What were cowboys really like back in the 1800's?

cowboys hardly roughnecked with indians, cowboys spent their days protecting their scalps, and their horses from horse-thieves and ambitious young indian males who syoel the horses to become more rich. indians considered horses as a form of money. when an indian male took a wilf, it was customary to give the girls family 5-10 horses if she was poor, if she was rich it can take up to 100 horses to ern the right to marry her, and if you did you must also be a brave warrior, with many Coups, horses, and brave deeds. etc. Cowboys were cow herders, they spent long months working on ranches and inbetween towns moving large herds of cows or horses to markets. some fights did occure between indians and cowboys but most of them were scrimishes. suprise attacks. etc. usualy the indians got the better end of the fight, and sometimes the cowboy got the better end of the fight. Most fo your "wild west" battles took place between Indians and United States Army. and them battles were more than mere scrimishes. they were long and bloody. sometimes the Army would suprise attack the indians and whipe out entire villages just because people wanted the land. but then you have some battles that came to a draw, some battles won and lost, some battles not all indians were killed, but imprisoned or forced onto reservations... these fight occured to the dissaperance of the buffalo, treaty breaking, to many encounters with white settlers, and a growing white american population, who wanted the lands the indians lived on. one battle in particular was the bloodiest of all the battles. Little big horn. Gen. Louis Armstrong Custar lead 3 army battlions numbering 400 men, agianst a force of 4000 warriors from two combined indian tribes... Souix and the Cheyanne... the most famous of these warriors, Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Big Foot, and many more lead the warriors. Gen L.A. Custar lost 2 battalions, one battlion lead by Maj. Reno was stuck in a smaller battle 3 miles from Little Big Horn, and was kept from advancing unto the battle, his battlion turned back and went back to their fort, while beign cashed by a band of warriors. Gen. L.A. Custar and his 2 remaining battlions all parised in the battle, they were completely whiped out no surviors. they only known white suvivour of the battle was a man known as Little Big-Man, who as a boy was adopeted and raised by the cheyanne after his wagon train was attacked and whiped out by Pawnee indians, only him and his sister survived.


I was just wondering what the names are of the founders of Yahoo.  I read about them about a decade ago, and how they started out while students at some universiity - Yale, or Harvard, or Stanford - or something like that.\n\nBut I cannot remember their names.\n\nAnybody else remember them?


Can't afford atty now; have been served; but have not signed agreement. Out of work; unemployment ended and no support.  \nWhat exactly are MY rights?

you HAVE to answer to the papers that were served to you.  if you do not, all odds are against you, because it will appear to the judge that you simply do not care.  this requires filing a response with the county clerk, which usually costs a fee - call and find out how much in your county.  if you have kids and are interested in keeping them, you should really use an attorney - the courthouse sometimes has referrals that will go on a sliding scale based on how much you earn, or maybe they will have a payment plan since you are unemployed.  \n\nat this point, assume everything is not in your favor.  everything depends on your particular situation.  was he abusive?  were you?  who has been the primary caretaker of the children, etc.?  judges are mean - they will laugh in your face sometimes if you appear pro se, but i think it's worth it, especially if you win.  also, is there material involved, i.e., houses, cars, etc.?  who wants what?  i would attempt to talk to him if possible and find out what he really wants, i.e., kids - joint custody, or weekends only; house, etc.?


Lincoln-Douglas Debates: Where were they held? What significant points did Lincoln raise that showed problems with Douglas's popular sovereignty? How did Douglas's Freeport Doctrine try to resolve the contradictiond of his beliefs? Whom do you feel won the debates/ Defend. Who won the election?

Bel Air is the name of several places in the United States of America.\nFor Example:\n Bel Air, Alabama \n Bel Air, Los Angeles, California \n Bel Air, Kentucky \n Bel Air, Maryland \n Bel Air, Tennessee \n Bel Air, Texas \n\nBel Air could also refer to the Chevrolet Bel Air.\n\nThere are also Bel-Air, Florida and places named Belair, Bel-Aire (as well as Bel Aire, Kansas, without the hyphen), Belleair, and Bellaire.

I have long skinny fingers that always jam when Im playing football with my friends. I have pretty good technigue so it cant be that, so the next logical conclussion is that I have weak fingers. Does anyone know how to add muscle to ones fingers?

Tightly grasping a tennis ball is a great way to build strength in your hands. Another way used -- especially by my high school basketball coach -- is to do fingertip pushups. Holding yourself in the pushup position perched on your fingertips. Both of these are great exercises for building strength in your hands (increasing the strength of your grip).


I have looked on the internet and the only thing I seem to come up with are sites/programs that want to dump nasty things on my PC. Was wondering if anyone out here had one and where they got it. Thanks

Is there going to be another "watergate scandal"

depends if you think trading your liberty for a possible gain in your security is a good idea.\n\nalso depends if you think that a country that says it is 'free' should allow that to happen behind its back and if you think a country that says its 'free' has its own definition of what that means.\n\nany response that would suggest 'do you want people who could bomb us to be able to bomb us?' as a reason that its ok, is exactly the person that is saying 'its ok to take away my liberty which many many many people fought for so that i don't have to be afraid.'\n\nthe people that fought did not fight so that you could be 'safe', that is a very self-centric point of view. they fought and died for 'liberty'. if you think trading it in for a piece of safety is a good idea, then you have no respect for *what* the people fought for and probably don't have a good understanding of the problems this 'free' country faces.\n\ni hope there is a scandal.


I'm thinking of a road on a hot day or the top of a car. The light looks distorted, how come? Even a stove top will do the same, just look at it from a perpindicular view point. But how or why is the light appear to be altered or effected.

Heat doesn't bend light.  Heat alters the density of air, which actually refracts light differently based on its density.  Therefore when you see a heat wave, you're seeing the interaction of hot and cold air.


Cyc is a software system that is an attempt to create an AI with common sense.  20q is an AI created to play the game 20 Questions in which the questioner attempts to guess a correct answer within 20 questions.  You can find both at their respective dot com addresses.  Could a powerful AI like Cyc be developed in an open source environment similar to 20q?

absolutely! and i think thats a great question. i did not know about cyc or 20q.\n\ni could see this yahoo beta program here as something when properly utilized that could become the basis for sometihng 'smart'. and i dont just mean the answers to all of the questions, although those are certainly an integral part. i think that maybe what we are missing in our quest for artificial intelligence is that we are try to figure out how to get a machine to understand all of these facts and figures and answers.\n\ni think that we need to rethink things. what if we could teach a machine to ask questions?\n\nanyway, these are sortof the random musings that bounce around in my mind. good luck!

Do you think bush is doing an ok job as president? I dont\nDo you think that he done everything in a timely manner with Katrina? (after all he is the one who says go) \nwhat do you think about his 7 min wait when the tragety stuck us on 911 ? \nAnd are you happy that he cannont run again as president??? i am

Bush has done  great job for the richest 1% of the population of this country but little to nothing for the poorest.\n\nThe response to Katrina made me angry.\n\nMy gut feeling about the 7 minute wait is that he was waiting for Karl Rove or Dick Cheney to tell him what to do.\n\nYes!\n\nEdited to add how funny it is that Cheney's first name is censored.


I hear they exist in my new home in the mid-Willamette Valley in Oregon. Don't know what they look like or how big they are. I have seen some spiders here that are three or four inches across that scare the crap out of me. Help!

you should be scared. the hobo spider (the agressive house spider) named after how it gets from city to city (by train) most of their bites are dry (no poison) and look no worse than a normal bug bite. But with poison by the next day it will burst open and create a ulcer at the site. if you fear you have been biten go straight to the hospital.


my land lord dosent want to fix the septic line and is accusing me of using to much water. the landlord was obligated to fix asap but didnt. when i first moved in the problem was supposed to be fixed. 2 weeks ago the same thing. he dosent want to pay to fix he said i have to move if the water dosent decrease before next year.

