I need all this for my science homework which is due the next day.......I have another question here, which that I doubt you can solve- Why is it better for a food pyramid to reflect both the number of organsims as well as the total mass of all the organisms at each level of the food chain? I really  hope tt u, a kind soul will help me complete my homework! Thanx anyway 4 even bothering 2 look at my question

Food chains describe the feeding relationships in a biotic community. It is also called the energy chain because it describes the flow of energy and material from one species to another ie from plants to animals.\n\nA food chain describes a simple flow of material. It starts with the plant and algae who convert energy from the sun and ends with a top predator. For the Arctic or Southern ocean, a food chain may run as follows: Plankton-Copepod (small animal that feeds on plankton-fish-squid-orca.\n\nBecause energy is lost at each level, the number of levels in the chain does not normally exceed four or five. In overpopulated areas, people often cut one step from the food chain by eating grains themselves rather than feeding them to livestock. This increases the amount of food available. The loss of energy also explains why there are more plants and algae than herbivres and more herbivores than carnivores.\n\nThe food chain often doesn't reflect the complex relationships within an ecosystem. In reality, you have a complex flow of relationships. To reflect this, you have a food web or foot network that shows a complex flow of relationships. (I assume this is what you mean by a food pyramid which is normally related to human diet).\n\nGood luck with the report.


Everytime we get into a fight he goes back to his home town and doesnt call or come home for a while and when i try to call him he just tells me he will talk to me some other time.  I do have a lot of trust in him i just want to know if maybe i have too much trust in him.

Not necessarily. He might need time to relax from the argument. If he tried to talk to you while both of you are upset, he might say something he will regret later, and so will you. For that reason, many smart men, who take their time cooling down, will wait until they are relaxed. That seems to be what your husband is doing. For him, hometown is a relaxing setting and helps him to cool down quicker.\nThat is just my opinion. Hope it helps.


My husband and I are trying to reconcile but I think he has a hidden agenda. I left my husband a year ago for putting me down all the time & my childern were also told by him they would be losers.But since the death of his youngest child he seems to change but I'm unsure it seems to me that he wants me to fight (fist fight) the other woman who he has been with the year I was gone. I told him the only way that would happen is if she smacked me in the face and It wouldn't be over him it would be only to save me. So I guess I'm wondering should I even bother reconciling with a this man even though I love him?

I would reccomend that you do some real tough self analysis, Im not suggesting that your nuts, Im talking about looking deep within yourself to see why you want to be with this man? Your evidence is ;\nhe has been emotionaly abusive to your children.\nhe has been emotionaly abusive to you\nhe may be trying to get you to do things you dont want to  \n          He knows you and you know him, ask yourself, do I want to go through this again, do I think he will be good to my children this time?\n          It sounds to me like he has many issue's to work out before he could be a good husband and father. I'm sorry if this sounds very judgmental, but I have very little patience for abusors. I feel that the victims of abuse need to be taken care of first and kept safe. If he wants to become a person who will be good for you and your kids let him do it first then consider reconciliation.\n     This way you will not have to deal with more abuse from him, no one needs hear put downs from their family, and you wont have to deal with any guilt you would have for allowing him into the lives of your children and him doing more emotional damage to them.

My friend is a very beautiful girl. She had this huge crush on a guy for 7 months, and at school she saw him hugging another girl, and not in a friendly way. This hurt her alot... I just talked to her on AIM and she is so sad about it... I'm afraid of what she might do to herself... from what I understand, neither of her parents are at home. I'm so worried about her!!! She's the best friend I've ever had... it's hurting both of us right now and I know it... I wish I could take all of her pain and just put it into myself... just so she could be okay. She left me one last message on AIM that said "I'm done." and logged off... I'm scared...

If you're really that worried, hiei4212, ring 911. Tell them it's a possible (preventable) suicide or self-injury. I can't believe people haven't said this already. Gee! Call now!


I'm sure many would like to know how to fid themselves of sinus infections.

It depends on the cause.  Many sinus infections are viral, in which case the only cure is a tincture of time.  Bacterial infections should respond to antibiotic therapy and fungal infections to antifungal therapy.  Symptomatic treatment includes pain relievers and possibly decongestants like Sudafed (provided you don't have a contraindication like high blood pressure).  Finally, some people have anatomical conditions that predispose them to recurrent problems and may require surgical correction.\n\nHere is an old (but free) article on sinusitis from the American Academy of Family Physicians:\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=9835855&itool=iconfft&query_hl=19&itool=pubmed_DocSum

I had a discussion with people today about abortion (touchy i know) and I said if a girl was raped by her father and wanted an abortion..I thought that would be logical. But oh no cause a few people stated that God wouldn't give her a child if he didnt think it was necessary or a good thing.  So why do people insist on bringing God into everything.  I believe in God and I enjoy church but I will not represent something, if I can't represent it fully.  I'm fed up with people who say no abortion cause it's agianst their religion, and yet they go out and get drunk, curse like it's common english, will bad mouth others, and just not be "religous" 24/7 ... I want to know why people bring religion and God into something when they think it further proves their point ... but will turn to something else if that helps them...???

Awesome! I respect you, alot, because of this statement. I agree that God should not be brought into alot of things. Alot of these people make such statements blindly as they've yet to receive any ACTUAL experience in the type of situation of which the person you're talking to has gone through, but they feel it necessary to enforce (selfishly, I might add.) that they are a Christian and that by saying this they gain points with God. It doesnt. Why would god want to enstill so much trauma on a person? Common sense doesnt react well with fear, and in this case it is the fear that God is abit shakey about their loyalty to him (Which if they were a true Christian then they would probably come to the conclusion that as long as you build good karma selflessly, then their diety would be happy.).\n\nNow the subject about people preaching their beliefs and then sinning out their asses, I believe you're right. In the Bible, it says that God'll cleanse your sins (NOTE: I am an Athiest and do not believe this, but this is for the sake of argument) but that doesnt mean you should rack up as much negative points while you can. A quote from an AWESOME Scream Christian Band (Hardcore True Christians, mind you.)-\n\n"...Christ is not a Fashion..." - Memphis Will Be Layed To Waste by Norma Jean.


not only do they run censorship software in the states but they actively turn in political dissidents in china . the big answer: their agenda is their pocketbooks rather than basic human rights . they have a obligation to protect the free flow of information because they benefit directly from that  free flow of information .  yet they freely participate in activities that violate basic human rights . hiding behind the premise that china promises bigger profits for yahoo . hmmmmm profits before human rights . sounds just like capitalism doesnt it . i had to create another account cause yahoo banned me for profanity . but yahoo's business ethics are more profane than any vulgarity i can utter . i only offend people with my words .\nyahoo's actions are getting people jailed and harrassed  for doing what the internet should allow you to do SPEAK OUT . but I 'am back and i will be heard . and i wont be stopped by capitalist pigs .

Well you can't control other people's feelings and to try to do something to break the relationship up is not being a friend to either of them. The only thing you can do is go on with your life and meet other people.


We complain that our voices don't get heard but we keep on voting for the same "Good ole Boy" candidates.  From the small town councilman all the way up to the President. We see evidence of wrong-doing and violations of the public trust and nothing is done about it except for a few flunkys who are like sacrifical lambs. Otherwise it's "Big Business" as usual and we get stuck with the bill.  Just another ENRON END RUN. When are we going to wake up?

