this goes along with the mutual fund question.

It stands for Individual Retirement Account, an investment plan that permits you to save each year toward your retirement.  You don't pay taxes on the interest you earn until you're at retirement age, and you may even be able to deduct your contributions (up to a limit)from your taxes.  It depends on whether you have access to another retirement plan (i.e. 401K from your employer), and your annual income.


I looked and I think I seen the object, here at the 46 longitute "S./W. Mt. but It sure wasn't about the size of the Moon at that time like the Weatherman said and that's using Clear - Reasonably Light free Air.

In October, 2005, Mars came within 42-million miles of Earth\n\nIn 2003 it came the closest it has in the last 50,000 years -- 35-million miles\n\nYour weatherman who said it would be as large as the Moon must have been smokin' some wacky tabacky :)


Is it just me or is everyone else here disgusted with the amount of mis-spelled words on Yahoo Answers?  It's ridiculous!!!  If I read one more question or answer with misuse of the words your/you're, or lose/loose, or the worst--there/their/they're, I'm going to freaking lose it!!!\n\nDo they still teach English, grammar, or spelling in schools?  And we're supposed to have one of the best educational systems in the world, right?  \n\nSheesh!!!

I no wut you meen. :) People learn how to speak properly, they just don't care and forget how to do it. Lose/loose, your/you're, they're/their/there misspelligs are real annoying..


I am 55 years old and was displaced from employment about 1 year ago and currently working several jobs to hold me over until I find something in my field.

Do you support the Bush Administration?\n1) Yes or No\n2) Why

No.\nFirst off - I didn't want another Dynasty like the Adams in the 18th and 19th Centuries.\n2.  He and his minions are eroding civil liberties that we all take for granted.\n3.  He swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, and he is ignoring each and every admendment of it.  Why take an oath to do something, when you weren't going to follow it.\n4.  His Vice President - Dick Cheney - never disavowed Haliburton, and is still being paid the company to sway no bid contracts (which is illegial) to them for Billions of our taxpayers money.\n5.  Most of his administration is corrupt, taking bribes.\n6. Leaking secrets to the press, then spending Millions in dollars trying to cover it up.\n7.  Jailing reporters because they don't like the truth printed about them.


i know to do it when b=d but what about it when b is not = d

NO WAY Why?\n\nF(t) = A Sin(wt)\n\nA called the magnitude : how high the sine function reach\nif A =1 the sine is between 1 and -1\nif A =5 the sine is between 5 and -5\n\nW = 2*pi*f where f is the frequency : how many period during 1 sec\nif w=1 f=1/(2pi) this means at t=2pi we will have one period\nsin(2pi)=sin(0), one period for each 2pi\nif w=2 >>> one period ecah pi\n\n\nSO when the function is expressed by the sum of many sines, many differents frequancies, impossible to regroup them in one frequency\n\nTHe basic frequency called fimdemental and the other frequencies called harmonics (mulpitles of fundemental)\n\nFourrier Series gives the magnitude of all harmonice of unregular from, BUT IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO JOINT MORE THAN ONE FREQUENCY IN ONE TERM\n\nlike 3x^2+4x^5 since the powers are differents we can't sum or add them in one term

auxiliry device failiure time of day not set please run setup program what setup program do i run?

The only web pages I could find with all the words you mentioned are users guides for Dell PowerEdge systems.\n\nI think there are 2 errors:\n\nerror 8602 - an auxiliary device (mouse, keyboard) is not (fully) connected\n\ntime-of-day not set..run setup: - faulty system battery\n\nI'm not sure if setup program is some software you got with the machine or just running the setup program that is part of the computer BIOS (the stuff that's going on when you first boot up, assuming you don't just have a large "DELL" logo to stare at!)\n\nSo, check out the links I've given.  Check out the cables (connections).  Check your user's guide for using the BIOS setup.\n\nGenerally the wrong time and date doesn't prevent you from booting the machine, however the boot-up will pause to give you a chance to set it correctly.  Are you SURE you can just hit ENTER to continue?


i think i might have clamydia my ex bf's ex girlfriend told me that he gave her clamydia and i might have it now i think ive had some symptoms ive had irregular discharge kinda looks like mucas...

Chlamydia is currently one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases — about 4 million cases of chlamydia occur in the USA each year. However, about half of all men and three-quarters of all women who have chlamydia have no symptoms and don't know that they have the disease. The disease is transmitted by the Chlamydia trachomatis bacterium. It can be serious but it is easily cured if detected in time. It is also, and possibly more importantly, the biggest preventable cause of blindness in the world. Blindness occurs as a complication of trachoma (chlamydia conjunctivitis).


Ive been in the airforce for 4 years so far and cant get my beret to look right. Any answers?

I'm in the Army and I agree with Cecil (LOL). But you chose your branch and now you gotta wear the (faggy) headgear, right. \no Start with a new cover. The old one already knows its bad habits it's time to hang it up.\no Since it's wool you want to shave the fuzzies down to give it a crisp form for forming and make it look better. Use a pack of cheap AAFES brand razors. They nick your face up but they are perfect here. Spread the material and shave EVENLY be careful not to go too thin in places or too deep. Use something smooth and rounded to place underneath to make it firmer. Don't forget to shave the inside too this will make it better to form\no After you shave that puppy. Use a lighter sparingly to get those small places you missed. Then iron it flat on high heat.\no Soak it in water don't just get it wet and put it in on your noggin for shaping. Since its wet it will form better but it will shrink when it dries so you got to stretch the material a little as you go around\no Where you've made creases hit in with the iron again\no After you got it shaped spray hairspray on it. This will lock in the shape you formed. Put a small saftey pin in the flappy part to the brim to make sure it stays that way.\no Let your cover dry over night in the shape. \nAlways fold your head's dust filter the same way when you store it after use


I'm Just Wondering. And Also, Please Answer Only If You Know. Thanks!

Distillation involves boiling water and then collecting only the vapor that condenses. The condensed vapor will not include salt or most other impurities. To distill, fill a pot halfway with water. Tie a cup to the handle on the pot's lid so that the cup will hang right-side-up when the lid is upside-down (make sure the cup is not dangling into the water) and boil the water for 20 minutes. The water that drips from the lid into the cup is distilled.

Read everything. Not just things in which you're interested. Spend just as much time listening as you do talking. And make it a point to learn something new on a regular basis. \nAlso, keep an open mind to new ideas and thoughts. A closed mind learns nothing.

does it hurt the first time you have sex and how does it feel

If you use lubricant, foreplay, and above all, relax, it shouldn't hurt too much. If you are not comfortable with it and you tense up, it hurts worse. (I asked this same question on a teen site about sex, I may be wrong. Try typing "Teen nurse" into google, they have a lot of material there about almost everything you would need to know, I hope.)

I'm talking about the time during some church services when the children come to the front for a quick message.  These are often, but not always object lessons.  Usually they go along with the theme of the message the minister is about to preach.

