trying to find out what is detailed in selling my home as a hardship?

I found this online - may be helpful - it's from 2 years ago but should still be generally applicable.  You should talk to a realtor.  \n\nHardship Can Reduce Capital Gains Tax Liability\nby M. Anthony Carr\n\n\nIf you sold your home last year you may owe capital gains taxes if you didn't meet certain criteria. The basics of exempting home sale capital gain from taxes is two fold: \n\n\nYou owned the house for at least two years, and \n\nYou lived in the home as your principal residence for two years out of the last five. \nIf a home seller doesn't meet this ownership and use criteria, then he or she may owe taxes. Frankly, the floor of the gain when taxes begin is so high that most homeowners will never owe capital gains taxes if they meet the two above exemptions. When you consider that the average home sale in 2003 was about $170,000 across the country, then that means most gain from houses sold in the U.S. will never be taxed. For single home sellers, the gain exclusion is $250,000 and for married tax payers, it's $500,000. \n\nHowever, you could owe taxes on less than that amount of gain if you don't meet the two-year exclusion test stated above. Thus, if you bought a house in 2002 and sold it in 2003, you may owe capital gains taxes. The issue of how much you could owe, depending on when you sold the property and for what price, is a book in and of itself. Especially when you consider that the capital gains tax rates changed last year with the new rates going into effect May 6, 2003 (any taxes on gains realized before that date are based on the older, higher rates). \n\nThis column is going to deal with the exemption rules above and how you may be able to bend them or waive them altogether. \n\nThe IRS is not heartless and for some homeowners who had to sell a house in less than two years, it may be possible to claim an exclusion but at a reduced amount, if certain criteria are met. This should answer the question from many of my readers who just can't believe that they might owe taxes on the sale of their home that they lived in for just a year. Well -- you might not owe those pesky taxes, if any of the following reasons are true. \n\nIf you did not meet the ownership and use tests, but the primary reason you sold the home was: \n\n\nA change in place of employment; \n\nHealth; or \n\nUnforeseen circumstances. \nYou may be able to avoid taxes, but you'll not get the full exclusion of $250,000/$500,000. The reduced exclusion is based on a calculation that you can find in IRS Publication 523, which takes into account how long you lived in the house and how long you owned the property to come up with a reduced exclusion amount. So instead of $250,000, it might allow you to exclude $100,000, for instance. \n\nFor those wanting a reduced exclusion because of change of employment, you'll need to at least substantiate that: \n\n\nThe change occurred during the period you owned and used the property as your main home, and \n\nThe new place of employment is at least 50 miles farther from your home than the former place of employment was. \nThe IRS will accept your call for a reduced exclusion for health reasons "if your primary reason for the sale is to obtain, provide, or facilitate the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, or treatment of disease, illness, or injury of a qualified individual," according to Publication 523. Now a qualified individual doesn't have to be the head of household or spouse, it could also include any of the family members listed below: \n\n\nParent, grandparent, stepmother, stepfather; \n\nChild, grandchild, stepchild, adopted child; \n\nBrother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister; \n\nMother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-law, or daughter-in-law; \n\nUncle, aunt, nephew, or niece. \nHowever, the health card cannot be used if the sale of the house merely benefits a qualified individual's general health or we

i m an Electrical Engineer. i want io do MBA, How can i do?

Most companies will pay for there employees to go back to school. You should talk with your boss, to see if this oppertunity is available for you. You can also do it on your own through night schools at any college where your accepted. It is best though to have some time in a business field before persuing an MBA.


Clothing is a BIG business on eBay. Try shopping a discounter like TJ Maxx, Ross for Less, Marshalls or whatever it is called in your area for women’s clothes from designers like Ralph Lauren, BCBG or Tommy Hilfiger. Often times you can find, for example, a woman’s shirt that sells in the mall for $50 on sale for $10. Odds are if you put it on eBay for $25, you'd sell it. The customer thinks they saved $25 and you made $15. :) Now multiply it by 100 sales and you're in business. I do about $2K a month in sales and I profit about $500 and that’s from just working part time. It's not "easy money", you do have to work at it, but if you're willing to invest the time and effort, you can do it.

What's the biggest RISK you've ever taken?

A jerk leveled a shotgun at a child, and I stepped between the two of them. I was enraged! He told me to move, I would not budge. He lowered the shotgun, and tried to explain his actions to me. I pulled my sidearm out, and called the police. I held the jerk at gunpoint until the police arrived. No charges were filed against me, since I acted in self defense of myself, and the child, my son. I could have died, but I will fight to the very death to defend my family, and friends.

Yep, go back to court and seek a custody modification granting you sole physical and joint legal custody... You probably won't win, but it will bring the problem to the attention of the courts and a judge will explain to him that visitation is not "His privilege" it is his duty and the children's right....and lays a groundwork for future modification if he does not straighten up.\nGood luck.

How do I find a listing of companies offering free school grants without paying for a listing?

It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices."

