what is the best way to go about buying a home for the first time?

I just did this recently! I will be first to tell you it is not as scary/stressful or hard as some will tell you.\nFirst find a mortgage broker. If you can find one like our guy, you're good. You give him your info, (name, social security number etc.) We told the broker that we wanted to know EXACTLY how much money we would be approved for prior to looking for a house.That way we weren't looking at stuff we couldn't afford.\nHe called us and gave us our amount and told us to go find a house.he also suggested a real estate agent, which we made an appointment with.\nMeanwhile we looked online and got those real estate books you see everywhere. We found a house on our own prior to even meeting the agent and when we went to see her it wasn't one of hr houses but she called the agent that did have it listed and we went and looked at it.Said we wanted it, and then the agent and the broker did the rest of the work and all we had to do was keep checking with them , calling them to see what the next step was.Most agents/brokers know you are a first time buyer and will help you along in the process, they know how hard things can be. Although , the hardest part is actually finding a house you want. If you have a spouse, you'd be amazed at what you 2 will argue about.(my husband got all annoyed with me when I said I wanted something that was already wallpapered- and he wanted painted walls because wall paper peels-whatever- that's just how stupid it can get)\n1 month later we bought it and moved in for around 400 dollars.We don't have the greatest credit in the world either. To break down house hunting here you go:\nLook within your price range.\nget a real estate agent who will ask for the world. You want the seller to pay closing costs. \nIf it's you by yourself buying, or with someone else, then sit down and decide EXACTLY what you NEED in a house.What you want, and what you can live with/without. This will be your home for a while you are going to want to have certain things when you are paying that kind of money out.\n\nMy husband could not live without a garage.I wanted a 2 story, and we both knew we did not want to live in a subdivision. Not only did the house we pick have a 2 car garage in the front of the house, it had a 2 car outbuilding/garage in the back, a hot tub, and a playhouse in the backyard that looks exactly like the real house.\n When I say get an agent who will ask for the world, I mean just that. This house did not come with the playhouse,and they wanted a certain amount for it, we offered about 20,000 less than what they wanted, and told them we wanted the playhouse, and we also wanted them to leave the fridge, stove, dishwasher, and an upstairs airconditioning unit, not to mention we wanted them to pay all of the closing costs. of course they said "no" but they didn't just say no flat out, they said "we want what we asked for the house, but we will let you keep all the things you asked for, plus the playhouse and we will pay 80% of the closing costs." We tacked the rest of the closing costs onto the mortgage and we were good to go.\n\nI know you probably don't live in my area, and I am not sure how the schemantics of it work, but if you are interested in knowing the name of our broker, he'd be happy to contact you.He asked us to put his name out there and he is relatively new, so he is anxious to please. Of course I'm not giving you his name on here but if you are interested drop me a note, by editing your question and saying you are interested in who he is.\n\nItried to email you but no luck, email me if you get a chance, and I will give you that.

What's the best way to get rid of an ex who doesn't know when to move on?

Well only take it to the police if you feel threatened. Otherwise, express that you are not ready for a relationship right now. Express that its not "cool" the way he drops by unannounced. Make sure that you are clear and are not sending mixed signals. If he doesn't get the message you might have to take it to the proper authorities...meaning police. If you both are adults, then he should know better.


my boyfriend dumped me twice and  think he may again!?

Time to find a new boyfriend.  This time try for one who respects you.


How do you survive a long distance relationship.  I only want to be with him!?

My husband & I lived apart for a while and may have to do so again soon.  \n\nWe tried the following:\nPhone calls\nEmails\nDedicating a song at a local radio station to the other\nSending "local" things to each other\nVisiting as often as possible\nSnail mail with cologne and perfume on it to remind each other\nMaking each other CD's to listen to\n\nWe always knew where the other was (but went out with friends, etc- jealousy was not an issue), and kept up on the "little details" that you miss so much of when you're away.  We even had Thanksgiving dinner (made the same homestyle box meal w/ turkey in it at the same time) over the phone. We would rent the same movies, watch them the same night, then talk about it after. \n\nGood luck, and hang in there if he's worth it.

wat is the differences between communication satellite and weather satellite??

A comsat is used specifically as a relay. It typically doesn't have any optical equipment, which weather satelites employ.\n\nAlso, comsats typically have a geosynchronous (a.k.a. "Clark") orbit, where weather satelites typically have polar orbits so they can get a better "spread". A polar orbit lasts about 90 mins which is why you see the delay between satelite weather photographs on the news. A geosynchronous orbit makes the satelite appear steady from the earth, thus able to act as a relay.

how do you think Mendeleev's periodic table affects us today?

the periodic table is great because it ditinguishes the different shells (s, p, d and f) that are filled as you add electrons. eg. He has 2 s electrons (full shell)\nNe has 1s2, 2s2 and 2p6 (full shell).\nIt gets a little more complicated at d electrons (transition metals) but Mendeleev did a great first shot.


Describe how a radio can select a particular frequency to receive from all the many frequencies around it.?

This is true, usually the filters are made by Inductances and Capacitors.\nOriginally the radios used a variable capacitance to select the frequecy, now they used a PLL; is an electronic device that "lock" the radio in the desired frequency.

Spirituality. Especially  regarding atheists........have you ever wondered ?

I guess I can answer that, somewhat. That is a very deep question. I see it as this, If you run around and act as if others feelings and and others belongings mean nothing strictly because you dont believe in a God or after life then that makes for a shallow person. You still have yourself to wake up to. You still have children to raise. Maybe when they get older they will choose to embrace a religious figure. That should be there choice. I dont shove religion down my Childs throat, I also do not denounce religion of any sort. I still have myself to wake up to. I guess it boils down to your morals. Chris...

