can a  man give a woman something to big?

Tell me about it!  Right after high school graduation, for Christmas, my boyfriend of about 6 months gave me a long fur coat!  He wasn't rich, and had a job making average wages, and was planning on college the following year.  I was amazed when I opened the large package, expecting a sweater or possbily a long housecoat, but fur coat, not!  I pleaded with him to return it, and after talking for a week to no avail, I took it back to the store myself.  I got the cash register receipt from his mom who lent him some of the money to pay for it.  And, I purchased a winter sweater, which I wore the following weekend, and of course he asked "oh, new huh"?  And I said "yes, you bought it for me", and I explained the transaction and talking to his mother.  I also returned the balance of money between the sweater and the coat to him.  We split a few months later, but not as of this result of this gift.  Two yrs later I saw him, and he thanked me for being so mature at 18 yrs of age, and he used some of the hard earned money for his college.  So, yes - many gifts can be "to much", especially if marriage isn't involved.

Please explaoin "credit" and "debit" an account.?

Your confusion is understandable for someone who is not an accountant.  Those terms 'debit' and 'credit' (from your first 2 examples, at least) are relative to the BANK'S POINT OF VIEW not yours.  I'll explain.  The bank has a balance sheets with assets on the left and liabilities (things that it owes) on the right.  Assets must always equal Liabilities + Owner Equity (equity won't be explained here).  On the asset side, when a bank gains an asset, it receives a credit and when it loses an asset it receives a debit.  The reverse is true for liabilities.  When a bank gains a liability, it receives a debit, but it is credited when loses a liability.  When you take money out of your checking account, the bank loses assets and therefore records a DEBIT (remember, a loss of assets is a 'debit' on the asset side).  When you add money to your checking account, the bank gains assets, which is a CREDIT on the asset side. When you use a credit card, the store DEBITS your account because you have gained a liability, a promise to pay (remember, a liability goes UP when it is debited).  When you get a refund, your account is CREDITED because you have lost a liability (you are no longer obligated to pay that debt).  remember, a CREDIT on the liability side means that liabilities go DOWN!  So 'debit' and 'credit' don't mean 'down and up', it just refers to what action(s) is being taken and on what side of the balance sheet the action is taking place.

Whose the best team in the NHL this season?

If you look at the standings, the best teams right now are Detroit, Carolina, Dallas, Ottowa and the NY rangers. Having watched alot of NHL games, I tend to lean toward the Red Wings as being the best to this point. They are playing as good as they have in recent years and have made an effort to enfuse their younger players early in the year which will make them stronger during a Cup run.


explaination of lungs, liver and skin excretion?

The liver puts some compounds into the bile, which is dumped into the gut and excreted in the stool.\n\nThe lungs exhale things that can go into gas phase from the blood stream into the alveoli--like the sulfenic acid derivatives that make garlic and onions cause your breath to smell wretched.\n\nSkin does its excretion by putting material into your sweat.\n\nNote that the liver, the kidneys, the skin and even body fat also metabolically modify things (chemically alter them), which not only deactivates them (or in some cases, activates them) but also makes them more easily excreted by the liver or the kidney, which are the primary systems that get rid of such things.\n\nThat help?


I need a part time job in NW Indiana.  Evenings & weekends only.  Any leads?

Instead of trying to find a job to work during the week, what about just working weekends.  Retail and Restaurants/Bars would be a good place to make some money.  If you need quick money I'd look into a job as a food server at a decent restaurant or cocktail waitress at a bar.  Cash every time you work.  And the hours are usually pretty flexible.

Anybody an astrophysicist? What do they do?

Check out college websites. Astros is the solar system. Hence astronate. (cosmos is the universe Russians are cosmonaunts).\nOne research is into the cosmic ray bursts. Where they come from and what is the mechanism they are created. If Earth ever gets a direct hit, that side would be cooked. \nNeutron stars are a combination of these pulsing signals from space and the fact some come from old Nova sites. Hence the physics suggests a very dense, spinning remnant of a star.


Can those so called paid surveys realy be legit??

I answer surveys for a company called Pinecone Research.  Pinecone pays $5 per survey taken.  They send you a $5 check in the mail.  They did not charge me to join.\n\nIf any company wants to charge you to take their surveys, I strongly suggest looking up reviews of the company and going to the bbb.org (Better Business Bureau) website to find out if they are, in fact, legit.

If you are going to buy a cocktail dress, make sure you buy something that is chic, classically cut, and timeless so you can wear it year after year.  Go for a solitary color like red, steel grey or black and then you can accessorize the heck out of it to go with the trends (yes, that means a new excuse every season to buy new shoes).\n\nGood luck and happy shopping.

If you were ingaged to be married and your fience's mother hates you what do you do?

First of all, should it matter?  You are engaged to be married to your fiance, not his/her mother.  If they are close, then try to be amicable.  Most of the time, try to avoid being with her.  If it really bothers you, try talking to her and find out why she hates you.  Sometimes when you talk to someone and get things out in the open, it will clear the air and clear some misunderstanding she had about you, and maybe after that, she will like you.

How should you tell your parents you have depression?

Your avatar looks pretty perky! Well, what you should do is just stop taking the herbal medication altogether and tell your parents that you have stopped taking it. \n        It sounds like you have already told your parents about your depression. The next step is to evaluate your feelings. After you do all this, perhaps what your next steps should be are to tell your parents that you need psychotherapy ASAP, or eat lots and lots of turkey.


how is information stored in a molecule of DNA??

a molecule of DNA is made of a double helix of nucleotides.  Inside the cells this double helix is untwisted and spread apart by different enzymes and "read"  These nucleotides that make up the double helix is uncoded in sets of threes to code for different amino acids.  When the amino acids come together they make up different proteins.  So short story short, information is stored in a molecule of DNA by a code of nucleotides.

