Hey, in your opinion, what makes a "good boss" good?  I'd also be curious to know what makes a "bad boss" bad?

A good boss?  Encourages staff to grow and learn new things.  Gives credit to staff and never acts as the lone hero.  Treats staff equally, never showing favoritism.  Takes responsibility when something goes wrong, instead of pointing fingers.  Doesn't belittle or humiliate employees in public.  All criticism is done in a helpful way, and in private.  Gives employees a chance to shine by allowing appropriate levels of autonomy.  Clearly defines the job duties and goals, and gives evaluations based on those agreed upon terms.  Makes decisions and acts upon them.  Likewsie, do what you say you are going to do.  Respect your staff as professionals who were hired to do the job because the boss thought they could do it.  Show gratitude and acknowledge good work.  Act in an ethical way so that you serve as a good role model.\n\nA bad boss would not do these things, or do the exact opposite.  For example, making promises that are never kept.  Yelling at a staff member in front of colleagues.  Having the attitude that "a paycheck should be thanks enough."  Taking credit for all the good and laying quick and heavy blame for anything that goes wrong.  \n\nHaving lived through the bad boss scenario as well as the good boss, I know which one I choose.


Other windows remain open. I also have a fantasy sports site that has live scores via Java and I CAN'T log into it. Same result when I go to that link. POOF. That window shuts down. Is there a power struggle between Microsoft and Java that Im not hearing about?

Hmm. Don't what your problem might be, but you might want to try the manual download link under the button.  The next page will show you the list of installers, choose the one for Windows offline Installation (assuming that you are using Microsoft Windows).  After it finishes downloading, just double click the file and you should be on your way to installing it. \nJust to make sure your getting Java from the right location, here's the link to the download page. Good Luck

we have tried every medicine and nothing seems to work. any home remedies?

Assuming he has seasonal allergies, he could try a supplement with proanthrocyanins and quercitin, like products "allerquell" or "grape seed extract".  Most importantly he should AVOID triggers and pro-inflammatories such as dairy products, citrus juices (orange, grapefruit, etc.), high histamine fruits like strawberries, red meat, processed sugars and processed white breads.  Encourage more intake of fresh non-fried fish, lime or lemon water, fruits like peaches, pears, banana, blueberries, cranberries.  Consider an EFA (essential fatty acid) supplement containing omego 3-6-9 if his fish intake is low (less than 2 serving per week).  \n\nObviously, he should get lots of rest, as staying up long nights depletes his energy.\n\nHis main living areas (bedroom, living room) should be allergen reduced by keeping windows entering into these spaces closed; no pets or people's dirty clothes carrying dander and pollens allowed into these areas; dry clothing in a dryer (not clothesline).  Ensure he washes before going to bed to reduce pollen and dander exposure to him overnight.\n\nGive this a month and see if it helps.  Good luck.


I heard that stretches where you hold the stretch are bad before exercise and that you should do like high knees and lunges instead

that is incorrect after many times playing soccer i found that if i didn't hold a stretch i became really sore afterwards but high knees and lunges are a good element to add to your stretching


I just know he was a sicko!  In your answer, in respect for John, PLEASE DO NOT MENTION THE NAME OF THE ASSASSIN.  After all, he did it for the attention.... or is this the main idea of the book?

The assassin was originally enamored with/greatly admired John Lennon and the Beatles, as did lots of young folks at the time. \n\nSomewhere along the line, he (the assassin) became disenchanted with his idol(s), and apparently found a kindred spirit in the outcast subject of "The Catcher in the Rye", Holden Caulfield. \n\nHolden did not fit the mainstream, and after repeated disappointments over failed relationships & friendships, (and being regarded as weird by his peers), he became rather hardened and bitter toward others. He eventually refers to said people by whom he had been spurned as "phonies" and regards them with disdain.\n\nHolden Caulfield never hurts or kills anyone. He just retreats further and further into his own mind as a mechanisim for coping, and grows increasingly distrustful of most people. \n\nApparently "the assassin" thought of himself as a Holden-like character. A crusader against "phonies" and, for whatever reason, fixated on Lennon.\n\nI actually really liked "The Catcher in the Rye", but I can definitely see the paralells. Lennon's death was and is a horrible tragedy and irreperable loss.


I think anybody thats syupid enough to join should be allowed

It should be up to the men who serve with them. It's probably a homophobic attitude but I would never feel comfortable serving with a homosexual. Not when you have to live with them day in and day out. And if you didn't feel comfortable with the squad your in, you would compromise the efficiency of the unit therefore every ones lives would be more at risk. And you can say what you want in reply to that, it is my view, not yours.


the height h is the same in both manometers. which statement is true? a. yur sample of gas has the higher presure. b. your friends sample of gas has the higher pressure. c. both samples have the same pressure. d. there is not enough info. d. none of these is correct.

the answer is a, mercury is much heavier than water and would require a heavier pressure tto reach the same altitude...i think..lol


What percentage range should advertising of a product be compared with its sales?

First of all do a SWOT analysis and assess your company versus others in the market. If it is highly competitive then you need to increase advertising spend to improve your market share position. Ideally, it should not exceed 5% of your total sales. More importantly, you should also assess the impact of your campaign. was it effective? did it improve your market share position? if not you are throwing good money out the window. I strongly suggest that you source a good AD agency that has a proven track record before you try and look for a cheap one. In the end you improve the likelyhood. All the best.


This regularly happens in the box at corners or set plays.\nI would punish the cheating players with a 10 minute sin binning like rugby does, or give them a yellow card. I would do the same for players who dive or players who surround the ref and back chat to them. I say give the refs a mic like rugby, so everyone can hear what is being said by the ref and players verbally attacking him. I'm sure the offenders would soon stop after hearing themselves over the speaker system. Rugby players are big men scary men, but they have the utmost respect for refs and don't even try to argue. If the shirt pulling, holding and general impeding of attacking players was stopped we would see more goals, so why is it still going on?\nThese changes together with video replays for the 4th official(takes less time than arguing), goal mouth cameras and changing the offside rule back would only benefit the game making a lot of people like myself very happy and less frustrated with the best game in the world!

They should.. But referees don't see everything and dont always give it. They only give yellows if the shirt pull or holding is dangerous to the player or prevents a good chance.


Can somebody please give me some advice on what types of foods I should be eating before and after jogging?

the working of electrets and their applications

Electret (formed of elektr- from "electricity" and -et from "magnet") is material that has a permanent electric charge polarisation.  Electret materials have recently found commercial and technical interest. For example, they are used in one form of microphone and in copy machines. They are also used in some types of air filters, for electrostatic collection of dust particles, and in electret ion chambers for measuring ionizing radiation.\n\nTweeters are speakers designed to play higher frequency sounds, as opposed to woofers.

Having your boobs and butt showing isn't sexy it's cheap. Wear the classiest, most expensive looking, outfit you can find. Pick a color that's great for you and go confidently. You don't have to dress like a nun. A little leg and a little cleavage are nice and so is a bit of tummy, just don't look like you are going to meet a pimp. Very sexy undies that only you know you are wearing can make a big difference in the way you carry yourself.

