Well, I don't know everything but here are some things ...\n\n1. They are building a new city the size of Philadelphia (1 million people) every month.  The Chinese economy is BOOMING.\n2. They can make furniture of same quality as Broyhill, and sell this furniture to Broyhill for the price Broyhill pays for just the wood in the US (The point is that China can make and export almost everything we make, for a tiny fraction of what it cost to make it in the US).\n3. Chinese national pride is HUGE, and so Chinese do not like to buy American.  But, Americans love to buy Chinese (Almost, everything you see in Walmart is Chinese.)\n4. China's military is getting ready to take back Taiwan (they have a HUGE military build up working in that direction).\n5. China's military is recruiting engineers at a very rapid rate.  Soon, they will have a VERY advanced military.\n6. China is making some strong treaties with Russia.\n7. China announced a few months ago that they are launching 300 satelites "to watch their people".  You don't need 300 satelites for a country that size.  300 satelites are enough to watch the whole world.\n\nSo, to summarize . . . The US has become the middle man of the world economy, and China is the manufacturing center.  If the world decides to cut us out and buy Chinese at the same time the world decides that the US should pay $10 or $20 per gallon for gas (which may happen), then China becomes the new World Power and the US becomes a third world country full of starving people (of course, WWIII might come first).\n\nPray that our next president is a great diplomat and not a John Wayne want-a-bee.

What is the Phosphorus Cycle and is there a song or rap to help you remember  the steps of the cycle?

Phosphorus comes from soil and rock and enters the biosphere through dissolution by water. Plantsabsorb this phosphorus as an essential nutritent for growth, and animals obtain it by eating plants. It then returns by decomposition and from animal waste products to the soil or to sediments that eventually become rock. Here is a good flow chart:\nhttp://www.lenntech.com/phosphorus-cycle.htm\n\nI can't help you with the song idea. It might be a good idea, but being a visual learner, I can't conceive of one.


What do you prefer, rap, hip-pop, rock, or disco?

I prefer rock (Foo Fighter, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, etc.), although I occasionally do listen to some rap.

can I claim "head of household" if my 27 year old son lived with me and didn't work for half the year?

What do you do for lonliness and depression  when the dating sites dont work?

No matter what your level of disability it's clear you can write and convey your thoughts to others. Have you considered becoming part of a community group? Maybe your church does good works, or has some sort of program that encourages outreach?\n\nThere's also attending classes at the local college or university, maybe even doing something online? \n\nI guaruantee that it's not because of your disability that you're having trouble finding someone. You want a decent good hearted person right? Well that person wouldn't care about your impedments. It's just that your life path hasn't crossed his just yet. He's out there, wondering if he'll ever find you...\n\nPut the loneliness and depression aside as they are self-indulgent.

It should be important to everyone in your community to bring the killers to justice, but maybe this is a fight you'll have to fight for a long time. May your faith help you through this struggle.\nThis might be a good time for some "Chicken Soup" books to be borrowed from the library. Maybe the folks at the library could even advise a way to get to and from there.\nMaybe they could even suggest a place to take classes in the area, maybe a Parks and Rec, or a community center building in town?\nSometimes you have to put yourself out there. It can't be easy to deal with the circumstances of your situation and I don't mean to sound as if I am trivalizing your concerns. In fact I agree that you are probably a hundred percent correct about your surroundings. Thing is SOMEONE is going to have to change that, for you, for other people like you, and even for the people unlike you who don't realize things need to change.\nSpeak to the people in your City Hall about arrangements being made (transportation and otherwise) for the people with various "challenges" in your town. If they aren't helpful right from the get go, it might be time to enlist the help of the American with Disabilities.\nIf it sounds like I am assigning you to a crusade, you're right. I think the powers that be brought you to that little town in hopes that you might bring about some change. There is someone right now, or in the foreseeable future, who couldn't speak fom themselves, who doesn't have the strength of character you do, who needs you to help people SEE.\nYour daughter believes in you, knows you're up to the task. She's watching right now, hoping you'll smile. \n\nDear heart , please remember that for many of us, it's a struggle to find companionship. Maybe right now the focus should be just on building your circle of friends (step in the right direction is posting here at Yahoo Answers).

did they have paper airplanes before 1900?

I'm sure they did. In China, there was this game you can try. Empty an egg on one end. Let dry. Light a joss stick and place burning end slightly into the hole of the egg held upright. Feel the egg lightly lift up and let go. It's an amazing childhood game we use to play. Better than paper airplanes.


If you had $1000 to invest in a mutual fund, which would you choose?

Why do companies do credit checks before considering employment?

Also they check your credit to see if you will be a high risk of; A. wanting more money or B. they think that people with bad credit will be more likely to steal from the company. \n\nIf it shows that you are always in default on your house or car loan then how responsible are you going to be at your job? And on the same note, they will think that you will be looking for a higher paying job while employed with them because you are in debt...\n\nThese aren't my views, I am a firm believer of second chances (I have been through bankruptcy so I know how it is to struggle) but I also have been through many HR and recruiting classes.


can you recommend on a good "Remote Control" software?

From the point of inbuilt support, Windows offers 2 softwares, namely NetMeeting and Remote Assistance Feature.\n\nNetmeeting : NetMeeting delivers a complete Internet conferencing solution for all Windows users with multi-point data conferencing, text chat, whiteboard, and file transfer, as well as point-to-point audio and video. This white board feature is which you want. You can learn using it at : http://www.microsoft.com/windows/netmeeting/\n\nThe other feature is Remote Assistance(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/remoteassist/intro.mspx). It lets you stream your screen and its controls with someone else when you need help.\n\nPersonally, I have tried various tools that share your desktop screen and controls. From that point, I would not recommend these 2 utilities, because of following reasons:\n\n1) You need MSN Messenger for using Remote Desktop\n2) Hence, you also need an account at the Passport Network of MSN\n3) You can share screens between 2 users only,\n4) Its pretty resource consuming on systems with lighter configuration\nIf you take my word, try TightVNC (http://www.tightvnc.com/). It is a free remote control software package derived from the popular VNC software. With TightVNC, you can see the desktop of a remote machine and control it with your local mouse and keyboard, just like you would do it sitting in the front of that computer. TightVNC is:\n\n* free, GPL-licensed, with full source code available;\n* useful in remote administration, remote customer support, education, and for many other purposes;\n* cross-platform, available for Windows and Unix, compatible with other VNC software;\n* well maintained and being actively developed.\n\nThere are other like RealVNC (http://www.realvnc.com/), GoToMyPC(https://www.gotomypc.com/) and around a hundred others for the same purpose. But I prefer TightVNC because it is the lightest on resources and most easy to use. I have tried experiments from buffering Video Game screen to streaming your screen on 22 PCs in a chain (not directly). When using other tools, Video games gave a lower FPS( frame per second) as they were consuming more CPU cycles. Also, the time delay in chain screening ( one comp receives and sends its screen to the other comp), was heavy with other tools. Some other services are http://www.logmein.com. Hope this helps you.

