Where is a good place to buy eyeglasses on line.?

Why would you do that? If you can't see then there will be no one to complain to and no one to fix it for you without sending them back. It won't save you money and if you wear the wrong Rx for to long it can do some serious damage to your eyes. You can buy a frame just about anywhere but to get the rx lenses you should seriously consider going to a professional.

How is herpes simplex caught and passed on?\nThe virus is passed directly from skin to skin with friction. It enters easily through mucous membranes, i.e. the moist skin which lines the mouth and genital-anal area. It can also enter through a cut or break in the ordinary skin on other parts of the body: fingers/hands, knees, etc. We call it a whitlow when it's on the fingers.\n\nYou can pass it on whenever the virus is present on the skin surface: from the first warning signs that a recurrence is starting (tingles, aches, stabbing pains) until fresh skin has grown back. The virus may also be transmitted through asymptomatic shedding. There is more about transmission in our "Transmission" leaflet – available to members – see subscription form.\n\nOnly people who do not already carry the virus can catch it. About seven in ten adults already carry herpes simplex virus type 1 and one in ten already carry type 2.

Is Yahoo Messenger or MSN Messenger better?  Why?

Yahoo Messenger, I would highly think that because MSN does not have a lot of color and advantage as yahoo...\n\nI use MSN before and I so totally did not like it.  Maybe if you're more of a serious worker type of person, you might consider using MSN.  For me, I'm into colors so, Yahoo would fit me best...\n\nOn MSN, it is only avaible in greyish blue like color.  Which makes you look at it like as if it is dull and unhappy.  So far, as i know of, I have not seen any type of audibles like in Yahoo.  Adding friends there are not as easy (for me)\n\nOn yahoo, you can choose from 3 different styles of skin.  It can make your day look better by the style.  Yahoo gives you a chance to look at a profile in a much easier way than MSN can let you.  Yahoo can really do much...\n\nSorry if my explantion is so long. \n\nYahoo is much better if you are more of the hyper or happy people and one that loves colors.  \n\nGoodluck choosing.

Why do people think intellectual students are not cool?

Just because someone is smart, others DON'T automatically think they're "not cool". I was A honor roll, National Honor Society, Class President, and all that fun stuff - yet no one ever saw me as a "glasses-wearing intellectual", because it's all about whether or not you know how to have FUN! You can ace every class, and it just matters how you act about it to everyone else. Just relax and try to not be so rigid.

WHY ARE SO MANY AFRAID OF PURE PASSION,W/O SEX??

People tend to desire the physical side of love because it is innately in our system to want proof of love. Through sex and other actions stemmed from that emotion, people feel that they are loved and that, in order to commit such an act, the other person had desired to be with them somehow.\n\nNot everybody is affected by this. There are many couples that do appreciate the pure and chaste forms of love.

Is this site an effective witnessing tool for any belief?

My impression from the Christians on this site (myself included) is that we are trying to at least clear up the confusion about Christianity and the Bible, but whether or not anyone is interested I can't say. \n\n My personal feeling is that if you're going to reject something, say Christ, you should at least know about what you're rejecting.  Some people do understand and reject what the Bible says, but most don't understand at all and have all kinds of pre-conceived notions that they've learned from the culture at large.

wat is micrometer caliper & vernier caliper?

The name explains the micrometer clipers function, here is some history on it\n\n"John Edison Sweet (October 21, 1832-May 8, 1916) was an American mechanical engineer who built the first micrometer caliper in 1873, for making tools, and who invented the “straight line” engine. He was a key founder of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1880 and ASME’s third president (1884-85). Born in Pompey, New York, he died in Syracuse."\n\nThe advantage of the Venier Caliper is that it can measure not just inner distances but also outer distances with its two upper tines.

Answer 1:\n"Glasses" are amorphous solids, that is, they don't have a regular shape.\nEssentially the opposite of crystalline solids which have a defined shape.\nWhen you break a crystalline solid, it will give flat, well defined faces.\nCrystals melt or decompose at definite temps and the change from s to l\nis usually abrupt.  Glass (say window glass) will shatter into irregular\nfaces and curves.  There are many different kinds of glass and none really\nhave a melting point.  All pretty much have silicon dioxide as a principle\ningredient then something else added:  Here are some numbers...keep in mind\nthese are all SOFTENING  points and NOT melting points:\nsilica glass: 1580 Celsius   soda-lime glass: 695 C\nborosilicate glass: 820 C    aluminosilicate glass: 915 C\nleaded glass: 630 C\nWhat I'm trying to say is:  glass isn't a liquid.  It's a solid with so\nmany 'defects' that the order inherent in a crystal is absent.  When I\nsay defects, I'm talking at the molecular level, not physical scratches,\nand so on. You may want to recheck that 100 K number you presented.\nThat's 173 degrees Celsius below zero (-280 F)!\nAm I going to get some arguments about my stance?  I'll find out more\nfrom our resident glassblower here at the university.\n-Joe Schultz\n\nAnswer 2:\nI very much agree with J. Schultz's response...  Here are a couple\nof other observations:\nGlass is formed by melting silicon dioxide (SiO2) which has a\nmelting point of 1710 deg. C..  In its crystalline form, SiO2\nhas a very ordered structure with each Si atom bonded to 4 O atoms\nand each O atom attached to two Si atoms.  If the SiO2 is quickly\ncooled after being melted, the SiO2 "molecules" do not have a chance\nto get completely lined up in their solid crystalline form and thus\nan amorphous solid (glass) is formed.\nOften we like to categorize substances as gas, solid, or liquid..\nobviously, glass is somewhere between a solid and a liquid --\nsome scientists refer to it as a pseudo-solid\n-Dr. Brown

should the usa and canada develope the vast reserves of oil and stop buying oil from the arabs?

