I know that its impossible, and half of it would be out in space, but if it was down and you walked near it, would it pull you towrd it?

Not only would it have a gravitational pull, but it would effect the orbit of the Earth around the Sun and cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and other disasters.

Yes, there are.\n\nI saw one named "Un día a la vez en Al Anón", spanish for "one day at a time in Al Anon" at my grandmother's house.\n\nGo to Al anon and ask for it, I guess.\n\nThe book describes the 12 steps, and it has a short daily reflection for every day of the year (365 pages to be read in a year)\n\nHope that is useful

They know that Allah can not defend himself, so they have to defend him with violence.


My company has an E-Commerce site and wants to drive more traffic to our website. We would like to do a Free 42" Plasma Giveaway contest - entering each person who orders from our website over the next few weeks into the drawing. However, why is it that every contest or giveaway I see has a "No Purchase Necessay" clause? We want to drive orders on our website, so we really would like to limit the drawing to people who have purchased something. Is there a legal reason all contests seem to include those who have not purchased? Am I legally allowed to have a contest/drawing from just people who have purchased things? I try to search this online and just come up with every contest on the web that has that term in its rules! Not helpful :)

Your state may have specific laws regarding "giveaways" in use in advertising.  Check with your the business division of your secretary of state's office.\n\nAside from that, I am not aware of any regulation that would prevent you from holding the drawing the way you would prefer.  In fact, I often see promotions like "earn one entry into our drawing for a free car with every purchase of $20 or more."\n\nPlease note that I'm a lawyer, but that this is not my area of practice. Please do check with the sec. of state and don't take this as legal advice.


If Jesus is the truth and the light then he should be found everywhere on Earth.  Why then in the parts of the world, without the Bible, is the way of the Sage found when people look for peace?

If there was any truth behind Christianity (or any other religion for that matter) then it would be reasonable to assume that we would all be able to discern it, so we would all have the same beliefs.  Since there are in fact hundreds or thousands of different beliefs, there's no reason to suppose there is any underlying truth in any of it, including 'Jesus'.  So, the answer is 'No'.


I do not qualify for federal aid or loans. I need to take out a private loan through my bank or something. Does anyone know if I can still get a loan even though im not employed? Can it be ok if I have a co-signer?? Also when would you pay the school before classes start? Do you pay each semester? Im only going for a 1 yr nursing program. Would it be at the beginning of the year? Would i need proof of how much it will cost? Im sorry guys if its too many questions. It just never crossed my mind that it was this hard and not having the resources to start college just depresses me. Im finally seeing the reality of people not being able to go to college because of not having the resources. Thanks everyone

Don't be depressed -- there are a lot of students in your position who manage to finance their education without grant aid and still achieve success professionally and financially.  You can take out a private loan (focus on private *educational* loans) to cover your educational costs.  If you have someone who is willing to co-sign for you, all the better!  Typically, having a creditworthy co-signer will help you get a lower rate than if you apply on your own.  There are plenty of loans out there that don't require you to have a job history (and, again, even if they do have more stringent criteria, you will generally be OK if you apply with a co-signer who fits those criteria).\n\nFor a list of private education loans, check out www.finaid.org, here:  http://www.finaid.org/loans/privatestudentloans.phtml\n\nOf all of these loans, take a look at Sallie Mae's Signature Loan, which is the most popular private educational loan product out there.  In fact, I don't believe that Sallie Mae has a job history requirement (so this might be perfect for you, particularly since SLMA offers interest rate incentives for students who apply with cosigners).  Citibank is the second largest lender after them and they require either income OR a good credit history.\n\nIs this year-long program done by semester?  If so, most schools will want you to pay once per semester (2x per year), but it will vary.  Check their website or give them a call.  \n\nEDIT: Most lenders will require your school to certify your loan application, at which time they will certify that you are not borrowing more than is allowed.  Usually the maximum that your school will allow you to borrow is based on your overall educational costs -- which typically include tuition, room/board, books/supplies, transportation and and fees (though it is up to the school to decide what they are willing to include).

If you have pictures on the internet in photobucket, how do you make them so that you can not copy them by right clicking on them?

◙ there is no way to protect them. even if you disable right click all you have to do is click FILE/SAVE AS to down load the page and all images on it or press print screen key to  take a screen capture and paste it in a graphics program to save it. trust me the only way is keep them off the net. there are atleast a dozen different ways to take them.\n\n◙ one thing you can do is load them into a graphics program like photoshop and type some text right on the image face like your name or url to your page. no thief will want them then.


why cant u.s authorties capture them whilst on mexican soil.\ndoes that mean mexico has the highest number of criminals in the world.

because Mexico is full of outlaws, bad guys, and criminals, NOT A DEEP DARK SECRET !


ive been dancin for 2 yrs not str8 but like 2 mos on 4 mos off time thing but i need the money.... i need advice!!

Sometimes the fear just never goes away; you just control it.  I know people who are very experienced in live theater but they still get stage fright.  However, they love what they do, so they deal with the fear.\n\nOn the other hand, if you're just doing this for the money (and it sounds like you are), you might want to consider finding something else to do for a living.


this way both could have survived.......does this mean that she didnt love jack...........ya HERE LOVE DOESNT MEAN JUST HAVING SEX  BUT SOMETHING FROM HEART

how will i know if someone has misused my computer?

Do you have anti-virus software installed?  Go out and buy Norton AV or McAfee or something similar.  In addition to that, install a good anti-spyware program.  Ad-Aware SE and SpyBot S & D are both great and cost nothing.  Ad-Aware is available from www.lavasoft.com.  Do a web search for SpyBot S & D.  Good luck.


I am attempting to transfer my Vonage phone number to Comcast Digital Voice and Comcast is telling me they can't transfer the number because Vonage won't release it. This doesn't seem to make sense to me. Any ideas?

You may have a contract with your current carrier that requires you stay unless you pay a certain fee to cancel out early. You may have to call Vonage to get them to release your number.


I have United Healthcare....anyone with this insurance done the surgery? Was the process long, and hard? Do they make you jump thru hoops? How are you feeling now? Did you have medical issues before the surgery and do you still have them?

I had this surgery Aug. 2004 and have lost 115 lbs.  I also had United Health care.  I started my search for a doctor in March, did the required siminars for education; had to have an upper GI, a stress test, see a psychiatrist and lots of bloodwork.  So, totally, it took me 5 months to get all of prerequisits done.  Then, I interviewed with the doctor and he did everything he could to discourage me.  I wasn't discouraged but I was anxious.  I think this a psychological thing to see if you REALLY want this surgery.  It took approx another month for his office to get United to pay for my Rouyn-Y and they paid 100% because I met the criteria.  I did not consider the lap-band because alot of the lap-bands become overgrown with tissue and you require another surgery.  Also you have a saline catheter on your stomach where the doc will increase the fluid in your band and this can get infected.  I know alot of docs that have stopped doing this proceedure because of these problems.  If you have any pre-existing conditions such as back pain, high blood pressure or diabetes you have a better chance of getting the surgery.  You have to be at least 100 lbs. overweight.  Also they will want proof that you tried to lose weight in a "normal" fashion for an extended time.  Like, your Weight Watchers notes or menus; or whatever other thing you tried and how successful you were.  it's a pain in the butt getting everything together, I can tell you that.  But it was worth every minute.  The surgery for me was laproscopic; 5 small punctures that healed very quickly; I was walking the next day alone in the hallway and went home the second day.  They will check for leakages (you drink a fluid and get an exray) and I had none.  AFter that, it was a matter of following a clear fluid diet for a few days, graduating to protein drinks for a couple of weeks and then going to "baby food", ground up protiens in small amounts supplemented by protein shakes and alot of water.  There really wasn't much to my surgery; it was very easy for me.  It's not an easy thing to do or maintain as so many people think.  You use it as a tool to teach yourself how to eat properly. You will feel full with 4-5 bites.  Eventually, you will level out.  I did not feel deprived at all of food. Now I can say that it was one of the BEST things I ever did for myself!!!  I'm very happy with my results and with myself.  My diabetes is under control and I no longer have to take insulin.  My 3-month A1C test was 6.6 last time and it's never been that low.  My blood pressure meds were reduced by half.  I had my knee replaced and I'm walking great by not carrying all of that weight around.  it was really tremendous!  check it out thoroughly and satisfy yourself first.  I made myself sick for nothing preparing for the surgery and it was a breeze.  Good Luck and God Bless...:)


