I mean boicots for Gasoline prices to drop by not buying from Mobile or Exxon? \nOr Immigrants boicoting for a day to get recognition and legalization?\nWhat do you think should be done on both these issues?

This is just another urban legend floating around.\n\nBoycotting Exxon isn't going to work to bring down prices.  If everyone stopped buying from Exxon and used the other providers, then the other providers would run out of gas pretty quickly due to supply and demand chain effects.  What would happen is that they would buy their gas from Exxon and overall all prices would go up, not down.\n\nFull mythbuster at Snopes.\n\nhttp://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/gasout.asp\n\nTo lower gas prices, you have to lower demand, which includes things like carpooling, public transportation, alternative sources of energy, and better milage vehicles.

I would like to sell a handgun and see what firearms are available for sale by other individuals in Oregon

* The heat content of a chemical system is called the enthalpy (symbol: H)\n    * The enthalpy change (H) is the amount of heat released or absorbed when a chemical reaction occurs at constant pressure.\n    * H = H(products) - H(reactants)\n    * H is specified per mole of substance as in the balanced chemical equation for the reaction\n      The units are usually given as kJ mol-1 (kJ/mol) or sometimes as kcal mol-1 (kcal/mol)\n      1 calorie (1 cal) = 4.184 joules (4.184 J)\n    * Energy changes are measured under standard laboratory conditions\n      25oC (298K) & 101.3kPa (1 atmosphere) \n\nEnthalpy changes are measured in KJ per mole, but experiments on measuring enthalpy changes always measure a temperature change. The temperature change is then converted to enthalpy change using the following formula:\n\nDH    =    m x c x DT\n\nm = mass in grams\n\nc = specific heat capacity in Joules/Kelvin/gram\n\nDT = change in temperature in degree Kelvin\n\nThe experiment  is done by simple calorimeter experiments which involve carrying out the reaction in a heat resistant vessel and measuring the change in temperature. \n\nThis is also a common practical assessment, and you should be aware of the sources of error in your measurements such as heat loss to surroundings, incorrect readings, inaccurate thermometers etc.

and the formulas of torque wrench calculation.

Torque wrench\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nA torque wrench is a wrench used to precisely set the torque of a fastening such as a nut or bolt. It is usually in the form of a socket wrench with special internal mechanisms. A torque wrench is used where the tightness of screws and bolts is crucial. It allows the operator to measure the torque applied to the bolt so it can be matched to the specifications. This permits proper tension and loading of all parts. A torque wrench indirectly measures bolt tension. The technique suffers from inaccuracy due to inconsistent friction between the fastener and its mating hole. Measuring bolt tension (bolt stretch) is more accurate but most often torque is the only means of measurement possible.\n\nBeam type\n \nBeam type torque wrench. The indicator bar remains straight while the main shaft bends proportionally to the pressure applied at the handle.The simplest form of torque wrench consists of a long lever arm between the handle and the wrench head, made of a material which will bend elastically a little under the applied torque. A second smaller bar carrying an indicator is connected back from the head in parallel to the lever arm. This second arm is under no strain at all, and remains straight. A calibrated scale is fitted to the handle, and the bending of the main lever causes the scale to move under the indicator. When the desired indicated torque is reached, the operator stops applying force. This type of wrench is simple but not very precise.\n\n \nClose up of beam type torque wrench showing detail of the torque display scale. This shows a torque of about 160 inch pounds or 17 newton meters.\n\n\nClick type\n \nClick-type torque wrench, adjusted by turning the knurled handleA more sophisticated method of presetting torque is using a calibrated clutch mechanism. At the point where the desired torque is reached, the clutch slips, preventing overtightening. The most common form uses a ball detent and spring, with the spring preloaded by an adjustable screw thread, calibrated in torque units. The ball detent transmits force until the preset torque is reached, at which point the force exerted by the spring is overcome and the ball "clicks" out of its socket. The advantage of this design is greater precision and a positive action at the set point. A number of variations of this design exist for different applications and different torque ranges.\n\nCalculation for torque wrench spanners and adapters with a dial wrench\n\nWhen using extension adapters and spanners, the torque applied to the nut is greater than that shown on the torque wrench dial. To calculate the increase, use the following formula:\n \nTT = DR (L+E)\n     -------\n        L   \n\nTT = True Torque\nDR = Dial Reading\nE = Extension Length\nL = Effective Wrench Length

Im american and live in italy with my italian wife . She says can take all that I own if I divorce her . So now Im wondering if it will be worth a divorce . Im scared Im 56 and built up a life here in Italy and the house is iin her name . Do I need an international lawyer?

Oddly enough, I'm familier with similar property cases like yours in Italy.\n\nIf you have properties in her name, you have a problem other then the terms of an italian anullment to your american vows, possibly being the problem. Regardless of how your devorce works out, those properties are hers from the start. Thats Italian Land Law.\n\nYour main problem seems to be a big one and you will definatly not just need an internationaly lawyer, but a very good one, defntly not an Italian one as they can be very fuched up, trust me. Your best bet is looking either for an American one or a British one.\n\nBut the best thing would be not to devorce her, you're not young anymore. You've obviously built up a lot with her besides your properties and it would be = hard to part with that like with your property.\n\nI may be of further help...\n\nchavatshimshon yahoo>co>uk

How can you contact wholesale companies.  I can't find any info on the net except for the big names like capezio and they are not interested in small city shops.

At the Library there should be a section with telephone books.  Get the "Business to Business" Book.  Some are white and some are yellow. Look under Dancewear, Gymnastics, Exercise Wholesalers.  Also try Theatre, Tap, Jazz, Etc.  You can't check out the books, buy you can xerox the pages.  Be prepared for COD for you first few months, and please know that the minimum orders are sometimes more than some people can afford.  Good Luck.


I need a job/career. Does anyone have any tis. Any good sites besides craigslist, monster, careerbuider?

Well, every place sucks to work at pretty much... I work for General Electric. They pay very well, have great benefits, lots of vacation, paid sick days, paid personal business days, pension, etc. Plus, they have their fingers in EVERYTHING... many positions for all sorts of careers and skill levels. They have their own jobseekers site listed in the sources.


Then they wouldn't have to break any laws to live well. Over throw the government there (that's your main problem) and fix it. It will take some BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS but it will be worth it. That's how we made this country what it is. So go make your own, instead of trying to make our country give you the pleasures without the earning. Stand up in your own country. Or come here the right way, just like the LAW says to. Then no one will care if you are here.

80% of the illegals that are coming across the border are not even Mexicans. They are from Guatamala and El Salvador , Panama, China and so on. Its not the Mexicans that are crossing over the border except for maybe a few. Now 1000's cross everyday with a Visa to go shopping in San Diego and in doing so are paying mega cash into state tax which who is benifiting from? They arent because they are go back home.  Yeah the government in Mexico sucks but things are changing slowly and thats because who ever tries to change things to fast and are noticed those people disappear. A few years back Colossio who was running for President came to Tijuana to speak and since he was wanting to change things for the people he was shot. In your question you said " it will take some Blood , sweat and tears . and thats how we made this country what it is.  Now I ask you Whos blood sweat and tears  made this country? Yours?  Whos blood and sweat do you think made The US?  AMericans?   American is not a race, it is a name given to a country in which every race of the world came together to build the country.


