Name the planets that can be seen with naked eyes?

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn AND Uranus (many people forget this one)\n\nWith a magnitude of 5.8, Uranus is visible with an unaided eye.\n\nIt is so faint, and moves so slowly, however, that it wasn't identified as a planet until after the telescope was invented.\n\nHowever, on a very dark night and if you know exactly where to look (and have good vision), Uranus is visible with the naked eye.


Yes, just wrap them around the hub a few times and they should stay put when you tune them.

How do you figure out the APR on credit cards that have multiple interest rates?

NOrmally, your credit card will have the following interests. One for purchases. One for cash advance. One for balance transfers.\n\nPurchases can have a promotional rate like 0% for the first 6 months of the card then it goes to Prime + xx%. Cash advances are normally 22% Balance transfers can be as low as 3% for the life of the balance depending on your credit history (both usage and payment) with your card company. You are correct, do not average them as it will only confuse you further. Treat them individually. The reason for the different rates is to "lure" you into spending much on the lowest interest segment, usually, balance transfers. While it is in your cardmember agreement in very fine print, all your payments will first be applied to the LOWEST INTEREST charges. When that is completely paid off then and only then will it apply to the second lowest and so on. Imagine you made a cash advance of $500 at 22% but have purchases of $700 at 17% and a balance transfer of $5000 at 3%. Until you are able to pay off completely the $5000, the $700 will continue to earn interest upon interest plus the $500 cash advance will rake in 22% month after month.\n\nMy advice to all is when you have a credit card with a low balance transfer rate, by all means use it for balance transfers only. Use another card to purchase goods. Or pay the balance off before doing a balance transfer.

which is the difference between a ganglion and a lymph node?

Usually in anatomy a ganglion is nerve tissue, a lump of cells from which nerves originate (trigeminal ganglion, for example). A visible or palpable ganglion is not something you encounter regularly, in contrast with lymph nodes. If you are absolutely certain that it is indeed a nerve ganglion, you should further investigate its causes. Palpable nerve tissue may be seen in familial diseases like von Recklinghausen syndrome (neurofibromatosis) or other diseases like amyloidosis. Depending on location and size it may also be a benign nerve tissue tumor. All of these are very rare and I wouldn't worry about it. \n\nHOWEVER: some doctors use the term ganglion to refer to swollen lymph nodes (as in lymphatic ganglion, see page below). I also think that the term ganglion is used to refer to lymph nodes in other languages, i.e. french. The rough meaning of the word "ganglion" (greek) is "knot" which is appropriate for both nerve tissue (typical usage) and some times for other tissue types. In that sense, ganglion refers to how it looks/feels, not to what it actually is.\n\nFinally, there is another type of ganglion that occurs in joints. As an example, several people, typists, for example, have a wrist ganglion from overuse of the hands. \n\nI do believe that in this case the terms were used interchangeably and your doctor really meant lymph node. Typically, the above posters are correct, ganglion is (usually) nerve tissue and is not a lymph node.

Does anyone know how i can find a church in my city?

Yes, centralized lubrication systems are quite common on mechanical punch presses as well as other large mechanical machinery.  Check the sources for manufacturers of such systems.  I'm almost certain that there's something made for your particular application.


yes, i used to have it. I had long beatiful hair at one time. But i pulled it all out and yeah i was completly bald. It was caused by stress. I was about 13 at the time. and had just told my parents about a very traumatic thing that had happened to me. So much was going on at the time, i guess that is the only way i felt i could deal with it. I didn't have control of the situation at all. and it was very hard on me, and hard to accept. But i hope things will get better for your daughter. They did for me. It took about 3 yrs. until it completely stopped for me. Now i have a full head of hair. and things are starting to look up for me. I wish the best for you and your daughter. Take care and God bless. If you want to know anything more about my experience, you can email me if you want.

The war on terror and the government's response to the threat of terrorism is, in my mind, the strongest echo of 1984 today. The limits on privacy and personal freedoms placed upon us by the Patriot act bring to mind the oppression imposed by Orwell's thought police. Furthermore, the doublespeak employed by the government is clearly an attempt at subtle propaganda. Political doublespeak has been prevalent for decades (if not centuries). This kind of "spin" doesn't just come from the government, but from corporations and the media as well.\n\nThe greatest difference between America today and the world of 1984, however, is the existence of vast communities of dissent that are openly flourishing today. Technology plays a large role in this, as independent viewpoints can be easily distributed to large audiences over the internet. The danger is that technology can be used by the government to increase oppression (NSA, anyone?), and if that happens, we would truly be heading toward an Orwellian world.

anybody know where i can get a good free antivirus that will actually clean my computer?

four good options:\n\nAVG Free, AVAST! Home Edition, AntiVir, and BitDefender Free Edition.  All provide on demand scanners;  BitDefender does not provide an always available background scanner, while the others do, making BitDefender a good complement to the others if you want a second antivirus engine that won't conflict with the first.

Who is/was the greatest professional basketball player of all time?

