O'k my dad is in the army and my mom passed away. My dad told me to give my lil bro the talk but like i have no CLUE! what to c pple.(live with my grandparents)Hes 10 and am 16.i want he to be like open to me but i dnt now what to talk bout. and if my grandpa gave him the talk thn my bro would really shy bcus he really doesnt like him.

Oh boy! You have a big task for yourself.  First of all, your dad should be the one to talk to him, but if he still refuses... then you need to make sure you have the facts correct before you go reporting them to your brother.  Check the library.. there are awesome books on this subject.  Call the library ahead of time, pretend that you are a mother who is wanting to get some books to help you discuss this with your 10 yr old son.  The library worker can (if you ask her) pull some books out for you and hold them.  Then, when you get to the library, don't be embarrassed.  She'll either realize they are for your brother (if he goes with you to the library), OR she'll think they are for you.  Either way, she isn't gonna make a big production of it.  Before you go to the library (or even on the way there) tell your brother that you have something very important to talk with him about, and that it might be embarrassing and hard for both of you to discuss.  Tell him to just bear with you, listen, learn..and then when you leave the library, go get ice cream or something with him.  Be SURE to tell him that if he ever has any questions or problems about this issue, that he can come to you at any time.  Also, make sure that he knows he can ask Dad or consult the library, or even a counselor at school.  Good look, honey.. I know thats a tough one!!


How do you find your grade point average with a calculator???

To find your grade point average use the scale below.\n\nA = 4\nB = 3\nC = 2\nD = 1\nF = 0\n\nTotal the number of your grades.  For example if you have 3 C's, a B, and an A.  Add 2+2+2 (the three C's), add 3 (for the B), and add 4 (for the A).  That total is 13.\n\nNow take your total and divide by the number of grades that you added.  For example I will divide by 5 because I have 3 C's,  1 B, and an A.  That equals 5 grades.\n\nNow I will divide 13 by 5 to get my grade point average of 2.6.\n\nGood Luck!


The spam could range from innocuous ones such as advertising one's blog to the world to phishing spams.

Here are some suggestions:\n\n1/ Spelling tests would be useful. If you cannot spell, you cannot post a question!\n2/ Greater monitoring from the staff to delete all silly questions.\n3/ Creation of a search robot that would prevent people from asking questions that have already been asked.\n4/ The possibility to re-open a question when a certain number of users find the answers are not adequate, and after review from the Yahoo! team.\n5/ Minus points when someone is abusing the system or posting inappropriate questions or answers.

Well i was wondering if I could start back up with hockey if i haven't played since i was 15 and im now 19

Absolutely not.  I'm 23, and still want to get back into it.  If only I could find others around here with blades and some interest... :(


I assume the answer is no. I bave had a serious allergy to fish and seafood since babyhood. But I know there are real advantages to eating fish or taking fish oil supplements to get the Omega-3 fatty acids. I don't think flaxseed oil quite cuts the mustard. What do you think? If I swallow some fish oil pills, will I be very sorry?

I would say you should try COD LIVER oil that is molecularly distilled and see if you have a reaction.  If it is fine for you then try www.icelandichealth.com\n\nYou are right that it is very important since we are not eating wild and grass fed animals that our bodies developed on and need.


hey do you know anything about china if you do please help me!

Chinas a country in the Eastern Hemisphere, lot's of history, really big country, lot's of people. \n\nBe more specific with your questions


for what reason hindi was made as national language of india?\nas far my knowledge , it is not superior than sanskrit or tamil....\n\nthese two are the two classical languages of india

how did you come to the conclusion that Sanskrit and Tamil are superior and hindi.\n\nAll indian languages are equal none are superior and none are inferior.For that matter all languages spoken in the world.\n\nHindi was rightfully elected as the national languages through a democratic vote.Many contenders were hindi, tamil, telaguect.Hindi just got more votes.Thus it is the national language.

what are the skills that I need to acquire?

There are two ways you can easily experience skydiving. \n1. With less than one hour of basic training and orientation, you can enjoy a tandem jump (attached to an experienced instructor who will ensure your safety on the jump). Depending on the location of and the height from which you jump, this option generally costs between $100-200 and takes a couple hours total. \n\n2. If you would rather jump solo, you'll need to take a certification class to be ready. You'll learn about equipment, aircraft, freefall, parachute operations, and landing in order to be ready. Many of these classes can be completed with one full day (6-8 hour) training courses. Different packages are likely available in any skydive center, but the package for training/first jump should be approximately $300.

For example, should a Congressman from a very red state vote for a Constitutional Amendment to define marriage as between a man and a woman, even though he feels that this is unjust, unfair, and not in the long term good for the country?

Well, it is my opinion that a congressman should vote in a constitutional manner, not a personal one. However, one's personal opinions often determine the manner in which they interpret the constitution. \n\nI figure that the people vote for the candidate with whom they agree on most issues, thus the elected official holds the same ideals as his constituents.


If someone is going out with a marriad man should that other women tell the other women her husband is cheating on her?

To rub her nose in it?\nThe wife might know.  The girlfriend might do better to drop the guy and keep her mouth shut.  After all she is the one who will be labelled home breaker or sl*ut.


My iPod is quite old now; but after being fully charged, sometimes it lasts 2-3 albums, yet others it will only last around 5 or 6 tracks.\n\nWhy is this?

It seems to me that our ipods and my cell phone share the same problem.  I believe that the ipod battery varies so much due to the same reason as my cell phone battery.  The person from verizon told me that if a cell phone battery is charged for too long, the charger actually drains the battery of it's total lifespan.  So yeah, that's my answer.  Otherwise, you may just have a faulty ipod?

Is it a card installed inside my computer? If it is and I dont have one can I install it?\nOr is it just a ethernet connection port? Like a USB port?

An ethernet card provides a connection from your computer to an ethernet hub, router or a cable modem. The connection usually looks like a telephone jack (but wider). It is the same as an ethernet connection port (usually built into most newer computers and laptops). It is not the same as a USB port. Ethernet ports are connected using eithernet patch cords, often called CAT-5 cables.\n\nEthernet cards are cheap and easy to install.


islam is a peaceful religion in the world

Do you painkillers such as Panadol have any side effects?

Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.\n\nCheck with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:\n\nRare\n\nYellow eyes or skin\n\nSymptoms of overdose\n\nDiarrhea; increased sweating; loss of appetite; nausea or vomiting; stomach cramps or pain; swelling, pain, or tenderness in the upper abdomen or stomach area\n\nAlso, check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:\n\nRare\n\nBloody or black, tarry stools; bloody or cloudy urine; fever with or without chills (not present before treatment and not caused by the condition being treated); pain in lower back and/or side (severe and/or sharp); pinpoint red spots on skin; skin rash, hives, or itching; sores, ulcers, or white spots on lips or in mouth; sore throat (not present before treatment and not caused by the condition being treated); sudden decrease in amount of urine; unusual bleeding or bruising; unusual tiredness or weakness\n\nOther side effects not listed above may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your doctor.


over crying baby. always wants to sleep alone in her bed..by the age of 3 sensitive and drew a picure of herself sitting under a tree by herself crying and other kids playing in the playground.very shy.. \ndoesnt socialize..very overly sensitive hmmm i just dont understand any answers..or anybudy with the same situation??

