I'm an American who works with lots of international people. I'm curious about the game of cricket. Is there a website that explains it simply? And, what is a wicked googily?

Cricket is a team sport. The team which scores the most amount of runs, and gets the other team out, wins. Nothing simpler.\n\nThere are two forms of the game:\n\n1) Test cricket—which takes place over five days. Think of it as akin to the novel with all the running dramas, climaxes, anti-climaxes, intrigues and counter-intrigues of that artform. Test cricket is the original and only true form of cricket.\n\n2) Pyjama or One-Day cricket—the shortened form. It is to test cricket as a bad TV advertisment (wheredyagedit?) is to a superb film. Loud, noisy, predictable, wholly lacking in subtlety and eye-jarringly colourful. To be watched only if there is no test cricket available.\n\nFor obvious reasons, I will largely be discussing test cricket.\n\nCricket is played on an oval. A large expanse of green grass usually surrounded by a white picket fence. The grass is kept at a specific height by the groundsman. In the centre of the oval is the cricket pitch (or wicket) which is a strip of paler grass. The wicket (or cricket pitch) is also carefully presided over by the groundsman, but once the game begins grass is left to grow and the wicket to deteriorate. Thus the conditions for playing change over the five days of a test. The condition of the oval and pitch has a large effect on whether the cricket played on it will be high or low-scoring. Some afficionados argue that the groundsman is the most important person in cricket. I think this is going a tad too far.\n\nAt either end of the cricket pitch (or wicket) are the stumps (or wicket). The stumps are a wooden constuction of three stakes (Buffy would have plenty of weapons available should she have to deal with a nest of vampires while attending a cricket match) impaled in the ground, with two smaller pieces of wood, known as the bails, balanced on top. In front of these stumps (or wicket) at either end is a white painted line which marks the crease.\n\nTwo teams of twelve people play (though the position of the twelfth man is that of gofer. They don't actually play unless one of the fielders needs to leave the oval for a short amount of time). The two teams take turns fielding and batting. In test cricket each team has two innings. In pyjama (or one-day) cricket they have one innings each.\n\nThe team batting has the job of protecting the stumps (or wicket) and trying to score runs. Two batsmen at a time are on the field (unless one of the batsmen is injured in which case they have a runner and there are three batsmen on the field). One batsman is at either end of the cricket pitch (or wicket) defending the stumps (or wicket) and trying to score runs.\n\nRuns are scored by hitting the ball (made of cork covered with red leather) with a cricket bat (traditionally made of willow—thus the expression "the glorious sound of leather on willow" which sound dirty if you're thinking of a certain character from Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and running up and down the cricket pitch (or wicket). Although only one batsmen can hit the ball at any one time, both must run and get safely behind their crease. If the ball is hit all the way to the boundary (typically a thick white rope, not the fence) it is deemed to be four runs. If it is hit over the boundary it is six runs. The batsmen need not run for these boundaries.\n\nOnce a batsmen has run safely from one end of the cricket pitch (or wicket) to the other they have scored one run for themselves and also for their team. The batsman who is facing the bowling is said to be on strike. You do not have to hit each ball. You do not have to run if you do hit the ball. Hitting the ball to the boundary is the most efficient way of making runs because you accumulate runs faster and you don't have to exhaust yourself running.\n\nGetting fifty runs is good for an individual batsman, getting one hundred (or a century) is better, and getting more still is even better. The most amount of individual runs ever was 380 scored by the A

Looking to move.  I live in Fairbanks Alaska, our sales tax is 0, our state tax is 0, but our property tax rate is $23/per 1000.

California we pay 1% property tax and 7.75% sales tax but each county is different and some are nearly 9% in sales tax.  Also local districts still raise property taxes a little here and there so some are up to 1.2%.  \n\nWe also have a state income tax too, not too mention vehicle license fees that far exceed the cost of licensing a vehicle.  Oh and lets not forget about 70 cents of the $2.4 in gasoline is taxes.


A while ago, I fell in love with one of my really good guy friends.  Soon after I found that he didn't feel the same way, I started going out with someone else.  I love him too, but ever since one of my female friends told me that I was still in love with the first guy and that I could never love my boyfriend the way I loved the first guy, I have been thinking about the first guy in ways that I feel very guilty.  What should I do?

i understand you might love the first guy, but if he doesn't feel the same then move on, and love this other guy, you should let it go and follow your heart.  yes you might not love the 2nd like the 1st but not all love is the same.  You will probably always think about the love you had for the first guy, but the key thing here is that he doesn't feel the same, and you can't make someone love you.


I need to know the sizes of various microscopic objects. The more information I have, the happier I will be, so I hope some of you will help me do a bit of research. Whoever gives me the longest list (or most interesting) will get 10 points. Here are some examples:\n\nHydrogen atom = 0.10586 nanometers\nProton = 0.000001 nanometers\nCalcium atom = 3.93 nanometers\nShortest X-rays = .005 nanometers\nProtozoa = 5 to 500 micrometers (5,000 to 500,000 nanometers)\nThe Bohr radius = 0.05293 nanometers\n\nHere are a few examples of things I would like to find:\nOxygen atom\nVarious kinds of proteins\nVarious kinds of cells and cell organelles (ribosomes, mitochondria, etc.)\nDNA width & length.\nHow fast does a DNA strand unzip during replication (nanometers/sec)?\nNeurons and neurotransmitter molecules\nThe smallest silicone chips or widths of circuits used in computers.\nThe width of the average pin point.\nWidth of an average human hair.\n\nPlease include links to web pages or sources.

Here are some atomic diameters from a sight that shows the periodic table of elements:\nhttp://chemlab.pc.maricopa.edu/periodic/periodic.html\n(The table showed radius, so I doubled to get the diameter.)\nCarbon atom (C) = 1.82 nm\nOxygen atom (O) = 1.3 nm\nIron atom (Fe) = 3.44 nm\n\nAnd here is a cool sight that is all about light:\nhttp://www.botany.uwc.ac.za/ecotree/photosynthesis/spectrum.htm \n\nGamma rays = 0.00001 nm\nX-rays = 0.001 nm\nUltraviolet = 1 nm\nViolet = 380 nm\nBlue = 450 nm\nRed = 750 nm\nInfrared = 1000 nm\nMicrowaves = 1,000,000 nm\n\nHere is a page that show DNA dimensions:http://www.cat.cc.md.us/~gkaiser/biotutorials/dna/dna.html

What causes this pain and how to deal or get rid off this pain during running?

first make sure you don't drink any fluids right before you run, and you need to set your pace with your breathing. If you breathe in thru your nose simultaneously while stepping with your right (or left) foot, then exhale thru your mouth at the same time your stepping with the other foot, after a little practice you'll be pain free in no time, and you'll find yourself running farther distances too. after your run it's good to take a few swallows of sugar water. Just plain ole water with plain ole sugar. Good luck with that.

The title of the novel is "The Dark Gathering of the Birds and the Bees." The overall objective of my novel is to attack problems in this society that have attacked our youth. Things that in the "old" days would seem completely wrong. But, the overall question is...\nDo you think that sex is a tool of construction or destruction? The book runs off that line. What I mean is that would people be better off if they didn't look at sex as something that's completely enjoyable, so freely and instead saw it as what it was meant to be. A part of a process. In my novel, sex is potrayed, through the parents of the main character, as something that comes after great communication, trust, honor, all those good things. But, to have all those things, you don't have to be married. What do you think? Sounds like an O.K. book?

no, i like that, im in high school and im writing a book 2, ill look 4 it when it gets published :0

If Ronald McDonald is suppose to be a clown, Hamburglar a burgler of hamburgers... what about Grimace?

Grimace (a.k.a. "The Grimace") is a fictional character who is part of the marketing campaign of McDonald's. He is a friend of Ronald McDonald and a large, jolly fellow who looks like a large purple gumdrop with small arms and legs. He is known for his smiling face and simple demeanor. \nIn the first cycle of McDonaldland commercials beginning in 1971, Grimace was the "Evil Grimace", with several pairs of arms with which to steal Triple-Thick Shakes. After that first campaign, the character was revised to be one of the "good guys", and his number of arms was reduced to two.\n\nToday, Grimace is generally portrayed in McDonalds' commercials and merchandise as a sort of well-meaning doofus, whose clumsy antics provide a comic foil to the more serious and mature Ronald McDonald.\n\nGrimace is a fantasy character, and not intended to be anything specific. However, ever since the character's introduction there has been much speculation (though much of it tongue-in-cheek) about his appearance. Because the majority of McDonald's characters more or less directly represent a food product sold at the restaurants (ie: Mayor McCheese, Fry Guys, McNugget Buddies, etc) many have naturally tried to guess as to what, if any, food product Grimace is supposed to represent. A common speculation is that he is supposed to be a giant McNugget, but his appearance pre-dates the release of that food. A better explanation is that he is a taste bud, though there are many more fanciful attempted explanations. In reality, Grimace's "official" role, according to McDonald's, continues to be to represent the chain's famous milkshakes. However, he does this out of love for the taste, and not because he is in any way a shake-based creature himself.