Wilt Chamberlain is the greatest player ever to play the game. Chamberlain set many records, including 100 points scored in a game (1962, against the New York Knicks) and 23,924 career rebounds. Dominating the game as few players in any sport ever have, Chamberlain seemed capable of scoring and rebounding at will, despite the double- and triple-teams and constant fouling tactics that opposing teams used to try to shut him down

Which is better and why?  The regular 10 mg. Claritin or the 10 mg. Zyrtec?

both zyrtec and claritin are non sedating antihistamines.  zyrtec is supposed to be the stronger of the two, also, allegra is the other drug in this catagory and is supposed to be the strongest.  anyway, each person reacts differently so which one works best for you can only be determined if you try each one.

Why do we say we are unique, but freak out when we're 'not like everyone else' ?

People want to believe they are one amongst themself but this isn't how they truly are in many cases.  People dare to be different because those who choose to dance to their own tune are often misjudged which isn't right.  \n\nBeing unique is often exaggerated but believing in who you are and respecting others for whom they are is what makes someone the individual that they really are.


the reason why it appeals to so many people is that everything on there is FREE--music, membership, blogs, page, HTML, etc. and they can make friends.  It brainwashes idiots so much that they give out too much personal info and crap so somebody can go rape them!  It's crazy, not good, especially if you're a girl.


How long should you wait before you get married?

That is a question that only you will know the answer to...it is a matter or where the two of you are in your lives.  If you know you are going to marry her someday then it is only a matter of finding the right time that will be memorable.  \n\nIn terms of have you been together long enough I would say yes based on what you said.  I know 4 different couples that got married less than six months from the time that they met and they are all still married.  The least ammount of time being ten years and the longest being thirty two years.  My adivce would be to do what is right for both of you and make sure that it is something that you will both remember.  I hope this helped


Why is metric spaces important to us? .. Please help again??

I think that the first thing to consider when approaching this question is how it directly fits into what you are familiar with:  The Real numbers.  The real numbers is a set and on that set we defined, back in grade school, a "distance function" mainly the distance from a to b is |a-b|.  A general metric space is a set (like the real numbers) and a distance function.  This distance function has some special properties in order to qualify the group to be a metric space:\n1) the distance is always greater or equal to 0\n2) the distance equals 0 if and only if the 2 points are the same\n3) something called the triangle inequality\n\nSo why are they important.  Clearly the real numbers are important right?  Well Metric spaces are just a generalization of that and are used in some abstract mathematics to describe other phenomena.  Topology makes heavy use of non-standard metric spaces.  Some problems are easier to solve what the real numbers and then a different distance function thus making it a different metric space.


I have gained alot of weight since my hysterectomy what is a good way to lose weight without hormones?

A gradual approach by increasing your metabolism will help you long term lose weight and keep it off.\n\nFor any weight loss program its important to understand how to increase your RMR or metabolism.  Your RMR or resting metabolic rate is the amount of energy you burn in your daily activities.  \n\nDo you know someone who can eat anything they want and  they are skinny as a rail even if they dont workout?  Well that person has a very high RMR.\n\nThere are several ways to increase metabolism but lets look at the factors that drive your metabolism RMR first. \n\n1. Genetics - you have very little control, but you are not a prisoner of your genes. \n\n2. Lean Muscle Mass - this one throws most people off because women think, oh no I dont want muscles and men think I guess I have to look like a body builder. Lean muscle mass is simply your weight minus the weight of your organs, bones, fluids and fat. You increase lean muscle mass primarily through eating properly, resistance exercise, and a lifestyle that doesnt promote catabolizing activites (smoking, heavy drinking and drug use)\n\n3. Frequency of meals - the more meals the more the metabolic processes take place in your body and the faster your metabolism.\n\n4. Water Intake - dehydration is a major drag on metabolism.\nMost people are dehydrated and they dont know it.\n\n5. Sleep - getting enough rest allows the body to function at a higher metabolic level.\n\nFor more information check my source.   It tells you more information than you even knew about your metabolism.  It  also goes into greater detail about different ways to speed your metabolism.\n\nhttp://www.jtfit.com/metabolism/


How does the length of marriage affect spousal support under California Law?

Under California law it does not matter how long you have been together regarding child support. It depends on how much each of you make and who gets custody. If you are the primary care giver, your child support is going to be paid according to how much time your ex-spouse spends with the kids. Also unless he adopted the child that is not the spouses biological child he does not have to pay any thing for the one child. As far as alimony goes once again it depends on income but since you have been married for 9 years you will only get it for four and a half years. The calculations are different from county to county as are some of the laws.

because he recieved a terrorist threat against his life when Pat Robertson called for his assassination on national television in the u.s.a. and none of our antiterrorism laws were used against Pat and the 700 clus still airs on television also because like the rest of the world excluding the United States Mr. Chavez witnessed the genocide of poor african americans on television during hurricane katrina police and soldiers were seen passing up black people begging for help and dying as they were ignored and white people were saved and thousands of bodies anonymously decaying on the streets with no attempts to bury them and read the reports of aid being refused to these people and his offer to donate millions of dollars,barrels of oil and medical personnel were refused by bush who claimed recieving his money would be dangerous but if recieving money from other countries is so dangerous why didn't america donate millions of dollars to iraq? you can check the news archives from england australia and other english speaking countries they were horrified at sight of the genocidal acts they witnessed on tv but somehow remained cencored from our free countries tv channels

How does the participation for weather affect your life?