At such a young age it is not the norm to isolate from all people, including family. It could be a form of attachment disorder, and it could be the blossoming of other disorders. A child that exibits such behaviors needs to be assessed for many things. A good child psychiatrist and therapist can test for autism spectrum disorders, but if the child has good verbal skills, that is unlikely. They can also be assessed for attachement disorders, and other types of disorders. Find a good children's center or hospital in your area.

What does the crystal structure do the incident light?

Water and ice are transparent and light passes through without any portions of the visible spectrum being absorbed or reflected. On the other hand, most of the visible (white) light striking a snowy surface is reflected back by the countless tiny surfaces of the snow crystals giving snow its white appearance.\n\nOne can think of the ice or snow layer as a filter. If it is only about a centimeter thick, all the light makes it through and it is seen as white, but if it is a meter or more thick, mostly blue light makes it through. More red light is absorbed compared to blue. Not much more, but enough that over a considerable distance, say a meter or more, the light emerging from the snow layer tends to be made up of more blue than red light. Poking a hole in the snow and looking down into the hole you can see blue light or the blue color associated with the depths of crevasses in glaciers. In each case the blue light is the product of a relatively long travel path through the snow or ice.

Sure, there's some basic elements that seem to be the same, but what "serious" changes have been made for the TV series that aren't in the comics (or come "later" in the comic continuity)?

Well, Lana being a witch's ancestor as well as the ancestor (Annabell) herself for one, another would be Lex being Clark's friend, then Pete being black, a lot of the villains are new, and meeting Lois Lane in highschool like that... Naked I might add... Then it depends on what continuity... I think Superman was originaly a bit of an anarchist and an ***...\n\nSo it's pretty different...

I'm living w/ a friend right now and deciding between going back to the college dorms next semester, or getting an apartment. Which should I pick? (Having a roomate was a nightmare, i'll definately get an apartment on my own if I don't live in the dorms. At least I know that I have rent money.

Apartment!! The dorms on campus are overcharging for your stay! It is convient to live on campus of course, but nto worth the extra money you will be spending to live there. An example, I lived on campus and piad $560 a month, and then I got a 1 bedroom apartment for $520 a month (and split it with my BF). Now, that is only a little cheaper, but every penny counts when you're in college.\n\nNot to mention the restrictions when you live on campus! I got a $20 fee for just having a candle out!


Why I want to participate in the AHEC summer program.\n\nMy name is **** ****.  I am a 15-year-old sophomore at Natchitoches Central High School.  When I graduate I have aspirations to become a child health care nurse.  I intend to attend Northwestern State University.  Others would describe me as considerate, friendly, time oriented, and hygienic.  I love to help people and I believe I would be a great candidate for the AHEC program.  \n      By taking part in this summer program I will be able to reap many benefits that will affect my work, education, and personal life. I will be able to gain valuable work experience that will bring me closer to my goal of becoming a child health care nurse.  Working with others in this program will also give me a chance to work as a group and learn many things about the health care field that most people don’t get a chance to experience until after they receive their degrees.  If I were allowed to participate in the AHEC program and be able to work

What a dumb question. What you are talking about refers to a behaviour. To me, people are, well, people. I refuse to label people based on a behaviour especially one that belongs in the privacy of ones own bedroom. This is what's wrong with society these days. People are so eager to label others as an excuse to hate.


I know VRML is Virtual reality modelling language. It will really helpful for me if anyone tell me any good link for it.

VRML\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.\n\n\nVRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language, usually pronounced vermal) is a standard file format for representing 3-dimensional (3D) interactive vector graphics, designed particularly with the World Wide Web in mind.\n\nFormat\n\nVRML is a text file format where, e.g., vertices and edges for a 3D polygon can be specified along with the surface color, image-mapped textures, shininess, transparency, and so on. URLs can be associated with graphical components so that a web browser might fetch a web-page or a new VRML file from the Internet when the user clicks on the specific graphical component. Animations, sounds, lighting, and other aspects of the virtual world can interact with the user or may be triggered by external events such as timers. A special Script Node allows to add program code (e.g., written in Java or JavaScript (ECMAScript)) to a VRML file.\n\nVRML files are commonly called worlds and have the .wrl extension (for example island.wrl). Although VRML worlds use a text format they may often be compressed using gzip so that they transfer over the internet more quickly. Most 3D modeling programs can save objects and scenes in VRML format.\n[edit]\n\nStandardization\n\nThe Web3D Consortium has been formed to further the collective development of the format.\n\nThe first version of VRML was specified in November 1994. This version was specified from, and very closely resembled, the Application Programming Interface and file format of the Open Inventor software component, originally developed by SGI. The current and functionally complete version is VRML97 (ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997). VRML has now been superseded by X3D (ISO/IEC 19775-1).\n[edit]\n\nEmergence, popularity, decline and rebirth\n\nThe term VRML was coined by Dave Raggett in a paper submitted to The First International Conference on the World-Wide Web in 1994, and first discussed at the WWW94 VRML BOF established by Tim Berners-Lee, where Mark Pesce presented the Labyrinth demo he developed with Tony Parisi & Peter Kennard.\n\nVRML reached the height of its popularity after the release of VRML2 in 1997, when it was used on some personal homepages and sites such as CyberTown, which offered 3D chats. The format had been championed by SGI's Cosmo Software; when SGI restructured in 1998 the division was sold to Platinum Technologies, which was then taken over by Computer Associates, which did not develop or distribute the software. To fill the void a variety of short-lived proprietary Web 3D formats emerged over the next few years, including Microsoft Chrome, Adobe Atmosphere and Shockwave 3D, none of which are supported today. VRML's capabilities remained largely the same while realtime 3D graphics kept improving. The VRML Consortium changed its name to the Web3D Consortium, and began work on the successor to VRML - X3D.\n\nWhile VRML is still occasionally used, particularly in education and research where an open specification is most valued, it has now been superseded by X3D. The MPEG-4 Interactive Profile (ISO/IEC 14496) was based on VRML (now on X3D), and X3D is largely back-compatible with it. VRML is also still used as a file format for interchange of 3D models, particularly from CAD systems.


Just wondered what the medical name was for boogers?

The official medical term for boogers is "congealed mucous" or "mucous deposits in the nasal cavity".


Do I need to get tested?\n\nThe aneurysm is reportedly on the carotid artery near the Circle of Willis.

The research that has been done does not clearly state whether aneurysms are genetic or not.  Patrick Walsh, MD, PhD, Professor of Neurosurgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin, said that he is frequently asked if aneurysms are hereditary, but the answer is not really known. Because the incidence of aneurysm is fairly high in the general population (about 3% as found on autopsy), you could expect to see a couple of people in a large extended family with them, just by the odds. In some families there may be a genetic link.


condoms or sex after marriage - which is producing the best results in fighting AIDS?

