tring toget small business grant but can not find where i left off at ,from gov.grants?

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html\n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.\n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html

How do I setup a LCD Monitor from my VGA connection?

Depends on the monitor. If it has a D-sub then it can go in the regular outlet. The other type of connection is a DVI, although a fair amount of LCDs still have D-Sub connection. If it is a DVI, you will need an adapter like this:\nhttp://www.partstore.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductSKU=2450834&s=sspro

How can I do a Simple Machine project?  4 th grade science project about geers, pullies, levers.compound simpl

If you get two cotton reels and string one to a weight and ine to, say, the top of the desk, then you can put diferent amounts of loops of string round each on and make a simple pulley.\n\nTo do levers all you need is a screvdriver and a pot of paint thatv you can't open. Ask your teacher to try and open the paint. when he cant, take the screwdriver and put it under the lid and prize it off. this is a lever because it makes the work required smaller but the distance greater.

Can I ignore warning messages from my compiler?

Sure. But it reduces the speed and efficiency of your program. Eg. You declare a variable called iPx as integer. But you dont use it at all. Then it just occupies space in RAM and reduces speed. So it is a NO PROBLEM to ignore warning messages. But good programmers don't. It's kinda uncivilized I may say.


Do you think it was right that Allen Iverson was not invited to play on the US Olympic Basketball team?

What a good question. Heck no that isn't right. He is one of the greatest players ever. He has more heart than anyone out there. He goes out there and does what Kobe, Lebron, Carmello(SP?), and any other guy on the court and he is a foot or more shorter and 100 pounds lighter. He would have been one of my top choices. I feel bad because he is so loyal to Phili and he will probably never get a ring. I have mad respect and luv for Allen "The Answer" Iverson.\n\nIf you are a big fan of him go get the book "Only the strong survive". I hardly knew anything about him. After I read that book I became a huge fan.

Don't loose your hope. Second, stop looking for him. Try to meet men without hoping them to be available or Mr, Right. \n\nIf you expect to find Mr, Right you never will. None of us are perfect.\n\nSecond, don't worry if they're taken. Relationships aren't forever, people break up, get divorced and die, so there are good people becoming single all the time.\n\nRelax and it will get to you once you've stopped looking.

It's true that you only get hypnotised if you want to.\nHypnotism is really a somewhat fancy word for saying that your mind is more open to suggestions.

gas turbine ambient temperature high output power reduced. to coolor not to cool?

It is very common to install an inlet air cooler on gas turbines. Most are evaporative type. The economics of this is strictly a matter of how many hours a year will the turbine output be increased by this cooling, its value, and the cost to install and operate the cooler. In places that are very hot and dry, this is a easy choice. In Alaska type environments it is questionable.


Can democraty work in Irak? And where are all the WMD?

Question to anyone that knows about losing weight and nutrition!!?

Stay below 60 grams of carbohydrates and between 1200 to 1500 calories. Less than that will make your metabolism slow down. Drink lots of water. Try to eat at least every 3 hours, and do some moderate exercise to keep metabolism going. Don't overdo the diet or the exercise as your body will either slow itself down on start breaking up muscle fiber for its energy. Good luck!

How does a flower continue to grow & bloom even after getting plucked off a plant?

Because unlike animals things happen more slowly in plants. So once picked the plant starts dying - just over a longer period of time. As food and moisture is drawn up from the stem the plant can still take on food and drink for a limited period of time. The bud will bloom for 2 reasons. The first is its programmed to do so, and the 2nd (and probably more interesting) is that is stress response of the plant. It 'understands' that its in a high stress environment (i.e. it has been removed from its source of food and energy (roots and leaves) so it speeds up its development. This is to try and get the flower to open and where applicatable turn to seed. Its actually pretty much like what happens in the autumn from some plants anyway, just faster.

I want to disable dell dvd/cd-rom; will this prevent the cpu from starting.?

Dell Computers can disable the CD-ROM drives in the BIOS setup, just hit F2 after turning the computer on. Just change the Secondary master drive to "Off", "None" or equivalent. Then, you can enter a password in the BIOS setup screen so he can't go in and change it.\n\nThe only way to reset the password without knowing it would be to take out the battery, unplug the pc, and short the cmos jumper on the motherboard.  Let's hope he doesn't read this or figure that out!


what is a prodrome and why does this occur before a migraine?

When many people think "Migraine" they think only of the pain of Migraine. In reality, a Migraine episode consists of far more. The typical Migraine episode actually consists of four parts, referred to as phases or components. It's important to note that not every Migraineur experiences all four phases. Also, episodes can vary with different phases experienced during different episodes. The four phases of a Migraine episode are: \n\nProdrome \nAura \nHeadache \nPostdrome \nThe Prodrome\nThe prodrome (sometimes called preheadache) may be experienced hours or even days before a Migraine episode. The prodrome may be considered to be the Migraineur's "yellow light," a warning that a Migraine is imminent. For the 30 to 40% of Migraineurs that experience prodrome, it can actually be very helpful because, in some cases, it gives opportunity to abort the episode. For Migraineurs who experience prodrome, it makes a solid case for keeping a Migraine diary and being aware of one's body. Symptoms typical of the prodrome are: \n\nfood cravings \nconstipation or diarrhea \nmood changes - depression, irritability, etc. \nmuscle stiffness, especially in the neck \nfatigue \nincreased frequency of urination

Why do men have nipples and what's the use? Please explain in detail.?

