Anyone know how i can do it, im using quicktime but the quality after conversion is really bad. the image is a jpeg but i have tried it with a bitmap too.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but mpeg4 is a video file isn't it? Since your using quicktime, I don't know what OS you're using, but mspaint on win xp is reasonable for most gif-bmp-jpeg-ect conversions, with the occasional loss of colors from bmp to gif. If you need something a little better, IrfanView for Windows or GraphicConverter for Mac aren't bad. For jpg to mp4, I'm sure there are conversion programs, but unless i'm out of the loop totally, this is a strange conversion.


I know what my favorite Mitch Hedberg joke is.....so what is yours????????

I was at a bar once, and no one was talking to me 'cuz I just did a show, and I ran into a guy, and instead of saying "Excuse me" he said, "Move." I thought that was rude so I said, "Go to hell," then I started to run. He caught me, though. He had on a mustache, a goatee, a pair of earrings, a lip ring, two eyebrow piercings, a pair of sunglasses, a pony-tail, and he was wearing a hat. He said, "Hey, man, you got a lot of nerve," and then I said "Hey, man, you have a lot of... cranial accessories." [crowd laughs] You guys are a smart crowd. When I do the dumber crowds, I have to say, "Hey, man, you got a lot of shit on your head!"

I dont want to pay for office and outlook but i want something similar.  I use open office now, but i still dont have an email client.  I need soemthing with the calander and organizing capabilities as outlook so i can sync with my pda.

You can export your calendar from Outlook in various formats, presumably at least one of which will be importable by whatever calendar program you end up using.  I think Excel .xls and comma separated value text file at least are supported as Outlook calendar export formats.\n\nThe email you can export from Outlook and import into Outlook Express.\n\nThere should be many reviews online comparing and contrasting the various email and/or calendar programs that you can use.\n\nHave you considered Google Gmail and Google Calendar?

should u eat a piece of fruit or should u just stay hungry because i usually get hungry after i exercised at night

You should eat something after you exercise. A piece of fruit would be good.  You should never be hungry.  If you are always hungry, take a look at what you are eating.  Try to spread out the calories differently or try eating different foods so that you don't get hungry.


the change seasons of spring and fall both are invigorating to me.  \n\ni like to be reassured by the life cycles of this planet, they parallel our life cycles in so many ways that go unnoticed.  the equinoxes are seasons of transition, beautiful periods where life is reborn and passes on. (yes there IS beauty in that, i think)\n\nas summer and winter both wear on endlessly. fall and winter replace them with surprisingly swift change.  is it the variety i crave?  the sudden mood swings of another year in its death throes or the spasms of birth?  either way, nature in all its changes is wonderful to behold in april and in october.\n\nto pick one?  springtime, even though fall is the most beautiful time of the year.  the green promise of the new holds an endless appeal for me...

Cos it doesn't have any sugar it in, does it still cause cavities like regular soda does?

YES!!!! It still has phosphoric acid in it which is the main cause of demineralization of a tooth (decay process).  If the soda has sugar in it then the sugar takes over in the demineralization process in the areas that the acid did prior.  I have seen so many people, esp kids w/ a lot of decay inbetweeen their teeth from soda...any kind!! Gaterade and Kool-Aid are other big no gos when it comes to teeth

Actually what you have heard about not talking to your baby is totally false and actually the opposite of Scientology principles.\nOne of the most fundemental principles of Scientology is that communication and the ability to communicate is the most important\ntool we have in our relationship with life and others.\nWhat the birth principle is, is simply that it is better for the mother and baby to maintain as much quiet as possible especially spoken words during the ACTUAL BIRTH event. This is to avoid trauma for mother and baby which could negatively effect the health and sanity of both later. Full details are explained in the Chapter "Preventative Dianetics" ,book Dianetics The Modern Science of Mentail Heath\nOnce the baby is safely born the first thing any mother would want to do is talk to her new baby.If she didn't there would be something very wrong and the Scientology birth method is designed to preserve this\nbonding process and prevent any traumatic barrier that might stop it .\n\nSo you can see how the media and certain people will twist the facts\nto create an alarming impression about something. These people usually have their own doubtful agendas or issues.


my dad built a house overlookng a stream. now, 35 years later, dad is dead and i want to sell the house. the survey shows the county property line going through the middle of my house! another stake was placed in the backyard of a neighbor whose house is 70 years old. I would think that the stream would be a natural monument. why would the county sell half of a half acre site? is there any recourse?\nthank you,\nshel

If you suspect the survey is mistaken, consult a licensed professional land surveyor who specializes in complex boundary issues, not every surveyor gets it right. If you cannot find one in your area, consult a title attorney who has had experience in such cases, they will probably know the most expert surveyors in the area.

What I have currently on the subject is both of Benjamin Graham's books. However, they are quite antiquated,196o's and 1973. I would like to buy one thats in with the now times.

I don't think Ben Graham's advice is at all antiquated.  It is actually the principles that apply across time.  But, there are a few other books you could add on.  I'm fond of Peter Lynch's "One Up On Wall Street" and more recently, Jeremy Siegel's "Stocks for the Long Run".  I know Siegel has a newer book out too, "The Future for Investors", but I haven't read that one yet, so I can't recommend it yet, but I suspect it is also valuable.  They should all be available at amazon.com

specifically, how does it affect my battery, does it damage the battery in any way. I've got a friend whose had her laptop for 2 years and now her battery is totally screwed. Then another friend whose has a desktop, her power supply got messed up. does the voltage fluctuation have anything to do with this, and how can i prevent something from happening to my laptop.

hi there\n\nevery adapter supplied with laptop has some range for controlling fluctuating volatage and its written on the adapter it self. but when the range is too much upside down it slowly start burning the battery element copper or aluminum wire and it is screwed up when it is burnt completely. in some countries like india people where this is a major problem they use ups (uninterripuble power supply).ithink u can buy good ups from APC and it will take care ofuar laptop

Can understand realtors and MLS charge per listing to get revenue. How about those other websites such as RealestateABC, openrealtylist.org, homesearching.com etc?

Most websites are paid for by the realtor.  A realtor has to be represented by a broker.  In other words, if you are a realtor, you have to be backed by a Century 21, Remax, Shorewood, whatever.  A realtor can pay for his own listings which are part of the broker website or sites such as the ones you mentioned get paid by the person listing the house.  I paid Realtor.com to list my condo.  It is free to look at.


my girlfriend and i have been going out for the last 2 months she always sleep in my house but we had sex once! and it was because we were drunk, she tells before that she always had sex with her past boyfriends... and now she loves me because i respect by not having sex that's why he choose me as her boyfriend... is this possible?

You're being used. She's leading you on. \n\nThe whole purpose of dating and romance becoming bf/gf is so that people who find each other sexually attractive can get together.  If actual sexual contact doesn't follow pretty quickly, what were the two of you doing going on dates and being romantic?  All that dating and romance is not what people who are "just friends" do.\n\nThe payoff for her is that she gets to feel cared about in a romantic way, and probably you are being a gentleman and paying for her share of a lot of stuff.  The payoff for you is ...frustration and a depleted bank balance.\n\nDo you want to be in a relationship with a woman who says "I love you because you won't have sex with me (even though I can tell you really want to.)"\n\nEither she's leading you on, or she has a lot of self-esteem issues.  Neither scenario makes for a good relationship.\n\nA long time ago I heard a man explain to his friends "I don't pay for what I don't sleep with."  At the time I thought it was callous.  But I think it's an appropriate response with women like the one you have, who want you to pay for them, buy them gifts, be their boyfriend in public, sleep at your house evey night . . . but don't want to have sex with you.  Adults are sexual beings with sexual needs.  Once you are an adult, that's what boyfriends and girlfriends and committed relationships are for.  If she's not getting that, then it's time for you to move on.