This is a pretty loaded question.  Regardless of what you teach, people can contract HIV.  In fact, the numbers in Africa are increasing among married women, who get it from their husbands who sleep with other women.  The same is common in India, where husband truck drivers contract HIV from prostitutes while waiting at truck stops (for days at a time in some places, like on the Bangladeshi border).\n\nCondoms are the most effective way (other than not having sex at all--whether single or married) to deal with HIV.  When you teach people to practice safe sex, you're gearing them with an important safety measure they'll carry with them for the rest of their lives.  Another way to fight AIDS is to try to deal with the devastating poverty that leads to the horrendous economic situations causing women to turn to prostitution, and desparation that causes the population to engage in risky behavior (as is the case in Russia, where HIV increased dramatically after the fall of communism and the collapse of the Soviet economy--widespread desperation led to a huge increase in recreational drug use--along with the unsafe practice of sharing needles).\n\nThe problem is alot more complicated than premarital sex, which, if practiced safely (condom, birth control, and STD testing), most often does not result in HIV, pregnancy, or other STDs for that matter.


In most bowl games, the pay received by each team barely covers the cost of flying to the bowl destination and in some cases it does not, expecially in a situation where a team has to travel from one coast to another (as was the case with Georgia Tech flying to San Fransisco to receive a bowl payout of only $750,000).  Most Division I-A conferences require their bowl teams to split the money with the rest of the conference teams.  Go in the case of GT, divide $750,000 by 12 teams.

Determine where the function is continuous: \nf(x)=x+[|x^2|]- [|x|]\n \n(2)Use the Squeeze Law of Limits to find the limit: \nlim x^2 sin^2(10x)\nx->0

For all real numbers, f(x) is the sum of two continuous components (as x^2 is always non-negative) and one component discontinuous at 0. Therefore the function is only discontinuous at x=0. For x>0, f(x)=x^2; for x<0, f(x)=x^2-2x.\n\nBoth x^2 and sin(x) (as well as sin^2(10x)) equal zero when x=0 and are continuous across all reals. Therefore no Squeeze Law is necessary. This expression evaluates to 0.

Did an "intelligent being" create them? How did they get the round shape?

Planets form from the same dust cloud that forms a star.\n\nPlanets are round because rock is not strong enough to hold its shape under its own weight.  \n\nIntelligent design is a variety of the pseudoscience of creationism, which was created by Christian fundamentalists.\n\nThe Christian doctrine of creation, as understood by mainstream Christians, teaches that God created and sustains the universe. It does not specify whether the original creation was accomplished by divine creation (creation ex nihlo), the Big Bang, or by another means.\n\nFundamentalists believe that the Bible is inerrantly and infallibly true. They fear that if any aspect of the Bible is not "literally true" (that it doesn't mean what they interpret it to mean), then the salvation promised by Jesus was a lie.\n\nThis extreme belief, coupled with general knowledge of science, has led fundamentalists to create a set of beliefs to rationalize their interpretation of the Bible with their knowledge of science. That set of pseudoscientific beliefs has evolved from creationism to scientific creationism, to intelligent design.\n\nBy far, the large majority of Christians believe in the spiritual truths revealed in the Bible, including Jesus' promise of salvation, even though they believe that the Bible contains factual errors, such as referring to the "four corners" of the earth.  \n\nThus, by a wide margin, most Christians believe in the doctrine of creation, but do not believe in the pseudoscience of creationism, whatever name it goes by.

Mask\nFins\nTorch\nWetsuit\nRegulator\nOther gadgets worth mentioning?

A mask is all about the fit.  A perfect fit (strap not too tight, no water leaks -- pereferable even when you laugh or grin) is the only real criteria.  Any mask sold by a reputable shop would fit the bill.\n\nFins -- you need to decide between full foot and open heel.  My preference is open heel (more versatile -- especially for shore diving) although some prefer the full foot.  Fit is also hugely important and if you are shore diving in cold water buy your booties first.  My preference is the Apollo bio fins although there are many excellent choices out there.\n\nIn terms of torch, I think that depends on your application.  I like the Ikelite PCA, the UK SL4 and the small UK pocket light.  These would work for tropical night diving.  Anything brighter will overpower the reef.\n\nFor cold water or cave, you probably need to amp up the power a tad bit and I would look at the more heavy duty rechargeables (including canister lights).\n\nI remain a fan of the Suunto Cobra dive computer but there are *many* other great options.  Start with gas type (nitrox or air only), integration (not air integrated, hose air integaration and hoseless air integration), features and budget and go from there.\n\nTons of choices with regualtors -- start with your budget and diving environement.  I really like the scubapros but there are *many* great choices.  Rodale's Scuba Diving does do periodic gear reviews that are worth a look.\n\nWetsuit is alll about two things:  a) correct thickness for the water temp and your cold tolerance; and b) fit.\n\nWhat about a bc?

We all know famous people.  But how can you tell if a person is famous vs. a person who is not famous?  Is it the number of people who recognize their name (or face)?\n\nDoes it have to be 10% of the population?  10,000 people?  what?

It is a individual decision on famous.  You might be happy to be famous in your neighborhood.  Someone else want to be Brad Pitt.  Another wants to be J Lo.  Famous is just anyone that is recognizable by others.  It could be a few people to millions of people.


So much of them around the world. How could all of them die in one sweep?

Why did all of the remaining dinosaurs die out suddenly at the end of the Cretaceous period? There is a short answer and a long answer to this question.\n \n2     Here is the short answer. No one knows for sure.\n \n3     Here is the long answer. There are a number of theories. Some are scientific, and some are ridiculous. Most scientists believe in one or two main ones, but no one knows for sure.\n \n4     The reason no one knows for sure is because the whole thing happened about 65 million years ago. No one was around to see or hear what was going on back then, and no one was around to keep records.\n \n5     What we do know comes mainly from fossil records. Scientists study the fossils themselves, and they study the rock in which the fossils are found. Fossil records haven't given us definite proof for any one theory. This is because there are some problems with fossil records. For one thing, most fossil evidence of dinosaurs has been found in North America. We don't know as much about dinosaur activity on other parts of the earth. Another problem is that it is very hard to date fossils. Dating fossils means determining how old they are.\n \n6     One really interesting thing about the big dinosaur question is that scientists from many different fields are working to solve the problem. Astronomers, physicists, geologists, paleontologists, ecologists, chemists, geologists and others are all gathering evidence, experimenting, and researching to try to solve the puzzle.\n \n7     The most popular theory is called the Alvarez Hypothesis. This hypothesis says that, 65 million years ago, a big asteroid hit the earth. This asteroid crash scattered dust high up into the atmosphere. It blocked much of the sunlight and caused the earth to become cooler. The crash also started huge fires, high winds, and violent storms that killed some of the dinosaurs. The lack of sunlight and warmth caused many plants to die. This shortage of plants for food caused the rest of the dinosaurs to die out.\n \n8     The second most popular theory says that activity on the earth itself caused the extinction. As the supercontinent of Pangaea was breaking up, movement of the earth's giant land plates caused volcanoes to erupt and the climate to change. These changes affected the earth's atmosphere and temperature, and the dinosaurs died out from the cold or from lack of plants to eat.\n \n9     Other theories suggest that dinosaurs became so big that they couldn't move, or that there were too many dinosaurs and they ate up all of the food.


