NFC -I'm going with the Panthers.  The D is going to be tough and if the offense stays healthy, look out.\n\nAFC - The Colts.  This year they won't blow it in the AFC Championship game.  (However - they will lose the Superbowl to the Panthers)

I actually did this with one of my sites, and forgot how and what program I used!\n\nYou know- those cool little pictures that show up in the tabs so you remember what site it is...

Change the window icon \nYou can change Firefox's default window icon to any icon you want, by following these steps:\n\nGo to the folder you installed Firefox in (e.g. C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) and then go to the subfolder chrome. \nWhile in chrome, create a new subfolder called icons, then go to that folder and create yet another subfolder called default. The full path to this folder could be C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome\icons\default\. \nChoose the icon you want to use (on Windows use .ico files, on Linux use .xpm files) and then place it in this folder and rename it to main-window.[ext], e.g. main-window.ico on Windows and main-window.xpm on Linux.

I think mine are toooo small PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!

The average breast size in America has recently increased from 34B to 36C. This coincides with the increase in dress size. The fashion industry typically designed clothes for a size eight, B-cup woman. With the obesity epidemic, the average American female wears size 14 or 16. No surprises here. Breast size is determined by fatty tissue. The more fatty tissue in your breasts, the bigger they are. In essence, naturally large breasts are nothing more than fat deposits.

I saw the guy I like recently and he asked when I didn't work. I told him but he didn't ask me out in person. Do you think he will call me or doesn't he want me to call him?

I think he's interested in asking you out, it just hasn't worked out with his schedule yet to be able to do it. Don't give up hope yet. I think he will ask you just as soon as his schedule permits!


You see the thing is how many times has somone told u (an older person mabey parents) that u dont know wut love is cuz your not old enough well all i say is thats crap because i love her. but here's the problem, when were on the phone AIM or in school she acts like she hates me but when i go to her house our we hang out outside of school and such she acts like she loves me and i dont know wut to do because when i question her on the way she acts she gets mad. then she drops the bomb on me...she tells me she loves this guy whos 20...and were both 16. now i know shes not gonna have sex with him cuz where both christion and such but i mean common he's 20 wut loser would hit on a 16 yr old girl when he's 20 i dont get that but putting it aside w/e. sooo basicly i need help deciding wut i should do here i mean my heart and soul says go to her and make her yours but my brian and freinds say go find somone else but i know i wont find anyone like her ever agin...i dont know wut to do here arg.

the quickest way:  anonymously call her dad and tell her you saw her making out with the 20yr old and it was gettin pretty sexual.  things'll stop VERY quickly.  then she's yours.\n\n----\nit seems like when you're not around others, she likes you, but for some reason, at school SHES AFRAID that you arent cool enough for her friends, and so she acts like that so it will seem like she isnt friends with you (she does that so that the other kids will think she's cool).  Bottom line:  wait until the other guy is out of the pic (like i said anonymously call her dad and say what i said above), and then hangout with her outside of school, then one day ask her what's up.  OR, EVEN, BETTER, SINCE SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE, INSTEAD OF ASKING HER, JUST HANGOUT WITH HER ALL SUMMER!!!!  (either way, get rid of the other guy - he's bad news, and he'll try to kick your ass)\n-------\nbe her best best best friend.  and kiss her!!!!  = )

You should check her site a contact the publishing company.


She's playing games. And games aren't fun when they involve someones emotions.\nPerhaps she lives with her strict parents/strange relative, maybe its a work number? But probably not. If she wasn't willing to at least sort of tell you why you shouldn't call - forget her - she's not worth it. You deserve better.\nIf she's just trying to make you chase her - she should grow up and realise this type of behaviour only makes boys run - the other way!

ok my friend was engaged for 5 years and about two months ago she broke it off i agreed with her and let her stay in my one bedroom apartment for two months, well she brought me a coffee to work and started talking to one of my co workers who she knew i liked, then they started dating and she told him all kinds of personall stuff about me and he proceded to tell all my co workers why? I  blew up we stop talking when i tried to talk to her agian after i calmed down she refused said i should'n be jealouse, i dont like the guy anymore obvisouly i was pissed of what she told him, i don't know if i should try to talk to her or just throw 14 years out the window?

I was kind of in the same situation with one of my friends I've known for 10 years.  I think that God has planned a certain amount of time for people to be around each other, you know?  Sometimes friends just grow apart and you have to let go.  What's a friendship without trust?  If she really wants to be your friend, then she should be the one to come and aplogize to you because she was in the wrong for dating him in the first place.

Is it RONALD or ROLAND? I have seen both spellings of his name on the Internet AND this Yahoo Answers forum. Which is it? Mind you, it does NOT take away from his greatness though ...

His real name is Ronaldo but since Brazil already has someone named Ronaldo they named him Ronaldinho which means "Little Ronaldo"

Ok,I am 16 and lets just say I have not been on any dates well because I have'nt(because Ive been homeschooled for 6 years and have not been around guys).I got a job a month ago and there is a guy there that I talk to all the time(he's 17)I did bring up I have have not been on any dates,that same day we had our breaks together and he asked me out.I think he has a girlfriend,but I am not sure.Does this sound like a pity date or real?Because Ive been in the house for so long I just don't know what to do,pathetic,huh.

sounds real enough. i think he likes u and wants to see where it goes. i say go for it.


like the band D12 or do they like godsmack

I like that D12 song Purple Pills not the edited version. I like more godsmack songs though.


Like when we are on the phone and his friends are at his house he talks about when he is at parties and the all the girls that were there and how good they look. And I have a real problem with this because he never compliments me on my looks and i think he sometimes does it to make me mad.

maybe he wants you to be just jealous or be mad. but u should take this problem seriously maybe he is not the right guy for u or maybe he like someone else. just go and tell the problem to him.everythings going to be allright. good luck

I want to learn linux within one mounth.is it useful for me?\nand tell about linux important in this world.

If you tech savvy, can pick up on things easily and willing to read.  Learning how to use linux with a average skill level is more than doable in one month.\n\nYou will most likely want to stick to a distro like SuSE or Fedora if you actually want to learn something.  They are pretty user friendly, but also give you room to move around.  They aren't as padded for the new linux user as Ubuntu is, which is a good thing if you are serious about learning it.\n\nLinux is useful, like any other OS it has its pros and cons.  Linux strong point is it makes a great stable, secure and customizable desktop.  It easily do your basic web surfing, email, word processing, etc... with out breaking a sweat.  There are countless amount of free and great software out for it, in fact, 95% or more of linux software is all free.  Projects like GIMP prove what the community can do.  Linux also makes a excellent server platform due to its stability and security.  There isn't much linux can't do, its only weak point would be hardware support (though it actually is very good at hardware support, stuff like wireless cards that are closed source and even ATI that is very closed source just makes it harder for developers to make drivers under linux) and games.  In the games area, Wine however, is another great project.  Allowing a lot of Windows software to be run natively under linux.  Games such as WoW, Halflife and applications like DVD Shrink and Photoshop.\n\nLinux and the community is very important to the world.  If it was not for linux and BSD, we wouldn't have the TCP/IP stack as we know.  Everyone today uses the TCP/IP stack that BSD came up with.  Also, all the kernels of OS's have code from BSD, especially for memory management.  OS X would exist at all with out BSD or linux.


