well someone in my family had a motorcicle acedent and he was wearing a helmet but now he is handicapt .

Depends on the model. My little Kawa can go significantly faster than it is allowed on most Northamerican roads. From my experience in other countries:\nA Ninja can easily run as fast as 150 miles per hour, sometimes even more.\nRiding a motorbike that fast becomes extremely stressfull very fast. 100 mph is a pretty safe upper limit to ride your bike when there is no speed limit.\n\nRegarding the consequences of the accident of your friend I have two things for you to think about:\n* What do you think would have been his chance of survival without a helmet?\n* Which kind of helmet did he wear? And how old was the helmet?\nHelmets with plastic shells will lose part of their protective capabilities when older than 5 years due to slow disintegration of the material. Helmets with metal shells do not absorb shock very well.


Subject: Starbucks Denies Coffee to Marines !! \n     Starbucks Denies Coffee to Marines !! \n \n      Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let them \n      know how much they liked their coffee and to request that they send some of it \n      to the troops there. \n \n      Starbucks replied, telling the Marines thank you for their support of  their business, but that Starbucks does not support the war, nor anyone in it, and that they would not send the troops their brand of coffee. \n \n      So as not to offend Starbucks, maybe we should not support them by buying any of their products! \n \n      As a war vet writing to fellow patriots, I feel we should get this out in the open. I know this war might not be very popular with some folks, but that doesn't mean we don't support the boys on the ground fighting street-to-street and house-to-house for what they and I believe is right. \n \n      If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can discard it and no one will never know. \n \n      Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there again when I deploy once more. \n \n      "Semper Fidelis." \n      Sgt Howard C. Wright \n      1st Force Recon Co \n      1st Plt PLT

If this is true, I'll no longer go there,,I do not support war but I sure the heck do support the men over there, including my hubby who won't be back for eleven months,,,,they did not ask for this and sure the heck don't wanna be there...god bless and thanks for supporting our country...stay safe


I would like to use my own pictures to do something funny like the 'If They Mated' skit on Conan O'Brien.  Is there some program or some company I can submit my pictures to that can do this? Thanks!

(1)A trip to the ocean can be a relaxing escape from the everyday pressures of life.(2)A sailboat glistening on the horizon provides a mental escape to faraway places.(3)The rhythm of the ocean beating against the sand is sedating music to a troubled mind.(4)A slow gentle breeze can relax your tensions.(5)You should always be careful to avoid overexposure to the sun at the beach.(6)The next time youneed a calming experience, escape to the ocean and let it relax you.\n\nA. sentence 1\nB. sentence 3\nC. sentence 4\nD. sentence 5

D. All of the sentences except this one are related to how you can become relaxed by going to the ocean/beach. Sentence D is about avoiding sunburn.


that child that played Stephanie Tanner on Full House?

Jodie Sweetin graduated from Los Alamitos High School in 1999 and attended Chapman University in southern California from 1999-2003. She majored in mass communications, looking forward to a show business career in teaching acting.\n\nSweetin also did a few guest appearances on TV shows, such as Party of Five, Brotherly Love, and Yes, Dear, after Full House ended. She currently resides in Los Alamitos, California.\n\nSweetin married police officer Shaun Holguin on July 27, 2002. In 2006, she told Good Morning America that she was in the process of a divorce. While on GMA, she also revealed that she voluntarily checked herself into rehab in March 2005 to recover from a methamphetamine addiction. She also said she'd like to return to acting in movies or television.


One day while studying for semester exams, my friend asked me out of the blue whether I had a crush on another friend of mine. I told her I knew I liked him as a friend but I had never really thought about it as anything more.\n\nThat was a few months ago. Now I realize I really do like him, but I'm afraid he might have been told that I don't. He gradually stopped calling me and now I rarely get the chance to talk to him at school.\n\nHow can I turn things back around and let him know without making it too obvious and creeping him out, just in case I'm wrong? (i'm a bit shy and inexperienced when it comes to this stuff and making a move just seems too big of a step for me right now)

Casually call him up...say "Hey it's been forever, I miss ya, lets get together and do something" Get him out and talking and casually bring up what the other friend asked you. Get the conversation going and see how it leads. Best of luck.


the wife is taking me to a music awards program. The tickets state semiformal. what should I wear?

could mean suit instead of black tie affair, or it could be that you could wear a nice pair of dress pants with a button down shirt and a tie.  i would probably stay away from jeans.


I have a problem with my heels which has gotten worse since I've moved to a beach town in California.  My heels are cracked and sore and the skin very rough.  Dirt gets embedded in the cracks and even scrubbing with a brush doesn't help much.  I've tried to be careful to wear shoes and to use hand lotion, but nothing seems to help.  Anyone with a similar problem?

I used to get that and it comes back when I wear sandals in the summer. I need to keep socks on and use an oil, like Vaseline or baby oil to soften the skin and then to keep it moisturized. Lotion won't do it.\nIt takes a while to get it to clear up so be patient and persistent.


Could you please suggest some good websites which could assist me to prepare for GMAT?

I have a small discoloration on my knee with 2 perfectly centered little puncture wounds inside it. It hurts! If you need to see pictures, I can show you lol.

Maybe, maybe not. There are alot of insects (ugh) that are crawling or flying around that could leave the same marks.  However, if it even looks like it is starting to rot (for lack of a better word), PLEASE don't delay.  Get to the ER ASAP!!!!!!!I have heard that brown recluse spider bites aren't really noticed as you usually do not know that you have been bitten.  Do a web search on brown recluse spider bites.  I ran across a site one time - wish I could remember the URL.  It had pages and pages of Pictures of people that had been bitten by a brown recluse. They rate each and every one of them.  The ratings are from a 1-5. Of course 5 being the grossest things you will ever want to see.  You can also send your picture of the place where you have been bitten and they will be able to tell if it was indeed a brown recluse.  Good Luck.....

IAS that means a collector job by giving MPSC

IAS if it is "Indian Administrative Services" requires you to be a graduate in any discipline.  \n\nIt is not a requirement that you have to study a particular group or subject to become an IAS officer.\n\nEngineers (B.Tech), Commerce Graduates (B.Com), Doctors (M.B.B.S), Arts graduates (B.A.) .... all are at the same level for this exam..\n\nThere will be a special exam for recruitments to these posts... generally called "civils" which will be in two stages.. \n\nA PRELIMINARY \nTesting your skills in general knowledge and a core group you choose for being tested.. This test will be objective..\n\nBased on the number of job positions available, examinees are qualified in a certain ratio for the final exam....\nSay if there are 1200 vacancies, if they intend to qualify in the ratio 1 : 13 around 15,600 candidates will be qualified for the final exam.

They always seem to get their way just by being stupid. They don't even realize that they are just like anybody else. Who thinks that I am right on this one? People get put down because of them. How rude!

People who think they are better than others, havenot learned of GOD's love. Since I beleive we all came from GOD, how can one be better than another? I feel with age, and much lessons in life, one learns not to be judgemental with any one. We are all here for the same reason, but some think they are better because they arenot really sure of themselves and to compensate that their ignorance, they make others feel bad to try to make themselves feel better.

Ok. THere is this guy in one of my classes and he says that he thinks that i am cute. one day he gave me 6 red roses. One day he sent me an email on basically his whole life story. just to shorten it up it was really bad. After reading that, i am not even interested in him. It seems that he is sort of stocking me by not in a bad way. He keeps asking me for my number by i don't want to give it to him. Also he wears hats all the way down to his eyes and some days along with his hat he wears a BLACK HOODE. The people i have talked to says that he is a drugee. He will not leave me alone i don't want to hurt his feelings because i feels like he likes me. which he says to me alot.\nWHAT SHOULD I DO?

Listen to your gut instincts and explain in short to him that you have no interest in him as anything other then maybe a friend if he won't except that then you may need to get some help from your friends and family if you feel like he is stalking you Good Luck and Be Careful


This dumb "war" that has no meaning, the stupid press forcefeeding crap down our throaghts?  The white house administration full of Shi*?  Not being able to believe a single word that a single person says?  Not trusting my own neighbor?  Being poor?  \n\nThis country is falling apart and people just sit and watch as it happens while our government is distroying us for money.  \n\nIs anyone else tired of this crap?  I'm DONE, stick a fork in me.  I'm not saying a drastic wave of world peace, but common . . enough is enough already.  I'm sick of being trapped in a whirlpool of meaninglessness.