Because they are duly elected.  When only about 60% or less vote in any election, then we get government that acts as though they only have that 60% in mind.  In other words by getting closer to a 100% turnout for elections you will get politicians that will actually listen to the American Public and less to Special Interest Groups.  It is not just enough to get out and vote we must convince everyone to get out and vote, then when we speak they will listen.  Until that happens we are going have more of the same.


They told to America: "We'll keep working in the neuclear weapons"

planksheer - Are you friggin' insane? We did not threaten North Korea first. North Korea INVADED South Korea. North Korea had 1,000,000 men on the DMZ alone ready to invade again at a moment's notice. And, in case you hadn't noticed, Kim Jong Il's government NEEDS to be toppled. They are in the middle of a famine that has lasted for years, and what do you think Kim's response is? "Screw the people, give all the food and money to the Army!" Tens and hundreds of thousand of North Koreans have starved to death so Kim can have pretty little parades in Pyongyang.\n\nWhat North Korea is doing is called saber rattling. It was first effective, at least where nukes are concerned, during Bill Clinton's presidency. North Korea threatened to develop nukes. Bill Clinton's response? "Give 'em tons of rice. And, oh yeah! Here's a really good idea ... Let's give 'em a couple of nuclear reactors! Ummm, for energy, I mean." Why WOULDN'T they saber rattle now? It worked beyond their wildest dreams the first time.

Does he think we can all afford to run right out and buy a new car? The working man will have to still buy gas. And if he dicides to cut off oil ANY PERCENTAGE, that means more expensive gas prices for the Middle Class, less jobs, and more homeless.

These are words used in doing Anga Puja to various Gods  during pujas like Vinayaka Chathurthi, Varalakshmi  Vratam etc.

It is best not to look for the meanings of the individual Sanskrit words but their use in context.  What you need is either a good phrase translator or a guru.  The site below is one meant to help during the preparation for Puja through Pancha Anga and Sat Suddhi:

Every relationship is not meant to be. There are going to be breakups, heartaches, and pain. Women tends to go through more pain in their life then men do. Every man that you come across and find yourself in love with is not going to feel the same way. There are good men out here just like good women, but they are hard to find. Don't it seems like it's the good ones thats always getting their hearts broke? Get out and make friends, mingle, do things that make you happy. He's not worth it. Someone can treat you better. He doesn't care about your feelings.

Isn't it a wonder how seemingly consistent the use of irrelevancies are in countering arguments? How often have you made a contention only to have it rebutted by something that is either not related, or is related in a broad sense but still fails to counter your argument? Here is an example: I am pro gun. Some of you aren't, and I respect that. I believe their designs makes them inherently effective for their lawful and intended purpose(s), that circumstantial rebuttals thereof do not disprove said contention. But some will reference their perception of the  societal impact of guns. That's a fair tactic to use, especially if one intends to use negative consequence to dissuade an opponent from his opinion, but it does not disprove the central contention of efficacy. Crime rates can be used to challenge that, but to a limited extent, and it depends on whether you look at things from a macro or micro perspective (upon which you choose to). However, suicide rates, even if criminal,

It's a sad state of today's society that few people truly understand how to properly debate a topic.  \n\nTake a look at this thread,\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Asw2jMjFL4LB6c3iJDZYVNcjzKIX?qid=1006020307384\n\nThe questioner, and her teacher(!), seem to think that she has an actual, valid argument.  Many of the answerers really have no clue how to respond.\n\nThere really is an art to true debate - defining an argument, making statements, rebuttals, affirmations, reaffirmations, etc.  I think it should be taught as a mandatory subject instead of being relagated to the geek squad/debate team.\n\nThe number of logical fallacies that you can trip over in normal conversation these days is amazing.  Ad Hominem attacks are quite prevalent.  For instance, a common question on YA currently is 'should an Arab country have ownership of some American ports?'  Most answers take the simple approach, "Bush is bad, therefore any stance of his is bad."  You may not agree with my answers to this, but I would think that a better counter argument could be produced.  Sadly, it doesn't occur too often.\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmRTc1Ys0qijjTzxFexYnXvsy6IX?qid=1006022108438

Example - 1 show every other weekend?  Or 1 show every 2 months with a new set list (a vew of the older songs) to keep people interested and coming back.  Won't playing more often burn out the fan base?  Every weekend, every other weekend? And so on.......

Repitition is the key here. The more the same people hear your regular song list the more they will look forward to seeing you. Then you can rework your regular song list to add new songs and keep the songs people most like to hear. Have the other songs that you are leaving out ready incase you have requests for them. You dont want to bore the crowd with the same songs every week but if you change all of them every week then people dont get a good ffel for what they like. A performance a week is not too much even at the same place. If your a good band and your lead singer has some small amount of charisma you will have a solid fan base in no time. Good promotion is only necessary if the bar is not a popular one. If the bar is popular the regulars will go there whether there is a band playing or not. There is your new fan base right there. but if the bar is always empty then it is up to you to get your fans to fill it, that is when promotion is important.


i currently have shared parenting and my children want to change that, they do not want to go to their dads through the week. do they have the right to choose who they live with?

They do not have a legal right to do so until age 18... BUT many times, with a teenager who is very aware of the situation, the judge (if a judge is involved) will take the teen's wishes into consideration....\n\nBut honestly, even if a judge is not involved, the thoughts of the kids need to be considered...  in my situation, I have 2 kids under 11 and we make the decisions... which I have joing physical and legal where I have them 1 week on and 1 week off... I purposely will not move away to complicate things, and my ex won't either... no matter how we don't trust each other on a personal note, we certainly put the well being of the kids first... and when things may change later with the needs of the kids, we will also be open to change

In an office setting, would it be appropriate to submit a resignation letter via email?  Or would it be more professional if it was delivered as a hard copy?

I have written a couple in my life.  The prefered method is to send a letter via the USPS (NOT through company mail).\n\nThe reason behind it is it provides a date (postmark on the envelope), and it has your signature, and it is something that CAN NOT be altered (anyone can take an email document and make changes to it - not what you want to happen).\n\nTo be 100% appropriate, it should be sent "return receipt requested" so that the person has to sign for it.  This, however, has gone by the way-side over the years.

Where did that come from? Of all time, why 420?

So far the majority of you are incorrect.\n420's origin IS known.\nthe term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos, who are now pushing 50. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke pot. Intent on developing their own discreet language, they made 420 code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation.\nSo there ya go, someone's parents out there invented the term 4/20.\nAnd remember this:\nThere are NOT 420 chemicals in Weed. It's about 315, the num. goes up or down depending on what you're smoking.\n4/20 is NOT police code or Maryjane.\nAnd that whole shit about Holland and 4/20 over there being "tea time" for smokers isn't true either.

Pulmonary fibrosis is the development of fiberous lung tissue as a result of a lung disease.  It is more apt to happen with chronic lung diseases.  So....the best thing to do is not smoke, wear a mask if you work in a lung hostile environment, eat healthy and exercise daily.  Also, if you have a respiratory illness, get treated for it early.  The quicker you get through a resp illness, the less damage done to your lungs.  This damage can accumulate over the years.

I like to work on the computer and I love accounting.  Unfortunately, I did not go to college.  I have certificates in Computerized Accounting, a certificate in Correspondence Secretary/Word Processing, but now I find that companies prefer people with degrees to give them a chance.  I am thinking about starting my own business.  I am 47 and   do not have a job.  Where can I find some information  about small businesses?

