I'm trying to create a video uusing Adobe Premiere Pro 7, and can't figure out how to use the built-in effects that come with Premiere. I've found the menu, and can see all the built-in effects, but can't figure out how to apply the effects to a clip. Any help?

Make sure you have a clip in your timeline before we get started.  Also make sure that your Effects pallet is active by clicking Window-->Effects.\n\nTwirl open Video Effects and find the effect that you want to apply to your video.  Click and drag the filmstrip icon to the left of the Effect name in the Effects pallet onto the video in your timeline (not the audio).  The video will become bold immediately before you drop the effect.  Once it is dropped, you can edit the effect in the Effect Controls pallet by the monitor.\n\nHope that helps.

The government system is so mess up. Anyone who feels the same? People do not want to work and rather live off the government and have everything handed to them. These people most often have tons of kids and are simply lazy. what is wrong with this society. Why should I have to work to pay them DEADBEATS so they can make a living.

Where are your sources that give you the qualifications to determine that? So I guess your just going to have to be sick about it. Pay your taxes just like everybody else does so you can live hear too.


It it psychological? Neurological? or something else?

Maybe there are more schizophrenics in big cities than else where. There are too many to keep under control. So they go around wandering the streets talking to their "friends." Sounds like fun. I have lots of "friends" too.


I know they picked up Jerivious, and drafted lots of defensive players

They are beginning to acquire some talent at the skill positions of offense which helps. Of course Droughns can't play with handcuffs on, so he'll have to get things together or the Browns will again be without a running game. \n\nTheir Defense is still not very good at all. And who the heck is going to be their QB this year? \n\nWith the defending Super Bowl champs in their division, a very good Cincinnati Bengals team, and a strong but weakening Baltimore Ravens team, the Browns should be the doormat of the AFC North again this year.


I am preparing for a marathon.  I do not have a time line yet and am working on the training plan.  I am in the early stages of preparing.  I currently run a 5k in about 18 minutes.  Ready to move on to something more intense.  Any advice for diet, foods, workouts, and cross training?

Watch the movie Saint Ralph. It will inspire you for the marathon. Really good movie.


Do children get an automatic ticket of entry into heaven? If there is such a thing...I have heard if a baby is not christened then they go to pergatory, how can a child who is innocent, go now where?

I have always thought that was an absurd thing myself.  How can an innocent child be damned like that?  Personally, I did not have my child baptized.  I have taught her to be open minded and if SHE wants to explore getting baptized into a religion of HER choice, she can do that when SHE deems to.


3 scoring lines, very good defensemen, and One Hot goalie !

The Buffalo Sabres are the team of destiny. They are a collection of so-called "nobodies" who are setting the hockey world on fire. The Sabres are young, talented, fast-skating, hard-working and best of all, they are a team with a capital T. As you suggested in your comments, they have balanced scoring lines, a solid defense and a red-hot rookie goaltender. I honestly believe they can and will win the Stanley Cup -- and my God, do the long-suffering sports fans of Western New York ever deserve that!\n\nLET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!!

She responds to the new name- it's very similar, but how will the old owner feel? She was no longer able to care for the animal, but will see it on occassion.Protocol here?

I got a dog at 5 yrs. old and changed her name from lucy to lacy. I think as long as you keep the close to the original name the dog will do fine. As far as old the old owner, the lady who had this dog was suppose to visit Lacy too and it's been almost 2 yrs. and hasn't yet so, maybe this lady won't either.Good luck with you new pet.

ELEVEN PEOPLE ON A ROPE \n\nEleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter, ten men \nand one woman.\n\nThe rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided \nthat one had to leave, because otherwise they were all going to fall. \nThey weren't able to name that person, until the woman gave a very \ntouching speech.\n\nShe said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because, \nas a woman, she was used to giving up everything for her husband and \nkids, or for men in general, and was used to always making sacrifices with \nlittle in return.\n\n\nAs soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping \ntheir hands.......


How do you people feel about Jeb Bush being president in 2008? Personally I am totally against the idea of having another Bush running the country cause America has totally been falling apart since George Bush decided to go after Iraq and he seems to be a totally egomaniac, I am totally anti-George Bush and it sickens me that we have an evil corrupted man as a president, Bill Clinton was a much better president than that.

Umm, first of all, I should point out that the next election isn't until 2008... and I am quite sure that Hillary Clinton will run, and she has my vote.\n\nAs for good ol' Jeb... no way in HEL* will we screw up this country any more than it already is by letting another Bush take over this country.  That's were America messed herself in the first place.... \n\nMy George W. took over his Daddy's war from Dessert Storm of 91' and look were we are!  $40.00 to fill up my little Sun Fire?  Gas, milk, bread... everything has gone up but our paychecks....\n\nDidn't mean to rant and rave... but our President SUCKS!  IMPEACH BUSH!

USA should stop helping everyone around the globe and help their own! You should help someone who will help their selves. I feel like for some unfortunate reason a person may become homeless or not have food. I believe we should help them get on their feet, but the ultimate goal is they go to work and make it on their own. If they are disabled or to old to work then extend the help!


Hi I am plaaning to take 40days tour around the eastern half of the US using a bicycle, and I was just wondering whether I can camp in a state park.  I do not wish to stay in a camp ground because:\na. I am too broke\nb. They are mostly constructed for the campers with cars.\n\nBasically i am going to be a free camper for a little bit over a month and i was just wondering whether this is legally okay.\n\nDo I have to check up with individual parks?  What is the general rule?  If I can camp, can I use my gasoline stove to cook?  \n\nIf you have any other tips I will appreciate your sharing : )

Typically, camping in state parks is illegal outside of the designated camping areas and the rangers will check and cite you if you're camping out of bounds. I would recommend checking out the state parks on your path, you should be able to access this information via the internet, and find those parks that have primitive camping facilities. These are facilities that are specifically designed for those who are backpacking and tent-camping. You will most likely still have to pay for using these campsites, but the fee is small, like $6 per night for a primitive site. \n\nAs for your gasoline stove...you could probably use it, but I would just use a good old fashioned camp fire. It will work just as well for cooking, will provide you with warmth during the cooler evenings and will definitely not be something that you have to lug around with you as you make your journey.


The other guy Was a curiosity of mine and his .. so we banged and then we really liked it now it's weird because I compare my b/f to him (not to his face) but in my head... Y is sex differnet with this other guy then my B/f?

WHY?  Only you can answer that... is he better is he worse?  Why do you keep going back to him?  \n\nMy only guess is that maybe since it's supposedly so bad and not allowed the "danger" is what's attracting you (may not even be the sex itself).  Did you think about that?


For instance, if we built homes with solar panels to turn light into electricity, an we do this on a large scale,  what effect does that have on the environment that normally would absorb that energy?

Actually, it supon us to judge whether the energy used up is taken as GOOD or WASTED...\nbut our (humans) point electric energy is not considered as harmfull...<for more clarification contact me>

i consult doctor and many people all says that my vomiting is not stoped upto 9 month but it is very critical to my unborn baby and me also

I agree with the other poster.  Most women begin to feel less sick after the 3rd month.\n\nIf your doctor's not worried about it, you probably shouldn't be either.  Your baby isn't going to starve.  He's going to get the nutrition he needs whether you do or not.  And your doctor won't let you starve, either.  \n\nLike the other poster said, try to avoid situations that aggravated your nausea and try not to worry.

Attack on WTC was in 9 11, how come in that date and are there any relation between this date and the phone #911 (which is for the US police)?

