The Mennorah that is not used for Channukah, I understand that one- why the number of candles and the purpose?

Menorah\n\nSeven-Branched MenorahOne of the oldest symbols of the Jewish faith is the menorah, a seven-branched candelabrum used in the Temple. The kohanim lit the menorah in the Sanctuary every evening and cleaned it out every morning, replacing the wicks and putting fresh olive oil into the cups. The illustration at left is based on instructions for construction of the menorah found in Ex. 25:31-40.\n\nIt has been said that the menorah is a symbol of the nation of Israel and our mission to be "a light unto the nations." (Isaiah 42:6). The sages emphasize that light is not a violent force; Israel is to accomplish its mission by setting an example, not by using force. This idea is highlighted in the vision in Zechariah 4:1-6. Zechariah sees a menorah, and G-d explains: "Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit."\n\nThe lamp stand in today's synagogues, called the ner tamid (lit. the continual light, usually translated as the eternal flame), symbolizes the menorah.\n\nThe nine-branched menorah used on Chanukkah is commonly patterned after this menorah, because Chanukkah commemorates the miracle that a day's worth of oil for this menorah lasted eight days.


There is a garden area in front of our house that is for the neighborhood.  Due to the recent heavy snow, it has been a clear blanket of gorgeous snow.  While my husband and I were out for the evening, apparently someone came out to that area and spelled "GDVL" in foot tracks in the snow.  I was wondering if anyone knows what that might stand for.

in transliterated Hebrew it means "Great". They may have meant to say Great is the Lord. (I'm guessing here).\n\nPsalm 145:3 - gdvlyhvhvmhllmadvlgdltvaynkkr:\nGreat [gdvl] is the LORD [yhvh], and greatly [mad] to be praised [hll]; and his greatness  [gdvlh] is un [ayn]-searchable [kkr].


I think my children are looking at porn and then deleting the internet files, history files.  i cant afford a program but i cant afford not to find out.  does anyone know of a free trial version that restores the deleted data and images?

I would recommend cyberpatrol (link below).  They offer a 14 day trial.  It has features such as time restrictions (both time of day and number of minutes/hours a day using the internet).  It pre-set security based on age ranges (child, pre-teen, teen, mature teen), that can be customized.  It will also allow you to track what websites were visited and more importantly which ones they tried to visit (but were denied).  It also monitors instant messaging and chat software.  I believe the cost is $30.00 but it's well worth it when it comes to instant messaging.  It also has different profiles (multple kids or one for kids and one for the parents).\n\nMy feeling is, I trust my kids but would like to occasionally check to make sure they are using good judgement.  Plus I wanted to limited the amount of time they were spending on the internet.


Traveling in a car at the speed of light, you shine a flashlight toward a car in front of you also travelling at the speed of light. Does the flashlight beam reach the car ahead? If so, what speed is the flashlight beam traveling?

well first, read my other answer to your question about the speed of sound.  You would probably expect the answer to be the same, and the light to reach the other car, but this is a special circumstance because nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, not even light itself.  when a beam of light is shone ahead of a rapidly moving space vehicle, and is expected to be moving at the speed of light plus the speed of the vehicle, it is still only moving at the speed of light, which is puzzling.  Physicists have defined the speed of light to be the ultimate cutoff point for speed.\n\nAnd also, you wouldn't be able to travel at the speed of light anyway because time would probably stop since it does get slower and slower the faster you go.  Velocity warps time, the faster you go, the slower time moves for you relative to a stationary object.  I've read this, and it is definately true, we had to derive the formula in physics from, and calculate the time, lenghth(which decreases with speed), and mass (which increases with speed) distortion as well.  The effects of this are very negligable unless you are moving at speeds very very close to the speed of light, at least over 90% of the speed of light, and we haven't gotten anywhere close yet.  The denominator of this factor that time, length, and mass are distorted by actually is 1 minus the square root of the speed of light(c) over the speed in which the object is traveling (v), so the reason you can't go faster than the speed of light is because if v was greater than c, then that square root would be greater than one, meaning the denominator would be negative, meaning the factor would be negative, and the light would actually be travelling backwards in time...\n\nIf you find any of this interesting, I highly recommend "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene.

You can do this in  3 steps.  You might need to experiment to get the audio gain (loudness) right.\n\n1. Connect your cassette recorder's output to mic input of your PC or macintosh.  You might have to buy an adapter that adjusts the "audio gain" to the right level - so signal does not come in too soft or too loud. Since you are sending a slightly amplified signal into that mic jack and mics usually do not put out a lot of power, you don't want to overpower the mic input of your computer.\n\n2. Run a program to capture the audio. Sound Recorder is the name of the one that comes with MS-Windows. If you have a different computer, check your owner's manual.\n\n3. Play the cassette.\n\n4. Save the audio into a file.  If you can save it to MP3 directly, do that.  If you can't, then try saving it to something like WAV or AIFF.\n\n5. If the file is not already in MP3 format now, try getting your MP3 player to load it and try to get it to convert it to MP3.  If you can't get it to do that directly, I can tell you a trick.  Burn it to a blank CD-R, then "rip" (input/encode) it to MP3 audio format. Yes, it wastes a 50 cent CD-R but it should work and is pretty simple to do.  If you do not have a CD burner in your computer, that is a CD drive that reads and writes, then you will have to hunt around the web for a WAV-to-MP3 conversion utility.\n\n6. Now you can just reference the MP3 file from your web page.  An old, MS-IE only way to do that was with the non-standard BGSOUND tag in HTML, or a Netscape-only EMBED tag.  Now it looks like the in way to do it is with the OBJECT tag.\n\n<object data="http://www.YOURSITE.com/YOURFILE.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">\n   You do not have a player for MP3 files defined in your web browser.
\n   Just download this file and then open it:\n   YOURFILE.mp3\n</object>\n\nYou are going to have to put the correct host name and filename in - YOURSITE and YOURFILE are just placeholders I put in to show you where to do that.\n\nI included some URLs for pages for you to refer to in case I overlooked something.


"Records"\n\nActually, it's usually "Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records." and is attributed to William A. Ward


(And: What should I be wary of if I plan to do this?)

equiserve.com manages direct stock purchase plans for hundreds of companies. Perhaps the one you are thinking of is listed there. The transaction fees buying direct is a lot cheaper than paying the $7/trade through Scottrade or $10-17 for etrade.\nI know Exxon charges no fees when you buy direct through them (equiserve.com manages their purchase program)\n\nTo find out if the company you are interested has a direct stock purchase plan, go to the company's website and click on the "investors" links...and see if they have any information. \n\nIf the company doesn't offer direct purchase, your next cheapest way is to go through a discount broker  like scottrade,etrade,waterhouse. You can also look at sharebuilder.com if you want to buy the stock monthly at a set amount. It can be as cheap as $1/transaction every month if you put money in 20 different stocks..normal fees are $4/trade via their monthly plan.\n\nKeep an eye on the stock and watch for company news. Investors Business Daily recommends cutting your loss if the stock drops 7-8% from your buy point. This is to protect you from the possibility the stock drops even more. Also keep an eye on the daily and weekly volume in the stock. There is support in the stock if it goes up and the volume is above average. The opposite is also true...a down day with high volume or volume 2-5x higher than normal may indicate institutional investors are dumping.\n\nGood Luck!


