Who got the most votes in the 2000 presidential election?

Al Gore.  Bush did win the electoral college.  What is interesting is the supreme court decisions in the bush v gore, the final one that ended it.\n\nIf you get a chance ever to read it its fascinating.  Essentially the arguement is made by the majority of justices that they aren't going to redo the vote in florida cause the discerning the intent of the voter is creating inequities amougnst the voters.\n\nIts the most fascinating thing from that whole era.  That and the "dont get snippy about it" from that night.\n\nI just read the supreme court case like two weeks ago.  Fascinating part and era of our history.

Why don't vegans eat dairy products just because they came from a cow?

Vegetarians won't eat any meat but vegans won't eat any product or byproduct of an animal. They are missing out on soooo much.


what category would knowledge be under, for example a feeling or an emotion etc.....?

in a way, it can be thought of as a sense, like touch, smell, taste, etc.  It is a sense like sight, and we even say "insight."  We say we "grasp" what one is saying, to mean we know what they are saying.  That is, we have a sense of what they are saying.\n\nSo I think it is in some ways a sense.\n\nBut it is more than that, because it is formed as a result of various senses.  The 5 physical senses, plus mind or consciousness come together to form knowledge.\n\nSo I think it is its own category.  I could be wrong.

That really depends on your goals.  Is your goal to build muscle, lose fat or simply maintain?  And what is your exercise regimen?  You need to clearly address these issues before you receive an appropriate response, as the ideal breakfast really depends on your goals.\n\nIf you're just asking for the sake of general health and wellness.  You can't go wrong with oatmeal with raisins, a cup of yogurt (if you're not lactose intolerant) and a handful of almonds.  This a simple and very healthy breakfast.

Let's try this again: Anyone know any examples of violence in OFFICIAL sports games?

Finding examples of behaviour in sport that we would acknowledge as violent is not difficult. But they do go to show the breadth of the incidents across many sports, not just hockey, although hockey is perhaps the most high profile and prolific. But soccer, football, basketball, and figure skating, among others, are all involved. And it is not just players committing acts of violence. Although not as frequent, there have been an alarming number of violent incidents perpetrated by coaches and by spectators. Violence by and between players, officials, coaches and spectators have all been documented -- far too frequently.\n\nViolence in sport is a huge and complex topic. This paper takes a judicial look at violence in sport from both the criminal law and civil law perspectives, applying the principles underlying judicial decision-making to organizational policy making in the area. My focus will be on amateur sport (as opposed to professional sport) and will concentrate on violence by and between players during competition.\n\nWe can look at violence in sport from any number of perspectives – what causes violence, who is violent (spectators, coaches, athletes, etc), what is the effect of violence on the playing field, how do we define violence. I am going to address violence from a criminal perspective and a civil or tort perspective, and will also discuss policy implications for the sport community as a whole, and for individual sport bodies. \n\n\nCRIMINAL LAW - ASSAULT\n\nSome violent acts occurring within sporting competitions do attract charges of criminal assault or the more serious form of assault, assault with a weapon [4]. Section 265 of the Canadian Criminal Code defines assault:\n\ns.265(1) A person commits an assault when\n(a) without the consent of another person, he applies force intentionally to that person, directly or indirectly;\n(b) he attempts or threatens, by an act of gesture, to apply force to another person, if he has, or causes that other person to believe upon reasonable grounds that he has, present ability to effect his purpose;\n(c) while openly wearing or carrying a weapon or an imitation thereof, he accosts or impedes another person or begs.\n\nSection 267 of the Criminal Code defines assault with a weapon: \n\ns.267(1) Everyone who, in committing an assault,\n(a) carries, uses or threatens to use a weapon or an imitation thereof, or\n(b) causes bodily harm to the complainant,\n(c) is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years.\n\n(2) For the purposes of this section and sections 269 and 272, “bodily harm” means any hurt or injury to the complainant that interferes with the health or comfort of the complainant and that is more than merely transient or trifling in nature.\n\nThe two key elements in making out an assault are intention to inflict the force and lack of consent to the force.\n\nConsent to the force is a full defense to a charge of assault. Determining what it is one consents to is very often the most vexing part of any assault matter. Indeed, can an individual consent to any kind or degree of violence? In R. v. Jobidon the Supreme Court of Canada said fighting is unlawful [5], even where the victim of the fight consents to such activity. The Court did expressly state however, that its decision did not reflect on “the legality of properly conducted games and sport”.\n\nThe law does, however, impose some limits on consent in sport cases. Two criminal cases are of particular help in determining the standard of consent [6]. In R. v. Leclerc [7] the court said participants give “implied consent to those assaults which are inherent and reasonably incidental to the normal playing of the game at this level”. By ‘normal playing of the game’ the court seems to accept as a part of the game a certain amount of violent action outside the formal rules of the game. The court also stated that any interpretation of the issue of consent sh

im 14 and i like this guy hes really nice but he doesnt no me i never talked to him b4 and idk what to say?

hey i am 15 and know what its like.  the best thing that you can do is to just go up to him and say hi.  you never know what might happen.  i know that it might seem scary but trust me it really isn't.  he is a human being too.  try to find out different things that you two might have in common: music, movies, things like that.  it might help to be an ice breaker.  but my best advice is just to take the chance and say hi to him.  if you don't then you'll never know what might have happened.  i hoped i helped :)

"Not all movements are due to muscular contraction." Can any1 explain why? Tnx!?

