On a balance sheet, where would the following entry be made? "Capital Stock, $1 par, 10,000 shares issued and outstanding." Is this an asset or liability and how is it handled? Thanx.

I have recently switched to DSL and need to cancel my dial-up service (MSN). I've researched and researched, but I can't find a definitive answer to this question: When I cancel my dial-up service, what happens to my email account (msn.com address)? Will I still be able to access my old email account via Hotmail? How to proceed? Recommendations?

My son is returning from Japan and needs info regarding international shipping. Any help would be appreciated. He has about three cubic meters of "stuff".

Anyone a Dish TV network customer? If so, can you tell me how many days does the basic Dish Network receiver guide display? I used to have a high end Hughes receiver with a 15+ day guide, but it burnt out recently, or got zapped in a power failure, and since DirecTV only uses their own brand recivers now, I ended up replacing my box with one of DirecTVs basic recievers, and quite frankly, it's been a big step down. The screen only shows 1.5 hrs on the screen at a time, and only shows 2 days worth of guide....

I recently tried green tea for the first time and immediately became addicted to it. I must be drinking 10 cups a day and would probably drink more if I didn't care about sleeping at night. Being new to green tea I know little of the different types, quality, preparation, etc.. and was hoping some knowledgeable Freepers could point me in the right direction by recommending some of the better teas and/or links to any good web resources. Currently I've only tried two- both bought in regular Supermarkets so I'm guessing they are not higher quality teas. One of the...

I'm a military retiree and have been following what's happening in our country very closely ever since The Annointed One has been in office. Everyday it seems that both the Democrats and Republicans shred a little bit more of the Constitution, the document I've sworn to protect and defend. I've made the difficult choice that if the Health Care bill is enacted into law and if any portion of it requires that a private citizen is required to have health care insurance or if it essentially starts to force private insurance companies out of the market, I want to sue...

Ok. I bought an end table at a garage sale the other day for a couple bucks. It needs some TLC, and but I figured I could use it as is now and do some minor touch-up at some later date. Just out of curiosity, I took my penknife and scraped of some of the old finish.... man oh man is this thing beautiful! Either cherry wood itself or some kind of eastern hardwood cherry stained, there are no deep gouges in it, nothing wrong at all except the old shellac (which comes off in big flakes at times!). But!...

Help, this is my first vanity...a desperate plea for assistance with the FR search-engine. I need help finding a NYTimes article that was posted on FR around 2001. It was about the response on FR to Carl "Cass" Sunstein's comments on news-sites such as FR in his book republic.com in which he allegedly proposed that the government should regulate sites like FR. Back in the early 2000s, such far-left meglomaniacs seemed condemned to the ivory tower, but now they're being put into positions of power by the 0 administration. My comments I posted on FR were partially quoted in the...

Let me keep this brief,I want to volunteer for Rat town halls in my area but the sign up page requires a phone number.How do I get a cheap cell# with a minimum of ties.I do have an old Motorola Tracfone but its years old and hasn`t been used for some time.Ideas people?

I currently do not get any television at all. I live too far away to get any decent reception. There is only one tv channel I would like to get, and that is Fox News. Does anyone know what is the cheapest way I can receive this channel? I do not want to pay for a package deal from cable or satellite, if I do not have too. I know Dish Network has the 'family channel' package, which includes FoxNews for around $20/month, but I am looking for something cheaper, if it out there? Are there any places online I...

Have any of you Freepers done that? How might one go about it? thanx

Hey Freepers, I need your help if any of you web experts have the time. I want to build a website. I have: --a macbook pro, purchased from the libs at Apple 2 years ago. --a godaddy.com domain name registered, as well as their free hosting --new version of iWeb --a tentatively built iWeb site I want to: --update my site often and use it as a blog --allow comments if possible I wonder: --should I get a different web host? Every one I've looked into seems to have several comments disparaging it for being a rip off/ scam etc....

My sister, who has lived outside of the US for almost 15 years, is moving back to the Norfolk, VA area in 2 weeks. She tells me that the real estate agents she has contacted have told her that she can't get a decent house for less than $350,000 (one she looked at online was $378k) and the houses in her price range are tiny, basically starter homes. Is this true for that area? Personally I find that hard to believe in this market. She is looking to live in Norfolk (her husband will be working there), Chesapeake, VA Beach,...

Howdy all, I'm a long-time lurker, occasional poster here on FR. I’ve always enjoyed the good articles, lively debate and excellent resources for conservatives here, so I’m taking the liberty of bringing a slight “issue” to y’all to see what you think. Recently (around the start of summer, about two months ago) my younger sister (aged 22) started talking about a young man she’d met in one of her Communications classes. She said he was very nice, handsome, smart, and it was obvious that she was starting to take an interest in him. About a month ago, they went out...

Can someone tell me where html help for Free Republic is located and the general help for posting? I located the html once, but I can't now. I wanted to learn a couple of functions like how to, in a long thread, view just two of the poster's past comments, or three. So I could quickly read the arguement between two or three posters without having to run thru the whole thread.

Beginning 5 or 10 minutes ago, I began having trouble connecting with a lot of websites. Yahoo, Google are a couple of the major ones. Anyone else?

WASHINGTON, July 22, 2009 – A wounded airman and his wife plan to use the lessons they’ve learned about marriage and friendship through military service and adversity to help servicemembers who might be struggling after deployment or injury.

<p>One of the most outrageous mandates in the Democratic health care bill is found on page 416. On this page, you will see mandatory “end of life” counseling for seniors every five years. With this counseling, they will be spoken to about the different end of life choices that can be undertaken.</p>

Notes: The following text is a quote: THE BRIEFING ROOM THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary ________________________________________________________________________ For Immediate Release July 15, 2009 Statement by the President on the Health Care Reform Legislation Passed Today by the Senate HELP Committee "Today, thanks to the unyielding passion and inspiration provided by Senator Edward Kennedy, the HELP committee he chairs has produced a proposal that will finally lower health care costs, provide better care for patients, and ensure fair treatment of consumers by the insurance industry.

What is the downside of her publishing pictures of herself with little clothing on a social networking site. Even if it is just friends, or even friends of friends...how far could these pictures go?
