arctan'(x) = 1/(1+x^2), so differentiating using the good old rules, we get the result (using 'sq' for the square root to avoid yahoo cutting the equation short):\n\nsq(a+x^2)-1\n-------------------------------\n(x*sq(a+x^2)(1+(x-sq(a+x^2))^2\n\nMan, that's ugly. :-)


How is Cloneing ir tampering with genetics a sin, Isent it more sinfull to withold mans potential?

Well, there is no where in the Bible that says, "Thou shalt not clone!"  I think that people are more concerned about where the stem cells are coming from than the actual cloning.  I don't think that we can actually clone a whole human being, because of the soul factor.  We are tho only thing that God made with a soul.  As for the cloning of human organs for transplant, I'm all for it if they can get the stem cells from a source other than aborted babies.  The sad thing is, abortion is a fact of life.  I hate it and feel it is murder.  BUT, now don't all yell at me and call me a hypocrite at once, IF these poor babies are going to be murdered anyway, cuz even when it was illegal people did it anyway, then why not make their lives count for something?  Wait for it...Wait...Just one more minute...Nope, I didn't get struck by lightening.  Whew, that was close.\n\nIf I were to be murdered, God forbid, I would want my organs and tissues to be transplanted to help save the life of someone else.  Should these babies be any different?


my last name is scalzo i was wondering what does it mean? and I believe its Italian and Irish?

"Scalzo" is Italian.   It means shoeless.


Do Polar Bears decay after they die? Just curious since it is freezing where they live.?

Most polar bear carcasses are actually eaten by other polar bears, and there are very few remains left to decay.  What the bears do not finish, smaller animals, like the arctic fox, will take care of.  The food supply of walrus and seals for most artic bears has dwindled, leaving many starving.  Thet therefore eat whatever they can get their paws on.  Discovery Channel had a recent special about polar bears and they actually showed the remains of baby bears that had been eaten by starving male bears.  Hope that helps!


I am writing a novel that includes a shuttle astronaut drifting into space and dying. How could this happen?

This is a tough one.  Are you sure you want to do this?\n\nAstronauts are always tethered to the space shuttle by a steel wire attached to special fixtures that are there for that purpose.  Maybe she thinks she attached the tether, but was distracted and the hook didn't catch.\n\nAstronauts do not have rocket engines in their suits for maneuvering.  They depend upon remaining attached to the shuttle.  Maneuvering rockets have been experimented with, but are not routinely carried in the shuttle.\n\nDuring the Gemini program, a thruster got stuck in the "on" position and sent the capsule spinning wildly out of control.  Neil Armstrong was the pilot and, through brilliant flying, got control of the capsule and saved the mission.  During training, he similarly responded to a malfunctioning rocket trainer, ejecting at the last possible moment.  Those two incidents were key factors in his being chosen to land the first LM on the moon.\n\nThe stuck thruster scenario couldn't happen the same way in the space shuttle because the shuttle has (i think) 32 thrusters and any one would not accelerate the ship that much.  Also, the shuttle has an automatic attitude control (call it an "autopilot") which would cause other thrusters to counteract the effect of the misfiring one.\n\nSo, you would be left with a previously unknown software glitch causing the shuttle to momentarily spin out of control by incorrectly firing many thrusters.  The pilot could switch off the automatic attitude control and take over manual control.  When he does this, he could overcorrect.\n\nFor your doomed astronaut, it could go like this.  She neglects to hook up the tether properly.  The shuttle lurches away from her and shakes her off the arm.  Then, when the pilot overcorrects, it slams into her and sends her spinning off into space, maybe unconscious and maybe with a cracked helmet that is leaking air.  Since the software problem means that the automatic attitude control cannot be trusted, the pilot has to go after her on manual control.  This is much slower, and before he can get to her, all of her air has leaked away.\n\nNASA goes to a lot of trouble to avoid having an astronaut floating away, so this scenario involves several events occurring in succession, every one of which is basically impossible.  Deus ex machina in reverse.\n\nThe space debris scenario is not believable.  All space debris larger than a softball is tracked by radar by NORAD.  The space shuttle is placed in orbits that are known to have little debris.  If a piece of debris might come within several miles of the shuttle, they change course.\n\nYou might have a small piece of debris, say something the size of a marble, hit the astronaut and kill her instantly.  Being hit by something like that would be like being hit by a 50 caliber bullet, only space debris travels a lot faster.  It would basically drill a hole through the person.  If it only damaged her suit, they carry tape that can be used to temporarily repair any rip that would not kill an astronaut instantly.\n\nYour idea of a space shuttle astronaut drifting away to die in space is fundamentally improbable.  I'm not sure you know enough about the space shuttle to write a story about it.  Maybe you should read a couple books and visit Kennedy.


appionted council is required when? also what type of crimes are they appointed too?

The appointment of counsel is done in criminal cases, either Misdemeanor or Felony. The Right to Counsel stems from the case, Miranda v. Arizona (1969) and is at the discretion of the individual being arrested or interviewed by law enforcement. Once the individual requests counsel or "lawyers up", all question by law enforcement must stop immediately. Anything said after the individual invokes his/her right to counsel, anything that is said if introduced at trial can be suppressed.


Yes, I do. I have some kind of long haired men fetish :)


i get sick so often how can i prevent from getting so sick all the time???

There are some definite things that can help here.  I can recommend them personally.  A really good summary can be found in the article at the link below.  Take some time to look at it.\n\nIf you're like me, you'll first say, "I don't have the time [or energy, or something else] for all that."  What you have to decide, eventually, is what's worse:  taking care of your body or being sick all the time.\n\nIf you're taking care of yourself well and still getting sick often, definitely see a doctor; but, choose carefully.  Perhaps see an Osteopath:  "Instead of just treating specific symptoms or illnesses, they regard your body as an integrated whole.  Osteopathic physicians focus on preventive health care."  (That's from the website at the second link below.)


how to say  "how are  you" in tamil language?

How are you? - Eppadi Irukkinga?\n is the colloquial and practical way of asking.\nGenerally, people also ask "Are you fine?". This can be translated as "Nalla Irukkingala?".


Never feel that you are not good enough for someone. He may like you for who you are no matter what you think. Just because he is handsome doesn't mean that he isn't going to like you. Just follow your hurt and take things as the come. If you guys do hook up then have a ball and get to know each other. It isn't about looks that make a relationship, it's about what's in it!!! GOOD LUCK

what will happen within 10 coming years for Middle-East people?

