My next door neighbor's daughter she asks me a question she asked  If she is overweight. She's 150 and 11 years olds she's 5 foot 4 is she overweight?

since she is pretty tall for that age, she is only slightly overweight, becos an adult woman of the same height will be about 115-135 pounds,A 11 year-old is normally 4'5" and about 75 pound, so she will be a very tall woman and she will grow into her weight.

HI GUYS I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT SENSEX !WHAT IS IT EXACTLY, HOW DO PEOPLE BUY THE SHARES AND SELL THEM AND HOW DO THEY RISE OR FALL !! WHAT IS THE FACTOR FOR BUYING THE SHARES AND SELLING THEM ?? PLZ ANSWER

The Sensex is an index of companies traded on the Bombay Stock Exchange.  The sensex is a basket of 30 stocks representative of large companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange.\n\nSo, you cannot buy the "Sensex" but you can buy and sell the shares of the constitute 30 companies.\n\nTo trade stocks in a publicly listed company you need to have a broking account.\n\nThe prices of te stocks go up and down through simple supply and demand, much like the price of fish in a fish market where you have competing buyers and sellers.\n\nThe factors that affect an individual buyer or seller are too numerous to mention.  One buyer might think the company has good future prospects.  Another buyer may be a retirement fund that has to buy stock because more money has been injected into the fund.  One seller may be concerned about a recent news announcement.  Another seller may be a trader simply wishing to sell to bank some profit.  Another seller may simply want the cash to invest in something else.\n\nThe price is simply the overall market perception of that stock.

Go to where u purchase the camera and they must guide you on it. You can also go to google.com and type in software for whatever model camera you have and download it to you computer.

what racial group do u consider yourself to be part of? what physical features make you part of your racial group?

I am Mexican, and 'we' were conquered by the spaniards... on my father's side, my grandparents, both, were spanish... on my mother's my grandma's father (=greatgrandfather) was french but he married a mexican, and my grandfahter was mexican too but his father was spanish... Blonde, white skin, browneyed... by these physical features nobody would say I'm mexican... but I am!  \n\nDictionary aid...\n\nRace: a group, especially of people, with particular similar physical characteristics, who are considered as belonging to the same type, or the fact of belonging to such a group.\n\nRace: (group of humans) one of the groups into which the world's population can be divided on the basis of physical characteristics such as skin or hair color.\n\nI think I'm 'mestiza' which means a mix of races... and it is hard to get to what group I belong...\n\nYou've made me think... and the only answer I have by now is 'mestiza'  Sociologist always have witty concepts... lol!


In some societies, yes, they do that...for a variety of odd reasons.  It's gross!


a very rare piece from qing dynasty estimated at 2.5 million

That would be a museum piece if that is what it is worth.\nIt looks like a piece of paper with the Name and Address very large of the appraisal company at the top, with the phone number, and the desription of the item, in very technical terns, very complete.\nEvery detail on the piece is mentioned.\nThe value is listed over to the right side of the description.  There may be a seal at the bottom.\nIt must be an actual address and phone number of an actaul compnay, not a made up one. Otherwise you are in big trouble for fraud. And go to jail pronto.\n\nIt would not be in the hands of someone who does not know what an appraisal looks like.

Just wanna get an idea of who likes what and why.  Me personally I like the Seahawks because of Alexander and they have a decent defense.

My favorite team is the Packers, but on Madden it seems to me that the offensive line gets way too many holding calls, and when I play I like to have a scrambling QB, something Favre is obviously not, so I usually go with the Falcons or Eagles, unless I'm in superstar mode I go with the Raiders, because that's the team my awesome QB got traded to, and they also happen to have one of the fastest WR's in the league (Moss, in the game at least), and he always seems to be open on the hail mary plays. Before that he was on the Giants, which I thought was a good team because of Barber, who hardly ever fumbled when I played, and Shockey, who was an excellent TE, and the position I usually go to on short passing plays.


I have been having problems with my furnace since december 2005. The repairman has been to fix this problem six different times and the furnace still is not fixed. I had a major increase on my electric/gas bills due to my furnace cycling every 2.5 minutes.(gas furnace w/electric blower) My landlord is very aware of the problems and he still is charging me late fee every month that i have been paying. Along with my normal rent. can i request compensation for my increases? Does anyone have any specifics in reference to landlord/tenant acts for the state of virginia?

The answer to your question should be in your lease if you signed one.  However, you can just take the landlord to court with your PROOF that a repairman has come and the problem is not fixed and PROOF that your utility bills are higher as a result.  Always make sure yor rent is paid and on time...it strengthens your case and causes the adverse if you don't. These cases are common and people do win.  So just make sur eyou have proof of EVERYTHING and then take it to court if you've already approached the landlord with your problems.  Give the chance first to allow for it to be fixed and have proof of that too if possible, then it will also be noted that you tried everything including allowing them time to fix the problem but to no avail.


I have a my space and personally think that girls are getting assautlted because they are stupid they arrange to meet a guy they dont even know what is your opinion

Myspace is a great way for people to reach other people all over the world.  The problem is that EVERYONE can look in on your own little personal world that you display on your page.  Children younger than 16 with a myspace account are automatically private, so that girls that are not yet smart enough to know about internet predators are not taken advantage of.  The other people that DO get taken advantage of are those that think that meeting complete strangers is a proper thing to do.  Myspace is just a site for people to mingle, like a coffee shop with headlines.  If a predator comes into the coffee shop strikes up a conversation with the girl and invites her somewhere private, you can't blame the coffee shop.  It's best to teach the kids about these kinds of things, because that is the only way to gaurantee that they won't meet with someone.


We're a startup with a really good concept/idea that can sell and we are various offers, we are entertaining various offers, some asking for large chunks of equity but guaranteed immediate moderate amounts of cash, the others are willing to give larger for smaller stake sold but take longer? What is the optimal amount to give up for the capital you need?

VC's will typical ask for at least 50-80% of a company. They are trying to gain as much control as they can.\n\nIf you're sole goal is to preserve ownership %, then the best route is to try and raise cash via friends and family at first.\n\nOnce that is exhausted try for angel capital but really limit the amount of money to what you absolutely need to purchase.\n\nAfter both of those have been exhausted approach the VC's for more significant investments, but hopefully you'll be farther along in the product development and the risk is lower to the VC because you have more tangible product, and therefore you have more leverage than you would have sans product.\n\nThere is no formula that can be applied here, it's really more about managing risk and having leverage when negotiating. Not to mention the strength of the idea and the timing and motivation for VC's to adopt the risk. If this is a hot idea in and up and coming area and you have a solid team behind you then it's easy, but if you're entering a market that is already well defined and is not attractive to the VC then it's harder.


I don't understand this.  You wouldn't use a dry paper towel to get peanut butter out of your hair.

For one reason, they aren't flushable. I learned this the hard way...

Why do people assume that Christians are perfect people?? I see a lot of posts on here where people call Christians hypocritical because even though they know God, they still sin. Being a Christian doesn't make you perfect; it means that God loves you enough to forgive you for NOT being perfect. I see posts day after day where Christians are criticized for preaching the "rules" and the right things to do, but then they don't follow through. For many of us, it's not that we don't WANT to follow through. Sinning is a part of human nature. It's just part of who we are. When you accept Jesus as your Saviour, He will begin a change inside you. It's not instantaneous; it's something you need to work into. Also, old habits are not easily broken, but with the help of Jesus they CAN be overcome. I just ask in the nicest way that you don't assume we're perfect. We know what God expects of us, but believe me, it's not always that easy.

My honest opinion Christian are the first to judge. They arent so perfect.


Super super frank, super frankie lampard at the double!

I think that Liverpool are in such good form right now, as are Chelsea, but Liverpool have finally found out a way to score without using a midfielder.  So I am gonna go with Liverpool because sooner or later they have to beat them again right?


If we (i.e. the public at large) really do NOT know what’s going on inside the secretive societies like the Masons (Freemasonry) and others alike, how can we be sure that they are not International Terrorists, or perhaps worse yet “The True Owners Of The World”?   Is it really that unfeasible and irrational to think/assume that a secretive fraternity of corporations, individuals and families of immeasurable wealth and political influence can be truly manipulating the rest of us?