I dont want to spend money on a gym membership or on any machines, i just want to know the best way to get abs.

Yes Abs are made in the kitchen.  You have to eat really clean in order to see them.  Continue to do ab work, really anything will work, but you don't have to spend hours on them a week.  Cardio helps but you also don't have to do a ton of cardio to make a difference.  The more cardio you do the more efficient your body will become at doing this and it will stop burning the fat after so long.  Your best cardio workouts are HIIT (high intensity interval training).  Usually done on  a treadmill, you can do these as hill training or flat.  There are so many combinations to try but you basically warm up for 5 minutes, then choose how you want to do your intervals.  I like the 30 sec all out sprint, then 60 sec jog, continue to do this for 15-20 minutes.  You can do the 20/40 as well.  This is more effective than steady state cardio.  HIIT should only be done 2-3x's a week depending on your weight training.  Don't do HIIT on the same day you work out legs, do them on a separate day by themselves.  You can also do this outside on a track.  Anyway, bottom line, ABS ARE MADE IN THE KITCHEN-no junk, processed food :)--good luck


I need to take any amount of rows and turn them into one single row.\n\nexample data:\n\nNOTES              NOTE TIME\nblah blah blaaah   5/1/2006\nsecond note blah   5/2/2006\n\nInto\n\nNOTE          \n5/2/2006: blah blah blaaah  5/2/2006: second note blah

You need to create an extremely large varchar variable and then you need to cursor thru your table and find all the Note Times that are 5/2/2006 or whatever note time you want them to be. Then you need to append the note time and the note to the end of your varchar variable.\n\nGoogle Cursors in SQL to see how cursoring thru a table is done.\n\nNOTE: As a software developer I cannot in my professional capacity condone the use of cursors. Personally I think they are a huge waste of performance.


Some people said the US pursue its own national interest by interfering other nations' politics or nationalinterests. So, in the age of globalization, should the US continue to pursue its own national interest? Is there any alternative to national interest? What are the logical consequences of these alternatives?

Well, there's two ways of looking at it.\nFirstly, as you say, in an increasingly globalized world no nation--no matter how powerful or wealthy--can afford to be selfish or motivated by narrow, self-centered interests. Thus, the USA too must adapt to the new realities and requirements of this age. It must strive to be more friendly and sympathetic towards other nations and generally develop a more positive attitude in its dealings with the rest of the world.\nThe other aspect is, that all nations have their own interests at stake, ultimately. And the USA also has its interests to watch and protect. But even if this is the case, it doesnt mean that it can ride rough-shod over other nations and interfere indiscriminately in their affairs.\n There is a dire need for it to strike the right balance between (a) national self-interest and (b) global needs, concerns and relations.\nIf the US wants to play a greater, more responsible role in world politics, it should do so with legitimacy i.e., by being a part of international organizations and acting in concord with them not by trying to usurp the role of the UN or other, similar agencies.


I am seeing/talking to three different men and I am having the hardest time letting this one person inparticular go even though I know he could never be what I want and need in a man. I do not understand what my need is to hold on to them. My need for love and accpetance is messing up my life.. HELP!!!

Try getting some therapy; you need to understand why you're doing this to yourself.  Once you're able to focus on giving love and acceptance, rather than receiving it, you should be able to have a healthy relationship.


1) All living biological systems are made of the same stuff (DNA).\n2) Christians infer "God made man in his own image and did not "design" humans to die". Death is a consequence of Sin.\n3) All living biological systems have a lifecycle ultimately ending in death.\n4) Intelligent Design (Christian Creationists) use living biological systems (Flagellum) as evidence of a creator.\n \n5) Therefore, death must be by design for ALL living biological systems and 2 must be wrong.\n \nSensible conclusion or not??

If JAT is correct, why do animals die?\n\nDo animals "sin?"\n\nTrying to make logical sense of the bible will only lead to insanity.


**Height and age NOT being a factor**I'm sure it has something to do with the amount of pigment ( in our skin but I've always wondered why this is. I noticed this when we were comparing weight in my class people with fair skin, the same weight, and similar height seemed 'rounder' than I did. I weight about 150 lbs and the other ladies looked to me like they were 20-30lbs hevier than I was....

Ithink thats a matter of opinion not an actual fact.


what does it mean when we arent healed and we die? Scripture says ask beleive and you will receive...but does that mean God is a vending machine who gives us whatever we want? Does it mean we didnt have enough faith? Does God's will depend on us? others have said that if you have faith you will be healed in God's time....so is that saying that we determine Gods actions? Lemme know what you all think? HOT QUESTION!!!

Angela h,\n\nThat is a difficult question. People die every day and many of them are Christian. It is obviously to our advantage to believe in healing as we do, but we will all die and some of us will die sick.\n\nI believe in healing. I have been healed many, many times. However, My eyesight has degraded with age, and I have not been healed. I have a good friend who is believing God to heal her vision. She believes that she can have good vision just like Moses had good vision until he died at 120 years old. She hasn’t received 20/20 vision yet, but she was healed of cancer last year.\n\nThe Bible clearly teaches healing, and Jesus very clearly revealed God’s will for us to be healed with all the people that He healed during His ministry.\n\nPart of your question relates to commanding God to do things through prayer. We almost do command God to do what He wants to do anyway. God has revealed His will relating to many things that we pray for regularly. So when we pray, we remind Him of His promises, and it is guaranteed that we will get what we asked for.\n\nIn my humble opinion, the greatest hindrance to prayer is praying selfishly. God’s Kingdom works by humility – which is faith and obedience – motivated by love. When our motive is wrong, we are not guaranteed a favorable answer. God is SO merciful that sometimes He answers our prayers even though we ask incorrectly. He especially answers prayers like this for new believers.\n\nWhat causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. James 4:1-3\n\nYou also asked about faith. Faith doesn’t vacillate. Faith doesn’t change its mind.\n\nIf any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, Who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. James 1:5-8\n\nGeorge Mueller was a man of great faith who kept a diary of his prayers and God’s answers. God never failed to answer a prayer that he prayed. He said, “The most important part of prayer is the 15 minutes after you say, ‘Amen.‘” What he meant was that people may pray with faith, but they often tear down their prayer with words of doubt within a very short time after they pray.\n\nPersistence is important sometimes. Also hearing God speak to you or reading promises from the Bible can encourage your faith. Prayer is simple, but sometimes we try to make the things of God complicated. Let me give you one last quote from, “Why Revival Tarries” by Leonard Ravenhill.\n\n“One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God and read it and believe it.  The rest of us will be embarrassed.  We have adopted the convenient theory that the Bible is a book to be explained, whereas first and foremost, it is a Book to be believed – and after that to be obeyed.”\n\nGod bless.

About once a week my PC switches off without any warning. Someone told me it was a CPU fan problem, but I opened the unit and observed it twice when it went off. The fan did not go off with it. I also distinctly heard something click in the power section. Recently, I wanted to install a new additional CD drive and I used a second data cable from the motherboard (previously, I was using the same cable from the motherboard to my HDD and the CDROM). All of a sudden the problem did not occur again. \nBut recently I had the interior serviced by a maintenance technician, and I think he changed the configuration again and the problem has resurfaced. \nIt is bad enough that I lose work that way, but it is worse that I run a cafe and the PC in question is my server. When it goes off the entire network is at my mercy and people are understandably grouchy. Hope someone can help me.

