the contributions of the president of usa Abraham lincoln?

President Lincoln was opposed to what he saw as the Slave Power and staunchly opposed its efforts to expand slavery into federal territories. His victory in the 1860 presidential election further polarized an already divided nation. Before his inauguration in March of 1861, seven Southern slave states seceded1 from the United States, formed the Confederate States of America, and took control of U.S. forts and other properties within their boundaries. These events soon led to the American Civil War.\n\nLincoln is often praised for his work as a wartime leader who proved adept at balancing competing considerations and at getting rival groups to work together toward a common goal. Lincoln had to negotiate between Radical and Moderate Republican leaders, who were often far apart on the issues, while attempting to win support from War Democrats and loyalists in the seceding states. He personally directed the war effort, which ultimately led the Union forces to victory over the Confederacy.\n\nHis leadership qualities were evident in his diplomatic handling of the border slave states at the beginning of the fighting, in his defeat of a congressional attempt to reorganize his cabinet in 1862, in his many speeches and writings which helped mobilize and inspire the North, and in his defusing of the peace issue in the 1864 presidential campaign. Copperheads vehemently criticized him for violating the Constitution, overstepping the bounds of executive power, refusing to compromise on slavery, declaring martial law, suspending habeas corpus, ordering the arrest of thousands of public officials and a number of newspaper publishers, and killing hundreds of thousands of young men. Radical Republicans criticized him for going too slow on abolition of slavery, and not being ruthless enough toward the conquered South.\n\nLincoln is most famous for his roles in preserving the Union and ending slavery in the United States with the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. However, some abolitionists criticized him for only freeing the slaves under the Confederacy in 1863, and waiting until 1865 to free slaves held in the Union.\n\nHistorians have argued that Lincoln had a lasting influence on U.S. political and social institutions, importantly setting a precedent for greater centralization of powers in the federal government and the weakening of the powers of the individual state governments.\n\nLincoln spent most of his attention on military matters and politics but with his strong support his administration established the current system of national banks with the National Bank Act. He increased the tariff to raise revenue and encourage factories, imposed the first income tax, issued hundreds of millions of dollars of bonds and Greenbacks, encouraged immigration from Europe, built the transcontinental railroad, set up Department of Agriculture, encouraged farm ownership with the Homestead Act of 1862, and set up the modern system of state universities with the Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act. During the war his Treasury department effectively controlled all cotton trade in the occupied South--the most dramatic incursion of federal controls on the economy. During his administration West Virginia and Nevada were admitted as states.\n\nLincoln is usually ranked as one of the greatest presidents. Because of his roles in destroying slavery, redefining national values, and saving the Union, his assassination made him a martyr to millions of Americans. However, millions of others considered him an unconstitutional tyrant for declaring martial law, suspending civil liberties, habeas corpus, and the First Amendment, and ordering the arrest of thousands of public officials and newspaper publishers.

There’s a fairly complicated evolutionary history to this trait. Trout started out initially as freshwater fish. As time went by their ancestors moved initially into brackish rivers, then into estuaries and finally into the oceans. But because they evolved in freshwater their eggs could still only survive in freshwater. So every year the trout ancestors had to move from the ocean back into the freshwater.\n\nBut as trout moved through the oceans they gradually discovered new rivers and streams in new countries, or streams that had just recently formed. Trout bred in those new streams, and some of them never moved back to the oceans. As a result today  there are lots of different types of trout. While most move back to the oceans after they hatch some live out their entire lives in freshwater. Others, like the steelhead, can do either, with some individuals returning to the oceans and some staying in the freshwater where they were born.\n\nBut because all trout ancestors evolved to swim from the ocean back up the freshwater streams most trout do the same today. Even those trout that never leave the freshwater feel that same urge to move higher upstream. But it should be noted that some trout species don’t swim upstream. Instead they swim towards clean water, which in many places can be downstream. But they still retain that same ancestral urge to migrate when it comes time to spawn.\n\nOddly enough many species of fish do exactly the opposite. These fish evolved in saltwater and although they spend most of  their lives in freshwater rivers and lakes they return to the ocean to spawn. The best known examples are the eels. The world contains lots of eels species that live in freshwater, but all return to the deep ocean where they first evolved in order to mate and lay eggs. Then the babies swim thousands of miles up out of the abyss and back up the same rivers their parents left.\n\nBiologically speaking trout swim upstream in repsonse to sex hormones that cause them to first seek highly oxygenated water and then to fight the current.\n____________________________________\n\nAddenda\n\nDogsmyjob said "Trout are fresh water fish only."\n\nI have no idea where you get yuour information, but you are completely and utterly incorrect. Most trout species remain anadromous, ie they return to the sea as adults. Why do you think there are  several species called sea trout?\nDon't believe me? Folow the links below.\n\nBut hey, at least you learned something today. \n\n"Anadromous bull trout rear in natal streams and migrate to marine environments to mature."\n\n"Rainbow trout are primarily a freshwater fish, although sea-run populations, often known as steelhead, exist in some areas. It is unclear whether this migration to sea water is genetic or simply opportunistic, but it appears that any population of rainbow trout is capable of migrating to or surviving in the sea if the need arises "\n\n"The shoals drop downstream during the night. A 'spate' will mitigate the change from fresh to salt water and particularly at these times the fish migrate to sea. Those fish not migrating return upstream for one more summer's growth."

what things surroding president John F kennedy stayed the same after he died?

The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, took place on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, USA at 12:30 PM Central Standard Time (18:30 UTC). Kennedy was fatally wounded by gunshots while riding in a presidential motorcade within Dealey Plaza. He was the fourth U.S. President to be assassinated, and the eighth to die while in office.\n\nAn official investigation by the Warren Commission was conducted over a 10-month period, and its report was published in September 1964, concluding that the assassin was Lee Harvey Oswald, an employee of the Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza. A later official investigation by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) was conducted from 1976 to 1979, and concluded that Oswald probably acted with at least one other person. The assassination is still the subject of widespread speculation, and has spawned a number of Kennedy assassination theories.

