Why can a person run on thin ice (over a pond), but cannot stand on it?

First, think about it.  When you run over ice, you are placing a small amount of pressure (force per area) over a limited surface.  The force is a small in the amount of time.\n\nWhen you stand on the ice, you are placing your body mass over a larger surface.  The only force acting on the ice is gravity.  Therefore, the gravitational force is greater than the forces that forms the ice.\n\nKeep in mind that there is a limit to the force.  A small child weighing 80 to 100 pounds may be able to run across the ice.  An adult male weighing 200 lbs or more may not be able to run across the ice.  \n\nI have assumed that you are asking about running over the ice in flat shoes (sneakers or boots, no heels).  A pair of ice skates may give different answer.\n\nI recall that when I was a child, the general rule was 3-4 inches of ice is reasonably safe to play.  However, do not hold me to that rule.  \n\nI hope this helps.


Do cheerleaders usually marry players on the team?

NFL teams and cheerleading squads have strict policies against dating each other. So, unless they break the rules, I'd say the chances are about .01%.


Are there any racing dirt tracks in Alabama if so where?

In my neck of the woods (NW corner of the state) there are a couple of smaller tracks that are pretty good. One is located one mile south on Hwy 247 from the intersection of Hwy 72 in Colbert county near Cherokee. The other is located at Moulton in Lawrence county. If I remember correctly, they usually run one or two weekends a month from the early spring until late fall. There is another one in Columbus MS that is really good also. Races consist mostly of local area guys but occasionally there will be an event that brings in the open wheel cars and other big name racers with high dollar cars.

Will the internet sap or amplify the intelligence of future generatons?

Well, unless I need to do a research paper with confirmable and accurate sources, I don't go to a library.  In fact in the last year I have probably been to a library all but twice and I have no idea how to use a card catalog or the what is it, dewey decimal system which doesn't and never did make any sense.  If I need to look something up for myself 10 times out of 10 I will be doing a search on Google.  If I want to read the news, that's right, off to Google News I go.  I think it has made people lazy in the fact that they no longer have to go anywhere to get the information they need.\n\nI would say it makes finding answers much easier and I don't know about others but in some cases I end up learning something I didn't know and I became more interested in the subject and searched for more information about it.

United States\n\n\nRestaurant bills usually don't include service charges, although some establishments may include them for large parties -- usually six people or more. For good service, it is customary to tip 15 to 20 percent. Bellhops and porters usually receive $1 to $2 per bag -- more if your bags are heavy.\n\n\n Taxi drivers are tipped 10 to 15 percent of the fare.

why some US soldiers in Iraq treat people like animals?

I have a brother in the Marines and he is in Iraq, so I know the comradery that exists between members of the corps and doubless in the army as well.  If you were to watch as your buddy get's killed or maimed by someone, and then were given the job of guarding that man in prison, I find it hard to believe that you would treat that person as well as our Marines and soldiers are treating the people they nab.  People that are always going on about how badly our boys are behaving need to get a life.  They are giving their all to keep this country safe from terror attacks, and the least we can do is give them moral support.  If that is too much to ask, at least shut up about all the criticism.


i have a dead motherboard model emperial_gv.  who makes it and what is their phone number in america?

The digital divide is the socio-economic difference between communities in their access to computers and the Internet. The term also refers to gaps between groups in their ability to use ICTs (Information and Communications Technologies) effectively, due to differing literacy and technical skills, and the gap in availability of quality, useful digital content. The divide is seen as a social/political problem. It became an issue among concerned parties, such as scholars, policy makers, and advocacy groups, in the late 1990s.\n\nBroadly speaking, the difference is not necessarily determined by the size or depth to the user, but any ICTs and media that different segments of society can use. With regard to the Internet, the simple access is only one aspect, but the quality of connection and auxiliary services, processing speed and other capabilities of the computer used, and other factors could also be part of the issue (Davison and Cotten, 2003), although one doesn't need even a personal computer to connect to the Internet (see also MSN TV, Webphone, PDA, mobile phone).

How did Santa Claus go from being a person to what he is today?

Saint Nicholas and the Origin of Santa Claus print version \n\n\n\nBishop St. Nicholas, early American St. Nick, & American Santa, from Santa Claus Comes to America, by Caroline Singer & Cyrus Baldridge, Alfred Knopf, 1942  \n\nHow did the kindly Christian saint, good Bishop Nicholas, become a roly-poly red-suited American symbol for merry holiday festivity and commercial activity?\n\nThe first Europeans to arrive in the New World brought St. Nicholas. Vikings dedicated their cathedral to him in Greenland. On his first voyage, Columbus named a Haitian port for St. Nicholas on December 6, 1492. In Florida, Spaniards named an early settlement St. Nicholas Ferry, now known as Jacksonville. However, St. Nicholas had a difficult time during the 16th century Protestant Reformation which took a dim view of saints. Even though both reformers and counter-reformers tried to stamp out St. Nicholas-related customs, they had very little long-term success; only in England were the religious folk traditions of Christmas permanently altered. (It is ironic that fervent Puritan Christians began what turned into a trend to a more secular Christmas observance.) Because the common people so loved St. Nicholas, he survived on the European continent as people continued to place nuts, apples, and sweets in shoes left beside beds, on windowsills, or before the hearth.\n\n\n"New Year's Hymn to St. Nicholas," colonial Dutch life, Albany, NY. Harper's New Monthly Magazine, March 1881\nSt. Nicholas Center Collection  \nColonists came to America after the Reformation in the 1500s. They were primarily Puritans and other Protestant reformers who did not bring Nicholas traditions to the New World. What about the Dutch? Although it is nearly universally reported that the Dutch did bring St. Nicholas to New Amsterdam, scholars find limited evidence of such traditions in Dutch New Netherland. Colonial Germans in Pennsylvania held the feast of St. Nicholas, and several accounts do have St. Nicholas visiting New York Dutch on New Years' Eve. Patriots formed the Sons of St. Nicholas in 1773, not to honor Bishop Nicholas, but rather as a non-British symbol to counter the English St. George societies. This St. Nicholas society was similar to the Sons of St. Tammany in Philadelphia. Not exactly St. Nicholas, the children's gift-giver.\n\n\nDetail from First Celebration of the Festival of St. Nicholas by The New-York Historical Society, Broadside by Alexander Anderson, December 6, 1810, commissioned by John Pintard, SY 1864-21, negative number 28883 Used by permission \nAfter the American Revolution, New Yorkers remembered with pride the colony's nearly-forgotten Dutch roots. John Pintard, influential patriot and antiquarian, who founded the New York Historical Society in 1804, promoted St. Nicholas as patron saint of both society and city. In January 1809, Washington Irving joined the society and on St. Nicholas Day that year he published the satirical fiction, Knickerbocker's History of New York, which made numerous references to a jolly St. Nicholas character. This was not a saintly bishop, rather an elfin Dutch burgher with a clay pipe. These delightful flights of imagination are the origin of the New Amsterdam St. Nicholas legends: that the first Dutch emigrant ship had a figurehead of St. Nicholas; that St. Nicholas Day was observed in the colony; that the first church was dedicated to him: and that St. Nicholas comes down chimneys to bring gifts. Irving's work was regarded as the "first notable work of imagination in the New World."\n\nThe New York Historical Society held its first St. Nicholas anniversary dinner on December 6, 1810. John Pintard commissioned artist Alexander Anderson to create the first American image of Nicholas for the occasion. Nicholas was shown in a gift-giving role with children's treats in stockings hanging at a fireplace. The accompanying poem ends, "Saint Nicholas, my dear good f

