Whats the controversy with DNA Barcoding vs. traditional morphological taxonomy?

The goal behind DNA barcoding is that anyone, regardless of training can obtain an organism in the field, sequence DNA, and identify it to species.  This would be done by building a database with almost every species ever described in it.\n\nMost traditional morphologists would not mind the creation of such a database in theory, but oppose it as impractical.  The cost will be quite daunting and will almost certainly draw from funds that could go to traditional studies (including genetic studies conducted in an evolutionary framework).  The ability of this section of gene (CO1) to universally distinguish species has been questioned.  The universality of primers has also been questioned.  The main fear is that it will be perceived as a replacement for traditional taxonomy.  Genetic distance is a very crude approximation of species' splits at best, and a meaningless distraction at worst.

They always told me not to drink milk during a cold. why is that so? Is that just an old saying?

It was thought that drinking milk increased mucas which during a cold would cause more coughing but after testing this was disproved.\n\nhttp://www.mercola.com/2004/aug/28/milk_mucus.htm\n\n\nShould I stop drinking milk when I have a cold since it causes more mucus? \n\nThe belief has been held for centuries that milk causes mucus formation, although the few studies on this topic have failed to demonstrate any effect of milk on mucus production. Many people confuse the temporary, slight thickening of saliva after drinking milk with mucus. There is no scientific research showing that milk produces mucus in the airways or the throat. In fact, drinking lots of fluids when you have a cold is important in speeding up recovery. \n\nhttp://www.dairycouncilofca.org/dairy/dair_milk_main.htm#7\n\nHope this helps!  :)

Medication may be used to treat benign prostate hyperplasia. Alpha-blockers, such as Hytrin, Cardura and Flomax relax the muscles in the prostate, providing relief of the pressure on the urine channel. Side effects include dizziness, tiredness, lowered blood pressure and retrograde ejaculation, a condition in which the seminal fluid goes back into the bladder instead of coming out. Another class of medications called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors shrink the prostate gland through blockage of dihydrone testosterone, the hormone that stimulates the prostate gland to grow. According to Grafstein, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors can reduce the PSA by 50 percent and can mask prostate cancer, so the PSA levels on patients taking these medications need to be adjusted. Side effects include a potential for impotence and the medications tend to be expensive.\n\nAnother non-invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia involves the delivery of heat therapy in one of a number of ways. Trans-urethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) is an outpatient procedure which destroys prostate tissue by inserting a catheter with an implanted microwave wire into the prostate and delivering a certain amount of energy to the gland tissue. The tissue will then slough away, opening the channel. Risks include post surgical bleeding, urinary frequency, urgency, burning and irritation for up to three months following treatment, as well as failure of the procedure, according to Grafstein. Transurethral needle ablation (TUNA) involves insertion of a needle through the penis into the prostate’s urine tube and heating the prostate tissues through the needle. Indigo-Laser ablation therapy involves insertion of a needle shaped probe into the prostate and firing a blast of heat energy, which destroys the prostate tissue. "All these treatments work the same way. They all heat the prostate gland to a point where tissue is destroyed," Grafstein says.\n\nSurgery, though more invasive, is very effective in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) accounts for 95 percent of all prostate surgery and involves shaving out prostate tissue to create a widening of the channel. The need for hospitalization, weeks of recovery, the potential for retrograde ejaculation, incontinence, impotence and bleeding are a deterrent for some.\n\nObstructive voiding symptoms, burning with urination and urinary frequency can all be symptoms of a number of prostate problems. Prostatitis, an infection of the prostate, presents with flu-like symptoms including fever, chills, and urinary frequency coupled with low urinary volume. For acute infections, treatment with antibiotics for four to 12 weeks may be indicated. "Antibiotics are needed for a longer time because it’s hard for the antibiotic to penetrate the deep tissue of the prostate gland. If the treatment isn’t long enough, the symptoms will go away for a week or two and then come back," Grafstein adds.\n\nChronic prostate symptoms are indicative of an inflammatory reaction rather than infection, and antibiotics won’t help. Other medications may be able to relax or shrink the prostate gland, and prostatic massage and hot baths can also help by relaxing the pelvic muscles, according to Grafstein.

Did Bret Hart ever return to the wwe/wwf after the infamous "Montreal Screwjob" after Survivor Series 1997?

After the screwjob,Bret's relationship with Vince McMahon improved throughout the early-2000s, with Hart being featured in WWE video games such as WWE Day of Reckoning, WWE Day of Reckoning 2, WWE WrestleMania 21, WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW and WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006. In addition, Hart stated on his website that he would have liked to wrestle WWE performer Kurt Angle, and admitted to having watched Chris Benoit's World Heavyweight Championship title win at WrestleMania XX.\n\nIn mid-2005, WWE announced the release of a three disk DVD originally named Screwed: The Bret Hart Story, with the title a reference to the Montreal Screwjob. After he was approached about appearing in the DVD, Hart visited WWE Headquarters on August 3, 2005 and met with Vince McMahon. In the course of the meeting, Hart agreed to take part in the DVD, but insisted that he retain some editing control, and that the ignominious ending to his WWF career be de-emphasised. He filmed over seven hours of interview footage for the DVD, which was renamed Bret Hart: The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be. The DVD includes Hart's favourite match with his brother Owen, held in White Plains, New York and aired on the first episode of the short lived Action Zone series, and his first match with Ricky Steamboat as well as footage of his first match and many more from his days in Stampede Wrestling. Hart's match at WrestleMania XII against Shawn Michaels was supposed to have been included, but was cut out due to time constraints (it appeared only as clips during the documentary itself). The collection was released on November 15, 2005.\n\nHart appeared on the November 16, 2005, WWE Byte This! webcast, marking his first live WWE appearance since November 9, 1997. The Bret Hart episode of Byte This! had the largest viewer turnout in the history of the show. WWE has alluded on several occasions to the return of Hart to WWE television proper, on one occasion even playing his music, but Hart maintains that he has no interest in returning to the company in an on-screen capacity. However, when asked about the possibility of a farewell speech during the Byte This! interview, he stated, "I don't know. It's a thought anyway."\n\nAt an autograph session held in New York City in November 2005, Hart signed autographs alongside WWE employees Jerry Lawler, Carlito and Kurt Angle, his aforementioned "dream opponent". Hart told fans who attended the event that he had forgiven referee Earl Hebner (who was fired from WWE in July 2005 for allegedly selling merchandise without authorization) for his part in the Montreal Screwjob. In addition, he responded to Shawn Michaels's statement that Bret Hart would never compete again in a WWE ring, saying simply, "He's right."\n\nDuring his career, Hart stated that "every wrestler reaches a point when their memories become more important than their dreams"—an aphorism that has been reflected in his life away from wrestling.\n\n\nWWE Hall of Fame\nOn the February 16, 2006, episode of RAW, it was announced that Hart would be a 2006 inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame. Hart had previously stated he had no interest in this, but, as with his DVD project, his views changed. Hart had also been approached by Vince McMahon for a potential match between the two at WrestleMania 22, but "politely declined" the offer [2]. Ironically, Hart's last WrestleMania appearance was also in Chicago (WrestleMania 13). In accordance with his promise never to work for WWE again, Hart refused to be paid for the event, though WWE did cover travel arrangements for Bret and his ex-wife Julie (who no-showed) and their four children.\n\nOn April 1, 2006, Bret was inducted by his old arch rival, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Despite much speculation (Hart had even told the Calgary Sun that he would no-show the event if he saw Shawn Michaels), Hart's induction into the Ha

Internet advertising versus traditional?