Are they used for soil enrichment? Never hear of them being used for food.

um i guess for more turkeys. no they are no mass produced like chicken eggs. they must only be used for new birds.

It's just like anything that you are just trying for the first time, people will be nervous.  Then there is the "mil-sim" or "war like" image that paintball may have to some people.  Then again, getting hit does hurt sometimes.  But, at my local fields, we try to match players evenly, and the more experienced ones know not to overshoot the new guys.

your living with someone for 3 years, they start wearing their x"s ankle braclet.  when you ask them about it they say its nothing...she knows it bothers you but they still wear it, what does it mean

first she is a bitch cause she wont take it off when you ask, she is just trying to make you jealous at that point, to fell loved. so you are an ahole for not making her feel loved. it prob started just cause she liked it, but when you said something about it started to be about the above


Currently as a professional, I am the breadwinner of the household. I have a good salary but would like to take it to the next level. Can you help me come up with ideas on becoming financially set?

Can you make more money doing exactly what you're doing, but do it on your own [i.e. start your own company].  The only potential drawback would be any non-compete agreements that you signed prior to your employment or in the beginning of your employment.


My computer savvy friend left me hanging w/ RAM she ordered for me via Ebay and no instructions.Have Gateway system bought secondhand. PLEASE, help me!

Installing Memory:\n\n1.      Open the case. You can leave all of the plugs in place and components attached.\n\n2.      Get grounded. Before touching the new memory or anything inside the computer, you need to get grounded. The easiest way to be sure that you are grounded is to use an inexpensive antistatic wrist strap that can be purchased at a local electronics or computer store. If you don’t have a wrist strap, touch the inside of the chassis while the PC is still plugged in; this will ground you. Once you are grounded, unplug the computer from the wall.\n\n3.      Find the place to insert the module. Look for other memory like the memory you have just purchased. You will see empty slots next to the memory that is already in place.\n\n4.      Pick up the memory module by the side edges. Don’t touch the flat surfaces or the contacts along the bottom. Orient the memory to match the memory that is already installed. Insert the memory module in the first empty slot next to the currently installed memory. Different types of memory install slightly differently.\n\na.       DIMMs and most newer types of memory are simply inserted into the slot with a gentle downward pressure. The clips on both sides of the module must snap into place for the module to be properly seated.\n\nb.      SIMMs are a slightly older type of memory found in most computers more than three years old. They are inserted at a 45-degree angle and then rotated to a vertical position. Again, the supporting clips will snap into place.\n\n5.      Replace the cover, plug in the computer, and turn it on. In some computers, you will see the amount of RAM scroll by, confirming that the computer has recognized the new memory. If the memory has not been installed properly, there may be error messages, or the computer may freeze. If anything seems abnormal, remove and reinstall the new memory. Once everything is running properly, you can hold down the ALT key while double-clicking on My Computer to see the System Properties screen which will confirm the amount of memory that your computer thinks is installed.


I’m doing a report for my tag “Talented and Gifted” group at school and I was looking around and found this. I know the Shark was Napoleon England. The tiger was the French. Who was the eagle? I think it was the French revolution or something i really apreciate it!

electric,  and over four hundred dollars

The Schecter C-1 Blackjack or Classic are great versatile guitars and a terrific value.  They all come with top quality hardware such as real Duncan pickups and TonePros bridge and Grover tuners.  Can't beat all that for around $500 bucks.


I'm looking for somewhere to meditate and draw.  Preferrably somewhere with guidance on meditation and workshops on reflection and finding inner peace.

I would highly recommend a 10-day vipassana meditation course (http://www.dhamma.org/vipassan.htm ) if you can get the time off.  I think it's definitely worth it, so keep it in mind.\n\nIt's very intense, over 10 hours of meditation a day for 10 days, complete silence (except with the teachers), and guidance instructions basically broken up into hour-chunks.  It might seem intimidating but it's very doable and you just need to have the intention to do it.\n\nAlso it's non-sectarian, anyone can practice it, and it's free from any dogma, blind belief, etc.\n\nAlso (again) the courses are free, by donation only, and no recommended or forced donation.  Even the room and board are provided, because past students have found it to be beneficial so it's supported entirely by donation.\n\nVery intense but since it's so rigorous most people see distinct benefits after only 10 days.


I have used soulseek but i would like something better

you could use limewire or imesh.they are superfast and can be used for anything


I have noticed more and more software products send their users to the web when they need help with the product? What do you think about this? Does anyone have any statistics on this topic? Does anyone know how software companies thought about offering help information in the product vs. sending them to the web.

Sorry, I don't have any statistics on the subject.\nI usually don't care for web based help. With most problems I can figure out the problems that everyone runs into. Trying to fix the weird errors my husband gets is difficult. It is so much easier to speak to someone and be done in 5-10 minutes than to keep trying to track down an answer on the web site. I know it is a cost saving measure, but if customer satisfaction is important a good help desk is key in my opinion.


Just wondering...I won one regular league (which allows me to play in another winner's league next year), and won one "winner's league".\nIs a trophy in your fantasy profile the prize?

You don't get anything in terms of material prizes. If you could consider anything the prize, it's the opportunity to play in the winners league. You know that in playing in that league, you're likely playing against other people who aren't going to be deadbeats about their team. Makes the whole thing a lot more fun when all managers are actually managing their teams.


i'd like to get a tuner that can hook into a usb port and also has hdtv capabilities.

There are several good tuner solutions on the market today, but I haven't personally used any that are external and use USB. \n\nI think plextor makes a good USB SD solution:\nhttp://www.plextor.com/english/products/product_dvc.html\n\nHauppauge also makes a USB SD solution:\nhttp://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_pvrusb2.html\n\nThe only HDTV capable capture cards on the market do *not* support windows. But, they work great in linux and are extremely well supported by the mythtv (PVR) project & community.\n\nThe HD capture cards are made by the pcHDTV company.  \nhttp://www.pchdtv.com/ \nthe pcHDTV™ HD-3000 is thier latest & greatest.\n\nAs far as windows goes, the best cards are made by the hauppauge company.\nhttp://www.hauppauge.com/\nThey have several cards that you might look at (if you can add a PCI card instead of USB device).  I personally recommend the WinTV-PVR-350 as a first card.  It comes with a remote and uses hardware on the card to do the encoding (saves CPU bandwidth) and if you choose to use it for video out, it also has a hardware encoder.\n\n\nCheck out these links for an open source PVR project:\n\nhttp://www.mythtv.org/\nhttp://www.mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html\n\nWell, I hope that helps.


Every time I upgrade computers, I lose my address list, in spite of my best efforts to save it. I am told that I wait too long between so the computer doesn't recognize such an old address format, but I am not willing to change computers more often just for that. However, I am tired of typing it all in again each Christmas card time. There has to be a place where I can send my list to for safekeeping.

