Schedule C or Schedule K1 on Individual 1040 tax return?

I have X amount of $ income from an LLC that I run with my wife, so, I file a 1065 for LLC and each one of us have get a Schedule K1 with X/2 amount as income.





Now on our personal tax 1040, I want to claim a Home Office deduction and that, as I understand has to entered on Schedule C of 1040. Now, where do I report my income from the business? Should it be on Schedule C as income or as a partnership income? If we go Schedule C rout, Schedule C only shows a net loss from the business bcause of deductions whereas, I am reporting my income from the Business on Line 17 of 1040.


Should I just do a Schedule C (with income reported on it) and not enter my Schedule K1 on line 17?





Any help with this is appreciated.

Schedule C or Schedule K1 on Individual 1040 tax return?
If the home office was for the partnership, the expense goes on the 1065 and flows to the K-1 there.

V.C.F. and Monistat-1 interactions? Could I be pregnant???

My hubby and I have been preventing pregnancy for a bit until we can establish ourselves more. We've been using condoms and V.C.F. since b.c. pills make me nasueas. I've had a yeast infection so, I used Monistat-1 and later that evening we had sex using V.C.F. The package said it would basically make condoms useless and I was wondering if it would interact with the V.C.F.? Could I get pregnant? Also, on the V.C.F. package it says something about waiting 15 minutes til you have sex but, we didn't wait 15 minutes. We went right to it and he didn't... orgasm until much later. I was just wondering if I could get pregnant from any of this.

I would recommend checking with your dr on this to see what they say about the possible interaction of the two products.


Is C# a good platform for building games?

I'm interested in using C# to build my first video game. What interests me with C# is that it is fully object oriented and contains a wide array of codes in the .NET library. I'm thinking of designing a role playing game in C#, much like the Resident Evil series.





However, though it seems C# is up to the task of building games, I haven't heard much about developers using it which brings me to the question: Is C# a good platform for building games?

Is C# a good platform for building games?
I would say no. If you write a game using .NET functions, that requires the user to have .NET installed on their machine in order to run it.
Reply:yes
Reply:yea that what my dad uses
Reply:i don't know about c#, but c++ works great. then you can use directx or open gl, which are free graphics libraries. otherwise, making a game in c# is nearly impossible. i don't know how much experience you have, but c in general is very difficult. if you're a beginner, start with flash or vb.
Reply:only ameture games but still its better for just shows and animation
Reply:I personaly use Java, it's easy to use and it's cross platform. One of the major problems is deploying it to users but there are programs and methods that make it less difficult. I like to use it because it's easy, clean code, object-oriented, cross-platform, and applets are nice. Java has become quite advanced recently in the gaming area, there are libraries for OpenGL and joystick/controler input. It's my method, just be weary of the deployment.


Should I learn C thoroughly before going on to C++?

I have started learning C++ and I am on pointers at the moment and it can be a steep learning curve in some parts, some articles and friends have told me to learn C first because most OS's are coded in C so I can get a better understanding of whats underneath. Then they say after I have done C for a year and when i am 'good' at it I should then go back to C++ and then I will be able to pick it up faster and I will fully appreciate the advantages it provides.


My ambition is to become an ethical hacker (not a script kiddie) and many of the books I have picked up like unofficial guide to ethical hacking, quite a few of the code examples are in C which again is reminding me of what the articles and friends say but I would like your opinion please?

Should I learn C thoroughly before going on to C++?
The challenge with C++ is learning the object oriented approach which is different than the procedural approach of C. It is not simply a matter of learning some additional syntax. C programmers, when they first start C++ are often terrible C++ programmers because they write C code in using object oriented language and some of its features. You do not need to spend a year doing C. A month should be enough to get a good understanding of the features and do a few small projects.


Then, learn object oriented design. Object oriented application development is more about design than coding. It is a different way of thinking from the procedural concept.


Because of this, an employer will not think that you can just pick up C++ in a couple days.
Reply:C deals with pointers too. The only addition that C++ brings are classes, templates, operator overloading, and some other language changes. You probably should learn C first, but if you already know most of it, learning C++ shouldn't be a problem.





Most ethical hacking will deal with manipulating pointers in C. While you can do the same in C++, you don't really use classes to exploit memory management flaws, and so C is the more appropriate language for this.
Reply:Not necessarily. There is a reason C++ is called that. It is C incremented. Pointers are the same thing in both languages.





Now, if you want to be an ethical hacker, learning C will probably help as many OSs are written in C, so the code you will review will be mostly in C.





All that said, I recommend you switch to C, because it will help with the hacking. You can come back to C++ later. You may also want to look at assembly as well.





Oh, and it took me a while to get pointers too. I had to look at several different books to get the whole picture.
Reply:Go directly to C++ or Microsoft's version C# (C sharp).





Where can I get an ethical guide to hacking?





What do you want to ethically hack on an operating system?





The trend is towards web-based apps. There is nothing wrong with use Javascript or similar languages.


Should i take c or c++ courses?

the thing is that i am having core(basics) of c++ in 11th standard syllabus and advanced in 12th.i have heard that it is tough to do c++ without learning c.i only have time for one course.which one should i take?will learning C help me in 11th syllabus?will i be able to do c++ without c?

Should i take c or c++ courses?
I'm not sure what 11th standard syllabus is. But you don't need to learn C before you learn C++. They have a very similar syntax, infact C++ is just C and then some more bonus things. I think there are some helpful things in C++ that make it easier to learn. I learned c++ before I learned c.
Reply:Learn C++ first, I go to college and they teach us C++ before C. Once you learn C++, it will be easier for you to learn languages such as java and C. If you only knew C you would have a harder time going into C++ and Java. I am going to be a Jr. and just getting in to my first courses that involve anything besides C++.
Reply:Start with C. I work for a very large software corporation and C is very, very much still a part of the world. The answer that C++ is just advanced C is entirely incorrect. C has procedure semantics, while C++ is object oriented. They are two separate tools an engineer should have in his tool box these days.





Additionally I find that C++ slanted developers, with no formal C background, are terrible with things like memory management, and often over architect solutions in C++ making things much more difficult than need be.





So what if someone "mastered" C++ and picked up C along the way...It will never hurt you to take C, even if you do find it easy.
Reply:Don't worry about C, if you learn cpp you'll be able to read C code w/o a problem. And if you need help with syntax there's always the internet.
Reply:I ACED c++ and I am no genius, LOL I didn't have c before I took c++, you should be fine
Reply:C++ is a an advanced C.


I don't know how far or what other languages you have proficiency in. C or C++ are difficult to learn especially if you have little experience in high-level languages.