As I understand it, you can recharacterize it as a Roth IRA next year. However, at that time you will owe taxes on the value of the account (which will likely be greater than the initial amount invested).\n\nIt only makes sense if you expect to be taxed next year at a lower rate.

When someone looses a lot of weight, where does all the fat and "disposed" weight go?

from what I learned in my anatomy class, when you gain fat cells you never lose them. They shrink when you lose weight. Thats why overweight people have to stick with a healthy lifestyle after they lose a bunch of weight because its so easy to enlarge those fat cells again if they go back to bad eating habits.

Here's a simple way to "find" it:\n\nWith your lover lying down on her back, legs spread, kneel (or otherwise arrange yourself comfortably) so that you're between her legs, with your hand in front of you, so that (with proper lubrication, or sufficient arousal on her part, so that it's pleasant for her) insert one or two fingers (nails clipped, fingers clean) into her vagina, palm up.\n\nGently curl your fingers toward, you, palm still facing upward, so that the middle of the top joint of each finger (the spot where a fingerprint is taken) presses gently against the wall of her vagina, right under her pubic bone. \n\nSOMEWHERE in that area, more or less in the center (it may be up or down from where you first try pressing) is the g-spot. It often seems to, once found, be a slightly raised mount versus the area around it, but not enough to be able to easily find by touch.\n\nThe best way to be certain you've found it is to do this during sexual play, especially cunnilingus. If your lover's already quite simulated, she should feel, after gentle, repeated pressing on the right spot, an increasing sense of arousal, which can build up into a far greater orgasm than she normally has.\n\nEven women who normally only have one orgasm, and then are "too sensitive", can sometimes have multiple g-spot orgasms. One needs to pause, fingers still inserted if possible, while she catches her breath for a moment, then VERY gently begin repeatedly pressing the area. She may find, to her possible surprise, that it still feels good, not overly sensitive. One should lay "off the" clitoris until she begins to get quite aroused again, though.\n\nHere's a site with much more detail about this and other sexual techniques:

1. Inspect the barrel to insure it is clean and empty.  If recently fired, wait several minutes before firing again.  It is best to “swab” the bore with a damp sponge.  You want to be 100% certain no live ambers are in the barrel before loading it again. \n   2. Insert a 6-inch piece of fuse all the way into the vent hole and bend it at the top so it is perpendicular to the hole (at least 4 inches of fuse should be exposed) .  This insures that a spark doesn’t pre-ignite the powder in the barrel. \n   3. Determine the correct amount of black powder to use based on the bore diameter of your cannon (chart below).  You can always use less!  A small amount of black powder (thimble full) produces a boom!  Use only fg or ffg black powder.\n   4. Pour the powder into the barrel, or if using the foil pouch method, making sure the powder is all the way back in the bore.  A wooden ramrod works well.  It is not necessary to “pack” the powder.  Keeping it confined is the objective.\n   5. Wading is not necessary for blank loads, if desired, a small amount of waded, dry paper can be used.  Make a ball and push it all the way back against the powder charge.\n   6. Never “double load” a barrel.   Use only 1 powder charge, 1 piece of wading.\n   7. Check around the cannon area making certain it is clear.  Announce that the cannon is to be fired.\n   8. Light the fuse and retreat.  A 6 inch standard fuse gives you about 10 seconds to get away.

how does salt affect boiling point of water?

It causes the water to boil at a higher temperature.\n\nAs soon as any of the salt dissolves in the water, the boiling point of the water will begin to rise -- by about one half degree Celsius for every 58 grams of salt\ndissolved per kilogram of water. In fact, any non-volatile soluble substance will raise the boiling point of water. That is why antifreeze(ethylene glycol)provides boiling protection in winter as it simultaneously provides freezing\nprotection in the summer.\n\nhere's a good site with more info:\nhttp://www.freesciencefairproject.com/projects/effect_salt_boiling_water.html


Adult learner part time, having trouble getting algebra. Is there help out there somewhere?

You might want to look into a program called Math Advantage (you can look it up on Amazon.com or probably get a used one on eBay).  I used it in high school for pre-calculus and again in college for calculus and it was really good at explaining things.  Another thing that I found helpful for economics in college (and probably would work well for math) is to type the name of the concept you're working on into Yahoo! or Google.  For example, if you're stuck on the Quadratic Equation, type 'How to solve the quadratic equation' into the search menu will provide a link to losts of helpful sights, and usually discussion groups.  Also, I'm sure the university or college you're taking classes at offer tutoring services (probably free) and most new copies of textbooks give you access to online study areas.  Hope this helps.


WHY IS SOMEONE WHO CONSUMES LOTS OF ALCOHOL LOOKED DOWN UPON BY SOCIETY?

It's not the volume, it's the control. If somebody chooses to drink a lot, most people would say, that is their choice. If somebody can't control their drinking (i.e. get drunk in inappropriate situations, or behave inappropriately when drunk, or drink away money that they don't have), it certainly is a problem.

Is it true that Gary Webb proved that the CIA purposely introduced drugs to the black community to destroy it?

No.  He alleged that the Nicaraguan Contras were selling drugs in the United States to fund their activities in South America.  This has been pretty much proven true through numerous documents and interviews.\n\nWhat he implied in his reporting and following speeches was that the CIA knew this was going on and, since they supported the Contras, allowed it to continue unhindered by police.  The has never been proven (although most related parts of the investigation were sealed as classified documents).\n\nThe biggest claim of the CIA-Contra link came from two drug dealers.  Norwin Meneses Cantarero, who was a former Contra turned drug-lord claimed he was able to operate in the US because the CIA kept the police away.\nAnother was drug kingpin, Oscar Danilo Blandon, who during the early 1980s, was the largest supplier of cocaine in the United States.  Upon his arrest, he claimed he was getting his drugs from Nicaragua, and the CIA was helping him.  Both were seen as drug-dealers trying to salvage themselves through conspiracy theories, but their claims still remain and others have come forward to both verify and disprove their claims.\n\nBut as to the idea of your question that he proved the CIA introduced drugs into black communities to destroy them, it isn't true.  He alleged that the CIA protected drug dealers to give money to the Contras.  And Cocaine was just as destructive to white communities during the time of the alleged CIA-Iran-Contra affair as it was to black ones.

