hw does the texas legislature propose to alleviate the states budget deficit?

On the backs of the state employees.  The proper thing to do is to have taxes at an appropriate level that provides for the needed services expected by the residents of Texas.  Many states will cut taxes too low and then have deficits.\n\nTexas will probably cut services and lay off state employees instead of raising taxes to support needed services.


How to view TIFF files in adobe photoshop?

I know of a shareware product that might help. It's called Image2PDF, for Windows.\nhttp://www.ixesoft.com/image2pdf/eg/\n\nIt will convert all of the TIFF embedded images into a multi-paged pdf file, one image per page. You could then open that pdf into Photoshop, which will prompt you to open one page at a time.\n\nIt helped me convert a bunch of multi-image scanned TIFFs into PDFs for a client.\n\nHope it helps


how did the constitution of the united states come about?

The Articles of Confederation weren't working, so our Founding Fathers met in Philadelphia to fix it.  They soon decided that it couldn't be fixed, so they started from scratch and wrote the constitution.  The Constitution then had to be ratified by 3/4 of the states, before it went into affect.  The Constitution is full of compromises on controversial issues.


Is there any non-surgical treatment at all for common eye floaters?

No!...As a middle age man who has had three surgeries in one eye I can sympathize with the discomfort.  I recently consulted with a leading retina specialist for his opinion.\n\nThe only solution if it affects your day to day ability to concentrate and read is two have surgery.\n\nI am very close to going through the surgery which will be a real task as the orgiginal surgery (scaleral buckle surgery) was a bitch and the recovery is 2 to 3 months.

Can I backtrack an e-mail that was forwarded to me to its original source? Source info was removed from text.?

If you don't have the "thread" (routing) info in the body of the email, the only source other source of info is Headers.  I think, in Outlook, you can see them by choosing something like: View > Headers.\nIf the sender just copied some text out of the original e-mail and pasted it into a new e-mail, then sent it to you, the answer is NO.  If your organization uses MS Exchange Server, however, and your IT admin has a lot of time on their hands, you could search the server message logs for the text.  This is probably going way too far to find the answer, though.

OK, here's something to twist your mind..........?

Place the jar up-side down over the ball, so it is enclosed in the jar. Spin the jar around as fast as you can while keeping it down flat on the surface. Centrifugal (centripital?) force will make the ball spin up and into the jar. Either stop spinning the jar after lifting it up over the cup and let the ball fall in or quickly turn the jar right side up again and dump the ball into the cup.


If your babysitting babies how can you make them listen??

Make them laugh.  That always gets a child's attention.  Be silly dance around, play music and make funny faces.  I've had three kids and making things they don't want to listen to fun or funny always worked.  They are 11, 10 and 7 now and it still works...although my oldest will turn her head now so I can't see her laugh. : )

Can eating right before sleeping cause nightmares?

good question, my dad always used to tell me this, here's what happens eating right before sleep causes you to fall into deep sleep very quickly, but here's what happens becuase are asleep so soon after eating, your body has no time to digest the food until you are at a Stage 1 sleeping state, right before you wake up. the dreams you remember all occur in stage one, you essentially ahve hundreds of dreams a night but the only ones htat you remember and see vividly occur at stage one. Stage one therefore is prolonged when eating right before because your body wants to digest while you are resting and it has a lot of food to digest because it hadnt had a chance to digest it earlier

Where are the Libertarians left to right? Many say they are the furthest right. Where do you put them?

Libertarians are to the right when it comes to economics.  When it concerns social issues, usually they are to the left.  They are always taking heat for their drug legalization stance, which I think is a great idea.  It would significantly reduce crime if these substances were to be legalized.  The Netherlands did it, and it has worked out wonderfully for them.

Are Americans too strict, or too lax in their education system?

Six hours is too much. One or two hours reviewing the days lessons, and previewing the next days is enough.  Too much can cause mental shut down.\nYes, I think that the US are getting relaxed in their education requirements.  I work at a community college and the young people coming to us from High School, are not even prepared for entry level English, math or reading.  It's very sad.  Even the children who were in so-called *advanced* classes.  Our community college system is talking about reducing the requirements for entry.  I'm sorry, but I think that we should stick to them, or increase them, and challenge the schools to do better.

why mens like to see leggs in pantyhose?

Men are hardwired to appreciate the beauty of women. Some clothing, accentuates, or brings out those things that attract men. Nylons decrease the appearance of blemishes, however small, improve color, increase the contrast of the leg with the surroundings, ...generally increase the appearance of youthfulness, and perfection (in the original design).  Even the apparent texture of the fabric can be 'attractive'.   All these things draw the eye, then the mind if not held back by something stronger than the will.  If your request is for a solution to resist the urge to stare, find a Godly, understanding friend who is strong in this area, and have him hold you accountable.  Asking God for help in this area is the very best.

Can specific performance be ordered on a BUYER in a real estate transaction?

Depends largely on the state in which this is happening.  In Texas, our real estate contracts spell out that you can lose your earnest money AND be sued for specific performance.  The specific performance on our contract refer to any party backing out, not just the seller.\n\nBear in mind there are things that you can do to get an 'out', but usually these involve option periods, time to finance, etc.\n\nEmail me if you have any further questions.

It was drafted to make slave states happy because California was to be admitted to the Union as a Free State (no slavery).

Not the painkillers, these work differently and do a wonderful job of it without the side effects of others.

