Best thing to do is to have a detailed, confidential conversation with a mortgage broker.


At What Age We Can Start Mast*****************?


Which countries own the U.S. debt, and can someone please list them in order, greatest amount to smallest?

You've tapped a very complicated subject my friend - I think all of macro economics is vague and all of the smartest economists don't agree on what is going on... So I don't think it is intentionally vague - any more than the rest of the economic field....  Also China owning US debt began when they became part of the WTO (I believe this may have happened on Bush's watch, but was started by Clinton - i.e. not a republican/democrat thing.) I don't know how easy it will be to find - but seems like to answer your specific question you would want to understand the ownership of US treasury securities.  If you are just curious and want to know about this stuff - China does hold a large portion of our debt and that is because we spend more money than we have and they save more money than they make.  We have trade deficit with China because we want to buy their goods, because they are cheap.  In the past they have been more than happy to lend us the money to do so.  But if we don't watch it, our creditors are going to start saying no.  The opinion of congress right now is that this is China's fault and that they are a currency manipulator who should let their currency appreciate.


Its about 10inches (25.4 CM)... Plain and simple for you!\n(This is the measurements for a size 5 ball) which is the one used most commonly.)


sand it, to get the glossy off it, then use a good oil base primer, KILZ, then use good quality high gloss oil based latex paints and good brushes.


I have buckteeth and I was wondering if I gnawed on a log like beavers do if this would help?

I've had a customer of mine say that you can do the same as braces just by pushing on your teeth with your fingers, because that is all that the braces do. Of course if they are bad it will take some time. But if you are alone and watching tv or whatever, just try pushing gently on them. Maybe after a years time there might be an improvement.\n\nYou could always go see about getting braces. I know a lot of adults that gets them. Thre are payment plans to help.


information about prominent bronchovascular marking seen in chest xray?

Increased Bronchovascular Markings\n\nThis always means either infection in respiratory passages or fluid overload. Infection may be acute or chronic. If radiologist reports increased bronchovascular markings but clinical situation is not supporting any thing it can be ignored and film should be taken as normal.\n\nIn cardiac failure cases so called reversal of pattern of markings occur. There is increase in markings in midzones due to fluid overload. Actually this is not reversal. This is only increase in midzones.\n\nIn chronic bronchitis, markings are increased. In emphysema, these are decreased in hyperinflated areas. In collapse of the lungs beyond the line-demarcating lung, these must be absent.


Honestly, it will be very difficult. The Yankees, Red Sox, and Blue Jays are all gonna take some games from each other this year. to me, Roy Halladay is the best picther is baseball when he is healthy. He does nothing but make guys look stupid when he is on the mound, him and that stinkin palmball that he has completely perfected. NY, Boston, and Toronto all play each other a bunch of times and that will hurt all 3 of them because these are 3 very good teams. TB isnt even that bad offensively what with Huff, Cantu, Gomes, Crawford, Gathright, and Lugo. They have a pretty impressive offensive lineup. The problem with Toronto over the past 5 years has been consistency. Can they play well throughout the entire season? With Halladay, Burnett (who is very good despite the crap you hear about him), and Ted Lilly that gives them a pretty solid starting 3 in a series. Vernon Wells is a stud, Glaus and Overbay are very good hitters, Alexis Rios is also another good young stick in the lineup. Signing BJ Ryan was very big for them since now they have a slam-the-door closer, but the rest of their bullpen is very shaky. I would say they have a chance if Halladay stays healthy, Ted Lilly lives up to his expectations as a good pitcher, Burnett pitches like he did 2 years ago in Florida, and the bullpen comes around. Sure they can contend for the wild card, who knows if they over-achieve they may just win the division, but I highly doubt it. I would say right now they are the 7th best team in the AL behind NY, BOS, CLE, CWS, OAK, and LAA. They would need to overachieve very badly in order to get the WC.


Does anyone know of a legitimate website where I can search for an apartment?

A lawyer with good character would be an oxymoron.


There are a few ways. As "Arbitrage" said, registering a free account with a random name is a good way to send e-mail anonymously. A better method, perhaps, is to use what is known as a "remailer." A remailer can be either (1) an online form that allows you to send e-mail from a website without registering or anything, or (2) an e-mail address which will forward your e-mail to the desired recipient without revealing your e-mail.\n\nHere is a good (basic) online remailer:\nhttp://www.gilc.org/speech/anonymous/remailer.html\n\nAbout.com has a more technical description of how to use remailers which will work with your current e-mail address:\nhttp://email.about.com/cs/anonemailtips/qt/et041304.htm


where can i find tenant and landlord laws for the state of california?

If you look through the California Code of Regulations, which outline many different topics, but focusing just on what you were asking, which was regarding Landlord/Tenant relationships, it outlines California State law, and what you can and cannot do as a Landlord, and what you can and cannot do as a lessee.\n\nI would go to weblinks.westlaw.com where you can browse through all of the codes by title for the state of California. I would say that Title 2, Title 4, Title 19 and Title 25 are the ones that you will find the most information about your specific question which was eviction.\n\nUnder Title 25, Division 2 which is the California Housing Finance Agency, look for Chapter 2, Article 4 which is the Tenancy Standards and Procedures.\n\nUnder Sect. 11406 it describes in detail the Eviction hearing process for the State of California.\n\n\nI hope that this helps you!!\n\nLindsay

What does the Theory of Evoloution state about life in Earth?

This is Darwin's Theory of Evolution known as natural selection:\n\n1. Species have great fertility. They make more offspring than can grow to adulthood. \n\n2. Populations remain roughly the same size, with modest fluctuations. \n\n3. Food resources are limited, but are relatively constant most of the time. From these three observations it may be inferred that in such an environment there will be a struggle for survival among individuals. \n\n4. In sexually reproducing species, generally no two individuals are identical. Variation is rampant. \n\n5. Much of this variation is heritable.

The Articles called for an elected legislature called Congress who were given _____ powers.?

strong; The powers of Congress are enumerated in several places in the Constitution.  The most important listing of congressional powers appears in Article I, Section 8 (see left) which identifies in seventeen paragraphs many important powers of Congress.  The last paragraph of Article I, Section 8 grants to Congress the power "to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers"--the "Necessary and Proper Clause."  The proper interpretation of the Necessary and Proper Clause was the subject of a heated debate between such important figures as Alexander Hamilton (who argued that the clause should be read broadly to authorize the exercise of many implied powers) and Thomas Jefferson (who argued that "necessary" really meant necessary).  Hamilton's more flexible interpretation makes possible a strong central government, whereas Jefferson's narrower interpretation strengthens states' rights.