Many small organisms rely on ciliary or flagellar motion to move. These mechanisms only work efficiently at low dimensions, i.e. when the density and viscosity of the medium are more important than inertia (which is given by greater body mass).\nThere are also ameboidal movements, caused by relative displacement of citoskeletal elements. These movements are more common in single-celled organisms, but also in some of our own cells (some of the white blood cells, for example)

A growth objective is a goal that a business (or similar entity) sets for itself.\n\nFor example, in 2002, the Chinese Communist Party set the goal of quadrupling the per capita income of 2000 by 2020, which implies a growth rate of 7.2 percent per annum in per capita income or close to 8.0 percent in GDP.\n\nThis is a financial growth objective that focuses on per capita income. A company might make a similar growth objective, like quadrupling its market share by 2020.

why do new nation accept international law?

Not necessarily so. From my perspective international law is often a framework created to endorse political power and control. To justify otherwise unjustifiable means. \n\nWhere international conventions genuinely attempt to redress social ills their transposition into a new nation relies on the legitimacy of those laws to that nations people. This is often the problem - the legislators through no fault of their own cannot be inside the shoes of people from a society/community of which they are not a part.\n\nWe are all conditioned by the values and norms of our own societies and no matter how hard you try it is impossible to extracate yourself from that conditioning. \n\nSo why do new nations accept international laws? There is no simple answer but I'd hazard that either those laws have legitimacy within their own society or more likely there is an element of pressure to concede. The government of that new nation may gain (though not necessarily the people)  or in not adhering that government may be threatened by a loss of something.\n\nIn light of the latter, agreement that international law be recognised by the government of a nation is not evidence of that nation's acceptance. Even where the law is taken on it still requires that legitimacy to have effective implementation.

Can a virus be killed by heating up to high degrees? Is it true for viruses of all types?

Technically, a virus is just a single strand of RNA in a protein shell. If you can get it hot enough to denature the protein, it should "die," though I don't believe it is technically "alive." Viruses work by using your living cells to replicate themselves. They can't do it on their own. When you catch a cold, your cells become little virus factories, churning out millions of replicas of the virus that can then get into other living cells and infect them. That's how viruses spread, multiply, and mutate within living organisms. Fire probably destroys just about any virus, but I'm not going to say that with 100% certainty. Hope that helps a little.


I know CocaCola reinvented Santa Claus in his red outfit and the long white curly beard. How was he before ?

The image of Santa Clause that CocaCola used was taken from "The Night Before Christmas". CocaCola mainstreamed the image of a chubby Santa Clause.  They are credited to mainstreaming the image because their advertisement was so wide spread that it was a well known image that people all over the world could share. Many cultures have different images of Santa. Santa wasn't always depicted as a chubby guy.


What do you think? How can we prevent ourselves from AIDS?

Personally, I think we need to get out of denial. We all tend to have the attitude that "it could never happen to me." If we got rid of that, we would start to make better choices in our lives like: using condoms when having sex, unless in a committed relationship, stop using IV drugs. In the medical field, we have something we call Universal Precautions. We use Universal Precautionswith everyone. This is the Idea that we treat everyone as if they are contaminated with a blood born pathogen. We wash our hands, use gloves, wear googles if needed, etc.


what is the best mass & energy balances book in chemical engineering for a bachelor student?

To answer your specific question about the book "Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes" posed on my "best university" question:\n\nWhen I was at Cal there were two professors teaching ChE 140.  One required Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes, and the other (mine) required Chemical Engineering Design and Analysis, which he co-authored.  My teacher was the latter, but I decided to buy both books, as I did many times after that (in thermodynamics, cell bio, in transport phenomena, etc).  In that case, however, I hardly ever cracked the book Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes because I found the required text to be excellent, and I read it cover-to-cover.  In my other classes, I very frequently consulted my non-required books.  I think I used Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes maybe twice total--once for a conversion factor, and once to get a general idea behind some specific manufacuring student.\n\nHence do I regard Chemical Engineering Design and Analysis to be the better book, compared to Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes.  Chemical Engineering Design and Analysis was one of very few books I ever got so much out of and read entirely.

LZW (Lempel-Ziv-Welch) is just a lossless compression algorithm - you could code it in any language and there are several open source implementations in java.\n\nHowever, a bmp (i assume you mean windows bitmap file) would no longer be a bitmap if you compressed it.