I have had 4 in my entire life but they are horrible. My body goes into shock and i usually throw up. does that happen to you in your attacks ? all my blood goes to my heart, my head and limbs go numb. i can't walk or stand, i'm dizzy. after i throw up i am okay again. usually there is a 3-5 minutes from "point of impact" to effects. is there anything i can do if i feel one coming on ? i tried to sit still, go outside, think of pleasing things. nothing works. I am thoroughly convinced it's entirely mental because 3 out of 4 of my attacks are dental related.\n\ni'm not interested in any pills. whati want to know is what do your attacks do to your body ? what can you do to alleviate this before it's critical ? what helps you ?

I get anxiety attacks all the time, and I refuse to take medication for it, so I started going to a counselor for it. Here's what she told me... and it works really well.  Every night before you go to bed (or once a day) relax your whole body.  Start at your neck/shoulders and work your way down to your toes.  First, tense up your muscles for 5 seconds, and then relax for 5 seconds, breathing deeply throught the whole thing.  Do each body part seperately.  If you do this every day for 30 days you will automatically start doing it.  So then every time you get an anxiety attack,  instead of freaking out and tensing up,  your body will relax and you'll stay more calm.


he lives in San Diego,too far for me to get to him....and plus if the family found out about him,they dont want me to be with anyone..after my last relationship..what to do?

Will the White Sox win it all, again?\nthey signed Jose Contreras today.  They have the pitching.  Maybe enough offense.  If Scott Podsednik can get on base. and steal some.  Thome won't hit 45 HR.  but maybe 36-38.\n\nWhat do you think?\nGO WHITE SOX!

im not a red sox fan but i believe off the top of my head they have the best chance. lost damon but got a solid man in crisp who is somewhat underrated and they added beckett to an already great pitching staff and of course ortiz and ramirez will get over 140 RBI's each this year. thought i dont think they will win it watch out for the mets a lot of big adds and i believe they will win their division. sorry ATL

My friend Elizabeth asked Dakota if he liked anybody in school and he answered that he wasn't going to tell. Should I just let him be just in case it is me, or should I ask him?

Since she asked if he liked anybody at your school, the odds would be against you that he liked you unless you and Elizabeth are the only girls at the school and he isn't gay. You would then have a 50-50 shot at being the one he likes, although he never said that he did actually like anyone at your school. No matter what, it would be better if you just let it be and wait and see if he likes you. You can be friendly and flirt, but I definitely would not just come out and ask him. It would put both of you in an uncomfortable spot.


Across the decades, thousands of viewers wrote the company, proposing scenarios for future torture tests. The ad campaign ended in 1977, with a "failure" that had been planned in advance. In the commercial, an elephant stomped on—and completely crushed—a Timex, at which point Swayze informed the television audience, "It worked in rehearsal."


As far as I know each temple is unique and there is no special set up required. The idols and such depend on the Goddess or God to whom the temple is dedicated. There is usually a prayer area and an area where devotees and poor people can get food [prasad] that has been blessed by God. Many south Indian temples also have side temples to the snake God within the premises.\n\nI THINK you were talking about a Hindu temple?


who was she and what did she believe in and what not ?

you can find out all about her here: http://www.philomena.org/\n\nHere's a little excerpt:\n\nThe very name of Philomena contains the words: filia luminis, daughter of light. She is the enlightener of a dark and corrupt age confounding the sneers of materialism. She is the Patroness of the Children of Mary. Her mission today is to draw us to the Immaculate Heart of Mary through imitation of her heroic virtues of purity, obedience and humility. Saint Philomena is an anchor of HOPE in this dark age of despair.\n\nThe rude latter days are here. They are clearly and universally marked by occultism, modernism, materialism, spiritism, despair and a general falling away from the Faith. Never have the powers of darkness been so strong, since the beginning of Christianity, as they are today. Saint Philomena is the New Light of the Church Militant! This title was bestowed upon her by St. Jean Marie Vianney, heroic confessor and patron of all parish priests.\n\nLittle, indeed, is known historically of Saint Philomena. Her real history commences when her blessed remains were found after having rested in the obscurity of the Catacombs of St. Priscilla for some seventeen hundred years. But God is wonderful in His saints, and Saint Philomena strikingly exemplifies this oft-repeated truth. After allowing her name and memory to be buried with her earthly remains for centuries, He suddenly brought the attention of mankind to this little maiden-martyr, and now works astounding prodigies in her name, as if wishing to show that He wills in this way to recompense the long time He allowed her to remain in obscurity.

Who's your favorite team too? What do your think is an equivalent league for the MLS in other countries or what divisions? Is the quality of play that inferior, or are many fans just snobs?

A pure soccer only stadium is the best....like Chicago's new stadium.  Colorado looks like their stadium is coming along nicely too!


A good friend of mine ( a Male ) has just announced he is gay - he is making it a priority to tell all of his friends  face - to - face. I'm out of the area right now and I know he'll tell me as soon as I get home. \n\nHe's already told my brother ( who is also good friends with him.  my brother  just called me and told me . )\n\nI Love this guy - he's like family and It makes me feel so happy that he trusts me and loves me enough to let me know. ( his parents don't even know.) \n\nWhen he tells me , What I'd really like to says is " hey, it means a lot to me that you told me. I love you. "\n\nBut, my bro said he seemed kind of " fragile " when they where talking and a " he might not be able to handle a heart to heart." he sudjested I make a joke like..\n\n" DANG! I was just getting up enough courage to make a move on you! " \nHas anyone else had an experience like this?\nHas anyone anounced they where homosexual like this?\nany advice is appreciated,\n**PLEASE, NO ANT- GAY COMMENTS.**

Be supportive. It sounds like he needs to talk. Let him know that you're still his friend.\n\nExpect that this might be an adjustment for you, as he becomes more out. It'll bring changes for him, too.\n\nIf he's having issues, see if there's a group locally that can help, such as a gay youth group.


When i play games on pc for around 15 minutes an alarm goes on and when i exit the game and wait for around 1 minute and a half it stops. What is wrong? Can I fix this?

You have some sort of program that sets off an alarm on you computer. Look for an unusual program in the programs list.


did anybody know about www.iac-shop.biz? \nAre they genuine merchant in debit visa/mastercard card dealer/issuer?\nI want to know whether they can be trusted.

Have them checked out by Visa and Master card they would know if they are officially a merchant and if they had any complaints!Good luck and be wise about giving out your information!


I especially would like to know how to erase the index.dat file.

you can try covering your tacks using the program mentioned above, but it will not reallly help you if you are using your companies netwrok. as they keep a log of each site/file downloaded. i think you can delete it if you are in safe mode logged on as an administrator. \n\nbut event then the company will still have a copy if your using there internet connection


anyone can give me site to learn mind reasing\n\ni want to learn not the comp\n\ni wanna learn

Find someone with similar interests and approximately the same resonant frequency and start practicing.  You have to do synchronization exercises first, rather than actual mind reading.  Don't put the cart before the horse.\n\nTake the time to develop skills leading to this goal.  Empathy, sympathy, teamwork, silent communication.\n\nPractice with your wife, or husband.  Whatever.  Worth exploring if you have interests.  That's where everything reliable came from, effort and interest, sometimes the concatenation of results from all pioneers.\n\nNo, I haven't got there yet.  But I can do very reliable assessment of intentions and spiritual qualities.  Highly valuable at parole hearings, for example, but wholly uncredited at this stage.  Things will change very, very slowly, but the future is inevitable.


THere's a whole bunch of them buggy riding frumps where I live and I figure, if ya can't beat ''em, join 'em. But can I simply "go amish" or do I have to attend a community college class or intern with an amish family? What's the protocol? Hell, spring and summer are around the corner and I'd rather be outside than in some crappy office all day. Besides, the cost of gas is killing me; hell horses just eat hay, right?

I think you have to have Amish parents, it's not the kind of religion that accepts converts. Besides, if you only knew just how much it costs to feed a horse....


