My opinion on each version:\n\nWin95\npros: the most fastest version when boot up, for sure.\ncons: the most "uncomplete" Windows overall. Even the newest DirectX title doesn't support it anymore.\n\nWin98\npros: the most popular version because of it's huge improved user interface and accessibility than Win95.\ncons: the most unstable version when it comes to handle the memory, even worse than Win95. In Win98, after you run so many program and closes it, Win98 can't release it properly, leaving the system slower and slower over time if you don't restart it.\n\nWinNT\npros: specially made for server job. has a better memory handling than Win98.\ncons: still it's just a replicant of Win98. even worse, many new games won't run on it.\n\nWinME\npros: well... I don't really sure because I haven't used this yet, but from the thing I heard, the pros it... nothing.\ncons: another unstable version of Windows. Why? Because it's the first version of Windows that doesn't run "in top of DOS", but has it's "own" OS.\n\nWin2k\npros: another NT version of Windows, which means it prior in terms of stable. the task manager is also improved and much more powerful than before. That's why this version of windows started to stable, because everytime there is a program crash or not responding, nearly 100% can be shutted down by the Task Manager.\ncons: it takes AGES to install, to boot up, and to sign in. Thank God it doesn't take ages to shutdown... on it's earlier version, it does suffer from the same error as WinNT: can't run many new games. You must install service pack 3 or 4 in order to get the full advantage.\n\nWinXP\npros: the most stable version of Windows, when compared to the previous. it also has a nice new brand looking theme. also, it doesn't take ages now to boot up (on fresh install, it's only takes 1 - 2 bar loading, like 2 - 3 seconds).\ncons: requires much larger memory than it's predecessor, like min 128 MB...\n\nWin2k3\npros: has the NT property - which means the stable and the security, and has the XP look. So this one is slightly better than XP. Now it's even harder to attack server which runs with Win2k3.\ncons: but it also takes more time to boot up, which means it can't run program as fast as XP. But the difference won't be noticed on a fast processor. also requires more memory min 256 MB.\n\nWinVI [Windows Vista]\npros: this version of windows hasn't come out yet. But it looks like that this WinVI is going to succeeded WinXP, not WinNT. So in short, WinVI is targetted as home entertainment use, not for server like Win2k3. the MS claims that WinVI will respond ever better, so that will overrun WinXP. Also, WinVI will have a brand new look, a purplish rather violet color.\ncons: the system requirement here is also a lot much more. now, it's not only processor requirement here, but it's also graphical requirement here, if you want to take the best of WinVI's user interface out to your desktop monitor. it does give the chills... isn't it...\n\nso technically, if you ask me the best Windows version ever in terms of user interface, it's the WinVI. In terms of security, it's the Win2k3 and WinVI is in even (the Microsoft Anti Spyware is built-in for WinVI). But in OVERALL, I think the winner still be hold by WinXP because I can't imagine how expensive your computer will be if you're using WinVI... and I'm just afraid that WinVI run very slow, or even can't run on slow machines, while the WinXP can.

how should we teach children who are bilingual?

I believe all should be done.  We are in a bilingual community, and I work with children, one of which is in Kindergarten right now.  They are taught to read in english in kindergarten, and to write so that they get the basics in their own language.  They are taught how to interact with each other, respect each other, share, and so on, and are still given lots of time to play.  Children are such sponges at this age for information, that I think it's great when they can be taught as much as they can.  In grade one they can take on French only classes for the rest of their school years {except for one English class a day}.  During this time they do all their classes in French, which is our second language, and learn all their subjects in French.  No English is allowed to be taught in the classrooms after the first few months of grade one.  By the time they graduate, even slow learners are bilingual.  Most are able to speak the language quite frequently by grad 6 or 8, but are completely bilingual by graduation.  I hope this helps.

Which of these 3 acoustic guitars would you choose? And why?

I would choose the Washburn, but I have to admit, it's only cause that's the type I have and I love it.  I have owned a couple of Epiphones, and have always had problems with them.  I have never played a Yamaha, but I have heard about them from other players...some good, but mostly bad.  I do agree that the coloring is the best on the Yamaha, though.


evaluate the credibility of the following list of sources: news paper, magazine, tv programs,movies, tv news,?

my opinion is that the local tv news is probably the most educated and adheres to the facts.  I mean, they'd about have to be less biased than the other mediums.  They are about immediate gratification, really.  Magazines, well, they take many liberties, because they can be fiction, as well.  Their articles require facts and referrences, but when was the last time you saw a retraction of a story or a correction in a magazine?  As far as tv programs and movies, their job is to entertain rather than inform, so they don't really fall into newsworthy--controversial, or brainwashing, perhaps, but not really in the same sphere as the others.  The internet?  Well, it is largely becoming the largest reference manual in the world, but there is fact as well as fiction, as we all encounter.  You can find anything about any subject and cross reference a hundred facts, any facts you want to glean are there for the taking.  as for this, take it for what you will

You know, you really should talk to him more about who he really likes. Just casually. If you're best friends you should be able to talk about things like that. Maybe he likes you too, but he's too afraid to tell you. And he might think that you might suspect him of it if he gives you a valentine. One day, you're going to have to pop up the answer that you do like him. So, think about the right time you can say those words.


how can taking care of the elderly have a positive effect on the community ?

I know this will seem cold, but each person living generates a positive economic effect on their community.  The dollars put into motion either directly by their expenditures or indirectly by others on their behalf generate an endless chain of monetary transfers to others in the community.  When they pass away there is one last major surge of income into the community via funeral, legal and family expenses then its over for them and continues for those who received income from their life.  Besides that, it's the civilized thing to do for people who have given their best and it makes better people of us.

