It's a dell dimension 2400, and after setting up the Microsoft Home networking, it started disconnecting internet sessions and asking to reconnect using the dialup connection

Sounds like you have a bigger problem.  Mainly your network connection must be dropping for IE to attempt dial-up.  Check the following in IE:  Tools|Internet Options|Connections\nI would guess that it says "Dial whenever a network connection is not present".  Change it to "Never Dial".\n\nThat will prevent the dial up from happening but it still sounds like your cable is the bigger problem as it is dropping your connection to cause the dial-up to connect.

i have been spinning for about 6 month in sted of lossing weight i have gained , i know that it is muscle but to me it is still counter productive

Fitness is not just about losing weight.  Like you say, you have built muscle.  Do your clothes fit better?  Are you down a size?  This should be very encouraging.  \n\nI've been on Jenny Craig for 9 months and have achieved my goal.  Now to maintain.  I've been doing cardio (spinning and walking every day) and now I'm facing doing resistance training because, as you know, your body plateaus on the same exercise over and over.\n\nWould it be possible for you to change exercise?  Instead of spinning, try the elliptical or walking or running.  Try that for 1-2 weeks and see if you start losing weight again.


Im doing a biology project. I can't seem to find anything on "What it does to the body" There are alot of pictures.. but no text.

your body becomes covered in pox, smaller than chickenpox, but in larger numbers and close together, these start in the throat and lungs and spread to the arms then the rest of the body.  very painful and irritating.


I have a fourth degree polynomial, namely:\n\ny = 0.0003x4 - 0.0272x3 + 0.6806x2 - 0.8345x + 0.5659\n\nWhen plotting this line, from points x=560 to x=790, the way that that curve looks...I want to know at what point am i going to get the greatest increase in y, with the least increase in x...do you get waht i'm saying?  At what point, like at say 700 to 701, is that where i am going to see the largest y increase with the least x increase.  I want it to be proportaional,like for example:\n\nMaybe from 700-701 is just an increase of 2 in the y direction, but if going from 703-705 i get an incrase of 5, thats more benificial for me, cause i more than doubled my input...get waht i'm saying??\n\nPlease help here, i'm not sure if i should be taking the derivitive or what.\n\nThanks

Find the derivative to get an equation for the slope and then analyze it.  If you have a positive slope for the entire range that means your slope is greatest at the highest value.  If you want to know whether or not the slope goes up and down in your range, set the derivative to zero and solve.  If any of those zero values fall within your range (no), it means that the slope has changed directions and either gone up or down.  Use that answer to evaluate your equation.

The last thing I heard was that she was dating Lenny Kravitz. Type in Alicia Keys in your search engine, and you will find many articles to reference about her.


OK, Here is the problem, I have been asked by a friend to help with a problem with their DSL. Problem NO connection at all, software was installed without disabling AV software.\nIt was installed over a month ago. \nOK I  know that had this been done recently, using system restore would work, but unless I am mistaken, system restore will not work properly when you exceed over a month. The other idea I have was to uninstall the DSL Software reinstall it correctly. \nWhat is your opinion? Has anyone had a similiar problem, if so what did you do to resolve it?\nI tried a google search and it was not giving the rigth information. \nCould you kindly share your experience and opinion

YOu don't give enough information about your system setup.\nFIrst of all, you don't need software, most likely, so dump it.\n\nIs your computer ethernet cable attached directly to the modem?  Or is there a router too?\n\nIf no router and just a modem and computer and ...\nIf the modem is lit up, showing data, then, you can try to reset the basic IP setting in the windows software.\n\nFirst step, power down the modem, and wait a minute or so. Then power it back on. Then follow the instructions below.\n\nGo to START, Run, and type in the word, COMMAND..  When at the black screen prompt, type in IPCONFIG  /RELEASE\nthere is a space between the first word and the forward slash\nThen type in IPCONFIG  /RENEW\nremember the space between the first word and the slash!\n\nAlso note that after each instruction, it might take a moment for the computer to resolve the command. \nOnce you are back at the prompt, Exit from the command line window. Now...\n\nSee if that works.  Try to connect to the internet. Does it work?  Yes?  NO?   Let me know.  Email me if you want with exact details and I will try to help.

Hey everyone...i really love this girl at school, (she's 18 and im 5 months older than her)...she showed interest in me like the first month we were hanign out..and i thought it was GREAT!  sadly i didnt really make a move right away, and "ask her out", although we did go to a movie together and such...and i thought it wouldve been kinda early to jump into a relationship..now she is showing less interest in me, and i prolly shouldve made a move, but what do i do now?  c'mon girls you know how your minds work, is she through with me?  Have i lost her forever?  i want her love back so bad!  what should i do?!@#$

ask her to hang out be yourself it could mean she likes someone else but then again it could mean that because you didnt ask her to hang again or ask her out she thinks you dont like her so start with asking her to dinner and a movie or coffee talk to her ask her to hang again if she says no well then sorry hun but if she say yes your good too go you know what to do from there!!

I like Telfair.  The jailblazers, if they ever get their shit together, will be good.  Telfair came from nothing, and he works hard. He's an example for kids to follow.  He's the perfect example of what the NBA has become, like it or not.  It's glorified ghetto ball.


I was just wondering, what is more expensive to buy food (fast food) or to make your own food...i have a power point presentation its about minimum wage earners (getting by in california) so what would be cheeper for them????

Make your own.\n\nWell, it depends on how frugal you are.  If you choose expensive foods, you could go over budget buying food to prepare at home.  \n\nThink about this:\nA pound of hamburger costs, say, $2.00.  The buns?  $2.00 a package.  With the supplies you got at the store, you could prepare 4 hamburgers w/buns for $3.00 and still have buns left over!  A prepared hamburger at McDonalds?  $2.00?  Which way can you save money?  Four hamburgers at McDonalds would cost you $8.00.  \n\nYou can choose lower priced condiments, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, etc...  Make a Whopper for less than half the money!  You can choose leaner meats.  They will cost a little more, but they will be more healthy and still not cost what a prepared fast food burger would cost.\n\nSoda?  89 cents for the store brand -- for a three liter bottle!  Taking lunch?  Reuse one soda bottle over and over with soda from the store.  You are saving a ton!  Take tap water instead and you are even further ahead!\n\nA small bag of chips at the pizza place?  99 cents!  Buy a huge bag of Lays chips for 99 cents and divide it into smaller ziplock bags.  Same serving size, but you will get several servings for the exact same money.\n\nMake it at home!\n\nAnd here is another one...  Eat steak out?  Nah.  You can buy an enormous Delmonico steak for $6.00/lb on sale.  Two servings (if each eats a whole steak) will be $12.00.  You can cook a vegetable and potato for an additional 30 cents.  Have a glass of wine for say $3.00 -- nice wine.  Put a candle on the table and a few around the room.  Put on your choice of music.  Voila!  A very nice, romantic dinner for two for less than $30.00!  And you'll have leftovers for breakfast!

