Calculate the equilibrium constant at 97°C for a reaction having ΔH = 17.39 kJ mol-1 and\nK298 = 1.6 x 10-4.

it is based on arrhenius equation\nK=A e ^ (-Ea/RT)\nA- frequency factor\nEa- activation energy (proportional to Delta H)\nR -Gas constant\nT -Temperature\nSince you dont know A- fequncy fator, yu need to do a lengthy calculation\n\nThe modified arrhenium equation will be ( by considering two situations T1, T2 there will be two rates k1, k2 but A-frequency factor is smae for one reaction so it's a constant..)\n\nEa= (R X T1 X T2 X Ln (k1/k2) ) / (T1-T2)\n\nEa= delta H = 17,390 J\nR = 8.314 J/K\nK1 = 1.6 X 10E-4\nK2= ?\nT1 = 298\nT2= 273+97= 370K\n  After substituing all these values, you will get K2= 6.27 E-4\nwhich is in agreement with theory (At high Temperatures, rate should be high..!)\n\nIs this info will help you?\nGood luck!


Just need the average time that it usually takes for something like this to heal.

I had a broken vessel a few years ago that took about 3 weeks to completely resolve.  I think you can expect it to last at least 2 weeks and probably up to a month.


If an actor makes $150,000 for a movie how much commission does he have to make his/her agent? What about for $750,000 or $23,000,000?

I think standar agent comission is about ten percent, although it could vary depending on the contract between actor and agent.


Who thinks the troops should pull out of Iraq because innocent people are dying for no reason. I know that U.S is strong military force but the muslims are killing hostages like my teacher.

Sadly, not for a while. The U.S. cannot leave Iraq in the state it is in. The Iraqi police force is not strong enough alone to take care of the many issue there now. Until there is a solid government in place, the Police force is strong enough to handle problems on their own and there is somewhat a bit peace we cannot leave.


My friend muthu, had recommended me this product. I am suffering from pseroisis for the past 15 years. My conditon is quite a bad one. He has strongly recommended this product to me. I want to know more about the product such as its side effects. Anyway i am on MTX for the past few years.

call and ask your pharmacist they can tell you ever thing


There was talk that the ban is still in effect in some parts of Paris.

It's not true. They just smell that way. ;-)


using international relations theories, please expand your arguments

1/  One man's right to excercise his right can be the cause of infringement on another's rights. \n\n2/  It is diffcult to enforce universal rights and police violations since each state is independent and has its own laws. Also, not all states would be willing to ratify a unversal law of human rights.


like when you take a shower, how come it all doesn't just come out then?

I have heard from some women who's periods DO stop in water. They are typically women who's flow is very light. I wouldn't rely on water as a form of protection though. Better to stick with a Tampax. Good luck!


My mom bought me a cross necklace for my Confirmation. I really don't like it, and it's not something I'd ever wear. She told me she had a gift receipt so we could take it back if I wanted a different one. I'd be happier with a different necklace, but I don't know how to tell her without feeling bad, or making her feel bad. I feel uncomfortable telling her that I don't like it, because she picked it out, and it was for a special occasion. I don't want to insult her, but she's going to ask eventually, if I never wear it. What should I do?

One day, if you never say a word, your mom will somehow know you didn't like the necklace. She will reflect on that for a long time, because she will wonder if she ALWAYS seemed unapprachable to you. I mean, if you are not able to tell your mom how much you love the thought of the necklace, but that you want to select a different syle, then who CAN you talk to honestly and openly in this world ? If someone raped you could you tell your mom ? I promise you, the thing that hurts a mother's feelings most is thinking that her daughter is not able to trust her and talk to her about everything in life. Trust your mom. Hug her and ask her to go with you for the exchange.Good luck.


"good guy" with whom u can have intelligent conversations ?

In really love "Bad Boy's," because they are men. I don't want to be with any sissy boys.


I overheard some kids talking the other day, and they were talking about their "left" and "right" testicles.  I don't understand this, because what category would the third testicle fit under?  Is it normal to have three testicles, or am I some kind of mutant freak?

As long as you have three nipples, it's just fine.


What are their beliefs in comparrison to Christians, and Catholics? I'm mostly looking to hear from Jahovas Witnesses themselves. Represent your religion, not in a sales pitch kind of way but a brief and thoroughly informative way.

To answer your question.I cannot be as brief as you probably are wanting.But if you are sincerly asking I will tell you what sets Jehovah's Witnesses apart as different from other religions-\n1.Jehovahs' Witnesses believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God.They hold to the Bible as thr standard for all their beliefs.\n2.They worship Jehovah as the only true God and freely speak to others about him and his loving purposes toward mankind.\n3.They believe,not that Jesus Christ is part of a Trinity, but that, as the Bible says, he is the Son of God,the first of God's creations;that his life was transferred from heaven to the womb of a virgin,Mary;that his perfect human\nlife laid down in sacrifice makes possible salvation to eternal life for those who exercise faith;that Christ is actively ruling as King,with God given authority over all the earth since 1914.\n4. They believe that God's Kingdom is the only hope for mankind;that it is a real government;that it will soon destroy the present wicked system of things,including all human governments, and that it will produce a new system in which righteousness will prevail.\n5.They believe that 144,000 spirit anointed Christians will share with Christ in his heavenly Kingdom,ruling as kings with him.They do not believe that heaven is the reward for everyone who is "good".\n6.They believe that God's original purpose for the earth will be fulfilled;that the earth will be completely populated by worshipers of Jehovah and these will be able to enjoy eternal life in human perfection;that even the dead will be raised to an opportunity to share in these blessings.\n7.They believe that the dead are conscious of absolutely nothing;that they are experienceing neither pain nor pleasure in some spirit realm;that they do not exist except in God's memory,so hope for their future life lies in a resurrection from the dead.\n8.They believe that we are living now,since 1914,in the last days of this wicked system of things.\n9.They earnestly endeavor to be no part of the world,as Jesus said would be true of his followers.They show genuine Christian love for their neighbors, but they do not share in the politics or the wars of any nation.They provide for the material needs of their families but shun the world's avid pursuit of material things and personal fame and its excessive indulgence in pleasure.\n10.They believe that it is important to apply the counsel of God's Word in everday life.Regardless of a person's past way of life,he may become one of Jehovah's Witnesses if he abandons practices condemned by God's Word and applies its godly counsel.But if anyone therafter makes a practice of adultery,fornication,homosexuality,drug abuse,drunkenness, lying or stealing, he will be disfellowshipped from the organization.\nI have listed some of the outstanding beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses.I however could not be thorough if I were any briefer.\nIf you seek further information,why don't you pop into your local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.They would be only too happy to answer any questions.They would even conduct a free home bible study with you,if you so desired.\n\nby the way fbgav is WAY OFF


Since New Jersey funds its schools through property taxes, one of only 3 states that do this (so I'm told), our property taxes are very high, and yet many of our schools do a pitiful job of educating our kids. How about your state - how are your schools financed, and are you happy with that system?

I'm from Wisconsin and all of our school districts are funded by property tax, i was under the impression that all states did this. I could be wrong though, by my economics teacher implied that it was that way.


I don't want to buy anything OTC at a pharmacy or be prescribed anything. Im looking for something homeopathic. Thanks.

Not im my books.  Best way to get your triglycerides down is to quit eating sweets, including candy bars, sugars, pop, well you get the idea...


How long can you leave your money in your paypal account? Do they do anything with it after a certain period of time? Just wondering. Thanks!

It will always be there, if you leave it for long periods of time, you can sign up to earn intrest on it like a bank, next time you log in look for the link on the main page of your account. You can also get a debit card to spend it and not worry about transferring it to the bank, I have one, love it


Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep my cool? I usually get really nervous and talk too quickly, or my hands shake and the paper I am holding shakes too which is really embarrasing. I am normally not a shy person but freak out during presentations.I've heard all the stupid stuff like imagine people in their underwear, but that is hardly realistic. I want advice that works.

If you've been in the class for any amount of time, you should know at least SOME of the people in it.  Therefore, I suggest a combination of two previous suggestions (plus a couple extras):\n1) rehearse with a small group of people that you know watching you.\n2) before the speech, don't drink too much coffee (increases the shaking and the sweaty palms)\n3) take note of where the people you know are seated, and move your eyes from one to the next for the length of your presentation.


I need a few events that happened during that time period and I need explaination why the people revolted in creating unions.

Check out info on the late 1800s and the railroads, including the Great Railroad Strike of 1877.  That's where it started.