What is the typical penalty for hit and run (property only) in North Carolina for first-time offenders?

you cant find answers because there is no set answer.. i am not from north carolina.. but im guessing its the same concept ..\n\nit depends on several factors...\n\n>judge..(above all.. each judge rules differently)\n\n>factors involved...(chemically impared.. etc.)\n\n>amount of damage done...\n\n>demeanor of defendant (image, attire, and attitude--may seem silly but judges DO look at the way people before them are dressed).\n\n>were you coopertive with the police officers who questioned you? (very important)\n\n>prior criminal record.. which you say you dont have.. very helpful.. \n\nMy guess is.. there will be some community service. court fees as well as legal restitution for the damage done.. \n\nbut as previously mentioned.. each judge rules differently .. and I am a law student.. a long way from being a judge..\n\nstates DO however have limitations on maximum penalties and sentences for various crimes.. if you happen to come accross them in your research.. dont be alarmed... rarely will a judge enforce anywhere near the maximum anything.. \n\nive seen a guy with a criminal record a mile long get 120 days in prison with 110 of those days suspended for spitting on 2 police officers.. resisting arrest and assualting a man while holding an infant who was also injured in the assualt.. \n\n\n >>to make my point about voluntary enforcement.. these crimes in my example could have racked up enough years to keep him away for nearly the rest of his life.. provided that all maximums were imposed.. he was in his 20s.. 4 second degree assualts carrying maximum of 10 yrs a piece.. resisting arrest.. maybe 3 or so.. disorderly conduct.. another year or two.. there were a few other minor charges.. cant remember them all.. \n\nyou see my point.. im sorry for straying off topic so much..

Do all types of sex offenders deserve the same 'rejection' from society?

I know here in Florida, the sex offender list contains people that were caught peeing off the side of a boat. It contains 24 year old college student Frat boys that hook up with a 16 year old posing as a college girl at a keg party. Did you know that if a 16 year old girl corners a guy over 18 and touches him, even thru the clothes and without his consent, he could be the one to get arrested? And nothing happens to her. \nBut here in Florida, all these people are put on the SAME Sex Offender list and when the public look it up, they "believe" everyone on the list molested a young child. But this is hardly true. I think there should be a separate list for those that preyed upon children and those that were isolated crimes of happenstance.


can we avoid a nuclear war which will destroy the world?

It really depends how you define "destroy the world" There will be a nuclear war. Most likley in the middle east. I don't think there will be a war that results in the total destruction of man kind.

Like it or not the best way to prevent these type of things is "Peace through superior firepower"

Why (at age 53) when I started to swim in the pool did my face started to break outbreak out?

Couple of things come to mind. 1) pH and/or total alkalinity are out of sorts. Check with a reliable test kit and adjust accordingly. 2) If it is a chlorine pool you may have a sensitivite to chlorine. Lots of people do. Curious, though, that it is only on your face? If you are using sunscreen on your face prior to swimming perhaps it is the sunscreen. Look for something like that, too.

If I log into Yahoo from work, can my IT read my yahoo e-mail just because I used the T-1 line at work?

Yes, they can.  All that they would need is a simple packet sniffing program like etherreal and it will automatically re-assemble the packets, so they could read whatever gets sent over their internet connection.  They could als use a program like cain and abel, which will sniff passwords and usernames.\n\nThey could see anything from the websites you visit (whatever they may be) to programs like outlook and outlook express when you send and receive e-mail.\n\nUnless you are viewing a secure page, indicated by a picture of a padlock in the corner of your browser, anything you do can (and potentially will) be seen by your IT department.\n\nthere are ways around this so that the IT guys wont see whats going on, but it gets a little complicated.\n\nIncluded as sources are 2 links to get email and inernet access without them being able to see you.\n\nFor more information, post another question asking about VPN and how to implement it, or email me at Madh2orat@yahoo.com

This known as a mirage.  Very simply the hot air rising from the desert surface causes light (which travels in straight lines) to be defracted (this means that the line of travel changes when moving from cold air to hot air and vice versa)  This leads to two effects.\n\nFirst is a shimmering on the ground in the middle distance which resembles sunlight glistening in water.\n\nSecondly, objects that are in the far distance can be seen to be closer than they are.\n\nThese effects can be observed on road surfaces in the right conditions during hot summer weather.

I think you have a short term memory loss... is that your question???


I am soo obseesed with the actors in Narnia, I just can't stop thinking about them ,How do u stop this feeling

Eventually you will not have a choice, you will soon be slapped with a restraining order.  Becoming obssesed with a movie, singer, actor or any other type of public figure, is normal if you are under the age of 20. (which, I hope to God you are!) You will get over Narnia and move on to your your next stalking victim soon enough!!!


How can I effictivly learn to survive a streetfight?

you can train and plan all you want but a plan only last till the first moment of execution then it starts slowly falling apart. but any training that you do gives you an advantage. building muscle memory is the most important thing you can do. what is muscle memory, i used to play hacky sack like five hours a day with my friends, then at work if i dropped a knife i would try and hack it. so the simple act of seeing the knife start to fall initiated the action of bringing my foot up to meet it. but it also shows the bad thing about muscle memory itll happen before you can really think about it. get a partner start a martial art/boxing/self defense course, and practise with your partner as much as possible.


It depends on both your rental agreement or lease agreement and the state or country where you are located. There are a few rights and obligations that supercede a rental agreement but the contract is the basic source of those rights for both parties. \n\nFor California (and to a limited extent for other states) I find the best published information at Nolo Press: \nhttp://www.nolo.com/resource.cfm/catID/5944A0DA-71B3-49EA-BF5D300558FB66A9/213/178/\n\nTexas A&M has a good website for Texas: http://recenter.tamu.edu/\n\nOtherwise look for your state department of real estates website and start there. \n\nDisclaimer: I am not a lawyer.

