Describe the early time frame in which the target point of sale first began to be discussed as a potential\ntechnology that might become important in the future as the technology matured. Summarize the\nmajor characteristics of the IT, motivations for its use, etc. that led proponents to suggest that it\nwould become a major factor in our technological future. Identify the major concerns or obstacles\nthat led early skeptics to doubt the proponents’ claims.

Point of sale.\n\nTo some extent there has always been data collection at point of sale, but in the old days with simple cash registers it was difficult to track what individual items were being bought and sold making inventory a more complicated and repeated task.\n\nInitial point of sales didn't help inventory control very much since the amounts were being recorded automatically but not the items.\n\nThe real break through came with bar coding because the sale amount and the change of inventory were both recorded in real time.


He found out today 24Mar06, that he has stomach cancer. I am still in shock. Does anybody have any similar stories, advice or words of comfort? Can they cure it (advanced stomach cancer)? I read that it was extremely difficult to treat. How do you approach someone so young, handsome, smart, popular, and funny. He is also a new dad. He is 21 years old and his name is Andrew.

My favorite cousin was just diagnosed with inoperable kidney cancer, so I know how you feel.  The first thing you can do is educate yourself on the disease.  \n\nYou can read more about the disease at the following link: http://www.medicinenet.com/stomach_cancer/article.htm\nhttp://www.cancercompass.com/stomach-cancer-information/living-with-stomach-cancer.htm\nhttp://oncolink.upenn.edu/types/article.cfm?c=5&s=14&ss=105&id=9463\n\nRight now, I am sure your cousin is in shock as well.  I mean, we know how we feel, but we have no idea how THEY feel.  When Andrew has had time to process this new finding, I highly recommend a support group.  Call your local chapter of the American Cancer Society.  http://www.oncochat.org/ offers an on line support group in a chat like setting.  They also welcome family members of cancer patients, so you might want to check it out as well.\nhttp://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/support/organizations offers all kinds of cancer support resources.  I will think of your cousin, Andrew, whenever I think of my cousin, Hal.  God bless....


Who here thinks that Grey's Anatomy is pretty much the BEST SHOW EVER! And your why? Views on different characters, especially Meredith? She's really starting to get on my nerves.... gosh. Opinions please!!! =)

I love the show!  McDreamy is sooo hot!  I didn't like the rerun last night but it was a good one they chose.  As for characters - I liked George until he started acting like a child!  And I fell in love with the heart patient guy the first time around and still love him. Alex really bothers me - I'd like to reach through the tv and slap him!  Meredith needs to grow balls or move on.  At the same time, Derrick needs to loose the wife.  She is a nice enough woman, but just not for him.  She should go back to McSteamy.  The rest of the characters are just entertainment, but really good ones.


on a date is usually the best place.  agree to meet somewhere and then just be really nice about it and even if you use the cliche line "you're such a great guy, but this just isn't working for me."  he'll respect that you told him to his face and not just like a coward over the phone.  it might not seem like it at first, but he will respect you in the end.  it is another plus to building your confidence and becoming an adult.


I'm a big guy (6'3" @ 250lbs) so I need a large scooter. Any ideas? It has to be new. I want to finance it. And it has to have at least a 250cc engine. I will ride it for short distances on the highway.


Because I used to burn them all the time, but now they don't recognize blank CD's.

9 times out of 10 it's dead. These units do not last that long anymore. I've gone thru 3 in 5 years including name brand Sony to no name ones.

I live in Mt. Vernon which is where he grew up playing on the courts down the street from my house.

I used to live in the bronx myself ur probably familiar w/ the school i used to go to too... Cardinal Spellman High School... About Ben Gordon he is a tough little man who does what he has to do... He's what a point guard in the league should be like... he's swifty and has a nice medium range and outside game which is very essential in the league because not many have these characteristics... But lets not show him any disrespect either the man can drive the lane just as hard as an AI. Don't forget he's the bulls sixth man too.


I think there is more involved, such as living a Christian life and obeying the commandments of God, following his example and being baptized and continually repenting of our sins.

This is a widely accepted belief, often called "eternal security" or OSAS (once saved, always saved).  Baptists believe it, although Methodists usually do not, for example.  There are passages in the Bible that, when viewed out of context, lead one to believe that only a professed belief is needed to ensure your salvation.  I have heard ministers say point blank that it doesn't matter how you live or what you do in life, once you are saved, you cannot lose your salvation.  Others, however, see humans as free moral agents with the ability to choose to accept Christ.  Using the OSAS logic, you can get saved, then denounce Christ and worship Satan and still go to heaven.  It's a fascinating belief in my opinion...almost medieval.  However, I also see the point they make about salvation not being something you can juggle each day, gaining and losing repeatedly.  \n\nUnfortunately, even with churches every few miles in most urban and suburban areas, and around 70% of the U.S. professing to be Christian, we live in the most violent, immoral society.  Sadly, this belief that they say they have has not reached their hearts...or perhaps it's the OSAS belief that gave them a false sense of security in the first place.

I'm doing a science project and I need to know why this is so

For any kind of electrochemistry to occur, there should be electrolytes present in the fluid to transfer charges.  This is why salt water is more corrosive.

I am interested to know what other Americans think about thier representatives.

The present leadership could care less about the average worker Joe or Josephine. They are all about special interest. Every time you pay your heat bill, or buy gas or drugs you see it reflected in the price. A majority of the people are being run by the few in a situation brought on by a stolen election and an election that reaked of impropriety.

1. Boogeyman and Undertaker\n2. Mark Henry and Big Show\n3. Tajiri and Rey Mysterio\n4. MNM\n5. John Cena and Randy Orton \n6. The Dudley Boyz

I think that John Cena and Randy Orton would be a better tag team because I love them both.


My problem is that I lack the sense of wisdom. This makes me loose a lot. I am not tactful. I do not have any diplomatic approach.I need also to train myself on wise problem solving techniques.This is gonna make me a whole new person I am sure.\nnb: I am 24 years of age

If you are in college, some schools offer courses in Professional Development.  If you are not in school, try to find a mentor (someone you think is tactful and diplomatic) and mirror that person's actions and seek their advise before you approach others.  It is definitely not going to be learned overnight.


THEY SAID THEY WOULD SUE ME BECAUSE I LAUGHED AT THEM ON THE PHONE WHEN THEY READ OFF EVERYTHING THAT I SAID IN CHATROOMS.

We need a new term or slang for those individuals who, for their own reasons, feel absolutely NO DESIRE to fall in love (and will avoid it like the birdflu), yet are perfectly fine if others do. \n\nThe only term I can come up with is "Love Grinch."  \n\nAny other ideas for a new catch phrase ??  Who knows it may end up on a sitcom one day !

A person that is not interested in falling in love is known as a:\n         \n                       LACKLOVESTER\n\nThey lack the interest in falling in love and therefore, lack love in their life. They are a person, therefore, they are a .........ster. Lacklovester.\n\nExample: Because all of the men seemed to be interested in going in a direction which did not appeal to her, she found herself to be a lacklovester when it came to involvement in long-term relationships.\n\nRemember:       Lacklovester!\n\n\nHowever, if someone merely lacks a lover, this is different. They are then referred to as a :\n\n               LOVELACKER\n\nNow, do not jump to the conclusion that this is a negative state of being. Many a person is glad to be a Lovelacker. They find a sence of independence and freedom quite refreshing. But by definition, no one is in their life at present, therefore, they lack a love and are hence referred to as a Lovelacker. \n\nThank you for your time and attention.

