I believe Oswald acted alone.\n\nIn 1962, Kennedy tried to secretly sent out assassins to kill Castro. Some believe word slipped to one of Castro's men. Maybe the tables turned.\nBut, I believe Oswald acted alone, but out of hatred that Kennedy tried to kill Castro. Oswald looked up to Castro and his beliefs for Communism. When Oswald was in the service, he had pretty good shot with a gun.\n\nThat morning on November 22nd, Oswald was driving a friend to work. His friend looked in his backseat and asked what the long thing was lying there, covered by a green sheet. \n"Some rods." He responded. There was no other talking after that.\nThat comment always made me wonder...\n~Nikki


The Bible only twice mentions science, once in a good sense and once in a bad sense--where?

Well, I think Martin nailed it.  Good going!\n\nJust in case some might think these are the ONLY places Science is mentioned in the Bible though, note the following couple of verses which are a source of scientific info:\n\n* Isaiah 40:22 - "There is One who is dwelling above the sphere of the earth, the dwellers in which are as grasshoppers, the One who is stretching out the heavens just as a fine gauze, who spreads them out like a tent in which to dwell." --- This shows that the truth about the earth being round was known long before Columbus.\n\n* Ecclesiastes 1:7 - "The winter torrents are going forth to the sea, yet the sea itself is not full. To the place where the winter torrents are going forth, there they are returning so as to go forth." --- This tells about the water cycle.\n\nOf course, these are just a sample;  there are many, many more.


do you agree: "the slave who enjoys his slave life is the real slave"; nowadays 2, don't u think so?

Yes,because a conformist will always be content in his environment. Only those who are non-conformist will disagree and fight to break the bonds of entrapment.


If i had the general idea to sort out the damage man has caused the planet but needed help from those wholove!

Anyways, from reading your post - I would say that people like you are part to blame too... there is no mass insatiable greed... yes there are problems - but the problems need to be put in perspective first - and if you demonise a certain group of people, the emotional turmoil you cause yourself blocks out rational reasoning - making it impossible for you to come up with sane solutions.  \n\nFirstly deal with yourself - check out my blog http.//www.keith.iblogs.com  - find out what and how to articulate and understand and categorise what it is that your trying to say - find any errors and correct them.  \n\nAll in all I would not tell you anything, until you fix but firstly find out how much is missing in your ground work - how you are helping to create the mess you perceive.\n\nGood luck - e-mail me if you like.


At one time Paul too had a closed mind. He confessed: “Formerly I was a blasphemer and a persecutor and an insolent man. Nevertheless, I was shown mercy, because I was ignorant and acted with a lack of faith.” (1 Timothy 1:13) However, he accepted the truth about Jesus Christ and cast off his prejudices.\n\nSaul enters the Bible record among those killing Stephen. “After throwing [Stephen] outside the city, they began casting stones at him. And the witnesses laid down their outer garments at the feet of a young man called Saul.” “Saul, for his part, was approving of the murder of him.” (Acts 7:58; 8:1) \nSaul’s being born a Roman meant that one of his male ancestors had acquired the privilege of citizenship. How? There are several possibilities. Apart from inheriting citizenship, it could be accorded to individuals or groups either for particular merits, for mere political expediency, or as a reward for some signal service to the State. A slave able to buy his freedom from a Roman, or one emancipated by a Roman citizen, would become a Roman himself.  How citizenship entered Saul’s family remains a mystery.\nSaul, or Paul, made honest provision for himself and supported his missionary activities by making tents. (Acts 18:2, 3; 20:34) The trade of tentmaker was typical of his native city, Tarsus. It is likely that Saul learned the tentmaking trade from his father in youth.\n\nSaul’s knowledge of languages—especially his mastery of Greek, the common tongue of the Roman Empire—also proved invaluable in his missionary work.  Analysts of his writings say that his Greek is excellent. His vocabulary is not classical or literary but, rather, reflects that of the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures that he often quoted or paraphrased. On this evidence, various scholars assume that Saul received at least a good elementary education in Greek, probably in a Jewish school.   Saul’s education thus suggests that he came from a prominent family.\nHe was educated at the feet of Gamaliel, a well-known and highly esteemed teacher of the Pharisaic tradition. (Acts 22:3; 23:6) Those studies, comparable to a university education today, threw open the door of opportunity for achieving prominence in Judaism.  Though educated, Paul did not try to impress others with his speech,  nor did he seek to please men.   He did not insist on doing what he had the right to do, but adapted himself to the people to whom he preached, exercising care so as not to stumble others.\n\nTARSUS:  The principal city and capital of the Roman province of Cilicia; birthplace of the apostle Paul. \n\nA great fire ravaged Rome in 64 C.E., destroying about a fourth of the city. The rumor circulated that Nero was responsible and, according to Roman historian Tacitus, Nero tried to protect himself by placing the blame on the Christians.  Christians were tortured, put to death in large numbers, some even being burned alive in public. This appears to have marked the start of a great wave of persecution, not from religious opposers, but from political sources bent on exterminating the Christian congregation.\n\nLikely Paul, who evidently was freed after two years of imprisonment in Rome (c. 59-61 C.E.), now experienced his second imprisonment (c. 65 C.E.). It is generally held that he thereafter was put to death at Nero’s order

house interest.JUST NUMBERS PLEASE.what is the time table to use on a 9 percent rate for 42388.69?

http://www.dinkytown.net/\n\nTry this page : http://www.dinkytown.net/\n\nIt's a bunch of financial calculators so you can figure it out and play around with different variables.


