My ex-husband says that chiropractors are not real doctors. I argue that they have to go to college and earn a degree and have earned the title doctor.

In order to be accepted into any chiropractic college, students must take the same pre-requisites as any future medical student.  This includes 1 year of math, english, physics, and 2 years of chemistry (all with accompanying lab classes).  Chiropractic students receive a very similar education as medical students, with emphasis on diagnosis of many different medical conditions, lab work (blood or urine analysis), and basic sciences (physiology, pathology, basic anatomy, and neuroanatomy).  In addition, chiropractic students receive over 100 hours in palpation and technique courses, much more thoroughly than any Physical therapist or even MD attempting to 'manipulate' the spine.  Over 100 hours are also dedicated to learning radiology - how to take x-ray and interpret them - again, much more thoroughly than any medical student (those that are not specializing in radiology, of course).  So, yes, chiropractors are real doctors, and can recognize many different medical conditions and refer out appropriately.  Several studies have also shown that chiropractors are superior in dealing with musculoskeletal conditions (ie - neck pain and back pain), as well as other complaints than many MDs may ignore or cannot do anything about.

she seems that she likes me but says she doesn't, shes shown hints of liking me.... i dont know what to do!

Well if she says she does not like you than just ignore her if she really does like you than it will drive her crazy and she will admit that she does indeed like you.


Divorce is heart wrenching. Next to death itself it is the single gardest event anyone can ever go through. After such a horendous event in ones life such as myself, I wonder if I'll ever trust again, open my hard heart again or I should say my wounded heart. Can woman be trusted when you've seen the worst of them come out and you know what they are quite capable of, the UGLY!

I think about this almost daily, as I am currently going through a divorce myself, because of some unbeliveably UGLY stuff my husband has done.  I, as well, consider myself wounded, possibly to that same point of no return---from that hardened heart.  Only, I ask can any MAN be trusted.  When I read your question, it just hit me:  I know I, a woman, CAN be trusted.  Obviously, you feel that you can.  So, YES, we are out here.  We made bad choices in allying ourselves with the people we married--people unworthy of trust.  That does not mean there are not wonderful persons of integrity in each gender out there.  Let's try to move forward and treat people as individuals, rather than representatives of the worst common denominator of their gender.  After all, how would either of us feel if we were dismissed as capable of the UGLY?  ...but I am with ya.  I mean, it's all well and good to say these things to myself, but getting to the point of feeling it in my heart is different.  Good luck to us both/all!

..78%. Is that a good thing. Is there any reason why a larger percentage would not pass the first time?

That's a really high national pass rate. Are you sure that % is right? In California, the pass rate is usually a little below 50%. So 78% is a great thing and means you have a good chance of passing as long as you do the basic studying and treat Bar exam studying as a full time job. It can't get much higher than 78% pass rate. That figure makes it seem like the Bar is too easy, at least when you compare it to California's Bar.

Where can you find a job to be a 911 operator? What kind of a schooling do you need for that?

Most places you don't need a special education. The ability to multi task and good personal skills are a big plus. I have been a dispatcher for 18mo now. I would recommened that you look on the internet to find out how your area is serviced. Mine is a consolidated agency meaning that we dispatch for all police, fire and medical for the entire county, basically we do everything for around 17 agencies. You can ask at you local police department but if you are in a large urban area chances area the dispatchers are at another location.

wondered then how a space shuttle can blow up in flames when they are in space and there is no oxygen??\n\nPlease explain.

Shuttles bring oxygen with them, because they have to burn their fuel to propel themselves through space.  It is because they carry liquid oxygen that they are so incredibly dangerous.\n\nBut really, fire is just an oxidation/reduction reaction.  All you really need are an oxidizer, a reducer, and heat.  Oxygen gas in the air serves as the oxidizer for most fires, and carbohydrates (lignin, cellulose, oil, petroleum, coal, etc) serve as the reducer in most fires you see.  But some rockets use nitrogen dioxide as the oxidizer instead of oxygen.  You could, theoretically, use hydrogen gas and chlorine gas to make a flame in the absense of oxygen--but oxygen is the only common and abundant oxidizer, since it is created as a byproduct of photosynthesis in plants and cyanobacteria.


I want the address of where i will get it.


My friends and I want to start this up, but we have no idea really how to read stats and don't want to ask our guy friends.

Basically fantasy sports come from real live stats that players have during that night or weeks game.  Lets look at fantasy football as an example:\n\nNow you can get points for:\nPassing Yards, Rushing Yards, Receiving Yards, Touchdowns, Interceptions, fumbles, and so on.\n\nBelow is the point system for your average fantasy football league:\nPassing Yards (50 yards per point)\nPassing Touchdowns (6)\nInterceptions (-2)\nRushing Yards (20 yards per point)\nRushing Touchdowns (6)\nReception Yards (20 yards per point)\nReception Touchdowns (6)\nReturn Touchdowns (6)\n2-Point Conversions (2)\nFumbles Lost (-2)\nOffensive Fumble Return TD (6)\nField Goals 0-19 Yards (3)\nField Goals 20-29 Yards (3)\nField Goals 30-39 Yards (3)\nField Goals 40-49 Yards (4)\nField Goals 50+ Yards (5)\nPoint After Attempt Made (1)\nSack (1)\nInterception (2)\nFumble Recovery (2)\nTouchdown (6)\nSafety (2)\nBlock Kick (2)\nPoints Allowed 0 points (10)\nPoints Allowed 1-6 points (7)\nPoints Allowed 7-13 points (4)\nPoints Allowed 14-20 points (1)\nPoints Allowed 21-27 points (0)\nPoints Allowed 28-34 points (-1)\nPoints Allowed 35+ points (-4) \n\nNow you usually have Quaterback, Widereciever, Widereciever, Widereciever, Running Back, Running Back, Tight End, Kicker, Defense, and 6 bench spots  for players you may not use one week but maybe the next. \n\nNow you just need to do a little research and find the best players so when you draft you get the best team possible.  You also need to keep an eye on free agents during the season and pick someone up who is doing well.  It is fun and it is not that complicated once you are exposed to it.

Can i convert USB 1.0 port to a USB 2.0 by upgrading the drivers. i have a P4 with intel motherboard (dont remember the motherboard model no.)

Unfortunately no...you cannot convert it but you can add a USB 2.0 to your system. To do this, you will need to buy another device, a USB 2.0 PCI card. This card is then to be inserted into your system at any empty PCI slot on the motherboard.\n\nBut if i am not wrong, a motherboard that supports Pentium 4, usually have a USB 2.0 port instead of 1.0 or 1.1.

I have a BA degree in Sociology and I would love to use that before the degree will mean nothing.  I want to make a better life for my daughter and I.  I am a single parent, going back to school is what I would like to do really soon.

well single mom, remember this. Where theres a will theres a way. Do not however, narrow your horizons to just a specific field in sociology. Your degree involves the nature of human beings in all aspects of human interaction and encounter. Thus single mom, use that will power, tenacity and beauty, inside and out, to gather and garner any job that pays the right amount as a start. that will intern lead to another job that you may use as a steppingstone up your personal ladder of success, which in turn will act as a role modeling  push for your daughters future and your own.  Remember this too I have confidence in you.

It is linked because freshwaterews are also forms of waters like rivers, streams etc.

You let people know that you're single just by simply saying you're single, just like you've done now with your question above. There's nothing wrong with being single, but it does get rather lonesome after awhile and suddenly you start yearning for a partner.

do u believe in:\n1. God\n2. the Adam and Eve story\n3. After Life\n4. Heaven\n5. Hell\n\nu could jus write the number i guess.

