Heres the deal, my employer is withholding my wages illegaly. He has also classified all of his employees as independent contractors when I think we should be employees. So he is not paying any or our taxes such as social security, or federal, he isnt paying us over time, holiday pay, nothing. After extensive reading or AZ laws and lobor regulations I really do feel that he is in the wrong. Now I just spent my little nest egg on Christmas, and birthdays. I have no money, and my boss is withholding my next paycheck that i was going to use to pay my rent. I have no money to put down on an attorney. I will be glad to sign something stating that they will recieve a portion of my winnings, but I can not find anyone willing to do such. I feel that I must also add that my credit isnt great because of recent deployments to Afganistan and Iraq.

I manage a law firm.  You are not the first person to find yourself in a employee / independent contractor argument.  Check out FINDLAW's section on employment law.  That will give you general overview of employee rights.  You can also look for an attorney on this site.  I suggest you contact your state bar association, or city bar association if you live in a big city.  Bar associations usually have a lawyer referral service.  Being broke usually means you can't get a good attorney sadly.  Ask your state bar if there are any pro-bono services or legal clinics, and mention that you are a vet.  Hopefully you can get some help that way.  Good luck!


The color and graphics option has stopped working since I upgraded to Firefox 1.5.  A search of the web wasn't clear on whether it should or if there is a problem to where it works for some and not for others.

I, personally, have not had any problems using Firefox 1.5 and Yahoo Mail color and graphics.


My friends kids are coming down that day and I want it to be pretty.

You probably would have been better off just checking a weather site to get this info.  Sorry...


Hi there ...\n\nHere's a picture of the umbrella tube, invented by a Japenese inventor.  I'd sure like to have one of those :)\n\nhttp://sqzm14.ust.hk/images/rain.jpg


I have two fieros and i want to mod them both but i seen so many kit out there but still cant make any decsion

my personal favorite is the Fino by v8 archie.\ngo to http://www.v8archie.com\n\nalso try the kits over at piza fiero HQ\nhttp://pisafierohq.com/


ok so i have liked this one guy since last year and this year he admitted to liking me since last year as well. i didnt know him all to well when he asked me out so i didnt tell him yes i said i wanted to get to be closer friends first. so all was well but then some other girl said something to him about me, and he said to her, he didnt think a relationship with me would last. he started acting all wierd and avoiding me. but now i think he might be with this one girl - not that he has said so. and even though he's moving in a while i still want to be friends with him and his whole band. i dont know how to approach him on this "avoding/ignoring" me topic and be good friends with him. i really like this guy, but i am trying to get over it and be a friend. should i call him or what? help me out please. \n(email if you want: icysnowprincess13@yahoo)


Whatever you do, don't let her go.  She sounds amazing.  Best wishes.

WHAT ARE THE HARMFULL EFFECTS OF DRINKING SODA SOFTDRINKS SUCH AS COCA COLA, PEPSI, AND ETC ON THE HUMAN BODY?

Too much caffeine will make you jittery, too much carbonation will give you lots a bodily noises, but the worst part is all the sugar it contains. If soda isn't used in moderation, the pounds will add on. Not to mention, it's horrible for your teeth.


I felt that shock when I accidentally touched my brother's hand back in Beijing, China a week ago, At that time, it was -4 degree celcius there. This happened very often and many other people also had suffered these kind of shock when they were in contact with other people's skin.

Sounds like static electricty, which tends to develop in windy dry conditions.  Check it out.


He just came home from college and has his own laptop here.

Yes, that is the correct noble gas configuration. Please explain.

i sorta answered that in your other one asking the config for niobium.  There are some exceptions to the electron configuration filling rules, and that is one of them, the element is more stable because the shells are already far out basically, the electron likes having an orbital all to itself. (each orbital can contain up to 2 electrons, the s only has one orbital, and the d has 5)


you said that :  "in galium no of electrons are added up in the d orbitals. since the 4s and 4p electrons  are not shielded off by the inner electrons " .I cant understand what you mean.. Ga has 10 electrons in 3d orbitsl\n,so what do you mean by : "no of electrons are added up in the d orbitals..."\nAnd these electrons can sheild the 4s,p electrons.\nplease tell me more.

Hi again,\n\n    Well you see, as you know electrons are added up in the 3d orbital in galium, right? So with the increase in number of electrons, the no of protons i.e atomic number also increases. So now the outermost p electron in Al is attracted by 13 protons. But that in galuim is attracted by 31 electrons. So the force of attraction is much more. Now in other atoms, these outer electron attraction is balanced by counter electron electron repulsion. But the added d electrons  cannot shield the outer p electrons much from the force of attraction of the highly charged nucleus. This is similar to the reason why the transition elements contract on increase in at no. Other examples are lanthanide and actinide contractions. If you still dont get it,\nmeet me on Yahoo Messenger. My id is jchemisch. I will talk to you about it. All the best. Hope i can help you if you need!!


is there ever a time when someone could call u this as a friend as a joke or is this jsut a rude slang insult? and whats your defintion?

It's one that her man cheats on her, even if she doesn't let him. It's not rude slang it is very acceptable.

it is for my homework my teacher gave me.

there is no real answer to that question.  there are many theories out there but my favorite and most logical is that plants are more physicaly delacate then we are.  you can kill a plant by simply puting it in a shaded area verses a sunny area, or it can get chocked out and die by simply not having enogh room.  so if you have a gardener who is singing all the time,  he is probly less stressful and more gentel to his plants.  also takes the time to do it right and give the apropiate care for the plant.  verses a gardner who is in a hurry and realy dosen't care, he is stressed out and his plants suffer for it.


I'm only a kid, and I don't have a regular job. Just curious when the IRS comes after you.

http://www.thestreet.com/funds/taxforum/955718.html\n\nFor IRS (federal tax, not state) \n\nYou should file if you fit into any of the following categories.\n\nUnearned income, like interest and dividends, exceeds $700 annually; or \n\nEarned income, like wages and tips, is over $4,400 a year; or \n\nThe total of unearned and earned income is greater than the larger of (a) $700, or (b) earned income (up to $4,150) plus $250.


Describe your "type". Include whether you like tattoos and piercings, bald or full head of hair, short or tall, skinny or a bigger guy. Just want to see what other people out there like.

I like tattoos and peircings, bald guys are hot, short or tall is only an issue if hes shorter than me, i like guys who have some meat on thier bones. above all he has to be interested in alot of stuff I am. I like to be able to talk to someone about issues that i care about and I like someone to open up about things they like as well.:)


I'm looking for a good resort near Salt Lake City to snowboard at.  I'm thinking of Park City, but I'd be open to checking out other spots.  I've got a tight budget so I'd like to also know if it's better to stay in SLC and drive out to the resorts.

Snowbird is great... So is Alta. Far better than Park City. If you're on a budget stay at a cheap hotel/motel towards Sandy or even downtown on the bus line, you can get up the canyons very cheap and quickly on the bus. Park City is expensive.

When the state executes someone who has been on death row, I've noticed it always takes places at 12:01 AM.  Why not some normal hour of the day?  Is there some tradition or logic to this?

12:01 is the first minute of the day following the last day a governor can pardon an inmate from execution.