To see if you are prone to understand the syntax in C or C++, I would practice VISUAL BASIC just to get a "feel" for programming. If you decide to go ahead with C or C++, go for C++ as it is OK to absorb both at once if you are "into it".

You do not require that.


you should do #include %26lt;iostream%26gt; not #include %26lt;iostream.h%26gt;





iostream.h is for old C++ compilers which were made when the language standard wasnt complete.

D&C possible problems actuall overall health can someone tell me what they think ?

ok i had a miscariage and had a d%26amp;c on oct 12 2006. but i had carried the baby for 3 monthes unknowingly pregnant.they got me a d%26amp;c the next day soon as they found out because i had carried it for so long. ive never had so many problems since a pregnancy . i had a son on oct 15 of 2005 andevery was perfect afterwards till this. and ever since i had this d%26amp;c i have had bladder infection that has lasted since a month after the d%26amp;C. went back and had the preg dr check me out , he did an ultra sound and found nothing.ive been treated for this infection but took 4 different antibiotics to control it until i see my urologist on the 20th. they said its unlike my d%26amp;c could be linked but i am not sure. im always feeling sick to my stomach, have to pee all the time. before i got the iud birth control put in back in march i was having periods twice a month. and i still have milk in my breast. (is this unnormal) but im being dicked around with all these drs and i juz dunno.

D%26amp;C possible problems actuall overall health can someone tell me what they think ?
Have you been tested for PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)? That could be a reason why you did not concieve naturally and could cause miscarriages. I do not know if a D%26amp;C will cause other health problems. Because a D%26amp;C "cleans" you out. It just takes your uterual lining out. It hurts like hell. I've had one and I have PCOS. If you have any more questions feel free to email me. Good Luck!
Reply:Anytime you have any procedure such as a D%26amp;C you are taking a risk. Especially if the Dr isn't experianced and/or doesn't know what the heck they are doing. IUD's can be tricky as well. As far as milk in your breast. That can take a while to go away- up to 12-18 months. I b/f my DD for 7 months, she is almost 20 months and I still have traces of breast milk. I hope everything is ok. But do check around and get some good opionions for OB/GYN's in your area. And stick with one.
Reply:ive been through the same thing when i was 19 had to have the d%26amp;c .after words i was just like you had lot of problems .dr. kept telling me the same thing not from the d%26amp;c. i would get a bladder infection get rid of it 1 or 2 weeks later have another one.i still till this day think it was from the d%26amp;c too.took me over three years to get pregnant had problems when i did. kept getting bladder infections . had my period more than not.when i went to the urologist he stretched my uretyha track thank god i didnt get anymore bladder infections. had my son after five years of trying and drs telling me i woulndt have any more cuz i kept getting different infections finally years of fighting my problems i had a hysterectimy at age 41 too many problems but they never started till after my d%26amp;c. so i know how you feel.

Please help.....L.C.M problem.?

How to find the L.C.M of a + b + c


___ ___ ___ ?


a+b b+c c+a





It is,a upon a+b,plus b upon b+c,plus c upon c+a





Please explain in detail with proper steps and instructions.

Please help.....L.C.M problem.?
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking for. L.C.M. normally stands for least common multiple. Sums generally don't enter into it. You'd find the L.C.M. of a set of numbers by finding the prime factors of all of them, canceling any duplicates between numbers, and then multiplying together all the ones that are left. If there are multiple repeats of any of them within a single number, they each count as a separate factor, and you can only cancel one factor in each other number for one factor in the first number.





Are you asking to find the LCM of the denominators of the three fractions in order to add them together? If so, the easiest thing is just to muliply the three denominators together, and worry about canceling things later. You have to multiply each numerator by the other two denominators, so you're just multiplying each fraction by 1 each time.





If I'm understanding your details correction, you have:


[a/(a+b)] + [b/(b+c)] + [c/(c+a)]





First you'd multiply a/(a+b) by (b+c)/(b+c) and (c+a)/(c+a). That gives you [a(b+c)(c+a)]/[(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)]





Next multiply b/(b+c) by (a+b)/(a+b) and (c+a)/(c+a).


You'll get [b(a+b)(c+a)]/[(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)]





Then multiply c/(c+a) by (a+b)/(a+b) and (b+c)/(b+c)


You get [c(a+b)(b+c)]/[(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)]





Then add the numerators together, just like adding any other fractions with the same denominator.


That gives you


[a(b+c)(c+a)] + [b(a+b)(c+a)] + [c(a+b)(b+c)]


--------------------------------------...


[(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)]





Then you can multiply out all the terms, and look for things you can cancel between the numerator and denominator.

Reply:How did they lose your pics doing a memory upgrade? Did you have them upgrade the hard drive because you were running out of space? Or memory (RAM)?





Some companies pay high schoolers and unskilled people to make it look like they know what they are doing.





If they replaced your hard drive, you need to plug in the old hard drive to get your pictures back. Or if they reformatted your current drive, see if some disk restoration software can retrieve those files (many times they can be retrieved).

If a/(b+c) = b/(c+a) = c/(a+b) = r,then r cannot any value except?

If a/(b+c) = b/(c+a) = c/(a+b) = r,then r cannot any value except


(a) 1/2


(b) -1


(c) 1/2 or -1


(d) -1/2 or -1


The answer is c but how

If a/(b+c) = b/(c+a) = c/(a+b) = r,then r cannot any value except?
a/(b+c)=b/(c+a) =%26gt; a(c+a)=b(c+a)


ac+a^2=bc+b^2


a^2-b^2=-ac+bc


(a-b)(a+b)=-c(a-b)


1) a-b=0


a=b


or 2) (a-b)(a+b)=-c(a-b) /:(a-b)


=%26gt; a+b=-c


a+b+c=0


=%26gt; a/(b+c)=a/(-a)=r=-1





In the same way with b/(c+a)=c/(a+b) =%26gt;b=c or a+b+c=0


from b=c and a=c =%26gt;a/(b+c)=a/2a=1/2


that's all! if you have some questions mail me...
Reply:I a/(b+c)=b/(a+c) =%26gt; a2+ac=b2+bc


II a/(b+c)=c/(a+b) =%26gt; a2+ab=c2+bc


III b/(a+c)=c/(a+b) =%26gt; b2+ab=c2+ac





I,II =%26gt; a(b-c)=c2-b2 =%26gt; a(b-c)=(-b-c)(b-c)=%26gt; b=c or a+b+c=0


I, III=%26gt;b(c-a)=a2-c2 =%26gt; b(c-a)=(-a-c)(c-a)=%26gt; c=a or a+b+c=0


II,III=%26gt;c(b-a)=a2-b2 =%26gt; c(b-a)=(-b-a)(b-a)=%26gt; b=a or a+b+c=0





so you have to way


1- a=b=c =%26gt; r=a/(b+c)=a/(a+a)=1/2=0.5


2- a+b+c=0 =%26gt; r =a/(b+c)=a/(-a)=-1
Reply:Ok, all these answers would burst a Math novice's head blood vessels, so I come with a simple logic.


