whats the minimum coefficient of static friction to keep a block from moving on a surface if it weights 5 kg and thier are two forces acting on it.  One 5N at 30 degrees and a second pulling it at 4N 37 degrees?

Ok....the only components of the force that has any hope of moving the block (horizontally I'm assuming) are the....well....horzontal components of those two forces acting together.\n\nFriction is a force. It's given by...say...'f', where f = uN\n\nf also is mass times acceleration:  f = ma\n\nThe horizontal components of each force is found by resolving each one into 'x' and 'y' components. I'm going to let you figure out how you do this, but the results are:\n\nx1 = 6 N\nx2 = (4/37) N\n\nTheir sum is about 6.1 N\n\nSo you have:   uN = f\n\nu = coeff. of static friction (what you need to determine)\nn = "Normal" force = mg [Normally this is called "N", but I want to avoid confusion between that and the units for force...Newtons which I'm calling "N". Understand?\n\nm = object's mass = 5 kg\ng = gravitational const. = 9.8 m/s^2\n\n==> un = f\n==> un = 6.1 N\n==> u = (6.1 N)/n\n==> u = (6.1 N)/(mg)\n==> u = (6.1 N) = (5 kg*9.8 m/s^2)\n==> u = 0.125\n(done)\n\nHope that helps, but if not, lemme know.


My 6 year old son saw an orthopedic srgn whom said his leg bones were twisted.  His feet turn outward 30 degrees.  She said he was a canidate for surgery but I want to know if I don't go aheah with the surgery will his feet progressively continue to worsen as he grows.  Has anyone ever went through this surgery?\nAny information would be of great comfort.\nThank You.

When I was a baby I had the same problem with my right foot and wore special shoes that were bolted to a special board that turned my foot the right way after about a year of wear. Ask your doctor for alternatives to surgery if you aren't comfortable with your 6 year old having surgery. There should be plenty of alternatives.


What's the difference in performance between the ATI Radeon X1600 and the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600? I know the Mobility is intended for laptops, but I can't find any information about a difference in performance. My assumption is that the Mobility would be scaled down a bit in performance, but I don't know for sure. Is there any official word on this?

The Mobility X1600 is essentially the same as its desktop counterpart and has the following features:\n\n12 Pixel Pipes\n5 Vertex Pipes\n4 Texture Units\n4 Render Back-Ends\n128 Max. Threads\nCore clock: 470\nMemory clock: 470\n\nThe primary difference here is that the desktop card is clocked slightly higher with a core clock of 580MHz and a memory clock at 780MHz.

Which racing do you like more? Indy Racing or NASCAR? NASCAR is more popular (no doubt about that) but now IRL is starting to become a little more popular. I personally like Indy Cars more but NASCAR is good too. So I was just wondering which one you like more! Or do you like them both the same?


They talk about giving, but that could just be an offering....the church got rid of all the jewish feasts, and other commandments, but kept the requirement to support the leadership with money...

Matt. 23: 23 \n23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and canise• and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.\n\nLuke 11: 42 \n42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.\n\nLuke 18: 12 \n12 I fast• twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess•.\n\nHeb. 7: 5 \n5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:\n\nHeb. 7: 6 \n6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.\n\nHeb. 7: 8 \n8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.\n\nHeb. 7: 9 \n9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

What's the purpose of different time zones?

The purpose of different time zones is so that when it is noon, the sun will be roughly overhead. We do not need to use time zones. It is just convention. Time zones and standard time only became necessary when the railroads arrived, and people started to worry about schedules.\n\nYou are not losing or gaining hours from your life directly when you move to a different time zone of course. You might be adding or subtracting stresses and other factors from your life that might have some indirect effect on the length of your life. And of course, travel and moving are not completely without risk.


Cordyceps Sinensis, a plant of the ergot family, is a traditional and precious dried Chineses medicinal herb belonging to the fungus category. It was highly recommended by ancient medical practitioners as the most effective cure for all illness. Owing to the herb's high efficacy and potency in curing various diseases, it is well-known as an important nourishing tonic. However, as the sourcing and gathering of the herb is rare and difficult, so its supply often falls short of demand.\n\nIt regulates and ensures the normal functioning of various parts of the body, strengthens the immune system and promotes overall vitality and longevity.

The botanical name I usually see is 'Cordyceps mycelium' and I think that is a tamed strain of Cordyceps sinensis, which grows wild. Here are some companies that offer Cordyceps, or Dong Chong Xia Cao.  You will have to clarify the botanical name with them.\n\nA highly respected company that specializes in mushroom extracts is MycoHerb.  They do some impressive work with mushrooms, offering them alone or in mushroom formulae.  A distributor for them is Kan Herb Company. \n\nYou may want to try May Way Herbs, they are very reputable importers, based in California and importing from China and Taiwan.\n\nThe largest seller of Chinese herbs is Crane Herbs, and they offer a broad product range to practitioners. \n\nA very good Japanese herbal company (Kampo) is Honso USA, importing from Japan (I am not sure if they sell the herb you are looking for).  \n\nOthers that sell Cordyceps include, Spring Wind Herbs, Health Concerns and KPC Herbs.\n\nI have included direct links for some of the places I mention, and Acupuncture.edu's resource page will link to the rest.  Addresses can be retrieved from their websites.

I have a 5 year old Dell 8200 running windows XP and seem to have a problem that I cannot figure out.  My computer started running very very slow about\n3 weeks ago, so I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled windows XP.  However, the reformatting process ran very slow as well (~8 hours to do\n28GB) and the computer is still running very slow.  I should say that when I am trying to open a program, the hard drive light is on while the computer\nis loading the program (it can take almost 30 seconds to open a program).  Since the reformatting process ran so slow, I am suspecting that my problem is in hardware. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Can a hard drive just slow down?  I also read something about the BIOS battery running out and changing settings that can slow the system down.  Any ideas?

You may also want to try opening the computer and cleaning (carefully) all the parts, cards, fans, etc. With a computer that old, it's probably collected a bunch of dust and dirt inside that could cause it to overheat and run slowly.\n\nMy Dell was about 3 years old, and I had never cleaned it out. It started acting funny, and after I cleaned it, it seemed to work fine.\n\nDefinitely try that if you have never cleaned out its insides before. If you have tried that, then it may be your hard drive like the previous answerer said.


where can i enroll? aint there english school in italy to study nursing?

I’m sorry but there “aint” too many options for an English speaking student.\n\nIf you don’t speak Italian, you will have to study at one of the few private universities in Italy.  Bocconi in Milan only offers business classes.  However, many American universities have campuses in Italy where classes are held for credit in American universities.\n\nIf you just want to study Italian, there are two Italian universities where the language is taught.  Those two universities are in Perugia and Siena.


Theres this really nice girl i met at skul, n ive gotten to kno her these past few months, n ive fallen completly for her, n her b-day is comin up, so i want to buy her a nice present..which one do u think she'll like more?

The difference between yellow gold or white gold (or silver) is colour. There is not too much difference between white gold, silver, or platinum for that matter. It all comes down to price and prestige. The more you spend, the easier to show off with pride.\n\nOf course, the best place to start is in her own jewellery collection. Some people don't like the look of yellow gold on themselves. Others say the same of silver. \n\nIf you don't have access to her jewellery collection, look at what she wears on a regular basis. Buy something that will match a piece she already wears.\n\nDon't forget that you can add semi-precious gemstones to jewellery to add to its sparkle and visual appeal. See sources for jewellery of this type.


