Is cheerleading a sport? And if you don't belive so, why not?

Yes, cheerleading is definately a sport. I'm a cheerleader at my local high school and I have to say it's harder than it looks. In any other sport you drop the ball and thats all you lose, in cheerleading you drop a girl that could be a life lost or a bone broken. We do alot of things that require us to be in perfect condition and on our toes at all times. I really get defensive about this because I know how hard it is, I know how hard we work and I don't appreciate people saying "we're just girls in skirts rah-rahing around showing our underwear". Cheerleading takes alot of hard work, determination, long practices, and teamwork. So, before you judge us or judge our "SPORT" get to know us and try cheerleading and see how well you do it.\n\nBy the way "Bring it On" was the worst movie ever made! Cheerleaders don't act like that.


Those space suit the astronauts wear? THey are hooked up to and filled with not pure oxygen, like other answerers said, but the same mix of air as on earth -  78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. This is done because pure oxygen is extremely flammable, and the astronauts of Apollo 1 died when a spark went off in their cockpit.


I was denied admissions to UCBerkeley. How should my letter of appeal be?

List all your outstanding performance from the past, if not included in your original application. Tell them what a great student you will be and what a great loss the student body will suffer if they miss you.\nOther than that, there are still a lot of good schools around(Standford is nearby.)


Whatever happened to that missing person's case involving Johnny Depp's biz. partner?

Like many celebrities, Depp has had several run-ins with the law over the course of his career. His first arrest was in Vancouver for a late-night altercation in a hotel lobby. He was accused of selling drugs at his club The Viper Room, after actor River Phoenix died in front of the club from a drug overdose in 1993 though the owners were not involved in the tragic death. In 1994, Depp was arrested and questioned by police for allegedly causing serious damage to a New York hotel suite. He was arrested again in 1999 for getting into a fight with paparazzi outside a restaurant while dining in London with his girlfriend, Vanessa Paradis.\n\nAlong with Sean Penn and Mick Hucknall Depp part-owns the Parisian restaurant-bar Man Ray\n\nCouldn't find anything mentioned about anyone disappearing...

what do you think about a church locking the doors?

I think that church's preacher is violating laws and endangering the lives of his followers. If the church some how caught on fire with the church doors locked people might have been killed or seriously burned. Suggesting a little boy jump off a building is child abuse and permanently damaging. Turning up the heat may have caused heat stroke. Before more damage is done this preacher ought to be reported to  the fire department and either the local police or state police. In addition, the preacher should be reported to the National Association of Church Business Administration (NACBA), 100 North Central Expressway, Suite 914, Richardson, TX 75080-5326  or phone 800.898.8085. The NACBA ( http://www.nacba.net ) should be able to guide you from there. People's lives may be a stake. Don't wait to report these dangerous misguided actions. Good luck.

What do you think about my cousins abortion  story? I'm 14 form Maine and want to know other ppl's opinions

Hard question to answer. Having an abortion is not something that I would ever consider, but also raising a child who is going to be dependant on drugs is not something I would do either.  I think that you should not judge your cousin.  She is probably being judged enough as it is.  Hopefully having an abortion will be a wake-up call for her. If not, hopefully she will at least have enough sense to not put another baby in the same situation.

does anyone know a backdoor password for insyde software bios?

There is no backdoor password. However, you can clear the password by re-setting the BIOS by means of the jumpers. Somewhere on your motherboard will be a set of jumpers (VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHICH ONES) that will clear your password when changed postion, starting the machine, shutting down, re-position to original position. re-start machine some repeated times to get everything back in order.

I am not affiliated with any hospital as a medical employee. What I am telling you is from my experience as a patient. God Bless.

What is Relay Race about and how to relay race?

Relay racing is strictly about team accomplishment. Not individual achievement, but relay team accomplishment.\nBased on track and field set up; 400mtr relay, four members position themslvs at quarter positions around the track. Lead-off runner carries a batoon while running and hands it to the 2nd leg runner, who runs w/it and hands it to the 3rd leg runner, who does the same to the final (and usually the fastest) member of the team, whom you hope will win for you.


Fall in love online an others push it into our face. Is it possible to be truly in love, when no one believes?

Love is sweetest when you can live your lives in harmony at most with the both of you. Conformity to common norms as perceived by others would mean nothing more than a facade of happiness that others would only find ideal in.  Your happiness is what is most important.  Living your life being honest to your true self, feelings, and emotions would make others admire you..... regards! tadon...

this is a question to you yanks out there. do you really understand the game of soccer. i no you try to play?

I'm not a Yank - just north - Canadian.  The game is really taking off here.  Both my kids are playing competitive soccer and loving it.  My son quit hockey to focus on soccer all year - smart kid.  It's a great game and for all the people who think it's boring, it is because they don't understand the subtleties of the game.  A lot of people find baseball boring but only if they don't see all the little things going on.  Soccer (football) is full of so many skilled moves that casual viewers miss - especially the European and South American players.  The World Cup is going to be awesome.  Go England (until my son leads Canada to the Cup in about 2018).


Is it true that the moon is drifting away from the Earth?