Arnold wrote during the Victorian period (1837–1901), and is sometimes called the third great Victorian poet, behind Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson and Robert Browning. Arnold himself was keenly aware of his place in poetry, and in an 1869 letter to his mother, discussed the merits of his work and his two more famous peers: "My poems represent, on the whole, the main movement of mind of the last quarter of a century, and thus they will probably have their day as people become conscious to themselves of what that movement of mind is, and interested in the literary productions which reflect it. It might be fairly urged that I have less poetic sentiment than Tennyson, and less intellectual vigour and abundance than Browning. Yet because I have more perhaps of a fusion of the two than either of them, and have more regularly applied that fusion to the main line of modern development, I am likely enough to have my turn, as they have had theirs."\n\nSome consider Arnold to be the bridge between Romanticism and Modernism. His use of symbolic landscapes was typical of the Romantic era, while his negative opinions towards everything were typical of the Modern era. The rationalistic tendency of certain of his writings gave offence to many readers, and the sufficiency of his equipment in scholarship for dealing with some of the subjects which he handled was called in question; but he undoubtedly exercised a stimulating influence on his time; his writings are characterised by the finest culture, high purpose, sincerity, and a style of great distinction, and much of his poetry has an exquisite and subtle beauty, though here also it has been doubted whether high culture and wide knowledge of poetry did not sometimes take the place of true poetic fire. Henry James wrote that Matthew Arnold's poetry will appeal to those who "like their pleasures rare" and who like to hear the poet "taking breath."


Depends on the job, if you are applying for a job that gives "company credit cards" to their employees for expenses. I promise you they will run it, and your hiring will be determined whethere you have good enough credit. \n\nMost check it though to get a "better" look at who the applicant is as a person. We CC check people here, to see how responsible they are in their personal life. Now, having said that, Yes, there is a difference between a late pay here and there, and someone who is "chronic" bad pay.\n\nIts just another way someone can guage who/what you are all about. Lets face it, interviews all sound the same. People give the same "dont want to give a bad answer" response.

I an doing a report on The chronicles of narnia the movie for conframation and I need help. I am required to answer these questions. What biblical themes or messages about god, sin, redemption, devil, etc. are portrayed in the movie? Does it agree with or contradict with the bible? Just help me out a little I do not have the best memory. Thanks

Yes, it coincides with the Bible.\n\nIt shows that god send himself in human form (Jesus, Asland) to die for the sinner (us, or Edmond.) and redeemed him (duh.) it coincides almost perfectly with the Calvinistic view.\n\nThe devil, or white witch, can pretend to be your friend while s/he stabs you in the back in reality. And s/he doesn't show his/her true point of view till it's too late.\n\nAslan says in the movie that he died, not because he had to, but to make a point. we (or Edmond) didn't force him to die, but he did it of his own will. this contradicts some Christians, but agrees with a lot of others.\n\nsin, of course, is bad. In the ,movie, you have to die for betrayal. In real life, you have to die for your sins. Asland/Jesus died to save you/Edmond from sin.\n\nI hope this answers. Unless you are a second grader, I don't think you'll be able to copy/paste this due to its unofficial style, so don't plagiarize. But I hope I helped you out here, kid.


I am a usual A+ student, and this time I got a high B in science. Does anybody know how I could bring my grade up to an A? I know extra credit, thank you very much!

If you got a B+, then all you should need to get is an A- to get in the 'A' family - the upward trend should show you improved over the term. Other than doing extra credit (as you noted), I'd cover those things that gave you trouble and find a different way to learn them - maybe use some flash cards for vocabulary terms. But strive for your "usual" A+ this term to give yourself a buffer.\n\nBut you didn't provide any other specifics - what specific branch of science are you learning? Are you comfortable in the lab? If you're taking chemistry, you will want to be adept at algebra for problem solving and balancing chemical equations. If you're taking physics, you'll need to know some geometry and trigonometry (as well as some algebra) for force and trajectory problems. But if you're still calling it by the generic name "science," then that tells me you're probably in junior high - at least you have some fair warning for high school science classes.\n\nOverall, though, don't get overly concerned about your grades - it's more important to *learn* something that you can take out of these classes. If you get an occasional B or B+ but learn a lot, you're going to have an easier time in college than those who work just to get A's.


i know this guy.  he is in some of my classes, and sometimes (out of the corner of my eye) i can see him staring at me.  he's friends with just about everyone, but he still talks to me and everything.  How do i read deeper into that?

tonight, lock gazes with the one you love, look very carefully in those eyes, and without blinking, tell them why you love them the way you do,and how important they are in your life.do it tonight, don't put it off. love them NOW as if this were the last time you'll ever see them never know what tomorrow brings...........

That's rather nice, for someone whose name is 'Grumpy'!!!


Instead of actually spelling the words, people slaughter the English language, and even when they don't abbreviate the words, they mispell them.  \n\nExamples:  "How r u doin" (too hard to add 5 letters I guess) "dem grlz are hotz" "fo sho I up wit dat".  I know some are rapper/ganster wannabe's, but regular people do it to...and it seems to be really bad with people under 16.  Wish I had more examples, "but dis stuf are real git meh nerv" (see what I'm saying?)\n\nSeriously, look at the questions on here and tell me that our country isn't getting dumber each generation.  Hell I'm only 28, but this nonsense has got to stop, or these kiddies won't even pass 3rd grade English.

I think it's mostly done by people who want to show that they are 'hip' and with the trend of young people on the internet. Either that, or they are concious of the fact they really can't spell, and by doing it on purpose they mask that fact.

what is it that rationale behind the carring out of research work

OK, let's say someone was looking for an answer to something that he/she wanted to know about, let's just say they wanted to know about what research was.  They would go somehow and seek an answer for their desired subject matter and then after they had done as much research as they wanted or could do then they would possibly come up with an answer . If you wanted the research to be rationale then it would have to include something that is an essential or necessary part of a system or object (system or object being in this example: research).

I made a skate team. I need a good, catchy, original name that i can make a logo or a design relating to the name. Please, were all straight, no more gay names. 10 points to best answer!!!!!!


i was playing a game and the strategy guide said "use the taser or pepper spray on the woman if she refuses to cooperate" and i got to thinking "the lady is over 60 years old. they could probably end up killin her." so now basically im wondering if a stungun was used on someone with a pacemaker or some sort of heart condition would there be a risk of killing them?

A Taser will not disrupt a pacemaker.  The amps are too low to affect the internal systems of the body.  Tasers are no more harmful to the body than an really bad static shock.  Pacemakers are designed to be protected from such electrical impulses.


has anyone got any idea how all the different races of people get her ,since they say we all derived from adam & eve how comes we have black, white, caucasian, chineese and all that. i mean men like to say we women are from their rib and they say black people came from monkeys so where does the other people come from .Did they fall from the sky?

I rather like the fall from the sky theory you presented.  And, interestingly enough, some Indigenous American folklore says we DID indeed come from the sky.\n\nAs far as the Bible goes, it dissuades one from the monkey/black hypocrisy.  No where does it say man of any color came from another animal.  So, those wonderfully hateful racist who both claim Christianity and that black man came from an ape are not only sadly misinformed, they are defiling their own religion. \n\nIn the Bible it says Adam was created from dust (Genesis 2:7), so how about if it was a variety of colors of earth? [see link 2] (Okay, I get into a lot of trouble with theologians when I say that, but I'm not kidding! LOL)\n\nActually, Biblically, it's explained in Genesis 10.  God divided the earth amongst Noah's sons.  They were different colors because either Adam had all colors of soil in his make-up or ----- let us assume at this time it was from environmental causes until some greater Biblical scholar corrects me with the proper verses to indicate written proof.


I need ten questions to conduct the interview.\nThanks

How long did it take for you to get diagnosed after experiencing symptoms?\n\nHow has this diagnosis changed your life?\n\nAre you modifying your behaivior (diet/physical activity) to help keep it under control?


Or were the parent species different? If not, how can you explain the uniform differences of skin tone, hair colour, physiognomy and mental affinities of the 3 major race-types?

