I have no idea which is correct because I have no idea how you sing. ;)\n\nBut seriously......."badly" is the correct usage. It is an adverb used to modify "sing." It tells how you sing. "Bad" is an adjective form of the word. You can not use an adjective as an adverb. \n\n(Did I mention I'm an English teacher? haha)


it seems as though everytime i go to use the search bar on yahoo all my previous searches pop up..i want to make it stop...how??

I have a K8MM-V motherboard with a 2800 64 bit Athlon Sempron cpu. I shorted out the CMOS and then returned the jumpers to their original position with the power off, now I get no power at all when I turn on the system. How do I solve this, please?

Actually you didn't cut the power off. Because you still had the system battery pluged.  CMOS always has a power in it, unless you unplug the small system battery. This is how it can store current time, date, and basic hardware settings.\n\nI think that thing it is dead...

Im  very bright, well behaved girl and my mother is very protective of me.  Im not allowed to do even the small things like go to the movies with friends or go out to eat with friends or like anything at at all! I dont get in trouble and her reasoning for not letting me doing stuff is that she doesnt trust other people.  She says if i put on 50 lbs and put a paper bag over my head id be able to do more.  she says if i were ugly i could do more.  this really upsets me.  it is litera;;y making me go crazy and i cry almost every noght because im not allowed to do anything! and all my friends and lots of my family agree.  how can i get her to be more understanding?

Your mother is correct to not trust other people, to a point.  As a father of a young girl (and I don't know how old you are, not that it matters much) I worry everytime she goes out.  There are a lot of freaks in the world that think nothing of doing things to girls.\n\nThe way to get parents to give you a longer leash is respect, trust, honesty and promise to call in every 30 minutes (I would prefer 30 seconds from my daughter, but we all need to give a little).\n\nI have no doubt that your mother loves you very much and is looking out for your wellbeing.  That is what parents do, care for their children.  When it comes down to it, it doesn't matter what your friends and family say, it is what your parents say and if they say NO, then the answer is NO.


When I'm online I usually run @ about 50%.

First lets do a CTRL +ALT +DEL (CAD), see what processes are running.\n1. Chances are that there some programs which are running and which you do not need. (Startup programs should be as less, these programs start when computer starts), it can be messengers, and other softwares like desktop , webshots,etc)\n2. I hope you use proper fireall for surfing . In case you run on 50% only when u r on internet, it may be because of spyware attack on computer in lack of firewall.\nI hope I am clear you can ask me in case you want to know more.


I worked hard for that debate... and yet he had fun trashing it like some kind of dirt. I didn't sleep for 3 nights just thinking and finishing that... he gave me an F.

Does Cigarette smoking bring on a bout of numbness and arm muscle spasams

My Mom has MS and quit smoking.  Stress, temperature, poor eating habits ( one with a lot of fat content) will bring on more spasms for her. She started doing yoga and eating better and taking vitamins, and it all seemed to help.  Stress is the worst thing for her, or standing up for too long. Each person is different, with MS, though.  Smoking can't be good for you, irregardless of having MS.  My mom also says that 'bad things' like numbness and tingling and pain and spasms seem to come and go.  She had numbness in her torso for about a year, and than one day PooF!  it was gone.  Good luck. Be strong. She's had it for about 25 years, now, or so and still doing fine. She walks slower at times and she gets muscle spasms in her legs still.  She has a hard time sleeping on most nights,but overall, she is doing great.  She doesn't take any medication for it.


Lots of my male friends are heterosexual and they are horny and lonely in physics departments. We have trouble finding/meeting hot women. A big part is because we are losers. But apart from that, why are there mostly weird looking guys in physics departments?

when 'attractive women' touch physics, they become unattractive.


I got this song, emily, which they stated there, is sang by keane...but when i went to the official keane site, there is no album called ready sexed go, and yet, when i try googling it, they say the artist is the joykillers...im really confused now...pls answer my question...

According to www.allmusic.com, the album "Ready Sexed Go" is by the Joykillers.

i love to know why peope want tell the truth

first of all people tell lies so they can get out of a situation that is probably bad or to get revenge on someone and second of all people tell the truth to be honest to themselves and to be a good person


considering one side of the earth would be extreamly cold and the other would be extreamly hot and that all things not bolted down wold be launched into space leaving nothing or nobody to intreact with.

Well, I certainly wouldn't have to worry anymore about whether or not I turned the coffee maker off! Seriously, if the Earth stopped spinning on it's axis, there would be much larger factors at work & I'd be looking for the quickest way to get out of what was going to become an extremely unstable area of space! After all, assuming that I had a craft capable of long range travel, it might be left up to myself & whomever else might also be out on other missions to find a way to carry on the human race :)\n\nWhen I read the question the first thing I thought of was, "Pause.......BOOM!"


When reading some of these answers, they have put the books thatat times are questionable of their belief system, to supposedly answer their view of the  Bible, when if you read the Bible it doesnt always prove their other books. Even if they believe the Book of Mormon is inerrant, but to them the Bible is , why cant they prove their religion strictly by the Bible?Who really says the Bible is "errant"?

I think most people would admit that there are at least discrepancies in the Bible. Even between one version to another certain verses can mean totally different things. Really a lot has been lost from the Bible, however the LDS still believe it to be truth as far as it has been translated correctly. \n\nLDS people 'switch to their scriptures' when explaining their religion because they believe that the scriptures, particularly the Book of Mormon is the keystone of their religion. \n\nIt still doesn't 'prove' anything. Nothing can 'prove' the LDS religion except for faith. The Book of Mormon is often the path that people follow in developing that faith. \n\nIf you want to learn more about the Book of Mormon and why the LDS care so much about it, then by all means read it. It's an interesting read, often complex in it's story and plot, but simple in the gospel principals it bears testimony of. \n\nYou can find out more about the LDS faith and get a Book of Mormon by visiting www.mormon.org.

How many mL of 0.30M HCl(aq) are needed to neutralize a solution of 238.50mL of 1.35M barium hydroxide?\nANSWER is 2.1×10^3\n\nNow here is part of the question I need help with:\n\nCalculate the molarity of the chloride ion ion present in the solution that results from mixing the proper volume of HCl (aq) with the solution of barium hydroxide specified in the preceding problem.

Well lots of chemistry questions lately....finals coming up? :)  Good Luck!!!  \n\nTo calculate this type of question first of all calculate the #of moles of HCl used.  So \nyou used 2100 mL = 2.1 L HCl \nThis HCl is 0.3 mol/L so you used:\n\n2.1 L HCl* (0.3 mol HCl/L) = 0.63 mol HCl\n\nnow use the ratio of Cl/HCl  (which is 1 to 1)\n\n0.63 mol HCL *(1mol Cl/1mol HCl)= 0.63 mol Cl ion\n\nSo far so good I hope.  \n\nNow do your solution diltion to calculate volume,\n2.1L + .2385L = 2.3385 L of mixed solution\n\nNow simply divide \n0.63 mol Cl/2.3385 L solution = 0.269 mol Cl ion in final solution.\n\nAgain these numbers are quick and dirty but the method of solving this type of problem is the same.


