I used to mountain bike a lot...but got rid of my bikes.  I would like something to ride the few blocks to work or sometimes on trails.  I quit riding in early 90's right when shocks/suspension came out...do all bikes come with that now..is it good to have.\nAlso can you get old fashioned shifters.  I think the shifters were changing around that time to some push-push(?) style that I wasn't crazy about.  I prefer the regular single lever - push it to go up a gear, pull to change down.\n\nOh...but I suppose I'm old fashioned and all these improvements are handy once you get used to them...

The Schwinn hardtail mountain bike from Wal-Mart is very inexpensive, has good quality shifting, good components, and is one of the few very inexpensive bikes that I could possibly praise in this way.  It does have front suspension that is suitable for mild trails and a cushy ride in the city.  This represens a well done $139 product.    \n\nHowever, a trip to the bike shop might be more educational and much more fun.  There's something special about a real bike-store-bike.  ;)  \n\nLast time, I bought an all-alloy 7 speed crusier, and it turned out to be a tad faster than my road bike.  I was so very surprised!    \n\nRevo-shift/grip shift isn't bad, and it is nicer than the SIS lever shift.\n\nIf you're looking in the "inexpensive" market, DO read the brand name from the rear derailer to make sure that it says "Shimano" or "SRAM" and never "Falcon".  That will save you a lot of money despite the tiny additional price.

i dont know what it is but most of the time or almost everytime, that thing never manage to catch me...so anyone really know about dream interpretation? or any website got information about dream interpretation.

It is a very common dream. I used to get them, but not any more. You are imaginative but do not realize your potential fully. you are a dreamer but with feet firmly on the ground. you have a lot of aspirations and hopes but you are secretive and do not share it with others.you secretly imagine miracles, knowing fully that they don't happen.\nI used to dream of peacocks landing and taking off from my terrace


Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Does the addition of zinc to copper cause an increase or decrease in the speed of sound in brass rods compared to copper rods? Explain.

Velocity of sound in solids is given by\n\n      v = sqrt(B/d) where B = Bulk modulus\n                          d = density of solid\n\nThe calculated speed of sound in a solid is proportional to the square root of the ratio of its bulk modulus divided by its density. Adding zinc to copper increases the calculated speed sound, mainly because the alloy (brass ) has a greater bulk modulus than copper. The bulk modulus of a solid is the amount of pressure it takes to change its volume. Since brass is less "compressible" than copper, its bulk modulus is greater. There are transverse waves, as well as longitudinal waves, in solids. Transverse waves are somewhat slower than longitudinal waves. The calculated speed of sound lies somewhere between the speed of the transverse waves and the speed of longitudinal waves.

i had knee pain to and i went to the physical therapist and they gave me a workout.  I went home that night, thru out the work out after 2 reps and bought a knee brace, a thin one just to keep the muscles warm, which i wore for a year and a half and i haven't had any pain since.  That was 4 years ago.  This is good for dull, stretched feeling pain, sharp pain is something that the trainers probably could help you out with.\nPS i only knew the work out was crap cause the workout they had given me for my shoulders the year before had gotten better by just working through it when i could and not using it while still getting the best workout when i couldn't.


i got tested for A.D.D. and the results came back negative because I didn't have a "history" but I swear I have it. Could it have developed over the past several years?

I was diagnosed 3 years ago. I think you always have it, but when i was in grade school there weren't enough tests to diagnose properly.


I just know that Kate got killed in NCIS, and Ana Lucia in Lost.


were born? if you believe them , you should let your brother, your sister, your friends and all the people around the world to live whatever they want?

I believe that simply being of the same species makes us all brothers and sisters in a metaphorical sense.\n\nI believe this means that for the most part, you let them live their own lives. But at the same time... if your brother needs a helping hand, you give it to him. If your brother needs to be straightened out about something, you do it.\n\nCompassion and Altruism are the best hopes for changing the world for the better. Whether or not this means we "literally" consider someone of a different race a brother or sister is irrelevant. I mean, if we were ALL brothers and sisters... we'd be commiting incest with every birth.\n\nIt's a metaphor. A mental tool used for getting people on the same page, and doing good. So get out there, and do some good.


I'm planning to import Gold from overseas & sell it in the US, it's gonna be a kind of wholesale, I did that long time ago in Europe working with a middleagent, I'd like to do it on my own here in the US. Any ideas? suggestions? parteners??\nThanks

I would definetly be checking into the legalities of doing this... There are alot of companies overseas that do not have the same standards of gold and mismark their items... My hubby is a jeweler and knows that working on gold from some countries is totally different than the stuff from here... I am sure you will need ot licensed up the wahoo for this. I take it you are buying straight from a mine since it is wholesale? Sounds interesting but scary to me...


I'm doing a history essay on why the mughals declined. i just want some info on other people's views. decline means get smaller, empire means a big army under one controller.

The Mughals faced stiff competition from the Marathas, and after Aurangzeb died in 1707, the empire started to decline in actual power, giving way to the rise of the Hindu Maratha Empire.


I need to write a letter in spanish but i don't know the language that well. I have tried many websites, and have checked it over with friends that speak spanish. They don't even understand it! \nIs there website where i can write my entire letter in english, and it will automatically change it to proper spanish, instead of using word-by-word reference? \nPS: just if ur wondering, i CANNOT ask my spanish speaking friends...:-l

The problem with most automatic translation services is that words can mean different things depending on the context.  For instance, you can say, "I dig that song" and the translator would say "I shovel that song" or something to that effect.  Even seemingly straightforward translations are difficult.\n\nUsing a word-by-word translation is also not a good way of doing it, as different methods of grammar and usage can make the translated piece look like gibberish.\n\nThere are a few engines that are not free that are approaching human level intelligent translation, but there are just too many ambiguities to consider without having a human who understands not just the words, but the grammar, vocabulary, and context.  For that, only human translation is the best way to send communications so they are understood.\n\nNearly all translation services are performed by humans in business and important correspondence.

I want to go into the Marines but my boyfriend and friends dont want me to.I know they care,but i want to do something big with my life.I know its not my only option but its different!And i have a recruiter,but i havent sigend up yet.And hes pushing me to decide before the end of my senior year in HS.What should i do?

Call2fly is right. I understand where you are coming from and that you want to accomplish something big in your life time,but know there are other ways. I thought that I wanted to join the Marines at one time, but chickened out after visiting "Paris Island." The Marine Corps, in my opinion is for "males" and is much harder on the "females" than any other branch. After weeks and even months of thinking it through I decided to enlist in the "Air Force." However, due to the fact that I didn't care for the drill sargents always up in my face and telling me what to do and when to do and the "homesickness" I decided that it wasn't for me, so I asked to leave. This is something you really need to think about cause if you do decide to enter the military and you end up choosing "Marines" then make no mistake about this but you will be put on the front lines in Iraq. I know a lot about the military because for one I have been in there myself and two I have had a lot of family members join and be deployed to Iraq after basics. Please do me a favor and take his advice and go to college and make a career for yourself that way. Tell the recruiter to piss off and get lost cause they can be anoying, I know!!!


With Pitt adopting her 2 kids and them having this baby with so much publicity, but for some reason, it's not important to get married, doessn't that send a harmful message to the young girls of America?  These boards are full of girls who don't have a clue about why they shouldn't get pregnant by their boyfriends, and here is this glamourous couple, who help starving children, she's some sort of UN ambassador, they're so beautiful, they're not married, everyone loves their babies, so what's wrong with it?  They should help the childrem and future children of this country by setting an example rather than contributing (greatly, IMO) to the perpetuation of the problem of children having children.

I agree with you 100%.  Angelina and Brad are SO wealthy and have so many resources available to them, that it doesn't matter much to them if they're married or not.  That is not the case with the rest of us.  Alot of young girls out here in the real world do not realize how having a baby takes away so many of their choices in life.  They don't realize how much money and time and energy it takes to raise a child alone.  At least if they start out married, there is some level of committment from the father that he will help raise that child.  Like it or not, young girls DO look up to celebrities and like to emulate them.  It would be nice if famous people such as Angelina and Brad would maybe take that into consideration in return for the lavish lifestyles they're afforded.  They're looking everywhere else to "help" people, instead of right here at home.

