Idenity the helping and linking and action verbs in the sentence She Works at an automobile manufacturing?

Q) plant in Michigan

A) In the sentence, "She works at an automobile manufacturing plant in Michigan," there is only one verb: work. This is an action verb, as she is obviously doing action by working. Helping verbs "help" (obviously) other verbs, as in "We will teach the class." Teach is the main verb, will is the helping verb. Linking verbs (also known as "state-of-being verbs") link one part of a sentence to the other: "My cat was lazy," where the linking verb is 'was' because it links "cat" to "lazy." Hope that helps!!

when an automobile is accelrated?

Q) when an automobile is accelarted forward A) the tires exerta forward action force on the road B) the road exerts a forward reaction force on the tires C)the tires exert a rearward action force on the road D) the road exerts a rearward reaction force on the tires the answer may be more than one, meaning that the answer is each choice which makes sense

A) B and C think of it this way. when you a wheel rolls, it pushes off the road in an opposite direction. the road acts as an equal and opposite force "pushing the car forward"

Please advise of the type of legal action that should be taken?

Q) Please advise of the type of legal action, and the steps that should be taken when an automobile repair shop places your life in danger. By letting you: •leave there repair shop without brakes(and not informing you) •By braking your brake pedal, •by making unauthorized changes to your vehicle •By placing loose parts & springs (important pieces) behind other parts within your car. State: Colorado -All ready tried resolving the issue with the company, and they refuse to help.(Both the store, and there corporate offices) -Contacted Attorney General -Contacted Better Business Bureau -Recently contacted media, waiting on response. Plus more

Is a automobile repair shop responsible for the actions of its mechanics?

Q) The mechanic did not put my vehicle information in the computer and has now since been terminated, the company says they are not responsible because he did not put my info in the computer. The car was at their shop and the mechanic said he was doing everything through the company. They now cannot locate my key or receipt and the work is not complete.

A) They are responsible for the actions of an employee while that employee is working for them, not 24 hours a day. Did you take your vehicle to the shop during working hours? Who did you make the appointment with? Who did you speak to when dropping off the vehicle? Did you sign a repair order? Did you pay a bill? Who has the vehicle? In reading your question it sounds like maybe the only person you spoke with originally was the fired mechanic? If you spoke only with him and paid him, you may have been ripped off by him. He may have been doing work at the shop on his own outside of the business(moonlighting). This may be why he is a former employee. It also sounds like you have no invoice from the shop? Contrary to the other opinions, you will have to provide some proof of payment to the business. Any warranty on repairs is purchased when paying for that repair. If the repair is not paid for, there is no warranty. If you have an invoice or cancelled check written to the shop for the repairs, then somebody is liable. Maybe it is the fired mechanic who is guilty of fraud. If you paid cash and have no invoice or reciept, chalk it up to experience as you should have known better. If you have not paid a bill and have your car(even if it unfixed), then you have lost nothing other than a key.

A 90% Cancer Cure Diet using Flaxseed Oil & Cottage Cheese?

A) This is all lies. I hope that neither you nor a member of your family get cancer (though you have a 1-in-four chance) and choose to follow this nonsense rather than actually having the disease treated. Think about how bogus the idea is that you can treat or prevent all cancers with the same thing! Do you for a moment entertain the idea that a crushed skull and a broken toe indicate the same treatment? Cancer is hundreds of diseases, not one... This person is trying to make money by selling an idea to sick people instead of treating them, which I find despicable.

Why does the Media promote a pro-liberal view? they are union?