last 4 times the parole board have recommended executive clemency with merit - when it get to governor - its denied.  have had quadtruple surgery and 2 other heart surgeries. one of investigating dectives stated that he would fix it so that my brother would be an old man with long beard before he came back home.  my brother is now 57 - been there for 26 years.  Please help him.  Thank you - we are in arkansas.

Wow, I am really sorry this happened. Your best bet is to get a better lawyer. Good luck!


I read a book called In Search of Schrodinger's Cat a few months ago and I had a strange idea.  Electrons flicker (or whatever they do) in and out of existance, right?  Bohr's uncertainty principle says a particle acts like a particle when being observed, but only as a probability if not being observed(???).  Does that mean that If I am not observing a thing, a lamp for instance that there is only a probability that the lamp exists at all.  Does this suggest that the lamp will always be there but not nessesarily all the atoms that make up the lamp or do the electrons not have any impact on the atom at all when they do their trick.  Can someone please explain.  I probably need to re-read the book, or is there a better one?

Good question.  It is actually the heisenberg uncertainty principle though... \n\nPlease remember when you look at your lamp, you aren't seeing particles, you are seeing photons that are coming off of the particles!\n\nBut anyways, because every particle (all matter included not just electrons!) is a wave, every particle has a probability of being in an area, not a point.  So yes, there is a probability that your lamp is in your bedroom and not your living room. The catch is that the probability is so low the chances that it is in your bedroom is almost infinately small.\n\nIf you like physics books, read "A brief history of time" by Stephen Hawking.  Good for all levels.


Democracy should be manifested consistently, not selectively or preferentially

Is it not a shame that people like you cannot identify terrorists? The reason the US and Eu refuse to recognise Hamas is that they are TERRORISTS and operate outside the realm of international law and accepted behaviour. Teh rational world rejects them- the irrational world seems to think that blowing up babies in prams is somehow legitimate when you are a Palestinian and trying to kill as many Jews as possible!\n\nHey- Hamas and the Nazis share a common aim- both want to live in a Judenrein (Jew free) area- the Hamas charter calls for the killing of every Jew in the area!


It was a joke of course but they actually sent you a certificate that said your place in heaven or hell was reserved. They were popular about 6 years ago.Do they still exist?

uhh im not sure- ironic if they forgot to buy a ticket and then died haha


I'm looking to buy a first time laptop for college. I was debating between the new Intel Centrino Dual Core processors and the older Pentium M processors. Does anyone have an opinion on which one os better? Im most concerned about the heat it will generate (I dont want to burn my lap!), the ammount of battry life it will kill and how quickly and efficiently it will process. By the way I am not a gamer, but i will be doing more than just word processing on this laptop (DVDs, MP3s etc..)\n\nTHNX!

THE INTEL DUO CORE IS MUCH MORE BETTER THAN INTEL PENTUM M \n\nIT RUNS AT 667MHZ  FSB AND M RUNS AT MAX 400MHZ


I have this eatting disorder that is such that when I eat too much of curtain food, I find that I feel sick because I have had enough of it and yet still hungry.  It is only when I find the right food, that I do not feel hungry.  But this is so difficult because I do not know what food it is and I have spent years trying to find out what I am deficient in and what type of food it is that I need so that I can deal with this problem.\n\nDoes anyone know what the cause of this condition is?\n\nFoods that help are things like milk, icecream, mushroom soup, lunch'n'meat, spam, shrimps, chicken and beef, eggs, nectorenes, bananas and curtain chowders or soups.\n\nAny ideas?

After reviewing most of the foods that you listed, it would leave me to believe that your trouble foods would be  pastries, cakes, cookies, and bread.  If so, then you may have a problem with flour.


I wonder about my picture. who do you like my picture?\nDo you like or hate?

I think it looks really cool, i like it.


mr tate says he falls on the knife, but my english teacher thinks something else happens\ndoes Jem or Boo stab him??

The second person already said it.I'll explain it a little more. Boo actually stabbed Bob Ewell,but Heck Tate didn't want to bring him out in the limelight.Boo would have to go to court,but like Scout tells Atticus,this would be just like 'killing a mockingbird',because Boo stabbed Bob Ewell to save Scout,so he is still innocent.He does not deserve to go to court,you see.\nHowever,Atticus thinks Jem stabbed Bob Ewell,but realises it is Boo in the end.There,done.Did I make you more confused?^_^"

We have been talking on the phone for a week now, and text messaging, our conversations are pretty long in length. I don't know though if he's interested or not

why don't you ask? You'll never know until you ask.  But you'll really know if he's interested in you by the conversations you have, tone of voice,how and where you met him, and if he is calling and texting you as much as you are.  = )


If it does not matter if the non-Catholic is a practicing Christian, or even if he/she believes in God for that matter?  I mean, a person could be a complete atheist, and they would pass the requirements for Catholic marriage so long as his/her parents baptized him/her.  Why?

I am an atheist and I married another atheist in a Catholic church.  She had been baptized Catholic when she was a child.  We simply lied to the priest and had our wedding.\n\nThe only reason they have such rules is to help their religion get bigger and make more money.


With our lack of border and port security it seems it would be easy for a car bomber or suicide bomber to get into the US so what is stopping them?  And if our security has foiled terrorist attempts why hasn't and one been brought to trial or to the nations attention?\n\nI know you can say they are busy fighting us in Iraq but don't the terrorists really want to harm the US mainland like they did on 9-11?

why? because the cia is doing something else right now. when the elitists need to engineer another signifigant event to facilitate and accelerate their agenda then maybe it will be another one. oh by the way when you say "terrorist" what defines that term? read the patriot act- THE WHOLE THING- then your breakfast will taste sh$%ty in the morning when it defines "terrorist" and "terrorism"


Ok, after I had my baby, I had an IUD put in. Well everything has been ok so far, but the past couple days my abdomen is really hurting! Kind of like a cramp, but different. I can still move around and do stuff, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this feeling, or if they know about it. I've had my IUD in for about 7 months now.

iud is a coil,best to get advice from dr i think...


are two diff relgions my mom is a christian and my dad is a jehova's  witness. So i was brought up beliveing two different things what should i do?

Believe whatever makes you happy and what you feel comfortable with.  God isn't keeping score up there saying "Christians 499-J.W. 498".  It's ok to believe what you are comfortable with.

I'm using Linux kernel 2.4 and I want to upgrade to 2.6, checked on KERNEL.ORG and found so many files, which is a correct file to get kernel 2.6. I am using Linux Red Hat 9 on i586 platform. I think I have to choose different kernel package for different CPU.