In addition to Yahoo's Address Book service, you can use a variety of websites as a contact manager.


explain and analyze "the incumbency effect and what factors account for it

The first, and most central, fact we should know about congressional elections is the incumbency advantage (see the following section for useful tips on how to teach about incumbency). Simply put, what we mean by this is that incumbent members of Congress are at a great advantage when running for reelection; over time, incumbents are reelected close to 95% of the time. Some years, this figure climbs as high as 98%; in 1998, for example, 395 out of 403 incumbents who sought reelection were successful (seven lost in the general election and one lost his primary). \n\nFour Central Facts about Incumbency \n\n1. Incumbents win an overwhelming proportion of the time because they have significant advantages. These advantages include the ability to send free mail to their constituents and the ability to perform little favors for their constituents.\n\n2. Incumbents win reelection so often because congressional elections are usually poorly followed by media and by the voters. Voters in congressional elections often vote by simple cues such as party and/or name recognition (incumbents have the advantage because their names are more likely to be known). Issue positions or policy behavior while in office affect few people's votes.\n\n3. Congress as a whole is unpopular, but incumbents can nicely weather the storm. An unpopular institution does not affect the reelection ambitions of its members.\n\n4. Members of Congress "run scared." Even in the absence of any reason to fear for their electoral lives, the worry incessantly about losing the next election. This keeps them risk averse and keeps their behavior in line with what they perceive their constituents want.\n\nFor a good site that discusses other aspects of the incumbency effect as well as provides a great annotated bibliography on the topic check out the source below.


1st scan: 64 infections\n2nd scan: 250 infections\n3rd scan was from my own norton anti virus which said i had 0 infections. what is going on with this?

Different virus programs detect different viruses.  The people who write virus definitions (the clues that your program uses to look for viruses) can only create definitions for viruses they know about.  It's entirely possible that the different companies know about different viruses.  Therefore, why not use all of them?


ram 1 gb, speed 2.4 ghz. and i want to play games better. and it should be good and low cost

OK, since you have a P4 w/ 2.4 GHz, it's a good thing you want a low cost card since that's a pretty low performing CPU nowadays.\n\nI disagree w/ the other poster.  You don't choose graphics cards by matching AMD w/ nVidia and Intel w/ ATI.  That has nothing to do with it.  Honestly, AMD has it all over Intel for gaming nowadays, period.\n\nIf you want Pixel Shader 3 you will have go with one of the ATI x1000-series cards or an nVidia 6 or 7 series card.  Also the 9800 cards suggested by the other writer are 2 generations out of date.  For ATI, the last Gen were X800 cards; current are the X1000 series.\n\nHowever, 9800 cards are pretty cheap right now and you can get them around 126 (OEM) or 127 (non-OEM) at Newegg (according to Pricegrabber).\n\nX800 prices are close to 200.\n\nFor nVidia cards, I would recommend the 6600GT\n\nI'm assuming you have AGP, but check just in case.\n\nNote that these cards are going to need a free Molex connector for power.


The death penalty is racist and targets the poor. Nothing could illustrate the insanity of the system better than the fact that a Nobel Peace Prize nominee has been execution! \n\n They killed "TOOKIE"

i personaly feel that the death pentalty is not only racist but unfair no man nor woman on earth has the right to kill a man if so they should alow any one off the street to kill me and get away with it like the goverment can


The Bible says not to put false gods before God.  Yet, haven't many religions made a false god out of Jesus.  People say that if you don't believe in Jesus you will not have "eternal salvation."  Who are they fooling?  Some of the most beautiful people on Earth, like tribes in Africa, have never even heard of Jesus.  Aren't they even more worthy of "eternal salvation" than the followers of dogmatic religions?

Your passion is founded a bit too much in human reasoning. First, we are not accepted or rejected by God based on being good or beautiful people. To be accepted by God we have to be perfect. Well, no matter how beautiful or how good, none of us, even in Africa, can gravitate to perfection. So we need a loophole, and that is for someone to clothe us with HIS perfection, hence we need a savior.\n\nAs to worshipping false gods. The logic is simple. If Jesus is NOT God, we are worshiping a false god. If He IS God, then He is worthy of our praise and able to save us.\n\nI will prime this pump by asking you to look to Thomas post-resurrection. He fell on his knees, worshipped Jesus and declared, "My Lord and my God."  There is much much more including the leper, Jairus, Mary Magdalene... but this is such an interesting question, I would like to defer to my studies below. They have an interesting take on just this very subject. The Brazen Serpent talks about how God commanded the Children of Israel to break this very commandment and look to a graven image--or die! I think you will find it very fascinating in light of your question here.

I woke up this morning, feeling a tenderness/soreness in my right breast. In addition, this isn't exactly the first time either. For now, I am just teenager (under 20, for sure) - but do I still have the right to worry that this might be an early sign of breast cancer? Or is this just an annoying reminder of my up-coming period? What should I do?

This is totally normal if it is before your period (a lot of women have PMS swelling), or if your breasts are currently growing.  Sore breasts may also be a sign of pregnancy, so keep that in mind if it's a possibility.  Breast cancer, in the early statges, does not hurt at all.  The early sign of breast cancer is finding a lump (which would be HIGHLY unusual at your age).

I would have a trip to Hawaii, then fly to Cancun, then fly to Califorina and buy a house, have a ton of pets, and have a gecko zoo. (NOW THAT IS FUN)

How do you start a company like Sony...or small one like Memorex or those no name brand ones. What are the exact steps? How do you get manufacturers to build a product for u?

Well, I can tell you its not easy and it costs alot. I'm not an expert but I've been researching businesses since I was 12. First, you will need to find a reliable manufacturer that makes what you're looking for. You will have to contact them about minimum orders and branding costs. Most will require that you purchase at least 1,000 peices in order for them to print your company on them, depending on what the product is. This is only if you want to market a product that they already build. If you want them to custom design a product for you, that will cost alot more. You will most likely have to work with the manufacturer one on one to produce the exact product your looking for. \nManufacturers can be found on www.alibaba.com. Most electronics manufacturers are located in China and other parts of Asia. I strongly recommend that you do not deal with a company that has not been verified as a TrustPass member or Gold Supplier. \nDepending on which product you want to start with, costs can go from moderate to very high. It is recommended that you do your homework on each and every product that you plan to invest in. Ask to purchase a sample unit and test it for yourself. \nAlso, ask if you can make an appointment to vist the manufacturer. Don't hesitate to ask questions. Always be sure your getting the best possible price. And never, ever, send money to someone that you might be skeptical of. \nPlus, if someone from any country is offering you an incredible product at a crazy low price, don't go for it. It's most likely a scam. \n\nI can't give you exact steps since I never went through the process myself, but I'm just giving you some tips from the top of my head. Hope this helps. Good luck.\nHappy New Year!


I opened my own cafepress shop. I have ideas for bumper stickers. The tools that come with Mac OS X, (namely AppleWorks is not suited for making 10"X 3" bumper stickers.\nWhat are my cheap options?

You could go to a Kinko's and rent a Mac workstation. They have Illustrator installed.\n\nUsing a vector-based program like Illustrator will give you much better results than a raster-based program like Photoshop. Vector-based programs produce files that are constructed with vector points - they're mathematical formulas that allow your image (bumper sticker, in this instance) to scale infinitely. If you wanted to make a banner out of the same file, it would produce lines/edges that are just as crisp as those on the bumper sticker.\n\nIn a raster-based file, the image is made up of non-scalable pixels. If you scale an image, you'll just get bigger squares and jagged, fuzzy edges.