The answer is C, as everyone knows, and until u do a whole lot of manipulations, u might not know how they come up with the answer. But you can easily see that the answer is correct.


The C options show 1/2 and -1. Now, 1/2 could be written as 1/ (1+1), and 1/2 could be re-written as 1/ (1/2 + 1/2). In each instance, let each variable have one of the numbers, and try plugging them in. It'll work for both options. now, if u decide to try any other combo of numbers, it won't work for all of the variables.


Try it, it works!
Reply:Equate the last 2 parts of the statement by the 1st statement to make 2 equations


a/(b + c) = b/(c + a)


a/(b + c) = c/(a + b)





Multiply each by their LCD


a² + ac = b² + bc


a² + ab = c² + bc





Subtract the 1st equation from the 2nd equation


c² - b² = ab - ac





Transpose to the left


c² - b² + ac - ab = 0





Factor monomially and by special factoring


(c + b)(c - b) + a(c - b) = 0





Factor the groups


(c - b)(c + b + a) = 0





There are 2 cases


c - b = 0 or c + b + a = 0


Thus,


b = c (Let it be case A) or a + b + c = 0 (Let it be case B)








---case A---


Since b = c and


a² + ac = b² + bc,





Substitute b for all c


a² + ab = b² + b²





Add and transpose to the left


a² + ab - 2b² = 0





factor


(a - b)(a + 2b) = 0





There are 2 cases for case A


a = b or a = -2b





For a = b = c, The value for r is r = a/(b + c) = a/(a + a) = a/2a = 1/2


For b = c,a = -2b, The value for r is r = a/(b + c) = (-2b)/(b + b) = -2b/2b = -1








---case B---


a + b + c = 0


Thus,


b + c = -a


The value for r is r = a/(b + c) = a/(-a) = -1





Thus, the only values for r that we got is 1/2 (from case A) and -1 (from both cases). Therefore, the answer is (c) 1/2 or -1.





(Note that there are some undefined values for r, specifically when b + c = 0, a + c = 0, and/or a + b = 0, but this does not affect our answer.)








^_^


^_^
Reply:yes


the answer is C
Reply:a/(b+c) = b/(c+a) -%26gt; a^2 + ac = b^2 + bc (1)


b/(c+a) = c/(a+b) -%26gt; c^2 + ac = b^2 + ab (2)





(1) - (2) -%26gt; a^2 - c^2 = bc - ab


-%26gt; (a-c)*(a+c) = b*(c-a)


-%26gt; a = c (both sides are 0) or a + c = -b (cancel the random factor a-c)





If a = c then similarly we have b = c -%26gt; r = a/(b+c) = c/(c+c) = 1/2


If a+c = -b -%26gt; r = b/(c+a) = b/-b = -1
Reply:To explain r=1/2 is direct, when a=b=c, then sum of any 2 is the twice of any of them.


To explain r=-1, need to use complex numbers.


a=b=c=e^(ix), x=0, 2pi/3, 4pi/3


Visualize these 3 points in the complex plane, you will see that the addition of any two at the 180 degree rotation of the remaining one, and this rotation corresponds to a muliply by -1.


thus a = -1 x (b+c), b = -1 x (c+a) and c = -1 x (a+b).

Reply:If you look at crossovers, then you forgot that Marvel vs. DC ended with Marvel winning the majority of the five major fights.





The Avenger/Justice League crossover was also hugely laughed at by many long time fans since the storyline was heavily DC biased.





Regarding television ... what live action Marvel shows can you think of? If you want to go most recent and just mention Smallville, then let us not forget BIRDS OF PREY! Marvel's strengths, recognized by DC, are in movies and in animation. X-Men and Spider-Man were able to hold their own against the Batman and Superman animated series.





Going into movies, Marvel was terrible for the longest time while DC unleashed their flagship movies. However, everything changed when Blade hit the scene. DC had only one decent cinematic hit with Batman Begins (Constantine did decently, but paled in comparison to the Marvel titles). Marvel has been more vigilant in the film world than DC over the last several years with more title characters ready to make their big screen debut while DC is responding with Superman Returns.





I have noticed that DC continues to rest its hopes on Superman and Batman, while Marvel is willing to bring more of its universe out for everyone to see.

oh, dc writers and artists also go to marvel quite often, its not just a one way thing. so exhibit A doesnt stand. and dc shows might get the best ratings, but what abouts the comics? and the films? i dont see dc making any films. so exhibit B doesnt stand either. and as for exhibit C, that doesnt count at all because its a STORY. it could quite easily have been marvel that had to win, not dc. and exhibit D is just stupid.


so, after ripping your evidence to shreds, the defence rests its case!!!
Reply:I think that they both have some interesting characters, but by far DC RULES! Marvel is more for kids with charcters like Spiderman, where as you have really dark stories coming from DC - Batman is awsome, he's great because people can relate to him more because he's a real person, he doesn't have superpowers. My personal fave is Catwoman - she's feirce! The story lines are gritty and realistic, dealing with the hard lives of street people, such as prostitutes and theives. DC also deals with real political issues - like homosexuality, race and religion, also violence in society.


I do like the X men, because I think they give out a good message about accepting people. This argument will reign forever on which one is best. I think there's great charcters from both sides, also bad.


With the films (Which aren't really associated with this argument) Batman Begins is the most popular comic book movie ever - it grossed the most. It was hardcore where as Spiderman movies although good, were aimed at a much younger audience. Hence the Batman and Batman returns (Both directed by the amazing Tim Burton and are still the best!) being rated 15 while all the Marvel movies are PG:13


Wait till Superman Returns comes out, it'll knock Marvel on it's butt. Superman is the most popular comic book character ever and that's a fact. Not mine, I prefer Batman. The X men movies were good but they relied too much on special effects in the third one and the plot was all over the place. We all know the reason for this, because the director of the first two left to go do Superman- a DC movie.


On a whole though DC - are my personal favourite, they never disapoint. Plus lot's of the Marvel characters which are good are rip off of DC characters. Such as Daredevil rip of Batman. Black cat - poor rip of Catwoman. Stan lee even did his own take on some of the DC characters, so even he must like them a lot to do that. Of course his versions were very poor, in my opinion. DC ROCKS!
Reply:I like Marvel better.