I get migraines so bad that I feel like crying half the time. When I get them I usually get them on my right side right where my temple is. My eyelid becomes a little droopy, and my vision is totally blurred( just on that side, but who wants to look out of a fish tank from one side?)My eye will water and I just want to crawl into a hole and die. The pain has gotten worse over the past couple of months, and I am afraid of it could be more than migraines. My doctor only gave me medicine that slows it down, but it never really goes away. What do you think it is and what should I do?

As soon as you get even the slightest hint that you are going to get a migraine, take a dose of aspirin. When I do that, I don't get the full-blown migraine (or the accompanying pain). However, I can still tell that I'd have one if I hadn't taken the aspirin.\n\nTry to figure out what is causing your migraines so that you can avoid them that way, too. It can be different for each person. For me, it was monthly hormonal changes (so I had a pretty good clue when to expect them). For others, it can be certain foods. I had a friend once who got a migraine every time she ate anything cold, like ice cream or frozen yogurt. See if you can track down the cause and then avoid whatever causes them.\n\nIf you already have the migraine and it is a relatively mild one, sometimes they can be warded off by either taking a hot shower or soaking your feet in hot water. It has something to do with blood flow. The hot shower worked for me several times.\n\nAlso, and I know this is really gross so bear with me, when a migraine becomes bad enough, you will become nauseous and then throw up. And then, voile!, the migraine will disappear. (At least this has been true for me and for others I've spoken with.) So, if all else fails and you're in the middle of a terrible migraine and you just want it to STOP, I suggest working on the computer or reading a book. For me, this speeds up the process to reaching nausea and then blessed relief. And, no, throwing up isn't pleasant. But sometimes it is better than the alternative of feeling like your head is going to explode.


but.....she doesn't want to hang out with me anymore. also we have known each other since we were babies.  what should i do?

Let her go. Have a talk with her and if she does'nt give just say: I'm hurt by what your doing to me but if you really feel that way and really don't care, that's fine with me! Bye!


Current thinking claims that it is smiltaneously a wave and a particle, this is based on a famous experiment, where particles are aimed at a barrier with 2 slits, the particles that pass through the slits exhibit wave like interference after the barrier (just like the experiments you might have done with waves in a tank of water)\n\nhttp://www.hotquanta.com/twinslit.html\n\nIf you think the above idea is wrong spend some time thinking why and what sounds better!\n\nThis question is purely aimed at prompting some original thinking in this area with no emphasis on right or wrong assumptions, and no pressure on fancy sounding talk, keep your answers relatively simple.  If you are a complete novice to science, think about it for a little and try your best, it's your answers I'm looking for!\n\nFor all you science buffs out there who think you know the answer based on what you learned at college or out of a book, that's not what I'm looking for, try to think outside the box. Use your imagination!

A BEAM of particles behaves like a wave\nas you know. The wavelength is h/mv.  (De Broglie)\nInteresting is your question: do moving partikels create a wave? I cannot say yes or no. I will think about it very carefully. fd_r@yahoo.com\n\nAdded later. You suggest space/time is waving.\nTo me space and time are nothing physically. It is only fantasy in man’s brain and it works usefully.\nEinstein is talking about curved space. I cannot imagine that. I can only understand curved matter like a rubber ball and a standing wave in a string of a guitar. I cannot grab space and bend it.\nIn the same way I cannot visualise the concept of an oscillation of space, so an oscillation of nothing.\nMore acceptable for me is an electromagnetic wave as a cluster of oscillations of the electric and magnetic field.\nI do not reject your concept of waving space/time. I only cannot imagine. Maybe I am too simply minded. Maybe with waving space/time there is a field, not electromagnetic, because a beam of neutrons shows wave behaviour as well. What kind of field? Gravitational? I do not know.


hi,i'm 15.i fall in love with a girl for 2 years until now.but she is 16.and now i say it to her:"I LOVE YOU!!!".but she reject because she said she had no feeling with me and she already had a boyfriend.she said she just wanna be my friend.after i hear she said,i was so sad&crying in the room alone.what should i do?just leave her or keep chasing her?

She was honest enough to tell you how she really feels. You deserve to move on and find somebody who will want you. Do NOT become a stalker by continuing to chase her after she told you she is not interested. I know your feelings are hurt, but she already has a boyfriend and told you so, so in all fairness, you need to move on. There are more girls out there.

Parent "A" believes in organic/vegatarian diet and herbal treatment for illness.  Parent "B" feeds the child a "typical" diet including meat and follows the advice of the pediatrician regarding medications... who believes that FDA approved meds should be used rather than herbal alternatives.  The child resides with parent "B."

The parents need to work that out together.  They should still be a team when it comes to parenting even if they are no longer married.  That is part of being grown ups and parents.

I've decided to ask for the hand in marriage of a prostitute transvestite I have been seeing for 2 years, she will stop once we get married and undergo a sex change operation.  I want to know where I can marry her and where she can get an operation to remove the wiener.  \n\nI told my best friend and he thinks I'm out of my mind, and says he will not support my decision.  He tells me your a very attractive young man that any women would want.  I just cant avoid the attraction to transgendered girls, its too strong, should I proceed with the marriage or get counseling.  I think the counseling will help, but will it change who I really am inside? thats why I think it might be bad for me. What do you guys think.

councelling for sure......... then proceed as planned if needed.

Can anybody throw light on What is SHC (Spontaneous Human Combustion)

It is supposed to be a mysterious, sudden ignition that almost magically destroys all or most of a human body without damaging nearby items.\n\nHowever, it has been well documented that this phenomenon can happen under some pretty common conditions.\n\nTake a roughly humanish mammal, and rig it up so they don't move and/or do not react to the pain in time. Drunkeness or drugs usually does it for humans. Illness or even death by other causes will suffice as well.\n\nMake sure the body is wrapped in or sitting on a flammable material that can absorb the greases released during the process, then act as a wicking material to keep the fires going at relatively low levels.\n\nIgnite the fabric (many cases of SHC involve smokers). As the fabric and body start to burn, the relatively low-temp heat will release body fat (most victims of SHC are also overweight), which goes into the fabic, often a chair, and continues to feed the flame.\n\nThe key factors here are: lots of time- it will take a while to do this (most cases of SHC had plenty of time to work); and the wicking effect to ensure that the fire never goes out. it needs to keep going until the fats and other flammables are consumed.\n\nInterestingly, the low temps of the fire limit the damage caused outside the area soaked in fats- one of the big mysteries in SHC. Not even much smoke is produced!\n\nThis was shown on CSI, and on some investigative reports as well, using pigs. The factors needed for the experiments to work are present in almost every case of SHC.

We are dissecting the frog today in school

Not necessarily. A lot of people assume the blood and guts and all other types of stuff will ooze out and junk like that but in reality this is not so. Usually the blood is already drained out, and the inside is actually clean, (although smelly) to allow you to clearly see all of the parts and so forth. It can be quite interesting actually.

