While watching the mini series (episode "The Breaking Pont"), Lt Dike was often called Foxhole Norman. Maybe I'm missing the obvious, but what does that term mean?

I love that mini-series. I watch at least once a year. Lt. Dike was a horrible leader...I think the name, "Foxhole Norman" means that he commanded his troops from a safe distance. He never was around to really lead and certainly not to support his men. I wonder how many lives would've been saved if Lipman was in charge from the git go.

My co-worker likes to throw things at me like a tiny windex bottle or pencils...is this an HR issue?

A power cycle rejects heat to a thermal reservoir at a temperature  of 400K.  1200 kJ of heat transfew into the cycle comes from a hotter reservoir at 600K.  If the thermal efficiency of the cycle is 50%, determine the ENTROPY produced (or generated). Is the process possible?  Can you explain to me how to find the entropy produced and why or why not the process would be possible????? PLEASE..

The efficiency of an ideal engine is (1- T2/T1) or (T1- T2)/T1 = (600 - 400) / 600 =0.333.\nBut in the problem it is given that it is 0.5 which is not possible.

i hate the dentist and refuse to go, but it its kind of un even

Go to the Dentist. My brother broke his tooth they put a cap on it like I think they made a new bit of tooth and glued it on for him. But coz it was more than a chip he lost half of his tooth they inserted a little pin in the tooth to hold it in. But he said it didn't hurt and his tooth looks very good. Maybe just go to the dentist explain u don't like going to the dentist just ask him if he could have a look then ask him what he would do to repair ur tooth and if it sounds scary u don't have to go through with it.


Kind of like the Kevin Bacon game, but not quite! I will name a actor. The next post connects that actor to another and state the film they were in together and a new one with the new actor. The next person conects the new actor from the recent post to another and so on. Movies only (must have plaid on the big screen- not diret to video and no television shows). No Voice Acting. And must have been on screen (On set that day or directed or was on the crew- none of that!!) I also know I said actor and not Actress. I'm using the term to mean both. Good Luck!\n\nThe winner will be the last one in the time limit who hasn't broke the chain. Meaning if someone screws up and the chain keeps going from that mess up. The winner would be the person before the broken chain! Get it?\n\nNOTICE: You have to connect the Actor to this post first!\n\nLeslie Nielsen IN "Scary Movie 4" to...

How many pounds do  you intend to lose? As how we grow fat, we know it how our body accumulate fat. So to reverse it, I think you know more than we do how is your body metabolism working. Just go on a healthy diet. The fastest way is to go through operation.

I had a cat scan and waiting for an appointment with a Neurologist. Here is how the scan read can anyone tell me what this could mean as I wait for the neuro. Dr. I went to the Dr. because I am having bad tremors mostly at night.... every night for months from head to toe Here is how the scan reads......... Findings---- A 3 mm oval hyperdensity possibly a foriegn object anteroir to the right globe.  I know that globe referrs to the eye and I have not been in an accident of any kind as far as the word foriegn goes. ANY CLUES ???????  Thanks again, Tina

The second and third answers are closer to correct, but contact lenses, dust and granules will not show up on a CT scan.  Hypodense does mean it is whiter/brighter, but that would not be those things.  Some hypodense foreign objects could be small pieces of metal.  You would be amazed at how many people have these things near/in their eyes and are unaware.  This is the reason why we do screening orbital x-rays on welders, grinders, even jewelery makers, before they have a MRI and are exposed to a magnetic field.  Sometimes we find such objects before a MRI and the patient had no clue it was there.  Another foreign body of this type would be something like a BB pellet.  I am unsure how glass would look for certain, but I think it could appear this way.  I think you will find, after your neuro appointment, that this is merely an incidental finding, meaning it is something that is coincidental and not causing your symptoms.


I would like to register with yahoo search, can anyone help?

I would like to get a brief synopis of the play Romeo and Juliette

1. Conflict shown between Montagues and Capulets.  The Price of Padua bans all fighting.  Romeo crashes a Capulet party, sees Juliet, and forgets all about some other woman he was in love with before.  Later he climbs up on Juliet's balcony and finds out she loves him back.  They kiss.\n\n2. Romeo and Juliet decide to get married and find a willing priest to marry them.  Romeo and Tybalt (Juliet's brother) get into an argument and Mercutio (Romeo's friend) gets in the way.  Tybalt kills Mercutio and Romeo kills Tybalt.  Juliet hears of this news and is upset.  Romeo is banished by the Prince and must flee Padua.\n\n3.  In order to flee Padua to be with Romeo (now her husband) Juliet takes poison to feign death.  Juliet's nurse is supposed to tell Romeo but she is harassed by Romeo's friends, gets angry, and doesn't give anyone the message.  Romeo thinks Juliet is really dead, visits her crypt, takes some poison, and drinks.  He dies.  Juliet wakes up, sees Romeo dead, takes his dagger, and kills herself.  Everyone else find them lying together and is very sorry.\n\nUpdate:  Both the Montagues and the Capulets are rival noble families in Padua (Italy).  They are not of different social classes, they're just mad at each other.

The faster or more water it boils gives us a better grade.  We also can make coffee or tea.  I know some form of insulation and mirror is needed.  I just need the more suggestions.  Maybe from anyone who has ever done this before.

You can try a classic solar cooker design this is just a black box that has a foil interior shaped is a parabola with the water at the vertex.  Try this site it has some good pictures and details!  Do not forget to tag your sources!  Also try to place the water in a vacuum as previously mentioned, not a perfect vacuum but even a slight one will help.

This year my closet friend changed so much i don't reconize her whenever i tried to talk to her about it she would say look i've changed so deal with it. Recently she wrote me a letter saying a whole bunch of mean things and stating she didn't want to be friends anymore but just be "aquaintances" what she didn't say was now she doesn't want anything to do with me. I have other friends but the loss of her friendship keeps coming back to me and i feel so empty without her. How can i make this feeling go away and move on with my life?

okay...first of all let her be...its hard at first but you will get through it...if you ignore her maybe she will realize what she lost...and if she doesn't then that's her lost ..it hurts but dont bring yourself down ...if you tried to mend things and she didn't then you know she was really not a good Friend....;)


SHE IS NOT A GOOD SINGER!  That Stevie Wonder song was the most boring performance Ive ever seen!  Not to mention, she messed up the lyrics and nobody even said anything about it! \n\nI THINK ITS RIDICULOUS THAT SHE IS STAYING IN JUST BECAUSE SHE IS "CUTE" AND A "SOUTHERN BELLE"!!!!!!  Thats not what American Idol is about!!  ITS ABOUT THE SINGING! Come on people, vote for the ones who REALLY deserve it!\n\nOK, I feel better now.

I agree with you 110%! Kelly should've been in the bottom three and even voted off last night in Idol. Her performance of the Stevie Wonder song was absolutely horrid... I think it even made my ears bleed! (yikes). I have no idea why she's still there, I guess its because Simon likes her so much and America thinks she's cute. But like you said, you can't win American Idol on your looks, its supposed to be out singing! Hopefully she'll get voted off soon. And Kevin too.


The Dogfish shark is pretty small to be dangerous.  It's not much larger than a small cat... and like most craetures more scared of humans than anything else so no they are not going to attack you or anything.

Er, I'm a solitaire eclectic Wiccan with a predeliction for Chaos, with a simple working style (ie: try everything and pick what works best).

There is no way to shield yourself when invoking evil spirits. Since God is more powerful than anything you could call up, why don't you try asking him for something and see what the answer will be?


Sorry this question is so weird.. but I'm worried! Every morning at work I drink coffee.  But 10-15 minutes later I always get gas... and then.. I have to go to the bathroom.  WHY?

