Now that Doug Mirabelli is officially gone. Who do you think will catch Tim Wakefield knuckleball?

My best guess will be John Flaherty\n\nThere are three potential choices on the roster in Ken Huckaby, John Flaherty, and Josh Bard.\n\nKen Huckaby is, quite likely, the best defensive catcher of the three. He has a very good SB Caught percentage, and there has to be a reason he has stayed around as long as he has. However, he has some problems. Namely, he is a horrific hitter. The best hit he ever had was when he hurt Derek Jeter (not in a good way, but contact wise). Seriously, if he gets 120-150 plate appearences, he will hurt this team severely at the plate. \n\nJosh Bard is the second choice. He's far younger (28) then Huckaby (35) or Flaherty (38). He was received in trade from the Indians in the Crisp/Marte swap. Like Varitek, he's a switch-hitter, but he isn't nearly as competent in hitting as Flaherty. He's cheap, and I'm guessing he's not out of options, so they could send him to Pawtucket.\n\nFlaherty really has nothing over Bard. He's older (well, that may not be bad for a backup), he isn't as good defensively or offensively, and the Yankees wouldn't even take him as a backup.\n\nWhy do I say Flaherty then? They signed him to a deal, either 650k or 850k, and I don't think they'll waste that in AAA if Flaherty competes with the other two.\n\nThis is all assuming they don't use Tek there. I don't think they will, he plate is already full enough, and he took a sharp decline in September even when he got every 5th game off. Making him play every game would simply hurt him too much.


I make $50k a year now, and I incurred $50k in student loan debt along with another $50k in credit cards...  I stopped paying my cards about 19 months ago, collection agencies call my mother, grandparents, and work.. Never my cell phone though, that is my only phone.  I am wondering if I am risking having my wages garnished?  I work for local government, I heard that Federal employees are less likely to have wages garnished , due to red-tape and admistrative expenses.  Would this hold true for a County employee?  I am not sure what method would be the best for me to clear up my debt.   I want to buy a house before I am 30, I am currently 25.   Any suggestions are welcomed, thanks!

Pay your debt -  You got your education and it wasn't the loan companies & credit cards responsibility to put you through college. It wasn't a scholarship - it was LOANS.  Now that you got your education you are making good money.  Pay that debt off.  it will take you years to do so - but do it.  Be a person of good character.  \n\nPay off as much of the credit card balances as you can and focus on the college loans as well.  You will do it.  I am serious in saying it will take you probably over 10 years to do so - but you CAN do it.  \n\nNegotiate with them on an amount you can realistically pay each month.  DON'T go out and furnish your home and start living "high on the hog" just because you are out of college making some money now.  You are an adult and should act like one.  Pay the debt - it's yours - and it's only right.


I have a pc and my friend has an apple is there a im service that will let us talk and webcam?


ok im from ireland. im about to do a diploma. its a trade so i could work anywhere. if i was to go to america and move around and work and live there for a few months (or if i like it, live there for longer) how would i do it? im 17.

You'd do a trial run in US of course, but make sure that you're prepared. Have enough support (financially, and having a backup person) to get you through your stay here. Before you cross the pond, research on your trade in US cities to get an idea on where it is more in demand, how much they pay, if you'd need US certifications, companies that might sponsor you etc. etc.\nYou're still young, invest your time in education, trade that will make you a "Catch", and not the other way around. Good luck!!


I want to know about the different API functions in window.\nwhere can be used, or about a book for it.\n  how can I get the information about the different processes

If shopkeeper arrranges oranges in row of 3 or 5 or 7 or 9  than 1 orange is left but if arranges in row of 11 none left than find no of oranges\n\nClue : I think its not needed

The problem asks for:\na natural number n wich: n = k*3+1, n=q*5+1, n=r*7+1, n=p*9+1, n=m*11. => n = cM(3,5,7,9)+1 and 11 divides n. (cM(3,5,7,9) = a common multiple of 3,5,7,9). \nYou take the less cM(3,5,7,9) of all, wich is 945, add 1, and you find out that 11 divides it.\nAnswer is:\n\n-- 946 --

The Chinese have been using chopsticks for more than a millenium but no one seems to know the origins.

Chopsticks are an important part of Asian culture. Their popularity and widespread use across Asia have a long and rich history. They come in all shapes and forms, from golden chopsticks engraved with calligraphy to disposable bamboo wari-bashi. Regardless of the form they take, chopsticks have evolved into an important icon of Asian culture and an important part of history. \n\nIt is believed the first chopsticks were developed over 5000 years ago in China. Early Asian man would retrieve his food from the fire using sticks or branches broken from trees. Later, as the population grew and resources became scarce, people would cut food into smaller pieces to save fuel because the smaller portions cooked faster. This eliminated the need for knives, and chopsticks became the utensil of choice. \n\nThe onset of Confucianism is believed to have further cemented the use of chopsticks as the primary Asian eating utensil. Confucius taught, “The honorable and upright man keeps well away from both the slaughterhouse and the kitchen. And he allows no knives on his table.” Confucius’ disdain for the presence of knives at the kitchen table, coupled with the popularity of his teachings no doubt contributed to the expanding use of chopsticks among the population. \n\nBy 500 A.D., chopsticks had spread from China to other countries such as Korea, Vietnam and Japan. While initially only used for religious ceremonies in Japan, chopsticks quickly gained popularity there as well, and their use became as widespread as the rest of Asia in no time. \n\nChopsticks come in many different forms. Bamboo tends to be the most popular material to make them from. There is lots of it in Asia, it is easy to split and it is especially resistant to heat. Other popular materials were wood and bone, and chopsticks made of precious metals were not uncommon among the wealthy. It was believed that silver chopsticks would turn black upon contact with poisoned food, although this has since been disproved. \n\nChinese chopsticks are called Kuai-Zi, which means “quick little fellows”. They are typically 9 to 10 inches long, rectangular in shape, with blunt ends. Japanese chopsticks originally resembled tweezers made from bamboo, with the two pieces joined together at one end. By the 10th century they became two separate pieces. They are slightly shorter than their Chinese counterparts (7 to 8 inches long), are typically rounded and taper to a point. \n\nIt has been said by using chopsticks it improves memory, increases finger dexterity and can be useful in learning and improving skills such as Chinese character printing and brush painting. Many Asian superstitions revolve around chopsticks as well. For example, if you find an uneven pair at your table seating, it is believed that you will miss the next train, boat or plane you are trying to catch. Also, dropping your chopsticks is a sign of bad luck to come.

i m asking interm of memory managment or segmentation

I am not sure if I got your question correctly but here is my try.\nOffset means distance. An offset in terms of memory segements is also the distance (in terms of number of bytes) from some base address.\n\nAn example may be: Your code segments begin at address 0x00467834. So the address at offset 1200 will be 0x00467834 + 0x00001200 = 0x00468A34.\nOr you can also say that the address 0x00468A34 is at an offset 0x1200 from the start of code segment.

I am wondering because I'm looking to buy ski's and i can't remember what size the rental place said i was...

Start with your height in centimeters, which is 163 cm.\nThe skis should be at least 20 cm longer than your height, and then you should make them still longer as your skiing skill increases and you want to tackle harder trails.\n\nSo 185 is about right to start, or go to 195 if you are intermediate.

