what are the effects of a diet on metabolism?

Metabolism is basically a measure of the body's ability to use oxygen to burn up fuel abtained from food.  Thhe body has a survival mechanism to compensate for too little or too much food over a significant period of time.  For example, a person can fast for a day drinking only water or longer under medical supervision.  During that time, the body conserves fuel (fat) by lowering its metabolic rate.  After about a month of fasting, the body may suffer starvation where body tissue including heart muscle begin to be used up as fuel.  That can be very dangerous and depends on initial body weight.


My bn commander and sgt mjr bought t-shirts with government money, than sold them to soldiers, what can i do?

If this is the only bad thing they have done I would just let it slide. If your leadership is routinely making poor decisions you can contact the the Brig CO or CSM (anonomously if you prefer). If Brigade does nothing then you can take it up to Division. I'm just an ROTC cadet and I don't really know whats going on in your Unit but that is the standard precedure for taking action. I would first contact your platoon or company leadership and address the problem to your superiors. A CO or senior NCO can't fix what they don't know about.\n\nBeing an ROTC cadet I don't have a lot of real world experience. I only answered your question because I am almost 100% sure no one else would have. This is why I would recommend talking with someone in your unit who has had a lot of time in the service. See a Platoon Sergeant or the First Sergeant for some feedback, their job as NCOs is to take care of their soldiers.


Has your fantasy football team lost by less than 1 point in the playoffs?  Mine did (9/10 of a point)?

Well, I was in a league where I ran the table for the majority of the season, then lost my last game because most of my players didn't play... and then in the fantasy playoffs, my studs sat out and I lost by one point.  That sucked hardcore.

The IUPAC Compendium defines work softening as: (I quote)\n\n"work softening\nThe application of a finite shear to a system after a long rest may result in\na decrease of the viscosity or the consistency. If the decrease persists when\nthe shear is discontinued, this behaviour is called work softening (or shear\nbreakdown), whereas if the original viscosity or consistency is recovered\nthis behaviour is called thixotropy."\n\nAs I understand it, under extremely high strain levels some materials (e.g. Al alloys) will exhibit a gradual decrease in the hardness. Lower strain rates will produce work hardening, increasing the hardness of the material.

You can always say I think we should test our waters for a little bit. Or I'm just not feeling it right now..I'm having a lot of stressful things going on and I need some alone time.

Then go to your AOL mail screen to select "write" for a new email & "right click" on the message portion or the main body of the new email. Select the "paste" option and your photo or picture will appear. If you accidentally delete this, just "right click" on the main body and select the "undo" option.  Watch where your curser is to add a message.  Good Luck!


where can i get info on fitting a bicycle?

You made an excelent question, and often an overlooked factor when buying a bicycle.\n\nAs a rule of thumb never buy a serious bike at a departament store, always go to a local bike shop, where you will get great advise.\n\nThe most important measures when buying a bike are\n\n1.- Frame size. There should be 1 or 2 inches between your crotch and the top tube. A longer top tube will give you more stability.\n\n2.- Saddle height. Your leg should be slightly bent while sitting on the saddle and the pedal is at the lowest.\n\n3.- Handlebar Height/lenght. Depending on what you want to do, your handle bar could be 1 or 2 inches below the saddle (mostly MTB and race bikes) or even with the saddle ( touring ) - A short stem will gove you better handling.\n\n4.- Saddle. Once again it will be determined by your riding style, you should find the center of gravity for your riding\n\nThere are a lot of internet sites that could help you make a decision, I suggest you read more on the subject and most important, go to a local bike shop where you will get expert advice.

wat all topics r included in "molecular biology"to make it a separate subject?

Molecular biology is simply biology studied at the molecular level.  At my alma mater, there were three distinct biology majors: integrative biology (which dealt with systems, tissues, anatomy, physiology, and population dynamics), Plant & Microbial Biology (which focused on non-animal biology), and molecular biology.  Molecular biology had 5 areas of focus.\n\nBiochemistry: this dealt with looking at biochemical pathways, such as metabolism, signaling cascades & second messenger systems, etc.\n\nCell & Developmenatal biology: this looked at the processes behind cells going from totipotent cells taht can give rise to any cell, to pluripotent stem cells that can become any of a number of different cells, to differentiated cells that have a single purpose and can only give rise to other cells of the same type.  This looked at the way that chemical gradients and inducers managed to make cells develop into organized tissues.\n\nGenetics: this focused on genetics at the molecular level.  The focus was on DNA and RNA, and the ways that they change, combine, and are translated, studied in minute molecular detail.\n\nImmunology: this focused on the various cells specific to the immune system, and the hormones, transmitters, and pathogens which affect their behavior.\n\nNeurology: this focused on the various cells of the nervous system, and the hormones, neurotransmitters, and drugs that affect their behavior.\n\n\nThe fundamental difference with molecular biology is a matter of scale.  With molecular bio, you are studied things in ultrafine detail.  While microbiology looks at things that can be seen with a light microscope, molecular biology is in such minte detail that it can only be seen with an electron microscope, or perhaps only have its shape inferred by electron diffraction techniques.


I am unable to work because I am anti social how do I overcome this issue?

I dont know if your going to take my words to be done or not, well at least think of then a little, in your case no need to have a work social life, in all cases and normal cases people should separate between personal live and working life, and that will be to avoid problems as much as you can, you should leave ur home life at home when you go to work, and leave your working life at work when you go home, if you dont like having freinds at work then you can give any excuse like sorry I have work to do, or I work evenings, or anything like this way, thats from a side, from another side you can find some work while your home, like internet works, or maybe to creat your own work and after that to make your own company by days..

Being bored and answering questions on Yahoo Answers!!!