Depends on your business.\n\nInternet advertising can target a much more direct group than traditional advertising.\n\nFor example: You have a new product you want to advertise to middle-aged women, with kids, and 2 family cars. \n\nTraditional Ads give you more people than you care about, they will unintentionally get men, kids, people with 1 or 3 cars, and not really any help targetting JUST your market.\n\nInternet advertising can tell you when and where those women are, what they are shopping for, and if the audience you specify will be likely to buy, based on what they do elsewhere online.


Does smoking cigarettes increase cholesterol levels.?

The effect of the cigarrete smoke on artery narrowing is independent of cholesterol.  Smoking causes dysfunction of the lining of the arteries, which over time causes blockages.  Quit smoking for the sake of quitting...don't look at the cholesterol numbers in that respect. If you have high cholesterol and are smking, your chance of stroke and heart attack are considerably increased.

How is AIUSA involved in COngress? or how does it influence Congress to make policy changes?

they don't really have any direct influence.  AIUSA is non-political(despite how it may look) they only exist to document and publish human rights abuses (using the UN's declaration of human rights as their standard)  they then publish the results which get picked up by other groups and used for or against others.  a good example is how israel quotes their reports all the time using reports about palestinian abuses, and palestinians use the israel reports all the time, both ignore their own abuses.\ndespite what alot of people think as well, amnesty is world wide and reports as best they can on all countries, AIUSA is just the sub-group that works on human rights issues in the US.\nThey do make petitions available for various issues, or provide information and materials for letter writing campaigns as well.

does anyone know the legend of the opal?

Here's what I found: \n\nAborigines believe they have lived in Australia since the beginning of all creation. This culture has produced many myths and legends about opals over this span of time and the Aborigines believe the opal has a spiritual value. They believe the opal represents something an ancestor left behind as a sign of his or her presence. The Wangkumara people have a legend which tells how their people gained fire from opal stones, with the assistance of a Muda - a Creator who switches from human form to pelican. \n\nThis story is preserved in a book of Aboriginal legends, titled 'The Opal that Turned into Fire', compiled by Janet Mathews and published by Magabala Books. This legend recounts how the Wangkumara people decided to send a pelican (Muda) to explore the Northern Territory, so he could return and tell them what was there. The pelican set off with all the fish and water he would need for the journey stored in the pouch beneath his beak. After flying a while the pelican felt ill and landed on top of a hill that the Wangkumara later named Bildimini. While resting the pelican observed the ground beneath him and was amazed by its magnificent array of colors.\n\nAlthough he did not know it, what he saw was opal. The pelican was so curious he began to peck at the colored stones with his beak. Suddenly, a spark flew out and lit the dry grass nearby. The flames rose and spread slowly across the plains approaching a group of Wangkumara who were camping near Cooper's Creek. The people were able to use the fire to cook their meat and fish for the first time, and were grateful for this new gift. \n\nAnother legend tells how an earlier Muda, also in pelican form, created Cooper's Creek for the Wangkumara and filled it with fish. Wounded by a spear, this Muda died on the hill that would be called Bildimini. His blood and the water in his pouch flowed down the hillside, soaking into the earth and hardening into opal and gold.\n\n(From: http://www.bernardine.com/birthstone/opal.htm)\n\nThe ancient Greeks believed the opal gave the wearer protection from disease and was a sought after gem for its gift of prophecy and foresight. Greek astrologers, mediums and soothsayers also used the stone for divination. As well as its mystical significance and psychic vision properties, opal was also thought to aid in digestion, stomach disorder, and to cure all disease associated with the eyes. It was believed that when a person was to suffer a minor illness, the stone became dull and grey it would turn a sickly yellow when an injury or accident was about to occur. \n\nSuperstitions associated with opal continued throughout the Middle Ages, when opal was widely believed to be beneficial to eyesight, while others thought wearing opal would render the wearer invisible to the eye. It was for this reason thieves held opal in such high regard, using it as their symbol, due to this superstition. Blond haired women wore necklaces of opal to protect their hair from loosing its colour, while opal amulets were worn to attract happiness, love, good fortune and favour.\n\n(From: http://searchwarp.com/swa8911.htm)\n\nMark Antony loved opal. Indeed, it is said that he so coveted an opal owned by Roman Senator Nonius that Mark Antony banished the Senator after he refused to sell the almond sized stone, reputed to be worth 2,000,000 sesterces. (US $80,000) Mark Antony is said to have coveted the opal for his lover, Cleopatra. Legend states that one Roman Emperor offered to trade one-third of his vast kingdom for a single Opal. \n\nThat and a lot more really cool facts and lore can be found here: http://www.opalsdownunder.com.au/articles/history.htm\n\nI hope this is helpful :)


I REALLY NEED HELP!!!! This is really improtant!?

I agree with all the people who say call the police.  The truth is, though the threat may not actually be carried out., you need to treat it as a very serious threat to her life and safety.  The most important thing you can do is GET HER TO A SAFEHOUSE OR SOMEPLACE SECURE.  If she needs protection from this guy, start off by getting her out of this situation.   Also, be her friend and help her feel safe and confident.  If the guy asks you where she is or anything, tell him NOTHING and WALK AWAY.  If he tries to hurt you or violate you, run and bring attention to yourself and get to a public place right away.  If this happens at your house, call the police right away and report him as a trespasser.


do you think Iran's intentions for going nuclear are peaceful?

No. Iran's radical theocrats want a nuclear weapon. (It gnaws at them that Israel has nuclear weapons. It is Israel's nuclear weapons that have deterred attacks from her neighbors.) They have no legitimate need for nuclear energy. They have more than enough oil to cover their energy needs. They use the excuse of a "right" to nuclear technology to drum up support among Iranians for the government (which is otherwise disliked/hated by the majority of Iranians). \n\nIran is stalling for more time to strengthen their bargaining position. (They've done fairly well for themselves thus far. The talks have been ongoing for three years now.) So far they haven't overly miscalculated, but that doesn't mean the world's patience isn't wearing thin. What happens next is up to Iran. Russia and China won't be able to perpetually block meaningful efforts within the UN to address the problem.\n\nI don't think the US will attack Iran's nuclear facilities, but I wouldn't be surprised if Israel did so. Contrary to what many think, Israel will do what they feel is in their best interests whether or not the US condones it. What will the fallout be? Not much. There will be condemnations from Arab and Muslim governments, but the Iranians have two things against them. They aren't Arabs, and they aren't Sunnis.

what do you think about the threat of war with iran?