My girlfriends period ended last Wednesday. Yesterday I was at my girlfriends house and... lets just say she had some fun.  Later I noticed my hand was all bloody, well not all bloody but there was a lil bit... I asked her was that you? She laughed and said probably... I said did I cut you er something and she said no and laughed a lil more.  Is it normal for girls to have blood down there when there not on there periods?

Yes, its common.  Sometimes, when my period is done I bleed just a little bit.  Nothing to worry about.  It seems like it never wants to leave us. lol

I want to get a tattoo but my sisters say they will kill me if I do. Other girls say they like tattoos and that it would look good on me. Tattoos are forever so what should I do?

The beauty of a tattoo is the personal meaning and self expression behind the artwork.\n\nYou hit the nail on the head when you said "Tattoos are forever" - that is exactly it, and that is why if you want a tattoo you need to get a tattoo for YOU and no one else. Tattoos have always been popular on and off, for better or for worse in different groups... but recently I have noticed a lot of younger people, getting large pieces in visable areas, and I think it makes others think they should do the same thing.\n\nJust keep in mind where you are getting these tattoos, and if they are going to be visable for any sort of "career" you are interested in. I don't know how old you are, but your 20s are usually spent in college, or figuring out the next step. (You change a lot!) Not saying you will regret it, but it is something to think about.\n\nTake some time, look at some designs, and figure out what you want. If you decide it is something you really want to do, then do it, and don't worry what anyone thinks. It's your body! :)\n\nI do think a lot of, younger women especially, do find tattoos on guys attractive. It really just depends. Everyone is different. That is why I really think you just need to make the decision for yourself, and not worry as much if people around you are going to like or dislike it.\n\nI wish you best of luck in whatever you decide to do! <3

i get many blood clots during the 2nd and 3rd day of my MC.why do i get it?what causes it?

When there's a lot of blood in the uterus, it sometimes solidifies into clots.  There's nothing wrong with you unless you pass absolutely huge clots every hour or more or you saturate pads/tampons every hour or more; if this is the case, call your doctor.  I've been there, because my cycle has never been regular and my flow has never been light LOL.

Why would two teams be located in Los Angeles? Who would actually go to Clipper games, assuming the Lakers are more popular? Is it something like Chicago where working-class people support the White Sox while the rich support the Cubs?\n\nI can't imagine who would actually support the Clippers in Los Angeles, of course, obviously before they were good this year.

i think the population of LA is so big that it can support both teams.  the people that support the clippers are probably those who couldn't get tickets to see the lakers.  i used to like the clippers.  for the last 5 years they have been doing fairly decent.  if they were in the east they would have made it to the playoffs a while ago.  its because they are in the west where teams with .500 aren't even guaranteed a spot.\n\nthey have always had some good players too and high draft picks.  if you are a fan of the sport you would have probably went to see Lamar Odom, Darius Miles and Quentin Richardson back when they were on the team.


First to answer correctly recieve ten points thanks!

It was Dayton Hudson Corporation back in the 90's.  But who knows who has the controlling stock now.


Basic knowledge means primarily the concept and technicalities that goes into it and the major players and earners.

First, I would make sure you have at least 3 months salary saved up at the bank or in a money market fund for an emergency fund. Financial disasters like getting layed off or sick happen to all of us.\nSecond, I would pay off all high interest debt. Pay off everything you can except the house mortgage. Paying off debt is one of the best investments you can make. You will have more money in the future because you won't have credit card bills to pay.\nThird, if you have money left, start investing in mutual funds. I like Vanguard.com, other people like Fidelity, TIAA-CREF, and DFA.  Buy no-load, low cost funds.  If you are like most people you will invest part of your money conservatively, in money market funds and bond funds, and part aggressively in stock funds. Vanguard.com has an on-line questionnaire which will give you an idea how aggressive you want to be. \nInvesting in a mutual fund IRA for retirement may give you an income tax break. Talk to your tax adviser. You may also be able to invest in a stock mutual fund via a 401K plan at work.\nBelieving someone you met over the Internet and know nothing about is risky.  Read these websites for further information.


My husband and I had been living pay check to pay check for a long time. Now he makes enough that we don't have to worry about money any more, but that doesn't mean that I can spend as much as I want on whatever. How can I keep my spending habits undercontrol? I'm having a very hard time telling myself when enough is enough.

Go to your local library and check out "The Automatic Millionaire" by David Bach. It's easy to read, and the advice will work, if you're willing to commit to it.\n\nBeing automatic, you'll start investing money without it have a chance to pass through your hands to be spent first.\n\nI have no association with Mr. Bach. I just enjoyed his book, which I read at the "Costco Library" when I was unemployeed several years ago.\n\nBy the way, because I had my finances in good shape, I was out of work for 8 months, and it had NO IMPACT upon my financial life. My wife and I had properly prepared our finances to weather an event such as that.\n\nThe techniques discussed in Bach's book were almost exactly what we've been doing for 15-20 years on our own. We did some on purpose, and some we hit by accident. (E.g., my bank's mortgage was bi-weekly rather than monthly, so I paid off my "30" year mortgage in about 20 years.)


I am making a spreadsheet of all the films we own, and the different columns are title, year, running time, etc. When I go to sort the titles by name (alphabetically), the other columns don't sort, so all the info is mixed up. If I choose more than one column to sort, it still mixes it up. How do I sort the columns so they "stick together?" I want to make sure the info about the film stays with the film title - only alphabetizing them by name. I think it worked once, early on, when I only had Title and Year to work with, but I don't know how/why. Thanks!

Before you attempt to sort, make sure you select ALL of the columns that you want sorted. Make sure you turn off Header Row if you don't have one.  If you sort by column, it should keep all the rows together.\n\nIf it doesn't, then something is wrong with your setup.\n\nBe careful when trying to sort columns of formulas, if you don't have the formula placeholders correct, it might mess them up.


I didn't agree to installing it, it just came out of no where, and nothing I've done can get it to go away.

What you need to do to permanently get rid of it from your computer is click "Start."  Click "Control Panel."  Then click "Add and Remove Programs."  Look for "Yahoo!

Once you do, close Internet Explorer (if it isn't already open) and go through the uninstallation wizard.


Test Your Knowledge of Jesus' Teachings & Consider the 13 Interesting Questions\n\n(And Introduction to the Message of the Prophets And The Last Testament)\n\n1). Did Jesus teach eternal life was conditioned on obeying the commandments?\nYes ___ No __\n\nAnd behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, saying, "Master what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the Law? How do you read?" And he answered saying, "Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself. And he said unto him. You have answered right; do this, and you shall live."\nLuke 10: 25-28\n\nRead what the "Last Testament" says on this same subject. Does it agree?\nYes ___ No ___\n\nGod has only created us to worship Him (without partners).\nRead Last Testament 51:56\n\n2). Did Jesus teach his followers to worship no other, except Almighty God, without any partners?\nYes ___ No ___\n\nAnd Jesus answered him, the first of all the commandments is, "Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord, and you shall worship Him with all your strength and all your might and all your soul and all your heart."\nMark 12:29\n\nHe also replied to the devil who was trying to tempt him:\n\n"Get thee behind me, Satan; for it is written, Thou shall worship the Lord they God, and Him only shall you serve."\nMatthew 4:10\n\nRead from the Last Testament.\n\nGod tells us that He never forgives anyone making partners in worship with Him, but anything less than this, He forgives whom He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Him in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin.\nRead Last Testament 4:48\n\n3). Did Jesus order us to obey all the commandments?\nYes ___ No ___\n\nAccording to the New Testament in Matthew, he did.\n\n"Think not that I came to destroy the Law and the Prophets. I came not to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily, I say unto you that until Heaven and earth pass away not a jot or one tittle shall no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled."\nMatthew 5:17-18\n\n"And behold one came and said to him, Good teacher, what good things shall I do that I may have eternal life? So he said, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but One, this God. But if you want to enter into eternal life, keep the commandments."\nMatthew 19:16-17\n\nTherefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.\nMatthew 7:12\n\n36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?\n37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.\n38 This is the first and great commandment.\n39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.\n40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.\nMatthew 22:36-40\n\nWhile ordering us to obey the "Law" it becomes obvious that he ordered his followers to obey the commandments of Almighty God.\n\n4.) Did Jesus forbid bowing down to statues\nYes ___ No ___\n\nBy insisting on following the "Law" (Old Testament), Jesus did in fact endorse the message that Moses had brought down to the children of Israel from Almighty God;\n\n"Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in the heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them."\n\n5.) Did Jesus forbid anyone to worship him?\nYes ___ No ___\n\n"But in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."\nMatthew 15:19\n\nAnd in prophesying the Last Days, he clearly taught the same message:\n\n"But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: For the Father s

