When and Where did the Catholic Church orignate?

On the day of Pentecost, in Jerusalem.  On that day, Gentiles and Jews entered the Church.  Only then could the Way be considered Catholic.  Likewise, only then did it have the Spirit to support it.  You can trace the Church and its activities through its letters, records and other documents from today back to the first century.  The early Christians were prolific writers so there is a lot of reading to do.  Not all of it is translated into English.  Many of the Greek fathers are just now being translated over to English.  This is regrettable in that it limits the average person from reading the writings of the early Christians.  Likewise, you don't have a lot in Syriac before Ephrem that remains.  Still, Ephrem the Deacon is a ton of reading if read carefully and well, though he is later.  There is one other major writer in Syriac before Ephrem but I don't remember his name.\n\nThe only thing that exists is the Catholic Church until the 16th century.  I don't like treating the Orthodox as a separate Church, but rather as the other side of a schism.  It is uncharitable and mostly incorrect to treat them as a separate denomination.\n\nProtestantism did not exist until the 16th century and below is an account of the creation of the word.\n\n"The Diet of the Holy Roman Empire, assembled at Speyer in April, 1529, resolved that, according to a decree promulgated at the Diet of Worms (1524), communities in which the new religion was so far established that it could not without great trouble be altered should be free to maintain it, but until the meeting of the council they should introduce no further innovations in religion, and should not forbid the Mass, or hinder Catholics from assisting thereat. \n\n"Against this decree, and especially against the last article, the adherents of the new Evangel — the Elector Frederick of Saxony, the Landgrave of Hesse, the Margrave Albert of Brandenburg, the Dukes of Lüneburg, the Prince of Anhalt, together with the deputies of fourteen of the free and imperial cities — entered a solemn protest as unjust and impious. The meaning of the protest was that the dissentients did not intend to tolerate Catholicism within their borders. On that account they were called Protestants. " (note this article is around 100 years old)

Confess your true feelings.  Ask your neighbors for the sofa's hand in wedded bliss.  Include a few hundred dollars for added measure.  Carry your new love over the threshhold and live happily ever after.  Be sure to send pictures of all the little ottomans...

Dreams What does a warm hug from a loved on  you haven't heard from mean in a dream?

If a woman dreams she is hugging other men then her husband, she will become involved in an affair that could threaten her marriage. If you dream of hugging in a general way, you will lose your lover or your business. Hugging itself is a show of affection, but in a dream it is not a very good omen, the effects of which could be toned down to a general warning if the other signs in the dream allow it. \n \n\n \nTo dream that you are hugging someone, symbolizes your loving and caring nature. You are holding someone or something close to your heart. Alternatively, it may indicate your need to be more affectionate. \n\n\n\nHug\nA hug is a very pleasant dream symbol. It suggests love and tenderness. It is also symbolic of comfort and protection. Look at all of the details in your dream and look for the positive meaning. The only time that this dream symbol has negative connotations is if you were to hug or be hugged by a very negative person or something that you consider "evil." Otherwise, it is a sweet and comforting dream symbol.

Why don't juice bottles have built-in handles?

The reason milk jugs have handles is because the plastic used to make the jugs is so thin and flimsy that squeezing the sides to hang onto the jug could cause the top to pop off, even with screw-on tops.  Using the thinner plastic, often recycled plastic, reduces production costs.  If you'll notice, juice jugs are made of a much thicker plastic than milk jugs.  Many of the jugs do provide handholds, or at least ergonomic designs supposedly to assist in pouring (not just to make the bottle look pretty).

What is differece between Delhi, New Delhi & old delhi?

To put it mildly, New Delhi is an extension of the old Delhi which was a walled city in the Mughal/Ruler Era during the rule of British (i.e. when India was a British Colony). New Delhi is the new hi-tech, modern and more-urban-like city and has expanded towards the South and the West parts.\n\nBabar's son Humayun, in 1530 AD, built a fort on one of the oldest settlements and called it Dinpanah. The afghan king, Sher Shah Suri, wrested control from Humayun and built Dilli in 1542, encompassing a very large area. \n\nThe Mughal emperor Shah Jahan built his fort, the Lal Qila and the huge well laid out city, Shahjahanabad, in 1648 AD. It took 10 years to build. The city fort had 14 gates many of which still exists. This city survives as the old Delhi of today. \n\nFinally, the British built New Delhi, south of Shahjahanabad and shifted their capital from Calcutta in 1931. In the six decades since the creation of New Delhi as the Capital of British India, the city has undergone a sea change. Made initially to cater to a population of 70,000, the total urban population of Delhi now exceeds 8 million. The city has exploded in all directions beyond the confines of Lutyen's wide, tree-lined avenues, with an exuberance that is characteristically Indian. \n\nThe line of distinction between Old and New Delhi has begun to blur - north, south, east and west Delhi are more prevalant terms of demarcation. The facilities and opportunities available in Delhi have attracted Indians from far-flung corners of the country, making it a melting pot of sorts. On the other hand, the presence of diplomatic and trade mission, the growing number of multi-national companies andforeign investors, and the influx of tourists and visiting professionals have given the city, especially its southern and central parts, a cosmopolitan air. \n\nHope this helps you.\nRegards, Sonzy.

According to Spendaholics what takes up most of governments spending today?

Health and Human Services (Which includes Urban Development, and Welfare) comes in at number one with a yearly projected budget of 650 Billion Dollars. Department of Defense is number two with a projected budget of around 515 Billion Dollars, and the Treasury Department is number 3 with a projected budget of 415 Billion Dollars (mostly due to the interest we pay on the national debt.)\n\nThe next largest after that is a huge drop with the Department of Agriculture with a projected budget of around 90 Billion.\n\n\nPlease Note that Social Security is not part of the Federal Budget general fund. It is a separate account and has its own source of income. As a comparison though, Social Security has an estimated budget of 500 Billion. \n\nFission

How do u know when your crush,or lover,likes u alot?