An anesthesiologist is a physician who obtains specialty residency training in anesthesia. To become an anesthesiologist, one must first receive a Bachelor's Degree from a four year college or university, and then a Medical Degree (M.D.) from an accredited medical school. After graduation from medical school, a doctor will typically apply for a residency in a specialty such as surgery, pediatrics, or anesthesiology. A residency in anesthesiology requires four additional years of training, with the option for further sub-specialization through a fellowship of one to three years. Board certification may be obtained only by successfully completing a complex written and oral examination process which occurs after graduation from a residency program. So, you must first go to a medical school (and there are plenty in NY) and then you get a residency (there are plenty in NY). \n\nAn anesthetist is a registered nurse with specialty training who delivers anesthesia, sometimes under the supervision of an anesthesiologist and sometimes as a solo practitioner. CRNAs provide anesthetics to patients in collaboration with surgeons, anesthesiologists, dentists, podiatrists, and other qualified healthcare professionals. When anesthesia is administered by a nurse anesthetist, it is recognized as the practice of nursing; when administered by an anesthesiologist, it is recognized as the practice of medicine.\n\nAs advanced practice nurses, CRNAs practice with a high degree of autonomy and professional respect. They carry a heavy load of responsibility and are compensated accordingly.\n\nCRNAs practice in every setting in which anesthesia is delivered: traditional hospital surgical suites and obstetrical delivery rooms; critical access hospitals; ambulatory surgical centers; the offices of dentists, podiatrists, ophthalmologists, plastic surgeons, and pain management specialists; and U.S. Military, Public Health Services, and Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare facilities.\n\nEducation and experience required to become a CRNA include:\nA Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or other appropriate baccalaureate degree. \n\nA current license as a registered nurse. \n\nAt least one year of experience as a registered nurse in an acute care setting. \n\nGraduation with a master’s degree from an accredited nurse anesthesia program. They range from 24-36 months, depending upon university requirements. All programs include clinical training in university-based or large community hospitals. \n\nPass a national certification examination following graduation.\n\nI suspect that you are referring to anesthetists, rather than anesthesiologists. Go to the AANA training website below and look at the NY schools. \n\nHope this helps.

can employer treminate job for seeking help for drug abuse?

It would depend on the type of job that you have, but a 30 day leave of absence in and of itself might be unacceptable to your employer.  Also, other things need to be taken into consideration such as your job performance before hand.  How often you were late or absent.  How well did you perform your job.  \n\nIf I came to my job asking for a 30 day leave to seek drug treatment I would be instantly fired because I work in a sensitive area where any type of drug use will get you fired.

whats the difference between LOVE and INFATUATION?

Well given that I've been married for 7 years and known him for 10, I hope this helps. \n\nInfatuation: is like new found love or "puppy love," it's new exciting and makes you flutter like a butterfly in your stomach. you can't stop thinking about them, you want to be around them, know everything that there is about them, and just experience them first hand. With my husband (when he was my boyfriend at the time) was all I wanted to hear, talk to, hold, and be with. He was what I breath and thought about 24/7. \n\nIt wasn't until 3 years ago, that I realized what love was. Love is where your trust is validated, when he takes care of a bill without you yelling, takes care of the kids for you when you are sick. Cooks a meal for you and it's not your anniversary or birthday. But what really made me realize what love was it when I couldn't make love to him and I was sick. He stood by me through it all and nursed me without thought of his own needs. It's when u are satisfied with this person that you are with despite if they leave the toilet seat wet or up, if they leave their clothes and dirty shoes everywhere alone with the kids, shaves and leaves shavings for yout to clean up, loses his job and u have to work for two years, despite what people say about him you stay beside him because you know he loves you. He gains weight and now weights 300 pounds, he loses he's hair and looks more like your dad than your man. IT's where all material, superficial, and nonessential qualities are not the things that makes the relationship and it lasts because of the little things.\n\nI had four kids for him. gained 120 pounds. He made me feel like a queen despite I was huge and was paitent with me when I couldn't make love to him for 6 months. He's been there when it counted and that's why I love him. the infatuation and honeymoon is over for us, but the romance is still cooking.


how do i get a guy t4hat i love love love to like me back or even  notice me???

Brainstorm.  Don't throw out any ideas, no matter how outrageous they sound.  Eventually, one solution will solve your problem.


What is your view on capital punishment?

Capitol punishment does not work as it is now. Punishments must be public, swift and severe in order to deter. Public hangings detered.\n\nPay per view electric chair a week after your last appeal...say give you 1 year tops to finish the process. Now THAT would work.\n\nOf course, the innate flaws to our "best attourney wins" court system creates the potential in which innocent people may get executed before the time in which their innocence may be proven. This is the unfortunate finality that comes with capital punishment. But capital punishment can work. However, without swift, severe punishment that is viewable by future criminals, capital punishment will not work, and does not work in our society (20 years on death row? ridiculous)\n\nI found myself torn in the case of Tookie Williams recently on this very topic. If Tookie was executed 23 years ago, there would not have been public outcry to save him. Sure he maintained that he was innocent of the murder of the 4 people he was convicted of. But who really believed it (clearly not the jury), and furthermore, that was simply the one crime he was brought to court on. God knows you don't form one of the most prolific gangs our time has known without taking out a few people in your way, and a few people for the hell of it probably too.  Beyond that, the Crips that he founded have gone on to kill likely in the thousands. So he should have been executed (provided you believe in capital punishment to begin with), no question, and it should have been a walk out of the court room straight to the chair. \n\nBut our system is flawed, we let him sit on death row for more than 2 decades and during that time he may have rethought his life. He did some great works trying to use his position to influence kids to make the right choices, the choices he didn't make. Now we choose to execute someone that is in the midst of making a positive influence of our kids instead of the thug that brought many children to hell with him.\n\nIf you execute him in 1982, many good works don't get done, but if you do it publicly, you may send a more real message, and save many kids and their victims for years to come. After 20 years, we probably shouldn't have executed him at all. It was a waste, two fold.