Much of what you write are what others wrote about Jesus.  He simply says, love one another as I love you.\n\nReligion attempts to formulate our relationships with one another and with God. Relationships are real. Prophets are concerned about how we treat one another and get along with one another. People come closer to God by coming closer to one another.\n\nChurches are big on preaching what to do, but churches (all of them) are human institutions and flawed. Churches are often the worst when it comes to practicing what is preached.\n\nSo a true prophet is interested in our relationships, and in people. Churches are interested in the business side, the money, the rules, the restrictions. God never intended to start any business.

My twins were born 1 day shy of being 3 weeks early, they were born at 37 weeks! My son was almost 7 lbs, my girl was only 4! They were no test ran, although my daughter was very small. They just assumed the boy got more nurishmnet than she did. Now they are almost 2, they daughter is still small, and they don't look like twins at all. The boy looks 3 or 4 and the daughter barely looks 2. She has just started walking and still says no words. She is delayed developementally, as far as her speech and motor skills. CPS was called in to investigate on a doc visit when she was admitted to the hospital for failure to thrive, and being underweight. She gained 2 pounds in the hospital and CPS deemed neglect on my part, saying that nothing medcially was wrong and that it was an environmental neglect, which is  crazy! Can the docs from back then be sued for neglect if there was something wrong and they failed to tests my daughter to see if she was okay. She has been frail since their birth!

It sounds like you may have a case, although of course ALL the details need to be reviewed. You should consult an attorney, I think it may cost you but it may be worth it if it was the hospital's fault. \n\nFind a lawyer and talk to them, I hope your daughter is ok. Good luck.

I am so tired of having to stand the presence of stupid people like you whether, it is in person or via the internet. My issue is people run there mouth and never have the facts to back up their backward or just flat out wrong answers. Especially the women on here get your statistics straight(Jantzen Y) She is such an idiot, in case you don't know what I mean, check the divorce rate statistics, it's not 50 or 55% just because you want it to be, It's 70% because that's the statistics 7/10 who marry will divorce. Don't take my word for it, check on the internet under divorce statistics, Idiot. Now for the rest of you losers, I will never come on this website again, it's boring and none of you have any thing interestind to ask or say.\n\nI have left this site and my presence will be gone.\n\nLater.

im pisces my man is taurus do we match ??

TAURUS & PISCES\n\nThis is often considered a "divine match," with the dreamy sensitivity of Pisces meeting the hands-on sensuality of Taurus. Both signs are quiet and peace-loving, adoring the good things in life. They usually share the same tastes when it comes to the arts and will seldom argue ...although both have a tendency to brood. Taurus' focus adds stability and direction to Pisces, while Pisces's creativity is lovingly encouraged by Taurus.\n\nWhen it comes to romance, Pisces is a true connoisseur who has a tendency to almost make a religion out of sex. However, there could be something of a decadent streak in this pairing. No matter how practical or upstanding Taurus might be, the deeply imaginative indulgence of Pisces seems to seep through. Taurus finds the infinite variety of Pisces to be especially inspiring, particularly the Pisces' craving to be dominated ...which the super-physical Taurus usually brings out in full force. \n\nBasically, these two signs make a friendly pair, frequently dazzled by admiration for each other, although Pisces does possess something of a martyr streak which can grate on the nerves of Taurus, and the Taurean display of anger often traumatizes the sensitive Pisces. Under such overwhelming circumstances, Pisces will soon retreat, leaving Taurus bereft of a prized possession. On the other hand, Pisces frequently dismays Taurus with his or her sky-high, rose-colored ideals, which are rarely practical. While both signs are artistic, Taurus will sell his or her art, whereas Pisces will either give it away or trade it for something else that he or she needs.\n\nOn the negative side, Taurus wants Pisces to produce, not just dream, and will attempt to corral the slippery Pisces. Since Pisces refused to be bossed or caged, this may leave Taurus with the dotted line unsigned. One thing Pisces will never comprehend is the Taurus desire for money and luxury...he or she only needing barely enough to get along. One thing Taurus will never comprehend is the Pisces penchant to drift idly through life. Taurus can also become irritated at Pisces' lack of business sense and shirking of responsibility. \n\nAll in all, this combination is a natural one that can work well, given a few minor adjustments. Taurus must get used to Pisces' hyper-developed dream world ...which is artistic, but occasionally manifests itself as plain paranoia ...while Pisces must learn to bear with the munificent materialism of Taurus. Since these two spirits are so generous, however, such fine tuning of their romance usually proves to be a joy.


The other (6) computers hooked up to the lan system are okay.  My computer wasn't even on at the time, but we did have a short power outage (about 1 sec) all the computers rebooted. (Mine didn't because it was off).  Now I'm on for about five minutes and I go to a new page and "can't find page" comes up.  I go to stand-by, turn back on, and I'm on for another 5 min.  This is getting aggravating!  Is there not enough cable for this many computers?  It worked fine before the storm, and not all the computers are on anyway.  Why is this happening?  Do I have to re-install the lan software?

try contacting your ISP or internet service provider. there might be some problem with the lines that's why you are experiencing intermittent connection to the internet.


i'm aware of single child births with this condition , but i'm intrigued as to if indentical twins exist with the condition ,so far i'm unable to se such evidence they do (or are actually possible.. searching for 3yrs now)

I've never heard of it, but it could happen. I mean, monocygote twins (identical twins) are exactly alike, their development is the same like any other baby, except for the company :) So I guess it could happen, I've never read a report case on it. The odds of an hermaphrodite are very very low combined with the chances of monocygote twins, the odds are almost impossible (just guessing).


Doesn't say whether it's good or the dark side...


Would you tell him that you love him,and to hold you while you cried?Would you ask him to forgive you,for all the wrong you have done?Would HE tell you not to worry,for HE is the begotten Son?Do you think his voice will be soft and flowing,like water from a fall?Or do you think is voice will be loud and boistrous,like a matting eagles'call?Would you kneel down to Jesus and confess to him your lies?Would HE hold you and comfort you as the tears filled your eyes? Would you shout,"Oh Lord I will follow you,until my dying day!Will you guide and protect me,each step along the way"? Would you thank him for dying for you,upon that dogwood cross?Would you say,"Please stay for dinner, and let us have a talk"?Would HE tell you that your life is not in disrepair?"If you give me all your burdens,and cast upon me all your cares".What would you say to Jesus,if he were sitting by your side?"Thank you for my salvation,I have nothing more to hide." (one of MANY of my published poems)Hope you enjoyed it

Jesus is our soul, we all sit beside him every day as he is within us.  Deep within us and when we dig deep enough we find him.  He's our conscience.  If we learn to follow him we will always be happy.x


I would like to know what's the macth for the sign Gemini that I can get along with and can handle a Gemini.

horoscopes are fake, why not try looking for someone you actually like and that likes you.


today at work i was in a meeting with my boss and the door was closed, i was sitting near the door.  my boss was talking to me about performance or something and i wasn't listening but then all the sudden i heard out of the periphery of my senses a loud toot and i was surprised because i did not toot and my boss must have tooted.  my boss said, "excuse me, but i haven't been feeling well" but i immediately arose from my chair, yelled, "DOORKNOB!" and stood next to my boss and started jabbing him in the shoulder numerous times.  he said, "excuse me what are you doing" and i said, "you did not call safety!!!" and kept jabbing him in the shoulder numerous times so maybe he would realize he would have to touch the doorknob.  he rose from his chair and he seemed like he was angry with me but i kept jabbing whilst he walked to the door and touched the doorknob and i stopped jabbing but then he simply stated, "you are fired" and then jabbed me in the shoulder REALLY hard.  do i have a lawsuit

It's sounds to me like you should be fitted for a straight jacket.  Sue the loony bin for letting you out too early.


i know i've posted about topics related to this, but, when the boy i like asked if I was doing anything or going anywhere wednesday night, and then nervously changing the subject- asking if I want him to download songs to my ipod, I thought he might've wanted to ask me out.\nwhat do you think??\ndid he just chicken out??

