My daughters have US passports and EU passports. We are trying to weigh the pros and cons of going to college in each place. What do you suggest? We are one US parent and one European parent but we live in Asia, so either way, they will be far from us.

In the wider world, universities in the UK and in the US have absolutely the best general reputations. Many foreign students, for example, attend universities in the UK or US so that they have that sort of highly respected credential on their resume. \n\n(Shh...In fact, a friend of mine told me that, in her country, it doesn't matter WHAT university in the US you attended, so long as it was in the USA. She said that having that USA credential on your resume was a really big deal, and would open a lot of doors. That's not true of every country, but it was of hers.)\n\nBecause your daughters have US and EU passports, they will be able to work while they are studying, if they want to. This will help if they want to do an internship or a co-op while they are at university. \n\nWhat another poster said is true - in the UK, the programs are more perscribed, while in the US, you have a lot more freedom to mix-and-match classes. In the UK, undergraduate degree programs are usually three years long, while in the US, they take four years, usually because in the US you need to take classes above and beyond your "major" subject that students in the UK don't need to take. \n\nThere are some fine universities both in Europe and in the US. I think what the other poster said is right - your daughters should look in both places and find the university that best fits them - academically, socially, etc. - and then go there.


Nivea, and cocoa butter?\ndo either of those creams help make your skin more fair?

I am not sure where you may have heard that, but as far as I know and I am a nurse, the only way to get fairer skin is to stay out of the sun or go to drastic measures like Michael Jackson!


A tampon is a plug of cotton or other absorbent material inserted into a body cavity or wound to absorb fluid. The most common type in daily use (and the topic of remainder of this article) is a usually disposable plug that is designed to be inserted into a woman's vagina during her menstrual period to absorb the flow of blood.\n\nIn the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates tampons as medical devices.\n\nHistory:\nThere is evidence which suggests that women have been using tampons made of various materials for thousands of years. The tampon with an applicator and string was invented in 1929 and submitted for patent in 1931 by Dr. Earle Haas, an American from Denver, Colorado. Tampons based on Dr. Haas' design were first sold in the U.S. in 1936.\n\nDesign and packaging:\nTampons come in various sizes, which are related to their absorbency ratings and packaging.\n\nThe shape of all tampons is basically the same: cylindrical. Tampons sold in the United States are made of cotton, rayon, or a blend of the two. Tampons are sold individually wrapped to keep them clean, although they are not sterile. They have a string for ease of removal, and may be packaged inside an applicator to aid insertion.\n\nTampon applicators may be made of plastic or cardboard, and are similar in design to a syringe. The applicator consists of a bigger tube and a narrower tube. The bigger tube has a smooth surface and a round end for easier insertion. Some applicators have a star shape opening at the round end, others are open ended. The tampon itself rests inside the bigger tube, near the open end. The narrower tube is nested inside the other end of the bigger tube. The open end of the bigger tube is placed and held in the vagina, then the narrower tube is pushed into the bigger tube (typically using a finger) pushing the tampon through and into the vagina. If not inserted at a 45 degree angle it can cause discomfort and make removal difficult.\n\nTampons are also sold without applicators; these are simply unwrapped and pushed into the vagina with the fingers.\n\nIt is normally not necessary to remove a tampon before urinating or having a bowel movement.\n\nOther health concerns:\nSome of the chemicals used to bleach the tampons have been implicated in the formation of dioxin. Dioxins are potentially carcinogenic, which is harmful to the inside of the vagina, and is known to potentially cause endometriosis. It can also cause problems with the immune system and reproductive system for both women and men (can lower sperm count). Although a study by the FDA done in 1995 says there are not significant amounts of dioxin to pose a health risk (1 part in 3 trillion, which is comparable to a teaspoon in a lake fifteen feet deep and a mile square), or to be considered cancer-causing, repeated contact with carcinogenic substances of any kind is not recommended, no matter how small the amounts. The presence of dioxin in a product that enters a major body orifice, where there is more risk of absorption, caused a great deal of concern. However, manufacturers insist that bleaching is needed to produce effective products, despite tampons not using bleaching or chemical treatment being available.\n\nRayon due to its manufacturing process has higher residual levels of Dioxin. Although some say that 100% cotton tampons may be safer than using tampons with a cotton and rayon mix because of there being less dioxin, there is still a risk with all-cotton tampons. Cotton fields are exposed to more pesticides than most crops, which means in exchange for a smaller exposure of dioxin, you increase your exposure to pesticide; unless of course you use 100% organic cotton tampons. The fact that the cotton in these tampons is certified organic means it will not have been exposed to pesticides that other non-organic cotton tampons may have been. All-cotton tampons are generally harder to find and usually cost more than generic tampon brands, but are s


I wanna tone up my abs to a ''light'' six pack, i run every other day on the treadmill for 30 minutes.How long will it be till i see results??Will running take care of my love handles???Any suggestions??/I really appreciate everyones answers!!!

First the weight; get a bathroom scale that shows your bodyfat. Weight is not important, the percentage of bodyfat you have IS.\n\nAerobics will get your bodyfat down, but you need to do some additonal exercises to get the stomach flat. Gravity is pulling your stomach muscles down, that is why you have the "love handles."\n\nLie on a floor, your kitchen is a good choice. Put your knees up, your feet up under the bottom of the kitchen counter cabinets. Put your arms across your upper chest. Raise your upper back 1/4 up off the floor. HOLD yourself up for 20 seconds. FEEL your abs tighten up and shake. Do every other day.\n\nDo not put your hands behind your head, do not go up any higher than 1/4 up off the floor. This exercise tightens up only the abs. If you go up any higher, your sides and back muscles are pulling you up. If you use your hands behind your head, you are pulling yourself up.


Pretty girl, no respect, mouthy, bi polar,

No amount of Rehab will help unless she is willing to make a change. Addiction is a tough thing to go through, there are a lot of underlying issues that cause her to use. I've been clean for three years now, meth and crack cocaine being my drugs of choice. It took a lot of losing to get me back onto my feet. She'll hit bottom and hopefully realize meth is not the way to live. Some of us are not that lucky. I'm here if she ever wants to talk.

Vaginal discharge is very common in women, especially in the middle of your cycle.  Different things can cause an increase in vaginal discharge, age, hormone changes, and birth control are common.\n\nAs long as you aren't having any itching, burning, pain, or redness, or smell you're fine. \n\nAnd since you've gone to the doctor and they said you're fine, relax it should go away after your period starts.

my nephew may have to declare himself bankcrupt will he have to give up his life policy to pay towards his debts or will he be allowed to keep it going if someone else is paying the monthly installment

u can get money by puting the insutrance policy as a security. its better that u consult ur agent or the company.


Since it is a "little" while, it obviously has a quantitative value, therefore it is not an infinite while.  \n\nWhile I am thinking about it, since it is a "little" while, it is therefore not the biggest or maximum while.\n\nIf we restrict our thinking to big and little whiles, then we can assume that it is at least less than or equal to a while that falls exactly between a big while and a little while, therefore a little while is only at the most half the size of a big while, that is, [ little while <= 1/2 big while ]\n\nNow at least we have limited a little while to the lowest half of possible whiles.\n\nWhile this may seem somewhat of a wily answer at least you can be somewhat assured that while you are contemplating awhile about a while, that it only took a little while because if it had taken a big while then you probably would have gotten bored in a little while and wondered again about the whiles and wherefores of the answer and therefore taken twice as long wondering about the wherefores too. That would have taken quite a while.

Obviously any smoking is not good for you, but I am wondering if there are any statistics as to what deines a "heavy" smoker?  Is it a pack a day?  Two packs?  Are there other levels of smokers that have been classified?

If you want statistical definitions the CDC and other health organizations officialy classify each type of smoker as follows:  Light smoker: <10 cigarettes per day;   Moderate smoker: 10 <25 cigarettes per day;  Heavy smoker: >25 cigarettes per day.

