I've been trying to understand some of these online privacy agreements. Most of seem to be on the up and up, except for one term that scares me, "aggregate user data". It sounds like something a politician would say. Extremely vague. In the case of online friends websites, the amount of information entrusted to them increases the scope of "aggregate user data". I did a search and found it to be a very standard term used in most privacy agreements. Much of the time I've found assertions that "we do not link aggregate user data to personally identifiable information." The freinds website does not make that claim. What does it all mean?

Those are elements assembled into a logical format to facilitate comparisons OR to elicit evidence of patterns. Those elements by themselves cannot identify no one in particular but when you link them to others it is possible to identify some people based on their profile. In example you link certain people with certain phrases or way of speaking or writing. Those are element you can put together to find who is the writer or the speaker.


AJAX in Action and Professional AJAX are very popular, and there is also Foundations of AJAX and some other books. Which one do you think it's the best AJAX book out there?

Ajax in action is much better than prefessional ajax.\n\nmanning's ajax in action helps you get the hang of ajax.


i need to study and just feel lazy to do so.. how can i push my self out of this mood..

I don't think you have a problem with frusteration so much as you have a problem with procrastination...putting off what you need to do.  There is no easy answer except self discipline and self motivation.  I actually understand your feelings cause I am an expert in procrastination, but the horrible feelings of the probable consequences when the time approaches to face the consequences of procrastination is usually enough to get me motivated these days.  Simply put.....you gotta grow up and do what you gotta do and the sooner the better.  How do you get motivated?  There are different answers for different situations.  You could try a self reward ritual....but you still need self discipline.  Study and finish one task....then take a break and do something you want to do for a specific time period...set a timer.  Go back to studying and finish another task..take a break (set the timer)etc.  I still use a timer when I am on the computer, otherwise I'd have no time to do chores, errands etc.  I like music in the back ground...some peppy music will keep me awake.  You have to find your own answers regardless....the quicker you get started on studying, the less tired and lazy you'll feel.  Sometimes that tired lazy feeling is because of the energy you expend on belated concern, or depression from getting into a rut.  It goes around and around till YOU decide to change your routine.  Back when I was in school, one of my major problems trying to study was my love life...or my lack of love life....depending.  I would be on top of the world cause he called and all I would want to do is think about him  If he didn't call, I would be in the dumps and all I wanted to do was think about him.....I cannot give you an answer for this, except to say I did get some studying done and I did pass my tests....and I did get through school....I just don't know how I did it.  Good luck!!!


my friend does it and i'm scared that it could be hazzardous to his health

Most likly but you shouldnt be doing that anyway you could ruin your brain, and your life. And you May become and addict of huffing. It is a VERY DANGEROUS idea. Please take my advice.


Someone told me they still havent ratified the 13th Amendment

No.  It doesn't matter if Mississippi did ratify it or not.  As long as 75% of the states did (which did happen), then it becomes part of the Federal Constitution.


You make me laugh. I feel sorry for you and your racist friends.


I personally think when you fall OUT of love, you were never really IN LOVE.  There are men I thought I loved and in a year it wore off and I couldn't get away fast enough.  These, I think, are infatuations.  Every time you date someone it seems better than the last one.  It is just new and sometimes we mistake those feelings for love.  When you are truly in love, you don't fall out.  You may not be with that person for whatever reason, but you will always love them with all your heart.  It took me half my life to find the man I married and love.  Now I know what it feels like.  I hope you find true love in your lifetime, it's fantastic.

I was just curious because people say that even with the two new judges Roe v. Wade would still stand. So i wondered in the original decision which jusitces voted in favor of it and which justices voted against it.

These are the names of the Justices:\n\nChief Justice: Warren Burger \n\nAssociate Justices:\n\nWilliam O. Douglas, William Brennan, Potter Stewart, Byron White, Thurgood Marshall, Harry Blackmun, Lewis F. Powell, William Rehnquist \n\nThis was their stance:\n\nMajority by: Blackmun \nJoined by: Burger, Douglas, Brennan, Stewart, Marshall, Powell \n\nConcurrence by: Burger \nConcurrence by: Douglas \nConcurrence by: Stewart \n\nDissent by: White \nJoined by: Rehnquist \nDissent by: Rehnquist \n\nSource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade


i've had it all my life, like everyone else who has it has-so i was born with it. but, after a recent infection from a cyst on my tailbone that spread to my back and didn't completely heal correctly, i've been diagnosed with acute spinea bifida. i'm not really sure what it is, or what it does. all i know is that it's non-curable. i don't really know what to think about any of this. does it get worse as i get older?

spina bifida is a congenital defect characterized by a defective closure of the spinal canal through which the spinal cord and meninges may or may not protrude.....it may cause a stunt in your growth and or problems with the bones in your legs...you may have to wear braces and may or may not be able to walk at all.....if you can walk you probably wouldn't be able to stand for long periods of time.....


he is still pretty mad at me. he told me that he doesnt like me the way he used too. am i doomed or can i do or say something special to get him back to his normal self. be honest people o.k. i wont get mad i just want opinions.

it depends on how he really feels and the way you make him feel if there is something that he likes that you do and you do it you may get him back but i don't know that's the best answer i have for you.

emm, I'm going to learn accountancy in college....\nI just wanna to know if working as an accountant was really cool? and what an accountant really does???

Being an accountant is not cool.  It never was, and it never will be.\nHowever, it will always be NECESSARY.  If a company makes money, they need accountants.  If a company loses money, they need accountants.  If a company makes the same as last year, they need accountants.  I think you get the point.\nIf you can get your CPA, you will have steady work for life.


I'm working for a small importing company. I have to call every Adidas outlet stores around Toronto, and ask them about their inventories.\nHow can I say this in a business-man-like manner?\nWould it be okay to say,\n\n"Hi, my name is Whatever. I'm thinking of making bulk purchase, and I was wondering whether I could get a list of your inventories, please."\n\nIs that alright?? Please don't just say it's good or not; even if you think it's good, please re-word in your own words.\n\nI'm desperate, so... please don't just skip....

I am not in that kind of business but I was taught that it is best to start with \n\nGood morning/afternoon...simply because most people don't pay attention to the first words (busy doing something else).\nYou should state whom you are working for too...and the reason why you asking for information.\n\nI am working for......and I am presently doing a survey about...Reason/because is....bla bla... I would appreciate it very much if/ I would appreciate if you could answer my request/ I would be very grateful ..(be grateful..if you want people to help !)

we heard you are going to charge money to send emails   are you??

YOU'RE RIGHT, TO A CERTAIN DEGREE!..............\n\nSAN FRANCISCO, United States (AFP) - Yahoo and America Online will offer "certified" email service that guarantees credible senders delivery for a fee.\n\nBusinesses that make the grade when it comes to legitimacy and email track records will be assured message delivery to recipients' main Yahoo or AOL inboxes for a quarter of a cent to one cent per message.\n\nGoodmail Services of Mountain View, California, worked for more than two years with AOL and Yahoo on certified email service intended to thwart phishing and other online scams, said Goodmail co-founder Richard Gingras.\n\n"The email inbox has become a dangerous place," Gingras told AFP. "It doesn't say much for our email medium when it is not as reliable or trusted as should be".\n\nCertified email will bypass spam filters and be routed directly into the main inboxes of designated recipients. Yahoo and AOL represent half the primary personal email accounts in the United States, according to Gingras.\n\nGoodmail will handle sender accounts and certify mail, which will get priority handling by AOL and Yahoo. "Postage" revenues will be split evenly between Goodmail and the Internet companies.\n\n"We will be announcing partnerships with other mailbox providers in the coming months," Gingras said. "We thought it was important to start with the big players."\n\nConcerns that personal email users will have to pay for email or that "spammers" could buy their way into inboxes were "absolutely absurd," Gingras said.\n\n"From the outset, this was a very consumer-centric solution," Gingras said. "What we've crafted is a means to allow consumers to feel safe in dealing with commercial messages."\n\nThe American Red Cross has signed on for certified email to distinguish its messages from online imposters using the charity's name to con donations from people, according to Gingras.\n\n"It should be easy for anyone in the world to get an email address at little or no cost without having to show an ID," Gingras said.\n\n"That is also the problem. People can take advantage. It is the classic tragedy of the commons."\n\nEmail is evolving to mirror traditional postal service, which has options ranging from bulk mail to express overnight delivery, Gingras said.\n\nHowever, some were worried that the new service could be imposed on customers.\n\nCommercial email senders must be permitted to decline using certified mail or they are likely to take their business elsewhere, said analyst Laura Koetzle of Forrester Research.\n\n"It's a kind of Mafia tactic because it's a lot like racketeering in order to recoup some of their costs," Koetzle said of the thought that mailbox providers could compel businesses to use certified email.\n\nHowever, Gingras insisted it was not a mandatory service. "Some less enlightened email marketers have shot back and said they don't want to be paying," Gingras said.\n\n"Certified email is an option; if they want to build trust," he said.\n\nYahoo and AOL promised that their standard email services would remain free.\n\n"For years, our top priority has been to protect users from spam and email scams, and to ensure users receive the messages they want and value," Yahoo said in a written release.\n\n"Yahoo is planning to test a new 'certified email' system from Goodmail in the coming months, with the goal of providing additional user protection against spam and phishing scams."\n\nAOL predicted it would implement certified email service within two months.\n\n"FedEx and US Postal provide that in the offline world; it's all about safety and security," AOL said in a written statement.