What is a staph infection?  how do you get it? how serious is it?????

What is staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome?\nStaphylococcal scalded skin syndrome is a response to a staphylococcal infection and is characterized by peeling skin. The disease mostly affects infants, young children, and individuals with a depressed immune system or renal insufficiency. The disease can be life threatening.\nWhat are the symptoms of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome?\nThe following are the most common symptoms of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome. However, each child experiences symptoms differently. The disease usually begins with a fever and redness of the skin. Then, a fluid-filled blister may form. This blister ruptures very easily, leaving an area of moist skin. Other symptoms may include the following:\n\n    * crusted infection site, often around the nose or ears\n    * red, painful areas around infection site\n    * blistering\n    * fevers\n    * chills\n    * weakness\n    * fluid loss\n    * top layer of skin begins peeling off in sheets\n\nAfter the top layer of skin has peeled off, the following symptoms may be present:\n\n    * fevers\n    * chills\n    * weakness\n    * fluid loss\n\nIn newborns, the lesions are often found in the diaper area or around the umbilical cord. Older children more commonly have the lesions on their arms, legs, and trunk.\n\nThe symptoms of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome may resemble other skin conditions. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.\nHow is staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome diagnosed?\nIn addition to a medical history and physical examination of your child, the diagnosis may be confirmed with a biopsy (taking a tissue sample to be examined under a microscope) and bacterial cuture.\nTreatment for staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome:\nTreatment usually requires hospitalization, often in the burn unit of the hospital. Specific treatment for staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome will be determined by your child's physician based on:\n\n    * your child's age, overall health, and medical history\n    * severity of the condition\n    * your child's tolerance of specific medications, procedures, or therapies\n    * expectations for the course of the condition\n    * your opinion or preference\n\nTreatment may include one, or both, of the following:\n\n    * oral antibiotics\n    * intravenous (IV), penicillin-type antibiotics

Why do Q-tip boxes say do not insert in ear canal??

Well.... if you insert a Q-Tip too deeply you risk injuring the tympanic membrane or ‘eardrum’, and deeper than that, in the inner ear, there are some little tiny bones (anvil,stirrup ect.) and these are very delicate, if you were to insert the Q-Tip and injure these, you'll be in for a painful day. Also Q-Tips Co (and quite a few other swab makers) has had plenty of legal trouble in the past due to injuries caused by the product. So to "cover their behinds" they put the warning label.

Which of the US States are designated "Community Property States?"?

Holding title to real property as Community Property is a type of ownership available to married couples only. There are currently nine states which offer Community Property status. These states are: Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. The "marital property act" defined Wisconsin as a community-property state, but individual circumstances will dictate how this act is interpreted. \n\nThe property laws in these nine states look at property purchased during a marriage as community property and both husband and wife have an equal right to possess the property during their marriage. In some states, upon the death of either spouse, the surviving spouse automatically receive half of the community property. With community property, neither spouse may sell his or her own share. To transfer the property to someone else, both husband and wife must sign the deed. When one spouse dies and leaves no will, the surviving spouse may acquire the property, but unlike joint tenancy, either spouse may will his half interest to others if he or she so chooses. \n\nCommunity property laws may become complex, especially when dividing up assets upon a dissolution of the marriage. You may have heard of the divorced couple in which the ex husband filed for his share of the proceeds of the lottery winnings of his former wife. Apparently, his wife had won the lottery, while they were still married, and failed to tell her husband of her winnings. They then divorced and the wife did not reveal these lottery winnings as assets at the time of the dissolution. The husband found out some time later, filed for his share in court, and was awarded the full amount of the lottery money. This occurred in a Community Property state, where all assets of a married couple acquired during the marriage are considered "community property." If you have any doubts as to Community Property law in your state, you may want to consult with an attorney, to be certain what the implications are of holding title as community property.

For those that demonize big corporations, are you happy when you hear about corporate downsizing?

The so called corporate downsizing is a normal cycle for some businesses.  As with most things as corporations evolve they pick up extra assets that at some point have to be done away with or the corporation will not be able to compete.  These parts of corporations that are done away with are not lost, often they are picked up by other companies which restructure them into viable, productive entities that can compete with other companies.  Even those assets that are salvaged out are not lost in that the funds are reinvested into the primary corporation to make the better at competing.  These efforts make the jobs remaining better and more solid.

if i finish paying off all my 7 credit cards ans cancell my accounts will it affect my credit?

Don't cancel your accounts.  Keep them open but don't rack the bills up any more.  If you cancel your cards - what you will be doing is cutting off your credit history.  This will NOT help your credit.  It WILL hurt it.  Paying the cards up will help your score!! this is the best thing you should do. then don't use the cards anymore unless you know that you can pay the balance off in full at the end of the month when that bill comes.  \n\nIf you feel that you must close out at some of your accounts - don't close them all... Keep at least 3 or 4 of your best cards - these would be major cards like visa, mastercard, or discover etc...  Then also the main thing is that they are free (don't charge you a membership fee each year)  Keep them open for the rest of your life it will show that you have credit but can be trusted not to run it up all the time.  \n\nGood luck.:)

STROKE PATH TO HIT A SLICE GROUNDSTROKE - - - What direction?

I usually always start with my racket somewhat high on most every backswing.  IF I am playing a driving slice shot that I want to stay low, I have a more level swing.  If I want a sharp bite to the side with more angled spin I have a little more of a high to low swing.  To me its about getting more of the racket face through the stroke than it is about swing path.  I like to keep the racket face more level providing a more solid feel to the shot, rather than a more open face where the ball tends to float and sit up.

