What kind of  bigot would want to felonize "illegal" immigrants?

The same kind of people who feel the solution the the health issue of drug abuse is best handled by prisons...the same people who think that the US will bring democracy to other countries even if we have to kill all the "evil doers" to accomplish our goal.\n\nThere are real problems associated with illegal immigration, but it won't be solved by criminalizing the issue...that is how totalitarian regimes solve problems...hopefully the USA is better than that.

Where is the starting point of a river or what is a starting of a river?

The mouth.\nLakes,streams from mountains.The ice from mountains melt,causing tiny streams of water running down the mountain.As it goes along,more water is collected(rain etc.),and it becomes a small river.There are three stages of a river.First,the valley is narrow,second,it gets wider,and third, it is almost flat and very wide.it ends at the sea. \nHope this helps :)


Cable tv in the philippines is full of american crap.Can I receive BBC here? And how?

Sadly not. Aside from obviously BBC World, but that's only news and current affairs.\n\nThe answers above are incorrect, there's nothing available on DTH satellite in the Philippines that isn't already on cable. Digital television still hasn't arrived in the country, so there isn't a large range of channels available.\n\nTry a downloading site like UK Nova, they claim to be legal as they don't host stuff that's commercially available, but it's a bit of a grey area.\n\nOnly other answer is to buy some UK DVDs to play on a region-free player!


It seems like everyone is trying to lose weight, where are the people who've lost it?

2 years ago, I weighed almost 350 lbs, I would lose my breath walking out to the car to go to work. I had to walk up 6 flights of stairs to get to my desk at work, and was thrilled when they installed an elevator. I knew that I had to do something to make my life better for me. Now, after 2 long years of hard work, I am proud to say that I have lost 70 lbs, taking me down to 280 lbs. I know that I have lost a lot of weight, but I know that I have a lot more to lose. Here is what I did to help myself lose the weight.\n\nI changed a good portion of my eating habits. I now eat lots of fruits and veggies, whereas before, the closest I ever came to fruit was cherry cheesecake. I also started drinking tons of water. On an average day, I drink 1 gallon of water before I allow myself any other drinks. At family get togethers, I always bring a couple of veggie trays. This way, I know that I will (more than likely) have left overs, and there will be something that I will eat without feeling bad. Just so I don't get to discouraged, I allow myself to have 1 bowl of  low fat, no sugar added, vanilla ice cream a month. \n\n\nAnother thing that I did is exercising. I had to start slow, by walking around the neighborhood twice a day, three days a week. Now, I jog around the neighborhood 2 miles twice a day, three days a week. On the days that it is to cold or rainy to go outside, I do one of my workout tapes. I alternate between pilates and tie bow (not sure on the spelling). I have also joined a gym so I can do strength training. I have also enlisted the help of my best friend. I have read many articles saying that a person is more motivated and likely to lose weight with the help of a workout partner.\n\nI also enjoy swimming as a form of cario activity.\n\nI hope this info helps, and good luck with your weight loss!!


It's different on every campus.  At one school your sorority could be the "top dog", but at another one have the opposite reputation.  It's best to look at an organization as a whole before joining one.  Just because one on your campus is strong, it doesn't necessarily mean they are strong nationally.  \n\nPersonally I would avoid local organizations that are not national.  National ones have more benefits and seem to have higher standards.\n\nGood Luck with your decision.


Make a table of values.  Then plot the points.  Your graph should be a "V" shape (not a parabola which is U shaped)---whether upright, sideways, or downwards.

Should I get the insurance on my rental car?  It's $13/day. I wouldn't want to file anthr accdnt. claim w ins.

Check the terms and conditions of the credit card you are using.  Most of them will not only cover the automobile rental insurance but there is another charge called "out of service" fee.  If your rental car has been damaged while you are the renter, the companies will charge for the amount of time the car has to be in repair or "out of service".  Some of your platinum (And gold) credit cards also cover this insurance!!  If so, decline!


What is the best credit card to get when you have no credit history?

Try applying for Cap1 or Discover.  If you get denied you may have collections or something else negative on credit.  You'll want to open a secured account at either Bank of America or Wells Fargo where you will put money into a savings to act as collateral.  When you close the account you'll get that money back plus some interest.  Stay far away from companies offering a secured account that don't ask for a deposit.  They will give you a card with a full balance!  If the card has a $200 balance, you will owe $200 of the bat.  They say that they're doing you a favor because if you pay them on time you'll get better credit.  Your credit score is determined by a large part by your balance-to-credit limit ratio.  The lower you keep your balances compared to your credit limits, the better your score will be.  Using these scam cards you are giving yourself a ratio of 100%!  Stay with the big dogs or your trusted local bank if you go with a secure account.  Keep your ratio under 50% and your payments on time and you'll get offers for unsecured credit cards in 6 months or less.  Get two or three of those (keeping them under 50%) and you can close the secured account, take your deposit, and buy yourself a "congratulations" gift with the $200.

Why would a person have high keytone levels in their urine?

First of all what is a ketone? It is the result of protein and fat breakdown. Ketosis results from incomplete breakdown of fatty acids. These are the last resort items the body will use in a time of crisis. Ketosis is often obeserv4ed in people who starve themselves to diet, people on a high fat diet, pregnancy, following anesthewsia and most frequently in people with uncontrolled diabetes.

why do tough smart girls scare the hell out of boys?

In traditional social standards, the man is supposed to be the head of the family and stuff, the one who makes decisions.\nDespite all the politically correct speech about sexual egality, that image is still very present in people's subconscious.\nBut if in a couple, the woman is largely smarter than the guy, then his decisions are likely to be permanently challenged by the woman, then not only he will be frustrated but he will lose credibility to the eyes of others, like "look at this guy, he's totally dominated by his woman, what a loser."\nSee the picture?\nNow, I think most guys wouldn't mind being with a smarter lady if she's not permanently showing she's superior. So you should ask yourself if you don't act arrogant or at least that the guys perception is that you are arrogant. I think it's more about that than the smartness per se.


