this is really for a good math nerd>>>>?

Thats going to be 851 hours and 40 minutes (or 51,100 minutes a year) a year exactly.  So, if you smoked for 14 years, that would be 11923 hours and 20 minutes in 14 years.  That equates to 496 days and 19 hours and 20 minutes for the whole 14 years.  496 days is 16 monhts and 16 days 19 hours, and 20 minutes.  This is taken that a month is 30 days.

Is there an alternative theory to the Big Bang origin of the universe.?

There have been alternative theories throughout history.  I believe most astronomers now accept the Big Bang theory as best fitting the known facts. Your question about a multiplicity of Big Bangfs is a good one: perhaps the biggest cosmological debate about the nature of the universe is whether the universe will expand forever, or whether it will ultimately contract again into a state similar to just prior to the Big Bang.  Of those who think it will contract, many believe that it then will repeat a Big Bang process, so that the universe will proceed on a Bang, expansion, contraction, Bang  . . . pattern forever.\n\nI've included a link to one website that provides answers to basic astronomical questions, in a range from beginning to more advanced.


I am with the man of my dreams.... and it seems his ex?

Wow, tough problem. I think what I'd do is have a heart to heart with the girlfriend. Maybe she really does want him to be happy with you and maybe it's him that's holding out hope for a renewed relationship with her. If that's the case, she'll need to back off, but you need to find out if that's really the way it is or not first. Good luck. I feel for you.


Should the state be involved in personal decision-making pertaining to life or death?

The state should have as little involvement in our lives as possible. The only purpose of the government (or the state) is to protect our rights, not interfere with them.


WHAT IS THE DEFINITION FOR "CASH FLOW RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL"?

The cash flow return on investment (CFROI) for a firm is the internal rate of return on existing investments, based upon real cash flows.\n\nThe cash flow return on investment for a firm is calculated using four inputs:\ni) Gross investment (GI) the firm has in its existing assets, obtained by adding\nback cumulated depreciation and inflation adjustments to the book value. \nii) Gross cash flow (GCF) earned in the current year on gross investment, which is usually defined as the sum of the after-tax operating income of a firm and the non-cash charges against earnings, such as depreciation and amortization\niii) Expected life of the assets (n) in place at the time of the original investment\niv) The expected value of the assets (SV) at the end of this life, in current dollars, is the final input.\n\nThe CFROI is the internal rate of return of these cash flows, i.e, the discount rate that makes the net present value of the gross cash flows and salvage value equal to the gross investment.\n\nFor a simplified CFROI valuation model, check out http://www.exinfm.com/excel%20files/cfroi_holt.xls, which has a spreadsheet.


Infectious mononucleosis (often called simply "mono") is a common viral infection that causes fever, sore throat, and enlarged lymph nodes. The most common complaint is a sore throat. Mono is commonly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, but other viruses, such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), can also cause mono. Mono is most frequently diagnosed in teenagers and young adults.\n\nThe illness generally goes away without medical help. However, it may last from weeks to months. Treatment is mainly to ease symptoms, usually at home, with plenty of rest and fluids.\n\nBy adulthood, 90-95% of men and women have been infected. Mono usually occurs in people aged 15-25 years. Mono is highly contagious. Not surprisingly, 1-3% of college students contract mono each year. Infection spreads through exposure to body fluids containing the virus. It is most often transmitted via saliva (hence the name "kissing disease"). However, mono can also be spread through blood and genital secretions.\n\nSerious complications rarely occur.

The sea is mostly salt water with suspended organisms and minerals.\n\nUnless the organisms carry a lot of pigments, there will be no specific absorption of colour. Instead, you will have unspecific absorption by particles. In this case, light on the red (low wavelength) side of the spectrum will be absorbed more than light on the blue side.\n\nYou can check this at home: pour a little milk into a glass of water so that it still remains mostly transparent and hold it against a conventional lightbulb. The glass content will appear slightly blueish.\n\nThe amount of absorption is dependent on the thickness of the layer. The more impure water there is, the bluer/blacker it will appear.


If Jesus was a carpenter --did he make crosses?

No. Crosses were pretty crude and were not needed in Nazareth. They were needed in Jerusalem for all to see. Wood was imported from the northern towns as an industry. High quality wood came in from Joppa.\n\nThere was a suggestion that Jesus made yokes for oxen, which would make sense for that near the plains of Meggido.


Can anyone explain the string theory to a layman?

Life would remain simpler with no strings attached.  However, string theory deals with a universe with more that the dimensions we know day-to-day.  For example, you can calculate the diagonal of a square or a cube and the result has physical significance you can deal with.  The forth demension is time but what is meant by the diagonal of that figure no longer a plane or a solid?  What do we know of even greater dimensions, especially if they describe the very small that we can never see?  Certain of the equations that have been produced have enoumous numbers of solutions and it is difficult to find the correct solution and how to test it.  And that is only scratching the surface of a subject that has attracted some of the best brainpower on the globe.  Good luck.

The question of the ultimate meaning of life cannot be silenced as long as men are men.\n\nPaul Tillich (1886 - 1965)\n\nThe human mind has to ask "Who, what, whence, whither, why am I?" And it is very doubtful if the human mind can answer any of these questions.\n\nR. D. Laing (1927 - 1989)\n\nIn seeing ourselves from outside we find it difficult to take our lives seriously. This loss of conviction, and the attempt to regain it, is the problem of the meaning of life.\n\nThomas Nagel (1937 - )\nThe core reductive mistake is...the idea of a single fundamental explanation.\n\nMary Midgley (1919 - )\n\nthese are some quotes on the meaning of life and philosophy personaly the meaning of life is the quest and trying to find the meaning of life.\nThis is a question noone can answer for you you must look inside yourself to find your own meaning of life.

My mom is in a nursing home dying of cancer and is on roxycontin drops. is still in pain.any advice for us ?