Maybe he was a little shy & timid.If he had to look around then he is definitely trying to hide his feelings.He may have changed the subject for another reason-he wants you to know that he was interested but pretends to be nonchalant about the question itself...as if it was just an innocent question that anybody would ask.Indeed he's interested,in my opinion...perhaps he wants you to chase or make the next move because like most people he isn't use to rejection.I've been wrong many times b4...but that's just my 2 cents!


I'm in the general area...but it depends on the kind of band...I'm country.  And i can't gaurantee a great voice anymore. (too much yelling at kids!)


To be a good Graphic designer What should I learn, and what programs should I train on, is the photoshop enough?

To be a good graphic designer what you really need is a good eye for design. This you must have.\n\nBut you will need technical skills as well. A graphic designer these days needs skill in at least these programs:\n\nPhotoshop\nAdobe Illustrator\nQuark XPress\nAdobe InDesign\nMacromedia DreamWeaver MX


A train moving 50mph meets and passes a train moving 50mph in the opposite direction. A passenger in the first train sees the second train pass in 5 seconds. How long is the second train? How old is the passenger?

one hour is 3600 seconds.  The train passed at 100 mph in 5 seconds. therefore, at 1/36 miles per sec in 5 seconds, 146 feet, 2 inches were traveled.


even the bigger than the biggest games also dont require a high clock speed.right?\nnor do u run a 100 programs at a time.\nthen wat was the need to make faster processors & introduce dual core technology to users, if they dont require it. if we are normal(or even hightech) programmers/gamers/users, then wat is the max. clock speed we shal go for.\nwat the dual core has to offer to such people?\nif u r n expert, then plz answer honestly that wat kind of users(or wat conditions) might be needing a clock speed >2.8Ghz.\nif i need a very very well performing pc, shud i go for a clock speed >2.8, or will it b just waste of money.\n\nplz answer almost all parts of my q. it is very necessary, & plz dont take it s a casual q.

People make entire careers out of studying the questions you've asked, so it's not reasonable to expect a total answer in a Yahoo Answers response.\n\nThe first thing to understand is that people use their computers for a lot of different things, not just games.  Some people do run a lot of different programs at once (I have about 20 different programs running right now on the machine I'm using to write this, and an additional 20 or so browser tabs!)   A lot of people (probably mostly "non technical" people who just do mail and simple web browsing and editing of small files) don't need a lot of computer power.   But people who run some kinds of games, or who do design work where the computer is responding immediately to inputs by doing simulations, or modeling something, will need a lot more computer power.   In some kinds of applications, dual core technology will help (it depends on the specific calculations to be done), and in others it will not.   If the calculation is "single thread", meaning that it all has to be done in a particular order because each bit of computing depends on the results of previous calculations, then dual cores won't help much.  But if some of the work can be done in parallel, in 2 or more independent calculations, then dual core will help quite a bit.\n\nClock speed is only one measurement of the effective speed of the machine, and it is the easiest one to understand.   But at least as important is how fast memory is.   And memory speeds have not been changing nearly as fast as computer speeds.   Because the computer is very dependent on accessing the memory (this is a very complicated subject all by itself), making the clock speed faster by 10% will usually not make the computer overall faster by 10%.


I am an American formerly living in Istanbul, Turkey.  I have been following Turkey's negotiation process towards membership in the EU.  I wonder what others think about this topic.  Do you think that Turkey will be able to transform itself according to European standards so that it can become a member of the EU?  There are 4 key points that Turkey needs to focus on if they want to become EU members:\n\n1.  Cyprus conflict.  Turkey needs to open sea ports and air ports to Greek Cypriots before Autumn 2006.\n2.  Armenian Genocide.  Turkey needs to admit its role in the 1915 Armenian Genocide issue and face up to history.\n3.  Kurdish question.  Turkey needs to recognize Kurdish identity and existence.\n4.  Freedom of religion.  Turkey needs to allow sectarian freedom in the Muslim community, as well as Christian, Catholic, and Jewish freedom of religion.

If EU doesn't bug Turkey too much, it may happen. Otherwise I expect Turkey to pull back her application and continue alone or join a Turkic or Muslim alliance or stg similar.\n\n1- It will not happen until Turkey joins EU & Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is recognised.\n\n2- It will not happen unless all (mostly ex colonial powers) countries come together and make a common declaration of all massacres in America, Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, North Africa, Middle East.. uhm anything left? And it will be declared as Ottoman Empire, as Turkish Government was established after the Ottoman Empire was destroyed. Otherwise we need hold Italians and Greeks reposible for what Roman & Byzantine empire had done. Including nailing Jesus and massacring first Christians in Turkey.\n\n3- This already happened this/last year. Kurdish is officially recognised in media, TV, newspapers. There are a few language classes opened on the South East Anatolia as well.\n\n4- Turkey is a secular country and people can freely follow their religion anyway. New smart-national-ID cards will be issued soon, and they will not have "religion" field on them. Also the citizens will be able to get their religion information deleted from the citizenship registry.\n\nI didn't quite understand why 4th item is an issue though. In UK and many other EU countries they keep asking religion, race etc on every step. Also for the 3rd item, Greece do not accept the existence of Turkish minority, also they destroyed all mosques in Athens and they're rejecting building a Mosque despite many Muslims living in Athens. Why is this dual standard? Even existing EU members are failing to meet EU criteria, why should Turkey do more than them?


he would get more money? uhhh, his kids could grow up in a good environment? really don't know!


How do you feel about the use of corporal punishment (spanking, flogging, electric shock, etc...) as a means of punishing less-than-satisfactory behavior from employees?\n\nI mean, it would have to be applied only in situations where the employee consents to it before he or she is hired.\n\nShould this be allowable, assuming consent is given on all sides?

I used to spank my secretary when she screwed up.  But I suspect she often screwed up on purpose.

Whether it is music, games, or software, file-sharing can give people access to a wealth of information. You simply download special software that connects your computer to an informal network of other computers running the same software. Millions of users could be connected to each other through this software at one time. The software often is free and easily accessible. \n\nSounds promising, right? Maybe, but make sure that you consider the trade-offs. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, cautions that file-sharing can have a number of risks. For example, when you are connected to file-sharing programs, you may unknowingly allow others to copy private files you never intended to share. You may download material that is protected by the copyright laws and find yourself mired in legal issues. You may download a virus or facilitate a security breach. Or you may unwittingly download pornography labeled as something else. \nTo secure the personal information stored on your computer, the FTC suggests that you:\n\n• Set up the file-sharing software very carefully.

This is for any one who has been branded by anything because that is what happened to me. My friend got mad at me and then got a backwards little C S brand (one she got at a ret stop) and heated it up on her stove and pop stuck me with it but its a clean burn so I was just wondering. Also she got mad because I stole her boyfriend, SORRY

Try using something called "Mederma". It's scar cream and it's amazing! I had a few cuts that were in a prominent place and I used it and they're gone. No trace at all.


what does the song 'revolution nine' mean to you? and if youve never heard it i can e-mail it to you.