Are there financial resorces to pay for knee replacement surgery in michigan.?

Alas, with health care in our country ... we don't have socialized medicine where the care is dispensed only by need. If you are asking people to give you a rather complicated and expensive procedure, prepare to put on your work gloves and work for it. \n\nThe thing you have to do is look at the resources in front of you and try to figure your moves out. Somehow, you found out you needed knee replacement surgery ... could that medical practitioner work through their resources?  See what Kent County's Health Department and the State says. Find out which of the local hospitals is considered the 'teaching hospital' and try to talk to a social worker or intake counselor there. Look up where the medical schools are in our state and try to work with them as well. Use this tool called a computer and find out everything you can - become a student of this.\n\nAnd most importantly, have a good reason why. Don't tear up and talk about your hardships. We all need help in one way or another. Know how are you going to make a real difference once you get your gift and be prepared to tell everyone a reason why this is important to all of us as well as yourself.  If you have a reason for this greater then yourself, it will happen.

what is a good way to get good autographs?

Assuming you mean from living people, the first key is to be polite ... very, very polite. Don Mattingly, a former Yankee player and current coach, always said he would sign autographs for people who were polite and asked by calling him sir or Mr. Mattingly, but tried to skip over the people just yelling sign this or sticking things in front of him. Even if you are just writing a letter, be polite and your chances of getting a response improve greatly over going in the trash can. Letters can generally be sent in care of the person's agent or, in the case of athletes, team. Address info for both can generally be found online.\n\nThe next thing is to look and see if the person has an exclusive autograph contract with any companies. Usually, that means they won't sign anything, anywhere unless it is in conjunction with an event set up by the company they work for. Usually there is a pretty steep charge (anywhere from $25, $50 and up per autograph) and it can only be done on approved merchandise (usually made by the company they work for, such as Upper Deck only allowing Upper Deck trading cards to be signed). If this is the case, watch the websites of the player and that company to see if there are any signings in your area.\n\nThat will get you started ... good luck and good hunting.

Do unions have a place in the US current society - and explain why or why not?

Yes, unions have a vital place in US current society as proven by modern and ancient history. In any society the largest number of people are the working class. This group is made up of those who must work to provide for food, shelter and clothing for themselves and their families. In any society people without large amounts of money lack bargaining power and standing alone they do not have access to meet their needs in a crises. They live at the mercy of those in power. By standing together in a unified manner, the whole is greater then the separate and this gives them bargaining power to provide for individual needs such as fair compensation for a fair amount of work.

What are your thoughts on helping a loved one through a depression?

Is this a chronic depression or temporary depression due to a specific event? If it's chronic, maybe just be there when he/she needs you and make sure he/she gets professional help. If its temporary, determine the source of depression and try solving the problem or improve the situation, thus eliminate the source of depression.


Whats 2 main things theat can happen to energy stored in chemical bonds. What cells use this energy for.?

Cells use this energy for their metabolism/ life processes. the life processes include:\nGrowth\nReproduction\nRespiration\nSynthesis\nTransport\nExcretion\nHomeostasis\nNutrition\n\nATP (the molecule in which cells store energy-- specifically, it's found in the bonds), or Adenosine Tri Phosphate, is used for all of these processes. I'm not sure about what you mean, "Two main things"-- but of those proccesses listed above, the "two main" ones would probably be Homeostasis (maintaining a stable internal environment) and Synthesis...

WWII Leaders, Britain, Germany, USA, Italy, Russia?

Britain - Winston Churchill\ndate of birth: November 30, 1874\nDied on January 24, 1965.\n\nSon of Lord Randolph Churchill and an American mother, was educated at Harrow and Sandhurst. After a brief but eventful career in the army, he became a Conservative Member of Parliament in 1900.\n\nSoldier, politician and finally prime minister, Winston Churchill was one of Britain's greatest 20th-century heroes. Churchill fought with the British Army in India and Sudan, and as a journalist was captured in South Africa (where his dispatches from the Boer War first brought him to public prominence). He became a member of Parliament in 1900 and remained an MP for over 64 years.\n\nhttp://www.who2.com/winstonchurchill.html\nhttp://nobelprize.org/literature/laureates/1953/churchill-bio.html\n\nGermany - Adolf Hitler\nDate of Birth: April 20 1889\nDied on April 30, 1945\n\nFounder and leader of the Nazi Party, Reich Chancellor and guiding spirit of the Third Reich from 1933 to 1945, Head of State and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria, on 20 April 1889. The son of a fifty-two-year-old Austrian customs official, Alois Schickelgruber Hitler, and his third wife, a young peasant girl, Klara Poelzl, both from the backwoods of lower Austria, the young Hitler was a resentful, discontented child. Moody, lazy, of unstable temperament, he was deeply hostile towards his strict, authoritarian father and strongly attached to his indulgent, hard-working mother, whose death from cancer in December 1908 was a shattering blow to the adolescent Hitler.\n\nIn Vienna he acquired his first education in politics by studying the demagogic techniques of the popular Christian-social Mayor, Karl Lueger, and picked up the stereotyped, obsessive anti-Semitism with its brutal, violent sexual connotations and concern with the "purity of blood" that remained with him to the end of his career.\n\nhttp://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/hitler.html\n\nUSA - Franklin Delano Roosevelt\nDate of Birth: January 30, 1882\nDied on April 12, 1945\n\n He was elected President in November 1932, to the first of four terms. By March there were 13,000,000 unemployed, and almost every bank was closed. In his first "hundred days," he proposed, and Congress enacted, a sweeping program to bring recovery to business and agriculture, relief to the unemployed and to those in danger of losing farms and homes, and reform, especially through the establishment of the Tennessee Valley Authority.\n\n In 1936 he was re-elected by a top-heavy margin. Feeling he was armed with a popular mandate, he sought legislation to enlarge the Supreme Court, which had been invalidating key New Deal measures. Roosevelt lost the Supreme Court battle, but a revolution in constitutional law took place. Thereafter the Government could legally regulate the economy.\n\nWhen the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Roosevelt directed organization of the Nation's manpower and resources for global war.\n\nAs the war drew to a close, Roosevelt's health deteriorated, and on April 12, 1945, while at Warm Springs, Georgia, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage.\n\nhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/fr32.html\n\nItaly - Benito Mussolini\nDate of Birth July 29, 1883\nDied on April 1945\n\nBENITO MUSSOLINI, (1883-1945), Fascist dictator of Italy from 1922 to 1943. He centralized all power in himself as the leader (il duce) of the Fascist party and attempted to create an Italian empire, ultimately in alliance with HITLER's Germany. The defeat of Italian arms in WORLD WAR II  brought an end to his imperial dream and led to his downfall.\n\nMussolini was born in Predappio, near Forli, in Romagna, on July 29, 1883. His father, Alessandro, was a blacksmith, and his mother, Rosa, was a schoolteacher. Like his father, Benito became a fervent socialist.\n\nIn November 1914 he founded a new paper, Il Popolo d'Itali


