I'd like to join the Army in a combat position, but I was born w/out a right hand. Would they accept me?

Ok after reading the other responces i felt that i had to chime in.\n\nIf the army would take you for a combat arm position.\nI am afraid that they would not, But the army needs good americans for civilan positions. The postings a civie can have are alot of fun and help our soldiers in their fight. \n\nPostings are open all over the world.\n\nIf you look at www.cpol.army.mil it will show all of the open jobs with the army. If you would like to work for the government in an other capacity then check out www.usajobs.gov . \n\nAs far as the army screwing up your life i beg to differ.\n\nI am a vet. I work for the army. The army has given me everything good in my life. They got me off drugs and out of a voilent place in my life. They gave me pride and purpose. they gave me an idea of what i could be if i pushed myself. They showed me the world and paid me for it. They let me shoot stuff and basicly run around like life was a video game. They taught me to be safe and to look out for my buddy at all times. They gave me my brothers and sisters who are closer to me than family. They introduced me to my wonderful wife and have moved me to europe twice.\n\nI have to say that military service will give any young man or woman character and values that they need to truely grow up. \n\nIt's not just a job or an adventure but it is a family. Brothers and sisters in arms.\n\nIf this interests you then please check out the website. Call and talk to the recruiters and get your life started out right.

The moon was created when a planetesimal the size of mars smashed into the protoearth some 4,5 billion years ago. A portion of earths crust was cast out into an orbit around earth where if formed the moon. This is why the moon is lacking in heavier materials like iron while its composition is very similar to the rock that we find on Hawaii and Iceland. This theory also explains why the moon is almost completely void of volatiles like water, nitrogen and carbonaceous minerals.

I understand what you're saying, but you forgot one small thing:\n\nThe bowling ball has more mass, and therefore needs more pull to reach the same speed because of momentum. You know, it's harder to push a car than push a cup. The momentum pull and the pull of gravity completely cancel each other out, so all things fall at 9.81 m/s/s.

Do you believe in the loss of weight at the instant of death?

The doctor who performed the experiment back in the early 1900's found that result once, but he was never able to duplicate the results when he and other doctors tried it again.\n\nSince no one ever duplicated the results, we can assume that the original experiment was flawed in some way (maybe the scale they used was broken).\n\nEven though that 20 oz thing was proven wrong, some people still believe in it. If you look hard enough, you will still find people who believe that the Earth is flat.

If you are women , Will you choose this Jacket?

I like it. But I think the problem is that you are referring to it as a "jacket". It's really a Lounging Robe. I also thing if it is indeed Silk/Velvet the price is absolutely fair. Even at the original $99.00 price (retail) your basic comsumer would have no problem paying your asking price if you re-word the description so it becomes a steal at $99.00

Do you believe in poornam janam?? Re-Birth??

Nobody gave a concrete proof.\nMany scientists too agreed who made studies on it.\nLET US SEE LOGICALLY.\nScience says both energy and matter are neither created nor distroyed only they change the forms. Life is a form of energy which has a special capacity to work to attain something it desires to achieve. That means it will catch a new body to complete unfinished tasks.\nBhagavadgeetha ch.2. Verse 15, says.. "dEhinoosmin....." It means just like one attains youthhood from childhood and then the old age he attains another fresh body after death.\nch.2. V 22, says - The life force(energy) scraps the old or spoiled body and changes to a new one, similer to a living individual changing the old or unusable dress material to a new one.\nThere are long and appropriate answers to a few importent questions.\nWhat controls the next form of birth? (Short answer - The actions, Karma). Is an individual has the choice of next \nform of birth - Short answer Normally No. But Yes After the  MOKSHA (The deliverence). After Moksha one can choose the form and nature of his next body or birth).\nThe experience of this life will be passed on to the brain chip of next body just like an e-mail passing from one computer chip thru the WEB to another BRAND NEW COMPUTER, without any dependence of the computer where the mail is originally created. \nScientifically a freqency perfectly catches another similar frequency, and therefore we can select different channels in Radio and TV. Similarly the life energy will have a certain thought frequency depending on the previous body experience. Therefore it can select the parents of similar matching thought frequencies for its next birth. For example if some one behaves very cruelly like tiger and remains as criminal in the world, and if he never repents his cruel actions, his mind freqiency will match with that of a tiger. After leaving the present body that life energy may select a tiger as its mother because of well matching frequency available there!      \nEnough for now.

are there any sites where you can listen to a whole cd not just samples?

It depends on what CD.\n\nSometimes if you go to the band's website, they will have like a player, that will play a few whole songs. But, it is usually a select few.\n\nOr, you can just get the video, and minimize it. Then, you can listen to an entire song, so you don't have to watch the video.\n\nIn short, it really depends on what CD, and the band.\nOr, you can just buy the CD.

how can i -as a twelve year-old) change the law about voting? What could i do to get the government to listen?

The fight to change laws is a long one, although not an imposible one.\n\nOne of the main things you need is "stick-a-bility".  When children come up with ideas like yours, adults know that as you get loder, your ideas will most likely change.  For this reason, they tend to not take you too seriously, figuring that when you are older, you will change your mind.\n\nThe best way to counter this is to test your own resovle on the matter.\n\nBe patient, and realise that the best way to change this law is to work at itall the way through till you are old enough to vote.  Then keep on going...choose career paths or other pastimes that get you the "ears" of people in power.\n\nOver time, if you stick at it, as an adult, you may be able to change perminantly the rights of children in the future.\n\nIt is always a long haul, but many have done it before you.\n\nGood Luck

how do you characterize American advertisements as compared to other countries?

American advertisements can directly name their competitors, even showing their competitors in the ad and how superior their product is compared to their competitor.\n\nIn the Philippines, for example, it is against media regulations to directly show competitors in the ad. So you get ads like TIDE is better than "BRAND X" and "BRAND Y" -- and never naming what those brands X and Y are


express 2/5 as a fraction and please explain?