Yes, they evolved from the same species. In fact, every species evolved from the same life form. The physical difference between various races are caused by evolution and adaptation. Throughout the ages, there are genetic mutations in all species. If the genetic mutation is unfavourable, the individual dies. If it, on the other hand, benefits the individual, then the individual survives. Hence, the mutation gradually becomes a standard feature of the species. \n\nNow, due to the size of the Earth, it is only understandable that people in different parts of the world would undergo different mutations. The clearest example is the difference in skin colour between ethnic Africans and ethnic Europeans. Africans development a greater amount of pigment, as it protected them from the sun. The species evolved. Europeans, on the other hand, were in no need for this pigment as the climate was different in Europe. Thus, they evolved to have less pigment than Africans, for instance. This principle then explains any physical differences that one might find when looking at the human race. \n\nNow, out of curiosity, what are these mental affinities you speak of?


Chemically and its importance in food industry

Medical uses for honey\n\nFor around 2000 years, Honey has been used to treat a variety of ailments through topical application, though it was not until modern times that the cause of infection was understood. Now, modern research into the use of honey as an antimicrobial agent has revealed potential treating a variety of ailments. Antibacterial properties of honey are the result of the Osmotic effect, Hydrogen Peroxide effect, and high acidity.\n\nOsmotic effect\n\nHoney is primarily a saturated sugar mixture of approximately 84% fructose and glucose. At this high concentration, very few extra water molecules remain available to microorganisms and so presents a very undesirable environment for their growth.\n\n\nHydrogen peroxide\n\nHydrogen peroxide in honey is activated by dilution. However, unlike medical hydrogen peroxide, commonly 3% by volume, it is present in a concentration of only 1 mmol/l in honey. Iron in honey oxidize the oxygen free radicals released by the hydrogen peroxide.\n\n    glucose + H2O+ O2 → gluconic acid + H2O2\n\nWhen used topically as, for example a wound dressing, hydrogen peroxide is produced by dilution with body fluids. As a result, hydrogen peroxide is released slowly and acts as an antiseptic. Unlike 3% medical hydrogen peroxide, this slow release does not cause damage to surrounding tissue.\n\n\nAcidity\n\nThe pH of honey is commonly between 3.2 and 4.5 [4]. This relatively acidic pH level prevents the growth of many bacteria responsible for infection.\n\nMedical applications\n\nThe most common use of honey as a microbial agent is as a dressing for wounds, burns and skin ulcers. This application has a long history in traditional medicine. Additionally, the use of honey reduces odors, reduces swelling, and reduces scarring; it also prevents the dressing from sticking to the healing wound. \n\nSome claim that one drop of honey directly on the eye can treat mild forms of conjunctivitis.\n\nHoney that is local to where one lives can also help with seasonal pollen allergies because it contains the same pollen that is producing the allergy--consumed in this way it can act as an immune booster.\nIt's most effective to eat about a teaspoonful a day for a few months leading up to allergy season.\n\nResearch has shown that the folk remedy of using honey to treat wounds is founded in science; it acts as an antiseptic/antibacterial agent.

The Bible clear states that homosexuality is wrong in Romans chapter 1.  I am not bashing anyone I an just looking for an answer.  I believe just as the bible says that homosexuality is wrong.  I do not hate these people, they need Jesus just like I do.  I only hate the sin.

I guess if I were a gay Christian I'd think that since God made me the way I am, that "He" would love and accept me.


I hear the word "disingenuous" thrown around a lot these days. I've even used it myself a few times. It always puts the person you are arguing with on the defensive.

Would you vote for Condy Rice in 2008? To answer this post, you have to also state your party affiliation. \n\nMy opinion: I'm a Republican, and I would vote for her.

Speaking from your point of view, it would be an interesting demographic.  She would certainly capture the great majority of the conservative vote.  Those who were sexist or racist (who can be found in either political party) would probably just not vote, instead of voting liberal.  I would imagine she would also capture some of the vote from people who would like to see a woman be President, and a portion of people who would like to see a racial minority as president.  In addition, she is very well spoken, was a child prodigy, and comes from Colorado, so would be a darling of the West.  I imagine, because of the demographics, she would be the favorite to win.  A very interesting scenerio would be Condy Rice vs. Hillary Clinton-in that case, the fact that both candidates were women would take that advantage (or disadvantage, depending on how deeply entrenched sexism is) away.  Then it would be a straight-up contest against two very powerful, brilliant, and politically astute women, from opposite ends of the spectrum.  As it is, there is essentially a 50/50 split between conservatives and liberals, so it would come down to which could appeal to the middle-of-the-road voter better.  I think Clinton is likely closer to center than Rice is, but Rice would have a fairly large bloc of minority voters on her side- I bet it would be a fascinating campaign!


Have any of you guys seen The Exorcism of Emily Rose?\n\nAnyway, it's about an innocent young woman who was possessed by demons, and suffered greatly.\n\nI kinda put myself in her condition during that movie, and now I feel traumatized. I'm scared of being alone now ever since I saw the movie. I'm afraid it might develop into a phobia. And I am already 14.  How can I recover?\n\nQuote from the movie:\n" 'Watch out. You're under an demonic attack.'\n'Father, you don't need to worry about me. I don't believe in them.'\n'You don't have to. Demons exist whether you believe in them or not.' "

I saw it, it was pretty freaky.  I like to stick to comedies, mysteries, and biographies.  \n\nTry not to think of it, the gross parts.  When I was younger I had nightmares if I watched stuff like Halloween, Friday the 13th, Carrie, and anything like that.  Try not to watch it, and if you do watch it, know that it's just a movie, it's not true and it's not going to happen.  \n\nDemons don't exist, and about that quote, so what if they did exist and you believe or don't believe in them, they can't hurt you if are a good person.  Don't worry about stuff like that.  If it bothers you, talk to someone about it, an adult.


I just read a question about a guy having a 12 incher, and someone else joked about thier 16 inches....  I'm sorry but, as a woman, there is a such thing as a penis too big. Someone brags about a 9 inch one and I'm thinking ouch! So manybe someone can give me some insight.

The penis is usually seen as the ultimate symbol of being manly - the larger it is, the more of a real man you must be. Conversely, if you're below average below the waist, you may as well just start wearing a dress and calling yourself Sally.\n\nIt's a psychological thing - the kind of people who worry that they're not as manly as the rest of their social group probably have friends who are thinking along the same lines. Because society today isn't quite at the stage where everyone can flop it out onto the table, it's a safe bet that noone's going to call your bluff and demand proof - one of those lies that everyone's aware of, but noone challenges.\n\nThere are two simple things to keep in mind, though:\nA /real/ man will be recognized as such without his genitalia ever being considered;\nand those who've got it don't need to brag about it. You don't need to prove to everyone that you're a real man, because you already /know/ you are.


Both,I like National Geographic because I learn something new every time I watch it,and Discovery Channel 'cause I love the show Myth Busters.


I have a number 0.51. I need to find out d(of 0.51)/dt. The actual equation is d(alpha)/dt. alpha is 0.51. Can I find out d(0.51)/dt. I am confused with derivatives

You are trying to find d/dt (0.51) ...\n\n0.51 -> alpha [ which inturn points "CONSTANT" ]\n\nDerivative of a constant is zero\n\nso d/dt (alpha) = 0


tell her you are sorry for whatever you did and if you still dont know what to do give her a chance to think about and give her a little time to think it over.


um some gurl hit me and i hit her in the stomach but she has her period and i didn't me to should she be mad at me forever???

Sure, why not?\n\nHey BOOTY if I was to call you, would that be a BOOTY call?


how do u know when ur really in love and if its forreal

Firstly you need to overcome your fears.  Try and find a common interest (if you know each other I am sure you have one) and talk about that.\n\nAnd as for knowing if it's really love... I don't think anyone ever does.  You need to just ride things out.  That's what I've always found.  Best way to learn.

Do you think that Bush will make the situation worse?

