Why are so many people obsessed on downloading free software?

The real answer is that copying software and music or movies is not stealing. It is copyright infringement, which is not a criminal offense. Stealing a CD or DVD from a store is actually stealing. It is a criminal offense. Stealing a CD deprives the artist, store owner, and label of the profit that they would have gotten by selling the CD. Copying music and downloading the file only deprives them of money if the person downloading would have purchased the music otherwise, which is almost never the case.\n\nSo don't equate copyright infringement with stealing, because it is a much lesser offense. The music industry likes to use the terms "stealing," "piracy," and "theft," because it uses language to subconsciously alter how people are thinking about the problem. Don't fall into that trap.\n\nThat said, copyright infringement *is* a civil offense that is illegal. I don't think people are closet thieves, I just think that the actual value of the products that these people are producing is far less than the cost, and people feel justified in downloading it because they feel somewhat overcharged for the music they do purchase.

whats the first gauge, to stretch from a regular piercing in the ear? some one told me it was 12,is that true?

Stretching is a long term committed process- it is not done fast or all at once! You strech fully healed piercings one gauge at a time, and you can only stretch every 2 months or so to do it right. Sometimes at the first few sizes (14g to 12g) you can stretch after about 1 month, and once you hit larger sizes- 1/2" or bigger, waiting even longer is recommended, up to 4- 6 months in some cases. If you stretch more than one gauge or faster than this you can tear, damage, or blow-out your tissue, leaving bad looking scars, purple or damaged skin, or bleeding.\n\nWhen you wear jewelry in any piercing all the time, the hole itself will be loose enough to allow for jewery one size bigger fairly easily. The new bigger size fits tight at first, but over the course of the next two months, it loosens up again, and will allow you to put in the next bigger size again, etc. A taper can be used to aid in putting the jewelry into the piercing, but is not meant to force skin open that will not let it. Stretching is not a forceful process.\n\nWhen getting to very large sizes there are some other techniques that help, like taping.

Do you ever feel like someone is watching you even when no one is around?

Is the most horrible feeling ever, but you wont believe what happened to me, I had that feeling, and it caused me even to get insomnia, because I was paranoid about that feeling. One day I told a catholic priest about it, and he arranged a visit to my house, he told me that sometimes bad energy is concentrated in different places, and they needed to be clensed, so he did, he prayed, sprayed holy water, and prayed a little more. That night, I slept peacefully, the feelings were gone, and sweetie, let me tell you something, i am not even a Catholic... but that helped..


NAME: Rachel Carson \n BIRTHDATE: May 27, 1907 \n BIRTHPLACE: Springdale, PA \n EDUCATION:  \n1925- entered Pennsylvania College for Women (now Chatham College) \n1929- graduated with honors, earning a scholarship to continue her studies at Johns Hopkins \nUniversity in Baltimore, MD. \n1932- M.A. in Zoology from John Hopkins University. \n FAMILY BACKGROUND: The youngest of three children, Rachel Carson had a rugged upbringing in a simple farmhouse outside the western Pennsylvania river town of Springdale. She credited her mother with introducing her to the world of nature that became her lifelong passion. \n DESCRIPTION OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS: After completing her education, Carson joined the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries as the writer of a radio show entitled "Romance Under the Waters," in which she was able to explore life under the seas and bring it to listeners. In 1936, after being the first woman to take and pass the civil service test, the Bureau of Fisheries hired her as a full-time junior biologist, and over the next 15 years, she rose in the ranks until she was the chief editor of all publications for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. \nDuring the 1940s, Carson began to write books on her observations of life under the sea, a world as yet unknown to the majority of people. She resigned from her government position in 1952 in order to devote all her time to writing. The idea for her most famous book, Silent Spring, emerged, and she began writing it in 1957. It was published in 1962, and influenced President Kennedy, who had read it, to call for testing of the chemicals mentioned in the book. Carson has been called the mother of the modern environmental movement. \n DATE OF DEATH: April 14, 1964 \n PLACE OF DEATH: Her home in Silver Spring, MD \n PORTRAYED BY: Celeste Earhart \n WEB SITES: \nRachel Carson Homestead \nRachel Carson Council \nRachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge\nRachel Carson Forum - a center for "new ideas and opinions about environmental issues facing Pennsylvania." \nFormer Vice-President Al Gore's Introduction to the 1994 reissue of Silent Spring \nRachel Carson is a charter inductee into the Ecology Hall of Fame \n BIBLIOGRAPHY: \n1941-Under the Sea Wind \n1943-Food From the Sea: Fish and Shellfish of New England \n1944-Food From the Sea: Fish and Shellfish of the South Atlantic \n1951-The Sea Around Us \n1955-The Edge of the Sea \n1962-Silent Spring \n1965-The Sense of Wonder (posthumous) \n QUOTE: \nIt is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know the sense of wonder and humility.

Sponges (from Latin porus "pore" and ferre "to bear") are animals of the phylum Porifera. They are primitive, sessile, mostly marine, waterdwelling filter feeders that pump water through their matrix to filter out particulates of food matter. Sponges are among the simplest of animals. With no true tissues (parazoa), they lack muscles, nerves, and internal organs. Their similarity to colonial choanoflagellates shows the probable evolutionary jump from unicellular to multicellular organisms. There are over 5,000 modern species of sponges known, and they can be found attached to surfaces anywhere from the intertidal zone to as deep as 8,500 m (29,000 feet) or further. Though the fossil record of sponges dates back to the Precambrian era, new species are still commonly discovered.\n\nThe structure of a sponge is simple: it is shaped like a tube, with one end stuck to a rock or other object and an open end, the osculum, open to the environment. The spongocoel, or interior of the sponge, is composed of walls perforated with microscopic pores that allow water to flow through the spongocoel.