It sounds like you truely do have OCD. I take it you are underage and cannot obtain medical treatment on your own. If your parents refuse to have you treated please go as soon as you become of age. It can be very sucessfully treated with medication and or therapy.\n\nthis is from a web site:\n\nWhat are obsessions and compulsions?\nObsessions are recurrent, persistent, unwanted ideas, thoughts, images or impulses that are experienced involuntarily, appear to be senseless, and feel out of control. They commonly intrude when you are trying to focus on thinking or doing other things. Obsessions are often accompanied by uncomfortable feelings, such as fear, disgust, doubt, or a sensation that things have to be done in a way that is "just so." \n\nSome common obsessions include: \n\nfear of danger to oneself or others \nfear of contamination \na need for exactness or order \nA compulsion is a repetitive behavior - a ritual - that you feel driven to do, and seemingly cannot stop doing. Compulsions occur as a result of obsessions and represent your attempts to manage your incessant thoughts by doing something to try to settle them. For example, if an obsessive worry is whether or not the door was locked, then a compulsive response might be to check the lock repeatedly. Some common compulsive behaviors are: \n\nexcessive checking \ncounting \nsilent repetition of words \nhand washing \ncleaning \n ordering / arranging \ntouching \npraying \nhoarding \n \n\nObsessions and compulsions range from mild checking behavior (did I lock the door?) to severe cases where you are unable to function based on compulsions having taken over normal life functioning. If we think of obsessive-compulsive traits and behaviors on a continuum of varying degrees and intensities, most people experience them with little or no negative consequence on their daily lives and relationships. \n\nWhen obsessions, compulsions, and perfectionist behaviors take up excessive time and significantly interfere with your daily life and relationships, it is time to seek help. When this occurs, the repetitive and seemingly out-of-control behaviors of obsession and compulsion may be indicative of a disorder that should be addressed with the help of a licensed professional. \n\nIf: \n\nyou feel unable to keep up with your normal appearance and behavior, \nyou can’t work, \nyou cut off connections with friends and families and are unable to socialize, or \nyou can’t take care of yourself and have trouble eating, sleeping, bathing, etc. \nit is time to seek help! \nBehavioral therapy with medications seems to offer the best long-term improvement for the treatment of OCD. Even though you probably realize that your anxiety and behaviors are excessive and irrational, changing them is not a simple matter. Most people with OCD require assistance from a qualified therapist.\n\nCognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Generally viewed as the most effective form of psychotherapy for treating most anxiety disorders, CBT involves the use of such techniques as: \nthought-stopping \ngradual challenging of irrational behaviors \nidentifying triggers and separating them from the feelings of extreme fear and the desire to avoid certain situations \nsystematic desensitization focused on the physical sensations of your anxiety \n"post-modern" therapies (such as Narrative and Solution-Focused models), which may help by placing the symptoms outside you and allowing you to tell a new story about them. \nPsychoeducation: One of the difficulties with OCD is the confusion about this disorder. It is frustrating for the individual and family members to manage a situation that is so misunderstood. An early and important part of treatment is getting a good education in what is known about this disorder. \nMedications: Certain anti-depressants (usually SSRIs) or other anti-anxiety medications have had good success with many people who suffer from OCD. It appears that these medications act

How Do you Know if a Guy That You LIke Likes You?

This is a basic question every girl and guy wants to know.  I'd be a lot earlier on the person wondering if he/she knew the answer before approaching the other to start a conversation, but nobody I know is a mind reader.  So, first notice if this guy ever looks your direction, and if so, often or very little.  Then take it from there.  If he often looks your way, he's probably interested, if he only glances your direction frequently, he's probably not.  But, if you're really interested in the guy, a lot, maybe you can get in on a conversation involving more than just you two and introduce yourself and tell the others you're interested in the subject matter.  Do you already know what "type" of girls he previously dated?  If so, this should give you a head start and compare yourself to what he might see in them.  Also, notice what he might be interested in, like sports, politics, religious discussions, current events, and brush up on the subject, then you are prepared for a discussion and then he'll at least knows you have something in common.  Good luck


I really do believe it is just a state of mind. If there is a hell, I can't imagine that there are really red devils with horns and pointy little sticks. If there is a heaven, I don't think it is some "golden city" in the sky...I have a feeling (note it is just my instinct, no biblical or other religious portrayal) that when we die, we are connected to a new form of life that will possibly be more vivid and advanced than our present form. I believe it will be our "higher self" and we will have more capabilities than we can possibly imagine here on Earth. But, who really knows....

Why do all the good things in life cost so much?

Well, that depends on your definition of "the good things in life."  The good things in life can come from just being and doing, not buying.  It's truly all a state of mind.  Being happy and content with what you have, and not always wanting more, can make a person happy.  Of course, it's human nature to always want more; and when we see so many material things in front of us all the time (magazines, tv, etc.), it's easy to get in the trap of always wanting more, more, more.  I'm not trying to be hypocritical here, because I'm the same as everyone out there, I love nice things too.  I've just found over time however, that I can be just as happy having less, as opposed to having more.  Does that make any sense?

A fresher...KNOWS ON C++.. WANT TO GET JOB... WHERE SHOULD I APPLY?

That's great that you took the initiative to learn, but what is your level of experience. Companies do not generally hire people with less than a few years experience actually coding.\n\nyour best bet is to design some programs that no one has though of before, and continue to advance. Create a website and offer the program for free. When it gets big start charging a small fee but in the mean time ask for tips..This is a proven method that has worked in the past. I'm refering to the creator of Startup Control Panel mike Lin http://mlin.net .  You could place a paypal logo right on your site to collect revenue. I have some other ideas as well, but that is for a later date. In the mean time come up with some ideas of programs that people need but dont have.\n\nGood luck, if you need help and want to shoot an idea by me visit http://www.fowlerit.com or email me shane@fowlerit.com

what ways can you tach reading to 4-8th graders?

first find out what grade level they are reading on by giving them a test i forget what it is called and then find out what they have trouble on (i.e. vowels, long e, etc.) once you have found that out then you can focus on it and in the areas where they are struggling you could come up with a game to help them out and to kinda keep it on a consistant basis.

Is Canada a strong or weak Country when it comes to it's participation in foreign affairs?