This movement was around since the 1970s when it was primarily the hippie crowd and, ironically the tobacco companies that wanted it legalized for recreational use. (See tobacco company memo excerpt in references below)\nThen we didn't hear much about it for about 20 years. \nSuddenly in about 1995, it rears its head again in 2 ways:\n1.  It is suddenly a miracle drug used for glaucoma, cancer, chronic pain etc.\n2.  We suddenly have a fiber crisis and need hemp as a solution.\n\nIn both cases, media stories went from 0 to thousands in a matter of months.\n\nI don't doubt it helps people forget their pain, but it seems like there are probably better medicinal solutions than being stoned all the time, and the hemp thing is just ridiculous.\nBoth, however offer a convenient way to flood the countryside with hard to regulate weed.\n\nAgain, If it really helps, I don't have a problem with the really sick having permission to grow a few plants.\n\nhttp://www.drugwatch.org/Tobacco_Marijuana_Media.htm

Why is it so important for so many people to intrude into the lives of others?  A better question to ask other than "Why should it be leagalized?" is "Why is it illegal?"  Why has the government decided that some drugs (alchohol, nicotiene, caffiene) should be legal for unregulated consumption, and a basically harmless soft drug like marijuana with debatable medicinal benifits is demonized and thrown into the same catagory as herion and cocaine which like alchohol have ruined millions of lives and killed millions of people?\n\nWhy are you so concerned with what people do with their personal time?


How does it work?\nwhat are its uses?\nwho invented it or 'founded' it?

You will want to reference the following web pages in detail.\n\nWikipedia web page on particle accelerators.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_accelerator\n\n"High energy accelerators use a linear array of plates (or drift tubes) to which an alternating high energy field is applied. As the particles approach a plate they are accelerated towards it by an opposite polarity charge applied to the plate. As they pass through a hole in the plate, the polarity is switched so that the plate now repels them and they are now accelerated by it towards the next plate.\n...\nThe earliest circular accelerators were cyclotrons, invented in 1929 by Ernest O. Lawrence."\n\nStanford Linear Accelerator Center Virtual Visitor Center website.\nhttp://www2.slac.stanford.edu/vvc/accelerator.html\n\n"Quite simply, accelerators give high energy to subatomic particles, which then collide with targets. Out of this interaction come many other subatomic particles that pass into detectors. From the information gathered in the detectors, physicists can determine properties of the particles and their interactions. \n\nThe higher the energy of the accelerated particles, the more closely we can probe the structure of matter."

Somtimes you feel that you got over that person passing away. But when you get in a room alone you tend to just break down. And it does't matter what anyone tells you, you know that you could never see that person again!How can you know that your gonna be alright?

wwell honey i hate to tell you this but you will never " be over it" i mean eventually you will be able to think about it without crying everytime and you will have days where you dont think about them and that stuff but the pain never goes completly away because the love never goes away. just know that they are in a better place. and trust in God. he will help you and know that other people are mourning the loss of that person and they would want you to be happy. hope this helps. God bless you


I fish wva waters and find it hard to catch brown trout.I see them but they do not bite.often following the fly all the way in.

The brown trout can tolerate slightly warmer waters than the brook trout and have taken over some of the fisheries formerly inhabited by the brookies. It is much more wary than other trouts which help ensure its longevity in waters where other trouts get fished out.\n\nWhen brown trout fishing look for quiet water with lots of cover. Logs, under cuts in the bank, rock shelves, overhanging trees and brush are some of the brown trouts favorite hiding places. The larger they get, the more wary they become and are more inclined to feed at night under the protection of darkness.\n\nBrown trout feed on worms, minnows, insects and crustaceans. Dry fly fishing for pan-sized browns is a favorite technique as they rise well to these crafty presentations. Larger browns tend to feed more on flesh and favor nutritious crustaceans, worms or small fishes. When fly fishing for large brown trout use wet flies which mimic the local natural baitfish.


I saw some people criticis instead of answering a question if you do not like it do not answer it????

I would like to know what the sexual term "douche" means. Please give me a more than basic answer, if possible.

Nothing sexual about it, my friend.  \n\nDouching commonly means rinsing the vagina with water and/or a special solution using a container, tubing, and a nozzle (known collectively as a douche). In the past, women were advised to douche to prevent pregnancy when used right after sex, to treat vaginal infections, to wash away vaginal secretions, and to reduce odors.\n\nNot only is it not sexual, the word and description make me want to curl into a ball and not talk for days.

Dozens of people were reported killed today in a stampede during a symbolic stoning ritual at the Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. Government officials said the number of people killed was unknown, but one unnamed medical source told Reuters more than 100 were dead. "It is more than 100," said the medic in Mena, outside Mecca. Reuters earlier said its journalists counted at least 50 bodies lined up on the ground and covered in white shrouds.

I think in a way u are using the same argument as Pascal. He said the same thing - there are better consequences for believing in a God. But u know what, there are other factors that have to be taken into account. For instance, how do u know WHICH God to believe in? U just believe in Christianity, u don't know if it's true. So what happens when u kick the bucket and u find out that u've been praying to the wrong God? There are many more questions like these that need careful consideration before u just enter the bandwagon of praying to a God.\n\nTo Giggly:\nWell, that's a totally screwed up way of looking at it, but i would say yes.

Is there anything in my diet I can change in addition to the exercise I do to reduce the puffiness in my face?

Sodium causes water retention. Try and cut out some of the salt in your diet. Be aware that you don't have to physically sprinkle salt on your food for there to be a lot of sodium in in. Tomatoes have a lot of naturally occurring sodium. Also, drink more water (around 100oz. a day to lose weight, or in your case, puffiness). It'll flush your body out and hopefully reduce the puffiness. There's a simple exercise you can do that goes like this to tighten up your neck (which will make it appear to be less of a double chin):\n-Lean your head back and look at the ceiling. Jut your jaw bone out so that your bottom teeth overlap your top (instead of the other way around). You should be able to feel the muscles in your neck stretch out. Return to start position. Do this 18 times, 3x a week.\nHope this helps!!

I know it takes 4 hours to enter REM cycles during sleep so if you get less than 4 hours does sleep even matter?

It's not worthless . . . just not as beneficial.  Even a few hours sleep will recharge your muscles as well as increase blood flow to your brain.  But, REM sleep is necessary.  Go a day or two without it and you will begin to suffer memory loss, poor concentration, and difficulty completing simple tasks.

Filament of 100W lightbulb has 100 ohm resistance.  At 20 V the filament is red, what color is the filament at 100 V?  \n\nI know that the photons will be at a higher energy level, but I'm not sure what equation I should use.  Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Since most 100W lightbulbs are white, I imagine yours will be also.  There are probably different electrons that are being shot up to different energy levels and the combination of all their different colors makes white.  This would only be true of specific substances like Tungsten (which is what lightbulb filaments are indeed made of).