Do large ape-like creatures roam the forests of the Pacific Northwest? Has anyone seen one? Or do you think someone is putting 800 pounds of rocks on their backs and running up embankments with giant feet attached to their own feet?

Kinda, i watch the history chanel and discovery chanel sometimes and they have whole stories on him. some lady even said that he has a family and she brings them food. they went to talk to her. maybe she was just crazy but theres proof sometimes. maybe some ones just making them or maybe not. same thing with crop circles.


My boyfriend wants to have anal sex with me and i have never tried it before and i dont know what to do help me out if you can?

Honey, just because you are in love doesnt mean you should try anything he wants to try.  He needs to understand that its your body, not his.  If you are uneasy about it, then dont do it, cuz that type of sex needs complete relaxation, trust, and lubrication.  He needs to be gentle, and quite frankly, if you cannot relax, then I would suggest against it. Either way, it's your choice and if you say no, then tell  him to stop bothering you about it.


I have been looking around the internet for a Domain Name for my company (which mostly does free charity work), I typed the domain I wanted into one of those Domain Search Engines on Friday, and then purchased it through IPowerWeb. It takes about 3 days for Ipower to purchase the domain, and in that time period, someone with the email "domainsales@gmail.com", purchased the domain name and is now trying to sell it to me for a ridiculous price. I was wondering the legality on this, especially since they got it through me searching a domain purchasing site.

Perfectly legal.  Your intermediatary should not have taken so long to have secured the site in this fast-paced world.  Imagine that you wanted the last hot product from the store shelf, but it took you three days to reach for it; you'd probably miss out.  However, the fact that another 'phantom' company mysteriously snatched up the exact same address as you while iPowerWeb was 'securing' the purchase of your site seems incredibly convienient, that's just my take.


If person believes in God and tries to develop such qualities as compassion, mercifulness, love, peacefulness etc, shouldn't that person become a vegeterian and stop killing animals just for gratification of one's greedy stomach?

I totally agree with you, I think that's a really good point. Unfortunately, I can't say without being a bit of a hypocrite because I eat fish, shellfish, eggs and other stuff. I think that's an aim to have in your life, but I don't know if I'll ever get there. I don't think about it much, I stopped eating meat and I feel fine and dandy that way, but I do miss fish when I spend a lot of time without eating it. Everybody is different and we should respect one another, but I agree that's the way to go.


I've been having pain in my jaw, headaches, fatigue, indigestion. I've also been intense at work, and my nerves feel like they are on the edge all the time

I believe stress is the source of 75 percent of all our problems and a major epidemic in people's lives. Finding ways to control stress is vital, because if you don't control stress, it will control you.\n\nIf you want to reduce your stress level and live a happier and healthier life, use the physical and emotional stress relief techniques outlined below. \n\nPhysical Relief \n - Say No\nThe pressure to perform in today's world is intense. As a result, people work long hours and take on much more than they can bear. They juggle multiple roles throughout the day and sacrifice sleep or personal time just so they can get everything done. Saying "no" to a demand is out of the question, resulting in increased stress, both at work and at home. \n\n - Listen to Your Body \nListening to your body helps you take control of your stress because you become aware of the signals your body gives you regarding comfort and discomfort.\n\n- Communicate With Your Heart\nYour heart has an important job, pumping 2,000 gallons of blood throughout your body each day. This merits the heart receiving your attention. To reduce emotional stress your heart needs encouragement, appreciation, and love.\n\n- Clear Out the Past Clutter\nJust as you do a spring cleaning of your house, you should also do a spring cleaning of your heart to wipe away the old memories and messages that are causing you stress. This is important, because the way we fell from moment to moment, the way we behave, and the actions we take are all conditioned to how we feel inside.


WASH YOUR HANDS CONSTANTLY!!! Like when you come back from like the supermarket or someplace like that. Don't touch handles on like bathrooms (wear gloves if nesassary).

I mean, they all do, atleast junior high and high school, i mean that is just plain weird 0.o

From the following definitions I found elementary schools picked up the phrase grade schools because the childrens work was graded, i.e. evaluated and assessed.\n\ngrade (n.)  \n1511, from Fr. grade "grade, degree," from L. gradus "step, degree," replacing M.E. gree "step, degree in a series," from O.Fr. grei "step," from L. gradus, related to gradi "to walk, step, go," from PIE *ghredh- (cf. Lith. gridiju "to go, wander," O.C.S. gredo "to come," O.Ir. in-greinn "he pursues," and second element in congress, progress, etc.). The verb is 1659, from the noun. Railway sense is from 1835. Meaning "division of a school curriculum equivalent to one year" is from 1835; that of "letter-mark indicating assessment of a student's work" is from 1886. \n\n\ngrammar  \n1176, gramarye, from O.Fr. grammaire "learning," especially Latin and philology, from L. grammatica, from Gk. grammatike tekhne "art of letters," with a sense of both philology and literature in the broadest sense, from gramma "letter," from stem of graphein "to draw or write." Restriction to "rules of language" is a post-classical development, but as this type of study was until 16c. limited to Latin, M.E. gramarye also came to mean "learning in general, knowledge peculiar to the learned classes" (c.1320), which included astrology and magic; hence the secondary meaning of "occult knowledge" (c.1470), which evolved in Scottish into glamour (q.v.). A grammar school (1387) was originally "a school in which the learned languages are grammatically taught" [Johnson, who also has grammaticaster "a mean verbal pedant"]. In U.S. (1860) the term was put to use in the graded system for "a school between primary and secondary, where English grammar is taught." \n\nAlso, when you look at the ancient (classic) educational process, which is now aone of many approached to homeschooling, :\n\nThe first years of schooling are called the "grammar stage" -- not because you spend four years doing English, but because these are the years in which the building blocks for all other learning are laid, just as grammar is the foundation for language.  In the elementary school years -- what we commonly think of as grades one through four -- the mind is ready to absorb information.  Children at this age actually find memorization fun.  So during this period, education involves not self-expression and self-discovery, but rather the learning of facts.  Rules of phonics and spelling, rules of grammar, poems, the vocabulary of foreign languages, the stories of history and literature, descriptions of plants and animals and the human body, the facts of mathematics -- the list goes on.  This information makes up the "grammar," or the basic building blocks, for the second stage of education. \n\nOnce the child hit 5th grade, education became more analitical, and therefore there was less 'grading' and more freedom of thoughts and ideas.\n\nSo to sum it up, The word grade school came from the original educational system, dating back to the greeks where a child learned (gathered most of thier knowledge) by 5th grade.. after that they spent their time analyzing this knowlege, and finally in the third stage they discusses and debated based on the knowledge they had learned and spent years analyzing.


Most euro-Americans aren't racist. African-Americans are self-conscious about the color of their skin. African-Americans have lwer income just because for generations they haven't been taught many skills. 80% of Euro-Americans understand that.

Organizations (and I mean all of them!) have a tendency to outlive their usefulness; so even if there is no racism in 2050, my guess is that the NAACP will still be around.