Yes, the radius of the moon's orbit is currently increasing by about 3.8 cm (about 1.5 inches) every year.  This happens because the moon raises tides on the Earth.  Because the Earth rotates faster than the moon orbits the Earth, the tidal "bulge" of the Earth on the side nearest the moon actually leads, or is in front of, the position of the moon in its orbit (see diagrams in sources given below). That "extra" mass of the Earth's tidal bulge acts to accelerate the moon in its orbit, increasing its angular momentum, and causing the moon's orbit to "spiral out" over time.  Because the angular momentum of the Earth-moon system must be conserved, the Earth's angular momentum must decrease to balance the increase in the moon's momentum, slowing the Earth's rotation rate by a bit (currently, about 15 microseconds/year).  \n\nThese rates have changed over geologic time because the position of the tidal bulge relative to the line connecting the Earth and moon depends on, among other things, the arrangement of continents and oceans on Earth.  These affect the friction affecting the tidal bulge, and therefore its velocity relative to the Earth's rotational velocity.\n\nThe energy of the Earth-moon system must also be conserved, and because the moon gets further from the Earth, its potential energy increases.  Consequently, it's kinetic energy must decrease by an amount exactly equal to the increase in potential energy.  Because the kinetic energy of the moon (or any other object) is proportional to the square of the velocity, the moon's velocity in its orbit is decreasing.\n\nThis process will continue until the moon's orbital period and the Earth's rotational period are equal, at which point the moon and Earth will be "tidally locked", with the same side of each body facing the other body at all times.\n\nThe story doesn't stop here, though.  The Earth-moon system loses angular momentum to the (Earth/moon)-sun system, resulting in an increase in the distance of the center of mass of the Earth+moon from the sun.  This is occurring today, but is a much smaller effect than the lunar tidal effect discussed above.  Once the Earth and moon are tidally locked, though, it will become the dominant effect. As a consequence, the moon's orbital radius will slowly *decrease* until the moon gets somewhere within the Roche limit, at which point (assuming the sun has not become a red giant and expanded beyond the orbit of the Earth by then!) the moon will break apart, most likely forming a ring system around the Earth.\n\nThe Roche limit is the distance from a parent body at which the difference between the gravitational force on a a satellite's near side and a satellite's far side exceeds the gravitational self attraction of the satellite.  Because the moon is made of rock, it has some cohesive strength (i.e., the moon is not just held together by self-gravitation) that will allow it to come within the true Roche limit before being disrupted.


Why do some women pee when they sneeze, cough, or laugh hard?

well...I think that`s because when you sneeze, cough or laugh hard...your diaphragm contracts and the body is concentrated very hard on that muscle.When you cough..sneeze etc. you blow out CO2 and your body tries to get rid of it with the help of every space that leads from your body outside your body, for example : when you sneeze you have tears coming out of your eyes...that`s because it`s a sensitive tissue that produces water and has to get out fast from your body in case of emergency ... like crying(because of the nerves that must relax), laughing hard etc... I hope the answer helps..and you also must consider the answer above...with the weak muscles


How did the community of Dalton, GA get its name?

1847 is a pivotal year for the citizens of Cross Plains. In honor of founder Edward Dalton White the city changes the name to Dalton. That same year the Western and Atlantic Railroad is completed to the small town. Its location near the railroad would greatly affect the destiny of this north Georgia town.

When someone pull hi/her eye lashes out, is that considered a mental disorder?

Yes... actually it can be a COMPULSIVE DISORDER... and it could either be something called Alopecia, OR something called Trichotillomania. Check out "Hair Loss... Causes and Treatments" at www.webmd.com\n\nI agree with "Perplexed" to an extent. The first thing they did was put my 9 year old on antidepressants. And though it HAS helped in her twisting on her hair (I do not see her doing this anymore and there IS new hair growth thank God!) it HAS caused her to become more irritable and moody, which was bad before, but WORSE since on the medication. They say that Trichotillomania is brought on by anxiety, and apparently it has made hers worse... not neccesarily the anxiety, but, the mood swings. Behavioral Therapy, catching yourself when your doing it and becoming more aware of it, can help a lot.

PCR involves\na) marking a region of DNA with borders (also called primers), say A and B, and then\nb) amplifying the DNA flanked by these primers. \n\nFor DNA finger printing, the A and B are chosen such that the, region between them varies in length across individuals. This is because certain elements (i.e., stretches of nucleotides) present between the A and B vary in their number. So, when PCR is performed, the product length varies depending on the template DNA taken from different individuals. \n\nBy the electrophoresis technique, the PCR products of different length can be visualized and one can detect the differences between the individuals. Thus, the VNTR (variable number of tandem repeats) among individuals is the basis of DNA finger printing by PCR.


In what ways was the Pantheon designed to honor the gods?

whoa, I gotta think way back to answer this. Without looking anything up, I just remember that the Pantheon was a large domed building that honored each of the Gods of Roman Mythology by depicting them in big ovals all around the inside ceiling of the building. I think there was something about their placement, like Zeus & Hera were positioned in the middle with his next god of choice to his right & left and ...cannot remember all the significance. Wish I could remember more. Good luck!


Which is the best hockey city in America?

Buffalo, home of my Buffalo Sabres, is by far the best hockey town in the US! (I'm glad you excluded Canadian cities from this question as they would likely grab the top six spots on any legitimate "best of" list -- the game was invented there and they know it like no other fans around.) Sabres fans, which usually include a generous sprinkling of Ontario residents from across the border (and, as a tip of the cap to our Amerks friend above, Rochester natives who make the 90-minute drive to catch the Sabres), are very knowledgeable about the game and classy in their treatment of both the home team and the visiting team.\n\nThe worst hockey city, by far, indeed, the worst city in the world is philadelphia (aka philistinia). They are the most classless and despicable breed of "fans" in existence. They hurl abuse -- and anything else they can get their drunken mitts on -- at their own team as well as any team (or its fans) unfortunate enough to visit their hideous city. Ironically, it is known as the "city of brotherly love," when all it ever demonstrates is the ugliest form of hatred. Utterly loathsome people.\n\nYou're very welcome, Moon, and again, thank you for asking! :)


where can I get rates for money market accounts?