As far as I know, Red Hat didn't release a 2.6 kernel specificially for Red Hat 9.  You can find the last 2.4 kernel they released at rpm.pbone.net (exact url in sources, below).\n\nThere is an old tutorial on sourceforge (link in sources, below) for upgrading Red Hat 9 to the 2.6 kernel, but it hasn't been updated in a long time so I can't vouch for it's accuracy.\n\nBest of luck!


I really can't figure it out. My ex boyfriend of 2 years and I broke up a few months ago...now I'm back into the dating game. Now, for some reason I'm having problems finding someone to start a relationship with. I've had a few chances but in the back of my head I'm always comparing these new guys with my ex...it's strange. And I end up deciding that they are too creepy for me. I do not think my standards are set too high. I mean...I am NOT shallow at all. I really do not care what the guy looks like I just need someone who is caring  and funny and has nice teeth. That's about it. Also...altho I've had a few chances...I have really had many...and I'm wondering why not..this is just so confusing for me. I just feel so lonely.

Have you ever tried to remember the name of a movie, & you thought as hard as you could about it, but couldn't remember, only to have it come to you later when you weren't thinking about it at all?  I know, odd question, but I'm illustrating a point.  I think a serious relationship is often the same way.  For some odd reason, when you are concentrating so hard on trying to find someone, it won't happen.  Then, when you change the focus of your life to something else, like work or school, often times someone just falls in your lap.  Careful that they aren't too heavy, though, as that could lead to bruising.  Seriously, though, you sound like a great girl who may just need a little more time to get over your past relationship, & get your focus in the present instead of the past.  Try to do some things with work or school that may get your mind off your ex & men in general for a little while.  Then, don't be surprised if someone walks right up to you & asks you out on a date.  God has a way of providing for our needs, even if they conflict with our desires & we don't even know it.  When you're ready, the right man will come to you.  Best of luck.


those things are really bad for health.why take it when you know it's not good for your body and soul

Weed is not bad for health. Smoking is bad. Every kind of smoke is bad. People smoke weed, so it is bad, because you smoke. Just like alcohol if you use to much it is bad for the soul, again to much........is with everything.....\nIn Holland it is legal and besides smoking you can make tea or eat it in a cake. This way they never found something bad about it. If weed is bad then alcohol is a 1000x more bad to your health.\n\nI really don't understand why the world (specially the US and French) are so panicking about this. Worldwide we have 100x more alcohol victims then Weed victims. Alcohol is far more damaging for the soul and body then weed. More people die of alcohol usage and tobacco. Do you know that worldwide more people die of air pollution then weed and the Bush still don't want to anything about it. \n"Why people do nothing about air-pollution when they know it is not good for your body and soul? (Is the next question)\n \nDo you know that some people even can have benefits with weed and some don't have to take the chemical painkillers.\nAre there any benefits with tobacco or alcohol? \n\nI used it a couple of times(8 years ago), but didn't like it at all.\nI'm not for or against weed, but if you be strict about what people can and can't use, then the first things who should be forbidden is tobacco and alcohol.\nReally can't understand why people every time keep saying how bad weed is, but how do they know. Brainwashed by the government. The government keep saying how bad weed and it is illegal. So people just accept it. What is your own thought?\nWhy people never ask: Why people keep smoking or drinking while they know it is really damaging the body.\nBecause to many people use it, so it is accept as normal.\nWeed is not!\nLook to does people who sue the tobacco companies. \n"They didn't know smoking was bad to there health" \nYEH, kiss my *ss. 25 years ago when I was a little kid I knew.\nSo the real problem with those people is there brain. They are just pure DUMB.\nWorld wake up


On top of that she wants child support what the fruck!

I feel bad for your friend i think these chicken heads on here who accused you of being a dead beat need to learn how to read tell your friend that Beyeaches they come and go how can any one trust women like that we cant we guys know were not innocent but you friend should just kill her     Take her out by any means like oj or Robert Blake or like you said run her off a Pier in a car like the eminem song Kim watch all the feminist say that's not fair she was stuck she had no choice like that person wrote oh boo hoo she was abused well she was abused by another mans penis your friend should get checked for aids if anyone doesn't like what i wrote well then too bad suck my penis happy now


Bristol [UK] are considering offering to the world an apology for it`s role in the African slave trade. Is it to late especially since all the people involved - slaves and slave merchants - are long dead?

No, they should not. It is ridiculous and would be meaningless. The whole campaign appears to be just a fop by a few ne`er do wells as a precursor to demands for `reparation`.\n To the merchants of Bristol, slaves were just a commodity same as any other. Sad I know, but to start demanding apologies from descendants of anyone involved in this trade, or anyone living anywhere that benefitted from this trade is ludicrous. It would involve half the planet.


every night and  i love sex so i want to have sex atleast 3 times a week what should i do?

Openly talk about this with him, what kind of relationship do you have if you can't talk about sex, if you both can't talk about it then one or both of you aren't ready for it.  If he wants to wait, learn to masturbate.  If you aren't happy after this, dump him, why waste your time in a relationship if you aren't happy with it.


I need to know what time I have to be at court this morning.

The website (http://www.dallascourts.com/forms/lstCourts.asp?division=crd) is not so helpful.\n\nGo EARLY. Like 7. Outside your court, there should be a buletin board that lists the docket for the day so you can confirm what time you are supposed to be there. Then go get some breakfast in the basement until you scheduled to be there.\n\nIf you can't remember what court to go to, on the first floor (where you enter past the metal detectors) there is a large lobby with a round kiosk in the middle. One or more officefs there should be able to give you directions.\n\nGood luck tomorrow.


and those that havent met muslim, do u have a picture what they are like if so what is that picture that u think they are like?

one of my bestest friends is muslim, and hes wonderful, whenever im mad at amnyone or anything he says... forgive them,,, he loves everyone and hes the kindest of people, he made me realise that muslims are human too


Forget about racism for just a minute, what would happen if we get rid off all the illegal immigrants, is not that im proud of it but i do have employees working for me that are immigrants, who's going to do the job?

There is no job that americans, or anyone, would not do for the right price.  The markets would adjust, and the price of cheap labor would rise until people would do it.  Realize that there is not a single industry where the majority of manual labor is done by illegal immagants.  Not agriculture (where they are 24% of workers), not construction (14%), cleaning (17%) or any other recognized field.  Note that the statistics I quoted above are from the Pew Hispanic Center, not very conservative.


George Carlin does this great routine where he talks about the invention of the flamethrower, and points out the army has them and we don't. "I'd say we're f*ed if we have to go up against the army."\n\nArmed rebellion doesn't have much chance with the toys the army has at its disposal now, assault rifles, tear gas, kevlar armor. The way the military budget skyrocketed back in the cold war days, and we just keep shoveling money into the war machine. The gov't doesn't need our consent anymore. And every now and then- Waco, Ruby Ridge, etc. They decide someone is a "threat" and put on a little demonstration- an execution for the benefit of the media, to be broadcasted to everyone, so it's always in the back of our minds- "We're f*ed if we have to go against the army." \n\nWhy do you think people tried to pretend Eric Rudolph was a hero? He murdered some innocent people. And folks were holding up signs- "Run Rudolph Run"- because he had defied the gov't and gotten away with it.\n\nThe "armed rebellion" can only be done if we go terrorist-style. Small groups, small weapons, ski masks. Everyone meets up at Waffle House, then on to the IRS building and room to room shooting people. Next day, courthouse or other gov't building. After those 2 strikes, everyone leaves, takes off their ski masks, and goes back about their lives, melting into the woodwork. \n\nThis will accomplish 2 things: We, as citizens, will be sending a message- "You don't control us. We can rise up & strike back whenever we feel the need."\n\nAnd the gov't, frustrated at not being able to find the guilty parties, will respond by making life miserable for everyone. See: 9/11 + Patriot Act + Shoe searches in Airport Terminals.\n\nThe revolution won't be televised.\nAnd, it probably won't be armed. That's not going to help.\nOnly a social/spiritual revolution will aid us now.\nAnd it will have to be a world revolution. You can't say "hey, MY PART of the boat isn't sinking." Get real.\n\nBy the way, I could use help with this.\n\nIf someone REALLY wanted to see an armed rebellion, all the seeds were there in post-Katrina New Orleans. Lots of scared, desperate people with nothing else to lose, and a break down of the local gov't & social order. \n\nThe FIRST PERSON to show up in New Orleans with water, food, weapons, and A MESSAGE would've had a ready-made army at his disposal.