YES YES YES... The USA and Canada should DRILL IN THE NORTH COUNTRY.. Use OUR OWN OIL and drive the price of gasoline down to improve both countries ECONOMIES.. As soon as the ECONOMIES are at a point where everyone isn't spending so much on fuel that we can invest the money in FUEL ALTERNATIVES.. After we develop HYDROGEN and NATURAL GAS powered vehicles we can go in and REPAIR and REPOPULATE the areas that we had to use to DRILL and MINE.. It's a pretty simple plan, but of course we'll FOREVER have some ECO-FREAK or LIBERAL whining and crying about the spotted-left handed-migratorial-one eyed-ring tailed otters habitat..

can you get HIV from going down on a girl?

The HIV virus CANNOT survive on its own in the mouth and cannot seriously transmit through salivia. However, if there was an open cut in the mouth, then there is a slight possibility of HIV transmission. If you're concerned about these possibilities, look into purchasing some dental dams, which can act as protection.

He's probably not lying... he may be having a period of remission, and that's why he seems healthy and blooming, but that would not aleays mean that he was not undergoing some sort of treatment. And you are right not to ask him for proof, that would be both rude and hurtful beyond measure.\nWhat you should do now is to continue to be his friend if you can...if it hurts too much to be around him and feeling more than friendship, distance yourself a little, but keep in touch.\nAll my best.

Why does frozen sea water contain less salt than liquid sea water?

Water crystals don't have space for the ion hydrates of salt solutions, the water molecules in ice are orderly arranged in a lattice which allows little movement. There may be residual salt water on the crystal borders or in bubbly inclusions, but water crystals don't contain any salt in their structure.\n\nCrystallization (formation of a solid phase) is a common purification step in chemistry. Crystals are well-defined compounds (or at least well-defined for a range of compositions) and will exclude any "foreign" constituents from the regular lattice.\n\nSome lattices offer hollow parts where foreign constituents can be enclosed without changing the structure (by much). Frozen water does, too, but the caverns are big enough for gas molecules only, not for hydrated ions. On the crystal borders, some of the concentrated salty solvent remaining after the water froze away may be captured and add to the salt content of the ice pieces floating on the sea.

Anyway, you tend to remember dreams that pertain to a lifestyle you have or have had.

which college has the best premedicine program?

There really isn't a such thing as a "pre-medicine" program anymore. Most medical schools can care less about your major. They are concerned more about GPA, MCAT scores, and what you did in undergrad as far as activities. There are some undergrad programs that are geared more toward preparing you for med school, but if you don't get into med school (most people don't) there isn't very much that you can do with one of these majors. If you are looking at a place to do your undergrad, you may want to look at whether the school has an advisor especially for pre-professional students. I am a premed student and my advisor knows exactly what I need to do to get into med school. Also see if the school has an organization known as Alpha Epsilon Delta. It is a pre-preofessional honor society that has proven to be a good support system for me and allows me to know others in my class.

What is the difference between a desktop and a workstation? I am thinking about alienware, any suggestions.?

There may have been a distinction between a desktop and a workstation in the past but there's only a faint gray line that differentiates the two today.  A workstation can do anything a consumer desktop can and vice versa.  So essentially, they mean the same thing.\n\nIf you ask Dell or Alienware, however, they'll probably say workstations are for business and desktops are for consumers.  For computer manufacturers, a workstation usually means some of the latest technology.  They tend to have SATAII, beefier minimum RAM than deskops, and stronger processors for their "base systems".  Of course, you could always configure a base consumer desktop with all of that, so the distinction is moot.\n\nIf you look carefully, though, there may be one or two small differences.  Workstations may prefer to use more expensive ECC RAM.  Their video cards may be ISV-certified and use "workstation-level" video graphic cores (nVidia Quadro instead of GeForces, ATI FireGL instead of Radeons).  And almost always, their starting configurations tend to use a CDROM (cause, you know, why would you need a DVD burner for work?!).\n\nAgain, all of this can be changed.  You can buy a workstation with a DVD burner, you can stick in a GeForce 7800GTX, and most likely you can use non-ECC RAM (check motherboard requirements first though).\n\nSo if you're an avid gamer and need a good media machine, something from Alienware should do just fine.  Personally I would choose a no-frills basic model like Dell's XPS400 or E510, get memory from Crucial.com (or a good local store), and buy the video card from NewEgg.com.  \n\nI'm not familiar with molecular modeling programs but I would ask around if they are multi-processor enabled applications (which means can more than one processor be recognized by the program).  If so, you may want to get a dual-core processor as the modeling program can take advantage of the extra core and help with the number crunching.  If not, then choosing a regular single-core CPU would suit you fine and save some cash (it would be money wasted as games don't effectively use a second core).  For RAM, ask around about your modeling program because it would be primarily your task.  For games, you'll want at least 1GB of RAM.  For video cards, I would chose whatever your budget allows you.  The Nvidia 6600/6800/7800 lines are really good right now and I wouldn't suggest any ATIs at the moment except for the top-of-the-line X850/X1800.

How do you get the Buchner filtration to pull more liquid without stiring and ripping the filter paper?

Yeah, that's a good suggestion.  \nYou might also want to try stirring with a bulbous glass stirring rod or a rubber policeman very carefully.  Also, I think you'd be okay if you stir without making contact with the paper.  Perhaps the best suggestion, though, would be to pull through a little bit of your sample at a time; that way, your filter can handle pulling almost all of the liquid out of a small sample, then you add more in, etc., until it's all in and dry.


how to keep my husband from climaxing quickly?

Are you beautiful? It could be very difficult if you are centerfold material. How frequently are you having relations? Could he wear a condom with a little lube. If your stuff is tight, that has a tendency to rush things along. Some women only climax through intercourse, some through oral. Which are you? Maybe he can compensate for his quickness. Try longer foreplay, changing positions, and discussing world politics during fun time. Buy a Tommy Lasorda mask and wear that.

you need to make another screen name, link it to the other one, and add that person on your new SN's buddy list. Then if they are on on one sn and not the other they have blocked you or you have blocked them.

Why does my home network allow me to access all computers but only one can access the internet?