1. Yes\n2. Not in the literal Biblical story of Genesis, no. I think the Adam & Eve story is more symbolic than literal. Genesis generally lays out what was created first then next, but I don't believe in the literal "7 days" story.  I think each day of the 7 days really means a long period of time passed on Earth before the next step was taken.  If you don't take the literal meaning of "7 days" then the Genesis account actually matches scientific data/theories of the origin of the cosmos, earth, etc.  For example, light or the sun came into being first before Earth, then on Earth first there was water before land, and how humans were created after the animals and the plants.    \n3.

I've tried steam, saline solution, hot compress, vicks, blah blah blah.  Severe nasal congestion - scan showed no sinus problems.  I keep congestion year round.  No allergies other than slight reaction to mold.  I've tried different medicines the dr has given me, but I have a very active lifestyle and can't handle the side effects.  Any other ideas?

I've had some success with Alka Seltzer Plus and the liquid gel caps that are for sinus problems. Of course, I don't have year 'round sinus problems like you do. I've also tried the steam and all the other stuff you tried and they don't work for me. What does help me sleep at night is getting a dust mask (the kind you use when working in a dusty environment), put some Vicks on the inside, and wear it to bed. It helps you breathe better through the night, so you don't wake up with drool all over your pillow! Also, some companies have come up with those steamless vaporizers that you put eucalyptus oil or Vicks in and it warms the product to the point where it leaves the odor in the air...quite effective if you don't need steam in your house. <*)))><

She had a cancer around this time last year on one of her salivitory glands. The bump has shown up on the eye that is on the same side of her face as the cancer was. She is scared because she remembers them saying something about her eye in the hospital.

It might be a stye. Here is the WebMD explaination of the problem.\n\n"A stye is an infection in the tiny oil glands along the edge of the eyelid that surround the base of an eyelash. It begins as a red, tender bump, and looks like a small pimple as it develops.\n\nA stye usually comes to a head (clear or yellow fluid collects in the stye) in about 3 days, after which it breaks open and drains and heals in about a week. Though the cause of a stye is often unknown, it can develop from rubbing the eyes or using products near the eyelid that can irritate the eye, both of which can transfer bacteria to the skin and cause infection.\n\nUsually, home treatment is all that is necessary to treat a stye. This includes not wearing eye makeup or contact lenses; allowing the stye to break open by itself; applying warm, wet compresses to the eye area; and using nonprescription medications. "

i just want to know why it rains hard sometimes and why it rains lightly sometimes

It depends on a number of variables. One factor is the temperature difference between two air masses. The warm air will hold more water than cold air, so if a warm front hits a very cold air mass the cold air will cool the warm air and it will become oversaturated with water vapor. The more the warm air is cooled the more rain will fall. \n\nAnother factor is the way the air masses are moving. If a warm front moves over cold air slowly it will form a gradual transition with the cold air remaining near the ground and the warm air climbing gradually over it. This will produce a prolonged period of rain. If a cold front pushes under a warm air mass it may form a much steeper boundary area between the two air masses. This can produce very hard short periods of rain. \n\nHere's a little diagram:\nhttp://www.tiscali.co.uk/reference/encyclopaedia/hutchinson/m0006324.html

Well, I don't think it says anything like "I am God", but in Romans 12:1, it says that you should "offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God -this is your spiritual act of worship." In a way, that is telling you to worship him.

i live in asia which most of parents think the only way to teach the naughty kid are by punish them like spank, hit em' using belt, any violence thing. they think if they're soft to their kid, the kid will be naughtier.

In US, we can end up in jail if hurt a kid physically, it's considered as child abuse. We punish naughty kid by suspending them, give no permissions to leave house or even bedroom, taking away their allowance, phonecalls, their favorite things such as games, comics, movies, etc. If cannot handle on our own, seek professional help from experts or some institutions, a sort of military school is an option.


Like how does my life change when new planets or stars or nubulae or galaxies are discovered?

i got your point... truly when stars like X35 or YR463 (i don't know if they exist) were discovered it wasn't as if aids suddenly had a cure or it became possible for us to live a hundred years longer or that we can already live in mars... clearly discoveries about outer space don't benefit us directly. In fact , the only things it benefits directly are the oppurtunity-hogging world powers and the greedy curiousness of their scientists. It is however also true that because of the discoveries of the past, we are now more technologically advance and a step closer to other fundamental questions that will benefit the whole human race in the future. You see, it is very possible that the gains of prolific discoveries of today will not be felt by the present generation thats why people think that it is pointless. It may not help us now, but having the knowledge that these discoveries will ensure positive effects to the lives of our children and the future generation will make it all priceless.

Given the scope of the current scandal facing our Nation, how does this type of activity make the sale of influence alright by just turning over money that is not legal and therefore not really theirs over to charity make everything right once again.  Are we going to let this type of activity pass as a solution to this scandal.  If the money received was for illegal purposes then it does not belong to who received it, how can they then pass it on to charity?

So, you are talking about 2 types of "illegal" money.\n\nOne, the "illegal" money that politicians get.  Campaign finance laws would kick a politicians rear if it was recieved illegally.  So, the money must be dirty for a different reason.  When politicians reveive money it typically is sent to their campaign and not the politician.  The people working the campaign receive the money they typically deposit it into a campaign account.\n\nAt this point, if it's dirty money what else can they do with it?  What options do they have for the money?  As you have said, they give it to charity.  What other options are there for the money that will benefit someone.\n\nAs you also noted, $6000 is all that can be attributed to Abramson to the Bush campaign.  There are limiting campaign finance laws.  There is also a lot of money "donated to politicians" that does not actually go to politicians but to support groups.  The politicians do not directly control that money.\n\nDrug money is a little different.  That money is siezed by law enforcement.  Then, there are laws dictating what they can do with that money.  It is evidence in court for one.  Then, it can also be used for other law enforcement purposes within the bounds of the law.  At this point, it is the governments siezed money and not the money of a private individual that can be given away.\n\nThat is how things are in the USA anyway.


You have to go back a long ways to find the first asian tennis player.  Vijay Armitraj was a very good asian player and can even be seen in the James Bond movie entitled Octopussy.  Michael Chang grew up in the United States and also lived in Washington and Henderson, Nevada


state that his BROTHER is governing.It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that this was a direct confict of interest! Or with the deciding votes in his brothers state it's a no brainer HOW he won!

This Q makes no sense.\n\nThe American people didn't get together and vote on which state would be closely contested.  The vote in Florida just worked out that way.\n\nnow, if you want to get conspiratorial about it, then you might say that Katherine Harris, the FL Secretary of State was behind the underrepresentation of Gore votes.  I can't prove that actually happened, but all I can say is that I smell a rat in the Sunshine State.\n\nand for that matter, Ohio in 2004 was essentially the same.


a little technical details would be helpful.

I don't know about using a pendulum, and the ballistic gelatin is too inconsistent for accurate velocity measurements.\n\nI use a chronometer. VERY simple device - there are two photoreceptors placed a set distance apart, both with white screens above them to serve as a backdrop. Any object passing across the first photoreceptor starts a timer, and the timer stops when that object passes the second receptor. Because the distance is known, the chronometer is able to calculate velocity.\n\nAn inexpensive ballistic chronometer will set you back about $90-$100. add features like multiple shot memory, printers, or large LCD displays and the sky's the limit!


I know why most people get their tongue pierced, but I don't notice a big difference myself through experience. (I almost prefere none) Why else would you do it? (or why else DID you do it, if you have one.

I don't have a tounge piercing but i think you do it to be rebellious. This boy in my math class has had his tounge pierced for over a year and his parents don't even know it.


Do you feel that it is right to go hunting 3 months out of the year? Do you think this is to much??????

I think this question is too vague... Hunt what, where, with what, is the animal being hunted over populated, endangered.  Some people feel hunting is a horrible thing and the fact is that it can be a good thing for the survival of the species and the environment.