This can be the most meaningful or just the best time you ever had.  Was it the teacher or the subject matter that made it so great?  Was it a big or smaller class?

My first semester of college I nearly went insane. I was sick all the time, I was scared to meet new people, and it seemed like everyone else was a genius compared to me. My chemistry class is was kept me sane. \n\nIt helped that it was smaller (60-70 people.) It was still twice the size of my high school classes, but less than half the size of a normal lecture at my college. The professor was GREAT. He was the first professor to learn my name, or even seem to care that I, as an individual, understood the material. AT the time, it was a big deal. He was also a great teacher in general. He liked to do demonstrations and involve the students in them. \n\nMost importantly, for whatever reason, I ended up becoming friends with a lot of people in that class. Nerds are drawn to one another, perhaps? I'm not sure what I would have done without it.

He persues me and expresses himself really well.I am aware of tha maturity factor and I can deal wit consequences.I am confused cuz could he really be serious?What could he possibly know about relationships and love?I would like to here from tha young ones.

I would just take it slow.  He still has time to grow and learn about life.  Maybe he really would like to do that with you.  Some guys are more ready than others. Just take it slow so u dont get crushed.   The age thing is not a huge deal.  Really you are not that much older than he is.  He could be serious.  Just realize that he is not established yet.  If you are and are comfortable with that, then go for it!!!!

I don't have an IT background, but I just finished the last of the four Cisco CCNA courses. Do you recommend the two exam option or the one exam option? Why?

If you took your CCNA online through Accademy Connect, make sure you took the voucher tests. Being that you have no background it will probably be better to take the two test version. I Will be taking my second, in about a week. My professor, whos is also the Dean for the information division is a very intelligent teacher and through his guidance has proved that it is better to take the two version because it breaks it down a lil better making it easier to study for.


like, if you dont talk, does he like you if he tries to be all cool around you or if he sorta avoids looking at me. like too shy to look?? and if he tries to start a conversation and being nice?? does that mean he likes you?

Some people choose to be a soldier because that's what they want to be in life.

ok, here's the thing, I NEVER USE my checkacrd for ANYTHING, NO LIE and  yet someone all the way down in FLORIDA has been making purchases with it at gas stations, home depot, etc...so my qustion is, if they don't have the ACTUAL card that I have in MY WALLET, how can thieves use it at store locations?!?!?!?! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

If you've never used your card (either at a store or an ATM) and never disclosed the information to anyone (including online), I would suspect your information was obtained one of the following ways:\n\no  Someone with access to your wallet or your home (or whereever you keep your card number and pin) - This is the most likely\n\no  Someone took mail from the mailbox (like a renewal notice -- although this would not include your pin)\n\no  Someone hacked the bank's computer system (possible, but not likely)\n\no  An inside job at the bank (again, possible, but not likely since even insiders don't have access to your pin)

what is a psychometric test?? Can anyone provide me with some website about it..

Not only aptitude (natural talent) but they can also test your ability and personality traits.\n\nThere are so many tests available that it is virtually impossible to say which one(s) will be used. Universities especially often used tests specially developed "in-house" and not published for general use. The test are usually designed so that 'preparing' for one will not equip you for another.\n\nThere are no 'pass' marks by the way. The tests are intended to screen out potential problems which may, in this case, interfere with your medical training as well as assess your suitability. Even if you fake the results the traits tested for are liekly to come out in the end and you will have wasted your time, and the school's, in training for an unsuitable career. My advise, as a former occupational psychologist is take the tests without worrying over them or trying to 'prepare', and listen to the findings (you are entitled to feedback), they're there to help you\n\nAlso, unlike regular academic or scholastic tests, you can't revise (and shouldn't 'prepare') for them unless you are happy to give a false result and can live with the possible consequences.


Had the policy for 20 years.  I have a 30-year term life insurance policy and life and accidental death insurance through my employer.

I'm always amazed reading answers from people who have no idea what they're talking about.\nIf you've had that policy for 20 years you'd be crazy to cash it in now.  You can never again buy a policy for what you are paying now because you are 20 years older.  It's good you have other insurances, but someday that term insurance is going to end.  The accidental insurance is only good while you're with that employer and if you die accidentally.  This policy will stay with you and the premium will never increase as long as you live.


What kind of reactions do the church members give you?  Does Yahoo answers make for a good topics?

Yes. I have asked my pastor and friends to share their ideas after answering questions. There have been concepts covered here that I had not thought of before. It has served as a tool that has deepened my understanding and fortified my faith. My church is open to all questions, and we discuss whatever is on our minds on Wednesday nights, so the reaction has been as it always is, very welcoming and non-judgemental. A topic that I am currently mulling over is the concept of hell - whether it is the eternal burning and torture most think it is, or if it is obliteration by being thrown into the lake of fire. I'm leaning towards the latter lately as I have found nothing that indicates that hell is eternal torture.

Peggy is "power-walking" in High Park, five metres from a small pond. There are 34 people in the park, and 17 ducks in the pond. If Peggy travels at 6 km/hr past the pond...\n\nA) What percentage of people in the park are laughing at her silly "power-walk" waddle? \n\nB) How many ducks are attracted by her walk and follow her through the park?

That is a very tricky question indeed.  But I believe I have your answer.\n\nFirst, I will answer B.  Tulaga's theorem of ducks is that for each meter from a pond with ducks, an individual could expect 2 ducks plus 1 duck for each km/hr they are travelling at.  In other words Number of Ducks Following = (2 ducks x 5 meters away) + (1 duck x 6 km/hr) = 16 ducks.\n\nSecondly, everyone in the park plus the one duck left in the pond is laughing at Peggy.  Therefore, the answer to A is 100%.


I can't stay happy for extended periods of time.  Whenever I get happy it is broken by a period of depression, usually equally as long or longer lasting than the period of happiness.  Sometimes these swings will happen many times a day, sometimes they last months.

Yes you are emotionally unstable, but that also means that you are a normal human being. Everyone has experienced good and bad times and it's completely normal for someone to feel depressed or happy during the transition. You can increase your happiness by changing your way of thinking and lifestyle. Be optimist instead of pesimist. Think positively instead.

Surah [2:228] The divorced women shall wait three menstruations (before marrying another man). It is not lawful for them to conceal what GOD creates in their wombs, if they believe in GOD and the Last Day. (In case of pregnancy,) the husband's wishes shall supersede the wife's wishes, if he wants to remarry her. The women have rights, as well as obligations, equitably. Thus, the man's wishes prevail (in case of pregnancy). GOD is Almighty, Most Wise.

First, you kind of missed some parts of the verse:\nAnd secondly, I am not sure where you got your translations, but it is not giving out the full tranalation.\n\nYusufali 2:228] Divorced women shall wait concerning themselves for three monthly periods. Nor is it lawful for them to hide what Allah Hath created in their wombs, if they have faith in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands have the better right to take them back in that period, if they wish for reconciliation. And women shall have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable; but men have a degree (of advantage) over them. And Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.\n\n\nWhen a woman gets a divorce, she has to wait for like 40 days before she can remarry.\nHowever, if the husband and the wife decide to reconcile, than they are allowed to do it.\n\nThere you go, if you read the right translation, you might understand.\nSO as you can see, how people have already thought that Islam downputs women through their wrong translation,...... but when you give them the right translation, than they dont have a word to say....... Read the verse......

