I want to hear YOUR opinions, whether you're US citizen or not.\nP.S Could you identify yourself in terms of nationality if you're not a US citizen?\nThank you.

I am for the war and I am U.S. citizen.  I have been 100% behind it from the beginning.  Also, we never went into this for the oil.  Do people not watch the news?  Oil prices have been insane.  If we are taking all this oil, then why are we having to pay so much for it?


Should you snap your wrist in tennis? If so, on which shots?

I "snap" my wrist on my serve as I pronate to create a heavier downward angle after the ball passes the net.  This is fairly common with anyone that has learned how to hit a kick serve.  The same goes for overheads when I am well balanced.  My wrist on my backhand side remains fairly stable through the stroke.  I will occasionally snap my wrist on the forehand side if I need some sharp action on the ball for an acute angle.  I probably do it too often against really fast tournament players because they are always trying to make you hit an extra ball.


I am a college student and I have a big project comming up on moral realism and i have no idea how to start to break this down, i have been researching the internet but all the web sites that i have found are so comlicated to understand. Can anyone help??

Moral realism is the view in philosophy that there are suitably mind-independent and therefore objective moral facts that are described by moral judgments. This combines a cognitivist view about moral judgments (they are belief-like mental states that describe the state of the world), a view about the existence of moral facts (they do in fact exist), and a view about the nature of moral facts (they are objective: independent of our cognizing them, or our stance towards them, etc.). It contrasts with expressivist or fictionalist theories of moral judgment (e.g., Stevenson, Hare, Blackburn, Gibbard, Kalderon), irrealist denials of the existence of moral facts (e.g., Mackie, Joyce, and the expressivists), and constructivist or relativist theories of the nature of moral facts (e.g., Firth, Rawls, Korsgaard, Harman). Some moral realists include David Brink, John McDowell, Peter Railton, Geoffrey Sayre-McCord, Michael Smith, and Thomas Nagel.


do u agree or disagree with this: danish newsletter has no right to puplish unethical cartoons on prophet mohammed?

There is limit for everything. Anything beyond limit hurts the people. The same rule applies to FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.\n\nBOYCOTT DANISH PRODUCTS.....\n\nI stopped using Danish products, and suggest everybody to do the same.


im about to start Tofranil(imipramine), i thought it was a sleeping pill until i got home and realized the doc had prescribed me an anti depressant/anti-anxiety med for when i go to sleep, my problem is, im scared to take it because i tried zoloft and effexor and they both made my right pupil dilate so bad you could barely see the color of my eye, is this normal on antidepressants/anti-anxiety meds or do i need to not take it?

Zoloft and Effexor both are known for causing side effects in a lot of people.  I don't know about Tofranil, but I would ask the doctor and the pharmacist if they know why your pupil dialated & if they have ever heard of it happening on anti-depressant.


Why did it take six boy scouts to help the little old lady cross the street?

Because she bribbed them with One dollar each.  Knowing the little tykes would do it and end up next to her White mini-van, where her hired help Bruno was waiting she would get these poor unsuspecting little boys in her van and drive off to Neverland - Oh, that was Michael Jackson!  Sorry!!!


Wedza is a village in the province of Mashonaland Central, Zimbabwe. It is located about 50 km south of Marondera in the Wedza communal land. Early inhabitants mined iron in the Hwedza hills which means a place of wealth. A village was established in 1910. Gold, beryl, nickel and tungsten was mined in the hills around the village but deposits small to make any mining viable.


I would like to design a website (webpage making) with a software that would not require any html expertise. I tried Yahoo! SiteBuilder - and it is great, no doubt, but doesn't offer uploading of the website for free users. I hear Google has initiated the beta launch of its Web Page Creator, but not available to everyone yet. Could you please suggest some simple AND free softwares that would help my purpose? Just basic website - my site :-]\n\nThanks.

i'm not getting ne sleep in the night...i'm tossing and turning for the whole night n i feel so lazy in the morning that i'm not gettin up till noon and missing all my classes...i'm getting all sorts of "bad" dreams...i dont sleep in the afternoon generally...i dont wanna take ne sleeping pills...wat shud i do?

If you are really not getting any sleep, it will show up as being drowsy all the time.  You actually can get your REM dream sleep in a matter of seconds or less and not even realize it, but your body suffers.\n\nTry to establish a routine during the day.  Get some bright sunlight as soon as you wake up to get your body clock set.  Don't eat heavy, protein foods at night.  Make your bedroom dark and don't turn on the lights if you wake up.

i want to transfer my ownership of a domain name register by yahoo, how to do it? if i need a registery key ?

You can get your domain tranferred from Yahoo! Domains only after 60 days of registration have past. After 60 days of registration you will need to cancel your service and then contact Yahoo! Customer Support to get the registry key or authorization code. You will have to change the admin email address of the domain to an email address that is not of the domain as the registry key / authorization code will be sent to the admin email address. So make sure that the admin email address of the domain is active and accessible before canceling the service.

i'm also a medical student of 2nd year - and i know the consequences of me doing this --, but if u deal with diabetic patient, some will say ' ok, sometimes i do want to eat at times where i shouldnt ' -- it's like u can't say No to those mouth-watering foods! ... and i've lost like 10kg since last sep.( i started to take care of my food ---cause of my rising level of cholesterol) - and so i'm taking SIMVASTATIN now ' - and it helped a lot- lowered my cholesterol level, w/o complications to my liver, my kidney and all is in good function, but my HBAic is not as good as my daily control, why is that so? sometimes i feel like ' ok, i'm the one having tis prob, and ive tried to make my lifestyle better but sometimes it's really hard to deal with!'

Hello,\n\nI've been diabetic for 33 years and this is not a problem that only you suffer from. Most all diabetics crave sweets, it's all in the way you handle it. I'm don't know if you take shots or pills. I take shots and when and when a special moment occurs where I eat a super sweet something I take extra insulin. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR FIRST!!! Here's an example: I like ice cream cakes and if you look on the label you will see carbohydrates and a number like maybe 40 grams. My doctor explained to me that for every extra 10 grams of carbs I should take 1 unit of insulin. This technique is called a sliding scale and only your doctor should provide you with your own personal sliding scale. Also try the sugar free foods. Russel Stover's has a real good chocolate sugar free assortment. Jello Gelatin is good and alot of bakeries also make sugar free desserts, cakes, pies, etc. \n\nAs for you HA1C...don't forget that anything can cause your blood sugar to rise, such as cold medicine, stress, excitement, infections, depression, and many other things as well. Just one day of serious munching can affect your HA1C. This test reflects back to 6 weeks ago. There is available in pharmaceys a at home HA1C test, they're kind of expensive. Something else you might try and it can help you get a better idea of your overall control is to add all your before breakfast blood sugar test for 7 days and then devide that number by 7. This will give you a overall average for a week. Do the same for your lunch testing, evening testing, etc. \n\nI know that dealing with this disease can be frustrating and it seems so unfair that we have it. Don't give up, if I can make it 33 year with this disease so can you! It's OK to cry and get mad and afterwards hold your head up high and be proud of who you are - diabetis does not have to have control of you.\n\nGood Luck


I just moved to MA from IL for my work.\nI moved to here in MA by myself and don't know anybody.\nPlease give me some advices, how to make friends in new location. I'm friendly and didn't have any problem to find friends in my college year. But I realized once you graduate school, it's really hard to make friends. Coworkers are nice, but they are much older than me and have family. How I couold make friends in my age or older?