String s1="java";\nString s2="java";\nif(s1==s2)\n   System.out.println("equal");\nString s3=new String("java");\nif(s1==s3)\n   System.out.println("equal");\nelse\n   System.out.println("Unequal");\n \nOutput :\nequal\nUnequal \n\nwhy i m getting "equal,Unequal" as output instead of "equal,equal" ? can anyone explain this ?

It's all about the references.\n\ns1 = "java"- the constant string between "" is stored in one address in memory and s1 and s2 will referance that memory - so when comparing s1==s2 you're not comparing the strings but the pointers in memory.\ns3 = new String("java") obviously creates new object in memory and s3 points to a different address that's why it says not equal with s1\n\nyou need to use s1.CompareTo(s3) for comparing the string instead of address


It seems more and more that employers prefer the experience to the education, you actually knowing what you are doing opposed to a degree with limited hands on.

Good question. To some extent it depends on the type of occupation that you are interested in. Some of the occupations are quite skill-based and they might best be learned in a trade or technical school (and you couldn't find these programs at four year colleges). Some occupations--engineering, for example--you can only enter with a four-year degree.\n\nOthers are increasingly seeking persons with a broader education. For example, nurses are increasingly obtaining a bachelor's degree in nursing as entry level and as a requirement for advancement in the field. More persons in construction management, for example, are seeking four year degrees. Many businesses look for managers who have MBA degrees, which are earned following graduation from a four year school.\n\nIt also depends on what you want from a higher education. A higher education has traditionally meant learning not just a major area of study but also broad learning in arts, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. It has meant being in a learning community where you can meet and interact with people from different regions, belief systems, points of view. It meant having your current beliefs challenged--not necessarily to change all your beliefs, but to encourage you to examine why you believe what you believe and how you can actively pursue your beliefs and values. I think that this is one of the important parts of a four year degree program. It helps you be more aware of the world, understand more of what people talk about, and appreciate art, music, etc. This is what higher education really is. It isn't exactly straight job skills, but it does help you learn skills that translate well to a job.\n\nFor example, the skills that most employers are looking for have to do with things such as analytical ability, ability to communicate, to do research, to solve problems, and to understand others. These skills are commonly called transferrable skills because they "transfer" to any job. Take a look here for a more in-depth discussion of transferrable skills: http://www.quintcareers.com/job_skills_values.html\n\nWith regard to experience, it isn't necessarily that employers prefer experience to education, its that they want both, and new graduates may not have the experience that employers want. But there are ways to get this experience while you are a student. There is cooperative education--where you alternate semesters of study with job placements. There is volunteer work, student organization leadership, summer jobs, internships and service learning. All are ways that you can get experience. Oftentimes internships and service learning end up leading to jobs with the companies or agencies in which you did your internship.\n\nBest wishes to you in your future. This is a great question to ponder as you plan your future.


I am looking for a white shimmer (or just white) chapel length with rhinestone boarder wedding veil.

Get a basic one from Walmart, then go to a craft store and buy the most beautiful rhinestones you can find.  you can put them on yourself and also add any other details you might want.  you will save yourself tons of money, and no one will ever notice the difference.  You can use all the money you save to buy the most gorgeous shoes (that people will actually notice) :)


When a child's top is spun, the point is down and the heavy part up while spinning but when it slows down it topples over, the same happens to a class ring when spun. Why?

The rotational energy you impart to the object when spinning overcomes the force of gravity that would topple a stationary object.  \n\nA total layman's explanation:\n\nA perfect stationary top perfectly balanced will not fall over.  In real life though,it's impossible to perfectly balance a top.  It's shape practically guarantees that its center of gravity will not be directly over the balance point for any practical length of time.  Imperfections in the material will cause a slightly uneven weight distribution, air currents will introduce a small force, and mechanical vibrations will be transmitted through the medium the top rests on.  The upshot of all this is that as soon as the center of mass is no longer over the resting point, gravity is going to pull the top over.  \n\nNow gravity has an acceleration of 32 feet per second squared (if I remember my ancient high school course correctly).  It can only topple the top at a specific speed.  If you spin the top fast enough, any side that gravity tries to "pull down" will translate around so quickly that it literally has no time to fall.  If you were standing on a planet with a much higher gravity, you'd have to spin the top far faster to achieve stability, and if you were on the moon, it would spin for a much longer time. Eventually, however, the top starts to slow and the tip will inscribe little circles.  That action is called "precession".  And of course, eventually the thing drops to the table and the game is all up once it slows enough.\n\nAgain, that's a layman's view of how it works.  Some college physics major is probably going to come in here and make my answer look really foolish.


Is it because its easier to preach than practice - In India

An accountant is someone who records numbers and knows the rules regarding how those numbers need to be recorded it.  Accountants are not necessarily investment gurus.  Plus accounts who work usually only earn a fixed salary unlike someone who is a sales person earning a commission.  If you are working for a commission your income is not fixed and you have the potential for much higher income.\nAlso, accountants don't make that much money.\nI know because I am an accountant. The money is decent but not great.


it's an old term. "you little feather merchant"

Well, here is some history for you\n\nFeather Merchant specifically refers to civilians who deal sharply with the military, usually to the disadvantage of the military.\n\nI have also seen it used to quite literally mean that an individual dealt in quilts and comforters, and would travel from place to place with a wagonload of featherbeds and other similar types of products.\n\nIt is also used in the military (Marine Corps) to mean a Marine of slight build, a tactical lightweight.

The University of Akron's team name is the Zips

It is the rubber kangaroo, Kangaroous rubberii, found in those areas of Australia in which rubber trees owned by B.F. Goodrich are grown to make rubber for tires made in Akron.\n\nThis mascot has been very controversial since the early 1970s because of the environmental depredation caused by the Kangaroous rubberii feeding on B.F. Goodrich plantations.  Controversial control measures have included poisioning, shooting, and sterilizing the 'roos.  All have failed and the Kangaroous rubberii is now spreading throughout Oz, much to the chagrin of BFG.


This was just one of those random thoughts.

This depends on a number of factors. One of the factors is the pressure from the bladder through the urethra. Another factor is the strength of the pubococcyl muscle which controls the start and stop of urinary flow.

How would a young American adult go about getting a job in a European country in the industry of their choice?

You can get a job teaching abroad.  You can teach english to students who work for big companys and corporations.  This is especially good because you want to go overseas.  The thing is, big companies and corporations need someone to be able to speak english to talk with big companies in USA.  So, they send these people to your english class.  These people will already know english so its not that difficult.  You just need to take their certificate class and you are almost garaunteed a job.  This certification program is accepted nationwide because of the strong skills they teach.  As a matter of fact, my friend took the class already.  He has a job next winter teaching in Vietnam.  I am about to take the class also.  I like the idea of going abroad to teach english.  You also get paid well for it.  In certain countries, your monthly pay is like their year of working.  So, when you get paid, you are practically king.  This of course varies.  But, in countries with strong currencies, they wont pay you low.  If they do, you cant survive over there, so nobody will go.  They are paying my friend $30 an hour.  In Vietnam, people make $30 a month.  So, with his contract, he will be teaching 10 hours a week. You wont get the 40 hour a week.  More like 10 a week to start.

what do you think will happen in episode 63?

Since I read the manga, I know what will happen, of course ^__^ But I shan't spoil you regardin what happens.