This may seem a bit obvious, but have you cleaned out all the dust and dirt inside of the power-supply? Or, have you ever done this...Although the outside will look clean, the inside looks like the inside of a vacuum cleaner...Use compressed air to clean out all the dust and dirt. (off the fans, memory, etc) This will help the computer get rid of heat much more efficiently...Because all the dust and dirt acts like a blanket and holds in all the heat...When the computer reaches critical temps then it will shutdown to save it from burning up...

what excercise burns off more all over and what machine in my gym shall i use?? IM soo fat currentl 140lb and only like 5'2.... i feel grose... need to  lose weight fast.

Cardio is what makes you lose weight.  If you don't like the treadmill (I hate it), use the stationary bike or the stair climber.  Actually, those machines get incredibly boring after a few weeks of using them every day, so I prefer to do something fun...I like dancing, playing tennis, bowling, and horseback riding.  You lose track of time and it doesn't seem like work, and it has the added bonus of keeping you in shape!

What do you do if someone who pretty much NEVER talks to you and she is really popular, gives you a perfume bottle that has your faveorite thing on it? It is REALLY pretty and looks like it would be expensive (she didnt go out and buy it for me. She already had it) What does this mean and how should I react? It was SO nice and I said thank you like 100 times.

Is their a possibility that this girl could want something from you? It sounds to me like she is after something.


My parents 26 Wedding Anniversary is coming up. My brother and I decided to buy them each a new wedding band (there old ones are too small and the way they are designed they can't be resized) Since they can't wear them anymore, we thought this would be a good idea.\n\nNow we are trying to decide how to give this to them so that it will be really special. We want something they will never forget, but are all out of ideas. Something unique and creative. We've got a few ideas, but would like some help for more, hopefully we can put a few together and have one amazing plan.\n\nIf you have an suggestions that would be great!!!\n\nThanks!

I may be relocating down to Baltimore, MD for my job.  I've never been down there and am just wondering what it's like for young people (late 20's)?  Are there good retaurants?  Is housing expensive?  What's the climate like?  Is it a good place to raise kids?

Housing in the Baltimore Washington area is expensive, compared to some other areas of the country. If you have school age children, you do not want to live in the city. The city schools are very poor. Some of the suburban school districts are much better. \n\nThe climate is not bad. Winters are generally mild, but a small snow storm will bring the area to a halt. Summers tend follow the three H rule. Hazy, Hot, and Humid.\n\nThere are quite a few options for restaurants and nightclubs. The inner harbor and Fells point areas have quite a few, and there are also some nice places out on York Road.\n\nI would recommend that you cone down for a few days and explore the area, before you decide to move.

my wife has three other sisters and a brother. my other brother-inlaws (my wife's sister's husband )are finantially and socially more set up than me.my wife'brother is not yet set in good shape finantially. so my father-in-law always try to exploit the wellbings of son-in-laws. and my other brother-in-laws are offering help to my in-laws. i can not do that as i am still doing hard to set up myself in usa . and also as a matter of principal i do not like to help them as my father-in-law and mother-in-law are gambling edict. hence my in-laws are always find a chance to let down me and try to make my wife having the feeling that i am not a good husband and do not give her happiness what her other sisters are having with their husbands.

Ask your wife what she thinks when your In-laws "let down" on you.  This should open a conversation that will allow you to tell her how you feel as well.  She should understands why you are not at the same financial level as her older siblings.  Work together making your financial goals.  Check the progress often together.  She can set her parents straight if that's needed.  No one likes to be put down and should they keep up this behavior, I would make the contacts with them as minimal as possible.  (The natural consequences for people who are jerks...no one wants to be around them.)   Hope this helps!


What is Spiritual Warfare, where did this saying come from, and is it biblical?

Spiritual warfare is the mythical battle going on in the spiritual realm.  The concept is not from the Bible, but from the books of Enoch, which were prominant in Hellenistic Judaism as well as early Christianity.\n\nThose books were dropped by the church of Rome because they tended to undermine the authoritarian nature of the 'Jesus as god incarnate' myth.


Afta our break up i thought i saw him hooking up with another girl so i freaked and kissed another guy in front of him and danced with a few guys too. Turns out nothing happened between him and this girl, he wanted me back that nite till i did what i did, i want him back, i love him still and miss him terribly. how do i get him back and is there hope for us.

Well if you had broken up, then its really none of his business what you get upto... behind his back, or right in front of him. Pity that he did actually want you back, you might have blown your chances here...\nSit down and have a chat with him, explain the situation to him, how you saw it, and listen as he tells you his side of the story... Good luck.

Imagine yer in da Twilight Zone, and you have to explain Bit Torrents & Seeding to someone that has no access to yer Modern Techno....be gentle

Well, dont know if I cant explain it... but here is a shot::: BitTorrents are a type of file to share stuff (legal and illegal stuff) through internet, using a BitTorrent program to actually locate the file start the downloading process... it is faster than a regular download and it is safer (less viruses for PCs) than other methods or softwares for sharing files over the net...

Sexually, I know the clitoris is a very easy area to stimulate. I have never had an orgasm from it, not with thouching or oral, and it is starting to frustrate me. It kind of feels good, but I know could feel a lot better. I feel like the nerves are dull. Is there any cause and effect for this, is it normal that some people don't have much feeling, is it a disorder?

Waitaminnit... A question about the sexual functions of the human body that is spelled correctly, and not being asked by someone in middle school... Ma'am, do you mind if I worship you for a minute?\n\nDepending on your age, the nerves in your lower area may have been dulled somewhat (as you mentioned), but another possibility could be STD's or other problems that were passed on to you by your parents. Check with your doctor, Im sure he/she has a bit more information on the subject than I do.


i have been feeling very empty lately , my girlfriend dumped me and since then life is very boring and meaningless . I want an advice to get a more exciting life and fill up my soul with hapiness

There are several reasonable suggestions.  First, begin right away to do some exercise every day, something simple like a walk.  Just go for a walk, and make sure this is something you really want to do.  Keep it short, and make it a little longer when you want to do this.\n\nSecond, this is a lot more difficult, but you can do it.  Instead of thinking of yourself, begin to think of how you can help someone else.  Actually this can be simple too.  For example, when you shop, think about your smile and whatever you might do to keep the other person happy.  It is fun and smiles are contageous.\n\nWe are made to be happy.  So stay nice.  And stay happy.


I'm from the U.S but living in England... the differences in our words from one another is interesting and pretty damn funny at times. But being on "answers" its funny to see even within the same country the differences in the use of our words. QUESTION: What are some differences in words that you know?

Your "jumper" is our "sweater" - that's funny, because to us, a "jumber" is a long, dress, like a tank top, that you wear a sweater or other shirt under.\nJust in the English language, we have differences, too -\na small, flowing stream is a "creek" but locals here sometimes call it "crick."\nA paper bag is a "sack" but to some older people, they call it a "poke" (I don't know why).\nBeverages like Pepsi are called "soda pop," "pop," "soda," "cola."