What's your opinion on the bad calls in the Super Bowl?

Bad calls are part of the game.  The same thing applies to great plays.  They add the "human" element to the game that can make it more intersting.  We have the advantage of seeing a play several times from many angles but umps and refs see only one angle.  \n\nI umpire little league and can admit i make bad calls but i dont do it intentionally.  I usually feel worse when i think about a controversial call and made the wrong one.  After all most of the kids are trying hard and i screw it up for them.  Trust me there is no worse feeling in the world except making it on a stage like the super bowl.


what is the most common things guys look for in a girl?

i looked for common sence and grace, and someone who was sensible and not weird and not stuck up or selfish, or not some one who was to materilistic or thought she was better then everybody else, someone who had talents but didnt brag could cook sew and carry on sensible conversations about lots of topics and who could do everything. someone that was never enmbrassing.  i wanted to like the way she looked, i wanted to know she wasnt a flirt or to easy.  and someone who could stand up for herself in weird situations and who was honest.  someone who was respected for being sensible and wasnt a cheerleader type. someone who was nice to all the weridos and ugly people and who could controll her spending when she knew she was short on money. and someone who said don't rent a limo for the prom because its a waste of money, and who was nice to all my little borthers and sisters.    someone that could work without complaining aobut it and who didnt fight with her parents all the time.  \n\nsome guys just want boobs and virginias, they ususaly get what they want but if they were smart they could get so much more, a friend and a  companion and someone thats worth keeping .

What is the difference between these formats of image : BMP,JPG,TIF & PNG ?

While JPG is *usually* best for scanning, it is a poor choice for scanning plain texts as it tends to have ugly artifacts unless you use very low compression.  BMP and TIF will probably give rather large files and are also poor choices.  PNG is a good bet for storing text.  If you get in a good scan and drop the colors to indexed colors with only 20 or so colors, you'll end up with a small yet easy to read file.  Bumping the contrast up a bit before saving might make the text come out nicer and will usually drop the file size a bit, too.\n\nThe tricks JPG uses to reduce the size of the file just don't work as well as PNG's compression when your graphic has only a small number of unique colors, which is the case for plain texts.

What should i do if i dont really like my bf but he does?

1) Independent of your decision on what to do with the boy who was expelled you should break up with your boyfriend.  It sounds like you just aren't that into him, and that should be your reason for breaking up, not because some other guy asked you out.\n2)  Steer clear of bachelor number two as well, for two reasons\n    1)  He is asking you out when he knows that you already have a boyfriend, which should tell you that \n           a) he doesn't respect relationships\n           b) he is the kind of guy who would impede on another man's happiness\n    2)  This guy has been expelled from high school, and I know that it's difficult to think of the future when you are at an age where the present seems so all-consuming.  But if you project his current actions and attitudes into the future, odds are this guy will be pumping gas / flipping burgers for the rest of his life if he isn't serving time.  \n\nSo to sum up:  \nDump your current boyfriend\nDitch your suitor\nFind a guy whom you like and likes you back.  There are over THREE BILLION guys out there, you can afford to be picky, you WILL find one who has whatever you are looking for.


Ok, I know that the bit about sharks not breathing if they're still is still taught at school, and essentially it has some point. It's true that gill oxygenation is better when the water flow through the branchial area is greater. \nBut sharks DO indeed stop swimming, they can rest near the bottom of the ocean (as if sleeping) and they use the pumping motion of the floor of their mouth (their mostly immobile tongue) to help water move through the gills. \nBut as I've said, immobile sharks lie mostly near the ocean floor. This is because they're rather dense with respect to water (they don't have swimming bladders like bony fishes do), although their enormous, fat-filled liver increases their buoyancy significantly (along with other physiological characteristics). When they swim, sharks can keep themselves in midwater; the movements of the trunk and tail generate the necessary thrust to keep them from falling to the bottom.

Can I have a 401K and a traditional IRA?

Yes, see a tax adviser on your contribution limits however and to see if a Roth may be right for you.  Also, if your company offers a match, make sure you contribute up to the match limit before contributing to an IRA, otherwise you're leaving money on the table.  When you leave your company, roll the money into an IRA.  Expenses are lower in IRA's than 401(k)'s.  A lot of people like to keep their assets together, but since fees eat a huge portion of your returns, I strongly suggest rolling to an IRA rather than your new company's plan.  Plus, that way you're not limited to whatever investment offerings are in the 401(k), you can choose to invest with whomever you'd like.\n\nGood luck!

If God created everything that is good.......who created the devil?

God. (cheating) This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Now, before I go any further, I should make clear that I'm not talking about any of the gods defined in various religions. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to.

Show him what kind of sentences he is using, and compare them to the gramatical structure of the book.


I am 49 and HIV positive.  Is there a market for HIV and/ or aging specific personal fitness trainers?

I am a fitness trainer, and I believe any professional trainer will take on this job. You do not need a specialist. Why are you asking about the market?

My wife and I are looking for a great warm place to raise our children, out West...any Suggestion?

Check out Sahuarita, Arizona. It's just outside of Tucson (about 20 miles), population about 17,000, low criime, family oriented. They expect it to quadruple in size within the next 15 years. It's close enough to Tucson for culture (lots to do there) but doesn't have the crime. The weather is great. Yes, Arizona gets hot in the summer but you just stay inside during the hot part of the day. The evenings are wonderful, so people are out doing things with their families in the evenings. It's a higher altitude than Phoenix, so not quite as hot. The scenery is beautiful. The University of Arizona is in Tucson, plus Pima County Community College, so you have opportunities for your kids to go on to school close to home when they graduate. \n\nCheck it out. I think you might be impressed.