Please listen to me as I am only here to help. You have to do exactly as I say. Go to the website and look up CESIUM CHLORIDE AND OXYGEN DROPS. The other ones could be green algae and paw paw, etc etc. These medicines are known in the medical field, but they dont talk about it. Because these are natural remedies with no toxic chemicals in it. So, thats why they cant profit from it. If they cant profit, they dont sell. I mean, some are even made of mushrooms that you can grow anywhere. Why would they promote this? These doctors will never make money. So, the FDA has put a restriction on these remedies. They cannot say anything about cancer on their labels. They have to be sold as vitamins or health products. But, the website can tell you how to use it, and what cancers it can cure. See how they are suppressing the world? In fact these treatments can cure up to 90% of patients that doctors have already given up on. Chemo therapy is not a therapy. I would rather die then go through with that. They try to kill your cancer with chemicals and radiation. If they kill all your cancer before they kill all your body cells, then they consider you cured. But, what about after that? Your body is damaged and your health deteriorated. There is almost no recovery to this. How many people you know live past 5 years after chemo therapy? Not much if any at all. And compared to the masses, its almost nothing. What do you have to live with after chemo? Your body is not sunburned, its practically microwaved. CESIUM CHLORIDE can be taken with OXYGEN DROPS. Go to the websites. You can go to these websites and they will give a whole package for you to buy. You can take these medicines over the course of 3 months, a year, or whatever they prescribe. After your mom is feeling well, taking it for about 2 months or more, you can almost garauntee that you are cured. But, you have to listen to them and take it till they tell you to stop. They even cure certain 3rd stage cancers with a 90% success rate. But, time is of the essence so I urge you to buy it as soon as possible and take next day delivery or something. I wish you the best of luck in the future. But, heed my warning, do not go into chemo. They always tell you something fuzzy like, oh..you might live another 2 years, or you might die right away..etc etc....Then how do you decide? But, they always say that people who have been on chemo will only live a maximum of X years after that.  So, if you do exactly what I say, not only will you have a chance to survive, but all your friends that may get cancer...

Are you talking about situations where you, your husband, and your girlfriends are all together, with say ... a kidnapper?  And you have to try and tell everyone that, "on the count of three I'll drop this glass of water to create a distraction so you guys can rush the kidnapper and push him out the window!"  Something like that?\n\nOr are you talking about when you mutter something about the dry cleaners and expect your husband to remember back three years ago at the company picnic when he spilled mustard on his pants ... you know, the navy khakis he got at Robinson's when you were shopping for Aunt Kathy's 60th birthday present? ... anyways, when you were waiting at the register to pay you said "people were like trees" ... which was funny because you just spent the weekend in Disneyland where everyone was standing around waiting in lines that never moved and you actually saw a bird land on someone's head and the person didn't even know it ... and you went to Disneyland with Jeff and Sal who next weekend were going on a second honeymoon to Kauai, and how come you've never been on a second honeymoon?  To which your husband says, "what did you say about the dry cleaners?"  And then you roll your eyes and sigh and say, "nothing," and storm off into the kitchen.\n\nYou mean hints like that?


ok. i am being serious. Is there life on other planets?

This is a little hard to answer.\n\nFirst, we haven't found any.  So there's no positive evidence, so it's hard to be really sure. \n\nBut on the other hand, there are billions and billions of planets like ours, and it would be really weird if ours was the only one to have life on it.\n\nSo most astronomers think there's probably life out there somewhere.  I hope we find it.


How is the word Bible came into existence?

The word "Bible" comes from the Greek word (τα) βιβλια.  This can be approximated in English as (ta) biblia, "(the) books."  The Bible is a collection of many individual sacred writings written at different times.    Each of these writings was called a book.  Thus, together they were called "the books."  When the Greek word entered into English, the pronounciation and spelling of the collective name changed so that they came to be called the Bible.

Can you recommend a good small open wifi finder gadget?


The legend of Santa Claus can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas. It is believed that Nicholas was born sometime around 280 A.D. in Patara, near Myra in modern-day Turkey. Much admired for his piety and kindness, St. Nicholas became the subject of many legends. It is said that he gave away all of his inherited wealth and traveled the countryside helping the poor and sick. One of the best known of the St. Nicholas stories is that he saved three poor sisters from being sold into slavery or prostitution by their father by providing them with a dowry so that they could be married. Over the course of many years, Nicholas's popularity spread and he became known as the protector of children and sailors. His feast day is celebrated on the anniversary of his death, December 6. This was traditionally considered a lucky day to make large purchases or to get married. By the Renaissance, St. Nicholas was the most popular saint in Europe. Even after the Protestant Reformation, when the veneration of saints began to be discouraged, St. Nicholas maintained a positive reputation, especially in Holland.\n\nSt. Nicholas made his first inroads into American popular culture towards the end of the 18th century. In December 1773, and again in 1774, a New York newspaper reported that groups of Dutch families had gathered to honor the anniversary of his death. \n\nThe name Santa Claus evolved from Nick's Dutch nickname, Sinter Klaas, a shortened form of Sint Nikolaas (Dutch for Saint Nicholas). In 1804, John Pintard, a member of the New York Historical Society, distributed woodcuts of St. Nicholas at the society's annual meeting. The background of the engraving contains now-familiar Santa images including stockings filled with toys and fruit hung over a fireplace. In 1809, Washington Irving helped to popularize the Sinter Klaas stories when he referred to St. Nicholas as the patron saint of New York in his book, The History of New York. As his prominence grew, Sinter Klaas was described as everything from a "rascal" with a blue three-cornered hat, red waistcoat, and yellow stockings to a man wearing a broad-brimmed hat and a "huge pair of Flemish trunk hose."\n\nIn 1822, Clement Clarke Moore, an Episcopal minister, wrote a long Christmas poem for his three daughters entitled, "An Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas." Moore's poem, which he was initially hesitant to publish due to the frivolous nature of its subject, is largely responsible for our modern image of Santa Claus as a "right jolly old elf" with a portly figure and the supernatural ability to ascend a chimney with a mere nod of his head! Although some of Moore's imagery was probably borrowed from other sources, his poem helped to popularize the now-familiar idea of a Santa Claus who flew from house to house on Christmas Eve—in "a miniature sleigh" led by eight flying reindeer, whom he also named—leaving presents for deserving children. "An Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas," created a new and immediately popular American icon. In 1881, political cartoonist Thomas Nast drew on Moore's poem to create the first likeness that matches our modern image of Santa Claus. His cartoon, which appeared in Harper's Weekly, depicted Santa as a rotund, cheerful man with a full, white beard, holding a sack laden with toys for lucky children. It is Nast who gave Santa his bright red suit trimmed with white fur, North Pole workshop, elves, and his wife, Mrs. Claus.

It's when a company (usually in the software business) has real users test a version of their product before it's officially done.  Beta testing is one way for companies to find and fix bugs (errors) in their programs before they are released to the general public.\n\nSometimes only a select group of people gets to participate in a beta test (for example, for a new video game).  Usually those people agree to report bugs to the company in exchange for getting to try out the program before everyone else.\n\nOther times a beta test is open to anyone.