how do you differenciate between luv and lust?

Love is a process, perhaps born out of lust and/or hopefully when in love, or even in marriage in love, we can still lust for our mate.\n\n  Lust is a physical reaction to a form of attraction,,,IE: Arousal.\n\n  It may pass as rapidly as getting rejected?\n\n  Love, by popular opinion should be lasting, emotionally involved, respectfully expressed, joyfully shared and not taken for granted.\n\n   It's also an irrational emotion, often causing pain in the same heartbeat as joy. It may have many definitions, and all may fit with respect to the Two who are personally involved.\n\nRev. Steven

Contrary to what the processes box says is running and what is not is not always 100% true. Your OS alone depending on what version and what its performing can take a bit of your memory but not that much. Seems to me you have one of two things. You either have a virus running in the back ground using your computer as a slave, or you burnt out one of your memory sticks, which is highly possible.

Is it possible to see the deities names (Hinduism) written in Sanskrit?

Sage, as for your question, have you tried a google/Yahoo search?  Or try the Languages section at Yahoo Answers?  Maybe people at Languages may be able to provide you an answer?  :-)  Or try the Social/Culture or Mythology sections.  Perhaps the tattoist may have books on that kinda thing at hisher shop, as well.  :-)  \n\nSOME tattooists are willing to do the work for you---meaning they do the search, etc.  If you ask respectfully and willing to pay a fee or tip for their "extra work", they might be willing to do so.  I had a tattooist do work on my largest tat (shown at my blog). \n\nKoresh, if that is cultural misappropiration, then I am also guilty of it---I have the Egyptian Eye of Horus on my upper back shoulder. :-)  It still remains true to my soul to this day.  Isn't everyone guilty of that to a degree?  Frankly, it is also in my humble opinion that if we "Borrow with Respect" from other religions and cultures, I don't think many adherents of religion/culture would mind.  Imitation is often the highest form of flattery! ;-)\n\nEDIT:  Found this site discussing Sanskirt tattooes---dunno if it will help, but you could read it over and ask questions.

what percentage of the contribution margin is profit on units sold in excess of the breakeven point?

It depends on the fixed costs since the contribution margin is the excess of sales over the fixed costs.  The breakeven point takes into account these fixed costs, so you'll have to remove that factor before getting a percentage.

what is the complete heat treatment for tanzanite to enhance its color?

"Heating of gemstones to enhance their color goes back centuries. It is considered a natural type of treatment since the process is basically a continuation of the processes that occur in the ground. The stone is heated to a very high temperature, which causes the inclusions (ref. Why Gemstones Have Color in Colored Gemstones 101) to reform themselves and improve the color by making either darker, lighter, more intense, or of a different color. It has been properly stated that without heat treatment the world would be without many colored gemstones. Because colored gemstones occurring in the colors we see are very rare. But heating can take an off-color stone and turn it into a beautiful gemstone. So don't be worried about heat treatment.\n\nCan I wear it everyday?: Heat treatment, for the most part, is permanent. As in the case of the tanzanite shown above. This stone is a brown color coming out of the ground. But turns a beautiful blue/purple (shown at left) after heating. The few exceptions would be kunzite which will tend to fade from its medium pink color to light pink and then colorless in daylight (which is why its called the midnight stone), and yellow sapphire, which can also fade when exposed to direct sunlight.\n\nWhat does this treatment do to the stone?: Basically, it rearranges the atoms in the gemstone. Sometimes, as in the case of ruby, the stone is heated almost to a point of melting, which lets the aluminum oxide in the stone reform to what is basically a new crystal structure. This lets the chromium reform to give off a better color of red. The same can apply to a type of sapphire known as gouda sapphires. These are milky white sapphires that turn blue, and account for many of the promotional quality sapphires out on the market today."\n\n"Heat treatment, for the most part, is permanent. As in the case of the tanzanite shown above. This stone is a brown color coming out of the ground. But turns a beautiful blue/purple (shown at left) after heating. The few exceptions would be kunzite which will tend to fade from its medium pink color to light pink and then colorless in daylight (which is why its called the midnight stone), and yellow sapphire, which can also fade when exposed to direct sunlight."\n\n"Through heat treatment at 500+ degrees celcius the rough tanzanite crystals turn their beautiful purplish-blue color. The rough tanzanite gems are then faceted into various shapes and then marketed to dealers who wholesale the finished gems to jewelry manufacturers and retailers. Tanzanite colors occur in various shades of gray, brown, violet, blue, reddish-purple, and tints of green."\n\n"The raw uncut tanzanite is put in a furnace or oven and brought near its melting point, then held there at that temperature for a period of time, inducing the stone to darken in color as it would in the earth if left to its own. This process may sound simple, but it is far from being an easy or foolproof technique. It is quite possible in this heat treatment process to have the tanzanite melt or overcook, leaving you with a worthless pile of rubble."