OK, I am going to give it a shot.  If you can, let us know your operating system, that can also make a large difference.\n\nQuite often, I see this when the router was not configured properly.  You may have to put your username and password into it, so it can log you into your ISP.\n\nMake sure it has DHCP enabled, and that DHCP is also enabled on the other computers.  Without an IP address the router recognized, your computers will not be able to get on the internet.  And make sure that each computer has a different network ID.  If you use any NT based OS (NT, Win2K, XP) you may need to make sure they are all members of the same workgroup.  This does not always matter, but on some routers it does.\n\nIf all this is correct, try disconnecting the power to the modem and router for about 10 minutes, and turn off all the computers.  This will let it grab gresh information from your ISP.\n\nOne last thing, go into your IE Properties, and go to Connection/Lan Settings, and make sure that "Automatically Detect Settings" is turned on.\n\nIf this does not work, more info will help to pin the problem down more precisely.

list of corrupted countries in their increasing order?

i'm not sure what the census has to do with it, but the berlin-based watchdog group Transparency International publishes a ranking of countries called the Corruption Perception Index.  you can see the 2005 edition and read about the ranking methods here:\n\nhttp://ww1.transparency.org/cpi/2005/cpi2005.sources.en.html\n\naccording to the page, iceland was the least corrupt country in 2005, whereas chad and bangladesh tied for the most corrupt.\n\nps - i really do fail to fathom what the census has to do with it, unless you are speaking of some other census than the US census, which measures population, not corruption, and only takes place every 10 years on years ending in 0.

Is there somethig as wirless electricity?

By Lance Ulanoff  \nImagine a world where all your portable devices can be charged and powered simply by placing them on a desktop. Chip manufacturer MobileWise has gone well beyond imagining such a world and this week unveiled "a conductive solution" that it believes can make it all possible.\n\nDuring a mid-day press conference in chilly New York City, MobileWise showed off a handful of functioning prototype powerbases and retrofitted mobile devices that all use the company's new MobileWise chipset and enable "Wire-Free" electric power. One chip, the tiny Adapter Controller, goes inside the mobile device and the other, the Contact Controller, gets built into the power base station. These power bases, which were shown in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors, are each covered in an array of gold-plated contacts. The retrofitted mobile devices also have a pair of contracts. With properly configured handheld devices, the bases can, according to company CEO Andy Goren, change any flat surface into a charging/power station.\n\n \n \n \nThe patent-pending technology behind the MobileWise is, on the surface, quite simple. The adapter chip inside the handheld device will, when placed on a base station, receive a very small electrical signal and message from the base controller chip that will power up the adapter chip. The base controller chip will sense for polarity. If there is none (say you place your hand on the base) then it does nothing. If it does find polarity and then a signal from the adapter chip, it will then read information about the voltage level necessary to run the mobile device and begin charging and powering it. Because of the array of contacts—from dozens to hundreds, depending on base size—there's no need to place the device in a special spot or position on the base. In fact, during the demonstration we saw the bases accept multiple devices, charging and powering them all at once.\n\nThe solution is not actually entirely "wire free", however. The base station is plugged into an AC adapter and can deliver up to 30V DC to an individual device. It's also, according to Goren, completely safe, and if any charge were delivered to a person, it would be at the level of a low-voltage battery, virtually imperceptible to humans and certainly not harmful, he added. The final base units will also, he said, be waterproof and protected from electrostatic charges. \n \n \n\n\nDespite calls for MobileWise to manufacture the bases, Goren said the company plans instead on delivering the chipsets to partners who will likely build the adapter chip and proper contacts into their products and OEM the power base manufacturing to another company. MobileWise showed a variety of colors and form factors for the bases.\n\n \n \n \nAcer has already partnered with MobileWise and, according to Goren, may ship a MobileWise-enabled notebook by Q1 of next year. But MobileWise has, it seems, even more intriguing plans on the horizon. The company is already in discussion with a couple of major office furniture manufacturers to build the power array bases and controller chips into furniture. Apparently, these bases are for more than just mobile devices. Properly-equipped televisions, lamps and more could be powered by the bases—Goren even had an HDTV that worked with one of the larger ones. Later next year, MobileWise expects to add data handshake capabilities to the chipset, allowing, once the signal is split, data delivery over the same contacts.\n\nWhile no shipping units currently exist, MobileWise said the adapter chips run roughly $1.25 a piece adding, it said, just a few dollars in manufacturing costs to mobile devices and the base stations could, in units of 100,000 cost roughly $11 to manufacturers. Goren said he expects a mid-sized base (roughly 12 by 18 inches) to sell for $160 street. Not every mobile device will have to be retrofitted, by the way. MobileWise says it expects to see a ha


Who do you think is going to win the Super Bowl and why do you think that team is going to win ?

I say Pittsburgh will win. They have became road warriors and becoming the first 6 seed team to make the big show. Plus this is probably the bus’s last game so that makes the team want to win it for him. \n\nI think Seahawks will choke in the big game. What happen to Carolina? They should have won that game!\n\nBig Ben is a great qb to only be in the NFL for two years. He will be big in the Super Bowl.

If you're an atheist, what are your reasons for disbelief?

For me it has a lot to do with a dearth of evidence. I spent time looking for god when I was younger, but could never find him. As I grew older I became more aware of the arrogance that necessarily accompanies religion. "I'm saved. You're not. My old book is better than your old book!"\n\nIf Jesus was the answer, were my Hindu friends bound for hell? People seemed to think so. I couldn't accept this any more readily than I could believe in reincarnation. It all seemed quite silly to me. \n\nPeople base their entire existences around certain texts that were written by men who believed that the Earth was the center of the universe. It took centuries for them to admit that they were wrong. They threatened Galileo with death for uncovering the truth. Unacceptable.\n\nAnyone who steps back for a moment and looks at the situation with a modicum of reason can see how insane this is.\n\nWe live in a world where wars are fought because of religion. People die in agony every day because they can't agree on ancient books.\n\nI long for the day when we've relegated this insanity to the history books.