Many people say so, more than that they say it is related to osama bin laden, it is "beleived" to be one of his sons birthdays, though ya you could be right it could be... personally i think it has more to do with the phone number..\nand i also came to know about the 20 dollar bill.. ya that person is right. 9+11=20 and if you fold a 20$ bill then you get a picture of the pentagon and the world trade centre burning... her i have a link for you.. check it out.. its nice.... -

Last year i got two felonies. They were at two different arrest but i was tried for both at the same time. I know that both are supposed to happen at the same time in order to have both expunged but if i got tried for both at the same time do i still qualify to have them both expunged at once?

getting expunged if TOUGH. i have one felony from 20 yrs ago that i have tried twice just to get pardoned for and the state is making it imposible almost. and they only let you try again after 18 mo. so it takes years complete.\nexpunged is where YOU prove that you were not guilty. and it gets erased from your record\npardoned is where you get... "excused" from your crime and you get all your rights back. but its still on your record\ndepending on the state and what the rules are. contact the capitol and they will tell you/send info on what you need to do and supply them for proceedings to start in either case.\ngood luck. both are hard roads\none easier than the other.\nbut, you like me.... made stupid decisions before and this is the price you pay.

When I was a kid there would sometimes be 7 or 8 in a season.\nThe season was shorter and there were half as many teams and\nhalf as many pitchers as now. And sometimes the same pitcher would do it several seasons in a row. Warren Spahn did it at\nleast 12 times. Even the best today don't

A few reasons. 1). The five man rotation which cuts down a pitcher's starts to around 30-32 games a season. Up until the start of the 162 game era, pitchers could routinely pitch 38-40+ games a year. Cy Young started 906 games in his 20+ years as a pitcher. 2). To protect their multi-million $ investments, teams "baby" their pitchers so they rarely pitch on less than 3-4 days rest or throw in between starts. Which leads to 3). More time on the DL (and less starts) because they don't throw as much to build up arm strength and brings us to 4).The pitch count. You think Warren Spahn was ever pulled after throwing 110 pitches? Which gave birth to 5). The advent of the middle relief specialists. You can thank Tony LaRussa for bringing in a left handed reliever in the 7th to face one batter. Go 8 innings with the lead and you control your chance to win. Get pulled in the 6th or 7th and you leave it to a guy who couldn't cut it as a starter. A 20 game winner used to be the gold standard. Now it's 15. Who said today's players are much better than the players from the past?

I think it's really inaccurate. I've gone to various websites searching for the weather for where I live and I got different results at each site. What do you think? Also, do you know of any websites that give somewhat accurate results?

Weather is a chaotic system; predicting it is difficult and only as accurate as the input data. Most TV and newspaper weather is very generalized - mass media is just entertainment and advertising, so you really shouldn't expect more than that. Military and agricultural forecasts are much more accurate but aren't free. It's been mathematically demonstrated that, even with the very best data possible, weather forecasts will never, ever be able to predict much more than 14 days out. Beyond that, things are just too chaotic.\n\nFor an example of truly accurate non-media weather forecasts, checkout SkyBit:\nhttp://www.skybit.com/cgi-bin/nav.cgi


What was the message about ?\nHow do you know it was comming from there ?\ndid you record it or how are you planning to test if it's real?\nwasn't it just a wrong number ? (regardless of the fact it was evp or not ).

Psych discharge was once the easy way out, but they recently made a rule that even socio-paths are not immune to deployment.  A fun way is setting up a homosexual act that a third-party soldier catches you on tape.  This is a general discharge that is upgraded to honorable after one year.  "Food for Freedom" also no longer works, and is bad for your health.\n\nYou can also refuse to take your vast smorgasbord of innoculations they try to force into your arm.  They'll scare you with all kinds of legal stuff, but a quick trip to the JAG office will set you straight on what they really can do to you.


Hi, I had for a long time the PC game NHL 2002. I liked that song alot, and now everytime I play, I spent more time listening than playing. Does anyone know the band/bands who was on PC NHL 2002? Plz, I just want the name and the song's name. Remember, NHL 2002 for PC, not XBOX OR PS2. Would really appreciate it if found the answer. THX.

Try this link, it tells you which bands appeared in the game, but nothing about the songs. It's something, though...

Gotta story to tell? I would love to hear. I'm in for a good scare!!! :]

As a child the chandelier used to swing from side to side, and the radio would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.\n\nOne time on a camping trip I was walking back from the bathrooms at that moment right between day and night and I saw someone walk across the front of the site and stop behind a tree. So I figure one of the people is going to jump out and try to surprise me, so I pull out my flashlight, walk up to the tree, turn on the light, and there's no one there.\n\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked a mobile hanging motionless, and said, "If there is anyone else here, make the mobile spin." The next moment, the mobile began to spin.\n\nOne time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a large camping gathering, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, clearly visible to everyone, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nOn another camping trip, we felt a spirit near the bon-fire. We had a ring of 40 tiki-torches around the bonfire. It was a still and windless night, but all the tiki flames near the spirit bent in. One of the people in the circle had a fancy camera. After the campout she went to get the film developed, and all the photos from before the visitor turned out, but after that all the film was blank. She took the camera in to be repaired. The repairman asked if she'd been in a nuclear power plant. All the innards were fried from electromagnetism\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."


What do think about the movie?\n\n\n(hint: overthehedgemovie.com   Go to "video")

It has some properties of a living organism...

I'm a firefighter, and I'd have to say it is... It eats, it breathes, and it grows. There are even waste products from what it eats. It moves, it can jump. It even sometimes appears to think. I'm not saying it's cognizant or self-aware or anything.\n\n   It can be killed, although it will try to hide if it can. It's an interesting critter sure enough, but if we're going to compare it to an animal, we need to compare it to a wild animal. It will injure, maim, and kill in a heartbeat if it gets the chance.


our school is freaking retarted, they block totaly legitimate websites. For example, and this is just one example, i could go on for hours on how stupid they are... i was trying to look up information on world war 2, and every site that mentioned the word "nazi" is blocked. I cant look up anything except check my email, or look at google images... i need to find away, its driving me crazy being sent to a computer lab to do work when i CANT DO ANY!

I prefer CDs to cassettes but I prefer video cassettes to DVDs?

No.  That is how I am too.\nCD's provide an easier access to the specific song you want.\nDVDs are just plain confusing!!!  It takes forever to get to the menu and then someone accidentally hits a wrong button on the remote, etc.\nVideos all the way!


does it do anything to your skin if you rub it on too much

maybe if you rip it apart...why, u planning on "sticking to someone like glue"


If this is what you mean\n8x/(3x-5) - (6x-3)/(3x-5)?\nthen you already have a common denominator\n= (8x-(6x-3))/(3x-5)\n= (8x-6x+3)/(3x-5)\n= (2x+3)/(3x-5)


Jesus, the Jewish prophets, and even Paul never even comment on the responsible love a gay man or lesbian feels for another.\n\nThe Bible is completely silent on the issue of homosexual orientation. And no wonder. Homosexual orientation wasn't even known until the 19th century.\n\nThe discovery that some of us are created and/or shaped in our earliest infancy toward same-gender attraction was made in the last 150 years. Biblical authors knew nothing about sexual orientation. Old Testament authors and Paul assumed all people were created heterosexual, just as they believed the earth was flat,\nthat there were heavens above and hell below, and that the sun moved up and down.\n\nIn 1864, almost 3,000 years after Moses and at least 18 centuries after the apostle Paul, the German social scientist Karl Heinrich Ulrichs was the first to declare that homosexuals were a distinct class of individuals.