As a Canadian, I have to say, we are a strong Country.  But we are not srong because we can push over other governments, or blow people up; we are strong because of our citizens and our faith in humankind.  Canadians are educated, healthy and generally most of us are able to be not only wise but objective when making decisions that influence the world's population.  We are not oppressing other nations due to any lack of power, but because we have no desire to oppress anyone.  \n\nCanada sends aid, in many forms to countries all over the world, including the US when they require assistance. \n\nDusty made a few comments, that need a bit of clarification because I dont want him or anyone else to feel pity for us Canadians.  \n\n1  We have customs problems because your US government implemented huge taxes, legislation, and conditions during the free trade agreement from 1988-89.  Also, since 9/11 your US Governemnt stiffened customs fees for all forest products.  (I live on Vancouver Island, and we have 200 trucks leaving every day from logging camps, directly exporting those logs to your side of the border, 2hours away) and shamefully the companies were sold to US firms under trade agreements, and those raw log exports have crushed the 3 communities that depended on the manufacturing of those raw logs. aside from the fact that those logs were clear cut in the first place, going against all logging practices in other areas of Vancouver Island, in British Columbia at that! we are not a Country to be pitied.  Actually, I pity the US citizens, your Goverment does an excellent job of oppressing you, its benefactors, maintaining the widening gap between rich and a poor, a poorer job of educating and encouraging its youth. \n\n2 our dollar value may hover at $.78 or whatever, but if we actually claimed full value for our dollar, many of our citizens would be crushed by the rise of inflation, the Countries we support would not be able to receive our aid, many variables affect our dollar value, with the intention of 'the good for all' not the 'good for me' mentality that coexists next to us.

In Alaska there are 6 months of light and darkness do they have a normal day of the year?

only the exact spot at the north pole and south pole have one day per year. Alaska is not at either of these places.\n\nHowever, at the poles, the reason for the one day per year effect is that the earths rotation at these two places does not cause any crossing of the earths terminator (region darkness starts to envelop the earth) at any time of the year. \n\nAreas inside the artic and antartic circles do have extended days (weeks to months depending on how close to the pole), but only the exact spot at the poles have 6 month light/dark phases.

do you have anything on the ministry of Policy implementation in zimbabwe in particular?

It is the ministry that enforces a new direction that the government is heading.  They confiscated the white farming land and divide it for subsistance farmers/small families.  So instead of being an export nation with surplus food, it is not able to feed its own people.\n\nBlack or white, some politicians are idiots.  The white farmers were large business that produced excess food for the people of Zimbabwe and exported the rest of Africa.  Now Zimbabwe with its new policy have kicked the white farmers off their land with no compensation, and parceling out the farms in little pieces.  This is inefficient use of farm land and destroyed the once thriving farming business of Zimbabwe.

Is it legal to accept cash or gifts for a webcam show?

As long as you are not doing anything sexual, or if you are over 18 (in some states, 21) and doing something sexual, and as long as everyone filmed is engaged in consensual activity, and as long as you're not using barnyard animals or anything beyond the pale (scat, rape, etc.), it's legal.\n\nProstitution requires you to have physical contact with another person, or at least to talk about having physical contact with someone else, so it isn't prostitution.\n\nIt may be considered obscene, but again, as long as you stay away from the real hardcore stuff, you should be fine.\n\nSeveral court cases have ruled that the act of filming sexual activity makes it artisic expression, protected by the First Amendment.\n\nWhat you describe is very common on Yahoo! Messenger: Buy me something or pay me via PayPal and get a show.\n\nThat said, technically, PayPal bans the use of its services for adult-related activities. So, you may find someone who complains about your shows to PayPal [most likely, a dissatisfied customer] and, as a result, your account gets cancelled. \n\nPeople may also go to Amazon.com and complain about your shows, but I would imagine Amazon.com's attitude would be "you bought it, your problem."


Are there men out there that can treat a woman great even if she has kids from another relationship?

Why Do People Change When They Get Into New Suroundings?

People change because they're very resilient and our survival instinct helps us adapt to the surroundings we are in.  This applies to the physical environment and even the culture of the society there.

What does one do after having seen many doctors and not getting a proper diagnosis?

Georgette, There are a couple of things in your question that I don't understand. First is how do you know you haven't been properly diagnosed? I suggest that you sit down with your physician(s) and have him explain to you how and why the diagnosis was reached.\n\nSecond have you taken the medication regimine correctly and faithfully? Results are not always immediate. YOu can't abandon the medication because you don't have fast results.\n\nI'm not saying it's in your head, but some illnesses, such as depression, for example, can manifest with physical symptoms.\n\nGood luck to you

From an amateur:\n\nBernoulli's principle says that a rise (fall) in pressure in a flowing fluid must always be accompanied by a decrease (increase) in the speed, and conversely, if an increase (decrease) in , the speed of the fluid results in a decrease (increase) in the pressure. This is at the heart of a number of everyday phenomena. As a very trivial example, Bernouilli's principle is responsible for the fact that a shower curtain gets ``sucked inwards'' when the water is first turned on. What happens is that the increased water/air velocity inside the curtain (relative to the still air on the other side) causes a pressure drop. The pressure difference between the outside and inside causes a net force on the shower curtain which sucks it inward. A more useful example is provided by the functioning of a perfume bottle: squeezing the bulb over the fluid creates a low pressure area due to the higher speed of the air, which subsequently draws the fluid up.\n\nThis lowering of pressure in a constriction of a flow path may seem counterintuitive, but seems less so when you consider pressure to be energy density. In the high velocity flow through the constriction, kinetic energy must increase at the expense of pressure energy.\n\nBy measuring the pressure of the medium (by way of a barometer) we can tell a lot about it's velocity and overall energy.  This data would be useful for aeronautics (i.e. airfoil research), civil engineering (i.e. water and waste management), and meteorology (i.e. storm watching).

are there any websites that truly give away free things without asking for something in return?

I have obviously not been to every website but my rather informed answer is NO. Most websites need you to fill out surveys, click ads, refer more people, or something to generate revenue. Giving away things for free is a good way to go broke. All the free xbox/ipod/ps3/etc. sites and things use similar methods. Some sites just get users so they can sell/trade email addresses to other merchants. In the end the website generally has to have some way to make money out of the situation. If you can find a site that sends you something for free, you will more than likely not want what you get. \nIt goes back to a few quotes: \n"You get what you pay [work] for" \n"Nothing ventured, nothing gained"


You may need to look at why you don't.