Well..of course the obvious things such as sending you flowers or planning picnics or romantic dinners.\n\nBut also theres other ways that they can show they care for you. Like when your with a group of people you both seem to making a lot of eye contact and can't stop looking at each other. or when together he wants to stand close to you, trying his hardest to get right next to you and maybe even come behind you and put his arms around your waist, gently kiss your neck or whisper in your ear. \n\nOr just hints little things...like biting his lip in a sexy way after you make eye contact or when your with a few friends he always seems to end up right next to your or right where he can look into your eyes. When you have little changes he notices like a hair cut. If he agrees to doing anything together..like watching a chick flick or going shopping. If he truly listens to you when you had a bad day and sincerly feels bad for you. Or if he can tell when you are sad and he holds you in his arms when you are crying for as long as you need to cry. Or when he kisses you he puts his hand on the back of your head and gently bites your bottom lip. Or if he makes special trips just to see you and to be with you as long as he can. If he shows up at your job just to say hello, or if he calls you just to say good morning or good night. Or if he makes up silly excuses to be together. If he knows exactly when to tell you your beautiful. Just little things like that show you that he cares about you.

What can you say about the Philippine boxer manny pacquiao??

Amazing guy.\n\nPacquiao has very heavy hands and showed it against Ledwaba, as Pacquiao dominated and punished him for 6 rounds before the referee finally stopped the fight.  Pacquiao is a very exciting fighter and will be showcased on television here in the United States in the future.  That means some good matchups should be on the horizon for Pacquiao. \n\n\nHe was a former WBC Flyweight champion and now has moved all the way up to Junior Featherweight and shocked Lehlo Ledwaba to win his second world title.


Zihuatanejo is close to Ixtapa and that is about it.  Zihuat is more of the local fishing town with a good craft/local market.  There is the BEST restaurant across the street from the market in Zihu called Banditos... Best shrimp tacos I have had anywhere in the world.\n\nIxtapa is more of the toursit town with all the big high rise hotels more amenities.  \n\nThe two cities are only about 30 minutes (maximum) apart.  If you want the nice hotels and beaches and "nicer" area stay in Ixtapa.  If you like more of the local culture and relaxation with a slower pace stay in Zihu.\n\nWhen I went I stayed as Las Brisas.  It is in the middle of the two cities.  I had a friend who got married on the beach in Zihu.  It was beautiful.  I would definately stay at Las Brisas again- one of the nicest places I have been to with great service.  Here is the link to the hotel:  http://www.brisas.com.mx/?method=hotel&idhotel=3\n\nIn Zihuat, the bride and groom stayed at Villa del Sol: http://www.hotelvilladelsol.net/  They also had their wedding on the beach there.  This is also another awesome hote, but it is more expensive than Las Brisas.  I think the rooms are bigger and more "suite" style than regular hotel rooms.  Their room looked just like the one the have posted on the web ( http://www.hotelvilladelsol.net/accommodation.html )  and they also had a small private pool just for themselves.


A recent infomercial tells of a way to but houses for back taxes without having a mortgage overhead.?

No municipality in mind is dumb enough to sell a house (if paid off) to simply satisfy a tax lien.  In CA it takes five years of back taxes for the county to take title from you and begin foreclocure proceedings.  \n\nIf the home goes to auction the county and bank if one was involved would first appraise the home to figure out fiar market value.  \n\nRemember whoever sells the box is making millions all they need to do in an infomarcial is sucker you into buying the box.  \n\nThere are numerous cases of marketeers saying outlandish things to sell their garbage on TV.  Once the government finally files a lawsuit and wins the marketer just stops selling that garbage and moves on to a different type of garbage to sell.\n\nDon't be a sucker.


The older a guy gets, the more stress he is under, the more medications he takes, they all take a toll on sex.  In your case just having a secret affair can take an emotional toll after awhile and have an affect on performance.  If he is taking any medication stronger than asprin it can also have a definite affect on his ability to perform.  A woman should never assume it is them that causes a guy not perform because especially in this case if that was true he wouldn't bother to be with you.


what im gonna do to boost up my self confidence?

Jealousy is a heck of a demon to fight. Start maybe with trusting yourself and then your man. As trust is one of main cornerstones of a relationship. Sometimes jealousy is warranted, does he flirt alot when you are right there? That can be uncomfortable. Let him know what he is doing, if he does that and how it makes you feel like a piece of garbage, that he pays attention to another when you are right there. Then again some guys are born flirters and heck they don't even know they are doing it until they get in over their heads and someone takes them seriously.. Your self confidence, is by far the most important thing and has nothing to do with jealousy. It is believing in yourself, your dreams and ideals. It really isn't all that difficult and though so many will try to knock you down in life, you just have to get right back up and know that you are who you are and if they don't like it to friggin bad.\n To many are falling for this idea that there self confidence is no good, it is a way to get you into therapy. There are alot of great websites that will just give you a thought a day. It is thinking positive, yeah negative stuff is going to happen, but you know you can pull through it and that is what counts. Never let anyone tell you different

how can you tell between a turtle and a tortoise?

The terrestrial chelonians are called tortoises. They usually have higher domed carapaces, with relatively thin bony (internal) plates and relatively thick horny (external) plates; this is related to the necessary adaptations to gravity in the terrestrial environment. Their legs look rather like columns (elephant-like), because they're cylindrical and thick, with no free fingers (their nails are well developed, though). Typical tortoises belong to family Testudinidae and are plant-eaters; there are other terrestrial turtles, less domed and with different habits and adaptations. \n\nThe aquatic members of Chelonia are known as turtles; both marine and freshwater turtles have flatter, more hydrodynamic carapaces. \nMarine turtles reach the largest sizes and usually have heavy shells; their forelimbs are paddle-like and their ventral shell is often reduced. Most are carnivorous, although the green turtle is herbivorous. They belong to families Cheloniidae and Dermochelyidae.\n\nFreshwater or pond turtles are also streamlined, they have low-weight carapaces (especially the thin horny plates) and webbed feat with powerful claws. Many freshwater turtles belong to families Chelidae and Pelomedusidae; most of these have long to very long necks. There are also some soft-shelled freshwater turtles. All are carnivorous.\n\nIn fact, there are two _true_ natural groups of chelonians, but they differ essentially by the way they bend their necks, not because of their habitat.