I got all my wisdom teeth out a week ago and althhough they are just sore, my other molars (on the right) hurt like crazy to chew or swish water around. Where my wisdom teeth were is a little sore like I said, but really, my other molars are killing me! Did I develop cavities in the last week or what?!

it is normal for you to have sensitivity/tenderness in areas near the extraction sites for several reasons.  when teeth are removed, new surfaces of adjacent teeth are exposed.  these surfaces are not used to being exposed to fluids/foods/etc.  it takes many weeks for the areas to return to normal.  of course "normal" is relative to the individual.  another reason for tenderness in these areas is that the surgeon uses adjacent teeth to leverage against during the extraction procedure.  this activity expands surrounding bone and temporarily aggravates tissues and ligaments of associated teeth.  \n\nso, if you are only a week post-op, don't be surprised to experience tenderness/pain/sensitivity for another 3-6 weeks.  make sure you follow your surgeon's instructions in order to promote optimal healing.  \n\ngood luck...  hit the ibuprofen and pain meds as needed.


Today is 3rd day of a waking with a headache. Shoulders and neck were stiff. Headache is gone but tingle sensation is still at base of neck and shoots upwards when I turn my head l or r. The pressure I feel with a sinus headach is at the back of my skull(???) What is this and how can I get rid of it?

you possibly have a "pinched nerve" or small disc protrusion in your neck. mine healed with rest, heat and ibuprofen.\n\nif it does not get better in the next few days or gets worse, see a doctor asap. imho, do not go to a chiropractor or let someone "crack" your neck.\nI am not a dr. or nurse: but have had this same thing happen to me.


In V for Vendetta, a character referred to 200 grand or something, and it made me wonder if Europeans refer to their pounds as being 200 pounds or Euros.

I think only the British say grand. In some other countries people use a different words. For example, Czechs use "litr" (liter) for 1000 and other words for smaller amounts. So a Czech wouldn't say 5 grand, he'd say 5 liters.\n\nIn Iceland people don't use anything like this, they say 5 thousand. I'm pretty sure it's like that in most countries in Europe, or they may have their own slang instead of "grand".


Dimm B is full. Dimm a is empty and I dont know how to get to it.

EEEK, this is the hardest of the slots to fill because the DIMM A slot on this machine is located under the keyboard, so you actually have to take it off to get to it. \n\nNOTE MAKE SURE YOU TURN THE POWER OFF AND TAKE OUT THE BATTERY BEFORE WORKING ON YOUR MACHINE. ALSO, invest in a WRIST GROUNDING STRAP. you dont want to ruin your machine with something that could have been avoided with a $6 fix.\n\nYou have to take off the two screws at the top of the keyboard underneath the screen, then lift it up until it slides forward easy. Under the left side cntrl key, there should be a tab connecting the keyboard to the machine, release it. \n\nPutting in memory\n\nDell systems are very specific and only will take dell parts.

It's an interesting topic, one to get student's thinking.\n\nI can see a laptop being useful, not the other items.\n\nI plan on going back to school and want to buy a laptop for a few reasons. One, taking notes cramps my hand severely (carpal tunnel acts up with a lot of writing). I can type way faster than I can write, with no hand cramps.  I also need to do research papers, and again, taking notes in the library is time consuming and hand cramping.  \n\nI also plan on taking online classes, and having a laptop will let me log in and take the classes at home, in the library or when I travel.  My desktop computer gets used by other family members, is not portable, so I need my very own computer.\n\nSince all papers need to be typed, a computer of one's own is very, very useful. \n\nYes, you can do all the above without a computer, and when I went through school and got my BA in the years, bc (before computer), I used a typewriter and had to retype things, splice them together, type again, use whiteout, cut and paste using scissors and glue (literally).  The computer makes all that obsolete.\n\nLaptop, definately. \n\nipod?  nah.  just put music on the computer. and buy a computer that plays dvd movies too.\n\ndistracting?  Anything can be distracting, even something like your own thoughts. Distractions will always be available, it's a matter of self-discipline.\n\n\nHave fun with your paper.


I am deciding between UC santa Barbara and UC Davis. I just want to be able to get the Highest possible GPA so that a good grad school will accept me.

Academic success is dependent on a number of factors:\n1. Quality of evaluation\n2. Student performance\n3. Student behavior (lifestyle and decisions)\n\nWhether a school is a party school or known for high performance students does not really determine your personal performance.  There will be 4.0 students anywhere you go just as there will be students that do not do as well.  For example, I chose Miami University over Harvard because (1) I could not participate in the social life and (2) because Miami had a specialized academic program that I found very attractive.  The friends I made in that program could have been scholarship students at Harvard as well, but we liked what we were doing.  On the other hand, being in that program - even though it was mostly populated by honors students - did not gaurantee academic success!  My first roomie flunked out because he partied too much.  Later, a neighbor left the university for dealing pot.  He wasn't anything to brag about in terms of academics either, so we could just say he partied too much as well.\n\nOne concern that I have learned through experience about a party school (I now work at what might be called a "party school") is the environment.  A party school environment - even if you aren't one of the partiers, could be a distraction.  For example, I thought I was moving into a quiet neighborhood in an AWESOME location!  I could walk to work.  I could walk to restaurants.  What I hadn't realized was that I signed my contract in the summer and fall would be very different: enter the partiers...  During the fall, I had trouble sleeping.  Drunken students returning from bars would yell and scream from the sidewalks all the way home.  My neighbors, in what appeared to be a quiet neighborhood, were all frat hockey players that loved to party loud.  Although they were nice about when I complained, the fact was that their friends knew them and would make more noise as they walked by screaming to them, so it didn't matter.  Of course, even if they didn't have friends, there were the 4-5 am drunks lost and screaming at friends on their cell phones.  Needing to wake at 6-7am for my 8-5 job, I was was in insomnia HELL - particularly if I wanted ANY sort of life AT ALL because sleeping from 6-2 would have obliterated my social life.\n\nI didn't get honest answers about rental locations when I first arrived to work here.  You might not get the same at the UC schools, but BE CAREFUL where you sleep!  A party now and then never messed me over, but living in party central is a surefire recipie for disaster because I could not imagine doing well academically in my current sleep-deprived state.\n\nThat's my number one reason for selecting against the party school, but either way, make sure your sleeping arrangement is sound!  Outside of that, unless something is catastrophically wrong (and it sounds like you are comparing similar schools and that you're bright enough to be concerned about this), academic success should be possible at either.  Faculty at either school should offer good advice on account of their being around for a while...


Does anyone know? Help would be greatly appreciated. ^_^

Ash was a substitute for soap.\nPeople used ash or even soil for washing because the dirt sticks to the ash and is washed away with water.\n\nWith the advent of soap, which is more powerful (in washing) and more convinient than ash, it replaced ash.

I tried to investigate ubiquitin transcrition level using real time PCR but unfortunately the ABprism program for making primer failed to make primer so how can I study the ubiquiting transcrition?

The other major way to study transcription level other than PCR is Northern blotting, in which you run all poly A+ RNA on a gel, and probe with radioactive complementary strand of ubiquitin cDNA- An easier way would be to check the DNA databases for ubiquitin primers used for quantitative PCR- Ubiquitin is a highly studied protein, and thus there are numerous PCR primer sequences available in these databases.


I'm trying to get the best results in 3-6 months. How often should I make the weights heavier?

To tell you the truth, I don't think weight lifting is that important. I know people who can lift so much, but it doesn't help them. I think if you have a good coach, and you train really hard, you'll be fine. I know people who have never lifted in their life, and they are amazing volleyball players. But that's just my opinion.

A tenant recently asked, if multiple credit checks by landlords when looking for an apartment would lower their credit score. I would think the answer is no, since it's different than applying for credit cards ect. What do all of you say.

she is the only one i have given all my heart and her relatives have accepted me as part of the family.But i am not really financially sound now due to problems around me now. i am really crazy for her.

Confront her about it and say goodbye. If she is lying and cheating, she really doesn't care about you and never will. I have learned this the hard way. Move on. She will only destroy you. Take it from a man who's heart was nearly destroyed by selfish b*t*h that only cared about what she wanted and needed. Mostly hot sex with gorgeous guys. Not having money will drive away more than 90% of women, so get some money before you find another, or learn to play guitar...