Where do I start?  I am in USA, she is in Hong Kong.  She does not know how to begin the process.  I told her I would 'ask around'.

Tell her to write to the U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate.


Im getting fed up,  Im 23 I think im a nice guy altho im quiet and quite shy but to be it seems that Girls arent into nice Guys.  I like this girl.  Ive known her for like 5 months.  We’ve gone to Coldplay, and few different gigs and cinema etc.  Most of which I paid for.  Ive done her favours and stuff.  Last night I went into town with afew mates and she was out.  Just b4 we were going I went over to say goodbye and she completely blanked me.  Fair enough she’d been drinking.  What should I do? My mate said I should ignore her for abit?? I have no idea what she thinks of me, ive never asked altho ive heard her say she thinks my brothers cool.

You've fallen into the friendship trap, and she's using you. Seriously, girls like that are no good for a "nice guy" because they only respond to abuse. You will never get romantically involved with this girl, so stop paying for anything and tell her you're not interested in just being friends.


really, i,ve been unlucky w/ the other gender. the past 20 yrs. & 1/2 dozen relationships(some short and long term}

I've gone out with 5 guys all together and the fifth is my soul mate.  With the other four, I rushed into the relationship because I felt no one cared about me.  I didn't want to be left out so when they showed any interest I was hooked.  When I met my current boyfriend, I decided I would take things slow and be very cautious.  We've been together for two years.  We've been through A LOT of trying times and are still as much in love as the day we met.


because there 2 llllaaaazzzzyyyy to do there work.BUT they always asking u 4 money cuz they cant get a job

weird phenomenon, can anyone give an actual scientific answer to it?

Helium is much lighter than air. Because of this, the speed of sound is much higher in helium. When you inhale helium you increase the speed of the sound of your voice. The shape of your vocal tract doesn't change. If you increase the speed of a sound you also increase the wavelength. However, on the way to the ear the sound travels thru air again and the wavelength goes back to normal. It's not the change in frequency that gives you the squeaky voice but a change in pitch. The sound has the same frequencies but helium causes a shift in your timbre. This means the higher frequencies are getting a higher enhancement than normal so the pitch changes. The end result? You sound like a chipmunk. \n\nAlthough inhaling helium is fun it's not exactly healthy. Every time you inhale pure helium, you are not inhaling oxygen. Whatever you do, never inhale helium from a high pressure tank! Besides the serious risk of lung damage, you could end up with bubbles of helium in the arteries that lead to your brain. This can lead to stroke-like symptoms and, of course, death. Still laughing? Didn't think so.


I'm very confuse with this words in English

Hmmm lets see here\n\nat- describes location i.e. where is it "at". trying to find where ever "it" is\n\ninto- puting one thing into another i.e. put the flower "into" the vase. or in sentences like I'm going into the bar. \n\nto- could be used for directional purpose i.e.  go "to" the store. go over to the counter. etc.\n\non- usualy used for placment such as the apple is "on" the tabble. but can  be used as , what type of drugs are you on, meaning what type of drugs are you using(at that time)\n\nin- used alot like "in" for placment. is the suger"in" the cup , did you go "in" the store\n\nI'm not sure if I helped...If I've cofused you more then I appologize

in a girl's physique, nice ass or big breast ......and why?\n\nthank's ( be honest)

In all seriousness...will you be worrying about this when you're 50?  It doesn't matter.  Each woman is built different for each man.  And even though between the ages of 12-30 we're set on the physical features, sometime between there we actually think about what it is all about...companionship and emotions.  No matter how beautiful or ugly a woman is, our goal is just as noticable as yours...to find someone to be with.  At a younger age, this goal seems way far fetched and it may seem as though we only want one thing.  I'm totally going around your question, aren't I?  Sorry...My honest answer is that it really doesn't matter.  If a person (man or woman) is worthwile, they will look beyond the physical side and wont see anything.  Besides, your body is a canvass...and with scars, flab, big breasts or a nice A**...it's a great story to tell someone about where you got it from!


yeah that answers for these can go on forever.  \n\ndealing with strictly whole numbers and no negatives\na+b=700 has 701 possible solution starting from A =0 to A =700\nj+a=500 has 501 whole number answers\nc-400=j has infinte c = 400 and higher\nc/2=* has infinte and multiple of 2 going on forever\n\nnow we we count fractions and negatives  all will have infite answers\n\nif you take all equations as part of just 1 big problem you can limit the value of the possible answers\n\na+b=700\nj+a=500\nc-400=j\nc/2=*\n\nA = 0 - 700\nB = 700 - 0\n\nbut if A + J can only be 500\n\nA = 0 - 500\nJ = 500 - 0\n(B can only be from 200 - 700)\n\nbut if C - 400 can only be between 0 - 500 since J can only be 0 - 500\n\nC can be anything beween 400 and 900\n\nthen any even number between 400 to 900 can be divided completely with no remainder can answer for *\n\nso \nA= 0 to 500\nB = 200 to 700\nC = 400 to 900\nJ = 0 to 500\n\nif you were given what * is then we can get a definte answer.

I just got accepted to McGill University's Macdonald Campus and just wanted to hear more about it. I took the tour, but you only learn so much. \nI'm going for environmental science, and am deciding between it and the University of Vermont. \nAny input would be great!

Well, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue is a great little town to live in, on the water, quaint.  The campus is very separate from the main McGill Campus downtown...in fact the downtown campus students tend to make fun of the MacDonald campus, but they don't really have much connection other than the name.  MacDonald is connected to John Abbott, the CEGEP, so there are younger students around (CEGEP students are around 17-19 years old).  You're on the island of Montreal, but getting downtown if you don't have a car is long.  There's a shuttle that McGill offers between campuses in case you have classes downtown. Otherwise there's the 211 bus that will take you to a Metro stop - it can take between 45 minutes and 1 hour and a half depending on traffic.  My friend did environmental studies there and enjoyed it.  She spent her time between both campuses.  She was able to do lots of field work as well.  Montreal is a great place to live, you don't have to speak French.  In fact Ste-Anne's is in the "West Island" which is where the majority of the English population lives.  However if you want to learn French, the resources are there, you just need to take advantage of them.  Plus, if you're American even the international tuition will be cheaper than most American schools and also McGill still has its reputation as one of the best schools in Canada.  It's not easy though, you are marked harder here and there tends to be more competition between students.  Other statements about McGill are true - there's no school spirit, the football games aren't important (it is Canada after all...you're better off going to a Hockey game if you want to see a game).  The student body is made up of everyone from everywhere.  It's a very international school.  You'll get Anglophones and Francophones from quebec, tons of students from the rest of Canada, especially Ontario and all over the world. Students from Europe, Africa, Australia, South America, the Middle-East and Asia are just as common.  If you're American and planning on coming to study in Canada it's always good to be sympathetic and respectful of the country you're planning to live in.  Despite our proximity, we really are two different countries with very different value systems.

want to cut my calories from 1000 but dont know how low is unhealthy or unsafe.

What Is The Lowest Number Of Calories I can Eat and Still Achieve Healthy Weight Loss?\nUnless you are suffering from serious or morbid obesity and are under medical supervision, the lowest recommended calorie intake is 1200 calories per day.\n\nFor most people even this number of calories is too low - an intake of about 1400 calories is better. \n\nLosing weight is not simply a matter of reducing the amount of calories you eat. Most studies show that increasing exercise combined with moderate calorie consumption (1400-1500 calories) remains the most effective way to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight in the long term.\n\nTo Check your personal calorie needs, see Calorie Needs for Women:  http://www.annecollins.com/calories/calorie-needs-women.htm


Any hunters heard of this happening to people?  I'm just curious, a few of us were trying to set up the scenario where this might happen, the best we could come up with was 'sneezing'.