If god is eternal then wont it be more better to consider that humans were eternal.. it does'nt have any logic\n\nI am looking towards religious reasoning

God has always exsisted. In the bible it says that. He created the world and everything in it! When you're a christian, you just have to have faith and trust! We know what's right, even if it's hard to explain or understand. There are some things in life that are just not meant to be understood!

how does it take shape . How it is formed

A full moon is simply fully visible.  Usually, the earth is between the sun and the moon to some degree.  The curved shadow on the moon is the shadow of the earth.  A full moon is when the moon is slightly to the side of the earth and the sun is shinging on the entire surface with no shadow of the earth on it.\n\nSee the link below for a good explanation.


Well without having sex and checking her "thing" of course. thanks

There is no accurate way to tell if a woman is a virgin or not. Even checking her hymen is fairly inaccuarate, because there are many things that can cause it to break, from strenuous athletic activity, particularly gymnastics, to inserting tampons and masturbating. Aside from the hymen, there are no physical or even chemical signs of the loss of virginity.


Even after I had given them the proof they asked for they forced me to get a lawyer to get it cleared up.

It would be hard to deal with without a lawyer.  The simplest thing would be to show the proof, document it, and threaten to sue if they collect from you wrongfully.  If they did so after you had given them proof they likely would be liable for much more than the amount taken.  But if that didn't scare them off, you'd still need a lawyer.  You should also make sure the credit reporting agencies haven't acted on the same bad information, and make sure the collection agency hasn't caused your credit to be affected. Ask your lawyer about that -- the collection agency will have to have that cleaned up.\n\nBy the way, I disagree with a previous poster who wrote "Generally if someone takes you to court for some reason and loses, they are required to pay your legal costs." Unless there is a special reason, in the United States the loser does not pay the legal fees of the winning party. (Costs are technically something different than legal fees, and are much much less than legal fees.)


My parents are divorced.  When applying for financial aid, to I list my home income to include the parent I'm living with or both parents?

You have to include the household income of the parent you're living on right now. You can also check which one of them have you as a direct dependant on their tax return. Not both of them can have you there and the government will also use that information as a decision point.

I often see several cars parked for long periods of time in "no parking"areas of the local hospital.Some of them seem to be there all day.This is not a reserved parking,but a NO PARKING zone,complete with the yellow stripes and all.How do these people keep from getting towed?

these zones are private property, so the police cannot control them, controlling is done by the owner, and do you know a hospital, that has money enough for even one of them?


I mean food , holydays ,educations ,etc.

As catholics, I think we celebrate a few more holy days, as we believe in the communion of saints.  I don't think the protestants do, but I could be wrong.  This month, we celebrated Saint Nicholas' feast day, the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and are observing several advent traditions/customs.  Other than that, I can't think of any obvious way you'd notice a difference.  Maybe in the crosses we hang on our walls.  Catholics will have crucifix, with Jesus on it.  Protestants, I think, are more likely to have a plain cross.


how far legaly can he go when following you and spying on you

I agree with the answer above, however I have to restate your question the way it SHOULD read:\n\nWhat rules does a private investigator have to follow while watching you? ... Spelling is so important if you're going to be taken more seriously.


It seems that gals can have it or can do without it but not the guys. Guys seems awalys feel the need to have sex.

Says who? Ever heard the saying women need a reason guys just need a place? Doesnt mean one needs it more than the other just that one of the genders is usually found doing it more than the other so openly. There is double standard that men can do it as many times as they want with whoever, and they are praised, but women however get called names.


Palm recently announced a working relationship with Microsoft.  Does that mean that Palm OS will phase out?  Obviously Palm claims that is not the case, but does it make sense to focus on two operating systems?

Simply no.  It's just like Mac OS X and Windows, there is plenty of room in the market for 2 or more handheld operating systems.  There was rumour of the decline of Palm as they are bringing out a windows based treo but this is not as a replacement but an alternative to give consumers more choice.  Palm recently renewed it's licence contract for the OS until 2010 so it's safe at least till then.


Why is it "Phantom of the Opera", and not "Ghost of the Opera"?\n\nWhy are they called "Ghostbusters", and not "Phantombusters"?

"Phantom" has the core meaning of "illusion", "unreality".. When we call a ghost a phantom.. we are doubting whether the ghost is "really there". for example.. phantom limb, etc

I know there are cases/situations where the right to free speech is not constitutionally protected (I think slander is one of them, but not sure...). I'd appreciate a list of basic types of situations/circumstances where it's not protected.

EXTREMLY basic rundown on the traditional classic unprotected categories of speech:\n\nIncitement (Brandenberg): speech directed or intended to producing imminent lawless action, and is likely to product such action.\n\nFalse statements of fact (New York Times v. Sullivan): for matters of public concern that defame public officials, the statements are unprotected if they are known to be false or are recklessly made with regard to their falsity, called "actual malice." For matters of public concern that defame private citizens, the statements are unprotected if made negligently under a case called Gertz. On matters of private concern, they may be unprotected regardless, through a consideration of the whole record.\n\nTrue threats (Virginia v. Black): those statements where the speaker means to communicate a serious expression of an intent to commit an act of unlawful violence to a particular individual or group of individuals.\n\nObscenity (Miller v. California): the average person, applying community standards, considering the work as a whole, finds that the speech appeals to the prurient interest; it is patently offensive depiction, applying community standards, of sexual conduct, as defined by statute; and as a whole, it lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.\n\nChild pornography (Ferber): the speech visually depicts minors engaged in sexual acts or lewdly exhibiting their genitals.\n\nFighting words (Chaplinsky): speech that tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace, or words that by their very utterance inflict injury, or an emotional distress tort.

It must be some kind of local drink or snack?  Barbra and some other characters said "I've just made 'Chimmy Chankers' (Or Shimmy Shankers - whatever!)" which always met with favourable response.

In the movie they are talking about chimichangas.  Basically a deep fried burrito.


This is a big university, and it's easy to get lost in the crowd. How do I go about meeting people?

The classes you are in is a good place to start. There's a mutual subject matter to start a conversation with right there. Clubs and Interest groups work too. A big university will have many many groups you can join and meet like minded people. Just dont stress too much if it takes a bit of time. People dont always open up immediately to friendship overtures. And be confident in yourself, that really helps. People want to know other people who are comfortable in their own skin. Good luck!