The Russian alphabet, as you know, is Cyrillic, named for St. Cyril. Those are the "regular" Russian letters. I've never heard of Roman-style alphabet for Russian, like roma-ji in Japanese, but who knows? Just my humble opinion, but the Cyrillic already seems pretty close to the Roman anyway.


What is the difference between empire and hegemony?

An empire generally refers to a large, concrete unit where one government exerts its power over several different peoples directly. This usually involves taxation, military presence, and adherence to empire-wide laws.\n\nHegemony is much more vague. It refers to a situation where one state has a strong amount of influence over another. That state does not necessarily directly influence the other through taxation, military presence, or laws, but nonetheless has close ties with it, and often persuades the other state to go along with its will. The hegemon is able to make its priorities the standard in other states. This includes such things as empire. An empire is always a sort of hegemony.

What can a woman in her 50s do to flatten her stomach?

You are going to have to loose excess fat, and strenghten you muscles. It is not possible to target an area of your body to work on when it comes to lossing fat. Losing excess fat requires, not a diet, but permanemnt change in lifestyle. Build a healthy diet based on the USDA food pryamid and resign yourself to the fact that you are going to stay with it for the rest of your life. This is why there are so many weight loss products out there because so many men and women are not willing to do what it takes to get healthy. Once you loose the extra fat you can do target strenght training excercise to define the abs and other parts of your body. At first it seems monumentous to change your lifestyle, but a year later you won't even crave the unhealthy lifestyle you had before the transformation. I'll give you a link that helped me a great deal and it is from the Mayo Clinic, a well respected medical research hospital.\n\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/food-and-nutrition/NU99999

I earned a MIS degree, but can't find an entry level job due to lack of experience. Suggestions please.?

What kind of jobs are you applying for? Grads with MIS degree usually are not as competitive as grads with engineering or computer science degrees (not you personally, but the programs themselves). So if you are applyign for developer or programmer positions, it'll be more competitive. \n\nIf you just lack experience, you can try internships or positions in IT departments. Companies like Intel, HP, and other large corporations have large IT departments which will give you exposure to IT-related work. From there, you can pick up experience and also skills for programming/developing if that's your interest.


why do I need to issue a new driving license when I move to another state in the US?

Each state's laws and driving restrictions are slightly different (for example, in some states, you may turn right on a red light, while in others this is always forbidden).  Since the rules of driving vary somewhat from state to state, the tests are there to make sure you understand and comply with the requirements of your state.

It is easy to use (intuitive), has cool features like color screen, games and calendar. The way you operate controls is easy to learn. Once you download songs from a music CD, it searches automatically for the names of the songs, plus it is the most popular gadget amongst teenagers!


Who here is a fan of Darkwing Duck and would like to see it on DVD?

I don't like Darkwing Duck, but I loved Launchpad McQuack.


Do you think it's odd that the Flinstones celebrate Christmas when they suppposedly 'lived' before Christ?

In the cartoon they do.  I never but two and two together and thought about that.  That is some good insight.

after opening an email account why when i try to login another web site it says email not valid?

it may depend on what kind of e-mail account; if you have, for example abcdef@ghjk .NET (the dot and label is the important part) search for a free e-mail account on a  .COM site or a  .ORG or @hotmail , and just keep on trying different ones, as some sites don't accept certain types of accounts (i've gone through that with WeevilsStuff.com and my  .NET account, so I got a yahoo.com account through the IM service with my  .NET account)


American football is an exciting sport, and it only comes around once every week during the season. Plus, the Super Bowl is the most popular championship game in sports. No series, just one game. The excitement usually reaches its peak when the game goes down to the last second, especially in championship games, such as Adam Vinatieri's Super Bowl winning kicks. There are great plays that are remembered, such as Dwight Clark's catch against Dallas. Oh, and I love it when people get Jacked Up!


Love is a choice you make.  It's not just those mushy feelings and butterflies in your stomach. It's a conscious decision to love that person in spite of their faults and quirks.  It is unconditional and doesn't change over time.


i am having a long problematic foreskin, tell me whether to go for partial circumcision or get rid of it?

The first answerer here is obviously circumcised. With a circumcision you will lose a 3x5" area of skin that is loaded with nerve cells, i.e. pleasure. Intercourse will also become less pleasurable for your partner(s) as the natural glide mechanism will be absent. As far as being more normal - rates of this procedure are on the decline in the USA, and most other places in the world have far lower rates than the US. It's done here for religion or money. Hospitals can charge insurance companies for the surgery and they can sell the foreskin as viable tissue for transplant procedures.\n\nYou don't say what your problem is, is it your personal feeling about how it looks or some medical problem? If there are medical issues, you should seek alternative opinions as there are other ways to deal with issues than surgery. And should you go in for surgery - be aware that things can go wrong.\n\nUnless it is absolutely medically necessary, you should leave your penis in it's natural state and keep the foreskin.


Should the US have switched to the metric system back in the '70's?

Yes. Nearly the entire world and all of the scientific community use the metric system. In order to foster the idea of globalism in the US we should unify our measurements.


Be gentle, be kind, be very sweet and smile, help her when she needs help. talk to her in loving manners, but dont be too pushy. Dont call her every single day, or follow her around. If she has a good heart, she will notice your kindness... and then its up to God. Good luck.


my mom is starting to forget simple daily duties, She says it is age but could it be early signs of dementia?

Quick test you can do, not scientific but has been shown to detect dementia.  Ask her to name 10 animals in 15 seconds.  Someone with dementia cannot do this task as they forget what they said and start repeating animals!


my boyfriend wants to go out with the boys on christmas?

Tell him that You "just want to hang out with him and snuggle and enjoy Christmas with him and exchange gifts in private" but it is up to him.  You can't force a boyfriend to do something.  you want him to DECIDE for himself that he wants to be with you all day.  Isn't it nicer when the guys WANT to be there ro be with you instead of knowing that really his mind is somewhere else.  Don't hold him back and give the him any ammo that he can throw in your face later.


Do people really think intelligence is tied to hair color?

Some people have claimed this, but to my knowledge no research has found any corelation between hair color and intelligence.\n\nAlthough some research has found that hair color can influence social relations, so people might treat a blond as being ditzy, but the blond would still have the same average intelligence as anyone else

How many of yall agree that Tookie should have got the death penalty?

