Why do words with the same exact pronounciation and same exact meaning, have two accepted spellings in English?  Such as "grey" and gray", etc.  Is there a certain name for these types of words?  Are there any more?

There are tons, especially if you take the differences between British and American spelling into account.\n\nHonor v honour, vigor v vigour, etc.\nThey also use "z" less frequently than we do, using "s" instead.  Sympathize v sympathise or colorize v colourise.


I have been "surfing" to find some reputable authorities about computers (especially computer security), and have come across two.  They are: ADWARE REPORT and BOB RANKIN. Does anyone know anything about either of them?

If you want to research PC security, the best places to read about that are, PC Magazine, http://www.pcmag.com/ , PC World, http://www.pcworld.com/ , Cnet, http://www.cnet.com/ and last but not least ZDnet, http://www.zdnet.com/ just do searches on their site for "pc security" and I'm sure you will find a number of things that you are looking for.


My first thought is it sounds great but it probably wouldnt work. However I am not scientific at all so I though maybe someone could offer me better insight.\n\nAnd maybe a reason why or why not?

In English or German, the answer would be the same.  Although the bullet may not cause enough physical damage, there are other things to consider, including site of entry.\nMythbusters never shot a live animal (too much fuss for a publicly viewed TV show).  If they had, they might have answered the question better.  If shot into major artery, the vicitm would probably die of blood loss.  I am not sure of what would happen if shot into the ear or the roof of the mouth.  If the victim lived, it might never be the same.\nUnlike the water bullet, if the blood was the vicitm's, I do not think this could be discovered.  I loved the question.


This was traditional for so long, New Years Day, we all gathered in front of the American tv to eat, drink and recover from New Years Eve, watching The Rose Parade followed by several college football games, Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, etc...\n\nNow, The Rose Bowl is not until the 4th and there are games all day Monday the 2nd, when only priveleged folks are off from work.\n\nWhy???

Because the NFL is on that day.  The NFL won't compete with NCAA and vice-versa.  There will once again be Bowl Games on New Year's Day 2007.

There's much talk about Web 2.0 these days among savvy Internet people. But how would you explain what it is about to a non-techie Internet newbie? In other words, how would you explain Web 2.0 in pure lay man's term?

Web 2.0\nAn umbrella term for the second wave of the World Wide Web. Web 2.0 implies an information and computing platform rather than a content storehouse. Sometimes called the "New Internet," Web 2.0 promotes thin client computing, where everything is stored on servers (on the Web), and a user has access from any laptop or desktop computer via a Web browser. Client applications that do not require the browser can also be downloaded at any time from the Web.\n\n\nThe Social Phenomenon\n\nWeb 2.0 also implies a Web-centric source for all information and entertainment, including news, weather, stocks, reference, podcasts, videos and streaming media. Blogs, Wikis and online communities such as Friendster are also part of the second wave of the Web.\n\n\nWeb Evolution\n\nIn the mid-1990s, the Web began (Web 1.0) as a repository of information and static content. Within a couple years, a huge amount of content was dynamic, returning custom results to users. By the turn of the century, the Web became more interactive (Web 1.5), allowing users to play, stop, rewind and fast forward through audio and video content. In the discussion of Web 2.0, the 1.0 and 1.5 generation labels are sometimes used, but they are not rigidly defined.\n\n\nWhat Enabled Web 2.0?\n\nBandwidth and power. Faster in many cases than the T1 lines in the enterprise, cable and DSL hookups have given high-speed connections to small businesses and home offices. In addition, the entry level computer has gotten powerful enough to execute JavaScript and Java code in an HTML page without noticeable delays. The combination of increased bandwidth and local processing power, as well as increased server power and refinements in server applications, make the Web an extension of the user's computer just as if it were connected to the local network (LAN).


I'm sorry but I absolutely can't stand the concept. Why do people feel such a burning need to have tv on that they would have to have it in the car? How is this not obnoxious? Please don't say "To shut up the kids" I tought prek for years and I handled 20-30 at a time. I have no sympathy there sorry. Am I totally alone in feeling this way?


I was "con" by this guy in eBay. Sent me junk using UPS and claimed it was working. I got the UPS claim but UPS insist the money should be sent to the shipper. So now he got both my money and UPS's money. and simply walked away.  The whole transaction was done using paypal. So I filed claim again at paypal. Paypal never did help me . Instead, they closed the case without listening. \n\nI couldnt do anything to eBay, Paypal, UPS and let alone that crook in Arizona. Alan Peng.. Are you reading this.  \n\nwhat should I do?  Let this crook walk away and laugh?

That happened to me not too long ago. I closed the Paypal account because of all the trouble I had. Money kept going out of my account to Paypal and I wasn't ordering anything. Then, I ordered something that was less than $20 dollars, so EBAY would not refund the money. The seller claimed they shipped it and DHL told me that only the seller could file the claim. I never got my money or my product and PayPal was no help. \nIf it's PayPal, I don't even buy it anymore.


my girlfriends nickname is honey bear and i was just wanting to tell it to her in spanish

I'd say "osito de miel". \n\nBut you might want to check first, because this phrase might not have the same cute, sweet connotations that "honey bear" has in English.  The cultural beliefs about animals are different.

My ankle has been hurting for about 2 weeks now. And it has just been getting worse. I havent sprained or twisted it or anything, I just woke up one day and it hurt, and now it hurts worse. My boyfriend thinks it could be a bone spur, and he said it usually last about a month. I'm soooo sick of limping.......Any Ideas?

I would have it checked out by your local othopedic specialist. It could be something serious, or like your boyfriend said, a bone spur.


this is on my Bio 2 study guide and I don't have my book so I was hoping that someone knew the answer

When they lose the elasticity and their diameter is narrowed the blood flow to the organs dimnished.  So the tissue in the organs do not get proper blood supply.  High BP, Myocardial infarction ( heart atack), Stroke (Hemiplegia),etc  are the result.


please share your opinion and visit my blog site http://360.yahoo.com/bcrayton8405

i read your blog and nothing anyone can tell you here could be more satisfying than your theory.  you're going to get people either just saying one or the other, or explaining to you what the big bang is or why god is important.  the way you integrated everything in your head is good, and you should be happier with that than any answer from either side anyone may give you.  i agree, except my opinions lean more toward the science side because of my classes in biology and such.  i like where you said god got bored, that's a good way of looking at it.  i think even after the big bang, he played less of a role as people think, like maybe he guided along evolution or something, created that first spark of life and plays with mutations here and there, little experiments.  You'd probably have to take more bio courses to realize how much evidence there actually is for evolution and how smoothly it goes and stuff, but for now, your idea will work better than anyone from either side.\n\noh, as far as your latest blog thing, you would get stuck in the center of the earth, not go all the way through and pop out the other side, because gravity is measured from the center of an object..  Gravity would decrease as you went down, until you got to the center, where you would be weightless, but you wouldn't be able to 'fall' back up, because you would be pulled to the center again.  Everyone on all parts of the earth experience gravity to the same degree.

Has anyone seen either The Chronicles of Narnia or Harry Potter 4? Did you like it?

Harry Potter was amazing. There was some mind-blowing special effects, too. It also helps that it is my absolute favorite book in the series.


Can any body please give detail information?

Santa Claus goes by many different names around the world. He is also known as Father Christmas over here in the UK, or Chris Cringle in some parts of the world. He is the guy that travels around the world on Christmas Eve and delivers presents to all of the good boys and girls. He does this on his magic sleigh that flies in the sky and is pulled by his reindeers. He is a belief of the Christian religion prodominately.


and how do I make typing a keyword into the address bar back into 'I'm feeling lucky' with google (eg if you type in wikipedia and hit ENTER it would take you to en.wikipedia.org but now after installing the Yahoo! toolbar it brings up a yahoo search page - I want I'm feeling lucky back)

For your first question, just click on the icon that is showing in the top right hand corner(search engine icon). It will show a drag down list of the search engines that you have stored. Just select Google if you have it or else just add it.  As for the other one, I don't understand what you mean.


