Most cells are not large for practical reasons. the most important of these is communication. the different regions of cell need to communicate with one another in order for the cell as a whole to function effectively. proteins and organelles are being synthesized, and materials are continually entering and leaving the cell. all of these processes involve the diffusion of substances at aome point, and the larger a cell is the longer it takes for substances to diffuse from the plasma membrane to the center of the cell. for this reason, an organisms made up of many relatively small cells has an advantage over one composed of fewer, larger cells.\n      The advantage of small cell size is readily visualized in terms of the surface area-to-volume ratio. As a cell's size increases, it's volume increases much more rapidly than its surface area. A cell's surface provides its only oppurtunity for interaction with the environment, as all substances enter and exit a cell via the plasma membran. This membrane plays a key role in controlling cell functions, and because small cells have more surface area per unit of volume than large ones, the control is more effective when cells are relatively small.

I am wondering if one gets to use H.G.H for a long time(say a year or so at least)if that would make the indigeneous secretion of H.G.H by the Pituitary decrease and when and if you stop using the medication if the bodys own secretion will not pick up again (called LAZY PITUITARY SYNDROME) and you will then age even faster than you would have in the first place.Any professional colleagues with an insite into this predicament, as I have not been able to find a definite answer anywhere!

Your best answer to this is how old someone is.\n\nTeens and up to 25yr olds produce enough from the pituitary gland. It's only as we age pass this, does production slow down. It does'nt stop though - people who work out hard and regular show increased levels in comparison to others. \n\nThere is no evidence to date that if you supplement, then stop - your natural production will decrease further because of the 'un-natural' supplementation.\n\nWe looked into this with the rave drug 'xtasy' (MDA) and the release of serotonin - once again, the neurotransmitters regulated themselves. This was only one study though.\n\nI'm not a Phd - just someone with experience.


Dont you think US is treating Saddam too nicely after what he did to the Iraqis? He can smoke and tell the Judge to go to hell!!!???

Hell no, he won't win.  And I think the US treated him too nicely in the 1980s when we were giving him WMDs to use against Iran.


This was not clear from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_out#Mankaded

you can only do 'mankad' to a batsman bfor landing ur backfoot in the popping crease, earlier u can complete ur bowling action ,and stil can do a batsman 'mankad'. no warning is required to do mankad to batsman, courteney walsh once warned shane warne not be out of the crease in a tight macth situation, bcoz of aus has won that match. if walsh would had done 'mankad'shane windies might had won that match.

friday, inside of his home, the police found a man dead. when they investigated they found nothing out of the ordinary. his neighbors hadn't seen anything. outsid on the portch there was a fresh milk delivery, monday's paper, and all of his mail was in the box. there were no footprints and no fingerprints. who killed him?

The paperboy killed him, hence the stopping of newspaper delivery.


Approximately 1 percent of the U.S. population have a FICO score of over 800.  Who are they?  What is their average income?  When did they obtain a FICO score of 800?  Where do they live?  How are they employed?  Why do only 1 percent of the population have a FICO score over 800.

I can't answer what the complete demographics on clients who have credit scores over 800 or even 750 (which is the mortgage indurtry's make for premier borrower), but can say that income and location are no indicator.  I've been working in the lending industry for over 18 years and have noticed that clients with close to perfect scores are, indeed, far and few between, but there all have one thing in common:  they are aware.  Keep low ratios on your revolving balances, pay all items on time, and never get to a point where a lien will appear.\nInsofar as "when did they obtain a [credit score] of 800" is concerned, everyone starts off as "perfect" (with Experian it's 850) and negative items drop your score.  See this website for a rough breakdown on how scores are determined:  http://www.summitcs.org/id5.html


I am taking the verification and the validation class.  It teaches me many concepts and guidelines.  I am wondering if these are used at all in the real world.  If you work in the industry, please tell me how your company goes about planning,testing and validation and other software engineering steps.

At the company I work for (a Regional Insurance Company), we have on going tasks which are planned out (they figure out what has to be done first to get to the second thing).  We try to test every step of the way with smaller portions of data, to catch any error that may pop up.  \n\nAs far as validation, it depends upon the program.  If we are trying to get a specific result, such as a rate, we go through the program on paper with the data we entered.  We check pretty much every switch to make sure that doesn't throw us off.\nIf we are trying to get a report, we can use older reports to balance to the new program.  Using the same data you'll get the same result on both.

What is the best home remedy for a moderate fever?  And - is it feed a cold, starve a fever, or is it the other way around?

Watch for early signs of dehydration and drink extra fluids, especially water. Adults should drink at least 10 glasses of liquid a day to replenish lost fluids. Children between the ages of 4 and 10 should drink at least 6 to 10 glasses. You may feel better if you eat light, easily digested foods, such as soup. Many people find that taking a lukewarm [80° (26.7°) to 90° (32.2°)] shower or bath makes them feel better when they have a fever. Do not try to take a shower if you are dizzy or unsteady on your feet. Increase the water temperature if you start to shiver. Shivering is a sign that your body is trying to raise its temperature. Do not use rubbing alcohol, ice, or cold water to cool your body. Dress lightly when you have a fever. This will help your body cool down. Wear light pajamas or a light undershirt. Do not wear very warm clothing or use heavy bed covers. Keep room temperature at 70° (21.1°) or lower. Take a nonprescription medication to help relieve your fever- Acetaminophen, such as Tylenol or Panadol, Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Ibuprofen, such as Advil or Motrin \nNaproxen, such as Aleve or Naprosyn,Ketoprofen, such as Actron or Orudis,Aspirin (also a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) Be sure to check your temperature every 2 to 4 hours to make sure home treatment is working. If fever does not subside or your temp increases, see a doctor.

A 32 year old man in Vermont sexually abuse a six year old for four years and a judge in Vermont really threw the book at him and gave him sixty days in jail,we in America have hit a new low when the most vulnerable of our citizens,our children can't get justice,where are all those self proclaimed sentinels for justice like the ACLU,NOW,and Hollywood activists hiding when an innocent child that can't defend herself needs them

First of all, the ACLU would have nothing to do with this case. They generally only take cases involving the government infringing on people's civil liberties.\n\nSecond of all, where's your source for this case? You have a few specific details, so surely you must have some news story or a link of some kind to more information? I have a hard time believing your statement.\n\nThird of all, the answer to your question is "no."

We are looking for a way to use plain squirt bottles that can be labeled as water so we meet our osha requirements.

There is no MSDS for drinking water.  If you are selling water, it is FDA or USDA labels you have to have.  Drinking bottles in a workplace do not require special labels, but a laminated label might work best.


I am thinking of relocating to minnesota from connecticut and wanted to know what is the cost of living in minnesota? What is fun to do there? What is the weather like? Is it racially diverse? How different is it to live in minnesota than connecticut? Any other info you can give to help me decide.

