what do these college sports phrases mean? 1) true freshman 2) fifth year senior 3)walk on 4)red shirt. Thanks

The NCAA rules allow a player 5 years to complete his/her 4 years of eligibility.\n\nA true freshman is someone playing during the first year of eligibility.\n\nA fifth year senior is someone who sat out a year (see red shirt) and is completing the 4th year of eligibility during his/her 5th year in school.\n\nA walkon is someone who was not recruted and given a scholarship. The athlete just showed up, tried out, and was good enough to stay on the team.\n\nA red shirt is an athlete who is passing up a year of play to extend eligibility. Red shirted players are allowed to practice with the team but not take part in competition.\nOriginally, red shirting was allowed if an athlete was injured severly enough to end his season. The team could petition the NCAA for an extra year of eligibilty, and the player was red shirted for the remainder of the year.\nThe name comes from the practice of having injured football players wear a red practice jersey to protect him during practice. \n\nToday redshirting may be done to allow a player to gain an extra year of experience before playing in "The Big Time". It also may be done as a personel management tool. If a coach has two equally good players competing for one position as quarterback, one may be redshirted. That way his eligability isn't used up sitting on the bench.

The only One who really knows about this is yourself.\nMost people try to hard to find someone to love and live with but you need to understand love will happen when it happens. It will happen maybe not today but it will.\nIf you go out and look for someone Like your a dog in heat sitting in the corner of the bar you will not find her there. You need to be yourself and the right person will see you and like you for yourself.\nI see so many people that worry about this that they forget to live. they wake up get dressed and try to look like a million bucks. and for what? Be yourself Love will find you.\nRemember this also you CANT make someone love you. They will or wont Though you can make someone think they love you but it wont work in the end. \nBe yourself dont say to your self this lady is a nice person but she does not like this and that so im gonna change everything I do. Let her love you for who you are.

Which one is better  for cellphone brands Nokia or Sony Ericsson???

I used to work for a cell phone company.Nokias rarely have any issues, or complaints. Ericsons did. People who own Nokias will only buy Nokias. They are almost indestructable. Ericsons menus are also a lot harder to learn. Nokias menus are standard and almost the same in every model. It also depends on what you want to use it for and your price range. They are both good phones.


You get 2 points deducted when you ask a question, then you can get the points back by choosing a "best answer".\n\nThey are trying to encourage people to come back, check the answers they have received, and choose a "best answer"; this will make the system more fair, especially in those cases where someone asks a question and someone else posts an answer that's so good, no one else bothers to answer.  The "answers" will not be put to a vote, because there is only one answer, so the person who posted the great answer gets only 2 points, not the total of 12 points that he or she is entitled to.


going on a black bear hunt in maine ive got a winchester 270 model 70 do you think this would do the job?

You could just ask them like you would ask anything else.For ex: What is your eye perscription?People have asked me this before and I have never been offended.I know that I'am legally blind with out contacts or glasses.People I realize are just curious,If you are trying to tell someone what your eye perscription is you would say ex:20/40 That means what most people can see at 20 ft, you think is 40ft away causing it to be out of focus and so on.Once you get passed a certian number they don't really use those terms .They just tell you you're legally blind w/o contacts or glasses.  You have exstremely bad eye sight  and can't drive or work or do much of anything without these.Hope this helps you:)


There is a mental ailment or disorder in each one of us. Comment on this. ??

Mental health diagnosis is often criticized because of the inability for mental health clinicians to conclusively provide empirical evidence to support a diagnosis.  In other words, while a doctor of general medicine might ask you some questions about your stomach ache, surmise that you might have a flu, then run a blood test to make a determination, a mental health clinician most often makes a determination after only asking questions.  There is usually not a "blood test" or any additional medical testing, other than observation, to determine a diagnosis.  Thus, clinicians do not always agree on diagnoses.  Additionally, stress and other factors in life will often cause a person to exhibit symptoms of a specific diagnosis.  For example, people who have had a significant loss in life, like the death of a loved one, may experience an acute episode of depression.  The symptoms of this episode may be virtually identical to the symptoms of a person diagnosed with major depressive disorder in all ways EXCEPT duration.  Even severe thought disorders, such as schizophrenia, can occur in brief, accute episodes.  So, the bottom line is yes.  We all experience symptoms of a mental disorder at some time in our life.


Is there a need of any specific religion?

By the time I read all of the answers I realized that my thoughts had pretty much been covered. So kudos to all above me!\n\nBut I do want to emphasize what Snehal has proposed. One world........no religions. I agree with the answer that said that religions have basic similarities but that man has chosen to use their religion inappropriately. Wars have been fought merely over "interpretations." People have died for believing differently. Lives have been controlled because of those reading religion as a misinterpreted call for power. People are told what to think and what not to think and are condemned for differing opinions. \n\nI'm sure right now someone reading this is shaking their head thinking, "She has no clue what she is talking about." If it would stop with that, all would be fine. We are all entitled to have our own opinions. It is when someone will write me slamming me for my beliefs and finding  a way to avenge my thoughts by blasting me somewhere that we realize this is symbolic of our world's problems. It's not just because of religion of course. Religion is the scapegoat. Man can blame his judgements of others on the fact that they belong to "the wrong" religion. If we didn't have religions..........we would all have to face what we really are without the use of the scapegoat. \n\nGod? Well I believe we have a higher order. Does he want religions killing and disagreeing? *cough* Think about what He would write if he answered this question. :)

i have internet connection and i want to earn by small business can u guide me?

Try reading up on the subject -- check out Amazon, your local bookstore or library. Some keywords to keep in mind: small business, home business, start-ups, etc.\n\nAlso, check out the sources box -- I put some links in there that could help you start on your way.\n\nDo you have a name in mind for your small business? Prior to investing your time, money & effort into a name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available. \n\nThis entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. \n\nResearch is needed to make sure your trade name is legally available, before opening, before expansion, before incorporation or before designing your logo. Similarities in sound, appearance and meaning affect you too!\n\nThere are 16+ million trade names in use in the United States. Similar names matter, if close in sound, appearance or meaning. Similar names in related classes, distribution channels and customer matter too. You are affected by Common Law use (14 million), State Trademarks (500,000) and Federal Trademarks (2 million).

