A Fort Worth elementary school teacher has been removed from the classroom after allegations related to her discipline of fifth-grade Hispanic students who missed a day of school last week. \n\nSome parents of the students at T.A. Sims Elementary School said teacher Jan Shannon chastised their children for missing school on May 1. She made them sit outside in the sun and read for two hours without water or bathroom breaks, several parents said. They also allege that the teacher called the students derogatory names, including one that refers to those who crossed the border illegally. \n\nMay 1 – known as Labor Day in Mexico and other Latin American countries – was the day when thousands of immigrants skipped school and work to participate in "Day of Action" rallies and voter registration drives across the U.S. \n\n"My daughter didn't go to school on Monday. She stayed home to work on a project" with a classmate, Aracelia Moreno said. "When they turned the project in on Tuesday, they

This "Teacher" is teaching hatred! She is a bigot and a narrow minded FOOL!....I'm outraged! These are CHILDREN for Goddess sake!!! How the HELL can she think it would be o.k. to treat children this way??? It's akin to a concentration camp!!! She should have her teaching license revoked and have to apologize publicly to ALL these children and serve LOTS of community service !!!!!...P.S. This is just another reinforcement to me that my decision to home school is correct!


I am just curious if anyone knows why they stopped showing Sailor Moon.I used to watched it.But I never saw the with the Sailor Starlight one.

Because according to the Japaneese storyline Sailor Uranus and Neptune are lesbian lovers and that cannot be told on a kids show in the USA

The simplest solution to this problem can be done by using the "Sine Rule". If you do not know this rule you can find it in any standard textbook of trigonometry. The rule is stated below. \n\nIf the side BC, CA and AB of a triangle be represented by a, b and c respectively and if angles <BAC, <CBA and <ACB be represented by A, B and C respectively, then the area (say, A0) of triangle ABC is given by\n A0 = 0.5*a*b*sin(C) = 0.5*b*c*sin(A) = 0.5*c*a*sin(B).\n\nNow, in this case BF = (2/5)a and CF =(3/5)a [since BC = a; BF and CF are in the ratio 2:3]. Similarly, AE = (1/8)b; CE = (7/8)b; AD = (1/4)c; BD = (3/4)c.\n\nApply sine rule to triangles ADE, BDF and CEF and denote their respective areas as A1, A2 and A3. \n\nFor first triangle we can write\nArea of triangle ADE i.e. A1 = 0.5*(b/8)*(c/4)*sin(A)____(1)\nRecall, area of triangle ABC i.e. A0 = 0.5*b*c*sin(A)____(2)\nDividing equation (1) by equation (2) we get A1/A0 = 1/32.\n\nRepeating similar procedure with triangles BDF and CEF we obtain A2/A0 = 3/10 and A3/A0 = 21/40 respectively.\n\nNow, area of triangle DEF is equal to \n(A0 - A1 - A2 - A3) \n= {1-(1/32)-(3/10)-(21/40)}*A0\n= (23/160)A0\n\nAs A0 = 160 units so area of triangle DEF is 23 units.


I ask because he performed miracles, which in essence are spells. I'd appreciate not having a long list of just bible quotes though, thanks :)

Surely miracles are some from of sorcery. I also found out something else which I didn't know before, some of the silly people who told me I was evil for using crystals, but crystals are mentioned in the bible, and I believe it says nothing about it being evil. I don't know about Jesus, I am aware that there are records of a fellow called Jesus but I don't know if his miracles were real. I do know that many ancient people believed that some people could perform miracles because they could heal and do other things which we take for granted today.


My monitor used to have other options. However, since I re-installed the operating system (Windows 2000), without installing anything else, my monitor became 16-color only. \nThe Hardware/Device Manager list shows a yellow question mark besides the Other Device and all its sub-items (PCI device, Multimedia audio controller, and Video Controller). It showed that these drivers were not installed. \nShould I re-install these drivers? I don't remember I ever needed to do it before.\nI don't have any CDs for these devices, but heard I can download from the web. How can I find out the type of my devices and what to download?\nNot sure whether this information is useful: before I re-install my OS, my DVD driver was not usable any more. It worked perfectly before, but at some point it suddenly failed to be able to write DVDs. I don't remember whether it could read one because that was a while back.\n\nThanks a million!\n\nViv

1.Identify the motherboard manufacture and the chipset series from the Manuals or use software like siso sandrosoft\n\n2.Go their site and download the appropriate drivers from their site.


I bought a brand new computer and I have no idea what capabilities I have with this computer. Can anyone tell me which DVD's I should buy?= or-?

Way back in the stone age when DVD burners were first available to us, the format used was DVD-R so, most older types of home DVD players that are hooked to your TV will play this type of DVD. DVD+R is a more recent format of DVD burning, so most newer home DVD players will play these, as well as the DVD-Rs. A DVD+RW or DVD-RW are the REWRITABLE type of DVDs, just like your CD-RWs are. The only difference is the +/- designations. If your burning DVDs for other people, it's a good idea to use the DVD-R type discs, so they won't have a problem playing them on their player at home.

i need to know when you are playing pool how it deals with science?

It deals with geometry in that you have to set up proper angles and predict where the ball should end using multiple angles. It also deals with physics in that you have ot control how hard you calculate your shot in order to end in a specific location, as well as things like friction coefficients, ball speed, ball rotation and spin, energy transfer, energy loss, and other aspects that you normaly dont think about when playing  a rack in your local bar.


Does anyone know who that is? Rumor also has it that Bow Wow was seeing coming out of hotel with an older woman. I know that much is true. But was it anyone famous that we know or was it just a stripper like it was said?

What?!!? She left Lil' Bow Wow. You know what I always said that Bow Wow was too small for that girl. She's like really thick and manly like for a woman. I bet he had too be aggressive on that in bed because she's so much bigger than him. Damn!! It must be like playing football in the bed. A damn cornerback tackling a Tight End or a Fullback! I'd have to break off simply for the fact that she's bigger than me. That would piss me off.

okay. i own a tanning bed, and just started using it about a week ago... i use it everyday... about 9 minutes a day. heres the problem... within 2 minutes of me getting out, my skin itches. its mainly my stomach, and the tops of my legs... ( the part that gets the most tan )  what could the problem be? allergic to the uv light? and i dont think its  the lotion i use either bc the first day i didnt use it, and had the same problem... if anybody ACTUALLY knows what they're talking about... please answer.   :)

My first reaction is that, for some reason, your skin is drying out.  It doesn't sound like an actual allergic reaction, but it could be.  An allergy (which is what allergic means) is an immune response to a foreign antigen that results in inflammation and organ dysfunction. Allergies range from the life-threatening to the annoying, and include systemic anaphylaxis (A reaction between IgE antibodies bound to mast cells and an allergen that causes the sudden release of immunological mediators in the skin, respiratory, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal systems. The consequences may range from mild (e.g, itching, hives) to life-threatening (airway obstruction and shock).), laryngeal edema (Swelling of the larynx, usually resulting from allergic reaction and causing airway obstruction unless treated.), transfusion reactions, bronchospasm, vasculitis (Inflammation of blood vessels), angioedema (swelling in of skin, mucous membranes, or internal organs), urticaria (Multiple swollen raised areas on the skin that are intensely itchy and last up to 24 hr; they may appear primarily on the chest, back, extremities, face, or scalp.), eczematous dermatitis (itchy red rash that initially weeps or oozes serum and may become crusted, thickened, or scaly), hay fever, rhinitis (runny nose), and conjunctivitis (eye infection).  \n\nI would discontinue use and contact your doctor to make sure.


i want the definition of least count and the method to calculate it for different instruments w.r.t main scale and vernier scale

Definition: The least count is that smallest unit of measurement which an instrument can take precisely (i.e., without any estimations, such as eye-estimation, etc.).\nOr,\nLeast count is the lower limit of precise measurement from a given instrument. Using an instrument, one can not precisely measure a quantity smaller than the least count of that instrument.\n\nExamples: If a meter-scale has millimeter divisions on it, the least count is 1 mm (so, one can't measure a length shorter than 1 mm from this scale). If a voltmeter dial has one volt divisions on it, the least count is 1 V. If a digital ammeter has a display like 0.000 (four digits), its least count is 0.001 A.\n\nMethod to calculate least count: If an instrument has main scale and vernier scale (e.g., the slide-callipers, the screw gauge, etc.), the least count may be calculated using the following formula:\nLeast count = M/N,\nwhere, M = Value of one (smallest) division on main scale (least count of main scale, in fact), and N is the number of divisions on the vernier scale.\nIf in a common slide-callipers the value of one division on main scale is 1 mm and the vernier scale of is divided into 10 equal divisions and thus the least count of the instrument is [M/N = 1/10], or, 0.1 mm.


