i want to know that what does it mean that i have computer whose processors speed is 3.0 g hzr, and if the speed of data bus is 500Mhzr and the harddisk revolution speed is 7200 rpm then tell me why i require 3.0 g hzr processor when data bus speed is to low

Hertz is a measure of cycles per second of whatever.  In the case of a computer processor, it means calculations (in the binary calculations of modern computers 1+1, 1+0, 0+1, or 0+0 are the only possibilities) per second.  Kilohertz is 1000 Hz, megahertz is 1,000,000 Hz, and gigahertz is 1,000,000,000 Hz.  Thus, your processor does 3 billion calculations per second.  The data bus speed (the 500 MHz) is the speed of interaction between your main processor and whatever other peripherals your computer has, but the processor itself has a speed of 3 Ghz.  Your hard disk rev. speed is the rotations per minute that the disks inside spin at, and faster rpm means that the reader/writer head can read/write data faster.  7200 rpm is the norm nowadays, so you're fine.\n\nAnd Chicco, there have been overprocessed CPUs on expensive custom computers with speeds up to 4.8~5 GHz (though they burn themselves out pretty quickly unless you have some extreme cooling system).

My brother and his busiess partner - both have wife n kids --- it is definitely a limited company: turn-over 1 and 1/2 million a year (profit, I not sure about)\nA company they are dealing with is about to make them go under.\n\nANYTHING you can tell me much appreciated -- \n\neg: Is your house reclaimable?\nWhat can the can the VAT -man take?\nIs bankrupcy a better option? etc etc\n\nthanks in advance

You need legal and your accountants advice on this one, but as I understand it as a general rule the following applies, as a limited company the directors are liable for the share capital invested so if you have 1000 £1 shares the liability is £1000, if the company is liquidated the state is first along with the liquidators and then the remainder of the liquidated business is shared amongst creditors, for example 25p per pound, so if a creditor is owed £100 they get £25 as settlement.  The company directors personal assets are beyond reach unless personal guarantees are signed, fraud or misconduct has taken place.  As a limited company the directors are not personally liable so bankruptcy may not be the option to take.  GET LEGAL AND FINANCIAL ADVICE URGENTLY!!


the war in iran is at a stand still and ben laden is long gone laughing at the mess he made and bush loves his own private war he has going on right now, but i want our guys and gals to come home now no reason to have more dy for no need.

I'm having a really hard time sleeping and I have to wake up early the following day.  Do you have any tips on how I can stop from tossing and turning?

if you are not a book reader, go get a book, start reading while lying on comfortable bed..\nif you sleep alone in the house, bring some of your friend family in, tell him specifically.."ok dear im going to sleep..."\nif you dont like maths, do a little calculus...\nif nothing works, start saying your prayers like there's no tomorrow...\nyou will be asleep soon.


Religious people know that there is no valid argument or evidence for the existence of any gods - That's why they make such a big thing out of having FAITH - i.e. believing that a deity really exists despite the absence of any rational reason to do so.  If there was any persuasive evidence then they wouldn't need faith.\n\nSo, why do people do this?  What makes someone *want* to believe in a deity?  Is it an ego thing - The need to feel special in some way?  Is it a fear of death (though I can't see how there's anything to fear in simply ceasing to exist)?  Is it that they are naturally submissive people and need an alpha male character to tell them what to do with their lives, instead of deciding for themselves?  Is it loneliness?  As someone who has never been religious it's all a little puzzling to me.

The blind faith that people have in a god is brought about by many causes:\n\n1.)  Their parents and family taught them to believe in God and participate in religious functions.  If they tell their family that God does not exist, they face rejection and persecution.\n\n2.)  God is a security blanket for some people.  Isn't it so nice to have someone that is always thinking of you and loving you and saving you (allegedly) from evil?  But don't forget that when your spouse dies in a car accident that it was part of God's plan.\n\n3.)  The fear of hell is a powerful psychological weapon used by the church to force people into believing in God.  Religious people fear that if they reject the concept of God that they will have an afterlife of eternal misery.  Parents pass this fear onto their children to convince them to "behave appropriately."  It is a vicious cycle that continues from generation to generation.\n\n4.)  Many people lack the intellectual capability to conduct an objective investigation of life and the universe.  For these people it is just easier to believe what soceity tells them and they are unable or unwilling to consider any possible alternative.  They do not want to step outside of their mental "comfort zone."\n\n5.)  And for the lucky religious leaders and people in power, the belief in God has endless benefits.  Pastors get people to donate money to their church, Bishops get prestige and admiration for being so holy, and even President Bush can get support (at least temporarily) for a questionnable war because he claims that God talks to him.


cant figure out what the website it, bob uecker talks about it during brewer games, but i cant figure out the site, any help?

I just tried doing various searches for it & cannot find it at all.

I haven't seriously played volleyball in years. To be honest, my timing is terrible, and every hit I do hits the net or flys out of bounds.. However, I have close to a 1 foot reach over the net and should be able to get a good spike down if I were to practice..\n\nI've read tips about opening the hand, about the approach, the foot plant, and the wrist snap.. Is there anything else you can recommend for a better spike?\n\nI'm really looking to improve and believe with my reach over the net, I should be able to get an excellent hit.\n\nAlso, I am right handed, can you supply tips on how to efficiently hit on the weak side (2 position).\n\n\nThanks in advance..

you nailed the answer with your own comments, you need practice. With time off comes rust, with rust comes lack of confidence, which then leads to over thinking and lack of focus on the actual proper motion's.\nWith practice and a decent to consistant setter, your previous level will be easily atained. Stop worrying about the errors and concetrate on the positive swings you get.\n\nIf your looking to learn to hit weak side you must be very patient, as an opposite side hitter, you need to wait for the ball a little longer as it needs to come accross your body, at 1st cross hitting will be easier than line, but as you learn to wait on the set, hitting line will become easier. The motions are almost the same as hitting power side, a 4 step approach should be as follows (for right handed hitter's plaing opp), Right foot 1st and off the court, then left foot towards net to begin bringing you back to the net, then right foot in towards the net, and finally a 2 foot plant and jump, if the ball is in front of your left should you must hit it cross, if it's in front of your right shoulder( were it belongs) you have the option of hitting line or cross with a slight hand motion.\nBUT \nMOST IMPORTANTY understand your probably rusty, and time will get you back. Are you getting the same set every time, probably not unless your using a machine, in wich case getting back will be even harder, but with confidence and practice you will be back to your old self and maybe even better. 75% of all points are won or lost on a player error, so relax, remember vball is about the fun you can have playing and learning, and it will all come to you !!\nGood Luck


I am writing a 15 page research paper on lean manufacturing and hope someone could give me a good outline of what I should cover in my paper. The topic is one that I have not really been exposed to, except through internet searches. Thanks to anyone who could help. \n\n                            Thanks again\n                                    23bleyedblnde

A table of contents is something you put together AFTER you write your paper, not before. What you're looking for is an outline, and that's not the same at all. \nWhy are you writing a 15 page research paper on something you haven't really been exposed to? If you're going to do the paper at all, get out there and talk to people who are involved in the field and ask for their input on sourcing reference materials. \n\nGood luck!