The English Origins: There was a noble origin to the water closet in its earliest days. Sir John Harrington, godson to Queen Elizabeth, set about making a "necessary" for his godmother and himself in 1596. A rather accomplished inventor, Harrington ended his career with this invention, for he was ridiculed by his peers for this absurd device. He never built another one, though he and his godmother both used theirs. Two hundred years passed before another tinker, Alexander Cummings,\nwould reinvent Harrington's water closet. Cummings invented the Strap,\na sliding valve between the bowl and the trap. It was the first of its kind.\nHowever, it didn't take long for others to follow Cummings lead.\nTwo years later in 1777, Samuel Prosser applied for and received a patent\nfor a plunger closet. On his heels came Joseph Bramah, only one year later.\nHis closet had a valve at the bottom of the bowl that worked on a hinge,\na predecessor to the modern ballcock. Himself a bit of a sailor, Bramah's\ncloset was used extensively on ships and boats of the era. The master toilet maker among the Englishmen would emerge in the next decade. Thomas Twyford revolutionized the water closet business in 1885 when he built the first trapless toilet in a one-piece, all china design. A preeminent potter, Twyford competed against other notable business including Wedgwood and Moulton.\n\nTwyford's design was unique in that it was of china, rather than the more common metal and wood contraptions. The internal workings of his water closet were the work of one the first pioneers of the "sanitary science." J. G. Jennings patented a washout closet in 1852. This unit had a shallow basin with a dished tray and water seal. The flush water drove the contents into the pan and then through the S-trap.

What is everyone's opinion about U.S. seaports management being taken over by a United Arab Emirates company?

Since we could never afford to inspect more than 5% of all inbound cargo what does it matter who schedules and unloads the shipments? Yes, I think its probably fine for the UAE to operate the 21 ports. We should NEVER reliquish security, and in fact we should step up investigations of new port workers.

What is the best way to sell my house online?

It depends on where you live. If you live in a city that has a subdivision of "Craigslist", which in NY is newyork.craigslist.com (check www.craigslist.com ) and then go to the rightside of that main page to see if your city is listed. If so, click on that city, and then enter in your listing under "homes for sale".\n\nPut in as much information as you can. Put in pictures on the ad. Have an open house on a sunday from say 1:00 - 2:30 PM. Make sure you get everyone's phone # and e-mail address before they leave your home! Make sure you find out what the buyer wants before they come to your home! If they're looking for a 3-bedroom thats 1200 square feet and a 2-car garage, and you have a 4-bedroom that is 1500 square feet, with no garage, tell them this, so that you won't waste you rtime and theirs.\n\nTo get a price in mind to sell your home at, go to www.realtor.com and enter in your city's info, and search for similar homes.  Price your home accordingly.\n\nWhen you get offers, find out what % they can put down, when they can close, and how much they make, and where they live now and how much they pay.\n\nConsider all offers, because someone that offers less than you're looking for, but can put down 20% is much more likely to get a loan than someone that offers a higher price but can only put down 3% or so.\n\nAfter you get that all set, or even before, look for an attorney to do the paperwork for you. Very simple. So, you do NOT need a realtor to help you!! I've sold 2 of my homes this way, and saved obviously a bundle. \n\nGood luck!

Kindly assist with names & email addresses of car care product manufacturers?

The best place to go is Thomas Register, which is the most comprehensive resource for finding information on suppliers of industrial products and services in North America. Do a search for the type of products you need, and the results include contact information of manufacturers, their website addresses (if any), and brief description of the company. I suggest that you specify more clearly what you want as "car care products" can mean anything from "car detergent wash" to "car cleaners"\n\nhttp://www.thomasnet.com/\n\nThen contact the company you are interested in representing, and ask them for their guidelines and processes in choosing foreign representatives.


A non profit organization has internet computers for clients. What are legal requrements regarding them.?

I can't imagine there is anything specific regarding a non-profit supplying internet access. If children have access or can see the screens then filtering software would seem prudent. It would also be obvious that you should not create an unsafe enviroment with the equipment such as exposed wiring, cracked monitors, and other safety hazards. I know that the Salvation Army in our town provides free internet access to clients.

what is the formula of gravitational energy & magnetic energy   how do u proove it?

In order to move a mass in agravitational field work must be done . If moved against gravitational field , work must be done to overcome the gravitational attraction . If moved in direction of the field work is done by the field  itself .\n So gravitational potential at a point in a gravitational field is defined as the work done in moving a unit mass from inbfinity to that point . We consider infinity to be that point where gravitational field is assumed to be zero .\nLet point mass m be placed at certain point and let a unit mass at another point at distance r from it then we have the gravitational attraction given by GM/Square r towards that point .\nIf the unit mass is moved from first location to another point against the force of attraction the work done against attraction is = Gm/Square rdr \nSo the work done in moving mass from first location to infinity is the integration from r to infinity Gm/squre r dr this integration is Gm/r \nSo work done by the field (attraction) in moving from infinity to point location is -Gm/r . So gravuitational potential V at a distance r from a point mass is given by the relation \n        V=-Gm/r\nThe work evolved in bringing a body from infinity to a point in a gravitational field ( or other body ) is called gravitational potenial energy of the body at that point . So bt defination , we have the work done in bringing a body of mass m from infinity to a point at a distance r ( in this case r is the radius of earth) given by \n              U=-GMm/r  where M is the mass of earth  and negative sign idicates that work has been got from the gravitational force . So the potential at infinity is zero and also the gravitational work done is independent of the actual path connecting the points.\n\nThe existance of magnetic field inside material due passing the electric current produce energy proportional to the square of field and the permeability the details found in the refrences.