Coffee is a stimulant and irritant first of all. when you drink coffee and you haven't eaten anything before, your body perceives as food and the digestion starts leading to you wanting to go the 'toilette'. apart from that, if you add milk or cream and you intolerance this is what is causing it. if not, it's the first thing that i mentioned. you can switch to homeopathic coffee named CARO by NESTLE (available in most health stores or pharmacies). personally, i like it and it doesn't contain caffeine.


no offence guys, but seriously.. when i walked around esp in the city, i always saw gorgeous women but quite rare to see a handsome guy =)

oh poison you wanna see here . some spunks over this way the men here are yummo.. so you must be in the wrong city town or suburb,\nthis is a womens haven here.. oh and if i could whistle on here you would hear it..


Seriously, the type of man that is attracted to me is not at all what I enjoy.  Whenever I meet a man, he is uber-clingy, and I can't stand that.  I always meet the kind of guy that wants to talk on the phone five times a day, and gets upset when I want to be with my friends or just be alone.  I am an independant person and I hate feeling like someone is all over me.  I like someone who wants to watch football on sundays, and I always attract the ones who have never watched a sporting event in their lives.  I like the normal, all-american type of man, but they are not attracted to me at all.  What can I do to get the kind of man that I want, because nothing is working for me?

Do you dress well? Work in an office setting? You seem to be attracting the professional types. I'd say put on some blue jeans, t-shirt w/e and go out with a few friends and hit some blue collar type pubs with one or more tv's on a sports channel and see what happens. I've never had trouble attracting the all american type going to places like that.\n\nGood luck, take care .. Buh bye.


I completed a Complete Blood Count.  My White Blood Count of 3.8 was low for the lab’s normal range of 4.5-11.0.  My neutrophils percentage of 39.3 was low for the lab’s normal range of 50-70.  However, my lymphocytes percentage of 50.0 was high for the lab’s normal range of 20-40.  Should I be concerned about my ranges being outside the normal range?  I have been taking a daily aspirin for the past few weeks would that affect it?

Your Lymphocyte count is on the high side and the neutrophil and Total white blood cell count is on the low side.  It shows you are having some chronic infection, Lympho proliferative disorders,  drug reaction, etc, etc.   You have not mentioned about the  Eosinophils. Nor the ESR  and Hb. taken. So consult the Physician

Is it possible to achieve steady-state conditions in a solid cylinder or sphere that is experiencing heat generation and whose surface is perfectly insulated? Explain.

No.  In theory, the cylinder will heat up indefinitely.  However it will likely melt or have imperfect insulation in the real world.\n\nCheck out Conduction of Heat in Solids by Carslaw and Jaeger.  It's a classic book with all of these solutions in it.

but the thing is my school doesn't teach massage therapy, and i am afraid my mother won't approve of my massage therapy dreams since she and my dad are paying for my schooling. HOW CAN I GET HER TO LISTEN AND TO CHECK OUT THE SCHOOL AND/OR WEBSITE?

I took 1 year of a 3 year course in Canada, it was really intense and hard, but worth it... I didn't finish at the time because my son was only 2 years old, and demanding more and more of my time...  anyhow back on track!  Massage Therapy is a field with many many possibilities, from sports therapy, to spas... I would ask you parents to consider the possibility (among others) and then go with them to a collage open house, where you can meet with the instructors and get all of you/you parents questions asked... If you are serious about this career path, you parents will see that and come around! if worse comes to worse you can always take some time off between courses and work to save up for your tuition! Good luck in your endeavors... if you have any more questions e-mail me: hugh0076@yahoo.com


Filing several 1099-misc. & schedule C's for same type of business

You report all the 1099's. You only need 1 schedule C if you only had 1 business. The 1099's get added up and go in income. If you have tax software you just enter in the 1099's and the program will transfer the income. If you have other income that you did not get a 1099 for you will have to add that amount. Be sure to take every thing that you use for that business on the schedule C. Take some time to think so you don't miss anything. I'll keep watching if you have more ?'s


Can a person who has been though a divorce truly love somebody new, unconditionally, with no strings attached?

I seperated from my husband 3 1/2 years ago. We have a 3 1/2 year old son. We divorced in April of 2005. I have been dating my fiancee for about 2 1/2 years now and we live together with my son and are expecting our own baby in 1 week :) We are getting married in May 2006. I have to say that yes, it is possible to find true love after a divorce. I did. And I guess I'm one of the lucky ones to have been able to find someone who loves me and my son unconditionally. At first, I did have trust issues since my exhusband and an affair a week after own son was born. But I have learned to totally trust my fiancee with every ounce of my heart. He's a great man and I wish that I would have met him sooner. It does take time. You just have to learn to learn from mistakes in the past instead of letting the mistakes rule your life. Forgive and forget. Realize that the person you are with now is not the same person that hurt you in the past. They are two totally different people with two totally different set of morals. Once you come to realize this, you will be fine. Good Luck :)


This guy says he loves me.  However, he doesn't act like he does.  The only time he acts interested in what I have to say is if it's about sex...could I be wrong? Or, does this sound like I'm right to think that?  See-this guy wouldn't date me because he says I live too far away from him, but he's willing to do that with me...what do you think?

you deserve better...look for someone who can give you what you need.


I am married now and my husband hates that I try to breathe and kiss.  I want to do it right and please him, but I can't breathe any other way. (Asthmatic-- and never learned to breathe through my nose since I couldn't until age 13).  I make sure my teeth and mouth are clean-- (mouthwash etc) but it never works... He feels funny trying to teach me to kiss. YIKES!!  and HELP!

well your husband should be understanding, kiss isnt the only way you can please him. If he really loved you he wouldnt care. Try very strong minty gum, that usually clears my sinuses when i chew it. Try a sex therapist, they may give you tips.


Why Do My children Ignore Me?When I try to talk to them they act like I'm stupid,ignorant and dumb.I have 3 daughters,ages:31,28,26 and I'm 62.Seems to me they or me has lost connections,I don't Know what to do.I live with one of them,the other 2 get very jealous and very hostile toward me.I would like to stay where I am,BUT she wants me to leave so her exhusband can move in.I take care of her 2 boys ages;9and 4 and never got a dime from her,I have never asked her for anything either.I pay the rent and they do as they please.They never take me anywhere.I am dissabled and can't drive.This is driving me NUTTS!I feel like i'm somewhere I'm not wanted.PLEASE HELP

You say you pay the rent, not the daughter, so why doesn't the daughter move out.  My daughters are 26 and 22.  I guess I am one of the lucky ones, as my daughters treat me with respect. They were raised to respect me and their elders. \nMy advice to you would be to try tough love.  Move out out the house and cool it towards the kids for awhile.  Give them the cold shoulder and do not give them any money, free childcare or anything else.  These daughters do not respect you and sound like they use you.  They need to be taught a lesson.\nYou say you are disabled.  I am sorry to hear that, as it makes your situation even harder to deal with, but you must make a stand.\nIf you can't afford to live alone, take out a newspaper ad looking for another older lady to share rent and expenses.  Who knows, maybe you will be happier living away from your daughter and being more independent.

I need something I can buy in a store because her birthday is today.  She has a lot of stuff and isn't low on funds.  She doesn't go out often because it is difficult for her so she prefers to stay at home reading the newspaper in front of the TV all day.  Last year I got her a fruit basket, I have also recently given her a watch that didn't fit her, and I usually give her some sort of chocolate as well.\n\nI'm looking for something different.  She doesn't want a plant or anything breakable because she is afraid the cats will knock it down.  She has tons of books but she didn't like the last one I got her.  \n\nSo I am wondering if anyone has any ideas of a gift she might like?\n\nI was also thinking of something that would entertain her when she's by herself - like a 1 person activity.  She also has a dog and 4 cats that she loves.  So anything to interact with them might be an idea.

Choose any of the gifts mentioned below.\n\nCrossword book, sudoko puzzle.\n\nToys from a pet shops for the dogs. \n\nYear-long Subscription for her fav. magazine starting from her b/day\n\nHome-pedicure, manicure or facial....?