What would be the process to go about legalizing marijuana in the U.S.?

Grass (no pun intended) roots political action. The best people to contact in regard to this would be NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. They are actively working towards getting the laws changed so that marijuana is legal in the United States by proving that it is harmless (which like anything in moderation, it is) and pushing for legislation that would get its classification in the Controlled Substance Act changed.\n\nAgencies involved would have to be the Food And Drug Administration, The US Department of Health and the Drug Enforcement Agency. As for how the legislation would actually be presented to congress and so on, check the link below =)

why do you think most of the African countries fail to represent their country's well in the world cup?

This is actually a very easy question to answer.  If you look at Africa in 2006 and Africa in the early 90's or before they have consistently gotten better and have developed their game.  The people of Africa should be happy with the strides they have made.  There are like 3 teams that will represent the country.  These three teams are not top tier team but will compete they are strong, fast and conditioned.  They lack the quality coaching, experience and the overall (vision/skills) ie:Dutch,Brazil.  \nOverall Africa is a poor country they are a country of turmoil.  AIDS is a huge epidemic there, Human rights are a concern, they don't have the government that has ever put the millions of dollars to train and keep there athletes in shape year in and year out.  There are only a few Africans that play In Europe and gain the valuable experience that they can pass to the rest of there teams.  Africa will get the next World Cup in 4 years, they will spend more money than they ever have in the past.  They will become a country of Champions in every ones lifetime.  I can see Africa representing very well this year, they are no longer a Africa of "wide eyed" happy to be playing teams/players...they go to win!


Everyone.  Socialism or the redisribution of wealth takes away any incentive to work.  If you work hard and make money, it will only be taken away from you.  If you don't work hard, don't sweat it because the gov. will give you everything you need.  Think of it this way - you have spent the last four years of college working your butt off to graduate with a 4.0 GPA, but one of your friends at the same school has spent those years partying and goofing off.  Right before graduation, you are called to the Dean's office and that in order the make things "fair" for everyone at the school, they have decided to redistribute the grade points of everyone on campus.  This means that you, who have worked so hard, will end up with a 3.0 instead of a 4.0 and your friend who did almost nothing will also get a 3.0 instead of a 2.0.  Fair?  I don't think so.  \n\nGranted, socialism works in a few contexts - a church for example - but EVERY SINGLE PERSON HAS TO BE A WILLING PARTICIPANT. But it doesn't work if a government if the people are going to be truely free. Converting to a socialist system (which we have already to some extent, i.e. welfare, social security, medicare) would completely trample the ideals our government was founded on.  Some people might say, "but things are different now."  The fact is, they are right, things are different - too many people today don't understand the meaning of real work and sacrificing oneself for the good of your country, that is why they want a socialist government.


How many satellites or moons does the planet Saturn has?

Saturn has a large number of moons. The precise figure will never be certain as the orbiting chunks of ice in Saturn's rings are all technically moons, and it is difficult to draw a distinction between a large ring particle and a tiny moon. Seven of the moons are massive enough to have collapsed into a spheroid under their own gravitation. These are compared to Earth's moon in the table below. Saturn's most noteworthy moon is Titan, the only moon in the solar system to have a dense atmosphere.\n\nThough it has 47 confirmed satellites.


Apart from Earth, which planet or moon would you chose to live on and why?

Always assuming I could properly Terraform it, I'd choose Mars.\n\nWhy?\n\nA) I get to keep the same sun and the same night sky, except for the moon.\n\nB) The gravitational pull is only 1/3 that of Earth. Heavy burdens and hearty exercise get lighter under those circumstances.\n\nC) I like the idea of living next door to the largest volcano (Olympus Mons) in the solar system. \n\nD) I like rockclimbing and nothing would beat rockclimbing along Valles Marineris (a canyon that you could drop 40 Grand Canyons into and lose 'em all).\n\nE) I like the color red.


Hard to answer specifics when there aren't any - but life is ALWAYS worth living! No matter how bad things are, they always get better; even when things are SO bad that you can't imagine how they can possibly improve - they do. Trust me I know of what I speak.\nTry to think back to some incident earlier in your life that you thought was the end of the world - you got through it - and it doesn't seem half so dreadful now, does it? Whatever you are going through now - just persist and you WILL emerge the other side stronger, wiser and ready to face lifes other challenges.\nI wish you all the very best and hope you can bring yourself to believe what I say, even if you can't believe me now - trust me and you'll see I'm right! :o)


Do you think that homemade remedies works all the time?

seriously, i believe if you believe it Will work, it will work. for example they give people who volunteer to be test subjects two different things, one group is the control and they get placebo or something while the other group gets the actual drugs. meanwhile, the doctor doesn't tell the patients who has what until the procedure is over, and a lot of people who didn't have the actual experimental drug or what have you would swear they had. just because they believed they had the actual drug, they got better. it's seriously mind over matter, because there would be no experiment if the control group got the placebo and they knew it. it's all a mind game. if you think you are going to get better a lot of time you do!


how can i get my groove back on with my man when we have been together for 11 years?

He is in the wrong in this situation. It is not your fault that your mom got in the middle of something an could not control her words. If he is mad at you for something as small as this then he is not worth it.

You also have to remember that you are a strong, beautiful woman and the he should be honored to even be friends with you! :)

probably something to do with taxation.

Where are they getting their healthcare, how do they file status on tax forms?  Best answer I can come up with.  Good Luck!

how come i dont feel the burn when i do the squats and lounges???

first you need to find out if you are performing these exercises properly.  if you are, then maybe it takes longer for you to feel the burning sensation.  when i do crunches i don't start to feel anything until i'm around number 30.  that's because my body is getting used to this exercise so i must increase the reps.

My father. He always stood by me even when I abandoned him. He taught me a trade that has been good for me. Loaned me the money to buy my new house. Helped me in uncountable ways. He has been an example of character and honesty. He is sincere in His beliefs, loves my mom, and has always been a help to his neighbors and friends. It may sound almost unreal but it is true. Many others have spoken the same way of him. I wish I was more like him.


Did election polls go down in the election of 1976?

if you are talking about how close the race was yes.

Should I let my six year old daughter listen to heavy metal rock?

Well... there are other kinds of music she could listen to, rather than heavy metal rock. For instance, soft music such as jazz or maybe pop music. This is just my opinion, if you choose to let her listen to heavy metal rock, so be it.

In Nascar, why can't a driver get away with passing another car under a caution flag?

The field is frozen at the time of caution...the rule was changed after a race in which DJ brought out the caution, his car stalled in the middle of the straightaway, and the cars racing back to the line nearly plowed right into him.  This was also the time they put into effect the "lucky dog" pass, since you can't race back to the line, the first car not on the lead lap gets his lap back (unless he's the one that caused the caution).