Unless your landlord is paying for your water himself, there is NO WAY he can tell you how much water you should be using. Think about it, would you ask him what cable you should get, or how high you should turn on your heat/air conditioning? If he is refusing to fix something that is his responsibility, sue him. If he requested a copy of a bill that is in YOUR NAME, sue him as well, that's invasion of privacy (unless his name is also on the bill).

Ok so i downloaded this Nero software to burn something but it also changed all my video icons from the standard windows media icon into its wierd yellow thingy. So after i burned my cd, i removed nero throught "add/remove software" and restarted my computer. After that, all my video icons are neither the windows media icon or the nero icon, they were just the standard regular file icon. Wats also wierd is that in "type of file" in "preferences" they are all "Windows Movie" or "Windows Media(TM) Movie"...... so wat happened to my mpeg or avi stuff? and how do i get it back because it looks really unnormal although when i open it, it still opens up and plays regularly

click on my computer,then at the top click on tools then folder options.  Go to file types and choose your movie extensions and single click on the different extensions and choose what you want them to open with where it says open with.


Well, the super bowl is better because in college football the bowls change for the national chamionship and that means the rose bowl,(this year the rose bowl is the championship), wont always be the best bowl to go to. The super bowl will always be the best bowl because in the NFL that is the only you can go to.


At the end of the Flintstones cartoon, Fred went in the door and put a sabre toothed cat out the door. The cat (about as big as Fred) hopped right back in the window and put Fred out.  Why did Fred stand there banging at the door yelling Willma's name when he could have just hopped through the window like the cat?  Hmmmmmmmmm?

It's possible that entering a house through a window conflicted with Fred's religious beliefs.


(For those who may be interested, land surveying, which is sometimes referred to as Geodesy or Geomatics, is generally considered to be closely related to Civil Engineering)

As a Mechanical Engineering student in the 60's I had to take several Civil Engineering courses including land surveying.  You may be able to have your land surveying questions answered in this engineering forum.  Good luck.  Incidentaly, engineering was originally divided into Civil Engineering and Military Engineering for obvious reasons of application.  As science advanced, specialties were added such as mechanical, electrical, chemical and aeronautic engineering.  There are still Civil Engineers who specialize in large structures and earth moving and Military Engineer such as West Point graduates.  Surveying is still a part of Civil Engineering.

Your doctor may suggest that you wait 48 hours before giving your child antibiotics, because most ear infections clear up on their own. One study showed that a "wait-and-see" approach cut the use of antibiotics by 76%. The majority of parents were satisfied with the results.


i need the answer to this question for homework.  if u didn't already know elctron affinity is defined as the attraction of an atom for an electron.

It's because of the number of valence electrons they have. They are both willing to give 3 electrons away (which is why the have a negative three charge), so they also share the same affinity for electrons.

The hits are specific to a targeted market, not the general public. So those who visit this site will be interested in visiting my establishment. The size is 120 x 120 and the cost is $225 a month.  Would this be wise advertising investment?

10,000 unique VISITS (IPs) a day is a good number. HITS are not the count to look for. If the site is getting 10K visits that is worth the investigation. You could ask dozens of more questions: where does the traffic come from, how long do visits last, what are the number of click throughs, etc. Like all advertising, we want a crystal ball to predict the productivity, unfortunately even a tried a true method that produces for hundreds of companies may not work for yours. I always use a three month rule of thumb; if I try an ad for three months and it doesn't produce above break even it gets pulled.

I am trying to create a mysql/php script. Right now I know I need a table for categories.

A lookup table is just a regular table data structure that is comprised of a small number of columns mapping a name to a value.\n\nFor instance:\n* Table..: CATEGORY_DATA\n* Columns: category_id, category_name\n* Values.: "1", "Sports"\n           "2", "Sci-Fi"\n\nThese category_id column is called a "primary key" because it is unique to the table - it acts a "foreign key" on another table allowing you to "lookup" the name of the numeric values.\n\nThis table can be created like any other, either using a GUI tool or entering the SQL into the MySQL database terminal application: "CREATE TABLE blah (id NUMBER, name VARCHAR, etc) ..."

Seriously, you need to learn to talk to girls that aren't asking for money.  Of course you can webcam with adult girls without paying a cent, but beware; the conversation will end just as soon as you demand to see the clitoris.

he tells me that my lifestyle is not acceptable in society.... I am what you would call a goth but I am a nice person and no one else seems to judge me... he told me if I get too "goth" he will not let me see my friends, wear my black clothes, and take out my earrings. How can I make him understand that the world is changing.

Your lifestyle may not be acceptable in his generation. Goth isn't a kind of person, it's an identity tool, and we need them (especially in our teen years) to help us seperate ourselves from our parents. I wouldn't bother trying to make him understand anything. He'll either get it or he won't. Fighting him on it will probably make things worse for you. Just act naturally, like yourself, and if you continue to be a good person and look however you want to look, he'll wise up and treat you like a person again.

I keep seeing "Web 2.0" pop up all over the place but I can't seem to work out what it is exactly.  Is it a technology or a movement?

Tim O'Reilly, one of the biggest proponents, has a nice article defining what its supporters say it is. (Link below)\n\nThe Register polled its users and got a slightly more cynical take. (Other link below)\n\nThe truth can be gleaned between the two - chances are, depending on who you talk to, they mean one of these two stances.


Also name the mechanism of the reaction between propane and chlorine.

Since propane has three carbon atoms the isomers could be\n\nCl(CH2)-CH2-CH3\nor\nCH3-CH(Cl)-CH3\nThe isomerism in it is structural or position isomerism.\n\n\nThe reaction is as under\n             SN2  \nC3H9 + Cl2 --------------> monochloropropane\n\nThe mechanism is Nucleophilic Substitution. It is usually SN1 that is Unimolecular substitution.


Whatever happened to former MICKEY MOUSE club member Darleen Gillespie who was convicted of security fraud in the stock market???\nI know she went to prison in 2000 for two years and was to get out in 2002.\nI haven't heard any more about here.\nWhat happened to Darleen??

She is now 64 years old and is a registered nurse according to imdb.com.  The only other information given was that she was at the time of her conviction engaged to Jerry Frashilla.  I don't know if they ever married or not.  But i do know she has 2 children, Lisa and David.  At one time she was a country-western singer under the name Darleen Valentine, and she became a US citizen on 9/5/56 (previously a Canadian citizen), shortly after graduating from Providence High School in Burbank, CA after the end of "The Mickey Mouse Club" in 1955.  She is sometimes credited now as Darleen Gillespie Gammon, unknown if that is her married name or not.  Last known residence was in Oxnard, California.  There are numerous mentions across the web of a class-action suit against Disney Corporation on part of former Mouseketeers and other child actors, but i don't know anything more specific.

Alot of people smoke pot. Lawyers, Doctors, teachers, maybe even the cashier at your local grocery. Im not saying that all of them do but there is no doubt a small percentage. Alot of bad propaganda has been forced on to pot. Its not for everyone and sure isn't for young teens. But lots of research show that the properties of marijuana can help prevent cancer cells and doesn't kill nearly half as much brains cells as alcohol. As for safety, there will unfortunatly always be risk involved when using an illegal drug because of legality and such. And since pot is the least addictive in the narcotic list, any other drug could surely pose a serious risk to your health and life.