The Urantia Book, also sometimes referred to as "The Urantia Papers," is reported by its authors to be The Fifth Epochal Revelation to the world. It was first published in 1955 by The Urantia Foundation.\n\nCelestial beings collaborated to write the papers of The Urantia Book as a revelation to the dimming of spiritual truth in the world, in cooperation with two physicians, Drs. Lena and William S. Sadler, who lived in the vicinity of Chicago, Illinois, USA. The doctors were actively involved with the celestial beings to produce the papers. To assist, there was a "Forum" of approximately seventy volunteers who formulated questions to ask the celestial beings. The answers to the questions were given as papers and were ultimately gathered to form The Urantia Book. All material in the book is presented as authored by the celestial beings. The full text of this book is available on the internet if you look for it on google.\n\nWhile being skeptical or dismissive of its religious claims, some people still have considered the book to be exceptional from a creative writing and literary point of view. It has been enjoyed as a form of science fiction or fantasy. The Urantia Book is noted for its high level of internal consistency and its advanced writing style. As fiction it is enjoyed as mythology and as literature as philosophy. The entire tome draws on numerous topics related to religion, science, history, and philosophy all of which can be viewed as either fact or fiction.\n\nCompared to the bible:\nThe book somewhat erroneously has been associated with the New Age movement, likely because its origin is thought by some to be through channeling or a mysterious type of materialization. Of all current world religions, The Urantia Book's teachings are likely most consistent with the teachings of Christianity. There are differences between The Urantia Book and common Christian beliefs. Many believers see it as extending Judeo-Christian religious concepts in a way that is somewhat analogous to how the New Testament can be considered a growth of Old Testament ideas.\n\nJesus is held in high regard by The Urantia Book, as he is in the Bible. More than one third of the page count in The Urantia Book is devoted to a narrative that retells his life. The divinity of Jesus is fully embraced by the authors of the book as is his human nature.\n\nThe following are attributed to Jesus, as in the Bible:\n\n    * He was a Son of God incarnate, born to Mary and Joseph\n    * He was God in man; both human and divine\n    * He lived a perfect life\n    * He is "the light of the world"\n    * He revealed God to man as "the way, the truth, and the life"\n    * He revealed God as a loving Father\n    * He performed many of the miracles described in the Bible, such as the resurrection of Lazarus, the turning of water into wine, the feeding of the five thousand, and numerous healings of the blind, diseased, and infirm\n    * He taught twelve apostles, eleven of whom who went on to spread his teachings\n    * He settled a rebellion with Satan\n    * He was crucified and three days later rose from the dead\n    * He will return again someday\n\nThe Urantia Book shares the following general concepts of God with most Christian faiths:\n\n    * God is described as a loving personality\n    * God is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, infinite and eternal\n    * God is a Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit\n    * God has a "heavenly host"\n    * God is love, truth, and beauty and there is no sin, unrighteousness, or evil in Him\n    * Believers can have a personal relationship with God\n    * Believers will survive death\n    * God knows what people need before they ask it\n    * God provides angels to guard and minister to people throughout their lives\n\nDifferences with orthodox Christianity include:\n\n    * Jesus' crucifixion is not considered an atonement for the sins of humanity. His death is de


i know that using plant matter will transform CO2 into oxygen and Carbon, is there a way to do this w/o plants?

You could use a catalyst to turn CO2 into a oxygenate.\n\nPlants would be the most efficient and cheapest way possible as far as I know. But plants won't just grow on mars, you would need to make the conditions suitable for plant life to survive. I think they were talking about man-made global warming to increase the atmosphere and warm it up for possible teraforming. \n\nAlso, there is water on mars already and why would you want it to rain carbon?

Also, can anyone advise me as to how to change my email addy on my sbcglobal/yahoo account-it will let me change all info except that.

that's why I never ever use sucky emails provided by all my ISPs. Each time I change my address or move into another state, I have to change my ISP/email.\n\nmail.Yahoo.com (or others similar web based service) are life-time things.

I mean: imagine the IPSec tunnel ends in the perimetral Firewall of a corporate LAN, but you want confidentiality to be preserved also in the LAN.

SSL is security at the Application Layer\nand IPSec is securing the Network Layer\n\nIPsec will work with any application but requires an IPsec client to be installed on each remote device (PC, PDA, etc.) to add the encryption.\n\nIn contrast, SSL is built into every browser, so no special client software is required. However, because of its dependence on browsers, SSL normally only works with Web-based applications (e.g., not Microsoft Outlook for e-mail). There is a workaround to this that requires enterprises add a separate SSL tunnel-termination gateway box at their central sites; this box then front-ends traditional client-server applications that aren't accessible from a browser. \nBesides SSL not requiring any special client software, there's one other benefit. Most [telecommuters] with residential broadband services (e.g., DSL, cable modem) use IP VPNs based on either IPsec or SSL-encrypted tunnels to protect against eavesdropping. Some residential broadband services have started blocking IPsec traffic from home users unless that customer pays ... much more expensive business (as opposed to residential) rates. These same broadband providers can't block SSL, since everyone routinely uses SSL to access their bank accounts or to make credit card purchases from e-commerce Web sites. Thus, SSL (compared to IPsec) is immune to attempts by residential broadband service providers to force [telecommuters] (or their employers) to pay more for the same service.\n\nFinally, some NAT (network address translation) routers don't work well with IPsec traffic, whereas SSL passes through NAT routers just fine. \n\nI would say SSL and IPSec are complementary and effectively secure network traffic when used together\nFor more info, you can refer the below article\nhttp://www.cscic.state.ny.us/msisac/webcasts/07_05/info/ip_sec_ssl.htm

If you have, what are some good exercises to get the range of motion back? My doctor just told me he wants me to get to a certain point in a week, but not really how. I start physical therapy in about two weeks, so after that I'll know. But for now, any suggestions?

I have torn my ACL snowboarding, it was not a lot of fun.  Here two years later and it still acts up sometimes when i ride.\n\nThe best excercise you can do for it is to ride a stationary bike or use one of those eliptical machines to work the muscles back in order.\n\nMy doctor had me use this machine that stretched my leg out and then would bend it until i could'nt take it anymore, i could adjust the settings to increase or decrease the range of motion.  I also had a big bottle of pain pills that allowed me to stretch my knee like this.  After awhile your range of motion will return.\n\nOh yeah, you could use those rubber band things they sell at the pharmacy, they work well also.  Basically you want to push your knee until it hurts forward and backward until you get your range of motion back...\n\nSorry to hear this happened to you, i know all to well how frustrating this injury is, don't fret though, things will get good again.  You will be killing it in no time.


I live in the San Luis Valley where there is no work, I live paycheck by paycheck and I am just unable to give my children any type of xmas!  What can I do? Any ideas????

Give presents that are essentially free! Be arts-and-craftey and make greeting cards out of magazine cut-outs. Make craft gifts from craftster.org. Take your kids out to nature and spend quality time with them collecting colorful stones, interesting bugs and flowers. Help them build a box for their collection.


Is it any quicker to deposit a check in my ATM over the weekend than to wait until Monday morning?  \n\nIs there any difference depositing it in the branch vs the ATM in terms of how fast the funds will be available?

It should not make a difference. If you make a deposit  on a sunday, it will appear on your statement as dated for the following business day. Keep in mind that the bank can hold the check for up to 10 days before making the funds available to you - you can assure that this does not happen by asking if the funds are going to be available for immediate withdrawl - of course only if you deposit it in person.


This is for C/c++ programmer. I'd like to know how can we suppress/change order of static routine which are executing from code automatically at startup. You don't need to bother about whats routine are for here, just imagin they are called whenever ur application started.

When you have an OO language, my suggestion will always be to use those OO features.\nThat said, for C++ I would model objects and use their constructors to get a good start in which I can determine the order of construction by calling as needed. Please see the fist link below on how to manage static construction.\nSo don't think about "functions" but "state/objects" and their "initialization".


I program in PHP and MySQL, I'm good at it!  I want to start something that is user-generated and free and would just generate money from ads.  I guess I need a partner.  Anyone have any ideas?

you have great skills. valuable too.\n\nthis is what you do:\n\n1. you jump out look around the town\n\n2. you spot a few business that sell some nice things and are making money. \n\n3. you ask if they have a web-site. some will. but not all.\n\n4. you make them a offer they can't refuse: \n\nyou: "hi sir, did u know how much money u can make from the internet (they already know!)?"\n\nsir: "oh yes! yes! sure.. but umm.. but um ye.. we're not ready for that.. we don't know where to begin.. how much does it cost to have a e-ship? $3-4k right? too much".\n\nyou:"well sir.. i'm here to help you out! I will design a whole website with yourname.com and list all ur goods ready to be shipped globally so u can make $$$$$ instantly all for freee!!!! it will be ready in a month and u won't have to pay me a penny.. all i ask in return is 20% cut out of the profit u make from this site.. good deal or what.. no risk at all!"\n\nsir:"wow really? can you do that boy? where do we begin?"\n\nyou know, there are a few programmers in silicon valley who are making $5mil+/annume just doing this.\n\ngluck


Multiple intelligence theory is used mainly to remind teachers that not all students are strong in the area they teach.  Teachers should vary their lessons and teaching methods to give those who are stronger  in the lesser taught intelligences.  For example:\nUse TPR (total physical responce)strategies to help those who learn by doing.\nUse songs or chants to help those more musically inclined.\n\nThe performance of students can be lowered by a teacher who only teaches one way.  For example, lecturing involves aural intelligence, and students who have a hard time listening to information, rather than reading it, may suffer.


the word allusion i need to figure out where it came from and what word it came down from.

allusion  \n1548, from L. allusionem (nom. allusio) "a playing with, a reference to," from allus-, stem of alludere (see allude). An allusion is never an outright or explicit mention of the person on thing the speaker seems to have in mind.