I have a Wireless router at home.3 laptops are connected to it.How can we all share directories?

For this answer, I am assuming that you have Windows XP  on all of the computers. If this is the case, you already have the tools that you need. You must simply enable file/folder sharing on each computer. For example, right click on the folder you wish to share and then in the "Sharing" tab you may choose to share the folder. \n\nIn order to share files/folders, on computers, they must all be in the same workgroup. I have included a link to a tutorial in the sources area for you to check out.\n\nI hope that this has been helpful, happy networking!


my chiropractor said i have myofacial and cervical problems...WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

The myo facial refers to muscles of the face.  Cervical refers to neck problems.  I would advise that you see a doctor to confirm this diagnosis unless you were already referred to the chiropractor for a condition associated with these problems.  Even if your chiropractor is right, a health insurance company may consider future claims void if you begin to get treatment from a chiropractor for a specific condition without physician referal.

How do they get the coloured bit in marbles?

well its all part of the process of making glass. When blowing glass it is heated to the point of flexibility........almost into a liquid form. The colors and swirls are formed during this state. Marbles are rolled to be solid, thus why the different "demensions" can be seen inside the marble. At times you can see an air bubble. Whites and colors come from the different colors added during the heating process. Just as they make glass beads. Go to Venice, Italy! Its amazing to watch. :)


Is it possible to lose your virginity (tear your hymen) to your tampon?

The tampon packaging says there's a hole in the hymen that allows the tampon to go through.\n\nDon't worry about using tampons before you have sex.  Many women do it safely.\n\nThe previous answerer got it right, though.  You're a virgin until you have sex, whatever the state of your hymen is.

How can a person establish the trustworthiness of information on the web?

For one, you have to go with common sense. Most of the time, the answers that do not make sense are obviously not the correct answer. Also, try searching to find another reliable source that says the same thing, such as an encyclopedia. And also, a lot of it is an honor system. Wouldn't you only answer questions that you are sure you know the answer to?


Why do some immigrants who come to the United States refuse to learn english?

I don't believe that it is a matter of refusing to learn English. \nFor Immigrants, it is a challenge to learn to speak a different language. Confusion, embarrassment and frustration are often constant companions for those trying to change the way their tongues work and their minds think.\nAlso, Immigrants are often too busy working and raising a family to take up classes and for some it is a money issue, they simply do not have the extra cash. Some have no education and never attended school in their native country and are illiterate and wouldn't know where to start.\nWhatever their reason might be, learning a different language is hard. It takes an emotional & psychological toll on people, especially when they are older since they will probably find jobs in fields were their co-workers speak their native tongues and don't have to interact with English speakers on a regular basis. Children have an easier time learning a different language as well as adjusting to a different culture since they are constantly around it at school, taking English only classes, making friends who only speak English and watching English programming on TV.\nAlthough it will be a life long struggle for most, they will eventually learn enough to get by on every day life situations.


Absolutely!  God has always been there for me when I’ve needed him.


what is the besat way to save for retirement?

It depends on how old you are.  Most retirement plans depend on the economic conditions at the time of retirement.  One person can take their 401k out this year and might get more money then the person taking it out the year after.  See, its all economics.  On top of the economics, its what you invest in.  When you put money in a 401k, you have experts putting it into mutual funds for you.  They take alot from you.  So, theoretically, you can buy your own stocks and make a heck of a lot more.  And instead of investing in them for 45 years, you can invest for 8 years and make the same amount or more.  This is true, however, you dont know what to invest in.  So, I suggest you start small and on something a bit more safe.  I will show you 2 or 3 of the best ways to do this.  I am a rare coin expert.  These ways are not fool proof because the economy goes up and down in a cycle of booms and busts.  But, they do cut out the risk because you only have 10 years left.  \nThe first method is through gold.  I suggest you buy the physical form and not stocks or anything of that nature.  You can buy the physical form and allow the sellers to store it for you.  Do not allow them to store it for you if they are just a small company.  I would rather take the physical gold with me.  There is a fee to take this gold with you though.  But, its better then not having it.  With gold, its always hovering at about $278 to about $315.  I would say that anything less then $290 is a good buy.  When you buy, they always tack on an additional couple of dollars because the gold was assayed into a gold bar for you.  When gold is high, they add like $4.  When it is low, they might add $7 dollars.  Dont worry about this.  Just pay for it.  I would rather buy bullion coins then the gold bars in the packages.  They cost $10 dollars above the gold value in the bar form.  Now, there are certain gold bullion coins that you should and shouldnt buy.  Its always best to go for the pure gold ones.  The reason being is, sometimes a jewelry store will take it in, but they will only pay for its content because they were going to melt it anyways.  And if it wasnt pure 24k, then they might have to take a couple dollars off to turn it into 18k or 14k, etc etc.  So, the purest ones are the Canadian gold coins, and the Chinese gold coins.  When gold goes down, you buy, when they go up, you sell.  Its that simple.  You cant lose because gold goes up and down all the time.  So, dont sell if you lose.  Just keep it there.  Whats the point of saving if you are going to dip into it?  So, over the course of 10 years, I know you can make a sizeable profit.  The question is large or small because you will not know when to buy and sell.  All you see is a profit when you sell, and you see a cheap price when you buy.  What you do is buy when its around $290 or less.  Sell, when it goes up.  And with the excess, you can buy more gold.  Just continue doing this.  I know for a fact that you can start off with $3000 dollars today and make at least 20 trades in the next 10 years and make no less then 100% of your investment back.  Gold is currently at $500 plus.  What if you bought it when it was $290 or less, which is what is preferred.  Thats over 200 per ounce.  So, in a year or two, do you see that you would have had over 5k?  You just have to wait till it goes down to around the 300 mark.  I mean, even if you buy for 290, and it goes up to 310 in 2 weeks, you can still sell and make 300 dollars.  That would add almost another ounce to your portfolio.  Continue to do this until you are about to retire.  During the last year, you will be waiting for the highest price you can find to sell.  Another thing to look into is instead of gold coins, you can buy grain gold.  They are just little balls of pure gold.  They are usually a couple dollars cheaper, but they are hard to obtain sometimes.  \nSecond way of investing is buying coins from the US mint.  They will be the cheapest price you pa

