I hope it is worded right.\n\nI was wondering if someone could point me in the rght direction here or know the answer.Example- Death valley low temp 93 high temp 123. \n\nHave been curious about that, just don't know where to look.

weather.com might have some kind of database that lists this.  I know they show the record temps when I check my local forecast.  So, just search for the place you are curious about.\nEdit: Actually, I just looked.  Click on the "Averages" tab, and you get this graph.  Then, there's little checkboxes for record highs and record lows.  if you click that, the temps show up on the graph.

Who will benefit from this?  How do Iraqi's feel about American's?  What are Iraqi stereotypes they are trying to overcome?

First, your question is flawed by assuming the war is for oil.\n\nSecond, I have done two tours in Iraq. The vast majority of Iraqis love Americans. The kids love us and want to shake our hands. The adults love us and regularly invite us to dinner and special occasions. They love us when we build schools. They love us when we build roads. They love us when we rid villages of insurgents.\n\nDon't believe what the liberal media is spinning. They have an agenda just like you.


In my opinion, no. I have seen some of the pictures of the animals that they do testing on and it is sad. Some places dont even give the animals pain medication because they think it will interfer with the test result. Check out http://www.atourhands.com/cosmetics.html for some pictures

I don't think we should test such paltry things as beauty products on animals.  I don't think we should use animals for research of any kind UNLESS we can show that it is a study that will possibly save or extend human life, and that no human beings are willing to participate in the testing.  Any animals used for this purpose should be put into a state of sleep or made insensitive to pain.  They should be rewarded with everything they like best.  They should be given names, and these names should be listed on the products for all people benefitting from these tests to read.


i had aemail messanger for my email but i lost it how do i get it back


The above answer seems pretty complete to me. Nothing more to add except a pick.


I need a free online storage provider that let me grab files up to 150MB from other servers ( for example http://www.anysiteintheinternet.com/file.zip ) and upload them directly to the online storage provider - without having to download the file to our computer first. Do you have any idea?

That is not possible. Cannot be done. Online storage servers accepts files only from users and it doesn't take files from other servers as far as I know


I know my time is up; but I am tired of morphing.  Can I get an extension or do I have to morph according to the rules?  I will check back tonight or tomorrow.

*Muttering for I dun fully understand but being a skinwalker in spirit I get the general gist* Since I dun know the rules ect, I cannot say yes or no.\n\nCourse one must follow rules only if one chooses to play the game....

I'm doing a report on Thomas Nast and I need to know about his involvment with Boss Tweed.\n Thanks

Boss Tweed was the leader of the Tammany Hall operation in the US Democratic PArty. In the 1860's, he controlled every Democrat appointment in New York City and New York State. Tweed himself was elected to Congress in 1862 and the Senate in 1867. Nast satirised his connections with Jay Gould and Big Jim Fisk in a series of political cartoons from 1869. In particular, Nast focused on the huge amount of money lost as a  result of corruption in the operation of New York City. This contributed to Tweed's ultimate downfall as Tweed allegedly said: "Stop them damned pictures. I don't care so much what the papers say about me. My constituents can't read. But, damn it, they can see pictures!"\n\nTweed fled to Cuba and then Spain when he was captured. He dies in prison.\n\nPlease see the links for more info. A good biography is Boss Tweed: The Rise and Fall of the Corrupt Pol who Conceived the Soul of New York by Kenneth Ackerman published last year.

I have new epson stylus cx3600 printer. Just re-filled cartridges. However, when trying to start printer, I am getting "no ink" message. Certainly there is ink in the cartriges. Seems like the printer is coded against cartridge re-fill. How to reset the cartridge number stored in the printer memory?

I have a couple of new epson printers. \nThe new cx printers are extremely hard to fill. How did you fill them in the first place?\n If you drill or melt a hole in the top, in the EXACT \ncorrect position, and slowly fill them, letting the air\nand ink bubbles exhaust, then, they are "full".\nI weigh the cartridges when new, and when empty, and\nwhen re-filled, so that I know if indeed, they are\nre-filled. You can now buy gram or ounce weight digital scales\neverywhere, including kitchen stores, and retail outlets,\nand they are 20 bucks or so, and very accurate.\n Check the carts to see if on the front, bottom or back\nedge there is a tiny green circuitboard attached to\nink cart with two melted dots of case plastic posts.\n If so, then you have otherwise, a piece of plastic,\ncontaning 35 cents worth of ink, with a self-destruct\nprogrammable chip on it. Every time you use ink, the\nchip is programmed by 7 gold contact points, and the\nprinter "guesses" how much ink you have, and subtracts it.\nAt about 25 per cent to 33 percent full, the chip is\ntold that you are out of ink. This rather full piece\nof plastic, is then DEAD, and cannot be used again.\nI have used a new, FULL cart, and simply run the CLEAN HEAD\nEpson utility a few times, and been told that the carts are now\n50 percent Full ( HALF EMPTY !!! -- and I hadn't printed\nanything yet!!! )\nThe extra caution in telling a cart with ink in, that it\nis empty, is done to prevent the cart from ever really\nemptying, which would suck air into the carriage fill\npost nozzel, and into an inch or two of piping inside\nthe print carriage / head assembly, and in 20 minutes the\nink inside these tubes would dry, and almost permanently\ndestroy the tiny print holes ability to re-wet with any\nnew ink. \n  If you take out a cart, you must either put in a new one\nimmediately, or re-fill immediately. I have seen many \nEpsons in the garbage - all with badly dried print head /\ncarriage assemblies - if you have a SCANNER/ PRINTER, \nsuch as my CX printers, the second the print head is\n"told" by estimation software, that it is "empty" the \nentire machine, including the scanner is DEAD, since,\nwhen you turn it on, you cannot get past the ERROR\nink out message !!!!. \n  The Espon printers with the "new and improved" print ink\nheads and ink carts, are EXTREMELY fragile, and will\nself-destruct at the tiniest problem. If the power goes\noff, and the head is not parked, it dries out. If you\ntake out a cart and go to the store with the cart to \nmake certain you have the correct one, the print head\ndries out. You cannot take out the print head to soak\nit in water without completely tearing the printer apart,\nand removing the delicate microfilm plastic position\nstrip, and the drive belt, and many fragile parts...\n If you do manage to get the print head out, the print head\nis extremely delicate, and ordinary tap water will\ncontaminate the print head holes, and actually\nclog the head worse than the dried ink. Using paper \nproducts with sharp cellulose fibers clogs the heads,\nif you wipe the heads.. ( one webiste uses strips of\ncoffee filters and distilled water, with some success ).\n  The green, self destructing programmable chips on the\nempty pieces of plastic cases, ARE RE-PROGRAMMABLE, and\nprogrammers are available at most decent computer retailers,\nsuch as COMP USA, FRYs, Staples, Business Depot, etc.,\nsince these reputable companies know that the customers\nare being ripped off with being forced to purchase 50\ncent ink carts, that are not even empty, for 40 times the\ncost of manufacture! You MUST make certain that the programmer\nyou purchase LISTS the printer model, or the cart model,\nsince there are dozens of programmers, and Epson keeps\nchanging the programming on new models, so that customers\nare forced to buy only over-priced Epson" carts!\n I am surprised that you state you FILLED an Epson ca


Along with the possibility of Mars having signs of life, along with a heated asthenosphere much like ours at one point (Look at the SIZE of Olympus Mons!  That's a VOLCANO three TIMES the size of Mt. Everest!  Holy smokes, talk about a BIG eruption....) in the far past, do you think there could have been a civilization on Mars before humankind even thought to look to the stars?

There are polar caps on Mars that vary with the season. These are composed of ice, and dry ice (solid CO2). The Martian atmosphere is about 3% water vapor, which is the most water vapor that it can hold at its temperature and pressure, so it has a high relative humidity. We believe that Mars has permafrost under the surface. There appear to be runoff channels from water in some places on the Martian surface. \n\nIf there ever was a civilization on Mars, they did not leave much in the way of clues or ruins, or at least they have not been found yet, and I suspect they will not be.


