In other words, are there risks to investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts which offset the high yields which they provide?

There is risk in any investment no matter which it is, stocks, municipal bonds, gold/silver or what ever. The higher the yield the higher the risk.\n\nNormally if a REIT is handled properly, you have a good REIT manager you will very seldom lose any large amounts of investment. Sometimes they will flatten out or take a dip depending on the interest rate at the time.  You have to make sure they are doing or engaged in what your desires are. Do they invest in development, shopping malls, hotels, strip shopping centers, 2nd trust deeds or what ever is this compatible to the way you want to invest?  What about their last year P&L, Did they offer a prospectus? Who is the manager and how long has he been the manager?\n   \n\nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.\n\n"FIGHT ON"

How this website www.illegalimmigrantprotest.com is using Cinco de Mayo as theyre protest day.\n\nIf it wasnt for Cinco de Mayo, the French Army would have gone north (this was Napoleans intention) and split the USA into two, thus creating two countries. So...your using a Mexican event, which stopped the destruction of the USA as we know it...to protest the Mexicans being in the USA.\n\nGo figure...what dumbass figured that one out?

SHUT YOUR MOUTH BEANER.  I am this close to call immigration on you go back to school first then come back and talk smart things.\n\nPANCHA,\nI AM NOT ILLEGAL BUT CAN I STILL SUCK ON YOUR ASS???


If you were 100 % sure that it truley was God charging you with the mission to play the role of the Antichrist in these End Times, would you accept? What would you say? Why would you? Why wouldn't you?

Don't worry about it because God has already selected the person that will be the antichrist.


Why do people get fussy if you don't leave feedback right away? Am I the only one who doesn't want to leave feedback when people send me a message asking me to before I have even received the item? Does it do any good if you say something negative when the product isn't as expected?

Feedback allows other users to see if a certain buyer/seller has a good reputation, and helps decide whether they want to buy from them or not.


I've checked craigslist and have found some things. Is it possible o do this for under 800? I think I found something I like but have to contact them but was wondering what other peoples experiences were.

I'd go to craigslist like you've done and also would check with some of the local colleges like NYU(in the student union) to see if there are any sublet postings for the summer.\n\nAnother good source in NYC is the Villiage voice which is a free weekly paper.\n\nFor under 800 will be tough in Manhattan prime.  But, this will depend on where in Manhattan you would like to live.  Uptown Manhattan will be easier to find a roommate sublet for under 800 vs Villiage.\n\nIn any event, after living in NYC for about 10 years, I'd go for a simple roommate share in someone apartment.  You will find that you spend very little time(only to sleep and get changed) in your apartment and will typically be out.


Is it because they can see camouflaged prey better while hunting for survival in the caveman days?

lol no\nits because it is a sex linked disease or disorder. there are the x and y sex chromosomes that determine gender the female is xx the male is xy. x is the only chromosome that can carry genes. colorblindness is recessive. let x1 stand for colorblind gene. if a female gets one colorblind gene (x1) having the genes x1x then they wont show colorblindness because it is recessive and wont show. if a male gets one color blind gene and has the genes x1y then he will have colorblindness because there is nothing else to cover it. males cannot be carriers and it is more likely for the males to get colorblindness because they only need one chance to get an x1 gene.


My friend let me borrow the last 3 and I just got GB in the mail from Netflix, how are they?

I have seen Grandma's Boy and I have never laugh so hard in my life this movie was so funny, I was crying with laughter. I haven't seen Anchorman yet or Training Day, but Half Baked is pretty funny, but not as funny as Grandma's Boy. If you like a weed, video games and grandma's then you will like Grandma's Boy.

warning, live without warning.  \nwarning, live without warning.\n{green day}\n\njust heard 'em.  \nwhat happened?

I was an extreme worrier when I was a kid, so when hearing a siren I would get all upset and think that it was about somebody we know.  So, Mom would always say "The siren is good.  It means somebody is getting the help they need.  If there was trouble and no siren, that would be a bad thing."  As I grew up, if we'd hear a siren she'd smile and say "Someone is happy to hear help is on the way!"\n\nNow, when I hear a siren, that is the first thing that pops into my mind. Mom's brainwashing worked!


As in how to you use alpha and beta in Medical usage.\n\nThanks

The alpha particle is actually the nucleus of a helium atom, it is a positively charged particle. It's to big to penetrate skin. Beta particles are high energy electrons or positrons, they can penetrate skin and cell membranes but not the whole body (as X rays do).\n    \nThe positive charge of alpha particles is useful in some industrial processes. For example, radium-226 may be used to treat cancer, by inserting tiny amounts of radium into the tumorous mass.\n\nPositron emission tomography, also called PET imaging or a PET scan, is a diagnostic examination based on the detection of radiation from the emission of positrons.\nPET scans are used to detect cancer and to examine the effects of cancer therapy by characterizing biochemical changes in the cancer. These scans can be performed on the whole body. PET scans of the heart can be used to determine blood flow to the heart muscle and help evaluate signs of coronary artery disease. PET scans of the heart can also be used to determine if areas of the heart that show decreased function are alive rather than scarred as a result of a prior heart attack, called a myocardial infarction. Combined with a myocardial perfusion study, PET scans allow differentiation of nonfunctioning heart muscle from heart muscle that would benefit from a procedure, such as angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery, which would reestablish adequate blood flow and improve heart function. PET scans of the brain are used to evaluate patients who have memory disorders of an undetermined cause, suspected or proven brain tumors or seizure disorders that are not responsive to medical therapy and are therefore candidates for surgery.\n\nGamma particles are capable to penetrate skin and the body, too. They are high energy electromagnetic waves that kill living cells. In nuclear medicine, a drug incorporating a gamma-ray emitting radio-nuclide is administered to the patient and the desired organ is imaged by tracing the distribution or flow of the radio-nuclide by scanning the patient with a gamma-ray camera. Radiotherapy is used exclusively in the treatment of malignant tissue to kill cancerous cells. Beams of high energy x-rays or gamma-rays from cobalt-60 sources are most commonly used for such purposes.


i just bought my girlfriend a diamond ring at a value of about $1500 but i'm payin 4 it in payments and i bought it at "Kay" not some shop on the street.if i pay it on time or before does that help boost my credit score?

Yes, it will.  If you could pay it in full on a credit card to consolidate the bill and not be liable to Kay, then that would look even better.  Something to think about.


On the subway, at work, at school, at a restraunt, you notice people together don't talk about anything interesting?  They just complain non stop about various things to each other or say "like" in every sentence?  Guys acting like they are hard asses.  If I was with them I would go insane with the various stupid topics discussed.  What's going on?  Why can't anyone have a normal interesting conversation?

Hi,\n\nIf you believe in Psychics, should we follow what they say if it resinates with us? Does anyone have experience with this? Does anyone feel it could be something else misleading us from our true destiny?\n\nThansk Mei

I don't believe in psychics because \n\n1) They are so general (For example, your mate has a distinguished feature on his face; a scar, birthmark or something). How many people in the World have some form of scar on their face? Almost everyone.\n\n2) if they know everything, why don't they ever know the winning the lottery numbers?


please help me i want undersatand men of session

I suspect you mean 'seSSion'...\n\nA session is initiated when you connect to a web site. The server assigns a session ID to you/your computer.\n\nSession IDs are often used to allow the comings and goings of a validated user on a site. Other session variables can be set and read by code as well.\n\nFor example, lets say someone successfully logs on to your site (password validated) you can create a 'Validated' session variable and check that as the user tries to go to a page. In this way, even if someone has an URL for a page and tries to go there without getting validated, your code can redirect him back to a logon page (for example).\n\nIn the sources below I have included some of my favorite ASP reference sites and some on sessions.\n\nGood Luck

These sites are favorites of mine and now I cannot seem to gain entrance ever since Wal Mart Connect switched over to Netscape Browser. I am thinking the problem is that I need to use Internet Explorer to view these sites. How can I switch back and forth between browers as needed?\n\nThank you so much!

Instead get the IE plugin for firefox. If your going to download a new browser download Firefox which has more features, better security. \n\nThen go to plugins and grab the IE tab plugin. It's iffy on Linux but works fine on windoze.


Our computer is telling us that we have a virus. I paid for another security device. Now we have two lights blinking at us telling us we have a virus. What do we do?

