The themes good and evil, heaven and hell, and Christain and pagan are apparent in some fashion throughout the poem.  Grendel, his mother, and the dragon are kennings of evil; whereas Beowulf is a kenning of good. These two good and evil forces oppose and try to eliminate each other.  Eventually, the good force always wins. However, the cycle of good and evil never ends. Once the greater power of the hero had been established, once the conflict’s resolution strengthened society’s power, than a greater evil developed out of the more powerful society. However what these two forces have in common is that hey all share the same dreams – conquer their opponent. Just like a living creature, the dream is born, grows, and it dies. In the end, it is not the attainment or the accomplishment that matters. It is the hope that the two opposing forces drive to attain the dream, is what more important. The author tries to give the readers hope. \n-If doesnt fit here, please email Falennixonx@yahoo.com

The themes good vs. evil, heaven vs. hell, and Christian vs. Pagan, are apparent throughout the poem. For example, Grendel, his mother, and the dragon are kennings of evil; whereas Beowulf is a kenning of good. No matter how many times good and evil forces oppose and try to eliminate each other, the good force always wins. However, the cycle of good and evil never ends. Once the greater power of the hero had been established, and the conflict’s resolution has strengthened society’s power, than a greater evil develops out of the more powerful society. Inevitably, what these two forces have in common is that they share a common dream– conquer their opponent. Just like a living creature, the dream is born, grows, and dies. In the end, it is not the attainment of the dream that matters, but rather the hope held by the reader, that is born from opposition.


What's the use of relying to our government if most politicians are headache and a corrupt pack? If they are visionless with regards to the welfare of the people? Prolonging the latter's agony while enriching themselves! Are they just creating the problems that can solve themselves?

Politicians have learned that the way they get re-elected is to give the people what they want; for the most part, that is bread and circuses.  The only way to make it out of that trap is to (a) realize that you won't ever get something for nothing, (b) understand what the tradeoffs are in any given policy decision, and (c) make your voice known loudly and clearly to your elected representative when you have an opinion.\n\nNow, does this mean start calling your congressman to demand higher pay for fewer hours?  NO!  That's an uninformed, knee-jerk response.  First, understand that the only way employers can provide those benefits are to raise their prices - and then where does your higher pay go?  Maybe after you think about exactly what you are giving up in exchange for your higher pay, you still think it's a good idea.  Then, call your congressman, and make sure he knows you think higher prices are a reasonable tradeoff for higher pay.  That's an intelligent, informed, decision.


TRY TO ANSWER IT !!! EX-SPECIALY FOR CHRISTIAN ..

goodness, you are confused. Let's put religion out of the picture for just a second, okay. It is simple, you either believe Jesus died on the cross for you and God created you or you don't. You can say that only christians will enter into heaven but i believe no matter what religion you call yourself, if you believe in God and have accepted God as your savior then you can call yourself whatever you want and you will still go to heaven. People choose to worship God in many ways. But the key to the door is Have you confessed that you are a sinner? Do you believe Jesus died on the cross for you? Do you want to spent eternity in heaven or hell? I'd be too scared not to believe and to not be saved. What if all us "crazy" christians are right? What if we are wrong? Which is worse? right or wrong? heaven or hell, HUM.... lets see, I'll go with heaven and believing in God.

TV ads want us to contact our State Legislators about SB 245 and they warn us about the evils that may befall us. What's the real truth? For years only one cable company has been allowed to provide service within specified areas... a legalized monopoly, will this open the door to competition?

well, here is the text of the bill.  good luck with that:\nhttp://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2006/PDF/SB/SB0245.1.pdf\n\nas for "in laymans terms", you have to be very wary of who is translating it into layman's terms.  different people will put entirely different spins on "what the effect will be" and i tend to not trust others' interpretations because you are at the mercy of their ethics in presenting an unbiased interpretation.\n\nhowever, having read the summary statement at the beginning of the bill, i suspect that the bone of contention is the line where it mentions "Specifies that "basic telecommunications service" does not include functionally equivalent service provided by a person that transmits communication through Internet Protocol enabled services."\n\npresumably this is an issue because cable companies are moving towards digital services and integrating cable and video distribution with internet traffic.  they will have to do this to keep up with the trends in TV viewership and the market - but i think that before this bill, since they were cable providers, they were immune from competition.\n\nstate utility monopolies are there because it would be a waste to have eight sets power lines, phone lines and water pipes running to each house for every different power, phone or water company that might exist.  however internet traffic works differently - because digital information is switched and routed by computers, it can come from anywhere and be transmitted down the same pipe - there's no need for a regulated monopoly when it comes to digital content.\n\ncable companies have been on the sweet end of this lollipop for a long time, because their technology required a monopoly for the same reason that water companies' technology did.  however, when they move to a digital/internet type of distribution system, that monopoly is no longer reasonable (to me) and the door to competition should be thrown open.\n\nso, it sounds like this bill is essentially declassifying digital cable as a "basic telecom service" which means that you'll be able to choose from multiple providers.\n\nsounds good to me!  of course, this is all based on a cursory reading of this bill.  i am by no means a specialist on indiana's telecom regulatory structure, or even a lawyer, so take my interpretation with a grain of salt.

I have this friend. we've shared this deeps spirituatal connection, one is which i was able to sense how he felt at a particular place in time. now i've never had this type of connection with another person like that. I think he wants to get back into a relationship with his ex but he's also scared that he may lose something good meaning me. I wanted to know any suggestions. b/c i care alot about him and he cares about me and this spiritual connection was new to us both. should i just let him go on his way to try mend the relationship with his ex or what? Is there anything i can do?

I think you should try to explain to him that exes are exes for a reason and belong in the past.

This sounds like a scam, sorry.  I think you've been duped.  First link is to the bank-job scam on SNOPES; second is to the Nigerian con, cuz it's so prevalent.  Could be a spin on these that you're in, I'm thinking.

I am from the United States of America and this country has provided me with the freedom to choose, and the opportunity to become anything I am determined enough to pursue. I only wish I could serve my country better. God bless America!

It is given more than I've taken.  You couldn't believe the sense of pride, accomplishment and experience you get in the military.  Use the opportuninty to do what you think you need to do and don't look back.  ANY contribution is serving this country well. God Bless America!


First and foremost, you have to really want to quit for good; and you have to actually quit—not just cut back.  Set a date a couple of weeks in advance and mentally prepare yourself for it. \n\nMake a list of reasons why you want to stop smoking and keep it with you.\n\nIt helps to realize that most cravings last for less than four minutes.  If you can fight through the first few days, then the first few weeks (using toothpicks, peppermints, etc), you'll begin to notice days and even whole weeks without a craving.\n\nI would advise AGAINST the patch and the gum.  The long term success rate of those is extremely low.\n\nI've found Wellbutrin (Zyban is the same thing) to be the most effective craving control method.  After 6-12 weeks on that, I didn't need it anymore.\n\n16 months smoke free.\n\n//

Im 20 years old, been relaxing, sittin on my butt. I need and am going to college. However, I dont want to waste my time going for the wrong job market. I want a career that is high paying. I have no idea what that is. People say do something you love, If im making good money, trust me I'll love it!\nI just need something to go for. What? Give me some ideas? Thanks to everyone who helps me with this question

The highest paying job will be the one you are willing to invest a lot of time into, to become one of the best at it. Every job market has a bottom and a top. \n\nReally the only other option is to luck into cash via inheritance or someone helping you along. Since your are here I guess that's not a option for you. \n\nSince you are just materialistic you should pick out a job market that has the most opportunity for someone who only cares about money.  You could be a bottom feeder such as a Ambulance chaser form of Lawyers.  Or a salesman who calls up the elderly to sell them timeshares or burial insurance.


want to know what these ladies have done


If you're a photographer, cosider waiting for Adobe's new development, called Lightroom. It is organisation and VERY PRO editing all-in-one, specifically for photographs (i.e. not for graphic designers, illustrators or web designers). There is Apple's alternative (only for Macs and 'Books) called Aperture.\n\nOnes listed above are great if you're a beginner. Then again, you just can't beat Photoshop (but avoid CS) - CS2 is much better, or 7.0.

i need stuf that doesnt sound classic but something that reflexts what the planet is like.like if it is mostly covered in water , the name might have to do something with water.Or u can juz make up some kool sounding word that could be from the native tounge of that planet, or named after the discoveror of the planet. i have this 1 that is mostly blue, but i cant find a name. also i got 1 that is pretty much filled with bridges that is nameless along with all its moons. thank u for your suggestions.