After Fort Sumter was fired upon, what did President Lincoln do as a first step I putting down the rebellion? Was this action a popular one in the North?

Called for 75,000 volunteers to put down the rebellion. Yes it was popular in the North.


for instence...  can the gov. really lie to the public about different things like terrist acts and catasraphies.  iv heard theorise that 9/11 didnt happen by commersial airplains and by types of gov. airplanes and that the CIA kidnapes terrorists and takes them to different countries where they have no laws and torchers them and things like that?  dont worry. this information is from reliable sourses which is why i wounder about this.

Of course, various individuals within the American government, as well as larger entities within the government have gotten away with crimes. Check out the story of Ruby Ridge.  Sara Weaver war murdered by FBI agent Leon Horiuchi's sniper fire, as she stood on the doorstep with baby in her arms.  The FBI also murdered one of her sons and killed the family dog.  The government had to pay Randy Weaver 1.5 million dollars for this fiasco, but the government murderer Leon Horiuchi could never be prosecuted.  Similar events happened at the government massacre of innocent civilians at the Branch Davidian church at Waco, Texas.  Attorney General Janet Reno and ultimately Bill Clinton, were responsible for those murders, but they and all under them were never prosecuted. Our founders knew that government was a beast which would always grow in power and corruption and tyranny, unless seriously counterpoised by an armed and freedom loving people.  Thomas Jefferson said the tree of liberty must be watered from time to time by the blood of patriots and the blood of tyrants.  Our second amendment rights and inalienable God given rights to keep and bear arms, has been continually eroded by unconstitutional antigun laws.  The people have been brainwashed by the government propaganda centers (public schools) that the government is our saviour, and that our rights come from the government, not from God, as the Declaration of Independence so clearly stated.  Check out JPFO (Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership, Aaron Zelman's group), which is the strongest gun rights group.  The NRA is nothing but compromising antigun hypocrites.\n\nAlex Jones and some others believe that 911 was a conspiracy by the illuminati.  Hard to tell.  But certainly, if passengers on board those airlines had been able to exercise their constitutional right to keep and bear arms, such a thing couldn't have happened.  I will not fly if I can't take my gun.  I will not be subjected to unconstitutional searches getting on the plane like some slave dog.  I am a free american.  The Patriot Act and similar legislation shows that the government is far more interested in using 911 and similar incidents to attack our rights, rather than to go after the enemy.


If you are skiing straight down a hill, when you reach a constant speed is that terminal velocity? Because skiing there is more than wind resistance. (Such as the friction caused by the ski's). Is this still "terminal velocity"?

Yes, for that situation, that is terminal velocity. \n \n Terminal velocity occurs in any situation when all the friction forces add up to be equal and opposite to the driving force, witch is usually gravity. \n\n Here is another situation: \n  A ball bearing dropped into heavy oil will reach its own terminal velocity when it falls fast enough for the oil friction and boyant forces to equal the pull of gravity. \n \n There are many cases of terminal velocity.


I'm bowling and on the scoreboard they post this animation and says beer frame and I just wondered how that worked

Beer frame is one in which everyone bowling on that scorecard marks (rolls a strike or spare).\n\nThe way the beer gets paid off differs from person to person, place to place. But the guys I used to bowl with would declare a beer frame and the first guy who failed to mark had to buy the next round.


Are there any good mnemonics for memorizing trig formulas and identities, such as the addition formulas, e.g.: [ sin(s+t) = sins s cos t + cos s sin t ] and the Double-Angle formulas (sin2 x = 2 sin x cos x)?

Here are a couple i learned for double angle formulas.\n\nFor sin(a+b)= sin(a)cos(b)+cos(a)sin(b)\nSay out loud: "sine cosine cosine sine"\n\nFor cos(a+b)= cos(a)cos(b)-sin(a)sin(b)\nSay out loud: "cosine cosine SIGN sine sine"\nNotice the word "SIGN". The word SIGN is there to remind you that the SIGN of the rightmost term has the opposite SIGN of the input to the cosine on the left hand side of the equation (if its a+b, then subtract. if its a-b, then add).\n\nJust say it out loud like 3 times. It has a really nice rythm:\n\n"Sine Cosine Cosine Sine"\n"Cosine Cosine SIGN Sine Sine"\n"Sine Cosine Cosine Sine"\n"Cosine Cosine SIGN Sine Sine"\n"Sine Cosine Cosine Sine"\n"Cosine Cosine SIGN Sine Sine"\n\nSee? Easy.


I know it almost never helps, but recently someone told me that it can actually be harmful, reinforcing the psychological problem. If anyone could tell me whether there's any truth to this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!!

I recently watched a TV show about this...Think it was on Oprah..I really can't remember, but, they had people on there that suffers from BDD, & yes plastic surgery can be addictive. It's true that BBD sufferers can stand & look in the mirror for hrs. at a time, but, it's not the outside appearance that is TRULY bothering them. It's a chemical in the brain that's not in balance. So they can get surgery after surgery, & yet still not be happy with their appearance, simply because, like I stated, it's not the outside that's truly the problem, it's inside.....And yes, the surgery's can be harmful as well. There was a lady on there that had had several nose jobs, & the DR. finally told her that he couldn't do anymore work on her nose. She had to carry around Q-tips & clean her nose, just be able to breathe good...They even mentioned that BBD may be what Michael Jackson suffers from, & it makes sense now.....but anyways, getting off subject now, but hope that helped some...

I can run a 6:39 mile and am a pretty fast sprinter.(under 1 mile) I want to improve my endurance, speed, and quickness. What are some ways I can improve short (100 meter - 1 mile) and long (5k)?

To work on your 100 to 1600 meter speeds, work on your anaerobic fitness. Doing longer intervals such as 400s, 600s, and maybe even 800s with short rest periods will increase not only your speed but your endurance as well. Do paced running with a certain heartrate for a certain period of time.  Do some ladders(200,400,600,600,400,200). I would also suggest devoting one or two days to a longer jog to help repair muscles and increase your v02 max. As for the 5k training, i would consider doing very long jogs.  Do alot of paced running as mentioned above, but work on a moderate pace for a longer period of time.  A 5k is pretty much all aerobic training so it will kind of be hard to work on your short distance training and your long distance training together.  Good luck!


i used to be a lot bigger when i was in HS.. i'm now in a size 4. this afternoon at lunch i ran into an old friend... the first thing out of his mouth was .. damn you looked a lot better back then.. i didn't have boyfriends in HS because of my weight, now he tells me I looked better then? i don't get it.

I've actually had a similar situation.  I used to weigh about 30 lbs. more than I do now.  And everyone who knew me then tells me I am so skinny now...too skinny.  I'm 5'5" & 135 lbs!  I'm perfectly healthy.  I guess some people just look better "thicker"  I also got a lot more attention from the opposite sex when I was heavier.  As long as you're healthy & happy, don't worry about what other people think!\n\np.s. your "friend" is a jerk for saying that!

She says all I care about are my feelings. I do all sorts of sweet stuff for her, like take her out to movies, dinner, trips, etc.. I treat her like gold. So how can I show her I care about her feelings?

