GT=t*log2/logb-logB\n\nif i have the data of OD for logb and OD for logB, and i know the duration between b and B..so i shall be able to get the generation time, right...my teacher says it has to be the case that B is twice of b...does it have to be? .....(i am confused..am i making any sense..)

Actually, your teacher is wrong.  It all depends on the growth phase of the bacterial culture.   There are 3 phases in the growth of a bacterial culture; the lag phase, the log phase, and the stationary phase.  The lag phase is exactly what it describes...the bacteria divide veeeeerrrryyy slowly.  In simple terms, this is mainly due to low amounts of certain "growth signals".  It usually takes bacteria several hours to get out of lag phase and into log phase.  \n\nLog phase is the stage where the bacteria are dividing at a constant rate.  This is when you're going to take measurements for the growth rate.  Say, for example, that your cells have a doubling time of 1hr.  So if your beginning OD is 0.8 your end OD after an hour would be 1.6.  In this case B is twice b.  However using the same example, if we grow for 2 hours instead of 1, you've gone thorugh 2 doubling times and the final OD would be 3.2 verses 0.8 (B is 4x b).  So the relation between b and B is strictly dependant on the time (which is why "t" is a component of the equation) and growth rate of the cells.\n\nThe final phase of bacterial growth is the stationary phase.  This is where the number of bacteria increases to such a high density that further division is inhibited (by physical limitations such as nutrients, pH, cell/cell inhibition, etc) and the growth substatially slows.\n\nI hope this clearly answers your question.


I am curious because it's an interesting psychological study to see what makes people tick on this issue. Do you look forward more to the kissing, touching, petting and licking or the actual penetration itself, or both perhaps?\n\nAnd thanks for your time and feedback, but please keep it tasteful and classy. I'm not necessarily looking for TMi, just a general feeling on the overall subject.

Think of it in this way...\n\nMen are like microwaves.....ready in seconds.  Women are more like ovens....takes us a while to get warm and ready. \n\nForeplay is very important because it gets us ready for sex/penetration.  If you cook a cake for 20 minutes, it appears done, but not fully cooked.   \n\nAlthough we enjoy oral sex, that is not all I want during foreplay.  I want lots of kisses, caressing and my body explored by touch.  All of those men recognize as foreplay, but for women, foreplay begins way before the bedroom.  It also includes intimate conversations and the small things that make us smile because you were thinking of us.


Hopefully soon im gettin tired of seeing Vince Mc Mahon every week running his trap

It started happening yesterday. It's an annoying sound. When I minimize the screen, it no longer makes the noise. Please help

you need to reinstall your sound system.\n\nusally it soundmax or something. Its on your Dell Accessories disc (if you have a dell).\n\nthe bleep is is the only sound a computer knows how to make.


There is this ugly girl I work with and she keeps talking to me as if were friends or something. I only talk to her if I have to but other than that I don't want to talk to her. The problem is we work at the same station and since I love my station I don't want to move and the boss just transferred over to mine because she is good at what she does there. Usually I like to talk to everyone, I'm a guy who is friends with everyone but I don't want to be friends with an ugly girl. She has never had a boyfriend either, I know this because her friend works at our station as well and they were talking about it. She's depressed about guys being mean to her all the time.\nShe should just get over herself, she deserves it for being ugly. I think she likes me too because she looks at me a lot and touches me. I just got out of a long term relationship though so I don't want to date anyone any way.\nHow do I get rid of this ugly girl? She's 19 (kind pathetic she's never had a bf) and I'm 21.

wow, your quite a jerk\n\njust remember, there was probably a girl you liked that was upset everytime you tried to talk to her becuase she didnt like something about you.\n\nbe nice to the girl.  ugly or not...girls have friends.  and friends talk.\n\noh, and by the way.  her beautiful friend may stop by one day and ask about you.  do you want her to say that your a jerk or that your such a nice guy...let me introduce you


I have a 20.63 in Spanish... I need to bring that up to an A. It's the beginning of the last nine weeks in school. How much do you think 100 points will bring me up?  thanks

we need more information.  We don't need your average--we need to know how many total points you have and how many possible points there are, so we know how much weight to give the 100 points.


Mascot names at the college or pro level were never intended to be an insult... it's only in today's ridiculously politically-correct environment that anyone has found fault with these names, many of which have been around for 100 years or more... I can't speak for all high schools, I know there has been controversy at that level regarding some team names...\n\nHere in Florida, the Florida State mascot is, of course, the Seminole... some idiot in Washington decides that this is racist, and some politician in Florida demands to change the name... turns out that the Seminole tribe themselves are honored to have the Florida State teams named after them, so the name is still intact... \n\nBut a lot of teams have changed their names... the St. John's "Red Storm" were called "The Redmen" until sometime in the '90s.\nSyracuse used to be called "The Orangemen", now they're just "The Orange".\n\nIt's absolutely ridiculous.\n\nNow of course, every year you'll see 'protests' about the Washington Redskins name, or the Cleveland Indians, or the Atlanta Braves... \n\nI'm black, and people have said to me, wouldn't you be insulted if a team was called the Nig***s or something like that.. and the answer is "yes, of course that would be insulting, but NO ONE HAS EVER DONE THAT, AND NO ONE EVER WILL".    NO ONE is going to name a team with a term for the express purpose of insulting someone... team names are chosen to honor someone or something... \n\nAnyone who thinks these names were chosen for the purpose of insulting 'native' Americans is an idiot.


address bar NOW requires the typing in of the http://??  Of course, it didn't use to be that way.  withough typing the http, it goes nowhere.  Checked for virus and adware.

Go to control panel, internet options|advanced tab and restore default button, then close IE and open it again, you might able to work like before.\nIf still not working, uninstall Internet explorer by going to control panel, add/remove programs, uninstall IE from windows components, then get to the web to get IE 6 back, then you will work as before.


I am 21, and want to open a club and was wonering if grants are really legit

It is hard to find grants to start a business, especially for starting a club. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

There are no penalties or interest charges if you do not file your taxes by April 17, 2006 when you have a refund coming or due you.  You have three years to file that return or forfeit your right to the refund, so I guess that would be a repercussion.  If you don't file the return within 3 years of the due date, you lose your refund!


Apparently all races can be classified as negro, caucasian or mongoloid.  Aborigines, like Maoris, Native Americans etc are descended from oriental people originally and these are generally known as new world mongoloids. But considering the fact that the aborigines have existed for 30 000 years and don't have mongoloid characteristics, which of the categories should they be in?

classifying human beings in races is stupid and not scientific. the three main groups of negro, caucasian and mongoloids were used by anthropologists anciently but have no longer any scientific value. some countries adopt them as a form of description of their citizens but its not correct to talk about "races". in fact a central european, looking "caucasian", might have a greater genetic affinity (similar DNA) with a black african that, say, with another central european of celtic origin. this even if the looks would suggest the opposite. \nanyways, following the classification u suggest, australian aborigenes, together with melanesians, would be classified as "negro", maoris as "mongoloid", and polynesians as "caucasian"...this shows how bad  and wrong the classification is.


