Do you have to have special software to impose one picture over another in the email?


it doesnt matter how long you have been singing. the voice has a natural limit that it can go. wich means that no matter how much you try to expand your range you cant do more than what your vocal cords will allow  you. im a girl and most of the male singers i no are bass or baritone...so i cant really tell you how to use falsetto


There are three ways a computer can catch an error in a compiled program:\n\nCompile time is when a line in the program cannot be translated into machine language.\n\nLink time is when the machine language segments cannot be properly combined.\n\nRun time is when the error is so subtle that the entire machine language program could be built without the error in a line being discovered until it is actually performed.\n\nIf you get a run time error in a program someone else compiled, there is no way to fix it except by getting an update or patch. There is also little hope of finding out what caused the error.


Is there a crime if one doesn't take care of their American Flag?

well, a debate from 1969. how retro!\n\nI do know one thing, the flag is NEVER supposed to be in the dark! If you have an American flag on a flag pole, it must be lit at night. Yup, it's true!\n-------------------------------------------\nProperly Display Our Flag \n\nThere is a right way and a wrong way to display the flag.  The American flag should be held in the highest of regards. It represents our nation and the many people who gave their lives for our country and our flag. Here are the basics on displaying  the American flag: \n\n\nThe flag is normally flown from sunrise to sunset. \nIn the morning, raise the flag briskly. At sunset, lower it slowly. Always, raise and lower it ceremoniously. \nThe flag should not be flown at night without a light on it. \nThe flag should not be flown in the rain or inclement weather. \nAfter a tragedy or death, the flag is flown at half staff for 30 days. It's  called "half staff" on land ,and "half mast" on a ship. \nWhen flown vertically on a pole, the stars and blue field , or "union", is at the top and at the end of the pole (away from your house). \nThe American flag is always flown at the top of the pole. Your state flag and other flags fly below it. \nThe union is always on top. When displayed in print, the stars and blue field are always on the left. \nNever let your flag touch the ground, never...period. \nFold your flag when storing. Don't just stuff it in a drawer or box. \n When your flag is old and has seen  better days, it is time to retire it. Old flags should be burned or buried. Please do not throw it in the trash. \nDid you Know? There is a very special ceremony for retiring the flag by burning it. It is a ceremony everyone should see.Your local Boy Scout group knows the proper ceremony and performs it on a regular basis. If you have an old flag, give it to them. And, attend the ceremony.  \n---------------------------------------------\nSTANDARDS of RESPECT\nThe Flag Code, which formalizes and unifies the traditional ways in which we give respect to the flag, also contains specific instructions on how the flag is not to be used. They are: \n\nThe flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal. \nThe flag should not be used as a drapery, or for covering a speakers desk, draping a platform, or for any decoration in general. Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for these purposes. The blue stripe of the bunting should be on the top. \nThe flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard \nThe flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organizations. \nThe flag should never have placed on it, or attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind. \nThe flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything. \nWhen the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms. To store the flag it should be folded neatly and ceremoniously. \n\nThe flag should be cleaned and mended when necessary. \n\nWhen a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner.


What is polio ? Is there a vaccines ? Symptons of Polio?

Polio is a virus known as Poliomyelitis it can cause paralysis. Symptoms are vomiting, fatigue, headache, pain and stiff ness. The vaccine which was discoverd by Jonas Salk was released in 1954 putting an end to the polio epidemic. Check your vaccine records because you probably recieved it as a baby.


How is Acreage calculated? Is elevation a factor?

Acre is a measurement of area; therefore it is calculated by multiplying length with breadth. Thus, the word square will always be used. Such as square meter, square yards square inches and square kilometers etc.\nWhile calculating an area of a given place elevation is not taken in account. \nNow, the following table will help you to understand The ACRE you have in mind.\ni) 144 inches = 1 square foot= 12inches multiplied by 12 inches.\nii) 9 square feet = 1 square yard = 3feet multiplied by 3feet. (3feet = 1yard).\niii) 4840 square yards = 1 Acre.Since acre it self is an area measurement only; the word squre is not used

Ampacity: Refers to the how much current a wire can safely carry. For example, a 12 gauge electrical copper wire can safely carry up to 20 amps.\n\nminimum ampacity is not really something that makes sense unless you are talking about the lowest safe maximum and calling that minimum. This might arise from various ways to calculate the safe maximum and then having to use the lowest one. \n\nThe definition above on the link in the sources is not always true for example. If a 12 gauge wire is used in a conduit with a bunch of others and the fill ratio (how much air versus how much wire) of that conduit is greater than the maximum allowed then the current limits on the wires are reduced based upon the amount the conduit is overfilled. Wires in high temperature environments can be a reason to derate them as well.

Steps:\n1.  Prepare for preseason training. This two-week period can be torture for the unprepared player - or it can be manageable for the physically fit one.\n \n2.  Enter freshman year in good shape. A player who does this is in the minority and has a tremendous advantage.\n \n3.  Become familiar with the program. Go to the high school training and observe the team.\n \n4.  Attend freshman, JV and varsity high school soccer games in the fall of 8th grade to understand the level of play.\n \n5.  Introduce yourself to the high school coach and tell the coach you look forward to playing.\n \n6.  Ask the high school coach or trainer how to best prepare for the season.\n \n7.  Seek out players already on the team for advice and support.\n \n \nTips:\nExpect a big commitment. High school soccer goes beyond many earlier programs. You can expect to play two or three games a week.\n \nPrepare for lots of practice. Practice may be held on every non-game day.\n \nStrike a balance. Learn early on how to juggle academics with soccer.\n \nBrace yourself for the possibility of being cut from the team - something that doesn't often happen in earlier years.

I need to make bachelor party invitations but can't find any ideas. Looked on the internet 5 days now.?