I think my favorite teacher was my ninth grade English teacher, Mr. Felix (yes, that was his last name).\n\nThe very first day of class, we hit it off, because as he was speaking he asked the class an off hand question:  "Who said, 'let them eat cake'?"\n\nThe class sat there silent for a few seconds.  I raised my hand and gestured for me to speak.\n\nWhen I told him the answer, he asked what I name was, and he said.  Good answer.  I'll be watching you.\n\nHe then went on to tell the class about his "non-negotiable zero" policy:  If you had an assignment due on a certain date, and it was not on his desk at the start of class, you got a zero - and it was non-negotiable.  The only excuse for missing the deadline was a death in your family -- YOURS!\n\nI loved it when all the prissy girls (I won't mention what we called them back then) would whine and try to charm Mr. Felix into granting an extension.  He never did.  I respected him a lot for that, because I wasn't one of the people who whine for a grade, and I resented it when girls (well, mostly girls) got away with that.\n\nHis policy got me once though.  He gave an assignment, and it was due a week later.  I procrastinated all week until the day before the due date.  Then I got quite sick.  I blew off the assignment, and missed class the day it was due.\n\nThe next day, when I came in, he asked me if I was feeling better.  Then he asked me where my assignment was.  When I told him I didn't have it, he said "you understand I'm going to give you a zero."\n\nI told him that I understood.\n\nIn giving me a zero, he taught me that I had all week to do the assignment, and an illness on the 6th day was really no excuse.\n\nI went back to my old school a few years later and paid him a visit.  We talked for a few minutes, and I never saw him again.  \n\nHe's certainly retired by now.

Panama (Spanish: Panamá) is the southernmost country of Central America. A transcontinental country, its isthmus constitutes the last part of a natural land bridge between the North American and South American continents. It borders Costa Rica to the north and Colombia to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west.\n\nPanama is divided into 9 provinces (provincias) and 3 provincial-level indigenous territories (comarcas indígenas). There are also 2 sub-provincial comarcas.\n\nThe provinces are:\n\nBocas del Toro \nChiriquí \nCoclé \nColón \nDarién \nHerrera \nLos Santos \nPanamá \nVeraguas \nThe provincial-level comarcas are:\n\nEmberá \nKuna Yala \nNgöbe-Buglé \nThe sub-provincial comarcas are Kuna de Madugandí and Kuna de Wargandí, which are part of Panamá and Darién provinces, respectively.\n\nThe culture, customs, and language of the Panamanians are predominantly Caribbean Spanish. Ethnically, the majority of the population is mestizo or mixed Spanish, Indian, Chinese, and African descent. Spanish is the official and dominant language; English is a common second language spoken by the West Indians and by many in business and the professions. More than half the population lives in the Panama City–Colón metropolitan corridor.\n\nThe majority of Panamanians are Roman Catholic, accounting for almost 80% of the population. Although the Constitution recognises Catholicism as the religion of the majority, Panama has no official religion. Evangelical Christians are now estimated to be around 10% of the population. Other Protestant churches make up about 4% of the population. Other major religions in Panama are Islam (4.4%), the Bahá'í Faith (1.2%), Buddhism (at least 1%), Judaism (0.4%), and Hinduism (0.3%). The Jewish community, with over 10,000 members, is by far the biggest community in the region (including Central America, Colombia and the Caribbean). Jewish immigration began in the late 19th Century, and at present there are three synagogues in Panama City, as well as two Jewish schools. Within Latin America, Panama has one of the largest Jewish communities in proportion to its population, surpassed by Uruguay and Argentina, as well as among the largest Muslim, East Asian, and South Asian.\n\nAlso in regards to the Bahá'í Faith, Panama hosts one of only seven Bahá'í Houses of Worship in the world. Completed in 1972 in Panama City, it is perched on a high cliff overlooking the canal, and is constructed of local stone laid in a pattern reminiscent of Native American fabric designs.\n\nPanama, because of its historical reliance on commerce, is above all a melting pot. This is shown, for instance, by its considerable population of Chinese origin, who number around 150,000, or about 5% of the population. (See main article at Chinatowns in Latin America—Panama). Many Chinese immigrated to Panama to help build the Panama Railroad. A term for "corner store" in Panamanian Spanish is el chino, reflecting the fact that many corner stores are owned and run by Chinese immigrants. (Other countries have similar social patterns, for instance, the "Arab" corner store of France.)\n\nThe country is also the smallest in Spanish-speaking Latin America in terms of population, with Uruguay as the second-smallest (by almost 400,000). However, since Panama has a faster birth rate, it is likely that in the coming years its population will surpass Uruguay's.\n\nThe balboa is the official currency of Panama. Its ISO 4217 code is PAB.\n\nThe balboa has been tied to the U.S. dollar (which is legal tender in Panama) at an exchange rate of 1:1 since 1904, and balboas can be exchanged for U.S. dollars in Panama at any time at a 1:1 ratio. The balboa is divided into 100 centésimos(or cents); modern 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 centésimo coins are the same weight, dimensions and metallic composition as the U.S. penny, nickel, dime, quarter and half-dollar respectively.