"To tell you the truth, nobody really knows." http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_093.html\n\n"Men and women are mammals (from the Latin mamma breast) a species that have breasts and feeds its young with milk. The human embryo has tissue that will evolve into breasts. Both male and female babies are born with nipples and ducts intact. It is the presence of genes that direct hormones to differentiate the breast tissue. The Y chromosome stimulates hormones such as testosterone to form male features."\nhttp://www.plasticsurgery4u.com/male_plastic_surgery/why_men_have_nipples.html

Are there any honest and legit at home work opportunities out there?

Most people who work at home and are successful are doing one of two things - getting paid a commission on everyone they convince to join the program (also known as MLM or pyramid plans) OR they have their own business. Your own business is something you create yourself, not find on the internet. You create it based on your skills, your passions not on what someone else tells you is the GREATEST thing going.\n\nIf you are looking at one of the endless "opportunities" out there be careful - most are scams. Here are a few questions you should ask to help figure out if the one you are looking at is for real or not.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n* Who will pay me?\n* When will I get my first paycheck?\n* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n* What will I get for my money?

If genetics and diet play a role in breast size then why are there pills and creams promising bigger boobs?

Advertisers prey on peoples insecurities about their bodies especially in this health and fitness crazed society today.

It is how the body carries and distributes this fat that can also have an affect on ones breast size.

does a triangular pyramid have a pair of parallel sides?

There is no possible way that a triangle has a pair of parallel sides.

how much does one cubic yard of concrete weigh?

Each mix design for concrete will vary the weight and density of the mix. Air entrainment, water to cement ratio, coarse stone% and fine aggregate%, cement content, admixture content, fly ash substitution all contribute to the variation in weight. I do agree that 150 lbs per cubic foot is a recognized average when calculating concrete weight. since there is 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, (150 lbs x 27 cubic feet) one cubic yard equals 4050 lbs or 2.025 english tons.

hey is/ was anyone else here a GEOGRAPHY major in college?  if so what do you do for a living?

I have an MA in geography. I worked as a cartographer in publishing for a short time, then went into K-12 education for personal reasons. I've been known to teach a class in geography at the local community college.\n\nThe folks I knew from the old department work as cartographers, professors, GIS analysts. Some of them have gotten other degrees, like law or MBA. Some work for government agencies, like Land and Natural Resources, for instance, or the Coast Guard. \n\nOne undergraduate geography major I know cannot divulge the name of the federal agency (based in Langley, VA) that she works for. Nor can she tell me what she does for a living, but I hypothesize that she analyzes aerial photographs taken in countries of dry climate and particular interest to the US government. A former grad school classmate is on the ground in one of those countries through his longtime commitment to a US military reserve organization. Another one is a peer counselor in drug rehab, but you know, it happens.

Is Faith in God A Blind Faith or is there physical evidence that there is a God?

Blind faith is for the belief in no god.\n\nThe invisible things of creation are understood by the things that are made (Romans 1:20).  Professors seek to be thought of as wise (verse 22) but they profess evolution (verse 23).  We should prove all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21).  If you have not yet proven the existence of God, that would be a good project to pursue.


What happens when you eat/drink extra protein, but skip the gym for a few days?

Your body will use the protein, calories etc that it can use. You should continue with your diet without any deviation even on your off days. Remember, you break down your muscles in the gym and they recover and grow when you rest them. So keep doing your protien as normal.

how can i know if a guy (who was my ex) still likes me or over me?

Yes you are making a big deal. Can't you take a hint? He doesn't want to be with you, I don't mean to sound like a b*tch but it's true. He's telling you "oh I'm leaving" yet he doesn't leave.\n\nJust get over him, he's too much of a damn coward to give you the real reason. Forget him.


Hw can I live without having any food rest of my life?

Actually some patients are not able to eat food, and get their nutrion via a treatment called TPN. Check out this website:


I can certainly see why you would be discouraged.  Students who disregard the necessity of academic honesty poison the environment for others.  Speaking as a professor, I would want to be told.  I would regard your report as a good example of academic honesty, and I would do my best to discourage further plagiarism on the part of all students.\n\nHowever, it is quite possible that the professor already knows! (We've gotten quite good at detecting these things.) But that should not discourage you from informing the professor. \n\nBest wishes, and keep your integrity.  It pays off in the long run.

