Anywhere in the world we see the sky blue, has it always been blue? Is there something in the atmosphere that absorbs other wavelenghts? Form space we also see the earth blue (at least a portion of it), does this has something to do with the sky being blue too?

The sky is blue due to a phenomenon known as diffuse sky radiation. Diffuse sky radiation is solar radiation reaching the earth's surface after having been scattered from the direct solar beam by molecules or suspensoids in the atmosphere.\n\nThe blue portions of the earth seen from space are of course water. Water exhibits a similar characteristic, where red light wavelengths are absorbed. This effect is only visible with large quanities of water though (like a pool or ocean), however. Water in small quantities (like a glass of water) appears clear.


Sinve the year starts under Capricorn why most magazines begin the horoscopes section with Aries?

Ahh but the astological new year begins with the vernal equinox....so aries is the first sign technically.


after knowing you really hurt someone, and they said they want to have nothin to do wid you..very clearly and very seriously..... and u know its over, would you still pursue that guy, with some crazy ray of hope? that you both could be together... jus maybe....???

I wouldn't pursue him any longer. If he changes his mind he'll let you know. In the meantime, just let him go since he made his feelings clear.


Warm compresses. Get a wash cloth and make it wet with very warm water and just put it over your eye. It will help drain it


I am newly married and am not working. I have limitations on my budget.....his bday is close to valentine's day

There are probably a million things that you can do for him for his birthday without costing you anything. Men are really not all that different from woman in what pleases them. Think of what you would like and go from there. You probably wouldn't even have to leave the bedroom let alone the house. Good luck and have fun.


NISSAN MAXIMA OR NISSAN ALTIMA OR LINCOLN LS?

Nissan Altima is a nice, economical car.  Pick this one if price is your most important criteria.\n\nThe Maxima is zoomier, but still based on a basically cheap FWD platform.  Still, all in all it could be a reasonable compromise between the other two cars.  Nicer comforts than the Altima, but not really comparable to the LS.  The motor sounds wonderful in the Maxima at full song, so I could almost overlook the fact that it's FWD.  Almost.  In fairness, most people don't care about that though.\n\nThe Lincoln LS is a great car, vastly undervalued in my opinion.  It's the same chassis as the Jaguar S-Type.  If you get the V8 it's a bit quicker and more responsive than the Maxima; if you get the 6 the Maxima is faster.  Since I'm a RWD snob, I like the LS of the cars you mentioned, but hey, it's also the priciest.  It has the most prestige, I'd say, too.  So if image is most important to you, it's the best choice.\n\nLike all questions asking for advice on these cars, it depends far more on your personal passions than on anyone else's opinions.  I may be the smartest guy in the whole world (I'm not...just top ten) but it still doesn't matter what I think--you need to spend your money in a way that makes you glad you splurged on yourself everyday.  Anything less, and you'll hate the car.  Trust me.  Been there, done that.\n\nOn trannies, the Maxima and LS will suffer very badly with a manual trans when the time comes for resale.  (Does the LS still offer a manual?  I know it did when it came out, but I'm not so sure anymore.)  If you are leasing, and you are *SURE* you'll own it to lease end, this doesn't matter.  But for the type of cars you mention, I'd strongly suggest the automatic.\n\nGood luck!

This may seem pretty irrational, but I've been going through a lot of various crisis and problems that are too miraculous to just be coincidence.\nWherever I go I feel like a strange, bad presence and I keep getting bad luck, not once or twice but a whole chain of incidences that seem to plague me wherever I go.\nMy fiance thinks someone has cursed me or placed black magic. My family and I are a case of riches to rags and with so many things happening one after the other it just seems too fixed or 'designed' to be just coincidence! Now the last straw is my mother has developed a serious disease and my brother developed mental problems. I've also came into serious problems in Education.\nIt just all seems to "fixed", like nothing good is happening. Does black magic, curses, or hexes exist, and what can I do to stop this obsession of it or cure myself of it if it exists?

I have found an explanation in Scientific American, but have forgotten in which issue or the author of the explanation.

It regards to time management:\n\nReflective Diary\n\nA reflective diary is a form of the personal development portfolio which is particularly useful for students. It can have many names, critical log is a popular one, but reflective diary is the term I think describes it best.\n\nA reflective diary looks forward, describes the present, and then reflects back on what it wrote. You start it by writing about your aims. Regularly you describe what you have done to achieve those aims. And regularly you reflect on your aims, your achievements and your failures. As you go along you adapt your aims and self-assess yourself.

ok i have a parallel circut and a total resistance branch of 1.94 ,with 4.00 and 3.75 being ont he paralle branch i need to know the resistance of 3.00 reststior a 2.50 resistor and the two on the branch

You'll have to describe the circuit a little better \n\nAre you adding either the 3.00 ohm or 2.50 ohm (but not both) in parallel with the 4.00 and 3.75 ohm, and need to know the total resistance with either the 3.00 or 2.50 ohm resistor connected?\n\nOr are BOTH the 3.00 AND the 2.5 ohm being placed in parallel with the 4.00 and 3.75 ohm?\n\nAnd without knowing the applied voltage, your first question (current through a 3.00, 4.00, 3.75, 2.50 ohm resistor) can't be answered.


Formaldehyde has been found in certain kinds of food as preservative. I know it is harmful when it is inhaled as gas. But what about its use in food? Is it safe?

I've heard that maraschino cherries are sometimes preserved in formaldehyde.  It can't be good for you. They keep body parts in jars in science class with that stuff!  I love Shirley Temples though so I still eat my cherries.


As an American I am appalled at the state of the U.S. I've never felt as uneasy or afraid. I'm ashamed of the White House. Several thousand of our troops have died that are fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers, daughters, etc. And he says he’s “pro-life!” These men & women have been kept much longer than their initial stay of duty & it is cruel to keep them there for so long–forcing them to no matter what their commitment was to the military when they joined. This is the worst divorce rate of the troops during any war. I agree that Sadaam Hussein is a horrible person but why should thousands & thousands of innocent Iraqis lose their lives? Their lives are precious too. He wouldn't wait for the U.N. to start the war & he is a madman with extreme power needs. Now there's talk that known terrorists may be let go because of his unlawful wiretapping. Will this ever end? What country is next? And millions of dollars was spent on Clinton being a ladies' man! Bush needs to be impeached!

You bet I would!  Bush should be impeached and tried as a war criminal along with most of his cabinet.He comes from old bluebood money.  Barabara Bush's Great great great grandfather was President Pierce who supported slavery. Of course Bush's dad and grandfather were politicians. MOst of the BUsh boys have been in some sort of trouble.  I.e Neil and the Savings and loan scandel\n\nThe Bush family is raping this country and when its over we will be left at the mercy of Christian Fundamentlaist(so called, most just angry white men with docile housewives) Then watch out.  All of our liberties that are slowly being wiped out will be used against us and forums like this will exist no longer. Sorry I'm just really angry that people aren't doing anything to stop Bush.

