Skepticism is a good thing, and science needs it.  But people seem to only ever want to listen to those who agree with them  You can't learn anything that way!!!  You have to understand your opposition to know whether or not they have a basis in truth.\n\nI did not reach adulthood already convinced of the truth of evolution.  Quite the contrary, I thought it was rubbish by the time I graduated high school.  But if you study the matter in-depth, and look into the molecular basis of life, it becomes pretty undeniable.\n\nSo why are people asking for a 40 second solution to a 3 year question?  I can't sum up evolution in a few paragraphs any more than I can sum up physical chemistry or the importance of free markets to economic growth.  Is a complex subject.  So if you don't care enough to find the truth, why ask the question?  And if you do care, why not go the distance in studying the matter?  What are you afraid of?

It's not only that it takes time. It takes effort, it takes thinking. Believing is much easier :rolleyes:\nSpeaking as a teacher, I see the same dangerous habits among my students, people who will (hopefully) become scientists one day. They hear something, they read one article, or class notes, and that's it. No questions, no further reading.


How are they changing their names that appear on the right-hand side of the screen?

multiple accounts.  They log in as one, leave, and then log in as another one.


I want know about the formalities to get a beautician licence. Because i want to be a beautician.

In the USA you have to attend a cosmetology school and before you can get your license you have to have 1000 hours of combined classroom and experience.


The older I get, the more young guys appeal to me. They are so damn sexy. This 18 yr old was a virgin too. I'm feeling a little guilty. Was this wrong of me to do?

LOL! I was going to post an answer here elle but there are already a lot of good answers. While I was reading them I noticed Frank whos "baby daddy" run off posted an answer to you. Funny stuff ;)\n\nBTW theres nothing wrong with what youre doing, just be honest with him. One caveat, there are sexy 33 year old guys too :P


I dont get it.. someone explain please!!

First, we postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. \n\nAs for souls entering hell, lets look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to hell. Since, there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to hell. \n\nWith birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls to volume needs to stay constant. So, if hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose. \n\nOf course, if hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, than the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.\n\n\n\nPlz don't take this seriously.


I love to listen to Al Stewart,Chris de Burgh & Bee Gees.


i found a piece or a chunk of a silver metal on a roof  who can i contact to have it tested to see if it is real?

If you suspect it's  meteor, try these:\n\n     Center for Meteorite Studies\n     Arizona State University\n     Temple, AZ 85281\n\n\n     Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Sciences\n     University of California\n     Los Angeles, CA 90024\n\n\n     Institute of Meteoritics\n     Department of Geology\n     University of New Mexico\n     Albuquerque, NM 87131\n\n\n     Lunar and Planetary Laboratory\n     Space Sciences Building\n     University of Arizona\n     Tucson, AZ 85721


Also, what would be better a degree in biology or a degree in chemistry?  And if there is anyone who has actually been to veterinary school, could you answer this question?  Are the gross anatomy classes really awful to get through?

I suggest you find a vet school you might want to go to and contact them and ask them what they are looking for. That might help you plan better:-)


It's clear that USC is the better team. They were wearing Texas out; 8 'horns suffered from cramps and needed IV's on the sideline. Vince Young had a great game; and he was truly the MVP; but knee was down in the 3rd quarter and that touchdown should have been called back.I'm still a USC fan. Is it me or are texans just inclined to cheat; I mean, first the presidential election and now the Rose Bowl; what is the world coming to? Does anyone agree with me?

His knee was down, but that's not cheating, that's a missed call by an official. I don't think you can say for sure that Texas would have lost if the officials called that play differently.  I don't like Texas at all, but they are the champions.  A champion isn't necessarily the best, but the one that won.  If you are a USC fan, congratulations on a great season and a great game.


can a person live without kidneys and stay alive like a human lifespan?

No atleast we need one\n\nThe kidney is a very important organ, and the most obvious function is that it excretes wastes that we produce from our diet and from our metabolism. What's less obvious is that it's the most important organ that controls the composition of the body fluids. In addition, it does produce a number of hormones that deal with body function. \n\n\nThe kidney is a filtering organ, so blood is delivered to a very unique apparatus in the kidney called the glomerulus, and there, because of pressure dynamics, a component of the blood is filtered across the membrane, and the first process of creating the urine develops. In this segment of the kidney, in the glomerulus, the composition of that fluid is very similar to blood. The fluid passes through a series of tubules in a structure called the nephron, and there it's modified, heavily modified. A variety of things are reabsorbed that we need, and a variety of toxins are concentrated until the end of the kidney, the end of that nephron segment, drains into something called a papilla, then into the ureter, and then the bladder, and we have what we term "urine," which is a fluid rich in toxic wastes that is excreted. \n\nsuppose you drink a bottle of orange juice. The body sees a sudden excess of an element called potassium, so the kidney has sensors which look at the body fluid going through the kidney as plasma, and it detects that the plasma's potassium has gone up, and it immediately increase the excretion of potassium so everything comes back to normal.


collision theory, organic chemistry, rate constants(expaination with examples)rate of reactions

Collision Theory - A theory that suggests that chemical reactions occur when reacting particles collide with each other with sufficient energy.\n\nOrganic Chemistry - There are many hundreds of thousands of organic chemicals. Anything containing carbon atoms can be considered to be organic. The proteins that make up our hair, skin, and muscles, DNA and RNA, the foods we eat, the clothes we wear and the medicines we take are all organic chemicals.\n\nThey are given the name organic because it was once thought that the only difference between inorganic and organic chemicals was that organic chemicals seemed only to come from living things, but this was dismissed in the early 1800's when 'chemists' made known organic compounds (like urea) from known inorganic compounds. It was later realised that all organic chemicals contain carbon, this is the only distinguishing feature between inorganic and organic chemicals.\n\nRate of Reactions - There are 5 factors that affect the rate of reaction, which are Physical state of reactants, concentration, temperature, catalysts and light.


I am a single woman in my 40's who would like to live in a city that is more affordable than Boston but that still has all of the cultural amenities that Boston has, and that has a good public transit system.

Probably not Philidelphia. Why not stay at boston and simply move to a cheaper apartment. If not, go to New York.


The World Wrestling Federation was sued by the World Wildlife Fund (also WWF) and the World Wildlife Fund won. The World Wrestling Federation became WWE (for World Wrestling Entertainment) which is also the corporate name for the company.


I want to get a new card, one that can handle bf2 and nhl06 on at least medium medium/high setttings. I'm only looking to spend between 150-200 maybe 220.. I found a eVGA 256-P2-N381 Geforce 6800XT 256MB 256-bit DDR  for 160. Good card? good price? Also isn't directX 10 coming out during the summer? would it be better to wait to get card with support for it and how expensive would they be?