This entry was entirely cut and pasted from the source listed at the end of this entry...\n\nFor a few years after he left MST3K, Joel did some script doctoring with writer Nell Scovelle (executive producer at "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch") punching up scripts for several big-name features, including the hit George of the Jungle. The duo also wrote the direct-to-video Disney flick, Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves. It's unclear if he is still doing any script doctoring, but he was also listed as one of the writers for the short-lived comedy gameshow You Don't Know Jack. At one point, we heard that Joel was developing a series for Noggin cable channel. Nothing seems to have come to fruition. In 2001, Joel said he was working on a movie project with Sam Simon of The Simpsons, but nothing more has been heard of the project. For several years he operated a production company, Visual Story Tools, with his brother Jim. It's now unclear if that company still exists. Most recently, Joel and Jim joined the staff of the Jimmy Kimmel Live  TV show. In addition to being a writer/producer, Joel is a "digital-effects director" doing live visual effects for the show.\n\nJoel also filmed scenes for a live-action, science-fiction CD-ROM game entitled Darkstar. Those appearing with him in the project include Trace Beaulieu, Frank Conniff, Mary Jo Pehl, Josh "J. Elvis" Weinstein and Beth "Beez" McKeever. It is scheduled to be released in 2004.

Don't you just love staring at the clouds because of the different shapes you can form?

Losing yourself in the skies and clouds are natures gift to us. I've seen objects, faces and "calming" designs. Cloud formations are majestic, serene, power and forces you to daydream and go to places only in your heart and mind. Clouds bring out the best in ones mind and with its changing of texture and color warn us of danger. A great "present" given to all by Mother nature.Give thanks, enjoy it and protect it.

do nursing assistants need malpractice insurance?

It's not required, but if you can find a medical malpractice insurer to write you a policy you should buy it.   Don't ever assume your employer is ever going to carry your liability because if, in a suit, you are found to be solely responsible, they will come after you and once they take the small amount of liability in your homeowner's policy (usually up to $50k), then they'll come after the rest of your assets.\nAn easy way to protect more of that is to buy an umbrella liability policy.  If you already have a homeowner's policy, you can usuallly get a $1-mil umbrella for under $150 per year.

Why women suffer from migraine more than men?

Migraine is an inherited disease. Like many diseases, there is a gender difference. Migraine is three times more common in women than men. This has to do with the second most common trigger of migraine - the menstrual cycle, the first being stress. \n\nPrior to menarche (when young women begin menstruating) migraine is actually more common in boys than girls. However once puberty begins, the percentage of women with migraines increases to a peak ratio of 3:1 as mentioned above. This ratio tends to decrease with age especially after menopause. However even after menopause migraine remains more common in women.\n\nThe trigger of the menstrual cycle seems to have something to do with fluctuating estrogen levels, especially falling estrogen levels. Estrogen levels fall during ovulation and menstruation. These usually are the two most common times in the menstrual cycle when women will experience migraines. \n\nDuring pregnancy when estrogen levels are high and stable migraines tend to improve. They also tend to improve after menopause when estrogen levels are low and stable. At the beginning of menopause however, when estrogen levels can fluctuate wildly, migraines may actually worsen.\n\nI hope this answers your question.\n\nSincerely,\n\nGary A. L'Europa MD\nFellow of the American Headache Society\nDirector, NeuroHealth\nMedical Director, The NeuroHealth Headache Center\n227 Centerville Rd\nWarwick, RI 02886

That's a strangely uneven number.\n\nIn any case, if I were to suddenly get that much money, I would do the following.\n\n1) Build my dream house on about 10 acres in the country complete with an orchard, workshop and guest houses.

(Yes, I know there will still be well over 3 million left, but I have simple tastes.)

I would respect her for the person that she is and be a good friend to her and not take her where shes not ready to go yet. I wouldnt want to taint whats left of her childish wonder and innocents, or whats left of it. I would do everything possible to let her know you think shes a amazing person but yet keep healthy boundries, what would her parents do if you crossed that line? Probably bannish you from ever seeing her again. At this point i would stay close to her, but not close enough to touch, she has alot of growing up to do before shes ready for the kind of relationship your ready for. Just let her know that you care and she can come to you with all of her problems. But make sure you dont create any problems for her by showing her how you feel completely. I know its a complex situation, but you can handle your feelings being trapped inside for a few years that what she can handle knowing how you feel and not being able to act on them, at least with out any serious consequences. I hope it all works out for you in the long run, but make sure you stay far away from romance for another 5 years or so :) for both of your interests, but by all means be a good positive influacne for her journey threw adolecance, it can be a rocky road :)


Any body seen the worlds fastest indian? Any good?

I saw the movie on opening day. It is now my all time favorite movie. If you like anything that goes fast, or you like motorcycles of any type, or if you like Anthony Hopkins or if you like New Zealand you will probably love the movie. If you don't like that stuff, you might like the movie. If you are a movie critic, you might think it is just okay. I would see it again and I would buy the DVD.\n\nJust as a warning, the movie has inspired me to go to Bonneville. I am going to try to go this year to check it out and hopefully I can plan to race next year.

can we elect a new president while at war?