The answer is suppose to be 10.63 but I don't know how they got that.

good news...10.63 is correct. Now how to get there.  \nMorp + H20 ---> Morp+ + OH-\ninitial concentration of Morp=.115M  everything else is 0.\nEquilibrium concentration of Morp=.115M-X, H20 ignore, Morp+=X, OH-=X.   Set up your equilibrium equation.  Kb=[OH-][Morp+]/[Morp]  pKb=-log Kb  so Kb=1.62e-6.  1.62e-6=[X][X]/[.115-X]  We can ignore the X subtracted from .115 since it is very small when compared.  so solving for x we finally get X=4.32e-4 which is the OH- concentration.  pOH=-log OH-  pOH = 3.36.  pH = 14-pOH .....pH=10.63.


ok i am pretty good but i cant seem to get my 1st degree black belt form down so i was wondering if anyone had any tips about this or if you could give me tips on sparring beacuse i am not the greatest and i need ways to score and help on speed...

doubt i'm as good as you but here is my little advice. you can try to master the kick to attack the head. a jumping backswing is good. but you have to be stable and firm and keep the attck as consistent as you can.


I was suckered into a Timeshare meeting while I was on vacation.  The company that was offering timeshares was RCI.  I did not fall into the sales rep sales tactic since it would be moronic to invest in something that I am not familiar.  The presentation did get me thinking about a way of making residual income since the sales rep claim that RCI will rent out the timeshare if unused.  Is this true or is Clark Horward right?

75% of the resort's original proice is still too much money to pay for a timeshare! Don't buy from the resort! Buy resale and save as much as 60%, typically. Of course this depends on location.\n\nThere's a thriving timeshare market online. Use a search engine!\n\nMy favorite company is Sellmytimesharenow, but I'll leave that to your discretion. Just make damn sure that the resale company has a clean BBB record.


I think i have done something to my knee while i was cycling. It is sore around the knee cap.Torn something???  What can i do to make it heel faster 'cos' i want to go cycling and camping in a week. Is this advisable?

There are many components to the knee making it vulnerable for various types of injuries. Many injuries are successfully treated conservatively, while others require surgery to correct.  You should see a doctor as soon as possible as this is essential in case you may have suffered a ligament tear.  A tear would most likely require surgery if you are looking for a good long-term outlook. \n\nIn the meantime, follow a RICE program (an acronym which stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation).\n\nMore info on the treatment of knee injuries on site below.


my best friends brother who isnt th at hot asked me out i shortta like him should i say yes or no

I think you should ask your best friend and find out how she feels.  It would be wrong to loose a friend over a guy that you are not even sure you like.


In short to relax. We tend to think a lot a number of times. which leads to loss of sleep in the night, stress, tensions ans other similar problems. how to get rid of this. obvious you can't change your nature of thinking a lot or being emotional but there must be some way right??????

I heard that part of your mind that is emotional is what you\nuse to dream with? Maybe when you are tired and trying to\nfall asleep  your stress and tension are keeping you up,\nyou should find  ways to relax. You can not stop your mind\nfrom thinking! I listen to music.\n Listening to the beat to each sound of the singers melody with head phones on sounds different then when you listen to the radio in the car.


If not, what are the circumstances for the breakup?

Yes, as far as I have heard/read they are still together and have been since 1997.


Like in The Royal Tenennbaums, Richie cuts all his hair off and shaved his beard.  Then he cut his wrists.  In Legends of the Fall, Susannah cuts two huge chunks out of the front of her hair and then shoots herself.  What's the deal?

I would say it is a sign of self-hatred. Hair is very important for one self-esteem and when that is gone..a preclude to the ultimate act of self-loathing.\n\nMany movies who show disturbed young people (like in Wild Orchid) also show them cutting their head off upharzardly. A sign of rebellion also in some cases, I would say.


I.E. hearing, vision, physical limitations.

Hearing… am certain hospitals have at least a fluent sign language staff member.\nVision… with tender care.\nOther limitations… staff is trained to deal with any situation.


And we have done the Irish pubs, parades, green beer, cabbage and corned beef (which by the way the Irish do NOT eat - they do lamb.) Anyone know of any prefab cards that I haven't already bought, funny or not?

Im in Ireland and my cousins birthday is St.Patrick's day. And all we do is throw a normal party like it was any other day and then go to the pub. No-one in Ireland drinks green beer, or eats cabbage and corned beef on Paddy's Day, because we don't need to prove we are Irish or try make ourselves feel Irish by doing these things.These are not Irish customs, they are American. If your daughter is Irish, then that will be enough for her on Paddy's Day, have a normal party, while the rest of America is running around trying to be as Irish as possible and not even coming close to what she is.


How much of a toll do you think inflation will take by 2050?  I mean, in 1950, you could by a mansion for $50,000.  Now you cant by a shack for that?  What do you think will be the cost of candy, houses, college, cars and anything else?

I noticed that too. Companies with products like Chips Ahoy, Oreos, Dairy Queen, the cookies are a lot smaller I have a cup that before you had to bite off both sides of cookie to fit in cup, now it drops in without biting and room to spare, Oreos Double Stuff are like how reg. Oreos were, companies using smaller containers, making Hershey bars thinner and smaller, they make stuff smaller, charge more, why can't they leave it same size and raise price. Houses $10,000 cost $80,000 in just 5 years, college 10 years ago was $32.00 a credit hr. now it's 75.00 a credit, most classes 4 credits that I was taking. Servers get $2.13 an hour plus tips so in 1995 their boss gave them 2.13 and they had to get 2.13 from customers an hour then to went to 5.15 so boss still only gives 2.13 and servers make 3.02 an hour, boss' side never goes up, server goes up. So when min. wage goes up to 20.00  boss gives 2.13 and you 18.00??  Also gas prices a few years ago cheapest 87 cents to 1.27 now 2.69  - 300   when min. wage increases the companies figure you make more so I'll increase my prices.  Also we are between welfare level and middle class, we make it with finagling and 15.00 left at end of month, but welfare people in apt. complex next door, deal drugs, don't work, but work on their car stereos, and have tons of food, it doesn't make sense.  Welfare to those who need it, not those that refuse to work.  Everything raises because the wealthy don't want to live like us, so they don't lower prices they get greedier. Also the government gave themselves 8 raises since min. wage was increased but we never got 8 raises.  They increased their annual salary of about 89,000 - 200,000   by another 32,000   how would you like a raise of 32,000.


this cute guy i like and i gust star at him should i make a move

Gust Stars usually don't shine much. Try introducing yourself and telling him you think he's attractive.


I want to now all about atoms and electrons and that sort of stuff please.

ATOM..basic building block\n \n[Gr.,=uncuttable (indivisible)], basic unit of matter; more properly, the smallest unit of a chemical element having the properties of that element.  That is the definition.  Continue to read further; it really gives great detail!!!!!\n\nStructure of the Atom\n\nThe atom consists of a central, positively charged core, the nucleus, and negatively charged particles called electrons that are found in orbits around the nucleus.\n\nThe Nucleus\n\nAlmost the entire mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus, which occupies only a tiny fraction of the atom's volume. The nucleus of an atom consists of neutrons and protons, the neutron being an uncharged particle and the proton a positively charged one. Their masses are almost equal. Atoms containing the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons represent different forms, or isotopes, of the same element.\n\nThe Electrons\n\nSurrounding the nucleus of an atom are its electrons; for a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number. The outermost electrons of an atom determine its chemical and electrical properties. An atom may combine chemically with another atom in various ways, either by giving up or receiving electrons, thus setting up an electrical attraction between the atoms (see ion), or by sharing one or more pairs of electrons (see chemical bond). Because metals have few outermost electrons and tend to give them up easily, they are good conductors of electricity or heat (see conduction).\n\nThe electrons are often described as revolving about the nucleus as the planets revolve about the sun. This picture, however, is misleading. The quantum theory has shown that all particles in motion also have certain wave properties. For a particle the size of an electron, these properties are of considerable importance. As a result the electrons in an atom cannot be pictured as localized in space, but rather should be viewed as smeared out over the entire orbit so that they form a cloud of charge. The electron clouds around the nucleus represent regions in which the electrons are most likely to be found. The shapes of these clouds can be very complex, in marked contrast to the simple elliptical orbits of planets. Surprisingly, the sizes of all atoms are comparable, in spite of the large differences in the number of electrons they contain.\n\nAtomic Weight and Number\n\nThe atomic number of an atom is simply the number of protons in its nucleus. The atomic weight of an atom is given in most cases by the mass number of the atom, equal to the total number of protons and neutrons combined. An atom may be conveniently symbolized by its chemical symbol with the atomic number and mass number written as subscript and superscript, respectively. For example, the symbol for uranium is U (atomic number 92); the isotopes of uranium with atomic weights 235 and 238 are indicated by 23592U and 23892U.\n\nDevelopment of Atomic Theory\n\nEarly Atomic Theory\n\nThe atomic theory, which holds that matter is composed of tiny, indivisible particles in constant motion, was proposed in the 5th cent. by the Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus and was adopted by the Roman Lucretius. However, Aristotle did not accept the theory, and it was ignored for many centuries. Interest in the atomic theory was revived during the 18th cent. following work on the nature and behavior of gases (see gas laws).\n\nFrom Dalton to the Periodic Table\n\nModern atomic theory begins with the work of John Dalton, published in 1808. He held that all the atoms of an element are of exactly the same size and weight (see atomic weight) and are in these two respects unlike the atoms of any other element. He stated that atoms of the elements unite chemically in simple numerical ratios to form compounds. The best evidence for his theory was the experimentally verified law of simple multiple proportions, which gives a relation between the weights of two elements th

its been high for years and am on lipitor, looking for food suggestions... it seems to stay high with or without exercise...

