how to solve systems of equations by substitution and eliminastion

Substitution Method\nSolve this system of equations:\n3y - 2x = 11\ny + 2x = 9\n \n\n1.  Solve one of the equations for either "x =" or "y =".\nThis example solves the second equation for "y ="\n \n\n3y - 2x = 11\ny = 9 - 2x\n \n\n2.  Replace the "y" value in the first equation by what "y" now equals.  Grab the "y" value and plug it into the other equation. \n\n \n\n3(9 - 2x) - 2x = 11\n \n3.  Solve this new equation for "x".\n \n\n(27 - 6x) - 2x = 11\n27 - 6x - 2x = 11\n27 - 8x = 11\n-8x = -16\nx = 2\n4.  Place this new "x" value into either of the ORIGINAL equations in order to solve for "y".  Pick the easier one to work with!  \n\n \n \n\ny = 9 - 2(2)\ny = 9 - 4\ny = 5\n \n\n5.  Check:  substitute x = 2 and y = 5 into BOTH ORIGINAL equations.  If these answers are correct, BOTH equations will be TRUE!\n   \n\n3y - 2x = 11\n3(5) - 2(2) = 11\n15 - 4 = 11\n11 = 11\n\ny + 2x = 9\n5 + 2(2) = 9\n5 + 4 = 9\n9 = 9 \n\nElimination:\n x - 2y = 14\nx + 3y = 9\n \n\na.  First, be sure that the variables are "lined up" under one another.  In this problem, they are already "lined up".\n \n\nx - 2y = 14\nx + 3y = 9\n \nb.  Decide which variable ("x" or "y") will be easier to eliminate.  In order to eliminate a variable, the numbers in front of them (the coefficients) must be the same or negatives of one another.  Looks like "x" is the easier variable to eliminate in this problem.\n  \n\nx - 2y = 14\nx + 3y = 9\n \n\nc.  Now, subtract to eliminate the "x" variable.  \n(Remember:  when you subtract signed numbers, you change the signs and follow the rules for adding signed numbers.)\n \n x - 2y = 14\n-x - 3y = - 9    \n\n    - 5y = 5  \nd.  Solve this simple equation.   \n\n-5y = 5\n   y = -1\n \n\ne.  Plug "y = -1" into either of the ORIGINAL equations to get the value for "x".\n   \n\nx - 2y = 14\nx - 2(-1) = 14\nx + 2 = 14\nx = 12\n \n\nf.  Check:  substitute x = 12 and y = -1 into BOTH ORIGINAL equations.  If these answers are correct, BOTH equations will be TRUE!\n   \n\nx - 2y = 14\n12 - 2(-1) = 14\n12 + 2 = 14\n14 = 14  \n\nx + 3y = 9\n12 + 3(-1) = 9\n12 - 3 = 9\n9 = 9

Among the comparisons between American Football and Rugby, I've never heard anyone talk about how bad injuries get in Rugby. In Football of course I can point to say, Joe Theismann or Y. A. Tittle or many, many others that just make folks who saw them cringe. Regale me with tales of rugby injuries that just make your skin crawl, lest I think that rugby players aren't as courageous as the men on the Gridiron.

Well, I'll start with a personal anecdote.  First game I played in college I had my head stepped on by my own damned scrumhalf, cleats and all, and was knocked out on the field.  I have also personally seen people have their faces cut open by elbows in a ruck, usually right above the eye.  Head wounds bleed quite a bit.  Another injury I have witnessed was from one of the girl ruggers here, who had her ear nearly torn off and then stitched back on. I'm not even bothering to mention the number of broken limbs, sprains, and their ilk. Also, for some statistics on Rugby injuries in Australia, check the link in the source.  \n\nNeedless to say, Rugby is a much more violent sport than Football, and it makes it just that much more fun to play.\n\nEdit:  Forgot to mention spearing, in which during a tackle a player is lifted by his legs and smashed head first into the ground.  It is illegal, but it happens.\n\nEdit:  Well, back in the late 19th century, England alone counted 71 rugby related deaths in three seasons.  I haven't been able to find a recent count, although I know that deaths do occur.  I didn't bother mentioning broken/twisted limbs because they are so common. You know, legs broken the wrong way with the bone sticking out, that sort of thing. I also know from playing that football players can't take a hit to save their lives.  They are too comfortable with all that padding.  You take it away and they break something or have something broken within two or three games.\n\nEdit:  I'm going to keep finding stuff to convince you how awesome the game is!  Buck Shelford had his sack cut open during a game by a boot spike, which left his testicle hanging out.  Doctors stitched him back up and he played the rest of the game.  Link is in the sources.


think aboout the makeup of an atom- spherical sort of objects orbiting an intense ball of energy in the center. now think about the makeup of a solar system, ours for example. we have planets of varying types and asteroids of varying types floating all around, orbiting the sun. could differnet types of planets be congruent to the different particles orbiting an atom? could the asteroids possible be congruent to quarks?\n\n i wonder if the ratio of energy to size in an average star would be congruent to the energy output of the average atoms nucleus, compared with its size? \n\nwhere could i get ahold of the numbers that would allow me to do these sorts of calculations?

I know what you're thinking. Is the solar system a molecule in a vastly larger scaled uber-universe. The answer is no. The physical characteristics of planets ect are different than the physical characteristics of protons ect.


well...I want to design a website in 1024X768 resolution\n\nwhat can I do to have 800X600 users see the same of my website without gaps or anything that will ruin the design?

unfortunately there is no solution for this problem.\n\nThe browsers do their best for accommodating different resolution by giving scroll bars ( thats least we can expect from them or any windows/GUI product manufacturers ).\n\nIt all depends on how the user set up resolution on his local computer. We cannot detect it, as with today's technology neither write dynamic code for different resolution in HTML. But in Java applets we can write applet code just in case the user resized his browser window. This also is not possible in HTML. So best way to proceed is to test the code in advance to the anticipated users settings of computer like the resolution, browser type, screen size, dynamic code generating large number of GUI items in HTML....\n\nWe can run and see how it looks.\n\nMore over you don't even want to do this thing. Cz every person chooses his size of monitor and resolution. We code what is possible from our side and its users who have to decide what they want to see and how they want to see. They may have a browser that might not even enable Java Applets.


in my case:\nI'm waiting for 2 movies\nthe Da Vinci Code\n& LOTR:The Hobbit

Well there's a few I can't wait for.  Such as Final Destination 3, The Da Vinci Code, Pirates Of The Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest, Superman Returns, V For Vendetta & X-Men 3.  I believe Da Vinci, Pirates, & V will all be really good.

I need to know how to use the light feature on my laptop, it's a IBM Thinkpad T130. I don't have a manual, and I need to know how to download or find a manual someone gave this to me and I don't know how to turn on the light, it has a light on it. I saw it in use before it was given to me. thanks

Usually by using the function [fn] key (perhaps near the lower left corner) and another key.  Look for a key that looks like part of the sun, press the function key and then press the sun key.  See if the light lights.  To turn it off, do it again.


I like mines its pretty good, we have a little bit people in the school which pretty much sucks, but for the most part its a decent school. Could improve on a lot more stuff tho.

Well, I graduated quiet some time ago, but yeah I liked my high schools.  I went to five in the course of four years, and they were all pretty decent more or less.


i didn't know that clothing had an afterlife (except for that lime green spandex unitard i wore in the sixth grade).

Usually you see spirits as they were in life. So if they have clothes on, its because thats how they were.

Neurologists have discovered that the brain of a child is not developed enough to make decisions such as whether or not to get married. Medical doctors tell us that the female organs are not developed enough at that age to accept an adult organ and that damage will result if they have intercourse. It is not only a horrible crime for an adult man to have sex with a child, but can any Muslim father out there honestly say that he would permit a 50 year old man to marry and have sex with his 9 year old daughter? I'd really like to know the answer to this question as I am thinking of becoming a Muslim, but this fact just disgusts me. How can a man of God abuse such a little child like that? Should all Muslims follow this "sunnah" of the Prophet?