What was the supreme cout's decision in Robin v. Incorporated Village of Hempstead?

It appears the NY Appeals Court which ruled on this case held that a city or subdivision of the state cannot legislate in areas which are explicitly or implicitly preempted by a state law.\n\n\n"The State Legislature may expressly articulate its intent to occupy a field, but may also do so by implication. An implied intent to preempt may be found in a "declaration of State policy [*9]by the Legislature . . . or from the fact that the Legislature has enacted a comprehensive and detailed regulatory scheme in a particular area" (Consolidated Edison Co. v Town of Red Hook, supra at 105). In that event, a local government is "precluded from legislating on the same subject matter unless it has received 'clear and explicit' authority to the contrary" (People v De Jesus, supra at 469, quoting Robin v Incorporated Village of Hempstead, 30 NY2d 347, 350-351)." \n\nThe Legislature's intent to preempt local legislation in an area may be either express or implied. Implied preemption occurs where, notwithstanding the absence of an express exemption, State law indicates a purpose to "occupy the entire field so as to prohibit additional regulation by local authorities in the same area." Robin v. Incorporated Village of Hempstead, 30 N.Y.2d 347, 350 (1972).

Anybody else frustrated with the UN over Iran?

Not frustrated, this is to be expected, and absolutely, eventually somebody will have to act, it will not be a united UN.\n\n---\n\nIn response to themayorbynight, this is not complicated situation at all. Sanctions against Iran are not going to impact oil at all, Iran is not a significant oil producing nation. We have a leader with the same rhethoric as Hitler, threatening neighbors and openly resolving to arm his nation to be able to do more than threaten. The answers is very simple, he must be stopped. Its unclear how sanctions will bring this about, so as I see it Iran has a choice, do so now willingly, or be forced to do so. It's pretty black and white.

Are we the American going down and the Chinese will lead the world?

China has already taken over they have been buying American bonds for years and, in theory, they own our country.\n\nYou can fool some people some time but, you can't fool all people all the time.  The world has caught on to the trickory. and if the U.S. don't capitalise on their new scam of the global marketplace, the only thing that may save us is that our government wants to rule at all cost.  And that my not be a good thing.

I'd use the vlookup function.\nInsert another column between the 2 you have, then (thinking that you'll have column headers) in b2 =vlookup(a2,C:C,1,false) this will bring back the value if you have it in the second set (which should now be in col C). Paste it to the bottom of your data set.\nCopy the formula into col D, & paste down.\nI'd then sort by col B then by D. What's matched is good, what isn't is unique to the column.\nHope this helps

my hair is falling off what should i do?

You don't say if you're male or female, but if it's not the usual Male Pattern Baldness, and if is an abrupt change or in unusual patterns, you'd best see a doctor. It can be illness or nutritional issues.\n\nThe chances of it being cancer are a little low. Most hair loss associated with cancer is as a result of radiation or chemotherapy treatments.\n\nRegardless, see your doctor.


What would be better to get fit and in better shape: swimming or spinning?

I think swimming, though if you are not an avid swimmer it is difficult to really get in a good workout. Spinning is great because almost anyone can do it and get a good workout. If you want some real fun though get a bike and get in with a group doing road biking!


There are hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy. If just one in out of every million of those had planets, and if just one of every million of those had life, and if just one of every million of those had intelligent life, then there would be literally millions of intelligent civilizations out there, just in our galaxy alone. And there are many billions of galaxies. If it is just us, seems like an awful waste of space.


SiO2. That's silicon dioxide, commonly known as quartz. It is specifically the variety of quartz known as chalcedony. The tiger eye pattern is created when quartz replaces crocidolite, a process know as psuedomorphism. Crocidolite is also known as blue asbestos, and is a fibrous mineral. Thus when the chalcedony replaces the crocidolite the original fibrous texture is preserved as the 'tiger eye' pattern of the chalcedony.

Adams, Samuel(1722–1803)» American politician and Revolutionary leader, born in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. A second cousin to John Adams, he studied law, failed at several business enterprises, became a tax collector, then devoted himself to politics. One of the first and most outspoken colonists to oppose British laws and policies, in the Massachusetts legislature (1765–74) he promoted corresponding with other colonies' leaders, wrote newspaper articles criticizing British rule, organized opposition to the Stamp Act in 1765, and composed and circulated a declaration of colonists' rights. He helped organize the Boston Tea Party (1773) and by 1774 was advocating open resistance to Britain. He served in the First and Second Continental Congress and signed the Declaration of Independence. At first he backed George Washington as commander-in-chief, but he criticized what he thought was an overly cautious pursuit of the war. Regarded as too radical by many, he resigned from Congress in 1781, but supported the Federal Constitution of 1787. He was lieutenant-governor of Massachusetts (1789–94), then governor (1794–7). \n© Crystal Reference 2004.

Which color would you paint your room and why?