How much are you willing to spend? Because you can get some great ones made at speciality stores like paperplum,or other places that just specialize in invitations. And they can put whatever you want on them and pick a theme. I had some great ones done for my cousin baby shower they were awesome, Nothing like you ever seen it was a his and hers baby shower dinner for 50 people and they had their names on them and the babys name because they knew what they were having with a great saying. So go from there Good Luck

Instantaneous speed, as the name indicates, is measured at a particular instant of time. From a math standpoint, by calculating the first derivative of the displacement function, you can use the result to calculate the speed at any instant of time. In other words, the instantaneous slope of the displacement function is equal to the instantaneous speed.\n\nIf you look at graph of a moving object (displacement vs. time), if you see a steep slope, this means that the object's speed is fast relative to a curve with a moment of shallow slope. How much distance are you moving per unit of time? The more distance you move, the faster your speed. Decrease that unit of time to almost 0, and you'll get instantaneous speed.

If global warming causes the ice caps to melt...?

Yes, the levels will rise.\nIce caps cover land area. If the ice from land melts and flows to oceans, the sea levels will definitely rise as the amount of water in the sea clearly will increase. \n\nHowever, the scenario will be different if we are talking about the melting of ice-bergs already floating in the oceans. The melting of the icebergs floating in the oceans\nwill cause a decrease in the sea level as ice is rarer than water (i.e. water is denser than ice). \n\n\n#EDIT\nBut, I don't think that really is the case. Here is some facts I found while thinking about the question itself and going through a Physics Textbook-\n\nSure the volume decreases while ice caps melt but this decrease in volume is outweighed by the increse in the volume of ocean water due to the expansion from the heat it absorbs.\nDue to global warming, the heat in melted ice & ocean water increases drastically! This leads to an increase in their volume and causes a rise in sea level.

Matt and Bert are both correct but there are so many factors.  Some kinds of cancer seems to "run" in families.  Recent things I've read indicate that if all men lived to be 80 years old almost all of them would have prostate cancer.  Many kinds of cancer seem to be affected by poor diet, though not directly caused by it.  Smoking and other pollution and chemicals in the environment seem to have an effect.  People who are obese seem to be more likely to get certain kinds of cancer.\n\nThe bottom line is that there is no simple answer to your question.  Do some internet searches for differnt kinds of cancer and you'll get more specific information.

how can i tell if a guy totally likes me?

You could tell by just the way he looks at you.  His reactions around you when your talking or just being together.  He gets nervous and start saying things that dont make sense.  When your out to a dinner he would start playing on something, like the straw on his soda, or will always laugh on anything you would say.  You can tell if you really pay attention to him.  Hope this helps.  Good Luck!!!


The cost in dollars of producing x units is C(x)=920+2x - .02x² + .00007x³. Find The marginal cost?

If you can only produce an integer number of units, then the marginal cost will be C(x+1) - C(x), ie. if you are currently producing x units, how much more will it cost to produce the next unit? Since the cost of the next unit depends on how many units you have already produced, the marginal cost is itself a function of x.\n\nIf you can produce any real valued number of units, then the marginal cost will be the derivative of the cost function with respect to x, and is again a function of x.

What is the military like in other countries other than the USA?

Well first off we have the best equipment in the entire world bar none. Whatever that other guys was talking about German having better tanks is crap. I know for a fact that other countries have extremely trained militaries as well. I was stationed in South Korea for a year, and they were very professional and well trained. They had a strong NCO corps which is fundamental for having a  good military. They are extremly disciplined as well. The thing that makes ours the best is the fact that we have an all-volunteer military. Conscription might get you the bodies you need, but you lower your standards.\n\nMost of the 3rd-world countries are not as disciplined which can lead to fractures inside the military. They also do not train as long, and compared to our military, are significantly less advanced as ours.\n\nTo Joseph I never considered India a 3rd world country and It is the largest democracy in the world. I also make no reference to their equipment other than it is not as advanced as ours, which is a fact. I can prove it, but I do not want to go into that. I know the capabilities of the Indian army. I know also that we sell a lot of equipment to them as well. And yes they do have a larger army compared to ours, but by no measure is it as trained and equiped as ours. I'm not saying that they are in the stone age though. I know several people who haved trained with them, and they got some good training value from it. You took my words farther than they were suppose to go. In the end there is no military on the face of the earth that would win toe to toe with the US. It's just not possible. Sorry.\n\nAlso size of the military does not mean much when they cannot fight due to lack of logistical support or strong NCO corps. I'm just saying most militaries place their priorities in the officer corps, but they are not the ones who make everything go.

Why are the polar ice caps 20% less today then in 1978, for everyone who doesnt believe in Global warming?

I have no doubt about the fact that the planet is warming up. But it has warmed up and cooled down throughout the history of the planet. It even did this before humans were around. Who was to blame for it then? Nature, same as today. More greenhouse gases are released by natural means (without human involvement) each year than what humans have contributed over the last 10 years.


This email hoax describes an incident involving someone named Lauren, who was driving on her way to visit a friend.\n\nApparently, an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on its roof drove behind her, signalling her to pull over.\n\nHeeding her parents' advice, Lauren calmly continued driving and dialled *677 on her mobile phone. A few minutes later, four police cars appeared on the scene and surrounded the unmarked car.\n\nAccording to the story, the driver of that unmarked car was actually a convicted rapist.\n\nIn some states, special numbers immediately connect to that state's highway patrol. This piece of information is not universal, however. Instead of relying on email hoaxes such as this one for important emergency numbers, people are advised to use official and highly publicized hotline numbers, like 911.\n\nThis email hoax is actually a rehashed version of an older one which used #77 instead.

Oh my God! Are there any other women out there afraid of this?