Money market account rates can change daily, weekly, monthly - depending on the institution. I have a link to bankrate, which list 'a lot' of them.\n\nUnderstand it is NOT a complete list, but it is good for an idea, what banks/financial institutions are paying.\n\nCurrently HSBC Direct is paying 4.5% for their on line savings account - you may find this is more than many money market accounts.\n\nBeing a savings account, means there are limits as to the amount of times you can withdraw funds each month. You can make as many over the counter withdrawls as you like each month, but only 3 electronic.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nPS. Consider the rate, but also consider convenience, and an account that works the way you need it to.


Here's a little part of US history which makes you sit up and go h-m-m-m-m-m-m-m............ \n\nAbraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. \nJohn F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. \n\nAbraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. \nJohn F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. \n\nThe names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters. \n\nBoth were particularly concerned with civil rights. \nBoth wives lost children while living in the White House. \n\nBoth Presidents were shot on a Friday \nBoth Presidents were shot in the head. \n\nLincoln's secretary was named Kennedy. \nKennedy's secretary was named Lincoln. \n\nBoth were assassinated by Southerners \nBoth were succeeded by Southerners. \n\nBoth successors were named Johnson. \n\nAndrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. \nLyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. \n\nJohn Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839. \nLee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939. \n\nBoth assassins were known by their three names. \nBoth names are comprised of fifteen letters. \n\nLincoln was shot at the theater named "Kennedy". \nKennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln". \n\nBooth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse. \nOswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater. \n\nBooth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials. \n\nAnd here's the kicker.... \n\nA week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland. \nA week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.


Knock yourself out with Benadryl or store-brand equivalent. Nothing helps sickness better than rest, and if you're running around all day, it'll take longer to recover. Trust me, I take only one day off when I'm sick to sleep most of the day, and I'm better the next morning! But if you take the Benadryl, it'll stop the nose issues as well as the headache and since your nose won't be runny, your cough will diminish because your throat won't be as aggravated by muscus. Good luck!

Dear Muslims, will you tell me why this happened to me in a Muslim home?

Hi,\nI'm glad to get the opportunity to help you understand this situation.\n\nWhat happened to you is indeed very strange, from the books offered, the itch, the sore and the whole rest ot it.\n\nThe question here is: What does that person has to do with Islam? what does his reaction has to do too? As well as his behaviour to you and the kids? \n\nI studied Islam as a subject and can tell you that you have been very unfortunate to fall on a person that showed you a wrong image of a great religion.\n\nYour case is just one that could also happen to a muslim while visiting a christian family, isn't it?\n\nIslam is nothing of what you saw and heard!\n\nIt's very unfortunate when a person without or with only a little Islamic academic background try to call people to conversion...\n\nWould you care to read the following:\n\nFr. Theodore Pulcini, a priest of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, is Assistant Professor of Religion at Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA 17013. His articles have appeared in Diakonia, The Journal of Ecumenical Studies, Church Divinity, Commonweal, and St. Vladimir's Theological Quarterly. His essay is reprinted from New Theology Review. \n\n\nMuslims now constitute a significant minority in Western countries, most notably France, Britain, Germany, Canada, and the United States. Consequently, those in the West engaged in theological discourse and pastoral work can no longer consign Islam to the outer limits of their universe of religious concerns. Islam is no longer just "over there," an exotic feature of distant cultures; it is a well-established component of our own religious landscape and deserves attention from all who work to further the Reign of God in our culture. \nHaving taught courses in Islamic civilization as part of the religious studies curriculum at both secular and church-related institutions, I can give ample testimony to the antagonistic images of Islam obtaining in, and actively perpetuated by, many Western circles. In some cases, it is alarmism that fuels the antagonism ("Muslims are taking over the world!"); in others, the indignation of post-modern Westerners who resent the very existence of a powerful religious tradition which seems to foster "unenlightened" values ("Islam is intolerant, it oppresses women, etc."). It is a situation fraught with the real possibility of bigotry and violence.\n\nAs "people of religion," we can be particularly effective in shaping religious sentiment toward Muslims in our society. We can either stoke the fires of antagonism, feeding into the dominant societal trend of "demonizing" Islam and Muslims; or we can fight those fires, challenging people to come to a well-informed, balanced appreciation of this "other" in our midst. Most of us, I assume, would affirm the desirability of the latter option. I would like to offer a few suggestions as to how that option might be realized.\n\nFirst, expose the caricatures -- both our own and those of others. Such caricatures are usually based on the assumption that Islam is monolithic and that Muslim communities are homogeneous. Both assumptions are false. Just as there are many "Christianities," there are many "Islams" and most have very little to do with "Islamism," that militant, extremist fringe of Islam which, despite its claim to "traditionalism," actually violates such perennial Islamic values as tolerance, forbearance, hospitality, and broad-mindedness. A number of excellent resources can help you in this process -- see the attached reading list. All the recommended authors are Christians who have done much to dispel the rampant misinformation concerning Islam.\n\nSecond, reflect on what underlies our tendency to caricature Islam. Many in the Christian world have thrown themselves headlong into the process of challenging the traditional shape of our society an

I'm really scared to insert tampons and towels are such a pain. Any tips on how to insert one?

Right, lock urslef in the bathroom with no interuptions and plenty of time. Not a time to be rushing. Now, use one of the applicator tampons as it's easier. Put on foot up on the side of the bath and one foot on the floor. Reach down and put the tampon applicator in the vagina about one inch. Then use the applicator to push it in. \n\nBest to start with the smallest ones and keep it in for a shorter time. If at first u don't succeed try try again. No'one is judging u and they wont know if u get it forst tiem or not.

What did John say in his gospel concerning the two Resurrections?