They aren't the same thing.  Racism is a form of prejudice - while prejudice can entail any number of factors.  Its like asking are apples and fruit the same thing - apples are a kind of fruit, but fruits represent a lot more than simply apples.\nPrejudice can be founded on any number of irrational beliefs, not simply racialist ones...


Why do you want to buy a secondary house? is the house you live in right now, not good for you?\n\nIn the UK, investors who have enough spare cash to purchase a secondary house; for instance in a popular UK holdiay destination, have managed to increase the house prices in that area to such an extent, thats its impossible for locals to actually live there. \n\nThey can not afford to buy. Yes, they may be able to rent, but they will never actually own a house, because 'investors' have increased the house prices beyond what the locals can afford. \n\nWhy not just buy a better house for yourself instead?

if someone is being charged w/murder will they be able to get off?

Murder is a criminal offense and as such the accused must be proven guilty in a court of law beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of his/her peers.  The burden of proof is on the prosecution and the accused does not have to testify.  The accused is entitled to representation by an attorney who will ensure that only admissible evidence is presented and also will cross-exam prosecution witnesses to shake their story and credibility.\n\nThe accused may get off if shown to be innocent, if evidence fails to prove guilt and sometimes on a technicality, such as unreasonable search without a warrant.\n\nOnly an attorney can advise an individual regarding the law.

Why is it that people in today's society care nothing for virtue or values and how can we go about fixing it?

This is a nice question...i have though about it many times. The reason todays society because people are more hung on science than religion. Religion seems to be a sentiment as it has no scientific proof and science has not developed that far that it can say there exits something beyond this world  and yes we are eternal(spirit souls) and we just dont die once we die. So no one cares for ethics.\n                             We need to bring transformation , atfirst withen ourselves then our family members and then the society this is the only way to bring change.


Is it possbile for each month, day, year and time have a distinct frequecny that could be used for time travel

no. time is continuous, the intervals we use to measure it are just for our own measurement so we can compare it to itself and see how much of it has gone by.  There can be infinite intervals of time.  For example a second, a millisecond (.001s) a nanosecond(.000000001s) and you can always move the decimal one place more, making an infinate number of intervals for time, and therefore an infinate number of 'frequencies.' also, frequency is a characteristic of a wave, and time is definately not a wave.  And if there was a way for time travel, it would involve insanely fast velocities due to velocity distorting time as I have described in an answer to your previous question...

i cant burn my limewire music files to a cd WHY?

Did you listen to each song to make sure it was complete before you burned the CD? Sometimes only partial songs are offered on limewire. I always listen to each song and MAKE SURE that the files are compatible with my CD burning program before burning. I suggest using Gold Wave - a great program - you can edit songs - make them louder or softer - delete long fades - save as a different file type - it's awesome. Hope this long winded diatribe helped!


wht is a microbend and macrobend in optics?

They are two types of fiber optics cable bending that can cause signal losses.  Microbends are small microscopic bends of the fiber axis.  Macrobends are relatively larger than microbends. Microbending can still occur even if the fiber is cabled correctly. If fibers are bent too sharply, macrobend losses will occur.

Puka-Puka, is a coral atoll in the northeastern Tuamotu Archipelago, sometimes included as a member of the Disappointment Islands. It is located at 14° 49' S. lat. and 138° 48' W. long.\n\nThe low coral islands are dry and sparsely populated: according to the 2002 census, the total population was 197. The chief town is Te One Mahina, with about 110 inhabitants.\n\nUnlike the rest of the Tuamotus, the language of the islands, Pukapukan, is Marquesic.\n\nPuka Puka was the first of the Tuamotus sighted by Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. The islands were devastated by a typhoon in 1996, however, with French assistance, Te One Mahina has been rebuilt.

