It means that everyone is required to work together on something, usually with a sense of urgency.\n\nIt derives from a nautical expression when the shout would go out throught a boat for "all hands on deck" meaning everyone was needed on the deck to tend the rigging, masts etc in situations of bad weather and the like.


Prepare yourself for the unthinkable, war againsty Iran may be a necessity.\n\nThe UNIMAGINABLE but ultimately inescapable truth is that we are going to have to get ready for war with Iran.\n\nTehran threatended the US with 'harm and pain' for hauling them before the UN Security Council over its nuclear program. The rapidly intensifying crisis is like a train on a collision course.\n\nWhile we were chasing phantom nukes in Mesopotamia, next door, Iran was busy building real ones.\n\nThe unavoidable reality is that we now need urgently to steel ourselves to the ugly probability that diplomacy will not now suffice, one way or another, unconsciounable acts of war may now be unavoidable.\n\nThose who say war is unthinkable are right. Those who say the US should not send young boys to die in the Middle East far from home are right. Those who say war will foster more violence in the Middle East are right.\n\nMilitary strikes, even limited, targeted and accurate ones, will have devastating consequences for the region and for the world.\n\nAll the argument against a strike are fearfully powerful. But multiplied together, squared, and then cubed, the weight of these arguments do not come close to matching the case for us to stop, by whatever means necessary, Iran from becoming a nuclear power.\n\nIf Iran gets safely and unmolested to nuclear status, it will be a threshold moment in the history of the world, up there with the Bolshevik Revolution and the coming of Hitler.\n\nIran has stated that they will 'wipe Israel off the face of the map." They've stated that the 'holocaust was fake.' And the kind of society we live in and cherish in the West will change beyond recognition if Iran becomes nuclear. We balk now at intrusive government measures to tap our phones or other intrusions into our civil liberties. Imagine how much more our freedoms will be curtailed if our government's fear we are just one telephone call or e-mail, one plane journey or truckload away from another Hiroshima.

Scientology sounds like Jehovah witness?

the main thing these cults have in common is they was both started by con men looking to make a Quick Buck.

Christian fiction being a diffrent version of the bible and doctrines.


Many butterflies have patterns that mimic other things.  For example, there are some with large "dots" on their back wings...These look to predators to be the eyes of a larger animal, which causes the predators to look for another meal.\nOthers have bright colors that imply poison...Some butterflies are really poisonous to predators, and some use the color to scare the predators away.

Are they really conservative, Republican majority government that is... what about this?

They are not conservatives at all. They call themselves Neo-Conservatives which is not conversative at all. They are pro big spending, pro government, pro intervention, pro pandering to illegals, pro regulation, pro church inside of state.

It  was also covered in statues representing the the Pantheon of Mediterranean and middle eastern deities.

What is the meaning of the number 21 in the bible?

Below is a list of ALL the biblical passages that mention "21" or "21st".    But I'll state upfront that there is nothing in the context of any of these to suggest a 'special meaning' for this number.   Nor does any passage of Scripture teach us that we should expect every number or any given number we find to have a special symbolic meaning.  \n\nNow it is true that there are a handful of numbers which have special significance --mostly in very general ways -- but Scripture's own use of them (sometimes very explicitly pointing to their significance) is the basis for our saying they have special meaning.\n\nHere is a brief list of most of the numbers that commonly have some special significance  (Often the text makes that significance very clear.  In other cases they were ordinary forms of expression in the culture, as for example, the 'round numbers').  Note too that usage varies.  Not all these special uses are "symbolic."   Nor is there is any reason for thinking that EVERY time there is three of something it has one and the same significance (symbolic or otherwise), or even that every instance of the number three MUST have a symbolic meaning at all!  Rather, we must look at other evidence in the context to see how the writer is using it.\n\n1 - obviously can sometimes be used to emphasize that something is solitary/alone, one-of-a-kind ('only'), unified\n2 - may be used for contrast but also for a complementary pair; also to add assurance, as in the case of 'two witnesses' (required by the law to establish certain matters)\n3 (many stories are patterned in threes, curses may come in threes, lessons may be tripled for emphasis; also a 'three-day' journey may be a round number for 'a few days')\n4 (when connected with the 'four winds', i.e., directions or 'all sides')\n5 (possibly just a small 'round number', used for 'a handful') \n7 and 10 (often to signify a complete number)\n8 (in DATES, the 8th day is the same day of the week as the first, this may explain why circumcision is on the 8th day, since it parallels the first day, that of birth, it may be suggesting the idea of a NEW life/birth to God)\n12 (esp. associated with tribes of Israel, people of God)\n30 -with age: mature (specific applications to priests, a few individuals, such as Joseph, Jesus)\n30, 50 -common mid-sized groups of people (e.g., David's special guard known as "the Thirty"; small military units are often divided into 50s)\n40 (esp.'days' for a period of testing,  and years as a round number for 'a generation', i.e., the time between one generation of people and the next)\n70 (sometimes functions similarly to 7 for fullness; 70 sons = a large,full family; a whole nation [thus Israel has 70 elders];  70 years used for a full life-span)\n100 & 1,000 - large 'round numbers' (may be used for fullness; 1,000 may, at least in Revelation, esp. be used for to suggest the fullness of heaven)\n\nSometimes, esp. in prophetic visions, some of these numbers or multiples of them may have special significance (e.g., 144,000 = square of 12 [people of God] x 1,000 [completeness/heavenly number?]; and '666' which is related to the 6th day, on which man was created [and possibly on falling short of '7', a number of completeness])\n\nBut note that in general there are NOT a bunch of esoteric meanings here -- nothing about abstract concepts of personality characteristics, or things far removed from the text (that you might never have guessed!)-- and when there ARE unusual meanings (e.g., '666', 144,000) the context does something to point that out.\n\nAs for those lists you see, suggesting a special abstract meaning for each number (as someone has already cut-and-pasted above), these have precious little Scriptural justification.  They are often the result of someone counting the number of item

I have a condo, and I may need a roommate to asist with the mortgage payments. I'm not sure how to find one

I found one of the best roommates in the world from www.roommates.com \n\nKeep in mind the more info you list the better. That way you will only get serious people that are truly interested.

