what is the chemical structure of this compound resveratrol?

Resveratrol is a polyphenolic phytoalexin which is produced in plants with the help of the enzyme stilbene synthase, and which has anti-fungal properties. It is found in the skins of certain red grapes, in peanuts, blueberries, some pines (Scots pine, eastern white pine) and the roots and stalks of Japanese knotweed (hu zhang in China) and giant knotweed. Resveratrol was first isolated from an extract of the Peruvian legume Cassia quinquangulata in 1974. It is now available as a mass-produced nutritional supplement but not as a therapeutic agent (though it is now registered as an investigational drug). The supplement, first sourced as ground dried red grape skins, has shifted somewhat to include certain of the knotweeds as a raw material.\n\n\nChemical & physical properties\n\nResveratrol \n\nChemical name Resveratrol \nChemical formula C14H12O3 \nMolecular weight 228.25 g/mol \nMelting point  \nBoiling point  \nDensity  \nCAS number 501-36-0 \nSMILES C1(=CC(=CC(=C1)O)CCC2=CC=C(C=C2)O)O \n \nNames/Synonyms\n\nTrans-3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene; 3,4',5-stilbenetriol; trans-resveratrol and (E)-5-(p-hydroxystyryl)resorcinol\n\nIt exists as two structural isomers: cis- (Z) and trans- (E), with the trans-isomer shown in the image. Trans-resveratrol can undergo isomerisation to the cis form when heated or exposed to UV irradiation.


Sensual massages; their lady in lingerie; playfulness with sex, as in different types of foreplay; being openly eyed by their lady with a "c'mon look"; candles in the bedroom.\n\nI'm a romantic kinda guy who never really got into porn. Just didn't do anything for me. I'd rather spend time with the lady I'm with, than watch people f*** on a video.


Whom did he speak to??\nMoses reformed the Jewish Nation and brought them out of the land of bondage and gae them the law.

"And when Musa came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said: My Lord! show me (Thyself), so that I may look upon Thee. He said: You cannot (bear to) see Me but look at the mountain, if it remains firm in its place, then will you see Me; but when his Lord manifested His glory to the mountain He made it crumble and Musa fell down in a swoon; then when he recovered, he said: Glory be to Thee, I turn to Thee, and I am the first of the believers. "\n\n\n007.144 \n\n\nMoses couldnt handle the greatness of what was he about to see so he fell down


and at what level? Valley, Badger Pass, etc. thanks!

The first major winter storm usually hits in November. The snow typically sticks in higher areas (e.g. badger pass ~6000ft or tioga pass 9000ft) from then on until April/May (sometimes longer than May in the real high country. The valley (4000ft) gets snow with most storms but it usually mainly melts - so it comes and goes a bit, depending of course on the overall snowpack/precipitation that year. Best possible time is to go into the valley in the tail end of a storm, as the weather clears the fresh snow covering everything is stunning. Of course, the timing is hard to pull off. Good luck.


In Addams Family Values (The Grangers), the couple that owned the summer camp, how were they related?


which do you think makes more beautiful music, clarinet or flute?

I'd say clarinet because it can make a variety of sounds and pitches. The flute is nice too, but it tends to have the same sound no matter how it is played. ((also I am a clarinetist!))

Do you think you have a third eye and that your eyes are the lenses to your brain and you make your own reality up in your subconsicous? really people wake the %$#! UP! The shit will hit the fan soon. It's just nature taking it's course.\nWhat are "your" thoughts and perceptions on this subject?

I think what this guy is trying to point out is the frustration with so many people being led blindly by dated or 'obsolete' ideologies. I think this question is more akin to people with 'leftist' ideals, that see in the masses a repeating pattern of spoon-fed idiocy. Whenever I think of this question, I think of the millions of people that believe in anything without questioning or analyzing the deepness of the subject. What really comes to mind is RELIGION and PATRIOTISM. So many have been led into believing things that are not even entirely certain, are very subjective and bound to relativity and seemingly created to keep a group of people in power. \nI think this person is frustrated with so many people not questioning beliefs and believing blindly just because 'tradition' demands it.\nWhat frustrates me is that I see so many backwards things and so many people not even questioning them, buying into them and being told how to be and how to act by non-founded dubious sources... this is very saddening, and yes, I think it affects us all. Open-mindedness and an analytical, critical attitude is much needed nowadays, when we're being bombarded by propaganda and lies every day. It's time for society to evolve, go beyond tradition, rid of the old attitudes that have proven wrong, and WAKE UP!


I know at this point the answer is no, but do you think with new technology, such a thing like warp drive is possible??

It is not possible for any particle that has mass to travel faster than the speed of light. The reason has a lot to do with relativity. Because the faster you go, the slower time passes for you. So if you are at 80% of the speed of light, and launch a projectile in front of you at light speed, because of your slow passage through time, it will still appear to you to travel at light. Everything is relative, and because of that, certain constants like the speed of light never change.\n\nAlso, a particle with mass would achieve infinite weight at light speed. Since you can't obviously exceed infinite weight, you can't exceed light.\n\nThe ideas behind things like "warp speed" don't propose actually traveling faster than light. What they propose is taking shortcuts through space, kind of like skipping a stone across the surface of the water. Even "warp speed" is subject to the laws of relativity.


Liberals say the governemnt let us down during Katrina. Isnt that proof that we need to not lean on government so much but learn to take care of and be repsonsible for ourselves?  Not to count on the governement to take care of us?

First, it was a mistake to build below sea level. Why should the Federal Government pay the bill for local government's poor planning? The Libs are quick to blame a Republican run federal government. But from what I have heard, they GAVE them money and the local government divied it up for their pet projects and not on the dike.\nAnd from what I have seen regarding that hurricane, I don't think ANYTHING could have held up against it. It was aweful!


i get this weird pain in my heart i have had it for over a year now but why is this could this be to do with my drinking problem also ?\n\nim also against exercise. i dont like doing exercise!! ill just go out when i got a bitta money in my pocket but will stay on the computer when i aint!

The question is - why do you think it's a pain in your heart?  It could be a pain coming from your lungs, or any of the other structures in the chest.  In case you're not aware, most pain from heart disease comes from the center of your chest. To get an accurate diagnosis from your symptoms, you'll need to tell the doctor more about the pain: e.g., when does the pain usually come on (when you're walking/running, when you're lying flat, in the middle of the night when you're sleeping, etc.), where in the chest it is, describe the type of pain (sharp, dull ache, pressure-sensation, etc.), does the pain appear to go to any other part of the body (like does it go down your left arm?), do you get short of breath when the pain comes on, and so on and so forth. The more you tell the doctor about the characteristics of the pain, the more likely the doctor will be able to diagnose the pain.


some people say that its failed others believe in it.which is it?

They claim the Queen of Sheba had an affair with King Solomon and they are the offspring..nothing in the bible says this happened...by jewish tradition...you are jewish if your mother is jewish...so how are these people jewish..?  Even if the story were true, only the father was jewish, not the mother....

Yes they had the DNA, but judiasm is not about dna, as anyone can convert to judiasm. The ethiopians had a claim based on the DNA  -- BUT -- upon arrival to israel also underwent conversion


Imagine being in front of a stoplight that hasn't changed in a long time. There are no cars coming from the left or right. Should you just run the red light carefully, reasoning that the light might be faulty? \nIf you get pulled over right after, is the officer being unreasonable for enforcing the law?

If you can prove the light is faulty then you're alright, If it turns green right after though, you got a problem.