Most have misinterpreted that passage in Revelation. 1,000 years was a symbolic number meaning perfection or when time would be complete. There is only the second coming of Christ, then the universe and time will not exist anymore. only heaven and hell.

You guys need to get your facts straight.The 1000 yr reign and most of revelations has already been fulfilled this is the time that Satan is loosed for a season. 24th chapter of Matthew Jesus was talking to Peter,James,John and Andrew and he said this generation will not pass till all these things be fulfilled. This generation is not that generation.


Specifically what organ in the flower causes it to emit scents.

Any part of a plant has aromas, not just the flower, but the flower is the sexual stage of the plant and has to attract the help of the pollinators! But the most "famous and loved" aromas are found within the vacuoles within the cells of the cbeautifully olorful petals of flowering plants.  These contain the most natural aromatic floral oils (which cause the aromas) that we can smell; aromas-scented oils were basically "designed by nature" to attract the birds-bees-pollinators; fruits produce aromas-aromatic oils too.(fruits are just pregnant flowers, the "swollen" ovaries of the stigma)


dont you think if the U.S. can send a guy at age 18 years or older to serve and possibly die for his country ...that he should also be aloud to drink>? well what ya think and why.>?

We asked that same question during VietNam


when you have a runny and stuffy nose.. where does all the snot come from? It is never ending

There are specialized cells (goblet cells) that line all of the mucous membranes of your body: nasal passages, throat, lungs, intestines, urinary tract, eyes, vagina and etc.  These cells are capable of producing and excreting copious amounts of mucus in response to infections, allergies, injuries, stimulation, and  nflammation. Most of the time this mucus you make is  your body's way of protecting and/or healing itself.  Mucus production also helps us rid ourselves of foreign invaders (bacteria, viruses, pollen, dust etc.).  In the case of a cold, plugging up the nose with mucus may help to kill the viruses by blocking the natural "air conditioning" and raising the temperature of the nasal membranes.\n\nMucus is mostly made up of water, proteins and inorganic salts.  Stuff that is readily available to your body, so it is no problem to make plenty.


What's the difference between anime, manga & hentai?

Anime\n\nJapanese Animation. Why call it anime? Japanese prounanciation for Animation is Animeshoon, so we cut it to Anime. Anime have many genres :\n-Love\n-Comedy\n-Horror\n-Action\n-Schooldays\n-Adventure\n-Fantasy\n-Ecchi (quite hentai)\n-Hentai\n-etc.\nMost Anime is from a manga.\n\nManga\n\nManga, is Japanese for comic. Manga's art is from Ukiyo-E. Manga's genre is same as anime. But now, manga is a Japanese Comics. Altough now manga is one of arts.\n\nHentai\n\nHentai means in Japanese mean Crazy Man. But in English Hentai means hardcore pervert. Now hentai's mean in English is porn. Real human Porn called hentai too. Because hentai's hometown is in Japan, so Hentai now is anime or manga porn.\nHentai's Branch :\n-Ecchi (softcore of Hentai-- the meaning is pervert)\n-Boys Love (consist Yaoi and Shonen Ai)\n-Yaoi(the story isn't too clear, it just only homosex sexual intercourse)\n-Shonen Ai (softcore of Yaoi, not too explicit)\n-Girls Love( consist Yuri and Shojo Ai)\n-Yuri(the story isn't too clear, it just only lesbian sexual intercourse)\n-Shojo Ai (softcore of Yuri, not too explicit)


Starting a new business and just want to know if anyone has any names for a headshop business.

Stay away from anything that even remotely suggests drugs, even if it's just a pun.  It's stupid, I know (everyone knows that pipe isn't for tobacco), but "The Smoking Tree" would be far more dangerous to run than "Tobacco Supplies, Inc." or something...


I don't know! The Cabin Fever library was bought by Hallmark in 1999, so those videos are out of print.\n\nOn Ebay, it seems like they're going for around $24.00


and dont say "us" because it just wont wash, according to the bible god only created humans so the existence of animal life can be seen as a contradiction to this, and if he put animals and pants on the eath to feed us why did he make large predators and beasts that we cant eat or farm or even see half the time???\n\na lot of people are saying that evolution is rubbish and we have no "real proof" as they find the evidecne hard to take and will pick a hole in anything, so i want to see the solid facts, the proof that this god fella made us and how and why we have fucked up so royally in his name.

Yes, he does exists... There is a guy in Barcelona who won the right to name himself GOD. His official name is now GOD

A just law is fair and moral. One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King is:\n“A just law is a man-made code that squares with moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with moral law…One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly and with a willingness to accept the penalty.”\n\nKeeping with that same theme, an example of a just law is that racial segregation is against the law.


I'm very worry about that I can not pass the computer examination.So that I even can not sleep well.What should I do?

Dont worry its just a Computer exam and if you cant sleep just stop thinking of your computer exam or you can take some sleeping pills.\n\n\n\nTeenagers require about 9 hours of sleep to eliminate behaviors associated with sleep deprivation, yet teenagers get approximately two hours less than they typically need. Some researchers believe that teenagers bring on the onset of chronic sleep deprivation, but others say we can't help it. Sleep experts refer to the problem as our circadian rhythm \n \n\nThe adolescent's circadian rhythm means he or she will feel awake later in the evening (through midnight) and unable to fall asleep (even if they go to bed at 9:30, they are not likely to fall asleep till after 11:00)” \n“As they enter puberty, teens experience a hormonal shift that affects their sleep patterns.” In other words, it's not us! *cheer*\nWell, try some of these tips to help you if you are a teen suffering from the "Too few Z's disorder"\n\n* Skip naps. Even though that cat nap sounds intriguing, avoid it, because it may cause you to have trouble falling asleep when you really need to. \n* Don't sleep with noise. Avoid stereos or televisions that may disrupt your sleep. \n* Be comfortable. If you're not comfortable where you're sleeping, you're more likely to awaken several times during the evening. \n* Avoid food and exercise before bed. They boost your metabolism, which prevents sleep. \n* Stay away from caffeine. Caffeine stays in your system for about 5 hours, so plan accordingly if your stomach craves a Pepsi. \n* Establish a regular sleeping schedule. This will help your biological clock. To keep it the same, don't sleep in on weekends (even though it's tempting!) \n* Don't force yourself to sleep. Your body will tell you when it's ready to hit the sack. \n* Expose yourself to bright lights for about 30 minutes upon waking. This will simulate sunshine, telling your body it's time to get up. \n* Make schedules and stick to them. Get what you have to get done without distractions and you'll find that you have some more time magically appearing in your day.