That depends on your taste, and the style of the room.  If you live in a cold place, and you want to brighten up your room, go with a warm theme like orage/red.

What to do if you know something others do not about religion.?

Consider yourself blessed that you are able to perceive such signs and find compassion for those who have yet to learn to do so. If you could prove something scientifically it would be a state of fact or otherwise it would be an opinion. The definition of a belief is that it cannot be proven. I propose you let those know about your religious experiances who want to listen to you about them. The others are not ready to do so and thus just let them be.


Its the same with BOYS..\nTIME, experience, LIFE, the ability to deal with problems and solve them, basic controls of your environment, knowing SELF(who you are, what you are, what you DONT want to be, and how to change it), being your OWN worst critic(before others do it for you).\nMaking rules for your OWN life and living by them, and knowing WHY they are there, and you can justify EACH one.\nRESPECT for self, because if you dont have any, you cant GIVE respect to others.\nKnowing that Life in School, at your parents, and NOT in those places is ALL different.\nAND\nLearning to live on your OWN, and succeding.\nIn my life, I have learned that if you havent reached 25 and living on your own for at least 5 of those years, you havent learned ENOUGH.

Make some dye molecules or something.\n\nHope one of these ideas works for you.

why is it important for fraud examiners to follow up on even the smallest inconsistence?

Are you being investigated? Inconsistencies suggest fabrication, which suggests fraud, but not always. Someone who wishes to take advantage of a system (like a health or auto insurance policy) can falsify an injury, but with thorough investigation, a well-trained investigator can often discern between truth and fiction. BUT, anyone who has studied psychology knows that memory is unreliable, so errors and inconsistencies are human.\n\nWorthy point to mention: if you are ever involved in a situation that demands preservation of the facts, like if you are in an auto accident, document as much as you possibly can. Keep a camera in your trunk to snap photos of the accident scene, and get names, phone numbers and addresses of all involved in the accident and witnesses.


What's d diference between a directory and a search engine?

A search engine is normally an automated computer that "crawls" the web looking for pages. All the pages it finds are put into an index with key information taken from the title of the page, keywords, meta tags, and the copy on the page. People can then use keywords to search the index for any matches.\n\nA Directory is normally a hand built, human edited system, where people review each site individually before adding it into the correct category (or subject area). Users can either browse the directory by clicking through different categories or can search the directory for specific keywords.\n\nThe advantages of a search engine are that they are often more up to date with breaking news and new sites and have a much wider range of sites in their index.\n\nThe advantage of a Directory is that each site is normally good quality as it has been checked by a human and is less prone to being "spammed" by unscrupulous site owners trying to artificially inflate their ranking.\n\nSearch Engines:\nhttp://uk.search.yahoo.com/\n\nDirectory:\nhttp://uk.dir.yahoo.com/\nhttp://www.dmoz.com/

Where are all of the Apostles for today?

The Catholic Church also has the "same pattern" of bishop (episkopos in the Greek original), priest (presbyteros), and deacon (diaconos.) What distinguishes us is apostolic succession: a Catholic or East Orthodox priest can show how the line of ordinations in his history takes him right back to the laying on of hands of one of the apostles.\n\nHowever, I'm not going to argue that this is what makes an apostle. What makes someone an apostle is when every facet of his or her life is a response to that simple challenge issued to the original apostles: "Follow me."

If reincarnation is not true.....then how come some people relate themselves with their past lives?

Young people are exposed to a great deal of information, thanks to television, radio and the overall level of our society's common culture.  Also, being human beings -- a creature marked by its ability to synthesize new ideas from existing knowledge -- they are then able to frabricate new information (and stories) with their limited knowledge of 'the past'.  Add this to a human's ability to logically sequence together disjointed information (aka 'fill in the gaps') and you've got yourself a past life.  Not to mention reincarnation doesn't make much practical sense.   For one thing, there has never been 6 billion people, so where are all of these 'souls' coming from? Even if there were reincarnation, several billion of them would have just been floating around aimlessly for a great deal of time.


How much money can a person earn without having to pay taxes on their social security.?

If you're working for a business, you pay social security taxes as a percentage on the first dollar you earn. There's no exemption. On the other hand, if you work for a household--let's say as a babysitter--the household would be required to withhold and pay social security taxes for you if you earned more than $1500 in 2006.\n\nIf you babysit for several families, you may be considered self-employed. If that's the case, you may need to pay self-employment tax. That basically means you're paying both halves of social security tax: the half that is normally withheld from your paycheck, and the half your employee pays for you.\n\nTurns out, the best way to avoid social security taxes is to be rich. You pay a much lower rate after the first $94,200 of your 2006 income. And you don't pay any social security taxes on money you make from your money: interest, dividends, or capital gains.

when is the right time to kiss a lady for the first time?