Hi All ,\n  I want to deliver a video file through my site.So what i planned is, first i will show a form with two radio buttons each describing the internet connection speed. When a user chooses, say 28 kbps , i want to deliver the content & also if he chooses 56 kbps , i want to deliver the content . SO as to do this , whether i have to keep two versions of the same file encoded for two different connection speeds?\n\nPlease help me\nThanks in advance\nRaja

Yes, you will need 2 versions - one encoded for 28kbps and one encoded for 56 kbps.\n\nHowever, Windows Media Player 9 and later will automatically work out what rate to serve and you only need 1 file for Windows Media Player 9 users.  You would serve these guys the high rate encoded stream.

Sugar is one of the main ingredients in the starters of heat-related combustion devices...such as dymanite.\nA mixture of Potassium chlorate + sugar, plus a very small amount of sulfuric acid, will grow to be about 6000 degrees Farenheit.


A. the bal keeps wanting to go up\nB. the bal keeps wanting to go down\nC. Nothing happens

Depending on the volume of compressible air within, the weight and density of the ball material, the density of the water and the pressure on the ball, it will first keep wanting to go up until it is compressed so far that there is an equilibrium, i.e. nothing happens. When the pressure increases further, the ball might become heavier than the water and sink down - depending on the density of the material and its compressibility.


If I cheat on my boyfriend because he never puts out?\nI honestly get sex once a month. If I'm lucky!!!!

You're not cheating, you're just outsourcing your orgasms. That's not horrible, it's just practical. If he wants you to be faithful, he should keep up with your needs.


Texas / Mack Brown's football team is ranked #2 and will meet #1 ranked USC in the Rose Bowl for the national championship.\n\nRick Barnes' Longhorns basketball team also carries a #2 national ranking into Saturday's showdown with #1 Duke in East Rutherford, N.J.\n\nAugie Garrido's baseball team won the College World Series championship seven months ago (Texas' second in four years). With the entire starting rotation and a powerhouse outfield back returning, the Longhorns may entered the 2006 season as a consensus #1.\n\nIs this a trifecta in the making?\n\nWhat universities have two major national champsionships in the same year?

I've always had my friends & even people that I don't know very well come to me for advice. I've considered going to school for psychology but don't know if I want to at my age. Sure, having a degree is fine but do you really think all of that booklearning really helps people with their problems? Or, is it more helpful to have a compassionate ear & a sense of what someone needs?

Good question...The more and better education you get will help you get an entry-level job or a promotion.  However, most employers prefer experience.  Thus, I would say experience is more important, but education is very important to qualify for a job.  It also may be the reason why you get promoted when someone else does not.


The two of us and another person have been studying all semester. Although I have felt a real connection, I am fearful of acting on it becaue I am afraid of ruining a friendship I really enjoy.  \nWe are both single parents, we have similar values and she is more beautiful than I can possibly describe. \nIt seems that any excuse we can make to get together we do but i do not know if it is because we are both really stressed out, if it is a friendship thing or what.\nI am very confused and have been balancing between being transparent and being coy trying to gauge her reaction.\nDo I just wait and see what happens or do I take the bull by the horns and just tell her?

Go for it.  Take the chance.  Cause she might have the same feelings and you don't know it.  Maybe she is waiting for you to say something.  So like I said go for it,  Tell her that you felt a connection.  You won't know till you try it. \n\nGOOD LUCK!


I had sex 3wks ago and my period was very light and now its normal.  Not only that but my breast had been very sore.  And are still swollen.  Is there any way where I could be on my period and still be pregant.  When is the best time to get a pregnancy test done?

Usually two weeks after a missed period is the best time to be tested.  A blood test is the most accurate way to determine if you are pregnant or not. Menstrual irregularities can also be caused by stress, infection, medications, and hormonal imbalances.


What is the standard treatment?  What precautions should one take?  Are there any standard medications?

The key to treating -- and preventing -- impetigo is good personal hygiene and a clean environment. Once the infection occurs, prompt attention will keep it under control and prevent its spread.\n\nA topical mupirocin ointment, available only by prescription, is highly successful in treating routine cases. Don't try over-the-counter antibacterial ointments; they are too weak to kill strep and staph infections, and applying the ointment carelessly may actually spread the impetigo. If mupirocin does not help in 48 hours, ask your doctor about an oral antibiotic such as Keflex or Zithromax.

My Aunt hates me so every year I send a Christmas card with a picture of my beautiful family to show them how happy I am.  Would I be better off pulling her from my list, or is it ok to poke at her once in a while?

I would continue sending the cards (as long as there is nothing hateful nor taunting written in 'em...).  \n\nRegardless of whether they bring a warm feeling in her heart or make her cringe, I'm guessing either reaction would bring a smile on your face - so, why not?  ;)

For 12 yrs i have dealt with a beastly disabling autoimmune disease called "Mixed Collagen Vascular Disease" which means certain protiens {antibodies} Targetmybody.Ihavelupus,ra,sjogrens,raynauds,scleroderma,hashiomotos,polymyositis/I recently changed Rheumatologist.I was taken off methotrexate {she didnt think i had polymyositis} came back vaca my cpk count was up to 2,500 which means i had lots of muscle damage norm is 21.put on lge doses of pred & metho.I also have taken plaquenil for 12 yrs keeps lupus stable.\ni called to reschedule appt.Was told i had to get blood work before refill on methotrex.,didnt hear from them called had to have rx faxed to them yearly eye exam for plaquenil to get refill.Called optometrist to fax them results.waited,in immense pain muscle cramps,never should you be taken off plaquenil or any meds that fast.fri spoke w nasty nurse,now have sores in mouth its tues.no Dr.NO MEDS,NO CALL.HELP!

You CANNOT wait around for them to contact you.  \nContact your doctor's answering service right NOW and inform them you will be in office the minute they open, appointment or no appointment.  If the pain is too much to handle then it's time for you to go to the Emergency Room.  If you have any problems when you get there, lie down on the floor in front of the receptionist and start screeching loudly about the pain.  You WILL be assisted.


I moved to a new state a year ago and its been hard to make friends. Recently a girl in one of my classes came up to me and we have had a few conversations since then. I really think she likes me, but I think that maby I might end up scaring her off because I don't talk much(I'm really shy and can never find something to say), and I really don't hang out with anyone at school because it's really hard to make friends in a big high school like I moved to. Sure I talk to a few guys in class, but I really don't have any good friends here to hang out with or talk to. How do I win this girl over and make some friends before its too late? A year of quiet nights at home is torture. :(

Simple thought... ask her to a movie, then you have some conversation for dinner.  It creates the common ground (the movie), so that the conversation will be mostly about the movie this time around.  You don't have to say much and then get to talk about the movie during dinner.

There's something in my science textbook about Taxol, a substance taken from the bark of some sorta yew tree yadda yadda yadda, and it's given to cancer patient. It supposedly creates a sort of "cage" around cancer cells to stop them from reproducing, and reduces tumors this way. \n\nI thought a tumor was a mass of cancer cells that formed together. Does the taxol "cage" form around the whole tumor or individual cancer cells? But if taxol just stops the cells from reproducing, how does it make a mass of them smaller, or how does it form around every tumor cell if it's one big mass? \n\nAm I wrong about everything here, or have I just forgotten one thing? Is this just a big deal about a simple answer? Please reply if you know, I'm very confused over here!

Taxol is a new concept in the treatment of cancer because it acts on the microtubules found in cells, whereas earlier anti cancer drugs act on the DNA of the cancer cells. Microtubules  are responsible for keeping the shape of the cell by forming a structure called the cytoskeleton. They are also involved in controlling the positions of chromosomes during cell division.\nMolecules of a cellular protein called tubulin link together to form microtubules, but in the presence of Taxol, these microtubules are shorter than normal and very stable. Due to this, the microtubules cannot carry out their function during cell division. The cell becomes congested with these microtubules and therefore the cycle of cell division (mitosis) is disrupted and cell death occurs.


besides the obvious hallucinations and such do shrooms have any health effects? from what ive heard they dont, but i was wondering what everyone else has heard.