Guys, and also girls, can be mean sometimes. However, You are responsible of the way those guys are treating you. If you project a personality of zero tolerance for disrespect of your person, your time, or your property, those guys are going to react and start treating you well.


as opposed to peaceful negotiations ,bartering,hand -to hand combat with cruder weapons we just had to figure out how to kill more of our felloe human beings ,as far as inventions go i'd settle for the telephone,the wheel,popcorn and xbox360!

Hand-to-hand with cruder weapons are fine if you are trained, in good shape, and not greatly outnumbered.  If you are untrained, in poor shape, or greatly outnumbered, you might want to have something to improve the odds that you'll survive the encounter without capitulation.\n\n"The aggressor is always peace-loving (as Bonaparte always claimed to be); he would prefer to take over our country unopposed.  To prevent his doing so one must be willing to make war and be prepared for it." - Carl von Clauswitz, On War, p.370\n\nThere have always been people who are perfectly willing to use immoral force to achieve their objectives.  Robbers and rapists are two such groups.  I doubt that bit of human nature is going to change anytime soon.  Till then, I find firearms to be wonderfully effective given the low level of training and fitness needed to safely and effectively operate them.\n\n"The available information does not indicate that gun control will reduce violent crime against women.

The earliest picture is dated to 1326.  What is thought to be the earliest surviving device has a 12 inch barrel and weighs about 20 pounds.  Some people believe that some may have been developed in the 1200s, but there is not enough evidence to be certain.

My old Mac is a G3 desktop computer with no internal Zip station and no FireWire port. Is it possible to connect these two computers with some kind of cable? What kind of cable will be needed, and what software may be necessary?

The simplist would be to connect them to a network hub with an Ethernet cable, give each a static IP, turn on sharing and copy over the network.  You could also do the same with a cross-over cable. No additional software is needed.\n\nMany DSL or cable modems have built-in DHCP servers, so if you have ports available on your router/modem, you can use them and not worry with the static IP address.

I wrote a check, it was deposited by the recipient on 12/7, it cleared and the funds deducted from my credit union account on 12/12.  Yet the recipient claims the check "cleared" on 12/21.  Why would they say that?

When someone deposits a check to their bank it gets "cleared" on two sides, your bank being one and their bank being the other.\n\nWhat happens is his bank sends your check (or possibly an electronic copy these days due to the Check 21 law) to your bank for payment.  Your bank then credits his bank the funds through the Federal Reserve.  His bank would then credit his account the amount of the check.\n\nDepending on the funds availability policies of their bank it is possible that the funds were deducted from your account by your bank and held by the recipient's bank for several more days.\n\nThat being said, a 14 day hold is very unlikely.  Even from the 12th to the 21st is a long float period.


In society today i'm sure you all have noticed that beauty is light skin,light eyes,lengthy straight hair, thin bodies,big breast,and thin noses. I have witnessed beauty in all shapes sizes and colors but why does the world find Angelina Jolie to be a sex symbol and not Monique of the Parkers? I find both women equally beautiful!!!!!!!!

Because people in the media have no imagination, and people outside the media decide that what is shown in the media must be the "IDEAL VIEW OF BEAUTY".\n\nBut it's BS.  What you see in on TV is the lowest common denominator, not the ideal.  Make-up?  They are designed to appeal to women's concept of what they want to look at when they look in the mirror.  Models?  My Mom told me that she wouldn't buy something that made the model look fat.  Models are chosen to make clothes look good so that clothes sell, not on any ideal of beauty.\n\nEven suggesting that there is a beauty "ideal" is limiting.  That says that there is only one way to be beautiful.  And you and I know that isn't true at all.


In the parking lot of their apartment? The manager where my daughter and her husband and their two girls live charges the parents in their apartment complex 50.00$ if their children play in front of their apartments faceing the parking lot.She charged a lady 50.00$ for her kid breaking a window by accident and it wasnt the kid that broke the window.It was a Mexican kid that broke it but the manager of the apartment buildings made the African American kid pay for it.The parents of these kids are scared to say anything to her they cant afford to move.Tell me who they can get in touch with to get help.

How can I import and view my digital camera (home/personal) videos into the new iPod video?

The iPod plays MPEG-4 files with either the basic MPEG-4 video codec or the more advanced H.264 codec. The standard way to do this is using QuickTime Pro which a serial you buy for QuickTime Player that enables import/export/file conversions between many formats. There you find a special Export to iPod setting which makes it just a few clicks away. However, all software that create files based on the international standard MPEG-4 will work for this conversions. There are many such programs available...here is one guide for what you are doing...\n\nhttp://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/253137


i know ppl back in my hometown who started learning Wicca and they said its not at all devilish as projected by the Church.

Your question (part of it anyway) is pretty much your answer. "...as projected by the church" says it all.\n\nThe earlier response that Raymond M posted clearly shows Christianity's intolerance of Wicca based on lack of familiarity of any opposing viewpoint, as well as an unwillingness to listen. People like Raymond really scare me. Not because of his faith, but rather his comdemnation of other faiths and the people that follow them. Honestly, have you ever heard of anyone being killed by a fallen angel? \n\nHmmm...maybe if the angel actually landed on you at the end of his fall...but I digress.\n\nIn order for a new religion to gain a majority following (Christianity was new at the time, remember?), it usually has to discredit the existing religions, to make people feel like they're doing the right thing by converting. The easiest example is how Christianity, or at least some denominations of Christianity, demonizes Earth-based religions (Wicca included) by saying it is the work of the devil. There really is no evidence to support either side, other than each religion's own sacred texts, which of course will always support their respective religions. It's not limited to just Christianity vs. Wicca. Many religions are not very tolerant of each other. In fact, it's difficult (but not impossible) to find a religion that is totally tolerant of other religions.\n\nThink of it like a presidential election. The candidates usually try to point out each others' flaws in order to gain votes for themselves. Rarely do they try to get elected based on their own merit. \n\nI don't think there is one answer that will fit everyone for this question. Probably the best thing to do is to study a religion, either by research on the internet, or by attending a service or two, or by talking to people who follow that religion. Better yet, do all of those. Then make a choice on your own as to whether a religion is "good" or "bad" for you. A great place to start is: http://www.religioustolerance.org\n\nMy advice is to follow whatever religion(s) provide you with personal and spritual enrichment. Follow more than one if it fulfills you. Just make sure that your choice is YOURS. \n\nIt's one thing for someone to say why a religion is wrong for themselves; quite another for them to say why a religion is wrong for everyone else. \n\nGood luck to you...


I'm about to buy a new jacket or shell for skiing and boarding and am finding there's a ton of different "features" in the jackets, half of which I know nothing about. What are things that are pretty crucial (I do both boarding and skiing) and some nice to have things (e.g., I know I want some kind of cord organizing loops for an mp3 player).