Their characters are more well-developed.





And there is a reason why Marvel's writers are going to DC. DC needs the quality writers, the ones cutting their teeth on Marvel's books.





Ex: Read Moon Knight, Black Panther, and Captain America. Those are the best ones I can think of.
Reply:100% Marvel... I collected for about 7 years and tried to get into DC, but it all just seeemed a bit for-the-kids... I prefer the mutation theme as a credible way to gain powers and the way it relates to society...


DC is more for your kind of age group... not in a bad way, but the X-Men / Punisher and the like tackle darker storylines that you'll probably prefer as you get older...
Reply:marvel is ten times better than dc
Reply:MARVEL. In the DC/Marvel crossover the Kronos brothers destroyed each other if you read them. Both universes were ultimately saved by both teams working together. And MARVEL won. Also Marvel is more reality based especially in the cities the characters are portrayed in. As well as the artistry is more life like.
Reply:Dc: except for Exhibit D, Marvel is not in good shape right now but it did have excelent moments
Reply:Marvel because I don't know what D.C or Dark Horse is and they come out with really good movies to
Reply:D.C. FOREVER





Batman is the boss of all comic heroes
Reply:DC, no doubt. Emphasis is on good stories -- Sandman, JLA (when Grant Morrisson was writing), Batman, Hellblazer...the list goes on. Marvel has admitted it's all about the art, then they tack on a script. What the...?? It's like filming a movie, then adding the dialog later. Makes no sense. DC also was the first to branch out (Vertigo), and offer up more than just people in spandex.
Reply:D.C. No question about it!
Reply:Marvel no doubt
Reply:Dude D.C. is for kids. Marvel is for us grown ups. Marvel is the bomb.
Reply:Man.. i grew up on marvel. sure some of the writers took off and the story lines kinda suck now... but c'mon. they deserve credit for being so great in the past. and Dark Horse shouldnt even be in this debate.





by the way. do you think superman returns will outsell X3 in ticket sales?


Mr. A tells Mr. B that Ms. C and Mr. B are compatible. C seems to favor A, and treat B like dirt. What to do?!

A, B, and C are friends. A is the "wingman", he gives B tips on how to become the man of C's dreams. B, however is the "fall guy" he seems to be the butt of all jokes. C is obviously the "asset", without her, there is no fixation, no obsession, no jokes to be made at B's expense. A, B, and C have known each other for a little over a year now but A and C happen to be closer than B and C. Where A and C might want to share a hug, B and C share a moment of getting into a fight. A ends up with a touching moment, and B ends up with a slap in the face, literally! Still, A is convinced that B and C are meant to be together, but B is puzzled. He asks, "...if so, then why do I get slaps in the face and scratches all along my hands and arms?" A replies, "...you both fight and wrestle each other, you're both exactly alike, it's meant to be." The first question for you all to work on is what must B do in order to show C that he is NOT one to be messed with and that she should stop abusing him?

Mr. A tells Mr. B that Ms. C and Mr. B are compatible. C seems to favor A, and treat B like dirt. What to do?!
First, A is NOT the one to speak for C.





She has a mind of her own (as do all human beings). It's for HER to like who she likes.





Second, you don't at all explain why she hits and scratches him. If B is doing something to bring this about, he should knock it off. If she just does it out of the blue, he should avoid her.





B should stop listening to A. A is either messing with him, or simply doesn't know what he's talking about. Either way, clearly, A is wrong to keep encouraging B.





B needs to get over any interest in C.





If both A and C verbally abuse B, B should drop them both.





B can't control what C feels or what she does.





But he can control what HE does. What he should do is find better friends. Neither of these people is truly his friend.

hi,


My friend did this program for me in C++ ,and he doesnt know any thing about C,


then our lecturer told me the whole code should be in C language,so I changed some of it and the rest I couldnt .





I couldn't find library in C instead of

also there are some functions should be manipulate it .Can you help me plz?

Reply:conio.h works with c


your code seems almost working in c


save the program with c extension and the run it


it will work i think if not by errors u can see wats wrong and it would be easy for u to change
Reply:First, in order for your functions to follow your main(), you need to include function prototypes. You'll get a compiler error about not knowing what your functions are. Either move all of your functions above main() OR include function prototypes above the main() function as in:





int menu(void);





Next, clrscr(); is not an ansi function and won't be recognized by many compilers. You either need to figure out what the correct escape sequence is to clear the screen and include that in a printf statement, or issue something like system("cls");





Lastly, the exit() call requires stdlib.h

Planned C-Section experiences?

I had my daughter almost two years ago by unplanned c-section, so I am going to just go ahead and have the second by planned c-section.





Let me first tell you about my first labor/cesarean:





I was induced at 9 am, for a normal birth. I got my epidural at about 5 cm dialated and a couple hours into labor. Around 5:30 pm I was ready to push, which I did so for two and a half hours without a budge, they reduced the epidural to nothing so I was in horrible pain (back labor), finally around 8pm they decided the baby was stuck on my pelvis bone and too big. I had the c-section, and got a uterine infection in the process which made me spike a fever. Okay so after that long story, my c-section recovery was horrible and I did not get out of the hospital bed for two and a half days.





I just want to find out about the average recovery time and experience of an uneventful planned c-section. How long before you could get out of the hospital bed, etc.?

Planned C-Section experiences?
For the first answer...some hospitals wont do VBAC
Reply:Well...Mine wasn't a planned C-Section...It was emergency, she was breech at 40.3 weeks, and I was having active back labor.





But, I had the surgery at 1pm on a Wednesday, and by 6am Thursday, I had talked the nurse into removing the cathetar (Because it hurt SO bad) By 7am I was on the toilet trying to pass urine. So I was in bed less than 18 hours.





Yours could have been because you actually did try to push for over two hours. My sister-in-law was the same way, and she had a much harder recovery than I did. However, i thought she was milking the sympathy... Maybe not=)
Reply:ask your doctor she/he knows more than other people
Reply:hey,





I have had three c- sections and two of the three were planned, however all three of mine decided to be dfficult.





My first I was in labor for 10 hours and then they decided she was not coming out so we did a c-section. That was the hardest for me to recover from because I was exhausted to start with from labor.


My second one was a planned section but she came a week early. Wasn't an emergency as much as it was.. well your here and it is considered full term so let's do it. I didn't have much problem recovering from that one at all.





my last one was complete emergency he came five weeks early and ended up in the nicu.. However I was up an walking aroun with in 18 hours of the operation.





What I can really say is it all depends on you. I was a determined mom who wanted to be able to rock and hold my babies so I didn't want to be draggin a catheter or an iv pole with me.