I'm trying to write a ten-page paper about Arminianism for a Logic class I'm taking. I'm having a hard time though, because I can't seem to find any books or websites about the subject except for Calvinist websites that give a little info on Arminianism and then proceed to attack Arminianism.

Personally, I don’t do either, but I am just curious why they, (whoever they are) allow one harmful substance to be advertised and not the other. Smoking is deadly I know, but so too is alcohol. Why not allow both or band both?

It's because most deaths related to alcohol are indirect such as drunk driving.  Smoking deaths are direct.


I'm looking at a set of Callaway X-18 irons on eBay, and I wanted to know if the shafts are anything special. I'm not sure what comes from the factory, what's "aftermarket", etc. I've heard of Rifle shaft, etc.  Maybe someone can put into perspective for me.  That would be great!

Dynamic Gold Regular shafts are probably on more clubs than all other steel shafts put together.  If you swing harder than average (as determined by clubhead speed, not by effort), you may benefit from the stiff shafts, which flex less and more quickly than R shafts.  Or, if you use shafts that are more than 1" longer than standard, you may need a stiffer shaft.  Longer shafts flex more than shorter ones.  Go to a good golf store and have your head speed measured with a shaft comparable to the one you contemplate using.  That is the most reliable indicator of which flex you need.\n\nGraphite shafts are generally lighter than steel, but do not necessarily flex more.  They come in a range of stiffnesses, just like steel shafts.  The reduced weight often permits more clubhead speed or longer shafts with no weight increase, and so require a stiffer shaft than a comparable steel shaft.


I think the U.S.'s idiot of a President would have the guts to go to war with Iran.  It's getting the support of Congress and the people of the U.S. that might be the problem.  Going to war with Iran would be completely stupid because the U.S. is already overextended in Afghanistan, Iraq, and in its war on terrorism.  I do believe something has to be done about Iran, but I really don't know what.  I sure hope it doesn't come to war though.  If it does, I'm moving out of the U.S. for good!

Since I'm being so nice to him and everything I'm his friend. He likes someone else but I hear from other people that he doesn't anymore. He is REALLY nice to me. I can't tell if he likes me or not. How can I tell?! (I get confused because I'm also his friend now which means I don't know if he is being nice to me because he likes me or because I'm his friend.) P.S. I don't want to ask him!!!

Why? Maybe if you ask, you will get the answer you are looking for!

The Web offers tremendous opportunities for those who know how to harness it. You hear of stories of people who earn thousands if not millions of dollars from doing business on Web. While there are many scams (same way in the traditional business world), there are various ways you can legitimately make money on the Web.\n\nHere are the main business models you can adopt:\n\n1. Sell products on the Web - Big boys like Amazon or Lillian Vernon online catalog or smaller businesses like BigKidsVideo.com or Candle4Less.com all sell products on the Web. \n\nYou can either sell: (a) through your own storefront through your own website or applications such as Yahoo Stores; or (b) sell through online auctions like eBay\n\n2. Information Delivery. Others such as About.com or PowerHomeBiz.com create content and monetize their content in a number of ways:\n\na. Advertising - whether by joining banner ad networks such as Tribal Fusion, BurstMedia or Fastclick and display the banners on their site; or through contextual advertising such as Google Adsense or Intellxt\n\nb. Affiliate Programs - you sell other people's products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)\n\nc. Paid online content. Hoovers.com or WebmasterWorld.com Supporters forum all require paid subscription before accessing the information\n\nd. Content licensing and syndication. Some publishers such as the Associated Press get paid every time their content is published elsewhere


anyone trying to juggle work school and family.  im starting pharmacy school this fall, any tips for balancing the three to make it go a little smoother. its possible i know, its just finding the right balance.

when you say family do you actually support your family are you married. \nall i know is hun you always have to have time where you put your self first. what ever makes you feel happy. enjoy.. and as for pharmacy i hope you are working as a teck, since its the best way to learn and memorize prescriptions.  we allow are-selves too over load believe me that's how i am. its hard because no one really appreciate anything. so you should be selfish. taking care of your self . it is important especially in this time. you need to focus hard . education is you are key to success. if you have kids what better role model than you a pharmacist. successful  dad and mom means you kids have better hopes and education.  you sound like a generous and great person. be careful and allow your self to enjoy life. good luck.


I'm thinking about switching jobs and looking for a change. But if I decided to do that, that means I would have to sacrifice my family. Ex: relocation,school,and happiness. But, theres a catch. You want to know how much you'll be making before you take that big leap. I've been told that you should never ask how much the salary is until your foot is in the door but then again, I want to know if it's even worth quitting the "old" job and go with the new. I hate to be in a situation making lesser than what I'm making now. Don't get me wrong its a good paycheck but more would be better. Any suggestions ???

I think it is acceptable to ask if the right time presents itself. So set the conversation to where you can mention it, nonchalantly. Regardless though it is important for you to figure out is this a job you really want, are you tired of your old job? If so go for it anyways regardless of the salary. Your family will support you.


i am a male n cant turn my vision from seeing opposite sex persons who r beautiful ,how to overcome this

self-control. but given you are male i'm sure you'll come up with every excuse in the book about why you can't exert self-control. i suspect you'll do your looking anyway and when you have a girlfriend i also suspect you will be slapped frequently. lastly, i suspect you will be single much of the time until you figure out how to exert self-control.

I love Weird Al and he is the greatest at what he does, but in truth he's already passed the peak of his career.  Maybe he should try making more movies or shows, and leave music alone for awhile.  You know get out some fresh ideas.


I am a guy and they try too hard to impress the girl is that he wants to date her but the only way that he could try to date he is by trying hard. They want to be with that girl. Instead of asking her out he would just try hard and if that did not work then he would try even harder. I know this from experience. I have been there and done that. Good Luck. Heres a good question. Why do girls try to hard to get the man of her dreams or want to date him?


I was fired from my job.I told customers and others about some illegal business practices.Is that slander?

No not slander specifically.  Slander involves someone who tells one or more persons an untruth about another, which untruth will harm the reputation of the person defamed. Slander is a civil wrong (tort) and can be the basis for a lawsuit.\n\nWhat your employer may have fired you for is malpractice (depending on what you do), or just simply for bad character, which they can fire you for (check with your employee handbook).\n\nI don't think you will be able to sue for wrongful termination.


The container can be no bigger than 7x7x7 inches.You would package your egg in a baggie so that it will not break when it is dropped to the ground from high above.The object is that you can package one RAW egg so that it can be dropped from high in the air and SURVIVE!!!

I like the jello answer. I would use a bunch of cotton, but also find a way to suspend your egg in a number of rubber bands. They need to be tight enough so they don't stretch too far, but loose enough so they move on impact. In combination, the cotton and the rubber bands should protect your egg.

What should I do?  I cannot stand the thought of him being with someone else.  I feel like it is my fault.  I just want him to love me again.  I know I can get remarried, but I still love him.  We have not gotten divorced yet and already he has another girlfriend. His girlfriend says she loves him and wants to stay with him.  He acts like he still wants to be with me too.  I am not sure if he will really leave her if I take him back.  He says he is sorry to me, but then goes to her behind my back.  He doesn't know that I just found out about them.  So when he said he was out with his friends he was really with her.