Jesus Christ is spoken of as “the first to be resurrected from the dead.” (Acts 26:23) This means that he was the first to be resurrected of those who would not have to die again. Also, he was the first to be raised as a spirit person. (1 Peter 3:18) But the Bible tells us that there would be others, saying: “Each one in his own rank: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who belong to the Christ during his presence.” (1 Corinthians 15:20-23) So in the resurrection some would be raised up before certain others.\n\n “Those who belong to the Christ” are the 144,000 faithful disciples chosen to rule with him in the Kingdom. Of their heavenly resurrection, the Bible says: “Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will, rule as kings with him for the thousand years.”\n\nThe very expression “first resurrection” shows that another one will follow. This is the resurrection to life on the paradise earth of both righteous and unrighteous persons. This will occur after Armageddon. It will be a “better resurrection” than that of the boys resurrected by Elijah and Elisha and of others once resurrected on earth. Why? Because if those resurrected after Armageddon choose to serve God they will never need to die again.—Hebrews 11:35.\n\nEarthly Resurrection.\nWhile Jesus was hanging on a stake, one of the evildoers alongside him, observing that Jesus was not deserving of punishment, requested: “Jesus, remember me when you get into your kingdom.” Jesus replied: “Truly I tell you today, You will be with me in Paradise.  \n\nThis would require a resurrection for the evildoer. This man was not a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. He had been engaged in wrongdoing, lawbreaking meriting the death penalty. (Lu 23:40, 41) Therefore, he could not hope to be one of those receiving the first resurrection. Additionally, he died 40 days before Jesus ascended into heaven and hence before Pentecost, which was 10 days after that ascension, when God through Jesus anointed the first members of those who will receive the heavenly resurrection.\n\nThe evildoer, Jesus said, would be in Paradise. The word means “a park or pleasure ground.” The Septuagint rendered the Hebrew word for “garden” (gan), as at Genesis 2:8, by the Greek word pa·ra′dei·sos. The paradise in which the evildoer will be would not be “the paradise of God” promised to “him that conquers,” at Revelation 2:7, for the evildoer was not a conqueror of the world with Jesus Christ. (Joh 16:33) The evildoer would therefore not be in the heavenly Kingdom as a member of it (Lu 22:28-30) but would be a subject of the Kingdom when those of “the first resurrection” would, as kings of God and Christ, sit on thrones, ruling with Christ for a thousand years.—Re 20:4, 6.

Is it a Christian practice to not eat "bottom feeders"?  Why?

In Acts 10, God lowers a sheet down in front of Peter, in the sheet is all sorts of animals, clean and unclean, God tells Peter to kill and eat them... Peter tells God he has never eaten unclean meat and God tells Peter "Everything I have created is clean" and Paul also teaches us that no food is unclean in and of itself but if someone feels something is unclean, then to them it is and we shouldnt offend them. Basically eat what you want, Jesus said its not what goes into our bodies that makes us unclean but what comes out of the heart. I think thats all the Bible needs to say in answer to the question.

child support services took too much money from me now I have credit, how can I get that money back?

Yeah, these people are right.  If the money has been paid to family court already, it will stay on your account and go towards any future balance.\n\nIf they garnished your income tax check, though, you will receive a refund.  It may take several weeks.  But not if it is part of a regular paycheck garnishment.


How do you get a "bench warrant" retracted?

A bench warrant is the same as an FTA (Failure to Appear) and it is good in all states. If you get pulled over and they run you it will show up and chances are you will be arrested on it. The place where the warrant was issued then has the option of whether or not to extridite.... depending on what the original charge was, this is typically unlikely, unless the original charge was something rough. You will need to turn yourself in somewhere to get the process started to handle it... in most cases the municipality or county justs wants the money that is owed.

I think religions are the means people use to try to connect to God or a higher power or some sort of original state from which they feel separated. All religions hold elements of truth, but because the teachings come through people, they are going to be influenced by the personality, experiences, culture, etc. of the person. I think lots of people get revelations or insights from a higher power, although not everyone feels compelled to shout them from the mountaintop. The wisest religious people I know are humble about what they know and open to achieving deeper understanding. If God is omnipresent and omniscient, how can we possibly think we know everything there is to know about Him/Her/Whatever? Like the blind men and the elephant, we get hold of one part and think we know the whole creature. When we start to appreciate what is universal in all religions and in all people, we begin to get a glimmer of real truth.

do u think th island in LOST is a supernatural place in hurley's mind or is it a place between life n death?

What is great about Lost is there is soo many different things that could be going on, I LOVE IT!  I think it all could have been wrapped up and have been Hurleys crazy mind, but I dont think that the writer's are going in that direction... I tend to think that the whole island is some type of an expiriment.  See how all these different people interact, how they survive, will they sit in a hatch and push a button every 108 minutes, ect... But ya know I am probably wrong and have absolutly no clue whats really going on, Ill just keep on watching to find out!


I have several Iranian friends. I find them all to be genuine, helpful, friendly, honest and lovely people. And all of them are happy not to be living under the present Iranian administration.\n\nIran has always historically been an important power and, next to China, it has arguably the oldest continuous classical culture in the world. One day they will be able to take their due place in the international arena as a great nation with much to contribute.\n\nOf course, they'll have to change their government before that can happen.


HAHAHAHA You all forgot about our little friend called drag! Inside or out the ball has a drag force acting on it by the surrounding air. Like stated before the air in the car is moving with you, and the car, and the ball all the same and the drag force on the ball at this point is negligible. This is not the effect of a vacume, a vacume is the absence of air. is it possible for there to be no air in the car? NO, Sooo.. outside on a bike or where ever, you are traveling at a speed where the balls light weight will be significantly affected by this drag force and it will cause it to slow down as you throw it up and while you keep riding on un affected by the static(motionless) air, your ball only has one force acting on it, air drag causing it to slow behind you.   test this by throwing a variety of same shaped objects while riding and you will see that the one with the most density will keep up the best. try a marble V.S. a ping pong ball.  then do it in the car

do long distance relationships ever work?

of course it can work. it just depends on the commitment and love and trust, just like any in-person relationship. in a way, the long-distance has the benefit of not having to deal with the daily in-person details that sometimes weight relationships down.\n\nmy husband and i maintained a long-distance relationship for more than two years before our situations allowed us to be together.\n\ntalk about it.


what punishments did the victorian children get?

