Your answer should print out in integer format(if value is large \nit should fill two - three lines)but not use long double or any other such data-type?\nYou have to write C/C++ code for it?

why don't you do your homework by yourself? you're going to die when you get into the higher level programming classes. either figure it out yourself or drop out of your major. it only gets harder from here and you can't continue to cheat... especially when your final comes around. but... if you're doing it in C++, i'd check either boost or the stl. i remember something in there letting you do large numbers like that. if not... use an array of integers and its as simple as multiplying by hand


I am modifying a previous question...I witnessed a 1/3 the size of the sun explosion that lasted a few seconds.I later read in usa today that scientists described it us the 2nd biggest since B.B.If so that would mean we might have a baby brother universe...sort of...or maybe not?Any input?

I've not heard of this, but the biggest explosion since Big Bang? Sounds very exaggurated in my opinion. There was however an article about a large star exploding and turning into a black hole that was observed.\n\nThe last link I think talks about your event. The middle one is just interesting if you wonder about them in general.

I'm wondering if such a game exists where I can add virtual money to the stock market and have the program tell me how much money I would have made had it been real money.\n\nIf not Im thinking of making one.

Yes the one my daughter participated in was through the Boys and Girls club. They give you a simulated $100,000 to start off.\nwww.stockmarketgame.org \n\nHope this helps.


No, please inform us.  I have no idea who they are or anything else.

My wife is a big fan of Sacred Source.  She finds lots of stuff there, of course e-bay is also a good place to find just about anything.


I want people to be comfortable with theirselves around me, but I often fear that being my bubbly, affectionate self and being affirming with men as people comes off as hardcore flirtation.  Do I need to just simmer down and find a different style of encouragement until I know them better, or is there a practical but situationally encompassing way around it?

Don't touch. Think "professional" without thinking "formal" if that's possible. Mention how great your boyfriend or husband is every now and then.


audience could get to vote and participate in a reality tv shows

It helps both, the Phone Company and the Poll TV Program.\n\nYou will notice that these messages carry a different charge. The same charge is levied to you message and then the same is shared between the Phone Company and TV Program Producers.\n\nWhat it is probably helfull about is to get a more generalized opinion from audiences whom the producers cannot see.\n\nA number other benefits include, but may not be limited to, Viewer Statistics, Viewers preferred and most watched programs, Companies to provide better and more targetted products. The mileage is unlimited for the right kind of company.\n\nIn my personal opinion, it is still somewhat convoluted. No one knows whether the winner was voted or selected.


I did and now we are going out 6 years and counting and he gave me a promise ring. (I am a girl)

i did and i still do. i have never told him.it's so hard to tell whether you like your friend as just a friend or as something more because the line between friendship and lovers is very thin. i always liked him as more than a friend but i settled for friendship rather than nothing. when i am with him, it feels like its just the two of us and the way he looks at me.


I headr in November people were working hard on impeachment. When's it gonna happenn!?!?!

Bush is a puppet for the wolfowitz doctrine and other high profile secret societies. He is not for the people, he is for corporations, and making money for him and his cronies. Not helping any of use americans. Bush is a good puppet.


I am helping my friend's son with his high school geometry homework. The topic is GLaD construction or partitioning. I understand how to get half, 1/3, 1/5, etc., but how do you get a fraction with a denominator bigger than one? Like 2/5 for example? Thanks!

make two equal acute angles at both the end.take consecutive arcs from end point.the num of arcs is equal to sum of numerator and denominator.arcs should be made on both acute angle lines. now join arcs equal to the ratio to be divided


When he was really sick with a fever, he was helpless and i was there for him. when he got better his attitude got worse. he was so sweet and he has been before that for awhile.  Before we were arguing over stupid things. Now this started. We've been going out for 16-months today. I want to know why he's being so short with me and being down right nasty to me sometimes these couple of weeks.  He's fine every now and then. But i have to be careful of what i say. I went to touch the remote in his lap and he threw a fit. I snapped back and i said all i wanted to do was check the time. then he immediately shuts up. what the heck!!! I'm getting really sick of it, but yet i stay with him because we've been through a lot and i love him very much. I've been backing off slowly too. What else should i do?

sit down with him and see if that is what he really wants with you. yall really need to talk and get alone for some personal time like going out to a dinner and a movie. just a nice romantic evening


He up and left me bout 2 months ago with no warning and we have 2 kids and one onthe way

I don't know, but you should ask an attorney.\n\nHe sounds like a real scumbag.\n\nGood luck, friend.


I havent seen or heard from him since.He did a similiar thing months ago,and cut off all financial support.I took him back and now this.


i have two childred and i am the only supporter for them. i did not and do not want anything to do with the child in question. i want sign over my rights. if i can't get this done the child support will put my family on the streets. we can barely make it the way it is. how can i do this

Yeah, it ain't easy.  If the mother has a husband, boyfriend or even girlfriend who wants to adopt the child, you can voluntarily allow an adoption.  If the mother is agreeable, you could try to craft some sort of agreement wherein she doesn't ask for support from you.\n\nBut, in general, the state is never going to let a living parent out of his support responsibilities.  If the child goes on public assistance, the state can look to you for remuneration even if you have a private agreement not to pay support.  And if you become disbaled, that child may be able to collect social security even if you have no relationship.\n\nSo, um, accept the fact that this child is part of your family, part of your life and part of the responsibilities you accepted by your own actions.


I need more chores to do around the house besides doing the dishes, walking the dog, and sweeping. My mom can never think of anything for me to do, and she won't just give me money (haha) so I have no ideas! What do you think are some things that I could do? Thanks a lot!!

u could wake her up with a nice cup of coffee and tell her how bueatiful she is.If she dont drink coffee then wake her up with some candy or something.Get her heart pumped early or u could sweet talk ur dad

I have 111% passion for Business! where could i find someone to guide me through business & teach me how to help him/her make lots of money ?

Join chat rooms and meet other people looking to do the same thing you are doing. Maybe go to your local small business development center (sbdc).


Would you go on vaction? Purchase a new car? Would you retire from working? \n\nI would purchase a new car (most likey a Jaguar) and use the winning to pay off my education.

depends on how much I won, if I had won the powerball jackpot I would have given huge amounts to charities like St. Jude's, March of Dimes, etc. I would help out my mom get a good house so she doesn't have to pay rent forever, I'd help my dad however I could, as for me first I'd pay off all my debts especially all my student loans and car note, then I would take a nice trip to venice, Paris, Rome. Maybe some other traveling. Open up a business that way I wouldn't have to work for someone else forever. Buy myself a nice home that I could live in for the rest of my life. Then I would put money up in savings bonds, college funds, etc. for my children so that they will be set when they get older. I'd definately do some shopping, but I'd also save a lot of it for living expenses and burial expenses so I am set rest of my life.


is there any software that can make this possible and without high tech gadgets such found in recording studios?