Stanley Tookie Williams ought to have been granted clemency. Putting him to death served no purpose and the execution was carried out only a few weeks before the California Legislature begins debating a moratorium on all executions in the state for several years. Mr. Williams did some dreadful things, but others have been convicted of worse, before and since Mr. Williams was sentenced and not been condemned. Capital punishment, which I oppose on principle, was imposed on Mr. Williams not because of what he was convicted of but because of who he was and when he was convicted. That he was put to death makes a mockery of the ideas of redemption and rehabilitation.\nNo, he should not have been executed.


Why is it that when a question is asked, everybody gives the most common and most expected answers?


Why do I receive "Class not registered" (80040154 or 80004002)?\nIf you receive this error message (or error codes 0x80040154 or 0x80004002) when playing AVI files, it's possible that there's a problem with the codec used to create the file. To determine which codec is required to play the file, first use a codec detection utility to determine the FourCC code of the file. Then, look up that code on the FourCC for Video Compression Web page, or on the codecs section of the FourCC Web site. After you determine which codec is required, you can then download it. However, keep in mind that some codecs can introduce instability with programs or your computer in general, so make sure that a codec is from a trustworthy source before downloading it.


what is some chracteristics of oxygen in dry air?

Can you be more specific?  The earth's atmosphere has many gases in it, one being oxygen.  Dry air and humid air will have little difference in oxygen levels.  Altitude, however, does affect oxygen.  The higher you are, the less air, and less oxygen.  I hope this helped.


what are some of your guys' New Years Resolutions?

There is no technical reason, other than consistancy. It was established by the Egyptian astronomer Ptolemy a couple thousand years ago. Probably because the land that was known when the first maps were made were in the North.


I need help translating a few phrases into Portuguese: "ah the beach" and "ready - set - go"

Here it goes:\n\n"At the beach" -> "Na praia";\n\n"ready - set - go" \nOption 1 -> "Um, dois, três," (literally "one, two, three" - that's how we start a race, on three. That's the most current expression.)\nOption 2 -> "Partida!" (which simply refers to the "goe" part)\n\nOh, I am talking about European Portuguese and not about Brazilian Portuguese. Oh, and I do know what I'm talking about, I'm Portuguese :p


Do you think that unicycling is a sport??

Heck Yes!!! It would be considered an extreme sport, like skating or snowboarding. But the difference is that you are way more extreme. You only have one wheel!!!


Generally it is not worth the hassle, as the Linux filesystems i.e. ext2fs/reiserfs etc do not get affected in the same way as FAT/FAT32 or NTFS filesystems.\nThere is a small amount of fragmentation but it is very small, around 5% and when it occurs it does not affect system performance to the extent as in FAT/NTFS filesystems.\nThere are a few utilites for linux if you want to see just how fragmented the linux filesystem actually is (see links below).\nLinux has a much better organising of files hence why defragging is not that much of an issue.\nDefragging in linux may be beneficial if you are running low on disk space.\n\nCheers!


I have a BOYFRIEND, but I am a GIRLFRIEND.\nSo the answer is both, yes.


Can a penny dropped off the empire state building really kill soemeone?

I'm explaining this only on condition you don't try the experiment yourself.\n\nGiven that the Empire State Building is 1,250 feet tall and ignoring such factors as wind resistance for the moment, a penny dropped from the top would hit the ground in approximately 8.8 seconds, having reach a speed of roughly 280 feet per second.\n\nThis is not particularly fast. A low-powered .22 or .25 caliber handgun bullet, to which a penny is vaguely comparable in terms of mass, typically has a muzzle velocity of 800 to 1,100 FPS, with maybe 75 foot-pounds of energy.\n\nOn top of this we must consider that the penny would probably tumble while falling, and that the Empire State Building, like all tall buildings, is surrounded by strong updrafts. As a result the penny's descent would be substantially slowed.\n\nThus while you might conceivably inflict a fractured skull on some hapless New Yorker (or, more likely, some cretinous tourist from Towson), the penny would not "go through just like that." I bet it wouldn't even penetrate the skin. Not that I intend to find out.\n\nFor the record, the Empire State folks claim no one has ever dropped anything off their building. Yeah, right.\n-By Cecil Adams


Is really Dec 25 the birthdate of Christ..???

Here is the information that I have found on this\n\nIn which year was Jesus born?\nHistory records that Herod the Great died (Mt. 2:19) in 4 BC, so, if Jesus was born within Herod’s reign, as Matthew states (Mt. 2:1), then He must have been born before 4 BC.\n\nThe Star of Bethlehem (Beit Lechem in Hebrew) (Mt. 2:2) may have been a comet, or a planetary conjunction between Venus and Jupiter on March 11th in 5 BC, or another conjunction between Venus and the crescent of the 3-day old New Moon on April 10th 5 BC (which would have combined to look like a comet's tail), but modern astronomers' best guess is that it was a nova (a star undergoing a temporary outburst of radiation) in the constellation of Aquila, also in 5 BC – it is now only a 16th-magnitude star. We don't really know which of these was the Star of Bethlehem, but we can be pretty sure the year was 5 BC!\n\nSome people think that this shows that Jesus must have been born in the Spring of 5 BC, but they are ignoring the fact that, if Herod wanted to kill all boys under the age of two (Mt. 2:16), it was probably because Jesus was about one year old at the time. Thus, Jesus was probably born in the previous year – 6 BC.\n\nLuke tells that a census was ordered by Augustus (Lk. 2:1) and carried out by Quirinius (or Cyrenius), the governor of Syria (Lk. 2:2). Now, Quirinius was "legat" of Syria in 6 AD, but many bible historians hold the opinion that he was also in office (as a consul) 13 years earlier (i.e. in 8 BC), and newer research has found that there was a census ordered by Rome in 12 BC, which was not concluded until after 7 BC (orders took time, and Syria was on the edge of the Roman Empire!) Thus, if Jesus was born in 6 BC, it is still possible that Luke’s account is historically accurate.\n\nAt what time of year was Jesus born?\nLk. 2:1 tells us that at this time Caesar Augustus had decreed that all the world should be taxed. We may be assured that Quirinius would not have ordered a census to be taken in winter, at the worst possible period for travel; but Luke's account that the shepherds were abiding in the field keeping watch over their flocks by night (Lk. 2:8) lets us know that Jesus was born in summer or early autumn. Since December is cold and rainy in Judea, it is likely the shepherds would have sought shelter for their flocks at night.\n\nIf we are going to narrow down the date of Jesus's birth any further, it is going to be necessary to understand how the Hebrew calendar worked.

What is the scientific explanation for what gives birds the instinct to migrate to specific locations?