Yes, DirectX 10 will be coming out late this year and will be included with Vista.  Whether or not you want to wait depends on if you NEED to play BF2 now.  If you do then I would get a simple Geforce 6600GT (about $125) and it should be able to handle BF2 just fine.  Then when DirectX 10 comes out you'll be able to get a card that supports it.  I don't know how expensive they would be that depends if they endow the middle-end cards and high-end cards with DX10, if they stick with the high-end cards then I would say upwards of $300.  I would wait but that's just me, I already have a Radeon X800XL so I don't really need a card right now but as soon as DX10 comes out, I'm getting one that supports it because who wouldn't want geometry sharders, who?


If the most painful thing is too personal just go for the one that you are willing to share.\n\nFor me, it was the death of a family member.

When my grandma died - we lived in England at the time, rest of family in Illinois.  The day she died, it snowed in England.  The whole country pretty much shut down cuz they didn't relaly have any snow removing equipment.  It was really sad.


I have 3 chips.\n1x patriot 1GB chip model PEP1G3200LL (newegg)\n2-3-2-5\n2x Corsair XMS 512mb chips model TWINX1024-3200C2PT (newegg)\n2-3-3-6\n\n\nALL are DDR 400\nI have an Asus A8N-SLI deluxe motherboard.\n\nFor some reason they don't want to run at DDR 400. They show up as DDR 200 in bios post at startup.\nI know what DDR means, I know that DDR 400 is actually 200 mhz. So I'm not wanting explanations on that. It is saying DDR 200, not just 200.\nI know that the manufacturers and timings are different. Why must it conflict? Can I get around it (OTHER THAN buying all of the same brand of memory sticks)?\n\nI know I've posted this question before. I didn't get anything of thorough response.

What processor are you using? Unless you have a Revision E processor, it can't be done using more than two sticks. Revision E processors allow you to run up to all four dimms populated at 400mhz and are Venice core or greater.\n\nAlso, how are the dimms installed? Try putting the two Corsairs on the same channel, and stick the Patriot on the other.


He has forbidden his Goveornors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.\n   -"The Declaration of Independence" by Thomas Jefferson\n   in MODELS FOR WRITERS\n\nWhat does it mean, "something of pressing importance?" Important in what way?

In this sentence, "pressing" means "urgent" or "demanding immediate attention." So, something of "pressing importance" is not just important -- it is also urgent.


I work for a major corporation and when we purchase high dollar domain names we go through workingoffers.com I just can not understand why yahoo and google do not give them a good link ranking.They are kind of hard to find.We've paid out big money to the good people at workingoffers.com so I know they can afford what ever it takes.What's the deal?

They only have one page in the Yahoo! index. Type:\nhttp://workingoffers.com in the search box you can see the page.\n\nOne reason might be because they have no inbound links.  Type:\nlinkdomain:workingoffers.com into the search box.  Inbound links are a major factor in website ranking.


How to define a global variable in VC++\ntell me in breif.

any variable defined outside of a function or class declaration is a global.  Generally, you would declare it externally in a header file:\n\nextern int g_Counter;\n\nand define it in one of the source files:\n\nint g_Counter = 0;\n\nThe use of globals is discouraged in general.


I have heard that you can make something similar to a gel pack by combining different amounts of water and alcohol to a freezer bag.  Apparently, the alcohol will not allow the water to freeze solid.\n\nAnybody else heard of this and if so, do you know the ratio of each liquid?\n\nTHANKS!

The ratio is 1 part rubbing alcohol to 2 parts water.I usually use 1 cup and 2 cups. Put the mixer in a gallon size zip lock then, place the zip lock into another zip lock to prevent any leakage. You can reuse this ice pack over and over. OR - you can make several smaller ice packs if you don't want a gallon size one.


It seems even professionals cannot answer this question... let's try the Yahoo people!

Well, yes. But only if you drink like 10 gallons of it at once. It is an astronomical amount.


Hi,\nI need a software that can create pro-looking DVD Menus to create a menu for my movie...\n\nThanx

y wud u want a friend u dont no? i mean there r so many ppl in this world. and prolley so many ppl close 2 u. y dont u go out and make some friends w/ the world. its alot easier unless ur shy. which if u r in that case get over it. no reason 2 b shy b ur self ppl like u 4 who u r not what u try to b.

well, some people feel that they may be living in a small town, where in that case, everybody knows you. You could also not want to join all those clubs that everybody suggests to meet new people. You may feel inadequate where you reside and even though you would love to move, can't find a job where you want to live yet. at the same time, you can always network on the internet as well. there are so many people I've met over the internet that would love for me to visit them, and yes I would be careful, but I've known them for years. I have a friend in California who's dying for me to visit her, which would be cool becuase I wouldn't get lost in L.A.. I have a friend in D.C. who's got my back as well. I'm not dating them, but they are friends that I would never meet where I'm living at. Most folks just want to meet like-minded people and the internet has tons of them. you don't have to be shy, but yes I've met alot of shy people on the internet. I don't mind it, it's connecting everybody and nobody's shy over the internet, there are some bafoons, but hey, you can meet those in a club or where ever you go. I haven't met a quality chick out here, but I met a couple over the internet who live on the other side of my state, and that was cool, I didn't date them becuase they live too far, but it's  nice to know I have friends out there. if people are lying, after a while you can tell, unless you have intentions of dating them. I say make frieds with them, with any luck, you'll meet their friends.


I got the layout from front page and some pictures dont work either.  If you know any other site from where I can put it up I'll be thankful.

check the paths of those images\nof course geocities cant show them if the paths are i.e like;\n\n\na correct link to the image in the code should look more like this: \nif in a dir: \n\nwhere the html files and the images including any directory containing any other directory should be uploaded aswell in order for the paths to workd accordingly.\n\ngood luck\n\n--\n\nthe layout buttons names may appear to be too long.\ntry giving them shorter and qualifying names.\n\nyourbutton names are:\nfeedback.htm_cmp_sky010_vbtn.gif\n\nbetter if you change them induvidually accourding to their titles, like so:\naboutme_but.gif\n\nalso mind CAPS if you use any to name the images of your button, the caps should than also be used in the code.

I have recently had a sore throat and I almost suffocated in the evenings and mornings but got on quite well in the daxtime. How come?

she is partly right about the draining. But also when you sleep you get really dry. that is why sore throughts are so bad in the morning....BUT at night....you get worse because you are tired...by the end of a long day a sick body will just want to shut down.


well, as I know he has several IDS in Yahoo but I don't know if he stills those or not. he never used his real name and one of his IDs is it_training. I think he is in the US right now and it's obvious that  his occupation is IT

If you know the city he lives in, try posting a craigslist ad. The ad is free, and they have a "Missed Connections" section for exactly this sort of thing.