Hi, I think that a virus has got into your pc and corrupted system files, I would suggest that you back-up your data and reboot the system. That should solve the problem, the other idea is to scan your hard drive for errors with check disk.

Are you asking what PCr level is the upper limit of being able to prescribe ACE inhibitors safely, or are you asking what the normal PCr value is for someone on an ACE inhibitor? \n\nFrom what I understand, patients who have a plasma creatinine level greater than 2.9 mg/dl should not be prescribed ACE inhibitors. If a patient is already taking ACE inhibitors, his/her plasma creatinine should not increase more than 0.3-0.5 mg/dl. Any large increases are definitely a sign of something else going on (volume depletion, heart failure, upstream blockage), since large PCr increases cannot be explained by the physiological effects of ACE inhibitor use alone.

You probably will not like this answer, but unfortunately it is true. Troy-Bilt was acquired by another company, MTD, at least a year (or two) ago. Unlike Troy-Bilt, which makes (made) fabulous yard products (I have a roto-tiller and a mulching mower), MTD products are quite inferior. Calling the Tro-Bilt 800 number now brings you to the MTD people, who are less than helpful. Too bad. But if you need a part, call anyway. Their web URL is http://www.troybilt.com/


Every time I tell someone that I listen to heavy metal I get stereotyped as a loser or worse. What is with that? I am a college educated woman with a professional career. I know, a woman who likes heavy metal, but that is a different subject altogether. What is up with the stereotyping?

No one's a loser for listening to what they like. I dislike country music and reggae, but I bear no ill will to those who like the stuff. "To each his/her own."\n\nThe people who come up with these stereotypes are the losers.

I've been looking at laptops for my wife.  Mostly she wants to use it for internet and her small home sales business.  However, she also wants to play Sims 2 on it which complicates it since it will need a decent video card.  I don't claim to be well versed in the best kinds of video cards available for laptops, I just want to know if there are some laptops that are fairly cheap that will run the game.  Thanks for any advice.

From About.com:\n\nMaxis has released information on the system requirements for "The Sims 2." If you have a T&L (info about what T&L is below) capable video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM (such as nvidia GeForce 2 or better or ATI Radeon 7000 or better) then you need at least:\n\n    * 800 MHz processor\n    * 256 MB RAM if Windows XP\n    * 128 MB RAM if Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows 2000\n    * At least 3.5 gigs of free hard drive space \n\nIf you have a non-T&L capable video card (such as TNT2, Intel, or Rage for example) then you need at least:\n\n    * 2.0 GHz processor\n    * 256 MB RAM if Windows XP\n    * 128 MB RAM if Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows 2000\n    * At least 3.5 gigs of free hard drive space \n\nRecommened video cards (and the more video memory the better):\n\n    * ATI Radeon 9800 Pro\n    * Nvidia Geforce 4\n    * Visit "The Sims 2" official website for a more detailed list. \n\nYou can also download the system requirements test from ServoPro to see if your computer is ready for "The Sims 2."\n\nFrom TheSims.com:\n\nFrom the nVidia website's glossary Transform & Lighting (T&L) definition: Two separate engines on the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) that provide for a powerful, balanced PC platform and enable extremely high polygon count scenes. Transform performance determines how complex objects can be and how many can appear in a scene without sacrificing frame rate. Lighting techniques add to a scene's realism by changing the appearance of objects based on light sources.\n\nSome other notes about video cards: T&L video cards started shipping around 3 years ago, so if you got your computer in the last couple of years you should check and see if you have a T&L card.\n\nIt's always a good idea to make sure you have the most current drivers for your video cards. The manufacturers usually have the video drivers on their sites for you to download. Visit the nVidia site or the ATI for the latest drivers for those video cards.\n\n\nSince most cards support T&L, Dell has the Inspiron E1505 on their site...one of the cheapest ones that will run the game costs under 800 dollars without warranty...of course the graphics card is not the best in the world; however, it is decent for lower graphic games (Intel Accelerator 950 128mb)\n\nObviously, there are many computers out there now for under 1000 that will play the game....actually, if you buy used computers, many laptops made within the last two-three years will  play the game just fine

i have under gone thyroid surgery.my 2 lobes had been taken.in biopsy it had been diagonised as follicular carcenoma.is follicular carcenoma falls under two category that is benign and malignancy.

Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is a well-differentiated tumor. In fact, FTC resembles the normal microscopic pattern of the thyroid. FTC originates in follicular cells and is the second most common cancer of the thyroid after papillary carcinoma. \n\nPapillary/follicular carcinoma must be considered a variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (mixed form), and Hürthle cell carcinoma should be considered a variant of FTC. \n\nAs with most tumors, the cause of thyroid cancers is unknown; however, thyroid cancers are well known to be found more often in patients with a history of low-dose or high-dose external irradiation (40-50 gray [Gy]). Despite its well-differentiated characteristics, follicular carcinoma may be overtly or minimally invasive. In fact, FTC tumors may spread easily to other organs. Life expectancy of affected patients is related to their age; the prognosis is better for younger patients than for patients who are older than 45 years. Of patients with FTC, 10-15% present with lung and bone metastases. In patients with bone metastases, distinguishing that condition from scurvy, osteoporosis, and primary bone tumors may be difficult.\n\nhttp://www.emedicine.com/med/topic804.htm


Jimmy Neutron, Fairly Odd Parents, Sponge Bob Square Pants, Avatar the Last Airbender, Danny Phantom, All Grown Up and Rugrats. In terms of funny, I would give it to Fairly Odd Parents. It is so hilarious. In storyline, I would give it to Avatar the Last Airbender. It has a very strong storyline and good lessons. Jimmy Neutron is mostly the same storyline: invent something, something goes wrong, save the day. For most corny, I would give it to Sponge Bob Square Pants. I don't really like Danny Phantom. It is kind of boring and mostly the same storyline. All in all, these cartoons have good theme songs. My favorite cartoons are Fairly Odd Parents and Sponge Bob Square Pants. What are your own awards and why?

He worked with electrolysis throughout his life and also discovered/isolated magnesium, strontium and barium.


Why? Is it the act? The intimacy? The taste? Please try and explain. Thank you!

Yes!

It is found in Yahoo Anti-Spy as CasClient and in my add/remove programs list, I think it is Internet Explorer - Intelligent Explorer.

Please help I only have norton 2004 on my (work) computer and need to figure out how to get this off. Thank you:)

Spyware removal programs sometimes can't remove spyware at the same time the program is running.  To make it so that the program isn't running while you're running your anti-spyware program, start the computer in Safe Mode.  You can do this using the Configuration Utility in XP or by holding down F8 at  startup, as I recall.  After you've started in Safe Mode (don't worry, things will look weird, but your computer's fine) run the anti-spyware program again.\n\nI prefer Spybot S&D over all other anti-spyware programs.

Therefore, they are typically encased in crash-resistant steel or titanium boxes that are subjected to rigorous testing. One of the tests is an impact shock test, in which the box must survive being thrown at high speeds against a barrier. A 41 kg box is thrown at a speed of 230 m/s and is brought to a halt in a collision that lasts for a time of 7.2 ms. What is the magnitude of the average net force that acts on the box during colision?\n\n\n\n\n\nA 370-kg sailboat has an acceleration of 0.77 m/s2 at an angle of 48° north of east. Find the magnitude and direction of the net force that acts on the sailboat.