Cane \nTeachers handed out regular canings. Look inside the “punishment book” that every school kept, and you will see many reasons for these beatings: rude conduct, leaving the playground without permission, sulkiness, answering back, missing Sunday prayers, throwing ink pellets and being late. Boys were caned across their bottoms, and girls across their hands or bare legs. Some teachers broke canes with their fury, and kept birch rods in jars of water to make them more supple. Victims had to chose which cane they wished to be beaten with! \n\nDunce's Cap \nPunishment did not end with caning. Students had to stand on a stool at the back of the class, wearing an arm band with DUNCE written on it. The teacher then took a tall, cone-shaped hat decorated with a large “D”, and placed it on the boys head. Today we know that some children learn more slowly than others. Victorian teachers believed that all children could learn at the same speed, and if some fell behind then they should be punished for not trying hard enough. \n\nSee all about it in\nhttp://www.nettlesworth.durham.sch.uk/time/victorian/vschool.html


If God is real and I am saved then why am I so miserable and why is my life so horrible?

Being saved does not erase our pain or promise us freedom from pain in the future... it saves us from our sins. Our relationship with God can truly help us heal through prayer, but He does expect us to do all we can for ourselves, and in your case, that would be some major therapy.\n\nGod does not hate you, He loves you and when you are unjustly hurt, He is hurt as well. He has given us a way to be with Him one day, and until that time, we have free will and are subject to the free will of others. He does not stop all the people who do evil  now, but instead is waiting for judgment day. Why would he do that?\n\nWell, consider this... If He were declare to all the earth, "At noon tomorrow, I will destroy anyone who has done evil (anyone who has sinned)"... who would be left at 12:01? I wouldn't, you wouldn't, none of us would. Also, would it really be fair of Him to destroy all the people who have not found Him, but might have had they had more time?\n\nI know what you are going through and what you have gone through is horrible. But remember that He does love you, and He does care. One day, your fight will be over, and because you knew His truth and were saved, you will see that the seventy (give or take) years you spent here will be repaid with an ETERNITY of perfect happiness. Get as close to Him as you can. Talk to Him about what you go through. Ask Him to heal you, to let your therapy be exactly what you need, and have faith that it will be. God bless you, sweetheart.

I like a work colleague. We get along alright. The only thing is I'm gay and he isn't. What should I do?

I guess I'm missing something. You want to tell him? You want to hang out with him? You just don't hang out with straight people? Or co-workers? You're 18 and a lot of your friends are going to come from work, school, neighbors or parties. It's a fact. If you consider him a co-worker with no friend potential, nothing to worry about. You two have a lot in common already with your work situation. If you have a chance at a freind, don't turn it down. Everybody can handle one more friend.

HTML genius...What does it means?What is OSX?

HTML stands for "Hypertext Markup Language" it's the basis for coding a website. You have to have good knowledge of HTML to start making a website. Then later with more experience you can get into PHP and all that fancy stuff.\n\nFor the Notepad stuff it means if your OS (operating system) is Windows, then use Notepad to do the HTML coding.\n\nOSX is an operating systems used for Mac computers. You wont be able to code HTML is Text Edit if you have it in Rich Text, since that's for typing documents and stuff (like Microsoft Word, but not as fancy)


Why do oriental people have slitted eyes?

An epicanthal fold, epicanthic fold or epicanthus is a skin fold of the upper eyelid (from the nose to the inner side of the eyebrow) covering the inner corner (medial canthus) of the human eye. This fold covers and appears to lower the inner corners of the eyes, creating the appearance of "slanted eyes." It is commonly known amongst Asians as "single-eyelids", as opposed to "double eyelids".\n\nThe occurrence of the epicanthic fold is believed to be an evolutionary defense against both the extreme cold as well as the extreme light that occurs in the Eurasian arctic and north. A few have opted to have them minimized by blepharoplasty. Epicanthal folds may also be seen in young children of any race before the bridge of the nose begins to elevate.\n\nThe distribution of epicanthal folds is numerous. It can also be found in significant numbers amongst Native Americans, the Khoisan of Southern Africa, many Central Asians and some people of Sami origin. The presence of epicanthal folds is normal in people of many, though not all, groups of East Asian and Southeast Asian descent. It also occurs sometimes on people of South Asian descent. Children of a parent with a pronounced epicanthal fold and one without an epicanthal fold will have varying degrees of epicanthal folds as a result. Epicanthal folds are also common in people with Down syndrome.

How are many circular saw motors rated instead of using a horsepower rating?

If you know how many watts the motor can provide then dividing that by 746 will give you horsepower.\n\nThe Amperes and knowing the supply (ie. 220V) can give you horsepower since amps times volts gives watts.\n\nThings get complicated if these readings are not a measure taken just before the point of stalling the motor with a load on the motor to induce it's full power output.

what do you think about feminism ? did it really help in a way women history ?