Before I met the girl of my dreams, I treated e-mails the same as I treated phone calls with potential dates that I met. E-mail is just another gate, you might say, and that you have to get past to go on a date with her. If there's one thing women like that'll get you in the door, it is a man with confidence. \n\nFirst, save your impressing for the date, in person. I don't know how many times men spill their whole lives on the phone or through other ways of communication once they get the number or e-mail address, and they still haven't even met the girl for their first date yet. For one, she finds out everything about you and you lose the mystery that surrounds you. She'll form an opinion and thus you'll drive her interest level down in you. That just decreased your chances of going on a date with her, a lot. If you do make it to the first date, she'll know what you’re about and she might just toy with you just because it's dinner on you and she had nothing better to do that night. Two, you become such a great conversationalist with her; she'll consider you a "buddy" only. Stay mysterious. Save your money.\n\nSo what should you say to her through an e-mail? Just like the phone, say the proper greeting and establish your name first. If you've seen what she looks like or know a little bit about her, tell her you find her really beautiful, interesting because..., or both. Keep it under two sentences. You don't want to seem desperate. Next, establish a date. You should already have these things in mind when you ask her. Know where you’re going to take her, time and date. Make sure you say "date" somewhere in there. It lets her know this guy wants to get to know me more then just friends. Since your going through e-mail, end the conversation there. Here's an example of what your e-mail should look like:\n\n"Hi Jenny, my name is Greg. I find you really attractive and I couldn't stop reading your opinion on the war in Iraq. Let's get together for a date this Thursday at 7pm at the Starbucks on campus and talk some more."\n\nYou kept it simple. You made it all about her, you stayed mysterious, you showed your confidence, and now all you can do is wait for her reply. This is the fun part. Your have a possible three answers. Yes, I can’t (with an excuse), and maybe. Take a yes of course. An I can't and a MAYBE, I drop it. Girls a lot of times don't say no. They beat around the bush by making an excuse, ignoring your calls or e-mails after that. It's their way of saying "no". Don't e-mail or call back asking an explanation. It's over, move on to the next girl. A maybe, when a girl says it, means I'm not really into you, but if I got nothing better to do I guess I'll take a free dinner. Is she really into you with that statement maybe? No. You want the girls that say yes. Now you might run into, yeah I'd like to go out with you that night, but I got a meeting. She really does if she counters with, but we can go out after my meeting at 9pm or on Friday. Still take it. Let her send you the counter offer, don't counter offer to her. Keep your cool and confidence. If she says she's got a meeting but doesn't counter offer, tell her it's my only night I'm available. She still doesn't send you a counter offer, which was her way of saying no. If Brad Pitt asked her on a date, she would give up open heart surgery for that one night. So, if she's really into meeting you she wouldn't make an excuse for that night. Get it? Once again for example:\n\nJenny: "Hi Greg. I'm glad you find me attractive, lol. I'm also glad you really liked my opinion on the war in Iraq. I'll go out with you on Thursday so we can talk more. Can't wait to see you then, ciao! ;)"\n\nGreg:  "Ok, I'll see you on Thursday at 7pm at the Starbucks on campus. Later."\n\nThat&#39

should Bowwow and ciara get back together?

Ciara was  not born with man parts. Bow wow is not gay either. People are always talkin shiz and starting rumors, which also aided in their breakup.To answer your question, I DO NOT think they should get together. They made a cute couple and everything but still they wanted different things. Bow wow kept talking about their relationship in the open. Ciara wanted to keep their relationship private like jay and beyonce have theirs, but of course too many people kept digging in their relationship 'HATERS'. They just wanted different things. Plus Bow Wow, ever since he been with dem franchize boys, he been quite conceited. So once again if they do get back together it most likely wont last a long time.

Can a spouse be paid by Social Security for the care of a disabled spouse?

not sure if this is the right answer, but if you go under social security disability eligebillty., it has information about the one being care for is able to recieve under social security. There is all kinds of ways and reasons for elegibility that is never mention anyway until you start digging.  For instance, My mother needs 24hr care after 2 strokes.  We have her at home, she is blind and can't walk at 85years old.  She's entitled because she has diabetes,and had it most of her life.  But it too much for me to explain, look it up and you'll be wonderfully surprised I'm sure.


has any body heard any thing about the new harry potter book 7?

Well, it is rumored that HP7 will be released mid-2007.\n\nHere are a couple of things from JKR's site:\n\nListen carefully, I shall say this only once: the only sources you should trust concerning information on the Half-Blood Prince are official spokespeople for my publishers and my official website.\n- JK Rowling, JKRowling.com \n\nThe title of the book will not be "Harry Potter and the Pyramids of Furmat." \n\nThere will be no character named "Icicle," and JK said that she didn't recall saying there ever would be. \n\nDumbledore is not Harry's relative. \n\nHarry is not related to Voldemort and he is not related to Salazar Slytherin. \n\nLily Potter is not alive. \n\nLily was not a Death Eater. \n\nCrookshanks is not an Animagus. \n\nNeville is not the son of Peter Pettigrew. \n\nRemus Lupin does not have a twin brother and will not be killed by Peter's silver hand.\n\nYou could visit http://www.hp-lexicon.org/about/books/book_6-7.html for more info.

What are the uses of Nitrogen in our daily lives?

It depends on how it's used, but common uses of Nitrogen... It's part of a compound in fertilizers, it's used to freeze things, it's used to fill up tires, it's used in cars for more power, those are just a couple, I am sure there are thousands more that I don't know of.

The aspect of 3d animation is to take a cartoon into the third dimension, giving it more life and extended visuals. 3D animation is usually comprised using 3d software such as 3ds max or Maya on a computer. Movies such as Toy Story or Finding Nemo are just two examples of fantastic 3d animation. There are many cartoons as well that utilize 3d animation, such as Jimmy Nutron on Nick Jr. Hope that helps.

5 years after a man dies & is burried, forensic tests need to be done the biceps muscle would look like what?

That completely depends on the conditions in the soil- If its fairly dry, you would have a hard, dessicated tissue much like jerky.  In a moist but anoxic soil, the tissue would be well preserved.  In normal moist and oxygenated soil, there would be very little tissue left.

What is the competitive advantage for an information system?

It is not a competitive advantage any longer. It is a matter of survival. The competitive advantage ended in the 70's. A modern enterprise can not be properly managed or run without an information system. The days of the rooms full of people with green eye shades is over.  Even individuals rely on information systems today. Quicken, MS Money, spread sheets. I have a gross of spread sheets. \n\nLet us take for example of just one business, the grocery store. Actually, today it is called the supermarket.  30 years ago, they had scores of clerks stamping prices on cans of beans, etc. Then they had scores of clerks keying those prices into cash resisters and other scores of clerks going through the isles trying to determine what they needed to restock. Then they had scores of clerks typing up purchase orders for more beans. Informations systems have eliminated all of that. The bar code on the product, tells the information system the product that was just bought. The information system calculates the price, deducts the item from inventory, and checks against the reorder point, and if that is reached issues an order for more of that item from the vendor and transmits the order to the vendors computer. \n\nDo you think that a company such as Walmart could even exist today without information systems?


what is the aproximate are of a segment of a circle with a height 6 m and the lenght of the chord is 20 m?

