Why do some teenagers steal money from their parents even if they are adviced that it is bad? Please help me.?

I used to.  To this day i still not figured out why i did it.  Maybe it was cause my parents were authoritarian.  Maybe because i was never allowed choices in anything and by having my own money i could choose something.  Maybe it was because it seemed they cared more for their money than for me.\nDon't think there is one reason.  But i do think it is to do with taking control on some level through a the eyes of a child.  I wasn't yet a teenager when i stole.

What the hell is going with my love ???? Need advice !!!!?

Your best bet is to move on, now!  He was probably silent from the time he talked about marriage and visiting you until now, because he had other "coals in the fire" and they didn't work out.  If there was a period of "silence" he was looking for a quicker or better way to get here.  He is using you, from the little bit of info you stated, and believe me, he is not serious!  You should move on and live your life and resolve your feelings for this "fantasy man".  Good luck to you in whatever you decide, because it is your ultimate decision, and believe me, I know letting go will be painful and confusing, but since you asked for advice, I think deep down in your heart you know he is using you.  God Bless.


Would someone please share a real-life example of a dysfunctional conflict that has occurred in their life.?

My son was diagnosed with clinical depression. He was confused emotionally and became very demanding. He wanted all my time and attention and he wanted me to buy him every thing he wanted or give him money all the time (A whole lot worse than normal). If I refused, he would scream abuse at me and break things in the house. The more I refused the more violent he became. In the end I had to ignore him, in order for his violence to stop, but it could take a while.


humminbird makes a portable fishfinder that can be used from shore. has anyone used this or similar device????

There is one made called "fishing buddy" . Pretty worthless if you must ask me....Even on my boat where I have 2 fishfinders mostly we use them for finding structure or depth...not so much fish. How much is the depth and strutcure going to change fishing from shore...not much right. These things actually work best for ice fishing....save your money. Buy a better rod to cast further from shore if your gonna spend.


Is the world more dangerous today than a decade ago?

Yes in general the world has become worse. Of course there are certain small areas that are "safer", and technologies that have made us "safer" but sometimes they bring their own badness, so generally, it's a lot more dangerous.

I need information about organized crime in pre-WWII?

Why not start here...\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organized_crime


Is this (x + 3)/[x*(x - 1)^2] ? In that case, the limit is as you stated, positive infinity. \nA limit is never undefined; it either exists, or it does not exist. In the special case that it does not exist and it increases without bound or decreases without bound from all approaches, we say the limit is positive or negative infinity respectively.\nAs always, when a limit diverges, look at the behavior of the expression in an arbitrarily small region around the limit point (in this case, x=1). Since the denominator is a square multiplied by x, it is never negative in a sufficiently small neighborhood of 1 (specifically, any neighborhood contained in the interval (0,infinity) ). Similarly, the numerator is never negative in a sufficiently small neighborhood of 1, so the behavior of the whole expression is to diverge to positive infinity, no matter how it is approached.

Is it proper for your husbands's brother in-law to come unannounced to your house in the middle of the night?

wow. Its rude if you want my opinion.  YOu cant drive five states and just show up!  Obviously driving five states he had a really good idea as to what he was doing.. therefore a little warning would have been nice.  Maybe he thought if he did you would say no so he just showed up.. hence.. its rude.  very rude.

calculate the pH of a solution prepared by mixing 15 mL of .1 M NaOH and 30 mL of .1 M benzoic acid solution?

pH for a salt of strong base and weak acid is given by:\n         pH = 7 - (1/2)pKb - (1/2)log C\nwhere pKb = dissociation const of strong base\n       C  = concentration of Acid.\n\nKb = Kw / Ka = (10^-14) / (6.5 x 10^-5) = 1.53x10^-10\npKb = -log (1.53x10^-10) = 9.8154\nlog C = log 10^-1 = -1\n\npH = 7 - (1/2)x 9.8154 - (1/2)x-1\n   = 7 - 4.9077 + 0.5\n   = 2.5923

metallurgical engineering job creating opportunities?

Part of the downfall of USX,(US Steel) was the little companies specialized in doing high quality, specialized steel and alloys. Bethlehem steel kept wanting to make more and the old fashion way. \nLow tech side. I have heard of steel studs for houses. They are put together like an erector set. Wood business wants to steel more wood and would not have thought of doing that. I worked with a group making new wires and diffusion barriers for semiconductors. Copper is conducts faster, but diffuses more for example. Gold is used on the outside since it doesn't corrode. \nPerhaps a solar, induction furnace to melt down old cars, cans?

the Difference between the establishment clause and the free exercise clause?

Two clauses of the First Amendment concern the relationship of government to religion: the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause.  Although the clauses were intended by the framers to serve common values, there is some tension between the two.  For example, some people might suggest that providing a military chaplain for troops stationed overseas violates the Establishment Clause, while others might suggest that failing to provide a chaplain violates the Free Exercise Clause rights of the same troops.  I will, however, postpone discussion of how the two clauses ought to be reconciled, and begin with an examination of the meaning of the Establishment Clause. \nAt an absolute minimum, the Establishment Clause was intended to prohibit the federal government from declaring and financially supporting a national religion, such as existed in many other countries at the time of the nation's founding.  It is far less clear whether the Establishment Clause was also intended to prevent the federal government from supporting Christianity in general.  Proponents of a narrow interpretation of the clause point out that the same First Congress that proposed the Bill of Rights also opened its legislative day with prayer and voted to apportion federal dollars to establish Christian missions in the Indian lands.  On the other hand, persons seeing a far broader meaning in the clause point to writings by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison suggesting the need to establish "a wall of separation" between church and state. \n\nSupreme Court interpretation of the Establishment Clause does not begin until 1947 in Everson v Board of Education.  Voting 5 to 4, the Court upheld a state law that reimbursed parents for the cost of busing their children to parochial schools.  (It was clear from the various opinions in Everson that if the state had reimbursed the parochial schools for the cost of providing the transportation, that it would have been found to violate the Establishment Clause.)  Although in his majority opinion Justice Black wrote of the "wall of separation" that the Constitution maintains between church and state, Black viewed the aid in question of serving the state's secular interest in getting kids "safely and expeditiously" to schools.  The case is noteworthy for its extensive discussion of the purposes of the Establishment Clause, and for the fact that all nine justices agree that the clause was intended to do far more than merely prohibit the establishment of a state religion. \n\nSubsequent decisions make clear that a majority of justices on the Supreme Court view "the wall" separating church and state more as a shifting, porous barrier. Small factual differences in cases often produce different outcomes.  For example, in 1948, the Court found that the practice of inviting religious instructors into public schools to give optional religious instruction violates the Establishment Clause.  Then, in the 1952 case of Zorach v Clauson, the Court upheld the practice of giving public school students "release time" so that they could attend religious programs in churches in synagogues.  Writing for the Court in Zorach, Justice Douglas said the Constitution does not require "callous indifference to religion." \n\nThe question of school-sponsored prayer has, of course, proven highly controversial.  In the landmark case of Engel v Vitale in 1962, the Court ruled that New York's practice of beginning school days with a prayer drafted by school officials violated the Establishment Clause.  This is the case, the Court said, whether or not students are given the option of not participating in the prayer.  Following Engel, the Court has faced a whole series of prayer-related cases in the public school context raising issues such a prayer in special circumstances (e.g., graduation ceremonies), periods for silent meditation or silent prayer, and student-initiated prayer.