My husband has been physical abusive in the past, he's an alcoholic and has a bad temper. A while ago I offered him the chance to say that he wanted to be different and he refused. So I told him that I wanted a divorce, I want to be with someone who treats me like the catch I am.\n\nNow I am starting to think about what life without him will be like. I am afraid to live my life without his support. We have 3 year old twins who need a lot of love and affection. I am starting to think that I need to give him one more chance, we have been separated for 10 months and in that time he may have changed. Me finally getting mad enough to tell him I want a divorce could have gotten the wheels turning in his head. \n\nAm I just crazy? I really want us to work it out.

Been right where you are and I certainly feel your pain.  Truth is I did take him back only to be broken yet again. We have been apart for three years now and my life is so much better while he is still up to his same tricks of abusing the next one. Alcoholic behavior and tendencies will not change.  10 months is certainly not long enough to heal old wounds he has.  There is a better life...I found one.  You and your children deserve to be treated with love and respect, not something to be knocked around or controlled in any manor.  I wish you all the best.

You ever notice that once u solve one prob in your life another newer greater bigger one always pops up? There's this guy, I used to like (and still kinda do) We haven't talked in about a whole year. But like almost everyday, we look/stare at eachother.....I'm just curios as to if he likes me, or from a guys perspective of what's up. He's not in any of my classes so I can't talk to him. It's just weird....

He's probably looking at you and thinking bad thoughts about you.  Calling you names in his head.  If you two haven't talked in a year, there must be a reason.


these are the options i am looking at:\n1. they are not usually valid because of the ease of deleting email messages\n2. contracts for goods can be valid, but not email contracts for services\n3. contracts are valid only for contracts less than $500\n4. they are valid so long as both parties sign a written copy printed out from the email\n5. they are generally treated similarly to contracts negotiated by other means

Dear Friend,\n\nThe answer is #5.  E-mail contracts are written contracts.  They are valid under the same conditions as would be paper contracts.  Signature is not required, there is no maximum dollar amount, and it doesn't matter whether the contract is for goods or services.  A deal is a deal.\n\nYour Friend,\nFrancesois


Im doing a project for social studies and cant find what they wear in china.

The average Chinese person dresses quite similarly to you. Jeans are very popular, and there are now numerous malls in Chinese cities with dozens of clothing stores. They are quite fashionable. There are different styles of clothing, just like back home. Some are sporty, some are grungy, some are preppy, some are flighty. \n\nSome shoes are very, very pointy and this was popular here before it became so elsewhere, I believe. I started seeing those shoes for sale here about 5 years ago. Most shoes and other clothing is very stylish. You have to remember that most of the clothes you wear were made here in China and so they have long been exposed to Western fashion. They are excellent copiers and now there is an entire industry of Chinese modern fashions.\n\nSome clothing looks very old-womanish, such as winter jackets and winter underclothes that are very bulky and are sometimes worn so that they can be clearly seen. In the spring and summer, I used to see, more often than I do now, middle-aged women in dresses with high heels and ankle nylons riding their bikes to and from work. Many of these women wore hats and over the hats and their faces, they tied sheer black or patterned scarves. This is to keep the dust out of their eyes. I still see the scarves tied over faces and it still freaks me out a bit from a distance. \n\nOften, old men still wear the Mao suits. These are simple blue suits that button up the front and have short collars with matching pants that are wide-legged. These men often wear plain black cotton shoes that have rubber soles. They also wear the typical Mao hat with them. Look up Mao to get an idea of what this looks like. \n\nThere are many ethnic minorities in China. These people can often be seen in their traditional clothes which are usually very colorful.

I found this statement under:\n\nThe Origins Of Political Correctness\n \nA community declines when the majority of its citizens become selfish, and under this influence it slowly dismantles all the restraints upon self-indulgence established by manners, customs, tradition and law. As each subsequent generation of selfish citizens inherits control of the community, it takes its opportunity to abandon more of the irksome restraints that genius and wisdom had installed. The proponents of this social demolition achieve their irrational purpose by publicly embracing absurdity through slogans while vilifying any who do not support their stance. The purpose of the slogan is to enshrine irrational fears, or fancies, as truth through the use of presumptuous words, so public pronouncement:\nDissembles the real nature of the claim \nIdentifies any dissenters as enemies of the truth \nActs as an excuse for any crimes committed in its name\n\nWhat a powerful statement!  What do you think?

Does anyone know the origins of Political Correctness? Who originally developed it and what was its purpose?\nI looked it up. It was developed at the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt, Germany, which was founded in 1923 and came to be known as the "Frankfurt School." It was a group of thinkers who pulled together to find a solution to the biggest problem facing the implementers of communism in Russia.\n\nThe problem? Why wasn't communism spreading? \n\nTheir answer? Because Western Civilization was in its way. \n\nWhat was the problem with Western Civilization? Its belief in the individual, that an individual could develop valid ideas. At the root of communism was the theory that all valid ideas come from the effect of the social group of the masses. The individual is nothing. \n\nAnd they believed that the only way for communism to advance was to help (or force, if necessary) Western Civilization to destroy itself. How to do that? Undermine its foundations by chipping away at the rights of those annoying individuals.\n\nOne way to do that? Change their speech and thought patterns by spreading the idea that vocalizing your beliefs is disrespectful to others and must be avoided to make up for past inequities and injustices. \n\nAnd call it something that sounds positive: "Political Correctness."\n\nInspired by the brand new communist technique, Mao, in the 1930s, wrote an article on the "correct" handling of contradictions among the people. "Sensitive training" – sound familiar? – and speech codes were born.\n\nIn 1935, after Hitler came to power, the Frankfurt School moved to New York City, where they continued their work by translating Marxism from economic to cultural terms using Sigmund Freud's psychological conditioning mechanisms to get Americans to buy into Political Correctness. In 1941, they moved to California to spread their wings.\n\nBut Political Correctness remains just what it was intended to be: a sophisticated and dangerous form of censorship and oppression, imposed upon the citizenry with the ultimate goal of manipulating, brainwashing and destroying our society.\n\nThe PC U.S.\n\nWith profound dismay, I have seen how the scourge of Political Correctness has taken hold in the U.S. It is very well entrenched in our educational system, at scientific, religious and community levels, the media, the workplace and even our government.\n\nIt is changing the American society from within, and the citizens of this nation are increasingly censoring themselves and losing their freedom of speech out of fear of Political Correctness repression. \n\nIt is the nature of Western Civilization to be civilized – respectful of others and concerned with correcting injustices. We don't need Political Correctness to make us think we are not civilized on our own and must have our thoughts and words restricted.\n\nIn December 2001, in Kensington, Md., an annual firefighters Santa Claus festivity to light the Christmas tree was objected to by two families. The city council, in the name of Political Correctness, voted to ban Santa from the parade. Fortunately, due to citizen outcry, the decision was reversed in the end and many people protested by dressing up as Santa.\n\nLogically and respectfully, how can one person's benign icon be objectionable to the point of banishment? Offer to add other people's icons. Make it a broader celebration. That's the Perfectly Correct American way.\n\nThe rulers of Political Correctness reach absurd levels when they refer to the betrayal of America by the spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg – executed in 1953 – as "non-traditional patriotism"!\n\nWe see shameful situations created in our schools and universities in America that have fallen prey to Political Correctness. Some professors, students and publications are being attacked for expressing a point of view that differs from that imposed by a fanatical far left


The incident occurred in a purely inebriated state at the close of a party. Will it be defined as adultery. Will it be called infidelity if not disclosed to your spouse for the fear of a disturbance in your married life even though you are sincerely repenting it and vowing not to repeat it ever.

