I know the rumors about the "Dead Paul" conspiracy, but has he ever addressed this?

no one in the band admitted to doing those things on purpose. the whole rumor got started by 2 djs on a radio station who were joking around. i think they did things like the abbey road cover and the end of 'strawberryfields forever' to amuse themselves


Is there a soundtrack for this game, with the music by Chris Vrenna? If so, I'd like to find it. I don't need a filesharing service, I need a published product. If Wikipedia has details, I didn't see them.

I hope this can help you.\n\nEnjoy it ;P\n\n\nEditorial Reviews...\n\nAmerican McGee's Alice, video game music \nComposed by Chris Vrenna\n\nAmazon.com\nChris Vrenna's soundtrack to the American McGee's Alice video game is fittingly twisted. Sounds created with toy instruments and percussion, music boxes, clocks, doors, and sampled female voices (including Jack Off Jill- singer Jessicka) are manipulated into nightmarish soundscapes. A harpsichord and a clock ticking over a bed of rhythmic effects invoke a sense of Victorian horror, while also playing off of modern motifs. Fans of the game and connoisseurs of dark and spooky music will be delighted by Vrenna's surreal score. --Bryan Reesman \n\nUSA Today\n"The background music is gorgeous and creepy... all composed and masterfully produced by Chris Vrenna." \n\nEntertainment Weekly\n"Chris Vrenna of Nine Inch Nails fame provides a throbbing soundtrack." \n\nGameSpot\n"The visuals are excellent, but whatever disturbing ambience Alice manages to create is due largely to the soundtrack by former Nine Inch Nails member Chris Vrenna. It effectively punctuates...the atmosphere of dread..." \n\nProduct Description\nWith the soundtrack to American McGee's Alice, Electronic Arts' new video game, Chris Vrenna (formerly of Nine Inch Nails) provides musical menace to accompany the heroine's adventures in a Wonderland gone to hell. The sounds of dilapidated toys and ghostly machinery converge with the haunting ambient electro-soundscape produced and composed by Vrenna.


throughout time, many saints and seers have had revelations of the future and what is to come as the final judgement approaches.  Some of these prophecies include:\n-A major clash between Islam and Christianity \n-A rise in sea levels that will inundate coastal cities \n-Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and floods throughout the world \n-The exile and martyrdom of a pope \n-The destruction of the Vatican and the Church \n-A great sign or warning that will show the world that God exists \n-Three days of darkness where all God’s enemies are destroyed \n-The rise of a Holy Emperor and Holy Pope who will restore the Church \n-A new enlightened age where people live in peace \n-Catholicism becoming the only religion in the world \n-The birth and reign of the Antichrist \n-The return of Jesus Christ, culminating in the Final Judgement\n\nwhat do u think of that?

I think man is fallible and only in retrospect can we tell if prophecy is true. How many prophecies have proven untrue?\n\nIt is a great day to be alive!!\n\nGood luck and God Bless!!


Friend told me to write a letter to the Universe and burn it. And in one year all I wrote would come to fruition. Also to make the copy of it and burn the original.

I have heard of this before, but it has been so long, I had forgotten about this.  Thank you for mentioning it.  I will have to do this real soon.


He is huge for a young player and a lack of pace is stopping him from scoring more goals.  I say his broken foot is a god-send for England.

He is very overrated. He and Beckham are the most overrated footballers in England today. I hope that the English team goes far this summer so that the world can see that other players exist outside of Rooney and Becks.


i was speaking in the pub last night to my friends. \nwe all came to the conclusion that the dole should just be there of if you are made redundent or have extream difficulties that you cannot work. I have a friend that as been on the dole for 12 years and stops getting jobs by going in to the interview and failing the jobs on purpose so he does not have to work. cus it is easy just to sit on the dole and get money to go to thepub. I think so sort of comunity service should be put in place now like cleaning the streets or grafitie of walls make this bludgers work for a living. what do you think? should our hard earned money have to pay for these people, it seems that we are working to feed these lazy people.

I agree. They should have to do some kind of work to get the dole. It just makes sense.


I would like to start a business and wld like to know if thr r grants available. I'm a single mom w/very little income, I'm tired of being behind and not being able to pay the bills.  Our community is in need of daycare.

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nHere is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business -- THERE'S NONE.\nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show\n\n11.800 DOC Minority Business Enterprise Centers \n14.132 HUD Mortgage Insurance_Purchase of Sales-Type Cooperative Housing Units \n14.155 HUD Mortgage Insurance for the Purchase or Refinancing of Existing Multifamily Housing Projects \n14.197 HUD Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act \n20.907 DOT Minority Institutions \n59.007 SBA 7(j) Technical Assistance \n59.012 SBA Small Business Loans \n59.026 SBA Service Corps of Retired Executives Association \n59.041 SBA Certified Development Company Loans (504 Loans) \n59.043 SBA Women's Business Ownership Assistance \n59.046 SBA Microloan Program \n59.050 SBA Microenterprise Development Grants \n81.036 DOE Inventions and Innovations \n81.105 DOE National Industrial Competitiveness through Energy, Environment, and Economics \n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.\n\nIf you wish to start a daycare business, the first step is to prepare a business plan. Even if you will not be applying for a bank loan, a business plan helps you to think through your business - what it needs, who it will benefit, how much it will cost, and what is its potential. Here are free business plans on childcare business that you may want to look into:\n\nhttp://www.sba.gov/libr


I belive you are tallking about a source for water.  It could be several thing, a glacier melting,  snow pack from the winter or natural springs.  Where the water in a mountain finds a hard rock and then will find the path of least resistance,  sometimes out the side of the mountain which would be a mountain spring.  But the mountain source is just the fact that the river is starting in mountain,  from a spring, winter melt off or glacier.  hope that helps.


Tré Cool - Green Day\nTravis Barker - Blink-182\nThe Reverend - Avenged Sevenfold

tré cool is very good in playing and he has some awesome rythm along with the songs.\n\nTravis barker, on the other hand, has some VERY nice and breathtaking drum solos. his solos in concerts are being distributed in p2p sites more than ever!\n\nThe reverend is a story on its own. i've been recently listening to this band and this drummer is killing me! he has a great touch and he's so specific with his beats! every song has a unique style, i include Bat Country, Unholy Confessions, Betrayed, and Burn It Down.\nhis performance is irreplaceable and can't be mimicked by any drummer ever...\n\nbottom line: every drummer has a style and a weak and best point, but for the drum solos, i think it would be travis.


what year did the holocaust start and end?and the ghettos...what happened to the jews after they survived and set free from the ghettos?

The concentration camps began a bit after Hitler took power (1933) and it ended when the World War II ended (1945)\n\nSome Jewish people either went to Israel, immigrated to different countries such as the United States, or returned to where they were before the war. But tragically, some people were still very angry at them after the war, and some Jews in Poland were attacked and/or killed by mobs. Those that weren't welcomed in their former home countries were those that immigrated.


Windows cannot format this drive.Quit any disk utilities or other programs that are using this drive,and make sure that no window is displaying the contents of the drive.Then try again! Anyone know what i am doing wrong? I am not running any programs (i think).Thanks again.

Are you using Microsoft Windows setup CD to format?  Make sure you are using a utility CD or disk.\n\nLike others said, you cannot format your hard drive, if you are actively running Windows.  You need to format it from a separate outside source like a boot or utility disk or CD.  If you do format your hard drive I would also suggest using format c: /s which copies system files to the hard drive if you want to use that hard drive to boot from. You can create a boot disk by formatting a floppy disk if you have one with system files and have it boot the computer up.  Then you can format the hard drive..assuming you have the format command file on your disk.  Or just use Windows Setup CD..which is much easier.


we don't say that the government are wrong but,if this happen for some more years then general people will become backward.so according to me government should help only one member in a family, otherwise st,sc catagory taking their carrier as for granted due to which general catagory people will suffer as they are not getting opportunity.Tell me one good reason that why government will not do something for general one, they also need their help. at last i just want to say that govt. should stop favouring st ,sc at this much exetnd

It would help if you told us which Government.


I recently removed a tick that couldnt have been on me more than a couple of hours.  The entire tick was removed but I've had what seems to be like a moquito bite now and it itches. Is this normal?

Yes, thats normal. If you starts getting a red ring around it, like a bull's eye, see a doctor.