Where online can I find a comprehensive, nonbiased and convincing arguement against the valitity of the Bible?

Honestly, you can't have those kinds debates with Christians. When it comes down to a debate on Faith Vs Reason people who value logic and reason and people who value faith (be they Christians or Muslims or what have you) have *very little* common ground to fight over. \n\nIt's two different world views. You can't make them understand. They won't listen.\n\nYou can point out all the errors and inconsistencies in the bible until you are blue in the faith (heee). You won't touch their belief, because their belief has absolutely nothing to do with reason or truth.


Jewish understanding of the ten commandments\n\nSignificance of the decalogue\nAccording the Jewish understandings, the Torah includes 613 commandments, of which those listed in the decalogue count for ten. Most authorities thus do not automatically ascribe to these ten commandments any greater significance in observance, or any special status, as compared to the remainder of the canon of Jewish law. Indeed, when undue emphasis was being placed on them, daily communal recitation of them was discontinued (Talmud, tractate Berachot 12a). The Jewish tradition does, however, recognize these "ten commandments" as the ideological basis for the rest of the commandments; a number of works (starting with Rabbi Saadia Gaon) have made groupings of the commandments according to their links with the Ten Commandments.\n\nTraditional Jewish belief is that these commandments, among the 613, apply solely to the Jewish people, and that the laws incumbent on the rest of humanity are outlined in the seven Noahide Laws. In the era of the Sanhedrin, transgressing any one of these theoretically carried the death penalty; though this was rarely enforced due to a large number of stringent evidentiary requirements imposed by the oral law.\n\nDivision and interpretation\n\n"I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt..." \nThis commandment is to believe in the existence of God, that God exists for all time, that God is the sole creator of all that exists, that God determines the course of events in this world. \n"You shall have no other gods besides Me... Do not make a sculpted image or any likeness of what is in the heavens above..." \nOne is required to believe in God and God alone. This prohibits belief in or worship of any additional deities, gods, spirits or incarnations. To deny the uniqueness of God, is to deny all that is written in the Torah. It is also a prohibition against making or possessing objects that one or other may bow down to or serve, including any artistic representations of God or symbols thereof, including crucifixes, or any sulpture of a human being. One must not bow down to or serve any being or object but God. \n"You shalt not swear falsely by the name of the Lord..." \nThis commandment is to never take the name of God in a vain oath. This includes four types of prohibited oaths: an oath affirming as true a matter one knows to be false, an oath that affirms the patently obvious, an oath denying the truth of a matter one knows to be true, and an oath to perform an act that is beyond one's capabilities. \n"Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy" \nOne is to declare of the greatness and the holiness of the Sabbath, and observe each Sabbath day, as God defined for the Jews during the Exodus. Each day of the Exodus, God provided food to the Jews to collect except on the Sabbath. Instead a double portion was provided the day before the Sabbath. One is enjoined from performing work on the Sabbath. One may not change the day of the Sabbath. \n"Honor your father and your mother..." \nThe obligation to honor one's parents is an obligation that one owes to God and fulfills this obligation through one's actions towards one's parents. This commandment is an interesting development when compared to other laws of the Ancient East (for instance, the Code of Hammurabi) that do not call for equal respect of the father and the mother. Jewish sages note that the 5th commandment, on the border between commandments on relationship with God and those between humankind, is to "Honor your father and your mother...", and draw lessons from this that a person should respect parents (and by implication, elders) only somewhat less than one would God himself, and that parents should be moral guidance to a person as God is to society. \n"You shall not murder" \nThe Hebrew word ratsach, used in this commandment, is close to the word murder; k


My children are in danger by their father, I tried police and dcfs, who can I get to listen to me?

Keep calling the police and department of child and family services.  If you have any contact at all with your children you need to impress upon them that if daddy is abusing them then they should speak up and not to be afraid of what he might do if they do.\n\nContact safeharbor or a victim's assistance program for other tips.  If he is abusing the children and dcfs and the police refuse to do anything about it their butts are going to get grilled if anything does happen.  Talk to a supervisor at dcfs or a sgt or lt at the police station.\n\nKeep written logs of anything you see or anything your children tell you with exact dates and times.  Follow your husband.  If he ever drinks to excess and drives with the children in the car he is guilty of child endangerment.\n\nAll you can do is remain vigilant.  Of course you're a parent and with that goes certain emotions and such, and while I do not condone the behavior, if you feel your husband is really giving these kids some harm and the authorities blatantly refuse to do anything you may think about taking them.  But again that is extreme and illegal, and when/if the authorities find you you'll never get to see your kids again.

How does marital residence, inheritance, and religious law affect the status of women in different cultures?

Its a tough question and does not have single answer to cover it all. You can try doing search using following keywords, "migration law" "residency law" "woman + "residency law"".\n\nEach country have different laws set for residency, inheritance and rights, mostly in Asia, woman are not quiet protected.\n\nAn example in Taiwan, foreign woman married to local man, must have at least accumulated 7 years of residency in order to be eligible for permanent residency. Also it says when there is a divorce proceeding, court rule in favor of the bread winner or the spouse who earn most and with most assets which usually are the men, while on inheritance, the law is unbias on this part.\n\nWhile in Philippines, woman are protected by the law from abuse, when there is a marital separation problem, usually the mother gets the custody of the child regardless of income.\n\nOn religious law, Philippine is predominantly Catholic, which does not have problem on woman issue, while Taiwan, Thailand, Korea are more buddhist that religion does not get involve in legal and state matter, Indonesia and Malaysia are muslim country, you may have to do some more research on this.

This should fix your problem


Why are there so many non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs?