What percentage? And do most actors get paid by a graduating commission?

Agents charge anywhere from 5% to 25%, managers generally charge 15% to 25%. A manager and agent cannot by law be the same, they have different things they can do legally that the other one can't. That is because a manager makes decisions for  an actor or an artist from a long term career view whereas a booking agent or talent agent is more concerned about short term income and not thinking so much about the artist's career longevity in general only about the income from the next project. This could present poor decisons made that would not be in the best interest of the artist and that's why in 1977  a law went into effect that disallowed managers from booking their acts or artists on an engagement or into a venue, an area only someone licensed as a talent agent is legally allowed to do. Nor is a talent agent allowed to make decisions or act on behalf of an artist except for booking into venues and engagements.


People who don't have a good eyesight requires spectacles. What's the cause that makes our eye's vision not clear?

There are several reasons for blurry vision, the most common of which is called refractive error.  The eye is a complex system that takes light and focuses it on special cells in the back of the eye (in the retina).  These cells take the light information and send it back to the brain, which tells you what it is that you're seeing.  \n\nIf your eye focuses light in front of the retina (instead of directly on it), you get blurry vision that's called myopia or nearsightedness.  If your eye focuses light behind the retina, you get blurry vision that's called hyperopia or farsightedness.  It's all related to the optical power and length of the eye.\n\nGlasses and contact lenses work by refocusing light directly onto the retina, giving you clear vision again.  You should also know that there are many eye diseases that can cause blurry vision that is not correctable with glasses or contact lenses.


What is the best place to legally download abandonware or old software ?

Depends what you are looking for. But lots of old games and links to related sites (maybe to what you are looking for too) you will find at www.abandonia.com


I check the box that says "keep me logged in on this computer" but wheni close internet explorer and open it back up and go to yahoo.com, I am not logged in. Any suggestions?

There is a way around this. It's a bit technical in nature though, so read on if you're game.\n\nFirst, download Firefox from [1] and install it. Next, install the extension Greasemonkey from [2] and then install the script at [3]. Lastly, go and read the post at [4]. It will tell you the rest of what you need to know.\n\nHope this helps. Yes, you will still occasionally be logged out of your account although the difference with this is that you will no longer need to enter your details manually. This works for any other site too. Enjoy!


My little brother Sam, (3) deleted the address bar on our computer.  I've tried EVERYTHING to get it back and I can't figure out how.  My older brother who's training in the computer field tried to figure out how to get it back but nothing seems to work.  So how can I get it back??

Open the internet explorer then go to the top left and click "View" next highlight "toolbar" next put a check next to "address bar"


If someone has been caught smuggling over illegal aliens from another Country to the US, then \n1)are they charged? \n2)with what crime?\n3)which agencies over sees this legal area?

As i understand, under the new rules, they are going to be detained and put on hold until they get a warn and a ticket back to the Home Country. Ofcourse the FBI should track down the source of invasion and check if that was an organized crime. And then do something .. organized crimes, human trafficking?\n\nThe State Police and FBI provide this information only to a subject of records check.\n\nYou can try to address a Private Investigator. I do not really know where do they fetch the information from because there are States where you dont have to obtain a license to become one.


Did the military produce a prototype fully automatic 12 gauge shotgun machine gun that fired 400-450 rounds per minute.Each 12 gauge round containing 12 flechetes (flechettes?) i.e. razor darts

I'm not sure there is any that exist, as far as what a person could carry.\nThe USAS-12 and MK3A1 Jackhammer are the best known autos. MK3A1 fires 240 rpm, which also the drum magazine can be removed and affixed to a detonator to be used as an anti personnel mine.\nThen there's the AA12 which has a rpm of 300.\nI'm no expert but I honestly don't think you'll find a 12 gauge that can fire that fast without ripping your shoulder off/extreme barrel rise. And since shotguns fire shot/fletchettes/whatever and useless at long range, I don't see any viable reason why they would make a shotgun that a person couldn't ideally use.

I have been having sex with this one man for a year now. We are friends but we have sex. In the month of December 2005, I told him that I did not want to continue having sex with him because a guy I was trying to be in a relationship had used me for sex a few days earlier and I was hurt and did not want to be having sex with anyone. But just this past Saturday, we ended up having sex again.\n\nWhat was so different is that this time when we were talking, I told him about someone from my past and he was getting upset saying "what!! you messed with such and such!!!" Then, he knew about the guy who had hurt me...but when we were having sex he kept asking me questions such as "am I the best you ever had?" "anyone do you like me?" "how good am I?"; questions that he NEVER asks.\n\nHe also gets upset if I don't answer the phone when he calls, then wants to know why I didn't answer (but it is ok for him not to answer when I call).\n\nDoes he seem to be showing signs of having feelings for me or just that he sees he has competition?

You should try to change your outlook. You are the one that is sleeping with him. You are the one that lets him be with you. You can not let anyone use you. It is all up to you. If he get's bent over you not answering the phone...He needs to check himself. You need to decide what you want and then go for it. IF it is just the sex you want then talk about any of the others u want to. If it is more, if you want more of a relationship with him, you need to let him know and be honest. Most guys are so insecure they can't handle the comparison of themselves to anyone else. IF you want him, let him know that and that he is it and no ones else counts. You have to talk to him.


Like this:\n\nConsole.Write( "This " );\nConsole.Write( "is on a single line." )\n\nConsole.WriteLine( "" );\nConsole.WriteLine( "This is on a different line" );\nConsole.WriteLine( "This is too!" );

My printer for the most part works fine, but occasionally it has trouble grabbing the paper from the tray to pull it in and print, and I have to kind of push the top page into it to get it to grab it. Anyone have any suggestions on how to remedy this problem?\n\nIt is an HP Deskjet 610CL if that makes any difference.

Check the weight of the paper you are using.  Look at the manual to see if it requires 24 weight paper or recommended composition.  50% rag / 50% cotton\n\nHow old is the printer?  The feed rollers may be dirty?


which one would you rather have? Is'nt paper pointless with out a pen and a pen with out paper? so which one would you rather have?

Well, technically, if you have paper but not a pen, you can still write with a pencil, marker, etc. and if you have a pen but not paper, I guess you could write on your hand...I think I'd go with paper...


America attacked Iraq just because they possessed weapons of mass destruction.\nBut there were nothing. Then Bush have changed the reason of the war to liberating Iraqi from Saddam.\nAs you know, North Korea is making nuke weapons and Kim Jong-il oppresses people.\nActually many people has died from starvation.\nHow do you explain this kind of double standards.