There is a way to produce psudo-karaoke tracks from mp3 files but their quality leaves a lot to be desired.  All that is required to do this is multitrack recording software.\n\nIt is not possible to make a "minus-one" track out of an mp3 file because this refers to a particular mixdown that was done from the orignal multitrack recording. Minus-one means that the song was bounced to a two-mix (stereo recording) minus one of the tracks (usually vocals, but can be guitar, keys, or other instrument).\n\n_____________________________________________\nRemoving vocals from a final recording depends on the production methods used on the track as well as your understanding of these methods.\n\nMost lead vocal tracks are in the center of the mix. They can be removed by panning the left and right tracks of the stereo mix to the center and inverting the polarity of one of the tracks. Inverting the polarity of one of the tracks will cause cancellation of anything that is common between both tracks. This can be done with most multitrack recording software.\n\nSince the vocals are in the center of the mix they are equally common between both channels and will be cancelled. However, other instruments that are common between the left and right channels will also be canceled. Most commonly this will include the bass and kick drum and result in reduced low frequency response. Another downfall of removing vocals with this method is the fact that you loose all stereo information and end up with a mono file.


From what you've heard from other people, which colleges and universities (US) have really good foreign language programs (preferably a wide selection of languages)?

Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah (a private church school)offers an incredible number of foreign languages, both commonly taught and less-commonly taught.  I know of no other school that offers more.


I mean an automated program, not a real person. I'd like something like a daily reminder to help motivate and focus myself on goals.

Many of the Olympic events have multiple contestants from the same country. For instance, women's half pipe had 4 Americans, pairs figure skating had three Chinese teams. Shouldn't there be only one athlete or team for each event per country. Why do some events have multiple contestants from the same country? Doesn't that make the odds of winning better for the country that has more contestants in a sport?

Each country is able to submit a team of performers....usually it's only three per event, but I guess sometimes its more.  Despite this, each athlete usually goes through qualifier rounds just to get to the finals..in which case you don't usually see more than 3 athletes per country.  They send three because the Olympics rewards three spots...Gold, Silver, and Bronze.  So rather than competing for the top spot, athletes compete for all three spots.  It's about being the world's best athlete...not the world's best athletic country.


is it  for  making wool...or  shearing  sheep?

The sheepshank, first developed in about 1627, is the most practical knot for shortening a rope without cutting it. The rope is first folded back and forth along its length. A clove hitch is then made at each end to secure the folds.


My parents are completely unwilling to help with my college in any way at all yet I still have to go off their income to try and go to college.  I managed to save enough money last year to go for almost a year but an injury I received at work caused me to have to drop out.  I am 21 years old and think it is kind of rediculous that I should be punished for my parents high income.  They let me live with them again for two months because I cut my finger tips off at work and once again had no money.  This caused me to not be able to claim independent once again and it seems the only way I can is by waiting another 6 years, having a baby, or getting married.  I want to go to school without having to work full time while there so I can dedicate more time to studying but the financial aid is based on a piece of paper that works well for most people.  Help me out please!!!

Man, that blows - the same thing happened to me... you'll be in debt up your arse.  I really wish I could help as I was in the exact same situation and you are right you feel like your are being steamrolled by a system designed by a bunch of narrow-minded nitwits.  Like these people never hear of a DISFUNCTIONAL FAMILY and like maybe we need even more help than someone else but they treat you like somehow you have claim over your parents' money.  So they act like your resources are ones that you can't use and use that to deny you help.  I feel for you, man.\nThe only thing I can suggest is going over and getting to know those financial aid counselors - go over there and make appointments and bug them and let them know your situation and that you are going to go and you really need them to get creative and help you out.


Well  I was rescrching.. I really was interested...

Edward VII reigned as King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1901 until 1910.


A few European papers post a few cartoons and the muslim world is having a fit. Why are muslims so thin skinned? Europe is secular. They have a free press. Why all the drama? \n(if you don't know what I am referring too, read.. http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&q=muslims+cartoons&btnG=Search+News)\n\nAnd here is the real irony. The cartoons suggest muslims are prone to violence, so to protest the cartoons, muslims are turning to violence.

Obliviously, they are just following their terrorizing, raving nature... being violent (or stormy), making noise, all along lacking in restraint and discipline.  That's terrorists for you.  They are trying to terrorize the Newspaper people.\n\nThe basics of terrorizing is: To frighten with threats or a show of force, or to intimidate/scare.  Muslims just put butter on their terror.\n\nThey probably would like to kill them over a cartoon.  Muslims are so prone to violence... there will not be peace with them... as it seems.


i bought some round balls and paint will that help?

Paint the protons one color, the neutrons another, and the electrons another. Put the nucleus together with the correct number of protons & neutrons. Put the correct # of electrons on it so that they appear to have some distance between them and the nucleus in an evenly spread manner. pretty simple. Styrofoam balls and toothpicks work great.


I know this maybe related to OCD and am familiar with those that can't throw anything away but I have the oppisite I can't stop throwing things away I have to have things just way I want them and I buy things and when they don't "fit" anymore I must get rid of them. I think I get "high feeling from throwing things away! Please if anyone has this or knows of a group that helps this I would like to know about it. I feel completely alone in this.  I do have other forms of OCD as well. This one I just can't make any progress on .

I am the same way, but I live with a pack rat.  I throw everything out and I just love the feeling of organization and clutter free living.  I don't think I am OCD.  My husband is OCD and he cannot stand when I chuck everything.  He is soo OCD that he even washes saran wrap, checks the windows and doors 2xs to see if they are locked everynight before he goes to sleep or before he goes somewhere and washes his hands way too much amongst other things.  I don't think your "throwing out" is all that much of a concern.  I would look at the other problems you have first.  They might be more OCD.


Do you keep your mouth shut and hope he doesn't find out? Do you fess up about your dogs romp with his dog ?

I will leave this posted until Valentine's Day and then let people vote on the best.

No vacation rentals, I will be working in Manzanillo at the resort the Tesoro. So the rent needs to be reasonable for someone working as a part of the entertainment department, and close enough to the resort 10 15 minutes away. Shared accomadations would be alright to. Just need a bedroom with a bathroom

I would try GoManzanillo web site listed below (I hope) but even that is tourist oriented.  Mexico works on word of mouth and you'll do much better talking to people in person.  Santiago is close and maybe your best bet for an inexpensive apartment.  When you first arrive try Hotel Maria Christina in DT Santiago for about $20us and maybe cheaper by the week or month.  They have a nice pool.


mine is heavy metal, cause they actually play thier own music, and my parents listened to older rock so that influenced me to what i listen to now

Evanescence, Disturbed, Mudvayne, Staind, Lacuna Coil, Slipknot, 10 Years, Flyleaf, Kittie, Breaking Benjamin, Crossfade, Shinedown, Seether, Godsmack, Hinder, Ill Nino, KoRn, Dark New Day, Adema, Cold, Trapt, Nickelback, & many many more...\n\nI'm not sure what influenced really...My Dad is a Southern Rock fan...that could have I suppose ?!?!...I just like it...don't really need a reason :)


my knees hurt pretty bad after jogging, they dont hurt right after I've stopped but they hurt like a minute after and continue for the next 3 mins. is there a specific reason why? and could it get really serious?

Jogging is a high-impact form of exercise, so it is rough on your joints in general.  If you can jog on a softer surface like a natural trail or special trails that have a foam like texture, or inside at a fitness center, that might help.\n\nDepending on your age and other factors, this could be a symptom of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or deterioration of the cartilige in your knee.  If it only hurts for a few minutes, I would just try finding a softer surface, or you could consider switching to a lower impact exercise like bicycling.  If it starts to interfere with your daily activity, then you should see a doctor or orthopedic surgeon for advice.


ok my ex is getting out of prison very soon and he wrote and told me that when he gets out, he will take me away from any man i am with. but i really care about this guy i have just started dating a long time ago. I mean i no longer love my ex please help.