Well, 2/5 is already a fraction.  It is a "rational fraction," which means that it is expressed as a ratio, i.e. one number divided by another.\n\nYou can also express it as a decimal fraction.  Divide 5 into 2 by the usual means you do division and you will find that 2/5 = 0.4.\n\nYou can also express it as a percentage.  Just multiply the decimal fraction by 100: 0.4 x 100 = 40%.

What do methane, ethane, propane, and butane have in common at room temperature that differ with pentane,hexan

They're gases (although butane forms a liquid under a little pressure) and the rest are liquids, at room temperature. Pentane is highly volatile, though.


It depends on exactly what type of cold it is. A runny nose, pressure on the face, no aches = sudafed or maybe claritin(maybe allergies, not a cold) \nAll of the above + aches = tylenol cold & flu\nStopped up nose = benadryl or other anithistimine\nLike I said - depends on what type of cold it is.

even if you break up with someone that you love dearly. is there a chance that you will get back together?

its possible. but things are never the same, especially if you wait a long time. If you can remediate the situation, do it now, otherwise it might never happen. And if it does, its prolly going to be only about sex. And then you're going to get hurt. Its never the same after the break up, the feelings are different. So, I wouldn't...  Iwould try to find love w/someone else. It might seem impossible now, but it will happen. You will find love again. Especially when you're not looking. Good luck!!

what is the eastern most state of the US?

There are two different potential answers to this question: Maine or Alaska, depending on whether or not you include islands. Semisopochnoi Island, Alaska is 179°46'East Longitude. The farthest East something can be is 180° East Longitude, which is also 180° West Longitude, which is the International Date Line (sort of. See Wikipedia for details of that also: "International Date Line" See: my "Sources" for a link.)\n\nIf you ask what the Eastern most point in the US is, there are potentially six different answers, but they collapse to four because West Quoddy Head, Maine is the answer for three of them. See the following list (from the Wikipedia page):   \n\n\n50 States: West Quoddy Head, Maine\n\n48 Contiguous States: West Quoddy Head, Maine\n\nIncluding only points on North American Continent: West Quoddy Head, Maine\n\nUnited States including territories and insular areas: Point Udall, US Virgin Islands\n\nUnited States including territories and insular areas by longitude: Semisopochnoi Island, Alaska4 (179°46'E)\n\nUnited States including territories and insular areas by International Date Line: Wake Island

sickest or meanest question you've read?

We may have read the same question:\n\n1. The guy who posted that he wanted to see a 10 year old girls privates\n2. Another person asked by Blacks are smarter and more superior to whites\n3. A guys asked if it was okay to push old ladies down the stairs (I think he was joking but still...)\n4. Yesterday someone asked if people wanted to join him on a shooting spree\n5. I really hate the ones that put down the Muslims and Arabs in general or insult Islam or any other religion. I'm a Christian and I think I get as upset or even more offended than the Muslims do. The Muslims are very kind, tolerant people and I never see them put anyone or any other religion down. They will aslo answer your questions if you have any about their faith. They are very patient and they freely answer your questions.


does anyone suffer from depersonalisation in the United kingdom?

Hello :-) ! Well, I used to live in the UK :o) ... I suffer from depersonalisation regularly or maybe most of the time LOL. Am not quite in touch with what I am feeling, thinking and so on, if that is depersonalisation at all... not feeling in control of myself. Basically don't know myself. I have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and that is one of the symptoms of it. I think that mindfulness training could help. The first link has got a link with lessons in core mindfulness skills on it. There does not seem to be a fix treatment of it yet. For more info, have a look at the links (and the links on the page LOL) below. Good luck!

How long can a crime be held against a person after a conviction/jail time is served?

It depends on many things.  If you have now been placed on parole or probation for so long, it continues until the end of the probation/parole times.  If the full sentence is served and there are no other restrictions placed on you by the court, you should be free, legally at least.  Unless you get a pardon, you will always have that on your criminal record and may cause problems with a job search.  If you have had 2 convictions in some states, you carry that around and face a third strike ruling which could put you in prison for an indeterminate sentence.  If you have been charged with any type of sex crime, even prostitution, you will have to be a registered sex offender wherever you go.  That one will be with you for life.


I have reddish brown marks on my cheeks any remedy for this?

Did you mean freckles, if so, then here are some sites I found that I hope will help you.

I would also go see a doctor, such as a dermatologist. Hope this has helped!!!


Why do we study Limits in Calculus? I know what a limit is, I want to know WHY we study them.?

to get an extra credit, maybe?\n\n---\n\nseriously, I cannot figure out how you can study calculus without knowing limits: even if you only deal with numerical procedures, every iterative formula, or better, EVERY FORMULA (such as those used to find the roots of a non-linear equation, approximated integrals, derivatives and so on) needs a preventive study for convergence conditions: this involves limits!\n\nOne more step back: DERIVATIVE IS A LIMIT ! How can you apply it without knowing what it is?

Not a chick, sorry.\n\nHowever, I do have an opinion on this... Make up is a tool for expression. It's an artificial way for a person to create an ideal image for themselves. People of all religions wear things and decorate themselves in a way that they think would be pleasing to their gods (or goddesses) or just to impress other people.\n\nEven religious people need to feel attractive. And not everyone is raised by the global community with enough self esteem to say, "This is how I look - like it or not".


I take showers, baths, use deodorant, rubbing alcohol,perfume & still have B.O.  Do you have any suggestions?

Yes, I suggest you consult a physician.  Sometimes B.O. is just a symptom of an underlying disease that has something to do with your internal organs.  If, as you've said, you've tried everything topical to get rid of the smell but you can't, it could have something to do with your diet or something is not working properly inside of you.  Get some tests done and you'll soon find out what it is and get proper treatment for it.


Are the number of questions/answers/rates/votes listed for Yahoo Answers for each level daily limits?