I think we need to send covert operations in to destroy their nukes and then send in air strikes to finish the job.  Negotiation is used only as a stalling tactic by Islamic nations. They do not accept anything but unconditional surrender or absolute defeat.\n\nWhat most westerner's don't understand is that lying is considered normal and acceptable in Muslim culture.  It is assumed that sellers will try to swindle buyers in the marketplace and that enemies will act like friends when it serves their purpose. It is assumed that family will compliment each other profusely when they are together and then insult each other in the privacy of their home with their spouses.

Can I bring cuban cigars from overseas into the us. I am a US citizen? Can n-US Citizens bring in Cuban cigars

No one in the USA, citizen, or not is allowed to bring Cuban cigars onto USA soil. The penalty is 50,000. per cigar, if you get caught in the USA, with them, due to the embargo against Cuba. I discovered this during a cruise, by a US Customs official. We could smoke them while on the ship, and encouraged to attend the cocktails, and Cohibas party the night before arriving to dock. It was a cruise to remember. Several people were detained, their bags open, and dogs working the contents, once we docked. I suspect that if only cigars were found, they would be confiscated. I took no chances.

When a person dies-the remains are gussied up and a WAKE is held- where does the term come from?

It was formerly used of all kinds of religious vigils, but is now generally confined to funerals.


What reason did many americans give for protesting united states involvement in the vietnam war?

It wasn't all that different from Iraq.  The US decided that we wanted to prevent communist domination, in this case of S. Vietnam.  We said it was to help freedom and democracy, but it was really about a power struggle.  So like the freedom fighters we are, we stuck or noses in to prevent S. Vietnam from Northern invasion.  However, the North had their own supporters like Russia.  As the war lingered on and the draft was forcing young men to fight a war that wasn't directly threatening our national security, a lot of people disagreed...many innocent victims, us and them.  War heros returned to an unpopular welcoming.  The famous boxer Mohammed Ali refused to go and they took his title away from him.  The whole thing sucked.  Not too many guys really wanted to go and many moved to Canada, if their number was picked.  Hippies protested with peace signs while the smoked grass and dropped acid.  I missed a lot of this...a bit young, but I know other guys that were there.  It was no picnic.  One buddy of mine was so ready to fight.  He was #1 in boot camp, ready to storm the beach.  He got his wish, first off the boat, stepped on a mine, blew his face off, lost an eye, half a nose, half a mouth, a bunch of hair, and a little brains, while Nixon and Kissinger watched this whole thing go down the toilet.  It was a stalemate.  Rambo couldn't do it justice.  We finally bailed out.

By eating well and doing lots of exercise. Simple. Mostly a good variety of fruit, veg,  occasional fish and meat.\n\nTo lose weight, your calorie intake must be lower than your calorie expenditure. If you eat less than you consume you won't lose weight indefinitely because every pound of body weight adds to your calorie expenditure: as your weight decreases, so will the energy demand on your system. Eventually, you will find an equilibrium that fits your dietary intake.\n\nIf you are doing low indurance exercise (e.g. jogging), you will lose fat and muscle until your weight matches your intake, BUT!!! if you finish a low indurance session with some higher indurance exercise (weights around 50 reps) you will encourage your muscles to hang onto their fibres and the fat will disappear quicker. This is how you get "in shape" and get a nice cut physique.\n\nIf you are new to exercise, be aware of "the training curve"... If you are not exercising regularly, your muscles will accummulate fuel (glycogen). When you start to exercise regularly, after initial aches and pains called the IDOMS, you will find a spurt in your fitness. You'll feel pretty good! But...\n\nAs you continue to run down your fuel reserves, your body is not accustomed to putting these back as quick as you are burning them. After your initial spurt there may come a point when you feel drained and you can't face your exercise sessions because your just too pooped...\n\nThis is the time to train to improve your fitness: train your body to replenish the muscle fuel you are burning! This is a key hurdle to getting fit. It's really hard and it can take time but once you are through it you'll feel great!\n\nMental preperation is key because getting in shape requires a lifestyle change and people are generally comfortable in their lifestyle, even if they're not happy with it. Be under no illusions: lifestyle changes are difficult! \n\nMake a list of all the stuff you don't like about your lifestyle now and stick it on the door of your fridge. To remind you of why you are doing what you are doing. \n\nPrepare yourself for the times when you will feel like avoiding your sessions (due to training curve and all other kinds of excuses): write a note to [your future self] to be read when [your future self] is thinking of avoiding a session that explains to [your future self] why you would please like [your future self] to stop being a big wuss and get [your future self's] backside out of the door and onto the freaking bike!


What are widowers social security benefits?

Found this on the social security website:\n\nHow much will a widow receive?\n\nThe amount you will get is a percentage of the deceased's basic Social Security benefit. The percentage depends on your age and the type of benefit you are eligible for. A widow or widower, full retirement age or older, will receive 100 percent deceased's basic Social Security benefit.\n\nA widow or widower can receive full benefits at age 65 or older (if born before January 2, 1940) or reduced benefits as early as age 60. The age for receiving full benefits is increasing for widows and widowers born after 1939 until it reaches age 67 for people born in 1962 and later.

What Causes the Hiccups?\nHiccups are usually a reaction to your stomach and digestive system getting wonky. This happens when you eat too much, drink bubbly drinks like soda or swallow too much air. Some people get the hiccups for no reason at all. Other things that cause hiccups include skull fracture, epilepsy, tuberculosis and believe it or not, constipation (not being able to poop). \n\nCommon Cures for the Hiccups\nUnlike sneezing, farting, burping, etc., hiccups don't serve any purpose. Hiccups are just annoying and pointless. How do you get rid of hiccups? Which remedy works best? Home remedies are usually based on the idea that you have to disrupt the hiccup cycle. Remedies include holding your breath, breathing into a bag, pulling your tongue, sudden fright, or - get this - eating sugar. Just drinking water, if done soon enough, might wash down a chunk of food in the throat that's pressing against a nerve.

What would you do on a desserted road wih no reststop and you had to go # 2 BAD and you had TP with you?