This list of low-fat food choices may help you:\nMEATS: choose lean meats, chicken, turkey, fish (without skin or added oil)\nLean, trimmed cuts of beef, pork, and lamb\nexample:Pork tenderloin has written on the package"Recommended by the American Heart Association", anything that has this notice on the package is safe for you to eat\nEGGS: limit egg yolks (including those used in baked goods and cooking) to no more than 3 per week\nDIARY: have at least 2 servings of nonfat or low-fat dairy products per day. A serving size equals: one 8-ounce glass of milk or 1 ounce of cheese...always choose nonfat (skim) or low-fat dairy products\nFATS AND OILS: choose unsaturated oils such as olive, canola, safflower, sesame, soybean and sunflower, always use limited amounts\nFRUITS AND VEGETABLES: eat 2 to 4 servings of fruit and 3 to 5 servings of vegetables per day\nSTARCHES, GRAINS, AND LEGUMES: eat 6 to 11 servings per day, especially whole-grain products. The type of fiber found in oat, rice, and barley bran, along with beans, peas, and some fruits and vegetables has been shown to lower cholesterol\nchoose low-fat starches such as anfel food cake, low-fat cookies and crackers, bagels, English muffins and cereals, rice, pasta, corn, potatoes, peas, beans, lentils, pretzels and some bread sticks (check the label for fat content)\nLABELS: read the labels \nexample: a can of VanCamps Pork and Beans has on the label \nCalories 110    Fat Calories 10\nBecause it has printed on the label, Fat Calories 10, This is a good product for you, always go by the fat calories on the label\nAnd try to exercise as much as you can, this will also lower your cholesterol\nEveryone is different, always ask you doctor about what is\nbest for you\nI hope this helps\nGood luck


My right shoulder, arm, hip, and leg have been hurting for about a week. Tylonol 3 and Aleve are barely taking the edge off.

Go in now.  It could be something very serious and it could be nothing.  Don't take a chance.


My parents have told medical school is very challanging the first 2 years because you have to memorize the basics. They also say it is a competion with intelligents peopel from aroudn the country, is this true?????

Yes it is.  It is very challenging and very hard academically to get into.  You have to have very, very good grades in very hard subjects, and if you get in, there are very, very smart people with you and the coursework is quite rigorous and requires total committment and hard work.  And it is not just the first 2 years.


20... thats 2^20...1048576 bytes...some companies say 1,000,000 bytes to make their hardrives/flash memory seem bigger but 1048576 or 2^20 is technically the most accurate answer...


2 computers hooked up thru router to cable modem for internet.  Ex now moved and took his computer and now cannot get my computer to see the internet thru cable modem.  It is hooked up and does get an signal, just my computer unable to find internet.  Have also tried hooking up thru router but still not working.  Please help.

make sure your ip is set to obtain automatically.  Also do not install any software just plug the modem directly to puter and obtain ip auto.  hope this helps....

Just wondering who wins in the end? Why?

I would say boys. Typically they are more competitive, and they can actually work on a team, unlike many women.


all that padding on. thats the difference between yanks and the english. men and wimps.

To defend the Americans (for once) I have been a fan of American Football for some years and it is a specifically (and continuously) impact sport where the padding is absolutely necessary.  Even with it there are still significant injuries.\n\nRugby is absolutely a rough sport but if they hit like the American footballers do we would need 50 a side to be able to finish the game.\n\nOverall enjoy the sport you love, don't try to big it up by slagging off other sports\n\nPeace Out.


I wonder why we can stop the drugs in the communities.

The West has made a deal with all the warlords and drug czars (now called provincial premiers) in order to quieten the place down. \n\nUltimately, the US wants to secure the place so it can finish the construction of an oil pipe from the north through Afghanistan.\n\nA deal was made with the local chieftains in exchange for their support.

wht i mean is y arn't all da apes turnin into men? i noe this is a wierd ques!

Yes sure it is still going on. But apes will not turn into men, they'll turn into something else or they'll go extinct, or they won't change at all. Turtles didn't really change in 100s of million years.\n\nApes and men branch out of the same animal. We all changed into something different each on our way. You never know what skill or characteristic might be helpful for future species. Men are one original species, not what other species will turn into.


Ok, without failing can get success. That means you're smart enough to get that grade up. Laziness can't get it done. So, with this is a good strategy. Even with your new car is a done deal. I wish this one will be a priority without free time. If yes is an answer as I mention the question above, feel free to put an opinion.

jesus christ, is that how you think?  i can't understand a thing you just said.  you may as well forget getting any A's in college unless you're a phys ed. major.  get ready to walk everywhere, pal.


I would like to have my spider veins removed but I do not know anyone who has had it done.  I am concerned that it will be an ongoing process; in other words, the spider veins will return and I will have to have them removed again.\n\nSo, I am interested in your experience and in knowing if it was painful and if you had them return.

i have a small patch (congenital).  I keep having saline injections to get rid of them.  The first time I got an infection in my leg, but it was really no big deal.\n\nHope this helps.


I remember seeing a film in Biology class of a worm being removed from a hand by puncturing the skin and extracting the worm.  I have had this itchy place on my hand for about a week.  Now a type of blister has formed and the place is still itchy. I'm just curious as to what it might be.  At first, I thought is was a nerve ending causing me the itch, but am not quite sure.

It sounds like scabies. Scabies is something you can pick up from bedding, clothing, etc. It's not uncommon for children to get it at daycare. If you look closely, you might see what looks like hard, tiny blisters with a dark, pinhead center. It causes horrible itching which I think is worse at night. When untreated, the scabies like to move to the warmer parts of the body, where there are folds--like between the fingers, in the armpits, etc. The treatment, once you get diagnosed, is very simple. You'll just get a lotion or cream to apply. It's usually gone in a couple of days.


Could you cope with someone like me? How would you cope with all the issues? Curious.

Now, this is a very interesting and intriguing question. Actually, the issues are really big since the victim would always be doubtful about your every move. She can't stop but think she could get abused again. But, if the man makes her feel real comfortable at first and gain her complete trust, there would not be any issue later. I would go out with someone like you but would want you to letme know whenever you feel insecure with me. That would, by itself, slowly get you feel secure and then move easily with me.

Purchased several pounds of seafood from local grocer. Follow recipe for seafood dish and prepared an entree. Unfortunately, the seafood was tainted, and all the guests suffered gastrointestinal distress following the meal. Several of the guests are considering filing suit againts the grocer, alleging that the food was not merchantable. The groce admit that he may be liable to the hostess only.

It can also be how it was stored or carried home.  Seafood is like pork and chicken.  If the preparer gets it over a certain temperature than the food will begin to grow enzymes that may cause such illnesses like the GI distress.  So you know if the meat stayed out for an extensive amount of time from the store to home?  The grocer will only have to assume liability to the person who purchased the product.  Food poisoning is very common if you are not watching and preparing food at correct temps.  Keep that in mind while doing your research on who should be at fault.


I have been having problems with spy-ware, spam and even viruses getting through my virus protection and firewall. Can anyone direct me where I might find free PC Maintenance tools? ie: registry cleaner, spyware, etc. Thanks so much!

