The term meteor comes from the Greek meteoron, meaning phenomenon in the sky. It is used to describe the streak of light produced as matter in the solar system falls into Earth's atmosphere creating temporary incandescence resulting from atmospheric friction. This typically occurs at heights of 80 to 110 kilometers (50 to 68 miles) above Earth's surface. The term is also used loosely with the word meteroid referring to the particle itself without relation to the phenomena it produces when entering the Earth's atmosphere. A meteoroid is matter revolving around the sun or any object in interplanetary space that is too small to be called an asteroid or a comet. Even smaller particles are called micrometeoroids or cosmic dust grains, which includes any interstellar material that should happen to enter our solar system. A meteorite is a meteoroid that reaches the surface of the Earth without being completely vaporized.

The Qur'an states in Surah 4:157 that Jesus was not crucified: "And their [Jews'] boasting: 'We killed Messiah Jesus, Son of Mary the Apostle of Allah, but they [Jews] killed him not, nor crucified him ..." Do you still believe that he died on the cross?We all agree that nobody saw the moment he was resurrected. They found that the sepulchre in which Jesus had been laid was empty and concluded that he had been resurrected, because the disciples and other witnesses saw him alive after the alleged crucifixion. Could it not be possible, as the Qur'an claims, that he didn't die on the cross?

No he wasn`t as you said according to Quran & the muslim belief\nwe muslims say that the one who was crucified is Judas (the one who betrayed him) we say that god made Judas look like Jesus so the Romans arrested him not Jesus & Jesus was raised by god to heaven & he will return back to unite the muslims & christians to one belief & to fight the anti-christ\n\nSee the sites below:-\nhttp://www.jesuswillreturn.com/\nhttp://www.harunyahya.com/books/faith/did_not_die/jesus_did_not_die_01.php\nhttp://islamtomorrow.com/articles/

There are many ways to understand the basis of a religion.\nu can do a research urself or u can ask somebody about it.\nu can ask a believer or u can read their beliefs(e.g holy books)\nu can see how they act or u can hear something about them(even if the source is against that religion!!)\n\nNow!How do u gain information about religions that live among us?\nand how much are u sure that u have choosen the best way to understand it?\n~peace

It is important to look at a variety of sources.  If you are wanting to study Hinduism, for example, it is very important that you not rely on just one book or website, because misinformation abounds about Hinduism (because a lot of the information is old and based on old colonial biases).  What is ideal is if you can read books by an adherent of the religion, AND by those who are NOT adherents of the religion.  This will help you get a balanced view.  There are some things about a religion that non-believers can not ever totally grasp, and that is why an insider's view is so valuable.  On the other hand, there are some things that an insider may not be willing to admit or not able to accept about his or her own religion.  So reading from both adherents and non-adherents might give you an idea of such issues.\n\nIf you can go to a place of worship, that is wonderful.  There is usually someone you can find there that will be happy to answer any questions you have about their religion.  Some religions of course see this as an opportunity to try to convert you.  But others will respect that you are just trying to learn, and do not generally seek converts, although they may welcome them.\n\nJust seeing the atmosphere in a place of worship can tell you a lot.  But of course, you must remember that one church/mosque/temple/synagogue/gurudwara, etc does not necessarily represent them all.\n\nI have been to 4 or 5 synagogues, and every one of them was unique and left different impressions on me.\n\nReading primary sources is extremely important.  By primary sources, I mean things like Holy Scriptures, prayer books, etc.  Usually a look at a Scripture will give you a pretty good idea, but not always.  There are a few cases where reading a holy Scripture of a religion may actually give you the WRONG idea about a religion.  Just as an example, if you are wanting to know about Christianity, you may naturally think a good place to start would be the Bible.  But the first things you read in the Bible actually have very little to do with Christianity, because they are about the Laws of Israel, the Temple of Jerusalem, etc.\n\nAnother example may be the Rig Veda.  This is often said to be the holiest Scripture of Hinduism, but reading it will tell you very little about most modern-day Hindus.  Most of the gods of the Rig Veda are not the most important Gods worshiped by Hindus today.  You could probably get a better idea of Hinduism by reading the Bhagavad Gita, which is actually not usually listed as one of the primary sacred texts.\n\nA great book about World Religions is by Huston Smith's "The World Religions."  It is a delight to read, and it really gets to the heart and soul of each religion that it deals with.


What happened to veterans who served this country? are they all forgoten?

I support our troops all the time! I have never forgotten about them for one second! I had 5 uncles who served in WWII, 2 of which served in the Korean conflict, then later on, I had 2 uncles who served in the Viet Nam war. BTW, the people who served in Viet Nam were spat upon and degraded so badly that I felt ashamed of how our country treated them when they came home! Anyway, I won't get hostile, but I am very proud of our men and women who are serving in all divisions of our military. I do DJ/KJ shows quite often in an American Legion Post, and there is never a night that we don't all hold hands and sing "God Bless the USA." Yes, I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, AND AM TRUELY GRATEFUL TO OUR TROOPS...PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE!


a boy who likes me im sure allways picks on me and talks about us being married ..and having kids would you say something like that if you liked a girl? and why the f... for?

E.g Paracetamol, codine, aspirin based tablets.

they just block the receptors that are recieving the action potential that we interprate as pain.  So suppression i suppose because if it cures pain you could eat paracetamol break a leg and not realise.\n\npain is a good thing...tells you to leave the darn thing along its trying to heal itself!  unless you have a headache and its probably twelling you its dehydrated and you need to drink more water


i am doing a essay in my legabit class and i was going to do it about margaret wise brown (author of goodnight moon) because someone told me she was a lesbian. i acnnot find any websites stating this. help!

I filed and Turbotax electronic filing told me I would be receiving ~$2400; however, the refund was directly deposited into my account today and was only for $1500.  Wondering why this would be?

The government might have recalculated something that your software did wrong.  If you review your return and want to dispute it, you should do so [but only if you have a clean return, the IRS can go back 7 years to dig stuff up on you].


I renew my contract for 2 more years?  Or do i have to wait until I can uprgade which is in november?

well to renew your contract, you have to pay money around 150 dollars. I would suggest that you go w/ verizon-- same phone and same price, but u dont hafta break the contract w/ cingular. plus, verizon works great for me!!


My doctor told me that I have mild allergies which make my ears feel stopped up, get fluid in them, or they are itchy. OTC meds make me jittery as I'm prone to anxiety, but does anyone have a natural, stimulant free way of clearing fluid, stopped up ears? It often makes me either dizzy or nauseated and drives me batty.

Claritin or it's generic (loratadine) is available OTC and does not have a decongestant ingredient, which is probably the "stimulant" you are referring to that makes you jittery. It will stop the fluid production and help. Nasalcrom spray also helps and does not cause any side effects like nervousness.\nTaking a teaspoonful of local honey, produced locally so it has the same pollens you are reacting to might help.


She is bipolar, though won't admit it. My sister, brother and I know it. We have heard it is possible inherited. She did not show signs of being this way until she was about 35. I am 30...and just wondering.

Even when genetic, there is no sure proof that you or your siblings will get it as well, there is a certain level of self awareness that bipolar victims don't have, as long as you remain emotionally balanced and maintain high self confidence, I don't see how much of a possibility it would be for you to get it as well.


my dad needs a job, a job that doesn't need a lots of work, and gives you lots of money back, it has to be in\ncharlotte NC.

There are a lot of good job websites out there such as www.monster.com, or you could check out your local newspaper's website in their classified ads. Or you could do a search on your computer for jobs in the Charlotte, NC area. Hope this helps!

Does anyone have any suggestion on meds? and the side effects.

Twenty percent of people treated with Avandia or Actos notice higher numbers on the scale. The problem is usually fluid retention, not increased fat deposits. However, be aware that a rapid weight gain, especially if accompanied by ankle swelling, is a warning sign of something more serious than simple water retention. These drugs have been associated with heart failure or worsening of existing heart failure. If you have any symptoms, let your doctor know right away.