I will repeat what I said to someone else:\nIt's interesting to me that the threat to the world is Bush, when a KNOWN terrorist and KNOWN terrorism-supporting nation is preparing a nuclear weapon.  Get a reality check, why don't you?


Declarar como gift colocar o valor de U$ 49,00 dollares\n\ndeclarar com objeto usado.\n\nUm Super abraço, até breve

Hmm, it's out of context, so the first sentence can take a different meaning, and the second doesn't make much sense (I'm guessing it says "como" instead of "com") but here's what I understand:\n\nDeclare as a gift state the value of US$49.00.\n\ndeclare as a used object.\n\nBig hugs, see you soon.


What's the point of an islamic life?\n\nIslam says your goal is to serve god and go to heaven, basically. \n\nWell, ok. What is the purpose?\n\nIf human's have already been figured out and defined, what is the point?\n\nIf humans aren't able to attain a level of a god, then what is the point of going on? \n\nIf humans aren't allowed to openly challenge religious thought if they feel it's wrong, what is the point of going on?\n\nOther than serving a god.

I think the key is in Serving God, and what that means.  What does it mean to serve God?  I think it means to make the world a better place for all beings.  So for example, this is why part of the Islamic laws require that charity be given.  Hospitality is a value, and brotherhood, and so on.  So there is meaning in all that entails this service to God.  If God is served, then the world will be better for future generations, and all can aspire to their greatest potentialities, and they can reach their maximum abilities.  \n\nIn the service of God in Islam, one prays 5 times a day.  This fixes the mind upon God so that the goal is never lost sight of.  And in doing so, one constantly reminds themselves of what they ought to be doing throughout their days.  They should not be wasting time on frivolous things, but doing things to raise the level of good in the world.

NOT NEOPETS! NOT NEOPETS! I ALREADY DO IT, JUST GETTIN BORED. NOT NEOPETS! NOT NEOPETS! watch, some ignorant person will suggest Neopets...

There's www.nabiscoworld.com, www.msn.com (the games section), Yahoo Games, www.candystand.com, www.runescape.com, www.battleon.com, and www.gopets.com. (Gopets is nothing like neopets, so don't worry.) Another idea is to just search "games" on Google or something.

I'm a student on an extremely tight budget (cant afford to go buy the book...) looking to fit back into some of my favorite jeans. I've heard its all meat and cheese, but i know that cant be right....can someone explain it?

YES, it's the BEST.  But if you go with just meat and cheese, you are missing it.  In a few words, 20 g carbs a day, and THOSE are from cheese, eggs, veggies.  \n\nAtkins DOES work, read my other posts. But here is a GREAT page I found that puts the whole thing in a nutshell.

I want to make a few investments and open up a prime rate savings account. When in the month do banks pay out the interest and the returns on investments?

This depends onthe bank and savings acct you open.  Most compound interest daily but either pay it monthly or quarterly.  It sounds like a money market acct may be a good option for you, the interest rates are generally higher than traditional savings accts and do require a larger initial deposit.  READ THE TERMS AND FINE PRINT FIRST!!\n\nWhat you mean about returns on investments,I am not sure... banks do not handle and pay on brokerage accounts if that is what you are referring to..


I got a prescription from Online Pharmacy and they won't stop calling me.  I've called their 1-800 # and asked them to take me off their list.  I also have emailed them but their email is non-existant now.  When I tell them not to call, the telemarketer won't listen.  How can I stop them from calling me for good?  Any websites would be appreciated!

call this number: 1-888-382-1222. it is the national do not call list, it is active for 5 years. i called for both my home and cell phones, it takes 30 days after you call to be in affect. you can file charges on these people (companies) if they continue to call. good luck!!!

I can't find any J-pop in any stores in my area.  I would like to know of anywhere that I can find albums (IRL only) or downloads.

There are some sites that have mp3 rotation sites for j-pop and I think those are liscensed. They also encourage buying music from the originals. Yes, I think ebay is good but if you want to download, try getting limewire or a kazaa or whatever.\n\nThe mp3 rotation sites I know are:\n\nhttp://livejournal.com/community/audio_sex\nhttp://www.greatestjournal.com/~tinted_rouge\n\nHope I helped but try to buy originals instead of downloading!


Do you give the guy a high five? If no, why not and what would your reaction be? \n\nyes, this did happen to me!

Are you kidding me? That would make my day! It's just a cool bit of randomness. I'd give the high five, and be in a better mood because of it.


Ok, this boy at my school used to like me in the beginning of the year one of my friends told me that he did and she used to go out with him a few months ago I trust her with this information now a few months later she has told me again that he likes me... this morning I was early for school and he was to...I walked behind him and he held the door out for me and smiled at me it was the most cutest smile I ever seen i don't know if was a "I like you" smile or a "friendly" smile So I was wondering should I ask if he likes me , ask my friend to ask him, or just wait?


Having enormous amounts of technical skill or the ability to write a catchy tune that really gets under you skin?  \n\nTwo bands that I love are polar opposites: \nGreen Day and Dream Theater.  \n\nGreen Day's music is simple enough that 12-year olds just learning guitar can play it, but it's catchy and enjoyable to listen to.\n\nDream Theater is a phenomenally talented and complex band whose songs are full of time changes and intricate use of advanced music theory, but that same complexity makes it hard to hum one of their tunes and as a result you don't hear Dream Theater on the radio or MTV.\n\nObviously the ability to adhere to K.I.S.S. (keep it simple, stupid) is more desireable to sell records and become famous, but what do YOU think is a more admirable trait?

I prefer talent than catchy tunes. So I'll have to agree with you on Dream Theater. Magnificant band. If you like them, you might also want to check out a side-project they've got called Liquid Tension Experiment, which is an all instumental project they're doing. VERY great music. They've only put out two albums, though, and I think they might be done with it. Not sure.\n\nWhether or not a song sells isn't what matters in music. What matters is the impact the song has on you. Green Day has never had any real impact on me. Sure, I can remember the tune, but that's because it's so childishly simple. Complex bands, like Dream Theater, make better music (in my opinion) because of the fact that the music changes as it goes. It's not the same, boring, drawn-out crap that other groups force-feed us. It's raw, unfiltered talent, and that's what makes it better.


my bf is a grl magnet, even my best friend likes him. i'm pretty popular and most the grls i know like him. he says he loves me but how do i no he really does and isnt jst tryin 2 get w/ some other grl??

ask him why he loves or what he loves about you... or say "I want a divorce", "I'm seeing someone else", or (my fav. since my "abduction") "I screwed a chicked", if he has a "sudden" and radical action... yeah he, more than likely, love you.

Liberals do not want to stop fighting terrorism. They just feel that the "war on terrorism" has been perverted, and become a "war on everyone that pi$$es us off". Think about bin Laden for a minute. The neo-cons like to bring up 9/11 in every single speech they make, but what about bin Laden? He is responsible for 9/11. Where is he? Bush has gone from his primary objective being to bring bin Laden to justice to not thinking about him much. \n\nbin Laden is a terrorist who attacked America. Saddam is a terrorist who attacked his own people. Where should the majority of our troops be, defending America or defending Iraq?\n\nI support our troops 100%. It's the idiots in the government, most of whom have never fought in a war, that I don't support.\n\nBoth Liberals and Conservatives love America, but I say that if you love something or someone, then you are particularly concerned when that something or someone turns out to be broken or sick. When your child has a fever, you don't waste time bragging to everyone that he's an honor student, you take him to the doctor. And you don't accuse the doctor of hating your child when he points out that he has an infection. You thank the doctor, you get the prescription antibiotics, and you work hard to heal your child.\n\nBoth Liberals and Conservatives love America, but Conservatives seem to love America in a "my country can do no wrong" way. Conservatives act like the battered spouse in an abusive relationship. No matter how many times he comes home and beats her, he's still a good man.\n\nLiberals see America in a "let's make it better" way, like the sick child I mentioned earlier. Unfortunately, lately there have been a lot of liberals saying "America is sick" and very few saying "this is how we cure it".\n\nSorry, I strayed from the question.