I  am trying to attract more bids to my eBay auction of World Coins. I am a Square Trade seller. I use scans. I have 99.9% positive feedback. Any suggestions to improve on the number of bids per item?

I've found that one of the best ways to maximize the number of bids is to start your auction with a lower price.  Consider .99 cents; it will generally bump up the total number of bids, but will also cost you less to list the auction!\n\nAs for when you start and end your auctions, you really have to consider your audience and research what time of day other folks are getting the best prices for their wares.  I try to start most auctions on Sunday night at 6 PM Pacific time (eBay's default time is Pacific time).  However, most of what I sell is bought by people here in the states -- if you have more international buyers, then a different time might work better for you.\n\nHope this helps!


When people, young and old, are faced with the challenge of keeping their pants up, why do they go to belts more than suspenders (aka braces)?

because belts are in style now. however, if they don't work very well [aka on skinny people or on people who don't wear the right sizes] then they go to suspenders. i've been to dances wear the almost anorexic guys [who aren't geeks, btw] wear suspenders.


what is the meaning of family.not blood but the meaning?

should we spend billions to go to space, or should we use that money to fight wars and wipe ourselves of the face of the earth (i know the money can be used for better things, but for arguement sake...)\n\nshould we come to together as a human race, one people and explore this huge space around us, pushing our civilazation, thought process, philosophies, ideologies (but to name a few) to the very edge of space as we know it, helping us evolve once again as a people or should we be content with earth, continually fighting over natural reources that if managed well might be enuf to go around \n\nlets discuss

I say we spend billions in space.  Here is my reasoning, "Idle hands are the devils playthings", and if we're not doing constructive we're going to do something terribly stupid like blow ourselves off the face of the earth.\nSecondly, the survival of the human race depends on reaching out to space and colonizing other planets.  Whether it can be done or not is another question, but waiting for ourlseves to blow ourselves to kingdom come isn't a option I'm interested in taking.  As for evolving, thats entirely correct, because if we push out to somewhere new we can leave behind the things that we could never get over at home (like trivial matters of me being black or you being white, etc).  Some humans just wont let things go foward, and if thats the case why not leave them behind?  Its what America was about when it started, except there isn't anywhere else to go except up now days.  Otherwise we're just recycling ourselves on this planet, with one government falling so another can rise up which thinks its infallable.  Still, despite all that, we've got to be practical about space travel instead of believing we'll get there in 10 to 20 years.  Just because it wont have for us isn't a reason not to do it either, making others miserable just because your miserable is no way to go through life, even if the people your making miserable are five generations down the line.

I know all yoga has benefits. Which variety is best for building strength and fitness?

Ashtanga is great, like the above answer says.  However, I find a traditional ashtanga practice to be too rigid - it's the exact same poses every class, and much of the primary series (which will be the focus of most ashtanga classes you get at gyms, studios, etc.) is a seated sequence that I find rather monotonous.  In most ashtanga classes, each posture is held for 5 breaths.\n\nI prefer a vinyasa flow style or "power yoga" class (which has roots in ashtanga, but is not as rigid - its sequencing is pretty much up to the instructor).  In terms of strength and fitness, Bikram Yoga is great for cardio/strength - it is a fixed sequence of 26 postures done in a room heated to 90-something degrees.  You will likely either love Bikram or hate it - if you try it, be sure to hydrate well in the 24 hours before you go, and bring a lot of water and a large towel (or 2) - you sweat a LOT (I'm not a fan of this form of yoga, for a couple of reasons, one being that I get so dehydrated afterwards no matter how much water I drink that I get pounding headaches; also I find it hard to hold some of the postures when I am literally soaked from head to toe).  The purpose of heating the room to such a degree is that your muscles are more pliable as they heat up, and you can more easily get into postures.\n\nOther types I find physically challenging - Jivamukti, Iyengar (can be a slower flow, but is challenging because you hold the poses for longer and really focus on alignment), Forrest (each pose is held for a really long time) and Taoist (I had a great Taoist teacher who moved away - most studios don't offer this style, it's not really mainstream in my experience).\n\nTypes that you may want to stay away from (more spiritual and/or restorative than physical) - Kundalini, Kripalu, Svaroopa.  Hatha classes can be harder, or more geared towards beginners - it really depends on the instructor.  \n\nGood luck - I've been practicing yoga for about 4 years, and it is one of the best things I ever started doing.  If I can help with class/studio recommendations in your area, let me know!


A follow on from my question about salaries, this is really trying to understand why people care so much about what celebrities do.\n\nWhy E! TV? Who cares whos sleeping with / marrying who? Why is some dim witted actors opinion on politics or science more important than that of an expert? \n\nAnd why the hell does anyone care what anyone is wearing? Let alone dedicate whole shows to it?\n\nDo you have to be below a certain intelligence level to love celebrities so? Or is it a social disease and is it curable?

Well,\n\nthere are some people and there are many people\n\nthese "many people" start loving these "some people"\n\nwhen that love becomes greater than some odd number x, the "some people" are called celebrities.\n\nSince "many people" have already started loving the "some people" who are now called as celebrities, they continue to love them.


Hello,\n\nI've seen on talk shows, when someone wanted to remain anonymous, they used some kind of computer or something to make their voice sound weird, deep, garbled.  Sounds kind of like a demon or something.\n\nHow can I do that with my voice (besides slowing it down)?  Is it a kind of software I must use, or a filter I'd need to pass a .wav file through?

The easiest way is to use a text to speech voice synthesizer software. The link I am providing gives you an example of what i am referring to.\n\nhttp://public.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php


whats the average and whats the highest \nand whats your opinion

"the longest that humans can hold their breath for is about 2 1/2 minutes, and this is for pearl divers who make a living by holding their breath underwater. Most of us can only hold our breath for 1 minute."  (see Source)\n\nI think that there are extremes (world record holders) that are nowhere near the average.\n\nI read somewhere that there's a trick to holding your breath for a long time, and it is to eliminate the nitrogen from your body.  I forget how you do it (sorry), but the point was that it's the presence of nitrogen, not the absence of oxygen, that causes the FIRST problem for humans.

Actually, you need to include the recovery amount as part of your gross income the year you got them.\n\nFor instance, you got 2001 taxable year state refund in 2004.  You need to include the 2001 state refund (part or all) in the tax year 2004.\n\nAnyhow, you should have got a 1099-G in the year 2004.\n\nOf course, Pub 525 tells you how to determine what is the correct amount of recovery. \n\nI received a Form 1099-G, for my state tax refund. Do I have to include this amount as income on my return?\n\nIf you did not itemize your deductions on your Federal tax return for the same year as the state or local tax refund applies to, do not report any of the refund as income. \n\nIf you itemized deductions on your Federal tax return for 2003, and received a refund of state or local taxes in 2004, you may have to include all or part of the refund as income on your 2004 tax return. Report your taxable State or Local Refunds on Form 1040, Line 10. You cannot use Form 1040A or 1040EZ. Refer to Tax Topic 405, Refund of State and Local Taxes , and Publication 525 , Taxable and Nontaxable Income , for further information.


I want to rebuild my computer, my original one is now fried and 4 years old. Have been busy so have not been able to keep up with everything going on in motherboards  in general.

An socket 939 AMD board that supports the latest/fastest 64-bit processors,has gigabit LAN and takes up to 4 gigs of memory.

Need it for Social Studies Exam tomorrow.

Here is a teaser, read the bottom for the rest\n\nSamuel de Champlain (1567?-1635) was a French explorer and navigator who mapped much of northeastern North America and started a settlement in Quebec. Champlain also discovered the lake named for him (Lake Champlain, on the border of northern New York state and Vermont, named in 1609) and was important in establishing and administering the French colonies in the New World.\n\nIn 1603, Champlain sailed to France on Francois Grave Du Pont's expedition. They sailed up the St. Lawrence River and the Saguenay River; they also explored the Gaspe Peninsula. He returned to France in 1603, and decided to search for a Northwest Passage and to settle the Gaspe Peninsula. \n\nYou can find the rest of the details here\n\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/explorers/page/c/champlain.shtml


What files do I need to backup when I want to backup Outlook XP in a win XP Pro environment. Where do I find this file/s?