The Earth has been slowing down since it was formed. This is mainly due to the breaking effects of the Moon.\n\nFor example, 600 million years ago, in the Cambrian Period, the length of each day was 21 hours. The year doesn't change, so there were 420 days in every year.\n\nThis shorter day can be directly measured because some corrals actually laid down daily layers which (under a microscope) can be measured. By comparing these with seasonal variations we can directly measure the length of the day back then.\n\n\n\nThe length of a year has not changed. Only some sort of catastrophic event (like the Sun passing extremely close to another star) would alter it. And such a change would likely lead to the end of all life on Earth and maybe even the end of the planet.\n\nOf course such an event is due in a few billion years when the Sun enters the Red Giant phase... but we don't have to worry about that now.\n\n\n\nAs for the next part of your question "is this being figured into carbon dating" The answer is no.\n\nFirst carbon dating only works with items which are relatively recent. The range at which it is useful for is object which are about 200 - 50,000 years old. (Note the lower limit - often a creationist will say that "this penguin died yesterday and Carbon dating says it's 5000 years old!" - other than creationists. no one says it works for something that died recently.)\n\nOther sorts of radioactive dating methods are used for items which are millions and billions of years old.\n\nIn these dating scenarios no one worries too much about the change in the length of the day. Since the length of the year is not changing that is all the matters.


do every reaction to deliver energy release heat?

Some systems actually cool as they deliver power.  A rubber band is most common example I can think of.  If you expend energy to stretch a rubber band, it actually heats up, but it cools slightly as it contracts, which could potentially power some small device like a toy car.  Why this occurs is a little complicated, but the exact same principle of entropic cooling is used to achieve the lowest temperatures currently possible.\n\n***Response to first answerer***\nWhat basic law of motion are you talking about?  The second law of thermodynamics? Because that deals with entropic differences, and doesn't apply. The "laws of motion" aren't even relevant to this thermodynamics question.  \n\nI used the example of a rubber band because it is a clean example of entropic cooling, but in fact ANY  heat engine will result in a decrease in thermal energy of the system. It's true that there is some heat produced from friction in the engine, but on a whole more MORE heat flows into the engine than flows out.  The average temperature of the system decreases. That's why we can use heat engines to power things.


should someone marry to establish onself?

Hey good question!  A few years ago I would have said ABSOLUTELY NOT!  But... I just recently had a planned baby with my boyfriend of almost 6 years, and I'm starting to rethink my previous thoughts! lol  Whenever I talk about my "boyfriend" I sorta feel like I'm in highschool, again.  Taking the baby to the doctor as often as babies need to brings up the fact that Patrick's daddy is only his mommy's "boyfriend".  It's weird.  I'm gonna be 35, and this simple word is making me feel as though I am not as mature as I need to be.  Silly thoughts, I know.  But in order to establish onself, I say you only need your charisma and confidence.  Loyalty and trust go a long way, as well.  You don't need a ring on your finger to say, " I am what I am!".  If you decide not to marry- woohoo!  In today's world, marriage is almost a thing of the past.


DO YOU THINK THAT JESUS WAS REALLY MARRIED TO MAGDALENE?

Why is everyone saying "It's just a fictional book"?? The speculation that Jesus was married to Magdalene has been around a lot longer than Dan Brown. He wasn't the one to create the idea. \n\nAccepted Christian sources (i.e. the Bible) don't suggest one way or the other. I suspect that he was married. But whether he was or wasn't doesn't seem real important compared to everything else about him and what he did and continues to do. \n\nP.S. Jesus was a party animal? Where did you get that from? It's hard enough to prove the authenticity of much of the bible, so whatever your source, good luck backing it up. The whole whipping sequence in the Temple is a different matter. That is called the wrath of God--something we often like to forget since the unconditional love of God is what we like to think God is all about.


production possibility frontier for perfect substitutes like coke & pepsi?

The production possibility frontier for perfect substitutes would look like a straight line with slope of negative one, with major spikes at the axes. This corresponds to the fact that producers are most efficient when they choose to produce one or the other. \n\nIf the producer has to make a switch between producing one then the other, it doesn't matter if the producer splits coke & pepsi 10%/90%, 50%/50%, or 70%/30% - she produces the same total cola, and spends the same time making the switch.\n\nBy producing only one of the two, she can convert the resources lost to the process of switching to the production of cola, thereby maximizing her product.\n\nOf course, the market demands these alternatives (coke & pepsi aren't exactly perfect substitutes, there are plenty of people who will only drink one and not the other), so there will always be some producers producing coke and some producing pepsi. In the case of cola, diminishing marginal product is not really the constraint on production, it is the diminishing marginal value of consumers. For this reason, we may observe some producers in small markets choosing to produce both substitutes and choosing to allocate the resources to the switch.

Where is the best place to safely learn how to swim?

You should find an American Red Cross Learn to Swim Program. Most local pools and athletic clubs offers swim lessons to adults and children. Ask if their instructors are American Red Cross certified. That means they are proficient in each skill and stroke, as well as have been trained in how to teach swim lessons to all ages.


You can get STD's that functionally block the passage of blood, but nothing that will stop the signal from your brain to the ovaries telling it to stop.  \n\nGential warts can get so big that they obstruct the flow of blood out of the vagina.  \n\nPelvic inflammation from Pelvic Inflammatory Disease can totally destroy things that you might not have functional ovaries, but this is a long shot.  \n\nEssentially, for a general answer - No.  It wont effect your period\n\nChances are - if you have a STD, you had unprotected sex, and might also be pregnant.  That would stop the period and is probably a more likely etiology.


do u play runescape and if u do then what do u think of it like its grafiscs and everything?

<OPINION>Welcome to RuneScape, or MMORPG's for that matter.  RuneScape isn't the sort of game where the community will be dieing to help you.  Demographics have shown at earlier times that RuneScape is mostly pre-teen males.  According to my knowledge, it is still that way now.\n\nAlso RuneScape is not 'intellectually' challenging -- Just time-consuming. \n\nThink of it this way... Children, playing a game, on the internet...  It's a cocktail for disaster.  The community is arrogant, rude, and self-centered.  The chances of you finding altruistic/selfless people to help you in this game are slim to none.\n\nPeople will insult you, ignore you, make fun of you, scam you, lie to you, all with litter remorse.  Why?  It's the internet, and they are mean kids.  They don't care.  Half of them can't even spell correctly for goodness sakes.</OPINION>


what is the difference between pentium 4 processor and pentium d processor? what is better for everyday useage

Pentium D is a Pentium 4 with two processor cores (instead of one) in a single CPU (chip).  If you run applications that take advantage of multiple processors, like high-end photo editing, video editing, and 3D rendering applications (like Maya and 3D Studio, not games), then the Pentium D will outperform the P4 as these applications will take advantage of the extra processor.\n\nHowever, for basic home and office applications or games, the D doesn't buy you much.  The only exception is if you run multiple applications at once with each one running demanding active tasks (like running a huge spreadsheet calculation while searching a massive database and running a web spider to automatically hunt and categorize web pages).