What is the best online university to get a masters degree from?

Ku-Loc is probably right. I went to the UofP for almost one year. They are fully accredited, too. They've been around since the 70's. It's SUPER hard work. Be prepared for no sleep, but they know their stuff and can get the job done. Also, it's expensive. Hope you qualify for financial aid or have a job with tuition assistance. When I went, it was about $1300 PER class. And classes only lasted about 4-5 weeks long.

What is the best solution for current war environmet created by Bush.?

well, the environment of this wasn't created by Bush, he mearly reacted to the situation, the only way he could. He of course was first provoked into it by 9/11.  Then the bad intellegence he got, didn't help matters any.  Everything that Saddam said he wouldn't do, he continued throughout the Clinton era, because he knew there would be a blind eye turned his way.


it is very influential. You can tell in politics, specially republicans keep saying the same thing over and over. The next day people are saying the same thing.

Which are better, widescreen or fullscreen DVDs (movie: Rent)?

Widescreen movies are better if you have a large enough screen...preferably 36" or larger....\nThe wide screen has the full video as it was filmed....it's not cropped to "fit your screen" like most fullscreen video's are.  If you have or later get a large screen or Video Projector you can watch the movie with a theater like experience as the director intended it to be seen.  If you have a smaller tv, and no plans to upgrade anytime soon..under 32" say, you're probably better off with the fullscreen.  Brokeback Mountain is full of sweeping dramatic Panaroma shots that would look better on Widescreen :)

Do you think  sport players are free to express themselves when they play?

Yes, they should be able to express themselves to a point.  It would be great if there could be no restrictions of behavior, but in reality, we must have restrictions on behavior in sports, just like we have restrictions on behavior at work, in public, etcetera.  All human behavior must have restrictions or we would live in Anarchy.  If sports figures were given complete control over what they were allowed to do and say, some would be responsible and behave in socially acceptable, non-offensive ways, but others would not.  Rules are a part of all areas of human existence, it is completely acceptable and necessary for them to be a part of professional sports as well.

You should go to a college you feel comfortable going to.  Some bible colleges have very strict rules that everyone has to follow - if you want to feel safe and in a controlled environment, then by all means go.  If you are interested in learning more about people not exactly like you, go to a state university.  There are a lot of religious activities on all campuses.  But do what you feel is right, and try praying about it.


In terms of mass.\nThe SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg).\n\nDo not confuse mass with weight, they are not the same thing.  The mass of an object is constant throughout the universe where as weight is a vector force that depends on the gravitational field around the object.  It is unfortunate that these two words are used interchangably sometimes.

Pleurisy is an inflammation of the pleura, the lining of the lungs, with subsequent pain. \n\nPleurisy may develop in the presence of lung inflammation (for example, pneumonia, tuberculosis), rheumatic diseases, chest trauma, certain cancers, and asbestos-related disease. The main symptom is pain over the chest wall at the site of the inflammation. In some circumstances, the pain may be felt in the shoulder. \n\nThe pain is increased by deep breathing, coughing, and chest movement. The normally smooth pleural surfaces, now roughened by inflammation, rub together with each breath, and may produce a rough, grating sound called a "friction rub". This can be heard with the stethoscope or an ear held against the chest.\n\nFluid often accumulates at the site of pleural inflammation. A localized collection of fluid separates the lung pleura from the chest wall pleura causing the chest pain to disappear even though the illness may be worsening.


Do you think Barry Bonds will break Hank Aarons' home run record?

NO.  IF this is his last season, he will not break it.  Even if he IS healthy all season, pitchers will pitch around him.  He needs 48 home runs to break the record.  He only hit 45 in 03 and 45 in 04 playing 130 and 147 games.  There is no way he is going to get close to that many games again with his bad knees.  He will need two more seasons to do it.\n\nI think that with all of the controversy around him.  He is going to bow out second on the list after this season.  He does not want the media attention on himself or his family.  Just the fact that he is second is going to give him more coverage than he would like.\n\nMLB themselves are not sure how they want to acknowledge any records that he may get because of the controversy.

HP computers used to be pretty crappy but they have come a long way in the last few years. On the other hand i have been pretty dissapointed with the quality of gateway machines, as they seem to be getting cheaper (as in poorly built) every day. If you decide on a gateway, i highly suggest you do not buy one of their monitors as they seem to have a very high failure rate. For a true quality machine, i would look to a professionally built system from your local computer dealer. You can generally specify the components you want used and build a smoking system that will far outclass the HP's and gateways.

Has the internet watered down and weakened our language?

Should I invest in a town house when nearby area is under development?

not sure how anyone could advise you to buy based upon an online description. without seeing the property that is downright silly. the real estate market is currently at or near a top based upon all available data. read the newspapers, mortgage rates are going higher, sales are down, builders are offering big incentives to buy... that is usually the sign of a major slowdown.\n\ndon't know where you are located, but i would proceed with caution. the buildings across the street could overshadow your intended purchase and make your property worth less to a potential buyer down the road. i would never buy across the street from unknown construction. what happens if they don't finish the project and leave a shell across the street that scares people away. what if they build something that is ugly, or creates traffic problems. \n\ndid you check out how many town house units are owner occupied or rented to others? that is a major factor. renters don't treat the property the way an owner does.\n\nyou have much homework to do. good luck

Concerning Deferred Adjudication and felony case's when looking for employment.?