I guess I have done that.  I have always liked to talk...I have always liked to make people laugh... I turned that into a pretty nice little career in radio.  True, I do have a B.A. Degree in Communication Studies/Radio, TV, And Film, but there are a number of people in broadcasting that have never set foot into a university classroom.  There are a lot of places that say they "prefer" applicants to at least have some college. On the other hand, some places will accept "Real World" experience in that particular field as enough to qualify you for employment.  Just remember, Very few people working today can actually say they love the job they currently have, or even expected to be working in the industry that they currently are.  Sometimes it comes down to what you need to do to survive.  But if you have a dream to do something, with your life, you have to at least give it a shot.  If you make it.... fantastic!  But if you dont make it, at least you tried, and will not have to live with "What if I tried" looming over you for the rest of your life.

We know that it has been translated from Hebrew & Aramaic; things get lost in translation.  We know that various monarchs throughout time have removed various parts of the Bible - e.g. Constantine had all references to reincarnation taken out.  Why?  Because if people thought they had a 2nd chance, they wouldn't behave in this life.  We also know that it was written by a man - and ALL men are just that - men. So their translation of spiritual into material has to be flawed.  I hear people say... "well, in the Bible it states"...  I don't care that you were able to memorize the Bible - what do you think?  What do you feel?  What is your opinion?  There is as much spiritual gain to be found in a tree, a love letter or a hug as the Bible.  So why?  Can't we let people think for themselves?

I agree with your statements. \n\nMost people like to believe everything others accept as truths - it is so much easier that way. Not everyone has the intellect or time or truth seeking characteristic in them to make them want to find out the absolute truth (if it exists!). \n\nHere are some other things I question:\n\n1) the book of Mark was the first recorded version of the synoptic gospels (the other books follow mark) - however, early versions (about 50 AD) ended at mark 16:8 and did not include anything about the resurrection.\n\n2) I suppose you are discussing the literary christians - have people really looked at the teachings of the gnostics? Their interpretation makes a lot more sense to me. Perhaps jesus was married to Mary Magdalene....and Saul/Paul was a woman hater....\n\n3) isn't it strange that Paul ursurped the new testament (his teachings take over from those of the apostles after the gospels)? Does this make sense to anyone else - if paul was the right person to expand the religion, why did Jesuah ben joseph (Jesus to most) not accept him as an apostle? Oversight?\n\n4) Popes through the ages have committed incesteous acts, organised murders, led crusades against Christian parties (Saracens were Christians), meddled in politics, made huge errors in scientific terms (earth is flat and all that)...and people still believe that they would not edit the bible to suit their own needs?\n\n5) Most of what Christians believe today were decided at the Council of Nicea (Apostle's creed, Holy Trinity etc etc) - does this make sense? A group of old men telling future generations what to believe rather than letting them make up their own minds?\n\n6) Everything is based on faith. If you wanted to buy a stereo but you could not try it (you have to pay upfront of course), would you do so? You have to rely on faith that it is good and it works....Does this make sense? Can faith be described as ignorance and acceptance of what people tell you without being able to find out the truth? if Thomas can ask questions, are we not allowed to do so as well or is he just an exception?\n\nWhat irks me most are the bible loving people who have not read and have not bothered to do more research on the basis of their beliefs and yet come around and preach to others. isn't it a case of "blind leading the blind", and perpetuating the infallibility of the bible?\n\nI remember a Jehovah Witness telling me that he believes the bible to be true so I should as well. I asked him if a madman genuinely believed he was Napolean Bonaparte, does it make him Napolean? Of course not, this is a subjective belief. Perhaps this is it: we will never find objective evidence to prove religion either way and can only decide subjectively if we want to believe. \n\nBTW, for every example of a scholar who converted to Christianity after doing research, there are also the opposite cases, where scholars have given up their beliefs due to their findings. To quote one or the other as irrefutable evidence of the truth/untruth is probably naive.\n\nHowever, in my search for the truth, I have not come across the indication that the First Holy Roman Emperor removed all references to reincarnation. I question this quote from you.... \n\nUltimately, I ask if the teachings have harmed humanity and I think that my answer is no. The teachings of the bible are in essence good but only intellectual flyweights would believe it wholeheartedly and as literal truth.


Survive from having a jerk & incompetent boss.

The only way to avoid having a bad boss, or office politics is to go into business for yourself. I would just avoid contact with the office brass altogether, and just go about my work to maintain tranquility.


LMAO@praying for them, or for that matter anyone!

You were obviously being sarcastic when you said you would pray for them. Of course,religious people don't appreciate\nthe irony of such statements and you obviously confused a lot of them.\n\n That being said,as an agnostic who tends toward atheism I\ncan appreciate your viewpoint. The only reason I'm not simply an atheist is that there's not any more evidence to support your theory than that of a Christian. As well,I do\nbelieve the world and the universe are far more complex than\nany of us can guess at this time.\n In a world where there IS evidence pointing to the possibility of reincarnation, as well as paranormal experts\nusing scientific methods to investigate reported hauntings,\ncan the existence of God really be ruled out so definately?\nMaybe your inner conscious is just your personal belief system at work. Who can really say for sure what the Reality\nreally is?\n\n Still,I can't bring myself to believe in a Biblical God who\ncreated the universe,is all-powerful yet knows all our names\nas well as where the smallest sparrow has fallen. It does sound like a fairy tale.

I have a guy a care for i dont know if its love when he holds me i feel safe when he sings to me i melt when i see him with other girls i dont care i told him i did not have feelings after we had sex. he got locked up(put in jail) and i write him all the time and i think about him i even find myself humming the first song he ever sung to me.is it love or lust?

Love, infatuation, lust...I have no way of telling... and there has to be more to the story than that there is a pregnant girl claiming he's the daddy because THAT alone rarely lands a fella behind bars...but there's a chance he'll be there a while?...Babydoll, I don't know your jailbird, so I can't make any comment about the strength of your feeling for each other or whether or not he'd be worth waiting for, but I can tell you this, with absolute certainty: Loving an inmate is a VERY HARD ROAD....it's about slogging through endless paperwork, it's trying to keep up with rules that seem to change every week, it's waiting for incredibly expensive collect phone calls that might or might not come and when he doesn't call, praying with all your heart that the phones in the day room are just either too busy or broken and that he's not hurt or on lockdown, it's becoming obsessive about checking your mail and the heartsick feeling that comes over you when the letter you want so badly isn't there,it's about getting writers cramp and spending $20 a week on stamps and stationary, it's about dealing with either keeping it secret or dealing with disapproval of the relationship everywhere you turn and mostly it means living in a future you can't be sure of and that really does take a toll.\nIf I had a choice, I wouldn't do it, but I've loved the guy for over 20 years and I can't quit now...and I'm almost 40, so it's not as if I'm spending my youth dealing with the Dept.of Corrections...think carefully, Sweetie, it is a hard, hard thing to do and no guarantees.


In an episode of Seinfeld, Jerry ended an 11 year streak when he ate a black & white cookie and got sick.\nFor me it was Pizza hut NY crust followed by a nap (DON'T TRY IT)- ended a 14 year streak.  How about you?

The last time I puked was when I was 11 and ate a whole head of iceberg lettuce with lime and salt, and then went to sleep.. I woke up and had to run to the bathroom... yuck! I'm 25, and due to have a baby in ONE WEEK. I did NOT puke throughout my entire pregnancy, so my almost 15 year streak is still going strong. WOOO!!

Google is the anus of the internet.  Why don't we see a little teamwork to help put them out of business?  Especially now that they're in bed with Communist China, the anus of the world.