This is a personal response, not a cut and paste, as I hope you will read the full reply.\n\nFirstly, 'Aisha (peace be upon her) was an adult when the marriage was consummated, though she entered into the Prophet's (peace be upon him) house several years before consummation. Her young age distresses many people today, and given the current climate, it is understandable why.\n\nHowever, I ask you a question, who is your frame of reference when you think of a nine year old? Think about this carefully. Have you ever had the experience of meeting a nine year old from Mauritania? Where individuals in their teens are judges and there is no adolescence?\n\nIt should be noted that adolescence is an artificial period that has been injected into the lives of our youth due to the current education system (you can read The Disappearance of Childhood by Neil Postman if you would like further details on this). The reality is that once individuals are pubescent, they are adults. If they act like children, then it is due to their upbringing and social environment.\n\nA key feature of Arabia fifteen hundred years ago is that they were an oral_ culture, and I wonder whether the neurologists you mention have ever met such an individual. They would develop a deep understanding and eloquence in language at a very young age – are you aware of the affect that language has on maturity? They would memorize massive amounts of information (thousands upon thousands of lines of poetry) at a very young age. Did you know that memorizing in youth actually creates more synapses in the brain? The youth of Arabia fifteen hundred years ago fought in battles, got married and took care of their families in their teens. This is historical reality, and was a norm of that society.\n\nTo respond to the statement that doctors say that the organs are not developed – then how is it that the youngest woman to conceive was only five years old? (Such relations are prohibited in Islam as the youngest a woman is considered to be an adult is nine.)\n\nIf you study the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) you will see the wisdom in the marriage. 'Aisha (peace be upon her) narrates over two thousand Prophetic traditions – second only to Abu Hurayra (peace be upon him). Of the one hundred thousand plus companions of the Prophet, she was from the less than ten that issued legal verdicts (Fatwa). She would question the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in a way that other people would not, and because of this, we have gained greater understanding of verses of the Qur'an.\n\nTo respond to the various accusations that are leveled against the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), remember that his first wife was twenty five years older than him, and every wife after 'Aisha (peace be upon her) was a widow.\n\nYou may contend that only someone that is eighteen (as an example) should get married. I ask why? If your answer is related to maturity, and I am pretty certain that it will be, then what happens if  maturity is found in some that is fifteen (or younger) – should they be allowed to get married? If the answer is no, then your problem with the marriage lies with the taboos of your society, and not because you think that a nine year old can't make any decisions for themselves.


I just came back from Jamaica, and when I was there I noticed that only my nephew, and myself got bitten. But my other relatives didn't. Does it have to do with the fact that My nephew and i arn't born in Jamaica and all my other relatives are? We were all in the same room with mosquitoes that came through the doors, and they never got bitten but my nephew and I did.

The itch you feel is a reaction to the mosquitioes' saliva and your skin. I don't think I have ever heard of anyone that is immune to it. Also, you getting bitten has alot to do with your body temp, and odor. If you have a sweet smelling perfume on or emit a sweet odor, you attract mosquitoes and those wearing no scents and bug spray of course, are more likely to not get bitten.

I've been using BlinkList for bookmarking for a couple of months and love it.  I'd signed up to del.icio.us before that but never really got into using it, so don't  know much about it.  It seems like BlinkList has it all over del.icio.us, but del.icio.us is so popular, maybe I'm missing something?

Here is a PDF that shows the differences between 17 different social bookmarking sites available. \n\nhttp://www.irox.de/roxomatic/856\n\nBlinklist you can make comments on the bookmark where del.icio.us you can not. del.icio.us there is an archive for other people's feeds. del.icio.us you can only import links from Firefox and Netscape. del.icio.us you can view RSS feed as HTML. Blinklist is easier to include in homepage. \n\nThere are a bunch of other differences I could see from that document.


this inculdes everything from the middle eastern people in the airport to DWI's (driving while black)

what do u mean by DWI(driving while black)?


I need a man that can do all that plus more. He also needs to be hot and faithful.

What does he get out of the deal? In return for all that attention are you going to take on the responsibility of looking after him financially? You don't want a man, you want a servant.


my pc is old,What are requriments, Methods etc

Most BIOS are upgradable using updates from the manufacturer.  Keep in mind that BIOS is not software...it's firmware (software embedded into a programmable controller).  As such, you won't be adding any more features or functionality.  It will only fix bugs with older firmware revisions.  You will still be limited by the original specifications of the motherboard (e.g. CPU speed, CPU type, memory limits, memory speed, memory type, etc.).

I pulled a muscle in my neck and have went to the chiropracter, tried heat & ice, brought a Dr.Hoe's double massager off TV for $150 (which I am returning because it doesn't work). \n\nIt seems nothing is taking the pain and stiffness away. Does anyone know of anything I can do? \n\nIt has been 3 weeks so waiting it out isn't working.

heating pad and a wet towel has worked for me.  You can't get rid of all the pain but you can lessen it to a more liveable level.


I seriously wouldnt and it is not a sin to answer this quetion as long as yu do not act upon it.\nI am a muslim and have no thoughts of converting.\nThis is just and opinion question

No I will not change...\nCause Religion is for joining hearts.\nAll religion teach us the same lessons.\nEvery religion is great as long as u respect it.\nRemember People made religions not god.\nGod is one. almighty god.....


maybe they accidently show body parts they didn't intend to

Two brothers were talking. One said, "I am fed up with living in Birmingham because I have to drive all the time. Why don't we move to London?" His brother replied, "But that would mean that I would have to drive all the time."

The brothers were Siamese twins, joined at the side. They lived in Birmingham, Alabama. Because they drove on the right-hand side of the road the steering wheel was on the left-hand side of the car. The brother who sat on the left always drove. When they were in London, England, the other drove because the steering wheel was on the right-hand side of the car.


Why was Madison chosen as Wisconsin's State Capital and information about the town its self

Madison was created in 1836 when a former federal judge named James Duane Doty purchased over a thousand acres (4 km²) of swamp and forest land surrounding lakes Mendota, Monona, Kegonsa, and Waubesa, then known as the Four Lakes region, with the intention of building a new city on the site. Wisconsin Territory had been created earlier in the year, and the territorial legislature had convened in Belmont, Wisconsin. One of the legislature's tasks was to choose a permanent location for the territory's capital city. James Duane Doty lobbied aggressively for the legislature to select Madison as the new capital, offering buffalo robes to the freezing legislators and promising choice Madison lots at discount prices to undecided voters. He had James Slaughter plat two cities in the area, Madison and "The City of Four Lakes", near present-day Middleton. Despite the fact that Madison was still only a city on paper, the territorial legislature voted on November 28 in favor of choosing Madison for its capital largely because of its location halfway between the new and growing cities around Milwaukee in the east and the long established strategic post of Prairie du Chien in the west, and because of its location between the highly populated lead mining regions in the southwest and Wisconsin's oldest city, Green Bay in the northeast. Being named for a much-admired founding father who had just passed away, and having streets named after every founding father, also helped attract votes.\n\nThe cornerstone for the Wisconsin capitol building was laid in 1837, and the legislature first met there in 1838. Madison was incorporated as a village in 1846, with a population of 626. When Wisconsin became a state in 1848, Madison remained the capital city, and it became host to the University of Wisconsin. The Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad (a predecessor of what would become known as the Milwaukee Road) connected to Madison in 1854. Madison became a city in 1856, with a population of 6,863.

So, to recycle a can, I first need to wash it out so it can go in the bin.  Then the huge recycling truck has to drive and pick up all the bins and deliver them.  And then energy is used to sort and turn that aluminum into a raw reusable form.\n\nI would love to help the environment.  I just would like some pointers to actual data regarding whether the resources used and pollution created in recycling is worth the end result of the can not ending up in a dump.

The answer is YES\nPlease review the pdf link below:

I realize losing weight slowyly by dieting and exercise is the best way.  However, I really need a boost to get me going in the right direction is there anything out there that I can take or do?