Bird hunting like they were has the highest frequency of shooting accidents, because the hunter must always make a snap decision on a flush.  That is why rules should be established ahead of time and followed by the parties.  That's where they went wrong....2 individuals broke common sense rules. That said, wounds in these instances are often superficial and rarely result in death.\n\nBig Game wounds with high caliber rifles are much rarer, because the shooter typically identifies the target and waits for a clear shot....does not shoot on a snap.  But when they happen they are often fatal.

It seems that most people, and governments, allow the excavaton of graves of a certain age, or certain religions, to be dug up, dismantled and things found to be distributed to museums and private collectors.  What is the difference between digging up a grave of someone who died last month, one who died 100 years ago or one who died 4000 years old.

Very well put question! \nIt's not OK to dig up anyone's grave.\nThe older the grave, the less likely people are to care\nor protest if it's desecrated.\nBut it's still wrong to desecrate it.


Is there any reason why an absolutely normal person should not drink Soy milk. ? My friend tells me they stopped having Soy milk in their house as Soy milk is not good for health. He doesnt know the reason why they dont have Soy milk in their house.

Soy milk is not bad for you. In fact, if you're lactose intolerant (you can't digest milk), soy is one of the alternatives. My son drinks it for this reason. But at the same time, make sure you get enough calcium, protein and vitamin D because those are supplied by milk products.


I'm 15 and I think I'm suffering from Depression. My parents don't believe me and tell me that it's just a phase, and that I'll grow out of it. \n\nI think it's because the past two guys I've been "talking" with broke it off with me FOR THE SAME GIRL!!! Everyone seems to be taking her side, even though she stole my best friends man. \n\nI just don't understand why everyone likes her and not me?\n\nShes a very plain girl, ugly teeth, doesn't care about her self image, has no curves, who always wears sporty clothes, and never does anything fun.\n\nBut I'm the complete opposite. I'm adventureous, fun, have straight teeth (never had braces), pretty. (I don't think so but people always tell me that I am) I'm mixed (so I have a big butt)and in general I just think that i'm a great person.\n\nIs there anyone out there that can help me understand why guys choose ugly girls over pretty ones?

Well, from your description of yourself, you dont sound very fun. And some guys may chose girls that in your opinion, are ugly because they are beautiful inside. They arent shallow, self absorbed or hung up on their looks. \n\nYou ever hear that looks arent everything? The lack of time you feel she may spend not caring about her looks, she may spend actually getting to know these boys. She may honestly care more about them and less about herself.....\n\nBeing shallow and self centered is the downfall of most "pretty girls." Being pretty doesnt make you better than anyone, nor does it make you worse. It just makes your pretty, and if your beauty is all you have to offer to someone, well it just isnt enough. \n\nKudos to the boys at your school for picking someone of substance over arm candy.

In 1893, it became the home of the first heated pool in Washington, and the park was re-christened with the grand Latin name for pool: natatorium.\n\nThe park was originally intended as a destination to boost ridership on streetcars. Washington Water Power, one of Spokane's major streetcar operators, owned the park for many years.\n\nA newer indoor pool, The Plunge, was built in 1910, and it boasted 300 individual dressing rooms.\n\nA black family was refused service at a Natatorium Park restaurant in 1900, prompting them to file Spokane's first racial discrimination suit. The family lost.\n\nThe Nat Park Carrousel, known as the Wedding Carrousel because so many weddings took place there, later became the only attraction to survive the demise of the park. It is now the Riverfront Park Carrousel.\n\n\nyou can get the rest of the info from this site.. below

Cutty Sark was built in Dumbarton, Scotland in 1869.

History\n\nThe ship is named after the short shirt worn by the fleet-footed witch featured in the poem Tam o' Shanter written by Robert Burns. She was designed by Hercules Linton and built in 1869 at Dumbarton in Scotland, by the firm of Scott & Linton, for Captain John Willis, and launched November 23 of that year.\n\nThe Cutty Sark was destined for the China tea trade, at that time an intensely competitive race across the globe from China to London, with immense profits to the ship to arrive with the first tea of the year. However she did not distinguish herself in this trade; in the most famous race, against Thermopylae in 1872, they left Shanghai together on June 18, but after two weeks Cutty Sark lost her rudder after passing through the Sunda Strait, and arrived in London on October 18, a week after Thermopylae, for a total passage of 122 days. Her legendary reputation is supported by the fact that her captain chose to continue this race with an improvised rudder instead of putting into port for a replacement and still managed to be beaten by only one week.\n\nIn the end, clippers lost out to the steamships, which could pass through the recently-opened Suez Canal and deliver reliably, if not quite so quickly, which as it turned out was better for business. The Cutty Sark was then used in the Australian wool trade, and did very well, posting Australia-to-England times of as little as 67 days. Her best run, of 360 nautical miles in 24 hours, was said to have been the fastest of any ship of her size.\n\nIn 1895 Willis sold her to the Portuguese firm of Ferreira, where she was renamed after the firm, then in 1916 she was dismasted off the Cape of Good Hope, sold, re-rigged in Cape Town as a barquentine, and renamed the Maria do Amparo. In 1922 she was bought by Captain Wilfred Dowman, who restored her to her original appearance and used her as a stationary training ship. In 1954 she was dry-docked at Greenwich.\n\nCutty Sark is also preserved in literature in Hart Crane's long poem "The Bridge" which was published in 1930.


In standard form, the equation is x^2/5+4y^2/5=1 (x^2 divided by 5 plus 4y^2 divided by 5 = 1). First, find the center of the ellipse: (0,0). Then find a. a^2 is always found under the first variable in the equation of an ellipse and b^2 is the under the second variable. a^2=5, therefore, a = sq. root of 5. The same goes for b. b^2=5, therefore, b = sq. root of 5. Next, find c: c^2=a^2+b^2, c^2=5+5, c^2=10. Now draw what you have on graph paper: graph the center. Because in the equation the x variable is first, this ellipse is horizontal. When you graph a, it must be horizontal: graph two a's: one about 2.2 units (sq. root of 5) to the right of the center and another the same distance to the left. Then graph two b's: one about 2.2 units above the center and the other the same distance below the center. As you can see this will be a circle. Take a compass and draw the circle. You don't really need to find the foci to draw the ellipse but if you want to, the foci is (h +or- c, k), where h is the x-coordinate and k is the y-coordinate. h=0, k=0 so your foci are (0+sq. root of 10,0) and (0-sq. root of 10,k).\nI hope his helps.


Im trying to create a website but I have to use Php and Mysql among other languages. Im getting confused on whether or not Im supposed to create tables in mysql before creating the forms in php.

Your question is a bit too broad to answer fully.\n\nThat said, you can use PHP just like you would any old HTML document.\n\nPHP will already be installed by your Web hosting company. You shouldn't need to install anything.\n\nMySQL is not really a language; it's a relational database management system.\n\nGenerally speaking, if you intend to make a data-driven Web site, you need to have the data -- or, at least its structures -- in place before you can begin programming. \n\nYou should start by getting a copy of "PHP For Dummies." It really will help you.

Is there a way to keep windows from ever fragmenting files in the first place so that DiskKeeper or PerfectDisk or other programs have to do so much work?  But mainly I am dying to know, why does Windows scatter pieces of a single file even on a volume w/ wide open space(s)?  Also, I hear rumors that Linux doesn't do this.  Is this true?  It sounds like a "penus envy" statement to bolster Linux, perhaps not, but if Linux cleanly places files on drives, why can't windows?