There are a lot of us afraid of that. It's just a matter of time until they challenge Roe vs.Wade in the supreme court, and with the new justices appointed by Bush, it could easily be overturned. That would be a travesty. We have too many throw away children in our society now, and I was alive before Roe vs. Wade. I've seen what horrors illegal abortions can produce, and there will be illegal ones if it's overturned. \n\nThese people who are so pro abortion have no idea how many children will suffer if it's overturned. Is it better to have a child born then abused, neglected or abandoned than for a woman to have an abortion? And what right does anyone have to make that judgment for another woman. Moreso, what right does our government have to make that decision for a woman. It's her body, and it should be her decision. She's the one who knows her circumstances. \n\nYes, I agree that she should have thought about that before she got pregnant, but there are reasons that women get pregnant other than promiscuity, and once again, it's not our place to judge another.

Call and ask to speak to her Doc. Tell him how you feel, tell him how you mother is acting, tell him she is doubling up on meds, having accidents,ect.

She could have an accident that could kill or injure herself and innocent people.  Good luck.\n\nBlubla

how do you help your friend without seeming like you own her life?

Tell your friend that it looks like she wants to go a different way in her friendships and that you don't have much choice but to watch her go.  Let her know you're there for her if she needs a friend but not to bring any hate or meanness to the table when she does, to leave it with the hater she's wanting to hang with now.  It's tough to watch a pal go off in a direction you think is hurtful, KNOW is hurtful.  Part of growing is discovering what you're really about though and there's something in this new friendship that she's trying to find in herself.  There may also be an emerging masochistic nature to your friend that she's not shared with you before and this new friendship may be REALLY appealing in a way you can't relate to.  My guess is that if you give her space, she'll remember who she is and what she's about and reconnect with you.  If not then you need to understand that there are an awful lot of people out there who don't have the courage of their own convictions and are wildly uncomfortable with who they are.  You sound totally grounded but I get the sense that your friend isn't.


I've started to get an earache, what is the best thing to do?

most earaches will go away on there own. Relieve pain with warmth, (warm washcloth) doctors do not like to perscribe antiabotics as much anymore so unless it is getting real bad, wait it out. If you still have it after a few days see your doctor.\n\nDon't forget to load up on Advil or Motrin to help with the pain.


Most courts will grant mother with custody -- unless there's abuse, drugs, etc. involved.\n\nYou'd probably have to contact your local Family Court for more info.

speed and velocity are different things. velocity is a vector, i.e. it has a direction and value. speed is the value of such vector. In the movie they only keep the speed, not direction.

what is the maximum range of a sniper rifle and what are the human limitations involved.?

Max range is well over 1000 yards - I shoot my 308 at 1000 from time to time, and that's considered a moderate-powered rifle. 338 Lapua Magnum or 300 Winchester Magnum can reach well beyond a mile.\n\nAt those distances, there are really 4 factors that limit accuracy. Firstly, the precision of ranging equipment that is used. If I estimate a target at 1200 yards but it's really at 1400 yards, I might miss it entirely - or fire a shot at the knees rather than the chest.\n\nWind is another factor, and over a mile's distance the wind can vary. 300 yards out there might be a 10mph wind from the left, but there might also be a 5 mph wind from the right at 800 yards. This will have serious effect on the shot's path.\n\nThe accuracy of the rifle is important, too. Accuracy is generally measured in "minute of angle", or roughly 1 inch at 100 yards. So, a 1/4MOA rifle (fairly common among precision rifles) means the shot will vary by 1/4 inch at 100 yards. That also means that at 1400 yards, the bullet's impact can vary by up to 3.5 inches. That's enough to miss a marginal head shot, and that's under controlled conditions, which the sniper never has.\n\nThe last one is, of course, the sniper himself. At short distances the mere act of breathing can have an effect on the rifle; it will bob up and down in time to your lungs. There's a simple fix for that, though - stop breathing long enough to acquire the target and squeeze off the shot. There's a factor at long range that you can't overcome, though - your heartbeat. Your rifle will also move, ever so slightly, in time to your heartbeat because your blood vessels actually move you through hydraulic action. Just a bit, but enough. experienced long-range snipers will not lie prone, but actually prop themselves up just a bitso only their knee and elbow bones are touching the ground. Blood doesn't flow across those surfaces, so heartbeat doesn't move you as much. It's still visible because of your hands, but it's less than your arms or legs. Acquire the target, "learn" where your heatbeat is guiding the reticle, aim, and squeeze between beats.


Was Europe never a racially homogeneous continent?

neither africa nor asia are racially homogenous.  look at the vast differences between indians, arabs, and chinese in asia and pygmys, berbers, and black africans in africa.  there is huge variation.\n\nrace is not genetically significant.  people from the same race often show more genetic differences amongst themselves than they do with other races.  its just that we see skin and hair color predominantly and make the false assumption that these must be important indicators of genetics.  i don't know what caused differing hair and eye colors to evolve, but i am certain that these are very superficial traits which actually would have virtually nothing to do with whether the people are racially or genetically homogenous.

What ever happened to the kid in the Mean Joe Green Coke commercial?

In the 1979 commercial, a young kid (played by Tom Okon), offers a hobbling Joe a Coke. Joe reluctantly takes the Coke and drinks it. In return he tosses the kid his jersey. The commercial was so famous it was made into a TV Movie - The Steeler and the Pittsburgh Kid.\n\nTom Okon: Who? If you're over 30, you know him. The kid in the Mean Joe Green Coke commercial, gets Green's Jersey for a coke. Went on to play High School rugby at Fordham Prep. He also played four years at Fairfield University (#8) and was president of the club in his senior year. He's still involved with their alumni. \n\nLooks like he was in one movie, can't seem to find much more on him.

Not to panic....\nthe commonest cause of blood in urine of that degree in young men often is bergers disease also known as exercise-induced hematuria.

Do you think it is just a matter of time before the US invades Pakistan just like they did Iraq?