I don't think there is an exact "right" time to kiss a lady, I think it has to do more with the mood! You have to ask yourself is there chemistry, does this feel right. Some people believ that if the first kiss goes wrong the whole relationship is going to be bad,  Some people dont kiss on the first date, some do! Like i said before, it depends on the person you want to kiss, and if it feels right to you, a kiss is a moment in time to be remembered!


Fast? You mean maximum speed or how fast it travel from one point to another? Well, to answer that, I will give you a brief description of the Black Hawk.\n\nThe Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk is a medium-lift utility or assault helicopter used by over 20 nations.\nIt has a maximum speed of 184 mph or 296 km/h and climb rate of 708 ft/min or 213 m/min. It's powered by two General Electric T700-700 free-turbine turboshafts. Both engine capable generating 1,560 hp and 1,163 kW. Black Hawk also has a ferry range of 1,380 miles or 2,220 km and combat range of 368 miles or 592 km.\n\nWell, I hope this can help you determine how fast is a Black Hawk helicopter.

All sorts of factors affect the suitability of the human body fluids to sustain life; these include properties like temperature, salinity, and acidity, and the concentrations of nutrients such as glucose, various ions, oxygen, and wastes, such as carbon dioxide and urea. Since these properties affect the chemical reactions that keep bodies alive, there are built-in physiological mechanisms to maintain them at desirable levels.\n\nHowever, it should be noted that homeostasis is not the reason for these ongoing unconscious adjustments. Homeostasis should be thought of as a general characterization of many normal processes in concert, not their proximal cause per se. Moreover, there are numerous biological phenomena which do not conform to this model, such as anabolism.


How do I start a computer training school.?

There's kind of a continuum of sports:\n\nfootball\nbasketball\nbaseball\nhockey\nsoccer\n . . .\n . . .\ngolf\ntennis\nracquetball\nfencing\n\nOn one side of the spectrum, there are all-American team sports. They're competitive, and everybody has a chance to participate in them. On the other side are sports that, while still requiring skill and athleticism, are individual hobbies or pastimes for rich people. They're self-indulgent, more than anything else. I'd also include polo on this side of the spectrum; even though it's a team sport, it requires enough money to buy a polo pony.\n\nYou might argue that fencing requires as much work to perfect as football. The response to that is: what's the work for? Self-defense? Nope, it's to show off one's skill. There's not really any team spirit or purpose to dedicate this skill to, so it seems like an idle occupation.\n\nThe other thing about fencing is that it's not popular, which (to my mind) implies that it's for snobs who think themselves too good for more standard sports.\n\nOf course, these are just stereotypes of mine; I know that fencers are (by and large) not like that, and they probably don't drink pinot noir and own homes in Cape Cod.


does school really help you for the future?

Ouch!  Hi MaggieSue!  A person definitely needs an education in order to learn new skills and know how to use them to the benefit of him/herself and others.  I say "Ouch!" because none of my kids (ages 24, 23, 19, 19, 18, 11, and 6) have ever been to school.\n\nHomeschooling is increasing in popularity, and is definitely an educational option for a large number of people.  Does this mean a person doesn't need to "do school?"  Not necessarily.  In homeschooling a parent directs his or her child's learning outside of a traditional school setting.\n\nWhile it is true that a doctor needs an education that is both definable and documentable, it is also true that many people learn skills on-the-job, work in apprenticeships, study on-line, take home study courses, volunteer to gain skills, join the armed services, or read to improve their abilities.\n\nAlthough college is becoming more important, and more skills require licenses and certificates, you may find that your talents lie in areas that don't require formal education.  Opportunities exist in floristry, landscaping, childcare, animal husbandry, farming, home health care, interior design, carpentry, etc.  \n\nIt is a combination of things that should help you decide the direction that you will choose concerning your education.  If finances are a problem, consider work study, scholarships and grants.  Consider some community college classes to help you decide if further education might appeal to you more than you think.\n\nDon't limit your choices.  Expand your options.  You will do well if you follow your dreams and work consistently toward your goals.\n\nGod bless your efforts.


You are off your rocker. She said she still "loves" you? Love means that when you take those wedding vows "I do", you are for one another. She broke those vows. Be a man, grow a spine, and tell her that if she wants that, get the eff out.  BTW, it sounds like it's easier for her to get some extra than for you to. You're in for a rough time.

WHAT to eat for losing weight\n\n• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.\n\n* Print these lists. They will be your ... "Bible", from now on !\n* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.\n* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)\n* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.\n\n\n• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)\n\n* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!\n* Avoid fat meat\n\n\n• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!\n\n• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits\n\n* Don't cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! \n* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!\n\n\n• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!\n\n* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.\n* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!\n* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). \n\n if u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound.  i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs


What are your thoughts about this phrase?

I believe we are set on a certain path for this life, and that path remains hidden to us until we pass on.  For this reason, life is better taken in stride, letting it unfold before you as opposed to expecting this or that.  We don't control anything, but rather live under the illusion of control.