The area of the segment is given by\n\nA = r^2[theta - sin(theta)]/2\n\nSo we need theta, which is the angle that contains the chord, and the radius of the circle.\n\nThe radius of the circle is given by\n\nr = (c^2 + 4h^2)/(8h)\n= (20^2 + 4(6)^2)/(8*6)\n= (400 + 144)/48\n= 11.3 m\n\ntheta is given by\n\ntheta = 2 arcsin(c/[2r])\n= 2 arcsin(20/[2(11.3)])\n= 2.17 radians\n\nSo\n\nA = r^2[theta - sin(theta)]/2\n= (11.3)^2[2.17 - sin(2.17)]/2\n= 85.92 m^2

Is it common for moms to take the time to put their child in a car, drive around, and get them to fall asleep?

HA! Yes, yes, very common.\n\nI don't do it much anymore, but when my son was VERY tiny, he had night and day mixed up. I used to drive around until he went to sleep, then slip him into his crib (still in the car seat). It worked pretty well.\n\nWhat can I say... extreme exhaustion will make a mommy do just about anything to get baby to sleep.


Where in the bible does it say the 25th of December is the birthday of Jesus?

It doesn't.  Dec. 25 became Christmas to over ride the Pagan/Wiccan holiday of Yule and do away with that tradition.  That is where the Yule log and Christmas tree came from.  If you look at most Christian holidays they were taken from the Pagan ones to do away with those traditions.  The way the Wiccans/Pagans see it it just justifies our religion because they had to go so far out of the way to do away with them.  We must be right if Christianity fought so hard to get rid of them.


How fast is a pit stop in Nsacar? Really?

They tend to run anywhere from 13 seconds (really fast, no adjustments needed for the car) to 16 seconds (maybe including a trackbar adjustment). Sometimes they can go longer, though, if there are problems. These are times for a full 4 tire/fuel stop. If it's just two tires, or fuel only, it may be even less.\n\nThis is just the time that it takes once the driver has entered the pit box and the crew has started working on the car, to when it exits the pit box.


can anybody ask bush to get out of iraq and save the rest of usa soldiers for god sake?

You question looks more like mindless babbling.  Don't mean to be offensive it's just that you should read over what you write before you post it..  Now, who are you to say what life is like over there?  Have you been?  Do you get your information first-hand or just from what other people with your view-point have to say?

what is r&b and the differance between r&b and rap?

R&B means rhythm and Blues.\n\nRap means hardcore lyrics over a Bass-filled beat.\n\nTHEY ARE NOT THE SAME, unless of course you have no rhythm, no talent, or are just not clever at all aka an idiot.\n\nR&B singers are talented in the form of voice, they know what to do with their voices, and how to make it sound good to people who don't even speak the same language.\n\nRappers have talent in the form of verse, some are more talented than others in all of our opinions depending on where we r from and what we r used to hearing. Poems come in many different forms, and rappers take poetry and form it in such a way so that it is both clever and rhythmic, but also put a bit of themselves in it.\n\nSometimes, rappers, and R&B artist "collabo" on a song together; Ja Rule & Mary J. Blige, Jim Jones & Trey Songz, LL Cool J & J Ho. . .\n\nThe thing is tho, in most case R&B artists sing, because thats what you do in R&B. Rappers don't sing, well they try, but they only do it for a hook to their song or something similar.\n\nSome R&B artists that you can look into are John Legend, Boyz II Men, Janet Jackson, Keysha Cole. . .\n\nSome Rappers tha are worthwhile; Jay-Z, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Kanye West, Twista, Devin tha Dude, Cam'Ron, the Beastie boys lol. . .


Dermatitis(skin irritation)around the nipple and areola can be caused by:\n1.Ointments and creams you are using on the nipples. Stop using them if you develop dermatitis.\n2.Detergents used to wash your bra. Use pure soap to wash your bra.\n3.Sensitivity to soaps and shampoo. Avoiding soaps and shampoos during showering will help prevent nipple irritation.\n4.Reaction to the fabric of your bra. Choose a different one.


Can anyone tell me something about betting online? Is it safe to bet, and how does the money move if you win?

It's generally not a good idea to bet online because even more so than in physical gambling, they can cheat you really easily.  How do you know their random numbers generators are actually random at all?  I suppose if you win, they can transfer the funds to your bank account.

About how much does it cost to build a tennis court on a residential lot?

If you dont want any places to sit or anything fancy. Just paint the lines in and set up a net. You can play on grass, concrete, almost anything, as long as its relitivly flat.  get some chalk or some paint and do the meauring. You could have your own court anywhere (as long as you have a net).


Should our troops be sent home immediately from Iraq?

Absolutely. They have no business over there now that the real agenda has been figure out why this war was started in the first place. I believe that Saddam would have eventually gotten killed or taken out of office but to lie to start this war was and is wrong and we should have to lose another family member or friend over this war. If it is that serious, President Bush and his flunky along with his and their families should be over fighting. Just my opinion.

I know we have one under development & partially deployed, but one fully operational?  Not yet.\n\nBut, then again, it is entirely possible it's finished but classified.  Although given the number of low-level leaks people make in the CIA & Pentagon about stuff they don't like, we'd probably have heard by now.

Can anyone out there direct me to a few good books or websites that teach you how to sing?

The answer is: no, I can't.  The reason is you can't really learn to sing from a book.  You might be able to get some tips, but to really become good, you need a teacher.  Everybody's anatomy and abilities are different, and to learn to use yours to the best of your ability you need someone who can work with you.\n\nIf there is a college in your area, you may be able to take lessons from one of the professors (expensive) or even one of the voice students there (usually pretty cheap).\n\nGood luck!

Anything by Jane Austen has romance, the old language might cause problems though, excellent books all the same, (pride and prejudice, persuasion etc..) Wuthering heights is brilliant too.

i think the big bang is the beginning and the end of everything?

Very good.  You are close to the truth.\n\nSpace alternately expands and contracts over a two billion year cycle.\n\nWe are now nearing the end of the expansionary phase.  So all the scientists on primitive planets hypothesize a big bang and talk about red shift.\n\nIn the following phase, scientists on other primitive planets will hypotehsize a fiery, incandescent end in the middle of everything and talk a lot about blue shifts.\n\nThe reasons for this have to do with the benefits of dynamic equilibrium.  Static would not work.  Apparently God already knows about this, but so do some physicists.\n\nSoem Dutch guy named DeSitter was also close, I have heard.


I have a VERY small business.  I do freelance work as a voice over artist (this entails recording my voice for use in commercials and phone messaging, store announcements etc).