Cerulean is a good name for the blue planet. It means "sky-blue".\n\nNot sure about the bridges one or the moons. You should think about what the bridges are crossing over, maybe that would help. A bridge normally spans something so perhaps Spansive or something.


its very hard to stop, especially when u have been doing so for years, so what are some things you can do to help yourself stop, and resist the urges?

Some people find that dealing with physical pain is easier than dealing with emotional pain.\n\nMost people who self-injure tend to be perfectionists, are unable to handle intense feelings, are unable to express their emotions verbally, have dislike for themselves and their bodies, and can experience severe mood swings.\n\nSelf-injury can help someone relieve intense feelings such as anger, sadness, loneliness, shame, guilt and emotional pain. Many people who cut themselves, do this in an attempt to try and release all the emotions they are feeling internally. Others may feel so numb, that seeing their own blood when they cut themselves, helps them to feel alive because they usually feel so dead inside. \n\n\nIf you feel the urge to injure yourself, below is a list of suggestions that might help you to overcome that urge.  Please be advised that not all of these suggestions will be helpful to everyone.  What is helpful to one person, may not be helpful to someone else.  These suggestions have been provided by individuals who self injured and what they found helpful to them.  If you feel that a certain suggestion may in fact cause you to want to self injure even more, do NOT use that suggestion.  Find ones that are helpful for you.  Again, these are only suggestions and may not be helpful to everyone. \n\n\n1.deep breathing \n\n2.relaxation techniques \n\n3.call a friend, your therapist or a crisis line \ntry not be be alone (visit a friend, go shopping, etc.) \n\n4.take a hot bath \n\n5.listen to music\n \n6.go for a walk \n\n7.write in a journal\n \n8.wear an elastic around wrist and snap it when you have the urge to harm yourself \n\n9.some people find it helpful to draw red lines on themselves with washable markers instead of cutting themselves \n\n10.hold ice cubes in your hands - the cold causes pain in your hands, but it is not dangerous or harmful (some people find it relieves the urge to harm themselves for that moment)\n \n11.punching a bed or a pillow (when nothing but a physical outlet for your anger and frustration will work). \n\n12.scratch draw a picture on a thick piece of wood or use a screw driver and stab at the piece of wood. (can be another physical way to release your emotions without harming yourself.)\n \n13.avoid temptation (i.e. avoiding the area in CVS where the razor blades are kept, etc.) \n\n14.try to find your own creative ways as outlets for emotions. \n\n15.learn to confront others/making your own feelings known instead of keeping them inside \ngo outside and scream and yell \n\n16.take up a sport (a form of exercise can help you release tension, etc.)\n \n17.work with paint, clay, play-doo, etc. (the person who suggested this mentioned that they would make a big sculpture and do whatever they wanted to it.  They said it was helpful to calm the urge to self-injure, plus it gave them some idea of what might be underlying the pain. \n\n18.draw a picture of what or who is making you angry \ninstead of harming yourself, try massaging the area you want to harm with massage oils or creams, reminding yourself that you are special and you deserve to treat yourself and your body with love and respect \n\n19.go to church or your place of worship \nwear a pipe cleaner or something that will fit on the places that you injure.  One person did this as a way to remind herself that she could call someone instead of hurting herself and that she had other ways to cope. \n\n20.break the object that you use to self-injure as a way to show that you have control over it.\n \n21.write a letter to the person(s) that have hurt you and express how they made you feel.   Theses letters do not have to be in perfect form and you do not have to please anyone but yourself.  You do not have to give these letters to the people, but it is a great way to release the feelings that you are carrying within.  After you write the letters, you can decide then what to do with them.  Some people find destroying the letters help (i.e. tear


winter,spring,fall summer  well you get the point!

Autumn, because of the richness of the colors. I love the oranges, reds, yellows, and browns of the leaves turning...the crunch of leaves on the grass...preparing for the holidays...the cooler weather. I'm a "cold weather lover", for sure. The autumn air is fresher, the skies are bluer, and it has good memories for me.


i am definitely not lazy when it comes to work but when i am at home i always feel so tired.is there someting wrong with me?

Tiredness can be for physical and emotional reasons.\n\nCommon physical reasons:\n1. Eating something that your body doesn't like or failing to eat what your body needs.  \nSuggestion:  write down everything you eat for a week and at what time you eat it.  Also write down when you feel tired.  See if there's a pattern.  I.e., too many carbs, after eating sugar, are you getting protein and fresh vegetables in your diet?\n\n2. Not enough sleep or poor sleep.  \nSuggestion:  go to bed earlier, don't use the computer for a couple of hours before going to bed, don't eat late meals (digesting while you sleep disturbs your sleep).\n\n3. Something is out of whack with your body.  \nSuggestion: go see a Western doctor and also a naturopath or a doctor of traditional chinese medicine.  The Western doctor will run the tests to rule out any major illnesses.  The other practitioners are well suited for treating systemic illnesses and imbalances that Western medicine doesn't know what to do with other than label them.\n\n4.  Work is exhausting you or perhaps you are doing other excessive physical activities.  \nSuggestion:  Learn how to say no and to recognize when your body needs a rest.  Then, rest.\n\n5. Not enough exercise.  Exercise helps your blood and lymph system circulate.  Without it, your body will start to feel sluggish.\nSuggestion:  While you may feel too tired to move, exercise will actually make you feel better.  Start off slowly (i.e., a brisk walk, taking the stairs instead of the elevator) and move up to doing some aerobic activity.  Whatever gets your blood pumping will help.  A warning: only do more intensive exercise if you are physically well enough to do it.  \n\nCommon emotional reasons:\n1. No joy in your life.  If you are not excited or inspired by what you do, life will feel draining.  \nSuggestion:  Remember what you liked to do when you were a kid.  I.e., fingerpaint, play sports.  Engage in similar activities (i.e., take a painting course, join a team, try something new)\n\n2. Emotionally drained from too many things that have happened in your life recently (i.e., death in the family, big changes such as moving).  \nSuggestion:  Nurture yourself.  Do things that make you feel good.  Treat yourself as you would a good friend.  Don't overlook your own needs and stop pushing yourself.  \n\n3.  Setting your needs aside for other people or trying to be perfect by "doing it all".  \nSuggestion:  Stop!  It's ME time now.  Listen to your inner voice.  Next time you feel like you don't really want to do something, say 'no', but say it in a nice way.  Let your standards slide.  It's ok if the bathroom isn't spotless.  It's ok to not be perfect.  Don't judge yourself so harshly.\n\n4.  Fighting against the flow of life and trying to control your life, your circumstances and/or the people around you.\nSuggestion:  Let go.  Notice how much energy you expend trying to make things go a certain way.  Start with small things and see what happens if you don't try to control the outcome.  You may be surprised to see that things may actually turn out better.  Notice how much effort and energy you expend.  Move on to letting go of control for bigger things.  If you're arguing with other people, let go of trying to "prove" your right.  It doesn't matter.\n\nHope some of these suggestions help and you feel energized soon.