Sounds to me like you're a victim of the fraud security program epidemic.  Here's how it works:\n\n1.  You become infected with a trojan that downloads and installs an anstispyware or antivirus program you probably never heard of.\n\n2.  It modifies/hijacks your desktop settings and pops up a message that you are infected with blah blah.  Some warnings will look like they come from XP SP2's Security Center to trick you into believing Winows itself is issuing the warning.\n\n3.  You will be linked to the program that was foisted on you or a web page to download a rogue program.  When you run a scan, you'll be told you have malware that probably isn't even there.\n\n4.  You'll be told if you want to fix what was found, you have to buy the scanner.  Sure the scan is free, removal will cost you.  \n\nIt's all a big fraud.  All they want is the money--cause even if you pay they don't fix anything and meanwhile the trojan is installing all kinds of other malware.\n\nMost antivirus and antispyware won't fix these fraulent programs that are infections themselves.  Or will remove parts of it but if the desktop hijack isn't fixed correctly you may be faced with a black screen or an old style that doesn't look like XP.  Some versions overwrite a system file that is critical for your PC's ability to connect to the internet.\n\nYour best bet is to go to this webpage and find which fraud program has infected you and follow the instructions:\nhttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/forum55.html\n\nThese guides use specialized tools to do the necessary and intense regitry editing so it is important to follow the instructions exactly.  Even then these fraud infections change rapidly, and often install other more dangerous malware, so whether the guide works or not it is advisable to go thru this procedure:\nhttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic34773.html

A magician was boasting one day about how long he could hold his breath underwater. His record was 6 minutes. A kid that was listening said, "thats nothing, I can stay underwater for 10 minutes using no equipment and no air pockets!" the magician told him that if he could do this he would give him 10,000 dollars. The kid did it and won the money. How did he do this?

He held a glass of water over his head for 10 mins'?

Clove oil or putting clove on the tooth that hurts and bite into it helps.

"antidisestablishmentariorism". I,m not sure about its spelling.

I'm a paramedic and I was just thinking of this after I heard about a man being put to death. I mean really what would you do, you got a guy who is minutes from being executed. He begins to have chest pain shortness of breath radiating down the left arm with nausea vommiting dizziness diaphoresis all classic signs/symptoms of myocardial infarction(heart attack). Do you proceed with the execution or do you allow for him to suffer and ultimately be put to death. For me the law states I have a duty to act. There is almost no chance I personally will be put in this type of situation but someone someday will be.

Actually, yes.  Not long ago I was reading on CNN.com about a guy who was to be out to death.  He had 2 heart attacks while on death row and both times they brought him back.  Then they had to wait until he was well enough to be executed.\n\nStupidest darn thing I have EVER heard of.  Don't you love our system?!?!


America can impeach Bush and Cheney in January then. It will be a great day!!! Who having Holiday parties coming up over this?

Cheney was drunk, his hunting lisence was expired, he aimlessly wandered onto someone else's property, and often commented that someday, somewhere, somehow, he'd shoot an old man in the face. What does it take to convince you people?

why not? that almost worked too. oh,well. i guess he'll have to try again.

If the Holy Spirit dictates what Christian should do, why do Christians commit sins and make mistakes ? How can you explain the conversion to other religions and atheism of many Christians? Are they told to do that by the Holy Spirit?

Ok so I've always been sort of shy...but I think I just don't know how to flirt with someone! I mean I've even went as far as asking a guy if I could put make-up on him! guess that's not a good way to flirt!

Hmm, no, that's a smidgen awkward. Make eye contact. Smile. Relax, it's no big thing. Be confident--no one can resist a little sexy confidence. Sit up straight. Stand with your arms to your side and your toes pointed inward just slightly. Make good conversation, keep it flowing. Giggle, but not too much. Compliment him genuinely once or twice. Softly touch his arm, hand, or knee. Best of luck!

You left out something.\n\n  What happened before you grabbed the milk?


If he was paying your bills, still taking you out and never talked about the main girl in his life. And if the sex is really, really good.

No. \nI value myself than more than some man's w****. Because that is what you are making yourself to be.  If the man could not respect me enough to be the one and only than he doesn't have much for me.  Of course he's gonna tell you that lie, but it's a lie.\n\nRespect yourself as a lady, not some mans sex toy or w****.\n\nAnd if that isn't enough think of the other female.  How do you think she feels? And how would you feel if your man was taking out of your mouth and giving it to another female.\n\nIt all boil down to:  RESPECT YOURSELF, BECAUSE WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After seeing the finale's cliffhanger who will Merideth choose???

Personally, like a lot of you, I hope she picks McDreamy.  I doubt that will happen... :(  \nHere's what I think will happen (because I know you really want to know).....\n\nThey continue the longing look love triangle (hehe), and before ANYONE can make a decision, Addison will walk up and they'll all scatter, but not before she sees that look of love for Meredith in Derek's eyes.  Then she'll pack up and leave town.  This doesn't mean roses for our happy couple.... Also, the vet, at first, will no longer want Meredith, but then he'll fight for her, and talk her out of Derek.  Oh, the drama.....\n\nWho knows...  I just don't think she'll pick Derek.  So, I say neither... 'cause something other than a decision being made will end the tense moment where they left us.

This one had a different website than last weeks episode,  I haven't been able to get beyond the first screen.  Has anyone gotten through the first screen on \n\nhttp://www.sublymonal.com/

I heard that you just have to keep clicking on the TV screens until it's done.  The clicks grow in numbers each set.  After you get to the next screen and wait around for a few minutes, a link to hanso foundation's exec page pops up.  Type in the code to his little box near the text about him and you get a fun flash movie.  The code is "heir apparent".  Type in heir apparent into the box under Mittelwerk's page and you get a new flash movie.  You also get one on Alvar Hanso's new page.


Would a tree (or any other plant for that matter) become 'confused' by the sudden change in seasons when taken from one Hemisphere to the other?

It could get confused, but only for one season.\n\nTrees drop there leaves based on declining day length, and it takes many weeks of exposure for them to be able to 'read' the time correctly. If you took a tree across the equator it could well suffer from the seasonal change.\n\nHowever if it survived then the following year it would have no problem at all. It would drop its leaves when the days started drawing in in Autumn just like it did back home.\n\n\nTrees don't have some mystic link with the place where they germinated. They just read the signals from the place where they are growing.


Brain neurotransmitters ,nerve impulses leading from brain to other body parts are known to be responsible for thinking and emotions. how come heart is then being stated as source for feelings.

Always remember, happiness is a state of the mind...\nwhen we are happy our mind is the one that gives us this feeling of happiness not the heart...-lil bro\n\nIts because of the Hypothalamus in the brain which controls our emotions. I wish I could take it out(or at least the part of it  which controls the emotions which I dunno where)...if only it werent that important...(it controls our whole body!) then we can live without emotions. Now that would be fun.   -me ü

i have to interview my grandma about world war II. the problem is i cant think of any good questions i should ask her. the questions can be on anything from social changes, political, media affects, etc. i could really use some suggestions. thanks so much! any answer will be appreciated.

1. How old were you during WWII?\n2. What do you remember about it? (Then maybe she will do so much talking the ?'s will be easy)\n3. Do you remember rationing?\n4. Do you have anything from that era that I could bring to class (I see extra credit here)\n5. How did you feel when you heard FDR's Pearl Harbor speech?\n6. How did you feel when you heard that the war in europe was over? The war in the east?\n7. Anything else you'd like to tell me?\n\nHope it goes well. You'll get to know your Grandma better and maybe get an "A!"

i just finished watching 60 minutes on cbs .and at the end of andys comments he threw me for a lope. he suggested that a new religion was needed aperently because the old ones are responcible for the death of our young people. so what type of religion and how do we re-write the 10 commadments to do this .