HELP!!i just had a baby with a man that i truly love but i have a problem...?

I would say your man doesnt respect your feelings for him or respect you. If he did he wont be behaving the way he is right now. I suggest you dump him. That should be your goal. Get selfish. And being selfish is not getting back at him or getting even, its just you are trying to protect yours and ur baby's future. Find a job, start working, be a woman, be empowered, live life and find peace.

The number one secret to becoming rich is neither difficult to understand, nor is it kept that much of a secret. The secret is this:\n\nSpend less than you earn.\n\nIt is so simple, yet so many people do not follow it. Professional athletes and movie stars will make millions of dollars per year, yet spend all of that plus a little more, making them poorer each year.\n\nIf you spend all of your money, you will not get rich - it's as simple as that. If you don't put money in the bank, you won't have any money in the bank. There are so many ways to say it, yet it all boils down to the same thing.\n\nThis won't guarantee that you will become rich, but if you don't do it, it is almost a sure fire guarantee what you won't become rich.\n\nI have no feeling for your age, but there is a very good book to read called "The Millionaire Next Door", written by Thomas Stanley and William Danko. They looked at many millionaires and tried to find out what these people had in common, and wrote a book about what they found. The book may be a bit heavy going if you are under 16, but you can always sign it out of the library and give it a try.


Chat rooms, Message boards, myspace, or Y! Answers?

I have tried Y! Answers for a few weeks now, and currently, I am hooked!  At the same time, I am in ministry and direct and moderate a messageboard. BOTH are good tools to work with.  I believe messageboards are better for specificly focusing on topics, where Y! Answers is better for looking into more general browsing of information.

where are some good places to throw a birthday party for teens?

Not a common place, but I took my daughter and her friends to see a new release at the movie theater and afterward to pizza.  In the invitation I mentioned that the movie and pizza was provided but if they wanted snacks at the movie they should bring some pocket money. Ask your local theater manager if they would cut you a deal if you brought in more than 10 people. We received the deal of the matinee price in the evening (about a $2.50 per child savings) and the pizza package at pizza hut for ten girls was about $30.00 that included drinks.  So we spent less than $100.00 on\nthe whole thing and the girls had a great time!

As an outsider whats ur common perception about Pakistan, an alloy in war against terrorism or opposite?

well , the problem that the authority of Pakistan is too weak to contol the country, or we can say that pakistan is too big for its government to handle, besides, the lack of education esp in the remote areas of Pakistan makes its people to be convinced by any ideas if the ideas look worm enough..pressing on the culture of the skin (where no other clture is there than religion)...People there feel very vicimized by the poverty and the lack of education (again i press on the lack of education)..it is easy to pritsh them radical idea based on patience and waiting for the other life with lots of hope(as they are sufferring already in this life)  Solution: Education (by educated people ,real educated ones)..the education will lead to production  and freedom  , and that will lead to have financial stabilty.. which leads to enjoy and love life..any forcable solution in my opinion will lead to more extreme in ideas  ...

what is the best way to learn a language - reading, writing or speaking....?

first of all, are you a visual person or an audio person? If you learn by visual, reading or watching movie (in your language) with subtitle (in the language you want to learn) will help.\n\nIf you learn by audio, listen to the songs (the language you want to learn) and find out the translated lyrics. Another way is to have someone to speak the language to. That helps a lot.

hey, if 'it' curves to the left, is there anything you can do to make 'it' curve to the right and get straight

Japanese women used to tie their feet in half to make it appear as if they had very small feet.  If you can manipulate your feet into folding in half you could probably manipulate "it" into straightening out.  Maybe you could take like a popsicle stick, (or an unsharpened pencil, or a few Q-tips depending on the size) and line it up as best as one could and tape it as tight as you can without being too uncomfortable.  I really don't see why this wouldn't work.  Good luck to your, er, buddy.

is there any substances that mirror cant reflect?

Mirrors don't reflect "substances," they reflect light. As far as things we cannot see in a mirror, they would be the same as the things we cannot see in any other circumstance. Anything that reflects or emits only light waves that are outside of our visuale spectrum (infrared or ultraviolet), or anything that reflects or emits no light at all (I think black holes qualify) wouldn't be visible in a mirror.


is someone knows anything about ATATURK ??