NOTE:  I do have DVD shrink... would that help or is that just to shrink a 2 disk movie to a 1 disk DVD?

For your answer: YES.\nYou should get a DVD ripper.\n\nA DVD ripper rips your DVD into VCD format.. The quality ofcourse is not as good as the DVD.\n\nThe program suggested by mLahji is also good. I use Pinnacle Studios DVD ripper. You might want to compare prices on the internet and buy a good software from your local store.\n\nAlso :) your 2-4x will take too much time to write. Better buy a 48-52x which will take lesser time ;).


As a mere human, we have no way of knowing what, if any, religion is true. How can people so passionately defend something that they know could be false. Before you answer this, please have an open mind, and play nice.

I believe it makes life easier for people when they have something to hold on to.  Whether it's religion, hobbies, family, friends it's all the same.  It's help us get by day to day.  The thing about religion is you don't have to worry about it talking about you behind your back, or stealing your man even though you have no proof it exists.  Most people never take the time to explore different religions so they can make a reasonable decision on their on.  Almost always they believe what they are taught by there parents.  God for bid if a parent would ever lie or misguide them.

go all out people! describe how things back in the old day was wrong but not now , and tell if you think its okay

I think people don't have respect for their neighbor like they did back in the day.  It's all about caring about people other than yourself.  Consider the following question: If you build a privacy fence around your back yard, should you put the "pretty" side (the side without the posts) on the outside or the inside?  People I've asked these days say, "I want to see the pretty side when I'm in the back yard."  I say I want my neighbors to see the pretty side.  It may be a stupid example, but it's a sign of how people think these days.  I guess I'm just old-school.


THE BOOK WAS WRITTEN IN THE 70'S I THINK IT THE TITLE WAS SECRETARIAT "BIG RED". I KNOW THE AUTHER WAS A SPORTS WRITER FOR SPORTS ILLISTRATED.

Check in amazon.com -- enter the name William Nack and it brings up books written by Nack.  They are: (1) Secretariat: The Making of a Champion (2 editions, one published 1989; the other in 2002) -- (2) My Turf: Horses, Boxers, Blood Money, and the Sporting Life (published 2003) -- (3) Big Red of Meadow Stable: Secretariat, the making of a champion (published 1975).  Sounds like the Big Red... book is the one you are looking for, but costs more.  Maybe, as mentioned in an earlier answer, your Library might have it, or maybe another book dealer would have it for less.  Maybe even eBay.  Hope this helps.


I just can't see how you can fit Creationism into a class.  I can teach it in less than 20 minutes (probably closer to 3).  \n\nHow do you explain to children how God created light.  \n\nTeacher:\nGod said "Let there be light" and there was light.  Then God said "Let's make a sun" and there was a sun.  \n\nStudent:\nWhere did the light come from?  \n\nTeacher:\n.....Well, have faith.  Now, let's move on....\n\n...and God created man from dust, by stitching little carbon molecules together with hydrogen....\n\nSomeone please explain it to me, I just don't understand how that could take a whole semester.

I always thought that it would be cool to have a comparative creation myth class. That would take a whole semester. I would be most pleased to have my children learn the Christian creation myth along with the Greek one (which is the one I subscribe too, though I'm an evolutionist), the Aborigine Dreamtime myths and a few Native American myths. They're all great stories. It would, of course, fall into the Humanities category. I would love to see the essays that came out of that class. \n\nBut I don't think anybody wanted a whole class on creationism. I think they wanted to have it inserted in the science curriculum somewhere, which is just silly.


every now and then my internet explorer wants to close, with no explanation once i close the connection i have to reconect, i also get error messages saying page could not be found, or dns error, or server not found, the page could not be displayed.\nPlease help

check that you have a good connection to the net, check cables, plugs... if nothing happens You may have a virus, try cleaning up all the cookies and temporary files in your computer, download AdAware (the latest) from www.download.com, its free, run it, that should help a lot, if it doesnt, try uninstalling and reinstalling explorer.. good luck


How do I see where my teens have been on the Net? I look at the cookies but they are coded and in text format. I also trying browsing the address and search bars but they are always clean. Just call me paranoid but I want to make sure with 3 teen boys. I do not use parental locks, we work on trust, besides with the locks they can't even visit game sites or music. I would like to peek and see to be sure.\nThanks in Advance for you answers!\nChristine

Yeh right, trust your intuition! I had three children in their teens, one of them a bit of a geek. Unlucky for him I have a 'Grad Dip in IT' and although as a teen he wouldn't admit it, I do know more than he does :-). I sprung them a number of times. The reason the search histories are clean is because they are hiding were they have been! This has already broken the trust rule!\n\nI think its right that you should be concerned.\n\nI circumvented there attempts to hide things from me by simply conducting file searches on the computer. I had a rule that they had to get off the computer by midnight. This is easy to find because you just do a file search by date and then sort the results by time. System files which get modified by time cannot be deleted without crashing the whole computer.\n\nNext there issue of which sites they are going to. Search histories and cookies are easy to delete. The files that get dropped on your computer by some of the suspect websites are not so easy to find or delete. Do a file search on key words such as XXX, sex, teen, naked and any of the other notorias words you can think of. You'd be amazed what comes up.\n\nLastly I recommend that, if you haven't done so already and assuming you have XP, create seperate accounts for each of your children. This allows you to do file searches on them individually and zero in on the suspect!\n\nFor XP, to do a search on your hard drive as described go START, MY COMPUTER and right click on the Harddrive (HD), select SEARCH and go for it. If you have individual accounts doublt left click on the HD and select DOCUMENTS and SETTINGS, select the individual account your interested, right click on the folder and select search.\n\nTo Refresh, let me guess, your a teen? :-)

i use Pantene shampoo. itz 2 in 1, both shampoo & conditioner. does anyone reccomend any other shampoo? and iz there a difference b tween 2 in 1 or shampoo and conditioner in seperate bottles? thanx!

I have few friends that are hair stylist and they say the two in one are not that good and i agree because it seems to leave your hair dull and dirty looking. I use Aussie shampoo and conditioner and it works great for me but everyone has different hair. Check it out it might work for you to.


how can we live in todays world no money nothing you get no influence you are down to earth no enjoyment in life pray thats only rights is still there that too no answer so whats life in todays world of living life is to be like

I am afraid that I cannot agree with you. Life was always like that anytime. It is our perception which changes about life. There are always challenges in life, they differ from time to time, place to place, age to age and all. If someone want to enjoy life, s/he can do it anytime and all time. You can enjoy life while struggling for job, you can do that in sickness and you can do it when sleeping. So go ahead my friend, be positive about life and enjoy yourself and make life of you and everyone around pleasurable.


Please tell me how to feel stress free & not get so tensed. My results may come out on the 15th of may

Well look at the positive: \n\n1. You have summer vacation soon and it's starting to get really nice outside- something to look forward to.\n\n2. Also, this is just the beginning. I had to deal with this as well as college entrance exams, college applications, graduate school exams and applications..you have lots to look forward to. So don't worry, this is just the beginning. Don't sweat it too much. There's more on the way.\n\nAnd if you are still stressed, just think of Tom Cruise in "Risky Business" and the part where he says, "Sometimes you just gotta say what the _ _ _ _."\n\nIf you haven't seen the movie, rent it. \n=)


I don't like him. I think he is not as good as the old Pope.\nI think he is too eurocentric whilst the old pope visited everywhere.  I also worry that he is a little racist and closed minded. He seems very anti- Islam, and he is very closed minded on Turkey.\nAlso he was in the Hitler youth. I know he was just a teenager but other members of the church stood against hitler. And he hasn't seemed to apoligise and I think he should because Nazis were one of the worst people in History. And he is the pope which is an important position.\n\n\nAll in ALL I think the OLd Pope was a much warmer person. And unfortunately I can't see anything positive about pope Benedict.\n\n\nI am not a Catholic so I don't really know too much about. I would just like to know your opinions.\n\nAm I misinformed in my views or am I right?

Not a big fan of him myself. He definitely doesn't have the charisma of the last Pope. Regardless, of his answers, his being a part of the Hitler youth hasn't been adequately addressed. He seems like the kind of person who's tough on everyone else, but easy on himself.Even though Turkey didn't stand with us during this Iraqi war{allowing us to enter Iraq from the north would have really helped everone concerned}, I still feel Turkey should've been a part of the EU from the beginning, and that is still US policy,but I'm not sure this Pope would agree on our views about Turkey. We'll see what happens, I just don't feel he has the personal holiness John Paul 2 had.