I am having a hard time finding a gift in that size.

I think the opposite is true.  I believe it's a larger size than normal for women, and so there is less demand.  Because of that, shoe manufacturers are likely to produce less of them.  That is probably why you're having trouble locating many.


when you try to write something really long, why cant you always send it all, just portions of it?\nit happened to me today. i put 1 and a , and many 000 to make a huge number, but when i tried to send it but it sended only part of the 1,000's so that was poitless doing all of the 1,000s....why does it do it and how to prevent it

its dose the same thing to me! try typing a little bit slower.thats what i do. somtimes your fingers are faster than the computers mind. or you could just type less.


ive been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years and we are planning on getting married. yet every once in awhile i will get like a crush on another guy.usually someone im around alot. A friend of mine told me this is normal...im hoping she is right!!! anyone know???

there's  a big difference between a crush and love. a crush is merely an infatuation or admiration of the persons physical attributes or good personality. but you've been with your guy for 4 long years and there is no doubt that u really love him.  just dont let this tiny feeling for your crush get in the way of your relationship. guys have crushes too..


i hate it.. we have no identity \ni cant even do my job without having to learn how to speak spanish.. i thought i was in an english speaking country

Well that would be thanks to the bleeding heart liberals who sing the "america is a melting pot" song.\nFact is american born americans are the minority..and being told to learn THEIR language is wrong.\nThey want to come to America learn the language and the culture,and no job preferences either, because America should not be changing for anyone.


Without knowing what type of instrumentation, its difficult to say.  But, it is likely to be what it sounds like.  Something to hold a loaded item in the center of its loading location.


Maybe too filter out certain songs?  Remember, V-Chips are user-optional.

They could simply ask the user to state they were over 18 like they do for adult profiles. I asked them this question a few times and they never even responded with a reason.

when i asked him he was surprised I asked him and he said yes (right away).  he did not tell me what day we will go out he only said we will have enough time to go out. should i ask him what he meant by this or should i wait until he says something.

If you asked me on a date, I would have made arrangements to make it a night that you would want to date me again.I think he was in shock, to be asked and just put some icing on your attempt to get him through that situation,which is very wrong...You need to ask him if he is joking you or not,and be straight forward with him...Whatever you do,don't wait around for the answer,because there are many men that will not turn you down...Unfortunately I would,because I am married to that girl that asked me out...lol

Things like who got the first hit in a major league baseball game, first homerun, etc.

The First game under what would become the standard rules was played in 1849 at Elysian Fields in Brooklyn New York. The first Professional game was played in May 1871 between the Cleveland Forest City's and the Fort Wayne(Indiana) Kekiongas FT.Wayne won 2-0. The National League would be formed in 1876 and the American League in 1901. The First team to play for money was the Cincinnati Red Legs who were formed in 1869.\nAs to who had the first pro hit etc. the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown New York would have those answers.


I have made a website for a client, who while claiming to be 100% happy with my work, and even had agreed to the original estimate of work, has not paid in full and has begun lagging/stopping at continuing to make payment for the work that was done. The work is located on the client's webhost account which I have access to. Is it legal to temporarily shut down the website until payment has been remitted in full?\n\nI understand that I could take the client to small claims court, but even that is no guarantee of payment coming due. Meanwhile, the client is getting what amounts to free advertising.\n\nBoth myself and the client live and work in NJ, and the webhost resides in CA.\n\nAny advice would be appreciated.\n\nThanks!

...I have had my own personal experiences, I want yours too.

Cocaine and Crack\nCocaine is a white crystalline powder made from the dried leaves of the coca plant. Crack, named for its crackle when heated, is made from cocaine. It looks like white or tan pellets. \n\nStreet Names for Cocaine: coke, snow, blow, nose candy, white, big C\n\nStreet Names for Crack: freebase, rock\n\nHow They're Used: Cocaine is inhaled through the nose or injected. Crack is smoked.\n\nEffects & Dangers: \n\nCocaine is a stimulant that rocks the central nervous system, giving users a quick, intense feeling of power and energy. Snorting highs last between 15 and 30 minutes; smoking highs last between 5 and 10 minutes. \nCocaine also elevates heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. \nInjecting cocaine can give you hepatitis or AIDS if you share needles with other users. Snorting can also put a hole inside the lining of your nose. \nFirst-time users - even teens - of both cocaine and crack can stop breathing or have fatal heart attacks. Using either of these drugs even one time can kill you. \nAddictiveness: These drugs are highly addictive, and as a result, the drug, not the user, calls the shots. Even after one use, cocaine and crack can create both physical and psychological cravings that make it very, very difficult for users to stop.


has russia same ambitions in the world as soviet union?

Russia might have same ambitions as the erstwhile USSR, but it is certainly not the same power as USSR, economically, technically and most importantly politically. \n\nAnd I think this is a fact that no one can deny now. Also, the problems with other breakaway nations of USSR has made it weaker.


That is for wives that are pre-menopause.

First, we dont call out Bible the 'Old Testament' because we dont believe there is a new one.\n\nHowever, yes, the Orthodox Jewish community still follows the laws you describe above.\n\nBy the way, this means that for roughly 2 weeks each month, a Jewish couple who follow this law will not have sex as an issue between them. It means that for half of each month, they must relate to each other as platonic friends, and this makes the relationship far stronger, and is one reason given for the very low divorce rate throughout the  history of the Jewish People. Only since the Jews have assimilated, become like their non-Jewish neighbors, has the divorce rate risen to the same rate as among their non-Jewish counterparts, but continues to remain low among the orthodox.


I've tried some softies but which made the comp power up but the comp said "Please select proper boot device and press any key when ready". Why is the boot device not selected properly?

This generally happens when you have the WOL (Wake on Lan) setting set to PXE boot.  You need to go into the BIOS and change the WOL settings to use the proper device.  It is separate from the BIOS boot order.  If the motherboard does not support it, you will need to setup a PXE boot server to point it back locally if need be.


Does one take a tax deduction for riding the train to work or school here in Georgia?

Of course it depends on the time spent in a shower and the water flow.

And isn't the term 'wintery mix' just another way of saying we don't know what the hell is going to happen?\n\nAnd why do they take credit for good weather like they're freakin' mother nature or something?

Well, weather forcasters are much better at predicting the weather since they were 20 years ago, but even with high technology, weather is hard to predict because the atmosphere is changing every minute, tha'ts why forcasters update their forcast that often through the day.

i moved to upper maryland in the spring of 2005 and now my best friend and i still try to keep our friendship going, we live tweo and a half hours away, is it really worth it?