Duh!  i would poop on the side of the road!  No big deal if I've got T.P.  maybe I would walk a little bit into the woods if there are woods there to save other motorists from the sight and save myself from a possible ticket


Sorry love it's already sold - how about a Parakeet? Tell you what buy two and I'll throw in a free bag of seed!\n\n\nWent to buy a cat many years ago and the pet-shop owner showed me to a basket with these cute kittens all nestled together and he said they range from £3 to £9. They all looked the same to me but everytime I pointed to one he said it was £9.  In the end I said "okay now point out the £3 ones" He said there was only the one - I still have her.

Macrogol 400 was found in formula of a solvent for reconstitution of powder of Omeprazol inj.Role of Macrogol?

omeprazole is not very water soluble (0.5 mg/ml).  Macrogol 400 is polyethylene glycol (same as PEG-400) which is included to make the omeprazole more soluble.  It may or may not completely disolve it, but it will at least make a uniform emulsion.  Since it's a formulation for injection, there will also be salts and buffers to adjust the osmotic pressure and the pH of the resulting solution.


Is there a connection between Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and Chaos Theory?

No, chaos theory simply says that with very small initial differences in input, you can eventually have huge changes over time.\n\nHeisenberg said that you can know the location or velocity of a fundamental particle like an electron, but not both.


What's the best way to teach my children thier math facts, other than flash cards?

The best and most overlooked way to improve classroom education of any kind is to introduce the use of boardgames. I have taught for over ten years all over the world, and only when I use boardgames do students voluntarily insist on extending their classes for two, three, even four hours. Not only that but they then show the most rapid improvement. \nCheck out the following websites for some useful background info.\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-1.html...\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-2.html...\n\nhttp://subscriptions.fasfind.com/wwwtool...\n\nhttp://www.gama.org/uploads/ns/xx/nsxx7l...\n\nGive it a try and you will be amazed. At least you will be helping to break the monopoly that the big textbook publishers have over the education industry.


No offense, but by your spelling errors im guessing your pretty young. I dont think you should be afraid of all these things at your age. You should possibly talk to a parent or a close older relative to get help. As for the obsessive compulsive disorder it is a mental disorder that you need to work on to control. Good Luck!


should people b allowd 2 burn american flags in public?

absolutely yes. Think of it. a person burns an inanimate piece of colored cloth, and half the population goes ballistic; basically because of their insecurities. You want to burn a piece of cloth - what the hell do I care. to react any differently is to give you control over me, and I ain't about to do that. But most of you knee-jerk americans can be controlled in this way, because you do not have the gift of independent thought.


Are you talking about rotation?  That is when the earth spins on it's own axis... You know how you spin a basketball on your finger?  That is called rotation.  It also revolves around the sun.  I think that all heavenly bodies have a rotation, and they all revolve around something else... everything in the universe is in constant motion.

What foods should people with diverticulitis eat?

People with diverticulitis should eat food that are high in fiber. Fruits and vegetables like apples, pears, peaches, carrots, broccoli, and asparagus are great. Whole grain items like brown rice and bran flakes are safe to eat as well. Those foods are good because it will make the stool easier to pass therefore lessening the chances of infection. \n  \nHave your grandfather stay away of anything that has a lot of seeds or is seed like such as popcorn, pumpkin, strawberries, poppyseeds, corn, and so on. Those types of foods can cause infection and/or inflammation.\n  \nFor a more in-deph look at the diet here is the link of some very useful information for your grandfather.\n\nhttp://diet.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Diverticulitis_Diet\n\nHope everything works out!


Can you tell me how to be a good boyfriend?

Girls like guys that are sensitive to their feelings.  It helps a lot if you just support them, but not in a fake way.  You shouldn't just agree with your girlfriend, but don't insult her or do anything stupid.

How do I fix my BIG problem with my boy friend? BOYS ONLY Answer this!?

Well, I honestly don't think you're prepared for marriage, because if there's room for suspicion or doubt, then it's not true love. If you honestly wanted to marry him, you would do the best you could to tell him you were sorry, and weren't really thinking. Then I would give yourselves more time to grow closer together until you have no doubt that you, and ONLY you, are the one he wants to be with for the rest of his life.

When Jehovas Winesses get in the bath, do Mormons knock at the door?

I'm a Jehovah's Witness and I get the Mormons every year. They're very friendly and we always have a nice conversation. They tell me a little about their beliefs and I tell them a little about mine. Once in awhile they come at a bad time and that's okay. I just tell them love to chat but...


If i am a Canadian Citizen will they let me...?

When I was in the Navy in the 1960's there was a Canadian serving with me, from Quebec or Ontario, I am very sure.  The military salaries were extremely low in the USA at that time, at least for enlisted persons.\n\nBut this man claimed he was being paid also by Canada.  He was definitely Canadian and planned to continue there after military service.\n\nI do not know about current arrangements, but I do not at all believe a Canadian would have to renounce Canadian citizenship.  Best to disregard that answer.\n\nI would also guess that U.S. military welcomes Canadians, but as to regulations and agreements between the two nations about this, one needs to consult an authoritative source.\n\nA Canadian military lawyer would probably have the most definitive answer.\n\nAlso, serving in the U.S. military gives you preferences towards U.S. citizenship.  I would guess dual citizenship service members exist already, from Canada, P.I., possibly some other places.


This better not have any shred of truth to it. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848?

I've been doing my own research for a long time now.  As far as "asking questions that can't be proven"...every question I bring up indeed COULD be proven if the evidence were not destroyed.  Almost EVERYTHING related to what would amount to a fair forensic investigation as to the causes, circumstances, and material evidence of 9/11 has been thoroughly destroyed or completely sealed to the public.\n\nThink about that.  The largest mass-murder in US history and there is NO forensic evidence to be had by the public or independant investigators.  All scrap material from the WTC was carted off and sold to India as scrap without any examination.  Wreckage from all flights met with the same fate, except what little independant photographers gathered, which is compelling for the fact that the engines recovered were the wrong model in 3 out of 4 cases.  Four thousand witness statements have been sealed (4000!) and any first-hand witness that discredits the official story have been debunked as either un-patriotic or crazy.  FAA records and the clearest security video photage have either been destroyed or sealed.\n\nCongress authorized a total of $11 million to investigate the events of 9/11, but almost no money made it to investigators.  In comparison, Bill Clinton's bj merited $40 million in funds to investigate.  Money well spent?  Let me re-phrase that...$40,000,000 on an act of marital impropriety for one man and $3666 per murder of another.\n\nTo top it all off, the few FBI investigators assigned to this ALL have blown the whistle to say that they were given no resources to investigate, were stopped cold by orders from above when investigating certain avenues, and were told to lie on their final reports or the reports were changed/edited after they were filed.\n\nPropogandists count on a person to overcome logic with emotion, and in 9/11 they have succeeded admirably.  Anyone (including 8 years myself) who has been in the military will tell you they have been lied to more than once to achieve some "motivation".  There isn't much need in government culture to cover up anything, just a "don't ask questions and don't talk to the press" attitude, most people like to keep their retirement pension.  This video is just the tip of a VERY big iceberg.