Dear, west girl\n\nI really believe if he really wanted to be with you he would leave her and be with you. He might say he loves you but he don't cause if he did he would not be with her he would be with you all the time.Don't put yourself through all the hurt of taking him back all the time and then getting hurt again by him leaving you again. Its ok to still love him , but who have to go on and quit being hurt by someone who obviously hun does not love you and is going back and forth between two women. I hope you do the right thing hun


god never tests..so u dont have the right to test him..am i right  guys???????

That's right. His ways are not our ways.

Most judges make young men go to the military when they break the law. If the want to be citizens should they work for it?

No, our military shouldn't be made up of people who don't want to be there.  It should be made up of people who are proud to serve.  Immigrants and foreigners can serve in our military if they choose to.


My boy friend and I drink and are alcoholics. We aren't knock down drag out drunk everyday, we do hold day jobs. We don't even drink everyday. maybe once or twice a week. I have been drinking recreationally since the age of 15. Him since 16. We have been together for 6 years. I'm 29 and he's 28. We know we are alcoholics. We do great when we are sober together and we battle when we do drink. Does this sound familiar to any one? Experiences? Knowledge? How do we go about facing up to it and getting help? when is enough is enough?

Sounds just like me and my now husband.  We changed everything. Our friends our jobs.everything. AA helps alot. Go to different meetings they are all different. Take some of it leave some of it, some of it is cheesy. Him and I both knew nothing other than drinking. It just seemed like the thing to do. Finally one day he screwed up really bad and it was done. Our lives are great..one year 2 days ago.SOBER. Give it a chance ....from one drunk to another give it a try !!!!!!!!!QUIT.

does anyone no anything to do to find random facts and info on the web which could help you for an I.Q test? like just stuff like what is cold fussion or trig. or the war of 1812?

Agree with Ace.  Any I.Q. test that asks questions you can look up on the web is not much of an I.Q. test.  I.Q. is *intelligence*, not fact-regurgitation (or even knowing what "regurgitation" means).\n\nThat said, for beginner's questions about physics, history, pop culture, etc.\n\nOne word: Wikipedia.


i wrote in a couple of weeks ago. have seen the doctor more times than i can count.i have all the previous symptoms i mentioned but i now have painless swollen nodes in the back of both knees,going up.i also have an enlarged one on each side of my groin.i have started to have deep bone ache and lower back pain.my doctor says it couldn't be cancer because he says it is rare.i think he's crazy,because i have been sick for 6 mos. now and getting worse.i have lost 12% of my body weight i 4 months,7% of it in the last month.i want a biopsy of a node, and he doesn't want to do one,because he says they aren't large enough to be cancerous.they are about the size of between a dime and a quarter.i am really beginning to suspect lymphoma.i also have itchy skin all over and little red dots come up,like broken capillaries under the skin.i am very worried and could someone post who's been through something likec this.my previous question i think is titled " can someone help me"(nsks7283).

YOU SHOULD DEFINETLY GET A SECOND OPINION, THAT QUACK DOCTOR OF YOURS IS TRYING TO MASK YOUR PROBLEMS NOT HELP YOU AT ALL. PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU KEEP ALL OF YOU PAPERWORK FROM THE DOCTOR, SO YOU CAN SUE HIS A*** LATER. TAKE CARE AND KEEP US POSTED!!

Brackets with times and places are best.

At the end of the regular season the top seeded teams play bottom seeded teams.  For example:\n\n1st vs 8th\n2nd vs 7th\n3rd vs 6th\n4th vs 5th\n\nAnd from each round of playoff the top seeded team gets home-ice advantage.  To win a Stanley Cup a team must win 16 games.\n\nThe usual game time is 7PM local time but sometimes the games are played in the afternoon (usually on Sat. or Sun)


i think it must be alot, when you go through the streets of barcelona there are so many marokkians, black people etc its crazy and they are also mostly very chissy like don´t respecting you an donly wanting one thing.what do they think, they are now in europe they can behave like animals????

dont worry, any illegal immigrants that arrive in spain will only be making their way to the uk to claim benefits, so they wont be in barcelona for long!


I have a period maybe once or twice a year. I am a 24 yr old and have had 2 children although it was hard to concieve the 2nd time and this probulem didn't happen till after I had my first.

I have that problem. I get one maybe 1 or 2 a year. I went to the doctor and they found out that i have a thyroid problem. or it could possible be PCOS. Talk with your doctor or you OB/GYN to see what they could possibly do to check and see what's wrong.


I am paying things off, paying bills on time, I have paid off two cars (never late w/ payments) and I can't get credit. What can I do to use credit wisely or to increase my score.

First, get a credit report to ensure that nothing has been reported negatively.  If there is erroneous information, dispute it immediately. If there are no problems, you may want to consider a secured credit card.  You put money down as a deposit, in case you default on your payments. Payments on the card are reported like an unsecured card, and in time, the company you have the secured card with, may offer you unsecured credit.  Third, if you have a poor to fair job history, that will look badly for you.  Also, opening a checking AND savings account and not overdrawing, will make you more responsible looking.  Hope this helps!


what is fat32 and how do i do it how long will it take will i have to reinstall win98se or not.what is the purpose of fat32 will it improve my comp

fat 32 (i.e. File Allocation Table) is a file system for writing on computer hard disks. In this system, the hard disk space is divided into units of 32bits. When data is to be written to the disk, each of the 32 bits of space allocated on the hard disk is written into till full. When a new input is to be made on the hard disk, another 32bit space or block is selected and written into.This however wastes much of the disk space available.\n    However, in recent times, another file system has arisen. This is the NTFS. In this system, data is written on tne disk in close succession or no particular order except that for each new data to be written, a new space is chosen right after the last used space.This therefore maintains or makes available a great deal of space available for use and is more adviseable.\n    Hope I've been of much help. Bye!


Who got the best picks and who will benefit the most from their new players. Also which players will continue to get better in the NFL and which players have already reached their peek?

The two teams that did the best were Arizona and Houston. Arizona did the best by drafting Matt Leinart and than drafting Deuce Latui, who is also from USC, to guard him. Thanthey twice again found gems at low position. These players were Leonard Pope and Gabe Watson.\n\nHouston (Even with the No. 1 pick) had a great draft, too. They drafted Mario Williams, who I thought was the better choice, over Reggie Bush. This WAS the better choce because they have Domanick Davis at RB, but they are terrible at D. Then got another good defensive player in the second round when they drafted DeMeco Ryans. In the third round, the filled the o-line needs by drafting Chris Spencer at G and Eric Winston at T.\n\nThe team that will benefit the most are the Texans. They filled their needs and now have massivly improved the team.\n\nI think Daniel Manning of the Chicago Bears, drafted 42 overall, will improve and eventually become one of the best CBs in the NFL. As a OSU fan, it's hard for me to say this, but here it comes, Santonio Holmes has reached his peak. He is a good player, but he is just not the type that strikes me as no. 1 or 2 reciever.


glorify oversexed whorish behavior. showing girls you will be desired and worthy in the celebrity circles if you put your genitailia before your selfworth?