you complain that the US invaded Iraq because of false alligations of WMD. How do you know that they havent found any but choose to keep it classified. Not only that but why dont you complain about the insurgents that invaded the country and are killing more Iraqi's than the US could ever dream of. It is not the Americans that say cooperate with us or we will kill you and your family, it is the insurgents. As for your argument that they had stability before we took Saddam out of there. Yes they did if you call stability people getting killed if they so much as disagree with Saddam. If you call stability women being basically inprisoned in there own country. Since the US has gotten there they have opened schools, health care facilities and and gave them the framework to have a better government. So dont blame the americans for the devistation in Iraq but instead blame the insurgents. they are the ones bombing everything they can.

Dude. I was there. They didn't have shit. Hell, the Iraqi army barely had ammunition for their weapons. \n\nWe have invaded Iraq on false pretenses. The President lied us into a war. Iraq did not have WMD's. Saddam had used them before the first gulf war, what makes you think he wouldn't have used them again on Americans that were invading his land if he still had them?\n\nDoes logic not mean anything to you at all?\n\nYou mention the insurgents that have converged in Iraq ... They wouldn't be there had we not invaded and then left the borders WIDE OPEN. Do you have any idea how many Syrian terrorists I had personally dealt with? Any clue at all how and why these people chose to go to Iraq? I'll tell you, it's because Americans are there and they want nothing more than a chance to hurt an American.\n\nIf you're so gung-ho about this terrible war, then I suggest you get your butt to the nearest MEPS, enlist, and request to serve in Iraq. Put your money where your mouth is.\n\n___\n\nI don't believe you.


If I need to use a item, can you tell me the name of the product and where to buy them?

Don't get rid of your freckles.  Freckles are character marks.  I use to want to get rid of them as a kid, but now that I'm an adult they don't bother me at all.  My husband thinks they are cute!!


You find yourself holding the infant, Adolf Hitler and he is just as cute as can be, what will you do? Kill the baby and save millions of lives? What would you do?

i wouldnt kill him but maybe id stick him with nuns or keep him in positive activities....


Since the soap Dallas is out on DVD I was wondering if anybody knew if the soap General Hospital is going to be released on DVD any time soon.

I became hooked when it started being shown on ABC1 but they took it off due to poor ratings and I am desperate to see it again although the acting was terrible it just had something about it which hooked the viewer. So if anyone with power is reading this pls pls pls bring it back or atleast release it on DVD come on give us back GH!!


I don't care, just as long as it's not in the immediate future, or in my children's children's future...

When you say the part about the gay guys, what is it - that they're good looking?  Do you have ANY idea as to what a good number of gay guys do in their bedrooms?  I can tell you this much - it would gross the sh_t out of you if some straight guy wanted to do those things.  So, are they really "good guys" or jerks who like penises instead?

I've never said this statement, but I understand it from a woman's point of view. It has absolutely nothing to do with gay men and what they do or don't do in the bedroom. This statement is said in frustration when it seems like there is a shortage of quality, available men. The only relevance it really has to gay men is that they are not "on the market" for single, hetero women.


Do you agree that having a cute yahoo!360 pic or a great reputation helps u get more people to answer u’re questions or get them to choose your answer as the best?\nI think that people like Jane furrows & Richard with such great reputation get a few best answers even for their average ones (taking nothing away from them-they are genuinely good) just because of their name. Also more people answer your questions if u’ve got a cute 360 pic –just look at miss tea or poison ivy, they get 50 odd answers for plenty of questions when most others dream for anything above 10, still struggle to get 3+. U don’t even a need a cute pic just a 360 pic helps people distinguish u from rest & u get more answers (that’s exactly y I got myself a 360 pic-next time they see my Q they’ll say its that guy with robin’s pic!)! Anyone agree with this? Got anything similar to say?

i really don't think it makes a difference... what i can't stand is questions  like...do you think i'm cute or do you like my avatar? also...i can't not stand those wikipedia cited answers because they are so damn long and don't really clear anything up..i would rather people answer from the heart or with their own intelligence\n\npeople who answer questions based strictly on a picture are superficial


dichotomous means there is a black-and-white split. you are either one OR the other, they are mutually exlusive. for sex, you are either male OR female. for gender you are either straight OR gay. you can't be a little of both if they are dichotomous. \n\nfluid means there can be a gray area. for sex, male and female fall on a continuum with male on one side and female on the other, and you can be somewhere in the middle (transgendered). for gender, straight and gay fall on a continuum with straight on one side and gay on the other, and you can be somewhere in the middle (bisexual).\n\nin the past, everything was viewed as black-and-white. now more and more we are hearing about transgendered people and bisexuals. it is altering the way that people view the entire concept of gender indentity and sex, allowing for more shades of gray.\n\nhope this helps.

I've seen so many interesting fables and myths on this subject, just wondering if there is anyone who actually knows the truth.  First one with the real answer gets 10 points.


OK Ladies...This is for you. How come there never has been a woman President? You are 50% of the population so what's holding you up from electing a woman President. The men have screwed everything up so much I believe it's time for a woman to give it a shot. When women get into politics they do an outstanding job. ( I know...I know....That famous black woman Congresswoman who shoved a policeman and became an over night famous idiot ) For the  most part women do a very good job when they get into Government so why .........after all these years.........we only have men Presidents. It's time ladies!!! It's time.

I agree we need to get some ladies with good agenda into politics and let them have a chance to fix what the male politicos have been unable to.\n\nGood Luck and God Bless!!

Find the indicated probability.\nIn a certain college, 33% of the physics majors belong to ethnic minorities. If 10 students are selected at random from the physics majors, what is the probability that no more than 6 belong to an ethnic minority?

33% is equal to approximately 3 out of 10(3.3)\nTherefore, if six out of ten were to be selected, that would equal 66% of ethnics - more than twice the probability.\nIt follows then that in iself, the odds would be just over two-to-one against this happening.\nSo the probability of more than of no more than six would be two tone ON.\nDoes that make sense?

According to my poor understanding, man can't really satisfy, is it so?

remember that the responsibility for a woman's satisfaction doesn't just depend on man...if a woman knows HOW to have sex and ENJOY it than she can help her partner satisfy her and he 'll very probably end up satisfied as well.

There's a debate that romantically involved means a commitment or serious relationship. I met this guy who thinks I'm being romantically involved and we had sex once but dated for a brief moment and now is seeing a girl who he's had sex with more than 3 times.