As more and more cheating or diving happens in the game, the FA and Fifa must take note and implement harsher penalties but what do you think the penalty for simulation should be?

I don't know if they already do it, but AFTER each match, why can't they look at video evidence for every foul that was committed (and awarded by the referee)? If it can be unanimously agreed by some football committee that it is indeed a dive, then the player gets suspended x number of matches.\n\nFor repeat offenses, the suspension gets longer etc... then players should be less willing to dive, because they know that they can't trick the cameras and that it'll mean suspension for many matches.\n\nThe only problem with this is that players may still choose to dive for important matches (e.g. cup ties), but if he could be suspended at least 2-3 matches for the dive, at least the player should think twice (especially if that means that the player will lose match fitness and possibly the place in the national team?)\n\nJust a suggestion.

i had a girlfriend that loved to have sex.I was with her for 4 years. I had sex with her a lot. maybe twice to three times a day. Now i live in az and dont see her often. we broke up but see each other every once in a while. now i can't stop thinking about sex, so i found a new girlfriend and she doesn,t have much time, so sometime i masturbate. Is that normal or is that being perverted or ?

You are alive so I would say that is quite normal. If you were dead you would feel nothing and have no desires.


i am extremely bothered by all the ignorance in the worl. does it bother anyone else? i mean come on people educate yourself. how hard can it be. if you are going to make an opinion or stance on a subject shouldnt you know both sides to an argument and possibly consider the other persons opinion?

You are my hero. \nAlas, but for the fool. Ignorance may be overcome with education, However, stupidity is a life-long endeavor.


Why do people think you are insane if you believe in things that either improbable or against mainstream religion?\n\nThis actually happened to my cousin.  Whe she was fifteen, she told her parents that she heard voices and thought that they were spirits of dead people that needed her help.  Her parents put her in a mental institution and pumped her full of anti-psychotics.  She's never gotten over it or forgiven her parents for it, but she still believes she has this ability.  I think that she may be telling the truth.

Good question. \n\nStart with the premise that people fear what they don't understand. Even though the Bible is full of examples of people talking with angels and the occasional demon, mainstream religion seems to think (or hope) that it doesn't happen any more. \n\nWith the advent of psychology, we've realized that SOME people who hear voices just aren't quite all there, and they actually do have some mental illness affecting them. More fundamental people will argue with this and say that all mental illness is really the result of demonic possession, but that would imply that all mental illness affects people negatively, which doesn't seem to be true. \n\nSo now you also have church versus science in the mix. \n\nAnd there are parents who are seriously scared when ANYTHING happens to their kids, understandably, and just want it to get better fast. Spending time with a religious advisor discussing these things and having that person work with your cousin is time they don't want to spend!\n\nIf she has no reason to lie, you can probably trust her about this. But there are differences of opinion about what she should do about it. Technically speaking, dead people don't need help - it's a bit late. I'm not saying it's true in every case, but there are plenty of times when the voices ask for help, but then demand more. You have to consider the risk! If this is her ability, it's also her choice how to use it.

I roll my own cigarettes and the tobacco always seems to dry out in the can before I can use it all.

Two answers:\n1) Put all the tobacco in a Ziplock bag and squeeze all the air out before sealing each time.\n2) Add an orange peel to the can, but not too many as excess moisture can create mold on the tobacco


IF SO...  Did you keep it ( still have it ?) and do you feel that it actually did bring you good luck ?

We were at school one day.....this was wow I guess three years ago. We were at recess and I'm sitting in a patch of grass with three little girls and we were doing nothing but talking and looking for four leaf clovers. Well....we started finding mutant 5 leafers.......we ended up finding like about 8 of them. It must have been some mutant patch that had sprung up. Well.........trust me, they aren't good luck.

WMP version 10, and I have tried everything to display lyrics while a track is playing, but none worked. Using the advanced tag editor, I entered the lyrics and when the song is played, the media window shows nothing.

I think you have to turn on captions/subtitles.  Go to:  Play > Captions and Subtitles > On if Availiable.

Again the goverment rewards those who have not been loyal to a job, but those who are moving around looking for their niche in life. It won't be long before minimum wages are higher than the wages of someone who has worked a job for over 20 years. What about them?

Minimum wage is not necessarily a bad thing. Imagine if you will, what would happen if there were no minimum wage. There are a number of companies today that pay there entry level employees minimum wage. (Usual manual labor or low skill level jobs) If there were no minimum wage, these companies would pay their employees less. If minimum wage is currently $5.15/hr I believe. So am employee making minimum wage works 50 hors per week, that's 40 regular hours at $5.15 ($206.00) and 10 over time at $7.725 ($77.25) per hour, then they would earn $283.25 pre week. That's about $1,133.00 per month. Depending on where you live, that's the coast of an apartment... In some places, it not enough for an apartment. Since I live in Central Delaware, let me us this local as an example. \nIncome: $1,133 /mo\nTaxes:  $113.00 / mo (10% based on regular hours)\nStarting Cash: $1,000.00\nCheep, run down one bedroom apartment:  $500.00 /mo\nCar insurance of an old car:                       $ 65.00 /mo\nElectric, assuming low usage:                     $ 65.00 /mo\nHome Phone, assuming no extras               $ 35.00 /mo\nFuel for Car, assuming used for work only   $ 60.00 /mo\nGroceries fro one Assuming frugality           $250.00 /mo\nTOTAL:                                                    $975.00 /mo\nRemainder: (For emergencies, savings, \nRecreation, etc...)                                     $ 25.00 /mo\n\nGranted, that at the end of the year, this person would receive a tax refund of about $5,891.60, but that doesn’t help this person on a daily bases the rest of the year. \n\nNow, consider that these same companies provide an average of a 6% raise per year. (The nation average last Time I checked was just over 3% but I'm trying to make a point) After the employees first year with the company, they would be earning 1,200.98 per month. After 5 years, they would be earning 1516.21 per month. Assuming that the cost of living went up only 2% each year, below the national average I might add, after five years, the employee in question would now have an amazing $436.42 per month unaccounted for. This means that this person could now get basic cable, purchase better groceries. (I'm q single guy and I shop fairly conservatively and I still spend nearly 350 per month on groceries and things for the apartment.) If you include this basic changes to his life style, this employee, after 5 years of working hard would have less then 286.42 per month for things other then daily living. This does not include many of the normal things most Americans enjoy such as a cell phone, internet access, etc. \n\nOkay, that's WITH a minimum wage. Imagine if there was no minimum wage an companies started hiring people at 3.00 per hour. Assuming 50 hours again, that's only $165.00 per week or about 660 per month. That doesn’t cover food and shelter. If these people were to work 2 minimum wage jobs, 40 hours each, they would still only have 960.00 per month.  That still doesn’t cover the basic listed above in this area, and if you think that companies would not take advantage of people this way, you have a lot to learn about American businesses. \n\nMany American companies are not above keeping employees as close to minimums they can. In fact, there are many companies now that reward proficiency and hard work with termination. With the "At Will"\n laws in many states today, if an employee mentions the word, union, they are terminated on the spot, and it's legal. Add to that the fact that these same companies periodically fire members of there senior staff because these people 'make too much money' because they have been around too long and know too much and you have some major unfair business practices. But that is a different issue. My point is that these companies would exploit people to no end if it weren't for the minimum wage law.