I think the scientific explanation is that this is a behavior trait that is hard-wired into their brains through the wonders of natural selection.  When animals are born (including people), their brains (and actually their entire physical bodies) are pre-programmed to do certain things.  They eat when they're hungry.  They "feel" hunger when they haven't eaten in a while.  They run when they're scared.  They feel scared when they see, smell, hear, or feel certain types of things.  Their hearts beat.  Their eyes blink.  They sleep when they're tired.  Having these characteristics gave them the ability to survive as a species and be around today to be observed by us.  Animals who had hearts that didn't "know" to beat automatically didn't last long.\n\nSo flying south for the winter is an instinct that allowed birds to survive.  The many birds who lacked that instinct had more difficulty surviving.


Kerala's economy is predominantly agrarian in nature. In terms of per capita income and production Kerala is lagging behind many of the Indian States. But in terms of Human Development Index and life standard of the people, Kerala is much ahead of most other states in India, and, in fact, in certain development indices it is on a par with some of the developed countries.\n\nThis peculiar paradox often termed as the KERALA PHENOMENON or Kerala model of development by experts, which is mainly owing to the performance of the State in the Service Sector.


What offseason moves do the Yankees need to make to compete next season?


Is hyperglycemia a form of diabetes and is it genetic?

Hyperglycemia isn't a "form" of Diabetes, but instead is a symptom of the condition. \nSigns / symptoms of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) include: extreme thirst, frequent urination, dry skin, hunger, blurred vision, drowsiness, and decreased healing. If you haven't yet been diagnosed by your doctor as diabetic and you are expriencing these symptoms, definitely go get checked out. \n\nIf you have already been diagnosed as being a diabetic, check your BG regularly and watch out for high levels. Most information that I have came across has said that anything over 200 for more than 2 days in a row warrants a call to your doctor. I have also been told (by those more educated and experienced than myself) that anything over 300 is cosidered dangerously high and should be a cause for concern (and probably a trip to the ER).


What does stock options mean?  Is it a good idea?

A "stock option" is a set price for a group of stocks in a company.  Usually given to employees, sometimes to investors directly realted to a company.  With a stock option, you can get say a group of 100 stocks at an option to purchase for $5 each.  The option matures at some point in time where you can actually make this purchase at said price.  But, there is a possibility that the market price for the stock could be $100 at that time.  You just made $95 per stock on the purchase.  A real incentive for employees to work harder to make their company worth more in the market place.


Absolutely.  Case in point:  I evicted someone recently and, heartless as it may seem to be, it was raining on the day of the eviction, and I had the full force of the law on my side.  Please understand that I had given the defendant over 90 days, had taken him to court to prove my right to take possession of my property, and I followed due process right up to the last minute.\n\nTo be sure, there are "renters" rights that you'd be wise to read.  You can find all you need to know right on the internet.

How to change the default path of "Save image as" to other folder in Windows?

do muslims believe they must kill an non muslim to get to heaven?

DONT LISTEN!\n\nit is NOT  a tenet of the muslim faith that they have to kill an infidel (non-christian) to get into heaven. i am a christian that has studid the muslim faith, and it definatly does not teach that anywhere in the Koran.\n\nthe koran does say that if they die as a marytr for Allah the automatically get into heaven, and they will have a 'preferred treatment' of sorts there.\n\nit is the modern extremist teachings that have equated martyrdom with acts of murder.\n\ni hope this helps you bro. i would like to encourage you to reasearch these sorts or spiritual question for yourself. there is nothing wrong with a christian reading the koran, or tanakh, or whatever. how can you beleive in anything if you dont know what you do not beleieve.

In " Hotel Califonia " song , there is a phrase that I don`t understand.That is " colitas ".what does it mean?

"Colitas is little tails, but here the author is referring to 'colas,' the tip of a marijuana branch, where it is more potent and with more sap (said to be the best part of the leaves)." We knew with an instant shock of certainty that this was the correct interpretation. The Eagles, with the prescience given only to true artists, were touting the virtues of high-quality industrial hemp! And to think some people thought this song was about drugs.

how do i attract someone that isnt looking for just a hook-up?

Make sure you're going to the right places.  Singles bars are a trap.  While they're a good place to flirt, they're basically a public forum for wham, bam, thankyou ma'am-ism.  Just keep talking to guys one on one and wait to flirt until you've talked to them a few times.  That'll make the statement.

What does over clocking my computer reall do and is it a good or bad idea?

Overclocking allows one to boost a computer system's performance by increasing clock frequencies along with improved system cooling There are several ways of overclocking and no two components will overclock the same. One important consideration when overclocking a component is to ensure that the proper amount of power is supplied to it so that it may function properly. However, adding too much power can permanently damage the component and void the warrenty. With so many factors affecting how a computer can be overclocked a wrong setting can prove disasterous, as a result only more expensive motherboards with advanced settings which computer enthusiasts are likely to buy have capabilities to overclock. System stability is a major concern when overclocking. Without proper cooling, an overclocked component can overheat and cause the computer to crash, freeze or hang; in other words, become unstable and unusable. \n\nCheck link at bottom for disadvantages of overclocking, and advantages of overclocking.

iwant to b a mortician i live in okc,ok what degrees or schools would i need?

Oklahoma requires a license for funeral directors. I have included the link for the Oklahoma Funeral Board below. \n\nThe National Funeral Directors Association accredits educational programs and has a list of accredited schools. (Accreditation is an important concern for those wishing to use student financial aid, and for those who wish to get a professional license). \n\nTo see the schools and for more information about the profession go to the NFDA home page, click on About Funeral Service on the right hand side and then click on careers in Funeral Service.\n\nAlthough it may sound like a creepy job at first, funeral directors (they don't use the term mortician much anymore I guess it sounded too creepy) play an important part helping the family deal with the loss of a loved one and it can be a really satisfying occupation.  One guy I went to high school with is a funeral director and he enjoys it greatly.

What is the difference between a Sunni and a Shiite?

Hey, I was just wondering about this myself recently, and did some research about it (Wikipedia is a great source, as is understandingislam.org).\n\nEssentially, within Islam, it is a discrepency between where they beleive true religious authority lies. The Shiites practice something called Amimism, which is, that they beleive that the Amim is the divine messenger on earth, and his word is God. The Amim is named by the previous Amim, and, as I mentioned, the Amim's word becomes religous law, and to defy him would be heresy. The Sunnis beleive that the Qur'an, the word of Muhammed, is the ultimate source of religious authority. There are probably a lot of subtelties that I'm missing, but the the best of my ablitiy that's the general idea.

what is the percentage of prisoners in the U.S correctional facilities that get raped while in prison?