That information MAY show up on a background check....and therefore affect employment or housing applications.\n\nEven though they word the question differently - if it is legal to ask about arrests it is also logical to be able to ask about anything that comes after an arrest in the legal process. So, in many places - it is legal for them to ask this.\n\nIt all depends on where you are applying for work (not always the same as the state you live in). There are only 10 states that do not allow employers to ask about arrests. \n\nIn Oregon, we have several employers who routinely demand a "police contact sheet" of all hires. This includes every time your name was on a police report - whether you did anything or not. I am not saying I think this is RIGHT but it is what the LAW says. Until enough people make enough noise it will continue to be the law.\n\nAlso the law is what the state you are applying for work in says it is. If you have crimes in NY (that NY says can't be looked at after X years) and you apply for a job in Oregon, that job can and will consider those crimes anyway.

What type of molecules have what intermolecular forces holding them together?

All molecules have intermolecular forces holding them together.  That is how we have things that are large enough for us to see.  Salt is held together by ionic forces.  Water by hydrogen bonds.  Acetone and ethyl acetate (found in nail polish removers) by dipole-dipole interactions.  Oil by van der Waals or London or dispersion forces (all the same thing).

how long have castles been and why were they active thousands of  years ago tell me please?

Castles? Well acutally this kind of structure dates back to the Dark Ages in Europe, if by that you mean a moat, drawbridge. portculis. turreted walls, and a central keep and dungeon.  I don't know if maybe even if the Romans and other societies in Europe had them too, but there are indications that some kind of fortifications were in use in Indo European times as far back as 10,000 BC.\n\nI think any static, non nomadic culture any where might have created a place to gather and defend them selves against raids and predations from other tribes. -

what does chemistry have to do with muscle fatigue?

That's an excellent explanation!  \nYes, when your muscle cells are worked out, they need to produce a lot of energy, and they usually use oxygen and a process called aerobic (meaning that it uses oxygen) cellular respiration to get that energy from the energy molecule, ATP, which stands for adenosine triphosphate.  However, when you need that much energy, your oxygen supply runs short, so to convert ATP to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and release energy, your body has to use an alternate form of cellular respiration called lactic acid fermentation.  Lactic acid fermentation is a form of anaerobic respiration because it doesn't use oxygen.  It's not as efficient as normal aerobic respiration.  It also forms lactic acid, which is the chemical that causes the sensation of muscle fatigue.

how do solvents work?what happens?the cause and effect of solvents?

A solvent is a liquid that dissolves a solid, liquid, or gaseous solute, resulting in a solution. The most common solvent in everyday life is water. The term organic solvent refers to most other solvents that are organic compounds and contain carbon atoms. Solvents usually have a low boiling point and evaporate easily or can be removed by distillation, thereby leaving the dissolved substance behind. Solvents should therefore not react chemically with the dissolved compounds — they have to be inert. Solvents can also be used to extract soluble compounds from a mixture, the most common example is the brewing of coffee or tea with hot water. Solvents are usually clear and colorless liquids and most of them have a characteristic odor. The concentration of a solution is the amount of compound that is dissolved in a certain volume of solvent. The solubility is the maximal amount of compound that is soluble in a certain volume of solvent at a specified temperature.\n\nThe link below will have resources on specific solvents and their behavior.

July 29, 2005: "It's definitely bigger than Pluto." So says Dr. Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology who announced today the discovery of a new planet in the outer solar system.\n\nThe planet, which hasn't been officially named yet, was found by Brown and colleagues using the Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory near San Diego. It is currently about 97 times farther from the sun than Earth, or 97 Astronomical Units (AU). For comparison, Pluto is 40 AU from the sun\nThe planet's temporary name is 2003 UB313. A permanent name has been proposed by the discoverers to the International Astronomical Union, and they are awaiting the decision of this body before announcing the name. \nAm I right U_EVERYONE_K


What is your earliest memory as a child?

Laying in the crib with my twin sister.  I was probably 2 years old but limited or no vocabulary.  I remember waking up - I may have had a nightmare - seeing her laying there next to me and having a great sense of contentedness.\n\nAlso when I was two, I remember getting stung by a bee and having my mom care for me.  She placed me in front of the television to watch Jetsons and waited on me with some tasty snacks.  I remember liking having her baby me.


How can I get a daughter to pay rent-legaly?

Easy. Grow a pair of balls and tell her that she has 90 days to move out unless she pays rent. Tell here that when her 90days are up she will either pay the rent or you will throw her stuff out in the yard. \n\nIf she doesnt pay throw all of her stuff in the front yard and change the locks. \n\nIf you threaten her but do not follow through with it she will never respect you. \n\nBTW I am 25 maried w/ kids of my own.

For the Giro, sign up for RAI. For the Tour and Vuelta, go with Eurosport. As long as you can deal with David Duffield (commentator on Eurosport), you'll be fine.

do germans write thousands differently with a point instead of a comma, eg. nine thousand as 9.000?

Do people who live in transitional housing have the same rights as a regular tenant?

You need to understand the difference between what a YMCA offers compared to what a "transitional housing" offer. There is a very distinct difference. \nYMCA,s generally are not really geared for tenacy at all and those that "live" at one are defined as borders rather than tenants. Fire codes do apply and so do safety standards but the mayor of that city or town is the one who has the power to enforce them. YMCA's are private property and they can make whatever rules they see fit including  curfews

Why would Muslim Extremists bomb their own Mosque?

This is one way for the insurgents to keep the pot stirred.  You must understand that the Sunnis are supported for the most part by Syria and the Shiites are supported for the most part by Iran.  In the middle is poor stupid Iraq still playing into each of their hands by trying to assemble a sectarian government.  Iraq must assemble a secular government and keep Islam out of the picture if it expects to survive the power struggle between the two factions. The extremists are supporting the Sunnis, yet the Mosque that was hit was a Shiite Mosque.  Frankly, I don't think the insurgents care who's Mosque they bomb as long as they can keep the two side running around like chickens with their heads cut off.


can someone tell me how the struggle to rid ourselves of the jim crow laws reflects the dichotomy of the west?