Hey, don't worry, it's months down the line.  I've been assigned a paper on ANYTHING within the realm of quantum physics.  The only catches are that it has to be roughly ten pages of material and it has to be readable by my peers (sophomore physics students).\n\nIt could be theoretical or practical, but I'm also free to do a biographical or historical paper.  I know a little quantum already and I've read Feynman's autobiographies, but that's pretty much it at this point.  Students in the past have written papers on things like quantum computers or even gone as deep as string theory (not advised).\n\nIf you're not morally content to help, that's cool.  I'm just hoping to bounce around some ideas before it's too late.  Just think big!

how about quantum information theory?  this encompasses some of the cool research that's going on currently, including quantum entanglement, teleportation and the 'quantum parallelism' that you get by using quantum bits in a superposition of states.  \n\nhttp://www.imaph.tu-bs.de/qi/concepts.html\nhttp://www.qubit.org/index.html\nhttp://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qt-entangle/\n\ngood luck!

They certainly have the ability to, but with home-court advantage in sight already, they will probably rest their starters near the end of the season right after securing the #1 seed. I say they end up 68-14.

My complaint is the lack of a competent desktop search tool.  Sure there are third party tools like Google Desktop search, Copernic, MSN and others but none of them and I do mean none of them function as well as Spotlight on OSX.\n\nAnd, let's leave the spyware and virus issues out of this, if you feel you must mention it go ahead but I've never had a problem with it.

Let's see now... Why don't we add a proper POSIX shell, move the graphics subsystem so it's less binded to the kernel (rather like X), open the code up the code under the GPL for peer review, add proper virtual file system support to the file manager (like Konqueror), add a more flexible panel (like Kicker), replace the registry with easier to manage text-based configuration files, and, well you can see where I'm going with this one...

It's you and that's a good thing. Your virginity is sacred and you don't want to give that to just anyone. Keep it for as long as YOU want to. Don't feel pressure to lose it and give it up because you think that's what everyone else is doing. Believe it or not, they aren't. Don't worry about still being a virgin. Just live your life and enjoy being a kid/teenager/adult (since I don't know your age). I hope this helps! :)


I have only taken the shot 2 times. I wanted to know if i stop now, how long well it take before i get pregnant

Well it's different for every individual, some take longer than others to conceive - you should consult your GP about this topic. On the other hand it could also depend on how fertile you are. People always say one should try not to think of it too much and it will happen sooner..


Why are all of the watches set at 10:09????????  (excluding the digital watches)  Doesn't matter what company!!!

Because you do not want them directly across from each other. The arms should create a 90 degree angle without looking to conspicious. Putting either arm on a 12 3 6 or 9 is not appealing to the average person. Also you want the arms facing up not down as it creates a happier mood. \n\nHope that makes sense


is it possible to ge your high school diploma from miltary school and truthfully if you know the anser plz tell me

Yes you can get your High School diploma from Military school. The cost varies from school to school. Some are part of the public school system, but not many.


It's disease of some kind, but I am not sure what it is.

nesidioblastosis \nNesidioblastosis is a controversial medical term for hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia attributed to an abnormal microscopic appearance of pancreatic islet development. The term was coined in the first half of the 20th century. The abnormal histologic aspects of the tissue included the presence of islet cell enlargement, islet cell dysplasia, beta cells budding from ductal epithelium, and islets in apposition to ducts.\n\nBy the 1970s, nesidioblastosis was primarily used to describe the pancreatic dysfunction associated with persistent congenital hyperinsulinism and in most cases from the 1970s until the 1970s, it was used as a synonym for what we now refer to as congenital hyperinsulinism.\n\nThe term fell into disfavor after it was recognized in the late 1980s that the characteristic tissue features were sometimes seen in pancreatic tissue from normal infants and even adults, and is not consistently associated with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Most congenital hyperinsulinism is caused by different mechanisms than excessive proliferation of beta cells in a fetal pattern.\n\nA small number of case reports have purported to describe nesidioblastosis in adults


I'm tired of being told how rigid conservatives are, when it's the bleeding heart, welfare and tax loving liberals who can't stand to hear someone else with an opinion speak.

I agree with you whole-heartedly. Like this Jack Abramoff thing. Why does everybody tiptoe around what really happened? I know that it's not "PC" to call taking bribes in government office treason, but jeez, just come out and say it! And I'm with you on this tax-loving thing! Let's just do the right thing- raise the deficit as high as we can and lower taxes! Some bleeding-heart liberal will probably want to lower the deficit, though, and we all know what that means: taxes. Just like you say!


The reason given was that milk and other dairy products can increase phlegm.

yes it is true u should not drink milk when the cold has left the head area and has moved to the chest.the reason is that when milk breaks down it carries enzymes all over the body including ur lungs there it causes the lungs to create more mucus and therefor prolong the healing process.


A Synthesis of Safrole and o-Safrole\nW.H. Perkin & V.M. Trikojus\nJ. Chem. Soc. 1663 (1927)\nHTML by Rhodium\nNo direct synthesis of safrole has been recorded, the most recent attempt being that of Baker and Robinson (JCS, 1925, 127, 1424), who distilled the product of the action of silver oxide and water upon gamma-piperonylpropyltrimethylammonium iodide, but obtained isosafrole, the double bond moving into the position of greater stability. Kawai (Sci. Papers Inst. Phys. Chem. Res., 1925, 3, 263) has shown that the monoallyl ether of pyrocatechol undergoes the Claisen rearrangement to give an oil which he considered to be a mixture of 3- and 4-allyl-1,2-dihydroxybenzene.\n\nThis matter has now been reinvestigated and, by repeated fractionation of the product of the rearrangement, both of the above isomerides have been isolated in a pure state as colourless, crystalline solids melting at 28°C and 48°C respectively. As further confirmation of the course of the Claisen migration, it has been found that the properties of the higher-melting isomeride (II) are in accord with those assigned to the "4-allylbrenzcatechin" which Schimmel and Co. (Centr., 1907, II, 1741) isolated in small quantity from betel-leaf oil from Java. The second isomeride, 1,2-dihydroxy-3-allylbenzene (I), has not previously been described.\n\nIn order to convert these substances into safrole (III) and o-safrole (IV), respectively, methylenation was carried out, with moderately good yields, by gently refluxing them with methylene iodide and anhydrous potassium carbonate in dry acetone solution. By employing such mild conditions, any change into the isomeric isosafroles during the course of the reaction was inhibited. The identity of the synthetic product with naturally occurring safrole has been established by preparing the pentabromo-derivative (mp 169°C) and the acetamido-derivative (mp 162-163°C) and comparing these with the same derivatives from natural safrole. The properties of the hitherto unknown isomeride o-safrole (IV) (which resembles safrole in odour and in many other ways) have been recorded. The process of methylenation described above takes place very smoothly without formation of tarry products and may prove to be valuable in other cases of this kind.


I'm an experienced business manager with a long-time, strong interest in politics, and I've known many people in political and policy positions.  However, when it comes to figuring out how to get a JOB in a campaign, I'm nobody's insider or best pal from grade school - I'm just a very politically motivated guy who wants to be involved in a substantial way.\n\nPLEASE DON'T RECOMMEND VOLUNTEERING - been there, done that.  Stuffing envelopes and making calls are, as they say, the mother's milk of campaigns, I know - but I've done all that in campaigns past.  Now, I'm looking for a real involvement, at a career level.\n\nNon-cynical, constructive help is appreciated.

Get trained. Democratic GAIN, Democracy for America, 21st Century Dems, EMILY's List, etc. Something credible. Start with a local or state rep. campaign. Local campaigns don't usually have paid staff, but being their campaign director and winning should set you up for something paid.\n\nAlso, make sure you have enough saved up to live on and have a handle on your health care situation. If you make even $2000/month I'd be shocked and only federal campaigns tend to have health insurance.\n\nAnd don't knock the volunteer thing - it worked for me.