"Revolution 9" is an experimental recording which appeared on The Beatles' 1968 self-titled LP release (known as the White Album).\nIt marked the peak of the band's studio experimentation; the inclusion of such a sound collage or musique concrete on a pop music release was virtually unprecedented. The recording is a bizarre combination of vocal and music sound clips, tape loops, and sound effects manipulated with editing and sound modification techniques (stereo panning and fading). Meant to capture the violence of a revolution in progress the track was influenced by the musique concrete styles of Karlheinz Stockhausen and John Cage.


do you wear underwear while using boadshorts? if you do, what underwear you wear? is it more likely that you wear thongs?


u can also tell me what u think about freedom. why do u think its important.

Freedom is being able to travel from one part of the country to another without having to get permission from your goverment.\n\nFreedom is being able to meet with a group of people and not get arrested for forming an assembly.\n\nFreedom is speaking out against the government and not disapearing in the middle of the night.\n\nFreedom is being able to practice any religion and not be persecuted by the government for it.\n\nFreedom is being allowed to ask questions like this.

It is an RNB song and it is a dueet with a girl and a boy. Its about a guy cheating on his wife when he's on tour. He said he really wants to be with her now but he can't cuz of his job, wife, and that he lives in rome.

Isn't that the national Anthem for France?


I refuse to use public swimming. I recently moved here from the ADK mountains of NY where fresh water for swimming and canoeing are abundant. I live north of Baltimore now and have no idea where to look for those secret places for such activities. Are there any here?

There are beaches along the Chesapeake Bay at Sandy Point. Also you can cross the Bay Bridge to Ocean City, Rehoboth and Bethany Beach. Some people kayak in the Potomac River but you have to be an expert because it is very rough. Deep Creek Lake is very nice and not over run with tourists. I am sure there are other places, too. Check the Baltimore Sun or The Washington Post for recreational sites.


I recently got a prescription for Yasmin birth control pills. My doctor told me to begin taking them as soon as I begin my cycle, which will be in two weeks. Can I begin taking them now to change when I get my cycle? Does it really even matter? Any answers/advice would help! Thanks! \n\nI forgot to mention, I'm not having sex at the current moment. Nor do I plan on having sex anytime soon. But thanks for all the advice. The main reason I'm asking is I have a wedding to attend on Memorial Day weekend and I'm a bridesmaid. The thing is the dresses are WHITE! WTF? I would like not to have my period during this time b/c it would save me the agony of anything wrong happening. Thanks again!

Here is a guide, hope this helps you...some women take it for there time of the month, others take it because they are sexually active...

I noticed when yu take an extacy pill youre so open. Your body feels so good, you can't get angry, you love everybody.  you want to talk to everyone, your pupils are dialated to where you can practically see your soul.  sometimes I wish I can be on "E" all the time. (just a little less intense).  Does any one feel me on this?

It has been over 6 months since me and my ex broke up, yet I still feel so messed up about it sometimes.  We only went out for just over 7 months.  She doesn't feel for me the way i feel for her.  I've tried letting my feelings go away, I've tried making them go away, I've tried rebounding...nothing has worked.  Why can't I get over her?


I have a 2-3 page essay on this due Tuesday! Help!

These sites should do it for you.  Good luck with your essay.

I like this girl at my school,we're both in the same age group and everything,I really want to go out with her,but I'm only in 5th grade!I don't know how to tell her,any suggestions?

Ask her to help you on your homework. Or do a school project with her. Ask her to study for a test with you at the book store or the library. (THAT WAY HER PARENTS WILL NOT KILL YOU!!!) Good luck. And enjoy how pretty she is. Stair at her for hours. Enjoy every minute you spend with her. Don't rush it because what starts fast ends fast.\n*BE HER BEST FRIEND


Of all of the 4 movies they made.. wich one did you most like and thought was funnier.. and was it worth it to make scary movie 4 ...

yeah it was worth it, maybe they should have used more actual scary movies to add more to it (like the one with Christina ricci about werewolves and jeepers creepers), my favorite was the first one, i enjoy i every time i see it.


do u think child development is a good major in college?

Absolutely! That is a burgeoning field. And very rewarding. I am a teacher in a child care centre and I am grateful for all those around me who have this sort of experience. It makes a difference to the kids too, the earlier they get the necessary intervention the greater their success. \nPersonally I think it would be terrifically rewarding too. You could work with all sorts of kids, if you choose occupational therapy you could basically choose your own hours, work from home or a centre and pick the rates you wish to charge. Best of luck!


a family member currently has both kidneys working at 50%, his potasium level is 5.8 what causes this and how can you reduce this

its obvious that the patient has renal failure possibly chronic variety of which causes are  numerous but you are asking the cause of raised Potassium(K+) levels and that is simple because the kidney is no longer to get rid of the right amount of potassium from the blood that it used to hence you will find more K+ in blood than normal.


Is it a good idea to start going out with a guy when theres only like a week of school left? He live like 5-10 miles away and idk if he has a fone. So idk what to do just wait till nxt skool year? Idk if he even wants to go out with me!!! He pays attention to me, actually listens and seems interested in what im sayin. And if me and a friend afre fighting he normaly taks my side so ya plz help!!!

He may live 5-10 miles away, but with summer coming up and everyone being out and about shopping, etc, I dare say that the two of you will be more than capable of finding MANY ways to have time together! If you don't ask him, you will be kicking yourself all summer, wondering the what if's. ASK HIM, instead of presuming the worst. Ask him for his phone number, or give him yours, and let him know that you want him to call. Give him your e-mail addy, and he can write you from the library if nothing else. There is ALWAYS a way to get together and find time to talk or hang out. Start with a good friendship and let it grow from there, or just ask him out and jump in with both feet. It's only too late when you pause, and another girl takes him away from you.....  Good luck!

I'm doing a project about Holi and would like to ask someone about it. If you would like to please answer the question. Thanks

I am an Indian\n\nPopular Hindu spring festival. It takes place over two days around late March or early April. As per the Hindu calendar, it falls on the Phalgun Purnima (or Pooranmashi, Full Moon). It is also called the Festival of Colour.\n\nOn the first day, a bonfire is lit at night to signify burning Holika. On the second day, known as Dhulandi, people go around until afternoon throwing coloured powder and water at each other, although the powder stings the eyes. A special drink called 'thandai' or bhang is also consumed sometimes, which actually contains small amounts of marijuana (Cannabis sativa). People invite each other to their houses for feasts and celebrations later in the evening. Rangapanchami occurs a few days later on a Panchami (fifth day of the full moon), marking the end of festivities involving colours.\n\nThis festival occurs at the onset of spring. This period, during which the weather changes, is prone to cause viral fever and cold. Thus, the playful throwing of the coloured powders has a medicinal significance as the coloured powders are made of Neem, Kumkum, Haldi, Bilva, and other medicinal herbs prescribed by Āyurvedic doctors.\n\nMythology\n\nHiranyakashipu was the king of demons, and he had been granted a boon by Brahma, which made it almost impossible for him to be killed. The boon was due to his long penance, after which he had demanded that he not be killed "during day or night; inside the home or outside; not on earth or on sky; neither by a man nor an animal; neither by astra nor by shastra". Consequently, he grew arrogant, and attacked the Heavens and the Earth. He demanded that people stop worshipping gods and start praying to him.\n\nDespite this, Hiranyakashipu's own son, Prahlad, was a devotee of Lord Vishnu. In spite of several threats from Hiranyakashipu, Prahlad continued offering prayers to Lord Vishnu. He was poisoned but the poison turned to nectar in his mouth. He was ordered to be trampled by elephants yet remained unharmed. He was put in a room with hungry, poisonous snakes and survived. All of Hiranyakashipu's attempts to kill his son failed. Finally, he ordered young Prahlad to sit on a pyre on the lap of his sister, Holika, who could not die by fire by virtue of a shawl which would prevent fire affecting the person wearing it. Prahlad readily accepted his father's orders, and prayed to Vishnu to keep him safe. When the fire started, everyone watched in amazement as the shawl flew from Holika, who then was burnt to death, while Prahlad survived unharmed, after the shawl moved to cover him. The burning of Holika is celebrated as Holi.\n\nIt is also said that later Lord Vishnu came in the form of a Narasimha (who is half-man and half-lion) and killed Hiranyakashipu at dusk (which was neither day nor night), on the steps of the porch of his house (which was neither inside the house nor outside) by restraining him on his lap (which is neither in the sky nor on the earth) and mauling him with his claws (which are neither astra nor shastra).\n\nIn Vrindavan and Mathura, where Lord Krishna grew up, the festival is celebrated for 16 days (until Rangpanchmi in commemoration of the divine love of Radha for Krishna). Lord Krishna is believed to have popularized the festival by playing pranks on the gopis here. Krishna is believed to be complained to his mother about the contrast between his dark colour and his consort Radha's fair colour. Krishna's mother decided to apply colour to Radha's face. The celebrations officially usher in spring, the celebrated season of love.\n\nThere is another story about the origin of holi. Kamadeva is a god of love. Kama's body was destroyed when he shot his weapon at Shiva in order to disrupt his penance and help Parvati to marry Shiva. Shiva then opened his third eye, the gaze of which was so powerful that Kama's body was reduced to ashes. For the sake of Kama's wife Rati (passion), Shiva restored h