I would tend to beleive there are secret societies like you hypothisize. I know there are 'clubs' that only extremely wealthy rebublicans can join. It seems to me that those are very dangerous people when they get together to decide how they will exploit us little people and make themselves even wealthier. W sure acts like he belongs to a club like that. He has no respect whatsoever for the middleclass or the poor.


Am I the only one that is disgusted by the overwhelming amount of female nudity in movies latley? Why aren't there movies with any naked guys in them?? Most guys would be appalled if they thought their g/f was watching movies with guys goods hanging out in it, but its ok the other way around? Whaaaat?!?

I like seeing naked ladies, mens bodies don't look as appealing. Now if I were a woman I could see your point though. But I think that even women think ladies are more attractive then men???


Standards: camelbaks, fuel belts or quick draw bottles?  I am doing more distance, training for a two day race in Colorado...wanted to see what the majority of distance runners on here would use.  (race will be a 25k trail run on Saturday, 1/2 marathon road race on Sunday) I currently use the smaller camelbak that rides on your lower back. It's ok, but makes my back burn up in the heat. Training in Texas summer ;)

i really have to stick with the camelback, they're the most convineint

what do skull members do? kill goats and drink they're blood? whatever they do im sure they are evil and this is what runs our country?

I don't know, but with a name like "Skull & Bones" it has to be evil. I've heard that once you are in it you can't get out. They also have Geronimo's skull. Spooky isn't? Isn't that the same as devil worshipping?


I am D/L from Shareaza.How can I specify that I want it in the form of mp3 only?

Yes for sure this is the last of a stupid brain storm that a retarded guy got early this morning. Please do excuse me OK.\n\nThat "WHICH" in my again dictionary says what one, choose, its asking whichever and saying you may select or choose!\n\nHa Ha Ha that would be to simple, right. Gosh a question like that would immediately say the one who is asking knows that all human beings do believe in something whether they will admit it or not. Ha ha ha It would prevent others from telling a lie or from giving the answer using a big word to try and deny the facts. ha ha ha. Maybe that question would take away that ha ha ha FREE WILL many do talk about.\n\nOk Ok enough cause this is for your answer and your opinion. I do seriously want to read your answer in my learning walk in life. Please do give an answer.\n\nWhile doing that, smile, enjoy life and of course by all means do have your own opinion and feel free to express it.\n\nGo Ahead! \n\nA big THANK YOU from   cjkeysjr@yahoo.com.ph

religion is a way of life\n\nwhich is a choice you only have to make if you DONT KNOW ANYTHING.  When you KNOW theres no more choice because you KNOW.  and your knowledge is a was of life\n\nread the BIBLE as a letter to you from JESUS


I've known him since i was around 10 years old. he's my best friends cousin, and i love him. he's all i think about, and i talk to him often, he doesn't live nearby though. we have a lot in common, and we flirt like crazy! i opened up to him once and he told me he wasn't joking around with me, that he knew there was something between us. i don't know what to do...what should i do? i really love him. there's another problem...we're 6 years apart. it might come out confusing, but i'm really lost...he teases and confuses the he** outta me, which he thinks is cute, when it feels like he's toying around with my heart...help please!

He probably IS toying with your heart. Try this. Say..."I know you think it's funny, but I don't. If you like me, let me know. I have a lot of feelings for you and I think there's something between us." If that's too cheesy for you, change it up a big. :D...\n\n6 years really isn't TOO big of a deal. If it's true love, it shouldn't be anything but an age. good luck!


go to a doctor consult him he may give u some suggestions abt this


im in high school now in 11th grade but next year im goin to take alot of journalism classes and what not.. i want to know what universities etc are excellent for english majoring and what not..esp around the new york area since i want to double major in acting as well... what university is good for both acting AND journalism????

You should check out Syracuse, although it's in upstate NY, and not very close to NYC. It's journalism/media studies program is superb, and it's theatre program is quite good.  NYU might also be a good choice for you; its Tisch school of the arts (including theatre) has an especially good reputation.  And of course, it's right in NYC.\n\nIf your GPA and SAT scores are really outstanding, Vassar and Yale might be worth looking into as well.  Both are just a very short train ride away from NYC.

We've been together for 10 months, he says he loves me, but is in a rush to get married before his driver's license expires. I cant stop thinking he just wants to get married to get his papers. What do you think? How long does it take to become a resident anyway if he marries me? Also, is it really the end of the world if his driver's license expires and he has no other ID?

Marraige is pretty special... wouldnt you like to start a new life with someone that IS on all accounts on the up and up with you? Never any doubts about the reasons why he's proposed through  a marraige seems to me to be the best route to make it work. A little coincidental the timing on his license dont you think? .. Take it slow, Curious. Ask this man to come into your marraige clean and legally and it will mean that much more to u.


i need to get an address for a cell phone, what i have is a first name and cell phone number is it possible to locate even a billing address to a t-mobile cell phone?

Yes, go to www.anywho.com and under the reverse number tab type in the phone number that you have. Now if you want to get God's address start talking to Jesus. He has the best answers for your life.


Which one do you prefer? And why? Please don't include visual effects, as you can't expect 70 years old film to have the same visual effects as the new King King.

i think the new one is better than the 70's version. it is much more exciting, and Adrien Brody is sssoo hot, but the 30's one is a classic so that one is tops.


i am dating a girl for about two months now and three of her friends tried to sleep with me i don't should i do it or what? it's seem every time i am in relationship girls start comin to me. why girls why

It could be her asking her friends to do her a favour by testing how faithful you are. Trust me, some girls can be THAT dumb!


I need help on a calculus problem.\n\nThis is the problem:\n\nFind the approximate value of ARCTAN (k) for some value of k\n\n(note: approximating arctan (k) is the same as solving TAN(x)=K      for -pi/2<x<pi/2)\n\nafter solving, I have to find F(x) and F'(x) (the derivative of the first function)\n\nsome help would be greatly appreciated!!

Well there are the obvious values that are known of arctan. But if your constant K doesn't fall into these categories I'm not sure how you would do this without taylor expansion.\n\nTry this link, it gives the well known values on tan(x) so reading it backwards gives the arctan values


Does anyone know the answer......From what I understand it's a sexual position but I thought that I knew them all.  I guess not HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When the woman wraps her legs on her own shoulders behind her head and bends her arms down to hold (herself) open to you. Her arms and legs will look like chicken wings.

Because some of there nuclear plants R deep under ground .what do U think will happen if we do it, or should we just wait for Isreal to do it first like they did 25 some years ago.But they did not use Nuclear Weapons at that time.

Of course.  Goodness, we have plans for invading Canada!  We have plans for invading every country in the world, as does China, Russia, etc., if they're smart.\n\nContingency plans are part of being prepared for every way things might change.  Careless leaders wait until the emergency happens.\n\nThis is why I find the whole, "President Bush had plans to invade Iraq" argument so silly.  President Clinton had plans to invade Iraq.  So did Ford, Carter, Reagen, Nixon, etc.  Like I said.  Silly to try to "blame" President Bush for something so obviously a necessary part of government.\n\nWe won't do it.  We will not invade a nation that is sovereign.  We invaded Iraq because we had a cease-fire with them after they attacked us while we were defending Kuwait.  Iraq agreed to certain terms for the cease-fire, and after a decade, they kept breaking their agreement; we invaded.\n\nBut we don't invade sovereign nations.  Iran will have to do something stupid.  We might even encourage them: "Go ahead and hit me, feel free!"\n\nIsrael is a natural source of a pre-emptive attack.  We'll see.

Does anyone know what tanks, aircraft, weaponry, etc. That the Israeli and/or US army is currently using?

see: http://www.fas.org\n\nThis is common knowledge, open source info.  It won't help the terrorists much as just knowing an M1 Abrams MBT is out there only means the terrorist has some clue what will kill him.  To the terrorists: stop killing civilians, blowing up mosques, and bombing markets. Just surrender, you are losing, and nothing you can do will stop it.  These same civilians are now your enemies and are helping the US, Iraqi, and Afghan forces hunt you down.  Sleep well...