My best friend also lives about 2 1/2 hours away. We've been best friends since we were 6 years old and we are 26 now. We are on the same cell-phone plan, so we can talk mobil to mobil all the time. I also found that moving away from home changed me. I made new friends, but noone KNEW me the way my best friend does.It will just naturally survive the distance if the friendship is true.


I need to buy a new computer and wonder which (if any) of Microsoft's Operating Systems can really utilize the new dual core processors.  If there are any currently available can you also point me to additional resources where I can learn more about the benefits of using that OS on a dual core processor?  Thanks.

Right now, the only one built for it is Windows XP 64, but I wouldn't waste my money on it. it has close to no driver support and it was designed too quickly in order to come out for the processor. Wait for Vista to come out. That is where you will get to see the real difference.

I need a website that involves interactive learning and computer simulation with any software.

I want to network few computers which are in a room. I want that one of them should be a server and all computers will be connected through internet from that computer. how could i create a domain so that all computers connect through that domain. Or is there any other way to network them?

there is no need to create a domain in order to do this, If you have DSL you may share your internet to all your computer with a DSL router and a HUB or switch, If you have a DialUp you may share your internet with a proxy software on the computer conected to the internet and a hub or switch, the term Domain is used to describe a set of computer with the same internet name and can be on diferent networks, the term Domain for Windows also include security issues and common policies for the computers.


When I was on this marine corp regimen I could, at one time, go for two miles.  Now I can barely jog a half a mile.  I tried to find the regimen I was on but a can't.  Does anyone know were I can this regimen or mabye a new and better one?\n\nTHANX

This method worked well for me when I was starting up my running again after about 5 years.  Clock with a car both the 1/2 mile spot that you can currently make and then the 2 mile distance goal.  Each day you run try to go a minimum of 15 seconds longer. If you happen to be running in a neigborhood, you can use mail boxes as your markers and try to go a minimum of 4 mail boxes/homes further each time you run.\n\nAfter you have hit your marker goals walk the rest of the 2 miles or do a combination of walking and running.  Just make sure you go the full distance.  You will start to see the finish line as something you strive for.  (you'll also see yourself trying to "end it" quicker :)\n\nWhen I first started out I thought it was going to take me a month before I got to the end, in actuality, it took only a couple of weeks.\n\nBest of luck!


I'm looking for ideas for using some of Yahoo's services such as email and MyWeb in the classroom.  I want to create a safe educational and interactive online environment for my students.  Any ideas and free or low cost resources would be greatly appreciated.

Usually to sleep with a guy who gives them the exact oposite

Because after getting a man or woman to provide them with all these thing, especially when they get all this without helping out in building up a relationship , they believe they can find some other fool to give them better. And alot of the time they are right. But check back with these pathetic souls a little later in life and you will find them lonely and alone. But they still end of with a substantial amount of money and security from the previous marriages. Not a bad gamble on they're part. I really think they plan it before they ever go on a date and smarten up guys, they DO. Just like when you were a teenager thinking about one day settlling down with someone and giving them everything, these leeches were planning on their first divorce and how much they're gonna get. The secret is to never give a girl or guy every thing they want unless they are truly giving you every thing YOU want and please guys (and girls) want more than to spoil a full grown eventually blown partner into telling you those faithful words.... I'm not happy. Make them WORK for your love to. Watch out


The name "Dula" is my last name, and i've been wondering about orgin and history behind it. I've search the internet under "names and meanings" but I couldn't get a clear answer. None of my family members seem to know the meaning behind this name. Not even my grandfather.

Could it be a variant of the word Doula?\n\nA doula is a woman who assists another woman during labor and provides support to her, the infant, and the family after childbirth.\n\nIt comes from the early Greek word for woman servant.

Moodlogic was this great software that automatically created playlists based on the emotional and auditory qualities of a song.  You want sad rock music, you got it.  You want upbeat music like The Beatles Revolution, here you go.  Better, it could limit playlists by any combination of things you could come up with.  It sampled your song library to create these lists.\nNothing has been heard from them for years.  I miss the great potential this softare had.  Any ideas? \nHave you found something similar?

Yes & No\nGenerally onlive love is just a passtime nothin' else but it all depends on  which kind of person you are . if you really admire inner beauty , you will be bitten by love bug just by knowing a person's thoughts on internet

i heard from a basketball coach once that if you take a bath and put asprin caplets in the water it will help reduce soreness the next morning. is it true?

Forget the aspirin tablets! Take a mineral salt bath! Better yet take a bath with a 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup sea salt.(available at health food stores or the health section of your local grocer.)You can find an array of pre-mixed bath salts to ease sore muscles. Don't forget about meditating and breathing deep to re-oxiginate muscles. Most important drink all your daily 8 glasses of h20 a day! Namaste.


I have an attorney, but I am still waiting for results after two and a half years

That's absolutly terrible!  I think you need to get a better lawyer.  2 1/2 years is ridiculous.  He needs to stop playing around, and get this resolved for you so you can get closure and begin to heal.  Check out this link below it's for the National Organization for Victims Assistance they promote the rights of victims of crime and crisis everywhere.  I know it sounds superheroish but they should be able to help or at the very least point you in the right direction.  If you just need to talk to someone, the churches in your city, any denomination, can help.  They are always willing.  Good luck!


I have enough jewelry so I'm not interested in having the stones used to make another piece. I could use some extra cash but fear being taken advantage of as I've never done this before.

Sell it on eBay, but look first to see if similar items are being sold, and for what price.  That will give you an idea of a starting bid for yours.

I just found out I have a warrent out for my arrest, if I turn ,myself in will I have to sit in jail, or just pay a fine?  The reason for the warrent is because I didnt show up for court.

Usually a "failure to appear" warrant will not result in jail time unless you have many prior failure to appears and they can show a pattern or if the failure to appear is on a serious felony crime or a crime in witch you are out on bail. Now either way it will be better for you to turn yourself in. However do not turn yourself in on a friday as this may result in sitting in jail until monday. Also I would call the court clerk and try to reschedule an appearance before I turned my self in to show that you did make an effort. Oh yea it is also bad if the appearance is for sentencing. They really frown on ditching accountability. In addition by turning yourself in you avoid all the hassle of having your car towed away and impounded if you are pulled over while drving. Don't panic! Especially if this is a minor offense. The courts and jails are so jammed up with truly bad people they have no time or room to lock people up for minor offenses. Even if it seems really bad to you. I assume that it is minor because you don't seem to have much experience dealing with the law. I personally have been pulled over with a valid warrant and the officer just cited and released me. However I have also seen people get hauled in friday night and have to wait til the offices open up Monday morning to be released with nothing more than a new court date. Anyways good luck and stay low until Monday.