Yes, we can elect a new President while at war and have done so several times. In the 1960s, Americans were so fed up with our wartime leadership that Johnson dropped out of the race because he knew he could not win re-election, and Nixon was voted in. And if the War on Terror continues, we will be electing a new President in November 2008.\n\nEDIT: dhc_hiker,\n\nPlease get your liberal spewing straight.\n\n1) You asked who we are at war with.\n2) Just because the PRESIDENT says we are at war doesn't make it so.\n3) Then you say we need a country to go to war with OR THIS WAR WILL NEVER END.\n\nFirst you say there is no war but end up saying the war will never end. You can't have your cake and eat it, too. Grow some independent thought and take a stand one way or the other.\n\nGet it straight, Jocko.

Are miracles a focused result of conscious practical  use of quantum theory?

It's curious that you associate miracles to quantum theory. As your reasoning seems to go, a mystery can be explained only by adding up another mystery.\nLet alone quantum mechanics, that is a serious theory, did you ever think that miracles may not exist at all?\nThe James Randi Educational Foundation offers a prize of one million dollars to anybody who is able to show a miracle or any other kind of phenomenon not explained by ordinary science. To date, nobody has retired that prize.

August 15, 1945, marked Victory over Japan Day or V-J Day, taking a name similar to Victory in Europe Day, which was generally known as V-E Day. In Japan, the day is known as, Shusen-kinenbi, which literally means the "Memorial day for the end of the war". The day marks the end of the Burma Campaign, the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Pacific War with the U.S., and other military conflicts in Asia. This is commemorated as Liberation Day in nations such as Korea, partly due to participation of her exiles in War against Japan over 40 years. See Surrender of Japan for historical circumstances surrounding Japan's surrender.\n\nAt noon Japan standard time on that day, Emperor Hirohito's announcement of Japan's acceptance of the terms of the Potsdam Declaration was broadcast to the Japanese people via radio. Earlier the same day, the Japanese government advised the Allies of the surrender by sending a cable to U.S. President Harry S. Truman via the Swiss diplomatic mission in Washington.\n\nSince Japan was the last Axis Power to surrender and V-J Day followed V-E Day by three months, V-J Day marked the end of World War II.\n\nThe formal Japanese signing of the surrender terms took place on board the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945 and at that time Truman actually declared September 2 to be VJ-Day. [1]\n\nV-J Day is now sometimes referred to as V-P Day (Victory in the Pacific Day) to bring it in line with V-E Day where the major enemy power, Germany, was not singled out in the way V-J Day did to Japan. However, since no other power was an Axis belligerent in the Pacific, such alteration of nomenclature seems unnecessary to many.\n\nIn the United States, V-J Day is commemorated on August 14 since the news of the surrender broke on that date in U.S. time zones.\n\nV-J Day is still a state holiday in Rhode Island. The holiday's official name is "Victory Day," and it is observed on the second Monday of August.\n\nIn Australia, the name V-P Day was used apparently from the outset. The Canberra Times of August 14, 1945, clearly states reference to "VP Day" celebrations, and a public holiday for "VP Day" was gazetted by the government in that year according to the Australian War Memorial. Nevertheless, the use of "VP Day" is a subject of controversy in Australia and is seen by some as an instance of political correctness.


Which force determines the chemical properties of an atom?

Actually, in contrast to the other answers, many forces determine the chem properties of an atom:\nThey are as follows:\nThe electrostatic forces of repulsion between electrons and electrons: electrons in the electron cloud exert repulsive forces on one another\n\nThe electrostatic force of repulsion between protons and protons: protons within the nucleus all have the same charge and therefore repel one another\n\nThe force of attraction between protons and electrons: This force is vital because otherwise the electrons would fly off. This is similar to the force between the sun and the earth.\n\nThe strong nuclear force: this force is necessary to keep the nucleus from flying apart. Think about it: how does the nucleus keep the repulsive forces of the protons in check-by exerting a nuclear force compressing the protons.\n\nThe complex interplay between these forces results in an equilibrium that gives each atom its stability and hence chemical properties.

I need advice on how i can be a better christian?

Love God more than you fear the Devil.  Too many people spend more time thinking about Satan than about Jesus.\n\nActually, Jesus said it best, I think:  "This is the Law and the prophets:  that you should treat others as you would have them treat you, and love your neighbor as much as you love yourself."  And "Don't judge others, that you not be judged yourself."\n\nIf you actually read the words of Jesus (rather than the teachings of some of his followers) every day, and follow His advice the best you can, you'll do fine. \n\nAnd don't worry that you're not perfect about it.  You're not expected to be perfect about it.  Just be sincere, love God, and keep working on it.