You don't have to avoid anything, but you do need to limit your consumption of carbohydrates. Simple carbs like sugar, honey, syrup, etc are quickly metabolized into blood sugar and will cause your blood sugar to spike quickly. You should greatly limit these things, but always carry hard candy with you and eat it if you feel your blood sugar getting too low. Complex carbs like rice, beans, potatoes, etc. take longer to metabolize so your blood sugar level raises slower over a linger period of time, but you have to limit the quantity to avoid causing your blood sugar to go to high. 1/2 cup of pasta, potatoes, corn, beans, any starch is one serving. 1 slice of bread=1 serving. You should check with your local hospitals and your doctors office to see if they offer diabetic education classes, if they don't then ask your doctor to refer you to a dietitian. Good Luck!

is there anyway at all to get information from a harddrive once it has been formatted?

Yes, but if you've already written over the sectors where the data was stored, it's most likely beyond doing it yourself. STOP using the drive immediately and you may still be able to recover some data. There is a free data recovery program called Zero Assumption Recovery that you can try. Another program called Getdataback For NTFS ($100) is a better option than a freeware program.


Is private school education better than state school education?  What do you think?

It depends on location. At the K-12 levels a private education can go further and implement more advanced curriculum only because they have the ability to determine who attends their schools. Many private schools require prospective students to score at a certain level on entrance exams. Most have complete control to expel disciplinary problems that disrupt classes without having to go through lengthy paper trails. Some private schools also center on specific teaching methods targeting a specific group (for example private schools that only have students with learning disabilities). \n\nPublic schools can't turn any child away regardless of ability or their behavioral record unless it borders on the extreme. On the flip side, there are many private schools that pop up and aren't accredited. They use old materials, have teachers that are not required to meet any standards, and supply no current technology. Public schools are guaranteed to have certified teachers and be up-to-date on teaching methods for all children.\n\nIn short, it depends on the schools that are available in your area. Private schools should be accredited ensuring that they and their teachers meet high standards. Both public and private schools should be able to provide statistics on test scores from their students so that parents will be able to compare. (This is where parents must perform research on what type of tests were used because they sometimes measure achievement in different ways.) Lastly, each child is a different individual who may flourish in one environment and completely disintegrate in another due to social problems. Private schools do provide an alternative when a child is miserable at their present school and moving to a different district is out of the question. Also, some children can't take the social/academic pressure that comes with some private schools and would do much better in a less-competitive environment.

what types of surfaces create the best echoes?

i agree.  sound waves are comparable to waves in a fluid, like water.  A good way to test the reflectivity of a material would be to see how strongly water ripples would bounce off of a wall made of that material.  If you picture disturbing water near a submerged marble wall, you could imagine that the waves would bounce off quite neatly compared to how water may reflect waves from a styrofoam wall or a rough, jagged rock surface.  So, bottom line, dense smooth surfaces produce the best echo.


what substance/chemical would dissolve in water and not alcohol?

There are two types of chemical bond. The first type of chemical bond is the ionic bond. Substance with ionic bond only dissolve in water and not in organic solvents like the alcohol and tetrachloromethane. Examples of substance with ionic bond are sodium chloride, aluminium oxide and magnesuim oxide and so on. The second type of chemical bond is the covalent bond. Substance with covalent bonding DO NOT dissolve in water BUT only dissolves in organic solvents like alcohols. Therefore, substance with covalent bonding like the alcohol(includes ethanol and methanol), ammonia, methane and tetrachloromethane only dissolve in alcohol and not water.

YES, No, YES , No, Yes NO, etc.\nIt is like asking if a FORD is better tha an Edsel or\na Studebaker.

I can NAME a few from both, that after a few months on the market, had terrible reputations,\nand user comments that were very poorly rated.\n It is probably best to wait a month or two when a new product is put out, and read the reviews on the internet from users, and TECH reviews. Like buying a car, one year\nthe product may be great, and the next year the same model\nis a lemon. There is no way to be certain other than letting\nother people purchase and test the boards first.

What i wrote to answers-abuse@cc.yahoo-inc.com::::\n-----\nDear Answers.Yahoo.com,\n\nI disagree with so much that Schneb puts up on Answers.Yahoo.com, but to remove him or to suspend him is a JOKE! He simply would not do anything that would be abusive. I think now that you have set a precedent, anyone can have anyone else removed or suspended simply by complaining enough, even when there is no merit to those complaints. Is there no way to take the complaints and measure them against how often someone has answered, or how often someone's answers have been given thumbs up, or even been voted best answer??\n\nPlease re-instate Schneb. To have removed him is a joke, to keep him off is just immoral, and gives in to those who would abuse their right to complain in order to censor, the last resort of those unable to defend their positions!\n\nThank You,\n\nRabbi Stuart Federow\n   sfederow on answers.yahoo.com


How do you know if a boy likes you whithout asking him?

It is quite simple really. Just look into his eyes and it should give it away. It depends on how this guy masks his feelings. If hes not masking them he'll come out and tell you. If he is your going to have a problem.

What do you think Jim Leyland will do for the Tigers that Alan Trammell failed to do?

I think what Alan Trammell failed to do was lay down the law. His undoing was the fact he is too nice a guy.  Plus there were a lot of injuries to key players, and that was not his fault. jim leyland is NOT my favorite, and I dont think he will take The Tigers to 81 wins. I think what jim leyland WILL do is probably smoke in the dugout and abuse pitchers. That is what jim leyland does best.\n\n(edited to comment on the guy below me):\n\njim leyland is not smart and not good. i would not be surprised if he runs away like he did in CO. if jimmieboy doesnt win 81 games this year we all should call for his head on a platter!!!

"All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to the dust again. Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth" (Ecclesiastes 3:20-21).\n\n"then the dust shall return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God who gave it" (Ecclesiastes 12:7).


Please Describe the 3 types of acceleration that can take place in a single moving object such as an airplane.