I was hired in as an inventory specialist Aug.04. My work hours were generally 8a-1p Mon.-Fri.I specified no weekends or nights, was given the job. The asst. took over as man.and another employee took over asst. These 2 decide changes need to be made, they had other employees doing my job and stock got all messed up. I tried talking to man. and asst. and got nowhere, left a note saying if you can't do this right then don't bother. This made my man. mad, so he took me off inventory, cut my hours to 8/wk, and is refusing to pay partial unemp.,and have decided to have me work weekends without any explanation. 2 males were hired and work 25-32hrs./wk I am a 44 yr. old female.I am good at my job. I made a dr. appt. to get on Prozac. what else can I do?

They can fire you at any time if you were hired as an at will employee. Have you talked to your Human Resource Manager about the problem, that is a good place to start. If the problem is that bad that it is causing you to seek help, you can go through the EEO for help.


In Iowa, after the Foreclosure Certificate is filed and returned how long before the sale of the house?\n\n\nMy husband's ex-wife's house is being foreclosed on. The clerks certificate of foreclosure has been filed and is on record. We are in the state of Iowa. We are trying to find out when the house will actually be sold at auction. We are wanting to know so we will know when the kids will have to be moving and etc.\n\nThanks,\nCrystal L.

This is state specific but on average the redemption period is about a year.  The occupant can stay in the house the whole time and they can buy it back durring that year if they find the financing.  If they can't find financing in that year only then can they actualy get booted from the house.\n\nA whole year mortgage payment free, not a bad deal to get back on your feet.  Forclosures look pretty bad on credit though and unless they have a ton of equity almost no mortgage company will help.\n\nHope that answers your question.

It was the Power of Dream by Celion Dion


We were also roomates last year and when she got back from class, she would not even say hello.  I tried to make small conversation and she would just say yes, no, or pretend she didn't hear me.  Her boyfriend lived about an hour away, so she would leave right after class everyday to go.  Even when she was getting ready she wouldn't talk. So now that she moved in with him, i never see or talk to her, but I really want to tell her how she really hurt me and I don't know if I should just let it go or if I should call her where she could just hang up on me or go to her home, which is about 2 hours away, should i write a letter to tell her? I just don't know what to do and I don't think that I will feel better until i get it off my chest.

Sounds like she's mad at you for some reason.  Now she doesn't have the decency to tell you what happened.  Don't worry about it.  Write her off.  Move on.  You'll be okay.


I don't get anything out of it..that I know of anyway.

Because it is addicting, fun, and competitive. We all need more of these things in life. Oh yeah, and you nprobably want the recognition too!


I think yes..could be a good answer...If we compare ourselves to..Earth..our solar system..our galaxy..We are very young put next to the planet's age and even more young when compared to the universe..Are we human beings the ONLY intelligence in the universe?..No..we are a primitive species...and there are far greater intelligent beings that do not originate from Earth..We are not alone..

Is there a proper way to wear your watch...or was there?  Today many will say that it's based on whether one is right or left handed, but was there ever an etiquette guideline?

I have the problem of been unable to install DirectX9c over my DirectX9b. the instalation says its done but the old version still remains. please let me know how you did it. how did you fix the direct play error as well?

Have you tried using Windows Update to get it?  That's how I got it and I had no problems.\n\nAs far as I know once Directx is installed it becomes part of the operating system and cannot be removed but can be replaced by newer versions.  I'm not sure what is going on but someone here must have the answer.\n\nHowever, if you are so inclined you can download a third party tool (not free, $13) to remove directx 9b.  If it works you should be able to install 9c.

Which books should I read ? How to arrange the whole precess?

Get some of the prep books. I used the books offered by Princeton Review, Kaplan, and Barrons. Also, do a lot of the practice tests. Make sure and study harder for the sections that are more difficult for you. Study a lot of vocabulary, because that will really help you in the verbal section.


personally i think it should be scrapped, taking the life of a criminal makes you not better than the criminal...

I agree with you there. The death penalty is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment. It violates the right to life. It is irrevocable and can be inflicted on the innocent and has never been shown to deter crime more effectively than other punishments.\nCheck out the link below & help to protest.


i woke up with him on top of me and his***** inserted in my cl*t

Thats not Cool. It would be legaly considered rape.Just because he's your boyfriend dosent give him the right to take advantage of you. You could explain to him that he got the wrong signal from you.Maybe you should have explained your stance on sex before you slept with him in the same bed...but dont think that its your fault.He shouldnt have done that with out your permission.

Creating the reseller program requires an online interface to register new resellers and provide administration for existing resellers. The interface program must gateway to a merchant account and payment processing. A distribution of products and services as well as payments must be seamless and above question.

It's bad for the environment, but I don't care.

Quite a few years back during the cold war such a engine was designed, built, and Patented by Westinghouse.\nThis engine/reactor was smaller than a 55 gal. barrel and kinda cute.\nDo you know that back then, an idea being promoted, was a reactor in every home. (Big Business quashed this one)\nEveryday, reporting to work we workers seen a model displayed in the Lobby.\nThe technology is complete and viable, but I suspect the Carter Presidential Era put the brakes on using it and we never got a chance to use it due to the incorrect media generated danger of Nuclear Energy.


Chuck Norris kicks SO much a$$ that when a stand in stunt double was going to give him a much needed respite, Chuck gave him a round house kick to the left temple, and completed his decimation of the entire village ne'er-do-wells.

-Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.\n\n-Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter he grew a beard.\n\n-When Chuck Norris plays Oregon Trail his family does not die from cholera or dysentery, but rather roundhouse kicks to the face. He also requires no wagon, since he carries the oxen, axels, and\nbuffalo meat on his back. He always makes it to Oregon before you.\n\n-Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction\nwas finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker\nevery second Wednesday of the month.\n\n-Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK's head exploded out of sheer\namazement.\n\n-Chuck Norris recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull.\n\n-A man once asked Chuck Norris if his real name is "Charles". Chuck Norris did not respond, he simply stared at him until he exploded.\n\n-To prove it isn't that big of a deal to beat cancer. Chuck Norris smoked 15 cartons of cigarettes a day for 2 years and aquired 7\ndifferent kinds of cancer only to rid them from his body by flexing for 30 minutes. Beat that, Lance Armstrong.\n\n-Chuck Norris was the fourth Wiseman. He brought baby Jesus the gift of "beard". Jesus wore it proudly to his dying day. The other Wisemen, jealous of Jesus' obvious gift favoritism, used their combined influence to have Chuck omitted from the Bible. Shortly after all three died of roundhouse kick related deaths.\n\n-Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits\n\n-Chuck Norris once shot a German plane down with his finger, by yelling, "Bang!"\n\n-The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.\n\n-After much debate, President Truman decided to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima rather than the alternative of sending Chuck Norris. His reasoning? It was more "humane".\n\n-Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.\n\n-When God said, "Let there be light", Chuck Norris said, "say please