I think looking realistically about the good and the bad of our current administration we are more vulnerable to hatred of other people more than ever before in the history of our nation.\n\nI think going to war is meaningless. It solves nothing! Religions in the Middle East are fanatical and the United States does not belong there. Democacy is a great idea but you cannot impose it on people whose way of life is hatred for its fellow man.\n\nThey have been brainwashed for thousands of years and you cannot and will not change their way of life. It is and was a mistake for us to try to gain a foothold in that part of the world.

to electocute you? Say the kite is about 500 yards away and the string is made of nylon or whatever they make kite string out of. Would enough electricity be able to pass through that string to hurt you? Or would the string just catch on fire and break before and electricity can reach you?

Let us go back to ben franklin. When he was flying a kite in a thunderstorm, He attached a key to the string, and then tied a silk cord to the string. Touching the key he received a shock, proving the electrical charge from lightning traveled the string. Obviosly the wetness of the string had something to do with it, as dry string will not conduct. Power lines carry a variety of voltages, 7500 to 24,000 volts. Notice that birds can sit on the lines unhurt. They are not connected to ground (return path for electricity).  In a commercial area of 14, 000 to 24,000 volts, there may be enough EMF (electromotive force or voltage) to push the current down the string to you and then GROUND. Bottom line - dont take chances, donmt fly kites near power lines.


First of all depending on the situation because if he is being presistant it is not good, cus he could turn into a stalker. If he being presist in persueing you should tell your boyfriend and if he keeps on 911 girl.


I'm wanting to find cute/sweet poetry about Jack and Sally from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas

I don't know if you already know or not, but The Nightmare Before Christmas was based on a poem previously written by Tim Burton. You can buy it on Amazon- it has the same name ("The Nightmare Before Christmas"). The thing not many people know about Tim Burton is that he's a wonderful lyricist and poet. He also wrote "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy" whcih is a collection of macabre poems. His poetry is beautiful and you'll definately enjoy it. I love this movie too and pretty much anyhting about Tim Burton or Danny Elfman (composer of the songs from Nightmare and singing voice of Jack Skellington) so I hope you have fun!


Maybe a few pictures, charts, or graphs would be very useful.

Does this really belong in "Botany"?  Or are you just unclear on the chlorophyll concentration in the average human hand?


I am doing my homework but I cannot find suitable software for creating linear graphs and equations. Where can I find software for my algebra?

Well, if you're using Microsoft Office, Excel provides many chart and graphic options.\nStatistical software also provide those functions, but they're really expensive.\nHere's a link for some software. Some are free, and others are shareware or have free demos that might serve you:\nhttp://dmoz.org/Science/Math/Software/Graphing/

Two kids go across, one kid comes back, one parent goes across, kid goes back, two kids go over, one kid goes back, one parent goes over, one kid goes over, two kids go acroos, THE FAMILY IS ACROSS!

Ok so you know Chicago can't beat Detroit or Miami or San Antonio in the playoffs right? Why not let those guys who were riding the bench all year play the last 15-20 games of the season? Won't this give them valuable playing experience and showcase their talents? Also giving the team the chance at a better player in the draft. Come on think guys!!!!

Just because they can't win the championship doesn't mean they should stop giving 100% in every game. They have to keep on trying their best even if they just make the playoffs, that's still an accomplishment. If every team that had no chance at winning the championship just gave up the NBA would no longer have any fans because games like that would be incredibly boring


I wear a size 11 and 1/2!! Pretty big for a chick, I know!! Bet I could beat you in shoe size!!

It has the words "16 fathoms down" in it and I thought that was the name.  Does anyone know the name?  "16 fathoms down lies the gold" \nAnd when it was out on a single, I can not remember the other side but I know I loved it too.  Hey, I will never know if I don't at least ask.  I have tried checking on Yahoo Music Engine and a few other sites also.  And I have run searches for Burls Ives songs.  I know he sang it though!

You are correct about the title "Sixteen Fathoms Down" performed by Burl Ives and written by Mel Tillis  It was orginally on the 1962 album "It's Just My Funny Way of Laughin'" which is out of print and not on CD. Used copies of it can be found on the net.\n\nI can't find any reference of the single, though that doesn't mean it didn't exist. The flip side was probably on the same album. The songs on that LP were Funny Way of Laughin', Sixteen Fathoms Down, Brooklyn Bridge, Ninety-Nine, Thumbin' Johnny Brown, I Ain't Comin' Home Tonight, What You Gonna Do Leroy?, In Foggy Old London, That's All I Can Remember, Mother Wouldn't Do That, Poor Little \nJimmie, and Call Me Mr. In-Between.\n\nSixteen Fathoms Down is included in the boxed set "A Little Bitty Tear: The Nashville Years 1961-1965" on the Bear Family label.\nHere's a link - you can order it here or listen to a clip. It's track 27 on disc 1\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000001B0D/qid=1141356467/sr=11-1/ref=sr_11_1/104-6221229-3806318?n=5174


I've heard that once every seven years all of the atoms that make up our bodies are replaced.  You know, we eat food and drink water every day and then we lose waste products and skin flakes and hair and the like.  If the atoms in our body aren't replaced once every seven years, then are they ever fully replaced at any time in our life?  I mean, are there any atoms that we are born with that we actually keep throughout our lives?

It is possible that an atom or two might stay with us, but it is unlikely to occur in any sizeable quantity.  The seven year estimate is also just that- an estimate.


I can not find a web site for it and I have been trying to check it for my credit score, if it exsists why cant we check it

Novus was previously part of the Discover Card/Sears network.  You know those little symbols at ATMs that indicate which credit card networks they accept?  (There'll be little icons for Cirrus, Visa, etc.)  It used to be that NOVUS was the symbol that was listed there.  Now it's generally the Discover symbol or something similar.\n\nTo the best of my knowledge, Novus never was a credit reporting agency, but it would've been a creditor.  Consequently, you could have items on your credit report that were reported by Novus.


we have 17mth old bb and he only comes home to sleep and leaves again!!!!! working 70+ a week!!!!


My wife and I are a mature married couple . We have been married for 39 yrs. I love my wife and would never leave her she means to much to me .We do not have the same enthusiasm with sex as we did when we were younger . I think the only she is willing to have sex is that once every 2 or 3 months she getts horny enough to have sex with me . For the past 3 1/2 to 4 years whenever we have sex I'm unable to climax or ejaculate . After an hour or more of foreplay ,and intercorse she is satisfied and finish but I'm still hanging ! She is apologetic but never offers to help me climax . Latter or the next day I use porn and masterbate to relieve myself . We started marriege counseling 4 wks ago but i'm not looking for any miracles here . Don't know what to do , I know right from wrong but I need some relief .

Let the counseling take its course.  Sometimes it takes a while and this is early to consider alternatives.    \n\nDont let this board or any other individual or group influence you to do someting you might regret.  I would normally answer a question like this very sarcastically, but your seem very sincere.  You will still be responsible for your actions even if you let Yahoo Ansers make up your mind for you\n\nSexual surrogacy  (legitimate) has its place in the lives of some (very open minded) people, but only in certain situations and only with competant supervision. Consider this, or something like it only if your counseler suggests it.  Be carefull if it comes from your wife, you still may pay dearly if you go thru with it.  And it should allways involve both of you.  \n\nOn the other hand.  Have you and your wife discussed this, alone or with the counselor?  Is she sympathetic to the way you feel?  Open minded?  If she cares, you have discussed it, and she is willing to try -  Within her boundries there must be ways to get her interested or get you satiated.  Bringing in a third or a couple is probably a last choice.  \nWhatever you do, discuss it at length and be sure you know what is and is not okay to do.

Husband says that why are you thinking about others when I love you so much? wife says I cant control my dreams, whats true?

You can't choose what you dream about.  Your friend is insecure with himself.  He needs to understand that his wife loves him and its not like she is actually in contact with the sportsman so he has nothing to worry about.  On top of that, its not like she's acting on these urges.


hi anyone knows the good websites for researching academic journals??\ncheers..