I moved to Minnesota from NY (Long Island) about 2 years ago.    I moved for a job, so I had an income source in place.  I didn't have a relocation package, so I had to arrange for transportaion (a 10ft truck was about $2000 and motels/gas/misc was about another $800 or so) and finding a new place all on my own.  The cost of living in the Twin Cities area is much lower than NY, although will vary for you depending on what your situation is now, but Conneticut is probably as costly as Long Island.  I found an apartment online and paid $785/mo for a 2 bedroom apartment in Richfield (closer to Minneapolis than Golden Valley)  I now pay $680 (1 bdrm) + $100 parking for 2 ppl for a great place in Minneapolis (loring park, awesome neighborhood).  \n\nThere's more to do here than you would think... I got a lot of weird looks when I said I was moving to Minnesota, but especially in the cities, it is diverse and there are plenty of cultural opportunities... so not like "Fargo"!  Not everyone is blond, not everyone is Swedish.  It was an adjustment the first holiday season though... it's not that people are mean or obnoxious about me not being a devout Christian or anything, but there is much less religious diversity than in NY (but I expected that).  I was surprised to see so many great restaurants... thai, middle eastern, ethiopian, mexican, etc.  There are so many lakes, parks, etc.  People really enjoy the outdoors here.  \n\nThe weather... well, it's colder sometimes than CT that's for sure, but you do adjust, just remember to layer and if you are going to rent, make sure heat is included!  It's not as scary as you'd think.  The summers also surprised me, it can get pretty hot, and then there are the tornados (they really don't hit in the metro area, though) but i see people out and about in all sorts of weather.\n\nI like it here, I can finally afford to do what I want, and I actually had an opportunity to move back to the east coast, but passed it up because I like it here so much.  Compared to what I was used to on Long Island, it's easy living.  I live in a neighborhood that actually reminds me of NYC (east village), I see all sorts of people around, and I think that's what makes an area "alive"  \n\nGolden Valley is a suburb for sure, I don't know much about it, but I can tell you that the further away you you get from the Cities, the more "cookie cutter" things get... \n\nhope this helped!

Well Bell schedule A only let u have a few mintues in each class and 5 mintue passing period. Bell schedule B lets u have more time in that class to actually learn and make sure u under stand things. I know at my High school each class is 50 mintues long and 3 period is 55 mintues b/c we have Logan Live. teacher can get used to schedule easily, beside tacher will be happer with bell schedule B.

Sled A ( with its riders ) has twice the mass of Sled B ( with its riders ). If BOTH have the SAME kinetic energy, which sled is moving faster and WHY?

Sled B is faster\nKE = m*v^2\n\nSince both have same KE. so the analysis goes with the mass, since sled B is lighter the velocity is of higher value.


People who want to be in a country music band

Who really wants to be in a country band(jk)


OK let me explain. I occasionally get so annoyed at society in general because it is SO STUPID!!!\nAhem. I was at the shops a while back, behind a young couple in the queue. They had a trolley (cart) full of beer, vodka and two packs of baby nappies. When they got to the checkout they didn't have enough money to pay for it all. Know what they did? They PUT THE NAPPIES BACK!!!! Instead of ensuring the health and comfort of their baby they bought booze!! ARGH!\nBut yeah, that's the type of thing that annoys me. Anyone else feel the same?

You're not twisted or even bitter. You saw an injustice to a child and you didn't think it was fair. And it wasn't. If you want to stop this kind of injustice join a group that prevents the kind of things that annoy you most. You'll fix things and make like minded friends in the process.

A large truck wants to cross a bridge that is 1 mile long. However the bridge can only hold 14000 lbs. The driver had then somehow calculated that the weight of the truck at that time plus his own weight is exactly 14000 lbs. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse? Give a reason.

THE BRIDGE DOES NOT COLLAPSE.\nThe reason is simple, after travelling half way with an additional load of 14000lbs, the weight of fuel burnt in the truck is more than enough to compensate for the weight of the bird. So, when the bird lands on the truck, the bridge does not collapse.\n\n:-)


What is so wrong with wemon being pope? We are just as good as men are!

Because Christianity (Especially Catholocism) is grossly out of date. Think about it, this religion COMPLETELY segregates people by gender. The Catholic church has roles that a man fills and roles that a woman fills, that's the way it always has been, and probably always will be.

I need to know this for an electronics class assignment.

rosin core solder ia a mixture of lead and tin with a rosin central core thee metals are in a ratio of 60% to 40 % or close to this ratio. This solder is used for making joints in electronic devices since the rosin helps to make the heated metals to flow and make a good solder joint and is non-corrosive. a good solder joint has a shape like a Hershey's Kiss. A poor or "cold" solder joint will be rounded under ar the circuit board level and will have undesirable high resistance. To solder to NASA specs a good worker should be able to make at least one million consecutive joints with no errors. acids are also used as a flux mainly in jewelry work and plumbing, etc. the flux helps the flow of solder.


islam is a religion as it is a  way of life. the quran doesnt say "says that if you die well killing others you will go to a muslim heaven" WRONG!! if you die defending yourself you go to heaven. make sense right? islam rule the world?! WRONG again. islam preaches religious tolerance more than any other religion out there. in fact, in the quran it states that NO place of worship has the right to be destroyed if even ONE person goes there. Islam dates back to the time of adam and eve. there was no founder; there was only god. why do so many religions exsist? because with time comes change. (and to clear up the answer above, no man has the right to beat a women. a women is to be treated with respect and compassion!) Muslims pray five times a day, fast the month of ramadan, give charity, state there is no god but god, and make the pilgrimage to mecca. those are the basis of islam. then comes things like, respecting your parents, being kind to your neighbors, and preforming good deeds as often as possible because it isnt just a religion but a way of living.


Do any Steeler fans out there think that Ron Dayne will be a perfect replacement for the BUS? As he is used incorrectly for the NFL for a back to run sweeps and options his size?

The former Heisman Trophy winner out of Wisconsin is a good RB. If you remember, he used to be part of the "Thunder and Lightning" combo of him and Tiki Barber back with the 2000 NFC Champion New York Giants. He would not put up the rushing yards as the BUS, but he would be valuable in goal-line situations.


what happens to the water molecules that creates bubbles when you heat it

when a liquid boils, it literally turns into a gas (steam).  As the water at the top of the pot evaporates, the gas can go straight into the air. But when it evaporates (boils) at the bottom of the pot, it forms bubbles that have to float up to the top

Is it supposed to collapse back in on itself, or continue to expand indefinitely?  Or is there a new theory out?

