When I was in boot camp, our drill instructor (who happened to be a Colorado state high school wrestling champion) gave us a routine that worked great, worked quickly, and didn't require an investment in equipment. It did help to have a second person.\nThe routine requires one person to lay on their back with bottoms of their legs sitting up on a bench, like an ottoman.  \nNow, for two solid minutes, do as many sit-ups as you possibly can.  Try to hit eighty, (if you can, try to hit one hundred).  If there is a second person, they should be holding your legs.\nTake a break of three minutes.  Swap places if you are working out with someone. Let them do the two minute drill.  \nOn the next round, while back in the position, do ten sit-ups as slowly as you can.  Make it real slow.  Try to make it all the way up. \nCycle between those two routines three times.  Your stomach will tighten up in about ten days or so.

Is it possible to quit the Air Force during basic training or right after?

We had two airmen who left during basic from my flight for being gay.  Typically, the Air Force has so little invested in you at that stage of your career that it makes no sense for them to do anything other than give you an administrative discharge and send you on your way.  You could also simply fail the physical requirements, or a number of other tests they give you.  "Failure to adapt to military life" is a valid reason for discharge as well.

how to I do a line by line post when starting up my computer to find out how much memory I have?

I assume what you're talking about is the amount of RAM available to your system, which can be found out without doing a reset of your computer. Go to Start > Run and then type in "dxdiag". The amount of memory available will be on the first page.


Is the Maxtor Serial ATA/150 100GB Hard Drive compatible with the Dell GXa?

No. If you're talking about the older 100 - 200 mghz Dell desktop systems, they do not handle serial ATA.. \n\nMost likely if your dell is more then 2 years old, it will not take this drive (definitely will not if it is more than 3 years old). They require a SATA connection. Instead look for an IDE drive. Any IDE drive should work, although you may not be able to take advantage of the transfer speed.


How can I compress a 300mb plus xvid file to go below 100mb? Any software for that?

I would try Dr. DiVX from www.divx.com, you can reencode any compressed avi file to a lower bitrate.  Your quality will suffer but you should be able to get it to 100 MB.

does diabetes worry more about sugars or cabuhidrates in a diet?

You need to speak to a registered diatition. In the meanwhile a great resource for you would be the diabetic exchange diet.  \nYou question is not as simple as you think.  Sugars definately need to be reduced.  Carbs should make up approx. 60 % of the AVERAGE diabetic diet. But, again, you need to speak to a diatition that can help you formulate a diet specifically for you.  Your doctor can refer you.

" HIDE PARK" ..the most famouse park in the world . where this name comes from ?

The oldest part of Hyde Park once belonged to the manor of Ebury. This land had an area of one hide (anything between 60 and 120 acres, or 0.24 to 0.49 km²), which gave the park its name.\n\nFYI: You should note that, although the park's name was derived from a unit of measure (a hide), the name of the park is spelled with a "y" instead of an "I".\n\nBTW: Pay no attention to DrShorty below. Looking up the etmology of words or the history behind why certain places and things are named the way the are is an important thing, I feel. It's good to know one's history, or history at all.


how to catch up with your house payment with out looseing it.?

Dealing with the bank is your best choice. You can usually ask for a Forbearance, if you have sufficient income to continue making payments. Ask for the Workout Department, and tell them you are willing to work something out. They may put the past-due payments at the end of the loan, or allow you to pay a little more each month to catch up the past due payments. Depending how far behind you are, this may be your solution. If you still have problems, there are other options you can explore.

who has the best deal on a secured credit card?

Probably your bank. They can usually open a secured credit card based on the amount in your savings account. It's also the safest bet for you, because it's a place where your money already is, and it's with a company you trust and already have a history with.


Does anyone else hate the Burger King commercials?

They were kind of silly and funny at first, but the King acts kind of stalker-ish, (who is really in that suit, the guy who used to be Ronald McDonald?)and that smile is odd. The worst commercial for burgers is that Paris Hilton Car Washing for Carl's Jr.


Why for a guy less than 164cm, can't be a pilot?

what are the benefits of a true sign wave inverter?

Depends on what you're running from it.  Things like computers and incandesant light bulbs won't be effected by a non-true sine wave inverter.  Fluorescent bulbs and motors will not work as efficiently without a true sine wave.  You'll probably notice the bulb or motor making more noise than usual if you run one of them on a non-true sine wave.

where do your e-mails go when you delete them?

Hi.  Typically with most userfriendly systems out there it goes like this:\n\nInbox (deleted)\nTrash Bin (complete delete)\n\nAfter the email is deleted from the trash bin, you can no longer see it unless you use special software to recover the file.  The file will still exist on the hard disk data until it is overwritten.\n\nIf this is in an online mailbox -- After you delete from the trash can the email data will reside on the servers hard disks until it is overwritten by other data.

i need to present a rememberence speech for a friend that died.. can u help?

I did that once, and it was so hard, but worth it. The best thing you can do is include an aspect from every group of people whose lives they affected. This paints a whole picture of the person and allows everyone to take part in the experience. But definitely pick those things which meant the most to you personally. It allows you to say those things you never got to say before. And whatever you say about them, pick many things that will bring smiles out of the people you are talking to, it eases the pain a little, and if you believe they are present after they pass, I'm sure they don't want everyone to suffer.


how Earth's Magnetic Field Helped to Prove Plate Tectonics?