NSAIDS each have the same basic property- inhibiting COX 1 and COX 2. However, people do respond to each one differently.  Some people with arthiritis swear by alieve, while others prefer Advil.  Like everything else, it is trial and error.  Each drug has a slightly different chemical form, which is why they are marketed under different names.  it is basically trial and error to find which NSAID is right for you. However, too much NSAID usage can cause GI upset/bleeding.  That is the side effect which everyone fears.  Use them sparingly especially with a prior history of ulcers.


how am i able to know if he really loves me?

like is not the same as love.. like is conditional.. such as he likes you because u are this and that.. but to love is different, it is unconditional. he will love you despite of who you are. \n\namerican context... definitely not the same. to say "i love you" for americans is scary. u don't just say it unless you really mean it. they only say i love you if they are ready to commit..\n\nbut the bottom line is this.. if he doesn't say it maybe he's not good at saying it... if he shows it best? WHY NOT?

ETYMOLOGY:\nSwedish, from Old Norse umbodhsmadhr, deputy, plenipotentiary : umbodh, commission ( um, about; see ambhi in Indo-European roots + bodh, command; see bheudh- in Indo-European roots) + madhr, man; see man- 1 in Indo-European roots\n\nOTHER FORMS:\nombudsman·ship (Noun)\n\nWORD HISTORY:\nThe word ombudsman has one familiar element, man, but it is difficult to think of what ombuds could mean. Ombudsman is from Swedish, a Germanic language in the same family as English, and man in Swedish corresponds to our word man. Ombud means "commissioner, agent," coming from Old Norse umbodh, "charge, commission, administration by a delegacy," umbodh being made up of um, "regarding," and bodh, "command." In Old Norse an umbodhsmadhr was a "trusty manager, commissary." In Swedish an ombudsman was a deputy who looked after the interests and legal affairs of a group such as a trade union or business. In 1809 the office of riksdagens justitieombudsman was created to act as an agent of justice, that is, to see after the interests of justice in affairs between the government and its citizens. This office of ombudsman and the word ombudsman have been adopted elsewhere, as in individual states in the United States. The term has also been expanded in sense to include people who perform the same function for business corporations or newspapers.


why only 25% of companies nationwide sell product via the internet?

Because most of what's sold is impractical to ship direct.  A company that tried to sell dog food over the Internet a few years ago went out of business - the cost of shipping the dog food was more than the dog food itself.  They might as well have called themselves Cement.com.


can us enlisted personnel have extramarital affairs with civilians?

I do not think so, unless they  had left the base to meet with your wife instead of performing their duties.\nOnce they are off duty they can somewhat do what they want.\nIf they want to date someone they can, or sadly in your case be with a married woman. \nYou could report this to his CO, not sure if it will do any good, maybe his CO will have him ordered to stay on the military base

can any one explain "free radical substitution" for AS chemistry?

Ok, now first you must know that 'free radicals' are species with a unpaired electron(resulting from homolytic and heterolytic fission), which makes them very unstable and reactive.\nWhen you term a reaction as 'free radical substitution', it means an atom-or group of atoms-in a molecule is being replaced by a free radical.\n\nConsider the reaction between methane (CH4) and Chlorine (Cl): The Cl-Cl bond breaks, resulting in free radicals of Cl- ions; one of the H atoms in CH4 is then replaced by a Cl- ion, hence forming CH3Cl and HCl. Since the free radical Cl- has replaced the H atom, this reaction is termed a free radical substitution reaction.\n\nCH4 + Cl2 ----> CH3Cl + HCl

There is no celebrity named Kevin Fowler coming up on IMDB.


are there time contraints on what time of day you can serve someone?

Yes there is, but it depends on the charges and, what court. Say city court with a misdemeanor, 2 years, and they will want it off the docket. If it's felony it can stay there for ever. They also have the right to recharge you at anytime, on any offense. This could be just an old warrant, but most of the time they wont have any proof anymore; because it would be to old, and they will call it hear-say. I hope this helps you.

The one word answer is, spin. In fact, in 1671 Sir Isaac Newton noted how the flight of a tennis ball was exaggerated by spin. However, there is more to the curve that just that. The curve of a spinning ball, be that of a tennis ball, baseball, golf-ball, or even a cannon ball is due to a phenomenon coined the “Magnus Effect”. In 1877, Lord Rayleigh credited Magnus with the first “true explanation” of the effect.\n\nThe explanation of the Magnus Effect is a relatively simple exercise in aerodynamics and conservation of momentum. When any object is moving through a fluid, such as air, its surface interacts with a thin layer of air known as the boundary layer. In the case of the sphere or ball, the boundary layer separates from the surface, creating a wake or low-pressure region behind the ball. The front-to-back pressure difference creates a backward force on the ball, which slows its forward motion. This is the normal air resistance, or aerodynamic drag, that acts on every object. However, if the ball is spinning as it moves, the boundary layers separates at different points on opposite sides of the ball — further upstream on the side of the ball that is turning into the airflow, and further downstream on the side turning with the airflow.\n\nConsequently, the air flowing around the ball is deflected slightly sideways, resulting in an asymmetrical wake behind the ball. If it is assumed that the air in the wake has “left” momentum, for momentum to be conserved the ball must possess an equal but opposite or “right” momentum. Hence a sideways deflection in the trajectory occurs. The magnitude and direction of this resulting momentum vector and its corresponding Magnus force is directly dependent on the velocity vector of the ball with respect to the air, angular velocity vector of the ball, surface roughness, cross-sectional ball area, and air density. Examining each of these items and their influence on the magnitude and direction of the curve we see that:\n\n1.Velocity and angular velocity: Primarily, these vectors define the direction the ball curves, which is mutually perpendicular to both vectors (see: Alaways & Hubbard). Secondly, spin rate has a one-to-one correspondence with the curve’s magnitude, the higher the spin rate the greater the curve. Finally, the ball speed has an inverse proportional relationship to the curve, the faster the pitch the smaller the curve.\n\n2.Surface roughness and cross-sectional area: These factors influence the curve by being the means by which the air is deflected. In essence the seams on the ball grab the air and redirect it. Imagine the paddles on a paddle wheel as it moves through water, the larger the paddles the bigger the splash. An increased ball cross-sectional area allows for more air to be deflected by having more surface area in contact with the air and therefore more air available to redirect.\n\n3.Air density: We all have heard that baseballs curve more at sea level than in the Rocky Mountains. This is due to increased air density at sea level resulting in increase momentum for equal volumes of redirected air. Since momentum is conserved the ball’s momentum goes up with the air’s momentum resulting in larger curves at lower elevations.