the series is so close ...one bad call after another there have been reports to the fbi that the nfl has been fixed like alot of the games...saying the mafia would pay the refs to try to fix them

ME!!!!It is B.S. the Suns now won the frickin' series. No way the Clips can come back from that heartbreak. Watch now as the Spurs get all the calls; so the series can extend. NBA is B.S. I like how the Cavs and Clippers are fighting but NBA sucks from here until I say it doesn't.


my girl really is in love with me and i can say a hundred percent is waht i give to her yeah a sweet tale u might say but our story is turning into a thriller now that she wants to leave the issue is its her dads idea and mind u i am 23 years old i really wanna marry her just that her dad tinks am a spoilt\n brat

Man, 23 is too young to get married.  If she loves you, she'd stay in relationship with you.  If you want to prove yourself to her dad, then be patient and wait until your 30 to get married.


i like this guy and he dosent know how should i tell him what i feel?

Yes, Because if you don't, you'll end up wondering what his answer and reaction could of been. \n\nSo tell him. If he doesn't feel the same, pick yourself up and tell yourself that he's missing out on something good. Don't be hard on youself. You deserve to know the answer.

Do you think Germans spend too much time looking at David Hasselhoff web sites? Why do the French find it necessary to spend 18 hours a day surfing Jerry Lewis web sites?

I can't tell if there is really a serious question in here or not, but I will answer as if there is.\n\nI think the Internet is causing more people to become anti-social in the real world and more dependent on the (nearly) instant gratification we can get in here...porn, electronics overnight, movies on demand, the list goes on.\n\nAlso, people are starting to become dependent on the "relationships" they form in here in chat rooms and dating sites and spending less time with friends and family.  \n\nBottom line is, people were designed to be social, moving creatures, experiencing new people, sites, tastes and smells. Not sat in one place for hours chatting with total strangers who we know little about.  It's rotting our minds and moderation is the key, just like anything else in life.\n\nWe're all going to hell in a hand basket and the only thing that will stop the downfall of society is if mother nature steps in and takes away the power.  Then we'd be back to hand tools and horses and we'd all know and trust our neighbors a whole lot more.\n\nI'll step off my soap box now...sorry.


we use to be THE greatest country in the known civilization of man kind. and now the world along with this country is run by bumbling ignorant beaurocratic parasites that want three things: money power and popularity. they live and feed off the lower classes. while the rich get richer the poor get poorer. i say it's BS and we need leaders that will do what they're elected to do: serve pretect and defend.

Well think of this... \n\nmost of us vote for them so they will get richer while we rot in the bottom.\n\nif anyone is ignorant, dude it's us.


Please tell me! I'm 12, and have wanted to be an actress since I was like...2! When I was little I looked like Shirley Temple, but I still didn't get a job. In little church plays, people say I'm really good at acting and I am the best singer at my church. In my choir I'm always singing solos. I was in an Honor Choir, and am getting professional acting lessons. How do I get onto Disney Channel?


Does anyone know if Southern Illinois Judges ever return a verdict of shock probation?

Shock probation provides defendants with an opportunity to receive probation after spending a short period of time in a jail or prison. The theory underlying shock probation is that immersing a defendant in the penal system for a short period of time can 'shock' him or her into a non-criminal lifestyle. Like other forms of probation, shock probation is considered a privilege rather than a right or entitlement. This means it is up to the discretion of the sentencing judge.\n\nHope this helps!


Get this, it's AK-47. Because of his full name and his jersey number, does he love guns more than basketball? If so, will he use guns in the off-season?

I don't think he likes guns, but he likes having one night stands.  In a recent ESPN the Magazine article, his hot Russian wife allows him to go sleep with any girl he wants, one time a year!  This is the same women that was like a Brittany Spears in Russia, but gave up her career for her husband, and then moved with him to Utah.  Freaking Utah!  Wow  where can I find a women like this? lol.

I am a hard core stoner and also my friends. How do I stop? I guess it is a habit and I cant help it.

Find something else to entertain your time and your mind.  Trust me on this one.  You will most likely need to stop hanging out with your current group of friends.  And I know it sounds lame but try to hang around straight people more often.  That's what helped me.  My new found entertainment was photography.  Taking the pictures and  developing the pictures myself.  Takes a long time.  Depending on what your hooked on you may want to hit a meeting or two to help cope with what's happening with you/.  About 2 months after it was worth it because I had a moment of clarity that just hit me and it was almost better than any high I have ever got.

I think most athletes would say that practicing or playing a sport is much more enjoyable because, even as in my case if my favorite team Duke Basketball wins, I will celebrate but when I train to run a mile and work for months, then if I win or even just improve my time, it means so much to me since I have invested much time and effort and have even made sacrifices.\n\nEven people who play casual basketball, baseball, volleyball, or whatever sport they like, feel satisfaction when they see progress in their game from practicing and of course they get fit to a certain extent.\n\nNow some people really love a team.  They do have a lot of fun and make friendships through their love of sports and perhaps they may have more fun than a casual player.\n\nBut there is nothing like becoming a champion and receiving the respect and applause.  Most spectators dream of being the star who they watch or of marrying them perhaps.


I mean to say that most of the developed countries give aid to these third world nation, so why not organise something like FIFA in these nation which will bring in people from all over the world and give them the oppurtunity to generate revenue, employment and other useful things.

a 7 yr old child is having severe allergic reactions taking rifampicin, is there an alternative drugs that can be used with less side effects??? side effects include high temp., nausea & vomiting, and muscle weakness...thx

erythromycin does nothing for TB... usually they give a couple drugs at a time (atleast thats what we were told in school maybe they dont in practice). isoniazid, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, streptomycin, moxifloxacin are some of the common drugs for it, not sure which are used in a 7 year old though and most of them are fairly harsh drugs. talk to his doctor about it. rifampin isnt usually tolerated very well, might just be side effects not an allergic reaction.\n\nif he starts getting bad diarreah after he gets done with all of this stuff, make sure to let his pediatrician know, sometimes people get severe bowel infections after being on strong antibiotics because it messes with the "good" bacteria in your intestines.