Q) The National Writers Union is the trade union for freelance and contract writers: journalists, book authors, business and technical writers, web content providers, and poets. With the combined strength of nearly 2,000 members in 16 chapters nationwide, and with the support of the United Automobile Workers (UAW), the Union works to defend the rights and improve the economic and working conditions of all writers. War Will Hit Working People February, 2003 By a vote of 55 to 16 (with 4 abstentions) the NWU's national governing body, the Delegates Assembly, adopted the following resolution opposing a war against Iraq: ________________________________________ WHEREAS, over 100 trade unionists from 76 local, regional and national unions, central labor councils and other labor organizations (see details below) representing over 2 million members gathered in Chicago for an unprecedented meeting to discuss our concerns about the Bush administration's threat of war; and WHEREAS, union members and leaders have the responsibility to inform all working people about issues that affect their lives, jobs and families, and to be heard in the national debate on these issues; and WHEREAS, the principal victims of any military action in Iraq will be the sons and daughters of working class families serving in the military who will be put in harm's way, and innocent Iraqi civilians who have already suffered so much; and WHEREAS, we have no quarrel with the ordinary working class men, women and children of Iraq, or any other country; and WHEREAS, the billions of dollars spent to stage and execute this war are being taken away from our schools, hospitals, housing and Social Security; and WHEREAS, the war is a pretext for attacks on labor, civil, immigrant and human rights at home; and WHEREAS, Bush's drive for war serves as a cover and distraction for the sinking economy, corporate corruption and layoffs; and WHEREAS, such military action is predicted actually to increase the likelihood of retaliatory terrorist acts; and WHEREAS, there is no convincing link between Iraq and Al Qaeda or the attacks on Sept. 11, and neither the Bush administration nor the UN inspections have demonstrated that Iraq poses a real threat to Americans; and WHEREAS, U.S. military action against Iraq threatens the peaceful resolution of disputes among states, jeopardizing the safety and security of the entire world, including Americans; and WHEREAS, labor has had an historic role in fighting for justice; therefore We hereby establish the "U.S. Labor Against the War" (USLAW); and Resolve that U.S. Labor Against the War stands firmly against Bush's war drive; and Further resolve that U.S. Labor Against the War will publicize this statement, and promote union, labor and community antiwar activity.

Gas Price Whining Forces Rush to Explain Capitalism Yet Again?