What if the pope decides to marry or impregnated a woman?

Now this is just my opinion!  for many years catholic priests have sexually assaulted young boys and it was covered up by the catholic communities?Only in recent years have there been  charges filed against these priests.They can no longer "just transfer" them to a new parish!Because some of those boys and their families were brave enough to contact a police department instead of the church!I have often wondered,why aren't the priests allowed to marry? because they are trying to be God like,because Christ wasn't married? now in answer to your question,I think they'd probably get rid of the woman and child to protect the pope's reputation and credibility!

Are there laws to which companies can't harrass you?

Dress codes are not considered harassment. If you are unwilling to comply with a company dress code, then prepared to get fired, which the company is well within its right to do as long as they provide you the dress code in writing. Falsifying time sheets is, however, against the law. If you have proof, take it to your labor board and see what repercussions exist. But keep in mind, you will probably have to sue the company in civil court at your expense. Not getting your way is not harassment. If you're unhappy with the company, then find another.


How did the Revoluntionary War affect African Americans, women, and Indians.?

So you just want other people who happen to own the same text book as you to go and do your reading and research for you? Read it yourself! It won't even take that long, and you may learn something!


First of all, make sure your lists in Excel have headings on the columns.  For example, line "A" needs to say First Name, Last Name, Street City, State, Zip, etc.  This tells Word what type of info it is looking at. Do this to the best of your ability, depending on how you set up your sheet.  If you combined some of it, don't worry and then follow the next steps...\n\nOk, go into Word and choose "Tools" "Letters and Mailings" and "Mail Merge."  When the mail merge wizard opens on the right, choose "labels."  Click "next"  Then choose label options.  Go in and tell it what type of labels you are using, etc.  You should be able to choose the Avery Label and # so it knows what it is printing on.  Then click "next" It should open up a page of blank labels and your next step should be choosing recipients.\n\nClick the "browse" link under "existing list" in the "select recipients" page.  Go through the browse and open your Excel mailing list.  Once you select that, you click "next" to arrange your labels.   There will be a group of options such as "address block" "greeting line" etc. on the right. Set up your "address block" on your labels by clicking the link then positioning it on the label where you want it.\n\nThen, choose the "more" link under the "address block" "greeting line" etc. and a window will pop up.  There will be a button it it that says "Match Fields."  Yours may work a little differently, but you need to find the "Match Fields" in case you need to tell Word which columns in your spreadsheet conatain what info.  For example, if you put the city, state, and zip in one column, you can go in and tell it to use that column for that part of the address.  This is where you tell Word which info to use for the labels.\n\nOnce you get all that meshed correctly, you should be able to preview your labels and all should be well.  If not, check back into the arrange labels part and fix what you need to fix.\n\nI hope that helps!

Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Full House, That's So Raven


i'm trying to come up with a good science project for my second grader but it is due tommorrow please help

You could test whether or not salt really does make water freeze more slowly or boil more quickly. Just get four containers of water--two for boiling and two for freezing--and a thermometer. \n\nWith one of the containers without salt, put a thermometer in it and boil and time how long it takes. Mark the boiling point temperature and time. \n\nDo the same thing but one of your containers with salt. Compare your temperatures and times.\n\nThen, you can do the same two steps with freezing with the other two containers.\n\nIf you wanted to get really crazy, you could test to see whether a lot of salt vs. a little amount of salt makes a difference. Or, if you wanted to tone it down, you could do only one--the boiling or the freezing. \n\nThis seems to me like concepts that a second grader could handle.\n\nGood luck!

what is the best security suit (for virus, trojans, spyware and intrusion attacks)?

Hi,\n\nIn my opinion, the best Security Suite is a product called Prevx1.  This is an All-in-one solution that protects users against Viruses, Adware, Spyware, Trojans, hackers, etc.  This means you no longer require a multi-layered protection of separate Virus / Spyware / Adware programs to protect you.\n\nTry out the 60 Day Trial they have on offer here:\nhttp://info.prevx.com/downloadremove.asp\n\nIn addition - Prevx1 is much better at protecting you SOONER from threats.  They have a unique form of real-time protection which doesn't require you to download new signatures to protect your PC.  Once one person has been affected by a new piece of malware - it is automatically determined by Prevx to be bad and then blocks it IMMEDIATELY from being run on any other machine in the world that has Prevx1 installed.  \n\nPretty clever. ;o)

how do i sign-in on yahoo mail in standard mode?

The wording of the message will vary depending on your flavor of web browser software, but typically you will have a checkbox on that pop-up warning that says something like...\n\n"Don't display this warning in the future."\n\nClick the checkbox to stop seeing it.\n\nOr, if the message has a twist, like...\n\n"Keep warning me about switching to secure sites."\n\nThen you want to UNCHECK that box.


Depends on the length of stay at this workplace.  Some companies will automatically sign you up for a benefit program after 90 days, or 6 months, etc.  If it was the filing period then yes this is completely legal.  However, if they did this early I suggest you seak legal counsel.


NEVER ever NEVER miss a chance to meet someone new, even if just to be friends there was obviously some chemistry being you both saw eachother more than once and were both too uncertain to make the first move, sometimes being a little more aggressive can pay off, just imagine if you would have just said hello and introduced yourself, you could have possibly at worst have a great new friend to hang with.. my personal advice for the future is you only live once and make the best of every experience you have in your life no matter what it is!! Good luck on your next chance at Mr So Hot!

What is the meaning of life ? If you don't know, tell me what is your point of the life ?

The meaning of life is to create meaning!  The answer is in the question.  Life has no meaning unless you make something out of it.  Otherwise you are just a speck, on a speck, on a speck.  It all means nothing, unless you value it.  One mans garbage is another man's treasure.  \n\nAnd the great thing is, the more you value it, the more your life becomes meaningful, and valuable to others as well!  \n\nIt all begins by asking these simple yet profound abstract questions.  They all have answers.  But once you have one answer three more questions pop up.  Ask those too!\n\nMy destiny is to answer this question!

I received a red light run ticket but it wasn't me driving. Do I have to say who was the driver of the car?

The government (in this case, the cop who wrote the ticket), always has the burden of proving their case (that *you* ran a red light).  You can show up for court and say nothing, if you like.  \n\nIf, after the cop testifies, you choose to speak, you can.  I'm assuming the cop has his/her reasons for thinking it was you driving, and I'd be willing to bet you contributed greatly to those reasons (switch seats with someone, did you?).\n\nNo, you (probably) don't have to say who the driver was.  The government has to prove that you were the driver and you are allowed to challenge that if you want to try, but it's still the government's burden to prove their case.  However, if you just show up and tell the judge "it wasn't me," you're not likely going to get very far.\n\nEDIT 4.19.06:\n\nSo you've answered your own question, haven't you?  The notice says you may (not must) say who the driver really was.\n\n???