I love him. He has blonde hair, and on May 19, 2006 I fell in LOVE! Call me crazy but this guys a total hottie. We watched him ride his horse and could tell that he was cute by his awsome butt! I know that sounds so weird!


details please and post a website or phone number

I think Bush is the most arrogant president I have ever witnessed.It's like he's above the law and can do as he pleases.For someone who has made so many errors and blunders he sure can be aloof.It's not confidence,it's sheer arrogance.Is it just me???

No, I don't think it is only you. I agree with you on this one, phrases like You're either with us or against us" said to the international community when essentially no country supported his decision to invade Iraq prove your point. In my opinion the man has the worst political tact ever shown on a political figure of any level, not only of the presidency.


I want to work on the design and functioning of cars, especially NASCAR. What kind of education and how do you go about getting into that industry?

Go the Kettering University in Michigan.  This college works with the car industries (GM, Ford).  They changed the name a few years back.  It used to be called GMI (General Motors Institute).  GM and Ford hire alot of engineers from this college.  Look at the link below and good luck to you.


And what the Human Rights Commission has done till now in the area of Human Rights\n\nWhy it come in to being at the United States of America intstead of the rest of the World?

What I know is that the USA are thought to be the center of the world.It seems to me that only Americans have the right to live.


ive liked this guy for a while.. i heard he thinks im hot but that was a while ago. ive talked to him a few times but hes goin off to college this summer but i kinda wanted to maybe get to know him better.  im pretty shy and id prefer if hed make the first move but how to i let him know i uhmm ..like him.. and advice on how to show him i like him without directly tellin him? thanks!

go to the flower delivery service and send him a going away balloon, with a note saying "I would like to really know you better before you go". put your telephone no. on the note with rsvp on it. then put hurry please.


she was born with one kidney but not much information taken her to gp but just quite vague

One kidney does pretty well and compensates nicely for not having a partner.  The life expectancy for those born with a single kidney is not any different than those who were born normally.  Other than avoiding sports that might include a contusion to the low back - soccer, rock climbing, race car driving, mountain biking are a few that come to mind.  Even with those she might be able to participate, she should just wear some protective gear at the mid back.\n\nPeople who answer on this thing must be on crack.  Your daughter does not need constant medical attention or a kidney specialist or even to avoid sugared, carbonated beverages.  Mostly diseases of old age (like having artheriosclerosis or diabetes in old age) and trauma are the main concerns for a person with one kideny.


iam really tired here at work, is there anything i can do to wake myself up?

get interest in work.\nif u won love ur work,u wont like it


http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006052638866 \nI asked a different question yesterday (see link) and someone suggested that By-Polar people are insane.

I was all set to try to come up with a funny answer that was also informative or maybe even profound, when I read "tesfa maryam" and his assertion that bipolar disorder was akin to mental retardation.  Now I'm just going to be sick.  It's obvious that someone that intelligent must be a rocket scientist, engineer, attorney, AND psychiatrist, so I'm just sick that I'm finding out that I'm retarded.


It was actually the same movie dubbed with spanish dialogue.\nand no, I didn't like it. Although I'm latin, I despise badly dubbed movies. I like movies in the original language, even if I have to read subtitles. If you've seen the dubbed English version of Crouching Tiger, you'll agree with me.


If you're a Pisces, or in a relationship with a Pisces, tell me what you/they are like.  Especially interested in the male version.  There's this Pisces guy at work who told me that we should go out because, among other things, he's a Pisces.  Pretty funny, really.  I kind of know the typical profile, but I haven't really known any actual Pisces, and I'd like to hear from you.  Thanks.

Here are some stuff about pieces : \n\nCharacter\nPisces is the twelfth sign of the Zodiac and is represented by the fishes. You are a dreamer and although you live in your own world you are also totally tuned in to your environment and those around you. You are romantic and sensitive with a very powerful imagination. You have a strong need to help others and although this means you are sometimes taken advantage of, you are really a very strong-willed individual. Your emotions are very important to you and you are not interested in the material side of life at all. Although you are sociable and make friends easily, you also need plenty of peaceful time on your own and you sometimes lie to yourself rather than face the harsh realities of the real world. When things get tough you will disappear into your own fantasy world. Pisces is associated with the feet and you may have problems in this area. With a Pisces Sun you are extremely adaptable and will go from one extreme to the other. But you are also very quick to learn and able to grasp complicated situations quickly. You have a great ability to transform ideas into something others can easily understand and appreciate. Because you are always forgiving and adjust to what others need, you do best with a strong partner who is supportive and understanding. But you are difficult to understand even for yourself because of your changing moods and chameleon-like character. If you are ambitious your low levels of concentration and lack of organisational ability may let you down in some professions but this does not mean you are unable to be financially successful.\nWords used to describe Pisces\nIntroverted, reclusive, psychic, imaginative, sympathetic, dreamer, artistic, compassionate and sensitive.\nCareer\nBecause you have a strong imagination and are able to hide your own personality behind that of a fictional character, you make a natural actor. This talent also lends towards success as a poet, artist or dancer. You also have psychic ability and excel as a medium, psychic, psychometrist or in any work requiring inspirational ability. Because you care about others you are also suited to caring and medical professions and being aware of the suffering of others makes you a good counsellor or religious worker. Your love of the sea means you will be attracted to work connected with it in any way. You often have more than one job at once and need variety with flexibility as you have a problem with strict time keeping or routine.\nLove\nYou are very attractive to others and have no problems finding partners, although these are more often than not the wrong ones. You are easily led astray by others and need someone who is strong, protective and who understands your easily hurt emotional character. \n\n\nHope this is usefull for you ! :)


I found it to be very moving.  It was very sad.

SORRY BUT PANDERING TO THE HYPE, WRONG WORD PERHAPS!! IN MY HUMBLE OPINION IT WAS A FILM MADE WITH AN EYE ON THE BOX OFFICE.

what do you call 25 polish people hanging around in a circle?..............i tell u later on

Don't know ... but they must be blonde (see below).


the process that is involved when people are deciding who to interview for a job?? and how long it takes them to make decisions??

There are many variables such as how many applications they have received, how long it takes to review the applications to find how many of those applicants are qualified, how quickly they need to fill the position, and the schedules and availability of the people who will be doing the interviewing.  The process can take a week, and usually takes longer for 'popular' jobs that attract many applications.


well I think you should get a few books.  definetly and italian-english/english - italian dictionary (both are important so get a 2 in 1 one).  Use tape/worksheet sets that you can get from bookstores.  Use online reasources as well.  You should find some online programs.  Do you have an mp3 player?  If so you should subscribe to a number of italian podcasts.  listen/watch italian tvshows and movies.  spend time with italian people that you may know.\n\n\nthe best way to learn any language though is to spend time in that environment


left -side vs. right-side brain damage caused by stroke will have different symptoms. aphasia-the ability to speak,understand speech,and put words together that make sense ,can happen in various degrees depending on the damage ,but the most severe forms will be produced after the left side of the brain our main speech center is damaged ,but not all language is lost because the are different speech centers in our brain,brocas and wernickes are the main ones,if your left side of the brain is affected then you will experience left sided weakness or paralysis,and if the rightside of your brain is affected you will have left sideded weakness or paralysis,sometimes no residual physical deficits remain-weakness in right or leftside and doctors can use your physical complaints as indicators then they can see the area affected on a ct scan or pet scan a neurlolgist can read eeg waves to see areas with decreased brain activity as he or she stimulates certain areas of the brain and elicits or fails to elicit an expected response measured in the eeg which looks similar to the line of an ekg which shows your pqrst waves but an eeg has different waves the results are pages and pages long,there is also a nuerological assessment,the doctor does starting by asking questions to see if you are oriented to person,place,time,event,and he tests reflexes ,hand grips,pupils for reflexes like dolls eyes ,these things indicate if the cranial nerves are damaged or intact and which nerve is damaged,different nerves have specific reflexes to be assessed,

The real estate market here in the U.S. is getting unpredictable and I was wondering if anyone invests in other countries.  Thank you.