What is the difference between, red-hair, purple and skunk weed?

The hairs on weed usually turn red when they are fully matured, meaning that bud with red hairs are usually of high potency, rather than orange hairs for example. Purple weed is exactly that, weed with a purple hue instead of green. Many people are dumb enough to believe that if its purple, its amazing, WRONG. Many strains turn purple just because they do, and others turn purple because the temperature around them was somewhat cold. Look at alot of green plants during fall/winter, some will start to turn purple, this is true with clovers. Skunk is just specific strain of weed. It should smell rediculously strong and more pungent than your average bud. Yet again, this doesn't mean its good. It could still be garbage.

why is so much energy lost in the flow of energy in living systems?

Most of the energy in every process that uses it is lost (transforms to heat). The best processes in nature use about 33% of the energy, and release the other 67% as heat.\nWhen an organism eats another organism, it only eats the energy that the "lower" organism transformed to material (biomass) - and here the energy is lost (all the energy an organism transforms to movement/breath, all the organimsm that die and their energy goes to a lower link in the chain, and the biomass an organism loses in excrement).

Vegetables are placed in a bowl of cold water in order to keep crisp. Osmotically speaking, why do they remain

Osmotically speaking, there is a lot more water in the outside surroundings than inside of the vegetables, so the vegetables will want to keep their moisture.  Vegetables tend to wilt when they lose moisture.  Another thing is that the water is cold.  Cold keeps cells intact, which is crisp vegetable.  When you heat a vegetable, it tends to soften.

Knowing the answer before the question is asked.


I need money for school fees. I am stuck, what do I  do?

Go to the Financial Aid Office at your school and tell them that you want to explore any and all avenues for aid, grants, loans and scholarships.  Insist on that kind of information - don't just tell that you need money.  You need to be specific.  I worked in a college and I know that with some employees, students need to know the right questions to ask.  You may add that you may not be able to attend without the help.  They really do need students, and may try harder to help keep you in.\n\nGood luck - and remember - be specific in your request.

on wwe smackdown who is the wrestler  known as the boogeyman?

"The Boogeyman" is a man who's real name is Mark Wright. In 2004, he appeared on MTV's Tough Enough. He was in shape, had a definite 'look' to him, and had an intense sort of charisma, but it was discovered that he'd been lying about his age, claiming to be 30, when in fact he was 40. He was cut from the show, but WWE gave him a shot at OVW (Ohio Valley Wrestling,) their developmental league, where he developed a gimmick similar to that of the Boogeyman.\n\nWright hasn't received a great deal of wrestling training, and you might note that his 'matches' on Smackdown and PPV have been relatively few, none of them lasting an altogether great length. Whether this is because the bookers feel he is too old or too green to wrestle effectively, or because they simply lack faith that the boogeyman character has any staying power, isn't certain.

How can I prove that the irrational numbers are dense in R?

Use the fact that if A is dense in X the interior of the complement of A is empty.\n\nAssume that, I,  the interior of the complement is not empty.\nPick a point in I. There has to be an interval around that point that is contained in I. That interval has a width, w.\npick n such that 1/n < w. One of the rationals k/n has to lie within the interval. Contradiction.


my unrine is dark orange is that a bladder infection or uti?

It could be a lot of things. If it only happens occasionally, it could just be something you ate, or a vitamin you took. For example, my B vitamins turn my urine bright neon yellow. Dehydration could also darken your urine, so drink more water. (And really, water is the best thing for you. Sodas, even diet, aren't all that good.)\n\nThe other thing it might be is blood in your urine. It wouldn't necessarily show up as red - it might just be a darker yellow or orange. If that's the case, you need to see your doctor, because it could be any number of things.\n\nMine was consistently darker for a few weeks before I started to pass a kidney stone. When I went to the emergency room because of the pain, they took a urine sample and told me there was blood in it. It was a brownish-yellow - sort of orange.


The most common problem I've seen with this is people trying to send the file directly from the CD. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE! always make sure you rip the track from the CD that you want to send. Use something like Music Match JukeBox after you've ripped the track then try to attach the resulting file to your e-mail. Don't forget where the ripped file was saved, and try to encode it at 96kbps for good sound quality and good file size.


most interesting question you ever saw here?

most intesting? not shure about that, but i can tell you i daily find some interesting and funny question raging from witty to plain stupid.\n\nthe lattest interesting question i've found is on my source:


Pig Latin is a language game primarily used in English. The rules of Pig Latin can be modified to apply to almost any language. An alternative British name for Pig Latin is backslang. Pig Latin is usually used by children, who will often use it to converse in (perceived) privacy from adults, or simply for amusement, although sometimes adults will use it around very young children to discuss topics they don't want the child to hear. The impact of Pig Latin on the English language proper is minimal, although certain Pig Latin translations, most notably ixnay and amscray, have been incorporated into English slang. Pig Latin is also used by tourists in foreign countries where its inhabitants have an appreciation for the English language and one wishes that the general public are not privy to the conversation.\n\nThe rules are roughly:\n\nFor words that begin with consonant sounds, move all the first consonant sounds to the end of the word and add "ay." Thus, ball becomes "all-bay"; button becomes "utton-bay"; star becomes "ar-stay"; three becomes "ee-thray"; question becomes "estion-quay"; cheese bacon becomes "eeschay aconbay". The word backslang itself becomes "ack-bay ang-slay". \nFor words that begin with vowel sounds, simply add a syllable ending in "ay" to the end of the word. Variation of this rule make for many of the "dialects" of Pig Latin. The various syllables that are added after vowel-initial words are "way", "yay", "hay", and just plain "ay". Thus, a becomes "a-way", "a-yay", "a-hay", or "a-ay", depending on the dialect. Similarly, honest becomes "honest-way" etc. because even though it begins with the consonant letter h, the word begins with a vowel sound. \nA Pig Latin example text follows:\n\nIsthay isway anway exampleway ofway Igpay Atinlay. Asway ouyay ancay eesay, itway isway illysay, utbay otslay ofway unfay orfay ildrenchay. \nThe formula above, although it reflects a popular consensus of the varying definitions of Pig Latin used by different speakers, has been called "a common misconception", with the claim that the "correct" rule is to rearrange ONLY the first letter, no matter what the word, and add the -ay suffix. In some words this rule causes the word to sound wrong and/or be difficult to say, which is said to be one reason why the "misconception" came about in the first place. The other dialects were supposedly made to counter the difficulty of saying words rearranging the first letter only, and are now acceptable in common use; but "originally" Pig Latin consisted only of rearranging the first letter to the end, not syllable. No documented origin of Pig Latin accompanies the claim, nor is there much likelihood of a single "original" form ever having existed at all given that the game is a folk phenomenon likely to have been invented independently in multiple times and places. The lack of an authoritative body for defining Pig Latin in the manner of the Académie française makes any claim of what is or is not "correct" Pig Latin ultimately subjective. Thus, the historical basis and authority described for the single-letter variant may be best understood as part of the myth and mystique of the game.\n\nPig Latin appeared in an episode of The Three Stooges where there were three professors and their names were Professor Ixnay, Professor Onay, and Professor Amscray.\n\nIt is also "normal" in such a versatile language, that the hyphen is not used, e.g. "Isthay isway away ommoncay exampleway ofway yphenlesshay Igpay Atinlay." The capitalization rules also vary, so Michael Schumacher can be translated to any of these entries: Ichael-may Umacher-schay, Ichaelmay Umacherschay, ichael-May umacher-Schay, ichaelMay umacherSchay, Ichael-may Ch

Whatever you find, have fun and good luck!


Do you think the desire to have children is mainly altruistic or mainly selfish?

Thats a good question, but maybe too philosophical. It´s really just an urge. Perhaps, the question is: can an urge not be selfish? When you have an altruistic impulse, you´re really simply trying to satisfy yout own urge. Let me explain better: let´s say you donate money. Even if you do it privately, aren´t you really satisfying a need to feel good about yourself, or maybe, to ease a guilty conscience.\nTaking it a step further, a social biologist, would argue that, even very altruistic deeds, e.g. if you risk/ lose your life to save others (specially kids or women), it still is a very selfish act. The idea is that, since we share so many genes, there might acctually be a better chance of perpetuating your own genes (not the physical dna but the information) by sacrificing yourself and saving a child or a child factory (aka womb).\nThis also idea explains and justifies the urge to save wild animals like lions or apes (but not geckos), their genes are, in large, the same as ours own. Which come down to saying that even tree huggers are kind of selfish. \nSo chillout.

how do i add a site link button to my IE toolbar?

Go to the top menu and click on "View" then "Toolbars", and then if there isn't a check mark beside "Links", you need to click on it to make the Links bar appear at the top of your browser, under the Address bar.\n\nThen go to the web page you want.  Left click the blue explorer icon (which is to the right of http://..., and move it to the links bar and release the mouse button.  Sometimes you have to wait 10 or 15 seconds before it shows up if you have a lot of stuff in your IE favorites folder.\n\nIf you have more than one link, you can rearrange them by left clicking it and dragging it next to another link.\n\nIf you want to rename the link (because sometimes they default name is non-descriptive or too long), then right-click on the new link, and click rename, and enter the new name.

A giro or (in North America) a direct deposit is a method of payment. It has some similarities with a cheque, but whereas a cheque is given to the payee who deposits it in his or her bank, a giro is given by the payer to his or her bank, which transfers funds into the payee's bank. Giro is often used by post offices as well.\n\nAdvantages include:\n\nInstant access to the funds via an ATM or check card. \nThere is no paper cheque that can be lost or stolen. \nPayments made electronically can be less expensive to the payer; typically electronic payments may cost around 25¢ (US) vs. up to $2 to generate, print and mail a paper check.


Well both of course! It's good to save it and invest it into something that will generate more like a savings bond or mutual fund! But spending money can be important too, just don't spend too much and keep it balanced.


I am looking for insurance companies that sell insurance on telecom equipment?

If you are owning equip. under business, must be insured under business, which is not a problem.\nIf for personal use, still not a problem, can endorse to your homeowners policy as scheduled personal property, no deductible. Do not do any other way, not blanket coverage, as this is a rip off for you,\nYou may schedule quite an amount of this equip. on your personal homeowners policy.  Call your agent for assistance.\n\nAll insurance companies should be able to do this for you, and if not, your agent can work it out anyways, not a problem, regardless of what they tell you.\n\nIf this is used for Biz, still no problem.\n\nIf you have the right agent, will be very easy, cost effective.\n\nNot a good idea, unless only single piece, to purchase the insurance from the telecom equipment company, as they will charge you a very high rate for coverage.

A meteroite will not hit Earth for another 50 years.A famous prophet named Nostradamus back in the 1500or1600's had predicted many things that have already occured such as WW1-2,the attacks on the world trade center,and the assassination of President Kennedy among hundreds of other predictions.Nostradamus was a genius he is very rarely wrong on his predictions.According to historians they think that Nostradamus was able to see the future in the year 3097 and that could be the end of the world.However,the world is supposed to end according to the Mayans on December 21, 2012 which is the first day of winter.The reason for that is that supposedly Jesus and the Devil are going to fight for world domination in Meggido,Israel.That place has had about 31 battles in its history.They beleive that Jesus will bring three horses one black which represents stravation and suffering,a red horse representing death, and a white horse representing purity.The Devil will have an Anti-Christ and a three headed monster with horns to help him defeat Jesus.Many historians believed that Ronald Wilson Reagan was the Anti-Christ because his first, middle,and last name have six letters representing 666 the devils notorious symbol.Historians also believe that the more natural disasters occur the closer we are to ("Armageddon")the end of the world.There was a famous prophet who died about thirty years ago by the name of Edgar Cayce.He had many visions of Armageddon.He has made thousands of predictions more than Nostradamus.But, I strongly beleive Nostradamus was the greatest prophet of all time.The recent tsunami,erthquakes in Europe,landslides in California,the eruption of Mt Helen,the 1996 blizzard,the war in Afghanistan and Iraq and the violence in the middle east,and the recent massive violence in France, and hurrican Katrina indicate the world is almost over.You can go to History.com and buy a collection of videos that explain prophecies and the end of the world (Armageddon).

my question is about property which is held in joint tedency?