There are multiple possibilities:\na) The universe stops expanding, starts collapsing, and squishes back together (the "Big Crunch" theory)\nb) Basically the Big Crunch theory, except it states that  the universe will "bounce" back out again (the "Big Bounce" theory)\nc)The universe will eventually even out in temperature, and effectively freeze over, so no stars can shine (the "Heat Death" theory)\nd)Vacuum energy will eventually become so strong that every atom in the universe will tear at the exact same moment into traces of radiation (the "Big Rip" theory)\ne)Protons after 10^100 years will decay, leaving the same result as in the Big Rip ("Proton Decay")\n\nNote: Possibility "e" will happen regardless of any other of these possibilities, even though 10^100 years is a rrrreeeeaaaallllllllyyyy long time.

Hey, just bringing this old question up for a vote.


sorry about this question it's my first vibe.


I want to determine if a web site that requests and email and a nickname is a legitimate site and if it will give me the information I want.  So, I would like to see a web site that verifies the validity of other sites.

I think you mean "legitimate" instead of "valid." There is no central web site that tracks the legitimacy of a web site. If it looks even slightly fishy, don't give them your email unless you want a lot of spam. If you still want to try it, quickly create a new Yahoo account (free) and give them that email address - you don't have to bother even using the address again.


I am talking about a vision, either of possibly the past or the future, but something that just pops in your head and you SEE all the details and it is just awesome to view.  Do you believe this is our higher selves or Spirit communicating?

A kinder made me laugh so hard, my tummy hurts! \n\nOn a more serious note, I have felt very intensely in tune with nature before. On a seperate incident have felt at one with the universe...I guess you could say I saw a vision of the universe. Sort of an epiphany after thinking a lot on how we are all connected and the oneness of life.\n\nEdit: I just saw that a kinder is snoopy! I somehow saw him as venus trap before, mouth open...bottom jaw to the right...that was a bit of an epiphany! lol


We went to Cartagena, Colombia, and this gentleman took our pics when we visited Volcan Totumo. He is from British Colombia, Canada. He gave me his personal web page adress but I lost it.

Try googling the images - use your name, the place name, or the circumstances of the trip as key words.


I live in San Diego and have a good job.  However, even with a good job it's hard to buy a home in San Diego when the cheapest single family home is $400k.  What are my options?  forclosures? interest only loans?

The short answer is you can't.  Unless your job is bringing in over 200K a year or so.  I used to live in San Diego and now work in the mortgage industry.  The median home price in San Diego is about 550K.  For example, if you have a 30 year fixed mortgage @ 6.5% on a 550K home, your mortgage payment is going to be $3,476.37 and that's not including taxes and insurance.  If you're bringing in 100K a year that's $8333 a month you're bringing in before taxes.  After  taxes there isn't much money left over for actual living (food, gas, credit cards, etc.)\n\nI would definitely look into foreclosures or talk to a bank about REO homes (They'll know what you're talking about)  Interest only is alright only if you're making a little more than the minimum payment, or if you expect your income to increase, or you expect your home to appreciate in value after the interest only period is over.  Good Luck!


I'm wondering about how far the radiation travels and to what extent the damage is to people affected indirectly.

You are thinking of a "neutron bomb" which commences with an explosion perhaps well above the target, minimizing physical damage.  The real damage is caused by the flood of neutrons that are released.  A neutron has mass but no charge and is very penetrating since it can not be repelled by protons or electrons.  However, the neutron may move at extremely high speed and do its damage upon impact with matter.  Lead is a good shield against gamma rays, similar to X-rays but more penetrating) because the electromagnetic photons are arrested by the cloud of electrons surrounding heavy lead atoms.  But neutrons pass right through like baseballs thrown past a neat row of trucks.  In effect, it takes a baseball to stop a baseball.  Neutrons are stopped by hydrogen atoms consisting of one proton and one electron because the neutron weighs only sligtly more than a proton.  Throw a speeding baseball at a suspended baseball and they will both change motion, one speeding up and one slowing down.  People are composed of much hydrogen locked up in water (H20) and hydro-carbons.  When a neutron strikes, the hydrogen is energized and ionized with its electron stripped away and that can cause tissue damage.  The neutrons can travel right through the walls of a house and find the people.  All the more reason for peace on earth and good will towards men (and innocent women and children too!).


The rest of the world like soccer.  I don't understand about American.

americans would like soccer if they watched it enough but unfortunately the big tv networks wont show it because there are no commercial breaks in a game of soccer only one after 45 minutes so the tv networks would lose advertising revenue unlike american football that has breaks all the time.

I always gain weight around my waist, and want to loose it and not ever gain it back.  My lower stomach, upper legs, butt, all these areas.  Any suggestions?

1. Start eating healthier.  The reason you gain it back is that once you lose it you return to poor eating habits.  A low fat diet is probably your best bet.  Focus on protien - beans and chicken.  Small portions will help shrink your stomach so you aren't hungry all the time.  When you eat try to limit it to portions less than 2 cups in volume and only eat 4-5 times per day.  Drink low fat milk, avoid butter and try to get rid of salt.  Soda also expands your stomach so if you like low cal lemonade or gatorade you're in luck.  \n2. Exercise - Crunches.  to have a visible six-pack (i know that wasn't your question, but in case you're wondering) it takes an incredible amound of discipine.  Hundreds of crunches a day and 40 or more minutes of cardio exersise.  If you just want to lose some weight and tone up a bit I'd suggest a couple of sets of 50 crunches a day (spend a few bucks on a exersise ball to reduce impact on your back)  plus 20 - 30 min. of cardio... running or biking.   Good luck.

What is a close estimation to one inch without using a ruler to find it?

1 inch is 25.4 mm.\n\nI is roughly the size of the second bone of your index finger.  A US quarter has a diameter of 24.26 mm, so it is just under 1 inch, so you could use a quarter to make an estimate of distance if you needed to.


Acids and bases, to release ions, must be in the presence of water. Acids give an H to the water to form H30+, hydronium, and bases grab an H from water to form OH-, hydroxide.


plz this is so imbarrising for me to say but i masturbate and i dont want to bc i no its wrong what do i do plz someone help me!

I would highly suggest the book "Without A Hint" by Joshua Harris.  It talks about lust especially, but any kind of addiction/obsession in our lives.  The book has been renamed to "Sex Is Not The Problem (Lust Is)"  Below is a sight that will tell you some on it.  My friends and I read it, its a great book.


i have read a question sayin 'whoever answer this question would be given 10 points'\nsumthing like that.....

i cannot afford to pay for doctor appointments because i do not have medical insurance. i also wake up coughing/choking in the morning and often through the night.