Now that I am in a desperate situation, alone with 2 children to support i find I am totally alone.  I have helped them battered, beaten and broke- I can't even get emotional support.  Now that I'm no longer half of a couple I am left out or ignored.  New spouses don't want old "friends" around.  Was I a fool to think kindness was reciprocal?

Man, I know how that can feel...been there done that!!!  I found that I wasen't voicing my needs enough in some cases and in the others it was a matter of getting rid of the trash friendships that were merely sucking me dry emotionally and/or finacially.  Do yourself a favor and get rid of people who make you miserable and are just takers. Thinning them out and telling the people whom you choose to keep around what your needs are can be a very empowering experience.  Trust me, a few very close friends is worth more than a ton of supposed friends any day.  Hope this helps.

Hi,\n\nI am doing a movie about the production of beer...and was wondering what type or kind of music can I put in the background?? (of course no lyrics) I have watched many documentaries and i always wondered what or how can i get the type of musci they put...what is it called?? how can i search for it? any specific artists...?\n\nthancx in advance...

Basically, you need instrumental music, but not classical. \n\nYou have many options and I suggest you spend some time on Amazon.com listening to samples. \n\nJazz can be an excellent choice: however it's so diverse that it's a bit of a hit and miss affair to find what suits you. Try looking for 'solo piano' or 'acoustic guitar'. \n\nNew Age music, as corny as it sounds, provides excellent background music. Two music labels you might want to check out are Narada and Windham Hill.\nhttp://www.narada.com/\nhttp://www.windham.com/index.jsp\n\nFilm music is also an excellent alternative: look for romantic movies, I think it's the best genre in this case. Don't waste time looking at *soundtracks* which are compilations of songs -- look for 'original score'.\n\nIf you're going for a really 'edgy' production, you might want to check some techno/ambient stuff like Aphex Twins, the Orb, and such. But that's only if you're targeting a very narrow and edgy audience.\n\nFinally, many ad companies use what are called 'loops' -- prerecorded all-purpose instrumental music samples that can seamlessly loop. You'll find a list of providers here, in the 'Sounds' section:\nhttp://www.bluevertigo.com.ar/bluevertigo.htm\n\nGood luck!


My sister is married to a Canadian. Will it be more easy than or not, and what job should i look for?\nI'm 30 years old and have a boyfriend i've been living with for 4 years now. I want to take him with me of course.

There is the three legal ways to immigrate to Canada - independent immigration, investing and family sponsorship. The first one based on importance of your profession for the Canadian government, the second one required a huge investment ($400,000) into Canadian economy for 3 years and the last one probably the most suitable for you - sponsorship by family member.\nThere is a few more - if your current situation is life or freedom threaten (e.g war or religion persecution) you can apply for a refuge status or you can get married to Canadian citizen, which probably is not an option since you want to bring your boyfriend :) For more information visit a  official Canadian  website of citizenship and immigration http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.html

How can I make money on the Internet to work from home?

Think of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. Just keep in mind...what's your expertise? What are your interests? What could you imagine yourself doing?\n\nThen, once you have some ideas, research, research, research. Check out the competition -- their business practices, pricing, customer service, etc. And also think about what you could offer to set yourself apart from these other companies.\n\nCheck the sources for some handy sites.\n\nPrior to investing your time, money & effort into a business name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available. \n\nThis entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. \n\nResearch is needed to make sure your trade name is legally available, before opening, before expansion, before incorporation or before designing your logo. Similarities in sound, appearance and meaning affect you too!\n\nThere are 16+ million trade names in use in the United States. Similar names matter, if close in sound, appearance or meaning. Similar names in related classes, distribution channels and customer matter too. You are affected by Common Law use (14 million), State Trademarks (500,000) and Federal Trademarks (2 million). \n\nI wish you much success & happiness in all your endeavors!


Nuclear goals include the development of nuclear generated power plants and possibly uranium enrichment for weapons development.\n\nThis type of question generally gets knee-jerk reactions.  But let's consider this: are tens of thousands of nuclear devices any safer in giant bureaucratic "open" societies than they are in smaller, more tightly-controlled nations ?  And isn't a tenet of democracy the right for sovereign nations to protect themselves against all perceived threats, both domestic and foreign ?

In my opinion, I don't think that it is the United States' business to meddle in Iran's Nuclear Program.  Although there is the possibility of terrorism, all I see the U.S. getting out of Iran is oil, just like Iraq.  People really are paranoid about nations with the possibility of producing Nuclear Weapons.  Again, I think Iran should be free to explore its nuclear program, for the power-saving opportunities and such. \n\nThe bottom line . . . \nIran should explore its opportunities with Nuclear Power, and the U.S should keep its nose out of Iran's business.


How do you lose wieght in your stamic area

Drink a LOT of water, exercise 45 minutes to 2 hours a day doing yoga, pilates and running. Eat whatever you want, but definitely in moderation, by moderation I mean SMALL portions. If you take what you eat now or used to eat and cut it in half, and only eat that half, that will definitely work out. I do not recommend fad diets, pills, or starving yourself.

It's not a quiz honey, their are no right or wrong answers and things definatly do not always happen in the same sequence. Look back at him... depending on how old you are you should be able to tell by the look in his eyes when he is looking at you.

i'm looking to rip/ mix lyrics into my own beats. how can this be done besides vinyl? are there programs i can use? any advice would be appreciated.

Yes. Here is a website of a friend of mines business. This is where I buy my equiptment and most of my karaoke music from. He has an awesome system that can do exactly what you want.


I am mroe interested in getting information about subnet mask.

A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. An IP address has two components, the network address and the host address. For example, consider the IP address 150.215.017.009. Assuming this is part of a Class B network, the first two numbers (150.215) represent the Class B network address, and the second two numbers (017.009) identify a particular host on this network. \nSubnetting enables the network administrator to further divide the host part of the address into two or more subnets. In this case, a part of the host address is reserved to identify the particular subnet. This is easier to see if we show the IP address in binary format. The full address is: \n\n10010110.11010111.00010001.00001001 \n\nThe Class B network part is: \n\n10010110.11010111 \n\nand the host address is \n\n00010001.00001001 \n\nIf this network is divided into 14 subnets, however, then the first 4 bits of the host address (0001) are reserved for identifying the subnet. \n\nThe subnet mask is the network address plus the bits reserved for identifying the subnetwork. (By convention, the bits for the network address are all set to 1, though it would also work if the bits were set exactly as in the network address.) In this case, therefore, the subnet mask would be 11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000. It's called a mask because it can be used to identify the subnet to which an IP address belongs by performing a bitwise AND operation on the mask and the IP address. The result is the subnetwork address: Subnet Mask 255.255.240.000  11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000 \nIP Address 150.215.017.009  10010110.11010111.00010001.00001001 \nSubnet Address 150.215.016.000  10010110.11010111.00010000.00000000 \n\n\nThe subnet address, therefore, is 150.215.016.000.


I'm a total newbie at this.  I follow NASCAR but have never done a fantasy league in any sport.

during the NASCAR season, there is a NASCAR pick 'em. You choose drivers from 3 groups and you earn points on how well they do. From getting the pole, to winning the race, a total of 4 drivers give you points race after race.\n\nNote:Only the races that count to the Nextel Cup standings are included in the fantasy league.


I do, and I like it!\n\nI got the Edge, the $99 one at Walmart.  It took a little getting used to at first, but is fun.  I am very out of shape though and have heard that it's not that much of a challenge for people that are really fit- but I know there is a video of his with more advanced techniques.  There are a few in the booklet that came with it too. \n\nHope this helps.