i started a weight journal today and i weigh 230, by the end of june or early july id like to weigh around 195.. how can i lose this much weight in that time? please be specific.

hi :) am not sure whats available in the markets...but, this is what i did to lose weight... PLEASE DONT TAKE PILLS... pills are nothing but anorectic agents... they make you feel less hungry... there is no way to loose weight fast... though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly... it has to be combined with diet and excercise... pills are very bad in the long run... can lead to impotency and infertility...\n\ni lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time... i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight... i was 65 kilos when i started... according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight... i stand 5'2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight...\n\njust dieting wont help like i found out in my case... diet + exercise will do the trick...\n\ni'll tell you what i did... it worked for me... hope it works for you too :)\n\nthe trick is not to starve but to eat smart :) and stay healthy :)\n\nwhat you should cut down :\noil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi - cal... you'll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky... if you are not sure about what foods to avoid... check the net...loads of info available...\n\nvegetables / meat to avoid :\npotatoes - very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot... avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns... all these put on weight... eat only lean meats... thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk... eat just the egg white...\n\nfruits to avoid :\nmangoes , bananas , jackfruit\n\n\nnow that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided...you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat... thats how i felt... there is loads of stuff you can eat actually :)\n\nhere they come :)\n\nfast foods are a big no no... you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets...\n\nits best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight...after those few months... once you've shed your load...you can get back to your usual lifestyle... of course with some caution...\n\n\nmy diet...\nbreakfast:\n\nskimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit... i am from India... am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here... but let me tell you something... Indian food is very very oily and very difficult to diet...\n\nand try cereal in the mornings... weetabix... etc... have a good breakfast...alwaays use brown bread... whole wheat brown bread is very good for weight reduction...\n\n\nfor lunch , we are staple rice eaters... rice is bad for fat reduction... but i still took rice because its a habit tht cant be changed... everyone takes rice here... so... rice - one cup - 100gms and lots of veggies cooked in less oil.. and absolutely no coconut and curry with less oil... all in all keep your oil intake to 2 tea spoons everyday... that would be just for seasoning... also using olive oil helps a lot...\n\n\nthen for dinner... compulsarily have wheat... pasta is a good option...but make sure you buy wheat pasta... check before buying... and of course in pasta absolutely no sauces... some varities of sauces are acceptable... as far as they dont have cheese , butter , oil ,mayonisse and fattening substances in general... you can use tomato spicy sauces etc... make sure your sugar intake doesnt cross 2 - 3 spoons per day... (not tablespoons) and no butter and ghee of course... eat a lot of fruits and vegetables... and all kinds of cereal... if you are hungry... eat a fruit... or you can eat stuff like puffed wheat and puffed rice... but no puffed corn... corn products again put on weight...\n\n\neat sandwiches as m

I've heard different things about living on the top floor of a building since reading yahoo answers. What do you feel are the pros and cons? More chance of water damage from rain? No tenants overhead? What? Thanks

PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THIS.  ANYONE LIVING IN ANY TYPE OF BUILDING THAT HAS A SLIDING GLASS DOOR. NO MATTER WHAT FLOOR!!!!!!!!!  I EXPERIENCED A TERRIBLE THING A FEW YEARS AGO AND HOPE YOU BENEFIT FROM IT.  I LIVED ON A 3RD FLOOR APT. BUILDING AND FELT SO SAFE BECAUSE I KNEW IT WAS SO EASY TO GET IN A HOME FROM THE FIRST FLOOR.  WELL IT'S NOT TOO HARD TO GET INTO A 3RD FLOOR EITHER.  I AWOKE TO A BLACK MAN STANDING IN THE DOORWAY OF MY 3RD FLOOR BALCONY WINDOW.  I DIDN'T HAVE EVEN ONE SECOND TO DO ANYTHING BUT SCREAM MY HEAD OFF!!  MY 2 YOUNG BOYS AND I HAD FALLEN ASLEEP IN THE LIVING ROOM AND I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT TO LOCK MY BALCONY, I LIVED 3 FLOORS UP.  THIS VERY HIGH MAN CLIMBED UP THE LATTICE ON THE SIDE OF THE BALCONY AND CAME INTO MY APARTMENT AND TRIED TO RAPE ME, STOLE MY VIDEO CAMERA AND THEN BELIEVE IT OR NOT ABOUT A YEAR AGO I WAS WATCHING A TV SHOW AND SAW THAT THIS SAME MAN HAD BEEN DOING THIS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND USUALLY RAPED THE WOMAN!!!  HE LIKED IT WHEN I FOUGHT BACK, SO I DIDN'T FOR A MOMENT, THINKING THAT THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED AND I WAS GOING TO DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO NOT GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTED. HE DROPED ME TO THE FLOOR AND WENT ON LOOKING AROUND FOR THINGS TO TAKE. HE WAS ARRESTED DUE TO THE REPORTS THAT THE OTHER WOMAN GAVE THE POLICE.  DON'T BE CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY FEELING SAFE BECAUSE YOU ARE HIGHER UP ON THE 3RD FLOOR 'OR HIGHER'.


What would you like him to do and say? What would be the best 1st impression that a guy can give?

Honestly, respect is so important. If I feel there is a slightlest lack of respect, I won’t answer. Don’t focus on what I look like or who I am… talk about other things, make me laugh. Don’t brag…


Reading the stories of Bernard Malamud, I had a vague feeling that the American Jew who is the subject of study from various perspectives does not describe the milieu in Malamud's stories. Therefore the question.

The terms are almost synonymous.  The only difference I could see that is that the term Jew in America defnines a person as being Jewish, not American, and America is solely a geographical location, and not part of an identity.  The term American Jew seems to combine to aspects  - Jewish and American - in one identity.  Does that make sense?


no complicated replies coz i'm only in high school

First let me answer formally, we will simplify later on: superposition is a mathematical property that holds when a certain quantity is described by a function that is linear with respect to a given parameter of interest. The consequence is that if you add up different contributes to the parameter, you add up proportional contributes to the function result.\n\nIn simpler words, a linear system is affected by its inputs independently.\n\nFor instance, mass superposition holds in the gravitational field (because the gravitational field equation is linear with respect to the mass): suppose you have a reference mass M and another mass M1. M will measure an attraction force that depends on M1 (and vice-versa). Then add a third mass M2. Now M measures a force that is the (vectorial) sum of the two independent forces from M1 and from M2. Mathematically: f(M1, M2) = f(M1)+ f(M2).

I have heard of the answer before, just can't seem to find it in my brain.  Plus I own a blue saturn and thought it would be cool for a license plate.

A common confusion; Triton is the largest moon of Neptune, with a diameter of 2,700 kilometers (1,680 miles). It was discovered by William Lassell, a British astronomer, on October 10, 1846 scarcely a month after Neptune was discovered. \n\nTitan is the largest moon of Saturn. Discovered by Christiaan Huygens in 1655, Titan is larger than the Earth and the second largest moon in the solar system, rivalled only by Jupiter's moon Ganymede. \n\nI have seen photos of the surface of Titan and its sand and rocks are an orangey red colour. A probe (Huygens) landed there.

What are your greatest, tangible fears? My class is making a haunted house, I don't need ideas for it, I just need to know what people fear the most that is a physical object, so I can piece everything together. Thanks for any help!

Spiders - A common fear.  What really gets me freaked out is when I walk through a web or one falls on me, especially in my hair.  It seems much worse when there are spiders in an enclosed space.  Adds to the fear.

Isnt it just a fight between the car manufacturers?

Most top sport these days is really about money. F1 has just taken it to the extreme.\n\nIf you have ever been to an F1 race the atmosphere is electric.\n\nSome say that there is no physical effort involved however the physical fitness needed to drive an F1 car under race conditions for 2 hours is huge.\n\nOn balance I think it's a sport but I can see why other may disagree. \n\nEach to their own I say.


My 7 yr old daughter has a sore throat, but no fever so I dont think it is an ear infection.  What do you recommend to get rid of wax in ears? We are not going to the drugstore now to buy drops, any homemade cures?

One part vinegar and two parts water, put it in her ear every few hours and that'll clear up the infection. I got ear infections constantly when I was little and it worked every time.


Unemployed so no earned income to use, just rollover money. The rollover money going into various mutual funds. About 20 years to retirement.

Don't worry about it.  Honest mistakes of less than $1 don't mean anything.  In fact, when you do your taxes, the IRS likes you to round everything to the nearest dollar.


I just received notice that my rent will increase by 4% but I thought that Los Angeles City was covered by rent control and that 3% was the maximum allowed annual increase.