A CAR RENTAL COMPANY CHARGES $30 FOR ONE DAY AND 5 CENTS FOR EACH MILE DRIVEN. THE EQUATION C= 0.05m + 30 SHOWS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COST c FOR RENTING A CAR 1 DAY AND DRIVING m miles. if the car is driven 295 miles, which is the best estimate of the cost of the rental?\n\nF. $35\n\nG. $45\n\nH. $55\n\nJ. $65

your variable m stays for "miles".\nYou thus just have to put 295 instead of m and do the exact reckoning: 0.05*295 + 30  14.75 + 30 = 44.75\n\nNow choose from the options the one which is closest to your number: 45\n\nIn this way you cannot do wrong


i have a good store and need some capital to open it back up or sell it

Well, the first questions any lender is going to ask is, "If it's a good store, why is it closed and why are you thinking about selling it?"\n\nThat in itself is going to make lenders nervous, however, if you have favorable equity in your building above the first mortgage amount and the fair market value, that should overcome all.  If you don't own the building or don't have equity in the building, you are going to have trouble in my opinion.


i like a girl i m just her friend, i want to become her best friend,actually i m less than a friend,i have herd she was ditched by a guy how can i make her trust me?

Come on, it sounds like you don't really want to be her best friend.  You have romantic interests in her, right?\n\nLet me get some thing straight here.  Unless that girl is a very special person, you are either a romantic interest, or you are just a friend.  I hope you know how to choose.\n\nBut here is the answer: guys that end up being friends with girls are non-threatening, trust-worthy, a good listener, sensitive, and generally all the good stuff that girls want, but are not looking for in a romantic interest.  Express your concerns for her, and be attentive when she has something to say.  Making friends with girls isn't that hard, but most guys will never have that, because they are only interested in girls for other reasons.  Figure that out, and you are there.


For example, FIREFOX. I downloaded it a few months back, how do they go about making money and competing w/ IE ?

Quite frequently, software companies or Internet service providers will distribute their software for free, but charge a monthly user fee if you want to use the program after a certain trial period.  The income they receive from the monthly fees is much more than the cost of distributing the free software.\n\nMozilla, the providor of the Firefox programs. also sells advertising that displays on their programs.


how to optimize code? Shall I use ASM or bit operations?

use bitwise operators. something like:\n\nnum_bits = 0;\nfor(i = 0; i < 32; i++) {\nif number & (1<<i) num_bits++;\n}\n\nnow num_bits holds the number of bits that were set in number. The "<<" operator does bit shifting. So "1<<i" equals a number that's all 0's except for a 1 at position i. If you bitwise and that with something, that tells you if that bit is set in the number. So we do this for each of the bits and add up the results.\n\nThis is assuming 32-bit integers. Adjust accordingly for 64-bit integers.


dream, mental activity associated with the rapid-eye-movement (REM) period of sleep. It is commonly made up of a number of visual images, scenes or thoughts expressed in terms of seeing rather than in those of the other senses or in words. Electroencephalograph studies, measuring the electrical activity of the brain during REM sleep, have shown that young adults dream for 11/2 to 2 hours of every 8-hour period of sleep. Infants spend an average of 50% of their sleep in the REM phase (they are believed to dream more often than adults) a figure which decreases steadily with age. During dreams, blood pressure and heart rate increase, and breathing is quickened, but the body is otherwise immobile. Studies have shown that sleepers deprived of dream-sleep are likely to become irritable and lose coordination skills. Unusually frightening dreams are called nightmares, and daydreams are constructed fantasies that occur while the individual is awake. Studies have demonstrated the existence of lucid dreaming, where the individual is aware that he is dreaming and has a degree of control over his dream.

A RIDDLE THAT'LL  KILL YOUR BRAIN! \n\nThis is going to make you so MAD! There are three words in the English language that end in "gry". ONE is angry and the other is hungry. EveryONE knows what the third ONE means and what it stands for. EveryONE uses them everyday, and if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word. What is it? _______gry? Send this to 5 People and the answer will pop up on the screen automatically.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.\n\nGry is also an obsolete unit of measurement, equal to 1/10 of a line, which is in turn 1/12 of an inch. Hence, a gry is 1/120 inch or about 0.212 mm. \nThe -Gry Puzzle is a popular puzzle that asks for the third English word, other than "angry" and "hungry," that ends with the letters "gry." Aside from words derived from "angry" and "hungry," there is no stand-alone word ending in "gry" that is in current usage. Both Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged (Merriam-Webster, Inc., 2002, ISBN 0877792011) and the Oxford English Dictionary, Second Edition (Oxford University Press, 1989, ISBN 0198611862) contain the phrase "aggry bead." To find a third word ending in "gry" that is not part of a phrase, you must turn to obsolete words or personal or place names. A list of 130 of these is given at the end of this article.\n\nSo, basically, this puzzle has no good answer. Yet it has become the most frequently asked word puzzle. It is so common that it is a standing joke [1] on the Stumpers reference librarian list server [2] that it's time to change your car's oil when it is asked anew. The regular readers of the Usenet newsgroup rec.puzzles [3] coined the word "nugry" [4] to describe a (presumably) new reader who posts a frequently asked question.


I read about it in some article from last weeks newspaper...that NASA's going to go to Pluto, then to the Kuiper Belt...but what is it really?

GREAT QUESTION!!!!\n\nThe Kuiper Belt is the "leftovers" from when the Solar System was formed. It exists out past the orbit of Neptune.\n When our Solar System was forming out of an interstellar cloud, most of the matter was gravitationally pulled to the center. This caused the center to heat up until fusion began and our Sun was born. What was left behind began spinning around the new Sun and eventually became the nine planets, asteroids, and moons that make up our stellar home. \n There is an Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter that is made up of mainly rocky objects, but this is not the Kuiper Belt. As the Sun became hotter and hotter, it actually "melted * " all of the ice in the inner Solar system and pushed it out to the outer solar system along with most of the excess gas and dust left over from the Sun's creation. What was left in the inner Solar System was the rocky-- or terrestrial(Earth-like)-- planets of Mercury, Venus, Earth-Moon, Mars and the Asteriod Belt. \nThe ices, and gas that was pushed out farther became the four gas giants-- or Jovian(Jupiter-like)-- planets of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and all of the icey Moons that orbit them. \nIf the theory is correct, that why Jupiter has most of the excess mass left over from the Sun's creation at that part of the Solar System. It was far enough- and cold enough away from the Sun for the ice to become solid enough again. The cooler gas, collapsed down to become mostly Jupiter at that distance from the Sun. (That's why it was such a big surprise to discover Jupiter + sized planets around other stars at distances very close to their sun.) The rest of this gas became Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. \nFarther out than Neptune, the only things left were unmodified (not melted) ices. \nTHAT'S THE KUIPER BELT!\n It's believed to be another "asteroid belt" of sorts, but it is made up of mainly "dirty ice" which is mainly different kinds of ice and water ice with rocks and dust--think of it as dirt-- thrown in.(Astronomers can't just call something as simple as dirt, dirt, so they call it dust. Dust includes stuff like dirt, rocks, and anything else you might find in an interstellar cloud.) \n That is what Pluto and it's Moons are made of, as well as the recently discovered objects that are a little smaller than Pluto, and the one they found that is larger.\n That's why people are now questioning whether Pluto should be called a planet, because there are probably millions of these "Trans-Neptune objcts" out there waiting to be discovered. These little snowballs are of interest because they are basically undisturbed relics from before the Sun existed and can tell us quite a bit about the early Solar System, the Earth, and us!\n These ices should be different for the icy moons of Jupiter, Saturn, etc. because they weren't melted and pushed out away from the Sun. They were always far away beyond the orbit of Neptune and left undisturbed. \nStick around for the next 9 1/2 years as our Pluto spacecraft flys out there and notice all of the other discoveries of new Kuiper Belt Objects in the years before it arrives!!!\n ------------------------------------------------\n* Ice can't "melt" in the vacuum of space, so it goes straight from a solid to a gas. (We call solid water, for example, ice, and gaseous water, water vapor.)