The Personal Folder file (.pst / PST) is the place where Outlook stores its data (when you're using Outlook without Microsoft® Exchange Server). Each Personal Folder file contains all of your Outlook folders, including the Inbox, Calendar, and Contacts. \n\nYou may have a single .pst file (usually called "Internet Folders" or "Personal Folders" in your Folder List), and you may also have an additional .pst file that you use to archive messages (named "Archive Folders"). By backing up these PST files you will be backing up all your Outlook information . \n\nThe hard part is locating the files...for a detailed tutorial, including other files to back up take a look at this link:\n\nhttp://www.sitedeveloper.ws/tutorials/outlook.htm

i need to find out how to clear out old serches from search bar , ive tried tools internet options,and did all cookies ,  but they r still there?

You need to do what is called, Clear History. There are a few add-on programs out there which offer the option to clear your search history when you exit IE or clear it as you use the program. The first (& best one) that I've ever used is called Power Toys & was developed by folks working for Microsoft. It is, however, a program that is not supported by MS. Still, there are a number of things that you can do with it.\n\nTry going to download.com & searching for "tweaks"; you should come up with a number of things that might be of interest to you. Just be aware that many of this type of program make changes to internal files on your computer, such as, possibly, your registry. Be sure to follow ALL directions & make back-ups. If you are comfortable with your computer, however, you can do a lot of nifty things to speed it up & customize it to your wants or needs.\n\nGood luck!


sorry, it is not white people.   white come from a prime color.

The most modern or civilized in all aspects; knowledge, infrastructure, all-efficient and others  but most of all, the kindest of people; never fighting, never provoking, never misunderstanding, always sharing, always together, always passing on knowledge, always honest and all the other good deeds they do.\n\nIt only seems impossible to find these people unless we become them.\nThe least we can do is to learn from our own mistakes and rise every time we fall, not blaming others.\n\nAh, yes. There is also another definition of the master race. During the Nazi time, Hitler ordered that all German people were to be measured their physiques. Those with smaller skulls, noses, mouthes, or ears were to be eliminated as Hitler only believed that those whose physiques were big are the only "masters". That is their general statement which is lame.

Mental retardation is the most common and serious birth defect associated with FAS.  Perhaps the most notable defects in FAS involve the face and eyes. In general, these defects are obvious and include facial bone hypoplasia (under-development), a long, underdeveloped philtrum (the groove in the middle of the upper lip), a thin upper lip, a short nose, and ptosis (drooping of the eyelids). Although the typical facial features may not be as apparent during the newborn period, they become more prominent as the infant develops. As these children grow into young adulthood, however, the facial abnormalities become more subtle and thereby contribute to the difficulty of recognizing FAS in older persons. With these physical abnormalities come sensory deficits that frequently involve vision, hearing and speech. Hyperacusis (abnormal acuteness of hearing) is common in infants, and approximately one third of these infants have a conductive hearing loss and another one-third have a sensorineural hearing loss. More than 90 percent of infants with FAS have delays in receptive and expressive language development.


I have Win XP Tablet edition.  Credential Manager came loaded and starts up each time I load Windows.  I don't use it and don't want to use it.  I want it out of my System Tray and out of my life.  Please help.

Here is one way you might do this.  Go to Start > Run and type "msconfig" without the quotes and click "OK" or press Enter.  Then go to the Startup tab and see if you can find it in that list.  If you can, deselect it and click "OK".  Windows will ask to restart, do so and Credential Manager should be gone.\n\nWhile you're there you might want to get rid of other stuff you don't use as well.  If you aren't sure if you can get rid of something or not, see http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/ for more details on various startup and Windows processes.\n\nI find it easier just to do a Google search on the various startup programs to see if I need them or not and usually the first link takes me to the exact page on the above site.\n\nAlso, see if Credential Manager is in Add/Remove Programs and see if it is possible to uninstall it, that's another way.\n\nEither of these solutions will remove it from your life.\n\nIt appears that Credential Manager is not part of Windows but is instead provided by a third party.  It seems that HP/Compaq include this on their tablets.  The only other information I could find out about it was from HP, http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/Compaqtabletpc/us/download/22540.html

If your answer is no, why did christ established a church(Mat 16:18)? Are we saying that christ, the Son of GOD, established something insignificant?\n\nI'm just wondering why others believe so.

No, as long as you have god in your heart, he will have room in his heart for you.

Re: the Yahoo! question "What is a yoke?" [qid=1005122500503]\n\n'Rams' answer explained the difference between (and relationship of) accepting the Savior and accepting His Lordship. (Why don't the mainstream denominations teach that? ...I ask rhetorically. A better question is: 'Where/what organization teaches that?')\n\nAnother aspect of Christianity which doesn't seem to have a well-defined connection to Christian growth is picking-up a cross and following the Messiah.\n\nBesides signing-on for salvation-by-grace and getting fitted for an easy yoke, how does shouldering a cross tie-in with that? A cross is a symbol of suffering & death. Does that effectively cancel-out the easy yoke?

It was Jesus who said that His yoke was easy and His burden light. He is also the one who said to take up your cross and follow Him. I believe the latter refers to the shame of the cross and the suffering that comes from being identified with Christ. Condemned prisoners were required to carry their crosses to humiliate them, sort of like the perp walk. This was a symbol of their guilt. I think this may be why Jesus fell under the weight of the cross and someone else was ordered to carry it. It wasn't His cross that He died on, it was ours. If you are having problems with people abusing the GIFT of God to continue to live in rebellion against Him, then we are in agreement. These people's faith is shallow and insincere, thus it's false. They may have heard some sort of message and were asked if they believe it and they said yes. This doesn't mean that they came to a full realization or understanding within their hearts of who Jesus really is, why He had to die, and why they need Him. True converts are led to Him by the internal promptings of the Holy Spirit who convicts them of their sin and God's wrath against them. They are moved to repentance and driven to seek refuge in God's mercy and grace through faith in His son Jesus. It is our guilt-ridden consciences that keep us from God just like it did Adam and Eve. Simple and genuine faith in Jesus for our justification gives our conscience peace with God. This produces within us, by the Holy Spirit, great joy, a grateful and carefree heart, and love. If these things motivate you to righteous living then the yoke truly will be light. If fear and guilt, however, are your motivators then you will find yourself trying(and failing)to earn God's favor by cold hearted legalistic efforts to keep a set of rules.


You can check some of these issues if they are important to you. \n\nAsk around and consider their customer service record. What ratings have they received from independent rating organizations? \n\nEvaluate their franchise for consistency. Many Hotel’s are franchised so you’ll want to see how the particular location fits into the Hotel’s chain. Find out how the chain rates this particular property within their organization. \n\nConsider their Hotel policies, are they favorable to you or do they penalize you in some way. \n\nFind out what partnerships they have that could save you money in other areas. Many Hotels have agreements with airlines, rental car or credit card companies. \n\nSee if they credit your frequent flyer or frequent guest programs with points. \n\nCheck the Hotel Chain's locations. Does their Hotel chain have locations where you travel? Do they have international locations? \n\nCheck the individual hotel's location.  Is their airport hotel really close to the airport? \n\nEvaluate their facility. When were the rooms last remodeled? Does it have the types of features you need? How well does it suit your need for the quick overnight stay or the weeklong resort vacation? Do they have business suites or meeting rooms available if you need them?

i have grown up in a very carnivorous family and i am not super fond of many vegitables, so i dont know what i would eat...any ideas or comments? \ni would like to become vegie. for health reasons and also to support my beliefs.

my husband is vegan and doesn't eat that many vegetables, either.  to replace meat, you need to get your proteins from things like beans (excellent source, esp. w/ rice).  You can eat them in tacos and burritos - add some guacamole and whatever else you want, yum yum!  Also, there are a lot of really good meat replacers - even for the finicky!  Morningstar Farms, Boca, and Amy's all make really great meatless burgers, franks, corndogs, nuggets, pot pies - there are SO many options nowadays.  if you have a Whole Foods or Wild Oats or other big health food store, go browse the frozen food aisles and/or ask someone for vegetarian options for a newbie - and good luck!