like if your trying to get to know someone, and u really like them...but ur afirad to say your have a child..and its been maybe 2 months and u still havent told them...they are going to find out one way or another.....how do u tell them with out getting dissed? or looking like a liarr.

If you really like this person just tell them because you will need to find someone who wants to be with you and you child. The one who can do this is the one you should hold one too. If they ask why you have not told them tell them that you wanted to make sure that they were ready to hear it before you made a commitment to them.

Howdy there!\n\nIt depends -- I bought 2 laptops in my life.  The first one in around year 2000, and the second one in 2005.  The 2005 laptop costed only $1200.00 and had great battery life, and very good specs.  I am very satisfied that notebooks are becoming a very viable solution for even home purposes.  Even cheaper laptops are quite nice.\n\nIf you are interested in hooking a MASSIVE amount of kids up with a computer that can do alot of things -- made for education -- look here: http://laptop.media.mit.edu/\n\nIf you are just an average joe, let me tell you a few things to look for in finding you the perfect laptop...\n\nFirstly, at this day and age, it's hard to find a bad laptop to do the basics -- what I mean by this is: Pretty much every computer on today's modern market will fulfill your basic educational needs.  Here are some specifications you should look for, as a mininum.\n\n- Pentium 4 Processor OR Pentium M (centrino) If you travel without the laptop plugged in.\n- 512mb of ram (I don't know how big your schematics are, but 1gb of ram offers you alot of freedom.\n- USB and ports VGA - You want to make sure this laptop can have a real mouse extended to it for when your working at home. A VGA Extension is great for dualscreen work or working on a bigger monitor.\n- Monitor Size - 14.4" + at least. WSXGA, or WXGA+ because you NEED to have a monitor with flexible resolutions.. For this WSXGA and WXGA+ fit the job perfectly.\n\nI think you should check out some of these review sites.. And if it all possible: SEE the model that interests you in REAL life, then look online for the best deal. If move swiftly, you'll have a laptop you love, and a great deal -- I am very confident that you will succeed. :)

I don't believe that math is a true science if π is an unresolved number. I think that our explanation of the universe through math is no more accurate than our explanations of god(s).\n\nπ is a bleeding flaw, no?

The real world contains minute details that can never be measured with total accuracy. But even though we can't do better than approximations, the unnatural precision in our made-up math enables us to at least better our understanding of things, as we better our approximations.\n\nI'm not sure what you mean by suggesting that math is "flawed". For one, math is not really all about numbers, it is about logic--the logic that first led us to reason that there existed transcendental numbers (also not sure what you mean by "unresolved"). I think part of the problem is that you've been led to a mistaken belief about what math purports to be. Math is not science--at least, it is certainly not a science of the natural world because a lot of real mathematics considers situations that are not considered to necessarily exist in reality. If anything, math is a science of ideas, and even that is waxing poetic a bit. As far as natural science is concerned, math is a conceptual tool--it can form the backbone of scientific theories but it is not science.\n\nExplaining the universe through math is "no more accurate than our explanations of god(s)"? How can you possibly hope to justify such a statement? Are you saying that theology, in the complete absence of math, could enable us to correctly land probes on distant planets, or design electronic computers, etc.?

Might is the subjunctive tense which implies less certainty.

it wont burn for me it says hi speed usb connected to low speed hub what am i supose to do to make it work and can you explain this to me

USB can be 1.1 or 2.0 (generally).  Usually, they're compatible, they just work slower together if you use a USB 1.1 device with a 2.0 hub.  Easiest thing, check both devices and make sure they're both 2.0.


Mass Ignorance? It seems MANY are deceived by MANY who say God & LORD are the same in the flood story; Perhaps as deceived as NBC script writers who made a Noah's Ark movie with Lot and Noah being contemporary, along with many errs. \n\nHell-o, 2 is not 7, mercy is not sacrifice. And God NEVER sees some as unclean and some as clean, for "there is no respect of persons with God".\n\nNot to mention a LORD(one) of LORDS(plural) requires get a clue or two to solve the allegory mystery, to kNOW which is witch of two LORDS in OT, even two Lords in NT, even two Spirits(Gods) we're told to try(test) when it gets to the Spirit-u-all part of natural first/spiritual afterward.

It depends on if it was a monarchy or a republic


How come a tsunami can hit a third world county and people do not kill eachother, they come together and unite.  They do not loot the local business and rape people.  So why is it that New Orleans gets hit by a hurricane and their levee system fails, floods the city and everyone in the town, including the police, loot, kill, hurt others and do NOT come together as a community until it is too late?

Social and cultural differences.  In third world countires there is a larger sense of community ovver the way people in the US react.  In the US there is a "crab mentality" and the cliche of "keeping up with the Jones's".\n\nPeople in poor nations tend to stick closer together and be more dependendt on each other so when a disasters strieks you can see it.  In New Orleans the US lifestyle of independence comes out.


I took our tax stuff to H&R Block - basic house hold, under 30,000 with a few intrest & dividen forms.  I don't think he did a good job and I am supposed to go back with one more piece of information.  He told me it would cost $295.  I thought this was a bit much.  Since I have not recieved any paper work, not signed any agreement nor completed the process; do I still have to accept the tax preperatiion and pay him or can I just take my toys and go home?

No you do not have to pay. You can just tell them that that is a bit much and you would like to go elsewhere. Get your stuff back and go someplace else. I hope you do go some where else!!

i give answers and i cant give myself answers\n i dont want to seem needy\n but i do want a boyfriend\n but i dont want...\n  i dont know what should i do should i look or just BE

All I can say to you is be patient. Your perfect guy will come to you soon. You just have to be willing to wait.


i don't know how to let go of the relationship. we broke up back in october but remained very close, and now i'm 15 weeks pregnant with his baby. when he found out, he stopped talking to me. now he wants to be a part of my life again, and his up down up down support is making this harder for me to let go. i don't know what to do, i don't want to be with him again, but i still care deeply for him. i want him to be able to be part of the baby's life... but i need the time to get over him!!

HAVE YOU TRIED TELLING HIM HOW YOU FEEL!? LETTING GO IS NEVER EASY ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR AROUND ONE ANOTHER ALL THE TIME!! BUT, AS A WISE PERSON ONCE SAID, "WHAT DOESN'T KILL US WILL MAKE US STRONGER" AN I BELIEVE THIS TO BE TRUE! I THINK YOU OUGHT TO STOP SEEING EACH OTHER ALL TOGETHER UNTIL THE BABY IS BORN(SURE LET HIM COME TO DR. APPT. AN STUFF) BUT AS FAR AS SEEING ONE ANOTHER DON'T DO IT! THIS WAY IT WILL GIVE YOU THE TIME YOU NEED TO GET OVER HIM AN HE CAN STILL BE INVOLVED IN THE BABIES LIFE!!! AN THEN AFTER THE BABY IS BORN AN IF YOU STILL FEEL THE NEED TO BE AWAY FROM HIM THEN TELL HIM! THERE ARE MANY WAYS OF PARENTS RAISING THEIR CHILDREN WITHOUT HAVING TO BE AROUND ONE ANOTHER! I KNOW THIS CAN'T BE EASY FOR YOU(BEING PREGNANT) AN ALL!! BUT, I WISH YA THE BEST AN HOPE THAT MY ADVICE CAN BE SOME HELP TO YOU! IF YA WANT YOU CAN EMAIL ME AN I'LL TRY TO HELP ANYWAY I CAN!!!\n\n\nBEST OF LUCK!!!