He's still our friend and after we left the apartment we even invited him and his fiance to our wedding.\n\nGive it a try, but keep an open mind. We found him after 2 weeks.

why writing all in capital in consider RUDE?

Writing in capitals is considered to be shouting, AND it can be hard to read.  \nCapitalize words only to highlight an important point or to distinguish a title or heading.


how can one stay focused and change his life?

Have you seen the movie, Apollo 13?  There's a part in the movie where they have no instruments to use but they want to make sure they're going the right direct.  They end up saying, "how about we just keep the earth in our window. Would that keep us on course?" \n\nSame idea holds true for us.  If we keep God, and everything he's done for us including his son, in the middle of our life's "window" then we can more easily stay going in the right direction.  Now, in order to do this you have to know who God is, you have to know what all he has done for you, and you have to know his word.  Once you know the basis of these things, always strive to learn more. The more we learn, the more we love and appreciate and will WANT to keep God in the middle of our life's "window."


who was Henry David Thoreau and what did he stand on/for?

He was a paradox: he was for civil disobedience (influenced Gandhi and MLK) but without the wish for revolution.\nSo he decided to protest in his little house of Walden, in the outskirts of his hometown. This apparent seclusion didn't prevent him to have dinner with his parents sometimes (lol)!\nHe went to jail a few times.\nHe also influenced the Transcendentalists because of his vision of Nature.\nInteresting persona, even though "Walden" is not always very existing!

Who still "sticks it to the man" in modern music?

Wilco; they made Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in 2001 and presented it to their label Reprise. They wanted changes to the album saying that it was not commercial and that it would not get played on radio. Reprise is a subsidiary of Warner Brothers.\nJeff Tweedy said no, the album was finished so Reprise dropped them and let the band buy it back for $50,000. Wilco streamed it on the internet which created large interest for the album . They signed with Nonesuch which is also a subsidiary of Warner Brothers which means that they paid for the same album twice. \n\nThat is how you stick it to the man.


Hmmm...sounds like you ARE 'worth' it, but she sure as h*ll ISN'T !!!! If she truly loved you she would support you and wait (seems at least you were trying to get things finished w/your ex) If she 'cheated' then and then turned around and did it again, then she ALWAYS will. You may love HER, but she doesn't love YOU. The hardest thing to do is to 'see' someone you love for who/what they truly are. I had to go thru it w/mine. I loved her and even asked her to marry me; she said no and less than 6wks later married someone else. (found out last week he left and they're going to be divorcing) Also found out after we broke up her nickname from the small-town she lived in was 'the town wh0re' (nice huh ?!) sure you'll probably find out petty much the same thing.....(sorry!) Don't waste your time on someone who won't give you theirs. \n\nHere's the other 'donwside' finding a good woman is about like going on a quest for a unicorn ( we've HEARD they exist; supposedly beautiful, magical, etc; some believe in them; none have been reported lately....... )\n\nTo get a divorce, things must have been bad with the ex-wife; and now then this..!!! Get a Harley, forget about women for a while and enjoy life ! Everything happens for a reason. Her f*cking everyone ELSE happened now, so that you won't have to go thru that later. \n\nIt sucks dude! Been there! you have my complete sympathy!\n\nHang in there.

What are the Pro's and Con's to buying a Condo, as opposed to a House?

A condo is great if you are a busy and do not have time for maintaining a home. You are buying Air Space. There are common areas and monthly Home Owner Association Dues. Usually your water,garbage, and sewer are included. The Association usually takes care of building insurance you only need renters insurance. It might even have a pool or tennis courts and a club house. Town homes are a little different you have your own entrance and usually there is still a HOA but it is yours. Some include snow removal and lawn care and landscaping. If you want your own back yard then you want a home.  But you do everything your self. There are Patio or Coach homes that are single family but maintenance free meaning they do all the snow and lawn. Same but different.


What do you think about teeange pregnancy?

there should be less and it keeps getting worst... don't they learn at school to f... use a condom and protect themselves??.. not only because of pregnancy but mostly because of aids and all that... there's so many small children that end up coming to this world infected because their mommy and daddy didn't take the time to protect each other... that pisses the hell out of me... \nparents should take responsability too... teach and talk to ur kids about it.. this can be provented!!

I don't know, but I yawned just reading your question! : )


If u were God, would u not allow a good person in to Heaven just coz they didn't believe in u?

God is perfect goodness. The cost for sinning just one time is eternity in hell. The only way to get forgiveness of sin is belief in the ONE pure sacrafice that God has given us. It's not something you have to bargain for, it's just there waiting for you to take it. If you are a good person, but don't have the sense to take salvation when it is offered so freely then it's your fault. God does not send anyone to hell, they send themselves by rejecting him. It is not his will that anyone should perish.

How long does it take verapamil to take effect?

It depends on dosage and route of administration. For IV administration it only takes a minute or two, but for pill form it can take longer (up to 30 minutes I'd say).  You should probably consult a pharmacist or physician for more specific info on it though.


What is the state of fire-solid, liquid or gas?

Fire is basically a mixture of hot gases.\nHence it's state can be taken as gaseous.\nI thinks "fire" in your question means flame.\nIf flame is very hot, then gases nearby get ionized and we get plasma- another state of matter


It depends. It allows the body time to heal in some cases. Some are even put in this situation (artificial or induced coma's)by doctors, in those situations its a good thing, beneficial. I suffer from Lupus which can in severe cases cause kidney failure, stroke brain disease etc. I have told my family and have a living will that if i am ever in the situation where there is no hope I do not want to be kept alive by machines. I have 5 kids. I would never want them to spend, or feel obligated to spend their days watching there mother like that. With that said if it were one of my kids on life support I'd probably fight them turning off the machine in desperate hope for the breakthrough or miracle cure. It's a hard question. I guess the answer is both


what programs can you print business cards?

