you need windows media encoder. Go to microsoft site and search and dwnload it and then read how ot sue it.\nYou can start a live brodcast, save this to a file and at the same time send out the broadcast to others. All you need to do this is have the encoder live on the net and point people to it (for the live stream.) if you want to record the live event and also have it available, say for those who want to view it 5 mins after the start time but start watching from the beginning, you are going to need a stremaing media server that can use the archived file for broadcasting. The configuration of th basic encoder for what you want is relatively simple. The stramnig media server is a little more complex, but still nothing you need to buy books for, that is if u read the documentation that comes with it. A little tip:Buffering on the encoder/server side is going to be your best friend.\nUpon re-reading your question, it sounds liek you need a streaming media server. THis can be programmed for times when when certain clips are available. oyu need ot make publising points for the times u want and then set the times it will be available. note that if a person wants to watch a 30 min broadcast that is available from 8:pm to 8:30 adn they start it at 8:25-it will play til lthe end but if they stop it and restart it then it will play the new clip that is set to play at 8:30 (if you have the server set up to play something else at 8:30). This can be done but times are absolute adn not really a good way to make streaming media available to your viewers. Best thing to do is tell viweres its availabe lfrom 8 to 8:30 and set the tiem out for 9. this way if someone views it right at 8:30 they can see the entire 30 mins even if they stop it.


Get one of those usb tv reception devices.  They tend to allow composite video also.  Then you can hook the PS2 into the video/audio in and play away.


There's 10 real good ones listed at the link below.


Nicole Kidman Vs Charlize Theron Vs Cameroon Diaz\nPlayboy Vs Microsoft\nEminem Vs Michael Jackson\nKing Kong Vs Godzilla\nPamella Anderson Vs Jennifer Aniston\n\nAny suggestions?

1 - Charlize theron - she's a tough cookie\n2 - microsoft, bill gates would make a virus to puton playboy's computers to delete their issues or something\n3 - eminem, hands down, michael jackson would run away to an island and hide - oh wait that all ready happened\n4 - Godzilla - he'd bite king kong before anything and then it'd be over\n5 - probably Pamela Anderson, she's got claws and breasts so she would bounce right back up if pushed down


It the one where Ben (Brendan Fraser) comes back from his travels after learning about his leukemia and the end of the show is his funeral with this song playing in the background. (Best episode of Scrubs ever, BTW).

Winter, by Josh Radin\n\nIt is a very good episode, and is definately one of my favorites.


What is the most creative thing that you have ever done/heard of someone doing?\n\nI need something feasible. After all, I am only 17, with a very small budget. I need something that isn't destructive, after all, this is friendly payback!\n\nThanks in advance you guys!

Don't forget the old banana in the tailpipe from Beverly Hills Cop. I also like the pizza idea, although 10 pizzas would probably tip off the restaurant it was a prank and they will call to double check ... instead pick just a couple of pizzas but have them ordered with every ingredient that the person doesn't like (anyone for anchoives and pineapple?)


B/c i have to take a big test on it and i have tons and tons of questions. Its a difficult book to understand.

Try cliff notes \nhttp://www.cliffsnotes.com/WileyCDA/LitNote/id-12.html\nI read the book myself.  It symbolizes the Russian revolution.  The pigs claim they have the best plan for  freeing the animals from humans but in the end the pigs turn into humans themselves.  Good luck on your test.


He would be in county jail in north Carolina\nLeo E Wachter.

Can't help with that state, but there is a wonderful support and information group at http://prisontalk.com\nand someone in the N.C. forum can probably help.\nI've got a "someone special" locked up, too, and this group has helped me a great deal.


I am at present in Canada. I have a deep tooth decay and  soon I might have to undergo a root canal treatment. My question is weather the insurance cover partly or full the treatment cost or not. In case it does, then please specify how much. Thanks in advance

How can I get around blocked websites on my school's comp. They use sonic firewall.

I'm sure there's a good reason they block certain sites. But if you have to, look for open Proxy Servers / sites that will allow you to browse anonymously.

I WAS RECENTLY IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE PERSON THAT HIT ME OFFERED ME $2,500 AND DECLARED MY CAR A TOTAL LOSS. SO I SIGNED THE SETTLEMENT PAPERS AND FAXED IT TO THEM ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AGO. THIS MORNING I RECIEVE A LETTER STATING THAT IT WAS A MISTAKE AND THAT THEY ARE ONLY OFFERING ME $250. CAN THEY DO THAT OR IS THAT ILLEGAL IM NOT SURE PLEASE HELP ME OUT. :)

You probably can succeed in seeking $2,500.  First, if a clerical mistake was made, most courts would allow rescision of the contract.  If the contract specifically added the comma to the total, though, or if the figure were written out in long-form, or written in multiple locations, proof of a clerical error will be difficult.\n\nAnother condition that the insurance company could escape would be mutual mistake.  You agreed, however, because the amount was $2,500 and had not mistake or belief about a different amount.\n\nFinally, the insurance company could try to get out under unilateral mistake, but that's a very difficult theory.  They don't "bear the risk of the mistake" in a legal sense.  In most jurisdictions, however, they'd have to prove that the contract would be "unconscionable" if enforced, or that you "had reason to know of the mistake."  Neither applies - a $2,250 for an insurance company is not "unconscionable," and you had no reason to know the mistake.\n\nYou have a strong case, and you should insist that the amount was for $2,500.  You should demand the contracted amount.  For further legal tangles if they disagree, you may need additional assistance, but you should stand your ground.


i know it sounds stuped, but help!!! im sooo bored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

get a nice book, listen to some nice music and feel time flying.


It the L'Oreal Group. Visit the investor relations section on their website: http://www.loreal.com/_en/_ww/index.aspx


i need the title of the book, the quotation found in it and the author of the book.

If I want a quote, I usually go into a search engine and type (for example)\n\nH.G. Wells, Time Machine, quotes\n\nOr...if you know the quote, but nothing else. Put the quote in the search. Trust me. You'll find what you need.\n\nIt's almost as if it works like magic.

We went to Iraq to find weapons of mass destruction,we didn't find them but we found the oil.We should have attacked N.Korea instead because they have missiles that can hit the west coast.I think attacking N.Korea would have been a nobler cause,but I still support our mission in Iraq.

The short answer to your question is yes.\n\nWhat would the world be like today if Neville Chamberlain had the courage to stand up to Hitler in 1938 instead of becoming one of histories weakest Prime Ministers of a 'major power'?\n\nWhat would the world be like today if we were able to prevent the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor?\n\nThe NYTimes even admits that we have found 'some' WMDs in Iraq.  Remember, we haven't started to search Syria yet and we havent searched in Iran.  Does anyone remember what Saddam did on the first day of Gulf War #1?  He sent his air force to Iran.\n\nIf NutBall Jr. in North Korea gets missile technology in place that could reach San Francisco and he SAYS that (which he would), then we would be well within our rights as a sovereign nation to destroy that missile battery.\n\nWas Israel within their rights to destroy the nuclear plant in Iran 25 years ago?  Is Israel within their rights to attack the terrorists that are intent on their death and destruction?


i would like to ask if ur blood pressure is low but you have high pulse rate is it normal?