Sure, but why stop there?... why not go for the whole experience? Put out a dozen jars of your own urine and cover everything with kleenex. Then go quietly insane. Then write a bestseller about it called "My Year as Howard"... see how far those crazy toenails can get you?

Middlesbrough was down 2-0 (3-0 on aggregate) after 24' but scored four goals to advance 4-3.


i have been pondering this for along time... what did women use before pads and tampons were invented?

Rags, that's why periods are called "being on the rag".  They also made something like a sumo wrestler's outfit that you strap onto your waist and attaches to the rag that you wear, you have to remember people also didn't have underwear like we do now back in the day.


How do you find the area of a circle using the radius of 3.14 when d is 30.5?

The question is a little faulty but I think I know what you meant.\n\nIf d is 30.5, then r is half that, 15.25.  You mean pi which is about 3.14.\n\nIf I use that value of pi, and r is 15.25, then area is pi r squared, or 3.14 x 15.25 x 15.25 which is 730.24625.\n\nUsing a better value of pi, I got 730.61664.


list of charitable contributions by politicians please?

Barbara Bush also donated $150,000 to a Texas charity.  Unfortunately, she donated it with the stipulation that it be used to purchase her son Neil's edumacation software.  So, in effect, she was able to buy her son's software tax free.  These Bush people just don't do anything without thinking of themselve.


I would like to know how long it would take to become proficient in Ving Tsun?teach Ving Tsun Kung Fu if?

As you say, it depends on a number of factors. Assuming you are of average skill and intellect and that your Sifu is a skilled teacher, and you stick to the 2 hours of training a day every day schedule, there are a few benchmarks we can estimate for you. \n\nWing Chun was designed to be a combat art that teaches a person how to defend themselves. So, keeping the above assumption in mind, here are my estimates for you.\n\nYou will be a reasonably skilled combatant able to hold your own in most common one on one situations within 6 months. \n\nWithin a year, you will be able to handle yourself against most opponents that today would scare the tar out of you.\n\nWithin 2 years, you should know the first two form inside out and backwards and ready to start on the third form Biu Jee and about 1/3 to 1/2 way through the Muk Jong techniques. You should have a pretty good grasp of the philosophical aspects of the art as well as al of the basic combat principles.\n\nBy the end of the third year, you should have a very strong understanding of the basics. Your Chi Sao should be very impressive. You should be working on Blindfolded Chi Sao almost exclusively. Your should be mastering the advanced combat principles by now.\n\nYear 4 should be about fine-tuning your forms, Chi Sao and Muk Jong techniques. At this pint, you should be ready to open your own club under the direct guidance of your Sifu.  Some schools have different rules for this, but usually by the end of 4 years of training, most people who push themselves are ready for this responsibility. \n\nI hope this helps.


What is pee made of? How come if you drink tomatoe juice your pee is still yellow?

Urine contains large amounts of urea, an excellent source of nitrogen for plants. As such it is a useful accelerator for compost. Urea is 10,000 times less toxic than ammonia and is a byproduct of deamination (2 NH3 molecules) and cellular respiration's (1 CO2 molecule) products combining together. Other components include various inorganic salts such as sodium chloride (the discharge of sodium through urine is known as "natriuresis".)  The typical clear, yellow, or yellow-orange (usually a sign of dehydration) colour of urine is caused by the pigment urochrome, but also from the degradation products of bilirubin and urobilin.

IF U HAD TO PICK ONE FOR UR BBALL TEAM AMONG G.Arenas A.Iverson or V.Carter.....??

Gilbert Arenas, no doubt. He the #4 leading scorer in the NBA. He also averages 6 assits a game and 4 rebounds. That is pretty good. He does have some turnover problems, but he makes those up in the steals he gets. Also he never has problems with anybody else. He is probably the nicest guy in the NBA. All fans love him.

Is there a threshold level of anti-oxidant intake beyond which greater consumption is  ineffective/detrimental

There has been research indicating that massive doses of synthetic vitamin C can cause kidney stones, but I wouldn't worry about it if you're taking 5000mg per day or less.\n\nYour kidneys also have to filter it, so taking a lot more than you need can create an extra burden on that organ.

If Jesus had been killed twenty years ago...?

Absolutely not, no one claiming to be a messiah in current times would be believed by anyone but thier core followers and once they were killed they would be forgotten.\n\n\n\nTo everyone who cited "freedom of religion", almost everyone who has started a cult and claimed to be a messiah in the last 30 or so years has been killed or died mysteriously.  We have "freedom of religion" just as long as we don't insult the mainstream.


my 4 month old has not had a bowl movment in 5 days and is throwing up everything she eat i think she's impact

Take her to a Children's Hospital ASAP.\nThis happened to my little cousin.  He hadn't had a bowel movement in about a week, and they took him to a hospital and the DR said it would pass.  So a few hours later they took him to Children's and they said that if they would have waited any longer he would have literally burst.  They are now in the process of suing the first hospital.  I hope this doesn't scare you, but prompts you to go to a good hospital and quickly.

if you have a freind(so called) who just keeps letting you down should you just walk away from him?

I would say talk to him about it first, let him know that his behavior is putting a strain on your friendship.\n\nWhere to go from there depends on your perspective. From mine(Christian) I have had many people who did not give up on me when I was a raging drug addict. I was probably the worst friend someone could have, but there were certain people that loved me throughout, and that is no small thing.

is there a law regarding how many people can occupy a bedroom or whether a boy and girl can room together?

Depends on where you are.  There are probably laws everywhere as to how many people can occupy a HOUSE, but it is probably illegal for the government to legislate who can occupy a room.  If you are referring to college dorms or student housing, or boarding schools, then different rules apply and for the safety and security (and moral decency) the school can make housing determinations and rules.

In electrical engineering what is the use of network topology and transient analysis ?

Your question is a little confusing. Network Topology is not a theory, it is a reference to the arrangement or physical layout of computers, cables, and other components on the network. A network's topology affects its capabilities. The choice of one topology over another will have an impact on many things, including:\n\n-What type of equipment the network needs\n-Capabilitites of the equipment\n-Growth of the network\n-Way the network is managed\n\nAll network designs stem from four basic topologies: Bus, Star, Ring, and Mesh. All four topologies have advantages and disadvantages. Cost, network speeds, and system reliability are but a few. \n\nTransient analysis is also not a theory but a method, it  provides for plotting of any time-domain waveform. Some variables include digital state, voltage, current, power, energy, charge, resistance, capacitance, inductance, B field, and H field. A variety of variables and mathematical functions are available to simplify plots. Transient analysis is used (in electronics) to better understand the circuits behavior in relation to time.


what will happen to the gas price if USA attack Iran? what are we going to do if it gets more than $5 per lit?

obviously the gas price goes up and it could even become more than $5 per liter,,,, in this case the price of everything would go up, cloths, food, ..because of the high shipping costs, people in north America and Europ would have a hard time making a living.\nthe best solution is to move down to some rural area in California where getting food is not much problem. we could ride horses....... or instead we could make another form of fuel before going to war with Iran....however it bring us to the question of....why should US attack Iran if there is no more need for oil!....