You need to be evaluated by a doctor now!  At best, you are miserable and have disrupted sleep.  At worst, you have a life threatening disease that will only get worse UNLESS YOU GET TREATMENT. \n\nBest case, you have asthma -- a chronic disease that can be controlled.  Uncontrolled asthma is a leading cause of er visits and can lead to death (in severe cases). And that is one of the better scenarios -- others include cancer, copd, tb, pnemonia, NSIP... \n\nIs there anyway you can afford to pay out of pocket?  Put the $65 on a visa?\n\nIf not, are you eligible for medicare (older) or medicaid (lower income) or disability?\n\nIf not, then try a community clinic - they are federally subsidized and offer sliding scale fees for lower income clients.\n\nWorst case, show up a emergency room.  While you will be billed for the treatment (which is why the other options are better), they will treat you eve if you have no money.  Many hospitals offer charity care in some cirumstance.

My whole life I've heard sleeveless undershirts referred to as "wifebeaters", so named because the people who wore them as shirts were stereotyped as poor and trashy.  Lately, these shirts have become popular amongst younger folks, and I'm now hearing them referred to as "white beaters".  When did this start happening?

The name has been shortened to "Beater" where I am. Some women have been known to wear them and kick their significant other's sorry a$$.


Is there any one definitive facial product for men that is the best for lines, undereye puffiness, and sensitive skin? I've used Dessert Essence Tea Tree face wash, Zihr, Nivea Q10, Loreal Men's hydrosomething or other... I just need ONE good facial cleanser and moisturizer that is effective and doesn't clog pores. Any recommendations?

It really depends on your skin type. Are you oily, dry or a combination of the two? \n\nI find Zirh's facial cleanser and facial scrub to be excellent at getting your skin clean and bright. \n\nBy far the most important thing is the moisturise at least once a day (morning is a must). If you've got oily skin and you use a moisturiser that's too heavy, then your skin will look greasy and shiny. It works the same way for dry skin, if your moisturiser is too light then it just won't work and your skin will still be dry.\n\nI have combination skin and find that the only thing that works for me is an oil-free moisturiser by 'Anthony'. When I'm hungover or really tired then Boitherm's Aquaforce or Nickel's Morning After are brilliant for making you look better than you feel!\n\nFor ultra smooth/soft skin use a clay or mud mask every couple of weeks. This will get deep into the pores of your skin and get rid of all those impurities. All the major brands make these!\n\nHappy skin.


I was in a train and car accident.  My knee was torn out of socket and the ER popped it back into place.  But when the knee was dislocated it caused nerve damage in the side of my lower leg and I now have no feeling in my foot.  I was just wondering if I will be able to use that foot again. And have feeling back to it.

Nerve damage is reversible when the nerve is still connected (in continuity) and the cause of the damage has been removed. If the damage is substantial it may take some time to get it back to normal. Be patient and don't rush it.


i think that it is Backstreet Boys, but thats just me.

Any of the gangsta rap music groups are prime examples.


There is a natural way to increase length and girth, however this method is traction based, not drug based. Use a medical traction device such as the Andro Penis. This method is based on exerting a gradual tractive force of 600 to 1500 grams to permanently expand the blood-carrying chambers (the largest being the corpus cavernosa) of the penis. The microcellular result of this traction is an increase in the total number of cells, and the macrocellular result in an increase in the total tissue volume and thus an enlargement of the penis. These are permanent gains.\n\nUse the Andro Penis device 4-9 hours per day for 3-6 months. You will have time-linear flaccid and erect gains in length, and less pronounced gains in girth. The flaccid gains appear first. The first two months' gains are usually very significant because of additional gains from lengthening of the tunica muscle.\n\nI've gained permanently 1.75" length and 1" girth since June 2005 through the use of an Andro Penis medical traction device and PowerJelq for exercises. (You can supplement the traction with manual or PowerJelq exercises which increase blood flow to the penile tissues). Try the Andro Penis, and you will be happy to see serious gains after 3-6 months usage.


hey my boyfriend is in luv witht he game of basketball and i dont have anything to contribute to some of his conversations. i need some help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My gf ALWAYS mentioned her ex when we were together.  I got tired of that and broke up.  She would compare me to him or say things like, "I told him you liked this and he said he's liked that forever."  When I even demanded to meet the guy or that we hang out with him (rather than her hang out with him alone) she told me that would be weird.  What do you make of this?  I thought it was inappropriate for her to be that close to a guy when she was my gf.  She thought it inappropriate that I believed that.  Were my instincts correct?

Being constantly compared to someone means that you aren't appreciated enough for who you are. Apparently the ex bf is the benchmark she is using to define you in her eyes. The fact that you don't get the chance to meet your "human standard" means that your gf likely gets off on the control issue.\n\nYou know your gf better than I do, so I'm just going off the vibe I'm getting in your question.


does the penis gain length with weight loss?? serious answers please

It might appear so, if you are quite obese the base of your penis may get obscured by all the fat.  Other than that...no.\n\nIf it were true you'd see a lot more skinny guys! :)


Ok i have no butt at all and well i will really like to have some because evrytime i go shopping the clothes doesnt relly fit me and i would like somebody to tell me how i can get a bigger but.adn if u do please explain how it goes.thanks

My sister went to new orleans to help with clean-up. While she was there, they went to the ocean at night. She said there was light in the water, that they thought was the moon's reflection. But as they looked closer, she realized it was in the water itself. When they touched the water, it would light up. What in the world is causing that?

phosphorescence, this link should tell you.


Okay, so me &this guy went out two years ago. I thought we were having a good relationship until about 5 months later, i broke up with him. Even though we went to the same school, he never talked to me anymore or called me. I still liked him, VERY MUCH at the time but it looked like he could care less about me. I know it was stupid of me to just break up with him without even talking to him about it. After we broke up, he told me he never stopped liking me. So then i told him the truth of how i felt, and told him the same. He asked me back out and went out again. One month later, he broke up with me. He didn't have a reason but just said, "I think we should just be friends." Up until now, I still have feelings for him, and i haven't gone out with anyone since. I still ask myself why he broke up with me. Do you think he broke up with me was because i broke up with him the first time ?

It is possible.\nIt does sound like you have some problems communicating.\nPerhaps it is time to just get on with your life.