FOUNDER AND THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE TURKISH REPUBLIC\n\n\nAtatürk was born in 1881 at the Kocakasım ward of Salonika, in a three story pink house located on Islahhane Street. His father is Ali Rıza Efendi and his mother Zübeyde Hanım. His paternal grandfather, Hafız Ahmed Efendi belonged to the Kocacık nomads who were settled in Macedonia during the XIV - XV th centuries. His mother Zübeyde Hanım was the daughter of an Old Turkish family who had settled in the town of Langasa near Salonika. Ali Rıza Efendi, who worked as militia officer, title deed clerck and lumber trader, married Zübeyde Hanım in 1871. Four of the 5 siblings of Atatürk died at early ages and only one sister, Makbule (Atadan) survived, and lived until 1956. \n   \n\nUpon reaching school age, little Mustafa started school at the neighborhood classes of Hafız Mehmet Efendi and later, with his father's choice, was transferred to Şemsi Efendi School. He lost his father in 1888 where upon he stayed at the farm of his maternal uncle for a while and returned to Salonika to complete his studies. He registered at the Salonika Mülkiye Rüştiye (secondary school) and soon transferred to the military Rüştiye. While at this school, his math teacher, also named Mustafa, added "Kemal" to his name. He attended the Manastır Military School between 1896 - 1899 and later the Military School in İstanbul from which he graduated in 1902 with the rank of lieutenant. He later entered the Military Academy and graduated on January 11, 1905 with the rank of major. Between 1905 - 1907 he was stationed in Damascus with the 5th. Army. In 1907 he was promoted to the rank of "Kolağası" (senior major) and was posted with the III rd Army , which was stationed in Manastır. He was the Staff Officer of the "Special Troops" (Hareket Ordusu) which entered İstanbul on April 19, 1909. He was sent to Paris in 1910 where he attended the Picardie manuevers. In 1911 he started to work at the General Staff Office in İstanbul. \n\nMustafa Kemal was stationed at Tobruk and Derne regions with a group of his friends during the war which started with the Italian attack on Tripoli. He won the Tobruk battle in 22 December 1911 against the Italians. On March 6, 1912 he was made the Commander of Derne. \n\nWhen the Balkan War started in October 1912, Mustafa Kemal joined the battle with units from Gallipoli and Bolayır. His contributions to the recapturing of Dimetoka and Edirne were considerable. In 1913 he was assigned to Sofia as a military attache. In 1914, while still at this post, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel. His term as an attache ended in January 1915. By that time the First World War had started and the ottomon Empire was inevitably involved. Mustafa Kemal was posted to Tekirdağ with the assignment of forming the 19th Division. \n\nMustafa Kemal put his signature under a legend of heroism at Çanakkale during the First World War, which had started in 1914, and had the Allied Powers admit to the fact that "Çanakkale is unpassable!" On March 18, 1915 when the English and French navies in an attempt to force their way up the Çanakkale Strait gave heavy loses, they decided to put units on land at Gallipoli Peninsula. The enemy forces which landed at Arıburnu on 25 April 1915 were stopped by 19th Divison under Mustafa Kemal's command at Conkbayırı. Mustafa Kemal was promoted to the rank of colonel after this victory. English forces attacked at Arıburnu once more on 6-7 August 1915. Mustafa Kemal, as the Commander of the Anafartalar Forces won the Anafartalar Victory on 6-7 August 1915. This victory was followed by the victories of Kireçtepe on August 17, and the Second Anafartalar Victory on August 21. Turkish nation who lost about 253.000 men at battle, had managed to emerge in honour against the Allied forces. Actually the fate at trenches changed when Mustafa Kemal addressed his soldiers with the wor

suggest some classroom activities for children in the age group of 7, 8, 9.?

Well, if this must have something to do with Math, or abacus calculation, I suggest that you have these slips of paper having equations, like one slip will contain the "question" and the other will contain the "answer".\n\nFor example,\n"3 x 72" and "216"\n\nMake up a few different equations with such slips. Then, in your class, hand out these slips to the children. If they have the "question" slip, their task would be to find the person holding the correct "answer" slip and vice versa.\n\nThis will allow them to interact with one another in some sense. Hope this idea isn't too dull!

It is possible to turn matter into energy, as shown when burning fossil fuels or making an atomic bomb


What is the best way to lose abdominal flabs?

You have to do cardio to burn the layer of fat on top of the stomach.  If you do crunches alone, you will strengthen your abs, but you will never really see them (unless you flex really hard) because of the surface layer of fat.  \n\nThe best at burning fat would be to do interval training...where you do something at a normal pace (ex. running) and then jack up the treadmill to a fast pace so you really work your body.  Get that heart rate up!  Then you can decrease back down to "normal" running mode.  Keep doing this cycle for the duration of your workout time.  \n\nIf you've been out of the exercise mode for a while, then just take it easy...maybe work out once a week...then slowly increase it more.  Ideally, u don't want to set yourself up for failure by setting unrealistic goals.  \n\nGd luck!!!

What separates the crust from the mantle?

Like pauliegone said, the lithosphere does in a way seperate the crust from the mantle.  The tectonis plates (crust) are supported by this semisolid layer.  However, the lithosphere is considered, by some scientists, part of the mantle.  So, it depends on which scientists you believe, although I believe that pauliegone is correct.


is it possible to have never ever had a bowel movement?

I assure you that it is physiologically impossible for a human being\nto survive a lifetime without the benefit of a normal bowel movement\nwhen no other medical intervention takes place. Without the aid of an\nappliance or surgical modification the person would be incapable of\nsustaining life. Impaction would occur in the intestines and cause the\norgan to rupture or become infected to the point that death would\nlikely occur, if for no other reason, sepsis (the introduction of\nputrescent material into the blood) and/or peritonitis (an\ninflammation of the peritoneum, the membrane that lines the wall of\nthe abdomen and covers the abdominal organs. Due to the release of\nputrescent material into the body).\n\nSEPSIS\nhttp://www.drkoop.com/ency/43/000666.html\n\nPERITONITIS\nhttp://www.drkoop.com/ency/43/001335.html\n\n\nThe friend’s claim that she merely “urinates a lot” is hogwash. I’d\ngive very little thought to the credibility of her claim but I’d be\nextremely interested in what motivated her (or “John”) to make it up.\nWhile urination and bowel movements achieve much the same effect with\ndifferent forms of body waste, they are quite different and unrelated.\nIn other words, one cannot urinate her feces away – it simply\nimpossible. Its like saying, “I never trim my nails; I just trim my\nhair a lot”. You see, intestinal waste does not find other alternative\nexits if the bowel movement process is interrupted, in the same way\nthat your kidneys and bladder would not rely on your intestines to\ntake over the job if the renal process stopped. Unreleased feces (and\nthere would be a great deal of it if she ate normally as she claims)\nwould simply accumulate in the gut, stall and eventually rot inside\nthe body, if it didn’t burst the intestine first. It would not “rot\naway”, decay, absorb or dissipate but rather it would make the person\nmorbidly ill in time and it WOULD eventually prove fatal.\n\nThere are patients who do not have a NORMAL bowel movement in years\nand some who do not have a SOLID bowel movement in many years, but for\nan adult to have had NO bowel movement in their life whatsoever (and\nno medical intervention) is simply biologically impossible and\nfrankly, unbelievable. It doesn’t take a gastrointestinal surgeon to\nknow this is a fact. Any reputable, licensed physician who suggests\nthat such a thing is possible would be suspect.\n\nIntestinal ischemia (part of the intestine fails) and intestinal\nnecrosis (part of the intestine dies) is a serious condition that can\nresult in death if not treated promptly. So you see even if a person\nhas a normal bowel movement all their life and suddenly the organ\nstops functioning for even a few days, the medical urgency is\nsomething very serious indeed.