My father is considering making an investment into Consolidted Oil & Gas, Inc. (CSLG) but before he does anything I would like any positive or negative information you can give me.  I found their website but since I don't understand the stock market I need help.

Well it NEVER is a good sign when a company gets delisted off the stock exchange. To put it bluntly, kicked off. Even before they stopped trading completely (on what they call the pink sheets) the stock price never went beyond $1.03 a share. I tried to look at their financial statement on their web site but low and behold no financials? The news on this company is so sparse that there is no way I would invest based upon the way the management is hiding all relevant information on the company except of course their statement they will be relisted on the exchange soon.

A man escapes from prison where he has been for 15 years. He breaks out into a house to look for money and a gun and finds a young couple in the bed. \n\nHe orders the guy out of the bed and ties him to a chair, while tying the girl to the bed he gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom. While he's in there, the husband tells his wife: \n\n"Listen, this guy's an escaped convict, look at his clothes! He probably spent lots of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain, do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is probably very dangerous. If he gets angry he'll kill us. Be strong, honey. I love you." \n\nTo which his wife responds: "He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me he was gay, thought you were cute, and asked me if we had any vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong, honey. I love you too!!"

Hi\nI've got a girlfriend who I love very much.\nAfter having known her for over a year, I can certainly say that women do think in a different way then us - men. And I'm not saying that as an insult. Examples:  \n-My girl can keep within her things that matter to her\n for a long time, and one day- out of the blue - it   all bursts out..\n-She sometimes takes things very emotionally and dramatically, even when it's no big deal\n-Many times she's over-serious when I'm just kidding and it's really frustrating..\n-We can make love, It would seem she enjoys but  afterwards she'd say: "It was so so".\nHelp please..:)

1. she keeps things within her....\n2. she takes things very emotionally even when it's no big deal\n\n\nLook at those two. SHE takes things emotionally of which YOU THINK THEY'RE NO BIG DEAL!!!!\nThey are a big deal to her! and you ask yourself why she keeps things within herself?\n\nThere's no easy 2 minute solution. My advice is: LISTEN to her. No comments, apart from that you're sorry what she has to go through. No solutions! (unless she asks for them)She finds them herself, what she wants is compassion and loving.\n\nWhen she takes "kidding" serious it's probably that she sees the morsel of truth in your kidding and it bothers her. Tell her how great she is and how much you love her.\n\nAbout making love... well she seems to enjoy it but did she have that earth shaking big O before you finish??? You don't know??\nOh my, you've got a lot to learn!!!\n\nI've got to add that you should be grateful she doesn't just fake, but is honest. and I don't think she wants to get back at you for something.\n\nWomen are very complex creatures and their mind works on many things simultanously. That's why they can watch TV, talk to their husband, read a magazine and watch over the kids at the same time. If their relationship bothers them, they think about their problems and also about what their partners will think when they speak their mind, that's why they often just keep their mouth shut. \n\nIt would take a lifetime to explain everything, and the only advice I can give you is the above: listen to her, take her seriously, never say what bothers her is no big deal and just love her and show her all the time what she means to you... you will be surprised what she has to give once she feels safe and loved with you.


The makers of the Constitution conferred, as AGAINST the government, the Right to be left alone; the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by civilized men. -- Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis: Olmstead v. United States (1928)

Actually no, the troops are fighting for Bush's wallet. The troops are out there putting thier lives on the line and following orders. They are amazing and should be commended & supported 100%. Unfortunately the commander in chief is an idiot & a liar. This war isn't about freedom. It's about big business. Pretty much everything Bush & Cheney set into motion is about profiteering. Haliburton isn't even supplying the troops with so much as clean water. They've been drinking contaminated water for Christs sake! Most of them still don't get the sufficient armor they need & they're getting billed for it. The pentagon just released a report that there's less than 1 batallion of Iraqi troops able to defend themselves without the Americans. This iraq war is never going to end. Bush & Cheney have no interest in it ending. It will go on forever & they will continue to laugh all the way to the bank. Americans are not asked to make even the slightest sacrifice. Keep pissing away resources while our soldiers die every day. The 9 - 11 attackers are still out there and Bush has no interest in getting them. Why would he want to take out his long time business partner Bin Laden?


I don't think politics should affect sports.  Iranian National Team should not be punished for the government decisions and neither should the soccer fans.  People have anticipated for this even for a long time and the players have worked hard for this achievment.

Their politics have nothing to do with their ability as athletes.  It would be unfair of us to ask them not to play in something they have been working at their entire lives because of politics.


I need to know soon.  I can't make up my mind of where to go.  I've been accepted to Macalester (in St. Paul, MN) and University of Wisconsin-Madison.  Which one should I go to, they both are great schools.

That is so weird - I applied to those same two colleges as well, but I got wait listed @ Macalester. Boo. Anyways, it seems like a tough decision, because although they are both strong liberal arts schools (Mac being to the extreme) Madison's social life is 100x more overwhelming than Macalester, as well as the campus. I think it depends whether you want to go to a big school or a small school, although Mac is tougher to get into than Madison. Personally, I'm going to Madison, but I'd rather be going to Macalester, but business wise I have no idea which is the better school. Again bottom line: big or small. And tuition. They will both be equally cold. Brr.


I need a flexible device for putting on socks.I have the ridgid type but my socks are too small-the socks stretch out so much they do not stay on my feet.

I have the perfect answer. I have the same problem. Its a device called ABLEWARE. If you can get a hold of a medical magazine it will be in it. If not the company's name is  Maddak Inc, and its located in Pequannock, NJ If you can't reach them by phone go on line. Mine is made of the same material they make socks out of. There is also one made out of cardboard with  a soft cover. They are not expensive and are a great help. I take mine with me were ever I go. In fact I have 4 of them. I also bought myself a 3 foot long shoe horn that helps take of the socks at night.

I just wanna know what other people are thinking of him right now.

It depends on which George Bush you are talking about. For George H.W. Bush, I think that George H.W. Bush was a good leader for the country but was not a strong leader like Ronald Reagan. As for George W. Bush, I voted for him twice and although I do approve of his leadership and his decision to go to war with Iraq and Afghanistan, I think that President Bush (the current one) needs to focus on issues at home including improving education because during the 2000 Presidential Election, he said that education was his top priority and I do not know if that is still his number one priority.

Soccer seems to be very popular among kids.  In 50 years, today's kids and the next generation will become adults.  One would think that many of them will continue to enjoy the sport.  Wouldn't the popularity be increased?  By the way, when I try to categorize this question, I see Football/Soccer identified under English, French, German, Italian, Scottish, and Spanish.  There is no US!!!  I have to choose "Other".