Yes, you should feel guilty. No, you should never tell your spouse. It will cause a lot of pain. You will feel better not carrying a secret, but your spouse will know that you can't be trusted, and it could destroy them. If you tell your spouse, it could be the end of your marriage. Certainly, it will be the end of your marriage as you now know it. Your partner's innocence will be lost, and your relationshiop will never be the same. You probably already feel something had changed, or you wouldn't be on Yahoo! Answers spilling your guts. This is something you will have to live with. What kind of spouse is going out getting drunk at parties anyway? Your only hope is to give your life to Jesus, and be forgiven for your sins. Then you can start a new life and maybe get past this. Go to this link http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/save.htm Take your spouse to church and get yourself together.\n\nI sincerely hope that this has, at least, been a wake-up call to you that you need to change your lifestyle.


Why doesn’t the Government fund a contest like the $10 million "Ansari X Prize", which was a contest that awarded to the first privately-funded group which launches a pilot and two passengers (or the equivalent in ballast) into space, and then repeats the feat within two weeks? \n\nThey can award $10 million to the first privately-funded group which can create a gas engine that is able to get 250 miles to the gallon. Combine this with batteries like the Hybrid cars and the rest is history. \n\nIf we can send a rocket to mars and land two machines that continue still to roll around and send us pictures I think we can create an engine that is able to get 250 miles to the gallon what do you think? \n\nWhat’s more important, less gas dependency and health care or being the first country to waste 45 billion dollars to be the 1st to Pluto?

Someone already did invent an engine that ran on something other than gas.  It was covered up years ago and set on a shelf.  Because of the "financial repercussions of putting so many people out of business", so the excuse was at the time.\n\nObviously we should be spending more on becoming less dependent on oil and I certainly think the health care crisis in this nation is more important than seeing how much money they can possibly waste in the space program...good program, but other pressing needs are being ignored!


Could we by any chance create energy from the motion of the interior of Earth? I'm talking about something similar to the electricity generation of quarts when it is deformed.

Yes indeed.  I am absolutely sure we can use geophysical knowledge to generate vast quantities of electricity, but we won't be able to do this until more people are allowed to study geophysics AND they are interested to discover such options.  They will still need a job, budget, and equipment.\n\nMeanwhile, continue your study and do not forget about geothermal.  See my Blog Roll for an explanation of geothermal.  Iceland makes much use of geothermal energy, but there are quite a few ordinary Canadians who have geothermal home heating and cooling systems.\n\nBlog Roll is down on the left at:\n\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-7dNzZV06cpnGmuKQRUwj0WV6Ig--?cq=1&p=23\n\nWe have uncovered only a very few of the many possible sources of power and energy.  There is proof of this for those who explore leads and pointers, even those found in my blog(s).\n\nBut people who explore leads and pointers are around 1 in 10,000 more or less.\n\nI do not really know whether the cause for this is attention span or pizza distraction.  Sleep and exercise will help, as will experience and age.\n\nBut questions and curiosity are the most important, then diligence, even tenacity.


the recent protest by the medical, IIT, IIM students who are fighting against the reservations proposal by indian govt. is in a way affecting the society of toady's world. why should we have reservations in every aspect of human life? does reservation gives the comforts or atleast the platform for a backward class person in today's society?

Do u see any merit in any Govt department? or any Govt functioning? Its like talking about a bullet train to people who have never seen anything better than a bullock cart! Now they want to increase seats.\nAlas! i wish increasing the seats in IIM and IIT would have been as easy as it is to make an Indian politician! Its so easy to make a politicians as it needs just a few lessons like\n- How to commit murders and rapes\n- How to take bribes\n- How to screw up the country by bending and curcumventing rules\n- How to act siphon of public money without being caught\n- How to sell the country\n- How to whip religeous, caste and separatist passions to garner votes\n- How to rig elections\n\nOn the other hand IIT's and IIM's are world class institutes and they make best of the Engineers and the best of managers in the world. They create best infrestructure and have to device international standards of teaching with the best vrains as faculties so its not easy to increase evene a single seat without a long planning and upgradation of infrastructure.\n\nThe problem is that people like Arjun singh think that its as easy to make world class manager as its to make a Indian class politician. The fact is its much easier to make a Raja Bhaiya or DP Yadav and very difficult to make a Narayan Murthy


i believe if we can prepare carbon compounds like methane and ethanol we should also be able to prepare petrol and diesel

We certainly can and do just that. But it's more expensive to prepare it from scratch than it is drilling for hydrocarbons and refining them.\n\nThe answer isn't always 'what can be done', but rather 'what can be done most economically'.

Some days before my pc was affected by Trojan .. virus and all 'Mydocument' files started getting corruptd one by one. To solve this problem, I have copied these files to another disk drive using copy and (by mistake)paste-shortcuts. The main corrupted disk was formatted and to my dismay, I could not see any of the original files in the new area, except shortcut route keys. Can some expert suggest a method to recover all my files? The files were almost office2000 and PDF formats. Pcok.


I was told to write a script by my English teacher. She want's me to submit it after the holidays. Anyone out there who has any ideas for an original play/drama? I'm thinking of writing a script of a movie I want to direct myself of a debate competition. I don't really know but I think it's a great idea. It's the only idea I have now. Please give me more.

I suggest that you really get a sense of what a real debate tournament is like before writing the script. If you or your friend is on debate, then great, just take one of your tournaments that was really memorable and dramatize it even more. However, if you're not on debate, make sure you ask someone on your school's debate team what it's like getting up there on the podium and ask them for their best or worst experiences from tournaments. Then you can write a play from that.\n\nI think it's a great idea, because I'm on my school's debate team and there's always so much drama in the tournaments and just within the team and coaches. A play portraying that sounds great.


I am running on Windows XP and it is running pretty slow, can someone please please please send me advise or instructions on how to make it run the fastest it can with out having to wipe off everything on your computer.

here are some tips:\n\nA.  run adware and spyware killing programs regularly.  adaware is a good free program.\n\nB.  run scan disk and disk defragmenter weekly.\n\nC.  clear objects from your startup folder\n1.  click start\n2.  click run\n3.  type:  MSconfig     into the box and press enter\n4.  click the startup tab on the right.\n5.  look for programs like Ymessenger, AIM, jussched, qttask.  if you dont know what somthing is dont uncheck the box.  look in the location field (the listing to the right) to see where the program is located on your hard drive.  this will give you a better idea of what it is and who made the program (i.e. yahoo programs will be in a folder called yahoo... and no yahoo programs are essential for startup).\n6.  upon extiting this program you will be asked to restart.  do so.\n7.  when windows boots up you will get a window with a single check box... click to activate that check box and click ok.


Say that the variance of a set of is 24/5.  At a minimum, about how many data points will be within 4.3818 of the mean of measurements?

the Chebyshev's inequality goes Pr(|X-mean| > or = k.sd)< or = 1/k^2\n\ni m assuming u meant standard deviation when u said 4.3818, which is 2 sd.\n\nThe prob of points outside 2sd at both sides is not more than 1/k^2.. or 1/2^2=1/4.\n\nSo, the probability of points within 2sd will be at least 1-1/4=3/4.\n\nhow many data points? if u have 100 data points in total, there will be at least 100x3/4=75 data points within the mean+/-4.3818 range.\n\nNote: The exactly probability depends on the type of distribution the data follows, for example, for Normal/Gaussian, 95% lies within +/- 1.96sd. Chebyshev's inequality states the minimum possible for any type of distribution.

i broke up with my boyfriend about 2 weeks ago. honestly it didnt really bother me, infact i remember jumping up and down the next morning when i realized i was single again (lol). but now it seems like i think about him more than i did when i wanted to break up, and its like everything reminds me of him all the sudden. a couple of times ive even caught myself daydreaming about a good time we shared together.i dont feel like i miss him (mostly) but all the sudden my feelings of being on my own now are a little depressing, i didnt think it would be like this. what the hells the matter with me, this whole thing i just typed is COMPLETELY not my normal personality, ive never felt like this. so uncertian and maybe even guilty for breaking up, he was really hurt when i told him . . .