Explain the main difference between the Aristotelian and Newtonian view of motion.?

Dynamics or laws of motion appear to have been developed to describe the motion of planetary bodies seen in the heavens.\n\nAristotle’s view of  motion tends towards the philosophical, it doesn’t lend itself to actually calculating the dynamic behavior of objects.\n\n - Like attracts like, so stones fall to the ground because they’re similar in substance, smoke goes up because it’s similar to air.\n - Natural state of an object is rest.\n - Constant velocity results from continuously applied force.\n - Masses fall at constant rates that are dependant upon their masses (feather vs rock)\n - Various other talk about pure heavenly substance (quintessence) that resulted in perfect (circular) motion.  Perfect motion is circular. \n\nNewton has his three laws, although these were built on ideas from Descartes, Galileo and others.  Inertia seems to originally have been Galileo’s idea.\n\nLaw of Inertia:  Every object in uniform motion remains in that uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.\n\nLaw of Dynamics:  The acceleration of an object is proportional to the force applied to it.\n\nLaw of Reciprocal Actions:  When one body exerts a force upon a second body, the second exerts an equal and opposite force upon the first.\n\n\nNewton’s ideas are originally written in Latin, and they inlcude a number of other related ideas, corollaries and postulates.  Newton was analytical in his approach, meaning that he wanted to be able to calculate various quantities of mass, velocity and acceleration.  Galileo was more experimental, and Aristotle tended mostly towards the philosophical.  \n\nAlso, Aristotle’s writings on motion tend to be confusing, he mixes terms and uses different terminology, so it’s not clear exactly what he’s saying all the time.  Clear statements of Aristotle’s ideas on motion should always be a little suspect.

There is no registry kept by the DOT. The DOT has regulations for who is a qualified SAP, but they do not actually certify SAPs.

whats the best way to get marijuana out of your system quick for a drug test?

best way actually is not do it, BUT if you do use it, the part 1.2 gallon vinegar to 1 gallon of water mixture will help you. You have to drink it ALL, a day before you test.You cant smoke any either afterward drinking this or it wont work. You may have a diarheaa a little because of the vinegar but atleast you past the test. Personally, I dont use marijuana now days because you wont get a job if you fail it so the high isnt worth it, but I know this works.Or buy this stuff call Hot Flush. It works within an hour and you get it at any Tatooes Places.


What is meant by "God Speaks"?? Does he literally speak??

I hope these questions are helping you on a path to the truth.\n\nGod is omipotent - all powerful - so He can speak in any language.

Just try praying to God (don't forget God can read your heart when you're praying so don't mock Him) and see what happens.

Do you think Mandarin (Chinese) will become more important than English in the near future?

English is now the international language of business and trade (and airspace as pilots are required to speak English). However, I think it is rather unfortunate that Americans tend to be so egocentric assuming that everyone will speak our lanague and therefore we do not need to bother learning other languages.\n\nMost European students begin learning languages in elementary school and by the time they are done with high school, they often speak 3 or 4 language fluently.\n\nAmericans can't be bothered to even learn Spanish.\n\nMy opinion regarding Mandarin and Cantonese is that they will become increasing important for business and trade and that anyone taking the time to learn the language will have an upper hand in dealing with China compared to someone who knows only English.\n\nIf I ever have children, I would like to have a Chinese nanny so that the babys hear the phoenitics of the language and will have an easier time learning.


what is the interest on $38925.00 for 1year at 5 1/2 percent interest?


Visit with the financial aid office at your college for information and assistance. You will very likely have to complete a FAFSA (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov).\n\nThe best place to find merit scholarships is the scholarship office at the college or university you plan to attend. After you've contacted that office, you should also work through your local sources: your or your parents' employers, fraternal organizations in your area (Lion's Club, etc.), your church/diocese/synagoge, your youth group/athletic team sponsor/coach, your high school counselor and your high school principle. Then visit your local library and browse through their reference books on college grants or go online and search for grants at sites such as www.fastweb.org.\n\nBest of luck! \n\nSource(s):\n\nHill Country ECS http://www.hillcountryecs.com\nThe Future Prep Workbook (College Planner) http://www.lulu.com/content/264487......

what exactly is a stock in a company? how is it determined how much a share is? and how many shares?

This is the answer to your 2nd question. Do you remeber supply and demand? I will illistrate by comparing a company's stock to a city. If there are more people moving away from a city do to a STORM than there are moving to the city, what would happen to the value of the houses in this particular city? Since more sellers are selling than there are buyers buying, the sellers will have to lower the price to compete with each other. This would be a buyers market. THe buyer has the upper hand. \n\nNow, picture the STORM I mentiond, instead of the storm being a hurricane and the city being a city, the storm is now a newspaper article entitled, "Intel Misses Wall Streets Expectations \nbuy a penny," and the city is now a society of people who own stock in Intel. \n\nLet's say you and I own a pizza shop we invented, Atari's Pizza. We have 5 tables and two grills for a total of 800 square ft. However we get very busy @ night, we'll do $20,000 in sales a night. We ask ourselves one night after work, "imagine if every city in the country had an Atari's pizza"\n\nIn order to make that happen, you will need $$$$$. In order to get the $$$$, you will offer the world a small stake in Atari's and decide to sell 2million shares for 20$ a share. THis is called an IPO (initial public offering), so to answer part of your question, you (Atari's) set the initial price, hence, "initial offering."  \n\nOk now the offering is over and you have 2million times 20$. Let's say that much money is enough to get you twenty stores up and running right away. Now how many stores will you have in 20 years? If each store gives you 20k a night, this is a lot of money. It will be enough to add 5 new Atari's every year in different towns. \n\nTHink about it now, you sold 2 million shares to the public for twenty bucks and that was enough to get 20 new stores up and running right away. Also it was enough to sustain 5 new stores a year.\n\nNow for the arithmetic,  20 stores (Stock Price 20$)+ 5 new stores a year for twenty years =  120 stores\n\nHypothetically, the price of the stock would be @ $120 because if investors were willing to pay 20 dallors when Atari's only had 20 stores then they would pay 40 dallors when Atari's had 40 stores as long as Atari's rate of growth didn't change, all else equal in other words.\n\nThis also sets the price or stockholders equity. What if Pizza Hut wanted to buy Atari's. They would be buying from the stock holders not the original two owners. That supports why 120$ a share is sufficient for 120 stores. That is what Ataris' is worth.\n\nGood Luck I hope this helped \n\nTHis website will help


Can the entanglement of two particles travel faster than the speed of light?