Do you pull in to the center lane then merge or do you wait for trafic to clear then pull on to road?

I'm assuming that you are making a left turn onto a divided highway with a center "turning" lane:\n\nto be perfectly safe, you should wait for traffic to clear on both sides before you enter the main road.  but if traffic is so dense that you can't, when the traffic on your left is clear,turn into the "turning" lane and then merge into traffic when you can.

We all have ideas about who He was/ is, but what is the real deal, can anyone really tell me?

The best way to find out about the Man is to read what those who knew him or what those who knew him wrote.  It is found in the first 4 books of the New Testament--Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

"About half of American troops in Iraq believe the U.S. military should leave the country within six months, and three out of four think they should pull out within a year, according to a first-of-its-kind attempt to scientifically gauge the opinion of troops in a war zone.\n\n"The poll, released on Tuesday by national pollster John Zogby, includes face-to-face interviews of 944 randomly selected military personnel at four large U.S. bases. Among the findings:\n\n"- 29 percent said U.S. troops should withdraw immediately. Another 22 percent said the U.S. should withdraw within six months, and 21 percent within a year. Just 23 percent said they believe troops should remain as long as they are needed.\n\n"- 58 percent said the reasons for the U.S. mission in Iraq is clear in their minds; 42 percent said it was unclear or they were unsure.\n\n"- 85 percent said they believed a main reason for invading Iraq was to retaliate for Saddam's role in the 9/11 attacks."

1- I think that the troops went to Iraq because of Israel A fared from Iraq so they Order USA government to do the job on their behave so the did 9\11 (in that day no jaw get killed)\n2- The oil\n3- the weapons co. which owns by the  government ministers and etc. must get profit\n4- seller get killed who care


How did Noah\n1. Physically gather a male and female of every species on earth - penguins and polar bears spring to mind as they occupy opposite poles (which must have been a helluva journey)?\n2. Know when his job was complete? Did God give him a "Dummies Guide to animal species"? He must have done a pretty remarkable job, because he must have saved species that weren't even discovered at the time.\n3. What about birds? He must have caught the Dodo, the Emu (Australia) and the Vulture - did he have a speedboat?\n4. How did he catch two blue whales? The largest known mammals grow to over three hundred feet in length. Did he use a net and bucket?\n\nC'mon all you bible experts. Tell me that Noah's Ark is just a story, whereas the bits about Jesus happen to be wordperfectly true.

First off, why would he have to put blue whales in a boat for a flood?? Flood, water, fish.  Think about your question.  Second who says that the world was the same before the flood as after.  No one says that the continents didn't shift, move.  Third God sent the animals,  there also had to be a miracle to keep flesh eating animals with their prey.  You haven't even brought up the fact that he built a boat the size of a world war II aircraft carrier without modern equiptment.  Since you don't believe in miracles, obviously it would be too much for a God that made the whole universe to do these things.  How about raising Jesus from the dead, or Jesus raising Lazerus from the dead.  That is harder than bringing the animals to my point of view..  If it is just a story, how do the sea shells get up into the mountains?  Too much evidence to deny the flood.  Think about the whales, it will help.  Whoops here I am out in the cornfield again.  Genesis 6:22 Thus did Noah according to all that God commanded him, so did he..  Noah just did it and God made it happen..

What is a palette expander and what does it do?, What food are you not supposed to eat?, What does an interproximal brush do?, How are braces put on your teeth?, How do you floss with braces? and Do braces hurt?

Dont Worry everything will be fine, I have braces now and I had them before too, when I was 9. I also had a pallette expander before i had braces. What mine did it could come out and everything, but it stuck to the top of you mouth and what it does and expands the roof of your mouth so you can bite correctly. I had to take mine out when I ate.  Foods with braces that your not supposed to have are: Popcorn (Hull-less is okay), Nuts and peanut brittle, ice, Hard candy & Candied apples (What i did with hard candy i just sucked on it forever), all hard chips and cookies, Raw fruits and vegetables (hard), Gum (even sugarless)(I still chew gum, don't tell anybody!!!), Fruit roll-ups amd gummy bears, Taffy and caramels (still eat those too shhh!!), Starbursts, mike & ikes, and dots, Bit-O-Honeys, Skittles and airheads, milk duds amd sugar daddies. You don't have to follow this completely, I know i don't, but be VERY careful!!! \nTreats you can have:\nPotato Chips and corn puffs, M & M's & Reese's Pieces, KitKats & Junior mints, Nestle Crunch & Peppermint Patties, Mounds & Reese's peanut butter cups, Hershey Kisses, 3 musketeers, Ice cream, sherbert, and frozen yogurt.\nOrthodontic 'No-no's':\nLip Biting, Pushing your tongue against your appliance or braces, chewing on fingers, pencils, or pens, tearing thing with your teeth, and biting your fingernails.\nHow Braces Are Put ON:\nFirst of all they clean your teeth then the put cement on the bracets and put the bracets on each tooth. Then, the put the wire through and you've got braces.\nFlossing with braces:\nThe orthodontist will give you a threader to do this:\nYou have to take the floss thread it through the wire and between the brackets and then floss...it takes forever! but don't worry the doc will show you how.\nDo Braces Hurt:\nYes, they do. But it only lasts for the first couple of days so don't worry. I have them now (I'm 14) and I already had the before when i was 9. after the first couple of days you get used to them and you cant even feel them anymore. But the downfall, when you go to your checkup, and they tighten them....you'll go through the same thing..they will hurt again for the first couple of days..so don't worry I know alot of young kids that go through this.\nGood Luck! I hope I could help You!


i had been living with my fiance for three months, when my mom misunderstood soemthing i told her and said that he was emotionaly abusing me(which he wasn't) and controling my life, so she called me and told me to pack my things becasue iw as no longer living there. i want to know if she willing let me move if she can legal take me away from him.

Trust your mother on this one - she's only got your best interests at heart.  If you love this guy then the fact that your back home with Mum won't get in the way of your relationship.\n\nFrom a legal point of view your Mum's in the right.


If the Old Testament is a reference to understand the context in which JC came to teach... \n\nWhy would someone call him or herself Christian and define God (judgmental and often intolerant) from the Old Testament and base a strong part of the Dogma based on Old Testament fondation ? Is it not manipulating JC message to fit him into that world that he came toss ?

I will make this simple for you; the people that followed the Old Testament god killed Jesus. If Jesus came back to earth today; the people following the Old Testament, will kill him again. The Old Testament god is not the real god and is a contradictory of everything Jesus taught. Someone following this god is not a Christian.


I find papered over windows in new or renovating shops to be ugly (although more and more they are used for lease signs or to announce the realtor/developer). Someone told me they paper over the windows to hide the fact that they leave tools on site. Is this true or is there some other reason? And why just brown paper?

Because if anything gets thrown it will be less likely to scratch the windows. Its to protect them. You don't want to finish the job just to see all the windows have been scratched or have paint on them.


I really want to know if it was after 3 days.

I felt more intune with my spiritual side and more at peace.


also does it work better than microsoft internet exploer and what kind of security features does it have

Yes.  The main security feature of Firefox is the fact that it lacks ActiveX controls which is why IE has so many security holes... also IE is still far more common than Firefox so IE is attacked more then Firefox.  That doesn't mean there aren't exploits for Firefox but most of them are harmless and will just cause Firefox to crash and all you have to do is clear the cache and restart Firefox, no harm done.  The reason IE is so terrible is because the ActiveX controls are tied into the operating system so it is possible should an exploit be present, for someone to hijack your system.  I know of no such exploit for Firefox, though, I could be wrong.\n\nJust use Firefox, it's better, http://www.mozilla.com/


i am on probation and have not drugged or drank in 8 months so I dont understand how i could possibly test positive. Now I face prison for something I did not do. I swear!

are you diabetic?  that can cause a false positive on an alcohol urine test.\nhttp://sdrl.com/tech_briefs/DIABETICPATIENTS.html\n\nask for a re-test, sometimes laboratories make mistakes, contaminate the sample or get samples mixed up.\n\nalso every test has a finite probability of giving the wrong answer (usually they say - detects such-and-such 98% of the time.. that means you might randomly be in the 2%).\n\ngood luck and good job staying sober!\n\nEDIT:\n\np.s. red wine vinaigrette is made with vinegar that was made from red wine.  that means the grape sugar was fermented to make alcohol and then the alcohol was further broken down into acetic acid.  there should be very little alcohol remaining in vinegar, and if there was any there would be very diluted because a) it was a pretty low concentration to begin with and b) there's a lot of other stuff in vinaigrette.\n\nso it's probably not that.