How many medications do I have to hit n miss before I find the right one?

it took me over a year to find the right drug combo.  I guess I'm lucky there...it felt like forever to me!\n\nI think you should talk to your doctor- tell him/her exactly what you said here.  See if they have solutions and work together to make a plan for your treatment.  It will be good to have a plan with a few steps to assess along the way.  Also, think about adding therapy to your treatment.  often you need this in conjunction with medications- even if you've tried, never needed, or "graduated" from therapy in the past- it could help alot with your CURRENT situation.   \n\nyou might also consider exercise or yoga- sometimes these activities will give you a little extra boost of energy to feel a little better.


my fiance is living in jamaica if i use a fiance visa how long would it take to get him up here?

At the short-end, six months. This also depends upon how busy your local INS (Department of Homeland Security) is. If you're in Los Angeles, for example, it could feasibly take YEARS for your case to come up.\n\nThe rules for fiance visas are very particular and a slip-up in filing could really be a set back.\n\nSome lawyers will handle these issues for around $1000 or so. But you also get what you pay for in legal council, just like everything else.\n\nYou CAN do it yourself...a good start would be a major bookstore and getting a how-to book on immigration and all of it's complexities.


The principle of compounds having color can be traced with the number of conjugated double bonds of the compound. Dibenzalacetone contains many alternating double bonds which makes it colored. When light excites the double bonds, the electrons goes up from low electronic energy level to a higher level. The increase in conjugation makes it easier for electrons to jump to a higher energy level hence longer wavelength of light to be absorbed and transmitted

The way that works 100% of the time for me is:\nTake in all the air you can into your lungs and hold it while taking a small glass of water and drinking it with the smallest gulps you can. Do this until you can't hold your breath any longer. Works first try for me. The constant swallowing action distracts your esophagus and diaphragm long enough to make it forget about the hiccups.


irritable bowel syndrome related arthritis?

My girlfriend has the symptoms of both IBS and arthritis and found they had a comon cause: hypothyroidism. You might want to have some bloodwork done to see how active your thyroid is. She now takes synthroid and has changed her diet to exclude or limit soy, peanuts, crucifers (broccoli, cabbage) and other foods that can affect thyroid function. In people with a normal thyroid function, these foods don't matter much, but if your thyroid is underactive, they can exacerbate the symptoms.\nHope this helps.

personally, i thought we never should have went in. i never believed the reason for going was "weapons of mass destruction".  since iraq was under a no fly zone and we had spy satellites flying over head .. i never believed it was even remotely possible for iraq to be a threat to us.[ we never invaded russia, and they were a real threat] . iraq could barely reach isreal w/ some old russian rockets during the first gulf war. cheyney and his puppet bush just wanted to  position the cronies in business power in there. they continue to compound their lies.. and as free americans it is all our fault for being so lazy as to allow these kind of people to get anywhere near the controls. that said we broke iraq and now we must fix it . stay till the last drop of american blood and spend every last  american dollar until that country is rebuilt and safe .and then we should get out of their lives completely , no doing business no trade no oil... if we are to maintain any pride or dignity... this has been utterly shame full.. GOD help us."red wing nutso"  how appropriate is that name?  what are you doing here why arent  you in iraq supporting your beliefs[ and dont tell me you've been, you talk like a boy] first off its their oil if they want to sell it @ $1,000 a drop thats up to them... would you go to your gas station and kill someone for a fill up?[ well not you , i'm sure you dont have the stones]... id rather walk than have someone die for oil...but thats just me, i know many americans put a greater value on their "toys" than they do they well being of their nieghbors. we better start thinking about what makes america great , our toys or our morals. you know"uniquels" ive often believed that , and if bush would have said that right off i would have respected him, cause i'd have done the same for my dad."earl" if you believe that, pick up a gun, show me something... guess not huh? just another coward w/ a big mouth!


is diet soda bad for your teeth in the same way that regular soda is?

Actually, it is slightly better. The acidity of both does eat away at the enamel on your teeth. But, the sugar in regular soda also allows the bacteria in your mouth to have a field day with your teeth. You should always drink soda through a straw. That way it does not come into nearly as much contact with your teeth and gums.

Don't you think Don Rumsfeld should change his name to  Von Rumsveld, what with him being a nazi...?

I like to imagine him in a General Staff uniform standing next to Kietel breifing Der Chimp on how well our Shock and Awe campaign went.  I do see this man as a war crimnal.\nAnd for Prayfor... I can think of nothing better to do than to stay here in our beutiful proud shores and HOLD OUR GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE for betraying us at home and abroad.\n\ndon't you just love these " love-it-or-leave-it " Americans?\nHowever she is entitled to her opinion.

Do you think that there should be great Americans other than Presidents on currency?

Two come to mind quickly.\n\nClara Barton- she did heroic work with her life, the heart of a lion that woman and she established the Red Cross.\n\nMartin Luther King Jr.- always admired him. I think he stands for every American's American Dream....one of a better life.\n\nThe idea is new so I  would go with a quarter on both.


You can think of him, but do you still love him badly? Because you shouldn't as you're already in another relationship. It's not right not being loyal to your present bf. If you really want to find him, and you succeed, just be friends. Thrust me, things will get uglier if you go overboard.