Most likely the reason you will encounter fragmentation on a disc with lots of free space is because the filesystem probably still tries to keep files close together (to reduce head travel on the hard drive and speed up access times). On a disc with lots of free space, the original writes will typically not be fragmented, but as soon as you begin deleting and adding new files, the filesystem will probably fill in the empty blocks where the old file was first (thus leading to fragmentation since the new files will likely be of different sizes than the original).\n\nAs for filesystem fragmentation in linux and UNIX. The non-fragmenting file system is pretty much a myth. Most of the major filesystems in use today (reiserFs, ext2/3, XFS, JFS...) as far as I know, they all will fragment over time. The difference between windows and linux/UNIX though is that with linux or UNIX (or any os designed properly from the ground up as a multi-tasking os) file system fragmentation will have a negligible impact on performance. The best answer I can give you for this is http://aplawrence.com/Bofcusm/834.html . I could try to reword it, but it's really put about as simple as possible and I think that the explanation would lose clarity if I tried to condense it down.\n\nSo basically, filesystem fragmentation is inevitable on any os, it's just that for linux and other *nixs the operating system and drivers were designed in such a manner that filesystem performance will have a negligible impact on performance in almost all cases.


My child goes to a public school, as he was playing with his friends a staff member told him to go sit down. He didn't listen at first, but when the staff member repeated he was about to do it, he gave the staff member attitude, so the staff member pushed him and told him to stop being such a little girl. I don't know what to do?

Teach your child to obey authority figures, respect his elders, and to NOT have an attitude. He'll get through life uch better.

I will graduate this year with a GED, I want to know will be be famous if I play basketball for a good college.

If you are a standout player and stay focused you can become famous. Don't let basketball become your only skill though. Make sure you have a backup plan and dont bank on b-ball as your only future endeavor. Say you do become famous but you did not pay attention to your lessons in class. No one wants to listen to a bumbling idiot for a celebrity. You might get injured and your career could end just like that. Then what? You could become a coach, a sports commentator...anything in the same industry. If you do become famous don't spend your fortune foolishly...look at Mike Tyson..he lost his money to his manager and his women. When you make it big dont live too large...invest your money for your future in case the career does not last. But also think of something else you might like to do in case your plan falls through. This way you will not be so disappointed. Take some computer classes if this interests you. Do you like to take things apart and fix them, put them back together? then maybe a repair or tech job is for you. Cut hair?(barber)..cook food? (Chef) Teach kids how to play basketball? (School coach).....I don't know what your other interests are. Go for your goal of becoming famous but don't find yourself sulking if it doesn's work out- keep up your education and you can find your niche. Good luck- see you on TV.

On his website he implies that several post have publicly insulted and embarrassed him. He has been accussed of Sock Puppetry, Writing a program to do his rating and several other methods of cheating. He also states that he has talked to a lawyer. What do think will he sue?

It all seems a little unreal, he seems to be a little too into himself. It doesn't make sense, why would you spend money on lawyers when its such a pointless case? Just unreal.

I told my friends all women who were friend with me just came for my face not for fly size.when you took your man what was your preference?Am i wrong? my friends and may be all men waiting for your honest reply.

I tend to choose a man for his character.  Do I like who I am when I am with him?  Am I comfortable around him?  Is he respected in the community?  Other things like that.  With that said, a nice face and fly size is a bonus.


There's no mistake on my part.......but he think's so...it's days since we've spoken to each other....i don't no what to do....pls help...I am 14.....

He doesn't hate you! It is common in most guys to not call a girl after a breakup especially if it hurt them. Most likely he hasn't spoken to you because he doesn't want you to know that he misses you etc. He thinks there is a mistake on your path because he is ashamed of what he did or didn't do. It is just a way to remove some of his guilt.If you haven't tried calling him i think you should; but don't mention anything about your relationship. Talk to him as anyother friend would.Try not to focus on you.Ask questions to make him do most of the talking.


maybe someone knows of a free fault current calculator on the web?  thanks

How about this one?\n\n"This calculation module allows you to quickly calculate fault currents for a complete radial system. It can simultaneously handle a main distribution transformer, service lateral, second transformer, up to 40 main-feeders, with 8 main-feeders having 40 sub-feeders for a total of 360 nodal points. \n\nAccommodating both single-phase and three-phase circuits, the module will calculate from either infinite or known fault current values at either the transformer or the main-bus. \n\nThe module accommodates multiple conduit types, bus types, multiple conductors and motor contribution. The program is based on the popular LICE (point-to-point) calculation method. \n\nOur unique Help file (of which we are quite proud) includes complete practical guidance on Fault Calculations, and even includes a theoretical derivation of the LICE method.

A credit card company is still showing a charge off even though we agreed to a settlement and I paid them (less than the total amount owed).  The settlement was in 2003, almost three years ago, can they still show the account currently in Charge Off status?

Recently, both of my bf's grandparents died and now he doesn't believe God exists, or that God isn't important in his life. How can I bring him back to God? He refuses to go to church or youth groups with me.

You can't.  God tells us "You can't guide whom you please, but God guides whomever he wills with no accountability".  Fact is, we have no power to convert.  We only have the ability to convey.  It is up to the individual to accept or reject.\n\nOne thing you can do is be an example.  Show him how fulfilling your life is with God at the center of it.  Also, pray for him.  Just keep in mind that the death of close family is a test for a person.  Maybe his test involves casting doubt on his belief so that when the light shines through again, he will have stronger faith.\n\nAnd God only knows best.


I can't afford all the necessary tests. Maybe an herbal remedy would help? Or some kind of kick start.Or maybe someone is aware of a study I could volunteer for? I'm in LA

Sometimes I feel like I don't have any friends. I have two different groups of 'friends' but neither side is very close. For example, they are indifferent to whether I sit at the table or not. I feel very ignored and I don't know what to do. I really want a friend...and I know it sounds stupid to not have friends, but I don't want to just be with superficial people who I just say hi to and talk for a few minutes. \n\nHow can I make more friends? Do I have to be preppy to achieve it?

I wouldn't worry about it. Most people will end up disappointing you anyway.


The cities in Africa considering bids are Cape Town, South Africa and Kenya (most likely Nairobi.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Summer_Olympics#Africa \n\nThe cities in South America are Buenos Aries, Argentina; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Chile (possible Santiago).\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Summer_Olympics#South_America \n\nI say the best African candidate city is Cape Town and the best South American city is Rio de Janeiro. I hope that the 2016 is in Cape Town because I think that an Olympics in Africa could help the continent by making it a place where international multi sporting events can be held in the future. I am not sure if Cape Town will put forth a bid for 2016 but if they do not put a bid for 2016, I can definitely see them putting forth a bid in 2020.

That has been Jacques Rogge's desire certainly. When he was elected President of the IOC prior to 2002, he did say that he wanted to see the Olympics hosted by an African / South American nation just like Pele was pleased to see the 2010 World Cup be hosted by South Africa.


Drago - 6'6, 260 lbs.\nKlitschko - 6'8, 245 lbs.\n\nYou all remember Ivan Drago from Rocky IV - the Russian giant who could punch at 1850 pounds per square inch.

(stats at http://www.klitschko.com/en/index_en.html )\n\nThinking of prime Klitschko vs. Drago, who would win and why? If you think it'll end in a knockout, what round?