That's joint tenantcy.  What is your question?\n\nJoint tenantcy avoids probate under normal circumstances. When one of the joint tenants dies, the other automatically becomes the sole owner.  (Or for three, it becomes a 50/50 tenantcy, etc.)  It does not have to be real estate, either.  Bank accounts which are labeled "joint accounts" are governed by the same rules.  Thus, if you have been sharing a checking account with someone who dies, you just go right on writing checks against it, cool as you please.  I had that happen to me, but I decided to open a new account anyway, as I was not able to find Steve's store of extra checks, and was afraid they might be in the wrong hands.  In an excess of caution, I opened a new account in my own name, then transferred all the money in the joint account to it once all checks had cleared.\n\nDoes that answer the question you did not state?

What is the name of the force established by the UN General Assembly to act in the Suez Channel?

The name was United Nations Emergency Force, UNEF. \n\nWith the authority that provided the resolution "United by the peace", the UNGA, in a series of resolutions, requested the aim of the hostilities the United Nations Emergency Force, UNEF; in order to supervise that all the parts in conflict fulfilled the conflict. \nAt the end of December 1956, the British and French troops had retired of Egypt, and in March of 1957 the preparations for the retirement of the Israeli troops had been made.

Check your states laws first!  Consignment though a gunstore is the easiest but you may not get as much for it.  Some newspapers will not let you advertise firearms for sale.  Ebay will not let you sell your gun online, only parts.  There are online sites that do deal with gun auctions.  You'll have to do a search for them.  Try posting an ad at a local shooting range.  Most ranges have bulletin boards that you can list your gun on.  In some states you must complete a "private party transfer" through a Federal Firearms Dealer when selling to an individual.

Genesis 3:20 Adam named his wife Eve (Eve probably means  living), because she would become the mother of all the living.\n\nThat rules out any other 'original' mother.  You can decide to believe what you want, I think it's always better to have some evidence for what you believe rather than pulling it totally out of the air.  The Bible gives absolutely no indication of any other people created by God.  Adam and Ever were to be the parents of all the races to come.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) is a United States government agency having primary responsibility for enforcing the Federal securities laws and regulating the securities industry. The SEC was created by section 4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (now codified as 15 U.S.C. § 78d). In addition to the 1934 Act that created it, the SEC enforces the Securities Act of 1933, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and other statutes. The laws providing for the SEC removed some regulatory authority from the Federal Trade Commission.\n\nThe SEC consists of five Commissioners appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. Their terms last five years and are staggered so that one Commissioner's term ends on June 5 of each year. To ensure that the SEC remains non-partisan, no more than three Commissioners may belong to the same political party. The President also designates one of the Commissioners as Chairman, the SEC's top executive.\n\nPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr, father of future President John F. Kennedy, to serve as the first Chairman of the SEC.

I'm not sure about NY since I don not live there, bu legally since you have viitation rights to see your son on specific dates and times then legallay you have every right to take him, your son's father has no right leglly to keep him from you no matter his reason.  I would go to your attorney and file a complaint with the courts.  He on the other hand can also file a compaint staing that he does not want his some to be around that grandmother, but the courts will have to do an investiation as to whether he has a just cause or no.  I will tell you if they do find her unfit to be around then you will of course still have your visitation, but you will not be able to take your son around her at any time, unless it is approved by the judge.  Good Luck and go get your son, if he refuses on your day then I advise you to call the cops and have them interfere, and have your visitation papers in hand for the poice to see, they will make him hand over your son.


I am trying to find out how doctors find out DNA type?

Physicians and forensic scientists use a variety of methods, but usually don't use X-ray crystallography (at least I don't think so). Instead they will use either PCR-RFLP (to amplify DNA and then break it apart into bands that are unique for each person to help identify the person) or Southern blotting (same thing as PCR-RFLP but also uses radioactive probes to detect specific DNA sequences, such as if you wish to match DNA you have from a crime scene with DNA from a suspect). These methods are far more common, fast, and effective (generally).\n\nAs DNA technology develops, people can now also use microsatellites (small DNA repeats that are unique to each person) and/or genetic markers (areas of DNA that are "linked" genetically to other areas of DNA).

Is it bad to still love your old girlfriend after you get married to someone else?

If your still in love with your old girlfriend, then why did you get married in the first place?  You are cheating your current wife out of all your heart, and if you are still holding a torch for your ex, then you need to cut your wife loose.  She doesn't deserve to live that way.

I need to research the verbal communicaton of Italians?

As far as nonverbal communication, I imagine all people communicate nonverbally. (it may be that Italians are more expressive?) If you want to learn Italian, go to a bookstore and buy a book on Beginning Italian oy maybe an Italian phrasebook, for a start.


The only way to check them if that happens or something simmiliar happens is to enable arhciving of offline messages as well as any other messages that people send you so that way if it does happen you can go back to your archives, I believe it will be in options or in the view menu or something like that, It seems to change from version to version, so obviously it will be different dependant on the version you have.