Why do people give friends silly nicknames?

It's just one of those things, it's cute. It's clever. Nickname can have many meanings, but be sure that it is not neutral. \n\nSome bullies give the kids they pick on nicknames, maybe to lower their self-esteem, or to make themself feel better\n\nSome couples give their significant other nicknames to show their affection\n\nSome friends give their other friends nicknames just because it is a sign of friendship, something that they can call you (and they know the inside joke, and even if there is no inside joke, the inside joke is that there IS NO INSIDE JOKE, just some random thing).\n\nI know for some reason, my friends all started for some reason to say that I'm german. I have no idea why, everytime this happens, I'm like "What are you talking about?!" In that particular case, it's just something that they came up with that is pretty funny cause it's random, something that can be associated with me that is comical I guess.\n\nI actually in response, after I changed schools, whenever my friend would make fun of me (in all fun) I would say something about him being from sweden, and it's just so funny because it's random, and everytime after that you say it, it's funny because it's so random, but it's something you associate with that person since you did it. Other people get a kick outta the randomnest and the almost 100% possibility of it being wrong, but still acting like they believe it.\n\nI really don't know how to put it into words exactly.\nAll I can say for your situation is that for some reason, whatever person your dealing with might of been feeling so crazy that day, he decided to give you some whacked up name, and sometimes name's stick, and he calls you that ever since. \nVery logical reason why.\n\nAnd are you so sure it's not an term of endearment? Sometimes people get a little attached to enemies or things they don't like, and a little bit of attachment is all you need for a term of endearment.\n\nLet me give you a quick example before I end this little rant/essay. I used to hate this kid in school, but he had a nickname. After I graduated, I saw this kid again, even though an enemy, was pretty happy to see him because he brought back all the old times, but I still greeted him as lil (female dog, that was his nickname)


Were spanish people discriminated against in the 50's & 60's?

Well, people were judged by their appearance. So a dark Cuban, Peurto Rican, Dominican, etc would have been considered black so they would have experience the same discrimination that blacks had to deal with. However, if you talk about a real light Cuban, Spaniard, Argetine, Puerto Rican, they would have  been considered white, i.e. if they chose to obstain from speaking Spanish,etc and assimilating into the mainstream. \n So, only the really light Latinos would experience less racism then their darker compatriots.\n  In the 1940s, Puerto Ricans fought in integrated units during the Second World War, compared to blacks and  Asians which fought in segregated units.

Kienböck's Disease\n  Bone is living tissue that requires a regular supply of blood for nourishment. If the blood supply to a bone stops, the bone can die, a condition known as osteonecrosis. That's what happens in Kienböck's disease, which affects the lunate, one of the small bones of the hand near the wrist. \n\nSigns and symptoms \n\nThe cause of Kienböck's disease is unknown. Many people with Kienböck's disease think they have a sprained wrist at first. They may have experienced some form of trauma to the wrist, such as a fall. This type of trauma can disrupt the blood flow to the lunate. In most people, two vessels supply blood to the lunate, but in some people there is only one source. This puts them at greater risk for developing the disease. As the disease progresses, other signs and symptoms are noted, including: \n\n\nA painful and sometimes swollen wrist \n\nLimited range of motion in the affected wrist (stiffness) \n\nDecreased grip strength in the hand \n\nTenderness directly over the bone (on the top of the hand at about the middle of the wrist) \n\nPain or difficulty in turning the hand upward

How did Baltar manage to live through the the blast on Caprica in season 1?

They replay the scene once in a while during the new episodes but basically #6 (the blond Cylon) shielded Gaius from the actual blast.  We later find out that #6 did indeed 'die' from the blast.  Gaius later managed to hitch a ride off of Caprica with Sharon as Helo sacrificed his seat on the ship for Gaius.

there are countries that can participate in winter sports nearly all year round.

In other words, some in those northern counthern ski to an from work and to an from school.\n\nWhy, because they can... they have the climate.

Cold War: Postwar Estrangement\n1.The Western democracies and the Soviet Union discussed the progress of World War II and the nature of the postwar settlement at conferences in Tehran (1943), Yalta (February 1945), and Potsdam (July-August 1945). After the war, disputes between the Soviet Union and the Western democracies, particularly over the Soviet takeover of East European states, led Winston Churchill to warn in 1946 that an "iron curtain" was descending through the middle of Europe. For his part, Joseph Stalin deepened the estrangement between the United States and the Soviet Union when he asserted in 1946 that World War II was an unavoidable and inevitable consequence of "capitalist imperialism" and implied that such a war might reoccur. \n\nThe Cold War was a period of East-West competition, tension, and conflict short of full-scale war, characterized by mutual perceptions of hostile intention between military-political alliances or blocs. There were real wars, sometimes called "proxy wars" because they were fought by Soviet allies rather than the USSR itself -- along with competition for influence in the Third World, and a major superpower arms race. \n\nAfter Stalin's death, East-West relations went through phases of alternating relaxation and confrontation, including a cooperative phase during the 1960s and another, termed dtente, during the 1970s. A final phase during the late 1980s and early 1990s was hailed by President Mikhail Gorbachev, and especially by the president of the new post-Communist Russian republic, Boris Yeltsin, as well as by President George Bush, as beginning a partnership between the two states that could address many global problems. \n\n\n\nCold War: Soviet Perspectives\n2.After World War II, Joseph Stalin saw the world as divided into two camps: imperialist and capitalist regimes on the one hand, and the Communist and progressive world on the other. In 1947, President Harry Truman also spoke of two diametrically opposed systems: one free, and the other bent on subjugating other nations. \n\nAfter Stalin's death, Nikita Khrushchev stated in 1956 that imperialism and capitalism could coexist without war because the Communist system had become stronger. The Geneva Summit of 1955 among Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States, and the Camp David Summit of 1959 between Eisenhower and Khrushchev raised hopes of a more cooperative spirit between East and West. In 1963 the United States and the Soviet Union signed some confidence-building agreements, and in 1967 President Lyndon Johnson met with Soviet Prime Minister Aleksei Kosygin in Glassboro, New Jersey. Interspersed with such moves toward cooperation, however, were hostile acts that threatened broader conflict, such as the Cuban missile crisis of October 1962 and the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia of 1968. \n\nThe long rule of Leonid Brezhnev (1964-1982) is now referred to in Russia as the "period of stagnation." But the Soviet stance toward the United States became less overtly hostile in the early 1970s. Negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union resulted in summit meetings and the signing of strategic arms limitation agreements. Brezhnev proclaimed in 1973 that peaceful coexistence was the normal, permanent, and irreversible state of relations between imperialist and Communist countries, although he warned that conflict might continue in the Third World. In the late 1970s, growing internal repression and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan led to a renewal of Cold War hostility. \n\nSoviet views of the United States changed once again after Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in early 1985. Arms control negotiations were renewed, and President Reagan undertook a new series of summit meetings with Gorbachev that led to arms reductions and facilitated a growing sympathy even among Communist leaders for more cooperation and the rejection of a class-based, conflic