I have the answer.\n\nYou should change the numbers to be "400.0" instead of "400". This is your primary problem.\n\nThe deeper reason that this is happening is that 400*400/400 is an INTEGER expression. It will be evaluated as an integer, and only assigned to a floating point result.\n\nI believe that your compiler is a 16 bit compiler, this is the only answer that makes sense.\n\nNow let's just see what the compiler is doing. Its first step is to evaluate 400*400. Now if you get out your calculator, you will get the answer 160,000. NOT SO FAST!!!! An integer in your compiler is only 16 bits long, and can only express numbers between -32768 and 32767. The answer that it comes up with is 28,928 (160,000 - 2*65,536). It will next divide 28,928 by 400 to give 72 (again it drops the fractional result because it is integer).\n\nIn both C and C++, the result of an integer expression is an integer. It does not matter if it gets assigned to a float or not. If you want float accuracy, then the numbers in the expression must be floats.

What does the horizontal line on a distance-time graph mean the object is doing?

it means the object is not moving, as the distance remains constant


A DIMENSION is a measurement of location. So, just like in high school algebra, you can find anything on a graph or map if you're given its three dimensional coordinates (X, Y, Z).\n\nOnly one thing can occupy a set of coordinates at a time. For example, I'm sitting in a chair in front of my desk. It would be IMPOSSIBLE for someone else to be sitting in this chair as well. Someone could be sitting on my lap, I suppose, but then he (or she) would be higher off the ground - different Z coordinates.\n\nLet's say there's buried treasure one mile north of you, two miles west, and ten feet underground. You trek out, dig down, and instead of treasure you find ... dirt! Why?\n\nBecause in addition to the X,Y, and Z coordinates, you need to know a coordinate in time (T). Yes, 100 years ago there was treasure buried at location X,Y,Z, but unless you get the T coordinate right, too, it doesn't do you any good.\n\nIn just the same way, there can't be someone sitting in my chair (same X,Y,Z) unless we're not both occuppying it at the same FOURTH DIMENSIONAL LOCATION (time or T).

what are the differences between satandard containers and pallet wide containers?

Standard containers may refer to shipping containers which are generally either 20ft long or 40ft long by 8 feet wide (the width of 2 pallets). In the context of your question, the containers you are referring to are more likely to be smaller plastic containers. These are often 23.6 inches x 15.7 inches in plan view so that they can fit onto a pallet in a configuration of 5 per layer. A pallet container is likely to be a pallet size in plan view - 48 inches by 40 inches normally - but with sides.


Is there a difference between a mammoth and a mastadon?

Mastodons are extinct elephant-like mammals which began to roam the North American continent about 20 million years ago.  The meteorological changes  prehistoric earth underwent spelled the demise of the dinosaur; however, this was advantageous for the mastodon.  During the Pleistocene Epoch (1.5 million - 10,000 years ago), the surface world grew very cold.   Thick sheets of ice covered the ground, and resources became scarce.   Mastodons now were among the largest animals on earth, and fared well, certainly because larger animals are better at competing for the few available resources.   \n\nAlthough mastodons appeared on the scene about 20million years ago, a relative, the mammoth didn't appear until about 1 1/2 million years ago.\n\nBoth the mastodon and the mammoth lived throughout the current United States, many remains have been and are being discovered in the vicinity of the Great Lakes.\n\nThe order in which mastodons belong, and to which elephants also belong, is the order Proboscidea. From this class title comes a reference to the trunk possessed by both the mastodon and the elephant; "pro" meaning before and "boskein" meaning to feed. Of course the trunk is and was used for more than just feeding. Our modern elephant demonstrates the agility and strength of the trunk and proves its significance in day-to-day life.  Diseases that affect the trunk of the modern-day elephant have resulted in sickness and ultimately death for the animal.   In such cases, the magnitude of this unique appendage is evident.\n\nThe now-extinct mastodons were large, but were shorter than modern elephants and sported shorter, thicker legs. The earliest probscideans included some members that were pig to cow-sized, and are a distant relative to the manatee. These relatives were herbivores and lacked tusks.  The heavy, shaggy coats possessed by the ancient mastodons are not visible on our modern version, presumably due to climatic changes in out Earth's history.\n\nAnother notable and enlightening difference between the ancient mastodons and modern elephants is the shape of the teeth. Mammoths’ (now extinct, but not as ancient as the mastodons) and elephants’ teeth are flat with a ridged grinding surface. Mastodon teeth are rounded and pointed for clipping leaves and twigs, for they were primarily forest-dwelling creatures.  Research on the teeth gives clues to the lifestyle, habitat, and feeding habits of the ancient proboscideans.  Unlike the modern elephant, which is reserved to warmer climates, the ancient mastodon occupied a larger area which covered a wide sector of northern continents.  The link between the archaic mastodon and the modern elephant is the woolly mammoth, also an extinct mammal.   \n\nIt seems that the mastodons were the precursors to the bison in early North America in regard to their relationship with human inhabitants. It is believed that the early Indians spear-hunted the mastodons as they later did the easy-to-kill bison. Many recovered mastodon fossils bear evidence that man-made tools were the cause of death and butchery after death is evidenced by tool marks on the bones.  The slow-moving mastodon did not have a natural fear of man and made for an easy target for early hunters.  Some scholars believe in addition to spear-hunting, ancient hunters might have herded a great many of the animals over cliffs.\n\nOther predators of the mastodon (mammoth also) were the Dire Wolf, which is larger than the current wolf, and the famous Saber-toothed cats.\n \n\nMastodons disappeared at the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago.  It is not known exactly what happened to them.  Two theories take center stage; due to climactic changes, the mastodon died out, or primitive hunters hunted them to extinction.  No conclusive proof exists.\n\nIt was believed early in the 20th century that, in the proper environment, mastodons and mammoths still lived.  Of course none were found still living.