I don't know if I use the semicolons correctly. I need this purpose statement into one original sentence. So please don't seperate them.\n\n\n"To create two simple robots; one is able to avoid obstacles; the other is able to operate by using solar energy."

The first semicolon should be a comma.\n\nImagine you're reading the sentence out loud.  You pause for a quick breath after the word 'robots'.  A comma does that.\n\nA semicolon links two separate ideas that are connected. The second semicolon is therefore correct.\n\nYour sentence should read:\n"To create two simple robots, one is able to avoid obstacles; the other is able to operate by using solar energy."

Do you think it's better to get a real rose or a chocolate one for VD?

I would say real ones. But if they love chocolate they would probably love that. I kind of like it when my husband doesn't do the "traditional" red roses thing. I would much rather get a pretty bouquet of pink tulips and maybe something else that wouldn't die or get eaten :) Something to remember. Tulips last way longer than roses too!\n\nBut everyone is different, get them what you think fits their personality.


how would demilitarization and revived economy help japan achieve democracy?


my teacher is male and i'm female.  I hugged him one day just to say "Happy New Year"  I think what I said came out softly, but after i was finished he asked me if I "Lost My Breath"  I was kinda freaked out.

I dunno about hitting on you...could of been poking fun at you cus of your possible reaction to a hug.  Sometimes i'll say things to girls just cus i thought was entertaining...not really hitting on them.

Benguela (São Felipe de Benguela, formerly spelt Benguella) is a port in western Angola, south of Luanda, and capital of Benguela Province. It lies on a bay of the same name, in 12° 33’ S., 13° 25’ E.\n\nBenguela was founded in 1617 by the Portuguese under Manoel Cerveira Pereira. It was long the centre of an important trade, especially in slaves to Brazil and Cuba. The anchorage lies about a mile from the town, in 4 to 6 fathoms (7 to 11 m). Besides the churches of S. Felipe and S. Antonio, the hospital, and the fortress, there are (as of 1911) only a few stone-built houses. A short way beyond Benguela is Baía Farta, where salt is manufactured and sulphur excavated.\n\nIt is the port terminus of the railway that runs from Beira in Mozambique through the Copper Belt of Zambia and Zimbabwe. In 1983 it had a population of 155,000.

Mensuration has been very regular since age 12 and follows a 26-day cycle. Last month because of separation from one and only one partner of 4 years was under tremendous emotional stress. Last month period was on 19th and its 21st today and still no sign of it. Unlikely that am pregnant as practised precaution and also cos of my age. Is there some test to find out whether menopause is here and whether i should start HRT,please. Will appreciate advice before going to the doctor. Medical is expensive here. Thank you in anticipation of advice from any kind soul.

Stress is probably the number one cause of irregular periods. However, assuming your age is 50, you very well could be in the early stages of menopause. Most women women start to experience symptoms as early as 40 years. If you have any doubts or are worried about menopause, talk with a doctor. As far as HRT's go, your doctor should be able to tell you if you need them. They may not even be right for you. In the meantime, relax, take a luxurious hot bath with lots of bubbles and slow down. Let your brain unwind. Talk to your doctor or gynocologist. They are there to help. Best of luck to you


I would like to find out the e mail adress of my favorite singers,actors just to tlk to them.


should students wear uniforms to go to school like should the admistrators worry about students to wear and not their education it shouldnt matter what the students wear it should matter if they are learning or not

For us it seems bad but just think how long can u were new clothes?After a month or so we'll be repeating and in an year?JUST THINK.Notonly that once we stop uniforms the students will be more beauty consious specialy in coed schools.Uniform's even better for poor people.Nobody can tease them for their poverty.So I think UNIFORM is the best


well, i was trying to capture some video images from my video camera to my pc, but i do not have the right program.i need  to dowload it for free. where cani find it?

You don't need a program, if you don't want to edit the video.  When you plug the camera into the computer, there should be an extra "drive" in My Computer.  Open that and just copy the files into My Pictures or wherever.


If a security update for windows has been downloaded on 1/3/06, can you delete that one if another security update has been downloaded on 1/15/06 or are both of those needed?

most computers nowadays will automaticlly use the better of the two. and since it is and update it improves an aspect of the previous version. look at what exactly what updated and if the new version is the an update for the last update your should be good to go ahaed and delete the old file

It's best to scan with several virus/spyware programs. There's several online ones free that you can use. I like panda and bitdefender best because they've found the most viruses. Bitdefender is slower but supposedly high rated. Norton causes crashes on startup sometimes. AVG is a lemming that tells you where the virus is and doesnt really remove it. Adaware is best for removing spyware.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/security.php


If Jesus died for ALL your sins why do you still have to go to confession.

Good question. \nLet me see if I can explain.\n\nOkay sin is all sin, but there are 2 "kinds" of sin. There is sin and then there are sins (plural).\n\nAll sin seperates us from God becasue God is perfect and he can't be with sin. So sin always blocks us from him.\n\nWhen we are born, we are born in sin, therefore sin is in our hearts. (To put it another way, we have a root of sin in us) That is why we need to be saved. When we accept Christ, he forgives us and that root (sin) is gone. We are completely forgiven, and we recieve access to God. That is what salvation is.\n\nHowever, even though we are forgiven and saved, we still mess up sometimes because we are human and we're not perfect. In other words, we commit sins. The sins we commit will not keep us out of heaven (becasue we have been saved)but they will keep us from God (because all sin does that). They get in the way of our faith and hinder our prayers. (For example have you ever messed up and felt guilty, then you were hesitant to pray because of the guilt?) Those sins will always get in our way, but as soon as we confess them to God, he forgives them and takes them away. Then the block is gone and he is free to continue moving in our lives. \n\nSo think of it this way, we are saved when we accept Christ, so we no longer have to worry about going to hell. But confession helps us to maintain a good relationship with our father.\n\nLook at it this way. If you have a child, you will love your child no matter what. Hopefully you would discipline your child, but you would never seriously harm them, and you would always protect them to the best of your ability. But if the child decided to rebel, run away from home, and "live a life of sin," it would be harder for you to protect the child, and the child would get hurt along the way. On the other hand, if the child was obediant and respectful to you, it would be easier and the child would be better off (safer, better taken care of becuase you would have the ability to provide better in that case). But you would still love the child either way right. In the same way, God loves us no matter what we do, but as we confess our sins and obey him, we give him more ability to care for us better. If we run away and rebel, he still loves us, but we are on our own to sufer the consequenses that go with the sin we commit. So obviously the best thing for us is to confess and stay close to our father, so that we may recieve the full protection and benefits. (Plus from the parent perspective that's what He wants us to do becasue he wants to care for us closely.)\n\nOf course how you confess is between you and God. Ultimately God is the only one you have to answer to. However confessing to others (whom you trust) often does help becasue it helps us to "walk in the light" and avoid sin. I personally have never been to a formal confession, but I have benefited alot from accountibility partners and groups. In other words I have turned to trusted friends and confessed to them when I needed to. They in turn prayed for me and encouraged me, helping me get through things I needed to get through in life. I would definately suggest hooking up with a person or small group where you can do this.


try joining sumthing new such as volunteer work or something else your interesterd in that way u can meet guys who u have sumthing in common w/


This is what bothers me: people asking silly questions about the workings of the military.  If you want to know why the military does what it does, why not run an advanced search on military code, selecting .gov for the type of site.  This is what really bothers me.

now come on, be nice.  its not your fault that there are so many people here who live life with their heads in the sand. don't let em  get to you.  its not their fault they have tunnel vision and selective hearing.  really, they don't know any better than to stay up on current events and watch the news once a month.  really.  hope this cheers you up some.