Hi there!\n\nBBC is transmitting since march 2006 a series of documentaries about World Cup Stories. \n\nEach program focuses on one nation's World Cup achievements, contrasting victories and defeats on the field with events and influences off it ( such as war, economic and political instabilities, etc).\n\nSince is World Cup's year, why don't you choose Football, more precisely the World Cup, as a great occasion to be your main theme ?\n\nIf you need inspiration, I suggest you try to watch specially these 2 documentaries ( they are pretty cool ):\n\nBrazil: The Golden Team\nThink of the World Cup and you automatically think of Brazil. \n\nWe tell the story of how, inspired by the incredible talents of two of the greatest footballers of all time, Pele and Garrincha, Brazil put behind it one of the World Cup's greatest upsets to dominate the competition over the last 50 years. \n\n------------------------------------------------------------\n\nArgentina: From Darkness Into The Light\n\nWe see how Argentina emerged from the suffering of military dictatorship and the Falklands War to find a new national self-confidence in the 1980s inspired by the genius of Diego Maradona. \n\nFor more information you can try to access this page:\n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/4977066.stm\n\nOr just go to bbc.com \n\nI hope this can help you.\n\nGood Luck !\n\nClaire ;P

I need advice as to how to break up with a guy that I care about and really have enjoyed dating.  I recently found out that my partner, Austin, does not believe that God exists and I believe that there is a God and God is the most important person in my life.  I am saddened by knowing I must break up with Austin, but I know that I must if I am to follow my beliefs. I do not want to hurt him and wish that I could cause him to believe there is a God, but I know that you cannot force someone to believe something that they feel so strongly against.  I really like this guy, but I am hopeful that there will be some guy out there for me who will share my core fundamental belief that there is a God.  I am not willing to compromise this belief for the sake of dating Austin because he is getting pretty serious about me.

This happened to me.  I dated a guy for a long time, and inevitablely we had the God talk.  When I found out he didn't believe in God it through me back alot.  I sat down and did a lot of thinking.  I decided I couldn't have a future with a man who didn't believe in God.  I wanted to go to church as a family and celebrate holidays as a family.  \n\nI sat him down and told him I cared about him alot (I even loved him) but said I couldn't be with him because he didn't believe in God.  He offered to go to church with me, but I knew that deep down he still wouldn't believe in God.  I was honest and told him that I couldn't be with him since we didn't share core believes.  \n\nIt was hard, and I cried alot.  But in the end it turned out for the best.  I am now dating someone who believes in God.

Most plastics are made of organic compounds.  The inter-atomic bonds of organic chemicals have quantum energies that correspond precisely with the energy levels in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.  \n\nIf you irradiate an organic chemical with IR, it will absorb quanta of IR energy that correspond to specific vibrational energies in the molecule -- this excites the bond and makes it vibrate more rapidly and with greater amplitude.  By scanning across the entire range of IR frequencies, you get a "fingerprint" of absorptions that can help to identify the nature of the organic chemical being scanned.\n\nThat's it in a nutshell -- I hope it helps.  There are lots of instrumental analysis books available that will explain it in more detail.


ap·pa·ri·tion (ăp'ə-rĭsh'ən) \nn.\nA ghostly figure; a specter.\nA sudden or unusual sight: “[The designer's] indoor-outdoor reversals and juxtapositions call forth a Magritte apparition beneath a Miami moon” (Herbert Muschamp).\nThe act of appearing; appearance.\n[Middle English apparicioun, from Old French apparition, from Late Latin appāritiō, appāritiōn-, an appearance, from Latin appāritus, past participle of appārēre, to appear. See appear.]\n\nap'pa·ri'tion·al adj. ( http://www.answers.com/apparition&r=67 )\n\nApparition\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nGenerally, an apparition is the act or instance of appearing.\n\nIn astronomy, certain sightings of celestial bodies are called apparitions. \nAn apparition is an appearance to a human of a ghost, phantom, or other supernatural being such as God or Satan, or an appearance of a living person not physically present by ostensibly supernatural means. In colloquial speech, the word often refers simply to a ghost. \nIn Christianity, especially in Catholicism, a number of apparitions of the Virgin Mary are celebrated. \n"Apparitions" was a highly successful single by the Matthew Good Band, from their 1997 album Underdogs. \nIn the Harry Potter series, a person who is licensed to apparate can move from one place to another. See: Magic (Harry Potter)#Apparition ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparition )\n\nMarian apparitions\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nMarian apparitions are events in which the Virgin Mary is purported to have supernaturally appeared to one or more persons, typically but not always Christians, often Catholics in various settings. They are often given names based on the town in which they were reported, or on the sobriquet which was given to Mary on the occasion of the apparition, or on her reported clothing and hairstyle. They have been interpreted as psychological (pareidolia), and as religious phenomena, occasionally as theophanies.\n\nApparitions sometimes recur at the same site over an extended period of time. In the majority of Marian apparitions only a few people can see Mary. The exception to this is at Zeitoun, where thousands claimed to have seen her over a period of three years.( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_apparitions )

I had a waitress in a restaurant tell me the other day that Mahi-Mahi is a "dolphin-fish."  What's the difference?

Dolphins are cetaceans (i.e., whales), and as such mammals.  The Mhai-Mhai is a "bony fish", or teleost, that lives in the open waters of the Atlantic and Pacific.  There are more than one "dolphin" species, and Mhai-Mhai is the Hawaiian vernacular for the common dolphin fish (Coryphaena hippurus).  So, not to worry, you did not eat Flipper!

A lot of guys I date say that they don't like to date black girls and I am biracial. When I say that I am black they say that I don't look it are act it. I take it personal. Am I over reacting?

You don't say specifically in what ways you might be over-reacting but I'm assuming your offended by the perceived racial connotations of their statements. Have you asked what they mean when they say this to you? \nAnyway, if the statements are intended to imply some racial slant then yes, you have every right to be offended.


A science fiction film should at least keep science facts right. I have seen so many errors it destoys the entertaiment if the situation could not be real

Wow. Science FICTION remember. Lucas has actually talked about that decision.  It was done for effect. Once he decided that there would be sound in the vacuum of space he had to keep the idea going for the sake of continuity. How good would the opening scene have been if we sat in the cinema with that huge space ship flying in overhead, laser canons firing explosions all around and no sound? Sound heightens the experience. So while he was aware that there is no sound in space, he decided in his universe, there would be.


What is going on in here?  Almost every question I read is a mess.  Half of the time I can't even understand what is being asked.  Where did these people learn to write?  It's ridiculus.

There are people from all over the world here.  Not all of them speak or type English that well.  Please pay attention to the question and not the typing.  Also there are people who do speak and type English but are a little on the lazy side.  Its easy to tell them apart.  Just move to the questions you understand and have fun.

Is it illegal to curse at tnem or may be just turn on high beam when he walks past me or act like he's smelly.\n\nI'm not saying I'm going to do those things.  I'm just curious.

It is not illegal but it is not very smart either. They came get you for resisting arrest, disorderly conduct or obstruction of justice and take you in for those. At a minimum you would get printed and probably get to sit in the clink for a short while. You may win in court but is it really worth it?