Take a class.... it could me a class toward your master's or just something for fun (at a local community center or dance studio) like horeback riding, dance, ice skating whatever interests you.\n\nAlso, maybe try to get involved with some volunteer work, although I tried this myself and I had a hard time finding something but it seems like a good idea.\n\nAlso, just start doing fun stuff by yourself (go to the movies or to a club).... It may be hard at first but you'll get used to it and maybe you'll realize you can have fun even with out a lot of friends.


The movie is based on her book "I Know Why the Rabbit Howls".

The correct title of the book and the movie is "When Rabbit Howls" by The Troops for Truddi Chase.  \n\nMultiple Personality is indeed now called "Dissociative Identity Disorder" by the mainstream mental health profession.  This occurred in the early 1990s in an attempt to convince the mainstream that multiplicity was not more than one personality in one body, but one personality that was dissociated (split) and needed to be made whole.  \n\nThis, of course, is a matter of perspective.  As long as a person is living a healthy, functional life, it is their right to view themselves as many in one body if they choose to do so.  The Troops for Truddi Chase held this belief and chose not to integrate, and many of today's multiples hold the same belief.

I have just started reading the FairTax book. I wanted to know some oppinions about the proposed laws? Here's a link to their website, if you are not familiar with the FairTax.\n\nhttp://www.fairtax.org\n\nI'll probably be able to tell based on your answer, but tell me how you vote...Republicn, Democrat, Republicat, Demublican, Libertariean...

I assume youre talking about the neil boortz book. If so, then yes, his idea "in theory" works out great. With the prebates to cover the necessities of life, and only being charged a tax for what you pay for.. however we will never get to see it in practice. I can't see any govt, republican or democrat controlled knowingly reducing the amount of money they get from their people. If it does go in play, numermous programs will need to be cut b/c we won't have the money to run them. \n\nLean republican.

I am a US citizen but my parents are both German citizen and still live there. If my dad would transfer money to my US bank account as a gift, would I have to pay any taxes on it? The US tax law says that the person who makes a cash gift has to pay the gift tax but is that also true if the money comes from a foreign source?

No, you are not going to pay taxes on that money.


My sister is having marital troubles and actually fears that her in-laws will try (again) to take her child from her.  She wants to go to our mother's house in a different state with the child for a bit - can her husband (the father of the child) make any claim of kidnapping or take any legal action?

Yes in some cases. I recommend speaking to an attorney for advice because the law differs in every state.


I run a community based website & have had it going for 5 years. One of the members did not like the 'rules' set in place for the online forums (powered by Invision Power Board) & he hacked into it. He made it so that I was no longer the Admin, & then he deleted the root-admin, so theres really no going back to fix the damage. Its really messed up. What can I do as far as authority on this. I am in a different state than he is, although I do have his IP (if its not spoofed), maybe an address, & some admittance (possibly) Would it be worth it to contact authorities, & if so, who do I call? My local department here? \nThanks so much in advance!

You should always be able to call your local police department. If it is something out of their comfort zone and/or authority, they'll be able to refer you elsewhere. Unless you've actually incurred monetary damages (loss of income, significant fees to get things back to normal, etc.), my instinct is that there will be little that can actually be done. If you have an attorney and if you know who this person really is (not just a screen name or some such), you could ask your attorney to write a letter to this individual. Again, legally speaking, there may not be much that can be done, but a letter from an attorney will likely scare the living crap out of this person. Something else you may want to do is see if there is an InfraGard chapter in your area. They will likely have resources and suggestions for you, as well. It may even be worth checking into reporting the incident to CERT/CC.


Is it trust, honesty, caring for the person...or is it good sex, good looks, fun...?

Trust is very important.  You can't have a relationship without trust.  (Well you can but it won't be a good one)


can someone give me a pharaphrase of sonnet 29, any good one will do

SONNET 29 PARAPHRASE \nWhen, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, When I've run out of luck and people look down on me, \nI all alone beweep my outcast state All alone I lament my fate as an outcast* \nAnd trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries And pray to heaven but my cries go unheard \nAnd look upon myself and curse my fate, And look at myself, cursing my fate, \nWishing me like to one more rich in hope, Wishing I were like one* who had more hope in life \nFeatured like him, like him with friends possess'd, Wishing I looked like him; wishing I were surrounded by friends, \nDesiring this man's art and that man's scope, I desire this man's art and that man's range*, \nWith what I most enjoy contented least; I am least contented with what I used to enjoy most. \nYet in these thoughts myself almost despising, But in this mood almost despising myself, \nHaply I think on thee, and then my state, I think of you and then my state of sadness \nLike to the lark at break of day arising Like the lark at the break of day, rises \nFrom sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; From the gloomy earth and I sing hyms to heaven; \nFor thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings For thinking of your love brings such happiness to mind \nThat then I scorn to change my state with kings. That then I would not change my state with kings.


What would you think of a person who always weights-in in the nude because they want to by their own choice?\n\n--Please be serious and detailed in your response--

It's the most accurate weight that you can get.  What's there to think about?


obviously you have to start with a free ball, the question is, is this allowed in the rules.

No. But it is possible to end the game with a score higher than 147 if you opponent made a foul shot before a red has been potted.\n\nReds are worth one point, yellow two, green three, brown four, blue five, pink six and black seven. Each red potted stays down and red must always be followed by a 'colour' ie anything not red. After the reds are all potted, the colours must be potted in sequence. A 147 break is when each red is followed by a black. Since there is no ball with a higher point value 147 is, as it is often known in competition the 'maximum break'.\n\nHowever if your opponent fouled before a red was potted you would have a number of points (depends on the type of foul- if a blue was illegally potted by your opponent you would gain 5 points and the ball would be returned to its spot.) but that doesn't mean you have a higher break, just a higher score at the end. (A break always refers to the score accumulated on the turn until you play a safety, miss or otherwise foul.


but when he was with his girlfriend we used to talk on the phone crazy and he would hang up with her to talk with me

It sounds like you might be the reason that he and his girlfriend broke up.  You might as well go for it.  From your question I would say that you are young, and you only get to be young once so you might as well enjoy it.


Do you think that Green Bay Packers Quarterback Brett Favre will retire from the NFL?  The way he was talking in his interview that was recently aired on Sportscenter it sounded like he was headed in that direction.


It should be focused on the main ideas of the book.  Include: main points, main characters, turning points, high climax, plot, setting

Why was there only ONE female smurf?????? Anyone got an answer for this?

She wasn't even a real smurf. In the first episode she appeared in she was created by Gargamel to infiltrate the smurf village and somehow deliver them all into his clutches (I don't remember specifics, it's been a good 15-20 years since I saw the episode!) but in the end she couldn't do it and was accepted by the smurfs as one of their own. \n\nHow they managed to breed, I have no idea.\n\nOh, also in the awful later series where they were friends with that prince guy (I hated the episodes with him in it!!) and they had "new" smurfs like the great grandpa smurf who wore the golden hat and baby smurf (see, they must breed SOMEHOW) there were also two children smurfs and one of them was a girl named Sassette, I remember I found her incredibly annoying.\n\nAh, I just had a quick look on wikipedia to make sure the Smurfette thing wasn't all some crazy figment of my imagination. It says there that it was all explained in a comic book but I am sure that it was an actual episode too cos I was never a comic book reader as a kid. Anyhow this is what is says: In comic book volume 3: "The Smurfette", we learn that she was magically created from clay by Gargamel so that she would use her charms to cause jealousy and competition among the smurfs in order to cause their fall. He sent her to the smurf village, who kept her out of kindness.\n\nGargamel's plans didn't work well at first, as her appearance was flawed: she looked like just a male smurf but with long spikey black hair and a dress. She tried to be feminine and considerate, but was unattractive and proved to be more annoying than seductive.\n\nPapa Smurf took pity in her when she became depressed because the other smurfs teased her about being fat, so he practiced plastic smurfery on her for several days in order to make her the beautiful and appealing Smurfette the other smurfs know today. This time, she caused almost every smurf of the village to fall in love with her. Alas for them, it did cause violence and jealousy as schemed by Gargamel, causing chaos among the smurfs who competed, fighting against each other to win Smurfette's heart.\nShe tried to convince Poet Smurf (Greedy in the cartoon) to open the water dam just to see the spurting water, but the dam got stuck and the village was flooded. After struggling to close the dam on his own, Papa Smurf showed his frustration towards the trouble-making nature of Smurfette, who, upset, said she decided to "return to the great sorcerer Gargamel's". The smurfs were shocked about this statement, and Smurfette was put on trial.\n\nThe smurfs, blinded by their passion towards her, declared her not guilty, as Jokey Smurf, her attorney in the trial, claimed that Papa Smurf was the one who made her attractive. Still, she felt sorry for the trouble she caused and ran away in the forest, coming back occasionally, eventually establishing herself in the village permanently after a while.\n\nThe smurfs then moderated their passion, having learned from their mistake, but they are still very much in love with her.