10 years is an extremely short period of time when discussing history so it would take something rather significant to greatly change life in the middle east and I don't see that happening.  The middle east and its people are going through a situation very similar to Europe in the 1500s and 1600s - Governments ruled by religious law.  It took hundreds of years for Europe to change their attitudes and beliefs about the role of religion in government.  I believe that people of the middle east will continue to be ruled by Islamic law for the most part and if this is the case, not a lot is going to change.

can a divorsed parents affects the self-esteem of a cleft lip child.. please site some refence.. tnx?

Divorced parents can affect the self esteem of any child, cleft lip or no cleft lip. Physical defects, such as cleft lip can already create insecurities in a child, which may leave a child psychologically less able to cope with the disruption that divorce can bring\n\nFirstly why can divorce lower self esteem\n1. Many parents see divorce solely in personal terms, i.e. how the divorce has affected them, their rights to property and children. This can isolate the children from a decision that does affect the entire family. \n2.  Fear of change - the uncertainty that can surround the divorce can frighten children, especially those presumed to young to understand what is going on, routine is disrupted, everyday life can be uncertain.\n3. Fear of Being Abandoned. When parents are at odds, children have a realistic fear that if they lose one parent, they may lose the other. The concept of being alone in the world is a very frightening thing for a child. \n\nSigns that the child is not coping psychologically\n1. Trying to Bring Parents Back Together. Some children believe that the break-up of the family is somehow their fault. These children typically either “act out” in negative ways, or try to be perfect in an effort to be “so good” that the parents won’t need or want to divorce.\n2. Aggression and Defiance. Although aggression and defiance can be the normal behaviour of young children. The key is being aware of uncharacteristic aggression in your children.\n3. Depression and Withdrawal. Many children in a family under stress will withdraw or show signs of depression. These might include hermit-like behaviour, the early signs of eating disorders, discussion or threats of suicide and the like. \n\nUnfortunately children are often the more innocent victims in a situation like this. If the parents manage to work together to help give the child a calm atmosphere in which to develop the necessary psychological skills to make it through this period relatively unscathed


It's only bad when you post things that hackers can see or get to. But if you are not doing inappropiate things, than it should be ok. But I'm not saying that you shouldn't still look out for these things. Also, make sure you're not talking to grown men on there.


Drink lots of water, no drinking pop or alcohol, no fat, no sugar or starches such as bread and pasta, just veggies a little fruit, very lean meat and take vitamins too. Exercise every day for a few hours such as running walking fast anything to make you sweat a little. Keep busy doing things - go to the mall, beach, dance, bike just move - no TV or to much Computer time! Do for a 2 weeks and you can should loose about 10 to 15 pounds. Oh and be happy and look your best - being stressed will not help with loosing weight at all.

Should we be careful not to offend Muslims with cartoons ?

Gee,  people wonder why people are leaving religions in droves and are thoroughly disgusted with the institution as a whole and use the word hypocrisy.  The cartoons were offensive and so were the anti-Semitic cartoons the Islamic press were publishing at the time.  But there is freedom of speech and we are entitled to use it!  Nor do people not of one have have to conform to the rules of another.  I find it funny Muslims are in an uproar over cartoons of their prophet yet at the same time running blatantly anti-Semitic cartoons in THEIR papers.  Talk about talking out of both sides of your mouth...\n\nGROW UP THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU!  We ALL have to live in this world not just you!

whats the difference btween christian and cathlic?

First, I am a fellow Roman Catholic.  I am also a Knight of Columbus, which should tell you my devotion to the Catholic faith.  Now, to the question:\n\nHave you ever hear the logic example that says, every square is a rectangle, but not every rectangle is a square?  The same applies.  Every Catholic is a Christian, but not every Christian (those whose religions refer to themselves as it, anyway) is a Catholic.  The difference here is Protestantism.  Protestants (Lutherans, Methodists, Pentecostals, Baptists, etc.) all call themselves Christians, but would be lothe to be referred to as Catholics.  Here are the main differences:\n\n1) Catholics believe that St. Peter was the first Pope, and the line of Popes runs from him down to our current pontiff, Benedict XVI.  Protestants do not recognize the authority of the Pope.\n\n2) Catholics believe in 7 sacraments, which are Baptism, Penance, Eucharist, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders (priesthood), and Annointing of the Sick (aka Last Rights).  Different protestant religions take out different sacraments, depending on how they were founded.  Martin Luther did not fully believe the Eucharist became the Body of Christ, so they do not fully consider it a sacrament.  Baptists only celebrate 2, baptism and confirmation.  They do not consider marriage to be sacramental.  This is one of the big disputes...Catholics believe marriage is a sacrament, so divorce is not possible.  Annulment, if you have heard of it, simply states that the sacrament never happened...it does not break a sacrament.  NOTHING can break a sacrament.\n\n3) As you mentioned, Catholics believe in the intercession of Saints.  That means that you can ask different Saints to pray to God for you, and God can allow them to help you do different things.  Jesus, during His transfiguration, spoke with Moses and Elijha, proving that Saints are very real.  Revelations talks about God hearing the prayers of Saints.  Protestants generally do not believe in Saints, even going so far as to say you are evil for praying for their help.\n\n4) Catholics actually have a more books in their Holy Bible than protestants do.  Luther decided, and others helped over the years, that certain books just did not belong in the Bible.  So, they got rid of books like "Wisdom of Solomon," "Baruch," both books of Maccabees (which reference Purgutory), "Sirach", etc.\n\n5) Catholics (Roman Catholics, anyway) have celibate priests and nuns.  Other faiths can have their preachers and sisters get married.\n\n6) The biggest difference:  Lutheranism was founded by Martin Luther.  The Methodists were founded by John Wesley.  Baptists trace their church to John Smyth in 1609.  Catholics, my friend, were founded upon a command by Jesus, the Christ, to Peter, His Apostle (read Matthew 16:18).  Other religions may revere Christ and speak of the Apostles.  The Catholic faith was made by Christ's command, to the Apostles.\n\nI hope this helps.  Do not be fooled by those who tell you that salvation is found anywhere.  Be sure you get the original, untainted source.