My first question to you is:\n\nWhy would any man compare his woman with an ex? Tacky, tacky, tacky, and HIGHLY disrespectful to you! \n\nMy second question is- do you feel adequately lubricated to enjoy sex? As long a sex isn't uncomfortable, you don't have to worry about how you compare to other women. Also, depending on where you are at in your cycle, you can produce more or less lubrication. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, that can affect it, as can many different medications.\n\nIt sounds like *he* is the one with the problem. ;) \n\nIf you want to know more about this, I suggest picking up Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler, it will explain how your hormones fluctuate (in a very easy to understand way, it's not boring at all)- I haven't met a woman who has read this book who wasn't blown away by how much we are NOT taught about our bodies, and how normal we truly are!

anyone know anything about the womens movement [1960-1975]?

From 1960 to the Present\n\nThe revival of feminism in the sixties is often dated from the appearance of Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique. This 1963 best-seller found a receptive audience among middle- and upper-class women whose experiences Friedan captured. Although her book was important for its challenge to the ideology of domesticity, other factors also contributed to the reemergence of feminism. Unprecedented numbers of married women were being drawn into the job market--albeit on unequal terms--as the service sector of the economy expanded and consumerism fueled the desire of many families for a second income. Both the growing numbers of women graduating from college and the availability of the birth-control pill (which accelerated the already noticeable decline in the birthrate) further encouraged women's entry into the work force. By the early sixties the contradiction between the realities of paid work and higher education, on the one hand, and the still pervasive domestic ideology, on the other, could no longer be reconciled. Equally important in sparking feminist consciousness were the oppositional movements of the sixties, particularly the black freedom movement, which was a source of inspiration and a model for social change for second-wave feminists.\n\nThe new feminism emerged from two groups of educated, middle-class, predominantly white women. The National Organization for Women (now) consisted mainly of politically moderate professionals; those who stressed women's liberation were younger, more radical women and typically veterans of the black freedom movement and the New Left. For the former, John F. Kennedy's establishment of the President's Commission on the Status of Women (pcsw) in 1961 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited employment discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, and national origin, were important catalysts for change. The pcsw, with Eleanor Roosevelt as chair, was charged with the task of documenting the position of American women in the economy, legal system, and the family. Its 1964 report uncovered such pervasive sex discrimination that many commissioners were shocked. Most states also convened commissions that similarly documented widespread sex discrimination. It was at the third national meeting of the state commissions in 1966 that now was born. Angered by the failure of the newly created Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (eeoc) to enforce the anti-sex discrimination provision of Title VII, twenty-eight women (including Friedan) formed the organization to pressure the government into challenging sex discrimination.\n\nLike the naacp after which it was modeled, now adopted a legalistic and assimilationist approach to achieving women's equality. Rather than challenging their subordination in domestic life, the feminists of now committed themselves to fighting for women's integration into public life. Early debates in now concerned the group's advocacy of abortion rights and the Equal Rights Amendment (era). Indeed, when now accorded top priority to the era in its 1968 Bill of Rights, women from the United Auto Workers (out of whose offices the first now mailings had been sent) were pressured to resign from now because of their union's opposition to the amendment. From the moment the era was first discussed by feminists in 1920, it had caused enormous divisiveness; many feared that its passage, by invalidating legislation protective of women, would lead to worsening work conditions for them. This time around, however, opposition to the era from progressive and feminist quarters evaporated quickly when it became clear that the courts and the eeoc were already interpreting Title VII as invalidating protective legislation. Indeed, the women of the United Auto Workers rejoined now two years later when their union endorsed the amendment.\n\nOver the years now's membership became more heterogeneous and it

I am Methodist my husband Pentecostal. Is it ok for husband & wife to go to seperate churches.?

I would say generally no, especially if you are both Christian.\n\n"Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything." -Ephesians 5:22-24\n\nYou see men are called to be the spiritual leader (or head) in their homes. Now does that mean you guys should only go to his church? No, not nesseccarily. He needs to make a judgement about your needs, and the teachings in the churches under consideration. \n\nand one last thing...\n\nThe enemy is already trying to destroy your marriage, and one of the best ways is to keep you seperated. You need to be together in you spiritual life if no where else in your day.\n\nGod Bless,\n\nRobert

is it true that esqemos in alaska ship their elderly out on ice burgs when they get a certain age?

Well, first you learn how to use "spell check" on your computer, and you can look up these cultural issues on Yahoo or Google.  This was a practice many years ago, not on icebergs per se, but in old camps they would leave, or on the trails to new camps,and only by certain Alaskan Eskimo tribes.  Other tribes in other countries also have, and do, still practice a form of this, what they consider humane "euthanasia", often chosen by the elderly themselves.  I think a native Alaskan would provide more insight to this question as well.

Hi there - I hate it when I have trouble sleeping. I moved about a year ago for that reason. I was living on a very busy street (in a large city). Now I am sleeping very well, but I'm living on the 38th floor so it's much quieter. \n\nA doctor told me that as long as you can get intervals of sleep between times of being awake, you'll probably be okay. \n\nIdeas for things to do when the world is quiet and dark???? Answer and ask questions (of course), write in a journal, get a coloring book and color (yeah, sounds silly, but it's very relaxing and therapeutic), write cards to friends, take up oil painting, reading (my activity of choice), listen to music and make a list of all the composers you have listened to, pray.


Why are Quakers known as Quakers surely this is a nickname?

The term "Quaker" refers to a member of the Religious \nSociety of Friends, which is the proper name of the sect.\nThere are two reputed origins of the term, the first \nrefers to people "quaking" or trembling when feeling\nmoved by the Holy Spirit to speak in Meetings for\nWorship. The other according to Elfrida Vipont Brown, is:\n\nGeorge Fox was arrested in Derby in October 1650 and\ncharged with blasphemy. The magistrates who tried him\nwere Gervase Bennett and Colonel Nathaniel Barton.\nGeorge Fox was questioned intermittently over an eight\nhour period, during which at one point George Fox told\nthe magistrates "Tremble at the word of the Lord". It\nwas Justice Bennett who coined the name "Quakers" for\nthe followers of George Fox.

what is the best way to lose a fat belly?  Is crunches a best way?