I want personal experiences and not hearsay evidences please....

i regularly go astralling.  in fact, a lot of people do, whether or not they realize it in the waking world.  you see, people generally have two selves.. their physical self that houses their Waking Mind, and their Astral self.  your astral self often gets around in the astral realms, regardless of whether or not your waking mind realizes it.\n\nthere are many in the y-messenger chat rooms, religion and beliefs/paganism, that also have experience with astral projection.  i think you'll find some real-time q&a to be quite helpful.  however, it seems to be a phenomenon of the paganism rooms that the higher the number, the less people there are, and the more focused the topics.  you'll have to be patient, however.  for every month i spend on there, i maybe get a day's worth of applicable and serious conversation.  when it happens, however, it's GOOOOOOOOOOOD!\n\nas for personal experiences, i can give you a bit, but they are, indeed, quite personal...\n\ni lay down as if i'm going to sleep, and at that state between dreams and wakefullness, you'll find yourself in the perfect meditative state for astralling.  first, i Visualize (that's imagination with force and intent--sounds trite, but try it and you'll see what i mean) a "dream vista" of my choosing.  this can be whatever i wish.  as the vista becomes tangible to me, that is as i manifest unto it.  the FIRST thing i do is raise a shield around me as i sit and collect my thoughts.  to do that, again, Visualization.  in fact, i wouldn't go ANYWHERE in the astrals until you're MORE THAN COMFORTABLE with forming a vista and a shield.  as for the nature of yours, that is up to you.  :)  it is also up to you the form in which you manifest, but i suggest human, as it's what you know in this life.  don't get ahead of yourself!  :)\n\nwhen i feel i'm ready (don't rush it!) i stand up, stretch my legs, and decide where i want to go.  sometimes, it's certain spirit-energy-hubs.  these often manifest themselves in the mortal mind as tangible cities.  there's so many that i cannot list them all here.  after making sure no entity has any pressing business with me, i set off.  sometimes, instead of going to a public place, i'll try and find a few astral friends i've met over the years, and we find a nice secluded spot and chill.  once in a while, and i'm sure this happens to a lot of astrallers, i get attacked.  i'm sure some people find such scary, but you can get attacked in the physical realm, as well...  so you're really no safer here nor there.  i suggest dealing with astral attackers in a "non-lethal" manner (there's a reason that's in quotes), as sometimes entities have a big brother that they run back to for help...  get the picture?  hee hee!\n\nsometimes my spirits and i go and find old astral entities that we know of and ask their advice on certain topics.  sometimes we don our helmets and have a friendly sparring match, just for fun.  i want to make note that i'm not denoting ownership when i say "my spirits".  you can translate that as "my friends".. showing how we relate, not some vile master-slave relationship.\n\nsometimes the astralling continues long after my body has actually fallen asleep, yet the mind continues to be conscious of what goes on.  this is not always the case, however.  once in a while the astralling session just fades out and i rejoin my sleeping body.  sometimes, i continue the whole night through, and then the alarm clock goes off and interrupts me.  Sure, i have to go to work, but there's few things more irritating than having a particularly good astralling session interrupted by something so mundane.  \n\nthe next night, when i "jack back in", so to speak, i often find that my astral self is still continuting whatever it was that we left off with..  or even finished that up and then began a new task.\n\ni


who thinks bush should be im peached??\ndo u think it was the right thing to do going to war??

I don't think there are grounds for impeachment, but going to war was definitely wrong.  The reasons he gave the American public for going to war turned out to be lies.  There were no WMD.  When Bush was campaigning they harped on the fact that they WERE NOT interested in nation building.  Now?  "We can't pull out of Iraq.  It is our responsibility to rebuild their government and get them on their feet."  Every time anyone tries to use 9-11 to justify the war I throw up a little in my mouth.  Osama bin Laden and al Quida are responsible for 9-11.  One war, billions of dollars and thousands of American lives later, Osama bin Laden is still free and al Quida is still in operation.  Sound like a success to you?

Under anaytical chemistry there are branches namely \nquallitative and quantitative analysis.\nwhat are there applications?

Qualitative analysis answers the question what substances or elements are within a sample. Quantitative analysis answers the question how much of these substances are within the sample.\n\nIn both cases, a negative answer means "we didn't find anything using the methods we had", not "there isn't anything of this substance inside".


i'm new to this sport but i like it very much.can anybody teach me a little

Typically, the center is the tallest man on the floor. Traditional centers stay close to the basket on offense, where they can use their size to get good shots because they are so close. Often these are dunks, layups, put backs (shots off of a rebound), or hook shots. They're also expected to be the best rebounders, since they are taller than everyone else.\n\nOn defense, centers again stay close to the basket because if a guard or forward gets around the person defending them, the center can still slide over and block or alter the shot (since presumably, he is taller than the player trying to shoot). They are again expected to rebound.\n\nNon-traditional centers, particularly those from foreign countries (no idea why), move farther from the basket to shoot. Some, like China's Wang Zhu-Zhu, are actually good three point shooters. Having a center like this is sometimes considered an advantage, since traditional centers are not used to guarding a player far from the basket.

When you feel the cold just starting, drink a shot (one is enough) of any 80 proof alcohol (hope you're over 21 ;). If you were late and the cold is full blown, drink lots of fluids. Common cold is a virus, and viruses wash away. Try tea with lemon or honey, chicken soup is excellent. Avoid things that make you thirsty: carbonated drinks, coffee etc. If you can tolerate warm milk, it's a great thing to have. My colds don't last for more then two days.


mine are blue, yellow and black,WAIT!! you can't forget hot pink. u can name more than 1.

My favorite color is GREEN. I LOVE it. It has always struck me as the most beautiful of colors. It doesn't try to be a HOT color or a COOL color or especially EARTHY or DULL or MUTED. By itself, in it's most basic form, it just looks like the color of humble joy with a secret to tell.


we need this for our research study and if we're not going to have an ORIGINAL survey tool or any questionaire regarding this title we have to re-defend this....

Don't know of any "out of the box" surveys. Here are a couple of articles that you can read. You can get some ideas from them, and/or use some of their methodology to make up your own survey.\n\nOne thing to consider is whether you might want to do an interview rather than a questionnaire? Some of the studies below use an interview format.\n\nCheck out this article on gender preferences in ob doctors, which used an interview format:\nhttps://www.acog.org/from_home/publications/green_journal/wrapper.cfm?document=/from_home/publications/green_journal/2002/ong13500fla.htm\n\nThis study used a questionnaire on attitudes toward male nurses:\nPreferences for female and male nurses: the role of age, gender and previous experience – year 2000 compared with 1984. By: Chur-Hansen, Anna., Journal of Advanced Nursing, Jan2002, Vol. 37 Issue 2, p192-198.\n\nNot exactly what you wanted, but very related:\nA study to ascertain gynaecological patients’ perceived levels of embarrassment with physical and psychological care given by female and male nurses. By: Lodge, N; Mallett, J; Blake, P; Fryatt, I., Journal of Advanced Nursing, May97, Vol. 25 Issue 5, p893-907.\n\nHere is a Japanese study:\nTomishima Y. Takahashi Y. Sugimoto K. Ishiya M.