If you don't already use Norton 2006, go to Google, and type in Google Pack and click on the first link.  When it asks you the choices to download, choose he free trial version of Norton, don't worry, this is affiliated with Google and is safe to download.  Also go to http://www.safernetworking.com and download Spybot- S&D, do this after you get Norton.  And finally, go to Microsoft Update page for XP, and download Microsoft Ant-Spyware Beta, it is one of thier most popular.\n(note: not all of these are needed, but I use them and my PC is still fast)


My friend day there is somewebsite or some source that see how the professor in school grade student in his/her class. Example, fall 2005 he graded his class : 3A/30, 10B/30 , and the rest get C... By the way I study in George Mason University, Virginia

There is no universal site like this, since grades are confidential between the teacher and the student (and the registrar, in practicality).  However, your individual school may have a resource like that - check your school's website.


I think all Illegals found should have the option to serve in the US Army for 1 year to prove allegiance to America.  This would be for all Illegals-Male/Female-18-30.  Once service is completed they can bring their family back over from Mexico.

This is actually not a question. It's a partial statement. Just because you put a ? behind it doesn't make it a question. Some people have been getting reported because this is against the YA! community guidelines. However, I will try to respond to your non-question. I believe that this is one of the most reasonable questions? statements? partial statements? to be voiced around this community. I think this could be a very viable OPTION. Of course, not every "illegal" may meet all of the requirements, just like not all Americans meet all of the requirements. If there could be a few more reasonable options in place, this might have a shot at working. \n\nI appreciate the explanation of your plan, no matter how brief it was. It shows actual thought and foresight and a solution for their families as well. It's not just rhetoric and propaganda meant to incite people. Not everyone will agree with this suggestion, as someone has already called you a name because of it but at least it's a viable thought/option.\n\nThe statement from someone that said there would be money required out of your pocket to teach them English shows the amount of ignorance in our culture. If they knew any Mexicans they would know that the majority already speak English, as well, if not better than many Americans. I know not all of them do but if they don't their kids do and they learn it from them. All of my family (aunts, uncles, cousins) including my grandparents spoke English and spoke it very well. There were no communication problems. In fact, every Mexican family I know that came from Mexico speaks English.\n\n\nP.S. I was trying to be nice by informing you that there are others who have reported people for not asking "real questions". I still do not agree that your question was one whether it was in the form of a question or a statement. That's not the issue. The issue is what others might do, not me.\n\nI still find your solution to be a refreshing change. I think it tries to make it a win/win situation for both parties involved. Not everyone thinks outside the box. I believe both sides of the issue need to have more of this sort of thinking.


how should i look my best during my wedding in a hindu traditional marriage>?

There are accusations of corruption, fraud, ineptness, political influence peddling and a host of other charges being made by the community within Sufolk County, New York, at the Veterans Administration in Northport, New York. Do you believe the Veterans Administration Hospital-sites should be for the sole benefit of all veterans and be free of political fund raising and non-military activities held on the grounds of the Veterans Administration Hospitals-sites that are not specifically oriented toward the direct care and benefit of all veterans.?

I don't think they should have to stop with the non-military  fund raisers,but I do think they don't take care of the veterans like they are supposed to. I know alot of vets that have been treated at veteran hospitals and they did not get the care they needed.My Grandfather and father are fust two of them.I think the veteran hospitals should have the fund raisers but then have someone that will actually put the money back ino the hospital like it should be.


people in this world seem to hate what others beleive in and where they are from, i mean sometimes people just are like born into or forced into a religion or where they are from

you kind of answered your own question. people are born into it so they believe it because they are fed it from birth.

She heckled President Hu Jintao during a White House appearance this week.  The below article says she was charged with willfully intimidating, coercing threatening and harassing a foreign official.\n\nIs it just me or does that sound like something China would do?  I think W was doing it to show China we're on their side, and I think that's nuts.  No, scary.\n\n\nhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060421/ap_on_go_pr_wh/hu_protester_22;_ylt=AnVyFiD9PKmt5dBXMQC6zJhPzWQA;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl

The Lady is a Doctor, she was protesting the practice of organ harvesting in China and other Human rights issues. She has every right to speak out on a issue which she finds objectionable. Just as those who Hate Abortion have a right to voice their opinion. She should not be taken to court on any charge. If she is given jail time many will see this police action by the Republicans for what it is.


I have had anxiety for about 3 years and it was really bad when I first got it and was having panic attacks all the time. I was then put on zoloft and I am a lot better. I am scared to go off of zoloft because I don't want to ever feel like that again...so do I stay on this drug the rest of my life? Or is there anything other than drugs that can help me?

Try going to a herbalist. My son suffered from panic attacks and was given some drops to place on your tongue. It worked, but I am sorry, I can't remember the name, but someone else I know took it before their driving test and it calmed them down. Consult the herbalist is allI can advise. Good Luck!

I see hundreds of cones from different evergreen trees fall to the ground but do not grow. Are the cones actually seeds and if so, how do they grow?

The Colorado Spruce may share similar properties to Lodgepole Pines. Look up some information on the 1988 fires of Yellowstone.\n\n"Many of Yellowstone’s plant species are fire-adapted. Some (not all) of the lodgepole pines (Pinus contorta), which make up nearly 80% of the park’s extensive forests, have cones that are serotinous sealed by resin until the intense heat of fire cracks the bonds and releases the seeds inside. Fires may stimulate regeneration of sagebrush, aspen, and willows, but the interactions between these plants and fire is complicated by other influences such as grazing levels and climate. Though above-ground parts of grasses and forbs are consumed by flames, the below-ground root systems typically remain unharmed, and for a few years after fire these plants commonly increase in productivity.\n\n\nhttp://www.nps.gov/yell/nature/fire/


My boyfriend and I have been going out for a little over a year now and all we do is fight.  I love him so much and we always get in a fight and say that we are going to break up but we never do.  Is this normal?

Sounds like your just using the arguing to express ur feelings and or maybe get noticed ...try sittin down and talkin about it when yall get in to a fight and im sure youll see there isnt a big enough reason to leave each other for ...good luck


I'm connected to Road Runner and the router is a Motorola WR850G.  I've tried disconnecting both my modem and router, reseting the router...This has been going on for a few months now.  Any ideas????

If the connection between the router and laptop is wireless, then the likely problem is vayying signal conditions, as you move around the building..  check the signal strength\nThere may also be interference from other sources -  you might even have a neighbouring network operatingon the same, or adjacent channels.\nWhen your transfer rate is low, try scanning for other networks...   try changing the channel that your network operates on.\n\n\nTry connecting your laptop to the router directly, and see if the transfer rate still varies...  if it does, the problem may not be in your network at all, it might be a service provider or distribution problm.  Have RR run a diagnostic.


i want to start a business. i want to know how much i will need for the business but before i can get that i need an advice on wether to rent a van for the business or buy one. i want to know which is cheaper in the long run.

You can start small and expand:\n\nbe a courier on foot in a compressed urban area\nbe a bike messenger / courier in an urban area\n\nOR you could get on the Small Business Administrations website and check out how to do a business plan.  Once you've done the research and have a plan outlined for what you want to put together, the SBA will often help you locate investors or loan institutions that can fund your business.  Your local SBA office will also help you put together the business plan.\n\nhttp://www.sba.gov/


have monies to disburse to different relatives/friends from dead uncle, just need to know how to state in a warm way that this uncle/friend has left you a certain amount of money.  This was a dear loving Uncle and very dear friend and this was just his way of remembering some of his dearest and closest relatives and friends upon his dimise.

I'm not an expert on proper etiquette, but if it were me, I would say, as you know, Uncle Jeebers has passed on. Upon his request, please accept this monetary gift to have and do with as you wish.


I always hear that the universe is constantly expanding but am curious as to what it expands into.

As a corollary to Chris' answer; It has recently been concluded that in fact the universe will go on expanding forever, there will be no reverse followed by a "big crunch" because there is not enough mass to precipitate this.\n\nAs for what the universe is "expanding into", this is a question based on the belief that all things must be finite, which is probably a limitation of our minds. There doesn't have to be a "there" there. If it makes you feel better you can imagine an infinite "ether" into which we are expanding.  \n\nAs a self-proffesed "curious" person you should probably read some Richard Feynman.

Excavated sites at Qataban, Timna, and Marib (the ancient capital of Sheba). Thousands of inscriptions from walls and rocks in Northern Arabia have also been collected. Reliefs and votive bowls used in worship of the "daughters of Allah" have also been discovered. The three daughters, al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat are sometimes depicted together with Allah the Moon-god represented by a crescent moon above them. The archeological evidence demonstrates that the dominant religion of Arabia was the cult of the Moon-god.\n\n\nIs this true ?