You mentioned many good things to not only impress a woman but to keep her satisfied materialistically. However, in my experience, when a woman says that you don't care about her feelings that usually means she feels that you don't listen to or try to help her with her problems or you don't ask for or respect her opinions. Both of these will require you to work on your listening skills. In the case of her problems she may only require someone to listen to her, if you have any advice, guidance or help to give then by all means give it. If not, then let her know that you will be there for her if she needs something from you. In the case of her opinions not only will you have to ask for them but also do what she wants to do, even when you don't want to.\nGifts, trips, dates, these are all things that all women want, but they are far from ways that show that you care. Listening, offering your service, and respecting her opinion are but some of the ways to show a woman that you care about her feelings.

can aqua regia (h2so4 + hno3) dissolve noble metals (gold and silver) for real?

First off Aqua regia is a mixture of HNO3 and HCl (not H2SO4). \n\nIf Silver reacts in the same way as gold, then the sivler would be first dissolved by the Nitric acid, and then immediately precipitated by the Hydrochloric acid. Silver chloride is not very soluble in water, but is a white powder.\n\nDepending on the particle size of the silver you may or may not be able to form a white powder from aqua regia. Silver is much more easily oxidized than gold (silver tarnishes), and therefor more easily to dissolve.

I am more interested in personal opinion than statistics.

Both are excellent. They teach differently, though. I think that Oxford still tends more toward the tutorial method, while Harvard is more like a traditional classroom model.\n\nThink also of the setting--Oxford is in the middle of all the colleges but in a more rural area. Harvard is in the big city with a number of other educational institutions close by.\n\nBoth get exceptionally qualified students so you will have a diverse group of motivated students to be around. I don't know what types of student activities exist at Oxford, but Harvard has the full range of student activities going on--which is more traditional of American Universities--including sports, clubs, etc.\n\nOne other thing to consider if you are thinking about this for your own undergraduate education is where you want to work and what type of work or graduate study you want to pursue. Often alumni of your college and/or your professors will be able to be a network to help you with jobs and graduate study. So, if you are going to stay in the US you might want to consider Harvard, and if you are going to stay in the UK consider Oxford.\n\nYou could go to one of the schools and then do a semester or a full year of study abroad at the other school--get the best of both!!\n\nGood luck!! Neat choice if its yours!!


My understanding is that they coated their buildings with a white glaze of some sort that could only be made by burning LOTS of green wood (which burns the hottest).\n\nThen, after so many trees were gone, their agriculture became unstable. Is this right?

First, the mayan people still exist and continue to live in the Yucatan, Guatemala, etc.  While JRS is correct that european contact wiped out many native peoples, the classic mayan civilzation was already well into decline before the first contact with european settlers.  While the culture may have rebounded without Friar Diego de Landa, et. al. (see: Yucatan Before and After the Conquest by Diego de Landa; Devastation of The Indes by de las Casas -- both written in the 1500s), that is far from certain (and seems unlikely to me).\n\nInterestingly, some of the cultural practices continue to exist as mixed with Catholicism.  And, the cult of the talking cross stuff went into the 1920s if I recall.  \n\nEvoluzione33's answer captures the current thinking on the decline of that culture.  During the classic period, population density was almost certainly greater than it is now.  Resources were at the limit (esecially fertile land and water).  Slash and burn agriculture to plant corn may have also had an impact (as it does now).  Finally, there is some very recent evidence that inter city conflicts may have become increasing violent and destabilizing.  Combined with the drought (see The Great Maya Droughts: Water, Life, and Death by Richardson Gill), it all appears to have been too much.\n\nFinally:  I also thought dry wood burned hotter than green wood but that green wood burned smokier?

My birthday was about a month ago, and it says that I should register within 30 days of my birthday. Does anyone know how strongly they attempt to find the ones who didn't register? I'm gonna register soon, I just want to know.

they wont come hunt you down, but if you get a ticket they may haul you in.  if you dont do it now they will get you at tax time.  also if you apply for financial aid they will get you that way too.  dont worry the military is downsizing right now anyway.  If there is a full scale war they will take everyone they can.  We dont fight wars like that anymore so just register, you look like a dirtbag if you run.


i used to masturbate 6 years ago, and i'm suffering from hypertension . i'm 22 years old.

If anything, it would reduce it.\n\nOrgasms (no matter how achieved) release natural endorphins.  While pulse and plood pressure go up during a sexual act, they quickly fall off to a lower then normal rate afterwards.  There have been studies that showed a possible link to these endorphins and the lowering of stress levels.\n\nOdds are, there is some other cause.  Genetics, diet, or stress in your life is a much more likely reason.

My wife has been constantly suggesting me to quit coffee...she says it is not good for my health.  Some studies suggest that coffee contains anti-oxidants that  is good for your heart.  I am also reading contradictory statements that Coffee is bad for your Cholesterol.

What would you suggest for the 33yr mother of a 2yr old that seems to have everything she needs?  Clothing is always an option but it would be great to find something more creative than that.  Jewelery has been a hit in the past but that too is predictable.  Help me think of something memorable.

This is really sweet. Creative is good. I think you are on the right track with trying to find something special and a surprise. I think doing something together would be nice, without the child (no offense, but every mother could use some adult only time I am sure ;) \n\nHow about a mini vacation? Have the grandparents baby sit a weekend, and take her somewhere. Does not have to be far, maybe rent a hotel there in your town even ( a nice one, a hot tub in the room is always a plus), take her to a nice dinner (dancing is nice too). If you can afford to, or leave in decent distance to a large city, like Chicago or something, consider going there and getting a room. Then go out on the town. Depending on what city you go to, you can go to sites online and find out what there is to do, and cater your activities to things you would enjoy. Many large cities have horse drawn carriage rides around town as well. \n\nIf that is out of the question then maybe get a gift certificate to a spa for the day for both of you to enjoy together. Or you take lessons in something you both enjoy together, maybe dance or some sort of art lessons. \n\nThis is what my boyfriend and I have decided to do. We are taking the money we would spend on a gift and putting it together and planning a vacation in the spring. If you could afford to, maybe spring for a nice trip. You could always put the plane tickets in a huge box and wrap it ;)


The opportunities to join math competitions vary by grade level.  There are many more contests at the high school level.  Ideally, your school will participate in math leagues and conduct the tests.  If it doesn't, you or your parents should speak with the head of the math department about starting.\n\nYou can also try contacting the contest sponsors directly to see if there's a school in your area that participates.  Here's the website for American Regions Math League.  Click on "Resources for Mathletes".  They list various national and regional math contests and leagues.  It's not a comprehensive list.  There are many others out there.\nhttp://www.arml.com/

How to aviod touching electricity in winter? Now, it is winter and cold, I am usually be touched by electricity. It bothers me. Even though I wear glove that still does not work. I wonder how can I avoid this situation.Thank you.

A brief explanation of what's going on - in the dry weather, you're building up static electricity on your body as you walk around. When you touch a metal object (like a doorknob) that has very little electric charge, the charge is transferred to the other object.\n\nSo, the short answer is that to prevent the annoying shocks, you need to avoid building up electricity, or keep discharging it to objects. Touching metal frequently will help. Also, you can avoid some of the annoying effects by touching things with something other than your fingertips first - for example, the back of your hand. Your fingertips are very sensitive, and it may not be as unpleasant to get small shocks on other parts of your body.

We base much of our world on random numbers.  But are they truely random?\nLike rolling a dice, if you did the roll the exact same as the first time (which is impossible, or highly improbible) you should get the same number.  So is this random?  Someone please diffine random for me (no dictionary definitions).