If you want to try something a little unconventional and safe, and if you are a little adventurous, pesto shots!! I discovered this while dropping over half the carbs out of my diet. When you drop carbs, you have a severe energy drop before your body adjusts. I made a great deal of pesto at home one day and sat around with a friend eating more and more of it like dip! We had an abundance of spinach and basil, stuck it in a blender, added fresh parsley and oregano, a little salt, a bunch of olive oil, and hit the button. The benefit from this is a natural body high, a spike in your metabolism, a huge spike in vitamins, and you'll be clean as a whistle! Talk about flushing out your system! You can pretty much add whatever you want to make it tasty, just don't overdo the salt, it'll make you retain water. Oh, and drink lots of cold water. Besides boosting your metabolism because your body has to heat it up before it goes through, flushing your system out can dehydrate you. It's an easy way to start a healthier lifestyle.


I finally saw him at church in November and I still have feelings for him like I did before. Do you think the saying: If you love somebody, set them free. If they come back to you it's meant to be., is really good in this situation. \nI had one of those babies for school and my baby girl's birthday was the same day as his, March 17th.  And I think someone was trying to tell me something when I realized they had the same birthday.

the saying can be try in your case but make sure you dont make a fool of yourself.  chat him up, invite him to coffe/tea - something very casual that will show you if you still like him they way you thought, and will give him a idea of what kind of person you are.  But make sure you give him space - you dont want to scare him off. (also dont get your hopes up- a lot can happen in 2yrs and you may not like him after all)

why can't hackers be tracked down quicker? spyware, adware and virus creators beware...

Origins of rootkits\n\nThe term "rootkit" (also written as "root kit") originally referred to a set of recompiled Unix tools such as "ps", "netstat", "w" and "passwd" that would carefully hide any trace of the intruder that those commands would normally display, thus allowing the intruders to maintain "root" on the system without the system administrator even seeing them.\n\nGenerally now the term is not restricted to Unix based operating systems, as tools that perform a similar set of tasks now exist for non-Unix operating systems such as Microsoft Windows (even though such operating systems may not have a "root" account)

how can i calculate the power for  four blade rotating in a circular motion , what is the formula

There are actually several formulas I know of to calculate power.\n1. Work (Joules) divided by time (seconds)\n2. Force (Newtons) times velocity (meters per second)\n3. Current (Amperes) times voltage (Volts)\n4. Current squared times resistance (ohms)\n5. Voltage squared divided by resistance\n\nIn your case, applying the first formula gives you no power in the system since no work is being done unless the blades accelerate tangentially (centripetal force is not parallel to the direction of motion). If there is definitely a non-zero answer to this question, then use the second formula.

there's white and black, but there is also a world full of people of different races and every one has at least one that hates them.  That's racism.  No matter which one you are hating any other race makes you a racist.

I could dictate paragraphs on racism, as a topic - but you simply asked if it was "Ok for any race to hate any other race". \n\nI will give you a simple answer.  No.  It isn't "Ok".  Knowing that doesn't change anything.  \n\nI am a woman of a medium "pigment" (to quote a previous answerer) and this I know - I have no control over how someone acts, speaks or conducts themselves in my presence or toward me specifically.  \n\nThe only thing I can control is how I choose to respond.

I think thats y he left me but what can i do to make him fall in love with me all over again and what can i do to turn him on again?

Ms. Lacey, first of all, congratulations on bringing your baby into the world.  I'm sure he's a beautiful, strong boy.\n\nAt the same time, if his father left you because of the stretchmarks you got carrying his (his too) son, I'm sorry...he doesn't deserve you or your son.  \n\nThose marks have never bothered me in the least.  I know for a fact that they are noticed more by the new moms then they are by the dads, or men in general.\n\nI sure hope it wasn't because of a few hardly noticeable marks...that's so uncool...and, I'm sorry, Ms. Lacey, un-manly.


I'm sick of TV talk shows about men who cheat. I've had about 90% of women I've been with since high school cheat on me. I always find out, its like I sense it. I'm 38 and single, never married, I left my fiance' because she cheated. I don't trust women much because if given the chance, they'll cheat. Women are just better at lying about about than most guys. Why do they tell me they love me and that I'm such a good lover, then go out with girlfriends and pickup guys and cheat?????????

That whole idea where men are the main cheaters is all wrong. I do believe that men, and women both have the same disposition to strayed. But, women are just better in hiding, and lying.


Inevitably, I always end up with songs without identifying tags in iTunes.  I'm using OSX 10.2.8.  Is there software out there that I can use to identify unknown songs?

IF you happen to have an album of unknown tracks you can use a program such as "Eags On!" which searches various database for your song lengths and applies ID3 tags to thos esongs. Doesnt always work though and may not work for stand alone files, i am not sure if there is a version of OSX\n\nAlternatively itunes comes with a CDDB database lookup facitily- just enable it and that muight work.


Put a hungry lion, a hungry tiger, and a hungry grizzly bear (all the same sex) together in a large cage.  Who would win the fight?

Predators don't fight in a cage. They will just chillout in different corners.\n\nBUT IF THERE IS POSSIBLE WAY THAT THEY WILL FIGHT:\nthis is a problem about speed and resistance... \ntiger will win because is more peacefully it will not engage fight 1st... same as the bear... and the lion will attack the biggest, meaning the bear... between them lion has an advantage being faster... so lion wins... after this battle will not have enought speed to deal with the tigre so if they will engage a fight the tiger will win...


I need to know how I can get it so I can play the Narnia game, which I spent 40 minutes installing. So, where can I get it? Price? Is it downloadable? I am installing it on a laptop. It's fast on the internet, and is Windows XP. Please, I don't want to have wasted $50.00!!!

This isn't something you can download, you will need a graphics card that supports hardware pixel sharders, this is nothing you can upgrade on a laptop, I hate to say but unless you have a desktop you can install the game on there is nothing you can do to make it work on a laptop.  I know you won't like this but you will have to find a laptop that has at the very least a Radeon X600 or one with a nVidia mobility Go GeForce4, Go FX5700 or Go 6600 and up mobile graphics chip or play the game on a desktop.  \n\nFor a desktop, I like the following cards:\n\nAny modern graphics cards has hardware pixel shaders and texture and lightning features, assuming you have an AGP slot, check out the GeForce 6600 at $120 (AGP version) or the other GeFroce 6600 (PCIe version at $100).\n\nIf you don't want to spend that much you can get the Radeon 9600 (AGP version) for $58 after rebates.  Or the Radeon 9550 for $48 after rebates.\n\nIt depends on how much you want to spend but if you want my opinion, I would go with the GeForce 6600 but it is up to you.


if you have been with the same person for so long is it possible to find someone else and have the same feeling for them

I don't think so. If you love someone that much, you will never fall entirely out of it, if the relationship ends. You can never love that strong twice.


Are they devolving? It's enough to make me believe in intelligent design.

The Amishization* of America is happening rather fast.  The far right Christian coalition is afraid of science and most other fields of study so they do all that they can to interfer with education except those subjects that fit into their own very narrow biblical precepts. I am a Christian but I also believe in science.  This makes me suspect as far as far right Christians go.  Also being a Democrat is not acceptable since only Republicans can be Christians.  Some people call it the rise of the Anerican Christian-Taliban who are attempting to  take control of our democracy and establish a mind-police over us and put a Christian theocracy in place of our own government.  Men, not elected by the people, but, in their own minds, apponted by God to rule over us.  That is what the king system was supposedly. It is also how most middle east countries are set up. It is the dumbing down of America, by a fanatical few, to take us over and control us.\n(*Amish link below explains who and what the Amish are)


my friend lives 2 hours away we are 14 but i truely love her i want to be with her but i can't drive she doesn't know i luv her and i don't want to ruin our friendship. its difficult but i know shes the one if someone can help i would be most grateful thanks

Friendship is a beautiful thing and Love comes in many shades!  Since the two of you don't live close your best option would be to just continue being cool and see where it develops.  Both of you will continue to discover interesting things about eachother, and mutual love will blossom!  GIVE IT TIME! You've got so much of it! Good luck!