Q) Gas Price Whining Forces Rush to Explain Capitalism Yet Again RUSH: I went to the MoveOn.org website today. You know what they're all up in arms about today? High gas prices. They're sending out an action e-mail to all of their members asking people to sign a petition to get Congress to do something about high gas prices, and Congress is going to do something about high gas prices. Have you heard this? They are going to sue OPEC! They are going to sue OPEC for high gas prices. Why aren't they suing Big Oil, I wonder? The House voted yesterday to allow the government to sue OPEC over oil production quotas. They ought to sue themselves! They're the ones standing in the way of our energy independence. You know, high gasoline prices, high oil prices today are partially due to the fact that back in the Clinton administration and since the Democrats have prevented any drilling in, say, ANWR or anywhere else for our own supplies of oil. They have all this dramatic talk about alternative fuels and so forth, which is a pipe dream. There's nothing down the road that's anywhere near something that's going to solve whatever problem we have. But I find it interesting they want to sue OPEC and not Big Oil. This is, again, something that will go nowhere. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: "The jump in U.S. gasoline prices this year has so far drained consumers of an extra $20 billion, or about $146 for each passenger car in the country, the Government Accountability Office told Congress on Tuesday." That's also known as the GAO. "The national price for regular unleaded gasoline hit a record $3.22 a gallon this week, and is up $1.05 since the beginning of February, according to the Energy Department." Now, get this. "The added expense is taking money away from consumers to spend on other goods and services." Yes, it is. "Spending billions more on gasoline constrains consumers' budgets, leaving less money available for other purchases." Why don't you people think about this on tax cuts, for crying out loud? If you want to cut prices on gasoline, cut the taxes, the state, the city, the feds, whatever else. It adds up to 60 cents a gallon. It's all profit. We've been over this I don't know how many times. Mrs. Clinton said something about doing something to increase the supply, lower the price, I forget what it was, and I'm sitting there thinking, if you are Big Oil and you are a global concern, your market is the world, why in the world would you invest heavily in -- I think this is about refineries, we need to be building more refines -- who's standing in the way of building more refineries? Environmentalist wackos. And who are they aligned with? They're aligned with the Democrats and left. But if you're Big Oil, why would you even consider investing gazillions of dollars in a country that is trying to ban your product? Somebody needs to ask that question besides me. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Mike in northern Wisconsin somewhere you're next on the EIB Network. Hello, sir. CALLER: Hey, Rush, how's it going? RUSH: Fine, sir. CALLER: I got a tanker up here, a gas tanker, and I'm not going to tell you who I drive for -- RUSH: Wait, wait, hold -- time-out, time-out, I want to hear -- you driving the tanker? CALLER: Yes, I am right now. I'm going to get another load of that precious liquid gold. RUSH: Yes. CALLER: (Laughing.) Anyway, what I wanted to say was, I just delivered in a store here, and they were lined up at two stations, the one I was at and one across the street. The prices -- for granted, let's say they're just high, okay, whatever. RUSH: Right. CALLER: We can't keep gas in the ground, people are buying it as fast as we can put it in the ground. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm just telling you it doesn't seem -- if the world is going you know where in a handbasket and everything is going bad, people seem to be buying gas and going on vacations up here and -- RUSH: We know this is true. Your little story here is anecdotal, but we know it's true. There have been surveys. Something came out yesterday that driving went down for a while, on a percentage basis from the previous year. But from what you're describing, people waiting in line for your truck to show up to refill the tanks at the station? CALLER: There was people there waiting, and I pulled in, and I had to block the road just so I could get in and unload this thing, and we ran all weekend. We had trucks out all week running. Now, if the economy is so bad, how come people keep buying all this gas and the motorcycles and their motor homes and -- somebody's making money somewhere putting this gas in their tanks. RUSH: You are really shrewd, I have to tell you, and plus you have the benefit of being an eyewitness to this. This notion the economy is in bad shape and that people are fretting over gasoline prices is simply manufactured news, manufactured news from the Democrat Party, and they're trying to compare it to food prices, which it is a necessary. We all have to eat in this country. I had somebody ask me the other day, "Rush, let me ask you a question, you once said, and you're right, that that you go to the grocery store and the profit markup in a grocery store on basic foodstuffs is 1%, grocery stores make their money selling the stuff at the checkout counter and the magazines and the candy and all this sort of stuff and the mops and the spic-and-span, whatever's in there. But on basic foodstuffs, profit margin is 1%, because people have to eat." He said, "Well, why doesn't Big Oil look at it that way. People have to drive to get to the grocery store to eat." I said, "Well, both prices, both profit markups, both businesses are constrained by the market forces in which they operate. People do need gasoline, and that's why they're driving." They're not going to slow down and they're not going to stop going to work and they're not going to get on the light rail train. We have some of the ugliest light rail trains I have ever seen in my life right down here in West Palm Beach. I don't go over there much, but sometimes I have to get to the airport. You get stopped sometimes, when I come in late from a flight getting home, midnight or one o'clock, that seems to be when these things are moving, and nobody's on them -- wait, no, that's the freight trains. Take it back. These are the transit, the rush hour, little all-day-long light train. They're supposed to be painted to look like Florida blue with the palm trees. They don't look like that. They look ugly. They look like they're unfinished, looks like they bought used train cars and they haven't done anything to them. But the thing I noticed, they're always empty. I scour, I look in the windows, you might see one or two people on a three-car train. They're empty. People don't want to get on these things, and they don't want to get on buses, outside of New York, where this is standard form of transportation, cabs and buses and subways and so forth. But around the rest of the country they want to drive their cars and they're going to and they're going to pay whatever it costs. They might complain but they'll pay it. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Darren in Billings, Montana, I'm glad you waited as we get back to the phones. Welcome to the EIB Network. CALLER: Hey, Rush, it's great to talk with you. Mostly dittos from Montana. RUSH: Thank you, sir. Never been there and would love to go. CALLER: I'd say, we'd love to have you up here sometime. RUSH: I'll make it at some point. CALLER: There we go. Hey, the problem with the analogy of the oil company and the grocery store is that the oil companies own the product from the raw stage to the retail stage. And the grocery store is actually the true showcase of the free market, where they're buying products from different places and different manufacturers and wholesalers, whereas the oil companies are controlling it all. RUSH: So? CALLER: Well, this is the reason that gas is the price that it is. They're the ones handling that. There is no free market in the oil business. RUSH: Okay. There's no free market in the oil business? The prices in the oil business are fixed? Democrats in Congress conducted an investigation, I think it was Senate Democrats might have conducted an investigation after Hurricane Katrina to find out if there was price fixing. The Democrats couldn't find any evidence of it. CALLER: No, I wouldn't say that there's price fixing. RUSH: Well, if you -- CALLER: I simply don't think that there is the true free market that we see in all the other industries. I don't see any other industry that controls things from raw material to retail sale. I don't think that the supply-demand -- RUSH: Well, then tell me how it is that the prices in this country are lower than they are anywhere else in the world? CALLER: I don't have an answer for you right off on that. RUSH: Well, you know, I've got limited time -- CALLER: I don't know how all the other countries are working. RUSH: You're a great guy, you're a nice guy. There's no free market in gasoline. Propaganda works on this every time the price starts going up, and I don't get it. I just don't. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: When you get otherwise intelligent people saying there's no free market in the price of gasoline, after all of the countless years of detailed attention paid to the subject, the painstaking research, the patient presentation of facts by me, I often throw up my hands. Let me try, because I know that the gas price is one of these things that when it comes up, it goes up, people think that there's some suspicious or conspiratorial reason behind it, they just cannot accept the fact that the free market works in gasoline. So let me ask a question. Or let me ask many questions. Let us speak of many answers. How many oil companies are there that sell gasoline in the United States of America? How many are there? Take a wild guess. I don't even know the answer, but it doesn't matter because there's more than one. If you don't think they are competing with each other, then you don't know the world. ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, and whoever the others are, they compete with one another. That's number one. I realize that some of you might think they all get together and set the price and so forth. Second thing is, how many companies are there selling gasoline in this country that are not American? Citgo is one, there's Hugo Chavez. British Petroleum. Do you think that ExxonMobil and BP and the rest are getting together with Hugo to set prices in the United States? Remember, now, these people are the world market. Now, where does this oil come from? Gasoline is oil first and there are a bunch of different places it comes from. All over the world. Comes from Canada. In fact, that's the number one country we get oil from. That's our number one importer. Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Russia. The oil companies do not own this oil as it is. I don't know if you've noticed this, but Hugo Chavez just kicked the oil companies out of Venezuela. He's nationalizing everything. He's taken it, screw you, if you want to stay here and run the wells and so forth we can work out a little production deal, but, ha-ha-ha-ha, this stuff belongs to Venezuela because the oil is ours. Same thing happened in Saudi Arabia and Rockefeller got his change before that happened, but same thing happened there, basically. "We don't need you anymore." So tell me how it is that oil, which starts the whole price timeline, coming from so many different places in the world, ends up as refined gasoline with no free market determining the price in this country. I want to know how this is possible. I want to know how it is that BP, ExxonMobil, Citgo, name other companies, the size that are out there -- hell, I don't know -- Conoco's merged with somebody. I want to know how they're getting together with the Russians and with the Saudis and coordinating this. Then I want you to tell me, the guys playing the futures market in oil on the commodities market, I want you to tell me how they are involved in this so that the price is set by one person from the time it comes out of the ground 'til it gets to your car as gasoline, the idea that that's true is false. All these companies compete with one another at the retail level, they are competing with each other to find oil all over the world. We have to buy oil from all these different countries, and we have to refine it here. All of these aspects have market circumstances that rein in the desire for people to charge more than what they can get for it. Then you've got the stockholders of these publicly traded companies who are demanding profits as big as they can be. They're