I would try to be more specific.  It totally depends on what kind of prison you are talking about.  I would imagine that statistics are vastly under reported.  \n\nOne in five prisoners report having faced unwanted sexual attention according to the "Prison Rape Factsheet"\n\nAlso, depending on the amount of time a prisoner is up against it may be more of a consensual thing.

will viagra help sexual side-effects of paxil?

No it will not.  Viagra increases your heart rate to make it easier to maintain an erection.  Most people on Paxil report no trouble in that area.\n\nPaxil blocks receptors in your brain and as a side effect of that, makes it very difficult if not impossible to reach climax.  Unfortunately, it does nothing to lessen the urge to do so.\n\nFrom what I've heard, once your system adjusts to Paxil after a couple months, these problems fade.

I find her very annoying.  First there is the whole scandal she was involved in where all she had to do was tell the truth and would not have faced jail time and then there is her temper off camera, sometimes her behavior can be worse than a neanderthal.  But this is coming from stories I have read and seen on the news so I don't know how much weight can be put into it.

what is the best state to relocate in the US?

6 months ago I moved to Nebraska from California, if you can believe that.\n\nI actually love it here and am SO glad I made the move.  Let me tell you why.\n\nCost of living.  Here you can buy a gorgeous 5-bedroom house, almost a mansion, for under $300K.  In San Diego the same house would cost almost a million dollars.\n\nQuality of life.  In San Diego I was constantly stressed for money and felt like I lived in an over-populated area.  Everywhere you go there are people swarming like bees.  Not so in the Midwest.  Here you can drive down a road or walk through a shopping mall and it just feels right.  Less people, less congestion, less traffic.\n\nDon't think that there is nothing to do out here.  I live in Omaha and it's a HUGE restaurant city.  People here LOVE to eat out and there is a great restaurant on every corner.  And they are affordable!  Music is big in Omaha too.  The local music scene is big and growing.  Lots of great local bands are from here, including The Faint and Cursive.\n\nThings cost less!  I used to spend $2500 a month just to get by in San Diego.  Here my basic bills are under $1600.  My rent in San Diego for a tiny 1 bedroom apartment in a nice area of town was $1400.  Ridiculous!  Here I pay $900 and I live in a 1500 square foot two bedroom condo with garage in the best part of town.\n\nBottom line - I love the Midwest now, and I came from Southern California!  Consider it.

You most likely can.  A spreadsheet program (like Excel) can really perform any mathmatical calculations that you can think of.  You just need to know how to write the formulas.

first i need to say that the cigars are going 70% more after the new year 2007 that means that now one packet of cigars of Victory is costing 1,60 lv (that means around $80) and they will be 2,60 after january 2007 and all my friends (because im from Bulgaria) are saying that this will make them stop the cigars, so the best thing to do is not opening this kind of shop, but if u really want to do so maybe this site will be halpfull: http://www.mi.government.bg/

My stolen credit card information was used in CA, I live in CO ... What is the best way to prosecute?

To get the guy off the street is probably not your responsibility, but less within your ability.  If the credit card company has reimbursed you and covered it, it's more up to the company to decide how to proceed.  You should contact your credit card company to follow up and ask what they'll do to press charges against the one who defrauded you, if they know who he is.  It's more up to them to decide at this point, since they hold the information and the control, and since it's mostly in their best interest.  It's kind of you to think of the well-being of others, though, so I'd encourage that line of discussion when talking with the credit card company, and I hope they help.


Please tell me to sight in a bushnell 3X9 scope with the knobs, which one mean up and down?

The knob on the side is your elevation, "or Up & Down". The Knob on top is your windage. "Left & right.\nTake 3 very steady shots at a target, not too far away. Look at your target, mark the holes with a pen or cover with tape or something so you do not loose them. Then raise of lower you elevation. Then 3 more shots... then adjust, over & over again. You want to hope that the 3 shats are always together, as you make each adjustment. Once you get the elevation, Next work on you windage. Turning the knob left, moves the shots to the right, & vice versa. You really do not want to have your target too far away in the beginning, because you need to get a tight 3 shot pattern to be able to make adjustments. once you are on target at say 25 or 30 yards, then move the target farther away. In the beginning, you just want that tight 3 shot pattern to make accurate adjustments. Don't forget to hold your breath & squeeze slowly. You will get a stray shot from time to time, but this can be expected. Takes about an hour to do it right.


what is an example of a rational number?

A rational number is more commonly referred to as a fraction and is a ratio or quotient of two integers. Using the example provided on wikipedia, "each rational number can be written in infinitely many forms, for example 3 / 6 = 2 / 4 = 1 / 2."\n\nI can also be expressed as a decimal as well.


I live in Canada and just bought some stocks in Microsoft do I need to include anything in my tax return?

if you buy there is nothing to do. If you sell there are tax considerations.  Short term capital gains require that you pay more.  Long term capital gains means you pay less. Hold onto the stocks... Bill Gates will surely pull a rabbit out of his hat for long term profits and productivity. If in doubt consult an American/Canadian tax attorney.


Which states speaks the closest to original English?

What is with the new move to say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas"?

I am an Atheist and have no problem at all with "Merry Christmas" or "Christmas Tree" or anything simular.  If a store wants to display signs that say Merry Christmas than I think thats great.  If they want to have Happy Holidays instead, I see no problem with that either.\n\nFor me, December 25th is Christmas Day.  Its not Holiday Day or Solstice Day... its Christmas Day.  \nOf course the word Christmas may have more meaning to some people than to others.  I dont celebrate the birth of Christ and most Theists dont either.  Maybe one day we will have an ATHEIST DAY and damn to hell if I would let some Jesus Freak make me change it!

Is this just like a big message board and not a search engine?

Well, for it to work properly, you have to ask questions, and they need to be answered. People don't usually ask questions in regular message boards. \nThis is a better place to "just answer the question"


Which is a better web portal system , .NET Nuke or Microsoft Sharepoint or Rainbow?