Well, considering that both North and South Korea still have their weapons aimed at each other, the window of opportunity just isn't there.  The terrain is god aweful, it's extremely cold and hot as hell.  The US forces alreay stationed there would take a huge hit and the capital of South Korea would cease to exist.  So lets hope no one gets too cavalier and lets diplomacy work things out.  If we're applauled by the loss of life with the war on terror, wait and see what happens if the Korean war resumes.  A little side not, the Korea's are technically still at war.  They have been under a cease fire for about fifty years, hence their weapons are still aimed at each other.


Got a video of my own that I want to add to my myspace profile... I can host it on my website and link to it, but that is a killer on my bandwidth.. I see that myspace recently added an upload video option, but I tried uploading in three formats, and neither of them were acceptable... But theres no tech FAQ on the page to tell me whats the acceptable format.\n\nI've e-mailed myspace help quite a few times in the last few weeks and havent gotten a response yet..

myspace doesn't really like to give any technical help.  They like to have you find ait elsewhere.  Google or yahoo search "myspace video upload" and you will get directed to lots of sites that can help.  SOme of then will make you register and stuff, but are free.  Or , you can search myspace profiles for people who know aboutthat sort of thing and send them a mnessage asking for help.  That is what myspace really wants you to do.


Modern scientists think that if they can build a spaceship shaped like a tire and rotate it at its center like a tire, centripetal forces will create artificial gravity around the edges of the spaceship, but I think that's impractical.

Its not impractical because you have perpetual motion in space get it spinning and it will spin forever at the same speed.  No friction.  Thats the only way to do it because you can create Gravity like on startrek


My personal favorite, after careful consideration of course, is season 3. I enjoyed the storyline with the virus and Jack fighting his drug addiction.

Season 1 was the best. He had a wife who was equal in being sensitive and strong at the same time. His daugther wasn't so annoying and at least TRIED to get out of her situations. Not to mention you had Nina Meyers and George Mason.\n\nThe other seasons, once they were out of the picture, made it harder to come up with things to keep Jack at bay and/or find things for him to fight for.\n\nJack being out of CTU completely in Season 4 for instance really was I felt a different turn for the series, this made sense. What didn't make sense was for them to bring him back in just cause he wanted something to prove. He has to have something to fight for for the character to work, patriotic themes don't sit well with me as most of us really wouldn't die for our country.\n\nThis new season better be different, or i'm dumping 24


...ised to pay the fairy $20 after each crossing. The bunny agreed, but after three crossings there was $20 with which to pay the fairy, and bunny was left with no money. How much did the bunny have the start?\n\nNo jokes please. ^^;

Allright- here you go:\n\nX= The Bunny's starting money\n\n***2X-20 is how much money the bunny would have after 1 crossing, so you want to use "2X-20" as your next "X" and nest to figure for 3 crossings- we know the bunny had no money after 3 crossings so our formula equals zero***\n\n2(2(2X-20)-20)-20=0\n\nand solve for X\n\n(4(2X-20)-40)=0\n\n8X-140=0\n\n8X=140\n\nX=$17.50\n------------------------------------------\nOkay, 2nd thoughts. . . .  the previous formula would be if the bad fairy doubled the bunny's money every time he crossed the field, but in this case- if she's paying bunny twice what he currently has he would have (X+2X-20)=(3X-20) bucks after crossing the field the first time and paying her off.  This would make the correct formula:\n\n3(3(3X-20)-20)-20=0\n\nSolve for this X and the bunny's starting amount equals $9.63, but then he would still have a penny left after his last crossing. . . .

I found info on the web... There's an online police blotter... though they aren't talking about arrests in the LAKE COUNTY section.  They are talking about it in the Police Blotter section.  Unfortunately, I can't link it to your request, but it's a start (Link 1).


How to turns 1 ordinary PC into up to 10 by letting up to ten monitors, keyboards and people work simultaneously off of the same individual computer box. what harware and software is required. please give step by step instructionns? I'm using window 98, xp and 2000

That might be possible in theory, but I think in reality it would be so slow that it wouldn't work.  Your best bet would probably be just to find some cheap PCs on eBay like the last answer suggested, or something like that.

The fat burning zone is misunderstood by most people. We are never burning just one type of fuel (fat protein carbs) we are burning them all just in different percentages. The main source of fuel for your body and the one that is readily available is  glucose from glycogen (" glycogen is the main form of carbohydrate storage in animals and occurs primarily in the liver and muscle tissue. It is readily converted to glucose as needed by the body to satisfy its energy needs. Also called animal starch"). \nFat and protein can also be converted to glucose if needed. The fat burning zone is when the body is supposedly burning a high percentage of fat during exercise. Fat is stored at different places in your body. around organs, intramuscularly, and subcutaneously(bellow the skin)this is the one most people are trying to lose unfortunately the fat utilized during exercise is the intramuscular type and so little it doesn’t matter there is 9cal/gram of fat and a little fat supplies a ton of energy. The best way to lose fat is to create a caloric deficit at the end of the day from food and exercise because during sleep is when the body really kicks into fat stores but only f it needs it. About 500 calories a day is a good caloric deficit to be in to lose weight at a healthy rate which is about 2 pounds a week.


religions on earth are a myth.All religions are unanimous in propagating that this planet is a place of sin and suffering.It has never been realized that GOD the all knowing, all prevading all powerfull conciousness can only be felt as an inner vibration only on earth.\nDefinitions of heaven can only be concieved through the all arround reality of existance.\nProperties of matter are not as technical as are being made out by the technical minds.\nMind is an evolutionary phenomena which keeps changing.\nTime is a relative factor of measurement based on the movement of this planet externally.\nGo to the centre of this planet in deep meditation and time will stop.\nThose Who claim to be Yogis have never experienced the reality of ABSOLUTE GOD.\nBecome part and parcel of this planet or return to dust in deep meditation by holding few grains of dust you will become part of the COSMOS. The all prevading GOD keeps watching  through this planet every movement and keeps full record of all actions.

My girlfriend of the last 3 years was at my house today using my computer to check email and stuff. Before i go any further we're both in our late 20's. Well today she left her email minimized and her AIM messenger was still on. She had like 50 guys on there from the same area we live in and her emails were raunchy enough it made me sick. (yes i did prowl, i didn't think i had anything to worry about.) Anyways her emails didn't make it sound like she had actually met any of them.. but one of them was all talking about some dirty phone conversation they had one night.. How do I approach her on this.. am i as guilty as her because i snooped through her stuff. or should i have a good argument because this stuff should have never have happened..?? let me know what you think!

and you still wanna hang around with her?