In certain conditions yes this is normal.  The big question is "How do you (the patient) feel?"  Some people need a low BP and some people have a heart so poor that it is unable to produce a high BP.  When the BP decreases the heart rate may elevate as a compensatory mechanism to help supply the body with blood. In this circumstance low BP high HR is entirely normal. However, if your BP is so low that you are getting dizzy , feel terrible, tired lethargic you may need further medical advice


I like to use ATi cards on Intel motherboards and nVidia cards on AMD motherboards.  Do you have a preference?\n\nRight now I'm using an AGP Radeon X800XL with 256MB on my P4 3.0GHz system with 2GB of memory.

I used to prefer nVidia with AMD, but honestly I don't think it matters all that much (the differences are negligible). As a company, I prefer nVidia over ATI, but in my opinion nVidia is struggling a bit with their video cards at the moment. I truly hope they grow out of that. I used to run a GForce 4800 on my nvidia nForce2 motherboard, but I switched to an ATI X800 and haven't had any problems with it on that motherboard.


i am interested in opening a rescue for the wild mustangs roaming america.  i would like to have the resources to take in herds instead of seperating the horses from their family.  if there is any funding avaliable to help an individual concerned about the welfare of our wild horses i will follow it to the end to help save these magnificant animals.

There is some funding for horse/animal rescues, however, the size they have to be to get the funding does not allow someone with meager land and money to recieve the funding.  If you want to operate a horse rescue and do not have lots of land and money to begin with, you must rely on private donations.\n\n  Good luck!!!  Even if you can only help a couple of horses in need, you are a hero in my book!


Are we getting lost in all these gadgets that we think we can't live without? In all this information that is simply too much to take in at once? Forgetting that there is sunshine outside, and things to do away from all these things?

List your favourites, lets put it to the vote.

Well let me tell you I am a Plainist I like good ol White American cheese but my girl friend swears its the best cheese in the whole wide world is..Frumunda cheese. I have never tried it. but my girl friend cant get enough of it she gobbles it down, I guess it must be good the look on her face after she gobbles some Frumunda Cheese, indescribable. I think there are some guys in my high school who like Frumunda aslo, hey everyone has different tastes. Try some I bet you will love it. Its best like a fondu hot and gooey


November 19, 2005 was the day that me and John got together.

I first met my wife on the internet. And she is from another country too!\nI didn't really know if I loved her till I met her in real life (after about 3 months of chatting on the net and some phonecalls). I still didn't think we had a future together, but she really wanted to go on, and I was willing to. And.. here we are now :)\n\nMy advice is to try to get to know him more, find out his concepts and values, and pray about it. If you feel peaceful, try meeting him. Be careful, but not paranoid.\n\nGood luck :)


If you want to be able to use all of the features of the software, go with a Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme pro card.  It is probably the best recommended by Adobe (who makes the Premiere Pro software).  Bluefish444 also has several good cards which will work fine.  Check out the site below:


I heard that this actually occurred.\nBut perhaps its an myth.

we want to mail a cd we made with our business magnets in a mailer.  will this affect the cd?

nah.  CDs are optical media - the shiny part of a CD is a thin piece of metal foil sandwiched between two pieces of plastic.  there are patterns of tiny holes in the foil that make up the tracks of the CD.  a magnet won't disturb them at all, unless it's such an incredibly strong magnet such that the CD itself were crushed or something.


Not just Halo, but seriously spends a long time pwning everyhing that moves in LAN battles?


i am a doctor of medicine from iran,i have passed my educations in iran ,now i want to continue studing in another country,which is the best for me to live & work.

You may have to pass medical entrance exams to that country first\n\nYou may have to work in non plastics jobs first\n\nWhat aspect of plastics do you want to specialise in?\n\nWhat languages can you speak?\n\nMajority of plastic surery is performed in North and South America so possibly there will be more opportunity and possibly less competition there.


Please instruct me on the correct way to log on and be able to get the messages.  the only way i get messages is if someone messages me while i am online.

If you are talking about the Voice mail messages look for the pic of the tape at the bottom of yahoo messenger and click on it then click on Voice Messages, then it should let you chose the message and play it, if you are talking about email then click on the pic of the letter and it will let you login to yahoo mail.


there was a man in my life. we split up because he had to move. but he didnt tell me that he was moving his cosin did . he called one time before i moved to months ago, but i wasnt there.i loved him so much and i know he loved me. shoud i foeget about him. or try to find my true love?

If he didn't even tell you he was moving he's not worth your time.  being hurt is hard, but you need to move on.  Good luck.


I am a college sophomore and will be transferring to another school next fall. For all of you transfer students, how hard was it for you to fit in at your new school? What were some of the obstacles you had to overcome? Did you make friends right away or not? Do you still keep in touch with your old friends at your old school? In-depth answers are welcome.

first week, throw a party. best way to make your mark. if you not party type, join all organizations you have time for. anything that sparks your interest. if your friends from old school are dear to you, you should put forth effort for the next couple years to kit. k?


Was there one person, or did it just happen organically? And furthermore (an opinion on your part) do you think there should be countries?

It was COUNTROS - Lord of imaginary borders!!!   Actually, countries arose naturally out of the territorial nature of mankind. Individual caves belonged to individual cavemen, separate hills and plains belonged to separate groups of men and women, separate kingdoms controlled separate regions, and so on... Nothing was ever established to begin it all, it was simply accepted because everyone throughout our history divided the lands more and more.   I think that countries should exist, to break governing responsibilities down further than one man to rule all, but countries should never rival each other. Additionally, different countries have generated different civilizations, and with them different values, lifestyles, artforms, and countless different ways to view life itself.


Mastrubating good or bad.. Does it affect your health in anyway ? especially when you do not mastrubate by hand..

Mast urbation is important for healthy human development.  Not only is it good for you physically and mentally, but it helps you learn your body in a way you can't do otherwise.\n\nWhen you have sex with a partner, the only way you're going to be able to communicate what you like is from the experience you've had with yourself.\n\nThe ONLY negative thing that can come from mast urbation is the stigma that some people seem to have against it.  Just keep in mind that it's healthy, educational, fun and absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.


I already back them up but I when I play them they freeze in the middle of the movie so it doesn't really work I heard other people have succes in this area and I thought it was the labels I was using so I stopped using them can someone recomend what to do?

First at all remembert that it is illegal in the US and in some other countries to "backup" the dvds.\n\nThere is a program call dvd decrypter that you can use to copy the DVD to your PC cracking the protection on them. You can not just copy the dvd to your pc. It is just simple as push a button.\n\nHowever most DVD are 7.2Gb and DVD-R generally are 4.5 Gb, so there is a program dvd-shrink that can be use to reduce to the desired size of the dvd. Here you can decide which part reduce most, you would prefer keep your main movie as the most quality available. You also can skip extras o additional languages to reduce the size.


I want your basis. Because answering is easy, but it is the proof that makes the answer valid.

Actually - I think you're just testing people. Try asking some questions you actually NEED answers to. Just a thought. ;)


My brother was home on leave.  He actually saved lives and a ship by putting out a fire and throwing ordanance lockers overboard. He went out for dinner with my grandfather and my grandpa had a fit that he couldn't buy his grandson a beer.  I can understand the drinking age but I have a hard time wondering why someone is trusted to secure our nation yet to buy a lottery ticket is out of the question.  Can anyone make sense out of that?