During the 1970's, most Nike shoes were made in South Korea and Taiwan. When workers there gained new freedom to organize\nand wages began to rise, Nike looked for "greener pastures." It found them in Indonesia, China, and most recently\nVietnam--countries where protective labor laws are poorly enforced and cheap labor is abundant. Also in China and Vietnam, the law prohibits workers from forming independent trade unions. This was also true in Indonesia until 1998, when dictator General Suharto was overthrown. These three countries continue to be the major places where Nike shoes are made.\n\nTaken from:\nhttp://www.globalexchange.org/campaigns/sweatshops/nike/faq.html\n\nNike has been accused of using child labor in the production of its soccer balls in Pakistan. This case study will examine the claims and describe the industry and its impact on laborers and their working conditions. While Pakistan has laws against child labor and slavery, the government has taken very little action to combat it. Only a boycott by the United States and other nations will have any impact on slavery and child-based industries. Futhermore the U.S constitution states that child labor is an illegal and inhumane practice and any U.S. company found guilty practicing and encouraging it will be prosecuted.GATT and WTO prohibits member nations, like the United States, from discriminating against the importation of goods made by children.

Thomas A. Edison's forebears lived in New Jersey until their loyalty to the British crown during the American Revolution drove them to Nova Scotia, Canada. From there, later generations relocated to Ontario and fought the Americans in the War of 1812. Edison's mother, Nancy Elliott, was originally from New York until her family moved to Vienna, Canada, where she met Sam Edison, Jr., whom she later married. When Sam became involved in an unsuccessful insurrection in Ontario in the 1830s, he was forced to flee to the United States and in 1839 they made their home in Milan, Ohio.\n\nThomas Alva Edison was born to Sam and Nancy on February 11, 1847, in Milan, Ohio. Known as "Al" in his youth, Edison was the youngest of seven children, four of whom survived to adulthood. Edison tended to be in poor health when young.\n\nTo seek a better fortune, Sam Edison moved the family to Port Huron, Michigan, in 1854, where he worked in the lumber business.\n\nEdison was a poor student. When a schoolmaster called Edison "addled," his furious mother took him out of the school and proceeded to teach him at home. Edison said many years later, "My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of me, and I felt I had some one to live for, some one I must not disappoint."(1) At an early age, he showed a fascination for mechanical things and for chemical experiments.\n\nIn 1859, Edison took a job selling newspapers and candy on the Grand Trunk Railroad to Detroit. In the baggage car, he set up a laboratory for his chemistry experiments and a printing press, where he started the Grand Trunk Herald, the first newspaper published on a train. An accidental fire forced him to stop his experiments on board.\n\nAround the age of twelve, Edison lost almost all his hearing. There are several theories as to what caused his hearing loss. Some attribute it to the aftereffects of scarlet fever which he had as a child. Others blame it on a conductor boxing his ears after Edison caused a fire in the baggage car, an incident which Edison claimed never happened. Edison himself blamed it on an incident in which he was grabbed by his ears and lifted to a train. He did not let his disability discourage him, however, and often treated it as an asset, since it made it easier for him to concentrate on his experiments and research. Undoubtedly, though, his deafness made him more solitary and shy in dealings with others.

When US citkzens call themselves American. do you realize that you are not the only Ameericans?

yes, I am certainly aware of this.  North America has 3 countries, Central America has 7 or 8 (I forget) and South America has a lot (sorry, I don't know that either).\n\nI think it all started when we called ourselves The United States of America.  We were already refered to as "The Americans" in England (since England owned the Colonies and Canada I guess it was a natural thing to do when refering to the far away place.  We still do it today when we speak of African or Asian people).\n\nIt isn't so much of a stereotype as it is a missuse of words.

< The Great Depression was a massive global economic recession (or "depression") that ran from 1929 to 1941. It led to massive bank failures, high unemployment, as well as dramatic drops in GDP, industrial production, stock market share prices and virtually every other measure of economic growth. It bottomed out in 1933, but it would be well after World War II before such indicators as industrial production, share prices and global GDP could surpass their 1929 levels.

What exacty is Scientology? Why a lot of actors and actresses are advocates?