publicly traded companies and if the managers of these companies don't get as big a profit as they could or if they get too little a profit, there's going to be hell to pay from the shareholders. Now, I want to know how in the world anybody can genuinely think that the oil companies, who are citizens of the world, own every bit of oil that comes out of the ground and then every bit of the processing before it becomes gasoline, then it becomes gasoline and goes into your tank, I want to know how this happens. This is news to me. And why is it that the Democrats in the Congress are suing OPEC in order to do something about the rising gas prices. Why aren't they suing Big Oil? And how is it that OPEC isn't Big Oil and how is it that Hugo Chavez isn't Big Oil and how is it that Russia isn't Big Oil, and how is it that British Petroleum and ExxonMobil and Conoco or whoever else, how come they are? I'm sitting here mystified by all this. This is not to say that I'm insensitive to the price, but the idea here -- oh, and one more question. Have you heard of a country called China? I'm sure many of you have. We refer to them here lovingly and affectionately as the ChiComs. Well, despite their best efforts over there, they are having an expanding economy. There are now multimillionaires in China and more and more people have access to automobiles that use gasoline, and they are putting a lot of pressure on the worldwide supply of gasoline, and in this country, your friends, the Democrats, are standing in the way of this country finding any more oil on our property; be it Alaska; be it off one of the coasts, they won't let it happen, while at the same time they're talking about energy independence. So I want to know how it is, at that Big Oil, which earns 30% of its income from operations in the United States, I want to know how it is that Big Oil and all these companies competing with one another somehow control the product around the world from the moment it comes out of the ground. I want to know how they own Saudi Arabia. I want to know how they own Russia. I want to know how they own Iran. I want to know how they own Venezuela. Niger, Big Oil -- there's oil coming out of the ground everywhere but here. I want to know this. If you can answer these questions, with all the pressure on the supply, the worldwide supply that the rising Chinese economy is put -- and the Indian economy, by the way, they're going bonkers as well, if you can tell me how Big Oil controls every drop from the time it comes out of the ground until tends up as gasoline in your tank, then I can maybe accept your -- but you can't tell me because it's not possible, because it isn't true, because it doesn't happen. If you want a shocking statistic, I've forgotten the actual numbers here. Going to have to go back to my website tonight to the archives, I gotta remember the date and find this. Maybe Koko can search for it real quick when he hears what I'm talking about here. I was playing golf with a guy who had just had a conversation with an energy expert and he was passing the story on, secondhand. I didn't hear it from the horse's mouth, but the numbers of people in the world who don't have electricity would stun you. Who don't have running water, stun you. Don't drive, don't have automobile, would stun you. It's a vast, vast majority. If those people ever got -- by the way, you people like flipping on the light switch at home. You like when the air-conditioner works? Where do you think that comes from? They won't let us do nuke power, so it's coal and it's oil. I haven't even scratched the surface of the oil industry here. I haven't even begun to scratch the surface, the costs in finding it, drilling it, bringing it up, transporting it as crude across the oceans and pipelines and so forth. I literally am amazed that somehow the truth and the facts of the oil business, economics of the oil business, escape people when the economics of most other things are never questioned. Well, I'm not totally mystified. You've got the Democrat Party and the Drive-By Media routinely telling people they're being gouged, and you've got Democrats talk windfall profits taxes and so forth and so on. I'm blue in the face trying to describe to you how much every gallon you buy goes to your state, local, and federal government as total profit. Nobody ever complains and they're talking about raising those taxes, by the way, in the midst of all this, yeah, because, you know what, as the price goes up, some people are buying fewer gallons of gas, and that's less tax money. So the roads may not be repaired, bridges may not be prepared and so forth. So all these people out there wanting you driving these little windmill hybrids. I'll tell you what, if everybody did that, and the consumption of gasoline went down big time, you think the taxes wouldn't go up to make up the loss to the government? It would. This market is so complex, it's like the climate, although it's not nearly as complex as the climate, it is profoundly complex, and to try to control it and corner it is impossible. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I have a little chart from the year 2001 from the Wall Street Journal. The source of this chart is Energy Intelligence Group. It's a chart of oil companies by size of crude production. The largest oil company in the world: Saudi ARAMCO is the number one oil company in the world in 2001, producing 8.3 million barrels of oil a day. Next is the National Iranian Oil Company, NIOC, at 3.77 million barrels of crude a day. The third largest oil company is PEMEX, that's Mexico, 3.56 million barrels, and they just announced a huge find in the in the Gulf of Mexico off of their shores. The fourth largest oil company by crude production -- and this is going to be a small number now given what's recently happened there -- is Venezuela. The company is PDVSA, three million barrels of crude a day, but they've just nationalized a bunch of oil down there, they claim, so they're going to be higher than that. Number five is ExxonMobil at 2.54 million barrels of crude a day. So you got Saudi Arabia at 8.3 million barrels a day. There's ExxonMobil at 2.54. ExxonMobil's market share of the world oil market is 3%. Don't anybody call here again and tell me about Big Oil engaging in price fixing and controlling every bit of the oil from the ground to your tank as gasoline.