If you dont know who he is -his song is on the M&M commercial -If you do know who I'm talking about -what do you think about his music?? I love it -my little baby girl falls asleep to it every night- his songs are beautiful

He is one of the greatest song writers that is makeing music right now.  Extreamly poetic and beautiful is right! I think your daughter will be way cooler for listening to it when she gets older.  Theres a lot of young girls I know that have some bad taste in music\n\nwell such great heights is a cover he did of a postal service song.  I like the endless numbered days CD the best


I have a baby and I am very concerned with spreading the disease to him.  I always wash my hands but I feel like it's not enough.  Can clothing carry the disease and spread it?

Unless your baby comes into contact with your genital area, you aren't going to pass it on to your baby.\n\nWashing your hands will help if you have touched your genital area and then are going to touch the baby.  Other than that, no need to wash your hands (other than colds, flus, basic hygiene, etc.).  And no worries with clothing.\n\nThere is some thought that maybe damp towels that YOU have used on your genital area MIGHT spread it, but its not been proven in a lab.\n\nCheck out the handbook I have listed as a source.  And there are really good articles and forums at the second source.


I am trying to get info on how to get in touch with the right people in the concert business.  My brother-in-law has his own truck and is interested in transporting concert equipment for a whole tour. He has many years experience with very good references.  If you have any info please email me, Jennifer, purpleferfer@yahoo.com\nThanx

OK, Here it is:\nIf you are trying to get your brother-in-law a job transporting concert equipment for a whole tour you need to find a company who has access to a multitude of trucking companies.\n\nYou can have him go here for trucking companies:\nhttp://www.bigrigjobs.com\n\nGo here to fill out an application for a driving job:\nhttp://www.bigrigjobs.com/Truck_Driving_Jobs/Truck_Driver_Application.html\n\nThese people will match his application to the trucking companies who are looking to hire people like him.\n\nAll that he has to do is to say yes to whomever makes the best offer.


I have recently started my own online magazine. I'm in need of sponsors/advertising.

This really should have been spelled out in your business plan before you started your venture. But, since it's a little late for that, contact potential advertisers who would be interested in selling to your target audience. Make sure you know who your audience is, how large it is now, and what you project it to be. Be sure you have a solid plan for selling advertising space, including size of ad, cost, length of advertising run, placement on the page, etc. You also need a way for advertisers know that they are getting their money's worth. If it's a clickable ad, how are you going to track the number of times the ad was clicked?


For my physics lab, I plotted an acceleration (m/s^2) vs. mass (kg) graph.  I need to know if this makes a linear or a curved graph, and why.\n\nThanks for your time and consideration.

It's curved. Take Newton's second law F=ma, therefore m is proportional to 1/a and therefore the graph will be similar to a y=1/x graph and will be curved.\n\nTake F=ma, so m=F/a, proportionality is about if you double one thing the over doubles, however this is inversely proportional so if you double m you get a half of a, this is assuming that F is a constant.


Please see the link, thanks.\nhttp://www.alternet.org/rights/34222/\nAfter all the hew and cry over the possible execution of a man for converting victory was declared because he was released.  But I don't see the same people throwing a fit over the way women are treated in the same country, isn't that a bit hypocritical?

It is hypocritical i agree. it is condemnable to give capital punishment for conversion and i support their stand who were keeping tab on a 16 year old case of conversion. but I doubt if that man would have been in jail for conversion to any non christian relegion would it have attracted so much concern? \n\nmost of the organization in Afganistam  are looking out for their interests. the type of humanists you are looking for are not many and those who claim to be one do not go at such places where monetary benfits are absent and risk to their life is many fold.

This represnts the final numbers charged in the loan closing. It is the exact charges listed on government form "HUD - I - A settlement Statement".


tell me the area formula and the length of all the sides

See site below.  I suggest this new and unusual site called www.google.com when you need to know information like this.


Why can't I CHOOSE my own beliefs as the constitution allows without being deemed a fascist?\n\nWhy can't I CHOOSE to send my kid to private public school using the same money I waste by on public school?\n\nWhy can't I CHOOSE to know my daughter is having an abortion if they CHOOSE to know when their daughter is given an asprin?\n\nWhy are they against captital punishment if thats what a state has CHOOSEN?\n\nWhy can't I drive my SUV if thats what I CHOOSE?

Hear Hear.\n\nIt surprises me how ignorant people are. Here you are, saying that you want to choose to send your kid to a private school. Another poster decides that yes, you should be able to do that, but "it is wrong to take money out of the public school system." Hmmm....your tax dollars pay for the public schools, if you want to send your kid to private school, you're free to do so, but you still have to pay for other kids to go to public school? Does that make sense to you?\n\nI agree with you. Tax me less, and I'll make the decision with the LARGER disposable income I have, as to which school my kid goes to.


The force that causes the pull-in at the triangle is reported as a natural phenomenom that is not clearly understood. I wonder if there is another pull-out force at the axial-opposite of the Bermuda triangle on the globe? When compared with the flux of a magnet (N & S) or flow of current in a cell(+, -)or fixed conductor, it looks logical to me that there should be a corresponding pull-out force at opposite end of this B. triangle. Please educate me if you have answers.

The Bermuda Triangle (also known as Devil's Triangle) is a nearly half-million square-mile (1.2 million km2) area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the southernmost tip of Florida. The Bermuda Triangle has become popular through representation by the mass media, in which it is a paranormal site in which the known laws of physics are either violated, altered, or both.\n\nWhile there is a common belief that a number of ships and airplanes have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances in this region, the United States Coast Guard and others disagree with that assessment, citing statistics demonstrating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily traveled region of the world. Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon close examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.\n\n\nSkeptical responses\n\nThe marine insurer Lloyd's of London has determined the "triangle" to be no more dangerous than any other area of ocean, and does not charge unusual rates for passage through the region. Coast Guard records confirm their conclusion.\n\nSkeptics comment that the disappearance of a train between two stops would be more convincing evidence of paranormal activity, and the fact that such things do not occur suggests that paranormal explanations are not needed for the disappearance of ships and airplanes in the far less predictable open ocean.\n[edit]\n\nKusche's research\n\nIntrigued by the number of students coming to him looking for information about the Bermuda Triangle, Lawrence Kusche, a reference librarian with Arizona State University at the time of the Flight 19 incident, began an exhaustive follow-up investigation of the original reports. His findings were eventually published in 1975 as The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved.\n\nKusche's research revealed a number of inaccuracies and inconsistencies between Berlitz's accounts and statements from eyewitnesses, participants and others involved in the initial incidents. He noted cases where pertinent information went unreported, such as the disappearance of round-the-world yachtsman Donald Crowhurst which Berlitz had presented as a mystery, despite clear evidence that Crowhurst had fabricated the accounts of his voyage and had probably committed suicide. Another example was the ore-carrier Berlitz recounted as lost without trace three days out of an Atlantic port when it had been lost three days out of a port with the same name in the Pacific Ocean. Kusche also argued that a large percentage of the incidents attributed to the Bermuda Triangle's mysterious influence actually occurred well outside it.\n\nKusche came to several conclusions:\n\n    * The number of ships and airplanes reported missing in the area was not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than any other part of the ocean.\n    * In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur was neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious.\n    * The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. A boat listed as missing would be reported, but not necessarily its eventual, if belated, return to port.\n    * The circumstances of confirmed disappearances were frequently misreported in Berlitz's accounts. The numbers of ships disappearing in supposedly calm weather, for instance, did not tally with weather reports published at the time.

Ok, i really like this guy and we seem friends. He says hi in the hall. I dont know if i should tell him that i like him cuz i would like to know if i have a chance. Like what are the signs? One of my friend is gonna try to ask him to go with her , a guy and me, therefor i could flirt with him. THe thing is i think he knows that i like him. SO is this still a good i idea or should i just wait? what should i do?

i know it hurts to get rejected but take a shot at it he may be going thru the same thing. he may like you and be afraid to say something. I am a guy and i have been afraid to talk to a couple of girls and i finally got up the courage to say something to one of them now that they have a boy friend and i  found out that at the time that i like them they like me but its to late i missed my chance don't miss yours


Both have the wide eyed stare of the extreme God botherer, the insane, manic expression and a belief that they, personally, must rid the world of all non believers.  Your opinion?