It actually makes me sick!\n\nWow, I really can't believe the ignorance from people in this country. Its so sad, actually. Get Enlightened People!

Does you highschool (or former Highschool) have a varsity bowling team?

One of my friends is the captain of the varsity bowling team (he recently got high 200s - one spare and all the rest strikes) and my brother is on the team as well. They bowl at the local bowling lanes. Our team is not very good except for the captain. There are girls JV and varsity teams as well. It was very hyped up when my friend got high 200s - announcements urging people to come and support the team. It is very social when you watch games. Not as many people come to watch the bowling team as, for example, our football, basketball, and lacrosse games.

Where does the stock come from when you sell short?

You do borrow shares from someone if you short.  Typically it's the brokerage you are shorting with, who is using the shares of another account holder. If they don't have the shares, they borrow from another firm.  Interesting problems happens when they run out of shares to borrow.  Or even better, the owners of the borrowed shares decide to sell their's.  Often when you want to short in a tight market, brokers will trash your trade while advising "no shares available" so you can't always short when you want, no matter the price you offer. \n  Where do the dividends come from?...your pocket if you are holding the short because you have basically a negative stock.\n\nFYI, there's no reason to hold a short unless you are selling a "covered put"; which will be never.\n\nMost traders buy puts to play the downside of an equity.     \nAgain: don't ever short a stock. Use puts.\n\nGood luck to you....

Ottawa.  They have the best offence and the best defence.  Scored the most goals and had the biggest differential of goals for vs. goals against = +103.\n\nDetroit may have ended the season with more points but they are in the weakest division in the NHL and got to play Columbus, Chicago, and St. Louis 8 times each.  They are old and it will show as the playoffs continue.

Whats the solution for the war in Isreal and Palestine?

Sheesh......talk about a difficult question!  First of all what do you mean by Palestine?  The Palestinian homeland is Jordan.  You haver to consider what each side wants and what each side fears.  We'll start with Israel.  What Israel wants is a safe and secure Israel, with an internal Jewish majority.  They don't want to have to rely on foreign powers for security...or even aid.  The Israeli policy towards Jerusalem and the occupied territories are all under intense debate as ways to achieve this end.  The real problem that Israel faces is their internal Muslim population outnumbering its jewish population due to higher birth rates.  Their biggest fear is surrendering land for peace....the Government they made a deal with being overthrown...and having attacks launched against them through invasion routes they gave back by new fanatic governments.  You have to remember that Israel came very close to destruction on several occasions....and that the stated goal of Hamas has always been to push jews into the sea.  The Palestineans want a homeland/country.  They are laregely secular/capitalist as a group...and better educated then any other region in the muslim mid-east.  Because of this they are seen as a threat by other nations in the Arab world.  This is why so many Arab nations pay lip service to the Palestinean cause....but do little for them.  In polls most Palestineans supported the peace proccess that Arafat began and then stopped with the Initifadah.  The recent election of Hamas had less to do with Israeli policy then it did with corruption in their security apparatus.  Palestineans fear losing their claim to any part of Jerusalem...which is what they might face with current Israeli policy of a unilateral withdrawl.  The solution has to be something that gives the Palistieans a homeland....while giving Israel secure borders and national security.  I don't know what the answer is....but I kow the current system of anti-semitism that is blared in Arab media sources doesn't help matters.  I also think that if the other Arabic nations budded out (and they have their own agenda which has NOTHING to do with the well being of Palestineans) a solution could be reached.  I think a secure and stable western styled government in a Palestinean homeland would be the only outcome that all sides could be happy with.  The problem is the rest of the Arab world wouldn;t be happy with it.


How Do I Print Something Out in Landscape form??

To print a Doc in Landscape you have to tell the program to do it. Oh! you want to know how.\nWhen you are ready to print. DO NOT hit the Print button at the top of the screen. Instead click the FILE button in the top left corner of the screen, select the "Page Setup" buttom and you should see the buttons "Portrait and Landscape." Click the "Landscape button", then click the "Print Preview button" just as a check to insure you are now in "Landscape" mode.\nAnother way is to select "Landscape" before you start writing your doc, that way you create your doc in that mode. Again, do a print preview before printing just to make sure.\nIvan


Where do I find an application for the Federal Pell Grant.?

It's the same application that you would use to apply for any kind of Federal Student Aid: the FAFSA or "Free Application for Federal Student Aid."  Make sure you go to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov to file it straight with the Dept. of Education. If you find a site that wants you to pay for it, RUN -- all of these sites or so-called "services" are a scam. Do NOT pay to file it with fafsa.com -- I cannot stress this enough. This company has been a thorn in the side of Financial Aid folks for years.\n\nYour eligibility for a Federal Pell Grant is very clear-cut.  If you file the FAFSA and your EFC is low enough ($3,850 or lower*), you will generally be awarded a Pell Grant (the funds and notification will come from your school's Financial Aid Office). If you file the FAFSA and you are not eligible, the "Comments" section will tell you why this is so.\n\n* There are exceptions to this figure, for example if you are enrolled less than full-time and/or attend a school that costs less than $4,050/year.

Thank you for answering my question, Kathy.  It is comforting to know that other people feel the same way.  I thought I was crazy and totally irrational until I found some info on this phobia.  Try http://faq.emetophobia.net/emetophobia.html.  It answered all of my questions, and I laughed at how much it was like me!  I also joined two groups on yahoo devoted to this phobia.  Good luck with everything, and know that you are not the only one!  By the way, don't worry about pregnacy...studies show that emetophobic women rarely vomit at all while pregnant, and even some non-emetophobic women do not experience vomiting during pregnancy. Morning sickness does not happen to everyone.  But we emetophobics rarely do it anyway!  :)


Does it upset you that there are people out there that want to prove that Jesus did not walk on water?