I like the korg karma. I know its been replaced by the oynx but that has more keys. \n\nWhy?  Because it does what a synth should do. And if you really go deep into it its amazing. I think alot of people don't know what to do with it. Most other keyboards can't compete with software. I still use the mpc 2000xl also and prefer that to software. I also prefer it to the newer mpc 4000 becuase its so durable. The korg karma is also alot smaller than the oynx so i would want both of them really. But i will have to save up.

How much confidence can one place in an attorney to keep what they say to them private all the time, how much can the court change that?  What is the process for that?  Is it like a journalist priveledge to keep informants secrets or is there any such thing?

As long as an attourny isn't party to a crime they cannot reveal anything said to them. If they do it is punishable under the law.\n\nJournalists and there sources have no such legal protection.  If someone reveals something to a journalist that violates the law, the journalist can be compelled by law to reveal the source, if they don't the journalist can be found in contempt of court

i think no.how can you be a man and love other man?!it`s perversion.and how can be it much better than to love a woman?\nwhat do you think?

LOL!  Homosexualism? That's the most creative made-up word I've ever seen on Yahoo! Answers (and that's saying something).  Anyway, homosexuals make up just over 4% of the population, so yes, it is statistically abnormal.  However, there are many heterosexuals who suffer from equally striking 'perversions', such as various fetishes.  Unfortunately, medical science lacks a sufficiently advanced understanding of human sexuality to really address these issues.  Okay, that was kinda' vague and rambling, but I just couldn't resist popping in to a question with the word 'homosexualism' in the title ;)


any reliable websites where can i find cheap and used college books?

Ebay! \n\nWish this was around when I was a university student!


DOD website, AKO(Army knowledge online) And do a search on Google for civil service opportunities.


There are 4 or 5 different small colleges in the actual city. I was looking at the University of Dubuque and Loras University, I don't know much about the others.

I personally graduated from Loras College.  I feel it was a pretty good liberal arts school, and I got a pretty good education.  From my experiences, Loras had more classes and options of majors than the University of Dubuque.  I don't know what exactly you are look to get into, so maybe that would influance it too.

i find that it helps to get some of it done and you will feel releaved.. and if that doesnt work.. write out all your feelings.. whether they are about your homework, politics, church, school, friends what ever.. i find that writing out your feelings releaves built up emotion and you feel calmer and more able to concentrate on what's at hand.

Dear friend,\nI'm an undergraduate student in University Of California Davis. I'm an Indian and i did my high school from a school in Haryana. Let me tell you that we do NOT get any federal aid from the FAFSA which US govt. offers to its permanent residents only. Try looking for some online scholarships. I got a 14000 USD scholarship and that's how i'm here and 60000 USD would not be the full price. I advise you to research a lot before reaching a decision.

what are the different functions of air, besides inhaling/exhaling, moving, and absorbing of UV rays??

What we call air is just a collection of gases, or molecules in some gaseous state, possibly with some suspended particles like dust or clouds (water droplets condensed on the particles). \n\nThese gases sometimes react with other materials, as in fires. They go through phase changes, as when water evaporates to form water vapor. Carbon dioxide and other gases are so-called greenhouse gases because they do not allow all the infrared rays from the earth to escape into space, and they keep the earth warmer than it would be otherwise. Nitrogen scatters some of the wavelengths of light to create blue skies. Some of these gases become dissolved in other materials, like the ocean. The atmosphere and its properties are responsible for the phenomenon we call weather. One could make a very extensive list if one wanted.


I need an issue that is being discussed in america about enviornmental issues and international business laws.  For example, illegal pesticides that are imported every day from other countries that are not illegal in outside areas.

They just had a special on the T.V. about DDT. How it has been outlawed here in the U.S.. But they want to use it in Africa, to prevent Malaria. But since it is outlawed here, the Africans do not want it. Yet, with the right application amount they could prevent the outbreak of Malaria.

1st degree, 2nd degree, 3rd degree, 4th degree, and the multiple variables.

California does not designate it's crimes in degrees as so many other states do, so I don't know that I can offer a definitive answer for you.\n\nOn the other hand, states that do designate crimes in varying degrees, do so to establish the severity of the crime and/or punishment.  A 1st degree offense is more serious (more violence, more victims, etc) than a 2nd degree offense, and so on.


I have been twice in the armyh and both times, during wars, got the G.I. Bill. Now that Pres. Bush says we are at war, is the G.I. Bill in effect as it had been for our wars in the past? And, if not, why not?

the GI Bill has different chapters(1606, 1607-reservists)(30 active duty) you have ten years after you receive your NOBE (notice of basic eligibility) to use your benefits. I served in Iraq and i received an extention to use my GI Bill for up to 14 years after the NOBE(unsure about any other wars other than Iraq on that)

It's not really a script that you need.  You need an ad serving solution that will allow you to count the things that advertisers are willing to pay for (impressions or clicks).\n\nIf you are just going to add in a Google AdSense script and have Google do all the ad sales and management for you, then just go to http://www.google.com/adsense and sign up.\n\nIf you want a full ad serving solution you'll need to take a look at your web hosting infrastructure to determine what you can use.  I like an app called phpAds which is a pretty robust ad serving solution http://phpadsnew.com/two/features.html\n\nThe third choice is to outsource the serving of your ads, but this is a relatively pricey option.\n\nSource - former head of an online ad network (me).

Yawn ! YAwn ! Yawn !!! Why does this happen ?

From straightdope:\n\n"nobody really knows. Fact is, we don't know why people yawn, period.\n\nIt was long believed you yawned when there was too much carbon dioxide and not enough oxygen in your blood. A part of your brain called the brain stem detected this and triggered the yawn reflex. Your mouth stretched wide and you inhaled deeply, shooting a jolt of oxygen into the lungs and thence to the bloodstream.\n\nSubsequently, you exhaled a lot of CO2. Often you'd stretch while yawning, which seemed to temporarily improve circulation. You yawned and stretched a lot more when you got tired because your breathing slowed down.\n\nOr so people thought. In recent years, though, a few radicals have said the preceding is all malarkey. Who knows, they say, maybe we yawn because it's too warm in the room.\n\nCecil isn't about to settle the issue here, and he doesn't need to. We merely observe that whatever yawn-inducing conditions prevail for you also apply to your friends.\n\nIf you're out late in some crowded dive, you're probably all tired, all warm under the collar, and all breathing the same stale air. You're probably all on the verge of a yawn, too, and the power of suggestion from seeing one person do it is enough to push everybody else over the edge.\n\nAdults rarely catch a case of the yawns from a child or animal, which tends to corroborate this idea.\n\nChildren usually have different sleep schedules and respiration rates from adults, so you would expect them to yawn at different times. Animals, on the other hand, often yawn not for physiological reasons but as a display of hostility, to which humans are evidently unresponsive."


It tends to shut itself off anywhere from minutes to three hours later.  Sometimes it appears to be on but unresponsive.  I must disconnect both the AC adapter and the battery and then reboot.  I have recalibrated the battery and run all virus, spyware and adware programs.