With all two of the three, I left the hospital with in four days of the operation and I was feeling pretty good. Don't be shy with the pain meds.. I was always making sure I overlapped them a little bit so that they didn't wear off before I took the next.





The best thing that I can tell you is I was up and about an back to semi normal activites with in 2 - 3 weeks of having the baby. minus the lifting of heavy objects part.





Even with my son I lost a lot of blood and he was in the nicu but I had asked to have the catheter out with in 24 hours as well as the iv so that I could function like a person again.





I think the biggest part to remember is that you can control that part of it. For me when I got rid of the stuff they had poked and prodded me with I felt more like a person. That and when I could get into my own pajama pants and take a shower... it was like heavan. even though i was in the hospital...





ya know in the end everyone recovers differently and sitting up in bed to talk or fill in the baby book is a plus.. as well as taking two steps to the rocker to eat dinner .. is a step..





I hope that helps sorry I ramble ..





good luck
Reply:hey,i think you should do whatever you feel is best for you, i had a c-section,i think its only bad in the hospital,i was up and doing my thing the next day, my son stayed in the ICU so i went to the hospital everyday,if you strong you can do it, but still take it slowly,good luck
Reply:well now adays they have you get out of bed right away. I had my son by c section at 2 in the morning and they had me out of bed at 10 am. the key is to keep up on pain meds. dont wait till the pain sets in to take something. take something as perscribed every 4 hours or every 6 hours and like i said take it even if you dont have pain because if you dont and then you get pain it takes you longer to recover from that pain and get pleanty of rest. when the baby is sleeping try to sleep too and eat healthy these are all good guidelines to follow after any surgery they promote healing. good luck
Reply:I think everyone is different. I have had 3 sections and my 3rd one was the hardest...I didnt have any issues or anything, it just seemed like it took longer to recover. I was up and moving around by the next day though (not too much though). I stayed in the hospital a total of 3 days, although I could have left after 2 days, I felt like I needed an extra day to rest. My 1st and 2nd sections were easy and fast recoveries.


A point (a,b) is reflected over the line Ax + By + C = 0. What is the new point?

I think I have yet another way to derive the result.





http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?...





y = -A/B x - C/B





Move C/B units up in the vertical direction:





y = -A/B y





(a,b) becomes (a, b+C/B) = (a,c)





the angle between the line y = -A/B y and y = x is arctan(-A/B) - pi/4





rotate the point (a,c) about the above angle and reflect across y = x by switching the y- and x-coordinates:





a' = a cos(pi/4 - arctan(-A/B)) - c sin(pi/4 - arctan(-A/B)) = c''





c' = c cos(pi/4 - arctan(-A/B)) + a sin(pi/4 - arctan(-A/B)) = a''





rotate the point (a'',c'') about the angle arctan(-A/B) - pi/4:





a''' = a'' cos(pi/4 - arctan(-A/B)) + c'' sin(pi/4 - arctan(-A/B))





c''' = c'' cos(pi/4 - arctan(-A/B)) - a'' sin(pi/4 - arctan(-A/B))





Finally, translate the point A/B downward in the vertical direction:


(a''', c''' - A/B).





I wonder if this can be simplified to


x' = ((b²- a²)x - 2a(by + c)) / (a²+b²)


y' = ((a² - b²)y - 2b(ax + c)) / (a²+b²)

A point (a,b) is reflected over the line Ax + By + C = 0. What is the new point?
If you are interested in another methodology, we can use vectors.


I am going to give a numerical example to demonstrate the method





Say we want the reflection of A(1, 2) about 2x + 3y = 6





The line through (1,2) perpendicular to 2x + 3y = 6 is





(1 + 2t, 2 + 3t) and it intersects 2x + 3y = 6 at





2 + 4t + 6 + 9t = 6


13t = 2


t = -2/13


point of intersection M( 9/13, 20/13)





M is the midpoint of AA'


OM = 1/2 OA + 1/2 OA'





OA' = 2OM - OA = (18/13, 40/13) - ( 1,2) = (5/13, 14/13)





In agreement with the result obtained by substituting into formula given bellow.





It looks messy with letters so I will leave it at that.
Reply:This is an offshoot from this question, rather than an answer to it. It relates to your comment about proving that a combination of two reflections about two intersecting lines is a rotation about the point of intersection through double the angle required to rotate the first line onto the second. I take that as proven, and address this problem:


A rotation about point A through angle x, followed by a rotation about point B through angle y, is equivalent to a rotation through angle x+y. But where is the centre of this single rotation?


There is a very simple construction for locating this centre, obtained as follows:


Through the point A, draw a line k inclined at angle -x/2 to the line AB. That is, rotating k about A through angle x/2 brings it into coincidence with AB. Then


M(AB) M(k) is equivalent to rotation about A through angle x, where M(u) denotes reflection in line u and operations are carried out from right to left.


Through B, draw a line s inclined at angle y/2 to AB. Then


M(s) M(AB) is equivalent to rotation about B through angle y.


Hence rotation about A through angle x followed by rotation about B through angle y is equivalent to


M(s) M(AB) M(AB) M(k)


= M(s) M(k) since reflection is self-inverse.


Angle properties show that s is inclined to k at an angle


x/2 + y/2 [Either use vertically opposite angles and exterior angle of a triangle, or draw a line thru intersection point, parallel to AB, and use corresponding angles and alternate angles]


therefore the combination of rotations is equivalent to a rotation through angle x+y about the point of intersection of k and s.
Reply:If You wish to get it in the most straightforward way, don't forget that the analytic geometry is the most successful try to "algebrize" the geometry in the history of science. Some even say that in "analytic geometry" the adjective contains 99% of the essence, the noun - 1%. So forget about rotations, translations, angles and think algebraically, not geometrically.