It'sa very good question.Although random numbers are used colloqially to represent arbitrary but in a mathemetical model u cannot generate nondeterminism as we do in every day life.Even in a computer when a random number is generated it is generated by some previous state such as system time and using some algorithm onto it.Althoough it is fully deterministic. That is why u can't provide a choice in a mathemetical model like that in human mind because everything in it is predefined.\n\n However wat u have cited in ur example is not a random number it is the probability.\n If u want to get a six by rolling a dice it is a 1:6 chance that u will get six .However this is also not proved.But if u have enough time to make an infinite trials of throwing the dice then from general intution we can conclude u will end up with a 6:1 ratio for ur six.

My fiancee is in another country, and we still have a year and a half left before we get married. So all of our emotional/social interaction is via long distance communication (phone, internet chatting, emails etc.) She feels that at many times I don't understand her, and don't sense whats wrong with her What is the best way to understand my Fiance?

if you really love her be patient enough to understand, try to convince her that nothing would ever change even your far from each other. when she talks, listen in that way you will know whats bugging her. maybe she just miss you a lot.so just hold on if you dont want your relationship to go to waste.


Any other band that anyone knows of besides The Beatles in the late 60's or early 70's who had an album with this title????

I believe there actually was a bootleg recording, and I've seen some video footage, of The Beatles '66 show at Budokan. Nothing legit, however. Cheap Trick, of course, is the most well-known and obvious answer. Bob Dylan also had a two LP set recorded live at Budokan, released legitimately in Japan. Also, the three LP live set by Santana entitled "Lotus."


My husband wants to build computers, but can't figure out how to keep up with the "man."  Especially when MS OS & MS Office cost so much to buy.  Help!?!

Most large computer manufacturers are able to purchase large quantities of memory, hard drives, motherboards and other hardware components at steep discounts.  Therefore it makes sense that they can offer you "cheap" computers.  But most of these computers use lower end processors such as Celerons or Semprons which do not provide the performance of Athlons or Pentium 4s.\n\nThe same holds true for software, they buy large quantities of Office and Windows from Microsoft and they are given a discount.  Of course when you buy a computer prices are marked up a little so the company can make a profit.\n\nIf your husband is really interested in building computers (as a living?) or for himself I reccomend taking a look at Extreme Tech's step by step guide to building your own computer.


I'M SERIOUS AFRICAN ARABIC MAN I WISH TO GET SERIOUS WOMEN TO MARRIGE

Some religions belive in Rebirth. How do they explain this?

i have found such to be true...  but that the soul doesn't have to just jump right back in to another body.  it can live in the astral realms for a time first, if it so wishes.\n\nmost religions will explain this with philosophical statements and questions rather than cold, scientific facts.  truly, this is a quest you must follow for yourself.  if you need help, i suggest checking out some of the teachings of buddhism.  you don't have to believe in them if you don't want to, but comparing texts often gives you a fine base from which you can draw your own personal conclusions.\n\ni frequent the y-messenger chat rooms under the name Suhrim, and only that name.  i wrote a paper on my personal theories regarding this (too long to cut and paste into here).  if you want, you can find me in the paganism rooms.. usually the higher numbers.. about once a week.  if you wish, i can then cut and paste that paper into the pm window.  :)


I recently bought a used computer and I did not receive all of the software and drivers.  I wanted to reformat the hard drive but I wanted to make an emergency backup if I failed to have any essential drivers.  Now I know I can slave a drive and copy everything to the new hard drive but that means I have to buy a new hard drive.  Besides I already have a 1 GB USB memory stick and I think this method would be really cool to try out.  Oh by the way I tried to copy a recovery disk but the CD’s are to small for the system hardware and I don’t have the software to split the recovery CD’s.

I'm not sure this is what you are looking for but you can make a bootable version of Windows XP to install to a flash drive should your hard drive ever fail, read the tutorial from Tom's Hardware for more information, http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/09/09/windows_in_your_pocket/index.html

They take care of the dying in their last stages.  You have to be able to handle the family part as well as the patient part.  Unusual type of work in that you are only helping to make a terminal person as comfortable as possible rather than helping them to heal.  Hospice is actually ordered by a physician when there's nothing left to do.

I mean I have a D.E \nthen how to find out if it is homogeneous, linear, separable, exact....

A first-order differential equation of the form:\n\na1(x)*(dy/dx) + a0(x)*y = g(x)\n\nis a linear equation.\n\nWhen g(x) = 0, it's homogenous.\n\nSo, (x^2-9)(dy/dx) + xy = 3 is linear and similarly, (x^2-9)(dy/dx) + xy = 0 is homogenous.\n\nA first-order differntial equation of the form\n\ndy/dx = g(x)h(y)\n\nis separable.\n\nSo dy/dx = (y^2)x(e^(3x+4y)) is seperable since (y^2)x(e^(3x+4y)) = (x(e^3x))((y^2)(e^4y)), and dy/dx = y + sin(x) is NOT separble since it cannot be defined as a product of two equations seperately of x and y.\n\nI can't recall how to discern if a diff equation is exact, but this webpage\n\nhttp://www.utpb.edu/scimath/wkfield/mod2/Exact.html\n\ngives a very detailed explanation.\n\nHope that helps.


For example, I'm playing Roller Coaster Tycoon or Rise of Nations.  Things are fine for a while (30 minutes or more), and then all of a sudden the game is minimized to the Task Bar.  I un-minimize it and continue playing, and a minute later or so, it is minimized automatically again.  How can I figure out why this is happening?  (I have Windows XP SP2.  There are no other applications running.)  I figure some service is doing this.  How do I figure out which one?

Usually it minimizes, because some other program displays a window, like AIM when u receive a msg.  But if you have a spyware, it will hide the windows by itself after displaying.\n\n1. Click Start\n2. Select Run ...\n3. type MSCONFIG, then press enter\n4. Select Service Tab\n5. Check the Hide All Microsoft Service box\n6.

If I understand the question correctly, I think the force you're looking for is inertia. Your body is moving at the speed of the car - then the car stops. Now the car has no speed, but you're still moving forward at that speed until something (hopefully the seat belt) acts to stop you.\n\nIf you're referring to the force provided to stop you - that's the Newtonian counter-force to your inertia moving forward.


Is there someone learned enough to teach me kundalini awakening without me having to leave my home and come to him/her?

If numbers are immutable......fixed and constant  and eternally what they are,and nothing else.....shouldn't they epitomize truth??\n\nIt is correct to say that 2+2 of anything is 4....no matter what manner is applied\n\nThey are the same for everyone,everywhere....\nconceivably everywhere in the universe.\n\n....doesn't this mean they would have to have been installed in our brains by god??