Why it is everyone is so banshing on age and sex??  I mean teen these days drink and do drugs, party and have sex so how is it that anyone can come in here and say if u have underage sex with someone  u need to be mentally teasted thats its so wrong or gross.  But yet teens can go out and drink and do drugs and its fine, im realy sick of this age bashing.  Yes if u are touched and your a minor then tell someone if ur both minors who cares and if ur a minor and adult touches you whats that mean.  I  know girls that are like 16 and 17 and have bf like 18 19 and are having sex so is that so wrong.  As long as you both conscent to it whats the big deal?

Can we really talk about consent sex between  16 year-old girl and 40 year-old man? Psychologically speaking both are not in the same level of communication. Besides, there is unbalance of power. the problem is no that teens are having sex among themselves. The problem is when grown-up enter into the game. Would you like to see your 15 year-old daughter in relationship with a 50 year-old man?


Some say you can and some say you can't Just wondering that is all..

He can definately c*m inside you and YOU not know it, but he will deffinately know it. Can you trust him?


omg! mine did too! thats so sick...he kept on calling on me in class.. i had to sit in the first row! he made me be partners with this one nerd...so that i could jus to tell him that he is pissen me off! he was talkin about condoms in class! he was demonstrating this experiment...like a bag over a stick..and he made me hold it...i was like Hell No!

how do the iron industry make iron after diging it up?

Back in the day (Aztecs), kings would have themselves a iron dagger made from a 'magic source'.  The Gods would send a flaming ball of it to the Earth to reward the kings.  Redirect:  Natural metallic iron is not typically found, so people have to use smelts to get it.  There are other sources on here that other people answered but I thought I would share this additional info.


I really like this guy in two of my classes. We didn't really talk at first but then we got new seats and he started sitting beside me in english. Everytime we would do a partner thing he would say "I'm with u! Ur smart!" Is that a way of flirting or is that juss wanting a good grade? Also, he will juss randomly bring up that he's been single 4 7 months, but then he tells me he still likes his ex-gf and someone else. Everytime we play a game where you have to chose someone and then have them guess who it was, he picks me. Does he like me or is he juss a good friend????

I say play it cool and wait.. Always let the guys make the first move! You just sit back and relax. No stress if he doesnt, no stress if he does. Just Chill! Love Heidi

i don't know... maybe i'm a little bit desperate. OMG..

attend on any invitation of friends if there's any invites. interact with other people, share stories or jokes maybe, get to know them more about their names, life's status if they're working or studying...stuff like that...you could also meet some new people esp. guys at gym...enroll yourself & be friends with them. well, it takes time for you to know what kind of person a guy you like is. don't rush everything. get to know the person well...just enjoy\neach & everyone's company...


I am just wandering why at the age of 34, i still cud not find somebody to spend the rest of my life with. I'm 34, 5 ft tall,and fair skinned. Laid back person and proud.

Am sorry for that, but all u need u to do is dat, u must not proud of yaself and u must be the person that can endure and u must also be tolerant, so that u will get the right man for yourself and u must also be vigilant so that u will not fall in love wit eat and run guys. Because Marriage is not temporary thing is permanent and it's a bad thing 2 move out of one marriage and move into another one as if u are changing cloth, It's very nefarious, so think and study the man u will fall in love wit before agree with him that u will marry him, I wish u best of luck.


I own 50% of a salon. The partnership is bad. We are due for mediation May. Sometime between sun.& mon. someone(s) broke in thru the back door. There are 16 rooms w/ doors. The stylist are independent contractors, rents their room & collects their own money. The damage was to the coke machine  bills were taken from the changer . however the change was left.Several doors were damaged & few doorknobs. This is odd because the walls are about 7 ft & could have been jumped over to get into the rooms. Only 1 boombox was taken. The rooms weren't ranshacked . It just seem strange that if someboddy(s) took to the effort - why didn't they take any products, equip.,or fixtures etc..There wasn't any mirrors shattered.  Doors are easy to replace. I'm worried that maybe this has to do with the medation , trying to make me sell out.what do you think? what should I do? Do you think it could have been an Inside job?

A burgler wants to get in, grab stuff as quickly as possible and then get out.  They generally won't ransack the place unless it's part of the search. The last thing they want is to be discovered, so it's quick quick quick, grab something of value, (enough to get a fix usually) and then get out.\n\nI can't rule it out but there doesn't seem to be anything particularly unusual in the behaviour you describe.


I can only use the plain text. How do I fix this/.???????

Change the setting to HTML or Rich Text should let you do graphics (in BMP format) and color text.

How old do you have to be to buy diet pills? Are there any I can buy being under 18?

Actually, you can be anyone... any age to buy diet pills.. supposedly you are talking about over the counter. If prescription, the doctor will decide whether a person should be taking them or not.\n\nOne must be VERY careful about diet pills. EVEN THOUGH the publicity may say it(they) work wonders, it is doubtful that tdhey do and there are sometimes horrific side effects to trying to shed pounds fast. \n\nI am of the old school that the best way to shed pounds is to curb food intake.. particularly fatty, starchy, salty foods, increase fruits/vegetables and do exercise... Exercise is a MUST for an effective diet.

I know the "R" stands for Residential but...can the property be subdivided in the future?  What are the basic building guidelines? only stick built homes, or can you build mobiles on an R-5 property?  Thanks for you time!\n\nGary

different areas have different meanings behind zoning designations, where i am at R5 is residential, 5 dwelling units per lot. you need to go to your planning department or look at the county codes to find out exactly what is allowed in that zone.

There is an adminstrator named Patsy  who works for MFA a nursing home chain.Over the past 3 years she has run off 5 director of nurses,6 unit managers,staff nurses and fired some top pay nurses to hire inexperienced nurses to take care of this fragile population.Why won't they fire her .She is mean,yells at everyone and intimidates and keeps her dog sitting in the lobby.

She is doing her job, thats the bottom line.\nThe company pays her to keep wages down, and inexperienced is cheaper.\nB*tch yes, sackable? NO.\nSorry.\n\nHave a good day, and dont think about her, and say hi to some of the old guys and gals there. My wife works in one to.\nA big HI from the UK.


In the gas-phase, homolytic bond-dissociation rxns such as: HCl-->.H(g)+.Cl(g) are much less endo, and therefore much easier to achieve than the corresponding gas-phase heterolytic bond-dissociation (HCl(g)-->H^+^(g)+ Cl^-^(g))  Why so? (Hint: This is a "coulombic" issue)\n\nH^+^  means positive ion\nCl^-^ means negative ion

The difference between \n\n1) HCl-->.H(g)+.Cl(g)   and\n\n2) HCl(g)-->H^+^(g)+ Cl^-^(g)\n\nis that in equation 2, you have two charged species.  We know that a positively charged species likes to interact with a negetively charged species (coulombic effect), thus making them much harder to dissociate.  This is what your hint was trying to address.  \n\nIn the gas phase, there also do not exist any solvents or counterions to stabalize the charged products in reaction 2.  The only reason that NaCl dissociates in water is due to the dipole moment of water which helps stables the Na^+^ abd CL^-^ ions.  In the gas phase, these don't exist so you would be hard pressed to acheive equation 2.

My sister is pulling and scratching her hair.I get annoyed coz everytime she comes to my place or visit someone elses house there she is pulling her hair.She gets bored , I tried to stop her but it doesnt work.She just wont stop.What should she do to stop he habbit,it so embarrassing.