I'm starting to believe everyone of us has..

Its just part of life....not worth worrying about, thats for sure...usually though, theres is a reason why it doesn't work out...so just live and be happy and appreciate all the great things that life does have to offer.


send me ur email plz...\nemail address plz

I could have told you why not, but that would take too much effort, plus I am a guy, so you didn't want it.\nHowever, I do appreciate the two points. Ten would be even better. Thanks in advance and good luck with all the ladies that are going to attack you soon with their admiration.


If a 14 year old has adult friends cause nobody likes her at her age group for friends is that ok??????????????????????? cause i only only have adult friends i dont have any people my age as friends..................

You are probably more mature than most people your age and that is why you are attracted to the personalities of people older than you. In addition, most poeple your own age probably are threatened by your maturity and intellect and therefore turned off by it because they do not know how else to behave around you.\nSo much to learn from anyone that is older than us....that  not only is it accectable to "hang around" them but advisable whenever you can.\nThe other 14 yr olds are jealuos of you and you should be damn proud that you have much more to offer as a human being then they do.

Two people in my family had two types of sclerosis. One had MS and the other developed ALS after visiting the house and sleeping in the bed of the then deceased MS vicitm. Now two other members of my family in law have MS and yet another has developed it after spending many nights where these other two sleep. Sometimes in the same bed (not while the other person is in it). I fear that since I have had it close in my family and the coincedence of development after extended exposure, I am not only predisposed, but at risk. Does anybody have any anecdotal evidence as I do about the contamination factor of sclerosis or any other cold hard fact either proving or disproving my theory.\n\nThank you so much,\n\n-Concenered81

MS is not contagious.  If you have family members that have MS, you are at higher risk of developing MS, but the increased risk is still very low.  You can not prevent the disease from developing, nor do you suppress your immune system.  They have immuno modulator therapies available to take once you get the diagnosis, but they are not suppressors.


If so, by whom and how is the standing and sitting telegraphed to the legislators ?\n\n\nWhy don't the Supreme Court Justices participate in this standing and subsequent sitting ?

There is no set choreography.  The speech is written with pauses on purpose for appluase.  The supreme court does not applaud political themes, becuase they are supposed to stay apolitical.  The members of the Joint Chiefs also did not applaud or stand when they felt it may show they have apolitical bias, which they are not allow to display.


I just started working at a new school, in a long-term position teaching 10th graders. Unfortunately, the class I just took over has had numerous 'disruptions' this year. These included the original teacher quitting in the first 2 days, and the effects of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Some of my kids are "Katrina Kids",  that is they have moved to this school recently. They have been through about four or five 'subs' this year. These kids range from special needs (a disproportionate amount in my classes) to gifted. \n\nI have been told that if I can control these classes, I can handle any class in any school, ever. That should indicate the challenge I have before me. These kids have had very little discipline in this class, and have had very little incentive to do any work. They think that I'll leave too, and feel they don't have to cooperate.\n\nI've tried hard-line, I've tried games, etc. I can't seem to settle them down. Any tips from experienced educators?

Congratulations to you, and a hearty cheer for taking on such a challenging task.\n\nI arrived mid year once to teach 8th grade English and History.  The situation was not as...degenerated as you describe, but it was tough for both sides.\n\nI think others have given valuable advice.  These kids need structure and enforcement of rules, whether they know it or not.  Make your rules fair and apply them equitably and you should have some success.\n\nI do disagree with the idea of using a Homework pass as a reward.  Don't we assign homework because of it's value to learning?  Letting a student earn the privilege not to do an assignment completely dilutes its educational value to the students left doing it.  Other rewards are certainly useful, though.  Stickers actually work to motivate a lot of kids.  Even though they're in 10th grade, they'd still like to bring home a "refrigerator paper" to show mom and dad (or whoever's at home).\n\nI think you also need to acknowledge out loud the things many of these kids have gone through outside of school, as well as the turmoil they have faced in school with this course.  Lay out your rules early and often.  Follow through with disciplinary action, but be a nice, reasonable person.  Find out what the school administration would consider success for this course this year, tell the kids, then go for it.\n\nBest wishes.

The Chinese people consider the reign of the Han Dynasty which lasted for 400 years to be one of the greatest periods in the entire history of China. As a result, the members of the ethnic majority of Chinese people to this day still call themselves "people of Han," in honor of the Liu family and the dynasty they created.\n\nDuring the Han Dynasty, China officially became a Confucian state and prospered domestically: agriculture, handicrafts and commerce flourished, and the population reached 50 million. Meanwhile, the empire extended its political and cultural influence over Vietnam, Central Asia, Mongolia, and Korea before it finally collapsed under a combination of domestic and external pressures.\n\nIt is fair enough to state that the contemporary empires of the Han Dynasty and the Roman Empire were the two superpowers of the known world. Several Roman embassies to China are recounted in Chinese history, starting with a Hou Hanshu (History of the Later Han) account of a Roman convoy set out by emperor Antoninus Pius that reached the Chinese capital Luoyang in 166 and was greeted by Emperor Huan.\n\nThe Han dynasty was notable also for its military prowess. The empire expanded westward as far as the rim of the Tarim Basin (in modern Xinjiang-Uyghur Autonomous Region), making possible relatively secure caravan traffic across Central Asia. The paths of caravan traffic are often called the "Silk Road" because the route was used to export Chinese silk. Chinese armies also invaded and annexed parts of northern Vietnam and northern Korea (Wiman Joseon) toward the end of the 2nd century BC. Han control of peripheral regions was generally insecure, however. To ensure peace with non-Chinese local powers, the Han court developed a mutually beneficial "tributary system." Non-Chinese states were allowed to remain autonomous in exchange for symbolic acceptance of Han overlordship. Tributary ties were confirmed and strengthened through intermarriages at the ruling level and periodic exchanges of gifts and goods.\n\n\nSee full detailed report at link below:


What was it, how did you learn it and how did it change your life?