How do I get out of my "invalid" Apt lease in MN?

Legally with most apts. in MN you need to give at least 60 days notice in writing.  This also has to be delivered to the apt manager at least 60 days prior to your lease being up.  What part of MN.  I am also having problems with my apt. manager.  Just curious to know.  I have never heard of your lease automatically renewing though.  Are you sure that it doesn't just go from the 1 year lease to a month to month lease.  Also, You said that you looked at your original lease, does it say anything in there about it automatically renewing itself?  If not they can not hold you to it.  They would need to file an addendum stating that you are renewing your lease.  You would have to sign this in order for you to be held to the contract.  These are just some thoughts, i don't want you to think that i am an expert or anything like that, because i am not.  But please let me know what part of MN, and the outcome\n\nThanks

what is the The Decree of the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15)?

The council was formed because there came a question about whether or not Gentiles had to be circumcised when they became Christians. The letter sent to the Gentiles is as follows...\n\nSince we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying "You must be circumcised and keep the law" - to whom we gave no such commandment - it seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will also report the same thing by word of mouth. For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you can keep yourselves from these, you will do well.\n\nFarewell.\n\nThis is NKJV. The need for it arised from some men from Judea going and teaching the Christians - "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."\n\nThe clarification given was that the sacrifice of Jesus was a release from the OT law, as is further explained in Galatians beginning in Chapter 3.

How do I stop those darn canker sores in my mouth.  The appear every other month!?

The easiest home remedy is to apply hydrogen peroxide (1 part hydrogen peroxide and one part water with a cotton swab) to the canker sore. Then dab a small amount of milk of magnesia on the canker 3-4 times a day. This is not only soothing, but appears to help healing.\n\nI think using a mouthwash such as listerine two to three times a day will keep the mouth clean/fresh and free of sores


Do you believe that George W. Bush will be known as the worst president in US History?

While he is one of the worst, he probably will not be remembered as such.  Remember the people that write the history actually write it the way that they want it to be remembered.  Also, comments like those made by Respiratory have seemed to prevail above truth with this President.  You have excellent facts stated above, however from past experience you are just going to get called names.  Logic does not apply to our current President and his followers.  Regardless of how many persuasive facts and arguments you present, they are just going to sneer and call you a liberal cry baby.  \n\nAnyway, you are correct...our country is in a mess and it is going to take a long time to straighten it out.

pls any one tell any site to download sample answers to GRE Issue and argument topics?

Sanddeep_tamma, it seems that Issue and Arguement relate to Rhetoric. \nIn my opinion I believe that you would chose an issue (controversial) and argue either for or against it.\nAlthough I am not certain of my reply's validity, this seems to be the case to me.\n\nIf this is the case I an including for your reading pleasure a paper that I researched and composed for my Rhetoric class. If this is not what you are looking for, well I tried.  \nReady? Wanna  Hear it? Here it goes.\n\nAn Argument against the Death Penalty\nIt seems forever that society has grappled with the dilemma of capital punishment.  Conceivable and acceptable at this time it may be, however this author finds harsh such an act, such as that of putting someone to death, without preservation, remorse or immediate human reflex.  It is the opinion of this author that our Creator did not appoint humanity to seek any such remedies in our societies efforts/struggles in our daily task of preventing crime, and therefore a more civil method should be explored and embraced by our society.  Capital punishment should be avoided as the ultimate sanction.  \nAlthough our society’s Criminal Justice System is as fair as can be acquired up to now, in my opinion, it is still not civilized to execute anyone under any circumstances and at this time, “Me as an author” presents the following reasons for my strong belief.\nFirst I am not in agreement with a sadistic rapist or killer, but I am also not in civil harmony when we as a society put to death (cold-blooded murder) a person of diminished mental capacity.  How many of these people have we executed in our life times?  For example is the case of Johnny Paul Penry.  John Paul was convicted of rape and murder; however, Penry’s intelligence quotient was evaluated at 60 on the IQ scale, and arrived on death row with a box of crayons and a coloring book as his sole possessions.  In my opinion, justice would have been better served if Penry had originally been sentenced to a life sentence without parole.  Containment is ours’ to dole, but not so an unnatural social vengeance.  Although Penry came near to being executed, this case has afforded us a closer look at a reality and who we really are. \nSecond in event is the case of Leonel Torres Hernandez; convicted of capital murder (Mercedes, Texas).  Hernandez was accused of shooting to death a Department of Public Safety trooper.  This author does not favor violence directed at anyone, much less to a public servant while in the tending to his or her duties.  The particulars of this case which are of concern to me and to skeptics of the death penalty are that a nephew of Leonel T.  Hernandez testified that it was not Leonel, which killed the officer, but that the real murderer was his own father.  Twice insensitive jurors did not accept this young man’s affidavits (testimony), and Leonel was finally executed in May of 1993.  “Was he innocent? Had something very wrong happened, just as Leonel said that it had?  A quote from the Prison Chaplain Carrol Pickett in attendance states, “I am doomed to forever wonder”.  “It is very evident that people are not sent to death row to rehabituate”, or so say proponents of extreme capital punishment; however, these supporters of the death penalty are incapable of feeling remorse in killing innocents. In my opinion, such people should not allow anger or bias to direct their behavior in approaching their civic activities or responsibilities, and so as the Prison Chaplain said, these people are (also) “doomed to forever wonder”, when it was optionally reasonable to sentence Hernandez to life without parole.\nThird in succession is the case of Carlos DeLuna, a 27-year-old native from Corpus Christi, Texas sentenced to death for capital murder.  “Will the needles hurt?” \n“Chaplain, will you please hold my hand as I am dying?”  And so were the last words of DeLuna when he once more asked the preacher to hold his hand

i keep lossing my erection when havin sex with my wife ,why ?

This could be a number of things. Age could be a factor; boredom; stress; lack of exercise. First identify what has changed in your life from the time when you had no erectile problems to now. It's hard to say unless you give more information. I can only speculate. However, it could be one of the above reasons. Ask your self the following questions; "am I happy with my sex life?", "am I bored with the same old sex routine?", "do I still find my wife attractive?", "are there any health problems that may be causing an erectile problem?". You should get a physical done, any way, just to see if every thing is working optimally. If that checks out fine, then look into any psychological possibilities. Good luck!