I'm a Christian and I am not "opposed to gay people". But when you tell me these two things then I have to respond in what I hope is a compassionate manner.\n\n"The discovery that some of us are created and/or shaped in our earliest infancy toward same-gender attraction was made in the last 150 years."\n\nThat may or may not be true although for the sake of discussion let's say that it is. Many people have a tendency towards a particular form of behavior. When they get old enough to make mature decisions they have to decide whether that behavior is beneficial or not and since we are talking about God, whether that behavior is in His will for their life or not.\n\nSome people seem to be born with a terrible temper and are prone to violent behavior. They either end up controling their urges or they reap the consequences of giving in to them. It could be a struggle that they have for their entire life and one that they cannot always win. Hopefully they don't commit murder or just give up and make themselves a menace to those with whom they come into contact.\n\nJust because homosexuality isn't exactly the same doesn't mean that there are not legitimate parallels. Someone who finds themself attracted to members of the same sex still makes a choice about how they are going to deal with that emotion just like someone who is prone to anger.\n\nWhen you talk about not bringing up the "Adam and Steve" argument I have to go outside of the guidlines you want to impose on this discussion. It is apparent from the command God gave to Adam and Eve to go forth and multiply that He created men to have sex with women for the purpose of procreation. God also made sex an enjoyable encounter between two people as an added bonus. So where does that leave today's "Adam" if he is not attracted to any of the "Eves" in this world but instead finds himself attracted to the "Steves" around him?\n\nThe book of Corinthians provides at least one answer to that question and Jesus spoke of another for those who were able to receive it.\n\n1 Corinthians 6:9  Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,  (10)  nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.  (11)  And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.  (12)  "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be enslaved by anything.  (13)  "Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food"--and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.\n\nIn this passage the Apostle Paul is speaking to relatively new believers who have been born again by the Holy Spirit. He talks about how some of them USED to be things like drunkards and men who practice homosexuality.\n\nWhen I came to Christ at age 43 I had been a drunkard for many years and had developed a chemical addiction to alcohol. I haven't had a drink since a short time before becoming a Christian but it was a real struggle for me until I was born again. That doesn't mean that I'm never tempted to drink or that I've lost the desire to have a cold beer on a hot day but it does mean that now I have supernatural assistance to overcome my struggle.\n\nI don't go around telling people about how Jesus made wine for the guests at a wedding and how I would be justified in drinking since it's not illegal and doesn't hurt anyone else. Instead I know that it's not in God's will for my life to drink alcohol and so I consistently make the choice every day of my life


America is currently over 8 trillion dollars in debt. many people are asking what Bush has done to help that number. Well that number has been growing over the last 230 years. No president has done anything to imporove it. So why is everyone blaming Bush?\nYour Opinion?

Because people in today's society are too self-absorbed to truly admit to any responsibility. That's why they are so far in dept. And who better to blame than the President? To those of you out there who are in serious debt, watch out. In about the next two years the economy is going to shift in a way this country has never seen. Dump as much debt as you can or lose everything you (the bank and creditors) own.


What should i get him?? We have gone through some rough times but we have made it really far..i want to get him something really nice but not too expensive something he will remember forever what should i get him?? i want it to be the best!!

This is a developmental course which requires a 75% final average. My current grade is 75%. My test grades were 95,65,67,47, and 87.

If your current grade is 75%, that includes your 72.2% average (add your 5 tests, 361/5) from tests and your good homeworks, etc.\n\nYou need a 75% to meet your needs. So you need to study to improve your odds.\n\nNow, if you wanted to get technical, we could figure out the standard deviation... and then see how many standard deviations 75% is above the average; but, even if I knew that, I'm not very good at figuring out the percentage distribution above average that would be.  But, let's give it a shot.\n\nvariance = sum(x-average)^2/n \n         = (sum(x^2) - 2n*average^2 + average^2)/n\n         = (sum(x^2) + (-2n + n)*average^2) / n\n         = (27517 + (-5)*72.2^2) / 5\n         = 1452.8 / 5\n         = 290.56\nstd. dev. = sqrt(variance) = 17.04582\n\n66% of your tests might fall in 72.2 +/- 17 (55..89)\n95% of your tests might fall in 72.2 +/- 17*2 (38..102)\nthat's just the oddity of std. dev.'s, so pardon :)\n\nso, 2.8 (75-72.2) is 0.1642631 (2.8/17.04582) std. dev. above which is probably just past the average, so it's well below the 83% (1 std dev above)and slightly above 50% (0 std dev).  Even if it was 0.1642.. of (83%-50%) then that's about 56.6%  So study hard, and you're get above your average quite a bit.  If you don't study, you'll fall below.  Good luck.


insert video clip or image in oracle8i using blob

I'm not sure what language you are wanting to use to store this but you can store media in a database (8i) using a Oracle BLOB. Assuming your using Java if you go to java.sun.com or google and search for "jdbc blob" or "8i jdbc blob". It works pretty much like storing anything else.

From a Muslim Women, Islam means submission to Allah.  It is a peaceful religion.  The five pillars of Islam are:\n\n1) To fast. Because in Islam, fasting deals with more than not eating food. It's supposed to cleanse our heart, and allow us to focus on God. We are supposed to abstain from many other things than just food (i.e...derogatory music/movies, cussing..things of that nature). It also give us a truer sense of how impoverished people feel. You don't really get a true sense of their hunger by cutting down on food, but by abstaining from food from dawn to dusk. Also, fasting in Islam is to teach us self-control. After we break our fast, we should not gorge down on food, but remember why we fast in the first place. Fasting also allows us to feed our hungry fellow Muslims. At the Mosque, someone usually prepares Iftar, which is food for breaking the fast and we believe that person receives many blessings because they are feeding the hungry. See, there are many reasons we fast in Ramadhan.\n\n2)To Make Hajj\n\n3)To give Zakat. Zakat is charity to the poor.  Islam prescribes a system of Zakaat (obligatory annual charity). If every rich person in the world gave Zakaat sincerely, poverty will be eradicated from this world. Not a single human being would die of hunger. Furthermore, Quran encourages rich people in several places. to spend their wealth on poor peoples other than the compulsory 2.5 % amount E.g. 2:254 , 8:3-4 , 3:92 , 9:99 , 2:3, 2:195, 4:39, 13:22, 14:31, 22:35, 28:54 2:43, 2:83, 2:110, 2:177, 2:262-265, 2:267, 2:270-274, 2:277, 3:92, 3:134, 4:39, 5:12, 5:55, 9:5, 9:18, 9:60, 9:71, 9:121, 21:73, 22:41, 22:78, 24:37, 27:3, 30:38-39, 31:4, 36:47, 41:7, 47:36-38, 51:19, 52:40, 57:7, 57:10-12, 63:10, 64:16-17, 73:20, 76:8, 92:18, 98:5, 107:7\n“And establish the Prayer and pay the Due-alms and bow with those who bow“\n(Quran 2:43)\n" The alms are only for the poor and the needy, and those who collect them, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free the captives and the debtors, and for the cause of Allah, and (for) the wayfarers; a duty imposed by Allah. Allah is knower, Wise." \n(The Holy Qur'an 9:60).\n^ Taken from Taimur's answer. I emailed him telling him so:)\n\n4) To Pray 5 Times a Day.\n\n5) To say Shahada which is "There is no God but Allah and Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessing be upon him) is his Messenger."\n\nAlso Muslim women should wear the Hijab.  The Hijab is not a sign of oppression for women. It also does not symbolize weakness. The Hijab represents our faith. It represents our strength. We don't conform to what society wants us to do. Imagine the number of stares Muslim women get and they still wear it. Muslim women are aware of the negative connotation surrounding the Hijab but they understand the meaning behind it and still wear it. It takes a strong women to do that. Also, the Hijab puts Muslim women on a pedastal. The Quran tells Men to lower their gaze. It allows Men to focus on our faith, our personality, and who we are rather than our beauty or lack thereof. It prevents us from sexual desires with people we do not know. It is like women are precius gems that should not be touched. I am a Muslim woman and I thank Allah that I am.\n\nAnd here are some verses from the Quran that forbids anger and preaches patience:\n125. Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.\n126. And if ye do catch them out, catch them out no worse than they catch you out: But if ye show patience, that is indeed the best (course) for those who are patient.\n127. And do thou be patient, for thy patience is but from Allah. nor grieve over them: and distress not thyself because of their plots.\n128. For Allah is with those who restrain themselves, and those who do good.


i was trucking , my best friend asks if he can stay at my place due to taking schooling and was too far of a drive to get up and drive to write a test his last day..i said he could ..my girlfreind at the time who i lived with .said he could as well..when i got home she said he never did stay ..months later i found out he did ..it took her ten yrs to admite he stayed ..when asked why she lied to me she said she was afraid i would have accused her of sleeping with him...i never ever accused her prior to this ..so dont know why she would think that.