Protein and carbohydrates! Vegetables! Eat three good meals a day, and two to three healthy snacks. Don't skip. And exercise. Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you can get on a good regimen of lifting light weights, you can put on muscle and gain the weight. (Even if you just get 2 lb. dumbbells and work out your arms, you'll see a difference in a couple of weeks.)

All are NROTC schools.


can you tell me the words to [Jesus take the wheel]?

CARRIE UNDERWOOD- JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL\n\nShe was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati \nOn a snowy white Christmas Eve \nGoin' home to see her Mama & her Daddy with the baby in the backseat \nFifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline \nIt'd been a long hard year \nShe had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention \nShe was going way to fast \nBefore she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass \nShe saw both their lives flash before her eyes \nShe didn't even have time to cry \nShe was so scared \nShe threw her hands up in the air \n\n[Chorus:] \nJesus, take the wheel \nTake it from my hands \nCause I can't do this on my own \nI'm letting go \nSo give me one more chance \nTo save me from this road I'm on \nJesus, take the wheel \n\nIt was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder \nAnd the car came to a stop \nShe cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock \nAnd for the first time in a long time \nShe bowed her head to pray \nShe said I'm sorry for the way \nI've been living my life \nI know I've got to change \nSo for now on tonight \n\n[Chorus:] \nJesus, take the wheel \nTake it from my hands \nCause I can't do this on my own \nI'm letting go \nSo give me one more chance \nTo save me from this road I'm on \n\nOh, Jesus, take the wheel___\nOh, I'm letting go \nSo give me one more chance \nSave me from this road I'm on \nFrom this road I'm on \nJesus, take the wheel \nOh, take it, take it from me \nOh, why, oh

Why when you try to get free credit report on internet they want credit card #?

The actual way to legitimately get your free credit reports from the 3 major credit reporting bureaus is to visit the site below. \nYou should never have to give your credit card info to get your free credit reports. The Law requires that each of the three major credit bureaus supply you with at least one report each year at your request. \nYou do not have to pay, you do not have to sign up for any credit watching schemes, and this website is designed specifically by the credit bureaus to comply with the law. It is probably the safest place to supply with your information. Other websites with similar names try to get your information and sell it or they try to sign you up for things you dont need. If you have further questions please post them. YOU NEVER HAVE TO GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO.


I was told I had a pancreatitis but none of my test say that and none of the medicine work has anyone had this

Maybe its chronic pancreatitis with SOD?  I had an ERCP and I am much better.  I was the same as you, where they did many tests but couldn't find the cause.  It may still return for me but we'll just have to monitor it.  There are tons of resources online.


what happened to toilet paper in pastel colors? why is all you can purchase now just white?

The dyes that were used in making tcolored toilet papers were found to be potentially dangerous to the sensitive area to which they were being applied. Some people had serious negative reactions to the dye, others just some irritation. It was better to stop that altogether than face the possibilty of a class action suit for the sake of appealing to one's need to have a pretty bathroom as a marketing strategy.

Is it Turin or Torino?? I know the Olympics is Torino 2006, but is Torino in Turin?

I think that in Italy they call it Torino, but it's known as Turin to the rest of the world. Just like people in Spain call their country Espania, but the rest of the world calls it "Spain"\n\nOoops... I meant Espana. Sorry about that. And when I meant the rest of the world class it "Spain", when an English person refers to it as "Spain", other people would know what they mean (whether you're Russian, German, etc.). Every language has a different name for different places.


Since evolution is the study of the past, why do scientists say they can prove what happened?

Evolution is still happening today, so it is observable. However, it takes many generations for any adaptation to become part of the genetic code of a species, and therefore, only in a great many generations will there be any concrete proof. Scientists do not claim to have proved it, at least, none of the scientists I've consulted on this matter. They say there is a lot of evidence to substantiate the theory of evolution and none to disprove it, which I believe to be true. Because of this, it's a theory that has ceased to be contested. However, it is still a theory, with lots of evidence in it's favor but no proof.


I would definitely not go out with him, because a)  he's afraid to be commmited.  Really, why be with someone who will dump you in 3 weeks or less? b)He thinks he is better than you- why should someone like him go out with someone like you? *please, I'm not trying to offend you* c)he's not even sure if he really likes you.  Come on, why else would he keep it a secret? d) he's afraid of what his friends/coworkers/parents might think.  If he's afraid of what they might think, chances are he's easily persuaded by others and doesn't even trust himself(or his decisions), which will make it hard for you to trust him. e) he's using you! who says he doesn't have another girlfriend and that's the real reason he doesn't want anyone to know?  Don't let yourself be used!


Sounds like your tooth is infected.  If you don't have insurance and can't afford the dentist, I would suggest going to the emergency room... at least there they can prescribe you an antibiotic and some pain medication.  Even without insurance, an emergency room at a hospital has to see you and treat you.  The antibiotic will take care of the infection now and the pain should go away.. however, beware.. until you see a dentist and have the tooth either fixed or taken out, it's going to eventually become infected again and you'll once again be in pain.  \n\nUntil you can either get to a dentist or get to an emergency room, you can take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength for the pain.  It has an anti-inflammatory in it so it's going to work better than Tylenol or aspirin.\n\nGood luck to you.


i did a store bought yeast infection kit and used it, how long should it take to clear up?

it depends on what type you bought.  Read the label on the box.


Functional or Medical reasons for Pubic and Arm pit hairs?

Well, they are there for a few reasons.  Way back in caveman days, men and women were supposed to be attracted to each others BO...yuck. And more hair there, meant more BO.  Also, pubic hair is there so there will be less friction caused by sex and things like legs rubbing together, etc.  Now, we really don't need underarm hair, but shaving pubic hair is just a matter of choice. It still does help decrease friction.

what is the proper way to send a wage requirement to a company with a resume?

Its usually a good idea to give a range.  Like lower 50's or upper 40's.  That way you have some wiggle room when they low ball you.  Companies are just trying to reduce costs, so they want to pay you as little as possible.