If a solution had an OH- = 3.00x10e-10 moles/liter, what would the pH value of this solution be?

pH = -log[H+]\n\nand\n\n[H+][OH-] = 1*10^-14\n\nwhere [ ] means concentration of.\n\n\nSo, to work out [H+], you divide 1*10^-14 by 3*10^-10 to get  3.33333*10^-5\n\nTake the -log of this, and you get 4.477.\n\nThe pH is 4.477.\n\nAll logs are in base 10.

Why do they show the 10 Commandments on Easter?

The film has to do with Passover, which also occurs around Easter.  \n\nThe Passover remembers the time when Jews were set free from slavery by the Pharoah who has just experienced the worst of a series of plagues. The eldest son in each home was killed by the Spirit except those homes which had the blood of a lamb sprinkled on the doorposts.  The Spirit "passed over" those homes and that family was safe.

how do you report somone that has violated hippa?


Personally, I think the best way to please me and to have simultaneous climax is to make sure you're stimulating the clitoris while you are having sex. I've found the two best ways for me is with the man on top if he moves upward so that his pelvic bone is stimulating the clitoris and I move my hips up that way he can feel me getting more excited and I can feel him and then we find a rhythm together. Since it's usually harder for women to orgasm the man usually has to wait for the woman to start and then kinda let themselves go when they feel her kinda tighten and make more noise. The other position that works for me is spooning. I can keep my legs together which gets more stimulation and he or I can also use our hands to help stimulate the clitoris.


Sure seems to be! A bit cleaner though. :)


why are countries with 4 seasons more progressive than those with only wet and dry seasons?

I don't agree with that conclusion.\n\nIf what you said were true, then it would follow that states with four seasons would, similarly, be more progressive, correct?\n\nHowever, Southern California is a desert, and also one of the more progressive areas in America.\n\nI belive you're confusing cause and effect.  Many of the countries in similar regions (and thus with similar weather patterns) will share political and societal ideas.  However, the two are not related.


I'm having an MRI tomorrow.  Any hints/helps?

Request an open MRI if it is available where you are going to have it done.  It is a much less closed in atmosphere and I find that many of the patients with anxiety over a regular MRI find this a suitable alternative. Also make sure you tech is aware that you anticipate having a difficult time.  One last thing, traditional relaxation and self talk is always a plus. A calming scent on a tissue, etc. Anything that works for you. Good luck!

In the game of Craps what are the odds of getting my point or 7 or 11 , twelve times in a row.?

You are dealing with probabilities here and your odds are going to be exponential. But here is what I have for you.\n\nOdds in rolling a:\n4 = 1/12\n5 = 1/9\n6 = 5/36\n7 or 11 = 2/9\n8 = 5/36\n9 = 1/9\n10 = 1/12\n\nNow for each roll after that you would take the odds and times it to the "n" power, where "n" is the number of the roll. So to roll any of these numbers 12 times in a row would mean taking the fraction to the 12th power. Below are those answers. (Hope you understand scientific notation.)\n\n(1/12)^12 = 1.13876838470415E+55\n(1/9)^12  = 1.13771030934265E+55\n(5/36)^12 = 5.1524055910299E-11\n(2/9)^12  = 1.14868734219891E+55\n\nIn other words you would be more likely to win the lottery several times before this would happen. Hope this helps.

Then we climbed quickly into the car because we didn't want to burn our feet!!!! That is probably the nicest thing I have done for a stranger!

Why do people say 'Bob's your uncle' and who was Bob?

[Q] From Florence C Goold: “What is the origin and actual meaning of bob’s your uncle?”\n[A] This is a catchphrase which seemed to arise out of nowhere and yet has had a long period of fashion and is still going strong. It’s known mainly in Britain and Commonwealth countries, and is really a kind of interjection. It’s used to show how simple it is to do something: “You put the plug in here, press that switch, and Bob’s your uncle!”.\nThe most attractive theory—albeit suspiciously neat—is that it derives from a prolonged act of political nepotism. The Victorian prime minister, Lord Salisbury (family name Robert Cecil, pronounced ) appointed his rather less than popular nephew Arthur Balfour to a succession of posts. The most controversial, in 1887, was chief secretary of Ireland, a post for which Balfour—despite his intellectual gifts—was considered unsuitable. The Dictionary of National Biography says: “The country saw with something like stupefaction the appointment of the young dilettante to what was at the moment perhaps the most important, certainly the most anxious office in the administration”. As the story goes, the consensus among the irreverent in Britain was that to have Bob as your uncle was a guarantee of success, hence the expression. Since the very word nepotism derives from the Italian word for nephew (from the practice of Italian popes giving preferment to nephews, a euphemism for their bastard sons), the association here seems more than apt.\nActually, Balfour did rather well in the job, confounding his critics and earning the bitter nickname Bloody Balfour from the Irish, which must have quietened the accusations of undue favouritism more than a little (he also rose to be Prime Minister from 1902–5). There is another big problem: the phrase isn’t recorded until 1937, in Eric Partridge’s Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English. Mr Partridge suggested it had been in use since the 1890s, but nobody has found an example in print. This is surprising. If public indignation or cynicism against Lord Salisbury’s actions had been great enough to provoke creation of the saying, why didn’t it appear—to take a case—in a satirical magazine of the time such as Punch?\nA rather more probable, but less exciting, theory has it that it derives from the slang phrase all is bob, meaning that everything is safe, pleasant or satisfactory. This dates back to the seventeenth century or so (it’s in Captain Francis Grose’s Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue of 1785). There have been several other slang expressions containing bob, some associated with thievery or gambling, and from the eighteenth century on it was also a common generic name for somebody you didn’t know. Any or all of these might have contributed to its genesis.

A fortnight is a unit of time equal to two weeks: that is 14 days, or literally 14 nights. The term is common in British English, Hiberno-English and Australian English, but rarely used in American English. It derives from the Old English feowertiene niht, meaning "fourteen nights".


im 13 of age what would be the nomal weight 2 wigh at my age??

It would not only depend on your height and weight, but also on your level of fitness.  If you workout or play sports you can gain weight by increasing the size of your muscles. This happens to a lot of people when they start to work out, and can't understand why they're not losing weight.  It's because you're gaining muscle mass!  Please don't use those height and weight charts...they are very misleading.  Talk with your doctor, between the two of you, you can decide what is a "normal" weight for you at your age, activity level and physical health.  \n\nMost important thing is to be happy with yourself.

how can i open my third eye , all methods seem so impossible?