Before the US can consider attacks on other countries, it would be smart to get out of the quagmire it has in Iraq. I used to believe the insurgents simply wanted us out of Iraq and that they would quit when we left.  I no longer believe that. I believe they are deliberately keeping us bogged down over there, and keeping us busy putting out fires, so that we can't leave.  We must feel some obligation to stay until we see at least one commencement ceremony from their new government.  That would allow a clean break and this will probably never happen.  It is now time for a serious exit strategy.  It is time to give Iraq a short term timetable.  It is time for our troops to come home, lick our wounds, and get ready for the next round, wherever that will be.  I seriously doubt that it will Pakistan as long as Musarreff is in charge. Iran, on the other hand, or Syria????

i am going through a very diff phase, i am to choose betwn my future and my fiance both important 2 me, advice

been there, done that.  your asking for a lot of grief.  just the age situation with the children is a burdon, not to mention the difference between your "going to be" and you.  you yourself said your not mature enough to make a decision...let that alone be a guide for you.  first time marrages are tough enough these days, let alone the second time around ones.  i have had experiance with taking on "the others" kids and it is very difficult to relate to them, win them over, have commonalities with them and just simply get close to them.  and if they are close to you in age i'd think there would be little for them to look up to.  kids are hard to win over when your trying to "replace" their mom or pop.  I'd think hard on this one before I jumped into the fire.  good luck.


Why is Islam the most contradictory religion of the moment?

There is nothing contradictory about it.\n\nAnyone can do anything in the name of religion. It is the media and the ignorance of many that have Islam appearing to be contradictory. \n\nIn the name of religion, people can blow up buildings, they can fly planes into buildings, they can invade other countries, and can do anything all in the name of religion. That does not mean that the radicals represent what the religion is truely about.

I have to pretend that it is my mom's last day living to get along with her?

it's not bad.  And it depends on your age and dependency.  If you are still living home and going through the time of independence (teenage and early 20s) then you are growing away from her and more independent.  Once you're past that and able to accept her, and she accept you, for being a separate, independent person, things will get better.


I think i am addicted to Robotussin Gells and Coricidin HBP C&C. Am i destroying my body by taking large doses

dont take the ones with guaifenesin or pseudoephedrine. guaifenesin will dehydrate you and that is defineatly bad for your health. pseudoephedrine is the same as ephedra, the weight loss drug that was banned from the market a few years ago, but the bonding is different so instead of effecting your whole cns it just hits your sinuses. very similar to methamphetamine in structure, and is usually what its made out of. excessive use can result some of the same effects as extended use of ephedra and methamphetamine so thats bad too. \nhonestly its not that great of a high, and its not addictive.


Well first let me say thank you for the job you are doing, I certainly can't believe it is all you had hoped for.\nAs for your wife, she sounds immature and selfish from what you say. You are already away from her and have been for three years, you don't say how long you were together before marriage to her. MY heart says leave her, kinda like you can't lose something you never had, kinda thing. If that makes any sense. This basically goes against alot of how I feel about marriage, though I certainly believe there are always mitigating factors to take into account.\n If you divorce her, you know longer will be smacking yourself upside the head and can get on with life. Yes you love her and that makes it hard to let go. To tell you the truth it sure can't be any harder than the thankless job you are doing right now, of which I commend you and those with you. \n I am truly sorry that your wife is so immature and refuses to discuss issues with you, but that should tell you something. This is just what I think because I hate like heck to see anyone suffer at the hands of another. Please take care and stay safe.

Do you agree Zach Lund of the US Skeleton crew should be banned for taking a hair restoration pill?

If the hair restoration pill contains a banned substance then yes he should be banned. The fact that the principle use of the medication may be to grow hair doesn't really matter if one of the ingredients is banned by the IOC then the athlete must either avoid ingesting the substance or else face the consequences.\n\nIf an athlete took a medication for an earache and that medicine contained cocaine the athlete couldn't expect us to believe them when they say: "Hey...I have a sore ear so I take Ear-B-Gone,I didn't take it for the cocaine that is also in it that may enhance my performance!" The athlete should have used another treatment for his sore ear, one that did not contain a banned substance.\n\nIf a certain toothpaste was available at the store and the ingredients were mint leaves and bovine growth hormone then an athlete should probably not use it since the growth hormone was a banned substance...he couldn't expect us to believe that he or she used the toothpaste just for teeth whitening.\n\nAthletes have access to top medical and health information so they should be well informed by their medical/health team what they are putting in their Olympic bodies.\n\nIf Zach Lund is follicly challenged then he should deal with the situation in another way, one that does not involve using a medication that contains a banned substance, like maybe a wig.\n\nBesides, a lack of hair would make an athlete more aerodynamic and thus much faster!


how to do a repair of internet explorer  ,(running windows xp sp2)?

There are endless things that can go wrong with Windows, although A good anti-spyware can sure help. It just so happens that our favorite geek of them all (Billy boy Gates) has a "Beta" version of their new "Anti-spyware out. But wait til' you hear the best parts. Its FREE and it works great !!!! Bill Gates is, in fact, one of the "good guys" and rumor has it, he is going to war against these "Spyware" creeps. Right now its free, but probably not for long,, so hurry.\n\n PS: XP sp2 can sometimes fix problems, but not always. The BEST way to fix "Windows" and most computer geeks will agree, Is to do a "Re-build". Yes that means re-loading windows and losing all your files. You could save all your files first as a back-up. The problem is, if the back up files are infected. When you re-load them, all your work will have been in vain. Ya see, once something gets writen to the "Registry" it is VERY hard to get it off your machine. Remember, when you delete a file or files, the computer does NOT wipe it clean. All that is done is a "0" is writen in front of the files so the computer simply ignors it.After years of bad files on and off of the computer, this "Bad Seed" is formed. Or as said in the "olds school" days,, "The Ghost in the Machine". But before you re-load Windows, ALWAYS try the easy ways first, Try the "Microsoft" anti-spyware and stay away from music sites such as "Kazaa" and remember,,, MOST sites today contain spyware. Also try "Norton System Works 2002" Its NOT an anti-virus program. Its a "Fix-it program" people alway confuse it with being an Anti-virus progame because its the "Norton company".........\n\n Its like they always say..."If something to good to be true, then it probably is" Not much is free on the net today. You either pay in cash, or in headaches, such as Spywares.