3 potential types of acceleration in an airplane,\n-"normal" or translational acceleration\n-centripetal acceleration\n-angular acceleration\n\nIf a plan is flying perfectly level and at a constant speed due North [the direction is arbitrary], there are 3 things it can do to cause an acceleration.\n\n--The first is that it would accelerate translationally forward.  If it had been going 1000 m/s, it could increase its speed to 1001 m/s (or more).  This change in velocity is an acceleration.\n\n--The plan could start to turn from its original heading of due north to some other heading (like west).  This change in direction causes a change in velocity, the plan experieces centripetal acceleration while going around its turn.\n\n--While the plane is turning (we imagine it much like a car goes around a corner) it could also bank and begin to rotate [before it was flying perfectly level].  This change in rotation is a change in angular velocity, therefore is caused by an angular acceleration.

i can ask only the questions because of doubts, but i cant answer any question?

I do that sometimes too.  It maybe because you don't fully understand what the person is trying to ask or because you have questions regarding the subject as well.

what do u do when everyones in your life turns on you and it won't stop?

Think about what they have to say. Maybe there is some truth to it... even if the truth is painful to hear. If they are important to you, ask for forgiveness and how you can set things right. Then do it.\n\nOr, become a callous b*tch or a**hole and forget about them. \n\nI'd choose the first. Both are painful, but the first suggestion will make things better.


Do you have any idea who you might vote for in 2008?  or at least who you would want to run?

I actually prefer third party candidates. I would love it if Ann Coulter ran, but I know she is not so far from middle of the road that she would never win.  I might vote for John Mcain if he was running.  I would never vote for Hillary.

Why are 1990 dollars worth more than 1989 dollars?

Find a legitimate web-based business. As for me, Ebay didn't work because I didn't have a bunch of stuff I wanted to sell.  Plus, you need items people want to buy.  With that enterprise, you probably need to have money to make money.  A lot of people want the money, but don't want to work to get it.  I never found easy money in my 50+ years. There is no easy, legal, long-lasting income available on the internet unless you're willing to put in the work.  Think: delayed gratification and not instant satisfaction. I have been working for a while now on my own web-based company and I'm making some substantial additional income.  It's not to the point where I can quit work yet, but it grows every month because I put in the time and effort -- THE WORK.  Find and read a book by Richard Bach called START LATE, FINISH RICH.  That might help.  NOTHING WORTHWHILE EVER COMES EASY.


Don't the theory of evolution and cell theory contradict themselves?

While I believe in an intelligent design, (for scientific purposes) the first cell was believed to come about through chemical evolution.  Supposedly, our world use to be a rather hostile environment, composed of very few elements.  Through some process, these elements reacted together and formed chemical compounds, specifically nucleic acids, or genetic material.  As the environment continued to change, more chemicals were formed (amino acids, etc.) and began interacting until eventually, they organized in such a fashion they formed a cellular organism, capable of reproducing itself.  From this cell, more cells were produced, leading to evolutionary changes between the cells, eventually leading to different types/kinds of cells, and ultimately different organisms.  So while cells do come from other cells, supposedly there was a "first cell".\n\nI'm not sure if this makes sense or even answers the question.........?

What are the goals and objectives of globalization?

I do not think globalization has a goal or an objective per se it is just something that happens naturally. It is part of history unfolding. \n\nThere is no one person or organization or institution that is behind globalization and therefore we cannot say that globalization has a conscious focus or has a goal or objective that is predetermined or established by someone. It is just an inevitable mega political trend that countries and individuals and organizations have to try to understand and leverage to their own advantage.\n\nYou might have an easier time finding out about the business goals of a company that wants to go global. :-)

How do you reinstall Windows Media Center without reinstalling XP?

You can't.  Windows Media Center is the version of XP, not a separate application.


I would not show my straps. You can buy a strapless bra as well as a racerback bra to eliminate or hide straps. Racerback bras are for tank tops and offer more support than a strapless bra. Of course, there is the occasional strap slip. When deciding on a bra, get measured first. Seventy percent of women wear the wrong bra size.


Will Led Zeppelin ever get together to Tour?

Led Zeppelin is an acquired taste and they won't be on walkers.  One would have to   really know music to appreciated talent like Zeppelin, I don't think they will tour, maybe do a concert here and there and Jason Bonham does take the place of his father in the band.  Zeppelin does not suck most definitely, they will always be good because unlike the bands today they have something that is rare-TALENT!!!!

Typically small dvd/movie and cd stores and blockbuster purchase used dvds - but you get less than you would expect.  You can sell them at fleamarkets, but then you're dealing with piracy issues and competition.


Philip of Thesalonica, the Greek poet, in about 20 B.C., mentions the use of writing tools fashioned of lead in disc shaped pieces. The small lead disc used by the Romans to rule guidelines on papyrus may have been responsible for the error that led to identifying our family core as lead.

How about using Visual Basic Express or Visual C# Express.  They're "lite" versions of VB.NET and C#.NET.  You could mockup your screens without any associated code.  The advantage is that if you ever wanted to put functionality behind them, you could just start coding.

What is the difference between a PCI and PCIe?

PCI-E (Peripheral Controller Interconnect - Express) is an "upgrade" to the AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) system.  PCI is the latest standard for expansions such as sound cards and modems, network adapters, etc.  PCI's predecessor was ISA (Industry Standard Architecture).\n\nPCI-E is currently only used for graphics adapters, and is capable of higher bandwidth transfer rates than AGP, allowing for much quicker processing and memory functions from the graphics adapter.  PCI-E is also capable of SLI (Scalable Link(?) Interface) which allows for the use of two graphics cards at once.  This is much more efficient than using a dual-gpu card due to cooling issues and available VRAM on both cards.  SLI, however, is only compatible in certain programs and games, therefore the latest graphics drivers provide preset hardware settings available through "profiles" in the advanced section of your display properties that allow the cards to work for the specific software listed.  \n\nSoon after PCI-E and SLI was announced, Alienware developed their "Video Array" technology which allowed for the use of any two PCI-E graphics cards and did not have the limitations and compatibility issues of SLI.  Now this technology has been built upon even farther by Intel and the idea of SLI being less complicated and more user friendly is becoming more and more realistic.


Can having sex with       s l u t s      can cause AIDS?