If you are talking SHORT TERM, this two-week-long weight loss program will work. It has worked for me, for Renee Zellweger (after her Bridgett Jones movies) and for many others who need fast weight loss. Follow these steps religiously:\n\n1.Drink lots of fresh water every day using this formula: (your current weight) divided by 2 = ounces of water to consume each day. I like to drink room temperature water from a bottle because it’s easier to “chug.” I put four of the bottles on the kitchen counter and make sure they are all empty by the end of the day. Best to consume them throughout the day.\n\n2.Don’t drink any alcohol of caffeine. No soft drinks. Only green teas. REMEMBER, THIS IS ONLY 14 DAYS. YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU REALLY WANT YOUR GOAL.\n\n3.Fast walk or run for at least 60 minutes each day. It’s best to exercise in the morning since it will rev up your metabolism and keep our calorie-burn rate high throughout the day. You can do this by walking in place, using a treadmill, or walking outside. Whatever works for you.\n\n4.Do at least 50 crunches each day. I break mine into 2 or 3 different sessions. Also, if I need to do 20 crunches, I play a little trick with my mind and I “pretend” I am going to count to 25. It’s amazing how this helps the body get to all of the crunches with the same intensity.\n\n5.Eat only fresh vegetables! This is the key to the whole thing. Eat as many as you want, but DON’T eat any of the following: starchy vegetables including potatoes, squashes, pumpkins, and the like. They will work against you. Limit carrots, snow peas, and other veggies that are high in sugar content. NO GRAINS. Just fresh vegetables. You can eat salads, stir-fries, steamed, etc. But this is at the heart of your success.\n\n6.Don’t eat anything after 7:00 p.m.\n\n7.Put photographs (from magazines) up all over your house of trim, fit women. They will serve as motivators.\n\n8.Several times each day – especially when you first get up and when you go to bed, say something like: “I am enjoying my weight of (your goal weight).” Put it in the present tense and say it many times – with feeling! This will affect your subconscious mind to help you achieve your goal. Also, post these words in the same places where you post the photographs.\n\nAlso, don’t be surprised if you start feeling better than you have felt in a long time. You will have more energy, most aches and pains will be gone, and your whole body will look brighter. One warning, early on your elimination will be a little “urgent.” You may have some cramping. But this will all go away soon. Your body is in a deep cleanse.


I don't think Kimo intentionally wanted to hurt Palmer.  You could tell that by his reaction after the play.  It apppeared that the OL blocked him down and Kimo angled his body toward Palmer as a last effort in the heat of the moment.  I saw it as a late hit.  Again, heat of the moment but not an effort to cause injury.\nThis said, Steelers fans reaction to the play shows yet again, why they are the biggest morons in the NFL.  Many said it looked like they were going to win anyway.  How can you say that after Pittsburgh punted on the first possession and then Palmer strikes them deep on this play?  Their tune was quite a bit different when Big Ben got hurt by Cincy earlier this year and then they LOST with Tommy-Gun Maddox at the helm.\nSorry, I can't comment on the Thomas play.


At 15, fast food places are a good start. Here in northeast FL, Micky D's starts them out at about $8 an hour. (I make that much as a CSR for a Valet Garage and I am 41!) Dishwashing, grocery bagger and stable hand (if you live near any farms)is also good. There isn't a whole lot a 15yo can do, really. Most places want a valid DL or have age limitations. Hope I helped SOME.


If you no longer reside in the state of TN, but receive a summons to Federal court, do you have to attend?

I'm not a lawyer, but Federal Courts typically have jurisdiction over the whole USA.  Moving out of state will not even (automatically) excuse you from ordinary jury duty (personal experience on this), so I'm guessing it's probably more true with a Fed based issue.

If I use a mixture of a ten per cent of alcohol and a ninety per gasoline, does the octane increase its level?

Short answer: yes.\n\nOctane levels are based on what is called a "knock resistance."  When an engine burns gas, the smaller the gas molecules, the quicker it will burn.  If it burns too quickly, the energy will be released faster than the piston can use the energy.  The excess energy makes the piston rattle in the chamber, "knocking" back and forth--if you've ever heard a sound like rattling marbles in the engine of an old car climbing a hill, you know what I mean here.\n\nOctane is a hydrocarbon with eight carbon atoms (hence the "oct" prefix).  But gasoline that you get at the pump is not pure octane--it contains some lighter stuff (like hexane and septane) and some heavier stuff (like novane and decane).  Plus, there are aspects of whether the molecules in the gas are in straight chains or in branched chains.  But when a consumer buys gasoline, they need some sense of what they're getting to make sure that they're not getting crap that will burn too quickly and mess up their engine.  So instead of trying to make all gas pure octane (which would be ridiculously expensive and wasteful), or trying to give a consumer a detailed assay of the types of hydrocarbons in the gas (which would be meaningless for the consumer and likewise expensive), they formulate the gas into certain knock ratios.  The speed of burning is measured against 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (a type of octane) and n-pentane.  So 87 octane gas knocks as much as a mixture of 13% pentane and 87% octane, etc.  They compare the knocking effect.\n\nEthanol helps to slow down the burning of the gas, and does work as an actane booster.  The follwing link says that 10% ethanol added to 92 octane will give an octane rating of 94.7, but warns that ethanol is mildly corrosive to some engine parts.


Light from the Sun is reflected off of the Earth  onto the Moon. Some of this light is then reflected off of the Moon back towards the Earth.  Because of this we see part of the Moon illuminated by the Sun and the rest of the Moon dimly illuminated by this doubly reflected light (which we call earthshine). Each time light reflects off a surface (like a planet), it gets dimmer because some of the light is absorbed by the reflecting surface. This means that earthshine is dimmer than moonlight because earthshine is sunlight that has been reflected twice and moonlight is sunlight that has been reflected only once (off the surface of the moon). In addition, the reflectivity of the moon (its "albedo") is less than that of the Earth, which makes earthshine even dimmer. \n\nHave you ever wondered why the moon is more orange or yellow in color when it first rises at night? This effect is caused by the atmosphere of the earth. The reason for the orange color is due to the scattering of light by the atmosphere. When the moon is near the horizon, the moonlight must pass through much more atmosphere than when the moon is directly overhead. By the time the moonlight reaches your eyes, the blue, green, and purple pieces of visible light have been scattered away by air molecules. That's why you only see yellow, orange, or red.

what can I do to help my daughter stop peeing in her pants? she's 7 yrs. old and peed on herself all the time.