Let P'(x', y') is the given point, P"(x", y") is the symmetric point with respect to the line L with the equation:


L: Ax + By + C = 0 /A, B, C = const, at least one of A, B not 0/


Remind that (A, B) is a non-zero vector, normal (perpendicular) to L. The distance from P' to L is:


|(Ax' + By' + C)/(A² + B²)|


and the ORIENTED DISTANCE is the same expression without the absolute value. P' and P" are symmetric, hence their oriented distances are sign-negated, since the points are in opposite semi-planes with respect to L:


(Ax' + By' + C)/(A² + B²) = -(Ax" + By" + C)/(A² + B²)


and that yields


1) Ax" + By" = -Ax' - By' - 2C


The symmetry requires P'P" to be perpendicular to L, hence the vectors P'P"(x" - x', y" - y') and (A, B) to be collinear, so


their coordinates must be proportional, what leads to:


2) -Bx" + Ay" = -Bx' + Ay'


Finally all You need is to solve the system 1) - 2) for x", y". The Cramer rule /the determinant A² + B² ≠ 0!/ yields exactly both expressions in Your question /in my notations/:


x" = ((B² - A²)x' - 2A(By' + C)) / (A² + B²)


y" = ((A² - B²)y' - 2B(Ax' + C)) / (A² + B²)
Reply:♠ the equation of the line L is c*x +s*y =d, where


c=A/√(A^2 +B^2), s=B/√(A^2 +B^2), d=-C/√(A^2 +B^2) in your terms;


♦ c %26amp; s are components of unit vector i’ normal to L, while unit vector


j’=[k×i’]=(-s,c) is directed parallel to L, and


d is bias (displacement) of L from origin (0,0);

♣ with above told vector (a,b)=d*i’+p*j’+g*i’, where


p %26amp; g are measured with respect to L;


thence ((a,b)·j’)=p, and ((a,b)·i’)=d+g;


♥ the mirror point in question is


(a’,b’)= d*i’+p*j’-g*i’;


(a’,b’)= [2d -((a,b)·i’)]*i’ +((a,b)·j’)*j’=


=(2d -ac -bs)*(c,s) +(-as +bc)*(-s,c) =


=(2dc -acc -bsc +a*ss -bcs, 2ds -acs -bss -asc +bcc)=

-2BC +b*(A^2-B^2) -2aAB) /(A^2+B^2);


▬ to your additional details; looks bizarre for me, I can’t follow it sorry; check numerically if you understand the stuff;
Reply:starwhitedwarf has the most straight forward method.





Using her example. Reflect the point A(1, 2) across the line





2x + 3y = 6





The perpendicular line thru A(1, 2) that intersects the given line is:





r(t) = %26lt;1, 2%26gt; + t%26lt;2, 3%26gt; = %26lt;1 + 2t, 2 + 3t%26gt;





As she notes, plug this into the formula of the given line and solve for t.





2x + 3y = 6


2(1 + 2t + 3(2 + 3t) = 6


t = -2/13





To find the reflection point simply double t.


t = 2(-2/13) = -4/13





x' = 1 + 2t = 1 - 2(-4/13) = 1 - 8/13 = 5/13


y' = 2 + 3t = 2 + 3(-4/13) = 2 - 12/13 = 14/13





The reflected point is A'(5/13, 14/13).





As you can see, this agrees with starwhitedwarf's answer.

Apts' A/C stops cooling when hot outside?

This is the second summer out a/c has stopped working when the temp outside starts rising into the 90's. We live in S.TX %26amp; it's already over 90* during the day. Our A/C stops cooling-it's on auto %26amp; set at 77*, but will stay around 79-80* during the day. It'll keep running %26amp; just blow air. Not hot or cold air but the same temp as it already is inside.


Our landlord sucks and never follows through when we tell him about a problem. He's taken over a couple wks to get the A/C guy over here! He finally did today when we weren't home and just said that our filter needed changing. But he was wrong b/c that's NOT the problem! We replace the filter every month %26amp; he just took it out and didn't put a new one in and the a/c is still working the same way-not cooling until the air outside starts to cool during the night. I tried telling him we may need the unit replaced but how can we tell what's wrong with it ourselves since the a/c guy didn't do jack?

I reformatted my hard drive called C. I then put windows XP back on it. I also have another hard drive that used to be called "D" but after I formatted my C hard drive, D was no where to be found. Instead my CD-ROM took the place of it.


I checked in "My Computer"- there is only "C" BUT device manager and system info both recognize that there are two hard drives Maxtor 2BO....*(My old D(20gig)) and Maxtor 6YO..... (My C)I even tried running a Maxtor Diagnostic Boot up Floppy, and what do you know, according to this ******* disc both hard drives are there and working fine and dandy. and yes i reformatted my C twice over after this shpeel. I have no way of accessing this hard drive becuase in "My Computer", there is no other hard drive but C. This is outrageous becuase my whole life is stored on that other drive. HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPP! PLEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you tried searching for your files by name?
Reply:but no devive
Reply:Wow - so many things possible here.





Go to your admin tools in control panel, and select computer management then storage and disk management.





This should list all your physical drives as well as virtual drives. If you're still only seeing your C: physical drive, then there is definitely something amiss...





If both drives are present and windows (curse that it is) is seeing multiple physical drives, try running diags on it... and read through what info windows has on the drive.





It may be something as simple as a jumper setting on the back of the drive (I've had many drives disappear over cabling or jumpers.)





I wish you luck - worst case, if you really have a lot of info on the drive... pull the drive and stuff it in an external caddy with USB or 1394 connections... boot system and you can retreive your data... had to do that in the past for customers.

Five points, O, A, B, C , D, OP = ?

Five points O, A, B, C, D are taken in order on a straight line with distance OA = a, OB = b, OC = c, OD = d. P is a point on the line between B and C such that AP:PD = BP:PC. Then OP equals:





a) (b^2 - bc) / (a - b + c - d)





b) (ac - bd) / (a - b + c - d)





c) (bd + ac) / (a - b + c - d)





d) (bc + ad) / (a+ b + c + d)





e) (ac - bd) / (a + b + c + d)





I'm looking for a worked out solution to this problem. This is a serious geometry problem i can't seem to figure out. Help is very much appreciated.

Five points, O, A, B, C , D, OP = ?
Let OP = x


Then:


AP = x-a,


PD = d-x,


PC = c-x,


BP = x-b





Now AP:PD = BP:PC


(AP)(PC) = (PD)(BP)


(x-a)(c-x) = (d-x)(x-b)


cx - x^2 - ac + ax = dx - bd - x^2 + bx


(a+c)x - ac = (d+b)x - bd


(a-b+c-d)x = ac - bd


x = (ac - bd) / (a-b+c-d)





So answer b is correct.


I hope this helps!
Reply:What is : when you say AP:PD?
Reply:answer is b)(ac - bd) / (a - b + c - d)








let the line be


--------------------------------------...


o a b p c d








given AP:PD = BP:PC





==%26gt; AP/PD=BP/PC


AP*PC=BP*PD


(OP-OA)*(OC-OP)=(OP-OB)*(OD-OP)


(OP-a)*(c-OP)=(OP-b)*(d-OP)


MULTIPLYING


c*OP-ac-OP^2+a*OP=d*OP-bd-OP^2


CANCELLING OP^2 ON BOTH SIDES,


TAKING OP TERMS TO ONE SIDE,


OP(a-b+c-d)=ac-bd

AP=OP-OA


PC=OC-OP

I can't understand why you have included conio.h.