The Cadillac Russian Open is currently the only golf tournament on the European Tour schedule which is played east of the former Iron Curtain. It was established in 1996 as a tournament on the second tier Challenge Tour and was added to the European Tour schedule in 2003. It is played near Moscow, the same week in August as the PGA Championship takes place in the United States. Few of the top players on the European Tour are available and it is one of the two least lucrative events on the Tour. The 2005 prize fund of $500,000 is around a tenth of those at the leading events on the European Tour, even leaving aside the major championships and World Golf Championships. However in the Challenge Tour's case it is one of the richest tournaments of the season.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Russian_Open

Could English women own land from the 1550's-1620's?

Around the time, women could not own land.  It was forbidden by laws.  All their properties would be their parents or (until they are married) inherited by their hustbands.  The only exceptions (when women did own their land) were if the women are single and not married.

should i buy a house in orange county california?

At this point, buying a house in Orange County may not be the best purchase you could make.  Housing prices are at an all time high right now but they look to be heading back down.  That could put you upside down on your loan (i.e. you would owe more on the loan than the house is worth).  The prices are so high here that some of the people I work with are selling their houses for a large sum and moving into rentals until the prices move down.  Then they will buy another house and have made a profit on their old one.


Yes. I do. I don't pretend to understand how it works with them or when or why, but I do most definitely believe, and the reason I believe is typical for us questioning human types: I saw my child saved right before my eyes and it could only have been his Guardian Angel. It truly was a miracle.\nHe was 4, he got out of the car in a busy parking lot and broke into a run, I was yelling from the other side of the car for him to stop. A car was speeding toward him. The driver did not see him, and he didn't see the car. The collision was inevitable, I was about to see my baby die. I know I sent up a prayer, some heartfelt plea. Then the car sped past, it never slowed. My son's little body flew kind of up and back and skidded along the ground. When I got to him a few seconds later he opened his eyes and said kind of angrily to me,"You didn't have to yank me THAT hard, my bum hurts from the ground!"  He didn't have a scratch on him, and he said he felt, he thought it was me, grab the back of his overalls and pull on him very hard til he flew up and back.\nWhat else could it have been?

How does our modern society (parents, relatives, teachers,etc) socialize children to be masculine or feminine?

this is such a huge question. socialization takes place from when we are very young. when the parents ask "is it a boy or a girl?" then come the stereotypes ...if its a girl...the pink dresses n pretty bows...the lovely designs with flowers on it. if its a boy..its blue or some other dark color...and same with the shirts n other clothing...pictures of trucks n what-not. the room that the baby is put in usually has such a theme...if its a boy its blue n so on. then ethere's the toys...tonka trucks n buildin blocks for boys n dolls n tea sets for girls. look in a toy store n see if the toys are gendered...there's the guy section with all the gi joes n trucks then there's the girls sectionw ith pink dolls n tea sets n easy bake ovens. the answer goes on n on. its all about how we are raised.


No but my mom, her best friend and my cousin all have.


Well, there are no guarantees in family law, but I suspect a judge would take that newest baby as prima facie evidence that the mother is not a particularly good influence on the kids.  This is especially true if the father has a decent place for the kids to live, someone to watch them while he works, etc.  She really screwed up, didn't she?


What is the longest time someone can possibly stay awake, is it possible to resist the need to sleep?

The record is something like 12 days or so by a kid. Everyone will eventually succumb to the need to sleep but when in the question. They cannot figure out why our body needs sleep and one one has ever died from a lack of it. Some theorize that we sleep because back in the day humans needed to stay in at night to avoid getting killed by nocturnal animals.

It's not wrong at all if he makes you feel good while the two of you are together.  But you have to think realistically about the long term thing.  He's still very young so he may see things differently then you do.  Just enjoy the time that you do have.  That's all you can ask for.


why do i feel fatigue and out of anergy?

It can be several things pregnancy, period, stress, depression, your diet (if you eat more green vegetables you wil feel better) and also plenty of rest.


Traditionally, timber has been at the top of the list. But there is a also a large fishing industry, huge agricultural industry and the absolute beauty of the state is argueably the biggest natural resource we have.

Try Bitdefender Free Edition:\n\nhttp://www.bitdefender.com


I had a bad problem with insomnia for many years, and did some research on it.  Here are the things I’ve found that help the most.\n\n1.  Don't take the sleeping pills.  Although they are not addictive in the way we tend to think (you won't jones for them if you miss taking them) they are addictive in the sense that once you have taken them for a while, you will have to take them to get to sleep, but they won't have the same effect they used too.   This is because you tend to not get the necessary REM sleep you need to be rested.  If you must take a sleeping pill, take it well before you go to sleep.  For instance, I prefer to take sleeping pills 2 hours before I go to sleep, so that the pill can get into my system and make me drowsy before I get into bed, then get out of my system (hopefully) early enough that I get some normal sleep.\n\n2.  Try to go to bed at about the same time every night.  You have some wiggle room on this, but if you stay out on Saturday night till 3, it'll be harder to go to sleep at 10PM Sunday.\n\n(Which somewhat contradicts:)\n\n3.  If possible, don't go to bed if you're not sleepy.  Note  - one thing I have read and found to be true is that you have to be awake for 12 hours before you can go back to sleep.  So if you sleep till noon, again, you won't be sleepy at 10PM.  \n\n4.  Don't spend more than 15-30 minutes trying to get to sleep.  If you notice that you've been in bed more than 15 minutes, get out of bed and do something for a while.  Make sure what you do isn't going to make you more hyper; e.g. no exercising or energetic music or writing posts to online debates. \n\n5.  When you go to bed, choose a chore or some other task that you do not want to do and tell yourself that if you are still awake in thirty minutes you will do that task.  Then, if you are still awake, get up and do your chosen task.  This is my favorite suggestion, as it has worked nearly every time I've used it. .\n\nThose are the most useful suggestions I have.  Other things you can try:\n\nBefore you start getting ready for sleep, turn off high energy music and turn the lights down.  I love R&R music, but I went through a period where I had to turn the radio off every night about an hour before I went to bed, or I would be to wired to sleep. And our bodies react to reduced light by producing melatonin which puts us to sleep.  \n\nGet plenty of exercise, but not right before bed.  (Unless you're weird like me - exercise right before bed just puts me to sleep)\n\nAnother suggestion that might work is to relax your body, consciously, one area at a time, starting from your feet. You think about the ball of your left foot and relax it, then the ball of your right foot, then the arch of your left foot, etc. You have to concentrate (pretty hard) on what you are doing\n\nSex *grin*  by yourself or with an SO, it produces a nice soporific chemical, which does a nice job of putting you to sleep.