In my opinion, weather is everything. People are creatures of leisure, we always strive to do something fun outdoors, and the only way we can do this is if the weather is good enough (sunny enough) to do so. Every-time someone looking forward to going on a trip, having a picnic, visiting friends and relatives, and to the simplest activity to do at home, mainly relies on a good sunny day to do it with. Weather affects us in so different ways that more accident happens when it is raining, cloudy days or prolonged overcast skies raise the feeling of depression, and in an adverse move to counteract depression, many individuals and couples tend to stay at home and do some simple chores, sleep more, or resort to some cozy romantic activities.

What should happen if Bonds breaks the HR record with steriod allegations lingering?

i don't like him cause he plays for the Giants (i'm a Dodger fan) but honestly as a REAL baseball fan, you really have to appreciate what he has accomplished. i mean whose to say Babe Ruth or Mickey Mantle or anyone else from the past didn't use steroids. besides steroids wasn't banned in baseball until just recently.


Please find a qualified therapist/counselor and get professional guidance.  They can help you understand how you got to where you are and therefore, how to move forward to change it.  \n\nI would also like to suggest a book that may be very helpful to you called: "Count Your Blessings", by Dr. John Demartini.  It is published in the U.S. (available at Amazon.com), but it may also be available in your country because Dr. Demartini now resides there part-time.  It is a wonderful book and can help you balance your perceptions about what happened to you.  \n\nOften we only see the negatives and fail to understand that even in the worst of circumstances, there are always positives that help balance things.  When we do manage to see the balance, that can help us to move forward and overcome the negatives - even terrible negatives.\n\nBest wishes and good luck!


The WELL of SELF DESTRUCTION? is it true?

Well, there are certainly people who make bad decisions. Good judgement seems pretty hard to come by these days.\n\nSome people may make bad decisions consciously - that is choose to make bad decisions. Other people might not even realize what they are doing to make bad decisions.\n\nThere are a lot of people who don't have very good judgement. If you've ever heard of fetal alcohol syndrome, that's an example of someone who may not have good judgement.\n\nYou deal with it by trying to recognize your own weaknesses in making good judgements. If the problem is with someone around you (not yourself) you try to be patient, love them, and help them to grow. It does not work to say "You are making a bad decision." But it can help to say, do you recognize that you make the same mistake repeatedly? What do you think you can do to make a different decision next time so you don't make the same mistake again?"\n\nGood luck.

How long is the enlistment term for the US Army?

Wow! I cannot believe the answers of these people who don't know what in the heck they are talking about here!!\n\nEVERY first enlistment into the Army is for EIGHT YEARS. Those 8 years are usually split into two categories - active duty years and individual ready reserve years.\n\nMy first enlistment was for 4 years. What this means is that I am required by contract to stay in the Army on "active duty" status for 4 years. Once those 4 years are up, I am placed on "individual ready reserve" status for the remaining 4 years. This means that although I have completed my 4 year active duty requirement, I am placed in a pool that can be recalled to active duty for the length of the individual ready reserve status.\n\n* If you initially enlist for 2 years active duty, you spend 6 years in individual ready reserve status.\n* If you initially enlist for 3 years active duty, you spend 5 years in individual ready reserve status.\n* And so on, and so on...

How does planning contribute to a businesses' success? What are the types of planning?

The success of a business is a matter of planning. \nA business plan enables you work out the viability of your business. \n\nIt also allows you to work out in advance how you will operate your business. \n\n\nPlanning is traditionally considered to be one of the four major functions of management, along with organizing, leading and coordinating/controlling. Simply put, planning is identifying where you want to go, why you want to go there, how you will get there, what you need in order to get there and how you will know if you're there or not. \n\nBusiness plans often conclude with a statement about profitability. \n\nA well made business plan should also help you set up business relationships with others. It will help you communicate the viability of your strategy to financiers, suppliers and government agencies. \n\nAnd once you have commenced, the business plan plots a course for you to follow in operating the business. \n\nObviously, any business can set up and operate without a business plan but it is darn good practice to have one. Managing your business with the assistance of a business plan is more likely to increase profitability and efficiency as well as contribute to the future development of the business. \n\n\n\nThe following are many of the types of plans generated in a business organizations.\n\n1.Strategic Planning (establish organizational goals and how to reach them)strategic planning determines where an organization is going over the next year or more, how it's going to get there and how it'll know if it got there or not. The focus of a strategic plan is usually on the entire organization, while the focus of a business plan is usually on a particular product, service or program.\n2.Business Planning (plan a new business organization, product, business department, etc.)Business planning is often conducted when:\nStarting a new venture (organization, product or service) \nExpanding a current organization, product or service \nBuying a current organization, product or service \nWorking to improve the management of a current organization, product or service .\n3.Project Planning (design and carry out a specific, one-time effort, eg, building, product, etc.)\n4.Program Planning (design and carry out a major, internal or external org'l function)\n5.Management-by-Objectives (comprehensive process to ensure organizational goals being met).\n\nThen there are other types of planning as well like Marketing Planning, Tactical Planning, Internal-control planning etc.

What is the true meaning of being Goth???