I welcome all and any of you to list what you think ol'Dubya has done to improve the US of A since his term in office. Or feel free to compare America pre Bush as opposed to post Bush.

Is the Canadian government responsible for making sure that kids especially are fed and taken care of? I don't know how, with all our rights and freedoms, that they can enforce what goes on in every household.

Basic, nutritious, unprocessed food is not expensive. If children go hungry, it is because their lazy parient/s spend money on smokes, booze, drugs and gambling.

Okay, so I understand if you are seeing a doctor and want opinions or if you have set up an appointment to see a doctor and need advice to keep you sane through the waiting.  That make sense to me.  But why do people say stuff like, "I have a piercing, unbearable pain in my stomach that doubles me over? What should I do?"\n\nPain is your body's way of saying "Hey. We need some help in here!"  If there is pain that causes you serious discomfort why would you wait to seek help?\n\nMy question is, are these people so naive to think serious pain is normal or are they afraid of seeing a doctor for no reason or what?

I don't get it either.  The amount of simply and completely wrong answers/advice is staggering.  I like this forum for certain things, such as:\n"I have been diagnosed with Condition X, where can I get more info?"  OR "I have Condition Y, have you dealt with it, and do you have any helpful hints?"\nBut the people who expect to be diagnosed here are not doing themselves a great service.  I wonder how many people have done that, got a totally erroneous answer, then had complications because they did not seek treatment.  It can be very dangerous.\nI am sure all of the reasons listed above account for some of the answers.  I have also noticed many young people who are totally unaware of what their bodies do or where to find reputable info about such.  I guess that has to do with shame, embarrassment or simply don't want my parents to know syndrome....


Claudius can complete a manuscript in 24 days. Lucius can complete the same manuscript in 2/3 of that time. Tiberius can complete a manuscript in 1/2 the time of Lucius. How long would it take Claudius, Lucius, and Tiberius to complete a manuscript if they worked together?


Is it true that the story that Mary was a virgin is the result of a mistranslation? \n\nDoesn't that mean that Jesus was not the son of God?\n\nAnd how does that make you feel?

There are many millions of people who believe the Bible to be the inspired word of God. millions who regard this book as a torch that conquers the darkness of death, and pours its radiance on another world. They forget that it imprisons the brain and corrupts the heart. They forget that it is the enemy of intellectual freedom. They forget its ignorance and savagery, its hatred of liberty, its religious persecution; they remember heaven, but they forget the dungeon of eternal pain. They forget that it imprisons the brain and corrupts the heart\nIt is now not only admitted by intelligent and honest theologians that Moses was not the author of the Pentateuch, but they all admit that no one knows who the authors were, or who wrote any one of these books, or a chapter or a line. We know that the books were not written in the same generation; that they were not all written by one person; that they are filled with mistakes and contradictions. It is also admitted that Joshua did not write the book that bears his name, because it refers to events that did not happen until long after his death. \n\nBasically it does not matter how you translate it. It all boils down to what you believe and can live with. If you believe the Bible is inspired by God, then read it and make your own decision on which translation suits you.

like the three point line and free throw line   how far away are they from the basket

NBA and College – 94 feet long and 50 feet wide \nHigh School – 84 feet long and 50 feet wide \nJunior High – 74 feet long and 42 feet wide \n\nThe Foul Line: \n\nFor all courts the “foul line” distance is 15 feet from the foul line to the front of the backboard. This measurement is commonly confused as from the center of the basket and front of the rim. \n\nThe Key: \n\nStandard for all basketball courts, “the key” (sometimes called “the lane”) is 12 feet wide. Regulation courts have the backboard extending out 4 feet over the baseline into the key. A 6 foot arc (half circle) extends from the foul line away from the basket to complete the key. \n\nThe 3 Point Line (Arc): \n\nCollege and High School Basketball Courts – the 3 point arc is 19 feet 9 inches, with a straight line extending out 5 feet 3 inches (63 inches) from the baseline. Past those points the line extends 19 feet 9 inches from the center of the rim. \n\nNBA Basketball Courts – the 3 point arc is 22 feet to the center of the rim on the sides with a straight line extending out 16 feet 9 inches from the baseline. Past those points the line extends out 23 feet 9 inches from the center of the rim. \n\nThe Backboard and Rim: \n\nThe regulation distance from the ground to the top of the rim is 10 feet for all levels of play. Regulation backboards are 6 feet wide (72 inches) by 42 inches tall. All basketball rims (hoops) are 18 inches in diameter. The inner square on the backboard is 24 inches wide by 18 inches tall. \n\nAll line markings on the floor are 2 inches wide and can vary in color.

I've always wanted to enter law school. How exactly do you get in? Do you need extra activities? Do you have to to take the LSAT? Please tell me some info I should know before I think about applying! thanks

you should visit www.lsac.org they have lots of good info to help you get started.  All ABA approved schools require the LSAT.  Extra curricular activities are nice, but to tell you the truth most schools weigh your GPA and LSAT higher than your personal statement, letters of rec, and resume.  However, it is good to build the strongest application possible in all areas, since law school is getting extremely more competitive.\n\nYou can contact the careers office at your undergraduate university and they can help you get started. (If you're already graduated they may charge you).  Also Kaplan or another test prep company usually can give you info about the test and give you some helpful advice about applying.\n\nAlso be sure to visit the website of any school you are interested in, they will usually have an applicaton online so you can see what they require.


If you receive a cash settlement as part of a divorce, do you report that as income on your taxes?

That depends.  If the cash was to pay off certain items or to share your 1/2 of the assets, then no.  If it's for some sort of back pay for spousal support, then you do have to claim it.

aster Cancelled This Year!\n\nJerusalem, April 15, 1995- -Archeologists who have been excavating\nin the hills above Jerusalem announced today the discovery of\na 2000-year-old mummy bearing puncture wounds through the hands\nand feet and a deep laceration in the lower left chest. Scientists\nnoted that there was a large accumulation of blood in the lower\nbody, consistent with the body having been upright at the time\nof death. Carbon dating of the body and its burial shroud indicated\ndeath had occurred 1990 +-95 years ago. The archeologists stated\nthat in spite of its age, the body was well preserved in the dry\nair of the hidden, sealed cave.\n\nA senior archeologist, asked if this was the body of Jesus Christ,\nrefused to comment, but agreed that "the evidence is not\ninconsistent with that hypothesis." A younger archeologist,\nwho requested anonymity, said "This is the corpse of Christ.\nPeriod. They're just going to have to cancel Easter this year."