I think the person who asked this question is a kid. So I really hope we will not be confusing him. First of all we all must leave the God thing for everything we ever explain to kids. First of all we all know in our hearts we never saw him neither can prove it or disprover it. But one thing I can scientifically prove is that giving reason as God for everything for kids defnitely makes them dumb.\n\nComing to the question. The question was very very good one. Yeah there is a very very good physics reason for this. When a water drop falls it will form into a sphere so that it will minimize its surface area. As we know different shapes have different surface areas. If you go on streatching a bubble of soap its surface will go on increasing until it blasts. So everything in the Universe will tend to get to minimal energy. So for earth or Moon to rotate around other object it assumes a circular shapes, But its not necessary. some asteroids made of hard rock or material will not take a circular shape and so they will not always rotate in circular ( I mean close to circular ) paths. But many objects in Universe from the day of their formation are circular. How this is possible is that, the earth is just a part of sun. One big flicker of hot gases escaped and freezed to become hard material and its obvious for it to take that shape. And Moon is extra terrestrial object that comes from a solar system not of our own but from a place far far away that we dont know, so we can expect similar things happend before it was formed and let go to our solar system.\n\nYou can see similar effect if you light candle in free space where there is no gravity, but there is some oxygen. The drops that candle gives off will form circular objects and eventually it will frees to form small sphers of candle.....\n\nEnjoy boy.\nYou are welcome to ask such a questions.\n\nIf you are a kid as I guessed, you have long way to go before you reach high, but keep questioning everything.


THEY ARE PERSONALLY ATTACKING HER BECAUSE SHE HAS A DIFFERING OPINION.  I THINK IT'S SICK!  HAVE SOME COMPASSION, SHE LOST HER SON!

I don't think she is being smeared.  She experienced a terrible loss, one no parent should have to experience.  Yet, her own actions are somewhat questionable.  She certainly has a right to protest, say, and belive what she wants, but she tends to be controverisla and fabricate facts.  Of greatest controversy is an incident about which Sheehan's detractors claim she has lied. In March, 2005, James Morris sent an e-mail, written by Sheehan, to ABC's Nightline that allegedly included the statements that Casey "was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel" and that he had "joined the Army to protect America, not Israel." Sheehan claims that the email was modified by James Morris to support his own personal agenda, and that she did not write the statements about Israel and a "PNAC Neo-con agenda."  However, James Morris denies altering the email before sending it along to Nightline  on Sheehan's behalf (per her request for him to do so). Two other individuals, Tony Tersch and Skeeter Gallagher, received a copy of Sheehan's email directly from her; both claim that the e-mail they received is consistent with Morris's story, rather than Sheehan's. Tersch posted the email he received to the "bullyard" Google group.  Opponents of Sheehan assert that this essentially proves that she has repeatedly lied about the content of her original e-mail.\n\nSheehan also gave a speech on August 5, 2005, at the Veterans for Peace convention in Texas, stating, "You get America out of Iraq, you get Israel out of Palestine". \n\nShe seems to hvae an agenda against Israel, which, again, is her right - but then she needs to be clear and forthcoming and not try to use the horrible loss of her son as an excuse to somehow tie the Iraq war to events such as Israel and palestine.

how can you remove or stop appletts from appearing across the monitor

Applet session manager will control applets tied to the lifetime of the panel. Such applets include the clock applet and weather applet. They will be spawned by the applet-session-manager (which will probably be simply part of gnome-panel). User requests to add or remove these applets will be handled by a-s-m. a-s-m will not add or remove applets without user interaction, except to start them when the panel is born and to shut them down when the panel dies. It should also reload crashed applets.\n\nApplet-hardware-manager\nApplet hardware manager will be similar to applet-session-manager but will control applets tied to the lifetime of hardware, such as a wireless card or cpu frequency scaling. a-h-m will listen to events from HAL. When HAL indicates that a new piece of hardware has been plugged in, a-h-m will let gnome-panel display the applet for that hardware in it's last position, if it's a new applet, a-h-m will let gnome-panel automatically position it in the default location on the panel (auto packing dependant). It will be possible to disable the display of hardware applets through their preferences (eg, if they don't want the cpufreq applet displayed) a-h-m will remove the applet and remember this setting, it will not display the applet for this hardware next time.


So I have 2 houses. At one, I have an Apple Mac. I don't get smileys or emoticons. At the other, I have a Dell Microsoft Windows, and I do have smileys or emoticons. How do I get smileys or emoticons on my Apple Mac?

it could be that the version of YIM (yahoo instant messenger) is for Windows and not for Mac, if thats the case than just go to messenger.yahoo.com. and under the Link that you click on to download the Messenger, you should see a link (Mac, Unix), Mac is the one you would want to click on, if you see it saying (Windows , Unix) than just try reinstalling it again


There are third-party programs out there that allow people to download other people's iTunes songs through Wi-Fi networks. Can they monitor this, and have there been any reports of them suing for it?

The key difference for iTunes is that any illegal song sharing does not take place over the publicly available internet. Instead, it requires two people to physically be on the same network, a network which the RIAA has no right to be on and could not monitor even if they were on it.

I was at our local Military base's museum (located at Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg, MS) and I noticed an M1 Garand on display with a "Grenade lauching attachment".  The Garand looked authentic, however the grenade and launcher looked like something from the Korean War, or Vietnam conflict timeline.  Not too sure.  But it said right in the display, "M1 Garand equipped with a grenade lauching attachment."  So, did the M1 Garand have the ability to fire a grenade with this so called "Attachment"?  Thanks for your time.

Yes it did.  It spun into the barrel and there was a special round that was placed in the chamber that armed the grenade


You are in the early stages of the addiction.  I believe you also suffer from the need to accumulate useless information and Yahoo Answers feeds the need.


I've been given bogus answers all my life. I'm ready for a real one!!!

It is called Rayleigh Scattering, or Molecular scattering.  This is primarily caused by oxygen and nitrogen molecules, whose effective diameters are at least 0.1 times smaller than the effected wavelengths.  Rayleigh scattering is most influential at the alitudes above 4.5 km, occuring in what is called the pure atmosphere.  The amount of Rayleigh scattering is highly selective, being inversely proportional to the fourth power of wavelength.  Consequently, invisible ultraviolet radiation, at a wavelength of 0.3 micrometers, is scattered 16 times as readily as red wavelengths at 0.6 micrometers.  In the visible spectrum, blue wavelengths at 0.4 micrometers are scattered about five times as readily as red wavelengths at 0.6 micrometers.  The preferential scattering of blue wavelengths explains why the clear sky appears blue in daylight.  The blue wavelengths reach our eyes from all parts of the sky.


Why is the Bible so fundamentally different between the Old Testament and the New Testament? For instance, the OT describes a monotheistic God, and the NT describes a polytheistic God.\n\nThat's just one example but it's obvious that there is a fundamental change in the nature of God and Man between the two sections, yet Christians insist there is none.\n\nSo how can one reconcile the change of an unchanging God?