Where on the Internet can I find some resident evil or silent hill novels that I can download.?

I agree with Donna. The Da Vinci Code says alot of things about Jesus like he was married and had kids that are historically and biblicaly inaccurate. They are blaphemous and it is unfortunate that such a thing has become so popular. Also remember even though there are people who believe the false facts in the Da Vinci Code to be true they are not true and the book is listed as fiction not historic.


Do you really need an environmental and drainage search when moving home?

You might want to try rephrasing this question, as it is kind of confusing. \n\nWhen buying a home in some areas you must sign a drainage disclosure, which states that that there could be drainage problems in the future.\n\nAs far as the environmental part of your question, if the home you are purchasing is on a septic instead of sewer, you may want to check your county/city department of environmental health to ensure that the septic tank on the property is sufficient size to handle the number of bedrooms.\n\nI hope that helped. If you could add more detail to your question it would be easier to answer.

Why did Jesus ask God why did he forsake him???

He was not "mad at God", but he WAS in great distress.\n\nThe language he uses here is that of the LAMENT -- a prayer crying out to God for help by one in great distress (though often ultimately expressing confidence that God will hear and deliver!)  The Psalms contain many of them, including quite a number by DAVID when he was being chased by Saul, etc.   In fact, Jesus here takes the language of one of David's own laments, Psalm 22, in which David speaks of God's faithfulness to him and to rescue his people in the past, but is overwhelmed because 'right now' he can't see any hope.\n\nBut it's much more than Jesus just "quoting from a Psalm of David to prove he is the Messiah".   Indeed, Jesus WAS the Anointed One (God's chosen King), the Son of David, and as such he experienced (in spades!) and fulfilled what his forefather experienced in part, on behalf of his people.\n\nIf you read through the crucifixion account in Matthew (where Jesus speaks these words), you discover SEVERAL echoes of Psalm 22, esp. describing how his enemies mistreat and taunt him (also some echoes from Psalm 69).  \n\nIt is as if Jesus as the greater Son of David is 're-living' what David experienced -- only in a FULLER way, because while David was in these situations threatened with death and rescued from it, Jesus actually DID die and THEN his Father answered his cries by raising him up from OUT of the grave  (compare Hebrews 5:7).\n\nThis idea of David's words & experiences being reflected in Jesus, but in a FULLER way, is reflected elsewwhere in the New Testament.  A favorite example of mine -- in his Pentecost sermon Peter cites Psalm 16 (a psalm of David), but points out that the words point to resurrection and that this was NOT fulfilled with David, but pointed forward to Jesus.\n\nAlso note that Jesus himself KNEW how difficult this death would be --not simply the physical suffering, but the SHAME and public abandonment (being hanged on a tree marked one as under God's CURSE!  Galatians 3:13, from Deuteronomy 21:13).  \nIn this regard, note how the crucifixion story, following Psalm 22, emphasizes the MOCKING of the enemies who think they have triumphed over him and see his suffering as a sign of God's rejection  ("let him deliver him if he delights in him" implies that God does NOT delight in Jesus or he would not be there)\n\nMore than that, Jesus prayed in the Garden for his Father, if possible, to spare him drinking from this CUP.  This shows not only that he knew, but that he understood what was about to be happening to be the experience of God's own wrath and rejection.  You see, the "cup of God's wrath" was an important Old Testament image of God's judgment (Psalm 75:18, Jeremiah 25:15, etc) and that is what Jesus was facing.\n\n-------------\n\nBut note that this is not the end of the "Psalm 22 story". David went on to express confidence that God WOULD hear him and deliver him and that he would declare to all what God had done.    And even in Jesus' distress we should see the same ultimate hope, amidst his agony.  (In fact, Luke shows us this by citing Jesus' FINAL words, from another psalm of David [Psalm 31], as he entrusts himself to God --"Into your hands I commit my spirit.")   And the writer of Hebrews cites the end of Psalm 22 of Jesus, saying that he DID go on to declare God's praise among his brothers [Hebrews 2:12 - compare Romans 15:9, quoting from Psalm 18:49]


3 Places we must draw the line on rights are....?

A good rule of thumb is you have rights to just about any action that doesn't impinge upon the rights of others. Example: you have the right to smoke but not where other people are that don't want to be exposed to second hand smoke, like a restaurant.


How do I tell someone who has been my best friend for a long time that I dont want to be her friend anymore?

If she has been your best friend for a long time, I would encourage you to not make a hasty decision. You can find friends (and even boyfriends) anywhere, but best friends take years to grow. You should do your best to save this friendship before calling it quits.\n\nMy advice is talk to her before you take the final step of "de-friending" her. Explain to her that you've valued her friendship, but that her current behavior isn't excusable. Confront her about her rudeness, and don't be afraid to name specific times and places where she acted like a bee-yotch. She apparently USED to act nice, because otherwise you never would have been friends with her. Remind her of those days. Finally, tell her (in very clear terms) that if she doesn't start acting right, you want nothing to do with her.\n\nThis puts all of the pressure on her, see? If she changes her evil ways, then you've kept your best friend and are better off than before. If she doesn't, at least it isn't your fault that the friendship ended. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck. Hopefully your friend will see the light, but if not... at least the blame will be on her head, not yours.

I am broke and can't go places. SO HOW CAN I HELP PEOPLE OR ANIMALS OR THINGS PLEASE ANSWER?