Is it true that lefthanded people are academically etc. Surerior? I heard they were, but I haven't been able to find information. Please Help.

Not actually, in fact from olden times, they were inferior.  The myth goes that left-handed and right-handed people were in equal numbers.  However, the human heart is slightly on the left side of the body.  So during a war a right-handed person held his shield in the left hand which protected his heart from a direct enemy strike.  However, for a left-handed person, he held a sword in his left hand and so the possibility of him taking a fatal strike on the heart was manifold.  This probably resulted in the death of a lot of left-handed people making the right-handed people a majority.  The left-handed people who survived were smart enough to protect themselves, and hencce, the myth that left-handed people are superior.

It's a very good question. But it would be even better if you asked other way around. \n\nBecause, people who are left-handed are right. cz left side of the brain controls the muscles and also it is a bit faster than left.\n\nBut if you ask the other way around, that why many of us do it wrong?

because, it meant that energy and mass are basically the same thing.  this is pretty contrary to our everyday experience, and in fact it is only a noticeable effect when there are very large energies involved.  so, at the time there was basically no experimental evidence to show that this equation was correct!  nevertheless einstein derived this equation, and the rest of the theory of general relativity, based on mathematical principles alone.  only afterwards were experiments done and he was shown to be right!  \n\nthis is part of the reason einstein is so celebrated as a genius - his correct prediction of the equivalence of energy and mass.

I DOWNLOADED ALOT OF INFORMATION INTO ABOUT 10 FOLDERS, I NO LONGER NEED THIS INFORMATION, HOW CAN I DELETE THE FOLDERS.  I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO TO PULL THEM UP. I TRIED TO DIRECTLY DELETE BY OPENING THE FOLDER HOWEVER I STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT. THANKS

Find the folder you want to delete then right click on it with your mouse, scroll down to where it says delete  and delete. Sometimes I have to delete everything in the folder before it will let me delete the folder. If this doesn't work, you must check the properties of the folder and make sure it isn't write protected. You can ask how to do that here also.


Who knows C# and C++ well summarise the differences?

There are big differences between C# and C++.\n\nC++ is an older language and is not tied to any particular platform.  It is somewhat object-oriented, and the compiler compiles it to native machine code, which means it is generally faster and less safe.\n\nC# is a newer language that only works in .NET, which these days means Windows.  It is very object-oriented (similar to Java), and it compiles to an intermediate language (the .NET IL), which means the code may run a little slower but is safer.\n\nFor more information, read the articles below.  These languages don't really have much in common except a lot of syntax and the "C" in their names.

"The Devil and Tom Walker" was first published in 1824 as part of Washington Irving's collection of short stories Tales of a Traveller. The story was included in Part IV of the book, also known as the "Money-Diggers" series of stories. Gentleman Geoffrey Crayon, a fictional character created by the author, narrates the tale. He never refers to himself by name, however, but he states that the story has been a legend of the New England area for roughly a hundred years. Though the story has been widely read and enjoyed since its first appearance, the book Tales of a Traveller was poorly received by critics who complained that its writing was weak and unoriginal. The short story was a relatively new form of fiction at the time, and many of its conventions were still being defined by such writers as Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Some critics have given this as a reason for the artistic failure of many of the collection's stories.


They aren't being very good to me in the sense that they told me that I cannot ask for those days off yet people of lower rank were allowed to do so.

it depends on the nature of your job. u weren't really specific as to what industry you're in.  but if the office needs you, then go to work. and if you really think that the work you're in right now is stiffling your freedom, think it over a million times before you decide to quit. sure there are places with greener pastures, be sure u'll end up in one of those places if ever u decide to move on.

I have broadband internet conection. cable entered to switch. and through switch all network users accessing internet.\ni want to give permission only 3 users out of 16.\ni have domain based simple lan.\npls help me as soon as possible.\n\nRegards

Cheapest way would be to turn off dhcp then manually setup the IP configs of each machine only putting in DNS on the 3 you want to hit the net. Surely you have a brother in law or local geek that can do that for ya.\n\nNext cheapest depending on physical location you could also add cards and new cable just to the machines you want on the internet.  You'd use the local lan for local ip traffic and the Internet lan for internet traffic. You may already have the ability to do this via wireless and not have to add cables depending on the router at the internet connection.\n\nIf you have a programmable router at the internet connection there may be a way to give permissions to just 3 machines.  If you don't you could put one in between the internet connection and your switch.   Each switch is different so I can't give you specific instructions.  You'll need help from your geek friend to pick one out and set it up.\n\nThe Cyber cafe's idea will work but might be expensive in cost / time as it's overkill for what you need.

I can't comment on whether it works well or not but it's shareware so you can try before you buy.  Note: Software solutions are sub-optimal to the hardware type solutions I mentioned.


I want to see if you know how to kill a zombie... I'm a person who have seen and killed a zombie before...

Assume a constant amount of rain, windshield at 45 degreee angle.  Take out any aerodynamic issues that could blow wind away from the car.

The "rate of wetting" is the same, I believe.  So whether your car is moving or not, over the SAME PERIOD OF TIME, the wetness is identical.\n\nSomeone might mistake this with another question of "should you  run or walk from your car to your restaurant when it is raining?"  There though similarly the "rate of wetting" is the same, the time of would be shorter if you run, hence the overall level of wetness would be less if you run vs. if you walk.

i put them on and tried soaking them in acetone and  i also tried a off brand nail polish remover but not working. it looks like 1 of my toe nails came off trying to get one off. what can i do to remove them? i thought gasoline as the last resort lol.

The acetone should work - I've done my nails several times.  However, if you don't soak the nails for a sufficient amount of time, then no, they won't come off.  Also, you have to file off the residue left behind with a nail file - the acetone won't take the nail off cleanly.  Oh yeah, don't use gasoline, cuz if you smoke, you might blow!  :)


Whenever I talk with people I tend to get overexcited and dominate the conversation, how can I overcome this?

i do the same thing. try and just ask a question and let the other person talk. people love to talk about themselves just relax and let the conversation go where it will. and if you are like me treat them as if you dont want to talk to them when i do this i tend to clam up and give little or no verbal feedback which for most people makes them talk even more.


its very tough for meee.in wht way is it related to comp field....


Get estimates from other orthodontists. You are not bound by the estimate of only one doctor.\n\nIf you've done so already, I agree with the other comment. Orthodontists normally let you have a financial plan, where you pay monthly. You may not get a discount (i.e. when you pay in full up front), but you can divide up your payments.\n\nIf you have insurance, you can also look into a Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Insurance companies allow you to put money into this account (for each fiscal year) and claim orthodontic treatment services when they've been performed. So you pay the orthodontist first and then submit claim forms. What you save are on taxes. Because the money that goes into the FSA are directly from your paycheck and pre-tax, you receive more money from the insurance/FSA claims.\n\nI had similar thoughts about finding cheaper treatments. Regardless of cost, you should really consider the quality of an orthodontist because they are dealing with your teeth and facial traits.


I was recently approved for a Walmart Credit card issued by GE money bank.  (Not a visa or anything,just a store card), and I requested a credit increase because my initial credit was only $75.  Then I checked on my account today and it said I had zero credit available and apparently they have closed my account without reason.  I have never been late on a payment.  I havent even got the first bill yet and I have already made one payment.  Shouldn't that count for something?

They should not have cancelled your card just becasue you asked for a credit-increase.\n\ntry calling the customer service, and ask them why they cancelled your card... I think it is some sort of miscommunication.