If it wasn't for the universal soldier/bomb maker would there never be another war?

Definately, the egg and spoon race is a wicked idea! And maybe we should have the royal family breed up a few more uinterbred little kids to partake in the warfare. Imagine them up against the vodka drinking russians.\nI reckon there would be <if there were no ewapons> less control over the masses - wich has to be a good thing. And there would simply be calm and not so calm areas of the world. There'd be little communes, and then gang rivaled cities. But at least all the fighting nobheads would kill themselves in one place, and the sophisticated calm people wouldn't have to pay for it.


Why are liberals so concerned about the national debt?

And your not, just another mentally deficient, me, type repuglican. Do not worry about tomorrow, never mind that the kids and grand kids will have to pay this debt, and more importantly the interest. Do you realize that the interest on a 3 trillion dollar debt is enough to fund health care for each individual in the country, oh that's right you have health care and it don't matter to you. I bet I am closer to "right" then you are.


Where can we find Buyers for Cotton Madeups and Terry towels?

Perhaps it would be easier if we knew where you were located and what your status is in the supply chain. Are you a contractor? Are you sourcing these towels from one market and wanting to sell them in another? Are they like something you may find in a gift shop?


If you truly do not believe in something then, to you, it does not exist - truth is the perception of the individual.\n\nSince there are countless religions with varying ideas of 'god' then they cannot all be 'right' in a strict sense.\n\nI personally do not believe (or feel the need to believe) in  a God - this, however, does not stop a God existing for you.\n\nPeace out.

Comparable to the price of a full crown.  The price will vary depending on which part of the U.S. you live in and also insurance will not pay anything on the price of a veneer as they are considered cosmetic.  They will range in price from $550 - $1200 each.

Who has read the novella "Animal Farm" by George Orwell?

Napoleon in a good leader in the beginning of the book as he inspires the animals to start the revolution against the cruel farmer, organises the animals into working shifts, making sure there is enough food to go round, establishes rules so that there is order and promotes equality. However, towards the end of the book he abuses his power as the leader and misuses his trust of the other animals and becomes greedy by selling the horse (can't remember the name... Bruno?) to the knackers, making eveyone work like slaves, changes all the rules and trades and jokes with the enemy (humans)


Try to relax. I find writing best comes when I focus my attention on something else for a while. Go have something to eat. Go for a walk. Exercise. Get your mind off of trying to write and then you'll probably be able to write more. If your trying to write about a specific topic, try watching a movie about that topic to be inspired about it.

Will T.O and the cowboys go to the superbowl?

I've been a Cowboy fan since 1960. The original owner, Clint Merchantson, gave all decision making to the late Tom Landry.  Jerry Jones just lucked out when he hired Jimmy Johnson and won 2 SuperBowls. No, I don't think the Cowboys will ever be on top again because Jerry Jones won't let go, and let the Head Coach take over, and when Jones has departed this earth, one of his sons will take over.  Oh Boy!!!  T.O.?...as an Eagle playing on Dallas home turf, he stomped on the Cowboy Star in the middle of the field so I can't say how accepted he will be the next season...Me, as a native born Texan from Dallas...he can go somewhere else! Are you a Canadian or US citizen?  Whatever, e-mail me @TEXEEJAZZ@aol.com   Football's been my life!


Why have I been getting recurrent yeast infections? my boyfriend uses condoms, could I be getting it orally?

I had something of a problem with that as well. I started taking a pill form of the acidophilus bacteria (the bacteria found in yogurt that helps maintain a healthy balance in 'that region'), and it seems to have helped. \n\nYou should be able to find the pills at a grocery store or a health food store in the nutritional supplements/vitamins section. \n\nIt might be a good idea to get a prescription for Diflucan to totally get rid of the infection. You might have to go about a week without sex, but it will be worth it. You could take it the week of menstruation if you don't want to talk to your boyfriend about it. \n\nAside from taking the Diflucan and maybe trying the acidophilus pills (or eating a few yogurt things a day), the lubrication sounds like it could be doing something, too. I'll bet it would help to have a good 'wash-up' after your encounters. \n\nIf all of that doesn't work, you should see a doctor again and tell them how persistent the problem is.

I saw the video of Van Halen Without You. Who is the signer and the model that appears there?

The singer is Gary Cherone, previously of Extreme. Unfortunatly I've no idea who the nice young lady is.\n\nVan Halen have had three singers, David Lee Roth ('74 to '85), then Sammy Hagar ('85 to '95), back to David Lee Roth in 1996 for 2 tracks on 1st Greatest Hits album, then to Gary Cherone for 1 album (Van Halen III), then back to Sammy Hagar for 2004 Greatest Hits album and subsiquent tour.\n\nNothing since then though - it's all gone quiet.

LeBron not a pretty sight on defense. He's focused on putting points on the board and couldn't give a hoot about stopping anyone from doing likewise.


How do i tell if he is just trying to get some?

It all depends on how he is spending his time with you.  If you think he thinks all you want to do is have some "fun" maybe he is just trying to please you.  On the other hand if you tell him that you want to go out to the park and just go for a walk and he says he just wants to stay inside and kiss you all day then maybe he is just hoping to get somewhere with you.  Really if he wants to really please you he will be responding to how you react to every one of his moves, whether it be kissing you, just holding you, or spending time with you and your friends.  \nLet him know that you want to do other things than just kiss and see how he reacts.  If he resists then you might as well get rid of him.\nI don't know the situation of your relationship, but if he comes to see you every morning just to see you then it sounds like he really appreciates your company.


Is it okay to drink fizzy drinks while pregnant?

It is not the Fizz that is bad, for instance Kefir Soda and real Ginger Ale have fizz. But they are healthy for us in moderation.  \n\nMany of your commercial carbonated beverages are acidic in nature and they require that your body give up its calcium stores to neutralize them.  That means less calcium for your and your baby.  Calcium is not just for strong bones but your cells need it for proper functioning and the growth of your baby.\n\nYou can find real ginger ale and Kefir soda (cream soda) at the health food stores.  But if you are not sure, it is best to avoid the fizzy beverages.\n\nHope this helps


Should the 'i' in internet be capitalized?

There's not really one right answer to this. Some style guides insist on capitalizing Internet (and Web, when it's used as a noun), but others prefer to keep them lowercased. Most dictionaries still seem to prefer the capitalized version, but that may not last for long.

Why would a family wait til the day before a funeral to post the obituary of the deceased?

Lack of funds?  Overwhelmed with grief?  Other arrangements (such as getting other family members into town) took higher priority? Thought someone else had taken care of it?......\n\nmy implication is, unless you ask them yourself, the possibilities are endless.