It's only been two weeks.  I know it's cliched, but give it time, devote yourself to other things and spend more time with your friends and family.  Eventually, you'll see that you made the right decision and remember why you broke up with him in the first place.  If, in three or four months, you still feel the same way, you need to re-examine the entire situation.  Hopefully, by them you'll have someone that either is or potentially is a better fit for you.

George Bush  blew up the levees in New Orleans, destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, and started the Civil War, WWI, and the War of the Roses, and is now training alligators in Florida to attack black people. \n\nIt is his desire to end the world. I know for a fact that on June 28, 2006, at precisely 22:00:00 Bush is going to launch a nuclear attack on San Francisco, in the hopes that California will finally vote for a Republican President. After that, he will retire to his ranch in Texas, where he will finally meet with Cindy Sheehan, and she will conceive his love child. When he finally dies, he will join Louie Farrakan and Elijah Mohommed in their spaceship that is\ncircling the earth.


Blaise Pascal? He invented the calculator. Maybe Isaac Newton, the inventor of calculus, or Charles Babbage, the inventor of the computer. Perhaps John Napier, who discovered how to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and even extract square roots simply by moving pieces on a chessboard? Tell you what, pick René Descartes, he's the inventor of coordinate geometry. These are all excellent choices!


I was just reading in a personal improvement message about gossip?  The authur asked people to raise their hands if they knew what a TomKat was.  It is not an airplane, actor/actress, wattage for a light bulb. What is a TomKat?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.\n\nIt's an example of a moniker used in the media to describe two celebrities who become romantically involved.\n\nIt's also considered a pun, considering Tom Cruise flew the F-14 Tomcat in the movie "Top Gun".\n\nAnother example is Benniffer (Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez).

I'be been with my boyfriend for 8 months, and we do mess around, but we've never had sex, but I think I might have gotten some pre-ejacualte fluid on my skin. I'm 6 days late of my period, but I'm getting cramps, just not as bad as i usually get them. Could I be pregnant?

If you had sex during ovulation, it is a very good possibility.  Your best bet is to wait at least two weeks after a missed period and see your doctor for a blood pregnancy test as this is the most accurate way of testing.


No fakes, I mean people that really actually voted for George W. Bush.  I have a fake detector program and will zap you if your not genuine!

I think some small percentage of people might, but ONE of the hardest things a person can do is to admit when they have made a mistake.\n\nEspecially if they have spent considerable time (months, years, etc.) defending their position and insisting they were right.\n\nAnd that applies to many things...not just George W.

Concentrating and Reading\n\nIt is often difficult to concentrate during your studies. Here are some techniques that many students have found helpful. \nAsking Yourself Questions \nGetting the Most from Your Reading \nRead the Ideas \nAsking Yourself Questions\nThe key to maintaining focus is to stop periodically and ask yourself questions, such as \nHow does this relate to what I already know? \nIf this is true, what else follows? \nWhat else could these facts mean? \nWhat assumptions are being made? \nWhat's the evidence for this? \nCan I think of a good example of this? \nWhat are the unique points of this? \nGetting the Most from Your Reading\nCheck off (with a light pencil mark) each paragraph that you completely understand. If you start to get lost in the reading, you will know exactly where: just after the last check! \nIf a section is too difficult for you, try reading in a whisper. Hearing what we read is like reading it a second time. \nSimilarly, it is good to stop regularly and summarize out loud what you have just read. \nTry to link new information with the information you already know. Ask yourself, ``How do I already know this?'' You can also ask yourself questions such as the focus questions above. Active linking creates powerful memories. \nTake a few seconds to visualize what you have just read. \nDon't forget to jot down key words and concepts. If you read, `rite, and recite (``3R''), you've got a better chance of retaining crucial information. \nAfter taking a short break from studying, and before you start up again, take a few minutes to review the information you have just learned. This will give you a sense of progress and motivate you to continue on. \nRead the Ideas\nWhen you are reading \nStop at the end of each \nParagraph \nPage \nMain Section \nClose your book \nRecall the ideas from memory \nRecite the ideas out loud in your own words \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\naugustine@columbia.edu\nLast update: February 4, 1996


Of course, if he had won and become President of USA.

It is so hard to speculate what he would have done. An assassins bullet ended any hope for a Kennedy to be president. However he had the same drive as his brother Jack and had that Kennedy charisma that was well understood at the time. His stint as attorney general earmarked the fact that he was tough on organized crime. His public service record was certainly wonderful. I think he would have advanced the civil rights movement. Johnson's war on poverty would have not lost steam and many people would have advanced in life. I would hope that we would have public health care by now if he had been president then. What is wrong with the richest peoples on earth providing a means for a hand up to people that have been pushed down for so long.


I am 31 years old and lost...i wonder if you believe in fate and if you think i will get married...\n\nlost

i don't see why not. marriage needs a lot of commitment and tolerance. you think you know someone inside out but turns out you have no clue about him at all. i believe marriage comes your way when you are ready to harbour the whole package. can tell you are a nice person. just be hopeful and wait for your reward.\nall the best.


How much research is taking place towards achieving the goal of healing HIV/AIDs or finding the vaccine?

hard to say. will probably be awhile. the virus is very difficult to treat because it constantly mutates, so as soon as we develop a vaccine the virus has already mutated so it is ineffective. i think there is probably quit a bit of research going into it. its becoming more of a chronic disease, its not that unusual for people to live more than 20 years after being infected anymore (in the US anyway, africa is a different story)


Socrates is one of the best known philosophers in the world. \nyet historians know nothing about him, the only real proff that we have that he was someone was him being put to death. \nonly information we have comes from plato beloved student(maybe lover somesay) a think headed warrior and a critic who turn him into a polical joke. \nhis teaching are best discribed as repetive questions, to the point he was considered annoying. \n\nwho was Socrates for real?

Hello dear!\nIt is a great question.\nFrom the time humanity walked away from Socrates teachings and example life, wars, poverty, hate, evil governs the world.\nWhat do I mean?\nSocrates did not write something, but innumerous simple people, as well as official documents, play writers, philosophers are mentioning him and his teachings, mostly known is his "execution" for his stand for what he presented. He mentioned that he prefers Thanatos (Death) than living away from Truth and striving to approach and help other to approach Truth.\nAll his life, he was consulting people in virtues, knowledge, power, etc. He has, even, define sciences, like Economics and has criticized the strongest of his time (dangerous all the times) if he thought he would contribute to their and society's improvement.\nBefore him there were no organized colleges, while immediately during and after him we have schools opening in Athens and other cities, we could identify dozens of them.\nHe directed the most famous play writer, Euripides to let out the fanatism and superstitions and teach the audience into logic!\nFurther, a lot are confusing him with the sophists, but he was not trying to convince people on his ideas, but rather was (and for many he is still doing it) assisting the person they were having a conversation to "find" the Truth!\nFor many (I am among them) Socrates is the greatest Teacher, ever!\nOthers claim that Socrates is the highest philosopher!\nWell, among his pupils are Plato and Xenophon, Euripides and Crito and dozens of others (I consider all the Western world and civilization are his pupils!)\nAccording to ancient scripts, we know the exact location his body is, right now.\nAlso, he is mentioned by all writers of his time. He even was a member of the Athenean parliament and served his city whenever requested. These and more, guarantee that Socrates really existed and was at least what we know. I wrote "at least", since many are trying to lower his contribution to humanity and they have their reasons!\nIf I may advice, read Plato's "Apology of Socrates". It is an easy text which will enlighten you and will make you a better person, understand all mysteries, love thyself and everything! Have a successful life!


English, Spanish, French, German, Yiddish, Italian, some Hebrew (I'm a bit rusty), some Portuguese, a bit of Russian, a bit of Polish, ASL (American Sign Language), enough Tagalog to get by, assorted phrases in Gha, Ibo, Hindi and Urdu.\n\nI can also read Latin (High, Church and some Vulgate), Helenic Greek (slowly and not well), & Middle English.\n\nI guess I need a life!  :-)


I've used DVDStyler in the past; it's not too bad.  You make the menu, link it to the mpeg2 video files you want to use (it may take other stuff too), and it produces an ISO to burn.  I couldn't burn the ISO using Nero Express 5, but DeepBurner (also free) seems to work for burning these ISOs.


please hurry...it's friday and i'm gonna' tell him i like him on saturday!!! i want 2 b like "hey...i like you...i need 2 no if u like me back, 'cause if u don't then i want 2 just move on" .... but i'm not sure!!! what do i say and how do i respond if he says "yes" or "no" .... either way i need 2 no what 2 say back!!!