Only apartment buildings issued a certificate of occupancy on or before October 1, 1978 are subject to the rent control and many places are exempt. See the site below to find out if your apartment qualifies. Second, while automatic annual rent increases are capped at 3%, the landlord can apply for larger increases and the notice you received may have been informing you of that increase. Also, if the landlord has not increased the rent for several years, he can raise it 3% for each year since the last raise.


We communicate very well when we see each other.  Why am I speechless when he calls?

you lead a boring life.  do something interesting that both you and him enjoy then share your experience.


I am a bartender in a little town I just started working there in the last month. The employee that is the control freek was one of our friends but for the last two months he has really treated people like crap he has said some really mean things about just about everyone that comes in there. Now he is treating me very bad and I don't know if I will go back to work there again, but this is the hometown bar that everyone goes to. I just have had enough of his nastyness.

Talk to the friend.  Ask him what is going on with him, and let hm know that you have observed a change.  Maybe he is under some severe personal stress, or dealing with depression or some other mood altering condition.  Depending on the response that you get, you may either find a way to work out the solution with the cranky friend, or go to management to seek a solution.  \n\nNo matter what the friend says or does, make certain that your behavior is professional.  If you do decide after trying to work out the problem with both the friend and the management, that you will no longer choose to work there, then give proper notice, do your work, get a good reference and go find another job, preferably while you are still working.

What, in your opinion, is a lesson that we should learn from studying history?

Some people says it's important to study history because it repeats itself.  Some people say it doesn't exactly repeat, but it rhymes.  In any case, it's important to understand what has gone on so you can understand what is happening.  \n\nFor example:\n\n1)  Our founding fathers studied history and knew what caused great empires and dynasties to fail.  They came up with the three branches of government that made our constitution really stable with our checks and balances.  \n\n2)  The world was horrified by the ethnic killing of the holocaust during Nazi Germany.  It took some time and effort, but the UN finally stepped in to stop the ethnic killing in Bosnia, Kosovo, and is working on Sudan.\n\nHere are some issues to think about as you ponder about the future...\n\nRemember the Crusades?  Those were the deadly campaigns between the Christians and Muslims.  Is that history repeating itself?\n\nWhat caused the Athenian Empire to crumble?  Was it the exceedingly expensive and protracted war against Sparta?  Did that have anything to do with Al Quaeda wanting to bankrupt the US by guerilla warfare?

what are the parameters for ping /flood command ?.

Description\nThe /usr/sbin/ping command sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) ECHO_REQUEST to obtain an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway. The ping command is useful for:\n\nDetermining the status of the network and various foreign hosts. \nTracking and isolating hardware and software problems. \nTesting, measuring, and managing networks.\nIf the host is operational and on the network, it responds to the echo. Each echo request contains an Internet Protocol (IP) and ICMP header, followed by a timeval structure, and enough bytes to fill out the packet. The default is to continuously send echo requests until an Interrupt is received (Ctrl-C).\n\nThe ping command sends one datagram per second and prints one line of output for every response received. The ping command calculates round-trip times and packet loss statistics, and displays a brief summary on completion. The ping command completes when the program times out or on receipt of a SIGINT signal. The Host parameter is either a valid host name or Internet address.\n\nBy default, the ping command will continue to send echo requests to the display until an Interrupt is received (Ctrl-C). The Interrupt key can be changed by using the stty command.\n\nBecause of the load that continuous echo requests can place on the system, repeated requests should be used primarily for problem isolation.\n\nFlags\n\n-c Count Specifies the number of echo requests, as indicated by the Count variable, to be sent (and received). \n-w timeout This option works only with the -c option. It causes ping to wait for a maximum of 'timeout' seconds for a reply (after sending the last packet). \n-d Starts socket-level debugging. \n-D This option causes a hex dump to standard output of ICMP ECHO_REPLY packets. \n-f Specifies flood-ping option. The -f flag "floods" or outputs packets as fast as they come back or one hundred times per second, whichever is more. For every ECHO_REQUEST sent, a . (period) is printed, while for every ECHO_REPLY received, a backspace is printed. This provides a rapid display of how many packets are being dropped. Only the root user may use this option. \n\nNote: This can be very hard on a network and should be used with caution. Flood pinging is only permitted by the root user. The -f flag is incompatible with the -i Wait flag. \n-I a.b.c.d Specifies that the interface specified by a.b.c.d is to be used for outgoing IPv4 multicasts. The -I flag is an uppercase i. \n-o interface Specifies that interface is to be used for outgoing IPv6 multicasts. The interface is specified in the form 'en0', 'tr0' etc. \n-i Wait Waits the number of seconds specified by the Wait variable between the sending of each packet. The default is to wait for one second between each packet. This option is incompatible with the -f flag. \n-L Disables local loopback for multicast pings. \n-l Preload Sends the number of packets specified by the Preload variable as fast as possible before falling into normal mode of behavior (one per second). The -l flag is a lowercase l. \n-n Specifies numeric output only. No attempt is made to look up symbolic names for host addresses. \n-p Pattern Specifies up to 16 'pad' bytes to fill out the packet you send. This is useful for diagnosing data-dependent problems in a network. For example, -p ff fills the packet with all 1's. \n-q Specifies quiet output. Nothing is displayed except the summary lines at startup time and when finished. \n-r Bypasses the routing tables and sends directly to a host on an attached network. If the Host is not on a directly connected network, the ping command generates an error message. This option can be used to ping a local host through an interface that no longer has a route through it. \n-R Specifies record route option.

Been on here now for several weeks and almost reached Level 2 many times, but i'm getting about 2 Violation E-mails A Day. Which isn't to bad...3 out 5 are making it through. I believe Yahoo! answers takes away 2-points for every violation and then of course they take away the 5-points for asking a question. \n\nSo my question is this so get your calculators out:\n\nIf I answer *no more* answers and nobody votes or rates me for additional points and I ask 5 questions a day and 2 of those questions are deleted for being a VIOLATION. \n\nHow many days will it take before I become pointless and sit at zero points asking 5 ?'s and getting 2 per-day deleted sitting at 226-points?\n\nThanks\n\n\nAlso, why does Yahoo! feel the need to feed my ego with this stuff>>> Thanks!\nYou answered a question (2 points)\n\n????????????????

If you answer no more questions, you get no points.\n\nIf you ask five questions a day, that'll cost you 25 points, and if you get two violations, you get 2 points taken away for each one.\n\nSo in a day, if you keep having the same terms(you ask 5 questions, two of them are reported, you don't answer any), you'll lose 29 points a day.\n\nYou can do it mentally, you have 226 points, and if 29 are taken away each day, it will be blank days before you're pointless.\n\n29 x 10= 290>226\n\n29 x 9= 9 into 20 + 9 into 9\n        180 + 81\n        261>226 \n\n29 x 8= 8 into 20 + 9 into 8\n        160 + 72\n        232>226\n\n29 x 7= 7 into 20 + 7 into 9\n        140 + 63\n        203<226\n\nYeah!!!!\nUnder the terms that you mentioned, on the seventh day you will have 23 points left, in which you can't ask 5 questions, 5 x 5= 25,not equal to,23\n\nYahoo feels the need to feed you're ego, because you may not be asking appropiate questions!!\n\nBy the way, your welcome!!!


I just got hired at Mcdonalds. Does anyone work there? i need some advice!!!

McDonald's is a great first place to work. Teamwork,stress and dealing with the public are in hot demand. McDonald's has very specific work procedures which will help you anywhere. Also McDonald's will take people with no experience which you will need for most jobs.


if they were correct shouldn't it be correct to kill anyone, anywere who converts to islam?

No, this is taking away a persons basic human rights to make a decision for themselves, and to be allowed to practise whichever religion they should choose.\n\nIs it any wonder that many non muslims are wary of muslims.


I thought that the "big" debate was over, but yesterday I drove by a group of white teens holding a confederate flag up with a sign that said, "It ain't going down!".  Personally I could care less about a flag.  To me its only a symbol.  I look at a person's heart.  I know lots of nice people that adore the confederate flag.  I'm more concerned with issues within the black community versus a flag that harms no one.  Black people don't go up in arms.  BET affects our community in a worse way than the confederate flag.  I'd rather see a flag than the horrible stuff that I see on music videos.

there should not be any more issues about the confederate flag, it is a great design. I am black and fly the confederate flag from my truck, i have confederate bumper stickers, confederate belt buckle and ny cell phone cover is the confederate flag, big deal. I once wore a confederate soldiers hat at Miami airport, saw people looking at me a pretended to be oblivious to the fact, let bygones be bygones


"The bill would hand President Bush one of his top tax priorities, a two-year extension of the reduced 15 percent tax rate for capital gains and dividends, currently set to expire at the end of 2008. Republicans credit the tax cuts, enacted in 2003, with boosting economic growth and creating many jobs." This is a quote from a Yahoo news story.\n\n\n"A two year extension of the reduced 15% tax rate for capital gains and investments".  Doesn't this sound like a tax break for the weathier citizens in our country? I know I don't have any capital gains and investments to get a tax break on.\n\nWouldn't that ensure a tax break for Halliburton, for example, or the oil companies who are reporting record earnings? How does it help the working people?