Crunches will make your belly look better and improve your posture. However, they won't get rid of the fat over or under the muscles. Aerobic exercise (walking, running, etc) will burn up those fat cells. Even liposuction can't get rid of all belly fat, only the fat near the surface of the lower belly. So start reducing caloric intake,huffing and puffing, and then start the crunches!

Well, if you are afraid to say it upfront, try doing something a little more subtle. You could always write a letter or something, but in my opinion, letters have more cheese than velveeta, so I wouldn't go there at the risk of being a little un-creative. Try to think of the kinda stuff he likes and work with that...ex. if he likes basketball, you could go all out and do something thoughtful like send him a basket ball with one word on it (part of the message)and send him a bunch till it's complete. (just a theory).\n\nbe creative!

Can someone please edit this piece of writing (conclusion) for me please?

The themes good vs. evil, heaven vs. hell, and Christian vs. Pagan, are apparent throughout the poem. For example, Grendel, his mother, and the dragon are kennings of evil; whereas Beowulf is a kenning of good. No matter how many times good and evil forces oppose and try to eliminate each other, the good force always wins. However, the cycle of good and evil never ends. Once the greater power of the hero had been established, and the conflict’s resolution has strengthened society’s power, than a greater evil develops out of the more powerful society. Inevitably, what these two forces have in common is that they share a common dream– conquer their opponent. Just like a living creature, the dream is born, grows, and dies. In the end, it is not the attainment of the dream that matters, but rather the hope held by the reader, that is born from opposition.

Why there are pro and con in the  present administration?

Politicians have learned that the way they get re-elected is to give the people what they want; for the most part, that is bread and circuses.  The only way to make it out of that trap is to (a) realize that you won't ever get something for nothing, (b) understand what the tradeoffs are in any given policy decision, and (c) make your voice known loudly and clearly to your elected representative when you have an opinion.\n\nNow, does this mean start calling your congressman to demand higher pay for fewer hours?  NO!  That's an uninformed, knee-jerk response.  First, understand that the only way employers can provide those benefits are to raise their prices - and then where does your higher pay go?  Maybe after you think about exactly what you are giving up in exchange for your higher pay, you still think it's a good idea.  Then, call your congressman, and make sure he knows you think higher prices are a reasonable tradeoff for higher pay.  That's an intelligent, informed, decision.

ONLY CHIRISTIAN CAN ENTER HEAVEN ? IF YES .. WHY JESUS WANT CREATE THE HUMAN WITH DIFFERENT RELIGION ?

goodness, you are confused. Let's put religion out of the picture for just a second, okay. It is simple, you either believe Jesus died on the cross for you and God created you or you don't. You can say that only christians will enter into heaven but i believe no matter what religion you call yourself, if you believe in God and have accepted God as your savior then you can call yourself whatever you want and you will still go to heaven. People choose to worship God in many ways. But the key to the door is Have you confessed that you are a sinner? Do you believe Jesus died on the cross for you? Do you want to spent eternity in heaven or hell? I'd be too scared not to believe and to not be saved. What if all us "crazy" christians are right? What if we are wrong? Which is worse? right or wrong? heaven or hell, HUM.... lets see, I'll go with heaven and believing in God.

has anyone applied for a k-1 fiancee visa without the assistance of an attorney? how was your experience?

We applied for a K1 visa and everything worked out very smoothly. You just have to make sure all your paperwork is filled out correctly, don't lie about anything and it should all work out ok. It takes some time and it doesn't take a lot of money. We just paid for the forms that we filed. My fiancé (a US citizen) filed the paperwork in early October and I got my visa in March the next year. I found the K1 visa to be great and safe, with all the paperwork and medical exams that they ask from you, you can be sure that you and your fiancé are both healthy and true about how many times you got married, divorced and all that detailed info. Good Luck. If you wanna know more tell me ok?

In layman's terms what effect  would Indiana SB 245 have, would it end cable company monopolies?

well, here is the text of the bill.  good luck with that:\nhttp://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2006/PDF/SB/SB0245.1.pdf\n\nas for "in laymans terms", you have to be very wary of who is translating it into layman's terms.  different people will put entirely different spins on "what the effect will be" and i tend to not trust others' interpretations because you are at the mercy of their ethics in presenting an unbiased interpretation.\n\nhowever, having read the summary statement at the beginning of the bill, i suspect that the bone of contention is the line where it mentions "Specifies that "basic telecommunications service" does not include functionally equivalent service provided by a person that transmits communication through Internet Protocol enabled services."\n\npresumably this is an issue because cable companies are moving towards digital services and integrating cable and video distribution with internet traffic.  they will have to do this to keep up with the trends in TV viewership and the market - but i think that before this bill, since they were cable providers, they were immune from competition.\n\nstate utility monopolies are there because it would be a waste to have eight sets power lines, phone lines and water pipes running to each house for every different power, phone or water company that might exist.  however internet traffic works differently - because digital information is switched and routed by computers, it can come from anywhere and be transmitted down the same pipe - there's no need for a regulated monopoly when it comes to digital content.\n\ncable companies have been on the sweet end of this lollipop for a long time, because their technology required a monopoly for the same reason that water companies' technology did.  however, when they move to a digital/internet type of distribution system, that monopoly is no longer reasonable (to me) and the door to competition should be thrown open.\n\nso, it sounds like this bill is essentially declassifying digital cable as a "basic telecom service" which means that you'll be able to choose from multiple providers.\n\nsounds good to me!  of course, this is all based on a cursory reading of this bill.  i am by no means a specialist on indiana's telecom regulatory structure, or even a lawyer, so take my interpretation with a grain of salt.

Does the president appoint judes, with advice of the Senate and if so to what branch?

yes. The president can appoint judges to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is part of the Judicial branch. The Senate can 'advise and consent' to the president's decision.\n*Just because the president appoints the judge, that doesn't mean his decision is final.