I have a report due on this, I can't find it anywhere.  I know it has something to do with capital budgeting, so please, if you can, let me know what you know.  THANKS!!!!

You need to make a companies capital budget? well you have to start with a sales projection and work backwards. After you estimate how much you will produce, you will need to figure out how much it will cost to produce it and of course, you want to have a profit left over. Any managerial accounting text book will have a chapter outlining this in detail, head to the library!


two questions:\n*favourite album?\n*what are you listening to now? (on your ipod, cd player?)

Probably "(What's the story?) Morning Glory" is my favourite album of all time...\n\nI know... it's not so particular and original...\n\nbut i started to love music for this album! \n\n\n--------------------\n\nI was straight and acted like a fool\nYou were drunk and unbelievably cool\nYou won't find a friend who knows you like I do


I have windows ME and I just brought Windows XP Professional and I don't know if I should do Uninstall Windows ME or clean the hard drive any help out there please??

BEFORE you do anything check the compatibility of your components, sound card, video card, modem, then download the drivers for each and put on a CD. I know this the hard way when I updated my modem was not supported by XP i had dialup at the time, so I did not have internet til I bought a new modem, I had a creative modem which has more support than most, you may wind up buying more than you expect with this upgrade. that said have your drivers ready, and backup your data, Then format the drive do a clean install, The alternative would be to buy another HDD and set this one to slave, and your new one to master and install XP on the master, then you will have access to all your files


The mistake is on your calculation method.  There is no sh missing.\n\nYour withdrawals add up to 100 sh, which is the balance you had in the bank, originally.\n\nYou cannot add up balance after withdrawals to come up with your original balance.  It is only a running total.


What would you do regarding war and peace, rich people and poor people, the environment, and corporate crime, among other things?

Because I know what it is to work for minimum wage. I know what it is also to have no freedom. And I am someone who knows how to listen, be fair, moreover, I will not start wars unless I am ready to send in my own kids.


a waterpipe in a "coffeeshop" of amsterdam, would be a nice way to destroy your brain cells, damage you lungs and decrease the quality of your semen.


then blame themselves or the guys later when things go down the drain and all heck breaks loose? date the nice guys please. c'mon already.

Too much stereotyping here. Women don't ALWAYS go for the jerks. I sure as heck don't. if he is a jerk I will point him the other direction and make him leave. \n\nThere are men out there that are wolves in sheep's clothing(my ex for example) he treated me like a queen before we got married After we got married he became abusive. \n\nGuys are not going to be jerks when you first meet them. They are cunning. A lot of them start acting up once they know the girl is hooked to them. the girl is so involved with being "in love" with the guy that she cannot see that he is being a jerk and treating her badly. Of course the girl is going to blame herself sometimes because the guy has her convinced its her fault or it can also be low self esteem issues that cause this or the girl is so relieved she has a guy she just doesn't care and she is afraid that there is nobody out there better. \n\nThere are nice guys out there, they are very hard to come by and to say start dating nice guys is easier said than done. BELIEVE ME. You have to work very hard at it \n\nI know some ladies that are quite vicious as well and really it has been found that the women are worse than the men.


how hard do you have to bump it into something to get a dent. i don't mean to ask a "dumb" question, i want to know so i can avoid it as much as possible.

truthfully speaking, you may as well get used to the fact that your guitar will get some nicks in it.  alot of people actually throw dimes at theirs when they first get it to get it over with.\n\nlook at your guitar as a tool to help you enjoy your music, it will make the first ding alot easier on you.\n\nto answer your question, the body itself on a solid body electric is quite durable, it's the finish that will get marks on it.  take a look at John Mayers guitar, the finish is almost wore off, same with many players who get that one axe they love.\n\nenjoy it and don't worry too much about a ding.  ;)


i need to start somewhere as i am alredy begining uni to be a game designer, game testing would allow me to keep up to date with popular trends. if you have any info on where i could apply to become a tester please let me know. i only want info that is for official game testing, i don't want a site that gives you the odd game once in a blue moon among 1000'S of surveys. please help. also if you have any connections with the games biz let me know your email for futher communications. i am very dedicated to this line of work so please help.

I'm a former GM of an online game and a former Game tester. basically like any other job you apply for it. Sony Playstation, Sony Online, Midway games Blizzard has information on the Career section of thier respected website on how to apply for the  position. Most position are also posted on Monster.com, Gamejobs.com and yahoohotjobs.\nI duuno however whats the requirement if your are in another country some game testing countries may require you to have a degree\nIf your still a student you may still get the position. I think certain qualifications is that your over 18. I had workmates who were still going to school. \nSome game tester jobs are applied through certain recruitment and employment centers.\nBut REMEMBER not just because this is the funnest job in the world means you can act like a kid and goof off\nIve seen people released from being testers for being unruly and immature and unprofessional while at the game testing workplace. The managers even though they work in a Gaming industry take thier responsibilities seriously.


i m totally broken.. i donno how to handle this situation. i know its before marriage.. but the thot is killing me.. how can i comfort myself is the question.. i trust him lots.. but then dirty pictures keep coming in my mind everytime i close my eyes..

he's being honest with you, now you know he doesn't keep anything from you, that's a very comforting feeling . i know it sucks that he used to go to strip clubs in the past but he doesn't anymore. in relationships one of the best things is honesty and he's giving that to you...=o)


Just a little debate I'm having with a friend

Functionally we have four fingers and a thumb. The thumb can do something the fingers can't, namely oppose (cross the palm). If someone loses (or is born without) a thumb, this is much more functionally significant than losing a finger, and in fact there is special surgery done to give such kids a functioning 'thumb' (moving the index finger).\n\nStructurally - well, the bones are basically the same, although the thumb attaches differently (to the wrist bones instead of to the metacarpals). The muscles are different (again, allowing for opposition.)\n\nI vote for four fingers and a thumb, i.e. five digits. :)


In Albuquerque, in March 2006 was obtained a temperature of 2 billion degrees Kelvin (2,000,000,000 K), in a particle accelerator. How did they measure it up?

Since no material can survive at the sorts of temperatures you're talking about, you can't use a probe of any sort. Temperatures have to be measured indirectly by e.g. measuring radiation.\n\nI've used a device similar in principle to a thermal imaging camera to measure the temperature of molten metals - this works on the basis of the well understood science of "black body radiation", this would work well for a few thousand degrees\n\nI guess you could apply a similar technique to estimate the temperature of the sun's surface. You'd need to know how far away it is, and how much radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere, but other than those complications by simply measuring the sun's brightness, some simple physics would give you a working figure.\n\nI suspect that figures from a particle accelerator are derived from scientific models of what's going on in there, along with known measurements (e.g. overall energy input/ output, amount of matter present etc.) rather than direct measurements, although again it may be possible to measure radiant output from the "reaction"


(Actual physical evidence, either fossilized or living)

The genus is Homo, in the family Hominidae.  An example of another genus in the Hominidae is Australopithecus.\n\nAs far as how many species have been placed in the genus Homo, it depends on how much of a splitter or lumper you are.\n\nThere are some paleoanthropologists who would place every single fossil ever found in its own species.  Some of them would probably split each fossil into twenty or thirty species if they could figure out how to get a paper out of it.\n\nOthers will lump everything as a single species unless there's a compelling reason to define a new species.  Invertebrate palaeontologists usually need dozens if not hundreds of individual specimens before they can make a case for proposing a new species, let alone a new genus.  Those who study human palaeontology have a tendency to completely rework the entire family tree with each and every minimal find.\n\nThis is partially a consequence of working in a high profile field with lots of public interest and media opportunities with more academic scholars than there are actual fossils, but it does tend to create a bad image of wishy washery and flim flammery for the profession, and fosters an inaccurate view of how most palaeontology is actually done.\n\nPretty much everyone agrees there are at least three species of Homo:  \n\nHomo habilis lived in East Africa, and is associated with the first undisputed stone tools.\n\nHomo erectus moved out of Africa, and into Asia, getting as far as Java (aka Java man) and China (aka Peking man)\n\nHomo sapiens probably moved out of Africa again, actually reaching Europe.\n\nHomo sapiens neandertalensis was a specialized European subspecies with various adaptations for living in harsh ice age conditions.\n\nHomo sapiens sapiens is another subspecies that developed in southern Africa about 100,000 years ago and moved out of Africa again to take over all the areas previously inhabited by Homo erectus, killed off or interbred with previous Homo sapiens groups (including Homo sapiens neandertalensis) and even reached Australia, North America, South America, and even New Zealand and the South Pacific Islands.\n\nThere may have been another species Homo floriensis, a pygmy species that lived on perhaps a handful of southeast Asian islands.  This is the guy touted as the "Hobbit man" last year.  Unfortunately the fossils were smashed in transit (the scientist who proposed the "Hobbit" blames his fellow researcher, while the other researcher who thinks the fossils are just a standard midget human blames the first researcher) and the Indonesian government has refused further research permits.\n\nSo three definite species in the Genus Homo, several subspecies and at least one possible other species.