Okay... \n1.) You are an idiot. Yahoo are the evil capitalists here, they're the ones who sell out, they're the ones who offer site better placement in search results if they pay money.\n2.) You're an idiot. MSN is run by Microsoft (But I'm assuming you already know that), the even more shitty company that brings you computers that are impossible to handle or work with, Game systems that are put together from parts they practically buy right of the shelves (not to mention that they don't even make enough 360's to bring around, causing global chaos), they're the ones who try to think of new ideas... But google beats them to it.\n\nGoogle's products are better. \nTheir search engine is better than Yahoo's or MSN's. (and yes, I do realize that Yahoo is powered by Google, the difference is Yahoo sells out. See Above.)\nTheir browser (firefox) is better than IE.\nYahoo actually went to China first. \nWhat you don't see is that Google is doing the world a favor. Google paved the way for the internet... and they still are.


EPSS is the seperation between anterior MV leaflet and IVS, which is measured in the dystolic phase, why do we say that, if EPSS is greater than 1.25 mm (approx) is cosidered as systolic dysfunction?

The extent of opening of the mitral leaflets in diastole and their degree of closure during systole are mediated either indirectly or directly through the force of left ventricular systole. Therefore measures of incomplete opening or incomplete closure both reflect left ventricular systolic function


I want to know how to connect a Dlink 11b router to my lynksys11b router and get them to work somewhat like a hub

Think of it like this...  The "routers" you can go out and buy today at places like Best Buy, Comp USA, Circuit City, etc. are actually Routers with built-in Switches (with additional capabilities not really important to this question).  You can uplink your DLink Router to your LinkSys Router by going from one of the DLink's LAN ports to one of the LinkSys's LAN ports, and leaving the DLink's WAN port without anything hooked into it.  I'm not sure if you need to use an "uplink" port or not, as you had to do back when they actually made stand-alone Switches, but if that doesn't work, you might be able to use a cross-over cable between the two switch portions of the routers.

a translucent material reflects some of the light that hits it\n\nWhen light strikes a translucent material, it enters the body of the object, scatters and re-emerges from the surface\n\nIf an object is translucent, it will allow some of the light to come through, but most of the light is scattered


The Owners of my home are also in a bad way and putting it on the market and are offering it to me first. I have struggled trying to stay working the last five years (unemployed 20 mos. of last 5 yrs) and it has wreaked havok on my credit. I am working more securely now, but I need to purchase quickly. Other factors - houses are not selling in my neighborhood and remain on the market - one like mine has been for sale over 18 mos., many are vacant and for sale.\n  I would really like to finance in spite of my bad credit as the security of ownership would bolster my ability to repair and rebuild my credit. I am a single father with custody of 2 schoolage kids and a first time buyer.

This is a tough one, but here is a suggestion.\n\nFirst I assume the owner has a loan that has a due on sale clause and cannot be assumed. Try these first if possible.\n\nNext thing if you work at it you can do this. It might be a long shot with each person, but you will eventually find someone willing. You need an investor. This isn’t something like finding one in a thousand like it might seem. A lot of people, at least 1 in 10 or 20 invest in real estate. So every community has a lot of investors. You are going to set up a deal that is too good for them to pass up and then show it to 25 people and one of them will go for it. Put an ad in the paper in the investor section something like invest in this lucrative real estate deal and you will have your phone ringing off the hook of people to try it out on.\n\nHere is what you want to happen. They will buy the house from the current owner, and they will lease option the house to you. Since the market is poor in that area you should be able to get a good deal. Keep in mind the reason they offered it to you first is so they can sell it for more than it is worth and avoid a commission on top of that. So any price they offer you will likely be way more than they need. Unless you are dealing with abnormally nice and fair people. \n\nSo lets assume the house is worth 90k to 100k for the illustration here. The range is if you want to sell it quick or let it sit a while on the market. Although the range might be larger the way you describe the area. My guess is the 18 months on the market is one house with a problem that the stubborn owner denies.\n\nFirst you need to be able to negotiate with the current owner. They can sell the house fast with an agent for 90k, of which 82k is what they get, 5400 commission plus 2600 taxes and closing fees. So you can offer 90k-5400 and it will be the same for them. They have to realize this is true so take time to explain it. If they agree that they would sell it for that then you would do best to put an offer in writing and write in the buyer as “your name and/or assigns”. The “and/or assigns” means you can assign the contract to someone else. The investor you will now search for. \n\nYou will need more time than average to close, which might trouble them(might need to raise the price a bit). Or, you may need to add something in the contract like this contract is void if the owner happens to find another buyer willing to pay at least $90k. This way they can still try to sell it while you put the deal together. They will get to keep your earnest money as well if you fail to buy the house, so put as little as they will take, but it does need to be at least $100 or so to be considered a legal contract. You might also add something like more earnest money, to the tune of $100 will be handed over each month to keep the contract good for up to 90 or even 120 days if they will go for it.\n\nNow you will try and find an investor. It has to be a good deal for them and of course you would like it to be a good one for you. Part of your pitch will be that you are trying to split the good fortune and that since you “found” the deal you want some of it. So they are going to buy the house for the contract price you negotiated of 84600. Then simultaneously lease option it to you to buy it for 100000 in three years, or however long you think it will take you to save up enough money and build up your good credit to buy a house. Presumably the house will be worth more than 100000 or you need to lower your price. Be sure this option contract gets recorded along with the other papers.\n\nThe lease part of a lease option works like this. You rent it for say 800 a month now, assuming this is market rent you will start renting it for 900 a month and 300 of that goes towards your down payment (all negotiable of course). So if you end up buying it you only pay 600 a month rent. If not then you paid 900. Good for both sides. You will also agree to handle all rep


I know a few of the traditions, but was wondering about the beliefs behind them.  like why would it dishonor them to cut their hair, or after one great defeat, why would they kill themselves.  I understand a lot of this had to do with pride, but I would like to know some of the beliefs behind these actions and others like them.

After a great defeat, normally the victor would take the head of the leader.  His vassels, the samurai, sometimes would kill themselves, both as a show of loyalty, even unto death, and to purify themselves of the dishonor of failing their master.  \n\nThe key to the code of honor of the samurai can be summed up in the opening to "Bushido Shoshinshu", the "Code of the Samurai":  \n"One who is supposed to be a warrior considers it his formost concern to keep death in mind at all times, every day and every night, from the morning of New Year's Day through the night of New Year's Eve."\n\nnext sentence explains why:\n"As long as you keep death in mind at all times, you will also fulfill the ways of loyalty and familial duty."