A sermon i gave this last Yom Kippur:::\n\nI learned the hard way that Ecclesiastes is Right!\nLet me explain.\n\nMost people wrongly believe that the Biblical book of Ecclesiastes is a downer, a cynical, depressing book, and i have never never felt that way! I always thought that the book was one of the most uplifting books of the Bible, and i guess i need to explain that, as well, first.\n\nThe Book of Ecclesiastes is known for verses like, \n\n'to everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under the heavens, a time to be born and a time to die...' and:\n\n'there is nothing new under the sun.'  and:\n\n'vanity of vanities, all is vanity.' (horrible translation!)  and:\n\n'the sun also rises.'\n\nThe basic idea to Ecclesiastes is quite simply put, 'a hundred years from now, no one will know the difference.' And most people stop trying to understand the book after this. But they miss the point when they stop! The best way to say this is, 'a hundred years from now, no one will know the difference, AND SO WHAT??' \n\nIn other words, yes, its true, a hundred years from now, no one will know the difference, and so the successes you have now in your life, you must do for your sake, because they are meaningful to You, because they give your life meaning, and not because they will make any difference down the road. \n\nMy wife died 4 and half years ago. She was bright and funny, and clever, and raised two young daughters as best she could from the depth of all her illnesses. And a hundred years from now, no one will know it, but so what? She did it because it gave her pleasure and pride to see her daughters, my children, OUR kids, grow up, full of life and love and self-assured. It gave her life, no matter how short, meaning, and that is the only person it had to be meaningful to, not those who will live in 100 years. \n\nMy brother died almost two years ago. He started the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, yes, that M.I.T. at the age of 15! He was brilliant and he had a deep-seated passion for Justice, and he worked for Justice until he got sick. A hundred years from now, no one will know or care that he was brilliant and passionate, and so what? He did what he did because HE felt it to be important, because that is what gave his life meaning, and that is all, in the scheme of things, that mattered!\n\nMy mom now has lost her memories. She at one time, ran 5 businesses, got Broadway shows to come through Springfield Missouri, raised three sons, appeared on stage with actors now gone, too, and if a hundred years from now no one will know the difference, then so what? She did what was meaningful to her, and that is what is important. \n\nSo long as we remain within the boundaries of right, and what is just, and fair, in accordance with what Gd wants from us, we are free to make our lives as meaningful as we can. That is why i love the book of Ecclesiastes, because it frees us to make our own lives as meaningful as we can, in whatever ways we want, so long as we stay within the boudaries that Gd has set up for us. And that can be scary, because it means it is up to us, and us alone, even as we are free to do whatever we want as we live out our very short life on this earth! Life has no meaning whatsoever outside of whatever meaning WE put into it. It is therefore up to us, and only up to us, alone, to make our lives meaningful to ourselves, and there is, in the final analysis, no one else to blame but ourselves, if we dont put 60 seconds of life into each minute we live!\n\nThat is what i knew a long time ago, when i first read Ecclesiastes in the Hebrew Scriptures, but that is what i Realized with so many recent losses in my life. \n\nLife is what we make of it, and if 100 years from now, no one else knows the difference, SO WHAT, WE know the difference, so does Gd, and in the end, that is all who need to know.\n\n                Ecclesiastes 9:7-10 7 Go thy way, eat


I like these two people so much. But one of them is a no chance but he is so perfect and he's given me a lot of happiness.... The other guy is like I have much more chance with him and he might like me back... But... \nI like both of them and I don't want to stop liking them and a lot of my friends like the first guy and I'm so confused I need people to talk to so bad......

I want to throw my own engaement party but traditionally the mother-in-law to be is upposed to throw it. I'm not very traditional. Is it wrong for me to throw my own party?

Yes and no...traditionally, as you already know, the groom's parents throw a party in honor of the engaged couple as a chance to signal their approval of the match and to introduce the prospective bride to their friends and family she hasn't yet met....not having that, in some areas, might give rise to whispers that there is some reluctance on the part of your prospective in-laws....so if his folks want to give you a party, for heaven's sake, let them!\nThere is nothing stopping you from arranging another celebration of the engagement, but I'd ask a few close friends to put the word around that presents are not expected because it's considered tacky to appear to be throwing a party to get more gifts...same reason you can't throw your own shower.\nGood luck and best wishes for a lovely wedding and a happy marriage.


Some do not understand even simple math. I pay $2200 per year in School taxes on my property, in simple math is this a Tax cut? It increased 5 times in 4 years under Bu$h.\n\nWASHINGTON - If it seems like your taxes have been going up, they probably have — at least at the state level. State taxpayer burdens increased by an average of 41 percent from 1994 to 2004, according to newly released data from the census bureau. Only one state, Alaska, saw the amount it collects per person decline. Even when the numbers are adjusted for inflation, the individual tax burdens increase in 43 states.\nHawaiians last year paid the most to state government — $3,050 per person on average. Texans paid the least — an average of $1,368.\nRising education and Medicaid costs have fueled spending growth, which has led to higher taxes, analysts said.\n"Medicaid has been the fastest growing program in state budgets going back to 2000," said Arturo Perez, a fiscal analyst at the National Council of State Legislatures.\nMedicaid is the state-federal health insurance program for the poor. In an effort to stem rising costs, Congress passed legislation last week allowing states to charge about 13 million Medicaid beneficiaries new or increased co-payments and premiums.

Only if you are a major corporation and/or a really rich person that does not need a tax cut.  I'm too poor to get a tax cut. Billioaires for Bush

i caught some american football (football for u) wats the deal with it, i new baseball was boring but i though this was supposed to be intresting, every time someone was tackld the game stoped, boring, if u dont think so watch the six nations rugby,youll never be able to wath 5 min of football again without going into manik depresion, if im wrong id like to here wats so intresting,

Trust me...if you have grown up with the sport...learned the rules, the technique and realized it is as much mental as physical you would probably have a different opinion.   I played soccer for 5 years and I get bored to death watching it on TV.  My cousin is a Rugby player and I'm glad he enjoys it, but I just didn't find it appealing at all.   \nThere are a zillion different schemes and mental preparedness in just running one simple play in the game of American Football.  If you are just looking at it like..."oh he got tackled...they stopped the clock".... then you are missing the whole point of what it is about.   I'm not trying to convince you or anything....but realize there is way more than a few tackles, catches, and runs that goes along with the game of football.

I did not - and you should not have - if you did!

No. I didn't vote for Cheney's monkey on a string. If he is the lesser of two evils, what would the other guy have done? When you've bankrupted the country, raped the environment, taken away the people's rights and freedoms, lied to your citizens so you can masacre foreign countries, started a civil war, thrown gasoline on the fires of hatred in the middle east, and pis**d off the whole world in the process, what's left?


There are offshore foreign companies, but no US companies that are purely wind energy.  GE and FPL for example both have nuclear, gas or coal fired plants.  I suspect corporate political lobbiests are to blame.

Wind energy is actually growing at a double digit rate, albeit from a very small percentage of the energy total.  Like solar and geothermal it's about as green as energy can get, so it is very responsible in that sense.   It will take strong government committment to spur it's use because it's still rarely competitive with fossil-based energy.   The Wall Street Journal had an article last week about the difficulty of the boldest experiment yet - a Danish island that has tried with limited success to get off shore wind energy as the primary source (it was going OK until the government withdrew subsidies).


Ive been in a relationship, a good relationship, for 3 yrs\nand my boyfriend \nthat I encouraged to go to college, which by the way, he's doing wonderful in, yet he's found new friends which is bugging me because one of his friends is an attractive female,I,m just not sure\nI don't want to feel insecure ,but I still do.

Your jealous because you love him and you are worried about anything happening. I never used to be jealous and now I catch myself getting that way when he talks about going to strip clubs and things like that. If there is trust then that is all you need besides love. If there is no trust to begin with then the relationship has nothing. Dont worry but show him you care.