I think you need to take her to see her pediatrician.  There could be a problem, because your 7 year old should have no problem holding it by now.\nI don't understand the whole "can't be with her 24/7" thing.  At 7, if you aren't with her, someone you trust should be.  Whoever it is that you are having watch her should be made aware of the problem, and reminding her to use the restroom.


are u tottally confident in your self or do you get self concious sometimes?

where can i find free internet security.?

There are many free security programs available for download. \n\nAn anti-virus program is a must. If your PC came with Norton or McAfee anti-virus and you have NOT been updating the virus definition files your PC is at risk. If your subscription to Norton or McAfee has lapsed and you have not renewed your subscription so that you can receive virus definition updates then your PC is at risk.\nAn anti-virus program is only effective if the virus\ndefinition files are updated on a regular basis (at\nleast once a week). If you are cheap (like me) there is a good anti-virus program called AVG from Grisoft that is free for personal use.\n\nYou can download it here (link near bottom of page):\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nBefore you install this program be sure to UNINSTALL\nany other anti-virus program that you currently have\ninstalled. Anti-virus programs don't play well\ntogether so you should have only one anti-virus\nprogram installed at any given time.\n\nThere are 3 good FREE programs that are effective at dealing with spyware, Ad-aware SE Personal (removes spyware), Spybot Search & Destroy (blocks and removes spyware), Spyware Blaster 3.2 (blocks spyware). I have all 3 of these programs installed on my PC and they work well together without any conflicts. After these programs are installed they need to be updated on a regular basis to be effective. These programs will have to be manually updated.\n\nYou can download Ad-aware SE Personal here (click on "Download Now" near top left of page):\nhttp://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5\n\nAd-aware SE Personal will scan your PC and\nidentify spyware that should be removed. Ad-aware\ndefinition files are updated about once a week.\n\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy can be downloaded here:\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy will "Check for Problems"\n(scan) your PC for spyware that should be removed.\nBe sure to use the "Immunize" feature that blocks\nknown spyware from getting onto your PC. Spybot\nSearch and Destroy detection files are updated about\nonce a month.\nAfter you update Spybot Search and Destroy each month be sure to "immunize" your PC so that the updated spyware threats will be blocked.\n\n\n\nSpyware Blaster can be downloaded here:\nhttp://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html\n\nAfter the program is installed be sure to click on\n"Enable All Protection" so the program blocks spyware.\nDetection files are updated about once a month. After updates are installed each month be sure to click on "Enable All Protection" again so the updated detection files are applied.\n\n\nYou may also want to use Mozilla Firefox as your\nprimary web browser. Firefox is an excellent program,\nand I have been using it for several months now.\nFirefox has fewer security flaws than Internet\nExplorer. You will still need to use Internet\nExplorer to download Microsoft updates.\nYou can download Firefox here:\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/\n\n\nBe sure you have all the critical updates from\nMicrosoft for Windows and Internet Explorer.\nOpen Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" and select\n"Windows Update", and download all the critical updates.\n\n\nYou also need a good firewall to protect your PC.\nWindows XP comes with a firewall. It's better than\nnothing but you need more protection. Zone Alarm Basic Firewall is a FREE firewall program that provides good protection.\n\nYou can download it here:\nhttp://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_za.jsp?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en&lid=dbtopnav_zass\n\nWhen you install Zone Alarm you will be prompted to\nchoose the free trial to Zone Alarm Pro or just Zone\nAlarm, choose the Zone Alarm (just the firewall)\nbecause it's free. Zone Alarm monitors incoming and\noutgoing transmissions. It will take a little e

A previous answerer almost got it right.  Many drugs are practically insoluble in water, yet they are basic.  Such drugs, being bases, can react with acids to form salts.  These salts, if properly chosen, can be quite water soluble.  Very commonly, salts formed by reacting bases with hydrogen chloride or hydrochloric acid (HCl) are quite water soluble.  It is often important to have good water solubility in a drug to aid its dissolution in the stomach or to make it appropriate for percutaneous (injection, intravenous, etc.) use.  These hydrochloride salts are designated by listing "HCl" after the drug name.


If your g/f said she wanted to date other guys...?

That happened to me and it was the end of the relationship.  We met in college, had a long-distance relationship, then together for several months, then she moved 4-5 hours away after getting fired and getting a better job.  She wanted to marry, or at least live together openly, while I knew I couldn't marry her (too neurotic, too much fighting) and tried to hold on to the passionate girlfriend/boyfriend relationship indefinitely.  So it had been a holding pattern for several months, and her moving didn't really change it.  Soon she told me of reciprocal interest with a co-worker, which in retrospect I think was trying to drive me off, but I didn't bite and was actually friendly with the jerk.  Finally she said, "I think we ought to cool it and date other people".  I was in shock, but I remember what came out was, "You mean you want to break up?"  I don't remember what she said but the upshot was I wasn't going to share and she didn't try to work out a sharing arrangement.  Eventually she married the jerk.  I got an invitation to the wedding but I never answered and broke off contact.\n\nSo through the lens of my life experience, the relationship is on its last legs and you're looking for the kill.  I think the more honest and humane approach would be to present an ultimatum to get off of hold or break up, or just leave if you're not committed enough to force that issue.  It may seem cold, but it's better than getting into the jealousy thing with other guys.  I know being left for another man was much harder on me than being left out of general dissatisfaction, and it killed my interest in follow-up friendship (that part might be a blessing).  Someone else's story might have a different moral.\n\nGood luck,\nhouyhnhnm


what is the term to call ENT specialist?

Actually, the proper term is called Otolaryngologist.  But most people can't pronounce that, so they use ENT instead.

I'm on DSL @ 12.0 Mbps per second(what does that translate to in speed ligo? Fast,Decent,Slow,Average?Rganks

12 Mbps is cool. It means 12 Megabits per second (You don't need to add another per second here). A bit is the smallest unit of information and your connection allows you to exchange 12 * 1024 * 1024 bits of information in every second. \nWell that is the maximum that you can get. The average will be lesser generally.\n\nThe short answer to your question is, it is pretty fast. enjoy.