Ask your doctor about silver nitrate sticks.  When applied, they cauterize the sore, making them scab over and dry up quickly and painlessly.  The sticks require a prescription, unless your doctor has them on hand.


Valentino Rossi, Motorcycle Racer \n\nBorn: 16 February 1979 \nBirthplace: Urbino, Italy \nBest Known As: "The Doctor," Italian MotoGP World Champion 2001-2005 \nItalian motorcycle racer Valentino Rossi won seven World Championships in Grand Prix racing by the time he was 26 years old, cementing his place as one of the sport's heroes. Rossi is the son of 1970s racer Graziano Rossi, and he began racing as a teenager, first with karts, then with minimotos (minibikes). In his second season racing in the Grand Prix 125cc class, he won his first World Championship (1997). Rossi moved up to the 250cc class and, in his second season, won the World Championship in 1999. He then moved up to the 500cc class, racing for Honda, and won the World Championship in 2001. Since then he has won the revised MotoGP World Championship in 2002 and 2003 with Honda, and in 2004 and 2005 with Yamaha. Charismatic, cocky and talented, he is a crowd favorite who went from being known as a clownish upstart to being dubbed "The Doctor" for his calculated and precise way of out-racing opponents.\n\nRossi wears the number 46 when he races, the same number his father used.


Where does the light go when you close the switch?

It bounces around and out of the room. Since this happens at the speed of light, you don't notice a gradual fading of light so much as a sharp transition to darkness.

Is it possible to clone a dinosaur from its bones?

It is theoritically possible to clone a dinosur from its bones, however it would have to be recent bones to still have marrow cells in the, and since no dinosaurs have died recently then no, it is not practically possible. Plus, you would have to have a surrogate mother large enough to carry a dinosaur feutus to full term.

Many online sites offer this as an option. This includes 360.yahoo.com and www.blogger.com (Google). If you are asking about how to set up your own blog and not rely on another provider, you can use software such as Wordpress, Movable Type to do so. Of course, in this case, you would need to have an internet accessible host (either personal or through some hosting provider).


A docking station for laptops is something that usually sits somewhere like on your desk at home and you plug your laptop into it when you get home.  The interesting part is that there can already be lots of things, like a keyboard, mouse, external monitor, printer, and other peripherals attached to the station that you can now just use with your laptop.\nSo you kind of get back some of the benefits of having a desktop computer while still have a portable laptop.\n\n\nThere are also portable "docking stations" that let you plug in more things to your laptop like disc drives if your laptop doesn't have them built in.


What is the implication of Fed rate increase for emerging stock  markets like India?

As interest rates rise, so does the cost of capital. Therefore (eventually) labor becomes cheaper than capital, and capital improvements decline until the reverse is true i.e. falling interest rates. If you are an Indian firm that manufactures products for an American company, then this will harm Indian industry (but only to a degree, as even in a time of rising interest rates Indian labor is still cheaper than American labor). For Indian manufacturers producing machinery, this is not good news, since the cost of capital will not be exceptionally less expensive than labor.

is there such a thing as freelance police?

But if you're not talking about private security, then no.  Law enforcement officers derive their authority from the State in which they are employed, and the State doesn't contract with private citizens in a freelance mode.\n\nYou might also Google bounty hunters, as they do what some people consider enforcement, though it isn't law enforcement so much as it is armed debt collection.


"The price of tea in China" is an expression which is used to denote something which is unrelated to the current topic of discussion.\n\nThis expression has stemmed from economists, who describe everything economic as affecting everything else, trying to find an expression which denotes the furthest logical connection from their current economic focus. In this way, the price of tea in China was used to denote the furthest possibility. It can also be used to denote an irrelevant topic.\n\nIt has the most common form "what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?"\n\nThere may be a second explanation.\n\nIn the 19th century the price for tea in England was the highest when the first ship with the newly harvested tea came in. So for the ship owners it was important to be as fast as possible back to England with the load, otherwise the cost of the passage was not to be recovered from the sale of the tea. Thus there were real races (the tea clipper races) where the sail ships managed to travel the whole distance from China to England in about 80 to 90 days.\n\nThe difference in prices from the first load to the later ones was so high that it was quite unimportant which price for the tea was originally paid in China. So the "price of tea in China" was something that really didn't matter for the ship owners. They had to have the tea in England as fast as possible.\n\nWe're still impressed when a person will not give something up "for all the tea in China." Recent times, however, have made this amount less impressive than in the past. In the twenty five years since the Chinese government reformed agriculture on the mainland, tea production has suffered in both quantity and quality.\n\nThis should come as a surprise to many observers. Tea almost naturally seems as though it would be one of the top success stories of Chinese agricultural reform and economic growth. Not only does it have a long legacy in China, but also its popularity is increasing dramatically around the world, making it a potentially valuable export resource. Yet, the tea industry is still troubled by finding the efficient levels of production and export that will make tea a consistently profitable commodity. Two experts, Dan Etherington and Keith Forster, have called this the "no man's land between the plan and the market."\n\n The Chinese government changed the way agriculture was produced in the 1970s and early 1980s. Previously, farms were state owned, and farmers worked together on farming communes. The government purchased all of the harvest from the state farms at set prices. During the Chinese Reform Era, the farming communes broke down and individual households and farmers could grow their own crops on their own land. Still, not all vestiges of the old system were lost as the government contracted to buy most of the harvest output from individual farmers and continued to operate large scale farm communes through the prison system.\n\nFor most agriculture industries, the new individual household farms have brought significant gains in production and profit. The institution of household farming and the increase in market freedom prompted farmers to adjust their production activities in accordance with profit margins.\n\nYet, the gains are missing in the tea industry. For example, with nearly half the world's total tea gardens, China produces only about twenty percent of the world's tea output. Moreover, in 1990, China's average yield of tea per hectacre was 500 kilograms. This yield is historically low. In 1914 - 1918, Chinese tea farms yielded 900 kilograms per hectacre. This yield is also low compared to other tea producing nations. India, whose tea plantations utilize modern agriculture technology and business practices, yielded an average of 2,000 kilograms per hectacre of plucked land in 1990.\n\nObservers can attribute these disappointing results to one of three problems