There is indeed a thread in philosophy that treats mathematical truth as representing some kind of eternal fixed world.  However, there are plenty of mathematical objects other than numbers that have a rich field of mathematics associated with them.\n\nFor example, one defines a group as being a set of elements and an operation between them, denoted '+' (a bit like 'addition', but not restricted to acting on numbers) such that:\n1) If a and b are elements in our group then there is an element c such that a + b = c\n2) There exists an element of our group O such that for every element a in our group, a + O = a.\n3) For every element a in our group, there is also an element b such that a + b = 0.\n4) If we pick three elements in our group, then (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).\n\nThis is an abstract definition, and doesn't prescribe what the underlying elements actually are.  All it says is that they must satisfy (1)-(4) to be called a group.  You can probably check for yourself that numbers do satisfy these rules, although there are many particular examples of groups where numbers don't provide enough flexibility to be considered as the underlying elements.\n\nNow, mathematicians spend a lot of time studying these, and other, mathematical objects, and there are many beautiful theorems associated with them.  These objects, and the theorems about them, should be considered as eternal as the numbers whilst at the same time being different to the numbers.


I haven't gotten many best answers awarded to my answers!\nWhat do people like in one?

In my opinion, I think a best answer should not only include a correct answer to the question, but also an explanation, or further information about the topic.  I also think it is helpful for you to include a source that has more information about the topic, not just a dictionary page, or something similar.  Hope this helps!


Any suggestions, good products that will help weight come off faster?


My son is not my fiance's, yet he treats him as though he is. I care for him alot, but I've been married twice before and am wondering if I need to jump through this hoop of fire again. We argue alot about stupid stuff, but he treats my son like gold. Am I being stupid or what?

It's great that you've found someone who treats your son the way all kids should be treated but the bottom line is, if your wish for him is to grow into a healthy, well-adjusted young man, it will be the relationship he's seen between his mother and this man that she apparently doesn't really  love (at least, not the deep, committed,trusting kind that "good" marriages should have.) \nNEVER marry a man just for the kids sake.  It should be because you know that you have found your soulmate and that to spend the rest of your life without them, would not be living at all!!


Some conservatives believe there is a war on Christmas with more and more people referring to the December holiday as "Holiday season" or use "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." What is your take on this? True? Ridiculous? Who cares?

While I'm a Christian myself (don't hold it against me.  ;) ), I don't object at all to hearing Happy Holidays.  This is a country that, although not based on the principles of true religious equality, has adapted such lately.  It would be consideed rather forceful if Jewish persons went around correcting everyone to 'Happy Hanukkah', for some persons to suggest Kwanzaa, and etc.  As well, there are atheists and other individuals who do not believe in these holidays.  For that reason--it is more politically correct--and polite--to say such terms.  Claiming that you're being discriminated against while discriminating against others is not an excuse conservatives should use.


The Mummys from actint Egypt are afraid of cats because they have been enemies for thousands of years. Everyone knows a cats inclination to chasing things, just take a piece of yarn and swing it in front of your cat, he will go for it, anyway Mummies naturally have pieces of cloth hanging loose, and in their hayday, swarms of cats would overwhelm a Mummy who strayed from the herd. Many a mummy lived a short afterlife after being unwrapped by a pack of street cats, so much so that actint Mummys first developed aluminum foil to act as a distraction in case of a cat attack.\n\nSo to answer your question, Mummys are dead, and have never walked after that, the fear of cats is a made up thing, in fact hundreds of thousands of cats were mummified by ancient egyptians, as they were revered by them.


In the Atlantic Monthly, Nir Rosen said a theocracy is inevitable.  How does a new secular, democratic government form, especially in the midst of instability and violence?

Iraq can become a secular democracy by building secularism (secularity?) into their constitution.  By explicitly establishing that church and state should remain separate, and by further defining the limitations of one upon the other, they can establish a secular democracy.\n\nOf course, any true democracy will reflect to some degree the moral/religious leanings of a majority of its voting citizens.  A democracy is not inherently secular or religious.  It is inherently of, by, and for its people and nothing more.

Can you tan your skin from sitting beneath a full moon?\nIt is reflected UV light after all!

The answer might seem to be yes, or at least maybe. After all, moonlight is reflected sunlight. And if direct sunlight can cause you to tan and even burn, then why not reflected sunlight? Sure, moonlight clearly isn't as strong as light coming directly from the sun. But perhaps enough exposure to a radiant moon could cause a very light tan.\n\nBut the actual answer, as you may have guessed, is no. You can't get a tan from the moon, no matter how bright. You see, we tan when our skin produces melanin in reaction to the sun's ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet rays are harmful; they can cause skin damage and even cancer. Our skin produces melanin as a defense against ultraviolet rays. Melanin absorbs ultraviolet radiation, thereby protecting the skin's cells. So the more ultraviolet light, the more melanin our skin will produce.\n\nThe catch is that it takes a certain amount of ultraviolet sunlight to make the skin produce melanin. Sunlight reaching us via the moon just doesn't have enough ultraviolet oomph to trigger the skin's defensive shield. A full moon may look really bright, but the surface of the moon is actually pretty dark. The moon absorbs most of the sunlight that hits it.\n\nOf course, some of the sun's reflected ultraviolet light does reach us. Theoretically, prolonged exposure to moonlight could cause some damage. But in this case "prolonged" means hundreds of years of continuous moon bathing. But under normal conditions our skin quickly repairs whatever minimal damage is caused by the light of the silvery moon.


ebay says that you are blocking those emails. Is that true

Check the email filters for whoever you are using as your service.  Could be picking those up as junk mail.


Willow and the Wizard of Oz had both large numbers.


Every time a gallon of oil is extracted from the earths core, what happens to that space ?? Is it ever filled back, is it left as a void ??.

While the oil is actually being removed from the earth it isn't filled up. But after the well is abandoned it is usually filled in with cement. Most states have regulations requiring plugging of wells as they are taken out of service.\n\nIf you want more information on how the oil drilling process works (or anything else for that matter) check out the site below.

Yes, I know it wouldn't be likely to actually have them mate due to size and the fact that the big cats would eat the domestics but, in theory, could they be breed to produce, say, a small lion or tiger? Would their genes permit this? Thanks.

I don't believe this is possible. If I remember correctly from my undergraduate education, the big cats (Lions, Tigers, Leapards, etc.) are actually more closly related to domistaced dogs than domesticated cats. Of course we know that cats and dogs can't mate, so I'm sure the big cats couldnt' mate with their smaller cousins.


you may still contract it from other people at work or people you know. depends on your profession. and maybe the vaccination wears off over time or you contracted before your vaccination, and never showed signs so never checked.


I am looking for the movie title about a white school teacher who became an outlaw when the white town men killed the black farmer/cowboy she had falling in love with. When the school teacher needed work to be done the black man who say., "I can do that". The black man was a farmer that grew veg. and sold his produce to the people in the town across the river/lake from his farm.They were seen kissing in her classroom by a white man and they killed the black man in his boat as he was returning to his farm across the river/lake.  The school teacher witness the shooting, the town was cursed, the river/lake disappeaared and she became an outlaw, robbing bank, killing people that killed her lover. When she was killed the water returned to the town.  Before his death when ever the teacher needed work to be repaired the black man would always say, "I can do that".  Can someone assit me with the title?

That would be "Holes" based on the book by Louis Sachar


I am not good at all in working out. Don't know where to start to get myself in shape.