how does it works and how can i construct it in core java?

A computer, including software package, that provides a specific kind of service to client software running on other computers. More specifically, a server is a computer that manages and shares web based applications accessible anytime from any computer connected to the Internet.\n\nA Web Server is a computer on the World Wide Web (connected to the Internet Backbone) that stores HTML documents that can be retrieved via a Web browser.\n\nA computer that delivers (serves up) Web pages. Every Web server has an IP address and possibly a domain name. For example, if you enter the URL http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html in your browser, this sends a request to the server whose domain name is pcwebopedia.com. The server then fetches the page named index.html and sends it to your browser. Any computer can be turned into a Web server by installing server software and connecting the machine to the Internet.


By the way if you say yankees i will not make your answer the best one.

The Astros caus they keep getting closer and closer to winning the world series and im a big fan. (I'm guessing your a Red Sox fan since you dont like the Yankees)


f(t)=0   for t<0\n    =t   for 0<t<T\n    =T   for t>T\n\nCan you solve this by integration of \n\nF(t)=[integral 0toT]t*e^(-st)dt+[integral TtoInfinity]T*e^(-st)dt \n\nand then by finding the laplace transforms of the each of the terms of the function defined by unit step functions, i.e. f(t)=t-t*1(t-T)+T*1(t-T) ??  \n\nSee if you end up with the same answer for both methods.  I can't seem to.  Or is there only one correct method???

i'm not sure what you mean by the 2nd method.  can you elaborate?  the first way sounds correct.\n\nEDIT:  okay, i think i see the problem the way you've phrased it in terms of the unit step functions.  they don't describe the same function as the original piecewise f(t).\n\nconsider your equation in terms of the step functions:\nthe first term is equal to t everywhere.  the second term t*1(t-T) is equal to zero when t<T, and is equal to t when t>T.  the third term T*1(t-T) is equal to zero when t<T, and is equal to T when t>T.\n\naltogether the way you have it written, \nfor t<0, f(t) = t-0+0 = t,\nfor 0<t<T, f(t) = t-0+0 = t,\nfor t>T, f(t) = t-t+T = T.\n\nyou've already said this stuff so far, but i'd like to point out that this is not the original function you specify, which is equal to 0 when t<0, not t.  what you should have is a thing that is zero until t=0, then ramps up at a slope of 1 until t=T, then is equal to T thereafter.  what you have now in terms of the step functions is just a constant ramp up to T, all the way from t = negative infinity.\n\np.s. the - sign inside the unit step function *is* a subtraction.  1(t) is defined as 0 when t<0, and 1 when t>0.  subtracting T shifts the step over to t=T.  it's just like f(x) = x^2 is a parabola with a minimum at x=0, but f(x-2) is the same parabola shifted to the right by 2 units.\n\np.p.s this means, i think that the 2nd term should be t*(1(0)-1), instead of -t*1(t-T).  then this describes the original piecewise function.


My best freinds are doing an school assignment with him and they are scared to talk to him about it so im the messenger. Should i ask the guy out??

Why sure, go for it. My boyfriend that I have been with for Almost four years now, and our relationship is still going strong, Im like 21 and he's 23. Some people say girls mature faster than men, which I think is so true. But I really don't think age matters unless there like a minor or something, but hell yeah go for it.


People were crying and fainting,most people were really scared as you can imagine,at first even the teachers didn't know it was a drill,the cops came and there was even a helicopter

be happy, you had an exciting experience and it didn't involve homework


how can i remeber more things for an upcoming test? what are some tips

What cause vitiligo? what are the treatments? \nIs there a topical medicine that can be used?

Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder wherein white patches appear on different parts of the body. This occurs when 'Melanocytes'- cells that make the 'melanocyte'  pigment in the skin , in the mucous membrane inside mouth, nose, genital, rectal area & in the retina of eyes are destroyed. It occurs on both sides of the body in the same location. Both males & females at any age can be affected although 50% have it before 25 years of age.\n\nCause: No scientifically approved cause is known yet.\n\nTreatment: No known cure for it. Some treatments are Laser B clear, XTrac Excime Laser which use laser that deliver UVB light; PUVA THERAPY- uses UVA light( risk of skin cancer); Depigmentation therapy, Self-Tan products, Airbrush tanning, Camouflage makeups etc.\n\nMelanocyte transplantation done in Noble Vitiligo Clinic in Bangalore, India claimed 80% success rate. You can go through their website for details.\n\nTopically Corticosteroid cream can be applied in the early symptom of the disease. It is simple & safest but takes a very long time & may not be the most effective.


wife believes in them, i'm 37, athletic, healthy and feel i am just consuming and adding to pharma wealth..

Multiviatmins should be taken only if there is any deficiency or to recoup health after illness;  that  too for a short period.  Otherwise it is harmful to the body.


Tell me how you feel about it??? Does it annoy you?? Have or r u recieving help with it?

OCD is commonly caused by a caffeine allergy if the person has not done alot of cocaine or meth. It also stems from allergies to food dyes, refined sugar and a deficiency of essential fatty acids. (Omega 3 and 6) \n\n\nIt can be treated by these means. Suppliment the EFAs, eliminating processed sugars, refined starches, food dyes, and caffeine from the diet and supplimenting with Niacin and plenty of b vitamins and alot of C as well. Make sure you take a good multi vitamin everyday. \n\nProzac and the like will make you so much worse in the long run. The end does not justify the means. Rage, Suicide, and psychotic behavior stem from use of these type drugs.\n\nhttp://www.fastq.com/~jbpratt/recipes/allergiesintol/blproblems.html\nhttp://www.cookingforengineers.com/article.php?forward=http://www.cookingforengineers.com/2005/02/kitchen-notes-additives.php\nhttp://www.welcometothedancecaffeineallergy.com/\nhttp://www.doctoryourself.com/caffeine_allergy.html\nhttp://www.holistic-online.com/Remedies/Anxiety/anx_OCD-alternative-therapies.htm\n\nA Yahoo group you can join and get help:\nhttp://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Naturally_OCD_Free/?tab=s

or at least somebody gives me the nth derivate of y=e^u

There is no closed form for the nth derivative of this function.  I symbolically calculated and factored the first 50 derivatives on MathCAD, and there was not a pattern.  Sorry, but you're out of luck....