The main reason why soccer has not exploded yet is that the average american's attention span is very small.  Football, baseball, etc. are broken down into different plays, quarters, innings, etc.  There are breaks for commercials entertainment and so on.  But soccer only has two halves and the teams play for 90 minutes.  The play does not stop unless there is a foul and a yellow or red card is given.  Soccer can feel boring to most americans who simply don't see the art in it.  That being said soccer can explode here if the USA teams do well.  Soccer has drastically become more popular since the USA women's soccer team did so well around 2000.  Now that Mia Hamm and others are retiring the men now have to shoulder the burden of carrying on soccer.  If the US men's team win the World Cup at any time in the next 50 years then yes soccer will become more popular.


If you take the SAT test and fail miserably in the math section, but do well in the writing and language section, will it damage your chances of getting into a good college??

To get into state schools, the score to get in is not all that high. Also, you can always retake it. The colleges only really look at the overall score so your writing and language can help balance out your math score. There are different ways you can prepare for the SAT ranging from getting books on it to taking an online course.

Howlong do this systems ask when we are active and how is this energy produced in the body.

That is such a huge question, no wonder everyone avoided it... Ultimately all energy comes from metabolism and you can find out more about this in wikipedia but, be warned, there is a lot of information there.\n\nBut in a nutshell sugars and fats are proken down in the body to form ATP, and that drives all of the energy requiring reactions in your body.

i have heard that it is something very rare substance on earth whether it is created or found naturally.

The science newsgroups have been a-buzz with tales of a 2-kiloton yield Russian red mercury fusion device, theoretically in the possession of terrorists. This, of course, prompts the question: What Is Red Mercury? The answer to this question depends largely on whom you ask. Is red mercury real? Absolutely, but definitions vary. If you had asked me before I did a bit of Internet research, I would have given you the standard cinnabar/vermillion answer. However, the Russium tritium fusion bomb is more interesting... \n\nCinnabar/Vermillion \nCinnabar is naturally-occurring mercuric sulfide (HgS), while vermillion is the name given to the red pigment derived from either natural or manufactured cinnabar. \n\nMercury (II) Iodide \nThe alpha crystalline form of mercury (II) iodide is called 'red mercury', which changes to the yellow beta form at 127°C. \n\nAny Red-Colored Mercury Compound Originating in Russia \nas in the cold war definition of 'Red'.

Submit Offer\nChemistry.Learning-Offer.com\nI doubt anyone is using 'red mercury' in this manner, but it's a possible interpretation. \n\nA Ballotechnic Mercury Compound\nPresumably red in color. Ballotechnics are substances which react very energetically in response to high-pressure shock compression. Google's Sci.Chem group has had a lively ongoing discussion about the possiblity of a an explosive form of mercury antimony oxide. According to some reports, red mercury is a cherry red semi-liquid which is produced by irradiating elemental mercury with mercury antimony oxide in a Russian nuclear reactor. Some people think that red mercury is so explosive that it can be used to trigger a fusion reaction in tritium or deuterium-tritium mixture. Pure fusion devices don't require fissionable material, so it's easier to get the materials needed to make one and easier to transport said materials from one place to another. Other reports refer to a documentary in which is was possible to read a report on Hg2Sb207, in which the compound had a density of 20.20 Kg/dm3 (!). Personally, I find it plausible that mercury antimony oxide, as a low density (nonradioactive?) powder, may be of interest as a ballotechnic material. The high-density material seems unlikely. It would also seem unreasonably dangerous (to the maker) to use a ballotechnic material in a fusion device. One intriguing source mentions a liquid explosive, HgSbO, made by Du Pont laboratories and listed in the international chemical register as number 20720-76-7. Anyone care to look it up?

I just need some ideas, preferably American or European, so just titles or names of artists or albulms to look for...\nAny suggestions..Ok..GO!

I liked "Bedlam Boys" or "Mad Maudlin", Several carols sung during Yule or 'christmas' have many pagan connotations. Wassail song, 'good king Weinselas', "Deck the halls"...

Can i switch from windows 98 to windows 2000 without uninstalling win98 or reformating my hard disk?Will any problems occur if i do not uninstall/reformat?

You need to remove windows 98 from your hard drive *unless* you partition it into at least two drives and install win 2000 on the second one.  You will then have two operating systems on the same hard disk.  You'll be confronted with a choice every time you restart...between running win 98 and win 2000.  If you do not want two operating systems on your hard drive, then you'll need to remove win 98.  Also, to take advantage of the NTFS filing system (as apposed to FAT32) available in win 2000 you'll need to reformat your hard drive.


and if she can, what would make her choose one over the other?

Yes. If you're patient, the choice will become clear.


i normaly use nightcrawlers or stink bait.


These people are smart. Get here, fight to be legal. Act like your being discriminated against (because they know they got the government by the balls) in the meantime know once you are legal, they are all going to ban together and blackmail corporate america to higher wages or walk off the job like they are doing now. Then these companies will bring in new technology, these same people will be out of work, and now go on WELFARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Wake up America - these are desperate Mexicans we are talking about with a hidden agenda - to take over the USA - and from what I can see you are letting them.  The next thing will be, if you can't speak Spanish, you are not qualified for the job.  Only in America you say!!!!!!!!!!!

I Posted This Answer To A Different Question But I THINK It Appies Here As Well\n\nLEGAL Immigration is a good and healthy thing for a nation, because it is done at a rate and in a way that allows a country to collectively decide what sort of labor/jobs ratios it wants to maintain. Limitless ILLEGAL Immigration, however, leads to the modern-day equivalent of slavery, benefiting only the conservative corporate elites.\n\nTranslation:To The Conservative Corporate Elite In This Nation...The Answer To Your Question Is YES\n\nAlthough These"Indentured Servants"Are Free To Go, They Stay Because Their Lives ARE, No Doubt, Better Than At Home,\nBut ILLEGALs Are Still A HUGE DRAIN To The Taxpayers\n\nHeres Something NOBODY Thought Of Yet\n\nIF We Deport The ILLEGAL Immigrants employers would respond to this new, tighter, labor market in two ways. \n\n1: They would offer HIGHER Wages, INCREASED Benefits, and Improved Working Conditions, so as to recruit and retain people from the remaining pool of workers.\n\n2:At the same time, the same employers would look for ways to eliminate some of the jobs they now are having trouble filling. \n\nThe result would be a NEW Equilibrium, with Blue-Collar Workers making somewhat Better Money, but each one of those workers being more productive. \n\nIn Turn The US unemployment rate would drop close to zero, and wages would begin to rise. The American middle class would begin to return to viability, as would the union movement in this nation.\n\n(Wait A Sec....I Aint Done....Stay With Me Here Folks)\n\nThe NEXT Turn Of Events Would Be For IMMIGRANTS To Come To The US In Search Of A Better Life And Then You Would Not Ask Questions Like THIS Because The IMMIGRANTS Would Be Getting A FAIR And DECENT Wage,(NOT $3.00Per Hour)And Would NOT Have To Shack Up 10-15 Inna Cardboard Box,They WILL Pay TAXES,They Will Have Insurance(HEALTH And OTHERwise) And The REST Of The Nation Would Not Look DOWN On Them As We All Have Shown That We Do Right In These Forums Because They Would Be LEGAL, DOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS In Our Nation\n\nResult:Better For The Immigrants-Better For The Economy\n\nThe ANSWER To Your Question Is \nLimitless ILLEGAL Immigration IS, Without A Doubt, the Modern-Day EQUIVALENT of slavery, benefiting only the Conservative Corporate Elites.\n\nSeems To Me That The Administrations Agenda To Keep Their Foot On The Throats Of The American Middle Class Is Finally Coming To The Surface \n**************************\n\nHeres The PROBLEM--MANY ILLEGALS DO NOT WANT CITIZENSHIP\n\n\nHeres THEIR Hidden Agenda\n\nSent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 7:35 PM \n\nSubject: VIDEO: HISPANICS ADMIT THEY ARE ENGAGED IN "CIVIL WAR" WITHIN THE UNITED STATES\n\nSource: Immigration Watchdog \n\nhttp://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/...\n\nThey openly state they have "The armor, the infantry and the artillery" to wage war here.This video PROVES beyond any doubt, the people marching in our streets under Mexican and other foreign flags, over pending immigration legislation, are engaged in a WAR against our nation.The U.S. Government has failed its duty to protect this land from these invaders; invaders who are openly stating they intend to takeover a portion of this land and carve out their own "Mestizo nation of Aztlan."\n\nClick below to play the video \n\n     http://tinyurl.com/pqzpe \n\nRead The Story-Watch The Video-You Decide