In what field of study?  More information is necessary in order to answer this question.


Need to know what the requirements are for obtaining financing from U.S financial institutions for purchasing property in Mexico, and in particular, the Lake Chapala area.  Also need to know which title companies (ie. Stewart Title) are associated with the these financial institutions and contact information for both.

My understanding is that non-Mexican citizens cannot actually purchase Mexican land. They can only get long term leases. You can build on the land, and the leases are sometimes 100 years, but no actual ownership. This may be of no use to you, but I'll be watching this question too for additional info for my own purposes. Good luck.


I have an opportunity to buy a 10 unit rental property on Broadway at what I am told is a substantial discount.

Browse www.loopnet.com. For free you can do a limited search for other commercial properties for sale in your area and the cap rates. \n\nTo get full access to loopnet you will have to pay.\n\nGood Luck

Nope, and I don't plan to. I don't want to just be another teen statistic. I refuse to be. I hate it that everyone thinks all teens are drinking, smoking, doing drugs, or having sex. And the media is mostly to blame. So, yeah. Excuse that little rant...I'm 13 about to be 14...

Please Why is it suppose to be such a good book ?

because at the end you discover that holden(the main character) was in a mental hospital.and he'd told all the story while he was in there.also its forbidden to be taught in schools in us. because holden is a really bad example for teenagers and he has a very believable language whch makes you to think like holden was a real person and what he did was right.


WHen i went to go and log in to my e-mail on yahoo i couldnt it said wrong password and i tried forgot password thingy and i entered my info write there and they changed it...so know i cant even try to get in they changed my birthdate and everything what do i do i had that e-mail for 6 years and all my contacts are on there! someone please help me

you should report this to yahoo or whatever your internet provider is. ask them abou it, then change your email and everything. you should also warn your friends. the hacker might have taken their info too.


bcoz after watching the movies wether they watch free or hidenly from their parents ..... i dont know why they showing all these where this very much unesessory

I think...\n\n1) Saying "Hollywood" as a whole is responsible is lumping a very large group of people and tastes into one stereotype. Not every movie features gratuitious sex or nudity and its not fair to generalize in this way.\n\n2) Due to certain amendments in our constitution, what a certain person should or should not do in a movie is completely up to them, and out of any purview of any government regulation. (Of course, this ends the minute it gets on TV, and then the FCC gets involved, and I don't want to get started on that topic right now.)\n\n3) Not all sex is gratuitious, the human form can be a beautiful thing, and I don't understand why someone would be perfectly fine with letting their 5 year old watch thousands of people die in horrible violence, but one nipple shows up on screen and they're apparently scarred for life.\n\n4) bCoz is not a word.


I just create a new company and want to get some advise and guidance on how to run it. So, I am wondering if anyone can suggest a mentor. Thanks

You can go to  your local SCORE office http://www.score.org/ - they are a group of volunteers who offer for free mentorship and give advice to small business owners. They are well experienced professionals and retirees who have years of experience in launching and growing a small business.\n\nYour local Small business development center = go to your favorite search engine and search for "[your state] SBDC"\n\nIf you are a woman, you can also go to your local Women's Business Center. Here is a PDF file of state-by-state locations of these centers http://www.onlinewbc.gov/wbc.pdf\n\nYou can also network and join in your local business groups such as Chamber of Commerce. By being actively involved in the organization, you are more likely to find someone who can give you guidance in your business.


I'm in Honors Biology but I couldn't find this anywhere. Thanks in advance for the answers.

Well, i'm a cell and molecular biology student so my answer is more to do with cancer and differentiation\ndifferentiation is the proliferation of cells, EG/ you start with 1 cell in humans, then meiosis results in 4 daughter cells and then these cells keep dividing until you get a foetus and then a human (3 X 10-14 cells). Cancer is a disease of differentiation. stem cells are pluripotent, undifferentiated but determined. the different stages of differentiation are: 1. TOTIPOTENT, 2. PLURIPOTENT, 3. MULTIPOTENT, 4. UNIPOTENT. hope that helped

City History \n\n  Prior to the arrival of Spanish expeditions en route from Mexico, peaceful tribes of Native Americans inhabited the lush Santa Clara Valley. Under Spanish and Mexican jurisdictions, instituted in 1778, a vast region that includes present day Morgan Hill was one of the most substantial Spanish land grants for nearly three quarters of a century.\n\nIn 1845 Martin Murphy, Sr. acquired 9,000 acres known as the Rancho Ojo de Agua de la Coche. Murphy had been a leader of the first party of pioneers to cross the Sierra Nevada range at Truckee Pass, later to become the route for the Southern Pacific Railroad. The Murphy family made its home in the valley below El Toro Mountain. By 1870 Martin's seven sons and daughters had managed to acquire more than 70,000 acres.\n\nIn 1851 the youngest son, Daniel, married Maria Fisher, heiress to the neighboring 19,000 acre Rancho Laguna Seca. Diana, their precocious daughter secretly married Hiram Morgan Hill in 1882. When Daniel Murphy died, Diana inherited 4,500 acres of their original rancho in the shadow of El Toro.\n\nDiana and Hiram Morgan Hill built their estate, the Villa Mira Monte, between the railroad and Monterey Road in 1886. When the first Southern Pacific station was built in 1898, the railroad referred to this area as Huntington. Many visitors would request the train stop at "Morgan Hill's Ranch," changing the name to Morgan Hill.\n\nBy 1896 the growing community had a population of 250 with a post office, depot, two hotels, a restaurant, and several churches and shops. There was much controversy over the incorporation of the city. The Times printed many editorials supporting the issue, while those opposed were fearful of higher taxes. But the "yes" vote won by a margin of 65-36 and Morgan Hill became incorporated November 10, 1906. By 1909 the population rose to 1,000.\n\nThe first school was built in 1894, but was soon outgrown and in 1907 architect William Weeks designed a new school. By the 1920s the City was known for its agricultural products including prunes, apricots, peaches, pears, apples, walnuts, and almonds. The region boasted prosperous vineyards until Prohibition demanded that production temporarily cease. Around the 1950s Morgan Hill experienced an economic transformation from an agricultural center to a suburban residential community. Growth began to accelerate rapidly in the 1970s as Silicon Valley developed and workers were attracted to Morgan Hill's small town atmosphere, sense of community and reasonable housing prices. On November 3, 1973 the Morgan Hill Civic Center and library were proudly dedicated to the community of 7,000. By 1980 the population increased to approximately 18,000 residents. Currently, 36,000 citizens call Morgan Hill their home.\n\nMorgan Hill is located in southern Santa Clara Valley, approximately 12 miles south of San Jose, 10 miles north of Gilroy, and 15 miles inland from the Pacific Coast. The Valley is approximately 4 miles wide and is surrounded by the Santa Cruz mountain range to the west, and the Diablo mountain range to the east. Parks and open spaces abound, making Morgan Hill one of the last communities in the region with a charming, small town atmosphere.


Well I really don't know! NOW DONT GO CRASY ON ME PEOPLE SOME OF YOU LIKE TO GO OFF PAGE AFTER PAGE DONT BULL SHIT TELL ME WAHT YOU THINK AND THAT IS THAT!!!

Yes it is  well documented that we did.\nIt really would have been impossible to fake. and even more impossible to conceal a hoax of that magnitude for this long.\n\nThere is a vast deal of technology that came from the space  program .\nThe Apollo spacecraft was seen during its trans-Lunar coast by observers on Earth. Amateur astronomers were able to sight the spacecraft, exactly where they should have been, during the trans-Lunar coast and amateur radio operators were able to listen-in on the command module in Lunar orbit. The explosion of Apollo 13 was caught on video tape by an amateur astronomer. Russia and radio telescope observatories not owned or controlled by the USA also tracked the Apollo spacecrafts and transmissions.

Squaring half an even number and adding the odd number next to it gives the same result as one-fourth of the square of the even number next to it. Explain.\n\n^_^ ^_^easy...