Well, I can't figure out. Some examples here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_services_and_tools

one of my closes friends is married and his wife doesn't know she wouldn't even approve of him having a female friend. I meet him befor they were married but not befor they got together. We sneak around to see each other and text each other also but she so insecure that he don't want to tell her and he said he doesn't want to lose me as just a friend. Should I stop being his friend or keep it on hush and keep being friends

This is absolutely wrong. He for one should respect his wife and her feelings, so he should either find a nice way to tell her of his friendship with other ladies and introduce them to his wife and try to find a way to convince her to accept him having female friends or just love her and respect her wishes and not have friends she does not approve of.


I have a weather assignment to find out if Sacramento CA and Quillayute WA are experiencing any unusual weather.

It has been quite rainy in Sacramento, to the point where we've had mudslides and such. You might look at Yahoo's Weather page or http://www.weather.com. \n\nIf Quillayute, Washington is close to Seattle, it might be that it has rained there every day for more than three weeks straight.

I have many folders with many emails saved in them. Is there a way to burn a CD that would contain all of these folders/files?

No. The files are saved into Yahoo's servers. Not your computer. The disc won't be burnt because it won't find the file on your computer and because you can't burn directly from the internet (I am pretty sure of this). You need to save all the stuff onto the computer to burn it. Afterwards, you can delete it, but keep the files in your e-mail. So basically:\n1. Save files\n2. Burn files\n3. Delete only the files you saved onto the computer; leave the e-mail files alone\n4. Enjoy!


At which point in the interviewing process is it most appropriate to disclose this?

A used to work for a background screening company, and I know for a fact that some companies don't even want to know about criminal records for an applicant if it is less than a felony.\n\nMost companies are going to have you fill out an application, and there will be a spot on the form where they ask you about that sort of thing. But read the fine print, it may ask you to omit certain things (usually traffic-related stuff, sometimes drug misdemeanors over 2 years old, etc).\n\nUnless they have asked you about it or it is implied that you should've already brought it to their attention, I wouldn't bring it up. That's a judgement call, obviously, but you don't want to sound like you think it might disqualify you from consideration. (Be confident!)


Would they become a gas liquid or a solid? The experiment has been done, there is a definitive answer.

first of all, the experiment has not been done yet, we have not been able to reach absolute zero yet.  gases liquids and solids are properties of atoms and their compounds and have to do with intermolecular forces. in liquids and solids, the atoms are touching(solids they are stuck in place liquids they slide over each other) but regardless, 2 electrons(both being negatively charged) can never touch. that doesnt mean they are a gas, because these phases of matter do not apply to plain electrons. subatomic particles do not experience these phases or phase changes. At absolute zero(which hasnt been reached and thus is still theoretical), all matter would stop moving, so the electrons would stop moving and lose all kinetic energy.


Just to get rid of dust and finger grime. Is there a good product or effective method?

To get rid of dust I would suggest using compressed air. It comes in a can that looks similar to a WD40 can. You can find it at most any computer or electronic stores and they frequently go on sale. The can has compressed air that is used to blow dust and grime off your keyboard and other computer components. It can also be used on the inside of your computer but you must keep the can in an upright position to keep the liquid from spraying out. It's easy to use and works great on keyboards.\n\nTo get rid of finger grime I would just recommend a damp (almost dry) cloth and just rub the keys gently. Do not use a cloth that will drip inside your keyboard. Getting the keys themselves a little damp will not hurt anything, but if water gets under the keys you could short out the keyboard.


I have a lunch riding on this answer.  I said it should be addressed as Mrs. Harry Smith and not Mr. & Mrs. Harry Smith since Mr. Smith is the one that passed away.

Mrs. Harry Smith - u r correct!  Bon Appetite!


why are you mean bsandey i didnt do you anything im just having fun. i am not a bad person. they said you can ask anything you want thats what im doing.

Because they enjoy the sense of "power" they feel by making other people feel bad. They're miserable, so they want other people to feel bad so they can feel better about themselves.


what are the pro and cons of contacts lenses?

I wear both.  Contacts are great for rainy days (so you don't have to deal with glasses foggin up or rain drops on your lenses) and sunny days (for sunglasses).  However, you put them in everyday and take them out everynight.  If you get one tiny (miniscule - as in you can barely see it without a microscope) scratch or rip, you will have to through it away.  And your contact could fall out at any blink (nothing is more fun than having 20 people on their hands and knees looking for something the size of a dime on shag carpet!). Contacts are definetly more expensive and your eye exam has to be done yearly.  Contacts can be painful if your eye gets irritated.  All in all glasses are a lot less hassle, but contacts are great to have too.  That's why I use both.


Totally fine. Sweetheart. True cowboy. The whole package rolled in one GORGEOUS MAN !!

I was in a car wreck with a state highway deparment person. It was his fault. my car was totalled. How long should it take to process my claim? they said up to 6 months since personal injury was involved, but a friend said that it wouldn't take that long and after a certain period of time, they arent liable anymore. so my question is basically how long should it take?

It really depends.  Public entities do not work very fast.  If you need to resolve your claim, not so much fast, but faster, you should file a claim with your own insurance company.  Once you settle your claim with your own insurance company, your insurance company will subrogate the claim and go after the "highway department" for the money they paid you.  So long as you are paid what you are owed by your insurance company, the highway department may drag their feet as long as they like.  Hope that helps.

I think you need more therapy.  Because someone doesn't reply doesn't necessarily mean they don't care.\n\nIf I was your therapist and you decided to contact me, first thing I would ask myself would be... Is this a paying customer?  Was this person deeply troubled?  Do I really care?  \nIf the answer to any of these questions was No, I would not be contacting you.\n\nMaybe this is why i'm not a shrink :)

He said that he's too stressed mentally to be in a relationship, but he still manages to call when he wants some A$$ and gets mad when I don't give it up!\nI want to know.....W.W.Y.D?

WOW. I am sorry. It sounds like he had a hell of a time over seas and isn't quite home mentally yet. It really sucks that he broke up with you, but you don't live in a house with a swinging door. Tell him that you'd like to work on your relationship with him, but don't attack him. I'm sure he's had enough attacks on him over the last 6-18 months. BUT... also let him know that you can't just be around for sex. He needs time to heal his mind. The best thing you can do right now is to give him all the time he needs. Just don't get played. Don't have sex with him anymore whether he gets mad or not.


Or are there any other (yet still easy) ways to harden an egg so it can be dropped from a height withought large coatings, skins, protection, etc.

If you drop the boiled egg on the top or the bottom of the egg, it will not break. The top and bottom of the egg are the strongest points of an egg.

unit above had a broken water line and water came into my unit-wood floors are bad along with paint-i had no insurance,is he liable by court?