A waterproof inner pocket will be good for the MP3 player. Most higher end jackets should have something like this by now. My HHansen jacket has one with a little mark saying its specifically for phones/gadgets.\n\nHaving a waistband that is elastic and snaps up is the best way to keep snow out of your jacket. I'm not talking about the 80s style jackets that came tight at the bottom, I'm just talking about an inner band that keeps snow from flying up into your jacket. When you look at a jacket you'll see what I'm talking about.\n\nAnother thing to keep you dry is the little sock things on the sleves of the jacket. There is usually room for your thumb and fingers to go through (like a glove) and they keep snow from going up your arms in case you loose a glove or have some seperation.\n\nEnjoy the hills!

i would like to have an answer from an accounting point of view please.

Unfortunately, all the accounting catches in the world don't prevent someone from having a duplicate set of data, which is the most common way to "cook the books".  If you could interface between their books and the actual stock price, and you had some serious computing power, you might be able to tell that something fishy was going on, but you'd have to have access to the data.

I'm guessing it was the Corporate Edition of XP Pro. Was this as an upgrade on top of the existing XP Pro?  Not sure why anyone would do that? I would save all of your data to another disk or CD then start over.

Hi~\n\n  10 years ago I had a fall out with my best friend who is also my godsister. Over a man that I thought she shouldn't date! I haven't seen her in about 5 years. I know where she works. She is married & has a child! \n     Here is the thing. She lives over 200 miles away from me and I can't call her at work, that would be rude! Any ideas or suggestions!

Wow, that's tough. If I were in that situation I would write her a letter. A REAL snail mail letter. :) (If you can get her address.) Tell her how you feel and that you miss her friendship and remind her of the good times that you two shared before this incident. Tell her about some things that are going on in your life and give her your telephone number and e-mail address (just in case she's not ready to "talk" just yet). I would also apologize to her and let her know that you weren't intending to hurt or berate her, you just believed that she could do better than him (which obviously she did because ~I'm assuming~ she married someone else). [That was good, feel free to use that in your letter, if, in fact, she did marry someone else.] :) After that, I would leave it alone. If she writes you back, that's great and if she doesn't, you've made your peace with the situation and you will have to let it go. I hope this helps!


Which music video has required the most investment. Please mention the sources. If not, then please reason why you think it to take the most money?

1. "Scream"\nCost: $7,000,000+\nArtist: Michael Jackson (featuring Janet Jackson)\n\nMichael Jackson's videos have always been ridiculously expensive. In 1983, he spent $800,000 on "Thriller," which would be about $1.4 million today. But remember that before "Thriller," no one even came close to spending that kind of money, and he had to do it with limited technological capabilities. As technology improved, Jacko's videos became more expensive, spending over $1.2 million on "Black or White" in 1992, and even more on "Remember The Time." But if he can keep an oxygen chamber, a petting zoo, the Elephant Man's bones, and an entire plastic surgery team in his mansion, it's certainly no biggie to drop another $7 mil on a video with his sister.\n\n"Scream's" $7,000,000 price tag is more than twice as much as the next most expensive music video (Puff Daddy's "Victory" at $2.7 million), and it's easy to see why: he spent $5 million alone on 11 sets. Yet while watching the video, it all seems incredibly wasteful, not coming close to the film quality of "Thriller", "November Rain," or "Victory."\n\n    * Computer-generated spaceship: $65,000\n    * Breaking guitars: $53,000\n    * Morphing artworks: $50,000\n    * Michael's makeup: $3,000\n    * Janet's makeup: $8,000 a day\n    * Choreography: $40,000\n    * Giant video screen: $80,000\n    * Lighting: $175,000\n    * Cost per day: $636,000 (about 11 days)\n    * Total cost of 11 sets: $5,000,000


I want to look better with a low price involved.

You don't need to "be less fat." If this guy is dating you, then he probably doesn't have a problem with your weight.  If he thinks you're too blah looking, then he isn't the right guy for you.  The right guy will like you for who you are and not for the clothes you wear.  I know it sounds cheesy, but it's the truth.  If you're changing your style because you (not him) want to make a change, there are lots of cute clothes at places like TJ Maxx that aren't that expensive. I hope this helps!

was intelligent design taught in anyone's class?

They only briefly touched on intelligent design in my classes. mostly the focus was on evolution. \n\nPersonally i believe in a mix between the two. a hybrid if you will. i absolutely believe that God created all living creatures and specific species. i also believe that He gave all species the ability to adapt slightly to accommodate differences to their specific environment. this is what Darwin believed in as well. never did he state that he believed that man came from ape, or dinosaurs originated as fish. he believed in a hybrid, and others distorted his theories!

What would make you say "I want that! How much is it?"\n\nIf possible, it should be something that can be developed by a skilled programmer in less than 1 year ;-)

I've never found a suitable Google/Yahoo Images spider. Something that will take a search string and download all the image results from Google and Yahoo. It would need to have options for limits, locations, at the like. \n\nThat is something I would consider buying.


make a long story short i am not a jw but someone i know is i want to be with this person but we are two different religions im baptist/christian, and i dont mean what church "kindom hall" can i go to i mean website

The only place to get accurate information about what Jehovah's Witnesses believe is from their current publications. If you don't want to speak with any Witnesses, you still have a few options:\n  1. Write to a JW branch office and ask for literature. Have it sent to a PO box or they will come to deliver it in person.\nhttp://www.watchtower.org/how_to_contact_us.htm\n  2. Buy JW books on Ebay. Search Ebay for "knowledge that leads to everlasting life" or "what does the bible really teach" (the titles of the two most recent entry-level books containing all basic Witness teachings)\nhttp://www.ebay.com\n  3. Online. The Witnesses' official website doesn't have entire books (except the bible), but it does have entire brochures. Look at the publication covers and titles ; the ones toward the bottom hyperlink to the publication contents:\nhttp://www.watchtower.org/publications/publications_available.htm\n\nThere are many partial truths and slanders about Jehovah's Witnesses, so the only real place to learn about their beliefs is from them. The three suggestions above should allow anyone to do that almost anonymously.


If so, what is the difference between it and Christianity?

No. I am not a scientologist but I have friends who are. The difference between it and Christianity couldn't be more vast; however, they both espouse living by the Golden Rule.


Would it hurt the economy too much to let it out?

Of course not, it would turn all those unproductive hours of missed work or working below capacity into fully productive hours. All the money and brain power know used to make cold medicines would go to making something else, like a cure for cancer, etc.

about 2 weeks after haveing sex with my girlfriend i started to have these red rash like bumps on my penis but she doesnt have any std's and it was my first time and she has only had sex with one other guy. some of the bumps disapeared with the use of anit-fungal cream. she had sex with the other guy bout 5 months ago and didnt use protection and i didnt use any either so i need to no what these small bumps are.

I doubt that anti-fungal cream had anything to do with taking your bumps away. Gonorrhea will go away if not treated but it will come back to haunt you and cripple you.  I suggest you go see a doctor.

Hi,\nI am trying to get into surfing and want to buy a board to learn on.  Everyone is telling me to get a long board.  I know I will grow out of it pretty quickly so I don't want to spend much money.  Any tips on where I can find a cheap one in NorCal?