I have a pet product import and manufacturing company. I love my job. I am 31 and started the company 10 years ago during college at UC Berkeley. I make between $300,000 and $400,000 a year depending on how sales go each year. I am investing the extra money in real estate development and that is starting to take off. If you are thinking about a new career, I highly recommend the career that no one ever thinks to recommend...consumer products' design and manufacturing. When I was thirteen I wanted to be a fireman or a pirate. When I was 19 I wanted to be a plastic surgeon or an orthodontist. Now I am glad that I am in manufacturing because I get paid the same even when I don't show up.  One piece of advice, get paid for what you know, not what you do. My dad and sister are doctors and they only get paid when they are working...they are ALWAYS working.

What was before the big bang that created the universe?

This is a question that neither science or religion can ever "prove."  In our human capacity, it is unlikely anyone will ever know the answer to this.  How can you even take a scientific approach to this?  You can speculate how the universe appears to be created based off measurements in the space, but you can always ask the question "but what about before that?"  \n\nUltimately it comes down to faith, and I don't necessarily mean in a God.  You have faith that the universe was started somehow.  Either God or some unexplainable cosmic phenomenon that we will never understand.  Or both!

The average weight in the us is overweight, probably 180lb or more.  The ideal healthy weight is more like 140-165lb.  If you are more muscular, then that can go up considerably and may even on most charts tell you that you are obese, but everyone knows that muscle weighs more than fat.

i want how to gain high score in ielts examminationi.I speak very bad since i live in vietnamese?

Dinh,\n The best way to gain knowledge about spoken languages is to listen to them. If you are around English speakers enough (I assume that that is what ielts exam is for - anglais) I learned so much more quickly when I listened to native speakers. There is no way to substitute that experience. If you cannot be around english speakers, buy a tape of french - english translation.

is there a diferince in performance when racing with big rims (18) insted of small (15)?

What the previous answers don't consider is that taller rims are usually matched with shorter sidewall height (lower aspect ratio) tires.  Frequently, the overall hight of the wheel and tire combination is not that much different.  The hight of a 15 inch 70 series tire may only be a fraction of an inch different than that of a 18 inch 45 series tire. \n\nA lower aspect ratio tire is usually wider that the taller tire, and a wider tire usually means better traction and more turning force on dry pavement. A lower aspect ratio tire also has stiffer sidewalls for less flexing and more stability, but the real benefit of the larger wheels in a racing situation is that you can fit larger brakes inside the larger wheels.  Larger brakes mean more stopping power, and less brake fade due to heat buildup. These are important considerations in racing.


Wat is the direction of maximum ascent ?

To find the direction of maximum ascent, find the directional derivative (DD), and find the direction where it has its max.\nNote: This is the equation of a plane, so the directional derivative is independent of the point where it is taken.\n\nIf v is a unit vector, then the DD in the direction of v, is the vector dot product of v with the vector  formed from the two partial derivatives\nPartial Z with respect to x is 1.5\nPartial Z with respedt to y is -.8\n\nDD = (1.5, -.8) dot v\n\nSince v is  unit vector, you can represent it\n\n(sin t, cos t)\n\ngiving us DD = (1.5)sint - (.8)cost \n\nTo find direction the max, take the derivative with respect to t, and set to 0.\n\n0 = (1.5)cost + (.8)sint\n-(1.5)cost = .8sint\n-1.5/.8 = tan t\n\nThe solutions to that say that v has the same direction as either of the (non-unit) vectors\n(1.5, -.8) or (-1.5, .08). The first is maximum ascent, the second maximum descent.


How many touchdowns has Tiki Barber scored?

Tiki Barber currently has 50 TD's in his career (1997-2005).


Good question.  I believe that the "best answerer" is the one who does the best job in answering your own question, and that may change from question to question.  If you receive say eight answers to a serious question, hopefully all will try to be helpful and having different views may lend depth and confidence in the best answer.  Also different and valuable sources may be provided to assist in your own further research.  The scope of questions runs the gammot from frivolous to trivia to fun to very serious as it should.  Total points and level are just frosting on the cake IMHO.  Good luck.

How do I switch my CD burning rom to the DVD buring rom?

There is not really a way to switch it, unless you turn your CD drive in for a DVD rom drive at some computer store, where you can burn CDs, but usually you can only burn CDs on dell computers.

What is hypoglycemic skin and how can it be treated?

Your blood sugar levels can cause dry, itchy, or irritated skin. Treat these with lotions and medicated creams.

How many embassies and consulates are in the US, and how many forien embassies and US consolates are abroad?

Usually, each country with diplomatic relations with the other has one embassy in the capital where the ambassador is and consular offices in different parts of the country, if it is large enough. There are 268 US embassies and consulates, including missions to international bodies, such as the UN and NATO. Since diplomatic missions are, in their nature reciprocal, one can assume that there are likewise 268 foreign embassies in the US, but also a large number of consulates beyond that. The site below has a list of every embassy and consulate in the US, but it's on 34 pages and I don't really want to count it.


Various explanations for the apparent high number of dissapperances have been put forward, ranging from the mundane to the hyper-fantastic.\n\nSkeptics contend that this region has a comparable rate of maritime and aerial incidents as any other similar sized region of the ocean. They point out that Lloyd's of London, a world-reknowned insurer of maritime vessels, does not charge a higher insurance premium for ships that regularly traverse the triangle.\n\nScientific considerations for an increased dissaperance rate take into acount that this region experiences severe tropical storms and is the source of many hurricanes. These storms create an increased danger to both ship and air traffic.\n\nRougue waves have also been put forward as a possible cause. These rare waves can reach heights of as much as 100 feet (30 meters), easily swamping most ships. Rouge waves, however, would have no effect on air travel.\n\nA third scientific explanation is methane hydrates. Methane deposits on the ocean floor may release bursts of methane gas that reduces the density of the water it permeates. Since ships rely on displacement to stay afloat, a reduction of density in the water would cause a ship to immediately sink. As the methane leaves the water and rises into the air, it would reduce the density of the air as well, thus reducing lift on aircraft, causing them to descend rapidly. In addition, the methane would change the air mixture taken into the engines of the aircraft, causing the engine to stall. While these events have not been witnessed in nature, they have been proven in lab experiments.\n\nMore exotic explanations for the Bermuda Triangle include it being an area of magnetic disturbance, temporal (or time) holes, the location of the lost city of Atlantis, or extra-terrestrial abduction.