I have to go with Drago. Klitschko would make it interesting for the first 3 rounds, but Drago's relentless power would soon overwhelm his opponent. I say Drago KOs Klitschko in Round 6.

ok this sunday i haft to fly in a plane and i am so scared what are somethings i can do to make i more soothing!!!

Flying in a plane is perfectly safe. Crashing is a bit of a problem, though.\n\nThere are lots of really strange and unpleasant things that can and do happen to us in everyday life. I think the best policy is to be vigilant without being so worried that the good things actually pass us by.\n\nWhen you realize that the risk-assessment that we all do on a daily basis is pretty flawed, and mostly irrational, you could either be just as scared of flying, but even more frightened about crossing the road, or you could put it all in perspective.\n\nA few years ago I settled on the idea that worrying too much about what is going to happen to me (beyond taking reasonable care of myself, not smoking, obeying street signs, and the like) was more a function of egotism, of putting too high a value on my own life. This, paradoxically, means that I was building myself up rather more than I deserved or needed to. \n\nThis may sound a little odd at first, but if I look at your position, here's how it would go: are you afraid of the plane crashing? or are you afraid that YOU are going to die in a plane crash? There's subtle difference. If you don't put any more psychological importance on your own life than you do on the other anonymous people on the plane, you're much less likely to be paranoid about flying - and much more likely to pay attention to the statistics that show that airplanes are relatively safe transport.\n\nIf you're living now, what's the big deal about dying, anyway? We've had this opportunity to experience the world, and someday we're not going to be here. So, what? If you want to imagine what it's like to be dead, think about what the world was like before you were born. You weren't here, even though people you love were already around. You don't miss it. Everyone went around doing what they doing and saying what they say with no help (or hindrance) from us.\n\nLove life, but not so much that it gets in the way of the long view.

Funny how it seems to describe everywhere that pretty much doesn't have white people, save for Japan really.\n\nI used to live overseas in a "third-world country", and it wasn't that much different from America, opportunity wise and living wise.

It may not be 'racist', but it certainly smacks of being totally 'materialist'-ic !


The girl I thought was pretty has a bf. But they just got together, so it they have not been together that long. I want to win her over. I know I can be the better person for her.

First, see if she's attracted to you. If she's not, don't waste your time, look for someone else.\n\nIf she really  IS attracted to you, then try to interact with her regularly and things will flow from there.

can ppl actually grow taller if they jump and stretch alot?

In theory, it's actually the reverse...it will make you shorter.  Let me explain how it works.  \n\nWhen you jump and stretch (some muscle groups), compressive forces act on your spine and intervertebral disks.  Some of the forces are vertical, some are interdiagonal.  Your disks are collagen packets filled with water. As you jump and stretch (specific muscles) you decrease the amount of water inside the disks part of which help make up the height of your torso.  Throughout the course of the day this happens naturally anyway, however physical activity such as those activities mentioned can accerlate the process.  As you sleep and rest, the water is then reabsorbed.  That's why people are typically up to 0.5 inches taller in the morning.


Please dont piss me off with silly answers. LOL.

I don't know if there's much etymology of the phrase, but here's an article about it which puts forth some interesting possibilities of the origin.\n\nQuote from the site:\n\n"Some linguists and historians think the expression must have been well known during the war years, citing a story about General Eisenhower's dog. The story goes that the dog (Felix) urinated on a map and the officers joked that the enemy was "pissed off." (Leonard Mosely, Marshall, 1982)."


should i ask the girl out next time i see her?

Yeah why not.  You have nothing to lose.  If she likes you she'll let you know right then and there if she'll go out with you.


My guy friend is one of thoes weired types of people that lets certain people boss him aroun, but all of a sudden, I feel like he is in total love with me.Sometimes he tells me he loves me (in a joking voice) around our friends. Wats dat supposed to mean?

well he could be inlove with you and you or he just dont know it yet guys can act so stupid when it comes to stuf like this and they dont know what to do so they just act stupid you will know probaly sooner than later if he does and would that be such a bad thing anyway?


I was just wondering if they really make you look old before you normally would if you didn't smoke.

i have a serious relationship with this guy, then this morning he called and said that he's married... for more that 14 years. He said he have to let me go... coz there is no future for us... \n\nwhat should i do... should i just go out there grab the nearest guy and have a hot, hard, wild sex with???\n\nor just stay home feeling sorry for my self???\n\ngimme idea... coz i love him so much... n i want to let him go...\n\nor... should i fight for him??

No you shouldn't fight for him because its a pretty good chance his wife doesn't know about you. Especially if he's hidden this all this time. And I don't think getting out there and screwing the 1st dude you see is the answer either. Just focus on getting him outta ya system. You deserve better


I appreciate that they have their own perspective but sometimes it is just inappropriate and irresponsible. For example I once answered a question about a girl who was pregnant, depressed and no longer taking meds who was asking about herbs and some fool had told her to "just try prayer". I mean come on, seriously. If they fell down and broke their leg would they "Just try prayer". Oh no, they'd be down at the hospital.\nOr there's the people who ask others "Are you a good person" or "Are you going to heaven" followed by paragraphs of scripture. As though they are the judge of these things.\nPeople need to be able to make SOME decisions without running to the bible every 5 seconds.\nI'm not at all anti-Christian. I'm anti the judgemental-Christians who seems to be on some kind of recruitment drive to out-compete all the other judgemental Christians which Yahoo answers seems to be full of.\nA bit of a rant I know. I'd appreciate your comments.

I couldn't agree more.  I'm getting tired of all of the sermons ans scriptures made to look like questions.  It's completely ridiculous.  There are some good Christian people here who don't do those things.  They're usually the first ones to speak up when the bible pushers start too.  These people give the entire faith a bad name.\n\nOh, and don't even get me started on the ones who post scripture and sermons in all caps.  \n\nOne more of my pet peeves, those who answer questions about other religions with "Find Jesus", "I'll pray for you" or "You worship Satan."  Give me a freaking break already!   Do they honestly think they're helping their faith by acting like this?

What kind of jobs pay the best without specialized training or a degree.\nAlso my kids will be going to college soon. They will need good jobs too, as there is not much money put away for them.\nPlease, any ideas would help.

for 3.95, but they ended up charging my account the S&H and then $106.90 a week later.  I called and they said that I agreed to it.  I don't remember seeing anything about that, but who knows.  My question is, I thought contracts and check purchases required a signature.  I didn't sign anything, can they hold me to this?  They obviously rely on tricking people to make their money, is this legal?  Will my bank claims dept. (which I have contacted) be able to reimburse this charge?

Besides contacting your bank, you and everyone who has had a similar experience should write or e-mail the Secretary of State where this vendor operates so that Consumer Affairs in that state is on notice of a potentially fraudulent operation.\n\nWhen I was similarly fleeced I got all my money back.  The bank considered the vendor's actions unethical, and required only a signed statement from me. (Wells Fargo Bank)\n\nGood luck.

why large diameters fibres conduct faster than those of smaller diameter?

The first thing that you really need to pay attention to is the dynamics of the wire itself and not the physical size.  Your statement is very bias as I could say that why do fiber optic lines tranmit so quickly and the wire holding up the golden gate bridge is not quicker???\nThe quickest and best answer unless you have degrees in physics is the density of the fibers.  It all comes down to density and a mirid of other factors, but density is the key my friend.\n\nHappy conducting my fiber friend!

I recenlty visited hospital (so was a bit worried/stressed) they took my blood pressure and it was 150/70 they didn't seem worried but I am overweight and it seemed a bit high! Should I be seriously concerned or not?

Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood against the walls of the arteries.  It results from two forces, one is created when the heart pumps blood into the arteries and through the circulatory system.  The other is the arteries resisting the flow of blood.\nThe higher (systolic) represents the heart contracting and the lower (diastolic)is the heart relaxing between beats.  A blood pressure of 120/80 is considering optimal for adults over the age of 18.  A blood pressure of 140 over 90 is considered hypertension.  Yours of 150/70 is considered mild high and many factors affect blood pressure, one of which is weight.  Others are stress, salt intake, exercise, race, age and alcohol consumption among others.  150/70 is not terribly high but then again the higher the number the greater the risk to good health.  Not being a physician, my advice would be assess your lifestyle and have it checked again.  Don't stress yourself out before visiting your clinic and ask questions that concern you, they are the best resource since they have your health history.  You can also visit www.americanheart.org, which is considered one of the top online resources for a healthy heart.

Your teacher/sponsor should have given them to you. If  he/she hasn't, then ask him/her for them. They came with the packet he/she recieved.


can you tell me about the overdenture, its occlusion, and attachment

An overdenture is when a denture is retained by a fixed body within the jaw, that remains beneath the denture. The fixed body may be a retained, root-filled tooth root or a titanium implant. This has an attachment, usually the "male" that fits into a corresponding "female" attachment retained by the fitting surface of the denture. They are quite stable, especially the implant-retained overdentures, and the full denture varieties ore often occluded into what is called centric relation, where the jaw bites in a readily reproducible arrangement.

I also am a little mad about the whole hispanic dispute we are having i am not racist i just feel that we shouldnt be settling something like this during other major conflicts.... dont be rude

Why not like Bush...\n\nWell, war would be a start.  Second, illegal wire tapping.  Third, staying in Iraq for years.  Fourth, does Bush know what a veto is?  Of course, not he just rubber stamps congress.  I can keep going, I'm just sad I was once a proud supporter of him.


talk to the person. like dont show it but get to noe him and become a good friend of him. if he likes u he might ask u out or something. good luck ;)


i hear if you go in there you dont come out. whats up with that? is it physics or what?

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as Devil's Triangle, is an area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the southern tip of Florida. It is claimed that within this zone many ships and planes have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances. The United States Coast Guard and others disagree with the assessment of paranormal activity, arguing that the number of incidents involving lost ships and planes is no larger than that of any other heavily traveled region of the world.\n\nThe first mention of any disappearances in the area was made in 1950 by E.V.W. Jones as a sidebar on the Associated Press wire service regarding recent ship losses in the area. Jones' article notes the "mysterious disappearances" of ships, planes and small boats in the region, and ascribes it the name "The Devil's Sea." The area achieved its fame mainly because of the 1974 book, “The Bermuda Triangle” by Charles Berlitz. The book consists of a series of “mysterious” disappearances of ships and aircraft, including the December 1945 loss of five U.S. Navy Avenger torpedo bombers, known as Flight 19.\n\nThe Bermuda Triangle has been attached to many bizarre theories to explain the nature of the disappearances. The list includes transportation by extraterrestrial technology, a "temporal hole" of some form, the lost city of Atlantis, and other supernatural causes.\n\nSolid research done by Lawrence Kusche, and published in 1975 as “The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved.” show this area of water to not be such an unusual place. It showed that the proportion of boats and planes to go missing to be no greater than any other area of water. Of course the debate still goes on about the area and the statistics are spun in whatever direction a new report or book wants them to lean.\n\nIf there is mysterious goings on in the area the most likely explanation is the abundance of methane hydrates in the area. A methane hydrate is a form of water ice that contains a large amount of methane within its crystalline structure and is solid up to 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Ruptures of the hydrate can release vast amounts of methane gas. This gas could cause the density of the ocean to reduce enough to sink a ship in the effected area. The gas could also affect aircraft by lowering lift, giving false altimeter readings, and even stall and aircraft’s engine. These effects of methane gas have all been experimentally proven.

Because sometimes it's just fun to be someone/something else for awhile. \nWhile my ex and me were trying to conquer one of the Zelda's on Super Nintendo (ironically, I forgot which Zelda it was...but it was fun!), we barely stopped for five whole days until it was done. Shamefully, I must admit I even called in sick to work a couple of those days. Metroid Prime on GameCube was also starting to become an obsession, but luckily I realized it just in time! I try to stay away from video games now....they are just way to addictive!


I cannot see the Tampa Bay Devil Rays winning a World Series this decade and they have very long ways to go before they become a championship team.

Not only can I not see them winning a World Series this decade, but I'm not sure I see a team continuing to exist in the Tampa market through the rest of the decade. They need more fan support to improve and survive and Tampa doesn't seem to be offering a whole lot of support right now.


beautiful. big, but still elegant and not gaudy. love the saphire accent stones, gives it more character, without going over the top. and it looks expensive, which  is always nice. enjoy it!!


People don't want a true lifestyle change, they simply want to continue the status quo and hope that the weight comes off.


It just seems like everyone ends up in a business-type environment locked in an office and additionally go through 16 years of being locked up in a school to get a good job and good career? There seem to be a lot of chances for mistakes in school, and a genius, incredibly smart, could in reality just not be cut out for the school-like environment and thus not even make it to the real world to help his fellow man with his knowledge---just because he wasn't perfect in school and his "grade" didn't say he was smart.\n\nIf this was confusing, sorry I've been thinking aobut it alot and it's not quite refined yet enough to a point where i can easily explain it,

From my experience, I do not necessarily agree with your statement. I think that ultimately, it really depends on your personality and your strengths. \n\nCEOs generally do not make as much money as someone who runs their own business, but the flip side is that they have a more secure job. People with higher education find that the opportunity cost of leaving their well paid jobs to runs around and start their own thing is too high and usually just stick on doing their job (forever an employee). Those with less to lose may decide that their job is not worth that much and the opportunity cost is small - start their own business.  If that business is successful, you make a lot more money and become financially independent from others.\n\nIt just depends on what kind of risk profile you can accept, and whether you have the conviction and courage to pull through a business.

I am taking cymbalta for major depression and I don't know much about it. Is anyone on the medication cymbalta? If so what are your experiences with it? I know depression hurts but what pain does it relieve exactly?

I have been on Cymbalta for three months.  Not only has it not helped depression, it also does nothing to relieve any physical pain that I can see.


guys give girls promise rings... can a girl give a guy one? cause i'm giving my girl an engagement ring.. and she thought about getting me a band... not a wedding band..more of a promise band... is that possible?

of course sHe can give you one. she just wantsa make sure you dont get away cause you were drunk one night with no ring. she wantsa keep ya safe. it is very possible. its just like when a girl proposes. it doesnt happen often but when it does take it as a majior complement!!!


The position that I am applying for offers relocation assistance for new hires.  However, as a local candidate, I won't need to relocate.  But dollars are dollars and it seems this is the only time to capture this benefit.  (And it is real dollars saved by the company, when comparing me to other canidates.)  Is it reasonable to ask for a cash starting bonus instead?  Any specific recommendations on how to successfully field this proposal?

Probably not. Some companies will offer a signing bonus, however the relocation assistance is to attract qualified employees from outside the local area. It's probably also a tax write off for the business. Paying you a signing bonus doesn't achieve that and if they give it to you, they'd have to give it to everyone they hired.\n\n You can always ask about it, but if you really want the job, don't push the issue.


i work in a Release of Information dept and i'm questioning if it is against the law to release std's and other diseases like TB without an authorization from the patient.