How many cubic yards of  dirt  would it take to raise one acre of land  eighteen inches?

It depends on whether the acre is being measured as a "regular" acre or a "commercial" acre.  If it's a regular acre it would be 2,420 cubic yards.  If it's a commercial acre than it would only be 2,000 cubic yards.  Big difference, you'll want to get an exact measure.... and probably ask this question in one of the math sections instead of the English sections to get a more exact answer.

why is the voltage supplied by the central electricity board usually a factor of 11,eg 110v,220v ?

They aren't always a factor of 11, just the electrical systems in residences are the range you stated but there are 480v, 208, etc.  It isn't for any particular reason that i know of although i'm sure when they adopted the system they had their reasoning, but it has nothing to do with the number of 11.  Just the reason they use 120/240 is that you can just use a 2 box circuit breaker to get your 240 without requiring a transformer (expensive) and NEC requirements for that one that would make the cost much more expensive

The most basic way to control body odour is to use deodorant soap and water. Scrub those areas of the body that tend to smell, such as the armpits and groin. Some people may benefit from showering in the morning and evening because the sweat glands and bacteria are active during the night as well as the day. You should also try using soap that contains tea tree oil because it has antibacterial properties. Wear clean cloths made from natural fabrics such as cotton. It absorbs perspiration better than synthetic materials. \n\nWhen hygiene isn't the answer,doctors suggest that the problem may be caused by inadequate digestion, metabolism or elimination. Take a close look at your diet. Start by eliminating dairy products and eating lots of green leafy vegetables. Alternative medicine experts suggest drinking an ounce of wheatgrass juice daily on an empty stomach. (Look for it in health food restaurants like Nude.) The chlorophyll may make a difference. Also drink lots of water and try taking some saunas or steam baths a couple of times a week.\n\nFor other types of body odour, there could be a medical cause, and doctors can check you using a helicobacter for stomach ulcers that can also cause an ammonia-like body odour.\n\nBy\nsuresh kumar M.P.T.,M.I.S.C.P.\nCHARTERED PHYSIOTHERAPIST\nskmpt2002@yahoo.co.uk


why does the foam from soda disapper faster than the foam from beer?

I have a lump right below my armpit. I squeezed it and pus and blood came out. Anything to worry about?

This happened to me once, only it was a bigger lump than your average pimple, and I didn't squeeze it like you did. I asked my doctor about it and she said it was more than likely a cyst caused by an ingrown hair due to irritation of the hair follicle caused by either too much shaving or shaving with a product that irritated my skin. She said that it would go away on its own (and suggested I not shave on that side for a few weeks to limit the irritation, which I heeded because I really wanted it to go away) and within about a month, it was all gone! If it seems like it's just a pimple then it probably is one, but if it's bigger than that it never hurts to check with a doctor!

Can anyone tell me ANYTHING about Dixon California????

Dixon combines a proud tradition of agricultural production reaching back to the 1860s with a contemporary vision as a thriving residential community and emerging business center. From its earliest beginnings this city has been the commercial and transportation hub of the fertile agricultural region of northern Solano County, in California's Sacramento Valley. Today, Dixon is a businessfriendly city in the fastest growing of the nine San Francisco Bay Area counties.\n\nDixon maintains small town charm while reaping the benefits of its ideal location between Sacramento and San Francisco, the two most dynamic metropolitan areas in Northern California. Transportation and commerce continue to play a defining role given Dixon's location along the growing Interstate 80 and continental railway corridor. Reasonable land prices and an affordable cost of living make Dixon a perfect place to live, work, and locate a business.\n\nDixon embraces an old fashioned way of life. Imagine well kept neighborhoods and tree-lined streets. On a balmy summer night, a backyard barbecue or a pick up game of softball in one of Dixon's well-maintained parks is a common sight. It's a community where neighbors know each other and look out for one another. Dixon schools have a good reputation, and are a safe place for learning and growth. And, located just five miles away is the University of California at Davis, one of the top research universities in the country. Two hours or less from Dixon are three of the most beautiful spots in California – Lake Tahoe, the Napa and Sonoma wine region and the rugged Northern Californian Coast

googled to find this:\n\n"The Moon, at first, will recede further and further from the Earth, but the two bodies will continue to orbit about their common centre of gravity. Around 600,000,000 years from now, the Moon will be too far away for total eclipses to occur.\n\nHowever, this process won't continue indefinitely - as Mike Sawicki points out in his Myths About Tides and Gravity:\n\nOnce the Earth becomes tidally locked with the Moon, the solar tides will tend to slow the Earth’s rotation even more, so the day will be longer than the month and the Moon will rise in the West and set in the East. The water spheroid generated by the Sun will cause the high tide to appear earlier than the time of highest moon ... Then the tidal force of Earth on the Moon will pull the Moon into a lower orbit and eventually inside the Roche limit (18500 km), whereupon the Moon will disintegrate producing a ring round the Earth."\n\nWhatever happens, we won't be around to know!