No, there has been an tremendous amount of effort to provide natural explanations to the supernatural events described in the scripture. It doesn't matter how far-fetched the alternate explanations are. As long as they make no mention of the supernatural, they make national news. Read the article. Here are some choice quotes - \n\n"But they say geological core samples suggest that average temperatures were lower in Jesus' day, and that at least two protracted cold spells occurred in the region 1,500 to 2,500 years ago."\n\nWOW! What a revelation! The samples SUGGEST that in a period of one thousand years, the temperatures may have dropped to freezing temps TWO TIMES! \n\nThere's more! "In addition to chilly weather, their explanation depends on a rare physical property of the Sea of Galilee ... It is fed by salty springs along its western shore that produce plumes of dense water, thermally isolating areas that could freeze even if the entire lake did not, they assert." \n\nWell, in addition to the chilly weather that occurred twice in a thousand years, more conditions apply. If thermal isolation was ocurring, some of the areas COULD freeze. \n\nLet's recap. We're scientists and we don't believe the Biblical story is true. But, we'll pretend it is and come up with a far-fetched explanation that makes national news and makes the Bible's story sound like bunk. \n\nSo, here's the story: Twice in a one-thousand year period, the temperatures may have gotten really cold. We don't know how cold, but we'll assume that the tropical\subtropical climate of the middle east possibly even got down to freezing temps. Because we know that there is no way it could get cold enough to freeze a large body of water like the Sea of Galilee, we'll mention that there is some thermal isolation in the sea. These isolated regions may have got cold enough to freeze completely solid. These regions may even have become solid enough to support the weight of an adult male. \n\nWhat about the other details of the Biblical account? Why didn't the heavy winds that night help mix the water and dissolve these thermally isolated regions? How did these ice sheets stretch out three and a half miles and provide a perfect walkway right up to the side of a moving boat? What about Peter? He walked on the water for a little while, as well. Did he just happen to step out onto a floating piece of ice? \n\nThe solution offered by the researchers, speculative and far-fetched at best, still fails to handle the Biblical account accurately. They have taken the parts of the Biblical account that were convenient to try to discredit, but ignored the speciic details of the Biblical account. For the uninformed reader, especially those who are looking to discredit the Bible, this article is music to their ears.


How can I make a fabric snake out of a man's fie for a Rain Forest classroom project ?

You could stitch up one end of the tie, fill it with dried beans (small ones like lentils) and then stitch up the open side. Then glue little google-eyes (from a craft store) and a red tongue for a face.

Do you think Coco Crisp is better thsn Johnny Damon?

I think Crisp is the better player.  #1 he is younger and should only be getting better for the next 3 to 5 years and Damon is on the downside of his career.  #2 as others have said Damon's arm is awful.  Damon's production might be better this year offensively due to the Yankees lineup but as an all-around player I would take Crisp.  That and he has one of the best names in all of sports.

When and why did the pound sterling sign change from having 2 bars to only one bar?

It still does have two bars, apart from on keyboards - so I guess the answer could well be "when the computer revolution started". As for why, you'd have to ask the keyboard designers, but my guess is that they weren't English!


Can i charge interest for personal loan to my friend?

Sure you can. Make sure you draft a contract with interest rate and term of the loan. Also make sure you don't cross Usuary - that is the maximum interest you can charge.\n\nIf loan is LARGER then register it with county court clerk so that it stays on the record and incase of default/bank ruptcy you have first right then others.


shouldn't we impeach bush for lying about Iraq?and shouldn't the u.n.(e.u.)bring him up on war crimes?

Yes, I remember 9/11. It was pulled off by a bunch of Islamic radicals from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Their boss was in Afghanistan. Remind me again why were in Iraq?\n\nDuring the Clinton administration, the U.S. was one of 139 countries which signed the Rome Statue, a treaty to establish the ICC, but on May 6, 2002, the Bush administration refused to consider ratification and announced to the UN of the U.S. decision to nullify its signature and thus withdraw its support. The U.S. then began threatening to cut-off military aid to any country in the process of ratifying the Rome Statue which did not exempt U.S. citizens and military personnel, giving Americans immunity from prosecution.\n\nShould he be impeached? If it can be proven that he lied, yes. I think the best possibility is through the Valerie Plame incident or Jack Abramoff, though.

Where does a bumpy ridge running the length of my finger nail mean health wise?

Nail textures: Vertical ridges that appear on the nail can indicate disorders as simple as iron deficiency, poor absorption of vitamins and nutrients, overall poor health or they could indicate something as serious as kidney trouble. (So, you see why consulting your physician is so important.) These vertical ridges, as well as bumpy nails, can also suggest that one is prone to developing arthritis. Ridges running horizontally across the nail can indicate physical or mental stress.

You really need memory to actually have a computer because all the graphics even at yahoo use a lot of memory. The memory actually just basically lets your computer know about graphics and u know what just ask yourself what does memory do for you?  I bet you will find the answer to that question fast. Your brain memory lets you remember stuff and that could be important. In computers it basically does the same thing it remembers things and also lets you access things. If you didnt have memory in your computer than you could not open folders like my documents because the computer wouldnt remember what that was. There are a lot of technichions that can tell you a lot about memory and that there is also virtual memory and they could go on and on but to make a long answer short just ask yourself "what does my memory do for me" you should get your answer

There's always lemon juice with sunlight, as the person above me listed, but there are also those special shampoos such as the Pantene Pro-V shampoos or John Freida shampoos that "enhance" colour and add subtle highlights.  My friend who's a natural blonde uses the Pantene Pro-V Blonde Expressions, and it helps add highlights to her hair, especially in the summer.  If you want to drown out that washed out look of your hair, depending on what colour your hair is, you can try those shampoos, lemon juice and sunlight/blowdryer, or the sun-in stuff which is basically lemon juice too.

My daughter has spots on her belly can anyone tell me for sure what chicken pox look like?

They start out first looking like pimples that then fill up with fluid. You can almost watch more appear. Take her to a doctor to check as it is something you need to confirm as she will need to know when she is older if she has had them.\nIf it is chicken pox the best way to deal with the itchiness (and cheapest) get an old stocking and fill with uncooked oatmeal add it to a bath and let her lay in it. It really helped my kids. When the bath is finished just pull out the stocking empty it into the bin and redo when the scrathing starts again. I used a good antihistemene at night though as this not only stopped the scratching it helped them sleep. Good Luck

We know what 'pi' is, but what's the ratio of sphere's surface area to its bi-secting cross-section area?