>>Squaring half an even number and adding the odd number next to it gives the same result as one-fourth of the square of the even number next to it. Explain.<<\n\nx = even number\nx + 1 = "odd number next to it"\nx + 2 = "even number next to 'it' (odd number x + 1)"\n\n(x/2)^2 + (x + 1) ?= ((x + 2)^2)/4\n(x^2)/4 + x + 1 ?= (x^2 + 4x + 4)/4\n(x^2)/4 + x + 1 ?= (x^2)/4 + (4x)/4 + (4)/4\n(x^2)/4 + x + 1 = (x^2)/4 + x + 1\n\n*Also,* you need to prove it going in descending order, since "next to it" doesn't imply the numbers always ascend:\n\nx = even number\nx - 1 = "odd number next to it"\nx - 2 = "even number next to 'it' (odd number x - 1)"\n\n(x/2)^2 + (x - 1) ?= ((x - 2)^2)/4\n(x^2)/4 + x - 1 ?= (x^2 - 4x + 4)/4\n(x^2)/4 + x - 1 ?= (x^2)/4 - (4x)/4 + (4)/4\n(x^2)/4 + x - 1 <> (x^2)/4 - x + 1 -- (check your signs)\n\nI'm not sure that statement is true as written. It only works for numbers in ascending order.


just looking for a good lcd monitor for the right price. preferably a 17in. or greater.

You should look at the resolution, brilliance, contrast and response time.\n\nFor image processing, the contrast factor is very important.   I would say at least 500:1 \n\nIf you play video games, response time is crucial. It should be as small as possible. 12 ms at most.\n\nIf your computer has a graphics card with a DVI output, then  I recommend that you look for an LCD monitor that has a DVI input.\n\nLook also for companies that offer three years (or more) manufacturer guarantee.


I try and try, but either I get shot down, or end updating someone that is either crazy or not looking for the same type of relationship I am. What am I sopposed to do?

I loved Duran Duran and Wham and then George Michael after he went solo... but my tastes have changed.  I love more classic rock now and more varied things than I ever did back then.  Do you find that your musical tases have changed since high school?

I loved Duran Duran, Wham, and George Michael.  I have pretty much the same tastes in music but adding more artists to it.  Wake me up, before you go go........


I am hearing that only through June, that past consolidators stuck in the higher interest rates can get lower interest rates.  And that this window of opportunity closes in June.

Nothing "new" is in effect now that hasn't been in effect for the past few years. I presume you are referring to a loophole in the current Higher Education Act that will be closed when the reauthorized act takes effect on July 1, 2006.  This loophole allows students who have consolidated through the Federal Family Education Loan Program to "reconsolidate" (which is usually not allowed)by "churning" (for lack of a better word) their consolidation loan through the Direct Loan Program.  \n\nThere are lenders willing to do this (try searching the web for "reconsolidate")... But be careful when working with a lender/broker willing to arrange this. What kind of experience and customer service record do they have?  What are the borrower benefits and, more importantly, how does the borrower qualify and get disqualified from them?


1) Main purpose of MBTI in an organization\n2) Pros and Cons of MBTI in an organization\n3) Specific Post in an organization for different types\n4) Examples of organization using MBTI and results\n5) Example or websites describing MBTI

The MBTI is basically a tool to help you understand your own personality and understand how others differ from you.  Many people (Ns more often than Ss) find it an incredibly beneficial tool to help them understand where others are coming from.  On various sites, you'll find plenty of information for your other questions (www.keirsey.com, www.humanmetrics.com, etc.)  Just type any 4 letter MB TI combination into a search engine and you'll get more information than you can handle!--but be discerning.


For the past year I will have sore (and possibly swollen) arm pits.  I stopped using anti-perspirants, I went to an "all natural deoderant", I even tried to use just baby-powder... But every once and a while, they just hurt.

have you had it checked? Maybe try to feel if a lymphatic node is enlarged. I know it´s "unmanly" but if you shave your armpits maybe you´ll feel better - some people do! It might be itchy at first because you´re not used to it but it won´t hurt to try, huh?\nIf all else fails, go see your GP. Hope it gets better soon!

I am working on a debate presentation...I am soooo confused.  If you know any facts of why or how it may be harmful between 2 CONSENTING ADULTS, please help!!!!\nTHANK YOU

I'm no authority, yet in my experience viewing porn as a couple is indeed harmful.\n\nFirst off, it creates an unattainable fantasy in each person's mind what normal, healthy sex entails.\n\nSecondly, porn is very addictive.  The more you indulge in it, the more hardcore stuff you need to view in order to "get off".  This can turn into a vicious cycle and lead to many problems ranging from relational problems to serious financial problems.\n\nHow do I know this? I've fought with this demon for years!

Are there any laws to protect someone from being mentally abused in the workplace.  Examples of abuse: name calling to their face and behind their back, throwing things at someone as they walk by even it is something that person asked for, refusing to speak to that person, excluding/ignoring that person, spontaneously getting mad and refusing to speak to that person for no apparent reason, talking about that person causing others to view and exclude that  person.  Would these be examples of mental abuse in the workplace?

There are state and federal laws protecting employees from this type of activities.  Look in your break room for the law posters.  I've gone through this as a manager with a couple employees who were doing this.  Take this to your HR person immediately.  They will do everything they can to correct this issue so you do not have to take it to a state or federal agency.  If you can't/won't help you then take it to one of those agencies and inform them that your company wouldn't correct the situation when it was brought to their attention.


If you have time check out my LiveJournal and tell me if you think I am out of my mind.... Leave comments!!!\n\nhttp://goya-nunez.livejournal.com/

I do not think you are sick, or mental, or psyco or anything. I think you just have a great imagination. Who would have ever thought of a bigfoot unless they had an imagination. Who would have ever though that we could have computers, unless we have an imagination and determination that it can be real. So are you crazy: No. If you were crazy, then all does movie creators, Lord of the Ring, does creatures are not real, they are made up just like your story. Now if you really believe your mother had sex with a plant and your brothers are half plant and half human they you have issues, but you dont believe your story than man make sure you keep on writing and then one day it might be a movie!!! Good Luck


Would you agree that there is an over abundance of naive people in the world, on the internet, and that, because of this there is by no means a shortge of people to exploit, be you a criminal, corporation, government or otherwise?

I would reservedly agree with you. I think it is human nature to want control and exploit...governments have the money and power to do so and they always want more of both.


jus wondering bcoz i got this message 4m this person who was really bitter about the way Alaskans were treated . \nadding to that..\nDo NATIVE americans believe that they are americans.  ARe they still bitter.

Im not a Native American, but I do live in Alaska, and I  am proud to be an American. Im not sure why the person you talked to was bitter about the way Alasksn's are treated, but I have no complaints. It's just a little boring here :)

Men will know what I am talking about.  Do women get it too? The women I've questioned do not appear to experience this phenomenon.

My guess is that its somehow sexually connected (you are using the same organs afterall!!) Have you noticed that sometimes you are turned on, and you go take a leak, and after that dont feel like having sex anymore?


if they do, are they as hooked and obsessed as men are?

Some women like porn, and are turned on by it...then others are repulsed and disgusted by it. And there are some in the middle...the closet porn watchers...those are the ones who watch it and kind of enjoy it, but would never admit it!!!


what is the first thing which comes to mind ?


What if hes your brothers friend?What do I do if he thinks I hate him?

It's not wrong, so much as any feelings of 'like' can't be wrong. However, if you have a crush on your brother's friend, who thinks that you hate him, there could be some issues with your relationship with said object of affection. To begin, if you intend to pursue this boy, I suggest you stop giving him reason to think you hate him, such as being nice and pleasant in his presence.


What is the scariest thing you've witnessed or experienced?\nHave these horrifying momments left a mark on your life? If so, how?