Do people actually believe in an anthropomorphic god?

The Bible suggests that humans are theomorphic, in the image of God.  But I think that men wrote this who had an anthropomorphic conception of God.  I think God is beyond any form like that.  Certainly he is not limited to some physical form.  For our benefit, God takes forms so that we can grasp some idea of what he is like.

in the case of a divorce can the ex-spouse be named as a dependent if they can't get individual coverage?

An ex-spouse can still retain group medical coverage under COBRA for up to 36 months.  COBRA is a federal mandate for continuing health benefits when a qualifying event occurs such as divorce, for employers with 50 and over full and part time employees.  On the day the divorce becomes final, the employee should notify their employer and paperwork will then be sent to the ex-spouse notifying them of their right to continue medical benefits under the group's plan up to 36 months.  The paperwork must be completed and return within the specified time frame.  The monthly premium payment due is the full amount the insurance carrier charges the employer and the employer can add up to 2% of the cost to administer the paperwork.

how many tablespoons are in 1 and a half cups of flour?

a tablespoon is legally defined as 1/2 fluid ounce and a cup is 8 fluid ounces, so\n\n(1 + 1/2)cups\n\nsince 8 fl oz = 1 cup, divide this by "cup" to get 1 equivalent to 8 fluid oz/cup.  Multiply this by the above\n\n(1 + 1/2)cups*8 fl. oz/cup\n\ncancel "cups" on numerator and denomenator.  similarly, t tablespoon = 1/2 fl.oz, so 1 = 1 tbl/0.5 fl.oz.  multiply again.\n\n(1+ 1/2)*8*tbl/0.5 = 16*(1 + 1/2)tbl = 24 tbl.\n\nI know, I know, flour uses DRY cup measurements -- but in cookery, we don't need to get that particular.

Why is it that I still get some pimples at 41 years of age?

Usually, pimples appear more on teenagers because they secrete oily substances a lot. When bacteria mix with the oil, infection and then pimples result. In your case, your body may still secrete a lot of oil, maybe due to the types of food you eat (oily), or your body may just have that oily characteristics. You may see a dermatologist for a better advice, or you may just have to live with it and just hope that it will eventually disappear...Lack of sleep may also be another cause. Try to make a research on the other possible causes. Who knows, the solution may come from changing your lifestyle.

can anyone tell me why big ben at 27-4 as a starter with two afc apperances1-1 and now his first of many super

Because many players are only good for a few years and then fade out. Kurt Warner is a perfect example. On top of that Rothlisburger is playing for a great team. They've had three decent running backs and two good recievers (Randle El maynot be Plaxico but he's still not bad), and a pretty good line too the whole time he's played for them. \n\nSo I think people who are saying he hasn't been tested mean it in that way as to wheter or not he'd still be good if he didn't have the team, but if they are using it in that sense you could always question Peyton Manning. Who is playing for probably the greatest offensive team and has never really played without talent around him.\n\nPersonally I feel that Big Ben will be a great QB for many years to come because he can scramble but doesn't unless he has to, he's very athletic for his size and he's not too bad of a passer either... Oh, and if I may say it GO! Steelers!

Is this a good time to buy a home in the Bay area, california?

It is said that the hotest real estate markets may go through a little pullback but that most locations might be ok. So if you believe this then no.\n\nThat cooling off was due to some december housing starts statistics, which actually drastically increased in Jan. The reason may be that the extra cold december shrunk the number and pent up demand plus the extra warm jan made it balloon to its highest level in 30 years. If you believe that then yes.\n\nBottom line is if you can buy a home for a price you can afford and will be there a while and are happy with it then do it, even if the market cools off you will be fine. If it is an investment, then make sure it will have a positive cash flow after all expenses. If you have a positive cash flow and the nmarket cools you can always hold it until it comes back without any trouble.\n\nIf those are not true for you then you probably shouldn't.

how much can i overclock a 2.8 gh pentium 4?

You can only overclock a processor if it is built to be overclocked.  In your case your Pentium 4 will have to be a Pentium 4 HT (HT= Hyper-Threading).  My best advice would be to not overclock it.  If the manufactor thought it would run stable at a higher speed they would have sold it at that speed.

Can I use a typical PC CD-R to burn .jpg images that are readable by a Mac?

This is going to depend on the CD-R burning software that you have installed on your PC.  In some cases, you will need to check your configuration settings to ensure that the type of CD that you are going to burn is a PC/Mac hybrid mode.  (The online help for your software should document this feature if available.)\n\nAlso, you may need to choose a specific type of recording format, such as Joliet with long file name support.  Below is a link to free CD-R burning software, as well as a link for burning hybrid CD-Rs (although they use different software that you may not be using, some of the configuration settings should be similar in other burning software).\n\nAs far as .JPG images themselves, the file format is well defined and should be readable by applications which open them on either platform.

Did the first Christians(right after Jesus resurection)worship on Sunday?

Early christians considered themselves Jews and thus most certainly worshiped on Saturday.  It wasn't until Paul came along that they started to re-think the law of Moses.   Early christian leaders prayed in the Jewish temples (see Acts), but of course, they were not so welcome.   Being thrown out of temples and the influence of Paul was probably the major reason they began to think of themselves as a different religion.\n\nSo while the change to Sunday happened very early in the church (probably in the first generation) it was not immediately after the death of Christ.