Okay, okay, okay...\n\nHere's the thing. You said that he is shy. Why does that matter? If you get that feeling that he kind of likes you already then you just need to take the bull by the horns. Take him to a quiet place if you can and come out with it. Just tell him that you really like him. End with a kiss... and that's that. If he's really shy then he'll appreciate your being forward all the more.\n\nTake it from one who was once 'this really shy guy': he will be thankful for your honesty. Actually, when I was like that I had this girl stride up to me and start eating my face off. We were 'really good pals' after that, know what I mean?

is there any where that i can get virtual ram sticks to make my PC have 512mb ram instead of 256 without buying more ram??

Virtual memory is handled by your Operating System.  It is related to the amount of physical memory you have, but you're really not going to be able to do much to increase the effectiveness unless you go buy more.


ok guys please tell me the truth here..My bf said to me today he want some space from me. He wants to re-think our relationship etc.. ( after i broke up with him). SO does this means i'll never see him again? We do share common friends.. and i'm close friends with his twinbrother,. so What do u think he means by "i need some time away from u'?

he's bored, he wants to play around, he's already playing around but tired of hiding it, he's sick of you, he's gone nuts....lots of things.  forget him and move on


If there is, i will thanks the lord, i'm black, my email is oreosmundi@yahoo.co.uk

I believe there is someone for everyone as a person, why do you find it necessary to say, I'M Black. I don't say when I put pen to paper or talk I'M WHITE. Either your a lovely person and thats all that counts, or you're not. Think of being a lovely person then others will think the same. Hope you get what you want have a lovely life.


Ok, Democrats what was the reason for this? I need some real answers. Found out only one Democrat voted for it in the House. The Republicans wanted this (all but one voted for it), just proves my theory more about Democrats not helping the working man, and small buisnesses. I need Health Insurance because my meds are so high. If someone is in Real Estate, that does not mean they are rich. What is this about Republican's only helping the rich? A lot of the people I know in Real Estate are just struggling to get by. Now I will have second thoughts about getting back into the field at this time. Democrats don't want the poor people to make money or be self employed. They want poor people to stay poor. People you really need to wake up! Stop voting for Democrats. Democrats are for big government and want to take our tax dollars and tell us what to do with it. Sure we have more Republicans but we don't have enough to get this bill passed! Democrats I need a good reason you did this?

I find it hard to believe that any Republican voted for a bill that was designed primarily to help out the individual worker or the small businessman.  I haven't done any homework, but when 100% of Republicans vote for a bill and no Democrats, I guarantee you the language of the bill is twisted so that large insurance companies get the most benefit at the EXPENSE of small businesses, such as real estate agents, despite what your Republican congressperson would want you to believe.\n\nPerhaps you shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.\n\nEither that, or as is all too typical in the Republican-led House, the bill was so laden with pork added by gluttonous, back-patting representatives that while the Democrats would love to see everyone have health insurance, they couldn't vote for something so unconscionably self-serving.\n\nUpdate: found a couple of links, I assume the bill you mean is the "Small Business Health Fairness Act, H.R. 525", passed by the House in July, 2005.  Not really breaking news, I think\n\nThe Democrats oppose this bill because they had their own version and they believed the Republican version actually reduces the number of insured workers.  So I suppose it's how you feel about getting what you want at the expense of others who would be hurt by the bill.


I went to a Big Ten school and graduated with honors. I have some mgt. experience and it doesnt appear to be enough!!\nWhat can one do to break into a company w/o taking peanuts for pay?!?!

I have a Master's and still found I wasn't getting paid enough to have a comfortable living. After all of the studying and all of the loans, I decided it was more profitable to own my own home based business and put all of my hard work for my benefit instead of my time being bought for wholesale and being compensated at retail. Now my entire check is mine, with no overhead. I was a day late and $70,000 short in learning that lesson. I won't make the same mistake with my children. I am teaching them how to own jobs instead of getting a job. Good luck with your degree.


(talking about African Americans) Is this system obselete? justified?

As contradictory as this statement may sound, I feel that affirmative action promotes reverse discrimination but is very necessary in some cases. The biggest problem we are facing today is that the playing field (i.e. in the business world, college admissions, etc.) is not as leveled as some people may think.  Sure, Black Americans (as well as other minorities) have come a long way from the old Jim Crow days, but there is a great amount of discrimination that still exists.  Believe me, I wish that the policies didn't exist, but then again, that would only occur/work in a perfect, non-discriminatory world...


California horses though strong lack the east coast especially Fla derby winner experience/that just my opinion.

First and foremost favorite only with 30% of the time secondly don't ever listen to the morning line or final odds cause odds don't me a thing any thing can and more then likely will happen and seeing as I am running a window that day I speak from experience.  Most my customers agree took a poll!!


On apirl second I left school with a firend which was a guy. We didn't really do nothing. we just went on the computer to my space and watched movies and went to our old school to see our old teachers. well when I went back to high school my mom was there waiting for me. she asked me where was I and I told her I was alone at the house. Iguess she thought I was with one of my friends and she called her mother.My so call friend told my mom I was with that boy. Now my mom thinks Had sex with him in the house but its not true. I don't know what to do.

Relax, parents often jump to conclusions and assume the worst.  It is just a part of being a parent.  What you have to realize is that the reason she thinks this is because what you did do caused her to lose her trust in you.  I think it is important that you take some time to talk to your mom and discuss why you did what you did and what you really did do so that you two can bridge this communication gap that has led to her losing trust in you.  Then you need to figure out how you can rebuild her trust in you because once it is lost it has to be re-earned.


i  have complited gratuation in arts(G). I have complitate hardware networking(FCNA) from TECHNOLAB. Now working as a receptionist in a imternet company i want to go for further studies in management line or other. which course wii be purfect for me?

First get out of the office and get a job as an entry level tech. Even if it's not what you want. My brother went to work for Cox Cable and took all the classes they offered. with in 2 years he moved into the server aspect of the company. Most large company (Cox, Comcast, DirecTV ) are willing to train someone who wants to advance. It's in their best interest.


Libs claim that during the Clinton administration, there was a surplus in the budget and unemployment was under 5%, and that Clinton's policies created such statistics.  The computer tech revolution was stirred by alot of geeks that resulted in a production boom, economy boom, and reduced unemployment levels, and created the huge surplus.  Gore who said he created teh internet is laughable, and Clinton had nothing to do with capitalists and entrepreneurs efforts.  So libs, wrong again.

awww... still crying about Clinton even though it happened 7 years ago... I bet you're going to run and call someone a communist in another thread because they insulted the president after you JUST MADE A THREAT INSULTING A PRIOR PRESIDENT.... \n\nyou're not even using statistics to back up what you're saying... just a bunch of propaganda... show me the numbers from a reputable source and you have a chance at convincing me of something that HAPPENED OVER 7 YEARS AGO... \n\nGOD KNOWS YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING GOOD IN THIS ADMINISTRATION TO TALK ABOUT SO YOU HAVE TO TRASH THE PREVIOUS ONE IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT POLITICS AT ALL...


I just moved here from Daytona Beach fl. and have been doing nothing for so long, would like to find a bar or some good bands to see just to get out and meet people and talk to people and too just have some fun!

See those two things protruding from your hips?\nThey are called legs and those funny looking things at the bottom of your legs are called feet.\n\nTry "beatin" them feet and get out and explore. That's what I would do. Or as a chick I guess you could just stay in with Mr Ed, your vibratory buddy LOL\n\nCheck the paper for upcoming events, Cincinati I hear is actually a decent City (i was there once).. Get out and enjoy!