WTF I dont know i feel asleep in that class that day


since graphics have advanced to the point its hard to tell.

It already has... I've seen numerous picture forgeries being passed around as spam for quite awhile.  The worth1000 pictures are a frequent offender probably because some of them are so well done.\n\nIf you go to snopes (a hoax buster website) you will find numerous pictures from worth1000 throughout the site.  One that had a big impact was a picture of bush holding a book upside down, snopes said it was edited but I still thought it was hillarious :-)  They had the original and the altered photo side-by-side.\n\nI could spend days going through the contest archives on worth1000, take a peak you'll enjoy it.  :-)


How do you know that the person you're with is meant for you? Trust is a major factor in our relationsip. It's what you get when you stick too playas (not the most faithful girlzs) together. Yeah, we say we love each other. When push comes to shove we dont always trust each other. We think about each other constantly. I tell her that I've changed that I'm not like that anymore. I dont know if she believes me. What can I do? Is this meant to work out? Or am I just fooling myself?

There's gonna be an element of obsession in real love. You know it's the real thing when you find yourself putting the other first consistently. You pretty much lose interest in activities that don't include them. You'll be telling your buds "That sounds great. Let me give (  ) a call and I'll get back to you!"\n   Obsession is different. You won't have the same changes. You'll still be wondering all the time, where are they, who are they with, what are they doing? But you won't find your lifestyle changing (unconsciously) to become the one in that picture.\n    Trust is another matter altogether. There must be respect, integrity and empathy first. Knowledge grows from communication. With both having the history you describe this is going to take a lot of work and time. Relationships are a lot like gardens. They require constant attention and effort, need nourishment, light and water(communication).\n\nIn the end you will simply need faith. In yourself, in your other and in the Maker of all. You will find the two of you cleaving together in adversity and in joy. Neither of you will have any higher priority than the other's well being. Yes, even to the point of laying down your lives to protect each other. By the way, prayers are answered every day.\n\nThe greatest gift we can bestow is our time.


WLAN mobiles will connect to internet directly at hotspot area?

802.11n is a newer standard of WiFi LAN, or wireless local area network technology, subsequent to standards 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g. Its proper name is IEEE 802.11n, as it is a protocol developed by the international non-profit Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The number “11” indicates the IEEE working group assigned to 802 standards, and the “n” refers to a special task group within this body, known as TGn.\n\nThe IEEE 802.11n standard is scheduled to be reviewed by TGn in November 2005 and should debut in the marketplace sometime in mid-2006. It will reportedly offer quadruple the data transfer rates of the current fastest WiFi technology. It will also operate on the 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) band, like 802.11b and 802.11g. This frequency does not require line-of-sight availability like 802.11a, which works in the regulated 5 GHz band. \n\nTo get an actual idea of the speeds expected in megabits per second (mbps), see the table below which compares the different 802.11 standards:\n\n802.11b 2.4 GHz 5-11 mbps \n802.11g 2.4 GHz 25-54 mbps \n802.11a 5.0 GHz 25-54 mbps \n802.11n 2.4 GHz 100-200+ mbps \n\nIEEE expects a smooth transition to the 802.11n standard with backwards compatibility built into new equipment, allowing consumers and businesses to upgrade network equipment gradually. The faster speeds will allow more robust applications to be effectively run over public hotspots and private LANs, and greater range is also projected.\n\nLike previous advanced WiFi standards, 802.11n will utilize multiple receivers and transmitters, a technology known as MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output). This allows parallel streams of data transmissions, or spatial multiplexing. The 802.11n standard will also incorporate OFDM, or orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing. OFDM splits signal frequencies up into several modulated channels for increased throughput. Aside from private and commercial LANs, 802.11n is expected to support an array of personal electronics including handheld devices. \n\nIf you are considering installing a wireless network in the near future, you might be interested in following the progress of 802.11n to see when it will hit the market. If so, you can track its status at the IEEE website.

I am unable to understand , when I will receive information in a form , how will I store those information in my database file.Please guide me.Th e project contain few pages for uploading picture and to receive details of the user.After receiving there response, sending them their user id and password.

You didn't mentioned, which web server and progamming platform you are using. There are lots of way to connect form with databases, depending on platform we need to use coding. Mostly used combination \n1. ASP or ASP.net + MS SQL or Ms Access database\n2. PHP + MySql\n3. Java Servlet + with a database\n4. ColdFusion etc


Do you think www.myspace.com is a bad site? personaly i think so because of the news and there this 10yr old who's on it constanly at the local library. Can www.myspace.com be harmful to anyone UNDER 18?

I am very much anti-myspace.  I think it is a complete waste of time, and really just a way to advertise yourself and make new pseudo-friends.  I also agree that it is potentially dangerous hunting grounds for online predators, but the site doesn't allow anybody who claims to be under 16 to post a profile.  Too many of my peers use myspace constantly.  Also, a note to all you parents of teens out there, if you want to find out if your kid is misbehaving, look no further than there myspace profile.  Despite anybody being able to view their profile, many of my classmates post pictures of themselves with booze, scantily clad girlfriends, etc.

Sometimes when I'm using the muscles in my hand they will shake slightly, never that noticable to anyone but me, but I wonder if I should see a doctor about this? Also, what possibly could cause this?

Definitely see your family physican.  It could be many things, palsy, Parkinson's, Chorea, stroke, injured muscle, etc.  Your doctor can run the necessary tests to diagnosis the condition.

Describe it in detail. Was it in color or black and white? Was it first person or were you watching it like a movie? Was it reoccuring? etc..

I had a series of 3 dreams that were months apart, but all took place at the same location (in dream sense, not physical location of my body)...  The first was a wedding, MY wedding, though I've never been married, and I was unsure of which person I was, the bride or groom... couldn't see any faces except the priestess's face...\n\n2nd dream in the series...  a funeral... MY funeral... closed casket, but I KNEW it was me, you know how dreams can be like that...  roughly 40 people, all faces a blur except for the priestess again... same one...\n\n3rd dream in the series...  began with me walking through a museum... dark, nearly too dark to see, but you could make out displays and whatnot, but I was compelled to just go past them down a long hallway, a few stairs here and there usualy in groups of 2 or 3... at the end was a door with light coming from the cracks... it was the same temple where my wedding and funeral took place... EMPTY except for my casket, the priestess, and the regular trappings of a funeral... as if nothing had changed since the people left...  EVERYTHING covered in a thick layer of dust, even the fresh flowers were covered in dust, yet not even remotely wilted... EXCEPT for the 2 wedding rings, they didn't have even a speck of dust on them... my spouce's right next to my casket, and mine about 10 feet away, closer to the area where an alter would be expected... I asked the priestess through mind speach if these visions meant what I thought they meant...  She just nodded... then I awoke.\n\nFrom these dreams, I leared a great many things about my life, mostly vague impressions of things to come...\n\nOne meaning that I hadn't picked up on at first was my call to shamanism...  I later read the book "the Spirit of Shamanism" by Roger N. Walsh, M.D., Ph.D. which revealed to me a common thread in shamanism is visions of death and rebirth that often come as a "call to arms" if you will.


My wife and I were wondering why Tammy Faye Bakers show is called 'The 700 Club.' Is there some biblical reference to the number 700?

"To keep the station on the air, WYAH decided to produce a special telethon edition of the show. For the telethon, Robertson set a goal of 700 members each contributing $10 a month, which was enough to support the station. Robertson referred to these members as the '700 Club' and the name stuck."