If you mean Texans as "Waco-like" Christians then yeah, I can see your point, but I must point out, all Texans aren't crazy.  Don't know too much about Kirachi Muslims though.  I should modify this by saying that they are probably not crazy either.\n\nThese people scare me.  They take control of others (usually those who are susceptible to mind manipulation)and twist them to do acts they won't normally do.  What bothers me is they confirm a stereotype people have of the two faiths; as a Christian people accuse me of being part of those extereme fundamentalists, and I assume it's the same for Muslims.


I am doing a project and need some insights of importnat and unimportant stuff that happened in Russia during the Revolution and all over the world, like USA, or Europe or Asia. But, its kinda hard since the Russian Revolution was in the "spotlight..." LOL

hey everyone i just wanted whats the best way to find a job when your 15 if theres any good websites that could deal with that could you please tell wat it is

This won't be the answer you want but it's my best advice to you.  Wait until summer or until you're closer to 16.  The labor laws in most states are so restrictive on what hours you can work and what you're allowed to do that very few places will even look at your application.  Fast food isn't even the answer anymore.  My suggestion to earn money for now would be small jobs for neighbors (yard work, babysitting, etc.) or possibly tutoring if school is something you're good at.  Good luck!


I am a sophmore in high school and I'm trying to figure out what college I want to go to and what to major in? I think it's law but someone else told me it's science.

That can vary immensely from one police department to another.  But here is the basic 411.  Some positions require you have a 4 year degree in science while others only require a GED or High School graduation. Generally, if you want to work in a crime laboratory as a Criminalist you will need at least a 4 year degree in science (such as Biology or Chemistry). If you want to be a Crime Scene Technician you usually need less formal education. Some agencies require you be a sworn police officer before becoming a Crime Scene Investigator.\n\nIf the position you want requires formal training then check your local colleges and universities.   Many community colleges have Criminal Justice classes that include crime scene investigations. \n\n\nBelow is a book, kind of pricey but a good source.  See if you can find a used copy someplace, or maybe your local library may have it.  But it's an excellent book on crime scene evidence and investigations.


What's the difference and which is better?

It's Hollowtech  (not hollowgram)\n\nIt is Shimano's name for the hollow forged cranks used with Octalink splined bottom brackets. These lightweight cranks are made by welding two forged aluminum channels together.\n\nHollowtech II \nThe two-piece crank /bottom bracket system introduced with the 2004 10-speed Dura-Ace line. These use external bearings that hang outboard from the bottom bracket shell.\n\nBall bearing is old-skool. Some other makers use a sealed bearing, rather than ball bearing or Hollowtech.


Tom Cruise boasted about eating fiancèe Katie Holmes's placenta when baby Cruise is born, Cruise said in an interview. The Mission: Impossible III actor, 43, said: "I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I am gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there" But when it was pointed out it would be a very big meal, he retorted: "OK. Maybe I won't."Though some claim that eating afterbirth may help prevent post-partum depression, it won't help the mom if dad eats it.Placentophagia, eating the placenta, is practised in many cultures, but it is less common in western society. In 1998 a British TV chef fried a placenta and served it to his guests.The baby, rumored to be a girl, is due any day and the couple plan to wed in the summer. They have been engaged since last June.With the little one expected soon, speculations surrounding Katie Holmes' childbirth have been flying high.

Don't insult Homer Simpson by comparing him with Tom Cruise!


Hi\n\nIn your opinion, do you think nec make good TFT's?

NEC is a very reputable company.  We purchase 95% of our projectors and monitors from them.  Very few problems, especially for the hundreds of thousands of dollars we've spent.  They use high quality materials and I would purchase from NEC before I would Sony (or anyone else).


in general i need to find a journal article

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1990 November; 87(21): 8531–8535. \n\nHunter syndrome: isolation of an iduronate-2-sulfatase cDNA clone and analysis of patient DNA.\nP J Wilson, C P Morris, D S Anson, T Occhiodoro, J Bielicki, P R Clements, and J J Hopwood\n\nIduronate 2-sulfatase (IDS, EC 3.1.6.13) is required for the lysosomal degradation of heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate. Mutations causing IDS deficiency in humans result in the lysosomal storage of these glycosaminoglycans and Hunter syndrome, an X chromosome-linked disease. We have isolated and sequenced a 2.3-kilobase cDNA clone coding for the entire sequence of human IDS. Analysis of the deduced 550-amino acid IDS precursor sequence indicates that IDS has a 25-amino acid amino-terminal signal sequence, followed by 8 amino acids that are removed from the proprotein. An internal proteolytic cleavage occurs to produce the mature IDS present in human liver shown to contain a 42-kDa polypeptide N-terminal to a 14-kDa polypeptide. The IDS sequence has strong sequence homology with other sulfatases (such as sea urchin arylsulfatase, human arylsulfatases A, B, and C, and human glucosamine 6-sulfatase), suggesting that the sulfatases comprise an evolutionarily related family of genes that arose by gene duplication and divergent evolution. The arylsulfatases have a greater homology with each other than with the non-arylsulfatases (IDS and glucosamine 6-sulfatase). The IDS cDNA detected RNA species of 5.7, 5.4, 2.1, and 1.4 kilobases in human placental RNA and revealed structural alterations and gross deletions of the IDS gene in many of the clinically severe Hunter syndrome patients studied.


The west have been advicing third world countries expecially africa to fight corruption,better education and health on its people and yet they are allowing these brain drain on their nation. Are they helping or playing double standard on these countries?.

It's not an active conspiracy, just the result of the job market. No one should be forced to remain in a country where they can't make a living.

My wife asked me this today and I had no answer for her.

HOBOKEN--The American Spousal Abuse Society (A.S.A.S.) reversed over 30 years of tradition today, by naming the mesh half-shirt as the "Official Wife-Beater Shirt" of the next century. This news came as a shock to both Hanes Inc. and Fruit of the Loom Industries, whose white, sleeveless cotton T-shirt has held down the honorary position since 1968. \n\n...."wife-beater" shirt, typified by its cut off sleeves, plunging neckline and easily shrinkable fabric that accentuates the wearerís tiny muscles. It officially became known as the "wife-beater" in 1968 when Ike Turner was signed on as a celebrity spokesperson for the line.

i'm a rather saucy straight fellow, i live in a clothing optional house(by myself)i keep sexually harrasing my self and i wont stop 4 some reason,i'm seeking a female sitter for my self it pays $4.00 a week i enjoy the warm wet places in all sense, i feel really bad about how naughty i've been and i think i might need a spanking.....i am straight so no men really need to reply! really

Hum, well that is an interesting question. I also enjoy a good spanking especially when I have been naughty, and I often sexually harass myself, and I enjoy my warm wet places. do you think we are the same person?

I have a job in NYC, so it needs to be near public transportation and within an hour away.  Doesn't need to be a super-nice area, but I'd like to live somewhere safe.  Also, I'm looking for somewhere not too expensive (>1000/mo).  I've checked apartment listings, but not being from NJ originally, I don't know what the good and bad areas are, or even where different towns are located.  Someone please point me in the right direction.

Princeton is very expensive. You might want to look in northern monmouth county like Matawan or Keyport., which are convenient to the NYC train or Rahway or Linden. Metuchen is nice but I think it is probably pricey. There are nice sections of Elizabeth.

I have never been a believer in fairy tale love. To me love has always been a choice, a commitment and a lot of work. Then I started dating this guy. He agrees that love is a choice, and a commitment, and we started seeing each other with this understanding. We liked each other, and we wanted to see where it would go. Its only been a few days, and I cant believe how amazing he is. I feel like Im winning the ultimate game, and Now Im wondering? Does this legendary fairy tale love thing hold some truth?

youre probably one of the few that have experienced it. There are others (myself included) that never ever have even a tiny taste of what it is like to have something like that. You should be happy in the fact that you made the impossible possible


My attorney and I were negotiating visitation arrangments with my ex's attorney and reached an agreement that visitation would start the following week, then he filed a contempt of court against me stating that visitation was to start that day even though his attorney agreed that it would not start til the next week, I have several wittness that heard this . His attorney is now lying and saying this was not agreed on but it was!! Can I turn a complaint into the Bar? I think this attorney is just trying to keep this going to make more money off my ex,, but iam paying also!! what should i do,, my ex wont listen. My attorney says we should just try and get along but he also knows that visitation was to start the next week!! and the contempt papers have already been filed!

there is a link to report attorneys on the American Bar website...you have to fill out a form.  I'm not sure it would be helpful in your situation, unfortunately, if there is nothing in writing, it will be extremely difficult to prove.  Your lawyer could help you, but attorney's seem reluctant to turn each other in for some reason.  Your best bet would be to get your ex to file the complaint..but if he won't listen, you could give it a try yourself.  Good luck!