If you measure the state of one of the entangled particles, you instantaneously set the state of the other particle (as far as we know, even if you are across the universe).  So, your answer is yes.\n\nNote that this is not a problem for relativity, because no information is being transmitted this way.  You can measure the state, but you can't control what it ends up being.


Well it all depends on where you live, got a nearest 5-star hotel and ask the concierge where do people with such interest gather, like a bar, hangout place etc.

The printer should have a plug, and on the plug, there should be a drawing of something that kinda looks like branches of trees, and at the end  of two of the "branches" there's a circle, and at the end of the middle branch, there's a triangle.  You need to look (if you have a windows desktop computer) in the back of the computer box, and look for a plug entry that has that same drawing.  If you have a laptop, it should be on the side, along with a bunch of other places to put other plugs.


What does God think of Christians that Divorce?

God loves His children. God hates divorce. Why? Because it breaks the type that God setup as a model for Christ and the church. Jesus will never leave us or forsake us. A divorce ruins that beautiful picture. God also hates divorce because it is the result of hardness of heart. The aftermath is bitterness, heartache and pain.\n\nNothing changes God's love for us. Divorce destroys a marriage. And who is the one who targets marriage for destruction? Who is called the destroyer?


Would you rather eat a shot glass full of live wasps, or eat a shot glass?

depends on if i'm allergic to wasps.  i haven't found out yet, but that'd be a crappy way to learn.  glass shreds your stomach lining and you can bleed internally for days before you get really sick or potentially die.  i'd take my chances with wasps i guess.

how can i use the Bible to teach history and science?

You can use it to teach history and science by looking at it's background as a significant literary text.  Linguistics, archaeology, world history; all of these can use the bible as a real object to build lessons around.  Treat it as an artifact, look at it from different perspectives in time and how it has impacted the cultures who wrote it, those it was introduced to, and those who uncovered it and translated it.  For a 10 year old boy, an Indian Jones type expedition through time would be a hoot.

What is the best way for companies that employ diverse workers to exploit these workers' backgrounds and views

What you are describing is just another example of the hypocrisy that is eroding our country from the inside out! It’s not a corporate America issue, but an American culture issue.  \n\nPeople, organizations , and politicians all pay lip service to social issues, but the proof is always in the pudding (we are a country the pays movie stars millions of dollars a film, and teacher barely a living rage) We are living in truly scary times. The gap between the rich and poor is increasing at an alarming rate, and the middle class is disappearing. Our government has undermined the middle class making it easier for American corporations to export jobs overseas.  Banks have extended middle class credit to the point that most Americans are drowning in debt. Inflation is out of control (30 years ago you could by a house for 20,000, a new car for 2,000 and raise a family on 1 income, now the median new house is 150,000, car is 25,000 and you can barely make ends meet with two incomes and an annual household salary over 50,000 a year).   The media has convinced the public that happiness is something external, outside of themselves, and that they can buy on E-bay, Pharmaceutical companies have convinced Americans that they are all sick and need a pill feel “normal”, and it is so ingrained that we are the only western civilization in the world that drugs it’s children for behavior problems (ADHD) and then talks out of the other side of our ass about how”drugs are bad”. We a country that believes we have so much choice & variety, but in reality the media, and most consumer products are all one company going under divert subsidiaries or divisions(Taco Bell, KFC, Pepsi, Frito Lay, it is all the same company, the same thing with your newspaper & Network and  cable news).  \n\nI am a professional master’s level social worker with over 10 years working in the non profit mental health industry who totally believed in all the American propaganda until I got a real wake up call.  For starters I  found myself making less money then I did as a high school drop out in Hawaii 15 years ago working as a travel agent . I was also unable to afford health insurance at my job with a community mental health agency because the premium for my family was almost 600.00 a month. I was over 150,000 dollars in debt on student loans I used to get my master’s degree, and we carried over 200,00 in additional personal debt and ended up having to file bankruptcy . My child was receiving a substandard education because we lived in Florida which is focused on testing kids constantly, but neglects to teach them any real critical thinking skills. Also I worked with troubled kids, and was just horrified by all of the social pressures, and cultural messages, and just the loss of innocence that the kids were be confronted with at earlier and earlier ages. I made a radical decision, and left the USA to raise my child overseas where our family could be part of a global community. I have not regretted the decision, but it really breaks my heart that things have gotten so bad in the US. I am glad that you are cautiously optimistic, I am an optimist too, and I have not given up on the US, I just really feel that it was a toxic environment to raise my child in.\n\n If you want to talk more about this kind of stuff you can contact me via my yahoo 360 page, by the way your baby is adorable!! I will put my yahoo link below if you want to talk more about stuff like this. I noticed that some of your questions seem to be going unanswered.

how do i implement java codes for image processing?