What is the mass of 3.35 L of methane gas at STP?\nShow your work.

First of all, it's spelled stoichiometry.\nSTP=22.4L per mole\nmethane = CH4\nmolar mass of methane = 4*1.0079(mass of 4H) + 12.011(mass of C)=16.0426gCH4\n\nSo it would be like this\n3.35L / 22.4L * 16.042g = 2.39923g methane\n\nWith significant figures, it would be 2.40g methane

This question regards a homework assignment that I cannot find information about.

Are these profits of the poor or healer's of GOD

I'm not totally sure that these people's actions are fully from God. Not to be like anti-God or anything please don't assume, but Satan also has powers that influence people and can eventually take over their lives. Being a Christian, I don't believe that these men are really doing what you think they are, but I'm not speaking for the whole Christian body, just for me. On the counter, there's nowhere in the Bible that says, "miracle healers are fake," but I can't believe that this is true. There is a passage in the Bible that talks about weak Christians (people who believe that they have to wear a certain thing, look a certain way, do certain things, etc. not saying that they aren't Christians, they are) and strong Christians, (who believe that we can come to Jesus as we are and that He is the sacrifice for our sins.) I think that these miracle healers are the weaker Christians and the strong Christians must help them see that they don't have to do that. They think that they have to heal and touch people to make them well, when really the miracle is from God. I hope that you can make sense of all this. This is a very difficult passage of Scripture to understand.


almost everywhere I go I always hear about Einstein's General and Special Theory of Relativity and his very famous equation e=mc^2. it bothers me u know, cos honestly I don't know what relativity means. can u please tell me what it means, in a simple way, please? cos i am just an 11 yr old boy.

The special theory of relativity deals with how nature behaves when things move at very large speeds. In fact at any speeds, but things only get a lot different from what we are used to, when speeds are close to the speed of light. The theory is essentially founded on the observation that the speed of light is constant to an observer regardless of how fast the observer is moving. Which is very different from the behaviour of objects with mass such as cars an the like.\n\nThe general theory of relativity extends on the special theory of relativity and is actually a refinement of earlier theories of gravity.\n\nI would suggest that if you want to understand relativity, that you first investigate "classical physics" or "Newtonian physics".\n\nDon't worry that you are only 11, if you want to understand these things then investigate them. If you get bored with them then you can stop investigating them. And make sure you have plenty of fun too.\n\nOh, and the famous equation actually an expression of the fact that mass can be converted in to energy, and energy can be converted into mass.\n\nAfter reading a couple of the answers below I feel that they could be a little misleading, so I would like to point out that the concept, or "theory" if you please, of "relative motion" was well established, before Einstein proposed his theories named "special relativity" and "general relativity".

just would like to know? about how they get paid ?

Depends on the church.\n\nIn most cases there is a Board of Deacon's or a Vestry Committee that is made up of church members. They work with a budget based on past collections or members pledges. From that they pay the pastor a salary.\n\nThis may not apply to Catholic churches.


Sometimes my legs get weak one day, then the next day they will be so sore like I ran a marathon. Does anyone else get this? Sometimes I get it right before my period, but sometimes I get it at odd times...

My sister in law gets a numbness at the tops of her legs where they connect to her hips. Her doctor told her that is where she is having her cramps. He says some people get abdominal cramps and other get generalized muscle cramps. I hope this helps. I would discuss it with your doctor the next time you go, just to be on the safe side.


what is VIRGIN COCONUT OIL I dont know what is it please tell me what do you do with it, and how does it help?

Any applications in the macroscopic world?

String Theory is only a theory of description of elementary particles based on one-dimensional curves, or "strings," instead of point particles, given by from some theoretical Physicist.\nThe energy-scale at which the stringlike properties would become evident is so high that it is currently unclear how any of the forms of the theory could be tested.\nSo it has not been tested yet and I think it will remain a theory not reality in near future.


I do have asthma but it's not severe or anything.But I really want to start running on the treadmill. I don't wanna start off too hard b/c I will discourage myself, but I want a good workout so that I will see results as quickly as possible. Any people with fitness training knowledege your advice is deeply appreciated or just any peeps out there. Thanks ahead of time! Any advice?

www.runnersworld.com has some great beginning running programs on their site ("training" link).  Like others have said, good shoes are a must or you'll just injure yourself.  Expect to pay a bunch for the first pair you get and buy them at a shoe store where you can test them out on a treadmill in the store.  Have the salespeople help you with different brands and types of cushioning until you find what works for you. After the first pair, you can find your next pair on sale or online after you know what you want.\n\nJust listen to your body and work gradually.  Avoid injury by training smartly.


NO details... just a simple question "for anybody who has someone that cares for them"... DO YOU KNOW?... and hou do you repay them? (ok this is another qouestion)... U get the point...

If you care abought someone they mean everything to you. You wouldn't want to be without them, and you don't like being away from them.

I would love some advice...I have trouble sleeping, this unfortunately runs in the family...i am in my late 20's so i can't take melatonin... any ideas for me?

Already a lot of good and not so good answers... Don't use alcohol, I did that for years. I don't drink now and sleep better. Stress, is the main thing that keeps me awake now, but only occasionally. Don't smoke either. Feeling secure makes you feel secure in your bed. Do everything to make sure your home is secure obviously. Financial security is important - people do lie awake worrying about money. Emotional security, knowing people care and love you. That's more difficult. But generally speaking you get back what you give out in that department. Obviously avoid stimulants like caffeine in the evenings. When you go to bed tonight. Think about me! A mysterious romantic Englishman - and let your imagination run wild! Even if you don't sleep - it'll make staying awake much more enjoyable. But after a while - maybe 8 hours - you'll get bored with me and nod off! Incidentally, it's 3.05pm in the afternoon now in England. Not the early hours of the morning! I haven't had lunch!


A proposal for a constitutional amendment is in congressional commitee right now.  This amendment intorduced by Jesse Jackson and friends would if passed and ratified restrict congress and the states from making any laws restricting any form of contraceptive.  This would be easily skewed to include all forms of abortion. \n\nBecause amendments usually have seven years to get passed and ratified, we have no way of knowing who might come into office and get this passed and ratified.\n\nIf you think this is wrong, please write to your representatives and let them know that you do not want this bill to ever leave committee!

If you don't agree with contraception don't use it.  If you don't agree with abortion don't have one.  What I don't understand is why you want the government to impose your beliefs on other people.


Okay- this isnt a mythical animal, its more a folk legend i think from europe. I dont know much but i need its name for a school project! It is a [shape shifting] trickster who appears in the shape of a horse with yellow eyes? or a goat with yellow eyes? Myth is that if you go near it it will take you on a ride that lasts through a century of our time? Help!