Assuming that you have nothing on the HD that you cannot replace, I would recommend that you reformat the drive and reinstall Win2K from scratch. Be sure to install all of the updates prior to installing any new software.\n\nMake sure to get a list of all hardware on your system and secure the proper drivers for them prior to reinstalling Win2K.\n\nYour problem appears to be related to the video, but that is just a guess. You could try updating to the newest version of the driver for your system prior to redoing it.\n\nGood Luck


My 14 year old son pulled the right exterior oblique swining a bat several times in pre-season work outs.  He didn't warm up enough and is in pain when he attempts to swing the bat.

it good to always do steches when you pull anything in your body. Its also good to do streches everyday even though they might hurt a little because it can prevent you from braking a bone in the future


I have so many doubts about java.. i will ask one after another.

Java provides the StringBuffer and String classes, and the String class is used to manipulate character strings that cannot be changed. Simply stated, objects of type String are read only and immutable. The StringBuffer class is used to represent characters that can be modified.\n\nThe significant performance difference between these two classes is that StringBuffer is faster than String when performing simple concatenations. In String manipulation code, character strings are routinely concatenated. Using the String class, concatenations are typically performed as follows:\n\n\n     String str = new String ("Stanford  ");\n     str += "Lost!!";\n\nIf you were to use StringBuffer to perform the same concatenation, you would need code that looks like this:\n\n\n     StringBuffer str = new StringBuffer ("Stanford ");\n     str.append("Lost!!");\n\nDevelopers usually assume that the first example above is more efficient because they think that the second example, which uses the append method for concatenation, is more costly than the first example, which uses the + operator to concatenate two String objects.\n\nThe + operator appears innocent, but the code generated produces some surprises. Using a StringBuffer for concatenation can in fact produce code that is significantly faster than using a String. To discover why this is the case, we must examine the generated bytecode from our two examples. The bytecode for the example using String looks like this:\n\n\n0 new #7 <Class java.lang.String>\n3 dup\n4 ldc #2 <String "Stanford ">\n6 invokespecial #12 <Method java.lang.String(java.lang.String)>\n9 astore_1\n10 new #8 <Class java.lang.StringBuffer>\n13 dup\n14 aload_1\n15 invokestatic #23 <Method java.lang.String valueOf(java.lang.Object)>\n18 invokespecial #13\n21 ldc #1 <String "Lost!!">\n23 invokevirtual #15 <Method java.lang.StringBuffer append(java.lang.String)>\n26 invokevirtual #22 <Method java.lang.String toString()>\n29 astore_1\n\nThe bytecode at locations 0 through 9 is executed for the first line of code, namely:\n\n\n     String str = new String("Stanford ");\n\nThen, the bytecode at location 10 through 29 is executed for the concatenation:\n\n\n     str += "Lost!!";\n\nThings get interesting here. The bytecode generated for the concatenation creates a StringBuffer object, then invokes its append method: the temporary StringBuffer object is created at location 10, and its append method is called at location 23. Because the String class is immutable, a StringBuffer must be used for concatenation.\n\nAfter the concatenation is performed on the StringBuffer object, it must be converted back into a String. This is done with the call to the toString method at location 26. This method creates a new String object from the temporary StringBuffer object. The creation of this temporary StringBuffer object and its subsequent conversion back into a String object are very expensive.\n\nIn summary, the two lines of code above result in the creation of three objects:\n\n   1. A String object at location 0\n   2. A StringBuffer object at location 10\n   3. A String object at location 26\n\nNow, let's look at the bytecode generated for the example using StringBuffer:\n\n\n0 new #8 <Class java.lang.StringBuffer>\n3 dup\n4 ldc #2 <String "Stanford ">\n6 invokespecial #13 <Method java.lang.StringBuffer(java.lang.String)>\n9 astore_1\n10 aload_1\n11 ldc #1 <String "Lost!!">\n13 invokevirtual #15 <Method java.lang.StringBuffer append(java.lang.String)>\n16 pop\n\nThe bytecode at locations 0 to 9 is executed for the first line of code:\n\n\n     StringBuffer str = new StringBuffer("Stanford ");\n\nThe bytecode at location 10 to 16 is then executed for the concatenation:\n\n\n     str.append("Lost!!");\n\nNotice that, as is the case in the first


My Frend thought it would be funny to change my password and not tell me the new one So Now I'm stuck out of my tower.

Disconnect the internet before doing this. \n\nwhile booting up your pc, press F2 or F8 or DEL depending on your BIOS. \n\nThen choose to enter "Safe Mode".\n\nOnce the winxp log on comes up, choose "Administrator". \n\nnormally there should be no password. If there is a password then only a person who created that password can unlock the PC. Else, reinstall the entire OS. \n\nOnce you are pass through the log on and once the computer starts up completely. \nGo to Control Panel - Users and remove or change YOUR password (the other users password, NOT ADMINISTRATOR)\n\nRestart and log on normally.


Can't the Bush Administration be honest and say they don't want rogue nations or unfriendly leaders to have *any weapons*, let alone so-called "weapons of mass destruction" ? Isn't the U.S. the proprietor of the most weapons of mass destruction ?

I believe a weapon of mass destruction is one that can yeild wide-spread devastation in a single blow.  You're right, 'conventional' weapons can produce simular effects, but only when several are deployed at once.  Further, a weapon of mass destruction tends to take advantage of scientific advancements which originated fairly recently in human history, such as nuclear fission, fusion, bioengineering and so on.  A single modern nuclear warhead can not only lay waste to an entire metropolian area, but can irradiate the soil and lierally spread radiation across the entire surface of the Earth; lierally 'mass' destruction.


Has anyone else had their yahoo acct. deleted without warning? I logged into a yahoo chat room & after I'd signed out of yahoo, I wasn't able to sign back in. I even tried to sign into my yahoo mail & my user name & password wasn't accepted. I've had to create a new user name & e-mail account because of it. Does anyone know what happened? Thanks in advance.

The Yahoo answer Nazis got you too. For some reason, Yahoo allows a select few to post whatever they want, insult people, etc probably because they are paying Yahoo money. Those of us that utilize Yahoo's free services are subject to deletion whenever one of their whining p*ssies gets their wittle bitty feelings hurt by something we say. Don't bother asking why because Yahoo's Answer team makes Bush look like a genius.

Obviously the Sacramento Kings have stunk it up this season, do you think they should trade Peja for Ron Artest or just get rid of him for someebody of the same value?

No, then they'd have nobody!  The reason they stink is because they have key players injured - Bonzi Wells, Sharif-Raheem are out, plus Corliss Williamson.  They don't have a bench anymore!  Plus, they don't have Chris Webber either... so if they get rid of Peja, man, they'd REALLY be in trouble.  They need to get a player close to Artest as far as defensive ability goes, but getting rid of Peja would just make things worse.


i think he did but it was rejected is this someplace in the history i can find it.

I am not sure if he was, but our current bible is missing several books.  Each of the 11 disciples wrote a book (all but Judas), but we only have 4.  Also, bear in mind that the Catholic Bible and Protestant Bible have different books.  However, although I am sure he probably wrote "something" about Christ, I can not say for sure it was a "book," and that his book was rejected.

two cans connected by string, how do the work?

The string between the cans has to be stretched tight. When you speak into one can, the bottom of that can vibrates; this is converted into a change in the string tension and transmitted over the string to the other can; this, in turn, makes the bottom of the other tin can vibrate, resulting in sound waves.


It's especially bad in the wintertime, although I've found that Nexcare is pretty good for sealing the cracks once they happen. But how can I keep it from happening in the first place? This HURTS!!!