If evolution is made up, then what is it?\n\nIs it a conspiracy among otherwise-trustworthy scientists to see how many people will believe a lie? (If so, why?  And why haven't any scientists told us that it's a conspiracy?)\n\nOr is it just a coincidence that so many scientists happen to agree with the same idea?\n\nI've just always wondered how people saw evolution, if it's supposedly made up...

Let me begin by saying that I always enjoy reading your answers and very often you beat me to the punch with an explanation that is more coherent than I could likely come up with. Excellent work.\n\nI think that much of the issue here comes back to the basic divisiveness of faith. It makes sense for each religion to clearly define lines between "us" and "them." Jesus might have believed in peace and love, much like a modern day hippie, but the only real way to gather people around a common idea is to give them a common enemy. These days it's considered relatively poor taste to engage in crusades against Muslims, or chase Jews out of town for drinking the blood of the Christian born, so modern-day Christians have needed to unite against a new common enemy, evolutionists. Strangely, the only group of Christians now required to agree with us are the Catholics, based on JPII's statments that evolution is the most likely explanation for the current state of the world. Then again, many Protestants have issues with Catholics (and Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormons), but I think their favorite target du jour is the atheistic evolutionists.\n\nOne of the nice things about scapegoating is that you don't really have to define what is so terrible about the goats. Most of the time you can just point a finger and shriek. Pretty soon the rest of the mob will join in. As far as I know there has been no theory put forth by the creationist camp as to the "true" motives of evolutionists. Clearly most middle-of-the-road Christians (well, the ones who don't agree with us) feel that we've just studied the world and come to the wrong conclusions. However, many others likely feel that there is a nefarious agenda behind evolutionist ideas. Fortunately, they have a catch-all go-to-guy when it comes to nefarious agendas. Anything that isn't "godlike" is always attributed to this character. What's his name? Could it be...Satan?\n\nI'm sure that there are creationists out there who think that most evolutionists are on Satan's payroll and will be driving big gold Cadillacs around shortly after the Rapture. Sadly, no amount of reasoning on our part will get them to think any differently. In the meantime they will continue to see all of us as part of some cabal in Satan's service. It's strange to think that there was a time when only heavy-metal bands and role-playing-gamers were part of The Devil's army, now it seems that a degree in biochemistry is a standard recruitment tactic. \n\nWell, keep up the good work, and I'll see you at the meetings.


what are the risks of taking 3000mg dailyof niacine

The RDA for niacin is 14 mg for women and 16 mg for men. Specific disorders usually require higher doses. Megadoses can cause serious side effects, such as abdominal cramping, nausea, and vomiting; lightheadedness; ulcers; and skin rashes, flushing or itching. Liver damage is also a risk with long-term use of niacinamide and nicotinic acid. Inositol hexaniacinate in doses higher than 2,000 mg a day may have a blood-thinning effect.


Without wanting to sound really racist, i'm having an issue with Aboriginal rights.\nNow, dont get me wrong, my best friend is aboriginal, so i dont dislike them..\nIt just bothers me that we are expected to say sorry for hurting them so badly in the past, but they would never say sorry to us for their ancesstors murdering mine.\nAgain, dont get me wrong, the Europeans have done some really shocking things to them, but how can you tell me we arent making up for it.\nI lost my job 4 months ago, and i have basically starved on benefits that wouldnt even cover my rent, while other Aboriginal descent Australians get maximum benefit WHILE they work.\nIs anyone else noticing the racism against Australians?\nI saw an aboriginal footballer call a caucasion footballer a racist, derogatory term for a white person. He got away with it, but when the caucasion reacted and retaliated, he got fined and suspended.\nWhats going on?

Hooray! I think I have a fellow Aussie on line! Totally agree with you - love the culture, hate the 'lerks and perks' just because they are the 1st Australians. This is a very big question, not easily answered. The Govt. seems to think that Aboriginals need to get 'sorry payments' we were not there when the pommies slaughtered the aborigines. Why should we say 'sorry?' I'm sorry that my Govt makes extra 'sorry payments' when we who were born here suffer lack of basic items.


i know there are millions of people involve in extensive research to find a way to travel fast. But so far they  only able the break the speed sound. How about the speed of light? can they do it ? i want to see that spectacular before i get old and die. can it happen?

The first answerer is right about the mass increase.  As a mass approaches the speed of light, one of the effects is that the more energy you provide it in order to increase its velocity, the more the mass increases, according to Einstein's famous formula E=mc^2.\n\nThe speed of light is the absolute limit for velocity.  A mass can approach closer and closer to this speed, but can never surpass it.  So, to answer your question, mankind can and likely will build spaceships which can go significantly faster than the present-day ones can, but we will never be able to travel at the speed of light.


Seriously, I do think this whole thing over Barry Bonds is totally overblown, if they keep testing him and such and still can't find a thing on him, then they should just stop and let the man do his job by playing baseball for his team and for his fans.

Well i know i waited for him to come out of a pirates locker room for about an hour when he played for us. He finally came out and was pushing people away didnt sign a single thing when every other player at least signed 5-10 things. Over rated probably. steroids Probably . Asshole most definately.

I didn't and I personally DON'T think that it's a great idea.  No matter how long you've dated someone, I believe sex changes things.  That's just my opinion..tell me yours..

It's a nice theory but can have bad effects later. Like if your new hubby has been with other women and you never have you could feel inadequate. Then later jealous , then after a while you will want to have an affair to see if your really missing out on anything or so you can compare it to how your hubby pleases you. \nIf you both have waited til marriage the odds are better but still not great. I think it will lead to cheating if you save yourselves. Just my opinion though.


My age is 21yrs and i have high blood pressure problem,my medication is on but i want other ways to control it.

hi. allow me to share with you a couple of  highly effective yoga techniques which a am sure will do u a whole lot of good. \nthe exercices or "PRANAYAM" as they r widely known, not only cures respiratory illnesses but also takes care of exceessive weigt gain, eyesight and also heart ailments in many patients. people have understood the benefits within weeks of starting these exercises, and i beleive u will 2.\n\n1. sit with an erct posture on the ground. both legs crossed. this is the common position in all yogic asanas.  relax. and do this one slowly. inhale air deeply from left nostril while holding the other closed with the thumb of the right hand. after completing the inhalation close the left nostril with right mid finger and exale slowly from the right nostril. follow this with an  inhale from the right and exale from the left using fingers as mentioned. do this task for 10-15 mmins daily.\n\n2. take a deep breath and slowly expel the air with mouth closed. simultaneously make a humming sound from ur mouth. do this for 5-1o minutes everyday.\n\nnote. these exercises need to be done on an empty stomach. so it is important that u havent eaten anything 3-4 hrs prior to doing these exercise. hence early morning is the best time to perform yoga. 1/2 na hour will put u enroute to a life of healthy living


I have the problem.. Hope anyone will give the answer or suggestion..tq\n\nSurah alhijr..\n[16] it is we who have set out the zodiacal signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders\n[17] and (moreover) we have guarded them from every evil spirit accursed \n[18] but any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a flaming fire, bright (to see)\n\nThe 'flaming fire' is described by mufasseer as a star or meteor. However, scientifically, star or meteors, would have certain orbits. But an angel shooting the shaitan would imply 'a flaming fire' out of the blue. How do you explain this phenomenon..?

The earth is continuously bombarded by small cosmic dust particles, ranging in sizes. The bigger onces millimeter size and bigger burn up in the atmosphere of the earth leaving visible traces that may last seconds or longer.


Include different distances (e.g. within city, state, other part of the country, other countries).

It can actually take much longer...it all depends on the route it takes and the reliability of the computers (hops) on that route.  If for example it needs to take a route that includes hops in Brazil for example and as it hits a server in brazil, there is an power outage, it is possible that the email will remain on that hop until a time when power is restored and the route can be finished.  Now in theory routes are self fixing, so if something happens another route is instantly determined and taken, however if something happens where the traffic (email or information be sent/receieved) can not be back tracked it will remain in limbo or be lost.  An example of this is if hits on the 4th or 5th leg of a sprintnetwork.net system and the entire sprintnetwork.net service is interrupted...the information can not go back to the prior hops as they are no longer available, and thus would be lost or delayed.  Most Mail servers require a response from the destination server before accepting the send, however not all do.  If your experiencing a delay in email this may be the case.  I have personally had email both that I've sent and received that have been delayed upto 3 monthes.