It is an Irish pooka.\n\nVariants: phouka, puca\nNo fairy is more feared in Ireland than the pooka. This may be because it is always out and about after nightfall, creating harm and mischief, and because it can assume a variety of terrifying forms.\n\nThe guise in which it most often appears, however, is that of a sleek, dark horse with sulphurous yellow eyes and a long wild mane. In this form, it roams large areas of countryside at night, tearing down fences and gates, scattering livestock in terror, trampling crops and generally doing damage around remote farms.\n\nIn remote areas of County Down, the pooka becomes a small, deformed goblin who demands a share of the crop at the end of the harvest: for this reason several strands, known as the 'pooka's share', are left behind by the reapers. In parts of County Laois, the pooka becomes a huge, hairy bogeyman who terrifies those abroad at night; in Waterford and Wexford, it appears as an eagle with a massive wingspan; and in Roscommon, as a black goat with curling horns.\n\nThe mere sight of it may prevent hens laying their eggs or cows giving milk, and it is the curse of all late night travellers as it is known to swoop them up on to its back and then throw them into muddy ditches or bogholes. The pooka has the power of human speech, and it has been known to stop in front of certain houses and call out the names of those it wants to take upon its midnight dashes. If that person refuses, the pooka will vandalise their property because it is a very vindictive fairy.\n\nThe origins of the pooka are to some extent speculative. The name may come from the Scandinavian pook or puke, meaning 'nature spirit'. Such beings were very capricious and had to be continually placated or they would create havoc in the countryside, destroying crops and causing illness among livestock. Alternatively, the horse cults prevalent throughout the early Celtic world may have provided the underlying motif for the nightmare steed.


I was thinking odd jobs, but I would feel weird going aroud and asking people to do that.

Have a look in your local newspapers in the job section.  This sometimes works, if not have a look in the shop windows if they are looking for part-time staff.\n\nIt doesn't hurt to ask.  They can only say "No, we're not looking at the moment".

simple as that what are u looking for in a relationship?

It depends on the person, what sex type do you want to respond to. If there is something about someone's outward appearance, then try to a casual chat. Then you can take it from there, cause you can find out what the personality is, the mentality and all of it. Just don't rush into things, take things a little slow. It's mainly your choice, your opinion, just don't set too high of standards, cause it never adds all up.


okay me and my dog yes dog are like tight well I don't  know I can't do I can't think of anything to do with him that will get us tight .  pealse give me an  idea that tells me what to do with him

Please clarify your question for us, please?


it seems he just wants to make out with me and other things i dont want to mention! and hes goes to my church and when im there he just pokes my boobs and my butt in church!!!\nplus i like the preachers son more but i just think the preachers son just wants to be my friend!!!\noh, this is my life!!!

Tell this guy that he needs to grow up before you will go out with him.  Ask him if his father pokes his mother's boobs at church.  He obvioulsy likes you, but is going about it in all the wrong ways.  You are probably better off going after the preacher's son.

Here is the story again\nI ordered laminate flooring at home depot including installation.I had wall to wall carpet and so i had to pull it out and move all my furniture,unplug my tv,pc and all the night before as they were coming in the next morning.But when they came in that morning and unwrapped the materials the we had special ordered thru HOMEDEPOT a week before they discovered that it did not include any moulding.And so for that the guys said we have to wait another whole week as it has to be special ordered.In the meanwhile we'll be without any carpet on the cold concrete floor, without furniture and any tv/pc/entertainment.My question is How to exactly deal with this the proper way because i don't to want to speak with some store manager and have to wait for a resolution.Should i contact thier corporate office and if i do which would be better a verbal or Written?Any specfics i should mention/any special wordings i should use?PLEASE HELP ME!I am so pissed with them!Thanks alot!

They inconvenienced you.Find out DISTRICT managers name and call him,record conversation,let him know whats going on and how you can be compensated for the inconvenience.If you still get no satisfaction take them to civil court.OR cancel everything-did you give them any money yet?What a bunch of losers.Sue them for any money already paid if they won't give it to you.


Why is it that so many people who obviously have no grasp of the subject answer a question knowing full well they dont know what on earth they are talking about?\n\nWhat is it with this 2 points for typing some inane drivel when trying to help someone out?

You mean the ones that post things like "Thanks for the 2 points" and so forth. I understand your frustration. It almost makes me wish there was a penalty for posting an answer. Or maybe, you don't get anything for an answer unless it is chosen as a best answer.\n\nI don't know. The way I see it, Yahoo! has to make the final decision.


whats the difference between a regular headache and a tension headache. I mean, is tension headache just a term for a person who is naturally irritable?

A tension headache is a condition involving pain or discomfort in the head, scalp, or neck, usually associated with muscle tightness in these areas. Tension headaches result from the contraction of neck and scalp muscles. One cause of this muscle contraction is a response to stress, depression or anxiety. Any activity that causes the head to be held in one position for a long time without moving can cause a headache. Such activities include typing or use of computers, fine work with the hands, and use of a microscope. Sleeping in a cold room or sleeping with the neck in an abnormal position may also trigger this type of headache. Other causes include eye strain, fatigue, alcohol use, excessive smoking, excessive caffeine use, sinus infection, nasal congestion, overexertion, colds, and influenza. Tension headaches are not associated with structural lesions in the brain.

Why would some one waste there time posting on a place where you ask questions about products and information. Waste peoples time with anwsers that dont do any good for any one. Make some one think that it is a post that will do some thing for them. Anwser a question that needs to be anwsered and then act like some one should be greatfull. What kinda twat would be so stupid to think that anyone would want anything from an idiot.

This is a good question. The way to solve this is just put "Serious Answers Only" If this doesn't help, I guess we'll just have to deal with it. I have problems with this too. Many people are like "are you so dumb as to ask this question?" Well, I guess I am, because I just did, just give me a good answer and move on with your life. It's not like answering a question you deem to be stupid will kill you. I mean it's not like everyone know everything! \nI totally agree with you. Every question deserves a good answer and I would really apreciate if people wouldn't look down at me and just tell me what they know!


Large fish swim (swiftly) in the sea.\nA.Verb.          C.Adjective.\nb.Noun.          D.Adverb.

Evaluate the following statement.The term transcription is appropriate for describing the production of RNA, and the term translation is appropriate for describing the synthesis of proteins

Yes.  DNA is transcribed into RNA, and RNA is translated into proteins.  \n\nI always kept that straight by thinking of transcription as like taking notes when someone is talking (same language) and translation as translating those notes into another language.  Going from DNA to RNA you're going to use the same building blocks (bases - purines and pyrimidines)or the same "language", but going from RNA to proteins requires going from one building block to another (bases to amino acids), or a different language.

I'm looking to spend below $300.  Any suggestions or should I stay with what I have.  It works very well.

A Radeon X700 is still a fairly current card;  the next generation of ATI cards (x1600) for that level don't offer any major performance benefits.  I'd suggest waiting at least another 6 months before looking for a card, so prices on GeForce 6800s and 7800s can come down in price.


why do people lie it make problem but some times it fix them

I'll try to be detailed but make it simple at the same time.  I'll tell you this as if you are about to have to go through Alzheimer's with a member of your family. I can tell you what it's like up-close and personal. My grandmother suffered with it for over 10 years before passing away a few years ago.  I was around her a lot so I'll tell you what I tell people:\n1.  It's a disease in which the victim loses more and more of their memory over time - most of the time it severely affects ones short-term memory.  \n2.  Because of this short-term memory loss one of the first noticeable effects is the continual repeating of the same questions.  It can get to where the same question is asked every 30 seconds - simple questions like "Where are we going?" And the repetition every 30 seconds is no exaggeration.\n3.  The next thing to go is personal hygiene.  People forget to shower, use the bathroom, and do normal things we learn as kids.  They begin to have to be taken care of constantly. \nSimply put - a victim reverts backwards in age and by the time he/she reach the severe stages of the disease they HAVE to be watched like a baby.  It's the most hopeless thing to have to experience...


i have a picture that i want to make into a background, but i dont know how. can someone help me!?

my process:\n\nfind an image on google that you like, i dont know what you are looking for. and then right click it and save the picture. then go to photobucket.com and upload the image there then go to http://www.mygen.co.uk/ and when it asks for a picture url, go to photobucket and copy the URL box right under the picture. and create a layout. my suggestion is that you find an image that would look good tiled OR find an image that would look good centered/ full screened. customized all you want!


I feel  after reading and analysing historical facts that Muslims are devout and they belong to finest religion on earth.But most of the Muslims are fundamentalist,they don't want to live in peace whereas they should live in peace as they are guided by Holy Koran,the best guide for human beings on this earth.

You gatta be kidding me; Israel had committed many massacres against the Palestinian people, France killed more then a million in Algeria, Britain killed so many people in India, Spain in the new world (Latin America now) America, in South east Asia, Japan, central America, Iraq, not to mention the slavery, and the native American mass homicides.. I can go for ever, that shows how much stupid you are, historical facts my a**


I do! I know the words to quite a few movies. I know all the words to "Austin Powers 2", "The Silence of the Lambs", most of "Flightplan", "Big Daddy", "Billy Madison", "Happy Gilmore", "Blast From the Past". That's all I can think of!!