Give anyone more rights and they will undoubtedly take them to the extremes in the way of how they represent not only the law but also the generosity of ignorance within many others.  \n\nWomen were once glorified for being housewives and they could be beautiful as well as appreciated.  In todays standards some judge women as lazy for being wives and mothers without the new career standing behind their names, usually hyphoned before their husbands in these modern times.\n\nSo many women have lost a part of themselves trying to have it all and live up to what womens liberations says they deserve...it isn't about how much you put behind your name but rather what you can put forth in life.  A woman should be able to express herself with class and be adhered to as a woman and not judged for her open views let alone her sensuality.  And sensuality is a very natural instinct within a woman as is sexuality no different than in a man.\n\nToo often women try to be accepted within the guidelines society has set for them, it isn't who we were born to be but who we are expected to be in todays society.  A woman who can think for herself and stands with truth in her beliefs is a lady ...


7.25pm on a weekend or even a weekday is reasonable time.\n\nYes, you may blast off before the no-noise time, IF YOU'RE JUST ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS.\n\nBut the problem for your lady neighbour may not be about the time you play your music, and neither is it about your rights.  \n\nA sensitive person would think, - my taste of music may not be another person's.  For lateral argument sake, how would you like her to play her boring ethnic classical music on the same volume as you played yours on your woofer?\nAnd you hate that type of music, but you know she has her right as it is still early.  Wouldn't you have WISHED that she was more sensitive to your feelings, THAN just be concerned about her RIGHTS?\n\nWouldn't you have wished that she puts her civic consciousness and neighbourly thoughts to the fact that her music may not be to your liking.?\n\nIf we would all think about others and feel how we would feel in situations, INSTEAD OF DEMANDING OUR RIGHTS, our neighbourhood would be a lovelier and more peaceful place to be in.\n\nOur human RIGHTS have actually been overly used without much consideration for harmony, inter-relationship and empathy. \n\nIt is not the address that makes the neighbour, it is the people in it.  \n\nI rather live in a less prestigious neighbourhood with nice and thoughtful neighbours than in an up-market neighbourhood where Human Rights have gone overboard.\n\nYour kids are away, so you can let your hair down so to speak, - well & good, enjoy that time to yourself.

That's your choice.  But it is insensitive to put people through your personal agenda.


Is methane identical to liquid propane? If so, how would I condense the gas to a liquid form?

Methane is a signle atom of carbon surrounded by four hydrogen atoms (CH4). Propane is a linear string of 3 carbon atoms, each surrounded by hydrogen atoms (C3H8). So no, they are not the same. Methane is also know as natural gas. Methane burns extremely clean, producing carbon dioxide and water. Propane doesn't burn as cleanly and commercialy available propane is a mixture of gases, with mercaptans added for odor detection. Gasoline vehicles cannot easily be converted to run on either. The entire fuel system, including tank, pump, lines and injectors must be replaced with new parts. It could cost anywhere between $5,000 and $8,000 (US).

As soon as a living organism dies, it stops taking in new carbon. The ratio of carbon-12 to carbon-14 at the moment of death is the same as every other living thing, but the carbon-14 decays and is not replaced. The carbon-14 decays with its half-life of 5,700 years, while the amount of carbon-12 remains constant in the sample. By looking at the ratio of carbon-12 to carbon-14 in the sample and comparing it to the ratio in a living organism, it is possible to determine the age of a formerly living thing fairly precisely. \nA formula to calculate how old a sample is by carbon-14 dating is: \n\n\nt = [ ln (Nf/No) / (-0.693) ] x t1/2 \nwhere ln is the natural logarithm, Nf/No is the percent of carbon-14 in the sample compared to the amount in living tissue, and t1/2 is the half-life of carbon-14 (5,700 years). \n\nSo, if you had a fossil that had 10 percent carbon-14 compared to a living sample, then that fossil would be: \n\n\nt = [ ln (0.10) / (-0.693) ] x 5,700 years \nt = [ (-2.303) / (-0.693) ] x 5,700 years \n\nt = [ 3.323 ] x 5,700 years \n\nt = 18,940 years old \n\nBecause the half-life of carbon-14 is 5,700 years, it is only reliable for dating objects up to about 60,000 years old. However, the principle of carbon-14 dating applies to other isotopes as well. Potassium-40 is another radioactive element naturally found in your body and has a half-life of 1.3 billion years. Other useful radioisotopes for radioactive dating include Uranium -235 (half-life = 704 million years), Uranium -238 (half-life = 4.5 billion years), Thorium-232 (half-life = 14 billion years) and Rubidium-87 (half-life = 49 billion years).

The financial information (like acct numbers) stays with PayPal.\nIf the payment is linked to an e-auction (like ebay), then Paypal keeps the money in escrow for you to feel safe that money won't be paid until you receive your item, and the seller is confortable too because they know that money has already been withdraw from your acct and is in Paypal's escrow


spacetime is a medium inside which all matter and energy exist (i.e substances)   .  there is no substance to spacetime... substances exist IN spacetime.  spacetime is just a word. it exists but it is not for us visualize or touch or feel or do anything with.  you can call it whatever you want - the holder of things that are not spacetime themselves.  you dont need to see things for them to exist. they exist to give form to your understanding.   your mind can always form new questions by arranging letters into different configurations.  dont let it distract you.   it is like the question of what is outside spacetime ?   we can call it hyperspacetime.  it is defined as that which contains spacetime.  you cannot ask what is the substance of spacetime.  it is almost as meaningless a question as asking what does the sky taste like ?

why is Roger Federer so invincible? his natural talent? his speed? his anticipation or....?

I agree that he has a great forehand and a good serve, although his certainly is not the best serve around. What makes him so good is that he has the whole package--something that no other pro in recent memory can claim. \nIn addition to his forehand and serve, his backhand is exceptional, his volleys are as good as anyone's, and his strategic sense is among the best.\nFinally, he is one of the best players I have ever seen at reading the opponent's shots and getting to them with speed and balance. I don't know if he is the fastest pro when it comes to sheer footspeed, but no one moves as fluidly and quickly to the ball.\nHe's not quite invincible, but he is clearly the best player the world has ever seen.