Are there any trauma surgeon college programs without becoming a general surgeon first?

No. Trauma/Critical Care is a subspecialty in the United States. At least 5-years of General Surgery residency, and 1-2 year Trauma and or Critical Care Fellowship. There is no Board Certification in this area. So if you are in the U.S. 4-years of University, 4-years of medical school, 5-years of not sleeping during surgery residency, and 1-2 years of Fellowship. Then you get to stay up all night. : )

Where can I find silicon sand used in firing porcelain in a kiln?

Silica sand can be found in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.\n\nThe first industrial uses of crystalline silica were probably related to metallurgical and glass making activities a few thousand years BC. It has continued to support human development throughout history, being a key raw material in the industrial revolution especially in the glass, foundry and ceramics industries. Silica contributes to todayÌs information technology revolution being used in the plastics of computer mouses and providing the raw material for silicon chips.\nhttp://www.qpa.org/pro_sil.htm

What are the earliest known citations of Biblical Texts?

I don't know the answer off-hand.  I'll be tuning in to see.  ;)\n\nI have added this edit to my question which you answered:\n\nFeb 27, 2006 at 10:12 pm\nBill, John 19:31 says, "Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath." Ok, so John is saying that the 14th of Nissan (the Day of Preparation) was on Friday that year. So the next day of course would have been Sabbath, as well as 15th of Nissan, the day of the Seder, so yes, a great sabbath. \n\nBut this in no way answers my question. Because if we are to believe John, then the 14th of Nissan that year occurred on a Friday. Therefore, the 15th would have begun Friday evening, there would have been a Passover Seder that evening, and according to Mark, Jesus ate that Passover Seder, then was not crucified until the Next Day, which according to John, then would have been on a Saturday!


What is emptiness -shunyata in buddhism?

Two thousand five hundred years ago, the Buddha was able to realise "emptiness" (s. sunyata). By doing so he freed himself from unsatisfactoriness (s. dukkha). From the standpoint of enlightenment, sunyata is the reality of all worldly existences (s. dharma). It is the realisation of Bodhi — Prajna. From the standpoint of liberation, sunyata is the skilful means that disentangle oneself from defilement and unsatisfactoriness. The realisation of sunyata leads one to no attachment and clinging. It is the skilful means towards enlightenment and also the fruit of enlightenment.\n\nThere are two ways for us to understand this concept of sunyata in the Mahayana context. One way is to try to understand the explanation about its true nature. The other way is the realisation through practice. What we are going to discuss now is about its true nature.\n\nMahayana teachings have always considered that the understanding of sunyata is an attainment which is extremely difficult and extraordinarily profound.\n\nFor example, in the Prajna Sutra it says "That which is profound, has sunyata and non-attachment as its significance. No form nor deeds, no rising nor falling, are its implications."\n\nAgain in the Dvadasanikaya Sastra (composed by Nagarjuna, translated to Chinese by Kumarajiva A.D. 408) it says: "The greatest wisdom is the so-called sunyata."\n\nThis sunyata, no creation, calmness and extinction (s. nirvana) is of a profound significance in the Mahayana teachings. Why do we see it as the most profound teaching? This is because there is no worldly knowledge, be it general studies, science or philosophy, that can lead to the attainment of the state of sunyata. The only path to its realisation is via the supreme wisdom of an impassionate and discriminating mind. It is beyond the common worldly understanding.

any ideas on how to plan a good marketing strategy?

For a café you need to focus firstly on three marketing elements: Place, Physical Evidence and People:\n\nPhysical Evidence is the physical environment of your store. It is about the colors, the decoration, the layout and many more.\n\nPeople are the employees you hire and must be pleasant, customer service oriented, good-looking, etc.\n\nPlace is where your café will be located. It is a very important factor of the success of your company. Your café should be located either in a trade center, mall, etc. or near other successful cafes (don’t risk opening a café where is no competition or a market, changes are that you fail). The only occasion that your café may be isolated is if it is on a mountain, by the see or somewhere with breathtaking and magnificent view.

Why do 80% of those 'saved' by evangelastic means of the evangelicals in americah draw back to backsliden?