Ok look when his dad left him i think he took dustins ability to love with him. He will get so into a relationship and then break it off because he doesnt want to be hurt again. He has had such a rough life for him...but when eveer i am with him he asks me how i did that and when i ask what he says how is it when i a with you i feel so good about myself, and nothing else matters. But he is so scared of me leaving someday that he dumped me before i could think about dumping him ( never going to happen) i love him DUH! What am i going to do????????????????? to prove i wont hurt him? i have tried everything!!!

Sounds like he needs someone that won't give up on him.


Ok, I doubt you can do 500. I can do like 20.


i like this girl bad i need advice on when to ask her out she jus got divorced well moved out gettn one soon when should i ask her out because she told me she would date me but not right now and not for a while or will she let me know

I agree with MissR, let her get her life in some sort of order before you try anything. You should just try to be there for her, a shoulder to cry on and a great friend to talk to. That will mean a lot to her and she will be more likely to come to you when she is ready to date again cuz she knows you will be there for her when she really needs it.

Am I to friendly if I want to be friends with just about everyone?

well being friendly is a wonderful characteristic, not everyone is like that! but making friends also depends in how their character is.


I do. They are very negative and useless. Agree? Disagree?

not all "fat chicks" are useless... i would consider myself overweight & i am a happy person :) although i do agree, some "fat chicks" are very negative...


I tried software that failed to get him out. \nConsensus is toward a rebuild of the hard-drive.\nSince I have to reformat anyway, I bought an upgrade to Home XP. Now, what is the correct proceedure to wind up with a properly working 1999 Compaq. It's  running win 98se now.

the first thing to do is make sure your system is at least equal to minimum requirements as listed on the home xp box. From there the install is as easy as 123. It should overwrite anything malicious that it comes across. If not you may try using the system disc that came with your computer to do a clean re-install and then again do the home xp upgrade. I hope this helps and good luck.


Approaching for sale by owners. most do not think they need a Realtor, but lawyers can be just as expense. Anyone have any tips for getting that types of business please share. very hard market to break into because of the way these people feel about realtors.

I feel that alot of your problem is your attitude about the way people perceive agents.  The truth is everybody has different ideas, some people will love you and some will not!  We cannot generalize so much in life!  The very first FSBO I visited was so glad to see me I could not believe it!\nThey were asking for help with their little sign.  It made such an impression on me that every time I see a FSBO ad in the paper I look up the address and go drop in on them unannounced as if I just saw the sign and was curious, face to face, you cannot beat that and you are usually welcomed with open arms.  Another really effective attitude adjustment is that I try to imagine the person I am visiting is a relative who I want to help.  It is amazing how different you will act towards them.  So, see it is all about you, not them!  Good Luck!


he and i have been friends for over a year now and he has always been there for me when i need him. i like him alot and would do anything i could for him as well. i often get mixed signals from him and it's very confusing. one day he's saying hello beautiful and the next he shows up with another girl driving his truck. i had even moved over 600 miles away and it didn't change how i felt and he was still there for me while i was gone and was delighted when i came back. how do i gauge whether or not there is a spark of interest? i don't want to lose him as my friend because he is the best friend i've ever had. but i don't want to miss out on the chance to be the happiest i've ever been if he feels the same about me and is just not sure how to tell me either. what can i do? help!

Go for it, if he doesn't feel the same and you want to keep the freindship...act like you were just curious and that it wasn't that big of a deal anyway. He may be thinking the same thing as you and you're both afraid to go for it. If you ever get signals from him in that way, he has feelings for you.


If you could choose one artist to listen to for the rest of your lives. Only one! And you had a choice between the above mentioned groups choose on and explain why. also, list the song that you would like to listen 2 for the rest of your life

1.Him because I like them more than the others. Songs I prefer RAZORBLADE, and all the songs of 'Dark light'\nIf I can have an extra bonus band to listen, I choose \n2.The Rasmus\n3.Green Day\nBut not for the rest of my life

THE REST OF MY BODY IS IN GOOD SHAPE AS IM PRETTY ACTIVE, i WORK OUT EVERY DAY AND PLAY ICE HOCKEY 3 DAYS A WEEK. IM IN MY MID 30'S AND I JUST CANT SEEM TO SHED MY GUT.HELP

First, rid the house of beer and ice cream.\nSecond, eat gradually like 5 small meals/snacks a day rather than 3 huge meals. You dont have to eat a lot each time, just some small healthy snack.

I am trying to find the nearest large constellation that delphinus is part of and also if it is in Cancer, Sagitarius, etc. I've been searching all day and am so confused...

Delphinus is a constellation, also called the dolphin.  It's pretty small (five stars), but NOT part of another constellation.  I suppose it's fairly close to Sagittarius and Aquarius, but every constellation has its own space, actually drawn out like the borders of countries on a geographical map...if a star is in a constellation's space but is not part of the constellation, it's still described as being "in" the constellation.  \n\nEvery square mile of visible night sky is mapped out like this, so every visible star, nebula, and galaxy is officially in one of the constellations.  But only one.


I have an honest need to tunnel through a small hill to access water from a creek.  It will be 1,000 ft to the other side of the hill.  I could hire people to dig this tunnel the old fashion way, and it would take about 1 year to finish.\n\nI am looking for an easier and less costly way to tunnel through 1,000 ft.\n\nSome options.\n\n1) Manual digging.\n2) Use a well auger that is running horizontal instead of vertical.\n3) Use mining equipment.

The guys who did the Boston "Big Dig" used "box jacking" whereby a box was rammed into the side of the earth, then dug out, then rammed forward with hydraulic jacks.  The tunnel needed to be shored up as they went with sprayed concrete.  But hey, if you are just trying to get a pipe through there find a company that does lateral boring.  That's right.  They have a machine that bores down then sideways.  I have seen them install utilities this way.  The pipe should be big enough in diameter to carry the water line and electrical conduit for the pump, which should be located at the source (it will likely be impossible to locate the pump away from the source, because it will need to be primed.)


You know, like Mr. and Mrs. Smith; would it be appropriate to call them Mr. and Mr. Smith?  That doesn't seem right.

First of all, they would not have the same last name as homosexuals cannot objectively be married.\n\nRegardless of that fact, two male or two female friends might wish to regard themselves are "married" and share the same last name.\n\nIf they do in fact share the same last name, refer to them as "Messrs. Smith."  If they have their own last names, as they should, on an envelope you would refer to them as:\n\nMr. John Smith\nMr. Robert Jones\n80 Commonwealth Avenue\n[etc.]\n\nIf they have the same first name I, personally, would probably write:\n\nMr. John Smith\nMr. Robert Smith\n80 Commonwealth Avenue\n[etc.]\n\n[ADDITIONAL NOTES]\n\nAll these people who are saying, "address them by their first names" are narrow-minded.  We live in a culture of supposedly "instant friends," which is very shallow.  Be sure to show them respect and refer to them by their last names.


Linux isn't that hard to learn now. These years it has evolved to a point where a common user can practically use it to replace windows XP. the big one now is called Ubuntu Linux. Its a great system thats focusing on helping people, beginners and experienced users alike find that operating system that fits their needs. \nI have been using ubuntu linux as my main desktop for about a year. contrary to popular opinion, you don't need to read a book to get started. Jump in, and you'll find its similar to windows and easy to pick up. \n\ncheck out some of these screenshots of what linux is today:\nhttp://www.ubuntu.com/screenshots\nhttp://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/slideshow.php?release=465&slide=8&title=ubuntu+linux+5.10+rc+screenshots\n\ntheres lots of support on Ubuntu on the web, just do a quick search and information will come to you. \nhttp://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/software/os/0,39024175,39237493,00.htm\n\nHope to see you on the linux side


I want to lose a little weight and gain some muscle.does anyone have an everyday of the week workouts without getting a personal trainer.

go to seventeen.com or cosmogirl.com and they always have great workouts for teens that target different body areas.  the best part about it is that you dont need any special equiptment.