I witnessed a man who had beaten his girlfriend push her out of a moving car right in front of my house when I was about 15. I remember screaming because I couldn't believe it happened and right in front of my eyes.\nI lived in Flordia for about a year and we were going down Interstate 4 when a girl talking on her cell phone (who was driving very fast) passed us and then on up ahead she hit a semi truck and her car went up under the trailer and exploded. Everyone stopped and you could hear the girl screaming and fire was blazing up the sides of the trailer. No one not even the truck driver had a fire extingusher. She died and I had nightmares about that for years  to come.


the mode of 8 noumbers, when multiplied by 2, becomes the mean.  the other numbers(none of which are the mode) are 12, 24, 36, 38, 45 and 69.  what is the mode?show or explain how you got the answer

If I understand correctly, your 8 numbers are:\n12, 24, 36, 38, 45, 69, X, and X.\nThe last two are the same number as the mode by definition.\n\nSince the mode times two equals the mean, then\n\n2X = (224+2X)/8\n16x=224+2x\n14x=224\nx=224/14=16\n\nSo, your numbers were 12,16,16,24,36,38,45,and 69\nTotal 256\nAverage (Mean) 32\nMode 16


My Uncle died from a sudden heart attack, he was only 46 and I do not no how to deal with it.

I'm very sorry to hear of the sudden, tragic death of your uncle.  He was obviously very dear to you.\nTry talking with your mother and father about how you feel.  Maybe they can tell you more about the good times they had with your uncle.  If you have any other uncles or aunts, try talking with them too.\nGrief is a terrible thing to endure, but try to remember that your life goes on.  You can best honor your uncle's memory by living your life to the fullest, just like he would want you to do.\nHope this helps, even a little bit.

Ok, my neighbor kissed me when I was about 9 years old. So I didn't count that as a real first kiss. Then I went on the Washington Workshops and I sat by this guy that liked me on the airplane home. He even changed seats with about 8 people just to sit next to me. But that's a different story. So this one time we woke up kinda sleepy on the airplane...and we looked at each other and...kissed. Should I consider this my first kiss even though we were kind of out of it and sleepy?

That definitly counts. And I think an airplane kiss is a pretty cool first kiss!!!


like i wanna add a sound to a dhtml menu, but says that i need a kavascript sound file for that, plz tell me what is the format of the javascript file and where can i get it

This would be done by using the scripting interface of a plugin... your problem would be that you can't ensure anyone has the plugin you want. Also, many people would consider sound to be intrusive (as they may well be playing their own music).


I heard of Christian Wicca  and I want to know what it means. Is it really possible? Do they worship goddesses as well as Christian figures? Is this contrdictory?\nJust curious...

There is a difference between being a Witch and being Wiccan. You can be a Wiccan and a Witch, but you dont have to be a Witch to be Wiccan. On the same note you can be a Witch and not be Wiccan (as I am). \n\nNow I know of Christian Witches. They believe in one God and Jesus and follow the commandments etc. They also work with herbs, cast spells, and work with magic. They believe these gifts and abilities come from their one God. \n\nTo be Christian and Wiccan is harder. You would have to monotheistic with the Christianity believing there is only one God and he is all there is. And still have the Wiccan believe in Duality believing in a Mother Goddess and Father God or Polytheism believing in Many Goddesses and Gods. \n\nMany people blend religions in order to find what is true and correct for them, myself included. Its called being Ecclectic. I suggest you think about where your beliefs lay and set up your own core belief system, pull from as many religions as you see fit and don't worry about a title unless you feel inclined to have one.


I am surprised at how much I like it!  It's well-written... Serious and silly at the same time.\n\nIf you haven't seen it, you should check it out.  You might surprise yourself...

Yes, I have seen it and was pleasantly surprised.  I wasn't even slightly interested after seeing him on Regis and kelly and the likes but I did catch it after the Sopranos and liked what I saw.  A little disturbing at times (Like when that 14 year old girl married that Really ancient man or was "promised" to him...But all in all, kinda entertaining.


as a couple how could we avoid fighting. he promise not to do it again but still it happened. he can't work forever.he's just staying at home but sometimes he went out and spent money in gambling.

It just depends on how much you are willing to take from him.If you can't take anymore then leave.He obviously isnt going to quit doing whatever he keeps doing. Its been 5 times. Maybe you should seperate for awhile. Just to get away from the crap. I

Im considering dating a guy I met ONLINE,\nand another guy, a BLIND DATE, set-up by my friend.  \nI need your opinions...please!\n(Thanks for your good answers)

i'm actually going to say that the internet date is better simply because you have a chance to get to know them before you go on the date so that you'll already have some background knowledge and experience together. that way you'll always have something to fall back on if things get quite. plus you normally can get a look at them first and find out it your even vaguely interested.


I really want to have bigger breasts. There are lots of creams out on the market today. What is the best cream to use and when I stop using it, it will stay permanent? Thank You!

just be happy with yourself the way you are.  why would you want larger breasts? think about it long and hard and if it truely is for yourself and not to get/please a man/woman, get surgery.  it is safer and permamnent.  creams for breast enhancement, hair growth, weight loss etc etc are genrally poor products that don't really work but cost alot.


like cigarettes,they should be prohibited for people under a certain age,but permited to those over...let's say...20-22...because it should be only normal that those people should know better then taking them just out of curiosity or terribilism!

yes, but i defintly would want more help,treatment centers real education.

In college and have to write essay on the various models of communications.

I was married for five years before I finally became pregnant with our first baby. My husband (at the time) flipped out and started being a real jerk. (I must add that we had full custody of his own son, so he was not new to the parenting thing.)\nI left him, three months pregnant, but we went through counseling which did not help. I filed for divorce soon after the baby was born.\nUp until a year ago, the ex wouldn't have anything to do with the baby (now seven years old) and me, EXCEPT for paying child support. \nBut then his other son flipped his Explorer while on the cell phone with him, and he's been a better dad and ex-husband since then.\nI think I'm falling back in (or still in) love with him. Actually kissed him tonight. It was nice.

Everyone grows up sooner or later.  However, that he had nothing to do with your child for seven years raises a big question in my mind.  Will he be there later?  Is he here to stay?  He owes the answers to your child and to you.\n\nObviously you have had a thing for him this whole time, and he for you.  People don't stop speaking to each other because of indifference.  \n\nGive it a chance, but make sure you know the answers to those questions.  You owe it to yourself and your kid.\n\nGood luck!


A book store open 7 days a week sold at least one book each day. A total of 600 books were sold over the entire year (non leap year). Are we guaranteed a period of consecutive days when exactly 129 books were sold? Proof?

Hi there,\nWe will always be guaranteed a period of consecutive days when exactly 129 books are sold. The reason the number 129 is important is clear below. The proof uses what is known as the pigeonhole principle. [If n>m pigeons are put into m pigeonholes, then there exists a hole with more than one pigeon.] As usual, the trick is in constructing the "pigeons" and the "pigeonholes".\n\nLet B_i (for i=1,2,...,365) be the number of books sold during the period from the first day to the ith day inclusive (for example, B_3 represents the number of books sold in the first three days). Then we have:\n1 <= B_1 < B_2 < ... < B_365 = 600\nWe have strict inequalities inbetween as at least one book is sold each day. Now for the trick. Add 129 to this sequence of numbers to get:\n130 <= B_1 + 129 < B_2 + 129 < ... < B_365 + 129 = 729.\n\nWe choose B_1, B_2, ..., B_365, B_1 + 129, B_2 + 129, ..., B_365 + 129 as our pigeons. There are 730 of them, each being a positive integer between 1 and 729 inclusive. The numbers from 1 to 729 will be our pigeonholes. Thus by the pigeonhole principle, two of the numbers in our sequence of 730 numbers must be the same. As B_1, B_2, ..., B_365 are distinct, and B_1 + 129, B_2 + 129, ..., B_365 + 129 are distinct, one of the B_i's must be equal to one of the B_i + 129.\n\nSuppose that B_n = B_k + 129, where 1 <= k < n <= 365. Then we have B_n - B_k = 129. So between the (k+1)th day and the nth day inclusive, exactly 129 books were sold.\n\nCheerios,\nMike

I assume you want to make a "love songs" type CD.   I think it's a great idea, but be prepared to listen to it with her ;)\n\n(Maybe, if you aren't into listening to these yourself or with her... put together a compilation of YOUR favorite songs- that way she always things of you). \n\nAnyway for the love songs-\n\nGo with ballads like:\nAll for Love- Bryan Adams\nBack at One- Bryan McKnight\nBecause You Loved Me - Celine Dion\nBreathe- Faith Hill\nCan you Feel the Love Tonight- Elton John\nCry- Mandy Moore\nEternal Flame- Bangles\nForever and Always- Shania Twain\nFrom a Distance- Bette Midler\nI will always Love You- Whitney Houston\nHungrey Eyes- Eric Carmen\nI can love you like that- all-4-one\nI do - 98 degrees\nI can't stop falling in love with you- ray charles\nI don't wanna miss a thing- aerosmith\nI knew I loved you- savage garden\nI'll make love to you- boyz II men\nmandy- barry manilow\namazed- lonestar\nnow and forever- richard marx\none sweet day- mariah carey/boyz II men\nsave the last dance for me - drifters\nsomething about the way you look tonight-elton john\ntake my breath away- berlin (or jessica simpson)\nthis kiss-faith hill\ntruly madly deeply- savage garden\nunchained melody-the rightgeous brothers\nunbreak my heart- toni braxton\nunbreakable- westlife\nwhen I'm sixty-four - beatles\nwind beneath my wings- bette midler\nwithout you- mariah carey\nyou're still the one - shania twain\n\nI'm a sucker for love songs!!