It would be interesting to know if your 80% is just an estimate, or if there has been research.\n\nI know I was evangelized several times during my wicked youth, and always "backslid" for the same reason: sex.  Unless you hurry up and get married, you eventually realize that becoming a "born again" means giving up sex.  Not worth it!\n\nA more serious reason was reason itself: the contradictions I was expected to swallow to be a "true believer."  Being a philosophy major and rather proud of my intellect, I simply could not go along with suspending my critical thinking in order to keep right with God (as the evangelists present him).  I decided a god who expected that was not one to worship, but to hold in contempt.  Now I am a happy pagan, and have no problems.  (Well, none like that anyway; my bank account is pitiful . . .)

Why do they say, "You can't have your cake and eat it too?"?

Cause if you ate the whole cake, it went down into your stomach and some was burned up as you used energy, some was eliminated, and some stored as fat.

My boyfriend is a body piercer. He has done it for almost 10 years now. He has his nipples pierced and I love them. I have watched him pierce nipples on men and women. Everyone is different when it comes to pain. I have seen some people who take it with no problems and some people wimp around after it is done. It's all based on you. I think it is a neat piercing. I don't have mine done yet. I have 9 piercing now and I'm movin' on up. Piercing "your lady"? Well, I will never do it and my boyfriend won't pierce that area. He says that it is hard for some people to get that area healed b/c it is easy to get infected. It is a warm, wet area. AND.... no sex for a long while after it is done. If you can keep it clean and think it is something u want.... GO FOR IT.....

How can Seek First to Understand, Then be Understood work? Or can it? (Its a question out of 7 habits)?

Basically, when two people disagree, they are both trying to be understood by the other. This habit says to try and understand first. Basically, you are letting the other person tell his side first. And, you are making sure that you really understand what he is saying rather than just listening to the words. Once you understand what the other person is saying, then you can explain your own position.

Irish emigrants to American were once looked down upon as a minority.  What was the reason for this?

because they were a minority. they were looked down upon because first off there were so many poor Irish people coming to America at the same time that as a group they looked dirty and were different. the great potato famine caused so many Irishmen to die that America was there only option and when they showed up here they would do any work for money that they could to support their families. it wasn't right but that is how it happened. the english in America probably treated  them the worst.

Firtly, you would have to specify which Juggernaut and which Blob.\n\nCurrently in th Marvel Universe, Fred Dukes aka the Blob has been depowered so no longer has the ability to withstand any force.\n\nJuggernaut as well has been (somewhat) depowered.  He no longer follosw the God Cittorak and therefore does not have Cittorak's powerboost.  He is not as strong.\n\nI'd say as for Classis Blob and Classis Juggernaut, Juggernaut would easily win the flight, though the Blob would certainly make it difficult to hurt him - the Juggrnaut can onyl be stopped though his helmet, mostly with psychic powers or magic and the Blob has neither of these things.

Has the speed of light been slowing down since ancient times and if so, what are the consequences?

No.\n\nHowever, just recently, in 1999, John Webb, an Australian astronomer, wrote a paper about some results (gathered by another group) that *hinted* at a *minor* change in the speed of light. In the end, though, more recent follow-up observations have not found this effect. So the speed of light remains, as far as we can determine, constant.\n\nWhat the observations were is spectra from extremely distant quasars. The relationship of the spectral lines for different substances (they were probably looking at lines from ionized iron) depend on the rules of Quantum Mechanics (which are not disputed by anyone sensible) and some physical constants.\n\nThe most important constant related to this is what is called the "fine structure constant," which depends on the value of Planck's constant ("h"), as well as the speed of light ("c"), and also another one known as the "permittivity of the vaccuum." It turns out that the fine structure constant has a value of about 137 with no units. Its a pure number.\n\nWhat the observations suggested was that the fine structure constant (written as the greek letter alpha) was slightly different in the distant, and therefore long-ago, quasars. Their reasoning was the the most likely "constant" in the fine structure constant to be variable was c, the speed of light.\n\nTherefore the said that their pre-1999 observations suggested that the speed of light was slightly different in the first billion years or so, after the Big Bang.\n\nIf true, this is a huge deal, even if the variation in c is very small. So a couple of groups went out and tried to duplicate the results. Better observations did NOT show the effect, so the idea that c was changing was dropped.\n\nThis proceeded exactly the way science is supposed to work. Note in the 2001 link below, at the bottom of the article the then-proponents of this idea "were careful not to overhype it." This differs from some cranks who make great claims without any observations.\n\n\nA couple of related comments: when light passes through a medium, like glass, the photons bounce around alot instead of just flying straight through, so the effective speed of the light through the glass is less than c. The constant c = 299,792,458 meters/s, is the speed of light in a vaccum.\n\nAlso, there are some experiments which have been done on light in a medium which are sometimes portrayed as "light going faster than c." That is sort true, but misleading. The faster speed is the phase speed and no information is carried faster than light.\n\nAnd finally, some creationists claim that the speed of light has changed *A LOT* because they want all the distant galaxies and such to be much closer to us, so that the age of the universe fits their bible-based conclusions. I don't think these guys want the universe to be 6000 years old, but only a few million. At any rate, there is absolutely no evidence for this drastic change in c, and lots of evidence that the idea wrong.

Whats your opinion about Iran?? How do you see this country???

I think it's a great country in many respects, and not so great in some other ;). The answer to your question really does depend on many factors : as a country to spend time in as a tourist, you'd love it. I know of many foreigners (to Iran) including Americans who were so pleasantly surprised after spending their holiday in Iran (I've been asked if I was nuts to leave that country!!!); on the other hand, it's not exactly the best place in the world to live in; but that's mainly for the citizens. You'll hear people saying you shouldn't go because of the war, and the shooting, and all that rubbish. Well, guess what? There is no war going on in Iran !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm sad pleas tell me a good joke to make me feel better pleas!?