We tried sand before and it did not work very well.  We were also told to try 2" thick foam sheets and duct tape the sheets together.  Main purpose to protect the liner and comfortable footing when in the pool.  Thank you.

Rubber mulch tends to grab vinyl and might cause problems for you.  The mulch also has edges that can create pressure points.  Sand on the other hand molds to the bottom of the pool liner,  allows the liner to slide on the sand and has no edges or high spots that can create pressure points.  \n\nIf the sand din't work as you wanted, you might not have used enough sand or prepare the ground underneath as well as it could have been.  Exactly how much to use and how to prepare the ground varies greatly depending on the size of pool and the soil in your area.  A trip to your local pool dealer or home center should get you good answers to these questions.  There are alternatives to sand, but they are very expensive and tend to not last very long.\n\nFoam is also sometimes used but u still have to prep the ground and it tends to be more expensive than sand, can grab liners and breaks down in a season or two in many cases.

One of my friends at the local pub asked me this question to which Iwas not sure of the answer

What are the symptoms of thrush in a man?\n\nAnswer\n\nThrush [Candida albicans] is a type of yeast that takes advantage of warm moist locations. Generally speaking, if it causes an infection it is likely to be either in the mouth [oral thrush] or at the end of the penis, under the foreskin [balanitis]. More rarely, it's possible to get thrush infections elsewhere on the skin or in the intestine; but such manifestations tend to occur in folk who are already unwell with some other condition and they are relatively uncommon in healthy adults.\n\nThe symptoms are usually soreness and itching, with visibly inflamed red skin. In moist areas, like the mouth or under the foreskin, there is often, although not invariably, a white discharge that looks rather like cottage cheese. If there is any doubt, it's not difficult to confirm the infection with a swab test. It is usually easy to treat skin and genital infections with creams, such as Clotrimazole, and the oral form with Nystatin suspension or Amphotericin lozenges.\n\nI'd suggest discussing any persistent symptoms with your GP or practice nurse. If the man in question wants to try the creams, the local pharmacist should be able to give some advice and direction. However, if there are persistent or recurrent symptoms it is always worth consulting a clinician, so that the area in question is examined properly and predisposing factors are considered.

My friend and I started talking to her crush. We all became good friends and he told her he cares about her in the friend way....but I'm not sure he does. How can I tell?

i suppose the little things by chance how they would react if your in a bad situation, how much they be willing to help, the guys are very sutle at times like my ex now but at the time we were dating and we had just gone out on our first date, about week after he said that his mum wanted to send me some ifo about my work so he could get my address, later that week in the mail it was a teddy bear to show how special and that he cared for me. maybe to fake fall over and see if they help you up or that.


The foods that make one fat and are bad for one's health\n(Including snacks, and all others)...thanks!

The list is just way too long.  Definitely avoid all hydrogenated oil containing items (potato chips, pretzels,etc.).  Avoid sugar completely, I can't stress this enough.  Sugar will cause weight and health problems.  That doesn't mean you should substitute with any of the other artificial sweetners.  Try stevia or candy bars with raw cane sugar.  Check these out at your local health food store.

i just asked cause its not fair is it??\nAlso, when they want to judge islam they look at muslims behavior. who said that muslims behave as islam wants them to.

to impossible_dream: \n\nFirst, muslims dont think that christians or jews are evil. So your statement is wrong. YOu said that you dont want to know more than that. Therefore, you cant make a statemtn on Islam because it will be extremely biased. Secondly, the one andonly information you have is wrong, and that means you have absolutely no idea about Islam.\n\nMost educated non judgemental people are right. Its what is perceived in the media that causes all the judgements. And you really cant blame them. These so called "muslim" dictators are all over the media, all over the world. Thats why there is a lot of misconception.\nUnfortunately, when a good muslim cleric tries to resolve the problems, people think he is also one of them, since he looks like them, the turban, the beard, the clothes.\n\nPeople should start looking to what people have to say, not what they look like.\n\nHowever, its good to know that some people know that the problems are caused by extremists who have nothing to do with Islam.


He was diagnosed with Lymphoma last Wednesday.  The doctor said to come at 4:45 today.  He told my F-I-L that he would most likely be there in consultation until at least 7 pm, and to bring his wife and ONE NON-FAMILY MEMBER.  We are all wondering, what does it mean to be asked to bring ONE NON-FAMILY MEMBER. Is this standard for a new cancer patient discovering his diagnosis, or does this probably intimate some very bad news is coming our way?\n\nPlease give me any insight you may have!

The first thing that you need to do is calm down.  I work in cancer research and at one of the best cancer treatment hospitals in the country.  This is a very standard procedure for someone who is newly diagnosed.  Your FIL and the family are going to need a lot of support and a lot of help throughout this entire time.\n\nThe doctors understand that your family will be over-emotional during this time and a NON family member will be able to take in information as well as convey information better after the consultation is over.  You should be prepared for A LOT of information to be thrown at you very quickly.  The outside person is simply there to help with the stress of the situation as much as possible.\n\nPlease feel free to email me if you need to talk to an outside source I would be really happy to help you and your family riklynn10@hotmail.com

what is the main difference between multiprogramming and multitasking?give more examples with eaplanation?

The most common modern computers consist of processors, memories, timers, disk or tape drives, terminals, and wide variety of other devices. Operating systems manage these hardware devices and resources, and provide controlled access to these devices for the user programs [Tan92]. The rapid growth in technology allows us to have faster hardware devices than past generations; however, not every type of device has increased its speed at the same rate. For example, disk drives have improved in speed of access, but due to the mechanical limit in rotation, the overall speed increase is not as significant as processors or other devices [RR96]. The fundamental difference between mechanical devices and semiconductor materials causes this disparity in performance. \nConsider a user program waiting for the data to be fetched from a disk. Because of the time disparity between the disk drive and the processor, the program causes the CPU to be idle for a significantly long time. The concept of multiprogramming is inspired by the fact that while the CPU is idle for one program waiting for the some resource to be available, the CPU can execute instructions for other programs. \n\nThe modern operating systems like UNIX not only does multiprogramming, but also timesharing. Timesharing is a variant concept of multiprogramming, and means that the system appears to be executing multiple instances of programs simultaneously. Consider an analogy that a busy individual who needs to cook and do laundry. Two jobs, cooking and washing clothes, can be done one after another, but it is more efficient to be done at the same time, because some stages of both jobs may require waiting for something. While the individual is waiting for the clothes to be dried, it is possible to do something for cooking. \n\nIn a timesharing system like UNIX, a process becomes the basic active entity and the most central key object. The following will discuss the definition, modeling, and properties of processes.


I am transfering my VHS Tapes on to DVD-R blanks.If I use a lower quality of burning on my DVDPlayer/Recorder,I have no problem watching those DVD`s on my computer(Media Player.Media Center 2005)but burning at a higher setting(2hr tape to 2hr DVD setting)my computer simply freezes up after a few minutes of playing.\nAny suggestions out there?

bitrates, do you know what bitrate the program set on high is?by lower quality, what do you mean, disc quality or burn speed or capture encoding rates?


Would the world be more peaceful without religions?

Yes.  Religion is one of the top if not the top divisive issue in the world.  It has caused more war, hatred, intolerance and bigotry than anything else ever.  Most teach tolerance and love but their followers sure don't show it!  They use it as a weapon to judge and look down on people who don't believe as they do.  While it wouldn't stop all wars or problems, people will just find some other reason to be hateful, it would sure cut down on some of it!


Do they then think you're susceptable to the rest of their doctrines. I find there is truth in just about anyone's point of view.\nA stopped clock is right twice a day even.However, it doesn't mean I'm looking for a new faith :)

Yes they have, and I know exactly what you mean. I often wonder whatever happened to 'live and let live'.