Hi\n\nI'm sure that the other response are good but you need to know that Java has a profesional API used for image processing. This is Java Advanced Imaging API. "The Java Advanced Imaging API is intended to meet the needs of technical (medical, seismological, remote sensing, etc.) as well as commercial imaging (such as document production and photography). The API can benefit all Java developers who want to incorporate imaging into their Java applets and applications."\n\nYOu can also use some open source Libraries, such as JIU.\n\nSee the links below.\n\nI hope this helps,\nCipri


american civil liberties union\n\nThe American Civil Liberties Union has been defending liberty in Americafor more than 85 years. From the internment of some 110,000 Japanese-Americans during World War II to the abusive domestic spying, blackmail and harassment by the FBI during the McCarthy era, the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War, the ACLU has successfully defended the basic rights and freedoms of everyone across America when they were at their most vulnerable.\n\nBut we’ve never been needed more than today. For the past four years, some of the most powerful politicians in America have made it their mission to accumulate unchecked government power, relentlessly undermining civil liberties. In unprecedented ways, they are invading our privacy, undermining our Constitution and squelching dissent. All too frequently, they are shamelessly using the “war on terror” as cover for their assault.\n\nTime and again, the ACLU and its members have shown that we can be successful in defending freedom even in the current inhospitable climate. We have built bipartisan congressional support for eliminating certain unwarranted, dangerous provisions of the Patriot Act, and we have inspired a resounding chorus of diverse voices, individuals and community groups all across the country, calling for measures to reverse the government’s unjustified overreaching and to restore our precious freedoms.We have challenged the Patriot Act in court and won. We have squelched numerous government programs designed to spy on Americans. We have won legal victories curtailing executive power. We have defeated the first-ever federal abortion ban in court.

Why does Palestine hate Israel so much, and should people be worried about the Hamas ?

Probably because of all the killing, occupation etc.\n\nPeople should definitely NOT be worried about Hamas getting more political power in Palestine.  They apparently won the election, and this is a good thing because it's a terrorist group which is now able to achieve their political goals peacefully through democracy.  I predict that they will simply change from a terrorist group to a political party and eventually they'll tone down their "destroy Israel" rhetoric.\nGreat!


If Krishna is a neighbor, then that's fine. But if it is to love and serve as God, to find truth, or to worship then you are in trouble my friend. If you want to go to a destination, say Key West, you must first move toward that direction, and take the only road that leads you there, for all others roads will not get you there. And so it is with truth for God is not relative, for neither is truth. Any Religion will not take you to God. Religion is mans way to God, Christianity is Gods way to man. Jesus Christ said "I am the truth, the light, the way and that no one comes to the Father but through him" Some may call that narrow minded, but no one ever claimed to be who he was, then proved what he claimed to be. We all shall stand before God and give account of our lives, what we did with what God blessed us with, and the most important question is what we did with the truth of his word by receiving Jesus Christ, his son as the supreme love of our life. The odds of dying are still 1:1. We all shall receive eternal life, many  in heaven who accepted Christ, and others in hell whom rejected him. Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven. Please give Christ the chance to reveal himself in his word, he will never let you down, leave you, nor forsake you. Christ's Blessings, John


I am feeling the right. It's just what first came to my mind. I am right handed and believe I use that side of my brain more.\n\nIf it was a path less traveled by I would consider it, but have to admit I've had my trusting nature violated once too often and might be leery of walking somewhere fewer people were. Still if I could feel just nature ahead of me, and my intuition said it was worth it, I'd enjoy going where few had before.


To the girl with the alcoholic baby daddy?

alcoholism runs in the family. My father was an alcoholic and so was his father. I was mentally affected because I didn't understand his behaviors while he was drunk. Dr. Jeckyl was probably an alcoholic. My father was a crying drunk who felt sorry for himself and cried tears in his beers. I am always careful when it comes to drugs and drinking because I live with the fear of knowing that I could probably slide into alcoholism without much effort.


so tell me what diet pill really helps u lose weight?

None, there are some suppliments like, Hydroxycut, Leanfire or Xenadrine (Look for the Effedra Free ones). These are basically only good for athelets prior to competion to help them get to the fat level they want to be at prior to a show. But to use these without any cardio is a waste of money as the active ingredients will do you no good unless you get your heart rate up.

My friend cuts himself, what should I do?

I used to be a cutter.  I would do it becuase I would have so much emotional pain, cutting myself would hurt physically so it would take my mind of my emotional problems, instead I could focus on the physical pain.  \n\nI stopped becuase I went to a psychiatrist and got medication for depression.  That helped A LOT!!!\n\nAs far as what to say to your friend... my friends never knew what to say to me (my best friend talks about it with me a lot now that I don't do it anymore).  I actually scared them a lot.  Maybe just let your friend know that it scares you when they hurt themselves.  Then try to get them to go get help for it.  You can talk about the underlying issues, but if they are at the point of cutting then unfortunately they most likely need professional help.  That is a sign of a psychological disorder.\n\nAt work I have seen several kids that do this.  They give reasons for doing it anywhere from my reason to wanting to see what it would do, to wanting to kill themselves and just "hoping i would cut deep enough".  \n\nSo like i said, talk to your friend.  Try to find the underlying issue, and get them help.  Be there for them.  Good luck.

are turkeys so dum that when its rainning and they look up they can drown?

Nope. Turkeys do not look up in order to "see" rain. A turkey's eyes point sideways, so even if a turkey tilted its head backward, it would still be looking to its sides, not up. They tilt their heads sideways to look at something above them. See the link below for a complete debunking of this.

It would help some to know how old you are first.  I will assume that all parties of of legal age (21)since it is not otherwise stated.\nDoes your girl have a drinking problem?  If not it is pretty unreasonable for you to ask her not to drink.  What right do you have?   If she does have a drinking problem, asking her not to drink will not make her not drink.  \n\nAlso, asking anyone not to hang out with their friends is not reasonable what right do you have to tell her who she can and cannot hang out with?  \n\nYou are correct though, she shouldn't have agreed to what you asked, as you are overstepping your bounds as a boyfriend.  \n\nYou ask her to do things that are not reasonable, then you get mad when she doesn't do them.  You don't trust her to start with, then you ask her to keep promises that you know she won't and you then in turn trust her even less.  You are making yourself miserable, you either need to learn what you limits are as a boyfriend (what you can ask another person to do/not do) or you need to get out of this relationship.   \n\nHow would you feel if she asked you to do the same things that you ask of her?  Would you feel it was fair?  You might feel that you are trying to look out for her best interest, but it sounds like it might be coming across as overbearing.\n\n*UPDATED*  I can't solve your problem.  Relationships are hard and yet simple, either you and the other person are happy, or you aren't.  If you both aren't happy, and you've tried to make it better and you still aren't happy, then what's the point of continuing?  You can not change a persons behavior and although, you may want to look out for her and vice versa you can not make her do something she doesn't want to.  Just like she can't make you do something you don't want to do.  You only do it because you want to, you want to please her and make her happy.  It's a two way street, you can give her your opinion and your advice, but you can't make her do anything. If you are happy with her behavior then stay, if not leave; she is going to be who she is, if you don't like that then maybe you don't really like her, but you like who you can turn her into; which again isn't really her.  Regardless, you either stay or leave it is your choice, but know who she is as a person and know that you can only advise and nothing more then that.  *********************\n2-1-06\nIt's sad, she needs to learn to love herself.  She has to learn to do that on her own, sadly; you cannot teach her that.  That's all I have to say about this, and I mean it this time.