Yesterday, ooh what a wonderful day. Spent the entire day at home with my wife. Never even drove off of the property, the furtherest I got away from the house was the walk to the mailbox (no bills HURRAH). Spent the entire day working in beds; tilling, furrowing, sowing seeds.

how do i remove the pop up blocker in google

Try these two and see if either does the trick:\n\n1) Look and see if there is an Options Icon on any of the toolbars you do see\n2)From the Tools menu on your browser (whatever you use) see if you can see Pop-up Blocker\n\nYou'll have to investigate a bit from either as I don't know what else you have on your machine.


We as Americans need to stop discriminating against one another for any reason.  It can be because the way a person looks, race, gender, or character in that matter.

I have no idea why America has bigotry. People are insecure with themselves and sometimes they put others down to make themselves feel better. That could be a possible reason. Also, people have different opions and portray them differently. Bigotry may just be some peoples way of portraying their opionons.


What does China want from US? Aren't we importing more than export in the excess of close to quarter trillion?

He's trying to 'mend the fence' so to speak.  Sino-American relations are a bit tense right now over the trade deficit and their currency policies, so I think this is China's way of sending a good-will tour to the US.


the products we use would be at a higher price!!

We'd have a much better economy, and less crime! 30% of the nation's prisons are illegal aliens! And they're costing us a LOT more than they're saving us. They say "We're humans, not criminals," but HELLO? ILLEGAL alien! They're changing the national anthem, for crying out loud!

Ever since I was young Ive been realistic in expecting to get pregnant by a man that doesnt care about me and raise a child on my own. This is VERY unfair to the child, but chances are it might happen. Am I wrong for expecting this or just ready?

Absolutely nothing is wrong with that, but I would say that before you choose to have a child, you should find the right man to stand with you though it all. I had a single mother, but my father passed away when I was six, there is nothing wrong with being a single mother, dont think there is.  I have been called many great things, and have achieved a citizenship award, I think I didn't turn out to badly.


Passion\nThere's something in my heart, that I'm burning to say,\nLoving you ain't easy coz, my pride gets in the way. \nWords are like butter rolling off my lips, \nCut like a knife and now I'm sinking battaleships...\n\nGive me a reason to take you back,\nGive me a reason so share.\nGive me a reason, coz love is in season,\nBut give me a reason to care.\n\nI like my freedom, yeah that's my style,\nMy manifesto lullabye.\nGive me a reason, coz love is in season,\nBut give me no reason to cry.\n\nOoh there's something in your kiss, that I can't let you go,\nMy heart says yes, my head says no.\nPassion's so cruel when so hard to resist,\nUnfasionably cool but it's you that I miss.\n\nGive me a reason to take you back,\nGive me a reason to try.\nGive me a reason, coz love is in season,\nBut give me no reason, my passion's in season.\nBut give me no reason to cry...\n\nThis song is by Geri Halliwell;even if you're not a fan don't you think these lyrics are beautiful?

I fell in love but he was married.  I have heard he has since split with his wife but we really don't talk much anymore and I don't want to complicate his life.  How do I get over him it has already been over 6 months since we saw each other?

Its his life. Let him know how you feel and let him make up his own mind about what he wants.


Im getting ims from different guys whom I dont know at allI have asked them how they get it and they say its a secret and laugh

well if you checked yahoo members in your profile when you signed up then they probably get it from there. they can go to yahoo member dierectory and find you through there. or if you have a 360 page then through there.


My husband and I had a huge fight. He involed his sister. I ended up telling her it was none of her busy, called her some nasty names and kicked her out of our house. SIL and I are no longer talking. I don't feel sorry for telling her to bud out, but she didn't invite herself into it either. Her loyality lies with him and she started on me when it was actually his fault. He conveniently left a lot out about the sitution when he involved her. So now almost a week has passed. I don't know if I should talk with her or just let it all go. What would you do?

Nobody should come into your home and disrespect you like that. This was none of her concern. She owes you an apology. You owe her nothing. Don't let no one push you around. She's got the problem.     \n               \n                                        Respect


You told you boss you are leaving for another job.  The new job is real good.  More money, posability for future promotion, nice intresting work.  The the boss comes and offors a real rediculus amount of money to stay.  Like thousands more than the other job.  Should I stay or should I go?

Well, the most important thing is to ask yourself, at which job would you be the happiest at?  I mean, regardless of money.  Which job would you "enjoy" more?  I know that this sounds strange, but you could work at one job that you could be paid a lot, but absolutely hate it.  But another, would be more enjoyable, but paid less.\n\nAnother factor to consider is if you have anyone to provide for.  Wife, children, family.  Sometimes sacrifices have to be made to make sure they live well.  \n\nThis is not an easy question to answer...and most likely not an easy one to ask either.  \n\nBut put it into consideration.  Which job would you be happiest at?  Which one would provide the best benefits for you(besides money)?\n\nWishing you luck.


I used to send money home via the Japanese Post Office for Y1000 for up to US$800.00 (mailing costs included).  Yesterday I informed myself (rather than being told by any Post staff) that from April 2006 this charge would rise 2.5 times to Y2500!!  Talk about socking it to the expat community!  So, what do you suggest?

Money (wire transfer) between banks... it costs depending on bank fees 10-50 US $$'s.


Will any body explain to this lay man in a simpleway by quoting a simple example?\nSorry for inconvenience which may cause to anybody taking his precious time to explain this layman, pls.

Derivatives are contracts to sell or buy (or trade) some underlying asset, at some future point in time.\n\nFor example, let’s say Microsoft stock is selling on the market today at a price of $100 per share.  You and I enter into a contract in which I agree to buy 10 shares of Microsoft from you in two weeks.  We further agree that the price of that sale will be $100, no matter what the market price happens to be on that day.  Two weeks go by, and on the appointed day I transfer $1,000 dollars to you, in fulfillment of the contract, and you transfer 10 shares of Microsoft to me.\n\nIf the market price on that day is still $100 per share, then neither of us has profited or lost from the transaction.  But if the price has risen, say to $105 per share, I have come out ahead, because I have purchased shares worth $1,050 for a price of only $1,000.  I can turn around and immediately sell my shares on the market, thereby making a profit of $50 from our contract.  You, on the other hand, have suffered a $50 loss by selling your shares for $1,000 when they are really worth $1,050.\n\nHowever, if the price had dropped, say to $95 per share, I would still obligated to pay $1,000 for 10 shares.  Under this scenario, I would be buying shares that are only worth $950; therefore, I would take a $50 loss, and you would come out $50 ahead.\n\nAs you can see, derivatives contracts are essentially a form of gambling.  In the above example, I am betting that the price of Microsoft will rise over the intervening two weeks, and you are betting that it will fall.\n\nDerivatives are useful, primarily in hedging risk.  For example, say I am a farmer of green beans, and historically, green beans sell for about $10 a bushel, but this price varies widely depending on growing conditions in any particular year.  I might enter into a contract with a speculator to sell all my crop at a price of $9 per bushel.  In doing so, I guard against the possibility of a steep drop in the price that would wipe me out.  On the other side, the buyer accepts the risk of a drop below $9 per bushel, but will come out ahead if the price is greater than that, because he will turn around and sell my green beans at that greater price.


I just want to know what it means to accept or decline? I don't want to necessarily cash out, and I have no clue what is meant by "decline" and why it's even there as a choice?