Why do you have to learn Biology in High School its so hard and i think it is useless, is it useless?

It's not useless. You may not use all the details in your future, but the class should be teaching you how to think, and you will use that forever (hopefully). I remember feeling the same way about math in high school, and I had a hard time believing it when anyone said it was worth anything. It was. It's harder if you don't have a good personality match with your teacher, but really, it's your life so don't let someone else hold you back.\n\nYou do need biology for several reasons. Anytime you have to go to the doctor, you should have some understanding about what is going on, and biology makes you informed. You're better off when you're buying a car if you know at least something about how things work. Same thing with medicine. It's good to be informed.\n\nAlso, there is a lot of stuff that goes on in the world that people have opinions about. When something comes up like cloning, or stem cell therapies, or something to do with evolution...it might not seem like it affects you very much, but someday you might vote on things that affect these issues. And, okay, I'll admit this is a little selfish on my part. I do research, and even though what I do isn't very controversial, sometimes people don't understand what is really going on. There have been laws passed that limit the kind of science people can do, and sometimes it's because people don't understand what they are voting on. I *hope* that people care, because ultimately bad choices slow down research that can help people.\n\nAsk questions here. People will help you. Sometimes it's just a matter of seeing things in a different way and then it makes sense.

marriage is about love not whether you are male and female. so yea...why does it HAVE to be about sex!?

i told ya. sex is how ppl show how much affection they have for there partner. it's not a necessity. as long as you have your way of showing how much you love your partner that's all there is to it! :) it's SO not about sex only. it's a way of showing affection.


I'm talking about meter as in measurements.

Metre/meter comes from Greek metron `measure,' which itself comes ultimately from the Indo-European base *me- `measure.'


I believe in celestial life and terrestrial life...\n\n1 Corinthians 15:39-58\n\n39  All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.\n \n40  There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.\n \n41  There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.\n \n42  ¶ So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption:\n \n43  it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power:\n \n44  it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\n \n45  And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.\n \n46  Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.\n \n47  The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.\n \n48  As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.\n \n49  And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.\n \n50  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.\n \n51  ¶ Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,\n \n52  in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. \n \n53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\n \n54  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.  \n \n55  O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?  \n \n56  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.\n \n57  But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.\n \n58  ¶ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.


he stood me up for two hours and its not the first time

If he has additional signs of commitmentphobia, dump him yesterday.  If he arrives awfully late to meetings with all people and has no other signs of commitmentphobia, start arriving 2 hours late to your dates with him or come on time with an interesting book and enjoy your boyfriend!\nLogan\n(For a list of the usual signs of male commitmentphobia, check the web or buy "Men Who Can't Love".)

Yes end it now. Your still young and will find somebody\nthat will treat you the right way.


is has something to do with the rock cycle

It is not a technical term. It is an acronym for DO IT YOURSELF. So many of the teaching excercises for the rock cycle use it to describe activities where the students DO-IT-THEMSELVES to see weathering processes.\n\nAnother example of why I hate acronyms.


Which field am I more likely to get employment and a good salary?

For fresh graduates, more knowledge doesn't hurt. If you go for both, it means you know more than a student with only an acct concentration and more than one with only a finance concentration. Once you start working, you will realize what really interests you, and then you can pursue a concentration (Masters or professional certification) in one particular area.\n\nYou can imagine the tradeoff: more classes and more to study, which puts your GPA at risk. So if you are going to do both, make sure you can handle it and put in the time. Employers hire students with proven academic/professional experience, meaning a student with 3.8 GPA from a second-tier school is more likely to be hired than a 2.8 GPA student from a first-tier school.

verichip  is a implant used to monitor people and when linked to veripay could be !!!!!!

Well, it is important to remember that the mark of the beast is 666. In wondering if the Verichip is that mark you would have to know its base code, but even if you did, it does not necessarily mean it is the mark of the beast. \nThe reason I say this is because the mark of the beast will be instituted throughout the world as an economic resource, so with that in mind there really is no way to tell if Verichip or any other identification chip is actually a precursor or the actual tool that will be used for the mark of the beast. \nIn the Bible, it tells us that each person will have an offer of whether or not to take the mark, and each person will have to choose. It also says that anyone who does choose to take the mark will have lost all hope of salvation and going to heaven. It is important to remember this because with regard to Verichip – that situation has not arisen yet and that God is very specific in what He tells us is coming. \nSo, I would have to say that Verichip may be a precursor to that upcoming economic world system based on 666, but at this time is not that mark – because the Scripture also tells us that whoever refuses to take the mark will be killed. That situation has not arisen yet. \nIf you are concerned with where we are in God’s plan – watch Israel. Israel is God’s timepiece, not the mark, the antichrist, wars, and all the other bad things going on in the world, watch Israel and you will be able to tell, by reading the Bible for yourself where we are in God’s plan. ~ God bless.\n\nRevelation 13:16-18; 14:9-11;  15:2; 16:2; 19:20; 20:4

Do we live in a deterministic world or in a probabilistic one?

From theoritical point of view it exist..Because it includes a infinite no of trials which is valid in books.But practically a probability can't exist because  to find out the proper measure we have to carry on the experiment for infinite times which is impossible(even for a idle guy like me).\n  It is measured by the equation of P=(favourable outcomes)/(total outcomes).for a n trial experiment and then tend n to infinite.\n  Just like a coin toss.We assume that if we toss the coin for infinite times the above fraction would be half.\n Although practically it may seem for 10 experiment you get 6 H and 4 T (if ur luck is bad u may find a 10:0 ratio also.)\n  So probability depends on the deterministic behaviour solely not on randomness or non determinism.

Does anyone know of a website offering free fantasy cricket?

The www.dreamcricket.com game is free and easy to play, they run frequent competitions covering a particular tournament.  They have been running competitions for years and sometimes give out prizes.\nThe www.cricketinc.com is more complex but offers the biggest prizes of any free fantasy cricket game.  It can be quite rewarding to learn.\nThe www.cricketweb.net site has a new format for free fantasy cricket games and has a new competition starting on the 6th of Feb 2006.  An improving site.\nThe www.sportal.com.au site has rare virtual cricket competitions, usually covering Australian home series.\nThe cricinfo site occassionally has a fantasy game but it has a poor interface and is not very interactive.\nThe www.raindelay.net site occassionally has games using tests involving Australia.\nThe www.testskills.com site has some fantasy games.\nThe www.fantasyfactory.co.uk usually has a free fantasy game covering England test and ODI series.\nThe www.bigcricket.com forum has occassional fantasy games and a thread on free fantasy games.


When I installed Windows XP the installer program assigned system paritition as F:\ (because in this moment found another Windows installed).\nNow I want to upgrade my harddisk and I've made a security copy of it with Norton Ghost over the new disk. \nBut when I turn on the computer with the new harddisk installed Windows starts but it freezes when has passed a minute (rightly when the users appears).\nI've run the rescue disk and I've seen that "map" command assigns to this new disk the letter C:\ (no F:\) but this is incorrect (all the system links points to F:\Windows). With the command "map" I can see but no change the assigned letter and can't access to Windows Disk MAnagement because te disk don't start.\nHow can I change this disk letter outside Windows?

Reasonable answers only, not ones based on school pride or prejudice.

Yes, they will win, as they have the two first picks of the NFL draft on their team, in Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart.  They are both very special players, and will be able to beat Texas.  Plus, they have a genius for a head coach, which in my opinion gives them the ultimate edge.  Texas does have Vince Young as quarterback, but I think he is equal to Leinart, so with all that being said, I think USC will be by a touchdown.