Consider this:\nA society is capable of surviving for thousands of years unless it is attacked from within or without by hostile forces. where such an attack occurs, the primary targets are it's religious and national gods and heroes,it's potential of leadership and the self respect and integrity of it's members.\nIf you look around you , you will find countless examples of these points. They scream at us every day from the newspapers and TV.\nProbably the most critical point of attack on a culture is it's religious experience. Where one can destroy or undermine religious institutions then the entire fabiric of the society can be quickly subverted or brought to ruin.\nFor the last hundred years or so religion has been beset with relentless attack. You have been told it’s the “opiate of the masses “, that it’s unscientific, that it is primitive, in short , that it is a delusion.\nThe source of this kind of attack is always covert and hidden. It is promoted by a few who have a vested interest in a slave society.\nUnfortunately these few rely on creating fear and insecurity in others\nto forward and promote their enemy propaganda. These others feel correctly they have to defend themselves from an attack, but because the real enemy is hidden, they can be manipulated to attack what they really should be defending as they cannot see the real enemy.\n\nThe key here is that underneath all these attacks on organised religion there is one fundemental target:\nThe spirituality of man, your own basic spiritual nature, self respect and peace of mind.\n\nHaving said that I can't resist introducing you to my religion. I don't feel too bad though since it does not conflict with other religious beliefs and you don't have to "convert". but it does fit the criteria of a new religion.\n\n\nScientology . An applied religious philosophy. \nWhen I say "applied" I mean you actually use it in your life to change or improve existing conditions. This is different from a religious practice. All religions if you learn about them have a basic philosphy, but they also have certain dogma, rituals and observances, and a certain faith or belief is required. There is nothing wrong with this, but Scientology is not that kind of religion. It does not intrude on anyones faiths of beliefs particularly in the area of God , the Supreme Being, or the Infinite. This area is left totally up to the indivdual, which is why you can be a practicing Jew or Atheist,for example and still use and apply the priniciples of Scientology in your life. It does not conflict. If anything it will enhance your understanding of your chosen religious practice.\nAnd it is only true for you according to your own observation and experience with it.\nIt is a non denominational religion . The dictionary definition that applies:\nReligion: The spiritual or emotional attitude of one who recognises the existence of superhuman power or powers.\n\nThe most basic principle of Scientology is that YOU are your own immortal soul, that this is not a "thing" you HAVE but what YOU actually are.\nThe whole purpose of Scientology is to increase an individual's understanding and awareness of himself. And thereby his native abilities .\nWhen you do this the sphere and zone of his positive influence increases and moves outward into his life, his family ,his friends, his groups and mankind which he is part of.\n\nHow this result is achieved is the "technology" of Scientology, which was developed by L.Ron Hubbard after his extensive research and the discoveries he made, about the human spirit. The basic religious philosophy and knowledge of Scientology is very old, going back 10,000 years at least to the Veda or Vedic Hymns from the East. The developement of the technology is new.\nHe completed his research before his death in 1986 and left all of his results and copyrights\nto the Church of Scientology along with most of his consider

For the do-it-yourself-er (URLs are listed below):\n\n- the two major $-sites Ancestry.com & Genealogy.com,\n- FamilySearch.org (Latter Day Saints/LDS/Mormons),\n- U.S.GenWeb Project,\n- World GenWeb Project,\n- RootsWeb.com (free, sponsored by Ancestry.com),\n- Cyndi's List of Genealogy Sites on the Internet,\n- the "swiss army knife" of websites: Google.com (but there are some tricks to using it for genealogy);\n- non-Internet non-computerized sources such as county courthouses and historical societies - the addresses are on the Internet (for your specific locations) but the information you will have to find "the old fashioned way" by looking it up.\n\nIf you need help:\n\n- the Family History Centers of the Latter Day Saints (more than 3,500 around the world), and they occasionally offer classes or seminars on genealogy & family history; they sometimes have volunteers willing to help you get started. \nYou can find a list of addresses of FHCs at the FamilySearch.org website.\n\n- try the Yahoo Groups for subject GENEALOGY (see URL below) - there are currently 2,813 Groups tagged as "Genealogy"; some Groups are specific to a surname or location or ethnicity, while others are "open non-specific"; many Group members are willing to do free look-ups and help with genealogy questions.


i finish my script of the movie now working on location and storybord, how i can get money for my movie.plese tel me tips for that,

how about the Science and art foundation?


Personally folks, I think that guy is sooooo deep!  He's got to be one of the most determined and truly gifted people on the planet?  I get the chills watching him and if there's a true messiah on this planet I think it's him.  HE IS NOT JUST ANOTHER ILLUSIONIST!  Ever hear how human beings use only 5-10% of our brains and that if we could use more or all of it we would be able to do just about anything?  Well, I think that David Blane is one of those gifted people who utilizes some of what most of us cannot.  And he is not some media-inspired freak either, he's humble and sexy as all get out in this girl's opinion!  So, let me know what y'all think of the great David Blane!  No Blane Bashing please!

Even though he did not break the world record, I think what he did was awesome. How many people can say that they can 1st live underwater in a fish tank for 170 some odd hours straight--then (without resting, eating or anything)become chained and hold your breath and remove the chains at the same time. Plus staying underwater for over 7 minutes. That guy is amazing. He definitely didn't fail in his task, he just didn't get as far as he wanted to go.

I dont know yet, I am going to be fixing a computer that sounds just like this later this week...


It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nHere is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business -- THERE'S NONE.\nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.\n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html


Not is it just the spelling it is the grammer. I don't expect perfect but does anyone else have trouble even understanding some of the questions?

I am with you. I look at some of these and go HUH?


Of course, I know that everyone needs to eat right, exercise and drink plenty of water to stay fit, but in my family the majority of us are overweight. I've recently noticed that I'm trending in this direction too, so I'm planning to get more exercise and eat healthier. What role, if any, does genetics play in becoming obese?

i think the predisposition to be obese is hereditary... however, although having the gene(s) could predispose you to being obese, it does not excuse you from being obese... because\n\ngenes + lifestyle = you ;p


I always see girls smoking 100s the guys smoke the shorts I like 100s cuz i just like a lotta ciggarette

I believe that women smoke 100's because they are a more femanine looking ciggarette, and men smoke regulars because 100's are "girly" looking. I am not sure where I heard or read this, but I remember this from somewhere, that a lot of women started smoking because it was something that was thought to be "attractive." I don't agree with that, but I swear that I heard something along those lines somewhere. If you think about that though, it kind of makes sense. How many men do you see walking around smoking Misty 120's or Capris those little stir stick looking smokes? All the ads in mags advertising these smokes all have attractive women in them with beautiful smiles, and reg cigs like Marbs have rough tough cowboys in the ads.

I take it that you do not mean the Philadelphia Experiment. The Philadelphia Incident is said to have occured on September 2, 1944; it was a nuclear accident and part of the Manhattan Project. It happened at the Naval Yard in South Philadelphia. The story is that three researchers went to fix a clog in the instruments that they were using to attempt to build a nuclear weapon. An unexpected pipe burst caused them to be showered with uranium hexaflouride which converted to hyrdoflouric acid burning two of the men to death instantly. Because of the super-secret nature of the Manhattan project their deaths had to be covered up for a long time. All of this information comes from the website listed below. It should be noted that it is the only website that claims these events occured in Philadelphia, most other websites say that the incident occured at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. I have no idea which version is true.


i'm using bloglines.com is there a better one? it can be an extrenal software, too.


Why do some people think Tony Stewart having a little paunchy belly makes him 'fat'? Tony is far from 'fat'....I don't know of any NASCAR drivers who are actually heavyset. I think calling Tony 'fat' is pretty rude. Not everyone can be slender like Jeff Gordon or buff like Carl Edwards!


hey several european countries allow the use of drugs and they are doing well economically, and have very good education.

think about it this way... i feel marijuana should be legalized due to the fact we are putting away pot heads for possession and stopping this drug from being on the streets and spending all of this money putting them away when there are TONS of cocaine dealers, crack dealers, meth heads, pedifiles, murderers etc still out there... yet our government is so convinced that marijuana is this horrible gateway drug... what about alcohol? in most cases kids now a days are more suseptable to drinking and then smoking pot than it being the other way around... but anyways. do you often read about people gettin arrested for being stoned out of their mind and killing someone from smoking and driving??? it happens occassionaly, but not as often as being being drunk and driving... do you hear about pot heads robbing gas stations to fund their habit? noo... usually that is cocaine addicts and meth heads... if the government was to legalize pot, they could put their own tax on it, and it would be just like alcohol, except for the fact you cant get "marijuana poisoning" well...you can, but to receive a lethal dose of thc you would have to consume 900 joints in a day... sure it causes cancers, but so does alcohol, so does smoking cigarettes...  so based off of how much we are spending on sending pot heads to jail, as well as keeping this so called "drug" off the streets we would make twice that if it were legalized... so yes, i feel people in the states should have full rights to smoke marijuana as they do in amsterdam.  but our government is to damn stupid to realize this potential and is just continually spending our tax dollars on throwing these TERRIBLE people, aka pot heads in jail...


the guy i am with is the first person i have ever been in love with we have been together all most 4 years and when he touches  me i still melt.


am currently using an older version of cubase, and an edirol ua-25 interface on pc laptop, but the interaction is very poor, the software extremely un-userfriendly and unconducive to making/mixing music. Dog of a program, usually won't even let me record. I use a mic and direct bass/guitar input. I've used a zoom 8 tracker before and miss the ease of use. Which recording/mixing software is best on ease of use, cheap enough, and still has enough features to make good-sounding recordings? For everything from multi-track songs to field recording. Good quality basics. Many thanks!