I've never met a clergy member I didn't like until now. I live in a small community. He makes so many people feel uncomfortable that he is turning people away from God. I have tried making a complaint through his parent organization and have heard nothing. I have stopped going to church activities because of him. And it's the only church in town. Next closest is about an hour away.

Love your enemy with all your heart. Love thy nieghbor as you would yourself.  \nLook, you dont have to be his best friend ar even engage in conversation with him, but you need to pray for him harder than some others, he is Gods child too, and God loves him just as much as he loves you.  in the natural world this might seem hard and not have a big payoff, but when it boils down to it the way you react to people is about you, not them, and ultimatley about your walk with the Lord, not his.


It is possible!\nHint:\nThe numbers are not in the correct language yet.

One solution: 7+7=12 in the duodecimal system (base 12) (7 still equals 7 in base 10, but 12 equals 14 in the decimal system, i.e.\n12= 1x12^1+2x12^0=12+2=14)\n\nAnother solution: in Roman numerals 7 is vii, and 12 is xii. So if we rotate one of the vii couples along its length, and then "add", or attatch it on the other vii, we will get XII.

more details surrounding civil code 1946?  it's not eviction for $$ or behavior, no reason has to be given and i THINK it involves the sale of dwelling.\n\nany reliable updated info PLEASE

California Civil Code Section 1946 provides:\n"1946.  A hiring of real property, for a term not specified by the\nparties, is deemed to be renewed as stated in Section 1945, at the\nend of the term implied by law unless one of the parties gives\nwritten notice to the other of his intention to terminate the same,\nat least as long before the expiration thereof as the term of the\nhiring itself, not exceeding 30 days; provided, however, that as to\ntenancies from month to month either of the parties may terminate the\nsame by giving at least 30 days' written notice thereof at any time\nand the rent shall be due and payable to and including the date of\ntermination.  It shall be competent for the parties to provide by an\nagreement at the time such tenancy is created that a notice of the\nintention to terminate the same may be given at any time not less\nthan seven days before the expiration of the term thereof.  The\nnotice herein required shall be given in the manner prescribed in\nSection 1162 of the Code of Civil Procedure or by sending a copy by\ncertified or registered mail addressed to the other party.  In\naddition, the lessee may give such notice by sending a copy by\ncertified or registered mail addressed to the agent of the lessor to\nwhom the lessee has paid the rent for the month prior to the date of\nsuch notice or by delivering a copy to the agent personally."\n\nBasically it means that if you are a month to month tenant, your tenancy can be terminated at any time on 30 days notice.


I watch it every week.  It's one of the few dramas on TV worth watching...


Me and this guy met and talked about twice while I was at work; its been a little over a year now. I think I felt an attraction from the start; I don't know if he did too. Since then, we have kept in touch by email and chatting when we can, although not as much as I would like to. His job requires lots of traveling, I know this for a fact. When we do email or chat, its funny and flirtatious, and he always "types" that he misses me and wishes that he could come back; I say the same to him. We didn't have a chance to talk more times or even go out because his work was finished and he had to travel the next day, this is a fact also. He hasn't asked for my number. I don't know if he's shy or doesn't want it. I also don't know whether his status is married, single, or taken, and he hasn't asked me either. I'm scared to ask his status, because I'm afraid to ruin this "friendship" we have. He lives about 4 or 5 states away. My questions: does he like me? What should I do? I need help!

Why torture yourself by wondering when you can end the torment by asking? People are often afraid to take the direct approach because they are worried about the outcome. But could that be any worse than dragging out the uncertainty?\n\nLet him know that if his status is unavailable for a romance, you still want to be his friend. If you truly have a good friendship, asking him how he feels shouldn't destroy it. Hopefully it will improve it by removing the layer of uncertainty.\n\nGood luck!\n\nDr. Barb Nefer, http://www.bnlifeskills.com


No, I'm not asking anything perverse.  VH-1 has a segment in "I love the 90's" called "Guys we'd go gay for".  Now girls can obviously appreciate when another girl looks pretty/hot.  But I can't even get a guy to watch Brokeback Mtn with me (and none are homophobic).  Let's see how comfortable you guys are with yourselves...who would you go gay for? (and don't get your briefs/boxers in a bunch, I'm not talking literally)!

It's pretty obvious that Brad Pitt and the guy from Batman Begins (Christian Bale) are pretty good looking, but I wouldn't do either of them, even it were a threesome with Angelina.  \n\nIt's strange even though I am totally comfortable with who I am I am totally compelled to put in the disclaimer.  Interesting....\n\nAnd I'd have no problem watching brokeback mountain, just not with my dad.


Can anyone tell me how much weight a rhinocerous beetle can carry and can I have the link to check it out. Thank you.

They can lift up to 850 times their own weight! That's the equivalent of an average adult male carrying over 70 family-sized cars on his back!


i'd say your best all around fun to drive and economic would be the acura tsx... but if you want a car that you can modify and hold you, your spouse, and kids but can perform as well or better than a corvette at your weekend autoX event i'd go with a subaru sti or mitsu evo.\n\nit all depends wether your leaning towards practical daily driving ability or fun on back roads and competitions


if its a boy that you have had a crush on and he starts taling to you then your ex calls you and want to go back out with you.

If it was ME I would go with the new guy.  I mean look at how you phrased it "your ex or a boy you like".  You have your whole life for long-term relationships.  If one didn't work out move on and have some fun.  Think about what you want.

Or will their young & very opportunistic defense prove to be their achillies heel?

I think there's a few factors to look at. We've got a really strong team this year (Yes, I'm in Seattle), and while it seems possible that they choke, I doubt it for a couple reasons. First and foremost Holmgren is a hell of a coach, and if anyone can keep them going, it's him. And really, they aren't giving any indication of looking like they're slowing down. \n\nI think when you get that much momentum behind a team that's strong either way with such a great coaching team, you're going to be movin quickly :)


Energy, like light, contains mass and mass contains a huge amount of energy therefore light has mass or weight. The figure I once heard was 4 lbs. but I don't remember if that was in a day, month or year or some other block of time.

Photons have no mass, therefore no weight.


And if this has happen to you please email me at Meowz14@yahoo.com

Offer your sympathies to the family and offer to do anything that they need. Then follow through since some people have a hard time asking for help. Making sandwiches, snacks, or a casserole is also nice.


ime trying to meet the love of my life and ime sick of all these rooms claiming to be free but charge anyway.

May I suggest stop searching, then THAT's when you might find her!\n\nJust meet people as friends, and see what develops.  I hope you have a mic, as voice is MUCH friendlier and quicker than typing.\n\nRather than "dating" or "matchmaking" sites, try that talkcity, or http://www.paltalk.com - places intended mainluy just to meet and make FRIENDS.  :-)


I want a uncontested divorce from my wife and i will continue to pay child support and see my children on a regular basis,we have been separated for 7 years and there is no chance of gettig back together.So I was wondering what my rights are and if she is intitled to my retirement money,and if so am i intitled to haif of her house,fair is fair in love and war.

In general a better answer is yes she can, through what is commonly referred to as a QDRO (qualified domestic relations order).  The amount she may or will be entitled to varies by court decision in most cases, she could take none, all, or some.  Sorry for the bad news.  Talk to an attorney.


It is generally assosciated with depression and can cause chronic pain without any explnation of why. I've heard of it once and am pretty sure it starts with an S.

I think you may be thinking of the term "Psychosomatic Pain Disorder"...perhaps "Somotaform Disorder"...?...Just a thought.