Given an entirely flat surface for miles and miles all around, an average height of aprx 5'10", and 100% visability.. at what distance does the horizon form?

I did some calculations a while back when I wanted to know how far away on the water a person standing in a rowboat could be seen. As best as I can remember, the top of his head would disappear from view at about 6 miles, given absolutely perfect viewing conditions, with no shimmering of heat waves etc from the waters surface or the surrounding air.

the button where it is supposed to close, broke off and i think thats why it won't work. But i am not so very sure, though.When i push play, its reads the disc but after a few more seconds it will say "disc". So i really do not know why it won't work and plus i even putted in brand new batteries and it still says disc.

The laser which reads the disk is proabably burning or burnt out. This is something that can be repaired, but in most cases it is just cheaper to go buy a new one, which are as little as like 30 bucks at wal mart or somewhere like that.

Czech writer Karel Čapek introduced the word "Robot" in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) in 1921. The term "robot" was actually not created by Karel Čapek but by his brother Josef, also a respected Czech writer and painter. "Robot" comes from the Czech word "robota", meaning "forced labor, drudgery."


During the first year the color of the eye is changing few times- why does it happen?

Eye color is a complicated trait, because it is controlled by several genes. It is likely that all of the genes have not yet been found. So far, scientists have a model in which one gene can either be blue or brown, with brown being dominant, and the other gene being blue or green and green being dominant. The brown trait from the first gene overrides either blue or green on the second. So, if someone has the brown trait, they have brown eyes. This model obviously fails to explain hazel, gray, and various other multi-shaded eye colors.\n\nWhat these genes do is turn on melanin production in the eye, the same thing that determines skin color. The more melanin, the darker the eyes. The reason a baby's eye color changes is it is born with very little melanin, both in its skin and in its eyes. As it is exposed to sun, melanin production increases until they've reached the skin and eye color their genes code for.\n\nThis is unrelated to hair color, which is controlled by several genes as well.


I have a friedn who have cysts in the ovaries.Please tell me what are the difficulties faced in her life.And it would be appreciable if any one can provide the natural cure for this with out surgery or with out using the tablets.Thank You.

Your friend may have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS. PCOS is an endocrine disorder that causes some women to have cysts around their ovaries in a pearl-like fashion. Other symptoms included eratic periods, acne, excess facial hair, obesity, infertility, and others. Patients can have one, or many, of these symptoms. PCOS also causes the body to be insulin resistant, which can lead to future health problems such as diabetes or heart disease. The disorder is thought to be genetic, although this is not confirmed. Many doctors simply treat the symptoms of this disorder, rather than treating the actual problem, which is of no help long term. I would suggest that your friend see an endocrinologist or a reproductive endocrinologist and have her hormone levels tested. If she is taking hormonal birth control, she'll need to discontinue this for a few weeks prior to testing so that the results will be accurate.

At present, Mozilla Firefox without a doubt.\nVersion 1.5 introduces several new features, including an improved software update system, a new option to clear private browsing data, drag-and-drop reordering of browser tabs, and more robust pop-up blocking.\n\nAs more users continue to abandon Internet Explorer, Mozilla's popular Firefox gains traction in the browser space. Version 1.5 of Firefox offers a few notable features, foremost of which is the ability to reorder tabs by dragging and dropping them. You'll also find a tool that lets you quickly clean up your surfing history with two clicks of the mouse or a hot-key combo. The latest iteration of the browser seems more responsive than it has in the past and also is more efficient; with 10 windows open, Firefox consumed slightly less RAM than either IE or Opera.\n\nIf you're new to Firefox entirely, you'll appreciate the other features, including the RSS feeds, the JavaScript debugger, the basic download manager, and the ability to search several popular sites (such as Google) directly from the address bar. You can easily create toolbars by dragging and dropping icons. More technically minded users will appreciate that Firefox displays the page source in a new window, using indents and color-coded tags like an HTML editor. The built-in pop-up blocker is still extremely effective, and Firefox's reuptation for tight security is still well deserved. Anyone who's tired of IE will find more than one reason to like this free alternative.\n\nTop Ten Reason To Switch To Firefox:\n1. Tabbed Browsing - Makes surfing the web faster\n2. Popup Blocking\n3. Find Stuff Easier\n4. Simplified Privacy / Annoyance Eliminator\n5. Better Bookmarks and History\n6. Accessible, Intelligent, Responsive\n7. Customizable and Extendable\n8. Modern Download Manager\n9. Built for standards\n10. KISS (Keep It Simple and Straight-Forward)


i have a motherboard with SATA 1 connections.\nas i plan to buy a motherboard with SATA 2, i ordered a SATA 2 disk.\nmy question is if the SATA 2 disk will function correctly (but slower) on my current board while i dont buy the new one ?\nor do i run the risk of getting corrupted data on my SATA 2 disk ?\nmy OS is XP.

All of the SATA specificatoins are backwards compatible.  Your SATA 2 drive will run on a SATA 1 motherborad and your SATA 1 drive ill run on a SATA 2 motherboard.  The only difference is that you won't get some of the features available with SATA 2 if both the drive and motherboard aren't SATA 2.


Good question!  All we know right now is that you can do more answers, rating, etc. per day (for example, going from 10 to 20 when you get to level 2).  I'm level 2 and this is the only difference that I've noticed so far.


the reason i ask is that it seems that christianity and catholicsim (dont know how to spell) look down upon my religion as though we are some sort of satanists. yet they accept others such as muslim ad hinduism and say nothing about it. its like we are the evil to their good, when if you look historicaly, we started their religions, their are just offshots of us!

As a wiccan practioner we are taught that it is because we do not rely on the Gods or Godess to do things for us. We do it ourselves through magic. We ask for their help and strength but we do not rely on them for everything. Also it is viewed as the devils work because magic is involved and alot of times at night. If something went wrong in the community they could blame it on "witches" since they preformed magic.


You hear people talk about how they "love" a celebrity that they'll probably never meet. Some people think that this is really a matter of lust; but I'm not sure. Some groupies will do almost anything to meet that particular person. People love other people for all kind of reasons. This may be vain love, but at least it's love; is it?

I think that "infatuated" would be a better word.  These people just can't stop thinking about how great the celebrity is.  The celebrity becomes their life.


No, because the Red States do most of the Charitable giving.

Quantum mechanics is a fundamental physical theory that replaces Newtonian mechanics and classical electromagnetism at the atomic and subatomic levels and is the underlying framework of many fields of physics and chemistry, including condensed matter physics, quantum chemistry, and particle physics. Often, it is the answer to questions when general relativity fails.

Any answer is acceptable, though one with a good explanation and reliable sources is preferable to a simple "I support it." or "I think it is junk."