The West values freedom and equality as two of our foundational principles.  (See the Declaration of Independence for an example of those principles defined.)  And yet, Jim Crow laws, which legalized segregation and deprived blacks of their civil rights in voting, education, public transportation, etc., were the antithesis of equality, and for blacks, freedom.  Therefore, the fact that segments of our society fought so hard to retain these laws revealed a dichotomy in our attitudes toward equality.  "All men are created equal" said the Declaration, "but some are more equal than others", Jim Crow told us, in essence.

what are the effects of the book night by elie weisel?

"Night" by Elie Weisel, is an autobiographical holocaust novel. I'd rather not give away the storyline, but it runneth over with themes and ideas. Death, faith, memories and the past... \n\nAs far as effects are concerned, I'd say the book gave an increased awareness of the events during the holocaust. It adds a very emotional aspect to something many people have only read about in history books. \n\nBelow are some study guides for this book, in case they can guide your research.

Which three are the most predominant in the refrigerator (convection, conduction, or radiation)?

Convection and conduction are both important.  Radiation is negligible.  Heat is transported from the inside air to the refrigerant, and from the refrigerant to the outside air, through two heat exchangers.  In each exchanger, heat is transferred by a mixture of convection and conduction* between refrigerant and heat exchanger tubing, conduction through the walls of the tubing, and convection* (which may be forced by a fan) between the tubing and the air.  \n*Some may disagree with my interpretation of which kinds of heat transfer dominate each of these phases; it's a judgment call.  If most of the heat transfer is due to motion of the fluid (refrigerant or air) it's convection; if not it's conduction.

do you think books & documents are banned so the government can try to  hide the truth?

What are you talking about?\n\nClearly there are some national security reasons to make some things difficult to locate.  Yes, it is certainly true that national security is sometimes used where it shouldn’t be use.  However the recourse for such actions is public access to records and application can be made for anything.  If the government wants to keep it for only a high security clearance, then it must demonstrate that necessity in a court.\n\nBanning of books generally occurs at the local level in the local school or library.  In both of these situations there is recourse to get such decisions reversed.  A relatively few things should fall under banning acts.  For example, pornographic pictures and writings kept from those who are too young.\n\nWhat specifically are you referring to?  If you listed those it might be easier to join with you if those things have merit.

what is something sweet to say to my girlfriend?

tell her she is smart.  tell her you like her shoes.  ask her questions she knows the answer to.  pretend you are interested in the boring stuff she says.  dont interrupt her while she is talking.  try to think of things she is interested in and then ask her about them.  an example would be what color do you like in a purse?  and then tell her she is sexxxxy! and slap her behind. ;)


meaning of If that the earth could teem with woman's tears, each drop she falls would prove a crocodile?

Crocodile tears are those of someone who isn't really upset at all.  Women are usually seen as victims of their emotion and often get carried away in them... So, when they get upset they cry, but its usually only because of something so unimportant as emotions... \n\nThe earth teeming with something means that it is filled or overrun with that thing... \n\nSo, if the earth was overrun by women's tears... metaforically, we would be overtaken by a lot of crocodiles, because the tears are usually always crocodile tears.\n\nQuite a bash at women, don't you think?  Where did you find this quotation?


how do you forget about a woman that you love and all she wants is your money and to cut you down?

If you are not married and I will assume you are not then date other people...tonight....call a friend a woman or an aquantance and go out on a date. Talk to her and seewhat others are like.  Date 3 times a week.  Go date crazy and you will find a  kind generous woman who loves you for you.  She is out ther really she is.  The woman who cuts you down is not the right one. I am sure you love her and maybe you will always love her in your heart in a burning way that no one else will ever understand but she is not good for you. Love is natural and easy for both, love is generous and kind.  I tried for three years to love a man who did the same thing.  In the end I took it very hard but now that I look back I see how miserable it was.  Why did I stay...because I did not have the courage to leave.  Do not be like me.  Fight for yourself and start dating other people.

Information on a 1031 real estate exchange?

Liz,\n1031 exchanges is a method for deferring capital gains taxes on the sale of an investment property by reinvesting the proceeds into another investment property.\n\nThe steps are rather simple, but you will need to involve a few professionals.\n1. Identify intent (acknowledge in your contract of sale of first property that you may want to do a 1031 exchange)\n2. Close on sale - clock starts - Proceed are held by 3rd party (1031 exchange intermediary/usually title co) the proceeds from the sale are NEVER in your possession.\n3. by 45 days from sale - identify new property\n4. by 180 days from sale - reinvest proceeds from sale into new property\n\nI'm testing a new 1031 exchange site.  Below is the link for more information.\n\nGood luck,\nChris


What are your thoughts about an overseas relationship and how would you make it work?

Depends on the details.

Why is a Jewish state of Israel so important to the US and Europe?

Much in the same way the Cuban-American population has exerted political influence over US foreign policy towards Cuba, the Jewish-American population (which is, by the way, larger than the Israeli Jewish population) has consistently lobbied for a US protected Israel.\n\nAlso, Israel is not a theocracy, it is a secular country of Jewish people.\n\nIt is also worth noting that Egypt receives more foreign aid from the US than Israel does.  And the Palestinian Authority  gets a huge chunk of change too.  It's not the fault of the US and Israel that the PA and Egypt are so corrupt that the aid gets pocketed by the leaders while the people are left destitute and seething with anger.

Why is GOD's name the most called named from people that don't believe in him?

This is very simple,.. People are totally ignorant and self serving unless they find themselves in a situation where they need help,  How many people go through life as a "non-believer" only to find themselves on eath's door, begging for salvation so that they can rest peacefuly. I spent numerous years in Emergency Service, and used to experience this type of personality quite often. My $.02 for what it's worth


What determines the power of a wind turbine?