YES! YES! NO!\n\nI don't understand this witch hunt that seems to be going on against gays.  And that's what it is... they get one right taken away after another... after the 'ban of marriage' succeeded, now, people are going after their right to adopt children.  What's next?!  Their right to breathe our air?!\n\nThis is a huge hot spot with me. I'm not gay, but I believe in EVERYONEs rights.  They aren't criminals, they have a different life style, and they should not be punished for that.  I mean, they can't help the way they feel... that's just the way you are born.  And WHAT HARM is it doing anyone if they get married, or adopt children?  It's actually doing the adopted child a favor, they'll have a loving family.  A lot of times gay couples will adopt children that other (straight) couples won't adopt because they're too old, or have behavioral problems or what not.  Are we going to punish this child by making them NOT have a home until they are old enough to go off on our own, JUST so we can punish someone for being gay?\n\nAnd as far as I know, the children that they have would NOT be confused.  They'd be well adjusted, and learn to be more TOLERANT towards others who are different.\n\nI could go on for a while about this, but I won't.  I'm afraid to see what all the other answers will be though... sigh.\n\n(but I just submitted and looked at other responses and was so far pleasantly surprised.  Thanks guys!)

what's the best way to go after a police department for violating your civil rights?

Get A lawyer but go to a few of them to make sure that they know how to handle your case. ACLU can be very helpful!\nMake sure u keep times/dates/ incidents and names if u can get them. Make sure it is in detail and present it when u find a lawyer u can trust and know he /she is going to take your case seriously! Go to the Mayors office of the city you are being violated in and make them very aware of the situation. Lawyers might ask if u did anything like make  complaints or talk to anyone about this that might be able to take care of it before they will get involved. Good luck !


what is the difference between reliability and validity as used in describing surveys?

You can think of reliability as precision and validity as accuracy.  If you weigh yourself every morning on the scale and every day it says you weight 500 lbs, the result is reliable.  (I'm assuming you don't actually weight that much.)  The result lacks validity because you don't actually weight 500 lbs. If the scale says 150 lbs. every morning (pretend you weigh that much), then the result has both reliability and validity.  You can have reliablility without validity but you can't have valitidy without reliablility!  Hope that helps.

has anyone ever heard of the John Titor story?

yes it's very interesting.\n\nthere was an interview with the lawyer of the Titor family on coasttocoastam.\na movie is in the works...\n\nfor those of you who don't know...\n\n"John Titor was the name used for a purported time traveller from the year 2036 that posted on several time travel-related Internet bulletin boards during 2000/2001, making many ambiguous, but seemingly falsifiable, predictions about events in the near future and giving an account of his supposed native time period. Whether or not John Titor was a hoax seems to have been a topic of controversy on web-based paranormal discussion boards.\n\nThe postings claimed Titor to be a serving soldier who was assigned to a government time travel project. He was supposedly sent from 2036 back to 1975 to retrieve an IBM 5100 computer which he claimed was needed to "debug" various legacy computer programs in 2036. The postings also described various future events between 2000 and 2037, including World War III (predicted for 2015) followed by two decades of recovery.\n\nAlong with the prediction of World War III, another notable prediction is that of a Civil war in America, which was predicted to begin in 2004, around the time of the presidential election, and would escalate until 2008, which, according to Titor, "[is] a general date by which time everyone will realize the world they thought they were living in was over."\n\nAnother prediction was that 2004 would be the last year in which the Olympics would occur. This seems at odds with real-world events as the 2006 Winter Olympics began February 10, 2006. However there has been some argument as to whether the Winter Olympics was included in the prediction. Some have also speculated as to whether the predictions made by Titor were predicting only one course of the future, suggesting humans may have created an alternate future by going about things differently. This is an example of the many possible interpretations of Titor's seemingly specific predictions.\n\nWhen asked about the mechanisms of the time traveling, he replied that he was no engineer. When asked to use the time machine to do something paradoxical (ie, kill his grandfather) he replied that that would only affect this universe, but not his. He appeared to imply that there were many timelines, and his ship could not control its outgoing destination, but could return home easily."


Is the Buddhist conception of primordial awareness similar to the conception of God as formless consciousness?

No! there is no concept in Buddhism that is comparable to formless consciousness or god. \n\n"Primordial awareness", or the "Buddha Mind" is something that is at it's core, fundamentally us. It is the part of us that is unborn, or always present. \n\nTo make this a littler more easy to understand, the human body is made of molecules. These molecules are the same molecules that at some point in time resided in the earth and before that in the dark reaches of space perhaps even within the son or some other star. You could say that the substance of our bodies id Primordial Matter. \n\nLikewise, our consciousness is made up of the physical, biological aspects of our mind as well as the energy of our mind. It is this everlasting energy mind that is the Primordial awareness. It is OUR awareness of the universe and our part within it. When we achieve enlightenment, then we will reside within the Buddha mind, that part of us that is one with the universe. We will be awake to all that is.

How do I get a government grant without paying for some stupid information on a web sight ?

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. 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." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.


how do i find family tree history of Harold John Greenland born in New Zealand?

Link 1 is a forum devoted to NZ. While they would probably not know your Harold, they would know how to proceed.\n\nIn the US, you'd get Philip's birth certificate, which would tell you he was born April 1, 1933 (or some other date) to Harold J. Greenland of Aukland, aged 30, and Mary J. Smith, aged 28. It might even give you Harold and Mary's birthplaces. That gives you their birth years, to within a year or so.\n\nThen you'd look for Harold's death certificate; if you find one for a Harold born 1902 - 1904, you can assume it might be the one you are after. If you find one for a Harold b. 1890 or 1910, you can dismiss them.\n\nYou'd keep using birth, marriage and death certificates, obituaries, cemetery records, etc. until you got back to the very early 1900's or 1800's, when a wealth of on-line data would be available. \n\nI suspect you do the same in NZ, but the specifics are another matter.

I see your problem\n\nWe conventionally call it 12pm, but I think I understand why you're asking the question: how can noon or 12 midday be "<post> meridien" if midday <is> the meridien?\n\nSure, it is "post meridien" as soon as the second hand passes the 12, but at the exact instant of midday it can be neither am nor pm.\n\nSimilarly, midnight is both exactly 12 hours after midday (post meridien) and 12 hours before midday (ante meridien)....

How to calculate GPM of water through a pipe that transitions to different diameters.?

From what I recall, the flow rate (GPM) would be the same throughout the pipe.  The equation of continuity for incompressible fluid flow is\n\nA(1)*V(1)=A(2)*V(2)\n\nwhere A is the cross sectional area and V is the velocity of the water (1 and 2 are the before and after positions).  Looking at this, the only thing the different diameter pipes (and thus the CSA) affects is the velocity of the fluid.  When you have a reduction in CSA, the velocity increases (if you partially cover a garden hose, the water shoots out faster), but you're still getting the same amount of fluid out per time unit.\n\nTry this - time how long it takes to fill a cup using your kitchen faucet.  Then, fill the same cup, but cover your faucet like you would a garden hose so that the water shoots out faster, and time that fill.  The times should be the same, plus or minus timing errors.