If you have already checked the battery, what about the AC adapter cna you run it just on the mains, does it shut down. \n\nIf it doesnt shut down, it just may be that the battery is faulty  or even check the power save/optimisation settings.\n\nIf it does shut down then check the following:\n\nLaptop overheating - make sure none of the vents are blocked/clogged up, when in use.\n\nProcessor Overheating - CPU fan may be faulty, so processor starts to overheat and system shuts down to protect the processor.\n\nGet it checked out by a pro, to be safe.\n\nGood Luck\nBattery Wizard


i really need to kno how to get condoms, and kno i cant have someone buy them 4 me, or get them  at school, im 14-15, a gurl, and i need to kno

Get a v*brator... and save yourself from the "real thing" at least for now. You shouldn't have sex if you dont have more than 1 way to protect yourself. Are you on birth control? If you aren't... you better hope you have good luck, because you will end up pregnant. It isn't worth it, plus that "silver bullet" can do alot more than that eighth grade "horn dog".


I read that in Japan with classes varying from 40-50 students they have the best standardized test scores. In American culture sports seem to go before academics and I don't think it is that way in Asia or Europe.

I've been a teacher for 11 years.  Generally, smaller has been better for everyone.\n\nHowever, let me throw this in.  For me, behavior has been more important than class size.  I would rather have a class of 40 well behaved students than a class of 15 poorly behaved students any day.\n\nNow days, it's so easy for so many students to get away with so much while at school.  It's really too bad that so much $$$$ is spent on behavior/discipline problems at school.  This is robbing well behaved students.  It's robbing the USA in the long run.

I have recently noticed that the water level of the toilets in my house changes by up to 3/4 inch with changes in the weather and outside temperature, but don't seem to be able to relate the change to any one specific factor.  Just figure that given the difference in density of mercury and water, 3/4 inch difference in the water level may correspond to the changes in the barometric pressure.  Don't know if the plumbing is connected in such a way that the toilet can act as a barometer.

The water in the toilet is inside a "knee", basically an s-shaped combination of curved tubes. If the far side of the tube develops underpressure, some of the water will be pulled over into the far side, and water level will sink.\n\nPressure on the far side can oscillate. Usually the waste water system is connected to outside pressure via a separate chimney. On windy days, this chimney may act like a jet pump, reducing the inner pressure of the canalisation, so that water will be sucked into the falling side when the oscillation goes that way, lowering the water level.\n\nAnother possible source of oscillation are huge amounts of water flushed at once, moving down the tube pushing all the air below and leaving lower pressure above.\n\nBarometric pressure shouldn't really come into this, since canalisation and the open air are connected. However high or low the pressure, it ought to be the same inside the canalisation unless strong wind makes the chimneys act like jet pumps.\n\nNow, at which air pressures do you observe strong wind?


i'm seperated and i really like this new guy, but he lives in florida, and i live in louisiana. we talk every night  and we laugh for hours. my husband never cared what i had to say even in the beginning. i still love my husband, but only the good not the bad. he says that he fell out of love with me. i don't want this new guy to be a rebound guy, b/c i really like him. my husbands told me to move on. he wasn't there for our childs birth b/c hes too lazy to get a job and didn't have any money to come out here, he lives off of other people and when i couldn't offer him anything, he said he fell out of love with me. we've been through a lot so i beleive he did love me once. i'm sure my husband has a girlfriend, why else would she call him all the time.

look if he says that he fell out of love with you then just move on its not gone help to waiste time on him hes worthless


i know something about behavioral modification. i need to recognize the triggers, right? but it seems i get a hold of it for a few days, put some salve on my fingers throughout the day, then a couple days later, i'm back to biting. can hypnosis help? when i've painted my nails (i don't even really bite the nail, mostly the skin) that works a little. why do i have this tic? i'm not crazy otherwise :)).

continue to do things with your hands. i had the same problem. I will always paint my nails and have lotion on my hand witch can make them taste bad too. I will do things like scrapbook or do in home projects to keep my hands busy.


a)Callable statement is used to invoke a JDBC Driver.\nb)Callable statement is used to invoke the connection with the database.\nc)Callable statement is used to establish a URL connection.\nd)Callable statement is used to invoke a stored procedure.

"d"\nA CallableStatement object provides a way to call stored procedures in a standard way for all DBMSs. A stored procedure is stored in a database; the call to the stored procedure is what a CallableStatement object contains. This call is written in an escape syntax that may take one of two forms: one form with a result parameter, and the other without one. (See Section 4, "Statement," for information on escape syntax.) A result parameter, a kind of OUT parameter, is the return value for the stored procedure. Both forms may have a variable number of parameters used for input (IN parameters), output (OUT parameters), or both (INOUT parameters). A question mark serves as a placeholder for a parameter.

"Tray App The  feature you are trying to use is on a cd rom or other removable disk that is not available.\n\nInsert Tray App disk and click OK.\n\nUse source 1 (one).\n\nHere's the main problem.  There is no such thing as a 'tray app disk' when you browse for it to locate it - you get nothing and the same error returns.  so you click 'ok' and it tries to 'do it's thing' and the error returns.  this continues in a viscious circle until you about put your fist right thru the machine.\n\nwe searched for 'tray app' and it comes up with almost everything.  it appears as if it is part of some type of windows installation program in the machine, that the system uses to install programs, so we cannot delete it.\n\nShe first noticed it when trying to install her HP handheld unit.\n\nwhat do we do??  we've been fighting with this for over a month.  so i thought i'd ask for help.\n\nComputer is a Dell Dimension 4600c and the hand held is HP iPAQ rx3115.\n\nthanks in advance.

Can someone steal information when I use a proxy?

It may be possible. A proxy server acts as a filter before the network traffic is forwarded to the computer system or server. Security can be improved by using NIDS (network intrusion detection systems) which perform pattern checking and parsing of the data packets that reach your proxy server, to check for malicious contents that are stored in the system log reports. Firewalls are also an important aspect of keeping one's network secure.


Did someone give them to us?  If so, who?\n\nnot so much a question as it is a poll to see what people think.

Of course our rights stem from the Bill of Rights which amended the Constitution.  However, and more importantly, our rights are preserved by the "Rule of Law" and that depends on our Court system being independent of Congress or the Whitehouse.  Many countries had constitutions, lawyers and elections but lost their freedom when they lost the rule of law.  Nazi Germany is a good example.  I know of investors who shy away from investments in Russia today because they doubt that the rule of law there will protect their rights.  perhaps things will change for the better.

Sorry...I was having trouble wording the question.  I know there is something called "a wash" and it's illegal I think.\n\nCould you explain a little about this subject?

You offset gains with losses, so if they're even -- no tax.\n\nA wash sale is where you sell stock to take a loss and then buy it right back within a certain time period.  It's not illegal, but you're not allowed to take the loss if you do that (at least immediately).\n\nA good explanation of wash sales is at http://www.fool.com/taxes/2000/taxes001006.htm


i am an animal physio student, the abbove topic  is included under physiology of movement and locomotion.