My view is the same as the scientific mainstream.  Evolution is by far the best explanation for the change of life through time and for most similarites among organisms seen today.\n\nSince creationism is in the news today, I'll add this:\n\nA religion is a set of beliefs and practices that are believed in despite the fact that they cannot be proved to most people's satisfaction. Adhering to a religion requires a "leap of faith" by its adherants.\n\nScience is a set of self-correcting methods for discovering how nature works, and the body of knowledge developed using those methods. A theory is a concept that has been tested against scientific knowledge and does a good job of explaining it. Most people agree upon the explanation given by a scientific theory.\n\nEvolution does not explain the origin of life. It explains how life developed over time. Evolution has nothing to say about the existence or nonexistence of God or any other supernatural being. A large proportion of scientists, including evolutionary scientists, believe in Christianity or another religion.\n\nEvolution is in conflict with Genesis Chapter 1, the other creation stories in the Old Testament, and with the creation stories of other religions. That is not because creation stories claim to explain the _origin_ of life; evolution does not address the _origin_ of life. It is because creation stories explain the origins of species, or "kinds," or whatever terminolgy you use, separately from each other and evolution explains that each species arose from an earlier species by natural selection acting upon random mutations.\n\n(Did you know that the Old Testament contains several versions of the creation story and that these versions are in conflict with each other?)\n\nIntelligent design is a variety of the pseudoscience of creationism, which was created by Christian fundamentalists.\n\nThe Christian doctrine of creation, as understood by mainstream Christians, teaches that God created and sustains the universe. It does not specify whether the original creation was accomplished by divine creation (creation ex nihlo), the Big Bang, or by another means.\n\nFundamentalists believe that the Bible is inerrantly and infallibly true. They fear that if any aspect of the Bible is not "literally true" (that it doesn't mean what they interpret it to mean), then the salvation promised by Jesus was a lie.\n\nThis extreme belief, coupled with general knowledge of science, has led fundamentalists to create a set of beliefs to rationalize their interpretation of the Bible with their knowledge of science. That set of pseudoscientific beliefs has evolved from creationism to scientific creationism, to intelligent design.\n\nBy far, the large majority of Christians do not link the factual correctness of the Bible to the spiritual truths it reveals and the promise of salvation made by Jesus.\n\nThus, by a wide margin, most Christians believe in the doctrine of creation, but do not believe in the pseudoscience of creationism, whatever name it goes by.


I wonder how heart beats...who gives its mechanical energy and motion?

Because of chemical reactions that occur in the body, you produce very small\namounts of electrical energy.  This electrical energy sends a message to your\nheart and makes it beat.  There is a patch of cells in the upper right\nchamber of your heart called the "pacemaker" that first gets the electrical\nsignal and then sends the signal on to the rest of the parts of the heart.\nThere are parts in your brain that can control how FAST or SLOW your heart\nbeats, but for normal, everyday beating, the pacemaker keeps your heart\ngoing.  Some people have a bad pacemaker and need to get an artificial one. Your natural pacemaker — a small mass of cells located in your heart's upper chamber — normally runs like clockwork. But if its electrical impulses are disrupted or slowed due to aging, scarring from a heart attack or other reason, it may need assistance from an artificial pacemaker. Some pacemakers also can strengthen a heart weakened by congestive heart failure.


and ignores your calls? if he don't use condoms with girlfriend

Have you asked what the condoms are for?  If you guys don't use condoms then, HELLO?  But if you do then he might have an excuse in that case tell him to leave them with you.  The staying out all night if you didn't know where he was at and you couldn't get in touch with him then you should come to your own conclusion but I think it' pretty clear. I'm sorry.


My schlong is too large. I have met ladies and taken them home for the night only to have them refuse to have sex with me because of my size.  One girl even jumped up out of bed, threw her clothes on and ran out the door saying "You are NOT putting that thing in me !!" and more than twice ladies have ended even platonic relationships once they discover what I am packing.  I really don't want surgery but I'm at my wit's end.  Any other suggestions would be appreciated also.

I'm on the Depo shot and I have gained a good amount of weight, my appetite has increased, and for the past week I am feeling little faint thumps in the lower part of my abdomen. I took a test and it came up invalid, I don't know what to do.

I was on depo before and there is a good reason why I am not anymore.\nI got alot of side effects: weight gain, facial blemishes, always feeling tired.\nThe only pro to it all is that you didn't get your period- frankly I'd rather get my period than have all that continue to happen.\nAlthough depo is one of the most effective birth controls out there for some people it's not for them.\nIf you have any doubts- go see a doctor.

But that's not what this news message really is about.\nLucas mentioned to FOXNews yesterday that he is now devoting himself full-time to writing and producing Indiana Jones IV:\n\nLucas told me that he's got a script now from Jeff Nathanson, and he's tweaking it. That won't go on forever, he assured me, and filming will occur before Harrison Ford goes into a nursing home.>>

Doctor:  You've got 6 months to live.\nPatient:  I want a second opinion.\nDoctor:  OK, you're an a**hole, too.\n\nGynecologist:  I can see your nervous, would you like me to numb you down there?\nPatient:  Yes, thank you doctor...\nGynecologist (putting his head between patient's legs):  NUM NUM NUM NUM!\n\nAn old couple goes to a doctor's office and asks the practicing physician to watch them have sex.  Doctor obliges, and not seeing anything wrong, tells the couple they're fine and sends them on their way.  The couple returns a few more times, and the scene repeats itself.  The doctor finally tells the couple, "Look, I've told you over and over that everything is fine.  In fact, I'd say you're healthier sexually than most couples your age, why do you keep coming here for this?  The man replies, "We can't go to my house because of my wife.  We can't go to her house because of her husband.  The Holiday Inn charges $150, and the Hyatt charges $200.  You only charge $100, and we get $80 back from Medicare!"\n\nHope these weren't too dirty, and hope you feel better!


What causes it and how can you know what to do .

This is a drop in blood pressure caused by uncontrolled coughing. The coughing can trigger certain reflexes that drop the blood pressure. In this situation, one approach to treatment would be to give anti-tussive (anti-cough) therapies. Some examples would be dextromethorphan (found in some cough syrups) or codeine. Whether you have tussive syncope would need to be determined by your neurologist, and I recommend you seek a neurologic evaluation.


Going back to the origins of the NBA, name me the best overall player and why?

You are right. Michael Jordan had everything: knew the basics, dealt with the pressure, helped his teammates, earned amazing stats, dunked from the free throw line, and led the Bulls to 6 NBA Championships. What else could you wish for in the greatest basketball player of all time?


Are there any of the envelope stuffing programs that truly work, are not just rip-offs and are free? I have a big problem with having to paying a business so I can work for them.

It is a Rip Off. Surely you know that Machines can do it hundreds of times faster than a Human and much cheaper. If a machine can make and package those toothpicks in America and the company makes a profit how better can Automatic Letter systems be with Postal Stamping included. Know that is a apple and orange thing, but correlation is there.


I hear it discussed on sports radio all the time, but never understood the origin of the term.

It "refers to baseball fans gathering around a hot stove during the cold winter months to continue to discuss baseball. Since most free agent signings and trades occur during this time, the baseball offseason of many significant transactions, and the news and rumors about those transactions, is often referred to as the Hot Stove League."


I dont think that its so bad to treat a woman with respect. She will worship you in return ...isss thaaat soooo baddd?? Come on dude.

It's very obvious that boys aren't being raised that way anymore.  I find that it surprises women when you show the old fashioned respect now, such as holding a car door open or letting them go first in anything, or even picking something up that they drop.  But I agree with you, and I find it's better to carry on that tradition than to let it go.  I still believe that men should work and be the one that supports the family, but my wife doesn't agree with that because she doesn't like staying home so I'm letting her have her way until she regrets it.  I have it ingrained in me to take care of the woman and it bothers me not to, but it's not that way commonly anymore.


My account was terminated.  Yahoo i.d. robinstgrave@yahoo.com.  I had important files on that account and need to recover them.  Please advise.

You'll have to speak with a Yahoo! representative about it personally. My guess is you may have a difficult time recovering the account, but good luck anyways.


I'm just curious - If my boyfriend and I got married I would have the oppertunity to change my name...should I keep mine?  Should I take his?  (Lisa Lee sounds kinda dumb to me but then we'd all have the same last name - we've got two kids) or should I do something different altogether?  Lee for last name but change my 1st?  Curious...