I'm not sure which I find more hliarious, that Patzy calls your article, "bullshit facts" yet there isn't a damn thing to prove God exists that isn't strung together inconsitencies and things that are unexplainable, or the fact that MommaToldMeNotToCome has no ability to read the article and see when the article you posted in fact written.  Fact is, no one should be calling anyone elses beliefs bullshit.  \n\nAs for your question, it could be.  There is no way to tell.  Lots of people were crucified at that time and what happened to Jesus wasn't special.  He was one of many.  \n\nAnd Susenjungle, the Shroud of Turin wasn't used by mary Magdelen to wipe Jesus face, it was what was laid over his body after the crucifiction and due to the oils the body secretes during the ordeal made an stain of his face and body on it.  I have some good books on the subject if you are interested, let me know!  I love sharing books!


a square is divided into 5 congurent rectangles(4 lines going down to make 5 rectangles). if the perimeter of each rectangles is 30 units, what is the perimeter of the square. \n\nAdditional Details\n\nMar 4, 2006 at 12:30 pm\ntell me how u found the answer\n\nMar 4, 2006 at 1:14 pm\nim 100% sure it is not 150unites\n\nMar 4, 2006 at 1:15 pm\nor 120 unite\n\nMar 4, 2006 at 1:17 pm\ntell me what grade you r in, so i can choose the answer base on your grade

The perimeter of the square is 50 units\n\nThere are 5 rectangles that means the ratio of length to width has to be 5 to 1\nTherefore since each rectangle has a 5 to 1 ratio and a perimeter of 30 they are all 12.5 units by 2.5 units. (12.5 x 2 is 25, 2.5 x 2 is 5, 25 + 5 = 30)\nThe length of each side of the square is 12.5. 12.5 x 4 is 50 units

I've been dating him for a year. Every time I want to have sex he doesn't. Also when we do its only for 5/10 min and it sucks.I was his first, but after 7 months shouldn't it be good. He would rather read a book and fall asleep on me then please me, and I also know what I'm doing and tried everything in the book. Nothing will work!!!!!!!And the foreplay he does also sucks!!!!

Maybe he's not sexually attracted to you. Ask him, that is the only way you will find out. You are not a mind reader.


someone has been prank phone calling/hang up calls me for at least a month and it's really gotten on my nerves so i called them back and said tell me who this is or im calling the police but they didn't. So who do i report this to? I'm so not putting up with it anymore.

Fiirst the phone company, get your number changed if you have to and then report it to the police.  Ask the phone company to trace where the calls are coming from or get a incoming calls listing from the phonne company.\n\nHope this helps.  good luck


I hear that girls preferr a smaller penis when given head (oral s*x). But that girls preferr a larger penis for actual intercourse. Being a Freshman in high school I haven't had the privilage of experiencing this for my little ole' self. \n\nShould I be worried that my size won't satisify her???

i heard that your pee goes almost foggy , is this true?

Yes that is true, and it will almost burn while your going to the bathroom, there are ways to treat yourself if you feel one coming on, go to the store and get 100% cranberry juice, it has clensing affects on your bladder and urinary tract (which can get infected also) if you cant muster it up to drink the juice you can go to the supplements isle at walmart and get cranberry pills, its just concentrated juice in a pill. Lay off drinking pop (or soda whatever you like to call it) and drink lots of water. you should be good to go, i forget but there is a test and treatment you can buy at a local drug store/pharmacy, go ask your local pharmasist and ask him where it is and what its called, sorry i dont remember the name

I need a list of swear words for a report.

Found a few things for ya .. http://www.insultmonger.com/swearing/  .. also .. (copied from the site and links placed below) .. Dictionaries of slang and swear words\nI had a problem these days because I didn't know the meaning of a swear word and asked what the word meant, but some people complained. After that incident I searched for some help and found it on Urban Dictionary. It is a slang dictionary with thousands of words and growing. But I searched for more and found The Alternative English Dictionary - Slang, profanities, insults and vulgarisms from all the world. A nice place to find not so nice words, it has a a PDF version, useful for vacations.\n\nAnd there is more: a swearsaurus: The Art of Insults. Offensive jokes, an insulting slang dictionary, the world's largest multilingual swearing archive of 165 languages, random insult generators - you'll find them all here. I took a look on Brazilian Portuguese Language Swear Words page and I had some surprises. I didn't know many of the words and expressions of the list and I can't use most of them, because they are too rude for my taste, even when I'm very angry. I tried also the Portuguese Language Swear Words list but didn't find some of my favourite expressions (no, I won't write them here).\n\nPosted by Bibi at August 14, 2005 07:30 PM in Language

strings or so i think is what they are called are suposely smaller then atoms has any one heard of this ?

STRING THEORY, is one of the theories of modern sciences where it states that every thing in this universe is made of strings. The visual and other evidence of differences in objects is how the strings are. For example, longer strings mean more red color (this is a hypothetical example.) \nString Theory was predicted to give solutions to lot of problems in modern Physics. It has not ben proved yet, thus is not a complete true science yet.


A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother meets a guy whom she does not know and falls madly in love with him instantly.

her motive for killing her sister was so that she can find the man who was at her mother's funeral possibly knowing that he may know her sister as well and attend the funeral so that this time she can get that man??? i think that can be a possible answer

Why do people hate God and Christians so much?  And do they really have nothing better to do with their lives than to express this hatred?  If you hate, fine, but why not find something you love, like, or even tolorate and focus on the possitive in that rather than fill the world with more hate?

They hate us (Christians) and God because Jesus said they would.\n\nJohn 15:18 (NIV)\n"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words  I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master. Because they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.They will treat you this way becasue of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my father as well. If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have heard both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their law: They hated me without reason.'"\n\nSo if/when you are persecuted, count it an honor. It is because you belong to the Lord and are one with Him also. God bless you my brother. :)

I am just curious why all are animals except this DRAGON? Why did the Chinese included Dragon? A mythical creature.\nIt could have been a CAT or a RACCOON.. but why DRAGON?\nand they considered it as the luckiest zodiac of all?\nHmmm... wait,,,, could it be a comodo dragon?\nheheh

The dragon is sometimes viewed in the West as a national emblem of China.Firstly, this is because the dragon was the sign of the Emperor, and was on the national flag of the late Qing dynasty.Chinese dragons are strongly associated with water in popular belief. They are believed to be the rulers of moving bodies of water, such as waterfalls, rivers, or seas. They can show themselves as water spouts (tornado or twister over water). In this capacity as the rulers of water and weather, the dragon is more anthropomorphic in its form, often depicted as a humanoid, dressed in a king's costume, but with a dragon head wearing a king's headdress.\n\nIt is said that 2 dragons, v long ones, (dont know names) , best friends, had a fight, and went opp ways. while they were going, their bodies made long, deep holes, which were filled with water, and known as rivers later. \n\nChinese dragon evolved to become a mythical animal. By the Han Dynasty, the dragon's appearance is described as having a body of a snake; the scales and tail of a fish; the antlers of a stag; the face of a camel; and two pairs of talons of eagles; ears of a bull; feet of a tiger and the eyes of a demon. It has a flaming pearl under its chin. Chinese dragons are occasionally depicted with bat-like wings growing out of the front limbs, but most do not have wings.\n\nThis description accords with the artistic depictions of the dragon down to the present day. By this time, the dragon has also acquired a wide range of super-natural powers. It is said to be able to disguise itself as a silkworm, or be so large that it covers the sky. It can fly among the clouds or hide in water (Guanzi). It can form clouds, can turn into water or fire, can become invisible or glow in the dark (Shuowen Jiezi).\n\nThere are four major Dragon Kings, one representing each of the four seas, being the East Sea (corresponding with the East China Sea), South Sea (corresponding with the South China Sea), West Sea (sometimes seen as the Indian Ocean and beyond), and North Sea (sometimes seen as Lake Baikal).


like in the movies Matrix, terminator, iRobot, and 2010 (i think).  could there be a program that can make unique decisions(not random).  today's AI is just a logical processor based on cummulative statistics (correct me if im wrong).