Let's look at the general case. It turns out that for even dimensional spheres, the ratio of the 'surface area' to the 'volume' of the next lower dimensional sphere is irrational in even dimensions and rational in odd dimensions. Your cases are just special cases of this general result.


Are the FIFA 2006 World Cup matches going to be viewable as live video online? If not, why not? If so, where?

All the TV rights for the world cup belong once to Direct TV, and then when they Bankrupted in Europe Sky bought all the rights.  All games are supposed to be exclusively for Satellite/Cable subscribers (actually it is supposed to be pay-per-view), however some countries had come to an arrangement with Sky so they can broadcast National Team Games but not the whole World Cup.  There is no broadcasting Internet site TO THIS MOMENT that has an arrangement to broadcast live games.  And i think it will not happen.  So if you don´t want to miss a game, pay for satellite TV or stay with the few games your local TV Network will broadcast.


What are the unique symbols of the Archangels in the Judeo-Christian religions?

There is a form of writing known as angelic script, also called the celestial alphabet. This is bred from alchemical writings with ties to hassidic and orthodox hebrew practice. From it are derived seals and sigils. Due to the number of angels, not all have their names written in specific seals and sigils. Also since the seals are usually used in specific practice, the higher angels are the ones called upon for protection/guidance/help/so forth.\n\nFor all intensive purposes though, the hierarchy, in specific the kabbalah (the sephirotic system of names) would be the best way to go, as it holds very closely with core orthodox hebrew teachings, which is where angels orginated.\n\nCheck the links, its interesting stuff.

How can a find the molar solubility of iron hydroxide at a ph of 12?

Hummm:  You can calculate the [OH-] from the pH.  [OH-] = 10^-2.  pH + pOH = 14 (from [H+]x[OH-] = 10^(-14):  pOH = 14 - 12 = 2.  Find the solubility product for iron (III) hydroxide in a table in the back of your textbook or a handbook of Chemistry or physics. Kp = [Fe+3] x [OH-]^3. Substitute numbers in and solve for [Fe+3].  This is also the molar solubility as one mole of iron hydroxide contains one mole of Fe+3.


Have you ever had bumps on your...? IS IT CONTAGIOUS?

I suggest you see a doctor.  NO ONE here can diagnose you and neither can a doctor without examining you and possibly running some tests.  If you have a geographical tongue, these could be normal for you.  Since you should (hopefully) know what your tongue looks like and never noticed them before, then you need to be checked as obviously the bumps are something new for you.\n\nStrep throat only affects the throat...not the tongue.  If you had thrush, you would know it because you'd see white patches inside the mouth  and on the tongue that look like cottage cheese or milk curds.\n\nIt is never wise to take antibiotics you have laying around when you have no idea what is wrong with you.  The wrong antibiotic can do more harm than good.\n\nIs it contagious?  Who the heck knows without having a formal diagnosis.  Until you see a doctor, I suggest you refrain from kissing and any other "stuff".

How do I add a Scroll bar to my Microsoft Web Page?

You don't need to scroll bar appear when the page is bigger than the display dimensions, so the web browser will adjust that, to manually cause it to happen, right click on desktop and go to setting, adjust the screen resolution to say 640x800, then you might get a scroll bar on what ever page you load, same as you did not maximize a browser window when its showing.

Where to get Chicago White Sox tickets?  How much will they cost?  Where should I sit?

Look, if you can be gutsy about scalping, take the Red line L to 35th or walk along the park to the train stop. You won't be alone, there's tons of ballpark traffic. It's a block walk from the park. \n\nKeep an eye out and you'll see scalpers by the truckload. (Fakes are made for Cubs and playoff games, so don't worry). If you can negotiate, you can get great seats for face value or even up to 20% less. CPD ain't stupid, but step away from pedrestian traffic so you don't embarrass them into arresting you. \n\nYou'll be fine. Good luck!

Can you attend law school in Louisiana and take the bar in other states?

As long as you attend an ABA approved law school, you can sit for the bar in any state.  There are some people who think you should study in the state where you take the bar so you can learn local laws, but you can always learn what you didn't in school through a bar prep program.\n\nHowever, you should consider where you want to practice when you go to school - you will be networking for your future career all through school, and you will likely be getting externships, etc in the area.  So you will be better equipped to practice locally, however it's not that difficult to get a job somewhere else, especially if you do well in school.\n\nGo to the school that is the best fit for you.  As long as it is ABA approved, you will be fine for the bar.

What is the policy in the immigration reform towards U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants?

The problem with The Fourteenth Amendment Is That it has been MISINTERPRETED  in recent years to mean simply that anyone born in the U.S, under any circumstances, is an American citizen.\nThis is neither the original intent of the law nor the way it was interpreted by the courts in subsequent decades. \nSome Americans speak of birthright citizenship as if it were an immutable law of nature. \nIt is NOT, and most other nations do not, in fact, recognize it. It is only a BAD HABIT that could be broken with a simple Executive Order. \n\nAccording to estimates, some 200,000 so-called anchor babies are born in the United States every year. \nOnce a mother has birthed a child on American soil, she can then seek to obtain citizenship for herself on the strength of the family-reunification laws. \nEven before this happens, she is very hard to deport, as the mother of an American, and the full panoply of welfare benefits is available to her, as is affirmative action if she is a member of a racial minority. \n\n"The situation we have today is absurd," alleges Craig Nelsen, director of Friends of Immigration Law Enforcement, \na group of attorneys and immigration experts that is trying to do something about the problem. \n"There is a huge and growing industry in Asia that arranges tourist visas for pregnant women so they can fly to the United States and give birth to an American. \nThis was not the intent of the Fourteenth Amendment; it makes a mockery of citizenship."\n\nThe key to undoing the current misinterpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment is this odd phrase\n \n"AND SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION THEREOF." \n\nThe whole problem is caused by the fact that the meaning of this phrase, which was clear to anyone versed in legal language in 1868, has slipped with changes in usage. Fortunately, there is a large group of court precedents that make clear what the phrase actually means: \n\nThe Fourteenth Amendment EXCLUDES the children of aliens. (The Slaughterhouse Cases (83 U.S. 36 (1873)) \n\nThe Fourteenth Amendment draws a distinction between the children of aliens and children of citizens. (Minor v. Happersett (88 U.S. 162 (1874))\n \nThe phrase "subject to the jurisdiction" requires "direct and immediate allegiance" to the United States, not just physical presence. \n(Elk v. Wilkins 112 U.S. 94 (1884)) \n\nThere is NO automatic birthright citizenship in a particular case. (Wong Kim Ark Case, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)) \n\nThe Supreme Court has NEVER confirmed birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens, temporary workers, and tourists. \n(Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202, 211 n.10 (1982)) \n\nThere are other cases referring to minor details of the question.\n\nthe so-called 14th amendment was never properly ratified either. \nIn the case of Dyett v. Turner, 439 P.2d 266, 270 (1968), \nthe Utah Supreme Court recited numerous historical facts proving, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that the so-called 14th amendment was likewise a major fraud upon the American People.\n\nThose facts, in many cases, were Acts of the several State Legislatures voting for or against that proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution. \nThe Supreme Law Library has a collection of references detailing this major fraud.\n\nThe U.S. Constitution requires that constitutional amendments be ratified by three-fourths of the several States.\n As such, their Acts are governed by the Full Faith and Credit Clause in the U.S. Constitution. See Article IV, Section 1.\n\nJudging by the sheer amount of litigation its various sections have generated, particularly Section 1, the so-called 14th amendment is one of the worst pieces of legislation ever written in American history. \nThe phrase “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” is properly understood to mean “subject to the municipal jurisdiction of Congress.” \n\nFor this one reason alone, the Congressional Resolution proposing the so-called 14th amendment