Ok first off lets put things in perspective. Your ex is getting out of PRISON. That sentance alone should tell you who you should stay with, however, sometimes good people do bad things. So with that said, lets take another look. You are afraid that your ex will come back and take you away from this new guy that you really care about right? Well youve got to remember that this is your EX and hes called that for a reason. Whats your reason for calling him your ex and try to imagine being with him or with the new guy. If you truly feel you are happier with the new guy, then stay with him and tell the ex to leave you alone. If that doesnt work theres always restraining orders......

Depends. If you're going to work in athens, we're talking about a modern city of 5 million people, good metro system, and an expatriate community that is flourishing. Thessaloniki is the second largest city, easy life, beautiful city, and it becomes the center of the balkan economy.

Has anyone ever phoned a number they have seen on a programme and if so who answered e.g. a mobile number...whoose number is it?

Usually the number displayed in movies or TV begin with 555 (in the US, it might vary by other countries).  This practice started with the song Jenny (867-5309).  In order to avoid phone overload, they started using dummy numbers (so you won't get anything if you try calling the number).

I realize that we all are self-centered and can really only reflect values/qaulities we have been taught or have had instilled in us.  But where do people come of trying to define who and what god is.  I've read a lot of posts about how god is kind and good and merciful, etc...that's great and he probably is.  But then I read all these assumptions of what he isn't like "god isn't cruel" or "god would never abandon you or hurt you."  My point is all these NUTS have a very close minded interpretation of god; how can you KNOW who or what god is. I thought god was incomprehensible, a power beyond the limits of human understanding.  Instead it seems he is something to be pigeon-holed by values or characteristics people deem fit.  Give me and god a break.

I agree with you. When i see some people saying...follow this or god will hate you or punish you and so on, i feel the vibe of ignorance. This is my interpretation but I think god is formless since that divine energy is not just confined to our physical realm. But characterizing or defining God in human terms is an ignorant and self-centered way of interpretation.

Things have no place in Love.most distructive point to end love.

I don't love you anymore its not you its me please find someone else that will love you  back.


This whole discussion on gay marriage by the Christian community has been based on the theory that between two gay men or women cannot morally exist a loving union as strong as a "normal" family sustained in a father-mother structure. Some have even argued that gay marriage puts the ideal of the perfect family in jeopardy. I think that family is based in love and in healthy relationships between its members more than in a structure based on gender. Even when you look at statistics, it is obvious that children raised by gay parents are as healthy as any other children, so I don’t understand what is it that makes some Christians believe that same sex love invalidates marriage and family. So, why is it that some think that gay marriage will destroy family as we know it?

I agree with what you are saying. And I think some christians get hung up on certain scriptures about same sex relationships because they don't understand those scriptures in context. \n\nGood articles on that here:\nhttp://www.mccchurch.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Resources/SexualitySpirituality/Sexuality_Spirituali.htm\n\nFollow up: Do you see what I mean about all the people who don't understand those scriptures in context? Not one of them can be bothered with reading the articles and learning something new. It is a shame to see people so close minded.


Spanish-speaking people are lumped together as "Latino" even though they come from many different countries and have many different cultures? "Africans" all come from different countries and speak different languages, so do "Asians", but our society hardly makes any distinction between them. Not to be racist, but it's as if only white people are allowed to have an identity. Nobody confuses an Irishman with an Italian just because they are "European".

>>>>Not to be racist, but it's as if only white people are >>>>allowed to have an identity.\n\nThat's simply not true. \n\nHow many people do you know of who could explain the cultural differences between a Libyan and a Turk? To most Americans they are simply Arabs, white or not. Similarly how many people do you know of who could distinguish between a Boer and a white Kenyan based purely on cultural difference? Both are simply Africans. How many people do you think understand the difference between a Georgian and a Muscovite? How about a Berber and a Taureg? A Kurd and a Sikh? A Lapp and an Norwegian?\n\nYet those are all white people. Quite clearly this cultural ignorance has nothing whatsoever to with skin colur or race.\n\n\n>>>>>Nobody confuses an Irishman with an Italian just \n>>>>>because they are "European".\n\nThat is because America has huge numbers of Italian and Irish immigrants. Try the average American on groups from European areas that haven't emigrated to the US in large numbers. How many people wouldn't confuse a Dane and Norwegian as both being Scandinavian? Or a Frenchman and a Belgian? Or a Spaniard and a Portugese?\n\nFor perhaps the perfect example, even after 20 years of being a major public figure my experience tells me that well over 25% of Americans still don't understand that Arnold Schwarzenegger is not and never has been German. \n\nThe simple fact is that there are far to many cultures and ethnicities in the world to have even a cursory knowledge of them all, even those of us that are interested. We need to lump cultures somehow to get any sort of handle on what is out there. Sometimes that lumping is ridiculously broad, as with your examples of "Africans" and "Asians" but we still need to do that. And African is no more ludicrous as a grouping than “Russian”, and Russians are largely white.\n\nAs we become more and more interested in regions and people we narrow down those divsions. So most Americans can separate out Sicilians and Italians generally. Many now can also separate out Hmong and Vietnamese generally, which is a very fine scale split. \n\nBut the parts of the world we have no reasons to be interested in tend be populated in our minds by "Africans" and "Russians", even though those groupings are more or less meaningless.\n\nBut rest assured it has nothing to do with race. Americans are just as almost as ignorant or European cultural differences as Africans.\n\nBut just to make you fell a bit better, my experience has been that most Africans don't draw any real distinction between Americans and Canadians either. The USA and Canada are usually treated the same way Americans treat Austria and Germany. Everyone more or less knows they're separate countries, but the differences in language, culture and so forth are so small that they feel they can be ignored.\n\nLike I said, nothing to do with race.


I am trying to find websites for children on friendship. I am having trouble. Everything I type in gives me parent websites.


Two runners in a one-mile (1069m) race finish with times 3:42.46 min and 3:52.72 min. assuming that both run at their speeds during the entire time, what is the distance (in meters) that separates them at the end of the race?

the distance separated the runners is dx= v2.dt where v2 is thespeed of runner  2 such that v1= 1069/3:42.46 = (calculate it) ,v2=1069/3:52.72= (caculate it) the difference in time is 3:52.72-3:42.46=0:10.26mincalculte - then calculte the distance dx= v2.dt  subsitute you get the solution


I can imagine what all is going on out there...my,my! Did any of you watch the movie "Titanic"? You remember all the dancing and drinking and romancing that was going on as long as the ship was going good. But, you remember the chaos when the ship started going down?.... People, it seems to me this society, for the most part, are letting their minds and bodies go into total distruction !!

There is a lack of tolerance which scares me as noone is sheltered from giving birth to child who will then be discovered to be gay and if it's the case for my child I will love him as if he were hetero as it doesn't matter to me but what scares me is, will he be in security when he will walk in those streets of homophobes(the extremists ones) who will show him their disagreement either verbally or physically, I'm worried as we are going backward in the concept of tolerance, what TV shows as to everything is cool and accepted is totally different as to what is happening today, we have I think to sensiblilize younug ppl making them understand that even different ppl have the right to live, education is important in such issues.

each of his children.\n\n\nCAREFUL WITH YOUR ANSWERS, EVERY SENTENCE WITH SATAN(Bill Gates) in it is monitored and traced.