"LET'S GET TOGETHER SOON" or "LET'S MEET US SOON"\nDo you really mean it? What is the REAL message?\n(A curious asker from Mexico)

When people use these common expressions, it's hard to tell if they really mean it. \nI'd say it sounds more like "Nos vemos" than "Quiero verte".\nUnless it's accompanied by an actual proposal (time and place).


Muhammad (ca. 570–632 CE) (Arabic محمد) also transliterated Mohammad, Mohammed, Muhammed, and sometimes Mahomet (Latin Mahometus), following the Latin or Turkish), is believed by mainstream Muslims to be God's final prophet sent to guide mankind with the message of Islam. He is referred to as "The Prophet" (in Arabic النبي) within the faith. Non-Muslims generally consider him to be the founder of Islam.\n\nAccording to traditional Muslim biographers, he was born ca. 570 in Mecca (Makkah) and passed away June 8, 632 in Medina (Madinah). Both Mecca and Medina are cities in the Hejaz region of present day Saudi Arabia. The name Muhammad means "the praised one" in Arabic.\n\nBorn Muhammad ibn Abdullah, he is said to have been a merchant who traveled widely. Muslims believe that in 610, at about the age of forty, while praying in a cave called Hira near Mecca, he was visited by the Angel Gabriel. Later, he described the experience (to those close to him), and that the angel had commanded him to memorize and recite the verses sent by God which were later collected as part of the Qur'an. Gabriel told him that God (Allah in Arabic) had chosen him as the last of the prophets to mankind. He eventually expanded his mission as a prophet, publicly preaching a strict monotheism and warning against a Day of Judgement where all humans shall be held responsible for their deeds. He did not completely reject Judaism and Christianity, two other monotheistic faiths known to the Arabs; rather he said that he had been sent by God in order to complete and perfect their teachings. Many of his neighbors resented his preaching, and persecuted Muhammad and his followers. In 622, he was forced to flee from Mecca and settled in Yathrib (now known as Medina) with his followers, where he was the leader of the first avowedly Muslim community. War between factions in Mecca and Medina followed, in which Muhammad and his followers were eventually victorious. The military organization honed in this struggle was then set to conquering the other tribes of Arabia. By the time of Muhammad's death, he had unified Arabia, spread Islam throughout the Arab Peninsula, and launched expeditions to the north, towards Syria and Palestine.\n\nUnder Muhammad's immediate successors, the Islamic empire expanded into Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia, Persia, Egypt, North Africa, and Iberia. Later conquests, commercial contact between Muslims and non-Muslims, and missionary activity spread Islam over much of the globe.\n\nThe sources available about Muhammad's life are the Qur'an, the sira biographies, and the hadith collections. While the Qur'an is not a biography of Muhammad, it does provide some information about his life. The earliest surviving biographies are the Life of the Apostle of God, by Ibn Ishaq (d. 768), edited by Ibn Hisham (d. 833); and al-Waqidi's (d. 822) biography of Muhammad. Ibn Ishaq wrote his biography some 120 to 130 years after Muhammad's death. The third source, the hadith collections, like the Qur'an, are not a biography per se. In both the Sunni and Shia belief, they are the accounts of the verbal and physical traditions of Muhammad.\n\nSome skeptical scholars (Wansbrough, Cook, Crone, and others) have raised doubts about the reliability of these sources, especially the hadith collections. They argue that by the time the oral traditions were being collected, the Muslim community had fractured into rival sects and schools of thought. Each sect and school had its own sometimes conflicting traditions of what Muhammad and his companions had done and said. Traditions multiplied, and Muslim scholars made a strenuous effort to weed out what they felt were spurious stories. Traditionalists rely on their efforts while the skeptics feel that the question must be revisited.\n\nMuslim and non-Muslim scholars alike agree that there are some inauthentic traditions concerning the life of Muhammad in th

It's for my final thesis in my University...

There once was a time in American history when the thought of women working for complex, multi-national technology companies, giant advertising firms, and massive publishing houses was snickered at behind closed boardroom doors.\n\nToday, women are running those companies—from some of those very same boardrooms.\n\nBut although women make up almost half of America's labor force, still only two Fortune 500 companies have women CEOs or presidents, and 90 of those 500 companies don't have any women corporate officers.\n\nCatalyst, the not-for-profit New York-based women's research organization, points out, however, that its data shows a change over the last five years. A recent survey revealed that 10% of the Fortune 500 companies have women holding at least one-quarter of their corporate officer positions. This percentage rose from only 5% in 1995.\n\nFor the few women who have reached the highest ranks, they'd prefer not to talk about their gender. To them it's no longer an issue. Their accomplishments represent significant milestones—not just for women in business—but for women all over the world making career choices.\n\nHere's a closer look at some of the most important women in business.\n\nCatherine Elizabeth "Cathy" Hughes \nRadio Personality, Executive \nBorn Catherine Elizabeth Woods, she attended Creighton University and the University of Nebraska at Omaha but did not graduate. Around 1969 she began working at KOWH, a black radio station in Omaha, handling various jobs, and becoming well known.\n\nHer success prompted the School of Communications at Howard University in Washington, DC, to offer her a job as lecturer. In 1973 she became sales director at WHUR-FM. Two years later she became the station's general manager, boosting sales revenue to $3.5 million from $300,000.\n\nIn 1979, she and her husband, Dewey Hughes, purchased a small Washington radio station, WOL, creating Radio One. Her marriage eventually ended, and she bought her husband's share in the station. But Hughes was forced to give up her apartment and live at the station for a time in order to make ends meet.\n\nOver time, she made the station profitable, and her own talk show became a hit. By purchasing stations in other cities, the company eventually became the nation's largest black-owned radio chain. She is the first African American woman to head a firm publicly traded on a stock exchange in the United States. She has been married twice and has one son.\n\nMuriel "Mickey" Siebert \nStockbroker \nSiebert attended Western Reserve University (now known as Case Western) but dropped out after two years when her father got cancer. In 1954 she arrived in New York City with $500 to search for a job. She was hired as a trainee research analyst at the Wall Street. firm Bache & Co. She later worked as an analyst at a number of firms.\n\nIn 1967 she became the first woman to purchase a seat on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). For ten years she was the only female among the 1,366 members. In 1969 she became the first woman to own and operate a brokerage firm that belonged to the NYSE, Muriel Siebert & Co, now Siebert Financial Corp.\n\nIn 1975 when the U.S. government abolished fixed commissions for stockbrokers, Siebert turned her company into a discount brokerage firm. In 1977 she was named New York State banking superintendent. She stepped down in 1982 to run for the senate but lost the Republican primary.\n\nSince then Siebert has run her company and been involved with charitable work. She is often called "The First Woman of Finance." In 2002 her autobiography, Changing the Rules—Adventures of a Wall Street Maverick, was published.\n\nMary Kay Ash \nBusiness Executive \nFounder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, one of the largest beauty products firms in the United States, Ash sold a child psychology book door to door in the late 1930s and then was a sales representative and manager at the Sta