I was 16yrs old, and on vacation with my family in Texas.  I met the girl who was a friend of my cousins there.  we hung out alot and ended up at a friends house late one night and we had sex.  It was great for me, but not so great for her.  I had no experience and I was done before she got started!  It was not a one night stand though.  We had sex several more times.  It was special to me, and I will never forget her.

What is the best way to loose a flabby tummy? Woman and 45 yrs old?

Firstly, you need to stop eating carbohydrates and proteins together, but rather proteins and vegetables (steamed).\nSecondly, YOU HAVE to exercise daily.  Walking, skipping, swimming or running.  Running helps with your cardio vascular and so helps reduce plenty fats hiding in all crevices of your body.  Being consistent on your exercises help keep unncessary fat off.\nThirdly, Drink plenty of water, not cold from the fridge, but cooled water.  Thaw it out for a little while.\nFourthly, tuck in your stomach as you walk or sit or jog.\nFifthly, do deep breathing exercises.\nLastly, visit the toilet twice a day.  Use castor oil first thing in the morning before you eat for at least 2 days, or take cooling 3 days (with carrot water) and then purge your colon.  A good cleanser is SCulpt and Cleanse.\nIf you do this, guaranteed that you will see a flat stomach.\nGOOD LUCK!!!


Can I put video on my computer from my VCR  and transfer to CD's?

You could if you had a TV tuner with video inputs (or some VIVO video cards). You plug the output cables of the VCR in to the back of the TV tuner. Set the Tuner software to record to MPEG or whatever then you would need software to convert that to VCD (Nero would be best) Better yet to burn to DVD.

Will Mexico take back all the land the USA stole from them ?

Umm...no.  First of all, the United States has never stolen any land from Mexico.  We won a few wars.  We made the peace agreements.  Mexico legally signed their lands over to us.  And this all occurred close to 150 years ago.\n\nThe notion that they're going to take Texas and other Southwestern states "back" is ridiculous.  People are coming over the border to find work as there is very little in Mexico.\n\nAnd, even for a minute, the Mexicans are trying to take land "back" from the US, we would declare war on them before any of that would happen.  And then they would lose and they'd finally stop complaining.\n\nI don't think anyone should worry about that though, as the Mexican government can't seem to do anything correctly, anyway.

how do you run 2 monitors with windows xp pro?

Yes you can run two monitors with this graphics card.  One of the monitors needs to be connected using the standard VGA port.  The other will need to be connected via the DVI port which is larger than the VGA port.\n\nMake sure that the monitor has the necessary ports for you to connect to this card.\n\nFirst, connect one monitor and boot up the PC.  Once logged in, then connect the second monitor.\n\nOn the desktop, right click and choose Properties.  In the subsequent dialog box that appears choose the tab labelled Settings. You should then see two boxes depicting screens labelled 1 and 2.\n\nOne of these will be your primary monitor, choose the slightly greyed out one by just clicking once on it and highlighting it.\n\nNext, choose/tick the box where it says "Extend my windows desktop onto this monitor".  Click Apply click OK and you should be done.  It's that simple.

The reason the world is round is pretty a more than imaginary question and you could keep asking that question forever and ever without getting the right answer.God is the supreme being, the most powerful and he just created the world the way he liked.If it were you that had so much power,won't you do anything you want with anything you desire?\nLike I said there would be lots of answers to this question scientifically,geographically and mentally but the main point is that God is the all powerful.

Who else is exited about tonight's Devils game?

One of the best runs in NHL history.\nI've been a loyal Devils fan almost all my life. Now I live here in Anchorage, AK- where the Devils are a local favorite because of Scotty Gomez. Tons of fellow fans around make it really fun to go to the bar and watch them play. Hockey is taken pretty seriously up here. The talk around town is that the Devils have a good enough team to  take The Cup this year. Especially after this recent 12-0 run. My girlfriend is a Avalanche fan, so we plan on watching ALOT of playoff hockey soon.\nLETS GO DEVILS

In texas, if a 17 yr old ran away, could their parents do anything about it?

17 is the age of consent in Texas, but please don't do this to your parents.  I know they are difficult now, every person that has EVER been 17 has experienced this phenomenon.  Try talking things out with your friends that are your age. I promise you that they are going through the same difficulties that you are experiencing.  Please, please, don't run away.\nMaybe you could stay  with a friend, temporarily, who's parents seem more reasonable.

who will win the french open.your favourite player is federer or nadal.all time favourite?

I'd love to see Federer win but Nadal still seems the safest bet. That said, with all the hype surrounding the clay-court winning streak, it almost seems like he could be riding for a fall. It often happens that way in sports. When someone is seen as so much of an invincible favorite going into a championship, that's when an upset or an injury or some other kind of misfortune occurs. Look at the New York Yankees. In 2000 they won the World Series over the Mets (the famous "Subway Series"). The next year they go out as HEAVY favorites over the Diamondbacks and...LOSE! So yes, stranger things have happened.\nAs far as my favorite of the two. Federer, hands down. Such all-round dominance over the past 3 years, 7 Slams without losing in a final, the best game to watch by a long way. He mixes offense and defense, and can hit every coceivable shot.\nFavorite of all-time. I guess, Sampras. When you look at what he did for most of a decade against a particularly strong top ten. The amount of classic matches. He's a natural pick. \nFederer looks like he could reach that level, but he's still got a lot of winning to do first

Your view on the border issues and immigration.?