Bill Gates is placing his money in a trust fund (managed by his father), which is ultimately the most effective manner of donating money.  A trust fund is basically a big bank account which you don't own, managed by a third party, who then decides to spend on whatever is specified in the Charter of that fund (this is where the donor can specify any single place he/she would like the money to go).  Because trust funds are in the hands of an independent organization, they are far less likely to collapse after the death of their main benefactor.  Also, trust funds grow each year with added donations from other people.  This means that in giving his money to a trust fund (not into the US economy per say) Bill Gates is actually making the best use of his money for the greater good.

The Software Project Management is practical approach. But there is no scope for practical in the theory classes. Then my question is that how to teach the subject.

This is a very interesting subject and can be thought using a 5 point program where you outline the major steps of a project life cycle. Then dwell into each phase giving the most importance to project planning. Give practical exercises that involve developing a project plan for a hypothetical software project that involves schedule, budget and resource constraints. Ask students to put together a contingency plan and risk assessment. How are they going to assure the quality, make sure that customer requirements are met? ask them to develop work breakdown structures and task breakdown structures.

I have 2 properties. My house and a 3 unit apartment small complex. I want to know what I can do with the earned equity. I have no debt, I am very frugal. I am a professional, but still I live from paycheck to pay check. any advise? How can I take advantage of this situation?

As you have realised, your portfolio is very heavy on property.\n\nOne of the fundamentals of investment risk management is to diversify. When you are diversified when one investment type experiences a decline another might go up. \n\nIf you are carrying no debt on your 2 properties you are actually in a good position but might need to move things around. Are all of your properties currently rented? What is happening to the income from that?\n\nYou may want to consider buying some shares as an additional investment. They will provide you with a semi regular income and can be sold very quickly and in small parcels, unlike property. \n\nYou'll obviously need some money to purchase shares. Would you consider selling one of the units in your complex for this purpose? Or taking a loan against the units? \n\nAnother investment category it sounds like you should be strongly thinking of is cash. You should have a "rainy day" account that could keep you going for at least a couple of months.\n\nI would suggest you talk with a financial planner. Shop around for a decent one and understand what services they offer and how they get paid e.g. are they going to just flog product from one place. \n\nSounds like selling the unit block and converting the proceeds to a smaller block or less units and shares and cash may be a good idea.\n\nI am not an expert and don't know anything about your situation so it's hard to comment

If methane is a gas can it be used as bio-gas?Please do not give a wrong answer.

Burn it like you burn any other hydrocarbon.  All hydrocarbons are just compounds that fit the formula\n\nCnH(n+2)\n\nFor n=1, it's methane.  n=3 is propane (used for barbeques, mobile homes as a fule source, or for camping stoves).  n=4 is butane, used in cigarette lighters.  n=8 is octane, which is a major component of gasoline.\n\nMethane is commonly called natural gas, and is piped into houses for gas stoves and furnaces (at least it is here where I live).  Hydrocarbons combust with O2 to give carbon dioxide and water vapor.\n\nMethane could be developed by organisms in bioreactors, but since there are also great stores of it in the ground from decayed matter (methane is a fossil fuel and a constituent of oil, and often found near coal deposits) generally we mine it rather than making it because it's cheaper that way.  perhaps if all the methane in the ground were used up, it would become cost effective to produce it rather than just mine it.


I'm not catholic - just curious about a friend eating it.

The Catholic Church has no objection to Blood-pudding (or Black pudding as it is often refered to in the UK). Although it has now been replaced by more fashionable foods, black-pudding was once a common menu item in Catholic Schools across England (especially in the North of England).


Short term world missions changed my life! I will never ever forget the three weeks I spent in Thailand ministering to kids dying with AIDS and the Leper colony in Bangkok. So I wonder if any of you would share your own experiences. Where di ya go? What did ya do? and How did God work in your life.\nOne of the greatest things I realized that I was so proud and thought or had the pride full thinking that we Americans were going to bless those Thai children. It happened in  reverse. They totally blessed us. Oh the stories I have and my heart, wow was I forever changed!

I would love to do what you did someday!  When I hear your story I feel so selfish in my life.  I am raising 2 children and it is impossible for me to leave (right now) them to do something like what you have done. I do feel compelled to help others though.  Thank you for all you have done to help humanity. You will be rewarded with very good karma !\n\nPeace my friend

the movie totally rocked.\ncool fact: the director of the movie was the female star's husband... which i bet made the sex scene awkward... but she said on the Conan O'Brien show that it was not weird because the guy in the scene with her has become a very close friend to the family.... still weird though.

and why does Coke vended from a machine (at McDonald's, etc.) not foam up when poured over ice???

One word answer: agitation\n\ncoke and other drinks are "areated" with carbon dioxide under pressure. carbon dioxide does not like stay dissolved in water and bubbles out, causing the fizz effect in sodas.\n\nnow for the carbon dioxide to bubble out, it needs energy. this energy can be supplied by :\n\n* heat : this is the reason why warm coke is less fizzier than cold coke. the carbon dioxide has already bubbled out\n\n* agitation : shaking a bottle of cola, supplies the carbon dioxide enough energy to fizz out. so does pouring coca cola over ice. if you put ice in coke though, you are doing it gently. you would see a lot of fizzing of you threw you ice in with a lot of force \n\nwhen you vend onto ice at mcdonalds, the cola touches ice straight away and has energy taken away from it and hence fizzes less.\n\nhope that clears things up for you :)

I feel like someone has a voodoo doll of me and from time to time is poking me in the arm.  Usually it just happens once or twice then goes away.  Today however it has happened about a dozen times!

I always got yelled at whenever I asked a question.

okay, i have done this several times.  coaching girls is only frustrating if you take it seriously.  you need to take a fun approach at it.  dont be aggressive.  have fun and laugh about it.  \n\njust explain basic theory.  forward pass, runs, first downs and line of scrimmage.  so if you were to need to know the game i would start out like this...\n\nwhen you recieve the ball, you have four chances to get a first down or score.  if you get a first down you get another four downs or opportunities to score or progress.  you can gain yardage by a forward pass or a run.  typically on 4th down you have the opportunity to punt the ball in order to change position and give you the ability to play defense making it more challenging for the opposition to score.\n\ndefense is easy, pick a man and dont let them get more than 5 yards away.\n\nremember that it is a game.  too many people get too competitive for no good reason.

Im starting to crave all sorts of junk food which i dont want.  How can i keep myself from not doing it? Still got my weight to lose.

Try to eliminate all sugar to beat the sugar cravings.\nSomething I saw on Oprah which makes a lot of sense....\nYou need to be comfortable with that uncomfortable nagging feeling you get when you want to nibble.  That is when people sabotage their diet.  When you get that feeling, don't eat - that is when your body is losing weight.  \nI am trying to lose my pregnancy weight now too - I joined a gym with a daycare, and am trying to make better choices.  You can have snacks when you hit your goal weight. Your weight loss should motivate you to keep going, I love it when I fit into jeans I haven't worn in a while.  I lost 23 lbs and have 40 left to go.

listen, it's like this, people misunderstand other people everywhere and allways. there is nobody who will understand you completely and utterly, there are just some people who understand you more or less, worse or better.they try. but sometimes it's just impossible, because every personality is very complicated.\nthen about boyfriend. first option: if he doesn't believe you - it;s his problem, you'll have more guys in a day or two. second option - you really care about him and your relationships then go and talk to him. make him listen or just try to hug him.\ngood luck


After reading questions on here about Mormons lately, I've become aware that many people on this forum have different ideas about who Mormons are.  This can cause problems when we're all answering questions about them, but coming from different places.\n\nThis question, then, is intended to explore the diversity of beliefs and opinions out there about WHO MORMONS ARE.  It's well-known on this forum, I think, that I am a Mormon, so obviously I know who they are.  Instead, I'd like to know who you think they are.  I think it will be very educational for all of us to find out that there's such a diversity in people's understanding.\n\nBecause this question explores people's beliefs and not what the truth is or isn't, please don't criticize others if you feel they aren't well-informed.  Brief answers are probably the most appropriate.