Giuseppe Rossi\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nGiuseppe Rossi (born February 1, 1987 in New Jersey) is an Italian-American football player. He plays for the English side Manchester United.\n\nRossi signed for Manchester United on July 7, 2004 from the Italian side Parma F.C. for £200,000. He has represented the Italian national team at under-19 level and is considered a bright prospect. Naturally left sided, but gifted with both feet, he usually plays in an left forward role and has impressed in that position for United's reserves.\n\nLike many United youngsters, Rossi made his first-team debut in the League Cup, coming on as a substitute in the 2–0 win over Crystal Palace on November 10, 2004. Rossi was handed the number 42 jersey at Manchester United during his first season.\n\nIn Manchester United's 2005 pre-season matches, Rossi put up terrific displays, impressing manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who believes that Rossi is a very promising player. Rossi is also a firm fan favourite, and has been nicknamed "Joe Red", a translation of his Italian name (Giuseppe is the Italian equivalent of Joseph and Rossi means Red) and a fitting nickname for a Manchester United player.\n\nHe scored his first Premiership goal on his first team debut during Manchester United 3–1 win over Sunderland on October 15, 2005 and followed that up with a goal in their 4–1 win over Barnet in the League Cup on October 26, 2005. He and Gerard Piqué are seen as Ferguson's most promising young talents.\n\nOn January 18, 2006 he scored two goals against Burton Albion in the third round replay of the F.A. Cup, while creating two others. He was voted Man of the Match and acclaimed in the media for his clinical finishing.\n\nIn the 2005-06 season Rossi has spent the majority of his time playing for the reserve side. He has scored regularly and has converted several hat-tricks which has enhanced his reputation amongst fans who hope he will earn a place in the senior squad sometime soon.\n\nDespite playing for Italy at under-age level, he is still eligible to declare for the United States. Rumors have circulated that he has stated that he would seriously consider the U.S. should he be offered a place in the 2006 World Cup squad, but this seems unlikely at this point. [1]\n\nSir Alex Ferguson handed Rossi the number 42 shirt just days before naming him on the bench at Old Trafford in a Carling Cup match against Crystal Palace. The 17-year-old's Manchester United career kicked off when Ferguson brought him on as a substitute during the 2-0 victory.\n\nHe has earned himself an array of plaudits, not least the Manchester United fans, who are hoping for him soon to become a more regular first-team player. It would take a lot, however, to replace the likes of Wayne Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Louis Saha. Ferguson says of Rossi: "He’s only small, but he is good in the air. He has got quick feet, a great football brain and can score goals."\n\n\nYou can also check out his profile at this link below:\nhttp://www.manutd.com/bio/bio.sps?iBiographyID=11725


And do they usually get the shakes from not eating at a certain time? Just curious.

As a general rule, it is usually one or the other that appears to fall asleep.  When a person is a diabetic, especially for a long time, they can develope such a thing called diabetic neuropathy.  This is when a limb, usually a leg or foot or both on one side becomes numb.  As a diabetic myself, this happened to me back in 1996.  It is scary sometimes and makes you really pay attention to your eating habits and making you take care of yourself better by regularly checking your blood sugar by using a meter.  Proper exercise and eating right will not correct neuropathy but it may prevent it from happening to other limbs in your body.\n\nAs for the shakes, it is common for that to happen.  That's why it is important for you or anyone with diabetes to eat regurlarly and don't skip on meals.  I hope this was helpful for you, good luck!

For the love of god? why such a little stone costs so much?

Actually, diamonds are not that rare.  How come you can always find them in stores?  The reason they are so expensive is the price is set by DeBeers, a private firm that has a near monopoly in the diamond market.  DeBeers hordes thousands of diamonds and only releases a certain amount each year to keep the market adjusted to their liking. Read up on them.\n\n(Looks like tripforyou beat me to the punch)


Freedom of Speech used to be the freedom to express your ideas, including those that disagreed with the government, in an appropriate time and manner.  How did it become the right to tape and show pornography, the right to use profanity on television, the right to run around naked, or the right to burn the American Flag (the last being the most reasonable)?  What happened?

It has shades of Grey is my answer,nothing solid to protect it sadly. There is a difference in something being censored because of basic human dignity, and something being ruled inappropriate behavior for a human being. This freedom of everything has taken away my right not to view pornography,not to be subjected to profanity and violence. Not to have prayer in my school because it offends someone! When it was a right and part of my freedom and my kids. My being offended by gross sexual content on regular televison,billboards,...who cares. The right to protect my children from pedophiles (that has been argued as freedom too, and still to this day.) Whos freedoms am I hurting here?Should your neighbor be able to build his house so high yours was obstructed,your gardens died, what if and no small if,it was ruled it was his freedom of expression and need for a tower, would you not want some rules? Something,someone to help keep the peace of your space? Should he be able to have rock concerts every Friday on his yard?,that could very well cover some of the "freedoms", this kind of "freedom"would not be so nice. Nor the freedom to say terrible things about you or your family. Successful society has agreed on rules or we all best find an island, in short supply I might add.


what would be its purpose without the universe?you cannot remove space.If you remove space you will have more space in the place where the old space was to start with.hence more space.Boy am I confused.please help.

Space is the absence of matter, so if the universe didn't exist, there would still be space.

My friend was told that he was going to be killed by a people he thought were his friends only problem we have now is that they were going to attempt to kill him on his way home with him, but they couldn't do it because they didn't get in the car with him because of luck i guess. Can these the people trying to kill my friend still go to jail even though they did not kill my friend but were going to.

These friends can be charged with verbally threatening to do bodily harm to another person......this is still a felony charge.........Report it to the police...take all threats seriously....

i dont know if i should give him a chance.all of my friends tell me 2 give him a chance.he is a very cool person.but i just see him as good friends.for example a person that i trust alot.

I currently have this problem... and know exactly how you feel. My best friend is in love with me and has been for about 10-11 years now.

But that doesn't stop him from trying... and he is moving down to my area with all the hopes that we would be together...


a woman at my church ask for some of my clothes[they allway's say i wear nice clothing] i was shock i have sack up a few to donate to the goodwill i do feel better giveing them to a person that want's them what do you think?

as long as you are giving them away in the spirit of charity who cares who gets em. I would rather give to a needy person than to a place that will make money off of my donated stuff.


Salt usually has it's "not good 4 u" effects ... Does pepper have any "not good 4 u" effects?

Small amounts OK. Black pepper does not digest. It can cause stomach pain. It will have a burning effect on the stomach & intestines. When I was pregnant I woke up in the night & threw-up nothing but black pepper! If you like a lot of pepper than use white or red; they are both digestable.