420(pronounced four twenty, not four hundred and twenty), was police code for smoking marijuana in a feature on pager codes that teenagers use to "talk" to each other. I began researching the number again and it seems I was wrong. Read on to learn the myths, the truth about the origin and what this term means for parents.\nKnown Myths\n\n\nPolice dispatch code for smoking pot is 420. The number 420 is not police radio code for anything, anywhere. Checks of criminal codes suggest that the origin is neither Californian nor federal. For instance, California Penal Code 420 defines as a misdemeanor the hindrance of use of public lands. \nThere are approximately 420 active chemicals in marijuana. Actually, there are approximately 315 active chemicals in marijuana. This number goes up and down depending on which plant is used. \nApril 20th is National Pot Smokers Day. Well, it is now; but that wasn't the origin. \nApril 20th is Hitler's birthday. Yes, it is his birthday. But, as 420 started out as a time, not a date, his birthday had nothing to do with it. \nApril 20th is the date of the Columbine school shootings. This happened after the term was already in use. \n4:20 is tea time for pot-smokers in Holland. Tea time in Holland is at 5:30 pm, or is it 2:30 pm? Seems no one is quite sure when the wonderful people of Holland drink their tea. \nThe Origin Revealed \nAccording to Steven Hager, editor of High Times, the term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos, who are now pushing 50. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke pot. Intent on developing their own discreet language, they made 420 code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation. While our teens feel that they know something we don't, you can let them in on the fact that it was your generation that came up with the numbers. \n\nA quote from one of the Waldos in the High Times article states, "We did discover we could talk about getting high in front of our parents without them knowing by using the phrase 420." Fortunately, your teenagers will not have that same option. \n\nWhatever! \n\nSimply put, 420 is a symbol of cannabis and its culture. Today, April 20th events are international, and 4:20 pm has become sort of a world wide "burn time". It certainly doesn't matter too much where the term came from because for us parents, it's a flag, a warning sign that our teenagers may be into something that could harm their future. When you see the symbol 420, be aware of what it represents.

what characteristics do all enzymes share?

All enzymes are proteins that catalyze reactions and are not changed or comsumed during those reactions. They all have a temperature and a pH at which they work best. They have an active site, require a substrate, and they all lower the activation energy level required for certain reactions to occur.  \n\n\n (Ribosomes are made of two subunits - one is RNA, the other is protein - and are not enzymes.)

He died because it was the plan of God for Him to die. It was necessary for the redemption of man from the bondage of sin.\nhttp://www.schneblin.com/studies/pdfs/john_3-16.pdf\n\nBut Jesus is not done yet.

If all cells have a membrane, cytoplasm, cytotosol, and DNA in common do they ALL also have a nucleus?

no! all bacteria (unicellular organisms) are (made up of) prokariotic cells. which means they have no membrane bound organells (such as the nucleus) dna is therefore not separated from the rest of the cell, but forms a single circular loop, sometimes called bacterial chromosome.  bacteria also have smaller loops of dna in the cytoplasms called plasmids.

My mothers friends are worried about her, should I be worried also?

Ask your mom how her friends are.  You might find out that they have done something to hurt or anger her, which is good because then you don't really have to worry about your mom not being "ok".  Maybe she has new friends that are kinder or more fun to be with.  \nDuring this conversation, you should be able to get your own read on your mom, so you can see for yourself if she seems to be her normal self to you or not.  \nIf she does not seem normal, then you should pay her a visit.  Make sure she is not depressed or something.  If needed, help her find the help she needs (just like, I hope, she took care of you when you needed it).  \nGood luck!  I can tell you care about her.


how do you make people understand you don't want to date after your spouse has died. this means never again?

I understand how you feel. But most people won't. They don't get it possibly because they didn't experience this level of love. I think that when they insist on your dating again, they are merely trying to bring you to their own level. If they make you date, they will feel less guilty about their readiness to date when their own partner dies.\nSo it's not really about you, but about their selfish interests. Which is why it is hard for you to change their minds. Sorry.


why are pastors wives called firstladies?

!!! \n\nThey're not called that in my church - that's really weird! It's probably something to do with your church. In my denomination we have women as leaders, ministers, and treat them as equals. I think the "first lady" title is pretty demeaning to them - or at least has that potential...


I read that there was one four year college that you can go to without taking your SAT's.  Which one is it?

You can apply to many colleges without having taken SATs.  Most community colleges, for example, will allow you to enroll.  You could start there and then transfer to a four-year school.

Should Bush give away control of ports to Dubai?

The UAE is not really an Arab country in the way most Americans think of Arab States. Many American Citizens live there. Now the timing is bad just because we are so scared that even countries that are allies are hurt. It is a shame.\n\nPeople from the USA will still be running our ports. The workers are all from the USA. The reason we are scared is because the word Arab is in the name of the country. They are an economic powerhouse. They have _no oil_. They gained power through the free market like the USA.\n\n*The UAE is what we want Iraq to be.*\n\nIt should be investigated as the climate we are in calls for that. The congress should have been clued into this before. The secretive nature of this Bush administration is very worrysome. There is no reason to deny them other than their location in the world. It makes me wonder if something else is going on. He claims he had not known untill it was to late. How could he not know! I do not accept this. It makes me very nervous.\n\nThe investigation must be done, but a decision must be made fairly speedily or countries around the UAE will use it against the USA to turn more people in that region away from us.\n\nUPDATE:\nWow, I just heard the senate hearing on this. Appearantly, Bush was giving Dubai some breaks with this deal. He did not require them to make copies of business files in the USA, where they would be subjected to court orders from us. Also he did not designate a US citizen to make sure they were in compliance with US terms. This is so shady!


what is Advances-declines in stock market?

The number of stocks that have gained value that day are called 'advances' and the ones that have lost value are called 'declines'. Advances-declines is a ratio that gives an indication of whether the market was bullish (if ratio over 1.0) or bearish.


i cant hear any sound in my computer but my computer is saying  i have no sound card, "sound card", what?

A sound card is a device in your computer that processes sound/voice signals and transfers it to your speakers, headphones, etc. If the motherboard in your system has an inbuilt sound card, then the message would mean you have to install the drivers (a software used to relate and control hardware thru the Operating system)\nIf it does not has an in built sound card, then you will have to buy n install one in the PCI (white) slots in the motherboard. Go to a computer store and purchase one. Will be better cos the counter guy might be able to determine a compatible one for your system.


Is the centrifugal force a fact or a fiction?