Absolutely right. But have you noticed that this is only in the religous studies of the Christians. Following the beliefs of other cultures with the absence of a "rule book" the belief takes a completely different stance. Multiple gods are not inherent to fundamental change in the nature of God and Man. So does that mean the Christian beliefs are right or wrong? Maybe the old non-Christian beliefs have the answere.

We know that the universe is expanding due to our knowledge of how light acts when the source is moving toward us or away from us (Doppler Effect). But science has much to answer about how all this has happened, like what caused the big bang and what was there before the big bang. I have heard that some scientist admit that God might have to be part of the explanation or equation. \n\nWhat do you think?

I like to think at the moment that the 'Big Bang' just blew a physical dimmention on top of our then existing dimentions, and 'we' took physical form...


I am a USA citizen.  At times, I have felt more welcomed to visit other countries than the USA of makes people from other countries feel to visit here.  This has struck a negative nerve with me about my own country.  Have you ever felt the same way?  Besides "911" and "illegal workers," and the like, what's your feeling about how it "ought to be?"

Well, for one thing, I feel all immigrants should be able to prove they have no contagious, uncurable diseases (and I do not mean colds, I mean deadly or disabilitating ones).  Also, they should be able to speak enough English to get a job, and have some sort of skills that would enable them to get a job, instead of having the working people support them.  Also, a criminal background check should be done, and if they have a history of violent crimes (murder, rape, etc) they should not be allowed in.  Other crimes (shoplifting,etc) would be reviewed, and for those types of crimes, things like how long ago the crime was committed, how many times they committed the crime, etc, should be considered.  (Example: arrested once for a monir crime, they can come in.  But if they are a career criminal, no, do not allow them on.)  Tht's just my opinion.

Its an older movie...maybe 70's early 80's \nIs about a pyramid or a tombe being build in i think Egypt but am not sure in early times. You see a lot of the workers and how its build and ends with the pyramid/tomb doors being closed with a nifty/smart system of rocks falling and breaking bottles and then sand runs away under doors and doors closed. Prolly with the dead guy /pharao and some living servents/slaves behind it but not sure about that. Hope you can help....would like to see it again but really cant remember much of it.

would anyone continue and re-enroll in the Prime service?

I have used the Amazon.com Prime service for about 3 or 4 months now.  I will continue to re-enroll year after year.  One nice thing about prime is that you can add other members of your household to your prime subscription even if they have a different Amazon.com account.  I believe they just have to have the same address as you.\n\nWith prime you get free two-day shipping and one-day shipping for $3.99 per item.  There are some items on Amazon that are not eligible for prime shipping.  Most items are eligible.  (I haven't come across an item I wanted to order that wasn't eligible.)  I usually order items with one-day shipping.  As long as I order before 4:30pm PST I will receive my items the next day.  A little known secret is that if you pay the $3.99 for one day shipping and it doesn't arrive in one day, they will refund your $3.99.  You just have to contact customer service.\n\nAnother little known secret about Amazon is that if you order something that goes on sale within 30 days of your purchase, they will refund you the difference.  You have to contact customer service to let them know.  Amazon Prime is highly recommended!

I know the obvious answer is to evict them, but, they say they are having financial hardship.  Do i ask for the rest of the rent next month, or should i set them on a payment plan?

Being in Real Estate...I can tell you, know your local/state landloard/tenant laws. It can take 3 months to evict a tenant in default in MN. As a tenant myself, I have taken a landloard to court and he ended up paying me 3x the amount of the deposit provided in good faith...WHY 3x the amount?...I learned the laws (and there was no internet for research in 92), and requested the judge enforce the option. Do give them a break based on payment history/trust factors. Nothing wrong w/doing that on paper either. Offer them to work some of it off: Snow shovel, lawn care, paint, ect. That may in itself prompt them to settle-up ASAP, or give you a break from those chores. Start by doing your part as a landlord first. Lead the way.

Writing this from scratch would involve getting a complete zipcode database with lattitude/longitude. These will approximate zipcode areas.\n\nOnce you have 2 points, you apply Pythagorean Theorem:\n\na^2 + b^2 = c^2\n\nthus, for two points (a,b) and (c,d) in an x/y coordinate system, the straight-line distance between those points is:\n\n $distance = sqrt(pow((a-c),2) + pow((b-d),2)); \n\nSince there are 100,000 possible zipcodes, you don't want to perform the calculation above for all combinations. That would be far too costly. We have to find a way to reduce the number of possible zipcodes before we find the ones to check.\n\nIf your desired maximum radius is $r, and your starting lat/long is $x_start, $y_start, then you know the coordinates of all target zipcodes must be within the box defined by\n\n($x_start - $r/$k, $y_start - $r/$k) and ($x_start + $r/$k, $y_start + $r/$k)\n\nwhere $k is the number of miles (or km) per degree of lat/long. That is, the circumference of the earth divided by 360. (I know, it's approximate, and not the same for lat as long, but you get the idea) We'll call this $r/$k = $R\n\nThus you can first select only those zipcodes from your database:\n\nselect zip, x, y from ziptable where x between $x_start - $R and $x_start + $R and y between $y_start - $R and $y_start + $R\n\nYou could go one step further and have MySQL do your work for you.\n\nselect zip, sqrt(pow(x - $x_start, 2) + pow(y - $y_start, 2))*$k as distance from ziptable where x between $x_start - $R and $x_start + $R and y between $y_start - $R and $y_start + $R order by distance\n\n\nThat will give you the zipcodes you're looking for within the radius you specify.\n\nObviously you must modify to suit your needs.


I have a camper in the woods that I would like to rent out as a vacation rental.  I created a web site but when I do a search for it under the most common key words, it does not show up.  How can I get it to show within the first few pages that contain 150,000 results?

It's very difficult for a small website to get a high ranking on search engines. You might try optimizing your page to include "unusual" key phrases that are relevant to your site ( e.g. camper rental <yourlocation> ). However, you are probably best to consider posting a listing on some of the commercial vacation rental websites. Compare Owner Holiday Rentals ( http://www.compareownerholidayrentals.com ) gives you a lot of information on the various options, depending on your location. In addition, they can give you a list of "free" sites, if you want to try those rather than paying for a listing up front.


does it need to surface in order to breath?

The Bottlenose whales and Sperm whales can stay underwater for almost 2 hours on long dives. Most of the large whales, like the Blue whale and the Fin whales, rarely stay down longer than 40 minutes while large dolphins such as the Bottlenose dolphin usually stay down for less than 15 minutes. The smaller Common dolphin dives for less than 3 minutes.\n\nThe longest recorded dive by a whale (Guinness Book of Records) was that of a Sperm Whale. On 25th August 1969 a bull Sperm Whale surfaced from a dive lasting 1 hour 52 minutes.