A dry cough is noise but no mucus. A wet cough is productive (you are spitting up mucus.)\n\nStop. Don't reach for the cough medicine until you know what you're doing. And certainly don't give it to children or people with addictions until you understand exactly what those ingredients mean.\n\n\nThe first thing to find out is whether your cough mixture is an antitussive or an expectorant. It cannot be both. One cough mixture does not treat all coughs. If your cough mixture claims to contain both ingredients (and there are some which do), put it back on the shelf immediately.\n\n\n\nAn antitussive is a cough mixture which stops the coughing reflex. It is intended for the kind of cough we commonly call dry: that itchy, persistent scratch in the throat. It's often caused by an irritation in the throat, and coughing just makes the irritation worse. So the best remedy is to suppress the body's natural reaction to cough. Antitussives may be addictive, because they work on the cough reflex in the brain. If you are concerned about addiction, look for an antitussive called dextromethorphan, which is considered safe.\n\nAn expectorant is a cough mixture which assists the coughing reflex. Yes, that's right, it helps you cough more. It is intended for the kind of cough we commonly call wet, or productive: you cough up mucus. Where is that mucus coming from? It's coming from your lungs. What happens if you don't cough it out? You can answer that one yourself.\n\n\nYour lungs normally produce a certain amount of mucus, which is carried out of the lungs by little hair-like cilia lining the air pipes. It's so natural you don't even notice it. However, if you have an infection, or sometimes just an allergic reaction to something, this can result in a buildup of mucus. Your body's natural reaction is to clear the lungs by coughing. Once the infection has cleared, and the mucus buildup has gone, the coughing will stop by itself and you'll be able to breathe again.\n\n\nThat's step one. Identify what kind of cough you want to treat, and buy the right kind of formulation. Anti-tussives for dry coughs, expectorants for wet coughs. If you want to keep cough mixture in your first aid cupboard, make sure you have one of each.\n\n\nStep two is to find out more about the other ingredients in a cough mixture. Very few cough mixtures have just one ingredient. Often, the ingredients fight each other instead of working together.\n\n\nSome cough mixtures have ingredients to help stop pain. This can be useful with both an antitussive and an expectorant. If your throat is sore, you want to soothe the pain. If your lungs are painful from a tight chest caused by inflammation, some pain relief is always welcome. Codeine is often added to cough mixture to help soothe the pain. That's fine - but be aware that codeine is potentially very addictive. It is a derivative of morphine, which is a powerful narcotic painkiller. If you're buying a cough mixture for children or people with addictions, avoid the codeine.\n\n\nAnother ingredient often added to cough mixtures is an antihistamine, which helps fight allergic reactions. It is probably a good combination with an antitussive, where coughing may result from an allergic reaction in the throat. It can happen that lungs fill up with phlegm caused by an allergic post-nasal drip, for example, so don't be surprised to see it in an expectorant.\n\n\nSome cough mixtures have a bronchodilator added. This is an ingredient that helps widen the air passages in the lungs. It can be a very helpful ingredient when your lungs are filled with mucus, because it gives the mucus room to move so that it can be coughed out more easily. It is completely useless in an antitussive and serves only to increase the price.\n\n\nDecongestants help soften the phlegm, so that it can move out of the lungs more easily. Once again, these are only appropriate in an expectorant. Your doctor


How would u know if someone still loves u?

well, old feelings, however bruised, can still be revived. most of the time, some people can accept the fact that they have moved on and found another lover, but not until the love replaced was greater than the previous one. if you want to try reconsidering old feelings, then make sure your promises this time are real.\n\noh, and by the way...

how to become a professional basketball player?

You have to be really really good, like in the top 55 out of 3000+ college players. The nba scouts from the nba teams have to identify you as a highly potentialled player that can help their team and you have to be picked in the first round of the NBA draft to have a garenteed contract and getting picked in the second round justs means that you made the NBA, but you may get released or assigned to the D-League. P.S- The minimum salary for a NBA player is around $387,000.


accounting entry required if I made a sales with a gift coupon?

Yes you are required to make an entry.\n\nWhen you originally sold or gave out the gift coupon - you would have recorded (or should have recorded) a liability.  (This is based on the assumption that the instrument you are referring to is a gift card - not a coupon advertised in the paper - although a liability estimate should have been made for this).\n\nIf you did this, this is how the entry should look like:\nGift Coupon     $50      (debit)\n   Revenue          $50  (credit)

My Roomate would like your opinion. On American Idol are people winning and getting judged because of true?

I say that they are judging more on the looks...America's votes I mean. David's (Radford) a crooner, not a lot of people like crooners, so why's he still on? It's just like in Season 3 (sorry, got to meantion this one part), after Jenifer Hudson left, John Stevens said "it should've been me." and he's a crooner as well as David. America's becoming more and more shallow nowadays...so when the American Idol gets crowned to a person with good looks, but a bad singing talent, you'll know why