Of course, this varies by state and even county, but I think if you just go to the courthouse and file...they can take care of it. Usually you have to pay a constable or sheriff about $35.00 to go serve them but if they can't find him then it can become some hefty fees. The best thing is to go to your courthouse and ask if you can do a Publication. They advertise that person A is seeking a divorce from person B, and if no one responds they count it as a default and they lose all say in the proceedings. The best thing is to contact your local courthouse and ask.


Do you think the Apollo 11 landing was a hoax?\nThis question has been asked by many people. I believe it was fake. I just want to know what you think of it.

it think it is a hoax... "The astronauts have kept out of the public eye", something happend. they were on their way to the moon, but i don't believe they have been on it! if you look around, read about it, it will become more clear. the pictures they have made don't match the actual event... i think they have been made in a hollywood studio. there has been pictures with some major mistakes, like the shadowing, footprints etc. everybody got his own opinion, and this is mine: it's a hoax.

im 14 and i have acne on my back and i heard it might be because i play tennis? i have acne on the top of my back benth my neck. someone told me it was a common tennis thing but im not sure so i was wondering if it is and who i can perevnt it?

I don't know about tennis, but it's a common TEENAGE thing, period.  Make sure to wash, maybe using acne soap - if that doesn't help, go to your doctor and ask for something stronger.


A point P moves along the spiral path r=(0.1)theta ft, where theta is in radians.  The angular position theta=2t rad, where t is in seconds, and r=0 at t=0.  Determine the magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration of P at t=1 s.  \n\nNot sure how to approach the problem, we've tried dr/dt=dr/dtheta * dtheta/dt.  That gives dr/dt=0.2, which just doesn't seem correct.  Is this right, or if not, what method would be a better approach?\n\nAny insights would be greatly appreciated.

In polar the velocity vector is v = [ dr/dt, r * d(theta)/dt ]\n\nSo r(theta) = .1 * theta and theta(t) = 2t so:\n\nr(t) = r(theta(t)) = .2*t\n\nSo now:\n\ndr/dt = d/dt(.2 * t) = .2\nd(theta)/dt = d/dt(2 * t) = 2\n\nSo then the velocity vector becomes:\n\nv = [ .2 , 2 * .2 * t ]\nv = [ .2 , .4 * t ]\n\nAnd at time t = 1 we have\n\nv( t = 1 ) = [.2 , .4]\n\nSo finding the magnitude of the velocity vector:\n\n|v| = sqrt( .2^2 + .4^2 )\n\n----------------------------\nNow for acceleration:\n\na = [d^2(a)/dt^2 - r * ( d(theta)/dt )^2 )\n, 1/r * d( r^2 * d(theta)/dt )/dt ]\n\nAnyway, we note that\n\ndr^2/dt^2 = 0\nd(theta)/dt = 2\n\na = [ - .2 * t * 2^2, 1/(.2*t), .8 ]\na = [ -.8, .8 ]\n\nSo then |a| = sqrt( (-.8)^2 + (.8)^2 )


Software was invented by nerds who played with the college computers at night. Software was invented to play games with. Dont believe it was invented to help you. Nerds say that to get you to buy software that you will use and they will use to play games with you, although you dont relize they are. they can monitor you making all those mistakes on your computer, and they are laughing at you. Why do you think your operating system can be re-programed by any one in the world who has internet access and knows how to do it? Do you think decent people would design a system that will allow anonymous strangers to re-program your computer so it will do whatever they want it to do? Do you ever have a problem when your computer offers to do something for you if you click on an icon, you click and it does something that you dont want it to do? What has happened is you have been fooled into thinking that your computer understands your language. Like duh..it s a machine! it doesnt understand englis

Nice theory, do you belive in conspiracy theories so often?\n\nIndeed, many programmers ARE NERDS, (not sure if I am, but for this answer, yes, I'm afraid), but they doesn't make software to control all you do, some of them do it, but not all of them.\n\nBuild software it's not as simple as building a house, not everything is invented, indeed, the programmer is inventing the whole thing, so that makes a lot of room to make mistakes, a lot of mistakes. There's were hacker's sees an opportunity to get into your system. But wasn't the initial intention of the programmer.\n\nI'm sorry to even answer this question, but user like you makes me think twince when giving a right or bad answer to someone the other side of the line.

Go to a school that has a media department or TV station. I would recommend Columbia College in Chicago. While you are in school get several internships at TV stations and production houses. You will really have to network to get those positions. Most of them are free-lance.


Looking for natural (quality) remedies that actually work.  Diet, herbs etc....

oh my goodness. My husband has lived with kidney stones for years. It really depends on the type of stones your body makes. For my husband, he makes uric acid stones. These are from the body not being able to break down protein. He finially found something that disolves them called uricit-k If you don't want to go to the dr. and you make these types of stones you can use baking soda. 1 tea. 3-4 times daily. You will belch like crazy and it tastes horrible but it works. They also sell baking soda pills but you need a rx for it. Also drink plenty of water. They reccommend 2 gallons a day for my husband. But get real, who can drink 2 gallons of water a day? He really did try too. He got 1 1/4 gallon down and that was all he could drink. good luck


Im already in Basketball and Tennis. I got 6.93 on the 50 yd dash in gym, I've golfed since i was 9.

I have a different view. Golf, as well as tennis, provides a lifetime of recreational and social opportunities. If you become skilled in golf, it will undoubtedly provide a lifetime of satisfaction as well as numerous social and business contacts. Golf also presents the opportunity to learn a different set of skills. It requires patience, emotional control, an emphasis on sportsmanship, and  the ability to be self-reliant. All of these skills help in other areas of your life, as well as in other sports. You obviously have to decide based on your personal interests and skills, but I would recommend that you strongly consider golf.

I want to know if people really can be hypnotized to do tricks, remember things, or whatever.

Hypnosis is basically the implantation of a command or suggestion into a person, when his analytical mind is reduced or unaware to some degree. There is no such thing as a "hypnotic trance", it is just a less aware, or very relaxed, state.\n\nThe problem, however, is its workability. Results are soooo random. Most people can not be hypnotised, and many will not receive an implant due to self-belief or strength of mind or will.

hello. I'm a muslim, but as of late, I've become interested in christians who say they have a relationship with god. It seems as if muslims preach to fear god only. As a result they try to stick with a stern set of rules and believe this will make them into good people. Of course it usually doesn't. This happens with some christians also. Alot christians however, say they have a good relationship with god and that they genuinly love god, and god loves them. So how does a muslim establish a relationship with god? Do muslims even have a relationship with god? It seems as if they just fear him. Still, Islam is Americas fastest growing religion, so there must be something I'm missing. Feel free to explain and comment!