Just as with any other generator, electrical power is proportional to shaft torque and speed.  A wind turbine generator is designed to operate in a certain speed and torque range.  The design of the turbine and pitching of the blade angle keep it operating in this range.  It's actually wind speed that forces the control of torque/speed up to a certain maximum level, so yes, electrical output is directly coupled to wind speed and energy capture of the wind.  \n\nThe generators in wind turbines do generaly require some amount of excitation current to regulate power output.  This is really what allows wind turbines to operate at different power outputs and not a single fixed rating.

My home is not typical by any means.  We have no less than five computers for the three of us.  Two of these are running Windows 98 SE.  In fact the one I am using now is linked to some peripheral devices which do not have drivers written for anything except Windows 98.  I have another machine that I use with my business and it also uses Win98SE.  That one has several software packages that will not run under any other OP.  These are not old machines, but you must realize that XP pro is also a resource hog in comparison and the performance using Win98 is amazing, especially for simple tasks like word processing or Internet connection and browsing.\nSure, I also have XP, Linux, and other systems running for gaming and other tasks.  Occasionally, I still load MS-DOS to do virus and Trojan horse work or Novell Netware for tough database conversions.  If I looked carefully, I could probably find a CP/M disk.


haw will you know when a woman wants sex whit you,in a first date?


Who's better Vince Young or Matt Leinart and why?

I would go with Leinart.  He has proven that he can be a big game player and play in the spotlight.  While Young did have a great season and did lead UT to the national title, I think he hasn't shown the consistancy that Leinart has in the past few years.\n\nThat said, I think Young is going before Leinart in the draft.

Why all the HOMOPHOBIC COMMENTS ON YAHOO Message Boards re. "Brokeback Mountain" ?  It is just another film !

"Let's look at some of the propaganda aspects of this movie, shall we? \n  \nIndeed nature is beautiful, and its grandeur is depicted with majesty and uplifting music, great sweeping vistas instill a sense of awe and splendor. It is of course in this setting that the "homosexual romance blossoms. But even more significant, this is where the men discuss the deeper things of life, theology, meaning, etc. \n  \nContrast this with the scenes of marriage. Every time marriage is depicted in the film, it is shot in a tiny dark squalid hovel, with screaming children and absolute pandemonium. The house is a mess, the wife never communicates on any kind of meaningful level. Wives in fact, are portrayed as a constant annoyance, and more irritating than understanding. But children receive the worst treatment in this slanted rant against family. They are usually crying, often two at a time, or smashing things, the general feeling the film presents, is that these joyless hellions are an intrusion into life, an encumbrance and a terrible burden. \n  \nMaking sure it drums in its message in no uncertain terms, the film keeps switching back and forth between the two contrasts. The great outdoors, wild and free, close to nature, close to God, close to hot gay sex without any negative consequences. Back inside the dark little messy box of marriage, with horrible in-laws, demon spawn children, berating nagging wives, endless pressures and even the loveless, passionless sex has hanging over it the dread of producing more parasitic offspring. \n  \nSpecial note must be taken of music and lighting, how they are carefully manipulated to accentuate these contrasts in the manner outlined here, bringing a much deeper impact of the propaganda message. Marvelous tools, music and light illicit emotional responses, and penetrate the subject to effect his core values. The use of props in the juxtaposition of images adds power to the medium. There is a scene where the Heath Ledger character is saddled with his wife and children, struggling among the crowds to watch the fireworks. The opening shot depicts husband and wife, each with a child in one arm, and great square bags full of baby necessities in the other hand. The construction of this frame is identical to the earlier shots of the pack mules heavily laden with similar square heavy supplies. Marriage has turned him into a beast of burden, a theme reinforced throughout."


While I am not usually shy, sometimes I do get shy.  Also, sometimes I feel like I can't seem to know enough, which sometimes frustrates me into not wanting to learn anymore.  However, a lot of times I use it for motivation to produce the opposite effect - to learn more.


what is the structural formula of tequila?

All alcoholic prducts sold for consumption in the uniteds states contain the active ingredient ethanol. CH3CH3OH is the structural formula.\nThe differences between, say, Vodka and rum are in the impurities.  A spiced rum, for example has impurities that change the taste and color of the liquid.


What is the most efficient exercise?  (What burns the most calories per minute of exercise?)?

Assuming that the goal is to eliminate fat, the best exercises will use maximum muscles (butt and legs) have fairly low intensity- so slow,don't make yourself out of breath. and do it daily for 15 to 30 minutes at least.\njogging slowly, elipticals, or cross country skiing are the best fat burners.  Remember, go slow.

where do i go so that i can adopt a teenager?

Looking for a date?  lol\nI'm just messing with you.  Call child services and they can help you.  You might want to foster a teenager instead of adopt.


I hear ya, we can definitely blame them for their laziness but not for their ignorance. Corporate America is driving them to the brink. What time do they have to learn about nutrition and proper forms of exercise, not to mention what they are being subjected to with false labeling and all the no fat no carb non sence. Who could know? \n\nMost people have families and are busy with their hectic lifestyles but that is no excuse for letting their health slip away from them. They say they have no time but of course there is always time for the PC, television and or video gaming. \n\nTo the point of the question, this is sorry. I used to train with this very hot German girl, my best friend from childhood. Two month with me in the gym and she was getting so tight and looked totally hot and everyone noticed and complimented her. She on the other hand had it in her head that because she was gaining weight (The new muscle) things were all wrong. So she stopped completely and went on a series of fad diets, lost all the lean body mass and now looks like a soggy cherio, go figure.

good question.  Many argue that Africa has no native tradition of democracy and rule of law in a modern context.  Europeans colonised the majority of the continent and forced or otherwise encouraged the natives to abandon their traditional lifeways in favor of "western civilisation" Upon Europe's withdraw at the end of the colonial period, Africans were essentially left high and dry, no longer versed in the ways of their ancestors (political or practical systems) and unable to emulate the traditions of Europe for whatever reason.  Attempts at democracy and market-based economic systems, much less a universal idea of basic human rights have mostly failed in the face of Tribal warfare, government corruption, and bald-faced criminal intent.  Why can't they do better?  Who knows...maybe "European"-style values cannot be easily assimilated into an alien land without the included negative aspects- corruption, abuse, greed.\n\nOScar- to say Africa was living in peace with no problems is outright fantasy- The fact that Africa was misappropriated and abused by Europe in no way justifies such claims. Africa was a mess long before the white man set foot there.  War, disease, strife, violence- all these existed in spades.  You are simply falling into the white liberal guilt trap of pretending everyone else in the world were somehow pure and innocent of such notions.  The fact that Europe and Asia just did it better (or worse) doesn't mean that Africa, the Americas, etc, would not have done the same if they had the ability to.