Basically it's science fiction disguiesed as a religion.  What most people know of it is the book Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbards.  \nIn the late 1940s, L. Ron Hubbard—a former navy man and writer of western, romance, and science-fiction novels—focused his interest in the human condition into an academic paper called "Excalibur". The paper was later incorporated into his book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. Hubbard claimed that by using the techniques described in the book, a person could boost their intelligence, improve their health, and sharpen their memory to near infallibility. Upon its release, Dianetics launched to the top of the bestseller lists, but the effects of Hubbard’s techniques proved disappointing. According to a number of newspapers that covered Hubbard’s first demonstration, the person presented by the author as proof of his technique’s success could not even remember the colour of Hubbard’s tie. \n\nAlthough Dianetics was not the success Hubbard had hoped it would be, he went on to use its principles as the basis for Scientology. Members aim to achieve a state of "clarity" by undergoing "auditing" sessions whereby psychological traumas, either from this life or a past one—the Scientology term for them is an "engram"—are unearthed with the help of an auditor in an effort to cure afflictions of their reactive mind. The auditing sessions include the use of an E-meter (essentially a polygraph machine) that allows auditors to observe a person’s reaction to their questions, and pinpoint behavioral problems that need to be addressed. \n\nAccording to Hubbard’s own Dianetics, engrams can also be responsible for psychosomatically causing many types of physical illnesses, including cancer and some heart conditions. In the book, Hubbard estimates that nearly 70 per cent of the diseases treated by physicians are psychosomatic in origin. In tandem with auditing, Hubbard promoted a regimen of vitamins, exercise, and saunas. The process, which also includes consuming large amounts of niacin, a B-complex vitamin, is meant to remove long-stored toxins from the body’s fat cells. The regimen has been greeted with a great deal of skepticism in the scientific community: experts regularly state that its effectiveness has yet to be proven. \n\nScientology is taught through a series of tapes and lectures collectively called The Bridge, all written by Hubbard himself, whose writing is taken as scripture. The price of courses can vary depending on where they are purchased, but the Scientology website puts the cost of them in the tens of thousands of dollars. \n\nReverend Mann, who does media relations for the Church, is initially unable to quote the figures for courses in The Bridge. When phoned back, she offers the prices for three beginner courses, "Ups and Downs in Life", "Personal Values and Integrity", and "How to Improve Relationships with Others", each with costs of $60. I am never told the amount for the more advanced courses. \n\nReverend Mann does mention that the first six months of membership are free, while a yearly membership costs $200, and auditing costs $200 for a total of 12.5 hours of sessions. \n\nOnly a small pool of members in the religion’s upper echelons have completed The Bridge. Due to the quickly increasing cost of the courses, members are often encouraged to join the Church’s workforce as a means of earning enough to make payments. Those who decide to join the Church’s workforce sign "covenants"—contracts that commit employees to work for the Church from two to five years. \n\nA Time magazine cover article from 1991 titled "The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power" explained the Church’s interest in profit and brought Scientology’s validity as a religion into question. The article, written by a small team of journalists, contains quotes from former Scientologist Vicki Az

All in all it's a good movie and George is SO ADORABLE!


What football team will go to superbowl 41???? and why???

Well traditionally two football teams go to superbowls. I think it will be the Dallas Cowboys and the Denver Broncos. The Cowboys are just a few players short of being top tier. If they can pick up a few players where they have holes (like Jason Fabini and Adam Vinatieri) I'd chalk them up as the NFC title contenders. The Broncos were in the AFC championship last year, with Terrell Owens and two first round draft picks, I'd say they could be the best the the league.\n\n************\nNews to me, I don't know anything about football, and two AFC teams will make it to the superbowl.


Ludwig van Beethoven (baptized 17 December 1770 – 26 March 1827) was a German composer of classical music, who lived predominantly in Vienna, Austria. Beethoven is widely regarded as one of history's supreme composers, and he produced notable works even after losing his hearing. He was one of the greatest figures in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras in music. His reputation has inspired — and in many cases intimidated — composers, musicians, and audiences who were to come after him.\n\nAmong his most widely-recognized works are his Fifth, Sixth and Ninth symphonies (the latter containing the "Ode to Joy"); Piano Concerto No. 5 ("Emperor"); a Violin Concerto; the Pathétique, Moonlight and Appassionata piano sonatas; and the bagatelle Für Elise .\n\nBeethoven was born at 515 Bongasse, Bonn, Germany, to Johann van Beethoven (1740–1792), of Flemish origins; and Magdalena Keverich van Beethoven (1744–1787) of Slavic ancestry. Until relatively recently, many reference works showed 16 December as Beethoven's "date of birth", since he was baptized on 17 December and children at that time were generally baptized the day after their birth. However, modern scholarship does not make such assumptions.\n\nBeethoven's first music teacher was his father, a musician in the Electoral court at Bonn and an alcoholic who beat him and unsuccessfully attempted to exhibit him as a child prodigy like Mozart. However, others soon noticed Beethoven's talent. He was given instruction and employment by Christian Gottlob Neefe, as well as financial sponsorship by the Prince-Elector. Beethoven's mother died when he was 17, and for several years he was responsible for raising his two younger brothers.\n\nBeethoven moved to Vienna in 1792, where he intended to study with Joseph Haydn, but the old man had little time for teaching and he passed Beethoven onto Johann Albrechtsberger. He quickly established a reputation as a piano virtuoso, and more slowly, as a composer. He settled into the career pattern he would follow for the remainder of his life: rather than working for the church or a noble court (as most composers before him had done), he was a freelancer, supporting himself with public performances, sales of his works and stipends from members of the aristocracy who recognized his ability.\n\n \nBeethoven 1820 portraitBeethoven's career as a composer is usually divided into Early, Middle, and Late periods.\n\nIn the Early period, he is seen as emulating his great predecessors Haydn and Mozart while concurrently exploring new directions and gradually expanding the scope and ambition of his work. Some important pieces from the Early period are the first and second symphonies, the first six string quartets, the first two piano concertos, and the first twenty piano sonatas, including the famous Pathétique and Moonlight.\n\nThe Middle period began shortly after Beethoven's personal crisis centering around deafness. The period is noted for large-scale works expressing heroism and struggle; these include many of the most famous works of classical music. Middle period works include six symphonies (Nos. 3–8), the last three piano concertos, triple concerto and his only violin concerto, five string quartets (Nos. 7–11), the next seven piano sonatas including the Waldstein, and Appassionata, and his only opera, Fidelio.\n\nBeethoven's Late period began around 1816 and lasted until Beethoven died in 1827. The Late works are greatly admired for and characterized by their intellectual depth, intense and highly personal expression, and experimentation with forms (for example, the Quartet in C Sharp Minor has seven movements, while most famously his Ninth Symphony adds choral forces to the orchestra in the last movement). This period includes the Missa Solemnis, the last five string quartets and the last five piano sonatas.\n\nConsidering the depth and extent of

For those that think we shouldnt not be in Iraq, what would be your plan to get out?