Restricted stock typically just means that the stock you get has a vesting period, which is the length of time that you have to stay at the company before you actually receive the stock.\n\nI don't know what type of vesting schedule that your company has.  You'll have to ask them.  But if you leave the company before some/all of the stock vests, you don't get that portion.\n\nAre they offering you restricted stock or stock options as a choice?  Or are they offering you the stock instead of some of your salary?  Typically, companies will give more options (around 2x or 3x) than they would restricted shares because at the end of the vesting period, if the value of the stock is below the strike, the options are worth 0, while the restricted stock still keeps the same value as the stock price.\n\nYou have to find out the details.  If they're just giving you "free" stock with being with the company, you might as well take it.


I work in a vert hot kitchen without a break for 8.5 hours.( 1/2 hour break a day) I think there is a law about giving employees a break through out the day.

you may need to get in touch with the labor board and ask them what the laws for you state are. i was under the impression that no matter where you were employeed if you worked an 8 hour shift (no matter what time of the day or nite) you employer is supposed to give you 2 ten minute smoke breakes and 1 thirty minute lunch break. i may be wrong it may differ from state to state.

they are coming up 2100and more. what is the normal size i shoud be using for jpg and how do I reduce the size so you can still see what the photo is clearly

<100 kilobytes file size for jpg format.\nOpen the pic by double click it, on Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, then press "ctrl" and "E" for editing\nwhen Paint program open, go to image, then press "ctrl" and "E" again, for attributes of pic to adjust.\n2nd line of it show the size in bytes (1 kb = 1000 bytes), change the dimensions below varies this number\nSay if your pic is 800x600 pixels, you need to keep the width height ratio when you reduce the size, reduce it to 1/4 will get you 200x150pixel.\nclick ok and save it to finalize the size.


I have had a few episodes of increased HR highest has been 130 bpm. I have been sitting down in all incidents, no vigorous activity.

I am a convert to Hinduism.  I am of English/German descent, but I go to a Hindu Temple in the USA.  I am usually the only Westerner there, because it is such a traditional Temple.  I am welcomed there.\n\nBut I am wondering how I would fare in India.  Would I be suspect?  Would they let me in the Temples?  Or would they fear I was there to proselytize for Christianity or something?\n\nAre Westerners generally accepted or not as Hindus in India?  I know that I am not the only Westerner who has converted to Hinduism!

you are welcome.\n\nyou will not have problem in getting in temples in india. many westerner come and visit them. hindu or non hindu . many just visit them out of curiocity.\n\n  you will have no problem in entering or praying. though they may not  assume that you are hindu just because you enter a temple. foriegners are easily identified and most of them are non hindu people. many will think it is some christian tourist enjoying local tradition in a curious way. but it does not matter. nobody will bug you either for it. \n\ni know from personal experience that manali, varanasi and rishikesh has hundreds of foreigners every year. brindawan attracts them too. i am sure it is the case also in other such places. and they are admitted in the temples freely.\n\njust be carefull. do not try to go any place secluded. it will be better if you have some company and not alone. \n\n many forigners especially white people come india with not so religious purpose. often they come to get easy drugs.\ncriminals are always lerking for easy targets on the other hand. so look out that you do not to fall in bad company; indian or western.\n\n\nbut i think i should explain the word malechcha a bit. for others have given a bit wrong information regarding it:\n\nmalechcha word was used for mostlly for greek and muslim invaders. but basically for non indian invaders.\n\nit does not mean untouchable but dirty.\n\n but before muslims or those greeks jump in let me explain. hindus were neatness freaks. they would not enter the kitchen without taking a bath first. everytime they need to use a toilet they would get a proper bath. and so on... . brahman went on this neatness stupidity to such an extent it started to affect countries progress. india was the first country which started the surgery. india was the country that stopped it because this study needed study of dead bodies. you need to be educated properly and properly educated means brahman. those brahman who studied dead bodies were looked down by other (nutcases) brahmans as dirty and slwoly people in this field reduced entering this field blocking the progress in medical science. \n\n  more outside attacks led them to more clinging to their habits and maintaing them on a higher degree as a defence mechanism.\n\n  hindu have been attacked for thousands of years and almost continuously. greeks, shaka, yu chees, chinese, ... and  for more than 1200 years by muslims. continuous attacks led to deterioration of the country and its culture. they had nothing else to cling to for survival so they tried to retain as much as they could of their beliefs and habits. and turning stubbern. off course this was the time when bhakti of rama and krishna got popular again indtead of formless god. as an unseen god did not inspire much. but that is another story.\n\n i blame brahmans for cast system, and their stubbernness in not letting any one convert to hinduism for a long time. but it is also true that they got the most burn from islam and other attakers. they came in front as the saviours of old culture as it was. got hanged or put to death otherwise regularly. but maintained it somehow. the rigidness saved hinduism from being anhilited totally.\n\ni wrote all that off topic details to explain the concept of cleanliness in those peoples minds.\n\nnow the invaders hardly practiced all such habits. many came from colder/water scarce climates and really did not think that taking bath at least once daily is necessarry. they did not follow concept of hygene according to hindus in kitchen or otherwise. most of the the foreign migrants did not belonged to educated or cultured class of the country of their origin. that did not help in improving their image as savages. in most western countries people do not mind eating in a same plate. and other things which indians really did not find hygenic.\n\nso the term malechcha came up to refer them.\n\ni have been called malechcha by my mother sometimes as a kid for not taking

If the United States is not superior to other cultures, than what does the United States have to learn from cultures that allow more than one wife?

Polygamy is a very controversial issue when it comes to marriage and the fact is it is not for everyone it take a very selfless woman to share her relationship with another man but the fact remains many monogamous American men cheat on their woman hence our huge divorce rate . There is also the fact that we don not live to solely please one person we live to please our creator with the growing number of the women population versus the male population this is a valid solution for a man to support and care for these women and children also let me inform you this is not about sex or the man feeling like a king with so many women it is about his position as a man to protect his female counterpart as Allah has made him protectors and providers to us.  People in this society are very closed minded to this idea because they only focus on the sexual nature of the arragement if they take the time to learn the responsibility of taking on this very charitable task  they would admire it and not see it as a weird practice.


I have been already billed on my credit card for these services that I do not wish.  I know that my bank told me that I have been billed since atleast December.

First you have to contact the company and get a RMA or return merchandise authorization.  Then if the goods are returnable since the shippment was not refused they will give you return instructions.  Then tell them you want to close your account.  If there is no commitment you are done.


Ive heard this happing to people but it just seems so far out there.?


I have been guilty of it too.  But, people type "I've got this problem?"

Grammatically, and I used to teach it though not an expert myself, a question mark (?) should only follow a question asking something, not a statement or a rhetorical question. These two require a period. A rhetorical question is one that everyone may know the answer to, such as "Do birds fly."


even if you are ask Jesus into your life and be born again by the power of the Gospel (an actual real life event in your real life)  if you do this in a prayer sincerely God will answer you!

Nope. But I am 100% sure that they do exists!!!!!


do you want a Nazi type government where only those that conform to the same way that you think,feel,see,look,and speak belong.What the hell kind of nation is that.I do not want to live in a nation where everyone and everything is the same ALL THE TIME.We are a nation of diversity,a nation made by many nations.Is that what you want to change,to have no change at all?It is pathetic to me how afriad everyone is that this nation will start to belong to the immigrants.Do some research,immigrants still only make up a small portion of this country.

I Hear you, I believe that no matter what America belongs to everyone who is willing to live and work! Immigrants do not come to Live Free, we all come to live the American Dream which obiously has been torn and burned into pieces. Remember MLK said I HAVE A DREAM....


Theresa sells two sizes of outdoor doghouses:large and small.  The large size requires 12 board-feet of lumber and takes 3 hours to build.  The small size requires 8 board-feet of lumber and takes 1 hour to build.  Theresa can use 48 board-feet of lumber each day and plans to spend at most 9 hours pr day building dog houses.  Theresa sells her large dog house for $70 each and her small one for $30 each.  What numbers of each kind should she make per day in order to maximize her income from sales?