He want's to f*ck you whenever he is horny, but not have to call you or listen to your problems.

if a cop pulls me over, what's the proper procedure on my part/ how should i go about a conversation with the policeman?

all I can say is hide it well, but it depends on how much you've got and how stoned you are!  If you are totally out of it, i wouldn't be driving anyway...but if you are just say what you have to...one word answers....they might just give you a caution.\n\nHere in the UK if you are caught with weed and they can tell it's for personal use, you get a caution, not sure about driving though....should be ok if you aren't totally out of it, and have only got a bit on you.


there is this girl, and she seems to be friendly with all the other guys at my work, except for me, she seems to just rush by me in the hallway, and not really say anything of substance, or even really joke with me.  Is this good or bad?

maybe she likes u and dont know how just to approach u. Maybe ur too good looking to touch or talk to. Why dont u talk to her? Then u can tell how she acts toward u,if this situation is bad or good.If bad;well what did u have that u didn't have before? if good;well maybe u gain a new friend. good luck

I been dating my girl for over a year and a half, and it would be an understatement to say it has been easy.  We have had to deal with a lot of difficult situations to make it work, but we have made it.  I consider myself a good guy, lets just say momma raised me right.  Open doors, make sure she gets what she wants, I even make sure its ok with her before I go out (not too many guys do that) but like i said we have been through a lot and i truly love this girl.  Sometimes I feel like I dont get that in return, I have spoiled this girl, and I feel bad when I say no to her on something, which rarely happens.  Should I expect to be treated the same way?  I dont want to break up with her, I just want to feel like I am a priority in her life, we are talking about moving in together.  I have talked to her, its the little things that matter, I just dont know how to either help her change, or deal with it, any suggestions??

Wow!!! Are you for real!! Seriously, you're a nice perfect guy and now you want your girlfriend to be nice and perfect too. If this girl is so important to you and vice versa, then maybe she can make a little effort to change herself and you can try to be a bit more tolerant. A little compromise from both of you can take this relationship places but dont expect perfection. Good luck!!

There is a topless patio bar opening in a neighbouring city here in Ontario, Canada. Is that legal anywhere south of the 49th?

It is perfectly legal in Washington DC, which is not a state, but is part of the United States.  Hmmm, how does THAT work.  =)  A few years ago, after Brandi Chastain did her famous jersey removal (wearing a sports bra) after scoring the winning shootout goal in the Women's World Cup final, a dozen or so members of the Ohio State University women's rugby team posed for a topless photo in front of the Lincoln Memorial, as some sort of bonding ritual.\n\nDC is under the jurisdiction of Federal law, and evidently, the Feds don't mind boobies.  The rest of the US should lighten up!


It sounds French. I suppose I could dictionary.com it but this seems easier right now.

Triage, as used in medical situations, basically means to evaluate the seriousness of one's condition so that those most in need of treatment will get it first.

Yea thats pretty sad, but I think it'll be the same for as it was for kerby puckett. for he did on the field will compensate for what did off the field. As for Prince i had as the NL ROY and I think he's on great pace to be so.


In interviews, they ramble on like they're philosophers / priests, and seem to think that they are God's gift. They may have a particular talent, and may have worked (and cheated) hard, but they are no more worthy of veneration than anyone else. Call me jealous, if you want.

We live in a society of "god heads" another way is saying this is that we live in a Descartian society where 99percent of people believe blindly in the separation of body and mind even those athletes that you believe are over rated, even they will speak as though they own a body that they have made into a superb machine... but this is an illusion, that makes for a mediocre life... so those people who are "plants" or "god heads" regards those who own these awesome machines as having what to them are super human abilities because when they attempt to dunk a basketball or throw  a football they fail miserably... and so they believe it is because they are not gifted but in reality it stems from their lifestyle, they are god heads everything they are can be summed up in words, they can't walk more than a few yards to their car, to be agile they would have to go out into space in be weightless... are you beginning to see how fare reaching your question is... don't admire what you see just be... and you will be more than a plant with a tape recorder tied to top of it....

im 29 girl from srilanka. i did one year course in nursing in a privat college and also i worked as a trainee nurse nearly one and a half year i would like to lookafter the elders. can i get any work like this in us,canada,uk, australia, europe in nursing homes or elders home or at homes indiviually pls if anyone knows about this help me im always thanful for you , if you know older ppl at homes indiviually seaching people like me pls help me

In most states you will need to acquire your C.N.A. (Certified Nurses Aid) or a H.H.A.(Home Health Aid) License. Both of these can be used to work in a nursing facility, hospital or home setting to take care of the elderly and such. But you need to check in to the state you plan to live. I know that in Nebraska, you don't need a H.H.A. license to do in home care. But in NY you do. And depending on the state, this will tell you the cost of the classes. In Nebraska its a 76 hour course (2 week) and in NY its like 160 hours ( 4 weeks). So it all depends on where you gonna live. In the USA at least.. hope this helps!


It appears a simple question, but it is complex. A complex question is a logical fallacy. First admit the question presumes there is a reason for us to be here. That is fair. So let's make that presumption. In making that presumption, we presume we are created, and the creator had a reason to create. Am I stepping on toes? Shucks. I am being logical.

In the beginning there was God, but he was lonely, so he created the universe and everything in it, and he creatd us.  People who depend on him for everything.  Now he is our heavenly father.\nRead Genesis.


Along the lines of Battered Woman Syndrome, which may be more properly diagnosed as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder...but without enduring actual physical violence...is it possible that a man could drive a woman insane this way?\n1.  Constant complaining about anything and everything, regardless of how small:  He is a miserable person with a miserable life, and after a year it finally makes her miserable too.\n2.  Verbally lashing out:  When petty complaints don't receive a dramatic response, he then gets excessively loud and defensive over nothing at all, as if he has been insulted or injured by her lack of response.\n3.  Idle threats, both violent and petty:  In the one case, he says things like, "If you don't start talking I'm gonna f*cking hit you."  He will threaten other actions that really mean nothing to her at all.  Either way, he never follows through, but it's just as bad that she has to hear it.\n\nMore details coming....

He sounds like a spoiled brat with reality issues. She needs to drop him ... NOW! \n\nAnd yes, it's possible to affect someone's mental health by that sort of behavior, especially if they have rather delicate mental stability.


I know for sure that he likes me a lot, I know for sure that he does not have another girl(!!!), but from time to time he is agaist of us meeting...I almost live from date to date...

Your partner's bahabiour is quite controlling and dominating,so it appears on the surface.Displaying affection is a good thing,but overly showing ur neediness to be with him all the time,without giving him breathing space sounds troublesome.Maybe ur behaviour is childish,SMSing calling just to say a hi, and hello every now n then.Maybe this is acting as a repellent.Grow up.The more u run after him,the more he would want to cut contacts with u.Men like to win their love through a hard way.Anything easily falling in their hands is not seen as a compliment.Further,do u want to be treated the way he does to u now?Has he declared his love for u verbally?U sure this isnt freindship?Also,his giving u lesser attention is drawing u to him closer.Are u sure u love him?

I want to know what foods I should eat and what I should stay away from so that I don't loose my focus of loosing weight. If someone could help me out, I would gladly take the advise. I am 30 years old and weigh 217.0 and would like to get down around under 200lbs...

stay away from fast food, sodas, cakes, cookies, etc.  eat lots of fruits and vegetables, soups and salads (with lite dressing or better yet, no dressing at all).  drink plenty of water and exercise.  good luck!


Also if you have information on courship/dating about norway I'd apreciate it.

Why more men than woman? This has me curious to see if anyone out there has an explaination for it. I pasted a piece of the article.\nA bolt of lightning is also referred to as a stroke. One stroke can carry about 200 million volts of electricity, definitely enough juice to kill a person instantly. When it comes to lightning striking humans, it seems men are more likely to be the victims than women. In fact men are struck by lightning about four times more often than women.