You know, I don't really have an answer for your question, yet. Just a word of thanks for turning me on to DotNetNuke. I've been developing and implementing SharePoint team sites and portals since the early betas of 2001. And we've just reached the magical point of maturity where you can walk into just about any IT group or internal department, they've already played with team sites on their own and now they're ready for a professional to come in, clean up what they've done, and roll out a unified look and feel, across departments, that they can take from there. \n\nNot that DotNetNuke or Rainbow (which I haven't yet been able to find) aren't going to be comparable solutions; I'll know more when I've had a couple of weeks to play with DotNetNuke. But I can tell you, from some hard-won experience, that it has been an uphill battle to persuade even the early adopters to roll with SharePoint until there was a certain critical mass, which Microsoft so graciously took care of by giving Windows SharePoint Services away with the Server 2003 license, effectively flooding the market. Customers play with what they get, out of the box, realize the potential, then find it hard to get the budget or the head count to task someone full-time to the portal implementation that they've come to see as a cross-departmental solution. \n\nUntil recently, the path of least resistance has been to run a pretty intuitive needs analysis, lock yourself in room for a few days, and come back with a functional, if not fully populated, demonstration site that thay can take to higher management. And you've got to showcase plenty of functionality, and potential, that they won't admit they need until they've seen it in motion. Lots of people out there still thinking in terms of one-off development, html, and maybe a java applet here and there. \n\nI dig the open source aspect of DotNetNuke, and I've done a few sites on pure ASP.net 2.0; and from what I can see so far, it looks like a fairly comparable solution to SharePoint, or at least SharePoint Services. Where you're going to run into questions is the ongoing support and maintenance, and, more importantly, the ease of use and comfort level of the non-technical staff who are going to be both using the thing day to day and populating it with fresh, useful, content and data. Afterall, the goal here, usually, is to bring people together, collaborating in new, as yet undiscovered, ways and to give them access and exposure to information that's going to change their personal way of doing business, and its acceptance and embrace by the corporate culture, for the better. \n\nSure you can leverage the enviable inhouse talent that you already have for ASP and Visual Basic .NET to build a stellar solution for the powers that be. But the real issue, and one that is almost universally under-accounted for by IT and development groups everywhere, is the ease of use, and barriers to spontaneous improvement, that will spark or squelch the passion of power-users and non-IT staff, across the company, to take it to the next level.\n\nSharePoint has reached the level where these people can, with a litle direction and encouragement, be pointed to all kinds of places where they can get their hands on web parts, feeds, and web services, that they can drop right into their littlle piece of real estate and wow the people around them, adding value to their own internal or external customer base, consumers of whatever information or service that they've been tasked to produce. And all without the help of, or budgetary drain to, the IT or web production departments. I hope to be able to say the same after I build a couple of demonstration sites with DotNetNuke - which I'm planning to do over the next couple of weeks. \n\nThanks for turning me on to DotNetNuke. And best of luck to you and your team with the new extranet and portal. If you have any SharePoint-relat


can children who are in special education parents receive some type of financial assistance like from SSI?

Possibly.  There are alot of variables that have to be considered first.  Just because your child receives special education does not necessarily mean that your child's disability and level of functioning qualifies them as meeting the disability requirement to receive SSDI.  Even if your child's disability meets the criteria from the SSA for a qualifying disability you may still need to meet financial needs criteria before your child may be awarded SSDI.  Some states have a deeming waiver where the parents, or part of the parents assets are not counted towards the childs income limits for assessing SSDI award, but this is not true for all states, or all disability qualifications.  You have to investigate what your state has for SSDI programs.  You may also be elegible for Medicaid insurance for your child, or other state specific programs targeted at assisting families and children with disabilities.  Your state Dept of Human Resources would be a good place to start asking these types of questions.  \n\nIf your child is a candidate for SSDI disability you will need to collect documentation from as far back as when symptoms of the disability first presented itself.  You will also need financial documents and all assessment documents.  It is a lengthy and involved process.  The good news is that if you are successful then the SSDI award is back dated to the date of application.


I like Audacity which will allow you to record, edit and add effects to audio files.  If you want to record streaming audio then you can select "what U hear" from the drop down box in the program and it will record the stream.  To export as MP3 files you will need the LAME MP3 encoder as well.


Why do snow flakes have symmetric shapes(like star)?

It has to do with the 120-degree H20 water molecules (oxygen in the center, one hydrogen on each end) and how they crystalize as they freeze.  Snowflakes always form into 6-pointed stars.


How do you say "Go die in a fire" in french?

i used to work in neuropsychology and IQ was one of the domains that we tested.  i would imagine that many universities would have a department that does that as well... maybe career counseling or student advisor.  last i heard, WAIS-III (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale) was the standard and most accurate.  unless you are under 18, then it is the WISC-III (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children).

Why do some people dream in color, and others don't? What does this mean?

Dehydration is a significant factor in hangovers, but there's a lot more going on chemically and physiologically than just water loss.

WHY IS A PARKWAY USED TO DRIVE ON AND A DRIVEWAY IS USED TO PARK ON?

The precise definition of parkway is an arterial route lined with trees and/or other vegetation. It is thus a park and a way. A driveway actually is driven on, just not very much. Also, it is a drive way much in the same way that you drive a ball to the hole in golf, it is the way on which you reach your destination.


why sometimes i can't see all the graphics in my emails?

Images that get sent to you vie HTML e-mail work exactly the same way they do on web sites. When you view a web site that has graphic they are “Downloading” from a server so that you can see them. If there is a problem with the server that is displaying the images you will get a “Broken” image (an outline with a little x in the corner)\n\nDepending on the type of image that is trying to be displayed your e-mail client may not accept this “type” of image as there are many different types of images that can be displayed.\n\nThis might have to do with who or what ever created the original e-mail more then it has to do with your settings.


.45ACP is indeed the 45-caliber Colt Automatic Pistol - just as .32ACP is .32 caliber, Colt Automatic Pistol.\n\nA point of contention though - hollowpoints are not made to fragment inside a target. In fact, if they do so it's a failure of the bullet. The purpose of teh hollowpoint is to expand upon contact (at speed) with liquid medium, such as body tissue, so that the bullet will not pass completely through the target. Why not pass through the target? Two reasons. First, a bullet passing through a target means that not all of the bullet's kinetic energy was used up on the target - it was wasted. Secondly - and the main reason police (and I) carry hollowpoints - is that they pose less hazard to innocent bystanders if they don't pass through our intended targets.

Why do people spend money on apartments rather than buying a house?

It can be more complicated than you would think.  Lets say you can only afford a 70-80k property.  Renting may be a far better choice in a market with limited appriciation.  Factoring the 2 benefits of home ownership (interest deduction and appriciation) compared to the cons ( maintenance, up keep and taxes) a rental scenario may be much more financially prudent on smaller homes.\nThe iterest deduction may not be more than your standard deduction esspecially with several dependants and the maintenace on a smaller and most likely older home may be a greater percentage of the occupants gross income.\nApartments have stability in cost and limited to no cost to maintain.