The history of ice hockey is one of the most contested in all of sports. The city of Montreal had been traditionally credited with being the birthplace of hockey, but early paintings contest this claim; 16th-century Dutch paintings show a number of townsfolk playing a hockey-like game on a frozen canal.\n\nKingston, Ontario, and Windsor, Nova Scotia, also lay claim to its origins for similar reasons. And many think that hockey began in Virginia, the evidence of this was a post on a Williamsburg Newspaper in colonial time that recorded a snow storm and recorded hockey being played in Virginia.

What does "Quid Pro Quo" mean?  In what context would one use this phrase?

It means "something for something."\n\n============================================================\nQuid pro quo (Latin for "something for something", many times understood by English speakers as "what for what" or "tit for tat") is used to mean, in the English speaking world, a favor for a favor (in other linguistic contexts, such as Portuguese and French, it means a misunderstanding, a confusion - to take the this for a that and quid pro quo is quoted as do ut des, Latin for "I give, so that you give"). Quid pro quo is a legal term for the transaction of valued items or favours, in return for giving something of value. For a contract to be binding, it usually must involve consideration, that is, the exchange of something of quantifiable value, however, quid pro quo is widely used in the context of describing political favours, as given in apparent exchange for money. It is also widely known as a legally recognized type of sexual harassment in some countries.\n\nFor democratic public officials with special powers of government, favours given in quid pro quo constitute a breach of the public trust and a dishonest circumventing of the democratic process for special interests. In the context of political favors, quid pro quo, being secretive, may find widely varied avenues for how such transactions (believed quid pro quo) might take place. Among these are straight favours for cash transactions, political campaign contributions, third-party campaigns and related assistance, and favours for favours (quite common in government). The last, favours for favours, refers to officials of different capacities, each in league with special interests, similar or otherwise; exchanging favours, based on an estimated equality of their value.\n\nMerriam-Webster, the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (Fourth Edition), and the New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy (Third Edition) all define the Latin expression "quid pro quo" to mean "something for something." Its definition is cited as an equal exchange or substitution of goods or services.\n============================================================

It certainly is nothing to do with schizophrenia. You don't tend to find frank blood in spinal fluid, except very small amounts from where the needle has punctured the skin. What they can find in the spinal fluid is something called xanthecromia, which makes the spinal fluid look yellowish, and is the result of blood cells which have been broken down. The spinal fluid is continuous with the brain, and if there is xanthecromia (broken down red blood cells) in the spinal fluid it usually indicates an area of bleeding within the brain, most commonly something called a subarachnoid haemorrhage. You should ask the doctor about anything you don't understand.


Why is it that all of the cute girls are either pregnant or with their kids at Chucky Cheese?

Many of these "cute" girls either have no self esteem or they are too busy trying to prove to other girls that they are indeed better than them, that they sleep with the first guy that declares they're undying love to them! Women never learn...

how the genes mutate and it was carried forward  til us in just few million years from simple  molecules ?

The short answer is natural selection - once these "simple molecules" attain the ability to self replicate (there are multiple theories on how this came about because there are many ways this could have happened), the replicons with the best ability to survive and make copies of themselves make the most copies.  These then can mutate - these mutated versions then undergo the same type of natural selection for the versions most able to make copies that have a high ability to replicate.  Every novelty in evolution is made in a similar way:\nRandom differences in a population followed by\nNatural selection for the organisms best able to propogate their DNA.  \nIn this way we get cells (hold in the replication machinery and templates better)\nTissues (ability to tolerate new environments)\nSensory organs (reaction to new stimuli)\netc. \nGood luck, though fairly intuitive, this can be a very complicated topic once you try to get into specifics!


I need to find Attorney Mary Elliot in Virginia?


Why is piperidine about 1 million times stronger as a base than pyridine?

This is a very good question. \n\nThe answer is simply that the lone pair in piperidine (pKa =11) is more available compared to that of pyridine (pKa=5).\n  \nThe nitrogen lone pair of pyridine is in an sp2 hybrid orbital but it doesn't participate in the aromatic pi system nor it is involved in any resonance. \n  \nSo why then its lone pair more available? It's because the sp2 hybrid orbital (where the lone pair is) is smaller than the sp3 hybrid orbital (lone pair of piperidine) and this means that the lone pair in pyridine is closer to the nucleus. Hence, less available or less basic.

can you visually tell if blood is health by sight?

you can see if theres something severely wrong with it (if its orange, you know somethings wrong). But actual tests have to be run to see if it's perfectly healthy, you can't see all the bacteria, vitamins, etc. by sight.


what are the short term and long term effects on hallucinogens?