Sounds like you need to moisterize your hands better. What I reccomend is getting some intense therapy lotion. And pair of gloves. After you take a bath/shower put the lotion on and then the pair of gloves. Wear overnight. My boyfriend has the same problem with his feet. This truely helps. And if it dosen't, call some nail salons to see what they reccomend. They usually have alot of experience with it comes to manacures and problems. All else fails go to a doctor.

I would like to do my income tax seperately from my husbands because the way he does his takes forever to return. I want mine back quicker. Input please?

If you are still living together you will have to file MFS (married filing seperately).  There are no tax advantages to doing it this way unless he owes back taxes, child support, or cheats on his taxes.  I would suggest keeping on your husband and filing together.  You cannot file single since you are married.  \n\nYou could file HOH if you have been seperated for more than six months and are caring 50 % or more for the children.


without router. for example using bluetooth or a LAN cable

1.) If you have a NIC in each PC, you can use a crossover cable.\n2.) If you have a NIC in each PC, you can use a switch (D-Link Dss+5 cost around $20). Use 2 cat5e cables and you are set. If you have later more PCs, you can hook them up as well.\n3.) LapLink or something like it works with a USB cable or a (Null Modem) parallel cable.

I fell in love w/ a hot gurl, but I see her holding hands w/ him. She said that was her b/f. What should I do?

ask her out. if she says 'no'-then walk away. if she says 'no-i have a bf' ask if she didn't have a bf-would she consider it. if she says 'no'-then walk away. if she says 'yes'-that kinda sucks.\nif she says 'yes i want go out with you'-then she's a cheater. walk away.\nin any event-give it a shot. one shouldn't have regrets in life.

well my friend told this guy that i thought i didnt like anymore some stuff that i said about him that wasnt true and now like i feel so bad about and she even says that i said that stuff when i didnt she always lies to peopel about wat i say but anyways everytime i see him he just avoids me like he has no clue who i am and i really want to be his friend again.....

Write him a letter, telling him everything. The truth will save you, and probably make him feel better. He's trying to make you feel bad, and he's trying to let you know he's mad. Mail him the letter.  Letters are great, because it's almost always easier to write something to someone,than to say it to their face, plus,how can he avoid the letter?


There's a really beautiful girl I know and I like her a lot, she's a foreign girl in America and she's from India and I want to impress her so I need a really really really gooder advice. What should I do?

help her with things and try and make her comfortable without imposing then gradualy start leaving her little things to show how you feel like a rose in her car or a note slipped into her purse but don't rush it she's probably scared enough as it is in a new country and just needs a friend


i have a hp cd-r which came with my hp cd recoder i had 5 years ago.\nunfortunatly, if i try to copy files from the cd-r, i get read errors.\nthere is no "visible" damage on the cd-r.\nit apparently just didnt "last" 5 years of archival...\nis there any software that will recover as much as possible from the cd-r ?

well I have not heard a lot about hps crashing if th cd-R is having error that means it is toast I just home it is just bullshit on the disk but other wize the disk is dead but one thing you can try cleaning the cd-r with windex or go to walmart and buy a scratch remove kit witch is $19.99 but other wipe clean and hope that works but warning when cleaning cd any kind of cd don't wipe in circals wipe across the cd not around but remimber that because then u can say good bye to the cd but some time not but use caution\nalso your computer maybe just being stupid or if you have internet on the computer you mite of put a virus on the cd with out knowing there is so meny things that could go wrong or the company you bot the cd from gave you a bad cd by asitdit so I don't know just try some of though thing they may work if it don't work E-mail me at bisexualboy65@yahoo.com

I would like to hear some stories be they good or bad.

I took a few classes via Onlinelearning.net to clear my teaching credential.  It was the best/easiest thing I could've done.  I was working full time, finishing up my Masters Degree, and trying to keep up with everyday life.\n\nTaking classes online allowed me the opportunity to work when it was convenient for me, which was mostly late at night.  I also didn't have to waste time driving to and from class in traffic.  \n\nParticipation with others in the classes took place on discussion boards.  A certain amount of participation was required (i.e. post 5 messages on the message board in one week).  Assignments had to be e-mailed to the profs.  Aside from that, not much was required.  \n\nOverall, it was a great experience.


I am 62 and would like to start trecking. My goal is covering a 80 miles trail in 3 days. My feet force me to stop everything after 15 miles. I wear running shoes, the left foot seems to be loose but I can not tighten it as I would like to. The left foot seems to be so loose that little movements and friction happen. My nails touch the front of the tennis, and I am afraid that, if I buy a bigger shoe, I will have my feet completely loose. What should I do?

A true rule of thumb for for running shoes: When you stand up, there should be a thumb's width between the tip of your longest toe and the front of the toebox on the shoe. Press down with your thumb to test. If your toenails are hitting the front of your shoe, you are risking getting blisters under your toenails from the pressure. If that happens, besides being painful, you will loose the nail. \n\nIf you are worried about the shoe being too wide, investigate New Balance shoes. They come in widths.\n\nSince you are talking about hiking a trail over uneven terrain, you probably should investigate hiking boots. They protect your ankles more against twists and sprains.


what do u think there record will be at end of season\nand rank the detroit pistons starting lineup 1-10 of all time

It's hard to rank them in regards to "1-10 all time," but by the time the season is over, they will still be #1 in the league and play like that in the playoffs.


the info is for a friend who speaks spanish so in her language would be a + if not I'll translate.

Your friend really needs a diet set-up for her personally, by a registered nutritionist. Her doctor can set her up with one.\n\nA diabetic diet is based on weight, activity level, type I or II diabetes, and possibly on how advanced the diabetes is, Not certain on the last point.  However, there could also be other underlying medical conditions that need to be considered in the diet planning as well.\n\nThe nutritionist, can give her the info, that is unique to just her and show her the proper way to plan her meals.\n\nOnce she has seen the nutritionist, you can recommend these sites to her;\n\nhttp://www.healthsquare.com/mc/fgmc2022htm\nhttp://www.diabeteslibrary.org/news/news_item.cfm\nhttp://diabetic-recipes.com/recipes.htm\n  \n\nI commend your support of your friend.  I am sure she knows how lucky she is to have you, and I am sure she appriciates you.\n\nGood luck to your friend.\n\n\n\nUpdate - Just checked links and the 1st 2 do not seem to work.

Can a person purchase single tickets through the NFL instead of inflated prices from ticket brokers?


...aside from going to a sleep doctor, that is.

For starters, as I am sure you have found out for yourself, nasal strips WILL NOT WORK...they open the nasal passages, but since snooring is usually caused by the tongue blocking airways, it does nothing. Great for colds though! :p I find a nice elbow to the side works well (not too hard! I know it is tempting...) other than that, try to get him to sleep on his stomach, as this should let the tongue relax foward and away from the airway. Aviod sleeping on the back at all costs. Good luck!


of anything? if so who , what is your relation to them, ie: friend, mom, brother, what was the diagnosis, and what was healed?