This sounds like you need to consult an ALLERGIST you are possibly reacting to something under your nails or in the air I found that once I began an allergy remedy I stopped having reactions like that.  After my test I found out I was allergic to human hair...go figure right?  Keep your nails short and take good care of your skin.  I use Mary Kay on my whole body to keep it all properly hydrated and exfoliated.  When you talk to your consultant she will customize it for you ( ie men use no color or foundation or you may be allergic to a fragrance)  but here is what I generally recommend for the facial care...\n\nTry the Mary Kay skin care line with customized skin care products for acne. The best thing to with your skin is always to keep it clean as well as treating breakouts. This helps prevent breakouts. \n\nThere are five steps to basic skin care:  \n1. Cleanse\n2. Exfoliate\n3. Tone/Freshen\n4. Moisturize\n5. Protect\n\nThe Mary Kay 3 in 1 cleanser can do the first three steps in one. The fifth step is protect. You want to use an oil free foundation which our formulas for dry normal combo and oily skin are all oil free. When your skin is protected with foundation you can wash off the impurities that your skin catches in the air. The foundation catches the irritants and impurities instead of them getting into your pores causing further breakouts. Mary Kay is satisfaction guaranteed. So if you try it and it doesnt work for you you can get different products or your money back. \n\nAlso it is so important that when you are using skin care you use one line be it Mary Kay or Avon or a Walmart brand. They are formulated to work with one another. Mixing products not designed to work together can cause reactions in some people. ;) \n\nTo even out skin tone you of course need to keep your skin exfoliated but also use a solution like our day and night solution.  The day solution has SPF 25 in it and the Night Solution has Vitamin A and E and more in them.  These collagen inducing products help to tighten and firm the skin as well as even out tone.  You can add in our Microdermabrasion once or twice a week to totally exfoliate and remove dead skin.  The second step of our microderm set will return your skin to its proper PH balance so you will not be rough or dry afterwards.  \n\nI reccomend using products as follows but like I said all skin care must be customized for an individual.\n\nTimewise 3 in 1 Cleanser (customized for skin type)\nTimewise Day Solution (at night use Night Solution)\nTimewise Moisturizer (customized for skin type)\nTimewise Firming Eye cream\nAdditional moisturizers if needed(intense for dry spots etc)\nFoundation (customized for skin type and shade)  \nColor products (use all oil free and non-comedogenic)\n\nHope this was helpful!!\n\nMeganHill@MaryKay.com if you need anything else\nwww.MaryKay.com/MeganHill to check out the line\n\nMegan

As a side note, I wonder why 99% of all the lcd monitors/TVs I've seen (no matter how ENORMOUS) have 1280*1024 resolution or less.

Consider a 20-inch Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW.  It has 1680x1050 resolution, and costs under $500 (not including shipping) (price as of today, 9-Dec-2005).\n\n  http://www.dell.com/\n\nI own the 24-inch 2405FPW and am extremely pleased with it.  It's around twice as expensive, however.


I know the division leaders all make the playoffs, then there are two wild card spots in the AFC and two in the NFC.  The two teams with the best records then get a wild card, but what if there is a tie?

to determine the wild card, it's the 2 best teams from each conference who did not win their division (division winners automatically get a playoff spot).  if teams have the same record, you look at head to head matchup; if there is no head to head matchup, you look at conference record, then division record.

AS natur loves symmetry, why there is no while hole but a lot of black holes

Their existence has been postulated, but more often in science fiction than in actual science.  Some suggest that quasars (which are extremely bright) are actually white holes, and that white holes are possibly connected to black holes via wormholes.  But white holes seem to violate the second law of thermodynamics, and therefore probably do not exist.


...knowing that this is a tribal tradition, that used to represent that women (daughters) are "objects" that belong to the father, and hi's exchanging her child with the groom?? think about how we keep doing things without knowing what they really mean....

Didn't you ask this once already?  Didn't like the answers you got, huh?\n\nYour key word is "used to".  Things have changed, and it is much easier to effect change by modifying the existing instead of throwing everything out and starting over.


If so, why did you do it? Did you get a good grade? Were you caught?\n\nJust curious!

No. I wouldn't. It just doesn't seem like the right thing to do.


Yes, Sears stores are closed on Christmas so that employees can enjoy the day with their families -- not to mention rest up for the long, long days of accepting all those post-Christmas returns over the following days.


They seem to have more reality shows than anything related to music anymore.

Unfortunately, MTV realized that there is no money in playing videos, that all their money comes from Ad Revenue. By playing television shows that reach a wider audience than music videos, it allows them to get more money from advertisers looking to reach the younger demographic.\n\nFor example, if they are playing hip-hop videos, advertisers can only target that market that likes hip-hop. While playing the Real World, they're reaching a much broader spectrum of people.

Can be caused by bacteria, a protozoan or salmonella.\n\n3.Crohn's disease: Inflammation of the intestines.\n\n4.Staphylococcal Enterotoxicosis: Disease of the lower digestive system caused by the bacteria S.aureus.\n\n5.Peptic Ulcer Disease: Caused by a bacteria (pylori) that neutralizes stomach acids and colonizes the stomach's mucosa.


Does anyone have some innovative applications of OPML?  I'm trying to grokk what it can do but the only thing I have seen it used for is for blog roll listings. \n\nSince the world is embracing folksonomy (tags) isn't OPML kind of a backlash to hierachies?  Is there a way to use tags and OPML so they compliment each other?

For one, OPML is useful for transferring your list of blogs you read from one reader to another. Or you can use it to share with others. \n\nI've seen meeting notes stored as OPML. I've also seen it used to store a list of RSS feeds that are later used for crawling for application.


when someone goes to prison here in the states

Freedom, I think that's the worse thing that can be taken away from a person.


Well, if the law is knows, as in the case of Adam and Eve, yes, but I mean if the person has no idea. Like if they join a cult and they think the cult is Christian, are the cult members guilty? Would they count as being Christian even if the cult is anything but?

This may also apply to people born before the birth of Christ, who didn't really have the opportunity to be Christian.  The answer, accoring to some pastors, is that ultimately God sorts it out in the end, makes a list and checks it twice, finds out whos' naughty or nice, etc.

considering the advocated regulations(as well as those in place in oregon, the only state where this is legal) including the fact that the patient must be terminally ill, suffering intolerable pain, request it multiple times, and be unlikely to benefit from a cure in their short remaining lifetime. They usually only have a few weeks or months to live, with no chance of the pain they are experiencing subsiding. Should it be the patient's choice?  Also, passive euthanasia (disconnecting life support - "pulling the plug") is legal everywhere and supported by 90% of the population as opposed to less than half for Physician-Assisted Suicide. I don't see how this is much different. I mean, basically if a particular patient is dying from lung cancer, and requires a respirator to breathe, he or she can be taken off of life support and be allowed to die; however, if the patient had bone cancer and is equally terminally ill, and in an equal amount of pain, they do not have the option of death.

It's just my opinion, but we live in a world where the need for medical care outstrips the available resources.  If someone of sound mind has decided that they no longer wish to live, it only makes sense to help them.  Not only does this ease suffering, it also frees up valuable health care resources for people who want to keep living.\n\n** Big disclaimer ** This of course does not take into account any religious convictions that people may have.


everything is going up (gas, milk etc) and our pay checks are't getting any bigger. I do not see the goverment doing anything.