I am maintaining my abstinence until I get married, saving myself for my true love...do any guys actually look for this, a meaningful relationship w/o sex?  I'm just hoping someone out there wants a girl w/values...

I value that... and I'm single... are you?


If someone were to file a lawsuit against you, could you be required to be in court without ever having been served and with no knowledge of the suit against you?

You're supposed to be legally served. However, in some jurisdictions, public notices in a local newspaper are considered a proper way of serving someone who cannot be reached otherwise. After posting the notice the prescribed number of times, the other party can present their case and the judge can judge in their favor. This most often happens in family cases (adoption or divorce).


Everytime i see a beautiful woman I have the urge for sex. My pants will always win over my brain.


I need the % marketshare for several corporations for a school report

Usually in trade magazines covering the products the company makes, i.e. EE Times.


FOR THE RECORD: I am not racist so do not answer this and refer to me as one.    I cant understand why the mexican community here in California at least will skip school, or a day from work, to go hang up a mexican flag over a freeway due to all the controversy about closing the borders!?  Or on May 5th (cinco de mayo) how they will drive around with Mexican flags waving off of their cars but wont put out an American flag on the 4th of July.  In my book, if you live here your American, and if you live here but wont represent it proudly and honorably, why did you come?  If Mexico is as great as Mexican Americans make it out to be, why dont they go home to it?  ONCE AGAIN, IM NOT RACIST! just curious.

Most of those are illegaly in America.. in other words.. they may live here.. but are not americans. \n\nI am mexican american by the way. I say shame on those mexicans who don't support the contry, yet get bent out of shape when we want them out of the contry. \nThey can come back.. but do it legaly.

sour cream works in bleaching skin a little bit. I would say bleach but PLEASE don't put bleach on the face of 6 year old kid. I never had a problem with making my skin ligh after getting tan.


im babysitting 3 and 5 yr old boys what are some fun games for them to play and keep busy or what can they do to keep busy i dont have any toys here and i never can think of anything fun for them to do so any ideas?help please thanks

Well, number one, don't watch T.V.! That is a bad thing to do when you babysit them. It makes them think it is okay to be a couch potato and then you become lazy, as well. Make your money worth it. Do something fun and creative with them. \nIf they have board games at their house try some easy ones. Like chutes and laders or something of the sort. \nOr make up a story. You start with something like "once upon a time there was a boy named.." then they have to finish the story and you take turns. \nMake up games that teach them life-long leasons! \nHope I gave you some idea starters. \nWishing you well (because I totaly understand what you are going through!) \n-PolarGirl8\nP.S. I am babysitting some boys tomorrow, and they are 3 and 5 as well! Ha,ha.\nP.P. S. If it is nice outside try playing a game similar to "duck duck goose" except it is called "drip drip drop". You use was bucket of water and drop water on their head and then drop the whole bucket of water on them. It is very fun!


I've never in my life seen a "pastor" act so disgusting.

Just because you are a "pastor" (and mind you, the Episcopal church will accept anyone these days--despite lack of adherance to the fundamental teaching of the Bible) doesn't make you saved in the end. The tree is known by its fruit, and God shall judge accordingly. Yes, he has the freedom to speak, and by his words we can see his agenda--it is very clear.\n\nSo which is better? To be politically correct or biblically correct? It seems that Pastor H. Reed has chosen the way of the world--and we know its destiny.


Pretty much anytime I read someone's answer that is just a bunch mudslinging bullsh*t, why am I not surprised that it is coming from a liberal's keyboard?  I would give some users as examples, but that would not be polite.  (Afterall, I am a conservative.)

Giving the definition of liberal, by no means, proves anything about what they actually are or believe.  I can call myself Superwoman, but that doesn't mean I can fly.  It just means I think you're stupid enough to believe it.


I currently have Norton Internet Security for firewall and AV and AdAware for adware scanning. It has the advantage of an adblocker (blocks page ads so I never see them) and some parental controls with password protection.\n\nI have heard that McCaffee is good too and AVG is free. For firewall, many people use ZoneAlarm. What are people's favs? Efficient and easy are more important than free, but they can't be $100 either. Thanks!

Lets keep it free!\n\nAVG Personal Edition\nZone Alarm  (not PRO Version)\nWindows Defender\n\n\nyou will get by just fine w/ these apps.


I want to put $250 into my already existing savings account and have it set aside for a specific purpose. I don't really want to start a separate savings account just for this money.\n\nHow can I enter it into Quicken in my savings account and have Quicken show that the money is not available for general needs?

Saving goals are features of Quicken Deluxe, Premier, and Premier Home & Business only.  \n\nHowever, you can setup an expense category for your goal and track it there.  Everytime you save for the goal, enter a transaction and select the goal.  You'll be able to generate income/expenses report to view the progress.


I really need some ideas for my party. I'm turning 12, and I'm going to have my first boy- girl party. I really want it to last forever in my memory, so please help me to make it very special. If possible, will you please write a schdule of what we should do and where we should do. The party has to be longer or 3 hrs.

you shoud go to six flags theme park and have lots of fun i hope your party goes very well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Should I probably log off and duck for cover? or ride the storm out by giving a play by play on YA? \n\n"And black cloud is coming around the bend followed by huge hail; it's huge hail bringing up the tail end of the storm follwed by northwest winds. Now its northwest winds, huge hail with black cloud on the outside. now its black cloud, northwest winds and huge hail. and its' HUGE HAIL by a nose!"

I'd go duck and cover.  But that's the safety side - now, really, what I'd do is go check it out (like a stupid idiot, anyway) and marvel at the forces of nature really whippin' things about and perhaps seeing funnel clouds, hailstones the size of buckets, and witches on brooms....  and trying to click my heels together before the whole house goes up into the haelstrom - or at least hopin' I can get inside my friggin' house before anything REALLY happens......


My school district is attempting to get rid of them and we are pretty sure it's illegal to get rid of so i was wondering if anybody knew the law.

Why, yes.  Here are the rules: http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/022/chapter16/chap16toc.html


My 5-year just passed, and I'm sort of regretting not going. I have a few friends who did show up, and they all said it was lots of fun.\n\nI guess maybe I can attend the 10 year. Although, at that point, everyone will be successful have husbands and babies, and I'll still be a student! I'm getting my PhD, but still, that's totally depressing.

I went to my 20th reunion.  Wouldn't have missed it and won't bother doing it again.\n\nI am one of those who was a "late bloomer".  I walked into my reunion with my husband and the "popular" group had no idea who I was.  Mind you our graduating class was only about 100 students (if that) so we all knew everyone in our class.  I was thin and young looking.  They were old and fat!  I loved every minute of it!


I have an AMD Sempron processor 1.5 ghz. I wiped my hard drive and now for some reason the PC reads the processor as an Athlon 900mhz. Why would this happen and how to I fix this

Maybe some problem in BIOS settings.\nOr maybe your mother board is not working properly. It happened to me once. I had to change mine. Get it checked.


i reAD IN THIS BOOK THAT WAS ALBOUT PLUTO THAT IT WAS THE DARK PLANET

Pluto.\n\nPluto\nTiny Pluto is the last planet in our family. The dark, cold planet's average distance from the Sun is a little over 3.5 billion (3,500,000,000) miles. If you tried to step off this distance, you would be over two miles away from your Sun when you reached the location of Pluto. If you got on a jet and flew at 600 miles per hour from the Sun to Pluto, it would take 675 years. If you could drive the same distance, it would take over 5,700 years.


I am wondering how do reality shows keep contestants from "gossiping" to friends, family, etc. about the outcome of the show.\nYou know, when the thing airs they are long back at their homes.\n\nIn addition, for example, we all know Survivor contestants have to spend about 6 weeks on the island.  I would know, if I have a neighbor who is a contestant, that he/she has been eliminated if they come say, two weeks after they left.\n\nAny insights on this?

Most contestants must sign disclosure forms whhich prohibit them from speaking to anyone about the show at the time of taping.  If contestants violate these agreements they can be held liable and sued for a breech of contract.