I want to use Microwave for warming up the food is it safe to our health or not?

-we argue alot about little things \n-he always tries to prove me wrong\n-he complains about alot of things

Sounds like a communication problem.  If you want this relationship to survive and grow you two need to sit down and come up with a plan to deal with these issue and any others you have.  Some times people who argue and complain a lot just need to have a set way to communicate those things in a helpful manner instead of the current method which is destructive.


Are their inservices about how to teach?  \n\nTeachers in elementary-high school need to learn philosophy, psychology, and methods to teach.  Do those in higher education have courses on how to instruct?  Do they at least have in-services or dare I say training seminars?

It depends on if you want to be a professor of Education or in another discipline.  Typically professors of other disciplines do not take teaching methodology courses and concentrate on their own field of study.  Its a shame really, because there are lots of intelligent people out there who know lots of interesting things but are very poor at communicating it.\n\nThere may be courses available but what percentage of people actually take them?  Also what percentage of existing professors have teching training?  That would be an interesting number.  \n\nIn my experience most grad students do TA work where they lead tutorials and small classes but this is often done off the cuff or just following a basic procedure instead of having specific professional teacher training.


I am a Yankee fan and they should just let him go and start looking around for another more younger pitcher


I'm a Christian, my boyfriend is a Catholic n he persuades me 2 be a Catholic. I don't see a big difference but he is.

Lanani has eloquently provided the right answer and has earned the points.  That said, I would just like to elaborate a bit further:  Despite "Christian" protestations to the contrary, Catholics, like Baptists, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, etc are ALL Christians.  Despite whatever problems we all may have with the Catholic Church, keep in mind for more than a thousand years they were the Catholics were the ONLY Christians around. If you were Christian, you WERE Catholic.  Nuff said.  \n\nAdditionally, the Catholic Church you love to hate on are the ones who put together the Bible you love to quote from.  THEY picked which gospels went in (there were more than 4 to choose from, you know) and which ones to keep out.  They compile the letters of Paul, and they added in the Revelation of John.  The Catholic Church has picked exactly which words you take literally and choose to live from, every day.  So smarten up.\n\nSecondly, to the two people who said she shouldn't change but he should, um, why is that?  What's with the arbitrary decision making there? Not that either way is right or either way is wrong, that's not for me to say, but how can one be right and one be wrong?\n\nFinally, to all those who ripped on her grammar and spelling, lol.  Some of you did it cleverly and some crudely, but I think you all got your point across.  That's just how it is these days, so chill.\n\nHope this helps--\nJ.

I am a single female. Son commited suicide, after partner commited adultry. Left small infant. Do I have any rights?

there sadly are no laws.\nyou can however raise that child (adopt he or she) and give the child a life their mother wont be able to give. and i'm sure you don't want your grandchild seeing all their mother does and turn into their mother.\n\nsadly that's the only "fix" in this, just have your son's partner talk with you about it see if she likes the idea, or if she doesn't and you have proof she's a danger to the child as well, call children's services and mention if possible since the child is your departed son's that you'd like to raise the child.\n\nalthough, she'll get what's coming to her when Christ returns to the earth, so justice will be made, I'm sorry for your loss, do not hate her, it's a sin, forgive and forget her, hold onto your son's memory and know one day all who do wrong against you will get there's in the end

She said she felt sorry for me then she starting saying she didn't want a friend that liked her. i mean, now she's my friend but she's shy around me. i don't know what? i mean i just don't know? Help!

umm...this girl is not your friend. a friend is someone you can feel comfortable being around..someone you can trust. and obviously, this girl can't handle the fact that you like her. i think it was immature of her to say yes when you asked her out just because she "felt sorry for you," but to each their own. i don't think you need this girl as a friend or anything else.


I have a extremely large penis and was after some information on whether anyone has had a reduction.\nIs it safe a simple?

Yes there is, but it is a very hard and painful operation. My suggestion is, don`t try because you will regret it. \nBut my question for you is why do yo want to reduce it, are you so unhappy whit it. First try a psychiatric help, just to see the other side of the problem. I`m sure that you are a healthy young man but the conversation whit a professional will help you to fill better. Good luck.


Some companies run a credit check on prospective employees. If someone has a debt consolidation on their credit history will this be a reason to not get the job? I meet and exceed the job requirements?

i do not think a persons credit should matter about you as a employee.. but i guess it will depend on the kind of work you are seeking...it may though cause i got a credit report in the mail the other day and all i am trying to do is get low income housing... i really do not have credit at all...so i do not know what to think of it anyway...hopefully though you will get the job,,, in my opinion you should.. if you exceed there requirements, that should make a good impression right there..

I know some fail 50 to 70 percent of their students, what about you?\n\nAt what level do you teach? (middle, high, or college)\n\nwhere do you teach? affluent, innercity?\n\nvery curious.

I don't teach it in my high school, but over 80% fail.


slightly modified question from "the book of if"

I'll give Califonia or Texas back to the Mexican so Americans can stop bad-mouthing them.


does this apply also for child molesting priests all around the world ? or can they do what they do in a safe way ?

thats just sick... Catholic religion sucks...


Some guy keeps emailing me but I dont have a clue what he is trying to say! I cant tell if he is being rude or not! help!

Tell him to speak english. ebonics is a lazy language, makes the user look unintelligent and there is no use for it.


This is not a dating request although the potential is there. I just jdon't get it is, it the town Ilive in? Is it my age a young 54? Is it just the blasted numbers. I have tried all the usual places to meet men. I suspect just giving up is best and then I may meet him. I realize I have no photo to prove I am attractive you'll just have to believe me. I have been in couseling for 10 years, 5 years ago, I manage my past issues. Is e-harmony really the way to go? I miss the ahhhh you know...physical contact and intimacy. I have the last (child) 20 years old at home. One of 3. I've been a single mom for 19 years.I am not anger at men. My Pelvis screams, my couseling skills manage the vibrator. The men I meet are either full of shit less than smart or fucking nuts. I am a healthcare professional. What have you done?? I don't attend church I knew that may be an answer. What do you think? thanks for your response.

Just dont be so picky. alot of good guys out there. i promise. just keep an open mind and heart. smile more and approach. youll see .


I built a computer for a friend of mine and he says it's the best computer ever.  Is it?\nAMD Athlon 4800+ x2\n4gb RAM\n1TB (1000GB HD)\nSoundblaster x-fi Platinum sound card.\n700 watt 7.1 surround sound speakers.\nTwo 512MB ATI Video Cards with four DVI outputs and Crossfire compatible.\nFour Ultra High Res 19" Monitors\nTwo DVD (one with lightscribe, the other double layer.)\nTwo 3.5" floppies.\nWindows XP64\nPlus a two GB Flash Memory (thumb drive)\n\nWhat do you think?  Best ever?

well!! nice config! but the AMD Athlon FX60 outperforms the X2 4800+, and it is not exactly the best as new Turion 64 X2 supports DDR2 and in future AMD is coming up with a new series of processors codenamed the "M2". these are rumoured to have support for DDR3-800 MHz! and these will be on the socket 940 though the current mobo's with s940 will not support it! it looks like ur frend's gona have a tough time!!


I have a freind that is gay and proud, I love him and he's my best friend.  When we hang out, well be doing something or watching t.v. and me or someone else will see something on t.v. and say "thats so gay", just to mean that's stupit.and he gets mad.  Is it wrong to say this in frount of him,or is he overreacting on it?

it is rude to label anything in a derogatory manner.  I am gay, and i do occasionally say it when something is just over the top "gay"... and I especially use it when I see my straight friends (who have made fun of me in the past) do something effiminate.  However that still doesn't make it right.  I can't even discuss here the things that could be labeled in politically offensive manners, but think about religious affiliations and race issues....


All people are born with equal rights in my opinion. So everyone should have (in his/her own country) an equal chance of becoming head of state, head of government, senator, representative, member of parliament, mayor, governor etc...\n\nI believe no position should be decided based on some hereditary title. Hereditary titles mean nothing after all. Denying people the right to become head of state of their country based on the fact that they happened to not inherit a title, isn't that the very essence of discrimination?\n\nTherefore, in order to abolish this form of discrimination (monarchy), should the concept of monarchy and hereditary titles be abolished?