The smart guy.... what can I say, intelligence is attractive to me.


the original little mermaid cover was banned because of indecent picyures did anybody else notice or in the movie the one marrying Ariel and eric had a boner? im serious check it out!!! Yes or No and explain what u noticed or think about it

EVERYBODY noticed the cover of the LIttle Mermaid--the movie was made the year you were born!!!  You're just picking up on this NOW?!?!?! People were probably talking about this stuff before you could even speak coherently.  FYI, there are MANY other Disney films that also contain suggestive and sometimes obscene elements.  Lion King, Aladdin, The Rescuers--that one was made 3 years before I was born, and I'm almost a decade older than you anyway.  I think it's funny, and I was not only alive, but socially aware when it happened.  Don't waste your time--you are definitely not the first one to "figure" this out.  WTF....


My husband of 8 years molested my children and is now in prison. I can't afford a devorce or no longer to stay with this last name. I now have a new love and he wants to marry me. who can get into trouble

You'll have to get the divorce first. THe simple answer is that you cannot have two husbands under any circumstnaces. Call a lawyer.


How do you think the world will look like in the future? In 40 years? (In technology, enviromental, social terms)

Hard to predict. The world is a very different place now than it was 15 years ago so I am hoping that in 40 years we would have a Unifed theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics wich would hopefully lead to other technological, enviromental and medical advances. I don't spect world peace but hopefully hunger and poverty would  be a thing of the past. Enviromentally I think that it will be hotter and poluted and we'll finally start treating polution with the respect it deserves. I think the hopefully everybody would be equal and have the same rights. \n\nIt would also be great to have some cool laser guns to shoot some martians... :)


There seems to be an American phenomenon where a great deal of people are lumped into a category called 'white' people and 'black' people.  \n\nIndeed, I have yet to encounter a person with the skin color matching the white crayon I used as a child nor a person with the skin color matching the black crayon I used as a child.  \n\nIf one researches how the two colors are generally regarded throughout humanity (type 'white color' or 'black color' in a search engine), particularly the 'West', there is a general negative connotation for the color black, while there is a general positive connotation for the color white.\n\nWhen people discuss the color black and white 'together', it is nearly universally regarded as a dichotomy or complete opposite.  When this is applied to people, when a person calls another a 'white' or 'black' person, it automatically draws this dichotomy, this opposition, into existence.\n\nThink carefully next time you hear someone say 'black' people or 'white' people.

I think the majority of the people (including African-Americans) use the words "white" and "black" as a simplifier.  It is the same principle that an official in a basketball game uses to describe to the score keeper the player who committed the foul.  He commonly will say, for example, "push on number 11, blue team" when the color of uniform he is alluding to is actually purple or another odd darker color.  The same if the player is wearing grey.  The official will refer to it as white.  It is just easier for clarification.\n\nThere may be some hidden motivation for some people in the past (or possibly the present) concerning good/bad, black/white, but I doubt that most people get that from it.\n\nAs a matter of fact, I would guess that most people would rather have a black car than a white one.  White is plain (and usually less expensive).\n\nPeople will see what they want to see, I guess.


most of my friends are very controlling but i am the total opposite. why is it that i attract those type of friends.

You may not like the answer, but its probably becaus eyou let them control you, and these people tend to attract each other, I kno wbecause the same thing happens to me!


I have heard there are websites that provide details as to how much of a persons contribution actually gets to be used for the project/reason for the giving.

Here are three very good sites with ratings of different charities.


Typing...I don't get so side-tracked as often and usually remember the things that I wanted to say. Plus I type very, very quickly and I can just rattle things off the keyboard.\nBUT, nothing takes the place of the sound of the human voice!

For the most part it is on the phone but there are things I do have problems putting into words easily or topics that ii really can't talk about, for that I do type it out.  In some ways because I don't have to 'speak' the words i can get them out in a way that is clear and understandable.


Take into account the fact that a few days earlier a marine was killed after a grenade exploded from under a dead iraqi.

Yes.   I've seen that video lots of times, and the Marines are yelling at people to not move.    They also had an interpreter telling people to remain still.   When your ass is on the line, you should NOT continue to give people the benefit of a doubt because you'll end up dead.\n\nOur military is ALL VOLUNTEER.   Members know the risk when they sign up.   I know this because I have several family members who served in different branches of the military.\n\nWhether or not you agree with how/why our troops ended up in harm's way, you should consider it your civic duty to publicly support our troops.   To do anything less would be an act of ungratefulness.

I am starting a new plastic profile extrusion business and would like advice on how to get potential customers.

There are many plastics businesses already entrenched in the market, so your best bet would be to market your product/s based on competitive prices.\n\nA brief description of your competition is below:\n\n"According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were a total of 3,908 establishments involved in the plastics and basic forms and shapes industry in 2001. There were a total of 43,116 employees, with an annual payroll of approximately $2 million. In 2003, the workforce had decreased to 30,279 employees. The annual sales for the industry totaled $10.9 billion in 2003.\n\nThe plastics materials and basic shapes sector controls more than 30 percent of the industry in terms of market share. The sector consists of 931 establishments, with total sales of $3.3 million. The plastics materials not elsewhere classified segment made up more than 24 percent of the market, with $6.7 million in sales. The plastics products not elsewhere classified segment made up more than 19 percent of the market, with $6.7 million in sales. Still others included resins with sales of $24.9 million; plastics resins with sales of $8.7 million; synthetic resins with $3.6 million; plastic basic shapes, with $2 million; plastics film, with $3.3 million; and plastics, sheets, and rods with $4 million.\n\nA panel of 67 journalists gathered by the Newseum, a journalism museum, ranked the invention of plastic number 46 on its list of the 100 most significant news events of the 20th Century, according to a February 1999 American Plastics Council (APC) press release. Newsweek magazine seconded this opinion. As the APC reported in November 1999, the year-to-date plastic resin production by August 1999 amounted to 52.1 billion pounds, a 5.3 percent increase over production for the same eight-month period in 1998. August 1999 production reached 6.6 billion pounds, a 0.7 percent decrease from July 1999 production but a 4.1 percent increase over August 1998 production.\n\nBoth shipments and employment in plastics rose over the 1990s. Employment continued its annual growth rate of 3 percent since 1974, reaching 1,337,700 jobs by 1996, and shipment values continued their two-and-a-half decade growth rate of 4.1 percent, and between 1991 and 1996 alone shipment values rose 55 percent, reaching a value of $274.5 billion in 1996, according to APC statistics.\n\nThe 1992 Census of Wholesale Trade listed 3,490 companies as wholesale distributors of plastic materials and basic forms and shapes. Their combined sales totaled $28.5 billion. At least 160 of these companies reported annual sales of $25 million or higher. The industry employed 25,504 workers and posted an annual payroll of $803.6 million. These figures can be compared to those of the 1980s, where the 1987 Census of Wholesale Trade listed 2,744 companies in this group, with combined sales of $20.3 billion, 28,453 workers, and an annual payroll of $788.4 million.\n\nBetween 1988 and 1992, the average return on assets for the nation's plastic distributors dropped 45 percent, from 8.1 percent to 4.6 percent, although individual distributors had varying success. As Mark Bogin, of Roechling Engineered Plastics in Gastonia, North Carolina, observed in IAPD Magazine, "plastic distributors serve a cross-section of industry, and no two distributors serve the same market and industries in the same way." Bogin also said "there is hardly any industry that does not use our products, and regardless of general economic conditions there are always industries which are growing."\n\nAccording to a report issued by the APC in 2003, the overall industry had remained flat. The economy had weakened by the war in Iraq and the workforce continued to decline. The plastics industry being dependent upon other industry's needs for their products, felt the rippling effect of the downturn in the overall economy.\n\nIn 2004, the plastics market began to recover from the downturn and production of plastic resin rose to 6.


In other words, the kind of love that you never have to question or the motivation behind it.  Or in another way the type of love that most approximates the love we see in cinema.  In essence the love you know is right and there's never a need to doubt it??????????

love is when you cant live w/ out that person in your life. they are the last thing you think of before you fall asleep and they are the first thing you think of when you wake up, love makes your life enjoyable.  it is fulfillment and happiness to your life.  love brings light upon your life


i need to know how a simple photovoltaic cell can be constructed out of copper

I know of no copper-based solar cells.  They involve some silver alloys deposited on silicon semi-conductors.  If you need a copper based cell, try a strip of copper and a strip of zinc in a potato or lemon.  It will make enough power for an LCD cheapo clock or watch to run off for a long time.  \n\nThe chemistry, heat, and equipment needed to generate semiconductor material is way beyond the home-experimenter's abilities and budget.