A) Good post but those who need to know this won't bother to try and understand it because they want to be right rather than learn what is right. =

Stealing the dark: is it a conspiracy?

Q) STEALING THE DARK DARK CONSPIRACY INVOLVING ELECTRICAL POWER COMPANIES SURFACES FOR YEARS THE ELECTRICAL UTILITY COMPANIES HAVE LED THE PUBLIC TO BELIEVE THEY WERE IN BUSINESS TO SUPPLY ELECTRICITY TO THE CONSUMER, A SERVICE FOR WHICH THEY CHARGE A SUBSTANTIAL RATE. THE RECENT ACCIDENTAL ACQUISITION OF SECRET RECORDS FROM A WELL KNOWN POWER COMPANY HAS LED TO A MASSIVE RESEARCH CAMPAIGN WHICH POSITIVELY EXPLODES SEVERAL MYTHS AND EXPOSES THE MASSIVE HOAX WHICH HAS BEEN PERPETRATED UPON THE PUBLIC BY THE POWER COMPANIES. THE MOST COMMON HOAX PROMOTED THE FALSE CONCEPT THAT LIGHT-BULBS EMITTED LIGHT; IN ACTUALITY, THESE 'LIGHT' BULBS ACTUALLY ABSORB DARK WHICH IS THEN TRANSPORTED BACK TO THE POWER GENERATION STATIONS VIA WIRE NETWORKS. A MORE DESCRIPTIVE NAME HAS NOW BEEN COINED; THE NEW SCIENTIFIC NAME FOR THE DEVICE IS DARKSUCKER. THIS NEWSLETTER INTRODUCES A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF THE DARKSUCKER THEORY, WHICH PROVES THE EXISTENCE OF DARK AND ESTABLISHES THE FACT THAT DARK HAS GREAT MASS, AND FURTHER, THAT DARK PARTICLE (THE ANTI-PHOTON) IS THE FASTEST KNOWN PARTICLE IN THE UNIVERSE. APPARENTLY, EVEN THE CELEBRATED DR. ALBERT EINSTEIN, DID NOT SUSPECT THE TRUTH.. THAT JUST AS COLD IS THE ABSENCE OF HEAT, LIGHT IS ACTUALLY THE ABSENCE OF DARK... SCIENTISTS HAVE NOW PROVEN, THAT LIGHT DOES NOT REALLY EXIST! THE BASIS OF THE DARKSUCKER THEORY IS THAT ELECTRIC LIGHT BULBS SUCK DARK. TAKE FOR EXAMPLE, THE DARKSUCKERS IN THE ROOM WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW. THERE IS MUCH LESS DARK RIGHT NEXT TO THE DARKSUCKERS THAN THERE IS ELSEWHERE, DEMONSTRATING THEIR LIMITED RANGE. THE LARGER THE DARKSUCKER, THE GREATER ITS CAPACITY TO SUCK DARK. DARKSUCKERS IN A PARKING LOT OR ON A FOOTBALL FIELD HAVE A MUCH GREATER CAPACITY THAN THE ONES IN USED IN THE HOME, FOR EXAMPLE. IT MIGHT COME AS A SURPRISE TO LEARN THAT DARKSUCKERS ALSO OPERATE ON A CELESTIAL SCALE; WITNESS THE SUN. OUR SUN MAKES USE OF DENSE DARK, SUCKING IT IN FROM ALL THE PLANETS AND INTERVENING DARK SPACE. NATURALLY, THE SUN IS BETTER ABLE TO SUCK DARK FROM THE PLANETS WHICH ARE SITUATED CLOSER TO IT, THUS EXPLAINING WHY THOSE PLANETS APPEAR BRIGHTER THAN DO THOSE WHICH ARE FAR DISTANT FROM THE SUN. OCCASIONALLY, THE SUN ACTUALLY OVERSUCKS; UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS, DARK SPOTS APPEAR ON THE SURFACE OF THE SUN. SCIENTISTS HAVE LONG STUDIED THESE 'SUNSPOTS' AND ARE ONLY RECENTLY BEGINNING TO REALISE THAT THE DARK SPOTS REPRESENT LEAKS OF HIGH PRESSURE DARK BECAUSE THE SUN HAS OVERSUCKED DARK TO SUCH AN EXTENT, THAT SOME DARK ACTUALLY LEAKS BACK INTO SPACE. THIS LEAKAGE OF HIGH PRESSURE DARK FREQUENTLY, CAUSES PROBLEMS WITH RADIO COMMUNICATIONS HERE ON EARTH DUE TO COLLISIONS BETWEEN THE DARK PARTICLES AS THEY STREAM OUT INTO SPACE AT HIGH VELOCITY VIA THE BLACK 'HOLES' IN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN.AS WITH ALL MANMADE DEVICES, DARKSUCKERS HAVE A FINITE LIFETIME CAUSED BY THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NOT 100% EFFICIENT AT TRANSMITTING COLLECTED DARK BACK TO THE POWER COMPANY VIA THE WIRES FROM YOUR HOME, CAUSING DARK TO BUILD UP SLOWLY WITHIN THE DEVICE. ONCE THEY ARE FULL OF ACCUMULATED DARK, THEY CAN NO LONGER SUCK. THIS CONDITION CAN BE OBSERVED BY LOOKING FOR THE BLACK SPOT ON A FULL DARKSUCKER WHEN IT HAS REACHED MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF UNTRANSMITTED DARK... YOU HAVE SURELY NOTICED THAT DARK COMPLETELY SURROUNDS A FULL DARKSUCKER BECAUSE IT NO LONGER HAS THE CAPACITY TO SUCK ANY DARK AT ALL. A CANDLE IS A PRIMITIVE DARKSUCKER. A NEW CANDLE HAS A WHITE WICK. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT AFTER THE FIRST USE THE WICK TURNS BLACK, REPRESENTING ALL THE DARK WHICH HAS BEEN SUCKED INTO IT. IF YOU HOLD A PENCIL NEXT TO THE WICK OF AN OPERATING CANDLE, THE TIP WILL TURN BLACK BECAUSE IT GOT IN THE WAY OF THE DARK FLOWING INTO THE CANDLE. IT IS OF NO USE TO PLUG A CANDLE INTO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET; IT CAN ONLY COLLECT DARK. IT HAS NO RANSMISSION CAPABILITIES. UNFORTUNATELY, THESE PRIMITIVE DARKSUCKERS HAVE A VERY LIMITED RANGE AND ARE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE BECAUSE OF THE INTENSE HEAT PRODUCED. THERE ARE ALSO PORTABLE DARKSUCKERS, CALLED FLASHLIGHTS. THE BULBS IN THESE DEVICES COLLECT DARK WHICH IS PASSED TO A DARK STORAGE UNIT CALLED A BATTERY. WHEN THE DARK STORAGE UNIT IS FULL, IT MUST BE EITHER EMPTIED (A PROCESS CALLED 'RECHARGING') OR REPLACED BEFORE THE PORTABLE DARKSUCKER CAN CONTINUE TO OPERATE. IF YOU BREAK OPEN A BATTERY, YOU WILL FIND DENSE BLACK DARK INSIDE, EVIDENCE THAT IT IS ACTUALLY A COMPACT DARK STORAGE UNIT. THE DARKSUCKERS ON YOUR AUTOMOBILE ARE HIGH CAPACITY UNITS WITH GREAT RANGE, THUS THEY REQUIRE MUCH LARGER DARK STORAGE UNITS MOUNTED UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. SINCE THERE IS FAR MORE DARK AVAILABLE IN THE WINTER SEASON, AUTOMOBILE DARK STORAGE UNITS REACH CAPACITY MORE FREQUENTLY THAN THEY DO IN THE SUMMER, REQUIRING 'RECHARGING', OR IN SEVERE CASES, TOTAL REPLACEMENT. DARK HAS GREAT MASS. WHEN DARK IS DRAWN INTO A DARKSUCKER, FRICTION CAUSED BY THE SPEED AND MASS OF THE DARK PARTICLES (CALLED ANTI-PHOTONS) ACTUALLY GENERATES SUBSTANTIAL HEAT, THUS IT IS UNWISE TO TOUCH AN OPERATING DARK SUCKER. CANDLES REPRESENT A SPECIAL PROBLEM, AS THE DARK MUST TRAVEL INTO A SOLID WICK INSTEAD OF THROUGH CLEAR GLASS. THIS GENERATES A GREAT AMOUNT OF HEAT, MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS TO TOUCH AN OPERATING CANDLE. BECAUSE DARK HAS SUCH GREAT MASS, IT IS VERY HEAVY. IF YOU SWIM JUST BELOW THE SURFACE OF A LAKE, YOU SEE A LOT OF 'LIGHT' (ABSENCE OF DARK, TO BE MORE PRECISE). AS YOU GO DEEPER AND DEEPER BENEATH THE SURFACE, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT IT GETS DARKER AND DARKER. WHEN YOU REACH A DEPTH OF APPROXIMATELY FIFTY FEET, YOU ARE IN TOTAL DARKNESS. THIS IS BECAUSE THE HEAVIER DARK SINKS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE, MAKING IT APPEAR 'LIGHTER' NEAR THE SURFACE.THE POWER COMPANIES HAVE LEARNED TO USE THE DARK WHICH HAS SETTLED TO THE BOTTOM OF LAKES AND RIVERS BY PUSHING IT THROUGH TURBINES, WHICH GENERATES THE ELECTRICITY USED TO PUMP THE DARK TOWARD THE OCEAN WHERE IT MAY BE SAFELY STORED FOR THEIR DEVIOUS PURPOSES. PRIOR TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF TURBINES, IT WAS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO GET THE DARK FROM THE RIVERS AND LAKES TO THE OCEAN. THE INDIANS RECOGNISED THIS PROBLEM, AND DEVELOPED MEANS TO ASSIST THE FLOW OF DARK ON IT'S LONG JOURNEY TO THE OCEAN. WHEN ON A RIVER IN A CANOE TRAVELLING IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE FLOW OF DARK, THEY PADDLED SLOWLY, SO AS NOT TO IMPEDE THE FLOW OF DARK; BUT WHEN THEY TRAVELLED AGAINST THE FLOW OF DARK, THEY PADDLED VIGOROUSLY TO HELP PROPEL THE DARK ALONG ITS WAY. SCIENTISTS ARE WORKING FEVERISHLY TO DEVELOP EXOTIC NEW INSTUMENTATION WITH WHICH TO MEASURE THE ACTUAL SPEED AND ENERGY LEVEL OF DARK. WHILE SUCH INSTUMENTATION IS BEYOND THE CAPABILITIES OF THE AVERAGE LAYMAN, YOU CAN ACTUALLY PERFORM A TEST TO DEMONSTRATE THE UNBELIEVABLE SPEED OF DARK, RIGHT IN YOUR OWN HOME. ALL THAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE SIMPLE TEST IS A CLOSED DESK DRAWER SITUATED IN A BRIGHT ROOM. YOU KNOW FROM PAST EXPERIENCE THAT THE TIGHTLY SHUT DRAWER IS FULL OF DARK. NOW, PLACE YOUR HAND FIRMLY ON THE DRAWER'S HANDLE. QUICKLY YANK THE DRAWER OPEN.. THE DARK IMMEDIATELY DISAPPEARS, DEMONSTRATING THE BLINDING SPEED WITH WHICH THE DARK TRAVELS TO THE NEAREST DARKSUCKER! THE SECRETS OF DARK ARE AT PRESENT KNOWN ONLY TO THE POWER COMPANIES. DARK MUST BE VERY VALUABLE, SINCE THEY GO TO SUCH LENGTHS TO COLLECT IT IN VAST QUANTITIES. BY SOME WELL HIDDEN METHOD, MORE MODERN POWER 'GENERATION' FACILITIES HAVE DEVISED METHODS TO HIDE THEIR COLLECTION OF DARK. THE OLDER FACILITIES, HOWEVER, USUALLY HAVE GARGANTUAN PILES OF SOLIDIFIED DARK IN HUGE FENCED IN AREAS. VISITORS TO THESE FACILITIES ARE TOLD THAT THE HUGE BLACK PILES OF MATERIAL ARE SUPPLIES OF COAL, BUT SUCH IS NOT THE CASE. THE POWER COMPANIES HAVE USED SECRET ACRONYMS TO DISGUISE THEIR ACTIVITIES: "D.C." STANDS FOR "DARK CONSPIRACY", WHILE "A.C." IS SUSPECTED TO REPRESENT THE "ALTERNATE CONSPIRACY" WHICH WILL MOST LIKELY BE USED EXCLUSIVELY ONCE THE SECRETS OF D.C. ARE TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD. D.C. IS RAPIDLY YIELDING IT'S SECRETS TO THE PROBING EYES AND INSTRUMENTS OF HONEST CIENTISTS AROUND THE WORLD. THE U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL IS CONSIDERING ACTION TO BE TAKEN AGAINST THE POWER COMPANIES FOR THE THEFT AND STOCKPILING OF DARK FROM 'CONSUMERS'.