Well, my grandparents have gone to the church im at now for 50 years and it is not contemporary at all.  The music is from the hymnals and its full of old people, the pastor's kids (my age and the only teens left) feel the same way.  We try to change it up but its not really going anywhere. What should i do?? Find a new church? Express my thoughts to the church more? What? ps the pastor's kids feel the same way

you aren't suppose to go to church to have a teen hang out. That's the house of God, you go there to worship. It sounds to me like all you teens need to get a sight of what really matters. I'm 17, and no, I haven't always been in church. I've only been in church for 2 years as of Dec. 05'. If you start looking for a church that has a teen hangout you're going to get one of them that has a wimp out pastor that only teaches what you want to hear. What kinda church is it? Who's the pastor? If you wanna answer you can e-mail me @ ssasrule this is yahoo, of course.


Hi guys,\n\nThere seems to be this problem with my penis. I am 25 and i find that iam not able to control my erection at times. When iam watching a movie for simple kissing scenes i seem to get erections and for actual sexual drama i seem to almost precum....Can u guys help me out as to how to control my erections.....This eems to happen almost every were some times even at work....Pls advise.\n\nThanks.

the hard answer (no pun intended):  take up some advanced meditation.  there's a most excellent book called Taoist Yoga and Sexual Energy.  it'll help you.\n\nthe easy answer:  wear baggy pants and shirts from the tall section of y'local Big'n'Tall.  always carry some sort of newspaper or book that you can rest on your lap in an inconspicuous way.


My friend is great, she has always had straight A's but when her father died her mom put her to work and now she doing things like cuttin herself please everthing i done hasn't worked \nhelp

You may not be able to stop her from hurting herself, but you can get as close to her as possible. She has a HUGE void in her life, and on top of that, she has added responsibilities - probably too much for her to deal with.\nIn her free time, she needs you close by. The more time you spend with her, the less time she has to hurt herself.\nIt's hard when you are young to realize that... this too shall pass... Encourage her to recognize her own potentials, and encourage her to go on, for her Dad's sake. Also try to give her new focus by helping her realize that her Mom is going through much the same thing, and that they need each other. If she finds new purpose in helping her Mom through rough times, she will start forgetting about hurting herself.\n\nHope that you find a little to pick from in my ramblings. You sound like a good friend - good luck.

Like, it's supposed to be like gallons or quarts & things... and it's ALSO supposed to be in the directions, and I need this done in an hour! Anyone?

Lets see.If you are talking about measuring cups a cup is 8 ounces so there would be 2 cups in a pint,4 cups in a quart,8 cups in a half gallon,and 16 cups in a gallon.


class Example{\n  static int i=5; \n}\n\n  class State{    \n     public static void main(String args[]){\n       System.out.println("i value is "+Example.i);\n     }\n  }\n\nIf i execute above program, will JVM creates an object of class Example ?

Elflemming is correct.\nWhen you run the class state it is loaded in JVM. Then when you use Example class it is then loaded on JVM. Keep in mind, no instance is created, only class is loaded.\nWhenever you use a class for first time JVM loads it . When loading class it initializes all static variable and executes static initializer.( If exists.)\nSo no instance of exaple class will be created.


In our class our teachers do this " roll calling thingy " . Since i am not a regular student like my other friends , our teacher do not call my roll number with them . So it makes me embrassed since all my friends know that i am a regular student .\n\ni dont want my friends to find out that i am a irregular student ? \n\ni am going through this mental pressure for this silly little thing since last term ... \n\nhow can i over come this stress ... please help me .

It's not fun, I know how you feel.\nYou just have to learn to not care.\nIt's tough...and I know it's a lot easier to say then do.\nSo what if they find out? If they treat you any differently, then they aren't good friends and don't deserve to have you as a friend.\nAnd if you are worried about people like, making fun of you or something, then just know that the only reason they are making fun of you is to raise thier own self-esteem, and that you are better then that.\nTry and take pride in being irregular, then again, I'm not sure exactly why you're irregular, but ya.\nIf it still bothers you, talk to the teachers about it, and ask them if maybe there is some way you could be called on the normal roll call.\n\n\nI hope that I helped. ^_^

after how many days does the AIDS virus show its effect?

Remember, the HIV virus is what CAUSES AIDS. AIDS itself is not the virus. You have to be infected with the HIV virus FIRST before the onset of AIDS, and being infected with HIV does NOT mean that AIDS is imminent.\n\nAccording to Wikipedia, the median survival time after developing AIDS is under 10 months. It is the progression from HIV to AIDS that can be anywhere from a couple months to 20 years.


If he was American, you can search the Social Security Death Index (link below).  Type in what you know of his name and social security number.  A list will show up of everyone with a U.S. Social Security Number matching that name that has died.  If you know his date of birth, you can scan the list to find him and it will show you the zip code, city, and county of his last residence.  That could be a good start.


I have severe iron deficiency anemia and i eat alot of ice do you guys think that is the cause of it remember i eat more than 6 full taco bell cups of ice each day after school and on the weekends i have more than 9 cups each day what is wrong with me i think that i am addicted how do i stop

I have a best friend who is severely anemic, and she eats ice like there is no tomorrow.  Ice crunching isn't the cause of your anemia, but rather a side effect of it.  You should ask your Dr. about taking iron supplements and try to increase your iron intake through diet, also.  After your anemia is under control, I think the ice eating will decrease, too.  You might still do it sometimes out of habit, but that's okay as long as your anemia isn't a problem anymore.

I enjoy both fields.  I currently have a bachelor's in Finance, a field I'm not too interested in.\n\nIn the past I had a two year internship with my State Senator and a 1 year job as a special ed instructional assistant.  I enjoyed both positions.\n\nPaying for it is not too much of a problem either as the state offers loan reimbursements for special ed teachers and the school of public policy is offering generous scholarships.\n\nSo perhaps it comes down to job availability.  There is definately a big need for special ed teachers.  I don't know how easy it is to get a legislative job however, although if it is possible I may really enjoy it.\n\nWhat do you think?

While public policy is an undoubedly exciting field, the rewards you'll get and receive in special education are certainly among the most satisfying available.\n\nYou have an opportunity to positively affect countless children and adults with challenges far beyond the average person.  In the end, you have to follow your heart.  I suggest searching it carefully to see what it holds for this field.  The best of luck to you!

I have two young children and I find that I can't miss capturing any special event with the still and video camera.  My husband prefers to enjoy the moment and doesn't always like to hassle with cameras.  Just wondering what everyone else prefers.

Get everything on video and camera. I am starting to forget things so I go back and look at my videos and pictures.We sit in the family room and look at them and have memorable moments. Your husband just doesn't want the hassle like mine.


I know the whole "God wants ut to make a choice speal", If God truly wanted all men to be saved, why wouldn't He use a more obvious means than a 2000 year old book whose accuracy is very much debatable?  If He really wanted everyone to join Him in heaven why didn't he try a little harder?

Of course he could.  The many inaccuracies in the Bible lead us to a few possible conclusions:\n\n1.  If God is the author, then God is not perfect.\n2.  If God is indeed Perfect, then God is not the author.\n\nIts very difficult to accept that an omnipotent being revealed himself through a book at a time when almost nobody knew how to read.


A guy i like kissed me at a party friday night. in the morning he said we should do something on monday.. he still hasn't called to organise anything. should i give up that he will?

:) Don't give up until Monday afternoon. My bf (when he first dating me) don't call until 1 hour before he wants to meet me. Guys, preparing for a date, don't take but at most 15 minutes, and they think that girls do the same too. It never appears in their mind of all the kinds of things girls need to do before a date, like take a shower, make up, etc. \n\nSo, he's probably gonna call around SUnday night or Moday morning. Good luck.