I'm sorry to say this but there is some guiltyness going on here. Since this was so long ago maybe you should just let it go.


someone tell me it's can give love spiritual and it usefull

Hi, Six pakc abs what we see in the cover pages of fitness magazine is not a day's work out.\n\nNor by consuming the supplements what they are posing.\n\nIt is the tireless work out in the GYM. \n\nResistance training to increase the BMR and hypertrophy with the ideal combination of cardios and stretches you can attain this.\n\nBefore that you shoud check out in which category of body combination you falls.\n\nHmm.. u can mail me if you want a well structured fitness program.\n\nHave a healthy life


Actually it was the entire Eccumenical Council, which met seven times, only two of which were at Nicea. The point is, they were charged with setting church doctrine, including deciding which gospels to include in the Orthodox Canon.\nIt's one thing to say that the author of the Gospel of Luke, for example, was inspired by God, and therefore infallible. But to accept the entire Bible as infallible, we must assume that all 312 members of the Council were also infallible, or else they could have selected the wrong books. \n\nDoes it say somewhere in the Bible that everyone who attended the Eccumenical Councils was infallible, or Divinely Inspired? Could you please quote the chapter, verse, and translation where you found this passage?

There is no evidence at all that the Council of Nicea was infallible. There is no evidence at all that what we presently have as "the Bible" is what G_d intended mankind to have as the total picture of the message to humanity from G_d. When one reads, as a example, The Gospel of Thomas, it's clear that the sayings there are for the most part the earliest and clearest renditions of the words of Jesus the Christ. I say that first of all because of how they hit my inner man and the Holy Spirit within me and secondly because they are the only words attribited to Jesus the Christ that make sense and jibe with the historical record. The Jesus of the Roman Catholic approved Gospels is if not a total Systemoid, at least not very threatening. In fact its impossible to imagine that anyone encountering the guy in the four Roman Catholic Gospels would want to crucify him, BUT THE GUY IN THOMAS whould anger any entrenched powerful institution. He has the Hard edge to him of a prophet of G_d, just like one would expect Messiah to have.\n\nBut then I dont believe Pauls letters are scripture, nor do i believe he was a Apostle, or even a Pharasee.....So I'm a "heretic" so what?

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU. We appreciate the sacrifices you and yours have made. You did a good job. NO matter which war you were in.. You did NOT go in vain. We love you and are grateful to you, for our very way of life, and thank you certainly doesn`t come anywhere near letting you know how much you are a hero in our eyes..\n\nGod bless each and everyone of you and yours.. Good job.. Well done. You ALL rock!!!

thank you lots from a viet nam vet. you are the reason we have defended this country. your are the reason theyre doing it now. youre the reason why so many lost their lives. thank you.


I really like this girl I know but I'm not sure if she likes someone else or likes me. If she did like me how can I tell her how I feel or ask her out?

When you go out on dates, she insists on paying for stuff on an equal basis. ( ie : you pay this time, she pays next time). However if she pays for her own stuff every time, that means she probably isn't interested in you sexually, doesn't want to lead you on, and doesn't want to feel indebted to you in any way.\n\nShe shows a strong interest in your life, asking a lot of questions about your hobbies, family, job, etc.\n\nShe changes something about her appearance just because she knows it will make you happy ( for instance, she gets a new haircut, starts wearing shorter skirts).\n\nShe offers you a sip of her drink, or takes a sip out of yours (Essentially she's telling you she's willing to swap saliva with you !).\n                           and if u wanna ask her\nThere are several cheesy techniques you can use to lower your chances of rejection (such as making a bet with a girl and the loser has to make them dinner) but these kinds of games are unnecessary. If you are straightforward, and don't beat around the bush about what you want, a girl will respect and admire your confidence.\n\nOptimally, you would ask her in a face-to-face setting. However, if that is not possible, either because the opportunity won't present itself or because you aren't confident enough, your best alternative would be over the phone.\n\nAvoid, at all costs, asking through email or any other written medium (Instant Messenger, a note, etc.). Not only do these methods scream "CHICKEN!" they also leave behind a paper trail that may or may not come back to haunt you.\n\nOne way to avoid looking like an idiot is to have something in mind to say for these three possible reactions to your question so you won't be caught off guard :\n\nIf she says "yes"\n\nHave a plan in mind; know your schedule and have an idea to suggest.\n\nIf she says "no"\n\nDon't act shocked or offended. Just be like, "Alright." Then carry on the conversation as if you never asked. Be friendly and polite. Too often guys take a "no" personally and get ticked off. Girls don't admire or respect a negative reaction. The fact that you were able to brush off her rejection so easily may actually raise her interest.\n\nIf she says "some other time"\n\nHave a plan B in case she is busy. If she still acts like she has too much to do it's probably because she's not interested and doesn't want to hurt your feelings. Accept it as a rejection and move on.\n\nOf course, you go into it expecting her to say "yes" but it's, as with most things in life, it's important to be prepared for the worst. \n\nTips on how to ask a girl out\nThe real key to getting women to say "yes" when you ask for the date IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO YOU.\n\nIf a woman is attracted to you then why wouldn't she want to go out on a date with you ? It makes sense but most guys don't think of it that way... they miss the point and focus on "how to ask" rather than focusing on raising her attraction.


I am a very charming and sweet guy so sweet I put hersheys out of business i spoil my ladies and treat them like a queen. so yes a great personality goes with this great body so who would like to date me


The custodial parent on the child support papers...does that person have legal custody of the kids?  Can the non-custodial parent get in trouble for taking the children?\n\nThe parents have not been to court over custody, but isn't that what the custodial parent is?  The legal guardian?

Not necessarily. For 12 years I was the custodian of my son, however did not have legal custody until I went to court to get it. This of course was in Alaska and in Alaska you do not have legal custody of your children unless it is awarded to you in a court of law. Each state is different. But without a custody order, no parent has legal custody and each parent has a right to equal access to the child.

i know pheonix is one of them, but is she the most powerful? Xavier is super powerful but its never stated that pheonix is more powerful, but he couldn't control her. does that mean she's higher than him? she's way more powerful than magneto and all the other level 3 mutants like pyro. and what about jubilee? shes insane in the comics, is she on the same level as jean?

Apocalypse is the all powerfull mutant that all X-Men fear. I find it strange though that they never even mention him in any of the movies... :-?


I'm 8 months pregnant and have contracted Rotavirus... does anyone know if this is particularly dangerous at this stage?  I'm trying to stay well hydrated, but there's not much else I can do that I'm aware of...

Hi there...I'm not aware of any dangers but just let it runs its course.  Sometimes women need to be concerned when they get a virus early on, say in the first trimester.  But your baby is probably in a good stage and in good health so I would only do what you should always do with a virus.  Rest, and plenty of liquids.


Do you think that people who hold alternative religious views are mentially unstable, in need of mental/emotional care, or need to be confined to a mental hospital for their own good?

Not at all. Remember, no matter what religion you believe, it was at one time the minority view and considered "alternative."  As long as the person is not following a cult, they should be allowed to worship as they choose. Some signs of a cult: members must sever all ties to friends and family who are not following the same religion (you can't even call your mom if she's not a believer), and members turn over all their worldly possessions to their religious leader.


Better than spending $825 for a system with a manual I suppose.