i am not against immigration just illegal immigration i once said on here this kind of stuff has been going on since the start of time and i was told i didnt know what i was talking about heres a example \n\n:With the onset of hard economic times in the 1870s, other immigrants and European Americans began to compete for the jobs traditionally reserved for the Chinese. With economic competition came dislike and even racial suspicion and hatred. Such feelings were accompanied by anti-Chinese riots and pressure, especially in California, for the exclusion of Chinese immigrants from the United States. The result of this pressure was the Chinese Exclusion Act, passed by Congress in 1882. This Act virtually ended Chinese immigration for nearly a century. \n\n\nCurrently, millions illegal aliens commandeer jobs away from American citizens. If they don't steal those jobs, they depress the wages to the point of legalized slavery. We have an estimated one million illegal alien Chinese in this country (Source: March 2005 Forbes Magazine). At the same time, we outsource jobs to China where a billion people can't wait to make 50 cents an hour. Human smugglers bringing illegals into America make $7 billion annually according to the report. \n\nDo they work the jobs Americans won't do? False! If American doctors were paid $5.00 an hour they wouldn't be working those hospital jobs either. \n\nYou have to ask yourself if you want illegal immigrant doctors working at minimum wage to perform a by-pass heart surgery on you? Would you like an illegal immigrant lawyer defending you in court for $5.00 an hour? How about a $5.00 an hour illegal immigrant college professor teaching your kids calculus? How about an illegal alien truck driver driving down the road at 70 MPH with 80,000 pounds of steel, no ability to read English and a fifth grade education-from Mexico's educational system? \n\nMeanwhile, profits soar for corporations while the middle class of America plummets into worsening unemployment. Will America drop into Third World conditions as economist Paul Roberts predicts? At the current rate of 4.1 million legal and illegal newcomers imported into the United States annually, it's only a matter of time before, we too, manifest conditions of the Third World. You can't drown the labor market with millions of people and expect to keep your wages high when immigrants will undercut you. \n\nThat's why the pay in China or India is less than $10.00 per day. They have 2.4 billion people in those two countries. That's why they live subsistence lives. In time, that reality will manifest itself in America as the middle class vanishes. It's already happening. You need look no further than California as an example of the first Third World State of America. \n\nCall your representatives

What kind of physical activities can I do to lose weight with A Bad back?

Actually your best start is to stretch in the morning.  Get a good stretch DVD and begin your day with circulation and blood flow.  It's amazing how energizing it is and how well it allieviates pain.  Once you begin with your stretch video and are in a routine - then you can do some shorter walks, it's amazing how much weight you can loose and how energizing it is.  Give it a try - I swear by this because I am a chronic pain patient and ended up loose 22 lbs on this routine alone.  Good luck!


How does the rapid increase in the rapid increase in world population fit in with the theory of reincarnation?

Concerning the portion of your question dealing with population, it is a New Age thought that most (if not all) of the souls now active are all returning at once due to the transition from the Piscian Age to the Agrarian Age. So we're all back at about the same time as opposed to being scattered over longer periods. Another, complimentary, thought is that other souls are advancing to this world at this time, again due to the transition but this coupled with their need to develop further and this being their chance. In so far as the birth of a child into good circumstances is concerned, consider this ... In dealing with past lives we aren't necessarily dealing with just the last one. Some times issues may date back MANY lives and still not have been dealt with. To continue your example of the three year old child who's past life had been very good, and this deals more with karma than reincarnation ... What about the one before THAT, or the one before THAT, or ... You get the idea. Hope this helps. :-)

Who was Dale Carnegie?\nThe following is excerpted from the 1983 World Book Encylopedia \nCARNEGIE, DALE (1888-1955), was a pioneer in public speaking and personality development. He became famous by showing others how to become successful. His book How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936) has sold more than 10 million copies and has been translated into many languages. His books became popular because of his illustrative stories and simple, well-phrased rules. Two of his most famous maxims are, "Believe that you will succeed, and you will," and "Learn to love, respect and enjoy other people." His other books include How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (1948). Toward the beginning of his career, Carnegie wrote Public Speaking and Influencing Men in Business (1931), which became a standard text.\n\nCarnegie attended Warrensburg (Mo.) State Teachers College, and became a salesman for Armour and Company. Later, he taught public speaking to businessmen. He was born in Mary ville, Mo.\n\n\n--Carl Niemeyer  \n\nhttp://www.westegg.com/unmaintained/carnegie/the-man.html

Has anyone ever seen or felt a ghost? if so what happened?

One time on a camping trip I was walking back from the bathrooms at that moment right between day and night and I saw someone walk across the front of the site and stop behind a tree. So I figure one of the people is going to jump out and try to surprise me, so I pull out my flashlight, walk up to the tree, turn on the light, and there's no one there.\n\nAs a child the chandelier used to swing from side to side, and the radio would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.\n\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked a mobile hanging motionless, and said, "If there is anyone else here, make the mobile spin." The next moment, the mobile began to spin.\n\nI rarely ever actually see ghosts, but one time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a Pagan festival, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, calmly welcoming us back.

What's gone wrong with the Sydney Swans this year? Can they win the AFL in 2006?