I think well actually i know i have a mild case of ocd and was wanting to talk to others about it its crazy like i just wash my hands all the time nothing serious but it would be nice to talk to someone else with it

I don't really want to talk to you, but I can sympathize...I don't wash my hands all the time, but I will leave for work and come back into my house multiple times to ensure I've unplugged my hair dryer...or at night, I'll go out on the balcony multiple times to ensure I've actually turned off my BBQ after using it...same thing with the oven.


Personally I would tell him to screw, but that's just me.

If my cat OK'd the use of her litter box....maybe. If Bush came to my house I would love to ask him some questions about 911 - why won't the FBI release the various security cam tapes from along the flight path of the "plane" that hit the pentagon (gas station, hotel, VA dept of transportion and others all had video confiscated by FBI on 9/11/01) - there's at least 4 of them out there - what are they hiding?  also - what were the details of the military training exercise that was taking place on 9/11 where Cheney was given command of FEMA, NORAD, and FAA for the purposes of the exercise - where planes were supposed to be hijacked and flown into WTC - sort of a strange coincidence - care to talk about it? Maybe it was just all manufactured and allowed to happen....the "new pearl harbor" written about in 1999 by the PNAC - the radical D.C. think tank whose members include Cheney, Jeb Bush, Wolfowitz, and Rumsfeld...hmmmmmm....


I'm not entirely sure I know what the question is... it's very short, but here's a shot:\n\n1) Computer training (like a register POS system or a CD rom that works you through a practice or Q and A training sessin)\n2) On-the-job training (usually peer-to-peer, but sometimes manager-to-peer).\n3) Mentorship training sessions\n4) Role-playing sessions (peer-to-peer or manager-to-employee). \n5) Training manuals and memos. \n\nAnd, as a bonus, there are training seminars and retreats.


I really love him and its hard to let him go

i know its hard but let him go.  hes just not that into you


My dad is sure that the "trippy" band Vanilla Fudge made a really psychedelic version of the hit song "Hey Joe"?  Is this true?  If so, where can I find it? Thanks a lot.

No, never happened. There's a laundry list of performers who have (Love, The Byrds, Hendrix, Deep Purple just to mention a few), but VF isn't one of them.\nYour Dad must have been thinking of the band "Love"...they were about as trippy as you could get!


I Love flower, poems Teddy's and Football players...

There are three reasons listed, at the site provided below, why it is impossible for a mosquito to transfer HIV.\n\nhttp://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~insects/aids.htm\n\nHIV is a virus, and, as we’ve mentioned in other questions and answers, HIV doesn’t do so well outside the human body. Once in the mosquito, the HIV would die very quickly. The mosquito never becomes HIV-infected, and nobody has ever become HIV-infected from a mosquito bite.\n\nhttp://hivinsite.ucsf.edu/insite?page=ask-05-11-09-02\n\nWhen a mosquito ingests HIV-infected blood, the virus dies (unlike malaria, which lives in the mosquito's intestinal system and is re-injected out in its oral fluid).  The mechanical procedure of feeding wipes blood off of the mosquito's proboscis--it is retracted into a sheath.  Even in geographical areas where mosquitoes proliferate, HIV is still seen only in sexual or blood-sharing adults. \n\nhttp://www.ode.state.or.us/opportunities/grants/hklb/hiv-aids/hivqandas.aspx


and what was that experience like for you?

I was a smoker for what seemed to be eternity.  The worst was smoking around someone who was attempting to quit.  They would claim it didn't bother them, insist I light up, and then drool and twitch during each drag I took.  It was painful for both of us.  On the other hand, I have also been around smokers after I first stopped smoking.  It was pure torture.  Just the smell of the cigarette alone was enough to send me into tremors.  Sometimes I would break down and bum a cigarette.  I couldn't get away with that too often because I'd get the "Oh, so you didn't quit smoking you just quit buying" speech.  Even when I wasn't around smokers, my mind would obsess about smoking.  I'd think to myself, maybe I'll just have one after dinner.  Or, maybe I'll just smoke when I have a few drinks.  I'll just keep an emergency pack in the freezer just in case I really need one.  Well, eventually all the obsessing ended and I came to the realization that I'm better off not smoking.  But, truth be known, there are still some times when I'm sipping some Pinot, watching the sunset when a nice Dunhill would hit the spot.  *sigh*


I am that poster. I just want to make my case. I'm not a terrorist, I really disprove of their methods. Im just a teangirl who wanted to raise a debate. By asking extreme questions and hoping people would give me interesting answers. I did not mean to offend or scare any one. If you read my posts careful I never said I would bomb the The usA, just asked should someone? Obviously the answer should be no! i was asking questions in a fanatical Islamic style because I was hoping muslims would correct me and tell me that Islam was not like that. And a true muslim doesnt hate the west! And that these terrorist are wrong. Because unfortunatly many people beleif the opinions I expressed are islamic. I really wanted to just prove them wrong. Sorry if I offended anyone.\n\n\nI'm not worried about the FBI, because i have no conection and never will (well except if they spend all the time chasing me and not real terrorist!) However I would be upset if I lost my yahoo account! I WONT DO IT AGAIN

You make me laugh.\n\nI knew you were not a terrorist nor would you ever be one. I knew you just wanted attention, thus that is why I awnsered your questions they way I did. \n\nThe funny thing is I do the same thing cept in a totally opposite mannor. I awnser my questions as right wing and as hateful as possible. \n\nYou want to know what is ironic, you said I was racist because of my remarks about mexicans, I am mexican. Thanks for the 10 points though. \n\n~peace~


My favorite TV program.\nPretty obvious hint:\n2,3 main investigators, aired from 1993. Very famous, created by "C".\n\nNow what is your favorite TV programme?

yours is the x files. mine would be either without a trace or csi-new york


I travel 75% of the time.  I work with my employees on site, they go home to thier families and I go to an empty hotel. I work sometimes but not always up for that.  What do other business travelers do?  I'm in my mid-30's and even tried computer games!

When I was on the road as a consultant, I took a lot of books with me. I really learned to appreciate reading. You can also get a list of places of interest - AAA will provide this to members free of charge - and check them out. Also if you have a hobby that is easily transported you can try that.


Oxygen gas is compressed in a piston-cylinder device from an initial state of 0.8 m3/kg and 25°C to a final state of 0.1 m3/kg and 287°C. Determine the entropy change of the oxygen during this process. Assume constant specific heats.  How do I do the calculations?!

This formula might help\n\nchange in S=(m1)(c1)(ln(Tf/Tc))+(m2)(c2)(ln(Tf/Tc))\nm1 & m2=substance mass in this case oxygyn gass (O2)=15.999(2)\nc1 & c2 are spcific heats\nTc =cold temp\nTh = Hot Temp\nTf=((m1)(c1)(Tc)+(m2)(c2)(Th))/((m1)(c1)+(m2)(c2))\n\nI'm assuming m^3/kg is the pressure (Volume/Mass) ???\n\nhope this helps!!


which are what? which is the upper and which is the lower\nalso what seismic boundary seperates the two layers

your question is a little confused , but here goes...\n\nthe lithospere is the name for the outer/upper layer of the earths surface. It has 2 compositional layers, the CRUST, the upper solid layer, and the MANTLE, the lower molten layer. They are separated by the MOHO DISCONTINUITY. the moho discontinuity diffracts earthquake waves, which is why it is believed that the mantle is composed of molten rocks (other waves, such as sound and light waves are diffracted when crossing the boundary between a solid/liquid or liquid /gas, so it is believed there is a change of state at the moho). The Moho occurs at a depth of about 200-300 km beneath the earths surface.\n\nMost plates do have oceanic and continental lithosphere, the difference is only that oceanic is under the sea, and continental is on land, if you consider that the deepest ocean, and the highest mountain are both roughly 3 miles deep/high, and the lithosphere is about 300 miles deep , you will see that defining  a plate as oceanic or continental has little impact on its overall composition or behaviour.\n\nIn short the crust is the upper, the mantle is the lower , the moho is the boundary\n\n\n**\n\nin answer to bertrum ( see below) the North Sea is hardly an ocean, continents usually have a 'continental shelf' around them, which is considered geologically to be part of the continent, and beyond which the true ocean starts, the North Sea covers  part of the continental shelf of the European Plate


I would like to hear who you think, and why? If you think they should trade, what should the trade be?