Catch muscles of mollusks, especially bivalves, are special muscles that can remain "locked" in contraction for long periods. They're made up of smooth muscle fibers that react more slowly but can remain contracted for long periods.\n\nAny good Physiology textbook will give you the information you need.


when the msses are doubled and the separation is halved, what effect do they have on the gravitational force between the masses?

it would actually be by a factor of 16... since both masses are doubled, so the numerator increases by a factor of 4, and the denomonator is halved, so then the denomonator is actually r^2 so you have to square 1/2 giving 1/4. so that means that you have 4/(1/4) which is just 4 x 4 or 16.

from the first, bringing y to the other side of the equation, you get x= j-y (you must change the sign of y)\nThe second relation tells that you can write k instead of j-y, and hence you get x=k

I'm 35 and going back to school in 2 weeks to work on an associates in business. I eventually have to take Acc. 1 and 2 and also Intro to Prob and Stat.I'm not greatest at math, which should I take first and what can I expect?

I just took Acc 1 last quarter, and am going to take Stats this quarter. I thought Acc 1 was fairly easy. It's not really math. No hard calculations involved accept simple add, subtract, multiply, divide. It's a little confusing when first learning about debits and credits...but once you get the hang of it it is pretty straight forward. I would think that Acc would be easier than stats frankly...but I can't say for sure as I haven't taken the stats class yet. Good luck whatever you decide.\n\nJust make sure you really learn the debit and credit stuff...which is which for each kind of account. That's pretty much what everything hinges on from then on. It's all just making journal entries for the rest of the class. So practice and get that basic stuff down and you'll be fine.


Yes, I am a preacher. When you say " If Jesus were here today", my mind immediately shifts into "2nd coming" mode.\nHe couldn't come the first time today because the timing of His first coming was given in the book of Daniel. In order to fulfill that propecy, Jesus had to come at just the right time in history, and He did.

Bit of a question here. If two people have the same area code, but live in different cities (In this case Fort Wayne, and Decatur Indiana) would long distance rates apply? When dialing the other number, the user does have to press 1 to complete the call.

Often, when a single area codes covers a large coverage area, there is also another class of toll calling - local long distance, which refers to calls within the customer's area code but outside of their local calling area. The best way to verify is to contact your local phone company and ask them.


When I setup the webserver without rounter, it worked fine when i publish it with the ip http://24.55.64.247 . But after I use the rounter. The ip 24.55.64.247 didn't work anymore. And it works with ip http://192.168.0.100, but the problem is I cannot publish it to other people on the internet. Is there anyway I can setup webserver with rounter. Thank you.

So as I can tell from what you have said you created a web server (published, sounds like SBS). You then installed a router in front of the web server and now nobody can access your server?\n\nThe router is natting your single IP 24.55.64.247 to the 192.168.0.x network. That is it's job. What you will have to do is open the ports you want (80) and point them at the internal server which you say is not at 192.168.0.100. I would note two things, one you need to set the server to be static IP on the 192.168.0.x network (192.168.0.10) and point the opened ports to that IP. Two you are using a dynamic IP from Adelphia it looks like which means your going ot get a new IP every now and then so people will have a hard time finding your server and it is probably against Adelpha's TOS to run a server.\n\nYou can get around the dynamic IP issues by using dyndns.org.


The store "experts" keep directing me toward cell phone headsets.  Will those work? If not, what should I buy?  I need to travel with it so I'd like it as small as possible.

A few years ago, I belonged to a lively forum. I was only one of about five people who did not care for a certain action among most of the forum members, which numbered in the hundreds. Soon, we opposers were attacked one by one, and driven out of the forum. I contacted the forum editor and discussed the posting rules with him. It turns out he was unwilling to do anything about this, so I resigned from the forum of my own free will. Since that time, I've been maligned repeatedly, mainly by one person, and have discovered his posts giving out my personal details, including my description, telling people to beat me up if they saw me in public! I never corresponded with this person outside the forum, nor within it. I've lost touch with the few posters I called friends. \nDo I have any legal recourse? The editor of the forum simply tells this person to knock it off for a short while, and he starts over again. Two years is more than enough time for this to be ended! Mature, this guy isn't!

If this person used your real name and/or address, and said malicious untrue things about you, I think you have a pretty good case for defamation (libel). \nI say, go for it.\n\nRead this article for more information:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libel


what is the technique,what is the grip,seam positon etc

So you want to know how to bowl an off-cutter to a right handed batsman.Well you should try the following:\nHold the ball between the thumb and the index and the middle finger.Remember that the portion with sticthes should be under your thumb.This is where you'll get the most grip.\nWhile Throwing the ball, just twist your thumb for a perfect spin.\nThe perfect seam position is to just picth a good length or a little over-pitched delivery just about 5-6 cms outside from the off stump.\n\nNow go and try it out kid!


Don't say it's the physical conditioning either.  I'm 41 and have no problem out doing a lot of people half my age.  What I mean is that to operate military machinery and be killed in action, why take an 18 year old who's had no chance yet and not take a voluntary older person who has?

I think the age cut off is due more to mental conditioning than physical.  When they put a soldier through boot camp, fundamental changes occur in the soldier's personality.  I don't know how well boot camp techniques would work on us old fellas.\n\nI can't get in either....same reason, so I do my best to help by serving in my state defense force and thanking every person in uniform I see.


am i gonna be able to have sex or kiss a girl in strip club? how much money do i have to pay to go to strip club?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but strip clubs have strict rules about the customer touching the girls..  And sex with the girls in the club is usually illegal..\n\nAlso, you wouldnt believe the training these girls get to separate the customer from their money...  They will make you believe that you have a shot at being their boyfriend, but it is only a trick to separate you from your money.\n\nStrip clubs are fun places to go with your friends, but only if you know that it is an illusion that will disappear the moment you walk away or run out of money...


Personally I dont like it all bald. Its gross like some little girls thing.

I have been shaving for over four years now.  I decided to try it on the suggestion of the guy I was seeing who preferred it shaved.  I have to admit that even though it requires extra time to maintain, I actually like it too.  I think it increases sensations during sex and from a hygiene point, I feel cleaner.


or say nothing and just pay it myself, you see after 2 years of doing this its nolonger funny, but the guy is a jerk so maybe continue or not what do you think?

How do you know what type of person it is and what you'll be getting yourself into?


Are you sexually active? If so you could be pregnant. But my guess is your not, so you should talk to you mom and go see your gyno.   Has it been more than a month because periods are sometimes irregular.


I'm 20. There's a guy who's 31 who I've hung out with. He's cute and all, and I didn't realize he was that old when we started hanging out. I'm starting to get that vibe - you know the one I'm talking about? - that we could be more than friends. Is the age difference gonna be a problem? I'm not 21 until almost a year from now.

O.K. So I was raised with the belief that it is wrong/sinful to dance. I realize that this is one of these gray areas in Christianity where an individual has to decide whether or not something is right or wrong based on their convictions. Give me your opinions as to why it is right or wrong (preferably with Biblical proof) to dance. It's not that I am looking for reasons for it to be alright for me to dance (I am by for to clumsy and uncoordinated anyway). I just want to be able to give people a better answer as to why I don't dance when they ask.

We see two kinds of dancing in Scripture. We see David dancing for joy before the Lord, nothing wrong with that. If you want to dance alone, like David, as worship to God then by all means do so. Remember, that if there is music involved, it should be music that would honor and please God.\n\nWe also see in Exodus 32:19 some dancing that was very displeasing to God. Read the chapter for yourself.

I dont have certain papers for adopted child.