My friends are Goth (Japanese-inspired L0lita-goths), and imagine - Asian goths, how much more weird it would be for Asians to be goths? :D\n\nGoth culture includes the following: \n\n*unique music, art, and literature \n*black clothing, light makeup, and unusual hairstyles (I'm sure you've seen some of this, and you know the basics) \n*Fascination with medieval, Victorian and Edwardian history \n*Goths tend to be non-violent, pacifistic, passive, and tolerant. Many in the media have mistakenly associated Goth with extreme violence and hatred of minorities, white supremacy, etc. \n*Followers seem sullen and withdrawn, when in public; they are "happy and carefree in the company of [other] Goths." \n*"A lot of people turn to the Gothic subculture after having a hard time in school, feeling alienated, and looking for a way to express themselves that mirrors those feelings. Others find the scene through literature, still others want to be shocking, and some people just find black clothing slimming." 1 \n*Goth music often deals with thought-provoking topics, concentrating on societal evils, like racism, war, hatred of groups, etc. They tend to concentrate on the very "nasty, unhappy" topics that "North American culture" wants to "ignore and forget." \n*A fascination with death. They try "to find a different way of thinking about life, like trying to find beauty in life, pain and death. It's all a quest for immortality." 2 \n*Some Goths enjoy playing role playing games. However, RPGs are not an integral component of Goth culture. It is just that those intellectual and creative challenges that draw them to the Goth scene make them more likely to enjoy RPGs as well. \n\n\nGeez, that sounds like me. But I don't dress Goth. My parents would completely freak out! It's ok to have an inner goth though. ;)\n\nYou can start by wearing a wig. Or you can dye your hair temporarily to see how it's going to work.\n\nShort hair? No problem, throw on one of those frilly bonnets, wear the whole goth-dressing and fishnet hose with boots.\nDon't forget the pale make up (so cute!) and the deep dark eyes. It helps if you've got an obsession for vampires (many goths do! I love em', but not enough to go all goth because of vampires...however tempting ;P).\nAlso, accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! Spikes collars, spikes, piercings..!

I'm looking for info on what right I have with DYFS who got involved with my family after my baby died of SIDS

I'm terribly sorry for your loss.  Losing a child is difficult enough, and to have DYFS down your throats for it is unimaginable.  \n\nHowever, you have to understand why they're doing what they're doing.  When an infant dies for no obvious reason (that's basically what SIDS means), the state has to investigate.  I'm sure you didn't harm your baby, but if a parent were to, for example, smoother their infant with a pillow, it can be virtually indistingishable from SIDS.  So while it's unfair to parents whose child really did die of natural causes, I'm sure you can see that they want to be certain not to leave a parent who murdered their child alone with their other children.\n\nHere's the thing, the state can limit your contact with your children (as they've done to you), or even take them away entirely, without proving you've done anything wrong.  If that were the case you would be able to go before a family court judge and argue for the return of your children.  However, unlike in the criminal justice system where you are innocent until proven guilty, in family court you're guilty until proven innocent.  The parent (and his/her lawyer) has to prove he/she is a fit parent rather than the state proving they are not.  On the one hand it really sucks for people who are good parents and just have some bad luck, but on the other hand it allows the state to act quickly in real child abuse cases (under the criminal system it could take months or even years to remove children from an abusive home).\n\nYour best bet is to cooperate with their investigation as much as possible and do what you can to help it go quickly.  Also, you may what to hire an attorney to help you (although it would be cheaper to just wait it out a good lawyer might speed things up a bit).  Do be careful, though, not to get too defensive - you don't want to the social workers to start to think you're guilty (it will still all work out, but it might take longer).\n\nGood luck!


Hora is a Romanian (hora-singular; hore-plural), Israeli, and Bulgarian (horo-singular; hora-plural) traditional circle dance which gathers all people present in a big closed circle. The dancers hold each other by hands and the circle turns on itself usually clockwise as each participant follows a sequence of taking three steps forward and one step back.The dance is usually accompanied by musical instruments such as the cymbalum, the accordion, the violin, the viola, the double bass, the saxophone, the trumpet or even the panflute.\n\nHora is popular during wedding celebrations, popular festivals, and it's an essential part of the social entertainment in rural areas. One of the most famous horas is the Hora Unirii.\n\n Hora is the name for the large circle dance and is the most widespread dance in Romania, partly because any number of participants of both men and women, of any ability or age, can join in. The term Hora is also used for the Sunday village dance, even where the Hora dance does not form part of the dance cycle. In southern Romania and Moldavia Hora is the introductory dance to the dance cycle, whereas in Transylvania and Maramureş it is rarely performed at the village Hora. Hora is frequently performed as a ritual dance at weddings and funerals.\n\nThe most common hold in Hora has the hands joined at shoulder height and held slightly forward. The formation is a closed circle, apart from in some parts of Banat and north Oltenia where it is danced in an open circle with a leader who can take the dance into a spiral. This formation, with a leader, is typical of the Horo from Bulgaria and Oro from Macedonia. These southern Balkan versions are typically a 6 beat (qqSS) 3 measure phrase, whereas in Romania the basic Hora is a 4 beat (qqS) 2 measure phrase. However, the Horo from north west Bulgaria and the Sitno from north Bulgaria, where there is a large Romanian Vlach minority, have a similar form to the Romanian Hora.\n\nThere are several basic variants of Hora, particularly evident in the south of Romania. The dances within these variants often have specific names other than Hora. Hora mare (large Hora) is the most common version and can be danced at moderate and lively tempos. This is sometimes referred to as Hora mare dreaptă meaning "straight" hora in the same way that the Bulgarian versions are know as Pravo horo or Pravoto. Mostly these dances progress to the right, often with a diagonal forward and back path. A slower version called Hora lente (slow Hora) in the south and Hora mare Bucovineasca in north Moldavia has musical rhythms between 5/8 and 6/8.