CLEARLY it's for the rich...\n\nwhile Pancakes may have some investments, only making that much, pancakes can't afford to have many investments... the more investments, the more money you save... and the more houses you sell (rich people do it much more) the more money you save... these are clearly things rich people do MUCH more than the middle class and things poor people seldom do... \n\nI would also like to point out if pancakes is married to someone making near his/her salary, then they are in the top 20 percent of American households, according to the census... (only 20 percent of America makes over $80,000 in a household, www.census.gov)... so while pancakes may not be "rich" he/she is certainly doing better than the vast majority...\n\nThe richer you are, clearly, the happier you are with the president... I think that goes a long way in explaining people's political affiliations on here


Do you think he should of got life? because he probaly wanted the death penalty so he could be rememberd as a hero,or should he have been killed for his part?

Whether or not one is in favour of a death penalty --- and I am not --- looking at this case, one should remember that on 9/11 he was already in federal custody. And there was evidence that the plotters kept him out of the loop because he was so unreliable.\nSo no matter how involved he was in the plot, it would have been bizarre if he became the only person executed for 9/11.  There were others more involved, perhaps some in custody in Guantanamo Bay (?).\nAnd I agree with kendra's sentiment that death might have been what he wanted so it's beter for him just to rot in a maximum security prison.

OMG He looks just like my boyfriend. I would love to have a threesome with him and my boyfriend.


I was in bed this morning and I was watching my ceiling fan spin and after starring at it for a couple of seconds it appeared to slow down and then it even looked like it went the opposite direction. It was trippy. You often get this illusion when you look at spinning car wheels. What causes this?

Temporal aliasing\n\nTemporal aliasing is the term applied to a visual phenomenon also known as the "stroboscopic effect". It also accounts for the "wagon-wheel effect", so called because in video or motion pictures, spoked wheels on horse-drawn wagons sometimes appear to be turning backwards.\n\nTemporal aliasing is one example of a range of phenomena called aliasing that occur when continuous motion is represented by a series of short or instantaneous samples. It occurs when (a) the view of a moving object is represented by a series of short samples as distinct from a continuous view, and (b) the moving object is in rotational or other cyclic motion at a rate close to the sampling rate.\n\nExplanation\nConsider the stroboscope as used in mechanical analysis. This is a "strobe light" that is fired at an adjustable rate. Suppose you are looking at something rotating at 60 revolutions per second: if you view it with a series of short flashes at 60 times per second, each flash illuminates the object at the same position in its rotational cycle, so it appears that the object is stationary. Furthermore, at a frequency of 60 flashes per second, persistence of vision smooths out the sequence of flashes so that the perceived image is continuous.\n\nIf you view the same rotating object at 59 flashes per second, each flash will illuminate it at a slightly different part of its rotational cycle. Fifty-nine flashes will occur before you see the object in the same position again, and you will perceive the series of images as if it is rotating once per second.\n\nThe same effect occurs if you view the object at 61 flashes per second, except that each flash illuminates it a little earlier in its rotational cycle and so, it seems to be rotating backwards.\n\nIn the case of motion pictures, action is captured as a rapid series of still images and the same stroboscopic effect can occur.\n\nWagon-wheel effect\nSee main article: Wagon-wheel effect \nMotion-picture cameras conventionally film at 24 frames per second; however, the wheels of a vehicle are not likely to be turning at 24 revolutions per second, which would be extremely fast. However, suppose each wheel has twelve spokes and rotates at only two revolutions per second. Filmed at 24 frames per second, the spokes in each frame will appear in exactly the same position. Hence, the wheel will be perceived to be stationary. In fact, each photographically captured spoke in any one position will be a different actual spoke in each successive frame, but since the spokes are close to identical in shape and color, no difference will be perceived.\n\nIf the wheel rotates a little more slowly than two revolutions per second, the position of the spokes is seen to fall a little further behind in each successive frame and therefore the wheel will seem to be turning backwards.\n\nDerivation\nThe reason it is called "aliasing" is that in electrical engineering, when a continuous signal is replaced by a series of samples — say, a 24.1 Hz signal is sampled 24 times per second — the result seems the same as if a 0.1 Hz signal were sampled 24 times per second, so 0.1 Hz is said to be an "alias" of 24.1 Hz.


I need as concise and relevant a summary as possible. Plus i need links to get more information!!! Well,..wat are u still reading for,...hop to it man! :)

*LoL* you know, you can always use Wikipedia..the link is below in case you don't know Wiki's site =p *LoL*\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymers\n\nAnyway...HAPPY STUDYING *LoL*


as a christian myself, i say the answer is no, but we know that belief in Jesus provides us with the only sure hope of salvation. thats what God says. what other religion provides us with that?  we all fail, consequently, we all need a saviour. Jesus is our only saviour.  we appear arrogant and pushy, its only because we've seen something better, and we want it for all of you.  thats the truth.  responses invited from christians and non christians.

no, we are no better than anybody else.  The only reason that we are any different is not because of something that WE did, it is because of something JESUS CHRIST did...HE forgave our sins...I have nothing of myself to be boastful of, like Paul, I am a chief among the sinners.  Please check out my profile and answer my last question posted.  I posted it pretty late in the night and haven't gotten many answers,but would like to know what is on the minds of people.  Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU.


I love NYC and i enjoy watching movies that feature The City That Never Sleeps. Which movies should i watch? Any genre is okay as long as the setting's in The Big Apple.

I think that the French Connection is the best.  There was a great chase scene involving the West End elevated train through Borough Park.


I wanna my friend but he's a bad boy(thug). He means good but goes through alote of things in his life no one should have 2.It seems that all the boys I like now are all bad boys.Is that normal?

It is pretty normal.\n\nIt is not really self esteem, though I am sure that many others will disagree.  It is also not true that girls are attracted to abuse, or violence – most girls are really repelled by that sort of behavior.\n\nA lot of it has to do with confidence.  The “alpha male” type is invariably confident – though not usually in a terribly cocky way – and confidence is the sexiest thing a man can have.  If a man is confident in himself and his abilities – chances are I can be too, but if even he is unsure of himself – then I should be much more wary of him as well.  \n\nNot only is confidence sexy, but lacking confidence guarantees failure.  A confident guy will ask almost any girl out – and she may go out with him as a result (she may not but that is life).  The guy who lacks confidence, who never asks the girl out – will never date her.  I have lusted after a LOT of guys who I know liked me, but who never got up the courage to ask me out.  If you saw the last Harry Potter film, or read the books, think about why Hermione(?) didn’t go to the dance with Harry – not because she did not want to go with Harry, she obviously wanted to go with Harry, but Harry was too afraid to ask her – and so she settled for going with the lout who DID have the balls to ask her.\n\nMost girls, are terribly insecure and more than any thing else, want attention, they want to be wanted by men.  The thing is, that very frequently the guys who are “alpha male” types – the ones who tend to be more violent, and abusive to others, are also the ones who are least afraid to express their desires for a girl.  The “nice guys” the ones who “play by the rules” are more likely to believe that they need to “respect” a girl by not expressing and keeping his “desire” for a girl in check.\n\nA part of this also has to do with the myth that girls don’t like sex – the “bad boy” doesn’t care if she doesn’t like sex, he is going to get his anyway – and in the process satisfy the girl.  The “nice guy” will “respect” a girl and not satisfy either of them.\n\nThere are also a small number of girls who were abused as young girls who find the abuse to be attractive, in a very twisted, and unconscious sort of way – but that is a small number of girls, and I don’t think that is the population you are asking about.


By NOT drafting Reggie Bush,\n\nWhat the hell are those poeple smoking, lets hope not everyone from Texas (including our President) smoke that shit.

No there is no way of telling for sure. The Texans need help in other areas. I though they would have trade down and try to pick an o-line men. to pick a back up with the first pick would be stupid for a team that never one more then seven or eight games. comparing Williams and Bush success in the NFL would be hard...it's not as plain as day as Manning or Leaf comparison. I really think the Saints made the mistake...unless Deuce is going to get the Ricky Williams treatment.


example "i think your hot, here i wrote my # down for you\ncall me!

most girl are afraid of rejection just like most guys. that or they are just shy.