To put the question in an operational way, you should first define what you mean as "self-awareness".\nSuppose tomorrow I give you a machine that I claim is self-aware. How do you plan to decide whether the machine is truly self-aware or is a fake?\nAlan Turing, in his famous paper of 1950 (see reference), proposed a simple test to decide that. The Turing test is still a reference framework for the AI.\n\nIf you accept (as I do) the rationale of the Turing test, your question is now well-posed.\nSaid that, my personal opinion is that there is no specific reason why a machine cannot pass the Turing test. It's only matter of time. Remember, some decades ago, Chess playing was considered the hard frontier of AI. Today you can get free or low-cost programs capable to win over most human Chess Masters.

I'm single and would like to fall in love but what if I fall in love just because I want to not because its the real thing?

in the long run love dosnt last if it is a feeling. a long way down the road you will be disaponted if you expect that feeling to stay but it will pop up from time to make you feel good. i think love should be a commitiment to treat some one well. a feeling can become selfish some times and make you do dumb things but it is still lot of fun.


what do yall think will happen when the wraith arrive at earth when the rest of humanity dont know about them because of stargate command.

I didn't watch the season finale of Atlantis, but given the problems the crew of SG-1 are facing, I doubt the Wraith will get there before being stopped by Sheppard and his team.\n\nIt's not much different than the episode of SG-1 where Anubis attacked from orbit and destroyed a carrier group in the ocean: a cover story was fabricated after the crisis was over to keep the world from knowing how close they were to annihilation.\n\nOr when Apophis' ships attacked... or when Anubis sent an asteroid on a collision course with Earth... or when the Ori plague swept the globe... or...

I just moved from NY to GA. My allergies are going crazy; puffy eyes, runny nose, itchy ears & throat. I already take Loratidine 10 mg. daily. Anything else, over-the-counter, that is effective?\nThanx.

I don't know what to tell you. I have constant allergies so I feel your pain. I've been to many doctors about my problems and they all throw allegra or nasal sprays (which don't work cuz I have a deviated septum) at me. Prescriptions aren't worth it anyway because they're so expensive. I take Loratadine 10 mg daily also (which is generic Claritin) and it gives some relief. Also, I recommend(which I also do) you take Benadryl on very bad days (if you can handle it knocking you out all day) where the Loratadine doesn't quite do it for you. The only other thing I can think of, which I haven't tried yet, is homeopathic medicine. I have used homeopathic medicines in the past for my son and have had wonderful results. There is a company that I use frequently called Hyland's and they make a slew of homeopathic medicines for almost any ailment you can think of. They do make a homeopathic allergy medicine. You can start at luckyvitamin.com to check out homeopathic remedies or do a search for Hyland's homeopathic allergy relief/medicine. Good luck and I hope you feel better.

the most important thing to a mother is what?\nThe most important thing to a child is what?\nThe most important thing to a father is what?\n\nsee if you can make one into two and two into one. First right answer gets 10 pts.

Irrespective of the question : \n\nThe most important thing to a mother is her child. (One cannot deny that.) \n\nThe most important thing to a father is his family. (His wife and children and ofcourse his mother. Maybe, he loves his children more than his wife and/or his mother.) \n\nBut the most important thing to a child (in the world today - not the ideal/utopian scenario) is (correction are ) his/her - friends. (Accept it, deny it, reject it, trash it, bash it. Most of the time, when you are a kid, you cannot tell your family your innermost secrets and dreams. So, the peer group becomes more important than family)

Basically, I've been approved for a business card in my name with a $14K line of credit, but since I can fit all of my business expenses on my personal cards without using more than 50% of my personal line, I'm wondering whether it wouldn't be smarter to keep using my personal cards and paying them off on time to boost my personal credit.  Does the usage and payment of business cards help boost my personal credit?

a business card in your name would still count towards your credit score (boosts it if you're good with payments, lowers it if you're not.) If you own your own business then it's a good way to keep track of you business expenses. Keep in mind that having too many credit cards can be potentially harmful (e.g. if you spend more than you earn) so take some time to review the interest rates/fees/bonus features of each credit card and just keep one/two that are the best ones for your needs.


in percentage plaeas, how much is lost through the walls, doors, windows, floor etc. of an ordinary home?

It all depends on the house.  If you have a very well built house with double paned windows, high quality insulation, and other quality variables your percentages will be completely different than someone that has a badly insualtated raised house with poorly caulked windows and such.

I like to know how much you know about persia.