I think this is Game Theory in disguise. Clearly she makes more money from large kennels but consumes more time making them.\n\nIf she made all large ones, she would make 4 a day and make 280 dollars (but that takes 12 hours)\n\nIf she made all small ones she would make 6 a day and only make 180 dollars.\n\nShe could make 2 large and 3 small, use all the lumber, consume 9 hours and make 230 dollars (140 + 90)\n\nOr she could make 3 large, consume 9 hours, not use a quarter of the lumber and make 210 dollars\n\nOr she could use up the stored lumber after a few days as follows:\n\nwork 2 days, make 420 dollars, save 24 foot of lumber, and then use 72 foor of lumber making 9 small kennels on the 3rd day, consuming all the lumber, consuming 9 hours and making 270 dollars\n\nOr 690 dollars over the 3 days at an average of 230 dollars a day.\n\nWhich is the same outcome as 2 large and 3 small a day for 3 days. It would just give her more variety in her work, that's all.\n\nDepending on the price of labour she wpuld do better to employ someone else part-time (either one day in 3 or 3 hours a day) to make 3 large kennels from the lumber she doesn't use over 3 days.. And make entirely large kennels herself.\n\nThat way 4 large kennels a day are made, and 50 dollars a day more is made. The question is whether the labourer's wages would cost more than 50 dollars for 3 hours? If the answer is no, that is the best plan, and an even better plan would be to buy 72 foot of lumber a day, make 6 large kennels every day with 2 fulltime staff and make 420 dollars a day. She might have to invest in another saw and another hammer and another workbench, to offset against this business expansion plan.\n\nWe assume of course that there is an ever-increasing number of neighbourhood dogs in need of kennels, and that the neighbours are buying Dobermanns and Rottweilers, rather than chihuahas and Yorkshire Terriers.\n\nThe price of lumber is not being considered here as regards maximising her profit. Once it rises above 3.75 dollars a foot, she makes a loss on small kennels as they would cost 30 dollars in materials to make.\n\nAs 1 dollar a foot she makes 58 dollars per large kennel and 22 per small kennel (and makes more per hour on small kennels)\n\nAt 2 dollars a foot she makes 46 dollars per large kennel and 14 per small kennel. (and is making more per hour on large kennels)\n\nAs 3 dollar a foot she makes 34 dollars per large kennel and 6 per small kennel  (and would be mad to make small kennels at 6 dollars an hour rather than large ones at 11.33 dollars an hour).\n\nThis puts the whole question in a different perspective, Even if lumber were free, why would she spend 3 hours making 70 dollats when she could spend 1 hour making 30 dollars and 3 hours making 90 dollars?\n\nIf lumber is 1.50 dollars per foot she makes 52 dollars on a large kennel in 3 hours and 18 dollars on a small kennel in 1 hour. and small kennels are more profitable.\n\nAt 1.70 dollars per foot, she makes 49 dollars 60 cents on  large kennels and  16 dollars 40 cents per small kennel, and large kennels are slightly more profitable,\n\nSo in the original situation posed. she would be wiser, in terms of her profit rate per hour to build entirely small kennels, and just work a 6-hour day and make 30 dollats an hour, rather than make 23.33 dollars an hour on large kennels.\n\nOnce the two costs, of labour and lumber are both involved, we have more of a Game Theory situation to find the optimum strategy.

I just want to put my info out there, so if she does try to find me, it will be easy for her.

The only way she'll be able to do that is through the adoption agency.  Every time you move keep them updated, so when that day does come they'll have your correct info to give her.


I'm pretty sure that's what that means...it sounds like a seizure was registered on an ECG (aka EKG) report.  An ECG/EKG is a machine that records your heart activity...the ones you see in movies and on tv that beep and when a person dies a straigt line comes across the monitor.  An ECG/EKG report is the printed out version of what happened on the screen.

it deals with motion, as we all know any object tends to move on its own on slope, and also if we put some object say pencil at an angle it will move forward on its own. The weight can become the driving force ahead for that object.Is it possible to keep that situation for long enough so as to keep the object moving without any external force?\nWeight of the object itself provide that force at that particular angle.

Surely the pencil will move by itself when kept on a sloping ground. But initial work had to be done to keep it at the top of the slope. You had to keep it there so that it would move downwards or you had to do work to creat the slope. That energy gets converted to the motion of the pencil.


I am doing my master's course in marketing management and confused on the topic i should do my dessertation..

Shift your paradigm and think of how buyers purchase.  The role of the debit card as a replacement for cash, check, and charge.  How does the debit card better facilitate buying and the elimination of debt?  How does a debit card affect the buyers purchasing propensity?


I've had a couple of moles removed for testing because of a family history of skin cancer.  None of them were lasered. They were cut completely out down to the root--the doctor made a kind of cone-shaped incision and then put in lots of tiny invisible stitches. (Local anesthesia.)  The scar is red for a few months and then fades to almost nothing--you can see the scar in just the right light and angle but other than that I don't even need make-up to cover it.\nI had another one that had to be cauterized but it wasn't on my face--that made an ugly scar and 15 years later it's still white and puckered and shiny although not as prominent.\nDefinitely ask your surgeon about different options for removing the mole and what kinds of scars they will leave. It depends on your skin type too--my skin tends to scar easily and make those lumpy "keloid" scars so I have to be very careful about surgery and injury.

Wake on LAN setting refers to wake up events received through the 3-pin header cable. Wake on PME refers to wake up events received through the PCI bus.

Networking on the internet could mean one of two things: What I think you mean is how can you network equipment. Routers (an external piece of equipment) allow someone to network where different computers can share the same files+printer and also access to the internet with only one modem. The modem connects to either a cable or dsl line and then the modem to a router (on its internet or wan port) then other computers connect to the router either on the router directly with an ethernet chord or wirelessly if they have a wireless card. Hope this helps. The second way you can 'network' on the in internet is by by schmoozing with folks to meet friends in high places- :)


Banks have funds reserved to jointly invest in small and medium ascale biz on joint equity basis. What do I need to qualify for this service from the banks

It depends on the state you are in and the use of the funds.  Often, these resources are tied to SBA loans or some type of CCDC marketable tax credits.  Basically, you would still have to personally guarantee the loan...same as any collateralized bank loan.  Check with your local SBA officer.  They can help you.


With this previous 3 sum I had with my best friend was with my boyfriend at the time and my best friend. She and I are not best friends anymore and I have not had a 3 sum since. My boyfriend says that I am a whore and just dont care about him or his son. I have been with him for 1 year and known him for 9 years.The experience happened 4 years ago. He doesnt know who the other 2 people are and keeps demanding to know who it was. It is none of his buisness. I have changed my whole life for him. I think I liked it the way it was before. HELP!!!

Ok... Here's the deal...\n\nSounds to me like your man has a few issues. You, him nor anyone else in this world can control what happened in the past. People tend to experiment with many different things as they grow older and more mature. Rather they experiment with sex, drugs and alcohol, or whatever everyone experiments. That's part of growing up. Now, if he (your man) things that you're a whore because of something you've done in your past. Then get rid of his A$$! If he has a son he obviously has a past as well. He has double standards and you do not want to deal with that. Nothing you do will ever be good enough. Let the past stay in the past and strive to live your life for tomorrow. Let the past go! Sh*t Happens in life. It's about getting through it and moving forward. Good Luck!!

ok so i was on face book a thing for college students to chat on, and they put thier pictures and profiles on, well i was searching and i came across my boyfriend and his picture was of him with two girls kissing him what do i do

Try to gather as much information as you can such as the date of the picture then CONFRONT HIM.


to find the love of their life and then never answer a guy who is interested?

so a woman posts a profile (on the internet) and a guy responds to her profile because he is interested?\n\nWell, maybe what the women found from the guy who was interested in their profile, was not something that they were interested. \n\nI personally don't think that women posting a profile for a date is desperate because it appears that this world has turned into mostly internet.  And we all have a right to chose who we want to go out with.  We don't have to go out with the first guy that posts to the profile.  We have the right to choose, because we are the ones that need to be happy also.  Not just the guy.\n\nI met my significant other through the internet and he is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Don't you people think George Bush should be impeached, and real soon?