How many stars are visable in the sky on a clear night in a place with no lights?

There is a surprisingly simple answer to your great question: Each month we see different stars, so to answer for a specific night of the year at your specific location on Earth depending on your eyesight and how bright the city lights around you are might be hard to pin down. \n However there is a magnitude scale that astronomers use to describe how bright objects in the sky are. Without getting into details on how that works, the average human being can see down to about magnitude 6 ( brighter objects have lower magnitude until you reach zero. Then even brighter objects use negative numbers for their magnitudes which is a bit weird, isn't it?) Therefore, all you have to do is get a map of the whole sky showing anything brighter than magnitude 6 and count the stars. If you are fortunate to be away from bright city lights and you can see the Milky Way, you would be really surprised to know that you can only see about 6,000 stars. That's the number of stars above magnitude 6 in the entire sky.

I have osteo arthritis does any one have good remedies to help with pain besides drugs?

The answers you have received thus far all have something to contribute. Exercise, relaxation, topical analgesics can all help alleviate pain. You may also want to look at the herb boswellia which has been shown in studies to relieve pain. My wife uses Shaklee's Pain Relief Complex (containing boswellia) with excellent results. The herb Cat's Claw is also good. As a preventative many people use glucosamine which builds cartilidge which can improve joint mobility, and thereby reduce pain.

How would you define obstruction of justice?

Obstruction of justice, in a common law state, refers to the crime of offering interference of any sort to the work of police, investigators, regulatory agencies, prosecutors, or other (usually government) officials. Often, no actual investigation or substantiated suspicion of a specific incident need exist to support a charge of obstruction of justice.\n\nGenerally, obstruction charges are laid when it is discovered that a person questioned in an investigation, who is not a suspect, has lied to the investigating officers. However, in most common law jurisdictions, the right to remain silent allows any person who is questioned by police merely to refuse to answer questions posed by an investigator without giving any reason for doing so. (In such a case, the investigators may subpoena the witness to give testimony under oath in court) It is not relevant if the person lied to protect a suspect (such as setting up a false alibi, even if the suspect is in fact innocent) or to hide from an investigation of their own activities (such as to hide their involvement in another crime). Obstruction charges can also be laid if a person alters or destroys physical evidence, even if they were under no compulsion at any time to produce such evidence.

dependabilty of marine non-comishion officers?

They are the backbone of the USMC.  The Noncommisioned and Staff Noncomissioned Officers are the major movers and shakers of the Marines (and every other military service).\n\nThey are the ones who actually run the Corps.  The Officers give the orders, but the NCOs make sure they are carried out, supervise the performance of those duties, and take care of the men.  They are the mothers, and are entrusted with the care of 4-40 men and women entrusted to their care.\n\nAnd because every one has "risen through the ranks", they know what it is like to be in the "Enlisted" ranks.  Most will bend over backwards to take on a challenge, if nothing else to show that they (and the people under them) are up to the challenge.\n\nBut just like any other group, you will always have "bad apples".  You will have the slackers and shirkers.  But the vast majority of them are dependable and can be trusted to do what needs to be done.

How do you determine the heat of solution of an anhydrous calcium chloride?

You need to check your units.  The specific heat of water is not 4.184 J/g; it is 4.184 J/g*degrees C (or degrees kelvin).  And the heat of solution should not be in J/degree, but in J/g.\n\nTry this equation instead:\n\n[HoS = J/g] = [(Specific Heat = 4.184 J/g*C)*(mass = 100g)*(Temperature change = Initial C - Final C)] / [Mass of CaCl2 = 3 g]\n\nBy subtracting the final from initial you should get the negative value and not need the -1 at the front.\n\nSometimes enthalpy of solution is in J/mol rather than J/g, in which case you modify the above by calculating the mols of CaCl2 in 3 grams and switching that out with the 3g in the above equation:\n\n(3g) / (110.99 g/mol) = 0.027 mol\n\nTheoretically, you should want to know the heat capacity of the CaCl2 because it is also being heated, but this is assumed to be negligible.  Write that into your error analysis and you teacher will love you.  Also, make sure to check your significant figures; i don't know how many sig figs you used in weighing out your 3 grams, but that will be necessary to know how much to round everything.  Good luck.


what  will  happed if i love a 13 year old boy and i am 16 year old girl?

how herbal medicines related to science and technology?

There are surely many cures in nature, but no way is there a cure for everything.\n\nMany herbal medicines are being researched by chemists and biologists for medicinal uses.  And often, medical science moves forward by improving upon nature.\n\nFor instance, salicylic acid, a derivative from the bark of the willow tree, has many medicinal uses--such as treating acne and dandruff.  But the most popular medicine derived from it came when scientists acetylated the molecule, creating acetylsalicylic acid--what you would call aspirin.  (Unfortunately, they went on to do the same thing with morphine--a natural constituent of the opium poppy, and ended up creating heroin!)


do i have to send thank you notes for christmas?