There is a problem here that goes a little deeper than you might expect.\n\nIn my humble opinion, people in our society have gotten very used to having someone else (i.e. "the government") do things for them.\n\nThey have moved away from (or forgotten) the concept of collaborating with their neighbors, friends, co-workers, acquaintences, etc., to accomplish needed missions and goals.  For instance, the United States has a relatively low voter turnout compared to other countries.  As a matter of fact, sources rank the U.S. in the lowest 25% worldwide in terms of voter turnout among different countries.  It should be noted that some countries such as Belgium, Australia, Brazil, Singapore, Uruguay, to name a few, have compulsory voting.  If you don't vote, you are either fined or disenfranchised.  Compulsory voting is an admirable, if not misguided, attempt at keeping people from becoming complacent.  I believe it is better though to make our decisions freely.  Free will is what was given to us by our Creator, to make right and wrong decisions.  It is what makes us Human. \n\nNow, if we don't tell the government what it is that we want, how can we expect the government to "do anything".  To take it a step further, do we really want the government to "do anything"?  After the tragedy of 9/11, the government "did something" by removing various and sundry civil protections that were afforded to us by federal statute and the Constitution.  Now that's "doing something!"\n\nI, personally, work for the government (a state, but government none-the-less).  Now, I am here to tell you that you really don't want the government "doing anything" without very clear, concise, and incontrovertible, instructions.  It is very important that you go visit at least one government office a week (preferably with a group of your associates) and let them know in very clear terms, what it is that you want them to do. You also could possibly write a letter to the manager or director of the government offices, while sending a copy to your congressman, alderman, commisioner, or what have you, clearly indicating exactly what it is that you think should be done.  Otherwise, the people that work there will go on their merry way, doing what they think they should be doing, when that's not really what they should be doing at all.  But you can't blame them... you didn't tell them!  So how are they to know?  They are people just like you and me.  But sometimes they get isolated and lost, and they forget. At first, it may appear that they are unresponsive.  But that is only because they have gone so long without being reminded what it is that they are supposed to be doing.  It may even be necessary, at first, for you and your associates to stand out in the street in front of the government office, and make a spectacle of yourselves.  But like I said, it's only because the people that work there have forgotten, because we all have gone on our way and left them to their own devices without the guidance, experience, and knowledge, of the body politic. \n\nI noticed in your question that you mentioned your paycheck.  Have you discussed this with your co-workers?  Are they having issues with their paychecks?  Maybe you should consider organising yourselves as a group, and discussing this with your employer?  Perhaps as a group, in negotiations with your employer, you could come up with ways to increase production and efficiency.  This would increase your employer's profit margin and thereby  make it easier for him to give you a raise.  Of course if after you increased his profit margins, he found himself still unable to consider your plight, you would already have formed a group of people with a common bond and concern that would find it within their ability to deal with that too!\n\nSo to answer your question... No, I don't feel particularly betrayed by my government.  I f


I am a man that enjoys wearing women's clothes, my wife and I are doing a renewal of vows where I get to be the bride (I am so excited that I am giddy)!!! What gown styles and colors would be appropriate for me, and what do you think she should wear (gown or tux)?

Wear something sedately glamourous...think pale coloured ballroom or cocktail dress for a Duchess, you want dignity, here, not "Hubba-Hubba"\nWhat your spouse wears is her choice, though she should not actively clash with you in colour or style.\nIf she likes the tux idea, perhaps her accessories (tie, kerchief and cummerbund or suspenders) could be in the same colour as your gown.\nGood luck and many happy returns of the day!


I would like to know symtoms and types of treatments. Ineed to be educated about this disease.

Wilson's Disease is a genetic disorder that is fatal unless detected and treated before serious illness from copper poisoning develops. Wilson's Disease affects approximately one in 30,000 people worldwide. The genetic defect causes excessive copper accumulation in the liver or brain. \n\nSmall amounts of copper are as essential as vitamins. Copper is present in most foods, and most people have much more copper than they need. Healthy people excrete copper they don't need but Wilson's Disease patients cannot. \n\nCopper begins to accumulate immediately after birth. Excess copper attacks the liver or brain, resulting in hepatitis, psychiatric, or neurologic symptoms. The symptoms usually appear in late adolescence. Patients may have jaundice, abdominal swelling, vomiting of blood, and abdominal pain. They may have tremors and difficulty walking, talking and swallowing. They may develop all degrees of mental illness including homicidal or suicidal behavior, depression, and aggression. Women may have menstrual irregularities, absent periods, infertility, or multiple miscarriages. No matter how the disease begins, it is always fatal if it is not diagnosed and treated. \n\nThe first part of the body that copper affects is the liver. In about half of Wilson's Disease patients the liver is the only affected organ. The initial physical changes in the liver are only visible under the microscope. When hepatitis develops, patients are often thought to have infectious hepatitis or infectious mononucleosis when they actually have Wilson's Disease hepatitis. Testing for Wilson's Disease should be performed in individuals with unexplained, abnormal liver tests. \n\nWilson's Disease is a very treatable condition. With proper therapy, disease progress can be halted and oftentimes symptoms can be improved. Treatment is aimed at removing excess accumulated copper and preventing its reaccumulation. Therapy must be lifelong. Patients may become progressively more sick from day to day, so immediate treatment can be critical. Treatment delays may cause irreversible damage. \n\nThe newest FDA-approved drug is zinc acetate (Galzin™). Zinc acts by blocking the absorption of copper in the intestinal tract. This action both depletes accumulated copper and prevents its reaccumulation. Zinc's effectiveness has been shown by more than 30 years of considerable experience overseas. A major advantage of zinc therapy is its lack of side effects. \n\nOther drugs approved for use in Wilson's Disease include penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen) and trientine (Syprine). Both of these drugs act by chelation or binding of copper, causing its increased urinary excretion. \n\nTetrathiomolybdate is another chelating drug that is under investigation for initial treatment of Wilson's Disease. Thus far, it has not caused the neurological worsening often associated with penicillamine and even with trientine. \n\nPatients with severe hepatitis or liver failure may require liver transplant. Patients being investigated or treated for Wilson's Disease should be cared for by specialists in Wilson's Disease or by specialists in consultation with their primary physicians. \n\nStopping treatment completely will result in death, sometimes as quickly as within three months. Decreasing dosage of medications also can result in unnecessary disease progression.


Will the Philadelphia Phillies take the NL East in 06?

I am afraid they will struggle around .500 this season, falling between 3rd and 4th place unless some major roster moves are done before Feb. They are very weak at 3rd base and with their pitchers, especially starters.  No one is a true Ace, and they could very easily have two rookies in the rotation on opening day.  Meanwhile the Mets have spent like crazy and the Braves are the Braves.

For example how do cow, elephants,bats,dogs and cats.

Well mammals hold their young in their wombs for a time (fetus development.....you should know you're a mammal) Females breast feed their young, they mother them, and basically show them the basic instincts they would need to surivie alone. But, all this depends on which mammal you are asking on-some mothers don't do all this with their young

he has been previously married 3 times and she is very controlling..he will not stand up to her out of respect,but her hurtful remarks are hurting me..not sure what i can do..ready to walk away,but i really love him and it hurts

First of all, she can only control what he allows her to.  I understand that he does not want to disrespect her but she has too obviously butted in before.  Don't involve her in personal business and decisions. As a matter of fact, keep discussions with her on subjects about HER.  Try putting distance between him and her. It's really sad to say, but if he doesn't put an end to this, it won't end.


Maslow says yes, what do you Yahoos ( lol ) think?

Not in the sense that you are using we don't. Human contact/love even if from friends and family yes we need that, nothing like a hug from a friend, sibling or parent.


No, you shouldn't especially if you had strong feelings for her.  I recently broke up with a guy I've been dating for almost 3 months.  He wants to continue the friendship but I told him no, not this time.  I said maybe later when I'm completely over him, and it will all sort of happen by itself if we're meant to be friends.  Good luck.


Meditation and the secret mystical yoga practices. Yes, his magic is real.


Energy is neither created nor destroyed. Assuming this is true what is the energy that is fed to the part that pumps blood. it is a sought of motor? So what can be the input for the part?

The entire heart is a pump. The whole thing contracts and expands 72 times a minute on average.  What is it's source of energy? Same thing as every other organ's source of energy. . .the food you eat, with the help of oxygen, food broken down into its constituent parts is what fuels the body.

I drink soy milk daily and eat tofu a couple of times a month because I love it, but I'm hoping I'm accidently doing something healthy. I like the tofu friend, so I'm probably negating anything good anyway.