Centrifugal force is a fact, but we call it a fictional force. We interpret what we observe as a force because we want to apply the laws of inertia and so on that appropriate for a stationary, inertial frame to a nonstationary, noninertial frame. \n\nIt has the same root as the word "fugitive", a latin word meaning to flee. So if you spin a rock on a rope, it seems to you that the rock wants to flee away from your hand, and the string is holding it back with its centripetal force (or center seeking force, again from the latin). The fleeing force or centrifugal force is not really there, it is just our interpretation of what we observing from the application of Newton's laws in a rotating frame.

what are the things in a fuel cell that are connected to electricity called and do they have to be gold?

You are thinking of an electrolytic cell, not a fuel cell.\n\nA fuel cell works in the opposite way, taking Hydrogen and Oxygen gas and producing electricity and water.\nAn electrolytic cell takes electricity and splits water in to Hydrogen and Oxygen.\n\nThe electrodes in an electrolyitc cell can be any number of things, pretty much anything that will conduct electricty would work.  However, somethings work much better than others.  Platinum and gold are very inert metals and resist corrosion very well (unlike iron/steel for instance).  Carbon/graphite is a very popular and cheap electrode material in electroltic cells, but they eventually wear out.\n\nIn fuel cells, more specifically PEM fuel cells, platinum us used as a catalyst on a porous carbon electrode which is then connected to a Proten Exchange membrane which allows the passage of H+ ions but forces the electrons around through an electric circuit.  The Platinum is used on the electrodes because it acts as a catalyst to strip the Hydrogen atoms of their electrons from the Hydrogen gas molecules.

How does adding memory help your computer?

http://computer.howstuffworks.com/question175.htm\n\nUp to a point, adding RAM (random access memory) will normally cause your computer to feel faster on certain types of operations. RAM is important because of an operating system component called the virtual memory manager (VMM).\n\nWhen you run a program such as a word processor or an Internet browser, the microprocessor in your computer pulls the executable file off the hard disk and loads it into RAM. In the case of a big program like Microsoft Word or Excel, the EXE consumes about 5 megabytes. The microprocessor also pulls in a number of shared DLLs (dynamic link libraries) -- shared pieces of code used by multiple applications. The DLLs might total 20 or 30 megabytes. Then the microprocessor loads in the data files you want to look at, which might total several megabytes if you are looking at several documents or browsing a page with a lot of graphics. So a normal application needs between 10 and 30 megabytes of RAM space to run. On my machine, at any given time I might have the following applications running:\n\n    * A word processor\n    * A spreadsheet\n    * A DOS prompt\n    * An e-mail program\n    * A drawing program\n    * Three or four browser windows\n    * A fax program\n    * A Telnet session \n\nBesides all of those applications, the operating system itself is taking up a good bit of space. Those programs together might need 100 to 150 megabytes of RAM, but my computer only has 64 megabytes of RAM installed.\n\nThe extra space is created by the virtual memory manager. The VMM looks at RAM and finds sections of RAM that are not currently needed. It puts these sections of RAM in a place called the swap file on the hard disk. For example, even though I have my e-mail program open, I haven't looked at e-mail in the last 45 minutes. So the VMM moves all of the bytes making up the e-mail program's EXE, DLLs and data out to the hard disk. That is called swapping out the program. The next time I click on the e-mail program, the VMM will swap in all of its bytes from the hard disk, and probably swap something else out in the process. Because the hard disk is slow relative to RAM, the act of swapping things in and out causes a noticeable delay.\n\nIf you have a very small amount of RAM (say, 16 megabytes), then the VMM is always swapping things in and out to get anything done. In that case, your computer feels like it is crawling. As you add more RAM, you get to a point where you only notice the swapping when you load a new program or change windows. If you were to put 256 megabytes of RAM in your computer, the VMM would have plenty of room and you would never see it swapping anything. That is as fast as things get. If you then added more RAM, it would have no effect.\n\nSome applications (things like Photoshop, many compilers, most film editing and animation packages) need tons of RAM to do their job. If you run them on a machine with too little RAM, they swap constantly and run very slowly. You can get a huge speed boost by adding enough RAM to eliminate the swapping. Programs like these may run 10 to 50 times faster once they have enough RAM! \n\n---x---\nupgrading memory is a cheaper option than buying a new pc

Will more ram consume more power from battery on a laptop?

Nothing you should be worried about. If it does, it will be like 1 second less, but the fact is.. if you have more RAM things will get done faster so you can do more with less time. RAM will not hurt the battery life, it will only help it.\n\nhristo_y are you a moron? I was saying, the computer WILL consume more energy but you will not notice the difference. The computer battery may last 1 second less from the extra power it consumes. Try answering the question and not saying something ignorant.

Which bible does a typical Christian have to follow as there are many?

I've studied both Hebrew and Greek (the original languages of the Bible), and I've seen that most translations are correct. Yes, there are "different" Bibles, but most say basically the same thing. Minor differences in word style occur any time you translate a document. \n\nThis doesn't include translations that are done with a particular slant, like the New World Translation, for example. But the King James, New King James, New International Version, New American Standard, Revised Standard Version, English Standard Version, etc are all good.

I have to track some stock companies in my civics class...what are the best companies to track right now?

I would recommend that you track the stock of companies you might be interested in.  That would make it more real for you.  you could track Yahoo, Google, Apple, etc.  There are no "best" companies to track.  \n\nHowever, you can track stocks with a portfolio in Yahoo finance, quote.yahoo.com.  If you need some diverse comapnies to cover several companies I will give you four:\nCameco (CJC) which is an uranium mining company; GE (diversified operations); Univision (UVN) a spanish language media/broadcasting company; and Cisco Systems (CSCO) a technology company.  you can get the symbols for companies you might have an interest in on yahoo finance as well, by doing a company lookup.  Good luck and have fun!