High school education is designed to teach you the basics about the real world. The goal is to understandconcepts about history, simple math, proper english, foreign languages, etc. These are areas that the majority of people will have to deal with once they go out on their own.\n\nCollege education is advanced in that it helps you learn about all of the major aspects of a targeted career field that you may not find on your own.\n\nEducation in general is not intended to make you an expert but rather give you the tools and familiarities necessary to succeed in whatever area you decide to pursue. Education empowers students that have respect for it. If you find something you like doing, education can help you become better at it.\n\nThe question is not so much about what education does for students, but what students do with their education.

From a Christian standpoint, how do you deal with a Muslim that doesn't know much about Islam?

First of all, never tell someone what "they believe."  Just because the Quran teaches something doesn't mean that your friend believes it.\n\nSecond, ask him to teach you more about Islam while you teach him more about Christianity.  Don't "debate" him, but have an honest, sincere conversation.\n\nThird, and most importantly, love him.  Let him know you care.

How to add life with a boring routine especially with seemingly falling apart with your partner.?

It's a never ending battle to keep things exciting, isn't it? I am a firm believer that doing things together and doing things for each other (like making a nice dinner, buying a small gift, etc.) are keys too keeping a fun and loving relationship. Doing things you both can enjoy like: a hike, rock climbing, going to a concert/theater...whatever your interests are. Find something for both of you to do..I personally like playing sports or doing something active with my husband because it helps improve our "team work", and if you can work together while playing sports or something that requires a sort of team like atmosphere, then working on your relationship will be easier.\nEven something like doing yard work or cooking together can create a bond.\nGood luck, I hope this helps.

Deal or No Deal....do you think this show is likely to wreck relationships....?

I think that whether the couple wins a ton of money or loses it all it could potential ruin the relationship.

Then again, they could live happily ever after.  One never knows.

I guess it depends on who you are.  I'm almost 37 and I'm not old yet.\n\nI think some people are old and used up when they are still young, and others keep on growing and discovering themselves no matter how old they get.  The artist Georgia O'Keeffe was still producing amazing paintings in her 80's and 90's.  She kept herself relevant and productive.  It could be argued that when she died at almost 100 years old, that she died young...


What is the difference b/t Republican and Democrat?

Democrats believe that  we need big government to solve problems. Republicans believe people can solve problems if government will leave them alone and stop taxing them so much. Dem's are likely to believe unions are a good thing, Republicans are likely to believe that small businessmen are the backbone of our nation. Dem's want someone to take care of them. Rep want the chance to do for themselves. I hope this answer will help you to see the difference.

Christian Bumperstickers and other such displays of piety?

I am a Christian, however I find those types of displays lame, and probably going to make non-believers think we are losers.  Bumperstickers are pretty much lame.  Although I did see a Jesus fish once that actually had legs, and instead of saying "Jesus" below it, it said "Darwin".  Ok, that is even funny to me, why take these things serious?

how can i treat the sinusis,nothing is working?

have you ever used essential oils?\nYou can find them at your natural health food store, and you can also order them online.\nEucalyptus radiata and ravensara strengthen the respiratory system, open the pulmonary tract, and fight respiratory infection.\nAlso the oils clove, myrtle,thyme, rosemary, lemon, cypress, and lemongrass can help.\nThese are completely natural and work pretty quickly.\nA sinus blend would consist of 10 drops of peppermint, 5 drops of the eucalyptus radiata, and 2-3 drops of tea tree oil. Inhale 3-5 times daily.\nSome of the other answers you've been given would be helpful as well, but I know for a fact the essential oils are great for just about anything you have.\n\nHope you feel better soon.

What is the most money you have spent on a date?

You should be able to have a good time with ANY person you are attracted to.  If a person does not have money, it shouldn't be a deciding factor for you, if you truly enjoy being with him.  Go for walks , the movies, rent a movie, etc..  Being with the person who makes you happy is more important than where you are with that person.\n\nMoney doesn't make you a better person, and not having it doesn't either.  Unfortunately, it does make the practical side of things easier.  But it won't make you happy.\n\nI've spent as much as $300, on a date that included a pretty fabulous dinner, but that was a date with my girlfriend at the time, and so, I wasn't buying a "roll in the hay".  But, I have spent as little as $25 on a date and had the same good time with her.  It was her I wanted to be with, and the things we did together were really irrelavent.

if you're accessing your email through a web-based site, then you can first save that email as a webpage then burn the page and linked files trough a CD writer. \n\nif you're using an email client, hopefully you can save an email file as an eml format or if you're using outlook variants, save the inbox.dbx file to the CD.\n\nbrute force approach: copy the text to a word processor then save to the CD.