The only thing I've heard is that they have many wives... :P


surgically altering ones body ( breast enhancement, nose job, liposuction) if the person is so incredibly unhappy with the area, that it is affecting his/her life in a tremendously negative way (we're talking about truly flat chested, way out of proportion noses, or extreme cellulite ?)

ineed a bf how should i get one higher than me in the popularity chain?

First i dont thnk you need a boy high on the "popular chain" but if you really want one just start talking tohim in halls, sit next to him in class and ask him questions like "what is the homework again?" or "when is class over" then when you become more friendly start hanging out with him outside classes, who knows maybe he'll ask you out first!

I had this private years ago who disobeyed a lawful order. I told him 3 times to do someting while we were in a truck. After the 3rd time I told him, he sucker punched me and was flailing me pretty good. I reached up, took the good old angle flashlight off of my LBE(it had one extra ring on it from an old flashlight) and hauled off and smacked that dude into next week with it. He got court marshaled,I got transfered out of that crappy unit that babied him to the point he thought he could get away with such things.He had a blsck eye for 2 months and a bad conduct discharge. THATS the best use of an angleheadflashlight I had.


My husband has been suffering from chronic pain for the past few years.  It can be very depressing to be around.  The pain has become a third person in our marriage.  He has taken antidepressants but they have sexual side efects. A lot of times I feel like he's mad at me but he isn't.  It's just the pain consuming his life.  The kids think he's always in a bad mood.  I asked him how he was this morning and he snapped at me asking "how does it look like I feel??"  \n\nI understand the "in sickness and in health" part, but at some point do I start to feel resentment for not being happy as well?\n\nI made a mistake and had an affair, but am in the process of ending that. He's just as miserable and depressed about the state of his life (no job, no $) as my husband is. Are all men this miserable?\n\nAny ideas on how to cope? I don't want to resent him later in life for taking all the happiness away.  I'm in my mid 30's and this has been going on for 4 years.

First of all, you have added to the complexities of your situation by cheating on your husband.  To bring that into the open will further damage his mental state... That is , the depression.  At this point, I would wait to confess, and focus on his current situation.  This may or may not be the best advice.  It just seems that telling him would not do much for the situation right now.\n\nChronic pain, is a difficult thing.  I have dealt with it, and I can speak from experience, it is easy to crawl into a shell so to speak..  \nThe answers are simple to discuss, but to do them is another story. And success rates vary.\nYou did not address the cause of his chronic pain.. but.\n\nFirst, he needs to start exercising to the level that is comfortable.\nSecond, he needs to eat a diet that will support healing.\nThird, with his doctor, he needs to find another therapy that does not effect the physical issues you describe.\n\nIf he is on pain medication such as Vicodin, or Oxycontin... His pain may be emotionally created to justify taking the pills.  Addiction is a strong opponent to change.\n\nHe has to make some decisions, and you have to support him by both suggestion and coping through this tough time.\n\nCounseling might help with the depression, and you might consider going with him.\n\nAgain, this is a long discussion, and is best handled by a professional, which he needs to enlist the help of.\n\nDon't let things ride.  Make him confront the problem and address the ideas of what can make his quality of life better, and hence yours.

I wore a shirt the other day that had a big blue 69 on the front. This one boy came up to me and said Do you even know what that means?So, what does it mean?

If a "boy" came up to you and asked you if you knew what it was, I think you should ask your mother or father - Yahoo! is not the best place to find an explanation.


I did an hour of cardio that made me sore.  I rested yesterday and want to workout today.  But I'm still a little sore.  Do I have to wait in order to not injure my muscles.

I wouldn't worry about a little soreness.  Go ahead and work out.  Sometimes the work out will flush the lactic acid from your muscles and you'll actually recover faster.


Cannot send e mail from yahoo on a friends computer. I can receive mail. It is not the server because I have used this computer many times before.. I need to know how to fix this problem HOW DO I GET HELP FROM YAHOO ?

he tells me things he dosent tell other people and hes heppy when im happy. when im happy that hes happy then hes happyer. when i tell him some of the things he does is hott then he just tells me more about it. then he tells me all the time im not ugly when i think im ugly. he cheers me up when im down. and hes happy when i cheer him up when hes down. i told him i think hes cute then he said thats awsome. then i feel happy. i tell him all the time hes not ugly that hes cute and that he needs to think the good things about him then hes all smiley and then so am i. so what do u all think? does he like me? or dosent he?

It seems so. To know you have to ask yourself is he trying to go out of his way to see you or talk to you. And remember body language like, is he still looking at you after your done talking. He's probably thinking the same so he's looking to see if your looking. Eye contact can say a lot.


I'm not paranoid or crazy.  I see things go by out of the corner of my eye and there's nothing there.

My husband recently bought me a treadmill. I begged him and begged him for one till he finally bought it, now that I do have I am not motivated in using it. I do jump on to it and right away I feel dizzy and want to get off but I force myself to stay on it for at least 20 minutes @ 3.6 mph & when I am done and get off of it I feel really I mean realy dizzy. I really do not feel motivated probablly cause I know that when I am done I will feel like that, my husband says I probably need vitamins. WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET MOTIVATED?

you shoult start slowly at first. nobody who has been sedentary for a long time can do 20 min right off the bat. You should start with 5 min and increase it as it  gets easier. I do not think you have a medical problem, i simply think you are overworking yourself. A very important thing before any exercise is to have a meal 3 hours before and consume water as you do it, to keep your muscles and cells hydrated. This will most probably fix your dizziness problem. If it does not, do go see your doctor.\n\nas for motivation, tell yourself you can do it, just how sexy you will be after a few months, put a tv in front of it, makes time fly by faster, or read a magazine as you use it. otherwise you are right, it's extremly boring hehe\n\ngood luck


muslims apreciate privacy and modesty.\n\na woman on the elevater yesterday  said to me "I wish I had one of those on cause of all the germs".\n\nThen when another woman got on she said to her " I waiting for her to say stick um up".\n\nI told her that was cute and soo original!\n\nWith that she said no more.