There is a difference between needs and wants.

or when she is just in love because of other factors like; your're well read, you have a good job etc.

when a girl loves u 4 real she will alway be with u, if ur far from her she will always call 2 hear ur voice,u will notice from her appearance and her actitude towards u.


I am.  Every time I have a chance too change my life for the better I find a way to ruin it.  What can I do about it that will realy help.

YES!\nI always find myself being my own harshest critic. I always find that I doubt myself more than others do me. I always find that I don't believe in myself as much as I should because I sometimes get low self-esteem from the endless parade of problems we ALL get!\nSometimes, I find that having faith in myself works. Being overly pessimistic (but inside being extremely positive) helps because when the results come you literally leap with joy!\nSometimes I find that talking to someone helps. I also find that writing a blog or a diary gets rid of unwanted "burden" feelings just hitching a ride on you and making you feel heavier and heavier into depression.\n\nBut remember, the most important thing is no matter what gets you down, you MUST find the courage to pick yourself up and face the problem head to head. Be strong! Everyone has problems - it's how you deal with your that makes the big difference!\nKnow that no matter how bad a situation you're facing, there is always many people dying to take your place because they don't even have the luxury we have to ponder our problems! :) That's how I keep myself motivated!\n\nJenova\n(d.yuffie@gmail.com)

You can't.  You wil have to pay off the loan or have YOUR credit affected by a default.  You've just learned a great lesson about cosigning loans.


take a peice of string....make it into a wave...symbolically.\n\nnow this peice of string can be thought of as a particle having the shape of a wave. \n\nwhat's the problem? light is both wave and particle. so....why is that difficult to reconcile/explain with other laws/facts of physics?

Your analogy doesn't represent the problem at all.  \n\nWhen we say a particle is treated as a wave it refers to the particle actually not existing at any particular point.  It actually exists at all of points in some region with a certain probability (it is everywhere at once).


I know the best would be to go to Japan, but as a high school senior thinking about college next year, I cannot afford it! I have a few Japanese CDs that I've been looking over, as well as a few movies I bought with subtitles, and I know a little bit of basic Japanese already. I want to be able to both speak and write Japanese. Any pointers on where I should look to next?

Pimsleur Japanese is expensive but worth every penny-especially if you get it used or borrow a friend's copy. Trust me, I've been living in Japan for the past two years and it's been the most helpful tool for learning the language I've found yet. I also suggest checking out the Japan Times' Kanji Clinic archives-which suggests repeatedly a book entitled 2001 Kanji by Joseph De Roo (available only through the Bonjinsha website). Kanji Clinic is a good introduction to kanji and also funny. Jim Bream's WWWJDIC Word/Text translator http://www.aa.tufs.ac.jp/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?9T\nis also an invaluable resource. Good luck!

We have been dating for almost 6 months but have been friends for years before. During the last 5-6 months she's periodically had doubts about the relationship but never voiced them, instead bottled them up and let them explode in my face when I least expect it. I have done my best with sorting things out and making it work again but Im at the end of my wits. I really love this girl but damn it, what is she on? \n\nYesterday she broke up with me saying that we dont understand each other anymore, how the hell would we if she never tells me what's wrong? She said that she doesnt know what she wants from me but she knows its not a relationship. Alright, fair enough but then why did she say she loves me 2 days ago, it's like her feelings change over night. She said she now wants to be left alone but she has already called twice just to "chat" on her way home from work. Im having a bit of a hard time right now and she's not making my life any easier. What shall I do? I want her back :(

Thing is talk with her . . . not to chat . . but the next time she called . . . asked her . . . \n\nYou broke up with me . . . telling me that you want to be left alone . . . and not to bug you . . . yet you call me periodically on the way home.  What the f*** is going on?  Until you are able to tell me the truth . . . don't call me again.\n\nDon't worry she will call . . . because you called her out.  But now she will have to explain herself.\n\nDo not give in to her . . . and tell her how it felt when she did all what she did to you.  Odds are she will probably respect you more . . . because you stood up for yourself . . . instead of acting like a p***y . . . you have been.\n\nIn my opinion, take control of the situation . . . and don't let her boss you around . . .


NATO used to be intended to prevent a Warsaw Pact invasion. Now that there is no more USSR, what has happened to NATO? What is it's task?

NATO is heavily involved in regional stability around Europe.  It also has forces in Afghanistan helping the US and UN rebuild the country.  You remember Afghanistan right?  That's the place the media ignores because very little bad news comes out of it.\n\nNATO also works with the US Military's EUCOM regional command.  This is the largest Joint Combat Command, area wise, in the US Military.  NATO is very interested in increasing the alliance's size as a way to promote stability in Europe and not fall back into the dark ages of national strifes which finally ended after WWII.  \n\nCurrent focuses are the Greek/Turkey conflicts, Bosnia/Serbia/Croatia, training former Soviet block countries to NATO standards, stabilizing the Trans-Caucus region (Georgia, Chechneya, Azerbajan, Armenia), containing Iran, fighting the WoT (terror cells are very powerfull in Europe thanks to weak governments which just now realized their mistakes), counter piracy, counter slavery, Humanitarian Aid Missions, and Nation Building.

Do you mean cardiac arrest?  If so, cardiac arrest in children is directly associated with respiratory arrest. Fix the respiratory function, fix the cardiac function. Other causes include genetic defect, trauma, vascular disease or neurological dysfunction. All of these are infrequent and account for a small perentage of children who succumb to cardiac arrest.


I own a small services company but i have salesman all over the country (like in 12 different states) but as a small company i dont have offices in every state this is to cut in expenses, but sometimes i have trouble following up on my salesman because they are free in their own, so sometimes they are just lying to me and telling me "yes i am in a meeting". or how could i do a system to follow up in sales like checking their weekly reports and checking their status... i need overall tips HELP ME SAVE THE BUSSINES!!!! THANX

Call reports are a good idea, just as long as you follow up and check on a few.  People are less likely to not tell the truth if they might get caught.  \n\nWhat I would suggest is that you provide a compensation package that is full of incentives.  Most salesmen (in my experience) work just as hard as they think they have to in order to make what they feel they have to make.  Make some of the incentives related to just getting meetings with prospective clients.\n\nAlso, manage the numbers.  If a reps performance doesnt tie in with normal business trends then make a trip with them and go on some calls with them.  Spending $1000 on a trip that will eventually have you terminate an ineffective rep will save you money in the long run.


We want to implement an informal R & R program for our 10 employees. Any ideas? Resources? Information?  \n\nThanks!

He hasn't had that many minutes since he came back from that jaw injury. Are they just taking it slow with him, or will he just be a bench guy for the rest of the year?

for now with his jaw problem,he would best be used to come off the bench.when healthy it depends on match ups.they have a small team that starts.its best to start him with bigger match ups.

I read about this in the Novel- improbable by Adam Fawer

Laplace's Demon is an issue of intellect, which can lead to complete determination of the future via mathematical calculations, but is probably not possible because of lack of enough computing power. \n\nLaplace strongly believed in causal determinism, which is expressed in the following quote from the introduction to the Essai:\n\n"We may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its future. An intellect which at a certain moment would know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of which nature is composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in a single formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest atom; for such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its eyes." \n\nThis intellect is often referred to as Laplace's demon. Note that the description of the hypothetical intellect described above by Laplace as a demon does not come from Laplace, but from later biographers: Laplace saw himself as a scientist that hoped that humanity would progress in a better scientific understanding of the world, which, if and when eventually completed, would still need a tremendous calculating power to compute it all in a single instant. While Laplace saw foremost practical problems for mankind to reach this ultimate stage of knowledge and computation, later interpretations of quantum mechanics, which were adopted by philosophers defending the existence of free will, also leave the theoretical possibility of such an "intellect" contested.\n\nThere has recently been proposed a limit on the computational power of the universe, ie the ability of Laplace's Demon to process an infinite amount of information. The limit is based on the maximum entropy of the universe, the speed of light, and the minimum amount of time taken to move information across the Planck length, and the figure turns out to be 2130 bits. Accordingly, anything that requires more than this amount of data cannot be computed in the amount of time that has lapsed so far in the universe. (An actual theory of everything might find an exception to this limit, of course.)