Well, if you do not want to pay points (by this I am guessing the origination fee) you would get a much higher interest rate.  The origination fee is how Mortgage Brokers get paid.  The higher interest rate given, the more money the broker makes, which is why you would get the higher rate without paying points.  My recommendation: pay the points, and get the lower rate if you will be in it long term.  If it is short term 2 years or less, you might consider the higher rate with no points.

Has Anyone else seen Jaws as many times as I have. I have seen it over 200 times, and still counting. I think it is one of the greatest films made. How many films have scared the crap out of people as much as Jaws did. Not too many!!! Robert Shaw is awesome in the film.

I've only seen it 5 times... good movie, but I'm not sure about the Greatest ever made. Perhaps its a generational thing or the fact I've never been scared of sharks...


-Within each layer, the form alternating single and double bonds.\n- Graphite is an example of a network solid.\n- Each carbon atom in graphite is bonded to four other carbon atoms. \n- The bonds between graphite layers are weaker than the bonds within graphite layers.

All are true except that each atom is bonded to four others.  Carbon's valence is four, and so it can only form four bonds--by having double bonds, there is no room to bond to four atoms.  Diamond, on the other hand, has each carbon atom bonded to four other atoms, but no double bonds.\n\nGraphite forms in sheets, with no covalent linking between pifferent sheets.  That is why it is so soft.\n\nthe picture on the second link does not show the double bonds, but if you pick a single direction and regard all parallel bonds in that direction to be double bonds, the valence states will make sense.


I'm currently in the UK and am 16 and would like to be a basketball player as well as an engineer. I'm 1,91m and play basketball quite a bit.

Yes, but two things are very important to make this happen, and they are:\n\n1) You must be decently smart to be an electrical engineer.\n\n2) Out of the billions of people on the planet Earth, you must be one of the top 150 basketball players among these humans. \n\nMy advice: Forget basketball, concentrate on math.


Today when i blew on my fire it got bigger and i have all ways wonndered why.

Oxygen is what fuels fire, but when we blow out a candle there is so much force in your breath that the flame is blown out otherwise it would only make it bigger. Oxygen is highly flammable, carbon-dioxide is a fire suppressant.

I have been looking to buy a house in Los Angeles since October but I have noticed a slow down in both homes sold and price appreciation. If there is a housing bubble will it pop dramatically like dotcom stock or will it more likely deflate slowly then stable out to a price not far from where it is now? Tell me what you think because all I read is the newspapers and online articles. I want to know what real people think of the housing bubble.

Your question asks if the state of the housing market is one extreme (bubble) or the other (media hype), but I think the answer lies somewhere in between and also depends on your personal circumstances.\nThe general market appears to moderating and by "moderating" I mean the rate of housing price growth is slowing.  This doesn't mean that prices are falling.  The media often misses this subtle, yet important distinction.  Slowing price increases are a good thing because it means that the market is starting to act more rationally.  We all know that prices can't continue to increase at the same rate they have for the past 3-5 years (+10 to +30% a year).  So, the moderation of these increases are not a sign of trouble.  They're a sign of a return to rationality.\nWhat would be a sign of trouble?  A few things come to mind:\n- A substantial increase in job losses and unemployment on a national and, more importantly, a local level.  Think about how business is doing in the L.A. area and where it is likely to go in the future.\n- A substantial increase in the long-term interest rates would be worrisome because fewer people will be able to afford to buy your house for a high price.  Notice I said "substantial".  Everyone knows that rates will go up slightly over the next year or two.  But that's natural as our financial markets try to get to a normal interest rate level.  Our current rates are abnormally low and returning to 7% ish isn't such a bad thing.\n- We restrict immigration substantially.  Immigration trends are driving the demand for first-time home buyers in the U.S.  If we restrict the number of people who can enter our country, become productive citizens and eventually buy a home, we'll lower demand for housing.  Especially in Los Angeles!\nI don't trust the media to give me a balanced view of the housing (or any other) market because that's not their objective.  Media's goal is to get you to watch and they wouldn't get very many viewers if they said that the market would likely just moderate going forward with only slight increases for the future.  They get much more attention when they find data that will allow them to make dire predictions and predict doom and gloom.\nCurrently, the prices of houses are being driven by people's ability to afford the monthly payment and the supply of people looking to purchase houses.  I think that increasing rates will lower the prices a little bit, but I don't think prices will fall significantly causing many people to lose many and file bankruptcy.  I personally don't know anyone who is overleveraged and would be devastated by a decline in housing prices.  They would just continue paying their mortgages and living in the house.  However, when I talk to people about the market, they all think there is a significant population of people who are going bankrupt.  I'm not sure there is much real data to support this paranoia, however.\nNow, to address the second part of my answer -- your personal situation.  If you buy a house for the right personal reasons, then you won't have to worry about future housing prices as much.  If you're committed to staying the local area and you have professional job stability, then you will have more security to ride out any short-term price fluctuations.  Additionally, you should consider the value of owning versus renting along other lines than pure investments.  What is the value of owning your own residence and being able to upgrade various amenities when and how you please?  (Hey - new jet tub! Granite countertops!)  What is the value of being able to demonstrate security to your family and friends?  (Honey, I really am committed to building a family!)  What is the value of not having to deal with landlords and other renting hassles?\nI'm not saying there are concrete answers to those questions, but you should consider them and if they have high value to you, then


Almonds have 40% of the USRDA of Vitamin E, 20% of Vitamin B2, and 20% dietary fiber. Almonds are high in monounsaturated fats (the "good" kind) and are known to help lower cholesterol.\n\nMany of the articles I've found suggest eating mixed nuts to get the advantages of each!\n\n"Almonds have slightly more vitamin E than walnuts, and much more magnesium. Walnuts, stand out as the only nut with an appreciable amount of alpha-linolenic acid, the only type of omega-3 fat you’ll find in a plant-based food. Peanuts (which technically are legumes) lead in the folate category. Cashews have even more magnesium than almonds (83 milligrams per ounce vs. 73) but they lag behind in vitamin E. If it’s selenium you’re after — as many men are, because the mineral might protect against prostate cancer — then look to Brazil nuts: One ounce has almost 10 times the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of 55 micrograms"


Okay, let's hear it.  Personally I love Windows XP and I think it's the best operating system on the planet next to OSX (I'm not about to pay $1700 for a less capable Mac when I could get a perfectly good gaming PC).\n\nIf I had to say one thing, it is keeping on top of spyware and virus infections but between AVG and MS AntiSpyware over the last six months my computer has remained infection free.\n\nI also find those Balloon tips annoying too.

I hate that no matter how many times I uninstall then install my printer it still comes up with a box when I shut down my computer that the hp printer operation will not shut down then I always have to press the shut down now button.


A signal transmitted from earth, in order to be recieved by someone in another part of the universe, would have to be strong enough to be 'heard' over the background noise of the sun. How strong as signal would this take? Is it possible with current technology? What about current off-the-shelf components?