A Center for Disease Control report found that the threat of lightning strikes increases with the amount of time spent outdoors.  Another report in the Journal of Environmental Health found that a greater number of lightning strikes occur in work related activities.  The industries with the highest number of lightning strikes were agriculture and construction, fields of work dominated by males.\n\nThis would seem to indicate that there is less of a biological reason for men being hit by lightning more often and more of a social reason.  Men tend to have outdoor jobs at a much higher percentage than women and thus are more likely to be in a position to be hit by lightning.


My boss was so upset, just as if I were a traitor, even after my 9 years of dedicated service to the agency. I resigned, giving 1 wks notice. People do this all the time, don't they? What did I do wrong? I do not have any "trade secrets" or anything to divulge to my new employer. I'm not management, just a regular, average Joe.

No. I was loyal and honest and hard working for an employer for 10 1/2 years, and he fired me with NO notice and treated me like crap with absolutely no reason. i'm sure it was from bad politics and back stabbing.\n \nSo your 9 years of service was valuable and he doesn't like you quitting because you were good. That should make you feel good. Imagine if he said "good riddance!"\nUnfortunately for employees the good they do for their employers is always in the past, and no debts are owed on either side when they part company.\nIf it is a huge problem for them, for you to be gone on a weeks notice, then they weren't running their company properly, and it's not your fault. It'll do them good to learn that lesson.\nJust for future reference, you didn't have to tell your boss you were going to a competitor.


I have a PC which is used one. When I creat a document the author of the document is the name of previous owner of the PC. How will it be possible to change it to my name without new installatian.

Is it because of the fights, scoring, defense, saves, big fan of the home team, just love the game, nothing better to watch, your drunk and can't sit up so hockey is the only thing you're able to watch, the commercials, Don Cherry, did I miss anything?

I like (and ref) hockey and soccer for mostly the same reasons:\n\nConstant action - it might sound conical, but I love it when you see 2 guys running on empty in front of a goal... who's gonna dig deeper, who wants it more.  Football you can run out of bounds, baseball you can step off/out, basketball you can call a timeout.\n\nAge of players - it's not uncommon to see a player in their late 30's.  They might not have the endurance of the younger players, but sometimes brains beat brawn.\n\nPenalty kicks/shots - who DOESN'T like them.\n\nBig saves - watching a goalie/keeper lay out and sacrifice his body is one of the ballsiest (if that's a word) things in sports.  And when the crowd "aaaaahhh"'s afterward is pretty cool too.\n\nThose are just a few common reasons.  But for hockey in particular, I like the speed and hitting.  Fights are a bonus, but they're rare.  I grew up in Minnesota, so hockey is in my blood.

My friend weighs 206lbs and I weigh 134lbs. We have been walking for 30 minutes a day on the treadmill. I walk at 4.8 she walks at 4.2, both with no incline. She burns 183cal and I only burn 145cal. WHY????

You are probably getting your figures from the machine's calculation which, as people said above, factors in the weight of the person doing the work.  In addition, her heartbeat, relative to her age and weight and resting heart rate, may play a role in the way that the machine calculates burn rates.


A personal trainer takes the time to know YOU as a person, what your fitness goals are, what you enjoy doing and what you don't, your personal strengths and weaknesses, etc.  \n\nShe then designs a workout for you which will help you achieve your goals and challenge you without making you give up.  This workout can evolve as you gain strength and endurance.  She might work out with you or just guide you.  \n\nMy trainer works out with me once a month. In between I work out 3x a week on my own for 80 minutes each time.  I talk to her at least once a week to tell her how I'm doing and if I have any questions or problems.  When we work out together, she goes over whatever new concepts she introduced last time to make sure I'm doing those exercises correctly and then teaches me something new or a more challenging way to do an existing exercise.


Can anyone recommend any companies who supply data loggers which can record temperature and current simultaneously; and then upload the results to a PC? \n\nIdeally I'd be looking for at least 6 channels of temp. measurement.

I know that APC, the company that manufactures battery back-ups, has the ability to monitor temperature and upload the data to a PC.  They may be able to do current as well.\n\nOnset is another company that provides a number of data loggers.  They have loggers that will record temperature, humidity and take the input of an external sensor as well.  They also have the ability to upload to a PC.


In one of my other question two horses asses got hatefull in trying to defend high gas prices.

Some use a bad sense of reason. Yes the companies only have to answer to their shareholders. They feel no responsibility to others. I think if people reasoned on this-they would see this is not jello ( product no one must have)-this affects people's life. !! Some can Not afford heat (need it to live in cold climates-I had someone say it does't happen-yes it does on news every winter-and it happened here locally) some can not get to their jobs and support their families, and emergency vehicles need gas-who will pay-us. And food must be delivered to stores-who will pay-us. And many other life saving needs (hospitals need it). This is why the government should step in--this means human lives. Would the government step in on others things that effected humans-you bet. History.\n\nDon't worry about the horses-butts that defend this action with smooth words and philosophy of rights. There is a right and wrong. This is hurting and killing people .


i want to keep a stock record in my computer on daily basis can any one show me the easy programe for lay man like me to run.?

I own a home now, but want to move.  My credit has gotten bad since my last home loan.  I would have at least 20% to put down on a new loan, do you think I could find someone who would finance me?

Probably, but you will not get the best interest rate. A big problem will be if you have too much other debt: car loan, credit card bills, etc. This plus the higher interest rate will limit how big a loan you can qualify for. Before you go house hunting, go to a reputable loan officer and find out whether you can get prequalified.\n\nAnother way to go will be to look for a house with owner financing. \n\nI hope that you are taking steps to clean up your credit and to correct whatever mistakes you have made that have hurt your credit rating.


Okay I am starting 9th grade. I am not alot over weight , but I have that little stomach that I can't get rid of. What should I eat and what kind of exercises should I do??

Eat balanced meals. Its best to have several meals a day but of smaller portions.  Snack on things like fruits and veggies instead of things high in fat or sugar.  that will help prevent weight gain...but to lose the fat you need to do cardio, either running, swimming, skipping (thats the best workout actually!!!)and crunches always help too. a few good ab workouts are:\n1. lying on your back with your legs up in the air and bent at 90degrees at the knees...do small crunches lifting just your shoulders off the ground and squeeze your upper abs and exhale while lifted. breath in on your way back down.\n2. lying on your back work the lower abs by keeping your hands under your butt and lifting your legs straight into the air...keeping your back flat on the ground and legs straight. once your legs get tired you can bend them and do about 10 more crunches!!  \nDrink LOTS of water too!  Start now!  and good luck


Hi all,\nI'm stuck on a question for my dog psychology course so wandered if I may pick your brains! The scenario is: If you wanted to find out if barking was the "norm" and you studied 10 dogs in kennels. Having spent a few days with the dogs you found 7 barked only very little(once a day), and the other 3 barked a lot. what would be possible reasons why the other 7 DIDN'T bark much? None of the dogs studied are deaf, and all of the dogs are said to be barking breeds.\n\nWhat might the reasons be for the seven dogs not to have barked as much as the other 3?\n\nI would be most greatful to hear your ideas thanks.

Think of physical reasons as well.  Maybe barking hurts their throats.  In my lab's case, barking apparently bothers her ears as she shakes her head after barking.\n\nAdditionally, maybe their previous owners used a bark reducing training collar.  One that sends a shock when the dog barks.\n\nFinally, maybe like some people, they just don't have much to say.