Why is it ok for persons at a hosp in Flag AZ to work 16 hr days, 2-5 days in a row? Its not safe.?

In my experience, if you are a nurse aide on a 16 hour shift, that is a rotation.  I used to do it.  You're normally scheduled for 8 hours, but every so often you are asked to stay and pull a double.  Yes, these people sometimes have trouble staying awake, and that's why it's on a rotation, and not daily.  They get some added time off for doing this, so as to rest up.


i love a girl. she is studing in our school. but i don't know the way that how i should express my love to her

Never express love to a girl that you don't know if she even likes you. Most people can't deal with that, Express interest. More conversations are cut short by over enthusiasm. Buy her some chinese, or a cup of coffee whatever. Don't go overboard and freak her out.

How do I improve my vertical enough to be able to dunk a basketball?

WARMING UP\n\nBefore starting the exercises, warm up your muscles. Stretch properly, and jog around for a few minutes.\n\nIf you have a jumprope, use it. Jumping rope definitely helps your conditioning.\n\nRunning up and down stairs for a while is very useful as a warmup, or a full exercise. Don't do too much or else you may wear our your legs. Use it as a quick warmup, or a full exercise.\n\nJUMPING EXERCISES\n\nDeep Knee Bends --- Be standing. Slowly bend at the knees while keeping your back straight. Slowly crouch down as low as possible (it shouldn't hurt) and slowly rise back up. Do this 15 times. Over time increase to 20, 30, etc.\n\nDeep Knee Bend Jumps --- Be standing. Crouch down as described above but fairly quickly, almost touching your bottom to the ground, then explode upwards as high as you can. The moment you land, immediately crouch and launch back up again. Do this 15 times, and when you can, increase to 20, 30, etc.\n\nToe Raises --- Stand regularly, then raise up onto the tips of your toes. Lower back down. Don't just rock up and down, do it slowly (not too slowly) but steadily. Repeat 30-50 times.\n\nToe-Raise with Weights --- If you have any sort of weights, holding/wearing them while doing these toe raises will help. Use small weights (a mere 5 or 10 pounds is fine) and work your way up.\n\nStomach Crunches --- We believe that sit-ups are bad for your back. Stomach crunches, where while lying on your back, using your ab muscles and keeping your back straight, you rise up just enough to lift your shoulders off the ground, are better. Do them often - perhaps for 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes at night.\n\nJumping Rope--- Jumping rope definitely helps your vertical leap. Jump rope while watching tv or something. Make it a habit.

Are spiders insects? if not what are they classified as?

Spiders are Arachnids and not insects.\nArachnids are a class that includes spiders, ticks, mites and scorpians. They are chiefly terrestrial arthropods, some 65,000 to 73,000 species including the spiders, scorpions, harvestmen, ticks, and mites. The arachnids are easily distinguished from the insects by the fact that they have eight legs instead of six.\nInsects of course, have 6 legs and often have a 3 segment body and wings. Arachnids are further distinguished by the fact they have no antennae and no wings. They have a two-segment body, made up merely of the thorax and abdomen.\n\n\nPhylum: Arthorpoda\nSubPhylum: Chelicerata\nClass: Arachnida\nOrder: Araneae\nThen your genus and species of spider.

what is the best programming language to use and certainly if so why?

This isn't an easy thing to answer.\nIf you're going to learn a single programming language, learn machine code.\nI highly recommend learning C, HTML, JAVA at least. \nC will allow you to write powerful programs, and it's not terribly hard to learn.\nHTML and JAVA are both very easy languages that allow you to do web programming with great power and ease.\nThe great thing about these 3, is that you don't need any special software to write programs in these languages.

Why do all the planets go around the Sun in the same direction? And why do all planets lie in a flat plane?

The planets were formed by the same cloud of swirling rocks and dust, so when they came together and formed the planets they were all going the same direction. And actually, since the sun was made from the same stuff, it actually rotates in the same direction, though it is hard to tell because there are no surface details to see from earth without assistance to see the movement of the sun. I think astronomers see the rotation of the sun by watching sun spots. \n\nAnd actually they do not all lie in a flat plane. There is actually a small difference between the orbital planes of each of the planets.

How do you treat carpal tunnel, or how does a doctor?

Well, my mother and I both had it. It comes from typing, writting etc.. too much. If it is bad the doctor will remove nerves in you wrists that are effecting the pain and tingling.

is buffy the vampire slayer postmodern? if so why?