I think it's because people see you as "different". I assume you are an American, and I'm sure you know how Americans are to people to don't "conform" to the rest of the society at large.\nSome women are even jealous that you dare to dress differently yet adhere to your own values, like she thinks, "Who does this woman think she is? She thinks she's so precious?!" because she's conforming as she thinks its the only way, not strong enough to break out and actually follow what she might actually want to do (it could be even dressing as modestly as you do! You never know!).\n\nI'm a virgin. And when I'm asked by a few female aquaintances of mine once I just gave it to them straight and said I didn't have a boyfriend, never had one, and I have a fiance instead whom I've never dated but am engaged to!\nI saw this flash cross one of the girls' eyes and she went on this attack on me on how my fiance must be having sex behind my back and how I'm so stupid to not go out and 'have fun'.( have sex, meaning.)\nMy fiance is Muslim and I'm also reading up on the religion - not for his sake but for mine. I've always had been spiritual since young, searching for God, and I feel the time is near, to choose.\n\n\nI smiled at her when she said that because I knew she was jealous I didn't conform. I did what I wanted and believed in because I knew this was what I wanted, what I'm supposed to do. I believe my fiance is a virgin as well because he is a devout Muslim and he's never ever LOOKED at another girl with eyes of lust. In fact he's very shy around girls. \nI knew she was jealous that I felt my body and my virtue was precious. She was thinking, who does this girl think she is?! Does she think she is better than us?!\nNo, I don't think that. I think that I will go through great lengths to protect and follow what I believe in, even if it meant these people not being my friends again or leaving my fiance if he ever insisted or threatened me for sex before marriage. But thank God, he is a very patient, loving and respectful man.\nIf I ever converted to Islam (I know Muslims believe that everyone is Muslim by birth so if you convert it's actually termed as 'revert', but I'm not Muslim yet!) I'd be wearing what you wear as well, a Niqab.\nDon't be afraid or intimidated by other's jealousy or intimidation of you daring to be a non-conformist in your society to follow what you truly believe in! Because at the end it will be you who stands in the Day of Judgement and not them! If you do anything, let it be praying to God that they realise the virtue of modesty and religion and join you in your quest for religion!


ithink hes freaked out.. n prob doesnt liek me. should i try and make the move again by telllin him im interested

quit worring about the guys and focus on yourself. by your other posts i see u are obsessed with guys, health issues..etc.\n\nfor right now you need to focus on your health,self esteem ,and school.seeking answers from your peers or strangers is only going to confuse you because you do not tell the whole story.If you cannot talk to parents...talk to boys/girlstown national hotline.


There is this coworker who told me she dream on me, in a party where i was being rude and boosy and making gossip on her. \nI haven't even work with her, but just talk to her on the lunch time a couple of times, and given her a raid sometime.

Your best way is to be funny. Tell her that it is a premonitory dream and you are going to dominate the world. Or maybe make her think about a different topic, like "oh yes, and I dreamt about this hot actor" so that there is not much importance given.


I have this persistent cough from having the flu recently.  Now when I cough I have a lot of pain on my left side.  Is it possible to break a rib by coughing?

It might be possible in rare instances but much more likely to be a pulled muscle.  In either case there really is nothing much that can be done.  You can wrap an elastic bandage around the area & it may help a little, it won't completely stop the pain.  Time will take care of it.  I've had both more than once and have been told this by my doctor.


Should Hilary Clinton become the next US pres. why or why not?

Nay.\n\nBefore Bill Clinton was elected, Hillary "Clinton" portrayed herself as a "stand by my man" kind of woman. She wore long hair and appeared on TV shows wearing dresses and baking cookies. After Clinton was elected, she become Hillary "Rodham-Clinton", chopped off her hair and wore suits in favor of dresses. She misrepresented herself because she thought it would further Bill Clinton's career.\n\nAfter Clinton was elected, Bill Clinton appointed Hillary Clinton to the National Health Care Task Force. And the policies she came up and tried to push bordered on Communism. And this appointment despite the fact that not one American had ever voted for her for anything. Congress was not given the opportunity to confirm her to a position that had the potential to affect every American in world.\n\nHillary Clinton is universally hated by conservatives and Republicans alike. Among the Democrats, it is a split vote. Some Democrats cannot stand her. Some liberals cannot stand her. Some women cannot stand her. And those are her three main bases. With half the country (conservatives and Republicans) against her, she would have to have a solidified base amongst Democrats, liberals and women. And she does not have it.\n\nWatch Hillary Clinton. She is just like her husband and adjusts her positions based on opinion polls. I say, "No, thank you." I would rather have someone in office who has the strength of his convictions, who knows the difference between right and wrong and acts on it.


Does anyone write or type stories? Because I write stories about my life and in my past. Let me tell you last paragraph I wrote before I moved to live with real parents now because I couldn't live with my non-care parents. Before I was in the pool with non-care parents Dhanhi and Monishna but when I was at the deep pool I almost drowned since my mother didn't save me and I almost died since my father saved my life. At night, when my parents were going out for dinner, I would ask my father "Father can I go out with you?" My father shook his head "If I were you Florence I wouldn't ask my father to go because..." Then I have realize that my parents don't care about all the sudden I had a company, which it was my dog named Ellen. She cares about me and she takes me everywhere like her most favorite garden to see of the smell. When my parents got home, my father saw me crying on the steps, I ran to my room, I told my father he didn't care about me. So I moved to France with my parents.

How about a story of you and me getting together and doing our thing. you know what I m saying ;)


We've had three guesses of 1 min., 6 min.. and 8 min.. each day. Who's right, or even close?


For long-term peace and stability, is there anything you can think of that my cause humans to stop fighting and unite - possibly to solve a problem of some kind.

Watch "Independance Day" -\n\nBTW - If they ever do come like that, we are so going to lose. They don't have Norton... right.


If you address a letter to yourself and put the person you want to receive it as the sender and don't put postage on the envelope it will still get there.\n     Simple way to send free mail. The person at the other end has to pay for it though.

Hmmmmm.......\n\nWe have a newspaper column here called: "Ms. Cheap." \n\nI think you should submit that. It's just the kind of thing she loves. haha


It's valentines day! What are you going to do? run and hide or plan a romantic getaway?

IM going to Dinner with Some female friends and going home thats it. well maybe spend some time with a few of them afterwards. but idk.


I am writing my employee reviews and am trying to come up with creative ways to explain their performance

Honestly, dont get creative.  Tell them exactly what you think and dont beat around the bush.  The feedback that you give them needs to help both the employee and YOU as the employer.  Most feedback should be designed to tweek behaviour that will allow you to get more out of the employee.  Remember, they are there to help YOU.


The floors of my house aren't shored very well so I can't do alot of jumping around (makes my furniture shake violently) and yoga and pilates just aren't my thing (I know, I've tried). Any suggestions?

If you have the money I recommend getting Tony Little tapes.  There is a set that includes one for abs, legs and midsection and the last is total body.  They are very easy to do and there is a bar across the bottom of the screen that tell you when to stop depending where you are in your excercising routine.  For example amature, intermediate, and advanced.  I have these tapes and in just 15 to 30 minutes a day is all it takes.  In six months of using these tapes and watching what I have to eat I have lost over 50 pounds.  I have more stamina and the body sculpting is amazing.  This is lowest my weight has been for over 20 years.   All the exercises are low impact there is no jumping around and you feel energized instead of wore out like some exercise programs did for me.  I have lost 5 pants sizes and another thing you will want to do is start walking.  Start out with just a few blocks and if you have a friend or neighbor that is willing to go with you this makes it easier to continue with your commitment to get healthy.  Also buy a step counter most Americans get less than 2000 steps a day I average over 6000 steps and that is just on my job not counting what I do just for pleasure.  The walking also is a low impact exercise that will take the weight off.  If you use a walkman radio, please be aware of every thing around you.  A woman who is not alert is an easy target for an attack from a preditor.  Also get a good pair of shoes this is your most important piece of equipment you can buy.  A good pair of shoes protect your feet and has less impact on your spine.  Good Luck in your adcheivement for your goal weight.


a man who can not stay in there, more than five minutes, if it is the second round or the third,but has really really good erection, is he really a man??????