Any reaction beyond joy and good digestion is an allergy or food sensitivity.  If you are having any, then you probably are allergic.  Like the others have said, rashes, splotches, red marks, itchiness, hives, stomach upset including diarrhea or cramps, or anything that makes you feel bad if you eat it!  Period.  Don't look for specific signs only, see how you feel when you eat it.  \nIf you only derive pleasure and joy and no bad reactions, then you're probably ok...but watch nevertheless.  \n\nGood luck.

First and foremost, you have to really want to quit for good; and you have to actually quit—not just cut back.  Set a date a couple of weeks in advance and mentally prepare yourself for it. \n\nMake a list of reasons why you want to stop smoking and keep it with you.\n\nIt helps to realize that most cravings last for less than four minutes.  If you can fight through the first few days, then the first few weeks (using toothpicks, peppermints, etc), you'll begin to notice days and even whole weeks without a craving.\n\nI would advise AGAINST the patch and the gum.  The long term success rate of those is extremely low.\n\nI've found Wellbutrin (Zyban is the same thing) to be the most effective craving control method.  After 6-12 weeks on that, I didn't need it anymore.\n\n16 months smoke free.\n\n//

in what ways can corporations and businesses work to bring an end to discrimination?

I guess it depends on what kind of discrimination you are talking about...race, gender, sexual preference, etc.\n\nGenerally though, it is important to remember that corporations and businesses are simply made up of people.  If the people in the business have the right attitude about discrimination, then so will the business.\n\nSo the first step is to have owners and managers of the business who are not willing to tolerate discrimination in the business itself.  Those owners and managers then must incorporate anti-discriminatory principles into their official policies, and into the realities of running the company every day.  A large part of that consists of hiring people with a similar philosophy, and hiring a diverse work force.\n\nOutside of the business, the owners and managers can participate in community events or give lectures to help send the right message to others in the community.


what are the top 100 highest paying jobs?

The highest paying job will be the one you are willing to invest a lot of time into, to become one of the best at it. Every job market has a bottom and a top. \n\nReally the only other option is to luck into cash via inheritance or someone helping you along. Since your are here I guess that's not a option for you. \n\nSince you are just materialistic you should pick out a job market that has the most opportunity for someone who only cares about money.  You could be a bottom feeder such as a Ambulance chaser form of Lawyers.  Or a salesman who calls up the elderly to sell them timeshares or burial insurance.


Anyone know of good Image manipulation software?

If you're a photographer, cosider waiting for Adobe's new development, called Lightroom. It is organisation and VERY PRO editing all-in-one, specifically for photographs (i.e. not for graphic designers, illustrators or web designers). There is Apple's alternative (only for Macs and 'Books) called Aperture.\n\nOnes listed above are great if you're a beginner. Then again, you just can't beat Photoshop (but avoid CS) - CS2 is much better, or 7.0.

1.How does begin a arc between two electrodes? 2. what is arc discharge in liquid environment?

If atoms or molecules exist between the two electrodes (i.e. NOT a vacuum) and the electric potential is increased between the two electrodes, the electric field reaches the point where it can force the outermost electrons of the existing molecules out of orbit.  This process continues until the electrons reach the other electrode.  During this time, when the electrons rejoin the molecular orbits, photons are released.  This causes the substance to heat considerably.  When a certain number of intervening moelcules have become ionized because of the current flow, much less electric field is required to cause current to flow.  This second stage of the arc is known as a "struck arc," requiring far less voltage than the voltage require to start the arc while it can support far more current flow than it could before the plasma arc was established.  For instance, a struck arc from an arc welder has about 20 Volts across it (as a rule of thumb).  But starting an arc in air without touching the electrodes together requires thousands of volts.  Of course if you hold the electrodes very far apart the arc will die out because there is a resistance to current flow associated with the length of a plasma arc.  \n\nOther than lighting, we should remember that all spark-ignition engines use little arc generators (spark plugs) and a ton of research has been done on striking arcs in air with different electrode spacings, etc.  Electrode tip shapes can hugely effect the peak electric fields between two points.  The tiny electron tubes that make up a plasma screen also work on the arcing principal, but they are operating in a vacuum, so electrons are emitted from the electrode surface to the anode surface with no intervening gas molecules. \n\nI can't answer #2, sorry.


what are some things you can do while trying to stop cutting yourself?

Some people find that dealing with physical pain is easier than dealing with emotional pain.\n\nMost people who self-injure tend to be perfectionists, are unable to handle intense feelings, are unable to express their emotions verbally, have dislike for themselves and their bodies, and can experience severe mood swings.\n\nSelf-injury can help someone relieve intense feelings such as anger, sadness, loneliness, shame, guilt and emotional pain. Many people who cut themselves, do this in an attempt to try and release all the emotions they are feeling internally. Others may feel so numb, that seeing their own blood when they cut themselves, helps them to feel alive because they usually feel so dead inside. \n\n\nIf you feel the urge to injure yourself, below is a list of suggestions that might help you to overcome that urge.  Please be advised that not all of these suggestions will be helpful to everyone.  What is helpful to one person, may not be helpful to someone else.  These suggestions have been provided by individuals who self injured and what they found helpful to them.  If you feel that a certain suggestion may in fact cause you to want to self injure even more, do NOT use that suggestion.  Find ones that are helpful for you.  Again, these are only suggestions and may not be helpful to everyone. \n\n\n1.deep breathing \n\n2.relaxation techniques \n\n3.call a friend, your therapist or a crisis line \ntry not be be alone (visit a friend, go shopping, etc.) \n\n4.take a hot bath \n\n5.listen to music\n \n6.go for a walk \n\n7.write in a journal\n \n8.wear an elastic around wrist and snap it when you have the urge to harm yourself \n\n9.some people find it helpful to draw red lines on themselves with washable markers instead of cutting themselves \n\n10.hold ice cubes in your hands - the cold causes pain in your hands, but it is not dangerous or harmful (some people find it relieves the urge to harm themselves for that moment)\n \n11.punching a bed or a pillow (when nothing but a physical outlet for your anger and frustration will work). \n\n12.scratch draw a picture on a thick piece of wood or use a screw driver and stab at the piece of wood. (can be another physical way to release your emotions without harming yourself.)\n \n13.avoid temptation (i.e. avoiding the area in CVS where the razor blades are kept, etc.) \n\n14.try to find your own creative ways as outlets for emotions. \n\n15.learn to confront others/making your own feelings known instead of keeping them inside \ngo outside and scream and yell \n\n16.take up a sport (a form of exercise can help you release tension, etc.)\n \n17.work with paint, clay, play-doo, etc. (the person who suggested this mentioned that they would make a big sculpture and do whatever they wanted to it.  They said it was helpful to calm the urge to self-injure, plus it gave them some idea of what might be underlying the pain. \n\n18.draw a picture of what or who is making you angry \ninstead of harming yourself, try massaging the area you want to harm with massage oils or creams, reminding yourself that you are special and you deserve to treat yourself and your body with love and respect \n\n19.go to church or your place of worship \nwear a pipe cleaner or something that will fit on the places that you injure.  One person did this as a way to remind herself that she could call someone instead of hurting herself and that she had other ways to cope. \n\n20.break the object that you use to self-injure as a way to show that you have control over it.\n \n21.write a letter to the person(s) that have hurt you and express how they made you feel.   Theses letters do not have to be in perfect form and you do not have to please anyone but yourself.  You do not have to give these letters to the people, but it is a great way to release the feelings that you are carrying within.  After you write the letters, you can decide then what to do with them.  Some people find destroying the letters help (i.e. tear