Also if you are using Unix or Linux environment,,you can write the program as follows,to prevent warnings:





#include%26lt;iostream%26gt;





using namespace std;





int main()


{


int n=1, sum=0;


while(n%26lt;=10)


{


sum=sum+n;


n++;


}


cout %26lt;%26lt; "The sum is : " %26lt;%26lt; sum;


return 0;


}
Reply:c++ adds to the c language, so what you have will already work with a c++ compiler. However, the standard for formatted text output in c++ is cout (or its companion cerr), so I would change that. I would also explicitly include the arguments to main to make it cross platform compatible.





#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;





using namespace std;





int main(int argc, char *argv[])


{


int i=1, sum=0;


while(n%26lt;=10)


sum=sum+n;


n++;


}





cout %26lt;%26lt; "the sum is " %26lt;%26lt; sum %26lt;%26lt; endl;

The following is the usual first C++ program (hello world type) when you begin, if you compare that with the usual C one it will give an idea of some differences (of which there are many). Good luck and bon voyage!





// function main begins program execution


int main()


{


std::cout %26lt;%26lt; "Welcome to C++!\n";





return 0; // indicate that program ended successfully





} // end function main
Reply:Before changing ur program into C++ u should correct it! ur program doesn't work! u haven't use "i" at all and instead u have used "n" which is not declared anywhere! Your program should ask the user to enter desired "n" %26amp; use "i" as a counter. This is the right program:


#include%26lt;stdio.h%26gt;

int i=1,sum=0,n;

Vitamin C?

I know that it's okay to take more than 100% of vitamin C in a day and that it helps the immune system. But am I consuming too much vitamin C? I'm kinda sick right now (cold) and am eating cough drops with 100% of vitamin C in them along with drinking juices with vitamin C.





I estimated my vitamin C intake for the day to be about 1,000% (or 600 mg), is this okay or should I try to scale back?

Vitamin C?
600 mg of vitamin C isn't going to hurt. Many of the old reports on use in colds used daily doses of 4000 mg, and even that rarely caused kidney stones. On the other hand, later studies and meta-analyses have pretty well debunked the whole concept. If you have a normal immune system, there's nothing that you can take or do to make it better than normal.
Reply:lets just say ive never heard of anyone overdosing on vitamin C. lol, but if u notice something unusual, other than the cold u already have, id cut back. just use common sense

Help with c program...?

I have this question i need help solving.





Q)) Write a program to obtain all possible digit combinations for an entered number. (eg. entered no = 198 (combinations - 198,189,981,918,891,819))





This was my soln.





void main()


{


int a,b,c,d,e,f,i,j;


clrscr();





printf("Enter 3 digit no.");


scanf("%d",d);





a=d%10;


d=d/10;


b=d%10;


d=d/10;


c=d%10;





for(i=1;i%26lt;=3;i++)


{


for(j=1;j%26lt;=2;j++)


{


printf("%d%d%d",a,b,c);





e=b;


b=c;


c=e;


printf("%d%d%d",a,b,c);


}





f=a;


a=b;


b=f;





}


getch();


}





The solution is very bulky and it works only for a 3 digit no.





I would appreciate if anyone could suggest how to go about making it more simple and general. (btw no. of combinations for a number with 'x' digits is x factorial)

Help with c program...?
My only real idea would be to take the number they entered in and parse it down into an array. int nums[x] or whatever where x is the digit size of the number. Then with the array you can do basically the same thing as you did. That way it could handle any size number they input.





Let me know if that idea helps at all.

Is hepatitis c has bcome a big prolem in this world. u can't live simple healthy life. hep c fears everywhere?
hcv discriminates against no age, no person, no country. no one is safe from hcv because there are many circumstances that can lead up to getting hcv.





hcv is blood to blood transmission. most of those that have one partner affected by hcv do not both have hcv. reason being is because hcv can only infect another through contaminated blood and the blood would have to enter the bloodstream of the other in order for hcv infection to take place.





sexual intercourse as long as there is no blood present poses no risk at all. semen, vaginal fluid, saliva, tears contain "corpuscles"-these are NOT transferrable, nor contagious.





you are getting the wrong information about hcv and how it is acquired.





as for your aunt having another baby and she is not infected with hcv, there is no way the baby could be born with hcv.





chances of household exposure poses the real riskiness in a family that has a member infected with hcv. do not share anything that would have blood on it, this includes, but not limited to: sharing toothbrushes, razors or scissors, knives ect.....


anything that could have fresh or dried blood on it can tranmsit if someone accidentaly used the wrong toothbrush or razor and they cut themselves with it.





hcv is blood to blood only.





as for your uncle? with hcv infection comes depression and other mental disease. having a wife that does not understand the disease does not help.





i think the whole family needs to hear the correct issues regarding hcv.





have you been tested? chances are most people have one risk factor....peircings, dental visits, operations, mass innoculation, paper cuts, ect ect ect.....





most do not know they have hcv.
Reply:Unfortunetely, travelling will not get you away from HepC, although the prevalence of Hep C in North America and North Europe are less than they would be in india (unless if you have an arranged marriage with someone who has just moved from a high-risk area.)


Hep C spread requires blood to blood contact, so sexual transmission CAN occur, but it is not extremely common.


The best advice I could think to give you is talk to your potential partner about your concern, and see if he will agree to a blood test for HepC. Another important note is that 90% of HepC infections don't have any symptoms, so if you are very concerned about the disease, you may also want to have a blood test. But I understand that access to these health care facilities may not be available where you are, or there may be cultural taboos surrounding the issue as well.





Check out the WHO website, or wikipedia. They have some good information about transmission and prevalence.

Planned C-Section?

I had a c-section with my daughter three almost four years ago. It was not planned I went in very sick they tried to induce and break my water but I would not dialate. I had to have a c-section. I will be having a planned c-section on July 31 and I'm wondering what producers do they follow for a planned c-section? How many hours before you had it did you arrive at the hospital? Where you able to see your family before your c-section? Anything else you can add will be helpful!!

Planned C-Section?
My second planned C-Section was planned for 1:30pm. I had to be at the hospital to do paperwork that had not already been done...mainly to be admitted and get to the recovery area. I had to be there at 10:30am. The time went by super fast. It didn't seem at all like that long. Plus I'd say they pulled me in at 1pm because they were ready.





You'll have to meet with the nurse for the anesthesiologist so she can go over their procedure. I waited in a private recovery room; the same recovery room I'd be in when it was over. My husband, one person, was allowed to wait with me while the rest of my family was in the waiting room.