Hell, yes! Royalty and hereditary titles. I get fed up with these titled muppets moaning because life isn't like it was in the 15th century. They receive too many tax exemptions. have too many privileges and serve little purpose. \nHaving said that, what would we do with their stately homes and a number of un-employed lords and ladies post-revolution? The houses could be re-used for the benefit of the community. The aristocracy could be encouraged to seek work like the rest of us.\nI can't see that we would lose much if we didn't have royalty or aristocracy.


my computer decided on day that it wouldnt go past the windows start screen...i tried re booting it in safe mode but i got the same thing and i ran the diagnostics test thingy and it said put the drivers and utility cd in and i did that but it still wouldnt go past the start screen.

Reformat the hard drive and reinstall Windows.


why do we need to dream?and why cant we remember our dreams?when we dream can we tell the future?i think i did once!scay,very scary.oh,god im confusing myself again!

We can't tell the future, but the nature of dreaming suggests that we may be able to predict it. Dreams are essentially the consious brain reviewing memories, and you get taken along for the ride. Sometimes, the brain decides to recombine things, which make wierd dreams. We can't remember our dreams because we cannot sense them, so we have nothing to remember.


I went through a divorce and let my loans go in to default.

If it is a Sallie Mae Loan you can't receive a bankruptcy break. If it is not you'll probably have to pay back about 20 - 25%.


Ok, I'm already crazy but this is not helping things.

Put a heating pad or a hot water bottle on your neck. Also, take some ibuprofen.

i'm taken a college course in marriage and family  and i'm haven a hard time with this question and better yet understanding it.

Basically, in the "olden days," the roles of mother and father/husband and wife we clearly defined. The male was the bread-winner, went to work every day, and made money, while the mother stayed at home and tended to the family and the household. But now, the opportunity for women to have professional careers has changed the structure of families with two working parents. Also, in modernity, it's almost financially impossible for an average, middle-class family to live on one salary: this, combined with the women of today's general desire to be in the work force, has changed the structure of the modern family. Now, all kinds of questions are raised: who will stay home and watch the kids, if both mom AND dad are at work? Should one parent sacrifice their career to stay at home and tend to the kids? If so, is it FAIR that one parent has to sacrifice, while the other can accomplish their dreams? The ultimate struggle of career/family has reached its ultimate peak with the changes that modernity has brought to the households of today.


i am already driving up to the wedding (a 12 hour drive) but if I go to the bachelorette party I will be missing 2 more days of finals

Check with your school first, but if you can at all without hurting your grades, go to the bachelorette! It's your best friend after all. Otherwise I would say school.


Please explain, and if you would, provide an example.

a common type of error in reasoning. i.e., 'because there was an earthquake 100 years ago and earthquakes happen every hundred years or so, there will definitely be another earthquake this year.'


People and organiseations have spent vast somes of money,made countless documentaries and had a huge amount of press coverage given to them.All to denounce Dan Browns book as being a complete work of fiction.If they took the time to read the back cover of the book in tells them that the book is indeed a work of fiction.Why have so many gone out of there way to denounce this book.

hmmmm. \n\nMaybe because a lot of ppl think there maybe more to it than just fiction.\n\nTherefore it does not matter what the cover says.\n\nThe book altered the perceptions of a lot of ppl.\n\nSo did the movie Matrix. \n\nAs did countless other books, movies, etc..\n\nProblem here was that it was the catholic church and christian beliefs that was influenced in a negative way. Since there are a lot of devoted Christians out there and the fact that the Catholic Church exerts a lot of influence was why there was such a big offensive reaction to the book.


I like one senior student in our campus..I don't feel like loving her jus b'coz of the bondages..But she is very beautiful..and I wud like to make her an idol..and not my love..\nAgree with me??

Stick to one woman at the time. Give that woman all you have.


Doesn't the bible say "to judge not lest you be judged" so why do it then? I see religious ppl tell ppl "your going to burn in HELL11!1!" but what do they know? only God can say for sure where someone is going. So stop.

I believe we, as humans, judge without knowing all the facts.  It may appear one way to us, but if we knew all the facts, we may see it another way.  I've had people judge me in a certain situation, but they didn't know what I had been through and they only saw the choice I made, not that I didn't have a choice.


I've tried recording on every drug. The only thing I find that helps is coffee and nicotine, and maybe 1 or 2 drinks. But not drunk.

believe it or not in my opinion it does...to a point. See you can drink and get buzzed and still make coherent music...but get blasted and your coordination goes to shit. that also depends on how abusive you are with your poisons. Courtney Love gets F!ed up and still makes music, not good music but i digress.


Am in scottrade and stocks went up considerably (penny stocks) I don't know exactly what to do at this point.  I know I want to keep them but would also like to take out the amount I put in just to say I didn't lose anything should something happen.

Just sell enough shares to cover the amount of money you originally invested.  For instance, if you put $1000.00 in a stock that was $0.50/share when you bought it, you should have around 2000 shares.  If the stock is now $1.00/share and you want to take out your initial investment, just sell 1000 shares.  Your sale should net around $1000.00 or 1000 shares which leaves only the profit invested.  You can then use the original $1000.00 to invest in another stock.


This is a fasinating subject for , I may go in search of - over the summer !

Bigfoot, (also known as Sasquatch), is the name of a phenomenon which has polarised people around the world, being either the product of vivid imagination or a creature that has somehow avoided close observation or capture by man.\n\nBigfoot is described as a large, bipedal hairy humanoid creature living in remote wilderness areas of the United States and Canada, specifically those in southwestern Canada, the Great Lakes, the Pacific Northwest, the Rocky Mountains, the forests of the U.S. Northeast, and the U.S. Southern states. Some claim it is a creature which may be found around the world under different regional names, such as the Yeti, or is at least a closely related species. Sightings have allegedly occurred in Malaysia, China, Russia, Australia, South America and Hawaii. [1] [2] [3]\n\nThe majority of scientists reject the possibility of the creature's existence, and consider the stories of Bigfoot to be a combination of unsubstantiated folklore and hoax. This is due to current scientific knowledge plus the lack of bones or a body.\n\n\nI believe it, the earth is still undiscovered. So there are things that go bump in the night.


can a person get pregnant through accidentally sitting on urine (from a male)? or masturbation for that matter? i can't research much on this topic... my friend needs help for her paper...

As far as sitting on urine no as urine does not contain sperm.  As far as masturbation if a man ejaculates close or on the vaginal opening it is very possible to get pregnant this way.  Any contact of semen on or near the vaginal opening can result in pregnancy.


I developed a D cup overnight and my skin doesnt stretch, now i have stretch marks on my chest, (they're not really bad though) but ive always been so self consious about it, now 7 years later, i wonder what they're opinion on it is. I always wished i didnt have them but my husband doesnt mind at all. What do you think?

Stretch marks are a very common thing. Almost all girls get them when they develop, since it happens so quickly. Common places for stretch marks are breasts, buttocks and thighs, although you can sometimes see them around the belly after pregnancy. \nIf you look up closely, you will see that most men also have stretch marks (belly, bottoms and so on). Of course, aesthetically, they are not the most pleasing thing, but they are so common that anyone who said anything would be being a little silly about it. \nIf you are embarrassed about your stretch marks, and especially since they are on your breasts, try using a bit of powder make up on them when you wear a low neckline. It will basically hide them, and make you look as if you had spent some time sun-bathing.


Conventional PV will cost ~$4-5K per installed kw peak production.  So, take this and apply data for different areas as far as average day length for various times of the year that will have different weather conditions, etc.  I don't have that data handy for upstate New York, but you can get it from the link below.\n\nI'll make a guess of ~25% effectiveness in any one 24 hour period, this means each peak kw of production power will get you say 6 kwh per day, 365 days a year which gets you 2190 kwh per installed peak kw.   So, you'd need about 23 installed peak kw generating capacity to produce 50000 kwh per year, which would cost about $92K to install.


ABSOLUTELY you are.\n\nThat is aiding and abetting.\n\nNot to mention you are an AMERICAN or at least you LIVE IN AMERICA and you should be following AMERICAN laws.