Rule #1. The most important fundamental, if you want to catch salmon, is action on your bait or lure. If you have good rolling and erratic action, you will have a much better chance of catching salmon. When a salmon hits your bait or lure he is looking for dinner. If your bait looks like a wounded struggling baitfish you have a much better chance of getting the salmon's attention. Let me explain. Salmon have three sensing mechanism they use to find their prey. They are sight, smell and lateral line response. If you are trolling and your lure passes within a few feet of a salmon and he sees it, you will probably catch him. The problem is that in the ocean and most other bodies of water the salmon can't see more than four or five feet. The water is too murky. If you are relying on sight alone, you probably won't bring home many salmon. The second sense is smell. Salmon have an extremely sharp sense of smell but if you are trolling a bait forty feet down and the salmon is at fifty five feet he will never smell the scent trail left by your bait unless he gets right behind it. The third sensing mechanism is the one you want working for you. Down a salmon's side and on his head and back there are tiny hair-like projections called cupula. Each of these has a nerve cell at the end. These cells are used to pick up vibrations in the water. If a salmon is swimming thirty feet down and a school of baitfish swims across the surface above him, he knows exactly what's going on. His lateral line cells pick up the vibrations made by the wiggling tails of the baitfish. He doesn't see them or smell them but he knows exactly where they are. If some of them are wounded and swimming erratically he knows he has his next meal. This is the mechanism you want to take advantage of. If your lure is putting out erratic vibrations twenty or thirty feet from a salmon you can pull him like a magnet. He will follow the vibration like a radar beam and attack your bait. This is why we say action on your bait or lure is the most important strategy you can use. Lures like the Crocodile, the Apex and the Rotary Salmon Killer put out the erratic powerful vibrations that will get you salmon. Whenever you put a bait or lure in the water you should carefully check its action. If it is not rolling or shaking, don't let it down. Sometimes the bait needs adjusting or a hook is lodged at a funny angle. Another possibility is that your boat trolling speed is not right for the lure you are using. Sometimes all you need to do is speed up.\n\nRule #2 Sharp Hooks. This seems like an obvious thing but most fishermen ignore it. In the authors experience, very few salmon hooks are sharp enough even brand new. The author and his Scotty Pro team worked eight years filming salmon hitting baits and lures in the ocean. They learned that the salmon come after your bait time and time again. The average salmon misses or just grazes the bait at least two times before he hits solid enough to get hooked. We observed one salmon hitting a bait twenty two times before he got hooked on the twenty third try. If your hooks are sticky sharp you have a much better chance of that hook digging in as a salmon hits and slashes at the bait. Carry a small file or emery stone and sharpen those hooks on every trip. You will definitely be rewarded with more salmon in the fish box.\n\nSee the link for more details!

Can you file a small claims court suit against a non-US Citizen?

You can file a small claims lawsuit against a non-US citizen.  However, you will also need to make sure they are properly servied.  Collecting the judgment may be difficult if they do not have assets in your state.\n\nIn order for a court have jurisdiction on a nonresident defendnt, the defendant must have a sufficient level of personal or business contacts with the state in which the court sits that the defendant could reasonbly expect to be sued there.  These contacts are generally referred to by the term of art "minimum contacts". Generally speaking, a party is subject to personal jurisdiction in a state if the party has purposely availed itself of the resources of protection of the state.

what time should you place a call in hawaii so that someone can recieve the call at 6:30a.m. in chicago?

That would depend on what time of year you are placing your call.  Hawaii does not practice daylight-savings time.  If you are placing your call during daylight savings time, you will need to place the call from Hawaii at 1:30 A.M.  If it is not daylight savings time, you will need to place the call at 2:30 A.M.\n\nIn 2006, daylight savings is in effect between April 1 and October 29.

Favorite Grateful Dead song/lyric and why?

Ahhh the Grateful Dead. You know it's been over 10 years since they have been around, but I can still remember the shows like it was yesterday. One single song? One single lyric/line? No way. I may be able to narrow it down to a few individual shows. Now if you really REALLY want to hear some "dead on" truly incredible beauty, then you need to buy Dicks Picks Vol.9. I'm telling you man, that was a show that would have made God himself be amazed. The other real significance of that show was it was the first show they did after Brent died....I'll never forget how nervous me and all the other heads were about it. How will it be without Brent? Well it ended up being one of the greatest Dead shows of all  time. I remember afterwords we were talking about it and it was like: "My God, were going to be OK. This is really going to work." Then about 5 years later is when Garcia died. We all knew it was over the day it happened. All we could do is mourn his loss and be grateful that we were in the time and in the same universe as these incredible shows were. Not only that, but able to enjoy and appreciate them. It was like we had gotten more than our fair share of pure joy. The line then...and now, that made the most sense about the reality of what had happened, what was happening right now, and what will happen is: "The wheel is turning and you can't slow down. You can't let go and you can't hold on. You can't go back and you can't stand still." That's all I have to say......again, Dicks Picks Vol.9

Which came first, the Chicken or the Egg?

Chickens evolved from non-chickens through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote. These changes and mutations only have an effect at the point where a new zygote is created. That is, two non-chickens mated and the DNA in their new zygote contained the mutation(s) that produced the first true chicken. That one zygote cell divided to produce the first true chicken. \n\nPrior to that first true chicken zygote, there were only non-chickens. The zygote cell is the only place where DNA mutations could produce a new animal, and the zygote cell is housed in the chicken's egg. So, the egg must have come first. \n\nSo it is Egg technically. (But that Egg is not a chicken egg) \nbut in ur question if the Egg is "chicken egg" then obviously then it is Chicken.

a men basket team won 24 games and lost 32, what is the ratio of games lost to the number of games played?

A ratio is just a compairason between the games lost to the games played. You can write a ration in these different ways:\n5/7\n5:7\n5 to 7\n\nSince you're comparing the games lost to the total number of games, to get the total number of games you have to add 32 to 24:\n24+32=56\n\nThen, the ratio would be:\nlost:total=32:56\n\nThis ratio can be simplified:\n32:56=16:28=8:14=4:7\n\nSo the final ratio is 4 to 7. This can also be written as:\n4:7\nAND\n4/7

how many stripes are on the american flag and why?