The other night I was invited out for a night with "the girls." I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, "I promise!" Well, the hours passed and the champagne was going down way too easy. \nAround 3 a.m., drunk as a skunk, I headed for home. Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, realizing he would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times. I was proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution (even when smashed), in order escape a possible conflict with him. The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, and I told him 12:00. He did not seem disturbed at all. Whew! Got away with that one! \nThen he said, "We need a new cuckoo clock. "When I asked him why, he said, "Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said, "oh shit," cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the cat and farted.


Is the building of dams worth the change to the habitat?

The benefits of building dams are beginning to be questioned by many people. Dams have provided great benefits of many kinds. As water reservoirs they are often essential to the survival of nearby communities. In areas where there is little rainfall like Arizona large dams are the main source of water for both large and small cities. The water held by these dams is coming from hundreds of miles upstream. In other areas dams were built for flood control purposes and have allowed farmers and communities to live better lives because large floods have been prevented. Most of these dams also provide an economic benefit, in the form of recreation, fishing, and tourism to the area. In other areas the dams have been built expressly to provide electricity, like in the Pacific Northwest. That area generates most of its electricity from dams and even supplies electricity to other states. Dams have allowed cities like Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Francisco, and even Los Angeles to have power and water supply. \n\nOn the negative side, river habitats are some of the most productive and diverse in most environments. Animals and plants rely on the river for water and sustenance. Flooding eliminates these habitats and often dramatically alters the habitat of the river downstream from the dam. There are now periodic artificial floods allowed in the Grand Canyon to help restore natural environments in the canyon. Another example of the negative effect of dams on the Colorado is that there is hardly any water left by the time the Colorado River reaches its delta area in Mexico. This once productive habitat is now dying and even fish populations in the Gulf of California have likely been affected. \n\nThere are economic impacts caused by dams as well. If Mexico had populated the Colorado River delta area significantly before the water was diverted to US cities there would be significant economic impact there. As it is, the area will probably never develop economically. Other impacts have been on migratory species like salmon, and the inability of salmon to return upstream to reproduce has reduced the ability of fisherman to earn a living fishing for salmon. \n\nYet another negative impact of dams is not well appreciated by most who oppose dams. Dams will catch all the sediment that is carried by a river, and when the river gets to the ocean it will no longer be carrying its original sediment load. Coastal areas in Texas no longer have a steady supply of sand to the beaches that were once supplied by the many rivers along the Texas coast. Those beaches are eroding and houses near the beach are being destroyed partially due to the lack of sand supply to the beaches. Millions of dollars are spent trying to save coastal areas that might not be in danger if not for dams on rivers preventing the supply of new beach sand. \n\nThe answer is not an easy decision. There have been many benefits to dams, but many of the disadvantages are slowly becoming clear.

Start by watching Spanish programs on TV. Read the news on the Internet in Spanish (Google News USA in Spanish). Watch DVD's in Spanish subtitle or in Spanish with the spanish subtitles. And after all that, get a good book. Plan a vacation in Mexico or Spain in a family or online friend with any contact at all with the english language.


The statement is more to the opposite. U.S. citizens have a right to a public trial so that decisions are not made in secret. \n\nAt least part of the thought behind open procedings is to give public scrutiny to minimize misfeasance and malfeasance on the part of our legal process.\n\nFrom the Bill of Rights:\n"Amendment VI"\n"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and *public* trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense." (1)\n\nMaybe they're not speedy now, but as citizens it is in our interest to oppose any move that trials not be public.


graphic aids are great ways to get all students involved in a lesson.  People learn different ways, either they are visible, auditory, or kinestetic (hands on) learners.  With graphic aids, it helps attract and maintain interest of the visual and kinstetic learners while lecture maitains auditory learners attention.  \nThe best way to use them is as a supplement or support to your main idea.  For example, if you are doing a lesson on parts of a flower, talk about each part, gain interest and then show a graphic of the flower.\nI would also check out graphic oganizers, a way to organize lessons, notes, etc. for students.


You need to first of all take a deep breath and try to relax.\nIt can be really scary when someone you love is sick and on life support. Talk to your friends and family about how you feel. It is really important not to keep your feelings bottled up. If you have a religion or a belief in God you should pray about your feelings of being afraid. Sometimes when things are hard or scary or sad it is good to write down your feelings in a notebook or private place. It can make you feel better to get your feelings out in writing, especially if you don't feel like you have anyone to talk to. I can't tell you that everything is going to be ok. I wish I could. But sometimes things work out and people get better. Sometimes they don't and people we care about don't always get better. I will pray for your dad and I will pray for you. Good luck and best wishes.

NOVA: Do you think that backwards time travel will ever be possible?\n\n\nSagan: Such questions are purely a matter of evidence, and if the evidence is inconsistent or insufficient, then we withhold judgment until there is better evidence. Right now we're in one of those classic, wonderfully evocative moments in science when we don't know, when there are those on both sides of the debate, and when what is at stake is very mystifying and very profound. \n\nIf we could travel into the past, it's mind-boggling what would be possible. For one thing, history would become an experimental science, which it certainly isn't today. The possible insights into our own past and nature and origins would be dazzling. For another, we would be facing the deep paradoxes of interfering with the scheme of causality that has led to our own time and ourselves. I have no idea whether it's possible, but it's certainly worth exploring.\n\nNOVA: Would you like it to be possible?\n\n \nSagan: I have mixed feelings. The explorer and experimentalist in me would very much like it to be possible. But the idea that going into the past could wipe me out so that I would have never lived is somewhat disquieting.


these days i'm getting fatty.plz help me to reduse my wait?