Are you born smart or does intelligience have more to do with environment?

I think both are important genetics and environment.  However a person born smart (like you put it) but not exposed to knowledge will not excell to their full potential. And in the same regard a person born handicapted (*even slightly) cannot be made much smarter even with a great learning environment, this is a definite opion type question.

well, when I was thinking about being a nurse I decided to go to my local hospital and volunteer. This way you are exposed to different situations, see what goes on day to day in a hospital, you can ask questions of the staff. Most of all if you do check in at the ER you can see if you get panic over extreme blood or wounds. The added plus is you are also helping your community this way\n\nI decided not to become a nurse because I found out I passed out at the sight of blood :)


Why are most questions about United States?

Perhaps because most of the users are from the United States. And U.S. citizens appear to be mostly interested in their own country. Or perhaps it's because the U.S. is the sole superpower, and also seem to lead the world in cultural exports?


It's quite simple... it's either too hot or too cold.  Some planets and moons do have signs of ice, or ice which was there at some point in time.  Certainly somewhere outside of our solar system exists a planet with abundant water, but we've yet to discover such a place.


why do muslims are considered terrorists?

Most Muslims are not terrorists, and most terrorists aren't Muslims. Americans react more to Islamic terrorism because it comes from an outside source, whereas domestic terrorism from militia groups or urban gangs doesn't trigger a sense of national unity or a 'fight response.'

why is that after so long into an relatiopnship you fall out of love.?

you need to make sure you recognize falling out of love, and just moving into a different kind of love.  After being with the same person for a while, the sparks/puppy love/lust goes away and you have a deeper friendship sort of love and companionship (if its the right person, if its not, you will just fall out of love I guess)\nI would suggest checking out books by Dr. Helen Fisher.  She is a sexual anthropologist that writes about types of love and the biology behind love.  Really fascinating book.

It is generally assumed that Damascus in Syria is the most ancient city known to man.  As far back as 4,000 years ago, it was a major city of importance, in the time of Abraham.\n\nThere is also certain evidence pointing to Jericho as being over 9,000 years old, which would make it the oldest city man has found evidence of.\n\nOver 9,000 years ago, there was no record of history.  Anything before that would be a mere guess.

Aids, hepatitis, and pretty much any other blood-borne pathogen. They can all be transmitted by blood contact.


What is the easiest GUI toolkit for python, with good documentation?

I don't know if it's the easiest one, but I've used Tk with some success.  The nice part is you just have to import the Tkinter package and you can go from there - all the Tkinter objects have the properties and methods you need to set up a GUI.\n\nThe downside is that I found the way Tk does GUI layouts to be a bit confusing, so it took me a little while to get going with it.  I'd recommend giving it a shot, though.


how does 20Q work?  How do the program writers start to build such a thing?

Its based on Artificial Neural Networks, which are programmatical methods of trying to duplicate the activity of the human brain. It comprises of a learning stage, where the paths to different methods are chalked out. Then, when the input comes in, the program tries to track the path of the successive answers to ones that match the user's input closest (one method of achieving this is finding the least difference between each pair of input and entry in the database). This is done stage-wise, until a good guess is made on the possible solution to the user's responses.

Is President Bush doing the right thing with Iraq?

He was  12-14 months ago.  But now, it is time to move on!  We are loosing to many lives over there.  Their is very little direct benefit for us(USA)to control peace in Iraq.  The cost (the lives of our dedicate soldiers) is way to high to pay for this country. \n\nIraq has been a corrupt country for decades. It is not going to change by the forces of the US military.  The Iraq people must want it themselfs and must show they are willing to stand up to the many thugs of that country.

Why did God need to sacrifice His own son to forgive mankind?

This is a big one. People have argued it back and forth. I would say Jesus did not HAVE to die on the cross, but it is the reality of what sin does. It removes us completly from God. Jesus' message was actually intended to be heard and recieved, but human sin interfiered putting Jesus on the cross. What is the main point here is, not that Jesus died, but that he is risen. God's love is so powerful it can overcome the worse case senario. In this case Jesus being murdered on the cross.\nJesus' message is that God loves you and to love God back you need to love others. He died on the cross because he taught this, and yet God's love alone is enought to overcome that evil.


why is it so difficult for good looking women to find a decent man...or any man for that matter?

Good-looking women get asked out by a lot of guys, those who are superficial and those who are nice.  So I guess a smaller percentage of the total guys who ask you out are the nice ones, so you have to work harder to sort them out of the crowd.

My answer is google for the following reasons:\n\nPros of Google:\n\nAs a seach engine, google has the best relevance and presents the results in a way that I find easy to decide what pages are best for me. Its the best in terms of researching information.\n\nFor makin money, a #1 on google is worth many times more than a #1 on yahoo. Yahoo! blocks the top of the SERPs with sponsored ads.\n\nGoogle also has a neat interface. Yahoo is not bad too, but its interface is not that neat. The reason for that being it to be a portal. I think a nice interface is very important since people will come back more often if so.\n\nThe relevance of search results make its 'Feeling Lucky' feature pretty useful. Firefox address bar by defaults goes to 1 site listed on your search results.\n\nGoogle has tried to stay away from Spam/ misleading sites better than other search engines.\n\nCons of Google:\n\nHowever, few problems with google, its web crawler dosen't capture hyperlinks from PDF files stored on net, a feature which Yahoo provides.\n\nAlso, Google at present does not provide an index for video aggregation through the web crawler, a feature which Altavista provided since 1999. The problems include accuracy of the media file. That is the reason for providing Google Videos where users have to submit videos.\n\nDue to a larger share of 'searching' community, Google has been targeted by bloggers by planting Google Bombs.

This is tough because of what you said...you're still in love with him (how long were you guys dating?).  You need to find ways to distance yourself from him, and to do other activities which will take your mind off him.  Hang out with other friends, go take a class on something, do something fun and exciting.  If he calls you as much as you may want to talk to him you need to not answer the phone...in time you'll feel comfortable being separate and may have a chance at being friends then, but if he's playing games with you you need to avoid the situation as much as possible.

I play sports and like sports in general so I find it to be a fun extra outlet for competition. \n\nThere are those that don't like it at all and it is not for everyone.\n\nLike some things, you should try it to see if you like it and not just base your decision totally off of the opinions of others.