There are good and bad in any religion. For the Christian, a relationship with God means loving him and obeying him with all your heart, to submit to his ways, but also to understand you will never be perfect. The entire relationship is based on love.  There is no oppression, only freedom of spirit. God (jesus) became man to demonstrate how much he loved us. The greatest act of love for anyone is to die for another person. Jesus did this on the cross.  So we would not forever be trying to be perfect with good deeds, so we could go to heaven.  He knew we would never be perfect, only making mistakes, no matter how hard we try to do good deeds. His death compensated for this imperfection. This is where our freedom is. When we accept his act of sacrifical love for us, then we enter into his freedom, and the eternal forgiveness of God. Even when we make mistakes, we are already forgiven.  \n\nThe size of a religion does not tell how happy or fulfilled the people are.  Many people, including Christians, are in their religion because their parents teach them the religion. Parents do their best and teach what they know..\n\nEveryone now is searching for the Real God - the one who loves them and always forgives them when they are sorry. If you are asking these questions, the spirit of God is touching you, and calling you into his presence. He wants you to have more than what you have now. The relationship is not in a church or a mosque.  It is in your heart.\n\nI have written my experience with this loving personal God. You are welcome to have a copy of my book free.  My goal is to spread God's desire to have a personal relationship with his children to everyone.  Let me know if you would like a copy.

It just doesn't make sense to me how people can be so cold-hearted to other human beings.

I'm not from the US, but that animosity is reserved for obese ppl the world over!!\n\nI think it has to do with the misconception that fat ppl got fat cause they have no control over their eating habits and therefore appear to have low self-control, are indisciplined and weak.\n\nIt's wrong, of course. But its human nature to feel superior to any perceived notion of lack of discipline or weakness. Which instead of resulting in understanding and tolerance usually comes out as snide and contemptuous.\n\nMost fat ppl I know are NOT fat coz they eat like mad monkeys, but it’s hormonal or psychological in nature which triggers irregular eating habits among other reasons for obesity.


I act with her just like other employers, shall I:\n\n1. laugh at her silliest jokes\n2. compliment her stupid ideas\n3. tell her that I like her dress while I'm not\n4. flirt her from time to time although she is not my type at all!!\n\nin other words "kiss her buttt!!!" (not literally!!!), do you think this is gonna lead to a raise or something like that?? do you suggest it??

Careful - #3 & #4 can not only cost you the job - but maybe end up in court as well.\n\nWhat will lead to a possible raise is doing your job the way your boss wants it done.\n\nOne thing that I would suggest is that you keep a work journal. Write down your boss' stupid ideas, why she thinks it is a good idea, why you think they are stupid, what you would do instead to get better results.  Over time you will be able to see a pattern of how the boss makes the decisions that she does. Once you can understand her reasons - then you can offer suggestions that are just what she would do. That is a great way to get a raise or promotion!

Did he do it? Why was he a suspect and if he did do it (even though whats happened) what was his motive

He did it.\n\nThey had a tremendous amount of physical evidence, such as blood, that proved he did it. In addition, they had testimony from witnesses that made it pretty clear that he was acting suspiciously and  was doing things, like hiding bloody gloves, that proved his guilt. The defense lawyers were somehow able to convince the jury that the police and prosecution were racists and, therefore, they should let OJ go.\n\nHis motive was that he was jealous of another man being with his ex-wife.


Am I alone in expecting much more from our leaders. Where are the real patriots.  Where are the heros.  Do you fear your government?

we've been conditioned to accept, or at least tolerate what the powers-that-be come out with. Our nation has been dumbed down and dehumanized into thinking everything they do is either okay because of the sterilized language they use, not worth getting all fired up about, or at the very least, knowing there is little to do about it to make any type of significant change.\nIf this country were filled with real patriots and people with guts and a beefy education in history, you wouldn't see the types of administrations in present and recent years last long whatsoever, if not entirely prevented.\nBut people are used to be getting dealt BS so they won't see much of a reason to look further than what they're getting. Especially when the BS itself is downplayed as being normal or just too confusing sounding..blame the media for this.\nDictatorships and fascist states have come along in peacemeal and seemingly-trivial events.\nIt's all about getting the people to accept more and more small steps towards being totally controlled. And once we're totally controlled, most of us won't even know.\nthe bigger and more spread out the lies, the easier they are to believe.\nGetting people to be mad at each other over insignificant and chickensh** issues goes a long way in the distraction process to mop up the rest who do see the harmful steps being imposed. Then there's the minority who see it all and know what's going on, only to be badgered and ridiculed by the rest.\n\nthe guy who answered before me, hot_iron_smith is right. there is no difference between the parties.\n"they're two sides of the same coin. two management teams bidding for the CEO position of slavery incorporated." ^1

I want to a R&B singer To give my parents stuff they don't have.

When I was very young, I practiced with a tape recorder. When I was fourteen, my Father bought my Mother an organ for their anniversary. I learned how to play it out of the instruction books that came with the organ.\n\nAt a flea market in Crosby, Ontario, a year later, I bought an old guitar for twenty bucks. I took classes with my Dad at the after-school program, and I practiced night and day. Within two months, I had passed the teacher.\n\nNonetheless, I was not a great guitar player, or a great singer. In Grade 13, I became enamoured with the blues, which I heard on late night Sunday radio.  I began to work at learning this style, and had started a bar band devoted to the blues within a couple of years. Though I was not a great singer, I had vocal range, and I worked at singing, too.\n\nWe got on the radio basically because our bass player was a promo hound - would not take no for an answer. At this point, I had become the group's sole singer. We started to explore beyond the limitations of blues by listening to, and then playing, things from the Stax/Motown era.\n\nWe got a horn section, and started playing some Tower of Power. We scrimped, saved, and planned, and stored up enough money to hit the studio, which we did in 1993. We put out a CD that year, recording the bed tracks in my parents' barn, and doing the horns and vocals in the studio.\n\nIn terms of developing vocal chops, here's what you do. Record yourself singing - a lot. Be a harsh critic of yourself. Don't give the recordings to a friend to judge, as they will feel they have to pump your ego - assume that everything you hear that makes you cringe is a real problem, and then work at it.\n\nVocal lessons can help as well - especially if you do not think you are a great judge of your own skill, an objective outside opinion helps. Plus, they will teach you how to breathe and read music, pretty useful skills for studio recordings.\n\nIn terms of business success - hustle mercilessly. Don't take no for an answer. Promote yourself constantly.

As a president he couldnt make me feel more alienated.  He doesn't call or even write anymore.  Ever since he got elected he walks around like he's some big shot and doesn't need anything from anyone.  Just wait till his term is over and he comes crawling back.  I can't wait to turn my back on him.

For me, winter! It's more romantic! But...I like summer too! It's cool!\nThanks for all!