There are people out there that are asking questions just to bait Christians, and to make them act any way but Christian like. Don’t be fooled and fall into their trap.\nProverbs 26:4\nAnswer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Proverbs 26:5\nAnswer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.\nIt is good to try to help others to find Jesus and to follow in His way, but don’t be drawn in by fools.\nWhen answering questions read the questions very carefully. Try to find scripture to help you answer the question the best you can. But if the question bothers, upsets or angers you, don’t answer it, or answer them with a Blessing (I pray that God Blesses you and opens your eyes). Just like it says in Romans 12:20\nBut if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.\nBut if a question angers you so much that you feel you have to tell them off, pray for strength

sometimes I answer questions in hopes really seeking people will find an answer. the person doing the baiting sometimes just opens the door for someone else to get an answer,but might not be as bold to ask. I agree with most of your statement tho.. and you do have to know when to apply this verse as well..\nMatthew 7:6  Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.\n\nusually the best way to know is to ask for God's guidance.


This is a continued question to one I had asked earlier. I go to a community college in California, Solano if that matters. Anyway I heard someone where that if you graduate with an AA or AS degree, that you would actually be GURANTTEED acceptance into A state university. \n\nMy questions are, please answer all of them. 1) I shouldn't trip to much if I fail a class because of this (even though I tried my best at it). 2) Is this true. 3) Is this a bad thing (meaning that it seriously does matter what university you attend?). 4) Do my credits from my AS transfer over, so I don’t have to re-do all the classes I took.\n\nThank you for your time

First, off you should speak to someone at your Community College and look at www.csumentor.com for the requirements. I have transferred from a Community college also in CA.\nAlso look at www.assit.org to help you with the classes that transfer over.\n\nYou must complete something called the IGETC which is the core requirements. You must also have 60 transferable units to be a junior at the state University. Some University's will accept lower division transfers but that is rare.\n\nIf you fail a class you must retake it F's don't count. As long as your GPA is 2.0 you will be guaranteed admission to almost any CAL STATE as long as the major is not impacted.\n\nBe sure to complete your English, speach and math before you transfer.\n\nAlso your credits do transfer over making you a junior.\n\nanything else? :-)\n\nHave a great day


is this condition a deformity?is it inherited from a person'parents?.can it be treated or reversed?

G6PD is a metabolic disorder also known as Von Gierke's Disease. It is an enzyme deficiency that prevents glucose from being released from cells into your blood. Which results in enlarged liver and kidneys. \nIt is genetic, and recessive, so a person needs to get both copies of the gene to have it. It can be treated, but not reversed.


please i need help of anyone who is christan and has knowledge about it!\n\nplease go to this URL\n\nhttp://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3Dchristianity%26ei%3DUTF-8%26fr%3DFP-tab-img-t%26x%3Dwrt&w=101&h=101&imgurl=logosre.net%2Fks3%2Fimages%2Fchristianity.gif&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.logosre.net%2Fks3%2Fimages&size=6.1kB&name=christianity.gif&p=christianity&type=gif&no=17&tt=146,765&ei=UTF-8 \n\nand please can you tell me what does that symbol other than cross mean? the fish like symbol. please if you dont help me i am down!

The fish symbol was a secret code of the early Christians. The ichthys also may be an acronym of the Greek letters ΙΧΘΥΣ (Iota Chi Theta Upsilon Sigma) to the statement of Christian faith "᾿Ιησοῦς Χριστὸς Θεοῦ Υἱὸς Σωτήρ" (Iēsous Christos Theou Huios Sōtēr: "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior").


Ok so heres the deal.... I have a gymnastics show, and I need some music do do a floor routine to. It has to be fast, and do cuss words. Can anybody please help me!

since it is a gymnastics meet, i am assuming you cannot have any words in the song, so i think Tequilla, is a good option. I hada  routine to that once, and it has a good fast beat, and is easy to make a routine to.


when i search i can only find stuff from canada or the u.k.  i've looked everywhere!!!  HELP ME!!!

take a gander at http://www.fastweb.com, or chat with the financial aid ofc of the college you wish to attend.


I've been to Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, The Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and American Samoa.\nThe strangest thing i ever encountered was when i ordered "BEEF STEW" in a dirt floor cafe in the Philippines.\nThere was a woman with me and she sat across the table to watch me eat it.\nIt was piled high on top of white rice.\nI was gobbling it down, Navy style, and the woman asked me, "You like?". I said, "Yeah, but it tastes funny...has a funny texture. What is this, horse meat?"\nShe replied, "No. Dats DOG!".\nI nearly lost it. i began to imagine my pet dog growing up. But i had already eaten half of it so i finished it.\nIf i had known what it was before i started eating it, i would have passed. But i don't like to waste food, and i was hungry.\nAlso had monkey meat...on a stick!\n"Monkey meat, chicken feet...you like eat?"\nPhilippines is a trip.\n\nHad Kobe beef, in Sasebo, Japan. Kobe beef is illegal in America. Because they strp a calf to a harness and it never touches the ground. They massage it's body with special oils and feed it a special diet.\nThe meat melts in your mouth. Nothing like it.\nIt's eaten raw in a rice roll, with greens.

Why are spreadsheets used for creating data models?

Because you can use them to ask "what if . . . ?" questions.  When you change a variable, the formulae will show the effect of that variable being changed.  There is automatic recalculation whenever a variable is changed.\n\nFor example, a simple profit and loss spreadsheet for a small business would allow a businessman to "experiment with the model".  He could easily ask and get answers to questions like:\n\n"What would happen if I sold 20 more units per week?"\n\n"What would happen if my rent increased by £50"\n\n"What would happen if I gave my employees a 50p per hour pay rise?"\n\nand so on.\n\nThe two most useful features of spreadsheet software that would make it useful for data modelling are formulae and graphs/charts.


I have to submit some reports in English, but I do not know how to write them. So  if anybody knows about that please help me.\nthanks indeed

i dont use make up at all.. but now i feel like i might have to because its really bad and ppl think im ill...