Although there are many rumors of the Houston Texans taking Mario Williams with the first pick, they should take Reggie Bush. Reggie Bush has been the consensus #1 pick since the Rose Bowl at the end of his magnificent USC career. Bush put up a very strong performance on his pro day, running well and wowing in the bench press (24 repetitions of 225 pounds). The Texans had a good visit with him after his workout, and the team is expected to start negotiating a contract in the coming days. Houston coach Gary Kubiak told Bush he envisions using the multi-talented star in the same manner the Trojans did – 30-plus touches split between running back, wide receiver and special teams. Obviously, their man is Reggie Bush.


okaye well i like this guy who goes to my church and he is sooo sweet to me. we talk for hours on end every night.\nbut i am 13\nhe is 21\nhe is still part of our youth group and that is how we met   my mom of course doesnt approve. what do i do ??

Stay away.  Listen to your mom.  I know at your age you really don't want to, I didn't.  But she has been there and done that.


My co worker used our postage meter at work for her personal use. Should I report her? Or let it go. She used it for maybe 10 invitations. 39 cents each.\nthanks desperately need advice.

Keep out of it. She'll get cought sooner or later.\n\nOnce, back in college I had a co-worker that stole sodas from the company fridge and she got caught. For the longest time she had been taking everything from  post its to manilla folders, diskettes and even staples but she finally got caught with the soda and I didnt have to say a word. \n\nEverything done in the dark will come to the light.


i take vitamins, but i never have energy. i'm accused of being lazy, but i just feel tired constantly. is there anything i can do to feel better & have more energy?   thanks for answers.

You may want to see a doctor.. you may have TATT (Tired All The Time).  Feeling tired all the time is such a common presenting symptom that TATT has become the universal acronym. Most cases have a non-organic cause, but consider the phsyical possibilities.


Why do people on here answer a question that they have no idea to the answer.........People it is only two points if you don't know the d*** answer then don't answer it.

The answerers who can do no justice to a question only answer for the 2 point value and others will for the sake of ignorance.  That isn't to say that all who answer with a wrong answer did so knowing they knew nothing...there are those who know it all!  \n\nI asked a question the other day in music and had a user post a nasty, trashy answer about her sexual nature.  It is the same old thing over and over...intelligence and the inept conception that ignorance is bliss.  \n\nIt is only 2 points afterall...but there are those point junkies that have nothing to offer only to gain here.


I really like the Payton Manning commercials where he is cheering in the grocery store and outside the restaurant and things.  I also like the t-mobile cell phone commericial with the cheerleader who just keeps talking.  What's your favorite/most memorable commercial?

I saw one that had a bunch of cowboys on horseback trying to herd a bunch of cats!!! All of us were laughing so hard that nobody remembered what the commercial was about.


I'm talking of mnemo techniques where you associate pictures to numbers. Like a wheel represents 0, a candle represents 1, a swan represents 2, etc.\n\nI know how to learn these as an adult, but are there any strategies adapted to children?

You are on the right track...Then make exaggerated stories about the objects that represent the numbers in sequence to make the children better remember. The more the stories are exaggerated, the better the children will remember the numbers.


Compute the Taylor series for f(x)= sq root (x)  about x=1.  Determine where the series sconverges absolutely, converges conditionally, and diverges.  Hint: 2(k!)=2*4*6...(2k-2)*2k.   Also 1<2, 3<4, 5<6,..., 2k-1<2k should help you out with a comparision. Good luck!


I have had small brown spots that have appeared at the corners of the mouth. And I hope no one will pull a joke on not cleaning the mouth!!!!!

The NVA took Saigon on this day in 1975. Whose boots were last to leave?

Some think it was MSG John Valdez.  Actually, while he may have officially been the last soldier out, there were US Diplomats behind him.  There may also still have been soldiers in Vietnam alive when he left.


i saw it but i would definitely say scary movie 3 is better...

scary movie 4 was so dumb!!!! i was so pissed!!!! it is nothing like 1 An 2 thats because keenan ivory wayans didnt make it and the wayans brothers were not in it. this new director needs to be ashamed of himself for making such crap like this. no body can ever top the wayans brothers, it was so funny that it was even rated R. 3 and 4 tried to hard to be funny. i still dont know what the DA** movie was about they just threw anything together


I really don't know how to do this! and my bf teases me! how do you do thenm? and can it be laerned?

to give one that will go away relatively quickly, just suck hard on the skin, which will make it turn red, but not too much. to give one that will last a long time, and be very noticable/red, you can actually bite the skin (pinch it between your teeth) while sucking on it. this not only leaves a good mark due to the bite (although it will not look like teethmarks), but it pulls the skin out a bit into your mouth, where you can get better suction on it. BE CAREFUL: the harder you "bite", and the harder you suck on the skin, the redder it gets, and too red and dark might attract attention


What are the best engineering universities in the country...and in what particular aspect of engineering would you recommend getting into?  (i.e. mechanical, chemical, biomedical, etc.)?


just wondering since it seem he dissapeared this year

I don't believe so.  I just checked Yahoo! sports, and it lists him as a Houston Rocket, but he was out all last year with an injury.\n\nHere's the link:\n\nhttp://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3019


everybody has confidence in me, but i don´t have confidence in myself. most people i know tell me i have potential, and i know i have, but i still don´t believe in me. what should i do?

you have a very low self-esteem... but the good thing is, you KNOW you have potential, you'll just have to have faith in yourself... why don't you try something that would make you use your talents/potentials... for example, if you can act, then go and do an audition to a play or something... or if you're good at school, try applying for a scholarship program... in that way, when you get to achieve a certain goal of yours, your selfesteem will be increased... love what you are doing, love yourself... take risks... its part of living... sometimes, we have to fall in order for our body and heart to be prepared and be strong...;o)


i jus want to get advice from medical people who is familar with my problems which are co-pd,asthma,chronicbroncitis.I also suffer from depression axiety disorder.i also have a bountiful supply of ostio arthritis. PLEASE HELP ME I~M AFRAID.

If you are still frightened,ask a close friend to go with you to the doctors. It is important to make an appointment as soon as you can, and you will get all the answers from the doctors. Good luck!


if so why?\nif not, can socialism be implamented with out a totalitarianism government?

Socialism is completely unrelated to totalitarianism. The same goes for communism. The terms socialist and communist refer primary to economic systems, not political systems.\n\nSo you could have a "totalitarian communist state" (like the USSR) or a "totalitarian capitalist state" (like Mussolini's Italy).\n\nYou definitely CAN implement socialism under a free, democratic government. Most countries in Europe are at least semi-socialistic. In Canada there is "socialized medicine." In fact, the US embraces a lot of aspects of socialism. Entitlement programs like welfare, unemployment, Medicare/Medicaid, and social security are all socialist policies.\n\nA truly socialist government gauruntees its citizens basic needs like food, clothing, shelter, and health care, are met.


Sometimes my computer freezes, and i have DSL so when i log on to my account and click on INTERNET EXPLORER... it takes a while for it to open... and so do all the other programs... i run my anti-virus program that came with the SBC YAHOO DSL and it says i dont have any... but im not sure if viruses cause my computer to work this way

Antivirus softwares are only effective if you update them daily.Even then the computer is still vulnarable because the antivirus cannot detect threats from viruses that was made just 5 minutes ago and released on to the net.\n\nAntivirus sometimes itself can act strange(ex:it will detect its own files as viruses, try to clean them and get corrupted).Sometimes Antiviruses takes up a lot of RAM (as it has 4 to 6 programs of itself running in the background) This may cause freeze.\n\nMost viruses are designed to work in background pulling as much less RAM as possible and if it has a smart programming it will mix itslef with Your Files on the Hard Disk.\n\nI suggest goto run > type: sfc /scannow \nThis will repair some win files damaged by viruses.


Peopla suffer from many kind of diseases espicially the poor people because of the doctor. Nowadays their is hard no good doctors!The government of all country should provide good doctor in cheap so that poor people can also see the doctors and to get a treatment to be healtly acttually people suffer because of their envirnment and because of their surroundings which has losts of pollution...and for this pollution people are suffering... i belive to give poor peoples good homes,shelter and offcorse good treatment.\ni am a 13 years old girl named zara...\nthank you for reading this command...

It is not the governments job to take care of people! This country was built on the rugged individual and not the nanny state. I would never want the government to think it knows what is best for me. There is nothing stopping people from seeing a doctor and making payments. \nMy father had no insurance for years with us 7 kids and that's how they made it work. We have it so much better in this country than anywhere else in the world. When you grow up you will realize this.

I had strep throat last week and now I have the worst cough that keeps me up all night. I can't stand taking cough syrup from the store b/c it keeps me groggy all day. Any suggestions?

My dr said not to buy store cough syrup bc it doesn't work. if your over 21, my dr said to take a couple of teaspoon's of whiskey, a teaspoon of lemon juice and a teaspoon of honey and heat it up. it tastes like crap, but it works for me.