A) That makes as much sense as any Apollo hoax I've read here.

What do you call the movie/trailer effect where the video fast forwards and then suddenly plays in slow motion

Q) This happens a lot in movie trailers, especially those of action flicks. The video will play in fast forward, then suddenly crawls in slow motion to highlight a particular action, and sometimes will speed up again. They do this when sweeping an aerial view of a city in police procedural dramas like CSI, or to emphasize a trenchcoat-wearing character's coolness, like when Castor Troy climbed out of his car in Face/Off, or when an automobile stunt happens like in Matrix Reloaded or the Island. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift's trailer uses this effect a lot. I'm intrigued by how much this has become much of a cliche, and my question is whether this fast-forward, then slow-mo effect has a name. P.S. I'm not talking about Max Payne-like bullet-time. The video has to be played in Fast Forward BEFORE it slows down.

A) Essentially, it's just a time splice of the entire sequence. They splice the sequence into different sections (or clips) then speed up the sections they want to and slow down the clips when necessary when necessary, creating a rollover edit to make the clips flow seamlessly (as though they'd never been sliced in the first place). It's actually a variation of bullet-time, simply reversed, in a sense.

A 90% Cancer Cure Diet using Flaxseed Oil & Cottage Cheese?

A) This is unfounded and the use of oils in prostate cancer may worsen the condition. For other cancers and conditions, the diet is sound from a nutritional standpoint although unsupported by peer review as a cure for cancer. However, it should do no harm. But there is no miracle cure.