The Center of Disease Control should have the information you're looking for.


its  a  class  report and  i  really  neeed  help

*sigh* Ok I need an hour to address this one. \n\nThere are so many factors to consider. School environment of course is a huge factor in a child's education and success. I agree that teacher's have a huge responsibility in making sure the students not only learn the skills but also the processes of learning. But just as a doctor's responsibility is to diagnose and prescribe the best cure, a teacher must diagnose a child's learning style and adjust their teaching style to accomodate those of the students. If a doctor has tried several prescriptions and the patient's body is not responding, do we blame the doctor? Therefore, why do we jump to blaming the teacher after he or she have tried several methods of teaching the material to the student? Do we blame the lawyer for not getting the serial murderer off the hook despite the evidence? Definitely not. \n\nDo we blame the policeman when crime is still on the streets? Hmmmm.......seems like we do. Do we blame the butcher for selling us tough meat when we overcook our steaks? Hmmmmm.......yes again. Do we blame the President of the United States when all domestic issues just don't seem to go according to plan? Yep......we surely do. So why is this? Could it be that society has gotten to a point where we refuse to accept our responsibilities? Are we spending more times placing blame on others instead of finding ways to make improvements starting right in our own households?\n\nTeachers, as all other professions, carry a heavy burden. But parents need to realize that the way their child learns is greatly influenced by the standards they set very early in life. If children know they are responsible for their behavior.....they behave. When children know they are held responsible for their learning......they become a student in every sense of the word. Teachers can teach and teach and teach and spoon feed and coddle and still a child that is not motivated to succeed will make no progress. \n\nIs it the fault of teachers that students don't always score high on tests? All cases are different........but indeed if we put our faith in the firemen, policemen, doctors, lawyers and politicians of the community.......we should surely lay our faith with the educators of today. \n\nLet education start at home.


I got my hair cut short and I like it!What about you?

It would depend on your face and body type.


Does anyone know where I can find the choreography for the Disney channels original movie " High School Musical" so I can learn the dance steps???

I believe the Disney website has the words to the songs available, but not the choreography.  I would suggest that you tape or Tivo the movie next time it's on and watch the steps a few hundred times.  If you dance, you'll get it.  My daughter Tivo'd it and she was doing some of the cafeteria dance yesterday (Sunday).


its a rock...or alternative song about a son going to war


apart from the obvisious how do u know he is attracted to u


I'm not sure because in a chemical change a new substance is formed and in a physical change no new substance is formed and you could hypothetically get the substance back into its original state.  I think it's probably a chemical change but I wanted to know what other people thought.

An alloy is a combination, either in solution or compound, of two or more elements, which has a combination of at least one metal, and where the resultant material has metallic properties. The result is a metallic substance with properties different from those of its components.\n\nIn chemistry, a physical change is when a substance undergoes some form of change that does not change the substance at the molecular level (i.e. a chemical change). Physical changes do not create new substances, as in a chemical change, but result in the same substance in a different form or shape. A physical change in which a substance changes states between solid, liquid and gas is called a phase change. When water is frozen into ice it undergoes a phase change, and thus a physical change, as it is still water but in a different form. Under normal conditions physical changes can generally be considered reversible, however this does not always hold true.\n\nA chemical change is a process in which reactants are changed into one or more different products. A chemical change occurs whenever new compounds are formed or existing compounds decomposed. During this reaction, chemical bonds between atoms are broken and new chemical bonds formed. This results in a rearrangement of the chemical bonds.\n\nCONCLUSION/ ANSWER to you question!\nThus, brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, will still have individual copper and zince molecules, there is no change at the molecular level. No new compound has been formed. \nSo alloy undergoes PHYSICAL CHANGE!


I would suggest that you try a free trial game first to see how you do, after all wouldn't it be better to lose money on a program (or on paper) than in real life? Also, you can learn that way. Here is one: http://compsimgames.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=compsimgames&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwtc.wallstreet-challenge.com%2F\n\nI do know that you want to shop around to see how much each transaction will cost. That's about the extent of my knowledge...hopefully someone will come along to give you more advice.


He says that it feels like his throat closes off and the food is trying to go down his windpipe and choke him. Then he starts gagging and throws up. He can't eat anything solid most of the time anymore. It appears to be getting worse. He won't go to the Doctor. He is 67 years old. Does anyone know what it could be ?

This kind of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) can be indicative of a lot of problems. It may be a neurological issue, a psychological problem, or physiological condition in his throat. He really needs to go see a doctor before he becomes malnuorished (sp?) and becomes sicker. It's probably treatable, assuming he is healthy now.


my elder friend cant sit well because the boil (1) is situated on the cheek area. is it because he sits for many hours? the boil is painful..

I would suggest seeing a doctor. I myself have had them before and was told that sometimes its genetics. You might want to make sure its not something serious, and yes they are painful, if you go to the dr they will drain the boil - NOW THAT HURTS. Warm baths will help them go away. I am a very clean person so I doubt my boil had anything to do with being dirty, but you might want to switch soaps or change detergents - and if you sweat a lot use powder.


I THINK THAT I'M IN LOVE BUT I'M NOT REALLY SURE IF I JUST LIKE THE PERSON LIKE A WHOLE WHOLE LOT!!! I MEAN I CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THIS PERSON ITS CRAZY!!! I WOULD GIVE HIM THE WORLD IF I COULD!!

when nothing else matters...his imperfections..his moods...what people say about him...when nothing at all is enough to make you forget him..YOU ARE IN LOVE.


i cant find the add or the maker of the commercial

It's by Mitsubitshi for their raider, the truck "peeing" is the nissan frontier. Howerver the Frontier is a better truck then the raider. the raider doesn't even come close.


My friend was never happy until she had a boyfriend, she was always extremely desperate to find a new man and then she got one but he dumped her and now she's sad again. I tried to explain to her that she can't be dependant on other people to be happy she has to be happy being alone, but she isn't listening to me or understanding me, how do I convince her?

I used to be like that and all of my friends tried to help me but it was something that I had to learn on my own.  I went through a hard break-up and then I didn't even think about guys for around 6 months.  Now I have a new man and I'm happy but I realize that I could make it on my own and be happy w/out a man.  My situation may be different that your friend's though.


I have have to sign a Purchase Agreement for my LLC.

If you are the member of your L.L.C. then you can sign as an owner.  The laws do change in different states, so you would want to go to your state website and look at the laws for L.L.C. or you can call the state office.


Does anyone know anything about parasites in humans and how to tell if you have one?  Weird question I know.

There are a couple that I know of, and they are foodborne. The first woudl be Trichinomas. It comes from eating undercooked pork. It's symptoms are swelling around the eyes, muscle pain, and fever. Another would be a tapeworm. Its biggest symptom is rapid weight loss. Another is a parasite you can get from certain fish. It's really gross. It attaches to your esophogus and lays its eggs there. The host usually learns about it by coughing up the eggs. Nasty!


I have always wanted to get a masters degree.  However I cant afford it. :(  thoughts,Ideas, suggestions ?

Go to work for a local university.  Tuition benefits are a common benefit at schools.  I got my Master's for free this way (though admittedly the pay wasn't great, so I guess the tradeoff was in making a crappy salary for a couple of years).


I am looking for a new desktop. Intel has a dual core and AMD also has one which is better.