No question for me. Summer! I would be outside on the water. I get cabin fever in the winter. I live in a spot that can get very cold, but we never seem to get snow. I'm sure with the snow (instead of the massive rain) it would be just amazingly beautiful! But something about summer, being outside, even the humidity and sweat make you feel healthy. I can't wait for warm weather!

i have tried putting lip gloss and lip balm but instead of curing my lip, it would swell a lot. i have tried changing my soap but it still would dry up my lip.

lip gloss won't do anything except slick your lips.  Actually, most of them could be detrimental.  Balms are the way to go.  I use chapstick.\nTry brushing your lips when you brush your teeth to slough off the dead skin.  Then apply a lip moisturizer directly afterwards.  \nDrink a ton of water, because it hydrates, obviously.  Lick your lips as LITTLE as possible, because saliva will dry them out too.\nI hear Burts Bees products are very effective, but like I said, I just use chapstick.


i want to own or reach a thing soo much..but whatever i try i can't fulfill..then i began to think perhaps it's better for me to not reach what i want..but on the other hand i feel frustriated myself..because it's my only dream now that i want to come it true..i'm hesitating,just about to giving up but sad also..what's the better way for me?


Compare the American policies towards Iraq in the Iran - Iraq war, and then the war between Iraq and Kuwait. In the war between Iraq and Iran, the United States completely supported Iraq, and even provided them with chemical and biological weapons to use against Iran. After that when Iraq invaded Kuwait United States supported Kuwait, and fought with Iraq. And know Saddam Hussein is in trial by Americans for what Americans wanted him to do. Using Chemical and Biological weapons against Iranians and specially kurds, inside the Iraqi border.\nWhy did the United States first support Iraq and Saddam Hussein, and now is putting him in trial. Isn't that what Americans really did?

The US Government, for the most part, is ill-informed about the Mid-east. All we are proving is that we are the biggest kid on the block.\nBesides, war is always a money maker and an economey improver.


Can you legally copy Christian lyrics and put them into one book for use by a church choir?

If the lyrics have a current copyright (which is likely for anything less than a hundred years old), and you don't have the permission of the copyright holder, you are in violation of copyright law.\n\nHere is a link to FAQ's from the US Copyright Office:


I am looking at a mini and a nano. I want to know which would be a better fit before I consider gigabytes, etc.

Both iPods run on the same software, and will interface just fine with panther. The Nano is a newer iPod, and MUCH smaller than the mini. It also has a color screen and I'm pretty sure the storage options are the same for both. I'd definitely go for the Nano


I'm a Mets fan, and I'm sick of Atlanta winning the NL East.

I've picked against them the past 3 years (even though I'm a long time Braves fan).  However, Bobby Cox is a great manager, and they always have just enough to win the division.  I feel that Leo Mazzone played a great role in their success due to dominance of the pitching staff and his ability to retread seemingly washed up pitchers.  Now that he's gone, I think we'll really see how important he was.  I've got a feeling their pitching won't be as good without them.\n\nThen again, even if the pitching falls off quite a bit, they've got a LOT of good young players with some experience under their belt, and their offense could turn out to be better than usual.\n\nIn my humble opinion, the Mets should win the division with all the trades and signings they made.  If they don't, then they need to make a lot of orgainizational changes.

i'm serious. i want to know what do u people think about Israelis, how they cope with the problems with the Arabs?\ndo u think the Arabs' request (to get their own state on Israel's land) is logical when we have 25 Arabic states all over the world, given that Israel is TINY???

It's bizarre since all arabs have the same language, culture and history.\n\nIt is also odd since Israel is smaller than the size of New Jersey and the arab states are huge.\n\nAdding to the confusion is that every arab country is totalitarian, and we really don't need more of those in this world (i.e. yet another place where women are subjugated, people's rights are trampled, etc).\n\nPresumably the madness will end when the USA is no longer dependent upon arab oil.  The likelihood is that no one will care and the arabs will all kill each other (as they did in centuries past).  In the meantime, the USA is somewhat dependent upon the Israelis not rocking the boat too much, and the Israelis do their best to comply with American directives.

I asked a question and got several answers.can i reply to a person personaly or does it have to be through tjis sight? Thanks.....

This Is a Question I have asked myself also.\nIm gonna give it a shot though I think I might know Since no one ever told me.\nto get into Yahoo answers You have to sign into yahoo. These would make me to belive that If your Name is (kos101) Like mine is then it would have to be kos101@yahoo.com. I have seen people ask a ? and ask someone to e-mail them back at josmith@hotmail.com But in your answer you can put anything in so that might be there main e-mail account or junk mail account. I have sent some e-mails back to people with there name/Yahoo.com and I have always reached them. But Remember some People dont like it when you do this. They want a answer not 200 e-mails saying Im sorry your dog died If you ever need to talk e-mail me. \nAnother This you can try to do is when you ask your ? at the end ask Kindly If I like your answer Can I please e-mail You. If they say yes then you have your answer. \nI hope this is the Correct answer. If not then you can e-mail me and tell me Im a butthead. LOL\nNote I also relized that when you log into yahoo answers you can have it list yourself if you dont do nothing it will use your yahoo name like (kos101) But if  I wanted to i can go to the edit section and just have it list my name as john or dave. But most dont do that. But ask first like I said to in your Q&A's

Looking  for  a movie  about  a teenage  girl  that  lives with her mom  and  the  girl  goes to  another  country   to find  her  dad  who  turns out to be  rich.

The most probable answer to your question would be (as far as i know) is the movie "What a girl Wants" starring Amanda Bynes. Its a nice movie to watch.


It sounds like you've got quite a project, and little time to do it. I've included a couple of links about speakers and how to make a "home made" speaker out of cardboard and copper wire.\n\nIf the object is to make a speaker with a 'coil', the second link is the one for you. However, if you simply need to make an "amplification" device, check out the 4th link, on the page it's called "Getting in the Groove", and makes a sound using an old record player/ record.\n\nBest of luck.


why do people even reply when people do that? i feel like puking.

I saw a kid do it and was wondering if it was legal

This move is performed when you use the Irish Whip into the turnbuckle and then run in and spin around, slamming your backside into the opponent's chest, knocking the wind out of them.  It IS currently legal, and was made famous as the finishing move of "Tugboat" in the WWF in the 1990s.


And is there a difference between being left home alone for an afternoon versus overnight? (Did you hear the story about couple who went to Vegas for days, leaving their 9 and 5 year old at home in CA?)