You can help out your neighbors.  And maybe make a few bucks at the same time.  Mow the lawn, pull weeds, walk someone's dog, clean up the dog poop in back yard, babysit, wash cars....  The last two years I wish I could find a teenager to help me out when I needed it.  And I would've gladly paid for the help.  \n\nMake some sort of flyer to pass out to the neighbors to "advertise".

are there any over the counter drugs for pink eye?

Pink eye is caused by either bacteria or a virus.  If it's a virus, the only thing you can do is wait it out and make sure you don't spread it.  If it's bacteria, antibiotic eye drops will help speed up the course of the disease.  There are no antibiotic eye drops available over the counter.  I highly recommend that you see your eye doctor for a proper diagnosis and his/her recommendations for treatment.

No lease agreement! Can my rent be raised without written notice. but not raise the rent of other occupant?

Even if you don't have a lease you still have some renters rights.  Do you have proof that you have been paying rent? Like copies of checks?  Your rights are different depending on what state you are in, but here in California lease or no lease I think it's 60 days notice.\n\nLegal action is very costly though, I'd recommend just finding a better place.


Have you ever wondered why women you see out at\nbars and nightclubs (and even at malls and\nrestaurants) sometimes dress so SEXY?\n\n    It's an interesting question.\n\n    I mean, let's think about it from the woman's\nperspective...\n\n    An attractive woman gets attention from men all\nthe time... no matter WHAT she's wearing.\n\n    Attractive women don't have to "accent" their\nbeauty in order to attract men.\n\n    And the question becomes VERY interesting when\nyou consider that often it's the most BEAUTIFUL\nwomen that go to the GREATEST lengths to enhance\ntheir beauty.\n\n    You know what I mean...\n\n    A perfectly beautiful woman gets an expensive\noperation to make herself "one cup size" larger...\n\n    A tall, stunning model spends all day at the\nmall shopping for just the right high-heeled\nshoes...\n\n    A naturally beautiful woman spends hours in\nfront of the mirror getting ready to go out... and\nputs on tons of makeup...\n\n    AND FOR WHAT?\n\n    Could it possibly be worth all the extra time\nand effort... spending HOURS and HOURS to get that\n"extra little bit" of beauty, when a woman already\nhas "more than enough"?\n\n    Hey, no one ever said women made SENSE.\n\n    (Don't get too excited. Men have their strange\npoints as well.)\n\n    Let me tell you about a few of the reasons why\nwomen go to these lengths to squeeze that "extra\nlittle bit" out of their beauty...\n\n  1. To Maximize Her Strengths In Order To Attract\nThe Best Man\n\n    Let's turn this picture around, and look at it\nfrom another direction.\n\n    Let's imagine that an attractive woman is\ngetting ready to go to a party.\n\n    There are going to be a hundred men and a\nhundred women at this party (I know, I know... you\nthink that I must be smoking something... because\nmost parties have 100 men and 10 women... and\nresemble the sausage counter at your local\nmarket... but humor me here for a second).\n\n    If there are going to be a hundred men at this\nparty, it follows that a few of those men are\ngoing to be the "best" ones.\n\n    Do you think this particular woman is going to\nwant to settle for one of the "random sausages"\nrunning around?\n\n    Nope.\n\n    She wants the "best" one... if possible.\n\n    And that guy has OPTIONS.\n\n    Soooo... she needs to "fix herself up", EVEN\nTHOUGH SHE'S ALREADY BEAUTIFUL... if she wants to\nhave the BEST chance of getting THAT guy.\n\n  2. Competition From Other Women\n\n    This particular idea was one of the most\ninteresting and surprising things I learned about\nwomen while I was educating myself about dating\nand attraction.\n\n    Here's the deal:\n\n    Attractive women tend to be VERY, VERY\ncompetitive.\n\n    A few years ago, when I first moved to Los\nAngeles, I was introduced to a concept called "The\nBitch Look".\n\n    Sounds charming, doesn't it?\n\n    Here's how it works...\n\n    When a "hot" woman walks into a room, EVERYONE\nchecks her out.\n\n    The "sausage" looks her up and down with a "let\nme get a really good look because I'll be using\nher as a spank-it fantasy later" stare.\n\n    The "top guys", who have options, glance at her\nand make a "mental note" to talk to her later.\n\n    The OTHER hot women look at her and give her...\nyep, you guessed it.... THE BITCH LOOK.\n\n    Why?\n\n    Because another hot woman is instantly seen as\nCOMPETITION.\n\n    A hot woman doesn't want OTHER hot women\ncompeting with her for the "best guys".\n\n    So they give other women "bitch looks".\n\n    It's competition, intimidation, and millions of\nyears of evolution all rolled up into one special\npackage.\n\n    (Think about this for a minute, because there's\na clue here about how to attract the MOST\nattractive women

how do i become either a collegiate or professional baseball umpire?

There are two schools that you must attend to become a professional umpire.  They begin usually the fitsrt full week in January and go for 5 weeks.  They are both located in Florida.  One is the Harry Wendlestedt School and the other is Jim Evans Academy of Professional Umpiring.  For college you should find a local high school or summer league association and branch out from there.  Most Junior Colleges use high school guys with experience.  The upper divisions usually use umpires that have attended pro school and didn't make it, or guys with lots of years and experience.

You don't need credit if you can pay for the house in cash.  So, money is a pretty important requirement... you'll need it for the down payment if you're going to borrow, and if your credit is bad, you won't be able to get a loan.  Most lenders will also expect you to have a steady income, too.


If price of Oil rises too high will the government introduce Fuel Rationing?

They'll just keep putting the prices up because they know that companies and individuals have no option but to pay.  It's what's heppened here in the UK where gas is now more than $7.50 a gallon and demand is still rising.\n\nThere won't be fuel rationing unless there's an actual shortage of fuel and that doesn't seem likely.\n\nI can only speak for the UK when I say that there has been fuel rationing - during the war and during the oil crisis of the early 1970's.

something you can do is make him notice you by sayin something smart in class, since he is intelligent, you might catch his eye and focuz on you a bit more. Ask him for something, a pen a paper, or some help in an assignement, even if you already know the answer. Also start a conversation about the class, and then introduce yourself and he will do likewise, just have a bit of courage, but let him do the work, just give him a little quick start on that, if he don't pick it up, sweetie he's not interested or he's playing hard to get, but i'm pretty sure that he will be interested in you. good luck, if you need more help, just e-mail me east_side_outlaw2003@yahoo.com

Wat does the computer's microprocessor enable the computer system to do? And wath was it's original purpose?