Here is a fairly easy technique, good luck!\n\n\nDay 1 - Opening the third eye - Seeing Colours\n \nColours are very important as they are frequencies who's meanings you should learn. Colours have tones and over tones - for example - blue as a variety of colour frequencies from deepest blue to light blue - each colour having a different frequency. You will soon learn to understand what the colour frequencies represent. \n\nPreparation: \n\nGet some magic makers or crayons - if they are available - some paper to write on - or a journal for each experience you have. If using a computer journal - be sure to insert a disc before you begin - then save to disc immediately. \n\nIn your journal write - date - time - what you saw - anything else that seems important to you at the time. \n\nFind a quiet place free of distractions... \n\nGet comfortable... \n\nClose your eyes... \n\nRelax your mind and body... \n\nFocus on your breathing... \n\nInhale slowly and deeply through your nose... \n\nRetain the breath as long as is comfortable... \n\nExhale through the mouth slowly and completely... \n\nRepeat for two more breaths... or as is comfortable. \n\nFor those who don't know this... when awake we experience in the 'Beta' state... \n\nRelaxed breathing takes you go into the 'Alpha' state... \n\nFocus your mind to look forward as if viewing a screen... \n\nYour third eye - will begin to open... \n\nYou are going to look for a colour - any colour. \n\nYou may initially see 'black' - but be patient - \n\nyou will eventually see a colour. \n\nKeep watching the screen... \n\nA colour will manifest... \n\nOnce you have experienced the colour - stop for today... \n\nArchive the colour you saw. \n\nNow let's try to find out why you were shown this colour... \n\nWe are going to look at several things about that colour - \n\nHow it relates to your chakras - Did you activate the chakra connected to that colour? Does the related area of your body need healing? \n\nThe meaning of the colour - Why you think you were shown that colour today? \n\nIf you have been shown a colour that is not part of the current spectrum for the human eye - then you have already moved into the higher frequencies. Describe the colour in your notes as best you can. You will see it again. \n\nYou may want use magic markers or crayons to try to draw the colour. If you are practicing this technique - allow your marker to draw the colour first as a line - then create a shape - or whatever else your mind feels like drawing with it. Do not worry about interpreting what you have draw. We will come back and do that later. \n\nIf you have seen two colours do the same for each one. Do no more than two colours today. \n\n  \nDay 2 - Seeing Shapes\n\nToday we will begin to look for shapes or images. \n\nEveryone 'sees' images or shapes after closing their eyes a few minutes - though most people don't pay attention to the images because their are not programmed to look at images. \n\nThe images can come from several sources - your higher self - your spirit guides - other entities. \n\nIt takes time to learn who is sending you the messages - but there is no hurry! \n\nSitting quietly - your mind free of diversions and clutter - take one or more slow deep breaths - \n\nFocus on the screen in your mind... \n\nA colour of some sort should come into view. \n\nColours generally precede images. \n\nKeep watching the colour... \n\nRelax... Breath deeply again... \n\nSlowly your colour will either add additional colours or turn into a shape of its own. \n\nYou may or may not recognize the shape. \n\nMake a mental note of the shape as it may be an archetype that your cellular memory has set in for you at this time. \n\nIf the shape does not become animated then stop and draw what you saw. \n\nIf it does start to move - note everything it does until it stops. \n\nHere is an example - I am looking at the colour red. The shape that formed is a 'pea


What is the best way to treat a 2nd degree sunburn? I don't think that aloe vera is working.?

You should see a doctor. If the burn is that bad you are probably suffering from exposure and dehydration, possibly heat or sun stroke. Check to see if you are running a fever. You can go into shock over something like this and that is nothing to fool around with. I would definitely see a doctor. Never mind the home remedies. That's okay if you are dealing with a small area, like the back of your neck or your the arm you left on the window of your car for too long. If it is your arms legs and back, SEE A DOCTOR. Sorry for raising my voice, but this can be very serious.

define the term contracption and conception?

Contraception is the prevention of unwanted pregnancy, which can be achieved in many ways eg. hormonal pills, barrier methods, intrauterine devices (coils).\n\nConception is the start of pregnancy, when a male germ cell (sperm) fertilises a female germ cell (ovum/egg) in the fallopian tube.

Do you trust telephone or cellphone surveys?

I am a market research interviewer and I understand how answering questions like age, gender and salary can make you feel uncomfortable. We are actually not allowed to ask the question "what is your gender?" We answer that question ourselves by simply guessing your gender by the sound of your voice, it's considered rude to come out and ask that question. You are allowed to refuse to answer any questions, especially including age and salary. The age question isn't as bad because they are age RANGES, such as "Are you...18-25 years old, 26-35 years old...etc". The salary questions are ranges also, but the interviewer can still see whether you make a lot or not. Some surveys need your age range in order to qualify for the remainder of the survey, but you don't have to answer the questions if you don't want to and it will simply go down as a "REF" (refused) or "DK" (don't know).\nYou can always ask questions about their business - such as what their company's mission statement is, questions about their alliances and partnerships, and other questions that legitimate interviewers would be able to answer for you.

Why is it that some people are so rascist?

Kimmyisahotbabe says it : most people like to be polite to everyone who doesn't spit in their face, but it's only superficial.  At the nitty-gritty level we all like to be with our own kind.  The only way to break out of this is to get sexually hooked on someone of another race- most civil rights people are this way.  The people on top of the racial totem pole are the whites - and it is they who invented racism as an evil, when it's really a healthy and natural thing.  Strange, no?

If you lived separated from the opposite sex (AS IN ISLAM), and SPENT 99% OF LIFE WITH MEN, MIGHT YOU GO GAY?

Well, I can tell you that I know first hand.. prior to being deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq soldiers were briefed on the extremely prevalence of homosexuality in those countries.. particularly in Afghanistan where the Taliban's rule was so strict about mingling with women and such.. as you described in your question.  This is a huge secret kept from the American people because we might OFFEND our precious Muslim allies should this information get out.  Soldiers were literally ORDERED not to talk about such information with the public.  However, I am serious as a heart attack.  Especially in Afghanistan, but all throughout the strict Muslim world, it is not at all uncommon that men will have sex with men for pleasure.  There is usually no love involved, and I'm sure that Akmed would behead you if you called him gay, but it is extremely prevalent and is often considered acceptable or natural.  The women in those societies are strictly off limits, even the wives (except for reproduction purposes).  One of the biggest problems our soldiers encountered on the ground in Afghanistan was the super high AIDS/HIV rate of the common people, particularly in men.  Furthermore, I know first hand that one of the most difficult things for United States soldiers running those prisons was to keep the Muslim men from having sex with one another all the time.  Our medical troops would test and label who was and who was not HIV positive, only to test a few weeks later and have new cases within the prisons.  It was hell trying to keep the right people separated from one another because of room constraints and the fact that they wouldn't keep their hands off of each other behind closed doors.  Another issue was that terrorists would recruit young boys to fight the coalition forces, and after liberated, there was strong evidence that many of the young boys had been sleeping with and having sex with their elder captors, as a sort of friendship or loyalty thing.  Of course, in reality it mounted to child rape.  It was--and I am sure still is-- a disgusting phenomena within those countries.  I'm sure you've all seen the Iraq prison torture pictures with all the naked Muslim men performing sex acts.. it got the US in big trouble last year... well I sometimes wondered how "uncomfortable" some of those men were.  Furthermore, hasn't Bin Laden been hanging out in a cave for years now with only a bunch of male lieutenants and man servants as companions?  Also, haven't you noticed how every single time a video surfaces from one of the terrorists leaders our CIA issues a statement about that person's apparent health, which usually includes liver problems, obvious nerve damage etc.  I don't think they are chugging corn whiskey or sipping acid in the desert, so liver and organ problems no doubt points to Hepatitis-C, syphilis, or other STDs.  Check out some of the articles compiled on the sites below if you are still skeptical after reading this!