How many orbitals (if any) are defined by each of the following sets of quantum numbers? \nn=3  \nn=3, l=1  \nn=3, l=1, ml=-1  \nn=3, l=0, ml=-1

n=3: that's any orbital on the third electron level, which is made up of s, p, and d sublevels.  \ns has one orbital\np has three orbitals\nd has five orbitals\nAdd them up-- 1+3+5=9 orbitals\n\nn=3, l=1: The l=1 means that we're talking about the p sublevel, which has three orbitals.  \n\nn=3, l=1, ml=-1: The ml value denotes which one of the three orbitals we're talking about, so this is one orbital. \n\nn=3, l=0, ml=-1: The l=0 means that we're talking about the s sublevel, which only has one orbital.  The ml=-1 tells us that we're talking about one of at least three orbitals, so there is no such orbital as the one described by the three numbers.  The answer is zero orbitals.  \nHint: ml is always greater than or equal to negative l and less than or equal to positive l. If l is 0, ml can only be 0.\n\nThe first person who answered this question doesn't know what he or she is talking about.  ms is what stands for spin, and that isn't in your question, so who knows what the first person is talking about?

I use my computer for photos, surfing, not for business.  I don't need to take it with me when traveling.  But wondering.  Is there anything I can't do with a laptop that I can only do with desktop.

Desktops are generally less expensive and are better able to deal with heat given that they're larger with bigger fans.\n\nAs far as capabilities, you should be able to find a notebook that can do just about everything a desktop can do.\n\nIf mobility is not a requirement and you have enough space for a desktop computer, then get a desktop.  You'll save money.\n\nIf you need mobility or you don't have enough space for a desktop or if you don't have a desk, then you need a notebook.


I know someone with MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder), who has a mean personality, but (s)he is a really sweet, caring person. "David" called me all kinds of nasty names and bruised my upper lip. But "Sam" knows nothing about it. Is he still responsible for it?

I actually asked a similar question of a friend in law school. My question was about another psychological disorder called a dissociative fugue. In either case, in the US legal system, a person with a legitimate psychological disorder cannot be held accountable for a crime committed by another personality. However, in the legal system, a person with multiple personalities can be placed in a mental institution. David/Sam should probably be seeking medical attention, especially if one of his/her personalities is violent.


as well as returning to your pre pregnancy fitness levels

yea just waik go 2 a gym and you can get your nice shape back!!!!!


You know how kids get off school on Labor Day, Christmas holiday and other holidays. Well, was Valentine's Day a day off?

No it was not. It may have been for private schools, but not for most. The reason is below:\n\nThanksgiving(lets say) is a national holiday for America. Therefore, all schoold had a small vacation. Although most people consider valentines day a holiday, It is not. It is a made up day given to people to show how much you love them.\n\n\nIn conclusion, most schools did not have off for valentines day.


It could have a lot ot do with your diet and/or exercise regiment. Your diet does a lot to effect how your body gets rid of what you eat. Try to avoid fruits and chocolate. If you are overweight and are trying to get into shape, you will most likely suffer from this too if you work out hard. If you can deduce that it is not your diet or exercise ruitine, then try Immodium AD chewables and see you doctor.


My genetics teacher said the answer should be out of 64, because there are 64 different family combinations.  Any help with figuring out this question would be great.

each child can be a male or a female \ntherefore the total no of events possible is 2^6=64\n\nthe question says that you should have atleast 3 girls \ni.e there can be three, four ,five or all six girls .\n\nthe number of ways of choosing 3,4,5,6 girls from 6 children is the sum\n6C3 + 6C4 + 6C5 + 6C6 (here C stands for combinations )\n\ni,e\n\n(6*5*4)/(3*2*1) + (6*5*4*3)/(4*3*2*1) + (6*5*4*3*2)/(5*4*3*2*1) + 1\nthis reduces to \n20+15+6+1\n=42\n\ntherefore the probability is \n42/64


Can anyone give me some advice?  I've never dated someone with kids before, and it's a little scary.

It has its draw backs. In this scenerio i assume a single mother with a kid. Dating her also means dating the kid.You have to show concern for her kid.Her love is shared between you and the kid. To love means you have to have time to love.When her kid is arround her  when you are present no adequate attention for you.I am talking from experience. It is worse if the single mother is a divorcee and have had an abusive relationship before.It all bounce back in the relationship.There so many single girls out there who will have time for you. Time is of essence in a good relationship. If the kid would not be a barrier fine, but i have my doubts


we've been dating for a year. he's in europe, i'm in asia. he's coming here several times, and if he's in his country we're making contact via phone or sms at least once a week. how can i take this relationship become serious?

I have a very simple but effective solution. Faith & trust that this relationship will work !!!! if u r possitive & dont crib about silly lil stuff, it will become stronger .... i agree that distance kills BUT distance also craves for more !!!!!!!!!!! have faith in some1 u luv n trust God n u will soon be in his / her arms !! Cheers ... God bless


Looking for feedback on the program I moved away from my favorite teams town and am looking for a way to watch all the games this year. LMK if you like it or hate it and why. Thanks

I like it.\nNot that I really have any alternative since I'm living in a dorm and can't buy some sort of cable sports package.\n\nBut it's nice. I like being able to watch my team. It's not quite as fun to just listen. It's not horribly expensive, and it's pretty good quality.\n\nMy only complaint is that you don't get to choose which broadcast you watch. It's annoying sometimes to have to listen to the announcers of a rival team.


Would u be interested if I told u that you could back the first 8 in the betting for the Cheltenham Gold Cup and anyone of them win and you make profit. and yes it does not matter which of them won it.


This patient of mine bought me a box of expensive chocolates and a lovely note when he left hospital?  How would that make u feeleven if u had a boyfriend?

I would find it as a compliment and I would be flattered but that would be the end of it.


Is it classified as a nuclear weapon? Why or why not?

try this report from 1999 to see actual documented studies. http://www.rimbaud.freeserve.co.uk/dhap99f.html


I want to know how many minors use the internet today, and if you can find it, how many minors have used the internet since 1995.

Roughly 87% of people aged 12-17 use the internet in the US. This number can be verified via the PEW Internet & American Life Project research. They do a lot of solid research regarding internet use and what it is used for.


i thought lightnings were justs sparks created by nuclear collusions in the atmosphere,if it was that simple could it be replicated

You're right--lightning is just a spark. BUT it's a spark caused by massive voltage. Voltage can be defined as a difference in electrical potential between two points, with one point having a high negative electrical charge, the other a high positive electrical charge. This difference in electrical potential can become enormous when a thunderstorm gets going full force.\n\nRain and/or hail in the storm clouds are violently rubbed together by high-velocity winds, thus building up a net negative electrical charge (abundance of electrons). On the ground below the clouds no such action takes place, thus the ground has a net positive electrical charge (deficiency of electrons).\n\nEven though air is a very good insulator, the difference in electrical potential (voltage) between the storm clouds and ground can quickly reach as high as 500,000 volts, more than enough to produce a lightning "spark."


When doing a search on the internet, you get a "Hit".  What is the best way to explain a "hit" to someone who is computer illieterate?

A match between your criteria and some content on the Internet.


I read the book but it's still confusing.

sparknotes.com is the best website ever for free cliff notes, it helped me in college enormously.. \n\nhere is the section on Fahrenheit 451 http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/451/\n\n..and it is an amazing book, you really should read it.. it might take a bit to grasp the higher level concepts, but spark notes will help with that, skim through it and then when you really read the book you'll understand more of the 'big picture' . it's one of those books where the main idea is one that will shake you to the core, once you understand the political and social implications. 1984 is better though, read 1984 if you haven't already. similar to 451 but.. better.. \n\nof course, there is also the movie, but as i recall from high school it really really sucked. :)


Can not delete, quarantine, or clean. Get statement: the file "CAOJO3UB.htm" cannot deleted, etc. Verify that the file is not write protected and try again. \n\nHow do I verify write protection? I assume this thing is malicious--How do I get rid of it?