*Pondering* Now mind you, it would be better to ask your physician or a dietician, but...\n\nDiabetes mellitus is a chronic disease in which blood glucose (sugar) levels are too high. Cells in the body break down glucose in order to provide energy for movement, growth, and repair. The hormone insulin is responsible for regulating glucose levels in the blood. Abnormally high levels of glucose can damage the small and large blood vessels, leading to diabetic blindness, kidney disease, amputations of limbs, stroke, and heart disease.\n\nThere are three common types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is usually (but not always) diagnosed in children and young adults. Persons with type 1 diabetes make no insulin and must take insulin every day. Type 2 diabetes is usually (but not always) diagnosed in adults over the age of 45. In type 2 diabetes, either the person is not making enough insulin, or the body is resistant to insulin and cannot use it properly. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy: 2-4 percent of all pregnant women have gestational diabetes. If a woman has gestational diabetes, she has about a 40 percent chance of having type 2 diabetes later in her life.\n\nAbout 17 million persons in America have Diabetes mellitus, but five million of them don't even know it. Nearly 1 million new cases are diagnosed each year. The disease affects men and women of all ages and ethnic groups. African Americans, Latinos, American Indians, Alaskan Natives, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders are more greatly affected than other groups.\n\nUnless you must take regular insulin shots, you can control some diabetes with a proper diet. Below I've added a few links on the subject.

McDonalds is not affordable for the average person.  You are looking at in excess of $1,000,000 (million) just to get in the door.  The reason they are able to charge so much for the franchise fee is that they are successful.\n\nBut they are not affordable for the average person.  Subway and Blimpie are for affordable.  They range from the $50,000 to $100,000.  Most of these will generate less money than a McDonalds.


my upper chest is literally just skin and bones- how can i get not-so-skinny?

Eat meat.  Youll need the protien to build muscle.  And work out your arms chest and back 2-3 times a week.  Do high wieght / low reps (Don't do too much or you will hurt yourself) .  This will build your muslce faster.  Low weight high reps will just tone you.  It is probably best you start on machines as well because they help you keep correct form and give you more control as far as the amount of resistance.  Try doing pushups with weights on your back(start low), and look into buying a small dumbbell set.

Why women dont mind  hold their same sex friend hands,while men will never do that unless gay?

I think straight men are much more concerned about being mistaken for gay than straight women are about being mistaken.  Also, it is true that women do not think of it as a sexual thing at all.  Or, to be more accurate, did not until the modern emphasis on sexuality.  That makes me sad, because now we straight women may indeed become more inhibited.  I am already less comfortable with the "California hug," which is my term for the fact that many Californians tend to treat a hug as the standard greeting.  I prefer to limit this to my closest friends, but I do wonder if it's not because of being concerned about being labeled lesbian.

Don't ever download 3D desktops.  They are usually riddled with spyware. As for screensavers...  do some research on trusted sites and go there only.  I'd recommend \nhttp://www.download.com  \nAlso, don't ever do anything that requires you to use Active Desktop as that is really insecure.\nYou can always download it, then scan it with some virus scanners, trojan scanners, and spyware/adware scanners to scheck its safety.

I want  to   know        information about  paints  and printing  colours (dyes  and paints)?

Dyestuffs, any of a large group of chemicals almost exclusively organic in nature, used for the colouring of textiles, inks, food products, and other substances. Modern industrial terminology defines a dyestuff as a product containing pure organic dye and cutting agents or fillers that make the product easier to handle. Dyes are not to be confused with pigments, which are pulverized coloured substances that must be mixed with adhesive binding agents before being applied to surfaces. See Dyeing.\n\nThe colour properties of organic compounds depend on their structure. In general, the coloured compounds used as dyes are unsaturated organic chemicals. The quality of possessing colour is particularly noticeable in compounds containing certain well-defined chemically unsaturated groupings. These groups, known as chromophores (colour bearers), are not all equally effective in producing colour.\n\nDyestuffs must be capable of entering and colouring textile fibres or other substances. Chemical radicals, known as auxochromes, have the property of anchoring the desired dye effectively. They are acidic or basic and give rise to acidic or basic dye salts. In the case of some compounds the addition of an auxochrome group also changes a colourless compound into a coloured one.\n\nThe basic raw materials of synthetic dyes are compounds, such as benzene, that are derived from the destructive distillation of coal (see Phenylamine; Coal Tar). For this reason synthetic dyestuffs are often popularly known as coal-tar dyes. From the basic materials, intermediates are manufactured by a number of chemical processes that, in general, involve the substitution of specific elements or chemical radicals for one or more of the hydrogen atoms in the basic substance.\n\nDyestuffs can be classified according to their use or by their chemical structure. The chemical classification is generally made according to the nucleus of the compound. Among the more important dye groups are the azo dyes, which include butter yellow and Congo red; the triphenylmethane dyes, which include magenta and methyl violet; the phthalein dyes; the azine dyes, which include mauve; and the anthraquinone dyes, which include alizarin. Indigo is a vat dye, occurring in nature in the crystalline glucoside indican. An important new group of dyes is the phthalocyanine dyes, which are blue or green in colour and resemble chlorophyll in chemical structure. Of all the groups of dyes the azo dyes are the most generally useful and widely employed. See Diazo Compounds.\n\nA stain is a chemical dye or pigment used to colour glass, paper, textiles, or wood. The staining substance, which uses alcohol, oil, or water as a vehicle, is transparent and thinner than paint or coating, and it penetrates into the grain of material being dyed. In microscopic and microchemical research, a dye or a chemical mixture used to distinguish between minute transparent structures is also called a stain.\n\nx

Dan is the best QB ever.  People seem to forget that he was the only QB to have success without any semblance of a running game.  We also need to remember that also the dolphins defense didn't start to improve until jimmy Johnson became head coach, which wasn't until Dan's career was pretty much over.  So from 83-00, 17 years, Dan  carried his team to a Superbowl in his rookie season, a few AFC Championship games, and broke the TD record w/o having running game or defense to back him up.  As far as individual performances go, he is the best ever.