I personally use Powerpoint.\n\nYou can also use Word.  The business card sheets come with codes that you can input into whatever program you choose to use them for, so they line up for you.


A mummy is the body of a person (or an animal) that has been preserved after death. Normally when we die, bacteria and other germs eat away at the soft tissues (such as skin and muscles) leaving only the bones behind. Since bacteria need water in order to grow, mummification usually happens if the body dries out quickly after death. The body may then be so well preserved that we can even tell how the dead person may have looked in life.\n\nMummies are made naturally or by embalming, which is any process that people use to help preserve a dead body. Mummies can be dried out by extreme cold, by the sun, by smoke, or using chemicals such as natron. Some bodies become mummies because there were favorable natural conditions when they died. Others were preserved and buried with great care.\n\nThe ancient Egyptians believed that mummifying a person's body after death was essential to ensure a safe passage to the afterlife.


Are the programs Filetopia and Limewire legal or illegal?

These kinds of programs were created as a means to share files from person to person that could otherwise not be transmitted through servers or Internet Service Providers with megabyte limitations.  You are supposed to be using these programs to share things that you own but have evolved quickly into the type of filesharing that most of us are familiar with now a days.  People put up their music, movies, programs, or whatever else they bought legally and share it with those who didn't.  The uploaders then in turn download the stuff others have put up there for free.  This is definitely illegal but difficult to regulate.  Giant corporation can catch you easily (Internet Protocol (IP) tracking) if you download their materials illegally, however it is time consuming and costly for them to do so.  Imagine presses charges on the millions of people who download illegally.  You will most likely be targeted only if you keep large collections of media in your library.  That will put you on their radar and you will become a juicy target to make an example of.  They target large collectors because they are also a large source from which others can download more stuff in sort of a viscious cycle.  Hope that info helps.  Good luck!


Has anyone heard of David Icke, a dude who believes their are human/reptiles living amongst us.?

I've heard of him.  I also heard a guy who thought robot aliens were running the NBA and IRS.\n\nPeople put out some interesting ideas, it'd be hilarious if it were true, but could you imagine how many people would have to keep their mouths shut so that no one ever found out?  Too d*mn many.


Because your heart is hard and your eyes are blind. Perhaps the very one you laugh at will grant you repentance, before it's too late for you. I certainly hope so.  James 4:9 "Let there be tears for the wrong things you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy."

What is the difference between climate and wheater??

Climate is more of a long-term, permanent state. For example, a rain forest climate would be wet and warm year-round. Weather is constantly changing; weather includes temporary states like rain or cloudiness. Weather is affected by winds, temperature and humidity.

can an attorney be a real estate broker in South Carolina?

I know you can in North Carolina -- here's the ruling from the State Bar in N.C.:\n\nAn attorney who is also a real estate broker may so indicate on his letterhead. He may operate both businesses from same office. \n\nBut you should just contact the S.C. State Bar -- they'll tell you, and probably can do so anonymously, if thats what you want.

Whats up with the title? That has nothing to do with your question, but it worked I guess... Because I clicked on it, lol.


Should I become a radiologist technician or a graphic designer?

What's more important? Doing work you like, or making money?\n\nRadiologists make good money, and are in demand. Reliable income, job security, forever.\n\nGraphic designers, if they work for someone else, make average to  middling money, but you will never make a lot of money (as much as a radiologist with some seniority) unless you are working for yourself, or have your own company with people working for you.\n\nI am an Apple tech, I support people working in the graphic trades - lots of competition out there right now. Hard to get good gigs, hard to make money, when some guy in South America can now bid on the same work, and undercut you. \n\nI have clients who are large design houses - I have individual clients working out of their homes - no one is getting rich in design right now - just paying the bills.\n\nMy buddy works in the Cath /Rad Lab at a big hospital - they are backed up - radiologists write their own ticket as far as work goes. \n\nSo - money vs artistic satisfaction?\n\nthat's the question


does any body  know the 7 sign that the world going to from the bible?

seven signs?  there are seven things that god hates and if you look in proverbs 6:16 you'll see them. a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witnes who speaks lies, and one who sows discord.  that is the scripture the movie seven was based on. is that what you were looking for?

Windows Vista: I just bought my first computer 1 month ago and it came with Windows XP..?

First Windows Vista is delayed until early 2007, so no need to do anything right now.  Most hardware purchased recently, if it is sufficiently powerful will be adequate for Windows Vista. I have the beta version (Community Technology Preview) running as a second boot partition on my PC and it seems to run fine.  One thing I did have to do was to upgrade my video card from the on board video to a separate nVidia card.  For the Aero UI (transparency effect), you'll need this.  Windows Movie Maker and other applications (like DVD Maker) probably won't run without it either.\n\nFor comparison I have a 3.2GHz 1GB machine, 250GB drive (with an auxilliary 300GB added later) and an nVidia 6800GS video card.\n\nWhether you want to upgrade is up to you, but I can understand wanting to be ready.  As someone else noted, since the product was delayed such that Microsoft will miss the 2006 Holiday Shopping period, they are going with a 'Windows Vista Capable' sticker instead.  Look for manufacturers to start selling PCs with this sticker later this year.


How can I improve my classroom management strategies in a Special Educatio classroom?