Support Collection Unit to file a petition in FL. requesting a modification of the original order to transfer collection rights to the state in which you currently live.\n\nCheck with your LA Support Collection Unit.  They should be able to help you.  Good luck.

Phi Slamma Jamma was the nickname given to the University of Houston's Cougar basketball team from 1982 to 1984. This team was coached by the legendary Guy V. Lewis. They were especially known for their dunking skills and getting the ball to the basket in a hurry. The name was coined by Tommy Bonk, a writer for the Houston Post newspaper.\n\nThe team lost a close championship game against the North Carolina State Wolfpack in 1983, by a score of 54-52. The Georgetown Hoyas team defeated the Cougars in a championship game the next year.\n\nThe team included:\n\nBenny Anders \nClyde "The Glide" Drexler \nEric Dickens \nBryan Williams \nDerek Giles \nGary Orsak \nDavid Bunce \nDan Bunce \nRenaldo Thomas \nAlvin Franklin \nReid "Spot" Gettys \nLarry "Mr. Mean" Micheaux \nAkeem "The Dream" Olajuwon \nMichael Young \nDave Rose \nRob Williams \nIn 1994, Olajuwon & Drexler later reunited on the Houston Rockets team when Drexler was traded from the Portland Trail Blazers. The Rockets went on to win back to back NBA championships and earned Houston the nickname "Clutch City".


How do rocks form in water? What kind of lesson plan can I do?

I found several good websites with ideas for lesson plans. They are below. I also included a website for you to show how rocks form in water. My first inclination was that you good gather different types of rocks, but I'm thinking that making "rock candy" would be a fun inexpensive way to show how they are formed. Same theory as how natural rocks are made. The water evaporates leaving behind the sedimentation of sugar on a string. I've included a recipe that I found online, but haven't tried it. I did make rock candy when I was younger. You maybe be able to find simpler recipes by doing a search on "making rock candy" or "rock candy recipe."  HOPE THIS HELPS!!

Spectrophotometer is a photometer (a device for measuring light intensity) that can measure intensity as a function of the color, or more specifically, the wavelength of light. There are many kinds of spectrophotometers. Among the most important distinctions used to classify them are the wavelengths they work with, the measurement techniques they use, how they acquire a spectrum, and the sources of intensity variation they are designed to measure. Other important features of spectrophotometers include the spectral bandwidth and linear range.\n\nFollow the link for more information.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrophotometer


There are a few different kinds of pink eye, but most are contagious.  Most also resolve on their own within 1 month, but the process can be sped up with medication.  Definitely make an appointment with your eye doctor (you don't want to be contagious for a whole month).  You may need antibiotics (if it's caused by bacteria) or a steroid eyedrop.  In the meantime, don't share anything (towels, pillowcases, etc), use a tissue to wipe your eyes (and throw it away immediately), and wash your hands several times a day.


yup it is rapidly developing 2nd to shanghai and there are lots of opening spaces. it takes a little effort since there is some compeititon but if you are determined it can be worth it. if you want to move based on a tourist visit and loved the city, let me warn you living here is very different from being a tourist.


If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?

First we must use the Kelvin scale as is the only absolute scale starting from 0. You have quantified the amount of cold so you must use an asbolute scale. Kelvin measures the absolute temperature with 0 representing NO kinetic motion whatsoever of the molecules. Kinetic motion is another way of defining temperature. That said here we go:\n\n0 degrees F is ~255K so half of that is 122.5K which is -233.57 degrees F. \n\n0 degrees C is ~273K and half of that is 136.5K which is -136.5 degrees C. \n\nNumbers are all approximate.\n\nAlternatively, you can set an arbitrary definition for cold say 40 degrees F which is 278K. If its 255K (0 deg f)today, then you take the difference between 278 and 255 and multiply it by 2 and you get 46K. Substract the difference from 255 and you get 204K which is -92 deg farenheit.\n\nI hope I didnt lose you yet but I actually had fun doing this ;)!


Is there a link between acid rain and the decline of mushrooms.?

The rain become more acidic from falling through air pollutants and dissolving them, primarily sulfur dioxide.Combination of wet deposition from the atmosphere of droplets of sulfuric acid and nitric acid dissolved in rain and snow and dry deposition from the atmosphere of particles of sulfate and nitrate salts. These acids and salts are formed when water vapor in the air reacts with the air pollutants sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide(NO2).\n\nBecause of these ingredients, the acid rain can effect the mushroom's growth or development. In certain spesies, such as Amanita muscaria. the acid rain can inhibiting the production of the mushroom's mycelia.\n\nIn fact, according to recent report in Europe, mushroom's population is decreasing in the past 50 years, specificly in 10 of 18 countries.

S phase is the period of synthesis.  Mitosis is the nuclear division phase. If mitosis occur before DNA duplication during  anaphase or nuclear division results imbalance chromosome number. There is also some regulatory mechanism that copletion of DNA synthesis stimulates the mitosis to occur.

I Have dejavu more so than anyone i know.is there any way to develop my talent?

I get deja vu frequently, also. The best way to practice it is just to follow your instincts. If you think you should go with a choice, go with it and see what happens. Also, if you want to get very good at it, you should write down every time that you get a "vision" and note down the results- did you succeed, what went wrong...\nIf more than half the time you are right, keep going! You are probably on to something, then.


why is there no need for CSMA/CD on full duplex ETHERNET LAN?

Full Duplex can send and receive at the same time so you dont have any collisions. CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Media Access/ collision Detection) is used on half duplex communications.\n\nCSMA/CD works like this. \n\n1. The NIC listens to see if there´s traffic in te media (cable) \n2. if there isn´t any than it uses the media to send the info in electrical pulses\n3. if there is a collision (two computers send electric pulses at the same time) the pulses get messed up so the recipient sends an alert to all the network reportin the collision.\n4. All NICs stop sending electric pulses in the media and an aleatory algorithym applies a timer to each NIC to tell them when they can start sending pulses again. the odds of two computers getting the same time assigned is very improbable.\n5. once the timer expires the computers start the whole listening process again.\n\nhope this helps


Tell me what you think about george bush?