As long as you have a Social Security Number, go ahead and fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov.  It asks a variety of questions, including how much your family can contribute to your education (which if filing for independence would be $0).  It also asks for your personal contributions, which would also be $0.  Depending on the school to which you apply, there are a variety of grants, both federal and institutionally-based that can help with your education costs.  But none of the work on it can really get started without the FAFSA.


Where have you registered? If a State trademark, it would've been with the Secretary of State. If a Federal trademark, then it would've been with the USPTO. If you didn't do either, then you do not have a trademark.\n\nPrior to filing, however, comprehensive research is needed to ensure that the name Bu-T-Full is truly available for your industry. \n\nTradeMark Express offers comprehensive research services & application preparation services.

is manutd slipping?\nwhich cup is it going to take?

never heard of any news about player leaving manchester united.. united did slip quite a lot earlier in the season, but they are becoming much much better now.. especially after the humiliating first round exit from the champions league where they were the group's firm favourite.\n\nnevertheless, on the current performance, i think manchester united should be good enough to take both the league cup and the FA Cup.. draw with burton albion was just a hiccup.. besides, only the youngsters played that day, apart from brown, silvestre and ole gunnar who havent played for quite some time.

ie: black suit pink shirt black tie, black shoes. should i wear pick socks? or black to match pants? old school was match shirt

Actually, old-school is match pants.\n\nSocks are a subtle (or, if they're pink, none-too-subtle) fashion statement.  If you're wearing pink socks with a black suit, then you're saying, "yes, I'm conservative enough to be wearing a black suit, but there's an iconoclastic part of me that's going to wear brightly colored socks anyway."  \n\nIt all depends on the shade of pink, natch.  But, if you're going to a job interview that requires decorum, I'd go with the black socks.

i want to know where is the city named CHINIOT ?

It's in Pakistan. Here's their weather forecast: http://weather.travel.yahoo.com/forecast/PKXX0001.html


Iceman, I think you're going to nail this one.

Well, Wrath, give me a day or so and I'll have enough time to answer ya.  I do remember the Power Pack - the kiddies reminded me of the stay-puft marshmallow man, with their cheesy cloud costumes.  So lemme get back to ya tomorrow!\n\nWell, well, The Runaways seem to be the new kids on the block, so to speak, in a relative time stream.  (Like 3 years ago.)  The Power Pack was the original Kids Next Door!  Wait, there's only 4 of them... \n\nAnyway.  The Runaways were kids of parents, kids who found out that their parents were actually supervillains!  *gasp*  So, they ran away, using or finding out information about their parents' abilities or powers... thus, getting their OWN powers or technology.  Gee, that's original!  (It truly is!)  \n\nThe members of the Runaways:\n\nNico Minoru - Current leader of the group. Carries the mystic "Staff of One," which allows her to cast spells, though never the same one twice. Went by the codename "Sister Grimm" during the first series run. \nChase Stein - Pilots the "Leapfrog," their ship. Originally possessed gauntlets known as "Fistigons" that can make fire in any form that Chase desires, although the Fistigons were destroyed by Nico Minoru when Alex Wilder used them against the Runaways. Was given the codename "Talkback." \nGertrude Yorkes - Possesses a genetically engineered deinonychus (whom she dubbed "Old Lace") under her telepathic control. Went by the codename "Arsenic." \nMolly Hayes - A mutant with super-strength, she grows sleepy after exerting herself or using her invulnerability. Was given the codename "Bruiser", although she'd rather be called Princess Powerful. \nVictor Mancha - The cyborg son of the robotic Avengers foe Ultron. He has electromagnetic abilities.\n\nThe members of the Power Pack:\n\nThe team is made up of siblings Alex, Julie, Jack and Katie Power. Alex received the power to control gravity; Julie, the ability to fly (leaving a rainbow-like trail behind); Jack, the ability to control his molecular density (allowing him to turn into a cloud, or shrink down) and Katie received the power to disintegrate matter, absorb energy and fire it as energy balls. They have changed powers on more than one occasion, and have had additional members.\n\nSorry, while the Runaways have the advantage in numbers, the Power Pack HAS fought in numerous battles with and against some MAJOR names... thus, they have extensive experience and should be able to shut down the Runaways easily.  Knowledge is power!

His face seemed bloated as well. On most of this seasons shows, so far, he seems more like his old self. I never heard anyone mention this but soemthing seemed wrong. I hope all is well with him. Anybody else notice? Thanks.

I did hear that he has been sick...he said that on the Oprah show. Something like kidney problems. Sorry I don't know more but yes, I did notice.


I have this reaccuring dream abot my husband going back to drinking.He was a very bad alcoholic,who had sesures when he withdrew from alcohol,they haunt me!

The dreams are related to your subconscious feelings about your situation.You should discuss them with your husband,since he is the subject of your dreams.Subconsciously there are still some hidden doubts and fears that need to be brought to the surface and examined.Talk it over with your husband and see what input you get.


What shall I say to her when we finally meet in mid February. Please help me with a good quote.

I am a navy wife, my husband goes on long deployments quite alot. You dont have to say anything at all. Just kiss her, hold her like you arent going to let go and say her name quietly. Thats all it will take. Believe me, I know. Besides, if my experience is anything, once you see her agian, you will not be able to say anythng anyway. You will be speechless and overwhelmed by emotion. So dont try too hard, cuz you will only draw a blank.


I've never been in a fight in my life, but there's a girl at school who seems determined to start a fight with me, and sooner or later i'll have to deal with it. any suggestions?

Real fight, no.. but I have taken boxing, kick boxing to be exact, and it was for a small amount of time.. but the first rule is defense.. keep your fists up, just below your eyes about 4 inches from your face, with your thumbs towards you, and thumb outside of the fist.. or you could break your thumb.\n\nWhen you punch, throw your shoulder into it, and knocking the wind out of them by a solid hit to the stomach will usually break them for a moment for you to say, "ok, enough, I don't want to fight, and you have had enough". Walk away.  \n\nIf she persists, go for the eye, not the nose, you don't want to have to pay doctor bills if you break the nose, and a good black eye will blur her vision and leave a mark of "don't mess will me". But always keep your hands up and ready to react in blocking..\n\nAnd girls don't fight fair when they are mad, or are just punks, be prepared for sucker punches when you least expect it, and for clawing, biting, and hair pulling...The dirty fighting can be bad, and whether anyone knows it or not girls have a "privates" sensitive area too.. same place as the men, that bone once hit, or kicked, hurts really bad.. don't use that one unless she just won't stop..(try to remember riding a boys bike for the first time and falling against that bar).. now thats pain that you can recover from, but it'll take a while.\n\n(Do not have your hair in a braid, or ponytail if you are going to fight, it gives them something easy to hold on to.)


are there chemical properties such as weight of the gas used, Specific heat, and expansion that makess nitrogen superior.If I had to buy a welding tankof any one gas which would be the best choice.

Nitrogen gas has a property that makes it especially "compressable" if that's a word. In pneumatic applications such as tires or shock absorbers Nitrogen is used because it is "spongier".


how cac I find out my husbands voice mail code? I know I sound stupid but I need to know

First off why are you needing this code? Are you suspecting him of cheating on you? If, so than usually you can call his service provider, providing you have all the information needed to verify that you are his wife. And more than likely if you are on his account you shouldn't have to worry about that, just say you need to change the code.