Outspoken farmer gave David Crockett constitutional lesson\n\nThe 23rd session of Congress began its morning business one day in 1834 with a vote on an appropriation bill to benefit the widow of a career naval officer. Only moments before the legislation's expected unanimous passage, third-term congressman David Crockett arose.\n\nBy the time the man from Tennessee finished speaking, the notion was soundly defeated. However, by offering one week of his own salary and persuading most of his 240 colleagues to follow, the woman actually received more assistance than the bill mandated. To explain this blatant demonstration of political incorrectness, I offer the following parable:\n\nDuring his first term in Washington, Crockett and several other legislators witnessed a great fire in Georgetown from atop the Capitol steps. The heartbreaking images — freezing people huddled around hundreds of small fires, while in the distance raged the larger fire that rendered them homeless — motivated the lawmakers to appropriate $20,000 for their relief. For days, the smug politicians would bask in the glow of their benevolent achievement. Soon, it was time to seek re-election.\n\n''Well, friend,'' the unsuspecting campaigner called to the farmer at his plow, ''I am one of those unfortunate beings called candidates, and . . .''\n\n''Yes, I know you,'' the man interrupted, ''you are Colonel Crockett. I have seen you once before and voted for you the last time you were elected. . . . But you had better not waste your time on me, I shall not vote for you again.''\n\nThe stunned incumbent insisted upon learning how to regain the honest man's trust.\n\n''I do not see how it can be mended,'' the man said. ''You gave a vote last winter which shows that you have not the capacity to understand the Constitution. . . . You are not the man to represent me. I intend by it only to say that your understanding of the Constitution is very different from mine. . . . The Constitution, to be worth anything, must be held sacred and rigidly observed in all its provisions. The man who wields power and misinterprets it is most dangerous the more honest he is.''\n\nCrockett assured the farmer that if he had been the one with the vote, he ''would have done the same.''\n\nTo which the educated man ardently replied, ''The government should have no more funds than it needs. The power of collecting and disbursing money at pleasure is the most dangerous power that can be trusted to man; particularly under our system of collecting revenue, which reaches every man in the country, no matter how poor he may be, and the poorer he is the more he pays in proportion to his means. It is a precedent fraught with danger to the country, for when Congress begins to stretch its powers, there is no limit to it, and no security for the people.''\n\n''Well, my friend,'' Crockett said, ''I have heard many speeches about the powers of Congress, but what you have said here at your plow has got more hard sense in it than all the fine speeches I ever heard . . . and if I ever vote for another unconstitutional law, I wish I may be shot.''\n\nThe excellent constituent Horatio Bunce's message to David Crockett continues to ring true: Any government big enough to give you everything you need is also big enough to take everything you have.

That is a good story.\n\nBut, one reason for Government is to provide goods and services that can be a "collective action problem" or "free rider problem".  In a society, there will always be examples of the entire public good being improved by small contributions from every resident, while the entire populace would be greatly disserved by ignoring those contributions.\n\nA good example is the interstate system, (Thanks Eisenhower!) or the National Defense. A small contribution (i.e taxes) from each individual can add up to insure that goods and services can travel around the country, and that we don't get invaded.  \n\nIn current terms, we have two choices. A) give relief in the form of monetary aid to Hurricane Katrina victims on the gulf coast, with each citizen making a relatively small sacrifice in the form of taxes or B) choose not to give that aid, and watch tens of thousands of people suffer, through death , illness, bankruptcy, etc.\n\nI think most people believe we have an obligation to provide relief to some, but we all seem to draw a different line in the sand about what constitutes a "small contribution". \nFor example, it's expected that an additional $120 billion will be allocated to the Mideast war(s). That's about 350-400 dollars per American citizen. Is this a small contribution?\n\nEvery person draws their line differently.

I personally don't think that you should set an exact time frame tell him that you would enjoy sex if it were more sparatic, that if you get it less you will enjoy it more..... just have sex when you feel like it.... don't limit yourself to once every two weeks and don't feel that you have to once every two weeks if you don't want to

my brother in law recently seperated from his wife and she moved out and has been living with her parents. his wifes dad is a law officer and she and some officers recently come to his home were the kids had spent the night and told him that the kid were leaving with them and that if he wanted to see his kids to get a court date.  he did not let them into his home she did with her keys. and he did not give them permission to take the kids.  It is my understanding that there was no laws broken and i thought that custody and placemet is to both intell temp orders have been placed is this wrong. and since when do cops get involved in civil matters.  please tell me what the law is reguarding the childeren and who has more rights in the state of wisconsin?

cops cannot legally take custody of a child from one biological parent and give it to another.  UNLESS the children are in danger.  \n\nHe needs to get a court date and fight for custody of those kids.  Also, those cops can get in trouble for taking the kids.  \n\nIf the house was his, the wife had no right or business having a key or allowing anyone else in the house without his permission.  \n\nHe needs to get a lawyer and do it soon!

If someone has full parental custody, do they have to notify the other parent of a legal name change of their child? The father does pay childsupport and but has no legal child visitation unless granted by mother.The legal name change is for the last name only.

This is a matter of state law.  With 50 different states, there might be 50 different answers.  Here in California, I believe the answer would be that you must at least attempt to notify the noncustodial parent absent some legal reason such as a court-ordered termination of parental rights.

i heared that they're people in Iceland who are immuned from Aids whose ancestors were survivors of the Bubonic Plague and that they're female prositiutes in Africa who are immuned to Aids as well and the government is running tests on them to find a cure.

It is possible that some people have more resistance to AIDs than others. This has been conjectured for years. No one really knows for sure, however. And it is all of the populations of Northern Europe that suffered from the plague that might have more resistance, not just people in Iceland.

I am currently employed in a bank, it has been more than a year now that i am working in the credit department( we give loans )\ni dont know if it's considered a good experience for my application to the MBA.  since my undergraduate scores are not great ( maybe GPA 2.8 or 2.9 .. roughly) .\nWill getting in a MASTERs ( masters in finance) program before applying to an MBA help me get accepted ? because i am willing to do it .!!! i mean the masters is just one year before i start my 2 years of MBA. !!!!

1. Prepare early and apply to meet the first deadlines.  Download the application packages at some of the b-school websites. Take a look at the admission essay questions. You'll need to do well in this area to distinguish yourself from others especially if you are weak in any other areas.\n\n2. Score will on the standardized test (GMAT).  For top b-schools, you want scores above 650.  Take a Kaplan or Princeton Review class if it'll help.\n\n3. A seperate masters degree will only if it fits well with your career plans.  Personally, I would devote the 2 years on getting better job experience.  This means trying to get a promotion, working at a well respected firm, accepting projects that would develop your experience and skills.\n\n4. I would also talk to as many current students and MBA graduates from the schools you're interested as possible. In your application or essay, you can mention that you've talked to John Doe (Class of 199X) of their business school, it shows your sincere interest in their school. Business is about your network and b-school is no different. The more people you know from these top schools that are willing to speak positively for you, the better your chances of getting in. I would even write to the admissions officers.\n\n5. Keep current with b-school trends. Understand what kind of students they are looking for. Business Week is a good source. Also check out princeton review, kaplan, wetfeet.com, and vault.com.\n\nGood luck!


I am ready to get out again after getting a divorce, my problem is that after the way the marriage went and the things he said and did, my trust level really took a hit. I knew my ex husband a long time before we got married and he was a great guy, then he changed. How will i be able to trust someone again? How do I go about doing that?

You did not say how long it was since your divorce, so I'm going to assume it wasn't that long ago. My advice to you is to wait and do some soul searching, like, "what do I want in a man" and " are there some things that I need to do to improve myself before I get involved again", plus a million other questions. I know this from experience, I was married for 15 years when I left my husband and I made some really bad choices because I jumped right into dating. As for the trust thing, that's a tough one 'cause I have major trust issues myself. The best way I approach trust is not to compare every guy to my ex and I do try to give the person the benefit of the doubt. Also trust does need to be earned so do not give to much of yourself to quickly-let the guy earn your love,'cause girl your worth it!! Good luck.

Sorry Richard, my search didn't turn up much.\nArtifact-An object produced or shaped by human craft, especially a tool, weapon, or ornament of archaeological or historical interest.\nAnthropologists cite early pre-homo sapiens people as being tool using so it would reason that there is an artifact from 1-2 million years ago.  The Paleolithic Age (1 million years ago to 10,000 BCE, besides being a huge rnage of time, saw the first humans and with them the ability to pass on knowledge through the development of language.  These early humans were true hunter gathers andmost artifacts pertain to this seeking of food(Idaho link below).