My daughter has a continuing project on aerodyanmics, ie: air resistance and leaves on the windows of the car. The first year, her hypothesis was correct, leaves without stems had greater air resistance. This year she cut a hole in the leaf, but there was not a correlation between leaves with holes and no holes. After the experiment, we saw some leaves with small slits seem to stay on the car window longer. She can add research before she goes to the state competition, so WHY??????

airplane wings work because of their curvature - the upper surface of the wing is more curved than the lower surface, so air moving over the top of the wing has to take a longer path.  \n\nthis longer path causes the air to thin out over the top surface of the wing, and this leads to a lower pressure on the top surface.  the higher-pressure air on the underside of the wing pushes the wing upwards into the lower-pressure region, just like the higher pressure inside a balloon pushes the balloon outwards into the lower-pressure atmosphere.\n\nanyway, i think you can think about a leaf on a windshield as acting like a wing of sorts.  air will flow faster over the upper surface of the leaf but stay trapped underneath.  if the leaf is solid, then the pressure differential pushes outward on the leaf, away from the windshield.  \n\non the other hand, if there is a slit in the leaf, then the higher-pressure air underneath can move through the slit and equalize the pressures, so there is less force on the leaf pushing it away from the windshield.\n\nas for holes, perhaps if the holes were big enough, you would no longer have the smooth ("laminar") flow over the surface, and instead get turbulent air that causes a vortex to form.  \n\nvortices are lower pressure areas so that might suck the leaf off.  or, a big hole might cause an edge of the leaf to flip up into the airstream and catch some of the air, forcing it down under the leaf and pushing it off the windshield - whereas a slit might still allow the air to flow smoothly over the leaf yet still equalize the pressure.\n\ni'm totally guessing, but i guess it's a reasonable theory.

I'm not working this week at all - or next week...so I did spend more time than usual. And I do feel guilty about it, yes...:) I'm really wondering if I need to just STOP - cold turkey. It's tough to wrench myself away from this site. And it's actually ridiculous. I don't know if I can limit myself to say, 30 minutes a day, because there is this nice-competitive edge in me and I like being at level 4. Now I have double my points to go to make it level 5...and for what? \n\nThanks for listening.


I may be moving out of state in a few months, but I won't be totally sure if I'm staying until I'm already there... I don't want to close my bank accounts (savings and checking) until I'm there, because there's a small chance I may be coming back. Is it possible to close my accounts over the phone, and have them send my money to me at my new address?

Move your money into your checking account and then write a check for the full amount in the account. Beyond that you really don't have to do anything if you don't want to. You could send them a letter after the fact informing them that your account is now closed. It's your money and you are the boss of it. Good Luck in your maybe move.


"A policy that made the US the conscience of the\nworld." Coined by Woodrow Wilson? Here's more about it:\nhttp://shs.westport.k12.ct.us/jwb/Collab/19thC%20Diplomacy/wilson.htm


America has the access to the most resources of anyone in the world, and we spend the most on education. So why is the average American child stupider than kid's in other countries. I want your veiw on why America's youth don't stack up against other's, and how it can be fixed. Please recomend any legislation that should be formed to help.

As a recent immigrant, I've noticed that the three most obvious differences to Europe are...\n\n(1) Tenure. Underperforming teachers must be fired. Tenure is ridiculous.\n\n(2) Underfunding is common world-wide. However, bizarrely in the US, non-critical programs are not cut first. In Europe underfunded schools focus on Math and English, all else is sacrificed before these. However it appears social studies and other non-critical courses continue regardless of overall funding.\n\n(3) You must stream kids based on skills. It is ludicrous to think a "no child is left behind" system will work, a more apt name would be "no child allowed to get ahead".\n\nBeyond this, I would suggest, get parents out of the class room, (no idea why this is thought to be a good idea in the US) and bring back discipline.

I was diagnosed with it 3 years ago. During that time I have taken 2 meds, Concerta & Wellbutrin. I went through many tests before I was diagnosed with it. A few years ago, I noticed that my "road rage" was increasing year by year. I knew that this wasn't me, and that I had to do something. After being diagnosed and learning what some of the other symptoms were. Suddenly, the missing answers to why I had such a hard time in school and other things in life finally came to me.

Try being a teacher with ADHD... (Yes, Hyperactive.)  I was diagnosed about 10 years ago.  I am coping well.  I still have days that I forget things, have problems paying attention, and overall spacey; but I learned what things could help me concentrate better.  For instance, for me-> I keep a key or a small amount of change in my pocket at all times.  When I am having problems concentrating, I tend to play with the object.  I am not sure how, but it seems to help me focus better.  I promise... it will get better!

gay means happy. since when did the word gay was applied to homosexual people.

in the early 1960s, the homosexual subculture started using the word to describe themselves.  The term "homosexual" was too "clinical" (it was in the DSM III as a "mental disorder") and queer was too derogatory, so the word gay (happy) was coined.  By about 1963, mainstream america had started to adopt it too (hetrosexual america I mean...)\n\n"waterhead" is an appropos name for the idiot that posted first.

This is a huge question.  I am dating this guy named Chris Moore, and I actaually used to date his brother, casually.  Yea, I now it is bad, but I am in love with Chris.  But the catch is, we want to get married and everything but he is in Connecticut with the Navy and I am in Texas in college.  I love him so much and I would do anything for him, and I really can't wait to see him.  I am going to Connecticut over Spring Break and everything but he is scared.  He wants marriage so bad but he is not good at making big decisions like this and I don't know what to do...HELP!!!

Why do people get married?  Most marriages end in divorce anyways, and if two people have completely different directions in life why bother.  Single is sexy!  However if your in "love"...USE A CONDOM!

Do you know what's happening in China, i am Chinese-american and i really would love to know what's happening!

Well, I don't know everything but here are some things ...\n\n1. They are building a new city the size of Philadelphia (1 million people) every month.  The Chinese economy is BOOMING.\n2. They can make furniture of same quality as Broyhill, and sell this furniture to Broyhill for the price Broyhill pays for just the wood in the US (The point is that China can make and export almost everything we make, for a tiny fraction of what it cost to make it in the US).\n3. Chinese national pride is HUGE, and so Chinese do not like to buy American.  But, Americans love to buy Chinese (Almost, everything you see in Walmart is Chinese.)\n4. China's military is getting ready to take back Taiwan (they have a HUGE military build up working in that direction).\n5. China's military is recruiting engineers at a very rapid rate.  Soon, they will have a VERY advanced military.\n6. China is making some strong treaties with Russia.\n7. China announced a few months ago that they are launching 300 satelites "to watch their people".  You don't need 300 satelites for a country that size.  300 satelites are enough to watch the whole world.\n\nSo, to summarize . . . The US has become the middle man of the world economy, and China is the manufacturing center.  If the world decides to cut us out and buy Chinese at the same time the world decides that the US should pay $10 or $20 per gallon for gas (which may happen), then China becomes the new World Power and the US becomes a third world country full of starving people (of course, WWIII might come first).\n\nPray that our next president is a great diplomat and not a John Wayne want-a-bee.

Also they check your credit to see if you will be a high risk of; A. wanting more money or B. they think that people with bad credit will be more likely to steal from the company. \n\nIf it shows that you are always in default on your house or car loan then how responsible are you going to be at your job? And on the same note, they will think that you will be looking for a higher paying job while employed with them because you are in debt...\n\nThese aren't my views, I am a firm believer of second chances (I have been through bankruptcy so I know how it is to struggle) but I also have been through many HR and recruiting classes.