It sounds like your sister has trichotillomania.  Trichotillomania is a psychological impulse disorder characterized by an inability to resist the impulse to pull out your hair.  It can be made worse by stress, or conversely, by relaxation.  This behaviour can be treated with medications and also with pychotherapy.


not trying to have a girl's ass just something to give the girls to look at lol

Lay flat on your stomach and lift each leg (keep leg straight out).  It works out your gluts.


This girl that i love moved to nevada and shes her on spring break she has the chance to move back this summer but is afraid to leave her mother what should i do?She likes me to but i don't know how to confess my love to her.

You should jus tell her how you feel, are you actually in a relationship with this girl? The way that you have to look at it is if you tell her that you do love her and she feels the same, maybe you'll get in2 a relationship! if this girl doesnt move back and decides to stay where she is - doesnt mean that you cant still be together. Me and my boyfriend were living real close in the same city, now hes living in a completely different part of the country - we're working out tho, and you could visit her aswell as her visiting you right?

do contemporary Jews believe that the laws of the old testement are still in effect? does this vary from orthodox, reformed, and other sub groups? they don't practice sacrifices or the capitol punishment outlined in the mosaic code.

sacrifices are not neccesary for the temple is gone for now (the real messiah will see it rebuilt) and jews follow the 613 laws of torah the best that they can. Yes the laws of the torah (the old testiment is christian, not jewish) the tanakh is jewish, correct, and unchanged are still aplicable to all jews.


Isn't it strange how only the rich are allowed to run our country! I'd love to see what would happen if a regular Joe Blow got the Job.

because the role of the politician is not to represent the people as a whole, but the rich. and what better way to do that than by having the president himself be a rich man. money is, literally, in every sense of the word, power. the fact that economic power and political power go together in this way shouldn't be surprising to anyone.


She is 15 yrs old..im 17..anyways she her friends are trying to get her to go out with another guy cause they dont trust me..because right now i live in another state. So she's having to hold them off and the guys that are hitting on her. She found out her best friend is also against me. (These people have never even met me yet) (my girlfriend has). She is having trouble dealing with her grandparents whom she lives with. They called her fat to her face...shes only 140 lbs. She's having difficulty cause she also feels she isn't herself. Like she is acting like a completely different person all together. I only know her current persona. She just doesnt seem to like who she is and I can't help her with all this stuff from such a large distance. I talk to her everynight and am doin my best to keep her sanity intact. Any advice?

best thing to do from such a distance is to listen to her, and reassure her. After all, you like her, right?  Remind her why.  Being 15, she's going through a heck of a lot.  You can't change how her family are toward her, but you can help her see what's great about her.  Just be there for her.  Make her laugh.


My sister will stand in front of the mirror for over an hour sometimes just picking at her face.  She doesn't even have bad skin, but she is not satisfied until she's found every clogged pore or blackhead and picked with it.  She knows the consequences of doing this; she has some slight scarring.  Despite this, she is unable to keep herself from doing this.  She says that she derives some type of pleasure from it and that it is difficult to stop once she gets started.  I assume it provides her with some kind of release or catharsis, similar to the type feeling that self-mutilators feel.  But when I tell her it is a form of self-mutilation, she dissagrees. I know it sounds strange, but any insight on this problem would be appreciated.

I'd call it more of a compulsion then an addiction but yes. Many people including myself have this problem. It does give you a sorta pleasurable release. For me it isn't just my face but anywhere and it can be a pimple or just a scab. Can't help myself I just pick it. Sounds gross I know... lol. It doesn't have to be on me either. Whenever I see someone with a ripe pimple it is all I can do not to reach out and pop it for them. I used to BEG my boyfriend to let me pop his pimples and blackheads. He HATED it but because he knew how much I loved doing it he would let me... lol.


salicyclic acid + acetic anhydride -> aspirin and acetic acid\n\nlaws, uses of catalysts, mostly theory and background info

phosphoric acid is the catalyst used in the synthesis.    Its a one to one molar ratio reaction.


and had one period so far. Is this Normal?

It could just be that your body is adjusting to being off the pill. The pill regulates your period and if you've been on it for awhile, your body is not used to having to regulate it without the hormones from the pill. Or it could just be that you have a normally long interval between periods. For some women its normal to only have a period every other month or only once a year. \n\nIf there's a chance you could be pregnant, you should take a test and see a Doctor. Otherwise give your body about 6 months to establish its own rhythm. If you don't have some sort of regularity by that time, see your doctor to make sure nothing is wrong. \n\nThere are also other things that can effect your cycle, such as other drugs, diet and stress.


I believe her name is nettie reed but I need her phone #

Go to the Johnson County Tax collector's website and do a search by name, account number or address. This will generally give you most of the information about the property (EXCEPT phone number). Hopefully, if she's listed, you have her full name and can look up her number from there ;-)\n\nGood Luck


i was disabled 5 years ago when a drunk hit me on my motorcycle and just cant control my emotions since. medication sucks. always groggy and stoned.panic attacks, sleep problems. just dammed depressed all the time. i have a fine family and a good home in smalltown texas, all looks well but i just feel trapped. please send any advise, thanks,Roy

I know how hard it is to be depressed because of a drunk driving situation because my uncle died in a car crash on the way home one night from a drunk driver. My aunt has coped with depression and we gave her the advice to try new things like go to a casino if you dont like to gamble and get out and meet new people and make some friends and people who make you feel good and so far it has worked even if you are 35+ years old you can still have friends and have fun my other uncle is 55 and is enjoing life to the fullest just being around friends (people who care and make you feel good).\n\nHope this Helps!!! Sorry about your wreck

My mother introduced me to the movie this Lent and I became an instant fan of Mr. Bingham. But when I searched for additional work by him on the web, I found next to nothing, which seems strange for someone so talented. Does anyone know what he did after "JCS"?

He released a CD in 1998 called "Alone at Last".  In 1999 he released "Live at The Pheasant".  That's all I could find.  Try looking up some of the blues websites.  You might find something about him there.

I am trying to research if its financially feasible for me to relocate to different cities (ie. New Orleans), but I am having a hard time finding an average cost of living or even and estimated cost of living.

First you need to attain information to Google. I suggest contacting each cities Chamber of Commerce. There you can obtain newspapers which will provide lots of information of jobs and housing costs. These offices will often send out the information for free. They do this as they want to have as many individuals and families as possible move to their cities. They want people to move there to bring up economical situations. The more people who live there the more income the cities gain. The more visitors who go there provides for more income as well, from taxes to spending money at the local businesses and other establishments. \n\nOnce you have the figures you can put it into the calculator at Google.\n\nGood luck and much happiness always.

it is oily, which in turn make my hair look oily.because of it i have also got pimples on my back.. sujest some remedy... help?

I say up to the due date.  What is your opinion?

Right up to the due date, unless she's uncomfortable with it. It certainly won't hurt the baby, and sometimes (but not in my case) it makes labor come quicker once you're nine months along.


I've had a crush on her for a while and simply got sick of being on the side-lines. Did I make the right call?

Keep trying man, but don't push things, just try to talk to here in the more relaxed way possible, like you didn't care about her, and pay attention to what she says, then you could discover what she likes and then start talking about what she likes. This should help you, it it doesn't, move on, there are always other girls.


If you had a career and family living in lets say New Mexico and your Long distance guy/girl lived in Atlanta...would you move to be with them??\n\nDid I mention your in love??