My husband and I are celebrating our first year anniversary but due to a child who is a little less that controllable and a brother who is temperaily living with us we are having a hard time on how to celerate it. The brother isn't responsible enough to take care of our son and our sone isn't really capable of being left without strict supervision. so going out is out. I am looking for ideas of ways to celebrate after our son goes to sleep. Something personal and romantic that takes minimal planning

I have a toddler myself, so I know going out can be hard.  Weather permitting a beneath-the-stars picnic in you backyard could be fun and romantic after the rest of the house goes to sleep.  Think cold chicken salad in whole wheat pitas that are easy to eat with you hands and for desert: chocolate covered strawberries!


I am a Christian, trying to live by God's ways, but PLEASE tell me where the balance is in this department. Christians Only Please ! I don't believe in one person being under another person's control. Could it be that that scripture has been misunderstood or something ?

Okay, I know you requested Christians only, but I have studied the Bible extensively.The Bible was not meant to be taken literally for the most part, and it was written during a time where women were held to be inferior. I'd disregard St. Paul's tirades on women,as a suggestion.Society has changed greatly since biblical times and a fair amount of what was written regarding gender roles no longer applies to today's society.I would suggest treating your wife as a helpmate and with respect,and expect the same from her,as the bible says to do.She should not have to be submissive.St. Paul had some issues with women 2000 years ago.*Sorry,just got your update.Please switch the gender context on what I said regarding yourself.*


I know that they used to be terrible and very scary stories about these in the late 90's.  My wife has commented that she would like some.  I want to do more reseach on this topic first.  Don't get me wrong I love my wife and her body the way they are right now, she wants the boob job.  So are brest implants better now or not?

As a mammographer, I am not a fan of breast implants. As we know, early detection of breast cancer DOES save lives. It is very hard to find an early breast cancer on mammography, even with improved techniques. The implant hides the breast tissue on the film. Please research this aspect of it. If you still decide to have implants, have them put in BEHIND the chest wall. That will allow a bit more breast tissue to be imaged during mammography. Good luck to you and please do your homework!\n\nHere are what some "experts" say. You can go to the links for additional info:\n\nBreast implant interference with imaging breast tissue, with between 22% and 83% of mammographically visualizable breast tissue obscured by breast implants. http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/breastimplants/b-adverse-events.html\nIn women without implants, mammography detected 67% of cancers. In women with implants, mammography detected 45% of cancers. \nhttp://www.breastcancer.org/breast_implant_mammogram.html\nScreening mammography missed 55% of breast cancers in women with implants, compared with only 33% among women without implants. \nhttp://www.menagainstbreastcancer.org/online_support/resources/mammography_and_breast_implants.php\n\nFor even more info: \nhttp://www.menagainstbreastcancer.org/online_support/resources/mammography_and_breast_implants.php\nhttp://www.fda.gov/cdrh/mammography/mmwebbro/mambrochure.html\n\nI have also “handled” probably over 2,000 breasts with implants.  The far majority do not feel natural.  This is especially true when the implants are about 5 years or older.

Yes, she is. Mrs. Bush is also more polite, chose better for a husband - non cheater, and she does not lie about where she is from.

Not the 1st woaman president I want.

all of my past relationships have all ended the same way. First we stop talking as much and then we talk once a day , and my current relationship is headed the same way. Please tell me how to stop it from happening.

well.. ive been through that before.. have you tried asking yourself what went wrong? and if you do, you must learn from your mistakes.. try to love the guy just being yourself.. you know.. just be plainly you in that way the you two are open with each other...the more the guy shows his inner self.. the more proof that he trusts you.. you see true love is not just following your heart... its both your heart and mind... you can love the person and at the same time loving yourself too...\n and if this happens again... you just think it this way - "they're not meant for me.. God has someone better for me"... these trials make you stronger... and someday, you'll find the right guy for you..and if that day comes, you'd just look back and just feel happy bout your past...you'll know the purpose of your past. just be strong..


I dont think he does hes more concerned about him self,money and money again(oil)There are alot of things flying about stuff about fast food companies giving money to the goverment,scrificing the health of our people,i think his daddy still tells him what to do.What are your veiws???

Bush is concerned about the American people...in terms of what they think of him. Of course, since he has no chance in hell of re-election (amendment limiting the number of terms a president can serve to two), he might as well get real and stop trying to bs us with his sucky speeches and vague promises. Pretty much, I think he is trying to finish out this term without getting assassinated - that seems to be his goal. Also, he must perform well because all the eyes of the world are on him.


I gave her Four-Leaf Clover just to make her SMILE after failing her test AND TOOK ME A WEEK to find.While she was gone,i took notes for her in math class and inside the notebook i put a four leaf clover to make her suprise and feel happy.For her birthday,i gave her this letter with watch and perfume.i gave her teddy bear,CD,Food.when i give her present,i always suprise her with certain things and she loves that.i bought her ice pack becuase she said her ankle hurts everytime when she runs.when she have math question i always help her even if i have alot of homework.we used to walk to school together.i also have been a good listener.for example,when her grandmother was about to die,she called me and i have been a good listener saying ur grandma's gonna be fine and when her dad cheated on her mom.i listen to her gave her couragement.show her love and care for that person.this girl brokeup with me.do u think she will comeback and do u think she will miss me?and she DOESNT TALK to me why?

wow-- u sould like a great guy, i wish i had a guy like you. I think she cant believe what she has. Maybe she is taking a break to find out what she has is true. Dont ignor her, just give her time. dont call her, dont do anything. wait for her to gather her thoughts. and she will come back, she will realize what she has. Did she say y she broke up with you? I know its hard, and we have all gone through it, just give her time... time heals. dont call her.

Is the size of car's alternator larger or bulkier than truck's altertnator? Could I have a maximum voltage, ampere and wattage to supply residential electrical needs when I convert this DC alternator (12v or 24v? n what ampere?) from vehicle into an AC generator 220v about 25A or 6500w?

You would need multiple alternators plus an inverter to accomplish this.  A common Delco GM alternator puts out 120A at 13.5-14V DC at an engine RMP above 3000.  You would have to put the DC through an RV inverter (for use camping where you hook up a battery bank and get AC out).  Assuming inverter efficiency of 85%, you would need 7475 (or more if e is less than 85%) DC watts.  You would need 5 alternators to power your inverter.  The problem is the inverter is VERY expensive, as in thousands of dollars.  \n\nThe problem with using a car alternator as an AC source is it is THREE PHASE.  I have had people disable the regulator and get high AC voltage out, but it is three phase.  You would have a difficult time clocking multiple auto alternators so the phases all matched, and then you would only have 3 phase voltage (probably less than 220V but 120V) and it wouldn't be regulated.\n\nFor 6500 watts you need a belt driven gen head.  See northern tool link to belt driven 25KW head.  Also look at their inverters for taking DC and making AC (yeah, I know--americans use 120 but I'm sure you could find a supplier to go to 240)\n\nBut dollar for dollar, you would spend more to fool around with DC alternators than just getting a gen head which was rated at the wattage and voltage with self-regulation.  ALSO you must REGULATE the RPM.  SO just hooking it to a car engine isn't going to work without a governor, which car engines don't have unless you preserve the cruise control option and hook up the speed sensor (which may give weird results at high engine RPM such as 3600 for 60HZ or 3000 RPM for 50Hz).  NOTE: my links are for 120VAC at 60Hz.  Europe will have different specs.

I need serious answers only. If your going to say yes provide proof websites or name of books if you are going to say no do the same to support your answer. Once again serious answers only!

Given that the bible clearly says have nothing to do with them or you will be defiled - it suggests that there must be something serious behind them - if they were all just making it up then surely it wouldn't say anything.\n\nYes there are those who just make it up - and there have been some TV programs on this, but...\n\nAs for whether you can actually contact the dead - as a Christian we believe that you can't - instead you'll hear from evil spirits pretending to be the dead.