The rule is...if the giver is in a different house from you, you NEED to send one.  Don't just send a blank one though!  Here is a fabulous guide on what to say:\n\nThere is a six-point formula to the proper thank-you: Learn it, know it, memorize it – and it will never fail you.\n\n1. Greet the Giver\n\n    Dear Aunt Sally,\n\nThat’s the easy part, but you’d be surprised how many people forget it. Dale Carnegie taught us people love to hear their own names and Direct Marketing is sure we also love to read them in ink. That’s right, ink. Blue-black is always the number-one choice, but black will suffice in a pinch. Don’t let a whimsical marker color be the most stunning part of your note: instead let the words sing without the amplification of rainbow hues. Even if your handwriting is poor, you must still hand-write your notes. Do not type them or, worse, use a word processor. No excuses.\n\n2. Express Your Gratitude\n\n    Thank you so much for the slippers.\n\nThis first paragraph seems like it would be the easiest, but it is actually the most complicated. Beware the just writing trap. You are not ‘just writing to say’ as in I am just writing to say; that’s stating the obvious. If the giver is reading, clearly you have already written. Therefore use the present-perfect tense, which essentially means write as if whatever you say is happening in the moment.\n\nAlso – and this is important – never directly mention money. ‘Thank you for the hundred bucks’ could instead be ‘Thank you for your generosity.’ All cash denominations become ‘your generosity’ or ‘your kindness.’ If you feel the giver overspent, the farthest you can go is appreciated: ‘Your generosity is appreciated,’ or ‘It is such an extravagant gift – your kindness is appreciated.’\n\nIf you’re writing to thank someone for an intangible (such as them putting you up at their place while you were in town for the weekend), first define what the intangible thing is, and then make the gift sound as attractive as possible. In other words, don’t say: ‘Thanks for letting us crash at your place.’ Instead say: ‘Thank you for your hospitality.’ Don’t worry if it sounds too simple; the point of writing the note is to create a simple expression of a heartfelt sentiment.\n\n3. Discuss Use\n\n    It gets very chilly here in the winter, so they will get a lot of use when winter comes.\n\nSay something nice about the item and how you will use it. Let’s say it’s something you actually love and use incessantly – then say so: ‘Ever since I got the slippers I have only taken them off to shower and go to work. I’d wear them to the office if I thought I could get away with it.’\n\nBut don’t lie, even though some etiquette books may tell you it’s okay. After all, there’s always a truth that can be extracted. Let’s say you hate the slippers. How to say thanks? Find the one thing about them that’s nice and discuss it – but don’t get carried away. ‘They are such a lovely shade of blue’ works, and is more honest than ‘These slippers make my heart sing like a choir of angels,’ which is overkill. If it was a gesture, like letting you stay at their place, you can follow the lines of ‘It’s so nice to make a personal connection while traveling. I really appreciated my time with your family.’\n\nIf the gift was cash, allude to how you will use the money, but do not itemize your planned purchases line by line, instead simply say: ‘It will be a great help when we purchase our new home/toaster/lava lamp/whatever.’\n\nYou can get arty here, but not flowery. It’s a fine line. Small, realistic statements like ‘I put the flowers on the kitchen table and they are still looking fresh and beautiful after a week,’ or ‘I don’t know which is more fun, actually using the Cuisinart, or reading recipes and thinking I could do that in the Cuisinart!’ Having fun is alright, so have at it.\n\n4. Mention


What  a differents betweenantibiotic and vaccine?

Vaccine is a weak form of the germ. Example, a flu shot is really a weak flu germ. That's why some people feel icky or get sick after such shots. It protects you from catching a stronger form of the germ. \n Antibitotics are given to you after you get sick. They help white blood cells fight the germs


Why does the amount of daylight increase at an uneven rate after 12/21?

The reason there is differing amounts of daylight is that the Earth's axis is tilted with respect to the plane of its rotation about the sun. When the north pole is tilted towards the sun, the northern hemisphere days get longer. The point in the Earth's orbit about the sun where the plane through the Earth's axis that is perpendicular to the Earth's plane of orbit ALSO passes through the sun itself (i.e. the Earth's rotation axis is lined up with the sun, north end closest) is the summer solstice. When the same plane passes through the sun again, only with the south pole closest, that is the winter solstice. At summer solstice, the length of the day is longest in the northern hemisphere. At winter solstice the day is shortest in the northern hemisphere. The opposite is true in the southern hemisphere. On the equator the lengths of the days don't change at all! The further you get from the equator, the more the length of the days change with the seasons.\n\nSo let's talk northern hemisphere. If the longest day is around June 21 (summer solstice) and the shortest day is Dec 21 winter solstice, you can think of the length of the days as changing smoothly from shortest to longest as you move from winter to summer solstice. If you do the geometry to figure out how the length of days changes with the seasons, it looks a lot like a sine wave. It's actually shaped a little differently because the Earth's orbit is not a circle--that would make a sine wave exactly for the length of days--but instead an ellipse. But it's still pretty close to a sine wave. If you look at a sine wave, you'll notice that as the wave approaches the bottom, slows down its descent until it almost "flattens" at the bottom, but not quite. Then after the bottom, it goes up more steeply until somewhere in the spring it is changing as fast as possible (pretty near to the vernal equinox), then begins to slow down again until it hits the peak at the summer solstice. After the summer solstice, the longest day, the length of days begins to fall, slowly at first and then ever faster, until somewhere in fall (pretty near the autumnal equinox) it's changing as fast as it's ever going to. Then it begins to slow down, until it hits the minimum at the winter solstice again. If you look back at the description about, you'll notice that the rate at which the length of days change also varies with the season. In fact, the rate of change is like a sine wave, too, only it's shifted by a season from the wave that describes the rising and falling of the length of the day itself.\n\n\nFor the latitudes farther away from the equator, the amplitude of the sine wave is larger. For the southern hemisphere it is flipped upside down compared to the same latitude in the northern hemisphere. And on the equator, the "sine" curve as zero amplitude--that is, it's a straight line.\n\nIn calculus you would say that the rate of change of a function (the "derivative" of the function with respect to time) tells you how fast the daylight is changing on a given day. And, in calculus you also learn that the rate of change of a sine wave is a cosine wave--or just another sine wave shifted back by 90 degrees. And 90 degrees of the sine wave describing the length of days corresponds to one season on Earth!

when does the house of representatives decide how many representatives can be sent from each state?