I don't think there will be another "Jordan". A few like Kobe, and Lebron have the talent, but they play in a different league than the one that Jordan played in. Rules are different, geared more towards offense and take away some of the defense's ability to stop someone. Also there is no one, that commmands the respect and awe that Michael did. Teams developed whole strategies around him. He also is the ultimate closer, no one I belive will be able to do what he did in the closing seconds of a close game.He took his team to count them 6 championships. Who else did that besides Bill Russell? No one, and I don't think anyone else can.\n\nHe is so much more than a basketball player though, he was a icon. A marketing genious, and the most recognized person on the planet during his time. Maybe one day someone will command that respect, but hell they will still measure him as the next Michael Jordan. Not the next Kobe or Lebron or Wade, the next Jordan. He is the epitome, he is the standard of greatness.\n\nYeah he scored 81 in a game, but his teammate were just feeding him the ball, and the defense wasn't doing shit to even try and stop him, they gave up. Plus he was at home. Michael scored 63 in Boston in a playoff game against Larry Bird. Which do you think is more impressive. Not taking anything away from Kobe, but I would rather have what Jordan did.

what happens if some one having my driving lisence scaned copy and my bannk a/c details. help me i am in trabl

Depends on what details they have about your bank account.  If you are concerned contact the bank and inform them of your concerns.  They will change the information and maybe give you a new account.  \n\nInfo on your drivers license is public information.  If someone want's it they will have little trouble getting it.  You need to be more concerned about your social security number.  That info is not available easily, even if they know your drivers license number.\n\nContact the credit reporting agencies and request an identity theft flag be placed on your accounts, and get a copy of your credit report so you can check for anything unusual.\n\nWith a flag on your account, if anyone attempts to get credit in your name, the business must first call you to verify it.  If they don't then the business will be liable for the loss.

why do you think walmart is censoring rappers cds?

walmart is censoring rappers cds porbably beacuse they have the right to decide wther or not they want to sell a prodcut depending on the values they have. Porbably they don't like the lyrics or do not agree with them so they will not sell a prodcut that they are againt eventough they could loose sales they still hold their position and sell what they think its right,

why USA citycens r so bad at geography?? hehe?

I think mostly because geography is not a mandatory subject to take.\n\nSecondly, America is like "the center of the world". People around the world are so fascinated with our country, want to learn more about it, follow our fashion sense, listen to our music and watch our movie.Thus, what's the point to learn about other countries if everybody looks up to us.\nIgnorant?Definetely but can't really blame the  Americenter phenomenon.\n\nI was born in Asia. Everytime i mentioned the country,nobody rarely knows where it is.\nAt first, I was a lil' upset but now, I'm so use to it.\n\nPeople always pay attention to something that stands out (e.g:America)and rarely pay attention to something unimportant (e.g: smaller countries)

when does Denmark  appologise on these cunning DRAWs?

The problem is in Danish government which is don't has any politic man who can prevent this tension in relation between 1,000,000,000 muslim and Danish people .\nsecond point is who draw this carton has no enough knowledge in history because if you knew who is Mouhammed you will respect him . \nthird point the problem in freedom because everything in this world has limit no one in this world can talk in everything so you have to respect muslim as the muslim people respect you but the strange thing is how  is this come from Danish people because they are a nice  people . \nhow is the drawer do something like this drew carton about somebody who they didn't know ?Now this is my message to the West: \n\n\n\nThere exists a cultural vagueness in the West. This vagueness results from the presence of two different concepts. The first is a great Western concept that we respect, appraise, and need. That concept is freedom of speech. This is a great humane and civilized concept. On the other hand, there is the great Islamic concept of dignifying Allah’s Messenger (SAWS). The problem arises due to the lack of understanding of the Islamic Civilization and the Western Civilization regarding these two concepts. The non-Muslims cannot value the rank of dignifying the Prophet (SAWS). On the other hand, due to the below-average quality of practical application of freedom of speech, Muslims have a vague understanding of the concept of respecting freedom of speech. \n\n\n\nAccordingly, what is required now? We do not want to refuse the concept of freedom of speech, absolutely not. However, the West should alter the freedom of speech so that it does not collide with the very important Islamic value of dignifying the Prophet (SAWS). Here lies the vagueness and ambiguity. The West understands very well the freedom of speech (which we appreciate) but it does not understand Islamic values, such as dignifying the Prophet (SAWS) and other Islamic sanctities. This is where the Western cultural vagueness lies.\n\n\n\nI clearly say to the West, you have a problem. You cannot comprehend how much the Muslims love Prophet Muhammad (SAWS). You are still unable to understand this point. If you had really encompassed its significance, you would never have accepted what happened. The West, in general, governments and people, does not apprehend that Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) is dearer to us than our parents, dearer to me than my father and dearer than my mother. I am sure that any Muslim woman listening to me now, be her religious or not, will swear on that fact. Just ask, what does Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) mean to you? It is not even necessary to do that because it is so evident, but you may conduct surveys for yourselves, and you will realize how true what I am saying is. Ask any youth, be he heedless or pious; ask any Muslim anywhere, in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Yemen or in Egypt. Ask any Muslim in any village regardless of how religious he is, be he an obedient Muslim or not, a drug user or not, successful in his life or a failure, old or young, ask them, what does Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) mean to you?\n\n\n\nO West, I affirm that Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) is dearer to all Muslims than their own parents. O West, Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) is dearer to us, Muslims, than our children and grandchildren. O West, Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) is dearer to us than our money, dearer to us than our own selves. He is dearer to us than our own countries. O Egyptian, who is dearer to you, Egypt or Allah’s Prophet? O Saudi, who is dearer to you, Saudi Arabia or Allah’s Prophet? O Yemeni, O Moroccan, O Algerian, who is dearer to you, your country or Allah’s Messenger (SAWS)? O West, comprehend that meaning, Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) is dearer to Muslims than their children and their own selves.\n\n\n\nWe can never forget the hadith that I repeatedly mentioned during the episodes of “On the Path of the Beloved”. O West, listen to this hadith[11] as it form

Italian American Reconciliation by: John Patrick Shanley?