We have joint custody   he only has visitation how can he stop me from moving with my son out of state?

Very easily. Your moving his son out of state would interfere with the visitation rights granted to him by the court.\nThe only way you could move would be to take the matter back into court. He would have to give his consent, and the terms of his visitation would be changed.\nIf he's against the move, you're not likely to win this one.\nIf he was okay with it, what is likely to happen would be that the child would live with him in the summer months, and he would be able to come to where you live and visit on several major holidays. Taking the boy back to his motel, or whatever, for the days allowed.

"What the bleep do we know?" Any ideas about that movie?

I'm glad you found the ideas in this movie interesting.  I hope you make an attempt to find out more, and especially, more true ideas.  The movie is full of lies, and half-truths, and self-delusions.  I found it offensive.\n\nThe blonde woman is J.Z. Knight, who "channels a spirit" named Ramtha.  She may have started out sincerely many years ago, but she is a con artist now.\n\nAll the wisest sages agree that silly people (sometimes called "beginner's mind") are more likely to see the truth than those of us who think we know a lot, and think we are very smart.


what is my risk of being pregnant and having Atrial Fribillation?

Difficult question to answer.  Coumadin (warfarin) is known to cause birth defects in pregnancy.  However, you can use heparin in pregnancy, but this includes shots one to two times daily.  These drugs are used to prevent clots from developing in the atrium.  If clots were to develop, they could go to your lungs, brain, heart, or any other part of your body, including uterus and placenta.  This could cause harm to the developing fetus.  Also, some of the drugs used to control the rate of A Fib can cause birth defects.  It is best to tell your primary care doctor ASAP if you find out you are pregnant.  Also, if you are trying to get pregnant, you should consult with your OB/GYN, cardiologist, and primary care doctors regarding what drug changes need to be made.  \n\nHope this was helpful.

why most of the man cannot satisfy with their partner,why they are always searching for another after one ?

*Shrugging my furry shoulders* Humans as a species are not monogumous; unlike wolves and certain birds of prey. IE nature did not evolve them to mate for life. \n\nThat is a religious concept that has become accepted by most...\n\nWhy chase others is a lil more complex, (just tossing out a couple of opinions here as I doubt anyone knows the real answer)\n\n1. Humans main biological programming is continuation of the species through propagation. (My personal belief) Which means spreading their genes to as many as they can.\n\n2. Trophies, it is an ego stroke to be with as many as one can. IE The more women you are with the higher on the male machoism scale you gain.


who are some great african american mathmaticians?

A very famous african american mathematician is Benjamin Banneker.


Depends.

Is it necessary to change your computer password?  If so, how often should I do so?

In general as long as your password is secure (you don't suspect anyone of knowing it) it is fairly safe.  The risk of forgetting it and making it difficult to get at your data would outweigh the risk of having someone hack it.  Someone is just as likely to hack the first random password as the second one.\n\nInstead it is better to pick a good password to begin with: use a random selection of letters and numbers, upper and lower case, of a decent length.\n\nIf you ever suspect that your password has been compromised it would be a good idea to change it.  As to how often, for personal use you could probably get away with never changing it.  Use common sense, is someone really trying to hack into your information?  If you do know people are trying to hack into your info (you are famous, you are working on something secret, you've pissed off a foreign government, etc...) change it more frequently.\n\nHope this helps :-)


do you feel for the poeple in third world countries? If so are You doing anything to help?

I certainly appreciate you asking this question for there are a lot of us who feel for the people in the third world countries and are doing our best to make sure that their enviorment and living conditions improve, let me list some of the things that are being done:\n\nIncreased flow of money into the countries from the USA\n\nHave visited often and bought items and various souveniers from the country and brought them back to the USA\n\nHere in the USA we have imported their whiskey for years\n\nWe now have taken over the hockey franchises from them\n\nWe have better football and in trying to teach them to change they resist, so we send them our secondary players.\n\nWe try to change them to a democratic way of life but they insist on obeying a Queen and living in a monarchy\n\nSend them foodstuff from the USA for they have no national food.\n\nSend them our draft dodgers, bail jumpers, etc\n\nLet them steal the melody from God Bless America\n\nI really don't know what more we can do for our friends in the North, they just do not appreciate everything that we do for them in fact their famous people come down here to make a living:  Jim Carry, Alex Trebeck, Linda Ronstadt (sorry wrong country she is from the Southern third world country), \nMel Gibson (again sorry, but another one of those countries that have a Queen).  Now I don't say that the total country is third world don't forget Quebec which is now a part of France, they qualify as a second world country.\n\nSo, yes I do feel for people in the third world countries, the second world countries, fourth and fifth world countries \n(these are usually in colder climates, Finland, Norway, etc) and the sixth world countries (Mars, Pluto and Uranus) so if you have the same feelings I want to know what YOU are doing about it for asking questions does not qualify as concern.

why religious  chiefs do not preach hatred of war and love for mankind?