I have used Sony SoundForge and Cool Edit Pro (which is now Adobe Audition) I like both.

I guess this is a silly question. But, hey! Supermans OR SupermEn?

Well, assuming that Superman is the person's actual name, and assuming that there happened to be more than one person named Superman, the plural form would technically have to be Supermans. It would only be supermen if you were describing two men using super as the adjective.\n\nI know this is a silly way to think about it, but picture two men named Herman. You would say "Look, there are two Hermans there." You wouldn't say, "Hey, look at the Hermen."


Does Saint Augustine make a good point, or not?

this is one of those trick questions huh...i mean let's fact it, its never that black and white is it...okay YES! but of course the real answer is that there are varying degrees of justice and sovereignty depends on circumstance...you know what's good for society vs what is good for the individual, etc.


hey well at my school being on myspace is prohibited so we get on it with codes  but they always block them. do you guys now any codes i can use ( proxy, hidebehind,cookies,are aall blocked)

The exact same thing happened at our school and here's how we got round it.\n\nUse Babelfish\n\nhttp://www.babelfish.altavista.com...\n\nOfficially this is a site designed to let you be able to translate a website from one language to another. However, if you type the web address you want to visit in the 'translate a web page section' then choose 'dutch to English' (or any other language to English) from the menu then click translate you will be able to view this site.\n\nThe good thing is this site has a perfectly legitimate purpose so you're unlikely to get caught looking at banned sites by network administrators.\n\nHope this Helps!


go to ebay they have everthing\nhave fun


I have no friends and people around me annoy me for it i am happy its just that i always end up with friends that are distant so now i become distant from people who want to be my friends. How weird but i bet many people out their do it to people the want to keep secrets from right?

Actually, most goths do have friends. Certain kinds of people annoy other kinds of people. And as for keeping some secrets from other people, that's known as prudence. How many secrets do you have at your age? And what kind of 'goth' goes on Yahoo! and hints with all the subtlety of a hammer to the kneecap that they have 'secrets'?


god must exist but no prove of him except we are here and some one or thing created all this.-----people are generally evil if given the opertunity-----i beleif if a man and women were stranded on an island he would have her even if she objected if there was no way anyone would know----yet we are capable of such kindness if we have more then we need most will share with others----but as soon as things are in short supply we would kill you before sharing ----is this just self preservation and where does it end ----why shouldn't i take what i want when ever i want it-----is loving some one else more then yourself the only reason we behave in a careing manner at all ------ i realy beleive man is evil beyond help and left to his own desires would destroy and corrupt  every thing and everyone he comes in contact with  except those who have been brainwashed and taught to beleif in a system of beleifs that has a reward attatched for good behavior and you get this after you die. very strange

I understand you. I have felt the same way. There are no easy answers. I suggest a cabin in the woods far from other people for about a year until you get lonely and find the redeeming value of other peopels company even if you dont like them.

I was admitted to a graduate program in a canadian university; but i was supposed to get acceptance from one of their professors. after 6 months i found he is making data instead of doing experiments and also the quality of education is not good here. i wanna apply somewhere else but as i should send a recommendation letter i need current prof. letter. but he has a really bad prsonality and even if i ask him for a letter he will write some devastating letters. I don't know how i can convince the destination (university i'm gonna apply) about the lack of rec. letter from current professor. I have a letter from my previous supervisors who supervised me 1.5 year ago.

What you need to do is ask another professor in the department you are in or a professor you took a class from for a letter of recommendation. Most schools will accept a letter from any professor you took a class from. You can also call or email you previous supervisor and ask her or him to update the letter. If you don't think that is a good idea you can always call the school and explain your situation and ask them for advice on what to do. The best way to get a letter of recom from most professors is to write it your self and have them modify it. You can find examples from the internet. Best of Luck

AUSTRALIAN HAVE QUALIFIEAD FOR THE FIFA WORLD CUP FINALS THIS TEME FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 32 YEARS.WHICH SOUTH AMERICAN TEAM DID THEY BEAT IN PLAYOFF TO QUALIFY?

Australia beat Uruguay in penalty shoot out after finishing the second leg 1 nil. It came down to penalties because both teams where tied 1 all after 2 legs, first leg played in Uruguay, Uruguay won 1 nil. Second leg played in Australia, Australia won, 1 nil.


God killed nearly everything on this planet save those already in the sea and those on the "ark".  How is that not considered murder?  How about the next time god got angry.  He didn't kill those he was angry at, he killed their babies!!!  How can a first born baby killer not be considered a murderer?  Why would you follow someone with such disregard for life.  How does that fit in with giving us free will?  "Free will, but only if you do as I say" doesn't sound like free will to me!

I quite agree!! And it happens so often today - all the wars, suicide bombings, "natural" disasters etc etc.


i need ideas, it sfor a civil war project. i need it to be amputateable, and bleed when cut. if you can tell me how to make any specific pieces, it would help.

cheapest/fastest way is to kill someone & use the body. Of course then I tend to look for easy answers at times :)


Hey guys i just wanted to know who believes in saving sex and all that stuff (oral sex, etc) should be saved for marrigge? I do but i just wanted to know what you think.

Please, please, please wait. It is so important. My husband was a virgin when we married and I wasn't. I wanted to have my virginity back so badly when we married but it was too late. Our honeymoon was great but it was bittersweet because I had to deal with the regret of him not being my first. It could have been the best experience of my life. And everything else counts too. I wish I wouldn't have even held hands, kissed, or anything like that until I married. It would have been so special. Please save it for marriage.


The point of this site is to get help and get answers right?  SO why do people put useless questions up?  Stupid questions deserve stupid answers.. I like questions from people that REALLY need help... :)

I KNOW I AM REALLY BORED SO I HAVE BEEN ON THIS THING FOR A HOUR I A NOT ANSWERD  A QUESTION IN A LONG TIME BECAUSE THEY ARE SO STUPID


I do!:)\n\n\nGO SABRES!!!\n\nUpdate:\n\nYES!!=)\n\nThe Sabres won!!:)


My Ques. is this: I've a Toshiba-built DVD drive (built for IBM), and I want to install it into a Compaq Presario. The obvious concern is irrelavent, I can fabricate an internal cradle at the office. What I need is info about: converting the power supply, hardwiring, will I need to fabricate a custom wiring harness to install it? the necessary drivers? That last one would just be the applicable WinXP driver, n'cest pa?\nAlso: I've an ACER Scan Prisa,  also trying to install it on this Presario. I've reason to believe that there isn't an applicable ACER driver for WinXP, is this true? Do I need to change the O.S. to Win98SE?, would that eliminate the problem? Barest whisper is all I need to change it, it's my Brother's Comp, and he wants WinXP...UNLESS I can convince him it's for the best. Which I, of course, believe it to be...\nAny opinions on that?

I don't think that this would be a good idea. The bays in a tower are usually half height. The notebook drive is like a quarter height. Why go to so much trouble when you can get a new 16X DVD-RW in half height for $60 or so? I don't think that the Toshiba notebook drive will burn at 16X speed. The IDEs are not compatible on the mobos, one is for the notebook, the one on the mobo is ATX form. Everything in a notebook is smaller. I don't know of any type of adapter for these IDE cables. Then it comes to the power cabling to the drive that is also very different. If this is just some type of experiment, then go for it! If you don't care too much about any of this equipment. I would be very interested to see how this turns out for you! If you think can't find drivers for something in XP, can't you copy them from Win98 system and install them in an XP system? I'd look for that driver in 98 first and see if I could copy the driver onto a flash drive and then import it into a XP machine and see if the driver works. Seems like your going to a lot of trouble to retro-fit this tower.


if you buy something on ebay, do you have to pay immediatly,\nor can you pay the next day?

Each seller is different.  You should email them directly or read thier policy.  If you choose the "buy it now" option, then you do pay right away.


According to recently found scriptures of the early christians, Jesus was not god and he did not die on a cross but rather he was substituted for another man called "Simon". Could this explain how some people saw him after he was reportedly crucified?

Eduardo P: That special herb was marijuana. Jesus was a pot head, well all the messiahs of that time period was potheads. And YES, there were other Messiahs and that is why the existence of Jesus is so vague. There were just too many "Messiahs" and Jews getting crucified to keep track of.