First Produced  1986 Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, Waterford, CT, USA >>>  \nPublished  1989 Dramatist Play Service, NY  \nGenre  Comic Folktale  \nParts \nMale \n 2  \nFemale  3  \nOther  \n\nSynopsis: \n\nHuey Maximilian Bonfigliano has a problem: While he is safely divorced from his shrewish first wife, Janice, who shot his dog and even took a bead on him, he feels he cannot regain his "manhood" until he woos and wins her one more timeif only to put his broken marriage behind him once and for all. He enlists the aid of his lifelong buddy, Aldo Scalicki, a confirmed bachelor who tries, without apparent success, to convince Huey that he would be better off sticking with his new lady friend, Teresa, a usually placid young waitress whose indignation flares when she learns what Huey is up to. In a moonlit balcony scene (hilariously reminiscent of Cyrano de Bergerac) Aldo pleads his lovesick friend's case and, to his astonishment, Janice capitulatesalthough not for long. However we do learn that her earlier abuse of Huey was intended to make him "act like a man" which, at last, he does. And, more than that, he (and the audience) become aware that, in the final essence, "the greatestand onlysuccess is to be able to love"a truth which emerges delightfully from the heartwarming, wonderfully antic and always imaginatively conceived action of the play.

Are there any Buddhists here? If so, what do you practice?

Buddhism is a spiritual tradition that focuses on personal spiritual development and the attainment of a deep insight into the true nature of life.\nA Different Way of Faith \nThis makes Buddhism different from many other faiths for it is not centred on the relationship between humanity and God. \nBuddhism doesn't fit the pattern of other faiths and needs to be seen in its own terms to be understood properly.\nBuddhists do not believe in a personal creator God.\nIt does not have the concept of a Saviour, nor of Heaven and Hell in the popular sense. \nBuddhism doesn't demand blind faith or belief, and says that people should test its teachings against personal experience.\nThe Bare Essentials of Buddhism \n\n2,500 years old \n\n\n350 million Buddhists worldwide \n\n\nFounded by Siddhartha Gautama in India\n\n\nThe path to Enlightenment or Buddhahood is through the practice and development of morality, meditation, and wisdom.\n\n\nBuddhists do not believe in a creator God nor a personal God, but Buddhists are tolerant of those whose beliefs are different from theirs.\n\n\nBuddhists believe that nothing is fixed or permanent — change is always possible.\n\n\nBuddhism teaches that all life is interconnected, so compassion is natural and important.\n\nBeliefs\n\n  \n \n \n Tibetan monks use prayer wheel  \n \n \n\nSummary of the Teachings of Buddha\nAdmission to the monastic sangha involves two rites of passage: \n\nKarma: Actions have consequences; so our lives are conditioned by our past actions\n\n\nRebirth: Consciousness continues after death, and finds expression in a future life\n\n\nLiberation from karma: By following the Buddha's path one escapes the cycle of craving and suffering\n\n\nThe Four Noble Truths: The essentials of Buddhism\n\n\nEnlightenment:The highest goal of life is to reach Enlightenment; a state of being that goes beyond suffering\n\n\nDharma: The teachings and hence the way to nirvana\n\n\nThe Core of Buddhist teaching\nAt the heart of the Buddha's teaching lie The Four Noble Truths and The Eightfold Path which lead the Buddhist towards the path of Enlightenment.\n\nFacing the Truth\nThe Buddha taught that the human tendency is to avoid the difficult truths of life and this in turn leads to suffering. \nBy enabling the mind to be at peace through meditation a human being can confront reality and overcome hatred and craving. \n\nfor more information visit :

How exacly can you multiple (18/b^2) * b^3?

How about this? Straight multiplying gives you the following:\n\n18b^3/b^2\n\nb^3 = bxbxb\nb^2 = bxb\n\nYou have 3 bs on top and 2 on bottom. Whenever you have the same number on top and bottom, it cancels out. Since there are 2 bs on bottom, 2 of the ones on the top cancel out as well. This leaves you with 18b.\n\nDid that help at all?

how did the puriatns punish drunkenness, idleness, and gossiping?

While I did not live during those times to be able to say how they addressed each particular crime, I could only provide what I 'think' they may have done based on literary works and plays that were handed down from those times.\n\nOne means of punishment was "the stocks", where a person was confined so that they could be seen (and perhaps) ridiculed by others.  From literature, such as "The Scarlett Letter", it appears that the puritans, who have put people to death for crimes they considered extremely severe (in order to root out evil, as it seems to me), appeared to be more inclined to find a way to publically ridicule the people that committed lesser infractions.  Sometimes they 'branded' people or made them somehow identifiable as persons who did not follow a strict "moral" code.\n\nWhile they seemed to be their own "jury of their peers", they probably didn't have the best means of punishment, espeically in cases where those doling such out were very superstitious.

Are Yahoo groups content shown when someone does a search of your name?