It's not just black girls, it's girls of all races. But I do understand the messages through some rap videos...but you have to understand, this is purely commercial, what's worse is that the girls are buying it, through the cost of their self-esteem and worth.  It's just not in music videos, it's in the daily media too.


Don't say to be different from the australian flag because the NZ flag was invented before the australian flag

The colour makeup of the stars (which represent the points of the southern cross) reflects that of the Union Jack. Red interior with white borders on a blue background.\n\nIf you refer back to the maritime origins of the NZ flag you will see that this has invariably been the case. Prior to the current flag, there was a flag that included the letters NZ in the bottom right hand corner (no stars); these letters were also in red with a white border. Additionally, a prior 'signalling' flag consisted of four red stars on a white disc.


Patient had Kaposis sarcoma thirty years ago that was treated with radiotherapy. Reoccured recently and given state of the art chemotherapy,but ulcer contnues to spread.P patient has lyphoedema of the leg after radiotherapy. Will a graft take if vascular situation adequate

Has the patient been treated in any way for lymphedema?  Lymphedema that is untreated can cause venous statis ulcers.  The patient should see a lymphedema therapist and possibly a wound treatment center or wound specialist.  If neither are available in the area, an infectious disease doctor.  The treatment for lymphedema would be complete/complex decongestive therapy which is made up of manual lymph drainage, compression, skin care, and specific exercises to promote lymph flow.  The manual lymph drainage therapy is similiar to a medical massage, it's bodywork that specifically focus's on moving the stagnant fluid to circulate and be transmitted out of the body.  It feels like a massage.  Sometimes skin grafts are done in extreme circumstances but being conservative first is better simply due to the risk of infection, and now since the patient has lymphedema, any surgery puts him/her at further risk for more areas of lymphedema.  When you say the ulcer spreads, if it looks the least bit infected, cellulitis may be present, the patient would need strong antibiotics, possibly IV in hospital or at home.  Infection must be cleared up in order to start lymph drainage therapy.  If you need help in finding a treatment center or therapist, you may email me from my website below and I will help you find one.


...then I am looked down upon by those preaching tolerance. Shouldn't they be more tolerant of my views?

I've found that those who teach "tolerance" tend to be some of the most intolerant people on earth. Their message is self-contradictory. Love is better than so-called tolerance, and love should be unconditional. Love can tell someone their wrong, strongly dissagree with them, and still go and pray for them for good. The "tolerance" preached by many nowadays is and lacks love, and tends to let someone ignorantly run in front of a car, and not warn them for the sake of "tolerance". I certainly hope that if I was doing something stupid that could get me hurt or killed, and someone saw me, they would have enough love in their hearts to warn me! Telling someone they are wrong is not the same as forcing your beliefs on someone. I advice those who believe in tolerance to be more tollerant of people who tell them they are wrong about something- we do not have the right not to be dissagreed with!


i called my man last night and asked him if we could do something this weekend and he called me back this morning and said ya we can kick it at my house and he asked me if i was just going to kick it or spend a night see we havent had sex yet and i wanted  to know did he asked me to spend a night to spend time with me or so we could do somehting?

The best thing to do is ask him.  If you have been open with him about your wanting to wait or whatever it should be no problem, that is if he is a good man.  If he is after sex, he will become offensive.

Do you fully understand all the workings of the problem itself, how it affects health care, taxes, social security, car/home insurance, our school systems, our 'national security'(somewhat of a joke but important anyway) our neighborhoods and the labor industry, to name a few? Bush is bending over backwards to appease the immigrants and their families, because it means cheap labor for businesses and big bucks for him and his friends, at the cost of the American people's pocketbooks and education. They may cost us more than that in the long run, however.

I have no problem with legal immigrants, they make America well...America. However, illegal immigrants are clearly breaking the laws and should be treated as such. But, what makes me most upset is that they break the law and are given benefits that citizens are not even given. This is not fair, they are stealing from America.

if you can't call her and have no way of asking her directly then go to yahoo's people search and put in her info, if she has an account through yahoo you will find it easily. if she does not have a yahoo account but you know where her account was from, try a people search there. hope this helps.


If you consolidate your credit with a company that is out there, you get a mark on your credit report similar to that of a bankruptcy. Plus, most of them are so disorganized that they will end up making late payments for you, and your debtors will still blame you for it. \n\nPlus, when you consolidate, it doesn't make the debt go away, it just moves it. \n\nIt is better to set up a "debt snowball." List your debts smallest to largest. Make minimum payments on everything except the smallest. Put as much as you can into that one. When that is paid off, take what you were paying on that one and attack the next one.


Did Mary, the mother of Jesus, marry Joseph?  And did they have any kids?  Please provide quotes from scripture to back this up.  Also mention what version of the bible you are using.  Would be most interested in hearing what Catholics have to say on the matter, but all responses are welcome

No she did NOT. Mary was only pledged to be married to Joseph.\n\nMary was a person conceived without original sin as she was the chosen one to bear the Son of God. \n\nMary & Joseph did not have any physical relationship. So before Mary & Jospeh came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. \n\nYou can read the whole Holy Bible. Every thing is written and happened under the name of Lord Jesus, the Son of God. Even in the old tesimony God has indirectly told about the birth of the Christ.\n\nAccording to my knowledge, You are an anti-christian and placed this question here to insult Virgin Mary, the Mother of God and make fun of the Catholics with the anti-christ answers.\n\nIt doesn't matter if you believe or not, people answer possitively or negatively....the Truth is "Truth". No one can change it. \n\nMay the Blessed Mother pary to God for you that God may enlighten your mind to understand the truth.


if your father is drunk and running outside threatening to harm your mother and other bystanders in an apartment complex with a baseball bat what would you do? I called the police on him and put him in jail. Hes out, but and now sober. Today he really guilted me for having him arrested back when I was 19 (today I am 22). So tell me what you think? Be serious, be honest.

You did the right thing.  Your father on the hand was in the wrong and placed you in a horrible situation and by your choice you protected your mother.  Sad, but your father should have been protecting the both of you rather than you having to protect yourselves from him.  Don't let him guilt you, it is his own shame he must deal with not you dear.


i had win98 on my pc i put win me on it i had 32 bit color now i only got 16 bit color and it is on board card what can i do to fix this