Namaste everyone,\nI've noticed something very strange lately.\nTo begin with, I have always been a very heavy eater, I would literally have to eat 4-5 meals a day, or I would be to hungry to concentrate on anything.\nA few weeks ago, I began to offer part of every meal I ate to hungry ghosts, hell beings and the like so they would suffer less.\nIn the past week, I have continued this practice, but now, I only need one meal a day to sustain myself.

As I know it,the hungry ghosts can't eat,are not able to recieve your offering. There are other ways to make offerings to the hungry ghosts: put on your altar or in one corner of your room very clear water as an offering to them.If you want to make food offerings, you can offer the food to the Buddhas and Boddhisatvas,also to Yidams ,dakas ,dakinis and to the local spirits. You can make other types of offerings like pleasant feelings, joy, and happiness to all sentient beings.

I'd like to completely waterproof a circuit board.  Preferably with something that is thermally conductive.

What you need is a conformal coating. It will protect from more than water. It is basically a product you can get in a spray paint can you will need to apply it a few times to make sure the board is protected.\nThe stuff I have used before is ITW CHEMTRONICS KONFORM CONFORMAL COATINGS. There are other brands. Here is a link:\n\n\nother places will sell it than newark.


If you have ever watched the show 24, any image can be enlarged, and the image wont get blurry.\nNot just on that show though.\n\nIs it possible to enlarge ANY picture regardless of its resolution, and still make it not blurry.

If the resolution is low, the picture will be blurry when enlarged.  There are ways to sharpen the image or to minimize the blur, but it depends alot on the software used.  Obviously the FBI or a forensic lab would have proprietary software developed for that purpose, but a  good resource for specific information on ways to maniuplate images is at about.com (see link below)


will they harm the car or affect efficiency in any way?

They WILL affect your car..that is, if you manage to fit 285/50 x 20" on a merc E. The ABS will not engage properly, nor will the traction control, if u have any. U'll burn away the clutch faster as u start-off, u'll wear-off the brakes in no time as u try to stop the 20s from spinning. There's also the added weight. More than that, since all mercs are RWD, u should think about fitting different tires with different widths for the front and rear axles (ie wider at the rear axle). Good Luck anyways!


Whenever I go out running, my stomach feels like air got in it (not like I have gas or anything), and I get stomach cramps. Then I can't run anymore. I run for about 1 minute and it gets really bad like some muscle was pulled in my stomach and it feels like a stomach cramp. I think I swallow air while I run or something.

Common to newbie, you are simply nervous. Do some warm-up normally for 15 min myself (yes, 15 min, I instruct my students to do at least 15 min though for how long depends on diff people)


I was born into a protestant family. But I have been going to catholic church with my boyfriend for 5 years now. I've decided that I want to be catholic. I've heard that there are classes. How do I go about it?

You will need to speak to a priest about beginning RCIA classes. RCIA stands for Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. My fiance is doing that now. Basically, you go to classes one night a week for about 6 months and then you are confirmed the day before Easter at the Easter vigil mass. Tracy P is wrong about the church not recognizing a marriage or divorce. If have been divorced and are looking to marry in or have a marriage recognized by the church, you will have to seek an annulment. I don't know much about that, and also, that wasn't your question. I encourage you to seek out more information if you are interested. It is certainly not difficult to convert. I think that you will be very happy as a Catholic. I have been a Catholic all my life and I have always been very happy. Contrary to popular belief, the Catholic Church is not a bad thing to belong to! When people talk bad about it, always remember, Jesus faced a lot of persecution and resistance as well! I hope I could help you! Good luck.

I'm sure they have something to do with horsepower and torque, but what does it mean, when for instance, you may have a Mazda RX8 that has decent hp but low torque? Is this true, and what does it mean?

It stands for Raw horsepower and Raw torque. Did you need to know what horsepower and torque were too? Wasn't sure.......maybe I should add that too eh??\n\nHorsepower: Awhile back, a gentleman by the name of Watt (the same gent who did all that neat stuff with steam engines) made some observations, and concluded that the average horse of the time could lift a 550 pound weight one foot in one second, thereby performing work at the rate of 550 foot pounds per second, or 33,000 foot pounds per minute, for an eight hour shift, more or less. He then published those observations, and stated that 33,000 foot pounds per minute of work was equivalent to the power of one horse, or, one horsepower. \n\nTorque: A foot pound of torque is the twisting force necessary to support a one pound weight on a weightless horizontal bar, one foot from the fulcrum. \n\n\nOK. Remember Watt? He said that 33,000 foot pounds of work per minute was equivalent to one horsepower. If we divide the 6.2832 foot pounds of work we've done per revolution of that weight into 33,000 foot pounds, we come up with the fact that one foot pound of torque at 5252 rpm is equal to 33,000 foot pounds per minute of work, and is the equivalent of one horsepower. If we only move that weight at the rate of 2626 rpm, it's the equivalent of 1/2 horsepower (16,500 foot pounds per minute), and so on. Therefore, the following formula applies for calculating horsepower from a torque measurement: \n\n\n                                Torque * RPM\n\n        Horsepower      =       ------------\n\n                                    5252\n\nLol...besides the math....here is an article that might help you understand what you want to look for in your car. Good luck :) (but pay off the house first!!)


THE REFS SCREWED SEATTLE OF WINNING THE SUPERBOWL.

That was the worst Superbowl I have seen in years. Bad officiating, and just plain BORING (as I predicted). Yes the refs screwed Seattle (I hate both teams so this is a completely honest assesment), take back two crappy holding calls that were questionable at best, repost the touchdown that was taken away (as it was a touchdown), and remove the fake Rothelisberger touchdown which did not happen and the score is at least 24-10 in Seattles favor. THE REFS BLEW THIS ONE


What are the advantages/disadvantages of an interest-only loan.  In what situation/scenario would this type of mortgage be adventagious for the buyer?

As an expert in Interest only loans; I think they are a good way to get "more bang for your buck".  As long as you are in a market that will continue to appreciate, you have nothing to lose and more to gain.  \n\nI don't think that there is a special circumstance that would permit you to get an interest only loan, because it's been my experience that no one ever has too much money.  However, it IS more beneficial for someone who wants to stay in their home for a period exceeding 7 years; that time period will be the most beneficial to someone with an interest only loan.

Is this the coolest thing or what? I find it comforting knowing there is a place on earth where man has not yet left his footprint. Dozens of newly discovered species of birds, butterflys, frogs and plants. They have said anyone entering will come out with a mystery.

It is very cool that in our modern day world there are still parts of the are is still unexopled with many undiscovred plants and animals. I reminds me alot of Sir Colon Doyle's lost world. This must have how it been when europeans founded the amazon and reported back to europe.  I just hope they keep it nice and not let to many people go into it and explore it. Because if they they will probably destroy it or deminishing it's beauty and that would be a crying shame. I will cross my finger and watch joyfully to new developments.  With bad news around every bend it is good to hear something that will uplift my spirts.