At this point the U.S. House Of Representatives number is set at 435 and has been for a number of years.  Every 10 years our country has a census and counts everyone in the country as there are population shifts from one state to another they shift the amount of Congressional Seats state by state as well.  It becomes the job of the state legislatures in the states involved to redistrict the Congressional District.  This is often done with the controling party of the state drawing out districts that most favor their own political party.  This system is called "Gerrymandering" named for the party leader that designed a district that resembled a salamander.  The last big conflict over redistrcting happened in Texas after the 2000 census.

Not that it matters because he can't ever run again but NO.  Frankly, I don't think we should stick with one guy or one party for too long.  It's a bad idea.

No one has time to grab enough control to make everyone else miserable for the rest of eternity! :)


Where can i find a website that has every cd cover?

All Music Guide is a database of all types of music, it has NEVER disappointed me and I listen to some pretty obscure stuff. There are pics of the album covers, but I would wonder if they are appropriate to enlarge without getting all grainy. The pics on any website, I would think, are pretty small. Whatever you decide, click on the thumbnail first, see if it comes up bigger. Get the largest size picture (in dimensions, not file size, although bigger files tend to be clearer, more tweakable) and then work with it in your photo editing program to see if you can scale it up without losing pic quality.

If he's a smart as you seem to think he is, he'll know that you like him, and cared enough NOT to make a scene just for show.  good luck!

why is it okay for adults to drink alcohol but not kids? what does it do to our body and not yours?

It's primarily about being mature enough to make the right decisions for yourself. In my state, it is 21. Even at 21 I know I made some pretty crappy decisions about drinking, but I can guarantee they were better than the decisions I would have made at 16. We have so many kids that drink and drive. They think they are invincible! \n\nAnother reason could deal with body weight. Your body can tolerate a bit more alcohol depending on your body weight. \n\nAgain, each person is different. Some 16 year olds are a lot more mature than some 30 year olds I know. Some are also a lot LARGER than people that are older. But the law has to find a compromise.....and thus sets an age limit for what they believe is in the public's best interest. Even then.........we still find that it does not alway deter kids from drinking.....driving......destroying their lives and others.


is there anything u eat that helps LOSE weight instead of gaining?

no...not unless you want to eat something like a cup of oil that makes you puke for a few hours or have the runs. Wanna lose weight??? Eat less energy than you are expending. That's it. Period. It is physically impossible to maintain your weight if you are burning off more than you take in....that would imply that you are a perpetual motion machine...ie- its impossible. Forget slow metabolism excuses, forget protein diets, carb diets, etc. Just eat slightly less energy than you expend, and you will lose weight.

why do men have surgery to correct hernias?

There are several types of hernias hiatal(stomach ruptures through diaphragm) and inguinal are two major types.  I will assume you mean inguinal hernias.  They can occur on the right or left at the inguinal canal between the groin and the abdomen.  They are much more likely in men due to weakness in the inguinal canal after the descention of the testicles at birth. They can occur at birth or if exposed to pressures from heavy lifting, obesity, pregnancy, and straining from constipation. The intestines will rupture through the muscles in this area causing a bulge.  The surgery is actually called herniorrhaphy.  Without surgery in severe instances you can have partial or complete blockage of the bowel.


what is the difference between parole and probation?

Probation is a sentence ordered by a judge, usually instead of, but sometimes in addition to, serving time in jail. It allows the convicted person to live in the community for a specified period of time, sometimes under the supervision of a probation officer, depending on the circumstances and the seriousness of the crime.\n\nParole is the conditional release of a prison inmate after serving part (if not all) of his or her sentence, allowing the inmate to live in the community under supervision of the parole period. The decision to grant parole is the responsibility, in a majority of states, of a board of parole or commission. Violation of the conditions of parole result in revocation and re-imprisonment.

what makes the role of military complex in under-developed countries?

Military can easily become the most powerful body in a lesser developed nation. This is because there are no proper checks and balances, there may not be proper laws and even if these things are present the military can still take over using their superior organisation and advanced weapons and aircrafts. \n\nFrom that point a dictatorship starts in the country. As in any dictatorship the dictator can do almost anything. He can do whatever he wants. Sometimes he can even mislead the public and swing their support in his favour. He uses media to promote himself and restrict opponents. This makes it very difficult for political opponents. They can't pass their messages to the public. All opposition rallies and meetings are restricted. They cant even fight with the dictator coz they do not have the weaponry the military has. The only chance the country then has to get out of this hole is foreign help. A bigger country can help that nation overthrow that leader through their power.

your rights when you get pulled over by police?

I've checked the Constitution and sure enough, there it is:\n\nArticle XIVXI: people have the right to smoke.\n\nAnyway, I know what you mean so we'll go from there.  I frequently don't let people smoke during my contact with them for a few reasons.  \n\nYou've probably got to reach inside a pocket, jacket, coat or something to get your smokes.  I don't want you doing that, even if I've already searched you.\n\nThen you're going to either use a match (and throw it on the ground) or a lighter.  Lighters come in all kinds of different shapes and sizes, and not all of them are lighters.  And again, you're probably going to have to reach into a pocket to get whatever you're going to use.\n\nA lit cigarette can be used as a weapon.  Poke someone in the eye with one, and see how they feel.\n\nI generally tell people not to smoke when I have contact with them and explain that they're not going to die in the ten minutes or so I need them not to...if you think about it, it's actually going to prolong your life just a little by waiting for that cigarette.\n\nBottom line is A) you don't have a "right" to smoke, though certainly it isn't against the law and B) I can make a good case for not allowing someone to smoke around me during a contact like this, so people who refuse are likely to find themselves in jail.  Nobody has yet.\n\nFunny that you're interested in not being allowed to smoke rather than being stopped and searched.