The WB has not made an official announcement - not that they would this early  - but here's my thoughts:\n\nPros - Smallville has gotten awesome ratings this season in its new time slot. Strong ratings in key demographics make in a good lead in to boost another show's audience. The WB loves this show, and it's an in house production which means they get profits from DVD sales. The creators have no plans of stopping and have stories planned for season 6 if it happens.\n\nCons - Contracts are up after year 5, and some actors may not want to come back, or may want to get paid more. A show with lots of special effects like Smallville already costs a lot to produce.\n\nSo basically, I think The WB wants it back, the creators still want to keep going - as long as the actors aren't sick of these characters yet, I think it should be back next season.


The X-Men are the best.\n\nWhen I was a kid, I adored the Fantastic Four, probably because their close-knit family relationship is very comforting to see in super-heroes.\n\nBy the time I got to adolescence, though, I had much more in common with the mutants, who are just trying to do their best in a world that cannot accept them.\n\nThis has carried over into my adulthood. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Xavier and his students who routinely save the world even with protesters standing on the doorstep of their home.


Why was 'Like Humans Do' chose n to be supplied with Windows XP?

What Does the MTA Transit Strike Mean to Those of You in the Suburbs of the Greater NYC Metro Area?

For the same salary (working in IT), would you rather work for Kaiser or at a Carpenters Union?

If your goal is to gain more experience, I think you would have better luck being a big fish in a small company wearing many hats than a small fish in a big company working a help desk. That is, unless one of the benefits of the larger company is paid training in the areas you are interested in. Be wary of future promises (i.e., you'll all be doing server duties in the future) as many midsized companies right now seem slow to grow or change their IT infrastructure (if it's not broke, don't fix it), and a smaller company may provide more opporutinies to introduce new technology and spearhead new projects (less red tape and politics).\n\nI suggest you carefully weight all of the financial, logistical (commute time, etc.), psychological (do you like the people, the environment), and career (where will I be in five years) factors before making a decision.\n\nJust another IT professional's two cents worth...

I found this rule in an English language grammar.?

I have never heard of this rule before, and I'm a grammar teacher, so I don't think anyone will get mad if you violate it.\n\nHowever, the form of your sentence that would fit the rule would be: "Come to Manchester, in which we will meet some interesting people."\n\nIt doesn't really do anything for me, either.


are my rights being violated when a fl. family trailor park allows a child predator to rent where kids reside?

No, your rights are not being violated.\nIf the County has no restrictions, the park manager CAN NOT legally refuse to rent to him based on prior convictions.\nSince a part of his parole and registration requirements are that he keep his parole officer updated as to his address and employment, I'm betting that it's perfectly within the terms of his release to be living there.\nTell your children not to be friendly with him and to tell you immediately if this man approaches them, but leave the guy alone unless he actually does something wrong.\nYou do not know the details of his case, for all you DO know, he was ordered to undergo chemical castration as part of his release or the crime he was convicted of was not quite what it sounds like...Bottom line, he did his time, it's YOUR job to teach your kids not to hang out with strangers and to know the difference between good touch and bad touch and the guy has to live somewhere, if he's keeping to himself, let him be.


What area has the best snow on earth for skiing and snowboarding?

Do I have to pay a bill for calling firefighters?

Well It Depends If you live in aplace that has a public fire department and you called them because your house was on fire then probably not, but if you called for a medical reason and the ambulance showed up then more than likely you will have to pay a bill.  There is the Rare exception to this in that there is private fire departments that charge for their services and there are public fire departments that bill businesses and sometime they bill for water usage


what is the objective of singing rhymes to preschoolers?

By singing rhymes to preschoolers they will have songs that they know when they begin to learn the alphabet and start sounding out words. I keep big posters all around my classroom with the rhymes written on them with pictures so that they can tell which rhyme it is.\nThey love to point out the words that they recognize and pretend to read while they sing. I think that mainly singing rhymes to preschoolers helps them later on in the first years of school to realize that words do mean something about things that they all ready know. It really is a great booster to their ego when they think they are great readers and they can do it.

how can i get over my fear of something bad happening?

I think it's better for you to stick with the original question.  Many people in many countries, like China or Sudan, suffer real religious persecution, for instance, and do not have access to our legal system.  The United States simply protected individual liberties better than any country in the world.\n\nThat said, Michael Newdow's rights have not been violated.  The Supreme Court has repeatedly articulated "standing" requirements for plaintiffs, which means that the plaintiff has a "case or controversy" under Article III of the Constitution, and the federal court system is authorized to hear that "case or controversy."\n\nSix principles have been repeatedly articulated by the Court in cases like Valley Forge. Three are constitutional: the plaintiff must have and injury in fact (actual or threatened, and imminent); the harm caused must be fairly traceable to the conduct; and a favorable court decision will lead to redress.  Three are prudential: no third-party standing is permitted on concern of the vigor of the litigations; no generalized grievances will be heard, since equal harm is dispersed among population; and the harm must occur within the "zone of interests" of the plaintiff.\n\nThe Lujan case suggested that the "generalized grievances" standard is more of a constitutional than prudential claim, and it appears that Newdow's claim falls under that prong of the test.  Nevertheless, under contemporary standing doctrine, Newdow's does not have a "concrete and particularized injury," but only a "general grievance" as an offended bystander.