We are looking to buy a home and a lot of ads boast turn key financing. What does that mean?

ICF maker offers home-buyers turnkey financing program\n\nJul 1, 2003 12:00 PM\n\n\nIn a partnership with First Federal Bank of Minnesota, Omaha, Neb.-based insulating concrete form manufacturer Reward Wall Systems has introduced a “3-in-1 Financing” program for home-building customers using the company's ICF technology. The financing covers land, construction and long-term mortgage, offering what Reward officials note are these benefits and provisions: no down payment; energy-efficient credit; one-time closing cost; builder options (self or general contractor-administered building); no loan payments for as long as one year. Reward manufacturers residential and commercial ICF systems, distributing them through ready mixed producers and other construction material channels

I have a new HP running XP and the some of the preloaded software can't be removed via "add/remove" under the control panel.  I'd like a "clean" removal & I'm afraid that by simply deleting the program folder, there may be junk left over in the registry, etc.  Thank you for helping!

try to download removal program and give it a try.  If not, I guess you can google it, like remove xxxxx program.  If there something you have to watch out, it will usually shows, if not, you should be able to just go and delete it from your machine.  You can also take out the registry following the link.


i always get confused with them \nplz help me out

1. Start with what you know - H is one, so in HCl Cl is one. In H2SO4 the sulphate group has a valency of two since there are two hydrogens. And so on.\n\n2. Pick out elements that you regularly need to know and learn them off by heart.\n\n3. Use the periodic table; elements in the same groups have the same valency (not transition elements).


i have a crush at 2 fourth year students. When I already knew them, I felt that im inlove with  both of them and when I dont see them, i feel that my day is not enough. Sometimes I think that they will graduate what will i do? What will I do to forget them?

No I don't think your crazy your just feeling incomplete and love is such a strong word so if it is love that you are feeling and your not just taking those words for granted then I am sorry its gonna be hard to forget them love is a long lasting word but time will go by and trust me time does heal the pain but will never make you forget them your just gonna find someone else you love second best and except what has been givin to you.


What is the equation of the line parallel to the line determined by the points (10,-1) (30, -1) that passes through the point (1, 7)?


My brother recently recieved a purple heart, and i was curious about the benefits. Health Care, etc.

It is an award for shedding blood for the greatest country on God's green Earth.  Those who receive it are automatically listed in the Order of the Purple Heart. \n\nALL VETERANS not just those  awarded the medal are entitled to treatment  in VA hospitals. \n\n The medal itself is traced back to the Revolutionary War when General Washington allowed wounded soldiers to adorn their uniforms with a purple ribbon to signify their sacrifice.  \n\nTo equate service and sacrifice to a political loss is a disservice to all who have worn the uniform.


It appears many of Saddam's documents were recently declassified and upon examination its been discovered that there were several communications to Bin Laden and Al Quada operatives pre 9/11. So you still dont belive that Saddam would colaborate with other anti-American elements? Why isnt this hitting the MSM?

You think youre pretty clever coming up with this. Ok, now let me tell you something. Not long before 9-11, Bin Laden was treated at the American Hospital in Dubai, where he was also visited by a local chief of the CIA. Also, throughout the 80s Bin Laden was funded and armed by the CIA to fight against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Al Queda has communicated with government leaders from Russia to Pakistan. Communications prove nothing. By the way, I highly suggest you watch this video on 9-11:\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848\n\n\nPeace


It sounds like it should be a real profession but do they really do anything useful? Do they ever really cure anyone or do they keep people coming back to them because they never can be cured? What kind of education is needed for this profession?

Sure, there's CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy;\nI've watched our clinic psychotherapist work w/some of the patients and I'm impressed... she doesn't prescribe meds, but she has her own way of curing people's issues.\nCBT shows you new ways of seeing things and overcoming fears, so you can live your life.\nIt's very real, no quackery, no touchy-feely stuff, if you go to the right person.


yes, because Jeremy McGrath was on storm.

Should the government or insurance help a person to lose weight if they really are trying but can not afford to do so on thier own? The government is broadcasting on television for people to eat more healthy and be more active. What if a person has physical problems that keep them from exercising and they do not have enough money to buy healthy foods like they should, Junk food is always cheaper than healthy food, but they really do want to lose weight? Should they be helped out by the insurance or goverment for little to no cost to the person trying to lose weight? I think that they should have some kind of care out there for this and I am curious as to what any one else thinks. Thank you for answering my question.

there is an argument that can be made about paying for weight loss/control because the ramifications of obesity are so costly.  however, there are very few proven methods of weight loss aside from eating less and exercising.  people who are incapable of exercising are already at a point where their health is impacted.\n\nyour point about junk food being less expensive than good food is very valid but unfortunately, the government is filled with lobbyists from the snack food and fast food industries who encourage legislation to promote their products (who would actually believe that ketchup is a vegetable?  your government does).  it's interesting that in every country that adopts western culture to any extent, obesity almost invariably follows.  america's number one export is fat.


Alot of people and some of my friends like golf. I think it's kind of boring. What to you think?

I have noticed that the majority of golfers are older.\nGolf can actually be a good workout if you carry your bag.\nYou will get in several miles of vigorous walking, especially on a hilly course.\n\nAs far as liking a sport? Well?  The challenge of hitting a ball 400 yards, with a club, and doing it in just 4-5 shots is a challenge that is almost addicting, as you strive to make that 'great' shot..\n\nThink about it.  You are taking a ball less than 2 inchs, and smacking it only a few times to get it into a little hole some distance away.  \n\nThe bonuses of golf are the cute cart girls, who bring refreshments, and meeting new people, and a feeling of being in the great outdoors.\n\nAnd the best reason to play golf is you get to break away from your regular chores.


Ok. I am at the bus stop, and theres this kid who plays around with me. He punches me, and gets to agressive. So I was standing there, and he pushes me. He gave a very good, put not hard push, and i hit a girl from behind. She got back up, then she started crying about her pants. A little portion ripped, and now she is telling me to pay $$30 for it. Should i bee the one paying. Isn't there a better solution, like getting it tailored.?

You sound like a kid, with the bus stop thing, so I would talk to your parents.  They can then talk to the girl's parents and explain the situation.  You could also look into talking to the bully's parents, and see if they won't make him pay for it


It's 277K.\nWater density is greatest at 4 degrees Celsius (O degrees Celsius = 273K, so 4 degrees Celsius = 277K).\nWhen the temperature decreases to 0 Celsius, the density of water decreases to 0.999 g/cm^3 and the volume increases about 10%.\nThat's why ice floats on rivers - because at 0 degrees Celsius it has lower density than water!\n\nGreetings from Poland!

If this is a newly installed slave drive, try going to start, and my computer. see if its listed in the left hand margin. you may have to format the slave drive. you can also try to repair your old master hard drive. boot up your computer and put in your winxp disc. reboot from cd and go to repair


ok, i just bought some Ernie Ball electric guitar strings for the first time since i bought my new guitar. the end of the strings that were already in my guitar looked like this: --------------D. but on my ernie ball's they look like this:-------------o. am i suppose to use the ernie ball strings anyway?

Yes, just wrap them around the hub a few times and they should stay put when you tune them.


I have a credit card that has various rates for different transactions.  For example, Purchases are 29.99%, Promotions could be 9.99% or 4.99% and there are different balances on all of them.\n\nThe credit card company comes back with an Effective Annual Percentage Rate of 19.55%.\n\nHow do you figure out this number?  Is it like a weighted average?\n\nI know if you have $5000 at 20% and $1000 at 10% on the same card, the combined interest rate will not be 15% because you have the majority of the money at 20%, so it will be higher than 15%.\n\nAny ideas?