In a word, yes. The longer version is that BtVS is a piece of postmodern art because:\n\n"In terms of popular culture and mass media, there has been a large push towards the postmodern tendency of "bricolage, pastiche and intertextuality" (Altman, 1999:141) in recent years. In regards to BtVS, the series creator, Joss Whedon, has stated when he was forming the character of Buffy he thought of "the little girl, the little blonde girl who goes into a dark alley and gets killed, in every horror movie. The idea of Buffy was to subvert that idea, that image, and create someone who was a hero where she had always been a victim. That element of surprise, that element of genre busting is very much at the heart of the series" (2001). The notion of "genre busting" is found in the postmodern mixing of horror, comedy and drama, and results in the playful deconstruction of genre conventions, forcing the audience to question their assumed knowledge of the 'rules' of a particular genre, such as the formal repetitive structure of horror films (Dika, 1987:87)"\n\nTherefore, the primary reason why the show can be considered postmodern is that, from its very inception, the show was intended to  flip and subvert the horror movie standard of the blonde girl being slain by the monster in the dark alley. \n\nBtVS also goes on to subvert standard readings of text and narrative by becoming extra-textual or outside of the text, by making transgressive allusions and references. Buffy's postmodernism comprises not only self-awareness but also awareness of other shows, movies, books and anything else, including referring to Martha Stewart as a demon.\n\nPostmodernism also often defines itself by what it is not. In the case of Buffy, the show (and its creator) often defines itself by setting itself apart from something else.  Thus, for instance, in Buffy many episodes, scenes or lines start with a cliché and then move on from it to subvert that cliché or exaggerate it in unconventional ways for dramatic purposes. This is demonstrated most clearly when a character questions a commonly used saying. For instance, in the season 2 episode, 'Lie to Me', Willow wonders why people say 'sticks out like a sore thumb' :\n\nXander: In no way do we stick out like sore thumbs. \nWillow: Okay, but do they really stick out? \n Xander: What? \nWillow:  Sore thumbs. Do they stick out? I mean, have you ever seen a  thumb and gone, 'Wow! That baby is sore!' \n Xander: You have too many thoughts.\n\nAnother example is the show's original conceit:  the cliche that high school can be hell is given a postmodern twist by creating a show in which high school was literally on the mouth of hell.

If you have a ISP account, you can download those emails to your ISP account.


which is likely to be colder; a night when the stars are out or a night with no stars? why?

Well that's sort of subjective. A clear, cloudless night is likely to be colder, simply because clouds create sort of a "blanket" so to speak covering the ground from the most frigid of air. That's why desert nights can be so devastating. \n\nHowever, if you're talking about cloudless nights with or without stars, it makes no difference. One of the biggest reasons we cannot see the stars too well is simply light pollution. If we're near a city, the lights that go up reflect and block virtually all of the night's stars. \n\nSo basically, it's impossible for me to say beyond that without clarification.

Kurt Donald Cobain-What do you think about him?

He helped revolutionize the music of our generation. I was/am still a big Nirvana fan-I have been ever since Bleach. He was the person who gave a voice to Generation X. He was an average person like you or your friends and had the same issues, but he could put it all into powerful words which made him extraordinary. His music was great, but wouldn't have been so good if he hadn't been so 'tortured' feeling. If he wouldn't have felt that way the music wouldn't have been so poignant, he wouldn't have committed suicide and would still be alive today. Anyone who commits suicide is just a coward! There's always another way. \n\nStill, almost 12 years later, I have my backpack with the RIP Kurt patch on it.


You have to give a little more detail. Some are too shy to come out openly and ask.\nHay, if you want to go out with him you could come out and ask him if he is asking you out.Honesty is the best way to live. You could just ask him out.\nGood luck


Just politely tell him it's not working for you and let him know that it's over.  Don't be too critical as it's going to hurt bad enough for him.


What is GPRS in mobile telephone industry?

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a mobile data service available to users of GSM mobile phones. It is often described as "2.5G", that is, a technology between the second (2G) and third (3G) generations of mobile telephony. It provides moderate speed data transfer, by using unused TDMA channels in the GSM network. Originally there was some thought to extend GPRS to cover other standards, but instead those networks are being converted to use the GSM standard, so that is the only kind of network where GPRS is in use. GPRS is integrated into GSM standards releases starting with Release 97 and onwards. First it was standardised by ETSI but now that effort has been handed onto the 3GPP.


What is the effect of CNG on petrol engine?

Ethanol is bad and creates many nasty acids that wear away the journal bearing babbits, etc.  Many materials cannot stand up to the increase acidity present when burning higher percentages of ethanol. (Boy i hope i don't mean methanol instead of ethanol.  You might want to double check me there!)\n\nCNG can ONLY be used on SUPERCHARGED diesel engines.  To date, there are no SUPERCHARGED automotive diesel engines made.  The only way to get CNG into a diesel engine is to use very large superchargers which run mechanically off the crankshaft to ensure enough air-fuel mixture gets into the engine.  See Waukesha for stationary CNG products.  Traditionally, many diesel/CNG power plants run on CNG most of the time to save $.  \n\nCNG is GREAT for normally aspirated automotive spark-ignition engines.  It may produce less peak power, but the cylinder wear is REDUCED, oil contamination REDUCED--the engine runs SO MUCH CLEANER it is unbelievable.  Combustion chambers remain spotless and spark plugs stay clean.  CNG evaporators need a heat source, so in cold climates you may have to have a preheater.\n\nYou may be able to increase compression ratio when building up an automotive conversion--but don't overdo it.  I know plenty of CNG trucks that end up blowing a head gasket because people have a lead foot.  You could probably run a 9.0.  The best engines to use are V-8 carbureted truck engines.  \n\nTotal fleets of frozen food delivery trucks have been converted to CNG--but none has a diesel engine--they are all gasoline type engines.  So they do use them in trucks.  \n\nCNG will run out fast in your automotive application.  CNG must be stored in a gas phase, which means by the cubic foot.  It is not practical usually to build CNG storage into a car, and check with your Dept. of Transportation on explosion hazards--it may be illegal in some cases to carry so much cubic feet of explosive gas on a car or in a non-rated tank.  The heating value, i.e. energy per cubic foot of fuel is far less than gasoline, and less than propane. \n\nThe most practical conversions for cars are propane kits.  They are very simple: pressure regulator, evaporator, and some kind of throttle linkage.  You will get a few more miles per bottle of propane than CNG.  Both propane and CNG keep engines spotlessly clean.  Be sure to start with a clean engine and be sure that the valves have valve seats in the heads.  Exhaust gases can run the valves a bit hotter than when burning gasoline because of unburnt hydrocarbons in the exhaust--if your air-fuel ratio is right, you will never have that problem with CNG or LPG.