A few months ago a friend and I were talking about Benny Hinn, questioning his ministry.  I had never actually seen Benny Hinn before; I had only heard about what goes on at his crusade meetings.  We had nothing positive to say.  \n\nNow, at the time, I had a throat infection that was getting stronger and stronger by the day.  A few days after I had been talking with my friend, I turned on Christian TV and saw Benny Hinn.  I thought I had better actually watch, since I'd been saying some pretty bad things about him, with no evidence to back up my scepticism.\n\nI was critical during the whole show.  At the end, Benny was sitting on a couch, talking to the camera, praying for sick people watching.  He was calling out various physical problems that God was healing.  Just when I thought, "This is ridiculous" and was about to turn off the TV, Benny said something like, "Someone has just been healed of a throat infection."  I heard it, and, started to wonder if it could actually be possible.  I swallowed and the pain was totally gone.  I could breath normally for the first time in about a week.  I was radically healed.  The next day I woke up, almost expecting the infection to be back, but it was gone, for good.\n\nWhat I learned from this:  DO NOT JUDGE!!!  As far as I know there is absolutely nothing unbiblical that goes on at Benny Hinn's meetings.  The Bible is clear that Jesus "stripes" (or wounds) were for our healing (as His death was for our eternal life).  Whether miraculously or over time, I believe it is always God's will for us to be healed, as sickness and death are a part of the curse He came to remove.  We just need to hear it preached from the Bible in context (faith comes by hearing), and believe, as we believed when we were born again.

I'm pursuing a healthier lifestyle but I find that I REALLY crave carbs.  Could there be some kind of nutritional deficency involved - something that I'm missing in my diet that makes me feel like I need carbs?  I've wanted peanut butter toast twice today,  LOL.

No, that is normal. When eating right, means cutting out alot of breads and pastas and pretty much everything else that is good outhere. Carbs are need in the body. But the right carbs will help you loose weight and have more energy. look at the atkins diet it gives you alot info on the carbs. \n\nCarbs are yummy..


I am staying with the company and on my current project, but supporting the project in another way.  Should I send a note of thanks for everything?

It sounds like you wont be going far from the same people you have been working with. So I would say not to write a goodbye email. Maybe you could say thanks for the support and understanding that you're changing things up a bit, let them know that you are available to help them if you have left anything undone, and you'll look forward to more projects with them in the future. But, even that may not be neccesary, depending on the norms of your group.


I am a trailer salesman, we have increased our sales by a tremendous amout.  However it appears not may people know we are here besides word of mouth.  Does anybody know effective ways to get more exposure (advertise) locally and even outside my local area.  Newspaper didn't do much.  Camera Ads (Local Car Trader) has done the most good.  But I still get alot of, "I didn't know you were here"

Enter a trailer in a home show or Commonground Fair. Donate one to a good cause and get media exposure.  E-bay, Criags list,  Web-site links.\n\nGood luck


The question is just stupid but eh wth....\n\ngirls would you rather be held and caressed in the arms of a man you love?\n\nor\n\nWould you rather just have mad passionate sex???\n\nim pretty sure both comes in the territory, but i just wanna know if you prefer one more thant the other.

cuddling of course, In my mind if a man puts up with cuddling then he is a keeper.

Yeah, it does seem to do wonders. I make it and drink it about 4 times per year, and usually combine it with a weekend of fasting. It stimulates the nervous and endocrine systems, which increase a person's energy. It also treats these conditions:\n\n1. Chronic fatigue\n2. Insomnia\n3. Weakness\n4. Anxiety\n\nIt even helps to increase attractiveness! (Brightening the eyes, improving vision, prolonging youth and invigorating the body)\n\nAncient Chinese tradition also says that it: Quiets the animal spirits (whatever that means - I think this is referring to its help with anxiety and insomnia) and stabilizes the soul.\n\nYou can make your own ginseng tea like this:\n\n(2 servings)\n\n1 sliced ginseng root\n2 cups water\n\nPlace ginseng root in a small glass jar and pour in two cups boiling water and cover. Place this at the cottom of a larger pot with water and let the water simmer for 6-8 hours, watching water levels. (to prevent the jar from breaking, place it on top of a small cloth or towel when in the bigger pot) Drink one cup of tea before bed and another in the morning.\n\nSome experts think one should only drink this tea on a once per month basis or when fasting. The Chinese believe it should only be taken at the beginning of each seasonal cycle.


i want to be able to open a webpage full page

i have the same problem!! i'll be watching for an answer too.


it is related to high order butterworth and chevyshev.

The higher the order of the filter, the sharper the cutoff can be. For example, the sampling rate for an audio CD is 44 kHz. To eliminate aliasing noise, the input audio signal to the sampler has to contain basically no frequencies above half the sampling rate (22 kHz). Since human hearing goes up to nearly 20 kHz, you need a sharp cutoff low-pass filter to eliminate the higher frequencies without affecting the audible music. You would use a high-order filter for this.


I'd like to someday become a doctor. Has anyone ever begun an endeavor like this eight years late?

Check out Osteopathic schools.  They accept applicants based on desire more than filling traditional profiles.  Regular allopathic (MD) schools pretty much discriminate against age.  I worked in an Osteopathic hospital for a while.  Several docs were something else first.  One was an engineer, one was a Gym teacher and one was a pharmacist.  If you are serious- this is were I'd start looking.


there is a lot of racism in my school. and beileve it or not its not from my fellow students. its from my teachers. y is there racism? whats the piont? didnt God make us all equal?

I feel there are two reasons prejudice will always be with us in one form or another.\n\nFeeling superior.\nThis was said to me (by someone who never could hold down a job or make ends meet) when I asked if he could afford the rent where he was moving.\n"What do you think? I'm not like those muchachos from the other side of the tracks who doesn't even TRY to pay their bills!"\ntranslation;  I may be a loser but I'm not as a big of a loser as THOSE people!\n\nShortcut\nI takes a while to know who is honest & who isn't, who is a hard worker & who isn't, etc.\nPrejudice allows people to think they can look at someone & have a short cut to knowing those important things.


I'm traveling to Nova Scotia the first week in June.   The entire reason for the visit is to...you guessed it..play golf.  It is more convenient than Scotland or  Ireland and I don't need a passport...yet.  Your input is welcome and appreciated.\n\nThanks.

If you're gonna be in Nova Scotia, make sure you spend some time on Cape Breton -- closest vistas to Ireland you'll see on this continent.\n\nNever played the course (just bought the shirt) so I don't know what the holes are like, but the area around Cape Breton Highlands has tremendous views.\n\nhttp://www.highlandslinksgolf.com/welcome.html

How do you determine if a AA sized or any other NiMH is fully charged or not? Can you do it with a multi-tester? Do I measure just the voltage alone? If just voltage, what are the values for fully charged batteries?

You can't really get an accurate result with a multitester.  NiMH batteries have a fairly flat discharge curve with a sudden drop-off when they're discharged.  Like all batteries, if they’re measured open-circuit (no load), they will also display a higher voltage that will immediately drop when placed under load.  \n\nMeasuring NiMH battery voltage to determine charge levels means that you have to be able to be able to measure down to .01 or 0.001 volts under load to get an idea for how charged the battery is.  Even this method will only give you a relative result, since NiMH batteries lose capacity for each charge/discharge cycle they go through.  A fully charged battery after 200 uses may only have 90% capacity.\n\nBattery chargers for the newer battery technologies like NiMH or Li-Ion typically use several different methods at the same time when charging batteries:\n\n - Time (14 hrs) \n - Temperature (gets hot when fully charged)\n - Voltage (peaks when charged)\n - Charging current (drops when fully charged)\n\nNiMH batteries only provide about 1.2V VS 1.5V in an alkaline abttery.  A measurded no-load voltage on the battery of 1.5 volts is probably ovr 50% charge.


Acat is at teh bottom of an 18-foot well.\nEach day the cat climbs up 3 feet;each night it slides back 2.How long will it take the cat to get out of the well??