It has A.D.1814 one side and A.O.696 on the other and a man named DE Witt Clinton in the middle. It says he was the first Grand Commander. One the other side of the coin it has Sir John B Mullan with the date A.D. 1914 on one side of him and A.O. 796 one the other.

This is likely a commemorative token (they were very popular during this particular era). Both men were New York politicians during the years noted on the coin. They were also Knights Templar (Freemasons), which is what this coin is REALLY about, I think. A.O. stands for Anno Ordinis, which means "Year of the Order" and was used by the Knights Templar.\n\nIn 1814, Clinton was named "Grand Commander of the Grand Commandery, K.T. [Knights Templar] of New York," which I think explains why he was the first Grand Commander. I can't find any proof that Mullan was ever a Grand Commander, but he was definitely a high-ranking freemason as well, since a reception was held for him in 1909. \n\nHope this helps answer your question!


People say illegal aliens can't be deported because there are 11 million of them (or more) and so it would be unfeasible to do anything about it.  Well, what if 30 million of us decided not to pay income tax?  Would the authorities really put all of us in jail?

They might get around to putting you in jail, but they'd definitely take your money first, plus fines.


Mine was "Africa" by Toto. Try to top it.\n\nhttp://www.nsitlounge.in/bb/index.php?showtopic=3579

It seems no matter how “far-gone” a rumor is about someone or something, people will quickly accept it but the truth requires proof, validation and secondary sources before anyone even believes it? Why is that?

It seems to be in our nature to accept the negative as well as the "more interesting" story.  Usually the truth is duller, and therefore, not as much fun to believe.\n\nI don't particularly like this quality, so I've tried for years to wait for all the details before believing or having an opinion on an issue.  Yet I am still guilty of this at times, especially when the story first starts.


Objects such as a bridge in a flood, etc. This is for a report due on Mar. 20. :)

Wow! At last I found a good question & that too with a sensible asker who is wiling to do the research part. Here is my answer just for you-\n\nIn case of a flood, the flow of river is most of the times "turbulent". Do a Google search on "turbulence"+"fluids". Also search for "Mechanics of fluids".\n\nBut, the force in case of turbulent motion is pretty complicated so, I'll explain it in case of a slower speed of flood when the flow is "streamline" i.e. when the flow is not irregular.\n\nWhile flowing, the magnitudes of the velocities of streamliness are inversely proportional to the spacing between two streamlines in a plane. So, the narrower the hole is, more speedily the water will pass from it & thus, would exert more force.\n\nNow, try and do a Google search on these topics-\n1- Bernoulli's Principle\n\n2- Torricelli's Law of Efflux\n\nThose laws will help you with your report a lot.


Why would someone(God) who claims to be pure goodness create an entire world and people in it just so he could be worshipped? How can any person be so self centered? I mean if God did design this universe he did a damn good job, but why be stuck up and say "YOU HAVE TO WORSHIP ME OR I WILL SEND YOU TO HELL!!"? I just can't respect someone like that.

Simply put, I don't think he did.  I think that man created all of the fire and brimstone, believe in me for your own good or I'll kill you stuff.  Only a complete ego centric would create us just so we can worship and glorify him.  That's not my idea of a higher power.


How do you do logarithms of base 1 or 0?\nEx.\nlog_1 1\nlog_0 5\nlog_1 45\n\nThanks!!^_^\nlog_0 0

The short answer is, you don't.\n\nThe log is the exponent you put on the base to get the number you want the log of.  base 10 log of 100 is 2, because 10^2=100.  But all powers of 1 are 1, and all powers of 0 are 0.

If I could pick anyone, it would be Bill Cosby. I'm serious about this and I have been for years. He started out from modest means, earned a college education, and has advanced degrees in education out the wazoo. Check his bank account: he's done alright.\n Listen to his comedy, and you'll hear timeless observations about what we ALL have in common.\n Look at what he's done as a humanitarian, an educator, a businessman, and a role model. Despite opposition from unlikely sources, he keeps going.\n Bill Cosby has the respect of generations of both black and white, and has the ethics and skills to pull it off.\n How in the heck does one DRAFT somebody to run for President?


I thnk with positive charge elements it increases and with negative charge it decreases because the atomic radius increases down the group.

An element is reactive because it is unstable.By reacting with other substances it tries to become stable.\nin case of metals or as u say positively charged elements,say,Li,Na,K...the atomic size is increasing on going down.As the size increases the the nuclear pull for the valence shell decreases,thereby making it easier to lose electrons.Thus,K easily loses electrons as compared to Na or Li and is therefore more reactive.\nin case of negatively charged atoms or non metals,the atomic size is again increasing for eg in case of F,Cl,Br..\nbut the case is opposite here.\nthe atom has to gain one electron in order to become stable.\nthe smaller the atom the more is the nuclear pull for the incoming electron and more readily it is accepted.\nthus in this case,reactivity decreases down the group.


I LOVE family guy because of all the random stuff they pay homage to.  A couple of my favorite gags are:\n\n1. When Peter goes to visit old girlfriends to try to make Lois jealous & he goes up to a house & Peppermint Patty (from the Peanuts cartoon) answers & he asks her out & she says that she found her life partner and Marcy comes to the door\n\n2. When the Griffins are at the supermarket & Chris goes to reach for a carton of orange juice and is sucked into the "Take On Me" video.\n\n3. When the Griffins are left a mansion in a will and they move in & there's a musical number that spoofs the one in "Annie" when she goes to live with Mr. Warbucks\n\nWhat are your favorite Family Guy moments?

it is so hard to pick just one. this show is crazy on so many levels. i would say from the stewie movie when peter is in the car trying to teach meg about men and he farts (and sniffs real hard) and then tells her to suck it in meg suck it in. hilarious (funnier when you see it)


I can probably do it but if i cant ill tell u

#include <stdio.h>\nmain()\nprintf("hello");\n\nYes, thisis the prgm. I heared that first the script is converted into hello.exe. Then, compilation--->Run.. can someone explain how internally this in simple prgm is run, executed and hello is displayed

IN computer language ,everything need to be converted into machine level language. THen it is executed by the processor.\nIn your program also, 1st preprocessor directive include<stdio.h> defines the standard function like printf.\nmain is SPECIAL function  and print is standard input statement.\nCompile covert your source into machine level language. while linker link the files with macros,preprocessor directives. Run command execute the program..//this is abt windows.\nIN unix\ninstead of turboc, there is CC compiler. which compiles the code. while to run the program just type ./a.out\n\nso steps to doin uNIX are:\n\n1. vi filename.c\n2.cc fileaname.c\n3./a.out\n\n\nHi! what type of more detail u want? about execution in unix or programming in unix?or anything else..?


I started to take protein shakes while i work out regularly. but i have noticed that i get very drowsy after taking protiein everyday. i am @ the moment taking 2 scoops a day of Elite PRO. i really need to take these shakes but i do not want to get drowsy any suggestions or solutions???

Its the same thing as if you were to eat a very large dinner (think back to how you felt after last Thanksgiving) your body is using up so much of its energy digesting that you feel physically tired. Try using water instead of milk, or if that tastes too bad just less milk. You are taking in too many calories for your body to handle it all.