This is a mix of Hindu religion & anything else you can think of.\nIt is always advisable to obtain a mantra from a Self-Realized Master (Sat-Guru). Until then we may use one of the mantras of our beloved deity like "Om Namah Shivaya", "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya", "Om Namo Narayanaya", "Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare, Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare", "Hari Om", "Om Parashaktyai Namaha", "Om Shivashaktyaikya Rupinyai Namaha" or even the names of Christ, Allah or Buddha. Deciding to chant the mantra a certain number of times daily will help foster the japa habit. We should always keep a rosary (mala) with us for doing japa. A rosary can be made of 108, 54, 27, or 18 beads of rudraksha, tulasi, crystals, sandal, gems, etc., with one Guru (main) bead. We should resolve to chant a certain number of rosaries daily. Children, we should always chant the mantra in our minds while walking, traveling or working. \n\nDirectly contrary to Christianity. \nJoh 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. \nProbably drag in a lot of people because it seems to accept everything.


So, anyone out there having a special Secretary's Day?\n\nI know, it's supposed to be something like professional assistant, but whatever, I'm not into the P.C. thing.

i work in an office full of administrative professionals and we LOVE this day....everyone brings us gifts and the owners of the company give us rather large gift cards to do a little retail therapy....it's a great day


Ok we have established what a "brick and mortar store" is, but can this be in your home? Can you have a room devoted to products, like a store room? Is that legal? To give people the option and if it succeeds move it to an actual store? I want to open a home business and do some sales online. Any help or ideas?

Yes, I operated a phone operation out of a persons home for two years.  You have to make sure the room you use is for business only.  You take the square footage of the room you are using for business only and divide that into total sqaure footage of your entire home and that is the percentage you can write off for business expenses.  Be sure to keep all records of rent, electricity, gas etc.  There is a separte form to fill out from the IRS for this and you will have to fill out the full blown 1040 to include this deduction.  If you start to make decent money at this, be sure to incorporate at some time. File with the IRS as a subchapter S corporation and pay yourself a small salary, otherwise under a Schedule C the entire amount you make is subject to 15.2% social security tax. Yuck.  Good Luck.  I had a friend who started in his home and now he has a storefront and does about a million in sales every year.


i'm not obese but im too lazy to lose any weight. should I turn anerexic and play it off as fasting in the name of allah?

i don't think of myself as "obese" but according to the Centers for Disease Control's own BMI calculator, I am a porky!\n\nSee my 360 Yahoo blog to check your Body Mass Indicator.\n\nGo to the CDC bog, its very recent. You will see some red lettering. Clink on it to measure you fatness.

how many nations hunt mammals including seals , whales , marsupials, and other warm blooded beings

Depends on what species of seal you are talking about. Generally speaking, mankind has killed the ocean by means of pollution and fishing, and every mammal species living in the ocean is endangered.


Many farming towns are dying and there are many counties in America's heartland that are actually losing population.  Do you think that an increase in the use of ethanol could spur the economies of heartland towns as we effectively send our oil money to the Midwest instead of the Mideast?

http://www.prospect.org/web/page.ww?section=root&name=ViewPrint&articleId=11322\n\nEthanol could be a huge boost to small farmers and the rural economy. But unless we are vigilant, the big winners could be the usual suspects.\n\nWhen president bush suddenly embraced wood chips and biofuels on national television, renewable energy producers received a prime-time injection of hope. Ethanol backers forecast a boon for farmers and the environment. Yet serious questions remain about whether ethanol merely enables our addiction to an unsustainable auto-centered society -- unless it’s part of a broader shift in consumption and production. \n\nEqually critical is the matter of what a carbohydrate economy means for America’s two million farmers (by no means a monolithic lot), and for the future of sustainable agriculture. Will biofuels benefit smaller growers, or just large-scale producers and agribusiness? How will pressures for increased production and reduced energy prices effect farmers? Would small and mid-sized growers fare any better in the energy economy than they have in a rapidly consolidating food economy that has driven so many off the land and into poverty? \n\nThe stakes are significant: Protecting smaller-scale, diversified farms is intrinsic to ecological stewardship and rural economic health, sustainable farming advocates (and some biofuels proponents) argue. A major biofuels expansion could spur yet more large-scale industrial agriculture, which often relies heavily on petroleum-based fertilizers and pesticides and deploys fuel-guzzling farm machinery. Pressures for large-volume production and cheap energy might ultimately harm smaller farmers and the environment -- unless there are explicit policies to protect both.


Ya now i got your attention. I"m not serious though. You don't suck. I don't even know you. But i'm just proving a point. People are more likely to answer a stupid question like this one, then a serious one. Why is that???

The points are stupid things, they only allow you to ask questions.\n\nI'm stongly agree with you, the people here ask so much stupid things like:\n\nWhen is my birthday?\n\nWhat's my name?\n\nHow are you?\n\nHow old am I?\n\nThese stupid questions make me angry, I mean come on people ask good things, not so stupid things!\n\nAnd the points I don't care about it the points is only a stupid competition.\n\nI'm very agree with you.


Administrator of a token ring with NICs running at 4 Mbps, the new ones run at 16Mbps, what would you do to ensure that the network will function smoothly.

You change to ethernet.  No really, you change to ethernet.\n\nYour 16Mbps token ring cards will not run any faster than the 4Mbps cards that are sharing the tokens on the network.  But to insure network reliability, speed, etc, you migrate to ethernet.


Did they just keep borrowing until they were so deep in debt they could no longer service the debt?  I'm trying to learn about the consequences to an economy (specifically California) of ever increasing borrowing.

We follow a neoliberal economy opening our market in such stupid way that most of our industries collapsed.\n\nWe imported lots of cheap stuff from other countries and exported just raw materials\n\nAlso we borrow a lot of money and people form IMF and world bank tried to influence our economy in order to pay them but generating a lot of unemployment.\nWe had a lot of corruption.\n\nWe maintained an unreal value of our money and sustain that 1 peso was equal to 1 dollar.\n\nAnd investor began to take their money away so the whole bank system collapsed. So the government devalued the value of the Argentine peso to 1 peso = 3 dollars

I fail to understand why pple talk bad when you play your own system in your appartment however loud it may be, and more so that at times removes stress of may be the hard work one migtht have undregone through the day or so.

I wish my loud-music-playing neighbor were reading this so he could understand why it's so darn annoying.\n\nIt doesn't matter how stressful your day was. Turning up your music loudly to relieve YOUR stress is selfish and inconsiderate. Doing that is like saying it doesn't matter how it affects anyone else as long as YOU feel better. You should either use earphones or find something else that helps you relieve stress.


But if a man was to say 'I'm just going for a slash' every woman in the rooms face drops and they are utterly appalled. \n\nSo why is having 'a wee' acceptable? It is far more graphic information than we men need to know.\n\nAnyone?

lol, I'm not sure what you mean. It doesn't bother me.


One sincerely hopes that a war between Iran and the US never breaks out. But judging from the way things are turning out, war is a very real possibility. If war does break out:-\nThere will be heavy casualties on both sides. However, Iran will have to eventually concede defeat, or be wiped off. Though Iran has a large military force, it is largely antiquated and their might is still nowhere compared to what the US and its allies can bring to bear. All Iran's confident rhetoric and talk is only for public consumption and is actually to pep up their own troops and countrymen. Though it may have acquired weapons and delivery systems through its clandestine programme, their true capabilities are still suspect. Remember, both Saddam and the Taliban also behaved with similar over-confidence and arrogance before the conflicts began and in the initial stages.\nAlso, the US will not be alone. They will have allies as most of the developed nations consider Iran a rogue state, and will either back the US or at least tow their line. While many think the entire Moslem/Arab world will unite behind Iran, I feel that may not happen. Remember Iran is not an Arab nation. Deep down, there are significant differences simmering between the Sunni Arab states and largely Shiite Iran. While there will be rumblings of opposition to US action, I doubt any Arab state will cast their lot with Iran when it comes to taking up arms and actually fighting. Some independent militia groups might though.... Also, commercial considerations carry weight and siding with the US or being mute spectators is best for the Arab world in the long run. For the US, the key is to keep Israel out of the conflict. Iran will surely strike at Israel and if Israel retaliates, then Arab nations may offer support to Iran. Therefore, Israel should be kept out of action and protected from an Iranian strike at all costs. \nOne thing is certain, a war like this could escalate into a global one and any war there will alter the geo-strategic and economic balances in the region.


I have this reacurring dream and im in a fun house and I can't seem to get out when I finally make it to the top and slide down this slide as soon as I get to the bottm I wake up. Help Im not quite sure what this may mean. Any ideas?