It is great to let it go but it won't work since the underlying resentment will remain.  The best thing to do is try to calmly explain to your mom how deeply her words have hurt you and how they are detrimental to the children.\n\nYou need to clear the air.  After that, you can then decide how much or how little contact your children and you will have with her.  \n\nYou were right to remove your children from such a negative environment.  It is wrong of your mother to degrade you to your own children.  The good news is that your children will love you and won't pay attention to what she said...especially since you are removing them from the situtation.\n\nGood luck!

What are some creative ideas for making a 3D model of DNA?

I used beads on wire. The beads I chose were the kind that lock together pretty closely and are often used in Christmas ornaments... like candycanes. I think they were called tri-tip beads. Anyway, I used four different colors of those for the nucleotides. I choses smaller round beads for the Phosphates on the side of the helix and for the sugar part of the helix I used a couple of square beads.\n\nI made the ladder rungs first using a smaller gauge wire, I first made a loop in the wire that would be strung on the larger wire of the helix. I then strung 2 of the same color beads that I'd designated to be a nucleotide (lets say green for Adenine) Then I added two more beads of the color I'd chosen to symbolize Adenines complement: Thymine. Then I made a final loop in the wire to be strung on the other side of the helix.\nI repeated this process several times using different color beads to symbolize Cytosine and Guanine also. Each of the smaller 'ladder rungs should be the same lenght for the project to work.\nOn the rails of the ladder (helix) I used a larger guage wire to better support the weight of the project. I strung a round phosphate bead, then one of my square sugar beads, one loop from one of my previously constructed nucleotide rungs and then another of the square beads. I repeated this until I had a length of 'DNA' long enough to meet the requirements of the project. I finished the other side using the same directions.\nI mounted the whole thing on a piece of wood, by drilling holes to place the ends of the ladder (helix) wire in. When I inserted the wires in the base, I added twisted the project to give it the DNA characteristic wound look. I drilled two larger holes for wooden dowels to support the project too. I used an identical piece of wood on top as a cap for the project so that my DNA model wouldn't fall over or become unwound.\nOn the base piece of wood I added a key showing what each of the beads represented.\nHope that helps!

do green card holders absolutely need tax papers when applying for citizenship?

No, but they will be suspicious that you did not work unless you were a minor the whole time.  Even students work.  If you really didn't work, then you'll be fine.  But not working and pretending not to owe any tax are two different things.  Also, what kind of bum doesn't work for five years?  No offense, but that is the kind of question you'll be getting.

Are radio signals effected by extreme cold. I would like to make a RFID system work iat  minus 70 degrees.?

The passive RFID tags wouldn't have a problem, but the RF reader transceiver would have to have special temperature requirements to operate below 0 degrees Fahrenheit or so. RF propagation wouldn't be affected by the cold. The military might have one that operates at -70, but their stuff is expensive as you know. So you need to make an off the shelf commercial version work somehow, I understand. What if you had an outer molded plastic case designed in the shape of the current reader to provide an insulated air space between the inner electronics and the outer cold, windy environment? Then, you wouldn't need much heat to keep it warm. You'd also have to prevent the formation of condensation when you took it out in the cold or vice versa. Also, you'd have to be able to have minimal controls and readouts etc. Good Luck\n\nPS,  I forgot about needing a radome for the RF to go through, or mount the transceiver antenna on the outside of the new plastic housing.

Are their early stages of dissecting cellutitis and how is it treated?

What causes cellulitis?\n\nStaph (Staphylococcus aureus) is the most common bacteria that causes cellulitis.\n\nStrep (Group A Streptococcus) is next most common bacteria that causes cellulitis. A form of rather superficial cellulitis caused by strep is called erysipelas; it is characterized by spreading hot, bright red circumscribed area on the skin with a sharp raised border. The so-called "flesh-eating bacteria" are, in fact, also a strain of strep which can in severe cases destroy tissue almost as fast as surgeons can cut it out.\n\nCellulitis can be caused by many other types of bacteria.\n\nIt is crucial for the doctor to distinguish whether or not the inflammation is due to an infection. The history and physical exam can provide clues in this regard, as can sometimes the white blood cell count. A culture for bacteria may also be of value.\n\nWhen it is difficult or impossible to distinguish whether or not the inflammation is due to an infection, doctors sometimes treat with antibiotics just to be sure. If the condition does not respond, it may need to be addressed by different methods dealing with types of inflammation that are not infected. For example, if the inflammation is thought to be due to an autoimmune disorder, treatment may be with a corticosteroid.\n\nAntibiotics, such as derivatives of penicillin or other types of antibiotics that are effective against the staph germ, are used to treat cellulitis. If other bacteria, as determined by culture tests, turn out to be the cause, or if patients are allergic to penicillin, other appropriate antibiotics can be substituted.

Tetris Attack is a puzzle game first released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in North America and Europe. It was released for the Satellaview attachment to the Super Famicom as Yoshi-no Panepon in Japan.\n\nTetris Attack began as a Super Famicom title called Panel de Pon (パネルでポン, Paneru de Pon?). It bears no relation to the original Tetris aside from being a puzzle game with stacked bricks, and the American version shares the Tetris name only for marketing reasons. Panel de Pon featured an extremely feminine look with many whimsical, fairy-like characters. When Nintendo decided to release the addictive puzzle game to North America, they dropped the fairies in favor of characters from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island for the purpose of making it more appealing to image conscious young male audience, a significant part of the video game market at the time (see Character Replacement Table). Tetris Attack was later released for Nintendo Game Boy, with a drop in graphics and sound quality, drop in difficulty, and loss of color information. A subsequent port of the game to the Nintendo 64 console, Pokémon Puzzle League, was rebranded with Pokémon characters and added two new features: a puzzle editor and a 3D game mode that takes place in a cylinder three times the size of the normal board. PPL also had smoother game play and smarter computer opponents than Tetris Attack. Pokémon Puzzle Challenge was released for the Game Boy Color soon after. PPC dropped the puzzle editor and 3D mode but had a new game mode of its own, Garbage mode, which was basically Marathon mode with the addition of garbage blocks that periodically fall onto the stack. Whereas Pokémon Puzzle League presented several new features to the gameplay, Pokémon Puzzle Challenge was essentially Tetris Attack covered with Pokémon wallpaper. An additional difficulty level, "Intense" mode, was added for Pokémon Puzzle Challenge.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_Attack

does anyone think there are people in the world that has super strength or has done any feats? if so list any?

I think there are people out there that can do all kinds of things--not sure it's super strength, but maybe they have some kind of energy.  Saw a guy once who would take my cigarette wrapper (the foil part), and he would ask me to dip it in any liquid.  He would then take the foil wrapper and rub it in his hands, fold it up, put it in my hands, and it felt like it was going to burn me.  I don't think it was a trick--never could figure it out.