What do you do if your top departmental manager tells you that something is not your responsibility (its managers responsibitly), but your other managers are making you do it anyway.. My manager said this in front of the other managers so they knew, but because she wasnt there, they said it didnt matter, and were a team, and i should do it anyway.  Now this all started cuz a co-worker complained about me doing this instead of my primary duties.. If I side with my top manager I'm creating a lot of hostility (There was a big argument the other night, and I almsot walked out), however, if I just go by whatever managers on, what if this co-worker complains again??  I have a great relationship with all my managers, and I doont like being caught in the middle, cuz now I have half the management mad at me...  What should I do to maintain a good relationship with all my managers and my coworkers, and get this solved????

Your in a precarious position. I don't envy you. I would sit down with all of them, (have a managers meeting) and speak about what is happening. Don't play favorites, it might back fire big time. Be professional in your approach. I would say to them: "We seem to have a communication on what my duties are. I want to maintain a professional working environment and we need review what are my responsibilities. \n\nYou don't have to mention the coworkers comments to them. Let it slide. Once you have that meeting hammered out, then let the coworker know what the arrangements and duties are and how you will handle them.


i need some natural ways on how to sleep without taking medication

Don't drink caffeine after 3:00 p.m.\nDon't excercise within 2 hours before going to bed.\nTake a warm bath about 45 min. before going to bed.\nKeep your bedroom at a comfortable temperature- esp. not too hot, around 72-74 degrees is good.\nNo light in room, not even a nightlight or light from alarm clock, esp. don't get up after dozing off and turn a light on, interferes with melatonin production and throws your body clock off.\nTry a sound machine or fan- something with a soothing "white noise" type of sound.\nEat a turkey sandwich or warm milk before going to bed, helps your body produce tryphtotonin and serotonin.\nTry Valerin root and 2mg.melatonin\nDo deep breathing and guided imagery meditation before bedtime.


it seems that there's "metabolite 1" and "metabolite 2" . what's the difference?

A metabolite is any molecule that is produced in a metabolic pathway carried out in living cells, starting with a particular substrate and driven by some number of enzymes essential to completion of the pathway.  For example, the complete metabolism of the glucose molecule is driven by a large number of critical enzymes and coenzymes that produce a number of metabolites in the pathway leading to the end products, water, carbon dioxide, and ATP (the cell's chemical "money").\n\nWhen you speak of metabolite 1 and metabolite 2 you are probably referring to primary and secondary metabolites.  Primary metabolites are molecules that are essential to the normal growth, development, and reproduction of the organism.  Secondary metabolites may also have important functions, but are not necessarily essential.  Examples of secondary metabolites are pigment molecules in plants and animals and the substances produced by various fungi that act as antibiotics.\n\nAll of the biochemical reactions that take place in living cells make up the cell's metabolism.  In some pathways, described as catabolic, large molecules are subdivided into smaller ones, usually with the release of energy stored in the large molecule (e.g. glucose).  In other pathways, called anabolic, smaller molecules are combined to form larger ones (e.g. the formation of functional proteins from a directed sequence of their constituent amino acids.\n\nAll chemicals that enter the human body as drugs or environmental contaminants are by definition not strictly necessary for the normal function of the body.  Such chemicals may have direct effects on the body's normal physiology without any metabolic conversion.  The most familiar example of such a chemical might be ethanol, the effects of which are known to anyone who's ever taken a drink.  Other drugs and chemicals may also have direct active effects.  On the other hand, many drugs and chemicals must be converted into an active form before they can have a  physiological effect.  For example, the carcinogen vinyl chloride must be converted into chloroethylene oxide and chloroacetaldehyde, which have the capacity to bind to and alter nuclear DNA, for the carcinogenic effect to occur.\n\nConversion of "foreign" parent molecules into active or inactive metabolites takes place in primarily in the liver.  Liver cells contain a vast array of enzyme systems which have apparently evolved with our species to protect us from the harmful effects of potentially toxic chemicals in our food and in the general environment.  The primary effect of these enzyme systems, such as the cytochrome P450 system, is to convert potentially toxic chemicals into relatively harmless metabolites, which are then frequently conjugated with another molecule, such as glucuronic acid, making it easier for the body to excrete the metabolites via the urine.  Again, sometimes the metabolites produced by one of these enzyme systems may be more toxic than the parent molecule; or the parent molecule given as a medication does not become active until it has been processed by a liver enzyme system.  Ethanol is another example here; one of its metabolites, acetaldehyde, is more toxic than the parent alcohol molecule.  Usually acetaldehyde is rapidly converted to carbon dioxide in water; many East Asian people are deficient in the enzymes needed to process acetaldehyde, and so have a much more limited tolerance for alcohol than non-Asians.\n\nOne final note:  it is usually the products of metabolism of  many drugs that may be detected in a person's urine.  This is true for most illicit drugs and also for tobacco.  Each drug produces a characteristic metabolite or metabolites that are present in the urine for some period of time after ingestion of the drug.

I can't stand her!  I think she was the brains behind the Clinton presidency... but I just can't respect a woman who doesn't respect herself (if she did she would have left Bill Clinton a long, long time ago--but she just allows him to keep having affairs).  It'll be a sad day if she's elected the first female president--that is not what young girls should be aspiring to be like.


I have been sick for about a month with rashes ear infections the flu chest pain and bronchitis. No doctor can figure out what is wrong with me so i want to take maters into my own hands. If you know a website that can help me please email it to me skyluv86@yahoo.com.

Chances are if your doctor can't tell you what is wrong, it may not be on the internet, or, most likely, it will give you a false diagnosis.  My suggestion is to keep getting other opinions because different doctors will think differently about symptoms and it will probably require thinking outside the box on the part of the doctor to put two and two together.

Below is an exercise on commas, any help would be appreciated.\nWriting an essay might seem simple but is more difficult than most people realize.\nChildren who commit violet crimes can face severe consequences but they often receive mild punishment.\nI loaned my favorite book Green Eggs and Ham to my mother and she never returned it.\nErnest Hemingway's short story "Cat in the Rain" is one of my favorite stories.\nThe last day of the sememster was finally here but none of the students wanted the English course to end.

Commas often go into sentences at places where you would pause while speaking them, or if you 'change direction.'\n\nFor example.  "Children who commit violent crimes can face severe consequences (this is going one direction, but now it changes direction) but they often receive mild punishment.  The comma goes between consequences and but.\n\nRead the sentences aloud.  Where you pause, that's where a comma goes.\n\nAlso, commas denote asides, like if you're specifying things...for instance Green Eggs and Ham is a specification of your favorite book.\n\nI could simply put in all the commas you need, but you need to learn these things, and the best way to do it is to do it, so take what I've said and run with it.  Perhaps post it as a further information and give your reasons for having put the commas where you did.\n\nEdit: added: Or just take the answers that the others have given you...*shrug*

After dating for 5 months my boyfriend's female friend (who is very unattractive) invited him to her birthday dinner.  He asked that I join then he had to tell me just days before the dinner that she asked him not to bring me.   She felt he gave me too much attention when we are together.  It was her birthday and she wanted all the attention on her.  This friend asked a total 5 friends (guys and girls) to do the same.  They all agreed.  I am totally upset - Should I just deal with it?  I know he went because he feels sorry for her - he isn't attracted to her at all.  I just wanted him to stand up for me.  Am I expecting too much?

Sounds like she's single and doesn't want a bunch of couples in her face on her B-day. It's cool, not only you, she's jsut has low self esteem.


Yesterday, a number of you stated that mass commercialism was; "just did it for the cash or fame", or "WHISPERS OF THE DEVIL is basically what it is." and, "its all spawn of the devil to greedy man"...\n\nSo what about all the thousands of companies that sell Jesus key-rings, Jesus baseball caps, God's Heaven Coffee and all the 'What Would Jesus Do" merchandise? Plus websites like http://www.christianbook.com who advertise items such as 'Because He Lives T-Shirts', 'I Thank My God For You, Photo Totes' and 'Follow the Son-Folding Umbrellas'.\n\nSurely these people must have a belief in Jesus too, right?