WRONG, everyone!  It does NOT take 18 days!\n\nListen to the progress report here:\n\nDay 1, cat goes up 3, falls 2, total gain: 1 foot.\nDay 2, cat goes up 3, falls 2, total gain: 2 feet.\nDay 3, cat goes up 3, falls 2, total gain: 3 feet.\nDay 4, cat goes up 3, falls 2, total gain: 4 ft.\nDay 5, cat goes up 3, falls 2, total gain: 5 ft.\nDay 6, cat goes up 3, falls 2, total gain: 6 ft.\nDay 7, cat goes up 3, falls 2, total gain: 7 ft.\nDay 8, cat goes up 3, falls 2, total gain: 8 ft.\nDay 9, cat goes up 3, falls 2, total gain: 9 ft.\nDay 10, cat goes up 3, falls 2, total gain: 10 ft.\nDay 11, cat goes up 3, falls 2, total gain: 11 ft.\nDay 12, cat goes up 3, falls 2, total gain: 12 ft.\nDay 13, cat goes up 3, falls 2, total gain: 13 ft.\nDay 14, cat goes up 3, falls 2, total gain: 14 ft.\nDay 15, cat goes up 3, falls 2, total gain: 15 ft.\nDay 16 - cat goes up 3, it is at 18 feet, the height of the well, and CRAWLS OUT!!  \n\nSo it only takes SIXTEEN days, folks, not 18!

The ONLY way to get what you want in school (i.e. free lunch, longer PE classes (yard time)) is to go on strike. less homework too! I pay someone to do my homework for me.

the only problem with that is students don't have rights in schools because the school and its staff is considered "parents" of the students while they are there.\n\nthis poses a problem then because if you go on strike, you get in trouble for passive resistance and insubordination, both of which are considered "serious offenses" and will probably lead to expulsion.\n\nsometimes it works; like if you think that they are asking too much for lunch or something like that, but most of the time it doesn't.  (unfortunately)\n\nsometimes, i wish it did though.  oh..and most of the parents in my area couldn't care less if their child went on strike or not...unless they got expelled.

When you copy ( you are not capturing ) back to the computer for editing in your NLE, nothing has changed, once you final render to mpeg2 ( DVD Specs ) then you loose some quality, but if done right it will not be perceptable.

Home damaged in 2002 AZ Rodeo/Chediski fire. Have NO electric power or running water for over 3 yrs. FEMA lied to them for 2 yrs. telling them they would help them and get others to help them also. Home received $58,000 in damages. Were given $2,726 total. SBA, HUD, Red Cross and many others walked away from them without giving them any assistance whatsoever. They were told they were TOO POOR to obtain any Grants or Loans to repair their home. (income $600 /mo.) Roof leaks, damaged ceilings, walls (mold) and floors. Wheelchair ramps, decks and steps removed need replaced, very unsafe, falls are frequent. Lost their Solar/Wind electric power system and generators. NO running water without power. NO working heat or A/C system, house is low 40's to high 30's in winter. Summer 105 to 108 degrees inside, conditions difficult for healthy people. Disabled they are in much pain and discomfort with these extremes. Can anyone HELP or know who might have some pity on my Dad and brother? PLEASE !

I feel very sorry that your family is living this way.  I am putting some links here that should be able to give you a place to start.

A female person in Colorado lives with a widower male for four years. She worked and took care of his children as her own. Suddenly, he dies in a tragic horse accident. She is left with the children to care for. \n Can a step mother who lived with the widowed father for four years get custody of the children she loves and cares for even though they were not married?  Does she have any legal rights to petition the courts to grant her custody of the orphaned children if she provided shelter and financial stability? The Paternal relatives want to take the children from her without any legal documentations of custody.  Thank you for any information on this matter.

I believe that is something to appeal.  It is very possible, especially if the children are of age to chose, the court very often leaves it up to the children to decide where they want to go.  If the children are too young then typically they do go to blood relatives, but the judge normally rules in the best interest of the children, and if that points to you, then it would go in your favor

I am fresh back from the war and I have friends in other states that took them only 1 week to get a doctor appt. at the V.A. and most of other people's claims were finished within 90 days for disability or whatever. I know Alabama can't be that backward or slow of a state.I am hearing from other people that it took them up to a year or longer before their claim got finished. All Iraqi veterans are supposed to be put at the top priority over all other veterans from other wars and be seen right away.

I work for the VA in Pennsylvania, and I am a vet also, so I can sympathize. From experience I can tell you the 2 best things to do would be contact the Directors office at the hospital.

The VA is very political and no one likes waves. Should help.

It kicks me out of the games, and keeps saying there is an internet explorer problem and has to close, and does. It is so frustrating! I don't want to have to re set up my computer every day, like I had to today! Isn't there anything that works? First windows had to close all the time, then Microsoft errors, even when I switched to firefox, they had to close too! And what's with all these "illegal operations"? It all makes me want to pitch this computer off the balcony!

If you are getting illegal operation errors, I'm assuming you have Windows 98SE, as this is a common occurance with IE and 98.\n\nIf you actually have XP, then I suggest doing an online virus check at one of the sites I've listed below.  Both are great virus and spyware programs as I have both, one on my home PC and the other on my Notebook.\nSecondly, make sure you have all your microsoft updates too.  These are very important. \n- I hope this works.  Good luck.


does anyone know a legal way to make $400 dollars quickly, like in a month or 2?

Sell some things you no longer need. Ebay is great but using the local paper is fine too. Got a lot of stuff and/or friends with stuff hold a garage sale. Another thing you might want to consider is a job with a temp agency. Around where I live you can make very good money with a temporary job assignment and the agency will find you the job.


I have a brand new computer with Windows XP.  When I am not on the internet, I unplug the phone line from the back of the computer (Yes, I am stuck in the 90s with dialup).  I am extremely careful about the virus software and the window's updates - I always do them dutifully when prompted.  I use the computer as an alarm clock, so it is on all night, but I turn it off during the day while I am at work.\n\nQuestion #1 - Last night, in the middle of the night, I heard the computer shut down and then the startup music... so I am assuming that it spontaneously restarted.  I know of no updates that needed installing.  What would cause this to occur?  \n\nQuestion #2 - Occasionally, there is a buzzing or loud humming type noise which pulses slightly coming from the tower.  This occurs even when the computer is idling, and happens about once every 2 or 3 minutes and lasts for about 15 seconds.\n\nThanks for your help!! :)

Answer #1 - It could have been a quick power outage, you might not have noticed it if you were nodding off to sleep.  Another possiblity is that if you have an external USB hard drive(s) connected to your computer for additional storage, they can sometime cause random re-booting (and sometime issues with boot-up afterwards) due to I/O conflicts. Those are two possible scenarios that could have caused your midnight reboot.\n\nAnswer #2 - This definately sounds like your computers Power Supply fan.  Simply use a hose vacuum on the back of the fan and this should help. Another possibility though is that you left a CD-ROM in your computer and your virus software is accessing the drive to check it(sometimes CD's can make a humming noise if not seated properly in the drive).

my parents cant seem to get over their suspisions of me, mostly because my older brother got caught with some bad stuff.But im not like that, and they assume that i will just follow in his footsteps and end up on the wrong path. How do i get them to loosen up, and trust me?

Just go on being a good kid and they will get the message. Lets face it, your brother messed it up for you. I dont blame your parents. they have had a bad scare. Just be cool, they will come around. If it really bothers you why not ask a teacher to talk to them about you? A good word from a teacher should help.