I have an uncle who will be going to Iraq in a couple of months. Could you tell me what kind of communication with home you guys have over there? E-mail, satilite phone, mail. Also, how is it really going over there? I know the media covers the good and concentrates on the bad.

I am in IRAQ right now and getting ready to leave next month.To the best of my knowledge all bases have phones (pay and DSN(digital sattelite network)internet access and most of all mail).DSN phones are free but usually have a certain time limit due to many soldiers wanting to use them.The base I am on is considered a " green" zone.For the most part we are very safe here.The military takes very good care of the troops over here.Of course there are troops that do not have it as good as we do here.Some of the smaller FOB`s(forward operating base)are not fully equipped as the base i`m on.You should have no trouble communicating with your uncle.Tell him i said to be safe.


I am wondering if Palpatine was married and is there any information on his wife or at least were she is referenced at? I read that he was but then I couldn't find that reference again. I thought maybe that was an inaccurate source. Thanks.

The Barbara Hambly novels first deal with Palpatine's family at any length, although the initial suggestions that Palpatine fathered a son with another of his Force-sensitive female agents, Roganda Ismaren, were later discounted. In the Jedi Prince series, an insane three-eyed mutant named Triclops is revealed to be Palpatine's true son, and the Jedi Prince Ken his grandson. In the series, Triclops is impersonated by another mutant, Trioculus, who intends to use Triclops' paternity as a stepping-stone to the Imperial throne. Trioculus, Triclops, and Ken were all heavily involved in a plot masterminded by a group of con artists posing as the shadowy Prophets of the Dark Side to wrest Imperial authority away from Imperial Intelligence Director Ysanne Isard. Following the false Prophets' defeat, Triclops and Ken disappeared, though some speculate that Ken was one of the first to attend Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. Though all information on Palpatine's family history was purged from the Naboo archives, some family members remained active in galactic politics. Besides Triclops and Ken, his known relatives included his grandniece Ederlaath Pallopides (mentioned in The Dark Empire Sourcebook), and his third cousin, Voplau (mentioned in the comic book Boba Fett #1/2: "Salvage"); Palpatine's relatives apparently prospered from their association with him, since they were occasionally spoken of as wealthy and powerful. Several years after Palpatine's apparent death at Endor, a peace initiative was secretly arranged by Imperial Admiral Betl Oxtroe, to be negotiated between the New Republic and the Empire, whereby Pallopides would be crowned as a ceremonial Empress. A constitutional monarchy would be created with the New Republic's Provisional Council replacing the Imperial Advisors, making them the effective power in the new government. The plan collapsed when Admiral Oxtroe was assassinated, possibly by Noghri. The assassination was implied to have been conducted by agents of Palpatine working to pave the way for his return depicted in Dark Empire.


i need help with these other question too. if a quarter back throws you a ball and you drop it this is called a what? \n\nit's the second down and you run for 4 yards what is next down and how many yards do you need for a fist?\n\nhow many downs are there in a series of plays?\nhelp me quick i have a test on this!!

Hey you better get a job and pick up your game. A woman needs attention and be reminded that she is worth buying things for. And how can she feel like ahe has a man when he dont have a job, a woman always think about her future. I left my x bf because is was slow and didn't have a job and a better guy came along after a while we fell in love. He always gave me lil tings even though the were not expensive it showed how much he thought about me and that made a difference . Now we are married for 1 !/2 years with kids and a lovely home. Think about it and good luck.

Greek mythology consists in part in a large collection of narratives that explain the origins of the world and detail the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, goddesses, heroes, and heroines. These accounts were initially fashioned and disseminated in an oral-poetic tradition; our surviving sources of Greek mythology are literary reworkings of this oral tradition. Greek mythology was also reflected in artifacts, some of them works of art, notably the repertory of vase-painters. The Greeks themselves referred to the myths and associated artworks to throw light on cult practices and ritual traditions that were already ancient and, at times, poorly understood.\n\nThe span of stories and characters in Greek mythology ranges from the atrocities of the early gods to the brutal wars of Troy and Thebes, from the youthful pranks of Hermes to the heartfelt grief of Demeter for Persephone, all depicted in minute detail in a bewildering range of media. The cast of characters includes many gods, goddesses, heroes, heroines, monsters, daemons, nymphs, satyrs, and centaurs.


Lacey gave me her email.  I keep trying, but I don't get anywhere. I have to be doing something wrong. I put it in the search bar and hit go and I get a screen that says there's no match.  She is an employee at cingular wireless. Can you help   me?

Are you sure her email address follows with .com?  Some companies use other suffixes like .net or .org after the business on email addys.


how do u know if ur gay or not? give me details

Who do you find yourself thinking about as you orgasm after j**king *ff, males or females?  Is it a male or a female?  Who arouses you if you let them (not if you force it and not if you try to prevent it -- if you just let it happen) males or females?  The person who makes butterflies appear in your stomach even though you don't want them to -- is it a male or a female?  \n\nIf you are a boi as I believe you are, and you answered "females" to all those questions you are straight.  If you are a boi and you (in your honest heart, not saying what you want, but what is true) said "males" then you are gay.  If you can honestly say "both" then you are bi.\n\nYou tell or don't tell as you want, its up to you.  \n\nPeace,\n\nReyn\nSchenectady, NY\nhttp://www.rebuff.org\nbelieveinyou24@yahoo.com


She lives in Cali and I live in Maine, we both like each other and we want to make this relationship even better.  I will most likely drive to her.

WOW!  A cross country drive!  That is wild!  She is either going to be thrilled or think you are out of your mind.  If I were you I would feel her out a little on the idea of a transcontinetal flight. If it won't freak her out, then go for it!

Which documentary disturbed you because it showed that there were actually people that believed and followed what it talked about?  What was the name and what was it about?  Mine was one called Soldiers In The Army Of God, about the anti-abortion extremist that blow up things and kill people.  It bothered me that people like this sound intelligent and people do follow what they say, including the weirdo in it who said God told him to perform a circumsion on himself while he was in prison.  He did it with a razor blade.  Sorry, that smacks of mental illness to me!

In 9th Grade World History, we had to watch doumentaries on the Holocaust. It showed footage of the mass graves, emaciated bodies being dumped into the pits; other prisoners being forced to do the dumping and burying. It showed the crematories and pictures of the experiments. It was horrible. The teacher even warned us a week beforehand, and told us we didn't have to watch it if our parents signed a form saying they didn't want us to. I thought if these people went through something so horrible, the least I could do was to try to understand just how horrible it was. So, I watched it. \n\nAnyway, the year before, I had gone to Europe, and one of the places I visited was Dachau (near Munich, one of the first concentration camps). There were pictures and all at Dachau about what went on, but nothing like this documentary. So, when we watched the films in class, I remembered where I had gone, and I realized what had happened on ground that I had actually walked over. It gave me nightmares. Horrible nightmares... But I'll never forget it, and if I could go back, I would still watch it. No matter how bad it was for me, it was infinitely worse for them.\n\nI still don't understand how so many people could have believed that it was OK to kill and dehumanize so many people. I don't get it. I know all the theories and all the reasoning, but it still doesn't "sink in." It was just so vast and incomprehensible. What scares me even more is that there are still groups of people here and there that glorify the Nazi movement and agree with it, even try to emulate it in some ways. There are people that don't believe it happened... and that just blows my mind.


you fool,we don't know who's on this sight,sign off imedietly and report to the admirel.

A friend had worked for a company for 10 years was just recently fired due to a crime committed 35 years ago that was still on his record. He was hired without ever filling out an application or signing any paperwork.

In a right to work state like Texas an employer needs no excuse to fire you.\nAnyone can run a background check.\nNo one even has to know that the employer is doing this. It is public information. I am an employer and do it all the time because it protects me from hiring drug addicts, etc.\n\nNow, your friend is still probably elligable for unemployment insurance and should file.


At the beginning when the White House was selling this pig in a poke. It was indicated that the war would take 101 days, the troops would be greeted with rose pedals. There would be a stable US friendly puppet government in place by year's end. What happened? The lie, I meant story, kept changing. 1st it was to get rid of the WMD. there are none, we were still there. Then it was to get rid of Saddam. He is gone, we are still there. Then it was to inject democrisy into the Iraqi people. They have elections. We are still there. Now it is the BS about quashing the insurgency. Have these braind dead bottom feeders not remember what Ghandi said? "It is better to have one's bad government than someone else's good goverment" FARC in Columbia has been fighting 17+ years. Not defeated. The Soviets faught the Mujahideen for more than 10 years. Left empty handed. The only insurgency to be put down millitarily was Pol Pot and the Kumar Rouse. So what is it going to take? 15 more year?