Try a new resolution\nFrench painter Georges Seurat was ahead of his time. He painted whole landscapes out of tiny, individual dots. More than 100 years later, computer monitors follow the same principle. Everything on your monitor is made up of thousands of small dots of shade and color known as pixels.\n\nThe size at which text and graphics appear on your screen is determined by the number of pixels you select for your monitor, which is also known as the resolution. Your monitor's resolution measures the number of pixels across your screen by the number of pixels down—usually 640 x 480, 800 x 600, or 1024 x 768. If you choose a high resolution, elements will appear smaller on your screen, but you'll see wider and farther down a page without scrolling. Conversely, at a low resolution things will look larger, and you won't see as far across or down a document. It's easy to change the screen resolution, so you can experiment to see which setting works best for you.\n\nReaching a resolution\nIf you're comfortable when you look at your screen, your monitor's resolution is right for you. If, however, you have a hard time seeing words or icons on the screen, you might be more comfortable setting your desktop to a lower resolution, which will make everything larger. If you look at your computer and feel like you’ve landed back in nursery school, you might want to switch to a higher resolution to shrink things down to their normal size.\n\nHere's how to change your screen resolution:\n\nClick Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. \nIn the Control Panel window, click the Display icon, and then click the Settings tab. \nIn the Screen area, move the slider left or right with your mouse. (Left will give you a lower resolution; right, a higher resolution.) When you’ve reached the setting you want, click Apply. \nThe Display Properties dialog box will appear and explain that your monitor may flicker. Click OK ito continue. \nIf you like the new settings, click Yes to keep your new settings. If you don’t, click No and your old settings will return.


my husband was followed home by some lady because apparently he was zigzagging on the road.  She called the cops on him.  He was already parked behind our building and out of the car fixing a belt that was loose.  The cops accused him of being drunk; my husband asked for a breath test which the cops refused to give.  Took him to the emergency room instead where he had all kinds of testing done bringing a hospital bill of $3,000.  The labs showed no alcohol, but had some positive for barbiturates and benzos; he was taking for pain.  He was given 2 tickets; drunken driver and rekless driver.  He went to court but judje changed date because they did not get the results from the lab. Can they have access to his labs?

apparently, the court CAN have access to your husband's labs..but, not until they issue an order to see it. As for tge billing, i believe you should file a counter case against the woman who followed your husband home (if you know who she is) she's too much of a busybody to report something she doesn't know about.  Besides..no one was hurt. ;) She should have just seen to it that no one is REALLY hurt.

Why are you playing with or pressing your belly button to begin with?!?...So you cannot blame us if we are thinking the way we are!....Were you cleaning your belly button?  If so, then I can understand.  There are nerve endings there almost like the bottoms of some folks feet.  Some are ticklish there and some are not!


i have a very analytical mind which ultimately leads me to confusion

meditation is very helpful for that... read about tibetan buddhism.  It tends to activate the right brain and synchronize the parts of the brain...other than that, enjoy your analytical mind.  If you look at this site, you are obviously in a minority.  Find a vocation where you can use it!

Do we still encourage people to become great authors still?

It would be nice to see some more great authors, but even back during Twain's time, I'm not sure how popular his writing was.  These days, it's mostly about the money and selling as many copies as possible.


I am twenty years old and don't really find any interest in dating, or getting into any type of relationship.  I have plenty of friends, although I am a bit of a hermit (curse you computer!).  I just enjoy programming and playing video games, is there something wrong with me?  Do Think I will be alone forever?

You'll meet the right person wether you're into dating or not. There isn't anything wrong with you, I don't much take any interest in dating either, Although I'm only 13. (well i'll be 14 May 1st). But I don't find it very enjoyable. I enjoy just sitting around on the computer most the day and leaving for school and church, There's nothing wrong with you. Or there would be something wrong with me too. So it's ok, You wont be alone forever unless it's meant in gods eyes for you to be. Which I don't think that's so cause god made man and women to be togather. So you wont be alone forever, just have faith. All things are done through god. oh, and Good Luck finding your true love.


Not, political nicknames. I am looking for the official secret service givan nicknames. In the Tom Clancy novels, the President and his family and The VP and his family are given individual nicknames. I would like to see how real nicknames compare.

The Chinese have the numbers, if they ally with the Mexicans, who also have numbers and location.... I one hundred years I see these two finding more in common than now and I see them ruling the world with the USA as a source of labor.


hi \nI was working at a place .A guy from middle mgmt used to observe my moves.My parents don't want me to approach as i am not sure .I have left that place ..Should he be approached.What would men advice me

If he was your supervisor, you did the best thing.\nBut it's possible he was only interested in you, and flirting with you that way. Although you could risk approaching him, and asking him his motive, with out\nsounding hostile (even if it's a different guy, instead).\nI some times flirt by watching girls, harmlessly. Unfortunately, that's all I do.

my brother lives in Liberty,Texas, he is growing a veg garden and is watering it with overflow from his septic tank? Could a person get sick eating veg.from his garden?\nPlease give me your feedback.\n\n\nthanks

Yes, you can become deathly ill! The bacteria in human waste can cause a multitude of health issues! E Coli is the first one that comes to mind! If I were you I would not eat anything out of his garden and would convince him not to either! It is amazing he hasn't killed himself yet!\n\nDid you know that people who empty septic tanks are required to wear face masks at all times and sign papers because of the health risks??


I need to know what other people think is there fav song it can b country, rap, hip hop, r&b etc... so please help me out.


if the human soul comes back or what happens after death, do any life exists, if yes! how and where. if no!, why,  your answers should be with reasons.

h ah ah a.. the first answer really made me laff alot...i mean what when jesus christ was not around(no offences meant here for the lord) and what abt the animals and other living beings...what a stupidest of ideas ...anyways to answer ur question let's think abt it objectivley... my answer would be yes...b'coz this whole universe is a cycle...it's about changing forms....so ur physical part is definitely going to take some other form and i hope u don't doubt it since matter cannot be created nor destroyed unless of course u take into consideration the concept of antimatter .... which if comes into scenario(as it will at the end of this yuga or kalpa( see for further reference at wikipedia)) is going to "again" reduce everything to "0" well as for ur spiritual being i.e. ur soul(if u believe in it...if u don't then how do u explain the difference in thoughts and behaviour of ppl) if it's liberated and not bound by limits which ur mind puts up then u'll attain "nirvana" or "moksha"(or a state of no change or maybe total power or total annihilation of self in which u cease to exist anymore....or maybe total freedom :)) which is not too easy....\nin case u desire or are bound by desires then yes u will be reborn...according to aryan philosophy(u must go thru the philosophy part sometime) there are 8400000 species of living forms on earth in which the human life is only capable of performing action or "karma" and through this action it may liberate the self from the "cycle"(of birth and rebirth or change) ....pretty complex to understand at first but u'll feel it if u try everyday....so yes life after death does exist ...as death is nothing but a change bound to happen; a door to another realm of existence....\n\never wondered what's the source of ur thoughts and why ur dog can't really think up things as good as u ...or why the cockroach does not stop eating the soap bar and may be go on a sail????\n\n:) hope it helps... \nbye...\nregards \nvivek


A lot of the reason that it is so well thought of is because it has become the basis for so many love stories.  Many current films, books, etc carry the themes from Romeo and Juliet\n\nExamples:  The Notebook, Brokeback Mountain


What do you know about the motion of an object that has an average speed 1m/s?\nBe serious people, it's for my 7th grade Physics Homework!\nI'm so far covered velocity, motion, and speed; that's it!

Tthe moving object (mass) travels a distance of one meter in one second and that is an average velocity;that means the speed was not constant as it was moving. So dividing the distance travelled by the period of time traveled would give you only the average velocity.\nThe proof of this was given by a frenchman by the name Paris.\n\n However the final velocity would be twice the average velocity which would be two meters per seconds.dont feel bad I learned that in the 8th grade.