Where can I go to find out how much an old Packard Bell desktop is worth?

For any PC, take the price of it when it was new and halve it for every eight months since.  \n\nFor example, you bought a new PC two years ago for $2000: \n\n(((2000/2)/2)/2) = 2000/8 = $250\n\nUnless you upgraded parts, you'll be lucky to get that much for it, especially since XP was designed to make anything pre-2002 useless.

Is it normal to hate your sister so much?

Your dad passed away already, and the bible states that he will be resurrected...so there is hope to see him again.  But now, since you and your sisters are the only family member that need to look for each other, I think that you should forgive her whatever she did with your dad, remember that he is already dead....let him go.  Try to live well between you all for the best of you all...if I ask you: Do you love God, probably you would say:"Yes". That would make a lier, because if you can love God whom you cannot see, how come you don't love your sister, and forgive her, even though you see her....19 Know this, my beloved brothers. Every man must be swift about hearing, slow about speaking, slow about wrath; 20 for man’s wrath does not work out God’s righteousness. 21 Hence put away all filthiness and that superfluous thing, badness, and accept with mildness the implanting of the word which is able to save YOUR souls. \n\n22 However, become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves with false reasoning. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, this one is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself, and off he goes and immediately forgets what sort of man he is. 25 But he who peers into the perfect law that belongs to freedom and who persists in [it], this [man], because he has become, not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, will be happy in his doing [it]. \n\n26 If any man seems to himself to be a formal worshiper and yet does not bridle his tongue, but goes on deceiving his own heart, this man’s form of worship is futile. 27 The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world. 11 Quit speaking against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother speaks against law and judges law. Now if you judge law, you are, not a doer of law, but a judge. 12 One there is that is lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But you, who are you to be judging [your] neighbor?

How is Easter celebrated around the world,?

Mostly the same way becuase everyone who celebrates easter in celebrating a christian holiday.  The only difference could be is food.  But most people do about the same thing.  Boil eggs, color them, eat the, eat candy, get new clothes, dress up easter sunday, go to church, be with the family.


how can i learn algebra even if tutoring and studying doesnt help please help me?

I was in your shoes once. My brain just doesn't work math the way I was taught it. Are you using the same teacher/tutor or do your teacher and tutor use the same style of teaching? Perhaps trying a new tutor, or getting someone else to work with you will help. I have noticed that not everyone's mind works in the same way. I struggled with math/algebra for years only to later in life have someone else explain it to me and it clicked right away. If someone can present it to you in a way your brain understands, perhaps it will make sense and you will start to do better.\n\nGood luck.


On average, what percentage does a movie theatre box office profit from ticket sales per screening/per ticket?

The average won't really help you as most distribution deals are made with national theatre chains. That said, studio pictures tend to split the box office 70/30 (70% distributor, 30% exhibitor) while major event pictures (like Star Wars Ep. III) keeping up in the low to mid eighties. Independent Films have significantly less leverage and end up with closer to 50/50 deals with the exhibitors. Exhibitors get even bigger cuts on revived classics where they just pay a flat fee (say $500) to show cult classics (usually at midnight) and then keep the box office.\n\nExhibitors keep 100% of concessions.\n\nThe Theatre business is a horrible business to be getting into at this point though. The transition to home entertainment is forcing theatres out of business. The big boys have it down to a super-efficient science that it is nearly impossible for a single house to compete.\n\nIf you are going into the business you will definitely need some kind of a super-sweet gimmick, like "Tarantino personally curates all movies" or something like that. That or a liquor license.\n\nEmail me if you want more info.

When did being an elected offical become a job and not a privledge?

By the people is a lie.  The preamble to the US Constitution says, "We, the people, hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal.\n\nNice start, but they didn't really mean it.\n\nThere is no written exclusion for Indians, but they were the first race of people where genocide was applied by means of lies and myths.\n\nOf course the African Slaves weren't equal either.  Washington and Jefferson and many other prominent people had slaves and kept them until after the civil war.  The White House was built by slaves.  Since then they have been discriminated against and held down by the establishment.  I am not an African, but their plight is clearly outlined by history.\n\nThe point is, the rich and well born do and have always controlled the common man.  Every nation of the earth reveals the same situation.  This is how it is and this is how it will stay.  Just don't deceive yourselves, "We the people," have nothing at all to do with it.  Voting is a means of deceiving people into thinking they do, so how come there are only 2 parties, and most of their candidates are wealthy.  All of them are controlled by the same big money now as they were then.  Just live with it and keep your eyes open.

how to advertise for rent a car company in egypt?

It depend on your target.\nIf it is for tourist, then you need to have advertising in tourist web sites, travelling magazines, brochure to travel agency, billboard in airport etc.\nIf that is for local people, it depend on short term (day lease), long term (yearly lease) or those moving truck.\nShort term usually target to those young new drivers. Hand out advertising material around schools, colleges to students.\nLong term probably need to advertising in mass media such as newspaper, tv, radio etc.