If I don't claim it to be mine, I just like it because it fits what I'm talking about, is it OK to use it, even if I don't credit where it came from?

it depends on the particular picture.  if the picture is in the "public domain" then you are free to  duplicate it and use it as you wish.  typically copyrighted work enters the public domain 50 years or so after the creator's death, so most public-domain stuff is old.  images of the mona lisa, for instance, are public domain.\n\nsome copyrighted works lately have been distributed under some special licenses - for instance, the "creative commons license" allows for mostly free use, but i think you have to credit the creator.\n\nmost of the time if you want to use a copyrighted image, you have to contact the creator of the image and ask for their permission to use it.\n\nthere is an exemption to copyright law in the united states called the "fair use" doctrine which applies mostly to educational use.  if your blog is part of an educational project, you may be able to use it legally.\n\nif none of these special cases apply, you are probably in violation of copyright law.  however, odds are that nobody's going to care or even notice.  this kind of thing happens all the time on the internet since digital files can be copied so easily.  however, it's been known to happen - lots of owners of disney fan-sites have received cease & desist letters from disney's lawyers for displaying images of mickey mouse, for instance.  (no kidding)\n\nthe one thing you definitely shouldn't do is link to the image on someone else's site.  this is especially true if your blog is high-traffic, since every visitor to your site downloads the image from some other poor schmuck's web server.  most people pay for internet hosting by the gigabyte, which means you are costing someone money if you do this.  so don't.  it's mean.

shinning for the same length of time? And why is that?

By definition, a watt is "the SI unit of power. Power is the rate at which work is done, or (equivalently) the rate at which energy is expended."\n\nA 50-watt bulb is expending energy at 1/2 the rate of a 100-watt bulb.\n\nSo - if both are shining (not "shinning") for the same amount of time, the 50-watt bulb would use 1/2 the energy of the 100-watt bulb.


The subject runs 3 miles/day and eats a low calorie diet sustained for at least six months.  Blood tests for Hypothyroidism have come back negative.\nHave tried low calorie, low fat, and low carb diet approaches.  Each have been sustained for extended periods of time without any significant weightloss.\nHave ruled out sleep apnia, and depression as factors.

It is possible to not eat enough to keep your metabolism functioning without a thyroid problem.  Try increasing calories at meal time and add a small nutritious snack between meals.  If your running three miles a day you need calories to burn.

Neither eBay nor law enforcement would allow this to continue if it were illegal. The evening television news covers the $3000 SuperBowl tickets on eBay. How is this legal, yet scalping at an event is illegal?

In many areas, "scalping," or the reselling of tickets to an event for more than their face value, is only illegal on the premises where the event is held.  The law varies from state to state, city to city.


ok my friend is having depression problems because her brother went to jail and she is seeing a phyciatrist but she takes it out on me! she's rude and gets mad at me and whenever she's mean to me i am always the one to apologize to her for nothing! she's never once said sorry for me for anything but i don't know how to deal with her. some say i should dump her as a friend but i don't want to we have memories. also they say talk to her but i have a million times and all she does is get mad at me for accusing her. help

I had the EXACT same problem.... okay.. my friend like had my brohters baby i was liek omg.... u no long story but then she was realyl stressed and cranky.. and depressed.... andd so so.. so I'd be crany back... and then once it got really bad b/c i wouldn't apoligize to her.. but after a while.. i mena a lign while.. liek 2 weeks? or a week w/e she said ur right.. nd i was iek yeah!!! but if she's on meds.. it can mess with her hormons for a couple weeks rember that... i usually just shurg everything off..


Currently, I am working on discovering which methods of integration will work for different kinds of problems. Does anyone have hints or give-aways for which methods of integration to use for different problems? Does anyone know of any good websites where I can brush up on my Calculus and get help before the AP exam? Thanks for your help!

The AP calc exam is an ok exam.  It was weird though to take a multiple choice math exam.  Best advice is just to do lots of different types of problems and in no particular order.  Make sure you're comfortable with word problems because that's all the non-multiple choice part of the test is.  Also, I know you can get past exams - my Calc teacher in HS got each of us the past like three tests.  We worked on them on our own and then got together for like a week or so and worked out the problems together if we were stumped.  My advice is to start early (as you seem to be doing) and just keep working through problems.  Make sure you review what you learned in the beginning so you won't forget what you now consider the "easy" stuff.  I took the exam and got a 3 on it.  That would have exempted me from Calc 1 at my college, but I took the class anyway, just to keep familiar and found it much more challenging than in HS becuase it is a college level class.  But I still got an A in it.  And like the answer above said, it was everything we covered in a year in HS calc.  I would only really use the exemption if: 1 - it totally gets you out of all the college math you would need for your major OR 2 - if you can get right into the next level first semester.  Otherwise, I would do the brush up like I did.  It helps the GPA and it does give you that brush up because in college, they expect you to hit the ground running in the higher level classes.  Good luck!

What is an "Error 404" how do i fix it? I emailed MySpace and have still gotten no answer. Am I doing something wrong?

Error 404 is an html issue which is a web page design issue, not on your end\nanytime you see error 404 it is a page problem, a lot of times it is because a server is down or you may be accidently typing in the wrong address (which is unlikely in this error message)


I grew up on both of these bands, so this is a really hard choice, but I would pick Blink 182. Their music brings back a lot of memories for me and they were always good for a laugh when I was still a teen.

Where does canned laughter come from? Do they sit a bunch of people down in a studio and record them laughing, or do they do it with mixing and stuff. Does one network just give each show the same track, or are there several versions that they use?

I'm not going to copy all the information, but there's an article on it on wikipedia.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canned_laughter


how do you pronounce the greek word "IXOYE?"

It is pronounced Ichthus, the greek word for fish.\nIt also has been used as a Greek acronym:\n(I) Jesus \n(X) Christ \n(Theta) Theos/God('s) \n(Y) Son \n(Sigma) Saviour\n\nOne explanation below:


I was told by one attorney that I only needed to pay the judgement amount to redeem a home in foreclosure; however, the bank claims I need pay an additional $ 60,000.00 in fees, charges, etc.  Who is correct, and what do I really need to do to pay the least possible amount?

you only pay that amount if you buy it at the auction. But the bank will be there bidding it up to get those fees back. If no one showed up to bid against them they didnt need to bid it up.\n\nIf they got it at the auction it is theirs and they can sell it for whatever they want.


If this is a first date, what mood is desired if not sexual? Sensuality is just as important as sexuality.\nAsking general not personal questions of her on a first date is ok. Be a good listener and flirt. Watch your language as some women are offended by blunt none of your business questions on a first date\nNever talk about your ex's and braggarts are boring.\nHold hands, be a gentleman,compliment her sincerely and above all, pay attention to subtle little gestures she may make to show she's interested in more than just holding hands, but don't be pushy. Honesty is always the best policy, but you don't have to feel obligated to tell her your whole life story. Be a little mysterious. Women are attracted to men who have good manners too, so don't pick your nose when you think she's not looking (only kidding)

I'm only addressing the first question: you may have a bladder infection.


Before you went to court, the attorney gave you a certain amount of what he was going charge you.  He said that there would not be any additional charges unless you decided to take the case to a Jury.  The case never goes to Jury, but the attorney feels that he deserves a bonus.  Does he have the right to charge you extra.