Do wireless routers connect to hotspots for u?

No, that's not what a router does.\n\nA wireless router will provide a local point of access, to let your machines connect to *your* connection...  in other words, it still has to be connected to your internet service, it won't simply "bring in waves of hotspot signals", so they're not going to get your a free connection.\nMost WiFi hotpots have a very limited range, just a few hudred feet - and that's intentional.  Even if you were lucky enough to live right next door to a hotspot, and be within range, most of them require you to be a subscriber. (Yes, there are free hotspots around, but most want you to pay for the service)\n\nYou mention that you use dialup...  be aware that setting up a wireless router to support dialup can be a pain, and not all makes/models will do so.   Check the specs carefully first, you'll need one with a serial/modem port...  usually an older model or a high-end router that uses dialup as a backup, "fail-over" mode


can someone explain standard deviation of the mean to me?

Standard deviation tells you how spread out a set of numbers is.  A small standard deviation means that the numbers are close together.  A large one says that they're far apart.\n\nIt's often used as a measure of distance away from the mean.  In a normal distribution, about 68% of numbers are within one standard deviation from the mean.  For example, if you have a normal distribution with a mean of 50 and a standard dev of 10, then about 68% of the numbers are between 40 and 60.  And about 95% of the numbers are within two standard deviations, or between 30 and 70.


i am a permanent residence applicant can i go there before receiving this visa?

Maybe you can get a tourist visa before you get your PR visa.


what do i do? no one cares about me, y is this happening to me....?

Have you ever read about Job.  He went through many many many trials and he still prevailed.  I know life can be rough at times and unfortunatly you will continue to go through hard times, they really never end.  But remember, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.  Turning away from your faith would be the wrong thing to do.  It's not that God isn't listening or answering your prayers.  He does listen and he will answer them.  God loves you very much, even when no one else seems to.  You should try talking to your preacher or someone in your church that you can trust. Tell them how you are feeling.  I suggest getting a prayer partner, someone who will help you pray for your needs.  Try smiling as much as you can today.  That will make you feel better too.  Good luck and God bless.

From the bible what fruit did adam and eve eat?

The Hebrew word "tap·pu´ach" which is usually translated to English as translated “apple,” appears a number of times in the Bible but it does not appear in the account of Adam, Eve, and the tree of good and bad.   The idea of an apple probably came from Medieval and Renaissance artists who painted apples in Garden of Eden scenes.  Some of these artists include Peter Paul Ruben and German court painter Lucas Cranach the Elder.  John Milton was probably the first person to put the idea into writing in Paradise Lost.  \n\nSo, what was the fruit.  It does not say in the Bible.  God probably didn't feel this detail was important when he inspired Moses to write down the account.

What is the relationship between Golden Section with a polygon?

Good question, but I think you meant pentagon.\n\nIf you had a regular pentagon with a side of 1, then the triangle formed any two adjacent sides of the pentagon, the third side equals Phi.\n\nTo check we can use the law of Sines.\n\nSin A / a = Sin B / b = Sin C / c\n\nEach interior angle of a regular polygon is found by this formula:\n\n180(n - 2) / n, when n = the number of sides the polygon has.\n\nSo, for a regular pentagon\n\n180(5 - 2) / 5\n180(3) / 5\n540 / 5\n108 degrees\n\nSince the triangle we formed is an isoscles one, the other 2 angles can be found out by subtracting 108 from 180 and dividing the result by 2.\n(180 - 108)/2 = 72/2 = 36 degrees\n\nSin 108 / Phi = Sin 36 / 1\n\nThe formula for Phi is:\n5 ^ .5 * .5 + .5\n\nArcSin(Sin 108 / (5 ^ .5 * .5 + .5)) = \n= ArcSin(0.9510565163 / 1.618033989) = \n= ArcSin(0.5877852523) = 36

What is the equation to find the number of paths in a network containing 'n' nodes (2 way & 1 way paths)

I am not sure if I got the correct meaning of your question, but I guess the answer, if you are asking the number of possible paths in such a network, is 2*n*(n-1) in the case of one-way paths and n*(n-1) when talking of two-way paths.\n\nThe reason is that, in the one-way case, each of the n nodes may be linked to any of the resting (n-1) nodes in one of the two possible ways, making 2*n*(n-1). In the case of two way paths, only one path linking each of the nodes exists thus the n*(n-1) number.\n\nYou may be asking the number of possible networks, which would be a more interesting problem. If this is so, please ask another question.

By which software Cartoon picture are made for any ..........?

Cartoon pictures involve lots of techniques. There are two different software categories basic and professional. Basic Softwares are usually available easily searcable. For example Flash MX is an animation package one can create from basic to pro but to publish an animated story made in Flash MX, it is necessary to have a video conversion software and a CD writing software.\nProfessional animated movies are made by combined and individual approach. Pro animated pictures require special industrial softwares not available to individual.\nPixar a firm has made many animated movies and they use their special technology held to them only.\nBelow I have put a link to better understand your question.


What will the Houston Texans do with the 1st pick in the NFL Draft?

They'd be dumb not to draft Reggie Bush. They just signed Carr to a big contract so there's not need for Vince Young. Yes, they have Domanik Davis but lots of NFL teams have two good backs these days. Look at Dever (Tatum Bell and Mike Anderson) and Kansas City (Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson). Reggie Bush is going to be a great running back and the Texans can't afford to pass up on him.

It might help.