If you knew your best friends lover was cheating on them,would you tell your friend?

YES! But if possible, come bearing proof! Your friend may be upset and even think you are lying; your friendship may be hurting for a while depending on the kind of person she is, but YOU are her BESTfriend, you should give her the respect and loyality that title deserves. You WILL NOT be responsible for their break up...her man will. Break it to her gently and tell her first that you would never do anything to hurt her unless it would hurt her more not to know. Reverse the rolls...if your lover where cheating on you and your bestfriend knew...would you want her to tell you? How would you feel if you found out and KNEW she didnt tell you about it months before??


Go to your local pharmacy or drugstore.  You can purchase a product called "RID". Its a shampoo that kills headlice.

Very important to stip bed of sheets and pillow cases and wash in hot water as soon as possible, too.   Good luck!  (Rid is sold over the counter, btw..so don't be embarrassed.)

If you are proud of being Mexican then you better not ignore this and leave a message saying u are proud?

I AM A PROUD MEXICAN!\n\n              VIVA MEXICO!


Heh, heh... thanks bro. ;)\n\nI have seen some rare textual changes that have changed the meaning or even elimination of a word because they could not see how it fits. Hebrew letters can look very close to one another, much like our "l" and "i". So any distortion in the leather parchment could be a problem or the flaking of the ink could cause problems as well.\nMy mentor once told me that when the military creates a complex code, they transmit it with parity, or multiple times, so that if the coded message is in any way garbled, they can compare it to earlier or later transmissions. The Bible does the same thing by repeating the important messages several times. This is why Deuteronomy is called Deuteronomy. It's "repeating what we already know is true".\nCan these people explain to me why the entire 2,000 year old Isaiah scroll found in Qumran is virtually identical with the modern copies found in every synagogue in the world?\nRemember that Revelation carries an eternal curse of damnation for anyone who adds or subtracts from the text of scripture, and I do not think King James was hoping for political advantage at the expense of his soul.\nToday, we still have the original Hebrew and Greek text. Changing the scriptures would offer us ZERO political gain. Yet is still translates the same as the original King James, only with todays vernacular. \nI wonder if these people even research beyond their own notions. Do they have such skepticism when they read their dosage instructions for medication?

What are the reasons for college students for achieving a degree program from an accredited online university?

Online college is for people who are to lazy to go to traditional college. \n\nDisadvantage is you dont get the eperience one gets when sitting in a class of peers. \nSome companys question how much you really know about a subject when you did everything online with no hands on training. \n\nThere are many disadvantages..... not so many advantages if your genuinely wanting to learn.

first. ALWAYS start with the inner parentheses and work outward. \n\nSo removing the parentheses we get:\n\n-30x+9 + 30x-30 = x -7\n\nWe can combine the x's on the left side and the numbers. -30x + 30x is zero, so:\n\n-21 = x - 7\n\nWe need to get rid of the -7, so we add 7 to both sides\n\n-21+7 = x -7 + 7\n\nso -14 = x


All of us feel like hypocrites sometimes. Forgiveness can happen because of who God is and the decisions He makes. Not because of who we are. The discomfort you feel can be very helpful because it can help you to make new decisions and try a new direction. Some sins are so much a part of our nature that we need a lot of time and a lot of forgiveness before we begin to master the part of our will that keeps making us mess up. Don't give up, and don't dwell too much on guilt. Spend your time being grateful for the forgiveness and for the opportunity to try again. God loves us as we are where we are right now. He will never love you more than He loves you right now and He will never love you less. You have started down a good path. Give yourself a chance and some time to grow.


I would like information on how to write an essay on the history of a bookshop, please.?

If you have a particular bookshop in mind call the owner or manager and ask if you can interview him or her. Prepare a list of questions before you go such as : When was the store opened? Who was the owner? Why did they open it? What kind of books did they stock then? What kind of books do you stock now? Why the change? How you had any authors visit the store? Who are your customers? Are they different then the kind of people you have had in the past? And so on.\nAlso contact your local public library and see if they have or can help you get any articles on the bookstore. Have fun.

Why is anti catholic hate speech tolerated.?

Other religions are bashed all the time, don't feel singled out.  It is true that christians are bashed alot, but that is because the general public feels that christians are the most repressive of other religions.  Pagans(so called heathens), Afgani's religion ( so called towl heads), even buddists catch crud.  Most especially pagans, even over christians.  So don't feel bad, and don't feel like it's only christians, everyone else gets it too, even in movies.  The best way to be, is a accepting, caring, good christian, and not let it get to you.  Everyone has free speach, even people you don't want to listen to, and freedom of religion applies to all religion, so get used to it.

I wouldn't call 2 eggs daily "excessive"; however, studies have shown NO health risk involved with (reasonable) consumption of eggs, so the "eating eggs is bad for cholesterol levels and your heart" story has been largely relegated to myth status. \n\n"The April 21st issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA1999;281:1387-1394) [1] reports a study by Hu and colleagues from the Harvard School of Public Health which found no relationship between egg consumption and cardiovascular disease in a population of over 117,000 nurses and health professionals followed for eight to fourteen years. There was no difference in heart disease relative risk between those who consumed less than one egg a week and those who ate more than one egg a day."

In spanish: is it Yo soy disordenado or Yo soy disordenado (I'm a girl)?

If you are describing yourself (you said you're a girl) it's desordenada.\n\nFrom your question I can see that you're still confused with the grammar rules of Spanish.  This is not conjugation, but rather creation of an adjective from a verb.  When you do this (in general) you drop the -ar, and add 'ado' if you're talking about a masculine noun and 'ada' if you're talking about a feminine noun.  That's why "desordenado" would be the adjective to describe a boy and "desordenada" would be the adjective to describe a girl.\n\n'des' is always the prefix in Spanish.  There's no 'dis'.

Where did the name "pinkie" (finger and toe) come from?

Just a guess, but the term pinkie is also used in reference to newborn rodents, as they are usually small and pink, lacking any fur. A pinkie mouse is about the size, and rough shape, in the pseudo-fetal position, of a pinkie toe. \n\nJust a guess, but it kinda makes sense.