Too many times if of the one party's move to be with other it seems to fail. If not from the area this one of the stresses not being with your family. Trying to fit in the new area finding that job,  find friends, and other social actives it is hard all causing great problems in a relationship.


Pre baby I'd get a period every 3 months approx. and when I'd finally get it, I'd bleed for at least 20-30 days.I didn't know that I was pregnant because of this.Now, my son is almost three and after having him I was more regular than  ever.I'm pushing two months w/o a period now and I've been cramping for at least a month.It's now severe cramping, please help!  any suggestions will help

Congrats on being able to have a baby in spite of the Endo.  Having a baby is not a cure, as some mistakenly believe.  You need to have the disease treated effectively, particularly if you are experiencing secondary infertility, as you mentioned in response to the oral contraceptive suggestion (OCs are also not curative or even the best treatment for the disease).  I suggest seeing a true Endo specialist and perhaps even involving a Reproductive Endocrinologist if infertility persists; chances are once you get the disease effectively removed, the infertility will resolve, but if not, an RE can help you go through necessary protocols.  See www.centerforendo.com for information on effective treatment for the disease. Good luck and remember you're not alone!  www.endocenter.org

I don't understand how to purchase DVD's with my Funcash cash-in's? Help!!!

It sounds like you are talking about columbiahouse.com. If you are, here are the steps you take:\n\n1. go to the columbiahouse website\n2. click on the green dollar amount of your funcash (upper right corner)\n3. there will be a light green box with your funcash dollars in red - click on the link below that  -- it says "use your funcash now"\n4. go shopping and click on the green link below DVDs that you want. \n\nThey don't post the fun cash cost for each DVD and you will not get the sale price. You get charged the member price.\n\nNot all DVDs are eligible for purchase usin funcash. In that case, no green link will appear below the DVD.\n\nAfter you choose a DVD, you will go to the funcash cart where you choose you much of your funcash to use on a selection.\n\nYou can pay for the full amount of a single DVD using funcash, but they only let you apply about $10 towards boxed sets.

What are some misstakes to watch for when Police stop you? I'm just curious what they can legally do and what would be considered police mis-conduct.

Get a copy of the US Constitution and read it, also keep it on you at all times.  When stopped only crack your window enough to give the officer your DL & Reg. if he ask you more questions than you feel appropriate ask if you are Under Arrest if he says no ask if you are Free to Go.  Those two questions are the only ones you need to ask.  If he ask to search tell him no under no circumstances should you ever consent to a search of your personal property.  Force them to get a search warrent.  Also when you get your citation go to court plead not guilty and if you are convicted ask for an immediate appeal and request a jury trial.  Hope this helps.\n\nIn Liberty,\nEric H. Smith\nwww.erichsmith.com


I have had many dreams and I have had God work through me. I believe in the gifts .. I also know that there are many gifts. all differing.  BUT I also understand in the last days there will be many who come in his (GOD's, JESUS) name, And we must watch and use wisdom. I will not tell you what it is, yet, however, I feel like I am too come against TBN, ( christian network)  I am an unknown. That  DOES NOT concern me. \nI have had many many dreams, VISIONS etc.. and I have just started getting them put together, and it scares me! \nThese things are huge, and I feel like David, Taking on the GIANT.. What are your thoughts.... Something is happening, and I am willing to do the work... (WITH GOD PAVING THE WAY) \nThis in a way is as a fleece before the lord. If you don't know what that is.... Read your bible.\nSO here goes.... I want your imput, But real thoughts and answers only please. God Bless......

I am not a Christian however I do have a thought on the matter.  I believe that God can work through us in many way.  Much of which you have mentioned and more.  If you are getting these deams and you have kept track of them, (written them down for rememberance) you have prayed about them and they are still coming I would put them into serious consideration.  These would not come to you in the way they have unless you were meant to do something with them and I believe that.  I do know of the TBN and it is a giant.  That is a huge undertaking if it meant that God wants to use you.  \nDo not ignore them, write them all down in a note book.  Read them over and over again. See the details in them.  You see the bigger picture but if you go over everything no matter how minute then there might be something in the smaller details that will help you.  Help you to understand what you are to do, what God wants you to see in particular, that sort of thing.  And pray.  Pray and Pray.  God listens and God will hear you.  If he gives you scripture, read it.  See how it pertains to the matter at hand.  Only you and God know what this all is. So take to heart that God will be there.  Listen to your dreams, Listen to God, Pray and God will show you what is right in the matter and what You should do about what God has given you.\nI hope this helps you in your travels and let God be with you.

Why is it I can be so fallen for some guy....until i realize that he likes me too??? The only guys I like are the guys that dont like me! (or the ones that treat me like shit) how much sense does this make?

Your answerers thus far have the right idea.  As a young guy, I went through something very similar.  I would pursue the girl actively, using any means at my disposal.  Then when she started acting interested, I sensed in myself a "loss of respect" for her.\n\nStupid and self destructive.\n\nFirst of all, you have to ask yourself, what do I want out of a relationship?  What makes me feel self-respect?  What kind of pleasures, aside from the physical, make me feel good when I'm with a guy?  Do I laugh?  Do we talk about meaningful stuff?  Does he care about me?\n\nIf you're anything like I was, making another person fall for you is one way of validating your appeal.  Okay, so that person fell for me...one more notch on the gun.  But I still don't feel that good.  Let me try the next guy.\n\nWhat you're doing may, in fact, be a way to help yourself feel attractive and appealing.  But you never quite get the feeling right.  And some guys treat you like ****, which only serves to reinforce your bad feelings about yourself.\n\nPeople have been saying it for a long time:  to love another, you must first love yourself.  That means, really feeling independently self-fulfilled.  Knowing that you're special and that you don't need someone else to make you feel that way.  \n\nSome people...maybe you...lose touch with that feeling of being worth something, and you continue to "play the field" seeking that which you'll never find, the love that you'll want to hold on to.\n\nAnd if you don't think you're really special, and know that it's true, and screw anybody who doesn't think so, then maybe you need to talk to a counselor.  Doesn't have to be a shrink; could be someone you trust, someone in church, but make it someone who has no stake in the outcome, someone who can be objective.\n\n~Dialectic_Dilettante


Hi, my friend is going through a bitter divorce.  We're pretty sure her ex-husband was tracking her location via GPS on their Sprint business cell phone account.  Does anyone know anything about this?  If so, can you possibly help us find proof that this has occurred.  We have searched the bills but don't see anything glaringly obvious.

The account holder just has to call the service provider and have the service activated. Also, in her menu switch the GPS setting to emergencies only.


Is there scientific proof of homosexuality being a trait at birth?

It is likely that there are both biological and environmental factors at work in sexual orientation (not to mention free will).  For instance, men who develop breast cancer typically have very high estrogen levels.  They are also many times more likely to be homosexuals.  This evidence suggests a strong biological basis.  Conversely, adult lesbians are several times more likely to have undergone rape during their childhoods compared to heterosexual women.  This evidence would seem to indicate a strong environmental and psychological influence.\n\nWhen talking about a system of behavior as complex as sexual orientation, it is impossible to determine a single cause.  Asking if someone is born gay is like asking if someone is born Republican, or born spiritual, or born enjoying horror movies.  To the best of our knowledge, humans are born with certain behavioral tendencies.  These tendencies are strenghtened or suppressed by our experience, then translated into action through conscious expression of will.

not speakin on behalf of all white people, but time and time again you have those few that have this delusional idea that society always rewards those for their hard efforts!! If that were the case, why are "developmental housing" projects continually being constructed in urban areas? key word of the day: gentrification. if u need a defintion...websters will suffice. by the way, i am an educated black woman and feel as though blacks and other minorities do try to "bite the hand that feeds us" and abuse the advantages and priviliges which have been afforded us. sometimes minorities like to harp on the fact that the world is in a downward spiral (ok..we might be close to there) and there is no hope. maybe those with fairer skin just might have a different opinion. is the glass half empty or half full?\n\n\n\nP.S.\nWOW!!