When ever I see a spider in my house, I drop everything I'm doing and run out of the room screaming. I seriously think that a spider is going to scare me so much one day that I'm going to have a stroke or heart attack and die. If I'm going to the bathroom, and see a spider in there, I will not go in that bathroom for a very long time until I feel that the spider is gone. I dont know how to get over my fear of spiders.

take baby steps. First just look at pictures of spiders then once that doesn't creep you out try handling other bugs that u know won't hurt you. ( rolley polley) Finally find a little baby spider and get aquainted to that. Then your free to go mess with tarantulas. Just remember the spider wont attack unless threatend so as long as you dont do anything to make it feel uncomfortable it will not attack you.

let's say you eat cheese. right after you take 1 bite your stomache starts hurting and you don't feel so good. does that mean that your're allergic to that food? or is it some other reasons? becuase whenever i eat cheese anywhere anytime, i suddenly get stomache pains and don't feel so good. why?

not all the time, it could be bad cheese. but you can go to an allergy doctor (i'm not sure what they're called) and get tested. all they do ispoke you witha piece of plastic and see if your allargic and if ur skin swells up.

I am looking for that real love, like in The movie "The Note Book". Full of passion and deep romance

It's okay...i think that you meant 2006. But i say don't go out looking for it...let it come to you. Thats where most of us girls go wrong, we go out looking and we get mad when we don't find it. So give it time and let it come to you!

Discipline your thinking.  You can control what you think about, you just have to have the discipline, and character to do it.  \nWhenever you notice your mind wondering onto something else, make yourself focus on what it is your suppose to be thinking about.  It will be difficult at first, but will become easier the more you make yourself do it.  \nYou will find that you will become a more productive person when you can force yourself to focus on a task.


7th & 8th grade basketball? I heard that a player can play up but a player cannot play down.

I was a Coach at a Junoir High and a High School for many years. As a ninth-grader you can "play up" as a Super-Frosh. I had two occassions also where an eighth-grader was asked to "play up" on the High School JV Team for two games. The eighth-graders continued to play on the Jr. High Team after playing up, but Super-Frosh continued to play at the High School level. \nIn my district, Super-Froshes played on both High School Varsity and High School JV and eleventh-graders down to eighth-graders could play High School JV.\nI agree with the other responder that it is counter-productive to play down if you play well at a higher level. However, if you are on-the-fence, playing up selectively is a good idea.\n\nOldCoach


so...if u dont know who he is(u should) then...sucks for you but if you doo im trying to take a poll of who thinks he was murderd and who thinks he commited suicide...i think he was murderd ...and i dislike courtney love with a purple passion

My love, Kurt did not kill himself. He had just gotten out of rehab and his life was taking a turn for the better. Courtney, however, sucks. She didn't pull the trigger, but i'm willing to bet that she had a hand in his MURDER. Yes. murder. But that is dependant on the question of whether or not he is actually dead. There is rumor that he and JFK are under the Penatgon as we speak. Despite the slim odds for this theory, it is what i wish to believe. If you insist that my beloved Kurt is dead, then i shall tell you this. Kurt loved his music and his daughter and anyone in that position would not commit suicide. However, if i was married to Courtney Love i might have to shoot myself as well... not that he did, because he didn't.


When our first married female is elected president, will we call her husband the first man? First male? First gentleman? What?! Will it be politicaly correct? Or is it already chosen and we just have never had an oportunity to use it?

Her husband would be called First Gentleman

A recent example of the Germans negotiating with terrorists.\n\nhttp://michaelyon.blogspot.com/2006/01/catch-and-release.html

Giving terrorists what they want just encourages more terrorism, and results in more violence, and more innocent people hurt or killed.  The best way to deal with terrorists is to hunt them down and stop them before thay have a chance to do it again to someone else.


I'm a 21 year old looking to join a public gym like Bally's. I really want to work on my upper body(i'm a beginning weight lifter, but not fat)such as the chest/pecs. What are some exercises or tips that are good for the chest besides bench pressing? I say without, because I won't have a spotter at a public gym. Finally, to stay on topic, is it possible to build nice pecs without benching? Thanks!

If you're not going to have a spotter, you  might be better off finding a gym which has machines instead of free weights.\n\nMachines are safer to use if you don't have a spotter.  You can't drop the bar on your chest on a bench press machine. The worst thing you can do is to drop the weight stack and shatter the weights, but I've never seen this happen.\n\nMe, personally, I prefer the feel of free weights, but a lot of times, I don't have a spotter either, so I had to compromise and used the machines. If you're just starting out, machines and free weights will give you the same results.\n\nGood luck.

Simple, there is only 1 race and that is the HUMAN RACE. Hope you all consider yourselves as a member.

Most anthropologists believe "race" is not a meaningful concept.  Skin color mutates and alters rpadily as people move around.  It makes more sense to speak of ethnicity or culture than race.  And from a biological sense, when genes in humans do vary, it is usually due to geography and previaling conditions.  For example, most adult humans are lactose intolerant, but both pale northern Europeans and dark Masai folk can digest lactose.  That's because both groups were into dairying.

*No, this is NOT my homework. :)*\n\nThree circles with a diameter of 1 unit each are inscribed inside another circle. Find the diameter of the larger circle.\n\nI have been thinking about it for almost a week, and still cannot come up with an answer.

i asume that each circle has a radius 1.\n\nthen the larger circle will have radius:\n2/3*sqrt(3) + 1\n\n(draw a triangle which joins the centers of 3 circles. that is a equilateral triangle. the answer follows this immediately)\n\naditional detail:\n\nthe "center" of the equilateral coincides with the center of the large circle. so if you can find the distance btw the "center" of the equilateraltriangle and one of the corners of that triangle its done. you should only add 0.5 to it to get the answer. so to get that distance you should use trigonometry. that distance is: 0.5*sqrt(3)-0.5/sqrt(3) = sqrt(3)/3. therefore the radius of the large circle is 0.5 + sqrt(3)/3, if you take 1 as the diameter of the small circles.\n\nin writing 0.5*sqrt(3) - 0.5/sqrt(3), i have used the fact that if the side seen by 30 degrees is a, then the side seen by 60 degrees is a*sqrt(3). you can figure why the second term is there.

I think hes gay as so is Richard and\neric and anothony and Especially GEORGE \ncasue hes a fat emo \nHow do you know when one of your friends \nis gay???

You don't know and may not.\nIf you are interested in someone romantically and just want to know if he is available, ask him if there is any chance of you becoming romantically involved.\nThis sidesteps the gay issue and cuts to the core of your need to know.


Would you tell everyone in the store were you worked at or just start with a few nice people?

I don't think I would make an official announcement. I think it's best, in a workplace, to just continue to act professionally, as you have been, and if someone asks if you're seeing anyone, then you can say, "Actually, yes, I've been seeing Roger for six months!" Or, if someone says, "Hey, is there something going on between you and Roger?" say "we've been dating for six months, actually." Then you won't need to spread the news -- trust me, it will spread itself.\n\nAfter you tell someone, the best thing to do might be to follow up with a "We're very happy, but it's important to both of us that we act professionally in the workplace! We want to make sure everyone's still comfortable." And then continue to act that way.\n\nThe reason I say not to make an official announcement is that that is the most surefire way to get everyone gossipping (even if you don't think they will!), and looking out for drama. Rather, if you just reveal quietly when asked, it'll seem like "no big deal," or, people will realize that you've been acting so professionally, that's why they're surprised! They will be less likely to gossip that way.\n\n(Of course, if it's your boss or your direct report, or if it's against company policy, I would advise you seek a different job.)