Try rephrasing next time. Got a headache trying to figgure out what you were asking. If he has a natural penis, he's a real man not surgically engineared. Otherwise it's to you to decide if he meets your needs. Don't cut on him for being who he is. Just move on if you're not satisfied. No reason to demasculate him here.


I don't want to start any wars here, I am genuinely interested. I'm not saying that this is ALWAYS true but I know a lot of people for whom it is. To me it seems that if you are pro-life that should include ALL life. If it is against God to kill one of his children through the termination of a pregnancy (an argument I hear often), why is it not against God to kill one of his children through execution? Shouldn't God be the one to judge & not us? Not being a religious person myself, I was just interested in the logic behind these beliefs, please don't yell at me!!

The baby has done nothing wrong.  It has not even had the chance to sense anything.  To cut that short is wrong.  I know there is a lot of pain in life, but there is also so much joy.  The innocent have the right to experience it and make choices.  And if you believe in pre destination, that aborted baby might grow up to cure AIDS, or something.\n\nThose on death row under sentence to die have made some horrible choices and choices have consequences.  (The Bible says,"You reap what you sow.")  Why should a person's life fall outside the jurisdiction of this principle?  In capital punishment, the victim had a choice made for them, society in an effort to legislate morality makes the decision to compensate for the loss of a life.\n\nThe difference is in the choices made.  Unborn have no say so in it.  The condemned made their choice.


Black: Michael/Walt, Rose, Mr. Eko\nAsian: Sayid, Jin/Sun\nLatino: Hurley, Ana-Lucia\nSouthern American: Sawyer\nBritish: Charlie\n\nAlso, what stereotypes are associated with Los Angelos, California?

Sawyer is very much a stereotypical Southern redneck. Michael did say once that Koreans don't like black people, so I guess that is a stereotype. I'm not sure about the rest of them, however. I see Eko as being African, which is very different from black American. Sayid doesn't fit the stereotype of a fanatical Arab. Charlie acts like I would expect any rock star to act, whether they were British or from somewhere else. I barely think of Hurley as Latino, except when they show his mom during the flashbacks.


its been 11 years since ive been in school and im finally decided to go back so i want to prepare myself b4 the fall where can i go that will teach me the math i need and give me problems to solve and stuff like that

I know you're probably feeling overwhelmed with algebra, but the best thing you can do is to spend some time with an online ALGEBRA tutorial.  The really good tutorials go through every single step to get to a solution, which will review the prealgebra concepts that might be rusty for you.  I'd recommend something that has a brief lesson format, with examples, then some practice problems to make sure you're doing it correctly.\n\nI teach algebra, and these are a few of my favorites.  If my kids can't understand it the way I'm saying it, I'll check these sites to be able to explain a concept in a different way:\n\nhttp://www.PurpleMath.com is probably the best Algebra site out there.  \nMath Courses Online has some demo lessons at http://www.mathcourses.com/demos.html\nMath.com's pre-algebra section http://www.math.com/homeworkhelp/PreAlgebra.html has Examples, lessons and practice problems\n\nThe previous answerer mentioned Dr. Math which is also a favorite of mine.

IF YOU DIDN'T WANT IT, YOU'D HAVE LEFT HIM ALONE.


I know it sounds silly but will the round even go off w/o Oxygen? You think the astronaut would go in the opposite direction at the same velocity?

I must bebunk the answerers who think the bullet will be travelling faster without the absence of gravity - the answer is yes and no - yes if compared to a bullet fired vertically on earth or at any angle, no if compared to bullet fired horizontal to the ground on earth.\n\nIf bullet is shot horizontally here on earth, and then shot in space, both bullets will travel at the same speed. The bullet travelling horizontally on earth will have gravity only affect its vertical movement, hence it will be pulled faster and faster towards the ground, but its horizontal velocity will stay the same.\n\nStraightdope has covered this in an article:


If they asked you to donate, $10 for every person in your household, would you donate?

It depends what the donation is for and how much you want to donate.  People can tell you a specific amount, but it's generally up to you if you want to do a one time payment or a monthly payment.

Torture is not a realiable way to acqire information.  Under torture, a person will confess to anything almost. Think of the Stalin "show trials" of the 1930s.  At this time the US is not any better.

Torture is never ok.  Numerous treaties have been signed to this effect.  Where this becomes a grey area is the recent trend of "redefining" words in politics.  Arguably this was started with Clinton arguing semantics when on trial during his presidency (amazing when you consider what he was accused of vs. what is currently happening in government), but this has been taken to new levels by current politicians.  Bills are routinely given names that are opposite to thier effects, and as for torture - they made a point to redefine that to just permanent debilitating injury.  No mention of psychological or even temporary debilitating injuries.  I believe the final wording stated the definition of torture would be defined in a classified military document (that can be changed).\n\nConsider also that Cheney actively campaigned for not cutting off the option of torture up until the newest law was signed.  The UN is still not allowed to see prisoners at our Guantanimo Bay camp (where many are still held without charges for years).  And, Bush has refused to sign the war crimes treaty that would allow the UN to investigate torture / mass murders / genocides committed by Americans.\n\nDoes torture still happen?  With some of the games that are played with this issue one can only wonder.


could there already be warrant for my arrest?

it depends if the DA has decided to press charges.  If so..then yes.  If not, I am assuming this is why you were released.


When peace will come in this universe and there's no war?

I am a teen and everyone around me is talking about dating, kissing, ***, being cool, and looks. I'm dateless for everything and never made pysical contact. No one shows intrest in me either. I welcome all advice.

please dont reject this advice. Talk to your parents and mabye a favorite teacher. I can understand if you maybe don't get along with your parents. I didn't get along with mine when I was first getting interested in boys. I did have a favorite teacher that I probably could have talked with about things. \n\nI felt so much like a misfit in school. I worked in the office and one of the other students in there started talking to me about books I was reading. We went out for a little while \n\nI have learned that I am my own best company. Have a good spirit and find things to do where you are enjoying yourself. Other people are attracted to fun people. Join a club, talk to lots of people and smile. \n\nLearn what you think are your values and what you want to have in a boyfriend. It's much easier to find something if you know what it will be like when you see it. \n\nI hope this helped.

Who pays for it, is there a way I can just go in and get tested with anyone but myself and the clinic? I am under 18, so, to get tested do I need a parent basically? To be more frank, how much does it cost and can I do it privately? I'm a 17 YO Male.

You can apply for Conscientious Objector status, although this could take years. You may also request a separation if your family or dependents are suffering severe financial, physical, or psychological problems. A few examples are: death of or divorce from your spouse, leaving you the sole parent of a child; disability or death of a parent, leaving others dependent on you for support; or, a long-term physical or mental illness of your spouse which requires your presence at home. There are many other possibilities.

If you boil plain old raw, button mushrooms in a pot for an hour the liquid you end up with is only very slightly colored and has a very slight mushroom taste to it. But, if you boil sun dried or dehydrated button mushrooms in a pot for a hour the liquid you end up with is deep brown to almost black and has an INTENSE mushroom flavor. Why? What is it about the drying or dehydrating process that changes the cooking properties so dramatically?