We have a herd of baboons in the senate that passed a bill that we need to get permission from mexico to build a fence in our own borders ,We also have the minutemen right now building a fence on our border right now,who would you trust with the security of our country? the baboons like Ted Kennedy,John McCain,Harry Reid and Arlen Specter or the minutemen that take no crap from the mexicans,maybe the minutemen should be in the senate instead of the expensive gutless baboons we are now supporting with our taxes

The US Senate is full of bloated panty waisted blow hards. Everyone of them thinks he/she should be president. The minutemen however have balls and appear to be more certain of what they are doing it, why the are doing it and who they are doing it for. The Minutemen win this hands down. The Minutemen are doing what most of America wishes the Senate would do.

i have a pc and i'm planning on buying a new mac laptop. is there an easier way to transfer my data (including photos, itunes , etc.) from the pc then burning cds and uploading them to the mac? can i firewire the data from the pc to the mac?

you can fire wire the data depending on how new the PC is. Turn off your lap top and plug the firewire into both computers. As you turn on your Mac holddown the T key.This should open up your Macs HD as an icon on your PC's desktop (or maybe in My Computer) then you can drag and drop all the files in there. I have only done this Mac to Mac so see apple.com for more info.


"If you love someone, you don't want them to suffer.You want to take their sufferings on yourself. If even I feel this way, why doesn't God?" - T.S. Elliot\nI think he may have brought up a good point. Any one have any answers?

Good did not create suffering but believe that he is there waiting to carry your loved one home. As long as they believe in HIM he will carry them into eternity. The Lord works in mysterious ways  but i believe and u should too


Could somebody please explain to me the origin of the Book of Mormon and why it is different from the Christian testaments. Also, what did Joseph Smith have to do with anything?

The origin is SUPPOSEDLY that Joseph Smith had a visitation from an angel named Moroni who told him to look underneath a rock on a hill in upstate New York. He did, and he found tablets and some kind of decoding device. He apparently then translated the tablets into English, and this is how the Book of Mormon was written. Then he lost the tablets, so there was no proof. "Eyewitness accounts" have been challenged.\n\nHowever, the Book of Mormon cannot stand against the Bible in archaeology, anthropology, or DNA evidence. It claims that Native Americans descended from Israelites that came to ancient America. DNA proves that they descended from the peoples of Asia. I reccommend the following sites. The first has documentaries about the scientific lack of evidence to support the Book of Mormon. The second is text, and summarizes the archaeological and antropological issues.\n\nP.S. My brother is a Mormon, and I love him. I've never met a Mormon I didn't like. I've read most of the Book of Mormon as my brother asked me to, and I've done my research into it. The Bible says that we are to study and to find answers about the truth. The Book of Mormon says that we are to rely on feelings in order to know truth - a "burning in the bosom."


Also, can anything be done (medication or lifestyle change) to raise blood pressure?

Your kidneys are not able to filter if you have a systolic BP under 72-70. \n\nDehydration can cause low blood pressure, so be sure you are drinking 6-8 glasses fluid/day (drinks containing caffeine act as a diuretic and do not count).\n\nNormal BP range is considered between 90/60 - 130/80, though pregnant woman can go as low as 80/50.\n\nIf are experience dizziness, lightheadedness, faint, or have any other problems, call your doctor.\n\nBe sure you are seeing your doctor at least once a year for a well checkup.


First, understand truly the view points of each one individually, and why they're angry with the other.  Then, get them together in a neutral place and YOU do the talking.. say.. this is how A feels, and this is how B feels.  And explain to them that you will not take sides, and that you will not talk to either of them until they've resolved their differences.  It's the best way to get them back to being friends, and it's also the best way to maintain your integrity.


I was raped by my babies daddy & he wouldn't even take responsable for what he did & now he wouldn't leave me alone our daughter died 10 months ago from RSV & it just kills me just to see him when I do because she looked just like her daddy & I just hate to even look at him all because Joanna Rose looked just like him. I didn't want to put him in jail for what he did to me because I was scared but was that the right thing to do or not? I think that was the right thing to do because he has 2 other kids out there that he take care of because there mother died 12 months ago that was when me & him were split up & he was with there mother & I knew about that so was that the right thing to do or not?


im trying to program something in batch that calculates pi, i have everything except for the square root, how could i take the square root of a number using batch script

Download XSET from the link given below and use its /MATH option to get any power of any number. Check the documentation and you should be using something like the following in your batch script to get the square root of 34:\n\nXSET /MATH var = "34^0.5"\n\nCheck the exact syntax from the file xset.txt in the file mentioned below. You can also read more about it from the second link below.


Things about my past and 1 past relationship.  There are times he will "throw" them in  my face when we get into arguments.  I know I shouldve kept them to myself but I told him so he could understand me better. But it seems it was a mistake telling him anything.  Would it be better to break it off with him or try and work things out. We'be been together for a year now.

IF YOU LEARN FROM IT,IT WONT BE A MISTAKE.


how does air temperature, pressure and density relate to cloud formations?\nand how about the start-life cycle.\n(a)i'm supose to name and describe the two major forces that act on a star\n(b)compare the elements n an "early protostar" and those in a "youg star" formed from "star dust" of older stars. \nI'm so confused going back to school isn't as easy as i thought it'd be so can you please help me.

To Answer the First part:\n\nThe life of a star is a continual struggle between the two forces of GRAVITY and NUCLEAR ENERGY. \nThe star’s self gravity or weight tries to compress the star into a smaller sphere of gas. But when a gas is compressed it gets hot, and in the core of a star the gas gets so hot (10 million Kelvins or more) that nuclear reactions occur. In a star like the Sun the nuclear reactions release more energy each second than one billion hydrogen bombs. As this energy works its way out of the star it balances the star’s self-gravity. For most of a star’s life an equilibrium is maintained between self gravity and energy.\n\nPSS Part 2\n\nNot sure what they want here. Since the "young star" is formed from the older star dust, it would have a higher proportion of heavier elements (like Iron and Silicon), since those elements would have been created in the older stars. A new protostar would never have been exposed to these heavier elements, so it would be still Hydrogen and Helium.


The initial evidence is speaking in tongues (a language you have never learned) as the Spirit gives the ability.\nSome people believe it is automatic when you "accept Jesus as your Savior". Acts 8:14-16 and Acts 19:1,2 reveal  that this is not the case.\nStill others believe that receiving God's Spirit and being filled, or baptized in the Spirit are two different things. This too is unscriptural. If you compare the following scriptures, you will see that it is all the same:\nJohn 7:38,39, Acts 2:4, 8:12-17, 10:44-46, 11:14-17, 19:1-6

You can tell with the evidence of speaking with other tongues. "Accepting the Lord Jesus" is not a bad practice, it is only the first step. You have to believe before you receive. I personally believed and then received the holy ghost at a later time. I spoke in other tongues when I received the holy ghost. It is a sign given to unbelievers around you as well as a sign to yourself. Acts 2:38 says "Repent and be baptized, everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you SHALL receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Every time someone received the holy ghost in the Bible, they spoke in an another tongue. The reason this is only mentioned in the Book of Acts is because this is the only book that shows people actually receiving the holy ghost. In every book written before this, the spirit was not given to anyone. The books after were written to those who had received the holy ghost, in other words, the churches.


Personally, I feel that the line they feed us about Americans not willing to do the hard work that illegals do is bullshit, nothing more than a convenient excuse to hire illegal workers and increase their profits by paying them a third of what they'd be forced to pay a citizen.  If these employers offered a living wage, there would be plenty of American citizens willing to do the work.  What these employers are doing is selling out their country for profits.  If the government put these employers in jail  for hiring illegals, there would be no immigration problem.  They don't because they are looking out for the interests of businessmen, not for the interests of average Americans.

Absolutely! If employers were (they are suppose to)made to check ss# and other forms of pos. ID and pay legal wages,americans would be more than willling to do the work the gov. claims they won't.I haven't known anyone who wants to be on WELFARE.


how do you know that you are in love witha perticular person saying that you not older then 20 but you like this person how do you know there is love?

Love is hard to define. \nBut it would have to be you willing to do anything for that person.\nYou would die for them.\nThey contain soo much of your heart.\nTheir on your mind 24/7\nWhen your with them you already miss them, and when their gone, you wanna be right next to him/her forever.\n&& you catch yourself smiling for know reason when your with them.\nOr when you sitting next to him/her, && he/she looks you in the eyes, and just stares into them...Thats when you know. It's real. He's/she's real.\nLove goes in deep.\nLove can also kill a person.