It's best to scan with several virus/spyware programs. There's several online ones free that you can use. Avast has an awesome security center and is the newest popular one. I like panda and bitdefender best because they've found the most viruses. Bitdefender is slower but supposedly high rated. Norton causes crashes on startup sometimes and is pretty slow to begin with. AVG is a lemming that tells you where the virus is and doesnt really remove it. You can find more on viruses at http://majorgeeks.com/ Adaware is best for removing spyware.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/security.php


when I would hope, they wouldnt get like that in a real life situation.  \np.s. Ive been guilty of it too.

Hello,\n\nMy ex is refusing to refinance our marital home and buy me out.  She owes me $33,000 dollars.  We have been to court 5 times for this.  The judge keeps giving another 30 days, and another 30 days, etc.  The ex keeps saying she can't afford it.  Ultimately, what are the consequences if she keeps refusing.  Can the judge keep giving her extensions?  In the meantime, I am getting into debt up to my eyeballs.  Should I get another lawyer?  Is he not doing his job?  In court today, I asked the judge what will the consequences if she doesn't refinance by March 31 (the time the judge gave her to refi) and the judge replied "she will have to appear in front of me again".  Big deal.  She already appeared in front of her 6 times, with no consequences.  What can I do?  Is there a petition I can have drawn up or go back to court?  I need this money and it is a hardship for me, but I feel there is nothing I can do.  Thank you for your input.

Seek court costs and interest.\n\nI made a mistake in my divorce and thought I had 6 months to sell or refi the home.  I only had 60 days.\n\nI had to pay my ex-wife a small amount of interest plus court costs on the $7K I had to give her from the home.\n\nSo the court can award interest, on top of what she owes if she continues to be late.\n\nIt doesn't hurt to ask the court to pay you for her mistakes.\n\nHTH

Conscription, as in the draft that was initiated during both wars. What was the general attitude of the volunteers in either wars?

well, in both wars people joined willingly at first, then the draft was initiated when people stopped joining in large amounts. in both wars conscription was effective, you cant really compare it because each war needed different things, but overall it was highly effective. We gained the troops needed, trained them and won the war.


Come on now who goes to military funeral and start protesting for some ridiculous reason?

Him and people like him is our cost for having freedom of speech.  We can't shut someone up just because we don't like what they say.  Personally, I think he's evil incarnate and a moron but if we shut him up who will be next?  Besides, every time he and his 'church' open their mouths they just show what biggoted morons they are is all.\n\nAs for the funeral protests, alot of states are making laws about that.  They might lose in court but ole Rev. Horses-Hiney there will be long dead and doing the two-step with Lucifer by the time the final outcome is read.


going into highschool and wondering what classes to take. there is a very wide selection so if u doubt that it will be available, say it any ways.

A well rounded education is most valuable.  Business classes taken in High School will only get you the lowest entry level job in the real world.  You should look at High School as preparation for for College.  If you are looking for a business major in College, prepare in High School by taking all of the English, Mathematics, and History courses you can get.  A Speech class will be valuable because you will learn to be comfortable talking in front of a group of people.  Don't place a lot of emphasis on Science courses unless your interests lead you to strongly consider a career in the business side of a Science (eg: pharmacutical salesman).\n\nYou should also take all of the computer courses you can get.  Learn the basics and concentrate on spreadsheet and database courses.  You won't get far in the business world without serious skills in these areas.\n\nCollege prep courses will almost always include a foreign language.  With the influx of Hispanics into the United States, the ability to read, write, and speak Spanish will be handsomely rewarded in the business world.  It would be my second language if I were making a choice today.  I studied German and haven't had much opportunity to use the language.  \n\nOne of the courses I took in my senior year of high School has been extremely valuable in the years since.  I took typing because I thought it would be an easy grade and there were a lot of good looking girls in the typing classes.  I was the only male in my class.  I could only type fifty words a minute when the year was over (some of my class mates could type over seventy five wpm), but the skill learned has been invaluable.  I have long thought it was the best course I took in High School.\n\nI mentioned it before, but I want to mention it again.  Study, and master, all of the English courses you can.  Although they may seem boring, grammer and spelling are absolutely essential.  If you can articulate your thoughts and ideas both verbally and in writing, you will be far ahead of your peers in the business world.\n\nGood luck in your career of choice.


I have a dreadful time with Anxiety I always have had. Any ideas I mean i am scared almost all of the time. Thank you!

Steps\n\n   1. Talk to a psychologist, psychiatrist, or a medical professional who can help you deal with the condition. Whether your medical practioner prescribes medication, cognitive therapy, or any other form of treatment, they should be the ones you should contact.\n   2. Surround yourself with a support network. It can be friends, family, or anyone you feel will help and support you. You can join a support group. Do research on the internet, it's a treasure chest of information. Having people around who care helps a lot.\n   3. Retrain your brain. Put up little post-its on the wall, fridge, mirror, behind the door. Wherever you can see them. Write messages like "I am a beautiful person". "I am deserving". "I am happy". "I can do anything I put my mind to". Or any other inspirational phrases that you can think of.\n   4. Take baby steps with a little bit of exposure and treat yourself when you have completed your goals. For example, if you have a fear of taking buses, one day get on a bus and stay on for 1 or 2 stops. You're slowly exposing yourself to the situation that you are afraid of, and slowly learning to conquer your fear. This is what they call baby steps. Don't start big, start small. \n\n------------------------------------------------------\n\nFor more help on social anxiety, visit:\nhttp://wiki.ehow.com/Bring-Severe-Social-Anxiety-Under-Control


I was wondering if upon return to your job, did you experience any "coolness" from your co-workers?  I know several people, (including myself) who got a real cold shoulder from their co-workers when they returned! Totally baffling to us.  This DID pass over time.  Did you experience this?\n     Also, did anyone journal their experiences?  Has anyone read any books written by a volunteer who worked in New Orleans after Katrina? \n      Has anyone been down there in the past month or so?  Are the shelters any better now?  When i was there, there was no electricity, no running water, (thanks to Rita going over while we were there!) and somedays no food.  How is it now?

I'm an pediatrics resident in New Orleans. I worked during and for 3 days after the hurricane at Children's hospital.  Our program is back up and running, and I've been working @ Children's since it reopened on Oct 10th.\n\nI have never heard of this cold shoulder - it sounds rediculous.  I have only received praises for what was actually a part of my duties.  It was a learning experience that I will never forget.


i hear alot of people saying that they are useing chat bot!!! what is that?

The reason I ask is because the red states cost more money to live in, are on the ocean, so you have to be able to make big money to live in them.So Red states tend to get the best and the brightest people because thats who can afford housing there. blue states are cheap to live in, I could sell my house in california For close to a Million Dollars and buy 3 houses in the midwest  and have money left over for a car ...So my point is Are blue states just populated by dumb white hicks in trailer parks wearing cowboy hats , watching fox news and drinking beer...just wondering..I am off to the beach!!!

Lol you just proved how smart you are when you botched the Red and Blue states, it's clear you are a kid. I looked at all the questions you have asked and they are downright stupid and vulgar.

You have 2 elected officials, The President and The Vice President.  That is the extent as to the elected officials, yet you have the Cabinent Posts as well as the large organizations they all have working under them.  You have several lawyers working as White House Counsel, the NSA and so forth.  I imagine that there is an actual number someplace, however the number of appointed jobs in the excecutive branch of government is staggering to say the least.  The CIA and FBI directors are appointed positions as well.  The thing to remember though is there are only 2 elected officials and they run for office as a ticket. The  rest of Executive Branch are all appointed, and under them are hired employee's.