I agree with the hyphinating idea. I think your name would sound just fine hyphinated. That way it keeps both your families included in your name aswell.


ANSYS finite element analysis software enable engineers to:\n\n-Build computer models or transfer CAD models of structures, products, components, or systems.\n-Apply operatingloads or other design performance conditions.\\n-Study the physical responses, such as stress levels, temperature distributions, or the impact of electromagnetic fields.\n-Optimize a design early in the development process to reduce production costs.\n-Do prototype testing in enviroments where it otherwise would be undesireable or impossible (for example, biomedical applications).\n\nAnsys Mechanical is a "structural/thermal simulation software package that offers simulation tools to determine stresses, temperatures, displacements and contact pressure distributions on all your component and assembly designs.  It gives the engineer a greater understanding of how well their models react to common combinations of phenomena."


This is a mental thing.  You've told yourself that you will feel relaxed after you pop your knuckels, so you do.  It is not a proven way to relax, and it doesn't relax me.  It gives me anxiety to hear someones knuckles pop.  \n\nThe sound is produced by air trapped inbetween you knuckles, and when you pull it releases the air.  Also, a common misconception is that cracking your knuckles will cause arthritus.  It actually does not.  Your just releasing the oxygen inbetween your knuckles.

I just helped my uncle procure a LINKSYS WTR54G before the holidays. He not even using the wireless side of the router yet, just hardwire connections. I connected it to our local ISP's DSL modem and hard-coded in his STATIC IP address (just like mine here in the same town), and the connection is great. We have two systems connected via hardwire, One XP, one ME. I have upgraded th WTR54G firmware to the latest at the LINKSYS website.\n\nWithin about a day, both systems lose connection to the internet, as does my laptop if I just plug it in. All systems still have an IP, and I can still connect to http://192.168.1.1 to manage the router.\n\nTo get the systems reconnected, all I haved to do is open the LINKSYS console, click APPLY SETTINGS (without even making any changes!) and all the systems start connecting again.\n\nAny ideas? I am an IT Professional myself, so there is not anything you could talk me through I am sure, I just do not have any significant expertise in router hardware.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G\n\nUpdate the firmware from 3rd party.  Much better than linksys firmware.  All your troubles will be gone.  Best firmware HyperWRT.  Did I mention it was free?  You need v4 routers or less.  Linksys did a bad thing and downgraded their routers with v5.


For a tattoo, someones name, i want it written in another language, possibly japanese, chinese, celtic, etc.

You may want to check out this web site - "Omniglot".\nFrom what you're asking about, it should suit your needs.\n\nHere's the link: http://www.omniglot.com/links/yournamein.htm\n\nHope this helps you.


For example, Adobe completed its acquisition of Macromedia just recently, and the NYSE deleted the Macromedia symbol MACR. But Yahoo finance also deleted the symbol, so that a quote search for MACR results in a "no such stock symbol" message. Thus if an investor is unaware that Adobe is the new owner, they are completely in the dark as to what happened to Macromedia. Your competitor at MSN Money Central retains the symbol, and sends you to the page where there is news about Adobe and Macromedia. Why can't Yahoo be kinder to investors?

Well, the answer to your last question is... they can if they want to.\n\nI don't have the answer to your first question.  But I do have a tip.  If you get 'no such stock symbol', then do a yahoo web search on the ticker.  The first result for MACR was the fiance page, which when click yielded the same result.  But, if you click the 'cached' button on the search results, you see the last known good page of that.... so it's the best you can get on Yahoo I suppose.  The cached page shows the merger headline, which would point you in the right direction.


Everywhere I look I see, I HATE PRESIDENT BUSH! What the heck? Is there like no republicans on yahoo answers or is all the conservatives just cowering in the corner?

The conservatives have ALWAYS been more outspoken when it comes to public forums.  They are under the belief that they are speaking from a place where the country started...the original and/or right place for the country to be.  The problem is, the liberals are out there working there butts off getting the work done while the conservatives are out "speaking" against the changes taking place.  \n\nSo, you see, the conservatives voice will always be abundant and they will always be the first ones to jump on the bandwagon....therefore they are the voices you hear most.  However, the reason for an apparent lack of liberal voices here is significant only to represent the number of liberals that are actually DOING something about the things asked here on this site.\n\nMake sense?  Hope it helped.


What the metal that reject the hole Visible Spectra?

Mercury is probably the best metal as it is liquid at room temperature.  This also means that you will have to have a horizontal mirror.


Please add details like features, performance, memory usage, etc and some comparisons from others.

I agree. I am mainly on the go between campus and several other computers, so if you like portable applications, I suggest you try portable firefox by John Haller. The guy has created a wide array of portable applications that are compact enough to fit on a flash.\n\nPortable Firefox - 1.7 release is the latest version. It uses anywhere from 25-60k memory usage, completely portable, themes, extensions. It's good for students and/or people on the go. IE6 is generally in over 90% of all computers, but things flex. It's more business type-ish. \n\nIn any case, check http://www.browsehappy.com for some tips.\nAlso, if you'd like information regarding portable applications, http://portableapps.com/.


1. How do i get a car?\n2. How do i get a drivers liscence?\n3. How do i get my computer working?\n4. How cold is it in Canada?\n5. What is a virus?

1. apply for one \n2. rent, buy, borrow, or steal (not recommending last one).\n3. go to DMV \n4. solved already\n5. watch weather channel\n6. www.webmd.com or read you computer manual.\nP.S. I believe you are supposed to ask A question(meaning one, a single question) on this forum.


Your best bet is to call the hospital directly and ask.  According to their web site, the "Information" number is (410) 955-5000.  They also list a "Patient Information" number as (410) 502-4000, so that might be another one to try.


i was wondering if haveing cholesterol of 325 of a 59 year old male was healthy? And i was wondering what it will do to the health if this person?

Having only a total cholesterol # in your case is just the tip of the iceberg. What you really need is a full fasting (before eating) lipid panel. This will give your health care provider (I hope you have one!) information on the different sub-types of cholesterol. These numbers are used (along with your past medical history) to decide the best way to treat your elevated cholesterol. Diet & exercise are important to all patients, but some also add drug therapy right off.

My house is wired with CAT5 and most rooms have at least one network connection.  I want to set up a router so that I can have wireless access to the network but also be able to use the wired network for things devices like Slingbox and Sonos.  Can someone describe how I should set this up - i.e. can I just set up a single router to do this or do I need to use a wireless router and a separate switch?  I'd also like to know which routers/switches you'd recommend in the $200 price range.

I have a 5 computer network at home. 1 computer is wireless. I use a Dlink DI-524 wireless router. It has 4 wired ports on the back and wireless capability. It has a built in firewall and it seems to be plenty fast. It cost me $50 with a $25 mail in rebate(so actual cost was $25) at Office Max about 4 months ago.\nIf you need more wired ports use a switch. They run about $20 to $30 and they are truly plug and play.\n\nAs for the wireless setup...\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/athome/moredone/wirelesssetup.mspx#step3\n"D"

im going to use a 939 socket AMD 64 3500 or better i havent seen any reviews for the premium board yet is it any better? ASUS A8N-SLI Premium nForce4 SLI or ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe nForce4 sli.

nForce 4 is pretty good.  I really like MSI motherboards.  They consistently score high on comparisons. \n\nTake a look at the motherboard comparisons yourself: http://www.anandtech.com  and http://www.tomshardware.com   \n\nI look for consistency, performance, price, ease of use/setup, reliability... MSI scores really high all over the board.\n\nI didn't tell you which board to buy because you need to decide for yourself.  I decided, after reading benchmark comparisons, that the MSI board overall was better than the other choices.  \n\nPlease don't listen to anyone telling you part X is better than part Y unless they give you lots of facts that you can verify... better yet look and read for yourself on those links I provide...  You will learn a lot that way!