Assume a satellite suffers a launch anomaly.It didnt reach the disired orbit.after evaluation of the situation it is found out that the satellite cannot be correctly guided to the orbit GEO but can be perfectly guided to any other orbit nearer to GEO.Which orbit could b the best option and why?

If the satellite is designed for use in GEO, It would not be much use in any other orbit. That is because satellites in GEO are always in the same part of the sky as seen from the ground. Home TV broadcast satellites are in GEO, so you just have to point your dish antenna at the satellite when you install it and then fix it permanently it in place. To communicate with a satellite in any other orbit you have to have a computer controlled motorized antenna that follows the satellite as it moves across the sky. And the moving satellite will rise and set, like the sun, and be impossible to communicate with it when it is below the horizon, because radio signals travel in strait lines and cannot go through the Earth. In very low orbits the satellite may be above the horizon at your city for only few minutes each week!

I am talking about the baseball pitch. What hand grips work well, as well as arm mechanics for throwing the pitch? Please only serious responses.

IT wrote a report on it.  THis is the history and physics too.\n\nThe Batter’s Nightmare:  The Knuckleball\n\nThe knuckleball has baffled scientists, hitters, and catchers for the past century, due to its unpredictable fluttering movement.  Charlie Lau, a major league player and hitting coach once said, “There are two theories on hitting the knuckleball.  Unfortunately neither of them works.”  Bob Uecker, a long time catcher, said of the pitch, “The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.”  \nIts invention is credited to Eddie Cicotte, who is best remembered for being a member of the infamous Black Sox, and Lew Moren, a pitcher during the early 1900’s.  Apparently they simultaneously developed the pitch during the first decade of the 20th century.  Although the knuckleball is very effective, there have been relatively few successful knuckleballers in the major leagues although several pitchers have thrown it along with several other pitches (knuckleballers normally throw only two pitches, the knuckleball and fastball).  This may be in part due to baseball scouts’ preference of pitchers who can throw 95 mph, but it also is because of the difficulty of learning to throw and control the pitch.  Despite these barriers, there are several advantages to throwing the knuckleball.  Because it works best when thrown at about 65 mph, people with only good (not great) arm strength can throw it.  Also it is not as hard on the arm and shoulder as other pitches.  Knuckleballers can throw more pitches each game (starters normally throw 105-120 pitches per game), more innings each season (Phil Niekro threw 342 innings in 1979, 50 more than second-place JR Richard), and play longer in the major leagues (Niekro won 100 games after his 41st birthday.)  Some major league pitchers, like R.A. Dickey (see below picture) have come back to the majors as knuckleball pitchers after suffering “career ending” arm injuries.\n\n  \nTim Wakefield (left) and R.A. Dickey (right) are two active knuckleballers.\n\nCurrently there are three knuckleballers in the Baseball Hall of Fame, Phil Niekro for his 318 wins1, Ted Lyons for his 263 wins, and Hoyt Wilhelm for being the first relief ace and his 1070 appearences2.\nThe knuckleball’s fluttering movement is created by the interaction of the seams with the surrounding air.  As the ball travels through the air, the oncoming air hits the seams and creates turbulence, and more flows off the ball to one side.  Then because of Newton’s law that says that “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” The ball moves to the opposite way that the air was moving.  Because the ball is slowly rotating, new seams come to the front of the ball and again create turbulence, but because the seams are in a different position, the air and the ball move differently; this effect allows the ball to change direction in mid-flight.\nThe most effective knuckleballs are thrown between 60 and 70 mph, and rotate 11/2 times on the way to the plate.  This speed is ideal, because it gives the ball enough time to change direction, but is not slow enough for the ball to be strongly affected by gravity.  They are thrown so that the horseshoe formed by the seams of the ball is facing forward when the pitch is released, because this way the most of the air will flow off the ball in the one area where there is no seam.  As seen in the below picture, it is easiest for the air to go off the ball to the left side where there are no seams, because the seams do not obstruct it, so at this point the ball would move to the right.  But if the ball was thrown another way, with the seams in different positions, the air might go off to both sides, causing the ball to not move at all.\n \nThe wind often has an effect on the movement of the pitch.  When the knuckleball is thrown into the wind, the air flowing off to one side of the ball has more speed, and causes the ball to be push

when a guy mentions that 2 different girls like him, everyone doubts it?  I mean, they say things like "Yeah, right" or "you're so full of yourself"  \n\nAs soon as a guy mentions his attractiveness in a positive way, as a knee-jerk reaction, we doubt it and even mock the assertion.\n\nIs it because every guy would boast about his attractiveness if we let even one say it?  Because if that's the case, shouldn't we be getting to the point where we do that with girls?\n\nAnd before anyone thinks I'm trying to claim any prizes ...it's just an observation.

Guys like to brag about girls, especially if they get to have sex with them, a girl not really, i dont think she would like to brag about doing it with a guy.\nBecause a guy tries alot to make himself look good with girls, we are often made fun about the things we say. unless they have proof


my dad died 11yrs ago i want mum to be happy. i caught my mums fella with another woman he denied it to my mum he said it was hes sister i wonder does every one kiss there siter that way. and a few weeks ago he came on to my sister yes mums own daughter mums in denial and hes taking her aboard like nothings happened .i hate him hes in hes 60s dirty old man.

If your mums in denial like you say then it doesn't sound like she is in love with him anyway. She may just want him for a companion. You gave her warning so now let it go and be there for her when she catches him in the act. Maybe she doesn't want to see that he's like that so she turns her head. She may just need him to keep the loneliness away.


My boyfriend and I just recently broke up, we were never married but lived together and had a child. We both came to an agreement on the visitation with him and my son. I still won't legal confirmation so I don't have to worry. What are the steps I need to take for our mediation plans through the courts without a lawyer?

go to your courthouse and file for custody and visitation. (they'll help u w/ the form.) when you n ex go b4 the judge, tell him what you agreed on and as long as it is agreed on by both of you, the judge would have no problem with it. when speaking in front of the judge, state what visitation u have agreed on clearly, and it will be written into an agreement for both of u, n u will each get copies. if you have agreed on a support ammount make sure you tell him that also, and that will be written up too. just remember, they are three diff. things and you need to address them as such.

Married with children for 7 years.Tired of being unhappy.Just staying for the kids.Fell in love with co-worker.Don't know if he loves me.Who knows if we will ever be together.I can't leave my family to be with him now,and as far as I know he doesn't want a relationship in general..I know its best to end the affair, but I still want to spend time with him,but I don't want to get any deeper than I already have.I knew I would probaly get hurt from the begining but I'm looking for something to bring a little happiness.If you want more info on my sitch let me know.Thanks for your time.

dont just stay for the kids, if u are miserable, they will be miserable. it would be better to get a divorce and set up a happy home by yourself with the kids. then after this u can think about dating again. u dont have to have nothing serious but keep it out of your kids lives as much as u can. i hope u find happiness. best wishes.


I want it to be very special as these are very nice people.It will be tough for me to find such a nice manager and co-workers at some other job...so I need to be really thoughtful about my words...can someone please tell me some link where I can get help from..

Say what's in your heart and it should come out naturally.  Coming from you, will sound more genuine and not "copied" from someone else.

the quality of dell computers has really fallen in the last couple of years.  they have started using cheaper processors and microchips.  you can buy one computer from compaq and the same exact computer from dell and dell will charge you so much more.  this is a shame because dell really did have great customer service.