I have a child with celebral palsey at my school. She's 7 years old. i need help with educational materials

I list some resources below, but it is somewhat difficult to do so without knowing how your child is affected by cerebral palsy and what her needs are. One of the best things you can do to get this kind of information is to contact the United Cerebral Palsy group. They have a national group (http://www.ucp.org/) and have many local chapters in middle size and larger cities. They can work with you individually to help you get the resources that you need. \n\nIn addition, your local school district's special education department should also be able to help you. Contact them and ask about their Parents Resource Center. You can get information from them, and you should be able to talk with a special education teacher.\n\nHere are some other websites to look at for further resources:\nEducation World:\nhttp://www.education-world.com/a_curr/curr139.shtml\n\nCerebral Palsy Resources:\nhttp://www.about-cerebral-palsy.org/palsy/\n\nProject Perform:\nhttp://www.wash.k12.mi.us/perform/Contents.asp?ListType=SND&FilterID=5\n\nHope this is helpful!

Every egg starts developing in the womb as a female. The male genes kick in only later during the gestation. Consequently, an egg developing into a foetus develops nipples. After a certain stage, when the male genes kick in, the development of the breast is stopped. Thus men have nipple but don't have breast.


What is the symbol of the Republican Party?

An elephant''\n\nThis symbol of the party was born in the imagination of cartoonist Thomas Nast and first appeared in Harper's Weekly on November 7, 1874.\n\nAn 1860 issue of Railsplitter and an 1872 cartoon in Harper's Weekly connected elephants with Republicans, but it was Nast who provided the party with its symbol.\n\nOddly, two unconnected events led to the birth of the Republican Elephant. James Gordon Bennett's New York Herald raised the cry of "Caesarism" in connection with the possibility of a thirdterm try for President Ulysses S. Grant. The issue was taken up by the Democratic politicians in 1874, halfway through Grant's second term and just before the midterm elections, and helped disaffect Republican voters.\n\nWhile the illustrated journals were depicting Grant wearing a crown, the Herald involved itself in another circulation-builder in an entirely different, nonpolitical area. This was the Central Park Menagerie Scare of 1874, a delightful hoax perpetrated by the Herald. They ran a story, totally untrue, that the animals in the zoo had broken loose and were roaming the wilds of New York's Central Park in search of prey.\n\nCartoonist Thomas Nast took the two examples of the Herald enterprise and put them together in a cartoon for Harper's Weekly. He showed an ass (symbolizing the Herald) wearing a lion's skin (the scary prospect of Caesarism) frightening away the animals in the forest (Central Park). The caption quoted a familiar fable: "An ass having put on a lion's skin roamed about in the forest and amused himself by frightening all the foolish animals he met within his wanderings."\n\nOne of the foolish animals in the cartoon was an elephant, representing the Republican vote - not the party, the Republican vote - which was being frightened away from its normal ties by the phony scare of Caesarism. In a subsequent cartoon on November 21, 1874, after the election in which the Republicans did badly, Nast followed up the idea by showing the elephant in a trap, illustrating the way the Republican vote had been decoyed from its normal allegiance. Other cartoonists picked up the symbol, and the elephant soon ceased to be the vote and became the party itself: the jackass, now referred to as the donkey, made a natural transition from representing the Herald to representing the Democratic party that had frightened the elephant.\n\nby William Safire

what is the deal with 12 year old girls and wearing bras with no tits?

BTW Fencebender I saw your inappropriate questions, so stow it.  \n\nIt's a marketing attempt.  For girls tits are never big enough, nor are you ever slender enough or facially pretty enough.  Guys never have enough tools or the right girlfriend.  "Did you see the (object) Bob has?  I'm getting the next bigger model!"\n\nThere is no happiness with marketing.  The trick is to be happy with yourself, whether or not you are the norm.   The new makeup or the new truck isn't going to make you happy.


you can say down if you'd like, and it would mean the same thing :) but saying "up" is probably more positive and optimistic. (as opposed to saying, "hey man, whats going down?" :)

Because pharmacutical companies have lots of money and keep it that way through bureucratic legislation and laws and lobbying and Americans are mostly shallow and follow the masses.  Remember the witch hunts of Salem?  Americans associate herbal health and remedies with witchcraft and Satan....they have Christianized medicine.

You would have to ask their parents why they exist ;)\n\nHomosexuality is when a person's instinctual knowledge makes them much more likely to be attracted to people of the same gender instead of the opposite gender.  Nobody knows what causes it, but there are many theories.  However, evidence suggests that it's always existed in humans.  There are also plenty of examples of it in the animal kingdom.

is the war on drugs proving effective.do we assume that there are less addicts,if we win the war ,who lost?

The war on drugs is nowhere near over.  I was watching on the news a while back that after the tougher laws passed in Iowa reguarding the sales of certain ingredients in meth, that meth lab siezures had gone down a dramatic amount.  However, I still see people using every bit as much as before.  In my opinion, the law enforcement officials have not been working hard enough, and therefore cite the new law for less busts being made.


how do I report a doctor prescribing unnecessary medicine?

How can i stop myself from biting my nails?

There are several approaches you can take.  One is to cut your nails short and keep trimming them as they grow back.\n\nAnother approach, which is one that worked for someone in my family, is to get a something you can put on the nails that are being bitten that makes them taste bad. I think the owner of the nails told me that the substance made them taste bitter.\n\nThe document listed as a Source for this answer has ideas on what you can use. They recommend hot pepper sauce or lemon juice.\n\nIn the case of my relative, they used a liquid that came in a little bottle that I guess came from a doctor or a pharmacy that was made for this express purpose. Not nail polish or anything toxic, of course.\n\nI could be mistaken because it has been several decades but I think I remember looking at the bottle and it said something like "Thumb" or "Thumbb" on it. I cannot find the product by googling at the moment though.


Who out there thinks that getting, and having bold tattoos are hot?