Persia has long been used by the West to describe the nation of Iran, its people, or its ancient empire. It derives from the ancient Greek name for Iran's maritime province called Fars in the modern Persian language and Pars in Middle Persian. Persis is the Hellenized form of Pars, based on which other European nations termed the area Persia.\n\nThis area was the core of the original Persian Empire. Most foreigners referred to the state as Persia until March 21, 1935 when Iran formally asked the international community to call the country by its native name. Seemingly, the Aryan tribes who formed the country in the Achaemenid era united the plateau in that region and called the country Iran at its birth.\n\nIn 1959, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, before his removal from power announced that both Persia and Iran can be used interchangeably.\nFrom the humble brick, to the windmill, Persians have mixed creativity with art. What follows is a list of some of the cultural contributions of Iran. The list is not meant as a device for displaying chauvinism or bellicism, but rather as a means to convey and illustrate the statement that as with many other ancient civilizations, Iran/Persia is proud to be a long-serving contributor to humanity and its heritage.\n\n\nFAMOUS PERSIAN THINGS\n(10,000 BC)Earliest known domestication of the goat. \n\n(6000 BC) - The brick. The oldest brick found to date are Persian, from ca. 6000 BC. \n(5400 BC) - Wine. Earliest known cultivation of the grape, and fermentation of wine 5400 BC \n(5000 BC) - Development of the guitar \n(3000 BC) - The ziggurat. The Sialk ziggurat predates that of Ur or any other of Mesopotamia's 34 ziggurats. \n(2000 BC) - Peaches are a fruit of Persian origin, as indicated by their Latin name, persica, from which (by way of the French) we have the English "peach."  \nTulips were first cultivated in ancient Persia \n(1700 BC) - The windmill. \n(1400 BC) - The game of Backgammon appears in the east of Iran. \n(1400 BC to 600 BC) - Zoroastrianism, a religion which had an important impact on Judaism, and thus indirectly, on Christianity and Islam. Some experts however, claim that Zoroaster was actually born in 6184BC, and was himself a follower of the religion called Mehr introduced by Mehabad who lived 3593 years before Zoroaster i.e. 9700 BC or 11705 years ago (retroactive 2005). [11] [12] It should be noted that Zoroaster himself was not an ethnic Persian, but (possibly) an ethnic Bactrian who were closely related to Persians. \n(576 BC to 529 BC) - Under the rule of Cyrus II the Great, the Cyrus Cylinder was issued. It was discovered in 1879 in Babylon and today is kept in the British Museum. [13] [14] \n(576 BC to 529 BC) - Under the rule of Cyrus II the Great, Cyrus frees the Jews from Babylonian captivity. See Cyrus in the Judeo-Christian tradition. \n(521 BC) - The game Polo.[15] \n([500 BC]) The courrier post. [16] [17] \n(500 BC) - Source for introduction of the domesticated chicken into Europe. \n(500 BC) - First cultivation of spinach \n \nAn ancient ice house, called a yakhchal, built in Kerman, Iran, for storing ice during summers.(400 BC) - Yakhchals , ancient refrigerators. (See picture above) \n(400 BC) - Ice Cream [18] [19] \n(250 BC) - According to archelogical digs, the Parthians created the world's first batteries. Their original use is still uncertain, though it is suspected that they were used for electroplating. [20] \n(250 BC) Original excavation of a Suez Canal. [21] [22] \n(271 AD) - The teaching hospital \n(700 AD) - The Cookie. \n([762 AD]) - Designing Baghdad: The original city was based on Persian precedents such as Firouzabad in Persia. The two designers who were hired by the caliph al-Mansur to plan the city were Nowbakht, a former Persian Zoroastrian, and Mashallah, a former Jew from Khorasan, Iran. (p 10) \n(864 AD-930 AD) - First systematic use of alcohol in Medicine: Rhazes. [23] \n(1000 AD) - Introduction of paper to the west

If any lady interesting in dating, e-mail me!!!

I think that number one, the internet is a stupid place for dating someone or finding someone. You have to be patient and the right one will just come along. Dont expect to find the one on the net, Trust me.. I dated a guy that I met over yahoo msnger for like 3 years and he was a total ass and a mistake, NOT GOOD! There was things I didnt even know about him that he could hide from me for a long time and I probably wouldnt have ever found out! You dont really get to know the person when you meet them on the net.. they can be fake really easy! Id say that half the ppl that answer these questions on here are fake just to get points but you can only trust a selected few. But anyways dont net date... K!? Later and GOOD LUCK


What about moon? How moon rotate around earth? Anti-clockwise or clockwise? Is moon rotate around earth as west to east direction?

to imagine it, it would be very difficult. I suggest you experiment on it. Try using 3 ball, one for the sun, one for the earth, and another for the moon. Now do hte things you think. \nBut for me, the earth spins on its axis east to west and revolves the sun at east to west direction. EWhile the moon also revolves the earth at an east to west direction.


after 4 years of stoppng his drug habit he had a mild heart attack and currently on heart medication although  no permanent damage thank god

Let me see....you're on heart medications and your asking a potentially dangerous question to strangers.  I would advise you to ask your cardiologist. No need to be embarrassed, but it depends on the drugs used, the frequency, the dosage , any damage done to the heart by these drugs, and factor in the physical stress of having sex. Your medical advisor will answer these questions, but you gotta ask. Don't trust your life to a stranger who probably has no medical training, and doesn't care that you may drop dead in the arms of your intended lover.

i saw madeas family reunion last weekend and i want to know a song title or who sings it, but its not on the soundtrack, its just a song that played while it came on. where can i find out what that song was on the net?

if you go to yahoo movies look up the movie and they will tell you all the songs that were played and by who. also you can go to a music store that has a computer where you can type in songs by using a few lines from a song and they will give you the names of the arties and titles. It worked for me at a music stop place.


I am trying to start a home based errand service and I would like some idea of what I would need to get started (i.e. materials, cost, insurance etc.) Also, how long would something like this take to get off the ground? What would be the logistics of hiring outside help? Any info that can be provided would be very much appreciated. Thanks

A personal assistant’s job involves performing routine errands for clients, such as picking up dry cleaning, buying the dinosaur cake for the little tyke, and so on. With the rise of two-income families, working people nowadays seldom have the time to do life’s little chores. If you do not mind performing these little tasks and enjoy doing something different each day, this is a business with excellent growth potential.\n\nCreativity and flexibility are the key qualities to establish a successful personal assistant business. You need to have strong affinity with people and a lot of imagination to make ordinary mundane things seem so special, even magically obtain tickets to a sold-out concert that your client craves. Think of yourself as a personal concierge. The most important component of this business is finding your target audience, which often consists of busy executives and working people. To reach this market, you can place ads in your local newspapers, write an article about this service, and send press releases to generate publicity for your business. You can also choose to personally visit a lot of businesses and drop off your brochure.\n\nStart-up costs can range from $500 to $2,500, depending on the equipment you already have. You will need a computer, fax machine, Internet access, pagers and cell phones. Another possible start-up expense includes the cost of bonding and insurance to protect you in the event of accident, theft or mishap. You can expect to earn gross revenues of $50,000 to $75,000 and up, depending on the services you provide and the clients you target. You can charge clients with a variety of membership fees based on the nature of service and number of requests per month. You can charge for family or individual membership, a corporate membership for companies to give their employees, and a one-time service fee. Remember though, that whatever you purchase for your clients are billed to them.\n\nI recommend that you check the following books:\n\nEntrepreneur Magazine's book "How to Start a Personal Concierge Service"  http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1891984713/ref=nosim/powerhomebizguid\n\nHow to Start and Operate an Errand Service (Revised 2nd Edition) by Rob Spina http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0965703150/ref=nosim/powerhomebizguid\n\n\nResources: \nNational Concierge Association http://www.conciergeassoc.org

Sometimes our decisions are wrong and we have to pay for those mistakes. You have hurt several people, perhaps because you did not consider the magnitude of your action. Take some time to think about how they feel now and how you can fix the situation. I know you feel bad, but you are not stupid. Try to learn from your mistakes and value your life and happiness. If you give love and respect to others, you will receive love and respect double or tipple than you did. Good luck!

You should try to work out towards the early part of the day.  Also, stay away from heavy meals or foods after lunchtime.\n\nThis may also be a health problem, or a sign of depression.  If it continues, you should see your doctor.

a)  Find the equation of the line parallel to x-axis and    passing through(2,-1,0).\nb)  For what value of x will the angle between the lines with direction ratios (x,2,4) and (1,0,1) be 45_degree.