Write down whatever is pissing you off. Whatever i think is the most irritating gets 10 points plus you get a chance to vent!

I hate it when people are ignorant, and small minded. They have no appreciation for art or intelligence and the finer things in life. They complain that life is boring, but they haven't seen the world yet. They have no ambition and are bumbling along when they could be doing so much more.

That depends on the juices you choose to drink. Vegetable and fruit juices are very good for you and can provide the nutrients that most foods do. You will lose weight and be healthy.


My AP Stats class was discussing this today and we had heard that if someone spills or throws-up on their ACT, SAT, and possibly AP test that the peopling giving the test have to confessicaite everyones test and making then start over?\n\nIs this true, has it ever happened to anyone, and wh ywould they have such a policy?

I am not sure if that is really the case, but I would think someone could come back later if they got a bad score and said it was because of the distraction of the throw-up or something. Just covering their behinds if in fact they do collect them.


Give me a ten page essay on how you can justify anything that George Bush has done since becoming president that has made the United States a better place to live. I personally think he has set Ameraca's standard of living back at least 40 and maybe more years. He has taken away somemore of our freedoms, and is generaly the worst decision that the United states has ever made.

I'm not a Repug. as you know. They couldn't give ONE coherent page. The best I've seen them come up with is that President Clinton set Bush up to fail! I mean come on, let's get back to planet Earth. Desperate people say and do desperate things. The day of reckoning is fast approaching for he and his Goons.


In context of cutting trees for pulp,wood etc. Even we know that if we vanish the trees our life also become hell. We are left with nothing than guilt feeling & shamefullness.

people r just careless and dont think of that. if they new how much they mean 2us i bet they would still kill them. thanks for asking.=)


The longest I didn't go to 'the little room' was 3 weeks. I ended up having a bowel investigation only to find that I had an intestinal blockage. Alongside stomach cramps however, I was loosing a lot of blood from my back passage. If not going for a few days is your only sympton, then I suggest drinking lots of water, eating more fruit and vegetables,fruit juices, licqourice in either herbal tea or tablet form and prunes (no matter how bad they taste -dried are least offensive!) Cut out red meat completely while you are constipated because it is very hard for your already struggling system to cope with. Please don't take endless laxatives, your intestines will become lazy if you do, leaving you in an even worse position long term. Good luck from someone who knows only too well how you feel xx

I am currently mesured at 8" and my wife says she cant feel me inside her I am tempted to go under the knife but am worried about the consequences

I WOULD THINK 8" WOULD BE ENOUGH FOR ANYONE, I KNOW IT WOULD BE TO MUCH FOR ME.  MAYBE YOUR WIFE SHOULD DO SOME TONING EXERCISES WITH HER PRIVATE PART.  (YES THERE IS EXERCISES WOMEN CAN DO TO HELP MAKE IT TIGHTER)  I WOULD NOT HAVE SURGERY TO PLEASE SOMEONE ELSE, EVEN IF IT IS YOUR WIFE.  THAT IS SELFISH OF HER TO ASK THAT.  TELL HER TO GO HAVE SURGERY AND HAVE HERS TIGHTENED UP AND THEN THERE WOULD BE NOT PROBLEM.  GOOD LUCK


I think Lexi is a most sexy name. What do you think?

That's is so strange because that's exactly what I'd change my name to. I love that name. If I had that name people would look at me as a different person.

The mean of restaurant wait time is 0.8806 and the standard deviation is 0.428. Is the deviation small or large?

The standard deviation is large and indicates that the assumption of a Normal distribution is most likely incorrect.  The "outliers" that someone else noted aren't necessarily "outliers" if you correctly model the data as something other than Normally distributed.\n\nWhen you estimate percentiles using the mean and the standard deviation, you might subtract 3 standard deviations to find the lower bound of the 99th percentile range.  0.8806 - 3*0.428 = 0.8806 - 1.284 = -0.4034.  Do we really think that people are waiting a negative amount of time?  This is ridiculous!  And it is one the problems with people using an assumption of Normality for all their statistics problems.\n\nWhen modelling waiting times, the traditional model is the Exponential distribution.  I've done some modeling in the past where I found that the Lognormal distribution is actually appropriate as the model in some scenarios.\n\nBoth of these distributions, the Exponential and the Lognormal have very long right tails and so will generate a very large standard deviation for your sample.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution\n\nI suggest you create a histogram of your values.\nYou can also take the natural logarithm of your wait times (assuming none are 0) and graph the histogram of the log transformed wait times.  The shape of the transformed curves will help you make a decision if the waiting times are Exponentially distributed or Log-normally distributed.  I'd bet big money that your data is not Normally distributed.


I know a guy who has been divorced for about a year.  Bad divorce--she took him for almost everything.  His ex is from an extremely wealthy family!!!!!So he could not beat her attorney wise.  Here is the question:  He used to call me several times a week--never complained about anything personal--just talked about things we had in common for hours on end.  Then he would stop calling for several weeks--I went crazy and then would call him--He would call me often again after I called him.  He never complains, but I know his life situation is pretty bad right now--making a career change, wanting custody of his son, short on money--but like I said when he talks to me he never complains about these things.  He jokes, has cute pet names for me, and says he likes talking to me.  He seems to  light up and  blushes when we accidently meet.  When he talks to mutual friends and they ask him how things are going in his career change he reseponds with "we" meaning he and I(doing the same).

It sounds like he is suffering from strong feelings of inadaquacy. This ex wife has beat the self confidence out of him. He is not sure that you really want him. That is why he consistantly gives up then starts back up after you call. He can't see beyond where he is. He doesn't complain because he is, first of all, not a whiner. Second of all, he feels as if he has little enough to entice you so complaining would only make you feel less interested in continuing the relationship.\n\nI believe very strongly in situations of this gravity, writing him a short letter is the best thing you can do. Something he can look at when he starts feeling alone in this great big world. \n\nI'm not talking about a "how are you today" letter. He needs a letter about you. He knows how he feels. He needs desperately to know how you feel. To know that you understand. To know that you tingle inside when the phone rings, thinking it might be him. That you want to wrap yourself around his voice when he speaks and ward off any thing that could challenge him until he is able to regain the strength to do it himself.\n\nWe men, in general, feel it is our responsibility to always be strong. To be the "protector of the weaker sex" Well, it is time to turn that around because tonight, the man is the weaker sex. And as for you, well, you will be providing the strength. It's only fair. After all, you do get butterflies thinking about him, don't you? And, I'm sure you have wanted to hold him in your arms until his pain, which he can almost hide from you, went away. \n\nIt will take a lot for you to be the hero here. If it didn't scare you, there would be no need for you to be brave. You are the only person in the world that can pull him out of this. In his mind, anyway. Don't let him down... don't let yourself down.


15 years! I gave up management after 5 years because of not being compensated for my job...  now it's a mess, and people are coming and going.  It's so sad.  I am busy, but I see people falling apart in there...  What would you do?

One good thing about capitalism, if it don't work, it don't survive.  The business owner should recognize this and make necessary changes soon.  You have two options, write a resume'\nor ride out the storm.  You have to evaluate which will occur, will the owner step in to make necessary changes or will he let it fold?  If it won't fold, is it worth riding out to remain with who knows what at the other end?  I find it easier to look for a more stable company but this keeps me from advancing as fast as if I were the guy that sticks out the storms and contributes to the healing process.


Some uber-liberals consider them to be the spawn of the devil...but there's no way anyone can generalize such a large group of people. There will always be someone different. Not all of us are Bush's cronies and minions, you know!