It was necessary for us to create a stable govt. in Iraq to prevent it from becoming a host country for terrorism and to counter the very real threat they posed of producing WMDs.  (I feel we should have waited and taken on Iran or Syria first)\n\nBUT\n\nIt is apparent that democracy is beyond the capabilities of a factionalized and tribally minded Iraqi population.  Therefore, we should get out as soon as possible rather than continue this wastefull experiment in democracy.\n\nHOW we should do it is arguable.\nBut I suggest setting up a US friendly authoritarian government.  One that will have the determination to counter any insurgency using the most severe means.  Yes, I'm talking about a dictatorship.  This might offend some, but it is the only way to effectively govern a nation like Iraq.\n\nOur goal should be somewhat selfish.  We're trying to protect ourselves by establishing stability. We should do so in the way that's least harmful to us. \n\nIf you look at the alternative.  This idea really isnt' so bad:\nCivil war vs. our US led leadership OR\nIslamic dictatorship vs. US. led leadership.\n\nAlso, if you look at history, which was worse:\nShah of Iran or Ayatolah Komeni?\nBatista or Castro?\nChina before the revolution or China under Mao?\nCambodia before or after Pol Pot?\n\nSome countries are destined for dictatorship.  Those that are will be better off under our guiding hand.\n\nOf course this could not work over the long run.  We must have a strategy to totally exit from the region once it is stabilized.  Involvement in the mid-east does not work for us.  We must accept that fact.\n\n!!!---If I've answered your question.  Please remember to vote for my answer! ---!!!

Yes, By legal definition an assault is an act of attempting to hit someone. The battery is actually when it hits.


Why did MTV get rid of beavis and butthead?

The creators of that show moved on to bigger and better things a long, long time ago.  "King of the Hill" was their next creation, and the movie "Office Space" (hilarious) as well.  Now, Greg Daniels is exec producer of the NBC series "The Office" (based on the British show of the same name).\n\nKeep up!!!!


why are life insurance policies not cancellable by the insurer, although property insurance policies are?

There's two different bases for the insurance.\n\nLife insurance has an inevitability built in.  You are going to die someday for certain and as long as you pay premiums and materially mistate your health or fraudulently try to collect it will pay.  Life insurers (thorugh the use of wise actuarial tables) hope that enough people live long enough to grow enough capital to eventually pay off all their claims.\n\nProperty/Casualty insurance doesn't have the same inevitability built in but is supposed to protect your assets in the unlikely case that a claimable event happens.\nIf you have several claims in a close enough time period, you become too risky to continue to insure, thus the company will cancel ("nonrenew" in the biz) your policy.\n\nSo in life insurance they know you are going to die but just don't know when.\nIn property insurance you could conceivable pay premiums and never need to make a claim.

Yes, but you have a lot of work to overcome our initial superficial thoughts when we first meet you.  If you're an awesome guy, be confident, be outgoing and show the ladies that looks (or height) aren't the most important thing.

How can I obtain a birth certificate from Jamaica?

Do you mean you lost your own birth cert.which was issued by Jamica when you were born? If so, you should write to the Registry of Births in Jamaica. On the other hand if you want your child whom you are pregnant with to have a Jamaican birth certificate, then you should deliver your child there..


Any ideas on what to send my deployed husband for a care package?

It really depends on where he is...most of the bases over there have pretty much any thing you would need as far as supplies, food, etc..

who will win the forth coming election in tamil nadu?

It depends a lot on the alliance. Hopefully, MDMK (Vaiko) may play a vital role in deciding this. Similarly, DMDK (Vijayakanth) is also expected to split the votes. But, JJ(Amma) can win only if she is flexible enough (and give some respect and seats) to grasp the alliances and break the opponent integrity. Moreover, as now DMK is having 7 party alliance. So, now it is in better position to win the election. But anyway, we can expect the sudden turns in the forth comming election and it will be very interesting.


How come crooks think they will never get caught?

Either they've gotten away with it one or two times, which makes them feel infallible, or they are mentally unstable and don't have the same moral code as "normal" people and they don't think about consequences at all.


What is the importance of leasing office space and any information concerning leasing Office space is needed.?

You want to lease office space to appear more professional, as opposed to an ebay storefront only, for example, not something that inspires "realness" from potential customers.\n\nYou go to the trouble of leasing space you advertise and build a business over time. That would suck to get kicked out. You want to have a long lease and lots of options to stay there so you don't have to build a customer base anew.\n\nYou are given little leeway in the courts as opposed to a residential unit to get off the hook for breaking a lease. So you want the contract to have some sort of reasonable way out if you have to "go out of business" or move due to a declining customer base.\n\nThose last two paragraphs kind of contradict each other so you have to strike a happy balance for your particular business.\n\nMost leases have some sort of method for determining market rent each year (that will only go up or stay the same of course) so that a longer term lease makes the landlord happy. Then options to renew are sometimes a part of the mix to make the tenant happy.\n\nIf want to search more you will have to search from the two parties point of view. First pretend you are starting a business and need help with a lease. Second pretend you are a real estate investor and need help renting it out. That should give you more info than you found already.

what is meant by mutual funds? why people dont prefer to invest here rather in bank?