Firstly i don't think Sydney are doing much wrong. They are playing by their game plan, basically have the same player list (only lost Ball and a few others) so it has to come down to a couple of things.\n\n1. The new rules that have be brought in, ie kicking out from behind straight away, etc, have encouraged a faster flowing game, and quite honestly Sydney cannot manage this. They haven't got the squad to match Eagles, Saints, Bulldogs, etc when its a free flowing game. The Swans only chance of winning is to slow it down and play the footy like they did last year. Tight, scrappy and crap to watch.\n\n2. i think other teams have caught onto their game plan. they have played their games differently against them. Opposition aren't trying to go toe-to-toe against the Swans rather sit out and the wings, get the ball and run it. it totally ruins their backline. \n\nThese are the reasons the swans will NOT win the flag in 2006.\n\np.s i am a brisbane lions support of way back


Coachella rocks! Make sure to read the official FAQ on their website:\nhttp://www.coachella.com/rules/\n\nThe website linked in the sources section below has some pretty good pointers too.\n\nI highly recommend bringing the following to prevent massive uncomfort:\n-sunblock\n-hat\n-chapstick with SPF\n-sunglasses\n\nFood is pretty expensive (like $7-$15 per meal). So is merch. Bring a lot of cash, or be prepared to wait in line at the ATM.\n\nYou can't bring bottled water in with you. It's $2 per bottle inside the festival grounds, but once you buy your first bottle you can always refill for free at the water fountains.\n\nMake sure to designate a meeting spot if you're coming with a group of friends. You most likely WILL lose each other.\n\nAnd most of all, have fun! :)

What is the best way to financially manage a small condo trust?

No, you won't need a tax ID number for the trust. It will carry the ID of the person who set up the trust (trustee usually).\nIf the trust will be generating income by, for example, receiving rental income, it might need one.\n\nBottom line:  see an estate attorney.

Why do people say evolution makes more sense than creation?

Because there is plenty of proven scientific evidence to back it up as opposed to ID which has faith and a book, nothing more.

I lose everything¿what does it means?¿how can i help it?

It means you are either stressed or that you don't have "presence of mind" (which means you aren't thinking about what you're doing because you are busy thinking about other things). It is okay. Just keep a spare set of keys hidden in a safe place.


Different types of gas flow that impact breathing?

why my hand muscles feel weak and can't grip anything every morning i wake up?

It happens to the best of us. I think it is because they are so inactive during sleep, they need time to "wake up" just like we do!


it is genetic.  during embryonic stages the skin pigments kinda move around and the patterns are all different, just like dogs and cats.  it is usually on multiple genes and varies a bit.  our fingerprints do a similar thing.  in the womb we move around and actually make our fingerprints smear to their current way.

What are all the layers of the atmosphere and describe them.?

1st layer-The layer which is close to the earth's surface is called the troposphere.There are dense layers of gases in the troposphere.\n\n2nd layer-Above the troposphere is the stratosphere.The statosphere has higher clouds and jet aircrafts.There is a stretch of ozone gas in the lower part of the stratosphere.This is called the ozone layer.\n\n3rd layer -Above the stratosphere is the mesophere.\n\n4th layer-Above the meosphere is the ionosphere.The ionosphere  is useful for telecommunication.\n\n5th layer-Above the ionosphere is the thermosphere.Meteors burn up as shooting stars and auroras glow in the thermosphere\n\n6th layer-Above the thermosphere is the exosphere.Exosphere is the outer atmosphere.

Child custody...is this a joke...what will the judge think?

Agreeing with the girl above.  Esp. about the journal.  Keep track of EVERYTHING.\n\nMy guess is also that it is a scare tactic.  Instability??? Please, is PRISON stable??? \n\nIf he has not supported the child, seen him, etc., you have nothing to worry about. Forget the joint custody the girl above mentioned, I would fight for supervised visitation if he gets to see the child at all.\n\nI am wondering where he got the $$ for any atty.\n\nHere is where you can also find a little comfort in the fact that courts like to keep kids with their mothers.\n\nYou do need to get a lawyer.  If you cannot afford one contact your local bar assocaition or pro bono program.  If you cannot get a lawyer fast enough, go to the court and file for a continuance.  DO NOT GO TO COURT ALONE!!\n\nBut as far as having any concerns about losing your child, I certainly wouldn't sweat it.  I know its hard not to worry, but if you are telling the whole story, he doesn't have a chance...

What is fibroblast protocol culture from human skin?

Primary cultures or immortalized cells?\nI use CF3 and they grow just fine in DMEM + 10% BCS, they have contact inhibition, so you need to split them twice a week (if they become 100% confluent, they will detach from the dish).


Wildlife management is dependant on hunting. Not only for the financial resource (Pittman/Roberston Act) but as a contributing factor in maintaining healthy populations for a particular habitat. Take the emotions out of the question and the result is a scientific quota passed on to a growing number of ethical sportsmen who hold respect for the resource, firearm, law, landowners, themselves and the future of hunting.\n\nIt is my hope that anyone reading this will take the time to talk to a biologist and discover for themselves how hunting laws and ethical practices have helped game populations in the last 100 years. The activity may not appeal to you but it is beneficial and deserves to be understood.


The Bible doesn't give a whole lot of information on early man.  For example, we don't know how genetically similar Adam and Eve were.  We also don't know where the wives of their sons came from.  Did God create other humans?  Did they marry their sisters?  The Bible doesn't give answers to these questions.  Maybe God didn't think it was very important for us to know.  Perhaps early man wasn't interested in the complex details of the situation, so it wasn't recorded.\n\nChristians refer to people as God's children because of the special relationship that humans can have with God.  Just as our human father is suppose to love and take care of us, encourage us and help us grow, so that's the type of relationship that God wants to have with us.

Why do you think Mrs.Kawashima,Ko,and Yoko decide to leave Nanam?

yes, increased violence in Korea, and i think that Japan had also taken over parts of Korea, which would make the Koreans resentful of the Japanese. Once the Pacific front became active in WWII, the Koreans then had the opportunity to turn against the Japanese living in Korea. I also believe (sorry it's been awhile since i read this book) that the family was in Korea because Mr. Kawashima was in the Japanese military and so they were living on a naval base. This fact, plus their heritage, would make them prime targets for the Koreans. This is the more historical view of the situation, but i hope it helps!