Julie, you have such a keen sense of humor. I've viewed your past questions & answers and you just crack me up. Please don't stop having fun. Yes, there should be a category for silliness and fun. Some people just don't have enough fun. Thanks for the smiles!!


I would really appreciate the assistance with this one from our wonderful Muslim brothers and sisters here on Y!A.

First, it's more like "As Salaamu Alaikum", but that's okay.\n\nTo respond, you would say "Hu Alaikum Salaam". Both pretty much mean "Peace be upon you". I'm typically lazy and say just "Salaam" as a greeting or response, but this is the more formal way to say it.


WHAT DO I NEED IAM BEEN IN THE USA FOR MORE THAT 20 YEARS I HAD MY PAPERS BUT I LOST MY WALLTE N KNOW I DONT KNOW WAS TO DO I MARRED A USA CITIZEN WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER 4 12 YEARS N WE HAVE TOO KIDS????

Go to the police and report your wallet as lost/stolen. \nThen take the police report and go to INS and ask them to reissue the papers that you lost. Since you are married to a US citizen I assume that you are a naturalized citizen. So there should be no issue at all in reissueing your papers.


Should they be allowed and tolerated, or should we start cracking the whip?

You know there are probably a lot of terrorists arleady here.  What's done is done. But that does not mean that we should not TRY to take measures to keep them out, or that we should give up all our laws and throw open our hands and borders to any and everyone.  I mean if you knew that your house was infested with termites, would you just let them destroy your house? or would you do something about it? I dont believe that illegal immigrants are termites.  Just trying to make a point.  Just because the problem already exists, does not mean that you dont take measure to try to protect yourself.\n\nAnd I think the whip should be cracked. This issue is not a matter of free speech, because our rights are reserved for the "legal" citizens of this country. I think it is not very smart to be doing something illegal, and then making it known that you are doing it. \n\nPeople who are here illegally are breaking the law. There are steps that can be taken to be here legally and they should take them. It may be a difficult process, but as we all know Freedom isn't free, and if you want it bad enough, you should be willing to do what it takes to get it through legal means.\n\nI mean, the protests of illegal people in this country bothers me. I mean what would happen if child molesters decided to protest the laws against child molesting. We would all say, that's crazy! How can they be "in the wrong" and demand the laws be changed so that they can do what they want. I don't think it is right. The best way to resolve the problem is to make it prohibitive for illegal people to be here, and beneficial for legal immigrants to be here. Our laws are there for a reason, America is not a free for all...and if you want to be a part of its citizenry, then you must follow the laws like the rest of the citizens. \n\nWhat gets me is all these people using emotionalism and saying that "human rights" are being violated. How is it a violation of human rights to tell people who entered this country illegally, got jobs, and basically are squatters and cheaters that at long last, YOU MUST DO THE RIGHT THING! \n\nI think they do not understand what the definition of "Human Rights" is. They are not being treated inhumanely, they are actually fortunate. Because they are being treated as any other American Citizen who breaks the law. ACTUALLY they are being treated BETTER than any other American Citizen who breaks the law. How many U.S. citizens do you know, can break the law, admit to it, protest about it....and not be punished unless or until congress decides to re-write the law in an effort to be as fair to THEM as possible. Come on! Just because they took low paying jobs and work hard at them, does not mean that they are free to break the law. And if we allow them to do it, then the country they are so eager to live in will cease to be the country it is supposed to be. \n\nIf what illegal immigrants want to do is to work, raise families, and live in a free society. Then, follow the LEGAL process to do so, learn the language, and the culture, pay your taxes, and become an American the right way!\n\nDon't break the law and then scream victim! You are not victims. The tax payers who support social programs are victims, the people who migrate to this country and become legal citizens are victims. Illegal immigrants are people who made a "CHOICE" to do the WRONG thing, and think they should be excused or rewarded for that choice. I say WAKE UP, take responsibility for your actions, and GET LEGAL or leave.


so what do you think about the laws Forbiding a Person from Choosing for themself to commit suicide, Sell thier body Parts and to have an Abortion?

This is the way I view things.  I wasn't around when they made the laws therefore I don't think it's fair that I have to abide by the ones I don't agree with.  If I feel like a law needs to be changed or if I want to make something made legal that isn't then I will try for it.  I will fight and get petitions and go to meetings for my cause.  However, if I still don't get my way I'll do what I want. I will continue to do illegal acts or whatever the circumstance may be.  I would never put anyone in harm's way but if I feel there is a stupid law I shouldn't have to abide by then I don't.  I may have to suffer the consequences but I will fight for my beliefs.


I have a date with this rich guy who is taking me out in a fancy restaurant.i want to know which cutlery to use on which meal (course).Thanks.

Yes always use the Cutlery from the outside in, and eat with those utensils the way they have been place on the table. You should know the differences though of your soup spoon, desert spoon and your fish knife etc.


I've heard a couple versions. Who wrote it, who popularized it, etc.? I am especially looking to track down a version of it sung by a female vocalist, Stevie Nicks maybe?

my v*gi**  but I've always wondered just what that means?

This is not good!  Your uncle told you this?  Oh My Gd!  I'm so sorry for you.  I hope you are over this, and I hope that you stay far away from you uncle.  Don't be left alone with him ever again!  But, to answer you question, if you really want to know.  When he said open up....he was meaning for you to relax your vigina (because a 9 yr. old girl would be tight), so he could basically "poke" you.


hi am a mauritian i had applied at uk 2 study but i could not get my visa  n i had lost the receipt of the payments but on demanding my refund the college is not giving me can you find a solution 4 me please

If your talking about an application fee generally those are not refundable. If it is tuition then I would just make a huge fuss about it until they gave in and just gave you your money back to shut you up. However if you didn't let them know you weren't attending and didn't try to get your money back until in the middle of the semester than it is your fault and they don't have to give it back.


example 26L of the A means 26 letters of the alphabet.

I've seen these before, I think.  You're questions is a little vague but I'll give it a shot.\n\nFor instance, 81 K on a P is actually 81 Keys on a Piano?\n\nIf this is what you're talking about there is no real method that I'm aware of to solve them, except to think about the distinct number at the beginning, as this is what yields the greatest clue.  \n\nFor instance, 24 hours, 7 days, 60 minutes/seconds, 100 cents, 365 days, etc.  I hope this helps!

Is it possible to relax and massage the muscles carefully and bring things back to normal? A friend of mine says she did it!\n\nDON'T TELL ME TO GO TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE WE ARE, BUT IT IS THE WEEKEND.

Well you can't do anything to treat the hiatal hernia on your own. Since you already know to go to the doctor (by the way how do you know you have a hiatal hernia?), you are probably interested in decreasing some of the symptoms related to reflux. \n\nLosing weight (if overweight but you can't do that in a weekend obviously), avoiding alcohol, chocolate, citrus juice, and tomato-based products and avoiding large meals in general. Wait 3 hours after a meal before lying down and elevate the head of the bed 8 inches when you do.\n\nCan't give you info for pharmacologic therapy (not a good idea online). But if you are really hurting, I suggest calling your physician.


Im looking to hook two computers together to get a bunch of files from one to the other.  Im not looking for a perminate solution here.  One computer is running Win 2000 and the other is a XP box.  They both have network cards installed.  Thanks.

Seems like the simplest in your situation would be to get a CAT5 "cross-over" cable and connect the NIC in one computer directly to the NIC in the other.  Alternatively, get two regular CAT5 cables and a hub and connect them that way.  If you don't have this stuff, you could probably borrow from a friend so you wouldn't be out any money.\n\nAssuming you are using Windows, "share" (right click, properties) the directory with the files you want to copy. Om the other computer, go into "network" and find the files.  Copy them to the second computer.  That should work.


mention reason too...hint: ur gf/bf, studies, parties, computer, friends, family, urself, music, art and also mention type of it and reason also.

all the things bcoz these things whether big one or small gives a meaning to life.....these things make life beautiful and amazing...