There is no sense involved with this issue at all. I'm 19 and a member of the Army National Guard so I know where you're coming from. I would like to own and cary a handgun. Uncle sam says I cant because i'm not mature enough yet. But its OK for me to cary one to my death in war. There plain and simply is no sense at all regarding this issue. Its just the bureaucrats jacking everything up like always. writing nonsense laws for there own agendas or somone's agenda who has something that bureaucrats want and its usually money. To them it makes "CENTS,"\nrather than sense. Sense to them is money, not whats realy good for the american people. I'm sory but there is no answer for your question but that its nonsense. It is sad but true.


The yahoo voice service with the new yahoo messenger beta with phone-in and phone-out? Is it good quality and is it usefull... do you use it alot...?\nthnx stijn

yes ...and it is nice to see that virtually any phone all over the world is ready to receive your calls. So rates are also roughly half of the price of competitors. I tried with cell & land lines in France & Spain... \nIt works fine!


I recently downloaded Windows Media Player 10 off of the Windows Media website, do you prefer 9 or 10?

10 - because it integrates with Yahoo Music Unlimited, http://music.yahoo.com/unlimited,  and manages the content on my MP3 player.


what is the way to get mind concrntration and the way to get success in interview to get jobs.

Just be positive, and know you can do this. People are always looking for someone that want to be at work and help the company grow and make profit. Just let them think that you will be a positive aspect for them. Always act upbeat, and know what you are doing.


Will the water level of the Pacific raise so high in the next 20 years that buying a house in Hawaii or another tropical island is a dangerous investment?

Water level will for a fact one day be a threat to the populations in certain areas but i highly doubt that it will occur anytime soon... maybe in a 100 years or more. I could be wrong though :(


Hi hi... Well, anyone has tips on slimming down?\n\nI've gained 4kg ever since I went overseas... \n-________-"\n\nHelp help!

Same here... I've been losing weight by making some easy changes.\n\n• Don't skip meals (this one is important)\n• Drink lots of water\n• Don't eat too late (basically, don't snack before bedtime)\n• Find good ways to deal with a sweet tooth- I've learned to drink a diet A&W root beer to help with mine!\n• Exercise- this one is pretty obvious. Just fit it in whenever/wherever you can, because every bit counts.\n\nAlso, because your weight gain has occurred relative to a change in your life (going overseas) look at what the actual culprit is. What has changed in your diet/nutrition/lifestyle since you have been there? \n\nGood luck.


I have 1247 points and the only thing I've learned so far is I know how to use an internet search engine better than just about everyone.....

I have learned that..........Yes you can waste your whole day on the computer.


I can reach every other site, even those where tracert says there are 20 hops. I feel that I am being given the run around.

If your ISP can't route more than 5 hops, drop your ISP and find one who knows what it's doing.  My ISP takes more than five hops just to get outside their own routers.\n\nIn regards to being unable to access a particular website, you'll need to provide more detail as to the nature of the problem before it can be answered (i.e. server not available, browser timeout, error message etc.).


Does it offend you if someone tells you merry x-mas instead of hapy holidays? Most all religions are celebrating the birth of Christ but they have there own way of doing it. So if somebody told you happy hanuka and you celebrate x-mas would it really offend you?

You know, i've seen this question many times on  Y! answers and often within the media.  And, to date, i still say the same thing:\n\n1. Saying Happy Holidays is being inclusive of all faiths, and persons.\n2. Saying Happy Holidays does not mean that christmas doesn't exist.  It means that you should have a happy holiday for whatever holiday you celebrate.\n\n3. Christ was not born on Christmas, he was born in March or April (dependant on what calendar you look at).\n4. Putting Christ back in Christmas is perhaps the most idiotic thing i've ever heard.  Not only did this holiday start as a Pagan Festivle, Christ wasn't even close to being born on this day.\n\nIf you have a problem being inclusive, perhaps you shouldn't celebrate the holiday.  The spirit of christmas is to be giving, to work for harmony and peace on that one day, and do our best to have an enjoyable time in an otherwise harrowing time.  Non christians still celebrate christmas.  Many other's celebrate other holidays within that season and day.\n\nI personally celebrate christmas, but moreso the traditional yule celebration.  And, i still say happy holidays to whomever is concerned.\n\nBeing inclusive is very important.  If you want to exclude non christians from the holiday, then you should make it illegal to sell christmas trees, ornimants, wrapping paper, ect to anyone except churches, and churches should pass such items out :)  I doubt, for a single minute, that this type of action will take place; christmas means too much for retailers in our economy :)  So, since it can't be that way, try and be a bit more inclusive eh :)\n\nI twinge, yes, whenever anyone wishes me a merry christmas, and then spouts off christian bias.  It offends me because i'm not a christian.  I don't turn to the same person and tell them about the goddess or the harvest, so what's the point of being so rude like that :)


This was a typing job, so the person did a lot of manual labor and spent a great deal of time doing this for me.

Well, since you saved 800.00 that you were planning to spend, you're 800.00 richer. This is not the time to get thrifty. I would suggest at least 200-300$. If you don't feel comfortable giving them cash, you can get them a gift card. If they are into home improvement, a Lowe's or Home Depot card would be appreciated. Plus they'll remember you if you need any more free/ reduced jobs done in the future.


The female body is a work or art, a creation of our higher power as a gift to man. Even the savege & covetous nature of man leads his eyes to the things he wants. perpetuation of the species is locked in the genes. The nature of the beast. I still hold women in the highest regards and often find myself entranced by their beauty. To stare and judge the appearance of their finer points is a rite of passage. We should stand tall and proud and pay homage to the blessd' camel toe!

I WAS APPROVED FOR FAFSA GRANT for 2006 - I AM IN MANATEE TECHNICAL INSTITUTION , BRADENTON FLA I AM IN ADULT ED CLASSES right now. DEBBIE JO CHERRY\nregular classes -- START JAn 10 2006\nPLEASE LET ME HOW THIS WORKLS.  I AM TRYING TO KEEP MY HEAD ABOVE WATER-- WORKING, SO I GET TO A.E.AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ,,TRYING TO BRING MY MATH SCORE UP.

If you received the pell grant by filling out the FAFSA and then decide not to go to college for a semester you don't have to pay the money back as long as you don't enroll yourself in any classes.  If you already enrolled but the semester hasn't started yet contact the college and drop that semester to avoid having to pay back your pell grant.  If the classes have already started, but you can still drop the classes, then do so as soon as possible.  If the classes have already started, and it is too late to drop the classes, you will have to pay a portion of your pell grant back to the government.  You can still withdraw from the classes to avoid getting an "F" in every class, but since the deadline to drop the classes has passed your transcript will still show a "W" in every class, which is considered as failing as far as your financial aid is concerned.  Your best bet is to talk to your college financial aid office to see what options are available.

I have a really nice mare but am partial to paints and arabians-So my dilema is i want a arabian with paint color so i can have a horse of my choosing and the best of both worlds.

Try www.dreamhorse.com  Lots of folks on there are looking to trade. If your Arab has good hunter/jumper lines you can just about trade for anything if someone out there is wanting to get into showing. I got my horse by looking on there and she is the best! I love that website. Good luck.


HARD QUESTION! BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT HAVE PEACE WITHOUT WAR, AND YOU CAN'T HAVE SAFTY WITHOUT PEACE & WAR.


is it possible to find out an e-mail address without signing up for yahoo personals?

You can't.  It's not possible unless they put their email address in their narrative.


I am looking to buy a laptop and puzzled which one to buy - the one with AMD Turion64 processor or one with Intel Pentium 4 processor?