Barrier: Poor chain of communication\nStrategy: make reporting blame free, an anonymous email or helpline.\nSet up a bullying awareness group and make people aware that its a duty to report these bullies to prevent it reoccuring.\nDepends on the area of use of course


CONCEPT OF GOD IN HINDUISM\nby Dr. Zakir Naik\n \n1.   \nCommon Concept of God in Hinduism:\n \n Hinduism is commonly perceived as a polytheistic religion. Indeed, most Hindus would attest to this, by professing belief in multiple Gods. While some Hindus believe in the existence of three gods, some believe in thousands of gods, and some others in thirty three crore i.e. 330 million Gods. However, learned Hindus, who are well versed in their scriptures, insist that a Hindu should believe in and worship only one God.\n\nThe major difference between the Hindu and the Muslim perception of God is the common Hindus’ belief in the philosophy of Pantheism. Pantheism considers everything, living and non-living, to be Divine and Sacred. The common Hindu, therefore, considers everything as God. He considers the trees as God, the sun as God, the moon as God, the monkey as God, the snake as God and even human beings as manifestations of God!\n\nIslam, on the contrary, exhorts man to consider himself and his surroundings as examples of Divine Creation rather than as divinity itself. Muslims therefore believe that everything is God’s i.e. the word ‘God’ with an apostrophe ‘s’. In other words the Muslims believe that everything belongs to God. The trees belong to God, the sun belongs to God, the moon belongs to God, the monkey belongs to God, the snake belongs to God, the human beings belong to God and everything in this universe belongs to God.\n\nThus the major difference between the Hindu and the Muslim beliefs is the difference of the apostrophe ‘s’. The Hindu says everything is God. The Muslim says everything is God’s.\n \n \n2.   \n  \nConcept of God according to Hindu Scriptures:\n \n We can gain a better understanding of the concept of God in Hinduism by analysing Hindu scriptures. \n\nBHAGAVAD GITA\n\nThe most popular amongst all the Hindu scriptures is the Bhagavad Gita. \n\nConsider the following verse from the Gita:\n\n"Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures."\n                   [Bhagavad Gita 7:20]\n\nThe Gita states that people who are materialistic worship demigods i.e. ‘gods’ besides the True God.\n \n \nUPANISHADS:\n\nThe Upanishads are considered sacred scriptures by the Hindus. \n\nThe following verses from the Upanishads refer to the Concept of God:\n\n"Ekam evadvitiyam"\n"He is One only without a second."\n        [Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1]1\n\n"Na casya kascij janita na cadhipah."\n"Of Him there are neither parents nor lord."\n         [Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:9]2\n\n"Na tasya pratima asti"\n"There is no likeness of Him."\n        [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19]3\n\nThe following verses from the Upanishad allude to the inability of man to imagine God in a particular form:\n\n"Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam."\n\n"His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye."\n        [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20]4\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n1[The Principal Upanishad by S.

I am writing a research paper and I have conducted a personal interview. I was wondering if I needed to cite the interview in the body of the paper or just in my works cited page.

Yes, you do have to cite it in the text.  Use the last name of the person you interviewed.  "Hundreds of people attended the show (Johnson)."  That's MLA.  If it's APA, you may have to include the date as well, so (Johnson 2006).


If we speak english and not spanish were sellouts.

Face it, your are going to catch crap from everyone. Just ignore it and remember to laugh all the way to the bank.


soo, does anyone know why my period is unsual? i get it twice a month, and i've had my period for over 2 years now, so it SHOULD be normal by now, but it isnt. i'm going to the doctor soon, but i'm too anxious to wait, does anyone know why this is?

It might be because of couple of factors: stress, anxiety, nutrition, dieting, excercise, or personal relationships either with significant other or the relationships that you have with your family and friends.\n\nThere might be nothing to worry about or it might something to be concerned about. If you're worried about your health, your best choice will be to see a Doctor who'll be able to lead you in the right direction, give expert advice as well as the right facts, and tell you what to do next. Don't worry, everything will be alright :)


Beauty is the eye of the beholder\nLooks or Beauty is skin deep

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder:  Different things are beautiful to different people.  For example, something about me may repulse just about everybody who's ever come into contact with me, but someone else could find that same repulsive thing "soooooo adorable."\n\nBeauty is only skin deep:  Superficially speaking, the most beautiful woman in the world....say, perfect body, perfect face, nothing out of place, absolutely nothing unattractive about her.......and THEN she opens her mouth.  And she very quickly becomes the ugliest thing EVER, because she's ugly "INSIDE."


It was my understanding that they DID appear, just not with any kind of description as to what they had in mind - remember passenger lists were not all that scrutinized then...


I often get ridiculed because I like to be politically correct...\n\nBut I don't understand why...\n\nIsn't just better not to try and offend people?\nWhy should I refer to Black people as the N word, Native Americans, as Indians, or people from Pakistan as the P word when they  find it offensive and hurtful and ask me not to?\nIsn't nasty to call people names they don't like?\n\nISN'T POLITICAL CORRECTNESS JUST THE MODERN FORM OF GOOD MANNERS AND SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED NOT RIDUCULED?

I agree that it is good manners and a sign of respect to use the modern terminology when talking about different races and cultures. The only thing that bothers me is the way the "names" keep changing.\n\nI took a sociology course last year and one of the chapters in out textbook was devoted to various ethnic cultures. A classmate, while trying to make a discussion point, referred to people from India as being "East Indians," a term that was "politically correct" in our area some years ago. The instructor corrected him, saying that the preferred form was "Indo-Canadian." Every "Indo-Canadian" in the classroom was embarrassed at being singled out.\n\nThe instructor than went on to say that the term was changed to prevent misunderstandings within the Canadian Aboriginal communities, who were traditionally called "Indians." However, Indians are now called "Aboriginals." She then turned to the only Aboriginal person in our classroom and asked him how he and his friends referred to themselves when there were no "white people" around. He said, "Well, we just call ourselves Indians." This got a good laugh out of all of us, but it made me think. Who decides what the correct terms are? Do the people who bear the burden of being referred to as Indo or African or whatever the word may be, get any say in these matters? \n\nI just wish they would stop changing the rules and settle down to something we can all live comfortably with, but I guess that would be against "Human Nature."


I still love my ex.  We have been together for 4 years.  My parents don't want us to be together and it is tough for us to see each other.  I know he loves me.  Recently, someone propositioned me at school.  I am not attracted to this person and they are a lot younger than me. I don't know if this will help things or not and maybe if he sees me with someone else he will move on, too.

no, never use your body to get over someone. it just ends up hurting you in the end. you'll feel dirty and used. If you need to end this relationship do it the right way. you'll feel alot more better. and then you won't have that feeling of guilt that you hurt the other person. but what i really want to say is if you and your boyfriend really love each other then if i were you i'd say screw the world and go off with him. you'll never find someone that you love as much or the way that you do him. think about it.


why why is this summer so bad and is it ever going to get better, and God help anybody that says its too hot when it gets above 70f

it is still spring. now feel badly, lol.


I GET TIRED OF PEOPLE ASKING ME THE SAME QUESTION OVER AND OVER AGAIN I JUST WANT TO KNOCK THERE ASSES OUT.


Do you feel that science is an attempt to disprove God and prove evolution?\n\nDo you feel like science is a cult, or a product of Satan?\nDo you feel like evolution is a cult, or a product of Satan?\n\nDo you feel that like gnostic Christians from the second and third century Christian era, who believed religiously that the Earth was made by accident,  that evolutionists are believing what they believe religiously, that the phrase "random mutation" is similar to the phrase "accident in heaven".\n\nI just want to understand why people think different then me.\n\nI totally respect your believes. I just think theres a breakdown in communication because some people think evolutionists treat evolution like a religion, like the gnostics did their "accident" theory.

I feel that science is a natural path of our growth as human beings.  It helps us to grow and change and we need that.  Humans are not meant to be static!  I believe science and religion can coexist if people would seperate all the politcs from it.\n\nBlessed Be.

i have a friend who is upset because all of her friends are growing and she isnt. is there like a type of food she should eat or something?