I always her women say that some other girl is cute in some way, even ones that I know are straight. Then I went to a strip club for the first time about 4 months ago and was surprized by how many women where in there getting lap dances.

Yes women complement other women, that does not state that we want the other woman it simply states that we don't mind giving a complement where it is due. The women getting lap dances were just gay, straight women don't get lap dances.

Iam in need of help with finding out as much as I can of a teen that we are now have custody of-bewteen aim and free services and finding pictures so on- but keep comming across the numbers 9008 after names-the area would be brownstown Mi

The recorded gangs in Michigan are listed here. Using 9008 with gangs seemed to always end up as numbers (fax, zipcodes and so forth). The best advice I would have to go to a local police station that has a gang unit available and just ask. \n\nGangs in Michigan: Bloods & Crips (numerous sets of each), Gangster Disciples, Latin Kings, Tiny Rascal Gangsters, Nation of Gods and Earths AKA Five Percenters, Vice Lords, Young Guns \nGangs in Prison - Latin Kings, Vice Lords, Young Guns


Deep mouth to mouth kissing: can it cause any sexually transmitted diseases?

You can transmit Herpes by kissing.  Lesions of the oral variety and in rare cases genital.  \n\nAlso, it is technically possible to have Gonoccocal and or Chlamydial pharyngitis - so if the kissing is quite deep, with serious exchange of fluids, or the bacterial load is high, transmission is possible.  \n\nAny worries - go get checked out.  Stay safe.

Currently i am using direct broadband dial-up thru modem with USB connection. In addition, I also perform Read/Write to external disks. It is troublesome and would like to know how to convert these USB connections to wireless connection. How to protect information being assessed by unauthorized users in the wireless evironment? Thanks.

1.  You need a wireless router that connects to your broadband modem.  This lets other devices (desktop and notebook computers, PDAs, music sharing devices, Tivo, etc.) connect to your network.\n\n2.  You need a wireless adapter that connects to the USB port on your computer.  This connects your computer to your network wirelessly.\n\nI've given you a link to Linksys products below.  I use them, my boss uses them and a lot of the engineers where I work use them.  They're our choice and we've had no problems.  However, Netgear and DLink are also fine choices.  You can use Yahoo or Google to search for those company web sites.\n\nSecuring your wireless network is easy.  The product documentation goes into detail on how to do this, but here are the things you need to do:\n\n1.  Change the name (SSID) of your router.\n2.  Turn off SSID broadcasting (don't let the router tell the world the new name).\n3.  Set up WPA security filtering.\n4.  Set up MAC address filtering to only accept your wireless devices (the adapter mentioned above).\n\nIt's amazing how many people don't do any of the above.  Not securing your network is an invitation to disaster.\n\nLastly, and this is important:  Write down the new name and the WPA filtering code and store them in a safe and secure place -- One you won't forget.  I have a friend that lost his and had to reset everything when he tried to add a new device (you may laugh, now).

dont be wierd or nasty ok this is a 5-7min speech and i need ideas because i dont know what to do

How to make shadow puppets.  You can find instructions on the internet.\n\nOf course, your hands are the props, but it would be good to bring a light.  Maybe there is already a slide projector or an overhead in the room.\n\nYou can also get everyone to participate by making them along with you.  You'll get an A.\n\nEven better, I once did one on how to survive an earthquake.     I talked a bit about earthquake survival, then started shaking and said, "Earthquake!" and swiftly left the room.  That got eveyone's attention.  After a few seconds, I came back in and explained the first technique is to exit the building if you won't be hit by falling debris.  As I wrapped that up, did the earthquake routine again and headed for the door, but when I got there, I braced myself in it and shook really hard.  Then I explained that bracing in the door is another way.  Then I did the pretend earthquake again and dove under a table.  The table was just the right height that I could be on all fours and press my back against the underside of the table.  So I shook real hard and the table jumped around.  Then I came out and explained that you can take cover under furniture.  Next I summarized and that was it!  It was a lot of fun.


If you've had this done before, dou you know how much roughly this could cost?

are you that self-concious (sp) about it????  I wouldn't waste the $$$$$


to cure or remedy hernia without medicine and surgery

freind there r different types of hernias which one u talking abt it ranges frm kids hernia to adults.and mostly all hernias need surgical treatment.but if the hernia is not much severe then u can control it by taking proper excercises,not lifting too much weight.but if its severe or started paining its better to consult ur doct.


my boyfreind does it every nite i think its german and very fluitly but he doesnt remember it when he wakes up

It is natural. For people who speaks multiple languages when they are at a point of extreme exaustion or delerious they will revert back to their first language (speaking the second or 3rd language etc takes more mental efforts). When they are awake and alert again then they will be able to speak whatever they want.\n\nScientists have done tests and proven the patients with dementia acts like this too.

for my english class i have to write a short story. It can be at any topce, anything like romence,drama,family story anything as long as it's good. it have to be one and half pages. If u get started with some thing i can try. thanks

I like onewhitewhiskar's answer.  She has given you some good ideas.\n\nI would suggest you keep it simple.  Sometimes if you try to make it too convoluted or put too much in there, the writing just doesn't work.  Unless you are really good at making up stuff, don't try to get into complicated plots and stories.  Write about what you know.  Write as if you are telling a story.  Think aobut how you would tell it to someone, and then write it down that way.  \n\nOk, now stop and think for a minute.  Think about some of the most interesting or funny or different things that have happened to you.  Have you gone on a special trip?  Have you visited an interesting place?  Do you have a pet that does really funny stuff?  How about your neighborhood?  Are there odd characters?  Have you been on a boat trip?  Did your grandparents do something speical or different?  Have they ever talked to you about how things were when they were your age?  What's your favorite thing to do - do you have a special hobby you can write about?  Is there  something you know a lot about that others might be interested in? \n\nYou see, people can write well about things that are very familiar to them.  I will give you a few "starter" sentences to think about, but make up one of your own if none of these work for you.\n\n"As I walked home from school last week I saw the strangest thing around the corner from my house."  \n\n"Last summer I visited ...."\n\n"Have you ever watched .... bees at their hive .... or salmom in a stream .... puppies playing .... shooting stars ... waves on the beach ..... sailboats .... the sidewalk market on Saturday .... your brother's baseball game .... someone making dinner .... fourth of July fireworks ..."\n\n"I'm really looking forward to ...."\n\n"My best friend is .... "\n\n"The most fun I ever had was when ....."\n\n"Yesterday my dog .... "\n\nSome final thoughts ... jot down some thoughts and ideas about your topic first.  Do an INternet search to see if you get some more ideas about your topic.   \nI hope this helps you think about what you might do for your writing project.


How do Caucasion and non-African American students deal with hearing about Black history or about social injustices suffered by Blacks ( such as lynching,KKK and racism) in class settings? How do you process it and feel it? How do you think African- American students feel hearing about that kind of history?