How can you have a "partner for peace" ?

> Don't you have to make peace before you become partners?\nNot necessarily, just a willingness to open dialogue.\n\nGeorge Mitchell and his team achieved this in Northern Ireland.\n\nBill Richardson achieved a dialog with North Korea.\n\nPeace does not have to mean flower garlands in the streets, it can simply be an improvement over what preceded.\n(viz.: Kosovo)

What is the difference between "interest" and "operation of capital"?

Interest refers solely to the payments received for use of money. That is, the amount of the investment * the interest rate.\n\nOperation of capital is found by subtracting all costs associated with the investment (transaction fees, associated accounting costs, etc) from the interest payments.  Operation of capital is a much more real-world measure of how the investments are paying off.


It was great. It's a plot you go into the movie knowing, and to have the movie move you still, means it is a great movie!\n\nI've seen many people claim it's too long and that they should remove stuff before they reach Skull Island. I think the opposite, some of the special effect sequences (which were great) could be removed. The story of this movie is more about the relationship between the characters and the ape, not so much an action flick.\n\nI can see why Jackson did it that way though. For a movie to be financially successful it generally has to do well in the US market. The US movie-goer is very hooked on action and special effects, so that had to be in there along side the emotional story in order for it to be liked in the US.


Oh boy, and some would still argue that liberalism is not a mental disorder.


zeppelin was spiritual because of robert plant. plant has always been a seeker of a higher influence; thus his travels all over the world to places like morocco, africa, india, you get the idea. plant definitely wanted to have an effect on people that was more than just a great song (mr. page's department). the lyrics are always poetic. page and plant did a song on their no quarter dvd called 'most high' and it's a good example of their spiritual stuff. so, in short, plant was the reason behind zep's 'spirituality'.

quote:\n\nthe so called criminal justice system is the worse crime in america. for alot of reasons\n.....\n\nfor example???.. dont you love it when people say something stupid.. and dont even have the courtesy to expound on it.. ??\n\n\nwell sure.. lets just let all the killers out of their cells.. sex offenders?.. lets just drop them off at the nearest playground.... jeez.. \n\nback to the initial question now that its out of my system...\n\nno its not right to send an innocent man to prison.. but.. no ..its not a poor vs rich issue either.. not only does the US government pay for the lawyers .. they pay for the lawyers who try to keep you out of prison.. isnt that funny?..\n\n>>your brother.. if in fact innocent.. has many options to pursue here. legal aide is available to anyone.. the government lets you appeal cases all the time. over and freaking over.. spending large amounts of money and court time....\n\n>>bottom line sir.. i dont buy your story.. its either fictional or there are some other factors involved...\n\nother factors involved.. i just did a post on this .. from another question.. \n\nrarely are people innocent for anything.. contrary to belief.. police dont just pick someone out of crowd and say "hes the murderer".. your brother almost certainly was involved in something that you are failing to meniton or are not aware of.. i stake my reputation on that... \n\ni have sympathy for you.. but i dont for your brother.. \n\nif in fact that he is innocent.. and is released upon an appeal.. there is a crime commited here.. you are correct.. its called "wrongful prosectuion".. which is generally settled through monetary means.. police and states attorneys are not going to be sent to jail for doing there job.. sorry to disapoint you.. \n\nbut im sorry to say that it is 99% unlikely that he is not guilty.. \n\ni think your scenario is fictional because you are leaving out some key details.. \n\njury.. ?.. murderers are tried by 12 carefully selected peers and agreed upon by both the prosecution and the defense teams.. \n\na jury has to unanomously agree in guilt or innocence.. which goes back to my point about this scenario being highly unlikely.. \n\nif the story is true.. however.. i think you are a naiive young man to believe your brothers absolute and total innocence.. but i admire you for it nevertheless.. my sister would sell me out for a nickel..\n\n-----\ntattydragon.. just guessing.. but im willing to bet you have been on the wrong side of the law once or twice.. you protest too much..


is it legal in the state of alabama to sell alcohol to someone who is over 21 with 20yr old with them?

I worked as a store clerk for a while in alabama and mississippi.  They taught us in training that if a person comes in that is underage, with a person that is of age, and goes to the cooler with them and picks out the beer, then we can't sell.  That is concidered like contributing to someone underage. The cops would actually set up stings like that to get clerks arrested.


In the movie K-PAX, was PROT really from K-PAX? Do you believe him and why?

Prot showed that he knew the complex orbit of his star system when no one else on earth did.  Also, he said how he traveled and was quite able to see into people's problems.  However, in the entire movie there was no evidence for either side really, so I would have to say it's a question of faith.  But my faith is that he was from K PAX


What's the deal with women removing all their pubic hair?

It's more comfortable, looks better, and gives a little more sensitivity during sex.  As for bushy becoming trendy we'll cross that bridge when we get there - I really don't think that this is caused by trends it's more like girls share with each other and some girls may be inspired to try this if they haven't but overall we're not shaving our crotches because everyone's doing it, we're doing it cuz it's what we want for out crotches.


what should i get my boyfriend for Valentines Day?

depends what his like and how much you want to spend. I bought my boyfriend an ipod nano for his b-day and he loves it cuz he can workout with it all the time!


Yes eat vitamin C like oranges and citris fruits. Also warm things like soup. Sunlight and rest are inportant. \n\nThere is also something called kombucha that heals about everything. It is a Fungus that grows in tea and you should look it up.


Do Burton Albion split gate money with Man Utd 50/50 in the FA Cup replay at Old Trafford?

i think so... that's why yesterday during the match, the commentator said, "the coach (burton albion's) wanna win this match, but the director says lets drew it and take it to Old Trafford" and then all his colleagues laughed...

How do I clear my disc cache... It is not an option on my Norton Anti virus scan options...?

To clear your Internet Explorer cache: Tools, Internet Options, General, Delete Files.\n\nTo clear various unused files on the entire disk (WinXP): Start, All Programs, Accessories, Systems Tools, Disk Cleanup. (This will take some time as it also tries to compress files, do not compress files and there is a "hack" to turn that off)\n\nIf your looking for something else please respond.

my brother passed away and they inbomb his body bfore telling us why?

That is very sad. I'm sorry for your loss. I would assume that there were extenuating circumstances that caused them to take such action.  Ask them why they did that would be my suggestion.


Im having a 845 GVSR intel motherboard.can i directly add a graphics card?