The computers microprocessor is its "brain".Its job is to do matemathical (3+9*85+*6) and logical (xor, and , or etc.) operations.Well the first computer ENIAC was used to do sums, i believe that was "it's original purpose".People often refer to the microproceesor as CPU, wich means Central Processing Unit.There a large variety of processors and processor brands, but the 2 most renowed types are Intel and Motorola.Intel (and AMD) Cpu's are used in pc's and Motorola's are used In Apple Machintosh systems(although apple is moving to the Intel platform).Intel based CPU's include the older 286, 386, 486 ,Pentium,Duron,Athlon,etc.The Intel 32 bit platdorm is also refered to as x86(because of the 86 at the end of the cpus codename).Now we are experincing the ascension of the x64 platform (64 bits) with cpus such as AMD Athlon64 and Intel Itanium.

Give ful details about international line?

International Date Line, irregular line drawn on the map of the Pacific Ocean, near, and in many places coincident with, the 180th meridian. It marks the place where navigators change their date by one day on a transpacific voyage. East of the line it is one day earlier than to the west.\n\nAny traveler circling the globe in a westward direction lengthens the day by 1 hour for every 15° of longitude traveled because the traveler is following the apparent motion of the sun; by the time he or she has traveled completely around the world, the traveler is one full day ahead of the people who have remained at the starting place of the trip. Similarly, going eastward, a traveler arrives a day behind.\n\nClose to the 180th meridian, nearly in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a place chosen because of the virtual absence of land and of civilization in the region, navigators going westward add a day to their calendars (for example, the day after August 6 would be August 8), and navigators going eastward drop a day from their calendars (for example, the day after August 6 would be August 6) to correct for this gain or loss of time. The date line is curved eastward around Siberia, westward around the Aleutian Islands, and eastward around the Fiji Islands and New Zealand; the line is so curved to avoid crossing land.\n\n© 1993-2003 Microsoft Corporation.

Long-nosed, large-nosed, prying. However if you want to know about why people are called 'nosey parkers', then read on.\n\nThe most usual origin suggested is the late (the very late) Matthew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury in the reign of Elizabeth I in the sixteenth century. He was a reforming cleric, noted for sending out detailed enquiries and instructions relating to the conduct of his diocese. Like many reformers, he was regarded as a busybody.\n\nHowever, the huge flaw in this suggestion is that the term nosey Parker isn’t recorded until 1907. The term nosey for someone inquisitive, figuratively always sticking their nose into other people’s affairs, is a little older, but even that only dates back to the 1880s. Before then, anyone called nosey was just somebody with a big nose, like the Duke of Wellington, who had the nickname Old Nosey.\n\nOne suggestion, put forward by Eric Partridge in his Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English, was that the saying dates from the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park in 1851. Very large numbers of people attended the Exhibition, so there would have been lots of opportunities for peeping Toms and eavesdroppers in the grounds. The word parker has since medieval times been used for an official in charge of a park, a park-keeper; I’ve read that the term was used informally for the royal park-keepers who supervised Hyde Park at the time of the Great Exhibition. So the saying might conceivably have been applied to a nosey park-keeper. It would require the inquisitive sense of nosey to have originated about 30 years before it is first recorded—not impossible.\n\nAnother idea, put forward in Brewer’s Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, is that the phrase nosey Parker was originally nose-poker. Poker, in the sense of somebody who pries into another’s affairs, certainly has a long history, well pre-dating the nineteenth century appearance of nosey Parker. It’s not impossible that nose-poker became modified with the second element being converted into a proper name. Stranger things have happened. But evidence is suspiciously lacking: the Oxford English Dictionary has no record of nose-poker anywhere and I can’t find an example.\n\nBut all this is the purest supposition. The evidence isn’t on record, and the truth will probably never be found.

why do students study before an exam? Is it to get an A or to avoid a fail?

We're not actually studying. We usually slip something a bit more exciting, like a Green Lantern comic book or photos of Chuck Norris, into the textbook. Then we pontificate our intelligence out loud to one another, then walk in and take the test, which is in fact entirely based on how well you bubble in your answers.

Why don't we generally notice the effects of special relativity in out daily lives?

We do not notice the effects of relativity, since the mass-energy we encounter is too small and the speeds are too small relative to the speed of light. That is of course, unless your everyday life involves particle accelerators! The regime of the effects of special relativity can be measured with regard to gamma, thus:\n\ngamma=1/sqrt(1-(v^2/c^2)), where v = the object velocity and c = spped of light. If v/c (or v^2/c^2) is << 1, the effects wont be noticed, i.e the object is "non-relativistic".

(www.google.com)\n(www.wikipedia.com)\n\nHere the site in sources, I looked starfishes up in google and this is one of the search sites it came up with.\n\nPut this info below in your own words because this info is from copywright google:\n\nThe Class Asteroidea ("star form") includes animals commonly called starfish or sea stars.  Most forms have a flattened and flexible body with a varying number (often five) arms, or rays, arranged around a central disc. The oral surface (the side with the mouth) faces the substrate.  The "top side" (aboral surface) contains the anus and the entrance to the water-vascular systems called a madreporite.  Water enters the madreporite and is delivered through a system of canals to the tube feet, which are equipped with suckers that can adhere to the substrate or their prey (often bivalves).  Although beautiful, some starfish are regarded as serious pests to the oyster, clam and mussel industry, and the crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci) can severely damage Pacific coral reefs by its grazing activities (i.e. feeding on the coral polyps). \n\n\nGood luck


How do deaf people talk to themselves/thing without even knowing a word?