I don't hate him but I consider him to be the worst thing\nto happen to the U.S. in decades. His decision to send troops to Iraq not only alienated many of America's closest\nallies but cost lives,caused more hatred for the West and plunged the country hundreds of billions of dollars in debt.\nIt was even worse than Lyndon Johnson's decision to send more troops to Vietnam.


Genotype are the genes present in the DNA of an organism that determine that organism's traits. Each genotype is referenced with two similar letters - one capital one lower case. This means that there are three possible combinations, e.g. BB or Bb or bb. The capital letter represents the dominant gene and the lowercase the recessive gene. So each offspring gets a gene which is a combination of those passed down from its parents. By way of example, lets look at the size of your nose. Your Dad has a big nose with genotype Bb and your Mum has a small nose with genotype bb. If your Dad passes down the B and your Mum the b then you will have a big nose (Bb) because the B will dominate the b. But if they both pass down the b (bb) then you will have a small nose. If you get bb then that is called homosygous (pure) genotype and if you get Bb that is called hetrozygous (hybrid) genotype. The reason it is sometimes possible for a child to look nothing like either of their parents is that if both parents are hybrid genotypes (eg. in the nose example both are Bb and therefore both have big noses) all three combinations (BB, Bb or bb) are possible and you may get the bb and have a small nose...

how angioprim is effective in reducing heart blocks?

This is an over-the-counter medication that has not been tested by the FDA. A heart block is a serious medical condition that will not be solved by a pill. A sedentary lifestyle, poor eating habits, smoking, and a positive family history of heart disease all play a part in determining if you will or have heart problems. If you are having chest pain, see your doctor and have an EKG done or a stress test. Overall the best way to prevent heart disease is to exercise, eat right, not smoke, and limit alcohol consumption. Simple blood work will also be able to tell you if you have problems with cholesterol etc... Good luck.

why do i hate my life why do i want to never wake up in the morning does it mean im crazy or does it mean?

No, it doesn't mean you're crazy.  People use that term too often, and much too often in an inappropriate way.  I've been suffering from a similar situation for 7 long years.  I felt the same way you do, that I must be crazy, or defective because I couldn't be happy.  I didn't want to go on.  I finally had to give in to the fact that I needed outside help.  I found an excellent resource in my university's wellness center where they offer counseling services for very little money, if they charge you at all.  Since then my situation has improved very much, for the better.  \nCutting is one of the tell-tale signs of Borderline Personality Disorder, which I have.  I also have severe clinical depression, and generalized anxiety disorder . . . these things don't make you crazy, and seeing a counselor doesn't either.  They are things you can work on, and overcome in time.  But you have to take the first step.  Good luck!  Please don't be afraid to get the help you need.

Why do people become so hateful and intolerant when they are asked to defend and give proof outside?

Because we have a conscience.  Unfortunately the Christians just don't understand it.  It is that sick feeling you get in your stomach when you are buying a bunch of stuff that you have no evidence for.  And, when anyone comes around and tries to talk to them about it, that sick feeling gets bigger and instead of re-evaluating their position they blame the sick feeling on your Satanic influence.

I have a Vibra 128 Sound Card but it gives me a distorted sound while playing MP3's? Updated the driver no use

are you sure it's not the speakers. If you have a headset around, swap'em and make sure. If you installed this sound card because your onboard (intergrated) audio went bad, then make sure you disable it in the bios. Does the distortion happen when you logon to windows (windows startup sound) or does it only happen when your playing a specific game, movie, or software? You say when playing mp3's, how did you get the mp3's? sometimes DRM (digital rights management) software will cause this to occur.

what joke is this punch line from "and the proctologist says rectum i almost killed him"?

One day Johnny walked into the classroom, and the teacher said, 'Johnny, do you have your report done?' He replied, 'no ma'am.' She said, 'if you don't have it done by tomorrow then I'm going to make a call to your parents.'\n\nAs Johnny is walking home from school he looks to his left and sees two greyhounds racing,and one gets so far ahead of the other one that it just stops and the other one rams its head right up its @??.\n\nJohnny takes out a piece of paper and writes it all down, saying to himself, 'This is going to be my report.'\n\nThe next day at school the teacher says, 'Johnny, do you have your report done?' He says, 'sure do.' So he goes up to the front of the class and starts telling them what he saw. 'Yesterday I was walking home from school when I saw these two greyhounds racing, and one rammed its head right up the other's @??.' The teacher says, 'Johnny, we don't use the word '@??' in the classroom, it's rectum.' Johnny said, 'Rectum? Hell, it damn near killed 'em.' (1st ref.)\n\nThe actual joke you're asking about doesn't exist: "The punchline to an infamous joke; the actual joke, however, is unknown and, therefore, only the punchline is used. It's enough." See second reference.


There are some extremely smart people in Iran, both male and female.  Not the political leaders who are very primitive.  All the smart people are virtual prisoners of the theocratic state system to a greater or lesser degree.\n\nThey certainly can, and may already have atomic bombs.\n\nWhen you combine that with the statements and intentions of the political leadeership it is quite scary.\n\nEven more scary if they decide to foster terrorist objectives anywhere in the world.\n\nObviously this will backfire greatly on them over time, but it is possible something tragic could happen for others, even Russia, Israel, or any other place, like Saudi Arabia.\n\nHaving atomic weapons calls for having your brains under control and accepting international standards of sane and wise policies.\n\nThe Iranians are the only ones who can solve this dilemma, it must involve actual and overt policy and believable statements.\n\nAnything else is a doom scenario, with the worst doom on the Iranians themselves.\n\nSo far, it appears they do not understand this.  They are starting to feel very powerful and influential like Hitler, pre-World War II.  Will they make similar decisions?