What site can i go to talk to a cambodian refugee; i need to ask them some questions for a class?


how does an oscilloscope work and how does one read the graphs produced?

Vertical scale is the amplitude of a signal.\nHorizontal scale is the time or period of the signal.\n\nThe graticules are divided up in volts per square, vertical and seconds per square, horizontal.\n\ni.e. A signal measures 2.4 squares vert and the Vert multiplier is at 1V per division. The Voltage peak is 2.4div X 1V per divison = 2.4Volts \n\nThis same signal is 4 squares in the horizontal and the time per division is set to 0.001sec per division. The period is 4 div X 0.001sec per division = 0.004sec.\n\nThe frequency is simply 1/period = 1/(0.004sec) = 250Hz


I need to calculate the strength of an electromagnet. How can i do so?

You could measure the strength of an electromagnet by hanging small iron \nweights from the magnet.  When the applied weight (force of gravity acting \non the weights) exceeds the force of the magnet, the weights will fall \noff.  Steel Flat washers of the same diameter as the coil would be \ninexpensive and simple to use.  You can weigh several washers on a food \nscale and calculate the average weight of each washer.\n\nThe equation for the magnetic field strength, H0, in Ampere-turns per \nmeter for an empty (air) coil is:\nH0 = the applied voltage / (the number of turns of wire in the coil \nwinding X Area within the coil winding X the permeability of air).\nThe area is pie X D squared/4, where D is the diameter of the coil winding \nin meters.\nThe permeability of air,  , is 4 X pie X 10 to the - 7  henry/meter\n\nThe Equation is for a direct current.  An alternating current applied to \nthe coil cannot be used for lifting magnetic objects.  \n\nBy substituting different numbers for the applied voltage, the number of \nturns of wire and the diameter of the coil, you can calculate how each \nparameter will effect the strength of the magnet.\n\nElectromagnets can be fun, however,  keep them away from recorded tapes or \nthey will erase the contents.

My hubby is making sex but cant go for long (about 5 to 7 minutes) is it normal? how can we increase time?

Married woman. are you taking care of yourself, buying beauty products, dresses, going to a salon?

Everyone, male and female, should always take an effort to be neat and clean.  But "spending the family budget" on spas and expensive clothes seems to me the height of irresponsibility.  I can't image any mature man wanting his wife to blow the money that ought to go to the children or the light bill on a facial.

doctor of dental surgery degree is equivalant to ?

The DDS is a professional degree and indicates that the person holding the degree has completed training in that profession.  It is equivalent to an MD, except it applies to the field of dentistry.  I suppose it is roughly equivalent to a PhD, however research (including a master's degree) and professional degrees differ in the way that candidates are trained, so they're not comparable (I say this from experience)


YOu show an awareness of the reason for your discomfort with women.  It could also be a fear of intimacy which is quite common especially if you had some kind of abuse as a child. It is a subconcious fear that you may be hurt somehow. I don't know how you would resolve this without some regular talk therapy. You need to explore it a lot each day and write your thoughts about it in a journal you keep to hlep you figure out and understnad it. Once you understand it completely it will lose its hold on you and you can gradually overcome it.

how many different 5 number combinations are there for numbers 1-38, where the numbers cannot be repeated?

The number of combinations is given by\nnCr  =  n! / ( (n-r)! r! )\n\nThis formula works by calculating the number of possible permutations of r=5 choices from n=38 objects then dividing it by the number of ways the 5 objects can be arranged leaving just the number of possible combinations without worrying about their order.\n\nn!/(n-r)! = 38 * 37 * 36 * 35 * 34 = 60233040\n\nThis is the number of different possible permutations.\n\nr! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120\n\nThis is the number of ways you can rearrange 5 objects. Each different possible combination of 5 from 38 objects can be arranged in 120 different permutations. Thus taking the total number of permutations and dividing by 120 will tell you the number of unique combinations.\n\n501942


If I am setting up outlook express what server do I use for yahoo eg http, pop3 or smtp?

Unfortunately, Yahoo! requires that you pay to access this feature.\n\nYahoo's explanation of the process, once you have upgraded to Yahoo!

how much money is spent printing tax forms in foreign languages?

When it comes to acquiring taxes, the government has no limit.  I believe that they would spend more on the forms than the taxes collected.  That's the way the government is run.\n\nAll returns should be in English, and it should be the responsibility and expense of the taxpayer to have it translated.  They could also go to their illegal accountants.

Can anyone tell me what happened on The Sopranos last night? I forgot it was on.?

It was fantastic! Here you go...\n\n\n\nTony wakes up in an anonymous business hotel room and heads to the bar for a drink. He calls home and gets the answering machine with...a young boy and girl: "Hi, you've reached the Sopranos." He smiles and leaves a message.\n\nThe next morning signing in for a conference, Tony realizes he has the wrong wallet and briefcase when the picture ID he presents belongs to "Kevin Finnerty", a solar heating systems salesman from Arizona. Tony calls home-but the woman offering consolation is not Carmela. \n\nHe heads back to the bar to see if he can find his belongings-or Finnerty, since he can't get on a plane or check back into his room without his own ID. A group of business travelers overhear his dilemma and invite him to join them for dinner. After dinner, outside the hotel, Tony makes a pass at a woman from the group-she reciprocates briefly but cuts him off. "This isn't going to happen...I saw your face when you got off the phone with your wife."\n\nA helicopter hovers overhead. Tony looks up into its searchlight...and suddenly he is in a hospital intensive care unit, with doctors working on him. Carmela and Meadow are at his side.\n\nChristopher, Silvio, Vito and Paulie wait for news, camped out in the hospital waiting room. It's not good. Tony's on a ventilator; Junior's gun shot damaged his internal organs. "Does he know he's dying?" asks Carmela. "We don't know," the doctor replies. \n\nMeanwhile, business traveler Tony checks into another hotel using Kevin Finnerty's credit card. A couple of Buddhist monks overhear him checking in and thinking he is Finnerty, accost him: "We had a horrible winter at the monastery because of your heating system." They scuffle but flee before Tony can find out more about Finnerty.\n\nAfter another restless night, Tony takes the stairs when the hotel elevator is out of order. When he trips and falls down a flight, we flash back to the hospital room where his family is camped out. Dr. Plepler warns Carmela about possible brain damage and urges them to talk to Tony, maybe play him some favorite music. Janice breaks down when she visits.\n\nIn custody, Junior is being questioned by a psychologist to determine if he shot Tony intentionally. But Junior is confused. "If somebody shot my nephew it was him himself. He's a depression case." \n\nAt Eugene's funeral, Silvio briefs the crew on how he'll run things in Tony's absence. Vito stirs things up asking for Eugene's "sports book in Roseville," bringing up Junior and asking why Bobby wasn't babysitting instead of Tony. "He's gotta make an issue out of everything," Christopher complains to Silvio.\n\nCarmela plays CDs for Tony and reminisces, urging him to keep fighting. "I know that you're really strong, as strong as a bull." \n\nChristopher stops by the Pork Store and sees Agents Harris and Goddard, who test the waters with him as an informant on Harris's new terrorism beat. "If you ever heard of anything going down-Middle-Easterners, Pakistanis-you'd be helping a lot if you picked up the phone." \n\nAnthony Jr., who has been avoiding taking his turn at the hospital, finally sits with his father into the night. He promises to get Uncle Junior for this. "I'm gonna put a bullet in his f&%$in' mummy head. I promise." \n\nCarmela praises Anthony for helping his family and he takes the opportunity to confide that he flunked out of school. Her mood changes: "My God. With your father in a coma." \n\nAt a hospital, business traveler Tony is diagnosed with Alzheimer's after falling down the stairs. When he returns to his hotel room, he stares at the phone, but can't bring himself to call home. \n\n\nThere are video clips and bulletin boards, as well as this summary at the following link...\n\nhttp://