I crochet handcrafted afghans made to order. Not sure how to get my business "out there"...

E-bay has a way to set up a virtual store. If you have a local shop that someone would look to buy things that you are trying to sell, talk to the owner. Thay may buy from you or allow you to display your items in his store. You could put them on consignment there and pay the owner of the store a small fee when something sells...

Having been a corporate recruiter for a number of years prior to getting involved in education I can tell you that the ones with the greatest recognition are:\n\nhttp://www.monster.com\nhttp://www.hotjobs.com\nhttp://www.carrerbuilder.com\n\nThat being said, if you are involved in a specific industry or profession that has an association (IEEE, ASTD, etc.) their job boards generally lead to higher quality results.\n\nKeep you eye out because there are always good job boards out there, but you have to do some work to get yourself noticed. What works best in my experience is a pretty broad approach that includes posting your resume, applying to positions you are qualified for and networking (this one is important).


I routinely hire developers, but it's hard to sort through the pretenders and find the gem programmers.\n\nHave any hints?

As a "gem programmer" (modesty off) who was recently interviewed I can assure that there's only one way: to see their work. Ask them to show you their early works and talk about it.\n\nA couple years ago I was team leader with 17 developers. One programmer was great, articles in CUJ etc. - and worth nothing for the company. He just did his own hobby, neglecting the projects.\n\nHe could pass any test you can think about, but still, you got nothing usable from him.\n\nAnd as myself, after a couple million USD value software produced and sold, I will fail "clever" tests like the details of "cout" function - I never used it, and I saw it only in examples or logging.\n\nAnd when you hire a bad programmer, he/she will tend to hire/retain even worse coworkers. The result will be bugs and missed market.\nOnly Microsoft can survive such thing. :)

My friend has a boyfriend who yells at her.  She doesn't like being yelled at and asks him to stop, but then he tells her that she deserves it.\n\n1 - Should she leave him?  Why or why not?\n2 - Is he being verbally abusive?

1.  Leave, run dont walk.  IF he is insensitve to her needs and feelings at this stage, and over such a small thing, then how will he act later?  HE cares not for her, but his own ego and self importance and worth.  Dump his buttocks.\n\n2.  HE is verbally abusing her.  She doesnt like it, finds if offensive, and he does it purposely cause he knows that it hurts her.  what a jerk.


I'm looking for an annual rental in point pleasant or around that area, which paper should I be reading?\n\nWhat is the name of the most popular newspaper in Ocean County?


I have been struggling to find answers for so long, I cant even think of were to start.  If any of this sounds at all familiar please let me know.  It all started when I was pregnant with my first child (about 15 years ago) when I would eat certain foods I would get heart palpitations, short of breath, weak, headache and nausea....it would go away after about 24 hours.  When I had my baby the symptms went away.  Got pregnant again and they came back is time after I gave birth they didn't go away.  Now, 12 years later, after going on the atkins diet, I have realized it is definately related to carbs or sugar, but it seems to build up "toxins" before I start getting symptoms which now include the above and edema, boils, acne, yeast infections and bad headaches.  Last night I ate a piece of cake and I feel horrible this morning, chest pressure, headache, edema, no appetite,this also happens if I eat too much. All blood sugar tests I have had done have been normal thus far...any suggestion

Possibly Candida overgrowth throughout your whole system.  Take strong probiotics every day and stay away from refined carbs.  You might be really intolerant to sugars and have Hypoglycemia too (low blood sugar).  Hypoglycemia (and diabetes) can be triggered when pregnant.  \n\nOther possibility, you have a food allergy. Try the exclusion diet to see what is causing it.


i need to write some essays about geometry as a language and geometry in fine art through the ages. also i need some pictures of geometric shapes in nature

Mathematics and music are two objective languages, which not only means you cannot lie, but everyone on earth can potentially understand you...and perhaps beyond!\n\nThe Pyramids and the Gothic cathedrals were built on the principles of Sacred Geometry...from the circle comes the tringle, square, pentagon, hexagon, etc. all fundamentals in building!\n\nSnowflakes are an example of geometry in natrue. The symetry of human & animal forms, in biology, etc...


I have an idea, but not sure please explain, I'm not 100% sure about my answer.  Thank You

Yes and No...\n\nAll Organic Compounds contain Carbon, but not all compounds containing Carbon are Organic.\n\nas quoted from my source, listed below...\n\n"An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon, with the exception of carbides, carbonates, carbon oxides and gases containing carbon.The study of organic compounds is termed organic chemistry. Many of these compounds, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (sugars), are also of prime importance in biochemistry.\n\nThe dividing line between organic and inorganic is contended and historically arbitrary; generally speaking, however, organic compounds are defined as those compounds which have carbon-hydrogen bonds, and inorganic compounds, those without. Thus carbonic acid is inorganic, whereas formic acid, the first fatty acid, is organic, although it could as well be called "carbonous acid" and its anhydride, carbon monoxide, is inorganic"

Due to slavery and 400 yr+ of oppression also the unequal treatment of blacks in America due to White supremacy and injustice.

Reparations in the United States have generally been limited to the survivors of government harm.  Watch your terminology, though - slavery was not a crime until 1865, since the government permitted slavery and only outlawed it through the Thirteenth Amendment after the Civil War.\n\nFor instance, the United States paid survivors of Japanese internment programs from WWII.  The program, however, was limited to survivors.  No survivors of slavery exist today.\n\nA current reparations program would be too bizarre to fathom.  All African-Americans were not harmed by slavery, after all, since some immigrated to America after slavery, or since some have no slave ancestors.  It would be virtually impossible to require proof of slave ancestry, and then to divide some sum proportionately.\n\nAdditionally, the vague "400 yr+ of oppression" is unhelpful in crafting legislation.  Slavery ended.  Segregation did exist also, that's ended for over 50 years now.  If you're problem with "White supremacy and injustice," then I'm afraid that no amount of money will solve the problem.  Instead, educating future generations and winning over hearts and minds is the most effective remedy to injustice.


I think this is a fantastic movie, I'd like to know if others agree. As he falls down the well, Bruce Wayne's father asks him, "Why do we fall, son?" The recurring theme in the movie is in the answer, "so that we can learn to pick ourselves up".

I think that Batman Begins is one of the best comic book adaptations ever.  I like the fact that themes such as fear and justice are placed throughout the movie.  I also like how everything is explained like Batman's origins.  If you notice, even the old question the Joker asked in one of the other Batman movies is answered ("Where does he get all of those wonderful toys?")


Famous question, few who know the answer.

Man, of course! In King Oedipus (Sophokles), the same question is asked by the Sphynx. You have 4 legs when you are a baby (you can't walk, it's the morning of your life), then you walk on 2 legs later on, and when you are old, your third leg is the stick you lean on.


A less than majority percentage of you people voted for him - and now 30000+ Iraqi people and 2000 American soldiers have died. Does this, for you, not leave a bitter aftertaste?\n\n(I have always wondered this as I am an anti-George Bush/John Howard Australian and, where I am, it is difficult to find an American with an actual constructive answer.