Do u drink plenty of water????? If not start everyday with a warm glass of water... this is really good for ur skin. I also had very dull skin.... but since i started drinking water ... the first thing every morning ... thers a nice glow to my skin. And eat plenty of fruits and fresh vegs if u like them and can manage eating plenty of it. Coz i dont go for them usually. And then wash ur face with warm water every time u have to wash it. Just splash water and wash... no soap. Just once a day use soap on ur face. And everytime after u wash ur face and body.... apply a good amount of mosituiriser to ur skin... like immmediately after bath or immediately after washing ur face. This will make it better looking. \nNow with ur dark circles.... try using a good foundation.. its not too much of make up anyways. U cud try relaXing with potatoe slices on ur eyes. It kind of lightens the dark circles. Or incase u wanna use a dark circle cream go for it... but choose wisely. \nFor the under eye bags.... again water plays a major role. Drink them in plenty.. reduce ur intake of soft drink and stick to fresh fruit juices and water. Also ur sleeping pattern is very important for this... incase u dont get enough sleep u might have these bags. Have early dinner, before going to bed drink a glass of warm water or milk and sleep for atleast 8 hours. This way u might get some changes for all the above mentioned probs. \nAnd make up only highlight the beauty in u...but every one is naturally beautiful. So dont take make up as such a big deal... Use it when u have to and keep it light and nice... if u dont want to put on too much.


I like keyboard, guitar, trumpet, and others...hehe

Whatever suites you best and meets your needs, if you want a smaller one or a bigger one or what ever you like the best and feel most comfortable with and enjoy.


How do you know someone is your soulmate? Is it when they are your friends, and you know you can't live without them?

i think its knowing each other inside out, know exactly what their reactions/thoughts are before they speak for example, your both contented, you can sit in silence for hours and never worry what the others thinking and where your friend/relationship will end up, afterwards youll believe that was best conversationever if you know what i mean, your lost in a sense without them, although you can function without them you feel quite empty but never question your friend/relationship, its all bout no worries, if there are any it wont be about you two its about other people, you just know when you have chemisty and simmple happy being feeings, good luck hope it helps


i'm just wondering because i'd like one, and i dont know if i'm  mature enough to have one and would any of you want one with me? i'm 16 year old guy, i like rock and i'm tall, white, have orange hair, blue/green eyes and glasses

You;re not mature enough at 16!!! Maybe if you're 25, had time to go out, get drunk, get laid with different girls, then you should be able to tell what youw ant out of life, and then you can have a serious relationship. Get laid, get drunk, try out different things, and only then can you tell whatyou really want out of life.

what do you need to know ? how would that help out our community?

What are you thoughts about it? Did it change something in your spirituality?

Yes.\n\nIt is my favorite sacred text (and I've read quite a few thanks to sacred-texts.com)\n\nI actually was introduced to the Bhagavad Gita at a group in my old hometown. It was called the Gita Satsang. There we did puja, sang songs, chanted mantras, but mostly we read and discussed the Bhagavad Gita (hence the name of the group). \n\nIt is the most profound book I've read. I found it so amazing...all the paths, all the ways, and how they combine...and I found myself connecting to its understanding and its perspectives on the divine, etc.\n\nHow did it change my spirituality? I converted to Hinduism (although this was actually after I visited the local temple and met so many wonderful people who were so tolerant of me and did not ask what religion I was, did not even care if I was not Hindu, they were happy to help me understand what was going on and let me know that I did not have to participate if I did not feel comfortable or did not want to....just like at the Gita Satsang). I know lead my own Gita Satsang in my new hometown.


She is a unificationist and they believe that Jesus wasn't supossed to die. She believes that God gets sad when he sees crucifixes, and when I say that he died to save our sins, she'll say,"then why are people still sinning on earth?" How do I convince her she's wrong?

We are still sinning because we are human.  Jesus' death (and resurrection) is still important to Christians because that is how their imperfections can be clean, and we can become spritually worthy to be with God.\n\nRemember, these are things of faith, not reason.  It is not ours to know, but only to believe.  A question for your friend may be - we are sinners, but how can we redeem ourselves before God?  As a Christian, we can accept Christ.  I wonder what your friend believes?\n\nIt may not be yours to convince her that she's wrong (and some people think that's roude, anyways!  But you can show her what you believe, and she can show what she believes.  Then go have a sandwich.


the doc gave me tabs 4 the summer months it cleared up now its comin back again think it may be the warmer weather comin has any1 got this condition i cant find much about it.

From what I understood from the question, you need to see another doctor immediatly.


Do they also drink cow urine and have sex with a stone to heal sexual problems? Just sounds alien to me! -no offense.

It isnt that they worship them... \n\nHinus believe that all animals have Atman or soul and thus should not be killed. Also killing leads to bad karmic consequences and the consumption of flesh is not sattvic; meaning one can not achieve full spirituality or a close connection with Lord.

I am working on a process that consumes 1000 kg/hr of liquid N2 for cooling by "spraying" onto a powder in an enclosed area.  What volume (per hour) of gaseous N2 is produced?

Well, let's see:  you're releasing 1000 kg/hr of liquid N2, which equilibrates to 1 atmosphere and 20C (STP).\n\nAt STP, one mole of a gas occupies 22.4 liters;\nyou're releasing 1000 kg/hr = (1000 kg*1000g/kg)/28g/mole = 35,714 moles of N2 per hour, and thus:\n\n22.4 liters/mole * 35,714 moles = 800,000 liters (at STP) per hour

It doesn't take an expert to see that we've invested thousands of our soldiers lives and health and well over $100 BILLION dollars into "freeing" and building Iraq. \n\nAdditionaly, on a daily basis, we all pay through our noses for gas that increased in price the day we began in Iraq and hasn't let up since. \n\nWhat is the return from our investment? Will Iraq defend the US against aggressive forces in the future? I don't see it. Will Iraq become part of the US? Don't see that either. Will Iraq be repaying those houndreds of billions of dollars of ours within the life time of any of us whom are old enough to read this? Don't hold your breath. Will terrorism be "stamped out" like GW Bush's claim? Don't bank on that. Remember the "war on drugs" in OUR country? There are still drugs here! Terrorism is like **** roaches. I don't see it going away.\n\nHow much is too much? You ok with $3.00 a gal? Will you tolerate $5.40? Not upset yet? Try $10 a gallon. \n\nHow much are YOU willing to pay?

At least 2500 American lives, apparently.

my boyfriend wanna have sex with me...but we cant marry each other because of our family problems...so it is normal if i have sex with him...will that prove our love??

Actually if you start having sex to prove your love it could just weaken your relationship. Sex can bring its own problems, and can change the emphasis in your relationship.  Prove your love by being attentive, loyal and affectionate.  Anyway I get the sense that you're not sure you want to and you need to be sure...


If I made $250 last week and $120 this week, what would my change in salary be in precent?

Think of it this way.  Percent means out of 100.  100% represents the original amount.  When setting up a percent as a fraction, the 100 goes on the bottom of the fraction.  So the original amount goes on the bottom of the fraction you want to set up:\n\n$120/$250 = .48\n\n.48 is the same as 48%.  \n\nNow answer the question, how much has the percentage changed from 100%?  \n\nThe answer is a 52% decrease.