My bf has a son with someone else and we have a child together.He wants to take a family portrait with them 3 and its bothering me.Why would I want to see a pic of them 3 all happy in a huge portrait hanging on my wall in my apartment? Am I being silly cuz its bothering me?

Id be bothered too!\nIf he wants that pic, he should be able to get it taken...he might want to have it taken for his son, so his son wont forget about his real dad and wont feel neglected.\nBut its a thing between them.\nThe picture should NOT be in YOUR household, insist on that!

federal deposit insurance so and so . does it work for us residents only?

The FDIC covers each account to a certain level, which is why many people will have several accounts.  I have never heard that it was for citizens, residents, or legal residents for that matter.  It Insures Accounts, it does not look at who owns the account.  As long as the money in the account was obtained in a legal fashion I believe that the account is automatically covered.

Hi, \nAbout a month ago, I found a service online where if you have a Microsoft Word document, you can upload it, and for a fee, they will print the letter, put it in an envelope, and mail it.

The Egyptions never thought they would disappear after 3000 years, nor did the Romans after 500 years. The Western Empire has been going as is (If you count the widespread collaboration after both the napolionic wars and American/ Australian independance for around 300, it is inevitable it will one day dissapear but when and why?

The sociologist Johan Galtung (the guy who predicted the fall of the USSR and of teh Berlin Wall) gave the two Western Empires (US and EU) 15 and 20 years respectively (if they continue their current armed policies) before they will collapse (US - economically and EU - polically).\n\nI had the chance to hear Johan describe and prove the process, which was slowed down during the Clinton admnistration due to his rather liberal policies.\n\nThe political analyst Noam Chomsky did a similar prevision, adding that the US economy might not survive another mandate for Bush.

The last sell-out crowd happened in 2001, Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals between them and the Lakers in which they had control of the whole game until they forgot to play in the last 4 minutes of the game. After that, Portland went and did a revamp on their team I dont know for what.....maybe to be the worst team in the NBA....and they succeeded.


Hello!\n     OK,I think you need to correct me if I'm wrong in here.I know that there's an eleventh planet and it was named after a filipina teacher from a province.It's named after the teacher because she studied about this planet and it was named after her.OK?That's just what I think.If there are corrections,just correct it and give me a reply message.\n                                            Thanks everyone!

maybe you wanted to write 10th planet, not 11th planet.\n\nmaybe there was such a thing but i don't see any records of it on nasa-s site.\n\nWhat i do see is the report of the 10-th planet being discovered, maybe that's what u  were reffering to.\n\nhere's the link\n\nhttp://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/29jul_planetx.htm


A four year college being A university or state college. The Specality college as in The Art Institute.

It actually depends on your product more than your education.  Even the best in the fashion world can have terrible years.


I am educated, articulate, motivated and have two years sales experience. I have no idea what i want to do but am focusing on sales roles. I have been for ten interviews and have had no job offers, everyone says i come across so well yet i cant seem to get a job. what am i doing wrong? please help me, from a desperate job hunter...

The first thing you need to decide is what interests you and what you want to do.  Then, don't look for a job.  Look for a career.  Employers are going to be reluctant to hire anyone who does not have a career focus and will not work to their fullest..


My son was at a fast food place located in the parking lot of are local mall.  He had been asked to stay away from the inside of the mall by security and was only reconized by his bike out side the fast food place.Security placed him under citisens arrest for trespassing and now it has gone to court as a mis. my son is 16 and we live in california. what can i do?

You need to work on your question.  \n\nCan your son be arrested for trespassing on mall property?  \n\nYes.  (and he was, so that seems like a no-brainer).\n\nCan he be arrested for trespassing on mall property for ordering a meal to go at an independent fast food place?\n\nSee above.  \n\nCan he be arrested for doing what you've described above, when he was (according to you), only asked to stay out of the inside of the mall?\n\nWell, again...he *was* arrested, so evidently he *can* be.  \n\nBut I suppose this is the crux of your question, right?  Since he wasn't actually inside the mall, and was only in one of the fast food joints that are in the parking lot (and it's not attached to the mall??), is he actually guilty of trespassing?  I would suggest not.  If the fast food joint is attached to the mall, and especially if it's got an entrance into the mall proper, I'd suggest he's guilty, even if he came in through the door that's facing the parking lot.  Ridiculous, really, what the law can sometimes hinge on.\n\nWhat can you do?\n\nHire an really expensive lawyer, and see if you can get your son off on some minor technicality.  That'll show him that when he does what he's been asked not to do, someone will find a way to keep him from being held accountable for his actions.\n\nOkay, that's a little tongue-in-cheek, but I stand by it for the most part.\n\nYour kid got told to take a hike.  My reasonable assumption is that he was told that because his behavior wasn't consistent with behavior the mall owners want their patrons exposed to.  Your kid is a knucklehead for coming within a mile of the place after he was told to go away.\n\nBut kids are knuckleheads sometimes, and that's part of being a kid.  The thing is, at 16, this kind of thing really is going to be a very minor speed bump in his life.  You and he probably don't see it that way now (your kid wanna be President some day?) and I understand that.  Assuming he's never been in trouble with the law in the past, and assuming you have all the facts, I'd be surprised if he got anything more than a slap on the wrist...maybe some community service time or whatever.  \n\nSo what you can do is talk to your kid now about what he did, and what would have been a better way to deal with this situation.  When you get to court (and are you sure you're going to *court*, and not just the Probation Department for what's often called a "cite hearing"?) you can explain that you and the little devil have talked at great length about his offense and he understands what he did wrong and knows a better way to deal with this in the future and blah, blah, blah...tell them what you think they want to hear, and get your kid to be a little smarter in the future about things like this.\n\nYou can hire an attorney, or you might be able to qualify for the public defender.  \n\nYou can throw yourself on the mercy of the Court, ask to be publicly flogged, and insist on taking your son's punishment for him.  It won't work, but it will humor the heck out of everybody there.\n\nLook: I don't want your kid punished unfairly any more than you do.  I've got three of my own, they've all done knucklehead things themselves at one time or another, and I've stood up for them if there was somewhere reasonable to stand.  If your kid really was told only to stay out of the inside of the mall, and he wasn't *in* the mall, then I think that's a real reasonable place for you to stand and support your kid...if they didn't want him on the property at all, that's what they should have told him.  \n\nIf he truly didn't understand where he could and could not be, then advocate for him.  If you think he knew he was pulling a fast one, let him get spanked for it...he needs to be held accountable for what he's done, if you think he did what he knew he wasn't supposed to do.  He's not going to


also what was your graduation song that was best remembered\nby your classmates/ you can participate even if you didnt graduate.

The one song that stands out from my senior prom is "Open Arms" by Journey. This stands out because it was the first time I had ever seen 2 girls dance together.\n\nThey were lesbians. One had on a tux - the other a prom dress.\n\nThe graduation played the same tired old "Pump and Circumcise"


I have an ex wife who has spent the last 5 years making my life hell, now I am goign to beat her in court tomarrow, and I would just like to repay the favor in a totally legal way.

Just be friends with her. It's the worst thing YOU could do to anybody.