Hi, Kelly!\n\nMost branches have their own requirements on physical training that they put out on their websites.  You can visit the recruiting websites namely the www.[military branch].com (e.g. www.airforce.com, www.navy.com) for more information.  They are the most accurate information you can acquired.  \n\nIn your question, you mentioned "officer training school" or (OTS) which is an   Air Force (AF) designation to train their potential officers.  If you are considering AF as your military career of choice, below is the URL to the OTS BOT (Basic Office Training) PFA (Physical Fitness Assessment) webpage:\nhttp://ots.afoats.af.mil/BOT/PCProgrom.htm\n\nThey also furnished a page on how to prepare yourself for the PFA:\nhttp://ots.afoats.af.mil/BOT/PFAenhance.htm\n\nWhile you are at their website, you will find other information that will be pertinent to you for your consideration as an AF officer.\n\n\nGood luck to you, OT (Officer Trainee) [last name] to be!

Basic but effective tequniques or tricks if you know them.

If someone asks you for money to increase your score, it is true that they are likely to be a thief, however, it is NOT TRUE that you cannot raise your score. Your credit score is primarily affected by a few things. First, any time that you make a late payment, even one that is only 30 days late, that will effect your score as much as 50 points the first month. It will climb slowly each month thereafter if you pay on time. So, don't ever pay late. Secondly, a large part of your score is determined by the ratio of credit used to credit available. If you have a $1,000 limit on your card, DO NOT leave a balance on that card of over $500. The lower your credit debt to credit limits, the better your score will be. Lastly, the longer you have credit, the better. Some people will cancel cards and accounts that are infrequently used. Don't do that! Leave them open. On the other hand, having too many credit accounts means you are a credit hog. Every time you apply for credit, your score will go down, for a few months.


It may point in any direction, it seems.

I really do want to know this because I can't seem to find one yet.  Their is no boy that has fulfilled my dreams yet!!!

If you are still looking, do this.\n\nMake a list of the most desirable traits that this person can have.  Do ten at least.  Order them so that the most important things are first, such that you wouldn't trade the last item on the list for the first.\n\nEvery night for a week, sit down, read your list, close your eyes and imagine what this person would be like in person.\n\nAfter the first week, just read your list periodically.\n\nYou do need to be out and meeting people for this to work; however, if you are already active, don't be surprised if your prince charming is someone you already know.\n\nThis worked for me and I had very strict requirements!


I've claimed exempt since I started work in march this is the first job I've had in six years. I'd consider any reasonable legal options.

With the exception of the contribution of money to an IRA, no.  The year is already over and you cannot go back in time and change history.  You may not be able to deduct money contributed to an IRA depending on what your and any potential spouse's wages were.  Contributing to an IRA would only reduce your taxes proportionate to your tax rate.  So if you were in the 15% braket at $2000 contribution would at most reduce your taxes by $300.


important for the site and search sites. how can i get relevancy for my site?

Your page rank is generally synonymous to the relevance of keywords. Indeed it is and will continue to be a major factor for the relevance in the search results. \n\nTo raise your page rank, following is my answer:\nI could have gone on lenght on answering your query. At the first part, one need's to understand the meaning of page rank. You can study a detailed article on it at http://www.webworkshop.net/pagerank.html\n\nIn short, here's an example. There's an election and several candidates have stood up. Its natural that the guy with the most votes wins. Analogously, whenever a external page links to your website, it casts a vote for your website. So, when you search for a relevant keyword for your pages, the results come as per the no of links that you have collected.\n\nTo get more links, you can ask some of your friends who have website to put link to your website. The more the links, the higher is your rank in google results. An alternative is to start your own blog on 3-4 websites, and in each blog, put a link to your website. Indeed, if your site has quality content, mpressed visitors start linking you, specially the blogging community.\n\nAnother important part is that who links you. For example, if you get a link from a website which already has a high page rank, you automatically get a better rank. For example, if you get a link from microsoft.com or cnet.com, which have a highest page ranks, your rank shoots up automatically.\n\nGoogle rank is composed of many other factors, but the only factor it misses out is the popularity by visitors who go to the links directly. Yahoo does a good job by keeping that into account. If you carefully see the link that are seen in the Yahoo search results, a similar vote is also casted by clicking on the link in the search results. It could be possible that your website has huge no. of visitors who come through searches, but small number of links. Then its Yahoo rank would be high (more accurate), but google rank would be low. There have been many such interesting cases, so don't just consider google as your only target. Why google does not keep this 'click popularity' feature is because it takes a certain delay of time( for registering of vote on Yahoo and forwarding to the actual link), which Google does not want to take.\n\nThings You Should Never Do In Life:\nNever try to promote your site commercially from spamsters. Some of their sites are banned from google database. And if they give a link to your website, your page rank drops down drastically, and even might get removed from the search results. Also, do not link to their websites.\n\nThis is the solution to crux of your problem. You can read further on such search engine optimizations at the following sites :\n\nhttp://wolfram.org/writing/howto/3.html\nhttp://www.ssw.com.au/SSW/Standards/Rules/RulestoBetterGoogleRankings.aspx\nhttp://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol3/promo_no16.htm\nhttp://us.ecademy.com/node.php?id=58077\nhttp://www.paramountwebmasters.com/improve_my_rankings_on_google.php\nhttp://www.graphic-design.com/Web/increase_rank.html

I found out a while ago that a red hair gene is a mutation of a blond hair gene. I would like to know if it's the same for the dominant hair genes.

First off, the alleles that control hair and eye color are on more than one gene, so it isn't one specific gene, that control the color of hair or eyes. Brown hair is not a mutation. Allele wise you can either have light(blond) or dark hair, dark being dominant. As i stated it is a polygenic trait so varying gene configurations account for shades of hair.


Where did it hit, how many people died, how much damage did it do?

the largest earthquake in the states was about an 8.3. the epicenter was near new madrid, missouri. it hit in 1812... before the richter scale was invented, so we aren't 100% sure what it would measure on that scale.\n\nthe two aftershocks were more destructive than the original quake, though they were not as strong.

Bible\nJohn 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me."

The number of religions does not indicate the number of ways to GOd..only that man has chosen different ways to reach God the best way he can. This does not mean they are successful or correct, just that a sincere effort was made.  To end this confusion Jesus came to make atonement for our sins, which opens the door of forgiveness, so that man can finally have the relationship with God he needs.


In the start of 1900's UK give Palestine land to the Jews and protect them to build their country Israel, Palestine have its own people, UK has the chance to give the Jews lands with no people put it choose Palestine land.\nWhy??????????\nWhy they hate Arab and Islam????????????\nAnd they ask why we hate them??!!

It is not hating or loving them. It was looking much easier solution to put them back in their native place/origin than keeping them in racist western nations. But at the cost of Palestine people. Still Jews and Palestines could live amicably if no intimidation from other Arab nations.  But unfortunately neither Arabs nor Jews nor White Westerners are non-racists. They born up with hatred. It is not that easy to get rid of that drug.

When technical writing, what are the guidelines for the appropriate use of these two abbreviations

"When you mean 'for example,' use e.g. It is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase exempli gratia. When you mean 'that is,' use 'i.e.' It is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase id est. Either can be used to clarify a preceding statement, the first by example, the second by restating the idea more clearly or expanding upon it. Because these uses are so similar, the two abbreviations are easily confused. If you just stick with good old English 'for example' and 'that is' you won’t give anyone a chance to sneer at you. If you insist on using the abbreviation, perhaps 'example given' will remind you to use 'e.g.,' while 'in effect' suggests 'I.E.'\n\n"Since e.g. indicates a partial list, it is redundant to add 'etc.' at the end of a list introduced by this abbreviation."\n- Paul Brians\n\nThis is also in Paul Brians' book "Common Errors in English Usage," which I highly recommend.