Ok...I'm going to add myself to the so-called "sad" group by listing the movies I can quote almost or all the way through. Do I make it my mission to learn this stuff? Nope...it just happens!! Anyway, here they are:\n\n-Star Wars (all of them)\n-Star Trek 2 and 4\n-Monty Python and the Holy Grail\n-Monty Python's Life of Brian\n-Caddyshack\n-Aliens\n-Terminator 2\n-Ghostbusters\n-Strange Brew\n-This is Spinal Tap\n-Die Hard\n-The Abyss\n-Big Trouble in Little China\n-An American Werewolf in London\n-Dazed and Confused\n-Animal House\n-The Blues Brothers\n\nI could name more, but I don't want to make myself seem more pathetic!!\n\nFor those of you who deem this strange ability as "moronic", "geeky", or whatever.....it's no different than someone who can spout out every professional athlete's vital statistics and accomplishments. Just had to say that.


How do you get that bad bad feeling of her moving on and Already dating so fast to go away, especially with all those words of "hopefully there will be something after we have time apart" that she said. time apart and all that to me just sounds like wanting to hook up and it looks like i was right. any advice?! woman too, i want to know from your side.

Laugh at them. I mean, she couldn't handle being single and fell into a rebound relationship that is doomed for failure. It's painful, I know, but don't worry. You're over her, what she does shouldn't bother you. Let her find another guy, let her screw up that relationship, and push her from your mind. You'll find someone else soon enough.


Please read the links first, thanks...\nhttp://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/living/religion/14179181.htm\nhttp://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/opinion/14187133.htm\n\nFirstly, wouldn't that trample the rights of all others?  Secondly, wouldn't that be unconstitutional?

It's a terrible idea.  The founding fathers had not intentions of there being a nationally endorsed religion.  It would seriously trample the rights of others.  Look at what happened in Iraq, they have a national religion of Islam and a guy was going to be killed for converting to Christianity.  It also is a violation of the first amendment.\n\nQuotes from sources below:\n\n"When the government puts its imprimatur on a particular religion it conveys a message of exclusion to all those who do not adhere to the favored beliefs. A government cannot be premised on the belief that all persons are created equal when it asserts that God prefers some." Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun in the Lee v. Weisman ruling, 1992.\n\n"Thomas Jefferson, as president, wrote a letter to the  Danbury Baptist Association of Connecticut  on 1802-JAN-1. It contains the first known reference to the "wall of separation". The essay states in part:\n\n    "...I contemplate with solemn reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State..."\n\nDuring the 1810's, President James Madison wrote an essay titled "Monopolies" which also refers to the importance of church-state separation. He stated in part:\n\n    "Strongly guarded as is the separation between religion and Government in the Constitution of the United States, the danger of encroachment by Ecclesiastical Bodies may be illustrated by precedents already furnished in their short history."\n\nThe US Supreme Court has interpreted the First Amendment as if it requires this "wall of separation" between church and state. It not only prohibits any government from adopting a particular denomination or religion as official, but requires government to avoid excessive involvement in religion."


im over weight or at least i feel i am. whats a full proof way to lose weight when i so busy all the time with school and such. i mean every morning i get up don't eat b-fast (don't have time) eat lunch sometimes and when i get home i eat at least two bowls of kix and continue to eat little things until im ready to go to sleep. then my day starts over. i can't go on like this i need some help. are there special snacks or pills i can take to give me a head start.

Eat breakfast.  Not right away, but wake up early, exercise for a bit, then eat an hour after you have woken up.  That way, you give your metabolism a jump start.  Go to work.  HAve a midmorning snack.   Then have lunch.  Then have a afternoon snack.  Then have dinner.  Then have a small but healthy desert.  Make sure your snacks are something healthy and not full of fat(peanutbutter and crackers, cheese, fruit, yogurt, lowfat cottage cheese, veggies...those are some of my favorites).  The idea is to eat more frequently, but healthier and less at each meal.  Don't pic out.  You shouldn't eat because you are bored and you shouldn't eat until you are full.  You should only eat until you are satisfied.  Drink lots of water.  Most people eat because they think they are hungry, but they really have such a weak thirst reflex that their body doesn't know how to interpret thirst so they eat.  If you follow this plan and you are still hungy, try drinking a big glass of water.  You should lose weight.  Good luck!


One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.

Our taxon shows it: Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia, Primate, Homodiade, Homind, Homo, H. Sapiens.

Homo sapiens are animals because:\n1) We are multicellular and comprised of eukaryotic cells.  \nThis differentiates us from monerans and many protists.\n2) We are heterotrophs, which differentiates us from plants.\n3) Our cells lack cell walls, unlike the cells of fungi and plants.\nYou can read about other distingushing characteristics here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal


Feb. my check on 3rd was late, along w/ all of USA. I paid my rent and told them I couldn't pay late fee until the next month. They took my rent and then on the 18th of the month, they gave me a 30 day notice to move. I asked the manager if I paid the 75.00 late feee today could I stay and not move?, Her reply was " NO the owners just seem to want you out . But I have not had any kind of problems w/ them, at all. Now we have a new manager and all of a sudden I have to move,Why? and can I fight that ? I feel so discriminated against.

Personally, I hate hard boogies - if you squash your nose - they make your eye run.\nIf you have to have one or the other - which would you prefer? Crusties or a snotty honker?\nMind you - hate it when  people sniff and swallow...

ICK.. I hate that when they pull it back in their throat.. blaaaaahh .  I think I prefer the crusties.. a snotty honker as you call it always ends up going into my sinuses and giving me a hard time making me sick and all. I would rather deal with the runny eyes every now and then than not being able to breath for a week straight.


A friend and I are trying to remember what movie features robbers synchronizing their heist to a tune.   One character asks whether to play the extended mix or radio version. I'm at a loss what this is from.

Is there a difference between distance learning and traditional learning for getting a job in US, UK .

Based on your grammar, your "distance learning" hasn't been working.  That's going to be a bit more a problem than where the diploma came from.  The difference will depend on the specific job you are applying for.  Some employers only care that you have a college diploma, in which case it won't make much difference where it's from.  Many, however, care about the quality of the education behind the diploma.  In that case, the distance learning aspect will probably be less of a factor than the overall quality of the academic institution.


And letting him go to the enemy Colts? What does Billichek have in mind not keeping McGinnest as well? At least there is still Seymour, Branch, Brady and Harrison; can someone please tell me what the Patriots plan is?

People had ths same arguement a few years ago about Drew Bledsoe and look at what they accomplished.  They Patriots leadership likes to play things close to the vest and not let out what they are planning.  With the Super Bowls they have won you have to trust what they are doing.


the palestinians just want less than 20 percent of the total land, why is that so hard for the isrealies to give up. lets split jerusalem equally let isreal get outta the west bank and gaza completely, totally demolish settlements. and leave..wat do you guys think?

Don't get me started on this subject. I believe and some historians agree that the only true originals of that area of the world is the Palestinians every Jew is not genetically connect to the original people only religously.\nNotice most of the Jews that came back to "take back their land" came there from European countries. I have no problems with Jews at all but the facts are most Jews of wealth and knowledge were taken away by the Romans in the \ndays of Roman rule  inter-bred wth  the local people and convert some to Judaism.This is over 2000 years!\n The ones that stayed were invaded by others and eventually became Islamic and called themselves Palestinian.\nThe only reason the major countries of the world support Israel is because the Jews control the banking industry of the world.They got the money! I told you not to get me started.


A deck of cards has 4 yellow, 6 violet, and 5 white cards. you pick 4 cards from the deck. cards are not returned to the deck after they are picked. What is the probability that the firdt card id white, the second card is violet, the third card is violet, and the fourth card is yellow

(5/15)*(6/14)*(5/13)*(4/12) = 600/32760 = 5/273. This is correct because the order you picked cards matters.