NOrmally, your credit card will have the following interests. One for purchases. One for cash advance. One for balance transfers.\n\nPurchases can have a promotional rate like 0% for the first 6 months of the card then it goes to Prime + xx%. Cash advances are normally 22% Balance transfers can be as low as 3% for the life of the balance depending on your credit history (both usage and payment) with your card company. You are correct, do not average them as it will only confuse you further. Treat them individually. The reason for the different rates is to "lure" you into spending much on the lowest interest segment, usually, balance transfers. While it is in your cardmember agreement in very fine print, all your payments will first be applied to the LOWEST INTEREST charges. When that is completely paid off then and only then will it apply to the second lowest and so on. Imagine you made a cash advance of $500 at 22% but have purchases of $700 at 17% and a balance transfer of $5000 at 3%. Until you are able to pay off completely the $5000, the $700 will continue to earn interest upon interest plus the $500 cash advance will rake in 22% month after month.\n\nMy advice to all is when you have a credit card with a low balance transfer rate, by all means use it for balance transfers only. Use another card to purchase goods. Or pay the balance off before doing a balance transfer.

as I have already received 4 answers and two of them speak about a lymph node I´ll thank you to explain me the difference; because the doctor talked about a ganglion and not about a lymph node .

Usually in anatomy a ganglion is nerve tissue, a lump of cells from which nerves originate (trigeminal ganglion, for example). A visible or palpable ganglion is not something you encounter regularly, in contrast with lymph nodes. If you are absolutely certain that it is indeed a nerve ganglion, you should further investigate its causes. Palpable nerve tissue may be seen in familial diseases like von Recklinghausen syndrome (neurofibromatosis) or other diseases like amyloidosis. Depending on location and size it may also be a benign nerve tissue tumor. All of these are very rare and I wouldn't worry about it. \n\nHOWEVER: some doctors use the term ganglion to refer to swollen lymph nodes (as in lymphatic ganglion, see page below). I also think that the term ganglion is used to refer to lymph nodes in other languages, i.e. french. The rough meaning of the word "ganglion" (greek) is "knot" which is appropriate for both nerve tissue (typical usage) and some times for other tissue types. In that sense, ganglion refers to how it looks/feels, not to what it actually is.\n\nFinally, there is another type of ganglion that occurs in joints. As an example, several people, typists, for example, have a wrist ganglion from overuse of the hands. \n\nI do believe that in this case the terms were used interchangeably and your doctor really meant lymph node. Typically, the above posters are correct, ganglion is (usually) nerve tissue and is not a lymph node.


I just moved to a new place & now i'm looking for a church to go to and that's close to where i live. I was wondering if there' a site or directory for churches. Help!!

Has anyone ever seen or designed a lubrication system for linear rails (THK) such that the grease is pumped into the pucks from a remote location using fittings, manifolds & tubing?  I need to come up with ideas.

Yes, centralized lubrication systems are quite common on mechanical punch presses as well as other large mechanical machinery.  Check the sources for manufacturers of such systems.  I'm almost certain that there's something made for your particular application.


My eight year old daughter has it all the specialist say it would go away in time, but now see is almost bauld. Has anyone gone though this illness, the only knowledge I have is through litature,anyones personal experience can help me better understand what she is going through .

yes, i used to have it. I had long beatiful hair at one time. But i pulled it all out and yeah i was completly bald. It was caused by stress. I was about 13 at the time. and had just told my parents about a very traumatic thing that had happened to me. So much was going on at the time, i guess that is the only way i felt i could deal with it. I didn't have control of the situation at all. and it was very hard on me, and hard to accept. But i hope things will get better for your daughter. They did for me. It took about 3 yrs. until it completely stopped for me. Now i have a full head of hair. and things are starting to look up for me. I wish the best for you and your daughter. Take care and God bless. If you want to know anything more about my experience, you can email me if you want.

How close do you think today's america is to what Orwell imagined it would be?

The war on terror and the government's response to the threat of terrorism is, in my mind, the strongest echo of 1984 today. The limits on privacy and personal freedoms placed upon us by the Patriot act bring to mind the oppression imposed by Orwell's thought police. Furthermore, the doublespeak employed by the government is clearly an attempt at subtle propaganda. Political doublespeak has been prevalent for decades (if not centuries). This kind of "spin" doesn't just come from the government, but from corporations and the media as well.\n\nThe greatest difference between America today and the world of 1984, however, is the existence of vast communities of dissent that are openly flourishing today. Technology plays a large role in this, as independent viewpoints can be easily distributed to large audiences over the internet. The danger is that technology can be used by the government to increase oppression (NSA, anyone?), and if that happens, we would truly be heading toward an Orwellian world.

How do you define the square root of i? its cube root? fourth root?...\n\nAnswers will be appreciated.Thanks^_^

if 'i' means the imaginary unit....\ni = e^(i*pi/2) = cos(pi/2) + i*sin(pi/2)\nsquare root of i\n(i)^(1/2) = e^(i*pi/4) = cos(pi/4) + i*sin(pi/4)\ncube root of i\n(i)^(1/3) = e^(i*pi/6) = cos(pi/6) + i*sin(pi/6)\nand so on.......


How many points does Kobe Bryant have in his career, not including the game happening right now(in Eastern time zone, right now)versus the pistons.

16,181 (for all you smart people who think I'm wrong, that's counting his all-star points).\n\nIf you count high school points as his career, then the total moves up to 19,064


I have tried and tried to contact metabofuel 100 and the scam on there product, but every number I find, I can't seem to get thru.

Should we all boycott the BODY SHOP as this ethical company is now owned by a company that still does animal testing??\n\nI know someone that took all their Body Shop Products back with a letter of complaint as soon as the company was sold!

Actually, the president of L'Oreal stated that he plans on joining Body Shop's stance of earth-friendly, non-animal-tested products. Here is an article from March 18 (very recent, 3 days ago) that talks about the merger and the possibility of L'Oreal adopting Body Shop's human research methods:\n____________________________________________________________\n\n"A deal would give L'Oreal, based in France, access to Body Shop's international distribution network through retail outlets and the Internet. Currently, L'Oreal's products are available in more than 130 countries. The company also owns outlets that sell Kiehl's cosmetics.\n\nL'Oreal could use a Body Shop deal as a way to reduce its own animal testing. While Body Shop is known for products that aren't tested on animals, the French company has yet to ban animal testing. L'Oreal Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Lindsey Owen-Jones said L'Oreal has a long-term plan of "joining Body Shop on the issue."\n\nL'Oreal SA unveiled a GBP 652.3 million ($1.1 billion) takeover offer for Body Shop International PLC of the U.K., as the world's largest cosmetics group seeks to broaden its international retail presence with more than 2,000 stores.\n\nThe proposed acquisition of Body Shop, known for its budget natural ingredients, cosmetics and body-lotion range, would boost L'Oreal's existing portfolio, which consists of 18 brands including Lancome, Maybelline, Garnier, Redken and Kerastase.\n\nA deal would give L'Oreal, based in France, access to Body Shop's international distribution network through retail outlets and the Internet. Currently, L'Oreal's products are available in more than 130 countries. The company also owns outlets that sell Kiehl's cosmetics.\n\nThe cash bid of 300 pence a share -- a 34% premium to Body Shop's share price before speculation of a possible takeover bid emerged last month -- comes weeks after L'Oreal's incoming chief executive, Jean- Paul Agon, said the company will grow via acquisitions over the next few years.\n\nUnder the terms of the acquisition, Body Shop would retain its separate identity and current management, the companies said. No store closures or job cuts are planned. Body Shop founders Anita and Gordon Roddick, who stopped managing the company in 2002 but stayed on as nonexecutive directors, are expected to receive about GBP 117 million from their 18% stake.\n\nBody Shop, founded 30 years ago in Brighton, England, has more than 2,000 stores world-wide. The company gained popularity during the 1980s when it became one of the first to sell skin-care products made of natural ingredients in recycled packaging. It has lost cachet more recently, however, as other stores -- especially in the U.S. -- have introduced earth-friendly products.\n\nL'Oreal could use a Body Shop deal as a way to reduce its own animal testing. While Body Shop is known for products that aren't tested on animals, the French company has yet to ban animal testing. L'Oreal Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Lindsey Owen-Jones said L'Oreal has a long-term plan of "joining Body Shop on the issue."\n____________________________________________________________\n\nIf I were you, I would write the L'Oreal company and put more pressure on them to adopt Body Shop's practices. The best way to get to a company is through their pocketbooks. Get all your friends to write, too. After all, if the president of L'Oreal is really thinking about changing their practices, your letters and threats of not buying their products will definitely influence their decsions.\n\nGood luck!