What was Coyote’s most genius way to trap the Road Runner?

I guess none of you ever saw the one where he finally caught it!\n\nThe coyote and road runner are running and they enter this pipe that gradually get smaller and smaller. They come out the far end only a few inches tall. The Coyote notices the giant cactus and so forth and stops. He whistles, the RR stops. Coyote waves hand as though to say "Let's go back!" RR runs past coyote heading for the pipe, and the coyote follows. So they go back through the pipe, and the RR comes out at normal size, but the coyote remains tiny. RR notices and stops running. Coyote jumps over the huge toes or RR, continuing to run, then stops, runs back and grabs RR around the ankle. Coyote grins as he puts on a bib and take out a fork an knife. But just before he eats, he looks up.\nRR bends his skyscraper tall neck down and makes his "beep-beep!" sound, but it come out as "HONK-HONK! because of his gigantic size compared to the Coyote.\nCoyote lets the utensils drop form his hands.\nHe looks at the viewer and holds up one sign saying, "Okay folks, you guys always wanted me to catch him, right?"\nThen he holds up a second sign that reads, "NOW what do I do with him?"\nThe end.\n\nBest Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote cartoon ever!

is $285 dollars a week ok for as a warehouse?

It depends on your location, cost of living, taxes,etc.....but that averages out to be $9.00 an hour so in my opinion i think this is a good wage....and with the job outlook depending on where you are....i'd take it because jobs will continue to decline in the future....I would take the job and be content with your pay until something better comes along!\n\nMinimum wage here is $5.15 so I think the answer to your question would be "OK"

The acceptance of Hamas by the West----what exactly is the barrier?

I think the governments of the West have made it very clear what the barrier is.  Hamas was renounce terrorism and its call for the destruction of Israel.  I think you call it a "Jew lobby" in our senate, but it's not because it's a Jewish state or Israel, it's because Hamas is calling for the destruction of another country.  That does not ever sit well with the United States.  If Hamas will renounce its former violence and become a legitimate POLITICAL party that will seek change through PEACEFUL and POLITICAL methods, then it will be recognized by the West as a legitimate government.  It will finally get the recognition by the world that it has craved.   Surely the leaders of Hamas are intelligent enough to see that.  Your prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, taught peace, not violence.  I see the election of Hamas in Palestine to be a golden opportunity for the leadership of Hamas.  I hope they do not do anything foolish that would ruin their chances of establishing a legitimate government.

discuss the role of the kidney in maintaining acid-base balance.?

I am not an expert on this topic so here is a quotation:\n"Your body's cells use chemical reactions to carry out tasks such as turning food into energy and repairing tissue. These chemical reactions generate acids. But too much acid in the blood—acidosis—can disturb many bodily functions. Healthy kidneys help maintain acid-base balance by excreting acids into the urine and returning bicarbonate—an alkaline, or base, substance—to the blood. This "reclaimed" bicarbonate neutralizes much of the acid that is created when food is broken down in the body. \n\nRenal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a disease that occurs when the kidneys fail to excrete acids into the urine, which causes a person's blood to remain too acidic. Without proper treatment, chronic acidity of the blood leads to growth retardation, kidney stones, bone disease, and progressive renal failure"

what and how to check when buying used G-3 rifle.?

I can't imagine why you'd want to buy a G3 rifle (you mean HK G3, I assume). This is a real combat rifle, not something to shoot birds with. Anyway, it is exceptionally powerful and very reliable. It can easily penetrate bullet-proof vests and anything that is not formally qualified as "light armor". \n\nI think you should inspect the moving parts of the weapon, see if there rust anywhere, if the weapon was being regularly oiled. Arming and loading should be easy and smooth. You should also check to see that the muzzle is clean and that it shoots straight (you will need equipment and a firing range to do this, unless of course you are a pro shooter). \n\nI'm not a weapons expert but I have used a G3 for a brief period in the army, so I suppose my experience counts for something.

can an african american man father a child with straight hair?

Yes it is. You'd be surprised at the recessive genes  a lot of black  folks have, so they may just look like the average person of African decent but they may have a lot of other genes from other groups dormant in their genetic code. So it is entirely possible that the child could have straight hair.

How do I remove http: addresses from my computer?

I gather that your question is how to remove the http: addresses that appear in your history.

Does anyone know were i can get a cool Heart-a-gram layout for myspace???

well my opinion would be to make your own. find an image on google that you like, i dont know what you are looking for. and then right click it and save the picture. then go to photobucket.com and upload the image there then go to http://www.mygen.co.uk/ and when it asks for a picture url, go to photobucket and copy the URL box right under the picture. and create a layout. my suggestion is that you find an image that would look good tiled OR find an image that would look good centered/ full screened. customized all you want!


where can I find public domain microscopy images?

If you e-mail them for permission, it's very unlikely they say no. \n\n4. ask people doing research using microscopical techniques directly either at your university (if you teach there) or at the university closest to your location.

Also, I don't think garter snakes have fangs.


after having a hysterectomy, i now discharge alot, went to the doc, i have no infections...is this normal?

how long ago was the hysterectomy done? (and if you don't mind me asking, did they remove the ovaries too or not?)\n\nthe reason for my questions is:\na) these things take a while to heal. my mom had one 6 years ago, it took her a couple years to completely feel normal again, and for the scar to heal. and \nb) because whatever they did can disrupt or change your body hormonal balance causing the discharge and stuff.\n\ni think the pain may just be scar tissue that attached funny inside of you. massage, accupuncture or cortisone shots could help that. (depending on the severity and your degree of discomfort...)

Retiring soon, have a 20 yr old, 4 bdrm hs, needs repairs (roof, carpet, etc.) Shld I fix up or sell as is.?