Most hunters have a certain sense of stability, and are goal oriented.  They have planning skills, long range goals, are patient and understanding, and kind.  They practice, study, and pay up for their mistakes.  They really do feel bad when they are not accurate with their shot, and the animal has to suffer.\n\nThey also seem less whimpy than the co-worker that went on disability when the stapler attacked him!\n\nIf you have never gone fishing...go fishing.  It is not about catching the fish.  It is more about enjoying nature and getting out of the city noise.\n\nIf you have never gone hunting...sign up for a 5-day packing trip.  Bring your camera and shoot the wildlife with it.  You will enjoy youself and start planning your next trip when you get back to your desk job.\n\nAnd true hunters do not hang out in town with their camos on...because it would make them smell like people, and bacon, and coffee.  You are not going to catch anything smelling like that!

Last answer is correct. During winter, the earth is physically closer to the sun and during the summer, it is furthest. \n\nTilt is key. Its important that not only is there a tilt on the earth, but the direction of that tilt is not altered during the rotation of the earth around the sun. \n\nThe Northern hemisphere is always tilting away during the winter, and towards the sun during the summer. The tilt of the earth is 23 degrees. So lets say you're at 45 degrees lattitude. During the summer, the sun will rise to 45+23 (68) degrees because the tilt is towards it, and in winter, the sun only goes to 45-23 (22) degrees. There is a big difference between the sun going up 22 degrees and the sun going to 68 degrees.\n\nWhen the sun goes to 68 degrees, it is more overhead, and the earth therefore receives more of its rays. During winter, light rays are striking obliquely, and hence do not warm the earth as much.\n\nThis is why there are less variations of seasons around the equator, where the sun is almost always directly overhead all the time.\n\nAnd this is why seasons are reversed on the southern hemisphere. When the northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun, the south is tilting away.


Why does the United States of America, believe they can rule the world?

I think we're seeing the trend to the opposite  because so much of the world see's the U.S. that way.  And, the U.S. citizens are not the least bit happy about being seen that way.  If we wanted to rule the world we'd probably go ahead and become aggressive toward the whole world.  Unfortunately we're wrapped up in situations like Iraq only because we made the mistake of getting involved with the middle east after world war II.  Now we're so involved we can't get out without the middle east self destructing.  We can't leave or Israel would be a parking lot. So it's those things that keep us policing the world while we all hope in vain that the U.N. will start filling it's purpose.


FAFSA and Pell Grant are nationwide. CalGrant is California, but each state has its own grant program. If you're going to a junior college ask a financial couselor if they have a fee waiver, but before they can do ANYTHING you must fill out the FAFSA. If you're going to a 4-year college/university go to financial aid office they can totally get you whatever you need.


does any body know a website where i can hear the complete chronicles of narnia for free??


is the morning after pill the same as an abortion>?

No.  It can prevent you from ovulating in the first place (in which case there is no zygote) and it can prevent the lining of your uterus from building up enough for anything to attach.  Since this "not attaching" thing happens all the time naturally it is certainly different than abortion.  \n\nAn abortion is a surgical procedure with much more increased risk and cost and specifically targets the ebryo or fetus.  The morning after pill affects your uterus and your ovaries.  \n\nThere are people out there that will tell you that interfering with your cycle is the same as abortion.  I think that this information is misleading and irresponsible as there are clear differences.


Why don't people help each other anymore?

how do you get rid of your boyfriend without hurting his feelings?

Ok, so I had this problem too. My friend told me that I should tell them that they aren't my type. That way, you aren't exactly telling them what you specifically don't like about them. Or you could make him break up with you by making yourself unattractive or doing things that he doesn't like.

Is it possible to restore or enhance one's credit score without actually paying off one's debts?

Absolutely. Just keep paying against what you have on time. Single biggest factor impacting score is payment history. Next, if you have the ability, is paying down revolving credit like credit cards and the like. No need to pay them off - but if you keep them below 33% of the approved limit, you'll see your score rise.\n\nIncreasing income, by the way, has no impact on score.

One lunar distance is still a reasonable safe distance.  There have been some that have been a lot closer, within geostationary range (approx. 22,800 miles). Yes, any chunk of space rock will be preturb as it is more influenced by another gravitational mass (Earth, Moon, even the Sun and Jupiter), but by the orbital data on this particular rock and the angle it is coming in on, I doubt the influence would be remotely enough to put it on collision course with Earth for any time soon.

i have to find an object that is twice my mass?

I would bring a photograph of an object which is twice your mass.  If you are 120lbs bring a photograph of Chantek the 240lb Orang-utan from the site below.  Or how about you stand on some scales, take a picture of the display, scan it into a computer, then clone the display area so that you have a scale with 2 displays.  So, if you are 120lbs there will be one display saying 120lbs and another display next to it saying 120lbs.  You could get tricky and bring a video that has two recordings of the same Sunday Church Mass on it. You could write, "Your Mass Your Mass" on a sheet of paper.