Read this for schedule definitions.\nhttp://www.drugid.info/controlled-substances.html\nand tell me where does Alcohol realy belong in that list.\n\nthings to consider:\n\nIsopropyl Alcohol serves the same purpose of disinfecting as alcohol, but cannot be consumed safely, therefore does not count the same, in fact isn't taxed either.\n\nUse as a solvent,  Methanol would work better, and cannot be consumed (poisonous) and evaporates cleanly.\n\nTHIS IS A PURELY HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION! THEY WON'T TAKE AWAY YOUR BEER, SO BE HONEST.

It would have to be Schedule 1. The isopropyl alcohol or mehtanol are as related to consumable alcohol as a hemp bag is to marijuana. There is no medical use for alcohol as a drug, and so it would have to be Schedule 1.\n\nHow rediculous is it that Marijuana, which has both medical applications and innocuous practices of consumption, is Schedule 1, whereas alcohol and tobacco, both of which are deadly and have no medical use, are completely legal?

Maybe you should focus less on your weight and more on how you feel. You are hungry after you walk because your body needs fuel. This is normal. Keep walking and eating healthy and throw away your scale. Love the amazing woman that you are!

Toaday is v-day and he can't wait to spend it with me

Nah, he probably just want sex on V-day. If he's really interested in you, he'll have the patience to wait & take things slow. Do what gals do best, test him =)\n\nbtw, Fast relationship always ends in a very sad ending. Give it a Good thought about it. sit & just THINK for a moment & decide for yourself whats best for you, if u can't, i recommend getting advice from parents, dun accept their opinions right away! but analyse their opinions & again make ur decision =) Good luck~ *cheeRz~


If that question doesn't make any sense, Have you ever taken a course from PCDI or other Learn-at-home/distance learning course and successfully found employment in that career field you have learned at home?

Hi : Yes I once took a course in locksmithing which started me into a field I was not very familiar with. After (6) month's on the job I started my own business, now 26 years later I just retired at the age of (70). It can be done if you want it.


advantages of all inclusive resorts to the guest, the hotel, to hotel staff and to the country

To the guest:  You know upfront how much the room and food will cost.  You don't have to worry about saving enough money one day to enjoy a night out in the restaurant the next.  Plus they usually have a lot of included activities, although excursions and special services, e.g. massages, are extra.\n\nTo the hotel: A more predictible cash flow, since both the room and food are booked in advance.  Plus, you are a captive audience; this is more literally true on cruise ships but still it is often not easy to go "off resort" to book excursions, whereas they make it real easy to do it through them.\n\nFor the staff:  A wealthier clientele (people who book all-inclusive vacations tend to have more disposable income if I'm not mistaken.)  On cruise ships there is also the chance to develop a more personal relationship, i.e. your room steward is your room steward for the week, your waiter is your waiter for the week, etc.


wants to take the back seat and that he's not ready for a relationship i told him its already too late because i love him andi'm really suffering i can't eat , i can't sleep what sould i do ? why did he lead me ?

My first thought is, thank goodness he is honest about this. Secondly there have surely been signs that he has not been as serious as you have been. After 2 years it should have got past liking you into something much deeper. Sounds like he has led you on. Take off your rose colored glasses and see what is really there. Why did you stay? Did you set yourself up for a no win situation because you don't think your worthy of anything else? You are, but you need to learn to love yourself before you can love anyone else. A good relationship has good communication so there would be no surprises after 2 years. Let him go, work on yourself and then and only then will you be ready for more. You will also be more picky, more accurate in your choices.


I asked my fiance if she still have contact with that guy and she said only sometimes. They don't date at all according to her but when she's at work, she accepts the flowers that the guy gives her. I asked her if she can stop communicating with the guy but she doesn't want to talk about it, she only told me that I shouldn't bother because I am the one she loves and she really don't approves the courtship of that guy and she refuses to go on a coffee date with him a couple of times. She also said that its just companionship between them and no more beyond that because we are in a cool-off situation right now but have commitment that no suitors for her and no girls for me. She still communicates sometimes with that guy. I can't afford to lose her because I Love Her So Much...

What do you mean by a cool off period? do you mean you guys are on a break? (just making sure). That is the biggest pile of Horse dung that i have read in my life. Dude she tells you that you are the one that she loves, but yet keeps in contact with this person. She feels that you do not need to worry about it because you are the one that she loves? (RFLMAO this is funny) but yet she knows that you do not approve of it AND she accepts the gifts and flowers that that man sends her. AT THE VERY LEAST SHE COULD HAVE AT LEAST REJECTED THE FLOWERS.\n\n\nthats totally disrespectful that she continues to keep in contact with him when SHE KNOWS that man has feelings towards her and you do not approve. i bet she wouldnt take that as an answer if the shoe was on the other foot.\n\nobviously the person underneath me has never heard of unfaithful women and men that have absolutely no balls and will lie to your face. But there is one thing that i agree with and thats the whole trust issue. but your supposed fiancee is disrespecting your feelings. \n\nto each his own i guess


Needs to be a website where you can put up alot of mb of videos!


You can provide archeological, historic and/or bible reference.

Searching for the Ark\n\nSince the 19th century, there have been numerous attempts to find the ark on the mountains of Ararat. These mountains have two prominent peaks, one 16,950 feet [5,165 m] high and the other 12,840 feet [3,914 m]. The higher of the two is perpetually covered by snow. Because of the climatic changes that followed the Flood, the ark would soon have been buried by snow. Some investigators firmly believe that the ark is still there, buried deep in a glacier. They claim that there have been periods when the ice melted sufficiently to permit part of the ark to be exposed temporarily.\n\nThe book In Search of Noah’s Ark quotes George Hagopian, an Armenian, who claimed that he climbed Mount Ararat and saw the ark in 1902 and again in 1904. On the first visit, he said, he actually climbed on top of the ark. “I stood up straight and looked all over the ship. It was long. The height was about forty feet [12 m].” Regarding his observation on his subsequent visit, he said: “I didn’t see any real curves. It was unlike any other boat I have ever seen. It looked more like a flat-bottomed barge.”\n\nFrom 1952 to 1969, Fernand Navarra made four efforts to find evidence of the ark. On his third trip to Mount Ararat, he worked his way to the bottom of a crevasse in a glacier, where he found a piece of black wood embedded in the ice. “It must have been very long,” he said, “and perhaps still attached to other parts of the ship’s framework. I could only cut along the grain until I split off a piece about five feet [1.5 m] long.”\n\nProfessor Richard Bliss, one of several experts who examined the wood, said: “The Navarra wood sample is a structural beam and impregnated with bituminous pitch. It has mortise and tenon joints. And it’s definitely hand-hewn and squared.” The estimated age of the wood was set at about four or five thousand years.\n\nAlthough efforts have been made to find the ark on Mount Ararat, the definite proof that it was used to survive a cataclysmic deluge exists in the written record of that event in the Bible book of Genesis. Confirmation of that record can be seen in the great number of flood legends among primitive peoples all over the world. \n\nThe ark had a carrying capacity equal to that of 10 freight trains of about 25 American boxcars each!


The reason I am not with this boy that i am in love with is because he says that he can't have a relationship with me because i have a communication problem and he is a gemini and they communicate well. i want to tell him things but i am a very shy person and i don't know why it is so hard for me to tell him things. if i just try and communicate better do you think it will benefit and we will have a relationship?

definitely try to communicate!! it will probably help your relationship, but, even if it doesn't, it'll help YOU in the future, trust me.


I know we have keys in our alphabet (Example: A, B flat, etc.), but how do people with different alphabets name their music keys?