Other then the windows xp “remote control/assist” is there another free software that I can use?\n\nI also tried VNC but for some reason I cannot get to the remote computer. it might be related to the fire wall. any idea how to configure Saygate for VNC?\n\nthanks

From the point of inbuilt support, Windows offers 2 softwares, namely NetMeeting and Remote Assistance Feature.\n\nNetmeeting : NetMeeting delivers a complete Internet conferencing solution for all Windows users with multi-point data conferencing, text chat, whiteboard, and file transfer, as well as point-to-point audio and video. This white board feature is which you want. You can learn using it at : http://www.microsoft.com/windows/netmeeting/\n\nThe other feature is Remote Assistance(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/remoteassist/intro.mspx). It lets you stream your screen and its controls with someone else when you need help.\n\nPersonally, I have tried various tools that share your desktop screen and controls. From that point, I would not recommend these 2 utilities, because of following reasons:\n\n1) You need MSN Messenger for using Remote Desktop\n2) Hence, you also need an account at the Passport Network of MSN\n3) You can share screens between 2 users only,\n4) Its pretty resource consuming on systems with lighter configuration\nIf you take my word, try TightVNC (http://www.tightvnc.com/). It is a free remote control software package derived from the popular VNC software. With TightVNC, you can see the desktop of a remote machine and control it with your local mouse and keyboard, just like you would do it sitting in the front of that computer. TightVNC is:\n\n* free, GPL-licensed, with full source code available;\n* useful in remote administration, remote customer support, education, and for many other purposes;\n* cross-platform, available for Windows and Unix, compatible with other VNC software;\n* well maintained and being actively developed.\n\nThere are other like RealVNC (http://www.realvnc.com/), GoToMyPC(https://www.gotomypc.com/) and around a hundred others for the same purpose. But I prefer TightVNC because it is the lightest on resources and most easy to use. I have tried experiments from buffering Video Game screen to streaming your screen on 22 PCs in a chain (not directly). When using other tools, Video games gave a lower FPS( frame per second) as they were consuming more CPU cycles. Also, the time delay in chain screening ( one comp receives and sends its screen to the other comp), was heavy with other tools. Some other services are http://www.logmein.com. Hope this helps you.

If Alexander the Great found Achilles shield at Troy and carried it with him as his own, which set of armor did Odysseus win, the old or new? According to the Iliad, Thetis brought Achilles a new set of armor, to fight Hector with, of gold with a distinctive shield. If Alexander found the golden shield, it seems that Hector would have been wearing Achilles "old" armor due to possible "god protecting qualities". If Odysseus won Achilles armor, wouldn't it have been the golden armor and why leave the shield out of the winnings? Trivial, maybe? The movie TROY solved my puzzlement of where did the lumber come from to build the Trojan horse? Can someone help me with this question?

Hector had Achilles' old armor, which he was prosumably cremated with.  In the Judgement of the Arms, Odysseus wins Achilles' new armor, which should have gone to Ajax.  This story is told in Sophocles's plays Ajax and Philoctetes.  This leaves no armor to be found later by Alexander the Great.


Here's a simple way to "find" it:\n\nWith your lover lying down on her back, legs spread, kneel (or otherwise arrange yourself comfortably) so that you're between her legs, with your hand in front of you, so that (with proper lubrication, or sufficient arousal on her part, so that it's pleasant for her) insert one or two fingers (nails clipped, fingers clean) into her vagina, palm up.\n\nGently curl your fingers toward, you, palm still facing upward, so that the middle of the top joint of each finger (the spot where a fingerprint is taken) presses gently against the wall of her vagina, right under her pubic bone. \n\nSOMEWHERE in that area, more or less in the center (it may be up or down from where you first try pressing) is the g-spot. It often seems to, once found, be a slightly raised mount versus the area around it, but not enough to be able to easily find by touch.\n\nThe best way to be certain you've found it is to do this during sexual play, especially cunnilingus. If your lover's already quite simulated, she should feel, after gentle, repeated pressing on the right spot, an increasing sense of arousal, which can build up into a far greater orgasm than she normally has.\n\nEven women who normally only have one orgasm, and then are "too sensitive", can sometimes have multiple g-spot orgasms. One needs to pause, fingers still inserted if possible, while she catches her breath for a moment, then VERY gently begin repeatedly pressing the area. She may find, to her possible surprise, that it still feels good, not overly sensitive. One should lay "off the" clitoris until she begins to get quite aroused again, though.\n\nHere's a site with much more detail about this and other sexual techniques:

The cannon is a lyle gun (line throwing gun)with a 27 inch barrel with a 2.5 inch bore.  I know that black powder will be used, however, I need to know how much black powder, what packing material and the order in which the the items are to be packed. Preferably without a projectile, but instructions for both (with or without) would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

1. Inspect the barrel to insure it is clean and empty.  If recently fired, wait several minutes before firing again.  It is best to “swab” the bore with a damp sponge.  You want to be 100% certain no live ambers are in the barrel before loading it again. \n   2. Insert a 6-inch piece of fuse all the way into the vent hole and bend it at the top so it is perpendicular to the hole (at least 4 inches of fuse should be exposed) .  This insures that a spark doesn’t pre-ignite the powder in the barrel. \n   3. Determine the correct amount of black powder to use based on the bore diameter of your cannon (chart below).  You can always use less!  A small amount of black powder (thimble full) produces a boom!  Use only fg or ffg black powder.\n   4. Pour the powder into the barrel, or if using the foil pouch method, making sure the powder is all the way back in the bore.  A wooden ramrod works well.  It is not necessary to “pack” the powder.  Keeping it confined is the objective.\n   5. Wading is not necessary for blank loads, if desired, a small amount of waded, dry paper can be used.  Make a ball and push it all the way back against the powder charge.\n   6. Never “double load” a barrel.   Use only 1 powder charge, 1 piece of wading.\n   7. Check around the cannon area making certain it is clear.  Announce that the cannon is to be fired.\n   8. Light the fuse and retreat.  A 6 inch standard fuse gives you about 10 seconds to get away.

I had to drop my intro class after 5 weeks, I had started slipping in week 4 and by the end of 5 I was gone. I am determined to get through this...\nBTW: I'm 44 and havn't seen a mathbook in a VERY LONG TIME!!!\nThank you,

You might want to look into a program called Math Advantage (you can look it up on Amazon.com or probably get a used one on eBay).  I used it in high school for pre-calculus and again in college for calculus and it was really good at explaining things.  Another thing that I found helpful for economics in college (and probably would work well for math) is to type the name of the concept you're working on into Yahoo! or Google.  For example, if you're stuck on the Quadratic Equation, type 'How to solve the quadratic equation' into the search menu will provide a link to losts of helpful sights, and usually discussion groups.  Also, I'm sure the university or college you're taking classes at offer tutoring services (probably free) and most new copies of textbooks give you access to online study areas.  Hope this helps.