I value the relationship and we've been together 6 years.

Realize that sometimes you both need to agree that you don't agree on certain subjects. Other times if it's not that serious, just agree with her. Make her think you do anyway. That should help keep the peace.


my mother has a yahoo email i think it is debelu_4@yahoo.com can you help me

You can go to the Yahoo White Pages and look her up, if she has registered it will provide her email address. Good Luck


I have an ip-adress 210.115.64.0 so it's a class-c net\n\n1. I need at least 3 subnet!\n2. At least 14 hosts per subnet have to be enabled!\n\nThe Question is: which subnetmask do i have to use?\n\nsry for my english but... :D jeah im not the best as you can read

The subnet mask on the subnets should probably be 255.255.255.224 -- 224 is 7 * 32, so this would in theory allow you 8 subnets of 32 computers each.  The subnets would be:\n\n210.115.32.0 - 210.115.32.31\n210.115.32.32 - 210.115.32.63\n210.115.32.64 - 210.115.32.95\n210.115.32.96 - 210.115.32.127\n\nand so on.\n\nThere are a few reserved addresses -- I wouldn't use all zeroes or all ones, so in practice, you could use 6 subnets of 30 addresses.  One of your addresses has to be used by the router on the subnet, so you're down to 6 subnets of 29 addresses.\n\nThose addresses sure go fast!


I had to disable it to get Rhapsody software to work with my D-Link wireless router; but, I don't know why.

(Universal Plug aNd Play) A family of protocols from the UPnP Forum (www.upnp.org) for automatically configuring devices, discovering services and providing peer-to-peer data transfer over an IP network. Introduced in 1999, UPnP is not technically related to PnP (Plug and Play). It is related by concept: both provide zero configuration, which is automatic installation without manual configuration


this guy I am involved says he would put his daughter before a relationship. I don't think that's how it should be.

The quality of girls relationship with her father will affect how she is with men for the rest of her life- you on the other hand are an adult and should be able to accept decisions/behaviours  more rationally. Its completey understandable he would put her "first" but rather than thinking of it that way it needs to be presented as being able to balance his relationship with you with the one he has with his daughter.\nBe wary if he's being over protective of her but also try and consider it from his viewpoint- would you let a man come before your son?


i want to get my astrological chart done, but i am afraid of getting ripped off by some inferior site that does not employ professional astrologers who are reputable and dedicated

There are places on the internet where astrologers meet to discuss charts. Their abilities range from beginner to professionals, some of whom will do short readings for free. As they are accepting no money, there is no chance of a rip-off. \n\nTry joining the free group at\nhttp://groups.msn.com/horoscopeschat/_whatsnew.msnw\n\nHeartfeltGloria is an excellent chart reader there, and you may find me there as well - look for Emily_Miley. Ask for a reading in the 'astrological advice' section. It will not be as full a reading as a professional might give, but at least you can 'test the waters'. I have my own professional site, but believe it would be unethical to advertise it here.


Amsterdam, because I can sing it... and because of the piano, just a beautiful, calming song...\n\nClose behind are Yellow and Shiver, though.  ^^


On my Mac ibook it has been running fine for 3 years.. and suddenly each of the programs that I use to browse the web  (explorer, firefox, netscape, etc) have begun unexpectedly quitting on me.  In particular, when I use exporer to try and check my yahoo mail, it quits. BUT when anyonelse tries it it works.  AND I can check my Yahoo mail on any other computer and through another progam.)  Also, sometimes the programs quit during other tasks, like downloading or trying to open a pdf.   Strange huh?

yeah, maybe run a virus / spyware scan and if that doesnt help try reformatting it.


hey guys,, i'm a new immigrant to Canada\ni came here about 3 months ago\nsince then, not a single person apart from my\nfamily has ever talked to me...\ni have no friends at school.. and the thing is my english is not too good even though i've lived in\naustralia for about 4 yrs b4 i came here.\nhonestly, i don't think my writing and reading is\nTOO bad..but it's my speaking ability that holds me\nback from making friends. on my very first day at the school here,my teachers asked me what school i was from, and i just said i'm from australia and i think, since i said so, people think i was born there or lived there for ages, so i guess they have been expecting me to be good at english..and, today, in my economics class, i had to do presentation..and it was pretty much my first time speaking english in public in canada and my speaking had got heaps bad,(tho it was never good even b4) and some ppl were actually laughing and stuff..\nOMG i so wanna die,,will someone plz give me an advice?

Hey,\nI also am an immigrant that came in the US without knowing english very well, so i know what u're talking about. But i think u shouldnt let urself down like that, try to talk to people around u (for sure there is at least one person who will be willing to help).U need to make friends who speak "good" english in order to improve urs. U need to push urself harder and be confident. U know most of the people that laughed at u are all ignorant and idiot don't get depressed because of that it's not worth it. Try to be outgoing, speak english whenever u can, go to parks, or wherever u can find people and talk to them, be friendly i'm sure they'll understand, dont be ashamed of ur accent or whatever. Motivate urself and dont put in ur mind that u r not good, believe in urself.\nAnd please do not hesitate to write me whenever u r feeling down, i wanna help u. How old r u?\nDon't quit ok?\nAnd who told u that u were ugly? Nobody is ugly in this world u just have to be beautiful inside. Just be urself and dont pay attention of what people say...i'm sure u dont need plastic surgery, u just need to b confident and trust urself....u dont need to be handsome or whatever to make friends.


I recently switched to DSL have Explorer & Netscape

I just did this. You should delete Real from your system, then go to Real.com and download the free version of Realplayer 10. It works very well.


also, is there a particular posture in which v should sleep? does sleeping in a curved(foetal)position hurt our back ? is sleeping in a straight posture the best?

The Role of Sleep\n\nThe way you sleep and the mattress you sleep on can affect your back. Poor body support while you sleep can result in poor sleep posture and, instead of relaxation, extra strain for your muscles. The spine relies on good muscle support all day long--while you work, relax and sleep. When the muscles that support the spine aren't given a good night's rest, they can suffer from muscle fatigue. Over time, you might feel some discomfort in your lower back or neck, or the problem could develop into muscle tightness or spasm. Sleeping on your stomach with an oversized pillow, or sleeping on a mismatched box spring can translate into back problems as well.\n\nPosture\n\nThe best position for your back during sleep is the side-lying or fetal position. This position helps to rest the back by keeping the spine in its normal “S” contour.  Sleeping on your stomach or back arches the natural curves of the back, asking back muscles to work longer. Stomach sleepers find an acceptable compromise by sleeping with the outer knee flexed. It may help to place pillows at your lower back and/or between the legs to help reinforce back support. Back sleepers find it helps to place a pillow under the knees to maintain support for the normal curve of the lower back.\n\nPillows\n\nMost doctors recommend avoiding oversized pillows and using multiple pillows under the head because of the potential for strain on the neck.\n\nMattress\n\nThere aren’t set guidelines to dictate how long a mattress should last. Many factors can affect the life span of a mattress. However, if you are waking up with back pain, especially if you aren't going to bed with it, it’s probably time to check the condition of your bed. \n\nQuestions to help you assess your mattress:\n\n    *      Is your bed over 10 years old? \n    *      Has your mattress kept even contours, or are there impressions where you sleep? \n    *      Is your bed comfortable? If you feel your mattress makes you roll toward the center or it just doesn't feel comfortable anymore, it may be time for replacement. \n\nHaving said that, you might still wanna check out:\nhttp://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/2539.html\nhttp://www.ivillage.co.uk/pregnancyandbaby/pregnancy/concernpreg/qas/0,,16_158260,00.html\n(Note: The second weblink is for pregnant women)\n\nNext time you have a health related question to ask, go to www.doctorndtv.com and post yer query.