I agree. If you want to come into the US you do it legally and you have to obay our laws. OOPs you already broke one. You came here illegally. Laws are for a reason. If everyone got way with breaking laws the US would be like the Country you are trying to flee.


First you need to ask yourself if you have any reason to believe that measurements of nitrogen oxide [chemical formula -- Just say "NO"] emissions across different cars should be normally distributed.  Since this is a statistics problem, we assume that the answer is yes.\n\nThen you compute the sample mean (the sum of those seven measurements, divided by seven) and the sample variance (the sum of (x - sample mean)^2 for those seven measurements x, all divided by six).  The sample standard deviation is then the square root of the sample variance.\n\nFinally, you look up on your table or with your calculator or wherever what "Z score" corresponds to 98% of the area under the normal pdf curve being between\n\n(mean - Z standard deviations, mean + Z standard deviations)\n\nThey want to know if that upper bound is less than 0.165 grams / mile [a peculiar mix of metric and non-metric units].\n\nThat's probably how they want you to solve it.  Compare that to the Bayesian approach (Google for it).

Catholics only please. Is it a sin to cuss if you are Catholic?

In your question, the only person in danger of going to hell is perhaps your fundamentalist friend by placing judgement upon the priest. Didn't Jesus tell us not to judge? Remember that whole throw the first stone story? I truly believe God has more to be concerned about than the s-word or f-word, provided it isn't being used to verbally harm other people. I sincerely doubt your priest used the word to call someone a s-head or along those lines. \n\nAs well, I went to Catholic school for 14 years in total (JK-12) and while swearing could get you into trouble, I never heard that it would send you to hell. Plus, there's an obvious difference in swearing if you make a mistake or swearing at someone to insult them. By doing that you are, in turn, insulting God. But God is also forgiving. I would be wary of your fundamentalist friend.

Who was the runner up in the first ever Wimbeldon grand slam?

The first Wimbledon tournament was played in 1877.\nThere was a field of 22, with one withdrawal.\nAs a result, there were three semi-finalists instead of four: William Marshall received a bye through the final, but was beaten by W. Spencer Gore (6-1 6-2 6-4).\n\nThe first professional Wimbledon (generally considered the first modern Wimbledon, because it was truly "open" in that amateurs and pros could take part) was held in 1968. Rod Laver beat Tony Roche in an all-Australian final 6-3 6-4 6-2.


R.N (nursing) distance learning school for health care workers?

I am in the same boat. I  did know of a school but can't remeber the name, but you pretty much had to be a LPN to go into nursing, and it also depends on the state you live in due to licencses policy. However, I suggest you take all prerequisites  check you local community college for online, or distance learning courses first then do clinicals when you are able to make the time.Try typing in RN training online see what happens! Good Luck.

is there anyway to make dentures white again?

has there ever been a experiment were a man carried a baby to term?

No, but it's not impossible- A widely held, but incorrect, belief is that the fetus must implant in the uterus.  The uterus is an excellent place for implantation, but the fetus drives formation of the placenta/umbilical cord, which can form on any vascularized tissue. This is the case in ectopic pregnancies-they are dangerous, but possible. It has been shown in male dogs that a fetal puppy can implant and grow on the external wall of the intestine, and develop-but the experiment was not taken to term.  There has never been an experiment reported in which a fetus was implanted in a man.  Theoretically it would be possible to grow a fetus in a man to the point that the fetus could be removed and kept alive ex vivo.  It would be dangerous for the man because of the massive growth in vascularization on any tissue the fetus implants, and the chance for bleeding, and since the man doesnt have the same hormones the fetal brain would likely develop significantly differently, but the end answer is that there is no physiological reason it is not possible.  I doubt, however, that it could be taken to term without serious danger to the man.

How does an independent get on the ballot?

It would depend on your local States requirements as far as signatures on petitions are concerned as well as the office running for.  The populous state of California may have a higher number of signatures required than say North Dakota or Wyoming.  There is also a filing fee, in which for some offices is one charge with petitions and another without, however in the case of Federal Offices I am sure there is something a little more standardized than you will find for more local elections.  You must also have someone selected as treasurer or a responsible party for reporting all contributions to your campaign and how the money is spent, what is left over or how much debt the campaign has.  Best of luck with your paper.  You can contact your local county election office or the state in which you reside for more detailed information.

The "L" in L-Dopa refers to "levorotatory", meaning that the molecule rotates plane polarized light counterclockwise. The "L" is sometimes written as (-). The opposite is dextrorotatory ("D" or "+"), which rotates plane polarized light clockwise.\n\nYou cannot use "L" to predict whether the molecule is an "S" or an "R" enationmer. They are seperate things.\n\nThe "R" and "S" refer to the arrangement of the atoms around the chiral center. The "L" and "D" refer to the direction that the molecule rotates plane polarized light. All chiral carbons will therefore carry an "R/S" and a "D/L" distiction, but both indicate different things.\n\nYou did the correct thing in determining the R/S configuration by assigning priorities to the 4 groups connected to the chiral carbon and so on and so forth. The L/D distinction can only be determined experimentally.


Do you believe in god? Creation vs. Evoloution? The Da Vinci code?

I believe in God and I believe that He created everything in 6 literal 24 hour days.. \n\nI believe in evolution in the sense that I know things change within a species.  Very small changes over time.  Changes from one species to another are degenerative, so I don't believe in macro evolution.\n\nI've not read the Da Vinci code, but if it differs from the Bible (and from what I've heard it differs greatly), I don't believe in it.\n\nI've studied evolution.  I've doubted my Christian upbringing in the past. I've had life experiences that almost cost me my faith.  My faith in God is not born of convenience or lack of will, but it's also too hard to answer in this little box in any kind of way that would likely make sense to you.\n\nThe simplest reason I have for believing in God, is that if He does not exist, where does love come from?  I don't mean attraction, but sacrificial love.  The love a parent feels for a child.  Beyond instinct.  Where does love come from?