Recurring dreams keep recurring until you figure out why you or having them. There's got to be some significant reason why you are dreaming about this. Think long and hard, remember as many details as you can and write them down. Even if they seem insignificant. Maybe you feel like you are in a fun house, like no one takes you seriously, or you, your life is like a roller coaster right now, the ups and downs are presenting themselves. My dream book says-Seeing a slide: the pleasure you are pursuing is a waste of time. The dream is also a warning: don't get involved in "slippery" adventures, you could end up "going down the chute." Well, there's my perspective. I've been studying about dreams for years.

After reading the bible I think Christianity is also a dark religion, what do you think?\n\nhttp://www.swagga.com/voodoo.htm

i was going to say that voodoo developed from christianity, but fortunately i checked some sources first.  despite what i had believed, it does predate christianity.  thanks for teaching me something today...\n\nas for the rest of your question, i think that christianity considers all other religions, whether they are older or younger, to be "dark" (as in false and evil) religions.  \n\npersonally, i think that any religion which worships a god who commits the acts God does in the old testament, sentences people to eternal suffering because of their beliefs, allows so much pain in the world despite being all-powerful, and bribes people with the idea of heaven rather than doing good for its own sake is a "dark" religion.\n\nunlearn34: there is NOT a story of a great flood in all cultures.  it is true that many cultures have stories of major disasters in the past, but not all claim it was a flood.  its mostly mesopotamian cultures which have a story of a great flood.  likewise, it is mostly mesopotamian cultures which have religions so similar to christianity, as would be expected since ideas in close proximity to each other tend to share characteristics.  away from that region, however, there a religions which are nothing at all like judeo/christian beliefs. \n\ni think that the ubiquity of disaster stories probably partially comes from real events in the past which were passed down orally, and took on mythic proportions, and partially from a human love for stories of destruction, rebirth, and sharp dividing lines of eras.  also when you consider that there are relatively few avenues for a cataclysm to take - fire, earth, water, air, etc, it would be unlikely for cultures not to have roughly similar stories of past cataclysms.

1)A small experimental rocket which has a mass of 70kg is accelerated at a rate of 6 m/s^2. What total force is required in newton, is (a) the rocket moving horizontally and without friction and (b) the rocket is moving vertically upward and without friction at a location where local gravity is 9.45m/s^2. Explain your solution

well ok. for part a, the acceleration is in the horizontal direction, because its moving horizontally. so the force is just mass x acceleration which is 70*6=420N. but thatz only in the horizontal direction.\n\nfor part b, you have to account for gravity. so gravity is pulling down at 9.45m/s^2, but youre accelerating upwards at 6m/s^2. so that means that youre overcoming the gravity and accelerating at 6m/s^2 MORE than the gravitational acceleration.\nso 9.45+6 = 15.45. this is your actual acceleration.\nso now you just do F=ma again and you get 70*15.45=1081.5N. \n\nhope this helps. let me know if you need more help. and this isnt thermodynamics.


is pranayam safe for a 6 month to 9 month pregnent lady?

try stretching and straining to cause a fart,once you have farted cup it in your hand and smell of it.


It is not an applience for cooking things.

A Dutch Oven is when you Fart in bed while sharing that same bed with a partner.  Before the gas has dissipated you pull the sheets over your partners head and trap him or her there forcing them to inhale the methane filled vapors of the inside of your anuss.  Warning do not try this if you are looking to get action tha same day as this may ruin your chances.


He is really hot but im sorta shy only round him but actually im not shy cuz i like to have fun and be around people who are funny please help me i really want to go out with him

Just talk to him. Don't be scared. I, for one, would be very excited if a girl were to approach me and talk to me. I doubt he's ignoring you, he probably just never noticed you. If he's not interested in you, it won't be the end of the world. I've been rejected by girls before, and I'm still around and feeling good. If he will be interested in you, you'll be glad you approached him, and chances are that he'd be astonished to learn 1): that you like him so much, and 2): that you thought he doesn't even know you.

It isn't actually the IRS giving your information away... it is allowing your Tax Advisor to sell your information. Most smaller companies, I would assume, won't do it because they would lose more money from clients than would make from selling the information. But it could profit large companies (Jackson-Hewitt and HR Block) because they have a huge client base with a lot of name that can be sold and wouldn't have much problem replacing lost clients as they have a very large demographic. However companies like the one I work for wouldn't dream of it... The money that we would make wouldn't even come close to the money we would lose from irate clients.

i need information on the albanian culture

THAT IS A WIDE TOPIC:-)\nCULTURE MEANS MANY THINGS..... I'VE GIVING SOME LINKS BELOW TO INFORMATION ABOUT THE HISTORY....THE LITERATURE...\nTHE ART ...THE LANGUAGE...FAMOUS ....PEOPLE AND MORE....\n\nBUT I THINK THE NAME OF A COUNTRY IS IMPORTANT....IT SHOWS THE CARACTER OF THE PEOPLE....\n\nSO HERE THE FOLK TAIL OF HOW ALBANIA GOT IT'S NAME..\nWHY IT IS CALLED THE LAND OF THE EAGLE..  Shqipëria :-)  \n\n\nA youth was hunting in the mountains. An eagle flying above him alighted on top of a crag. The eagle was especially large and had a snake in its beak. After a while, the eagle flew away from the crag where it had its nest. The youth then climbed to the top of the crag where he saw, in the nest, an eaglet playing with the dead snake. But the snake wasn't really dead! Suddenly it stirred, revealed its fangs and was ready to pierce the eaglet with its deadly venom. The youth quickly took out his bow and arrow and killed the snake. Then he took the eaglet and started for his home. Suddenly the youth heard above him the loud whir of the great eagle's wings.\n\n"Why do you kidnap my child?" cried the eagle.\n\n"The child is mine because I saved it from the snake which you didn't kill," answered the youth.\n\n"Give me back my child, and I will give you as a reward the sharpness of my eyes and the powerful strength of my wings. You will become invincible, and you will be called by my name!"\n\nThus the youth handed over the eaglet. After the eaglet grew, it would always fly above the head of the youth, now a grown man, who with his bow and arrows killed many wild beasts of the forest, and with his sword slew many enemies of the land. During all of these feats, the eagle faithfully watched over and guided him.\n\nAmazed by the valiant hunter's deeds, the people of the land elected him king and called him Shqipëtar, which is to say Son of the Eagle (shqipe or shqiponjë is Albanian for eagle) and his kingdom became known as "Shqipëria" or Land of the Eagles.


recently our dog had bit a person that lives next door.the mother went to a city hall meeting and complained.my dog was legal...shots and liscense.A reporter from the local paper paid her a visit.Can the paper use my name ect.

Absolutely - otherwise there wouldn't be any bad news in the world. Thats the whole point of the 'news'.\n\nNow if what they're saying is a lie, you can sue them for slander.

what dating sites can you meet black men for free

e-harmany but can i tell you something its kinda dangers meeting some one online lots of peopol are geting hurt that way


I was dating a married woman and i became obssesive, we ended the affair with a fight not before i called her a witch(u know what i mean) should i say im sorry or just leave it as it is?

I don't know? Did you say you were "Obsessive" ? Yes,you did. If you do apologize to her,can you leave it at that and leave her alone from then on? If not,then perhaps you should just let go and don't ever say a word to her. If she's married,why did you go out with her anyway?

You've heard the saying, "You can't catch that from a public toilet seat."  Well, what can you catch?  Why does the box of the toilet seat cover lists, "For your protection"?