I believe its Drake's Equation...the one dealing with the probability of life elsewhere in the universe based on an assortment of factors.

it's pretty hard to remember this off the top of one's head, because there are a lot of terms, and a lot of the numbers are orders-of-magnitude, and who can keep track of all that?\n\nanyway the equation is N = R* fp * ne * fl * fi *  fc * L\n\nwhere\n\nN = The number of communicative civilizations\nR = The rate of formation of suitable stars (stars such as our Sun)\nfp = The fraction of those stars with planets. (Current evidence indicates that planetary systems may be common for stars like the Sun.)\nne = The number of Earth-like worlds per planetary system\nfl = The fraction of those Earth-like planets where life actually develops\nfi = The fraction of life sites where intelligence develops\nfc = The fraction of communicative planets (those on which electromagnetic communications technology develops)\nL = The "lifetime" of communicating civilizations

The word cryogenics literally means "the production of icy cold"; however the term is used today as a synonym for the low-temperature state. It is not well-defined at what point on the temperature scale refrigeration ends and cryogenics begins. The workers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology at Boulder, Colorado have chosen to consider the field of cryogenics as that involving temperatures below –150 °C (123 K). This is a logical dividing line, since the normal boiling points of the so-called permanent gases (such as helium, hydrogen, neon, nitrogen, oxygen, and normal air) lie below -150 °C while the Freon refrigerants, hydrogen sulfide, and other common refrigerants have boiling points above -150 °C.\n\nRecent research regarding superconductivity at low temperatures has been called cryoelectronics, and the utilization of these sciences is called cryotronics.


In the UK the number of alcohol related deaths soars past 20, 000 per year, and in the USA, the figure is more than double that.

It was once illegal in the US, during a period known as prohibition.  However, while alcohol use dipped initially, prohibition's negative effects outweighed the positive ones.  One problem is that despite the fact that alcohol was illegal, it was easy to make and import alcohol from outside the US.  As well, prohibition did a great deal to contribute to organized crime, which profited of sales of alcohol.  Since alcohol consumption was and is still well established in American and British culture, the demand is such that underground organizations would thrive.  As such, we would see an increase in crime and probably not a tremendous fall in alcohol-related crime.\n\nTo add to that, the alcohol-making industry has much more resources than the prohibitionist movement and thus prohibition is also less politically viable for financial reasons.\n\nFor more info on prohibition, check out the Wikipedia article below.


Someone e-mailed me and I don't want to respond, until I know who it is, and I don't want to come right out and ask who they are.

You can always try looking up the e-mail adress in a web search engine. In older public forums the address was shown in clear text.\n\nQuite often the domain (the stuff behind the @ sign) can give hints about the sender, or the user handle before. Yahoo addresses may have a public profile which sometimes give you hints or information.\n\nIn the age of spam, more often than not the sender address is faked, though. In that case you couldn't even reply.\n\nAlternatively, you can use a second, free e-mail account to reply to the sender without revealing your identity. But then the original sender will be in the same situation you are in now...


My girlfriend's been working on college applications and she still is, which is cool, but I think she's overworking herself.\n\nThe last couple times I've seen her, she looked exausted and worn out.  I believe that the stress is getting to her.\n\nNow, she doesn't want to spend time with me, saying that she will after she's done with her applications (they being due on Jan 2, 2006 at the latest).  This is completely understandable, because she needs to get the work done.\n\nI sent her flowers on Christmas Eve to cheer her up and make her feel better, which they did, but only temporarily.\n\nI can't stand seeing her like this.  She looks like she's going to have a breakdown soon.\n\nThis actually started when she applied early decision to Standford and got rejected.  She says that this rejection has caused her to lose confidence and now she thinks that she can't get into any college.\n\nI don't know what to do. =(\n\nHelp.  Please...\n\n(**  )<|\nDead Fish\nOllec, the Fish Slayer

She'll be ok.  The stress she feels is temporary. If she is like me, she just needs time alone to focus and not feel like she needs to pay attention to other's needs right now.  I bet she is a very giving person.  She is being too hard on herself, though. Stress will make you say and do silly things. Maybe if you sent her a love letter telling her how much you love her and admire her strength and abilities. Let her know you are behind her 100% and can't wait to see  her get into a college.  Tell her you are proud of her for working so hard. Just basically do all you can to boost her up and make her feel special.  Send the letter( hand written!) through regular mail.  For some reason, and hand written love letter is always the best thing in the world to cheer up a gal!   Good luck.

ok why do women place such a heavy emotional weight on an act that actually causes nine months of discomfort and pain and a lifetime of worry i dont get it?

well im 25 and have been married for nine years ok thats stupid i know but i have two children and yes it is a lifetime of worry and nine months of pain. But oh it was so much fun getting there, lol. Sex is a womans way of knowing she is attractive and still has control over something. Thats the best answer i have for that one.

if the weather was going to change when your up in the air wouldn't it make a lot more sense if the air was warmer, you are closer to the sun

It's a long winded explanation - see link below.\n\n(snip)\nthe sun's heat acts almost the same as the sun's light — it passes through the air almost as though the air wasn't there.\n\nThis means that almost all of the sun's heat goes into warming up the oceans and the land it hits. As the oceans and ground warm up, they warm the air next to them, and this air warms the air a little higher up and so on. But, as you go higher, there's less and less heat available to go up, and the air gets colder.\n(snip)

Define top down and bottom up and how each will play out in years ahead

The science and technology of building electronic circuits and devices from single atoms and molecules. Bottom-up, or self-assembly, approaches to nanofabrication use chemical or physical forces operating at the nanoscale to assemble basic units into larger structures. As component size decreases in nanofabrication, bottom-up approaches provide an increasingly important complement to top-down techniques. The most common top-down approach to fabrication involves lithographic patterning techniques using short-wavelength optical sources. A key advantage of the top-down approach—as developed in the fabrication of integrated circuits—is that the parts are both patterned and built in place, so that no assembly step is needed.  The benefit to these types of technology are it is easier for something small to build something small, therefore human interaction is no longer needed the nanos can build themselves reducing error and manpower necessary.

I think Howard is the indeed the king of media. He doesnt care what people think about what he says. I respect that 100%!!!!! He says what's on his mind and doesn't hide his thoughts like the rest of the jack- offs out there today. I wish there were to be more people like him. I hope he stays around forever and continues to do what he does. He's the freakin best!!! I wish him well in what ever he does. I support Howard all the way. If there is anyone out there who does not like listening to him then simply shut the hell up and turn the station it's that simple. Howard Stern for president!!!!!\n\nJohn Bukovack


My optical mouse does double click while I just click once, notice that I didn’t set it to duplicate the click. And sometimes it works ok but sometimes when I click the X to close a window it closes 2 windows for me; the active one and the one behind.\nAny idea? Anyone faced similar problem?

Yes.  Twice in fact.  Each time, it turned out to be dirt in the mouse button.  See if you can blow out any debris from mouse using a can of air.


i'm not interested in metaphysical answers to this question. i've never seen a satisfying answer to this most basic of questions. i agree that this universe is not the only possible universe, just the one that happened to produce intelligent life. but why must ANY universe exist?

No one knows the answer.  The bible thumpers try to blame it on God but it doesn't answer the basic question of "Why?".  There is not yet a satisfying answer that I know of.


We discuss it all the time but he's fixed on doing it in 3 yrs ,i think that's too long , i'm ready now , should i wait , or say something?

Don't start dropping hints all the time. If you do that he'll prob. just get annoyed or freaked out. Instead, why don't you tell him you need to talk about something and explain how you feel to him. See what he has to say, and take it from there.\nIf you want to marry this man you should be able to have conversations like this, and he will respect you more for being straight forward with him instead of playing games and dropping poorly veiled hints all of the time.\nAfter you talk about it, do not hound him all of the time about it either.

you dam right they should get to vote and to have guns also, america just once another reason to take away your rights if they could and they definatly can they would take everyone's guns they would take all voting away from all men and women black and white except for the rich white man i'd say boycott the us government this isnt the united states its the devided states where there are no laws and the constitution means exactly nothing Americans lol dont have the guts to stand up for themselves period what a weak country.