It would help to know what specific behaviors are causing you to ask for help.\n\nI have found that there are three primary causes for misbehavior in a special education classroom. Since you (presumably) are able to provide individualized instruction with more 1:1 time available, student frustration should be minimalized. If the kids are acting up, and when you seek to re-direct them, they are stuck about what to do to "get back to work," you need to re-assess your instructional strategies.\n\nAnyway... these are the sorts of things going on in my classroom. I hope some of these are of interest for you to try.\n\n1. The student is new to the program and has bad habits because in regular ed class he/she can just sit there and tune out. Call the student's name more frequently during instruction (in a conversational tone). I also do "round robin" for various skills on a regular basis...nothing like knowing that you're going to be called on to perk up attentiveness. I always make sure that if a student cannot currently answer, they can pass for the moment without penalty. I just smile, nod, say, "OK, well, think about it...I'm coming back to you..." As they crave approval, and they see the others succeeding at their own levels and getting praise and attention for it, they will start to come up with their own ideas.\n\n2. Lack of overall motivation. If a student doesn't understand WHY they have to do all this school stuff, they're not going to be motivated to do hard work with little or no value. I spend lots of time acting as a counselor. I start with the immediate rewards (I do a point system/token economy...you get points for every assignment you turn in, with prizes spaced every 50 points and a huge auction of books, computer programs, collectibles, and educational toys/puzzles at the end of the year). Oh well, no points, no prize!  One of the most valued prizes I have is what we call a "You Pick" in my classroom...the student selects one of the laminated You Pick cards from the prize box (instead of a toy or pencil). At any time, (tests or regular ed make-up work excluded), the student can hand me the card and be excused from the daily work for the time he/she is scheduled to be with me. The work does end up in the student's folder to be completed later. The student may quietly play the whole time (of course, everything in my room addresses academic, OT, and PT goals, but the kids don't know that). An unmotivated student, parked sadly at his desk while others play happily in the free time area, quickly discovers the drive to get one of those cards for him/herself. The interesting thing is that, as students become used to this option being available, they often don't take a card from the prize box, prefering a toy or pencil. They also save their card in their folder (they may only have one at any one time) for a day when they feel really off...and sometimes don't cash it in for a month or two! Anyway, once the student is driven to earn the points and prizes, we work hard on instilling the idea that print is a tool for success. We explore career choices and how print is used in different areas. I emphasize during writing assignments that writing is just talking with your pencil rather than your mouth. As students skills increase, I continually focus with them on how this helps make their lives better.\n\n3. Seeking peer entertainment. Since most of the students are caught up in #1 or #2 above, the occasional class clown is quickly quashed as his/her behavior is responded to negatively by his/her peers. Plus, loss of recess time, loss of points, loss of turn during round robins (hey, you'd be surprised...the class clown is bouncing up and down with his/her hand high in the air, and sighing in frustration as more quiet students are called on first), etc. helps emphasize the point to them...if you play now, you lose your play time for later. In addition

what historical background led to the passage of the 19th amendment?

It was the declaration that no state could prevent women from voting. Back then The lawmakers heard alot of pissing and moaning from their wives and the got cut off. They then went to their mistress and recieved the same treatment, this was a final straw for lawmakers so they did what they had to do.


What is the saddest day or year or perhaps month that you have experience in your life?

In theory, a very light weight space craft with a very large area "sail" could use pressure from sunlight itself to accelerate. Note that it is the actual sunlight, as in photons, that exert the force, not the solar wind, which is a stream of particles from the Sun. The solar wind does not exert nearly as much force as the light does. Hard to believe, but true.


Choose your favorite new CD, or a book, and obtain prices for either product at five different Web sites.?

FOR A FRIEND: What is the protocol for a girl when the engagement is broken? Return the ring or keep it?

I think she is having a lot of emotions about the ring. It was a symbol of love and she is mourning the loss of the relationship and the promise that was made. Every time she looked at it she was reminded of the love that they had created together and the hope of their upcoming future together. \nI'm surprised no one said....sell it and get something eles!\nA woman who was truly in love with the man could never sell the ring because of what it stood for. She would never want that ring to be on another finger representing the same things for another couple.\nIf it is kept, what will become of it. It will not ever be used again.........and will only be a reminder of the heartbreak that she had to endure.\nI would say, even though it will be very painful to part with it, she should send it back to him. I personally, would send a heartfelt letter explaining how hard it was to do that because the ring was so symbolic of all the love that they had shared together, etc.

Where I work they take part of my salary for tax purposes, how can I make sure they take the right amount?

Ask a public tax advisor. Or find a website for your country using the searchwords "payroll" +"tax deductions". This might bring you to a website that offers free calculation of your salary, including tax and social security deductions. If all this doesn't help, the best option might be to simply ask the person who is responsible for your payroll how they calculate the tax deduction.

Are jealousy and possesiveness bad for a relationship?

Jealousy and Possessiveness are signs of romance, not Love.\n\nIf you are in and want just a romantic relationship, then they have their place.  If you are looking for a long term relationship or Love, then they are totally out of line.  They are signs of immaturity and lack of trust.\n\nPeople dating often see no wrong in these.  Married couples always seem to find them harmful in the long run.


Why do people ask such long questions when with a bit more thought they could be short and to the point..?

I've noticed that intelligent people can make extremely difficult concepts and questions easy, short, and to the point. Whereas folks lacking in cognative power can turn something very easy into a confusing, long-winded mess.


I've been married now for six years. The marriage is crumbling.?

What you are describing is an abusive man.\n1. You do everything for him\n2. He never does anything\n3. When he doesn't get his way he threatens to leave, but doesn't\nI'm sure this is just the tip of the iceburg. He sounds very controlling.\n\nWomen in your situation often only find the strength to move on when they've met another man. It could be like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Please ask your new man to wait.\n\nSometime when you're sure you are alone check out the National Domestic Violence (abuse) Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) and their site at http://www.ndvh.org/educate/abuse_quiz.html Be sure he's not around or do it at someone elses house so you are safe. They can give you the number for your local program.

At what age do u think its ok to loose your virginity?

It is not about age. It is about whenever you are ready to assume the responsibility of caring for another person in an intimate way.\n Besides the person you are having sex with you might also consider if an accident occurs what you are going to do about pregnancy.\nThat you ask the question might be an indication that you are\nnot ready.

my friend got killed on 4-5-06 i'm still having a hard time understanding why? am i wrong to question god?