I have a girl and a boy and how I love them!

no i dont have any but i cant wait til i do


she's still open to everyone except me, atleast thats how i feel. She knows i like her very much, told her so. She greets me, but we never had a conversation in person but only via email.  How do i persuade such a person to be mine?

be patient and dont push her too hard\njust be there for her (even only via email)\nstop telling her how you feel for now, it may be quite irritating for someone's out of a bad relationship\ntell her your feeling once again when she's opened up a bit\n\nhope she'll loosened up =)


Which of the following is an equation of the line tangent to the graph of y=x^3+x^2 at y=3?\n\nI got y=6.4884x+0.3936

This is what I wrote for a very close question to this one. Just ignore the graphing part. I didn't feel like doing the question right now, but this is the way to do it:\n\n"If you need the tangent, take the derivative of the function at the specific point, which will give you the slope. Since you have taken the derivative at some specific point (a,f(a)) you also have a point. Now use the point-slope form to figure out the equation. Then simply get a graph paper and graph it.\n\nExample: f(x)=3tan(2x)\n\nf'(x)=6[sec(2x)]^2 (I assume you can take derivatives.)\n\nYou have a point (a,f(a))\n\nNow use the point-slope form: y-f(a)=f'(x)(x-a)\ny-3tan(2a)=6[sec(2a)]^2*(x-a) is the answer in this case. \n\nOr in function form: y=6[sec(2a)]^2*(x-a)+3tan(2a)\n\nTo graph it, find 2 points on the equation, then draw a straight line between them. That is your tangent."


A match made in heaven...\nyeah, I'm getting all lvedy-dovedy again today...

Everyone always told me that when you find the right one you will know it. Well, I tried to make this one the right one, then that one the right one, and it was never the right one. When he did come along I thought...OH! This is what they were talking about. I luckily found mine. It is a miracle, and believe me honey, you will never have to question it. We have been married for five years and both knew it the first night we met. It is a feeling that you cannot describe. The only person who would understand is another person who has found their's as well. I fell sorry for all the people out there who are with someone thinking that it is love and it is not the one meant for them. Keep looking. You will find your's. Good Luck!

how does a 14 year old girl who is not fat but just kinda out of shape get back into shape!

Walking, stair stepper, running on treadmill or outside, swimming and lifting some weights.  Make it fun-take a karate class or an aerobics class or just run around the block a few times.  Just start slowly and work your way up.  You will be more likely to stick with an exercise routine it you don't make it so much of a routine.


vegetable and animal oils are fast being turned into biodiesel in the US, Europe and Asia. This is more expensive and will compete with edible oils intended for food application. Biodiesel long term use is not that well studied anyway. It can even damage engines for its short term benefits.

Do you really want an answer??? Or are you looking for people to agree with your already stated opinion???


I have some trouble to lift the puck from the ice when I'm doing a fast shot.

Hi, on the wrist shot start by placing the puck at the heal of the blade and as you move the Puck forward rotate your lower hand on the stick in a forward motion (if right handed rotate rt thumb toward the net)and follow thru. On the snap shot place the puck about 3 to 4 inches in from the tip of the blade and flick your wrist at he puck as you are shooting it. It's almost like popping the wrist shot, Good luck!


Possibly.  He will have to really improve though.


just want to know how much notice they need to give people in the army before Ta-50 inspections......couldnt find in FM 1-201 or 7-0

Instead of crying about it on yahoo, you should spend your time cleaning and maintaining your gear. If you are going to spend anytime in the army you should know enough to get an extra set of junk for inspections. Jeez the way the army is today they probably made you an E-5...


I think my PC is lagging due to having too small of a power unit, so does anyone know a utility that will monitor the consumption?

If you had power issues then lagging would be the least of your problems. A switching power supply will shut down if overloaded. If you are concerned that your PC may be getting close to pushing the limits of the power supply, You can check the the amperage either on the AC or DC side with a clamp-on amp meter to determine the load the PC is drawing.

Ever since I got my computer back from getting a new motherboard, my right laptop computer speaker has had an annoying crackling/buzzing noise if a certain pitch is hit. I know it's not a sound card problem, because when I plug in headphones, the crackling disappears. what can I do to remedy this?

Believe it or not, if that speaker is near your computer, your monitor or another electronic device, try moving it away from the other device.\n\nIt may be that you have RF (radio frequency) interference that is causing the problem.


I've never gotten her anything, and I've known her for years. She always tells me that I don't have to get her anything, and I don't, but sometimes I feel kinda bad about it....(BTW, it's too late again this year, her birthday was on Thursday)

I'd get her birthday card (humorous, not mushy) with a gift card to a place she likes.

seems like some ppl see everything is so nice and perfect, but for me is not, i feel that most of the things do not interested me, n i think my life is meaningless n i feel unhappy most of the time, all i care about is only myself n my appearance, it seems like i'm selfish isn't it?I try to care about others like my friends and family, but it doesn't come from my true heart.what can i do?

Uhh I dont see how come you have to TRY to care about your family, when I'm sure theyve done alot for you, and it is being selfish... that all you care about is yourself when you owe alot to your family in friends.. very selfish that its sick..  you need to sit back and look at your life all the times you friends and family gave you something their love or just their friendship and all you care about is yourself!!!\nwhen stuff start to go bad for you you'll wonder why... why does stuff always go wrong with me, nothing never goes right and guess who you'll be complaining to your friends AND your family

Women are Subordinate to Men\n\n (1 Corinthians 11:3-10 NAS)\n\n\n    But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.  Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head.  But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved.  For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her head.  For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.  For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man; for indeed man was not created for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake.  Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.   (1 Corinthians 11:3-10 NAS)

Also, does anyone think they can get past Gonzaga? I do. Infact, I picked them to go to the Sweet 16.

Let me tell you a story. Two seasons ago I picked Xavier to beat Louiville in the 1st round even though they were underdogs. Everyone thought I was crazy. What shocked them more was the fact that I picked them to win the 2nd round, and the sweet 16 round. I was right. Now Gonzaga is a different team. They have the player who can hit almost every shot he takes. And that is all they need to win believe it or not. Xavier winning the big 10 was good, but have they faced Adam Morrison before this season? No.

I have already attempted entering javascript:alert(document.lastModified) in address bar however this reflecting current time and date.

document.lastModified will not work when the page is transmitted from server to client. It reflects the local time because that's the time the page was stored in the "Temporary Internet File" directory. It shows that in javascript, document.lastModified gets only the locally modified time. So, you must manually type time and date each time you modify your web-page. However I think there are some options in server sided scriptings to detect the last modified date in servers. I am not used to it.

Western movies show riders chasing others for miles as if there is no limit to the horses' endurance; but how long would does it really take for horses to get exhausted and just stop running?

It really depends on the how "fit" the horse is. If it is very out of shape and being forced to run, 30min to 1 hour MAX, but it would need TLC and lots of rest before it would be able to be used (even for walking) again.\nI've tested my 12yr (prime age) VERY FIT endurance horse and with (1min breaks to save my legs) she was able to go for aprox. 3 hrs. She needed a VERY LONG rest and intensive care afterward.\nWestern movies tend to exagerate things. The riders of the pony express would start off on one horse and either pass their mail onto another horse & rider team at a check point or he would be given a new horse and continue on. To run all day like that would easily kill a horse.


me and this guy used to date in h.s. we just reunited about a month or so ago.  when we first hung out, he showed me where he lives and said that i should come over sometime.  he has a girlfriend, but he tells me that she is imature and he doesn't want to be with her, plus his family doesn't like her.  i asked him why doesn't he dump her and he says that it is complicated.  no she is not pregnant.  he has been over my house for dinner and i have hung out with him and his son twice.  the son is 2 and we have fun together.  i am playing it cool and just being a good friend.  i told him that he was cool and he says the same about me and then he said that he likes me, but that convo sounded childish.  he ask me if i could cook and i told yes except spaghetti and he said no problem he can make it (i had a dumb look on my face). then he says that i have a body of a goddess.  ok then.