Hallucinogenic drugs cause both physical and psychological effects on humans. The physical effects of these drugs include: dilated pupils, elevated body temperature, increased heart rate and blood pressure, appetite loss, sleeplessness, tremors, headaches, nausea, sweating, heart palpitations, blurring of vision, memory loss, trembling, and itching. A user of hallucinogenic drugs will also experience a number of psychological alterations in the brain. These drugs may cause hallucinations and illusions as well, as the amplification of sense, and the alterations of thinking and self-awareness. It is quite possible to have a bad reaction to hallucinogenic drugs. This is referred to as a "bad trip" and may cause panic, confusion, suspicion, anxiety, and loss of control. The long-term effects of these drugs can be quite dangerous. These long-term effects may include: flashbacks, mood swings, impaired thinking, unexpected outbursts of violence and eventually possibly depression that may lead to death or suicide.

what is  Veterans Admin  on a us navy base?

There is no place on a military installation that will get involved with a civil matter such as a child support order.  You need to hire a civilian attorney who is conversant with military law.  Child support court orders go through the servicemember's chain of command.  The command then gives the Servicemember the opportuntity to VOLUNTARILY  begin paying the child support.  If they do not, then they can forcefully make them do so.


what plates effected the eruption of mt tarwera in new zealand and why they effected them?

Mt Tarawera (check your spelling) lies between the Mayor Island Fault Belt and the North Island Shear Belt. This fault system are fractures along the subduction zone formed by the Pacific Tectonic Plate and the continental crust upon which New Zealand is located. The subduction of the Pacific Plate with the continental crust generates the heat required for volcanic magma to form, and the two fault zones provide that heated material access to the surface.


should the nhl let in more teams in the play off? Why? or Why Not?

Yes. Add two more per conference, and shorten the regular season by four games (1 1/2 weeks) to allow the time for the extra playoff round, so the whole season doesn't end later than it does now. I think they should allow more teams in because now teams are over .500 and missing the playoffs. When I grew up, it was a 21-team league, and only the really bad teams missed. This year someone in the west will probably have 90 points and miss out. These are good teams who would make the playoffs interesting. Last season (2 years ago), I think Buffalo set a record for most wins (35) for a non-playoff team, and Edmonton was close. Also, it would generate more revenue in the added playoff cities, and would make the league more attractive to TV networks (What's better than playoff hockey?).


How many of u guys expect  your girl to speak up first or make the first move?

It depends, I don't mind when a woman makes the first move. I also don't mind if she let's me do the first move.  I guess its all a part of if you want something then go out and get it and not always do we get what we want.  I am for it.  It is OK if she speaks up first and if she makes the first move.  It can's hurt.

"cpio: var/sadm/patch/115553-19/prebackout : uid too large for archive format"?

It means that the UID on the file is too large to \nfit in the header format that is currently being\nused.  [This is a case of the header being defined\nback when UID's were limited to some small value\nlike 65K.  Now that UIDs can be much larger, the\nheader isn't always big enough.]\n\nSo the "fix" is to select a different header format\nusing the -H or -c options.\n\nTo quote from the man page:\n\n  An error message is output for files whose UID  or  GID\n  are too  large  to fit in the selected header format. Use\n  -H crc or -c to create archives that allow all UID or GID\n  values.

in your country, are there subjects about the life of a hero?

Not specific courses on one hero, but a history course will cover heroes of various sorts.  For example, Harriet Tubman who freed slaves, Frederick Douglass.  In an English course, we learn about heroes in novels, some ancient times and extraordinary (Gilgamesh)  and some modern and ordinary (Lenny, of mice and men) .  Most of our stories of heroes, sadly, come from media and pop culture through movies and such

will bananas brown faster on the counter or in the refrigerator?

Bananas and bread are two foods you should never refrigerate because they go "downhill" faster if you do!  Bananas spoil faster in the fridge than on the counter.  If you want fruit to ripen faster, close it up in a brown paper sack (never plastic).

What are the products of the reaction between honey and sodium hydroxide upon heating?

First of all, you're a nut.  Or at least a guy who likes to buy new microwaves.\n\nI'm not sure there is an actual reaction between sodium hydroxide and sugar.  For the sake of chemistry, we can treat all sugar as C6H12O6.  If anything the reaction will produce carbon dioxide and water, but this happens anyway when you burn any sugar so it might be hard to separate the two processes. \n\nWill check and get back to you  :)\n\nUpdate:  See the link below.  The only thing I can find is that NaOH will oxidize glucose, though this doesn't work as well for sucrose.  I don't think heating will have any effect other than to make the reaction go faster (and it already goes pretty fast, apparently.\n\nHave you thought about a career in chemistry?  You have the right kind of mind for it -- i.e., let's throw these chemicals together and see what happens!  By the way, I would NOT try this with NaOH and any kind of acid solution.  It might be dangerous under the wrong conditions.


what type of eruption does the volcano mauna lowa have?

Mauna Loa is a shield volcano, and as such it has comparatively gentle eruptions (as compared to stratovolcanoes, such as Mt. St. Helens.)  Shield volcanoes also produce high temperature low-viscosity basaltic lava, which contributes to the eruptions being gentle (except in the case of gas in the lava, which can cause fire fountains).\nMore information on shield volcanoes can be found here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shield_volcano

What are the differences between webpages?