Your toilet seat is cleaner than your keyboard \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nposted 9:20am EST Tue May 14 2002 - submitted by Thomas \nNEWS\nA recent study done by Clorox aimed to find the most germ-ridden surfaces in the workplace. The surface would be a "high-touch" area, meaning it was touched frequently by workers nearly all day long. Remarkably, toilet seats were found to be one of the cleaner surfaces, but telephones and computer keyboards were found to be some of the most filthy.\n\nThere are several obvious factors at play here. The more often something is touched, the more germs it collects. On a busy work day it was found that the average employee is touching ten items per minute. Also, janitors are expected to clean toilets regularly, but are often asked not to disturb workspaces. The study found that bacteria can grow 19 to 31% a day in a workstation if nothing is done. Employees who frequently wipe down their areas with anti-bacterial products were found to reduce the bacteria count 99.9% in two days' time.\n\nThe study was conducted in Tucson, San Francisco, New York, and Tampa. Tucson was found to have the cleanest desks, and New York was found to have the dirtiest. The researchers believe Tucson's desert climate is not as inviting to bacteria. The most germ-ridden surface in Tucson was, in fact, the water fountain handle, demonstrating that moisture is an important factor. Clorox also speculates that in "busier" cities employees are more likely to eat in their workplace, which increases the risk of bacteria spreading.\n\nThe dirtiest areas in the workplace were telephones, but fax machines, water fountain handles, microwave door handles, and computer keyboards were not far behind in the 7,000 items sampled in the survey. Scott Harper, environmental health and safety director for Pima Community College concludes:\n\nI don't want to create a paranoia about touching anything, but we can go a long ways to increase awareness about the benefits of washing your hands or wiping down your desk.\n\nWhat diseases can you catch from toilet seats?\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nDear Straight Dope:\n\nWhat EXACTLY can you catch from sitting on a toilet seat? I took an informal survey and asked several of my girlfriends if they sit on public toilet seats, and 9 of the 11 of them never do. When I asked why, all of them had some variation of "You never know what you can catch from a toilet seat." So, please clear this up for all of us women who are afraid to sit down in a public restroom. --Nicole Anderson, Millis, MA\n\nSDSTAFF Jill replies:\n\nYou can get cooties, and that's about it. Sexually transmitted diseases are spread via sexual intercourse with an infected person. Most of them are spread more easily from male to female. The diseases vary in how infectious they are, but none of them are spread on toilet seats (well, assuming you're using the toilet seat for what it was intended). Most bugs don't tend to live on cool, hard surfaces.\n\nI could add that a couple of diseases - syphilis and herpes - can be spread by direct non-sexual contact with infectious lesions, so make sure there is not an infected person already on the toilet when you sit down. One should consider HOW people sit on toilet seats. Genital and anal infections most likely would not come in contact with the seat in normal use. Intact skin is a good barrier against most disease organisms ... unless of course one were to pick up a bacterium or virus on the seat, then immediately plant their buttocks on someone's nose and mouth. If this were to happen to me, disease transmission would be the least of my concerns.\n\nAs far as other kinds of diseases that have different routes of transmission, such as oral/fecal or airborne, the hands are more to blame for spreading these diseases than the bott

I Need a Spanish class. I'm no longer in the same city as my original University and I work full time. The class must be an advance course. Most online schools (AIU online, University of Phoenix Online)do not offer single courses. Any suggestions?

the planes do, theres the economy class, the first class etc.


This has nothing to do with partisanship. When Michael Moore's movie came out it was applauded and honored even though MILLIONS of Americans still have very harsh feelings about it. NOW some of the same people that were defending Farenheit 9-11 are saying that the film about Flight 93 is TOO SOON. I need this line of thinking explained to me as I see this as a HUGE example of hypocricy

I don't like Michael Moore movie and it was a stupid movie\nBut "Flight 93" I feel so sad about all those people that die I don't know if I could take all that hurt and knowing it real people that die because of some stupid people that got in their head they should show the american,the movie may cause many American to turn on some of the arabs here...\nThis isn't a make believe movie like all of hollywood have made it like seening your FAMILY and close FRIENDS dying in mid-air I hope people do go out and support the movie I know I will

i demeand bush be arrested & executed under war crime's against humanity

Crimes against humanity? If you want to see crimes against humanity why don't you go live in the former Yugoslavia, or in Afghanistan under the former Taliban, or in Iraq under the former dictator Saddam, or in the present North Korea or China. You are a moron, and don't know what humanity crimes are. This is 2006 not the barbarian ages and the U.S.A. is just bringing these above mentioned countries out of the dark ages!!!

i feel sometimes like i am not normal person. i told it to many friends, but they said to me that they feel me more normal than many people. is it feeling of everybody about himself?

What is normal? we all have things about us that make us different. That is why we are all unique, because we are our own individuals. I would NEVER want to be labeled, and definitely not labeled as normal.


Do you listen to them???\nWhat is your favorite song????\nWhat is your favorite band member???

mom with two kids 16 and 10 working two jobs have live in nanny to care for house and kids when at work.

The quickest and easiest way to go would be if you had no kids and weren't contesting any property, but since you have the kids, I would suggest child support.\n\nSimply put, the less the lawyer has to do (eg property, child support, custody, etc) the less expensive the fees. You could search around for an attourney who would be flexible and work with you to make payment arrangements and that sort of thing. Make sure you ask about that before setting up a consultation though, cuz even those cost alot of money.

my minor child is working for a grocery store that has a union. does she legally have to join it

Joining a union is a contract, which minors are not allowed to go into without parent approval. So if they will allow her to join with a parent cosigning I would recommend it. Even if she moves on to another job later there will be a good mark on her resume for future positions with union employeers.

The Law says if a goalkeeper comes up and takes a corner and then handles the ball IN HIS OWN area, BEFORE the ball is touched by another player, it is an indirect free kick.\n\nHas it ever actually happened ?

Despite the fact that I can not recall an example of a goalkeeper taking a corner, the possibility of them doing so means they require their own section under Law 17 - "The Corner Kick" as follows:\n\nCorner kick taken by the goalkeeper \n\nIf, after the ball is in play, the goalkeeper touches the ball a second time (except with his hands) before it has touched another player: \n\n* an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team, the kick to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred\n\nIf, after the ball is in play, the goalkeeper deliberately handles the ball before it has touched another player: \n\n* a direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if the infringement occurred outside the goalkeeper's penalty area, the kick to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred \n\n* an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team if the infringement occurred inside the goalkeeper's penalty area, the kick to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred\n\n\nThis differs from outfield players only in the ruling about handling inside their own penalty area - if any other player did this the result would be a penalty to the opposing team.\n\nI can not say that this has never happened, but I can say that as a qualified referee I don't expect to have my knowledge of this law tested in a real life situation!


I don't understand.  If this is such a bad place with a bad government, bad culture, then why do people risk their lives to come here?  (Like the 22 Chinese who loaded themselves in a shipping crate and landed in Seattle a couple days ago)

Although some people say America is a "bad" country, people still want to come to America because it has more opportunities for them than the country that they live in.


I started a website called 1 million sentences. It enables advertisers to buy & publish a sentence on the homepage and link it to their site. The sentence can entice visitors to go to there website.

I have been sick now for a few weeks and I have been stuck in bed during this time. I am starting to feel batter, but my energy levels are soooo low right now and I still don't have the energy to eat a good meal or exercise. How can I begin to get my energy levels back up so I can start working out and eating well again? Plus I have finals coming up so I have to get some energy to study again and stuff. Please help!!!

Open your curtains and let the sun shine in!  Also daily vitamins rich in B vitamins and iron will help you feel better.  The iron may make you constipated, so keep drinking water and have extra fiber too.\n\nI'm glad you're feeling better!


which is very useful. is it very hard to implement because of tech or anything others?

That is because Bulletin Board systems seperate messages from "files" and put them in seperate areas.\n\nAlso messages require less overhead and sysop attention than 'files'.  As a pre-internet BBS operator files coming from users carried a lot of risks (virus's, copywritten content and so forth).. Also in the 8.3 file name days an accurate description of the file also had to be maintained (usually with the file_id.diz files that were contained in the archives. \n\nThe transmission of files from one site to another also incurred a lot of time and long distance charges. As a Fidonet/Nanet NEC I could transfer thousands of messages in a compact archive in just a few minutes but 'FILES' took hours remember we were all dialup at that time and I stopped being a BBS Sysop just before the 56K V.90 modems became popular.  \n\nIf you are referring to Forum software that is also because most of them use some sort of SQL database to store the messages and retrieval and storage of a text message takes milliseconds and when you are dealing with thousands of users requesting messages every second every millisecond counts.  \n\nAlso most websites that host the forums don't have unlimited bandwitdth nor unlimited storage.  With text you can do a lot with a few hundred dollars per month website if you add the bandwidth involved in transferring program files you can quickly start paying a thousand dollars per month in either storage space or bandwidth usage. Then there again is the added maintenance involved in ensuring that the files don't contain virus's or trojans, are named correctly and also do not contain copywritten content. Way too much work involved.


these cracks hurt at first but no longer do. i have no insurance so i dont want to go to the podiatrist unless neccesary.  I tried to call them and ask questions but they all just want me to come in, and will not give me any guesses, to what it may be.  So if anyone knows or even has a term for me to look up as to what this may be , it would be so appreciated. i know its not a callus, wart, athletes feet, or bunion.  Please any input would be great!!