War is always dangerous and unpredictable.  It cannot be done in a clinical sanitized way.  Oh sure we're getting better at it all the time but war is always messy and hard to control even with all our techno gadgets.\n\nThe problem isn't that we were mislead about the exact duration of this specific war, the problem is that we are constantly being misled about the nature of war in general.  (ie - it is foolish to strongly believe any predictions about war)\n\nWar is not a reality game show, though it is often packaged like one.  Its a serious business with very real consequences for both sides no matter who is declared the victor.  \n\nActually in war nobody wins and I think that most military minds know that at some level but aren't prepared to let the general public know.  The absolute best we can hope for is to create a situation where things don't get worse.  (ie war can never make things better it can only limit further damage, sometimes)\n\nIts too late and pointless to debate if we should have been there to begin with.  The exit strategy?  Well, only someone who really knows what is going on can make that call and its not me.  \n\nDoes anybody really know what is going on there?

What is the most creative and interesting date you have ever been on?

I took a girl to this little hole-in-the wall restaurant that was really dark and romantic.  Then we went to this park that had this really tall stone wall that went all the way around it.  We climbed up on it and walked it for a huge chunk of the night.  It was a cheap date but one of the best I remember\n\n   Another one was (and I was broke then too)  I fixed a really nice meal and went to the video store and got a bunch of old black and white movies.  We ate then turned the lights of and watched Casablanca and talked through it all.  She thought it was great because all her first dates involved a restaurant and a movie theater.  It was something that hadn't happened to her before


Mine is Oscar Robertson.  Who is yours?????  No one will ever average a triple double in a season ever again.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Wilt Chamberlain or Kareem Abdul Jabbar.  Those guys could play . . but i'm going to have to go with Michael Jordan.  He dominated the sport, tried his hand at baseball THEN came back and dominated again!  Just think of the career stats he would've had if he played straight through . . wow.\n\nHonourable mention to Robertson, Chamberlain, Kareem, Magic, Russell . . .\n\n*ALSO - according to espn.com (they have a Top 10 Point Guards in History of NBA list) Robertson averaged a triple double during his first 5 seasons*


she is going to die of fattness i hate her so it doesnt matter but i also feel really bad when her big fupa hangs out. how do i let her know...

It's a little hard for someone to not know that they are fat.  It is pointed out to them everytime they are shopping for clothes, looking in the mirror, or standing on a scale.\n\nI think you need to check yourself.  How a person looks is no reason to ridicule them.  If you hate her... fine, as long as you hate her for the right reasons.  Being overweight isn't one of them.\n\nYou need to put yourself into other people's shoes... gain some sense of empathy.  If you had a body feature that you were ashamed of (like the shape of your nose), would you want people commenting on it to you?  Would you want to be teased about it?


Al(OH)3 + H2SO4 → Al(SO4)3+H2O all the numbers are subscripts\n\nalso, can you provide how you arrived to the answer?

I think you have a notational error: did you mean Al2(SO4)3 for aluminum sulfate?\nIf that is the case, then proceed as follows: \nAl(OH)3 + H2SO4 -> Al2(SO4)3 +H2O\n1. First, balance the Aluminum atoms:\n\n2Al(OH)3 + H2SO4 -> Al2(SO4)3+H2O (2 Al)\n2. Next, balance the Sulfur:\n2AL(OH)3 + 3H2SO4 -> Al2(SO4)3+H2O (3 S)\n3. Next, balance Oxygen:\n2AL(OH)3 + 3H2SO4 -> Al2(SO4)3+6H2O (18 O)\n4. Hydrogen is already balanced (12 H)\nGenerally speaking, the strategy is to balance the least represented element first until you move to the most represented.(here it was aluminum, followed by sulfur). Hydrogen is usually the last one you balance.


The US has plenty, thank you for asking.  Better still, we have the capability to stick them into any room anywhere in the world.  And we have the industrial capacity to make more.\n\nYour question assumes the US will attack anyone who has WMDs.  That is misinformed.  Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, and Israel all have WMDs.  We don't attack them.  South Africa used to have WMDs.  We didn't attack them.\n\nNone of those countries have used WMDs in the last 60 years, including the US.  But Saddam did, both against the Iranians and against his own people.  It was his own stupidity that got him attacked.  All he had to do was let the UN verify that he had no WMDs and dismantle the production factories and he would still be in power.\n\nNone of those countries have announced that it is their official policy to destroy another country, as Iran has done about Israel.  Iran does not need nuclear power to generate electricity.  It has enough natural gas to generate all the electricity it could possibly use for 500 years.  With Saddam gone, Iran is not threatened by any of its neighbors.  What possible use could Iran have for a nuclear bomb?  Oh yeah, that Israel thing.  Israel is not a threat to Iran--unless Iran tries to get a nuclear bomb.\n\nIf Iran gets close to getting a nuclear weapon, they had better hope its the US that attacks them.  We are good enough to do it while only killing several thousand people.  If Israel has to do it, Iran could lose millions.\n\nFor those idiots who think the US armed Iraq: most of the Iraqi tanks were T-72s, T-62s and T-55s, the rest of their tanks were Type 59 and Type 69, the airplanes were MiGs, the SAMs were SA-7s and SA-9s, the rifles were Kalashnikovs.  In case you don't know, all of that is Russian, except the Type 59 and 69 tanks, which are Chinese.  Their artillery was a mixture of Russian and Canadian/US design.\n\nWhen the US military destroyed the Iraqi army, we destroyed Russian and Chinese tanks, not US tanks.  When we bombed Iraqi missle sites, we bombed Russian missiles, not US missles.  When we shot down their jets, we shot down Russian airplanes, not US planes.  When we picked up the rifles their soldiers dropped, we picked up Russian and Chinese rifles, not US ones.  How devoid of reason do you have to be to fail to see who armed Iraq?


Just because a good man doesn't provide you with the drama and dysfunction that you think is normal, it doesn't mean he's "boring" and "too nice".

First of all its not about you. She doesnt feel deserving of "normalcy" She has self love issues. Until she feels love for herself she won't be accepting of the "good things" life and love has for her.


I'm looking for creative humor here people.


I've always wondered if the guys who sign up and go to B.T and then get shipped to the front lines, witness the horrors/thrills of battle and get killed in large numbers ever feel that they are jipped when it comes to getting promotions and leadership ranks. Shouldn't a GI, who is sane (not battle thirsty), loyal, and has proven extrodinary skills in directing and tackling obstacles get a rank of authority, something high up. As opposed to a kid who graduates from Highschool with top honors, goes to westpoint and then goes to Iraq and "oversees" a squad of troops...who never really takes someone on head-on in battle? It always seems like there really is a system of Grunts contolled by Men.

Because that private has not been trained in the same things the officer has.  \n\nIf the private shows promise then he can be offered a chance to go to West Point (or ROTC) himself.  \n\nOtherwise - once that private gets seasoning he may learn how to be a sergeant.  And once he starts leading troops himself he will learn why the things that made him a good are not all the things he needs to know in order to be a good leader.


That one guy asked if God is a spider monkey!  I asked if God would punish my wife for throwing a sex party!\n\nWill God punish us for our shenanigans?

Nope. I think we need to have a sense of humor with everything. I think God is a spider monkey as He is everything. That also means He was at your sex party. Learning is everything. Only way to learn is to experience these things. There is no punishment Mr.Darwin so you have yourself a blast. Just try to treat people as you wish to be treated. Even go as far as speaking to people as you would want them to speak to your loved ones. Of course this would be my opinion which I have learned is only important to me.

Yes I know what they said about the President, but we have the freedom of speech. They are called unpatriotic, but last I checked patriotism was defined as a love for one's country - not the President of that country. Help me understand.

I agree that being anti-bush is not the same as being unpatriotic.  Only the most mindless are screaming "traitor."  \n\nAs far as freedom of speech is concerned, they have not been sent to jail.  The government has not banned their music.  People who were offended by their statements choose to express their opinions by not buying Dixie Chick music & telling radio stations they would change the channel if a Dixie Chick song came on. Both were exercising their freedom of speech.  \n\nMany people are upset with they way they worded it, implying they were speaking for Texas, instead of just for themselves.  Other's were upset that they choose to say these things to a foriegn audience.  Other's feel it is wise to hold back on such public critisism in a time of war.  \n\nAnd many people buy CDs as much on the image of the performers as the performances themselves.  If an artist's image changes, that will naturally change they're popularity.


I'd like to buy a nice (Samsonite-like) carryon bag that I can bring on my flights.  It will need to be able to hold 2 laptops and extra materials like a couple magazines, iPod, headphones, notebook and pens, etc.  I don't want something that is oversized but something I can take to the client-site also.  I'd appreciate feedback from anyone with a good experience with something that would meet these requirements.  Thanks!!!