Out of all Seasons name the one you like the most and why?

Autumn, because of the richness of the colors. I love the oranges, reds, yellows, and browns of the leaves turning...the crunch of leaves on the grass...preparing for the holidays...the cooler weather. I'm a "cold weather lover", for sure. The autumn air is fresher, the skies are bluer, and it has good memories for me.


What are your opinions about the airing of the new primetime show, "The Book of Daniel"?

I haven't seen it, but I think people should cool it. Its not like NBC is saying "Watch the show and thy will be converted to Satanism." It has nothing to do with religion. That is just a basais for the show. The main character is still a man of faith, and he believes in his faith, so you can't say he is a "BAD MAN."

What is the #1 reason a church needs a website?

In my personal opinion I think that a church should have a website for people who may want to check the church out but not want to go and feel obligated.  A website offers information on what the church stands for and what kind of worship there is.  Also, my church has an email and if someone wanted to email the pastor a letter asking questions he/she could do that and remain anonymous.


i always feel tired. is there something wrong wth me?

Tiredness can be for physical and emotional reasons.\n\nCommon physical reasons:\n1. Eating something that your body doesn't like or failing to eat what your body needs.  \nSuggestion:  write down everything you eat for a week and at what time you eat it.  Also write down when you feel tired.  See if there's a pattern.  I.e., too many carbs, after eating sugar, are you getting protein and fresh vegetables in your diet?\n\n2. Not enough sleep or poor sleep.  \nSuggestion:  go to bed earlier, don't use the computer for a couple of hours before going to bed, don't eat late meals (digesting while you sleep disturbs your sleep).\n\n3. Something is out of whack with your body.  \nSuggestion: go see a Western doctor and also a naturopath or a doctor of traditional chinese medicine.  The Western doctor will run the tests to rule out any major illnesses.  The other practitioners are well suited for treating systemic illnesses and imbalances that Western medicine doesn't know what to do with other than label them.\n\n4.  Work is exhausting you or perhaps you are doing other excessive physical activities.  \nSuggestion:  Learn how to say no and to recognize when your body needs a rest.  Then, rest.\n\n5. Not enough exercise.  Exercise helps your blood and lymph system circulate.  Without it, your body will start to feel sluggish.\nSuggestion:  While you may feel too tired to move, exercise will actually make you feel better.  Start off slowly (i.e., a brisk walk, taking the stairs instead of the elevator) and move up to doing some aerobic activity.  Whatever gets your blood pumping will help.  A warning: only do more intensive exercise if you are physically well enough to do it.  \n\nCommon emotional reasons:\n1. No joy in your life.  If you are not excited or inspired by what you do, life will feel draining.  \nSuggestion:  Remember what you liked to do when you were a kid.  I.e., fingerpaint, play sports.  Engage in similar activities (i.e., take a painting course, join a team, try something new)\n\n2. Emotionally drained from too many things that have happened in your life recently (i.e., death in the family, big changes such as moving).  \nSuggestion:  Nurture yourself.  Do things that make you feel good.  Treat yourself as you would a good friend.  Don't overlook your own needs and stop pushing yourself.  \n\n3.  Setting your needs aside for other people or trying to be perfect by "doing it all".  \nSuggestion:  Stop!  It's ME time now.  Listen to your inner voice.  Next time you feel like you don't really want to do something, say 'no', but say it in a nice way.  Let your standards slide.  It's ok if the bathroom isn't spotless.  It's ok to not be perfect.  Don't judge yourself so harshly.\n\n4.  Fighting against the flow of life and trying to control your life, your circumstances and/or the people around you.\nSuggestion:  Let go.  Notice how much energy you expend trying to make things go a certain way.  Start with small things and see what happens if you don't try to control the outcome.  You may be surprised to see that things may actually turn out better.  Notice how much effort and energy you expend.  Move on to letting go of control for bigger things.  If you're arguing with other people, let go of trying to "prove" your right.  It doesn't matter.\n\nHope some of these suggestions help and you feel energized soon.


Is it ok to fall in love with your best friend?