It appears that yahoo Canada email does not understand the Canadian spelling of words and the Canadian form of dates ie. 31/12/06?

That's the case everywhere. Use any Yahoo! Mail account, and it'll only check with US English. That's the case with Gmail, Blogger, everyone of them that I know. Guess you gotta bear with it. Till then, if it shows an error in spelling, just press ignore/igonre all button if you know the spelling is correct.


It seems like everyone has myspace now and I don't really understand what is so great about it.

the reason why it appeals to so many people is that everything on there is FREE--music, membership, blogs, page, HTML, etc. and they can make friends.  It brainwashes idiots so much that they give out too much personal info and crap so somebody can go rape them!  It's crazy, not good, especially if you're a girl.


I've been with my girl for a little over three years now.  We both have college degrees, good jobs, and a lot of student loan debt!  I've lived with her for about as long as we've been dating, yet I don't know if it's the right time. Both sides of parents would more than approve and I know that I will marry her someday, I'm just trying to figure out when. SHe is present;y on a long buisness trip that won't put her back in the U.S. until mid-March, is now the right time?

That is a question that only you will know the answer to...it is a matter or where the two of you are in your lives.  If you know you are going to marry her someday then it is only a matter of finding the right time that will be memorable.  \n\nIn terms of have you been together long enough I would say yes based on what you said.  I know 4 different couples that got married less than six months from the time that they met and they are all still married.  The least ammount of time being ten years and the longest being thirty two years.  My adivce would be to do what is right for both of you and make sure that it is something that you will both remember.  I hope this helped

Hi.. I am just wondering ... why is metric spaces important to us? what is the point? why do we need to know it?? Thanks!

I think that the first thing to consider when approaching this question is how it directly fits into what you are familiar with:  The Real numbers.  The real numbers is a set and on that set we defined, back in grade school, a "distance function" mainly the distance from a to b is |a-b|.  A general metric space is a set (like the real numbers) and a distance function.  This distance function has some special properties in order to qualify the group to be a metric space:\n1) the distance is always greater or equal to 0\n2) the distance equals 0 if and only if the 2 points are the same\n3) something called the triangle inequality\n\nSo why are they important.  Clearly the real numbers are important right?  Well Metric spaces are just a generalization of that and are used in some abstract mathematics to describe other phenomena.  Topology makes heavy use of non-standard metric spaces.  Some problems are easier to solve what the real numbers and then a different distance function thus making it a different metric space.


I am 33 and have faught breast cancer and also had a full hysterectomy and am not allowed hormone replacement, I've gained substantial amount of weight and find it hard to lose. Any ideas?

A gradual approach by increasing your metabolism will help you long term lose weight and keep it off.\n\nFor any weight loss program its important to understand how to increase your RMR or metabolism.  Your RMR or resting metabolic rate is the amount of energy you burn in your daily activities.  \n\nDo you know someone who can eat anything they want and  they are skinny as a rail even if they dont workout?  Well that person has a very high RMR.\n\nThere are several ways to increase metabolism but lets look at the factors that drive your metabolism RMR first. \n\n1. Genetics - you have very little control, but you are not a prisoner of your genes. \n\n2. Lean Muscle Mass - this one throws most people off because women think, oh no I dont want muscles and men think I guess I have to look like a body builder. Lean muscle mass is simply your weight minus the weight of your organs, bones, fluids and fat. You increase lean muscle mass primarily through eating properly, resistance exercise, and a lifestyle that doesnt promote catabolizing activites (smoking, heavy drinking and drug use)\n\n3. Frequency of meals - the more meals the more the metabolic processes take place in your body and the faster your metabolism.\n\n4. Water Intake - dehydration is a major drag on metabolism.\nMost people are dehydrated and they dont know it.\n\n5. Sleep - getting enough rest allows the body to function at a higher metabolic level.\n\nFor more information check my source.   It tells you more information than you even knew about your metabolism.  It  also goes into greater detail about different ways to speed your metabolism.\n\nhttp://www.jtfit.com/metabolism/


Been married 9 yrs, but living together for 12yrs. 3 children - 2 are his biological kids.  I am currently attending school in order to be more financially independent-2yrs left in program, but my marriage isnt going to last that long.  What are my options? And what would I be entitled to under California Law.

Under California law it does not matter how long you have been together regarding child support. It depends on how much each of you make and who gets custody. If you are the primary care giver, your child support is going to be paid according to how much time your ex-spouse spends with the kids. Also unless he adopted the child that is not the spouses biological child he does not have to pay any thing for the one child. As far as alimony goes once again it depends on income but since you have been married for 9 years you will only get it for four and a half years. The calculations are different from county to county as are some of the laws.

I don't think Israel fullfilled the statehood criteria, especially they don't have people originated from the land as their population. Jewish in that state are an immigran from other state such as Germany.

Well, Israel doesn't meet many theoretical criteria for being a state:\n- no actual natives to the land\n- built on occupied land\n- not recognized by its neighbours or a relevant majority of the international community (yes the world powers acknowledge Israel but what about other countries?)\n- furthers borders through invasion\n- the declaration of idependence violates Palestine's mandate (at that time).

On my blog I  went out of my way not to say his name but said that I hope one day in a parking lot out side of work he would start a fight and that I would cripple him for life. \nHe complained to HR at the company that I had threatened him. I did this on my own time in my home. And they called me in for questioning\nWhen they called me in they didn’t even mention the issue about the threat. They said they had some informal questions about the training was taking. And asked me about my blog.  Never mentioning the issue of him feeling threatened until the meeting was almost over. In California this is so illegal its un real. I now live in Oklahoma… is it legal for them to do this?

In what way is the company harassing you?  They spoke to you in a meeting about an employee feeling threatened by comments that you made on your blog.\n\nFor information about what is protected speech and what is not, review the EFF page on blogger's rights.

How does the participation for weather affect your life?

In my opinion, weather is everything. People are creatures of leisure, we always strive to do something fun outdoors, and the only way we can do this is if the weather is good enough (sunny enough) to do so. Every-time someone looking forward to going on a trip, having a picnic, visiting friends and relatives, and to the simplest activity to do at home, mainly relies on a good sunny day to do it with. Weather affects us in so different ways that more accident happens when it is raining, cloudy days or prolonged overcast skies raise the feeling of depression, and in an adverse move to counteract depression, many individuals and couples tend to stay at home and do some simple chores, sleep more, or resort to some cozy romantic activities. Therefore, weather do play a big part on everybody's overall outlook into starting their day, and how it might end.\n~meow


whenever someone sends me a photo...it is replaced by a red "x"....how do i solve this problem

you need to change your settings in internet properties..change them all to default.


l have suffered from this disorder since my first early years of schooling in Australia [melbourne].\nl was assaulted by big tuff Australian school teachers for many years.\n\nat the age of 15 l had to leave because of all the abuse lwas and had experienced.\nso doctors gave out medication but never explained what was happening in my life even when l had tried killing my self.\n\nso l still suffer from o.c.d and it limits so much of my life.\n\ndo any one know what can be done.