If so, shouldn't the other life styles be taught as well? what about the guy who has many wives?

Eventually they will.\n\nI wish the elementary schools would return to Reading, Writing & Arithmetic.  And lay off the condoms, sexual orientation, and socialist indoctrination.


I am interested in studying public relations but am not sure where to go. I want the best program with real job connections to the industry.

You should still look into the other SUNY schools (you might want to call up one of the SUNY marketing departments and ask this question - they may be very frank in their response), but it appears FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) is part of the SUNY system. And according to their website (see below), the teachers themselves are all working currently in industry. So they are an immediate set of connections.\n\nGood luck!

In a simple random sample of 50 women aged 18 to 24, the systolic blood pressure had a mean, xbar = 114 and the standard deviation, s = 13.  Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean systolic blood pressure for women aged 18 to 24.\n    (A) 109.75 to 118.25\n    (B) 110.31 to 117.69\n    (C) 110.40 to 117.60\n    (D) 110.92 to 117.08

95%CI = Mean ± (1.96 * (Sample Standard Deviation) / root(Sample Size))\n\n= 114 ± (1.96 * 13)/ root (50)\n=114 ± 3.6 = 110.4 to 117.6\n\nThe answer is (C)


I have my opinion but what do you think??? Do you think anything can come out of this?

depends how mature the man is. generally it'll be a disaster, she's still a teenager and no matter how mature she may seem she still has a lot to learn. maybe something could come out of it 5 years from now... but i highly doubt right now as an 18 yr old, unfortunately

im going to the doctor for antidepresants, anyone know which works the best? How much does it cost

I also have been on a number of antidepressants.  If you have never been on them before, your Dr. might start you out on Prozac or Zoloft.  or if you suffer from social anxiety you might be put on Paxil.\nIt all depends on your DR, what type of symptoms you are having, your age  etc...\nCost depends on your  insurance company's prescription benefits.  I have to pay 20% for my meds.  I find that in my case, that mail order is cheapest (you get 3 months worth of pills at once) My Effexor XR-150mg 3 pills a day=450mg- costs me $130 for a 3 month supply.  But you probably need to try to see how the antidepressants work for you , before you buy 3 months worth.\nRemember, it can take 4-6 weeks +/- to see benefits from the antidepressants.  So be patient and seek out a counselor or therapist to talk with.  They can help you work on your 'problems'.\nGood Luck


does anyone know of a fast way to get health ins in minnesota or another option in order for me to find out for sure at least, and possibly get treated...?  I'm rather desperate, and extremely worried.  I am filling out an application for minnesota care, but that will take two months to kick in.  I don't work so I have no income, I don't have any children, and I'm engaged but not married, so none of those factors would effect what I'm eligible for.  Please help me if you have any information.  Thank you in advance

go to the local emer. rm. and tell them you are in severe pain. at that time they must diagnose and treat you. its a little shady but what choise do you have? god bless and good luck.\nThomas


Wether or not your weight scale is on carpet or hard floor. DOES IT MATTER?

Yes it does. Because carpet is softer, the scales sink in to the carpet where your feet are. this makes the reading on the scale unreliable (you could appear lighter or heavier) - like when you are resting your hand on something while weighing yourself. Hard floor gives a more reliable reading because there is a lesser chance of an error in the reading due to the flat surface.

Caste will not be a problem, but your religions certainly will ! I am an Indian too, you see :\n...When this girl has asked you to wait for 2 more years, you are already busy broadcasting to everyone here that you love her [or are infatuated with her !]. \n...And the way you are publicising that 'she also loves me' [we have only your word for that, nor hers !], makes one feel that you mainly want to spoil her name and reputation - to make sure that nobody else marries her.\nYou do not come across as either a sensible, or responsible young man - and appear to have been brought up on a diet of Hindi films and TV serials, resulting in your imagining yourself as some tragic 'Majnu' pining for his 'Laila' !\n...Wake up to the realities of life, kid - and stop fooling yourself, and others !\nAnd learn proper English first - if you want to really progress in your life and career !

Does this appear to be a victory in the war on terror?

yes.  no doubt about it.\n\ndon't you understand the master plan?  get all them damn terrorists into Iraq, then drop a few mega-ton nuclear devices, and bad-a-bing, the terrorists are gone and the problem is now solved.


I have had a vericose vein removed 3 yrs ago and still have peices of it in my leg and today one of them popped out really far and very painful. Is this something to worry about? Call the dr? Cant touch it at all.

Yes... it is important to see your doctor... as that vein could be the site of a blood clot and that blood clot could then travel in you circulatory system and into your heart... and THAT WOULD BE BAD!!!... Don't waste time... get to the ER or WALK IN CLINIC or to your DR. office STAT...  AN RN Nurse

Say you have several interest? What if you feel you may be too old to start something new?? I'm 35 and can't seem to narrow down what I may feel is not a "job"

If you aren’t happy with what you are doing, change because eventually you will become bitter with thoughts of lost opportunity.  Let your interests be your guide.  Don’t let the “can’t do” get in the way.  Think about why you like your interests and what about them would make others pay money for some element of them.  Then how could you supply such to them.\n\nBy the way, forget about age, 35 is so young.  I’m 65 and working on four different ideas for what will be my third business.  Remember, the worse that can happen is that you fail.  If so, just take a night off, celebrate, and the next morning begin a new idea.

I was taken from my biological parents at age 6 and as great as my foster family has been to me I have always longed for someone who was genetically like me.  Three months ago I finally met my half-brother and he was having serious problems with life in general.  I paid for his deposit on an apartment and had the utilities cut on in my name.  Tonight he stole $280 from me.  I am so hurt and angry!  Do I write him off or what?  Blood is supposed to mean something and the amount of money isn't that huge but I work for a living and it will hurt.  I've done everthing I could to help him and he has thrown that out the window.  What would you do?

Blood does not give you automatic love and respect for someone. You should stop trying to fix his problems and definitely not give him any more money.  Be civil, be social and try and establish a relationship but do not let it cost you any more money. And if it gets to the point that it is costing you emotionally, too, then you have to write him off.


Is there a way to clean them? Or should I throw them out?

I would just throw them away. There is no guarantee that you could clean them thoroughly without ruining them further


When the safety car is out, during a caution, I always hear the anouncers say such and such car gets a free pass.  Could someone explain what they mean by this?  Thanks from a NASCAR newbie.

The free pass rule, also known as the "Lucky Dog" rule, states that when a caution flag flies, the first driver who is one or more laps down gets a lap back.\n\nNASCAR implemented this rule in late 2003 as a safety measure to prevent drivers from racing back to the yellow (the start finish-line) to allow safety vehicles quicker and safer access to the incident.\n\nUntil then, drivers were allowed to race back to the yellow because the caution period did not formally begin until the leader crossed the start-finish line. Often, a driver with a big lead would slow his car on the way to the line to allow lapped cars to make up a lap. This was known as the “Gentleman’s Agreement.” To compensate for the elimination of this tactic, NASCAR implemented the free pass rule which immediately became known as the "Lucky Dog" rule.\n\nThe rule further states that if the driver who is designated to receive the "Lucky Dog" brings out the yellow, then that driver does not get a lap back nor does anyone else.


Jay...don't they show it in the episode where Homer finds out about his mom being a hippie?


I am 14 years old 5'7 and 155 lbs (Not fat just going through puberty.) I love playing football and have been playing a while. I am pretty good and would love to play in high school. The only thing in that my mom is 5'2 and my dad is 5'10. My dad, my uncles, and pretty much every man in my family s 5'10. I don't want to be sucked into that hole. All my friend's dads are tall (6'5, 6'2, 6'5.) I just don't want to be that kid who doesn't play in the games because he is not the ideal football height. What height to you think I will be at 18 or when I stop growing? Thank you.

sounds like you may be 5 10.  It depends on genetics and if you have brothers and sisters...becasue the odds of you inhertiting your moms height is 1 in 4.  Since you have already passed that height it is logical you will match your dads....if you are concerned you can ask your dr for a bone scan..it will tell you exactly.


So, I met this girl at my current college. We have a great relationship going on now for about 3-4 months, but she isnt returning to school next year. She is actually going to be working and such from home which is no where near my college and she then plans on traveling and eventually going to a different college far away, but all within driving distance of 3 hours. Im just not sure as what to do or anything...I really enjoy the time we spend together, but im not sure about the whole long distant relationship after spending day after day with her at school. It will be hard, but what kind of mind set should I have for this task?