If you think it's bad now, just wait. Dump him ASAP!


if there is only one god, anything you worship is created by him and you worship him, so if he makes a fuss that we must not worship a false god logic has it that there really are other gods.

i am intrigued by your idea of LOGIC!!! interesting


I want to start a business where i help others get books published. I am getting published and would like to market my books but help others get published

You basically want to become a book publishing agent, where authors would come to you and you help them get published. Your role as an agent would be to make the process of finding a publisher for writers easier, faster, and hopefully, more lucrative. \n\nYou help writers craft better book proposals, you pitch the proposals to publishers and you help negotiate the deal between the writer and publisher.\n\nLiterary agents have different ways to earn. Typically, they earn by commission basis (often 15 percent) on the books they sell and everything relating to that book, such as excerpted magazine articles, audio tapes and films (but not speeches and personal appearances). Agents usually receive 20 percent for overseas sales.  Some agents charge reading fees just for looking at book proposal, and many charge for the costs incurred in making the deal happen (e.g. photocopying costs, telephone costs, etc) over and above the 15% commission.\n\nOther types of agents charge by the hour the work they do on author's proposal - from reading the book proposal to marketing the proposal. So even if they failed to get a publisher interested in the book and publish the book, they get paid for the hourly work done for the prospective author.


I keep finding someone I like, I write them (too much I am now wondering) and POOF!...they are up in smoke. I'm getting discouraged. What's it take to keep a male as a 'friend?' I am married, I luv fantasy tattoos, Wicca. I think I try and analyze (men, anything.) Is this a turn off to men? It hurts my feelings! I hate it when someone just 'quits writing' worst of all! What's up with that? I think it's 'cowardly.' Why does everyone feel they're 'more of a man' too 'hitting on me?' (Is it the tattoos? I'm a very moral kind of a person BUT I think I might be sending out the wrong vibes here as I talk a 'spicy' game.) ciao-

It seems like you make the mistake than many women do, you get too far ahead of yourself.  Men like body language more than written language.  Men know that you like them because you make subtle signals like touching the back of their arm and things like that.  The trick is to go with the flow, don't try to hard, in fact barely try at all.  Keep yourself busy with friends and stuff.  That will drive him nuts for you.  Do you meet men in person or via the internet?  That also might be your problem.  Internet dating is fickle. If you are looking for a committment, think about joinging a Wiccan Meetup or something.  \n\nGood Luck


Wow, I probably sound really dumb right now..\nbut like what's the actual code for it?\n\nLike if I wanted to add a picture, it would be something like <img>, right? whats the actual code for myspace??\n\nThanks.

<img src="url of image" alt="" />\n\nwhere it says url of image, replace that with the address of the image you find when you right click and go to properties.\nremember, do not delete the quotes.\nand also, there is no ending tag for the <img> tag. It's what's called a self-closing tag.\n\nand also keep in mind -- myspace doesn't "have it's own code." it uses the same html anything else does. there's just a few quirks...'tis all.\n\nif this doesn't work, email me.


im soo bad at writing and reading well im good with conventions but otherwise how can i improve?

I'd say just keep reading.  Find something you enjoy and isn't too hard for you to read.  After that,  pick something a little more challenging but just as interesting.  Also, there may be literacy volunteers in your area trained to help adults read (for free).  Good Luck.

Seriously this isnt a joke or anything. I noticed only at certain times when I have this unique powerful emotions I can have the ability to do strange things. Like sometimes if I start zoning out I can block somebodys ability to think clearly. And sometimes If I really hug a girl like I mean it I feel this sphere of energy transfer from my stomach to hers, and when that happens they always look or sound like they just had an orgasm. But for the most part if I feel a strong emotion I can make everybody else arround me feel the same without saying anything.

It sounds like you are really in touch with the higher dimensions, or your spiritual side. Look into new age spirituality, and see how far you can take this stuff. Its exciting!

im doing a child development study and need basic info on the development of hearing and what happens if a child is thought to be deaf...any good links?

Normal Hearing Development in Children:\nhttp://www.drpaul.com/growth/hearing.html\n\nWarning signs that a child may have a hearing loss:\nhttp://www.babycenter.com/general/baby/babydevelopment/6748.html\n\nNewborn and school hearing screenings are required in most states, but if there is a concern that there is a hearing loss, the child should be further diagnosed through a full audiological exam.


No, no global disaster, but it sure will smell bad.

I like sum1.but i dont know if she likes me back.she used to send good signals, but now she acts weird to me.  It is as though she thinks that i am the grossest thing on the planet.  however, she still says my name in that same little 'cute' way and laughs at me on occasion.  i am very confused and i have no clue what to do.  Every time i find something saying that she doesnt like me, i find something to controdict that and make me think she likes me again.  I have no clue what to do about it.  does she like me back or is she telling me to get lost?  How can i attack this?

Maybe she isn't sending mixed signals, it could be the way you are interpreting them. The best way to clear the issue up? Come out and ask her directly. Some people feel that the can't reveal their feelings unless the other person does it first. This helps protect from being rejected. Just tell her that you have an interest in her and ask if she is having the same feelings.

Are the four lines in hockey setup in order of talent which of the two defensive pairings are the lines paired up with and can one player sub in or out or does it have to be a whole line?

Typically, the lines are in order of talent, but you do try to balance that some..Normally, they do try to keep the lines intact and change them at the same time--so they get the same amount of rest between shifts--but that's not absolutely necessary.  Coaches will often change players on lines during the game in order to find combinations that will work against the defense they're facing.


I have to be able to work from it and it needs to be internet capable, I would like windows xp and office pro. As far as personal use, I would like to have descent video and sound quality and at least 2 external speakers and a sub, enough to listen to music and play games like sims. I think I would like a wireless keyboard and mouse and a good firewall. I will need a router (hard wired)and network card to hook 3 computers together and for extra firewall protection.I am looking for something reasonable but somewhere also willing to let you make payments over a year or two.I will need approximately 180-250 gig hard drive space and what ever amount of memory and processor speed to make it all work. I will need a dvd r/w and a cd or another dvd drive and a floppy drive.Also looking for an all in one fax/ scanner/ copy/ printer. I need someones opinion on what meets these requirements. I am a single mother who is self employed and have a limited budget. Hope that was enough. If not just ask

You should build the computer yourself. You can get many parts that you need from garage sales and the like. The parts that I would still buy would be: ATX Case w/power supply (nothing fancy now, just a case w/400 watt power supply), a CPU, a Motherboard, a SATA 250GB-300GB HDD for security reasons, a OEM copy of Windows XP Pro ($140). Unfortunately, CPUs are expensive! You'll have to save your pennies for that!  DVD/CD drives can be found on most recent computers at garage sales. Just ask them if the CD or DVD drives are working. Strip the memory out of the old ones too, it may work in your build. There is usually a sticker on the memory that gives the info on it for that stick. If you put it yours just make sure that it is the right type for the mobo and CPU. This could become a family project, have the kids help you out! They have lots of friends looking to rid themselves of old computers. You can make use of those parts! Go to the library and borrow books on how to build computers. There are a lot of them out there! Shop at Newegg.com on the weekends for parts, they have weekend sales on new parts every weekend. This isn't going to be a $200 computer, but it WILL be what you want! You also can buy parts as you can afford them, and there's no finance charges on cash!

There's a sample right at the very end of this track, does anyone know what it is and where it came from?

I can't tell you what is said, but I can tell you that it is a track bleed and not a sample (samplers didn't exist commonly at that time).\n       When you record on tape you record tracks and some will be longer than others because not every instrument plays through the entire song. So on a rough mix you hear everything that was p[layed until you mute or record over the parts you don't want. \n     At the end of the song it is mostly the synth keyboard, and as that winds down you hear the voice faintly in the background & then there is a bass hit and some tinkely piano that comes from nowhere & the song ends. Well the stuff at the end are sounds that the band played but knew wouldn't be used, happens all the time, because when they recorded the song they didn't know how it was going to end. They were probably planning on a fade out but liked the synth so much they let it play out. \n       Martin Hammet the producer, didn't erase everything to the very end of the song because he didn't think it would go on that long. so it just shows up unannounced after he erased or muted the unused tracks at the end of the song. They probably liked it  because it was unexpected and it's pretty and a great end to the song. But the voice is someone talking in the studio and  a bass or piano track picked it up and that is why it sounds so far away and is so unintelligable.