Welcome to OPP \n \nOPP® enables Europe's leading companies to optimise the performance of their people in order to improve organisational effectiveness. \n\nOpp is a city located in Covington County, Alabama. As of the 2000 census, the population of the city is 6,607.\n\nUS EPA Office of Pesticide Programs\n\nOffice of Polar Programs concerned with scientific research, and operational support of that research.\n\nThe Ontario Provincial Police/Police provinciale de l'Ontario\n\nOvine Progressive Pneumonia<<<\nOPP is caused by a lentivirus (lenti = slow), which is a member of a group of viruses called retroviruses (retro = reverse). This group of viruses; retroviruses, share a common characteristic in that they all utilize the hosts genetic machinery to replicate by incorporating their own reverse transcriptase enzyme. The retrovirus family of viruses cause slow progressive diseases that affect many species of animals and humans (AIDS). However, with some exceptions, most of these viruses are species specific (they only infect one or two closely related species). Experimentally, OPP has shown to infect goats. Lentiviruses can induce disease in many different organ systems and cause life long infections that may or may not cause death to the host. They do this by infecting and interfering with the host's immune system. This prevents the host immune system from clearing the infection, and makes it extremely difficult for scientist to develop vaccines for these viruses. Although studies show conflicting results, some breeds of sheep appear to be more susceptible than others to developing clinical signs to OPP virus, and some strains of the virus probably cause a more severe form of the disease. Sheep of the Texel, Border Leichester, and Finnish Landrace breeds appear to develop more frequent and more severe forms of the disease than do Columbia, Rambouillet, and Suffolk breeds. All breeds of sheep are susceptible to OPP viral infection. \n>>> PREVALENCE\nWith the exceptions of Australia and New Zealand OPP is present in all major sheep producing countries. In North America, infection is common in all breeds, sexes, and ages of sheep. Antibodies to OPP are not protective against the disease; therefore if an animal has antibodies to OPP after six months of age then they are considered infected with the OPP virus and are carriers of the virus. In the Western United States States, antibodies to the virus are more frequently found than in other parts of the United States. This could be do to the fact that there are more sheep in the Western United States than in other areas of the U.S.. It has also been proposed that incidence of the disease increase with the intensity of the operation; i.e. farm flocks may have a higher incidence of infection than range flocks. \n>>> CLINICAL SIGNS & ASSOCIATED LESIONS\nIn the early stages of infection no clinical signs of disease are apparent. This is because of the nature of the virus as discussed above. In fact, most animals do not exhibit clinical signs of disease. However, those animals that do exhibit clinical signs usually are at least two or more years of age. The clinical signs can manifest in many different ways and can be attributed to involvement of one or more organ systems. Often the clinical signs are accentuated by times of stress such as lambing. \n>>> EARLY STAGES OF INFECTION\nAs stated before most animals do not exhibit signs of infection until two years of age. One of the most apparent clinical signs first noticed by producers is a general loss of body condition. This is often referred to as "thin ewe syndrome." The weight loss progresses in the face of a normal appetite. The exact pathophysiology of this ill thrift is not understood, but it should be understood that it is not limited to ewes. \n>>> RESPIRATORY TRACT INVOLVEMENT\nInvolvement of the respiratory tract during the course of disease is common. The resp


how big of a difference in quality is there between, say, a $1000 bike and a $250 one?

I would never buy a bike from a department store.  I don't generally like buying dishes or lamps with the purchase of a bike.  \nMy current bike is worth more than my car.  I'm not saying you should do the same, but buying from a bike shop gives you some advantages like you find when buying a car, as in, you can negotiate the price and the fixings that can come along with the bike.  \nMy bike is a very sound peice of machinery, but if I bought a 250 dollar bike I would worry about the workmanship.  I wouldn't want to be riding down the street and have a tire pop off!\nThe price of the bike should reflect your expectations and dedication.  How much time do you plan to spend on your bike?  You can be sacrificing comfort when spending cheap.  If you're not even sure yet if you like this sport or not then don't go expensive, and then later on when the obsession comes you can go out and spend the arm and a leg for a better bike and keep the first one as a back up or save it for rides where you intend to get rough and dirty.  \nThere really is a lot of difference between an expensive and a cheap bike, but I guess which one to purchase really comes down to what you plan to do with it.  I'd say 50 or less miles a week could be done with a walmart brand bike.  I can easily ride over a 150 miles in any given week and would Never think of sacrificing my ability to save a few dollars.\nHere's something you could go by:  if you plan to wear spandex then buy the 1000 dollar bike, only serious riders could wear spandex comfortably.  No spandex: go with the 250 dollar one.

how do i configure a fire wall for my wireless router?