I met Matt Turk today, new punt kicker for St.Louis Rams delivered his new sofa. I said nice to meet you and shoke his hand is that cool , i try to be respectful of their position in society

I work at a major airport so I freqently see pro athletes who are traveling. Some of them are really cool and will talk to you nicely if you tell them you're a fan, but others are jerks. It's a mixed bag. Just be respectful of their space if you run into one out in public. Don't go interrupting their meal or their phone call just to say how big a fan you are.

How about Bible Leviticus Chapter 11 : 7-8?\n\nHmm...\n\nBelievers, eat from the good things that We have given you and give thanks to God if you worship only Him (2:172). \n\nGod has forbidden you to eat that which has not been properly slaughtered, blood, pork, and the flesh of any animal which has not been consecrated with a mention of the Name of God. However, in an emergency, without the intention of transgression or repeating transgression, one will not be considered to have committed a sin. God is All-forgiving and All-merciful. (2:173)

I am the mother of three boys and I just need to know if there are certain times to follow for the weekend visits and if you are required to have the children go through the week also.

Hello fellow Hoosier!  I am a single Mom who is also battling the ex about visitation! When I went to court in Marion County they told us we could decide on a schedule that best fit our needs.  They also offered us the chance to talk to a counselor if we had any disagreements on timing and scheduling of the children. They would help us figure out a schedule. This was all offered to us at no cost and I believe it is free in most counties.  The schedule we finally agreed on was...\n\nDad would pick up every other Friday from Daycare/school and would return home on Sunday at 5:00pm.\nDad would pick up from daycare/school on the Thursday following his weekend he had him and every Tuesday when he didn't have him that weekend.

i have a natural pitch black hair and noticed have alot of white hairs appearing fast and am worried if it is abnormal.i havent tried dying my hair nor have i yet.is there any scientific reasons or is it nature taking its course.\nis it my diet?

Different people lose pigmentation at different stages. If you pull out the white hair it will just grow back white again because there is no pigmentation left in that hair shaft. It's nothing to worry about and believe it or not, it is normal even at your age.

i have a question.  What is the difference between eating shrimp and not eating fish for a vegetarian?  Have you heard of this?  What about a vegetarian with Muslim beliefs?

here is the break down on who and what eats what as vegans, vegetarians etc.\nVegans don't eat any products of animal origin. This includes not only meat, but also dairy products (milk, butter, cheese), eggs and even honey. Many vegans do eat onion and garlic. The strictest vegans don't wear leather, wool or silk and also avoid health and beauty products made with ingredients derived from animals -- for instance, lip balm with bees wax or skin creams with lanolin (an oil extracted from sheep's wool). Although some people who choose a vegan diet do so because they are allergic or insensitive to dairy products or eggs, most choose veganism because of ethical concerns. Most vegans have a deep commitment to ending the exploitation and mistreatment of animals. The term vegan, formed from first three and last two letters of the word veg etari an , was coined in London in 1944 by seven vegetarians who founded the Vegan Society. \n\nLacto-vegetarians/ Religion vegetarians / Lactose-Vegetarians are strict vegetarians who may consume milk and dairy products (optional) . Strictly No meat, no fishes, no eggs, no onion and no garlic. Lacto comes from the Latin word for milk.\n\nOvo-vegetarians are people who still eat eggs. Ovo from the Latin word for egg.\n\nLacto-ovo-vegetarians / Ovo-Lacto-vegetarians are those who eat both dairy products and eggs. \n\nMacrobiotics A macrobiotic diet is mainly vegetarian, but macrobiotic diets often include seafood. In this diet all other meat products are excluded, as are eggs and dairy products. They also do not eat "nightshade vegetables" (potato, pepper and eggplant), refined sugar and tropical fruits. This diet contains many foods found in Asian countries such as miso soup, root vegetables (daikon and lotus) and sea vegetables (seaweed, kelp, arame). It emphasizes eating locally grown foods that are in season. Meals consist of 50% to 60% grains, 25% locally grown produce, and the rest of the diet mainly consists of beans and soups. In lesser amounts fruits, nuts and seeds are eaten. This diet is based on the Chinese principles of yin and yang. Some people follow this diet as a philosophy of life and others follow it for health reasons. \n\nFlexitarian - a vegetarian who is flexible enough to occasionally eat meat or fish.\n\nDemi-vegetarians don't eat red meat or poultry, but they do eat fish, eggs.\n\nPescetarians / Pesco-Vegetarians / Pesce-Vegetarians eat a vegetarian diet but also consume fish. Pescetarians may avoid red meat and poultry because they do not want to support factory farming or other inhumane methods of raising animals. For many people making the transition to vegetarianism, pescetarianism is a stage along the way to an entirely meatless diet.\n\nPollo-Vegetarians eat poultry, such as chicken, turkey, and duck. \n\nMeat Restrictors avoid red meat, but may eat fish and poultry. \n\nPescaterians \nVegetarian still eats fish occasionally. \n\nVegetarian Sympathizers - Folks who do eat meat, fish, and chicken --- but perhaps much less than they once did, and perhaps more carefully (they may choose organically raised meats). They lean somewhat towards a low- or no-meat way in their thinking. Frequently Sympathizers and Pesces are on the continuum towards a lacto- or vegan way of eating. \n\nPartial, occasional, casual, transitional and social vegetarians As the media releases more and more reports on the health benefits of a vegetarian diet, the number of people who are curious about vegetarianism continues to grow. Many of these people choose to reduce their meat intake instead of eliminating meat from their diet altogether. They may choose to give up just red meat, or they may only eat meat when they know it comes from small-scale producers who treat their livestock humanely. They may want to eat a stricter vegetarian diet but are temporarily prevented from doing so -- for instance, parents with non-vegetarian children who aren't ready to become vegetari

Why would anyone want a threesome? Even after you ejaculate you have to stay erect until the girl gets an orgasm. There's all the foreplay before, it usually takes me cumming 4 time before I sense an orgasm coming, and then there's the after play. Come on, does anyone actually think he's gonna give two girls an orgasm at the same time?

I dont think I would like it. Not even going to try. I like to please my lady, Thats had anough. Let alone tring to please 2 of them. Its just not my thing.

It is the flow of electrons through a medium.  Electrons will flow when it is energetically favorable for them to do so.  For instance, a battery works by creating a potential difference (voltage) between two ends of a circuit.  Electrons flow from the area of high potential to the area of low potential.\n\nConductors, such as metals, are materials in which electrons can move freely, so very little potential difference is needed to create a current.  Semiconductors have a certain threshhold voltage that must be reached before electrons will flow.  Insulators do not allow electrons to flow, or at least not without massive voltages.