The U.S. flag has undergone many changes since the first official flag of 1777. On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act, which said that the flag would be made up of thirteen alternating red and white stripes and thirteen white stars on a blue field. Stars have been added to the flag as new states join the union. Currently, the flag contains 50 stars.\n\nEver wonder why the flag is red, white, and blue? While the flag's colors did not have a specific meaning at the time, the colors were significant for the Great Seal of 1782.\n\n    * White: Signifies purity and innocence\n    * Red: Signifies valor and bravery\n    * Blue: Signifies Vigilance, perseverance, and justice\n\nWhy stars and stripes? Stars are considered a symbol of the heavens and the divine goal to which man has aspired from time immemorial; the stripe is symbolic of the rays of light emanating from the sun.

am i elgiable for cobra insurance through my employer even if i have medicare?

I was a M08 (Medicare) consultant for 10 years. First off, yes, you should be able to carry Cobra if you want to. Looking at the big picture though, Cobra is always very expensive when you have to go the premiums alone. Medicare, if you have part A and part B and then a supplement policy which would run you a lot less than Cobra would take care of you very well. Medicare would become your primary insurance and then a good supplemental policy would take care of the balance. To be honest with you, Medicare pays very little due to the contractual adjustment the hospital are required to write off. Having Cobra as your primary insurance and Medicare secondary is not as good as the other way around. If you should decide to go with Medicare as primary find a reliable insurance company, make sure the policy is a "supplement" which means it pays the balance that Medicare would not. Don't let them sell you a policy that conforms to paying like a primary insurance. Its a waste of your money. I hope I have helped.


What is the history of the debate of english as the offical language of the United States?

what does burning a cd mean in computers?

CDs store music and other files in digital form -- that is, the information on the disc is represented by a series of 1s and 0s.In conventional CDs, these 1s and 0s are represented by millions of tiny bumps and flat areas on the disc's reflective surface. The bumps and flats are arranged in a continuous track that measures about 0.5 microns (millionths of a meter) across and 3.5 miles (5 km) long. \nTo read this information, the CD player passes a laser beam over the track. When the laser passes over a flat area in the track, the beam is reflected directly to an optical sensor on the laser assembly. The CD player interprets this as a 1. When the beam passes over a bump, the light is bounced away from the optical sensor. The CD player recognizes this as a 0. \nThe CD fabrication machine uses a high-powered laser to etch the bump pattern into photoresist material coated onto a glass plate. Through an elaborate imprinting process, this pattern is pressed onto acrylic discs. The discs are then coated with aluminum (or another metal) to create the readable reflective surface. Finally, the disc is coated with a transparent plastic layer that protects the reflective metal from nicks, scratches and debris. \n\n\nIn response to this demand, electronics manufacturers introduced an alternative sort of CD that could be encoded in a few easy steps. CD-recordable discs, or CD-Rs, don't have any bumps or flat areas at all. Instead, they have a smooth reflective metal layer, which rests on top of a layer of photosensitive dye. \nWhen the disc is blank, the dye is translucent: Light can shine through and reflect off the metal surface. But when you heat the dye layer with concentrated light of a particular frequency and intensity, the dye turns opaque: It darkens to the point that light can't pass through. \n\n\n\nA CD-R doesn't have the same bumps and lands as a conventional CD. Instead, the disc has a dye layer underneath a smooth, reflective surface. On a blank CD-R disc, the dye layer is completely translucent, so all light reflects. The write laser darkens the spots where the bumps would be in a conventional CD, forming non-reflecting areas.\n\nBy selectively darkening particular points along the CD track, and leaving other areas of dye translucent, you can create a digital pattern that a standard CD player can read. The light from the player's laser beam will only bounce back to the sensor when the dye is left translucent, in the same way that it will only bounce back from the flat areas of a conventional CD. So, even though the CD-R disc doesn't have any bumps pressed into it at all, it behaves just like a standard disc. \n\nA CD burner's job, of course, is to "burn" the digital pattern onto a blank CD.\n\nThe CD burner has a moving laser assembly, just like an ordinary CD player. But in addition to the standard "read laser," it has a "write laser." The write laser is more powerful than the read laser, so it interacts with the disc differently: It alters the surface instead of just bouncing light off it. Read lasers are not intense enough to darken the dye material, so simply playing a CD-R in a CD drive will not destroy any encoded information.\nThe write laser moves in exactly the same way as the read laser: It moves outward while the disc spins. The bottom plastic layer has grooves pre-pressed into it, to guide the laser along the correct path. By calibrating the rate of spin with the movement of the laser assembly, the burner keeps the laser running along the track at a constant rate of speed. To record the data, the burner simply turns the laser writer on and off in synch with the pattern of 1s and 0s. The laser darkens the material to encode a 0 and leaves it translucent to encode a 1\nthis is why we call it cd burning

How can a Canadian legally live in the US without marrying a US citizen?

as a canadaian you a eligible for TN status (part of the NAFTA agreement). TN status enables you to work and live in the US. You must ,however, be a professional and find a job first. Once you have the job, you get a letter from the employer and simply proceed to the US border where the immigration official grants you the status. You do not have to go to the embassy, however, you must renew it every year (it's possible to make it permanent but very difficult).\n\nOther then the TN status you can apply thru the normal channels (just like any immigrant).

I don't understand why immigration laws make it so hard to get into the country. If we're really what the statue of liberty says, a place for the tired, the poor, the "huddled masses yearning to breathe free", how can we blatantly refuse to allow certain people in? I'm all in favor of strong background checks and stronger border security, but if a person poses no threat, why are we refusing to let them in?


How do I tell my psychiatrist I don't want to go anymore?

Its simple. Call his office. Tell them that you have found someone new. That's it, that's all. \nIts your life and your choice as to who you feel is best to help you. If he is being pushy that means he doesnt have your best well being in mind. He doesnt want to lose your money. He has NO right to make you feel that way. \nYou should "shop around". Not everyone feels confortable with the same psychiatrist. Dont stick with one that you dont feel is helping you. Find one that you feel is. This may take a few tries but dont give up. \nThis is your life...you have the right to find someone thats going to help you, not be stuck with someone who isnt.\n\nGood luck :)

Two years. I work in a utility office and I've seen people that mess up and don't realize it for a year. So I would say two to be on the safe side.