You think a 3 hour drive is a long distance relationship? Try being 10,000+ miles apart... My finacee' is in Hanoi, Vietnam while I'm here in California. \n\nIt is VERY tough to have a long distance relationship. It requires tremendous amount of commitment to each other. You are your girl will be tested every day on how strong your bond is. \n\nThere's an old saying that basically says to let her go and see if she comes back to you. That should be the first thing you do to see if your long distance relationship will work. \n\nGood luck to you!

bad idea.  get them properly by going to an actual doctor and getting an actual prescription and go to an actual pharmacy to get the pills.  if you order them online you may end up with sugar pills that don't do anything or, worse, some other kind of meds that what you wanted, maybe not even legal, or drugs that are contaminated with something, and either of those last two things could kill you.

I don't think most women would have a problem with it. What's wrong with physical prowess and self-control? \n\nOn the other hand, some of the guys whom I know personally who are into martial arts are a little bit on the geeky side. It's as if they realize they're not cool, so they try to make up for it by engaging in a really empowering activity. Many of the guys who are into martial arts are also into D&D. In other words, they're dorks. But it's not the martial arts thing that makes them uncool. It's the lack of social skills. \n\nHowever, I'm sure that's not a problem for you, so don't worry about it! Just don't try too hard to impress the girls with your mojo, and you'll be fine.


i have already researched the web and found that there is conflicting medical thoughts - but the one 'fact' I can't track down is that due to slower clotting the tattoo lines will be blurred and 'wide'. So the question is in two parts can the anticoagulant difficulties of being on warfarin be managed so that there is less risk of excessive bleeding when having a tattoo and secondly is this fact/rumour that tattoos made on someone that clots slower will be of a poor quality

You can take a dose of Vitamin K, that is the antidote for warfarin. Otherwise, yes, your tattoo might not look as nice and there is a higher chance of uncontrolled bleeding and scarring


I think I read somewhere that she is, but I am not for sure. I know she was in the award winning movie "The Accused", where Jodie Foster gets raped. But, is Kelly McGillis an actual rape victim?

When the movie The Accused came out, Kelly came forward & talked to the press about a tramatic situation that happened with her when she was younger. Kelly 'only' did the movie with Jodie cuz' she had first-hand experience about rape. Kelly is kinda' strange. Jodie & Kelly are not that close anymore.

I've read all of Ayn Rand and I believe that John Gaults' engine is a possibility.  You see, the world turns by gravitational pull and magnitism.  There are no fossli fuels being burnt and Mother Earth is a big engine.  If one were able to place a geared shaft through the poles and to connect it to a generator we would have and endless supply of energy right?  I believe that we can use magnetic pistons that would be pulled (rather than pushed as in an enternal combustion engine)by opposing poles to gain the potential energy that would drive an engine that could run on its own power and then also send electricity to drive generators that would avail a free source of energy.  If the Earth can turn by forces of gravity and magnitism than it has to be possible to do this with a similar structured form of engine.  Imagine coil wrapped pistons causing a magnetic field that allows attraction and then are pushed when the poles are reversed. A titanium block would offer no resistance-pollution!

Ayn Rand was a philosopher and the question "Who is John Galt" implies that the person does not know the answer to something which is asked and so it has become another way of saying "I don't know" just the way we say "Who Knows" with a shrug of our shoulders.\nJules Verne wrote "A journey to the centre of the Earth" which you will like to read. And I think there seems to be a school of thought that thinks that there is a black hole at the centre of the earth - so perhaps it would not be advisable to try to drill a hole through it - Ha Ha


http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002983816_smoking10m.html\n\nCigarette sales up in state despite ban, tax increase\nBy The Associated Press\n\nOLYMPIA — Legal cigarette sales in Washington are up, despite a tax increase and a ban on smoking in most public places, state revenue figures show.\n\nIn the first three months of the year, 52.5 million packs of legally taxed cigarettes were sold, slightly more than the 52.4 million packs sold in the first quarter of 2005, according to the state Revenue Department.\n\nFigures for the nine months since the 60-cent-a-pack tax boost also increased compared to the corresponding months in 2004-05.\n\nThe tax increase boosted Washington's cigarette tax to more than $2 a pack, currently the third-highest in the country.

I'd say it's about equal. Hard for either to stop more than short term. They all go back to doing it.

From the other side of the fence..... \n\n\nReceived from (Tom O'Malley) who was a Director with SW BELL in Mexico City: \n\n\nI spent five years working in Mexico. \n\nI worked under a tourist Visa for three months and could legally renew it for three more months. After that you were working Illegally. I was technically illegal for three weeks waiting on the FM3 approval. \n\nDuring that six months our Mexican and US Attorneys were working to secure a permanent work visa called a FM3. It was in addition to my US passport that I had to show each time I entered and left the country. Barbara's was the \nsame except hers did not permit her to work. \n\nTo apply for the FM3 I needed to submit the following notarized originals (not copies) of my: \n\n1. Birth certificate for Barbara and I. \n\n2. Marriage certificate. \n\n3. High school transcripts and proof of graduation. \n\n4. College transcripts for every college I attended and proof of graduation. \n\n5. Two letters of recommendation from supervisors I had worked for at least one year. \n\n6. A letter from The ST. Louis Chief of Police indication I had no arrest record in the US and no outstanding warrants and was "a citizen in good standing." \n\n7. Finally; I had to write a letter about myself that clearly stated why there was no Mexican Citizen with my skills and why my skills were important to Mexico. We called it our "I am the greatest person on Earth" letter. It was fun to write. \n\nAll of the above were in English that had to be translated into Spanish and be certified as legal translations and our signatures notarized. It produced a folder a bout 1.5 inches thick with English on the left side and Spanish on \nthe right. \n\nOnce they were completed Barbara and I spent about five hours accompanied by a Mexican Attorney touring Mexican Government office locations and being photographed and fingerprinted at least three times. At each location and we \nremember at least four locations we instructed on Mexican tax, labor, housing, and criminal law and that we were required to obey their laws or face the consequences. We could not protest any of the Governments actions or we would be committing a felony. We paid out four thousand dollars in fees and bribes to complete the process. When this was done we could legally bring in our household goods that were held by US customs in Loredo Texas. This meant we has rented furniture in Mexico while awaiting our goods. There were extensive fees involved here that the company paid. \n\nWe could not buy a home and were required to rent at very high rates and under contract and compliance with Mexican law. \n\nWe were required to get a Mexican drivers license. This was an amazing process. The company arranged for the Licensing agency to come to our Headquarters location with their photography and finger print equipment and the laminating machine. We showed our US license, were photographed and \nfingerprinted again and issued the license instantly after paying out a six dollar fee. We did not take a written or driving test and never received instructions on the rules of the road. Our only instruction was never give a policeman your license if stopped and asked. We were instructed to hold it against the inside window away from his grasp. If he got his hands on it you would have to pay ransom to get it back. \n\nWe then had to pay and file Mexican income tax annually using the number of our FM3 as our ID number. The companies Mexican accountants did this for us and we just signed what they prepared. It was about twenty legal size pages annually. \n\nThe FM 3 was good for three years and renewable for two more after paying more fees. \n\nLeaving the country meant turning in the FM3 and certifying we were leaving no debts behind and no outstanding legal affairs (warrants, tickets or liens) before our household goods were released to customs. \n\nIt was a real adventure and If any of our Senators or Congressman we


I was wondering what foods are good for metabolism boosting and gives you energy.

yogurts and dairy foods definitely do not.  They are healthy foods in moderation, but they actually make people gain more weight.  They are good sources of calcium however.\n\n\nFoods with antioxidants are great, though, as well as certain citrus fruits.\n\nPommegranites, cranberries, and blueberries are the best.  These foods are also great for giving energy, loosing weight, and they help with slowing down the aging process.


Or any schools period that has that as a major?

Cryptozoology is pseudoscience. It is no different to psychism, UFO-ology, ESP-ism or studying fairies.\n\nSo no, of course no schools offer cryptozoology as major, or even as single subject. You wouldn't expect schools to offer UFOlogy as major would you?\n\nIf you want to go out and look for undiscovered creatures then  simply major in zoology, which is a legitimate science. Cryptozoology is purely for fruit loops.

4.discusses the three system architectures for a distributed database system (client/server, peer-to-peer and MDBMS). Suppose each department in XYZ had its own database on a PC and all the PCs were on the same local area network. If we wanted to turn this into a distributed database system, which of the three architectures would you choose.

To have a distributed database system, first, you need to make sure that each individual database has the same structure and layout as all the others, ie the same columns, type, etc.  \n\nSecond, you need to make sure that no data is duplicated from one pc's database to the next.\n\nFinally, if both the first and second criteria are met, and all database tables are in 3rd normal form, I would use a client/server system, and each PC would be just a client, rather than trying to tie all PC's together as a though they were one massive server.