Make all needed repairs unless you want the house to be regarded as a fixer-upper. I'm not referring to cosmetic updates--just items in need of repair. Anything that's obviously broken gives potential buyers a reason to offer you a lower price, especially if it's one of several repair hot spots that worry buyers the most. Like the roof, mold and mildew, electrical system pipes and drainage.

how do you help a sociopath?   what needs does a sociopath have?

Once upon a time, there was a navajo indian girl who was picking up firewood in the forest. As she was walking back home, she came upon a poisonous snake that lay frozen and injured in the snow. The maiden wasn't sure if she should take the risk of taking the snake in, but after thinking for a moment, she decided to take the snake home and nurse it back to health. As the days passed, the snake recovered, and the day came when the snake was able to go back out into the wild.  As the snake made its way out the door,  the snake passed the girl and bit her in the heart. As the girl lay dying, she asked the snake, "How could you do this to me? Why have you done this to me?" To which the snake replied, "You knew I was a snake."


Check out your local government website and look for parks and rec.  I just did this to find local biking trails in our area, but you should be able to find walking trails in your area.  Print up some fliers to organize a meeting.  Then, go to several of the trails in your area and pass them out.  You could also create your own yahoo group and put that on the flier as well.  Just start by passing out fliers asking people to come to an informational meeting to discuss.  People don't really like being harassed too much, so a flier with a website or an email address is better than asking for names and phone numbers.

I have an eyelash in my eye. Can't see it. Any ideas for removing it. Have tried rinsing eye.?

If you can´t see it its probably not there anymore. Sometimes, eyelashes leave little lacerations or samll injuries in the surface of the eye and we feel as if they were still there.  Look carefully on a well lit mirror and if you don´t find it... chances are its not there anymore.  Also you can look for it with your eyes closed and feel it with the tip of your fingers.  if the sensation stays on one spot, its because of laceration.


how do I overcome pathetic shyness with a girl that I really like...?

you know what, you only live once. just go talk to her. to take some of the pressure off, just talk about normal things like a television program you watched, a favorite video, song or book, sports... if you can find out something she's interested in, that could be a good topic as well. once you get comfortable talking about just everyday things, then you can start venturing into letting her know that you like her.

I saw an author on Sunday morning TV talking about eliminating white flower from diet. some thing about renew?

I know there's a lot of talk about "eliminating white foods" and supposedly Oprah's done it. You stop eating anything white: pasta, potatoes, flour, sugar, rice, bread.  Basically it's almost like a low-carb diet.\nI thought it was just a word of mouth thing.


If it looks like the gum is infected (white bumps and/or puss) you need to get it to the vet immediately, if not keep an eye on it to make sure that doesn't come later on. But if it looks good for about 3 wks or so, I wouldn't worry about it.

Who is it harder on to fit in? Girls? Boys?

How delightful that you are "odd." That is so much more interesting than being one of the sheep, and don't ever forget that. In fact, relish the fact that you are different. \n\nAs for fitting in, it's just as hard on both sexes. I used to think (when I was young) that it was harder on girls, but I've talked to my husband about his teens and I see my grandson. Kids can be really cruel at times. They don't think of themselves as being cruel. They think it's justified because the other person isn't in their little clique, but the truth is, fitting in isn't all it's cracked up to be. Those same kids that put down others and roll their eyes and make fun of kids are really so insecure themselves that the only way they can build themselves up is to put someone else down.\n\nSo, instead of worrying about fitting in, find things you love to do. In doing those things, you will meet like-minded people who are interesting and intelligent and fun, just like you. And guess what...you will fit in with them and they are the ones that will become the kind of friends that are worth having.\n\nGood luck.

what qualifications do you need to be a league referee?

I remember being a referee for soccer and one of the qualifications was you have to be older that fifthteen and you had to at least play soccer for a couple of years and the league gives you a test on your skills on coping with people ranging from little kids to teenagers so it takes a little time before you know that you are going to be a referee.


Can space stations create their own water and oxygen or will they have to be supplied from earth indefinitely?

It is quite possible to recycle oxygen and water for a station like the ISS. Great progress is being done in water recycling, they reuse the water we exhale and are working on reusing the water in urine. \n\nThe oxygen is trickier. The actual process is well known but the reactors needed are too energy hungry and may also be dangerous: they produce methane gas as an intermediate product. Using the moon and doing the work there would make more sense. There isn´t a lot of water there but oxygen is plentyful. It is the main component of lunar soil. Shipping all the waste from the ISS to the moon instead of dumping it and shipping oxygen and fresh water back makes more economic sense than permanently launch it from earth. \n\nThe waste would basically be sewage, CO2 (bound to lithiumhydroxide) and various wastes like plastic containers and food waste. As much water as possible would have been extracted from the waste. Water is mostly oxygen by weight and since there is plenty of oxygen it is a waste of energy. On the moon the plastic containers are cracked, turned into carbon and hydrogen as far as possible. Then you take lunar minerals like ilmenite (a slightly ferromagnetic iron-titanium oxide) and run a stream of hydrogen through it. Water is the result as the hydrogen reacts with oxygen in the mineral. You split the water into pure oxygen and hydrogen. You run the hydrogen through the mineral to get more water while you use the pure oxygen to incinerate all the other waste. You get even more co2 and water from this, which you use to extract more oxygen, and eventually you will end up with lots of oxygen and also metals like steel and titanium. (Biological processes aren´t used in the beginning as they are less reliant and predictable in space. All exhaust and ashes from the incineration is kept and stored as it will be used when biological waste digestors and food production are ready to be put into use.) You ship the oxygen to the ISS (along with fresh lithiumhydroxide canisters) to be turned into more carbon dioxide. We don´t want to ship CO2 (the oxygen) so a process where is reacts with hydrogen can be used. You get methane and water. The water is used aboard while the methane is shipped to the moon along with the other waste. By doing this the moon will become enriched with the volatiles (hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon) that are missing today.