I was divorced 6mo ago, I left Him. I loved Him too much to see Him unhappy. We have 2 kids together and I am still completely in love with my ex! I want Him back but am affraid to pray for our resteration in case the Lord was to give me what I want, and it not be what is good for me. The Bible says God will give you your hearts desires...?

I have been in this same situation.  This is not advice, but how it transpired for me.  My ex-wife was not good for myself and my two sons.  I left her.  I had those same exact thoughts and dilemma on what to pray for. Take her back and get the good and the really bad.  Or go solo with two young children and deal with loneliness and single parent struggles.  What I realized was that my ex-wife was not doing what I believe was the will of GOD. And that was to take care of us and do what was pleasing to GOD.  So I opted to take the less traveled road and not go back. 14 years have passed since then.  I still have my sons.  I have my second wife now going on 12 years.  I have an adopted daughter who is almost 4.  My life is tremendously better than it was back then.  Why? I found a person who REALLY loved my sons and myself unconditionally. Also, she was a real living example of a Christian.  By the way, her first husband ditched her after she sent him through numberous colleges.  Funny how GOD works. Sometimes your answers will come in the most unusual ways.  GOD gives insight and wisdom to get you through. Take Care of yourself. You will do what is right.  Just remember, there can be great gain by experiencing loss.  Also, I am not an advocate of divorce. However, it is necessary for the welfare of the children and yourself if your spouse hardens their heart with no recourse after much prayer and pleading.


Eric is just going through a difficult phase right now. I think the kettle is ready.Pick up the phone its my friend dara who says its up to you.


do you think it is because us 20-somethings have all the stress? kids, no money, no life, da da da, and when you are older you have less stress? (older kids, more money, easier life etc)

I am a 31 year old, who doesn't feel like she is in her 30's, yet.\nI think there is a lot of truth to Sully's answer.\nI know that you can feel like you have no life, and are tied down when you have small children.  I have 4 myself, 11-4, so I know how it is.  \nYou only feel that way, however, if you allow yourself to feel that way.  Try not to let things stress you out.  Make sure that you take time for yourself everyday, even if it is just a quiet minute with a cup of coffee, or a bubble bath after the kids are in bed.  You would be surprised how a little quiet time really make a huge difference.  Also, I think it might make you feel better if you were able to get out more.  You and your husband go out once a week without the children, get together more with friends, and exercise regularly.\n\nEnjoy your 20's, they are a great time.  =)

do you think there should be gay marriage in the usa?

Yes. I believe in equality. I think it is ashame that we would deny two loving people the opportunity to have the government sanction and offer protections to that union and the families connected with that union.

With Sprint buying Nextel, is the series going to be known as the Nextel Cup or the Sprint Cup this year?  Also, why does cricket get it's own topic but auto racing doesn't?

It will still be known as the Nextel Cup for 2006, but Sprint does have the right to alter the name beyond that. If they do, though, it will likely do more to create brand confusion than leaving it alone in this instance.\n\nFrom jayski.com: The new company (Sprint-Nextel) will be committed to its partnership with NASCAR and its more than 75 million fans. The NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series will maintain its current series branding through 2006, and decisions regarding the series name and branding beyond that season are expected to be made prior to the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series season opener in 2006.\n\nCan't help you on the "cricket" thing, but it does irk me, too... for obvious reasons.


I've had a hope chest for a year or two but I have no idea what to put in it. My mom says I should put stuff for my future wedding and home but I have no clue what that would be.

Table cloths, place mats, quilts for your bed, throw blankets for your couch, lace curtains, dish cloths, towels & face cloths, sheet sets & pillow cases, a set of flatware, pot holders, a baby blanket & layette set, scented sachets (to give everything a pleasant smell), head & neck scarves, your mom's wedding dress & veil (you may want to wear it or pass it on to your children). You might want to check with your mom for more items that she would suggest. She might have items that she's been saving for your hope chest, like a copy of the family photo album, or your christening outfit. These are all acceptable. I want to commend you for carrying on this old family tradition. Many young ladies are too concerned with which guy they want to sleep with, not even planning much beyond tonight, let alone a future with one man. I hope you will keep this tradition alive in your family and pass it on to the next generation. You might want to also include a story of your family...like a family tree...but in story form. Interview older family members, writing their family stories down, passing it on to future generations. It will really help you when telling your kids family stories of their great grandma, long after she's gone. Get their stories now, before it's too late. Then, keep them in your hope chest. <*)))><


I just moved into the US in september/2005.

Even if you don't have enough income but are legal in the US (with permission to work) I would file taxes so that the income is considered for your SS statments.


how can you dunks if you only 5"5, what exercice i need?

In order to dunk, you will need to get your wrist above the rim. At 5' 5", I estimate that standing and reaching as high as you can, your wrist will be no more than 6' 5". That means you will have to develop a vertical jump of 41". Not unheard of, but difficult.\n\nI would recommend jumping rope, weights, and bounding up steps, two or three steps at a time, both single legged and double legged. It might work, it might not.


What does Geronimo say when he jumps out of a plane? \n\nWhat hair color do they put on the driver's license of a bald man?

Bless Yourself.\n\nCowabunga!\n\nNude (Color)\n\nConditioner (don't want to get flakes ya know!) ;)\n\nYou are way too easily frightened.\n\nYou fail.\n\nNightime sniffiling, sneezing, coughing, head, fever so you can feel wired and wish you would sleep medicine.\n\nSerious sag!


What are the logistics? Also: If they really make a profit then doesn't that mean that we really don't need them? (If you know what I mean)

Insurance companies are structured like casinos in some ways.  They are betting that the incident (death, injury, sickness, etc.) you are insured against will only happen a certain percentage of time, for which the fees they collect will cover the times those incidents do happen.\n\nJust because an individual might not ever need that insurance, well, never collects on it, does not mean that they did not "need" it, but rather they beat the "odds" of having to use it.

His is advocating that Tony Blair be impeached for going to war in Iraq.\nYour views??

Tony Blair has caught a lot of criticism from his fellow countrymen, much like that other leader . . . George W. Bush.  The majority of his critics, like in President Bush's case, is from the opposition party to that which is in power.  Although I am not British, I have kept up with their news, and it appears that Prime Minister Blair is doing well.  The media, (remember it's the liberal media, while Bush & Blair are respecitvely conservatives), has been attacking both of the leaders for about the last three years.  Gee, I guess that's why the U.N. military commander in Bosnia is the "FORMER".  I haven't read any positive news concerning Bosnia and the U.N. involvement.  So, putting two & two together, the proverbial statement holds true, "Those who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones."  Or to reference the Word, "He who is without sin, may cast the first stone."  If anyone would like to forward this to that FORMER U.N. military commander in Bosnia, you have my full permission . . . . if President Bush or Prime Minister Blair are doing so poorly, then I'd like to see you do better!  Come on, you've got my vote.  I'm sure your response is something like the following:  "No, I don't want that job!"  Good, then sit back, shut up, fasten your seatbelt, enjoy the ride and just use sunscreen!  Sorry, I'm a history major and love to argue politics.  Although evidently biased, maybe it shed some light on your question.


I'm doing my homework, and I'm doing supplementary angles. I don't really understand. HELP ME!!!

When two angles are supplementary, their sum is 180 degrees.  For example:\n\na + b = c\n100 + 80 = 180, therefore a and b are supplementary.\n\nIf a + b = 90, the angles are complementary.


if it is an open encyclopedia and everyone can make an input, how accurate are the information? is everything checked and verified before posted on the net?