Need ideas for breaking the social norm for a psychology experiment...help please

Get a friend (or just do it yourself) to lead a sing-along on a train, subway car, or bus and see what happens. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time, but never have as I don't want to get beaten up by people who think I'm annoying. Several reasons why this might/might not be worthwile:\n-It definately breaks the social norm. Not many people like to be heard loud and clear when they're using public transportation.\n-Very few people actually will sing in public. Most people will only mutter or completely ignore you when you ask them to sing.\n\nGood luck :)


Although I have no documentation to prove it took place other than the check for $600 it was handed over in front of three witnesses

You can hire someone for $100 to break their legs, if that doesn't work take further appropriate action. There are many ways to get money back. The idea is to make their life miserable so that they want to give you your money back, perferably with intrest.

For the last threee weeks my ear's been clogged to some degree. It sometimes sounds like I have a seashell pressed against my ear, other times it feels like I have air trapped inside my ear. I've tried a variety of things but nothing seems to work.

Steps \nTake a small bowl, and add some warm water. \nAdd an equal or slightly lesser amount of Hydrogen Peroxide. \nFill the ear syringe with this mixture. \nLie on your side, and insert a small amount of the mixture into the affected ear with the syringe. (unaffected side to the 'down side') \nRemain lying on your side for 5 to 15 minutes. You should be able to hear the Hydrogen Peroxide bubbling in your ear. \nWhen the bubbling sound stops, place the second small bowl under your ear, and turn your head to drain the ear into the bowl. \nRefill the syringe, and with the bowl under your ear, squirt the mixture into your ear with a slight amount of pressure. You should be able to feel the pressure from the liquid, but don't squeeze the syringe so hard that it causes pain. Repeat this step until you are out of the water/peroxide mixture. \n\n\n\nTips \nHeating the peroxide may help. Fill a sink with hot water, and place the bottle of peroxide in the hot water for a few minutes before performing preocedure. \nIt is best NOT to use a 'waterpic', or other mechanized water jet. If you cannot hear due to ear clog out of one or the other ear, it is best to see your health professional (a doctor, Nurse Practitioner or Physicians Assistant) at your local health clinic. \nWarnings \nDon't do this if you have experienced recent head trauma or air travel. \nThis procedure is intended to remove natural ear wax from ears. If there is a foreign object obstructing an ear, consult a doctor. \nPlacing cotton in your ear while lying on your side may help to prevent spills. (Never force the cotton into the ear canal, just 'snug' it into the outer ear opening, and be sure to lay with the ear being treated on the UP side.) \nDO NOT try this if there is any opening in the eardrum. (ie. ruptured eardrum, or tubes) \nMake sure when using the syringe to insert the mixture, there is enough room around the tip of the syringe for air to escape from your ear. \nDO NOT try to attach any kind of 'needled dispenser' to the syringe! At no point should any part of the syringe enter the ear. \nFor your comfort, make sure the water is warm as cold water will cause a violent reaction. Squirting cold water in the ear is how comatose victims are tested for consciousness. \nThings You'll Need \n2 Small bowls (1 to contain the cleaning solution and fill the syringe the other to catch the drained solution.) \nHydrogen Peroxide \nWater \nEar Syringe (Can be purchased at local pharmacy) \nCotton


I would like to be a psychiatrist someday, but I need a good college. I really want to go to Princeton, but I'm not for sure if that has a good Psychiatry program. Does it?

College...Do you mean community college? I think you can take general classes from community colleges and make sure they are transferable to Princeton, which I doubt.\nThere are good universities with great Psychiatry programs, like Stanford.

King James is the Chosen one.  But there is only one MJ.  I think by the end of James' career there will still only be one MJ but still there will never be another Leberon James

They react so angriry to minor events or utterances made aganist their religion.They dont atleast counter attack without war somewhere

I don't know, I don't know much about it. But I don't think they want to be our friends, no matter what people would like to believe. Not generally a real friendly sort, no. But no necessarily violent either. It's not like it's a secret that they hate us over there, as to why, I don't know. But christians in the past, haven't exactly been real lovable either though right? But at least rather than killing infidels, christians try to (usually) peacefully albeit manipulatively convert heathens. Although I don't think most muslims condone killing, but I can't really say for sure.\n\nBy the way, the crusades and the inquisition happened hundreds of years ago, hardly pertinent to today, it was a very different time. Our discussion involves modern times. Let it go man, let it go.\n\nChristians aren't the only people to have owned slaves by the way. Almost every kind of people has at one time in history taken other human beings as slaves. People automatically revert to the "our forefathers owned slaves" as a way to persecute christians, but the truth is that many people holding many different beliefs, have waged war, killed people, and taken captives.  \n\nI think the only truly peaceful religion is Buddhism.


description about God. Could someone enlighten me on that subject. I'd appreciate reference(s). Thanks

not sure but it seems like it's something good. can you clear your question about what u meant by "description about God" ?\n\nGod talks about christians many time in the Quran, those are two of them:\n\n".......and you will find the nearest in love to the believers (Muslims) those who say: "We are Christians." That is because amongst them are priests and monks, and they are not proud." Quran 5:82\n\n"[27] Then, We sent after them Our Messengers, and We sent 'Iesa (Jesus) - son of Maryam (Mary), and gave him the Injeel (Gospel). And We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them, ......" Quran 57:27


I have a 42 y/o boyfriend that insists he never does, I just find that really hard to believe.  Is he telling the truth?

Could a group of people have written it for fun after everyone who would have seen Jesus was dead?

The New Testiment was written by the followers of Jesus' disciples(followers).  Essentially, Jesus's disciples went into the world to teach what Jesus had told them and they gathered disciples of their own.  Jesus' disciples told their own disciples what they had learned from Jesus, and those people wrote the New Testiment.\n\nThe New Testiment, and the various books that have been left out of the New Testiment, were written entirely by people who never met Jesus, but who recieved the teachings of Jesus through his disciples.\n\nCertainly some of the books in the New Testiment and those that were left out of the New Testiment were written to fill personal needs or political needs to show Jesus to be what a specific group of people needed him to be.  But, I doubt that anybody ever wrote books of the Testiment for fun.\n\nYou need to keep in mind that the Testiment was not written by a group of people who worked or colaborated together.  It was written by a variety of people spread all around.  When the modern church was being formed, the New Testiment was made of several books that church leaders knew were being read by Christians, although several popular texts were left out because the church leaders wanted to keep a unified vision of who Jesus was.


I am thinking of going back to scholl to become a cd counsler and i am wondering how long it is going to take and what to take?

It just depends on what type of counselor you are talking about. By counselor you mean, mental health worker, who does basic mental health work like paper work and teaching behavioral modification all you need is a bachelor in psychology or another behavioral science field. I've known people to do it with other degrees also however those are the preferable degrees. Most places expect you to have some type of experience also. \n\nHowever, if you mean a therapist, doing therapy, you need a masters degree in counseling or Social work. \n\nBy the way, if you are thinking about doing this career, you need to know you will not make a lot of money especially at the bachelors level. The behavioral science field is one of the lowest paid fields. Most jobs that require a psychology type degree start out around 22 to 25 thousand a year... sad for a bachelors degree. So basically, you better love what you are doing. For a masters level counselor you dont make all that much either unless you open up a private practice after you get your LPC.\n\nGood luck, it is a very demanding field with little to no rewards. Financial rewards are nonexsistant and emotional rewards are far and few in between.\n\nCounselorDan

Hi. I wish to start a magazine. I have some finance but I don't think it's enough. I write interesting articles myself and know some good writers too but have no experience in magazines Any tips?