I think others may have taken a different inference from your question as if you asked "SHOULD we have black history month?" and that's not what you asked.\n\nI'm a caucasian american and I guess it's always felt funny to me that there was a need for a black history month. Why wasn't Black history included with the rest of world history? I mean now that the seperation of the races had become an antiquated notion, though still regionally practiced, couldn't we have more flushed out history books, one's that dealt with the developing history of all races?\n\nOkay well that hasn't happened, except more recent history does include more people of color. And therefore to cover the history that hasn't been covered, they add this special month of learning about things we may not learn at home or in another course at school. I for one am glad for the experience.\n\nI really couldn't say how it makes anyone else feel.\n\nThough I will say in a strange way sometimes it seems to emphasize the continued seperation between the races. We are all one humanity and the seperation is really idiotic, still it lingers. Is part of the problem that making a point of being proud of your skin color (no matter which group is doing it), tends to highlight the superficial differences between us.\nI think it would be better if the focus was on cultural history instead of skin color history.


I have a broad band connectivity @ home which gets connected automatically when my system is on. This works well in Windows 98. I dont know how to configure the TCP/IP setting for the network Connection. Can any one give me a detailed explanation for this.

The previous answer is the good one,but if you still don't understand You better call the broadband company that service you, they usualy open 24 hour for technical support, it's better to talk and do it right away cause they will guide you step by step while you're doing it.

look i have a friend of mine.  but she is sounding to sweet and sexy to me now a days i dream about her. I want to be with her i want to love her show her my feelings we talk flirtly but we wait for each other to say what it takes... may be the way i feel she would also be feeling may be if i say it...she feels it diferent and we may not talk as we are, we are going happy but may be that wreck all the hardwork that i have put into it to bring her to this stage to talk to me like that... so all u experienced out there give me some advice will she go for it or she aint... but our religion differs ...so what u say is that religion that would be the main cause for us not to relate....

Just go for it, while you are sitting there one day, just lean over and kiss her.  \n\nThe best relationships can come out of friendships.\n\nReligion can be worked out.  Just agree to disagree and respect each other.


i like this boy and he like me but he is still in love with his ex girlfriend.i don't what to do about it.

Never go for someone who is still holding on to an ex. Now, don't get me wrong...there are times when I still think about my ex's, but it doesn't mean I'm still in love with them, but we did share something that's undeniable. I gave them a piece of my heart, and you can't really take that back. So, if he's still in love, you need to give him time to find closure, but if he just thinks about her once in a blue moon, it's okay to go for it, help him get his mind off of her.


does anyone know how to prevent throwing up. \n\nwhat can i do, or take to prevent it or to ease the pain...

Ginger helps with nausea,peppermint oil caps help with stomach pain.Fennel helps with bloating and gas.Stick to an easy to digest diet consiting of blended vegetable soups and smoothies until you are feeling better.There are many digestive preperations and homeopathic medicines at your local health food store to help with stomach problems.Take a digestive enzyme with meals for a while as well.Slippery elm is also a soothing aid to the stomach,as is Papaya and Pineapple as they contain natural enzymes that help.Good luck!


my parent  is somtimes  mad  at  me so  how  can   I  stop  that

parents usually get mad when their kids fail to follow rules or do what is expected of them .Parents don't tell their kids to do things just for the heck of it. They want their children to learn some responsibilty so that they can make right choices in life. Your parents are only concerned about you and your well being. they want what is best for you. Try not to lie, if you are caught doing something wrong, admit to it. It is a very mature move, believe me, and after you admit to what you did wrong, apologize. You can also talk to your parents about your goals and let them know that you need them to help you fulfill your goals.Parents like to be needed by their children, I think that is the scariest part for parents when kids grow up, the thought that their kid doesn't need them anymore.

Any kind of movies as long as they explain what is kind of going on in the one that is sick life.

there are three that i can remember: dying young with julia roberts.  it's more of a love story though.  then there is one called time for dancing.  it is about two best friends who grew up and shared their love for dancing.  one of the girls who is played by larisa oleynik gets terminal cancer.  it shows her trials and struggles with it and what she will have to sacrifice for her love of dance.  it is such a great movie.  it will make you cry.  i can't remember the movie title, but anna chlumsky from my girl played a teenager who finds out she has cancer in her leg.  they have to amputate.  the cancer is so severe that it has spread through her body.  it is based on a true story.  bill clinton makes a guest appearance and it talks about make a wish foundation too.

A tall aggressive left-hand opener, Smith had few leadership credentials - and barely a handful of internationals under his belt - but for a nation eager for a fresh start after the disasters of the Hansie Cronje affair, Smith was clearly made of the right stuff. The selectors' faith was amply justified on South Africa's tour of England in 2003, when Smith scored back-to-back Test double-centuries - a national-record 277 at Edgbaston, and a match-winning 259 at Lord's - to put his side in firm command of the five-Test series. Smith had quickly settled in at the highest level, right from the moment he took Matthew Hayden's invective on the chin to score a battling half-century on his Test debut. Until his appointment, Smith's career had been hampered to a certain degree by South Africa's controversial quota system. His Test debut was delayed when Ashwell Prince was selected for the first Test against Australia in 2001-02, and he also missed out on original selection for the 2003 World Cup, although he later joined the squad when Jonty Rhodes cracked a finger. \n\nSmith woke up to the harsh life of international cricket with a jolt in 2004. Reality bit fiercest on the subcontinent, where a declining South African side lost Test series to India and Sri Lanka. There was also a run of 11 defeats in 12 one-day internationals, the start of an ultimately fruitless struggle with England, and personal humiliation after some wily mind games from Stephen Fleming in Auckland. Yet for the most part, Smi


It's hard, but I just try to accept her, anyway if I don't like her at all I refuse to spend time trying to change my feeling.

I would like to know the animal predators of the entire Langurs species.

The big cats are the only predators of Langurs, especially the tigers.Being arborial they can outwit many enimies, but tigers can take them by surprise.


I am taking a survey at my school please answer but dont put down any bullcrap just answer the question!

Smarter than what? For what reason? \nBoth species are obviously bright enough to have survived being considered delicious morsels of food by a good many predators in the wild. They have survived aeons unencumbered by the need to spell or get answers to polls, so how much smarter can an animal get?


In referring to mate, I mean your husband or wife, or boyfriend or girlfriend (no gays, please,I don't want to puke)

My other 1/2 is a workaholic, reliable, & frugal.\n\nI guess I would have to say a Ford F250 van.


I am riding with Detroit and San Antonio again or maybe even Miama!

Detroit and San Antonio, or Detroit and Dallas, depending on the health of Tim Duncan's foot.  \nMiami will never beat Detroit in a seven-game series, they barely beat them once at home thanks to Dwayne Wade carrying them.


i need an answer within 24 hours about the causes and effects of battered wife

Here are some websites that should help you.  The issue is a very complex one, and a serious problem in our society.  Battered women often believe that the violence is their fault.  \n\nThere are many perspectives on the issue.  Battered wife syndrome has been effectively used as a defence in murder cases leading to reduced sentences.\n\nYOu really need to do some reading to get the whole picture.  I have attached several websites that should help you.


i have a flat stomache and an outline of a six pack but its not really defined. what is a good way to make them more visable?

The only way is to lower your body fat. You can do 1000 crunches a day, and that will not help if you still have the fat there. Generally, get your body fat into the single digits.


and the Sabbath ends on Sunday evenings, Tell me the truth!

God gave us one day per week to rest and spend time with Him. It is the last day of the week which is Saturday on our calender. On Good Friday we remember the crucifixion, \nhis side was pierced so they could take him down from the cross because the next day was the Sabbath. Then He rose on Sunday and we celebrate new life and a new week.\nFor me it's Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.