Are Cardiac Catheterizations ever dangerous or fatal?

A procedure that introduces a catheter into the arteries of your heart carries a risk of death.\nIt is rare but it does happen. I had a patient go into cardiac arrest during a cardiac cath. He was resusitated.\nPrior to any procedure the surgeon will run through any risks the procedure might carry.


I have a laptop and everytime I log back into the system, I always have to exit out of all these status updates on the bottom right task manager.  \n\nWireless Network connection is connected.\nSecurity status\netc...\n\nPlease help if you know how to disable any of these.  Thanks!

Right click My Computer, pick Propertes, then go to Automatic updates, and click Turn Off Automatic Updates.  That stops the Windows XP updates.


when i was with my es-gfriend.i was so in love with her that i didnt think it could ever be possible to ever love another woman anywhere close to how much i loved her.i mean it was like i could just look into her eyes and id break down and do whatever .i did everything for her and anything she wanted me to do to her or with her i would do it..i dont think i was like p-whipped because im old enough to know better.well needless to say when she and i broke up my world came crashing down and it took me a while to get over her.i mean like over a year and since then there is a chance that she and i could patch it up but im not sure i want to , because i dont believe that we could get back what we had then..but on the other hand i've met a couple of girls who are really feeling me and i know would be good matches but im just not trying to get that deep anymore.i know if it does happen that i fall in love again i wont be able to help it..give some opinions on the matter....

don't hook back up with her again, I have a feeling shes just playing the "I wonder" game. Dont let her put you through another long, heartbreaking year! I say go for one of the other girls you mentioned, but please dont hold back your feelings just because that girl hurt you, we all should get a fresh new start with each other right, good luck.


How much do these people who stand on corners with "Will work for food" signs make per hour on average?  You'd have to have a good corner, you'd have to look pitiful, any other good suggestions?  Would a chair be too much?

They can average around $20 a day for a few hours "work".  They are usually NOT homeless.  I have heard that many of them refuse offers of work.\n\nMy grandson gave one outside our grocery store his allowance (4 quarters), and when we went to Pizza Hut after\nshopping, we saw him putting the quarters in the arcade game machine.\n\nIf you are planning on begging this way, be aware that there are territorial people (beggars) who will steal your money and beat you up.  There are also mean-spirited thugs who might attack.  In some areas thugs are going around with baseball bats and ruthlessly assaulting "bums".


i dunno, my friend mike and i had a discussion yesterday and it moved onto the topic about how incest is for arkanas (no offense to anybody in here), and i was like, what if you have a hot cousin, who is adopted? so thats what im wondering; is it incest if your cousin is adopted, and you have sexual relations with him/her?

Incest is defined as "Sexual relations between persons who are so closely related that their marriage is illegal or forbidden by custom" Personally i would believe it would be wrong depending only upon certain circumstances. Also it does depend on where you are some jurisdictions consider only those related by birth, others also those related by adoption or marriage.


Sure, just don't mention "evolution" though. ;)

- mass\n- surface area\n- volume\n- weight\nNO THIS IS NOT FOR A QUIZ OR FINAL. IF YOU DONT KNOW THE ANSWER OR DONT WANT TO HELP PLEASE DO NOT POST.

in reality, it is the surface tension (adherance of molecules to one another) and density of the fluid\nbecause the question does not state that the object is suspened in the fluid\n\notherwise the force acting to keep an object buoyant would need to equate and thus counteract the objects weight (which is the force of gravity pulling said object down)\n\nmass X volume = density which is a factor in determining a force acting upon the object; a force working to cause the object to disperse within the less dense fluid or conversely the fluid to compress and colapse the object\n\nSo the author of the question given is expecting the answer: weight


I have a website www.dropshipping-portal.com, which is indexed by yahoo. However, supposed only the index.htm was indexed & not the other pages, how can I make them to be indexed by yahoo? Thank you.

Hi, most noteworthy, you need backlinks pointing to your domain.. \n\nOf equal importance, you need to add your description and keyword meta tags(to every page), or it will not get indexed properly on any search engine.


hurting has been going on for several days.

ONLY SUGGESTION.  DOCTOR.  NOW.  DOCTOR. GO. MAKE THE APPT. DOCTOR!\n\n;)


I have noticed a few answers that seem to imply that.  I am curious to see if anyone feels that way.

For me, a belief in God through Jesus Christ is not a vehicle by which I seek to attain the lofty heights of “good person” status, neither is it inspired by something as vague as a “feel”. It is far more definite than that and I thank the Lord that He has helped me to see these things with clarity.\n\nBut getting back to the crux your question, there are many people that have led a more righteous life than I (and others professing to be Christian), who perhaps from our limited human perspective would “deserve” to be way ahead in the queue for receiving God’s salvation.\n\nThe properly understood, “Good News” of the Gospel however is that we do not (and can not) receive the gift of God’s salvation by means of any good deeds or works that we can muster. There is simply nothing that we can do well enough to “earn” our salvation.\n\nWe need no preparation, (it’s futile), we come as we are (because God’s love is unconditional), we do not put it off (it’s the devil at work), we place our trust in Jesus, the Son of God (His blood, our only means of salvation), and we believe it in our hearts, confess with our lips and receive…… We are born again …...and with God’s help and the guidance of His Holy Spirit we become His “work in progress”.\n\nAs for being a good person, I believe that every true Christian strives to fit that bill as indeed plenty of non-Christians do also.  You do not need to be Christian to be good, you do not become Christian by being good but good (or heading that way) is what every true Christian should be.\n\nMat 6:33\nBut seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.


My boyfriend and I are on the Body for Life program and we are heading into week 9. We definitely don't look like the people we have seen in the before and after photos - does anyone have any advice or explanations?

I disagree with the others. I have clients who have lost 50 pounds in 12 weeks. I mean 50 pounds is alot of weight. I think 50 pouns would make a great before and after picure. Don't let the others discourge you. I don't know about the body for life plan. If you are on a good nutrition plan with plenty of protein and fiber you will be amazed on what you can do. I have learned on my plan it works the best when you get the write amount of support.\n\nFor a free consultation check out this site

The front yard is like a blanket of acorns.  There are squirals around, but they don't seem to gather them up.

To honor the tree, ask, and be guided by higher forces. What you really want is a solution that will be kind to both of you. You should also want to review the nobility behind your Intent. I hardly think the good oak wandered into your area by chance. Or maybe could it be that destiny conveniently put you within its vicinity? There is a possibility that there is a lesson here for one of you if not both. Deal with the contract with love. Obviously for you to ask this question indicates great compassion already active within you. Your higher Self will guide precisely. Think and feel for mutuality. Ask guidance from the Highest. May you succeed with your noble intentions.


I really am searching for a job, as long as it is an internet-based kind of job, anything from, stuffing envelopes, processing e-mails, answering surveys, making academic research papers, academic essays, anything.  I am very good with the internet researching, and I can type real fast.  Anybody, who can advise me with what to do, please, I am very willing to know.  Because my problem is, I don't exactly have any capital, so to say, in order for me to join those kind of companies.  So, I need an internet-based job that's absolutely free.  Or for any case even just free only for a trial-period, that's fine with me as long as I can pay for the eventual fee, when in fact I've already had some money out of what I got during the free-trial period.  Please, I am a very trustworthy person, and I really need the money,  I am a college student, who can barely make ends meet.  And I'd really like to finish my schooling, as a bachelor majoring in Music. Thanx id do anything for Music!!!

I would avoid any online program that you have to pay to join.  I see that you are majoring in Music.  I would recommend going to craigslist.com and posting a free ad that you teach music classes locally.  I'm not sure what the going rate is, but I know you would make more money than any scam you find posted on here.

I'm not trying to incite any flames but in the recent past there has been numerous christian scandals. For example: molesting children.