Yes.   You can add it to the PCI slot.   I do not see and AGP slot which is the usual slot for video.  Make sure you have a PCI video card though.


if you want to play basketball, is it ok if u are fat?

Hey man, we like brothers. I am not exactly skinny, I'm about 170-180lbs. I was on my school's rec. basketball team. I didn't miss one practice. It was fun. I would join and see how it's like. It doesn't matter how much you weigh. Look at Robert Traylor. He was a big man and he played in the NBA for the Cavs. He's a free agent now, but it doesn't matter. He still played the game, and he was successful. If you love the game, then have fun playing it. I'm 13 and in middle school and next year, I'll be going to my high school, and I plan on joining the Fottball team, the basketball team, and the baseball team. I even plan on joining the track team for shotput and discus. All because I love playing sports. I'm a very competitive person. So, join you're basketball team, and DON'T QUIT IT IF YOU JOIN. If you quit, you'll be picked on for quitting and wasting the team's time. So if you feel that you can do it, than join and do it. Best wishes man! PEACE!


i have a party @ the beach mainly house and  sexy chill-house music..so what tracks o u recomend..?

I recommend Tosca, De Phazz, anything by Couch records. Nice, smooth downtempo. It gives the air of sophistication, and promotes stimulating conversation.


This would certainly depend on the geography of the island.  While people may tend to think the basics, like palm and coconut trees, ferns, etc. - there are islands that have little vegetation, such as Mona Island in Puerta Rico, which has little vegetation.  There is also an island called Marion Island which is east in the Southern Indian Ocean.  It has little vegetation except for lichen in the center of the island.

Turf toe is a condition of pain at the base of the big toe, located at the ball of the foot. The condition is usually caused from either jamming the toe, or pushing off repeatedly when running or jumping. The most common complaint is pain at the base of the toe, but you may also have symptoms of stiffness and swelling.\n\nThe name turf toe comes from the fact that this injury is especially common among athletes who play on artificial turf. The hard surface of artificial turf, combined with running and jumping in football and soccer, make turf toe a frequent consequence of Astroturf play.

The Hepburn Act of 1906 gave the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) the power to set maximum railroad rates, and led to the discontinuation of free passes to loyal shippers. In addition, the ICC could view the railroads' financial records, a task simplified by standardized booking systems. For any railroad that resisted, the ICC's conditions would be in effect until the outcome of litigation said otherwise. By the Hepburn Act, the ICC's authority was extended to cover bridges, terminals, ferries, sleeping cars, and express companies.\n\nAlong with The Elkins Act of 1903, the Hepburn Act was a subset of one of President Theodore Roosevelt's major goals, United States railroad regulation.\n\n\nRAILROADS BABY.\n\n\nsomeone below this post pointed out the mann elkins act...\n\nThe Elkins Act of 1903 strengthened the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 by forbidding railroads from offering rebates to shippers. The railroad companies were not permitted to deviate from published rates. The law was sponsored by President Theodore Roosevelt, and greatly boosted his popularity. This is not to be confused with the Mann-Elkins Act of 1910.


Why do corporations incorporate in Delaware? Why is Delaware so favorable to corporations?

Delaware is a friendly state for corporations in terms of business laws.  Delaware has more "flexible" laws then a lot of other states. A lot of it (according to wikipedia) also depends on Delaware being a popular place for corporations, hence it is deemed to be a better place for business to incorporate.  (A self-fulfilling prophecy in a way)\n\nAnother compelling reason is the Delaware Court of Chancery, which is a court dedicated to business law that only exists in Delaware.


I am feeling for someone else but I have a boyfriend. What should I do?

One can feel attracted towards other persons while you are in a relationship. What matters is if you act about those feelings or not. Think about what you currently have with your boyfriend, do you really love him, do you see him as part of your future? If your answers are yes, then nevermind about the other person you are liking, just stick to your love. If the answers are no, well you should have a sincere conversation with your boyfriend to see where are you going with the relationship.

Black Holes are strongly suspected to be responsible for a few powerful X-ray stars, and also to be at the center of most Galaxies - including ours.\n\nBut, while these are all much to far away for us to get to now - probably ever.

Does anyone else like the answers that are given by Schneb?  He gives lots of references..I like his answers!?

Of course I do, although I have to listen to them over the dinner table, too.\n\nHe he\n\nNo, really, he is just communicating what he has learned over his 30+ years of Bible study.  I have seen lots of fakes.  Schneb was the first genuine Christian I had ever met.  Being a Christian for that long allows plenty of opportuniites for God to humble you.  Schneb IS humble and humbly giving away what he has gleaned.  Seeing faith in action from a guy that wasn't pretending to be perfect spoke volumes to me.  I became born again.  That was 17 years ago.  \n\nNow, about those checks...


Why do people's faces turn red when they are embarassed?

When you feel certain emotions (like embarassment), then your body reacts by releasing chemicals that cause stuff in your body to happen. When you become embarrassed, the empty blood vessels in your cheeks get filled up with blood. This causes your face to get red.\n\n(The reason your body does this is because it associates certain emotions with feeling cold, so it pumps more warm blood to warm you up.)


Anything Epson.. whatever you can afford.  They're the best.  We just upgraded to Epson Stylus Photo 2200.  It's SWEET!  But our other one was Epson Stylus CX3200 and that one was nice too.  We only upgraded cause we print off ALL of our photos and wanted to print 11*14.


Does someone who can't talk make a noise when the burp?


This is totally unfamiliar and I don't find it in my references.\n\nYou can prove that the series converges. \n\nn!/n^n = (1/n)(2/n)( n-2 other terms all < 1) < (1/n)(2/n)\nso an < 2/n^2. Since the sum(1/n^2) converges, your series converges. But that is as far as I am prepared to go.\n\nNote: If this were a Taylor series, since the nth term of the series is the nth derivative of f over n!, the nth derivative would have to have (n!)^2 in the numerator to cancel out the n! in the denominator.\n\nAs far as the answeres above, \na3 = (3*2*1) / (3^3) = 2/9, not 1/3.


If you recieved a RE-4 reenlistment code are you eligible for other government employement?

As far as I understand an RE-4 just means you are not eligible for re-enlistment. I dont think it bans you from civilian government jobs.


Is it important and biblical for me to pay tithes to the church?