For the benefit of all the folks who answered, question a), since (2,-1,0) is not ON the x-axis, a line through it can be parallel to the x-axis.  Equations of lines in 3-space are VECTOR equations with a simple form (kind of like slope and intercept): we need a point the line passes through -- (2,-1,0) -- and a direction to go -- parallel to the x-axis.  So any point on this line, P(x,y,z)= (2,-1,0)+m(1,0,0).\n\nFor b), you need dot product divided by product of magnitudes equal to cosine of angle.  So\n(x,2,4) dot (1,0,1)/[sqrt(x^2+2^2+4^2)*sqrt(1^2+0^2+1^2)=sqrt(2)/2\n(x+4)/[sqrt(x^2+20)*sqrt(2)=sqrt(2)/2....cross multiply\n2(x+4)=2*sqrt(x^2+20)\n(x+4)=sqrt(x^2+20)............square both sides\nx^2+8x+16=x^2+20\n8x=4\nx=1/2

I mean this little girl always got something smart to say about me and my boyfriend, my sister and my other bestfriend but the only person saving her is her brother cause I love him and I don't want to break our friendship.What should I do?

It's never right to beat anyone. BUt if she's that much of a trouble making brat and that much of a problem for you, you could get her alone somewhere and spank her bare bottom. Or you could try to put up with her. It's up to you.


I was of with a friend and we were talking and she burst out with it. I ran home and pulled him up about it and he said that he would never do that

first . . . your question didn't make sense . . . and if I get the gist . . . he cheated on you with her . . . \n\nSecond . . . you are to emotional . . . . calm down and relax and don't do anything stupid.\n\nThird . . . . dump him after you calm down


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permian_extinction has many theories to pick from, there is no universially accepted answer. It's your opinion. My theory which did not make their list is unusually violent solar storms and devastating solar flares.

Man_with_a_Plan has no proof that there is no proof. His statement that no theories are sound or have proof is just his opinion and purely speculatory. There is no proof.\n\nI, on the other hand, like the "Murder on the Orient Express Theory". I think that there was huge changes in ocean circulation due to the continents coming together WELL BEFORE Pangaea formed. The geologic evidence suggests that the extinction happened in different places around the world at different times, which suggests that no single event is responsible. I believe that cooling events like plume volcanism in the Siberian traps coupled with warming events like methane hydrate release and greenhouse effect along with the continental positioning at the time may have worked together to cause extreme changes in ocean circulation at various parts of the world at different times, attributing to the extinction event.\n\nVariations in temperature due to greenhouse warming and on/off sulphide cooling would have had the greatest immediate impact on planktic (ocean surface) and shallow water organisms. I also think that ocean circulation was also greatly affected not only by the temperature variations but also the circumstantial orientation of the continents. Heat transport to the north would have been innefficient and consequently northern regions would have been subject to extreme cooling, even at relatively low latitudes. In the southern regions there would have been a huge temperature gradient between top and bottom waters. If this was enough to stop deep water formation and ocean turnover, benthic (bottom dwelling) species would have been destroyed by the lack of oxygen and intermediate to surface water species would have suffered from a lack of nutrients. Because most of the Earth's life at the time was in the water, I am quite sure that it was likely some change in ocean circulation that dealt the fatal blows to life. Obviously good carbon isotope data from the period would be needed to verify this hypothesis. \n\nLife on land would have suffered greatly by climate changes induced by changes in ocean circulation, as well as the extreme variations in temperature. Tropical species would have been devastated by cooling events caused by the plume volcanism.\n\nThere is lots of proof for everything; there just is no definite information that can, as of yet, say for sure exactly how it all happened. That's a tough thing to do, but I really dislike people who refute the claims of others without presenting any evidence themselves.

Drifting out in space because there would be no hope or not even a slight chance of being rescued. At least if ur still on earth there is that chance.


I have been seeing this guy for a bit now. And he lives 2 hours away, so we try to make our time work when we get to be together. Anyway he says that he cares for me and loves me and that he is thinking about moving closer. But there are times when we plan to do things and then he never shows up or calls till days later. It usually meants something has happened, but my point is that if he cares so much why can't he call so I am not worried. Any suggestions?

I was in a relationship like that. HE only lived an hour away. BUt we were on the phone all the time, and every chance we had we were together.Now we are married. Sounds to me that your guy might not be ready for what you want. Tell him how you feel about him not calling or blowing plans off. Maybe he will take your feelings into consideration or he his just telling you what he thinks you want to hear.


If I want to see where my kids have been on line, and what they have been looking at where would i go? And they are smart enough to clear the history, so that wont help. Thank you.

Check out my source for a good article on MSN that shows how someone might clear their history. There are many ways such as checking your temporary internet files and checking out cookies.

His health\nWhat initiations is he giving now?\nWill he be coming to Canada in the next year or two?

The schedule on his web page doesn't show that far ahead.  He has an email address though.  You should ask him.


Over population in Africa is the main cause of the ethnic genocides and conflicts today. Its a fight for limited resources.  Please send condoms.

Thanks to our president our country has an abstinence only policy.  This means that any organization that wants to help Africa and recieve money from the government cannot offer or teach about condoms.  It is a result of having your beloved country run by a bunch of super conservative religous fanatics.

What do you think would be a good first job for a seventeen year old; and what would be the best way to find it, and get it?

Try to find something you will enjoy; past that, any job you have at 17 is good for building job history and a good reference.\n\nMy first jobs were a supermarket and then fast food (I worked at a sandwich shop so I didn't have to deal with grease).


What if all the servers went on strike. What if finally after all these years they stood up and said you know what its time we should get paid like everyone else. Its not about knowing what you got into before you got the job. Its the principle. Its politically incorrect that servers are paid way less. Why do I get junk mail about politicians get pay increases? WHAT! when do servers get their pay increase? why does everyone in the whole workforce get a pay increase but SERVERS?!!! Once again I say, yes servers knew what they were getting into but they have to have a place to live like everyone. And if there was no servers to serve your food then you would have to resort to mcdonalds or something. Hey I like Mcdonalds no pun inteded. But right is right and wrong is wrong. Once again its the principle. If they raise the prices so be it. What do you think your money goes to when you pay for food at fast food places.

i agree, its not fair that they can get away with not paying servers minimum wage, because they are supposed to get tips, and then they tax the tips. but really, you guy's would have to get smart about it and start a union. Then somebody would listen and try and fix it.

I have been searching for my brother for quite some time.  I have had very little luck with most "people searh" sites.  I could really benefit from any info./suggestions anyone may have on how I can find him. Thank you.

At some point you can only get so much information for free or from surfing the Internet. Many people don't use the Internet or do anything in real life that gets documented in any way online. I kindly suggest you consult with a private detective to find your brother. You'll need to provide as much information as you can (full name, description, last known whereabouts, names of friends, etc.) and it will cost some money. But as with anything else, sometimes you reach a point where you need a professional.