I believe that most religious leaders attempt to convey the message of their particular faith, or at least their interpretation of it.  One of the problems with faith is that, in order to embrace it, one generally believes that it is truth.  As we are humans, and endlessly fallible, it is difficult to see how any of us could ever grasp the "truth", as demonstrated by billions of believers in disparate faiths.  As fallible beings, we also would make mistakes in interpretation, even if we knew the truth.\n\nAs religious leaders often use their faith as a rubrik to understand current events (using ideas and pracitices as old as millenia to interpret cloning for example) they often have to make some difficult decisions regarding moral courses of action.  Within the framwork of belief, these "moral" leaders have to decide if contemporary events are moral and how to guide their congregations to look at these issues.  Even if one takes this view (which assumes that all religious leaders are intellectually honest and aren't swayed by emotions, greed, racism, etc) it is easy to see how even civil wars are fought between two sides that are Christian, for example.  \n\nIf the religious leaders of a particular faith feel threatened by an outside faith they might have feel the need to resist the threat rather than be forced from the path of truth.  In Russia, during the reformation of the Orthodox church in the time of Ivan the Terrible, the old believers, who would not accept the changes in the church, burned themselves to death rather than face torture or punishment from the church.  We have seen holy wars between Islamic  countries, sanctioned by leaders of the faiths as necessary within their framework of what is right and moral.\n\nEveryone has a belief system that acts as a compass in the world.  What is necessary in order for everyone to do as you ask, is for everyone to embrace tolerance and forsake greed and competition. Also, everyone would have to either stop needing to believe that there is an "absolute truth" or at least accept the fact that what is true for one man is not for another.  Unfortuantely, I'm afraid that faith and the abovementioned are almost defining characteristics of our species and we have a long way yet to evolve.

I got a headache and a sore throat. What kind of sickness do I have?

Maybe the stuff you were inhaling from the turtle tank gave you a sinus infection which is where the headache would come from - do you feel it on your temples, and pressure behind your eyes, nose, and bridge of nose?  The sore throat could also be from irritannts from the tank, or just part of the sinus infection... it sounds like you just have a regular cold though, and the turtle tank was just a coinincidents.  If it persists go to the doctor.  In the meantime just take it easy and drink lots of water.


are state governments exempt from lawsuits?

It is a very complicated question.  State do have sovereign immunity from suits claiming that they have violated federal law, unless the states have waived that immunity as they sometimes do.  This immunity shields them from paying damages for past acts, though not against injunctive relief to prevent the actions in the future.  This immunity does not apply to counties, cities or smaller political divisions in a state.\n\nBeginning about 10 years ago the Supreme Court started issuing a series of opinions greatly strengthening the immunity enjoyed by states, as part of the conservative federalist legal revolution.\n\nTHis is a complicated and changing area of US law, so the precise answer you are interested in may depend on the facts involved.


The Lowry Method\nThe Lowry method for determining protein concentration\nis essentially a biuret reaction that incorporates\nthe use of Folin-Ciocalteu reagent for\nenhanced color development. The Lowry procedure\nis more commonly used in research applications\nbecause it is ten times more sensitive than\nthe biuret reaction. In the Lowry method, protein is\nfirst treated with alkaline copper sulfate in the\npresence of tartrate. This “incubation” is then followed\nby addition of the Folin-phenol reagent. It is\nbelieved that the enhancement of the color reaction\nin the Lowry procedure occurs when the tetradentate\ncopper complexes transfer electrons to the\nphospho-molybdic/phosphotungstic acid complex\n(Mo+6/W+6, Folin phenol reagent). Reduction of the\nFolin phenol reagent yields a blue color read at 750\nnm.17,18\nAlthough the Lowry method has the distinction of\nbeing the most referenced assay in the biochemical\nliterature and has become the standard for protein\nquantitation, it is also well known for its deficiencies.\nFor example, the alkaline copper reagent\nis unstable and requires daily preparation with a\nmulti-step procedure that is time- and labor-intensive.\nIn addition, the assay has been shown to be\nphotosensitive.

How soon after unprotected sex should one have an HIV test and how reliable are the results?

The best way to do it is this:\n\nHave a test as soon as possible after unprotected sex or other risky contact such as sharing needles.  This will establish a baseline- after all, you might have HIV and not know it, so this will let you know if you do.\n\nThen, if the result is negative, in three months have another test. This result is usually (around 90%) accurate.  Of course, you don't want to fall in that margin of error, so in another 3 months, take a third test.  If this test is negative, then you are totally in the clear.  As long as you have not had unsafe sex or risky contact of any kind during the 6 month period since the first test, then you can be certian beyond a reasonable doubt that you do not have HIV.\n\nWhile we are talking about testing, keep in mind a couple of things:\n\n1.  Where you get your test is very important.  You want to go to an agency or organization that provides what is called "disclosure councilling"- meaning that they will talk you through the experience of having the test, and be able to help you understand your behavior surrounding risk and what you can do to minimize it in the future.  There are lots of organizations that do this,  particularly within the gay community. Be aware also that there are testing centers devoted to certian groups within our culture- for example, African-American or Asian-American testing centers- where they might speak your language or understand your background better...so they are better equipped to deal with your issues.\n\n2.  Be sure that you understand the difference between "Confidential" and "Anonymous" testing.  Anonymous testing means that a number is assigned to your case file at the testing center, and that your name is never attached to that file.  To get your results, you simply give your number.  Confidential testing attaches your name to the file, so there is a risk, however slight, that this information may be leaked to insurance agencies or the government.\n\nGood luck! Remember that knowing your status is a heck of a lot better than not knowing....