Church tithing is a scam. In Deut. 14:22-26 you will see that the tithe is food not money. Your preacher will say that they didn't have money back then, but read it closely, vs 25 says if its too far to travel sell your tithe for money and when you get to Gods place buy whatever food and drink you want. Deut. 12:11-27 tells you that you can tithe at home and vs 17-18 tells that the tither always eats the tithe. The word tithe is used 40 times in the OT and only 8 in the NT but it is preached constantly. 2 Cor 16:1-3 collections were for the poor and to be on Sunday so that no money would be collected when Paul preached. Hmmm I gues that means he didnt preach on Sunday like the Pagan Romans did.Jacob was the first to tithe 10% of all that he has. Ask yourself what church did he give it to? In case anyone can't figure this out there were no churches.Tithing was a requirment of the law, why do churches only keep the parts of the law that will benefit them? If you keep the law then you must keep all the law. With that being the case why isn't your preacher slaughtering animals for sacrifce and checking their innards by hand for tumors? Before I give a tithe the preacher better have a goat tied to the alter and slit its throat. Always remember "You cannot serve God and Mammon".If your preacher tells people to tithe, which almost all do,then he is serving mammon(money).He is not a man of God and does not know Christ as Saviour for no man of God would ever ask for money for himself. Run from this church and never return. Find a non-tithing church.good luck with that one. We are to live by faith, where is the preachers faith, he is a swindler and has no faith and is stealing yours from you. A church is not a business, tell your preacher to get a real job and steal from people like all respectable CEO's do in the stock market.To anyone reading this, if you want a outline of everthing to do with tithing and its proper form compared to the church lies e-mail me at my below address and tell me that you want a copy of "The Power of Mammon" include your mailing address and I will mail it to you free of charge. I don't have to ask for money because I have faith in God to provide for me.


what is the difference between development and growth?

I think that growth means to add size and mass to one's original form.  Generally, things that grow increase in size and/or weight.  I think that development is to reconfigure one's being into a more suitable form for current or anticipated conditions.


will i get the sexiest girl as my wife.?

this is such a stupid question. thanx for the points


How many times on average can a man come during one night?

so how old is the average man, under 20 maybe three or four times,  if its every single night maybe just once,  over 30 maybe once night, over 40 the same over 50 once every other night.  get the drift,  if they havent had sex for a few days more.  most guys lie and make you think its more, but its not, they lie.

Please clarify...do you mean cheat their wives? As in cheating them out of something or do you mean cheat on their wives as in being unfaithful?\n\nIn both cases, I would have to say selfishness. To cheat someone you supposedly love out of something is just plain greed and selfishness. They are putting their selfish desires and needs first.\n\nTo cheat on someone is essentially the same, they want more sexual partners or more sex or ??? ... in either case, it is that they are putting their selfish desires first. Who knows? Maybe you married a child...not a grown man. Maybe his ego is so weak and shallow that only way he can feel good about himself is through what he gets from other women - clammoring over him, groping him. Maybe he is an adrenaline junkie andis addicted to that high that is always at the start of a relationship. Maybe it is time to ask yourself some big questions? Do you make him feel wanted? Needed? Desired?\n\nIt also depends on what you define as cheating and if you and your husband had a monogamous agreement? Maybe there wasn't an agreement of exclusivity?\n\nI have been travelling the world and you should see what I have seen in some cultures! It boogles the mind what some people are willing to accept.\n\nSome men might try to say that they are just "programmed that way", that they are hunters. Don't buy this for a minute. Not all men are that way. They truly aren't and it took me a long, long time to TRULY know that one. Try giving him that same story and see what a hypocrite he turns into.\n\nYou also have to take an honest look at who and what you are in the relationship. How long have you been together? Has some of the sizzle, the "magic" died out? Chemistry is a fickle thing but it can be brought back to life. There are videos - like the better sex series. I haven't used them myself but I have heard good things from people who have.\n\nDo you have children? Do you both work long hours? Multiple jobs? Do you still take time for each other? You make dates together like you had back when you first got together? You HAVE TO make set-in-stone dates with your spouse that have nothing to do with cleaning, home repair, visiting relatives, the children or pets - if there are any. You need time just for the TWO of you. \n\nRemember what it was about your marriage that made you two fall in love in the first place - (assuming that this was not an arranged marriage or that you were not a mail-order bride! (^-^) )\n\nMen are problem solvers! Don't *nag* and *whine* to him. Tell him, matter-of-factly how you feel and ask him for his help in solving this problem. Tell him all the good positive feelings you have for him and all the plans & dreams you have for the future and that you don't want to relinquish all those dreams. Tell him that you are willing to fight for you...as a couple.\n\nI don't know your situation. Maybe he is cheating because he just no longer cares??? If that is the case, then you need to re-assess if you really do want to fight for the two of you. Maybe it isn't salvagable. Some things end for a reason. \n\nYou don't need anyone to make your decisions for you. Only you know what is right. Listen to your gut. It will give you the answer....\n\nWhy do you ask "airman", was there another girl in some lonely port?

How does today's school difficulty compare to school difficulty in the past?

School isn't more difficult, but today's students lead more complex lives, therefore life in general is more difficult.  Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, but the paradox is that it complicates our lives because we keep trying to complete more tasks in less time.  After 20 years of teaching high school English, I can report that I see students steadily regressing in reading comprehension and writing skills, yet I see them increasing in technology competency.


Do you think there is a legitimacy of Violence in Sport? Ex. Boxing?

For anything to be classified as a true sport, I would say it would have to have some violence in it since it is largely physical competition, but violence is not the essence of sport.\n\nI don't think it creates a double standard because doing something 'in sport' means doing so without malice--with the intention of bettering oneself or testing one's ability.\n\nIn most cases, sports are being better regulated and using more protective equipment. In boxing, for example, gloves with thicker padding are being used to help protect the fighters' long-term health.\n\nOf course there are many fans who watch sports just to see people get hurt, but these are also the same people who slow down to a snail's pace when driving by an automobile accident on the freeway so they can get a better look. I doubt violence in sports is the cause of it.\n\nAnyhow, most fighters are conditioned well to take that kind of punishment without much damage and undergo much medical testing, so it's rare to see someone seriously hurt in the ring.\n\nThough I hate seeing people get hurt, I'm still a boxing fan. I think it's amazing how people can discipline themselves so well and have that amount of speed, strength or agility. I like to see how fighters with different styles will react to each other in the ring. And whenever a fighter gets seriously hurt, I'm glad when the referee stops the fight to protect the fighter. I'm not paying to see the violence.

different people react differently to different pills.\n\ni've used hydroxycut and it worked very well for me.  my girlfriend tried trimspa, but it didn't do much for her.  \n\nso it all depends on you.  hydroxycut worked very well for myself as well as a bunch of my friends.  i used this and then after i lost as much body fat as i wanted, i moved to No2\n\nthroughout the whole time, i had been weight training and watching my carb intake.  drinking lots of water (like a gallon a day at least).\n\ngood luck : )


No royalty for the whole country - though there are chiefs of major ethnic groups.  Zambia is a democracy and made up of over 80 ethinic groups, many having their own leader or chief.  There never was one overall leader covering the region now called Zambia.   The British created a nation called Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) and governed it as one territory.  On independence the country maintained a parliamentary system with a president as the leader.