I recently started a diet about four months ago & I have lost about 60lbs so far. I eat, count carbs & calories, only drink water, & exercise more (walk around the block, jog, sit ups, etc).

i need help, cuz ive tried everything,and dont know wut to do???

This is a hard question.  There really is no right or wrong answer.  Question for you:  Does this affect you in any way?  Maybe by steeping back and looking at the problem from afar you can see another solution.  You might need to report this to a higher authority, like child affairs.  This is a form of child neglect from her parents.  Or this is what it sounds like with the information you have supplied.  If child affairs gets involved your friend might be taken from her parents.  This will not make you very popular to your friend.  Take this into mind though.  Isn't it more important to have your friend’s life saved and out of harms way than to have her like you?  You may have to give her up as friend to save her.  Hard I know.  You seem like a good friend.  What ever you do remember you are a good person for wanting to help your friend.


women's rights in Saudi Arabia? Pls. speak in English?

So, what's the next? what are u more like to discuss about??\nmaybe about the driving licence right or what??

Of course this would depend on the parents but I am guessing here based on only children I know.

is it possible to have negative vapor pressure?

No, I dont think so.\n\nA liquids vapor pressure is the pressure being exerted on the liquid by its molecules in the vapor/gas phase.  If there are no molcules in the gas phase, there would be no vapor pressure, but I cannot think of a situation in which a substance would exert a negative pressure on itself.


how come it rains on one side of the road and not the other?

The rain has to start/stop somewhere. It just happens to have stopped, or started, in that spot.


I honestly don't care about what the women can and can not do in Saudi Arabia.  I think that more time, money and effort should be put forth fixing things that are wrong in America and stop focusing on other countries.

If we don't plan on modifying a search tree, and we know exactly how often each item will be accessed, we can construct an optimal binary search tree, which is a search tree where the average cost of looking up an item (the expected search cost) is minimized.\n\nAssume that we know the elements and that for each element, we know the proportion of future lookups which will be looking for that element. We can then use a dynamic programming solution, detailed in section 15.5 of Introduction to Algorithms, to construct the tree with the least possible expected search cost.\n\nEven if we only have estimates of the search costs, such a system can considerably speed up lookups on average. For example, if you have a BST of English words used in a spell checker, you might balance the tree based on word frequency in text corpuses, placing words like "the" near the root and words like "agerasia" near the leaves. Such a tree might be compared with Huffman trees, which similarly seek to place frequently-used items near the root in order to produce a dense information encoding; however, Huffman trees only store data elements in leaves.


It's just a bit show-off time and a reinforcement of the social hierachy that seems to perpetuate schools, elevating the 'jocks/class clowns' and 'slutty popular bimbos' and depreciating anyone not in the former two groups.\n\nHowever it is fuel for many crappy American teen films... which i take pleasure in ripping to shreds...

Can I take Ambien (Zolpidem) during flight journey to get some sleep? Any side effects? What Dosage?

You might find lots of people encouraging you take medicines like these during your travel either on sky, road or sea but honestly I think it is not right. Traveling these days are not safe and need to be cautious just in case if any un wanted events happens you can take some action. But, if you are in the effect of drug…….what can you do?\n\nThink…..do not get motivated by stupid answers on this forum.

should present day war events be televised?

The American people have a right to know what’s going on, but at the same time it makes it difficult for soldiers to do their jobs. War isn’t pretty, its down right horrible. So when civilians are faced with this harsh reality every day during their breakfast it creates a lot of opposition. Opposition translates into a lack of support for troops. its hard to do your job every day when your fellow countrymen don’t support you.

what kind of girl friend is best for becoming life partener?

One that is your friend, in a comfortable, non-pressured way, first.  A wife must also be a best friend and companion:  there is so much besides sex in a marriage.  Also, you want one you can respect and trust, one whose judgment is sound, intelligence is good, and heart is generous.  Don't discount practical competence in the routine matters of life, either:  cooking, balancing a check book, doing the laundry, having good taste in clothes and furnishings, etc.  You want one with a healthy body and a healthy emotional life, and you want one that loves you very deeply.  Don't hurry it!

which are the side effects of electroconvulsive therapy? are the irreversible?

Sorry to hear of your friends difficulties!  The opinions regarding ECT and its side effects are widly varied and often contested.  One side stating it as almost harmless and the other beleveing it is akin to torture.  Finding the truth can be hard and depends on the practioners and individual PT greatly.  Most will agree that ther will be some degree of memorey and even motor loss for a period of time. Just how much and how long are of great debate.  \n\nMost people suffer the greatest loss in the short term and as their brains "reorganize" over time memorey improves substantualy.  There may always be some amnesia surrounding the time of the treatments, but that is usually not of any significance in the long run.  Profound long term memorey or motor problems have been linked to improper aplication of ECT treatments, uncontrolled seazures during or post ECT leading to hypoxia or arrest, very long series of treatments or extended treatment cycles for unresponsive or  relapsing PTs, and other rare fators or occurances.  \n\nIf you friend continues to have prolonged difficulties or the symptoms increase, please incurage her to speak with her psychiatrist about the problem.  Even if it is something that is affecting her life greatly or a concern to her, she should bring the concerns up to her mental health provider.  There are many resources on the web to help both of you in dealing with  this problem.  Just google ECT side effects or other related topic and you will get lots of hits.  Just don't take any one as the absolute word on the matter, look around and decide for yourselves.\n\nGood luck to you and your friend!