Best friends are tricky...  You don't want to risk losing the relationship you have, but will never stop asking "What if?" unless you go forward.  If you feel, being honest to yourself, that you have those feelings towards him...  go for it.  There is a chance that it won't work, but there is ALWAYS that chance in any new relationship.  On the other hand, there's a chance that you may have the most incredibly romantic relationship of your life and regret not doing something earlier.  It is so worth the risk.

there are many theories had been formulated by scientists...\n1. the big bang theory -- it states that at first there was a blazing or hot sphere...untill time goes on this sphere continues to acccumulate heat..after such time it bursted and emitted particles and this particles formed into different galaxies.\n2. the collision theory--scientist said that there was a comet heading to another comet in space..then this two comets collided with each other and there particles scattered into space and therefore creating galaxies.\nand there are other more theories..\nbut for me it is really god who created the galaxies and space...cause if there is a thing or a galaxy probably somebody puts it there..or somebody is responsible for it to be created...

i need informations about women managers.thank you!!!can you help me?

There once was a time in American history when the thought of women working for complex, multi-national technology companies, giant advertising firms, and massive publishing houses was snickered at behind closed boardroom doors.\n\nToday, women are running those companies—from some of those very same boardrooms.\n\nBut although women make up almost half of America's labor force, still only two Fortune 500 companies have women CEOs or presidents, and 90 of those 500 companies don't have any women corporate officers.\n\nCatalyst, the not-for-profit New York-based women's research organization, points out, however, that its data shows a change over the last five years. A recent survey revealed that 10% of the Fortune 500 companies have women holding at least one-quarter of their corporate officer positions. This percentage rose from only 5% in 1995.\n\nFor the few women who have reached the highest ranks, they'd prefer not to talk about their gender. To them it's no longer an issue. Their accomplishments represent significant milestones—not just for women in business—but for women all over the world making career choices.\n\nHere's a closer look at some of the most important women in business.\n\nCatherine Elizabeth "Cathy" Hughes \nRadio Personality, Executive \nBorn Catherine Elizabeth Woods, she attended Creighton University and the University of Nebraska at Omaha but did not graduate. Around 1969 she began working at KOWH, a black radio station in Omaha, handling various jobs, and becoming well known.\n\nHer success prompted the School of Communications at Howard University in Washington, DC, to offer her a job as lecturer. In 1973 she became sales director at WHUR-FM. Two years later she became the station's general manager, boosting sales revenue to $3.5 million from $300,000.\n\nIn 1979, she and her husband, Dewey Hughes, purchased a small Washington radio station, WOL, creating Radio One. Her marriage eventually ended, and she bought her husband's share in the station. But Hughes was forced to give up her apartment and live at the station for a time in order to make ends meet.\n\nOver time, she made the station profitable, and her own talk show became a hit. By purchasing stations in other cities, the company eventually became the nation's largest black-owned radio chain. She is the first African American woman to head a firm publicly traded on a stock exchange in the United States. She has been married twice and has one son.\n\nMuriel "Mickey" Siebert \nStockbroker \nSiebert attended Western Reserve University (now known as Case Western) but dropped out after two years when her father got cancer. In 1954 she arrived in New York City with $500 to search for a job. She was hired as a trainee research analyst at the Wall Street. firm Bache & Co. She later worked as an analyst at a number of firms.\n\nIn 1967 she became the first woman to purchase a seat on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). For ten years she was the only female among the 1,366 members. In 1969 she became the first woman to own and operate a brokerage firm that belonged to the NYSE, Muriel Siebert & Co, now Siebert Financial Corp.\n\nIn 1975 when the U.S. government abolished fixed commissions for stockbrokers, Siebert turned her company into a discount brokerage firm. In 1977 she was named New York State banking superintendent. She stepped down in 1982 to run for the senate but lost the Republican primary.\n\nSince then Siebert has run her company and been involved with charitable work. She is often called "The First Woman of Finance." In 2002 her autobiography, Changing the Rules—Adventures of a Wall Street Maverick, was published.\n\nMary Kay Ash \nBusiness Executive \nFounder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, one of the largest beauty products firms in the United States, Ash sold a child psychology book door to door in the late 1930s and then was a sales representative and manager at the Sta

What is the current death, remission, and recovery rate of leukemia?

An estimated 34,810 new cases of leukemia will be diagnosed in the United States in 2005. Acute leukemias account for nearly 11 percent more of the cases than chronic leukemias. Most cases occur in older adults; more than half of all cases occur after age 67. Leukemia is expected to strike 9 times as many adults as children in 2004. (About 31,289 adults compared with 3,521 children, ages 0-19). About 30 percent of cancers in children ages 0-14 years are leukemia. The most common form of leukemia among children under 19 years of age is Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL).\n\nDuring 1995- 2001 relative survival rates overall were: \n\nAcute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL): 64.6 percent overall; 88.4 percent for children under 5 \nChronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL): 74.2  percent \nAcute myelogenous leukemia (AML): 19.8 percent overall; 52 percent for children under 15 \nChronic myelogenous leukemia (CML): 39.3 percent\nAt the present time there are approximately 198,257 people living with leukemia in the United States. \n\nIt is anticipated that approximately 22,570 deaths in the United States will be attributed to leukemia in 2005 (12,540 males and 10,030 females). There will be an estimated 4,600 deaths from chronic lymphocytic leukemia and 1,490 deaths from acute lymphocytic leukemia. There will be an estimated 9,000 deaths from acute myelogenous leukemia and 850 deaths from chronic myelogenous leukemia. Unclassified forms of leukemia will account for 6,630 additional deaths. \n\nThe estimated numbers of deaths attributed to leukemia in the United States are about 25 percent higher for males than females.\nThe leukemia death rate for children 0-14 years of age in the United States has declined 60 percent over the past three decades. Despite this decline, leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children under age 20. Approximately 413 children from 0-14 years of age are expected to die from leukemia in 2005.

Sankranthi, or Sankranti, is a festival that signifies the beginning of the harvest season for the farmers of India.\n\nAlso called 'Makara Sankranthi', it is celebrated primarily in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka & Maharashtra. From this day onwards the sun with respect to the earth starts moving towards north signaling the oncoming of summer. The grand seer of Mahabharatha, Bheeshmacharya, waited for this day to die and ascend to Brahmaloka. The auspicious day of Sankranthi is celebrated as Pongal in Tamil Nadu.