The more you know, the worse it looks.  The concept is great.  The practical nature has many advantages.  But it is like writings on a public wall and not stone tablets chipped in stone.  At first there were some very knowledgable people submitting articles.  Then the public was allowed to join in.  It has never been the same.\n\nI have seen the article mentioned by almost every loyal user of the site, but the information in that article does not point out the the 2 errors in the Encyclopedia were very minor while two of the three error in Wikipedia were moderate to major.\nIf you use it, do so with the idea of getting information to check for a primary source.  Be careful in using it for school or to make extremely important choices.\n\nOne of the reasons that some of the information on this site is so poor at times is that some bright individual just looks up the answer on Wikipedia and cut-and-pastes it into the answer box with little or no thought.

Do you think the US governemnt is prepare for another terrosist attack? Are we safe? Is the government really protecting us?

The government can't protect us from terrorism.  If someone is willing to give up their lives to hurt others no can stop them.  \nAre we more protected than before 9/11?  No, everything is close to the same. The government fulfilled very little of the 9/11 report recommendations. We may be worse off with the Iraq, depending on who you talk to. The government can't protect us fully but it can protect vulnerable places like chemical plants and cargo but has failed to do so.\nUltimately, we are not safe from attack and never will be.  We can only minimize the chance for attacks but the government is not doing it.


What are some funny things to do in a computer lab? I'm in one now...

1. Log on, wait a sec, then get a frightened look on your face and scream "Oh my God! They've found me!" and bolt. \n\n\n2. Laugh uncontrollably for about 3 minutes & then suddenly stop and look suspiciously at everyone who looks at you. \n\n\n3. When your computer is turned off, complain to the monitor on duty that you can't get the damn thing to work. After he/she's turned it on, wait 5 minutes, turn it off again, & repeat the process for a good half hour. \n\n\n4. Type frantically, often stopping to look at the person next to you evilly. \n\n\n5. Before anyone else is in the lab, connect each computer to different screen than the one it's set up with.\n\n\n6. Write a program that plays the "Smurfs" theme song and play it at the highest volume possible over & over again. \n\n\n7. Work normally for a while. Suddenly look amazingly startled by something on the screen and crawl underneath the desk. \n\n\n8. Ask the person next to you if they know how to tap into top-secret Pentagon files. \n\n\n9. Use Interactive Send to make passes at people you don't know. \n\n\n10. Make a small ritual sacrifice to the computer before you turn it on. \n\n\n11. Bring a chainsaw, but don't use it. If anyone asks why you have it, say "Just in case..." mysteriously. \n\n\n12. Type on VAX for a while. Suddenly start cursing for 3 minutes at everything bad about your life. Then stop and continue typing. \n\n\n13. Enter the lab, undress, and start staring at other people as if they're crazy while typing. \n\n\n14. Light candles in a pentagram around your terminal before starting. \n\n\n15. Ask around for a spare disk. Offer $2. Keep asking until someone agrees. Then, pull a disk out of your fly and say, "Oops, I forgot." \n\n\n16. Every time you press Return and there is processing time required, pray "Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease," and scream "YES!" when it finishes. \n\n\n17. "DISK FIGHT!!!" \n\n\n18. Start making out with the person at the terminal next to you (It helps if you know them, but this is also a great way to make new friends). \n\n\n19. Put a straw in your mouth and put your hands in your pockets. Type by hitting the keys with the straw. \n\n\n20. If you're sitting in a swivel chair, spin around singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" whenever there is processing time required. \n\n\n21. Draw a picture of a woman (or man) on a piece of paper, tape it to your monitor. Try to seduce it. Act like it hates you and then complain loudly that women (men) are worthless. \n\n\n22. Try to stick a Ninetendo cartridge into the 3 1/2 disc drive, when it doesn't work, get the supervisor. \n\n\n23. When you are on an IBM, and when you turn it on, ask loudly where the smiling Apple face is when you turn on one of those. \n\n\n24. Print out the complete works of Shakespeare, then when its all done (two days later) say that all you wanted was one line. \n\n\n25. Sit and stare at the screen, biting your nails noisily. After doing this for a while, spit them out at the feet of the person next to you. \n\n\n26. Stare at the screen, grind your teeth, stop, look at the person next to you. Grinds some more. Repeat procedure, making sure you never provoke the person enough to let them blow up, as this releases tension, and it is far more effective to let them linger. \n\n\n27. If you have long hair, take a typing break, look for split ends, cut them and deposit them on your neighbor's keyboard as you leave. \n\n\n28. Put a large, gold-framed portrait of the British Royal Family on your desk and loudly proclaim that it inspires you. \n\n\n29. Come to the lab wearing several layers of socks. Remove shoes and place them of top of the monitor. Remove socks layer by layer and drape them around the monitor. Exclaim sudden haiku about the aesthetic beauty of cotton on plastic. \n\n\n30. Take the keyboard and sit under the computer. Type up your paper


There is a prisoner on death row. His captor \nis especially cruel, and so on a Monday morning \ntells the prisoner: \n"You will be executed later this week. \nHowever I won't tell you what day beforehand. \nWhen you are dragged out to the firing squad, \nit will be a surprise to you."\nThe prisoner mulls this over. The week runs from \nMonday to Sunday. If the prisoner makes it to Sunday, \nthere are no further days for the execution to \ntake place. It must be that day he will be shot \nbut it wouldn't be a surprise. Hence the \nexecution cannot be on Sunday and must be on \nTuesday through Saturday. But then if the prisoner \nmakes it to Saturday, there are no further days \nfor the execution to take place, as Sunday is no \nlonger an option. Hence the execution must be on \nthat day, but then it wouldn't be a surprise. \nThus it cannot take place on Saturday. The reasoning \ncontinues in a similar fashion until every day \nis ruled out. The prisoner concludes that there is \nno way for the conditions of the execution to \nbe fulfilled and therefore the execution cannot \ntake place. Therefore, it comes as a great shock \nwhen on the Thursday the prisoner is taken from his \ncell and placed before the firing squad.

this is a proof by induction based on a poor assumption.\n\nnote that you start by saying "IF the prisoner makes it to sunday..." and then the reasoning goes on by induction from there.  however there is no reason given to justify this assumption on monday.  this assumption is untenable until sunday actually arrives.\n\nso, all that has been shown is that if the prisoner is still alive by sunday, he has not been killed on any day before, which pretty much anyone can tell you is simple common sense.\n\nand, clearly when the prisoner is killed on thursday, then we have shown by contradiction that the assumption was false.

Girl seems to be very violant.  I just don't wish to talk to her anymore but fear she will be destructive to my property and just won't get a hint

be honest. If she knows she is bipolar then tell her how you feel. If you just think she is, then ease her into what you want her to know. Let her feel like she is a special person, but for someone else. Let her know you will be there for her to talk and be friends. Unless you are friends and you don't want to be, then you might need a mediator, if she is as violent as you say, then you need a mediator either way. Just keep it friendly and safe, possibly away from brakable stuff. Just be honest in the best possible way. another thing, doing it over the phone or on line is being a coward.

Hi Grannywinkie - I agree with you about it being worth the wait for peace. You're a pretty smart lady, aren't you? But it is hard to find it in the world. I can honestly say that I have found it in prayer and in a relationship with God. Not to say that that a person has to live like a hermit or be a part of a strange sort of religion  - I think living with a prayerful heart only expands one's life and one's world. Everything seems to become brighter and bigger and more balanced.\n\n Ironically, it seems that we need to make a routine of closing out the world and its noise in order to find peace. And then, once that habit is formed, it becomes natural to be able to function with greater stability and happiness within that "noisy, confusing world", all with a deep serenity, and a sense of purpose and peace. And, it's nice to know that no matter how threatening everything gets, once we have locked into that inner strength, it can't be taken away. \n\nI don't think we have to wait for peace, in other words. I really believe it's available to anyone who is open and desires it enough...at anytime.