Please find a qualified therapist/counselor and get professional guidance.  They can help you understand how you got to where you are and therefore, how to move forward to change it.  \n\nI would also like to suggest a book that may be very helpful to you called: "Count Your Blessings", by Dr. John Demartini.  It is published in the U.S. (available at Amazon.com), but it may also be available in your country because Dr. Demartini now resides there part-time.  It is a wonderful book and can help you balance your perceptions about what happened to you.  \n\nOften we only see the negatives and fail to understand that even in the worst of circumstances, there are always positives that help balance things.  When we do manage to see the balance, that can help us to move forward and overcome the negatives - even terrible negatives.\n\nBest wishes and good luck!


is it true that some ppl have the well to self distruct them selves.. i mean they always tend to choice with negative impacts on thier life.. and they are totally consious when they do that.. and alos they feel bad and blame themselves to thier choices after -while they relize they were able to choice the other choice- they always want to change thier situation but they repeat the mistakes again and again.. addiction to chaos.. what do you think? and how do you deal?

Well, there are certainly people who make bad decisions. Good judgement seems pretty hard to come by these days.\n\nSome people may make bad decisions consciously - that is choose to make bad decisions. Other people might not even realize what they are doing to make bad decisions.\n\nThere are a lot of people who don't have very good judgement. If you've ever heard of fetal alcohol syndrome, that's an example of someone who may not have good judgement.\n\nYou deal with it by trying to recognize your own weaknesses in making good judgements. If the problem is with someone around you (not yourself) you try to be patient, love them, and help them to grow. It does not work to say "You are making a bad decision." But it can help to say, do you recognize that you make the same mistake repeatedly? What do you think you can do to make a different decision next time so you don't make the same mistake again?"\n\nGood luck.

I hear so many, but I like the whole stlye of it with the dark hair and clothes.\n\nIt just fascinates me, I dont think I could pull it off with the short blond hair.

My friends are Goth (Japanese-inspired L0lita-goths), and imagine - Asian goths, how much more weird it would be for Asians to be goths? :D\n\nGoth culture includes the following: \n\n*unique music, art, and literature \n*black clothing, light makeup, and unusual hairstyles (I'm sure you've seen some of this, and you know the basics) \n*Fascination with medieval, Victorian and Edwardian history \n*Goths tend to be non-violent, pacifistic, passive, and tolerant. Many in the media have mistakenly associated Goth with extreme violence and hatred of minorities, white supremacy, etc. \n*Followers seem sullen and withdrawn, when in public; they are "happy and carefree in the company of [other] Goths." \n*"A lot of people turn to the Gothic subculture after having a hard time in school, feeling alienated, and looking for a way to express themselves that mirrors those feelings. Others find the scene through literature, still others want to be shocking, and some people just find black clothing slimming." 1 \n*Goth music often deals with thought-provoking topics, concentrating on societal evils, like racism, war, hatred of groups, etc. They tend to concentrate on the very "nasty, unhappy" topics that "North American culture" wants to "ignore and forget." \n*A fascination with death. They try "to find a different way of thinking about life, like trying to find beauty in life, pain and death. It's all a quest for immortality." 2 \n*Some Goths enjoy playing role playing games. However, RPGs are not an integral component of Goth culture. It is just that those intellectual and creative challenges that draw them to the Goth scene make them more likely to enjoy RPGs as well. \n\n\nGeez, that sounds like me. But I don't dress Goth. My parents would completely freak out! It's ok to have an inner goth though. ;)\n\nYou can start by wearing a wig. Or you can dye your hair temporarily to see how it's going to work.\n\nShort hair? No problem, throw on one of those frilly bonnets, wear the whole goth-dressing and fishnet hose with boots.\nDon't forget the pale make up (so cute!) and the deep dark eyes. It helps if you've got an obsession for vampires (many goths do! I love em', but not enough to go all goth because of vampires...however tempting ;P).\nAlso, accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! Spikes collars, spikes, piercings..!


Our 4 1/2 month old son passed away from SIDS 4 weeks ago.  DYFS (Division of Youth and Family Services) send my husband and I to my inlays house to live.  Reason being we are not to be alone with our 3 other children until the case has been closed.  We have not been charged with anything.  We get no answers from DYFS at all.  We ask questions and the answer is always Trenton said so.  What rights do we have?  What can we do?  Our children are the ones being punished here.

I'm terribly sorry for your loss.  Losing a child is difficult enough, and to have DYFS down your throats for it is unimaginable.  \n\nHowever, you have to understand why they're doing what they're doing.  When an infant dies for no obvious reason (that's basically what SIDS means), the state has to investigate.  I'm sure you didn't harm your baby, but if a parent were to, for example, smoother their infant with a pillow, it can be virtually indistingishable from SIDS.  So while it's unfair to parents whose child really did die of natural causes, I'm sure you can see that they want to be certain not to leave a parent who murdered their child alone with their other children.\n\nHere's the thing, the state can limit your contact with your children (as they've done to you), or even take them away entirely, without proving you've done anything wrong.  If that were the case you would be able to go before a family court judge and argue for the return of your children.  However, unlike in the criminal justice system where you are innocent until proven guilty, in family court you're guilty until proven innocent.  The parent (and his/her lawyer) has to prove he/she is a fit parent rather than the state proving they are not.  On the one hand it really sucks for people who are good parents and just have some bad luck, but on the other hand it allows the state to act quickly in real child abuse cases (under the criminal system it could take months or even years to remove children from an abusive home).\n\nYour best bet is to cooperate with their investigation as much as possible and do what you can to help it go quickly.  Also, you may what to hire an attorney to help you (although it would be cheaper to just wait it out a good lawyer might speed things up a bit).  Do be careful, though, not to get too defensive - you don't want to the social workers to start to think you're guilty (it will still all work out, but it might take longer).\n\nGood luck!


I need some info about the hora dance, common to romania.

Hora is a Romanian (hora-singular; hore-plural), Israeli, and Bulgarian (horo-singular; hora-plural) traditional circle dance which gathers all people present in a big closed circle. The dancers hold each other by hands and the circle turns on itself usually clockwise as each participant follows a sequence of taking three steps forward and one step back.The dance is usually accompanied by musical instruments such as the cymbalum, the accordion, the violin, the viola, the double bass, the saxophone, the trumpet or even the panflute.\n\nHora is popular during wedding celebrations, popular festivals, and it's an essential part of the social entertainment in rural areas. One of the most famous horas is the Hora Unirii.\n\n Hora is the name for the large circle dance and is the most widespread dance in Romania, partly because any number of participants of both men and women, of any ability or age, can join in. The term Hora is also used for the Sunday village dance, even where the Hora dance does not form part of the dance cycle. In southern Romania and Moldavia Hora is the introductory dance to the dance cycle, whereas in Transylvania and Maramureş it is rarely performed at the village Hora. Hora is frequently performed as a ritual dance at weddings and funerals.\n\nThe most common hold in Hora has the hands joined at shoulder height and held slightly forward. The formation is a closed circle, apart from in some parts of Banat and north Oltenia where it is danced in an open circle with a leader who can take the dance into a spiral. This formation, with a leader, is typical of the Horo from Bulgaria and Oro from Macedonia. These southern Balkan versions are typically a 6 beat (qqSS) 3 measure phrase, whereas in Romania the basic Hora is a 4 beat (qqS) 2 measure phrase. However, the Horo from north west Bulgaria and the Sitno from north Bulgaria, where there is a large Romanian Vlach minority, have a similar form to the Romanian Hora.\n\nThere are several basic variants of Hora, particularly evident in the south of Romania. The dances within these variants often have specific names other than Hora. Hora mare (large Hora) is the most common version and can be danced at moderate and lively tempos. This is sometimes referred to as Hora mare dreaptă meaning "straight" hora in the same way that the Bulgarian versions are know as Pravo horo or Pravoto. Mostly these dances progress to the right, often with a diagonal forward and back path. A slower version called Hora lente (slow Hora) in the south and Hora mare Bucovineasca in north Moldavia has musical rhythms between 5/8 and 6/8.


What do Germans do when they find someone drinking under the age? Jail,beatings ect.