Ouch.  His insurance will not cover this unless you sue.  Then it would fall on his liability coverage.  Condo insurance is pretty cheap.  Even if you are not interested in covering your personal property, you should have coverage for the condo itself plus liability coverage and loss accessments.

A lesion is a non-specific term referring to abnormal tissue in the body. It can be caused by any disease process including trauma (physical, chemical, electrical), infection, neoplasm, metabolic and autoimmune. Not all lesions require treatment. Lesions can also be inflicted intentionally during surgery, for example to specific regions of the brain to treat epilepsy.

New Delhi: As Delhi's top politicians were served notices for owning alleged illegal constructions, Union Urban Development Minister Jaipal Reddy on Saturday said the Centre was formulating a policy for a "win-win" solution to the problem of unauthorised structures.\n\n"All unauthorised structures cannot be treated on the same level. There is a need to look at the degrees of violation. We will prepare a policy to reach a solution to this problem," he told reporters here. \n\nThe policy would prescribe penalty according to the degree of violation. It would discriminate serious building violations like construction on public places from minor offences like building an additional room flouting the building plan, he said. \n\n"I need to consult the Delhi chief minister, leaders of all parties and the governor before framing a policy," he said. \n\nMeanwhile, the demolition drive in the national capital will continue, he said. \n\nRegarding the observations of the high court on corrupt officials in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, Reddy said that "the situation was fairly serious". \n\n"The concerned organisation must take cognisance of the observations and take steps," he said.


can we see what a molecule of light looks like?\nCan we see what the basic structure of light looks\nlike at an molecular level?

There is no such thing as a "molecule" of light. However, there are packets of light energy called photons that sometimes behave like waves, and sometimes behave like particles. We can measure their effects. For example, in the photoelectric effect, photons bump electrons out of their position  around atoms and create electric current.

What does "unit" means in connection with a college or university? How many lessons have one unit (approximately)?\nthx

A unit means one hour of class per week.  A typical college and university class is three units, which means that yous spend in the classroom about three hours a week.\n\nFor example, college scheduling would say that a three unit course could be a one day a week 3 hour class, a 1 hour class three days a week (usually Monday, Wednesday and Friday), or 1.5 hours twice a week (usually Tuesday and Thursday).\n\nThere is also the term "lab unit" which is used for some of the science courses.  That is typically one hour a week of a science lab, in addition to a three unit science course.


I've tried using Linksys' 64-bit and 128-bit encryption for its wireless router. When I try to use them, I lose my SBC Global DSL connection to the internet.

You internet connection isn't going down but only the ability of your wireless devices to access the internet. Once you enable encryption on your router you then need to configure you laptop/pc's wireless connection to match the ssid and wep key. Once that is done then your connection should work just fine. Wep isn't the best security but it is a start. If you are going to use it then I would use 128bit and disable broadcast ssid. \n\nAs for configuring your laptop/pc it depends on if you are using an application or depending on windows to control the wireless card. An external card could be using an application. If it is an internal built in card then more than likely it is being controlled by windows. You can go to your network connections and verify. If so then there is an option to configure your wep settings.

The Internet used to be such an interesting place...

Probably not so soon. The internet is growing quickly to become a gigantic hub for information exchange and it seems that there will be enough people in this world who wants to share their varied experiences on a regular basis. On the other hand, there are also enough people who would want to read other people's stories. So my take is, blog will remain quite popular for the next five to ten decades before human video implants become mainstream.


Do you think you could do any push-ups with someone sitting on your back who weighed 250 pound?  \n\nWhat about if they weighed 350?  Could you still do any push-ups with that much weight sitting on your back?\n\nOr what about 420 pounds?\nWould you even let them sit on your back if they weighed that much?

It is possible, but it depends on where on your back the person is sitting.  The farther down your spine they sit, the longer the fulcrum becomes.  Someone sitting on the small of your back is kind of like doing pushups with your knees on the ground.  But you don't want then any higher up.  The higher up they go, and also the heavier they are, the more risk you have of getting a bad injury.  The more force applied down on you, the more strain you are getting to all of your joints.  Take it from someone that was in the Army and did pushups with a 150 pound rucksack on...  Use a backpack with some freeweights first.  Or just switch over to widearm or diamond pushups.

I know go to the gym, I have stuff a busy schedule that on my off days I just sleep or lounge all day. My fried told me about two pills not sure if I am spelling them right, "Hoodia and meridia". I'm kinda scared to take medications that I don't understand how they work. Do they really help with losing weight. I think my best bet is to just buy some equipment and put them in my basement them I'll be able to workout anytime I have the energy, but first I want to get an idea on how the two pills work stated.

I haven't myself, but my parents went together. They both quit for a good while, but stress got them to smoking again. It seems to work initially, but it's up to you whether or not it lasts. They also said it was a lot of fun, and wasn't what they expected. They were a little apprehensive as well, but they recommend it to others. Good luck!


So there's this guy I like very much.\nBut...\na) He's taken\nb) While playing truth/dare when I asked him all of the crushes he's ever had he didn't mention me...\nc) He's my best friend. :o\nd) His gf is my best friend too. \n\nPoints for him liking me:\na) He said he does.\nb) We're best friends. Hang out alot... etc.\nc) While playing Truth/Dare he asked me if I was daring him to kiss me... I didn't have anything of the sort in my mind...\n\nPlease give me long repetative answers.

i dont think going for him after your best friend had him is such a good idea unless shes cool with it.  but i do think he likes you though..try kissin him on the cheek once or twice over a week span and see how he reacts..my e-mail is foxybabe0483@yahoo.com if ya wanna ask some more!!