Yes, the Moon does rotate around it's own axis.\n\nHowever, the reason we always see the same side of it is the fact that the Moon rotates about as fast as it makes one full lap around the Earth.  It takes about 27 days.  So, the Moon doesn't rotate as fast as Earth does(27 days compared to one day).


Following WWI at the treaty of Versilles Germany was declared to pay reparations for the war even through it had no funds to do so and WWI in general was a pointless war and fault was mutual all around. This is important for two reasons. One it cemented in Hitlers head that Germany was a scapegoat and two it gave him a chance to gain power as Germany went into a deep inflation and he prommised to bring Germany out, but he did so by building a war machine for which had to be put to use to be, well for the lack of a better term useful and to sustain Germany's economy. I hope that answer does not rationalize Hitler as he was nuts. Secondly at the treaty the delegates gave part of the sudentland which was part of germany away and this gave Hitler valid fuel to state that the Germany's citizens were deprived of self determination and what country they were going to belong to. Also in an attempt to smooth over relations with Japan after Wilson did not want them to hold power within the league of naions as they were asian promised them the shantung penninsula which was part of china, again violating the self determination of peoples, but at the same time giving japan a strong foothold in resource rich china which was important to Japan's new capitalistic economy that was struggling to survive as the US was dominant in manchuria and pacific. In order to become more economically powerful the Japanese attacked pearl harbor in the hopes that the US fleet would be destroyed and therefore not able to defend its overseas interests and consequently gain more control over its economy.

Temperatures of hot foods decrease as the foods steam (therefore giving OFF heat, and retaining less heat).  By blowing on the food we are (1) helping steam to whip away from the food faster and (2) adding our breath which is necessarily less hot than the heat of our food.  It's the same idea behind putting ice in a hot liquid, except our breath isn't as cold as ice.  If it were, we'd be running around causing all sorts of trouble.

Do I have an STD? if not how do I get rid of it?

There's no way you can be diagnosed over the internet, but STDs can be passed on by oral sex.  Doctors are a good answer, but from your story I'm guessing you're fairly young. Right? Well, if you go to the doctor you may be concerned about your confidentiality. That is, your parents might find out because in order to pay for it you have to let your insurance know and your parents WILL get the insurance bill. \n\nSafest bet... Try a testing clinic. Planned Parenthood is always a good place. It's not only for people who are pregnant or want birth control. Guys and girls can get tested there. They're all around the US and if you don't make much money they will test you for free. You really should call 1-800-230-PLAN to find out where a clinic is that's close to you. Trust me they are awesome (I used to work for them). It's totally confidential too and it doesn't matter what age you are. \n\nI'm not telling you that you for sure have an STD, but get tested for the peace of mind. If you let an STD go without treatment it can cause some serious medical problems. So, Check it out man. It's worth knowing.

What is better and can help to penis enlargement, brief or boxer shorts?

Boxers shorts allow a longer flaccid hang and lower testes temperatures which is beneficial to fertility.\n\nFor safe and permanent gains, use a medical traction device such as the Andro Penis. This method is based on using traction to permanently expand the blood-carrying chambers (the largest being the corpus cavernosa) of the penis.\n\nUse the Andro Penis device 4-9 hours per day for 3-6 months. You will have time-linear flaccid and erect gains. The flaccid gains appear first.\n\nI've gained permanently 1.75" length and 1" girth since June 2005 through the use of an Andro Penis medical traction device and PowerJelq for exercises. Try it, and you will be happy to see serious gains after 3-6 months usage.

what is the celeberation going on in south india now?

Celebration\nPongal is also known as Tamizhar Thirunal or The Festival of Tamils among the Tamil people. The Tamil language saying Thai Pirandhal Vazhi Pirakkum (தை பிறந்தால் வழி பிறக்கும்) -- literally meaning, the birth of the month of Thai will pave way for new opportunities -- is often quoted with reference to the Pongal festival.\n\nUsually the festival falls in the middle of the month of January in the Western calendar. The festival is celebrated for four days from the last day of the Tamil month Maargazhi (Dec/Jan) to the third day of Thai (Jan/Feb). The first day, Bhogi, is celebrated by throwing away and destroying old clothes and materials by setting fire on them to mark the end of old and emeregence of new.\n\nThe second day, Pongal, is the main day which falls on the first day of the Tamil month Thai (January 14 or January 15 in western calender). The Pongal day is celebrated by boiling rice with fresh milk and Jaggery early in the morning and allowing it to boil over the vessel — a tradition that is the literal translation for Pongal (in Tamil). The moment the rice gets boiled over and bubbles out of the vessel, it is offered to the Sun God, a gesture which symbolises thanksgiving to the Sun for providing prosperity. People also prepare savories and sweets, visit each other's homes, and exchange greetings.\n\nThe third day, Mattu Pongal, is meant to offer thanks to the cattle, as they provide with milk and are used to plough the lands. Jallikattu, a violent taming the wild bull contest, marks the main event of this day. On the last day, Kanum Pongal — the word "kanum" literally meaning 'to view' — youngsters used to gather at river banks to view and select their future life partners (which has fallen out of practice currently). People, especially store-keepers visit beaches and theme parks during this day in modern times. During the pongal season, people eat sugar canes and decorate the houses with kolam.