Has anyone saw The Chronicles Of Narnia and what is your oppinion of the movie?

The Chronicles of Narnia movie was quite excellent in my opinion.  It kept fairly true to the story, though there were a couple of deviations as there are with any story that goes to the silver screen.  The animation was flawless and seamless and the story classic.  The actors also did a fantastic job portraying their parts.

How much equity do I give up to investors in my start-up?

By doing that you automatically give up control of the company since they own 62% of it, meaning they can fire you anytime they want. Be careful here, there are several books available for people starting their own companies, I would consult one before giving away this much equity in your new company.


how you gonna know if that man is really meant for you?

The only way to tell is time. Through talking and getting to know the other person is how you find out. If you share basic common values and goals, such as relatuonship goals, or future plans, then it probably is a good sign that he could be for you, otherwise if you don't share these, it could be rocky. Such as he never wants kids and you do. That is something that can never be overcome. Other than that, you just have to take the chance. That is what makes love fun and heartbreaking at the same time.


does someone ever say something you dont undersatand and you just pretend you do?

Yeah, there was once when I was talking to this guy and he was speaking Chinese to me (coz' I look like a bit of Chinese myself) but I on the other hand wasn't really good in Chinese, and didn't exactly understood everything that he was saying. The worst part was, I simply played along with it - nodding all the while at what he was saying about the stuff I was interested in buying.\n\nWhen I finally made my decision, he took out the merchandise and was at the counter when he told me the amount of money that I needed to pay. Suffice to say, I was clueless and I was like: "Huh?" He simply repeated it in Chinese again, until I finally said: "I'm sorry I don't understand Chinese." He then told me the amount... in English...\n\nI never went back to that shop again though. I guess I'm just too embarassed to go back there and pretend that I can speak really good Chinese... =p

How to get the ideal body and reducing the fat fastly?

you can try drinking green tea (the leaves kind, not the ones in tea bags). you can get them from korean or japanese stores.  drink about 2 glasses a day. hot tea.  they say green tea helps remove toxins in the body, and helps keep people slim.  You also have to control your eating. better to eat many times a day, small portions than 3 large meals.  Excercising helps, but if you dont control eating, excercise will have little effect on slimming.\n\nyou can start with this: for breakfast eat sandwich, usually 2 loaves of bread plus spam or whatever. Dont eat rice, coz it makes you eat more. Then eat normal lunch. Then for dinner if possible take vegetables.\n\nTake dinner early, around 630pm or 6pm if possible.  \n\nDrink lots of liquids to help give the stomack the "full" feeling.


Iron is the equivalent of the Western 'knocking on wood'. Any Italian who feels that they may have received bad luck from a passing nun will reach to touch a piece of iron. If a cat sneezes, of whatever colour, it brings good luck to all who hear it. To be able to tell if your good luck strategies have worked, hot oil was dropped into a bowl of simple water. Some believe that if the oil stays in one place it is good, but if it spreads out, the bad luck is still with the person. However, others believe that if the oil stays in one blob, this represents the maccio.\n\nWhen a person died, Italians would place salt beneath their head, and their personal artefacts within the coffin next to them. If the items are left out, or one is forgotten, they must be placed in the next coffin of a person the original deceased, and it is assumed that they would meet in the hereafter. In present day, newly wedded couple will smash a plate or a vase into pieces, by dropping it on the floor. The number of pieces it breaks into symbolises the years of happy marriage the couple will have.

I'm studying Photetics and trying to find the phoetic pattern for past tense.  When is it the D, T or eD sound

The pronunciation of the -ed or -d in the simple past and past participle of regular verbs depends on the final sound of the infinitive (notice I'm talking about "sound" not necessarily "letter").\n\nIf the final sound is either "t" or "d", then you read the final -(e)d as /id/: wait- waited /weitid/, invite - invited /invaitid/, add - added /adid/\n\nThe pronunciation is as /t/ if the final sound is any of the following: /p/, /k/, /ch/, /sh/, /s/, /f/ or /th (as in "think", not as in "they"). This is because all of these sounds are "voiceless" (i.e.: pronounced without vibration of the vocal chords) so you need another "voiceless" sound, as /t/. E.g.: look - looked /lukt/, pass- passed /past/...\n\nFor all of the other final sounds, you don't pronounce the "e" and you do pronounce the "d". This is because all of the remaining sounds are "voiced" (i.e.: pronounced by making the vocal chords vibrate) so you need another "voiced" sound, as /d/. E.g.: live - lived /livd/, seem - seemed /si:md/...\n\nThe same principle (or actually very similar) applies for the pronunciation of the final -s in plural and 3rd person verbs. /z/ for voiced endings, /s/ for voiceless endings, and /iz/ for words ending in /s/ or /z/ (or also /sh/ or /j/).

Is there a software to periodically refresh a webpage and provide me an alarm when a specific keyword appears?

Might help if you can explain what it is you're doing a little.  But, I'd just use the Ctrl+F and type in the keyword and search that way.  Also, you may try researching assistive devices and software used by blind or other disabled peoples that has the ability to 'read' text.  Or find someone to write a macro that uses Ctrl+F and calls and runs a .wav file when it returns a positive hit and then make the program loop after the refresh program runs (it would execute itself automatically after each time a page refreshes).  Hmmm... I'm not a great programmer (it takes me a really long time and I usually just use VBScript).  Sorry I can't give you code, but the idea there is sound.


What is the difference between the Ex-dividend date and the Dividend date with stocks?