Magnetic striping on the sea floor was used as an early proof of plate tectonics, as it showed the sea floor was spreading away from a central axis.\n\nThe following is taken from http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/vwlessons/plate_tectonics/part9.html\n\nIn the late 1950's, scientists mapped the present-day magnetic field generated by rocks on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. The volcanic rocks which make up the sea floor have magnetization because, as they cool, magnetic minerals within the rock align to the Earth's magnetic field. The intensity of the magnetic field they measured was very different from the intensity they had calculated. Thus, the scientists detected magnetic anomalies, or differences in the magnetic field from place to place. They found positive and negative magnetic anomalies. Positive magnetic anomalies are places where the magnetic field is stronger than expected. Positive magnetic anomalies are induced when the rock cools and solidifies with the Earth's north magnetic pole in the northern geographic hemisphere. The Earth's magnetic field is enhanced by the magnetic field of the rock. Negative magnetic anomalies are magnetic anomalies that are weaker than expected. Negative magnetic anomalies are induced when the rock cools and solidifies with the Earth's north magnetic pole in the southern geographic hemisphere. The resultant magnetic field is less than expected because the Earth's magnetic field is reduced by the magnetic field of the rock.\n\n     When mapped, the anomalies produce a zebra-striped pattern of parallel positive and negative bands. The pattern was centered along, and symmetrical to, the mid-ocean ridge.\n\n    A hypothesis was presented in 1963 by Fred Vine and Drummond Matthews to explain this pattern. They proposed that lava erupted at different times along the rift at the crest of the mid-ocean ridges preserved different magnetic anomalies.\n\nVine and Matthews proposed that lava erupted on the sea floor on both sides of the rift, solidified, and moved away before more lava was erupted. If the Earth's magnetic field had reversed (changed from one geographic pole to the other) between the two eruptions, the lava flows would preserve a set of parallel bands with different magnetic properties. The ability of Vine and Matthews' hypothesis to explain the observed pattern of ocean floor magnetic anomalies provided strong support for sea floor spreading.

What happens to the candle wax when it is burning?

The heat of the flame melts the wax. The wick will transport liquid wax into the flame zone (by capillary action), where it can evaporate. The flame consists of two different zones, an oxygen-rich outer layer where carbon monoxide burns with a transparent blue flame and an oxygen-poor inner core where soot particles give off the warm orange glow of a candle flame.\n\nChemically, you have a reaction of the wax (esters of fatty acid) with the air oxygen, forming carbon dioxide and water, and depending on the quality of the wick, soot from incomplete combustion.

When you valet park, are you supposed to tip when you drop off your keys AND when you pick up the car?

You should only tip when you pick up your car. Actually, I should say you should always tip the person returning your car, and it is ok to tip the person parking your car but that isn't necessary. The recommended tip is $1-2 for both parking and retrieving your car.


How do I install another hard disk? And how do I decide and make one disk master and other slave?

This is quite easy.  We'll configure your existing hard drive to be a master drive and your new one to be a slave drive.  Here's how:\n\n0. Print out this guide and any other reference material you have.\n\n1. Turn off your computer.\n\n2. Pull all of the cables out of the back, including the power chord.\n\n3. Get a screwdriver and open the case.\n\n4. Have a look around inside and look for a flat (thin) but wide grey cable going from your motherboard (the big circuit board at the bottom of your case where everything plugs in to) to your existing hard drive.\n\n5. Make sure there is a spare plug on the cable.  One of the plugs will be going into your existing hard drive.  Also make sure that there is space in the metal rack where the hard drives go, and that there are screw holes in the rack.\n\n6. Unscrew the hard drive and unplug the IDE cable (the flat grey cable) and the power cable, and remove your existing hard drive.  \n\n7. At the same end where the cable went in there will be a series of pins.  These are called 'jumper' pins and they're used to determine whether or not the device is master or slave.  Two of the pins should be covered with a thin bit of plastic that joins them together - this is called a jumper.  (see the URL in the sources section below).\n\n8. Look on the case of the hard drive for a picture of which pins to cover to make the hard drive a 'master' drive.  Remove the jumper and put it back on the appropriate pins.  Use a pair of tweazers if it helps.\n\n9. Look at your new hard drive and configure it as slave (using the jumper pins, just like in step 8).\n\n\n10. Place both hard drives back into the computer in the metal racks, and remember which is which (maybe use some sticky tape temporarily to mark one of them).  Screw them both into the racks.\n\n11. Attach the master hard drive, your old hard drive, to the very end of the IDE cable (the flat grey cable).\n\n12. Attach the new hard drive to the middle plug in the cable. (see the URL in the sources section).\n\n13. Attach power cables to both hard drives.\n\n14. Put your computer case back on, but don't screw it in yet.\n\n15. Plug in your power, monitor and keyboard and turn the computer on.  Hold down the 'delete' key on your keyboard immediately.  This will take you to your computer 'bios' screen.\n\n16. Select the first option in the menu.  This should list the hard drives that have been detected.  If both hard drives are in the list then you're done.  Screw the case on properly.  If not, double check the jumper settings, the IDE cable and the power cable.  If you can't get it to work, DONT PANIC! Just take your computer to your local computer store and ask for help.


How risky is it to marry a Russian woman you met over the internet?

Yes concidering that it is the internet.  The internet is safe but NOT THAT SAFE.  I mean if the 2 of you have visited with each other then yeah, be happy together, but if you have never met, then I would at least take the chance and either have her come to you or you go to her to see what you 2 look like.  Plus the woman that you are talking to could be someone different than the picture that she has sent you. \n\nBe careful and good luck.

That's pretty much correct. One example would be for rehydrating a freeze-dried vaccine.


does every matter freez from bottom or it is only water?

All freezing (or rather: crystallisation) occurs on surfaces or crystal seeds. Water freezes "from the bottom" because liquid water closer to freezing has a greater density than solid water (aka ice), so the frozen crystals float up. In cases where the solid has  a greater density than the liquid (probably the majority of cases), the solid will sink down.

Why are guys so interested in a girls' chest?