Depends on where you search. Searching in a Yahoo group, your posts might be found. Searching on an actual search engine, they may be found if the group you have posted in with your own name is public (meaning non-members can see the archives).\n\nIf you only post in private groups and those groups are never converted into public ones, or you do not post with your own name, then the contents won't be seen with a search.

As a long-time financial executive in the investment field, it is my opinion is that any answer you receive that cites a specific fund is wrong!

Is it fair when u cant mix with others or make frenz,when they(husband) mix around and sosialise with other???

Of course it is not fair. If your husband is not allowing you to have friends of your own, he is creating a wall of isolation around you and usually that is for the sole purpose of making it impossible for you to stand up to him. If you have any power to prevent it, do not let this happen.

Honestly there are several people on here giving very excellent answers. However, i think, given your painfull joints, it would be a very good idea to hire a personal trainer at your local gym. It is extremely important to do any exersice program with good form or else you could injure yourself, this is true for highly trained athelets too.\n\nI suspect you have not been to a gym for some time now, i assure you, the vast majority of them are not like the ones on old with all the muscle heads in there. Everyone nowadays has lots of respect for everyone in there becuase of the desire for self improvement. Trust me 85 percent of the gyms out there are compfortable for all ages and sizes.\n\nThere is also the option of having in home training where the fitness trainer will actually come to your home with all the equipment needed.\n\nGo for it, i tell you, you can do it but it will take a little time.

Who do you believe would be the most effective person in unifying the American public?

I believe it comes down to who is president. We need a strong and inspiring leader that appeals to both sides. With that in mind:\n\nColin Powell. \n\nNOT Oprah Winfrey... since when did having a talk show, fighting obesity and running a book club qualify you for anything other than getting more money?\n\nBut Colin Powell will connect with minorities, if that's a concern; he was a respected General and trusted aide. He has proven leadership skills, understanding of global politics. His only flaw is that he probably isn't so strong with econmics, and a good advisor could serve him there.

The letters, not to keep you guessing, stand for "oll korrect." They're the result of a fad for comical abbreviations that flourished in the late 1830s and 1840s.\n\nRead buttressed his arguments with hundreds of citations from newspapers and other documents of the period. As far as I know his work has never been successfully challenged.\n\nThe abbreviation fad began in Boston in the summer of 1838 and spread to New York and New Orleans in 1839. The Boston newspapers began referring satirically to the local swells as OFM, "our first men," and used expressions like NG, "no go," GT, "gone to Texas," and SP, "small potatoes."\n\nMany of the abbreviated expressions were exaggerated misspellings, a stock in trade of the humorists of the day. One predecessor of OK was OW, "oll wright," and there was also KY, "know yuse," KG, "know go," and NS, "nuff said."

Ozone is a form of oxygen(O3),a life saver. It blocks the UV rays from the sun entering into earth's atmosphere.In the stratosphere small amount of O3 r constantly bein made by the action of sunliht on O2. But due to human activities,the green house gases esp. Chlorofluorocarbon(CFC) & hydrochlorofluorocarbons r consstantly being released,that destroy O3 much faster than they r formed.\n\nIf this still continues,it 'll affect crop yield,damage fish larvae,melanoma,skin cancer,erythema,occular abnormalities,cataract may occur. It 'll also affect immune responses.\n\nTo stop all these,some of these ways can be adopted.CFC may be replaced by HFC,butane,propane,etc.servicing of refrigerators & AC should be regulated.Refrigerants should be recaptured & used.\n\nIn 1991-1992,Scientists working in European Arctic stratosphere Ozone Expt in Sweden sent 39 balloons with payload upto 500 kg & 800 ozone probes. Their findings revealed that ozone layer was reduced by 15-200% . Chlorine was also found in active form in the atmosphere.

Sugar feeds the yeast.\n \nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_2200_treat-yeast-infection.html\n\nhttp://www.holisticmed.com/detox/dtx-probio.txt\n\nhttp://www.probiotics.co.nz/prbtcs.html\nhttp://www.vitacost.com/science/hn/Supp/Probiotics.htm\n(I would not recomend purchasing them online since the temperature will undoubtedly be compromised at some point in the mailing process. Also dont get the ones on the unrefridgerated shelf. You need to use refrigerated probiotics. \n\nJarrow formulas is a good (I open the capsule into my mouth to avoid the gelitan capsule, It tastes good.)brand.http://www.jarrow.com/category.php?catid=25&PHPSESSID=415e08138fb6d48cee8e5343e3603578 Nondairy types are best as well.\n\nI also use pro-96 blueberry or apple http://www.natlife.com/PPS/Pro96AcidoPPS.htm \nThey taste great and even kids have no problem taking it. Im treating my 4 year old for a vaginal infection right now actually and she had relief the next morning. Its good to take a maintenance dose esp if you are prone to yeast.\n\nProbiotics have so many other health benefits as well. They are outlined in the links I listed. \n\nA wonderful discussion, with ideas on how, why and what type of probiotics to use.\nhttp://www.mothering.com/discussions/showthread.php?t=96009\n\n\nIf you use store bought yogurt make sure it is sugar free. Otherwise you are feeding the yeast and it will be a battle for your body to get the benefits.\n\nAlso lots of water.\n\nGood Luck!


Does anyone besides myself believe that the latest female american reporter is actually one of the terroist?

I am thinking.....you are alone or in a very small minority.


How has the Catholic religion shaped your life?

It has shown me that truths mixed with lies make up the most devious of untruths, more difficult to spot the actual inaccuracies. I grew up a Catholic but when I opened my eyes and began to actually study the word of God I ran like heck from that church, repented of my sins became baptized in the remission of sin and by the grace of god hope to continue in the faith until that glorious day that I meet my creator.