Many mushrooms can be identified one from another based on some often dramatic color changes that will take place once picked, handled, and of course, dried. The tendency of many species to oxidize merely by handling them is often so dramatic (white to wine red to blue, dark purple almost black...all in one species alone over the course of an half-hour perhaps) that one is surprised at the amount of color change despite it not having  been treated with an actual reagent. Anyhow, why I'm telling you this is that to me at least, this characteristic suggests that many mushrooms upon drying may well undergo chemical changes significant enough to affect the taste. As you point out, there are any number of fungi that are known to be better after drying. Morels (Morchella sps.) are a good example of a commonly eaten fungus where this applies. Or, on the other hand, many must be used while still fresh or else will lose their flavour. Here, truffles (Tuber, other genera) being a notable fungus where freshness is a must. White Matsutake (Tricholoma magnivelare) mushrooms picked here in the Pacific Northwest are all destined for Japanese markets, and they must be there within 72 hours, right from their picking in the forests of BC to the shelves in Japan. Again, freshness is a  must, or at least if they want to still have any decent retail value left once there. \nOf course there may be just the simple matter of the fact that while an Agaricus (store mushroom) dries, it is still producing millions of spores. Agaricus spores are all deep, dark chocolate brown. Meadow Mushrooms(Agaricus campestris) are a close relative of the supermarket button mushroom. They both have pink gills when still young, but the older it gets, the darker brown the gills get as they are covered over with millions of spores. These spores will stay attached to the dried gills where they were produced. Once dried, the spore covered gills will shatter very easily (gills are very, very thin). Once this is all thrown into a watery broth, it's likely you will get much of the color your describing here. In fact, try it with a pale or white-spored species of mushroom sometime and see if the color remains pale.  If so, you've got it. If not, my first idea is about the best I can possibly even conceive of (and, as an accredited mycophile, I know mushrooms very, very well <g>)


Mt Everest weighs?  And how many square miles would be opened up if it like just disappeared?

547 million square feet. Going with our height of 11,500 feet from Base Camp to summit, we can peg the volume at 2.1 trillion cubic feet. Multiply that by the density and eureka! Everest tips the scale at a honking 357 trillion pounds. And then there's the snow and ice.

prenatal diagnosis using molecular biology methods?

Hemoglobin electrophoresis is the best method, but it requires fetal blood. If you and your baby's father are both B-Thal minor, then there is a problem. Otherwise, the Dr will probably choose to do the test at delivery.


I think Superman is the leader of the Justice League, but when did that happen, who votes him. Can anyone tell me

Usually the members of the JL votes in the leader.  And the majority of the time, Supes got voted in by the supporting cast.\n\nAnd ironically enough, Stan Lee would NOT have any comment on whether Supes would lead or perhaps Batman, or the Martian Manhunter, though those two would be excellent leaders too.  Stan Lee is the president of Marvel, not DC!\n\nI think the JLA operates much like the X-men do - several field leaders in case one of them is knocked out or otherwise occupied.  Hence why Batman seems to have quite the voice among the lot, as do J'onn.


I'm in school for surgical tech, but I need help with an assignment, and I can't find a good website, that can help with some questions that I have.  I tried lots of them!

For anatomy:\nhttp://www.innerbody.com/htm/body.html\nhttp://www.mic.ki.se/Anatomy.html\n\nFor physiology:\nhttp://physiologyonline.physiology.org\nhttp://www.mfi.ku.dk/ppaulev/content.htm\nhttp://www.mhhe.com/biosci/ap/foxhumphys/student/olc/\n\nI could be more helpful if you were more specific, because anatomy and physiology, especially physiology is too much to be contained in a website, not even in huge text books (I have two more-than-a-tousand-page text books on physiology and sometimes I dont find the information I want).\n\nMy suggestion is that if these websites weren't any helpful, then post the questions and i may be able to answer some of them.\nGood luck.


I have had a negative preganancy test but my abdomen is growing and I feel pregnant.

not sure about your actual question, but if your abdomen is growing and you feel pregnant, then you should go see a doctor and they should be able to tell you if you are pregnant or not and that will answer your question...


George W. Bush not the first Bush, the one in office right now.

How many other candidates would have taken us to war by waging a deceptive and false information campaign. Once in the war, who else would reject the expert advise of the state department and many in the military, and fail to secure the country?\nWho else would continually reward the wealthy and help to increase the discrepancy between rich and poor?\nWho else would turn a surplus into one of the biggest deficits in history?\nWho else could so systematically reward cronies by putting them into important positions for which they have no training?\nWho else could so blatantly work to decrease our constitutional guaranties in order to strengthen the power of the presidency?\nWho else could show such contempt for the public's right to know that he almost never faces anyone critical of his policies, or subjects his ideological decisions to a free discussion of ideas?\nI honestly cannot conceive of any other candidate able to do so much harm in so little time.

Answer plz. Im a virgin...i think and hope...but i just want to make sure.

the only way to loose your virginity is to have sexual intercourse with a man.\neven if your hymen is torn from using a tampon, masterbating or anything else, you're still a virgin untill u have intercourse.


The Bush administration continues to ostracise GLBT people and laws are being passed in states all over the US that discriminate against gays/lesbians or atleast refuse them certain rights that their heterosexual counterparts have.\nWhats the problem with (unrelated) consenting adults making their own minds up as to who they love and want to be with and why do so many straight people have a problem with it?

*Shrugging my furry shoulders* Humans fear the unfamiliar...\nFear triggers a fight or flight instict and in this case that fear triggered fight instinct has led to irrational blindness of actual reality.\nNowhere is this blindness seen in greater concentration than in the groups that sadly are filled with a lot of people who would prefer to believe in text, written during the dark ages, when the world was thought of as flat; than to think for themselves and use their hearts and minds to decide what is right and wrong.\n\nThey are just lazy I guess or sadly far far from in touch with the true path...

what's it like to serve time in a texas prision

Not fun...Texas is one of the harsher states in which to do time... you cannot have visits from anyone except immediate family, one phone call per month max is allowed, for most it is one call every 90 days, if calls are permitted at all, mail is heavily censored, the food is some of the worst in the nation (to the point that every few years the Federal courts step in to make them follow the law regarding food) and they have little in the way of educational or rehabilitative programs, so you're really just doing time, not improving your odds of staying out of trouble after release.\nI do not recommend serving a sentence in the lone star state.


Ecotourism essentially means ecological tourism, where ecological has both environmental and social connotations. It is defined both as a concept-tourism movement and as a tourism sector. Born in its current form in the late 1980s, Ecotourism came of age in 2002, when the United Nations celebrated the "International Year of Ecotourism". The International Ecotourism Society defines ecotourism as "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people". However, this is a vibrant, new movement and there are various definitions.\n\nEco-tourism focuses on local cultures, wilderness adventures, volunteering, personal growth and learning new ways to live on our vulnerable planet. It is typically defined as travel to destinations where the flora, fauna, and cultural heritage are the primary attractions. Responsible ecotourism includes programs that minimize the adverse effects of traditional tourism on the natural environment, and enhance the cultural integrity of local people. Therefore, in addition to evaluating environmental and cultural factors, initiatives by hospitality providers to promote recycling, energy efficiency, water re-use, and the creation of economic opportunities for local communities are an integral part of ecotourism.

Binomial (or binary) logistic regression is a form of regression which is used when the dependent is a dichotomy and the independents are of any type. Multinomial logistic regression exists to handle the case of dependents with more classes than two. When multiple classes of the dependent variable can be ranked, then ordinal logistic regression is preferred to multinomial logistic regression. Continuous variables are not used as dependents in logistic regression. Unlike logit regression, there can be only one dependent variable. \n\nDoes this answer it?