There's a number of ways to answer this.  Einstein's theory of Relativity says that all things are moving at the speed of light through spacetime, with stationary objects moving wholely in the time dimension.  As you start moving, some of your velocity is directed away from time and in a physical dimension.  When you approach the speed of light, you are traveling very little in the time dimension and mostly in the physical dimesions.  If you actually reached the speed of light you would experience no time whatsoever; your entire trip across the universe would be one instantaneous flash.  However, the faster you travel, the more difficult it is to travel even faster.  When you are traveling relativistically, Newton's second law of F=ma no longer applies.  You continue adding force, but rather than creating acceleration, you'll begin gaining mass.


Is there a hotline for teens to call if they are sexually harassed by school mates? if so, is it confidential?

Well follow your heart, I mean if you like ballet do it don't fall under peer pressure and what your friends think is cool and what they don't think is cool. Do it if you like it other wise that is all I can say. Do what you think is best not what peeps on Yahoo think is best or what friends at school think is best.


What is the reson behind calling "LOVE" in tennis,badminton,TT..etc???

While watching the men's final at the French Open today, I noticed that the French scorekeeper used "zero" in place of "love" when announcing the score. This is interesting because "love" was originally derived from the French "l'oeuf" which means "egg", a reference to the egg-shaped numeral zero. The British then bastardized "l'oeuf" into "love". Apparently, the French no longer use "l'oeuf" or even "amour", the French translation of "love", but just plain old "zero".

My 7 year old son refuses to eat anything with vegetables or fruit in it.?

Sounds like either your kid has horriffic allergy problems or is suffering from spoiled brat syndrome... or one other, much worse possibility.  If it's the former, your doctor should be more careful about testing kids.  If allergies are the case, then your child should have more than an emotional response to eating vegetable, like breaking out in hives or pain.\n\nIf not allergies and your discription is correct, please watch Nanny 911.  You child may be spoiled because you cave in to his demands.  At some point, almost every child engages in a battle of wills with their parents for household control.  If the parents win, peace.  If the child wins, hell on earth.  Spoil the child, ruin his life.  If you care, you must win through persistence and patience (these will be repeatedly tested!!) in order for your child to function in a society.  Otherwise, expect to visit your kid in jail or a homeless shelter later (or support them until you die).  More immediately, a spoiled child may suffer from obesity and severe constipation if you both continue on this path (not to mention your own headaches!).\n\nNow the really dark stuff.  Has your child been molested or otherwise abused?  If this sort of acting out is not characteristic of your child, then you might want to (carefully, not giving the kid any great ideas about how to make your life more miserable in the battle for household control) check this out - particularly if a spouse or another significant other spends a great deal of alone time with the kid.  Kids don't know how to tell you this stuff (let alone most adults!), but acting out is usually symptomatic of something going wrong.  If you are the person abusing, then I have no sympathy for you.  Hell hath no fury as the hatred of your own children.


We ride a harley,looking for stores at reasonable price to buy  helmets jackets.We live in Randolph Ma?

Hot Leathers has pretty good prices on leather jackets. They aren't top of the line but they are good quality and they have very reasonable prices on leather. There is one in the Silver City Galleria in Taunton and one in East Providence/Rumford. I'm sure there are probably more near Boston. As for helmets, believe it or not Benny's has DOT approved helmets very cheap. Again they are not the best on the market but they look good and meet all the safety standards required by DOT. Pep Boys also carries some good DOT helmets for 50 to 100 bucks.\n\nSide note to helmets. They are only good for one impact. If you drop it to hard that will seriously affect its performance. You should never buy a used helmet. Its like buying a used condom. You have not idea where its been or what its done.

Will the Cubs have a winning record?  Thoughts about D. Lee's injury?

The Cubs will still have a winning record with the absence of Derrick Lee.  They still have a well rounded team and one person doesn't make the team, although they do help a lot.  The Cubs will definitely miss his bat, but Mabry should help out a little on both the offensive and defensive ends.  One good thing is that Lee is only going to be out for 2-3 months which will put him back in the line-up mid-season. But as long as the Cubs can hold on without him until then, when he returns they could still be in contention for a playoff spot.  Or at least a winning record.

The song is "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! At the Disco\n\nPete Wentz from Fall Out Boy discovered them and signed them to his label Decaydence. They are all quite young and have a very cool sound. If you like that song you should definitely check out their album - "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" The album is great! Their sound is kind of pop punk infused with jazz and dance. Definitely, definitely check them out!