A very close friend of mine, Teresa, died a while back from cancer. She was young, just starting a teaching career, full of life, enthusiasm and love for people, especially kids. She was diagnosed with cancer a few days before her wedding (not to me) and died a few weeks after their first anniversary.\n\nAt her funeral I absolutely expected God to raise her from the dead - God had done it before after all. Then we were at the graveside and still no knock on the coffin lid.\n\nWhen her coffin was lowered into the ground and I tossed my flower in on top my world collapsed. I hated God with an absolute passion. I cursed God, swore at God, I told God just how big of a b*stard "he" was. I kept going to church but I wouldn't sing or pray (although every time I abused God I was actually praying, ironic hey). I went to church for the sake of appearances - I was a longstanding youth leader at my church. I kept asking all of the WHY questions but didn't get a single answer.\n\nEventually (a couple of months later), still in my anger and bitterness, God spoke to me (understand that however you like) and said ... \n\n"Will you trust me even if you don't understand?"\n\nI didn't expect that response from God. But here I am a few years later, finally able to talk about Teresa without crying and studying to be a pastor of the Lutheran church. \n\nTime does help to heal these wounds. But being honest with God, even in your anger or confusion is also helpful. Ultimatly you probably won't get an answer to the why questions. But I hope that you can eventually receive the peace that God is offering to you in your grief.

The obvious choice is Brazil.  No other team has that amount of firepower.  They did nothing in qualifying to suggest they have any real weaknesses.  They won in 2002 with half of the talent they have now.\nHowever, expectations are hard to overcome.  Which suggests to me the possibility of a fluke loss somewhere in the elimination rounds...perhaps to Italy in the round of 16 or Argentina, Netherlands or England in the semis.  Yet these three latter teams are too inexperienced.  Only Italy has the defense to take them into penalties.  Thus, Italy beats the favorites in the round of 16, and goes on to win the World Cup with stingy defense and a lot of luck and boring draws.\nItaly's Buffon wins best player after making vital penalty saves.

Ladies, would you date a married man?  To the guys..would you date a married woman?

I agree that it is wrong and a sin to date a married man/woman.  But the world is not just black and white, it has many colors.  Like if the guy/gal is married for convince like money I would think that it would not be totally out of the question.  There is also the situation where they are married but legally separated again not out of the question.  So, I guess it would depend on the situation.


What are the physical consequences of not drinking "pure water" daily?

A few things first:\nPure water can mean two things: Actual pure H2O, or distilled water, with no minerals or anything but water. Bottled water is really either spring or tap water that has been filtered.\n\nYou don't want to drink only distilled water. I've tried it, and due to the lack of minerals that are found in either bottled or tap water, I experienced severe muscle cramping all over my body within 1 1/2 days. Generally, people receive the necessary minerals for their body to work properly through water. Removing those minerals causes deficiencies, which makes your body not function properly.\n\nDrinking enough bottled water or tap water (there is a difference, but it is only minor in the US) is necessary because: 1. Your body is made up of over 70% water, and it is required to keep your body function properly. 2. Water helps the body remove waste. 3. It provides the necessary minerals that are so hard to get from any other source.\n\nIf you do not drink enough water daily, the results can be dehydration, a build up of toxins and waste within your body, and if severe enough, is a cause of death.\n\nGenerally, tap water is tested regularly by the local, state, and federal governments, and is safe to drink. Some countries prefer bottled water because the tap water is not safe to drink. This is not the case in the US.

does anyone have any details on extreme manic bi-polar disorders? my x was diagnosed & he's scaring our  kid

Do you honestly feel that he could be violent? Was he ever threatening and violent with you?\nBi-Polar (manic depression) causes periods of extreme down moods followed by extreme highs. It won't cause him to be violent unless he already has it in him and you will know deep down whether or not he has got it in him.\nI know you are exremely worried. The only thing I can say is to try and keep an eye on the situation and maybe keep a record of the phone calls and any other abuse she may recieve. The more you have the more the police will help in these situations if it comes to that.   xx

Do you say: "Peter and I" or "Peter and myself" or "Peter and me" which is correct?

Depends on the sentence.\n\n"Peter and I" is a subject, so it is used in the appropriate case:  "Peter and I went to the store." (Peter &I=subject)\n\n"Peter and me" is an object, so it is used thus:  "Do you want to come to the store with Peter and me?" (you=subject; Peter&me=object)\n\nTry this as a useful rule of thumb:  pretend Peter isn't part of the equation (the proper noun portion of the phrase) and focus on what the correct grammar would be for the pronoun portion of the phrase (You wouldn't say "Me am going to the store," or "Do you want to come to the store with I"--that's your key).


Is it ok to say that God hate homosexuals?

Lots of questions!!!  \nAccording to the BIBLE... it is not okay to say that God hates homosexuals.  because God does not hate them, He is against what they do...homosexuality. Actually they are going against God... here is the proof... Romans chapter 1.\n1 "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,\n2  (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)\n3  Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;\n4  And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:\n5  By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:\n6  Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:\n7  To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.\n8 ¶  First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.\n9  For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;\n10  Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.\n11  For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;\n12  That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.\n13  Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,)that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.\n14  I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.\n15  So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.\n16 ¶  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.\n17  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.\n18  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;\n19 ¶  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.\n20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:\n21  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.\n22  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,\n23  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.\n24  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:\n25  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.\n26  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:\n27  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.\n28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;\n29  Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malig

what is a moon snail and where would I find one?

The moon snail is a large gastropod typically found partially buried in sand and mud beaches. It can attain a size over 5 inches in shell diameter and can extend a fleshy foot to over 12 inches in diameter. As large as this foot may seem, it can completely fit inside the shell after expelling considerable amounts of water\n\nWhere to find?\n\nLow tides in the spring and summer are the best time to look for moon snails. At this time, they come into shallow water lay their eggs. Moon snail egg cases, commonly called sand collars, appear to be thin pieces of rubber in the shape of a round collar. They are composed of snail eggs sandwiched between layers of mucus coated with sand.