Here are some steps to starting a magazine:\n\n1. Conceptualize your magazine - what is its editorial voice, what types of information should it have, who should it be for\n2. Determine how large (or small) your target audience - this can help you determine the viability of your idea. You don't want to start a magazine where only you and 2 friends would be interested in\n3. Decide your revenue model - should it be by subscription or should it be by advertising, or both\n4. Write your business plan to help you think through your idea\n5. Gather a team to help you create your magazine (ad sales, layout, editorial team, printing, etc.) and decide whether to outsource or do in-house some of the processes involved.\n6. Raise financing\n7. Start production\n\nI suggest you go through the following resources:\n\nMagazine Publishers of America http://www.magazine.org\nMagazineLaunch.com http://www.magazinelaunch.com\n10 Tips on How to Launch a Magazine http://www.mediaweek.co.uk/articles/2004/11/16/10tips\nThe Surviving Small Press http://www.laughingbear.com/magazine.htm\n\nSome books you need to read:\n\n- Launch Your Own Magazine: A Guide For Succeeding in Today's Marketplace by Samir Husni\n- The Magazine: Everything You Need to Know to Make It in the Magazine Business, by Leonard Mogel\n- The Magazine: From Cover to Cover, by Johnson, Sammye; Prijatel, Patricia \n- Career Opportunities in Magazine Publishing by \nMonti, Ralph \n- Starting and Running a Successful Newsletter or Magazine by Woodard, Cheryl

When do you use "that" and "which" in academic writing? Can you explain the rule?

that / which (restrictive and nonrestrictive clauses).  The standard rule requires that you use that only to introduce a restrictive (or defining) relative clause, which identifies the person or thing being talked about; in this use it should never be preceded by a comma. Thus, in the sentence The house that Jack built has been torn down, the clause that Jack built is a restrictive clause telling which specific house was torn down. Similarly, in I am looking for a book that is easy to read, the restrictive clause that is easy to read tells what kind of book is desired.    1\n  By contrast, you use which only with nonrestrictive (or nondefining) clauses, which give additional information about something that has already been identified in the context; in this use, which is always preceded by a comma. Thus you should say The students in Chemistry 101 have been complaining about the textbook, which (not that) is hard to follow. The clause which is hard to follow is nonrestrictive in that it does not indicate which text is being complained about; even if it were omitted, we would know that the phrase the textbook refers to the text in Chemistry 101. It should be easy to follow the rule in nonrestrictive clauses like this, since which here sounds more natural than that.\n\nThe source continues the discussion.

We know that in Malaysia soccer is the most popular game since 1950s.What happen?

Because there are far more better teams in Asia than Malaysia. Don't mention the likes of Japan, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran, China or Iraq, because even now Malaysia is finding it tough playing against the likes of Singapore, Hongkong, Indonesia, Qatar, Jordan etc. And don't forget that for th enext World Cup qualification, Australia is also in the Asian groupings!\n\nMalaysia's football development programme is a big suspect. Little have changed since the days of the late Mokhtar Dahari, the late R.Arumugam, Soh Chin Aun, James Wong, Hassan Sani etc.. and that was back in the early 80's. \n\nA big mindset shift and total revamping of the football development and more importantly football management is much needed for Malaysia to be a big name in soccer (at least in Asia). The current administration of football in Malaysia has been there for too long (20 years plus!) and new & dynamic blood is much needed.\n\nEnuff said.


I love Frasier and I saw a few episodes of Cheers but I was curious, Frasier keeps referring to two failed marriages and that he was left at the altar. I know that he was married to Lilith and Diane Chambers left him at the altar so who else was he married to? I am just curious.

He was married to a children's entertainer. I don't remember her name but she left him a doll of her that sang "My number is 555-6792!".


engine has trouble staying run because the choke keeps come on as sone as you start the engine. how do you keep the choke from coming on?

If it's an automatic choke, unplug it. If it's a manual choke, have the carb overhauled.\nOn an automatic choke, there will be a wire plugged into it, unplug this and that will disable the choke. You may have a harder time starting the car though. Your best bet is to have a mechanic adjust it.

Bush has gotten us into so many messes that it's hard to comprehend how one man can do so much damage in so little time.  Will we end up in WWIII?  With all our forces overseas, who will protect the homeland?  Illegal immigration is totally out of control, and will there be violence against them?  The middle class is all but gone.  We help other contries and let Louisiana get destroyed.  The list goes on and on.  Will we survive Bush?

Hopefully congress will grow a set of balls and Impeach him for all his lies etc. If not thank God we only have 2 yrs left before he is out Let's hope the next election is not as rigged as the last 2   and that the bush sheep finally wake up  and don't vote for a Bush clone


what forms? I have already filed normally and recieved my refund , but I didn't know until just recently that I could claim my losses..

it because counting down from it, one finds 586 BC as the year for the destuction of Jehovah's Temple at Jerusalem & the ending of the dynesty of kings over Judea, not 606 or 607 BC?!?!?

There is nothing secret why they use 607 instead of 763, because the explaination is found in our publications.\n\nJerusalem’s destruction took place in 607 B.C.E., a very significant year from the standpoint of Bible prophecy. Although this date differs from the one used by many Bible commentators, it is used consistently in this publication. Why? Because we give greater weight to the testimony of the Bible than to the conclusions that scholars have drawn from the fragmentary record of history that is available on cuneiform tablets.\n\nYet, there are many bible scholars throughout the Earth that agree with 607.


my wife is very concerned about experiencing life-threatening complications during childbirth. can anyone help?

Tornados creat a real havoc to human population why cant they stop such a disaster in the happning instead of just recording its force and destruction ( Why cant they just disrupt its wind pattern by using a minor explosion in the Eye so as to just disrupt the wind partern in the eye of the tornado ) in this way it can also be stopped in its parth without any loss of human life or property as well.

You can't control mother nature.\n\nIf it were possible, Katrina would not have existed

what things should i consider when designing a command line interface, such as layout and things like that, primarily the design process

I'm not sure what you mean by layout, but for command-line interfaces (CLI), you should look at the man pages of Linux programs.\n\nType: man program (e.g., man grep)\n\nThis will give you an idea of what type of types of flags people are accustomed to (e.g., -r for recursive if your program does directory/file operations).\n\nAs for how this relates to HCI, well it's primarly an ease-of-use issue that you should consider. For command-line programs, the only consideration is to adopt tried-and-true flag-naming etc... because people are used to a certain convention or set of semantics (e.g., outputting to stdout so they can redirect the output to other programs). If you change things like that, it makes the learning curve steeper for intermediate/advanced users.\n\nIf you were just talking about a command-line interface like a console terminal, then definitely things such as: text autocompletion (via Tab), or defining your own autocompletion drop-down box as you type would be very useful for the user -- very much like when you type an address in your browser, it brings up a list of websites you've been to as you type. Again, that's going back to implementing what people are accustomed to and just making the entering of commands less time consuming/tedious.\n\nHope that helps.

I want to make my own truetype font, using the standard *.TTF files so that I can send it to anyone I know. What programs are out there that I could use, and more importaintly, what free programs are out there?