It differs from person to person.\nMathematics is more interesting for me.\nYou know better whats good for you. So, don't listen to others and do what you feel like doing.\nAfter all its the question of your career.\nSo why take chances?\n\nBest of Luck!


Why universities aks about substantial english writing during high school curriculum, is there any difference with other tipes of english leves?

Primarily universities ask prospective students about the extent of report style writing they have experienced at secondary school (or high school if you are American) so that the universities can gauge whether students have the requisite skills in writing demanded by the degree course.\n\nHigher education invariably involves a substantial amount of detailed writing.  Students who have studied subjects at high school that do not demand much writing may find the demands of the degree essay writing difficult.\n\nIf you have studied subjects such as literature, history, geography and the sciences then I am sure you will have no problem.

you may be dealing with "right" triangles, but you don't identify the angle that is 90, so your question is bout impossible to answer. this type of question usually involves  \na squared + b squared = c squared (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) where a and b are the 'legs' of the triangle in question. (the two 'legs' of a right triangle make the 90 degree corner) :)

My roomate and I have a 2 bedroom apartment. The people in the front office knowing he wouldnt qualify with his credit said he could "sign" the lease later. Now 5 months into the lease, we both have found jobs in other states and wish to move. Is the lease invalid because he didnt sign it? OR do I at least have some leverage with management since he neer signed it?

The fact that he didn't sign the lease doesn't invalidate the lease.  If yours is the only name on the lease then you are entirely responsible for it.  He would be considered a "sub-tenant" under you.\n\nSince both of you wish to move I suggest that you speak to the landlord.  You may be able to negotiate your way out of the balance of the lease in return for a payment such as one month of rent.  But you're not going to have any negotiating leverage based on the fact that your roommate didn't sign the lease.

Everything is Connected.  \n\nWhen I first heard this I thought how dumb, but then you really think about it, everything really is connected.  For example, you go grocery shopping, before you can put the food away you need to clean the refrigerator, then straighten the cabinets.  Then the garbage can is full and you need to empty the garbage, then the dirty containers from the refrigerator need washing, but the dishwasher is full.  You have to put the clean dishes away before you can put the dirty ones in the washer.  It just goes on and on...


I want to know how it apply's to immigerents to this country

14th. Amendment \nto the U.S. Constitution \n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nSection 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. \n\nSection 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age,(See Note 15) and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. \n\nSection 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. \n\nSection 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void. \n\nSection 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.


My husband is currently in Iraq and we are working on deciding where to request to be stationed when he comes home. We live in Pennsylvania. My parents also live in Pennsylvania and his family lives in Kentucky. The closest base to us is Fort Drum which is four hours away, but we want to get away from the snow. I am trying to get any information I possibly can on Fort Knox. I don't care if you think it's the most insignificant piece of information as long as it's something. Please help!

I was stationed at Ft. Knox for Basic Training in 1975, and again for a year in 1976-77.  Ft. Knox itself is a beautiful post with a lot of modern ammenities.  \n\nOutside the main gate is the town of Radcliffe, KY, a typical GI town with one BIG exception; it's in a dry county - no alcohol!  However, Ft. Knox has one of the best NCO clubs I'd seen in the 12 years I was in the Army.\n\nDrinking aside, this is a very pretty part of Kentucky.  It's about 30 miles from Louisville, which is, of course, a major city.  To the south of Ft. Knox, about 12 miles or so is Elizabethtown, KY where you can get some of the best food from some of the best restaurants in the state.\n\nIt does get cold there; I took basic in January, and believe me, it can get cold.  But, I'm originally from the midwest - Kentucky is a lot more moderate than CLeveland, Chicago or NY winters.  \n\nAll in all, its a pretty nice, quiant southern yet cosmopolitan area.  Ireland Irmy Hospital is there, and is one of the best hospitals in the Army.  There are plenty of bowling alleys and theaters on post, so there's plenty to do.  And one of the best things to do is to go visit the Patton Museum on post.  It's really interesting.\n\nEnjoy your stay there - I wish I were going back for awhile!  The Las Vegas desert gets old at times!  Y'all have fun, ya'hear?\n\nPS: Tell your Husband for the rest of us "Thank you!"


My partner and i have been together for 4 and 1/2 years and he is in need of a full coverage insurance for his university.  we wanted to try doing it together if at all possible.

i am a single mom who lives with her best friend who is also here boyfriend. i fight with my boyfriend everyday almost but on the other hand we truely are bestfriendsand enjoy each others company its just we disagree on stupid things. are difference are so strong i dont know if they can be worked out.i dont have a car and i have a ten month old son. should i stay with him or not. i could go live with my mom but she drives me crazy telling me how to raise my son. iam only nineteen what should i do?

pick and choose your battles. life is too short to bicker over ridiculous sh*t. when he is being an a** kill him with kindness or act like you can't be bothered with his silly commentary. problem is you all are around each other 24/7 and you'll drive each other nuts no matter how compatible. if you can be be apart for several hours out of the day or go stay at your mom's over nite it'll make you all miss each other and realize the good things about each other. but seriously you need to get some wheels and get your independence back! that'll make a huge difference!good luck!

I've seen this many times.  Before opening a soft drink can, people go tap-tap-tap on the top of the can, usually with their fingernail.  What's that about?  Superstition?  Trying to reduce bubbles (if so, how could this possibly have any effect)?  Just one of life's little questions.  I hope someone can answer.

exactly the same question was asked on brainiac, i was able to see it and it doesnt do anything tapping a soda can is useless\n\nhttp://www.g4tv.com/brainiac/episodes/4816/Episode_21_What_is_Faster.html\n\nhere a few links with tests of that question\nhttp://www.nerdygirl.com/sodascience.php\n\nquote : Based on the data we've collected (see Table 1), it seems certain that tapping has virtually no effect on the amount of foam one can expect from a soda can. The data in the Table 1 supports this -- you will notice, actually, that there is frequently more foam in the tapped cans than in the untapped cans.\nhttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000024\nquote: Most people have learned to tap the top of the can before opening it. Scientifically speaking, THIS DOES NOTHING! However, tapping the side of the can knocks bubbles off the bottom and sides of the can, at which point they rise to the top. The trick is to dislodge the bubbles from the sidewalls and bottom of the can so they can float to the top of the can (because gas is lighter than liquid) and there is only a small amount of liquid blocking their escape when you open the can. Remember, SNAP the SIDE instead of tapping the top.\n\nas you can see it is scientifically proved that it is uselles :-)\n\nhttp://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/gen01/gen01124.htm\nmore proof\nand you will find even more if you search for : tapping soda can\nhope you like this answer\n\n:-)

Song starts with the first verse I lost my reputation when I turned my back on sin. Alot of friends went with it when I let my savior in. Now they pass me by unnoticed where they once passed with a smile they say I am very foolish and they say I am out of style. I am marked, marked, marked by his spirit divine I am marked marked and I know that he is mine. Then it goes on to talk about the day at penecost.

Okay for this one you can go to any of the more popular downloading music sites such as WinMx, Kazaa, Kazaa Lite, or my personal favorite and always used, LimeWire. There is of course Napster if you want to pay for it eventually. Try Ask.com who the band is that sung the song. They may lead youto other sites.