My Husband asked me to go down on him and i was like what he said he heard me Then he said i like doing it to you so whats the problem with doing it to me. Can any body give me any suggestions because i know it is alot of people who do it and it is my husband would I be wrong for doing it but it shouldn't matter right.

not sure what your hubby asked you to do so can't say if its right or wrong trying reasking and using a different word.


We have been together for four years now, and i don't know how much longer that i can feel like I'm with the wrong guy. I do love him very much I'm just not "in love" with him.

The two of you need weekends away. I don't know your financial status but I would suggest getting out of town. You don't have to go far and it doesn't have to be expensive. Just include new sights and sounds and feelings and pleasures. You could even do that in your own home if you can't afford to get far away.\nDon't go to Vegas or other places that have too many distractions. This is time for you two to be together and talk and re-light that candle of passion and love

I read where Israel is the largest recipient of US aid and wonder why?  The US gives Isreal more advanced weaponry than it gives to Saudi Arabia and I wonder why?  Isreal has no oil, yet our relationship with Isreal has constantly alienated our oil suppliers?  Why does the US not put its own interests first when it comes to Isreal?  Idon't see the connection.  Can you enlighten me?

because we always support the passive underdog...israel is not calling for the extermination of arabs..is it..???..if the arabs would go about their business without bothering israel or supporting terrorists that want to annihilate it, they might be able to get along better with us...why all this WE have to get along with THEM..?? getting along is a 2 way street


I am a Sierra Leonean presently living in the Netherlands.During the ten-year period I covered in my first country of refuge-Liberia,I earned some two-year college education in the Bishop John Collins Teachers College of the Polytechnic in Monrovia under the tutelage of the UNHCR-Liberia.Today an invited refugee here in Holland,I find myself in a relatively strange and complicating situation where I am like coerced to only study a language that does'nt hold as much importance as the English language-a leading international language.Most striking of all,I belive without at least a first degree in a particular discipline,I must find it perplexing to build any brighter future.With such in and with my understanding that every second,minute and hour adds to my age hence takes me closer to my grave, I wish to employ this medium to humbly plead with the world to help me fulfil my ambition in completing the course I earlier started pursuing while in L iberia over the last decade.

I believe in Jesus Christ.  I can particiapte in other Churches. Why does the Catholic Church refuse to give someone the Body of Christ if they are not Catholic?

Technically, it's a little more complicated than that.  The Roman Catholic Church offers Communion to some Christians who are not Roman Catholics, if their denominations are "reconciled" to the Catholic tradition--this would mean the numerous Eastern Orthodox Churches, the Polish National Church, and the Assyrian and Coptic Churches.  Christians who are members of churches, however, that are understood by Catholic theologians as being in revolt against the Catholic tradition (and that would mean all Protestant and Anabaptist sects) are not permitted to take Catholic Communion.\n\nHere's maybe the simplest way to explain this:  the Catholic Church understands itself to be, in fact, the only apostolic Christian church, the only legitimate successor to the religious movement founded by Jesus and in the Catholic tradition passed on after His death to Peter (whom Catholics regard as the "first Pope," a historically questionable claim to be sure, but important in the theology of the RCC).  The Roman Catholic Church holds that Communion is a sacrament that can only authentically occur within the sanction of that apostolic continuity.  In effect, when Christians from churches not reconciled to the Catholic Church partake of Communion, they are in effect interlopers, inadequately prepared for the miracle of transubstantiation.\n\nAnother way of saying this is that for some purposes, the Catholic Church does not consider Protestant or Anabaptist Christians as true Christians.  If that sounds coarse or narrowminded or shocking, please refer to the reciprocal understanding of Roman Catholicism from the Protestant and Anabaptist perspective, as exemplified in the statement made (I am sure) by an evangelical Protestant on this Yahoo list that the Pope is the antichrist and Catholics aren't Christians.\n\nHope this answer is helpful.

My friend's sun sign is pisces. His rising sign is Aries, and his moon sign is Aquarius. What does it mean?

My boyfriend is similar.  Sun sign Pisces, rising sign Sagitarrius (fire), and moon sign Aquarius.  They say that Pisces, given that they're so mutable, are strongly affected by their rising sign, although all the Pisces I know are very Pisces.  So.  It probably means that he's very intuitive and prizes his intuition, that it is important to him to follow his own unique path and not be pent in by rules or expectations, that he is very compassionate and not Macho, that he sees the bigger picture, and that he wants to fight for the underdog, although he often fights Aikido-style -- letting the opponent fall on his face rather than pushing him back.  He is probably very creative and artistic as well.  I wouldn't be surprised if he has trouble managing money and other practical nuisances.  He is probably somewhat protective of himself by seeking periods of isolation when he needs to re-charge or recover from a fight.  As I said, though, definitely compassionate.  I'm sure he has a great heart (unless he was psychologically damaged in childhood).  All of these signs are extremely idealistic.  Oh!  And I bet he likes nice shoes and has nice feet and good grooming.  Just something about Pisces.

I know it sounds weird, but I love him to death , but he's sooo active, and hot, and I constantly envy him!!!

Guess what pal, itz not a bad thing as long as you don't control him or not allow him to-be-himself. You could learn a thing or two from him, and please don't be suspicious. Envy is okay, if it is productive, so if you end up bettering yourself thanx to this envy, you are fine. Otherwise, you are better off away from him. Let him be!


SIGMA 12^4 (.56-.09 SQ.ROOT OF 11.8)(.1+.9*.5)\n\nWhat do I do with the SIGMA?\nAnd I multiply that square root, right (There is no multiplication sign, just a space)?

As best as I can translate, the equation you are intending looks like this:\n\nΣ [12^4 (.56-.09 √¯(11.8)) (.1+.9*.5)]\n\nIn which case, the problem is incomplete. The summation function, Σ, requires that there be a variable, such as x, in the equation. It also requires that the variable x have set parameters and that these parameters are shown above and below the summation symbol. \n\nFor example:\n\nx=5\n Σ [12^4 (.56-.09x √¯(11.8)) (.1+.9*.5)]\nx=2\n\nYou ignore Σ for the moment, and find the solution of the rest of the expression for each of the values of x indicated (2, 3, 4, & 5). You will then have just four numbers; in other words, all those messy operations will be gone. Σ means you add those numbers now.\n\nIn all cases, the order of operations are as follows:\n\nParentheses, Exponents (√¯ is just an exponent of ½), Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction, Summation\n\nAddition is not Summation and shouldn't be mistaken for it.\n\n\nTo answer your other question, when there is no other operation between numbers, or parentheses, the default operation is multiplication. Therefore, after finding the square root of 11.8, you do indeed multiply that answer with .09.\n\n\nP.S. All the mathematical symbols in this explanation were found using my computer's character map. You can do a search on your computer to find yours. Click advanced. The bottom field allows for searches. (My version of the square root symbol is the square root symbol followed by a macron.)


this came up in a conversation last week and i had no idea the answer.