When a stock goes "ex Dividend" it means that it "excludes" the dividend entitlement.\n\nYou must have bought the stock on the trading day BEFORE the ex dividend date to receive the dividend.\n\nThere are other dividend dates (such as payable date - which is when you get paid the dividend) and also the record date (which is the date by which you need to be on the reigster of shareholders).  \n\nIf you buy before the ex date, you'll be on the register by the time the record date comes around.  The record date is more of a "back office" administrative date that shareholders need not worry about.

It's something everyone should be screened for."\nEveryone 25 and older, every 3 years.\n\n    Number 3:  Blood Pressure.: Left untreated, high blood pressure kills your heart, your brain, your eyes and your kidneys. the symptoms? no symptoms.\n   (Dr. Chen) "Occasionally they'll have chest pains or headache or blurred vision, but most people have no symptoms at all."\n\n    Number 2: Cholesterol.\n   (Dr. Chen) "If it comes back normal we usually follow that up just once a year- if it comes back abnormal, obviously we'll need to do something about that so we'll follow it a little more frequently."\nA complete screening test measures hdl- the good cholesterol,  ldl-the bad cholesterol, and triglycerides.\n\n    Number 1:  Colonoscopy.\n(Dr. Chen) "We usually start at age 50 unless someone has a family history of colon cancer, in which case we start 10 years before the first person in that family was diagnosed with colon cancer."\n  \n   Colonoscopy detects polyps, which can be monitored and removed before the cancer has a chance to spread. this one is a must.\n   It's important to point out that a couple of essential tests are gender specific:\n   Women need to check their breasts monthly and have regular mammograms. Also, have a thyroid hormone test as recommended .\n    Men need to get prostate exams starting at age 50. That's the PSA blood test and a rectal exam.


Sometime when I take baths i get a yeast infection, a month later...?

If you are prone to yeast infections you could take acidophilus.  It is just a vitamin.  It helps you keep the level of good bacteria up.  Never douche.  I was getting a mild yeast infection about every month....I figured it was partially to do with timing & hormones but also I was over cleaning myself.  I started using baby wash for personal cleansing and if I feel like a yeast infection is coming on I take some acidophilus until I feel better.  Use baby products for your bubbles instead.

Why are cold ocean waters more "nutrient-rich" than tropical waters?

It’s fairly complicated, but in simple terms it’s because warm water rises and cold water sinks.\n\nThe problem with nutrients in the ocean is that they are accumulated in the bodies of living things, and living things are solid, and solid objects tend to sink. A fish carcasse or a plankton carcasse might gloat for  a few hours or a few days, but then it sinks.  And it sinks straight to the bottom of the ocean, carrying all the nutrients it concentrated in its lifetime with it.\n\nAs a result upper level ocean waters tend to become nutrient depleted very quickly. Even if I spray fertiliser on the ocean to increase the nutrient levels I will only get a brief bloom of life, and then it will die… and sink straight to the bottom. Dead things like logs or wildebeest lie around on the surface on the land, and so the nutrient they accumulated can be released by decay and used all over again by other lifeforms. So you get localised nutrient cycling on the land. Living things in the ocean sink, so any nutrient added only lasts a few generations at best, then it is lost. It can’t be locally cycled.\n\nSo for an area of ocean to remain productive it needs to have a constant source of nutrients added to replace all those nutrients that are being lost as the sink into the depths.  That addition can come from rivers on a very localised scale, but for large scale work those nutrients can only come from one place, and that is the same place they escaped to in the first place: the nutrients have to come from the ocean depths.\n\nThe only way to drag up nutrients form the ocean depths is to have water rising form the ocean depths, right? Make sense? Water on the equator is already warm, and warm water floats on the surface. You can’t get the cold nutrient rich waters form the depth to the surface if the surface water is already warm.  But if the water is colder than the deep ocean water, then the deep water will rise like a bubble, bringing all those nutrients form the depths right to the surface.\n\nThis is most apparent in the arctic and antarctic spring. The sudden melt of ice causes the temperature of the liquid ocean to fall, not just because melted ice is cold but because the ice acted as a blanket all winter, and now it’s gone. The ocean surface becomes notably colder than the ocean depths. The surface water cascades down through the ocean like a submarine waterfall, and the deep nutrient rich waters rise like smoke form a fire, bringing nutrients with them. This is accompanied by a massive bloom in algae and is followed by a massive bloom in zooplankton feeding on it. And following the zooplankton come the plankton feeders: the fish, the whales and the seals. The productivity of the arctic and antarctic ocean in spring is as high as anywhere on earth despite the low temperatures. And it supports the largest animals that have ever lived.


If you are already pregnant, and your boyfriend is abusive, should you have the baby or better not?

Wow, nothing like a man screaming at you about how evil you are for wanting to avoid abusive men....\n\nMeanwhile, you don't say how far along in your preganancy and all that you are.  Clearly you have to leave the man. If you feel that he'll pursue you and it will be an ongoing nightmare, and if you are in the first trimester (miscarriages happen), I think you should seriously consider the impact that having sole responsibility for a child in a dangerous circumstance will have on you.\n\nIf you're averse to abortion and could "go away" and live elsewhere until the pregnancy is over, you could give the baby up for adoption (and the baby will be adopted so long as it's healthy and of a desired racial background - but it's not a positive thing otherwise).\n\nIt sounds to me like you've made the decision and are asking for support.  The answer is that throughout history women have had to manage their own bodies, and this is yet another case of it.  Have the abortion if you feel it's YOUR best option.  The baby doesn't actually exist yet.\n\nPeople do realize that women with access to good medical care still die in childbirth and from pregnancy-related complications, right?