Having been married twice, Once when too young and now for the rest of my life, I can tell you that if he really likes you he won't be able to not be with you. True love only happens maybe once in a lifetime and it is not something you can just fluff off. When I guy really likes a girl it is all he will talk about and will do what ever to spend as much time as he can with her. Also his other interest and friends take a back seat. Keep in mind that life is long and people change so don't be in too big of a hurry to find Mr. or Ms. right. Life is what happens when your busy making plans.


when someone sends me a e-mail i get it but when i try to repliy it wont go and when i try to send an e-mail were it says to the address shows up wera it says subject it shows and were it says attch files it shows but under that the pag thats sops to be there is to send a massege is not there.

there has been a recent microsoft update which affected loads of peoples online mail accounts and were all having the same problem as you. if you go to microsoft.com and update to the latest patches then it should solve your problem.


Would that be a sin or would you be innocent?

It would be a sin if I was religious, which i'm not. Anyway, I wouldn't care, because I wasn't the direct cause of the "murder". If I unknowingly caused a chain of events leading to a "death", it would be considered an accident, not murder. It's all about intentions.


Two friends(female)meet two guys on the same night. They both marry. Twelve years later all four of you get together to reminisce, And out of the blue you find yourself suddenly attracted to your friends hubby. You fall desperately in love. It was never planned. Honestly. In fact when you first met you didn't even like the guy. In fact, I thought he was a huge jerk. Never in a million years would I have guessed we would end up together.  What do you think? Forgiveable?

no, leave other peoples man alone there are plenty out there. and you don't want this one either because if he is doing this to his wife now, then u wont b the last. he is one big loser for cheating on his wife now.  and if you married this guy what kind of friend would u b called?? put yourself in the other person shoes, IT HURTS AND NOBODY SHOULD GO THRU THIS THAT WAS WRONG OF BOTH OF U. REAL FRIENDS DON'T TOUCH.


A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis:\nThe Wife said she was sleeping.\nThe Cook was cooking breakfast.\nThe Gardener was picking vegetables.\nThe Maid was getting the mail.\nThe Butler was cleaning the closet.\n\nThe police instantly arrested the murderer. Who did it and how did they know?

The maid because there's no mail on the weekend?


I would rather attend the College Football National Championship than the Super Bowl because I am guessing that the tickets for the game must be easier to obtain that Super Bowl tickets and also, I will be able to see the future football stars of tomorrow (either for the NFL or the AFL) play the game.

This past year would have been an exception for me. I would have loved to see the Texas-USC game much more than the Seattle-Pittsburgh game. The Rose Bowl was much more exciting than the Super Bowl. I think that was a pretty boring Super Bowl. In any other year, I would have wanted to see the Super Bowl more than the College Football National Championship.


Good evening everyone! Well, I've been spending a lot of time on Answers...and have noticed a pattern. On many of the questions of war and especially the one going on in Iraq, many people's answers involve world peace. Please don't get me wrong, I'm all for world peace, but how can it be achieved? How can world peace be an obtainable goal when there are people out there who believe their place in heaven is determined by how many of the "enemy" they kill...which basically means everyone else on the planet who does not believe in their religion or way of life. I doubt "spreading the love" will make these people change their minds. Does anyone out there have have any interesting opinions they'd like to share? If so, then answer away!

I think war is a very important part of our lives and especially the economy. The only reason for patriotism and the desire for peace comes from war, hate, and killing. The Second World War jolted America from the Great Depression of the 30's to the industrial wonders of the 40's and 50's. If there was no war, there would be no democracy because arguing is a verbal war, and pits brothers against one another. Some say the only way to have complete world peace is to be run under either a communist government or monarchy. But others would then get restless and brew up another war. As long as there is life, there can be no such thing as world peace, it is in all creatures nature to fight others either different or similar for survival and power. So there is really no reason for all the fuss about world peace. It isn't going to happen until all life is destoyed. The term pacifist then, according to nature, means "fool bent of the destucrtion of all life". Not exactly what they profess, is it?


Is a light year a perfect unit of measure? Do ulta-violet waves travel faster than light?

The speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all colors, and this includes all electromagnetic waves outside the human visible spectrum, such as ultraviolet, microwaves, infrared, gamma rays, x-rays, and so on. \n\nIn materials, however, the speed of light is not only slower than in a vacuum, it's also different for each color.  This is why we have dispersion in transparent materials which is responsible for phenomena like chromatic abberation in lenses, rainbows formed by droplets of rain, and splitting of light into a spectrum by a prism.  If the speed of light was slower in a material than in a vacuum, but the same for all frequencies (colors) of light, we'd have refraction, but no dispersion.   \n\nAnd, while nothing can have a velocity higher than that of light in a vacuum, things can go faster than light in a transparent medium.  This causes the electromagnetic equivalent of a "sonic boom", which is called Cherenkov radiation.  \n\nAs for a light year being a "perfect unit of measure", well, it has a rigorous definition developed from basic units of nature on which everyone can agree.  But, so does the meter, or the second, and almost everything other than the kilogram.  \n\nHowever, if you were to send a beam of light into space, you'd find that depending on the frequency it may travel somewhat less than a standard "light year" in one year's time.  This is because space isn't actually a perfect vacuum, and so it does actually have an index of refraction. For many wavelengths, it will be a full light year distance traveled, but some frequencies will travel slightly slower due to the tiny amount of matter, averaging one hydrogen atom per cubic meter, that is present even in deep space.

just wanna get some advise please\ni'm always spent all my money in the parties or hangin' out with friends when i get my money in the 1st day of the mounth i'm gonna spent it all buyin' silly things n when its reach the half of the mounth i dont have any money to go somewhere with friends ...

don't buy silly stuff\n\nan easy way of doing that, is working out how much you want to spend on things from what you get per month.\nfor example if you hve 100$, spend 20$ on food, 20$ on coffee, 30$ on clothes and 30$ on going out. \nit all depends on your priorities and what you feel is important. \nkeep a note of it in your purse and keep track of what you're buying (keep receipts so you can check)\nif you want something but have already spent the money dedicated to that, eg if you want another coffee, but you've spent the 20$ dedicated to that, just get a glass of water: you know you can't afford it. \nand then you will learn to control your spending.\n\ngood luck

Between iPods, video games, bass and TV - there has got to be a large percentage of this generation that will be def way before they hit retirement.  I know that we (and I'm only 29) have lots of loud things all of the time.  But I don’t think that it was as concentrated as it is now (my Atari 7800 did not come THX certified and my Walkman died after 10 minutes on full blast).

I would guess at something around 85% if not more....\n\ntrouble is a great deal of them could already have a hearing loss and not realise it as it kind of creeps up on you....


I'm trying to write a five page paper on why I think they are, and I'm stumped on page three! :( :(

What the hell are you all talking about, ofcourse viruses are living - and they do reproduce by replication within your body cells.\nViruses dont decay, they actually mutate, so if someone in your family has a cold, and you don't and you're like "hey i dont have your cold" - the chances are that you already acquired it some time before and your memory cells remember the virus and so fight it off. So the next cold you get, will be another mutated cold. Viruses can also lay dormant, like the tetanus virus, which lays dormant in soil - which is why you get a tetanus shot if you cut yourself.


My friend wants a yahoo account and i dont know what to tell her.What should her ID be,her password,her avatar everything.And I cant think right now.I am focused on if she should go to a counceler or not because she has a problem that I shouldn't tell you about.

Feedback' types, importance? When it is needed to be given?

feedback means the info you get back as the result of a process in systems theory.  In business communication, when you perform an inquiry, the info you get back is your feedback.  It is the most important thing a business need to help it respond to changes, environment and costumers preferences.  It is always useful, but especially when you are about to plan for a new period, line o product.


I've a 2and half year old girl child. she don't like to drink milk.

Well you could buy food coloring or food flavorings and make it look like chocolate or strawberry or vanilla and have her drink it like that...\nAdding cocoa or chocolate syrup to the milk will make it chocolate, but I hesitate to tell you to do that all the time because of the sugar content...\nShe needs the milk for the calcium to make her bones and teeth strong as she grows up more...