Well, I have no idea what a waterline is on a boat, but that's to be expected with me, isn't it  :-)   Figure on this.......somebody way way way back, when they very first decided to paint waterlines on boats, may have had the smarts to float boats of various sizes and weights and/or float models scaled to size/weight, and take notes.  So, supposing someone did that once upon a time, some other smartass made some permatable for it, and it became common practice  :-)\nIt's all a matter of physics, I'm sure.\nAre you home yet?

if american people accuse the arabs and hate them because what happened in 9\11 , what about IRAQ now ???  i think it is not fair , a day (9/11) versus 3 years in iraq !!!!\nBut still we dont hate you , we just hate BUSH and his friends,,, in the other side ... American people hate all of us..... one more question for American people , Has Bush found Bin Laden his first enemy ? how long American troops are their in afghanstan ? is bin laden a ghost :))) ? i am really laughing at your level of thinking ... thanks :)

I agree with your statements that most Arab people do not "hate" Americans even though Bush and his cronies have messed up Iraq on purpose, when Bush should have directed America's 9-11 anger toward Bin Laden and Afghanistan!  Don't forget, Bush is only in Iraq for OIL, OIL, and that's right, more OIL!!!\n\nOn the otherhand, I am American and I don't "hate" Arab people!!!  Nor does my family, nor do my friends... ;o)


im british and i hate how all these ppl (from the U.S.) hav stereotypes 4 us and talk about our bloody "acents" and think tea is soo bad 2 hav and that we all hav bad teeth! i hav perfect teeth and so does every1 i no

Its true that many US people do have bad steriotypes about the british. But those r only french-americans or people who side with the french. Most of the french r a snotty bunch of assholes. Both america and the UK helped them out in WW 1 and 2 yet they arent grateful. Any way it isnt most americans but the reason some do is cuz there different. People here dont know many if any British people so they only know what movies potray. Movies like Austin Powers. Im sure that there are steriotypes of americans in the UK . Like that we eather have a thick new york/ bostan accents or hick southern accents. There are mixes of different accents just as there are in Britain. But any way the french should change there flag 2 a white 1

What type of program do I use for it and can I use any image to burn on the disk?

Any image will work and you can use Nero (recent versions) to burn your image.\nWhen you choose your image use something simple.  You will loose most of the details in anything complex.


do you put paper on the toilet before you sit on it

I wash my hands everytime I use the bathroom for anything even in the privacy of my own home. Sometimes when public bathrooms I witness alot of people not washing their hands after taking a s***. I think that this is real disgusting. Everyone should wash their hands. Especially men since they are touching their genitals while using the bathroom.\nAnd about the sitting on a public toilet. I try not to use public bathrooms if possible and if I have to, I go to some fancy hotel and use their bathroom since I know that it will be nice and clean. If I have to use a bathroom anywhere else it has to be an extreme emergency.


this is not a joke this has something to do with reflection


oh what a coincidence that jesus was born at christmas, the time of the pagan Yule. pagans have been around much longer.

Thank you for asking this question. Very good point. I am a Pagan, and Paganism pre-dates Chrisitianity and our festivals did come first. Any book will confirm this!


i take milk tea and white bread in the morning. then for lunch, brown bread with black tea. 4 slices brown bread. and at night, healthy meal. also at least 5 glasses water. i hate exercising. infact, i just cant. will this "own style of meal" help me loose some weight. i walk on weekends only.will i loose calories? what is the ratio of losing calories:weight lost?

1 calorie is the amount of energy it takes to heat one litre of water by one degrees celsius.  But it is useful for measuring the energy in food.  Women can have 2000 cals a day and men 2500 to maintain their weight.  So women can wat (7*2000) 14000 cals a week.  1lb of fat stores the equivalent of 3000 cals, so by decreasing your intake of cals by 3000 a week you would lose 1lb a week.  Any diet that decreases the amount of calories you eat will make you lose weight.  But healthy goods are naturally low in calories and are more nutritious.  So eating healthy food (not white breads) will make it easier for you to lose weight and stay healthy.  If you are going on a diet for a long time take a multivitamin. Exercise can be simple, take the stairs, get off the bus a stop earlier than you have to etc... But the author of the GI diet correctly says its much easier to lose weight by dieting than exercising.  To lose 1lb exercising a week you would need to briskly walk for 9 hours a week!


I run Windows XP SP2 fully updated, got all recent Adobe update, didn't install any software recently using Codec or so (I already got compatibility problem with Premiere with that before)... I guess this problem occur since my latest adobe update. Nothing is mentioned on Adobe or Windows homepage about that problem while using Premiere.

Since it's a runtime error, it has to be corrected by the manufacturer, there's nothing you can do.  You should get in touch with Adobe and report it.


I'm a college writing tutor, and I just saw a student who was assigned to "recontextualize" one text in the light of another.  The word is not in any online dictionary, but I believe I figured out what it means and what the professor meant by the assignment.  Have you run into this word before?  Give me an example of recontextualizing.

It should mean to put a thing back into its context, and could mean to put a thing into a modified/different context.  Like "repurpose," which means to take a thing a use it for a purpose other than what it has been used for.


A friend gave me one of their postcards. It says to send s.a.s.e. and $1 to po box in AZ.  They claim to be able to pay off all my bills...

Lifesystems seems to advertise very heavily on the Internet, but I can't find a website for the company or any other information about them. All the ads require you send them $1 and seem to make promises that they will get rid of all your debt. I'm very suspicious of any company that advertises so much without direct contact info.


my mom checks me every time i say  or rite slang or even use sms lannguage like wot for what and gr8 for great.i am really fed up of it .i dont like her bugging me so much .

Do you think she would bother if she didn't care??  Listen, writing and talking that way right now is a kick, but when you are out in the adult world, that nonsense just won't fly.  If you can't put together a viable and coherent sentence, you will get NOWHERE!  Bosses won't think much of your abilities OR your intelligence.. even though you might be extremely intelligent.. \nHave the self respect to be the very best you can be.. at all things INCLUDING the way you express yourself.  It will show you to be the intelligent person you truly are.  THAT is what your Mom hopes for you..  the very best.

A striker for sure, a right winger and some cover at the back. thats what i think. But which actual players???

The transfer window is over, but the perfect player for Liverpool is a player with pace, is proven in the premiership, and has exceptional finishing ability. This player is Yakubu at Middlesborough- a proven scorer in the premiership. Liverpool should make a move for him this summer- he should cost 8.5 million pounds.


Earned Run Average--It is the average number of earned runs scored on a picticular picher in 9 innings.


A repetition in history. While "leaders" can choose how they want to live, mostly in the high life and can raise their own pay at their choosing,  others, mainly everyone else, has to work almost everyday to live a decent life.  Since the cost of living increases everyday, how is the average person, who does work to have a life, supposed to make it in the world today, while the "leaders" can eaisly make their lives easier.  i dont see democracy.

One of the greatest ludicracices ever commited, was allowing congress to set their own pay scale.  Not even the President can do that.  It really makes you see the dark side of politics when these guys get more money to bicker all day long, while the rest of us work to produce something that people need or want.