I am 45 yrs old and struggling to study (psychology in uni) as an adult student and to earn a living to pay for studies and just existing day to day.  i really feel like my goals are getting further away from me and i am no way closer to them then when i first started.  i would like to connect to people who have been down this road or going through it so that i know that i am not alone.  help if anyone can shine the light.

I don't have a suggestion, but hang in there!  It will pay off in the end and you will be extremely happy that you stuck with it.

Should we treat animals like people or a little less or?

Kindness and respect.  \n\nI think we have a responsibility to care for all animals with kindness and respect.  That includes the care and treatment of our pets as well as the care and protection of wildlife.  Although I often raise animals for meat, I believe that even an animal that is to be used for food should be treated with kindness and respect.  \n\nWhile I think that it is prudent to treat vegetable life with respect, I believe there is a difference.  Animals are living, breathing, thinking creatures.  They have relationships within their own social groups.  Many times within those groups other creatures rejoice in their birth, enjoy (and often share) their care, and mourn their passing.  Additionally, many of these creatures relate to us on terms we can appreciate and enjoy.  Therefore, they are valuable to others in their own group, as well as having value to us.  For that reason alone, their ability to "build" relationships, I feel we are ethically obligated to should show them kindness and respect them as living creatures.


Calculate the amount of heat (in kJ) needed to change 59.90 g ice at -17.87 oC to steam at 250.7 oC.\n(Some constants for H2O: Heat of fusion: 333 J/g; Heat of vaporization: 2260 J/g; Specific heats: Ice: 2.1 J/g.K, Water: 4.2 J/g.K, Steam: 2.0 J/g.K)

Note: I'm going to convert all the intermediate steps into kJ by dividing by 1000. I won't show that step.  \n\nFirst, let's find out how much heat it'll take to get the ice from -17.87 degrees to zero degrees, where it has to be in order to melt.  This is a change of 17.87 degrees.  (Because one degree Celsius and one Kelvin is the same size degree, they are interchangable.) We'll use the specific heat capacity of ice.  \n59.90 g ice * (2.1 J/g*K)*(17.87 K)=2248 J = 2.248 kJ\n\nNext, let's find out how much energy it would take to melt that ice at 0 degrees to water at 0 degrees using the heat of fusion:\n59.90 g ice * (333 J/g)=19950 J = 19.95 kJ\n\nNext, let's find out how much energy it would take to get the water from 0 to 100 degrees (so it can become steam) using the specific heat of water:\n59.90 g water * (4.2 J/g*K)*(100. K)=25160 J = 25.16 kJ\n\nNext, let's find out how much energy it would take to evaporate the water using the heat of vaporization: \n59.90 g water* (2260 J/g)=135400J = 135.4 kJ\n\nFinally,  let's find out how much energy it would take to get the steam from 100 to 250.7 degrees for a total change of 150.7; we will use the specific heat capacity of steam:\n59.90 g steam* (2.0 J/g*K)*(150.7 K)=18050 J= 18.05 kJ.  \n\nNow, just add up all of the heats required at each of these steps: \n2.248 kJ+19.95 kJ+25.16 kJ+135.4 kJ+18.05 kJ=200.8 kJ, with correct significant figures.


there was a discussion about this in my english class today and we watched an espn town hall debate about it on video and one of the arguments was that they SHOULD get paid because college sports has become a multi million dollar event and the colleges are getting millions of dollars because of these athletes, but the players themselves aren't getting any of the profit. comments on this?

They do get paid... It's called an education.


He is a sweet kid who seems a bit shy.  I know his profile for MySpace and i am friends with him.  Should i ask him out or wait for him?

if you have a mutual friend, have them tell him you are interested.  He can react with less embarrassment.


If I choose a already lived in one, how old is too old for a house?

I sell new homes for a living and I would say an older one.  But make sure you get a GOOD home inspector and warranty to ensure that everything is okay on/in the property and building.


i've been in love with the same guy for 3 years. He knows and at times makes me think that he likes me back and other times he does not. what should i do? should i get over him?   I REALY NEED HELP!!!

Be straightforward with him. Get him when he isn't busy and tell him you need to talk to him. Just say "hey buddy, you know that I love you. But I need to know if you feel the same way about me. If you don't please tell me, because I am not going to waste my time loving someone who doesn't love me back." Just say something similar to that. Good luck girl...

"we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter."

There are many file sharing (P2P) clients out there, however people use the ones they like more. I personally use LimeWire PRO because i find it more user-friendly and faster. \n\nAnother reason why i use it is because when you go to DOWNLOAD.COM you will see that LimeWire has the most number of downloads out of all the file sharing clients. That means, more people use it, and when more people use, the more your chances to get what you want when you search for something with it.


My laptop overheats and the screen won't come on. If it is shut down for awhile and turned back on it is fine. Is this a fan problem and if so what can I do to repair it without taking it in for repair? Can I order a part and replace it?

I would say you contact DELL, coz it could be a safety hazard issue here. They might even offer you a replacement in this case. Just try ur luck.


I am looking to buy a new laptop and i know very little about them or computers period for that matter. I'm looking for reliabilty more than anything else. I dont want to be fixing the damn thing up every two weeks. No screen problems, no crashing motherboards, no excessive overheating. I hope you guys can help!!! Thanks again. Also if you could give me a crash course on computer specifications and what exactly they mean. (gigahertz, pentium, celeron) what is all that a measurement of, and how should it affect me when i go to buy my notebook. What should i be looking for. I'll be using the notebook for internet and typing papers. Thanks guys!!!

I work on an HP Compaq NC6000 that work supplied me and I like it.  I've had it over a year. It's been reliable and fast.  My wife has owned a Toshiba for over three years.\n\nI surf the internet, play music on it, write technical papers, send e-mails, write programs, and run numerical analyses on it.\n\nBattery life could be better.  I can only go for about an hour and a half before the battery depletes.\n\nIf you are going to be taking notes in classes, you may want to get two batteries for it so you can get several hours of uptime without connecting to a power supply.\n\nThe rest of it ... Gigahertz, Pentium, Celeron, AMD really doesn't matter these days.  Almost any laptop will play DVDs (with a DVD player), CDs, etc plenty fast.\n\nIn fact, the lower the Gigahertz (the clock rate which at which the processor (AMD or Intel) ticks along), the longer your batter life may be.  Slowest Gigahertz you should go with is about 1.5GHz.\n\nI would make sure that the notebook has at least 512MB of memory, preferably 1GB.  This is important if you run several programs at once (e-mail, internet, music player, and word processor).  If you don't, things can slow down and wear down battery life faster as data is moved on and off disk.\n\nI would go with a 15" LCD.  17" is better if you are at your desk all the time, but if you are carrying the thing around a lot, the smaller display makes for a more compact laptop.  To each his own.\n\nAny brand-name laptop (HP, Dell, IBM, Toshiba) should do well to meet your requirements.


i mean, it's there for a reason. anyone think about posting info?