How much is the salary for Open Water Scuba Instruct?

It depends where you're going to work, and what kind of employment package you get. From personal experience of working in the Red Sea, Dominican Republic, Cyprus and Australia, what you get is what you agree with your employer!\n\nThe best deal I ever got was with Extra Divers in Makadi Bay (Egypt) - we got a starting salary of Euro520 per month (going up to 600 after two months, 800 after one year), plus commissions based on how many certifications the dive centre issued per month (worth between Euro500-1000, depending on the season - it was a busy centre!), plus accommodation, plus two meals a day from the staff kitchen (although the food wasn't that good!)\n\nThe worst was probably the Dominican Republic, where the boss was an ***hole, and tried to pay us in Dominican Pesos (which lost one third of their value in the six months I was there). Salary was worth about US$350 per month (before devaluation!), commissions were a joke, accommodation was provided, but we had to eat in the hotel staff canteen for lunch, which was awful, AND the diving conditions were not that good either!\n\nFew tips if you're working in the Third world: first, make sure you'll get paid in hard currency (US$, Euro, or GBP) - for sure the boss is taking hard currency payments from the guests! Secondly, buy a return ticket good for at least the first three months - that way you've got an exit if you need it. Thirdly, check out diving websites where your prospective dive centre is rated, ideally by both guests and staff - but if the guests weren't happy with the service, that tells you the staff aren't happy working there

Tell me your views on the movie "Brokeback Mountain"?

One of the best movies I've seen in awhile. Some friends at work have been making jokes about it ("Butt-Crack Mountain", etc) but after I saw it, I stopped laughing at them. I've heard folks say it was a pro-gay film but the movie didn't glorify homosexuality at all. In fact, it scared some people even furthur into the closet. My wife and I talked about it for days after we saw it. It will stay in your thoughts for some time after you see it.

How do I convert my LP records into MP3 files or digitize to CD's?

Teac makes a pretty good looking box. I have seen a couple of services out there but it really depends on what you are trying digitize. If these are rare recordings then I would look for a service that has the ELP Laser Turntable, unless you have $12K laying around. Other than that the quick and easy way would be to use a line in to your computer from your stereo receiver and capture the source using an application like Audacity(free) and get the LAME encoder to convert to MP3. It means you have to do the work, but it isn't hard.

indiscipline in todays educational institutions?

Society is changing and so the schools have to change with them, coupled with so called liberal laws that don't allow students to be properly disciplined is a good recipe for mayhem. It will only get worse and there is no better to go. The violence that fills the halls at the school is a tell tale sign of what a sad future it will be a few generations down. Instead of evolving mankind is dumbing down. Reverse evolution has begun


Will another country ever officially declare war on the US again?

Of course. The US has enemies like any other country.


We have two types of receptors (light-sensitive nerve cells) in the retina of the eye.  The two types are called 'rods' and 'cones.'  The 'rods' (so-called because of their shape) respond to low-levels of light and are useful for night vision.  However, since all rods are pretty much identical, they do not distinguish between colors ... our dim-light rod vision is "black and white."\n\nThere are three types of cones (again, so called becaues of their shape).  One responds to long-wavelengths of light, what we call the "reds".  One responds to medium-wavelengths, what we call "greens".  And the third responds to short-wavelengths (the highest energy), what we call the "blues" (unless you live in Mississippi, then the "blues" is something different :-) ).  \n\nThese ranges of wavelengths for the three types of cones are not exclusive ... they overlap.  In other words, the long-wavelength cones also respond to medium wavelengths, although to a lesser extent.  Because they overlap, every object that gives off different mixtures of wavelengths affect the different cones by different amounts.  This experience is what we call color.  (Unless you live in Britain.  They don't see in colors.  They see in colours.)

What are the main duties and responsibilities of a procurement officer or buyer.?

A procurement officer/buyer's general duties include procuring any goods and services needed by his/her company in order for it to go about its business. A procurement officer/buyer is expected to ensure that any goods or services procured are obtained at the most cost-effective prices, and within the shortest span of time possible. More specific duties and responsibilities will depend on the nature of the company's business, the company's corporate culture, etc.


Should all Politicians be surveyed by law and punished severly if found to be involved in corruption ?????

There should be an investigative commitee to determinme whether their (politicians) actions are valid and warranted. This way the decision is not left up to the politicians and their so called advisors. Half the time I think that the "intelligence" they "gather" is either scripted, made up , or false. Now watch I get drafted for just writing this. later.

As a Hindu, yes I believe in reincarnation. The atman sheds one body just as we change clothes, to take on a new body. With each incarnation we have the chance to advance spiritually and eventually achieve moksha. Some can do this is one lifetime, some need several lifetimes. Moksha is a lot like the Buddhist concept of nirvana. Moksha means "liberation" and "union". The Atman is liberated from the cycle of samsara and finds union in Brahman (the word Brahman comes for two Sanskrit words Brih Manah which translates as Great Consciousness or Expanding Consciousness, although it is usually translated into English as Cosmic Consciousness). In many of the Upanishads the message is quite clear that everything is Brahman, everything manifested out of Brahman. The atman is Brahman. Tat tvam asi. Thou art that.

You can generally tell how good a seller is by their feedback rating located in the upper right hand corner of the auction screen.  If the feedback states "Private" then you should be wary.  Also, if you use Paypal to pay for the product and it is not what it states that it is, then you can make a complaint to Paypal and most likely get your money back.


Does working out make you lose as much weight as if you go on a diet?

yes but having muscle causes you to burn more energy, so it helps burn the fat. if you want to look better, or be a better athlete you dont just want to lose fat but gain muscle too. its not your weight that matters, but your fat that is bad. also diets can become less effective because your body learns to use less energy, but if you excersize, you keep using energy and it makes your diet more effective. do both.

this is a scam.  first you need to pay a \n$35 membership fee before you buy tickets.  Season ticket holders pay a discounted rate for tickets.  they give them back to the cardinals, then the cardinals sell them for the going rate, which is always more than they were originally bought for.  The rich guys found a legal way to scalp tickets, when we would get arrested for doing this on the street.