The best way to get sleep and indeed sound sleep is by doing really tiresome physical work. It may be anything like jogging, cleaning, exercising. Do anything that will make you tired and you will look for someplace to rest. Then at this instance, you will sleep so well that you will ENJOY your good well sleep.


Eisai was also instrumental in introducing tea consumption to the warrior class, which rose to political prominence after the Heian Period. Eisai learned that the general Samurai (Shogun) Sanetomo Minamoto had a habit of drinking too much every night. In 1214, Eisai presented a book he had written to the general, lauding the health benefits of tea drinking. After that, the custom of tea drinking became popular among the Samurai.\n\nVery soon, green tea became a staple among cultured people in Japan -- a brew for the gentry and the Buddhist priesthood alike. Production grew and tea became increasingly accessible, though still a privilege enjoyed mostly by the upper classes.

Great and cool question.\n\nFor most school projects, landscape mode is preferable unless you are doing a portrait.\n\nLandscape in this case means 6 inches wide by 4 inches high, like a standard photo print.\n\nHere are two reasons why:\n\n1. If this project is going to be projected using a computer, or displayed on a computer, it will fit much better on the screen if it is horizontally oriented.\n\n2. If there will be any text on the image, it will be easier to read if the page is wider than tall.\n\n3. Due to an optical illusion, a vertical (portrait) shape looks even skinnier than it really is, and this makes it harder to read.\n\nYou are talking inches right? 6" is 6 inches. 6' is 6 feet.

Desperate to find a SIMPLE way to figure out percentages!! Can u help?

Here in Slovakia, we use a simple formula to calculate percentages.  And yes, there are 3 kinds of percentage problems, but the formula applies to all of them, you just have to play with it a little bit.\nOkay, problem no. 1: there are 35 kids (total = T) in a class, 40% (P as in percentage) of which are boys.  How many (value = V) boys are there?\nHere's the formula:\nV = T/100*P\n(V = 35/100*40 = 14)\n\nProblem no. 2: there are 14 boys and 21 girls (T = 14 + 21)in the class.  What's the percentage(P) of boys (V)?\nSame formula as before, really:\nP = V/(T/100)\n(P = 14/(35/100) = 40%)\n\nProblem no. 3: how much did your shoes originally cost (T) if your 10% discount (P) meant $2 (V) off?\nSame formula:\nT = V*100/P\n(T = 2*100/10 = $20)\n\nOnce you know which is P, V, and T, you're fine.  You don't necessarily have to remember the formulas.

Turn on the computer. \nClick on start. Click on Run. Type in MSConfig. Then click on OK. You would have the system configuration utility. On that click on the startup tab. Under this, click on disable all. Then click on apply. Then check only those options that have a description of ur anti-virus and important software that u think is needed. Then click on apply again and then click on ok. It will ask you to restart the computer. Go ahead and do it. Once the computer starts up, it should be much faster. \n\nComing to the icons, first of all, what you could try is deleting them. Right-click on them and then click on delete. If that does not help then, right-click on the empty space on the desktop and then point to "Arrange Icons by" and then click on Show Desktop Icons, if it is already checked. This should take out all the icons from the desktop. \n\nAny other questions, get back on here! ;)


i found a bump on my vaginal area looked sorda like a mosquito bump/blister what could this be?

It could be any number of things and the only way to know is to take yourself to a doctor and ask! Don't wait! If money or secrecy is an issue, call Planned Parenthood for an appointment, they offer free exams and won't ever reveal that you were there.

Do you have to have alot of money to purchase your first  home.  And I wanted to know how quickly could I buy?

You can buy a home with as little as $500. Negotiate with the seller to pay closing costs. USDA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac all offer loans with 0% down payment. A lot will have to do with your credit. USDA allows for minor credit problems. Talk to your friends and co-workers to find a referral for a good lender. If you want to buy in Ohio, I can be your lender. :-)


Men, do you pursue a commitment with a woman more than 5 years older ?

As the old country and western song goes.... Older women make beautiful lovers.\n\nTo which I say... AMEN.


why did the athenians start using the system of democracy?

The main problem before the reforms of Solon in the early 6th century BC was class strife. There were very small numbers of people who had significantly more wealth than the rest of the city. His reforms intorduced the first democratic elements, but the civil strife didn't really go away and a tyrant took over until the late 500s BC, when Cleisthenes set up their democracy as we know it. The civil strife never really went away, but it was much better once every citizen had an equal share in government.