You'll start to feel faint within the first day as your blood sugar drops.  You're body will adjust and start making it's own glycogen to supply energy to the brain after that, but you won't return to 100%.  The normal everday activities you speak of will feel strenuous as your body enters starvation mode, preserving energy for survival.


has anyone ever hit 4 home runs in a single game(mlb)?

The record is 4. Denny Sothern of the Philadelphia Phillies was the first to do it in 1933..... I believe ... 5 have did it since then.. including Albert belle,Sammy Sosa,Eric Karroo's, Andres Gllaraga and i believe shaun green did a few years back


God, I need HELP! 30 minutes ago I tried to steal my husbands credit card because I found these "miracle" diet pills on the net for 80 bucks.  Tell me who does this at 3 AM? Luckily he woke up and asked me what I was doing. I snapped back to reality and stopped myself. I have NEVER been a skinny girl, I've always been a little chubby but NORMAL and happy with my body and my little curves. I get pregnant with my first child a little over a year ago and much to my horror I gained 60 lbs. during my pregnancy. It's truly amazing how you can justify in your head shoving a pan full of brownies in your mouth and claim that "it's for the baby". It's like I thought the weight would MAGICALLY come off when my baby was born. SURPRISE! There is not enough space in this box to type the number of weight loss thngs I've tried - breastfeeding (yes it burns calories, and of course its good for baby), starvation, diet pills, more diet pills (bfing stopped). I have no IDEA what to do now, and I feel like

I wouldn't dream of cracking jokes on you!\nI'll write more in a minute sorry\n\nHoney, take it easy don't be discouraged because 60 lbs is not that much if your baby is 6 months. You took 9 months to put that weight on, remember? Now it may a good time to start shedding those, but  your precious baby comes first (BTW, congratulations!!) so you don't want to take diet pills or anything that might get you nervous, anxious or stressed out, or also starving and weak. \n\nSo please go slowly, forget those brownies for a while, go for fresh fruits and veggies, whole cereals, skim dairy , lean meats, fish, forget the seasonings, mayo, heavy cream, ice cream, cookies, cakes, etc. You can have some occasionally, for example on Sundays, but don't eat them on a daily basis. If you fill up on soup, veggies and lean meats, you won't feel the need for sugaries and if you do go for a yogurt or baked apple with just a little sugar, or a sundae made with fruits, you'll be needing all the vitamins you can get! \n\nTry to walk a little, for example stroll down with your baby, remain as active as you can, be dinamic and joyful. You have to be at your best not only for you and hubby but especially for your girl, she needs you at your best. No one will be judging you for your baby fat, I assure you! Just go slowly, take it easy and don't obsess (I am repeating myself, sorry...) \n\nLife is beautiful! Your daughter is beautiful! You are beautiful! Just forsake processed foods, cut just a tiny bit from each of your portions, be active, and you'll start seeing some progress, I promise you.\n\nGood luck! All the best for you and Baby!!


Neither.\nIf lines are parallel, their slopes are the same. (Slope = (Y2 - Y1)/(X2 - X1); Rise over run) \nIf lines are perpendicular they're the negative reciprocals of each other. (Negative reciprocal means one over the slope times -1). Slope 1 = 37/5; so slope 2 should be -5/37 to be perpendicular, but it's -1/2.\n\nHope that helped.\n;]

I have been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and PTSd. the Army says that both are preexsesting to my entering the millitary. since ive been in the ARMY they have giving me a hysterectomy, removing my uterus cervix and fallopin tubes. after that I went into a hea vy depression, that was a year ago. now the army wants to give me an admin seperation, and deny me the bennifits that im owed. should i fight or just let them put me out

I would suspect that there is more to the story than this.  The military tends to take a very liberal view regarding things that are 'service-connected.'  (Especially in regards to PTSD.)\n\nGenerally, PTSD will not get you put out, but bi-polar does render you 'medically unqualified' for military service.\n\nMy advice is to go back and talk to the people providing you with medical treatment to make sure what you said is correct.


Does it hurt when you first put a tamopn in?

no, buh otha ppl might be more sensative, yoo wont kno (if it hurts yoo) until yoo try!


Here is the real question.The government knows the possibilities of this pandemic. WHY don't they protect Americans with the Tamiflu shot? Why isn't the vaccine made available to everyone now, rather than when it hits? \nThen I look at 911 and Kristina, they said that would never happen either. It's just that if the bird flu arrives, there won't be anyone remaining to talk about it.....We will all be dead.

I'll take you points in sequence:\n\n1) No one, government or otherwise, can protect anyone from this flu __IF__ it mutates and becomes contagious in people. For reasons which are not clear, most flu viruses are highly contagious; if this is one, after it leans how to infect humans, there will be no possible quarantine which can possibly have any effect. The Hong Kong flu jumped from Hong Kong (where it was first seen) to the East Coast of the United States, without much of a progression across the Pacific nor in the other direction through Asia and Europe and across the Atlantic. No one knows how. Nor do we know in any other case of pandemic flu spread. And it spread more or less everywhere else too. If this virus, after it becomes readily infective in humans, is that contagious, it will be everywhere eespite anything anyone, or any government, can do. \n\nThe only known way to protect anyone from such a virus is with a vaccine, and until the mutation of the existing virus so it can infect humans easily, there is no way to build a vaccine. Not against a virus which doesn't yet exist. \n\n2) the Tamiflu shot isn't all that effective against regular flu. It decreases symptoms some, but is hardly a cure. Or much protection either. And the same is true for the only other drug we have which has any effect on teh usual flu. No one really knows whether either of these will make any difference to people infected with this H5N1 strain of avian flu if it makes the jump to contagiousness in humans. \n\n3) There is no vaccine now, so there's no vaccine to made available to anyone. Or withold from anyone either. There is a vaccine against the bird flu that currently exists, but that virus is hardly a danger to anyone except chickens and other birds. More folks die from falls every day than this virus has killed in the last decade. Of the 200 some folks known to have been infected with it, more than half have died, which is a very serious mortality rate. But thst's over ten years in countries all over the globe. This virus is not, as things stand today, a threat to humans anywhere, except economically to those who raise poultry or who depend on wild birds of some kind. \n\n4) Experience with pandemics and other things in our species' past does NOT support your claim that we will all die if this flu arrives. Thus far, no disease has managed to kill everybody; we all do, after all, have ancestors who survived. The Black Plague, which is perhaps the worst sudden plague we've experienced (and that's historically documented) killed between 20% or 35% of the population of Western Europe over a couple of decades once it appeared in this or that area of Europe. England has the best surviving records and teh toll might have been a few percent higher there. This was and is a disease of rodents (and their fleas) in the Eastern Asian steppes and had never been seen in Europe until it was brought West with Genghis Khan's armies. Only it traveled fast enough that a flareup of plague woulnd't burn out before the next stop. That plague is now endemic in the Western North American plains and we know that it arrived by ship from China in the late 1800s. Some scholars even think they know the name o fhte ship. It's been spreading across the Plains ever since. Gophers and prairie dogs are the resevoir here. \n\nAnother example of a disease encountering an immunologically naive human population is smallpox. It is quite contagious, and quite deadly even amongst those descended from survivors. Among those whose ancestors had not encountered it, smallpox is more than terrifying. It was the secret weapon that accompanied Cortes into Mexico and which allowed him (with a couple of hundred men) to defeat the large and organized military Aztec empire. Even so, it didn't kill every one. Tuberculosis was also new to Native Americans, and has been especially deadly when it infects them. In fact, many generations later, it i


Girls can play any sport, but some people think boys are better than girls and they can win in any sport against any sport. Please answer my question I wanna know what you think man/gurl :) hugs & kissese

i think if a girl thinks she could do it and really wants to than, she should. Look at what Anika Sorinstam did for womens golf. I think if they are able, i don't see why not. As far as the guys are better than girls at every sport, thats a bunch of bull. I know i have got my butt whipped by girls in a couple of co-ed sports.


is she skinny, chunky, brown hair  blonde hair? big boobs?

I am a girl of 22 years old and have had a lot of experience with guys. I am not shy and will ask a guy face to face what he looks for in a gal... from what i have been told guys look for "normal" girls. most hate it when a girl cakes her face in makeup and trys too hard to look "nice" what guys want is for a girl to have personallity rather than looks. thats the honest truth. They dont want a really ugly girl when theyre young coz they dont wana lose in front of their mate.... so be yourself and be confident and whatever you don DONT change the way you look or act to impress anybody be proud of you and be confident with yourself and youll have the guys flooding at you...promise. xx


What do i do if my "guy friend" wont call me when he's at his dads house so any guys that can help, HELP!