The reading that I've done recently indicated to me that the Centrino is still the best for battery life/price/performance. That in mind, Centrinos aren't P4's, and the P4's have worse battery life and are much hotter. A more fair comparison would be the AMD Athlon 3200+ chip laptops vs. a P4. (both are desktop chips)\n\nI'm a real AMD fan and I was really trying hard to justify getting a Turion but the only ones available in stores were the ML-xx models that use more power and are slower than the corresponding Centrino chips. I think the Turion has a lot more legs in it longer term, but we're going to have to wait another year or so before the better chips are more available for general consumption. Also, at least for now, if you want to run another OS on it than Windows, you'll likely find better support for Intel stuff especially the Centrino chipsets because the chipsets are all spec'ed by Intel and sold as a unit.\n\nMy 2cents.


Star Trek fans will know about the 'Prime Directive', i.e. we cannot interfere in the natural course of a less evolved society.\nMaybe if we had something similar we could stop the sale of arms between countries

You would never be able to stop the sale of arms between 2 countries even with a Prime Directive. Look at all the gun laws we have in America and criminals STILL have guns. Liberals think if they could only pass just one more gun law maybe this time it would be different.(Isn't that the definition of insanity - do the same thing over and over hoping for a different result?)\n\nDidn't you see Star Trek V? Remeber the planet of Galactic Peace? Weapons were OUTLAWED on that planet and they STILL HAD WEAPONS.\n\nOurs is a planet governed by the threat of the use of force - people won't challenge us unless they see weakness (Like when Clinton was running the country and caused Black Hawk Down to happen because he cut and ran in Somalia) The best course of action is to have the strongest national defense system possible and then pray to a higher power that we never have to use it...ever.


They were a really talented hip hop group.  I'm going to assume that certain people haven't heard of them, but most have.

I think they may have disbanded due to the relationship of Wyclef and their lead singer/rapper.


Pronounciation is different for cut, put; go, do; concept of silent letters is so stupid eight, pneumonia, knowledge; vastly different meanings for same word e.g. set

The British Empire is said to be an empire where sun never set. They had colonies all over the world. It was natural for these colonies to follow english. This is how the language spread.\n\nPhase 2 of the spread began with the american capitalism.

(2 Samuel 12:11-14 NAB)\n\nThus says the Lord: 'I will bring evil upon you out of your own house.  I will take your wives [plural] while you live to see it, and will give them to your neighbor.  He shall lie with your wives in broad daylight.  You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.'\n\n    Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord."  Nathan answered David: "The Lord on his part has forgiven your sin: you shall not die.  But since you have utterly spurned the Lord by this deed, the child born to you must surely die."  [The child dies seven days later.]


I am an unashamed moonbat - neocon-speak for liberal. I visit neocon blogs sometimes as I honestly want to know why they hate us, They say so often that we say we believe in tolerance, but are intolerant. Liberals run a wide spectrum so some might be that way, but I don't see a lot of that.  Why do neoconservatives hate us? Why do we still make you so mad even though your people are running the entire USA federal government? Why can you overlook such obvious and up-front knowledge that the Bush Admin has not only lied but broken Constitutional law? And what - if anything - could  liberals do short of suicide or political conversion that would lessen your hatred for us? This is a 100% honest question; I would really appreciate a 100% honest answer, not just more hatred or jokes or saying we "help the terrorists", since that's part of the whole point: there's less terrorism when there's less hate and more of it when the hate increases.  I thank you in advance for your intelligent reply.

well isnt it obvious?...they hate folks like u (and me) because you are honest (as your question attests itself) about issues and not afraid to ask honest questions...and also you know a lot, well enough to know that the neo-cons lie and break the constitution....well truth is bitter aint it?\n\nalso why should you care if they hate you or not? their hatred pulls a cloud over their eyes, makes them intractable to any reasoning and arguments....just be the way you are and keep on widening your horizons...you would grow to pity them.....


My brother has severe dust allergies. I am wondering if this product might be a good one to talk to him about.

I've had the same Ionic Breeze (large size) for the last 5 years, and I use it as an "air refreshener." It works really well for neutralizing odors--I have 2 large dogs and one cat... but doesn't do much for catching dust and allergens. \n\nI did some research--the Honeywell Enviracaire 50250 Air Purifier has gotten great product reviews from people with allergies. \nhttp://www.epinions.com/Air_Purifiers/search_string_~air%20purifiers/adv_search_~1\n\nBest of luck! Hope you find a product that works for your bro.

I was just wondering what selling out is?  I always hear somebody saying so-and-so has sold out and it's usually whenever they start to get big and famous.  So does being famous make you a sell out?  Isn't getting famous a good thing?

Selling out is a phrase used to describe forsaking one's original principles, usually for monetary gain. In your example, they probably mean that the celebrity is no longer "true to themselves" and took on a different personality because it makes more money.


I have Windows XP Professional SP2, and I have been trying forever to get Remote Desktop to work. Can anybody tell me how to get it to work, or a program that can do that eaisier?

My preferred program is UltraVNC.  It's relatively light, and supports encryption (if security is important).  Very simple to setup, and once you setup, its one click connection to your pc.\n\nIf you want an  easy way to connect them together through routers without port forwarding, try hamachi. It's a zero config vpn program that is always encrypted.  It will make your computers think that they are on the same local area network.


now i am using p4 with 1.0 ghz. how can i increase it so i can go faster. most of my games r not working properly(moving slide by slide) when i load them and cpu usage is quite a lot. my ram is 128

1: Increase Memory: Depending on your motherboard, you can probably add a lot more ram memory. Doing this can help a great deal.\n2: Better Video Card: If your main concern is playing games, install a better video card. ATI Radeons and nVidia cards are generally accepted as the best. Make sure to find out if you have an AGP or just a PCI slot for the card.\n3: Streamline your PC: Get rid of things that startup which you do not need. Also, a new hard disk with fast (7200) rpms, can speed things up, especially if you are low on disk space now.\n\nDoing all this will still cost less than buying a new motherboard and cpu. Overclocking is really not necessary.. However, you can only get so far without replacing your motherboard and cpu.\n\nNote: Do not close all the processes which you don't think you need through cntrl-alt-del menu. Many of those actually speed up your computer, since they run drivers for video and what not. Removing programs from the systemtrey and others that start up, such as spyware is still a good idea.

Kerio's free firewall (despite a recent scare about it closing) will still be available, and AVG virus checker is still free.