Many answers.  Some guys like breasts because it reminds them of a safe place when they were children in the arms of their mothers (kinda gross, I know).  Others might like boobs because they like the idea of being able to touch that sensitive part of a girl that others guys can't.  You also have guys who likes to think of boobs as location of a kinky act.  The reasons are many.  I say they want to look, let them.  Once they start looking, we girls can get whatever we want from them :P


What is the best file sharing program out?

Bit Torrent\nThere are many torrent programs out there and many websites with lists of shared torrents. The main point is that you search for what you'd like to download, find the torrent, and begin to download. It pulls together the files from everyone who is sharing (seeding) so the downloads are super fast.

There is no such thing as spot-reduction when it comes to losing weight.  It is a myth, and don't believe anyone telling you otherwise.  If you are going to lose weight on your legs, you will lose it everywhere else also.  That said, running is probably the best exercise because along with losing weight you will be building the muscles in your legs and core (lower abs and back) which will give you a healthier, and slimmer, appearance.


What is the best way for a lawyer to break into the finance world?

Given that you've already been through three years of law school, I think the "best way" would enable you to spend the least amount of time in another program while maximizing your training in finance prior to entering the job market. Here are two ideas:\n\n1) Get a masters degree in financial engineering from a top program. UC Berkeley has a one year full-time program that my friend went through, and he found a very good job with the help of their active job placement office. Not only was it good for networking, but he learned a lot as well. There is another financial engineering program at Princeton which takes 1 or 2 years (I'm not sure). Doubtless there are others. The emphasis in these programs is on analysis rather than the softer side of business management. With your law degree, you probably already have the softer skills and arguably, you may already have good network connections.\n\n2) Earn the Chartered Financial Analyst designation (CFA). This is a difficult series of exams that gives you background in finance and signals to potential employers that you have the skills to work in finance -- both in terms of some substantive knowledge and analytical ability. The advantage is that with this option, you can self-study while maintaining your regular employment until you have the necessary training. Check out the website, www.cfainstitute.org for more information.

Do credit consolidation companies work with collection agencies or just the main creditor?

I believe that credit consolidation companies work with any company that you owe money to, including original creditors and collection agencies.  You might want to ask before you sign up with anyone just to be sure.


what should you write when you are asked date available on an employment application?

If you are not currently UNemployed, then write down "ASAP", if you are employed, give them a date 2 weeks from today and let them know that you have to give your current employer a 'two-week' notice, that way they know that you are responsible and won't leave them hanging if you find another job. :)

Close.  I would say it's because the photons from the object hit a smaller area of the cornea.  If you think of the surface of the cornea as a screen onto which the world in front of the viewer is projected through a lens, as an object is moved away the angle between its top and bottom gets smaller and so the relative size of the object in that projection gets smaller.

What are the Pros and Cons of using Victaulic pipe fittings versus welded in HVAC applications.?

Well stillerfanz,\nAs an ex welder/HVAC tech and now an Inspector, I don't trust the Victaulic. Even though you groove properly and torque per procedure I would say:\n1) Victaulic quick, easy, and cheap Install or Fix.\nQuick if future change or repair needed,\nBelieve continuous torque should be rechecked because of machinery vibrations. \nMight lose the competitive edge because of rework. Leaks always possible.\n2) Weld more permanent and stable in regard to environment and conditions.\nDoesn't need continuous Inspection. \nLeaks unlikely\nHarder to perform change or rework.\nRegardless, both should recieve Base Line Inspection and Periodic Review.\nI am assuming you mean strictly Commercial/Industrial Installations.


I've and experience in teaching  for 2 years in it Should I go for Software Development Job?

i'm sure you could get a better remuneration in a software Development job. \nBut if you enjoy the teaching, you should try to remain with a couple of classes a week, that's good for you because young people is always asking and challenging, and because it gives you the great feeling of satisfaction.\nBesides in IT i feel that real experience in software develop must be taken to the academy, if you know what i mean, my teachers use to have a lack on real experience, and they never told us what we were really gonna face in our day to day job!!!


How can an attorney fight your speeding ticket in the court?

It tends to be on technicalities.  Where there many vehicles moving with you and you were received a tickets?  Did this affect the radar gun effectiveness with your vehicle?  When the officer was pacing your vehicle, was his spedometer calibrated properly and in properly maintained?\n\nSo you see, there are many technicalities.  But if you are responsible, it is better to take a driving class if offered by the court to have the ticket dismissed.


I lived in Houston for 3 years and it all depends on waht kind of scene you want.  If you want suburbia and upscale subdivision then Katy (the west side), Sugarland (southwest side), or The Woodlands (north side) aren't bad.  If you wnat more of an artisitic side and younger crowd then Rice Village and Westheimer are centrally located to a very chill scene.  I lived in the south of Houston in Clear Lake becuase it was laid back and right on the water with lots to do.

if you have a cut on your lips and kiss someone that have an AIDS are u prone to get the virus?

If the cut or laceration has exposed blood (bodily fluid) on both folks, it is possible to transmit HIV (the virus that can lead to AIDS if unchecked). However, it is more likely to transmit hepatitis. HIV is a very fragile virus that dies in contact with the air once outside the body. However, if the fluids exchange in very intimate contact where air is not present (pressing lips and rubbing frantically will do it), the chances for infection increase. There is no current evidence (in the 20 plus years we have been studying the disease transmission modes) that saliva transmits enough of the viable virus to cause infection.

Why do the English (& other nations) drive on the left? & Does it make more sense?

Just a quirk of history.  As to safety, there's really no difference.  In places where folks drive on "the other side," the driver is also "on the other side."  This means that visibility remains the same.


If you pop it, it could get infected.  If you type a lot just put a finger tip bandage on it and in a couple days it should shrink away on its own.  a better idea would be to wear the bandage during the day and then when you go to sleep take it off to let it air out.\nHope this helps!