Not only the power of a signal has to be considered. It is also very important the size of the antena used (the size really matters :)), With a very big parabolic anthena, you can reach farest with the same power.

Class.forName("---Path to Driver Name---") \nwt's the use of above statement ?

Unless you write or use a special or custom class loader class files are loaded from the CLASSPATH. The can be defined as a environment variable or you can pass it in as a option to the java runtime. So you don't actually "register" when usuing just the JVM. If using some Java J2EE applicaitons / servers they will provide a configuration or installation aide that will build the classpath for you. Without knowing what environment your running on / using I can only point you to the -classpath option at the command line.\n\nCheers, good luck


I wear a plus-sixe tampon and an overnight pad, but I still bleed over onto the sheets.  I've tryied getting up in the middle of the night to replace the tampon and pad, but most of the time I just turn off the alarm and go back to bed.

Well i would put a towel under you while your sleeping so theres less of a chance of leaking onto the sheets! Wear a tampon and a pad. That works better than just wearing one or the other. Also wear regular underwear not thongs or strings that way the pad stays on better and does'nt shift around while your sleeping. Seeing a doctor may help also.


Muslims, Hinduisms, Catholic, Mormons, etc. etc... Why are there several religions? since they all have the same objectives, and the same God. sometimes they fight, and even kill for their belief. why?!?!

As a Hindu we are taught that God is big and vast. It is taught that there are so many religions because every person experiences God differently. These experiences, along with differing desired spiritual goals, are the main reason why there are so many religions.\n\nThere is a simple story told about four blind men who walk in a forest. Each of them comes across an elephant, briefly. One touches the trunk of the elephant, another only its ear. Another man touches the tail, and the fourth one touches the body. Each of these four men have had an individual encounter with an elephant. Each of them was only able to touch a part of the elephant for the brief time the elephant was passing. To each of them an elephant is a very different thing. The meaning is that God is like the elephant. He is big and when we reach to touch God, we can only touch a small part. There are different religions because each of us is touching a different part of the elephant, each religion has touched a different part of God. Religions don't all necessarily have the same goals, either. Yes they want to promote peace and unity, but think for a moment....some want to go to Heaven and be with their personalize manifested experience of God, like Jesus, Krishna. Some people want to just see their family and ancestors in Heaven and some want to experience the paradise of Heaven. Some aren't reaching for Heaven at all, but merely finding peace right now in this life and experiencing God right now, in this moment and not concerned with a future. These are all very different spiritual goals, all touching different parts of God. God manifested to them in various different ways and thus we react to the experiences that those manifestations bring.\nWhy do religions fight? It is usually over not being respectful of other's experiences and trying to force others to experience what they experience. Sometimes conflicts aren't even really about religion at all, but since religion is expressions of our deepest Self, these conflicts begin to get expressed by us in the only way we can understand such things, through our religion.

If he asks me if I will have his children because I would make a good mommy and asks me if in the future I would be his wife. What does he mean by this?

sounds like he sees you as a mother figure or if you say yes you'll have his kids then he knows you'll be interested in sex

Is a class worth it? And who would teach it best? Is it possible to do on-line? Are there texts that are standards? Is it possible to learn for free somewhere?

I think it depends on your reason for learning sign language.  You may find some cheap classes offered through you community.  A lot of community colleges may offer sign language.  If you happen to live near a school for the deaf you probably could get classes there.  Also if you live in a large city check for Community Services for the Deaf.  Usually large cities have non-profit organizations that will offer classes to the public.


Please do not make fun of the fact that my college teacher chose a topic on which we must demonstrate to the 6th graders how to write a comparison story based on detailed facts.The 6th graders voted that they wanted the college students to show them comparison between kanye west and green day because my teacher is interested in green day, and the 6th grade teacher is interested in kanye west, so the 6th graders made a music artists' joke, which came out to be the result of our writing.Thank You so much guys.

This isn't very comprehensive, but Google Fight shows how popular they are compared to each other.\n\nKanye - 4,570,000      \nGreen Day - 163,000,000


Is it reasonable to offer 10,000 or 15,000 dollars less than the asking price?

If you have an agent, have them run a CMA (comparative market analysis) for the property.  This will tell you what other homes the same size, age and location have recently sold for.  From there, you can make a realistic offer.  I've had clients offer full price because of market demands, and I've had clients get $10-20k less because a particular area is slow.  You need more info!  You can email me if you have any further questions.


Do you despise the Red Sox? Is Alex Rodriguez your favorite Yankee? If not, who is?

yes i do despise the red sox.  a rod is not my favorite yankee.  my reasoning behind this is because he did not come up a yankee.  he is a natural star. i feel that my favorite yankee is derek jeter. he has a lot of talent and was brought up in the yankee farm system.  i think to be a true yankee, you have to be brought up learning the ropes in the yankee farm system, anything less would consider you an accquisition in order to try to improve the team.  as we all know, the yankees do not have many farm players coming up and it is sad.  maybe if we rasied more talent, we could win our 27th.

specially young ones, is it perhaps that they don't have nothing else to do

Young ones are curious. Sex is something rare. If everyone is naked and sex is casual. We would think about clothes.

I think the iron loses magnetism when combining with oxygen, but I'm not sure. If so, how is this possible? This is a chemical change, and magnetism is not a chemical property. Is it?

Does iron lose magnetism when combining with oxygen?\nProbably not.\n\nIs magnetism a chemical property?\nMagnetism has a relationship with electricity. Electricity is caused by charges of atoms.\nIf a substance is insulative, current electricity will not occur but static electricity will occur.\nIf a substance is conductive, vice versa.\nTherfore, magnetism is a chemical property.\n\nHow to weaponize blood-borne iron?\nBlood is very weak in magnetism.\nI have no idea on how to weaponize it.\nProbably you need great force.\n\nConsider rechecks. These are only my guessings.\n\n\nMy friend just told me that blood is dimagnetic.\nIt means that blood opposes charges from another substances.

I have brown hair and I am not sure if I must go to blond or more red color?

i have brown hair too. if you try blonde it will probaly turn orange. trust me!!!!red is a better tone.Try to go light auburn first. if you want to go blonde go to a salon. is ther a sally's in your area they have everthing you need to do a dye job at home.  but don't try blonde at home unless your prepared for a weird color.. if your looking for bold try drop dead red it's in a little blue bottle and you need too buy devloper this is easy to do by your self if there is not a sally's beuty store theres one in your yellow pages probbly under beauty supply. and to dye your hair blonde at home is a bad idea! imagine blonde hair with dark eyebrows. also the blonde will probaly make you look pale or yallow!!!!!!!

Gender-discrimination, meaning treating people differntly becaouse of their gender.  Different rules for females than males.

Women are playing a big role in the War in Iraq. I think it is entirely possible for women to serve in the Infantry and other Combat Arms occupations simply because of what they have done so far in the current war. In todays kind of guerilla warfare it is actually more likely that a truck driver or other non combat arms occupation will be attacked than the infantry. This is because the Infantry train so well  and so often that the insurgents can't match up against them. Once they learn this they begin to target military units who do not train for combat as much as combat arms occupations. These are the type of units that women are allowed to take part in and consequently they often times see combat. Now the US Army is beginning to train all MOS (Military Occupation Specialties) for combat almost as much as the soldiers whos sole occupation is combat.\n\nWomen will probably experience some sort of discrimination for a long time simply because of tradition gender role stereotypes. However, eventually I think official policy will change to put women on the same level as men in most aspects of the military.