As an aside, have any of you religious ever confronted a co-worker about this kind of cussing? If so, what happened?


No don't be rediculous.\n\nI'm going to throw science books at all of you.


ok I live with my dad and his wife [my step mom], and my brother and sister live with my real mother. I really miss them a lot and don't have my friends over often. My mom says that I can live with her if I wanted to and she would file the papers to go to court where I can choose who I want to live with. However,my dad is sensitive and I really don't want to leave him and make  him unhappy. One minute I want to go with my mom the other I want to stay with my dad any advice? please what should I do?

Well I would explain the problem first. And if you\ncan't talk face to face figure out something else \nwith a note or something. I'm sure he would understand. See how it goes after awhile and then if\nyou're still unhappy thats when you have to make a \nserious decision about what you want. Then tell them\nand give a good reason. I hope I could have helped. \nJust about all of my friends are in a position like that.

my social security check is automatically deposited to Well Fargo Bank, CA.  \nI'm changing to UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA,  San Francisco.

Go to the bank you want it deposited to.  Have them call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213.  Social Security will want to talk to you to verify your identity.  The banker will then get back on the line and give Social Security the new routing number and account number you want it deposited to.


my babyfather came over and i lil while later he asked me did i miss him. and i said yeah. a lil after that he was trying to feel on and i told him  no. so he kept on asking and i kept saying no. so he got mad a left. we not together and i was not in the mode.

Of course not.  He's mad cause you didn't give up no butty?  He needs to grow up!  Don't feel bad about it.  If things between you two are over, let it stay at that.  Sex w/ him will only confuse things, and probably make him have a emotional hold on you.  Keep it moving gal.

Keep to this side (ignore the Dark Side), and say, at least one mile in diameter?

There are an unlimited amount of craters on the Moon. In fact, the Moon continues to be hit everyday. This is especially true when we experience a meteor shower down here on Earth. A meteor shower occurs when the Earth intercepts an orbit of a comet that has debris in it. Since the Moon also intercepts this debris, those cometary particles cause impact creaters on the Moon because it has no atmosphere to stop the particles that look like shooting stars in our sky. When the Apollo crews returned with lunar samples and they were studied under a microscope, there were abundant microscopic craters in those samples. The largest craters can be several hundreds of miles wide. In fact the "Man on the Moon's" eyes are both ancient (4+ billion year ago) craters that filled up with lava.


Which style of Mortgage Payments is better for a Homeowner,\n1)Paying Biweekly \n2)Lumpsome an Extra Payment once every Year\nin 1) disadvantage is there is an extra 300$ for enrollment fees to be paid.\nin 2) advantage is that you can pay as & when you have extra cash to pay.\nAlso, if you pay Extra payments than 2), to shorten your loan-length, is there any hidden disadvantage?

Saving money (i.e. paying less interest to a bank) is never a disadvantage.  If you can afford to pay bi-weekly I select this method you will save additional interest.  If you simply make one payment extra per year you will save interest and shorten your mortgage length but it will be slightly less empactful than a bi-weekly payment plan.

I like guys who are romantic but it always last for a day or two. I am trying to find a guy who really likes me and have common interest. But it so hard to find one.

the best way to find a guy is for him to like you more than you like him. what i mean by this is he be falling for you then you be falling for him! Think of the movie or novel The Notebook (if you seen it!) the guy likes the girl and the girl isn't interested in him at first and then they both fall in love with each other. so that is the true love that i beleive in! and it also depends on what sort of person your looking for! just be true to your heart!!!!! romantic guys aren't always the best!!

let's say an agent sold a 300,000.00 policy and the premium is 100.00/month. let's say the agent is getting 80% commission. is the agent getting 80% of the 300,000.00 or is the agent getting 80% of 100.00/month?

That depends. Assuming your company annualizes your commissions, meaning they pay your entire first-year commission upfront, here's how you figure it. Multiply the monthly premium by 12, ($100 x 12 = $1200) then multiply that subtotal by 80%, or .8, for a total first-year commission (FYC) of $960. \n\nIf they don't annualize your commissions, then you'll probably get 80% of the monthly premium each month for the first 12 months. I say probably because if you broker out the policy, some companies have monthly minimums they require before they'll mail you a check. You'll still earn all your money, but you may have to wait a couple of months until you accumulate the minimum. For example, I use a brokerage that will not send a check for less than $50, so if I earn $35  per month, I'll have to wait until the second month before I get my $70.\n\nAlso, please read my blog about insurance agencies so you have a better idea of how it all works, at newlifeagent.blogspot.com. Feel free to share it with others, and please let me know what you think.\n\nBest of luck, and good prospecting.


Please relate the plot and the characters of "The Scarlet Letter" to the question and how did it impact the Puritans and on how they organized their society?

The Hippies believed in free love - in having sex with whoever they wanted to have it with. That attitude resulted in a lot of Hippies with STD's, but it also struck a blow to one of the basic morals of our society, namely you had to get married to have sex.\n\nThere was a lot of sex going on outside of marriage before the hippies, but they were the largest, most recent group in the US to advocate free love. They also advocated drug use. Our society frowned on that, too, unless it was alcohol.\n\nThe Puritans were in favor of marrying before you had sex, and they didn't do drugs.


If we're here due to evolution,why did it stop. There are generations upon generations of fish and monkeys that have never seen ANYTHING outside their own enviroment. How does hard factual science just plain stop. In my opinion we would see fish walking up on the beach constantly, Eskimos would have fur, we would see apelike caveman people making crude tools and pulling women around by their hair. I say that creationism is just as "far fetched" as evolution. If we are all here right now by random acts of science, that is a miracle in itself. I heard someone say that evolution is basically a tornado whipping through a junkyard and leaving behind a 747...why is that so much easier to accept by so many people than the concept of God?

Firstly, it is politically incorrect to refer to the native people of the north as "Eskimos." \nAlthough they have many names, they are most commonly called the Inuit.\n\nSecondly, who said anything about evolution stopping? The only reason that say "fish aren't walking up on beaches constantly" is that not every species evolves in the same way. Hence the idea of a "common ancestor" or "missing link."\n\nThirdly, as for evidence for evolution, look around at the various slight differences between species.\n(i.e. Black spruce and white spruce)

Normally You use the right Amygdala(fear)\nEnlightened beings seem to use their left(bliss)\nHow to stimulate the left-one?

Try having an out-of-body experience to trigger sensory in your left Amygdala. My boyfriend's mom says that she can have these experiences at will, after doing a lot of reading on them. Apparently, all you do is meditation lying down and you can "sink through the sofa and right into the ground and beyond." My guess would be meditation to stimulate a part of the brain that runs on bliss. Or falling in love... or incorporating more seratonin into your body somehow


this one site told me a black bug has nothing to do with a yeast infection but then what is it is it a std what is it?

It sounds like crabs to me. I found this description at myDNA.com:\n\nCrab Lice \n  \nCrabs, or pubic lice, are tiny, barely visible parasites (scientific name Pthirus pubis) that live in the pubic area and cause itching. ("Lice" is plural; the singular is "louse"). Pubic lice are commonly called crabs because they are shorter and rounder than head lice and body lice, making them resemble crabs. They are usually found in the pubic hair, but can also be found in other body areas with short hair (eyelashes, eyebrows, armpits, mustache).Pubic LouseCopyright © 2005 Nucleus Communications, Inc.

Specifically, with finding a home based business that will have plenty of demand, I want to get into something that will sell itself, and be profitable of coarse.