It looks to me that the integer part means that you take the integer that comes before the given number if the given number is not an integer thus 0 would be the correct answer.

Why dont more people look for answers(truth) in politics?

There is no "truth" in politics.  It's all perseption.  Those that listen to the media are foolishly adopting a tainted idea of the world and what is going on in it.  People like to be led, that's why so many followed Hitler.  People don't want to have to think for themselves, and so they don't.  I'm glad you look for answers.


To know right from wrong you need a foundation. I found that foundation to be very firm with the Bible. Every difficult moral decision I have had to make in my many decades of living have been illuminated by the light of scriptures.

i need a new laptop but some one tell me the difference bt CELERON and CENTRINO PLEASE GIVE ME ADV?

Basically, Celeron this the cheap-ass processor.  Celerons are the lowest of the low with slow speeds, higher crash rates, and basically only enough power for a user of only e-mail, internet surfing, and pinball...nevermind high-graphic games like Quake 4 or Sims 2.  Centrino processors are built specifically for laptop computers so they are great on power consumption and heat (or, less heat, for that matter).  The Centrino processors also have WiFi capabilities (wireless interet/networking, as long as you have a router at home or are in a WiFi-enabled building (e.g., certain Starbucks coffeeshops).  Go with Centrino, my friend!, hands down.

Which is more difficult? Skiing or snowboarding?

I Ski and Snowboard.\n\nwhich is more difficult:\n\nsnowboarding. definately.\n\nIt is harder to learn, and harder to master, the balance associated with it is so unlike what so many people are used to.  But - i find it a lot more fun than skiing a lot of the time.\n\nIf i was you, i'd start with skiing (if you've never done either before)  Because getting used to the slopes and over your fear of falling is imperitive.\n\ngood luck


I saw an interesting documentary on Nova about this.  There is a scientest that has some good proof that the tremendous energy required for lightening to strike actually comes from outside of our earth.  He came to this conclusion after finding that the energy produced by the seperation of + and - in a cloud was just not nearly enough to make the lightening happen.\n\nSo get this, his theory is that the extra energy comes from cosmic rays delivered by dying stars.  He has proved this by using equipment which detected X-Rays where thunder clouds are.


What is a general, fixed idea about a group without considering individual differences?

The Other Poster (OP) is correct: stereotyping is the answer.\n\nThe word comes from printing, where a solid (stereo) plate of type was used to print the same thing over and over.\n\nJust as in stereotyping a group, you assume that everyone in it is the same.\n\nFor example, all accountants are boring, is a stereotype.


Why don't we ever see stars around the space shuttle when its in space?

The light from the space shuttle, and often the earth in the background, is so bright that the start do not register on the picture.  Take a flash photo outside at night and you won't see stars in the background either.  In order for the faint light of the stars to register, you'd have to drastically overexpose the subject of the picture.


Most certainly, it's delicious and healthy too!\n\nFrom the website listing below:\n"Seaweed contains more vitamins and bio-available minerals than any other class of food. It is an extraordinary source of chelated, colloidal minerals and trace elements. The large brown seaweeds known as "kelp" are also rich sources of alginic acids (sodium alginates), which remove heavy metals and radioactive isotopes from the body and the bones. Seaweed is also a good source of protein and enzymes for people on vegan, vegetarian, macrobiotic, and raw food diets."

Hi,\n\nMagnetic Quantum Number "m" in relation to Azimuthal Quantum Number "l" can be depicted by- \n\nm = 2l + 1\n\nSo, for any subshell (defined by the value of L), there are (2L + 1) values of M possible given by-\n\nM = -L, -(L-1), ......, 0, ....., (L-1), L\n\nSo, from your given options, I think the second one- -L, 0, L  is the closest.

Based on last year's performance, I think that it is going to be a high-scoring and close football game. The Chargers struggle against the pass and with Manning at the helm for Indy, this could be a long afternoon for the Chargers.\n\nHowever, the Chargers are a lot more balanced offensively with a stellar running and passing game (thank you Antonio Gates) which is difficult to defend both at the same time.\n\nI think of all the teams that have a chance to beat Indy this season, the Chargers are the ones. However, I still think Indy will win by 2 (the story of the Chargers' season it seems... losing by less than 5 and close).


do you think that God really is a 'male' being, or does He just prefer to present Himself as a father figure?

When he/she/G gives praise, e.g. to Abraham, Job, etc. s/he/G is often acting as a mother figure.\n\nI think to solve the he/she problem, God should have his/her own pronoun in English, call it:\n\n"G" and the possessive could be G's. \n\n(it could be considered a phonetic fusion of he and she together)\n\n\n\nyay/nay?


I hate having to be with people who are arrogant, plastic and simply not my type.


does the cathlic church know what year ( 4bc to 4ad) jesus was born?

The exact day of Jesus' birth is difficult to establish beyond all doubt. The fact of Jesus' birth, the place, the nature, and the purpose are clearly taught in the scriptures (Matt. 1; 2). However, God did not see fit to explicitly reveal the date. We do know that Jesus was born during the reign of Herod the King (Matt. 2: 1). History informs us that this Herod died in 4 B. C. Hence, Jesus would have been born no later than 4 B. C. We also learn from the Bible that a census was being taken at the time of Jesus' birth, in fact, Joseph and Mary were at Bethlehem to enroll when Jesus was born (Lk. 2: 1-7). Quirinius, the Governor of Syria, conducted this census. Based on the believed date of this census, some place Jesus' birth at 6 B. C. Some scholars believe Jesus was born in 5 B. C. In the center column reference of some versions of the King James Translation, we read regarding the time of Matthew 2, "The fourth year before the common account called Anno Domini (A. D., dm)." This date, I believe, is the product of the work of Dionysius Exiguus, a sixth century monk. \n\nThe Catholics, nor anyone else know the exact date.


what role does socioeconomic standing play in a student's education and preparedness for college?