"None of the above."\n\nThe best real estate to invest is in your own country, particularly if you live in the US. \n\nThe cost of ANY legal action between countries is way too high and 'predictability' is a function of your resources.\n\nIf you're looking for "return on investment", stay close to home. If you're looking for and investment that also doubles as a vacation spot, then focus on where you would want to spend your time. Either way, you'll do fine.\n\nGood investments exist everywhere, you just need the resources to identify them!\n\nGood luck!\n\nTrevor


Can you please tell me what these bible verses mean? Thanks in advance. \n\n"So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter." 2 Thess. 2:15\n\n"But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth." 1 Tim. 3:15\n\n"See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone." James 2:24\n\n"For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead." James 2:26

2 Thess 2:15 urges the churches to be faithful to the apostolic tradition which guided Scripture interpretation. Y'see, the gospel was PREACHED for 15-20 years BEFORE the first books of the New Testament were written. That PREACHED gospel was as authoritative and binding as the written gospel was! The tradition that Paul is referring to in that verse is the "Christian kerygma," a summary statement of the Christian religion; the rule of interpretation of both Old and New Testament Scriptures.\n\n1st Timothy 3:15 describes the Church as "the pillar and support of the truth." I wrote a paper on that to help me understand what the Church is supposed to be. It might help answer your question. The URL appears below.\n\nThe verses in James help us to know what genuine saving faith looks like. Genuine saving faith is demonstrated by the good works which flow from it naturally. Works do not PRODUCE faith, but result FROM faith. Faith itself is a gift of God (Ephesians 2:8-9).\n\nHope this helps,\nRobin

What is the difference between loosely coupled and tightly coupled between programming language and the database language

Loosely coupled means that one module or "section" of the design does not care nor highly dependent on another module of the system. As you can see, tightly coupled is the opposite.\n\nWhat they mean by loosely coupled with the database is that you want to create a design that is database independent for the most part. Your system does not care what type of database it is interfacing with because it does not know the details (it is black box).\n\nYou often want to achieve loosely coupled because for instance, lets say you designed an ordering system for a super market. All the supermarket data is stored in a database after each transaction and for looking up product prices. You want your system to not care if the database is MySQL, SQL, or Oracle. It should only know that if I give it a item that it knows how to insert that item and mark it as purchased.\n\nThis allows your design to be flexible. Lets say a year down the road the super market needs or wants to change from Oracle to SQL Server. Your design needs very little modifications. All that would need to be redesigned is the module that interacts directly with the database. This cuts your development time down, reduces the introduction of bugs, and can even make migration easier.\n\nIf it was tightly coupled, a lot of your design would know too much details about the database (like connection strings all over the place) and the whole system would have to go through a code review and extensive modifications might have to be made.\n\nIn short, because loosely coupled components know very little about the implementation details of other components, switching out a module that is database dependent is easier and will not introduce problems to your design.\n\nSide note: I always create a class to handle database interaction. That way I can create a class for each of the database types and switch them out of projects whenever I need to. Put the classes in a database library would be a good idea.


Hw help plz\n \nList the steps that are involved in the G-Protein Cascade? Thanks

G protein\n\nG-proteins, short for guanine nucleotide binding proteins, are a family of proteins involved in second messenger cascades. They are so called because of their signaling mechanism, which uses the exchange of guanosine diphosphate (GDP) for guanosine triphosphate (GTP) as a molecular "switch" to allow or inhibit biochemical reactions inside the cell. Alfred Gilman and Martin Rodbell were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1994 for their discovery and research on G-proteins.\n3D structure of a heterotrimeric G-protein\nEnlarge\n3D structure of a heterotrimeric G-protein\n\nGeneral properties\n\nG-proteins belong to the larger grouping of GTPases. "G-protein" usually refers to the membrane-associated heterotrimeric G-proteins, sometimes referred to as the "large" G-proteins. These proteins are activated by G-protein coupled receptors and are made up of alpha (α), beta (β) and gamma (γ) subunits. There are also "small" G proteins or small GTPases like ras that are monomeric and not membrane-associated, but also bind GTP and GDP and are involved in signal transduction.\n\nG-proteins are perhaps the most important signal transducing molecules in cells. In fact, diseases such as diabetes and certain forms of pituitary cancer, among many others, are thought to have some root in the malfunction of G-proteins, and thus a fundamental understanding of their function, signaling pathways, and protein interactions may lead to eventual treatments and possibly the creation of various preventive approaches.\n\nReceptor-activated G-proteins\n\nReceptor activated G-proteins are bound to the inside surface of the cell membrane. They consist of the Gα and the tightly associated Gβγ subunits. When a ligand activates the G-protein coupled receptor, the G-protein binds to the receptor, releases its bound GDP from the Gα subunit, and binds a new molecule of GTP. This exchange triggers the dissociation of the Gα subunit, the Gβγ dimer, and the receptor. Both, Gα-GTP and Gβγ, can then activate different 'signalling cascades' (or 'second messenger pathways') and effector proteins, while the receptor is able to activate the next G-protein. The Gα subunit will eventually hydrolize the attached GTP to GDP by its inherent enzymatic activity, allowing it to reassociate with Gβγ and starting a new cycle.\n\nA well characterized example of a G-protein triggered signalling cascade is the cAMP pathway. The enzyme adenylate cyclase is activated by Gαs-GTP and synthesizes the second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) from ATP. Second messengers then interact with other proteins downstream to cause a change in cell behavior.\n\nAlpha subunits\n\nGα subunits consist of two domains, the GTPase domain, and the alpha-helical domain. There exist at least 20 different alpha subunits, which are separated into several main families:\n\n    * Gαs or simply Gs (stimulatory) - activates adenylate cyclase to increase cAMP synthesis\n    * Gαi or simply Gi (inhibitory) - inhibits adenylate cyclase\n    * Golf (olfactory) - couples to olfactory receptors\n    * Gt (transducin) - transduces visual signals in conjunction with rhodopsin in the retina\n    * Gq - stimulates phospholipase C\n    * The G12/13 family - important for regulating the cytoskeleton, cell junctions, and other processes related to movements\n\nBeta-gamma complex\n\nThe β and γ subunits are closely bound to one another and are referred to as the beta-gamma complex. The Gβγ complex is released from the Gα subunit after its GDP-GTP exchange. The free Gβγ complex can act as a signaling molecule itself, by activating other second messengers or by gating ion channels directly. For example, the Gβγ complex, when bound to histamine receptors, can activate phospholipase A2. Gβγ complexes bound to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, on the other hand, directly open G-protein coupled inward rec


And please people lets limit the "smartassness" (Yes its a word ) im just curious as to what a word means to different  people around the country.