My dream is to be a major "player" in the film industry. Be the guy everyone wants to work with. I started my website www.belavu.com...A start for Belavu Productions?? DO you think it's possible? what can I do to ensure achievement of this dream

I believe they can. The dreams that are based in reality that is. It also depends if you were daydreaming about something or you were dreaming when your asleep. If your wish to be a part of the film industry, then my suggestion is to start working for it. Remember, the harder you work for something, the more rewarding it is when it comes true.


What reasoning does religion gives to refute evolution when so much proof (though not perfect) are in support of the survival of the species?

I've already answered a similar question. \nI could say that many people don't know enough of the living world that surrounds them; that could be blamed on education, personal interest, or whatever. \nBut ultimately it is about the time and effort that it takes to learn, understand, question, doubt, and find out if the "truth" that they're selling you is anything like what really happens. \nI think faith is absolutely respectable. I know that most of the times it helps people cope with life in a better way. But it's not science; and scientists object when someone tries to pass it as such (intelligent design and so forth). Belief is dogmatic; you believe that there is a god who created everything because you do. From that point you can use whatever observations you make to support your viewpoint (only think of the many interpretations that have been derived from the Bible - shudder- ).\nSometimes it may seem that scientists are also trying to sell dogmatic ideas, but that's because usually one is compelled to provide statements that are shorter and simpler than what we know or think. \nThat's why I started saying that it takes more effort and more thinking. If you study, if you learn and really observe the natural world, you can't help but seeing the links of similarity that connect all of us. \nIt is each person's choice.


Given a 9 X 9 sided square(rows 0 to 8, columns 0 to 8) where the cell(2,6) contains a RED dot (rest of the cells dont contain the RED dot). How many squares are present of any size without having the RED dot in them?

First we calculate all squares:\nWe have 9*9 one by one squares, 8*8 two by two squares and\nSo total squares are: 9^2+8^2+7^2+...+1^2=285\n Where 1^2 stands for 9 by 9 square.\n\nNow we must calculate all squares containing the red spot:\n\nWe have one "one by one" square, 4 " two by two" squares,\n9 "for 3*3", 9 for "4*4", 9 for "5*5", 9 for "6*6", 9 for "7*7", 4 for "8*8" and 1 for "9*9";\nWhich is count to 55. \n\nSo the answer is 285-55=230


I want to be a reporter, but from what's out there, I don't think that anyone can master in such a thing. What are your suggestions?

The University of Missouri is generally considered one of the top programs in journalism at the master's degree level, although there are many great schools across the country. A master's in journalism is not a necessity to work in the industry, but is a definite prerequisite if you are interested in teaching, especially at the university level.


Price and corporate ratings will be the determining factors. Can you help me in determining the best insurance for my home and car? Thanks!

wut does it mean to be a christian to u? there r a lot of characteristics that you needto be one, but i think the most important trait is to be like Jesus

yes, there are many characteristics/traits that define what it takes to be a Christian...the very meaning of Christian is to be "Christ-like."\nI believe this to be true, and I also believe that being a Christian is submitting to His Will and letting Him have rulership in our lives...only then, can all of the characteristics/traits of a servant reveal the genuine definition of being Christian...afterall, Christ is the King of kings and the Lord of lords [Revelation 19:16].

If i have sex, would my mom be able to tell that i have, without, of course, examining my hymen or rather lack of?

my mom never did. Prolly the only way she might be able to tell, is by a dramatic change on yer part. Basically, dont make it obvious. Act the way u always act. Sex is like drugs. They change yer behaviour and moods. Make sure u come off it totally before talking to yer mums. =)


I can't seem to get my website listed anywhere.

Yes. I went from 60 to page 1 in google.  it has to do with the words you use in the title of the page, the words in your content. Bold a key word for example,  use it enough, but not too much. Think like a keyword searcher and use those words or phrases.  Being linked to by sites like yours is good also. Add more pages to your site, keep updating.  I'm number one in yahoo for several single words. It's all about content/words.


Why Is a Carrot More Orange Than an Orange?\n If i ask enough questions at -2 per question,\nwill i ever reach 0 points or maybe even negitive -0

Carrots are picked when they are fully mature, in other words orange,oranges are picked when they are green and color added to make them look ripe,the reason being is that oranges would rot for shipping if picked fully matured while carrots last for a long time before it starts to rot

Why does coal glow when i blow at it? when im actually  blowing out carbon dioxide should it not estinguish it?

if you breath you only get about 20% of the total amount of oxygen out of the air. The remaining oxygen you blow onto the coal which helps it to re-ignite for a sec.


I got certain answers saying that the reason Bush was voted for was because of his tax cuts. If YOU have benefited from these and live in the US then kindly inform me: How big IS your income?

Huh $2.50 Gas shoulda took all of it back and more. I didn't give you (long pause while try to think of a word for(longer pause) )


what are you asking? how to find him or how to cope. Details please!!


This question isn't to make a point... I really wan't to understand.\n\nMost Conservative Christians are Republican. Yet Republicans support lower taxes for the rich and fewer government programs for the poor. But aren't true Christians supposed to want to help the less fortunate? So shouldn't they support assistance for the poor?\n\nJust wondering...

In short, many Christians are Repulicans because Republicans have embraced Christians as a voting power.\n\nThe reasons that most Christians are Republicans are not because of taxes, but because of abortion. In the 60s, there was no "Religious Right." Christian votes were split fairly quickly between parties, and the real divisions were geographic.\n\nIn the 70s, many Christians felt abandoned by the Democratic Party. The "Religious Right" as a voting power did not develop until the early 80s with the founding of the Moral Majority by Jerry Falwell. And it was really only until the 2000 election that they were recognized as a powerhouse and courted by the Republican party.\n\nBasically the Christians started voting Republican not because they felt that the Republicans were inherently better than Democrats, but because Democrats stopped paying attention to them and their interests.\n\nIf and when the Democratic Party actually starts recognizing and courting the Christian vote, which I believe they will no later than 2012, you'll begin to see a real change in the voting patterns of Christians.


Polls show that a team that couldn't even win their own division which was won by by a team that has a nickname of the Bungles has a 70% win prediction.\n It kinda reminds me of that guy who was on welfare that won the lottery.

I have vocal nodules on each side of my vocal cords. My voice is week. It come and goes. I've had this problem for 10 weeks. I have no other symptoms. The Doctor prescibed me a 5 day supply of methylprednisolne 4MG. He said it comes from straining and to refain from singing for 6 months or raising my voice. I now getting a dry cough.  Can you give me more information on my problem. Is there someone that has had this problem without it returning. Or does it go away at all.  Please help!

I'm not a doctor, but I've been around a lot of singers, and I can tell you this is a serious problem that needs a doctor specializing in vocal cords who has worked with singers.  Don't just go to an internist or ear, nose & throat dr. for this, especially if you want to sing again. Also, you may need to change voice teachers.  You're using your voice incorrectly, and if you don't correct the root problem, the nodules will just come back.  An excellent doctor for this is Robert Sataloff in Philadelphia.

I want to know the info in order to purchase a new machine.

A desktop computer will almost always radiate more heat and other 'radiation' than a laptop because a laptop is desired to be used literally in the lap, as well as in flying airplanes. Also, laptop screens (such as LCD) throw off much less headache inducing energies than CRT monitors.


A women walks into a cafe. She walks up to the clerk and asks," can I get a glass of water." The clerk didn't say any thing and pulled out a gun. A few seconds passed and the women said," Thank you." and walked out. Why did the women say thank you and what happened?

she had the hic-ups and asked for water to get rid of them but the clerk new that scaring her was better for hic-ups so he scared her with the gun that he had and got rid of them, so she thanked him.