Actually, soy lowers testosterone levels. Most soy products contain the phytoestrogens (plant estrogens) known as isoflavones, which have been time and time again shown to reduce testosterone levels.\n\nThis can lead to decreased libido and lower sperm count.\n\nAccording to a well-respected health professional and author, Dr. Daniel, "Pediatricians are reporting more and more cases of emasculated boys reaching puberty with breasts and tiny penises. Undescended testicles are also far more common than they were in the past. Remember too that soy estrogens damage far more than the reproductive system. The thyroid is usually hurt first, leading to loss of energy, weight gain, depression, lethargy, and a host of other symptoms.\n\nOverall, more and more evidence is revealing that soy has many harmful or dangerous results for both men and women. Eat soy products only in moderation, if you have to eat them at all.\n\n----\nNew: Humorous\n\nThat's why Japanese men have such small penises. There's an old wives tale that Japanese women punish their straying husbands by feeding them a lot of tofu!


Assuming traveling out of space-time continuum is possible, would this traveler age?

It's not known whether it is possible or not.  And until our theories of the universe become actual laws, we can't say for sure.  For a "wormhole" to exist, there needs to be a tear in the fabric of space time.  Einstein's theories of general relativity say this is impossible, but Quantum Mechanics say these tears happen often.\n\nString theory gives some ideas on how these tears don't get out of control.  The prior Answer gives a good source, you can actually watch a video on it. (view sources)\n\nHowever, this sort of stuff is way out there right now for Physics.


Fish eat other fish. Bigger ones eat smaller ones. In the case of a whale, notice its strainer type mouth? They take in large quantities of Crill which are very small shrimp.

A sheik announced that a race would decide which of his two sons would inherit all his wealth. The sons were to ride their camels to a certain distant city. The son whose camel reached the city last would be given all the sheik's wealth. \n\nThe two sons set out on the journey. After severals days of aimless wandering, they met  and agreed to seek the advice of a wiseman. After listening to the wiseman's advice, the two sons rode the camels as quickly as possible to the designated city. \n\nWhat was it that the wiseman told the two sons? They did not agree to split the wealth, and their father's decree would be followed


if there are any ideas for any tx residents please respond.

I'm not in TX, but I had a friend that moved there last year, and he complained of the same problem. He ended up joining meet-up groups for singles in his area, and got a few dates from Myspace and Friendster. Seriously...they are out there!!\n\nGood luck!


For example, if I'm shopping for clothing or furniture and want to go home and decide which one to buy, can I take a picture of it in store without getting in trouble?

Most stores prohibit picture taking in a store, because of respect for the other coustomer. You might accidently take a picture of someone else, and the store could get in trouble for it. Its not the law, but its normally a rule in a store. You could always ask the manager.


If my "friend" does somthing a she should b saying sorry should i A.) lose all my dignity and pride by saying sorry first or B.) just b misrable and  lonly and wait

Only you can answer this question.  You know what you friend means to you.  No harm done if you say you are sorry even if she should say it first.\nIf she doesn't mean anything to you, it dosn't matter.  If she does, tell her.  Choose not to be misrable.


Is nvida a good graphics card \ncan a dell computer support it

Well, what model is your computer and how old is it.  That will depend on what kind of graphics card you can install in it.  If you just got the computer it most likely has only a PCIe slot.  If it is even one year old then it probably has an AGP slot.  Also, the lower end Dell computers used to not include even an AGP slot so it depends on what model it is.\n\nMy favorite card right around the sub $250 is the Radeon X800XL best performance per price ratio, it is even a favorite over at Cnet.  But I will warn you if you don't have at least a 300W power supply in your computer you may not be able to use it.  But that's okay, another favorite of mine is the Geforce 6600GT but it only comes in a 128MB version.\n\nBut you really need to check your computer, either in the manual or if you have the original specs and see if it has either an AGP 8X/4X slot or PCIe x16 slot and that will determine which version of the card you should get because most video cards now come in both versions.\n\nFor benchmarks on the X800XL see Tomshardware, http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/28/don/page7.html\n\nand for the 6600GT see, http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/04/04/good_3d_performance_at_a_middling_price/page29.html\n\nfor Cnet's review of the X800XL see, http://reviews.cnet.com/ATI_Radeon_X800_XL_PCIE_256MB/4505-8902_7-31320650.html?tag=tpr

A new poll says 41% of Americans still believe this despite all evidence to the contrary.

Not at all. First, Saddam had a strongly secular government. He cracked down on militant Muslims within his own country, why would he support bin-Laden? Second, all the evidence points to is that members of al-Qaeda met with members of the Iraqi government. Even the source below, highly biased towards the right, doesn't argue that anything any more concrete happened. I wouldn't call that "strong links." That'd be like saying we have "strong links" with China because our administration has met with them many times over the past decade.

It seems that West Point, Annapolis, and the Air Force Academy are all populated by clean cut, white, male, heterosexual, conservative, Christian, Republicans.  What is the diversity policy here?

I have been accepted by the USMA. I am a female moderate, who happens to be born from parents from different parts of the world. (Guyana & Kuwait). I found, that it is a matter of being qualified. I know of 6 other cadets who are Hispanic, West Indian, Chinese, and Korean, who've entered The Point. I also know that there are many people who come to WP from their just to train and lead their Armies with adequate competence.

i have midterms on monday. i really need help. these are the main questions i need answered:\n\nHow long slavery existed world-wide,\nHow Africans contributed to slavery,Use of slaves in colonies,\nPOW’s as slaves,Middle Passage,and\nJohn Newton/Amazing Grace. if you could tell me anything about those subjects that would really help.

1. Africans in African contributed to slavery via selling members of other tribes with whom they had\nwarred, or, via ambushing other Africans and selling them to the slave traders. \n2. The term middle passage was regarding the trip from Africa to either America, Cuba, or other islands, and the point that was considered the middle.  During the middle passage, many Africans died due to illness, malnutrition, and were simply thrown overboard.  According to statistics, the deaths that took place in the middle passage during the slave trade, outnumbered the deaths during the holocaust in Germany.

Need to know symbolic representations of odd and even numbers. Its closely related to Number theory.

as tungsten. How do any differences affect the malleability of these solids?

Well the lattices in the ionic compounds are formed by two spiecies. The cations and the anions. These being oppositely charged attract each other with a great magnitude of force. \n\nNa+  Cl-  Na+\nCl-  Na+  Cl-\nNa+  Cl-  Na+\n\n    but in metals the Metals are all arranged in a lattice. In this lattice the metal kernels(inner electrons not includeing valence electrons and the nucleus) that are positively charged are all arranged in space. The electrons move freely in the lattice spaces. These hold up the metal kernels together. They move around in a manner such that the totla charge distribution on each kernel remains the same. Thus you see there is a difference in the lattices of metals and ionic solids. Hence we  get the maleability of the Metals


Most scholars agree that ancient Indians helped create Algebra , Geometry, Zero, Pi and many basic structures of Mathematics. Arabs came to India and "borrowed" the ideas and claimed they created it.\nSo why do Arabs get the credit for inventing/enriching Mathematics

While it might be true that ancient Indians helped create many basic structures of Mathematics, the Arabs did not claim they created it. It is probably the belief of some scholars that the Arabs were solely responsible, and that just got to become the widespread opinion.

The longer you have them out, the longer the device will last(even though still not a long amount of time.) I noticed this with my gameboy when I was a kid, and now I'm noticing it with my graphing calculator. Why does this happen? Isn't the battery just out of charge? isn't a battery like a redox reaction or something that when it runs out it just means that both sides have equal ion concentrations or something like that? so how does it come back for a little?

batteries have an electrolyte solution inside them;  when they get old this solution gets depleted of charge carriers, but i suspect you can recharge them by shaking them all around, thus mixing up the electrolyte and getting a bit more juice out.\n\nalso possible is that when you hold them in your hand when you take them out, the batteries warm up.  this warming means the ions in solution move faster, and therefore have longer diffusion lengths, so you can eke a few more minutes of game time out of them that way.  this effect (in reverse) is also responsible for your car not starting on very cold mornings.