Actually, in French and Italian, even though the alphabet is the same as English, we don't use letters for notes but the following:\ndo - C\nre - D\nmi - E\nfa - F\nsol - G\nla - A\nsi - B\nso the keys are following  : Sol, Fa, or Do (Ut, in old French)


Thousands of people each day commit crimes and are sentenced for months, year or even life. However, there has been talk about prisons and jails overcrowding and that many of the criminals should actually be sent to a rehabilitation center. What do you think about sentencing criminals? Should there be a different punishment? New Laws? (Please be specific) Thank You.

I think people sent to prison for drug abuse should be in rehab centers.  Note, that's drug abuse, not selling drugs. Drug dealers should have prison time, but the punishment should fit the circumstances.\nIf the drug abuser commits crimes to feed his/her addiction, then jail time for the criminal activity, followed by rehab for the drug abuse.\n\nAs for murderers and rapists, I think the sentencing needs to be harsher.  And capital punishment needs to be enforced better than it is. 30 years of appeals and going through the legal system for a capital murder is too long for justice to be meted out.


what if I try talking to him and he ignores me?\nbecause he doesnt lagh at my jokes.\nnothing gained nothing lost ,right?

I am 21 years old and am getting wisdom teeth.  I am going to the dentist for the first time in a couple of years and I know that he is going to say that he wants to pull them because they always do.  Would it be a bad thing if I kept them?

It depends.  Your dentist will be able to tell you whether extraction is needed or you can keep them.  Most of the time, they are removed because they can cause overcrowding of your teeth.  This can cause future problems.  Also, sometimes they grow sideways which pushes on your other teeth.  Its really not that bad having them removed.  It can save you a lot of time and pain in the future.


I take ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin stacks all the time.  I work third shift and am a mom during the day, so sleep can be hard to get, and out of desperation, I started taking mini thins.  If I start to build a tolerance to them, I usually try to come off of them a couple of days, and those days are generally pretty miserable.  I generally take approximately 300-400 mg of the mini thins per day.  I have read on several web sites that they are not physically addicting, but are only psychologiclly addicting.  That seems really hard to believe since when I go a couple days without them, I feel like I'm about to have a heart attack.  I'm thinking that maybe I should try to give them up entirely, but I was curious if anyone out there might know more about this topic.

EPHIDRINE AND MINI THINS WILL KILL YOU IF YOU DO NOT STOP TAKING THEM.....THEY WILL GIVE YOU A HEART ATTACK


Is it one person or a few people? Is it case-specific? I am interested in knowing who made the decision to allow Great White's manager to take a plea bargin and who it is now who is deciding whether or not the state will offer the same to the club owners.

It's typically a negotiation between the Prosecutor/District Attorney and the defense attorney.  In many municipalities, judges have the authority to refuse to accept plea bargains and force the defendant to go to trial.


I got my second tattoo five days ago. It's a phoenix design on my lower back, but the skin is peeling in little flakes of color. This didn't happen with my first. Just a minor brush against it will cause some skin to fall off (my shirt had flakes all over it yesterday). It is scabbed in some areas, but the rest of it's just flaky. I use "Aveeno Non-Scented All Day Moisture" three times a day (which is what the artist told me to use). Is there something else I should try? Will the flaking cause it to look messed up when it heals?\n\nIt also itches like a mofo.

Q. Why is my Tattoo Peeling and Flaking Off?\nFrom Karen Hudson,\nYour Guide to Tattoos / Body Piercings.\nFREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now!\nA.\nPeeling and flaking of a new tattoo is perfectly normal. Before it actually begins to peel, the tattoo will look like it's covered with a whitish, cracking film. Then you'll see white or translucent flakes of old, dead skin start to peel off and some of the flakes may even contain some ink. Sometimes you can actually see a duplicate image of part of your tattoo peeling off - it's rather disconcerting, but it is also perfectly normal and there is no need to panic. It's a lot like a snake shedding its skin. Just add a little lotion (a LITTLE) to the tattoo to help keep it moist and encourage those flakes to come off. Do NOT scratch, pick or peel them. It will all be done in a few days and the color of your tattoo will start to return to normal.

I cannot taste the food I am eating because of this problem. Also it is mostly the food items whose smell is distorted.

Are you a smoker?  Smoking can affect your senses of smell and taste because those two senses are related.  If you quit, your sense of smell should recover over time, therefore your sense of taste (beyond just salty, sour, sweet, and bitter) will return as well.\n\nIf you don't smoke, go see your primary care physician, and ask for a referral to an ENT

I am in college and want to go to harvard for grad school or NYU. What are the basic requirments and is the competions as strict as it is to get into the undergrad school?\nthanks!\n\nwhat kind of GPA so you think they want form an undergraduate education?

Generally, it's a good idea to have anywhere between a 3.7 to 4.0 GPA in the hardest possible courses in your major. In addition, make sure that your GREs,MCATs,GMATs,LSATs, etc are in the 90th percentile and above. \n Of course, there are other things that they take into consideration, such as your Statement of Purpose, and your letters of recommendations. \n If your grades are top notch and standardized test scores are phenomenal, then you have made several steps into getting for Harvard for grad school.Make sure you professors write phenomenal letters. However, if your grades and test scores are high,you're practically in to NYU, unless you apply to Stern Business School, where it's just as competitive as Harvard, except Harvard is more competitive.\n  It all depends on what you want to do in graduate school.

ARE YOU ALLOWED AN ATTORNEY CAN YOU GET OUT OF JAIL AFTER SENTENCE

The procedures vary by state the and the type of contempt.  In California, for example, there is "direct contempt" that happens in the presence of the judge.  The typicaly involves being disruptive or ignoring the judge's orders or rules of court.  Direct contempt is punishable immediately by the judge.\n\n"Indirect contempt" is when you disobey a court ourder outside the presence of the judge.  Indirect contempt usually requires the filing of a petition by the opposing party and a hearing.


I'm getting braces on in 2 days, and know what pain it causes at first. I know wax works great,  whats the best pain reliever and other remedies.

Two identical corks float in sparate beakers. 1 beaker contains water. The other contains very salty water. Which of the following statements is true?\n- The corks both float at the same level in the liquid.\n- The cork in the very salty water floats at a lower level than the other cork\n- the corks will eventually sink\n- both corks are subject to the same buoyant force

oldhippypaul is right, the correct statement is "both corks are subject to the same buoyant force". The explanation is that, if they´re identical,they weigh the same. Since there in balance (i.e., there not sinking or emerging) the bouyant force must equal thre weight and, therefore is fhe same.

where does that "saying" and tradition come from?

Many of today's wedding traditions and superstitions date back thousands of years1. It is surprising how many of these were originally to ward off evil spirits, as well as to enhance good luck, fertility and prosperity.\n\nThere was no such thing as an engagement or a marriage ceremony to the Anglo-Saxon man. He would just choose a wife and, if necessary, forcibly remove her from her family home to his own home, where she would cook, clean and bear his children.\n\nLater, it was the fathers who recognised the value of their daughters as an asset; they became more protective, and introduced a 'bride price.' Daughters were then considered as the property of their fathers. The fathers now expected prospective husbands to show they could be good providers by offering the family valuable gifts, or by working off the price of the daughter's hand in marriage. (This is especially true of the Hebrew culture, who saw women as the center of the home, valuable in many ways, worthy of being protected and honoured.)\n\nCenturies later, this was reversed, when the fathers began to offer a dowry (payment) to their daughter's prospective husband. The idea was to insure against divorce, as the woman now brought something into the marriage. If the marriage dissolved, the husband would no longer have control of the dowry.