A lot of people are grossly misinformed about HIPAA rules. this includes "oldlady". Sorry dear, but you need to brush up.\n\nIt is necessary to release PHI to the health department in order to prevent threats to public health. This is a contentious part of my job. I do disease surveillance and I have to request PHI everyday, but people who work in medical records often aren't aware of the codes (CCR, Title 17, § 2501) that exempt me from submitting authorization.\n\nCCR, Title 17, § 2501 (as stated below) requires Californian health agencies to report PHI (STD, CD and TB) to the health department. Other states in the US have similar legislation.\n\nhere is some Californian legalese:\nExisting statutes related to this activity are nonspecific and may be subject to interpretation.  The following existing statutes may authorize this activity\n\nH&S § 101040, authorizes the county health officer to take any preventive measure to protect the public health during a state of emergency\n\nH&S § 120175, requires the health officer to take measures as may be necessary to prevent the spread of disease or occurrence of additional cases\n\nCCR, Title 17, § 2501, requires the local health officer to take whatever steps deemed necessary for the investigation and control of the disease, condition or outbreak\n\nCCR, Title 17, § 2511, requires the local health officer to determine the amount and kind of communicable disease by such methods as deemed necessary


Muslims and Jews don't eat pork (ham), and the men get circumsision... and fasting in both consists of not eating nor drinking during the fasting hours and both don't believe in Trinity...\n\nSo why do Chrisitians eat pork, don't get circumsised and don't fast as in the full form of fasting? (I understand the part of Trinity, so you can skip it.)\n\nIt's known that pork is a very dirty animal.. extremely dirty actually.. and also circumsision is healthier for men and keeping that part of their body clean and prevents cancer... so?

I believe that there's no such thing as Christianity, it's something invented by Paul and the Roman after, if Jesus know about this he would probably disagree, he was just a Jewish reformer..


1. composed of idiots\n2.  a wide mix\n3.  mostly intelligent people\n\nPlease elaborate on your answers.

A couple of my relatives signed up and they've turned from mild mannered, considerate people to obsessive, pushy, chatty-Kathy dolls. It's like they've joined a cult. What can I do to get them off my back?

I grew up only minutes away from Amways Corporate Headquarters... but surprisingly, haven't been harrassed by to many "Amway People"... It seems as if their business motto is "fake it til you Make It" and "NEVER take No for an Answer"  they are really into the "SALES" thing.  The sad part about that is that there are many who truly believe what has been promised by their "Upline" and for some this is an attainable goal... However, most seem to be very pushy for a few months and then see that they are losing friends.  People are no longer ansewering their calls, and no one is accepting their dinner invitations any longer.\n\nI think Amway is one of the companies that gives MLM a bad name.  They have a set quota that they have to reach each month and in order to advance need to be that pushy.  But, to be fair, one can say that about a lot of the "sales people" out there.  (try walking into a furniture store, car lot, or even electronics store)  \n\nTry explaining to them that you have heard bad things from too many people.  Or even tell them to get back with you when they can show you checks to back up their statements (that's what worked for me... still waiting for someone to "show me") I did have one person, show me what did work for them... wasn't Amway tho.\n\nPersonally, I wish more Amway people would contact me about Amway (as I said, I have found a program that ACTUALLY works, without the high volume requirements, doesn't require all the high pressure sales or inventories.)  So my new response is to "SHOW them" my program and then help them to actually reach the goals they have been unable to reach with Amway.\n\nThey are only trying to help... maybe you could "Help them" to find something less Pushy!!!


First, I'd pay off my debts.  All of them.  Then I'd pay a few things several months and/or years in advance, because I'd like to avoid being another 20 grand in the hole, if you don't mind.  \nThen I'd buy myself a home and a car, and shoot some cash to my parents for putting up with me & my BS for so many years.\nNext, maybe I'd seek out some of my friends who need some help.....more morally than monetary, and help them do the same things I'd just done for myself.  And set up some college/trust funds for their kids.\nMaybe I could find some good organizations to donate some money & some time....like Habitat for Humanity or something.  Maybe get in the school board's face around here, and tell them I'll do a little something with their budget, but in return they have to step up their curriculum & stop graduating idiots (I heard our schools are like 49th in the nation - HELLO).  Maybe I'd travel the country & speak in schools about my lifestyle & where it got me (I'm a bad, bad girl).\nAnd somewhere in there I'd go do some crazy shopping & spa-type things, with a health club membership b/c I'm fat & lazy & that's gotta go.  And put my own self through college to get a few degrees that might be worth something  :-)


through free agency, do you think Matt Lienart and Vince Young will be drafted lower then expected?

Young is most likely going to the Titans. I can't see a more better place for him. Did you know that Young idolizes McNair. It's the place for him. As for Leinhart, he's going to be drafted a bit lower than expected, yes. Unless some teams draft for that higher draft pick.


my hubby thinks i don't want in him cuz i told him my sex drive was gone. i love him deeply and he refuses to sleep with me cuz he thinks i don't want or love him. how can i convince him ido love and want him now more than ever?we r havin alot of problems because of mean things i've said but i didn't mean any of it.how can i make him understand?

Get him some reading material on menopause or take him to the doctor with you and let the doc help explain what you are going through. Maybe also try to get some marriage counseling before things get real bad. It worked for my sister and her husband. Good luck to you.(p.s. It wouldn't hurt to give him a little extra special attention)

Why is Texas really called the Lonestar state? I never did understand this, and I thought someone here might have this bit of trivia stuck in the back of their mind.

texas gained its independence from mexico with little/no help from the US so when they won they became their own country and then a little while later the US annexed texas making it a state. Basically it was one star of the Us flag that stood on its own, so its the Lonestar state, and their flag has one star on it.


HECK NO!!! TO BE HONEST THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IMMIGRANTS...According to the NCPA, "illegal immigrants paid approximately 46 percent as much in taxes as American-born citizens, but they received only 28 percent as much from the government." AND WHO CLAIMED THIS TAXES BACK?

I think this things is just making us fight between latinos vs United States People, thats sad.

I really like the way it looks. is it as good as it is from the outside?

the only cobra that was produced in 2000 was the limited production cobra r which featured a 5.4 liter v8 and was rated at 385 horsepower...only came in red...ford cancelled the production of the cobra in 2000 because the 1999 models did not produce the horsepower that ford claimed...the cobra returned in 2001 with all 320 horses under the hood (1999) models fell quite short of that figure...again the cobra disappeared in 2002 and returned in 2003 with a supercharged version of the 4.6 liter engine...\n\ni have driven several cobra models of that particular body style (except the 2003) and they are an excellent choice...they feature independent rear suspension instead of the solid rear axle like the GT models and base models for better handling...they come with ABS, they come equipped with traction control that can be deactivated with the push of a button (big fun)...they only feature a manual transmission however (thats all i like to drive lol)\n\nall cobra models feature the dual overhead cam 32 valve 4.6 liter (281 cid) v8 engine\n\nthe 1999 and 2001 cobras were rated at 320 rw horsepower with a 5 speed manual and the 2003 cobras were rated at 390 rw horsepower and featured a 6 speed transmission.

besides the assignation of the arch-duke and nationalism, what lead to world war I?