The drinking age in Germany is 16, so I don't think much underage drinking goes one there.

high paid criminals, embezzlers, leeches (blood suckers), magots, parasites, prostitutes (who persecute and prosecute), robbers and thieves, etc.?\n\nJust wondering.

Typically they are using their best knowledge of how to use the law to defend a case that their client brings them.  If you are on the wrong side of that case it can suck.  If you are on the right side of the case you love that lawyer.  Especially if you've been screwed so many times without using one.


I guess it's the new "big thing" on the internet. I saw it and it was hilarious. \n\nhttp://www.rockpapersaddam.com/


He tells me a women place is in the kitchen, and cleaning the house. I'm a 90's lady, I don't beleave in that.

Then leave, its that simple.  If you are not happy and neither of you are going to change, you will never be happy with him.


my boyfriend told me that he is in "limbo" over us right now; that part of him wants to work at it for us to stay together & the other part dosent. what does that mean? how did he get that way? i care deeply for this man and i want things to resolve between us. (guys especially, could you give me the male-viewpoint on what he means, what hes thinking, & what could work?)

Ma'am....he means his still deciding about whether or not you two should be together.It's kinda like saying you two are on a break...He needs time to make this important decision. It's best if you don't do anything at this point and let him do his deicsion making peacefully. Any interference ad he will think you are trying to suck up on him and he will take this to measn that you are guilty. Just sit tight and wait, Ma'am. I hope your matter is resolved with no tears shed.


I found out I have a half-brother that's a couple years older than me. He lives in Texas, I'm in Kansas. If my dad let's me make contact with him, what should I say?, if not how can I find him on my own? he's known about me since he was little.

I have been in the same situation as you.  My father wouldn't give me any information so I asked other family members what they knew especially the last name and where he lived.  I contacted him and he was glad to finally meet me. Talking will be awkward at first like meeting any new person but take your time and a bond will be formed.  Good Luck


I just saw an episode where the couple won 100K but still was considered making a "bad deal".....i think this will hang over there head for a while...

I think that whether the couple wins a ton of money or loses it all it could potential ruin the relationship.  Too much money and they could start to argue about what to do with the money or they could potentially split.  Losing it all they could end up arguing about why you made such a bad deal.  Then again, they could live happily ever after.  One never knows.


I want to know how old is old and I want to know when do we start calling ourselves pld? I remember my Mom has been calling herself old ever since she was 30. so help me out.

I guess it depends on who you are.  I'm almost 37 and I'm not old yet.\n\nI think some people are old and used up when they are still young, and others keep on growing and discovering themselves no matter how old they get.  The artist Georgia O'Keeffe was still producing amazing paintings in her 80's and 90's.  She kept herself relevant and productive.  It could be argued that when she died at almost 100 years old, that she died young...

How come when i stand up for about 5 min, my feet start to get all itchy?

It means that your ateries and your veins are squeezed, and so they are slowed down by the pressure you are holding up in your legs. so then you feel a tingly feeling because your blood is now flowing and is easier for the blood to flow.

i am doing a biology lab for class and need some answers

Try posting this under home and garden. Isn't a portulaca a type of flower??? Don't quote me, I could be wrong!\n\nEdit - after receiving your email...\n\nSeriously, I don't know the answer! I was just trying to give you a better pointer to where you might find someone who does know! As I mentioned, don't quote me. I know some flowers are named potulacas, but that doesn't mean a portulaca aleracea is a flower! I was only trying to help! Sorry!


Well im sure this will anger someone..lol, but i hate those bumperstickers people have on their cars. Isnt that vanity, idolatry,pious behavior. Why cant people show by their actions. Here's a picture...what would Jesus put on his car..would he have one? Do you think he would have crosses and mary statues and bumper stickers saying God is my co pilot? Or lets think about how he lived simple, and clean, not with slogans and devices for telling everyone HEY IM GODS SON! LOVE ME TOO!

I am a Christian, however I find those types of displays lame, and probably going to make non-believers think we are losers.  Bumperstickers are pretty much lame.  Although I did see a Jesus fish once that actually had legs, and instead of saying "Jesus" below it, it said "Darwin".  Ok, that is even funny to me, why take these things serious?


like tom sayer used to have at the bottom of his garden? we never really had them in the uk. but i can see a use for them and a gap in the market "slaves r us" they could come in all different nationalities,,,if yer fussy?

i feel that when i go out no one want to look at me just a year ago i was 100lb less

not to be rude, but you got problems if you gained 100 lbs in a year. What's up with that? Go out have fun and be active do not worry about if people are or aren't looking at you, just be yourself and have fun.


I don't want to go to Disney world etc. I just want to see some sights and not pay a lot for it.

Go to Old Town off Highway 192.  It's free.  There are tons of shops to explore.  There's a carnival, although the rides aren't free.  On Friday and Saturday nights they have a car show and that's free.  It's a lot of fun.  Check it out.


Was it worth it? I tend to date men out of my financial class,(I am attracted to poor guys for some reason! LOL) and I think it is intimidating for them, if your a guy, would you find that to be true?

You should be able to have a good time with ANY person you are attracted to.  If a person does not have money, it shouldn't be a deciding factor for you, if you truly enjoy being with him.  Go for walks , the movies, rent a movie, etc..  Being with the person who makes you happy is more important than where you are with that person.\n\nMoney doesn't make you a better person, and not having it doesn't either.  Unfortunately, it does make the practical side of things easier.  But it won't make you happy.\n\nI've spent as much as $300, on a date that included a pretty fabulous dinner, but that was a date with my girlfriend at the time, and so, I wasn't buying a "roll in the hay".  But, I have spent as little as $25 on a date and had the same good time with her.  It was her I wanted to be with, and the things we did together were really irrelavent.


I am doing my thesis on crime in Cleveland by census block, but figure I should standardize the dataset.  I feel that standardizing it by population would be the best (i.e. a crime rate).  Any other insight, thanks in advance.

I help take care of my stepmothers children so my dad can work but the children are uncotrolable this i believe is the mothers fault because she was young and wasnt sure how to care for them she mostly acts on impulses and yells alot i try to help them as much as possible but i can only play a small part! I need to be having a normal teenage life not raising my fathers kids is it wrong to say that? so my question is should i help control them and how or at least make them behave for me OR tell my father strait ford that if i wanted to spend these years raising kid i know how to make them myself!

tell your father about this. Let the children do what they want. They will have a bored point which make them stop themselves to do such that things.


i have a linksys wireless router before i put it on my pc i could go into bear share and get on internet multiplayer games now it wont let me how do i get past this please help if its not fire wall then what is it thks bdf

It's not exactly a firewall, but your router is running something called network address translation. This means that the router has a real IP address on the Internet and your computer has a private address (often 192.168.1.x). Since your PC no longer has a valid address on the Internet, this effectively blocks Internet traffic from accessing your PC directly.\n\nThis is great because it blocks some viruses and other unwanted traffic, and it lets multiple computers use the same internet connection with one real address. However, it also may block some things you want - such as games and P2P file sharing. Don't worry, there is a solution. What you need to do is to configure port forwarding on the linksys router (assuming you haven't changed any settings, it can be accessed through your web browser at http://192.168.1.1 with the logon name "admin" and password "password").\n\nClick on "Advanced" and go to "Forwarding". This screen will show a table of External Port, Protocol, IP Address, and a checkbox to enable each one. You'll need to setup mappings for each software application.\n\nFor example, the mapping for bearshare should be as follows:\nName: Bearshare\nExt Port: 6346\nProtocol: Check both the boxes for TCP and UDP\nIP Address: The IP address of your computer (to get this, go to start, run, type "cmd" and click ok, and type in "ipconfig" on the command prompt)\nEnable: Check this box\n\nFor online games, check this page to find out which ports you need to open:\nhttp://www.gameconfig.co.uk/\n\nIf you have questions on any other application, the best way to find out what settings you need are to google for the name of the application and the word "ports". The help files also often have information about how to setup your router.

and what are your opinions on the matter?