Right now, AMD makes the best processors in my opinion. This doesn't mean that all AMD processors are better than Intel processors, however, just that the top of the line AMDs are the best you can get in my opinion. You are on the right track getting dual core. Don't look at clock speeds if you are comparing Intel to AMD, as they rate them differently and AMDs report slower clock speeds even though the chip may be faster. If you really want to get down to it, checck the benchmarks that http://www.tomshardware.com have. They will help to show which processors are faster at which tasks.\n\nIf my answer was helpful, don't forget to consider rating it as the best. Thanks!


If Joseph was Mary's husband, Jesus is his son. Then why is he called Son of God, when God is one and he doesn't have any partners?


I need to email a bunch of pictures to friends and family.


It should be listed on the invoice somewhere.  And if you don't have an AMD processor, it's not 64bit.  Open the Control Panel and then open System.  Towards the bottom it should be listed there.


i just wanted a $500 gift card to Abercrombie & Fitch and all these pop ups offering other things poped up.  in order to get the card i had to keep signing up for different offers, and i never officially finished signing up for the gift card becuz i got the run around.  was that a dumb move? what's going to happen to all of my information i gave away?

You have to do a lot to get the $500 gift card.  If you read the small print you will see that in order to get the $500 -- "Eligibility requirements include signing up for at least 2 Silver, 2 Gold and 2 Platinum offers." Whatever all of these are!


i want to do a stamition between the earth and  march.


do you think they can both be unconditional and lasting...or is erotic love just desire? Is it possible have both..hummm....What do ya think....Lisa

Love and lust are two very different things Lisa but both can be unconditional and lasting. Both are based on understanding and sharing common needs and life objectives. If you have two people whos objective is LOVE then there is a chance of it being unconditional and lasting. If you have two people whos objective is SEX then there is a chance of it being unconditional and lasting. If one persons objective is LOVE and the other's SEX the relationship is doomed.\n\nNothing wrong with either. As long as the relationship is clearly defined, undertood, and fullfilling both can be long term.\n\nRascal

It is for my Biology Review Homework. Can you please help me with this question? Thank You.

The process by which immature eggs in the ovary mature is called oogenesis. This process consists of two phases of meiosis. During each of these phases a polar body is produced. In the case of humans, they are not important to reproduction. In some species they do play a role in the maturation of the egg. IFor each oocyte produices three polar bodies are created that later disintegrate.


it was working until we had verizon.net installed...now i can't find it in my program selections bar

You can simply go to Start > All Programs.  Cycle through the list of programs to find the software.  If you are unable to find it, go to Start > Search and search the file.  If you are the geeky kinds, you can easily find it under C:\Program Files in My Computer.  If you are unable to locate the software, simply uninstall the software from Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and reinstall it using the sofware installation CD provided with your computer.\n\nI hope that helps.

my mom won't let me get my license until i'm 18!crazy, huh?!!

The reason that parents don't let their kids have licenses, in general, is that they don't want their kids to get hurt.  Kids get hurt, again in general, because they are immature and don't know how to stay out of trouble.  Parents don't want kids to make potentially lethal mistakes.\n\nThe way to change parents' minds, then, is by proving to them just how responsible, mature, and non-reckless you really are.  This takes time, but I'm sure you know what to do.

i recently relocated to tennessee from louisiana due to hurricane katrina. approximately 1 month after moving here i had 5 dreams of someone i knew in louisiana--i had feelings for this person, however, i dont believe the feelings were reciprocal--they were within a 2 week time frame--the last one is the one that has left me wondering--not only why i was having them, but also, did it mean something else--in this one i saw him, knew he would see me and smile, which he did and then he said to me in the dream " i dont have to think about it anymore" upon awakening i felt very sad and empty--did this mean thats it, ill never see this individual again? or is it really not anything at all?

during rem [rapid eye movement] sleep your brains nuerological transmissions are greater then when your awake,simpley put,it was / is an unresolved issue that your brain is trying to remedy!you have also been through a rather stressfull situation,moving quickley,etc.you could either contact him to get closure,or write down how you feel and answer your thoughts to yourself in writing,this may seem weird however this will help your active rem brain find resoulution with this matter! im from tennessee,i hope this helps you!!!

They just hire people with experience how can you work with no experience.

You may want to try with companies that employ world wide or work world wide. There are some transnational companies Ex. General Motors, Coca-Cola (and not only US companies) that operates world wide, once there you may have more chances to move around different countries. Other companies such as airlines, maritime transportation and cruises are other options, also engineering companies (oil and mining and related). These companies always search for new people, professionals and non-professionals. If you don't have experience, look for entry level positions where experience is not required. World class companies usually have programs to develop employees.

Two cyclists separated by 50Km start cycling towards each other.One cycling at 12km/hr and the other at 13km/hr.A bee flies beween the two cyclists starting from one as soon as the cyclists commence their cycling,that is all starting at the same time.As soon as it meets the cyclist from the opposite end it returns and keeps repeating this action until both cyclists meet after which it stops flying.If the bee flies at 20km/hr,what is the distance travelled by the bee.

The combined speed of the two cyclists is 25k/hr\nThey will meet in 2 hours.\nThe bee is flying 20k/hr for 2 hrs so it will fly 40K.

Hey, just bringing this old question up for a vote.


We all know that warm air in home rises to the top floor near the ceiling.  Why?

Because heat is not matter, it isn’t correct to say it rises or falls.  A better way to ask the question is: "Why do hot things (like hot air) rise above cold things (like cold air)?" \nTo answer this question, it is important to understand what heat is. \n\nHeat is energy.  When we say something is hot, we really are saying it has a lot of stored energy. \n\nWhat does this energy do? \n\nMatter is made up of incredibly small pieces called atoms and molecules.  Atoms and molecules are always moving. \n\nThe more energy these atoms and molecules have, the faster they move.  The faster they mover, the more space they take up. \n\nIf something is hot, it weighs the same as if it were cold, but it just takes up more space. \n\nThis leads us to the concept of density.  Because hat air takes up more space than cold air, hot aur has a smaller density. \n\nLess dense hot air will "float" above the more dense cold air. \n\nThe rise of heated air can be observed if it contains smoke, water moisture, or anything else that distinguishes it against the background. One can shape the rising air by placing a physical guide, a fan, etc. on its path. For example, some smokers can make the cigarette fume swirl out of their mouth by using their tong as the exhale (I am\nnot a smoker and do not advocate smoking). Another example is the complex concurrent flow patterns of hot and cold air (i.e., wind) in the atmosphere which give rise to pretty impressive patterns that at time are visible.


I saw these websites that lets u watch or record ne tvshow or movie...... a website like sharedmovies.com but has anybody tried it? i mean is it any good or is it just like any other scams of the internet.?

my messenger was messing up, and I tried to reinstall it and it said that it couldn't find the DLL Component library

Short for Dynamic Link Library, a library of executable functions or data that can be used by a Windows application. Typically, a DLL provides one or more particular functions and a program accesses the functions by creating either a static or dynamic link to the DLL. A static link remains constant during program execution while a dynamic link is created by the program as needed. DLLs can also contain just data.  \n\nDefinition found on microsoft web site.  Below is a great link to search for and download missing DLL's

Everyone always askes whats the highest peak, biggest mountains, tallest buildings.....

"The Mariana Trench (or Marianas Trench) is the deepest known submarine trench, and the deepest location in the Earth's crust itself. It is located in the floor of the western North Pacific Ocean, to the east of the Mariana Islands at 11°21′N 142°12′E, which is near Guam. The trench is the boundary where two tectonic plates meet, a subduction zone where the Pacific Plate is being subducted under the Philippine Plate. The bottom of the trench is further below sea level than Mount Everest is above sea level.\n\nThe trench has a maximum depth of 10,911 m (35,798 feet) below sea level. Taking into account its latitude and the Earth's equatorial bulge, this puts it at 6,366.4 km from the centre of the Earth. The Arctic Ocean, on the other hand, is 4-4.5 km deep, which would put its floor at ~6,352.8 km from the Earth's centre, 13.6 km closer."