I guess because guys are TURKEYS.?\nAt least chicks are CUTE and cuddly unlike weird looking turks.\n Yeah I'm not sure what's up with the whole bird thing...\nBut if you get called a chic you know why    ; )\n\nHope this makes you feel better Miss SassySara-


Are there any Iraqi people on yahoo answers? and can you please advise me of your ideas.

I'm not an Iraqian, but I have spoke to a few military personal, and have seen answers on here from some. (All of whom have been deployed to Iraq). Their collective thoughts on it is that, yes, the majority DO want the coalition there. The media, however, doesn't portray this as such. \nI'm sure there will always be some out there who disagree, which is okay.


me and my gf have dinner i cook her favortie food and iwe by candle light under the stars we laugh and talk of are future and we get up and dance holding on to each other then after we dance i pick her up and carry her to bed where we make slow passoniate love all night and falling asleep in each others arms so is it a good idea

Awwwwww. That sounds so0o0o0o cute! I'ma little jealous of your gf now. (pouts)


How come if you ask a general question, people get all pissy? Or they think you're stupid? Can't someone just ask people's opinions without them beings pricks? Just because you ask a question doesn't mean it happend to you!

People are jerks.  But if you ask a question that can't be answered, or is phrased poorly, or your spelling and grammar are awful, you open the door to criticism and abuse.\n\n"Be silent and be assumed a fool, or speak and prove it."\n\nUnless you are really looking for an answer, maybe you shouldn't ask a question.  And if you do ask, ask the right question, or you may get mean responses.  Ask a stupid question, and get a stupid answer.

when i went to the movies i couldn't hold my b/fs hand because they were sweating! how can i make that stop? help! i hate when that happens but why does it happen?

I tell you to get the anti-perspirant Certain Dri. You will never sweat from your hands. Has no smell. Has no residue so it does not stain your clothes at all. It is a roll on you can get at any drug store in the anti-perspirant section. You put it on your hands at night. Go to sleep. Wake up and take a shower. The residue of the deoderant is gone, but you don't sweat at all for a couple of days. And when I say you don't sweat or smell I mean it.  I have used the product for over a decade, and have had no unhealthy skin responses from using it.


They say the sea wasp is the most venomous but to me the arctic lion's mane jellyfish has got to be the baddest because of its size. Portuguese manowar is bad too, actually any cnaridan, not just "true" jellyfish. Then there's irukanji.

the Australian Box Jelly has the potential to grow the longest tentacles and has more snideocytes (stingers) per tentacle than any other jelly, including the infamous, Portuguese Man-o-War.


I snooped in my then-boyfriend's email, and found he had posted a profile of himself on a cheating website. He even used our photo with me photoshopped out. His profile said he was in a good relationship but the "fire" had gone out, and he was looking for a one night stand. We were living together 2 years at the time. I moved out, he got counseling, swore nothing had happened in terms of meeting up with these people or sex, told me it meant nothing. He basically just had cybersex with these girls. It took a long time, but we went for counselling. He admitted he was looking for an ego boost from these anonomous girls, and that I could have done a better job at making him feel wanted. He had to admit that he wasn't treating me fairly either. Now we are together, and married in February (18  after "the incident"). Couldn't be happier! The "incident" helped us confront problems we'd been denying, but I can't stop checking his email secretly. Should I stop? I "trust" him but I can't stop!

I think a lot of people feel safe and anonymous on websites like those to explore thoughts or curiousities without feeling like they are "really" doing anything wrong...since it is a computer screen...but the mental side of it...can destroy a relationship..yes you should forgive..but NOT forget..you know what he is truly like ..his thoughts...when you have your back turned..so be smart...but don't become obsessed over what he "might" be thinking or doing....then YOU could be the one to destroy the relationship and actually Create what you Fear most


That is if Adam and Eve are the first ppl. In the first chapter of genisis no food was off limits to man but when adam was created then he had limits to what he ate. Adam and eve could have not spawn that many children in such a short time, and if they did plz state the bible verse from which it came.

Adam and Eve were the FIRST people... that did not mean that God could not have created more the same way. Its just a thought:)


It is a rag on, and the tape line is about 6in. long in a vocal point in the room. I was thinking wallpaper glue or something. Any suggestions ?  Thanks

If I understood what you meant I might know something...


Read Gen.6:4 if your answer is "no" and then tell me where the giants went, that they were able to return after the flood.

The Christian disciple Jude wrote about them when he mentioned “the angels that did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place.” (Jude 6) Why did they come to the earth? What wrong desire did Satan put in their heart to get them to leave the fine positions they had in heaven?\n\nThe Bible lets us know when it says: “The sons of the true God began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking; and they went taking wives for themselves, namely, all whom they chose.” (Genesis 6:2) Yes, the angels put on fleshly bodies, and they came to earth to have sexual relations with beautiful women. But such love affairs were wrong for angels. This was an act of disobedience. The Bible indicates that what they did was just as wrong as the homosexual acts of the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. (Jude 6, 7) What resulted?\n\nWell, babies were born to these angels and their wives. But the babies were different. They kept growing bigger until they became giants, yes, wicked giants. The Bible calls them “mighty ones who were of old, the men of fame.” These giants tried to force everyone to be bad as they were. As a result, the Bible says that “the badness of man was abundant in the earth and every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only bad all the time.” (Genesis 6:4, 5) So Jehovah brought the Flood. The giants, or “Nephilim,” and all the wicked people were drowned. But what happened to the angels that had come to earth?\n\nThey did not drown. They put aside their fleshly bodies and returned to heaven as spirit persons. But they were not allowed to become part of God’s organization of holy angels again.\n\nSince the time of the Flood, God has not permitted these demon angels to take on fleshly bodies, so they cannot directly satisfy their unnatural sexual desires. Yet they can still exercise dangerous power over men and women.

Don't worry, I'm Catholic 2, but a couple of weeks ago there was a documentory on the ABC, it was called "Who Wrote The Bible", what did u think about it.

Actually, two writers of the Gospels in the biblical canon were writing their accounts of Jesus based off the accounts they heard from the apostles and divine inspiration. The Gospels were all written maybe 40 years after Jesus's death, but I believe that God intended for those specific four Gospels to be in the Bible and therefore I believe they are legitimate.


what kind of degrees and experience are recommended and nessacery to become a warden of a prison

Most institutions require correctional officers to be at least 18 to 21 years of age and a U.S. citizen; have a high school education or its equivalent; demonstrate job stability, usually by accumulating 2 years of work experience; and have no felony convictions. Promotion prospects may be enhanced by obtaining a postsecondary education.\n\nThe Federal Bureau of Prisons requires entry-level correctional officers to have at least a bachelor’s degree; or 3 years of full-time experience in a field providing counseling, assistance, or supervision to individuals; or a combination of these two requirements.\n\nCorrectional officers must be in good health. Candidates for employment are generally required to meet formal standards of physical fitness, eyesight, and hearing. In addition, many jurisdictions use standard tests to determine applicant suitability to work in a correctional environment. Good judgment and the ability to think and act quickly are indispensable. Applicants are typically screened for drug abuse, subject to background checks, and required to pass a written examination.\n\nFederal, State, and some local departments of corrections provide training for correctional officers based on guidelines established by the American Correctional Association and the American Jail Association. Some States have regional training academies that are available to local agencies. At the conclusion of formal instruction, all State and local correctional agencies provide on-the-job training, including training on legal restrictions and interpersonal relations. Many systems require firearms proficiency and self-defense skills. Officer trainees typically receive several weeks or months of training in an actual job setting under the supervision of an experienced officer. However, specific entry requirements and on-the-job training vary widely from agency to agency.\n\nAcademy trainees generally receive instruction in a number of subjects, including institutional policies, regulations, and operations, as well as custody and security procedures. New Federal correctional officers must undergo 200 hours of formal training within the first year of employment.

I have asked how to lose weight and lots of people say to drink lots of water, why? And what are other advantages for drinking water?

Water is consumed in virtually every metabolic and chemical process your body engages in. Drinking water will fuel those processes and give you more energy. When you excercise (which of course you are, if you wish to lose weight), you comsume vast amounts of water, usually 2-3 times as much as you sweat out, and you sweat more than you think.\n\nThe process of "digesting" water is catabolic, meaning it consumes calories, so drinking water between meals will keep you from binge-eating later and it will burn a small ammount of calories to boot.\n\nWater is the most pure liquid you can drink, the benefits of water go on and on. Everyone should drink several glasses worth every day.

What are they going to do this time?