In one sense,  both.\n\nHOW are we "free"?\n\nWe are free ABENTS --that is, we are free to CHOOSE, can freely make choices about what we do.  But, of course, we are not free to do just ANYTHING because of the limitations of our own nature and place in creation.\n\nSo, for instance, in may in one sense by "free" to do lift a building but what does that mean if I do not have the strength to do so?   I'm free to figure out complex mathematical formulas, but if I do not have the mental facility (and/or if the training is not available to me) what does the "freedom" mean?  Of what value is it?\n\nIn the same way, though I am a free AGENT, that does not mean my "will" is free.  In fact, Scripture is quite clear that human beings, born with a sinful, selfish nature are "slaves" to sin.  That is, even if we are "free" to do whatever we want, if our whole bent is to want only to serve my self, not to love God or others, my very will (what I choose) is itself BOUND, not ABLE to desire and choose what is good.\n\nThat is, unless and until God does something to FREE my will from bondage to sin and self to do what I humanity was created to do (to delight in loving and serving him --to FREELY choose what is good, as does God and the angels).\n\nThis is why the Reformers (not just Calvin!), following Augustine, taught that we are free to act as we will, but our WILLS --and WANTS-- are not free, but bound to sin.   In fact, Luther responded to the contrary idea by Erasmus with a book called *The BONDAGE of the Will.*   This is also a large part of what the Reformed & Presbyterians churches mean by "total inability" (a more accurate term than the oft misunderstood "total depravity").\n\nTo some degree the whole church has taught that our very WILLS, as sinners, have a bent against God, and that whatever "freedom" we have is limited by our sinful nature.  (But they also teach that the believer experiences some freedom from sin in this life, and perfect freedom hereafter.)\n\nDo note, in all this, that the Christian conviction is that really being FREE does NOT mean 'being my own ruler' (autonomy), but being free to want/choose and do what I was CREATED for.  (Compare a fish in the ocean, free to swim -- it is not "freedom" for it to leave the water.)\n\n-------------------\n\n"Free" AND Predestined?\n\nEveryone here seems to be making the assumption that we must either be free to choose OR God has predestined events --or at best that he has predestined things in a very general way and the rest is all up to us.\n\nI suggest that, as impossible as it is for OUR finite minds to reconcile the two it is NOT one or the other, or a compromise between the two, but BOTH are true.\n\nNow I noticed that the "we are free" side did not cite any verses, or any other evidence beyond their own.   Actually I think they could have.  Because we ARE free in the sense discussed above (and with the limitations!)  And the 'predestination' side is also absolutely correct to insist that God is sovereign, and especially that we (as sinners) do not freely choose to respond to him, unless and until HE choses us and acts to free our sinful WILLS to respond.  (Before that we 'freely' choose to rebel; when he has graciously wooed, won and turned our hearts** we freely choose to follow.)\n\n**note that he does not, in the process, violate our human nature, but works in keeping with it ('he does not treat us like sticks or rocks' the Reformers would say)\n\nThere is, of course, still a great mystery here and much that our proud hearts do not want to accept (we don't want to "let God be GOD!") -- but as with many questions about the nature and acts of God we should not be suprised that we cannot wrap our minds around it.  If WE understood how it all fits together WE would be God!   Yet we CAN understand and exp

Plants are classified in several different ways, and the further away from the garden we get, the more the name indicates a plant's relationship to other plants, and tells us about its place in the plant world rather than in the garden. Usually, only the Family, Genus and species are of concern to the gardener, but we sometimes include subspecies, variety or cultivar to identify a particular plant. \n\nStarting from the top, the highest category, plants are classified as follows. Each group has the characteristics of the level above it, but has some distinguishing features. The further down the scale you go, the more minor the differences become, until you end up with a classification which applies to only one plant\n\n\n\nThe Site below should help you understand plant classification better

how can I Find the furture value of the annuity due?

I believe the answer should be $174,401.97  My finance teacher showed us that you can do pretty much any financial calculation in Excel.  That is what I used to calculate this answer.  All you need to do is open a blank worksheet, type each value (2500, 15 & 0.10) in different cells and then in a blank cell click the paste function button.  Since the periods are semiannual you will actually need to input 30 since 15 years times 2 periods a year is 30.  Also the rate will be decreased to 5% since again 10% a year = 5% per period.  In the Financial category there should be one listed as FV (future value).  A box will pop up asking you to input the necessary data.  It will then calculate the correct answer for you.  The answer will appear to be negative unless you make one of the values negative i.e. I input 2500 as -2500.  Be sure to put a '1' in the last box if the payments are made at the beginning of the period.  I hope this helps you.

how much is the tax in australia on wages?

It depends on how much you earn. Australia has a progressive income tax system. The more you earn, the more tax you pay on the extra dollar you earn.

Sure, why not?  \n\nSociety determines what is and isn't morally wrong, not the bible. American society says that christians can eat pork, even though the bible forbids it. The bible says that women shouldn't wear jewelry, yet christian women wear it to CHURCH. The bible says you should kill a disobidient child, but we know that to be wrong.\n\nThe bible DOESN'T say that you can't marry an 8 year old girl, but we know it to be wrong. So, we do and avoid things because of social taboos, not biblical.

how to reduce drying cost in wet processing?


It means two people must share the room to get it at that price.\nLike if the ad says "$500 per person twin share per night" then it will cost $1000 for you and a friend to stay the night.\nI guess if you didn't have anyone to share your room you would have to pay the full $1000.

"if there is nothing out there, it would be an awful waist of space."


I'll tell you my story in short. I gained an ungodly amount of weight when I was ill 2 years ago. In Sept, 2005, I went on a strict diet, because my doctor told me I had to lose the weight or die. Since Sept 1, 2005, I have lost a total of 92 lbs. It has been hard, but what I have done is this...I drink lots and lots of water. I only eat small portions, watching to make sure I don't consume many carbs each day. That is not to say that I stay away from carbs all together, but I try and stay between 20 and 30 carbs per day. Anyone who knows me can tell you I carry around a bottle of water all day long, because I drink so much of it. Water helps to keep me feeling full, and also helps the complexion. I'm living proof that this works!


The femur is the large bone in the thigh that connects up to the ball and socket joint in the pelvis.  A femoral neck fracture is commonly known as a broken hip.  The fracture is usually dislocated and usually requires a complete hip replacement where the entire ball is replaced with a prosthesis.  There is a new surgery that uses a smaller incision and has a shorter recovery.  Best of luck!


what are theeffects of gravity on the human body?

On the liquid parts of the body, gravity has the normal effect to "attract the liquids towards the Earth", meaning to bring the blood down to the feet (the heart recirculates the blood through the whole body); that is why when your boold pressure is low, doctors recommend you to lie down so the blood gets to your brain easily.\nOn the solid parts of the body, little or no effect of gravity should be noticed.\n\nNow, the psychological effects of gravity (or lack of it) are still unknown, and experiments are being done all the time to get an answer to this.

Where do you find cool people to hangout with when your a woman of 38?

Bingo!\n\nOr you could go to a nightclass in a local school where you will meet new people.  You don't have to do anything hard or academic, my local school has night classes ranging from water colour painting to salsa dancing to learning how to speak a foreign language.  All those people who you could meet and they would have a similar interest as you as well.