So, say you have a new dell pc, and you use an old power cable from a hp, will this void its warranty?\n\nI fully understand that they are practically the same cable and possibly come from the same place even.

I use to work in the Round Rock office for Dell.\n\nThe answer is No it will not, they are the same cable. Now, why would they know that you used a different cable? Sometimes they will ask you to use a different cable during troubleshooting process, but besides that they should not know that you are using one and you should not volunteer that info


If by "free" you mean socialized health care, then you could start with Canada, France, and Germany amongst the most prominent.

It was on a compaq 2100 notebook. It would not take the restore dvd.

Did you boot from the DVD.  If you tried it and that didn't work you can ignore my response.  But, Boot the laptop, pop the DVD in and restart, the PC should then boot with the DVD and you will be able to restore windows.  If it isn't set to boot from the DVD then you will have to get into the BIOS and set the DVD drive as the first boot drive.  To get into your BIOS you will have to watch the first splash screen which will say something like "to enter configuration press Delete" or something similar so do that and you will be able to set your DVD drive as the first boot device.  This is assuming of course that it is an actual DVD disc and that the drive on your laptop is a DVD drive.  If it is just a CD drive then it won't ready DVDs.  Sorry, I had to say that, I have had people put DVDs in CD drives and they expected them to be readable.


And now with what happened with Palmiero and the much stricter policies will it effect this season?

Palmiero was what I was going to mention before I saw the details. After he got caught, he did nothing to help Baltimore. The steroid policy worked last year but this year with the more strict rules, anyone who doesn't get caught will have probably refused to take the test. But then he can't play. The steroid policy will be great this year.


All we get was spams and answers from anonymous user. How can Yahoo! Answers be accepted as a reliabel source for knowledge when aswers are uncertain and not clarrified.

Well, most of the answers are sort of discussion, personal opinion and more of an advice. But but but, if you see the Serious sections on Computer Science, Physics, chemistry, you would find really good and to the point answers. This is a forum for seeking opinions  and help. Unfortunately, since its craze has just started, most of the people are just putting stupid/ irrelevent questions and the same for answers just to get some points. People do grow up after a week on this network, asking more mature questions and replying better quality answers. The recent change in scoring pattern by Yahoo has definitely discouraged this 'irrelevent' scam questions and answers. Take my word, wait for a month, by the time it would become a big knowledge bank. However, if you have some serious questions, post on Google groups and you would find really good and precise answers.

Does a Messianic Jewish congregation allow visitors; what should I expect?

Messianic ""Jewish"" congregations of course welcome visitors. No, a person does not have to be born a Jew to join a messianic congregation. \n\nAs a matter of fact, the majority of their members were not ever Jewish up until recently, and this is also true about their messianic ""rabbis."" Many of them change their names to something that sounds stereotypically Jewish, in order to better target those they want to convert to Christianity.\n\nAs the success of this newest technique in missionizing the less knowledgeable Jews increased, the percentage of membership of ex-Jews as members of their messianic congregations has also increased, now running about 50-50.\n\nIt is also interesting to note that a large number of people converting TO Judaism have come to real Judaism from having been exposed to Messianic ""Judaism."" \n\nWhat you should expect at a messianic congregation is that all references to Christian theology has been changed to make it sound more Jewish, and therefore more pallatable to their targets. They will only refer to Jesus as 'Yeshua' (which would not have been his name), they will say 'moshiach' instead of 'christ,' they will say 'synagogue' instead of 'church,' and on and on, in keeping with the techniques described in the book Understanding Church Growth by Donald MacGavran, who helped the idea of Indiginous Cultural Evangelism get started. \n\nThe services will sound very Jewish, usually a lot of (mispronounced) Hebrew, and prayers will have been changed to add the Christian theology of Jesus to them, again, to make the service more familiar to their targets.\n\nRemember that these messianic congregations need member$hip, and so they also target those Christians who want to know more about the ""Jewish roots"" of Christianity as well, so you will be very welcomed.

My boyfriend is only 20 and his snoring is awful most nights. It keeps me awake and is frustrating. I know their are surgeries out there to fix it, and some say exercise helps. The nose strips and sprays do not work because it is coming from his throat, not his nose. He believes he has sleep apnea, but we do not have the money to test for this. Anyone else experience this and can reccomend a solution thayt worked for them?

Your boyfriend needs to seriously consider testing for sleep apnea, especially if the snoring seems to be throat-based.  I'll just bet he has it, too.  Age is not a factor; I am told kids as young as 12 can have it.\n\nI have it and didn't know it.  For me, it wasn't a snoring issue; it was an issue with not getting a restful night's sleep.  I'd wake up in the morning and feel completely exhausted.\n\nI was tested three years ago and was shocked to find out that I stopped breathing 30 times in three hours, which essentially woke me up.  When the clinic stirred me, they put me on a CPAP (controlled positive air pressure machine) and I fell into deep REM sleep for the first time in I can't remember.  Since then, I use the CPAP every night and sleep like a baby.  You will, too.\n\nI can't stress enough the health implications of this beyond the lack of sleep.  It is a severe drag on the heart and respiratory system.\n\nI can't speak to your financial issues, but medical insurance should cover this if your doctor makes the referral.\n\nAccording to my doctor, surgery has only a 35% success rate.  I didn't like those odds.  My experience with Breathe-Rite strips was largely negative although they were helpful when I was at the gym (-:

you don't need to have another computer hooked up to the modem, if ur moden is external u can connect it to a wireless router, then share the connection with the router and use it by ur laptop using ur wirless lan card.


can guys have periods? Sometimes they act all mean and stuff, is it possible?

While men produce estrogen and progesterone in small amounts (women produce testosterone in small amounts also), they do not have ovaries and they do not produce eggs.  Therefore, no men cannot have periods.


This of WRC (rally cars) I guess they can be considered atheletes.

It depends on whether your racing against anybody, after all racing is a sport.  Then there is drifting, which is basicly controling your car when over-steering or under-steering.  \nDrifting is considered a sport and if you went around a mountain curve with the snow all over the place it'd be drifting if you managed to turn your car sideways until you were straight again(Extreamly dangerous, do not attempt).  \n  Then again, the definition of sport is: to amuse oneself.  So whatever you do thats amusing yourself, its basicly a sport.  Whether it has spectators or not is another thing.

Obiously not the fruit that grows on a vine that is purplish black in color with seeds.  But I have heard serveral references to some electronical device?  Is it like a PDA?