Are you thinking of maltophilia? \n\nThis is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stenotrophomonas_maltophilia . \n"Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophlia) is an aerobic bacteria which is an uncommon but difficult to treat cause of human infection. It is a nonfermentative aerobic gram-negative bacillus which thrives in aqueous environments such as water, urine, or respiratory secretions. It was previously known as Pseudomonas maltophilia.\n\nS. maltophila frequently colonizes breathing tubes such as endotracheal or tracheostomy tubes. It may also colonize chronically indwelling urinary catheters. Therefore, testing these pieces of equipment may show the presence of S. maltophilia without there being an actual infection. In the right condition, however, this colonization may evolve into pneumonia, urinary tract infection, or a blood stream infection.\n\nS. maltophilia has natural resistance to many commonly used antibiotics and is thus often difficult to eradicate. Most S. maltophilia is sensitive to co-trimoxazole."\n\n\n\n\nThis article is related specifically to cystic fibrosis patients:\nhttp://www.highbeam.com/library/docfree.asp?DOCID=1G1:72271673&num=1&ctrlInfo=Round19%3AMode19a%3ASR%3AResult&ao=&FreePremium=BOTH

why does a coin placed over a floating wooden block falls in to water after sometime automatically?

Never heard of this one.  I would venture to say that this would be caused by vibrations picked up through the liquid on which the block floats causing the block to randomly tip.  If it slides the coin enough in one direction it will continue in that direction because of gravity and eventaully fall off.

Is there a way to check the ratings of charities?

There are not many organizations devoted to rating Charities, and knowing the legitimacy of a charity specially if this charity is operating in another country is a difficult task.\n\ntransparency international once published a report on the opperation of charities in third world countries, and this has been considered one of the first "charity rating" reports. Sadly if the charity you are considering is not in the report this is of lttle help.\n\nWhy not rate them yourself, it will consume some effort but you will have a chance to learn aobut them before you pledge resources.\n\n1) Visit their offices\n2) Request finnancial Statements\n3) Ask to visit any of their sponsored projects in your local area.\n4) Ask for a list of charities they have been working with in the past.\n\nFor me, as a person who has working in not for profit organizations for more than 15 years, it is still sadly surprising the amount of less than serious "Charities" that "ride the system" instead of dedicating themselves to real projects.  In the end this not only hurts them but hurts the possibilities of the people really in need.

Miscue\nCoined by Ken Goodman in the mid 1960s, a miscue is any departure from the text when reading orally. Use of miscue instead of "error" suggests that mistakes are not random, but occur when the reader tries to use different strategies to make sense of text, and emphasizes that not all errors are equal -- some errors represent more highly developed reading skills than others. Miscues can be analyzed to suggest what strategies the reader is using or lacking, and what kinds of additional instruction might be helpful.


looking for software that will clean my harddrive,want to start new.?

The software that will clean your hard drive is supplied with the O/S. Depending upon which you use. In the BIOS set your system to boot from the CD first, then the floppy drive second and last the Hard drive. Put your bonified copy of XP/2000 in the CD tray and just reboot. It will guide you through the set up procedure, select a clean install, or fresh install and about an hour later you will be set. Just pay attention to what the screen is asking of you and always go NTFS file system. On some XP/2000 versions you need to go to the makeboot or tools directory and make your boot disk for a fresh install or you could get it from Microsoft. If you are still running something a little older, say Win98, remember that start up disk you made, well it has the program Fdisk on it, just run it from floppy on a reboot and select fdisk, after that, format C: /s /v I always made a directory called win98 and copied the contents to that directory and setup from there. Windows Mill, the same way. So here ya go all provided by the source of your own operating system. Good Luck If you have any questions you can contact me through Yahoo Answers!


why  does mud fly off a rapidly turning wheel?

There is no such thing as "centrifugal" force.\n\nThe mud stuck on a rotating wheel is undergoing circular motion.  At any instant in time as the wheel rotates, the mud stuck on the side has a velocity vector pointed straight outward tangential to the wheel...and yet it still goes around in a circle.  Since the velocity is constantly changine, since the direction is constantly changing ("speed" may or may not be constant), there must be some type of force acting on the mud to cause it to accelerate.  This force is called centripetal force, the force causing the mud to contantly accelerate toward the inside (axis of rotation) of the wheel.\n\nThis foce is not magic, something must be applying the force on the mud.  You could call it the "stickyness" factor of the mud or a type of friction adhearing the mud on the wheel.  In reality, it is due to thesruface tension of water [but that is a topic for another day].\nThis centripetal force is applied on the mud so that is experiences centripetal acceleration causing the musts velocity to constantly change as it goes around the wheel, without this force, the mud would just fly off in a  straight line.\n\nAt some point, when the wheel is turning fast enoug, not enough centripetal force is being applied to the mud in order to keep it adhearing to the wheel and continue going around in a circle.\nCentripetal force = m(v^2 / r),\nwhere m is the mass [of the mud], v is the tangential speed [of the mud], and r is the radius of the rotation.\nAs you can see, a larger centripetal force is required if the wheel is spinning very fast, so if the wheel is spining so fast that the mud does not get enough centripetal force, it will fly off.  Another fact would be a smaller radius of rotation, the smaller the radius, the higher the force needed.