I mean if someone has the money and wants to do it that 's his perogative isn't it?

It's not the volume, it's the control. If somebody chooses to drink a lot, most people would say, that is their choice. If somebody can't control their drinking (i.e. get drunk in inappropriate situations, or behave inappropriately when drunk, or drink away money that they don't have), it certainly is a problem.

I need to take a CPR class for work  ASAP but i cant afford to pay for it or the certificate so I was wandering where I could go to do it for free

Assuming that you need a lay rescuer card (your not working as a nusre, paramedic, ect) you can probaly find a class via your local fire department or hospital.  If they don't offer one they should be able to help you find one.   If your needing a healthcare provider card I would also check with the same places although your chances of finding a free class are not as good.\n\nIf they are not able to help you you can check out the American Heart Assoc website (link below) to find training centers in your area.  Just start calling.  You can also check out the rescue breather site for a listing of instructors in your area.  (they however mostly work for proffit)\n\nPlease let me know where you live and I will see if I can find one for you\n\nJay


What do you do for a living, how old are you , and how much do you make?

I have a pet product import and manufacturing company. I love my job. I am 31 and started the company 10 years ago during college at UC Berkeley. I make between $300,000 and $400,000 a year depending on how sales go each year. I am investing the extra money in real estate development and that is starting to take off. If you are thinking about a new career, I highly recommend the career that no one ever thinks to recommend...consumer products' design and manufacturing. When I was thirteen I wanted to be a fireman or a pirate. When I was 19 I wanted to be a plastic surgeon or an orthodontist. Now I am glad that I am in manufacturing because I get paid the same even when I don't show up.  One piece of advice, get paid for what you know, not what you do. My dad and sister are doctors and they only get paid when they are working...they are ALWAYS working.

Since nothing can come from nothing, what did the universe come from?  Please approach this from a scientific viewpoint.

This is a question that neither science or religion can ever "prove."  In our human capacity, it is unlikely anyone will ever know the answer to this.  How can you even take a scientific approach to this?  You can speculate how the universe appears to be created based off measurements in the space, but you can always ask the question "but what about before that?"  \n\nUltimately it comes down to faith, and I don't necessarily mean in a God.  You have faith that the universe was started somehow.  Either God or some unexplainable cosmic phenomenon that we will never understand.  Or both!

i want to have high score in speaking IELTS examination but i dont know .can you give me website which to help to learn more about IELTS

Dinh,\n The best way to gain knowledge about spoken languages is to listen to them.

There is no way to substitute that experience. If you cannot be around english speakers, buy a tape of french - english translation.

Z = 50 + 1.5X - 0.8Y  (-1,1)\n\nWhat is the direction of maximum acsent?\n\nCan you give  me an answer or how to do this proble?\n\nThank you\nBarbie N

To find the direction of maximum ascent, find the directional derivative (DD), and find the direction where it has its max.\nNote: This is the equation of a plane, so the directional derivative is independent of the point where it is taken.\n\nIf v is a unit vector, then the DD in the direction of v, is the vector dot product of v with the vector  formed from the two partial derivatives\nPartial Z with respect to x is 1.5\nPartial Z with respedt to y is -.8\n\nDD = (1.5, -.8) dot v\n\nSince v is  unit vector, you can represent it\n\n(sin t, cos t)\n\ngiving us DD = (1.5)sint - (.8)cost \n\nTo find direction the max, take the derivative with respect to t, and set to 0.\n\n0 = (1.5)cost + (.8)sint\n-(1.5)cost = .8sint\n-1.5/.8 = tan t\n\nThe solutions to that say that v has the same direction as either of the (non-unit) vectors\n(1.5, -.8) or (-1.5, .08). The first is maximum ascent, the second maximum descent.


Who is the best Answerer?\nWhos is the best yahoo answerer here in terms of percentage of best answers he has been credited?\n\nOfcourse, Definetly it might not be the one with high score, then i think it would be great if yahoo choose the best answere of the week in terms of percentage of best answers a person get per week.\nBut again here there should be minimum number of answers given by an answere to take him in to account to decide best answere.\nWhat u people say?

Good question.  I believe that the "best answerer" is the one who does the best job in answering your own question, and that may change from question to question.  If you receive say eight answers to a serious question, hopefully all will try to be helpful and having different views may lend depth and confidence in the best answer.  Also different and valuable sources may be provided to assist in your own further research.  The scope of questions runs the gammot from frivolous to trivia to fun to very serious as it should.  Total points and level are just frosting on the cake IMHO.  Good luck.

Earlier I asked about what is a embassies and consulate, however the answers given confused me...so I'm asking a qustion that came outta my last question.

Usually, each country with diplomatic relations with the other has one embassy in the capital where the ambassador is and consular offices in different parts of the country, if it is large enough. There are 268 US embassies and consulates, including missions to international bodies, such as the UN and NATO. Since diplomatic missions are, in their nature reciprocal, one can assume that there are likewise 268 foreign embassies in the US, but also a large number of consulates beyond that. The site below has a list of every embassy and consulate in the US, but it's on 34 pages and I don't really want to count it.

Good Schnebs around, maybe He'll have some specific information.:)\n\n I keep seeing charges against the Bible having been changed countless times throughout the centuries, but I haven't seen much to back it up.  A friend of mine said that King James changed scripure to meet his political needs, not to mention countless "answers" here that imply that people in power have twisted the text of the canon. Is there any documentation or specific controversy that these charges refer to?

Heh, heh... thanks bro. ;)\n\nI have seen some rare textual changes that have changed the meaning or even elimination of a word because they could not see how it fits. Hebrew letters can look very close to one another, much like our "l" and "i". So any distortion in the leather parchment could be a problem or the flaking of the ink could cause problems as well.\nMy mentor once told me that when the military creates a complex code, they transmit it with parity, or multiple times, so that if the coded message is in any way garbled, they can compare it to earlier or later transmissions. The Bible does the same thing by repeating the important messages several times. This is why Deuteronomy is called Deuteronomy. It's "repeating what we already know is true".\nCan these people explain to me why the entire 2,000 year old Isaiah scroll found in Qumran is virtually identical with the modern copies found in every synagogue in the world?\nRemember that Revelation carries an eternal curse of damnation for anyone who adds or subtracts from the text of scripture, and I do not think King James was hoping for political advantage at the expense of his soul.\nToday, we still have the original Hebrew and Greek text. Changing the scriptures would offer us ZERO political gain. Yet is still translates the same as the original King James, only with todays vernacular. \nI wonder if these people even research beyond their own notions. Do they have such skepticism when they read their dosage instructions for medication?