I can only play my computer games in windowed mode or I get screen tearing/flashing and crashing. ideas?

It is obvious that you run out of memory. You've got a pretty strong system however, with continued usage, say 10 minutes, your temporary memory is clogged with all the data that is now obselete. What should happen is that the old data should be dumped and new data should be accomodated. What is actually happening is that your old data sits pretty, exhausting your memory, though after 10 minutes of usage coz you've got plenty of it. You need some program like MEMTURBO or others, some of which are free as well. What these memory management program do is that they clear the old and make room for the new.\n\nThe reason for choppy video being, when you run out of memory the graphic signals bypass the memory and are processed without a buffer either from the hard disk or the network connection, which is obivously not as fast as the buffer (memory). Hope this helps.

Why do you think is the best reason why people always wanted to go to America?

i don't think it was so much about going to america that was the big deal, but rather the getting the hell away from whatever it was (land competition, war, oppression, bad economics) in their homeland that was making their lives difficult. happy people do not generally emigrate. so, as the daughter of an immigrant, i'd say it was to make a better life than the one they were living. unfortunately, much of that promise is hype rather so much than reality. (a grain of truth in all hype, but it's still hype.)

Only 13 People On Yahoo Answers Can Read This...Can you?

yes. this is what you said:\n\nI could not believe that I could actually understand what I was reading. The phenomenol power of the human mind, according to a research at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place.\nThe rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole.\nAmazing huh? yeah and I always thought spelling was important!


Do you have to do a tour of duty if you are in the marine infantry reserves?

Your question is a little confusing.\n\nFirst, if he signed up as a reserve infantryman, then he has no official obligation to deploy. If there was no war going on, he would just do his "one weekend a month" and call it a day. However, with the operational tempo of the Marine Corps at present time, chances are he would be activated in the next year anyway.\n\nSecond, you made it sound like he signed up active infantry and is thinking about going reserve infantry. If I'm wrong in assuming that, I'm sorry. But, if he signed up active and is now thinking of trying to switch to reserve, good luck. The Marine Corps almost never lets you do that. It's possible, but they'll fight tooth and nail to keep you from doing it.\n\nWhatever the case may be, if he's a newbie to the Corps and he's a grunt, he'll most likely be headed to combat in the next year or two. Welcome to the Corps. Semper Fi.


Why isnt Broadband and DSL in my area? Is it because the areas dominated by a cable provider? Specific answer.

Cable Internet service IS a type of 'broadband'.\n\nContact your Cable provider for Internet service.\n\nThere are MANY areas of the country, and the cities around where I live that cannot receive DSL due to the distance from a phone exchange.  Some phone companies are starting to put 'repeating' stations up in order to extend their DSL coverage area.\n\nthe cable service is FAR better in my area.


I think you can classify in good or bad according to the reactions it produces on you. What sensation are you looking for? Music help us to enter in sintony with low or high frequencies, so it will depends on what music makes you feel.

Be wise to choose between thinks that bring you good feelings and remember that sometimes songs and sounds needs of silence. Feel free to desagree...

if my bst frnd doesnt want 2 tell his prob wot shld i do?

Be patiently available to him, and let him know that you would not be critical if he was willing to talk to you.  But don't pressure him.  Has it occurred to you that the problem may be ABOUT you?  That's one reason why he might not want to confide in you.  Also, remember that a secret once told cannot be un-told.  He may have considered discussing it with you, and concluded that he'd rather not risk your friendship, or take whatever other risks there might be in confiding.  Respect his right to work out his own problems by himself if that's what he wants to do.

ice skating and gymnastics, they're just so pretty...  i would also like to see bowling added (Thats my sport) btw to all yas who say thats not a real sport, i would like to see you bowl a 300, if it were that easy we'd all be, and trust me its not, im still waiting for my ring...   Also bowling is the 2nd most participated sport in the world, or at least the US, not sure... and i dont think it would compare to lets say the gymnastics ratings, but i think it can get people interested...  I think what they should do even if theres not enough interest in the sport to do it every year, they could add a few rotating sports, until it catches on... just do it every other olympics or something, but at least it gets the sport noticed and in the door...  ok im rambling\n\nEm

Reasons that somebody desires to live in hell?

In my opinon, since Satan is the ultimate evil, I'd think that he would appreciate evil deeds and congratulate those who enter Hell on whatever bad thing they did, and they would live quite nicely forever. Maybe that is why somebody would want to live in Hell.

Is a photograph of a trade-marked item a work in its own rights?

Sure, it's a work in it's own right, but that doesn't exempt photograpers from the normal trademark laws.\n\nIf a "picture" of Mickey Mouse were used in a manner that Disney diapproved of, they can certainly have a cease and desist order issued to prevent the use of their tradmarked asset.  Remember, you don't have to be necessarily using a product for commercial gain in order to be in violation of trademark laws.  Anything you do that a trademark holder can prove is somehow damaging the value of their trademark can be grounds for a civil suit.\n\nThe laws allow newspapers and television news to print or air events that are considered "newsworthy."  Trademarked items aren't exempt from this.  The media is given the right to report on whatever they deem newsworthy.


What are the 8 major ports in the US of A?

There are only six affected by the Dubai Ports Worldwide takeover.  You should also know that the company isn't taking over the entire port.  They're only managing some of the terminals.  The number in parentheses shows how many they'll be operating in each port if the deal goes through)\n\nBaltimore (2 of 14)\nHouston (4 of 12)\nMiami (1 of 3)\nPhiladelphia (1 of 5)\nNew Orleans (2 of 5)\nNewark, NJ (1 of 4)\n\nHope that helps ya!  Don't forget to rate the best answer!\n\n\nEDIT: LOL, Loco!  Reminds me of when I was in science class in 8th grade.  The teacher put the question: "Name the four states of matter" on the test.   Then he wrote on the board:\n\n"States that matter: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Key West."