These days there are 100's if not 1000's of CMS out that do exactly what you want to do. You should pick a CMS that could grow with your website and you are able to add options to it with time.\nHere are few that I have used and am very happy with them:\nMambo Open Source: Very easy to use and is very expanable. The current core team is a bit slow to fix security holes.\nJoomla!: This is a fork of Mambo. Very active core team, comes with 100's of add-ons and thems and support is outstanding.\nWebsite Baker: If you want a website where you won't be needing people to register for your website then this is the CMS you should look into. Exelect for small business and building a portfolio website.\n\nThere is also an outstanding website if you want to try out more than 100 CMS': http://www.opensourcecms.com


It's vacation so I can sleep in, but on school days, I ask for them to make sure I'm out of bed by 6:30, I'm usually not out until 7 (Which is bad because I need an hour to get ready and that leave only a half-hour until the bus) And now, I ask for 10 A.M. At absolute latest, and they wake me up at 11. How come they won't listen to me on those simple requests?

a. If a plastic softdrink bottle [volume = 250.0 mL] is completely filled with pure water, capped, and then frozen at -10.0°C, what volume will the solid occupy?\nb. What will the bottle look like when you take it out of the freezer?\n(for a.)Show the formulas and calculations involved...\n(for b.)Answer the question briefly...

Well When you fill the plastic bottle the volume of water is 250 ml. So the mass of water is \n0.997 x 250 = 249.25 gm.\nNow it is frozen to -10°C. But the mass remains same.\nHence Volume occupied  by the frozen ice is\nd = m/v\nTherefore v=m/d\nHence v = 249.25/0.917 = 271.81.\nHence the ice expands. Hence the bottle will grow a bit in volume!!

Long hair or short hair? which, in your opinion do you think looks better on a female. and how long or how short?

Long hair makes me feel sexy.  When I have bare arms or back or even across my neck, the strands glide and tickle.  If I move just right, my hair feels like silk draped over my shoulders.\nShort hair makes me feel more masculine.


I have Bellsouth phone and Bellsouth DSL. Can I get rid of the land line and still have dsl coming into my house?

Most of the telephone companies require you to keep the lan line connection for having DSL.  DSL requires a telephone line for transmitting data (even though theoretically, you don't need the land line connection from that company).  But companies like SBC and Bell South bundle the land line with DSL for better deals (and selling their wares!).  Probably, you can contact Bell South tech support and cheack whether you can get rid of the telephone connection (I bet they won't allow that).

My friend,Michel,loves me.I don't want to hurt his feelings.I need extra good advice!

FIRST, STOP GIVING HIM MIXED SIGNALS BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO HURT HIM, HE WILL INTERPRET THEM AS LOVE. SECOND, IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHAT YOU DO BECAUSE HE WILL END UP GETTING HURT NO MATTER WHAT. THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS BE HONEST WITH HIM TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM AS A FRIEND AND STOP SEEING HIM FOR A WHILE SO HE CAN RESOLVE HIS FEELINGS. DON'T TALK TO HIM ABOUT GUYS YOU LIKE OR ARE DATING, THAT WILL ONLY HURT HIM MORE.

it was on the news but never caught the age...

Oldest man ever\nThe greatest age to which any man has ever lived is 120 years 237 days in the case of Shigechiyo Izumi (Japan) of Isen on Tokunoshima, an island 1,320 km (820 miles) south-west of Tokyo, Japan. He was born at Isen on 29 June 1865 and was recorded as a 6-year-old in Japan's first census of 1871. He died at 12:15 GMT on 21 February 1986 after developing pneumonia.\n\nCentenarians surviving beyond their 113th year are extremely rare and the present absolute proven limit of human longevity does not yet admit of anyone living to celebrate their 123rd birthday.\n\nOldest Man - Living\nEmiliano Mercado Del Toro (Puerto Rico), born in Cabo Rojo on August 21, 1891, became the oldest fully authenticated man residing in the world on 17 January 2005 at the age of 113 years 149 days.\n\nCurrently living in Isabela, Puerto Rico, he is also the oldest living veteran, having been called up in 1918 by the US Army. A non-combat veteran, he was two months into training when World War I ended on 11 November 1918.


Anyone familiar with stock trading.....\n\nIf I bought 150 of xyz stock at $2 and sold it at $3\n\nWill the profits only be in my account when the stock settles in 3 business days?\n\nI am with e trade. I am a newbie trader.\n\nThanks!

If you have a margin account, you can trade immediately with the money.  Don't be classified as a pattern daytrader, you can get a margin call.  Exceptions are if you have over $25,000 in your account.  \n\nWith a cash account the settlement date is usually three business days after the trade was executed.

Anyone know where the legal definiton resides?

While it may not be legal tender, many stores near the border will accept CA money. They usually will have their exchange rate posted [which may differ somewhat from the current exchange that you would receive at the bank]. If you do this, expect to receive US dollars in return.\n\nCoins are somewhat different. If you are regionally close to Canada, you can expect to find Canadian coins intermingled everywhere. Vending machines won't accept these coins, but generally cashiers won't take a second glance if you use a CA quarter instead of a US quarter. Don't expect to get an exchange for the coins at retail--they are basically accepted at face value.\n\nThe farther south that you travel, the less likely that people will recognize Canadian money--much less allow you to use it.

One thing is to get your site in a search engine (see below). The most simple thing to do is to get something that is already listed to link to your site.\nThe other is to get it as number 1. There's a whole industry trying to do that: the SEOs (Search Engine Optimizers), and they haven't solved that problem and probably never will. Luckily for searchers....

I have been wondering this ever since I did my IT course at Uni. Surely they would of needed a computer program in the first instance in order to write a new one, how confusing

The first computer program ever was a set of instructions punched into cards. \n\nThis kind of programming was used by Charles Babbage on his difference engines. The first reported program was written, or rather punched, by Babbages co-worker Ada Lovelace.\n\nThe first computers in the modern sense were constructed more than a century later by Konrad Zuse. They received their instructions by manually entering the first couple of bytes to initialize the processor and determine which hard-wired operations to perform.\n\nThese instructions were very basic boolean arithmetics - comparison of values, etc.