It isn't jsut christian churches, it's ALL of them and the impact hasn't been good at all.  None handled them in a manner that was appropriate and swept them under the carpet.  Tht gave a bad impression to those following the teachings, making it seem hypocritical.  Combined with alot of other things that have gone on this is part of the reason for declining memberships and those turning away from religion.  You can't preach one thing then turn around and do the opposite and expect people to follow.


only have two wires in wall/one blue/one black, i can get one or the other to work, but not both, what's the secret?

I've done basic wiring for years and I've never seen a blue wire running through any walls.  You should have three copper wires, in a plastic wrapped "tube" ( for lack of a better word).  One of them should be wrapped in black plastic, that is your HOT.  Another in white plastic, that is your Common wire.  Then there is a non wrapped copper wire in between them that is your ground wire.   \n   Do NOT touch any of these wires without first making sure your circuit breaker is OFF.  Next, if you just have a Blue wire and a Black wire, DO NOT WIRE IT UP TO AN OUTLET OR LIGHT SWITCH.   A friend of mine burned down his house because he tried to wire his screened porch and didn't know what he was doing.  You need to contact a qualified electrician.


I upgraded from Win98 to WinXP and suddenly I do not have a color profile associated with my monitor, nor does the old color profile work with my new os. Help?!?

First, do you need a color profile?  Are you working in graphics design?  If not, don't bother.  XP should have the correct settings for your monitor already.  Right click on the desktop, and choose properties.  Under "settings" if you monitor is listed, then it's been properly identified and you're good to go.  If not, check out Samsung's own web site.


All i need is some tips about making good impression on my bot friend's family. :(

Be polite, and address them as sir and ma'am, offer to help with making dinner and cleaning up afterwards. Don't forget to make good eye contact and don't worry too much about conversation starters they'll more than likely handle that. Be a good listener. Wear something nice and don't wear alot of perfume make sure it's very subtle if any. Good Luck!\n\nAdditional:\n\nYea learning some small words would be great like "hello" and "no thanks" and "thank you" and "They scare me" lol and "good food" and "good night" or "can I help?" stay away from the pets lol. Have your boyfriend help with interpretation. You'll do great you'll see!

I have seen a new product called 'leaky cable'. It is used as a somewhat long antenna for Wireless Access point. Maybe in Warehouse environments. I am looking for pro or con opinions on this product.

My only experience was investigating whether they would be useful and afordable, and I concluded that if you want a reliable leaky-cable antenna that meets FCC specs, you have to pay a lot of money.  They are mostly used for cell phone access in tunnels, and other professional applications. Also, if you want even roughly equal radiation per meter along the cable you have to dissipate a significant amount of transmitter power in a resistor at the end of the cable, and wireless access points don't have that much power to spare.


tease ther man and what do you like to do and how far do you take it

i love to tease men. just with soft touchs and kisses. and sometimes i go down and lick a little then stop then lick again . also men love when i give them the "bedroom eyes" especially when its not possible to get down and dirty. it makes the wait worth it cause when we can  we go nuts!!!!

What player has had the most sacks in a single superbowl.

In his career, Charles Haley had 4.5 sacks (in 5 games) -- it certainly helped playing for Dallas and San Francisco, two teams it seemed were going to the Superbowl almost every year back in the 90s.\n\nThe record in one Superbowl: Reggie White had three (XXXI).


It's completely illogical! How do you get a repeating number for 70 years of bad stuff. Murder is as bad as you can get, but c'mon, an eternal sentence to fire and brimstone?

Well, Catholics have Purgatory. \n\nAnd there is one of the non-canon books of Apocrypha where Jesus goes down to hell at some point in the future and lets everyone out. In other words, he answers your question.\n\nOf course, one can say it isn't fair to say one sins for 70 years and then ceases to exist. But, at least as I see it, that's the way the universe works. You're here, then you're dead.


i am a mother of a 4 year old hes in preschool,and they get homework once a week just to practice to prepair them for kindergarden. i feel once a week isnt enough and i make him copys of the work sheet(s)  for the week and make him practice his letters, numbers 3-4 times a week. is that over doing it for his age?  i want him to be strong,repaired ahead of the game you can say. i make this practice time fun as posible! but iv been told im over doing it? i think not!  have you seen the work kids face in todays kindergarden classes? (pretty challenging stuff is you ask me) MY QUESTION IS AM I OVER DOING IT? thank you.

Hi, I was an early childhood major so hopefully I can help you out.  Kindergarten is becoming increasingly academic.  Working with him is a great idea!  However, preschoolers were not made to sit down and do worksheets.  Try to play some active learning games with him, that engage him and make him think.  Read, read, read!  Read to him everyday.  Try to ask him a lot of open-ended questions.  Preschoolers need to discover for themselves (with close supervision).  If he wants to know where mud comes from, make it.  You can also practice writing letters with him in the sand, by cutting letters out of magazines, using seeds and glue...anything you can think of.  Worksheets are good in some cases but there are a lot more things you can do that are more "developmentally appropriate".  I have included two links in the resource section that you should visit.  These are excellent and free publications from the United States Department of Education based upon years and years of research that would be perfect for you to read.\n\nHope that helped!

When in a relationship, it's probably a wise choice to ask your partner (if he is the father).  Support is very helpful when facing such decisions.  However, the father cannot make the final choice.  Pregnancy is something that physically affects only the woman.  It can be a very rough period of time.  Abortions are no walk in the park either.  A man should not be able to make a woman have an abortion nor should he be able to prevent one.

Thought i answered this one...hrm ANYWAY Yes in some places they weigh in the nude, i'd BET people look, and you only look if you are a) curious, b) insecure, or c) interested.\nIF they look then you can a) let it go, b) look back, c) confront them and get in a nasty little situation, or d) joke about it


It is a word my grandson has been saying since he was old enough to start speaking. He is almost three and has a good vocabulary and also has learned to sign. But he has been saying 'abbada' and pointing to the sky since he was about a year old.

Well, there is a word in Arabic that is Abbada but I can't find the definition.  I found Abada in a few dictionaries and it means, 1. rhinosceros 2. an innocent forest spirit in Tatar mythology. It looks like an old woman.  \nIs he mispronouncing something? eg. Above? A bird?


I just want steady returns over the next 2-3 decades.

Do we not all have a moral duty to report criminal behavior for the good of society at large - even if we don't have a legal obligation to snitch?

because in order too actually snitch on someone for doing a crime means that you were involved in said crime and you are being disloyal to your partner in crime by telling on him in order to save your own ass.simply reporting a crime that you witnessed does not make you a snitch.believe it or not there is loyalty among criminals,be it unspoken or what have you.its expected that by doin a crime with someone neither person will snitch out the other if one is caught and the other one isnt.do the crime you do the time.


LION Notebook, Model 6200AT (manufacturer actually is Kapok, Taiwan). says notebook on the lid and notebook computer on the bottom S/N: n6sd721200092\nFCC ID: L4PK6000T200\nit also says svgs/16xcd i need to know how much memory it can take how much hard drive it can take where i can get parts and what kind of battery it takes and if the cpu is upgradable or not

That's a really good question.  I did a reverse lookup of the FCC ID and got this page, https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/GenericSearchResult.cfm?RequestTimeout=500 unfortunately it provided no new insights on what you can do with your notebook.  It also appears that the manufacturer has faded into obscurity.  But there are two things you can do, one is to download Belarc Advisor, http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html to see what hardware you have installed, most importantly it will tell you what motherboard you are using and then you can look that up on Google.  The second thing you can do is to download CPU-Z, http://www.cpuid.org/cpuz.php which will tell you the speed of your memory and how the board is populated so you will know how to proceed with an upgrade.\n\nYeah, all of this kind of assumes that you are using Windows XP, if not I can't guarantee anything.

I'm trying out for softball tomarro and I need tips on how to stay calm and hit the ball.I want to be good.I'm trying out for SSBA and I'll make it anyway but I want to be put on the good team..Help pleas?