I find I cannot cry anymore, no matter the circumstance. I bottle all my feelings inside. My ex would threaten me if I would. How is this possible? Am I scared to? Why did this happen.

Oh my husband had similar problems in his childhood. His mom would beat him everyday even though he did all the household chores. Yet she can't face it if someone cries or even hints that he might be in pain. Even today. \n\nSo my husband has all these bottled up feelings which finally found a vent after marriage. In these 3 years of our marriage, he has suffered from many panic attacks and he has other psychological problems too.\n\nSince you feel incapable of crying, vent your feelings out to a friend. My husband never had a close companion because she would not let him have any... and lack of a confidante is not advisable. Share it with someone... anyone. \n\nIf you want to contact me, I can give you my mail ID. Either I will edit this post and add it or when you choose a best answer, I'll mention it in the comments. \n\nMay God Bless You.

Any kind of radicals i just want to learn how to simplify them.

To simplify (or reduce) a radical: \n\n1.  find the largest perfect square which will divide evenly into the number under your radical sign.  This means that when you divide, you get no remainders, no decimals, no fractions.\n\nReduce:  the largest perfect square that divides evenly into 48 is 16. \n\n \n\n If the number under your radical cannot be divided evenly by any of the perfect squares, your radical is already in simplest form and cannot be reduced further.\n \n \n\n\n2.  write the number appearing under your radical as the product (multiplication) of the perfect square and your answer from dividing.\n\n\n \n\n3.  give each number in the product its own radical sign.\n\n\n \n\n4.  reduce the "perfect" radical which you have now created.\n\n\n\n5.  you now have your answer.


my yahoo email box near to full i mean is 94% so i am much woried what will hapen please tell i am very thanks full to u

You need to delete some emails or you won't be able to receive any more. Alternately you could create a new account and forward them to that. That way you'd still have your old emails and you wouldn't have to tell everyone your new address.


Those who have been to Russia and studied Russian culture and language, what do you think?

I think you can find arrogance in any nation.  A lot depends on how they percieve you - if the think that you're arrogant or ignorant, they may act differently towards you than they normally would.\n\nHowever, if they happen to be part of what people started calling the Nouveaux Russe (new Russians) back in the 90's - it's like any person who ends up with quick wealth, of course they're arrogant - they didn't have to really work to get where they are.\n\nHonestly, though, I think it's much better to seek out the golden examples of humanity in every culture, rather than come up with a "all ____s are _____" type statement.

trying to find some way to secure a high-speed internet connection in rural Virginia...  without paying out the ears for satellite equipment.... so I was wondering.... how close do you have to be to a hotspot to be able to feed off of it?

It does depend on the router, but we're probably talking about less than 1/2 mile.\n\nYour only option in rural VA might be satellite.  In addition to the tradition satellite companies (Directway and Starband), there is a new satellite ISP, but not available everywhere in the US yet:\n\nhttp://www.wildblue.com\n\nI think you can check on the website if the service is available yet in your area.  The prices might be similar, but for higher BW.


I already have sonic.But am unable to make backup copies becuase of the protection on the dvd and I also want something safe.

I heard "DVD Decrypter" is the tool to use to copy your own commercial DVD to your hard drive and decrypt it at the same time. The software might be kinda hard to find now cuz the software author was threatened by movie industry goons.  \nThe US Supreme court ruled in 1984 that you have a right to make archival recordings for your own use.

What are the best books to start with to understand Bayesian statistics? Consider that the students have just the basic knowledge of probability. If there is any web primer on it?

Bayes [1], Thomas 1702-1761. An English theologian and mathematician who was the first to use probability assessments inductively. That is, calculating the probability of a new event on the basis of earlier probability estimates which have been derived from empiric data.\n\nBayes set down his ideas on probability in “Essay Towards Solving a Problem in the Doctrine of Chances” (1763, published posthumously). That work became the basis of a statistical technique, now called Bayesian statistics.\n\nA key feature of Bayesian methods is the notion of using an empirically derived probability distribution for a population parameter. The Bayesian approach permits the use of objective data or subjective opinion [2] in specifying a prior distribution [3]. With the Bayesian approach, different individuals might specify different prior distributions. Classical statisticians argue that, for this reason, Bayesian methods suffer from a lack of objectivity.\n\nBayesian proponents argue, correctly, that the classical methods of statistical inference have built-in subjectivity (through the choice of a sampling plan and the assumption of ‘randomness’ of distributions) and that an advantage of the Bayesian approach is that the subjectivity is made explicit [4]. However, a prior distribution cannot easily be argued to be strongly ‘subjective’.\n\nBayesian methods have been used extensively in statistical decision theory. In this context, Bayes's theorem provides a mechanism for combining a prior probability distribution for the states of nature with new sample information, the combined data giving a revised probability distribution about the states of nature, which can then be used as a prior probability with a future new sample, and so on. The intent is that the earlier probabilities are then used to make ever better decisions. Thus, this is an iterative or learning process, and is a common basis for establishing computer programmes that learn from experience (see Feedback and crowding)


Could someone tell me (IN PLAIN ENGLISH), how to install Linux. I'm trying to install for dual-boot, and I have a windows partition set aside. I also have the Linux Red Hat software on CD.

You can usually just insert the install disc and let it go.  If it asks any questions, they are usually easy questions like your time zone, etc...  When it installs the bootloader, it should also detect the Windows operating system.  \n\nYou might want to try Ubuntu.  If so, be sure to visit the Ubuntu Forums before you try the install, and you should be able to get all of your answers there.\n\nUbuntu is another great way to go. It is free, and they will even send you free CD's if you can't download it for some reason (if you are asking a question here, I assume you are already online). For me, the best part of Ubuntu is the community. There is a great community of people from around the world, that are very polite and always happy to help answer any questions that you may have: http://www.ubuntuforums.org\n\nEven though Ubuntu is currently on version 5.1 (Breezy Badger), http://ubuntuguide.org which was written for version 5.04 (Warty Warthog), is still a great guide that is very helpful as well.\n\nBest of all, you can get Ubuntu in Gnome, KDE, and more. If you want, you can even choose which version to use when you log in (requires additional installation).\n\nThe Synaptic Package Manager makes it VERY easy to install additional programs, and most of them are free.\n\nThere is a live CD (which runs from the CD), if you would like to try it without having to install it to your hard drive first:\nhttp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/5.10/\n\nGive it a try, I am sure that you will like it. I installed Ubuntu as a dual-boot about 5 months ago, and I finally removed Windows about two months ago. I am here to stay.


i hv to delliver seminar on bluetooth functioning?

Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. The key features of Bluetooth technology are robustness, low power, and low cost. The Bluetooth specification defines a uniform structure for a wide range of devices to connect and communicate with each other.

Anyone who is natural born and age 35 and over is more than welcome to run.  We cant elected them if they dont run.  Its also important to see what there views are on the issues.

On November 4, 2008, the news just announces that Jeb Bush has been elected as the 44th President of the United States of America to replace his brother George W. Bush from 2009 to 2013.\n\nMy reaction would be GREAT. I would like to see Jeb Bush be the President of the \nUnited States of America and I think that America could use another four years of President Bush.

I'd rather see another President Bush than another President Clinton.

You have to roll with the punches. \n\nI was for Seattle, but there was plenty of mistakes on their half that cost them the game as much as that holding penalty did.\n\nthe sun keeps on rising, life goes on.