I'd rather not put up too much personal information on a website where just anyone could see it.  Although my answers will reveal some information about me, I've taken care to not give any really personally identifying information.


ive heard it isnt but i want to know for sure

I'd say no. Satanists are usually really open about their religious beliefs. There is nothing on the H.I.M. website that says they're satanic. \nBesides, even if they were, it wouldn't matter. It's just another religion.


Batista is a very good wrestler/entertainer, when THE ROCK left wrestling i really feel WWE was incomplete, but then Batista comes and change it all, but once again, will he continue entertaining/wrestling or his career is over ?

I remember when The Game Triple H in 2002 tore his quad he had surgery was off WWE for about 6 months but when he came back he looked stronger and more better. So I would guess that Batista will return better than ever and be the champ in no time.


I need to read a classic for my english class, but find them all so dreary. I did like Black Beauty and White Fang, but I can't read those, as I've already read them.

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is pretty good; there is some under-stated humor and lots of juicy stuff for essays. It has the best definition of courage I've ever read, too.


The problem with my family is that when I ask them if can go out with my friends like going to the movies or hanging out in the mall, their first answer is no. They know I'm responsible and mature for my age (13),but it's always the same answer. Sometimes I get so jealous with my friends because they can always go out whenever they want to. It's not fair. How can I encourage them to let me go on my own for once and become independent?

How old are your friends?  Being 13, your parents feel that you are much too young to be going out. If you really want to and as long as your friends are girls, maybe you could ask one of your parents to come along to chaperone.  Or maybe have one of their parents come along.  If they agree to do this, maybe after a while they may be willing to let you go alone with your friends. But remember, you must never break your trust with your parents. They are just concerned about your welfare.  Just so you know, I am a 49 year old parent and grandparent and I was just as concerned about my kids when they were growing up. Should you choose this advice, copy this and show it to your parents.  I'm sure they would agree if you had an adult parent going along with you and your friends as a chaperone.  They don't want to see you get in trouble which is very easy as a kid.  Good luck


It starts up normally then anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours later, all windows close and it says Windows is now shutting down. I have run a virus scan and found nothing. I have also deleted some programs I never use anymore & have tried to defrag but it shuts itself down before the defrag can be completed. Is there anything else i can do, or am i screwed?

If the computer shuts down a short while after trying to connect to the internet then it is probably a virus. To verify that, close your internet connection and leave your computer open. If the problem persists despite having closed your internet connection then it could mean a hardware problem. Use one of the freeware internet programs to monitor your computer's temperature. If all appears normal there, it might be another virus (check for abnormal processes or cpu usage at your process manager) or a recently installed DDR chip that does not quite agree with your computer or a software installation that did not complete quite succesfully. If none of the above is the case I should advise going to the hardware store from which you bought the computer and ask some professional advice


There's no gravity which means no sense of upside down and rightside up.

Our sense of balance is based on two things: our eyes and a gel located deep inside of our ears. This gel is the main controller of balance, and it relies on gravity to work. Why? Because gravity pulls it toward Earth, telling us which way is down. In space, gravity doesn't tug on that gel, letting it float around. When you spin around really fast, that gel is being flung against the sides of its container due to centripitale [sic] force, and you become dizzy. So in space when its floating around, the astronauts get very very confused!\n   However, over time while in space, the astronauts' brains override the gel's function, helping prevent even more cross-eyes and headaches.


Why all the effort for the sake of teeth, when there are problems in health care and homelessness and when it has been proven to do more harm than good?

I agree with you there really is no use for this anymore, education on tooth care has improved in our world of course maybe it is a presavative too or maybe it keeps all these docs in business so they lobby for it in the water cause we just keep getting sicker and sicker by a people


Where can I find Bennett Mechanical Competency s & t tests?

Bennett mechanical comprehension test:\nhttp://www.creativeorgdesign.com/testpages/bmct.htm\n\nWhen you need to determine quickly and surely if a job applicant has the aptitude to learn mechanical skills, you need the Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test.\n\nIN only 30 minutes, the BMCT results help you decide who is best suited for jobs requiring a grasp of the principles of operation and repair of complex devices. The 68 BMCT test items are presented in terms of simple, frequently encountered mechanisms and require no special knowledge. Items do require the application of a physical law or mechanical operation and focus on spatial perception and tool knowledge rather than manual dexterity.\n\nThe BMCT may be self-administered, read aloud by an examiner; or administered using a taped recording of the questions. You may administer it to a single applicant or a group. The first forms of the BMCT were prepared for use in the US military and many of the Allied countries. Current forms have been refined in more than 50 years of research and use. The manual was revised in 1994 and contains 18 new norms tables, based on cases collected in 1993 and 1994. Updated test booklets retain original items but have a contemporary look. Answer sheets and score keys have been redesigned to make them easy to use.


SOME PEOPLE SAY IT IS ONLY 6000 YEARS OLD, WHILE OTHERS HAVE SEEMED TO PHYSICALLY PROVEN THAT IT'S OVER 4 BILLION YEARS OLD.  WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?

The generally accepted age for the Earth and the rest of the solar system is about 4.55 billion years. I am not an expert on this matter, but I believe in science. If someday people find new convincing theories, I will be very open to accept them. But only 6000 years old? Come on, I don't buy it.


Would you rather tell your lover that you went to the dr and found out that you needed to be treated and that he/she also had to be treated for\nA-tapeworms or\nB-an std??\n\nI am just curious as to what would embarass people more.

yes you should tell him as soon as possible so he can get his treatment. my brother's ex wife was with another man a week before my brother and her met and they established a relationship they even got married, what she didn't tell my brother was that she had an std and she was getting treated for it and didn't tell my brother so he wouldn't worry so when they broke up 6 years later my brother found out he had an std and he was furious, he confronted her and all she said was I'm sorry. she knew and didn't say anything. So if I were you I would just tell him that I have an std at first so then you can explain better as you go


My first is a number, my second another, \nAnd each, I assure you, will rhyme with the other. \nMy first you will find is one-fifth of my second, \nAnd truly my whole a long period reckoned. \nYet my first and my second (nay, think not I cozen), \nWhen added together will make but two dozen.\nHow many am I?

You are twenty-four.\n\nFour rhymes with score.  Four is one-fifth of twenty.  Twenty-four hours are in a day.  Four plus twenty is twenty-four.  Took me some time BUT I GOT IT.\n\nEdit> I've never seen it before.


we weren't together for a very long time but i still miss him. he says that he still likes me but isn't ready for a relationship. he still calls me and i love talking to him but i'm worried that i won't get over him if i keep letting him be a part of my life.My friends keep telling me to get over him cuz he's just messing with my mind but i'm still confused. i don't know if i should just tell him i still like him or if i should just accept the breakup and move on. Oh! He hooked up with another chick the day after we brokeup but he told me cuz now we're "friends".

he was seeing her or cheating on you, hence how fast he moved into the relationship, she was waiting in the wing, dump the chump ( thnkz to the nik for that cute saying ), he's talking to you to keep his option option for a sex buddy ( so he can cheat on his new squeeze ), don't EVER talk top him no more, move on, make new friends ( male or female ) and leave him in your soon to be distant past.


is it really that hard for people from other countries to get into America?  Why can't they just come here and when they get here apply for citizenship?  Why do foreigners need visas and all this junk to get in when we americans can go to any country (except like cuba and iraq)?