I believe that the earth is one big nuclear reactor. Other wise it would have all ready cooled off by now. I also believe that the heat from the center of the earth is evil. Think about it. We never use energy from the center of the earth. All are energy that we use comes from the sun. Volcanoes erupting useally killes people ect. Energy from the center of the earth has never been use for the good of mankind. Maybe this is why hell is at the center of the earth

The earth teaches us many things.\nShe was designed by God thusly, and was brought into being just so that you could wonder that very thing.  Imagine how compressed everything is at the centre of the Earth, although I'm not sure why you think geo-thermal energy is bad.  It's the most excellent source of untapped energy in the world.  Look up how the people of Iceland heat their homes.  You'd be surprized.  Do you think Iceland is hell?  No need to go THAT far!  The earthly realm is but a veil.


one of my friends (whose name I won't mention) Always tries to compete with me. Like some girls that have big a**es, we do to, and she always stick her butt and chest out to compete with me, One time she even said, "Omg, like Your butt is the smallest like your chest, then you(friends name<-), Then me!" So I replied back, "My butts actually real, yours is just flubber," She was like yea right, so... What should I do about her, its getting really annoting HELP!!!!!!

You should stop competing with her.  That's why she does it. :)

im in a drama class can someone help me draw a magic chair please and plz proper answers dont be scarcastic plz

I would try to help you, but I am so far out of the loop, that I don't know what a magic chair is in the way you must mean. In my day, we would draw a magic chair in art class, not in drama class. The truth is I was never very good in either one of those.


if another guy who gave your girlfriend jewelery and she wore it because they are like bestfriends would you be jealous or upset?

I would be a little inside but would try not to show it. When you're dating a guy they want to be the most special relationship to you. Hell I would get jealous if my girfriend wore a ring a female friend got her instead of the one I did. Jewelry is kinda seen by guys as a gift of romantic intrest because it's expensive and it serves no practical purpose other than looking nice. If a guy is buying you jewelry I would see it as him caring for you as more than friends. Not that that's necessarily the case but that's just how guys look at it.

I assume that the light enters water through the glass since incidence is less than refracted angle also assuming refrative index of glass as 1.66 and water as 1.33\n\nWhat is the question then ? Also how can light return to where it originates ? That is dependent on the setup.

Why is it so popular? What gratification is involoved. What harm?

I do not.\n\nInteracting with "people" on the web is strangely compelling to most of us. We are usually at work or in a room, basically alone, at home or a cafe. We look at a screen and type.....read a response.....and perceive a relationship developing. It may be a banking relationship or an instructional relationship, a buying /selling/ questioning/ answering relationship. We may have cyber-friends and/or cyber-enemies. Our perception is one of a group (or couple) engagement of ideas and dialog.\n\nWeb-sites are commonly filled with declarative statements, rhetorical questions and "sticky" links and crude Q&A response threads. When you plug yourself into a more "human" question and answer session with a "live" human individual you begin to feel like the screen and keyboard in front of you "comes alive".....almost like a telephone call. With the advent of one and two-way video feeds the web has finally created the "ambiance"  of a real meeting of two or more people. You may still be alone in a room but your mind begins to "lean" towards believeng you are sharing a "moment" with another person.\n\nAs mentioned.....buying a car or doing your banking  or getting/giving advice to a client or a friend is made easier and more convenient by using this technology. However, it will never replace intimacy. And many types of relationships require a truly intimate experience.....not only a sexual relationship.....but a truly healing relationship requires intimacy. Compassion requires intimacy. Reassurance requires intimacy. Real friendship requires intimacy. The web will never be able to replace holding someone's hand in a time of need or a time of reassurance or a time of congratulations.\n\nBut we short-cut that true intimacy and many times settle for something APPROXIMATING intimacy with our love-life. We all have FLIRTED on the internet at some time. It's fun and basically harmless. I love to try to answer questins and imponderables while bettering my typing skills and self-editing abilities. We all do something that is fun while using the web to be our buddy/tutor/ soapbox/journal or scrapbook.\n\nSex..........as we have allowed ourselves to view/experience it.....has become a daily cat-and-mouse game for many pepole. Some of us have forgotten what makes sex so wonderful and ALIVE so we become so jaded and "mechanical" that we surrender the most intimate part of ourselves to be corrupted by a typed word and/or a pretty picture.\n\nThe Defence Department created the internet.......the sex industry and the people who pay into it have FUNDED 90% of its growth and develpopement costs!!!!!\n\nLet's enjoy the fruits of what pornography has built (this cyber-infrastructure).... but let's also resist becoming a slave/zombie to it. The REAL people in your life are an arm's length away. \n\nTOUCH THEM.

I am applying for an engineering job, and they want to check my driving record.  If they see it, I hope they dont care, but I hope they can't see it.

i doubt 1 DUI from that long ago will prevent you from getting the job. employers look for patterns and if that is your only one then you are probably safe. my ex bf got his engeneers lisense and a job with about 5 convictions showing for theft and all kinds of stuff. then again he can sell an ice box to an eskimo, so that may have helped in his favor. however if you have an engeneers certification then any future DUI's can get it revoked and you'll be up s*** creek. so quit drinking and driving.\n\nbtw you should be able to go down to the DMV or state police and have them run a check to see if it is showing on your current lisense. they'll probably charge you about $10, but at least you'll know either way.


Hello.\ni am 5 feet 2\nand i weight 135 pounds\nam i over weight?

The material starts as "half-hard" brass, is chemically etched, and the resulting parts are very small, often under .25" square, and .008" to .016" thick. The goal is to make make it spring temper.

If the brass is 'half-hard', you would need to make a cold-reduction by running the parts through a set of rollers.  You can feed the part (with a set of tweezers) through the rollers.\n\nUnfortunately, the rollers will squeeze the part vertically (thickness), but also horizontally.  This will distort the part.  \n\nA better solution is to purchase "spring temper" brass and do the chemical etching on the spring temper material; that way, no cold reduction is needed.\n\nA 60.5% reduction from the annealed state will get you a spring temper on 70%Cu30%Zn alloy; this means you'll need approximately another 40% reduction to get to spring temper.

I am looking at homeschooling my special need 10 yr old and I don't know where to start or what to do about his IEP

If you are homeschooling, you are refusing all services from the public schools...not just classroom services but also any therapies he may have been receiving. Therefore his IEP is of no value, except you should hang onto it so that, if you decide to return him to the public schools, you have a contract already in place for the specialized instruction and services.\n\nDo your research on effective instruction for Learning Disabled children.  Go to LD Online, the International Dyslexia Association, etc. and review their information.  You cannot just "tell" him like you would a "normal" learner and expect him to understand, remember, or make progress in his areas of difficulty.