If you're learning to surf, I suggest you rent boards for a while until you can tell the difference in different boards. Then you can make an educated decision on what kind of board you want without dishing out a lot of money on a board that you won't like or won't work for you. If you have friends that surf, borrow their old boards. At least it's free and a great way to experiment on a variety of styles. Be aware of what you like about different boards and how variations to the shape of the board will effect the performance (length, width, rocker, tail, fins, etc). That way when you get a board of your own you'll have some idea of what will work for you most of the time.


Many seniors seem to have a hard time relating to that style of Shakespearen English. Aren't there other valuable literature authors to read in the senior year?

Shakespeare is a literary giant, just like Hawthorne, Melville, Hugo, Twain, Steinbeck ...\n\nIt probably has a lot to do with standardizing Literature education among high schools.  No doubt, every literature teacher has his / her favorite writers .  Decisions about testing have to be made somewhere, and Shakespeare is likely as good a pick as any.\n\nStudents who go on to College / University education will likely see Shakespeare again, so it's good exposure.


The gibbon has 44 chromosomes per diploid set and the siamang has 50 chromosomes per diploid set.  In the 1970s a chance mating between a male gibbon and a siamang female produced a viable offspring.  Predict how many chromosomes were observed in the somatic cells of the offspring.  Do you preduct that this individual would be able to form viable gametes? Why or Why NOT!?

This sounds like a homework question. Think about it this way: what does diploid mean, and what does haploid mean? What has to happen for a gamete to form? How many chromosomes in a haploid gamete as opposed to a diploid somatic cell? What happens at fertilization? How many chromosomes would be in a fertilized zygote if you count up what was in each gamete?\n\nHints: a gamete is an egg or sperm; a somatic cell is any cell that is not a gamete; a zygote is what is formed when egg and sperm combine in fertilization. Post again if you're still stuck.


Is there any better solution than object oriented programming to solve the problem of complexity in software systems development.

Proponents of OOP claim [...] that OOP approach is often simpler to develop and to maintain, lending itself to more direct analysis, coding, and understanding of complex situations and procedures than other programming methods (Wikipedia)\n\nAs far as I can see OOP not only makes it easier to create abstract domain models, OOP paradigm has lead to understanding that some decisions are more effective and can be videly reused (so-called design and architectual patterns). Being familiar with a wide range of patterns gathered&developed by best practitioners and scientists you won't have to reinvent a bicycle each time.

Handguns are meant for killing people thats why they exist so should canada ban them

Well this is a very debatable question. But I would argue that allowing humans to own handguns, even in order to protect themselves will lead to far more shooting and killing than without. The US are a good example of this. I quite believe Canada to be a country where it is pleasant to live, but to my mind such a ban would drastically increase the "level of civilization" there. Just my opinion though :)

Looking at a colonial American map, trying to find out what the windmill respresents. Does anyone know?

It depends on what kind of map you are looking at:\n\nFor instance, a map of historical landmarks might use a windmill to indicate that there actually is a windmill in this location of some historical significance.\n\nOn the other hand, if it is modern in appearance, it could mean that wind is harvested in this location to create electrical power.\n\nDoes the map have a key?

Hi!\nNow I am writing the advertisement copy for slimming gel in English. Though I search the sentence including “S-line” in many websites, it’s not easy. So, I am wondering if this expression (S-line) is not correct English. “S-line” is used for expressing and praising the good shape (body line) of women in Korea. So, I need to know whether this expression is Korean style expression or not. Is this expression used in English native countries? If not, could you recommend me other expressions to express the good body shape? I heard some expression (hourglass figure, in shape, …) from my friend. But, I am not sure. Your help would be highly appreciated.

Hourglass figure is understood in America to mean shapely - having pleasing proportions - as applied to the female form. I think your friend is giving you correct information.


My BF and i have been sleeping with each other for 6 years, and have stayed monogamous with each other. Except that one time my best friends begged me to make him feel warmth, relieve his tension, and just feel cared for. I am not sure if i should tell my BF because we have kept no secrets from each other. Should i tell him or not?

No. Telling him will only make you feel better and\nmake him feel betrayed. Keep your mouth shut and if\nyou love him, never never never do anything like that again. If you don't love him enough to be true\nleave him and let him find someone who does. Life is\nshort. There is no time to waste with people who do\nnot care about you.

I'm looking for a good FTP client. And please don't say FlashFXP. Filezilla is decent but I don't like the interface that much. Looking for something better. Thanks!

It depends on how you use FTP.  \n\nFor secure, business class FTPing, WS_FTP is my favorite.  It has a lot of features, works great, and it is fairly intuitive.  (Cute FTP and Wise FTP are also very good.)\n\nIf you have a reliable internet connection, and just need a good quality, basic and FTP client, then FileZilla is great and the one I use 99% of the time (I FTP daily.)\n\nIf you have an unreliable internet connection and just need a good quality, basic and free FTP client, miFiles is  excellent.  It's main advantage over FileZilla is that miFiles has a great resume feature that is very helpful with interupted uploads or downloads.  \n\nOf all the FTP clients I have tried, FileZilla is the simplest, quickest at uploading and downloading and my favorite. (It is also free.)


will the IRS take notice or care if my friend happens to make income on the exercise and sale of a stock option in a later tax year?

I hope to be indecisive, but the correct answer is, "it depends". First, the option itself is an asset and must be disclosed on the form 433-A Collection Information Statement for Individuals, which accompanies all Doubt as to Collectibility Offers. Second, the income from the sale of the option MAY in this case touch off a Future Income Collateral Agreement, which is normally not included in a typical OIC. In fact, in my 13 years in private practice, we have only had 2 cases where the IRS required a Collateral Agreement.\n\nA Future Income Collateral Agreement is used only when the IRS anticipates a large increase in income in the future. This MAY be one of those circumstances. I strongly suggest that your friends consults an EA, CPA or attorney with extensive experience in Offers.

The I-5 is the major Interstate Artery on the West Coast, beginning at the International Border (Mexico/U.S.) South of San Diego, CA and extending North to the U.S./Canadian Border.\n\nAs far as giving you directions to it, you'd have to provide information as to where you're located. Or you could try maps.yahoo.com or something like that to get directions.


Don't say 8 glasses or 5 glasses. Give me the actual measurement like cups, fl oz., and such. Thank you

There's a formula in this article:\nhttp://www.naturodoc.com/library/nutrition/water.htm

I'm browsing through these questions and they are some of the most ridiculous ones I have ever heard regarding sex and pregnancy and disease.  So my question is to all those teens and preteens.  Are you being taught this stuff in school?  Or are you kids that young that you haven't received it yet?

They teach it alright, and I'm not so sure why people post these questions. Maybe it's to be funny, or maybe they really want to know what this stuff  is ASAP.


remains unchanged after 6.4 seconds. And why?

In 1.6 s, 1.2 g decays to 0.6 g\nIn 1.6+1.6 s, 0.6 g decays to 0.3 g\nIn 1.6+1.6+1.6s, 0.3 g decays to 0.15 g\nin 1.6+1.6+1.6+1.6 s, 0.15 g decays to 0.0750g\n\nSo after 6.4 secs, 0.0750 g remains unchanged