And the fact that Christianity and Conservatism has been hijacked by those who would do their own evil will above the good of this country and her citizens, doesn't help much either...we're in bad company...even though there are many good people who are both Christian and Conservative.\n\nOne problem is that many people say that Jesus was tolerant. He was tolerant of people that broke God's laws because they didn't know any better. That is how he brought so many to believe in him....he showed them compassion....but he never said "You have been saved, now go back to the life you were living." He said, "You have been saved, now go and sin no more." He also never spoke against any of the Jewish laws forbidding sins such as adultery, homosexuality, stealing, prostitution, etc...he never said any of that was okay, just that if they were willing to turn away from their sins, they could be forgiven. Most people that like to say Jesus was a liberal don't think of those two points.\n\nAlso, Jesus would never say that abortion is okay. There's just NO WAY that would have happened.\n\nHe would have been for the death penalty IF we could find an executioner whose life was without sin.\n\nLiberals want to hijack Jesus for their vision of "tolerance" but not look at the laws that Jesus himself abided by...the laws that his FATHER made.\n\nLastly, it's just too convenient and easy for these liberals to cast stones and try to place blame and find fault then it would be to really address the issues that conservatives feel are most important.\n\nYou're not alone! God Bless!


I designed a roller coaster for my physics class...It's a roller coaster that can run continous 4 ever as soon as there is electricity....What should i name it ? The name has to be fun, meaningful...and related to PHYSICS !!!

I would call it the Extreme String Coaster


I am an engineering student of Mechanical Engineering in a deemed university in INDIA. I also wish to know what special training that I can undertake to improve myself in this field and what higher education that I can take in abroad.

ME is one of the hottest positions in the world. Get your Masters and you can make a fortune anywhere.


This is for FIFA World Cup lovers: \n\nYou already know the countries that have qualified for this World Cup, \n\nbut what are some countries that you were REALLY hoping to see make it, but didn't?\n\nPersonally: Turkey and Senegal

yes i agree with you its Turkey as it is one of the stronger country in futbal and Greek also as it had showed its magic in UEFA Euro 2004. For worldcup info check it


I've checked the DOC info and found no benifit for Megan's Law.  More people are being arrested and there not repeat offenders so why the hit list?

I've never felt the sex offender registry protected anyone. Many people believe there is a high rate of re-offending among sex offenders. This belief is caused by the misinformation portrayed by the media looking for ratings and politicians looking for votes.\n\nThe facts are, according to the US Dept. of Justice that only 3.5% of sex offenders will be reconvicted of another sex crime. The same US Dept. of Justice report states that it is far more likely someone with a previous drug conviction will be convicted of a sex offence than a sex offender. Current and pending legislation ignores these facts. Another fact is there have been more sex offenders murdered by vigilantes in the past year than children murdered by properly registered sex offenders. Those few sex offenders who went on to commit the heinous crime of murder were also drug abusers, they were not registered as required by law and no law would have stopped them.  Addresses and Pictures on the internet did not save one single child.\n\nWhile it is true there are some high risk offenders it is also true that most on the registries are not high risk. The majority of people on the registries go on to live a crime free life and reunite with, or build a new, family. These families do in fact include children. Are we to wait until one of these children are killed before changes are made? How many more murders must happen? \n\nThe only real way to protect our children is parental supervision. The vast majority of these highly publicized cases the past few years could have been prevented if the child's parent/guardian were present. In this day and age anyone who allows a 10 or 11 year old to walk the streets alone should be charged with child endangerment. Let's not forget that less than 10% of all sex crimes are reported. This means that for every sex offender in your neighborhood there are at least 9 who are not on the registry because they have not been reported or caught yet. \n\nIt is time for community groups, professionals and lawmakers to come up with solutions that will help stop the cycle of child sex abuse, and all sex crimes. The time for continuing to punish offenders who completed their court ordered sentences and their families for a crime someone else MIGHT commit needs to end. 80% of all sex offenders report being a childhood victim of sex abuse. Most never reported this and therefore never received victim treatment. With these facts in mind let's remember that today's victims are tomorrow’s offenders. Will the registries prevent this? NO


Basically the only place i bump into this guy is where he works as a doorman. We liked each other years ago when we were both 16 years old and now I dont know how he feels. I know he is working and doin his job but when i was there last night, he approached me for a chat but as we were taking he never once looked at me while we spoke. I saw him talking to another girl and he was looking at her. Thing is that I am a rubbish flirter so he may not want to do anything unless he can tell i fancy him? What is this about? Does he think i am ugly or is he shy?

The only way to find out is get up the courage to ask. It's hard to do, but it's true. Time and time again you'll see similar questions here, and this same answer repeated. You've gotta be willing to risk a little to possibly gain a lot.\n\nSince you seem to doubt your flirting skills and seem a little shy yourself, a little note of some sort might suffice. Something a little provocative, and flattering, but cute and innocent at the same time. Perhaps something along the lines of, "This may sound silly, but I used to have a crush on you, and I'd like to get to know you better. Maybe we can get together sometime and talk about it over dinner?"\nI dunno... Anything's better than living in doubt and wondering about it for the rest of your life, though.


Where do you like to go ,if you have given an opportunity to be a space tourist...? The moon,the sun,any planet,any galaxy,any star or any satellite... Also would you mind describing me the reason why?

I would love to visit a planet orbiting a star that has strayed away from the plane of our galaxy. Imagine the night sky lit up by an entire galaxy - a great luminous spiral looming overhead.\n\nThe Valles Marineris must be quite magnificent too. It is largest known canyon in our solar system. Like Grand Canron, much more vast and red.


I am 5'4" and I weigh 160 lbs. Is that too much?

According to a BMI or Body Mass Index it would be. But do you feel healthy? Is your weight affecting your movement or health in any way? That is what you need to be concerned about. Health and self esteem. Not Body Mass Indexes and the coke snorting, bulemic, masses of liposuctioned, air brushed, skeletons you see in the media.


If you used a ranking guide (like Princeton Review's or U.S News and World Report's) to choose the college you are in now, did you think the guides proved to be accurate in any way?\n\nShould we factor in these guides as an important part of choosing a college?

It depends.  The rankings for undergrad programs are just plain and simple made up, or might as well be.  Too many factors, too much shady dealing, too much of, well, trying to sell issues of the magazine.  Funny how colleges that refuse to even let US News & World Reports on their campus still wind up in the "survey results."  You are also trying to compare fundementally different programs without taking those differences into consideration.\n\nThe Graduate program rankings fair a little better, because there you can at least compare department to department and not try to reduce the entire school down to a number.\n\nIn short, the graduate rankings have some meaning, but you can pretty much replicate the undergrad rankings by conducting a person on the street survey.\n\nOne of the better undergraduate surveys that I have found was "Colleges that Change Lives."  It winds up being a very usefull tool for a couple of reasons.  First it doesn't assign any points, it simply talks about each of the colleges it is surverying, and secondly it is very narrow in focus, in this case really indroducing one to the world of small, personable liber arts colleges.  Obviously if one is looking to go to a big school, for any number of fine reasons this list is not for them, but it is a list that at least does it right.

i need to no what can cause these problems  vomiting  &diarrea

Vomiting and diarrhea can be caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, foods that are hard to digest and other things. If you have been vomiting for more than 12 hours or having diarrhea for more than 48 hours, please be seen by a doctor.  Take frequent small sips of cold, clear liquids till the vomiting and nausea have stopped.  Take at least a teaspoonful every minute to prevent dehydration.  Clear Liquid Diet includes: Water, Coke, 7 Up, Kool-Aid, Jello water (one teaspoon of Jello powder per half cup of water), Gatorade, tea, broth, Popsicle, and Pedialyte. \nA Bland, Low Fat Diet can be started when there has been no vomiting for a couple of hours and you are no longer nauseated.  This diet includes: unbuttered rice, potatoes, noodles, crackers, toast, cereal, unbuttered cooked vegetables, soft fruits (especially bananas), poached or boiled egg, and most soups.  Continue plenty of clear liquids till the diarrhea has stopped. \nAVOID foods high in sugar or fats till the diarrhea has stopped.\nCONTACT YOUR DOCTOR FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: \nThe temperature is over 103 degrees Fahrenheit.\nYou see no improvement after 24 hours.\nThere is a seizure (convulsion).\nYou have trouble breathing.\nYou see blood in bowel movement.\nSigns of dehydration occur: Dry mouth, tearless or sunken eyes, little or no urine.