I wanted to stream a tv show episode so i could watch it nd my friend on another computer at their house could watch it too. Is this possible nd if so how? with wat program?


A.search and seizure of the person.\nB. aerial inspection\nC.search and seizure of paper and records.\nD.guarantee against self-incrimination.\nPlease explain so I can learn. Thank You.

It might be D.  That's part of the 5th Amendment.  The others are laws but they're laws that were passed by Congress, not really things that are written directly in the Constitution.\n\nIt's also possible that it's A.  You could argue that this is more "significant" with the search and seizure.  You need probable cause but people can make up all sorts of causes.  It's tough to tell.

Taoism is the ying and yang: You're response would be - Don't you agree we have to have black and white, good and evil, sun and moon? So isn't Taoism (with out ritual - of human pollution)not a religion? It is philosphy and thought only?!?! Don't you agree? So this question and your answer are Tao: Action/Reaction! The Tao of Pooh a Must Read!

All religions teach some truths.  I agree that Taoism as a philosophy teaches much wonderful wisdom and truth.  I also do not discount religious Taoism though.  It is effective for many people in living their lives.  Its rituals can be effective for furthering one along the path of the ultimate realization of truth, compassion, and peace and harmony with nature and all beings.


In the French Revoluction, the Directory took over from 1795-1799 before Napoleon and the Coup d'eat Brumaire.  Why did the french people not like the directory?  I know some stuff, like the high taxes, conscription and anti-catholicism but why did they become so bankrupt to get the high taxes?

Louis XVI was a "good" king, he had no "carism", he was  just a good Handyman. But he ruined france, more than france was already when he decided to help the "future United-stated" against the biggest french enemy, the british. At that time, french had got a big part of the present territory of USA, high from Louisiana(in homage of Louis XIV) to Quebec. all the valley of the Mississippi was french's territory. U must Know cities like "Baton Rouge", "New Orleans/La Nouvelle Orléans" in French or "Louisville, Mississippi", "Nashville","Cape Girardeau","st louis" or "DES MOINES", or THE "Maine" like the "Maine-et-loire" in France, Montpelier, vermont etc... You understand why french didn't wanna see british next to their colony. after the independance day of the USA france was totaly bankrupted and began one of the more dangerous country until the French revolution and the government couldn't do anything with "impotent king" who started to lose his head...


I met this guy a couple years ago at a party, he was with his girlfriend at the time and I was with my boyfriend at the time. I ran into him recently and we seemed to really hit it off. We are both single now. We spent the night sleeping in the same bed(cuddling only). The next morning things were awkward. I have not seen him since. We have talked on the phone briefly a couple times since. I heard from a friend of his that he likes me but is freaked at the fact that he knows my ex. (he is friends  with my ex's friends)He was so sweet that night (playing with my hair and warming my feet with his)I caught my ex cheating on me(we dated for a few years)thats why we are apart. I really like this other guy, I'm just confused as to what he is thinking??

Okay so i can understand that he's freaked by the fact he knows your ex. But if he really likes you then he's gotta get over it!! I for one say never wait for the other person to make the move. You like him. Talk to him. Tell him how you feel.\n\nAnd since you caught your ex cheating on you then well, the other guy shouldn't really care what your ex thinks.

I could understand forsaking all other lovers, but why would you forsake your children, close friends, parents, and siblings for your spouse? Would you really marry someone if that was the cost? \n\nWouldn't you end up resenting your spouse if it cost your relationship with everyone else?

In my experience, they aren't worth it.  My children mean more to me than anybody in the world and they come first.  My selfish self centered husband can wait like he makes only us do.

I don't want to harm the tree so which is better a rope or chain? I'm really at loss on where to begin, to make it properly. I want this to be a fun mother and son project.

rope is better, for both the tree and your son. Use a sturdy rope that will last through weather. Tie something heavy that can be thrown to one end of the rope and toss it over the branch that you want to use. Once you've got it over the branch tie it around the tire. Enjoy.

-- I don't know. When do you become conscious of a thing? Only when the thought comes in between what is there in front of you and what is supposed to be there inside of you. That is consciousness. So, you have to necessarily use thought to become conscious of the things around you, or the persons around you. Otherwise, you are not conscious of the things at all. And, at the same time, you are not unconscious. But there is an area where you are neither conscious nor unconscious. But that 'consciousness'-- if I may use that word -- expresses itself in its own way; and what prevents that consciousness to express itself in its own way is the movement of thought. \nWhat can anyone do about this thought? It has a tremendous momentum of millions and millions of years. Can I do anything about that thought? Can I stop it? Can I mold it? Can I shape it? Can I do anything about it? NO.

I believe that you have a mental confusion.  I do not require thoughts in order to perceive.  Also thoughts can be controlled through discipline of the mind.  This has been recorded for several centuries.\n\nThe human mind is a tool.  Thoughts are the results of using this tool.  If the tool is not required, then the mind can be shut off.  Just because you may not be able to do this does not make this a Universal condition.\n\nYes, you can control thoughts.  Yes, with training or discipline, you can stop it, mold it, shape it or do anything with it.

I'm a little bit sick of cooking for myself :) I'm on holidays and would like to just once be able to go out to a restaurant with my partner and order something I know won't make me sick (that isn't plain boiled rice). Any ideas?

1. as far as your gall bladder problem, several studies have shown that fatty meals may not play as much of a role in the colicky type of pain associated with either stones or a malfunctioning gall bladder, however all the patients I treat and including myself who has what is called "cholelithiasis" find that certain meals will set off an attack. It is probably a good idea when you eat to have several small meals per day rather than the traditional three meals. Smaller portions throughout the day may help with your gall bladder pains.\n2. Now for your diagnosis of IBS. This is usually a diagnosis of exclusion which means you must rule out other more ominous causes, ie. Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis both can be detected with a colonoscopy. Additionally, you should be tested for what is called "gluten sensitivity" and "celiac sprue". There are blood tests that can shed light on these disorders such as a test called "gliadin antibodies". Your GI doctor may also want to take some biopsies of your colon during the colonscopy so a Pathologist can microscopically determine what type if any inflammation is going on and what the mucosal lining of the intestine looks like. Flattening of the mucosa may be indicative of some of the diseases I mentioned previously. \n3. When you go out to eat, the problem is that if you are allergic to peanuts, many times they will cook with peanut oil and there may even be remnants of peanuts or the oil in preparing your food. This can be very dangerous. I had a patient several years ago who was allergic to peanuts and ate out at McDonalds I believe and there were trace amounts of peanuts or peanut oil which threw him into anaphylactic shock; thank goodness he survived. So you have to be very very careful and let the restaurant know that you are allergic to peanuts, oils, or any by product of peanuts. \nI hope this helps you. You should speak to a Gastroenterologist and have a colonoscopy and some blood work to check for the antibodies. Gluten sensitivity usually goes hand in hand with wheat allergies. There are newer medications that will help with irritable bowel syndrome. Zelnorm is the one that comes to mind. For some reason when it first came to market it was only for women, I assume because most cases of IBS are in females, but more recent studies show that it can be effective in relieving the symptoms of IBS in men too.\nRegards,\nWarren Shaffer, M.D.