The greatest threat to Earth is from a collision with another large object...an NEO from within our solar system or an “alien” one from outside.  When galaxies and stars collide, they merge over time and energy and matter are mostly conserved.  When terrestrial objects collide, there is destruction and the release of energy.  For an organic biosphere such as Earth's, a collision with an object about 10 miles wide would vaporize our atmosphere and oceans, and leave the Earth in a state similar to the moon.  Even a 150 meter wide object (currently undetectable) could destroy a major city.  It is only a matter of time until a collision with an Armageddon-size-object and the Earth occurs.  Hopefully humanity will be PREPARED to defend itself when the time comes.

Why did Columbus insist that the world was round, whereas most believed that it was flat, the church included?

No one, not even the church believed the earth was flat when Columbus sailed. The major point of contention was just how big around it was. The biggest theologian in the Middle Ages, Thomas Aquinas believed in the spherical earth and died 218 years before Columbus sailed. Further, Dante's Divine Comedy, written between 1308 and 1321, more than a hundred years before Columbus sailed, describes a round earth. Finally, Bertold von Regensburg referred to the round earth in a sermon in the vernacular, letting us know that it was common knowledge even among the uneducated that the earth is round.


how does fleece affect the melting of ice?

If you rub the ice with the fleece then friction introduces heat to the ice and may melt some.  \n\nIf you wrap ice in fleece on a warm day then the insulating properties of fleece will reduce the rate at which it melts.

Do you need a powerful video card to play movies on a TV?  **read more**?

See Below for a link to HD-Out cards.\n\nThe video card won't matter for TV watching but it will matter for DVD playback.  Even if you aren't going to game, some low end video cards result in choppy playback.  It depends on how much you want to spend but I like the GeForce 6600 or 6600GT with 128MB of memory.  If you go for the ATi camp then a Radeon 9600XT should be fine.  I know for a fact these provide smooth play back.  Though it depends on what type of connection you were going to use.  Most video cards have S-Video out but it depends on what you were planning to use.\n\nIt also depends on if you are going to use PCIe (PCI Express) or an AGP slot for the card.\n\nI would (depending on the type of connection you want to use) buy a seperate video card and get a PCI TV tuner card, if you have a spare PCI slot.\n\nFor HD-Out cards, see this page but stick to the guidlines above for the GPU, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?submit=PROPERTY&SubCategory=48&propertycodevalue=2328:14100&bop=and&order=PRICE\nMaybe you missed it, the above link will take you to a bunch of cards that have HD-Out.

What is the best investment people can make when their young?

I would open an account with sharebuilder, there are very cheap and you do not have to buy tons of stocks. They have good investment tools also. In my opinion, the most important thing is to be consistant and make sure you are putting something away every week or month. It becomes a good habit and the money starts to pile up.


How do you increase your chances of getting in to law school?

Get good grades in high school and college.  Do well on the LSAT.  Be involved in college in more than just classes.  BE GOOD in college.  Know that when you go to take your Bar Exam, you actually have to find "character witnesses" (and yes, that is plural) who do not share your last name, that will vouch for your good character.  Realize that the profession you are going into has higher standards for you than most people do!


Friction occurs when two objects rub together, and is not dependent on gravity. So there would be friction even in outer space.\n\nProbably you are referring to air friction, which happens when objects move through the air. Since there is no air in outer space, there will be no air friction. That is why a moving spacecraft can turn off its rockets and keep moving forever in outer space (as long as it does not hit something or is pulled by gravity of a planet, moon or star).


Olympia, this is the capital of Washington state. Im from this town too :)


Other key advantages to round manhold covers include the ability to roll them (making them easier to move), and the fact that the corners don't have to be aligned. However, most manhole covers are probably round simply because they're easier to manufacture.\n\n"A round one can fall through the hole just as easy as a square one. - Think about it."\n\nActually, no. Assuming the lip underneath the manhole cover is narrower than the cover to prevent it from falling in the first place, a square cover can be turned vertically and rotated 45 degrees horizontally (so that the length of the cover is diagonal to the opening). In this orientation, if the length of the cover is L, the Pythagorean Theorem says that the length of the diagonal of the opening will be L * sqrt(2), adjusted for whatever the width of the lip is.\n\nMeanwhile, there is no way to rotate a circle to align a narrow part of the cover with a wide part of the opening, because the diameter of a circle is the same in any orientation.\n\nSo while a square cover would not fall in casually, someone who is trying to do so is perfectly capable of dropping one in, while a round cover cannot be dropped into a properly constructed manhole opening, no matter how malicious the intent of the person trying to do so.

Do you ever base your purchses on whether or not it was produced in a sweatshop?

No. Honestly... its more "is this product worth $X to me." As for the whole sweat shop idea.. i think its alot of misinformation. The third world already has enough trouble attracting investment and exporting its goods we shouldnt boycott them when they can make something we find useful.