Talk to your church or business in the community.  Draw up a flyer to give them, giving the details of the trip and why it's important to go.  Offer to have your daughter come back and make a presentation afterwards about what she learned (especially good for a church that has kids' classes).  Check with your local politicians - city, county and state and make a pitch.  Have your daughter get ACTIVELY involved in finding her own sponsor.  It will come across better (i.e. she has an interest in getting there herself) and will teach her some responsibility.


do u think there is an organized group trying to insult Islam on that site??if yes why?

Obviously there is an organized 24 hour working group. You will always find 1 at least to keep posting a Question. Most of the people know what actually their purpose is. Even if Yahoo Block them for Inciting Violence and Hatred, they come up with a different name. \n\nAll Muslims & Non-Muslims should understand their purpose. And don't make these PROPAGANDANISTS successful by being angy to a religion or it's followers. Neither Islam Nor Christianity allows hatred but is really strict about Peace. These Porpagandanists are infact Terrorists because anyone who even tries to destroy Peace or Peaceful Environment is a Terrorists.


Why do some girls want to loose their virginity? Is it b'coz of peer pressure?/ a Fashion? /out of emotion?

There are a lot of factors that can cause a girl to lose her virginity.  Virgins that decide to lose it at a younger age lose it mostly because of peer pressure and they want to fit in with their friends who may be doing the same thing.  But girls that are older want to lose it because they have the urge to have sex.  For most girls our hormones take over and we need someone "special" to help us out with that.

Is it possible to avoid getting the flu if your husband has it?

Influenza, from the CDC (link, below):\nAvoid close contact.\nAvoid close contact with people who are sick.

What's your preference ?? Intel or AMD ??? why ???

AMD has the best processors these days. Go with an AMD FX or X2 processor. Many people prefer Intel because they are familiar with it and so they have brand loyalty, but the latest Intel models are really getting crushed by AMD for gaming. AMD may show a slower clock speed than the Intel chips, but they still end up faster for a number or reasons. First of all, the dual cores (in the X2's and even numbered FX's) talk directly to each other, but on the dual core Intels, the data has to leave the processor to go to the other core, I believe through the North Bridge, which slows it down comsiderably, and kind of defeats the purpose. Also, the new Athlon chips have a dedicated memory bus, which means that they communicate with the computer's RAM on one line and the rest of the computer on another, rather than having all communication jammed into a single bus, like with Intel. On a side note, as it doesn't deal with gaming but should still be noted, Athlon has adopted Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) which is a processor-level virus blocker. Intel has plans to use this in the future, but Athlon has it now.\nAlso, if you plan to build a good gaming rig, you should know that athlon and Nvidia fit together like a glove. Athlons also tend to run cooler than Intels as well as being more stable.\nIf you have plenty of cash, and are building a system, I'd recommend an ASUS A8N32-Deluxe Motherboard, and Athlon AMD FX-60 Processor, dual Nvidia GeForce 7900 GTX's from BFG, and 4GB or Corsair memory. Then add a pair of 300GB SATA hard drives in RAID setup, a Thermaltake 735 water-cooling system with flow monitor and temp. indicator, a HardCano 13 fan controller and card reader, 2 lightscribe DVD+-R drives, a soundblaster X-Fi Fatal1ty, and (once it's available) an AGEIA PhysX physics processor card. Put all of this into a Thermaltake Armor or Kandalf with the optional side panel fan, and then add in the thermaltake cupholder and car cigarette-lighter-style plug just for the heck of it. (and if you're really loaded, buy me a matching set, as well) The slightly more budget model (although still not cheap) would be the same motherboard, an Athlon AMD 4200+ or 4400+, dual 7800 or 7900 GT's and 2GB or RAM, along with whatever accessories you could afford. \n\nTrust me, AMD is the way to go. I just did a lot of research to upgrade my system, and everything I found showed AMD kicking Intel's @$$.


When running a DCF, what's an appropriate discount rate for a company like FVE (traded on AMEX)?

It depends on the time horizon of the calculation, so that will give you the risk free rate.  Use the risk premium that your professor/company agrees with.  I don't remember what I use.  I think it's around 8.6%.  Then, you look up the beta, which happens to be 2.73 for this company.

Legalize Drugs versus the street war on drugs.?

Hey cam, you moron, is having drugs be illegal keeping people from getting them?? Obviously not since you can tell that story.\n\nLegalize everything.  You should be able to buy anything in the same way you can buy hard liquor, whatever the rules are in your state.\n\nDrug prohibition does not work, just like alcohol prohibition did not.  Anyone stupid enough to use drugs should be allowed to, it's called thinning the herd.

how many planets are tere and what are tere names?

The last time I checked there were still 9 planets and they were considering maybe adding a 10th. Pluto is a planet with a moon of it's own named Charon.

our mother will be going to nursing home soon ,can she gift any money to her children or for anything else .?

The new Medicare laws make it extremely difficult to gift money away and not have it count against you for purposes of computing state aid.  That $10,000 answer above is just plain wrong.  She might not have to pay taxes on a $12,000 (not 10) gift, but that has NOTHING to do with how the gift will be seen by the Medicare people.  However, there are ways to spend down your money to qualify for aid.\n\nYou need expert advice from an elder law attorney.  Go to the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and search for a NAELA-certified elder law attorney in your area here:  http://www.naela.com/Applications/ConsumerDirectory/index.cfm\n\nAnd don't listen to any other advice on this site.

Worship, is to love God with your whole heart mind and body. To worship in spirit and in truth. It is seeing the evidence of God and Jesus in every aspect of life, giving Him glory and honor and thanking Him in times that are good, as well as,times that are bad, it is acknowleging the need for Him in everything.


Is there a way I can find a list of corporate sponsors for NFL teams like the Vikings, Cowboys, redskins, etc?

why don't you email the teams and ask their front offices. Maybe the league office has a list of individual team sponsors.


i'd like to quit smoking...i know different things work for different people?

Just wash your walls once after about a year that will help you with the idea to quit I also liked the answer by varakei, makes some sense. I sure wish you luck, I haven't had much luck at it, but who knows with time you just never know what can be done. One habit broken, then another. You know how it works. One step at a time I guess. Good Luck to you....Just dont do it  right before the end of April baddddd timing

Tough Tully's, Ken's Kats, Maddogs,Tully's Tigers


Most people that are online conversing have someone they have exclusivly at home. They are just looking for what they what and then when they get bored they mive on. The trick is when that happens, ignore them too. Don't try to change it. If they don't wanna talk or ignore you sometimes than ignore them to, you have better things to do.


Masters Of Plagiarism --- Very pissed at this news please read...?

They are doing it with General Motors cars as well. Televisions from RCA (Thompson Electronics), and I am sure thousands of other things America has given them with our outsourcing. Our trade with Communist China is upside down too with the Republican Administration of George Bush. 3% from us to them, and over 20% from them to America. They have broken Americas trade agreement for years now, and Bush wont do anything about it. They are Communists and an enemy to the United States. They are using the extra revenue to extend their military also. It's a bad deal all around. America is going to try to remove the republicans from our Congress in November hopefully.