Companies who manufacture and sell these religious artifacts usually make their money by praying on the ignorance of others. One only has to look in certain Churches today and view all the statues of Saints etc and observe the people who bow down to them. The Lord made his feelings clear in the 10 Commandments concerning both the making of statues and bowing down before them. As for all the other Items commercially offered today, the money spent on them would be better spent on buying Bibles and distributing them to people who either cant afford one or who simply don't own one.


I desperately need to know if anyone has had success with this company. So far all I've heard are not so good things. We gave them a good sum of money today with an attatched guarantee that our loan would be in our account within 3 hours. Needless to say, it's been 12 hours and still nothing. They are closed for the Holiday weekend, so I won't be able to speak with anyone until Tuesday, so in the meantime, I'm hoping to get some answers elsewhere. Has anyone had a positive experience with them where they have in fact recieved their loan? I'm hoping to hear yes! Thanks to all in advance.

An Axis victory in World War II was the:\n\n    driving of Germans from North Africa\n\n    invasion of Normandy\n\n    Doolittle's raid\n\n    Battle of Guadalcanal\n\n    attack on Pearl Harbor

The Axis powers were Germany, Italy, Japan and some other less influential allies.\n\nThe Allied powers were Britain, France, USA, China.\n\nJapan successfully bombed Pearl Harbor, so that is an Axis victory.\n\nJapan successfully invaded Guadalcanal and drove the Americans, Philippines, Australians off the island, so that was an Axis victory.\n\nJames Doolittle successfully bombed Japan, but it was a symbolic bombing: there wasn't any military victory achieved, which you could call an Allied victory.\n\nThe Allies successfully invaded Normandy, thus starting the drive to free Europe from the German Army, which was an Allied victory.\n\nBritish General Bernard Montgomery was successful in defeating the Germans in North Africa, so that was an Allied victory.

Wow, it’s hard to believe that so many people don’t take life seriously. Did you know that people spend more time on preparing their taxes then they do on preparing themselves for the hereafter? \n     The Darwinists believe we evolved. Did you know that now in the 21 century, DNA proves undoubtably that it is impossible for a fish to turn into a dog, or a dog to turn into a cat! How unbelievable it that!! Also, did you know that it was said that Charles Darwin was baptized on his death bed? Look it up me dares you!!! All I can say is good luck to all you unbelievers, I will pray for you!

I heard that Darwin's conversion was just a theory and was a story made up. I found a link on it and talks a bit about it, but I've heard it before. \n\nIt dosent matter, It dosent matter if Charles Darwin was baptised or not, Jesus is the Lord and died for our sins!\nI know this, in my heart!♥

You have the classic problem with the FoxPro event loop. FoxPro is now an event-driven language. When you are testing in the development environment Fox is continually waiting for your input. When you have an exe running outside the environment Fox runs through the main program, loads your forms but then continues to the end of the main program and halts. You need to add two commands to your project.\n\nAdd READ EVENTS as soon as you launch your form. This will tell Fox to go into its event-processing loop. \n\nAdd CLEAR EVENTS the the Quit button. This tells Fox to stop waiting for events and to contine execution from the line after READ EVENTS. If you forget the CLEAR EVENTS then you'll get a "Cannot quit Visual FoxPro" message and have to crash out of it with the Task Manager.\n\n\n\nI've got a longer explanation with screen shots at http://www.alvechurchdata.co.uk/fox101exe.htm

i was sent a notice of continuence of dui hearing listing me as a witness but not an official subpeona

No, you are not being compelled by the court to go...I think the prosecutor screwed up, or defense counsel, by not issuing a subpoena. (I don't know which side needs your testimony) Normally, when you are called as a witness, the attorney (either for the defendant or the state) will contact you and go over what you will be testifying to. If you don't go, they may have another continuence granted and subpoena you then. I would contact the prosecutor's office and ask about your attendance. Most of the time the prosecutor and defense counsel reach a plea agreement before the trial and you won't testify anyway.


Hi - \n\nI used to watch Will and Grace all the time, but haven't been able to in a while.  I just turned it on to see the last few episodes and Grace is Pregnant...WHOSE BABY IS IS?\n\nIs it Will's, Leo's, Who??

It's Leo's... Which she is actually still in love with.. they ran into each other on a plan and slept together... then when she went to tell him she was pregnant he told her he is marrying someone else... VERY SAD!\n\nI LOVE WILL & GRACE!! WOOHOO


In the earlier scenes , Shakespeare tells about lions in the streets and people going mad . In Scene 3 , with the attack on Cinna the poet , he shows something . What does he reveal about the psychology of a mob ?

The role that Cinna the poet is to demonstrate the irrational nature of the mob (or, mob mentality).  At first, the mob wanted to kill him because they thought he was Cinna the conspirator, but even after they find out that he was not involved in Caesar's death, they kill him anyways.  They decide to kill him because of his bad poetry.  He reveals that mobs can become completely irrational, will not be reasonable, and that their actions can quickly become brutal and savage.


I have played backyard football and I have played both Wideout and cornerback. But now I am going to highschool and I am only 5'2 well that was 2 years ago my height i am probablay 5'4 now. So what postion should I play? I have big strong arms and I can cath almost every deep pass but I think I am lacking height to play a wideout in Highschool. I Bench 84pounds. Work on my abs and everything and i have more muscle then most people my age. But should I play wide reciver or Dfenseive end due to my strenght and abilty to pass rush well. So any adive and also how would I build even more muscle then I have? I probalby weight about 120 pounds.

Your first move should be to walk into the coaches office and introduce yourself.  He will be able to help you determine where to focus...\n\nYou'll determine if you can catch, have speed and if you know how to run routes?\n\nStrength and height are meaningless if you can't catch the ball at wideout.  Also, it's not vital for you to know the plays so much as knowing the routes since the QB can tell you what to do on each play until you learn.  If you are unwilling to learn routes, maybe you need to go on on the other side of the ball.  If you can't catch or run (especially backwards!), then you can't be a cornerback since that is all you do (I played corner).  As a Defensive End, you'll be going up against some of the biggest kids on the other team AND the QB, who is usually the best athlete...if you feel you are strong enough go for it...\n\nMy advice is to start at WR...the team needs a bunch of them to run in plays, it's the easiest position since you only really need to know 10 pass routes to run and you usually go against cornerbacks who are only playing the position because they wanted to be WR's so you can beat them easily.\n\nGood luck!

Ergonomic keyboard IS really personal favor. Some might say brand A is better than brand B, or the other way around. I used it long time ago. It was awkward at the first time, but then your hands adjust to it, and you feel great sitting in front of computer finishing your tasks.\n\nBeside its look, i dont think ergonomic keyboard has disadvantages. However, that's my personal opinion only.


or just  more Questions than now?\nPeople who have no question now, would they finnaly ask something?

There are two types of people in the world: People who have questions and people who have answers.  I happen to have more answers than questions, so I don't think I would be different if there were no points.


Al Gore went to Saudi Arabia telling them Muslims were abused by the government after 9/11 and John Kerry said our troops terrorized Iraqi women and children.  If the democratic parties top candidates tell lies about our troops and government because of partisanship reasons, how can their anti-American rhetoric be honorable?  Aren't those blatent lies against this country treasonous?

I can't argue with you.  My opinion is that they are dishonorable and should be tried for treason.


ok is queen mab the queen of good dreams, nightmares, or both? explain?

In English folklore, Queen Mab is a fairy. She is memorably described in a famous speech by Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet, in which she is a miniature creature who drives her chariot across the faces of sleeping people and compels them to dream dreams of wish-fulfillment.

Especially since you did it the hard way and the legal way.\nI admire and respect you.  Can you not reason with the illegals and explain that it is not their color that is making people angry, but their illegal status.