It's not exactly a firewall, but your router is running something called network address translation. This means that the router has a real IP address on the Internet and your computer has a private address (often 192.168.1.x). Since your PC no longer has a valid address on the Internet, this effectively blocks Internet traffic from accessing your PC directly.\n\nThis is great because it blocks some viruses and other unwanted traffic, and it lets multiple computers use the same internet connection with one real address. However, it also may block some things you want - such as games and P2P file sharing. Don't worry, there is a solution. What you need to do is to configure port forwarding on the linksys router (assuming you haven't changed any settings, it can be accessed through your web browser at http://192.168.1.1 with the logon name "admin" and password "password").\n\nClick on "Advanced" and go to "Forwarding". This screen will show a table of External Port, Protocol, IP Address, and a checkbox to enable each one. You'll need to setup mappings for each software application.\n\nFor example, the mapping for bearshare should be as follows:\nName: Bearshare\nExt Port: 6346\nProtocol: Check both the boxes for TCP and UDP\nIP Address: The IP address of your computer (to get this, go to start, run, type "cmd" and click ok, and type in "ipconfig" on the command prompt)\nEnable: Check this box\n\nFor online games, check this page to find out which ports you need to open:\nhttp://www.gameconfig.co.uk/\n\nIf you have questions on any other application, the best way to find out what settings you need are to google for the name of the application and the word "ports". The help files also often have information about how to setup your router.

What type of problems is it?,,, is it in the way you are studying or in the college you are studying in or what?


One of my professors told me this. He said to study for your exams during the day. If you have an exam on Friday, study Wednesday, sleep well on Thursday, and then study a little more on Friday before the test. This is supposed to help refresh you. If you're going through exam week, do the same thing, just try to focus harder on your studying. Don't stress too much, though. I took a final last year and I was so worried that I cried and stayed up studying all night. I made a 100 on my final, but I was so sick from my nerves. As long as your study for at least two hours and you do your best, you're probably going to do fine.

Do you think the United States will declare war on Iran?

It takes congress to officially declare war, but that doesn't seem to stop many presidents.  They send troops to an undeclared war whenever they feel like it.  My own feeling is that we should, as a government, stay out of foreign wars.  If individual American citizens feel strongly about a foreign war and want to go volunteer for service in a foreign army, they should have the right (assuming no war has been declared and they are on the other side).  But our own army should be purely defensive, and purely to defend our own country.  We have allies with whom we have made defense agreements, but I think that is ill-considered.  We should offer our allies material and technical help, and volunteers only.

I imagine that you could find Muslims in just about every culture.  There are lots of countries where Muslims make up the majority, or a large minority.  Indonesia has the largest Muslim population.  There are distinct Muslim cultures in China, India, and in many African countries.\n\nSee this link:\n\nhttp://www.aneki.com/muslim.html\n\nThere are Sunni Muslims, which is the majority.  There are also Shi'ites who have a huge population in Iran.  The Kurds have a distinctive Islamic culture.\n\nI hope this helps at least a little!\n\n\nHere's another cool site, showing different Muslim cultures in Africa:\nhttp://www.islamonline.net/English/In_Depth/MuslimAfrica/index.shtml

where can i learn more about healing touch in minneapolis minnesota?

You really don't need to find a practitioner in Minneapolis.  TP is total BS/bunk.  The only supporting evidence for it is anecdotal evidence.  You get similar results with sham treatments (placebo).\n\nA few years ago, a fifth grader did a study for her science fair that examined some of TPs claims.  She concretely showed that some of TPs claims are blatantly false.  She demonstrated that TP practitioners were totally unable to detect energy fields.\n\nBefore you go and find a Healing Touch Practitioner and try to learn about this unscientific, bogus concept.  Please read up on what research has found about it.  I've included some link below that present a better view of "reality".

Originally, the word "umbles" referred to the internal organs of animals.  Many years ago, only the royals were allowed to hunt on the royal grounds.  They would take the choice meat from the animals that they killed and leave the internal organs for the peasants or poor people.  Therefore, "eating humble pie" is the equivalent of eating the umbles of the animals.  It refers to being lesser than the others.  When someone is "eating humble pie", he is making himself lesser than he was, or making amends for earlier actions.

How Do you convert Mens Shoe Sizes to womens?

As a general rule, converting men's to women's shoe sizes is fairly simple - you would subtract two sizes from your U.S. women's size to find the appropriate size in U.S. men's shoes.\n\nFor example, if you wear a size 8 in U.S. women's shoes - you would most likely take a size 6 in U.S. men's.

What does it mean when you see 222, 333, 444 every day in many different places?

The human eye is naturally attuned to seeing patterns in your environment -- in motion, in background, etc.  This was an important survival skill for our primitive ancestors who needed to be able to recognize a tiger hiding in the undergrowth before the tiger recognized them.\n\nNowadays we tend to separate out significant or otherwise interesting patterns from the background clutter, and because we take note of these more than the rest, we tend to think them significant.  Try an experiment and write down EVERY number you see for an entire day, and then figure out if there are any odd patterns.  This means EVERY time you look at the clock, every number you see on the television, every license plate, etc.\n\nChances are you'll see that you're actually viewing thousands of uninteresting numbers each day, but only taking note of the repeating ones.  On the other hand, if you are seeing more repeating patterns than by random chance, then yes, it could mean something very interesting indeed.\n\nOtherwise, it's just you  :)

Hmmm.. People have been measuring time since antiquity. At first they used the position of the sun in the sky (or the stars at night) and the variations due to the seasons. Water clocks were often used in antiquity also, but they were not very accurate.\n\nMechanical clocks of reasonable accuracy became possible after 1200 with the invention of what is called the 'escapement mechanism', but at that time an accuracy of within an hour over a month was good.\n\nGalileo used a pendulum to control the accuracy of clocks about 1600 and this, with the escapement mechanism lead to a greatly improved accuracy then. Several modifications were made for the next century or so and by the middle 1700s the accuracy was within one second over a few months. This lead to the solution of the 'longitude problem'.