Please only answer if you have achieved a degree or are in the process of working towards a degree from an accredited online university. Let me know what you also feel are the advantages and disadvantages. Also what school did or do you attend.

Online college is for people who are to lazy to go to traditional college. \n\nDisadvantage is you dont get the eperience one gets when sitting in a class of peers. \nSome companys question how much you really know about a subject when you did everything online with no hands on training. \n\nThere are many disadvantages..... not so many advantages if your genuinely wanting to learn.


first. ALWAYS start with the inner parentheses and work outward. \n\nSo removing the parentheses we get:\n\n-30x+9 + 30x-30 = x -7\n\nWe can combine the x's on the left side and the numbers. -30x + 30x is zero, so:\n\n-21 = x - 7\n\nWe need to get rid of the -7, so we add 7 to both sides\n\n-21+7 = x -7 + 7\n\nso -14 = x


i am a teen new beleive. i know god is all forgivness, but i think i take advangite of that. i sinn a lot a school and than i feel really bad after so i ask god for forgivness. but the next day i do either the same thing or worse. so now i want to ask for forgivnes, but i don't know if god will still forgive me. am i acting like a hyprocite??? please help me i feel soooo guilty!!!

All of us feel like hypocrites sometimes. Forgiveness can happen because of who God is and the decisions He makes. Not because of who we are. The discomfort you feel can be very helpful because it can help you to make new decisions and try a new direction. Some sins are so much a part of our nature that we need a lot of time and a lot of forgiveness before we begin to master the part of our will that keeps making us mess up. Don't give up, and don't dwell too much on guilt. Spend your time being grateful for the forgiveness and for the opportunity to try again. God loves us as we are where we are right now. He will never love you more than He loves you right now and He will never love you less. You have started down a good path. Give yourself a chance and some time to grow.

Why is it politically correct to slander the Catholic church in movies, television, the press and on the web when the same hate speech would not be tolerated against any other group?

Other religions are bashed all the time, don't feel singled out.  It is true that christians are bashed alot, but that is because the general public feels that christians are the most repressive of other religions.  Pagans(so called heathens), Afgani's religion ( so called towl heads), even buddists catch crud.  Most especially pagans, even over christians.  So don't feel bad, and don't feel like it's only christians, everyone else gets it too, even in movies.  The best way to be, is a accepting, caring, good christian, and not let it get to you.  Everyone has free speach, even people you don't want to listen to, and freedom of religion applies to all religion, so get used to it.

health hazards of excessive eatting of eggs

I wouldn't call 2 eggs daily "excessive"; however, studies have shown NO health risk involved with (reasonable) consumption of eggs, so the "eating eggs is bad for cholesterol levels and your heart" story has been largely relegated to myth status. \n\n"The April 21st issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA1999;281:1387-1394) [1] reports a study by Hu and colleagues from the Harvard School of Public Health which found no relationship between egg consumption and cardiovascular disease in a population of over 117,000 nurses and health professionals followed for eight to fourteen years. There was no difference in heart disease relative risk between those who consumed less than one egg a week and those who ate more than one egg a day."

When you do this (in general) you drop the -ar, and add 'ado' if you're talking about a masculine noun and 'ada' if you're talking about a feminine noun.  That's why "desordenado" would be the adjective to describe a boy and "desordenada" would be the adjective to describe a girl.\n\n'des' is always the prefix in Spanish.  There's no 'dis'.


Don't you have to make peace before you become partners?\nWhat use is it to make peace with your friends?  Wouldn't you rather make peace with your enemies?\n\nAnswer or comment here: http://gudmk.blogspot.com/

> Don't you have to make peace before you become partners?\nNot necessarily, just a willingness to open dialogue.\n\nGeorge Mitchell and his team achieved this in Northern Ireland.\n\nBill Richardson achieved a dialog with North Korea.\n\nPeace does not have to mean flower garlands in the streets, it can simply be an improvement over what preceded.\n(viz.: Kosovo)


THE SMEAR CAMPAIGN BY THE SWIFT BOAT VETS ON A DECORATED WAR VET WAS PATHETIC.  THEY TRIED TO MAKE IT SEEM AS THOUGH JOHN KERRY WAS A TRAITOR, YET AWOL BUSH WAS SOME HOW HONORABLE.

Oh boy, and some would still argue that liberalism is not a mental disorder.


The Jpanese konbini (convienience store) system allows anyone to purchase online and then pay for that puchase at their corner c-store.  When it was first announced, it seemed rather successful -- yet I cannot find any information on the percentage of overall ecommerce revenue that goes through that system.

The answer is 'I don't know', but I'd like to. It is certainly not "none" (give me a break!) but my guess is it's in double figures at least and growing. The place to ask this would be Seven-Eleven Japan or the Japan Credit Card Association.


...and was Alito aware of questions or at least cases to be asked about before hearings?

All but Charles Grassley, Herbert Kohl, Dianne Feinstein, and Tom Coburn (4 out of 18) have law degrees, though at least Charles Schumer never practiced law. Alito was not aware of the questions or cases, but being an intelligent person, could guess what issues they would want to bring up.


I just dont need or want anyone to see what Ive searched for previously. Thanks.


Another way to say this: has christianity even started yet?  Sfederow has answered several questions of mine with objections from a Jewish perspective.  He has legitimate objections based on scripture and observation of Christian behavior and practices. Early christians incorporated pagan practices and thinking into the church, and these have been prepetuated for 2000 years. Instead of embracing a more pure faith, it has become contaminiated, and scripture says only a pure faith has power.\n\nHow much has been accomlished that is actually God's perfect will for the kingdom that was promised to Adam and Father ABraham? Or we have gone backwards instead of forwards? How can Christians be a proper witness for God if they violate the commandments given by God to the Jews? When the Messiah comes, won't he have to straighten this mess out?

Yes. The Bible often referrs to the kingdom of God. The kingdom is not a physical place yet, though it will one day be in heaven. But for now the kingdom of God is in the hearts of everyone who believes in God and has accepted Christ as their personal savior.\n\nLuke 17:20-21 (NIV)\n"Jesus replied, 'The kingdom of God does not come visably, nor will people say 'Here it is or there it is,'because the kingdom of God is within you."


I am making a study about what criteria do patients look for when searching for doctors and what make them trust a certain doctor. Thank you for your participation.

The doctor should be patient to hear your symptoms.  He must be well versed in the subject, must be  experienced ,  sympathetic , should be kind and prescribe good standard medicines.