Blanket amnesty would be very bad for the US.  The illegals proved on Monday just how much of a drain they are on the society.  They must be sent back.  As much as we would like to take in every stray cat that walks by, we must say no or else our country will be ruined.

My husband is starting chemo next week. We have heard everything we need from the doctors, but we want to hear from people who have actually been through it themselves. How long were the treatments? What was the worst part? How many courses did you go through? What treatments, if any, did you have other than chemo? What do you recommend for side effects, what isn't worth trying? Anything you can think of, it'll be nice to hear this stuff from someone OTHER than a doctor for a change. He has stage 3 spinal cancer if that helps.

Chemo is dreadful and the hardest thing is watching someone go through it. Within the last 10 years chemo treatment may have improved but I don't know. If your husband wants to smoke a lot of pot, then let him. It is brutal.

How many AAA batteries would you have to put in series and parallel to equal 12 volts and have 500 CCAs (cold cranking amps)?

In order to get 12V, you would need 8 AAA's in series (1.5V per).  Now, how many of those series combinations of batteries needs to be attached in parallel to safely provide the 500A?\n\n-AAA's have a rating of about 1000 mA-hrs = 1 A-hr (see Wikipedia source).\n\n-CCAs is defined as the battery's current draw for 30secs and not fall below a certain voltage (Battery FAQ).\n\nThe bare minimum number of parallel branches would be something like this: (A-hr ratings add in parallel)\n\n(500A)x(30sec/3600)= branches x 1 A-hr\nbranches = 4.17 => 5\n\nBut that would almost drain your battery pack within only 30 seconds, subject each branch to 100A (500amp/5), and probably force the voltage below 12V at some point.  I'm not sure what the safe current rating of AAA batteries is, but likely a little bit below 100A, haha.\n\nI would say well above 5 parallel branches to be re-usable/safe.  Maybe 500 branches would be safe and usable (though impractical).  Then you only have 1A through each branch and could start the engine about 120 times (30secs per start => 3600sec => 1hr).\n\nbatteries = 500 branches x 8 per branch = 4000... yikes


If not, what's the difference and what are participles?

A subordinate clause is a clause in a complex sentence that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and that functions within the sentence as a noun or adjective or adverb. A phrase is two or more words in sequence that form a syntactic unit that is less than a complete sentence. It's not technically the same thing as the subordinate clause depends on the rest of the sentence to be a subordinate clause. A phrase does not have to be.\n\nParticiples are a form of a verb that in some languages, such as English, can function independently as an adjective, as the past participle baked in We had some baked beans, and is used with an auxiliary verb to indicate tense, aspect, or voice, as the past participle baked in the passive sentence The beans were baked too long.


he only shot 3 in the second half when his team was way behind. where's the leadership? he shouldve gone out there and played his guts out. that might've inspired the team and maybe made a run. and this is coming from a suns fan.\n\ni think kobe threw the game because he sensed that the lead was insurmountable. he may have thought to himself "ok you guys think i shoot too much? then im not gonna shoot at all"\nthats nothing but a childish fit to me.\n\nif you want your team mates involved, then lead by example. make the shots to keep their confidence up, then pass. thats what nash wouldve done in the same situation. thats what MVPs do.\n\nkobe's in it for nothin but personal glory, and that will never amount to an MVP award.

He didn't shoot when his fans needed him because he was pissed critics say he shoots too much. He can tell anyone whatever but the truth is obvious. Very immature behavior.


a bunch of high school students started google


Limit children's activities in school or not participating in, examples:\n\nChristmas\nHalloween\nMother's Day\nFather's Day\nBirthday's\n\nPlease, let me understand the workings of this religion...

I have some of the answers; I will go through your list:\nChristmas- Not only the JW but many other denominations are against the commercialization of Christmas. Many people know that the celebration of Christmas on December 25 was just a catholic means to fool the pagans into using their celebrations of the winter equinox as a religious event. True Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus every day. The Bible doesn’t say exactly when Jesus was born, but if you have ever been to Israel you know that the shepherds are not watching there flocks by night all seated on the ground. Any shepherd worth his salt has his sheep in a shelter and he is home in front of a good fire as winter in Israel can get very cold.\nHalloween- This one should be obvious. Christians or even JW don’t allow for the celebrating of demons. \nMother’s day and Father’s Day- This is just basics, the commandments say we should honor our Father and Mother… That means all the time not one just a special day.\nBirthday- Here is where the JW’s get a little strange; in a birthday celebration for King Herod a young girl pleases him with her dance. He gives his word that she can have anything she wanted. What she wanted was the head of john the Baptist on a platter. Herod granted this wish. So the beheading of John the Baptist has been associated with birthdays so the JW’s do nothing to celebrate birthdays.

There is no such thing as time travel, it's a physical impossibility. The reason we haven't had any visitors from the future is because time travel simply cannot occur.

okay. if you have done a drug, will the chemicals remain in your SPINAL CORD FOREVER?..\n\nexplain

Not true.  It's commonly believed that the cause of psychedelic "flashbacks" is LSD that remains in the spinal cord.  In fact, LSD is completely excreted in the urine within a day or two.  Flashbacks are a completely psychological phenomenon.  The only substances that will remain in the body permanently are heavy metals (lead, lithium, gold, etc.).  \n\nHaving said that, LSD does bind to serotonin receptors in the spinal cord and brain, and can permanently damage these receptors.  While this is unlikely to occur with a single use, it's certainly a good idea NOT to damage your brain.


If that was all that was offered to you would you leave the country?

i would try to leave but what about your family if you had one?if i had a family and they always depended on me for their needs i would continue to work until all my babies were old enough to get jobs and get married.if they were named something other than sweatshops would they become different?i think not.i dont think very highly of them.low pay and bad conditions for working.however most workers are unwed mothers or the husbands are gone or they are dead beat dads. i hope one day that the whole world will be at peace with each other and no one has to need for anything.


i hav ebeen talking to a guy on the net 8 months....we have met and are very close......he wont say I love you , but he will give a gesture for I love you that we have made....does he love me ?  he says he has difficulty expressing his feelings.................

accept his difficulty...some people just cant express their love in words..\ni myself am brought up in a loving family, but we have never said 'i love u' verbally...only written and actions that show we love\nand today i find it hard expressing myself in person unless im really really really close to the person...a chance to open up more\ndont blame him if u dont hear what u want to hear\njust accept him and allow him space to learn how to express himself froom u. thats the beaty of love...u grow to express in each other


this guy at school is pretty popular and were wicked good friends.. the thing is i like him more than a friend... but im not as popular as him.. do i take a chance and tell him or do i jsut act like nothings going on?

yeah i think you should take the chance. try to make it in some way as to not scrwe up the friendship if it doesnt work out. actually before telling him i think you should try to get him to like you too, make compliments, but make them sound casual so that he wont be sure if you like him or not, then he'll wonder if he likes you or not too. it sounds complicated but it works all the time.


we are moving to oahu for the military and we are looking for rentals in kailua or kane'ohe. Found a few sites to look at. can anyone help with good advice on were to look with good schooling in the area?

Just to let you know it gets really expensive military housing might be a very good idea if you don't have a lot of money, I married a guy in the navy when he was stationed there and we found the smallest studio in kailua for $1000!  It was a room and a bathroom, with a shower a 2' sq.  And Kailua is one of the more expensive places to live I assume your stationed on KMCBH, my friend had military housing on the base and it was a nice apartment.


Does anyone know some good DJ's in Florida?


In 2002 I bought a cheap "sequencer" and messed around with it a bit. I loved making music with it, but it was very limited in what it could do, and so was my computer. What hardware/software do I need to start making good sounding music I can call my own? I even bought a cheap Yamaha keyboard from bestbuy but never used it b/c my computer had no midi input, not to mention I didnt have much money to invest in all of this, however now I can probably handle it. I gave my bro the keyboard, should I get it back? Like I know I need a sequencer, and I guess a soundcard with midi input? Anyways, so what do I need? and if you have suggestions of certain programs/hardware please guide me! Thanks

A keyboard sequencer is great but not nessisary!Your computer will do just fine,Cake walk pro is a great midi sequencer.Lol I first started sequencing midi files when all we had was an old Atari.Musicians loved it because it had a midi interface built in.on that I used cake walk,it installed from a floppy disk and Dr. T was great as you could really tweak each note,velocity etc.