I've stopped updating my McAfee Anti-Virus.\nIf you are cheap (like me) there is a good anti-virus\nprogram called AVG from Grisoft that is free for\npersonal use.\n\nYou can download it here (link near bottom of page):\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/freewe...\n\nBefore you install this program be sure to UNINSTALL\nany other anti-virus program that you currently have\ninstalled. Anti-virus programs don't play well\ntogether so you should have only one anti-virus\nprogram installed at any given time.\n\nZone Alarm is a FREE firewall program that provides good protection.  \n\nYou can download it here:\nhttp://www.zonelabs.com/store/...\n\nWhen you install Zone Alarm you will be prompted to\nchoose the free trial to Zone Alarm Pro or just Zone\nAlarm, choose the Zone Alarm (just the firewall)\nbecause it's free. Zone Alarm monitors incoming and\noutgoing transmissions. It will take a little effort\nto get the settings up and running but it's easy and\nworth the time.\n\nAlong with scanning for viruses stopping spyware is important too.  \nThere are 3 good FREE programs that are effective at dealing with spyware, Ad-aware SE Personal 1.05 (removes spyware), Spybot Search & Destroy (blocks and removes spyware), Spyware Blaster 3.2 (blocks spyware). I have all 3 of these programs installed on my PC and they work well together without any conflicts. After these programs are installed they need to be updated on a regular basis to be effective. These programs will have to be manually updated.\n\nYou can download Ad-aware SE Personal 1.05 here (click on "Download Now" near top left of page):\nhttp://www.download.com/Ad-Awa...\n\nAd-aware SE Personal 1.05 will scan your PC and\nidentify spyware that should be removed. Ad-aware\ndefinition files are updated about once a week.\n\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy can be downloaded here:\nhttp://www.safer- etworking.org/en/mirrors/index...\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy will "Check for Problems"\n(scan) your PC for spyware that should be removed.\nBe sure to use the "Immunize" feature that blocks\nknown spyware from getting onto your PC. Spybot\nSearch and Destroy detection files are updated about\nonce a month.\nAfter you update Spybot Search and Destroy each month be sure to "immunize" your PC so that the updated spyware threats will be blocked.\n\n\n\nSpyware Blaster 3.2 can be downloaded here:\nhttp://www.javacoolsoftware.co...\n\nAfter the program is installed be sure to click on\n"Enable All Protection" so the program blocks spyware.\nDetection files are updated about once a month. After updates are installed each month be sure to click on "Enable All Protection" again so the updated detection files are applied.\n\n\nYou may also want to use Mozilla Firefox 1.07 as your\nprimary web browser. Firefox is an excellent program,\nand I have been using it for several months now.\nFirefox has fewer security flaws than Internet\nExplorer. You will still need to use Internet\nExplorer to download Microsoft updates.\nYou can download Firefox here:\nhttp://www.mozilla.org/product...\n\n\nBe sure you have all the critical updates from\nMicrosoft for Windows and Internet Explorer.\nOpen Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" and select\n"Windows Update".


As gooole(becoming portal by integrating search and sharing information) and yahoo (portal for everything) both doing well in many areas, still if I want to invest in one which one i should pick and why?

YHOO.  It's got a track-record and has broken through resistance of $39 and is demonstrating that $40 is now support.  It should start skipping above $40 from now on, assuming "all else remains equal."


i want to keep my old hard drive as slave and my data.

The best way is to copy all of the data you wish to keep onto removable storage devices such as CD's or onto another computer... then install the 2nd hard drive as master (change the jumper settings and whatnot) and install your operating system onto it. Your OS has to be on the master drive. http://www.lifehacker.com/software/feature/how-to-install-a-hard-drive-137179.php you'll have to read into it if you dont know what you're doing.


Explain the formation of a rainbow, i.e., what are the conditions necessary for\nyou to view a rainbow? What are the mechanics of rainbow formation?

In order to see a rainbow, you need a rather low source of light behind you and a layer of droplets in the air before you, which can be rain or spray.\n\nThe effect is similar to a prism breaking the light.  The exact mechanism is explained in the Wikipedia article below.

It's Spanish. "Hasta" means "until", so you can say "Hasta luego" (until later) or "Hasta mañana" (until tomorrow).\n\n"la" is just a gender preposition, denoting that "vista" (view) is feminine ("el" is masculine).\n\nThe figurative meaning is "Until later" or "until we see each other again".

why would a girl stop loving a guy who realy loves her more than anything???\nwhy would a girl stop loving a guy who realy loves her more than anything???\n\nshe says i dont love u anymore and she doesnt say the reason.......

Unfortunately love can be painful as well as joyous.  Remember that just because we care or love someone else does not necessarily mean that person feels the same way toward us.  Its a tough situation when you love someone who cannot return the feelings.  But, its better to find that out now rather then later.  Best of luck to you.

If the Earth is two thirds water and only one third land then why was it named Earth and not Water?

According to Wikipedia:\n\n"The word Earth has cognates in many modern as well as defunct - including ancient - languages. Examples in modern tongues include aarde in Dutch and Erde in German. The root also has cognates in extinct languages such as ertha in Old Saxon and ert (meaning 'ground') in Middle Irish. It is derived from Old English eorðe. Taking into account metathesis, we can find cognates of the word Earth in the Latin terra and in the modern Romance Languages (i.e. tierra in Spanish).\n\nAlthough a link to such Indo-European languages has not been proved, several Semitic languages have similar-sounding words for Earth: aard in Arabic, irtsitu in Assyrian, araa in Aramaic, erets in Phoenician (which appears in the Mesha Stele), and ארץ (arets, or erets when followed by a noun modifier) in Hebrew."\n\nThe fact that Earth and not Water was used seems intuitive. The origins of the word Earth are very old, from a period when the known world was thought to be much less than it actually is, and [thought to be] primarily composed of land.


My roommate got arrested the other night cause apparently he's AWOL and I don't know when he'll be back.  HELP

Typically, as we are not in a declared state of war, the death penalty under Section A and Table A & C do not apply.  So death is nothing that he will be charged with.\n\nHowever, AWOL and desertion are 2 serious crimes under the UCMJ.  Because of this, his punishment can be as light as a reduction in rank, as otherwise stated here, but his reduction in rank would be followed by an immediate dishonorable discharge (which will scare himself and his family for many years to come), and perhaps imprisonment.\n\nPlacing him in prision, inside of a military prision is a likely possibility.  The prison term would be for the remainder of his Military commitment, as well as whatever the court deems fit.  Chances are he will be dishonorably discharged AFTER his term in prision.  He will still maintain whatever rank they give him, but will not be allowed to keep that rank once discharged.\n\nThe vast majority of AWOL simple cases are mitigated with an Article 15 (felony charge), reduction in rank, and/or transfer to a disciplinary school/remedial school for several months to almost a year.  \n\nComplex cases in which his AWOL caused damage to the US military, with respect to the mission, his job, his unit, his group, or his command can directly affect how severe the charges will be.\n\nChances are if he didn't do anything too severe you will see him again, and he will be kept in the military, not discharged and only reduced in rank and pay.\n\nBUT DEATH is no likely to be a charge because we are not in a declared state of war anymore.  A Declared state of ware is declared by congress, not the president, and any charges for desertion under this case is punishable by death; but as your roomate isn't considered under this case, it is not a likely charge.

HSBC started as a bank financing british merchants selling opium to China and that is how they built their fortune. \n\nShould we really be encouraging a corporation who did something like that?

I would argue that todays HSBC really had little if anything to do with the HSBC from that long ago, so I think you are ok to bank with HSBC.\n\nI would recommend that you don't bank with any commercial bank and instead work with a credit union.  They tend to have better rates, lower fees, and be better members of the community.

i know he likes me even though he doesnt say it,how do i get him to ask me out without asking him or being to straight forward?

I think this happened to me once lol. Just hang out with him, and act like you like him.

Stuff like that will show that you like him back, and I promise he'll be thinking about it... And probably act on it.

The X-Fi sound card processor is like having a Pentium 4 chip driving your sound processing.  It is a fully dedicated sound processing device and takes all the strain of processing environmental sounds off the CPU.  That is of course the short version there is a whole technical explanation behind it.\n\nEAX 5.0 supports the following features:\n128 Voices\nEAX Voice\nEAX PurePath\nEnvironment FlexiFX\nEAX MacroFX\nEnvironment Occlusion\n\nI have the Logitech X-530's also but they are plugged into my X-Fi, there is no better combination.