It takes congress to officially declare war, but that doesn't seem to stop many presidents.  They send troops to an undeclared war whenever they feel like it.  My own feeling is that we should, as a government, stay out of foreign wars.  If individual American citizens feel strongly about a foreign war and want to go volunteer for service in a foreign army, they should have the right (assuming no war has been declared and they are on the other side).  But our own army should be purely defensive, and purely to defend our own country.  We have allies with whom we have made defense agreements, but I think that is ill-considered.  We should offer our allies material and technical help, and volunteers only.

i have to find the difrent cultures to which muslims belong to. and i need it today.

I imagine that you could find Muslims in just about every culture.  There are lots of countries where Muslims make up the majority, or a large minority.  Indonesia has the largest Muslim population.  There are distinct Muslim cultures in China, India, and in many African countries.\n\nSee this link:\n\nhttp://www.aneki.com/muslim.html\n\nThere are Sunni Muslims, which is the majority.  There are also Shi'ites who have a huge population in Iran.  The Kurds have a distinctive Islamic culture.\n\nI hope this helps at least a little!\n\n\nHere's another cool site, showing different Muslim cultures in Africa:\nhttp://www.islamonline.net/English/In_Depth/MuslimAfrica/index.shtml

I Wear size 8 in womens, and the Javelin shoes I need are All in mens sizes!!

As a general rule, converting men's to women's shoe sizes is fairly simple - you would subtract two sizes from your U.S. women's size to find the appropriate size in U.S. men's shoes.\n\nFor example, if you wear a size 8 in U.S. women's shoes - you would most likely take a size 6 in U.S. men's.


I think that workers should not work on Sundays and the only places that should be open are places of worship, hospitals, and pharmacies. Places like grocery stores, gasoline stations, and restaurants should no be opened on Sundays so that workers can spend time with family & friends and so that they can also spend time and worship.

I think that is a personal choice.  If you don't want to work on Sunday, than don't. I know some people don't feel as if they have a choice, but ultimately they do.


A whisper traces through the trees, a quaint and gentle tune.\nA melody, a symphony, of growing solitude.\nOn and on it creeps, silhouetted in the night.\nAnd as it breathes, and as it thrives, to you it gives a fright.\nYou whirl around and call, to anything about: "Who's there?"\nAnd thought you try, harder and harder, the area still seems bare.\nMist rolls beneath your legs, as you crouch down low.\nAnd in your panic, you fail to notice, the footsteps soft and slow.\nThey pace towards you, unseen, unheard.\nIs someone there?\nWait no, that's absurd.\nA gentle throb beats, wavering in the heart. \nAnd within an instant, you feel your mind, body and soul, swiftly breaking apart.\nThis things is taking over, whatever it may be.\nYou feel cold, numb, dull.\nHatred swirls inside you, stringed by jealousy.\nFor a moment, you are alone, trapped in darkness without a light.\nAnd yet, inch by inch you recover, though each step only slight.\n\nFor puprle. Can't post the rest. No room.

I know you are not seven but in YEAR SEVEN.  Big difference.\n\nGood job.\n\nin line six, you spell though with a "t" at the end changing it to thought.  But that may just be a typing error.\n\nI thought it was the color balck, though.


i am doing an english paper and i was just wondering what real peoples opinions were.

I think is good as long as professors learn to understand that overlodding students with too much homework can be a burden, they need to be more easy going, make assignments fun, and intersting, and dont give to many in order to look forward the student doing it.


All the time. That's ok we've been doing all of our lives. Its nothing wrong with that, your not alone.  :)


I have been seeing 333 for a long time...lately I have been seeing 222 and 444 along with it.  Everyonce in awhile I also see 1111.  I can see these numbers on the clock, in e-mails, on receipts and even on license plates.\n\nAny info is appreciated!!

The human eye is naturally attuned to seeing patterns in your environment -- in motion, in background, etc.  This was an important survival skill for our primitive ancestors who needed to be able to recognize a tiger hiding in the undergrowth before the tiger recognized them.\n\nNowadays we tend to separate out significant or otherwise interesting patterns from the background clutter, and because we take note of these more than the rest, we tend to think them significant.  Try an experiment and write down EVERY number you see for an entire day, and then figure out if there are any odd patterns.  This means EVERY time you look at the clock, every number you see on the television, every license plate, etc.\n\nChances are you'll see that you're actually viewing thousands of uninteresting numbers each day, but only taking note of the repeating ones.  On the other hand, if you are seeing more repeating patterns than by random chance, then yes, it could mean something very interesting indeed.\n\nOtherwise, it's just you  :)

Just discovered how to do Avatars today. They're kind of fun.

yeah i love the avatars.  well you can go to avatar.yahoo.com and download your avatar, yup.  it's at the home page of that website.  it will say something like "put your avatar on your blog!"  click that and on the top of the webpage it will say something like "download" and you'll be able to download your avatar there.  then you can print it out.  as for the origin of "avatar"...i do not know.  i looked up avatar on wikepedia.org and it showed some india dieties or gods or something.


In plain words, the Qur’an says that one of the righteous men of God’s servants saw the sun set in a certain place of the earth—in particular a well full of water and mud. There, this man found some people. Read what is recorded in the Qur’an (chapter "the Cave", verse 86),\n\n"When he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring and found a people thereabout. We said: ‘O Dhul-Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness"’ (Surah 18:86).\n\nLest I failed to understand what the Qur’an meant by these strange words, I referred to the famous students of the Qur’an as well as to the ancient scholars,scholars such as the Baydawi, Jalalan, and Zamakhshari confirm it. The Zamakhshari remarks in his book, "the Kash-shaf",

Quran states Dhul-Qarneyn saw sun setting in a muddy spring, meaning there was a large spring with unclear water where the sun was setting. \n\nDoesn't teachers teach that sun rises in east and sets in the west. Is it because the teachers do not know science or is it because that is how people on earth observe it ?\n\nScientific knowledge of early muslims may not be correct like many early people. but this verse has nothing unscientic but it is an expression to say sun rises and sun sets\n\nRegarding the second verse 36:38 you mentioned, we all know Sun along with the solar system is not stationary but they also moves along an orbit, when and where this orbiting stops God only knows. So resting place refers to final destination of Sun when World ends. Quran uses the word 'Swim' to refer to motion of sun and moon, indicating rotation and also revolution\n\nNow what about science in bible ? \nSee Joshua 10 : 12,13.\nhttp://cgi.godsview.com/cgi-bin/rcdenig/kjvread.pl?book=6&chapter=10\nIt is stated that Sun was stopped in the sky to prolong the day, so that enemies could be avenged. If bible is scientifically correct, isn't it the rotation of earth that has to be stopped to prolong the day ?


My son is very rational and determined on his own that there is no god. My belief has always been to let him discover his own mind. I have my own beliefs in a higherpower and I respect his choice. The problem is my southern baptist mother. She says I have corrupted him.\nShe is not speaking to me at the moment. I am at a loss what to do.

your mother is very irrational, letting your son chose his own path is just fine.  You didn't teach him to be an atheist, that was his own choice.  You hardly corrupted him, if this atheism thing is the only thing your mother believes went wrong.  She is blaming you for HIS actions, this should not be, because it is NOT your fault.  Tell her that no one can force religion on anyone, and more than likely he may have rejected christianity regardless. Most importantly, whatever your mom says, do not blame yourself, you have done nothing wrong... it is just her own distoreted perception.