Okay, so I am no expert with computers- I know the basics. I have a Powerbook G4 512 MB and I bought it off ebay for a very good price. However, I need to upgrade a few things for it.\nFirst off, it doesn't exactly have wireless internet (meaning I can use it almost anywhere in my house, but nowhere outside the realm of my room. I would like to take it anywhere with me, seeing as how I am a future college attendant.) I need to know what EXACTLY to buy, where to get it, where/how to install it,etc... \nAlso, I wanted to get a bigger memory upgrade. At least a 1 GB but I am a teenager and I love downloading music, videos, pictures, etc... so the highest I can get with a waitress's income is fine. Also, where to find it, where/how to install it, etc..\nAlso somewhat minor thing, my stupid little sister SAT on my computer and cracked the screen. I can still use it, but it's got blotches and cracks down it. A bit annoying. So, I need to find a new monitor. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I'm not too familiar with apples...but this is what i know for a generic pc.\n\nWireless.\n\nIn regard to wireless, you need a wireless adapter and wireless router.\n\nMost laptops nowadays have this. \n\nYou will have to find where your network settings are and this will indicate whether you have an adapter or not. Also go into a starbucks or somewhere where you KNOW there is a wireless router to confirm this. You won't know unless you are near a wireless adapter (unless you are pc savvy).\n\nIf you have a USB port on your laptop you can by something called a flash drive. Its a portable drive that you can store music on. They have them with 1 GB capacities.\n\nI dunno if you really need a RAM upgrade from 512 MB to 1 GB. Only gamers need this, in my opinion.\n\nYou can take it into comp USA and they can replace the screen for you. pity you have no warranty with the ebay purchase otherwise this could be fixed for free....


Well, I can answer my own question.  YES you can send a fax on colored paper, as long as it is light in color.  But, do you think enough people know that for me to assume it's common knowledge?  \n\nI'm making a bunch of copies people will need to fax back.  I would rather use the colored paper... Thanks

Unless it's a light color like you said it may not look as clean as it could when people try to fax it back... especially if it's coming from an older fax... most new printer/faxes can do full color faxes anyways, so for the newer machines it shouldn't be a problem...\n\nI think if people know they're supposed to fax back whatever it is you're giving them, they'll just load it into the fax without really thinking about it

suffer any skin diseases as a consequence or were they immune to them?

I think that early man (cavemen) had about as much hygiene as monkeys.  They were constantly on the move looking for anything to eat and not be eaten.  Life was very short and I don't think it was for some thousands of years before anything like hygiene was considered.  They didn't shave, bathe, wipe, have tissues to blow noses, etc.  They most likely had lots of skin problems including lice, ticks, and other parasites.  Not too glamorous.

I wanted to know if there was a specific move that worked good on the tummy and thighs?

good old fashioned crunches work great for your abbs as do planks (pilates movement).  squats and lunges are great for your legs.  these exercises will tone/tighten your muscles but it means nothing if you don't control your diet and reduce the layer of fat that is on top of the muscle.  follow a sound diet program in conjunction with your workout routine-look to cut about 500 calories per day to see results.


am trying to find a xp pro boot disc or windows xp genuine installer disc...any answers are appreciated!

Buy an authetic one from eBay.  It will be cheaper.  Instead of $300 for XP home edition, you can get it for about 80 to 90 bucks on eBay.\n\nOnce you get it, install it and you will have a clean and autheticated installation and full support from microsoft as well as your boot discs.

Im looking for some good diet plans to help me loose my baby weight, ive looked online but you have to pay for them. Im a vegetarian who eats no meat but does eat dairy products.

This one works for me. Cut out the dairy, don't use oil or fat when cooking, make sure you eat a big variety of things, eat only small amounts of oil rich foods (nuts, seeds, olives etc), eat lots and lots of fruit and veg and whole grains (brown rice, wholemeal pasta and bread) so you don't get hungry, and regularly do some exercise. It is important that you eat a wide variety of different things.

In device manager i keep getting this PCI INPUT ERROR, it ask me to install software. How do i know what PCI it is? From my understanding it can be a graphic card, ethernet, or sound card. Is their a program or somewhat for this?

That can be a difficult spot to be in, because Plug & Play has not determined what the device is, only that is requires drivers.  \n\nThis is what I believe the previous poster was alluding to, but was not very specific about what you need to do.  Most likely this is NOT a PCI slotted device at all.  Most likely, this is a component on the motherboard itself that utilizes the PCI bus.  Therefore, if you have the CD that has your drivers on it, you may be able to find the driver it's looking for.  \n\nThis may simply be the Northbridge drivers, or something similar. (An example would be if you have an Intel chipset and it wants those drivers. These are supplied by the manufacturer of the mobo.)  Be sure to install any drivers that came with your computer on CD, especially ones that run from setup files. Those tend to "blanket" install a bundle of necessary drivers and will often fix this kind of issue.\n\nNext, look for files of the .inf type and try each to see if windows recognizes the device.  If, when you point the unrecognized device to a particular .inf file it does not recognize it as being applicable, try another one.\n\nIt's tedious, but most likely, you will fix your issue after some trial and error.  \n\nIf that fails, you can try going to your manufacturer's website and downloading any drivers you do not already see installed.\n\nGood Luck!

are persons with diagnosed psychological disorders such as "Indigo", Asbarguers Syndrome, Autism, Bi-Polar disorder included? And if so, what accomodations would they generally be allowed?


Many people are married or have a stable relationship but beside they have a "special friend" Who is the person that  really is in love to ? The spouse or the "friend "

That is so because man is by nature not satisfied. Whether with money, material things, honor, prestige, and women. Money and women are the general weakness of many because they are the most tangible objects that have become status symbols. You cannot carry a badge or trophy or certificate telling the world that you are this and that. But with a woman, it not only proves the man's virility or machoism, it also means he is above other men in that he is attractive and capable of having more inspite of his having a wife already.

Plz...no smart ass remarks, I know our parents made us...but I mean how did the first humans come about.  I have my own opinions(I'm a Christian)...just wanted to know everyone eles's opinion.

MEIGHAN2006,\n\nIt is interesting that God created the whole universe and all the animals and plants, etc. by just speaking a word. When He made man, He got down in the dirt and planted a garden and then formed Adam from the dirt and breathed life – the eternal part – into him. Then He made Eve from one of Adam’s ribs.\n\nIt is amazing that God was able to make man and woman with a word, yet He showed love from the very beginning as He served His creation by planting a garden and then fashioning them similar to Himself. He has a heart to love and to serve and His rules for us are the same as the way He lives. He wants us to love and serve each other.\n\nIt is also interesting that He made water originate in the garden. The water didn’t flow through the garden, but came up from the ground in the garden and then formed 4 rivers leaving the garden. The garden was probably similar to heaven where there is water that flows from under His throne.\n\nIn my humble opinion, the living water in us is figurative of this water that flows from God’s throne. When we put ourselves on the throne, the flow is restricted or the water becomes stagnant. When God is enthroned in our hearts – when Jesus is our Lord, the living water flows freely. That is the abundant life.\n\nGod bless.

using Programmable Logic Controller to control  electrical machines

An automated system for controlling acces to an area.  If you use a simple set of sensors, a PLC and a program that says how many people, machines or boxes should enter an area, and you wire that to an alarm or an automatic door, you can make sure that only the number you programmed on the PLC can enter a building, a storehouse, etc.  This kind of project is easy to build and it can be very useful in almost any kind of industry.