What is Americas' purpose in the War in Iraq?

Alright, first of all Hussein was not a Communist he was a fascist dictator. I think you might be thinking about why he was not removed in the first war after the invasion of Kuwait. That was because the Soviet Union was still in existence and the west did not want a power vacuum in Iraq filled by a Communist regime.\n\nThe rationale behind attacking was he has used chemical weapons on his own citizens in the past and has made claims of having the capacity to deliver chemical or biological weapons by missile or air strike. He was also, and this is a fact, bankrolling and supplying suicide bombers in Israel.\n\nSince he claimed to be on a course of acquiring nuclear weapons and was adamantly supportive of Bin Laden, a preemptive strike was devised to topple Hussein and restore Iraq to a democracy.\n\nHussein had shown how bloodthirsty and cruel he could be in the first Gulf War and his decade long battle with neighbor Iran, not to mention his treatment of Kurds, Berbers and his own Shiite countrymen. There was no question given the opportunity his antipathy for the United States would lead to some kind of terrorist or military attack in the future.\n\nAs for Iraq, it really is not a 3rd world country like Afghanistan. It has tremendous oil deposits and a modern infrastructure.

what is the difference in a combi tube and an et tube?

Combi tube has an esophageal port and a tracheal port, it has 2 balloons on the tube.  It is used mostly in an emergency situation and does not require visualization of the larynx. It can be placed in either the trachea or the esophagus. Since you place it in blindly, it usually ends up in the esophagus.  An ET tube has one port and one balloon, and visualization of the larynx is required.

Will "the liquid stuff", a detoxifier, cover up prescription drugs as well as illegal drugs?

List all your scripts; its a lot easier to explain the absence of something you are permitted to have than the presence of something you are not permitted to have.  Having the list on file will prevent awkward moments in future meetings.  IF you have to pee in a cup, and IF the tox screen even tests for your scripts, and IF the liquid stuff even screens it, and IF your PO even notices it didn't show up, you can always say "I guess I didn't take that medicine that week."  I wouldn't let it happen too often, though.

Who will be next to leave American Idol?


Fireflies or lightning bugs make light within their bodies. This process is called bioluminescence and is shared by many other organisms, mostly sea-living or marine organisms. Fireflies light up to attract a mate. To do this, the fireflies contain specialized cells in their abdomen that make light.\n\nThe cells contain a chemical called luciferin and make an enzyme called luciferase. To make light, the luciferin combines with oxygen to form an inactive molecule called oxyluciferin. The luciferase speeds up the reaction, which occurs in two steps:\n\n   1. The luciferin combines with adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is found in all cells, to form luciferyl adenylate and pyrophosphate (PPi) on the surface of the luciferase enzyme. The luciferyl adenylate remains bound to the enzyme:\n\n      luciferin + ATP -------------> luciferyl adenylate + PPi\n\n   2. The luciferyl adenylate combines with oxygen to form oxyluciferin and adenosine monophosphate (AMP). Light is given off and the oxyluciferin and AMP are released from the enzyme's surface:\n\n      luciferyl adenylate + O2 -------------> oxyluciferin +AMP + light\n\nThe wavelength of light given off is between 510 and 670 nanometers (pale yellow to reddish green color). The cells that make the light also have uric acid crystals in them that help to reflect the light away from the abdomen. Finally, the oxygen is supplied to the cells through a tube in the abdomen called the abdominal trachea. It is not known whether the on-off switching of the light is controlled by nerve cells or the oxygen supply.\n\nThe luciferin-luciferase chemical reaction has been used for years to measure the amount of ATP produced in cells and by various chemical reactions. Recently, the gene (section of DNA coding for the protein) for the luciferase enzyme has been isolated, placed in the genes of other organisms, and used to follow the synthesis and/or expression of other genes (i.e. used as a reporter gene).

can any one give tips for virgins for their first sex?

Yes...it should be with someone you love.....not just with anyone. Your first time is special....it's your body and your body belongs to YOU....not anyone else.\nMake sure this is what you both want...not just what your partner wants. It's something you will have to live with.\n\nALWAYS use protection,and always have a back up...example.....if you use a condom....use a foam spermicide or other form of birth control.\nEven if you are on the pill...always use a condom...you dont want to get any diseases or wind up pregnant either.\n\nALso,relax and enjoy each other...dont just rush into intercourse. Making love is always better than just sex.\nSO if you relax and lie close to each other,caress each other's bodies,talk,fondle each other's hair....kiss passionately and intimately....don't rush..take your time.\n\nLet your body respond to theirs....and vice versa.\nIf you both are really into each other..then you both will be able to tell what the other person wants(body language).\n\nBest of all,just enjoy it....\nIf you are with someone you love...it will be EXCELLENT ;)\nGOOD LUCK

Where will the earth be in relation to the black hole in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy on Dec. 21. 2012?

About the same location it is now.  Yes the sun is orbiting the galactic center, but so is everything around us.  Our radial distance will not change dramatically in such a short period of time, and our motion within the solar neighborhood really is not that great either.\n\nSo in short, right here.\n\nOh, and you are reading way to much into the turn-over of the Mayan long count callender.  That date has more to do with thier counting system than anything else.