Yes, they're open 10am to 5pm on Sunday.

Are they any good opposed to a normal running shoe?

you really should find out what kind of running shoe you need. do you over/under pronate? do you need a stabilizing shoe? nike's tend to run a lil narrow and i've stayed away from them. quality running stores will look at how you walk to determine what kind of runner you are. that's really the first step in determining if the frees are appropriate for you.


my girlfreind wants to do peoples taxes to make a little extra money this year what do you need and where do you go

There is NO requirement to be registered or certified to do taxes in Arkansas for a fee. However, I would suggest that she take an income tax course. I'm not allowed to post any commercial information, but the largest income tax preparation form (with whom I have NO connection whatsoever) offers an excellent course that I would strongly recommend before venturing into the world of paid income tax preparation.


Mouse works fine except when the hard disk is accessed. Then it goes jerky

Hmmm...we run 3 servers on Win2003 (two on a rack with a KVM switch, and one as a standalone) and we haven't had any issues with our mice. I bet it isn't an issue with Win2003...unless of course, your system is too weak to handle the load, in which case the mouse response would be shaky when the machine's crunching away.


There are a lot of products available, but there weren't when I quit.  So, I used the "cold turkey" method.  The longer you've smoked, the harder that one is, but it can be done.  However, nicotine addiction is the first and most important task to accomplish.  Long-term smokers have a tougher time without help.  Here's some info on kicking the addiction from the American Lung Association.


i Have A Compaq Hard Drive And i would like to add ot to my HP And just use it for extra storage

You can add it as a "slave" if you want to.  Set the "pins" on the harddrive to "CS" and connect it to the second connector on the harddrive cable.  Don't forget to connect power to it.  You pc should recognize it automatically.


Formal education: whenever is right for you, as in, what do you want to do next, and where do you see your life going?\n\nWhile learning itself lasts a lifetime, the generic recommendation is to finish formal schooling as soon as you can.\n\nOf course there are legitimate reasons for exceptions: some people time off to work, and then get back to finishing their degree, or two, later.\n\nGive it your best shot - it likely will affect much of your future.


I want to be in control of IM.  I will decide if and when I want to use this feature.  I do not want Im to come on and ask me to sign on everytime I start up my computer.   And I want to cancel the annoying pop up feature telling me someone in my friend network is on or if I have new mail.  I will check those out myself.  Just tell me how to deactivate those annoying features.\n\nThanks,\n\nJoe

When you open up Yahoo! Messenger, click on the "Messenger" link at the top of the program.  Click on the "Preferences" link on the drop-down menu.  From there, click on the "General" option on the left-hand side of the screen.  From there you can deactivate any of those features you'd like.

Or is that just a strong emotion confused with love?

Sure.\n\nSome people gradually fall for someone and some people find themselves falling for someone much quicker.\n\nIt's all in how much time you can spend together and how well things click between the two of you.\n\nBut, I would also say that often times what people label as 'falling in love' is nothing beyond a strong infatuation.\n\n//

have tried many conventional drugs and UVA and UVB treatment but only temp cure for a very short while

Most of them have given very good answers. The real problem is only one of the treatment may work out for you! Dont worry - I have had 3 friends who had very severe psoriasis. Each one of them had different treatments. Allopathy, Homeopathy & Ayurveda. All of them are cured. Allopathic cure was fast but not permanent - even though there wasnt any real comeback it had certain side effects. I feel that Homeopathy & Ayurvedha are much better without any side-effects. The main problem it is usually not very fast. It can take 6 months to one year for complete cure. You have to be patient & there are strict diet restrictions - like no meat, eggs, milk, alcohol, smoking ... the list is not small! But be sure to see a famous doctor - there are lot of quacks available. I know how you feel - dont worry there is treatment for it - You will be fine - wish you all the best!


While living in Italy, had an account in Banca  Commerciale Italiana. I returned to the USA. now wish to trnsfer money to american bank. How? What is current name of former Banca Commerciale Italiana? Suspect merger. How do I contact current holders of account? Any other pertinent information that I need to know to accomplish transfer?

Depending on the amount, you may be subject to the Bank Secrecy Act of 1971 (1974?).  There are certain dollar amount thresholds that need to be reported to the government.  Contact your current bank here in the States to initiate a wire transfer.  If that bank doesn't exist in Italy any longer, your bank should be able to find whom they merged with.  As for contacting current holders of the account, if you are not on the account, NO information may be given to you as to their whereabouts, amounts in accounts, or really, anything at all.  That is also part of the BSA and it is also the Privacy act.  A good, nationwide bank is (I hate to say this), Bank Of America.  Give them a call, open an account(they only will help customers), and they can help with a wire transfer.  Some Wire transfers fees may apply.


(i.e. "african american" or "native american" or "mexican american" but in every other country your just called in refrence to that country, i.e. there is no "african germans"? or "native canadians"?

Because they are really Americans and because this country is very special. \nAmerica makes you American wherever you're from, and at the same time respects your roots at the same time, because everybody is equal here.\n\nRegarding "African Germans" you mentioned, well, for example, some of them are called buren (Afrikanders) etc. in South Africa as far as I heard.


Any recommendations on programs to remove these? I already have Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D.

You will need a Virus scanner and a Spyware Scanner.\n\nYou already have two of the three spyware scanners I recommend, the other one being the Microsoft Anti-Spyware scanner which uses the GIANT scanner. You can get that at http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/\n\nAs for Virus Scanners, Grisoft's AVG Virus scanner is very good, you can get it at http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/\nAntiViru is another Virus Scanner which I have become to like more than AVG because it is very low on resource usage and doesn't come with all the loaded junk features as some of the other virus scanners. You can get Antivir at http://www.free-av.com/\n\nWhen trying to remove Spyware and Viruses, even trojans. I recommend that you do the scans of each program and removals in Windows Safemode. This will make sure that the spyware and viruses aren't running at the time and aren't interacting with the system. You can get into Windows Safe mode by tapping the F8 key on your keyboard just when you turn on your computer and before the Windows Loading screen comes up on the screen.


Unless you write or use a special or custom class loader class files are loaded from the CLASSPATH.  The can be defined as a environment variable or you can pass it in as a option to the java runtime.  So you don't actually "register" when usuing just the JVM.  If using some Java J2EE applicaitons / servers they will provide a configuration or installation aide that will build the classpath for you.  Without knowing what environment your running on / using I can only point you to the -classpath option at the command line.  \n\nCheers, good luck

Look at this web page for Crayola crayons bittersweet color swatch.\nhttp://www.crayola.com/colorcensus/americas_favorites/display.cfm?color=24\nI remember it as a sort of burnt orange color, but it probably has a little more red in it, looking at the color swatch, [they do say it's in the "orange" family, though, not the "red" family, like scarlet, brick red, and magenta] and since it is named after the berries of a plant called "bittersweet". \nThe Probert Encyclopedia describes the berries as scarlet-red. http://www.probertencyclopaedia.com/B1EB.HTM\nYou can see images of bittersweet berries by searching google images for bittersweet. Most of them look orangish-red to me. \nOverall, I recommend a reddish burnt orange.


im looking for the best quality on these items:\nMobo and with either AGP or PCI\nVideo card\nProcessor\nHardrive\nIm going to use my original floppy and drives ,all ive ever had has been Asus mobo (good quality) but im also looking at cost im wanting to stay at around 250.00-300.00 im not trying to build a Cray,2-2.5ghz,thx in advance

I would stick with the asus brand, I've had bad luck with other mobos.