In Judaism, what is the belief once a person dies?

The Structure of the Soul \n\nA human being on earth unites two parts -- a body and a soul. Each part is extremely complex in structure and consists of multiple components. While the body's structure is reasonably well understood, the structure of the soul is a mystery many tried to analyze. One Talmudic opinion divides it into three major segments: \n--------\nNefesh: the lower, animal part, related to the instincts and to the reactions of the body.\n\nRuach: the spirit, or the middle soul, linked to the understanding of morality and the ability to differentiate between good and evil.\n\nNeshama: the higher soul, linked to the intellect, and separating humanity from all other life forms. It allows the person to be aware of God, and to participate in the afterlife. \n--------\nAccording to the Zohar, which leans toward a mystical view of the universe, two additional soul parts may be developed by very few, select individuals who have the capacity of sublime levels of intuitive cognition: \n\nChayyah -- the part of the soul that is aware of the divine life force.\n\nYehidah -- the highest part of the soul, capable of achieving full union with God. \n\nWhen the body dies, the soul components come apart, and each segment follows a separate road. The lower parts must undergo purification; the higher parts aim to join with God. Nefesh remains with the body for about twelve months, guarding the grave and occasionally roaming the earth for the purpose of learning. Ruach goes to Gehinnom (Purgatory), to purge itself from the sins the person committed in life, and prepare for the future life of the soul. Neshama goes to the lower Gan Eden (Paradise), Chayyah and Yehida return to Upper Gan Eden. \n\nThe Stages of the Journey \n\nIn rabbinic teachings, Olam Haba took many shapes and forms. To some, it is simply our own fully physical world, made better after the coming of the Messiah. To others it means Paradise, a spiritual place. Often, a journey is described, where the soul will encounter certain stages: \n\nHibbut ha-kever (the suffering of the grave) \n\nA Jew who truly believes in God has little fear of dying. He sees death as a simple transition from one life to another. God will be the same there as He is here, and that is all that matters because in either life the one goal is to serve Him. The separation of body and soul is as simple, according to Talmudic transition, as removing a hair out of a glass of milk. \n\nTo the less than perfectly pure, the separation can be more difficult. The soul of the worldly Jew strongly identifies with the body -- an erroneous but powerful notion that makes watching the body undergo decay and be eaten by worms extremely unpleasant. However, this mental agony serves a purpose; it awakens the soul from its wrong assumptions and allows the separation from the body to occur. \n\nDumah (the angel of silence) \n\nIf Hibbut ha-kever is still insufficient to separate body and soul, a great danger looms -- the decay and disintegration of the consciousness of the soul. At some point after death, the angels summon the Jews to the Heavenly Court by calling them by their Hebrew names. Many souls are so shocked by the death process, or are subject to the decay and disintegration of consciousness to such an extent, that they forget their  names. If they don't follow the angels when they call them, the souls may wander off and spend aeons roaming the earth for no purpose at all. This is the time for intervention by the angel of silence, Dumah. He visits the graves regularly, and repeatedly asks the dead to tell him their Hebrew names, thus preventing forgetfulness. To help Dumah in his task, each Jew is taught a mnemonic device -- a Biblical sentence that begins with the first letter of the name and ends with the last letter of the name. This sentence is repeated after every prayer session. When Dumah asks for the name, even if the person forgot it, he or she cannot forget the Biblical verse because it

HDL below 40 is considered a risk factor for heart disease.  The best way to increase it is through excercise. If that fails, there are drugs like Niacin.  But usually, excercise is enough in young people.  Good luck...

how much genetic difference can be found in identicle twins? in % value.?

Most of the differences are behavioral more than just "looks." But there are differences that cannot be detected by human eye. There are computer programs to determine the differences between faces for example and research done in Britain showed that except a couple of them, all of the twins can only match up to 30%, most of the twins were way lower than that around 10%; meaning they look same to your eye, but actually they are not the same at all, not even close.

a fridge blow up where i work and i exposed to the gases am i in any long term danger?

Older fridges used freon and it shouldn't cause you any problem.  I don't know what newer fridges use.  \n\nAlthough I do not see any problems with this... play it safe.   Fill out an incident report at work to make sure that you have this documented.  Next, have your lungs checked out.  You shouldn't have to pay for this... it should be covered by your employer.  Just make sure that you keep your company abreast of your plans so that they won't try and reject the medical bill when it comes.


Use a planner.  Write down the activities you intend to do for the day.  Spend the first ten minutes on your workdesk "wasting" time prioritizing your work for the day. Rank A for the most urgent and important, B for the next most important and C for the least important task.  Follow these priorities.  Make sure the activities you write down are in "executable" and "chopped up" mode.  For instance if you are writing a paper, don't put "write English paper".  Rather, put "write outline for English paper" or "get references, ID top 3 most important references", "Write chapter 1 - background of the issue".  Also, make sure that the time you allot matches the time that you really need. Be realistic. Don't allot 1 hour when all you need is 30 minutes. And vice versa. Your planner is an action plan, not a wishlist.  Stick to it and know yourself.  But do make time for leisure on weekends, breaks, and at least an hour or two at the end of the day. Put enough rest time. You'll need it.  You are not a machine. So you need to "get recharged" and refreshed with enough energy for the next day's work.

Barbara Charline Jordan (February 21, 1936 – January 17, 1996) was an American politician from Texas. She served as a member of Congress from 1973 to 1979.\n\nJordan was born in Houston, Texas's Fifth Ward. Jordan attended Wheatley High School and graduated magna cum laude from Texas Southern University in 1956 and from Boston University Law School in 1959. She passed the Bar Exams in Massachusetts and Texas before returning to Houston to open a law practice.\n\nActive in the Kennedy-Johnson presidential campaign of 1960, Jordan wanted to be a part of the change. She unsuccessfully ran for the Texas House of Representatives in 1962 and 1964. Her persistence won her a seat in the Texas Senate in 1966, becoming the first African American state senator since 1883 and the first black woman to serve in that body. Reelected to a full term in the Texas Senate in 1968, she served until 1972.\n\nIn 1972, she was elected to the United States House of Representatives, becoming the first black woman from a Southern state to serve in the House. She received extensive support from President Lyndon Johnson, who helped her secure a position on the House Judiciary Committee.\n\nAfter winning reelection, in 1974, she made an influential televised speech before the House Judiciary Committee supporting the impeachment of President Richard Nixon. Her legislative accomplishments include the renewal of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and expansion of that act to cover language minorities. This extended protection to Hispanics in Texas which was opposed by Texas Governor Dolph Briscoe and Secretary of State Mark White. Her speech at the 1976 Democratic National Convention that is considered by many historians to have been the best convention keynote speech in modern history. She sponsored the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, legislation that required banks to lend and make services available to underserved poor and minority communities. Jordan retired from politics in 1979 and became a professor at the University of Texas at Austin Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. She again was a keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention in 1992. In 1995, Jordan chaired a congressional commission that advocated increased restriction of immigration and increased penalties on employers that violated US immigration regulations.\n\nIn 1973, Jordan began to suffer from multiple sclerosis. She began to have difficulty climbing stairs, started using a cane and eventually a wheelchair. She kept both her health and her lesbianism out of the press. Nancy Earl, her life partner for over twenty years, was her caregiver during her final illness and executor of her estate.\n\nJordan was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1994. It was only one of many honors given her, including election into both the Texas and National Women's Hall of Fame. On January 19, 1996, Jordan lay in state at the LBJ Library on the campus of The University of Texas at Austin. She was buried in the Texas State Cemetery in Austin, and was the first black woman interred there.