Where can I get a graph of daily maximum solar altitude for a given location spanning one year? (e.g. I want January 1st max solar altitude = 45.0 degrees, January 2nd = 45.2 degrees....December 31st)

The University of Oregon has a javascipt application online that will allow you to make your graph from a web browser interface:\nhttp://solardat.uoregon.edu/SunChartProgram.html\n\nThe chart comes out as PDF or PNG format. \n\nHere's some other freeware tools you might want to use:\nhttp://www.builditsolar.com/Tools/tools.htm


To me it just seems like there are alot of internet ganstas out there talkin loud and making comments they know they cant back up .Me I dont say things i know I wont get away with in real life

Over the internet we have the option of being anonymous.  There are some people who are afraid of life's answers.  I do not intentionally hurt people.  But I do speak my mind, even in person.


If it is, why?  I couldn't determine it by the solubility rules, so I'm stuck.

Because it has a monocharge (e.g. compared to a zwitterion), I would expect it to be soluble in water because the water molecules could solvate it by orientated the partial positive hydrogens around it. A non-polar solvent would not have this ability.


I have to do a report for school on Voltaire, a promonent figure in the English enlightenment. I was easly able to find background information but I have to tell how the ideas of Voltaire resulted in specific historical events. I was not able to find this information and need help, so if anyknows a site pelase tell. Also it would be best if I was able to get a link becosue that would make it easest for the bibliography.

Voltaire (1694-1778) given name Francois Marie Arouet\n\nMajor Points\n\n1. He attacked superstition, religious fanaticism and persecution, censorship, and other abuses of eighteenth-century French society.\n\n2. His anger was directed against established Christianity the cause he felt of the       many ills of modern society.   \n\n3. He believed we should all be tolerant of one another but that the Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.  Intolerance produces only hypocrites or rebels.\n “…Tolerance has never brought civil war; intolerance has covered the earth with carnage…” \n\n4. The dogmas are not something he understands and feels no one ever has  which is why we have slaughtered one another.\n\n5. A fanatic is one who reinforces his madness by murder.\n    “Once fanaticism has infected a brain, the disease is almost incurable.” \n\n 6. A persecutor is one who accuses an innocent person of something.\n\n7. Voltaire felt superstition (witchcraft) and the torture and death of the accused witches to be wrong.\n\n8. He seems to imply that war is totally irrational and immoral and we should try to avoid war.


Can a 13 year older like or talk a 18 year older as boyfriend and girtfriend relationship?

I'm sorry but thats really not safe or health. There is so much mental and pysical development going on between 13 and 18, its not safe for you or for him. If you two end up having sex (which you deffinetly shouldnt be doing if youre 13) then he could be arrested for statuary rape, even if you were willing. Please, do me a personal favor and find a nice hot guy your age! Good luck!

Sodium and potassium ion channels open and close to mediate the signal.  There is a higher concentration of sodium outside the cell than inside and a higher concentration of potassium inside than outside.  Because of the size of the ions and the structure of their respective channels, Na+ diffuses across the membrane faster than K+.  The result is that the membrane potential starts at -70 mV, spikes at 40 mV as the Na+ ions pass the membrane, dips below -70 mV (to about -80 mV) when the Na+ channels close and the K+ channels open, and then normalizes back to -70 mV.  These ions are replenished by what you eat and drink-- those Gatorade commercials are telling the truth!  When you can't move your muscles anymore, your nerves might be out of electrolytes.  The whole system is kept at the necessary potentials with ion pumps in the nerve cell.


what are the postive and negative effects/ influences of sports to the american youth, detailed explanation and why is it bad or good?

There's still more good than bad.\n\nI think sports helps kids improve their physical skills, helps them understand teamwork and competition, and being dependable and responsible to your peers.  Additionally, the academic obligations of maintaining a minimum grade standard is powerful motivator.\n\nOn the downside, the almost opressive influence of professional athletes can contribute to a lot of similar behaviors.  There can be far too much emphasis on personal achivement.  Not suprisingly to me, most of that originates from parents.


My brother is 40, drug treatment 3x, most recent two years ago.  He smokes.  He has been turned down by people who claim to be able to insure anyone.  Where can he go to get basic life insurance?

This can be tough. I work for one of the big insurance companies and in cases I have seen in the past where there was drug use, we were usually able to get coverage, however, at a higher cost. He may get standard(normal) rates but will have to pay a special ratings class charge for the first five years. It is usually an additional cost per thousand. If he is declined just find out how many years he would have to wait before they would consider him. If never, then he will have wait until he is 50 and he get a guaranteed issue policy from Gerber Life or Farmers and Traders or one of them. I think its age 50, not positive.


The child is now 17 years old and the father has not talked to him for almost a year. The child stays in his room most of the day and has a part time job. The father lives in the home. The mother helps the child. The child does not like school and wants to drop out.

My guess is that Michigan law is the same as most other states. When you are 18 you are by law a adult. There fore you have a right to put him or her out just as you have a right to tell any one visting your home to leave.


The qualifications for a real estate license differ by state.  Here is a typical scenario:  you take a 60-hour course (online or through a real estate school, often run by brokerages) and take the test from your state department of licensing.  Some states require a high school diploma.\n\nA real estate agent and a REALTOR(r) are not technically the same.  A REALTOR(r) has paid dues to the National Association of REALTORS to be a member of their trade organization.  Most people use the term generically, but this drives NAR's attorneys crazy because they are afraid they will lose their trademark.

Such online tracking service like mailtracking etc is able to track if someone has opened an email that they sent.

Some e-mail systems offer a trackback, you can tell if someone has opened the message, for instance. But these only work within some limited system (say AOL mail to another AOL user). \n\nYou generally can't track an e-mail sent to another person on another system. For instance AOL mail to Yahoo, has no tracking.\n\nSome systems I have seen which allow tracking also let you know if you are being tracked. These have been messages sent on internal corporate systems, though, and I forget the details.\n\nIf you're sending some message else where it can't be tracked by you.\n\n\nHowever, if you want to know if your message is being read by others, there isn't any way to tell, but anyone with access to a mail server can read the messages. I don't worry about this with something like Yahoo mail (unless they get a request from the government), or even in large companies. \n\nBut it is quite possible that in a small to medium sized company someone is reading your mail. They are almost certainly not supposed to, but it happens. Also, if there is going to be a record of your e-mails on these servers too, and the company may be able to go back and see what you are doing if they are so motivated.

i have pictures in my ,,documents ,,my shared documents,,and in the file named ,,my pictures,,,can i and how do i put a password to open the files ,,so that other users of my computer cant see them unless they also know the password,,i'm hoping i dont have to buy a special program to do it ,these are very private files ,,any help will be deeply appreciated,,

If you are using Windows XP you have several options.\nOption 1: Right click on the file to password (or an entire folder if you want), click properties, click the General tab, click Advanced button, click Encrypt Contents check box.\n\nOption 2: Use compression program like WinZip, and choose Encrypt or Password Protect options.\n\nThese will encrypt your information so that only a programming genius will be able to see your data 99.99% of people will not be able to get to it.\n\n* NOTE *\nIf you are engaging in illegal activity, these will not be good enough. Neither will deleting the files. The police can easily crack those. In that case you will need to delete everything, throw your hard disk away and never access those files again.