Historical answer- White Women (at least in the US) were up-held as extremely desirable, pure, and unobtainable (punishable by death) through the civil rights movement 1950-60's.  Thus having a white women became a status and power symbol.\n\nSociological answer- Black Women in the US are not held up as symbols of beauty.  Though it is starting to change the ideal beauty is still someone who is fair with straight or slightly wavy hair (EG. Halle Berry)  Black women are allowed to be funny, care-givers, demanding, and militant.  Since all who live in the US are in-culturated this way it seems natural that Black men would also want to date White Women.\n\nThere are also all of the stereotypes attached: Black women are more demanding and difficult, white women are easier to get into bed, black women won't please a many orally, white women are more submissive.  Though I do think all sterotypes came from somewhere, I think most of these are untrue.\n\nThe truth of the matter is it's all individual.  Each Black man you see with a white woman has his own reason for being with her; be it a genuine intrest in the person she is, or trying to prove something to himself or society.


Isnt it against facts? for Muslims! please read details before answering?

Quran states Dhul-Qarneyn saw sun setting in a muddy spring, meaning there was a large spring with unclear water where the sun was setting. \n\nDoesn't teachers teach that sun rises in east and sets in the west. Is it because the teachers do not know science or is it because that is how people on earth observe it ?\n\nScientific knowledge of early muslims may not be correct like many early people. but this verse has nothing unscientic but it is an expression to say sun rises and sun sets\n\nRegarding the second verse 36:38 you mentioned, we all know Sun along with the solar system is not stationary but they also moves along an orbit, when and where this orbiting stops God only knows. So resting place refers to final destination of Sun when World ends. Quran uses the word 'Swim' to refer to motion of sun and moon, indicating rotation and also revolution\n\nNow what about science in bible ? \nSee Joshua 10 : 12,13.\nhttp://cgi.godsview.com/cgi-bin/rcdenig/kjvread.pl?book=6&chapter=10\nIt is stated that Sun was stopped in the sky to prolong the day, so that enemies could be avenged. If bible is scientifically correct, isn't it the rotation of earth that has to be stopped to prolong the day ?


My son(10) is a diehard atheist and I am getting flak from parents.Suggestions?

your mother is very irrational, letting your son chose his own path is just fine.  You didn't teach him to be an atheist, that was his own choice.  You hardly corrupted him, if this atheism thing is the only thing your mother believes went wrong.  She is blaming you for HIS actions, this should not be, because it is NOT your fault.  Tell her that no one can force religion on anyone, and more than likely he may have rejected christianity regardless. Most importantly, whatever your mom says, do not blame yourself, you have done nothing wrong... it is just her own distoreted perception.

how many liters of blood has the human body?

Most sources state the volume of blood in an average human adult, who is between 150 to 160 pounds, as between 4.7 and 5 liters, although the more recent sources state the volume of blood in an average adult as 4.7 liters. Sources state that an 80-pound child had about half that amount, and an 8-pound infant has about 8.5 ounces. People who live at high altitudes, where the air contains less oxygen, may have up to 1.9 liters more blood than people who live in low altitude regions

ppm = parts per million = a/1000000\n% = parts per hundred = b/100\n\nLet's say there are n ppm(parts per million)\nn ppm\n= n/1,000,000\n\nTo convert to percent, the denominator should be 100\nWhat will you multiply to n/1000000 to make it n/100?\nThe answer is 10000.


How can I access to a person who knows about the braches of electronics ?(communication,computer,electronics)?

What exactly do you want to know? And, how much education do you have, or are willing to pursue?\n\nI haven't heard back about what field you want to pursue, but I will share some information that you might find interesting.\n\nFirst, there are A LOT of different branches of electronics. Even in microelectronics, which is my field, there are analog microelectronics and digital microelectronics. My speciality is analog microelectronics. It's harder to learn analog microelectronics, but the pay is much better and the demand for these kind of engineers is high when compared to digital microelectronics.\n\nIt really boils down to how good you are in math, science, and physics. A BSEE takes four years of college. A MSEE, which I have, can take another three to four years after your BSEE. Don't pursue a Ph.D unless you plan to teach in college, or limit yourself to being hired by only the large corporations (HP, Intel, etc) or the government. It's very hard to find employment if you have a Ph.D.\n\nAlso, think carefully, or ahead actually, about where you would like to live. Being an engineer like me restricts where you can live. I'm saying this compared to a teacher, a doctor, or even an accountant.\n\nIf you don't want to spend four years in college, but still want to pursue something in electronics, you can get an associate's degree (2 years) from a local community college. However, after getting a job, see if you can get tution reimbursement and pursue your BSEE. You'll get a lot more money if you do and you'll be more marketable.

A film is advertised as 'Sick, Twisted, Disgusting... and Brilliant'?

It says that humans like horror movies and can tell the difference between fantasy and reality.