Why is the cult to the Virgin of Guadalupe so popular in Mexico?

first, the Virgin of Guadalupe is not a cult. the virgin's appearance in mexico provides a way for people to venerate her as the mother of God.\nnow, for the popularity question. the virgin appeared around the 16th century, when the aztec rule in mexico was taken over by the spanish. the traditional aztec religion dictated that people had to be sacrificed to appease all their various gods, such as quetzalcuatl [sp] or their 'mother god' who had similarities to medusa. the peasant people obviously feared the gods and their religion, as it meant that perhaps someday they could become victims to the daily massacres that occured in the temples. when the virgin appeared to one of the peasants, the indians saw how she was a pregnant native girl, evidently royalty because of her clothing. they saw how she was standing in front of the sun and on top of the moon, which indicated that she was more powerful than even the sun or moon gods. she had on a black belt that indicated pregnancy, so her child [god] was also more powerful than the sun or the moon. they saw the various miracles associated with the image, and her message to deliver them. they saw her and her religion as more powerful and even better than theirs, seeing her as a mother instead of a god thirsting for their blood. They dedicated themselves to her and embraced the catholic faith, by the millions. the tradition of veneration to her and her son was passed on for centuries and continues today.

How does culture reflect the economic and social organization of a people?

This orientation has allowed him to explore and advocate some quite ‘utopian’ and abstract ideas (especially around systems theory and the necessity of bringing human values to the workplace). At the same time he has been able to mediate these so that they can be worked on and applied by people in very different forms of organization. His areas of special interest are said to focus on decentralizing the role of leadership in organizations so as to enhance the capacity of all people to work productively toward common goals. One aspect of this is Senge’s involvement in the Society for Organizational Learning (SoL), a Cambridge-based, non-profit membership organization. Peter Senge is its chair and co-founder. SoL is part of a ‘global community of corporations, researchers, and consultants’ dedicated to discovering, integrating, and implementing ‘theories and practices for the interdependent development of people and their institutions’. One of the interesting aspects of the Center (and linked to the theme of idealistic pragmatism) has been its ability to attract corporate sponsorship to fund pilot programmes that carry within them relatively idealistic concerns.


how can you bypass a strict filtered government network to surf the internet?

You can also try and access by proxie sites, however, if your CS/IT admins are smart, they have already blocked these.\n\nKeep in mind that government computer systems are not permissiable to use for personal needs.  Surfing pornography, questionable content, and such is strictly forbidden by government statute, and many many military base policies, and is quite punishable (if you are military).\n\nSimple rule of thumb:  Government system, check email; other than that, use only for research or job need.  It just isn't smart to abuse such a service.\n\nOne way to get around this is to use some form of dial up connection from your data port on the phone, to access like MSN or AOL at work, this way you bypass any government computer, and just use your own dedicated network.  Though, this is only available if you have multiple phone lines.  Keep in mind, this doesn't apply if the government employeer provides the MSN or AOL services, in which case the same rules apply as do those on the LAN.


what do the stars on a college football player's helmet mean?

The decals are removed at the start of the next football season.\n\n\nDuring college all star games, you'll see the palyer's helmets with decals from diffent schools also. They will most likely keep the helmet for life.

which is smaller: electron, proton, neutron, or quark?

The electron has smaller mass than any of the known quarks, and of course smaller than the proton or neutron.  Search the rest mass of up and down quarks against the .5 MeV of the electron.  You'll get estimates on the order of several hundred MeV.  I've taken "Smaller" here to mean mass, since the standard theory of particle physics assumes electrons and quarks to be pointlike and therefore both have no volume.

I think that apples have many uses.  I've used them in a chicken stir-fry, pie, with tuna salad or chicken salad, on a spinach salad, baked, fried, peeled, sliced, as a garnish.\n\nI've also consumed them in juice, cider, hard cider, applesauce, and many types of deserts.\n\nApples are also more exciting because there are so many distinct varieties.  I like Gala apples the best.\n\nOranges are great, but other than for eating them plain, drinking orange juice, or using a little orange zest in a recipe, I don't have as many uses for them.  Plus, the peel makes them more time-consuming to eat.


Its very very simple. Just smile allways

is there any case laws involving child custody issues that are in favor of the father?

All custody laws are designed to favor the child, not the father or mother. It is the bias of the system that too often favor the mothers in any custody issue unnecessarily. This undoubtedly stems from the likelihood that more men bail after a child is born than do women...so we create laws and system biases that badly affect men trying to be good fathers because of the bad fathers...incidently the bad fathers generally don't feel the pain of the problems with the system.

Are there really three dimensions of space and one of time? Or is spacetime a higher-dimensional?

space as we see it has the three dimensions of space and one of it .But if u want to explain everything that is happening around us we have to assume that space is multi-dimensional.I know it is quite hard to imagine and think about a space having dimensions greater than 3 (also caled hyperspace)but there is no way out.A mathematics devised by reinmann is used to study hyperspace .It is easier to write down the equations of hyperspace than to imagine it.Gravity is also defined as the bending of this hyperspace.Many scientist's also believe that hyperspace can give us the answer for an unified field theory.

How can I improve academic achievement of esl students?

I have a few ideas that I think would be good possibilities for you.\n\nFor instance, many ESL students graduate with good reading and writing skills but their listening and speaking skills are not good enough for effective verbal communication with native English speakers.\n\nMy company has developed a unique line of English pronunciation software programs that can help ESL students fully develop their English listening and speaking skills.  \n\nMore and more schools are incorporating accent reduction classes as part of their offerings.  In fact the TOEFL has just changed to add a speaking section.  \n\nI would love to discuss this with you.  My company would also be happy to help you conduct a study that incorporated English pronunciation software.  You can contact me through the contact information on my website (www.AccentMaster.com).\n\nSteve Bo

Did the apostles totally abandon their families?