mutual fund, in finance, investment company or trust that has a very fluid capital stock. It is unique in that at any time it can sell or redeem any of its outstanding shares at net asset value (i.e., the price of a share equals total assets minus liabilities divided by the total number of shares). A mutual fund, also called an open-end investment company, owns the securities of several corporations and receives dividends on the shares that it holds. A closed-end investment company differs from an open-end company in that the number of shares is limited and the price of the shares may fluctuate above and below the net asset value. The earnings of a mutual fund are distributed to the holders of its shares. It is hoped that a loss on one holding will be made up by a gain on another. The holders of mutual-fund shares thus gain the advantage of diversification, which might ordinarily be beyond their means. Common mutual funds, which often provide skilled management for security holdings, include stock, bond, balanced, index, and money-market funds. Stock funds mainly invest in common shares, and bond funds in bonds; such funds may specialize in a particular category of stocks or bonds (such as Internet stocks or municipal bonds). A balanced fund might invest in preferred stocks and bonds in addition to common stocks. Index funds invest in a portfolio that mimics a given index, such as the stocks that make up the S&P 500. The forerunner of the modern mutual fund was established in Belgium in 1822, and the use of these closed-end investment companies soon spread to Great Britain and France. They became popular in the United States in the 1920s, but from the 1930s the open-end mutual fund became more popular. Mutual funds experienced a period of tremendous growth after World War II, especially in the 1980s and 90s.

does any one belive 9-11 could have been a conspericy ?  so that our govt could go to war over oil?

It is a widely held believe that Bush was pushing for the Iraq war well before 9-11. \n\nThe British are all over a story that has not touched down in the US. See link below.  Bush and Blair discussed painting US aircraft to look like UN planes and fly them over Iraq baiting Saddam to fire at them.\n\nBush was prepared to lie about this. Blair committed troops to Bush plans in January 2003 based on cheap stunts like that.\n\nThere are 100 other reasons to believe that Bush has a secret agenda, if you will a conspiracy.\n\nCheck Bush´s pal Scooter who was arrested for his actions to get us to war with Iraq.\n\nBTW, I dont remember a time when any vice-president has played as big a role as this executive of Haliburton.  By the way of the total dollars spent in Iraq how many have gone to Dick´s company?\n\nSorry that I don´t seem to have an opinion on this!!!

purchasing a panasonic dvd rec. will it be worth it?

Panasonic's a pretty good brand and will record to pretty much all DVD formats. You'll probably get a few blank DVD-RAM discs with the unit.\n\nI would recommend you go for a model with a hard drive as well. They're a little more expensive than those without, but what you would save by not getting a hard drive, you'd end up spending on blank discs in the first 12 to 18 months anyway. Just as long as you don't hoarde stuff on the hard drive, 80Gb should be more than enough.

Is anyone else sick and tired of Paris Hilton?

That's why I don't understand why we as a society pay entertainers sooooo much money.  I like movies, sports, and music as much as the next person. But COME ON we don't even pay the nurses who help save our lives or the teachers who teach our children to read and function in society a fraction of what our entertainers make.  I don't understand it.


Power plants produce a great deal of waste heat because no energy cycle can be 100% efficient.  Many plants can dump their heat to the ocean or a river but many that are not near large bodies of water dump the excess heat to the air using cooling towers.  Waste heat from the plant that may have resulted from steam condensation is circulated to the cooling tower using cooling water pumps and piping.  At the tower the water is sprayed into the air and evaporation cools any water not lost to the atmosphere.  The cooled water drops through wooden slats that mix it with air driven up by motor-operated fans and falls into a basin from which it can be pumped back into the plant to complete the cycle.  This is a relatively invironmentally friendly way to dispose of excess heat because discharge into a river or lake has been known to cause thermal polution and even fish kills.


how do you make agar at home? Science fair project!!!!?

HI\nYou should be able to make your own media at home.  Make sure that you keep\nthe petri dishes in their covering until just before you use them or they\ncan become contaminated.  You are right, the bouillon cubes won't "melt".\nYou can get some Knox brand gelatin from the store and make it kind of like\nyou would make jello for Finger Jell-O other words you want it a little\nstiffer than normal.  Follow the directions on the package but add perhaps a\nlittle less water.  Once you have boiled the water and added the gelatin, add\nsome beef bouillon to it and dissolve it.  This give the nutrients that the\nbacteria need.  Keep in mind, that this may not completely sterilize the\nmedia-there are bacteria that can survive boiling temperatures.  Pour a\nlittle into a petri dish and let it solidify.  This may take some trial and\nerror to get it the consistency that you want.  I am also thinking that if\nyou are testing the effect of boiling the water you may want to add a little\nof your specimen directly to the agar before it solidifies.  Then any\ncolonies which might be in the water specimen will be mixed directly in with\nthe agar.  You would then count the colonies after incubating.  You can\nincubate them at room temperature for 48-72 hours.  Since you are not\ncompletely sterilizing the agar itself you may be confused by any colonies\nthat grow-do they come from the agar itself or from the boiled water?  Unless\nyou can autoclave your media, it will be difficult to completely sterilize\nyour media.

What is special about carbon that we have chemistry of the carbon?

Mostly because of its sp3 hybridization - that is, the fact that 4 atoms or molecules can bond with great stability to the carbon atom. For example, methane (CH4) is the simplest of the carbon compounds. But now, replace any of those H's with almost any other kind of molecule and you get the meat & potatoes of what organic chemistry is all about.