My boyfriend likes to touch me in certain palces I don't want to be touched and keeps aking me to have sex.

He is pressuring you. If he loves you, he will wait. Also, if he says that you need to, then you need to leave him. In addition, you may need to "take the wind out of his sails." If he calls you a wimp, baby, or other degrading things (i can't mention) then you can possibly say "maybe I am a [insert word here], but I am not going to have sex.\n\nI know it sounds corny, but remember - No means No!

How is legal mediation supposed to work? What if legal mediation fails?

As a mediator, I have to say that I disagree with "Travlin' Grama"'s response to this question.  She has apparently confused mediation with arbitration. \n\nTo answer your question, first of all, I'm not sure what you mean by "legal mediation".  Do you mean mediation for disputes for which litigation is proceeding?  Do you mean divorce mediation? It's also hard to answer your question without knowing what state you're living in or what kind of dispute you're talking about.\n\nIn any event, here's a general answer, regardless of what kind of mediation you're asking about:  Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process which enables parties in conflict to find a way to resolve their differences in a way that works and makes sense for them. Mediation is designed to help both parties win.  (This is different from court which envisions an outcome in which one person will win and one will lose.) The terms of the agreement that people reach through mediation are determined by them, NOT by the mediator.  You do not have to agree to an outcome you're not satisfied with.  \n\nIf mediation fails and the parties are unable to achieve resolution, then the parties are free to pursue whatever courses of action are available to them. This could mean going to court and allowing a judge to make a decision resolving their issues.  There is, however, no negative consequence for the parties if mediation doesn't work, since mediation is voluntary.  \n\nIf you have further questions about mediation, especially when it's apparent that legal issues may be involved, please don't seek answers for it here where you may get advice from people who are not in the best position to give you the information you need. For accurate information on mediation, contact the National Association for Community Mediation at www.nafcm.org or the Association for Conflict Resolution at www.acrnet.org. You can also check with your attorney, your local courthouse or your local bar association if you have questions about "legal mediation" or legal issues.

Big Bang theory traces Creation to a singularity =where did they get temperature from?

The frequency can be converted to energy, which has an equivalent temperature. Your question is rife with confusion. I attached a reference about the Big Bang that might clear some of it up.\n\nHere is the way to get the temperature of a wave of frequency f:\n\nE=hf\n\nwhere E is energy and h is Planck's constant. Also, for each degree of freedom, \n\nE=kT/2\n\nso for the photon with 2 degrees of freedom (2 spins), \n\nE=kT\n\nwhere k is Boltzmann's constant (the universal gas constant divided by Avogadro's number), and T is temperature.\n\nso T=E/k=hf/k \n\n(see references)

It has a minor specific gravity, or density.\n\nI came back, but I have seen that the Q has been answered. I want just to give another link and make more schematic the answer. \nThe link is : www.simetric.co.uk\nFor the rest : density = mass / volume\n         and : weight = mass * gravity\nCombining them, we obtain the following\n               weight = density * volume * gravity \nGravity, is a costant measure. So, if 2 liquids have the same volume and one of them has smaller density, is lighter than the other, because the weight is smaller.\nI use this schematic way in my pharmacy, when I try to explain something to my clients and (usually) it works.\nI hope that I was not boring.\n\nKaterina\n\nP.S. Why is not highlighted the link that I gave in my text, as in the following answer?


How do you get over your ex that is always in your face but yet you like it that he is in your face?

How to design a fresnel lens and can any one gimme a practical design example?

A Fresnel lens basically approximates the curvature of a spherical lens in small coaxial segments; the result being the same as if you cut a plano-convex or plano-concave lens into such segments and then cut off a hollow cylinder of material from each segment such that what remains is, roughly, the curved top, a newly-cut flat bottom, and one vertical side (i.e., a near-triangular cross section).  Obviously some material needs to be left to hold all these segments together, so there will be a small fourth side, i.e. a constant added thickness.  The 'curved' top may actually be flattened for easier manufacture.  Some old lighthouses use concentric circular 3-sided prisms, a real approximation.  I'd guess that segment size, valley and peak values depend on the material's mechanical properties more than optics.

Regarding asynchronous and synchronous connection, which would be better for short distance transmission?

In general synchronous connection would be better suited for short distance, because of a more reliable connection. \nSynchronous is easier to use by software on each side.\n\nAsynchronous uses a fire and forget mechanism which targets less reliable transmissions and needs extra mechanisms to make sure transmitted data is consistent.

what's the diffrence between dvd-r and dvd+r?

There appears to be no physical, and little functional, difference between the DVD-R/-RW discs and the DVD+R/+RW discs. The DVD-R ("dash” R) and -RW media are officially approved by the group called DVD Forum, and the DVD+R ("plus” R) and +RW are not. The DVD+R/+RW media are supported by the DVD+RW Alliance.\n\nThe main difference seems to lie in the DVDs' built-in defects management, the way they can be formatted and, of course, their price.\n\nSOURCE : http://netforbeginners.about.com/cs/multimedia/a/DVD_discs_2.htm


Can Muslim change his religon withiut being KILLED ????