I have an IBM Thinkpad Z60m which has an interated built in WiFi antenna. I am current using it with a 802.11g connection with a 128bit WEP key protection. However I was given another Linksys 54G PCMCIA card today, I was able to install it successfully but both wireless connections seems to be on its own. Can I collaborate these 2 connections into one, and would that theortically means I could double the connection speed to 54Mbps x 2 = 108Mbps? I am using one router though, it is the Asus WL-530. Or would it be impossible, since the router will split the data into halves and sent 28Mbps to each of the two connections instead. If so is it possible to dedicate a particular task to a particular connection, such as Bittorrent to connection A and internet browsing/streaming to connection B? Thanks for reading and even bigger thanks for helping me out!!!

[quote]\nCan I collaborate these 2 connections into one, and would that theoretically mean I could double the connection speed to 54Mbps x 2 = 108Mbps?\n[end quote]\n\nNo, i don't think it works that way. What i presume is that only one connection is active at a time since you have no control on what connection a program work. And btw, the speed of one wireless connection is far higher than what you get by your ISP.

A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and talk turns to their adventures on the sea. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, a hook, and an eye patch.\n\nThe seaman asks, "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?" The pirate replies, "We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off."\n\n"Wow!" said the seaman. "What about your hook"? "Well", replied the pirate, "We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut my hand off."\n\n"Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "How did you get the eye patch"? "A seagull dropping fell into my eye," replied the pirate.\n\n"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?," the sailor asked incredulously. "Well," said the pirate, "it was my first day with my hook"


I need this for my daughters dance class.

Adavus are the basic dance steps in Bharatha Natyam. They combine different leg and feet postures and movements of the body. I am not sure how you would recite them. I think they would have to be learned as a dance.


I had one about 5 months ago and than it had gone down and stopped hurting and I finally had a late period, but I didn't go back for another check up like I was supposed to and every thing has been normal since untill this month when I am a week and few days late and I am not pregnant and I feel the pain starting to hurt again on my left side where the cyst would be, just like last time only it was on a different side. Is this a reacurring problem? I am defiently going to go see the doctor but I wanted to know if any woman had experience with this issue?

Most women have probably had an ovarian cyst at one time or another, but they don't know it. Many cysts develop and disappear on their own over the course of a couple of months. There are different kinds of cysts, and the kind you had will make a difference. I had a cyst that was the size of a golf ball and didn't know it until I had a CT scan for a kidney stone. A month after the scan (after dealing with the kidney stone), I saw my gynecologist and she sent me in for an ultrasound. The cyst was completely gone. She told me that standard practice used to be to do a biopsy when the cyst was as large as mine, but now they just monitor them, and deal with them if they cause pain, bleeding, or other symptoms. \n\nIt's good that you're going to see your doctor. You should also check out this website for more details.


I heard that in the 1800's there was discovered a rock,\non Earth that had it's own gravitational acceleration (2 m/s^2 not 9.8 m/s^2). Is this pure fantasy? Because theoretically it is not possible.

It would have to be a VERY large rock to have an acceleration of 2 m/s^2. That is even greater than the moon's gravitational acceleration. Even if your rock was incredibly dense, it would still have to be huge. I think this has to fall in the realm of pure fantasy.

What is a Chupacabra and where are they commonly found?

La Chupacabra (called "La Chupa" for short), is an animal known as a cryptid. A cryptid is an animal whose existence is still undecided. However, a few dead chupacabras have been found. The name "La Chupacabra" is Spanish. The name is actually 2 Spanish words that were combined. The "Chupa" part of "Chupacabra" comes from the Spanish word "Chupar" which means, "to suck". "Chupa" is the variation of "Chupar" which means "it sucks". "Cabra" is the Spanish word for "goat". So, quite literally, the name "Chupacabra" means, in the exact English translation, "it sucks goats". \n   There seem to be a few varieties of Chupacabra. There is an amphibian-like one, a reptilian-like one, and a hairy one. Regardless of this, all chupacabra have the same features in common: kangaroo-like back legs and what looks like spikes protruding from its back. They're very fast critters and nothing is known about how they reproduce. \n    A few possible chupacabra carcasses have been found in recent years. All of them seem to have an overbite and are able to jump 12 feet in the air from a standing position. Almost nothing is known about the chupacabra's jaw structure. However, from the carcasses of the animals that have been killed by this creature, while all of the blood is drained from them, their organs aren't atrophied or show any signs of blood loss. Furthermore, in several of these cases, there is no puncture wound. One theory for this is that the chupacabra's saliva contains some kind of a very fast wound-healing enzyme or something to that effect. The chupacabra is typically seen as being around 3-5 feet tall. \n     Although the chupacabra is thought to only live in northern Mexico and parts of Texas, it has been spotted all over the US. Nobody knows how many of them exist. \n   The study of chupacabra as well as the many other animals that it shares the classification of "cryptid" with, is called cryptozoology.

Is there a problem in discarding the use of the current fiat currency?

Because there is not enough stored gold to guarantee the value of the currency in circulation. That is why the US went to the silver standard. Then we found out that there is not enough silver to guarantee the value of the currency in circulation. That is why US currency is now backed by "the full faith and credit of the United States."


Consider: Can a child born just two weeks ago "survive without a host" or someone to take it's mother's place? Are we able to kill any other person who is "unwanted" except for a child in their mother's womb? Then why do we exempt this single class of person from the most basic constitutional protection? Wasn't this kind of exemption at the core of slavery? ...the Jewish holocaust? ...Russian pogroms?

I've been attending churchy every weekend for years now, However, I have not or couldn't accept the Jesus Christ.  I am starting to think God doesn't exist or we all , maybe, believing in different "God".  How can we believe in god if their is no solid evidence?

God. (cheating) This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Now, before I go any further, I should make clear that I'm not talking about any of the gods defined in various religions. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to.

From 2004-1900 there have only been two elections where Missouri did not go to the winning party.  Why is this?  Is there a certain reason why Missouri is a battle-ground state for elections?  It's 11 electoral votes have been enough to just barely put some candidates up over the 270 vote mark.

I think the terms 'important' and 'predictor' are a bit off the mark. An important predictor would be useful in determining the outcome, but Missouri doesn't really provide us any useful information until election night, at which point commentators are likely to be fixed on larger swing states capable of deciding the election (i.e., Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania in the 2004 election).\n\nAs to why, I think it probably has to do with geographical placement between the north and south and between the midwest and the west. This makes it less likely to follow regional trends.\n\nFYI, the same statistic that you referenced also holds true for Ohio.

I recomend "thestreet.com", go out and get Jim Cramer's books, also pick up a copy of Leeb's "the oil factor", you may want to pick up a copy of Rich Dad/Poor Dad, and also Harry Dent's "the next great bubble boom", and Jim Rogers "hot commodities"  Once you have read those, then you'll have a good entry level understanding of how the equity markets work, and the current forces driving those markets. Also, read the Wall Street Journal daily.  If you do all of these, then you'll be able to have an intelligent conversation with your broker, and possibly be ready to start investing on your own if that is what you choose.  Good luck.

one of the best experiences you'll ever have, developing some special feelings for your partner is the best way and when you discover "precisely" what it is, remember their is a VERY big difference between love and lust!!!


When did O. Henry write "The Gift of the Maji"?

When I am addressing a yellow clasp envelope, which side goes "up"?

Formally the flap needs to be on the left side.


There is no common-law marriages due to this law. It was hidden within the law against sadomizing. I beleive the law has a 703 in it. Saw it a long time ago under strange laws in Florida.

Florida has not allowed common-law marriages since at least 1968.  I have posted a link to the specific code section below.


If i am using an unsecured wireless connection (one that does not use any type of WEP security encryption) but the website i'm logging into is using SSL, is my information secure or can someone intercept it while its on its way to the router?  Not possible right, becuase its encrypted on my comp and sent encrypted...right??

Correct.  Your information can easily be intercepted, but because of the encryption cannot be read.