It really is that hard to get into America. Which is why US citizens are often so sought after in other countries. (Can you say green card?) I am middle-aged and still get suprise (and often hilarious) marriage proposals from men I barely know when I travel (it's that magic American passport) If a person can marry an American, they will be able to come to America. \n\nIt's hard for us, as Americans, to understand sometimes that the "American dream" is still out there. There is a scene in the musical, "Miss Saigon" that I think captures that illusive American image and dream all too well...if you get a chance to see that show, do yourself a favor and go. It's wonderful.\n\nI am trying to get a VISA for a 12 year old girl to come to America for summer camp in June. It's almost impossible now.\n\nI wonder if while things have changed for us Americans in America, they haven't changed much in the world's eyes. America is still the land where hopes and dreams can come true to most people out there. \n\nAnd, I do think, after traveling to so many countries, being an American is a privilege.

I bought it around there and sold it maybe a week ago.  I tell you what, I don't believe in satellite radio.  With these MP3's growing ever more market share, the only thing satellite radio truly has are radio personalities to keep revenue up in a market that is way too challenging to be offering commercial free music as the biggest seller.\nOn top of that, last time I checked, Sirius has a higher market-cap than XM, which is taken by most to be the brand-name in satellite radio.  The only hope sirius stock owners have is to have a stellar car season this spring (which they won't have).  Don't forget, around December or November sirius was selling for literally half of what you bought it at.  Get out and get into AAPL while it's still cheap.

prayer is a very powerful thing and there are some many people out there who blieves in pray but why dont they do it?

Maybe everyone's form of prayer is different. I was brought up catholic and was taught a specific way to pray but I've long abandoned that and simply have a one on one with the man upstairs when I'm in a position to fully appreciate the beauty of the creation before me, like when I'm walking in the park and the sun is setting or when the waters of a lake are so still it seems like someone laid a giant mirror on the ground. I also write on my computer and confide to God all the things I would a very close friend. Prayer doesn't have to be on your knees with your hands folded. It can be as simple as a thought. Possibly even an action. I think many people have forgotten to seek God within ourselves rather than extrovertly.


If it's just sex then great, but really what they hell do you guys like????

How fast do winds have to be before they are categorized as hurricane force?In the mountains surrounding me the other day had winds as fast as 100 mph. Wouldn't that classify as hurricane force? It sounded pretty powerful to me.

yes hurricane winds are regulated by the Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane intensity.  which has five levels of intensity ranging from category 1-5 \n\ncategory 1 75-95 sustained wind\ncategory 2 96-110 sustained wind\ncategory 3 111-130 sustained wind\ncategory 4 131-155 sustained wind\ncategory 5 156+ sustained wind\n\nGusts are also associated with huricanes and can reach about 215 mph in category 5 hurricanes.\n\nthe strength of a hurricane is dependant on the lowest barometric presure inside of the storm.  The strongest hurrican of record is hurricane wilma from the 2005 hurricane season, when it reached a barometric pressure of 882 mb.

I've been reading about this Alito guy but I don't understand why is such big news. From what I understand he's being interviewed for Judge of the Supreme Court. Is there a piece of information I've missed? Why is that such big news? It just seems like a regular political process.

It is a regular political process.  True, the parties are bickering as usual, but there has always been controversy surrounding new Supreme Court justices.  If everyone's political party was swiched (Bush would become a Democrat, for example), the exact same ranker would be going on.  Justices are the top echelon of the legal system, so they are very important.  Also, they are appointed for life, so you had better make sure you're picking the right guy.  Unfortunately, Mr. Alito is being confirmed during a particularly nasty period of political polarization, so many of the questions and issues aren't real questions, they're sensationalist propaganda from both sides of the isle.  In case you missed the memo, abortion is NOT the only legal question of the day, yet that seems to be what most of the fuss is about.  Lastly, since they are appointed for life, this man has the potential power to influence American jurisprudential thought for perhaps the next 30 or 40 years.  Needless to say, he'll be making rulings long after Bush is gone, and the next guy, and the next guy. He'll also survive Republicans losing their majority in Congress, then gaining it, then losing it, etc.  So essentially, theres a big fuss because they are getting ready to install someone who is going to effecting law (and by extention politics) for many years to come.  I personally think the Court will be fine with Alito because, unlike the talking heads on CNN and FoxNews who seem fixated on abortion and other trivial matters, I've been watching the hearings live and reading the transcripts (I'm a law student), and he actually seems less polarizingly conservative and more qualified than even Republicans are admitting to.


I have done some research on it and it turns out alot of people are having the same problem, if you have found a cure for this file plz let me kno

For spyware solutions, Spybot is great.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, consider defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en

If your a medical assistant in Illinois, I hope I never get sick there! Your English and typing and choice of vernacular are appalling!


I heard a while ago that a few dozen SWORDS robots were sent to Iraq to see if they could perform better than humans

Yes, they should and they will. Of course at first, they couldn't replace humans' role in war and the cost of using robots (production and maintenance) will be very expensive. But as time goes by, eventually robots will replace humans in war (just like guns slowly replace swords in war).\nBesides, utilizing robots in war can descrease casualities, so why not?


It takes Scandisk about 13 or 14 hours to do a full thorough scan of my 40 Gig HD.  A large portion of this, I feel, is the fact that it restarts a lot.  This happened with a previous computer of mine, though the HD was only 1 gig, so it was never an issue.  I often close down all applications except for Explorer and it still does this.  Says something about "drive's contents changed, restarting"

Another thing you can do is boot your computer into "safe mode" by holding down F8 when you start it up.  Once in safe mode, make sure your screen saver is turned off.  Your other startup items shouldn't startup.  You should be able to safely defrag without programs running in memory interfering with the process.


I find my self eating a whole lot more during weekends. Not sure about the cause of it. But I heard boredom plays a major part.

No ...in fact less in my case.\n\nI've allways thought that is better to care my body for he cares of me ...when I'm needs him...\n\n;)


When I run spybot I never can get through fixing my problem that are detected without it stopping and reading proram not responding when it says I have problems,whereas Norton says everything is fine,and Registry repair says I have a whole lot of problems.

That could be a problem due to many programs running on you computer. Try adding more memory on your computer (RAM). I do recommend having 512MB of RAM. If money would be the reason, then trying doing this:\n\n1. Click on START and go to RUN\n2. type msconfig on the run command and click ok\n3. Go to START UP tab and uncheck the unnecessary programs that you think are not needed by your computer.\n4. Restart PC and observe if your pc would go faster, normally it would. I've done it already and it helped.\n\nI have a pentium III 667MHz machine at home with 320MB of ram and it runs fast coz i've minimized the number of programs running on my start-up list.\n\nGood luck


I'm adicted to this kids game & I'm dying to know if other adults play as well.

Yes, I play like a madman,  I'm a grown adult as well whos has kids that play, and I got hooked on it.\n\nIt may be a kids game, but it has the role playing aspects of other more 'adult' games that give the same desire to better your character, etc...