Think of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. For instance, do you like scrapbooking? Perhaps you could create scrapbooks for people that enjoy them but don't have the time or interest in putting them together. Just keep in mind...what's your expertise? what are your interests? what could you imagine yourself doing?\n\nThen, once you have some ideas, research, research, research. Check out the competition -- their business practices, pricing, customer service, etc. And also think about what you could offer to set yourself apart from these other companies.\n\nCheck the sources for some handy sites.\n\nPrior to investing your time, money & effort into a business name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available. \n\nThis entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. \n\nResearch is needed to make sure your trade name is legally available, before opening, before expansion, before incorporation or before designing your logo. Similarities in sound, appearance and meaning affect you too!\n\nThere are 16+ million trade names in use in the United States. Similar names matter, if close in sound, appearance or meaning. Similar names in related classes, distribution channels and customer matter too. You are affected by Common Law use (14 million), State Trademarks (500,000) and Federal Trademarks (2 million).

Spend more time to really know about him before you make that kind of decision, time do mean a good testing for both side to see this relationship is real or not...plus you maybe still too young or have lot of other time to see more people or more things in a more mature view later time.\n\nMost important is how your parents think? try to seek their advice, try to understand what they say to you is reasonable or not. As it is surely TOO risky for you that so young and have to follow this man to another country...as what may happen if things not work out well? that will be a big price to pay not mention may effect your study and future as well.\n\nHope you find your answer very soon then :)


Asslam o alaikum\nHow to c formate\nand how to save files from c  before formating\nand how to instal window\nwith best wishes and regards\nSincerely

Greetings and may we all have peace.\nI don't know if you have a functioning Windows installed now so I will assume not, so you will be using DOS commands.  \nTo save files from c: you can either use the DOS command "backup", which copies files in a compressed format, or you can use "copy" or "xcopy".  Xcopy is a versatile form of copy that allows you a lot of selectivity in choosing which files to back up.  You need either another hard disk or a lot of blank, formatted floppy disks to received the backed-up files.  You could also back up to a CD but you need a CD Write drive and its own software installed under Windows, since DOS cannot copy to a CD.\nTo format c: use the DOS command "fdisk" and follow the instructions.\nTo install Windows use the install CD and enter d:\install (or use the drive letter for the CD drive if it is not d:).  It is helpful, if you have a floppy drive, to insert a blank, formatted floppy in it to install some versions of Windows (e.g., Windows 98).

Valentine's day is coming up and I want to do something romantic and sweet since I don't have a whole lot of cash this year.

buy a clay flower pot from a craft store and paint it a solid color and then decorate it with either hearts or quotes or key words from special times you shared together- then buy some flower foam (also from the craft store) and stuff it in the pot- cover the foam with tissue paper or moss- Then bake him his favorite cookies and bake them with popsicle sticks in them- when they are done, you could glue fake leaves on the sticks so that the cookies look like flowers with leaves (I guess you could even paint the popsicle sticks green with something that is safe to ingest- food coloring?)- when you're done you have a pot of cookie flowers!


One doctor says left side of heart is almost dead another says he's stable to go back to work and the one that says it's almost dead says no work, too much stress and they took him off water pill, he had 2 bypasses 2004 with shunt and problems ever since. Lots of pains in chest-2 time released nitro and more inbetween time. Problems sleeping, sometime confused.

Yes it is, but I am not a doctor, remember this. Now, I have a heart murmer, and I have to watch some things. Stress is alot of the problems on a heart, but so is the lifestyle like smoking, drinkiing, some pills, and even one's thinking. I would suggest a 2nd doctor's opion on this, cause you need to get more help for him. I wish the best to you both, and god bless.

In the Addresses tab, check the To box next to Everyone.


with 1 straight cut u can slice a pie into 2 pieces. a second cut that crosses the 1st one will produce 4 pieces,and a 3rd cut can produce as many as 7 pieces.what is the largest number of pieces that you can get w/ 10 straight cuts?

I agree with milkyway's answer. I like mattlocke's method for its conceptual simplicity but it isn't the best method. Even with the 10 cuts that the question specified, mattlocke's method would predict a maximum of 36 pieces: 5 horizontal cuts and 5 vertical cuts yielding 6*6=36 pieces. But even with 4 cuts, this method can be shown to be suboptimal: http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e49/UKild/piecuttinghorvert.gif\n\nHere is an illustration of a method that yields more pieces: http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e49/UKild/piecutting.gif\nI don't have a proof that this method is optimal but my guess at the correct answer is the following:\n\nLet s(n) be a function that specifies the number of sections that a circle can be divided into given n straight cuts.\n\nMy candidate function is:\ns(n)=n+s(n-1) where s(1)=2\n\nTherefore:\ns(1) = 2\ns(2) = 2+s(2-1) = 2+s(1) = 2+2 = 4\ns(3) = 3+s(3-1) = 3+s(2) = 3+4 = 7\ns(4) = 4+s(4-1) = 4+s(3) = 4+7 = 11\n...\ns(10) = 10+s(10-1) = 10+s(9) = 10+46 = 56\n\nQ: What is the largest number of pieces that you can get w/ 10 straight cuts?\nA: You can get at least s(10)=56 pieces but I can't prove that you couldn't get more.\n\n-----------------------------\n\nOn further thought, I realized that the recursive formula I gave is pretty useless for most people, so here is the generating function ('s' is the number of pieces and 'n' is the number of cuts):\n\ns = ((n(n+1))/2)+1\n\nWhen n = 1\ns = ((1(1+1))/2)+1 = 2/2+1 = 2\nWhen n = 10\ns = ((10(10+1)/2)+1 = 110/2+1 = 56\nWhen n = 20\ns = ((20(20+1)/2)+1 = 420/2+1 = 211\n\n-----------------------------\n\n*** Update***\n   After thinking about srprise_me's response to my original answer, I have changed my mind. I now believe that the function s = ((n(n+1))/2)+1 is, in fact optimal.\n\n   As long as each new cut intersects each of the previous cuts, you are generating the maximum number of pieces possible. And as long as the cuts are straight, it is impossible for one cut to intersect another cut more than once. Therefore, if you can demonstrate an effective procedure for cutting a pie so that each cut intersects with every previous cut then you have an optimal procedure. Here is an illustration of such a method: http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e49/UKild/piecuttingV2.gif\n\n   Given n cuts, this procedure cuts the pie into s = ((n(n+1))/2)+1 pieces - the maximum number of pieces possible.


my boyfriend does tennis and i want to try to do a sport he does... someplace cheep would be great! thaxs

First, I'd suggest any club that has group classes. Not only is this cheaper than private lessons, but you can learn from others and also develop some practice partners.\nIf you are near the Lloyd Center, I'd suggest the Portland Tennis Center, next to Benson High. Otherwise, any of the numerous tennis clubs in town should have classes available. Just call one near you and ask about their schedule and prices.


everybody will be, but our teacher doesn't want us 2.

ur ten im 13 trust me its a lil funy alot gross if u need helP email Me @  jessy_arender@yahoo


You were seeing a woman/man for several months, maybe even a year or so. Everything seemed fine. But then one day he/she came to you and said, "I don't know how I feel anymore, and I just need some time ALONE... some time to 'find myself'...it's not YOU, it's ME"... but, he/she spent their "alone" time with another man/woman.

Sounds like its just an easy way out..Maybe to try and not hurt your feelings, when what she/he really wanted to say was "I dont want to be with you anymore"


I am about to recieve a new pair of glasses with transition lenses.  They are the lenses that change from clear to dark with the change of light.  Can anyone who has them tell me are they really worth it?

For the most part, they are worth it.  Just watch out in cold weather because it takes them longer to clear up when you return indoors.  Had 2 pairs over the last 5 years and loved them.