93 Million miles equals how many lightyears?

1 lightyear is the distance a beam of light can travel in a vacuum in one year.  Given that the speed of light is roughly 3*(10^8) meters per second, or about 670.6 million miles per hour, then 93 million miles is about 1.58*(10^-5) lightyears.  Another way to look at it, is that it takes about 7.21 minutes for light from the sun to reach earth, and they are roughly 93 million miles apart.

can chlorine or nitrogen be found in their elemental form?

The elements Chlorine and Nitrogen are found in their natural, elemental forms of Chlorine gas (Cl2) and Nitrogen gas (N2) in nature, not as atomic Chlorine or atomic Nitrogen.\n \nNitrogen gas makes up the majority of Earth's atmosphere (AKA "air").\n\nChlorine gas is faily easy to produce with electrochemical reactions, or even through standard (non electrolytic) reactions.\n\n\nClorox does NOT contain Chlorine gas.  Amongst other things, the active ingredient in clorox bleach is Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl), not "Chlorine".

what is herpes,what causes it,and how do you know if you nhave it?

http://www.herpes.org/\n\nIt is known that partners infected with genital herpes can transmit the infection to an uninfected partner BOTH when symptoms are present (such as redness and blisters) as well as when no symptoms are present (called "asymptomatic shedding"; see the paper on Asymptomatic Shedding at www.herpes.org ). Researchers have shown that viral shedding of herpes virus occurs very often from the genitals of the infected partner even when the infected partner has no symptoms: In some cases over 80% of the time. This means that an infected partner can transmit herpes to the uninfected partner even when no symptoms are present.

Texas was originally part of Mexico.  In the early 1820's, Mexico began to invite Americans to settle in Texas with the promise of cheap land.  However, the Mexican government, under the Mexican dictator Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, began to violate the rights of these new Texans, who in 1835, started their own war for independence from Mexico.  By April 1836, the Texans won their indepedence and, until 1846, were a fully autonomous republic.  In 1846, Texas applied for statehood in the United States, which was strongly supported by Southern Democrats.  Many in the North believed that the admission of Texas would only further the cause of the spread of slavery, which it did.  The admission of Texas also led to the Mexican-American War through a dispute over the border, which allowed the United States to conquer Mexico and take nearly half of its territory, in the form of the modern American Southwest (i.e. New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and California).  Peace out.


Just ask her to go do something that you both enjoy. if you talk to her everyday you have to have a similar interest and if you don't just fake one of her's. the best idea is to ask her to go with you to something that you know she will enjoy. that way you have something that you both can talk about and enjoy together.


Any endodontist? pain in tooth without explanation... HELP!?

Fractures are not always evident to dentists and cannot be seen on xrays.  It is rare but incisors can actually have a very small second canal. Also does the root canal follow the curve and go all the way to the apex (end of the root) of the tooth?  Endodontists have microscopes and other tools general dentistis do not have, I would go see one. It never hurts to get a second opinion and I am firm believer in sending my patients to a specialist if I dont know how to fix them.


Is providing medical coverage for minor children considered child support?

You need to check with your state.  In my state it is considered a part of the support.  In the child support calculator for my state, it asks if either parent pays a premium for insurance for the children, or pays "extraordinary medical costs."  The calculator then includes that in the calculation of support paid.\n\nBasically, if the parent paying support provides insurance, they get credit for no nore than HALF of what they pay for the insurance taken out of what they would pay you.  So if the non-custodial parent pays $50/month for the portion of the policy that includes the children (not the whole premium, just the added cost of the children's coverage) then that parent will get no more than $25 towards their support for the month.\n\nSome of the other comments on here are also a little off from my experience and for my state (like the comment about support being reduced during summer visitation) so check your local laws.  you can google for your state and "child support guidelines" and you can read the rules about child support for your state.

Have they managed to "cure" a low sperm count?

No, nobody knows what causes this, and it doesnt seem to be amenable to treatment.  They can take semen and concentrate the sperm that is there, for artificial insemination, though.  Also, a low sperm count from drugs will sometimes reverse with time.


why do people turn down the radio when looking for an address while driving??

Well, if you're driving, looking where you're going, making sure to drive at the correct speed, looking for an address, worrying about missing that address, AND listening to the radio, you're doing a LOT of things at the same time. Even the best multi-taskers have their limit and need to cut out one of those activities in order to perform the others successfully.


Why is our country so deep in debt' wouldn't it be better if we had a small debt so taxes could be cut.

Cockroaches are not clean, They eat rancid food and anything else they can find. They happen to be one of oldest creatures on earth. They adapt extremely well and live all over the world. Certainly millions of people have had roaches in food they have consumed and have even slept while roaches have crawled on them, Roaches spread germs and probably make people sick. But they can not kill you. unless they have come in contact with something we don't know about yet. There's even a few places people eat them (the really big ones !


Am I at a healthy weight I am 14 yrs old and I do ballet and my weight is 130 but I workout all the time?

Why do you list all of these numbers?  Are we to assume you want to lose weight?  Because you do not need to lose any weight at all.  \n\nBe very careful with this line of thought, my dear friend almost died of anorexia and it gave her enough damage that she had to give up ballet. If you eat healthy foods, including raw foods, small portions five times a day and exercise and your weight does not change than that is a sign that you are at YOUR healthy body weight. Skinny IS NOT healthy, being your healthy body weight is MUCH more attractive for men and woman and much better for your entire body (hair, nails, bones, heart, skin, etc.)in the long run. You can't dance without energy and if you go extreme your dancing will suffer.\n\nYes, you need to be thin for ballet, but doing it in an unhealthy way will almost guarantee you will fail at professional ballet.  Everyone I knew who went down this path ended up quiting or being let go at the company.\nEVERY SINGLE ONE, no joke.

what do u do if boys talk to u and your friends but u are to shy to talk back but hey are asking nasty stuff.?

If they are talking that bad I wouldn't want to talk to them. Just walk away, because if you stay and listen they will think you like to hear that junk. Just excuss yourself and go do something else.  If they say any thing just say you don't care for the way they are talking, there is no need for it.  If you stay and listen to it they don't have any respect for you or your friends. Even if your friends stay I would leave.

my  daughter wants to know how old she has to be to get a bank account.?

Consider opening two accounts.  A college savings plan or 529 - http://www.529s.com  This is a good account for the parents to put money into for their child's college savings.  When you feel that your kid is old enough to go to the bank with you to open a personal savings account then do that too.  But I would highly recommend that you take them into the bank and let them learn how the process works.  Then when you get home show them how to record transactions in the balance book.  For the first year or so go over it with them on a monthly basis.  Basic money management skills are vital to their financial future.