If Mao was alive to see china  today in some ways he would have mixed feelings. One thing Mao would be happy about how China has come along is how much it has modernized something Mao was trying to achieve. Recently China has become rapidly more modernized last year its GPD has grew ten percent and same with the last year (That is a huge considering Canada’s GDP only grew about 3 percent). China s becoming a very important player in the world economy fast.\nThe reason Mao would be displeased is the fact that China has become a different country than before his death. The main difference is now china is mostly a capitalist country. The government is still communist but they do not control the country like they do when Mao died. The only real difference I could find now between a Chinese government and ours is that we have free press and can elect our leaders.

Let me fix the grammar. I have no idea if the information is right or not or if you have to add more since I do not know the assignment:\n\nIf Mao was still alive today to see China, he would definately have some mixed feelings. Some of astonishment and happiness of its success, but others of much displeasure.\n\nWhile Mao was alive, his desire had always been to modernize China. Since China has actively modernized during the last year, Mao would be pleased to witness this achievement. Even more so, Mao would be thrilled to see that China's previous GPD of 3 percent a year grew approximately to 10 making China a very important player in the world economy.\n\nAlthough this sounds good, Mao may be displeased to see China's dramatic change to capitilism since he died. Although the government remains communist, they (PUT WHO THEY IS) do not control the country like they had in Mao's years. \n\nTherefore, Mao would be equally as pleased and displeased in China's dramatic changes. Although they had modernized to become an up and coming player in the world's economy, they have also turned to Mao's worst nightmare: capitalism.

Sunday, April 08, 2006\n Americans We Need Your Help\n\n\nDear Americans,\nMy grassroots campaign really needs the help from citizens. I have an excellent plan to finance college educations for people that cannot afford it. Presently Michigan is in trouble and I have another excellent plan that would take Michigan out of their economic problems into great job creation, but I really need your help to spread the\nword. Currently I am running against two wealthy candidates in the Democratic Primary for State Representative in Michigan's 68th District.If they win people will get more of the same i.e. everything for special interest groups, nothing for the middle class and poor. As I do not have the money for advertising I need you to advertise to your friends and family especially if your from Michigan. Please visit and tell them to visit my website at\nhttp://www.melissasuerobinson.homestead.com or donate.

You need to target big money contributors.  Forget about the small campaign contributions and get the big spenders who will donate the maximum amounts they can.  Go for businesses, PACs, and 527s.\n\nThose should be the main target of fundraising.  You will need to spend time on the individual voters, but do not expect them to fund your race, you will never make it.\n\nAlso, don't expect to win the first time.  And if you are facing an opponent who has a ton more money than you, don't be scared off.  People actually do vote for the person who will do the best job, but you do have to have enough money to inform them about yourself.


There is an 80% chance that Matt will attend a baseball game this weekend, and there is a 5.6% chance that Matt will attend the game and get his favorite player's autograph.  What is the probability that Matt will get his favorite player's autograph, given that he attends the game???

ok well. when youre doing ANDs (as in whats the chance of him going AND gettin his autograph), its just multiplying the probabilities.\n\nso 80% * x% = 5.6%\n\nso the x% would be 5.6% / 80% = 0.07 = 7%. \n\nso there is a 7% chance of him getting his favourite players autograph.\n\nhope this helped. let me know if you need more help


I have 3 medical bills on my credit report under the delinquent accounts. All three have been paid and are listed as paid. If they are paid, shouldn't they be removed from the report??

You need to study the file very carefully.  It may say paid, but if it also says "Charge-off," "Repossession," "late notations", or "Collection", (just to name a few), it's still a negative item on your report, and will effect your credit score.\n\nItems on your report will stay for 7 years from the date of first default.  \n\nThe bad part is that once the creditor has your money, they generally won't give you the time of day.  That's why it's recommended you get an agreement that they remove any negative information, in writing, before you pay off the debt.  \n\nNow that you have lost all leverage to do that, all you can do is politely ask them to remove the listing.  Not likely im most cases I have counseled.


Ideal Gas Law- trying to find the molar mass of butane.\n\nThe volume of butane which is 477mL\nThe temperature was 23 degree celsius\nThe pressure was 100.33\n\nMass of lighter before I released the butane was 13.11 g\nMass of lighter after I released the butane was 12.39 g\nTherefore the differences in these two mass was 0.72g.\n\nSomebody please help me... I don't seriously get this ideal gas law. I looked up in the internet and still don't get it. I can't even afford to have tutor. Please help me out.\n\n\nI would also very much appreciate if you give me some kind of lesson for the ideal gas law.It will be great. Thank you.

well, the ideal gas law is PV = mRT.  You need to write this expression for the butane that escaped the lighter, because we don't have enough information about the butane still in the lighter to solve the problem (we don't know the pressure).\n\nFirst you need to convert all your units into the units found in your gas constant, R. looking at the information given, you can see that you'll need the gas constant with units of PV/(mT).\n\nR for an individual gas is the universal gas constant, R_u, divided by the molar mass, which is what we're trying to find. \n\nR = R_u/M\nR_u = 8.314 kPa*m^3/(kmol*K)   [I chose this form because it most closely matched the form I know I need]\n\nThis means that really, the ideal gas law is:\n\nPV = m(R_u)T/M\n\nConversions:\nvolume:  1m^3* = 1000 L\n           477ml = 0.477L = 0.000477 m^3\n-note: you need to know the volume of butane that escaped the lighter.  To do this, find the density of butane (mass/volume) of the origional amount of butatane, and then divide the mass that escaped by the density. You're assuming that the density is constant, because we don't know the volume of butatane that escaped the lighter, or the pressure inside the lighter.  If you have to list sources of error, this would be one.\n\ndensity  = (0.01311 kg/0.000477m^3) = 27.28 kg/m^3\n\nV = 0.00072 kg/27.28 kg/m^3 = 2.6 x 10^-5 m^3\n              (see how the kg units cancel, leaving m^3)\n             \nTemperature:\n23 degrees Celsius  = 23 kelvin\n\nPressure:\n100.33 kPa  - this would be about atmospheric pressure\n\nMass:\n1kg = 1000g\n\n13.11g = 0.01311 kg\n12.39g = 0.01239 kg \n0.72g = 0.00072 kg\n\n\nPutting the numbers in pv  = mrT, with units :\n\n(100.33 kPa)(2.6x10^-5 m^3)=0.00072 kg*(8.314 kPa*m^3/(kmol*K))*(23 K)/M \n\nI would write all that down on a piece of paper, so you can see it more clearly.  The key to getting this kind of problem right is making sure that all your units cancel, leaving you with only the units you want- in this case, kg/kmol.\n\nSolving for M, and canceling all the units, I got:\n\n0.0189 kmol/kg = 1/M\n\nM = 52.9 kg/kmol\n\n\nAccording to my tables, the actual value for Butane is 58.124 kg/kmol, so this is pretty close!\n\n\nHope this helped.  Feel free to email me if you need more help.


In other words, if you shave, do your hair follicles multiply, or do more new hairs spring up?

No to both. \n\nThe biggest difference is that before shaving, your hair is thinner at the tips.  When it grows back out from shaving, it's the same thickness at the tip as it is near your skin which makes it seem like it grows back in more.  Your # of follicles don't change.\n\nIf that were true, balding men everywhere would be shaving away, wouldn't they!