When Jesus talked about leaving their families, it did not mean physically leave. In fact, the Bible is very clear that the family is to be valued, honored, and cared for. What he meant was that there should be no one or any thing that we value more than we do God; that we should put following Christ above everything. The really great thing about it is when we do in fact do what he asks us to do, our life is better than we ever could imagine it to be. There is a great site that I've added below that offers online Christian books and Bible Studies. I highly recommend you going there and finding the ebook by Andrew Murray titled The New Life. Murry lived more than 100 years ago, but was an awesome teacher of the Bible and what it really means to be a child of God.

What philosophy are AMD Cpu's built on??

AMD was first established on May 1, 1969 and started as a company working out of one of the co-founders living rooms. AMDS's main goal was simple, they wanted to create a successful semiconductor company. By September AMD had raised enough money to open their first permanent home, at 901 Thompson Place in Sunnyrak. By the end of AMD's fifth yaer, there was around fifteen hundred employees making over two hundred different products, in their first five years AMD made nearly $26.5 million in anual sales. AMD's sales steadily grew throughout the years until 1986 when the tides of change swept the industry and Japanese semiconductor makers began to dominate the market. AMD, along with the rest of the industry, began searching for new ways to compete with the market. The solution, AMD began building its submicron capability with the Submicron Development Center. AMD's new ability to compete in the market led to the development of their microprocessors compatible with IBM computers. AMD increased drastically through 1995 - 1999 due mainly to their increasingly competetive product offering. With the development of the AMD - K6 processor AMD was able to become a serious competitor to Intel in the microprocessor market. \n\nAMD vs. Intel\n\nIn 1997 AMD introduced the first of a new line of processors, the k6, which was supposed to compte directly with Intels socket 7 CPU. The k6 processor had a definite edge over Intels chip. The k6 core was much more powerful then Intels and it also held a slight advantage in the MHZ departmant. Intel quikly countered the k6 with the PII putting Intel well infront of the CPU market. AMD began to challenge the market again a year later with the releasal of the K6-2 that had 100 mhz frontside bus and contained a new technology that enanched 3d games without having a graphics accelerator. The k6-2 began selling slowly but it quickly caught on in the OEM matkets and really caught on in the gaming worlds because of the 3D/Now techology that provided the extra edge that the gamers needed. Intel had control over the higher end computers but AMD was making a nice little hole in the gaming market until Intel tried to beat them again with the Celeron processor. At first AMD had no problem out doing the L2 cacheless chip but wiht the intoduction of the Celeron 300A, that could easily be overclocked between 400 and 450 mhz, going as high as 550 - 600 mhz with someluck and alot of cooling, AMD was facing a problem. The only thing that allowed AMD to compete with the Celron chip was its 3D/Now technology that still gave it the edge over the cheap and fast Cleron. A price war between AMD and Intel followed while AMD tried to compete with both the Celron and the PII but ing January of 1999 AMD actually outsold Intel. Though it was only one month of being the leader of the market it still gave the company the consumer confidence they needed to compete with Intel.

You are correct that the box is the color of the light it reflects.   Alternatively, you can say:  The box is the color not absorbed by the molecules on its surface.     But you would never say the box is the color absorbed by the molecules on its surface.   That is, your last statement is false.


Generally speaking it's not hard to buy liquid nitrogen from a welding supply shop, gas supplier or cryogenics company, but you have to bring your own Dewar and they won't fill anything other than the proper kind (at least they shouldn't). You might find a welding shop that rents Dewars, or you can buy one for about $300. You can contact your nearest gas supplier or cryogenics company. Price depends on quantity but for smaller quantities it usually costs around three dollars a litre.

well, all plasma is is gas when all of the atoms are ionized, so it's not like something special happens, so nothing can really happen after it.  I mean, at a substance's coldest, the particles have no movement, and it's solid, then as temperatures increase they get more movement and can slide around each other, becoming liquid, and finally when it gets hot enough, the particles are moving so fast that they separate from each other and fly every which way, which is a gas.  No matter how hot it gets, the particles are still going to be seperate, and will just move faster and faster, still being a gas.  Plasma isn't even just solely a result of temperature, other conditions have to occur as well, and all of the atoms are ionized (meaning that they have complete electron shells and they do this by losing or gaining electrons. They are most stable when they have completely filled orbitals.)  Now you have a bunch of very fast ionized particles. Nothing more can really happen to them... hmmm, wait, actually, unless protons start shooting out and they become other elements... Who knows what happens at such extreme temperatures? Well with larger radioactive elements, there is decay that goes on over time converting one element into another, so maybe that would be influenced by temperature and pressure.  well there still wouldn't be another state of matter, it would just be different elements at either gas or plasma state.

We see colours reflected by objects.Then how do we see black colour?

When white light (for example sun light) strikes a black object, almost all the light (all visible wavelengths) are absorbe and not re-released.  That is why a black object heats up more under the sun than a white object that reflects all visible wavelengths.  You can still see the black object because it may not be perfectly black and not all visible wavelengths are absorbed or because some of the white light is reflected at the surface without being absorbed.  For light to be absorbed, the photons must penetrate the material and interact with the electrons of the atoms and molecules it meets which absorbs either none, some or all of the photons before reflecting the rest back to your eye as black, a specific color or white light.  Also consider clear glass where the photons interact with electrons and are almost all allowed to pass through only slowing down because of the longer path - permitting lenses and magnification.

when does a derogatory word turn offensive?

a derogatory word becomes offensive only when it is intended to be offensive.  This is why, I believe, "nigger" can be used by african-americans, but not by whites.  This is why my african-american student Antoine could call my white student Grace "my nigger", but Grace would have a more difficult time calling Antoine "my nigger"\nIt's all about context, connotations, and sensitivity (or insensitivity) to feelings.\nThis is also why this program turned the "n" word into a series of asterisks, rather than allowing my original post to go unedited.  The word is too commonly used in an offensive way, so even though I'm not trying to be offensive, it still won't let me use the word.