Stay calm.... Obviously, that's what you're worried about.  Visualize what you want to do in your head.  Visualize yourself succeeding.  Think about the successes that you've had in the past and realize that this is another area in which you can also find success.\n\nHow did you succeed in the past?  Was there any certain trick to staying calm?  If you do find yourself starting to panic, think of a song that gets you pumped up.  Sing it loud to yourself inside your head.... Then, visualize...

I had to a few yrs ago, it for two days I didn't like it because it was first time and I was ok until family& friends said " make sure u listen, because u do want to send a innocent man to jail or set a gulity man free" after that I was a nut case, I had a nightmare the night  b 4 the last day that I sent a innocent man to jail and as they were dragging him away he kept saying "I"M INNOCENT,IT'S YOUR FAULT LADY!!! I HATE YOU FOR SENDING ME TO JAIL" and he was looking at me the whole time. So I didn't like being on a jury, I hope I never have to again.

yes.... long and boring...! yikes... hope you dont have to go through that. plus you have to be part of making a decision and if your not good on decision making then you'll find that you really hate it.

Video images of British soldiers brutally beating a group of Iraqi teenages remind the world all too strongly of US-Abu Ghraib.. The pictures .. in the News of the World are highly distressing >> soldiers are chasing youths.. dragging them into compound jail.. beating them with batons .. kicking all over the parts of their bodies including blows to the genitals.  WHY ???

Cause the youths were throwing stones at them.\n\nThe video is over 2 years old and the soldiers involved are no longer in Iraq.

A tune up to start.Plugs,spark plug wires,7mm will do fine.I reccomend bosch platinum plugs or split fire.For a budget,as I am on also,a new air filter will do,I like K&N.A good low restrictive muffler and a 3 inch exhaust will be suffice.You may want to check into a chip if your vehicle has a computer.Stay away from nitrous,your bottom end will not hold.Run a good 89 octane.This will not only improve your power but will also help your fuel mileage.If you want to get wild tear out all the interior and gut the thing to lighten it.You may want to also look into aftermarket undersized pulleys.Your looking at around a grand still at that.You may want to consider a trade for a mid eighties mustang with the 302.You could build a beast with that.Gluck man.Power up....


Basically :\n\nHow do you add a picture to a yahoo mail - format when the company that you are trying to send a picture to will not accept any links or attachments (b/c of viruses) ?? They said something about copying and pasting but I cannot seem to do that with the pictures and insert it into Yahoo Mail! HOW DO YOU DO THIS?!

You can basically just DROP them in the text field for the message. However, to do this, the images must reside on an internet server, and be accessible directly (i.e. typing www.site.us/picture.jpg would open the appropriate image in your browser).\n\nIf you have the pictures already uploaded and if they can be accessed directly, open two instances of Internet Explorer (or any other browser which supports the rich text formatting in the text box), and shrink them so as they both fit in the screen. Have your "Compose Mail" page opened in one of the windows, and the image in the other one.\n\nNow drag the image from one window into the message text box of the other one.


my friend has an 8 year old felony and she even started her expungement process but dont go to court until march.She had 3 interviews at a company she really wants to work for,but today she had to go in for the background check.her felony was for writing bad checks and the lady that did the background check said she probably wont get the job now but its up to the district manager.but the real bad thing is they offered her the job already she was supposed to start monday the 20th,she already put in her notice at her current job even started training her replacement,what do you think will happen or what do you think she should do?

Call the employer and try to clear the issue up by confessing. \nHonesty really is the best policy, really!  I have been in exactly the same spot and being honest and up-front got me thru and I got the job(s).  If I didn't get the job being honest or not would not have mattered cause the emplyers rules were THE rules. Any crime recorded on the national data base called the NCIC which includes misdemenor of felony will be there forever, unless expundged and even then I would run a record check on myself. also there are FBI fingerprint records which  if checked  can have the reason for being finger printed-like arrest.  I have been fingerprinted many time for security checks involved with my work.  The difference F vs M in your friends case was due to the states statues on how much money was involved, not how much was lost, assuming she made restitution.  A suggestion would be to consult with an attorney in the state of residence to see how that states' system works.

I just got over my sore throat, and now i have another one.

Cut a lemon in half,put salt on it the juice will help your throat,also you can cut some lemon slices into some DR.Pepper,heat it up and drink it as hot as you can without burning yourself.Take a glass bottle,or jar with a lid,pack in hot peppers,then fill with vinegar,after sometime the vinegar will take up the heat from the peppers.A tablespoon of the liquid will quiet a cough,but only if you can handle hot peppers.It is also good on turnip greens.


if i'm a pervert, mean there are million of people like me... they make this kind of site be the richest site ever have.. in fact if u want to get rich quick, just create this kind of website... the traffic is god dam great!!! the most successful business online... let the numbers speak....

I agree with the other person, who hasn't? If you have never read a Playboy (yes, there are articles), or seen porn you're in desperate need of a culture shock. It is part of society, and you'll have to accept it sooner or later. It doesn't make you a pervert, unless that's all you do. I read the latest Playboy earlier, they're marketed to men, and you'd be surprised what they contain. You can flip past the boobs!


Or will I have to get a copyright in all the different countries?

you would obtain automatic copyright in any other country if your work was first published in one of the countries included among those who have signed the Berne, Universal Copyright or Rome conventions or the WTO agreement, even if you were not a citizen or subject of Canada, or of one of those countries.\n\nIn short, virtually everyone living in Canada can enjoy the benefits of automatic copyright protection. In addition, Canadians are protected in most foreign countries since most belong to one or more of the international treaties — the Berne Convention or the Universal Copyright Convention, the Rome Convention or are members of the WTO. Citizens of countries which are members of those conventions enjoy the benefits of Canadian copyright law in Canada. Canada also extends protection to certain non-member countries by way of notice in the Canada Gazette.


They do not cause hyperglycemia -- infact they can facilitate hypoglycemia! Most of the major adverse effects of beta blocking drugs result from beta-adrenoreceptor blockade -- ie: blocking the effects of epinephrine. \n\nEpinephrine, acting via the beta-adrenergic receptors, has important effects on glucose metabolism. It increases glucose production by stimulating both glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis from amino acids, glycerol, and pyruvate. It also increases the delivery of these gluconeogenic substrates from the periphery, inhibits glucose utilization by several tissues, and, via the alpha-2-receptors, inhibits insulin secretion.


I read in news that these Call Centers are popular in India, China as well as Philippines. And they make revenues in billions of dollars too.

is a service. ya get a room full of multilingual people to answer calls for companies from all over the world. charge a year/month/week rate. 1 center can handle thousands of companies at once. 50k will get a really big room filled with computers.


The nature shows may say anacondas when they are talking about anacondas but pythons when they are talking about pythons.  So which is it?

What do you mean by largest? Do you mean biggest weight or biggest length?\n\n**The heaviest snake in the world is the anaconda. They can weigh more then 500 pounds!\n\n**The longest snake in the world is the python. They can get to be about 33 feet!


ARe they still recording or did they quit?

You know, I haven't heard anything about them in a grip! According to their website, it looks like they are still around. Take a look...pretty interesting!\n\nApparently, one of the guys jumped of the stage at a concert, which ended up with him having back surgery.


I'm a shy, quiet girl around guys, but around girls I'm fun and bubbley and love to laugh. I like this guy and he has just about the EXACT same personality as me. We're both shy and so we don't talk to the opposite sex much....including each other. The longest convo we've had is when he borrowed a pen from me. I've never had a bf and am in 8th grade. I just want to know how to talk to him and maybe even get him to like me? Thanx so much!

first thing, quit talking badly about yourself. the thing that is least attractive to me in a girl is when she has no confidence in herselfif you are more confident, the easier it will be for you to get what you want.if this guy is shy like you, and has a hard time talking to the opposite sex like you, you are already showing some signs of things in common. just build up some courage, walk up to him and speak to him......about anything, it doesnt matter. when i was your age, i would have killed to have a girl come up and talk to me. i was very shy  and had a hard time chatting up the girls. after a while, i started gaining confidence and it made my whole high school years that more enjoyable, cause i figured out if you were confident, there was always someone to talk to, and if i talked to more girls, the better chance i had to get me one, or two. anyway, suck it up and talk to him, and the next guy and the next. it will always get easier as you do it more.


well really think he does not make it seem that he likes me i think he likes other girls which now i think he is too good for me but whatever i do not care he do not me i do not like him


was it something that belonged to another family member, or does it bring back memories of a happy time/event?