You didn't really specify if you mean trade between states as in American states or as in different nations. Fundamentally, there is not that much of a difference though. The most important concept in economics is that different economies are really intertwined in one large economy. Different regions and populations possess different resources that others do not. The best examples are natural resources. Imagine how our world would be if the Middle East (or in the domestic case, say, Texas) did not trade their oil. Imagine what would happen to the small island nation of Japan if it could not import raw materials such as iron/steel to produce automobiles. Human resources are also important. The cost of many products we buy would be much higher if Chinese labor were not so inexpensive or if we were forced to produce microchips in southern California for ten times the cost! And far fewer of us would have wine if it weren't for countries like France and Australia, or states like California and Oregon. And what if we couldn't get potatoes from Idaho or peanuts from Georgia? As you can see, states depend on one another to provide raw materials, finished goods, services and labor that they themselves cannot. Without trade between different regions, our world would not function as it currently does and we would all be worse off!


how we should respect our children privacy?

Your child has NO right to privacy.  Any privacy you give your child is a respect that he or she has earned from you, not a right that they are given.  It's the parent's job to know what's going on even when the kid doesn't want you to and to try to guide them even when they don't want it.


Nini, you should really be trying your homework yourself. While you will find satisfaction in the others giving you your answers, you will not be *learning* anything.\n\nThink of the "fish" story: give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. What this means is that the man who learned how to fish was able to take care of himself rather than have someone else do it for him every day. \n\nTry your math problems out yourself. If you continue to get the wrong answers, yes, it could be frustrating, but when it comes time to take tests, you won't be doing them here on Yahoo Answers. You're going to have to know how to do these things yourself. Math isn't really that hard - don't be afraid of learning it.


what's the best way to get over someone?

Why should she miss anyone who in the first place wasnt hers? Just think of him as someone she meets in a dream. Advise her to go for reality. There are tons of men out there and the right one will come along one day, just be patient. Its not the looks that only count, but the heart, that she should be looking for.If he is not meant to be hers, theres no point brooding over that,its not worth it, tell her.

I need your help with the internet problem.?

What browser are you using? Does it do this with any webpage or just the homepage? Your homepage could have been changed to a personal page from AOL, and when you canceled AOL the page no longer exists. If this is the case, simply change your homepage. This doesn't sound like a problem with your connection; if that was the problem it would probably say something else. \n\nIf this doesn't help (or even if it does) try using Mozilla Firefox (free, mozilla.com), that could likely solve all of your problems.


what is the 'bully pulpit?   and why do they call it that?

Paramahansa Yogananda परमहंस योगानन्‍द (January 5, 1893 – March 7, 1952), was an Indian yogi and guru. He was instrumental in bringing Kriya Yoga to the West.\n\n\nLife\nYogananda was born Mukunda Lal Ghosh in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, India into a devout Bengali family. His autobiography claims that from his earliest years, his awareness and experience of the spiritual was far beyond the ordinary. In his youth he sought out many of India's Hindu sages and saints, hoping to find an illumined teacher to guide him in his spiritual quest.\n\nYogananda met his guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, in 1910, at the age of 17. After passing his Intermediate Examination in Arts from the Scottish Church College, Calcutta, he did his graduation in religious studies from the Serampore College, a constituent college of the University of Calcutta .


Why most of the countries of the World hate Americans???

HATE is a very strong word, but along such negative sentiments, perhaps it's because the U.S. has a very aggressive foreign policy that involves itself in the affairs of other nations, often times for its own interests above those of those countries. According to the President's last State of the Union address, this progressive and competitive edge is what affords Americans a certain lifestyle which, often times, is unavailable in those "hateful" countries. The U.S. comes across as "arrogance" at times and in many cases, just "ignorant' of other countries.\n\nOf course, there are religious assumptions as well. And what exactly you mean by "Americans"... in general?

What is hotter, boiling water or boiling oil?

There's many kind of oil with different boiling point. But generally, as oil's boiling point is higher than water (boiling point of oil of turpentine is 159ºC and water is 100ºC), boling oil is hotter than boiling water.


Who do you think will be the next US president ?

Neither one of the two.\n\nWe are still almost 2 years from the ellection, and a lot can happen between now and then.\n\nRemember, in early 1990, most people had never heard of Bill Clinton.  And in Early 1974, most people have never heard of Jimmy Carter.  Early name recognistion does not mean that is the person who will win the election.

what is the difference between lust,love, and in love?

Lust is sexual but you can lust after someone you love or are  in love with but most times they are not associated with each other.Being in love is the discovery of your feelings for someone, it makes you feel weak and happy, scared and silly and when your in love you think that persons little idiosynchrosies are cute and you just have a high feeling everytime you see that person.You dare fate to take that person out of your life knowing you would put up the biggest fight to keep them with you. Love is a much deeper feeling. You know it is love when  you not only adore someone but also appreciate them. You see their faults knowing they see yours too and like you, accepts it as a part of who they are.Love is where you want to see the other one happy even if their happiness has nothing to do with you.Love is knowing when to let go and when to be there to catch that person  when they need it. \nWell, that's how I see it anyway....