I am going to goa and will miss yahoo and shiva_ni30's answers


Absolutely but only in a few places. I'm from Nova Scotia (NS). I don't know about British Columbia (BC) but NS would be the only place to surf besides BC. In NS the best places are the beaches all along the south coast of the province. The best is probably Lawrencetown Beach near Halifax where they surf all year round (using full wet suits in the winter of course). The waves are great there and I love to body surf them in the summer. Also great is Martinique Beach about 20 kilometers east of Lawrencetown.


sex appeal consciousness in female adolescents?

I live in a city too, ostensibly.  A few years ago, the bike I chose was exactly that, a light mountain bike.  I chose a Haro Escape.  It's expensive (good-quality) enough that I don't feat pot-holes and our crazy streets here.  Cheap enough I recognize its weaknesses and don't sweat (too much) when I lock it up to grab a video or soda on my routes.


What paint ball gun has the best stealth, and power?

Stealth is determined by how loud the gun is.  Louder guns will be open bolt, blowbacks.  You can make a marker quieter but running it at a lower pressure.  All paintball markers will shoot just as powerful as one another (the international limit on the max speed of a paintball is 300fps).  With an unlimited budget, I would say the "stalthiest" marker would be a DM4/5/6, but those cost around 500 for the cheapest and $1500 for the most expensive.  For woodsball, which is what I assume you are playing, since you want stealth, a marker with a low operating pressure, such as a Smart Parts Ion, would be fairly quiet.  You have to remember, the marker is expelling almost 200psi of gas in as little as 10ms, so no gun is going to be as quiet as a normal gun with a silencer.

What are vesicles in a cell? a simple answer for a high school (grade 10) needed.?

In cell biology, a vesicle is a relatively small and enclosed compartment, separated from the cytosol by at least one lipid bilayer. If they have only one lipid bilayer, they are called unilamellar vesicles; otherwise they are called multilamellar. Vesicles store, transport, or digest cellular products and wastes.\n\nThis biomembrane enclosing the vesicle is the same as that of the outer cellular membrane. Then, because of the separation, the intravesicular environment can be made to be different from the cytosolic environment. Vesicles are a basic tool of the cell for organizing metabolism, transport, enzyme storage, as well as being chemical reaction chambers. Many vesicles are made in the Golgi apparatus, but also in the endoplasmic reticulum, or are made from parts of the plasma membrane.\n\nMore at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesicle_%28biology%29

what is the volume in cu in of 750' of half inch id pipe ???

First, find the area of the circle that is the end of the pipe.  Pi * r squared = 3.1416 * (.25 / 2) = 0.7854 square inches.\n\nThen multiply by the length of the pipe.  BUT, since you want cubic inches, and the pipe is 750 FEET long, convert feet to inches (750 * 12).\n\nSo the answer is 750 * 12 * .7854 = 7068.6 cubic inches\n\nThe prior answer above assumed 750 INCH LONG pipe not 750 FOOT long pipe (750')

Spin the bottle is a party game in which several players sit in a circle. The game starts by one player spinning a bottle. Whomever the bottle points to, the spinner must kiss. The kissee becomes the next spinner. In some variants, the spinner gets to spin again if the bottle points to a player of the non-preferred gender. Other variants include an "ordering" style game, the bottle spins, he who is on the bottom end of the bottle orders the one on the thin end to kiss any other of the players. Another variant is where the person that the neck of the bottle is pointing to has to take off a piece of clothing, and the loser is the first to have removed all of his/her clothes.\n\nSpin the bottle isn't a game in the traditional sense of having winners and losers. It's primarily used as a way for young teenagers to make their first forays into kissing.\n\nThe game can also be played in combination with another game such as Truth or Dare. In that variation, the spinner gets to ask the person whom the bottle points to an intimate, personal or other question, which must be answered truthfully. If the answerer does not wish to answer the question, then they must agree to perform a dare, which might include kissing a person of the spinner's choice. Yet another variant makes the spinner announce a given dare before the spin, which the person the bottle ends up pointing to performing the dare afterwards. This might of course be the spinner him-/herself, which naturally tends to keep the dares more reasonable.\n\nThere is a variant of Spin the bottle known as Seven Minutes in Heaven, where the spinner spends seven minutes kissing with the kissee.


do guys always use after efects when they talk?

Not always, but they are good at making sound effect to imitate or describe the things they were doing.  I don't know if all men do this all the time, but I know even my husband will imitate a sound every now and then.. but usually at the garage while explaining what is going wrong with our car... maybe that's why girls aren't good with cars.. they don't make good sound effects.\n\nBut I once gave a girl that worked at the store a ride home after her car stalled, and every time I turned a corner she would say "Eeaarrrpp"..imitaing squeeling tires, I thought she was odd, and so did my passengers.

The Earth has probably already peaked as a haven for plants and animals and begun its long descent into oblivion, according to scientists at the University of Washington who have plotted out the future of our planet.\n\nThese are not prophets of doom who have mounted the podium to warn us that we are killing ourselves through bad stewardship. They are scientists who say all good things must come to an end sometime, and at best we've got no more than half a billion years left.\n\nAfter that, the planet will return to its ancient past, inhabited only by bacteria and single-celled organisms, just as it was in its earliest years. But in time even those will vanish as the Earth is reduced to a lifeless chunk of rock, or swallowed entirely by an expanding Sun. \n\n...

where can i go to a school for dental hygiene and not have to take basic courses?

I doubt that you can go to a legitimate college to learn dental hygiene without taking basic courses. Dental hygiene is a health care profession and it requires that you know a lot of information, and you need basic courses to get the background information that you need to do the advanced courses. You also work with real patients, this is a regulated field, and there are probably certification/licensure requirements that specify that everyone must take basic courses.\n\nYou don't say how old you are, but if you are still in high school you may be able to take some of the basic courses as advanced placement in high school and be able to bypass some of them in college.\n\nYou could do a less-skilled variation of dental hygiene (I don't know what its called, but something like a dental assistant) that requires less education. But don't do it if you really want to be a dental hygienist.