Is there anyone who will be converted by all of these one sided superfluous diatribes on either side of this argument?It would be great if the Christians and other denominations would be allowed to believe what they choose. It would also be great if people with differing opinions were alowed the same freedom.I've never seen such selfish and bitter disputes over such a personal issue as faith.I applaud the faithful for adhering to their beliefs.It's just that I see things with my own eyes.Who is anyone to tell me what I see?I don't presume to know how you see your relationship wih God.We should all show our faith in our actions and lead through example. If you use narrow arguments like a club to beat people down,you're missing a chance to actualy show someone what you would consider to be The Light.Anger and bitterness are not good tools when attempting to enlighten others.Take a step back and try not talking down at people.You may not change minds,but you'll show and get more respect.

Hello.. :)\n\nI am asking for forgiveness, if I have shown anything other than Love in my answers..for Jesus came not to condemn,  but show us how to Love one another..\n\nI Love everyone, no matter what faith they are, for my Lord gave His life for everyone, not just me.. :)\n\nThis is a great question..I give it 10 thumbs up.. :)\n\nIn Jesus Most Precious Name..\nWith Love..In Christ

I'm in pacific time, so is it at 8 or 9? or neither?

TV Programs are first broadcast on the East Coast and then three hours later on the West Coast.  Thus, when they say 9/8 Central, they mean that the show comes on at 9:00 PM in the Atlantic and Pacific time zones (the latter being rebroadcast.)  But rather than rebroadcasting the show in the Central time zone, they simply broadcast it at the same time.\n\nNow, since Central is one hour ahead of Atlantic, a show which is broadcast at 9:00 in the latter time zone, will play simultaneously at 8:00 in the former.

I know the average lifespan of a human has drasticly increased as time went on, but I want to know what is the current life pan of a human. As for the lifespan of the longest living animal I want to know, if you know, how many human years are in one year for the animal.

A tortoise can live for 170 years, one recently was found with an old ball musket round embeded in it.  The average lifespan for Females is around 80 years and males about 74.  It is difficult to give any degree of precision because of so many external factors that influence this number.  However, on a small scale there are bacteria that can live many thousands of years while frozen.


Easy to use, without annoying interuptions or false attack warnings, but still has a lot of functionality?

check this link it most answers ur question\nhttp://macarlo.com/firewallreport.htm\n\nbut u can  also read here....\n\nThe best solution is a combination of a Hardware and Software Firewall.  The Hardware box protects your perimeter before things get into your network or to your box and takes some of the load off of the software firewall.  The Software firewall then provides a further layer of protection for your computer.  With different vendors too, you get a more balanced level of protection.\n\nFor example, a nice Watchguard Firebox X Edge protects my perimeter.  It runs about $350.  It provides NAT and DHCP and will block all ports incoming unless I specifically open them up, like RDP or PCAnywhere.\n\nOn my computer then, I have Norton Internet Security.  It provides a further layer of protection.  Since the Hardware Firewall takes care of the majority of hack attacks from the Internet, my software firewall doesn't have to work as hard and my PC can use more of it's processing power for other things.  The Software firewall also protects the PC from any threat that might start from inside my network and also from malicious code that might piggyback on legitimate web requests.  The Hardware firewall will do some of that, but the software one picks up where the hardware leaves off.  The software firewall by default also blocks all outgoing requests unless I permit it.\n\nI like the Norton Internet Security, but have used Zone Alarm in the past and it has been very good.  At work, I use Windows XP XP2 firewall to further protect my internal clients.\n\nOf course on top of those things, I run Norton AntiVirus, SpySweeper 3.5, SpyBot 1.3 and use Ad Aware to augment the others.  POPupCop helps protect my PC from PopUP disaster and I use Windows Washer 5.5 to keep the Internet clutter at bay after each web session.


How do cockroaches live in extreme drastic conditions? I have read that even if we snap its head it can survive upto 8 days and then dies, not because of its head removed, but due to starvation.

Cockroaches are generally either scavengers or omnivores. The exception to this is the wood eating Cryptocercus species found in China and the United States. Although they are incapable of digesting the cellulose themselves, they have a symbiotic relationship with a protozoan that digests the cellulose, allowing them to extract the nutrients. In this, they are similar to termites. They are most common in tropical and subtropical climates. Some species are in close association with human dwellings and widely found around garbage or in the kitchen.\n\nFemale cockroaches are sometimes seen carrying egg cases on the end of their abdomen; the egg case of the German Cockroach holds about 30–40 long, thin eggs, packed like frankfurters in the case called an ootheca.\n\nThe eggs hatch from the combined pressure of the hatchlings gulping air and are initially bright white nymphs that continue inflating themselves with air and harden and darken within about four hours. Their transient white stage while hatching and later while molting has led to many individuals claiming to have seen albino cockroaches.\n\nA female German cockroach carries an egg capsule containing around 40 eggs. She drops the capsule prior to hatching. Development from eggs to adults takes 3–4 months. Cockroaches live up to a year. The female may produce up to eight egg cases in a lifetime. In other words, in favorable conditions it can produce 300–400 offspring.\n\nA regular cockroach, however, can produce an extremely high number of eggs in her lifetime. She lays up to 100 eggs in each egg sac. She only needs to be impregnated once to be able to lay eggs for the rest of her life, allowing one single cockroach to lay over a million eggs in her lifetime.\n\nThe world's largest cockroach is the Australian giant burrowing cockroach, which can grow to 9 cm in length and weigh more than 30 grams. Comparable in size is the giant cockroach Blaberus giganteus, which grows to a similar length but is not as massive.\n\nCockroaches are mainly nocturnal, and will run away when exposed to light. A peculiar exception is the Oriental Cockroach which is attracted to light, thus making it a far more annoying pest. Roaches are actually very clean insects, even though they eat garbage. They are called the custodians of nature. They only live in houses where there are crumbs to eat or the garbage can is uncovered. They lay eggs inside the house's hollow walls.\n\nThe roach is also one of the hardiest insects on the planet, capable of living for a month without food and remaining alive headless for up to a week. It can also hold its breath for 45 minutes and has the ability to slow down its heart rate. Cockroaches also have a very high resistance to radiation[1]

Not quite. Years divisible by 100 are not leap years unless they are also divisible by 400. 2000 was a leap year, 2100 won't be a leap year.\n\nSo every 400 years you get 97 leap years, slightly less that 1/4.

If you are standing in the middle on top of a long fast moving train and lightning strikes both the engine and the caboose simultaneously, why do you see both strikes with a lag between the front and rear if time is not a place;  as compared to a stationary  observer that is not on the fast moving train that is away from and perpendicular to your position , seeing  both strikes occur simultaneously?

According to Albert Einstien, time is a place.


Trying to play a network TCP/IP connection of HOMM2 (game) with one player in US and one in Asia. Bad network connection apparently, and ping times out.\n\nThe game starts but eventually crashes on the Asia end, (sometimes the US end too). What is a possible solution to improve the connection. Both sides are DSL.

Well if its a direct IP to IP connection, meaning there is no server, theres not much you can do. What you can do is basically do all the small normal things people do to improve their connection, Spyware/Adware scan, disable any programs that take up Internet or system system resouces, and update the networking card drivers, you can also try using a diffent protocol for the game, like TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, ect. The best thing to do, would actually to use a server for the game, and let it handle everything.

I hold Italian citizenship as well as American.  Since I spend most of my time in America, do I have any obligations to the Italian State?\n\nI am considering voting in the upcoming election.

if that is what the Italian consulate says then it has to be true.