Reading the all these "Yes" posted in response to the question as if it was "still" a granted freedom to change or leave Islam is evidence that people often don't understand that religions are not all the same...\n\nLeaving Islam is Apostasy. It is not "considered" IT IS A CRIME as quoted in all aspect of Islamic scriptures and legislatures in or outside of Islamic countries.\n\nIf a member of you family turns his back to Islam it brings shame to reletatives.\nHonor crimes are endorsed in the Koran, which explains the killings or at least the mistreatment of people who leave Islam even today.\n\nThe Koran is very very very clear and explicit, you do not need to be a scholar to figure out that leaving Islam puts you in a position where you become less than a slave. A muslim may not focus on those passages yet a more fondamentalist will use the same scriptural autority to apply this inhuman blackmail.\n\nHere are the quotes from Islamic scriptures:\nAnd do get a Koran yourself, read in your living room on your own. \n\nI am not quoting everything about Apostasy (Leaving islam) but they should make you understand why a peaceful Muslim may feel tremendous termoil when faced to choose between his heart and the situation of someone leaving the religion...\n\nQuotes:\n\n----------------\n\n"Those who blasphemed and back away from the ways of Allah and die as blasphemers, Allah shall not forgive them." Suratan Nisa', Ayah 48\n\n"Kill whoever changes his religion," Hadith\n\n"Kill those who believe in many gods" (Sura al-Tawba 9:5)\n\n\nHere this is not even the Pakistani constitution:\n\n"If a Muslim is found guilty of the crime of apostasy, either through words or through actions, he will be asked to repent during a three day period. If he has not repented within this time limit, he will be sentenced to death as an apostate and his property will be seized by the Revenue office. Every Muslim who refuses to pray will be asked to comply with the obligation to pray within the prescribed time limit. If he persists in his refusal, he will be punished by death." \n           - Article 306 of the Mauritanian Constitution\n\n---------------------------\n\n\nYES you can be killed for leaving Islam...\n\nEven here in America, many who leave the religion must often move to another location in order to protect the wellbeing of their family and the future of their children. Many leave without mentioning it to anyone so that there is no repercussions about it.\n\nIt is so amazing to take our civil right for granted and express such a naive YES to this question. \n\nThink about the reactions to the cartoons, will you trust someone practicing Islam to tell you it is a religion of tolerance or will you trust how they act and walk their talk ...\n\nGo ! read the Koran, wake up and see what this religion is all about.


Why does it take so long.For the IRS to sent tax refunds.?

Yeah I know whatcha mean, for instance some people are against President Bush's plan to privatize Social Security but that plan he wants for Social Security already exists in Chile and it's working real good too cause loads of retired Chileans are nowadays very rich and thus have plenty of retirement money to support themselves with.\n\nAs it stands right now on average 1 Social Security check is funded by 4 people  and it use to be several more persons funded 1 single Social Security check which means we are getting to the point where Social Security will go broke and so will the Government unless we start privatizing more things.

If you're in the army,what is it like (& why are you there)?

First let me answer why no one is answering. Too scared to have been in the Army.\n\nNOW. The real quesiton. I have been in the Army for 8 years and about to finish my enlistment. Sometimes I hated it. Sometime I wouldn't give anything to change my being in. The Army is just like anything else you do. It's what you make it.\n\nBasic sucked. And it should. It should make you taste what war is like. And that little invention of Clinton's-- the Stress Cards were a joke.\n\nAIT was no picnic either. I was in Ft. Lee which is close to my home town. I guess it could have been worse and it wasn't as bad as Basic.\n\nMy career wasn't bad. A year in Kuwait that was better than it seemed at the time. And I made some friends for life.\n\nI joined for no particular reason. But after I took my oath I realized that I was swearing to protect what so many gave their lives to secure for us and I wanted to secure it for future generations.

for beginners - and people not able to do the more acomplished difficult runs.  I think it's because the regularly used nick name for ladies decades back were "snow bunnies"  \n\nSo maybe, in the eyes of society back then they were "too weak" and in the mens view couldn't handle the regular moutain skiing so they stayed on the easy slopes - hense they ended up being called the bunny slope - cause that's where all the "snow bunnies" and beginners hung out while the "real men" skiied the moutain.  \n\nnow-a-days - it is mainly used for teaching and sometimes tubing down the slope\n\nJMO - ♥

Every company or organisation is based on certain resources for their business. The most primary and important resource for ANY company/organisation/government is HUMAN RESOURCE, which in other words means PEOPLE.\n\nJust like managing anyother resource like your raw materials etc, Human Resource also needs to be managed. And as you know, it is one of the toughest job for any company, big or small.\n\nFollowing are the basic work-areas of a HRM.\n1. Identify and forecast the growth and need for new resources.\n2. Planning for recruitment procedures, process and mechanisms to handle those HR needs.\n3. Identify the bottleneck areas in the organisation from people perspective and work with the management in resolving it.\n4. Act as a intermediary between the employee and the management.\n5. Identify, Forecast and Plan for Employee satisfaction to increase Employee Moral.\n6. Conduct surveys, interviews, discussions, checks and balances to address greivances and complaints.\n7. Balance the Attrition and Recruitment ratio. Escalate if the Attrition rate increases and address the reasons.\n\nWell this is just a FEW of the parameters of HR Management. Hope it helps.\n\n.:Fishie:.

If the bank goes bankrupt, where do they get a loan?

idk is not an answer, stop whoring for points.\n\nAs far as the real answer, all funds in the bank are secured by the federal reserve. Basically, it will never happen again in the forseeable future. Banks are required to hold a reserve of around 10% of all deposits and can borrow from the Federal Reserve at any time (although they prefer to borrow from other banks)\n\nThe banks, and the government, learned their lesson after the bank runs in the 40's

What is the definition of a "soixante-huitard"?

A soixante-huitard is a participant in the student and workers' protest movement of May 1968, or even by his ideas were similar to those who were within these events.\n\nIn May 1968 a general insurrection broke out across France. It quickly began to reach near-revolutionary proportions before being discouraged by the French Communist Party, and finally suppressed by the government, which accused the Communists of plotting against the Republic.

I need business email addresses.  I already have a website, but I don't have email service.  What is the best

Having a site is different from having a domain. To have a site you must having hosting, or computer space set aside to save the information from your site. This hosting should have come with at least some limited email functions. You should contact whoever did your website and get them to set up your email. Don't let them over charge you for this at all. At the very least one email address with limited space should be fine and should be free. Anymore than a few email addresses with great space may cost you, but I would guess no more than around 10$ a month.