The people who think bold tattoos are hot, from a purely empirical point of view, seem to be under the age of 25, with a need to express that their tattoos are a semiotic device that delineates them from the rest of society. Empirical experience will usually bear out that these people also appear to come from a lower socioeconomic class. Unfortunately, most of these people who believe that their tattoos delineate them as unique individuals merely are expressing that they are members of a class of persons who are similar to them, ie. that they are not part of any group, when in fact they are all members of the group who thinks tattoos are unique.

F3, F4, and F5 generally control volume on a mac.\nMute, decrease volume, and increase volume -- repectively.\n\nI have had the same problem with out of balance speakers.  I know that if you go into the system preferences you can balance them manually (as you have already done, aparently), but I don't believe there is a shortcut key causing your problem.

Why are American so inmature when it come to sex as opposed to the rest of the World?

Compared to the majority of the world, which has a traditional view of human sexuality and relationships, the American attitude on sex portrayed in movies and television, is embarrassing and appalling to most of the world: Muslims, Asians, Africans. From the majority world's perspective, American sexuality is immature for being uninhibited.\n\nImplied in the question might be a preference for an even more progressive attitude about sexuality. One may need to make a case for that on a basis other than the "rest of the world."


dimensional analysis is solving a problem by using the units of the terms involved.\n\nfor instance, since volume density has units of mass / volume, you know how to find volume density given a mass and a volume, it would just be: mass/volume = density.\n\na more complicated example force (F) has units of newtons. Newtons can be further broken down into the units (kilogram * meters)/seconds^2\n\nthus, if you know the mass of an object (kilograms), and the acceleration (meters/second^2), you then know how to put the two together to find force, it would just be:\n\nkilograms * (meters/seconds^2)\n\nwhich is mass*acceleration.\n\nthis type of analysis can be strung together to solve more complicated problems.


What do you think about the way the moon is tilted? What do you think will happen to theis world?

I'm not sure what mean by "tilted," that typically refers to the axis of rotation. (The Earth's axis is tilted about 23.5 degrees from perpendicular with our Orbital plane.) The Moon is not tilted very much at all with respect to it's orbital plane around the Earth.\n\nDo you mean that the Moon always has the same side facing Earth? This is called tidal locking. Many of the satellites around Jupiter and Saturn are tidally locked. Mercury is almost tidally locked with the Sun.\n\nSolar tides (as opposed to the lunar tides) will determine the extent to which the Earth's rotation is slowed down so that Earth is tidally locked to the Sun. But Earth is big enough and far away enough that I don't think this will happen before the Sun enters the Red Giant phase and the Earth is (probably) destroyed.\n\nThe Earth's rotation is slowing down a bit, but that is due to the influence of the Moon.


Why does it take longer to fly west than it does to fly east?

Because of the jet stream.  The jet stream flows west to east.  When a plane is flying east to west, the is more wind resistance on it.


why should aperson lose their job for forgeetting to turn in money that they are told to keep in their pockets

I think it's sad that your daughter lost her job at the aiport, she sounded like a very dedicated employee willing to go the extra mile even on her days off.  But it is probably best she is no longer there because what you are describing here is that she was probably long past exhaustion each time she accidentally took the money home, although I am certain the airport didn't consider this when they decided to fire her.\n\nOn the WHY part of your question:  When she first was employeed by the airport she probably signed an agreement of "if I mishandle money in any way that isn't in agreement with the airports rules, I understand that is grounds for dismissal"  If she agreed to these terms and broke them, is was their call to be understanding or not. They were 2 times before, but when they see a pattern of it, they are less likely to trust their money is safe. They will protect themsevles before protecting her.\n\nI agree they shouldn't make it so easy to leave your shift without turning the money in first.  Just like with waiters and waitresses, or bartenders that most of the time must carry change on them, if the airport had an end shift report to do before each employee was allowed to leave, then it could all be resolved.  I don't know any waiters or waitresses that can leave for the day without giving the company their money first, along with reporting their tipped earnings for the day.\n\nHer honesty in giving the money back is something to be proud of, and she shouldn't hold bad memories against the airport for their descision.  She made a mistake, we all do that once in a while.  She'll find another job, and she will have this experience to learn from.


Author:      Lou Harnisch\n"This falls under the study to social contact (grooming) for species that have, particularly mammals that have highly social groupings.  Being ticklish would certainly draw more attention to that individual from other members of the group.  Creates positive interactions that strength bonds.  It would be interesting if one could find a structural (receptor) or physiological (brain wave pattern) that would be strongly correlated with the "ticklish state" and see if these kinds of things are found only in highly social mammalian species."\nAlso\n"Because tickling involves the sensitivity of our skin, we do start out with natural differences in ticklishness, much as we have differences in our hearing or eyesight.\n\nBut tickling is different because it's social; it's not like sight or smell, says Robert R. Provine, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Maryland who studies the tickling response and is the author of the forthcoming book ``Quest for Laughter.''\n\n``The tickling story is far more interesting than anyone has anticipated,'' says Provine. ``If you think the social component is not important, try tickling a stranger.''\n\nAlthough tickling, like reflexes, involves neurological mechanisms, it is far more than an involuntary response. You can give yourself a knee-jerk reflex, but you can't tickle yourself, says Provine. Tickling is a form of communication used between friends, family and lovers, and one that Provine thinks may play a key role in the evolution of our social and sexual behavior.\n\nChimps tickle each other during play. Children are playfully tickled by their parents and other children of both sexes. Above the age of puberty, though, tickling usually is a form of flirtation, he says.\n\nSo why are some people more sensitive than others? Provine theorizes that the differences lie largely in who is doing the tickling. You may be highly sensitive to being held down and tickled by an older brother, for instance, because it's somewhat aversive. But a lover's tickling may not annoy you at all.\n\nAcquiring sensitivity to ticklish stimuli might have been highly useful in our evolutionary past, says Provine. It would have warned us if a poisonous scorpion was crawling along our neck. And the parts of our bodies that are highly vulnerable to injury, like our feet, chest and armpits, are among the most ticklish."


Why are we usually ashamed of being naked in front of others when we have a hard-on?