A microscope (Greek: micron = small and scopos = aim) is an instrument for viewing objects that are too small to be seen by the naked or unaided eye. The science of investigating small objects using such an instrument is called microscopy, and the term microscopic means minute or very small, not easily visible with the unaided eye. In other words, requiring a microscope to examine.\n\nThe most common type of microscope—and the first to be invented—is the optical microscope. This is an optical instrument containing one or more lenses that produce an enlarged image of an object placed in the focal plane of the lens(es).\nSimple optical microscope\nA simple microscope, as opposed to a standard compound microscope (see below) with multiple lenses, is a microscope that uses only one lens for magnification. Van Leeuwenhoek's microscopes consisted of a single, small, convex lens mounted on a plate with a mechanism to hold the material to be examined (the sample or specimen). This use of a single, convex lens to magnify objects for viewing is still found in the magnifying glass, the hand-lens, and the loupe.\n\n[edit]\nCompound optical microscope\nThe diagrams below show compound microscopes. In its simplest form—as used by Robert Hooke, for example—the compound microscope would have a single glass lens of short focal length for the objective, and another single glass lens for the eyepiece or ocular. Modern microscopes of this kind are usually more complex, with multiple lens components in both objective and eyepiece assemblies. These multi-component lenses are designed to reduce aberrations, particularly chromatic aberration and spherical aberration. In modern microscopes the mirror is replaced by a lamp unit providing stable, controllable illumination.\n\n \nBasic microscope main elements ocular lens or eye-piece \nobjective turret, or nosepiece \nobjective lenses \ncoarse adjustment knob \nfine adjustment knob \nobject holder or stage \nmirror \ndiaphragm and condenser \n \nStereo microscope\nThe stereo, binocular or dissecting microscope is designed differently from the diagrams above, and serves a different purpose. It uses two eyepieces (or sometimes two complete microscopes) to provide slightly different viewing angles to the left and right eyes. In this way it produces a three-dimensional (3-D) visualisation of the sample being examined.\n\n \nScientist using a stereo microscope outfitted with a digital imaging pick-upThe stereo microscope is often used to study the surfaces of solid specimens or to carry out close work such as sorting, dissection, microsurgery, watch-making, small circuit board manufacture or inspection, and the like.\n\nGreat working distance and depth of field here are important qualities for this type of microscope. Both qualities are inversely correlated with resolution: the higher the resolution (i.e., magnification), the smaller the depth of field and working distance. A stereo microscope has a useful magnification up to 100×. The resolution is maximally in the order of an average 10× objective in a compound microscope, and often much lower.\n\n[edit]\nSpecial designs\nOther types of optical microscope include:\n\nthe inverted microscope for studying samples from below; useful for cell cultures in liquid; \nthe student microscope designed for low cost, durability, and ease of use; and \nthe research microscope which is an expensive tool with many enhancements. \nthe petrographic microscope whose design usually includes a polarizing filter, rotating stage and gypsum plate to facilitate the study of minerals or other crystalline materials whose optical properties can vary with orientation. \n\n\n\nThe Parts of the Microscope\n-----------------------------------\nThere are eleven main parts to a microscope. At the top of the microscope there is a cylinder that is called the ocular or eyepiece. That is where you look to see the magnified image. The ocular is connected to the body tube that lea


Please say no swear words in your answer

IMHO: Swear words are invented and used for two reasons: 1. to verbally demonstrate that what you want to say should be taken more seriously than what you normally say, OR 2. to warn or threaten the listener that you are emotionally moving into a more dangerous level(physically threatening).

I am a very shy person and every time I try to talk to her I can't think of anything to keep a good conversation going.

i agree with pancharito because that is how it normally works.  normally girls with good personalities are better than the good-looking ones.\n\nof course, maybe she is good  looking and nice.  if she is, then that is great.  there are good-looking girls out there who have great personalities, but most of them i'd say don't.\n\nas far as keeping conversations going...just be yourself, find out what she likes, and if you have anything in common, start talking about that.  maybe you have a class together or both like a band or sport.  you can find something.  talk about something that's happened to you recently.  tell her a story about yourself.  ask her how she is doing, if she had a good day at school, what she did the past weekend, etc.\n\nbut you need to realise that you can't make people like you.  they have to like you for who you are and sometimes that requires them to realise something in you that they like.

Big Bang theory \n\nIn astronomy, a theory according to which the universe began billions of years ago in a single event, similar to an explosion. There is evidence for the Big Bang theory in the observed red shift of distant galaxies, which indicates that they are moving away from the Earth, in the existence of cosmic microwave background, and from other data. The Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe is accepted by most astronomers today. \n\n\nScientists have recently found that the expansion of the universe is actually speeding up. This effect is attributed to the presence of dark energy.


When an atheist swears on a Bible before they testify in court do they have to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth since they don't believe in God?

I am a cop and in a court of law, you do not swear on a bible, you are actually asked If the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.  You raise you right hand and answer.  Never once do they mention god, or religion.  Well in Louisiana that is.

Looking to find a way to compare the governor of Florida's benefits to teachers in the state.

Each governor makes different amounts obviously. In Florida, the governor makes $123,175 a year, plus the standard pension and benefits of a state employee. Teachers make vastly different amounts across the state and even at the same school, depending on experience, etc. The state average is $41,578 as of the 2004 school year.\n\nEdit: I can't find information that detailed online. You may want to contact the Governor's Department of Policy and Budget at one of the sites below.

my children live with me and my husband.  My ex-husband doesn't pay child support and is over $4,000 behind.  He doesn't want the burden of the children and the costs anymore and my husband wants to adopt them.  Can we do that?  I have to go to court this month for back child support, can we just go to court and mention it there or do we need to get a lawyer and if so, how much is that going to cost (ball park figure)?

in my state its as simple as contacting an attorney to draw up any legal paper work your X signs the forms stateing that he gives all rights to you , thats it once its final with the courts you can then make arrangements for the adoption process . my sister is in a similar situation , if you where fighting him it would be a completely different story ,he is willing to do this ,, is almost the same as haveing a noncontested devorse, if you both agree then theres nothing to fight over .. call you court house , some states offer a legal aid program ,  and if you qualify thier service could be free , hope it all works out for you

It varies from person to person, depending on what your income is and how many exemptions you claim.

The voluntary part is to have it deducted from your payroll. If not, you have to send them a check every quarter.


good indie rock band from tyler, tx\n\nbest indie rock out there, in my opinion

I love Eisley! "Telescope Eyes" is such a great song! I was so happy when I found out about them! It's some good music!


this are things that you can get confused all the time, because you might see things where there are not, but a good way to find out is to ask your friends what does she do when they ask her about you, what are you for her? if she call you and say nice things to you, its clear she likes you, if she cares at where you are or what you do, but one thing, dont let time go by without telling her, you may regret it later if you never find out, for me ist better to know that somebody doesnt love me than spending my whole life thinking what would had been if i told her.

I just don't get the reference, beer isn't free? Is that the point, it's not free at all?

Gratis versus Libre is the distinction between no cost and freedom, a distinction not made by the word free in the English language.\n\nIn hacker slang, another common term for gratis is free as in beer. Free as in beer refers to things which are available at no monetary cost (like free beer at a party). It can be contrasted with the expressions free as in speech, free as in freedom, or free as in rights, which refer to something which is free of restrictions, as in the freedom of speech.\n\nSince the advent of the free software movement, these terms have entered frequent use for categorising computer programs according to the licenses and legal fetters that cover them, and both this expression and the term gratis are used to distinguish freeware (gratis software) from free software.

Free if possible..no sending emails..I did that already lost so many money trying to find something wherein I really can get paid...