Wait for him to call, or live your life and forget him.


Saw the movie trailer for the new "Omen" movie and started thinking about this...it'd be interesting to know if anything odd happened on 6/6/666, dontcha think?

BBC:\nThe unrest began after a US military vehicle (!!!!!!)apparently lost control and smashed into at least 12 other civilian vehicles during rush-hour in Kabul's northern suburbs\n\nSome eyewitnesses said they saw the soldiers shoot at protesters, while (!!!!!!!)others say it was the Afghan police who came to the aid of the under-siege convoy. Some say it was both.

If you were a reporter and go to an accident one hour after it happens, how would you report the story? You report that one car smashed into another. You also interview witnesses. But what happens if the witnesses are giving you different stories (which happens all the time)? You report what you see and what the witnesses say even if the stories are different.\n\nThat's exactly what I see happening here.


I can donate some money to this family, but I was wondering how I go about raising more money to give them during this difficult time.  Are there any laws?  Do I need to contact someone for a permit?  How do I find others who want to donate too?  Any imput would help me know where to go from here.  Thanks!

do what bikers do. find a friendly tavern, talk to owner about doing a benifit, it takes about 2 months to put together a good one. you go to all the stores of all kinds, and ask for donations to raffle off and door prizes. average benifit raises about $2,000 bucks.dont forget to advertise it with fliers, 90% stores and taverns will let you post a flier.


has anyone ever dissected owl pellets? and, if so, did any1 else think it was kool? im the only girl (out of foura) in my class that actually touched it. my partner wouldn't even touch it with gloves on and wen i told her to glue finger bones on the paper, she glued a jawbone where the pelvis went and a rib where the finger went

I disected a frog once, cut off its leg, took it on the bus with me on my way home, stuck it in the seat sticking out (so it looked like the frog had gotten crushed by the seat) and freaked out some girls. \n\nThat was back when I didn't know I was in the wrong science, biology when really I belonged in computer science. Oh well.


I am thinking of getting a photo printer for my Windows computer. Is there one available that can also print Word documents, or do I have to get a seperate inkjet printer for that purpose?

absolutely. its a printer just it specializes in printing high resolution pictures. you can still print word documents just as you would a regular printer. in other words you don't have to buy a seperate printer.

I think it a contradiction in terms that any illegal immigrant stand in an american street and protest our laws when there not abidding by them there selves.They come to america for a future,and then want to step on the very fabric that has established this nation.There leaving there country because it was`nt providing them the opprotunity to succeed the way they see fit.They need to protest in there own streets against the government that runs there country,instead of coming to the United States and assume it owes them something.I will make a point that this has nothing to do with race or morality issues.If you really want to get down to it,the term "rights" is something that is granted not owed!!

Obviously it depends on the country.  Don't try it in Iran or North Korea.  You'll be ok in Britain, Australia, Switzerland, a lot of other places.  (In a lot of countries, they'd probably just smirk at you or look puzzled.)

After Australia beat Greece last night in a friendly match at the MCG, do you think Australia has any chance of making the finals.?

Why not, Australia have already beaten four World Champions and drawn with another. Uruguay-England-France-Arentina and drew with Brazil. Anything can happen in FOOTBALL and I say again WHY NOT. Some of these games may of been "Friendlies" but they are still full international games.


Mine is "where is the library?", when my desk is the entrance to the library.

The dumbest question asked of me isn't when I'm at work.  It's when I'm out with my year old twin daughters, who are the same size and not identical, but look almost identical.  People stop, drop their jaws and ask "Are the twins?"  I always want to respond, no dumb*** one is real and the other is an illusion.


Hi there,\n\nanyone knows about clicky.gif yet? I have happened to receive the clicky.gif file via Y!M, which i was afraid that it's a kind of virus if it's opened. I did not open it, but a friend of mine in my Y!M list was sent by my Y!M id without my intention.\n\nAnyone has official info about this file?\n\nThanks in advance\nPhuong

I don't ahve official info, but I do know alot out viruses.  You can't recieve a virus through a gif.  The gif is just a format and if you open it it will just view the image.  It is posible that the virus was .exe and renamed to .gif, but even then when u open it with a program that normaly opens gifs it won't properly open thy virus.  So don't worry, open as many gifs as you want.  :)


I need to have supporting documentation that alternating week visitation is the least damaging to children ages 5 and up. I can't find it anywhere. If anyone knows where I could find that it would be very much appreciated.

This is an interesting question worth exploring. My main answer is that whatever you guys agree on that it be consistant. The children need to know what to rely on.\n\nIf you want to know of any studies then drop by your local college psychology department. Then, see if you can talk to a psychology instructor or someone in the psych department. And/or visit someone in the Teaching and human development department. \n\nThis would be a good study and a good exercise to go through. Whatever you do, MAKE SURE BOTH PARENTS get adequate quality time with the children. Do what's best for the child rather than looking for an argument to get your way. Remember again, be consistant and loving in a positive relationship. Negotiation is the key. The child needs to see cooperation between both parents.

Ok last night i spoke to my partner over the phone but i accendintly sed that i took some kind of drug i wont say wat it was but then my other half put the phone does that mean they dont wanna talk to me know more i realy love my partner an dont wanna loose but im sure i sed i took that drug ages ago but why now not, talk to me?

your partner sounds mad that you took the drug and quite likely too. I wouldnt like to be with a junkie. \n\nAnyway, explain it only happened once and it will never happen again, say that you love him/her just let them know how you feel, if they love you enough hopefully they will come back, but a partner taking drugs can come at quite a shock...dont expect a miracle but do try.\nhope this helps :)


Is it just mere appearance of these two groups that made him hate them?\nDid he have any personal vandetta against them or what?\n\nWas Hitlar a nice guy even at his relaxed after-work times to his fellow people?\n\nWas he a rude guy by nature?\n\nDid he believe in the God? \n \nWhat could have been the problem?...I really feel sorry for him if he died with that attitude.\nSounds unbelievable hearing it from a black person I know but it's true!\n\nDid he have a painful up bringing?

Hilter didn't just hate the Jews and black people, he hated Catholics, German's who helped people flee from his wrath, people with disablities (even if you walked with a limp). If you even had a sixteenth of Jewish blood in you, you were consider Jewish. According to the Holucust Mesume in Washington DC, he wanted to create the ulimate race of Germans (blonde hair and blue eyes). Hilter was an interesting chararter. A bad apple that's for sure. He was brought to power by promising the people of Germany food and bring the country's economy back up. After WWI German suffered greatly from debts and such. So of course they would listen to the devil himself if he made such promises. I hope this answers your question.

Does anyone have any information on inclusion for special education students (websites, personal experiences, etc...)

Inclusion is when students with a need for individiualized instruction are included in the regular classroom and receive the services they need within the classroom setting.  This may be for some or all classes.\n\nStudents who are mainstreamed are most often students with mild to moderate learning or emotional disabilities.  They will have an invoiivualized education plan (IEP) written by a team of people concerned about his/her educational progress.  That team generally incudes special education teacher, regular education teachers, specialists such as speech therapists, parents and representatives from any community service providing agencies.\n\nThe IEP will include modifications and accomodations that may be made within the general education setting to allow the student to thrive.  These may be as simple as untimed tests and seating near the teacher, to having the teacher wear a special sound ampligfication device, among others.\n\nDoes inclusion work?  Well, that depends on the school district's commitment to inclduing kids in the regular classroom, on the students (and parents') willingness to meet some general classroom expectations, and upon the skill of the classroom teacher.  If everyone works together and expects success, it generally happens.  If any member of the instructional team doubts the child's ability to succedd, it usually becomes a self-fulfilling prohecy, and the child may end up back in a separate special education setting. This special environment is viewed as being a more restictive environment, whereas the incluusion class is viewed as a less restrictive environment, as required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).\n\nMy third grader has surprised some naysayers and has been included in regular education for math and special subjects for two years now.  I also enjoy helping students reach their academic goals.\n\nI hope this answers your question.


I am looking for software the looks for trends in the market and picks out stocks. Please tell me if you have heard of any. Thank you.