I have a box of momentos from years ago.  It's impossible to choose.  My grandma's wedding ring?  My diary from early childhood?  The first rose I was ever given by a boy pressed in a book?  I have been to blessed to say there is only one I could call most.

Give me examples: Also as a sidenote, why all the incentives to register if it is already against the Law, they should already be interested to register enough when they hear it is illegall to not have registered with the sss? It is illegall right?

pepper, that is wrong...\n\nIf drafted, you do not have the "choice" not to go. Though no draft has occurred since Vietnam. Today's military is completely voluntary, but the draft is and always will be there as an insurance policy if we are ever in an extremely bad situation. And if drafted everyone called must report. Refusal to report can result in action by the government.\n\nAs a matter of fact, I am one that believes that every able bodied person should serve. I believe it would keep us at a better state of preparedness and that it would cut down things such as unemployment and poverty. People who serve receive training that can be used in the public world as job skills. Self reliability and dicipline are also embraced by military training. Those are things that the younger generation of today is sorely lacking overall.\n\nAs for the actual penalties\n\nWhat is the penalty for not registering?\nIf you do not register, you could be prosecuted and fined up to $250,000 and/or be put in jail for up to five years. Registration is also a requirement to qualify for Federal student aid, job training benefits, and most Federal employment.


What do ya'll think, do we need gay marriage? I think so...

Gay people exist and many want to get married. The only thing stopping them are homophobics and politicians. And personally I don't think either homophobics or politicians have enough intelligence to make decisions on such things :)

hunting trip must include rates for in stater and out staters. trips must have everything included such as guide, lodging, meals, etc under $1500.00.  trips must included whitetail, fishing, bear, etc.

I don't think you can find all that for under $1500.  Either add more to your budget or remove some of your criteria to bring it under $1500.


300 million years ago the day was about 22 hrs long. Earths rotation is getting slower and the days will be getting longer. This is because of the tidal forces between the earth and the moon. Earths oceans are being pulled on by the moons gravity. But as the moon moves in its orbit the oceans cant follow in a nice bulge because of the continents. So the oceans form another gravitaional centre offset from the center of the earth. This out-of sync tug is whats making the moon move farther away from the earth. The same force is slowing the earhts rotation. The moon is moving away from the earth by a couple of cms/year. How much longer the day gets each year I cant remember. It´s in the neighbourhood of nanoseconds. A leap second was acutally added to 2005.


For some strange reason our sound keeps going away. We have tried everything and cant get it and it is awful because we have people who send us funny jokes that make no since if there is no sound. HELP PLEASE

Well turn on your speakers for one thing :D. Try to delete the sound card driver then reinstall it by downloading its latest driver from the sound card manufacturer's site. Also, unplug the sound card and clean its contacts then replug it back in. This could also be caused by spyware or virus. Make sure your antivirus, and antispyware are always updated. Then scan your system in Safe Mode. Make sure you are using SpywareBlaster, Ad-Aware, Spybot Search and Destroy and Microsoft AntiSpyware. They are all free.


How do you sing better? there are techniques to it, right?

no matter how young or old you are your voice and vocal cords continue to grow. thus you have to excercise them. alos they are a muscle so they need to be wamred up and taken care of. i would suggest begin with good posture feet shoulder width aprt back straight knees lslightly bent the front of your neck short and the back long. also when you breathe you should be able to place your hand on your back and feel you back expand. oh and when singing pronunciation is huge!!! long tall vowels and sing from your diaprham.

lol my hubby took his best friend with him to pick some out for me because he was too embarrassed to go by himself...I treasure the thought because I know how hard that was for him to do that.\n\nWhen he has gone on his own I got flannel PJ's with animal prints on them. LOL So I knew he had help with the sexy stuff.


Ok this spider had a green head but I didn't know if his head was green because he was sitting on a leaf or if his head was green.  His body had eight legs as any spider should.  His color was a yellowish clear color.  Go to my yahoo profile to see a pic of this wonderful creature.

Although PbO is coloured, lead crystal is transparent and clear.

First off lead crystal glass is not made of 100% PbO.\n\nLead glass is potassium silicate glass which has been impregnated with lead oxide (from 12% to 28% by weight) in its fabrication.\n\nThe introduction of lead oxide in varing amounts was employed for several purposes the first primary purpose was to design a type of glass that could block x-Rays second it was found that lead also increased the refractive index of the glass, and thus improved lustre, or sparkle.\n\nLead glass's primary contemporary use is in the construction of televisions and monitors. In a standard cathode ray tube, high-energy electrons are fired at phosphors painted on the inside of the tube. This impact creates the visible light the monitor or tv screen produces; it also produces X-rays. The lead in the glass acts as a barrier to this unwanted radiation.\n\nWhen lead glass was artistically cut and used to make table ware such as wine glasses and decanters it was called lead crystal.  Within the last 10 years it was found that  alcoholic beverages stored in a lead crystal decanter was capable of leaching the lead from the glass and contaminating the contents.

Consider the following, diamond is the hardest naturally occurring substance. Diamond is made of carbon atoms arranged in a tetrahedral structure caused by SP3 hybridization. The transformation of normal carbon into diamonds is achieved by subjecting the normal carbon to excessive heat and pressure, causing the rearrangement of the atoms into the SP3 structure. \n\nTherefore, consider the same effect of heat and pressure on the nitrogen atom. If this could lead to create an atom with SP2 hybridization arranged in one plane at angles of 120 degrees and then combined to form a hexagonal structure in one plane. What would its properties be?

I don't know if this would be possible. The C atom is able to acheive this state, which is semi-unique to the group IV atoms such as Si, Ge, Pb, and Sn. \n\nFor a hydrogen atom to acheive sp2 hybridization it would have to skip 4 base states. This configuration is 'highly' improbable and would be 'highly' unstable requiring a steady influx of energy to retain this configuration.


it depends on a lot of things if there were a lot of people and if you did your best and many more things but in all for you firt year it's not too bad

i am 6ft2 97kgs that means approximately 15kgs overweight guy. used to be a outdoors person now fixed to desk. can you help with a firm DIET SCHEDULE and WORK OUT SCHEDULED? I am hoping to get specifics here please.

I used to be 10kgs overweight and did the following (Lost about .5kgs each week over a four month period, trimed down more after that and am now at a stable weight with < 6% body fat)\n\nFollow the 80/20 rule. \n\nIf your diet is really bad, focus 80% on that, 20% on exercise.\nNutrition:\ncut out alcohol\nbalance 1 portion protein/1 portion carbs in every meal. A portion is what can fit easily in one hand - and eat lots of vegetables\ndrink 2 litres water\nhave 5-6 meals a day\nplan your meals the night before - be prepared\nuse only slim foods - no chikcen skin, no cream, no lollies/sweets. cut out butter, mayonaise etc, pizza, fried foods\nExercise:\nModerate all round for first 3-4 weeks - but - each worekout consists of 4-5 exercises, with 6 reps each:\n\ne.g Bench Press\nset 1: 12 reps, 60kg\nset 2: 10 reps increase weight 65kg\nset 3: 8 reps increase weight 70kg\nset 4: 6 reps increase weight 72.5kg\nset 5: 12 reps increase weight 75kg\nset 6: 12 reps new exercise from same body group e.g. incline press 50kg\n\nIf you want to focus on abs, do 3x20 crunches on a swiss/ exercise ball after each workout session.\n\nTip: your workout should only take 45mins each day - and try to do a minimum of 3-4 days per week. If you are keen on running, fit this in for 20 minutes every other day.\n\nDo this and you could expect to loose up to 0.5 kg per week, maybe even a kilo per week 9but no more as your body will not cope with such a rapid weight loss)

theres a pond on my property. a wet evesment was bought by the us government back in the early to mid 60's ive live in front of this pond and have been here for over 20 years,now an individual is wanting to stop people from fishing in this pond, he owns a portion of the land around this pond but the majority of it is on land owned by my me and another neighbor.I would like to know whom do i need to contact on this matter about getting a petition started. He wants to put a chain link fence up around the whole pond,We would like to stop this matter.