Do you mean the Black Bible Chronicles?  It's not the whole bible, just the first five books of the old testament and the four gospels (in two volumes).\n\nBlack Bible Chronicles: From Genesis to the Promised Land/Book One\n\nRappin' With Jesus: The Good News According to the Four Brothers (The Black Bible Chronicles Book Two)\n\nAlso available in audio.\n\nREVIEWS\n\nFrom Library Journal\nBlack Bible Chronicles is an abridged audio edition of the best-selling book of the same title (American Family, 1993) that paraphrases the first five books of the Old Testament in black vernacular. It is a combination of urban street talk and 1990s street slang. Interpreter P.K. McCary's attempt "to make the Bible more relevant and meaningful and to empower today's kids with one of the greatest messages on earth" is successful on all fronts. Acclaimed actor Ben Vereen reads wonderfully, and his captivating rendition-that of a black preacher employing a staccato rap rhythm-is appropriate and entertaining. Vereen remarks that "this interpretation gives our youth a way to relate to God." Recommended for public libraries and academic libraries with collections in African American studies.\nRavonne A. Green, Emmanuel Coll. Lib., Franklin Springs, Ga.\nCopyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc\n\nFrom Booklist\nThis second volume in the Black Bible Chronicles series is part of the publisher's effort to "bring the Word of God to our younger generation in contemporary language." Here, the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John have been changed into black vernacular. A quote from Matthew is a good example of the translation process: "Jesus was born in a little town called Bethlehem 'round the time this dude named Herod was king. Three wise brothers heard 'bout the little brother's birth, too, 'cuz it had been said a really righteous King of the Jews would be born. And King Herod was a bit upset about what he was hearing, especially when he considered himself the only king!" Depending on clientele, a useful addition to the religion collection. Brad Hooper


Does it make any diference getting US$0,20 a month!?

Racial profiling is when people are assumed to have committed or will commit a crime based on there race. Like being pulled over for DWI (Driving While Black) or Middle Eastern people being assumed to be terrorist especially in airports.\nThis is for a paper so please give me your opinions I want both sides THANKS

In most instances, what is generally considered as profiling by law enforcement is wrong.  \n\nThe biggest problem I have with it is: if you put any one group under a microscope, you will catch more of the members of that group doing things, thus "verifying" your profile and removing resources from pursuing other groups.\n\nMany people say things like, "if I haven't done anything wrong I don't care if they need to search/stop me to catch the bad guys."\n\nThe problem with that thinking is it ignores the realities of the impact and embarrassment felt by those stopped/searched/scrutinized, and the chances of someone being wrongly accused of things, which does happen.  Remember Richard Jewell?

I mean, I see over and over the same names answering the same questions I answer and asking the questions I want to answer.  Is there a karmic connection between some humans or just common interests among certain humans?

I would say its because they know or somehow is aware of the situation/know the answer of the question. Anyway, its all about opinion, don't you think? Although, I believe about mental telepathy on twins.... or in my situation, it happens so often that my husband and I gets the same thoughts.


Honestly, I think this is because the bible was written by men. Your thoughts...

It's because back then civilization saw women as inferior and merely property pieces of the men they married. You can see this through just about any literature up until about the 19th century. Men saw themselves as superior to women, and this is of course reflected in the bible.

Reviewing from records, I do believe in the fact, from the point that she passed all the stringent testing done on her to check her ability to 'see like an x ray'. I had earlier seen the whole documantry made on her by Discovery Channel. Instead of me trying to explain about the facts, here's a detailed article about Natasha :\n\nhttp://english.pravda.ru/science/19/94/377/14551_XRay.html


1. US courts upheld the Federal Reserve as a private, non-governmental bank. \n2. Our US Constitution, Article 1, section 8 states that Congress has the power "To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;"\n3. The Reserve Requirement ("money multiplier") set by the Fed allows banks to lend 10 times the money they have on deposits, thus to "create money."\n4. Due to #3 above, banks therefore create over 90% of the money supply, charging interest for the money they create and lend in loans. Our money supply is therefore a majority of debt based money, meaning that we pay interest to banks for the privilege of 90% of the money in existence. \n5. The Fed and banks have usurped Congress' Constitutional right, making the nation indebted to 90+% of the money that is created by banks, at interest rates specified by the Fed independent of any branch of our gov.\n6. Congress should take back that right, as many times in the past.

The Fed's reserve requirement does not actually create money. Moreover, if you accept your arguments, the Fed is actually limiting the creation of money by requiring banks to keep more money in reserve than they otherwise would. The key problem with your argument is that the Constitution gives Congress the power to "coin money," which lending does not do. Lending allows people to use other people's money for a time. The money they are borrowing was coined by act of Congress, and the loan is repaid using money coined by act of Congress. The only money "created" is on paper.\n\nEdit: First, "to coin money" has a clear, physical meaning. There is no need to expand it into the more general sense of "to create money." Second, the framers of the Constitution clearly did not mean to eliminate the loan system which had been developing in America since long before even the Revolution, much less the Constitution, and continued even more strongly afterward. Third, the Federal Reserve Bank was created by act of Congress, and Congress observes and directs its governance, so the "creation of money" because of the Fed is through the direction of Congress, much like the physical coinage of money is not actually performed by Congress, but directed by Congress through the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Finally, the "money" created by lending is not actually usable money. When person A lends $100,000 to person B, person A cannot use that money and has no money, only a promise of money in the future. $100,000 is still all the money that exists from the transaction.


I have tried all the dvd's i have but it's still having the same problem as well as real player.

Make sure that all cables from the DVD-ROM drive are connected (IDE cable, power cable, and audio cable).  If the audio cable isn't attached the drive works fine for playing games and stuff, but not for listening to music/sound.


Answer direct from Microsoft Technet\n\nService Advertising Protocols (SAPs) are used to broadcast information about available services on the network to other networked devices. A server may send out a SAP every 60 seconds to inform other network devices about the services it offers. Workstations use SAPs to find services they need on the network. The following list of SAP IDs corresponds to the SAP IDs that networking companies give to the services on the devices they produce. Filtering of these SAPs reduces wide area network (WAN) traffic, but may also prevent remote users across the router from using the filtered service.


Am I the only one who finds this highly annoying? It seems to have increased dramatically in the last five or six years. Has anyone else noticed this?

Ok, I thought you were pretty cool, until I came up to this question.  What's up with that??  I think, yes, you are the only one annoyed by it.  Well, maybe there are two or three like you.  Anyway, I'm one of those people that parks front end out.  Why, you ask?  Because, it's easier.  That's why you see lots of pickup trucks and long cars parking that way.  When you back out of a parking space, you don't have enough space, so you backup, turn your wheel, then move forward, then backup again, then you can get out.  Ok, so maybe there is enough space, but it just seems easier, and you can avoid accidents.  Also, it has to do with the car or trucks turn radius.  Pick up trucks have a horrible turn radius compared to a car.  Also, you see the back end of your car or truck better than you see the front.  The way vehicles are made today, you don't see the bumper. It's easier to backup into the parking space, and when you leave, you just put it in drive and go.  Just my opinion.