Your reactions to any particular situation are often based upon deeply ingrained sets of rules governing your beliefs and values.  The repression of sexuality is widespread in western society (in UK is based on false persumptions of morality based on Victorian era ideals).  Behaviour that challeges your mind set (in this case nudity and sexual arousal) would trigger this embarressment response.  alcohol and drugs tend to overcome these internal control modes temporarily, the best way to overcome it permenantly is to learn more about yourself and identify why your reactions are triggered - then work towards reversing how you feel.

do they have condoms for oral sex on women?

Yes it is called a Dental Dam.  It is a flat piece of latex.  You can find them online or in some drug stores.  FYI in addition to the saran wrap thing you cannot use microwaveable because it has small holes to allow air to escape in the microwave.  This will also let other things through and defeat the purpose of using it at all.

Robert Wadlow: World's Biggest Man\nAlton, Illinois \n\nBigness is its own reward. You want to be a success? Sell a bigger burger. Open a megastore or a multiplex. Merge your way into multinational conglomeratehood. \n\nSince size is the prize, it's only right that several towns bank on the man who towered head-and-shoulders above all others. His name was Robert Wadlow, and he stood 8' 11" tall -- the BIGGEST man who ever lived. \n\nRobert Pershing Wadlow was born in Alton in 1918, a normal-size baby, but soon his perky pituitary gland triggered abnormal growth. At the age of 13, already 7 ft. 4 in., he was proclaimed the world's biggest Boy Scout. And he kept getting bigger.... he eventually topped out at 8 ft. 11.1 inches. \n\nAt the Franklin Masonic Temple in Alton, visitors can ponder the massive chair of this modern Goliath. Alton's business leaders can be forgiven if they sometimes sit in Robert's chair, musing over the fate that makes some men big while others suffer shortsightedness and shortfalls. \n\nhttp://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/ILALTwadlow.html

is it okay to have more than one dating partner?

It's okay to see a couple people, to find out who you want to date.  Dating is more personal, so you need to be able to devote more personal one on one time.  That is how you get to know them, and decide if there is a future together.  If you are w/ many, how can you really give him all the attention he deserves, or find out if he deserves it???  1 on 1 is always the best way to REALLY figure someone out.

what is a mexican-wave and why it is called so?

The "audience wave" (also called a Mexican wave, or simply "the wave") is a phenomenon that commonly occurs in the audiences of sporting events, and sometimes in other large crowds. A wave is a coordinated sequence of actions taken by the audience members in which a group of spectators lying along a radial line extending outward from the sport field all stand up and raise their arms, then return to a normal seated posture again as the neighboring group of spectators takes their turn to stand up.\nThe wave was apparently introduced into the soccer community at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, from which the name "Mexican wave" derives.


What exactly is a hickup? Is there a way to prevent them?

Hiccups occur when a spasm contracts the diaphragm, a large sheet of muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. This spasm causes an intake of breath that is suddenly stopped by the closure of the vocal cords (glottis). This closure causes the characteristic "hiccup" sound. A very full stomach can cause bouts of hiccups that go away on their own. Full stomach can be caused by: eating too much too fast, drinking too much alcohol, swallowing too much air, smoking, sudden change in stomach temperature, such as drinking a hot beverage and then a cold beverage, and emotional stress or excitement. Hiccups that last longer than 48 hours are called persistent hiccups. Hiccups that last longer than a month are called intractable hiccups.  Both persistent and intractable hiccups may be a sign of a more serious health problem and require an exam by a health professional. There really is no way to prevent them.

I was a professional ski instructor while in college.  I taught hundreds of people from age 3 to 84.  Some were very athletic and some were, well, not so athletic to put it politely.  That said, there is no set time to learn.  I taught an 8 year old girl who was a gymnist.  She was skiing advanced runs by the end of the day.  I taught a college age guy who could never grasp the basic skills to turn no matter what trick I tried during several different lessons.  It took me 3 years before I could go down anything other than a beginner run.  Two years later, I was good enough to be a ski instructor.  You just never know how quick until you get on the skis.  If you have a good sense of balance and good control of your body and feet, you should pick it up rather quickly.  If not, it could take a little longer.  If you can afford ski lessons, take them - private or semi-private lessons are better because you get more one on one instruction with the instructor.\n\nUsually, it is eaier to learn the baics to ski than snowboarding, but once you learn the basics of snowboarding, people pick it up a lot faster.  \n\nNo matter which one you decide to take up, enjoy!!!

May our bond only strengthen as this endearing friendship broadens to forever welcome my most wonderful and beatiful bride. Cheers!"\n\n"A toast to the groomsmen. May the joy my bride and I share today also be part of your life forever. May the new roof above us never cave in and may our friends gathered below it, who are here today, never fall out."\n\n"A toast to the groomsmen.

Who do you think has the strongest military in the world?

China has the most number but it doesn't represent anything as the Chinese military is poorly equipped and not experienced.\n\nIndia has an army that is rival to China in numbers and are better equipped with both Russian and US Technology and is really experienced. India doesn't have a draft but military volunteers are in millions. According to the CIA India has the fittest and the one of the most well equipped army. A recent study showed that Indians are the most patriotic\n\nUSA might not have as many active members as India or China but is equipped quite good. Willing soldiers will decrease and citizens won't be willing to fight and even will be protesting a draft. USA's Active army is 1/2 of that of China or India.\n\nSo it's more like India

should i continue to love someone that already commited?

Commited what? To someone else? It is hard to love stop loving people. Real love no mater hwo it is directed to, it just cant be turned off and on. Its not just oh I do love him or no not today or vice versa. If you really love someone who is already in a commited relationship its hard but you have to stop seeing that person. We are all worth more than being second in someone's life. We should want to be 1st, also  you should not want to mess with Karma. Once you are ready to be in ur own true commited relationship you dont want that stuff coming back on u!


Let's say I was sweet and Inocent by how my avatar looks. Would you believe me? :)?

No.....I can see right through  you. *wink*