As a public school teacher, I don't agree that socioeconomic standing doesn't effect a student's education, and I don't agree that public school teachers provide a substandard education.\n\nI do agree that parents seriously effect the outcome of a student's education, but with parents who are in the low socioeconomic range, they are usually not educated themselves and therefore have a harder time providing their children with good role models or have the skills to help them with their homework.\n\nIn public school (in CA at least) there are programs which actually devote more funding and resources to  students in this category who often are immigrants, and have received poor education in their former countries.  \n\nEach student and their background is unique.  Some come from cultural backgrounds that believe family is more important than education. Some come from well educated families that have been uprooted from another country and are now forced to work below their education level.  Some have little inclination to graduate and are only at school because it provides two free meals a day and a chance to socialize.  Some work their butts off to make up the time they've lost somewhere along the way.\n\nOverall, students from low socioeconomic standing usually fall behind for a number of reasons, but that doesn't mean that I don't see plenty who are excellent students and deserve the scholarships they earn to go to college.

As the previous reposnse so eloquently said, it is a bank account in Switzerland, but I am guessing you could figure this much out on your own.\n\nThe idea of a Swiss bank account in movies is that a Swiss bank will not cooperate with governements of an outside country.  This is why criminals and people who want to hide money from the IRS establish Swiss bank accounts.\n\nThat being said, Swiss banks will not accept moeny that they outright know to be from illegal causes. However, if there is money in an account that belongs to someone under investigation for tax fraud, a Swiss bank may not be willing to reveal how much is in the account.\n\nIn reality Swiss banks mostly have accounts from honest citizens.  The Swiss banking system is known for a high level of professionalism, and there are several important financial companies in Switzerland, which is why people may want money in a Swiss account.\n\nThere are also numbered Swiss accounts, which are not anonymous completely.  The bank has your identity recorded, but when business is done with that account it is done under a number instead of a name, so only you and a few employees at the bank know that is your account.  This provides a level of privacy hard to get in many other countries, and this privacy may be desired by anyone who wants to do business deals and stay out of the limelight.


Is yahoo search results based on payed entries? Plz let me know!?

Yes, and no. Helpful, huh? :)\n\nWhen you do a search, you'll see that there are paid search results at the top of the page (in the shaded box), at the bottom, and in the right-hand column. Those *are* paid placements, which is how Yahoo! makes money; the numbered items are pure-search items. \n\nSo yes, if you pay for it, you show up at the top of the page ... but not in the numbered search items.

Is it illegal to drive with passengers in the back seat but none in the front?

If it was against the law, then every parent with chidren would be in violation of the law.  With the inflatable airbags in the front passenger seat, you aren't allowed to have children in the front seat.  And since a majority of the driving that moms do is shuttling kids around, this would put them all at risk of receiving a citation.  \n\nI was also told once that it is illegeal to drive with the interior lights on.  I'm not sure if this is accurate or not but it is a distraction if it's on.


Why is it bad for mountain bikers to have bar ends on riser bars?

well, one reason it's bad to have bar ends is that when you're on a narrow trail, you can hook something, like a branch sticking out. a lot of bikers chop their bars to make them narrower to avoid that kind of thing.


If a relationship of 3 years ends, how do you go about picking up the pieces? How do you mend a broken heart?

Time. A long time. I guess it depends on how things happened. Whether it was sudden or you were both holding on to what you knew was only a matter of time. For me I chose to only remember the good things about him. Sometimes I would watch a movie or see him or hear something that would remind me and instantly I wanted to become violent and sob and scream. But each time that happened I would remind myself of some moment when I was totally happy with him. I would also calmly see that we were better apart (even if I had to lie to myself) but that I had a lot of good memories and lessons from that relationship. Distractions don't last forever but neither does the heartache. Genuinely accept your circumstances and remember that misery is a choice. You can find the best things about your life just how it is and make a conscious choice to be happy.

Ecover is phosphate-free of its own accord\nEcover brought a phosphate-free detergent onto the market long before alarming reports about high concentrations of phosphates in our water appeared in the news. As often happens, the situation had been well known in scientific circles for a long time. In contrast to other manufacturers, Ecover did not want to wait until regulations limited the use of phosphates, as this would take too long. By taking direct action and launching our own phosphate free product, Ecover ensured that fewer tonnes of phosphate would end up in the environment.\n\nThe effects and harmful side-effects of phosphates\nPhosphates are added to detergents as a water softener. They free the water of calcium and magnesium, which makes washing easier. A side effect of this however is that phosphates lead to massive plant growth in the environment which chokes water life. This is why Ecover uses zeolite, citrate and soda among other things to replace phosphates. These are natural substances that still make washing easy. However, the major difference is that they can be broken down easily and completely by natural processes and are not toxic.\n\nA lot still needs to be improved\nA large proportion of the phosphates that end up in the water environment still derive from detergents and cleaning products. This is because legislation and public pressure has concentrated on washing powders, which have consequently become largely phosphate-free. However, dishwashing tablets and washing up liquids have been overlooked in the legislation and much less stringent rules apply to them. Although all manufacturers now understand that phosphates are harmful to the environment, they usually allow them in their laundry tablets and dishwasher products (up to 45%!). Shocking proof of the fact the environment still does not play any role in their corporate ethics and responsibility.\n\nWhat are phosphates exactly and where do they come from?\nThe phosphate problem is very related to oxygen shortages \nAn example ...\n\nWhat are phosphates exactly and where do they come from? \nPhosphate (PO4) is a natural component in living organisms and is made up of phosphorus (P) and oxygen (O). Just like nitrate, phosphate is a nutrient for plants and is found in human waste as well as detergents and cleaning products. Phosphates ultimately end up in the water due to drainage. They are also found in fertilisers used in agriculture and in (vegetable) gardens. In this instance they end up in the ground water and surface water when the soil is irrigated and can then have harmful effects on the environment in high concentrations. Most phosphates come from households, industrial activities and agriculture.\n\n\nThe phosphate problem is very related to oxygen shortages\nJust like nitrate, phosphate is a nutrient for plants. Water plants and algae will grow strongly if there is a high concentration of phosphates in the water environment. During the day, these water plants produce oxygen with the help of daylight. However, a problem is created at night because they consume oxygen instead of producing it. Too much oxygen is then taken out of the water which means that plants, fish and other organisms are killed.\n\nAn example… \nA high concentration of phosphates (0.2 mg/l or more) in the water causes a surplus of phytoplankton combined with plants with floating leaves or thick duckweed. In other words, the water becomes murky and many fish and other organisms die through a lack of oxygen. This is referred to as complete eutrophycation.\n\nA family uses an average of 40 kg washing powder and 10 kg of dishwashing powder per year. Assuming that both products contain 30% of phosphates on average, this means the family discharges 15 kg of phosphates into the water annually. \n\nOn combining this data, we come to the frightening conclusion that our family can completely choke a lake with an average depth of 1.5 metres and a surface of 6 hectares each year!