A short shifters descripition is dat it reduces the throw by 40-50%. what is the throw??? Does this make the car faster generally speaking!!!

throw = the distance the gear lever moves inbetween gears, the short shifter reduces the gear change times slightly by reducing the distance you need to move the gear lever.\n\nWill improve acceleration, but all depends on how quickly the driver can press and release the clutch as well as changing gear


my bf seems to think he should be the loudest player in our rock band, but i said he should be underneath everyone else

All instruments in a band should be roughly the same level of loudness. If your bf is playing loud, you need to crank it up a bit. Drums are a loud instrument, that just the way it is.


ok my gf and i have been dating for almost a month now but we have dated in the past on n off and decide to finally give a real relationship going but the thing is she has trouble opening up im her first real bf since her last one was kinda touchy like always all over her n she didnt know much how to be a gf so it was annoying her but im not like that i give her her space but when leaving or saying goodbye i always have to lead the kiss and i tend to go slow n steady but she just get nervous or laughts a lil (giggle) cuz she feels lil awkward is there anyway i can help her overcome this and to help her to get close like i try everything to get close to her and we text saying we want to but its just kinda hard for her (ladies who answer help me out or give some pointers thanks)

If you are really doing what you say you are, then you are on the right track.  Don't try and teach her how to be a girlfriend, let her learn it herself, besides chances are, your ideas of what a girlfriend should be are gonna be completely different from what her next boyfriend will think.

When I brush the back of my tongue with my tongue brush most of the time my gag reflex will take over and I had to stop or I will throw up. What are some of the "tips" or "tricks" on how to effectively reach the back of your tongue when you tongue brush?

Breathe through your nose...that takes care of the physical part.  Also, close your eyes so you can't see yourself doing it...that takes care of the mental part.  I have a bad gag reflex too, I feel your pain.

does it have side effects? do u feel it?

I got an IUD 3 years ago after my second child since we weren't sure if we wanted to expand our family further.  I chose the Mirena over the copper after reading the side effects, etc and because I like that it was a 5 year IUD and that would be about the time for me to have more kids.  I LOVE it.  I've tried the pill and Depo Provera as well, but love this.  I don't forget to take anything and can be spontaneous.  My best friend and sister in law got them too after hearing about it from me.  I haven't noticed any real side effects (except no period...bummer-not!) and cannot feel it at all, although the doctor did recommend occasionally checking to make sure I can still feel the strings.


less dust allergies, bacteria, mold, mildew and your health is effected by a dirty environment


Also what are the possible impacts on weather due to a El Nino cycle?

well, it all depends. If you live in like, california it can be anything from really weird weather like hot one week and a blizzard the next, and if you live in like south america, in peru, the waters get really warm. that's just a few of them.


I would like to attach directly to the DVR and access the drive on the unit.

That will depend on the manufacturer of the device that is storing the video. Most DirecTV DVRs are actually TiVos, and while there are some ways to extract the video from a TiVo, they are usually complex and require modifications to the unit itself. Other boxes such as a Dish DVR can be from Scientific Atlanta, and those boxes usually do not have video that can be extracted. The easiest way for you to do what you're trying to do will be either to get a DVR that supports direct DVD burning, such as one of the Pioneer models, or to get a DVD burner and use the output video from the DVR to the input of the DVD burner.\n\nExtraction of video from TiVo is a grey area in legality, most forums do not discuss it because of fear of being sued by the company. A good place to start is AVS forums, though there is no discussion of video extraction allowed there.\nhttp://www.tivocommunity.com/ is helpful if you are running a TiVo, if not, there are other forums for other manufacturers here. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=8\n\nHope this answers your question.


Have reads many explanations but still can't really understand it.

Special Relativity?\n1) Laws of physics do not depend on reference frame\n2) Speed of light is independent of reference frame\n\nGeneral Relativity?\nAs above, but also that uniform acceleration in free space cannot be distinguished from uniform free fall due to gravity.\n\nTo get anything else other than these basic precepts you need a lot of maths. (Especially to a high level! 4-vectors :-)


I'm looking for a specific song.  Radio Free Hawaii heavily played the song right before they went off air, and I haven't heard it since.  It had a dance beat, and its background was mostly muted trumpet.

if they show real leadership, maybe, but they are back biting each other too much


Read this statement: "I don't believe you are from iraq. I think I know who you are."  ...I got several times something like this message!! what's that? why people think I'm not Iraqi!!! why?? I really wanna know why? while all those who tell me I'm not Iraqi they are not Iraqis!!! how people can judge in this way!!  can I say that you're not American or not jordanian.

You would know better than some jerk on the Internet where you are from.\n\nWhy anyone would dispute this with you I cannot say.\n\nWe all encounter so many people on the net who are either stupid, ignorant, or simply trying to stir the sh*t.\n\nIgnore them.\n\nThey are simply trying to engage you in pointless debate. Do not give them the satisfaction of any response.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nP.S. Maybe they are so ingnorant themselves that they cannot comprehend the idea of someone travelling from one country to another, getting a good education, and using language, grammar and spelling that are better than their own.\n\nIn this case, if I were you, I'd take it as a compliment, and move on.


I hear that in the band S.H.E., Ella had an injury and something happened. I'm think she left, but I want to make sure.

According to the S.H.E. Angelic Fansite (www.she-angelic.com), the band is on a 1-month hiatus, resting up prior to a new tour. No mention of an accident involving Ella Chen. Ella's the oldest member of the Japanese c-pop band "S.H.E." - she'll be (gasp!) 25 this year!


He has arthritic knees and a vertigo problem.  He has no \nteeth, therefore, is unable to eat crunchy food.  I need \nideas, please.  and thanks so much!

He may need a little to do some of this. Like someone to help him move from his chair to a bench and that sort of thing. For chest, try flat bench press and then incline bench press. For back try doing seated bent over dumbbell rows. This is where you bend from a seated postion and do a rowing motion. Then cable pulldowns. For shoulder, do shoulder press, lateral raises and shrugs, all with dumbbells in a seated position. He can try weighted situps for abs if able. For arms try, curls and tricep extensions, which can be done seated.\n\nFor cardio have him push himself around in his chair or other device.

I had a question about hair loss at young ages. I started losing my hair close to age 14. Despite physicians telling me there is nothing wrong but a genetic or stress related problem, I would actually like to know if there are any other possible causes of this aside from stress, and caffeine. And no I don't want links to places that will re-grow hair, they either don't work, or they cost thousands of dollars. I already realize that has a very small chance of growing back as I still continue to lose hair at age 22.

My first husband starting losing his hair at a very young age too and then it got drastically worse after he joined the military.  He went through a million doctors telling him the same things that I'm sure you're hearing but he finally found a doctor that told him that because he was a active in sports during his High School years and usually wore a baseball hat that he believed this added to it.  Then when he joined the military (and he always wore a hat)...he lost even more.  The doctor said that it wasn't healthy for your hair to always be covered by a hat and that sometimes the rubbing from the hat could also be a factor.  Do you wear hats alot?  That just might be the cause.  Good luck.


alright now ive had some experience with girls but this has been buggin me. im into this girl and she noes but the thing is i no shes into some other guy. yet she is telling all her friends that i like her what does this mean

THERE IS A LOT OF OIL AND GAS RESERVE IN THE NIGER DELTA REGION OF NIGERIA. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE BENUE TROUGH LOCATED IN THE MIDDLEBELD TO THE NORTH OF THE NIGER DELTA MIGHT HAVE OIL AND GAS RESERVES. CAN SOMEONE DISCUSS THIS TOPIC?

There is indeed enormous amounts of oil and natrual gas in this region.  China is looking to move into to partner with Nigeria to extract some of it.  However, China like the multinational corporations that already work in the area is find the extraction very difficult.  \n  The local people are suffering all the effects (environmental degradation and health problems) without any of the rewards like people in other oil regions have.  The results are uprisings that have all but stopped the oil extraction down the delta to the sea.  \n\n   Also, gas lines continue to be attacked, and Nigeria may suffer complete blackouts as these gas lines are used to provide energy to the hydro generating stations in the country.  It would seem to get the locals onside, it might be a good idea to share the wealth and not poison their environment.  It's a novel concept but might just work!\n\n   By the way, as  Peaknik, I don't believe that Nigeria has the necessary reserves to turn the tide of Hubbert's Peak.