I'm cautious of what I eat, work out 4 or 5 times a week, but the weight is not budging! I've lost 4 lbs. in 2 months! (I need to lose about 25 more pounds to be at a healthy weight for my height.) I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?

first of all u need to know u resting metabolic rate. u didnt mention putting on weight so i guess u r not eating more than u have to. After u find out how many calroies ur metabolism is u need to start counting the calories u eat so that u ll lose some more. make sure u know what u eat. eat lots of fruits, apples, grapes, they are all good for u. if u deprive ur body from healthy foods u ll never lose any weight coz ur metabolism ll keep decreasing.


my self together, but my kids father still love me and i am seeing someone else and he can't stand it he is cursing me, telling me he is going to punch me when he sees me, he going to kill my boyfriend, he is going to look for him and once for all he is and find out where i am living to kill him. i am fed up what should i do. i feel like killing my self at times because if i am dead there wouldn't be a problem.

well you know what hey say about that good sex girl anyway i think if he is a good enough father to take the kids and help you out like that with three kids and these men these days don't want to do it with one he sounds like he is a sable guy with his head on straight but it also sounds like he has anger management issue i think you need to be alone at least until you get your life right for your kids sake if the baby's dad loves you so much then he will understand that is not a good idea the kids will then have no parents no mother and no father b/c he will end up in jail


which has the best job prospect and what is each of them about?

What exactly do you want to know? And, how much education do you have, or are willing to pursue?\n\nI haven't heard back about what field you want to pursue, but I will share some information that you might find interesting.\n\nFirst, there are A LOT of different branches of electronics. Even in microelectronics, which is my field, there are analog microelectronics and digital microelectronics. My speciality is analog microelectronics. It's harder to learn analog microelectronics, but the pay is much better and the demand for these kind of engineers is high when compared to digital microelectronics.\n\nIt really boils down to how good you are in math, science, and physics. A BSEE takes four years of college. A MSEE, which I have, can take another three to four years after your BSEE. Don't pursue a Ph.D unless you plan to teach in college, or limit yourself to being hired by only the large corporations (HP, Intel, etc) or the government. It's very hard to find employment if you have a Ph.D.\n\nAlso, think carefully, or ahead actually, about where you would like to live. Being an engineer like me restricts where you can live. I'm saying this compared to a teacher, a doctor, or even an accountant.\n\nIf you don't want to spend four years in college, but still want to pursue something in electronics, you can get an associate's degree (2 years) from a local community college. However, after getting a job, see if you can get tution reimbursement and pursue your BSEE. You'll get a lot more money if you do and you'll be more marketable.

Is there a way you can physically measure the surface tension of water? Is there a way to test differences in surface tension if one has two liquids? \nFor example--what if I want to test surface tension of salt water vs. distilled water, or water at 35 degrees vs. water at 90 degrees

Grab a penny and a dropper. Cant think of whats its called but it is like a n eye dropper. You can use an eye dropper but you'll have to only use that one for ur expiriments will have to have the same conditions. Anyway insert the liquid of choice into the dropper and one at a time slowly begin to drop drops of the liqiud onto the center of the penny. Because of the water surface tension it will for a little dome over the penny. record your results for when the water surface tension breaks. switch between liqiuds. Go on from there. Hope it helps you out

It's pretty clear why spinning around makes you feel dizzy, but why does feeling dizzy make you throw up?

Dizziness is usually caused by intense stimulation of the vestibular apparatus (the saccules, utricles, and semicircular canals) in both middle ears.  This can be produced by rapid spinning in people who aren't trained to cope with it (i.e. people who are not dancers or figure skaters). Small children almost universally discover this phenomenon without having to be taught, and value it for a while as a harmless way to alter their state of consciousness (i.e. to get high), according to Dr. Andrew Weil.  It also happens with forward or up-and-down motion in some susceptible people (those subject to car-sickness or sea-sickness).  Signals from the vestibular organs travel by way of the vestibulocochlear nerve to the brain and produce the conscious sensation of dizziness.  These signals also stimulate the unconscious, automatic center in the medulla oblongata which causes vomiting.  Other centers in the medulla are associated with control of other critical functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.\n\nThe only hypothesis I've ever heard of relating dizziness and vomiting suggests that this developed early in the evolutionary process that would ultimately lead to humans.  When our evolutionary ancestors were stil primates living in trees, dizziness might have resulted from consumption of toxic fruits or leaves.  If some animals experiencinng this were able to throw up the offending material they would have been less likely to fall out of the tree.  An connection between dizziness and vomiting would therefore have had survival value and would eventually have become a permanent, automatic feature of the central nervous system in all descendent species, including humans, long after it ceased to have the same survival value it had originally.  This is not a very good hypothesis because it isn't really testable, but taken just as speculation it has a certain plausibility.


A container of water is placed on a scale and the scale reads 120g. Now a 20g piece of copper (specific gravity 8.9) is suspened from a thread and lowered into the water, not touching the bottom of the container. What will the scale now read?

This is too easy. Is this kindergarten homework? The copper rod can be anything, not just copper and be any size as long as it does not cause water to overflow the container. As long as the object is suspended, the water's weight does not change.

a burpee is where you squat down, kick back you legs, do a push-up, bring your legs back to squat position, and stand back up.  you do them as fast as you can, we did them in boot camp and i cant remember what they were called.

It is often known as a squat thrust, although I believe that a full squat thrust starts at standing position whereas as a burpee is often only the part where your hands are already on the floor.

If someone was arrested and charged with Disoderly Conduct but on their case report it says Charge Modifier(s) Domestic Abuse. Does this mean that this person was originally charged with domestic abuse but then it was lowered to a lesser charge?

Actually it could mean one of two things.  Either the person was originally charged with disorderly conduct and then the charge was changed to Domestic Abuse which is a more serious charge or it could mean that it was lowered to Disorderly Conduct.  The best thing to do would be to call the clerk at the Court and ask her what the final charge would be on this person.


I heard of a skunk ape sighting in the everglades two years ago. no i am not joking . I firmly believe in their existence. The ape ran across a pathway about a hundred yard behind a swamp buggy and was seen by several tourists and native guides. A deputy apperently had some fur that was found at the sight of that sighting and supposiply also pics. It looked kind of like a OrangUtan.

need brief background study on LAN and fibreoptic and how efficient it is to the LAN as compared to the other cimmunication media

Fiber optics is made of silica. it transmots data at a more faster speed compared to other communiation media and it's also more secured because you can't tap into the network illegally. a single fibre cable can replace a bunch of copper cables. Data in fiber travels at the speed of light. it has two types, the single and the multi mode.


I just find that I don't surf the web unless I'm looking for something specific. Is there a website for browsing time?

Depends on what you are into. If you like one thing in particular, you could try out different web rings; associations of sites dealing with the same thing. They'll usually have a link button to the particular web ring on the home page or links page.\n\nIf you are more into news, check out an aggregating sites, like Fark or Slashdot. These are community sites where people link to various news stories and can comment on them.\n\nIf your looking for just something to kill time, a variety of web-comics could fit the bill. Hosting sites like Comic Genesis, Keenspace and Blank Label Comics, or individual sites like Penny Arcade, PVP, and Sluggy Freelance, are just a few of the hundreds of well written and well drawn comics.


I have been laid off from my job (I was a paralegal) for three years. I have a BS in Law and Government, I have a paralegal certificate, as well as an OSHA Certificate. My background is volunteering with the NYPD as a volunteer, and interning for the District Attorney. Would working any job (including security for a major retail store) be considered my job field? I don't do any research work, nor anything related to my paralegal field. My question is, what do I do for work in the meantime until I find the job that is in my field?

Markets set values...so if the job is indeed worth less than it pays, there's no reason to take the job at all.\n\nIf you have any clue as to what kind of long-term occupation you would like to pursue, consider all the skills and qualities you will need to master in order to wok at a high level in that occupation. Then, if you can't find any jobs in that field, look for a job that will allow you to hone one or more of those skills/qualities.


o-well that's who i am don't like it s.a.d

I read about 5 or so of your answers andI am not sure,.  You are full of a sarcasm (so am I), but I have not seen anything too shocking yet.  Maybe I did not read enough.  Be yourself, have fun.  Maybe someone does not like you.  I like you. SO far.