What is a good leg exercise for a woman with MS?

Here are a couple that I do.  I sit on the floor legs out together in front of me,then have the foot flexed and reach over your legs to your feet....do the same but have foot pointed. She can just flex and point her feet too.    This other one you need to have something to hold onto.  Stand up and flex one foot and lift the leg to the side about 4 times,then do for the other leg.  After that kick the leg behind you.  This one can have the foot pointed too.      I experience tightness in my legs and these exercises help me.


is possible to recover overwritten data?

If the data has been completely overwritten I don't think there is anyway of getting it back, but if it has been partially overwritten you may be able to get some of it back i.e. if it is a word doc file.\nUsing something like 'Restoration' which I have had some success with in the past but ensure you install it on another hardrive otherwise you will risk overwriting the data you are trying to retrieve.\n\nCheers!


causes of the decline of the family values in malaysia?

Urbanization. People are spending a lot of time working and trying to survive that the family structure get broken down. Apartments in urban areas are too small for extended family. It's easier to hire someone to take care of a parent that to do it yourself. Media also has a big influence on people.

what do you mean by audio low pass filter??

A low-pass filter is a filter that passes low frequencies well, but attenuates (or reduces) frequencies higher than the cutoff frequency. The actual amount of attenuation for each frequency varies from filter to filter. It is sometimes called a high-cut filter, or treble cut filter when used in audio applications.\n\nA high-pass filter is the opposite, and a bandpass filter is a combination of a high-pass and a low-pass.\n\nThe concept of a low-pass filter exists in many different forms, including electronic circuits (like a hiss filter used in audio), digital algorithms for smoothing sets of data, acoustic barriers, blurring of images, and so on. Low-pass filters play the same role in signal processing that moving averages do in some other fields, such as finance; both tools provide a smoother form of a signal which removes the short-term oscillations, leaving only the long-term trend.\n\nContents [hide]\n1 Examples of low-pass filters \n2 Ideal and real filters \n3 Electronic low-pass filters \n3.1 Passive electronic realization \n3.2 Active electronic realization \n4 See also \n5 External links \n \n\n\n[edit]\nExamples of low-pass filters\n \nA low-pass electronic filter realized by an RC circuitA solid barrier acts as a low-pass filter for sound waves. When music is playing in another room, the low notes are easily heard, while the high notes are largely filtered out. Similarly, very loud music played in one car is heard as a low throbbing by occupants of other cars, because the closed vehicles (and air gap) function as a very low-pass filter, attenuating all of the treble.\n\nElectronic low-pass filters are used to drive subwoofers and other types of loudspeakers, to block high pitches that they can't efficiently broadcast.\n\nRadio transmitters use low-pass filters to block harmonic emissions which might cause interference with other communications.\n\nDSL splitters use low-pass and high-pass filters to separate DSL and POTS signals sharing the same pair of wires.\n\nLow-pass filters also play a significant role in the sculpting of sound for electronic music as created by analogue synthesisers, for example the TB-303 created by the Roland corporation. See subtractive synthesis.\n\n[edit]\nIdeal and real filters\nAn ideal low-pass filter completely eliminates all frequencies above the cut-off frequency while passing those below unchanged. The transition region present in practical filters does not exist. An ideal low pass filter can be realized mathematically (theoretically) by multiplying a signal by the rectangular function in the frequency domain or, equivalently, convolution with a sinc function in the time domain.\n\nHowever, this filter is not realizable for practical, real signals because the sinc function extends to infinity. The filter would therefore need to predict the future and have infinite knowledge of the past in order to perform the convolution. It is effectively realizable for pre-recorded digital signals (by padding the ends of the signal with zeros to the point that the error after filtering is less than the quantization error), or perfectly cyclic signals that repeat for infinity.\n\nReal filters for real-time applications approximate the ideal filter by delaying the signal for a small period of time, allowing them to "see" a little bit into the future. This is manifested as phase shift. Greater accuracy in approximation requires a longer delay.\n\nThe Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem describes how to use a perfect low-pass filter and the Nyquist-Shannon interpolation formula to reconstruct a continuous signal from a sampled digital signal. Real digital-to-analog converters use real filter approximations.\n\n[edit]\nElectronic low-pass filters\n \nThe frequency response of a first-order filterThere are a great many different types of filter circuits, with different responses to changing frequency. The frequency response of a filter is generally represented using a Bode plot.\n\nA first-

Because the first gathering of athletes to determine who was the champion of their sport was held on Mount Olympus, in Greece in ancient times.


is there a certain way to ask or invitation to invite someone to be in your wedding?

I think you're talking about how to ask your Bridesmaids and Groomsmen? Ask them in private, one on one, if they'll do you the great favour of standing up with you at the wedding...it is a great honour to be asked to be in a friend's wedding party but it's also a big obligation of time and money, so if they have to say no because they can't afford it or whatever, they should be able to do that in private not in front of others.\nGood luck.


Why is a fly in a moving train able to hover about without hitting the walls?

Every object touching and having good grip on the body of the train, move along with the train.This means that every object inside the train moves with the same velocity as that of the train.Accordingly, fly is also moving with the train. It has gained this speed by sitting on the interior body of the train.According to theory of physics, absolute velocity has no effect and diffrence when the frame of reference is within the object.Therefore fly while flying makes two kinds of motion 1) It is moving along with the train 2) it`s flying in its desired directions.The motions (1) & (2) are true to the observer outside the train.But, motion (2) is true to the observer inside the train because the observer inside the train is also moving along with the train.Moreover, When the fly tries to enter the fast moving train from outside the train, then the probability of striking on the panel (wall) of windows is more with respect to the speed of the train.This is because the fly is not in the speed of the train.You might have observed, some of the men on the platform enter the moving train by moving along with the train for some distance and jump into the train. I think this is enough to comprehend.