Why would a laptop be better than a desktop?

Already some good answers here.  I use both, at home and work, and each have their advantages.  I love my laptop because it's mobile and lightweight, which means I have a computer wherever I go.  \n\nBut I also like a full-featured keyboard and mouse, which I can use with my laptop--but that's inconvenient. So I use my laptop mostly at home, and a desktop mostly at work.  I bring my laptop to the office, but mostly so I can easily transfer work files to it.\n\nWhich is better? They both are!

They would be required to hold onto the records for a minimum amount of time (10 years I think, but not sure). How they do that would vary, but they'd likely transfer them to another facility, likely the nearest hospital.


Should serving a period in  "govt. service"  be a mandatory  part of  our educational system?

Since you are asking about service in the government and not about punctuation, I will give my opinion.\nNo, it would be very wrong to do that.\nIt would lead to more dropouts (making it a caveat to being educated to serve in the government)\nthe vast majority would be put into military service, which is a major violation of our constitution (impressed into service in a non wartime situtation).\n\nOverall, anything like this that would be implemented would be illegal, immoral, and lead to a decay in our educational system.\n\nI am assuming you are in the states.

where can you find sheep population more than human population?

As well as New Zealand, you'll also find sheep out-numbering people in Australia.\n\nIn 2003, NZ had about 10 sheep per head of population, and Australia was not far behind with about 6 per head of population.\n\nAnd an update from just this week at http://www.abc.net.au/rural/content/2005/s1534964.htm : "Australian sheep numbers are continuing to rebuild, with the total flock now at 103 million head.\n\nThe flock has grown by nearly 4 million since hitting a 56-year low during the drought in 2003, with most states recording a good rise in numbers."

what are independent variables & partial derivate?

Two variables are independent if the value of one is not affected when the other is changed. For example,\nIf you have a rectangle, you can change the height without affecting the width, so height and width are independent variables. But, if you keep the height fixed, and change the width, the area of the rectangle will change, so the area and width are dependent variables.\n\nI am going to assuming that you know what an ordinary derivative is. To take a partial derivative, you start with a function of two or more independent variables. You treat all but one of the variables as if they were constants, and then take the derivative with respect that variable.\n\nFor example, if f(x, y) = 6x + 10xy + 12y\nthen to take the partial of f with respect to x, you treat y as if it were a constant and take the derivative with respect to x which gives you \n\n6x + 10y\n\nTo take the partial of f with respect to y, you treat x as if it were a constant, and differentiate\nit as a function of y and get\n\n10x + 12

A healthy adult, from ages 16 to 38 or so can get by on about 4 hours of sleep a night.  However, it is reccomend you get from 6 to 7 hours of sleep.  8 hours of sleep was mandated for many years, but found to be non optimal.\n\nChildren under the age of 16 should get at least 8 hours of sleep or more.  Infants and toddlers, preschoolers and such should get more than 10-12 hours of sleep per day.\n\nOlder adults from ages 38is to 60 should get about 8 to 10 hours of sleep per day to help their bodies recoup the daily losses.  \n\nOlder people, from ages 60+ should usualy get from 10-12 hours of sleep a day to help recoup the losses.\n\nMind  you these are optimal hours, the range can be decreased and increased based on the activeness of the person.

how long does a guy really last in bed??

Actually there is really no corrct answer to that. Some people will last 30 minust and others 5 minutes. This depends on the individual. Now if you are having sex and you can't last lond then you probably have a very sensative head. Go to a drug store and buy a penis desensatizer. This simple reduces the sensativity which then causes you to last a few minutes longer.