Does anyone think conservatives are just lames who cannot get out of the box?

Liberal means open to new ideas - conservative means closed minded. Conservatives do not give jobs to the most qualified - just look at the no-bid deals Haliburton (formerly headed by Dick Cheny) got in Iraq and now in New Orleans. I live in New Orleans and the whole Katrina-FEMA-Home Land Security mess is all about sweet heart deals going to Republican insiders who are charging U.S. tax payers over $80.00 an hour to hire illegals at about $4.00 per hour to sweep debris in the streets. Next, conservative DOES mean racist. I'm from the south, I watched the Republic party court and recruit every racist like Strom Thrumond, Jessie Helms, Trent Lott and even David Duke because they promised a safe and welcome place for their views. True, money and power do corrupt - and neither liberal nor conservative are immune from that - but conservatives just add backwardness and ignorance to the equation. Always remember that the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were LIBERAL movements. Back then, the conservatives were called Tories. Don't let the Conservative-Republican-Tories of today get away the lie that they either patriotic or pro-American - they are not. \n\nBy the way, I'm not a minority, not a woman, not gay, not an alien, not from the northeast, not disabled and not on welfare or any public assistance. I'm self employed, I pay taxes, I'm a homeowner, I vote in every election, I'm a veteran of two wars, I hold civilan degree in Political Science and am a graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, I'm a southerner with multiple Confederate ancestors and I'm a Democrat.

what is the advantage and disadvantage of nuclear energy?

Advantages:\n\nFuel is cheap. Unlike other types of electricity generation only a tiny proportion of the cost of generating nuclear power is in the actual fuel burned. \n\n\nFuel is very easy and cheap to transport. A coal or gas power station will burn tonnes of fuel every day. A nuclear power station will burn only a few grams. Because so little fuel need sot trannsported the amount of auilliary grenhouse gas pollution form transport is almost nil, as opposed to thousands of tonnes a year from coal or gas transport.\n\nSafe. Coal or gas power is a highly dangerous way to generate gas. In the US alone dozens of people are killed each year mining and transporting coal and gas for power generation and hundreds more die as a result of the pollutants these stations produce. If the same amount of power were generated using nuclear stations fewer than 10 people would die. \n\nAccidents in nuclear power generation is also far less likely to result in a loss of life. Chernobyl was the worst accident ever in the history of nuclear power generation and killed less than 50 people. There have been numerus mine accidents in the US that have killed more than 10 people at a time.\n\nUnder safety I will also include the very low levels of radioactivity released. In the US alone around 10 people a years are killed by radioactive materials released by coal power stations. Nobody in the US has ever been killed by radioactive material from nuclear power stations. Fewer than 100 people have been killed by the radioactive material released by nuclear power stations in the last 50 years in the entire world. \n\n\nNon-polluting. Aside from making nuclear power generation very safe the almost total lack of unintentional pollutants is a major environmental bonus for nuclear power. Nuclear power stations contribute just 1/100, 000th of the amount of greenhouse gas as a coal or gas plant generating the same power.\n \nAbundant fuel. The world has about enough liquid rude oil to practically last about another 100 years at current consumption and extraction rates. Coal will see us through another 400 years if we sue it as an oil supplement. We have sufficient fissionable material available to provide 10, 000 years of nuclear power even if we abandon coal and oil altogether and get ALL our energy from nuclear power.\n\n\nDisadvantages\n\nWaste disposal. This is the biggest problem. Nuclear power plants produce radioactive material that takes thousands of years or longer to become safe. Until it does decay to a safe level it has to be stored where it can’t contaminate the water supply or stolen by people who want to use it as a poison. That requires either the construction of expensive containment facilities or the permanent lockdown of decommissioned stations so the material can be stored on site.\n\nStations are relatively expensive to build. Due to pressure from environmental lobby groups nuclear power stations are more heavily regulated than any other industry, far more heavily regulated than coal power stations or even coal mines and far more heavily indicated than the statistical danger warrants. IN addition any proposed nuclear power station will be the target of protests, endless legal challenges and direct acts of sabotage from ‘environmentalists’. Those factors make it far more expensive to build a nuclear power station in the US than to build a coal or gas station.\n\nPortability. Nuclear power requires nuclear reactors, big nuclear reactors. That means they are restricted to use in large ocean going vessels, trains and as stationary electrical generators. You can’t use nuclear power to directly power cars, trucks, and airplanes. That means that nuclear power can never directly replace a large amount of US fossil fuel use. The issue of portability can be offset somewhat by using nuclear electricity to convert plant material or even air and water into petroleum, but doings o is fairly expensive.

I believe it is an antibiotic. Sometimes animals get upset stomach with antibiotics, so you could try giving it either without food, or with mild food, like rice or plain cooked chicken. If your dog seems really sick from taking cephalexin, you want to tell your vet so they can try a different antibiotic.

I've got slow ethernet communication between two computers connected by hub... what should I do?

Configure the network adapters on both the PCs in Half Duplex mode and verify if this resolves the issue. This can be done as follows: -\nStep 1: Go to Start> Control Panel > and select Network connections.\n\nStep 2: Right click on your network card (for 2000 and XP only)and select Properties.\n\nStep 3: Select the Configure button.\n\nStep 4: Under the Advanced tab you will see two boxes; Property and Value. \n\nNote: Depending on the type of Ethernet card you are using the headings in the Property box will be slightly different.\n\nStep 5: Select each heading in the Properties box until the Value box displays the speed of your Ethernet card (it will look like this: Auto-Negotiation, 10Mb Full, 100 MB Half, etc..). You want to select 10mb Full Duplex.\n\nStep 6: Keep clicking OK until you get to the desktop. Your computer may ask you to reboot depending on the version of Windows you are running.