one of my best friends is being picked on by a person i used to call a friend, but she thinks we are still friends. shes realy mean to my group of friends, and we dont know what to do. there have been a few times that we have wanted to ditch her, but we chickened out. what do we do? HELP!!!!

You should give her the opportunity to know how you feel and what is going to happen if she doesn't change the way she is behaving.  She is probably in actuality a very insecure girl that feels that she needs to put others down.  Tell her that a friend doesn't act that way, and that just as you would for her, you are defending your friends and their feelings...that is what friends do.

Some think black, others think desert, others think elephants... what do you think when you hear the word AFRICA?

I think of Africa as a place - the continent that contains a diversity of terrains, countries, peoples, and cultures. It is home to those things you mentioned - the African racial group, the Sahara and Namibian deserts, African elephants, but it is also home of Egypt, with its ancient history, and Nigeria, with its rapid growth partially fueled by oil reserves, and Rwanda, a site of tribal genocide. It is the home of dwindling numbers of gorillas and chimpanzees, and Charlize Theron and Desmond Tutu, of the Darfur region of Sudan. Many countries are impoverished, especially the landlocked ones or ones that have suffered from the lack of economic development or borders carved out by European colonial interests that may make little sense today. While there is poverty and AIDS in many places, there is also some progress toward sustainable development and gender equality.

Yes this is very normal. It happens to me all the time...you have a break up and you cry or are sad for a couple days but soon you realize there are more people out there and if they really loved you they would come back.

Melinda found out that the man with the hat did not want the other ghosts to cross over.  He was doing everything in his power to make the ghosts stay on earth (which Melinda didn't like).  The man with the hat told Melinda that he would set free the ghosts who died from the crash in exchange for her life (because she was "the one").  But Melinda continued to do her work and convinced majority of the ghosts to follow the light and cross over.  Some, however, chose to follow the man with the hat and so these ghosts remained on earth.\n\nAndrea's brother, fortunately, did not take the flight and was spared from the crash.  However, Andrea herself was among those who died when the plane crashed over the town.  Andrea's car got hit by the plane when it was going down.  When Melinda finally told Andrea about this, Andrea was in tears and could not seem to accept it.  Then, the man with the hat was suddenly walking behind Andrea -- as if making an attempt to steal her away from Melinda, so that Andrea would not cross over.  That was the end of the episode.

Hi,\n\nI have bacterial vaginosis as well as a yeast infection. Dr gave me Flagil (sp) or also called Meszop something...i took it 7 days and a one day for the yeast after..it's not gone !!\n\nAre there different sources for BV, and why didn't it take it away, i still have it...\n\nThanks !!

bacterial vaginosis is an infection created by a bacteria and a yeast infection is a fungal infection, a way to combat yeast infections while on antibiotics is to eat lots of yogart and take probiotics.  \nTo clear your BV you cannot have any sexual activity while on the antibiotics and your partner should be checked and treated as well.


I broke my nose when i was 7 and i'm now 14, i never knew my nose was actually broken but i found out recently that it is. It's affecting my self-confidence and affects my breathing.\nI've been offered a nose job on the NHS but they recommend that i wait til I'm 18, i don't want to wait because i've stopped growing now so it shouldn't make a difference.\nAny advice or opinions?

babydoll, they want you wait untill your 18 when you stop growing so it want affect your surgery, think about it for a sec, i know how bad you want it, but if they do it now, that new cute little nose could change because your still growing, see what i mean, and you dont want to go through all that again, good things come to those who wait, Time flys pretty quick these days, it will here the before you know it. I'm sure your a beautiful girl....


hello everybody! I would like to know if incense aggravates someone with allergies to grass, trees, etc., and I'm not sure where I'm supposed to post it, so here it is (read above).  Any clues?

Obviously any criminal convictions will come up, but what else is researched and revealed in a police background search.  Do they look into your home life?  Employment history? Bank Accounts?  What sort of thing gets researched?\n\nThe reason for asking this is that I have a friend who is applying for a job, which requires a CRB check and a Police Background Check, and he is worried that this will reveal the big gaping gaps in his employment history, which will surely prevent him from getting the job he is going after.  He is desperate for work and wants to know if he should risk falsifying his references and go for the job.\n\nI have told him that this is going to backfire horribly, but he won’t listen.  So if anyone could tell me whether employment history gets checked under a background search it would be appreciated, as I am really concerned that he will be found out.\n\nSerious answers only please, preferably from people involved in UK Law enforcement.  Although any serious answer

In the UK, background checks include what you have mentioned - Criminal records, Employment records, Tax returns, also checks with DSS and Local police Day book (reports/complaints by members of the community).\nThey cannot check Bank transactions without a court order.\nThey cannot check your home life.\n\nYou are right in telling him not falsify his employment status, it's too easily checked, either via DSS, or if not, the question then asked is "How did you live without money?" - these can lead to even more questions.\n\nGaping gaps in employment need not work against him, depending on what he was doing during those times.\n\nRemember - people are naturally trusting so will only start 'deep' questions if given a reason to.

In Judgement, what would you say to God in order to escape from the eternal blazing flames of Hell?\n\nWhat excuse would you reason with to convince God that you should enter heaven?\n\nPlease search your heart for the truthful answer.\n(Please don't be rude.Prove that "atheists" can be nice people as well in your answers.)