I heard about this on National Geographic.

They do not become your minion. The bee colony is centered to the queen bee as it is the only individual in the colony with the capability to breed and renew the colony's numbers. Thus without the queen a colony would soon be wiped out with no new bees born. If you have a queen bee, the entire colony will follow it and make the nest whereever the queen resides. Beekeepers often use this method to keep hives by securing the queen in a hive with outlets only the smaller worker bees are capable of entering and exiting since the queen is several sizes larger. When they move the hive, the entire colony follows. You do not become the bees rulers, they just tolerate you and are only devoted to theur queen.


I am going to send my computer for a checkup to an office tech dude. I want to clear all internet memory so that he can't see what sites I've been on. I deleted all the Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, and cleared the history. However, I'm sure that he can still find things out from the C Drive. How do I completely remove those files?

Use webroot's Window Washer program. It gets rid of what is hidden after You delete temp internet files. They are called tif files. You can buy the software or as most would do is download it off a P2P share site like Limewire, which is legal by the way. Window Washer 4.8 version is better than 5.0 or later.Just don't get rid of temp files which is different from temp internet files. Some of those files contain uninstall programs even if folder is blank. Trust me on that one..good luck.


I like a few other guys but I don't know how to tell my boyfriend without destroying our relationship.

theres really no way around just go ahead and talk to him let him know you value his friendship, but  and you go from there, but try to do this as soon as possible because you dont want to keep anything from him the longer you wait the more complicated it will be.


Why do we teach kids that violence is not the answer and then have them read about wars in school that solved America's problems?

a very, very good question...\nmy best guess is because we're silly and assume that the wars did solve our problems. they didn't, but we do end up getting our way often when we slaughter hundreds or thousands of people, so we overlook that our people were slaughtered and we lost resources and innocent people died. maybe we're hoping in the back of our minds that the kids will be smart enough to realize that if we all lived by the "don't hurt people" rule then the world would be a much better place, but when one person doesn't play fair it puts the others in an awkward position.

With Bush declaring the war on terror, Guantanamo Bay is rapidly filling.\n\nHowever Bush refuses to view these people as prisoners of war, and because of that he doesn't have to treat them as required under the Geneva convention. \nHowever he still refers to the campaign as the WAR on terror.\n\nHow does having a WAR on terror, and taking prisoners, not make them Prsioners of War? What is wrong with granting them basic human rights?

The folks defending the US's behavior in Gitmo are basing their ideas on emotions, anfd often thinly-veiled racist beliefs.  There is only two legimate, legal, MORAL options concerning the "Detainees"-  they are either classified as EPWs- who then would be treated as such under the rules of armed conflict, Geneva Convention accords, and US law- OR they must be considered criminals and in turn be charged with a crime- in addition to all the legal entitlements accused persons in the US are due. Of course, neither is occurring- they are in some sort of Bizzaro World of Political and legal Limbo- and no one (except us wet-blanket crybabies who are so "Un-Umerican" as to concern ourselves with (gasp!) human rights and the rule of law) seems to care one bit.  In fact, I feel the majority of people- like the ones answering above, feel quite a vulgar little thrill at the thought of inflicting such indignities and/or suffering on the detainees.\nWhat next?  How far will this crazy train of racist backwoods justice take this country and this world?      Yikes.


So here's the deal: My 21st birthday is 2/14, which happens to fall on a Tuesday. Obviously that's not the biggest party day, and it being valentines day (on a tuesday) doesn't help much either. I want to go out and enjoy my evening, and I refuse to wait to the weekend to really celebrate it. So I'm looking for ideas...\n\nso far I'm thinking of having a big dinner somewhere like Cheesecake Factory for friends, and afterwards head somewhere ... dance club, bar, jazz club, the gym? anywhere?

i'd say go drinking. after all, you are turning 21.


BALANCE SHEET, THE INCOME STATEMENT, THE STATEMENT OF CASH FLOW, AND THE STATEMENT OF OWNERS' OR STOCK HOLDERS EQUITY.

The financial statement is just that, it states the companies financial position. It will list, assets, liabilities, A/R, A/P, inventories. This reflects a period of time. If the companies liabilities exceed the assets, then your in trouble.


What exactl does communism mean? Are there really any Industries existing in kerala?

Communism as such means a political party in favour of the working class. It was party formed by the workers to oppose the rich or the wealtheir. The working class has always been oppressed under the rich factory owner who used to utilise them.\n\nJust like any other countries, there are labor union for companies, but in kerala, the communist party being very strong and supporting to the workers, there you can see many workers union for 90% of the factories and companies. This in a way was/is to support the interest of the workers.


I'm just wondering who here has a Mac or Macintosh? I do but most of my friends have PCs so I feel left out. I'm just wondering how many people have a Mac.\n\nThanks for answering!

It really depends on what you are looking for into a computer. If you would like a more stable computer (minimal crashing), minimal viruses or sypware, and good multimedia editing then go for a Mac. If you want a computer to play games, run a business on, customize a lot more, then go with a Windows computer. \n\nI have both Mac and PC. I have been involved in varies technical aspects of the pc since Windows 3.1. I never cared much about Macs. Until I began to do heavy media editing. When I began to work for a Film/Video Post-Production Facility, I became more accustomed to using Macs. When comparing video tasks being done on a Mac or on my heavily self upgraded PC, I found things turned out better and faster on the MAC. Now I bought a Mac last year and truly love it. But if you are buying a computer to play video games, type documents, run special application, then PC is better. There is more compatibility with software. But big downside to windows is the lack of security. Including Virus and adware. \n\nI guess it depends on what you are looking for.\n\nI grew up on windows, still appreciate them, but would choose a Mac.


Does any one know how to work the PIP on the TV. I can get it up, but i can't change the channel the PIP shows unless i am on channel 00. and that doesn't do me much good.

you proabaly need to select the "INPUT" source for the PiP and yeah, sometimes its difficult to change the channel on the smaller pic.  I think on my TV its easier because the big pic will be off satellite and the PiP 'source' coming from the VCR so I can just change the channel on the VCR using its remote (or the satellite remote if needed).


Is there a directory of websites also? Like a master list?  Maybe there are sites that I would like to visit, but I don't even know they exist.

Well, it won't be in the trash bin because it recycles to the hard drive, so unless you want to waste 200 bucks taking it to a technician that will merely use high-tech equipment to restore it, I suggest you just don't bother.\n\nBesides, clearing your history can be good, the less space used on your computer the better!


I want to race go-karts. My dad said no because he said it would be to hard to learn how to fix it and it would cost a lot of money. I guess both of these facts are true but I was just wondering if anyone knew how hard it was to learn how to maintain a go-kart. Like would it be hard to learn if you have little mechanical experience? And on average how much would it cost per year? Thnx!

it really depends on the driver and the go cart it can be really cheap or expensive to have on. and if you do not realy know any thing about cars or go carts it is realy hard to learn.


is there sudenly an age limit to buy condoms in ohio...cuz my friend is 16 and he couldnt get them?

xenia,\n\nI think it's just STUPID that anyone would refuse to sell condoms to anyone, because of age.  When will people learn that that's how unwanted pregnancy and disease is spread?  People will DO what they want to DO, regardless of whether they have a rubber or not...better just to have one, ya know?\n\nIf you're in a decent-sized town, there should be a local free clinic.  He could stop by there and probably get them for free, and he doesn't have to listen to their schpiel, if he doesn't want to.