Absolutely, is is a PDA.  An email and phone in one, nowadays anyway.\n\nCheck it out at www.answers.com with the following citation:\n\n"BlackBerry." Wikipedia. Wikipedia, 2005. Answers.com 09 Dec. 2005. http://www.answers.com/topic/blackberry\n\n\nBlackBerry \nThis article is about the wireless e-mail device. For the fruit, see Blackberry. For other meanings, see blackberry (disambiguation). \n \nBlackBerry 7100tThe BlackBerry is a handheld wireless device providing e-mail, telephone, text messaging and web browsing and other wireless data access.\n\n\nHardware\n \n(1) Trackwheel, (2) Escape key and (3) radio/phone speaker on the BlackBerry 7510The devices are manufactured by the Canadian company Research In Motion (RIM) and are resold by cellular phone companies throughout the world. They fit in the palm of the hand and are operated using a scroll wheel and buttons. The original BlackBerry device had a monochrome display, but the newer models are colour.\n\nWhile including the usual PDA applications (address book, calendar, to-do lists, etc.) as well as telephone capabilities on newer models, the BlackBerry is primarily known for its ability to send and receive e-mail anywhere it has access to an appropriate wireless network, as well as for its built-in keyboard optimized for "thumbing", or using only your thumbs to type. System navigation is primarily accomplished by the trackwheel (or "thumbwheel"), a scrolling wheel with a "click" function, located on the right side of the device. Some models (such as 7510 and 7520) also incorporate a two-way radio.\n\nThe devices are very popular with some businesses, where they are primarily used to provide e-mail delivery to roaming employees. To fully integrate the BlackBerry into a company, the installation of BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) is required.\n\nIn November 2004, RIM announced that the number of subscribers to the BlackBerry service had reached two million, having doubled within ten months.\n\n\nKeyboard\nMost BlackBerry devices come with a full QWERTY keyboard, using the "Alt" key to enter numbers and special characters. The new 7100 series models feature a combination standard number keypad and QWERTY combination, using an intuitive typing technology similar to T9.\n\n \nBlackBerry Main Menu (colour)\nOperating system\nRIM provides a proprietary operating system (OS) for the BlackBerry, which makes heavy use of the device's specialized input devices, particularly the thumbwheel. The OS provides support for MIDP 1.0 and WAP 1.2. Previous versions allowed wireless synchronization with Microsoft Exchange Server's e-mail and calendar, as well as with Lotus Domino's e-mail. The current OS 4 provides a subset of MIDP 2.0, and allows complete wireless activation and synchronization with Exchange's e-mail, calendar, tasks, notes and contacts, and adds support for Novell Groupwise.\n\nSoftware can be written using these APIs, but needs to be signed by RIM first so that an application can be associated to a developer account at RIM. This signing procedure does not ensure the safety of the code.\n\n\n\nSupporting software\nBlackBerry handheld integration into an organization's e-mail system is provided through a software package called "BlackBerry Enterprise Server" (BES). Versions of BES are available for Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino and Novell Groupwise.\n\nIndividual users can often use e-mail services provided by the wireless provider and therefore may not be required to install a BES server on their local network, but organizations that have multiple wireless users usually run BES on their own network.\n\nBES can act as a sort of e-mail relay for corporate accounts so that users always have access to their e-mail. The software monitors the user's local "inbox", and when a new message comes in, it picks up the message and passes it to RIM's Network Operations Center (NOC).

Mass Communication is the term used to describe the academic study of various means by which individuals and entities relay information to large segments of the population all at once through mass media.\n\nIn the United States, many university journalism departments evolved into schools or colleges of mass communication or "journalism and mass communication," as reflected in the names of two major academic organizations. In addition to studying practical skills of jouralism, public relations or advertising, students also may major in "mass communication" or "mass communication research." The latter is often the title given to doctoral studies in such schools, whether the focus of the student's research is journalism practice, history, law or media effects. Departmental structures within such colleges may separate research and instruction in professional or technical aspects of newspaper and magazine publishing, radio, television, and film. Mass communication research includes media institutions and processes, such as diffusion of information, and media effects, such as persuasion or manipulation of public opinion.\n\nWith the Internet's increased role in delivering news and information, mass communication studies -- and media organizations -- have increasingly focused on the convergence of publishing, broadcasting and digital communication.\n\nThe academic mass communication discipline historically differs from media studies and communication studies programs with roots in departments of theatre, film or speech, and with more interest in "qualitative," interpretive theory, critical or cultural approaches to communication study. In contrast, many mass communication programs historically lean toward empirical analysis and quantitative research -- from statistical content analysis of media messages to survey research, public opinion polling, and experimental research, including an increasing interest in "New Media" and "Computer Mediated Communication."\n\nGraduates of Mass Communication programs work in a variety of fields in traditional news media and publishing, advertising, public relations and research institutes.\n\nSuch programs are accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (ACEJMC).\n\nThe Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC) is the major membership organization for academics in the field, offering regional and national conferences and refereed publications.\n\nThe International Communication Association (ICA) and National Communication Association (formerly the Speech Communciation Association) include divisions and publications that overlap with those of AEJMC, but AEJMC historically has stronger ties to the mass communication professions in the United States.

I have an existing website and I need a CMS for it. I've heard about Joomla and I'd like to use it, but I heard that it could only be used with new templates. Can I integrate Joomla into my existing site?

Joomla is a site framework... I use XAMPP.  You can likely fit your old site into Joomla in a number of ways.  You can take the content and place it into the content management parts you want to use. Any other parts that don't fit might have a plugin like the bbs systems or blogs out there, alternatively you can put your stuff in a managed frame in joomla. Another way to integrate would be to put the joomla parts in a sub-directory but that won't make much sense unless you want to run multiple sites as the framework is meant to manage the links, sidebars etc.


I drank mostly beer last night.  Also two Bloody Marys.

Drink plenty of water. Drinking water between drinks is also a great way to prevent the ailing morning-after effects. To help avoid a hangover, try to eat or snack before or while drinking.\nNow if these suggestions didn't work or if you didn't follow these tips, here's how to handle the morning-after hangover: The symptoms you're feeling post-drinking are signs of dehydration caused by the alcohol. That's why you must rehydrate yourself by drinking a lot of water when you get up. \nRehydrating your body is the key to recovering from the hangover, and this cannot be stressed enough.

i really need someone to talk to and i have no one to talk to.

Within three months of my sweet Mama passing, we had a memorial to her memory.  She had always said that no one was ever to cry about her death, but we were to remember her with love & laughter.  My Mama had painted alot of sweet pictures in her life, and she had also written a few stories & poems.  We reserved a small gathering place in the city park and set up all of her creations, even some great clothes that she had made!  My friends & family helped with tea &  cookies,(could be cokes & chips) we had a guest book for visitors who wanted to write anything that they remembered about her, and we put it in the local paper and posted fliers around the neighborhood.  Now we had lived there a long time, lots of folks knew us, but you just never know who will show up and share a sweet story about their friend, your Mama!  Good Luck


Hi! I am from a warm country, and I am now living in Denmark, which is under a blizzard now.\nThe snow is very very thick, and how can I make a snowman? I didn't yet, but I want some tips ^^

Wet snow makes the best snow men. Dry powdery stuff is great for skiing.\nPack an armfull of snow into a ball shape and begin rolling it around until it is the size you wish for the bottom. Flatten the top surface to make the next step easier.\nForm another ball and when it is about 2/3 the size of the first, roll or lift it on to the first. Pack snow around the meeting point to keep the second part stable. Flatten top of second ball.\nRoll snow for the head, lift onto body and pack connecting area with more snow. \nThen accesorize!\nGood luck.


This is in California. What if I just stop paying the premium after resigning the lease?

I don't mean copy an existing line segment, like a ruler.  Draw one that you can prove to be straight.

by using a compass, draw two archs of the same degree to intersect each other on each end.  each point of intersection will be your point A & B use a straight edge to connect. Now you have a proven straight line.


Germans used to call Jewish in some of the German papers " MUSLIMANS " .

"Islam" is derived from the Arabic word "salom," meaning "peace." "Muslim" literally means "one who submits," as in "submits to the will of God."


Okay, I wasn't paying enough attention when someone explained the moon's size or height at this time the other day.

SAROS\nThe saros is the roughly 18-year periodic cycle of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. Every 6,585 days, the Earth, Moon and Sun are in exactly the same position. When there is a lunar eclipse, there will also be one exactly 6,585 days later.


I have been dating this guy for a couple months and a couple time under his breath it sounded like he said I love you. Last time we were together he asked if I would have his children and he said "If I asked you to be my wife, would you?" He says he would want to married before we had children. I have feelings but I fear being hurt. Does he mean what he is saying?

It  depends  on  how  faithfull  you  are  to  him  and  viceversa.


Do you wacth porno for recreational purposes? If so are you bieng a hypocrite by advising me not to do it. And what job should I look for with only a high school degree? Tell me about a job that will pay at least $500 in rent, $400 for food, $400 for transportation, $4000 in tuition, $200 in books, and $500 in utilities. Also keep in mind that I am a full time student so I can only work twenty hours a week to maintain a decent GPA.

I just got a 5200 8x AGP 128MB card and it blinks when I move any window. This is on the lowest 800x600 32bit resolution. I plan to run at 800x600 and 1024x768x32bit res. I got this card for $49after rebate. Should I return this and get a higher level card? I plan to run word, internet, DVD, solitaire 95% of the time and CivIII, the Movies 5% of the time. What card level would be a good compromise for the least cost?\nCard Level, MB, Speed, Brand, etc.