To be a Republican  is to be a member of the Republican Party which means they may belong to one of many  different groups that tend to be in the Republican Party.  I think it is easier to say what the Republican party has been against and then you will begin to understand it.  Under Theodore Roosevelt it was an environmental party, but for over one hundred years now, and especially in the last forty years it has fought against most laws established to protect the environment and people.  It fought against Social Security in the thirties and for the past forty years has attacked it and even tody would destroy it if it could.  It has fought against every minimum wage law that has been passed.  It fought against the Medi-Care bill in 1965 that gave senior citizens health care coverage.  It has fought against the Medi-caid program that pays for nursing home care for seniors.  It fought against most civil rights legislation in the 1960's including the Civil Rithts Act and the Voting Rights Act.  It caused legislation to be passed to restrict the rights of Unions after the Supreme Court gave them the right to organize.  It fought against the establishemnt of the National Labor Relations Board  regulating employer employee relations.\n\nBut what does it stand for?  \n1.Under President Bush: the  Reduction of taxes for the richest Americans and shifting more tax burden on to the middle class.\n2.Attempted destruction of Social Security.\n3.Protection of large corporations with special tax breaks and favorable legislation:  i.e., tax breaks to the oil industry (as if they need it) and making it a crime to buy a prescription (with a prescription) from a pharmacy in Canada or other foreign country.\n3. Reducing automobile emission standards and air and water standards in the country.\n4. making it a crime to legally possess medicinal marijuana in states where it is legal for pain relief.\n5.Creating the largest deficit spending in the history of our nation after calling the Democratic party the "party of taxing and spending".


I am having a hard time with all of my friends getting engaged all of the sudden. Most of them have not been dating a year yet, and they are dropping like flies! Things have really changed over the last year (of course) and my friends are never around when my boyfriend and I are. \n\nI have been dating someone seriously for 3 years who is also friends with the newly engaged. He lives out of the state and I am moving to live with him in a few months. We plan to get married in a year or so, but are not engaged yet. I am jealous that these "new" couples are getting engaged before us, and to make me sound even more self-centered, these new fiances SUCK! I'm talking about girls without any ambition, money-grubbing (my friends are very successful), vain... \n\nI need someone to tell me to get over myself here and be happy for my friends...Why does it feel like a put-down or insult to me when other people get engaged? It doesn't have anything to do with me!!!

Sweeite, it's alright.  What you feel is totally natural.  I have been with my guy for three years and I am the maid of honor for a woman who has been dating her guy for five months.  I have a complex about it, and she loves to rub it in.  \n\nSomething I have realized, though, through all this is that marriage, while being the ultimate committment is not required to have a totally fulfilling realtionship.  While I may not even be engaged, I know that we are meant to be and have a bond that my friend cannot even contemplate with her new beau.  \n\nNot being egnaged only means that you are mature enough to know that the marriages that last longer are the ones who wait two to five years.  You will not stumble into anything weird wwhen you get married.  You know everything about him.  Believe me, some of these new brides will find at least one thing that will surpirse them about their mate.  Getting married in the honeymoon phase of a realtiohsip, while looks good on paper, is not really the best way.  once that is over, what do you have left?  Only knowledge and understanding of the other will be the true test of time, and that can only come with time.  \n\nDon't sweat it.  You are the smarter one.  Know it, breathe it, live it!  You are one up on them, not the other way around!


i'm feeling ill today at work and don't have any sick days left.  i need to tough it out but time is going sooooooo slow.  i think the only solution here is to speed up time to 5:00 so i can go home and sleep.  any idea how this can be done?  keep in mind i'm not feeling well so nothing too taxing.

Travel close to the speed of light or get really close to the event horizon of a black hole.\n(Well, you DID ask it in the physics forum!)\n\nIf you just want to relax, why not spend some time on Yahoo! Answers!!!!! It's fun.\n\n\n:)


We are a small construction company in California and a field employee called in sick Monday, and worked 10 hours on Tuesday, without asking permission for the overtime.  Do we pay him for the overtime, or just pay the whole 10 hours at his regular pay rate?

Same as above.  But make sure you give the employee detailed corrective action in writting on how and when to request OT.  Then when he/she does it again, you can further coach and/or terminate the employee.


Where can I find articles online as to introduction of REITS in UK, especially the types of the projects the REITS invest in.

I sure am and thank God Louisiana instated this law and South Carolina is next, in the works now...........\n      anyone who isnt for it, well when they let him out hope he shows up at your door first...\n     all you hear about when hearing of these perverts is how many offenses they have already had!!!!! like 20, 30., 40 60 times!!!??? what??? we LET them that many times?? also if you just want them in therapy or prison forever, you pay for it with your tax dollars not mine, id rather go with capital punishment thanks.

Yes. if a person can actual bring themselves to rape, molest, ect. a child they dont deserve to live.  in my opinion they should get the death penalty because they dont fuckin' deserve to stay in jail so we the tax payers pay to keep the sorry mothafucker alive


The rate of cooling is directly proportional to the difference in temperature of the system with the surroundings.\nThis is why a cup of tea cools from about 70deg to 60 deg in much shorter time than it takes to cool from 40deg to 30 deg if the room temperature is constant in both cases,say 25deg.\nThis is a common life experience.


well what ever you want to think of tell your self and it is projected from within, \nWell life is something which we should be enjoying rather than sitting in a corner and feeling scared and sad, what are you sad about and what are you scared of...we have only one life, and one or the another day we have to die, so what are we scared about, what worse can happen than death,\nif sun becomes scare of losing all its hydrogen and stops shinning Bright then imagine what will happen to the world, it will come to stand still, you are a SUN at your own place. so do not be scared and sad, just think you are born today and it is a new life, count your blessings not your sorrows, count your laughs and not your tears, if you do this you will find life has given you more than it has taken from you...\nif you are reading this message you are lucky than more than half of the worlds population because rest can not read, you are using computer then you are lucky than 45% people of world who do not even have a single meal to eat...\nJust tell your mind you are better than those who are around yourself...\nand when you compare yourself with someone compare yourself with someone who is below you not who is on top of you....\nJust chill and enjoy .....\nLife has more than just sitting in a corner scared and sad...


I need to know:\n  -Objections from people who wants to kill mammals\n  -Answers for tose objections\n  -Some of the endangered mammals\n  -Reasons that you have to not kill them

Some times people kill them for the "sport" and even more for the MONEY!  Yes, like the tusks of elephants for the ivory.  It is really sad but it is true.  Minks get killed for their fur....but that has slowed down but it still is happening.  I think more people are aware of the crualty to all animals espically endangered and many have woken up to the wrong doings.  However, there are still some boneheads that don't quite get it.(But that is true in life)  PITA ia a great program trying to protect animals.

what do i do now that.. my bf's ex- just called and now he is acting as if he don't know i'm mad..? he cheated on me with this grl.before.. should i back off.. or should i stand my ground... and tell her too f*** off.?

"Love is the spirit of devoting yourself to someone important and close to you.  It is express by caring for and protecting that person."\n\nIf he cheated on you, he does not love and care about you. You will continue to get hurt if you stay with him.  Do not be blind by the love that you feel for him, use your commun sense and put aside your feelings, if he cheated and keep receiving call from the ex, then he will keep cheating on you.  Be strong and end the relationship.


They are my favorite comic people and I'm really mad they got kicked out of the paper in my city. If you do like Calvin and Hobbes, which is your favorite character? I really like hobbes and my favorite comic is revenge of the babysat.

Relax, Calvin wasn't "kicked out" of your paper. Bill Waterson retired. And yes, I think it is one of the best strips ever. I love the philosophical discussions between Calvin and Hobbes. My favorite episode is when Calvin saves a snowball in the freezer until July, so he can throw it at Susie Derkins ... and then misses! If you are a true fan, you will know what happens after that.


did u know that South Africa is 9 hours ahead of america? and i am in south africa now!! it is 17:45. so now who can tell me what is the time in austral?ia

Ok so all these people say this guy likes me, but he never talks to me. Then, a couple of weeks ago, my best friend said he dosen't like me any more. Then on friday night at my friends party, one of his kinda good friends said it was because he thought I was pretending to be dumb for him. Oviesly I'm not, and now I feel bad cause he's one of the few boys that I like that DID like me back. Normally those guys just be come my good friends. What do you think I should do??? Just get over him??? Talk to him???

Hey, if any guy doesn't like me because he thinks I'm pretending to be dumb when I know otherwise, I'd dump his sorry butt in a heartbeat.  And I wouldn't even consider anyone who hung out with him.  Losers!  All of them!