My son was diagnosed with D. in the third grade. Does your school have a class designed to tutor you? My son had to have assignments and tests read to him, and he was allowed to answer verbally. He taped the classes. Some assignments were altered. Not made easier, but if it required alot of writing, he was able to use a computer. We even homeschooled for 5 years.  We found a curriculum that was alot of hands on experiences.  It is hard. Hang in there, you're an inspiration to someone watching you.


Solutions for tennis elbow.  Ice, ice, and ice.  Those tennis elbow things for the arm really help to.  When your stretching out you tennis elbow arm, stretch it, but not too far.  You should really rest for a couple of days.  Ice it even when it has stopped hurting.  If you don't, tennis elbow can come back quickly.  Find a couch, and talk to him.  There is probably something wrong with you form, and that is why you are hurting. For the racquet, i find the flexpoints are really easy on the arm.  It is mainly in the stings though.  Go on tennis warehouse and look at tennis elbow string.  They really make them.  Good luck.  Tennis elbow royaly stinks.

I had to analyze one of Sylvia Plath's poems and i have to explain the effectiveness of her poems. the only thing is, is that her poems are open to so much interpretation and that the only way you could have a clue as to what her work is about is if you research her immensely. So if you dont even know what her work is about(i have ideas, but not sure if they are exactly right), how would i know what effect she is trying to put upon the reader?

The best way to analyze the effectiveness of a poem is to examine it's effect on yourself. What words grasp you emotionally and what do they remind you of? Read it aloud and listen to the rythms, whether staccato or smooth. A lot of what you feel while reading this poem is what most other people will be feeling. I say go with your gut on this one.

Today I picked up a DVD of Rod Stewart at Albert Hall. The performance was just before Gr Am Songbook III came out...old.\n\nI am the first to admit that these old songs, beautiful as they are, and as well as Rod does them, are starting to stink of money...fat money in Rod's wallet!!\n\nAnd I wish he would do a new rock album that doesn't suck (did anyone actually enjoy Human?) or rely on recycling all his old rock songs in ANOTHER Greatest Hits type album.\n\nHaving said all that, I am a lifelong fan, having followed Rod (emotionally) through all the good and bad. I know every song and I do love that cocky bastard!\n\nAnyway, back to this recent video presentation from Albert Hall. Did anyone see it? Did anyone notice, esp during the rock portion of the concert, that he just seems more comfortable than ever? He had an easiness in his walk, a peace on his face, a smoothness in his voice, none of which had to do with his experience in the limelight. Comments? Anyone agree? If so, why?

Rod Stewart puts on a great show.  I think with his age has come a sense of confidence..He does seem more relaxed...Last show I saw (year ago) his daughter came out and did a song..he looked so proud..However, the second half of the show was a drop..doing all the old stuff..sounded great, but not expected..Rod just isnt the big band type.  We want Maggie Mae!!!!!

yes and no...i would take it as almost an insult if i was a rb 4 a team whose qb ran the ball to much. mike vick is a great qb and versatile player an so is vince young but id prefer to be the rb 4 a team that trusted me with the ball a little bit more than to have  the qb run it all the time.

I have several Google ads with GoogleAdwords and they had ~ 1.5 million impressions with ~550 clicks, but very low click through rate and little response. The average CPC was ~ $2 and the campaign cost me $1200.\n\nHow do I know that competitors or Google people aren't just clicking on the ads?\n\nAlso, with content partners (more clicks that search) there is not indication of which key words are working.

I would suggest that you create a bunch of campaigns in AdWords so that you can track to see what is and is not working.  I also suggest that you turn on some ads and turn off others to analyze what seems to be working at different times of day.  The web audience is different during the day vs. during the night.  A good click rate doesnt necessary translate into a good conversion rate -- you need to analyze the tags and ads that are working and push those more.  It could actually make sense for you to increase your CPC rate if it makes financial sense.

Humm.. I have just start duck hunting and am using an older Remington 1100. I want to buy a new gun for under $400. I would love for it to be semi-auto shotgun if possible. I have heard Charles Daly's are pretty good and so is the price.

http://www.boytharness.com/duckguns.htm\n\n\n\nLocation\n Location is the single most important aspect of hunting waterfowl. \n In order to kill any number of ducks consistently you need a good spot. Even the best duck hunter will not kill many ducks in a bad spot. \n To find a good spot you can either scout on your own or ask around but usually a combination of the two works best. So go find a good place to hunt and kill some ducks. \n\nEquipment\nOnce you've found a good place to set up you're only about 3/4 of the way out of the woods. You still need to have the right stuff to get the fowl in nice and tight. Plus having all the trinkets and equipment of waterfowling is a good portion of the fun, and a great conversation piece in the blind.\n\nThere are several areas of equipment that are necessary to every waterfowl hunter: Guns, Shells, Decoys, Calls, some way to move around in the water, and some form of concealment.\n\nGuns:\n\n There is a lot of variety when it comes to duck guns. Basically it comes down to personal preference. \n If you’re in the market for a new gun look around and ask people about their favorite duck gun. Then figure out what you want in terms of action, choke, etc. \n Go to a store or gun show and try out the various makes and models of guns to see what fits you best and which is the most comfortable. \n There is one thing you don't need to worry about trying to decide on and that is what gauge of shotgun to buy, that's a given, a twelve gauge is the only affective gun to hunts ducks with using steel shot. A ten gauge will do the job too but they are too bulky. \n\nShells:\n\n In order to hunt ducks and geese legally you need to use non-toxic shot. There are three types of non-toxic shot available today steel, Bismuth, and Tungsten. \n Steel has been around the longest but it is the worst performing. \n There are a few tricks needed to kill waterfowl with steel shot. The two main things you need to know are to use big shot and buy fast shells. \n Bismuth and Tungsten work very well (along the same lines as lead) but they are awfully expensive. One advantage of Bismuth is that you can shoot it through old guns that are not made to handle steel or tungsten. \n\nDecoys:\n\n There is an infinite variety of decoys available. They are made out of variety of materials: Cedar, Cork, Foam, and Plastic. \n Cedar and Cork look beautiful and ride the water just like a real duck, however these are all handcrafted and fetch exuberant prices that the average hunter can not afford. \n Foam and plastic will also draw ducks. Foam is better because it is solid and can absorb being shot, rides the water better, and are more easily repainted. Foam decoys are still fairly expensive. \n Plastic decoys are cheap and still very realistic looking. Try mallard decoys that are all magnum size - these are slightly larger than life size so they have additional drawing power, but they are still close enough that ducks will swim into them on a regular basis. \n\nCalls:\n\n The sound of a good call is one of my favorite parts of duck hunting. \n Every call sounds different depending on who blows it. So to find the right call for you, you probably need to try out a few, plus some days ducks will respond better too than others, so it is good to have a spare. \n \n \n \n\nReturn to top of page\n\n \n\nWaterfowl Hunting Tips:\n \n Use the sun, wind, and other natural features of the landscape to your benefit when setting up. Set up in short timber and shallow water whenever possible. Short timber because the ducks will come in lower and shallow water because that's where they want to feed. \n Take time to not only practice your calling but to learn how ducks actually use different sounds. Then go back and practice. \n Use effective camouflage that matches the terrain you hunt. We have many hunts where the ducks simply don't want to work to the decoys around the blind, so we get out of the blind and are able to


the first movie was pretty much a flop and the show has been off the air for so long... I doubt it would be much of a blockbuster.