Why do chicken lay eggs with shells made of lime although they never eat anything containing lime or live in?

Lime is calcium carbonate, which is what we use to make bone.  It is available from a wide variety of plants.\n\nCalcium doesn't just make bones, it is essential for other biological processes.  This is why you can lose bone mass - if you get low on calcium, the body will leech it from the bones for more important functions.\n\nIn chicken eggs, not only does the shell protect the embryo, the calcium is leeched from the shell to provide calcium for the growing chick.  By the time the chick is ready to hatch, the shell is thinned down enough for the chick to get through.

What should i look for when buying a new bowling ball?

It depends highly on your play style. If you're used to throwing house balls, which are plastic with a static core, then it'll take a lot of practice to get used to the custom balls. They have what's called a "dynamic" core; it's smaller, more dense, and helps impart spin on the ball to create the hook you see professional bowlers throwing. Choose a comfortable weight; remember that lighter balls won't have the same power through the pocket as heavy ones, but heavy balls are harder to throw and sometimes control. In the long run, choose a ball that just -feels- right to you. Trust a bowling alley's pro shop owner with the decisions he gives for you, and ask the guy a LOT of questions, because he'll know the answers.

Is there any place on earth where it has never ever rained?

It depends on what time scale you are asking.  Ever, being ever in the earths history?  I would think that it has rained at some point everywhere.  Or, rain being the liquid form of water.  If that being the case, it has probably never rained at the north and south polar regions.  It is too cold, and snows.


How much cash can I deposit before the government will get 'interested'?

According to this site, "The BSA requires banks to maintain records of funds transfer in amounts of $3,000 and above."\n\nSo, if you deposit like $2500 or something, you should be fine.  Just don't deposit like $2999, or that'll REALLY set them off (I think they call that "smurfing" and they look out for it.)


the answer to this question is not really well-known by the scientific community.  there are a number of competing models for explaining the energy  of empty space.  a good place to start learning about it would be to look up the cosmological constant, which is incorporated into general relativity.  it can be measured and is proportional to the energy density of empty space.  see the link below for more details.


If you are married should you still have a profile on a dating service online?

Absolutely not. How did you not kick him as hard as you could? You have more self control than I do. Whenever he is not home go and put your own profile on that same website and start sending him messages and just mess with him a while. Set up a meeting (if he goes for it) and bust him there. Then after he knows you know, talk about why he did it and see if its something he did out of boredom or for another reason. Good Luck!!


If light is slowed... will it change from energy to mass?

When the light speeds up it gains mass, so it should loose mass when it slows down.\n\nSo you are right. Light has zero rest mass. So it will be as if it was non existant when its at rest. But we know when light hits any other particles it converts to energy and reveals its presense ( We humans also detect light with eyes, but its similar process of how objects get hot in summer with light ).\n\nNewton's Corpslcular theory can be very good classical explantion of mass/energy relation of light if every were normal classical photon. But we all know that Newton was wrong, and light will not change its direction slowly to conserve energy, but when it hits any smooth surface it retracts immediately. So its velocity at that point of hitting is zero for very very very short periods of time, and again its back to light speed. So your question does not have a classical or quantum explantion, but reltivity theory can be used to understand it.

sand dunes in felicity, ca, when is the best time to go and is there a web page?

I'm not sure if it's close to Felicity but there are sand dunes near Yuma, Az (right on the border of California).  If we are talking about the same place you don't want to go during the summer.  It's upward of 115-120 degrees in the sun.  Also, if you want to stay alive don't go on the Memorial/Labor Day holidays.  People get drunk and get killed out there all of the time.  I would go to the dunes right after Labor Day or right before Memorial Day.  It will be warm with a smaller crowd of people.  For more information, look up hotels in Yuma, Az online and just call and ask.....they should have some good information or they can point you in the right direction.

What is the record depth that scientists have drilled into the earth?

Drilling into the earth is done for a number of reasons. Some are exploratory, many are for oil, some for water, some for mining purposes, and others for various reasons. As we explore the layers of the earth, we uncover many things and have a need to dig deeper into the earth into uncharted regions, not knowing what we will find.\n\nThe deepest drilling ever done by mankind is the drilling that has taken place on the Kola Peninsula in Russia. This drilling started in 1970 and had reached a depth of 12,262 meters, in 1994. The drilling itself was done differently in the Kola Peninsula. The entire drill itself was not rotated; only the drill bit was turned by the flow of drilling mud.\n\nThe Kola Peninsula drill's goal drilling depth is 15,000 meters. At this depth it is expected to be 300 degrees Celsius or higher, too high of a temperature for the drill to operate at. Another drilling worth mentioning has been started in the Caspian Sea. This drill also shares the same goal depth as the drilling at the Kola Peninsula. Aside from drillings for research, a noteworthy drilling is the Bertha Rogers well in Oklahoma, Texas, which is a 9,583 m (31,441 ft) deep gas well. This was the previous world record holder prior to the drilling in the Kola Peninsula. The well was started in 1974 and continued until it struck molten sulfur at its final depth.


what is the meaning of "status quo" Is it English word?

It is the "current state of affairs." The Latin word "status" refers to something that has been "set up" - and is the same word that we get terms like "state," "status" (as in someone has high "status" in a community), and "statue" from.\n\n"Quo" in this context actually means "that was" - it's kind of like the Spanish "que" which is a very fluid term and can have many meanings in many possible contexts. The complete phrase is actually "status quo ante" which refers to some state of existence BEFORE some event. But now we have dropped the "ante" and just use "status quo" to indicate some current state of affairs.