"Without even knowing a word". Reread what you said and really ask yourself, do you honestly assume that deaf people do not know the written language?   Do you really think they stay at home throughout their entire childhood years not learning how to read, write, learn math, science, history, and so on like you do too? Do you think that they can learn all those things without reading the words in the textbooks? Regardless of the fact that some deaf people sign only in ASL, we all still have to learn English anyways in order to read and write and get an education. The real truth is that deaf people are BILINGUAL. Many learn both ASL and English. (Some only learn English and never ASL if they grew up in the oral method which is myself.) \n\nThe mind is not only limited to sign language. It can communicate in the written language as well. The mind does not need the vocal cords in order to think thoughts in words like a spoken language. It varies among deaf people. One would probably like signing to themselves when they think and talk to themselves. I've seen it occur. I am sure that for some, they sign to themselves in their minds or use a mixture of both words and signs. Some may mostly use words in an an expression of "Deaf English" which is not as perfect as English based on the sounds that we do not hear.\n\nI'll give you an example, I'm sure one who only signs strictly in ASL mainly would probably think "me store" or "me need store" if they're thinking about going to the store because that is how you say it in ASL. You would think "I need to go to the store". I always think in English like you do because that is my main mode of communication and expression. Even though I may be fluent in ASL, but I do not think in sign.\n\nI do not learn new words auditorally like you do. I learn them by reading it first and then learning how to pronounce it. Either someone would tell me how to pronounce it or I would look it up in the dictionary and it would describe the pronunciation. However, if I have no idea how it is properly pronounced, I just do my best to guess it. I'm pretty good at guessing the pronunciations because I love reading and have been speaking all my life. I've always been very good at English than the average person. So my mind would speak the words that it guesses what it would sound like.

What is the principles of the nonviolent civil rights movement of Martin Luther King?

What he did was embarass mankind by showing how unbelievably idiotic we can be in our thinking.  \n\nWe have been on this planet thousands of years.  Thousands of years.  We have technological prowess which is simply amazing.  We have compassion for our fellow man which is unrivaled in the "animal" kingdom, yet, here we are, "evolved", "intelligent", "compassionate", and morons all at the same time.  \n\nNot all thankfully, but, there are some who think simply because a person looks different then them, and there are less of them, that they are now "lower" then them.  It is the epitomy of short sighted and narrow minded.  \n\nBut, who looks more stupid, the whites pointing at the blacks and calling them "n**gers", or the blacks pointing at themselves and calling themselves the same thing.  \n\nIt is a shame the human mind cannot evolve upward at at equal rate.  We can think logically enough, and come together enough, to fly to another planet, land on it, and come back home safe, yet, our emotional mind just can't quite get a grasp on reality, so we will kill each other simply because we look different, or kill because of religious beliefs, and if we can't quite deal with it all, we will take our own invention; drugs, and numb ourselves, sometimes to death.  \n\nWe can be so damn smart, and so damn stupid all at the same time.  \n\nThank you to those who will put it on the line, and say it.  Thank you Martin Luther King.  It is just sad the message didn't reach everyone.


please explain the army lifecycle system and what rights the units have to retain soldiers who want to go SF?

It's up to the CO and maybe the BCN if they want you to go. Upon graduation, SF soldiers are normally promoted to E-5, so they have the right to retain you if they don't think that you are ready to be a NCO. Age requiremtnes, funding issues, available slots are also factors that will weigh in on your chance of getting the school.\n\nDid you enlist under the 18x option? If so, then I believe you have the right to attend the school after a sufficient TIS. If not, then it is a commander's decision.

true or false.f(3)=5 and f is invertible, then f^-1(3)=1/5  -- g(3)=g(5) then g is no invertible?

Think about what the inverse does. i.e. f(3) * f^-1(3) = 3 better be true.  Further, f(f^-1(3)) = 3. From what you are given, does f(1/5) = 3?    I can't tell. Did you type the question completely?\n\nSecond question: g(3) = g(5).  This implies it g is not a injective (1-1) function.  Can a non-injective function have an inverse?  Say g(3) = g(5) = 100 then what does g^-1(100) equal?  3 or 5?

I got this from the nhs website in UK- check out the link for more info- its good quality info that you can trust.\n\nTreatment\nSometimes no treatment is needed and, like with colds, the immune system will clear the virus and any associated symptoms within a week. However, if you have severe symptoms, or the infection has not cleared within a week, your GP may prescribe you antibiotics. \n\nIn either case there are ways to help relieve your suffering in the meantime. \n\nPainkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen can  relieve a headache, high temperature and any pain or tenderness around the infected area. \nYou can buy decongestant nasal sprays or drops from pharmacies, and although they may not shorten the duration of sinusitis, they may briefly relieve a blocked nose, helping you to breathe more easily. Be aware that you should not use a decongestant spray or drops for more than a period of five to seven days at a time. \nSteam inhalation may help relieve discomfort and nasal blockages, although there is little evidence to prove how effective this method is at fighting sinusitis.\nUntreated or particularly severe cases may require surgery to drain the sinuses.


who can tell me thesummary of lord of the flies and the chronicles of narnia???

Lord Of The Flies: A number of boys crash land on a desert island, amid rumours of an atomic war. The first two characters to meet are the athletic, somewhat heroic Ralph and a bespectacled, fat boy known only as Piggy, who use a conch to call the other boys to them from across the island. One other potential leader arises from the boys - Jack, who had been leading a choir. Ralph, in fact, is elected as leader, and early on the book is full of optimism of what the boys expect to be fun. This is reflective of Ralph being a kind, democratic character, and Piggy his less popular, but intelligent back-up.\n\nHowever, early on there is talk of a "beastie" - scaring a lot of the boys. The boys' first attempt to work together towards being rescued ends up in them starting a signal fire (lit by Piggy's glasses) which goes out of control, scorching half of the island. The life on the island continues to be disorganised - the major players (Jack and Ralph) have differing aims for the island, and the only person willing to co-operate with the building of shelters is Simon - who is often seen as representing religion, goodwill and spiritualism in the novel.\n\nThe descent of the boys into chaos starts, ironically, with the potential for rescue, but Jack had led a group off hunting rather than tending to a signal fire, and the ship sails past. The ensuing argument sees Piggy's glasses broken. Jack continues through the book as a tyrant, as do other members of his choir - the irony of the way these angelic children change is no accident.\n\nA dead parachutist lands on the island, and the twins: Sam and Eric (Samneric, as they become known) assume it is the beast - causing mass panic. An expedition to investigate ends in Ralph, Jack and Roger (Jack's sadistic friend) ascending the mountain, and coming back down even quicker. The "beastie" now becomes known as a "beast". Jack denounces Ralph as a coward, and leaves his chiefdom to create a new tribe. This new tribe is quickly able to hunt down a pig, and they decide to host a feast. Before that, they sever the pig's head and place it on a stick as an offering to the "beast". Simon comes across it, seeing that it has been infested with flies, and it speaks to him, though it is through hallucination. Its messages foreshadow the fate of Simon and he faints after that. Jack's tribe hosts the feast and here, he also orders a ritualistic dance - and Simon, who has just run down from the mountain to break the news about the beast being a dead man and being talked to by the "Lord of the Flies", is mistaken as the beast and is beaten to death by the crazed boys, ultimately being drawn out to sea with the tide.\n\nRalph has seen his tribe dwindle in number. The larger, less civilized tribe of Jack, however, need to steal from them - Piggy's glasses allow them to light a fire. An overly optimistic Piggy demands them back, but is killed when Roger drops a strategically placed boulder on him. Jack fails to kill Ralph at this meeting, and the next day his tribe try to hunt him down. In doing this, they set up a forest fire, which is seen by a passing naval vessel - one of the ship's officers comes ashore and rescues the boys. Ralph's barely escape from death is tinged with irony, both since the forest fire started to flush him out alerts the passing ship and the boys are rescued by a ship of war, and as Ralph begins to weep for "the end of innocence", so do all the other boys. The rescue had come at an awful price.