I think there is some problem with your drivers. The 5200 is quite capable for your needs. Please install the lates drivers from www.nvidia.com Also please verify your monitor, whether it's in good condition or not by plugging it into another computer / laptop. Finally please check your card by plugging it into another PC.


What is the origin of the above often used phrase & where is it used

Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, the reference book everyone should have at her or his fingertips, does not give an origin for this saying; however it does give as definitions or equivalents:\n"You cannot spend your money and yet keep it. You cannot serve both God and Mammon. You cannot have it both ways."


please can some male out there help me! the itchy area is high on the iside of my thigh area close to the side of the groin area.

OR Any web_site about organ transplant in China or U.S.A.

Beijing Xiehe Hospital seems to also be known as the Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The website is at\nwww.pumch.ac.cn/ \nbut it is in Chinese. If you search for it on google, it will offer to translate it for you. I don't know whether it has specific organ transplant info.\nHere's a link to the Johns Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.) info on kidney-pancreas transplants.\nhttp://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Transplant/Programs/kidneypancreas/


Minimum wage isn't meant to be lived on.  It is for students and those new to the work force.\n\nMinimum wage leads to inflation and outsourcing.\n\nWhich way is better, if there can't be both a minimum wage and no outsourcing/inflation

I don't think there should be a minimum wage. Certain jobs, many that are just taken by teenagers, are not worth seven dollars an hour. As long as we have people willing to do these jobs for any ammount, there should be no minimum wage. Telling private businesses how much they must pay their employees should not be the government's job.


I found this site in our history,I know my boyfriend visited,but know matter what i do it wont let me go there,I want to know if anyone knows anything about this site.

I had this before, it had installed itself as a program, so going to add/remove programs in the control panel and uninstalling it might work, but be careful not to remove anything you need!!!


Assuming you could expand your memory, abilities, intelligence and speed of thought through technological add-ons to your brain, would you? Would you be an early adopter? What aspect of yourself would you like to enhance?

Early adopter? No thanks.\n\nI've only got one body and one brain, and I don't have any desire to mess them up with bleeding edge (literally?!) technology. You can't reboot your head if something goes wrong.\n\nHaving said all that, more power to those of you who are willing to risk it. It's just not for me.


i'm catholic, and i don't worship anyone but God himself, i don't condemn homosexuals, i pray to Jesus... why people do people always talk negatively about Catholics? i can personally attest to the fact that there are flaws in people in the church [because duh, we're flawed beings] but we're not as bad as everyone says we are. it seems like everyone's really willing to misinterpret everything that the pope or bishops or even regular lay people say.

For the same reason people are so critical of the Protestant church, a small minority of us go overboard, and the rest of us pray the price.

FOR INSTANCE, IT'S EASIER FOR ONE TO SAY WHEN A PERSON IS POSSESSED,"THE DEVIL IS INSIDE HIM" AND PEOPLE BELIEVE IT AND DON'T QUESTION IT. BUT, WHEN GOD HEALS A MAN AND HE TELLS IT, PEOPLE QUESTION HIM AND SOMETIMES MAY NOT BELIEVE IT. WHY IS THAT? WHY DO WE HAVE TO SEE MIRACLES HAPPEN BEFORE OUR EYES BEFORE WE BELIEVE IN GOD? OR WHY MUST WE QUESTION IT AND NOT JUST BELIEVE IT WHEN WE FIRST HEAR IT?

I don't believe in the devil.\nIts a mythological archetype.\nStallin was a devil.\nHitler was a devil.\nA man who molests his kids is the devil.\n\nAs to God it sort of depends who's God one refers to.\nIs it Buddha? \nIs it Mohammed? \nIs it Zeus? \nIs it Yahweh?


Privately owned company with 4 employees wondering if owner required to pay them holiday pay for Sunday holidays (chrismas and New Years), no labor contract, long time since happened in past.

The last time Christmas and New Year's fell on a Sunday was 1994, so perhaps your employer's records would indicate what happened that time.\n\nThe Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not require overtime pay for weekends or holidays. It's up to the employer and employee.  If the labor contract does not specify, then the employer may do what he wants under *federal* law.\n\nUnder *state* law, it entirely depends on which state you're in.  If you specify the state, I could help with a more direct answer.\n\nEDIT: Under Michigan law, there is no holiday pay requirement.  It's all exclusively based upon the contract.  Of course, if Sunday represents more than 40 hours worked, overtime pay is required.  I've included that link below.


my shot has been off recently and one of my friends thought it might be form lifting weights so i thought id check it out.

Unfortunately, the buffing up does affect your shot.  This is because the added muscle mass if you try to go up in amount of weight will cause the power you put behind your shot to increase.  You should always lift in the off-season, and keep a consistent lower amount to lift to maintain tone during the season.  Say go up 5 lbs. a week before season and stay 15 lbs under your max through the season to stay tone.  Also, don't lift everyday, let muscles relax so they can stay healthy, they are anerobic.


I'm a 17 yr-old male with anorexia. My parents think ED's are a female only issue, and any facts and figures are not getting through to them. I realise I need help, but that I can't do this on my own. How can I find treatment, and pay for it, without their help?\n\n-daniel

Try talking to you guidance counselor if you are in high school or your health center if you are in college.\n\nYou are making an important step in admitting that you have problem.  If at all possible I recommend you give your parents a chance to support your recovery and treatment.  Facing your problem is hard enough you do not need to take it on all by yourself.

my birthday in 2006 (I know the booking phone number do i call that number?)

I had an aunt who lived in Baltimore have the Baltimore Oriole (mascot of the baseball team) come to her house for her son's 4th birthday party.\n\nMr. Hardy (of 84 Lumber fame) had Kenny Rogers stop by and sing for his last birthday.\n\nTo have someone come to your birthday you need to go through their agent. There are a lot of things that are involved including schedules, conflicts, and of course money. Also the unions the actors belong to may not allow it at all no matter how much money is involved.

There are many types of adulterants. \n\nFor example, food processing facilities test for pieces of metal in their packaged products by passing each package through a magnetic detector. When the magnet detects a package with metal in it a blast of air or a robot arm kicks the package off of the conveyor belt so that it is removed from production.\n\nIf you're talking about chemical or biological adulturants, the testing for those would be done on finished product samples. If any of the samples test positive then more samples from the appropriate production lot are usually tested. Any product that has not passed all of its testing is held in a separate part of the warehouse so that it doesn't get confused with "clean" product. \n\nThere are literally hundreds of methods for testing the samples. The manual of standard operating procedures at the company I used to work for was literally too big to fit in one binder. It included methods for testing for Salmonella, Arsenic, Endotoxins, and many others.


I want detailed explanation of how speech is converted to text in computers,the coding

It is highly based upon corelation. You must have noticed that most voice recognition systems require certain degree of training before they can actually be put to use.\nWhat they do is that, they record the way you pronounce the phenomes. A phenome is the smallest unit of sound that humans can produce. After building a complete list of phenomes and the way you can pronounce them, it can start listening to your voice and then by splitting up the phenomes, it can start concatenating the phenomes and do a lookup in dictionary to find out the word that matches the series of phenomes.\nA lot of other heuristics are involved in recognition of exact word. You should look up some resources on Google Serach for detailed information

Anyone know what the West Wind writers are planning to do with John Spencer's character (Leo) now that Spencer has passed? I liked where they were going with this character as the VP in the Santos administration, with a more active role than any VP in the past. What will they do now?\n\nJohn Spencer was a wonderful part of the WW cast, and will certainly be missed!

The last I read, the writers and producers have not decided how to deal with it.  The fact that the character had a heart attack in the past would seem to present an easy solution, except for the fact that in the beginning of this season Leo was shown in a flashforward taking places three years from now.\n\nI suppose they could just have him disappear from the show this season, saying he is on the campaign trail. Unfortunately, it does not look like the show will be renewed for next season, so they may not have to find a better long-term solution.


So that we know about Gods existence and the beautiful things that He has made.\nWhat would God do in a lonely world.. so He simply blew life in it.