To be a good wife, you must be loving and caring, and loyal to your husband. Did you ever  say to him, "I would do anything for you", and really mean it?  Well, if you did, and you still provide such care, then you are a good wife.  But, it does not work one way.  Eventually, even a "good" wife gets tired of neglect and abuse. So, in order to be a really good wife, the man must also be a good husband.


What is the cost of a gallon of milk in 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001?

Sorry, I don't know, but it gives me the opportunity to remind people of milk in byegone days:\n\n                        Sweet Maisie.\n\nMilk didn’t come in bottles, when we were little boys,\nSo going to the dairy, was one of life’s true joys,\nFor if it were sweet Maisie, who served you out the measure,\nThe extra cup was yours to sup, a memory to treasure. \n\nKathleen only gave us, exactly what she should,\nAt times a little ‘tilly’, we always prayed she would,\nThe youngest of the sisters, I now forget her name,\nWas quite as bad as Kathleen, and dished out just the same.\n\nOld Tom, the three girls’ father, and the owner of the farm,\nNever used the measure, to him it was the norm,\nYou see, he never had a son, and treated all us boys,\nWith lots of cream from off the top, and pence to buy small toys.\n\nThe level mark inside the can, that my mother scratched,\nHad to be watched closely, to ensure that the milk matched,\nFor if you got too greedy - drank more than Maisie gave,\nMy Mum would note the difference, and fly into a rave.\n\nBut last time I was over there, the farm it is now gone,\nNew cottages and houses, the land is built upon,\nYet as I stood and looked around, I saw the corner stone,\nWhere I would drink, the extra milk, before I wandered home.\n\nSo God Bless you, Tom Costello, though sadly now not here,\nAnd to his lovely daughters, to them I raise a cheer,\nTo Kathleen and the youngest, who sometimes drove me crazy,\nI thank you all, for what you gave, but especially you Sweet Maisie.\n\n                         --------------\n\nThanks Netborja for the opportunity..........

Does anyone know of any activities (sports, social...etc.) for expat kids in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia?

Ok, if you live in a compound then that shouldn't be a problem at all, as all compounds offer alot of activities, and it is a better social life for you and your children, to meet other expatriates.\nHowever, if you do not live in a compound, then the best thing to do is buy a copy of Riyadh today, you will find it at any newstand, in it there is a whole section of sports round up, it offers details & phone numbers for every sport available.

Why do people say Nothing is impossible when 70% of things are?

Bacause Nothing is impossible. Just because you can't make it possible, doesn't mean that someone somewhere sometime can't make it possible.


You have to be careful in your minimum pricing or reserve price.  People on eBay are looking for bargains, and many people's items go unsold because they are overpriced for THAT market (as opposed to the regular retail value of an item).  Try searching similar items, and on the left under the search box, you'ss also find a box to check for COMPLETED LISTINGS.  You can research what did and did not sell, and the listing or selling prices of similar items, so that you can price your items competitively.  Good luck!


It probably means how the test is given.\nMight be a paper and pencil test.\nMight be on a computer, where you click the answer with the mouse.\nIt might be an oral test, where a person in the room with you asks questions.\nIt could be a performance test where there is a problem you have to solve using real items.\nI mean i guess theoretically it could be on microfiche or\nvideotape or almost anything.


what are the different types of computer networks?Explain each briefly.?

Types of computer network\n\n1) A bus network is a network architecture in which a set of clients are connected via a shared communications line, called a bus. There are several common instances of the bus architecture, including one in the motherboard of most computers, and those in some versions of Ethernet networks.\n\nBus networks are the simplest way to connect multiple clients, but often have problems when two clients want to transmit at the same time on the same bus. Thus systems which use bus network architectures normally have some scheme of collision handing or collision avoidance for communication on the bus, quite often using Carrier Sense Multiple Access or the presence of a bus master which controls access to the shared bus resource.\n\nA true bus network is passive – the computers on the bus simply listen for a signal; they are not responsible for moving the signal along. However, many active architectures can also be described as a "bus", as they provide the same logical functions as a passive bus; for example, switched Ethernet can still be regarded as a logical bus network, if not a physical one. Indeed, the hardware may be abstracted away completely in the case of a software bus.\n\nWith the dominance of switched Ethernet over passive Ethernet, passive bus networks are uncommon in wired networks. However, almost all current wireless networks can be viewed as examples of passive bus networks, with radio propagation serving as the shared passive medium.\n\n\n2) Star networks are one of the most common computer network topologies. In its simplest form, a star network consists of one central switch, or hub computer which acts as a router to transmit messages.\n\nWhen applied to a bus-based network, this central hub rebroadcasts all transmissions received from any peripheral node to all peripheral nodes on the network, sometimes including the originating node. All peripheral nodes may thus communicate with all others by transmitting to, and receiving from, the central node only. The failure of a transmission line linking any peripheral node to the central node will result in the isolation of that peripheral node from all others, but the rest of the systems will be unaffected.\n\nIf the central node is passive, the originating node must be able to tolerate the reception of an echo of its own transmission, delayed by the two-way transmission time (i.e. to and from the central node) plus any delay generated in the central node. An active star network has an active central node that usually has the means to prevent echo-related problems.\n\n3) A ring network is a topology of computer networks where each node is connected to two other nodes, so as to create a ring. The most popular example is a token ring network.\n\nRing networks tend to be inefficient when compared to star networks because data must travel through more points before reaching its destination. For example, if a given ring network has eight computers on it, to get from computer one to computer four, data must travel from computer one, through computers two and three, and to its destination at computer four. It could also go from computer one through eight, seven, six, and five until reaching four, but this method is slower because it travels through more computers.\n\n4) Mesh networking is a way to route data, voice and instructions between nodes. It allows for continuous connections and reconfiguration around blocked paths by "hopping" from node to node until a connection can be established.\n\nMesh networks are self-healing: the network can still operate even when a node breaks down or a connection goes bad. As a result, a very reliable network is formed. This concept is applicable to wireless networks, wired networks, and software interaction.\n\nA mesh network is a networking technique which allows inexpensive peer network nodes to supply back haul services to other nodes in the same network. It effectively extends a network b

Here's a little logic question I've just invented for all you boffins...?