Treatment of cancer\n\nCancer can be treated by surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy or other methods. The choice of therapy depends upon the location and grade of the tumor and the stage of the disease, as well as the general state of the patient (performance status). A number of experimental cancer treatments are also under development.\n\nComplete removal of the cancer without damage to the rest of the body is the goal of treatment. Sometimes this can be accomplished by surgery, but the propensity of cancers to invade adjacent tissue or to spread to distant sites by microscopic metastasis often limits its effectiveness. The effectiveness of chemotherapy is often limited by toxicity to other tissues in the body. Radiation can also cause damage to normal tissue.\n\nBecause "cancer" refers to a class of diseases, it is unlikely that there will ever be a single "cure for cancer" any more than there will be a single treatment for all infectious diseases.\n[edit]\n\nSurgery\n\nIf the tumor is localized, surgery is often the preferred treatment. Example procedures include mastectomy for breast cancer and prostatectomy for prostate cancer. The goal of the surgery can be either the removal of only the tumor, or the entire organ. Since a single cancer cell can grow into a sizable tumor, removing only the tumor leads to a greater chance of recurrence. A margin of healthy tissue is often resected to make sure all cancerous tissue is removed.\n\nIn addition to removal of the primary tumor, surgery is often necessary for staging, e.g. determining the extent of the disease and whether there has been metastasis to regional lymph nodes. Staging determines the prognosis and the need for adjuvant therapy.\n\nOccasionally, surgery is necessary to control symptoms, such as spinal cord compression or bowel obstruction. This is referred to as palliative treatment.\n[edit]\n\nChemotherapy\n\nChemotherapy is the treatment of cancer with drugs ("anticancer drugs") that can destroy cancer cells. It interferes with cell division in various possible ways, e.g. with the duplication of DNA or the separation of newly formed chromosomes. Most forms of chemotherapy target all rapidly dividing cells and are not specific for cancer cells. Hence, chemotherapy has the potential to harm healthy tissue, especially those tissues that have a high replacement rate (e.g. intestinal lining). These cells usually repair themselves after chemotherapy.\n\nBecause some drugs work better together than alone, two or more drugs are often given at the same time. This is called "combination chemotherapy"; most chemotherapy regimens are given in a combination.\n\nA novel technique involves taking samples of the patient's tissue before chemotherapy. These tissues samples are screened to ensure they do not contain cancerous cells. The samples are expanded using tissue engineering techniques, and are then re-implanted following high dose chemotherapy in order to recolonise the damaged and somewhat destroyed tissue. A variation upon this method uses allogenic samples (samples donated by a different donor) instead of the patient's own tissue4.\n[edit]\n\nImmunotherapy\n\nImmunotherapy is the use of immune mechanisms against tumors. These are used in various forms of cancer, such as breast cancer (trastuzumab/Herceptin®) but also in leukemia (gemtuzumab ozogamicin/Mylotarg®). The agents are monoclonal antibodies directed against proteins that are characteristic to the cells of the cancer in question, or cytokines that modulate the immune system's response.\n[edit]\n\nRadiation therapy\n\nRadiation therapy (also called radiotherapy, X-ray therapy, or irradiation) is the use of ionizing radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation therapy can be administered externally via external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) or internally via brachytherapy. The effects of radiation therapy are localised and confined to

Because he received the death penalty from a court of law for killing 4 people.


Well, planets are the blown off objects of a star. During the birth of a star, massive eruptions are normal. Due to the impact of the eruption, the blown away parts travel over the space and will start rotating around the star from which these objects got blown away. The rotations take place due to the magnetic power of the star.\n\nInitially the planets are pretty hot and in few billion years, they cool and settle down like earth.


Are names and/or fictional words from literature copyrighted? For example, the word "entmoot" from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy - could someone use that in a company/corporation or product name?

In the United States (and the law is similar in most countries), it isn't copyright that you need to worry about. Single words and titles aren't copywrited.  However, the word "entmoot" from the Lord of the Rings is probably subject to trademark protections, even though it may not be registered as a trademark.  The law can be complicated, and many tests are applied, but the basic question asked in trademark is whether the mark (in this "entmoot") is associated with the previous user and could cause confusion in a customer when the customer sees it used by the new user. That is, would someone buying a product with "entmoot" in the title assume that the product is associated with Tolkien/ Lord of the Rings because of the word.  I think they probably would, myself.\n\nThe US Trademark Office and Copyright Office have some useful information online if you want to pursue the question.  http://www.uspto.gov/main/faq/index.html

Your questions are like asking what is the prettiest color for an automobile!  Personally I would suggest you shoot various weights and loads to see which are the most pleasant to shoot and which provide the best accuracy.  Even for practice you might want to stay away from lead as it tends to create more cleaning problems over the long haul.  You can find excellent prices for ammo at Natchez Shooters Supplies(www.natchezss.com).  Don't forget to wear hearing and eye protection!


I went out to clubin with family, there were 4 fites in da club.

why did The Roman Catholic Church change so much of what jesus lived and taught?

Because they became powerful by instilling fear, and power corrupts, and no one is stopping them.  You can't say why "did", you should say why "does" the church change so much, then suppress so much.  The Pope is as close to God as the rest of us.


If so, do you know their names and launching dates?

There are two under construction, the first being the last of the Nimitz-class carriers, the George H. W. Bush (CVN-77). She is scheduled to be christened in March, 2006, delivered in March 2008, and commissioned in 2009. The Nimitz-class carrier program has been eliminated, to be replaced by the CVN-21 program, a highly advanced supercarrier. The first, designated CVN-78 and as yet unnamed. A ceremonial steel cut was made at the new plant to build all of the CVN-21 class carriers. Construction is expected to begin in 2007, though it depends on funding from Congress. It would then be commissioned in 2015. Possible names are USS-America, USS-Lexington, and USS-Enterprise. The last option seems likely since the current Enterprise is set to decommission the same time as the CVN-78's commissioning.


I started off at $6.50. They worked me to death..then gave me another .50.  Then after a little more working and I was doing everything they did not want to do and more, they raised me $1.  I have been here almost 2 years.  It is to early to ask for another raise?

The best time to ask for a raise is when you have just completed a difficult task to your boss's satisfaction.  In other words, when you know he/she appreciates the great job that you've just finished, ask to speak privately to him/her and go for it.  Good luck. Timing is everything.

The guy has a bad problem with booze, however the family is too blind to see that he has a problem.  He doesnt think he has a problem, and will not go to AA.  His wife considers herself a smart person but instead keeps buying beer for him so he will not be mad.  What to do?

As a 3 year member of Alcoholics Anonymous I'm gonna try to answer this.  Unfortunately as someone else responded to your question I agree that most likely and sadly you can't do much to help him if he doesn't want help.  As we say in AA, AA is not for those who need it but for those who want it.  As for his family you might try honestly, humbly, and lovingly letting his family know how concerned you are and that you don't know what to do.  I don't know if you have any spiritual beliefs but you might try praying for the man, I will.  James S. -Alcoholic Anonymous


Do we have multicellular prokaryotes? If not, why didn't they evolve?

There are a number of examples in which prokaryotic organisms coalesce into multicellular structures. One of those examples are in a group of bacteria called myxobacteria. In this case, myxobacteria form what's called fruiting bodies as part of their life cycle (see the link below for a picture of a fruiting body).

Is there a connection between the amount of hours you sleep and the weight gain/loss? i.e. if you sleep a lot you will have a tendency to gain weight since little energy is exerted or lose weight because you won't eat as much?!!