Why does US have to interfere in everything that i happening all around world?

Because no one else would.  Everyone knew how bad Hitler was, and they were powerless to stop him.  Since the discovery of nuclear bombs, the US has actively been trying to prevent WWIII, by stopping every country that could use them, or in the case of Viet Nam, stop a twisted ideology from taking hold.\nSometimes we're wrong.  But no one ever said we were perfect, least of all us regular Joes and Janes.

What are the use of nucleic acid probes in molecular biology?

Nucleic Acid probes are used to identify regions of DNA. Say for example you want to look for a mutations with AAACCG, you would use a probe with TTTGGC( this is oversimplified, usually its about 15-20 bases), if the probe stuck on, it tells you that site is present. If the sequence was AAACAG, then it wouldn't stick on. Indicating the site was not there. So in a short one word, its used to identify Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP), alleles, or any differnce in DNA code, or even the presence of it.

When a star runs out of fuel, it explodes its outer layer off in a Nova, while the core collapses inwards. Because the continual fusion reaction has stopped, there's nothing to stop the collapse until all of the residual matter presses against each other. This is called a Brown Dwarf.\nIf the star is much larger than our Sun, gravity is so strong that even the matter collapses until the atoms' neucleii press against each other. This is called a Neutron Star.\nIf the star is still larger, not even the neutrons stop the collapse, and gravity causes the whole lot to collapse to a pinpoint. The gravity is still there, sucking in everything around it, even light. This is called a Black Hole.

It looks to me that your wife is playing with you.The way she acts towards you doesn't show that she loves you..ore respects you for that matter!I'd talk to her,tell her what you think and feel..that you need to her to change her ways,because this isn't working out for you.If she refuses,ask yourself if this is how you want to go on....clearly this is making you very unhappy,you shouldn't accept this!


when you pop your bones do it make your bones bigger?

You don't pop your bones, you pop the joints. What makes the popping sounds is the rush of fluid. So no, it doesn't make your bones bigger. It may make your joints swollen if you irritate them though.


how might data be affected whilst moving a computer when switched on?

Data stored on a hard drive could be corrupted or erased accidentally.  A traditional hard drive (as opposed to a ROM drive or key chain drive) has a set of spinning platens inside with heads very, very close to the surface.  Moving a computer that is powered on can create a "head crash" that can result in marring the magnetic surface of the platen(s).  This can result in loss of data, data corruption or even lose of the entire hard drive and some to all of the data.  Data could only be retrieved in this case by changing out the hardware inside the drive and reading what data wasn't scraped off physically.

Who loves Green Day & the lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong?

I've been a huge fan of Green Day for years, and I'm also a fan of Billie Joe's side projects as well (Pinhead Gunpowder for example). Boulevard of Broken Dreams is a good song, but I think their best song has been 2,000 Light Years Away from the Kerplunk album.


How much does a girl's choice of music CDs indicate her overall personality and character?

Ah, I listen to everything from Disney music to Black Eyed Peas. I don't think it says anything about her character, honestly. Just because I like to listen to Little Mermaid music doesn't mean I act like I'm five and just because I listen to the Black Eyed Peas doesn't mean I dress like a gangsta.

Do I need to take flouride supplements since I drink only filtered water?

You probably don't need supplements.  Just make sure you're using a fluoride toothpaste, which you probably are since most toothpastes contain it these days.  If you're worried about it and since you do have a history of cavities, you might want to try a fluoride rinse like ACT.  You only have to rinse with it once a day for one minute.  The best time to use it is at night, so that it can continue to work while you sleep.  If you visit your dentist regularly, you may want to ask your dentist or hygienist what they think since they know the condition of your teeth.  Toothpastes with a higher concentration of fluoride than what you get at the stores are available by prescription, so that's also an option.

GUYS what's your take?Females jump in by all means!(Sneaking peeks while on a date)?

Good for you for not peeking. And no, I don't do it. I have looked at guy while with my bf, but not in that way. My eyes just happen to wander where someone happens to be and that person is sometimes a guy, and sometimes that guy looks at me when I glance and gets a weird look on his face and makes me uncomfortable, and at that point you don't want to look away, because you're kind of afraid you might hurt his feelings, (I don't know why this is) and so you might smile to be friendly, whether or not he's good looking, so that's one thing. Or am I just weird? I really don't like making people feel bad, I always have to acknowledge them. I'm guessing girls who really do do it on purpose, have many different reasons. To make their bf jealous, to see if you're looking, to check you out, etc.  Also if you're looking at the girl to begin with, she may just look back because she can feel your gaze and it creeps her out. I've done that too, when I've felt someone looking at me. It freaks me out when people stare at me. God I'm neurotic.

C or C++ which is best for database developement?

Honestly, and technically, neither C nor C++ would work for database programming alone. C and C++ are the languages themselves. You'd have to use an API, like Win32 or MFC or .NET, in order to connect to a database. But I think the ATL library includes database connectivity.

what was the contreversy that Mulan brought up, as in Chinese culture?

In Chinese culture, during that time period, a woman could be killed for walking alone on a city street. They were not allowed to leave the house without thier husband, and then they had to walk behind him. They were not to speak, not to look a man in the eye, and absolutely never to fight. And stealing her father's sword? Mulan would have been killed immediately, even by the character, Sheng, who she saved in the film. If she had made it home, her father would have probs killed her out of shame alone.

THIS IS A FACT, Most things are voted out if a Repub does not want it. So who is to blame the repubs this is why every thing is so wrong in our country. It is time for change and I don't know who can change this but anyone would be better then who we have now. The country is a mess and who is to blme the repubs no one else!!!


What determines the distribution of the various allophones in english language?

Most allophonic variation is complementary - i.e. the allophones are distributed such that they do not overlap. For example, the unaspirated allophone of /p/ in English occurs after voiceless sibilants but not in other positions.\n\nAllophonic variation is determined therefore by the place or manner of articulation of the realisation of the phoneme in question or of neighbouring phonemes.  In Standard British English, the 'dark' allophone of /l/ occurs only in syllable-final position and is in complementary distributiuon with the 'light' /l/ allophone which occurs in syllable-initial or -medial position.

assigning actions to radio buttons when designing?

There are a few ways to do this; they require some coding experience.\n\nI think you might be able to do it with javascript by simply  taking your form input, reconstructing the appropriate URL by appending the search term to the appropriate link, then changing the window's location to be the proper URL.\n\n2. If you want to work with the standard search boxes that Yahoo!, Google and Amazon supply, you need to programmatically change both the form action and the name of the input variable(s) on the forms each supplies.\n\n3. You might find it easier to do by implementing the APIs each provides. I'm not sure of that, because I haven't used the APIs directly, but I do know that Google and Yahoo, at least, allow you to implement search on your site using their APIs.