I am moving to miami lakes florida at the end of may. I have never witnessed a hurricane before! Are they very dangerous, do they hit the miami area often and what is the best thing for me to do when one hits? Also any good bars in the miami lakes area?

I live in Houston, Tx. I have worked in Miami, and all over Florida. Hurricanes come through Miami even more often then Houston. Most of the ones that go through Florida, or the panhandle are smaller categories that may not threated many human lives, but can be a nightmare on property. Not too long ago i got a chance to meet a lot of Katrina evacuees, as well as going through the scare of Rita just a few weeks after. It is horrifying to see some of the effects these things can have on entire cities, and even states. Do not listen to everything they say on TV, for it is just a depiction of the worse possible, whether it is scenario, or what actually happened. Miami is so beautiful, that you will enjoy yourself, and the possibility of Hurricanes will only be a small memory compared to everything else you will experience there. Enjoy\nElis\nHouston, TX


This is assuming she couldn't get a work permit on her own.  Also, how about if I were granted unlimited leave to remain?  Could she piggy back off of my status then?

You did not say if your wife was there on a visa, nor the type of visa she was on if any.\n\nBy your question I have came to the conclussion that she is not a citizen of the UK, so to answer your question each  foreign person residing in the UK and desiring to work  there must have their own work permit.\n\nShe can not piggy back off your status.


i dont have the budget to pay for a diet program and i dont have the time to excerise daily. what sites can i go to that will help me?

drive 200 mph or more on a race track in a summer day. OR put yourself inside a very hot humid room (just sweat it out)


I recently purchased memeory for my pc. I don't know how to convert it over to where I can use it.

Do you mean a memory stick like for digital photos or are you talking about RAM?  If it's RAM, then no "conversion" should be necessary.  If it's compatible with your system, it should work as soon as you plug it in and turn the system on.


i have  a story to tell and need someone to write and publish the book for the public

I will have to answer both questions.\n\nOne.\nYou need to contact a literary agent, many have reading fees for unsolicitated manuscripts (which is what you have).  Some do not have these fees and it may be a better idea for you.  Remember, the agent, once he agrees to represent you will take care of everything else, so choose wisely.\n\nTwo.\nYou must write at least a rough draft of your book.  Even a ghost writer (someone who writes books for other people) will require a rough draft of your story.  Get on that immediately.  I would recommend that you outline your story by bullet points.  \n\nJohn mets Nancy\nNancy's Mom dies\nJohn at the funeral\nNancy breaks up with John\nJohn cries at the bridge....\n\nOutlining helps non-writers and writers alike remember how they want to tell their story.\n\nGood luck and get to work.


I mean that is better anyways. People older are alot more mature and take care of you better than someone your age. Plus, you can trust them better.


he just decided he wanted to work and live somewhere else after not working for 2 yrs with me im heartbroken i know i should be mad but im so hurt

Well, next time don't support a non-working loser.\n\nBut in the meantime, you are mainly hurt because you did everything for this guy and he didn't appreciate it.  He felt smothered and left.  He's an a s s  and you should be very glad he's out of your life now.


My some friends are very jealous and so mean to me, thats why i want to send them friendship e mails.can u forward them to my e mail address?\nMy e mail address is harsingh911@yahoo.com.\ni will be grate thankful to u if u send some friendship e mails to me.

i'll be your friend i emailed u check ur mail!!!\nWhy r they jealous?


if there are ppl out there with personal thought or theorys i wanna read them. i mean there are scientists and governmental officials who have thoughts, therorys, and ideas as to when the world will come to an end.based on religious, spiritual, moral,scientific or, insightful thoughts what do you think?


How long does it usually take for the first outbreak ? I've been with my b/f for almost 3 years , he swares he has NOT cheated. I read it could take a long time for a first outbreak, What is considered a LONG time ? He has not been to the doctor yet, but has a few raised spots on his penis , that are concerning me.

It usually takes 2 to 4 weeks for the first outbreak to appear.  It is  usually the worst and longest lasting outbreak.  Encourage him to see a doctor.  I would avoid intercourse.  Good Luck!


he never does anything on the home comp. but will never bring home the work comp.He tells me he isnt doing it but, i feel he is, he says if he even get email that has a word like job in it it is blocked, but that doesnt make sence, hes at work lol...I think he can plug into a phone line and use our home account, those of you with a lap top, tell me how to catch him if i can, this is very serious, i dont want him to get fired, and i am not a teenager, so please be serious ok...thankyou.

i made a quick search on yahoo and google and found this site, it's like the ultimate search site on Laptops.\n\nI was looking for some answers for some questions I was asking on laptops too and it came really handy, I want to share it with you if you haven't already discovered it...\n\nthese guys are fantastic experts and they sometimes answer the question you put on the website straight away.\n\nhttp://imedia.atspace.com/laptop.htm\n\nif you find the site useful i really suggest you nominate my answer as the best answer please.\n\nthank you


I have a black belt and I was told that there was a list that I could see my name.

Black-Belt Holder List at Hong Kong Taekwondo Center, Korea Taekwondo Cheung Do Kwan. \n\nIf you go to the sources that I've listed below you should hopefully see what you're looking for.


But he doesnt believe me since we broke up. and i cant take it anymore. i cry alot im always deppressed i never have time to b happy cause hes always on my mind

Focus your mind on something that you're good at. If you like painting, then paint more. Hangout more with your friends. Go to the beach, anything that keeps your from thinking of him.


It seems that fishing for walleyes is the obsession around here in South Dakota.  So how is it done?

It is an obsession in North Dakota too!!!..Well, lets see. The first thing you need to know is that they are predator fish and usually night feeders. Both live baits and artificials work well with walleye. There are many sites that can help you with the details...and several great articles out there. You just need to get on the water and keep your line tight!! Good luck.


Mechanics of reflexes (reflex Arc, neurons)\nThe specific anatomy of the reflexes tried\nThe uses of reflexes\nReflex as a diagnostic tool ( particularly in historical times)

A reflex action is a stereotyped (involuntary) motor response elicited by a defined stimulus. 1 A reflex action is mediated via the reflex arc.\n\nA reflex arc is the neural pathway that mediates a reflex. It generally does not involve the brain. In higher animals it is composed of a spinal "reflex integration center" composed of interneurons to connect affector (sensory stimulation) and effector (response) signals. While the reflex generation may be initiated by nociceptive input, extensive processing takes place within the spinal cord. The neural connection from the primary sensory neurons to the motor neurons is a poly-synaptic pathway (Andersen).\n\nIn lower animals reflex interneurons not necessarily inolve the spinal cord, see e.g., lateral giant neuron of crayfish.\n\nA reflex to a stimulus is almost simultaneous, as the reflex arc doesn't involve the brain at all.\nA reflex action or reflex is a biological control system linking stimulus to response and mediated by a reflex arc. Reflexes can be built-in or learned. It occurs very quickly before thinking. Before the message is sent to the brain the spine picks it up and sends it back to the muscle causing spasm.\n\nSimple reflex\nA simple reflex is entirely automatic and involves no learning.\n\nAn example is the escape reflex (e.g., the sudden withdrawal of a hand in response to a pain stimulus), or the patellar reflex (the jerking of a leg when the kneecap is tapped). Sensory cells (receptors) in the stimulated body part send signals to the spinal cord along a sensory nerve cell. Within the spine a reflex arc switches the signals straight back to the muscles of the body (in this case the arm or the leg) (effectors) via an intermediate nerve cell and then a motor nerve cell; contraction of the leg occurs, and the muscle contracts (the arm or leg jerks upwards). Only three nerve cells are involved, and the brain is only aware of the response after it has taken place. Such reflex arcs are particularly common in animals, and have a high survival value, enabling organisms to take rapid action to avoid potential danger.\n\nConditioned reflex\nA conditioned reflex involves the modification of a reflex action in response to experience (learning). A stimulus that produces a simple reflex response becomes linked with another, possibly unrelated, stimulus. For example, a dog may salivate (a reflex action) when it sees its owner remove a tin-opener from a drawer because it has learned to associate that stimulus with the stimulus of being fed.\n\nReaction time\nFor a reflex, reaction time or latency is the time from the onset of a stimulus until the organism


lz tel me hw to Set the Java path and run java program proerly.\nwen i m trying to run it the mesage is displayed    "cjava is not recognised as internal or extrnal command..