When it was over and I went back to recovery my husband was allowed to come in and out since my recovery room was private. It was my first experience with a private recovery room which was very nice. He would go and stay in the nursery while the nurses cleaned her and then come back and tell me how everything was going.





One thing that was different between my first c-section and my second was that my first one was an emergency. I'm not sure if your's was, but I went in to be induced and had to have an emergency c-section about 10 minutes into the drip. The first one, there were people all around in the OR. Everything was hurried and fast. With the planned section, there were only 4 people in the OR and it was very controlled, almost relaxing. It wasn't fast or too scary because everything had been planned.





I think it was wonderful the second time around. I hope yours will be too!
Reply:i arrived 2 hours early from my scheduled time. was hooked up to fetal monitors, given an IV, and had to undress to hospital gown. due to so many women needing c-sections in the hospital mine was delayed for 3 hours. while in the prep room i was able to have family come and see me. i was then wheeled to the operating room and my husband was escorted to another area to get the scrubs on.





one thing i was not prepared for, i was freaking out about the spinal. i have pericings and tattoos and knew i could handle it but just knowing something is being pocked into my back made me unnerving. after i had the spinal a wave of emotions came over me. isolation, scared, panicked, dread. the whole flight or fight response. i was also shaking badly which made things worse. once i had somebody familiar next to me i felt much more releaved. and the spinal seems like its forever. it doesn't hurt but is just an uncomfortable weird feeling.
Reply:I had a planned c-section again and it was so different. My 1st c-section was an emergency, there was doctors and nurses rushing all over and not telling me what was going on, I was so drugged up I don't recall the birth, and I was so very scarred for all of those reasons. This c-section was planned. The anesthesia doctor called me the night before and explanned the whole procedure to me and asked about my medical history. He explained who would ne in the room and what I would experience, he kept repeating this will be so different than your 1st c-section because it is planned. He was so correct. I arrived at 6:30am for a birth at 8:30am. they put me in a laboring room and family was welcomed, the nurses did blood work and an IV and than the Doc's came back and took me to surgury a couple hours later. When I arrived in the room they had soft music going and they were all so friendly and talkative. They gave me the epidural and laid me down and the anesthesia doctor was right by my head the whoe time explaining everything to me. They brought back my husband after they had made the incision and within 10 minuts I hear a little cry. They tell my husband to carry her back to my laboring room with the nurse and they start the testing and washing of my baby while I am getting stiched up. When she was born all the doctors and nurses started singing "Happy Birthday" to her, it was the sweetest thing. The recovery was also so much easier with the 2nd, be sure not to overdue it and you will be fine!! Good Luck to you!!
Reply:You usually arrive a few hours before so they can draw blood, start an IV, shave and prep you, put the baby on the monitor, etc. You might be able to have visitors prior to delivery, depends on policy. Then they bring you into the OR, give you the spinal block, and get started.
Reply:I think you meant procedures, not producers.





Varies by hospital, but I was the driver for a single mom recently and we arrived at L%26amp;D at 5 a.m. She had her c-section at about 7:45 a.m. (it was scheduled for 7:30, but I don't know what was the delay). After the first hour (changing, drawing blood, personal questions), I was with her most of the time up until she walked to the surgery room. Now, the time spread may be greater if you aren't the first surgery of the day or if you have other medical problems.





Have a birthplan - it helps if you go on the tour they typically give to women attending the birthing classes (they let anybody go on the tour, so ask) to know what the standard care is. It helps them to know what your expectations are as well as your concerns.

Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V?

Hi , Is there a Option in windows , where I can store 2 words and paste them seperately.


eg In one file I have to copy a line " apple" I select apple %26amp; Ctrl+C to copy , and I can paste it using ctrl + v.


Now I have another line say : "orange" . If I ctrl+c on ornage and do Ctrl V, I paste orange.





If I want to paste apple again ,I have go to file and do Ctrl+C again on apple. Is there ant way to copy apple , then again copy orange and paste orange or apple whatever I want





Are there keys available like .... For instance let ..


ctrl+c copies apple %26amp; ctrl + [ key ] + C copies orange.





Now If I want to paste


ctrl+V pastes apple %26amp; ctrl + [key] + V pastes orange .





The above question is for 2 datas , Also If it could be extended to 3 or 4 it would be great .





Thanks.

Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V?
Nope...


but you could:


copy apple


paste it


copy orange


paste it


so now you have apple orange


copy both words at the same time..and paste again to get this


apple orange apple orange apple orange
Reply:You could copy "apple" paste it then copy "orange" next to "apple" so that you have "apple orange" and copy that then paste it where you need it. Then just delete the word you don't need.





Or





If you dont want to type the word apple so many times type "@" for apple instead. Then type Org for orange.


Then when you're done, go to Edit and Replace, type @ for the word to be replaced and apple to be the replacement word. and click on Replace All.


then do the same for Org/Orange.


You can just type apl for the word apple

Removing C-clip on passenger side rear Axle shaft for 94 ford E-150?

Someone already answer portion of my questions at this link:


http://au.answers.yahoo.com/answers2/fro...





I have been trying to remove the C-clip that is around the end of the axle shaft with two screw drivers. It kept sliding around the ring. This C-clip do not have any holes for me to use any kind of "ring" removing tool like those you use to remove or insert piston ring and so on.





Someone told me to use a slide hammer and put it at the "wheel side" of the shaft, and then "slide" hammer it out (away from the shaft/wheel end).





I am afraid this might destroy the C-clip and render it unusable.





There is some concave surface at the end of the axle shaft where the C-clip is located.


If the shaft is hammered outwards, this curve surface would let the c-clip slowly slide over the axle shaft's groove where the clip sits .





When you reply, please be specific and clear. I cannot understand shorthand or "obscure mechanical jargon Thanks

Removing C-clip on passenger side rear Axle shaft for 94 ford E-150?
the link to the other question is exactly what you need to do. in the rear end itself, you will see a large pin in between the two ends of the axles. that has an 8 mm bolt head holding it in. Remove that bolt and slide that pin out.


Then you can push in the axle far enough that that c lip will fall off. I use a magnet pickup to pull it off. then slide the axle on out! Be very careful when pulling axle out, there is a gear around the axle end and it will try to fall out. Pay attention to how it sits with its washer so when reinstalling you know how to set it back in.
Reply:You have to remove the pinion shaft from the gears in the rear-end before the clip comes out. It is the shaft that holds the two little gears that are parallel to the axles. There is a bolt that holds it in, you must remove it to remove the shaft.


Once the shaft is out, just push the axle toward the center of the truck, and the clip will pull out.