Like alienware or hp, or gateway, like those brands, the good ones.

Alienware is WAY overrated! I have two Area-51 laptops and they both have been pieces of crap. Countless hardware issues and slow technical service. I know several others who have had similar encounters with their Alienware computers. They look nice, other than that, they SUCK!\n\nDON'T BUY AN ALIENWARE COMPUTER!


I read somewhere that a whale's aorta is big enough for a person to crawl through. Also, after reading about Jonah, I wonder if anyone else in history had been swallowed by a whale, or if there have ever been any scientific expeditions to the inside of a whale?

When my boyfriend was in university he helped dissect a whale. So if by expedition you mean "cutting open and getting covered in dead whale parts" yes, there has been. I also don't know where you heard that you could crawl through a whales aorta but you can't. Their hearts are big but not that big.


Which one would get the top first and why?creative answer desired.

Gilmore Girls is an awesome show, yes, I know that. Tell me why you like it so much. The sooner I recieve answers the better. Good Luck!

I was seperated from my family for almost two years because of a bad fight we had. We had no communication whatsoever. It was bad. It was like Loralei and her parents I guess. Well I started watching Gilmore Girls during that time and I really enjoyed it. Most of the time I was depressed, but I honestly enjoyed my time watching that show. I watched it everyday in the morning (ABC Family). That was about 2 years ago. I've since made up with my family, and the show stuck with me. It just made me happy back then. Now I watch the Tuesday night new episodes with my mom.

My penis is 9 inch long,as thick as my wrist when erected.\n\nI can last up to 2 hours in bed.\n\nMy body is totally fit and sexy.\n\nSo, do you think I'm good in bed?\n\nMy gf had never complained, but is she just keeping it to herself?

By the fact that you need to ask, must be lacking in something. Have you ever really made love to your girlfriend?\nNot just have sex with her. Try a little romance, forget your physical abilities. We girls judge a man by his tenderness and thoughtfulness, not is penis size.


I also believe the song was used on an episode of House a while back. The only thing I know for sure is in the chorus are the words "hallaluja" other than that I have no clue and they roll the credits so small and on split screan you can't find the info.Any help please. Thanks

There is a website that has all of the music played on Cold Case shows.  Here is the info on the song.  John Cale is the artist, "Hallelujah"  Fragments of a Rainy Season, Track 20  is the album.


There was lot of news of  Michel Jackson on the brink of \nbecoming Muslim,what happened to him?

Do you mean Michael Jackson?  He moved to Bahrain and supposedly has converted to Islam.  His brother Jermaine had converted to Islam already years before.

If you've seen it, and be serious please, what was your opinion?  I loved it and it made me cry for an hour.

The Lady of Shallot? That's my favorite poem! Getting back to the topic, I'm a heterosexual male, and the movie made ME cry. It was deeply moving. It's a shame that people will kill each other just because they are different.


I split from my ex nearly five months ago an have only seen him twice since then an still think about him all the time whats wrong with me?  I know I still love him but I dont want him back so why do I keep thinking about him? He wants me to meet up with him again soon should I go? Not for sex just for a chat an maybe a kiss but no further.

You must accept that it's over before you can begin to heal.  Forget about them and move on - you are in control of your thoughts.  Challenge your thoughts... which will change your mood, feelings, and behaviour.  But, you'll have to do it over and over again until it sticks.

Xenon is a member of the so-called noble or "inert" gases. It is present in the atmosphere to the extent of about one part in twenty million. Xenon is present in the Martian atmosphere to the extent of 0.08 ppm. the element is found in the gases evolved from certain mineral springs, and is commercially obtained by extraction from liquid air. Natural xenon is composed of nine stable isotopes. In addition to these, 20 unstable isotopes have been characterized. Before 1962, it had generally been assumed that xenon and other noble gases were unable to form compounds. Evidence has been mounting in the past few years that xenon, as well as other members of zero valance elements, do form compounds. Among the "compounds" of xenon now reported are sodium perxenate, xenon deuterate, xenon hydrate, difluoride, tetrafluoride, and hexafluoride. Xenon trioxide, which is highly explosive, has been prepared. More than 80 xenon compounds have been made with xenon chemically bonded to fluorine and oxygen. Some xenon compounds are colored. Metallic xenon has been produced, using several hundred kilobars of pressure. Xenon in a vacuum tube produces a beautiful blue glow when excited by an electrical discharge. The gas is used in making electron tubes, stroboscopic lamps, bactericidal lamps, and lamps used to excite ruby lasers for generating coherent light. Xenon is used in the nuclear energy field in bubble chambers, probes, and other applications where a high molecular weight is of value. The perxenates are used in analytical chemistry as oxidizing agents. 133Xe and 135Xe are produced by neutron irradiation in air cooled nuclear reactors. 133Xe has useful applications as a radioisotope. The element is available in sealed glass containers of gas at standard pressure. Xenon is not toxic, but its compo

!!!!!!PLEASE DO NOT READ IF U WANT TO SEE INSIDE MAN!!!!!\nI liked Inside Man, it was a little different but I thought it was pretty good. I don't know what questions you may have in particular but here is my summary of the whole purpose of the bank robbery. If you remember at the end of Inside Man when the robbers were waiting for Clive Owen to come out of the bank, you will see the older Jewish banker in the car with them, he was the guy who had the hearring impediment. I believe he set up the heist b/c one of his family members was the owner of the ring that was in the safe deposit box. The owner of the bank turned the ring's owner over to the Nazis b/c the Nazis "paid well." I hopes this helps a little, I'm not trying to change your outlook on the movie, but I think alot of people dislike the movie b/c it didn't fully explain things.


..continually threatens to use this history to keep me from my son. The "crime" hurt noone, I was used as a pawn in a money-laundering scam & did not know it till I was well into trouble. I am now serving time & will be home to my son hopefully early 2007. My wife & I would have split sooner, but the sentencing has put a lein on our assetts. She insists I have had an affair- which I have not. I basically live for my son, he is only two, he is my life. Can she take him from me purely based on false accusations, her irrational anger & my "criminal" record?? What are my rights as a loving father?? I fear losing him, I don't have much money to do battle in court. I need to fight this one on my own I'm and trying to do as much research as possible. Can anyone help me???   Signed... Anguished.....

It will have nothing to do with your background if that was some time ago. As long as it wasn't a sex crime or murder I really can't see what this would matter. Maybe you both need to seek help for your problems..........................

Why is everybody so in love with tom and katie. Tom is a scientologist scumbag who dates girls twice his age and then gets them pregnant. Katie is a confused girl in her 20's who is living her dream. (she had posters of him when she was a girl! ewwwwwww!)

I hope people aren't "in love" with them.  I know I can't stand to watch Tom Cruise anymore in interviews, movies, etc.  I hope MI:III and all his future movies tank so that we can stop hearing so much about him.  (I just think Katie Holmes has been brainwashed by her own irrational childhood crush and one day she'll realize what a load of crap this "romance" of theirs is.)


I prefer UK stores but if you know any other let mw know. its very important they send all over eu!

Actually, dabs.com no longer do.  Neither do ebuyer.co.uk, nor (I believe) do Overclockers.co.uk either - and those are the 3 ports of call I'd recommend.\n\nBest bet may be big international chains (Amazon?) or maybe www.dabs.fr can help...