I use Norton Ghost together with DVD-RW as the media for backing up. Unfortunately, as the DVD burner I use (Liteon SOHW-1693) only burns DVD-RW at 4X,it requires more than 10 hours, plus I have to be there to keep changing the DVD-RW.  Is there a backup software out there that recognises external hard disk drive (connected through USB 2.2 port) as the backup media and is fast.  Thanks!

I would highly recommend CasperXP. It's saved me a few times now and makes a complete bootable clone of the disk. The best thing is that it can backup whilst you are still using XP and has smart clone technology so that on subsequent backups it will only backup changed sectors of the hard disk reducing backup time considerably. It will work with external USB hard disks.

How to become a hacker, from asking that question many months ago when I wanted to find out more than just emailing, chatting and the usual norm (millions of average users do) I quickly improved my web searching skills and found out for myself. Some "hackers" say, "Start with C/C++, Python, Perl, and so on..." each person might have in their own opinion what you should start with.\n\nDefinition of a hacker: Originally, a hacker was a term of respect, used among computer programmers, designers, and engineers. The hacker was one who created original and ingenious programs. Unfortunately, the current popular meaning of the term is used to describe those who break into systems, destroy data, steal copyrighted software, and perform other destructive or illegal acts with computers and networks.\n\nStart out by learning networking and programming those are minimal basics, a "hacker" is supposed to know a great deal about computers, how they work, how networks works, ...etc and also know  to code "The hacker was one who created original and ingenious programs."\n\nThe best advice I can give you is learn all you can about computers, networks, programming, find information on forums, message boards, and websites.\n\nIf you just read all those "hacking" tutorials (I'm not saying their useless, just something you can try  experiments with on your own) your just going to become a script kiddie (occasionally script bunny, script kitty or skiddie) is a derogatory term for inexperienced crackers who use scripts and programs developed by others without knowing what they are or how they work for the purpose of compromising computer accounts and files, and for launching attacks on whole computer systems (see DoS). \nIn general, they do not have the ability to write these kinds of programs on their own. Such programs have included WinNuke applications, Back Orifice, and Sub7.\n\nLearn as much as you can and maybe you will become a hacker.If you need anything email me at searchjunkie@gmail.com, information wise, feel free.\n\n\nSources below are websites for free books, free information on anything, how to become a hacker, programming languages, free software, free alternative OS's, LiveCds, source code search engines and more.

The puctuation mark for hyphen is "-" right? But what about dash? Is it the same as hyphen? \n\nI think I read somewhere that dash is a longer line, so it uses two hyphens like this "--". Is this true?\n\nIf so, when there is a "-" in a web site address, or URL, are we supposed to pronounce it as "hyphen?" (while most people say "dash") For example, is m-w.com "m hyphen w dot com" or "m dash w dot com?"\n\nPlease provide me with a clear answer!

I didnt know the answer so I went to the dictonary for the meaning of both...\n\nHere is what I found. \n\nDash: as a noun\nEither of two symbols, an emdash or an endash, used in writing and in printing. \n\nHyphen: as a noun\nA punctuation mark (-) used between the parts of a compound word or name or between the syllables of a word, especially when divided at the end of a line of text.\n\nI think the symbol - is only called a hyphen when used in the above context.\n\nOtherwise it is a dash.... thats what I got from it anyways.

I might have to undergo root canal treatment in a few days. Is it really painful. If you answer this question, please do see the subsequent question in my profile. Thank You.

Root canal treatment is not painful if it's done under proper anesthetics.  But sometimes, if the tooth has been inflammated for a long time and even the bone around the tooth has started to decay due to the bacteria, the anesthetics might not work properly.  It's because of the acid environment the inflammation causes and the fact, that the solution of anesthetics can't dissolve in an acid environment, therefor can't give the proper level of numbness.  But it's only possible to feel something on the first visit, when they're taking out the nerve.  The following treatments (if further visits are needed) should be pain-free.  Also, there has been some research, that if You are very much afraid of the dentist, Your body produces more of the chemical, which might not let the anesthetics to work, so be as calm as possible and trust Your doctor. :)

"Blue nose" was slang at the time for people of a puritanical mindset who believed that selling alcohol on Sunday should be illegal. What is the etymology of "Blue nose?"

Blue Blood to Blue book to Bluenose?  The etymology of the word Bluenose and the phrase Blue Laws seems to have lost.  The only thing known for sure is that the first use of the term Blue Law that can be documented today is in General History of Connecticut by the Reverend Samuel Peters published in 1781.  It is now assumed that Rev. Peters coined the phrase.


We want to know if there was a time when there were a large number of Jews and if so, did their number decline because they became Christians?

Actually, No, the Jews of Jesus's day rejected the message of Christianity, as is evident from the Christian's New Testament itself. Repeatedly in the Christian's New Testament, when the Early Christians would go into the synagogues and preach, or even just explain what they believed, they would get kicked out. \n\nThe reason why this was so, is that the Jews to whom they preached recognized the story of Jesus in the stories of other Hellenist and Mediteranean gods. For example Mithra, who was born of a virgin human by a god for a father, who was born in the Winter, and who died in the Spring, and who came back to life three days later, and whose death and resurrection was proof for those who believed in him that they, too, would not die. Mithra was the patron god of the city of Tarsus, where Paul, called by many the true founder of Christianity, was born and raised. See also Dionysus, Attis, Ra, Adonis, and other gods that pre-date Christianity. Even Hercules had a human mother and Zeus for a father.\n\nWhen Christianity failed to take hold among the Jews, that is when the Early Christians took their faith to the non-Jewish world, and made it more attractive to the non-Jews by removing from it, Biblical requirements of keeping the Biblical laws, especially those of keeping kosher and circumcision.\n\nIn Jesus's day, (as now) the vast majority of those Jews who converted to Christianity were very assimilated, very Hellenized Jews, to whom the story of Jesus would have sounded very familiar.

If they drink water how long can they go between replenishing their fluids?

Some spiders do drink water as well as getting the fluids from prey.  Other spiders (like red-backs) don't drink water. If a spider has gone a while (sorry don't know how long) without water, it will approach a drop of water or dew drop and drink from it.


I play the drums and everyone says it is so much easier than other instruments but I don`t think so.What do you think?

absolutely not! drums are the most complicated instrument there is. I think the problem is people don't realize how deep the concept of drum beats,grooves,and fills are. Most people consider drums "noise" which is NOT true.Drums can be melodic if  you play them certain ways.Drummers are not as recognized as they should be for the talent and determination it takes to play the drums.they are the backbone and metronome of the band.

Photoshop 6.   At 100% Photoshop says it's 5" high and when I edit image size it says the same thing, but when I measure it on the screen with a ruler it says 4" even when I bring it into FrontPage to view.\n  I resized 100s of photos and saved them to 5" high at 72 dpi how do I get them to be 5" high on screen??