This is not a question on opinion of religon. If Olympics are about unity, how do athletes whose religion restricts them from competeing on a Saturnday or any other day, be able to compete while keeping to their religion?

Who says the Olympics are about unity? The Olympics are about sport, and sportmanship...There are plenty of examples throughout Olympic history where an athlete has chosen to forego competition in observation of the Sabbath or other religious rites. See "Chariots of Fire"\n\nThis is purely between the athlete and their faith, it's not the responsibility of the Olympic organizers to accomodate the religious requirements of every athlete. Instead, it's up to the athlete to decide for themselves if they wish to observe the requirements of their faith.


What ever happened to personal responiblity and taking control of your own life with out the government interferring?

Because we deserve it.  We were born. Our parents took care of us.  Who else will?  We deserve to play video games all day and eat twinkies and not pay a dime for anything.  Simply because we were born.  We deserve to have A's in school because we occasionally show up.  We deserve to be paid high wages because we show up occasionally to work and do most of what we're asked if we feel like it.  We are cool people.  Why is there a government if they won't take care of us?


This will be read during the ceremony to honor those who have passed away.

For my wedding we had a candle made for the ceremony and bud vases for our table at the reception for his mother and grandmother and my grandparents That said In Loving memory of (their names) in a heart and then said Always in our thoughts forever in our hearts.


Me and my boyfriend were great like he always told me how much he cared about and how much he would never do anything to hurt our relationship and he came over friday and he said how much he didnt want to leave well before we started dating he had already had a date to his prom because we attend different schools well his prom was on saturday and friday night we just didnt want to let each other go and i told him how i was nervous about him going cause i knew i was going to lose him he promised everything would be ok but he acted really after that and monday night i had a great day and he called me at 10:30 at night and told me he didnt want a relationship but i found out a couple days ago that he was dating someone else im having a really hard getting over him and in even harder time trying to realize what went wrong. I just dont know what to do!

Then he is ONE of the HYPOCRITE CLUB members.\n\nAll this while he WAS lying to you. Sweet promises from your boyfriend.\n\nNow, he is gone. But please don't label ALL BOYS are like that, okay? There are a lot of boys out there who is SINCERE (like me :) ) in Love and all. \n\nIt wasn't your fault sweet heart. I'm so sorry :-( But cheer up, okay? We are here, to help you.\n\nYour situation is hard. I'm sorry to say that I don't think he is SINCERE relationship with you. One day, I believe God will PUNISH him. Don't worry sister, he will SUFFER.


This was my question:\n\n"Here's an easy 2 points"\n\nThen I left the following details:\n\n"Now you have the chance at the best answer... good luck"\n\nEverybody that answered loved it and came up with some clever answers. They removed the question because they said I was "gaming for points". \n\nAny thoughts on this or remarks I can pass on to the EVERY watchfull Staff?

No kidding?  Even if you were "gaming for points", why does it matter?  Do you win a million dollars or something if you have the most points?  There are some sick questions on here, and they're not "gaming for sex" or something like that.  Sorry...I feel dumb...don't wanna backspace.  Good luck, and I'm gaming for points, so give me an extra ten!


does any one know why the hydrocarbon molecules in bitumen which comes off at the bottom of a fractionation tower burn with a smokey flame?\n\nis this beacuse of incomplete combusion?

You are exactly right.  Since bitumen is such a heavy molecule with a long chain of carbon atoms, it is harder to atomize the bitumen to smaller individual particles to completely react with the oxygen.  So you are generally left with lots of smoke with combustion because the molecule did not fully react.  However, with the right conditions, it is possible to achieve a clean flame with bitumen.  You would have to heat it to a high temperature to reduce its viscosity, and atomize it into the flame using atomizing jets.


my guess is very few, most are from london/america/timbuctoo, as far away from manchester as possible!

take out nash, kobe, lebron, dirk, billups, etc. from their respective team and shuffle them up. which team and MVP candidate would benefit the most from this shuffle? (ex. nash in cleveland or lebron in dallas, you be the judge!!!)

I would think that Dirk would help another team more than any of the others you listed, his size and ability can't be compared to any other player in the league.   .....but Tim Duncan would improve any team in the league more than any other player period.

in multivariable implicit differentiation i have the following:\n3x^2z+y^3-xyz^3=1 and i have to find dz/dx and dz/dy.\nmy question is when differentiating  do i use the chain rule and get 6xz+3x^2(dz/dx)-(yz^3+(3z^2)xy(dz/dx))=0? or i am wrong

you are almost right - or maybe the end of your answer got cut off.\ndz/dx gives\n6xz+3x^2(dz/dx)\n-(yz^3+(3z^2)xy(dz/dx)=0\n\nthen just solve this equation for dz/dx


Tell me why! Their story, their looks, their personality?

Uhm I know!! You don't need to tell me this is no place for man, but I also watch classic disney movies, a lot! I'm not gay! :) And I choose Belle to be my wife, because she's simple, conservative, a singer, a dancer, a booklover, and most important of all, she's a princess! The wife of a horrible monstrous beast!! This is the best ever disney movie ever, although timon and pumbaa tried there best too. Beauty and the Beast, you won't see any movies as hilarious as a cup that talks, a clock that has a moustache? a candle that likes a sexy broom, and lastly love that has broken the spell which could end the life of the beast(actually a handsome prince who turns into a beast because of a spell). This movie has also a sad part aside from all those spoons and forks which Belle uses 3 meals a day.. yuk! hehe Oh well, I think I'm the first and might be the last male user to post an answer in this question! ;)\n\nEDITED: LOL I forgot to mention Gaston, the antagonist who eats 5,000 eggs a day to have large muscles! hahaha bummer x_X


During the plant's growth period, usually during the spring, storage organs such as the roots are sugar sources, and the plant's many growing areas are sugar sinks. The movement in phloem is bidirectional, whereas, in xylem cells, it is unidirectional (upward).A high concentration of organic substance inside cells of the phloem at a source, such as a leaf, creates a diffusion gradient that draws water into the cells. Movement occurs by bulk flow; phloem sap moves from sugar sources to sugar sinks by means of turgor pressure. A sugar source is any part of the plant that is producing or releasing sugar.

doing bodybuilding will it affeact me to grow taller?

Lifting weights does NOT affect your height.  Anyone who tells you it does is going on old school beliefs.  In the '50's people thought lifting weights made you bulky and slow and told athletes NOt to do it.  That is obviously wrong.  That same time is when people were told lifting weights could affect your height.  They were wrong about that one too.  Anyone up to date on research knows weightlifting is healthy.  PERIOD.  THe biggest tip I can give you, however, is stability must precede strength.  So... Stay away from machines, start with DB's, do squats on a Bosu ball, Push-ups off a swiss ball.  This work strengthens the small muscles that stabliize a joint and keep you "in the groove" when lifting.  Do a weeks of this type of work every couple months, it will keep you healthy.


Hello Everyone I just have to stay out of here today so I thought I would put one question out here and then get busy with my busy day. So here it is: "I want to make my life better and I have been a stay home mommy for 8 years and thoough it has been great I sometimes feel like I need to get back out there and make some money. Money is not everything but I do want the quality of my families life to improve,but keep them my main focus, I have office experience however it has been a long time as I said earlier. What can I do at 36 that will benefit my life and not take away from my kids? I am scared to death! Why I don't know I guess I feel a little insecure to be honest so does anyone have any really super great ideas for me? I hope everyone enjoys thier Friday and be safe. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok I think I am qualified to answer this since my wife was a stay at home Mom to our Daughter for the first 9 years!\nShe just went back to work this year. Not because of the money but she just was ready to try something else!\nShe had certain priorities though, it had to be a job that still allowed her to drop off and pick up our Daughter each day at school meaning she only works about 5 hours. She took her time and found a job, at another school! This way she if off on all of the holidays as well as summer time to.\nDon't be scared, take your time this summer and see what is out there that will work for you and the children too!\nYou sound like a wonderful Mother (just like my wife) and I hope you have a wonderful Mother's day.\nGood luck!