We didn't go out for a long time tho.  We were good friends and now we aren't really friends anymore and i really want to be friends again plus he's moving.  What do I do?

I'm not sure if you should be getting involved with him. If I'm understanding you clearly, you're saying that you are more important than his school work and that can never be. And it is quite possible that his sports are very important to him, especially if he's not financially in the position to go to any school he wants. Then he may need a sports scholarship.  And his family will always be more important than you. I would never want to be involved with someone who thinks I spend too much time on my studies, sports or family. Geeeeze, if anything, you should be more attracted to him as a result of these attributes.

Any ideas to help me be in control ? This is crazy..

Exercise is a great stress reliever.  Instead of reaching for food, try going to a walk or run to clear your head.\n\nAlso, try having healthy food around to snack on instead of junk food.  You can crunch on tons of celery for very little calories.


i.e.  Whoever the Son sets free is free indeed...and so you know the Son has the authority to forgive sins....

Only a guess, but perhaps he is saying this for those who do not believe he is the Son. If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed. Well and good, but if you do not believe that he is not the son of God, then he is saying the real son is out there somewhere. HE can set you free. It is a matter of faith.


how it controle the reativity in the active site

secondary coordination sphere plays a vital role in two ways; (1) it may give extra stability to the ligand through resonance after conjugation with the metal site through resonance , thus increasing the rate of conjugation with the metal. (2) it may also decrease the rate of conjugation with metal by causing steric inhibition.

The balance of payment defect is the differance between what should have been paid and what was paid.(Defedt= shortage) The current account defect is what is owed at the current date.  The differance should be the payment shortage and the other should be what is owed on the account.  Sounds like the account is in default.

We were parked next to (not blocking in any way) a nieghbors driveway and he put a note on our car saying he would call police to get it towed if we parked within 15 feet.

There is no statewide law concerning that.  That would be a local ordinance and you would have to check with the city or county that has jurisdiction over that area.

I agree, Weight Watchers is one of the best diets around. It teaches you to eat a balanced diet and how you can still eat a variety of foods and still loose or maintain your weight, whichever you are working on.

I'm undergoing an emotional pain brought by a friend & acquaintance I met in one of my meetings at work. I don't understand what I am going thru as I became so depressed that I lost him. We both did everything to avoid each other as we're both married but honestly we never had sexual affair though he was prodding. There's something going wrong with me emotionally & psychologically coz I'm deeply hurt losing him (same feeling I felt when my Dad died, what's this pain?). It's almost a year now and I haven't recovered yet. I know this feeling isn't normal as I did all my best to keep busy & now I'm so tired. Should I tell my hubby what's going on with me? But I don't want my hubby to worry coz he proved to be wonderful and loving husband to me and we love each other much. I'm hiding in deep pain. Please help, what's wrong with me?

I don't think I would ever keep anything from my husband.\nIt may build a wedge in the relationship and that could lead to more unhealthy characteristics. I think I would approach it by saying that you are really worried about the way you act at times and that you think it has to do with the loss of your Dad and the grieving process. \nTell him about your friendship with the other person and how you are grieving the loss of a close friend and that it has been heavy on your mind for awhile...also that you want to improve yourself for the sake of the marriage. Ask for his advice. \nNow, understand I am assuming that this is a healthy relationship and that your husband is an understanding caring individual and that you both trust and respect each other. \nIf it is something different, this would not be the best path to take.

I have seen number of persons especially women who do not have a good behaviour or open heart.  They usually wash their face at least thrice a day and make it up with Fair and Lovely/other creams and face powder.  They do not keep their inner beauty clean say they do not have a good heart.  They used to critise others.  Why do they do so?  They should be open hearted.  They give preference to face rather than to heart.

OH LOOK AT YOU , YOU ARE SO AWESOME!! I am glad to see people like you. \n\nI am a lady, I like to look my best, but I don't put on 10 pounds of makeup and so on, I put on enough to bring out my finest features. People like me for who I am . there were a few times where I came to work sicker than a dog. No makeup, my hair was pulled back and people still loved me. :D One time someone saw me freshening up at work and they said, you don't need make up, you are pretty enough. \n\nANyway, enough said. I think women feel the pressure of their surroundings. they see these magazines and tv shows and they just have to look beautiful like these people on television because they feel that is what is going to attract people to them. You can look as gorgeous as you want and look like a doll, but if you don't have the personality to match that beautiful face, forget it! They are history. There are guys out there that really do want that beautiful perfect woman and I think that a lot of women are under the dilusion that it's what ALL MEN want. \n\nI know that is not true at all. I have learned that from personal experiences. \n\nMy fiancee does not like when I wear a lot of makeup, he says that he adores a natural face. :) He was attracted to the woman that I am . He was attracted to my kindness and my sense of humor. His family thought that I was a very pretty woman and they loved me. When I was visiting with their family in Peru, I didn't wear makeup because the humidity just wrecked it anyway. Anywhere I went people liked me. They liked me for my personality, they did not care that I had a plain face, they did not care that the curl had fallen out of my hair. \n\nSometimes it takes people like you to help us ladies wake up and make us wipe the paint off our faces. :)\n\nGood thought and I am so happy to see someone like yourself hanging around here. You have good character!

First, the us and israel wants free election between the palestinians.\nSecond, the palestinians hold democratic free elections and ELECTED Hamas people.\nFinaly,the usa and israeli gov refuse to deal with Hamas,cause they dont like the choice of the palestinians!!!,and stops all humanitary support to palestinian ppl!!!!!\nif Hamas ppl were ELECTED in free election that was supervised by the international community ,then why usa and israel dont respect the choice of ppl even if they dont like this choice?\nwhy they dont respect the democracy which they invaded countries to teach it to there ppl as they claim??!!!\nisnt free election considered democracy?

I am pregnant and have been told that due to my age (I was 36 last month) I have a 1 in 300 chance of having a baby with Downs Syndrome.\n\nI've never been any good at maths. Does anyone know what 1 in 300 is expressed as a percentage please? I can't picture it as 1 in 300 I need to know what the odds are as a percentage.\n\nThank you in advance

The percentage for 1 in every 300 people is 0.333%\nThis is a very small percentage so I wouldn't worry. My mom actually had me when she was 34 (and look...I can do math! ;) hehe) She had one of my sisters at age 37 and my youngest sister at age 40. All of us perfectly normal. No problems at all. Also, my mom actually had problems with some kids she was trying to have before myself (my brother who would have been older than me passed away in a week and my mom was at age 30)\nCongratulations in advance! :)

It's a common misconception that your food comes out either as pee or poop or some ratio depending upon it's state of matter before being eaten. In fact, the different sources of energy (i.e. fats and carbs) as well as proteins, undergo catabolism so much that the waste products are nothing like them at all. In any case, feces (poop) is what is never actually absorbed by your body. Anything that is taken up by the body and used is in the urine (pee). This is mostly water, salt, and urea (broken down proteins).


I didn't file taxes last year. now I'm filing and I can't find a t4. how can I get one without completely looking like an idiot to my employer? is there a reason I can tell her that I need one, other than the fact that I didn't file? (i.e., what if I was being audited? or my husband was?)

If you filed last year, then the place that did your taxes for 2004 will have one for you. If not, then call the CRA and they should have a copy of one for you. I work at a tax place, this is a liable answer, lol.