When doing a settlement with a credit card company will I get a 1099 for the remining balance?

I researched this a little bit.  \n\nIf the creditor decides to write off your debt, he can report it on his taxes as a "bad debt".  They are also required to fill out a 1099C. Normally a copy goes to bot the IRS and the consumer.  But many times the collector "neglects" to send you a copy.\n\nNow what?  You file your taxes, the government sends you a bill for the unpaid tax and/or any penalties.\n\nWorse...it could trigger an audit.\n\nDo the credit card companies send in 1099's regularly?  Don't know, still searching for data on it.


In Ontario, is there a law that forces you to pay a towing company if they towed your car from an accident?

Here in Pennsylvania, tow companies are given local contracts for vehicle removal from accident scenes and they can indeed charge you, or your insurance company, for the service. \n\nTechnically, unlike your lawn example, the service they provide to tow your car isn't to you - it's to the town/city/police by removing your car from the public's path, limiting their liability in case your disabled vehicle creates a danger to the public, and clearing the street.\n\nMost communities have statutes that allow for the forced removal of your property from roadways laned for traffic, most usually after accidents but occasionally for other reasons. (Abandoned cars, etc.)\n\nSo basically, if you leave your car or other property disabled for whatever reason on property owned by a state/county/city/town, they claim legal right to remove it and charge you for the pleasure.\n\n*** \nIf you're trying to find an actual statute to justify a bill, I'd start at the local level and work up. I don't think it would specifically be a traffic statute because this type of law/regulation usually covers the removal of ANY 'debris' from roadways, not just cars. Although, from my limited experience with their liability laws, I know Ontario is their own animal entirely! \n\nTry the municipality where the vehicle was towed, first; call up, explain what you're looking for, see where they can point you. Also, the tow company may have the statute on hand, especially if they run into people contesting bills. From the municipal level, work upward if you can't get a sufficient answer and KEEP NOTES! \n\nMy only concern is that unless you find a good basis to refuse payment for this sort of bill, the tow company in question could apply a mechanics lein against you which would add insult to injury and could result in legal action against you.  If you're contesting a bill, send the tow company something IN WRITING, requesting their legal basis for the right to bill you. If they have your car still, beware, they could be charging you daily storage just for having your vehicle on the property.\n\nBut I still think your best bet is to get on the phone. Good luck.


Yes, I have. He is an Indian shaman. He told me that his name should only be known to me and not to share it with others. I was involved in a serious vehicle accident while serving in the Army. The accident occurred north of El Paso, TX on a small military range in New Mexico. I was thrown from the vehicle as it flipped over. For the next 5 days, I was awake and talking in the hospital trauma ward. But, I have no memory of those 5 days. That is except for one thing. I had a re-occurring dream, or at least I thought it was a dream. I was standing out in the middle of the desert watching a burial take place. Next to me stood me spirit guide. We watched without saying a word as two men brought the body of a deceased man to a place in front of us. The mans body was carried on a man made stretcher made of wood & animal skins. The stretcher was placed on top of four - 6' long poles, one pole at each corner. Then the men moved away. The shaman and I would turn and look at each other now & then. Still no words were spoken. Then, another man walked over to the body with a torch in his hand. He set the body ablaze. We watched as the body was consumed by fire. It was then that I realised. The body on the stretcher...was me. This whole dream repeated itself time & time again until I finally awkoe from fog that my mnd was in due to the accident. The whole dream sequence was shown to me as a way to tell me that my life was beginning again and I would be going down a new path. I now refer to that time in my life as my "phoenix phase". Thank you to my guide for helping me through a difficult transition.

Connect wireless network windows 98 to xp?

Hi Dave.\n\nDoes the Win98 machine have a Wireless network card and can it get on to the Web via the wireless router?  If you are trying to share files between the XP machine and the Win98 machine wirelessly, the XP machine must have File and Printer Sharing installed and active for the wireless network interface.  \n\nTo see if that's the case, Go into My Network Places and right-click the wireless interface then choose Properties.  There should be a check mark next to File and PRinter Sharing.\n\nYou will have to do essentially the same thing on the Win98 machine.\n\nThe link below to the MS Knowledgebase may help you.\n\nGood luck.

are there walking shoes based on a sandal?

Check out Keen Footwear or Teva (see links below). They have some comfortable sandals that I've known people to wear on hikes of many thousands of miles!\n\nThere are also a lot of running shoes that are basically just mesh surrounding the foot. Asics makes a very lightweight, breathable running shoe, and Salomon has an "Amphibian" shoe that is completely made of mesh. Use a thin pair of socks (I recommend Wrightsocks) to help with the blisters.

Color Blindness is a recessive trait....?

Color Blindness is recessive and only found on the X chromosome.\nMales have XY, females have XX.\nSo, for a person to be color blind, they must have both alleles for color blindness. But, since it is only carried on the X chromosome, if a male's X chromosome has the allele for color blidness on it, he has it, since there is no other allele in the Y chromosome to cancel it out. However, on a female, she can have a color blind allele on one X chromosome and a normal vision allele on the other, which overpowers the recessive color blindness.\n\nIn this problem, for two people (a male and female) to have normal vision, but one of the sons is color blind, that means the father has a normal allele on his X, but the mother has one color blind allele on one of her X chromosomes. Since males only need one allele, this leaves the possibility that the mother gives her color blind allele to one son, but not to the other, with the father giving a Y to both. But for a girl, they would need two color blind alleles. The mother can give one, but the father's X chromosome holds the normal allele. This means every daughter in the family will have normal vision.