Quite a few of Il Divo's songs were written by him and each new one I hear becomes my favorite.  This group is sooooooooo talented that even though I haven't a clue as to the literal translation of their non-English songs, I would not be upset if I learned they were cursing me out -- THEY ARE AWESOME!!!

I think my new house may have been previously burnt down and I wanted to see if I could find the history of it somewhere.

Depending where you live you might consider your city offices for any building permits or property records. Also consider county offices and archives. You would probably start with previous tax records, building records or other property records. Maybe tax assesments from the county recorder might tip you. Overall, I think by starting in your city first they might also be able to point you in the right direction.


Thats all I keep hearing about...just wanted to know?

Finally some one else who thinks the sames as me.\n\ni don't know why but people seem to forget other illegal immigrants.\n\nChina\nPakistan\nJapan\nKorea\nIreland\netc.....\nI mean come on there are a sh*t load of different illegal immigrants from different countries not only Mexico.


I am trying to determine what options are available to someone who has applied for disability and have been denied.  The appeal process yielded the same results.

keep appeling. it took my mother 5 years to get hers but finally she did and they had to pay her for the entire time she was in appeal. DONT GIVE UP. ALWAYS APPEAL because if you do finally win they MUST pay from the date the case opened.


I've been taking anti-biotics for prostatitis for a several weeks now. My symptoms are better or worse on any given day and even fluctuate within an hour. Is this common? I'm afraid I'm developing chronic prostatitis that won't go away.

Dear sam5935,\nYou've certainly brought your medical concerns to the right place! The Y!A community members are fully aware of and do appreciate the intimate conditions involving your prognosis.\nMost recognized doctors in the field of medicine would employ a holistic approach to your contagion. sam5935, please begin your day with a well balanced breakfast to include an ample portion of fruits and grains. After your morning routines are finished, enjoy a brisk walk around the block. If you happen to meet any stray dogs along the way, it would be a good idea to antagonize the creatures in order to add some vigor to your workout.\nNow sam5935, the remaining portions of your day should be filled with interesting activities and new studies to keep your mind active and in balance, complimentary to what you have done with the physical side of yourself.\nAfter loitering around at the public library all afternoon with a bunch of smelly hobos, you can appreciate a warm bath and time to be good to yourself. Begin to collect an archive of various music genres that you can resolve one day to enjoy after you get the rest of your chores done.\nsam5935, if after following my advice, simply take two aspirin and forget we ever had this little discussion.\nThank you, sam5935. Have a great day!\n-viqueur


when you write to me we shall know each other better.

oh yeah we are gonna run right to you, you moron -stop with the perverted questions. kids dont advertise like that, you hard up bastard


Are there more dimensions that we cannot see just like certain animals can only see two dimensions and some animals cannot see colors..Why do Bats hear differnet frequencies, dogs hear things that we cannot hear. Why are we made like this? Does this mean we cannot see/hear the angels, gods, and goddesses becuase human eye/ear is not evolved. Is that all the mystery of God in this world that we were designed not to hear them or see them, but they live, run, co-exist in the same universe along with humans.

Certainly. Would be a total waste not to use all the possibilities. How much of the dimensions you see is I guess dependent on your awareness level, which in time probably increases. Now this goes into spiritualism, which is mainly speculation, but I think after you die, if you have gathered enough experience, you raise in awareness level, and the next time you are born in a body, it will be one, that is capable of "seeing" more dimensions.


sort of missed you Baby. kinda busy huh? No, I don't think it hurts but don't do so. Wait till you have enough teeth then you can really bite hard until the poor someone bleeds.


I'm shocked. For weeks now it should have been Elliot.

Yes I am really upset set about it i thought he should of at least make it to the top two.  He is better than then the rest of them. He'll probably have a better career than any of them after it said and over with. Hell, I'll be buying his CD.

Example :\n\nIs 6%5 faster than comparing 6 & 5? Please explain.

I'm sure that 6&5 is faster than 6%5 in all CPUs.\n\nIt can't be slower in any case because 6&5 is an elementary bitwise operation (instead of 6%5), which is counted in one cycle in all architectures I know.\n\nOn the other side, some processor can have specific instruction that counts 6%5 also in one cycle. In that case those operations will be equivalent.\n\nBut you can hardly notice this difference in usual programming.


were going to see bob dylan in kilkenny ireland in june for probably the 20 th time, we used to see him when we lived in the states in chicago we went to the poplar creek {spelt wrong} and he is the most awesome performer in the world and i will state not a good singer but what a performer. what do you think?

Bob Dylan is the greatest Singer/Songwritter ever. Period.  From Hibbing Minnesota, Bobs real Last name is Zimmerman.He changed his name to Dylan to honor Dylan Thomas (poet)\nHe is the greatest and the world of folk rock owes him a debt of grattiude for his works

GO TO ANOTHER DOCTOR... Please, get a second opinion, and have tests done.  That doctor was probably just trying to rush you out the door so he could go home earlier. There are fertility specialists out there waiting to help you.  SO go to another doctor, get your hormones checked out and get a referral for a fertility specialist from him. Good luck, and don't take no for an answer.


my gf says she sees my spirit watching her at night and she feels protected and safe at theses times. and she scents me around when shes scared and when shes sad and it makes her feel better. what dfo you think?

If you've got cell phones, have her call you at the times when she says she smells something and chart if there is any pattern. When she says she sees you, have her make note of everything that you do, and email it to you, and chart if there's anything. If no patterns emerge to indicate a karmic link, then your girlfriend could be a little loony, or just totally smitten\n\nbut maybe not\n\nFor a while, a friend and I maintained a karmic connection, and sometimes I would smell something, and call her up, and it was exactly what she was smelling.\n"Did you just make cookies?"\n"Was the dog just breathing in your face?"\n"Did you just disinfect something?"

Okay say you switched high schools the summer of your junior year (after sophomore years over). When you apply to college will the college want a transcript from your current and previous school or just your current school???? Please explain.

will need transcript from current school only, i believe, since that school should have full records of high school credit.  Just check with one college and find out or ask your high school counselor


It depends. Yahoo and google return very very similar results. MSN has a couple of more mismatches. But then again it depends on what you are searching for..


I'm running Windows XP and the following programs are on the task manager under Owner and I have no clue what they are here for. I did not list the ones I know.\nBartshel (three copies of it)\nGWMDMMSG\njusched\nDirectcd\nNavapw32\nhpgs2wnd\nWkUFind\nhpgs2wnf\nWkCalRem

Well here's what I could find:\n\nBartshel - bartshel.exe (one l) is apparently some kind of utility installed by People PC's dial-up service. You can remove it if you don't use People PC.\n\nGWMDMMSG - This is related to your modem drivers. Advisable to let it run. You could be connected to a Cable modem or a DSL modem or even a simple dial up.\n\njusched - Java Updater utility. Checks for Java Runtime updates regularly.\n\nDirectcd -  Roxio's packet writing software which allows the user to write and delete to CDs and DVDs as if they were a normal drive. Non essential so you could chunk it.\n\nNavapw32 - The navapw32.exe process runs in the background on start up of the machine. It checks for any tell tale signs of virus activity on your computer while you are using it. If this process is stopped Norton anti virus may not be able to detect any viruses entering your system. Consequently your computer will not be protected, so it is best to leave this process running.\n\nhpgs2wnd and hpgs2wnf - the executables corresponding to Hewlett-Packard's share-to-web software. This application allows a user to share photos to a secure Internet site. You could remove this if you do not use this feature from HP.\n\nWkUFind - process relating to Microsoft Picture-It.

Hi, I would like to know if there's a program that can automatically take a screenshot of the screen (Not active window, but whole screen) and send it to a specified email address every 1 hour interval. Please note that am not looking for keyloggers or things of this sort.  Any help from you will be much appreciated.  \n\nThank you all.

Well it sounds like you are prying because you are asking for screen shots, However a key-logger well be very useful to you and you can program it to take screen shots and no logging of keys in the option.... However key-logging is ILLEGAL and i am not condoning the use of such program