SHE WOULD LOOK BEAUTIFUL FROM BEHIND, BUT UGLY AND SHE WOULD CHASE MEN, HUNT THEM LIKE A DOG ALMOST, HER FAMOUS LINE IS, "IT'S A MMMMMAAAANNNN" I WAS THINK TEX AVERY OR LOONEY TUNES. OH PLEASE NEED PICTURE AS WELL. LABEL ANY REPONSE CARTOON CHARACTER SO I KNOW IT ISN'T SPAM.

You are describing a character in the Movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" in her shadow she looked like Jessica Rabbit but when the lite hit her she said IT"S A MMMMMAAANNN!!!! and was ugly from the front...If you watch the movie you will see it is in a scene where the detective goes to tune town..


If you do OK it means that you have an ok mind or can you be smrt too? And if you do better than kid A it means that you have to be smarter?

The Iowa Test of Basic Skills is an acheivement test.  It tells you how you are doing in reference to kids your age across the nation (I think it is by age?  or is it grade?  it should say on the results page you get).\n\nSo it shows how you are performing, NOT your IQ.  You might have an IQ of 100 (average) and score above average in areas on the Iowa Test because you really like those areas and work hard in them or vice versa. \n\nSo the results compare you to other kids your age. If you socre higher than your friend it means you know more about the area that he or she does.  It doesn't mean you are inherrently smarter, but that you probably worked harder to learn more.\n\nTests like this do have a little room for error, too.  So dont' take them as the whole truth - just a guide!


I'm curious to know what people are willing to spend on their homes, as I am in the market to buy one.\nBy the way...if your not shy, what do you pay monthly for a mortgage?\nAnd how big of a home do you own?

Under $60,000\n\nMortgage is $250\n\nvery small house, 700 sq. ft on a big lot with detached garage.\n\nThe market ballooned in the 4 years since I purchased, a house 2 houses away on my street with a smaller yard just sold for $188,900 and the house across the street sold for $225,000.


Lets say that France ticked off Jamaica, how long would it take the Jamaican military to sweep thru France and take it over.\nI give it 3 to 4 weeks.

do you think they can get rid of the smell too lol


now i owe my bank about $170.00 in fees alone. i have citizens bank. if i try to talk to them do you think that they will work out some way for me to pay these fees off a bit at a time instead of all a once?

It's worth a try.  If overdrawing isn't a habit, lots of times they'll take off all but one charge or half the charges.


I`m havin a Windows XP Home Edition n all documents are gettin saved in a `rich txt` format, I`m not bein able to upload my files online because of this !!

If you do not have MS Office, MS Word, or any other software that uses the '.doc' format, you will not be able to view files of that format.  Most likely, this format will not be available in the drop-down box mentioned above, either.\nAlternatively, you should still be able to save the files as a valid .doc file by typing quotations around the full file name in the 'file name' section of the Save screen.\n\nFor example, if you have a document titled 'example' and you want it saved as a .doc file, but have no other option of saving it as such...in the 'file name' box simply type the following:\n"example.doc"\nwith the quotation marks.\n\nIn order to view the file, however, you will have to have the necessary software installed on your system.  The extension has to be assigned to a valid program such as MS Word or WordPad I believe views .doc files, as well - though some of the advanced formatting available in MSWord will be lost when viewed with WordPad.\n\n***RESPONSE TO ADDITIONAL DETAILS***\nDid you try putting the quotation marks around the file name...such as\n"example.doc"\n\nWhen you add the quotations, it will save the file in the format specified regardless of what is in the "save as" box.\n\nAlso, open any folder (such as 'My Documents', for example) and go to Tools - Folder Options.  Click the 'File Types' tab and scroll down the list of file types until you find 'DOC'.  If you find it, down near the bottom where it says 'Opens with...' click 'Change' and browse for the program you prefer.\n\nIf you can't find it, click 'New', and in the top box, type\nDOC\nthen click 'Okay'.  Find DOC in the list, then follow the instructions above to select the appropriate program for it.

I am looking for information on Isadore Cloutier that married Mary Parent and lived and died in Somerset in 1856. They both moved there from Canada. Also, Narcisse Hamelin and Julie Cloutier, daughter of Isadore. They are buried in St. Annes Cemetery.

Three people on RWWC\nhttp://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi\nhave an Isadore Cloutier who married a Marie or Mary Parent, but they have him living 1832 - 1907. This one has a daughter Julie, b. 1857. They all lived in Somerset WI. Could you have gotten the death year wrong?


The sensitivity of a test is the probability that a person having a disease will test positive, the specificity of a test is the probability that a person not having the disease will test negative. A test for a certain disease has been used for many years.\n\nExperience with the test indicates that its sensitivity is 0.934 and that its specificity is 0.968. Furthermore, it is known that roughly 1 in 500 people has the disease.\n\n(a) Intepret the sensitivity and specificity of this test in terms of percentages.\n(b).Determine the probability that a person testing positive actually has the disease.\n\nPlease help!

a) Sensitivity = P(Test + | Has disease), so out of the people who have the disease, 93.4% would test positive for it.\n\nSpecificity = P(Test - | Doesn't have disease), so out of the people who don't have the disease, 98.6% would test negative for it.\n\nb) This is again a Bayes' Rule problem\nP(T+|D) = 0.934\nP(T-|ND) = 0.968\nP(D) = 0.002\n\nP(D|T+) = P(D)P(T+|D)/(P(D)P(T+|D) + P(ND)P(T-|ND))\n= (0.002)(0.934)/(0.002(0.934) + 0.998(0.968))


I would live in Lord of the rings, I would be great woman warrior, half elf, half human, Frodo's wife, Aragorn's best friend.\nOr I would be Sauron's dauther, raised by elves, wondering if she has to fight fot Mordor or Gondor.

I would live in Lord of the Rings and i would be the second daughter of Galadriel.I would be a great warrior and i would have joined the Fellowship as the 10th member.I would have been Legolas´ wife and Aragorn´s best friend.I would create the biggest elven kingdom and i would rule it fairly.Oh,also my mother would have passed me Nenia so since Sauron would have been destroyed i would be the most powerful,wise and beautiful elf in the world.But after some thousands of years i would be corrupted by evil and i would rule Middle Earth.Hahahaha...........


Yes.  You're right.  You're absolutely right.  Doesn't that feel great?  Maybe you can stop people from discussing what they want in person as well.  That would be really great.

Just sitting on my balcony last night, pondering the stars.

Stars tend to last for billions of years in the main sequence,  and take a while to burn out even after leaving it. So, except for a couple of red giants (Betelgeus comes to mind as a possiblity), they are probably all still there.


i for one regard beyonce as being the most sexiest and most sassy what do you guys thimk

Well, since you took Naomi Campell off the table, it makes it more difficult of a question.  (?)  \n\nI'm thinking Anna Kournikova.  Hot and good at tennis. \n\nOr the Crazy Cat Lady on the Simpson's.


I need a website with loads of information!!!!!!!!