This all dates back to the Ancient Babylonians who liked to count in base 60. Ratios of 6, 12, 60, and 360 were seen by them as being 'round' numbers in the same way that we use base 10 and see 5, 10, 100 etc as useful numbers to divide things up into. \n\nSee: http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/ HistTopics/Babylonian_and_Egyptian.html \n\nThe Babylonians divided the sky into the 12 signs of the Zodiac, and a circle into 360 degrees. They divided the day and night each into 12 hours (although in many time systems the lengths of these varied between summer and winter! Babylon was rather nearer the equator than Liverpool, so they didn't get too confused with this). The hour was split into 60 minutes and a minute into 60 seconds. \n\nAll these numbers have survived for 4000 years, despite the fact that we have changed our numbering system to base 10! In England, when I was young, we still measured with feet, each divided into 12 inches. The Americans still do! [By the way, do you know where the mile comes from? It's Roman, not Babylonian!] \n\nThe year is nearly 360 days long and the Babylonians split it into 12 months. Other civilizations based their calendar on the moon and had 13 months. We still have problems with this today because Easter is based on the lunar calendar and migrates around the Julian calendar in a complex way. Chinese new year is still based on the Lunar calendar

Wat happens inside SCR when it goes frm forward block 2 on state,wat is d physics behind this?

I have been taught by my old-timer physics teacher that an SCR is a diode with an insulating space between the P and N layers.  This insulating space is the gate.  An electric field exists when no voltage is applied to the gate, keeping the forward-biased diode from conducting.  But a small current injected into the gate breaks down the field keeping the diode off.  An avalanche between the P and N junctions then commences and the SCR is ON.  The feild cannot reestablish itself until the SCR is REVERSE biased and the gate current is brought to Zero.

- Hindus are Indians. I mean the people who lived in India was called as Hindus/Hindustani's and British by Indians according to geographic location.\n- If you are pointing about the religion which widely practiced in India then Coversion to Hinduism is very rare.\n- Because it refuses the rights to various sections of people.\n- Like Dowries, Suicide with fire on the death of husbands and more and more forced to women and the females were treated as slaves.\n- Hinduism has thousands of castes where upper castes only can offer prayer in temples.\n- Lower casts peoples denied any rights on education and not allowed to get good jobs.\n- The topic on the SIN of Hinduism is greater to explain and its outof contest now.\n- So, the conversion to Hinduism is very very rare case where a interreligion girl who did love marriage with a Hindu boy may be forced to convert to Hinduism.\n- There is history where tens of thousands of hindus are converting to Christianity and Islam.\n-------------------------

An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. He (and it is usually he) tries to start arguments and upset people.\n\nTrolls see Internet communications services as convenient venues for their bizarre game. For some reason, they don't "get" that they are hurting real people. To them, other Internet users are not quite human but are a kind of digital abstraction. As a result, they feel no sorrow whatsoever for the pain they inflict. Indeed, the greater the suffering they cause, the greater their 'achievement' (as they see it). At the moment, the relative anonymity of the net allows trolls to flourish.\n\nWhen you try to reason with a troll, he wins. When you insult a troll, he wins. When you scream at a troll, he wins. The only thing that trolls can't handle is being ignored.


should I be going through emotional breakdowns after a month from quiting smoking?

Your brain has been used to being one way for so long, removing that stimulant suddenly has to be a bit of a shock.  I'd say it's reasonable to go through some emotional distress while you're mind adjusts to functioning without the "drug".  Just stick with it and you'll be ok eventually.  I'm not a doctor or anything, just speaking from personal experience and observation.

well, these systems are different for historical reasons - something was decided on as a standard in one part of the world and something else, at the same time, in a different part of the world.  it's just like driving on the right vs. left.. they're different, and incompatible, and it's a massive pain in the rectum.\n\nbut like driving, changing either system over to the other requires overcoming a massive amount of social inertia and a huge infrastructure cost - everyone would have to replace their appliances/cars, power-distribution systems/traffic signals would all have to be replaced.  and because of the nature of these systems, you cannot "phase in" a change - it would all have to switch at the same time in one ugly go.\n\nfunctionally there is no real difference in using 50 or 60 hz.  \n\nhowever, a different voltage has its advantages and disadvantages.  240V distribution is considerably less safe than 120V - get across 120V and you can be electrocuted for sure, but it's far far more dangerous to be electrocuted by 240V.  so safety is one factor that favors a lower voltage.\n\non the other hand, for a fixed requirement of energy usage, a higher voltage will require a lower current.  this is easy to see if you look at the equation for power in an electric circuit, P = VI.  double the voltage and you halve the current.  \n\nthey tell you not to plug a lot of energy-hungry appliances into a single outlet because doing so increases the amount of current that flows through your household wiring - too much can cause the wire to get hot and melt, possibly starting a fire and certainly causing costly damage.  so a higher voltage power distribution system will be generally cheaper (less current = smaller wires = less material costs - this is part of the reason that long-distance transmission lines are stepped up to 120 kV) and less prone to failures from overloading.  so that is an argument that lends itself to choosing a higher voltage.\n\nso, both have their ups and downs - ultimately i think the choice is pretty arbitrary, but the different standards are going to cripple any movement towards a global society.


how can i get the guy I like to pay attention to me? I really want to go out but I dont know how to talk to im

try to be yourself and flirt wit him a lot. laugh at his dumb jokes if hes a class clown. dont try to be someone you aint.


The Sun is the only star in the Solar System, otherwise we would see 2 suns instead of one.\n\nI believe what you mean is Sheliak, which is located on top of 33 degrees, 21 minutes, and 46 seconds N latitude.


Find a good therapist.  A psychologist would be a good person to talk to.  Check with your insurance provider to see whick doctors they'll take and start calling those doctors.  His issue might not be anger, but a manifestation of anxiety.

baby has a perfect round sore what could it be?

this sounds like it could be whats called a ring worm , no it is not actually a worm ! its is a type of fungus however that is highly contagiouse ,you sould take your baby to the doctor because this well only grow bigger and if the area is in the scalp your child will require a special shampoo , if the spot is on some other area of the body you can purchase antifungal shaves that well help to heal the area , but it is safest to check with you doctor to first be sure that it is ring worm , and second to know if its safe to use an over the counter med . on your baby .   these are very common among children ! if you child is in day care its very posiable that this is where this could have came from , also you can contract them from your pets , and in rare cases dirt.  i hope i helped you and your little one !


YES, GIVE IT A COUPLE OF MONTHS.  GO OUT AND HAVE A GOOD TIME.......BE FREE!!!!!