What you've described sounds like a serious breach of ethics.  There should be a written agreement between you and the attorney; what does it say?\n\nYou may wish to review your state's Rules of Professional Conduct.\n\nIf the amount being sought is particularly egregious, or if you're certain that your representation herein of the agreement between you and the attorney is accurate, you may wish to sue the attorney: verbal contracts are legally binding.\n\nHowever, you might be able to achieve pretty much the same results by simply going to the judge with your complaint against the attorney, and asking him or her how you can resolve the dispute without tying up the court's time.\n\nSee if the judge will either mediate the dispute or appoint a mediator.\n\nAnytime a dispute is being resolved outside the court, unless you're almost certain the ruling will be overwhelmingly in your favor, you want mediation instead of arbitration.\n\nWith arbitration, you're pretty much stuck with whatever the arbiter decides -- and the flow is very anti-plaintiff.


DO i just add them all together or whaT?

They're vectors, so take into account the direction. Thankfully, they're all in the same dimension, so you can make north positive and south negative (or vice versa, if you prefer), then add. -1 + 3 - 6 + 2 = -2, that is, 2 km south.\nIf they were in different directions, you'd do the same thing, adding horizontal and vertical separately, then using the Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant vector.


That 100+ miles is roughly only a 2-hour drive. It's not like you can't spend weekends together and chat regularly by phone, email, IM, etc. Of course, if you have conflicting schedules that keep you from getting together physically (and I'm not just talking about sex), then there may be a problem. You need time to be intimate, too, and to touch each other. One of you may need to move closer to the other.


what can you do when the man you are with is on druges and when he dont got any he foss with you and you are not doing anything at all ive ask him to get off of them and he wont so what shold i do????

The first thing you should do is pray and ask Jehovah God for direction. Don't take just anybody's advice...pray about it, and God always gives the same word more than 2 times to conform his word in your life. If he begins to act out of the norm! Watch him and see sooner or later he will slip up...the devil always gives his self away. Don't let it fester up and make you parnoid or consume your life and the happiness that you deserve.

After a 5-11 season, the Bears won their division and a number 2 seed in the playoffs. They got beat by Carolina. With Urlacher and Coach Lovie Smith, do they have a chance next season?

Hell yeah. The core of the team is back next season. The defense will only get better. They'll have a solid running game with Benson and Jones. The only question marks are at quarterback and receiver. They should get a decent receiver in the draft (and maybe pick up someone like Randle El) and Orton and Grossman should improve. The schedule looks kind of tough too with Denver, KC, and San Diego. \n\nBut again, look at the other teams in the division... Bears shouldn't have a problem getting to the playoffs and making a run.

will the odor of coffe grounds keep mice at bay?  If not what will?\nWhat is the best way to get rid of mice and ensure it or they will not come back?

set out mouse traps and mouse poison everywhere in your house just in case it escapes out of the basement. you can also try and keep your basement closed so it hopefully wont get upstairs. if you realize the traps and poison aint working because you find no dead mouse but know there is still a live one running around. call an exterminator. this mouse is smart! you could always call an exterminator first but trust me thats  more expensive than the poison and the traps.


Qualification: must work with Mozilla Firefox.

Yahoo! Calendar of course! many options there.


I want to learn Italian fluently and would like to know where I can learn the language effectively and inexpesively.

The best way would for you to board the next alitalia flight to Rome and stay about 6 months. But you said inexpensive so what I suggest is learning from a member of your local Italian-American community. Believe it or not there are still a few that can speak the language.

i relly like german films but any will do. i've seen alot but go ahead and name them. :) thanks

Good German films I know are all very old films (1910 and 1920s).  The Last Laugh, Nosferatu, Faust (all by F.W.Murnau) & The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari (Wiene)  German Expressionist films are very dark.  They are truly good horror flicks.\n\nI also really like Italian Films.  8 1/2, Juliet Of The Spirits (Fellini) and Blow Up (Antonioni) are good Modernist films.  Older Italian Neo-Realist films such as Rome, Open City (Rosselini) and Bicycle Theives (DiSica) are really good.\n\nFrench New Wave films I really like are Jules And Jim (Truffaut) and Cleo From 5 To 7 (Varda).\n\nI would highly suggest The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries (Bergman)\n\nA good Polish Film is called Ashes And Diamonds (Wajda pronounced Veedah)\n\nMany good Japanese films have already been listed.  I would suggest Kurosawa and Ozu films\n\nGood Iranian films are A Moment Of Innocence (Makhmalbaf), The Circle (Panahi) and the Koker Trilogy (Where Is The Friends House?, Life And Nothing More and Through The Olive Trees, all by Kiarostami)\n\nHope you enjoy!

enlagement of the head. small babys are affected with this disease. mostly people have hydrocephalus die early.

Hydrocephalus is the build-up of pressure in the brain due to an excessive accumulation of cerebral spinal fluid. It may result from genetic abnormalities or injuries. It does tend to happen more in children, but it does happen in adults and there is a condition called "normal pressure hydrocephaly" that occurs in the elderly that can be mistaken for dementia.\n\nUntreated, persons can have brain damage or death. There is a very successul treatment, often surgically implanting a drain (called a shunt) that drains off excess fluid. Early treatment is very important.\n\nSee resources below.

I loved going to college.  It was truly the best time of my life and would love to do it again one day to get another degree.  School can be a lot of fun if you make it that way.

If there was a way that adults could take high school over again, I would sign up in a minute.  I would take all the classes that would better prepare me for things and apply myself more.


I'm not a professional or anything, I just skate for fun. But I can't skate backwards and I am SOOO afraid of falling and someone else's blade cutting me. Any advice?

If you're afraid of other peoples' blades, try going a rink where there are few or no other people around (different times of the day, or different days of the week are less busy than others). If you have the money, rent out the whole thing all for yourself :P As for being afraid of falling - there's nothing you can do about that except skate anyway. You may fall, you may not... where padded clothing to soften any falls that may occur... and just go for it!


i deleted once upon a time...i lost my yahoo voice chat system...another time i lost all the memory when i was using the dial up connetcion.

Usually, it doesn't do any harm.  Its quite surprising to know that you lost yahoo Messenger.  The temporary Internet files are only the files that are cached for faster access.  Perhaps, you must have manually deleted them from the folder.  \n\nDelete the files from Internet Explorer using Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files\n\nYou can also use third-party software for doing it as mentioned in the previous post.


Apple won't sell OSX x86 to PC users and they won't let PC users install Windows on their Intel Macs (for dual booting OSX and Windows).  So, basically once again they are restricting themselves to dedicated Mac users.  I for one, will not buy a Mac just so I can have OSX (even if it is the most advanced OS in the world).  I need Windows for a lot of the programs I use but I would like to use OSX for web browsing (more secure) and use iTunes OSX (which is superior to its Windows cousin).  What is it with Apple, do they hate PC users or something, do they not want us buying Macs?\n\nI have a post about this on my homepage (the link to it is in my profile).

Apple users want to be different, and they succeeded by isolating themselves from the world. Apple is closed, unlike windows is open source, that how people can see its security flaws. Apple does want you to buy macs but they are too closed minded in only wanting apple software to run on their computers, they used to be the biggest computer making company (only computer company) but windows beat them in basicly every aspect and captured 90% of the market in the world. Apple was always restriced to dedicated Mac users, thats why their computers dont sell well, on top of that their computer specs are pretty bad in comparsion to windows computers of LESSER cost.

Because too many people were asking lame questions just to get points, not because they really wanted to know the answer.