I need to get presents for my brother in law and my Father.  Thinking about heading over to the local sportsmans paradise.  Who's got some relatively inexpensive ideas say 30-50 buck range.

Insulated gloves, wool socks, a dove stool, a dove spinner (spinning wing decoy), a meat grinder and jerky making kit, a vaccuum food sealer, a camel-bak hydration system, polypropolene long underwear, 2 tickets to a Ducks Unlimited banquet.  These items are $10-$75 so you can combine them.


Atheists and agnostics don't believe in God, so unless they just aren't sure, it must be pretty difficult to convince them that there is a God.  What's the best way to do that or is just working on them the only way?

If showing them that it is impossible for us to be alive without God, and that God's creation obviously points to a Creator doesn't work, then all you can really do is pray for God to open their eyes. Keep working on them until they either completely refuse to listen, or until they finally realize there is a God. Just keep praying! \n\nAlso keep reading God's Word. Sometimes when you are reading the Bible, God will show something to you that you never noticed before. If you pray about it, He may show you a new way to prove that He exists to that atheist. Just do right, read your Bible, and pray!\n\nI hope God opens the door to lead that atheist to Him. When he finally realizes that God exists, then you should be able to lead him to Christ. God bless!

I had a long term exposure to a gas leak from my stove.  during the same time I became pregnant and soon after miscarried.  After of months dealing with the gas leak myself and my family became sick.  We now have outstanding medical bills.  My landlords our at fault, it turned out that a piund and a half of gas was leaking per hour.  It took the landlords over amonth to even fix the problem. If any one has any information on  what my rights are and if my miscarriages might be from the long term exposure to the gas leaking from the stove.  Our apartment is small and ols, not much had been done to update the place.

I would talk to a lawyer to discuss your options. There might be a chance the landlord is found guilty of negligence.


Not just a proof of concept. Has there ever been actual viruses created that spread to any significant degree?

It appears that no major viruses have occured yet, as Macs are not as widely distributed as PC's.  Thus, there is much less incentive for making a Mac virus.  However, there have been a few security vulnerabilities that have been patched.  If and when the market share of Macs increases, the number of viruses and other threats will increase as well.

John initiates the call to everybody in the group every week to the same Karaoke Bar.  John "secretly" negotiated a deal with the owner.  The deal is "Everybody pays $40 for an all-u-can drink"  However, nobody knows that John doesn't need to pay that $40.  You are the only person who knows because your best friend told you this and your best friend knows because the owner's wife told her.

I can understand how you might feel a little used. However, if your all having a good time, and its a good deal to you, then just go with it. Maybe you could make the call next time to a new place if it really starts to bother you. Do you HAVE to partake in the $40 deal? Or can you just buy yourself one drink and still have a good time?

There are hundreds of WordPress plugins availible, and opinions vary on which are the "best" to use, or the "most important."\n\nThe "top five" seem to be:\n1) A good anti-comment-spam plugin (or editing your .htaccess to blog at the source)\n2) A "related posts" plugin (shows posts that are theoretically related (by keyword) to the current post)\n3) A "top posts" or "latest posts" plugin.\n4) The RunPHP plugin (http://www.nosq.com/2004/10/runphp-wordpress-plugin/ ) (allowing you to execute PHP code in your posts and pages).\n5) The Subscribe to Comments plugin (http://txfx.net/search/subscribe%20to%20comments%202 ), allow people to receive e-mail notification when comments are replied to.\n\nThe Wordpress Codex contains many plugins, and links to outside plugin lists.  Additionally a search on yahoo for "wordpress plugin" will merit a lot of results.\n\nUltimately, it's your blog, feel free to use what you prefer.

How expensive are they? Do they feel like regular teeth? Are you happy you paid the price for them? Any information will be helpful, especially any from a dentist as to procedure, length of implant life, etc...

Yes, they are expensive.  Before I could get my implants I had to have some bone grafting done.  I had one implant done 2 years ago and it cost about $3500.  That doesn't include the bone.  Some people don't need the bone replaced.  In November I had 6 more screws (implants) put in.  The cost was $7700.  But that price does not include the teeth that are attached to the implant.  A dentist will make those whereas the implants are done by a dental surgeon.  I think the teeth are about $600 each.  It is quite expensive but they will last a lifetime.  They feel just like your regular teeth.  Being young (less than 50 years old) they are the perfect choice for me.  If I had to have false teeth (dentures) I think my self image and esteem would be nil.  Plus how would I feel about a guy I was dating finding out that my teeth come out.  \n\nThere is another choice you can make.  My mother and my sister got this other kind of implants.  I think they are called mini implants.  What happends there is mini screws are put in your mouth and they stick out of your gums.  Then a special denture is made that snaps onto the screws in your mouth.  They are sturdy and secure.  You can wear them all the time, just take them out and clean them once a day.  The life of this type is about 10 years.  I think the total cost was somewhere around $12,000 for the uppers and lowers.  \n\nIf you're really interested check around for a good oral surgeon and dentist, preferably ones that work together (refers to each other).  \n\nHope this is helpful and makes sense!!


Mrs. Bracegirde was a popular actress on the restoration Era stage.

Well she could be using her maiden last name (i.e. fathers name) as an actress.\nHer husband might have a different last name.

Like wagering on Sports but am looking for someone who can pick winners consistently


im curious to c if i know any body here! if u do live in everett, or snohomish or even lake stevens...is so...who r u?

Ha!  My step kids were born there!  Also my husband went to Snohomish High School.  We went there a few years ago and looked at all the "memories" he had.  It was very neat.


or is it perhaps, that there's no winners no loosers' is only the glass where you see thru?

SUISCIDE!!And then you will be a winner, along with all the stuck up preps not having to listen to your whining and complaining.LOSER!!


Oh, I know! Pick me! They do it with a machine, it's lower case, Times New Roman font, and it says " m&m". There you have it! No prob!


I see IT all the time.  What does it mean?


for the USA the war lasted about five years. from 1941 to 1945.\n\nFor Europe and the Pacific countries the war lasted almost 7 years. from 1939 to 1945.\n\nIm not sure when war was offically declared, but Hitler started invading countries in 1939. that was also the year he began persecuting the jews.\n\nI know for sure that the war ended in 1945.


I would like to know the answer to this question.  I have seen to many females with mustaches.

I would say not necessarily. It is just a genetic anomoly some females are born with. I knew a girl with black hair and a light mustache in 6th grade.  By middle school she had gotten rid of it, and by high school she was the most beautiful girl in the school. And I can assure you she was all woman!


Intelligent life-forms and not just micro-organisms..

to think that we are the only living beings in this large universe is silly. Why have they not made themselves seen to us, is a different story.\nIt could be that they are at the same level of technology as us, they could be behind us or they might be highly advance and will not make themselves know to us until we are at their level. \nIn short without continuing to go on a rant\nYes, they are out there.

I'm a Classics major and would be interested in something like that, but my cursory search has failed to show up anything either. E-mail me at jaf at reed dot edu if you find something or are maybe interested in starting up something.

Baptists are a branch of the Puritan movement that flourished in England during the 17th century. Most of them believed in predestination, and they believed that baptism was only for adult believers that had come to faith on their own. They also fervently advocated for the separation of church and state.\n\nMethodism, on the other hand, was the church that came out of the 18th century revivals that were led, among others, by John and Charles Wesley. They did not believe in predestination, but they continued to baptise infants. They eventually made a reluctant break from the Church of England.\n\nSo, Methodists baptise babies while Baptists don't, and while Baptists used to affirm predestination while Methodists rarely did, most Baptists don't believe in it any more, either. As far as Christian truth is concerned, there is no real difference between the two.\n\nAnd there ARE some Baptists, like this one, who affirm the ordination of women to the pastorate!


I use the keyboard & mouse in Madden 2006, and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to call for a fair catch. Does anyone know how to do that? It stinks because I think the manual only covers the D-pad functions. Thanks.

Press D or F till you get to the reciever you want, then press E before the ball is caught.