Yes there is, you are right to say "you sleep a lot you will have a tendency to gain weight since little energy is exerted ". Besides, sleeping too much will make you terribly tired, even more tired than before sleeping.


I think about asking this guy out and I get nervous and we are such good friends and I'm afraid of looosing that. What should I do?

friendship is great but wouldn't it be better if you had that friendship and a mate all in one? you have the best of both worlds when you start as friends. just take the time to think about it when he is not around. then if nothing else send him an email with everything you want to say. if you dont send it thats fine but putting things down allows you to think it through first. but honestly he probably likes you too but he might think he has been sidelined as a friend and wants to be around you so he has settled for a friend role.

have tenants almost 3mths behind and would like to file deliquent payments on their credit report.

A person is not able to place information on payment history on another person's credit report unless they are a business or corporation of some sort.  This is because to be able to report information on a credit report you must subscribe to the credit bureau to be able to do so, and the fee for subscription is costly.  If you are a landlord for a few houses then you are better off evicting the tenants and then placing their unpaid rent to a collection agency.  The collection agency would be able to place the information about the past due rent on the tenants credit report for you, plus attempt to get the money back to you for the unpaid rent.


My husband would watch this soap with me and be all into the story but denied that he enjoyed it.  He stated that he only watched it because I was using the tv and he had no other choice.

Most guys deny they enjoy soap operas because they refuse to acknowledge professional wrestling for the soap opera that it is! LOL


The idea of finding the "purpose" of life has sold a lot of books by Christian fundamentalists, but apart from their need to justify their life choices, why worry about the purpose of life?  If you had one, are you sure you would even want to know what it was?

I don't think life must have a purpose.\n\nI think that thinking beings generally want there to be a purpose, in order to justify their existence and actions, especially when their existence is difficult or threatened. But I don't believe that life in general requires a purpose.\n\nThat's not to say that life is unnecessary or nonvaluable. Just that I see no requirement that life have a purpose. I do want my own life to have a purpose--of course I do, and I seek meaning in what I do and how I act. But I don't think that there's a causal relationship between the existence of Life and the need for a Purpose behind that life.


but he's married, with three kids. I know most people who read this will think badly about me, but that's ok, I don't care. Every time I see him, my pulse races, my heart pounds out of control, and my body goes absolutely crazy! Each time we see each other, especially after it's been awhile, he gets this great big smile, comes up to me, and asks where I have been; I ask him the same. If we see each other from a distance, we always wave at each other, or yell out "hi!", or "where've you been?", or whatever. When we talk, even however briefly, he sort of hangs around, kinda almost like he doesn't want to leave. He hasn't made a move on me, or made any sexual remarks, at least not that I would interpret as (although I WISH he would). I think he is  Christian, but from what I've heard, he's cheated on his wife at least once in the past, I don't know how long ago it was. Lucky, how I really wish it was me he had cheated with. Could it be he might like me? I really want him! Help!

DANGER, WILL ROBINSON.\nDo not do it.  Look for an available (read unattached) man.  \n\nHe may cheat with you, and find you the most facinating creature on earth.  He may treat you like a Goddess and tell you that he can't live without you, that you are the love of his life. \n\nHe felt this way about his wife, once too.   He loved her so much he married her and had kids with her.  \n\nIf you do intice him to cheat, how can you ever have anything real in the future? Even if he does leave his wife and kids.  There can & will NEVER be trust between you because look how it started.  \nStay away.

like what's the stuff floating inside? is it floating in oil or vinegar? both?what causes it to float and then sink? help me out for a chemistry project?

Liquid motion lamps (which most people know as "lava lamps") have been around for decades. The theory behind a liquid motion lamp goes something like this:\n\nIn the lamp you have two liquids which are:\n\n    * Very close in density\n    * Insoluble in one another \n\nOil and water are insoluble in one another (that's where the expression "oil and water don't mix" comes from), but oil and water have very different densities (a volume of water weighs a lot more than the same volume of oil). They won't work, so you search to find two liquids that are very close in density and are insoluble. This site can help you in that search.\n\nNow you apply heat to the bottom of the mixture. In a liquid motion lamp, the heat usually comes from a light bulb. The heavier liquid absorbs the heat, and as it heats up, it expands. As it expands it becomes less dense. Because the liquids have very similar densities, the formerly heavier liquid is suddenly lighter than the other liquid, so it rises. As it rises, it cools, making it denser and therefore heavier, so it sinks.\n\nThis all happens in slow motion because heat absorption and dissipation are fairly slow processes, and the density changes we are discussing here are very slight.\n\nHow stuff works has a far longer explanation, see link.


the starlight blinks at night ... is it the air that does it?

The scientific name for the twinkling of stars is stellar scintillation (or astronomical scintillation). Stars twinkle when we see them from the Earth's surface because we are viewing them through thick layers of turbulent (moving) air in the Earth's atmosphere. \n\nStars (except for the Sun) appear as tiny dots in the sky; as their light travels through the many layers of the Earth's atmosphere, the light of the star is bent (refracted) many times and in random directions (light is bent when it hits a change in density - like a pocket of cold air or hot air). This random refraction results in the star winking out (it looks as though the star moves a bit, and our eye interprets this as twinkling). \n\nStars closer to the horizon appear to twinkle more than stars that are overhead - this is because the light of stars near the horizon has to travel through more air than the light of stars overhead and so is subject to more refraction. Also, planets do not usually twinkle, because they are so close to us; they appear big enough that the twinkling is not noticeable (except when the air is extremely turbulent). \n\nStars would not appear to twinkle if we viewed them from outer space (or from a planet/moon that didn't have an atmosphere).

It's important that it's HD. If possible, can youlist the name of software that helps? I don't know much about console programming.ALso, along with the software name, can you give me web sites that might help, and a number of the best programming languages.

What you need is the SDK (Software Development Kit ) for the particular console that you are developing for. Unfortunally these kits usually cost $10+ and even more unfortunally you can't get them. Most Console license holders (like Microsoft or Sony) will only lease a kit to you if you a big company with an active title in development and a published deal ready. It is almost impossible to get a kit if you are a single developer.\n\nI suggest making a PC game with DirectX, the directX SDK is free. It is a good place to get started and Microsoft's Xbox uses a very similar almost identical interface. So if you can swing a publisher deal and convince Microsoft to let use use a SDK you won't have much trouble getting your game to work on the XBox.\n\nWhen you game is ready License holder will put your game through a set of rigorious tests to see if it is stable and conforms to all the rules of the particular system, if that all works out they will allow you to release the game.\n\nAlmost every professional game with VERY few exceptions are written in C++.\n\nCompared to all this making the game work on a HD Televison is trival.


It does seem a little strange to have the Kosher laws thrown out the window so completely....

Well, IIRC, Jesus did throw out the kosher laws completely.\n\nHowever, many of our Easter traditions come from European pagan traditions, rather than Jewish practices. Even the name Easter comes from the germanic goddess Oestre.  (aka Astara, Ishtar or Isis)  \n\nAs for ham, Demeter, the goddess of spring is connected to pigs and pig sacrifices were common in her worship.  Practically speaking, pigs have the shortest gestation period of the large dosmeticated animals, which means you're more likely to have a half-grown pig ready for cooking when the time comes.

Velocity is a vector - this means that it has a direction. Speed is a scalar, i.e. just a number.\n\nTo illustrate, let's say I'm travelling in a spaceship to the moon. My speed is 50,000 mph. My velocity is 50,000 mph towards the moon.\n\nIf there is no direction given, it's not a velocity.