Font Creator 5.0 is a really good program for this, but it will cost you about $65.  I can't really recommend a free one, as all of the free ones I have used have been horrid.  I own a copy of Font Creator 5.0, and it does a really good job of allowing you to create fonts.  You can even import scans and make those into fonts.  I created one of my handwriting (for my personal use, of course).\n\nYou can get the program here:\nhttps://www.regnow.com/softsell/nph-softsell.cgi?item=3508-1&referrer=8&linkid=a


White tigers are not a distinct sub-type of tiger, they are merely tigers who are born with hypo-melanism of a sort that suppresses the development of the orange colour we associate with tigers.\n\nIt's pretty much the opposite of the hyper-melanism that creates black panthers (actually a leopard), black jaguars and other big black wild kitties.\n\nOne of the sub-species of Tiger is the Siberian tiger.  It is the largest sub-species and was historically found throughout northern Asia (including Siberia).  Now it is critically endangered, and gone over much of that range.  This sub-species was sometimes known as the Snow Tiger because it lived in areas where it snowed, and remained an active hunter in those areas (unlike say, the Bengal Tiger which lives where it doesn't snow).\n\nSo a Snow Tiger can be a White Tiger, but not all White Tigers are Snow Tigers and not all Snow Tigers are White Tigers.  A Bengal Tiger could be a White Tiger, but it couldn't be a Snow Tiger.  A Siberian Tiger and a Snow Tiger are the same thing.


The best way to look at this question is to start at the beginning: with the Individual person.\n\nAfter all, it is individuals that trade with one another, not countries.\n\nTake two people (Bob & Jim)\n\nBob has 2 apples and Jim has 2 oranges.\n\nBob would like one of Jim's oranges, so he offers to trade one of his apples.\n\nJim agrees and the two make the trade (1 apple for 1 orange).\n\nWhat's the economic impact?\n\nAfter the trade, you have two satisified individuals. Each now has the things that they value most. Bob valued Jim's orange more than his extra apple, and vice versa with Jim.\n\nIt's a win-win situation.\n\nThat is the economic impact of EVERY trade that occurs in the marketplace (UNLESS there is outside interference with the exchange).\n\nNow, imagine that Bob lived in Italy and Jim in Canada...\n\nIt wouldn't make a difference. \n\nThe principles are the same.

are minors entitled to obtain medical care without their parents knowledge? should physicians need a parents consent to treat a minor child?

Parental or guardian consent should be required for treatment in in all but emergency situations. This absolutely should include abortions. Most minors are not capable of making informed, mature decisions about medical care - I'm sure some are, but the vast majority are not. Minors are not 'entitled' to keep any medical situation from their parents.

I know that wasnt' funny but the ist answer was hilarious!\nActually, have you already hashed this out in court?  Have  you already been found guilty (via trial or plea)?  If you answered, yes, to that question, the answer to your question is, NO!  You cannot get your record expunged unless you were a juvenile and accepted a deal to plead nolo contendre and do some community service and not get into any more trouble.  \nIf you did this as an adult, you will always have this on your record...\nOne good thing:  when applying for a job, check that the criminal record thing is regarding felonies.. at least you don't have a felony record... \nor, do you?


gay used to mean bright in color and merry and happy-around when did it start referring to homosexuals? F-ag -work to exhaustion, drudge or a cigarette.  F-agot a bundle of sticks twigs bundled together, or f-agoting a method of decorating cloth by pulling out horizontal threads and tying the remaining vertical into hourglass shapes-when did this start being used?  I have my own ideas for reasons they are used but would like to know when and why? This is a serious question andnot meant for offense.

I suggest you read "Queer Theory" by Annamarie Jagose and "History of Sexuality" by Michel Foucault.\n\nAccording to Jagose, the word "gay" became mainstream in the mid 20th century. Wikipedia reports that it is documented as being used for same-gender sex as early as the 1920s. However, according to Wikipedia as well, the word first became associated with sexual connotations as early at the 17th century:\n\n"The word started to acquire sexual connotations in the late 17th century, being used with meaning "addicted to pleasures and dissipations". This was by extension from the primary meaning of "carefree": implying "uninhibited by moral constraints". By the late nineteenth century the term "gay life" was a well-established euphemism for prostitution and other forms of extramarital sexual behaviour that were perceived as immoral."\n\nAs for f-ag, it comes primarily from prostitution. I think this is especially interesting (Wiki): \n\n"A f-ag (personal servant) was a junior boy who acted as servant to a senior boy at a British independent school."\n\nNow, I thought I would also bring up that I actually hate the word Homosexual. It was invented in 1869 primarily for the purpose of pathologizing same-sex relations. Homosexual is supposed to be some kind of politically correct term these days, but I find it far more insulting than, say, Queer, because it's seens as the "opposite" of heterosexual. I also suggest you read "The Trouble with Normal" by Michael Warner fore more information.\n\nSo I leave you with this qupte below. Please contact me if you want to discuss this further. I love Queer Theory!\n\n"To me, queer is the radical potential to choose one's gender and one's sexual and social identities, to embrace a radical outsider's perspective, to create culture on our terms and to challenge everything that's sickening about the dominant culture around us" \n--Matt Bernstein Sycamore


I believe what Lou Dobbs said: In order to get control of immigration we must first get control of our borders.  This is way out of control. What do we need to do to band together, become one VERY STRONG voice, take back our country. Heck, even my own governor (Florida) comes on TV in hurricane season and does two versions - one in English and then one in Spanish!  Can you believe it!   It is true! Anyway, let's find a way to come together as one unified group of bona fide Americans who have pledged allegiance to ONLY the American flag, speak English as our primary language and have the desire to keep America what she should be for our children's children!  (Just like our forefathers  did for us)

$500 Gulf Coast Recovery bond.  Issued 3/2006.

The way bonds work, you only get the face value at the end of the term, if you are to sell it early, then you have to accept market price which may be more or less than $500. The market price depends on the coupon rate, which is how much money your bond is getting you, for example, if you get $50 a year, that is a %10 coupon rate, VS, the market rate, which is the yield being traded in the market. So if you your coupon rate is higher than the market you can sell it over $500 if less, than  opposite, but if it was issued last March, very little probably changed and you would probably get from $490-510 for selling it.


Open the OT at random. No, I mean it..go now, open yr KJV and flip open somewhere near the begining.Chances are you will read a tale of slaughter, a very great slaughter or just a middling slaughter. If yr lucky, you will read about incest,sodomy, murder, or some other act condoned by Yahweh, and we're supposed to believe this is the loving god of creation talking to these semitic tribes!!! And they wonder why they are persecuted! OR AM I TAKING THINGS OUT OF CONTEXT? AM I SATAN CHILD????

The reality is, as you are so correctly noting, that anyone can take the bible and use it to back up or justify just about any opinion.  So simply quoting some text out of context is no way to settle anything.  It is a waste of time.\n\nBetter, consider the overall theme and purpose of the bible which is simple that people come closer to God by coming closer to people.  So the point is we are to be kind to one another and work at getting along.\n\nStay nice.  Stay happy.


And why would God make people with faults? Why wouldnt God just make people who are perfect and send them straight off to Heaven?

A good question! \n\nI expect you'll get a lot of the "free will" answers, but what about in Heaven, after death? Will we still have free will there, or will be be "robots"? If we have free will in Heaven, does that mean that we can sin while we're in Heaven? If we don't have free will in Heaven, does that mean that we will then be "robots" for eternity? And if we can be "robots" there, then, why not here, now?