California does not have a legal minimum age at which a child can be left alone.\n\nHaving said that, California does have child endangerment laws, the most stringent of which can put you in prison for up to six years.\n\nAs to the issue of an afternoon versus overnight: absolutely.  There is no legal difference, per se (in other words, there's no law in California that says you can leave a kid for an afternoon, but not an evening), but the longer you leave a kid unsupervised, the greater the potential for you to incur liability for prosecution if something happens.  Would I leave my 15 year old home alone?  Yes.  Should you?  Depends on your 15 year old...it's pretty subjective at some ages, but clearly a five year old should not be left home alone at all.  A seven year old, when all you do is run next door to borrow a cup?  Again, depends on many things.

wat can be the problem of bleeding after sex can i become pregnant if im bleeding

If it is your first time, then it was perfectly normal. After first sex, bleading cause of the tear of hymen, that protect your virginia. But if it isn't ur first time, then may be that time you are not relaxed. If not, then I advice please contact to the doctor. No, you are not pregnant if you took any precaution, like condom, pills etc.


A little while ago I broke-up with my boyfriend, we weren't having any trouble to speak of, but we knew that we were not in a relationship that would lead anywhere because we had differing beliefs. Neither of us wanted to break up but we both agreed that is was the best thing to do. I thought I was getting over it, but lately I have had some pretty explicts physical thoughts about him. How do I get rid of these feelings, because there is little to no chance that we will end up back together?

As the saying goes...time heals all wounds. Move on with your life, spend time with loved ones, find a new hobby or resume an old one, make new friends, start a journal to write down your thoughts so that you can work through them...the key thing is to put him out of your mind and eventually, out of your heart.


I don't have any pets because I would rather not deal with my allergies. I am tired of people telling me to "go get allergy shots".  Since I moved out of my Dad's house (he has a dog) my asthma has improved 500%. I just want to leave well enough alone.

No, to me it is no different than the decision to not have children.  Anybody who truly feels that they do not want children should not have them, so why should it be any different if a person doesn't want pets?\n\nWould people rather you got a pet and then neglected or mistreated it?  (Not saying you would, just making a point.)Telling you to "try it out" is wrong because it can lead to hardship for both you and the animal.

What if I'm making a personal copy of sheet music that I bought? If that's legal, then under what circumstances is it illegal?

Based on the way that you worded your question, yes it's illegal.  But based on what it seems like you'd be doing with it, probably not.  If you'd be photocopying it in order to distribute and resell the copies then you'd have some legal issues (unless you paid ASCAP or BMI).  If you're going to make 2 copies for the bass player and the keyboard player, you're probably okay because ASCAP would find it unrewarding to hire an attorney to go after you for the $.50 in royalties that the music represents (although technically it's illegal).


on a stranger who displays similar traits? True life story, I was six years old in 1977, my mom took me to a circus in minn, as she got tikets I wandered off behind one of the tents. There were rows of open bar cages full of tigers for the show. There was a an awful racket, to my six year old dissmay, a trainer was wipping one of the cats w/ a bull whip through the bars. WHACK! The tiger was all cowered in the corner, whincing at every lash. Thoses are some of the childhood memories that stop abruptly, cause mom had me by the ear dragging me back to the ant lines of civilized life where such things should not be viewed by a child. The circus show was amazing! These animals would roll balls and jump through fire hoops stand on thier hindleggs and spin. All thing I'm sure every tiger does in the jungle when he's boared. There was that whip too, only it wasn't the same one, this one was show w/ chrome tassles and such. At the crack of the whip, one tiger leapt from his post and began

What dose it mean when you really like a guy and he dose not know,and he said he hates you but he is steel nice to you like he likes you

GODD PURR YOU NEED TO SHUT UP>! GET A LIFE. HE DIDNT MEEN HE HATED YOUUU. SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST SAY THINGS. OKAYY? HES PROBABLY RELE SWEET To yOU AAND POSSIBLY LIKES YOU. VoTE ME aS BEST ANSweR


no i really try but never seems to work  smoking every year


I want to download some songs I like, but where?! I would highly appreciate it if anybody has the website for it. One that is FREE and LEGAL for real!\nPlease help me!!!!!!

Be aware that Limewire is a P2P (Peer-to-Peer) application and NOT a web-site...  Still, I would, recommend LimeWire - because one, it's wide-use and two, it's an open-source application - it'll be a very difficult application for the RIAA to regulate because of the fact!  Plus... it's fast - connection dependent, of course!  Visit the site below, download, and have some fun!  Good luck!


One of the most moving and uplifting songs - regardless of whether you're religious or not.

If you’re in a spiritual mood, it's a very well done song.  Great for reflection and realignment when you’re feeling a little lost in the crowd.


Hi,\nI am using the blowfish algorithm for my project. I read the paper that Bruce wrote, but couldnt understand it fully....Can please some explain it to me??\n\nPlease...dont paste the same thing that is on the website, tell me what you understand!\n\nThankyou!!!

IT is a Copy Paste But may be of some use....\nBlowFish\nBlowFish/TwoFish is a widespread security algorithm, which was published by Bruce Schneier in the beginning of the year 1994. This algorithm works similar to DES and it uses block coding with blocks of a size of 64 bit. BlowFish was spread very fast after its publication, due to the fact that Bruce Schneier is one of the most famous cryptology experts and that this algorithm can be used without licence fee. In addition, using this algorithm data can be en- and decoded with high speed. If the routine for BlowFish is implemented in software, a disk space of less than five kilobytes is sufficient. You can vary the size of the key as as you like up to 448 bit. That is why this algorithm with its 2 448 different possibilities is protected against any Brute Force Attacks. \n\nThis is how the encryption algorithm BlowFish works: \nBlowFish defines two different S boxes, a P box and four S boxes. The P box P is a one-dimensional field with 18 32-bit-values. The boxes contain accidental values, which are implemented in the code or generated during each initialization. The S boxes S1, S2, S3, S4 contain 256 32-bit-values each. \n\nThe BlowFish initialization looks like this:\n\nThe key string is converted into 32-bit-values. \nThe entire content of the P box is substituted by the values xor’t. \nThe P box is now encrypted like the S box. \nBlowFish encryption (block size: 64 Bit, rounds (r): 16):\n\nThe data element is divided into two parts L and R, each of 32 bit. \nL is xor’t with P r. \nR is xor’t with f(L). \nL and R are interchanged. \nThis is done 16 times, until r =16. \nR is xor’t with P 17. \nL is xor’t with P 18. \nExplanation of function f:\n\nThe incoming 32-bit-value (L in this case) is divided into four 8-bit-vectors X1, X2, X3, X4. \nWith the help of these vectors a 32-bit-value is selected from every S box. \nThe result is linked by addition and xor. \nFor decoding data, the entire process is performed the other way round.


Soon I won't have any feathers left at all.

What you need, is a pillowcase with thicker material, or more tightly woven cloth...

I'm getting a new laptop for online playing (shooting,strategy), should I go with the expensive laser mouse, or will the optical mouse serve me just as good when it comes to games?

Optical will be just fine.  Laser is almost overkill for your application, unless you are planning to be an architect or graphics artist?!


I have no idea what collogen (sp?) is, and how it works.  I thought that was what you had injected into your lips to make them look pouty.  There are lots of weight loss pills that have it in them, and it's said to be 'safe' according to the radio!