I did a little research for you:\n\nhttp://www.egyptianmyths.net/osiris.htm\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osiris\nhttp://sobek.colorado.edu/LAB/GODS/osiris.html\n\nOsiris, the Greeks called him Pluto or Dionysus. He was a nature god and a king, the universal lord. According to tradition he abolished cannibalism, taught the solar religion, taught men to produce grainetc., built temples with fin images and laid down strict religious laws. He also built towns, gave man civilization and invented two kinds of flute to accompany ceremonial songs. \n\nHe was always accompanied on his travels by his grand vizier, Thoth, and his nephew (or some say his son), Anubis. Isis was his wife and Horus his son. Osiris is always depicted witha greenish face and dressed in white. He carries a crook and a flail, the insignia of order and discipline, and is sometimes shown seated on a throne, surrounded by water which grows the primordial lotus. His symbol is the Djed, or tet, a stylized tree.\n\nOsiris and his sister/wife, Isis, ruled over the lands later called Egypt. They were both divinities from Heaven(?) who had decended to Earth to aid in the development of mankind. Osiris had a brother Set (likened to the Greek Typhon), and the two brothers dwelt amicably with their wives, Isis and Nephthys, in Abydos. Osiris was much loved by the people, having taught them the arts civilization; he promoted piety, good health and well-being amongst them.\n\nWhile travelling to visit south-east Asia (some accounts state India) with his wife, Osiris was suddenly summoned by his brother to return. During his absence Set had conspired with seventy-two otherswho arranged a banquet to celebrate the King's homecoming. As part of the entertainment a strange box was introduced and, one after the other, the guests tried to fit into it. Only Osiris was able to slide comfortably inside, upon which move the conspiritors shut and sealed the lid. We are told that Osiris entered this box or tomb on 7 Athyr (13 November), the very day and month when Noah was surposed to have boarded the biblical ark. The box was then thrown int the Nile (or some accounts the sea), and carried onwards by the inundation. Eventually it was caught up in a tamarisk tree.\n\nIsis, who had been visiting Chemmis, received news of what had occured. She hastily sumoned her nephew Anubis, and set out to seek for her husbands body. At Byblus she found the tree,but it was guarded by a magical power and she could not approach the coffin. As she watched, the King of Byblus came looking for a tree to serve a a column for his palace. He selected the very one that held Osiris. In vain did Isis, in her form of a dove, utter plantive cries to dissuade the men from cutting it down, so she resumed her womanly appearance and went to the palace where she became nurse to the Queen's child. \n\nBy ingratiating herself with her employers Isis was able to match the evil magic of Set and secure the coffin. But her troubles were far from over.Set heard about her deeds and artfully stole the box while she slept. He open the coffin and cut the body of Osiris into fourteen pieces, dispersing them in various places. Isis then had the task of seeking each piece. With her sister Nephyhys and her nephew Anubis she travelled far and wide until she had located every piece except the phallus. This had been eated by a oxyrhyncus (although some may say a spider). She then made a phallic likeness from wood and brought the whole body to Abydos for burial. Together with Nephthys, her sister, Anubis, her nephew, and Thoth, her uncle, Isis wept bitterly over her dead husband and chanted magically. So powerful were her tears and prayers and the occult powers of Thoth, that one member of Osiris began to evidence vitality and secured conception for the faithful wife. Osiris then ascended to Heaven from which sublime place he continued to watch over Isis while she carried and bore his only son, Horus.\n\nThis is a copy of my previo


Hi\n\nI have a new job that requires me to have knowledge of British electoral law.  The job gives you the necessary training but I wanted a head start.  I did a Politics degree and nothing was mentioned in this area.\n\nSites like the electoral commission only have very basic information-so if there is anyone out there that can point me in the direction of a decent website it would be much appreciated.\n\nIn my current job I work in a library and so I have access to books but I'm off till the end of next week-so I wanted to try the Internet rather than books-but if you have any book titles that you believe would help that would be great.\n\nThanx

Wiki is a great primary resource. Start there, rather than a stodgy government-funded website.


My parents want me back so that now I can get engaged and start a family. Here at my home-town paid-jobs are not satisfactory. I am highly ambititious and intend to do something.One of my friends has setteled here where my parents want me. They say if he can settle well, I can also as we both are in the same profession.\n\nI also want that but feel a bit suspicious. Please help me what to do.

You are the master of your own destiny.  You can settle down anywhere.  Why not settle down where YOU want, not where your parents think you should?  You're grown; you're not somebody else's livestock to be brought hither and yon or penned up close by by controlling people.  Loving parents are great, but that love can also suffocate what they love.  Explain to them that you have to be your own person.  Good luck.


The Petition States: To: President George W. Bush, Honorable Members of Congress. \n\nAs a concerned citizen, I believe illegal immigration is a national security crisis of the highest order and also poses a long-term threat to the American way of life. I am calling on Congress and the President to:\n\n  #1 -- Secure our borders. As first priority, America must stop the flow of illegal immigration by investing all necessary resources in securing our borders. Also, existing immigration laws must be enforced as an essential component of our Homeland Security. \n\n \n  #2 -- No Amnesty. I oppose any form of amnesty for illegal aliens, including the “temporary worker” proposal or any proposals that grant legal residency status or citizenship to illegal aliens.

Sounds like a plan. People here do need to get involved in this. The country is in total chaos right now, over so many things: Irag, immigration, oil, deficits, educations, etc. \n\n6 years, hundreds of biliion dollars, millions of illegal immigrants, $3:50/ gallon later, Bush is still an idiot. Selling the country out!


there has been warming and cooling going on for millions of years before humans came along. just look at all the glacial periods there have been and the warming that has happened in between them. did the dinosaurs have s u vs? maybe that is what killed them all off.

Definitively a lot of hot air goes up warming the atmosphere.\nAlot comes from certain party and politicians in that party. That definitively aids the  warming phenomena which is due to the changing tilt of the earth.\n\nOn the other hand polution cause the opposite effect . it cause solar diming  wich counteracts the global warming effect.So its a War between those with the hot air and those with particle polutants.\n\nAs far as biological life of animals and plant life it does not go back that far .Because it is the changing tilt of the earth(precession of the poles) that cause either global freezing or cooking.I dont think that evolutionary species like revolutionists could survice these extreme changes.\nThe complete poles precession was calculated by scientist and astronomers to have a cycle of 22,000 years.\n\nAs fAR AS DINOSORS ARE CONCERNED ITS NOT SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST THAT MAKES THEM SURVIVE. it is the availability of nutritional food that allows them to survive. Besides there was a global flood in the history of the Globe. And that was only a short time ago.(poor Noah).So that anihilated some of the  animals who could not reach higher ground.\nThis bring the question whew did the oil in the ground come into being?\n\nAbout millions of years? there were writing that dated before the flood. and these people also exagerated about Time.The same is the case today . Dont believe those scientists who talk out of the top of their hats.Unless there is positive correct proof.


I never get to the part where the actors do things. I come just looking at the titles.

Are you alone?  If yes, then it shouldn't really matter, right?\nIf you're not alone, then start the movie a little ahead so that you have a chance to see some of the "acting".\nOr explain to your partner that you get overly sensitive when you put the movie on and then you can clean up and go again when the situation arises again during the movie.  You will last longer a second time around, even longer a third time.


Grab a calculator (You won't be able to do this one in your head) \n2. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code) \n3. Multiply by 80 \n4. Add 1 \n5. Multiply by 250 \n6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number \n7. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again \n8. Subtract 250 \n9. Divide number by 2 \nwhats your answer

Do you want to know why you get your phone number?\n\nOkay, so if your phone number was actualy one number as opposed to a series of digits and it was abc-defg then it is actualy \n\n(a*10^6) + (b*10^5) + (c*10^4) + (d*10^3) + (e*10^2) + (f*10^1) + (g*10^0)\n\nwhich means you start with (a*10^6) + (b*10^5) + (c*10^4)\n\nMultiplying by 80 gives\n(8a*10^7) + (8b*10^6) + (8c*10^5)\n\nAdding 1 gives\n(8a*10^7) + (8b*10^6) + (8c*10^5) + 1\n\nMultiplying by 250 gives\n(2000a*10^7) + (2000b*10^6) + (2000c*10^5) + 250\nwhich equals (2a*10^10) + (2b*10^9) + (2c*10^8) + 250\n\nAdding the last 4 digits is the same as adding\n(d*10^3) + (e*10^2) + (f*10^1) + (g*10^0) which gives\n\n(2a*10^10) + (2b*10^9) + (2c*10^8) + (d*10^3) + (e*10^2) + (f*10^1) + (g*10^0) + 250 \n\nAdding them again gives\n(2a*10^10) + (2b*10^9) + (2c*10^8) + (2d*10^3) + (2e*10^2) + (2f*10^1) + (2g*10^0) + 250 \n\nSubtracting 250 gives\n(2a*10^10) + (2b*10^9) + (2c*10^8) + (2d*10^3) + (2e*10^2) + (2f*10^1) + (2g*10^0)\n\nAnd so dividing by 2 gives\n(a*10^6) + (b*10^5) + (c*10^4) + (d*10^3) + (e*10^2) + (f*10^1) + (g*10^0)\n\nwhich is your phone number. This process is the same if you do it backwards. (Multipy where you would divide etc...) This is the same thing as multiplying a number by 4 then dividing it by 2 then dividiing it by 2 then adding 5 then subtracting (20/4)\n\nSorry if I took the magic out of it, but that's the math that explains why it works.

Definitely. But you must prepare for a career that you're passionate about.\n\nI was 19 and in the doldrums. I had been doing temp work for three years and it was driving me nuts. I went to apply for a one year vocational course doing my passion - programming. I loved being there and would stay late just to learn more and more. I did two job placements and they were so much fun. At the end of it I was offered a temporary job through one of my course tutors. I was working for approximately six weeks when I applied for a job at the local premises of a huge military aircraft company. I was offered the job immediately and I was there for 10 wonderful years. I only quit to emigrate to the US.\n\nI'm now in IT management with a national hotel chain.