NO. There's nothing that she can do "naturally". But in time it might happen as she grows. But again, it depends on your own body. We all differ in one sense or the other. There is no exercise or food which makes you grow your breasts. But sometimes after you have a baby the shape of the breast might change. So if you are not considering that, then there's nothing else.


That depends on what definition of tree you are using,and what definition of palm.\n\nThere is not single scientific definition of 'tree'. Instead every botanist and ecologists has there own definition that they apply.  The definition I and the people I work with use use is that a tree is "any plant with a perennial stem over 3 metres in height at maturity that is capable of supporting itself". That excludes bananas, shrubs and most  lianas but it includes palms as trees.  Other scientists use other definitions that require that trees exhibit secondary growth, in which case most palms  don't qualify. However Zamia palms do exhibit secondary growth, so by that definition some palms are still trees.\n\nSorry, there is no definitive answer because 'tree' isn't a precisely defined term.\n\nMaverick said:>>> [a tree] should have wood formation ( Here\n>>>>> again palm fits the bill)\n\n\nThis is absolute nonsense. Palms are monocots, they are incapable of producing wood. Palms, in common with all monocots, exhibit only primary growth while wood is defined by being the result of secondary growth. Palms are most definitely NOT woody plants.\n\nHe also said>>>>The main stem ( Tree Trunk )must be\n>>>>> unbranched to a considerable height above the\n>>>>> ground.\n\n\nOnce more this is absolute rubbish. There are any number of trees from pinyon pine to mallee to cluster figs that branch at or even below ground level.\n\n\nHe then said>>>>Palms as a rule show increase in their girth\n>>>> or diameter. This is possible only by addition of\n>>>>>tissue seconderily.\n\nThis answer he would have gained an automatic failure for any student in my botany class. One of the defining features of monocots is that they can never, ever exhibit secondary growth. Palms increase their girth by primary gowth only. See the link below if you would like to learn more on this matter.\n\nAnd once again something I would expect any of my botany students to know. The difference betwen wood and pith is that pith is composed of dipersed vascular bundles. It is those vascular bundles that give pith its fibrous structure.\n\nPlease read the link below if you are interested in learning about this.


The world is addicted to oil and because of the geographic locations of the most available reserves, we are forced to deal with a whole host of countries that we (in the US) would probably otherwise have little or no use for.\n\nTo gain energy independence, what path (alternative energy sources) do you think would be the best for long term liberation from the petroleum hegemony that is draining the economy?

Nuclear, beyond any shadow of a doubt. \n\nThe US has appreciable Uranium reserves itself, and major Uranium producing nations such as Australia are already favored trading partners and stable western democracies.\n\nForget corn. It takes more oil to produce ethanol than the ethanol replaces. I. other words using corn for energy means we have to use MORE oil. We currently produce corn ethanol as an economic subsidy for corn growers. If we didn't make ethanol we would have to dump that corn in the ocean. But Corn ethanol is NOT a fuel source. See the first article below.\n\nHydrogen is iffy. We can only obtain hydrogen by splitting water using massive amounts of electricity. That electricity has to be obtained using normal power stations, usually coal. As a result hydrogen is like ethanol: it takes far more fossil fuel to produce than it actually replaces. That makes it a possible oil substitute but very unwise WRT greenhouse gas emissions unless coupled with lots of nuclear power stations.\n\nSolar and wind are never going to be major players. There simply isn't enough land available to make more than a minor contribution and because the supplies are erratic we would still need other power stations to make up the regular shortfalls. See the second article below.\n\nNucelar is the only real solution.

Im 15 and i want to get a job and it doesnt ask for refrences. Do i have to add them?

Hi there,\n\nNo, you don't *have* to, however it could help you to stand out from your peers. You likely don't have professional references at your age, however you could add teachers, guidance counselors, members from your sports team or church as references. \n\nBest of luck!


My brother said we should not worry about such things after we reach that age because we are bound to die of something else first. So should I wait a few years then hit on him?

Here are some surprising facts to help answer your question:\n\n* Between 11 and 15% of U.S. AIDS cases occur in people over age 50\n* Between 1991 and 1996, AIDS cases in the over-50 population rose more than twice as fast as those among younger adults.\n* Despite myths and stereotypes, many seniors are sexually active, and, some are drug users; therefore, their behaviors can put them at risk for HIV infection.\n* Health care and service providers---and older adults, themselves---do not realize that seniors are at the same risk as other age populations; professionals often are reluctant to discuss or question matters of sexuality with aging patients/clients.\n* Rates of HIV infection (not AIDS) in seniors are especially difficult to determine because older people are not routinely tested.\n* Seniors are unlikely to consistently use condoms during sex because of a generational mindset and unfamiliarity with HIV/STD prevention methods.\n\nBut to really answer your question, no- I don't think you should worry - you should be AWARE. Value your life and your health at every age, and always love, protect, and take care of yourself.

Why is it still freezing?  It has not been used very much since he replaced the motherboard, but it has froze up the last two days, with basically no use, just turned on.  Puzzled.

It could be a number of problems. \n\nFor starters, download the program called memtest86:\n\nhttp://www.memtest86.com/#download0\n\nYou'll need a bootable CD or floppy disk. Boot the computer using the program and it will stress test your RAM and tell you if it is bad or not. Be prepared to let this program run for 10-12 hours though.\n\nIf that still doesn't work, feel free to e-mail me about this.\n\nAlso, do you know how many watts your power supply is? It should say so on the power supply label (on the inside of your case). A bad power supply (or not enough power) can cause this as well.

This took me 4 months to solve. Take a piece of paper and draw a 4x4 arrangement of dots, label the rows 1-4 and the columns a-d. eliminate a1,a2,a3,d1,d2,d3 so that you end up with 2 full columns in the center and one dot on either side of the base of this column. This gives you 3 rows of 4 dots. (Two verticle and one horizontal). By moving only 2 dots, can you make 4 rows of 4 dots? If anyone solves this, I'd be curious to know how you did it and how long it took. I still don't know anyone else who's solved it and I'd like to compare methods.

I can do it... but let me think a little on it.  Can I take the full 4 months?  :-)\n\nOkay, I think I have a solution... took me about 5 minutes I think:\n\nIf I move the dot from B1 -> B2 and C1 -> C2, then B and C will still have 4 dots, and row four will still have 4 dots, but now row two will have 4 dots.\n\nYou didn't say they couldn't share the same square!!!!\n------------\nI'm back\n\nYou didn't exactly state what a "row" was.  I would have called that a "line" but maybe that's what you meant.\n\nOkay, I have a couple revised solutions.  A "row" is now defined as 4 dots that are colinear (on the same line) but each point must be distinct.  This invalidates my previous answer.\n\nOne solution matches with what has already been stated, which is:\nA4 --> B5  and  D4 --> C5.  This makes two pairs of overlapping lines each with 4 dots.\n\nHowever, my new solution is to take C1 and place it halfway between columns B and C and halfway between rows 2 and 3.\n\nThen you have a line on row 4, a line on column B, and two diagonal lines!!!!\n\nOne dot moved, 4 lines created!!!!\n\nAnd if you *must* move two dots, then just move B1 --> B5 and you still have a valid answer.