Ok, this could take a while.\n\n.html = usually a static webpage, no database conectivity. Stands for HyperText Markup Language.\ncss is not a webpage but is a way to 'style' a webpage. Give it colour and design. Stand for Cascading Style Sheets.\nxml is a data transfer method. It is used to trasfer data usually from a database either to another application (it is used off of the net also) or can be used directly with XSL to a webpage to style it. XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language.\nphp is a scripting language used to create dynamic websites. Usually has some kind of database on the backend so the page delivered differs depending on what variables are given to the server. PHP originally stood for Hypertext Preprocessor\nbut has had many different things associated with it.\njsp is roughly the same as php but uses java as the coding language.\nColdfusion is another way of doing dynamic sites. It is its own program and usually uses .cfm for a file sextension.\nASP stands for Active Server Pages. Again it is another method for coding dynamic, usually database driven websites. The VBScript and JavaScript versions are just different programming laguages that can be used to program it on the web server.\n\nphp, jsp and coldfusion are normally Unix server based.\nASP (any language) is usually microsoft server based.\nThe techs in the above two lines are all server side languages. Meaning they run on the web server to create the web page 'on the fly'.\n\nPhew!

Where can I find huge translucent crystals?

Answering the question would be easier if I knew which type of mineral you were looking for.  Try looking on this link:\n\nhttp://www.rockhounds.com/rockshop/table.shtml\n\nIf you are looking to purchase, there are many people willing to take your money.  For information and more reasonable prices, there are rockshops (non new age) sprinkled through out the country, and the 2 best gems shows are in Denver & Tuscon.\n\nThe next issue is size.  In different mineral species, different sizes are considered large.  For example, quartz crystals up to the size of a gallon jug are found in Mt Ida, AK while selenites have been found in Mexico up to 20 ft tall (note that these are single crystals, not undifferentiated masses).  The largest rhodocrosite is about 6.5 inches per face (in the Denver Natural History Museum), the largest calcite is around 2 foot long (Shifferdecker Museum in Joplin, Mo).  With my friends, I have found a 14" double terminated calcite in Okhlahoma, and a nearly 2 foot selenite in Kansas.\n\nSolution minerals are more typically accessable when compared  with igneous ones, but all the hugest crystals are of igneous origin.  Most of the world record holders are so big thay can never be moved from the mine, unless destroyed.\nIf you seek mineral materiel without reference to single crystals, rough is available in masses shipped in either oil barrels or box cars, usually for industry or amature lapidary work.\n\nIf you are seeking gem materiel, it is unlikely that you can find it for a price within reason, even the synthetics. \n\nIf you are seeking geodes, the warsaw shale is the place to look.  It extends through out the midwest.\n\nThere are groups of rockhounds all over, and we go forth to find exactly what you are seeking.  However, there is actual physical labor involved, and possibly travel costs.  You might consider also speaking a professor with the local college in your area.


An L is an inductor; a C is a capacitor. Connected together, they form a resonant circuit, i.e., one that oscillates at a characteristic frequency (1/sqrt(L*C) rad/sec). As a car detector, the L-C circuit buried in the roadbed works as a metal detector. Metal in the car couples to the magnetic field in the inductor, reducing the field through eddy-current loss, which reduces the effective inductance. The resulting frequency increase is detected by the circuitry associated with the L-C resonator.\nNote that ferrous metal may increase inductance in some L-C oscillators, decreasing frequency (ref. 1). However ref. 2 says that the roadbed detectors work on the eddy-current inductance reduction principle.\nEDIT: It seems another answerer has seconded my citation of ref. 2 by quoting from it at length, verbatim. How reassuring.

Did samuel adams get caught dumping the tea in the harbor?

The British tried catching him at the Battle of Lexington and Concord, but because Paul Revere and others warned him, the British did not catch him.\n\n"Samuel Adams was born in Boston, Massachusetts on September 27, 1722. He was a leader of the fight against British colonial rule, and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Adams was a cousin of John Adams who became President of the United States.\n\nSamuel Adams graduated in 1743 from Harvard College with a Master of Arts degree. After college he entered private business, and throughout this period was an outspoken participant in Boston town meetings. When his business failed in 1764 Adams entered politics full-time, and was elected to the Massachusetts legislature. He lead the effort to establish a committee of correspondence that published a Declaration of Colonial Rights he had written.\n\nAdams was a vocal opponent of several laws passed by the British Parliament to raise revenue in the American Colonies, including the Tea Act which gave a British trading company a monopoly on the import of tea into the colonies. This opposition reached its peak on December 16, 1773 when a group of Bostonians dumped a British cargo of tea into Boston Harbor. This act of resistance is referred to as the Boston Tea Party.\n\nThe British Parliament responded to the "Boston Tea Party" by passing a set of laws referred to as the "Intolerable Acts." These laws included the closing of Boston Harbor and the restriction town meetings. Adams then urged a general boycott of British trade by the American Colonies.\n\nIn 1774 the Massachusetts legislature send Adams and four others as its representatives to the First Continental Congress. Adams served Massachusetts again at the Second Continental Congress where he was an advocate for independence and confederation for the American Colonies."