Thats a very large powerpoint. I would suggest breaking it up into several powerpoint files in a numerical sequence. Then saving all the files on either a removable hard drive (which may vary from 1gb to 60gb depending on how much you want to spend) or spending a long time burning each individual file to a cd.


This girl, Ashley, my friend, I think is racist. She says things like "Those black people" and wears shirts that are rude and from South Park. (You know how South Park is) so now we are not friends. I don't know if I should be her friend or not!!! She says she isn't racist and that it's none of my business if she was! What should I do? Be her firend or not??

You've gotten so many answers, with so many different opinions, sugar, but you are the one who has to make the decision.  I gotta tell you, no matter your age, \n\nyou are who you hang out with. \n\n In my husband's old job, the bosses were ALWAYS cursing, and I'm not exaggerating.  They talked down to their employees regularly, and my husband started talking like they did. He didn't even realize the words he would use in front of our children.  \n\nIf your friend is talking and acting in a way that you think is wrong or distasteful, then you need to spend less time with her, or you could very well find yourself acting that way without even realizing it.  \n\nIt's obvious to me that she knows what she is, and isn't willing to make changes (not your business, right?).  Just find some other ways to use your time, and if she asks you why you're not spending so much time with her, tell her, nicely, and honestly, that her attitude about blacks, etc, bothers you.  Tell her you still like most things about her, but that it makes you uncomfortable.\n\nGood luck, sugar.  I'll pray for you.


i am this freak of a thing why did God make me that way? so i could be tormented and spit on by everyone? Is it because maybe i did something bad in a past life that i am now being punished for?

You are not being punished for anything.\n\nYou are not worthless either, you may feel that way, but your not.  I am sure there are people in your life that love and care about you and would be devestated to know you felt like this.  \n\nNo life is worthless, we all have a purpose you just have to find out what yours is.\n\nNo person is ugly either, we all have something beautiful about us, whether its your eyes, or your hair or the shape of your hands.  You do have redeeming features and even if you can't see it someone else will.\n\nMy gran's favourite saying was 'it doesn't matter what the wrappings like pet, all you want is a good filling'\n\nBeauty comes from inside.


A forensic scientist obtains a sample of blood from a crime scene. He intends to obtain DNA from this sample.

platelets are just fragments of the large bone marrow cells known as megakaryocytes... \n\nand the red blood cells, or erythrocytes, have no nucleus... \n\nso he should obtain any of the white blood cells, or leukocytes, such as neutrophils granulocytes, eosinophil granulocytes, basophil granulocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes or macrophages... because it is a complete cell with an intact nucleus, where the dna is located...


I am preparing to take the exam and would like any information on what exactly i should look out for and the best way to study from anyone with personal experience.

The 6 is significantly easier than the 7, which is more comprehensive.\nIn the 6 you will study mutual funds and annuities. Mutual funds come in many different flavors regarding fees and expenses and that seems to be what the focus is one. Suitablility for the clinet will be a big question in both the annuity and the funds questions.\nStudy hard, take practice exams, and you should be fine.


Why do people make  such a big deal of mexicans sing the national anthem in spanish. If these so called patriotic people look at the death list of solders dying in Iraq. They will notice that their are alot of Mexicans dying over there. They dont care if they speak spanish or not. All the Mexican people want is respect. Their tired of playing these day to day hypocritical games.

Mexicans sing the national anthem in spanish because they are a very important segment of american society and spanish is the 2nd language of USA and the govt of USA wants to send them a signal they are concerned about their identity and welfare for their selfish internal needs in agriculture in particular. The government of USA cares less who dies in the Iraq war as long as thier megalomaniac ego is undisturbed.

I know that guys aren't too much into "talking and discussing" things. But we've been married for 5 years and I want to spice things up in the bedroom. I would like some ideas on what to say to him and on what kinds of things guys like without adding a third party.

You've already gotten a lot of good (and bad) responses.\n\nThe key to any relationship is communication. And I think this is obviously where you think you have some problems. I assume you guys are comfortable talking about everything else. \n\nFor one, you need to talk to him. Pour your heart out and let him know where you stand. After 5 years, things do get stagnent. He may think your sex life with each other is fine where it is. You need to share with him your desire to spice it up.\n\nSometimes what holds a guy back is stress. If you have an opportunity, get a babysitter for the night/weekend, cook him a romantic dinner, turn off the phones, play some relaxing music, and talk the night away. Give him a back massage. Let him know he is loved and that he's appreciated. Ask him what he would like in your sexual relationship from you, to spice things up. \n\nBring up some options: Role Play. Having sex in a different part of the house (having sex in the same bed for 5 years can get old). Getting dressed up. Watch a porno together. Have sex with the window shades open. Turn up some music. Turn off the TV. Candles. Clean sheets. Go dancing. Go on vacation. Go to a Bed & Breakfast. Go to the beach. \n\nI've also seen a statistic once out of Europe that found that men find their partners more attractive when the household chores have been done. This maybe more related to stress.\n\nThere is sooo much you can do to help spice up a sexual relationship, that I think you should make the first move.\n\nAlso, don't make him feel bad for any fantasies he has. He's a guy. Sometimes you can even play into his fantasy. If he wants to have a 3rd party, but you don't, then by all means do not. But you can pretend:\nOne night, while you guys are about to have sex. Undress him completly. Tie his hands to the bed post and blindfold him. Once you've done that, tell him that you have a surprise for him. Tell him you've invited a female friend over to join the two of you, but she doesn't want him to known who it is, so he must keep the blindfold on. Pay a neighboorhood kid a dollar to ring your doorbell. When it rings, cover him up in a sheet, and tell him to keep the blindfold on.\nThen you get changed into a lingerie, put on some different perfume, put on makeup, change your hairstyle, etc. Go to the bedroom and tell him you're letting your friend in and that you just want to watch. When touching him, change your style. Have fun. Remember, the brain is the largest sex organ.\n\nOnce you've gone through some sort of process to spice things for him, tell him your fantasies you'd like for him to help fulfill.\n\nBest of luck to you. If nothing else, just remember to "talk".


I had a guitar custom hand-built to my specifications (Les Paul model) by an expert and it cost me $5000. It's a fucking beauty though. And yeah, everything is hand-made. Best resonance I've ever heard on a guitar. Mmmm...I better go and play.\n\nA factory built guitar probably doesn't have a high production cost since machines do a lot of the work and they are mass-produced...you can get cheap guitars for like $100 or so, so I'm assuming, even for a Fender (American Standard, which is about $700+) it won't be more than about $100 or so. Gibson is a different league...a Gibson Les Paul uses very good wood normally which is quite expensive itself.


Sometimes I really need to fart, but I'm at someone's house or at a party. Obviously, I should have done something to prevent it - but what do I do when I'm out somewhere. I don't want to be rude and gross.

Well, you can step outside for some "fresh air", excuse yourself to the bathroom...or (this option not for the faint of hart) lie on your back, throw your legs up in the air, grab a lighter, light it and stick it next to your butt, fart and shoot a flame out your butt. Keep in mind you need the right crowd for this...I suggest a crowd of drunks. Keep in mind I've only observed this...not actually participated.


Please answer the question I'm asking. Only a few people actually tried to answer my other questions (click on my avatar to see/answer them.\n\nHow do you explain the fossil record?\n\nFossils come in distinct layers of rock that differ greatly from one another. If we look in the lowest (presumably the oldest) layers, we find a world of fossils with organisims that have little in common with the ones present on the earth today.  As we go to younger (higher) layers, fossils become more like the organisims of today.  There are no flowering plants in the oldest fossils; there are no birds or mammals.  It is clear that the vast majority of the Earths history of life was very different than it is today.  How do you account for the dramatic changes?\n\n(An answer to this is NOT "fossils can't be trusted because tree fossils have been found that span many feet of rock" - those are rare local events caused by a one-time rapid deposit of sediment.)

Amidst all of the ignorance and nonsense posted in response to this question, I'm once again amazed that some of these people even know how to operate a computer.\n\nYeah, I said it.  Some days I just get fed up with you people... :(


How to shut down using TCP/IP, acommand line or a batch file.

This is a simple procedure, but is reserved for people who are smart enough to figure it out. \n\nIn other words, if you have to ask how to commit a crime, you're not smart enough to be a criminal.