Is there anyone on here who has been on weight watchers and can let me know what they think about the program?

i worked as a trainer for a while...i would trust him if you have seen other clients of his that have good results.  since you are overweight,  you will naturally burn more calories during cardio sessions than people who are not.  so...step up the cardio,  do weights a couple times a week..i am sure you are already doing this with your trainer.  i once knew a woman who was in an aerobics class with us..and all she did was walk in place for the class.  she was quite overweight...but at the end of a 6 week period, after working out religiously,  she had dropped 8 % of her total body fat percentage...and we were all like NO WAY....so...persistance pays off,  surround yourself with positive images...people who inspire you..clip their picture and put it on your wall, on your mirror,  wherever...stay real..keep your chin up...and let us know how you are doing!  good luck to you!


They were all under ten years old and of different nationalities.  I was helping them to get into the back of the open tray of a van.  We were going on a road trip.  They were all excited and chattering.

Children in a dream is meant to be a sign of being wistful about something in your past, though it is interesting that they are all of different nationalities, maybe you are thinking a lot about something that happened in your past that maybe effects everyone on a global level... ie it is something that you know other people think about? \n\nA journey in a dream is meant to represent moving on, or escaping something you no longer want to experience.. so the children on this trip could mean that you want to take some good out of an experience, and get rid of the negative, just leave it behind...


What is the Japanese Goverment, What do they do, do they have a leader or a president or a mayor WHAT do they have for a ruler.

Parliamentary government is a form of democracy found in many countries.\n\nIn a parliamentary government the head of government, often styled the Prime Minister or Premier, is the leader of the party or coalition of parties who is able to win a majority vote within the parliament. In such governments the Head of State can be either an hereditary Prince (as in the United Kingdom), a President elected directly by the people (as in France), or a President or other official elected by the Parliament (as in Italy).\n\nBecause the head of Government is chosen based on his or her ability to create and maintain a majority in the Parliament, it is possible for the head of Government to change without an election by the people.

I need to know the procedur, the name of the test, where to get the information about the test, and which websites provide the information. This info really helps me with my thesis.

In a test where a steel ball is dropped from various prescribed heights, bamboo resisted denting better than oak, and is about equivalent to our hardest native wood, maple. The finish chosen can have a much greater impact on long-term durability and scratch-resistance. Eventually, all floors will scratch, and bamboo can easily be refinished, unlike laminate flooring.\n*In a cross-section of a bamboo culm it has to be distinguished between a dark outer zone (approximately 30 percent) with closely packed fibers and a white inner zone (about 70 percent), which is rather porous. With increasing culm height the share of percentage of the dense exterior fibers in relation to the cross-sectional area increases and therefore slim canes are superior to thick-walled bamboo. \nThe accumulation of the rigid fibers in the edge zone improves the values of elasticity as well as tension, shear, and bending strengths. As of timber, the modulus of elasticity (MOE) of bamboo is reduced with increasing stress (5-10 percent). A MOE of 2.000 kN/cm² can be assumed to calculate constructions.The bamboo tube is stiffened by the nodes by preventing buckling of the culm wall: The fibers are curved towards the culm axis, similar to a multiple-curved surface. Their MOE is 40 percent less than that of the internodes. \n\nThe tensile strength of the outer zone is two to three times higher than that of the inner zone. The tensile strength in the nodes is only moderate because the fibers there run disorderly. Nodes reduce the tensile strength of the culm. The tensile strength decreases in culms of over 5-6 years of age.The compression strength, however, increases with the age. In a test the 6 year old culms showed 2,5 times the compression strength than the one year old ones. Cane sections with nodes show approximately 8 percent higher compression strength values parallel to the fiber compared to sections without nodes. In tests with compression load perpendicular to the culm axis, the nodes cause strength values up to 45 percent higher than in tests with tube sections without nodes. The sea level, at which the plant grows, as well as the age of the poles have a big influence on the silicification of the vessels, which leads to a considerable increase of compression strength.The shear strength of thin bamboo canes is higher than that of thick-walled tubes, caused by the ratio of the rigid fibers to the sectional area. The shear strength of node material is about 50 percent higher than that of internode material. \n'Atrops' examined bamboo that is usual for building materials: Tube diameter 70-100 mm, wall thickness 6-12 mm, used for a span of 3,60 m. The elastic deflection was min=1/25,9; max=1/16,1; on average 1:20,1 of the span. \nIf deflection is not desired, the green bamboo culms can be bended to the opposite before installation (superelevation). \nFracture behavior-The bamboo tubes behave well at compression load. No sudden buckling nor cracking of the tube wall occurs. Shear fractures are the most frequent failures in bending tests. These are favored by drying cracks parallel to the culm axis. The internodes in which high shear stresses occur should therefore be filled with concrete. In case of shear failure, there will always remain a load-carrying capacity of the two halves. The fracture behavior of conventional timber differs from the fracture behavior of bamboo. Cracking of individual fibers does not lead to a spontaneous break of the whole cane. The appearing cracks are immediately redirected into the fiber direction and therefore affect less the stressed part. The input of energy is retarded. The reinforcement nodes (diaphragms) prevent the emerging longitudinal cracks from spreading over the entire tube length. \nParticularly the compression, shear, and ply bond strength are increased by the node material. Such symptoms are called factors of increase of the fracture toughness. In the research of modern composite materials, the attention


I have a friend that keeps asking me to help her plant her flowers.  She knows I'm in pain all the time and that activity really bothers me yet she hints and asks all the time if I can help plant or help paint things around their properties.  Why are some people like this?

Because they in someway think they are helping you. Most people can not famthom something that doesn't or is happening to them. Stop explaining why and just say don't feel like it today, but thanks.............


I don't know why, but most of the time, I'm not really that hungry, I'm not really THAT skinny (12 years old, 5'3 107 lbs <- bad or good?) So, this has been happening for quite a while. I usually skip breakfast, ESPECIALLY in the mornings when I'm going to school. On weekends, it doesn't really bother me. \n\nAm I fat? Skinny? Normal?\n\nPLEASE help if you see a bad problem. FYI, I don't have a doctor yet.

You're definately not fat and not out of control yet. Just remember that your body needs certain things to function properly. If you won't eat often, at least be sure you're getting a good mix of protiens, fruits, and vegetables when you do eat....also lots of water. Don't waste what calories you do take in on foods that don't nourish your body. I'm sure you've already heard, but breakfast is the most important meal. Eat it to avoid cravings later in the day and have the brain power for your classes. This isn't just hype! I actually lost 15 lbs by just making sure I ate breakfast each day.


How can i stop my daughter from being a sl*t. She had a baby at 15 and is having another one now. She has no ideal who the fathers are of any of her babies. I lost my boyfriend because of her. I want her out of my life for good!

Yes i know this girl, she is a wast. Did you finally realize that she is out to get what she can from you. You need to tell people how she beats you and steels from you? You need to just get up and move out and leave her there, she is not worth your time!


I mean cyanide or hydrogen cyanide.. but i think it will just yield potassium metal which will react with water to form potassium hydroxide and ferrocyanate or ferrocyanide acid. These two will then react to reform the salt?? Is my thinking right or i will end up in a coffin or something??!!

yes, you'll get hydrogen cyanide. you could perform the experiment in a gas chamber, but its quite dangerous