What if you find out someone gave you a false name?

hey I can completely relate to this question!  I agree with another answerer in asking the question they posed- how long have you known her? My situation is very similar in fact I dont know if I really DO know her last name yet.  She had some real jerks in her life and to get away from them (one actually) she went thru a program and they got her a fake name- kinda like the witness protection program in a way.  It would be very hard for someone like this to trust us guys after all shed been thru. Just bear with her, and yes the lies may be defensive necessities for her.  If you are any kind of man that she would need, you will HAVE to give her time to trust you (thats what I am working on too right now with the girl of my dreams)- show her that she is worth the wait and that you are worth her trust.  You are lucky she is even OPEN to talking to ANY guys right now if her situation is anything like MY beautiful princess' situation is.  I will wait for her and be there for her because I do love her.  She may need you more than you know to help her heal from past experiences.

How long will it take for me to purchase a home after graduating from school need advice?

If you are going for a large home in a high priced market, you will probably have to wait longer than three years unless you are extremely aggressive to get your loan paid off first.\n\nYou might be able to improve the wait by looking to buy a small home in a moderate market. You can build up equity and turn around and sell it later for a bigger and better home that is more in line with your long term goals. Most real estate advisors suggest planning on a minumum two year stay in a home before equity begins to pull ahead of the costs you cannot recover (closing costs, inspection fees for insurance, etc). \n\nDo be wise in the selection of the home though. It is really easy to make a poor choice and end up with a home with a significant hidden structure issue or in a neighborhood that turns the corner and house values plumet. The costs of repair can actually set you so far back that it would have cost you less to have rented. If you decide to go for an older home (50 or more years), do have an electrician inspect the wiring before you buy. We asked all the right questions of the previous owner and he outright lied - We asked if the wiring was three wire and grounded. He told us yes. Once we moved in, though the outlets were three prong, only two kitchen outlets had a ground wire even present. This is a critical safty issue and many appliances will not function without it such as a surge suppression battery back up for a computer. My husband ended up rewiring the entire house. Once he got into the wiring, it was so poorly done he just scrapped everything. We were fortunate enough that he had the skills. We didn't have to pay anyone's time. But just the copper wire itself was over $600.\n\nOne good area to look to invest is on the outskirts of a rapidly growing city. Often what is a countryside purchase where it costs less to buy will soon be engulfed by a city's expansion and have an enormous increase in property value.\n\nOne last parting note, do check into government programs to assist first time home owners. You will never again be a first timer. Though your future potential income will be well above the typical candidate, these programs look at where you are now. Just starting out like you are, you will probably quilify for grants. The main disadvantage to trying to go through these programs, beside the paperwork and wait, is that your selection of homes will be smaller due to the many restrictions. Look into Fanny Mae (not sure if this is the spelling), HUD (risky neighborhoods to invest in. Be careful), ... There is another one but I can't remember the name of it. It is the best one too. Do a bit of internet research. I bet you will come across it.


How much gas is used by stock car and other types of racing? Does its use at all affect the US gas supply?

In stock car racing, we've been using 110 octane leaded fuel. Our guys have been buying it in 55 gallon drums for  $248.50, or about $4.50 a gallon, plus shipping to the track. \n\nNASCAR is now moving to an unleaded racing fuel.\n\nDepending on the track, NASCAR stock cars get between 4 and 6 mpg. Yeah, not great, I know. Still, we do have (as one friend put it) an interesting way of turning money into noise.\n\nThe impact racing has on the rest of the world's gas/oil is quite minimal in relation to the needs of the many, it's just higher-profile.

Do you think that Yahoo should have given over priveleged Search data to the US government? I know my answer.?

PEOPLE!!!\n\nOur government is NOT intrested on anyones search for a great chicken recepie or shopping or anything a law-abiding citizen searches for.  They are trying to protect us and are looking for terrorist acitivity!\n\nLet me re-phrase your question: Would you be angry if an attack occurred and the details could have led to the prevention if the government had looked at internet activity?\n\nYES!!........People would be whining about that.  So it is a "NO WIN" situation.  Our government is critized for doing and for not doing.  I for one am glad they decided to have people angry and trying to protect me and my family rather than accomodating whiners.  Besides, if you are doing nothing wrong, why do you care?  If I have private informaition that I do not want anyone to know about, rest assured, I will not post on yahoo or google..or any other internet source.\n\nBy the way, I don't think that an internet search is protected anyway.\n\nGood luck and take care.

Was getting involved in Iraq the best thing for America?

No. I think that the best thing for America would be to close our borders to illegal aliens, send the illegals that are already here back to the country of their origen, and to lower the marginal tax rate so that American business will be able to compete in the world market instead of sending our jobs abroad.

Do you think journals on all experiments be published?  Why? What if it gets in the wrong hands?

Good research which can survive the scrutiny of knowledgeable peers should be published. Why the scrutiny? SO that we do not get bogged down in mountains of poorly designed experiments, questionable data and misguided conclusions.  Of course, there is the chance that the reviewing peers may be personally overly critical of the work of a commpeting colleague, but good research will still win through. I, myself, had a reviewer sit on one of my manuscripts for 6 months until I compained to the publisher that unless a response came soon I would go to another peer-reviewed journal. Do not feel that the critical review is a personal attack. It is just how we keep the structure and integrity of science intact.

I'm told that this email id is "bouncing?" What does that mean, and more important, what should I do?

It either means that the mail id that you're sending the mail to does not exist or that the receiver's inbox is too full to accept any more mails. On a rare occassion, it could also mean that the server on the receiver side is down.\n\nAs for what you can do, check if the mail id to which you're sending the mail is correct or not. Most often, this is gonna solve the problem. If that's ok, and you doubt the servers, try resending the mail after a while and seeing the response.