The power factor of an AC electric power system is defined as the ratio of the real power to the apparent power.\n\nExplanation\n\nIn a purely resistive AC circuit, voltage and current waveforms are in step, changing polarity at the same instant in each cycle. Where reactive loads are present, such as capacitors or inductors, energy storage in the loads result in a time difference between the current and voltage waveforms. Since this stored energy returns to the source and is not available to do work at the load, a circuit with a low power factor will have higher currents to transfer a given quantity of power than a circuit with a high power factor.\n\nReal power is the capacity of the circuit for performing work in a particular time. Due to reactive elements of the load, the apparent power, which is the product of the voltage and current in the circuit, will be equal to or greater than the real power. The reactive power is a measure of the stored energy that is reflected to the source during each alternating current cycle.\n\nAC power flow has the three components: real power (P), measured in watts (W); apparent power (S), measured in volt-amperes (VA); and reactive power (Q), measured in reactive volt-amperes (VAr).\n\nThe power factor can be expressed as:\nP/S\nIn the case of a perfectly sinusoidal waveform, P, Q and S can be expressed as vectors that form a vector triangle such that:\nS*S=P*P+Q*Q\n\nBy definition, the power factor is a dimensionless number between 0 and 1. When power factor is equal to 0, the energy flow is entirely reactive, and stored energy in the load returns to the source on each cycle. When the power factor is 1, all the energy supplied by the source is consumed by the load. Power factors are usually stated as "leading" or "lagging" to show the sign of the phase angle.\n\nThe power factor is determined by the type of loads connected to the power system. These can be\n\nResistive \nInductive \nCapacitive \nIf a purely resistive load is connected to a power supply, current and voltage will change polarity in phase, the power factor will be unity (1), and the electrical energy flows in a single direction across the network in each cycle. Inductive loads such as transformers and motors (any type of wound coil) generate reactive power with current waveform lagging the voltage. Capacitive loads such as capacitor banks or buried cable generate reactive power with current phase leading the voltage. Both types of loads will absorb energy during part of the AC cycle, only to send this energy back to the source during the rest of the cycle.\n\nFor example, to get 1 kW of real power if the power factor is unity, 1 kVA of apparent power needs to be transferred (1 kVA = 1 kW × 1). At low values of power factor, more apparent power needs to be transferred to get the same real power. To get 1 kW of real power at 0.2 power factor 5 kVA of apparent power needs to be transferred (1 kW = 5 kVA × 0.2).\n\nIt is often possible to adjust the power factor of a system to very near unity. This practice is known as power factor correction and is achieved by switching in or out banks of inductors or capacitors. For example the inductive effect of motor loads may be offset by locally connected capacitors.\n\nEnergy losses in transmission lines increase with increasing current. Where a load has a power factor lower than 1, more current is required to deliver the same amount of useful energy. Power companies therefore require that customers, especially those with large loads, maintain the power factors of their respective loads within specified limits or be subject to additional charges. Engineers are often interested in the power factor of a load as one of the factors that affect the efficiency of power transmission.\n\n\nNon-sinusoidal components\n\n\nIn circuits having only sinusoidal currents and voltages, the power factor effect arises only from the difference in phase between the current and voltage.

I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this. \n\nI plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way? \n\nPlease let him know that I will be expecting the following: \n1. Free medical care for my entire family. \n\n2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not. \n\n3. All government forms need to be printed in English. \n\n4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers. \n\n5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history. \n\n6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down. \n\n7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch. \n\n8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services. \n\n9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws. \n\n10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English. \n\n11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals. \n\n12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws. \n\n13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy. I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely. However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P. \n\nThank you so much for your kind help. \n\nSincerely, David M. Bresnahan


Does anyone believe that Tom Cruise deserves more respect for his public stance on Ritalin?

I totally agree with Tom that CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE ON RITALIN.  I wish parents and doctors would a grip and realize the children aren't raised properly.  They wouldn't need it if they were.  Another thing, why are doctor's always so persistant to hand out drugs for issues?   Maybe we should treat the issues with the people instead of trying to make it hidden and giving them pills to cope.  I agree!  As far as the scientology thing, I think it is crazy weird and stupid.  He can think what he wants.  He's just another human.

What is the factor and influence of pink mucous membranes?

The mucous membranes are the lubricating membranes lining the internal surfaces of body cavities such as the mouth. Blood vessels running very close the surface of these membranes impart a pink color to them. Some mucous membranes have pigment within them that will prevent observation of the blood vessels underneath. Other mucous membranes that can be used for observation include the internal portion of the lower eyelid, the vulva of a female and the penis of a male. Since the color of the mucous membrane is a reflection of the local blood supply, a change in color can indicate a change in either the amount or composition of the blood flowing through the vessels.

You give a good argument for pro choice, and to me, it's a refreshing one.  I am in agreement with a woman's right to choose but become less committed when the babe becomes a viable age.  I have worked in neo-natal units and clearly see that they are more than a "fetus" at 24 weeks (or less) of gestation. I would like to trust the woman to make a decision that is best for her own well-being, but with consideration of the unborn potential person she has created.  Unfortunately, not all women are so unselfish and generous, and even go so far as to use abortion as a frequent form of birth control, which disgusts me.  I have also had the experience of these same "mothers" not being fit to take care of themselves, let alone a baby, and one with the multiple health concerns that many premature babies must deal with throughout their lives.  This too, consumes the same, or more, of the natural resources you speak of and is also commonly a drain on society's welfare system.  \n\nSo, the debate continues.  Yours is a fresh perspective.  Thank you.


Do you realize what you are capable of doing?  Do you feel empowered?

Yes and no.  It's nice to know that my vote makes a difference, but because of the electoral college and winner-takes-all, it's not a huge difference.


What was the most significant event which shaped your life and why?

Getting saved in church.It made my life change knowing that Jesus died for my sin and that God will forgive me for all sin committed and all in future if i ask for forgiveness in his name. I know someone always loves me and will be there for me throughout my life in good times and in bad. Someone who is never ashamed of me for what i did or thought about doing but lets me know what I could do better and how to go about doing so.

What if one boob is a A cup and the other is a boob?

every girl's boob sizes vary while they're still growing (you stop growing at approx. 22-24 years old), sometimes up to a full cup size, its normal. Most of the time the left breast is larger than the right, so it's nothing to worry about. in the meantime, just stuff the other side of your bras and nobody will notice! lol ;)