You are the one who can do doodoo. \n\nThats because I do judo when I do doodoo. So if I am not doing judo, there is no way I can do doodoo. Besides, I can't do doodoo if you happen to be doing voodoo, which you happen to be doing when you ask this ghastly question. \n\nYou, for your part, are doing voodoo, and there's no rule for you about not doing doodoo when you are doing voodoo. \n\nSo you are the one doing it. Lucky you.

How can I improve my credit that I messed up with unpaid magazine subscriptions?

The problem with simply paying off the debt does not remove the negative report from your credit history.  They may show the debt paid, but it will still reflect late payments, or that it went to collections.\n\nIf you choose to go this route, be sure to get IN WRITING a letter stating that they will remove this debt from your history BEFORE you pay a dime to them!  \n\nHere is a better suggestion.\n\nSend the creditor a demand to VALIDATE your debt.  That means they must send you copies of you contract, bills, receipts, and anything that can prove you have a legal obligation to pay this debt.  \n\nIf they do not respond back in 30 days, send a copy of this letter to the credit reporting agency, along with a demand to remove the entry due to lack of validation.  They must remove the entry or risk a lawsuit for violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.\n\nBe sure to send all letters by certified mail, so you have proof they were sent and received.  Otherwise you have no proof to show the judge if you go to court.\n\n\nMany of these magazine companies don't even keep your contracts on file, and it will be impossible for them to prove your debt.  Rather then spend a lot of manpower searching for these records, they will simply opt to remove the listing.


Which body system is directly responsible for delivering nutrients to cells in the body?

can i sue my dad for back child support, or is that something my mom would have to do?   thanks?

Please verify with your state, but here in California, he owes it until it is paid. Your Mom is the payee, so you as the child can't get it, but she doesn't need to pay for an attorney. Have her get in touch with the Family Services department of your local court house and they should have free instructions on how to file a claim, maybe even offer a free class to walk her through it. Based on his income it may be a stupid small amount, just a few bucks a month, or they may seize his assets and she'll get a big chunk all at once. The good thing is they can seize his income tax returns and charge him interest. It's definately worth looking into. Good for your Mom for being such a trooper and taking care of you by herself!

Be yourself, that's the best advice.  Don't act like someone your not just to get friends, people will eventually come up to you and talk to you and if you are yourself, you will make friends easily.  Starting high school with no friends is tough, but you'll get through it, I had to go to 4 different high school and I didn't know a single person in any of them, but now I have some life long friends and don't ever regret it!! \n\nSo just be yourself and the friends will come to you!! \n\nGood luck

Anyone have any slow pitch softball hitting tips?  Or any good hitting websites?

First, don't try to "kill" the ball. That will throw you WAY off. Either right or left handed, you can swing sooner and/or later and shift which way the ball goes...best way to hit is stand straight with the batter's box and when you swing, step in to the swing. This will give you more momentum on your bat.\n\nOne of the biggest mistakes that you can do, though really, is "killing" the ball. A lot of times, it will send a ball straight into foul play.

DSL provides an ongoing, uninterrupted connection to the Internet, where as dial-up provided a connection only as long as you were connected (duration of the telephone call).  Having your PC connected non-stop to the Internet (especially if you don't turn your PC off ever) sets your computer up for constant attacks via your DSL connection.\n\nUnfortunately in this day and age, one has to have multiple software packages installed on their machine to combat these threats.  Here are some free ones that are pretty powerful as well as popular:\n\nAVG (free virus protection)\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/1\n\nSpybot Search & Destroy (free spyware remover)\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html\n\nAd Aware (free spyware remover)\nhttp://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/\n\nRunning all three of the programs on your computer will make a world of difference in terms of speeding your overall computer perfomance back up.

why is extacy illegal when alcohol and ciggarets are not?

Not sure I understand your question. Alcohol and cigarettes are legal but use of them under a certain age is not.


What's your opinion on the whole "being open minded" idea? (kinda long...)?

You are confusing two separate issues:  being open minded is a different quality from being amoral.\n\nOpen mindedness is a form of humility. (Remember, that's one of the classical virtues)  It means that you don't assume that you know better than another person what is right for them or for their culture.  It is especially important in a globalized world where people from many cultural backgroungs intermingle.  Keep in mind that things like tatoos and piercings are considered normal in many cultures. Likewise, the degree of separation for "normal" sex varies between cultures, with first degree cousins being at a very reasonable distance for some. (Even in the Bible)  Being open minded merely means that you accept that others may have different standards.\n\nHowever, this is distinct from saying that you do not have your own standards.  Even an open-minded person can --and should-- have personal beliefs.  For you to believe that it would be wrong for you to have multiple piercings or homosexual sex shows that you have a good grasp on your own priorities.  You should know and be able to vocalize your own beliefs.\n\nThe line between "having strong beliefs" and "being a bigot" or "being close-minded"  comes when you try to force your beliefs on other people against their will.  For example, I believe that it is wrong to eat meat which comes from factory farms because the degree of cruelty at those institutions is so severe. However, I would probably not attempt to force people to become vegetarian against their will, or discriminate against them for refusing to follow my beliefs.  \n\nA while ago Europe and America both made the decision to support religious freedom.  This stopped the religious wars between Protestants and Catholics. The modern ideal of "being open minded" stems from that ideal, by recognizing that all morality (even that of an atheist) is essentially the same as religion. Just as people should have freedom of religion, they need to have freedom of moral belief, inasmuch as neither treads on the rights of others. (e.g. No human sacrifice, and no murder....)