I don't know if this will be specific enough for you...but\nif x is within range of P (a matrix) ...when multiplying P by a constant, it gets distributed....hence multiplying x term and its corresponding solution.  Therefore, if c>=x, then cP-xx>=0  [If c=x, it will be =0, if c>x, it will be positive.\n\nMatrix P: {1x + 0y = a      cP [ cx    + c(0)y = ca\n           0x + 1y = b]          c(0)x + cy    = cb(note that I have already worked matrix P down to solution form of\n  [1x + 0y = a\n   0x + 1y = b]\nIf x>=0, and c>=0, then cx>=0 and xx>=0.  Hence, if c>=x, then cx>=xx, so cP-xx>=0\n\nIf you didn't mean x as a variable, but instead another matrix...disregard this solution

What should a girl get a guy for Valentine's day?

first date on Valentines day... you must really like pressure or applying it. normally I would say no gifts on a first date, the date should be used to get to know each other. but since you are going out on "romantic holiday" here are a couple of suggestions. If you are both old enough maybe a nice bottle of wine. If you neither of you drink or you are under 21 a simple flower for the lapel would be nice. Try not to be too elaborate you may scare him off. What if he does not get you something, I think you could get him something but do not give it to him unless he presents you with a gift first (not to be childish) just so you do not make him feel uncomfortable  remember this is a first date. If he does not get you anything and you still feel compelled to give a gift, make it something like a small box of chocolate that you could both share. \nBeing a guy I have never expected a gift from a girl on a date, but have given them. The best returns for me was a genuine smile and comment of appreciation from the girl, making me feel like I had truly brought a little joy to her through my thoughtfulness.

Don’t rush it.  Take your time.  Sounds like you would be better off just talking to different guys until you get over your shyness.  You do not NEED to be dating anyone steadily.  Things will change drastically in college.  If you are more comfortable in talking with guys this will really help you.


I really like this guy and he notices me, but how do i get him to ask me out?

This guy probably really does like you but he most likely is afraid of being turned down. You can use the suttle approach and ask him out. Say something to him (privately) like: "If I say yes to a date, would you ask me out? If he says yes but doesn't follow through, respond by saying "well, go ahead! ask me out." It would of worked for me if I was given the chance.


Ladies/does anyone have any advice as to what really works to get rid of cramps/or make it feel better?

DRs will advise you to go on birth control to help with severe cramps, but make sure they check you out for Endometriosis first.\n\nFor my cramps I take a warm bath and use a heating pad. \nAnd I take extra strength tylenol sometimes. I'm not a big pill popper, but have on occasion taken a pain killer prescribed by my Doc when the cramps were so bad I couldn't walk.\n\nHydrating yourself is a good idea since muscle cramping can be worse when muscles aren't properly hydrated\nand exercising can help a great deal...assuming the cramps aren't so bad that you can't walk straight.


im 20 and i want to know if it to early to be thinking about getting married .plus we have our problems?

First of all, WE ALL HAVE OUR PROBLEMS...that is part of life and relationships, it is how you manage your problems and if you can come out holding hands that matter. I was married by the time I was 19 and I have been married for 11 years. I have never had any regrets. Just look to your heart for the answer.


How many times can a man ejaculate in one session?

Males can have as many orgasms as womans, that's no doubt. Ejaculation is usually associated with orgasm, but one can have orgasm without ejaculation. Actually, the quantity of sperm ejaculated is just a matter of physiological structure of each person. Some might produce a larger amount and might not ejaculate it all in one session (orgasm). Hence, in just a few successive orgasms you might lose all the quantity, then your body will have to produce another one, before a next ejaculation. Meanwhile, the orgasms might still happen, providing thet the male in charge has enough energy to keep moving.


George Clooney....he is one interesting man!  I love how modest he actually is and especially love his prankster bit.  Sure, he's gorgeous too but it's really all about the interest factor.


if matter can be converted to energy - how is energy converted to matter?

Particle physicists make this kind of reaction happen every day in laboratories. This accomplished by accelerating ordinary particles up to very high speeds, close to the speed of light, and smashing them into each other. In an interesting collision, the result is a spray of new particles, many of which may be heavier than the original pair that collided. The energy of motion of the orignal particles has contributed to creating new ones. Some of these new particles are very interesting and exotic! Most only live for a short time before decaying into more ordinary stuff. \n\nIt is in this way that scientists have found out what kinds of particles exist. The world is made up of stable particles, and we only know about the unstable ones because we have been able to create them in the laboratory out of the energy in the collisions. \n\nThere are rules of course. Whenever a particle is made, certain things have to add up. The energy has to add up, of course. The total electrical charge cannot change, and so when many kinds of particles are made, the same number of antiparticles must also be made (some particles are their own antiparticles so you can make one of these at a time. Photons are examples of this). Antimatter annihilates with corresponding matter particles, and the result is eventually photons, leaving no net new matter.

What program is best for converting DVD movies to avi or mpg?

Cool dude.. I use Dr DivX Video encoding for this purpose. It works fine. This product is from DivXNetworks, Inc.