I've been researching Puck (who I'll be playing in an upcoming production of AMSND), and I'm curious about some of the folklore that Shakespeare drew from to help create the character. Thoughts, anyone? Links to outside sources and webpages would be much appreciated. =)

Puck, or Robin Goodfellow, is, like all the Fairies in AMSND, a debased or coded version of European Earth Religious figures.  In the fairy lore of Renaissance England, the pre-Christian religions were preserved as "fairy tale," and the pre-Christian rites were preserved as folklore.\n\nThe name "Robin," which appears in such other places as the myth-hero Robin Hood, the nursery rhyme about C*ck-Robin, and so on, is an unmistakable sign of this history, for "Robin" is one name for a pre-Christian God and His representative priest.  (Oberon and Titania are clearly the Mother-Goddess and Her Consort of European nature-based religions, as many critics have observed.)  Puck is, in the fairy folklore of Britain as Shakespeare inherited it, the debased form of the sacred Trickster God of ancient Europe.  "Puck" is a traditional name in several Celtic languages for such a divine trickster, a Western European counterpart for figures such as the North American indigenous Coyote, or West African Esu-Elegbara.  \n\nThe play is a Midsummer Night's ritual--a Summer Solstice rite--played out in humorous, parodic terms.  Shakespeare is neither hostile to the Pagan tradition nor an uncritical follower of it; it is, like the Christian materials in some of his plays, one source for what is in Shakespeare ultimately always a secular view of the Universe.  That said, most critics say that AMSND is one of Shakespeare's most "religious" plays--albeit its religious focus is not Christianity.  \n\nPuck/Robin Goodfellow has been variously associated with an Oak-tree God, with the Norse god Loki (which is Shakespeare's syncretism; traditionally, Puck is a Celtic, not a Nordic, figure), and with the servants of the Dagda (Cernunnos, the stag-horned King of Celtic Gods) who had custody of the products of the Dagda's magic cauldron (in the play, some of that mythology gets retold in parodic form in terms of the flower whose fluid is the love-spell cast on the four young ingenues).


some one was telling me about a layer of fat on the abdomen that can help heal hurt organs or something. what is it called?

I'm a veterinary technician, so I will answer this one from that perspective.  Much of the same info applies to humans, as well.\n\nWhile it's not exclusively "fat", it sounds like you're describing the OMENTUM.  The omentum is a really neat and little-known organ.  It is capable of so much that it's been called the "body's policeman".\n\nThe omentum is a sheet of fat that is covered by the peritoneum. The greater omentum is attached to the bottom edge of the stomach, and hangs down in front of the intestines. Its other edge is attached to the transverse colon. The lesser omentum is attached to the top edge of the stomach, and extends to the undersurface of the liver.  It's rich in lymphatics and is a source of blood vessels and fibroblasts. It is thin, so it provides very little structural support, but it can be utilized to cover other organs and to obliterate space. The omentum is attached to the stomach and is composed of two leaves. The blood supply is derived primarily from the stomach vessels. Because of this arrangement, the omentum can be extended in length. The blood supply to one leaf is ligated (tied off), and this leaf is freed from its attachment and folded back to increase the total length of the omentum. Also, a flap can be created from this extended omentum to further increase its total length. These modifications increase the total length of the omentum to the point where it can reach any point in the cat and nearly any point in the dog.  This allows the omentum to be utilized in a large number of surgeries involving all or nearly all of the animal’s body.\n\nThe most common use of the omentum is as an adjunct to intestinal surgery.  It can also be used to assist healing in other sites. Chronic, non-healing skin wounds can be assisted by omentalization.  Many chronic wounds that have had multiple surgeries and/or a prolonged period of local wound care without success have gone on to heal dramatically after omentalization.\n\nFinally, the omentum can be used as a physiological drain. The rich lymphatic and blood vascular supply within the omentum can assist in the absorption of fluids in a number of body locations.\n\nCurrently, there are studies taking place, and indeed, surgery has been performed to use the omental tissue in cases of spinal injury.  One famous case of such a surgery was that of the famous pole vaulter Brian Sternberg, who was injured in 1963 and left a quadriplegic as a result.  While he was never able to walk again, a relatively new procedure called omental tissue transposition 10 years ago made it possible for him to breathe better and regain some feeling in his fingers and toes.  Perhaps more research will make it possible for other victims of spinal and other injuries to benefit from omental tissue.


This is a different question?\nWhat is it mean to be an American?\nThings mostly about freedom.

You initial question asks about Christendom.  Christendom refers to the Christian world.  The United States today could certainly be considered part of "Christendom" in most cases.  That is not to say that there are non-Christians.\n\nAs for your question about what it means to be an American...You can interpret that one many different ways.  I don't want to do all of your homework for you!


doing some research here concerning Avian flu and mad cow disease..is mad cow disease caused directly by a virus, bacteria, fungus, protazoan or any type of microbe that can be destroyed with heat?

No, mad cow disease and some related human diseases are caused by prions, which are less complex structurally than viruses, consisting essentially of naked protein.  At one time they were referred to as "slow viruses", but this terminology is not used anymore so far as I know.  At this time, the only diseases that I know of caused by these agents are primarily neurological, typically resulting in untreatable, progressive, invariably fatal brain damage.  Some examples are Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease in humans, a human disease called "kuru" associated with the ritual eating of deceased human brain tissue among natives of Papua New Guinea in previous decades, scrapie in sheep, chronic wasting disease in elk and deer, and mad cow disease in cattle.  Currently, mad cow disease is the only one of the animal prion diseases which is seriously suspected of being transmissible to humans via the consumption of infected animal nervous system tissue.  Collectively, all of these diseases are known as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies or TSE's.  This is because of 1)the high probability that humans or animals develop one of these diseases after being infected with communicable agents, propbably prions, from a previously infected human or animal, 2) these diseases are characterized by degenerative changes in the brain giving it a "spongy" holed-out appearance at autopsy, and 3) these diseases all have their primary effects on the brain (although prions may be found in nervous system tissue outside the brain as well).\n\nAgain, while these diseases are rare in humans it is still the case that at this time there are no proven methods for early detection of these diseases and no treatments/cures.  That is why the response to the appearance of mad cow disease in a herd or locality is usually addressed by mass slaughter and sanitary disposal of all potentially infected animals, thus presumably drastically reducing the likelihood of transmission of prions from infected animals to humans via contaminated food.  General public health prevention of transmission of the agent causing mad cow disease to humans, thought to cause what is known as variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease, still depends largely on surveillance and, when necessary, the culling of cattle herds and on careful separation of all nervous system tissue from other edible tissues at the time of slaughter of all animals whose meat will enter the food supply.  There is some evidence that the numbers of prions believed to cause scrapie in sheep may be reduced by a combination of high heat/high pressure treatment of processed meats, although scrapie has never been linked with human disease.  Thus prions in general may someday prove susceptible to similar treatment.

In my experience, I never wanted to be in a 'click', but I was zealous and helped all I could, and when you show this type of willingness, you will be asked to do whatever is needed. I loved the whole congregation, as Jesus loved all.

See if any complaints were filed against the agency by the following entities-\n1. Department of State-the agency has to get a business license from them. They are the ones that regulate any violations that the agency may have and could suspend the business license and/or fine the agency.\n2. Better Business Bureau.\n3. Consumer Affairs Department.\n4. County/State Court House-see if any civil cases were ever brought against them..\nHope this helps...


need ideas for that please \nwhat are some causes besides oil that the iraqi war links to the desert storm?\nthanks

Saddam was not taken out in Desert Storm.  The U.N. went in to monitor his illegal activities, and he was rebellious and uncooperative.  That finally led to the second conflict, which was of course easily won.  Now our troops are staying there until their government can become strong enough to protect themselves from all the terrorists and insurgents who are running around the middle east looking for a country to take over.


My beef with him is that he seems to say that mankind couldnt do anything complex or big without help. The pyramids are huge and were a monumental effort (no pun), so it must be aliens, huh? Easter Island, same thing. Stonehendge and all the other, smaller stone circles, the same, aliens. He brings up some interesting things, but he sees aliens everywhere. Its kinda kooky. Kooky and demeaning. If he only knew the Truth: that the aliens are actually highly evolved dinosaurs who were trapped in deep caves and have developed a high level of science and have created humans and 'grey aliens' and bigfoot.

perhaps if you wrote your question (additional details) in better english it would be easier to understand what you say.  You're intro to the question is very well written...but unfortunately I can't figure out what you mean by the second sentence.  SORRY