Entangling alliances triggered by the assassination.  Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia because of the assassination.  Serbia was allied with Russia, so Russia was dragged into the war.  Germany mobilized to attack Russia, but Russia was allied with France so France came to Russia's defense.  Germany and France had been at war before and had plans for invading each other.  France's entry into the war led Germany to use one of their old plans for invading France which required them to march through Belgium.  Britain was allied with Belgium and had pledged to help Belgium in the event of an attack by Germany, so Britain was pulled in on the side of the French and Russians.  Since Britain was involved, that meant all of her colonies were involved as well.  \n\nThe book The Guns of August has lots of details on the causes of the war.\n\nAlso, check out the Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_World_War_I


Every hand movement is converted into electricity. Is there a way to measure how much electricity is generated by the single movement?

According to how stuff works kinetic watches (at least some) hold the energy in a spring that is wound when the watch is moved.  So electricity is never really used.\n\nI am updating because after further research I found this site that shows a kinetic watch using electricty.  A couple of ways to figure this out could be to use a multimeter to where the charge is held, maybe a coil with a total voltage multiplication of one near the watches coil then connect to a multimeter, and the best choice contact the watch maker!

I've noticed that I'm feeling a little spacey (but I do feel calmer and less anxious) and I've also noticed some sexual numbing; hopefully these are temporary side affects.

Well, I'm not middle aged, but i am on Lexapro 10mg.  Some spaciness is normal for the first couple of weeks, it will taper off.  There are some sexual side affects that i have as well, but nothing like the ones i was having on other anti depressants.  Those too should taper off the longer you are on the Lexapro.


SHould i do it in IM\nor EMAIL\nor Note \nOR phone\nor IN PERSON

If you can , just pay attention to his actions.  Make eye contact with him, and smile a lot.  If he likes you , he will do the same thing. \nThen, talk to him if he is too shy. \n\nAs a pernet myself, I don't recommend more than just talking!!  Have fun, and good luck!


I was living with a man when he bought a house which has now gone into foreclosure.  It has been about 8 months since I have lived in this house and originally signed nothing as far as getting the house, it was all in his name.  Can I be held responsible by the mortgage company even though I was simply a room mate?

If you didn't sign the final closing documents and were not married to him then there is nothing you can be held responsible for.\n\nEven if you filled out some of the first applications you would have needed to sign at closing. Even if you intentionwas to be with him and pay it off together, your intentions at that time do not hold you accountable legally if you didn't sign your name.


I have recently just started running again (it's been about six years!) and cannot remember all of the stretches to do before and after running. Runners, what do you do?

Here's my routine:\n\n1) Toe touches with one leg crossed in front of the other (make sure knees aren't bent).  Hold for 20 seconds, and repeat 3 times.  Do this for the right leg and then the left leg forward.\n\n2) Leg stretches.  Facing forward, standing, spread your legs apart about 3-4 feet.  Bend down and stretch to your left foot, right foot, then center ground, as far as you can (but don't strain yourself), holding each time for 20 seconds.  Repeat 3 times.\n\n3) Trunk rotations.  Standing straight, with legs slightly separated, begin rotating your body, just at the waist, in a circular motion.  Complete 15 rotations in a clockwise motion followed by 15 rotations in a counter clockwise motion.\n\n4) Shoulder rotations.  Spread arms straight out, and rotate them in a forward circular motion, first as large of a circle as possible, followed by a smaller circle, and finally a very small circle.  Do for 15 seconds each circle size, and then repeat, doing it in a reverse motion.\n\n5) Neck rolls.  Standing the same way as previously, tilt your head to the side, and then rotate it in a clockwise circular motion, for 5 rotations.  Repeat in a counter clockwise motion.\n\n6) Hamstring stretch.  Sitting on the ground, pull both of your feet as close to your buttock as possible.  Then, try to get your knees as close to the ground as possible.  Hold for 20 seconds, and do for 3 repeats.\n\n7) Hurler's Stretch.  Lay on the ground, with one foot straight forward, and the other bent away from you (shaped like a V).  Lean forward and try to touch your toes, holding for a count of 20.  Repeat 3 times.  Then lean back, and try to get your bent leg to touch the ground, holding it for a count of 20, and repeating for 3 times.  Switch the leg you have forward and repeat.\n\n8) Calve stretch.  Lean against a wall with your feet out about 4-5 feet.  Keep 1 foot with the heel completely on the ground, and lean forward for 20 seconds.  Switch legs and repeat.  Do both legs for 3 repeats, and then do another 3 repeats while keeping both heels on the ground.\n\n9) Quad stretch.  While standing straight, grab one foot, and pull it back towards your buttock until you feel the muscles in your front thigh stretching.  Hold for 20 seconds for each leg, and repeat twice.\n\nWow!  That takes a lot longer to put into words than just doing it!  Remember to take it slowly when you're starting out, and to just enjoy your runs.  Doing some stretches after wards is also a good idea.  I hope the above helps, and I wish you success in your running endeavors.


Is it appropriate to address myself in the third person as in "ONE SHALL BE PLEASED TO ACCOMPANY YOU" or "ONE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT THAT WAY".

You can, of course, use the "one" - or even the imperial "we" - if you so choose; however, both sound stilted and condescending.  Even the grammatically correct answer to "Who is it?" - "It is I." - sounds stilted.  I suggest you read the very funny, somewhat new grammar book: EATS,SHOOTS,AND LEAVES; the answers to most current grammar/syntax questions can be found within.\n\nBest of luck,\n-MomBear


It has only been the past couple of years that they have taken any action against use of steroids and amphetamines.\n\nhttp://theage.com.au/news/sport/finally-baseballs-drugtesting-gets-up-to-speed/2006/03/01/1141191734500.html

Well, the more home runs that are hit, the more people make it out to the ball park, the more jerseys are bought, the more baseball cards are bought.  People like to see long home runs, not a hit and run, score when you can attitude.  The roids and humane growth hormones only furthered the skills of players.\n\nOnly recently when people such as Lyle Alzado died of steroid use did people begin to see the negative aspects.  Also, as sacred records start to fall (61 HR's in a season, Hank Aarons record, etc), people begin to wonder if they were broken fairly.\n\nCongress is also pushing the issue, wanting all sports to look at how they test for illegal drugs, steroids included.

I live in Texas and it's 11:14 Pm right now and I am sleepy but I'm just addicted to this sight..like trying to help people and it's just fun...


I have a friend who talks a lot about my brother. She says that he's weird and crazy, even though he isn't. That's all she talks about. My brother and how she thinks he's a lunitic. I don't like her talking like this to him, but I can't tell her about it, because she is only 7 and it might hurt her feelings, but she hurts mine because how she raves on and on about how she thinks that he's mental. I like him and I don't like the way she's acting. How can I say this to her, without making her upset?

Even at 7 a child needs to learn how to behave. She needs to understand that the things we say can be hurtful to others. Just gently explain that while she may think that about your brother, her constantly saying it hurts your feelings because he is your brother and you love him.\n\nI agree that there could be a "crush" there, but she seems awfully young to be expressing her crush in that way.


I've been searching but I think maybe I'm not being realistic.  I can meet a girl, that's not my problem.\nI want to see femininity, commitment, honor.  I want to have the closest relationship a couple can have.  Are there people that want this anymore?

yeah sure people still want it.and dude,you have to stop looking.the perfect girl will hit you like a hammer.when you see her talk to her and then you'll know.you won't know right away thet's her.but you will when you hang out every time and you get this tingly feeling and a feeling you've never ever gotten before.don't ever be  rush.don't go out with just any girl.go out with the ones that you feel are your true (and i mean true) love.hope this helps

No one can list all the different techniques; for no matter how adept u are, u'll always be limited by ur imagination and/or level of exposure.


Please define what it is you mean by "probing."