I don't want the usual "who giveth this bride"?

Your officiant could just skip the question all together.  It was not in the ceremony for my wedding.  My dad was my officiant and he gave me away.  I was concerned how this would work, but he said that the question was not in the order of worship that he uses, so there was no problem.  Unless you specifically want the question, ask that your officiant skip it, if it is in his usual ceremony.

Should controversial names or symbols of pro athete teams (ie."Redskins", the confederate flag) be changed?

I disagree vehemently with those who have already posted their replies.  Mascots that purport to "honor" Native folks are not considered by the Native people they "represent" to be honorable at all.  (Take a look at the Cleveland Indians baseball cap and tell me if you think it's honoring anyone.) It's mockery.  Blatant racist mockery.  My colleague Charlene Teters has a great illustration of this issue on this website:\nhttp://www.aics.org/NCRSM/index.htm\n\nThe fact is that this country, from its very beginnings, was founded on exterminating, or assimilating, or otherwise eliminating Native people.  The fact that sports teams and non-Native fans say that these offensive stereotypes are "all in good fun" or "meant to be respectful" or simply "a tradition," doesn't take away (or even show an awareness of!) the history of racism and oppression against the Native peoples of this country. \n\nDo we name teams "the Alabama Darkies" or "The New York Jewboys?"  No, we don't, even though those racist terms are part of American history.  Why, then, do people still think "Redskins" is acceptable?  "Redskin" is precisely analogous to the N-word as applied to African-Americans.\n\nThese so-called "traditions" are merely direct reflections and symptoms of the American tradition of cultural genocide against Native peoples.  And these "long-standing traditions" are usually very recent phenomena, at most, 100 or so years old.  Ask any Native person if anything only 100 years old is a "tradition."  For Native folks, that's an INNOVATION.\n\nAnd one more thing: the children.  Native peoples in the US today have a hard enough time teaching their children to be proud of their heritage and identity when they are, in many nations, surrounded by poverty, unemployment, and various social ills.  These depictions are yet another means by which Native kids are made to feel bad about themselves.  If the US was a country that really cared about its children, it would stop this practice immediately, on every level.\n\nAs a society, we have progressed in that we no longer accept racist cartoons of Asian peoples and African peoples in our mainstream culture.  It's long past time that we eliminate these outdated racist practices in regard to Native peoples.\n\nAnyway, that's my opinion.\n\nSee the website below and scroll down to "statements and essays."  You'll get some really great information.

Do i have t run the antivirus scanner/ spyware scanner every week?

It is a good idea to run your computer as a non-administrative user.  However it does not completely protect you, so you should not let that lull you into a false sense of security.\n\nMost anti-virus programs (such as Norton or McAfee) will automate weekly updates and scans.  Microsoft anti-spyware allows you to do the same.

Why does a candle flame get extinguished when you blow at it.?

Blowing moves the reaction area (flame) away from the source of reactants (hot wick).  This not only deprives the flame of needed reactants but prevents thermal feedback from the flame to the wick.  If the flame propagation speed were higher it would be harder to blow out (oxy-acetylene is harder to blow out than a candle.)

if you are performing miscellaneous services as a self employed individual in california at wh?

dba stands for "doing business as".\n\nIf you are doing business under a name other than your own, you must file a dba so people know who they're really doing business with if they wish to find out.  If not, you don't.  For instance, if your name is Joe Smith and your business name is "Joe Smith Enterprises", no dba is required.  If you're doing business as "VGA Construction", yes you do need to file a dba.\n\nWhether or not you have to obtain a license or permit depends on the service you are performing.  I suggest you find out the government agency that regulates the business/service you conduct and they can tell you what is required as far as California's requirements.\n\nYes, all government requirements should be accomplished before providing your services to the public..  If not, you could be in a lot of trouble.\n\nAs a self-employed person, you will have to pay FICA either on your wages or earnings.  How much will be subject to FICA will be determined by the business form you choose and how you manage the cash flow. There are many business form choices, such as sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, limited partnership, C corporation, S corporation, etc.  All have differing tax rules and you have no flexibility in some, a lot in others.  Just because there may be only one person in your business, it doesn't automatically follow that your formation should be as sole-proprietorship.  In fact, that's the worst possible form in the case of a one person company if you wish to protect your personal assets from possible business lawsuits in the future.\n\nI would suggest you go to the Nolo.com website for books on business formation.  Some of their books are general in nature but others are specific to California.  I am not a California resident (I live in Texas) but I have a bachelor's degree in business.  Plus I've done my own additional research for my own business pursuits.  Anything you need to verify on the subjects you asked about can be checked at the California Secretary of State's website or the IRS' website or in one of the business books sold at Nolo.com.\n\nGood luck!