I know my husband will be excited... he loves the Halloween movies.


Give us more details to this hopeful siutation?

Only the US House of Representatives can impeach the President. The Republicans hold a majority in the House, so it's not very likely.


Okay, I know that our solar system is made up of earth, the sun, the moons and nine planets. How fast are we traveling, how long have we been traveling and where are we going? This will give me some insight on the magnitude of God's power. And people don't know how to ask Him for something. My Bible reads "ask and ye shall receive,......."

The Earth rotates on its axis at 1000 miles per hour (1600 kph). It orbits around the Sun at an average speed of around 67,250 miles per hour (107,600 kph). The Sun, in turn, is orbiting around the centre of the galaxy at a speed of 540,000 miles per hour. So the combined speed through space of the Earth and the Sun is 607,250 miles per hour. But there´s more - our Galaxy is also hurtling through space at a speed of 360,000 miles per hour. The combined motion of the Earth, Sun and Galaxy means that we are about twenty three and a quarter million miles away from where we were in space this time yesterday.\n\n  The Solar Sytem is believed to be about 4.5 billion years old but it's constituent parts were undoubtedly moving even before that. It is predicted\nthat our Milky Way galaxy will collide with the Andromeda galaxy in, roughly, 5 billion years.


What could be done to improve? Is it the president`s fault or his staff.

it's all Bush's fault...he's the one that decided to go to war!

My friend got a speeding ticket in Fairfax VA, and have to appear at court.  I know there is a way to get out of court appearance and pint deduction, and just pay the fee.  but forgot exactly what that is.  If you know, please let me know

Many states have a process where you can get a suspended sentence for tickets if you otherwise have a clear driving record. For example many years ago (in Newport News coincidently) I got a ticket for running a stop sign. I appeared in court and gave my side of the story. The judge suspended the fine (and therefore points) for 6 months. After 65 months with out a ticket, the ticket disappeared from my record.

I know bacteria can multiply by simply doubling themselves (given the right environment), but a virus needs to invade a hosts cells and explode them in order to multiply.  So a virus is much smaller and simpler than bacteria, but what exactly is a germ?

"Germ" means "seed", and is the original term for all disease-causing organisms, back before we could even tell what they were.  The germ theory of disease was revolutionary and pretty crazy for its time.  "Little invisible animals make us sick? Suuuurrre they do."  It wasn't until much later that we figured out more about viruses and bacteria, so the term "germ" has stuck with us, and it's typically used when speaking about both together.


Because chinese has a lot of alphabets, which by any means can be incorporated in the QWERTY keyboard

My girlfriend uses it. Its a simple program which she downloaded from the net. If you are asking how to use it, Well its simple, If you want to type a chinese word then you have to know how it sounds like, for example you want to type Wa(means I in chinese) then you type WA and the program will show you a list of chinese words to choose from, if you know which it is, you just pick it and then type the next word and so on...

Do you know where cain I find them? a web page or something? I'll give 10 points to the person who can give the adress of a web page ehere i can find them     \nPLEASE HELP

Geez...I looked and just could not find anything that would probably help you.\n\nMaybe a hands on (no pun intended) project could help you better.  An idea is to have them make their own alphabet that you can put on your wall.  \nHave them trace their hands and make a collage or something of that source.  Of course, a collage would be to big for a wall alphabet so another idea is to take a digital snap shot of it, then hang the 8x11 print out next to the letter H. \n\nYou could probably do the same thing with eyes.  But...I don't know.\nGood luck!

Unfortunately, many people want what they want whether it is legal or not. \nThey want the judges to be able to do what ever they want whenever they want. \n\nIf you Don't like a law, vote to change it.

I'm in college, & need help with my macroeconomics class. I took a quiz, and got 5 questions wrong. My teacher is disputing that they're wrong, but I say they're right!! Thank you in advance for your help. The questions are: The ability-to-pay tax principle can't be applied to: (she said the correct answer was welfare). The ability to pay tax principle states that: Those with a greater ability to pay (such as those with a higher income, or those who own more property)should pay more taxes.  I don't see how welfare (or her other choices of post office, & highway) fit into this principle.  Yes, we as users of the highway & post offices pay taxes,(these services are supplied by the government) but people that use welfare also pay taxes. The only way I can see this to be a part of it, is that highways can make money by tolls & post offices by postage, & welfare is giving money away to citizens.  Thank you, and I have 4 more, but no space to post, so I'm going to do individual questions.

Welfare is essentially a negative tax, which goes right in hand with the ability-to-pay tax principle. They so lack an ability to pay that they are instead paid by the Social Security Insurance tax that everyone who can pay does.

I've never seen this evidence of man co-existing with dinosaurs... except a vague referrence from the good book.\n\nBut why does science need to not have a God?\n\nAccording to the scientific method, unless you can disprove a theory... it stands as true.\n\nIs there any possible way to prove... by prove meaning all possibilities have been examined and no evidence can be provided against... the existence or non-existence of God?\n\nIf not, then why can't science and God co-exist?

They can.  Open your mind.\n\nBut this:\n\n"According to the scientific method, unless you can disprove a theory... it stands as true."\n\nis an absolute farce.  There is so such notion in science.  If it's not a scientific theory, then it's not a scientific theory.  It means science can't say anything about it, right, wrong, or sideways.\n\nYou're confusing the legal idea of "innocent until proven guilty" with science.  Science cannot disproave any of Christianity, Hinduism, Shinto, Zoroastrianism, or Minerva worship--that doesn't mean science says they're all true.

Why is it that some parents are so cool and let you do whatever you want and other times parents are so controlling and won't let you do anything even though you know they have done it themselves before.

Controlling isn't always bad.  It just means that they care enough to put their foot down and say "I love you therefore I need to know where you are going, who you will be with, and what you will be doing."  Other parents that are toooooo trusting, most of the time, really don't care.

how do u measure the amount of force needed to move a certain amount of wait? like if i needed a motor to move 150 lbs. then how would u measure the force needed to move that.

The last poster needs to have his dynamic physics retaught, or stop trying to sound like an engineer.\n\nThe first mistake, is identifying newtons = force x distance.  This is actually a measure of work or energy and measured in joules.  The second mistake identifying force as being measured in joules.  Force is measured in Newtons.  Since it was Isaac Newton in the second law of motion that defined Force.\n\nYour question cannot really be answered without more information.  What is the direction of motion, horizontally or vertically?  \n\nVerically?  Then 150 lbs of force.  Pounds were once used to measure force.  If you want to use metric, convert the 150 lbs to kilograms, multiply by 9.8 and then you must exert at least this much force in Newtons to overcome the force of gravity.  150 lbs is 68.04 kg.\n\nHorizontally, what type of surface?  Determine the coefficient of friction, and multiply it by the mass in kilograms.  Then this is the amount of force you need to exert to overcome the force of friction.  There are two types of friction, static and dynamic.  In other words it takes more force to move an object at rest, but once the object is in motion it takes less force to keep it move (opposing the dynamic force of friction).\n\nWatts by the way is a measurement of power, which is energy derived by time, Power = dE/dt.  Joules per second.

so you got to let me know ,,,,, sould i stay or sould i go !


I know i've seen it somewhere, and it translates to "shrimp puffs" or something similar

"les schtroumpfs"  Which literally translates to "what's-its-name".  Hope this help