Nothing in life is free. In order to make money you will have to invest at least a small amount.  \n\nI would recomend doing some kind of Ebay selling.  It is easy to learn and doesn't require too much dough.  You will only have to pay for insertion fees and then a percentage on any sales that you do make.  \n\nThe only things you really need to be somewhat or very successful on Ebay is products that LOTs of people either want or need.  And you need to be honest.  As long as you do both of these you will do well on Ebay.

How can there be Yahoo Answers if no one asked a question? But should you ask a question(as I am doing now)you get penalized 2 points. But if there were no questions, what would there be for people to answer? The logic is like having a swim club in which you want people to join and swim. But charging them a penalty if they get wet by swiming. Should you be able to ask a question penalty free? I know there are many who ask lame and stupid questions, but the "minders" can always just retract those.

I think the idea is that everyone knows the answer to something, so if you ever run out of points you should be able to find a question you can answer to earn more points.  That provides an incentive for more people to answer questions.

A fatwa (Arabic: فتوى) plural fatāwa (فتاوى), is a legal pronouncement in Islam, issued by a religious law specialist on a specific issue. Usually a fatwa is issued at the request of an individual or a judge to settle a question where ’’fiqh,’’ Islamic jurisprudence, is unclear. A scholar capable of issuing fatāwa is known as a Mufti.\n\nBecause Islam has no centralized priestly hierarchy, there is no uniform method to determine who can issue a valid fatwa and who cannot, and upon whom such fatāwa are binding. Some Islamic scholars complain that too many people feel qualified to issue fatāwa.\n\nThe Sheikh of Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Muhammad Sayid Tantawy, who is the leading religious authority in the Sunni Muslim establishment in Egypt, said the following about fatāwa issued by himself or the entire Al-Azhar University:\n\n"Fatāwa issued by Al-Azhar are not binding; individuals are free to accept them or not. It is the right of Muslims in France who object to the law banning the veil to bring it up to the legislative and judicial authorities. If the judiciary decides in favor of the government because the country is secular, they would be considered to be Muslim individuals acting under compelling circumstances." [1]\n\nBecause of the proliferation of anarchic and dangerous fatwas, especially death sentences from people pretending to be Muslim scholars, and to avoid fatwas being used as a propaganda technique among non educated people, some countries like Morocco where king Mohammed VI is also Amir al-Muminin (Commander of the faithful) have tried to organize the field by creating a scholars' council (conseil des oulémas) composed of muslim scholars (ulema) which is the only one allowed to issus fatwas.\n\nIn nations where Islamic (sharia) law is the basis of civil law, fatāwa by the national religious leadership are debated prior to being issued. Thus, they are rarely contradictory. If two fatāwa were contradictory, the ruling bodies (combined civil and religious law) attempt to define a compromise interpretation that will eliminate the resulting ambiguity.\n\nIn nations where Islamic law is not the basis of law, different Muftis can issue contradictory fatāwa. In such cases, Muslims would typically honour the fatwa deriving from leadership of their religious tradition. For example, Sunni Muslims would favor a Sunni fatwa over a Shiite one.\n\nThe overwhelming majority of fatāwa are on mundane matters (for examples see the archives linked below). Those declaring war or pronouncing death sentences are not at all representative, despite the attention they draw in media, but have become widely renowned, such as the 1998 Fatwa proclaimed by Osama bin Ladin. This has given rise to the use of the term fatwa to apply to statements by non-Muslims that advocate an extreme religious or political position, such as those made by Pat Robertson regarding the assassination of Hugo Chávez.


I don't like the way the USA supports Israel and all the things they do to the Palestinas it just is not right

I lived in Israel for 3 1/2 years and was witness to the senseless violence perpetrated by Palestinian militants on Israelis.  If groups like Islamic Jihad would forego violence and terrorism and attempt to achieve what they want through diplomatic means, they would achieve far more, far faster, than they do by this protracted, senseless war.  What do Palestinians think, the Jews should just sit around on their thumbs and let themselves be attacked, and not defend themselves?

u=(1/3)x^2  and v=x-2x^2\n(u^3)v = ((1/3)x^2)*(x-2x^2)\n(u^3)v = ((1/9)x^6)*(x-2x^2)\n(u^3)v = ((1/9)x^7)-((2/9)x^8)\n\n\nNote: the notation used for u could also be interpreted as u=1/(3x^2) - if this is the case, use the same method substituting the correct equation for u (or post the question again with parenthesis).  Similarly, u^3v could mean either (u^3)*v or u^(3v), but again, the same method of substitution could be used to express the second expression in terms of x.


I think it's a tough one but I can guess the popular choice..

Tarantino. Both make "cool" movies, but Tartintino's are more formally inventive and influential.  I'll bet Ritchie is influenced by Tarantino among others, but not the other way around.


Several things including Indian Removal, The Nullification crisis and introducing the "spoils system"\n\nFor more information, view the link below.


i love having sex, but most guys can only go halfway in because they are small. what should i do? should i do it with someone big to stretch out?

if your not getting any pleasure than you have a personal problem. try using a toy, they have many many sizes. also when you find the person you love and you get married, and you are together with them. than size does not matter, either way.


I have a Linksys that I am not too happy with, and I'm thinking about buying a new one. Who makes the best, most reliable router?

There is no best one, however, your problems may be related to how you've set it up.\n\nThings to do:\n\nTurn off SSID broadcasting\nEnable MAC address filtering\nTurn on WEP or WPA encryption\nMake sure you're on a clear channel\n\nLastly, other devices, such as some cordless phones (those running on the 2.4ghz frequency) etc, can interfere with your wireless router.\n\nIf you've done all those things, and you still have problems, there may be issue's with that particular router, i.e., maybe it's a lemon.


I'm about to go nuts with my computer. I'm having problems trying to install my camera and scanner. I've done everything the way I was suppose to, I think, and it just won't work. I can't really afford to take it back to the shop, and I'm not so sure, when I do take it there, that I'm not being took.  Is there such a way that someone can go in my computer, like online, and see stuff, or fix things. And if so, is there anyone out there, that would take pity and try to lend me a hand? If not, I will appreciate, any good enexpencive advice. I've been trying for a week now, and it's about to drive me nuts. Thanks in advance.

There seems to be no option that some else can see your system online, but if you can describe your problem more clearly..you will definitely  get help..Just try to  find yout where is erroe..even if that is a problem, tell us the error generated..


Would you honestly date a guy who has body hair meaning his arms, legs,and chest?

Well I did. He had a beautiful face but I didn't find out he had hair everywhere until we went to the beach. I was freaked out but then since he was such a nice person and treated me right well I looked passed that.