Are the people of west satisfied with their life in this mother father free society? Is it the right way?

Children living in safe loving homes and being provided for has to be the minimum standard. We should not condemn single parent families, in fact we should realize the difficulty they face and support and assist them when possible

what is the best treatment for pityriasis versicolor?

Products applied to the skin—creams, shampoos, or solutions—are effective treatments for the fungus that causes tinea versicolor. However, if the rash is severe, covers large areas of your body, returns often, or does not get better with topical treatment, antifungal pills may be prescribed. While treatment kills the fungi quickly, it can take months for the spots to disappear and your skin color to return to normal.\n\nTreatment is usually needed to prevent the rash from spreading and to improve the appearance of your skin. If left untreated, tinea versicolor may linger until you are 50 or 60 years old, when the skin becomes less oily. \n\nGenerally, creams, shampoos, and solutions are thought to be safer than antifungal pills because they mostly affect only your skin. However, topical treatments: \n\nCan be inconvenient and messy. \nMay sting and/or smell bad. \nMay be just as expensive as pills. \nCan take a long time to apply, especially if the rash covers a large area of your body. \n\nHome Treatment:\n\n\n\nTinea versicolor can be treated at home with topical products such as antifungal creams, shampoos, and solutions. After treatment is started, it can take months for the spots to disappear and for your skin color to return to normal. Although tinea versicolor can usually be treated successfully with medications, the rash may return within 1 or 2 years.\n\nWhen using creams, shampoos, or solutions, follow the directions closely. You usually need to use these products for 1 to 2 weeks. If your skin becomes irritated, stop using the product.\n\nTo prevent tinea versicolor from returning, use a topical product once a month. Prescribed antifungal pills can be used once a month to prevent the rash from returning but are usually not necessary.\n\nBecause the medication in antifungal pills comes to the surface of your skin through sweat, you'll get the best results if it is not washed off too soon. Your doctor may recommend that, after taking your antifungal pill, you exercise briskly and long enough to sweat, and then wait 12 hours to shower.\n\nFor more information on the medications used to treat tinea versicolor, see the Treatment Overview section of this topic.\n\nSome health professionals believe fungi that remain in clothing may cause the rash to return. Normal washing and cleaning is usually effective in removing fungi from clothes, but for persistent tinea versicolor, you may need to dry clean your clothes or wash them in the hottest possible water.

THE RELIGION OF ISLAM\nThe first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word "Islam" itself means.\n\nThe religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named after a tribe like Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam is the true religion of "Allah" and as such, its name represents the central principle of Allah's "God's" religion; the total submission to the will of Allah "God". The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's will to the only true god worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a "Muslim", The word also implies "peace" which is the natural consequence of total submission to the will of Allah. Hence, it was not a new religion brought by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in Arabia in the seventh century, but only the true religion of Allah re-expressed in its final form.\n\nIslam is the religion which was given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of Allah, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind. The name of God's religion Islam was not decided upon by later generations of man. It was chosen by Allah Himself and clearly mentioned in His final revelation to man. In the final book of divine revelation, the Qur'an, Allah states the following:\n"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion". (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:3)\n\n"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah (God) never will It be accepted of Him" (Surah Aal'imraan 3:85)\n\n"Abraham was not a Jew nor Christian; but an upright Muslim."\n(Surah Aal'imraan 3:67)\n\nNowhere in the Bible will you find Allah saying to Prophet Moses' people or their descendants that their religion is Judaism, nor to the followers of Christ that their religion is Christianity. In fact, Christ was not even his name, nor was it Jesus! The name "Christ" comes from the Greek word Christos which means the anointed. That is, Christ is a Greek translation of the Hebrew title "Messiah". The name "Jesus" on the other hand, is a latinized version of the Hebrew name Esau.\n\nFor simplicity's sake, I will however continue to refer to Prophet Esau (PBUH) as Jesus. As for his religion, it was what he called his followers to. Like the prophets before him, he called the people to surrender their will to the will of Allah; (which is Islam) and he warned them to stay away from the false gods of human imagination.\n\nAccording to the New Testament, he taught his followers to pray as follows: "Yours will be done on earth as it is in Heaven".\nTHE MESSAGE OF ISLAM\n\nSince the total submission of one's will to Allah represents the essence of worship, the basic message of Allah's divine religion, Islam is the worship of Allah alone and the avoidance of worship directed to any person, place or thing other than Allah. Since everything other than Allah, the Creator of all things, is Allah's creation; it may be said that Islam, in essence calls man away from the worship of creation and invites him to worship only its Creator. He is the only one deserving man's worship as it is only by His will that prayers are answered. If man prays to a tree and his prayers are answered, it was not the tree which answered his prayers but Allah who allowed the circumstances prayed for to take place. One might say, "That is obvious," however, to tree-worshippers it might not be. Similarly, prayers to Jesus, Buddha, or Krishna, to Saint Christopher, or Saint Jude or even to Muhammad, are not answered by them but are answered by Al

California cannot fall into the ocean.  If you look at a cross section from, say, Nevada to the Pacific Ocean, you will see that California is well supported.\n\n"Beachfront property in Arizona"\n\nThe idea of California falling into the ocean has had an enduring appeal to those envious of life in the Golden State. Of course, the ocean is not a great hole into which California can fall, but it is itself land at a somewhat lower elevation with water above it. The motion of plates will not make California sink -- California is moving horizontally along the San Andreas fault and up around the Transverse Ranges.

what are the effects of fizzy drinks on bones and what are the disorders caused by these in the long term?

Here's a start--\n\nThe bones mostly affected by sodas are your teeth.  The acids eat away enamel and then deteriorate your chompers.  \n\nYou need a real tooth.  Take photos of the tooth.  Then drop it in a glass of Coke.  Periodically take photos of how much the tooth "magically disappears."  Voila!  You've just shown how bad soda is for you.


Who is the better long range shooter Micheal Jordan or Kobe bryant?

It is a difficult question. Kobe certainly relies on the jump shot for more of his points, but I don't think that Jordan scored the majority of his points within 15 feet of the rim like you say. Both these players are masters of the pull up jump shot, and both are not very good three point shooters (around 37% on average). I would have to give Michael Jordan the edge due to the fact that he had better shot selection than Kobe shows now and an overall better field goal percentage, which is a key aspect of whether a person is a good shooter.