Pres Bush claims our economy remains strong. Do you agree?

Well all the indicators clearly show we are in a cyclical bull market, and we are testing new floors which are consistently higher than the previous.\n\nCertainly those who are treating this as a bull market are gaining, while those who are treating it as a bear market are losing. This does not stop the bad news bears talking down the market, because they need this to recover.\n\nSo having said that and understanding that objectively we can prove we are in a market that is currently growing. The question which is more subjective I guess is, is it growing fast enough? This debate will still be dogged with partisan pitches and probably is irrelevent.\n\nBottom line, right now is that with the inidicators where they are, a diversified investment into the US markets (and so economy) is going to yield positive returns, with I think the S&P comfortably capable of hitting 1400 in the first half of this year.


I have some outside my house right now- its cold and white- its pretty when it first falls and everything is covered evenly, but once the snow plows come in, the snow gets mixed with dirt and then becomes dirty, grey and its tough to drive in and it causes a lot of car accidents and people slip and fall- and its a pain to shovel because there are different types of snow- the light fluffy kind and the heavy wet kind- the heavy kind causes muscle and back aches to shovel because it is HEAVY!!  I will say though- its nice to have white Christmas'


explain antiferromagnetic interactions in transition metal compounds?

ok, well, let's start with a basic description of magnetic materials.\n\nmagnetism has to do with the way electrons in a material interact with each other.  electrons have some basic properties (mass, charge, for example) and also a property called "spin".  \n\nit can be measured that any given electron has what is called a "magnetic dipole moment", which basically means that every electron behaves like a tiny bar magnet.  so the property of "spin" was devised to explain this - if you have some electric charge and move it around in a closed loop, a magnetic field is generated inside the loop.  this phenomenon is called induction and it's the basis for lots of real-life magnets.  this is why you usually see electromagnets made by wrapping wire around in a coil - when you pass an electrical current through the wire, the electrons in the metal basically move in a loop, and this causes a field to form.\n\nanyway, you can think of an electron as a little ball of electrical charge.  if the ball is spinning, then the charge on the ball is moving around in a circle - so this would create a magnetic field.  \n\nanother measurable property of this "spin" is that it is quantized - this means that the electrons can only spin at certain speeds and orientations.  different particles have different spins, and for an electron there are 2 spin states - usually referred to as "spin up" and "spin down" because the axis of the dipole moment points in different directions.\n\nthe difference between the various types of magnetic materials (ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, paramagnetic, etc) is in how the spins of all the electrons in the materials are oriented.\n\nin a ferromagnet, the spins are (mostly) oriented so that they're all pointing the same direction.  this causes the magnetic fields from each electron to add up, and you get a large macroscopic magnetic field as a result.\n\nin an antiferromagnet, on the other hand, spins are oriented so that neighboring electrons point in opposite directions.  this is a highly-ordered state, and in many materials only forms when you cool the substance below a critical temperature called the "neel temperature".  above this temperature the random thermal fluctuations take over and the spin ordering falls apart.\n\nantiferromagnetism is observed in transition metal compounds, in particular metal oxides, such as nickel oxide (NiO) or cobalt oxide (CoO).  the behavior of electronic spins are a subject of intense research these days, and so a simple and well-defined picture of their behavior is not easy to come by.  \n\nhowever, it is thought that the long-range interactions of electronic spin is responsible for a number of interesting effects that are being studied in transition-metal oxides.  one well-known example is in the study of high-temperature superconductors, which are often oxides of transition metal alloys.  the electrons involved in the superconducting effect act in pairs called "strongly correlated" electron pairs, and it is thought that the electrons interact via coupling through their spin.\n\nhere are some links so you can learn more:\n\nhttp://ghmfl.grenoble.cnrs.fr/magnetisme/recent5.htm\nhttp://www.jhu.edu/~gazette/2002/30sep02/30magnet.html\nhttp://www-als.lbl.gov/als/science/sci_archive/peem_spin.html\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiferromagnetism


What are some natural ways to stop bees from stinging me?

Ok, I so have to ask. Where are you going camping in January where there will be bees? *shrugs* Sorry......that's how my mind works. \n\nBut let's pretend that there is a warm sunny place where the bees haven't hibernated and you don't want to run the risk of being stung. I'm allergic to bee stings so I so know what you mean about these icky pests. "Cutter" works great and "Deep Woods Off" for mosquitos and those type of pests. But bees? I'm not sure we have a deterent for these little suckers yet.Yes, sweat attracts them.....but usually because of the sweetness of the lotions, aftershaves, colognes etc. that we have put on our bodies. Even soap and shampoo can affect this. Use a soap with no perfumes. (Ivory) And just make sure you rinse that long flowing hair of yours completely before getting out of the shower. Also, the only time I've seen bees was around the trash cans. So choose a spot away from others.......away from trash. And dispose of yours so that they don't getinto it......(or bears). Pour pine sol on it before you go to bed and it keeps raccoons and possoms and lions and tigers and bears (oh my) away from it. Ok how did I get from bees to bears?? Ok back to the subject. \n\nWasps are worse (or mud dobbers) that build those icky nests in grills and under picnic tables. So take some wasp spray. Why there is wasp spray and not bee spray I have no idea.........but there is. *shrugs*\n\nHope some of this nonsense helps. It actually has for me...kinda sorta maybe. And have a fabulous time camping!

You're pretty much on the mark.  If your federal tax rate is 25% and you make between $20,001 and $100,000 your NY state tax rate is 6.85% (as of end of year 2004).  Add in 2005 FICA at 7.65% and your total tax is about 39.5%.\n\nSince federal income tax and FICA taxes are the same nationwide, your total tax is about the same everywhere.  There will only be a few points difference depending on your state.  Hey!  Just be glad you're not in California.  We get state tax at 9.3% on income higher than $40,346!