Atheist here (agnostic if considered deism and other non interventionist beings)\n\nI don't know why people answer whats' not being asked, if you don't feel like playing, why answer with something else?\n\nWell, if we are talking about the christian god, according to the belief, he already knows what's on my heart.\n\nAnyway, I am atheist because I am being honest with me and everyone around me. To say "I believe in god" would be a lie and I'd be an hypocrite.\n\nIf I have to give explanations to god, all I'd tell is "I honestly didn't believe you existed and I made a mistake", no further explanations needed. I'm sure that I live a moral life and I wouldn't feel like "excusing" me as if I've done something wrong.\n\nBye\n\nEDIT:\nI just saw what you proposed in another question: "People want to ease their conscience of sin by convincing themselves that there is no God."\n\nThat's a false assumption since I doubt you know what are everyone's motivations to do so. Does your religion allow you to judge people without proper knowledge?


I recently accepted a job offer from another company, but my current company came back and couter the offer. How can I tell the new company that I have to reject their offer after i accepted it. And are there any legal issues involved if i reject the offer after accepting it?

***** BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL. I WOULD NOT SAY ANYTHING TO THE 1ST COMPANY YET, SINCE YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER YOU'RE LEAVING. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE ACCEPTED THEIR COUNTER. Why?? I'll tell you:\nTop 10 Reasons Not to Accept a Counter Offer:\n\n1. After resigning, you have made your employer aware that you were looking and unhappy. Your loyalty will now be in question\n\n2. When promotion/raise time comes around, your employer will remember who is loyal and who is not.\n\n3. When making difficult decisions about cut-backs, the company may begin with those that are deemed less loyal.\n\n4. Accepting a Counter-Offer is an insult to your intelligence and a blow to your personal pride, to simply be bought at the last minute.\n\n5. Where was the extra money for a counter-offer at during your last performance review? Most companies have strict wage/salary guidelines and may be simply giving your next raise early or buying time to hire someone in your place.\n\n6. The same circumstances that now cause you to consider making a change almost always reoccur within the next 6-12 months.\n\n7. Statistics show that if you accept a counter-offer, the probability of voluntarily leaving in 6 months or being let go within 1 year are extremely high.\n\n8. Once the word gets out, the relationship you now enjoy with co-workers will never be the same. You lose personal satisfaction of the peer group acceptance.\n\n9. What type of company do you want to work for if you have to threaten to resign before they give you what you are worth?\n\n10. Accepting counter-offers after already accepting another position burns bridges with other companies, your recruiter, and ultimately shows all 3 parties that you can be bought.\n\nAside from these reasons (ESPECIALLY #10), counter-offers create bad situations to begin with. Think about it this way: your employer might only be offering a counter after they have figured out that they don't want to pay to replace you. That's right. Attrition costs employers money. They would rather keep you there, then fire you/find a reason to "lay" you off when they get good and ready, rather than shell out bucks because they lost you.\n\nI would not do it. Go with the new company. Remember why you were looking in the first place. There was something you didn't like about the current employer. Plus, since you've pretty much taken the new offer of employment, it's kind of unethical to tell them, "well...changed my mind!" at this point. It cost them money to recruit you, too!


we've all seen the ads all over tv and the web, but does anyone know if they really work? what does it take to get it? is it worth the effort? where do you start? what can you use the money for? i just want to buy a house.

well you might be able to get nice loans, But I don't think there is free money, unless you count wellfare and unemployment and stuff like that.\n\nWhatever you do, don't buy those stupid books that that hippie with the question marks all over his suit sells on T.V. There are other ways to find out about the opportunities.


I personally enjoy hearing other languages.\n\nIt seems many people have their panties in bunch over other languages being spoken in the US. For those people, do you always speak the native language whenever you travel to another country?

I tried to speak German while living abroad, but I was with many americans and we'd only speak German when we were drunk and in class.  I was lucky - I could speak it more than most.

You are experiencing pressure which should be relieved, usually through surgery.  Your doctor must find the most effective area so you will get immediate relief and long term relief.  The underlying cause must also be found so that this won't happen again.  As for what you can do now, you might try applying cold packs to your neck and cool cloths to your forehead,.  They might help alleviate the pressure.  Other than that, follow your doctor's advice.  Good luck, I'll say a prayer for your complete recovery.

Teach each other a thing or two. If nothing else maybe I can show you a side of yourself you never knew existed, maybe your not as shy as you think and can still respect women. Contrary to popular belief that is a big turn on (shyness and respect), and there is a very specific reason why men have to make the first move for things to work out with a man and woman in that regard. Maybe you'll want to ask me why some time...

This is from the Devil's Advocate, said by Al Pacino to Keanu Reeves at the end of the movie.


First I tried to dowload IE6 but MS web site said I had most current version. I was using Yaho Mail Beta before. I switched back to check a problem to see if it was caused by the new Beta Software. When I tried to switch back to Yahoo Mail Beta this problem began. I'm sent to a page that says I must have a more current version of browser. I've since downloaded IE 7 (MS sends you to IE 7 to download instead of 6) and I've downloaded Netscapes most current and Mozilloa's most current ver. I haven't been able to find anywhere on Yahoo Help that has answers for me. I hope someone can help me with this.

Who thought this up and are they a bit MAD?

Most of our letter recognition comes from letter shapes, especially from the ascenders and descenders. Capitals have less shape and have uniform size. They do not have ascenders (like the tops of the d) or descenders (like the curly part of the g). This makes them very hard to read.\n\nMaking your words hard to read is considered rude. It is the same as some people putting their email on rainbow colored backgrounds in my not so humble opinion.


My opinion is Cy Young's Record of wins for a pitcher.

Cy Young winning 511 games. NO ONE WILL COME WITHIN 100 games of that with all the rest pitchers get nowadays. Cy pitched every 3rd day and pitchers only pitch every 5 days and Young pitched 22 seasons which no one does anymore.


I know this is a generalization. Keep your answers clean, guys.

Communication, noticing aesthetic beauty, organization, eloquence, empathy, sympathy, dealing with illness or pain and multitasking - although this certainly doesn't apply to all women or all men.  Each is an individual with their own strengths and weaknesses.

I need a topic for my haiku, this is for the school project, and  please be kind and show me a sample\n\nthank you so much

Haiku is a sensitive portrayal of emotion by understatement. It deals with a time and season of the year, usually one of nature. The outward form looks like \n5 syllables\n7 syllables\n5 syllables\n\nThat is not quite correct since Japanese does not have syllables exactly like English.\n\nAn American song, Moonlight in Vermont, actually is written mostly in Haiku. Look at this verse:\n\nPennies in a stream:\nTrembling leaves of sycamore.\nAutumn in Vermont.\n\nThis one I wrote might be too "telly" that is it tells too much. At least I wrote it:\n\nLife's fleeting moment.\nLook: a snowman in the rain!\nThoughts too deep for night.\n\nSee the time of day (night), time of year (almost spring), emotion (perhaps a little regret.)