It's like a video camera that stays on inside your brain 24/7.  It records everything you see, hear, touch, smell, taste, feel, sense, experience, etc.  It records all memories, fears, emotions, and stores the core beliefs we have about ourselves and the world.\n\nSome examples of how our subconscious "records" information that we aren't aware of that we later recognize are: \n1. losing your car keys but later having the sight of your umbrella trigger you remembering you left them in your raincoat pocket.\n2. driving on a familiar road...getting to your destination..and realizing you don't remember a lot of the drive...Your subconscious mind has a recording of that road and drives it for you while the conscious mind is thinking about what you're cooking for dinner.\n3. smelling a cologne and being reminded of an old boyfriend you haven't thought about in 20 years!  The smell of the cologne has been recorded in the subconscious mind all those years!\n\nYour conscious mind is your very best friend...very open to positive suggestion.

Does the US Government want to keep everyone numb, dumb and stupid?

There are many problems that exist with public schools, and there are a variety of reasons.  Parents aren't making their kids learn any discipline or have any discipline about learning, schools are underfunded, teachers are underpaid, (which makes some potentially great teachers choose other fields) lack of community support, exagerated emphasis on standardized testing, etc.  The biggest problem would be apathy from the general public, everyone always thinks that it either isn't their problem or that someone else will fix it. It's like the TV ad with the huge group of people standing around talking about how horrible it is that someone dropped trash 2 feet from the trash can, but no one in the group actually reaches down and picks it up.  Lest you all think I am all talk and no action, I am an 11 year veteran teacher of public high school, and yes, I am still "in the trenches."

What is the best franchise to invest in?

Traditionally, deli style restaurants outperform all other food concepts in the restaurant market. They simply have a higher profit margin on average. Pizza concepts run a close second.\n\nFor years, the three fastest growing franchises have been:\n1) Subway\n2) Curves\n3) Quiznos\n\nIt's no coincidence that two of the top three are deli restaurants. The third is a women's workout center btw.\n\nWhat really determines how fast a franchise will grow is not the quality of their product or service. It is the Return on Investment (ROI) for their investors and the size of the startup costs. The top three fastest growing franchises all have relatively low startup costs, $100,000-$600,000 depending on the location and the size of the store, with the averages being between $200,000 and $450,000.\n\nThere are however some downsides to starting one of the fastest growing franchises, one downside being market saturation. While the profit margin for deli franchises has always been high, Subways in the past have averaged 25-28% profit margins after royalties, these margins have been dropping fast in the last few years due to market saturation. Basically, most the prime locations are already taken. The growth of the franchises are outpacing new prime location spots being built. What's resulting is that new owners are putting top franchises in less than prime locations and the average profits on those stores are less than the owners were lead to believe they should be. Subway is currently under investigation for mistated potential earnings to their franchisees.\n\nUltimately, the best franchise isn't determined by which frachise has the best record, most profit, etc., though all that should be a consideration. If you really want the right franchise, find an area with plenty of expendable income and a need that is not met. Then find a good, profitable franchise that meets that need to open up. Creating a supply where there is already a demand is always the safest bet.\n\nIf you'd like some help choosing a franchise, or have an idea you think others would pay you money for, and want to build a plan to run and eventually franchise it, contact me.\n\nBrandon O'Dell\nO'Dell Consulting\nRestaurants/Retail/Bars\nbodell1@cox.net\nhttp://www.bodellconsulting.com


How Would You Cope If The Things You Knew Altered In NAME, COLOUR Or SHAPE?

That all depends on what you mean exactly.  IF it was me who was somehow able to change things as we know them, then i'm sure  I could handle it quite well.  But then if it was someone else doing it, and they could change what the items were called, or what they looked like right in front of me, and in the whole history of the item, then it wouldn't make any difference as I would remember it only as the new name / colour / shape!

What are some common materials that Selenium is found in?

Selenium exists in several allotropic forms; red selenium is monoclinic and contains Se8 rings. It has a melting point of 180C and a relative density of 4.45. The grey (metallic) form of selenium is formed when other varieties are heated to 200C; this has a melting point of 220C and a relative density of 4.80. Selenium is widely distributed, mainly as the selenides of heavy metals, but only has an abundance of 0.05 ppm in the earth's crust. The metal burns in air and is unaffected by water. It is soluble in alkalis and concentrated nitric acid. \n\nThe electrical properties of selenium are of particular interest as it is both photovoltaic (i.e. it becomes an electrical conductor when exposed to light or ultra violet radiation) and photoconductive (i.e. the electrical conductivity increases with increasing illumination). These properties mean that selenium has applications in the electronics industry (e.g. in the manufacture of photoelectric cells and solar cells). Selenium is used in the ceramics and glass industries (in the latter the element being used as a decoloriser and also in the manufacture of red glasses and enamels). Selenium is an important trace element for humans, the average body containing approximately 14 mg.

Is it more common for women to sexually experiment with the same sex, female on female, than for men ???


*  Get to know the people as best you can. Use email, phone interviews and even video conferencing to get a better feel for them.\n    * Check work references and employment history.\n    * Has this person worked as part of a virtual team before? Was it successful? If it was not successful - why? Why does this person think a previous virtual team experience succeeded or failed?\n    * Does the person take responsibility seriously? Does it appear they tend to blame others quickly and for things they should have been responsible for?\n    * What is their level of commitment? Are they interested in short or long term involvements?\n    * What is their motivation for being part of a virtual team? Try to gain an understanding of what is motivating them. How independent are they?\n    * Are they a Leader or Follower?\n\nTeam Activities and Monitoring\n\n    * Identify team leaders. Make provisions for alternates in advance.\n    * What will be the methods of communication used and the frequency of meetings?\n    * Require regular updates from all team members. This is the best way to ensure you get a complete picture of activities.\n    * During regularly scheduled meetings use this time to discuss the negative and positive.\n    * At the first indication of a problem - take action! This action may be in the form of direct intervention with the members involved or letting the entire team know that you are aware of what is happening and that it will be resolved.\n\nMost importantly - don't distance yourself from team members. Be available to them, this will increase the trust they have in you and shows them that you respect them.