I would imagine that someone up at the Clerk of Courts office could help you, or possibly assist you in finding the person that you need to talk to about it.

LEARN and REMEMBER people. How many times does it have to be said?\n\n\n\nThe Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public law 107-243, 116 Stat. 1497-1502) was a law passed by the United States Congress authorizing what was soon to become the Iraq War. The authorization was sought by President George W. Bush. It passed the House on October 10 by a vote of 296-133, and by the Senate on October 11 by a vote of 77-23, obviously receiving a limited amount of support from Democrats, and must be considered an overall unsupportive vote when compared to the "war vote" for the Second World War and other more poplularly supported conflicts. It was signed into law by President Bush on October 16, 2002.\n\nThe Resolution cited several factors to justify a war:\n\n    * Iraq's noncompliance with the conditions of the 1991 cease fire


I have tried to find help all over the place, but people seem to jump straight into the messy details, whereas I need a step by step short guide to do it. Thanks.

I'm not sure if you have already installed MySQL and need help setting up the database or need help installing.  If you need help installing, check out http://groups.google.com and type in installing mysql.  You can usually find a wealth of knowledge on there.  If you have the program installed but need to setup the database, check out Webmin (http://www.webmin.com).  It is a web based application that makes setting up different aspects of a server much easier.

I went to a private college, spent 2 1/2 years in an honors program (completed), I recieved a partial academic scholarship (4 years) and a partial athletic scholarship (2 years). I gaduated in May 05 and decided to go into sales with a major insurance company. I absolutely hated this job and it took me about a month to quit (I am not the cold calling/sales type). I am currently substitue teaching and temping. I would love to get a masters degree but I do not want to rush into another field that I will also hate. I have a BA in Spanish. Can someone please give me some realistic career paths (not education please). In college I was told that my degree would open so many doors for me. Now I feel absolutely lost..............

when you buy or refiance a home you always hear the term it has to go to the underwriters what exacly does an underwriter do ?

The underwriter is a person hired by the loan company to make sure that the loan fits into the parameters of their lending guidelines, or the lending guidelines of the company the loan will eventually be sold to.  They double check all the loan officer's numbers for income, assets, liabilities, etc, also check the property reports to make sure they're acceptable.\n\nOnce the loan fits within program parameters, and all the documentation is in the file, they pass the file to the document department who draws the loan documents.


I have a tenant who is going to break his lease and walk away.  When asked to pay the owed rent on the balance of the lease, he says he is going to delcare chapter 13 bakruptcy.  How do I put his debt to me on the docket to be paid by the trustee?

Until the person actually files bankruptcy, you can proceed in attempts to collect the debt in any manner allowed by law.  Once the person files for bankruptcy, you must obey bankrupcy law and observe the restrictions of the automatic stay.\n\nIf the person files a Chapter 13 as you mentioned, they will be proposing a plan to pay back a portion of their debts over time.  With the new bankruptcy reform laws, attorneys are working harder to make sure all creditors are listed.\n\nOnce the bankruptcy has been filed, you can file a proof of claim even if you are listed as a creditor.  If there are are any assets or proceeds to be paid to creditors, you will receive your pro rata share.

a. Low to high\nb. High to low\nc. Level

When I hit topspin I try to come in fairly level to the ball but always finish rather high wrapping the stroke around my shoulder.  If I hit topspin by coming in too low at first I wind up hitting a loopy topspin shot that has plenty of spin but lacks pace.  This is not always bad, as I sometimes employ this tactic while playing defensively to stay in a point.  Loopy deep topspin shots can force your opponent off the baseline giving you a chance to retake the point.

If the entreprenuers are not after money as sole purpose, what else are they going afer.

Sometimes, more than the almighty dollar, entrepreneurs are attracted by the sheer "freedom" they get from running their own business.  It can also go along with the "satisfaction" and "pride" in "doing your own thing".  To me, money is an underlying thing, but it usually comes to those who truly enjoy what they are doing and who do it well.  So there it is, "Freedom, Satisfaction and Pride"


a person is scheduling the games for a volleyball league.  to find the number of games she needs to shedule, she can use the equasion g = 1/2 n^2 - 1/2 n where q is the number of games needed for each team to play each other exactly once and n is the number of teams.\n\nhow many games are needed for 7 teams to play each other exactly 3 times?\n\nhelp!! this is my homework!

First, I am not sure why you call this factoring. This is not factoring. \n\nThink of it this way. If each of the teams play each other once, there are G1=[N^2-N]/2 games. To see that this is true, just compute either \n\nN choose 2 = N!/[(N-2)!2!]=[N^2-N]/2 \n\nor \n\nmake a matrix with the N teams as both rows and columns. Every element of the matrix constitutes a game between two teams, one in the corresponding row and one in the corresponding column. One has to disregard the N diagonal elements, because a team cannot play itself, so there are a total of N^2-N games in the matrix, without the diagonal. Since this includes games when A plays B as well as B plays A, we have to divide by 2, to get again [N^2-N]/2.\n\nIf each of the teams play each other 2 times, there are G2=N^2-N games. To see this, just imagine the matrix of team-labelled columns and rows again, and subtract the diagonals again, so that both the games between A and B and between B and A are included, for a total of 2 games between each pair of teams. The number of elements in the matrix is N^2-N, ignoring the diagonal elements again. \n\nFor the teams to play each other 3 times, they can just play the one game schedule, and then the 2 game schedule, for a total of 3 times between each pair of teams, so:\n\nG3=G1+G2=(3/2)*[N^2-N]\n\nFor N=7, this is just 1.5*[49-7]=1.5*42=63.\n\nThere are 63 total games played.

this is on Romeo\n and Juliet in Act 2 scene 6

he means that love is a lot like a fire - the hotter it burns, the sooner it will be out. True love isn't violent passion, though they often happen together. True love is easy to overlook because it lies mostly in the small things that get taken for granted and are often not appreciated until they're gone.


For that matter, before the universe came into being. Its all very mysterious.

there are many things beyond our simple human capabilities and understanding. Many things we just don't need to know all the infinite details of ....\n\nand best left to our wonder and awe of.

I HATE IT I MEAN COME ON IM NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO HAVE GUYS CALL THE HOUSE UNLESS MY MOM KNOWS WHO IT IS AND WHAT WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT IS SO NOT EVEN COLL DOES ANY ONE AGREE?

actually, when  enter ur teens u start getting more responsibilities and more opportunities and chances to do things u weren't allowed when u were just 12. about the phone calls, then, i don't know. my parents care abot me but they dont get all suspicious or want to know who it is even if it is a guy. my dad would only ask just to tease me and ask if he likes me *rolling eyes* lol. 13 is still young but not too young. sometimes it really gets to me. (being too young to do anything)


if you don't know the guy you like..like you don't know him real well..how do you start conversation with him to get to know him. i've learned so far its best when he's alone. but he's never alone. he's always with his friends. so how do i start conversation with him and at the same time not push him away and make him uncomftorable and stuff...

ahh a very common problem...... don't worry about it, find an excuse to talk to him, tell him he has cool shoes, hair, or you like his shirt or something like that.  It will always work.  Then ask him where he got it and he will say something.  Then you have the opportunity to talk about where he got it from and eventually conversation will become natural.  See its just so easy. You also seem to have approaching problems.  If you want to approach him you could try to take a friend along but no more than one.  Also you could try hanging out near him, but not too close, and look at him and look away... look at him again and look away again... every now and then and see if he looks at you.  If he does he is interested in you.  If he still ignores you, you could try accidently bumping into him or something.  Find excuses they make it alot easier.  If you can build up enough confidence walk up to him and just start talking about watever.