There are two things going on here that you need to understand. First, 72 dpi is a printer resolution, not a screen resolution. Photoshop doesn't resize directly for a particular screen size because the image must be measured in pixels, not dpi to resize for a screen and the size of an image measured in pixels depends on the resolution you have your screen set for 640x480, 600x800, etc. When an image size is measured in pixels, it will be larger on a low resolution screen and smaller on a high resolution screen. It will also be different sizes on different sized monitors. A fifteen inch monitor set to 800x600 will show a picture that is a larger portion of the screen than a 17 inch monitor set to the same resolution\n\nIf you want to resize to pixels in photoshop you can, but you will have to use some trial and error to find out how many pixels it takes to make five inches on your screen. If the picture is later opened on larger or smaller screens or screens with a different resolution it will be a different size. \n\nTo learn to resize to a particular number of pixels open photoshop, click on help and use the search function to search for "Resizing the image during optimization." It's pretty easy to do, but may not produce exactly the results you are hoping for. That's just the way it is with a program that has to work well for lots of different screen sizes set to lots of different resolutions.

If you test positive for chlamydia, your infection can be cured with antibiotics. Depending on several factors, your health care professional may prescribe azithromycin, in which case you will take only a single dose, or you may be prescribed doxycycline, which requires one pill twice a day for seven days. This may be followed by a test to see if you are cured, but test of cure is not routine and is usually reserved for pregnant women or individuals with persisting or new symptoms. Penicillin is not considered as effective against chlamydia as azithromycin. \n\nIf you are pregnant and infected with chlamydia, you still can be treated without harming the fetus. However, doxycycline is not recommended for pregnant women. The recommended regimen for pregnant women is erythromycin or amoxicillin for seven days, yet azithromycin as a single dose is also a possible option and recent studies and expert opinions suggest it is safe and effective. As with any antibiotic treatment, it is important that you take all your pills, even after symptoms disappear. \n\nBecause treatment with doxycycline or azithromycin is highly effective, women usually do not need retesting for chlamydia after treatment unless their symptoms persist or reinfection is suspected. Too often, women become reinfected because their partner has not been treated as well. Studies have shown that women who are reinfected with chlamydia have a much greater risk of developing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Therefore, it is important that you abstain from sexual contact until your partner has been tested and completed treatment, meaning seven days after a single-dose azithromycin regimen or after completion of a seven-day doxycycline regimen. \n\nIn general, treatment is recommended for any partner or partners you had sexual contact with up to 60 days prior to having symptoms or a diagnosis of chlamydia. Some clinics are experimenting with what is called partner-delivered therapy. Patients are given a one-gram dose of azithromycin to give to their partner. There are legal and ethical debates about this approach but in some cases it may be the most effective way to stop the spread of chlamydia, because many infected male partners have no symptoms and are reluctant to seek treatment. Penicillin is not considered as effective against chlamydia as azithromycin or doxycycline. \n\nPID treatment begins with an antibiotic regimen that provides broad coverage against several different bacteria. Treatment should begin as soon as a diagnosis is made, because immediate therapy has been shown to reduce the risk of long-term consequences of PID. Studies are under way to determine whether oral therapy is as effective as parenteral (intravenous) therapy. There are several different treatment options recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Regardless of which type of therapy is chosen, hospitalization is no longer recommended, except in certain circumstances including: \n\nsurgery is needed\n\nthe patient is pregnant\n\nan oral outpatient regimen cannot be tolerated\n\na patient does not respond clinically to oral antimicrobial therapy \n\na patient has severe illness, including high fever, nausea and vomiting\n\na patient has tubo-ovarian abscess or a weakened immune system\n\nWhile medication can stop PID, some women may need surgery to remove scar tissue and blockages caused by long-term infection. The most common type of surgery involves laparoscopy.

I'm making a fuel cell for Science Fair. I was originally calling it a Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell, but I later found I didn't even have a membrane!

My motivation was always that once they're done, you are free.  (for the term, at least)  It's a pretty good motivator.\n\nMy strategy was always to organize each course in my head, first.  Takes about 5 minutes.  If you've been given a study guide for the exam, immediately cross off what you are comfortable with.  With what remains, look at the major topics and 2 to 3 subtopics.  Review those.  You'll do fine.  You've lasted through the term, right?  \n\nAnd the most important thing is this: Go in RELAXED.  The moment you walk in the door, you are as ready as you will ever be.  Time's up.  It is what it is.  No point in stressing any further from that moment on.  Tell yourself that as you sit down.  Not only is it the truth, it calms you down.  Honest.\n\nah... one more thing... if you happen across a question that you really just can't seem to articulate an answer for, write a response and address it to the instructor - say that your understanding of this particular subject matter is 'insert something relative yet witty' and include whatever information you can summon up about that questions answer.  (it's worked for me - even though my answer to a particular question may not have been what he was looking for, I still received credit for exerting genuine effort at a response).  You'll do fine.

Going to confession is one of the very important duties of the Catholic. It's one of the essential elements so to speak of being a good Catholic.

Detective for 14 years with same City. Since then, he is unable to function b/c he feels his life is gone. No matter what I say to encourage, he has not been able to move on. This was 6 years ago and has undergone deep therapy and medications. Appreciate any advice from any one that has been through this. Thank you so much!

That's a tough thing for anyone to go through and probably more so for a police officer or detective. That is a high stress and emotionally draining job I would think. Does he go out or stay in a lot? If he stays in a lot, try to get him to go out. He needs to do things to build his self confidence again. Going to the gym, join a group that does things he has similiar interests in, take a couse at a local college just for fun ex: writing, art, etc. You didn't say if he could return to that work in another city or not. That might be one option. There are many other jobs he could get with his vast skills and experience and he could take some courses at a college to add to his skills and head his vocation in another direction. He could also volunteer to go to schools and talk to children. I would not push him to get a job until he is feeling better about himself and when that time comes, I would suggest a part-time one. Let him know that he has the power to turn a bad turn of events into a positive and meaningful one. He is fortunate to have such a caring and concerned friend like you. Good Luck with your friend and I hope things get better for him.


I go to a tanning bed three days a week...I would like to know from others, how many minutes I should spend in the tanning bed?  I have a good base tan, and would like my goal tan to occur in about a month.

well if you dont have sensitive skin i would say no longer than 15 minutes tops! if you have very fair/ light skin that is sensitive I would say no longer than 8-10 minutes it can be painful if you burn! and be sure to use tanning lotions the can help prevent burning


I bougt my laptop at USA and can not send it to producer to repair. The keyboard does not work ocationally and sometimes, the cursor jumps chaoticly when typing

I had an Averatec 5400 series model computer that I bought from WalMart.  I have had troubles with it adding spaces, freezing up and eventually not booting.  I am not sure why you cannot send it to the producer, but I sent mine in for warranty repair (one year limit.  It probably was about a thousand dollar laptop, you bought it because of the features (large RAM, DVD burner, cool silver color) and now you are having problems with what ended up being second rate parts used for assembly.  How about using a USB keyboard and disabling the other one in the system hardware settings?

The second source tells you how to bring your spouse to the United States if you intend to marry him there. After the two of you have been married for 3 years and he has lived in the United States for 3 years with trips of no more than 6 months during that time, he can apply to naturalize and become a citizen.


I've always had a suspicion that the classic movie opening used by MGM - I've read the big cat is affectionately known as Leo - is not just a depiction of one lion over their 70 years, but is in fact at least two different lions.\n\nSome movies seem to show a lion with a light gold color of fur, while others seem to show one with a more darkish tint. Does any body know exactly how many have been used. I think this would make a great trvia question. A source would be appretiated.

According to this site, there were four different lions used