Easy.  Just include "jdk<version>\bin" in your PATH environment variable.  You have to know the path to your jdk directory (where you installed java).  Then there are two ways to include your it in your path.\n\n1. Option 1: put it in your path every time you open a new command window.  (Note: Yahoo Answers won't let me put a slash character in here -- can't escape it also. So I'll put  an under_score character below to include back-slash.)\n\nset PATH=C:_jdk<version>_bin;%PATH%\n\n2. Or include it in your computer's env variable.  (In windows 2000, you can right-click My Computer --> Properties --> Advanced --> Environment Variables --> Then edit your "PATH" variable [or create one if it doesn't exist]).  Good luck!


Just a guess, here, but you can find them in Magazine and Salary.com.


How can I delete the websites on my computer's internet History?  How can I delete my computer's memory of these sites PERIOD??\nThanks alot!

You have history button( after favourites button) in the toolbar of IE you click that it will show the history and you can delete the history of the pages you have viewed. If you want to clear the entire information i.e if you dont want the previous sites you have view in your taskbar then do this in IE-Tools-Internet Options-Delete Cookies, this will clear all the previous info you have viewed.

my dad gave me sideline tickets to fridays hornets basketball game.  A girl i had been dating Misty Turner(Swanson) came by to get some of her stuff since we had recent falling out. well she stole my tickets.  I am not necessarily looking for anything but to make sure she cannot use them.I was going to take my 7 year old son to this game and i dont know how i am going to break it to him that he is not going now!

if you know the ticket numbers, go to the original place where the basketball tickets were bought and tell them that those tickets were stolen.


Yesterday hundreds and thousands of legal, illegal, and us citizens marched in order to prove their rights which most don,t have in our country. The continued to say that they were here to do the job the we the citizens of the United States would not do. They believe that they should be allowed to stay in order to perform these low paying jobs, and to fulfill the american dream. Their are people all across the world who have been waiting for Visas' and green cards and have yet to get them. Do you think it is fair for them to stay in this country while those who took the right procedures still await for approval or do you think they should be convicted of felonies for entering this country illegal. What do you think the message was to our people in congress and what do you think will be done, or perhaps should be done? Keep in mind these people are starting their own businesses and have taken the jobs that americans will do with a wage to compensate for their job.

I think that it's wrong because they entered our country illegally and they are using our tax dollars to fund their health care and various other charities. They enter our country illegally which is a crime and then they expect Americans to open our arms and welcome them. I have heard that this movement is similar to the ones that they had in the 1960's, wrong! In the 1960's the Black AMERICANS were protesting for equal rights that they deserved. The black AMERICANS were being discriminated against in their own country--they were born here and they deserved to be treated as fairly as any other AMERICAN. I am not a predijiuce person, I believe that everyone who wants to APPLY to become an American citizen has that right, however, I do not believe that it is fair to the people who are applying and waiting patiently to come to this great country of ours to see that all they have to do is enter illegally and they are home free. We are very blessed to be natural born citizens and while we do have our problems it is still the best country in the world! Could you imagine if this protesting of illegals was occuring in other countries, it would not happen because it would not be tolerated and the people involved would be severly punished. And as for the people who are sponsoring these protest--have they lost their minds!! AGAIN, these people entered our country ILLEGALY, I just don't get it, and for the people sponsoring these protests they are self proclaiming themselves as being like Dr. Martin Luther King. What a joke! What frightens me is that just by sheer numbers they might actually make it happen. This government needs to wake up and do something about this prevelant problem before it gets out of hand and our borders will be nothing but 'free for alls'. As for the saying that this country was born on the backs of immigrants, I agree, however, you need to come here LEGALLY as many millions in the past has done.


Look, i really want a guy who knows what hes doing but i cant seem to find one who treats me right can you tell me what guys look for in gurls...so i kno!

It depends on what type of guy it is. Some guys are just looking for a sexual relationship, but some guys, considered the "good guys" seek a good positive attitude. Keep your legs closed, and don't be clingy, and you'll get more respect out of them.


Hello, I recently took my SATs and I got a score of 2070. I don't know what percentile that is and I can't find anything online that has a list of percentiles for last year's SATs. Please help, can anyone tell me what percentile am I in, or point me to a resource? Thank you.

the average score in math was 518, 508 for verbal on the "old version" of the sat (no written portion.  anaylisis of results for the "new sat" won't be available until august 2006


how do birefringent cyrstals appear under the microscope?

Birefringence is caused by a directional dependence to the refractive index of a material. This is often caused by the underlying crystal structure of the material (the unit cell might not be translationally or rotationally invariant, for example), or by an imposed stress which imposes a "directionality" on an otherwise non-birefringent material (a polymer like polystyrene which has been stretched, for example).\n\nThe refractive index is the speed of light in a material divided by its speed in a vacuum. That means, if the material has a refractive index that differs in one direction from another, light will pass through in one direction more quickly than in the other. This leads to addition or cancellation of light wave intensity due to phase shifts, resulting in dark and light areas when the material is viewed with white light under crossed polarizers (if the material is not birefringent, all would appear "black" through crossed polarizers).\n\nThe refractive index is not a simple number, or "scalar". It is actually best represented by a quantity called a "tensor". A tensor is a mathematicl quantity that is helpful in describing the directional dependence of quantities like the refractive index or the state of stress ina material.

Every four years...a straight vote...with the winner receiving the majority of the popular vote...

I'm for it, and most Americans are, at least those who understand what it is all about.\nThe problem is, as it's a constitutional issue, we need to make an amendment. That requires that two thirds of the States need to approve it.\nThose States with low population numbers, will vote against it, as it isn't to their advantage.\nIt has been suggested, that each  of the most populist states, eg, California, New York, change their constitution, to give all their votes to the winner. That way, they will get around the smaller States, and for once, the candidates, will  have to spend more time and money getting their votes.


I am not sure how the thermal energy will be transferred. Is it by conduction,convection or radiation. Thank you.

The heat energy is transfered away from the hot coffee to the cooler surrounding by all three methods, \nconduction, convection, and radiation.\n\nHeat [energy] is conducted from the hot coffee to the surroundings (air, container, ...), in addition, small convection currents develop to help the conduction process take place.  In addition, energy is also lost through radiation.  The hot coffee also emits a small amount of  infra red radiation which is invisible to the naked eye, this radiation carries energy away from the coffee, gradually cooling it.


It keeps saying "Error burning DVD"....would reinstalling it help?

if its new you could try re-installing it.  if its old maybe the laser is burned out.  maybe the dvd is not write-able.\nif you just bought it take it back to the store for an exchange.


i need something like a datasheet or a application note about ultrasonice,some pdf that guide me to know what are the abilities of ultrasonice?

If you throw say your car keys on the kitchen table they will jangle making audible sounds you can hear and ultrasonic sounds with frequencies too high for you to hear.  An ultrasonic listening device can "hear" the sounds you can't hear.  For example truck drivers may point an ultrasonic test device at their tires to hears air leaks that humans can not hear.  The pickup is like a sensative small microphone.  Perhaps you can use a search engine to find "ultrasonic tester" etc.  Good luck.

and wat do u think about this new national anthem, i think its pretty stupid

Can you imagine moving to France or Bolivia or Mexico and expecting everyone there to be able to communicate with you in ENGLISH? If you're adopting the country as your new home, you need to conform to its customs and laws.\n\nThe national anthem they came out with is insulting. Shall we rewrite the Mexican anthem, record it in English and release it in their country? Bet they'd start a war over that!


Need info on what experience is desired for entry-level positions and/or analyst positions.

Depends which field.  Generally, they'll skim over your work XP unless you have something fantasic that's a very good fit.\n\nFor analyst type positions, the most important thing is probably how well you can think on your feet.  They'll grill you for the whole day with brain teasers, finance questions (if you majored in econ/finance), statistics, probability, algorithms, and other similar things.  You obviously don't have to get them all right, but your general pattern of thinking and coming to the right solution is important.\n\nTraders are probably more personality fit since that's an important part.  Sales is more talking.  There are tons of entry level positions at GS.