These foot problems occur because of the body’s inability to provide natural oils and moisture to the area and the skin’s reduced capacity to retain moisture. Research shows that the problem has a variety of causes including aging, inactive sweat glands, inadequate water intake, poor eating habits, harsh chemical/detergent based soaps, obesity, long periods of standing, and exposure to weather via open backed shoes and sandals.    You need to find some kind of mouistuerizing salve to replinish the cracks in your feet. My mother has the same thing. She uses some kind of salve that is for cows utters ( i know it's weird but it works for her)  Hope you find something useful and relieving.


i have had diabetes for 8 years and i  havent grown for 3 years.from the age of 10-14 i stayed 4'll and when i turned 15 i grew to 5'0. every scence i havent grown an inch. i am afraid my diabetes has stunted my growth. doctors say i am suppost to be 5'7. that i might have delayed growth spurts that is why they never gave me medication. i am afraid i will be stuck at being a 5 foot tall man..

Your diabetes will not effect you growth.  I wouldn't worry about your height my brother was 17-18 when he finally truely hit puberty and started growing.  When he graduated highschool 2 months before his 19th birthday he was barely as tall as me, I am 5'4". He only recently stopped growing he is now 24 and 6'1".

I this war was being fought on US soil do the liberal’s anti-war activist would still be acting they same way?

The war in America will be terrorism, no one at the moment can fight the US on her own soil with hand to hand combat.  Too many guns.  Could be nuked, but pretty hard in this day and age..  More likely terrorists.  The liberals will turn themselves in because they think that the enemy will let them live..

I saw the movie tonight but i dont understand the end of it when the woman and her daugher comes home but when the husband wakes up theyre not there??...can anyone explain it to me?

The 2 that answered you previously are wrong. The 2 were not dead because if they were the police woman wouldnt have been burned to death. You cant die again after your dead and that would have defeated the whole purpose of the movie if you think about it. True they were still stuck in hell. If you had actually played all of the games they would see that once youve been to Silent Hill you will always be affected by it. 1, the little girl got possessed at the end of the movie because she opened her eyes. 2 Since she did get posessed at the end she was the reason that they were still stuck in the hell dimension (you can tell she got possessed  once you see that  she never even speaks again after she opens her eyes even when her mother says I LOVE YOU). 3 there is going to be a sequel. If they were dead then that would mean that all the people that got killed in the church were dead too (b 4 they got murdered). But you can't die twice so they are NOT dead. If thats not the case then someone needs to rewrite that script because nobody in the games that were in the foggy silent hill was dead\nPlay the 2nd game


I just realized that my scroll wheel has not been working for some time!  It must have been a couple weeks, minimum.  It does not work in Firefox, IE, or Windows Explorer.  There is no Firefox setting to turn the scroll wheel on or off.  I didn't find such a setting in Windows.  What could be wrong?

This is a hardware problem.  If the mouse wheel has lint, or other kind of thick dust, it will not work.  If this is what is happening, try using a pin to clear it.  If not, then the most likely explanation is that the mouse was banged or hit really hard, damaging or dislodgeing the receptor that monitors the wheel's movement.  In this case, you probably want to get another mouse.\n\nHope this Helps.\n----------------\nFrom,\nThe Realm of Goliath Web Design Team

At this clinic I go to,the secretary (who is almost always behind her desk) came out;she seemed very pregnant so I just happened to ask her about how many months are you; WELL, it turned out she was not pregnant at all.Just fat she told me after I apologized.I felt so bad; but can only imagine how SHE felt. I'm hoping she'll forget eventually; being that I see her a lot.opini ..

There's not anything you can do ... just keep going in and being yourself,if you go in now and act all weird she'll pick-up on it and it will make the problem worse.Believe me all she wants to do is forget about it.


my friend and I are in  the depths of a great debate. i read the word and think one thing, yet she reads the word and belives another. niether of us are catholic so thats not where the difference is. I belive when i die i go to heaven. heaven is in the presence of the lord. she thinks when we die there is a waiting room until the secound coming of Christ.we both have scripture to support what we think, yet we both look at the others word differently. so what do you think? where do we go when we die?\n(christians only please, i dont need to hear sacrelig answers)

when we die we are in a deep sleep not knowing or doing anything until the glorious day when Christ will return. In revelations it says that the "dead in Christ shall rise"


If Satan can't create life and God created the plants upon the land, what is the consensus on marijuana? Is it's prohibition a way of saying that God made a mistake? Can Satan influence vegitation?\nThx-

Here's the shot on that.  I am answering the question you asked upfront and not your added comment; too complex.  I am a psychologist of a mess of years and I have had opportunities to study people in closed systems.  Meaning I talk with and see them and this gets to be deep.  Here's what I've learned about these Religious Groups (Christian, Catholic, you name it) They be the majority and the majority have most all smoked on some bomb marijuana.  You see them out front their church, you take a picture and not a one of them look like they'd even have sex.  They look like never having had a few totes.  They don't look like they'd ever smoke a cigarette.  They look wholesome and holy and gracious and oh my, see them on Monday through Saturday and they do not look the same.  Weed is basically the least important matter with police so busy dealing with an ever crazier society.  They keep it illegal for the bigger bucks and the court employment and they don't care that their prison systems are getting bigger due to their smallest problem.  Oh joy, if were just weed they had to control.


Have Kodak Easyshare installed..also NIKON View for photo transfers...computer cannot see photos on memory card when I attempt transfer from Nikon camera.  Is the Kodak Easyshare program causing some sort of conflict?

If you are using both cameras on same USB, i think there is a conflict between.\nIf I were you I would :\n1- Remove both software.\n2- Install Kodak software and camera.\n3- Try to communicate with the camera.\n4- Remove Software and camera.\n5- Install Nikon Software and camera.\n6- Connect camera and communicate with it.\nIf all these steps were going with no problem, then it is a conflict between them.\nTry to use one USB for each camera, If you still have problems, Throgh one of them from a high building. This will help.


I broke my neck between c3,4 and 7,8. The c7 and 8 fracture healed on it's own with the use of a rigid neck brace. The fracture at 3 and 4 required surgery and the use of cadavier bone.\nWill my neck ever be able to safely handle the stress and impact of competing in Jiu Jitsu, again. I miss the sport, exercise and competition, but not enough to become a parapallegic.

I would be really careful about this. A naturally healed bone is stronger than before it was broken, but you had a fusion. The fusion changes the natural mechanics of the neck. I would seriously consult with the MD who performed the procedure. The fused levels might be OK but the level above and below tends to become more mobile, so these levels with the increased load of Jui-Jutsu may not handle the increased strain well. You sustained a very serious injury, I again would highly, highly recommend speaking with the MD, before returning to competition level Juio-Jitsu. \n\nNot to be nit-picky either but if you damaged the spinal cord in the cervical region you would become a full or incomplete Quadriplegic- meaning - no arm, trunk or leg function.

I figured America was founded just by attacking tribes, why cant people do that today?

America's founding was quite a bit more complicated than that, and starting a country today would also be much more complicated.\n\nAll the land in the world today is owned by one country or another except for Antarctica. There are international treaties for Antarctica too however that prevent one country or another from claiming it as territory for its own. Elsewhere in the world, to start your own country, you would have to rally a sizeable group of supporters, get funding, and secede from the nation that your particular part of the land is in. Then you would need to be powerful enough to repulse the attacks of the host nation, form your own national identity and remain organized long enough to maintain national unity. If these things can be accomplished and you did this long enough to be recognized by a majority of the other countries in the world, then you too can start your own country. Good luck.


Hi,I have known this girl for 6 years now and it all started with an affair for 2 years but eventually ended cause of different locations as i was studying at a different place.I have always loved her truly but we stopped talking for 1 year as she said it as a infatuation but for the fact i left her that she was having an affair with another guy.I have thought a lot about it and i cannot left her go so i have come back to my place and got a job here and started talking to her but she is not opening herself,she says it's our age difference which is 7 years and she thinks cannot go ahead.I want to generate feeliings within her heart but cannot do .I tried making her jealous also but did'nt work.Also,she is not too eager to meet me.I REALLY NEED A PRACTICAL SOLUTION .Leaving her is not an option for me.It's a really bad feeling .PLease suggest.

i think you should let her know how you feel about her.\n\ni think it would be much easier to tell her this in person  so i would just ask her to take some time aside on a day and try to go out somewhere where you can talk dinner/coffee/park but somewhere commercial not too busy tho where there isn't eery silence or awkward feelings for reactions to a conversation like that \n\nbye what u have stated it doesn't seem as if she shares the same feelings with you  but i would not know since i dont know her\n\nbut be cautious  because if in fact that she doesn't feel the same way as you do about each other you might be faced with the problem of just wanting to stay friends \n\nbut also don't obsess or show obsession over the situation because that can push someone away and make them feel uncomfortable around you