Software cannot predict stock prices reliably.  It's been scientifically shown that price trends have no predictive value--in other words, it's basically random.\n\nIf software could predict stock prices, people would use that information to dump money in and out of those stocks, which would change the price and render the prediction useless.


I have had lots of dental work but have not once that I can remember have had dentist say that it is warrantied.

If it is a routine restoration like a filling, usually a dentist will make good on it for 6mos. to a year.  But after that, not usually unless it's on a crown like porcelain fracture for about a year or two.  The reason is that if someone doesn't take care of their teeth after a restoration, a tooth can re-decay underneath causing the restoration to need replacement. #1 reason for decay...frequency teeth are exposed to sugar or even carbonic acid from  diet drinks.

most them hate Christians and blame the problems on right wing extremist. but there ideolgy is very similar to a mutated Christianity with out Christ. They beleive they are Saviors of the world, because Jesus didn't do enough. Christ died for freedom from the bondage of sin, Liberals want everyone to be free too, free never to be watch by the government, freedom to allow illegals to do whatever they want. Because freedom to a liberals means no laws. But freedom to Christians means having laws and doing to best to follow them and being free not to feel guilty if you fail. But liberal want freedom from guilt too, so they want to change the laws so it is not wrong...it will only result in anarchy

I think the reason is that liberals believe that man is capable of being perfect without anybody's help. They think that all it takes is education. This is the reason behind much of their supposedly self-righteous anger at anybody who seems to diagree with them:\n\n"I've just explained my position to this person, and he disagrees! Since I can't possibly be mistaken, he might simply be too stupid to understand. I'll be patient and give him a second chance."\n\n(After explaining a second time,)\n\n"I've just explained my position to this person who was pretending to be honestly curious and he STILL disagrees! Since I can't possibly be mistaken, and he doesn't seem to stupid to understanmd, he must be DELIBERATELY pretending to be dumb in order to waste my time! That makes him a CAD as well as a HERETIC! What's more, he knows EXACTLY how much what he says and does irritates me, AND HE'S DOING IT ON PURPOSE!"\n\nThe above assumptions cover most if not quite all of the liberal position. People are not born liberal. What kind of person does it require to take an innocent child and turn them into a liberal...? I will tell you what kind of person you need. It takes a villain.\n\nYou correctly point out that liberals are dissatisfied with Christ, this is because they largely do not have a personal sense of sin. They see no need or a Savior, they do not recognize the moral response of guilt (" 'laws' are for the governed, not for the governor") and they have lost all sense of shame.\n\nLiberals appear to recognize guilt only as a means of manipulating people; they will not admit to a real sense of moral guilt because that would be to recognize a standard be behavior above themselves. They respond to attempts to put them on the same footing with the rest of the world as attempts to shame them, and their pride will not allow them to admit that they might be mistaken. So they castigate those who would criticise them, at the same time hurling terrible and vicious attacks against their opponents, in an attempt to shame their opponents. \n\nBecause they do not realize that there must be a basis to moral accusations, their attacks are largely built on emotional appeal, and are factually invalid.\n\nThis unyeilding effort to block all sense of personal responsiblity has its parallel in an individual psychological response, called malignant narcissism.\n\nMalignant narcissism was first described by a psychologist and author Dr. M. Scott Peck in his books The Road Less Traveled, and others. He describes the resistance of some hideously selfish people to recognize their own selfishness. This was his attempt to describe the moral condition traditionally called 'evil', in psychological terms. When faced with the 'good', evil must destroy it or be forced to face its own selfishness.\n\nIn American liberalism to day, I believe that we see malignant narcissism raised to the institutional level.\n\nThe group behavior of people may be either better or worse than their individual behavior. Among Christians we recognize that we ought to continue to assemble together on a regular basis becuse we will stimulate each other to love and good works more than if we do not meet regularly.\n\nAnd, we have (unfortunately almost daily in the news) seen reports of troublemakers who, egged on by their peers, commit even more heinous acts of violence and selfishness than they would have stooped to without such provocation. What makes organized crime and gang activity so bad and so dangerous to the community is the fact that it is organized. Organization is a 'good', which was made and intended to serve other goods. It is terrible that it has been coopted and enslaved to serve evil.\n\nSo it is with liberalism in America today. (By the way, I  hope nobody has misunderstood-- this is political liberalism I am talking about. Liberal Christians are a different matter, in terms


My computer has some Firewall and Anti-Virus programs... I can't seem to start any of them they open up, then close right away.  So I go into my "Security Center" to turn on my windows Firewall... same thing... does anyone have any Idea what is wrong or how to fix it??   I already tired uninstalling then re-installing my virus progams and Firewall, even tried un-installing my virus scanner and install a different one, but both wont start up.

I need to preforate a lot of paper. Is there something that I can purchase

There are many different types depending on the type of perforating you have in mind. There are the types for arts & crafts, types for home office, and there are types for heavy duty business use.\n\nYour best bet is to browse a few Websites that picture them and describe their purpose until you find the one that does what you want it to do.\n\nI have used a Fiskars trimmer with perforating blade to create tear-off receipts on invoice sheets. These make a dashed perforation through the sheet and can handle about three sheets at a time.\n\nThe Fiskars unit I have is very similar to the Carl Rotary Trimmer I found on the Website of Office Depot.\n\nThere is the base unit which comes with a straight blade and can take a variety of other blades. (1)\n\nAdd to that the Perforating/Scoring Heavy-Duty Rotary Trimmer Blade and you can do perforating by using heavy pressure, scoring by using lighter pressure. (2)\n\nWith the Deckle/Victorian-Cut Rotary Trimmer Blade you can adapt the trimmer to scrapbooking. Much easier than using those funny scissors that come in kits.\n\nI also use a creasing blade, which is just a blunted blade that helps me to score a fold for making my own greeting cards using heavy card stock.\n\nIf your idea is not home and craft use, then here's a link to dedicated commercial machines: (4)\n\nThere are other processes that are called perforating. If this answer does not fit what you have in mind, either add your description to details or contact me by clicking on my icon. Once upon a time I was a craft instructor and have had a chance to see lots of different ways to achieve results.


so, it`s free, but then how do they make money?

they have a some services like Skype Out where you can call someone who is not a Skype user that they charge for (real cheap). They have other services that they charge for too but they are so inexpensive that they figure even the free users will utilise them.

If you are standing on the ground, then s0 = 0.\na)What is the function that describes this problem?\nAnswer:  \n\n\n\n\nb)The ball will be how high above the ground after 1 second?\nAnswer:  \nShow work in this space.  \n\n\n\n\nc)How long will it take to hit the ground?\nAnswer:  \nShow work in this space.  \n\n\n\n\nd)What is the maximum height of the ball?\nAnswer:  \nShow work in this space.  \n\n\n\n4)Amanda has 400 feet of lumber to frame a rectangular patio (the perimeter of a rectangle is 2 times length plus 2 times width). She wants to maximize the area of her patio (area of a rectangle is length times width).

You are obviously unfamiliar with how Yahoo Answers works. We cannot type in the space you provide. Your providing a lot of space means we have to scroll when answering, which is a pain. Even more of a pain is your pedagogical style of telling us what to do. People come here for fun, curiosity and stimulus, and to share what they know. Not to sit exams.\n\nAnd all that work for a poxy two points? Ask several separate questions for 2 points each, and you might get some responses. But do it this way, especially when you want the same question answered by more than one method, and I think you will be disappointed.


because jesus could fly. i thought don't birds need the hollow bones.\nalso did the jesuss's nails on the X go right thru jesus's bones or just beside his bones?

um...when could Jesus fly? \nand if by X, you mean cross, the nails probably went beside the bones.


One of the major complaints about ethanol is that there's little, if any, net gain in energy. Is the state of the science sufficiently advanced to allow solar power to be the primary energy supply?

I would like to say yes but at this point I would have to say no. I worked at an ethanol pilot plant and anyone in the industry can tell you to break down starch in the corn you need what they call a jet cooker. This uses high pressure steam at appx 400-600F. There is no way in hell solar panels could heat water to this temperature effeciently and consistently. Plus a lot of ethanol plants run 24 hours a day and that right there pretty much shoots that plan in the ass. A good thought though. Ethanol will become more effecient once the enzyme industry catches up and can CHEAPLY use switchgrass as a fuel source.