I think music is one of the best gifts this world has! It's a way to express yourself. When you write a song expressing your feelings you can then add music and make people feel what you are feeling through the sound of music. I LOVE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what i would do without it!

It's the air that i breath;\nthe food that I eat;\nthe water that I drink;\nthe love my heart needs;\nthe salvation to my soul;\nthe healing for my wounds;\nthe life that I live!!!!

"It is found in a number of minerals including allanite (also known as orthite), monazite, bastnasite, certie, and samarskite. Monazite and bastnasite are presently the two more important sources of cerium. Large deposits of monazite found on the beaches of Travancore, India, in river sands in Brazil, and deposits of allanite in the western United States, and bastnasite in Southern California will supply cerium, thorium, and the other rare-earth metals for many years to come.

WASHINGTON - A State Department official told lawmakers Wednesday that China's efforts to manipulate the Internet have increased in the last year, "sending a chilling message to Internet users." \nRepresentatives from Microsoft Corp., Yahoo Inc., Cisco Systems Inc. and Google Inc. were expected to face hard questions at the hearing from lawmakers from both political parties.\nRep. Chris Smith said the companies are "enabling dictatorship" by helping China manipulate the Internet.\n"Cooperation with tyranny should not be embraced for the sake of profits," says Smith, the Republican chairman of the House subcommittee on global human rights.\nU.S. tech companies eyeing China face a dilemma, analysts say: While keen to tap a market that could soon eclipse America's, they must also worry about the perception they're helping China harass dissidents.\n"They are in an extremely dicey position," said John Palfrey, a Harvard Law School professor.

No!Because if you cut off the hand in congressthan you cant \ncongress any more.Duh!

i made it to lvl 2 and no email as promised, this blows.

I didn't get one either.  But remember, Yahoo Answers is in beta (which means all the bugs have not been worked out).\n\nPost this question in the Yahoo Answers category and they will respond.


With Google Desktop search, they scan my entire computer.  Same with yahoo.  They could steal my patent ideas.  Where is it written that they can't do that?

It's absolutely impossible for a couple of reasons:\n\n1. The option is only turned on if you want. Unless you choose a specific option (it's off by default), Google will not store data on their servers- it will only be stored on your computer.\n\n2. They get millions and millions of documents on their servers. Millions! Even if they would want to sift through it with keywords and such, they'd never be able to work through it all.\n\n3. The data is only kept for 30 days.\n\n4. The data is securely encrypted, and the key is held in your GMail account- Google employees would have no access unless they had the right authority, and even then they'd need to find the specific GMail account that it's tied to.\n\n5. Oh, it's also illegal for them to do so from their privacy agreement. You could easily prove the data was yours and they'd lose billions of dollars from lawsuits, fines, and lost business. Trust me, it's not worth their risk.\n\nIn summary: Off by default, tens of millions of documents, 30 days, encrypted, illegal/not worth it.\n\nOK?


Under a vent at work maybe that's the cause. Night time is worst.  Sometimes uncontrolable at night and during day.  Not always a productive cough. What type of test do I ask my doctor to do?

DO YOU SMOKE???EITHER WAY YOU NEED TO HAVE A CHEST X-RAY FIRST AND FORMOST THEN IF CANCER IS RULED OUT TRY FOR ATHSMA,ALLERGIES,CRONIC COUGH,ETC..DONT WAIT I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH I HAD A FRIEND WHO THOUGHT HE WAS "JUST SICK" SAME STORY AS YOU ...HE HAD CANCER AND ONCE THEY FOUND IT IT WAS TOO LATE..I HOPE THIS ISNT YOUR CASE.SEE YOUR DR.


In a rescent deabte we had in my school.We discussed weather scinece students were better than commerce students(economics/accounts/business studies).\nSo what do you think?

I don't think it's a fair comparison to make.\n\nI studied chemisty with an analytical specialization in college.  My roommate studied philosophy.  The fact that I studied natural science doesn't put me in a class higher than him.  In fact, he is a genius.  He's currently finishing his last year in Georgetown Law.\n\nSo really...everyone is different.  Better students are better students regardless of their area of study.


I'm still not sure who my favorite is now.  I was an Earnhardt fan, now I like Jimmy Johnson, Dale Jr., and Kyle Bush.  If one of them win it would would be great!

It would be awesome if Jimmy Johnson, or Kyle Bush won it!!!


find the riddle of what did the floor say to the wall ?


Microsoft gives people a free way to set-up your domain name pointed to microsoft MX servers; called 'Custom domains', and so that you can FREELY use your own domain name and stary grabbing email messages. You can set up 60 email addresses under your domain name with Custom Domains service.\n\nI think, gmail has also this kind of service, but they don't set it up immediately because at first you send a message to them about your request and if they agree, you can then start your email service under gmail mx server (i did not try yet)\n\nMy question is: When will Yahoo! give such a service to users? Yahoo is better than Hotmail and Gmail. So it would be very nice for us to have such a service from Yahoo!

Don't think that is going to happen that is what is paying for all these FREE accounts

You need antivirus and antispam software. Try Norton Antivirus or McAfee. That'll keep your computer safe.


Habit.  Can't stop. Any recommendations?

It is an old wives tale that cracking your knuckles will cause arthritus, not so. What makes the cracking sound is the space inbetween the joints and when they are manipulated for the crack, they will produce the poping sound. But as for doing your back or neck, those are some pretty important things to your body and if you make a mistake and do it wrong, you could end up with damage from minor stuff to something major enough to need surgery or even cause you to end up in a wheel chair. I went to school with a girl who would crack her back and then her neck and once when she was at home and did it, soemthing did not move as it should have and she has been in a wheel chair ever since.

i would like to start a patchwork quilt but dont know exactly how to get started can anyone help

It's easy! There are many ways to get started quilting.\n\nA quilt is made by sewing fabric together to form a top. It is then layered on a batting and backing and sewn together. Finally, a binding is sewn around the edge to finish it of.\n\nTo sew a quilt top, it's easiest to start with strips or squares. Avoid triangles until you are comfortable. I love to make bar quilts because they are easy.\n\nUse 100% cotton weave fabric. I also use old shirts (dress shirts), sheets, or similar items to recycle.\n\nLook around the web for quilting patterns and ideas to use as inspiration!\n\nThere are also numerous quilting guilds in every country in the world. Online groups exist, plus local fabric shops can help you out. \n\nBest wishes in your quilting endeavor!\n\n-- An experienced quilter.\n\nP.S. I prefer to machine piece the fabric together, but you can also sew a quilt by hand using nothing more than a needle and thread.


there was something very unique about them. Tour guide said, age, I think.


I have a dsl connection on my desktop computer and I just got a new laptop that has a wireless card in it. I heard awhile ago that there is something you can get where the wireless card will pick up the connection in house.  Is this true/possible? If so what do I need to get?  Thanks!

You have half of the equation solved. You'll need a wireless router that will serve as an access point for your wireless network card. First determine what type of wireless card you have in your laptop(802.11x or wi-fi)* then use that information to choose the correct access point. Once you figure out the specifications on your network card, check out the link below for more information and reviews on wireless routers.

He treats me like my life belongs to him like im his slave he never leaves me alone.I need to write a poem about that.

Write an angry poem, one that shows you don't apreshiate ( wrong spelling ) him treating you like a pupet.


is coming from my wall dresser. Doeas anyone have any tips or ideas?