There are all sorts of things not to like about GWB & Co.  In many ways the U.S. is a profoundly different place now.  It's not just the war in Iraq.  \n\nEvery week brings some new scandal, some new corruption on the part of the administration, new lies, new cover-ups, new excuses.  For example, when I heard a couple of days ago that Bush authorized wiretaps without warrants, my first thought was "of course he did."  I thought that because that is simply how he and his administration operate.  Of course they want to imprison people indefinetly without trial or even charges.  Of course they want to use torture and abuse.  Of course they have secret prisons around the world.  The time when anything about Bush could surprise me is long gone.\n\nBut the amazing thing his how much support he continues to enjoy.  Even at his lowest polls gave him close to 40 percent support.  So if you want to be really depressed, remember how disgusting, how reprehensible, how incompetent Bush is, and then realize that 40 percent of Americans approve of him.\n\nBitter aftertaste?  I would have to say that things are actually much worse here than you imagine.  In addition to Bush we have a right-wing propaganda empire.  We're increasingly overrun with fundamentalist and right-wing "Christians" who hold more and more power and influence, and who are in bed with the political right wing.  Meanwhile our supposedly "liberal" press is off covering Michael Jackson and Paris Hilton.\n\nSo it's worse than you think, and it's not going to get better any time soon.  Sorry about that.  I didn't vote for the son of a bitch, and anyone who did deserves him.

i have zoominternet.net on my in and out what do i put????????? is it mail.zoomnetinternet.net i tried this it didnt work help please

POP3 is your incoming mail server, the one that transfers your mail to you.  SMTP is the outgoing server that transfers your mail out to other users.  The names may be the same, or they may be different from each other.  mail.zoomnetinternet.net is likely at least the POP3 server.  Just be sure you have it spelled correctly.\n\nI tried to find your ISP on the web and couldn't.  Their site should be able to give you some help on this.  Sorry I couldn't offer more.


Can short-strain proteins that have catalytic properties form from the amino acids? Can such very simple proteins catalyze the production of more complex and stable ones that in turn might produce RNA? Is there some other possible mechanism? I've read the RNA world article on Wikipedia, but it doesn't provide an insight to this very fundamental question which might explain the origin of life.

maybe take a different approach and look at how a simple chain can be formed from nothing. what are the odds of that happening. take a spin on the WWW to find out.


i dis agree i don't think that kids should have to wear uniforms.what do you think????

I agree. It add the discipline to the kids, add a sense of united and eliminated the difference between kids. It also make you look good, feel good and feel young.\nBesides, if the uniform is cute/cool, doesn't it make a good memories when you're older?


-I go to a public school\n-Major in Difficult Engineering Program: Electrical/Computer/Pre-Med\n-A few years of research experience\n-Have had a part time job all through school\n-Technology consultant for 2 companies\n-Lots of industry experience: co-op/internship/independent\n-Everything is where it needs to be except for my GPA due to engineering major.\n-My science GPA is higher than my standard GPA\n-Founder of Non-Profit organ donation chapter\n-Decent amount of volunteer hours\n-Plenty of MD shadowing experience\n\n-Current Known Options: Special Masters Program, Masters, Pre-Med Post-Bacc...

I know they look at the MCAT the hardest. Then they look at your science GPA. I have been told many times a 3.0 GPA will get you into med school. You of course need to take alot of sciences (biology, gen chem, organic chem, and biochem, physics) to prepare for the MCAT. \n\nI am currently in my junior year at UAB (university of alabama at birmingham) and am taking the MCAT in 2006 after I finish with my last physics semester in Spring 06. My GPA is 3.4 and have had 2 years of MD (CP200) shadowing from Burn Unit, STICU, ER and OR. I also have a big family history of physicians. Also its not a bad idea to shadow a MD who is actually on the board of the med school you are applying to. Also the interview is one of the most crucial parts. Don't have a interview and say you are doing it for the $$$. Medical school is not about book knowledge. It's about being able to work in a group and working with all kinds of patients. You will never be able to learn everything, it's all experience. I want to go into Neurosurgery or Cardiothoracic surgery. I need to go into 4 years of college, 4 years of med school, and then 3 years of specializing. You still will not know everything there is, and the only way you can learn is by having years of experience. I have heard that it takes of 10 years just for neurosurgeons to experienced enough to be experts in their field. This is why most of the good physicians are pretty old. EXPERIENCE!\n\nAlso, do not limit yourself to one or two med schools. Apply to every med school you know. You never know when a school decides to give someone a break and try them out. Good luck.\n\nI hope this helped you.


I finally got my own business rolling, and I feel that my friends (mostly from college, which was several years ago) are quietly upset that I've done something they would never have the guts to do.\n\nI know that sounds awful, but when we talk, email, or IM anymore the conversations seem to be shorter and sometimes meaner.\n\nI'd love to know what other people think on this subject.  I've been very surprised how much a small business changes people's attitudes toward you.  And I'm particularly surprised how many genuine, good, long-time friends just can't handle it.\n\nWhat's up with that?\n\nOr am I just paranoid?

well it can be two things.\n1) in order to become successful at your business you've spent all your time invested in getting it running which means you haven't been hanging out with your friends as much.  It may have started with them asking if you want to go out, and you always say no so the eventually stopped asking.\n\n2) They are jealous of your success in which case i think if you care about them, never flaunt your success in their faces, don't pull up in a BMW, don't dress in expensive clothes around them.  But in reality if they can't be happy for your success they aren't good friends anyway are they.


This guy really likes me and wants to date me but I don't think he is mature emotionally for me. He can't comfide in me, can't express his feelings. How do I tell him he needs to realise that he's the one 'wearing the pants' and not me?

You have to ask yourself if you think he may be worth the effort of finding out just what his deal is. It might be like some of the others said and he may just be shy or nervous.  If you really like him step up and take charge, ask him out. If isnt worth a little effort then dont put in the effort. It's totally up to you.  Then again you could just tell him that if he wants a chance with you at all he is just gonna have to prove to you that he wants one.

I've heard in various places that the Space Cadets reality TV show on Channel 4 in the UK is actually performed entirely by actors, notably on Radio 1 yesterday morning.\n\nThe show openly admits there are some actors there, but I find it hard to believe that none of them are genuine.  The premise of the show is a group of people are told they are being sent to space, and placed in an incredibly realistic simulator for 5 days.  The claims against it state the whole programme is a trick on the viewing public...any ideas guys?\n\nFind out more about the show at http://www.Channel4.co.uk/SpaceCadets

There was an article by one of the programme producers in The Guardian recently, which included his admission that they planted some people, but also explained the selection criteria for the victims.\n\nYou could argue the article itself could be part of the hoax on us, but I think a national newspaper would be careful to avoid getting egg on their faces by being sucked into it like that, particularly given the controversy about the programme. In addition, the tone of the article was too convincing to my mind - the sense of the producer's pride in pulling it off, amusement and mischief rang true.


booting -a process related to computer system

"Booting" a computer usually means to restart the operating system.  This originally came from the term "bootstrap loader", which was the software that allowed a computer to start up when its power was turned on.\n\nThe second link below will take you to a website that explains it as the Bootstrap Paradox: "...how can you get a program into the computer without a program already inside the computer to load it? It's like lifting yourself by your own bootstraps. Bootstrap Paradox!"

The Orthodox Christian civilization began around AD 680 and survives today in Turkey and Eastern Europe. What alphabet was developed by these people?

Sometime during the 10th century AD a new alphabet appeared which was known as Cyrillic and named after St Cyril. It was possibly invented by St Kliment of Ohrid, a missionary in Bulgaria. The Cyrillic alphabet was used to write the Old Church Slavonic language and was later adapated to write many other languages.