One thing that must be understood about human nature is that people thrive in the understood, and that which is not understood is to be feared.  That being said, the "Goths" of today (they should learn more about the culture from which they believe they are derived) are seeking to be that which is misunderstood; it's part of the mystique.  Many a teen-ager has felt that they are the only ones feeling this way, that they ar alone and misunderstood; the darkenss of tehir clotes and culture reflect that.  And the fact that their superiors (parents, bosses etc) justify this feeling.\n\nI am not putting down Goths.  I have been friends with many and this is what I derive; they are more cynical and pessemistic.  Instead of trying to change their situation or point of view, they strive for more proof that their lives are negative.  \n\nIt's just a countermovement, a 180 degree twist from the perky, chipper, and often sickening presence of the cheerleaders and other preppies.


does anyone know how to get into mypsace if there is a block on the computer??

Yeah.  Ask your IT department to make a special exception just for you.  Good luck with that. :)\n\nIf the site is specifically blocked at the firewall and you're at work, you are out of luck.


how do I work out how much tax I am paying and if I work more hours how much more tax I'll pay?

All tax details should be clearly printed on your pay slip.  But you can work this out yourself quite easily.  Everyone has a "Personal allowance" of £4,895 per year and is tax free.  The next £2,090 per year is taxed at 10%, then the next £30,310 at 22%.  Any annual earnings over £32,400 is taxed at 40%.  You also have National Insurance Contributions to deduct. You are allowed to deduct some items such as pension contributions etc. and other items may be added to your annual earnings such as benefits you may receive.  So your situation may be more complicated, but the above formula is a rough guide.  Most people pay basic rate tax at 22%.  If you find the above complicated, you should ask your payroll department at your work to explain it to you.  They work these things out all the time, and I am sure they would be pleased to help you, or otherwise ring your local tax office:  if you get a helpful person they may be willing to chat it through with you.


When I send an email to one address, I get the message "sender rejected." What is wrong and can I fix it?

It seems that the person you are trying to mail has blocked e-mails from you account wantedly or accidentally. Contact him/her by phone or any other means and inform him/her about this. Ask the person to correct settings. After doing so, you must be able to send mails. If the bug still continues, contact yahoo customer care group.

I'm not sure about them overcrowding so much as they overburden hospitals by not being able to pay their bills which the hospitals have to cover.  I found this from the 'source' listed website which I feel is a good example, not exactly statistics though.  (I don't have time to do that indepth research at the moment). It is an excerpt from a 2005 news story:\n\nOverburdened by the uninsured and overwhelmed by illegal immigration (search), public health care in Los Angeles is on life support.\n\nSixty percent of the county's uninsured patients are not U.S. citizens. More than half are here illegally. About 2 million undocumented aliens in Los Angeles County alone are crowding emergency rooms because they can't afford to see a doctor


Is Todd Bertuzzi getting traded from the Vancouver Canucks?

he wont be traded until after the playoffs, because the trade deadline has already passed. It is very possible that he will be traded though since he has not played the way he should and likely needs a fresh start.(it likely depends on his performance in the playoffs)

how is blackhole cre4ated in space?is travel through parallel universe possible through it?give sciente.proof?

It is not a star going supernova that creates a blackhole. Its the collapsing of its core that does. Just wanted to clear that up.\n\nA blackhole is created when a star is so massive (at least 20 times that of our Sun) that the bonds between the atoms, or molecules, are no longer strong enough to fight against the force of gravity.  This causes the star to collapse in on itself, and eventualy create a blackhole.\n\nThere are some beliefs that a blackhole could lead to a parallel universe.  But this gets a bit hazy in details, as no one knows for sure, and its currently impossible to prove or disprove.  A blackhole has an "event horizon", that once you have passed through you cannot get back out, nor can you see past it from the outside.  Because of this event horizon, it is very unlikely that you could get out of the blackhole into another universe .....\n\nHowever ..... A theoretical astronomical body called a white hole has been predicted, although its existence has not yet been proved.  It is the opposite of a blackhole, in that instead of "sucking" up all the matter in its path, it spews it out instead.  IF this exists, then there is a chance that a white-black hole pair could be a gateway to another universe, or another part of our universe.  But I can't stress enough, this is purely theoretical, and absolutely NO proof has been found yet.

how do people get to be on the city council and for how long?

It really depends on the city.\nSome cities elect their council -- others have the Mayor appoint them.\nSome cities have a citi-wide at large election for all their councils(Mobile, Alabama)\nOthers have districts(Philadelphia)\nHow long also varies greatly from 6 years in some places to as short as 1 year in some New England towns.


I'm not able to make a decision,am i a weak person?

Okay if you are not able to decide, it could mean that you had very dominating parents who controlled your childhood for you---you must have had a sheltered life upto now\n\nYOU ARE NOT WEAK---Dont get into this complex---it will only spoil your self confidence\n\nNow you have to LEARN to lead your life for yourself. Train your mind to make decisions---first small things and then the larger issues\n\nGo to the almirah and tell yourself---I am going to decide what to wear---and then take a quick decision---dont linger\n\nKeep telling yourself at least twenty times a day "I can take decisions"---these affirmations will gradually give you courage to face life like an adult \n\nAnd now read all your answers and DECIDE for yourself which is the best answer. Dont just put this question in voting. This will put a smile on your face and give you confidence\n\nBest of luck!!!


has anyone changed to the new yahoo mail, what do you think of it. Does it have any advantages over the old 1.

It has AJAX Interface and is quite awesome. It is like using outlook to check your mail, only it works inside a browser.

Smallest Insect: \n\n\n\nFairyflies are tiny wasps (family Mymaridae) that are probably the smallest of all insects.   In Dicopomorpha echmepterygis, a Costa Rican species that parasitizes the eggs of other insects, the males may be no more than 0.139 mm in length.   Their tiny bodies, neatly packaged with complete digestive, reproductive, respiratory, and circulatory systems are actually smaller than a single-celled paramecium

OCD ALERT help people pllzzzzzzz answer more more!?