And by aim for, I mean which part of the body is more sensitive to blows and attacks of such matter.

just to injure,on guys its the balls,ive heard lower stomach on girls but you should ask one to make sure.if fighting for your life and want to cause permant damage the eyes and throat is you best bet.

how can a 17 year old girl that is going to be 18 in a few months get new friends.

go out to the public, to parks, cafes, just sit downtown where people hang out. if you can, go to a party, do that. if noone starts talking to you, than you will have to start talking to someone first.\nit just takes a little bit courage but it is not so hard to find friends.


Is there a method other than using a compression program, such as PKZIP, to have a CD store more data than what the label says it will?

Yes u are right. The only way to achieve that would be to use compression. However the amount by which data can be compressed is limited by the type of data and its characteristics. For example...\n\n1. A very large text document containing a novel can be compressed to around 20~30% of its original size. This compression however has to be lossless, i.e. the file recovered after decompression should have the same size, since u dont want ur text to have unwanted errors in it.\n\n2. Audio, specifically that within the human audible limits. Depending on the algorithm (eg. MPEG layer-3 or mp3, ogg-vorbis, WMA) used audio can be compressed to almost 10% of its original size (1CD 700mb to ~60MB). But these are lossy compression techniques, as in some audio data is lost but the differences is not perceptable to humans.\n\n3. Application - Typically installation files for programs. Pure binaries(eg. EXE files) can generally be compressed to about ~40% of their size and this compression needs to be lossless otherwise ur executable could get damaged. Most compression algorithms use various kinds of techniques to detect any errors introduced into the file using techniques like CRC.\n\n4. AV - audio+video, This is probably the case ur talking about in ur question. By use of appropriate software it is possible to compress an entire DVD movie (4.7GB) to a file of 700MB size which can fit on a single CD. This again uses lossy algorithms (DivX, xvid, WMV, MPEG4 etc.) using motion estimation (seeing which parts of a movie frame change) etc. techniques. (search google for auto-Gordian-Knot if you are interested in doing this)\n\nSo if u have seen someone compress 4.7GB onto a CD he was prolly doing it with a movie file. Movies downloaded from the internet are generally available in 700MB sized file so that they can conveniently fit on a CD.\n\nHope that helped.


Depends on what it is for. Maybe a candle or something of that sense?


I am with my boyfriend for 18months, he comes from another country but has been living here, for the last 2 years for work, money and better life.He had a teenage relationship for 4 years before moving here. He finds time to c me everynight eventhogh his time is limited, never talks bad to me, loves my daughter a lot and generally has good relations with my family.He even took me for a holiday in christmas to meet his parents and stayed over with them. The problem is like this, he has communication with his x, i find messages and calls on his mobile, he sits and talk on the yahoo for hours with her. Last week he sent her a message saying that he is on the webcamera and they can talk on the net so she gets to the net. Last year we had arguements on these, and he was insisting she is just a friend. Now I try to fight it and convincemyself that i should ignore it. Guides what do I do, in the last 3 weeks he got net at his flat and he spends more hours there now than with me.?Help

Well it sounds like he is still in love with her. I mean if I am seeing you and then tlaking with my ex on a regular basis then something is up. Look I have been in this situtaion before. No matter how much he denys it, the fact is that he can't let go. Let him know that he has a choice between you and that other girl. If he really cares for you then he will move one. Now I just hope that you are not doing the same. I think it is important that you both want the same in thing. And no matter what he tells you it is obvouis that he still loves her. Look the worst thing is to countue talking with someone that you were with and then deny that you have no feelings for her. I think you have a choice and it is up to you if your gonna play second place to that other girl.

Please share with me if you know of any FREE service out there that will allow someone to call Singapore from USA for free.  Even if it is over the web, I'm find with it.

If you both have Yahoo Instant Messenger you should be able to talk for free.  Just by using the mic and headset/speakers.  We talk with my hubbies parents in Florida all the time this way.

I'm nervous about getting off because of the horror stories. my doc is going to tapper me off but i heard you still go through withdrawl. what are the symptoms? and what can be done to ease your symptoms?

The only withdrawal symptom from a prescripton dosage is a day or two of tiredness and return to depression if that was what you were trying to overcome. You might switch to \nTofranil (which I would prefer)or an SSRI antidepressant if you are afraid you will get depressed off it. Fear not. No illness or death will occur if you stop it cold turkey.

It looks like much ado about nothing to me. We'll still ship the same stuff nomatter who runs the ports, the United Arab Emirates  have actually been our allies in the war on terror so there shouldn't be a problem with the Navy and a good amount of our ports are ran by countries other than the US anyway.\n\nI think the guys in Washington are a bunch of landlubbers who don't really understand the shipping business.

I think you are absolutely right.  The Democrats would reject the cure for cancer if the Republicans invented it.  They made a mountain out of not a molehill but an undersea trench.  There would have been no impact on security, jobs, or anything else.  The ports were already controlled by a foreign country - nothing was going to change.

That spiritual gifts have ceased since the first century and are no longer applicable today.

(1 Corinthians 13:8-11) Love never fails. But whether there are [gifts of] prophesying, they will be done away with; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will be done away with. For we have partial knowledge and we prophesy partially; but when that which is complete arrives, that which is partial will be done away with. When I was a babe, I used to speak as a babe, to think as a babe, to reason as a babe; but now that I have become a man, I have done away with the [traits] of a babe.\n(When this was written, the bible had not yet been completed.  So, there was a need to have these miraculous works to verify whether the messages being taught had God's backing.  Though there were many miraculous works, the knowledge was still incomplete.  Once the bible was finished, "that which was complete" arrived and the powers gradually ceased.  Also, notice how these gifts were regarded as "traits of a babe", things to be done away with once the Christian congregation reached it's maturity.)\n\n(Matthew 7:21-23) “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness.\n(Doing God's will, not the ability to do miraculous gifts, is the true basis for faith.)


We get points?\nI have been all around this site several times and I see something like looks like a "Points" counter, but so far I have not seen a single Point.\nDo they come in colors?

I had a temporary crown placed 2 days ago over a tooth that had a root canal.  I was not having any pain before and didn't think that I would have any pain considering that the tooth had a root canal done before. I am suddenly experiencing sensitivity to pressure and cold in this tooth area.  Is this normal?  What should I do?  Thanks!

It could be that the temporary crown is a little high and may need to be adjusted... get back in to see your dentist.  You shouldn't be experiencing any sensitivity to cold, etc if you have had a root canal... sensitivity is normal for a tooth that has not had a root canal, but not normal for a tooth that has.

If you didn't hear it, you weren't listening.\n\nIf you are interested, you can do a search on Yahoo or Google news for "beltway snipers" and then on their names for more published information.\n\nIf you are REALLY interested, you can request publicly available information from the government.


An offensive term to say "vagina" in Portuguese.


I have to do a 500 word essay wich is good because it's about 2 pages:) well anyways it has to be on how chemistry is applied to any of the following: food or cosmetics. i can choose either one, but i have no clue on how to start or how it may be applied. Please help me get started. THANK YOU ALL:)

Read the back of a package of twinkies. Research what all that junk is and why it's put in them. Determine that chemistry has given the humble twinkie a shelf life of a gazillion years.


I have loved Billy Graham since I was a little girl;=)

I like Billy Graham. He is humble and unpretentious.


If so.... What exactly does that mean? I'm afraid that I might be one also.

If it means you love the lord like crazy and there's nothing you wouldn't give or do for Him, then YES, I absolutely am a Jesus Freak.\n\nIf you think you are one too, Good! Don't fear it embrace it. \n\nJesus is awesome in every way. He deserves nothing less.\n\nMany blessings :)\n\nADDED\n\nI disagree with Learning.  I would totally take it as a huge compliment and honor to be called a Jesus Freak. \n\nBy the way have you read the book? It's awesome. I wouldn't have except my friend lended it to me and asked me to check it out. It's not what it seems. Definately worth checking out.

Herbal - meaning above ground water absorption, through the leaves.  \nI wonder because of noticing that leaves are turned prior to a storm and show the silver side.  Almost like a signal to those around.

Yes, they have stoma which open and close pores on leaves.  Stoma are sensitive to moisture levels.  The leave turning thing is probably a different mechanism.  But yeah plants are very sensitive to water levels, esp in desert areas.  The leaves need water for photosynthesis so it makes sense that they have specialized to capture the most water.