Does the addition of a catalyst force a nonspontaneous reaction to become spontaneous? Explain.

No, it will merely lower the activation energy required by the reaction allowing it to proceed.  It won't actually make the reaction spontaneous.  Spontaneous implies that the reaction does not require any outside influence which would negate the need for a catalyst. ;-}


I only have contact to her through email.  She lives states away, and my parents don't know her.

You can pray for her. Make sure that she knows tha you are there for her. Be a really good friend to her. Maybe you could talk to her on the phone a little. Maybe she could get some help, it could be from you, God, other friends, or even a counselor


If youve never seen this.... At a certain part of the movie the actors are walking past some curtains when you look back there is a riffle placed againsted the curtains.

I know someone who wants to be with me (sex) but i dont know what to do he is 43 and im 20 and he's my sugar daddy. So I don't know what to do :-(.

Some idiots will tell you it is gross, or wrong bla bla bla. Most of the world the bride is way younger than the groom. And did you know the average age of consent in the world is 16? Make you wonder why a** backwards Uncle Sam can even talk. If you are cool with Mr Sugar Daddy and he is cool with you. Why not? Maybe HE doesn't feel like a "sugar daddy" but a loving man spoiling his woman. I would. And the age of my woman would not determine how much I spoiled her. Better use what Mother Nature gave you before Father Time takes it away. And when he does he hardly gives it back. What do you want to do? Be with someone the idiots can be comfortable with because it offends them to see a hot young lady like yourself sucking face with someone they only see as "Gramps". If you date some young buck to satify them are they going to purchase for you what this older gentleman wants to buy you? I think not. I'd tell them to go take a flying f***. If you like him a lot or even love him and guilty about what he does for you, you can tell him that you do not need it or take it and donate it to a hospice or something. If you don't like or love him, but feel guilty of using him, then walk away. BUT only do it for YOU, not the idiots. When the lights are out, who can tell how old a person is? If he can get it to rise, I hardly think you can tell when its inside you if it is 20yr phallus or a 55yr old phallus. If it works, it works. enjoy it and the goodies outside the bedroom. Better to be in a Jag with an older man then driving a 15yr old bucket with some young buck who most likely will dump you when he gets bored or the next hot gal comes along.


Someone downloaded a wallpaper for the computer awhile ago, and now, after I changed it, the same picture still apears everytime I startup and shutdown.\n\nI have a compaq with Windows ME.\n\nAny ideas would be greatly apreciated.\nThanks.

First problem: You are running on Windows Me edition, quite possibly the worst opperating system ever, right after Windows 98.  Switch to Linux or even Windows XP Professional.\n\nSecond, this sounds more like a virus.  You may want to check for Addware or Spyware on your computer if the background keeps reverting. \n\nI suggest Spy Sweeper by Webroot.  There is a 14 day trial, and after there is a monthly fee.  It is a great program, which is worth every penny!  www.webroot.com


The question is:\nA boy is 17 years old and his sister is twice as old.  When the boy is 23 years old, what will be the age of his sister?\n\nThe answer is:  40

The sister does not age at an exponential rate.\n\nBasically, the sister is seventeen years older than her brother, right?  She won't be twice as old as him forever--just that one year! \n\nAnother, easier, example:  older sister is 4, younger sister is 2.  The older sister is twice as old as the younger sister.  The next year, the younger sister will be 3, and the older sister will be 5.  Is the older sister still twice as old?  Of course not! \n\nSo, when the boy is 23, the sister will still be 17 years older.  23+17=40.\n\nThe "twice as old" thing is just there to confuse you.  The question could have easily read:  A boy is 17 years old and his sister is 17 years older than he.  When the boy is 23 years old, what will be the age of his sister.

How long does it take to heal and what are good rehab exercises I can do?

When I broke my ankle I broke the growth bone and it took 3 months 2 heal. My doctor had me do circles w/ my foot when I got my cast off for a few more months. It all depends on what bone you broke in your ankle your doctor will tell you what to do and how long.

Why can't people just be happy?  why do we let things get to us?  WHy is it that there are things that can make you forget all of your problems, and genuinely make you feel like your worth a damn?  Why even bother, if everything sucks.

Human beings thrive on interaction with others.  We want others to accept us & feel discouraged if we are rejected; the key to happiness is to love yourself, and find inner acceptance with who you are.  \n\nThings happen to us so we can learn from them, so we can our own inner strength.  I have a friend who is from Cambodia, who was born during the Khmer Rouge; he is an extraordinary person.  Some people who go through terrible things have great inner strength.


Does anyone here love Rascal Flatts??  How Bout their new CD...??

Let's recap, shall we?  bush went to war to free the Iraqis from an evil dictator -- "Operation Iraqi Frredom". First he claimed Saddam had WMD, then, once WMD claim was disproved, it was "liberating Iraq". OK, so now we're worried over Iran's WMD, the next major crisis. Now, let's pan down to Darfur, where we see hundreds of THOUSANDS of people being killed under an evil regime, happening since way before 2002.\n\nCan anyone provide a clear, cogent justification as to why we did not send troops into Darfur rather than Iraq? Why did Cheney and Wolfowitz  fail to gather intel on this imminent crisis back in 2003? And if they did have intel then in light of the justification for the Iraq invasion what is the excuse for choosing Iraq and not Sudan?

Ask your average Merikun dough-brain "What do you think about what's happening in Darfur Province in Sudan?" and they will most likely get that befuddled look you sometimes see on a slow child's face when someone brings up the subject of algebra...and if it isn't blazing across the crawl on FOXNEWS the people in charge DON'T CARE! It took two years to drag Clinton into Kosovo and Bosnia, maybe it will only take three to drag Bush into Darfur... it's a touchy situation though, the region is heavily populated by Muslims.... Wouldn't it be seen as just more American arrogance butting it's way into an internal conflict where we have no business? Wouldn't it create even more hatred of America in the Arab world if we barged into Sudan with an armed force, whether or not we called them PeaceKeepers? I see no easy solution to what's currently happening in Sudan. It's very reminiscent of the Hutu Vs. Tutsi conflict in Rwanda a few years back. Hardly anybody in America gave a $hiT back then and we weren't at war with terrorists then. Our military strength is already being stretched thin in Iraq... why should we worry about some poor African people who we DON'T see on T.V. every night? Sometimes the right thing to do isn't necessarily the smart thing to do if you're name is America.

Every human being is priceless. What I mean by priceless is that every human being cannot have a price because they're so important to this world that they cannot have one. They're too valuable.

I hate Paris I hope she is next Chris should win what do ya think?

Kelli was sweet but she couldn't sing as well as the remaining contestants.  Sadly, her last song was terrible.  But I like her spirit and her spunk.  I was impressed when she said she's finally reached a point in her life where she's not ashamed of where she came from.  I believe her being on AI will launch her into a life she never imagined.  Contestants don't need to win AI to make big changes in their lives.\n\nEdited to add:  I was afraid Kelli was going to be another Carrie Underwood--AI forcing another dumb blonde on us.  Thankfully, AI gave us a break from the pretty dumb blonde contestants this year and let Kelli go early!