Hi !!!\n\n"Sciatica definition: To clarify medical terminology, the term sciatica (often misspelled as ciatica or siatica) is often used very broadly to describe any form of pain that radiates into the leg.  However, this is not technically correct. True sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is pinched or irritated and the pain along the sciatic nerve is caused by this nerve (radicular pain). When the pain is referred to the leg from a joint problem (called referred pain), using the term sciatica is not technically correct. This type of referred pain (e.g. from arthritis or other joint problems) is quite common."\n\n"Overview of sciatica causes and symptoms: Sciatica—pain along the large sciatic nerve that runs from the lower back down the back of each leg—is a relatively common form of low back pain and leg pain. This pain along the sciatic nerve can be caused when a root that helps form the sciatic nerve is pinched or irritated. \n\nSciatica is usually caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve from a herniated disc (also referred to as a ruptured disc, pinched nerve, slipped disk, etc.). The problem is often diagnosed as a "radiculopathy", meaning that a disc has protruded from its normal position in the vertebral column and is putting pressure on the radicular nerve (nerve root) in the lower back, which forms part of the sciatic nerve.\n\nSciatica occurs most frequently in people between 30 and 50 years of age. Often a particular event or injury does not cause sciatica, but rather it may develop as a result of general wear and tear on the structures of the lower spine. The vast majority of people who experience sciatica get better with time (usually a few weeks or months) and find pain relief with non-surgical treatments." \n\n"One or more of the following sensations may occur as a result of sciatica:\n\n>Pain in the rear or leg that is worse when sitting\n\n>Burning or tingling down the leg\n\n>Weakness, numbness or difficulty moving the leg or foot\n\n>A constant pain on one side of the rear\n\n>A shooting pain that makes it difficult to stand up\n\n>Low back pain may be present along with the leg pain, but usually the low back pain is less severe than the leg pain\n\nYou can refer to the source link to find more about sciatica and treatment options.\n\nI hope this helps.  You can find more information on www.webmd.com and www.mercksource.com.  Take a look.\n\n\n>>> Naveen Kumar


HOW  CAN YOU TELL WHEN YOUR LEGS HAVE DIEBETIES?

I believe you are asking specifically how a person's legs look/feel when diabetes is present in their system.  If so, the legs tend to swell and you cannot stand on them for long periods of time.  They ache constantly.  Only a doctor can diagnose this illness for sure and will suggest treatment.  Diabetes is also usually inherited. But you can also have the "old age" as they call it, diabetes, which my father had in his 60s.  That was caused by too much alcohol and too much rich food (and not exercising and in general, just taking care of yourself.)  So because it was "old age" and the diabetes was brought on by outside 'triggers' (i.e., food and alcohol), it is not in our family.  But please get your legs checked out.


Why do you never see squirrel droppings?

can u send me some info about bermuda triangle or black hole puhleez plz please if u have any??

The Bermuda Triangle has a reputation for being an area where ships and airplanes dissappear, often under mysterious circumstances. This reputation came to public awareness in the 1950s and became a household name in the 1970s, mostly due to "The Bermuda Triangle", a bestselling book written by Charles Berlitz.\n\nVarious explanations for the apparent high number of dissapperances have been put forward, ranging from the mundane to the hyper-fantastic.\n\nSkeptics contend that this region has a comparable rate of maritime and aerial incidents as any other similar sized region of the ocean. They point out that Lloyd's of London, a world-reknowned insurer of maritime vessels, does not charge a higher insurance premium for ships that regularly traverse the triangle.\n\nScientific considerations for an increased dissaperance rate take into acount that this region experiences severe tropical storms and is the source of many hurricanes. These storms create an increased danger to both ship and air traffic.\n\nRougue waves have also been put forward as a possible cause. These rare waves can reach heights of as much as 100 feet (30 meters), easily swamping most ships. Rouge waves, however, would have no effect on air travel.\n\nA third scientific explanation is methane hydrates. Methane deposits on the ocean floor may release bursts of methane gas that reduces the density of the water it permeates. Since ships rely on displacement to stay afloat, a reduction of density in the water would cause a ship to immediately sink. As the methane leaves the water and rises into the air, it would reduce the density of the air as well, thus reducing lift on aircraft, causing them to descend rapidly. In addition, the methane would change the air mixture taken into the engines of the aircraft, causing the engine to stall. While these events have not been witnessed in nature, they have been proven in lab experiments.\n\nMore exotic explanations for the Bermuda Triangle include it being an area of magnetic disturbance, temporal (or time) holes, the location of the lost city of Atlantis, or extra-terrestrial abduction.


why do people care if u don't have s boyfriend?

People are weird, when you have a boyfriend they are jealous, and pick and pride into your relationship.  When you don't have a boyfriend they make you feel bad about it: "You must be so lonely!",or "It's couples night, sorry!"  And then more dreadfully, they try to fix you up, yuck.  Some people, want to see you happy, while others could care less....

WHAT FACTORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TEACHERS PRODUCTIVITY?

The best thing that works is the old stick and carrot routine. \n\nYou encourage them to work harder by offering rewards for jobs well done, and punish them for poor performance - up to and including firing. \n\nGet rid of tenure at public schools, and make it so that regardless of how much time you put in, you have to pull your weight or you have to go.

my E-mail was hacked into. what precautions can I to to prevent this from happening again?

The same thing happened to me.  I was using a password that was a word, though not a common one.  I changed my password into a "strong" combination of letters and numbers to prevent this.\n\nAlso, when you log in, make sure you use the Secure method.  If you go to mail.yahoo.com you'll see you can select Standard or Secure as the logon method.\n\nFinally, I now use the application AI Roboform to keep track of my passwords (www.roboform.com), since they're all strong.  Plus I don't have to bother entering the password.  Enter a master password, select the login from the list in Roboform (Yahoo! mail, say) and it goes to the site and logs in for me.  You can set how often you have to enter the Master Password for Roboform in the preferences.


Jigsaw puzzles were originally made with a jig saw - a type of saw with very narrow blades specifically for cutting tight turns.  Jig came from the rapid up&down motion of the saw blade, and traces back to the dance called a jig.


any realtors out there that have scripts or worksheets that they use for obtaining clients on floor?

I just asked my mom, who's been a realtor for over ten years, her "recipe for success" on the floor and this is what she said:\n\n"Ask the person what prompted the phone call, i.e., for sale sign, looking to buy, looking to sell, etc.  If the person saw the house, what was it that attracted the person to the house?  Was it the neighborhood? The price? The design? Try to keep a dialogue going by asking questions."\n\nShe also pointed out that some people can't get hooked even by the most skilled salesperson.  There are people out there who just want a question answered and aren't interested in working with a realtor.