Check for gnawing and/or droppings.  You usually don't have a mouse without little droppings, and they chew constantly.\n\nInstead of using a spring mouse trap -- and please don't consider a glue board, they are crueler than poison -- why not try a trap where you can release your visitor (if you have one) outside, away from your home?\n\nhttp://www.themousedepot.com/\n\n2/22 If you have an indoor pet you should not use poison of any kind, even though most rodent baits you buy will not kill a dog or cat if a pet eats them (at least, that's what the packets state).\n\nDo you live in the South?  Or an old residence?  Roaches can be extremely loud, and they are active at night.


There is a law that has been passed about employees and tatoos. If an employee was hired in with a tatoo and have worked for a number of years with the same tattoo, is it legal for an employer to give that person 30 days to get rid of their tattoo at their own expense or be fired from their job?

My opinion - if there were no tattoo specifications at the time of hire, I would say that the tattoo should be grandfathered (allowed under the "old rules").  However, if the tattoo is visible and distracts from the company image, causes a hostile work environment (such as naked lady) then the tattoo would be inappropriate, and grounds for some type of compromise.


I have been on it for about 6 years. I had mild-moderate social anxiety. I am afraid to come off it. Even when I dont take it for a while (which rarely happens) I feel those feelings again.  I know you cant take it when you are pregnant also. Is there a safe anti-anxiety drug to be on while pregnant? I dont want to be on this drug for the rest of my life.

I've been on Paxil for 9 years- and was on it during pregnancy with no adverse effects.  Talk to your doctor but don't feel badly if you need to stay on it.


I have been running about 2-3 weeks behind on making my house payments.  Each month, the mortgage company starts making harassing phone calls as soon as my payment is 2-3 days late.  Can they legally harass me like this?  They are now telling me that I need to move out of my house because they are getting tired of having to call each month.  Can they legally threaten me like this?  My payment is only 10 days late right now and the first threat came just 6 days after my payment was due.  What can I do to stop the threats?  I'm working as much as I can to get my payment in on time but is there anything that I can do to stop the harassment in the mean time? My payments have never been more then 30 days late........

Yes they can start calling you the first day it is late. No they can not take your house. You have to be 90+ late for foreclosure proceedings to start. Also most lenders allow a minimum of 10 days after the due date before they can charge you late fees. However like I said they can begin calling you the first day it is late.


ya see my friend wants to see last holiday and i want to see when a stranger calls can u answer so we can come to a desision

Me and my friend love going to the movies, we go every weekend. And this Saturday we went to see "When a Stranger Calls" and It was the best movie. It was very scary and suspenseful, it will keep you on the edge of your seat through the whole movie. We jumped at least 6 times. It was really scary. I think you should go see "When a Stranger Calls" at the theater. You and your friend will have fun jumping and talking to the screen saying "Don't go in there" Its a great scary movie and a fun movie to go see with your friend. I recommend it.


I am a well-known doctor that discovered a method to preserve blood. Through my hard work in 1945, many blood banks were set-up to store blood plasma.


i am in love witha girl elder to me and she is not from my caste, my parents advice me against the marriage and explain future problems i am confused and in dark

Unless it's only a few years, I would advise against it.  For one thing, men and women age differently.  Back in the days when the typical marriage was an older man and a younger woman, this came out even.  She was entering menopause about the time he was getting old enough not to care.  But for a woman with a younger husband, menopause can mean a very bad time indeed.  He may just be hitting his stride, and not ready to slow down in any way, when she becomes less and less interested in (and physically comfortable with) sexual activity.  She may not have time to have children and raise them right once he gets his feet under him economically.  Or to put it another way, she may be under pressure to have her children while she still can, and he's not ready yet.\n\nOf course, how much you love each other still has to be the main consideration.  But love, however intense, can fade when you look at your wife in comparison to women your own age or younger, and say, "She's getting old!"  Also, once you are mistaken for her son a few times, you may feel the bloom is off the rose.\n\nI am speaking from experience here.  My last husband was 11 years younger than me, and we both decided it was a bad idea.  However, we remained the best of friends even after we divorced.

I am asking if thier is computer programs for family law?

Perfect Attorney Platinum has been around for years. It covers family as well as most any kind of U.S. law you can imagine.


I am staying home sick from work today because I can hardly get out of bed.  I have really really heavy periods.  They weren't so bad when I was on birth control, but my husband and I want to start a family, so that's not an option.  What else can be done to help me?

My salvation was bio-identical hormones.  My hormones were low and out of balance.  My doctor had me do a saliva test and then using those results, he compounded a  natural hormone cream for me to use.\n\nNow my period is like that of a normal person. I don't need any painkillers (down to 0 from 16 a day), my pms is nearly gone so I can control it now, I don't flood anymore, and I just feel better.\n\nFind a doctor in your yellow pages who deals with bio-identical hormones.

the people woh helped and sent money for the tsunami relief fund and also for the survivors

This isn't a question.  Please rephrase.  \n\nExample: "How many people sent money for the relief of the tsunami?"


The series [summation of] 1/n^2\nFrom n=1 to n=infinity.\n\nI know that it converges to pi^2/6, but was wondering how it was done.

What you are considering is the famous Riemann zeta function, evaluated for an argument of 2 \n\nzeta(2) = pi^2/6\n\nThe evaluations of the zeta function at the integers are called the zeta constants. For even integers, they are related to the Bernoulli numbers due to a result of Euler.\n\nFinding the 2nd zeta constant is known as the Basel Problem\nThere are many different ways to do this. It was first done by Euler in 1735. The 3rd reference gives a list of techniques for solving the Basel Problem.\n\n\nOf the methods there, here is one I like. \n\nExpand x^2 as a Fourier series:\n\nThen x^2= (pi^2)/3+{sum m=1 to inf} [(-1)^m cos (mx)]/(m^2)\n\nLet x=pi, and then cos(m *pi)=(-1)^m, leading directly to the expression you want for zeta(2).


I recieved a virus through an email in my hotmail acct. from a yahoo adress. Can you track, reveal and hopefully prosecute the offender if I provide you with the email?

Nope, it did not actually come from said address. People spoof email addresses when sending out bad things.


include title, author && mini review please!\n\nxo <3 =]\n\nps: the only reason i put it in OTHER is because i couldnt find "books"...?

there is this book it is really good it is called "the cage" by Ruth Minsky Sender a summary about it is:\n\nWow! what a compelling story to read and think about. The Cage was a great book I could not put it down! By the time two days had passed I had finished the book. \nIt is an amazing account of a young girl's life who endurs all of the hardships of the Holocaust and the torture of the ghettos and concrentation camps. I would reccomend this book to teens and older, because there are many graphic parts, overall a joy to read!!!!!!


Is there a museum or planetarium that has such a model?

Many. They are called orreries. There is one on the internet too (see reference). The first reference has a picture of one at the Smithsonian. \n\nBefore the orrery, there was something similar called the armillary sphere, invented by Eratosthenes (aka spherical astrolabe, armilla, or armil).\n\nThe tellurian is similar to orrery. Sometimes an orrery was called a planetarium.


I have the latest version of Windows Media Player and something called DivX Player. The image types are Windows Media Audio/Video file and Video Clip.

I think you need a DVD burner, which you can buy from most computer shops. I don't know though :/