I recently went to a retail store and bought something that was way too heavy for me to get into my car.  A store employee walked out to my car with me and put it into my car for me, and when I offered him a tip, he politely refused it.  I was later told that a lot of stores have rules against the employees getting tips.  Since tips are something the customer gives freely, shouldn't the customer be allowed to give a tip if they want to when a store employee does something extra for them?  It's not as if I felt forced to offer a tip.  Also, given the low wages retail employees (especially teenagers) are paid, what is the harm in them earning a little extra through tips?

sheer policy madness.\ntipping should not be an obligation, but I wonder whether it is good on part of employers to ban tipping.

I'm in Washington now and didn't know if it went by area code or by state.  I think when we called the outer islands( I never did) it was long distance.

First of all..ALOHA!!!... I was also born and raised in the islands!  I think that the phone book should be a good reference on how to dail complete numbers over the telephone and it also depennds on the area of the state that you live on due to the fact that so states have more that 1 area code!\n\nI hope that helps alot!

i know that the us requires people naturalizing to become us citizens to renounce their other citizenship...some countries won't recognize the renunciation and thus these people are considered dual citizens - however is canada one of these countries, ie if i became a naturalized american, would canada no longer recognize me as a citizen?

Canada would still consider the person a citizen unless they formally renounced their citizenship, which is not required by the US.


Win XP, sp2, everything seems OK, but...\n\nThere is One specific folder (as far as I know), that can not be opened using double click, or right click>open.\n\nwhen I try that - the window gets hung, and after a  couple of seconds I can terminate the process, and everything is back to normal.\n\nThe files inside the folder are OK, I can browse to them from applications, and I do manage to open this folder using the windows explorer. I explore the folder above this one, and open it from the left panel - and then everything is OK. When I try the right panel - it reacts the same as before.\n\nI tried a thorough chkdsk - everything is OK.\n\nI tried to move the contents of the folder to a new folder - same behavior.\n\nAny idea anyone? any logfile I can browse to find what the problem is?\n\nThanks a lot, wish I could give 1000 points to anyone helping in this issue...

First, since the files are movable, move them one at a time until you find which is causing you trouble - then delete it.\nSince the files are accessible from other programs, I'd open them and save them in a working folder.\nIf you haven't tried to move things around using the command line (DOS), that might be of some help.


I basically want to know about this church, and I can't find info about them anywhere. I just have a few questions, and any help would be appreciated.\n\nAre they the same people I keep hearing about on the news? Was the church founded by a group of scientists? Do they hold the same basic beliefs (that Jesus is the son of God) as traditional Christians (Catholics/Evangelicals)? What are the fundamental tenets of their faith?

This group is also known as Christian Science. No, they're not the group you keep hearing about - that's the Scientologists, who are completely different. \n\nThe church has a pretty misleading name - it was not founded by scientists, and most people who ARE scientists would have nothing to do with this church. It was founded by  Mary Baker Eddy in 1879, following a personal healing experience, which she believed to be the result of her Christian faith. The Bible and Eddy's book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures are the church's key doctrinal sources (they are called textbooks within the denomination).\n\nBasically, the church believes in depending on prayer, rather than medicine, for healing from disease. \n\nWikipedia says the main tenet of their beliefs is that "Eddy argues that given the absolute goodness and perfection of God, sin, disease, and death were not created by Him, and therefore cannot be truly real. She bases this reading on Genesis 1, calling that the true record of creation in contrast to Genesis 2, the false record of creation obscuring the true (which occurred when "a mist went up from the face of the ground"). Rather than being ontologically real, in Christian Science evil and its manifestations are instead terrible lies about God and His creation. This, it contends, is what Jesus meant when he said that "the devil is a liar and the father of it" (John 8:44). The demand for Christians, therefore, is to "unmask" the devil's lies through Christ, revealing the true and eternal perfection of God's creation. Eddy therefore called evil "error" and felt it could be remedied through a better spiritual understanding of humanity's relationship to God. She contended that this understanding was what enabled the biblical Jesus to heal.\n\nThis teaching is the foundation of the Christian Science principle that disease – and any other adversity – can be cured through prayerful efforts, made possible only by God's grace, to fully understand this spiritual relationship."\n\nFrom what I've heard, the churches are mostly dying out, and those who still go are pretty much elderly. \n\nTechnically, they believe in the Trinity, but not in a way that would be accepted by most Christians. Eddy distinguished between Jesus' humanity and His divinity, which would not be accepted by churches today. She also called the the Godhead "Father Mother", and she calls Christ "the spiritual idea of sonship" that Jesus fully lived, or "demonstrated," for the sake of those who would follow him. She calls the Holy Ghost "divine Science or the Holy Comforter," the spiritual principles of Christian Science operating as the Holy Ghost in the world.\n\nAs you can tell, the above definitions of the Trinity are not what are commonly agreed upon in churches.\n\nSo bottom line, it's a strange church with not very helpful beliefs, and its numbers are dwindling.


Curious... when i dont eat enough fiber i tend to bleed in my pooh (yuk!) and so because i read that the tetnaus bacteria lives in soil and manure was wondering since i am bleeding in my #2 (it feels like the cut is near the sphinkter area btw) then would i be in danger of an infection if i havent had my tetanus shots in over 10 years?\n\nThanks

You could have an anal tear that may need a doctors help. I have bled there before and had to see a digestive specialist. See a doctor ASAP. Not to scare you but it could be a sign of cancer. This is why I saw my doctor as soon as it started.


IM an athiest and my soon to be wife is highly religous christian. What should I do?

Don't give in to her religion. Tell her that you respect her belief, but that she has to respect your atheism as well. It would be the best for her to stop believing, though.


I've checked for viruses, and nothing.  When I do a search on google.com, other sites pop up, instead of the one I'm clicking on.  I have no idea what's taken over, but the antivirus is not picking anything up.  Any idea?

I know that hypertension is not something to be taken lightly but if monitored and at the lower end of the scale are there any alternatives to taking the meds? My mom's BP is not that high but every medication she takes makes her have a dry cough. Is there a natural alternative or anything she can try? Preferably herbal?

First and foremost, relax. Proper relaxation ritual, is very important. Also she should probably cut down on stimulants such as caffiene, and keep a healthy level of activity. Long walks and the like.


If we somehow accelerate to a speed greater than that of light, travelling to the past might make sense. But travelling to future? It hasnt happened yet! Then how?

One type of time travel occurs routinely here and now: our inexorable one-way drift into the future. Einstein's special theory of relativity revealed the possibility of accelerated travel into the future \nSuppose a person spends a year in a rocket that's traveling slightly less than the speed of light. Because motion at such enormous speeds drastically slows the clock for the traveler, that person could return to Earth to find that many years had elapsed at home. In that way, a traveler could leap into the future.


I'm a 22 y/o guy living in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, PA.  I just recently came to terms with the fact that I'm bisexual, and so far, it's been great being myself.  I've only had a few girlfriends, and haven't been with a guy yet.  Here's my dilemma.... I have a crush on a dude at work, and I'd love to ask him out, but I dont know if he's gay.  He's pretty "straight-acting" like myself, but there are some signs that make me think he might be gay, such as the fact that he stares at me everytime I pass him in the office and he's pretty shy around me.  So, my big question is, how do I find out if he's gay without offending him?  Any help is much needed and appreciated.  Thanx.

PLEASE! For the sake of embarrassment, DON'T ASK HIM!! If he's still in the closet, he'll only get angry, and you'll lose any chance of ever finding out. Instead of asking him, just put yourself out there if you are comfortable with your bisexuality. Do you have any close friends at work who may be friends with him also? They may be able to find out in some mysterious way. My best friend is a gay male, and he just recently came out over the summer of 2005. He's going through the same thing right now. It's tough, but hang in there. You just need to build your confidence, and the rest will come! Best of luck!