Well first of all, please don't belittle yourself for what you are going through, and I have a friend who seriously battles this every day. 1) Do some research, and take a look at some professional studies, and behavior modifications that can help you. I am not someone to advocate medication, but you might want to check with a physician to see if there is a medication for anxious people that you could try (maybe with a lower anxiety level, you may find the OCD easier to handle) there are behavior techniques that you can learn, and there are groups on-line and offline that you can go and exchange information and learn from others who have similar problems. Sometimes knowing that there are other people who truly understand you can be a great help. Use the Internet to your advantage, and spend some time reading on coping with a disorder like OCD, and you don't sound mad, you sound worried, and troubled, and you sound like this is something you really face, so don't worry about average. Does anyone really know what is average anyway? I hope this helps, and I wish you the best.

Jihad versus Christian War of Good Versus Evil-What's the difference?

Jihad is similar to the Christian Crusades.

I'm a Red Sox fan too and I think we've got a very good team this year. Go Sox!!!


I purchased 2 acres &  the survey shows that the neighbors fence is 13' in on my property. How do I fix this?

If you purchased the property knowing that the survey showed the fence being over the line onto the property that you were purchasing, then you will not be able claim that you were unaware of the situation. Surveys are done for that very reason, to show where problems exist. You should have required the previous owner to deal with the issue and get it resolved before you closed the deal, but you let him off the hook. \n\nNow, its your problem, and if your neighbor will not cooperate and remove the fence, you may have to file a lawsuit, or risk losing the strip of land. If you damage the fence yourself, your neighbor may file suit against you, and you may be required to repair or replace it at your expense, if your neighbor has established rights based on the fence.

If you want to get paid for overtime you need to become a consultant \ contractor. You won't receive any benefits, paid holidays, vacation, sick leave, 401 K, etc etc. But, if you're talented then you will do better earning an hourly wage.\n\nIf you have the talent, skill set & are willing to take the risk I strongly suggest going consulting. The work is significantly more interesting & challenging.\n\nYou also stay ahead of the tech curve. You are asked to solve many different types of problems for many different types of companies. It keeps you sharp and you get to use all the latest & greatest toys. \n\nPermenant employees usually get pigeon-holed onto a project or team. They either maintain the same code for years on end or write systems using the exact same tired old methods & technologies. As a result their marketability and skil set usually stagnates. \n\nIt is a shame that it happens that way. But, it is also reality.

Want to join the Marines, any advice before going, also what is the minimum asvab score as of now?

Every one here has a dramatic opinion about the Marine Corps. Just because your a Marine Wife, Marine's brother or anything else doesn't buy you the certificate to know what it feels like. It gives you an insight, a companion's look at things. I am a Marine and a Marine Wife. I have been in long enough to know my buddy didn't get her leg severed by an IED just for colleg money. She believed in her country, the safety of her family, she believed in herself. If you believe in yourself enough to join, all the Marine Corps can do is make that stronger. If you live afraid of death then breathe on as a coward. As for me and my brothers we will live with no regrets, live history that our children will study in school, and know that we were the ones there.

The person who told you probally counted the serial numbers and/or the date.


Under perfect competition economic profits of competing companies are zero (unlike accounting profits, economic profits take into account your opportunity costs - what else could you if you were not in this business). So, companies are trying to find ways to move away from perfect competition and start receiving economic profits. How do they do that? In many different ways - patents, trademarks etc. create legal barriers for competition. Another way would be trying to position your product (through advertising, for example) and convince consumers that it is different. Finally, the can get involved into economic rent seeking - lobbying the government to limit competition through tariffs and other regulations.

what do you think of the delta pilots going on strike?

Even though they settled, if they were to strike, I would be supportive. The Government seems to be hell-bent on destroying Unions, and taking away health care. I would expect that if your boss told you he wanted you to take a wage cut, pay for all your health care, and reduce (or eliminate) your pension benefits, you would strike to if you could.

Do you think Lance Armstong has ever taken illegal performance enhancing products?

I believe he did take some performance enhancing drugs to help assist his performances. The thing that leads me that way is cancer patients take a form of EPO to boost their red blood count to help fight the disease and I would find it hard to believe that with Lance's desire's to win that he would look away when given the opportunity. Cancer did help him though, he went from a super jerk to just a plain old normal jerk.

how do u get points and lose points in fantasy baseball when the scoring is Rotisserie?

In a league using Rotisserie scoring, fantasy teams are ranked from first to last in each of several statistical categories. Each fantasy team receives points in each category based on how they rank in the league. Each team's category points are totaled to determined their overall rotisserie score. \nThe maximum number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories within a league multiplied by the number of teams in the league. Similarly, the lowest number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories multiplied by one, which is the lowest score that can be achieved in any category. \n\nIf you are in a 12-team league, the team with the most home runs will receive 12 points, the team with the second most will receive 11 points, etc. In the case of a tie, each team involved receives an average of the total points due -- i.e., in the above example, if two teams were tied for first in homers, each would receive 11.5 points [(12 + 11) / 2 = 11.5]. \n\nSo, if you were playing in a league with 12 teams and 12 scoring categories, the lowest point total possible is 12 [12 * 1 = 12] and the highest is 144 [12 * 12 = 144]. \n\nRotisserie standings reflect cumulative season stats and not any single-day accumulation of stats. Your rotisserie total may rise or fall from day-to-day depending on how your rank in each category was impacted by the addition of stats from the most recently completed day.


its a double helix.\n\n  \n 1. DNA is made up of subunits which scientists called nucleotides.\n   2. Each nucleotide is made up of a sugar, a phosphate and a base.\n   3. There are 4 different bases in a DNA molecule:\n\n          adenine (a purine) \n          cytosine (a pyrimidine) \n          guanine (a purine) \n          thymine (a pyrimidine) \n\n   4. The number of purine bases equals the number of pyrimidine bases\n   5. The number of adenine bases equals the number of thymine bases\n   6. The number of guanine bases equals the number of cytosine bases\n   7. The basic structure of the DNA molecule is helical, with the bases being stacked on top of each other


I am trying to find insurance that I can afford on my own.?

Good Luck, join the crowd of Americans with no insurance. Thank you Mr. Bush! There are state funded insurance you might qualify for, but they are usually closed to new patients. Or you can go to your city public health department, they can help you out.