what is the best whitening lotion ??in local made

Here are some suggestions I hope will be helpful to you:\n\nOf all the veins in your body, leg veins have the hardest time carrying blood back to the heart. When the valves weakened, blood can become clogged and cause veins to swell abnormally. To ward off varicose veins, get a leg up with this advice from our trio of health experts.\n\nYoga Therapist\n\nYoga is an effective protocol for preventing and treating varicose veins. The posture that is known to be clinically most effective in both cases is sarvangasana, the shoulder stand (shown), where the legs are inverted and the pressure of gravity is reversed. In this pose, the blood and the lymph drain from the lower extremities back to the heart, thereby reducing the pressure of the pooled blood in the veins. Do this pose once daily. with a recommended holding time of about three to five minutes. When you stand up, movement of these fluids in the legs is greatly improved.\n\nPeople with limited range of motion or high blood pressure should do the modified version of the shoulder stand: Lie on the floor and place your legs in an inverted position on the flat surface of a wall. If necessary, a small pillow or rolled towel can be placed under your neck for comfort and support.\n\n\nNaturopath\n\nVaricose veins can only form if there's weakness in blood-vessel walls, or if there's significant pressure within the vein to overwhelm healthy vessels. By strengthening the vessel walls, which are made of smooth muscle and connective tissue, you decrease the likelihood they will dilate or distend. Build up connective tissue and shrink existing varicose veins by taking 2 to 3 grams of vitamin C and 400 to 800 IU of vitamin E daily (if you have a clotting disorder or take blood thinners, check with a doctor about vitamin E dosage). Botanicals such as horse chestnut, bilberry, butcher's broom, and grape-seed extract fortify connective tissue, while fruits like blueberries, elderberries, and cherries contain antioxidants that strengthen vein walls.\n\nVaricose veins sometimes lead to clotting, which can reduce the area through which blood flows and force the vessel to dilate even more. To help prevent clotting, eat foods with blood-thinning properties, such as raw onions, garlic, ginger, and cayenne.\n\n--Amy Neuzil, N.D., Austin, Texas\n\nDermatologist\n\nSeveral factors contribute to varicose veins: genetics, pregnancy, obesity, constipation, taking estrogen, and wearing high-heeled shoes and/or restrictive clothing. Everyone with varicose veins should seek medical treatment, since there is a 50 percent risk of developing leg ulcers or blood clots, especially after a long (car or plane trip. One procedure I use to treat varicose veins is endoluminal laser vein closure, which involves using light energy inserted with a fiber into the vein to heat the vein wall and cause it to collapse and seal closed. Bruising from the treatment disappears after a week or two, and patients can return to regular activities right after the procedure.\n\nIf you have varicose veins, wear lightweight graduated support stockings, especially when you're going to be on your feet for long periods. Avoid crossing your legs while sitting, since it cuts off blood flow and increases pressure in leg veins. Don't wear heels taller than inch: When you wear high heels, you don't utilize your calf muscles enough while walking, and these muscles are responsible for pumping blood back to the heart. To circulation and vein strength, walk or do another exercise that works your legs for a half-hour every day.


Is it to control the oil or does the USA really care about Iraqis??

Chivalry isn't dead.  Doing little things like opening doors or offering to carry something for is still very flattering to most girls even if she says no.


Well, I too had heard about this study around 3 years ago. It said that Ancient Greek and Sanskrit can be used more efficiently as programming languages for computer. For Sanskrit, the reason is that Sanskrit is a language where the position of a particular word in the sentence does not generally change the meaning of the sentence. Strange but true. Happy to know someone else also know it. Merry Christmas!\n\n--------------------------------------\n\nHi Belle, First of all, I should complement you for asking interesting questions. You should now start selecting the best answers amongst the people who have answered you. Merry Christmas!


if its one nation ,one president then why different laws for different states?

When the US first separated from England after the Revolution, the people were wary of strong, centralized government (because of their experiences under the English king).\n\nThey first formed a loose fedaration of separately-governed states.  It proved too 'loose' to be effective, so the states re-organized under the current US constitution - which gave more power to the Federal government, but still left some control with states.\n\nSince then, balancing state & federal powers has been a near-constant issue.

I just bought a plastic chair mat to protect my hardwood floor from a rolling chair, but upon removing the mat from the package, it's EXTREMELY charged up.  I've got way too much gear to ground everything, so is there any homebrew remedy which will get rid of the static from the mat?  Thanks!

Static can be a serious nuisance in the processing of analog recording media, because it can attract dust to sensitive materials. In the case of photography, dust accumulating on lenses and photographic plates degrades the resulting picture. Dust also permanently damages vinyl records because it can be embedded into the grooves as the stylus passes over. In both cases, several approaches exist to combat such dust deposition. Some brushes, particularly those with carbon fiber bristles, are advertised as possessing anti-static properties. Also available are handheld static guns which shoot streams of ions to discharge static on records and lenses. Static electricity is a class of phenomena involving objects with a net charge; typically referring to charged objects with voltages of sufficient magnitude to produce visible attraction, repulsion, and sparks.\n\nNatural electrostatic phenomena are most familiar as an occasional annoyance in seasons of low humidity, but can be destructive and harmful in some situations (e.g. electronics manufacturing.) When working in direct contact with integrated circuit electronics (especially delicate MOSFETs), or in the presence of flammable gas, care must be taken to avoid accumulating and discharging a static charge.\n\nNote that the presence of electric current does not detract from the electrostatic forces nor from the sparking, from the corona discharge, or other phenomena. Both phenomena can exist simultaneously in the same system.

Yes, It is perfectly normal, It happens to me a lot. It's where your body needs to move or when you feel really happy/ excited.


Any ideas on where i can find the program Autodesk Inventor V.7? Ive searched the internet and i cant find it. If your wondering what this program is, its a CADD Program. CADD means Computer Aided Drafted Design. Any help would be very appreciated for the finding of this program. Thanks

I couldn't find it either.  They are using Version 10 now.  Good luck.


I'm a guy. My pecs are kind of under-developed. What are the best bodyweight exercises I can do? I need to beef up--fast! Thanks.

The best body weight excersize I know to bulk up the upper body is the pull-up.\n\nA bar about two feet taller than you that's able to take your weight will do.  Start with a grip about two inches wider than your shouders.  The key is very strict movements.  Pull yourself up from hanging straight down s-l-o-w-l-y, until your chin clears the bar.  Go back down s-l-o-w-l-y, very controlled movements.  Do this until failure, and write down the number you do each time you work out so you can monitor your progress.\n\nYeah, it's hard work...but it puts USABLE, hard muscle on you, quick like.


And alson on headcount procedures within the defac.

Either JOIN AND SERVE or If you are already in... ask your Mess Sgt.


I quit my job as a teacher due to expected bouts of depression. I went to a doctor. I was told by a rep that I had to quit since I was so new. I mean I didnt get formally diagnosed or treated. I didnt want to quit, but I felt it was my only option. I want to be a teacher again in the NYC Teaching Fellows. They said they dont reinstate anyone, however, this was unexpected and it is a illness. With treatment, I can improve. What are the chances that I can plead for my job back?

When you quit a job for any reason, you don't usually have the option of getting it back just by asking.  You will probably have to reapply to the position -- if it's still available --  and go through the whole interview process again.\n\nThe only way this situation would have been different due to your depression would be if they had offered short-term disability.  I'm not sure if this was offered, especially since you were new, but this option typically puts your position on hold while you are recovering/going through treatment.  However, doing this for mental illnesses isn't always the same as a physical injury/disability, as it's usually more helpful for a person to keep working and going through a normal routine.\n\nAnyway, it seems like you will probably have to reapply to the position.  If you were forced to quit though, rather than go on disability, you might have a legal case against them, but this is only a guess.