How do you replace the power supply in a Gateway desktop?

Go to gateway's website and order a replacement power supply from them.  \n    Once you receive the part, you'll need a phillips head screwdriver to remove the screw to the side of your tower. then you may remove the side cover of the tower. \nNow comes the tricky part.  Remove ALL power connections in the case that are attached to the power supply (connections to the motherboard, cdrom, floppy, case fan, etc...)\nNow, you may use the phillips head screwdriver to remove the power supply.  It should be about 4 screws.\nYou may now install the new power supply by simply reversing the order in which you just used to uninstall the bad power supply.\n\nGood luck

How does the yellow first down marker line for football games on TV work?

The main TV cameras are equiped with sensors so that keep track of the angles they are pointed and the amount they are zoomed in on the action. That information is set to a computer that computes where to add the yellow line to the picture. It is designed to only add the yellow line over the green grass on the field. If you watch a game where one of the teams has green on their uniform, you will sometimes see the yellow line show up over part of the uniform. See the article at the site listed below.

Exercise. A healthy weight loss plan should have you losing no more than 2 lbs. per week. You could lose the 30 lbs. in 15 weeks...

how does salt water sucked up with a water spout come back down as fresh water?

Well I spend some time googling for it but I didn't find any research on the topic.\n\nHowever, logicaly, a water spout would suck up the water as salt water since its a mechanical function, not an evaporative one.\n\nThat said, there is the concept of seeding a cloud with salt to cause rain to form.  It seems unlikely however that a salt in solution would come out of solution in the cloud, however maybe it could be MUCH diluted since most of a cloud would be freshwater.\n\nWith evaporation, the salt remains in the ocean.  In the case of the spout, the salt water is picked up and the returns down as salt water.\n\nThe logic here is that the salt HAS to return back to the earth somehow.


Why do Life Savers candy make blue sparks when you bite them?

It works the best with "Wintogreen," rather than peppermint, and should be done with a fresh pack (the moisture makes it spark better). The spark that comes from the Life Saver is considered as a type of triboluminescence, which the sugar in Life Savers contain. Here's an excerpt from my source site: \n\n"Wintergreen sparking, it's believed, is actually a three-step process. Step One: When you shatter the sugar crystals with your teeth, electrons (which are negatively charged) break free. As a result, the atoms in which the electrons were formerly embedded become positively charged. In what amounts to a subatomic game of musical chairs, the free electrons dash around madly trying to find a new home.\n\n"Step Two: Meanwhile, as the sugar crystals disintegrate, nitrogen molecules from the air attach themselves to the fractured surfaces. When the free electrons strike the nitrogen molecules, they cause the latter to emit invisible ultraviolet radiation, along with a faint visible glow.\n\n"Step Three: The UV radiation is absorbed by the wintergreen flavoring, methyl salicylate. This then emits the fairly bright blue light you see. Pretty complicated, I admit. Clearly the planners in the Pentagon weren't the first to be obsessed with high-tech gimcracks."

Why do some people write Chanukah while others say Hanukkah? Rabbi Mark S. Diamond explains that these are two different English spellings and neither is incorrect. The Hebrew word for the festival of lights, Hanukkah/Chanukah, consists of five Hebrew characters opening with the consonant het (chet). This letter is not the same as the English letter "h" (as in house). It is also not the same as "ch" (as in child). It is a Hebrew guttural sound that has no precise equivalent in English.


if alcohol consumption is not allowed in christianity then why do almost every christian drinks ?

This is not a question of the Christianity pitted against itself, but of Christians not following what the Bible tells them to.  Every Christian sins as well, but does that mean sinning is okay?  No.\n\nActually, wine mentioned in the Bible could have been fermented or unfermented(grape juice).  And I see no proof for Jesus drinking fermented wine but alot of evidence for Jesus drinking grape juice.\n\nTo learn more about it, visit the following website.

do you think the masturbating is harmful or not?

In general, it is not harmful. There is nothing physically damaging about masterbating. Its not going to make you sterile, or use up your sperm, or anything like that.\n\nIf masterbation becomes compulsive, you are spending a lot of time masterbating that you should be spending on other life activities, or if you masterbate at the expense of interpersonal relationships then it can be harmful to you socially or emotionally.

What is currently the best and most used online dating site?

Match.com is the most popular, so you have the largest pool of potential matches.\n\nOn the other hand, other sites may offer higher quality matches. eHarmony offers extensive screenings to help find people you are compatible with. Other sites offer niche-oriented services, such as JDate (catering to Jews), Gay.com, or sites that help find someone that matches your political leanings. If you are looking for someone that meets very specific criteria, a site like this may be more effective.

I fthere was a 100m dash between hare and tortoise who will win.Pl read deatails and answer.?

The fallacy implied by the question is that the Hare's motion is somehow dependent on the Tortoise's progress. Or to suggest that the Hare can only proceed to point A if the Tortoise has been there first. In fact, motion is governed by velocity which is dependent on time. For this reason, we can only fairly compare their progress by comparing their movement over time.\n\nObviously, the only way the Tortoise wins is if it can travel 50m faster than the Hare travels 100m.\n\nEven if we must relate the Hare's progress in terms of the Tortoise's, we can prove that a decreasing geometric progression has a limit - in this case the point in space where the Hare would catch up to the tortoise if an infinite number of "Hare catches up to x while Tortoise travels to y" iterations occured. If this point in space is before the finish line, we can say the Hare will win, otherwise we have a fast Tortoise.


Who is your favorite Sith Lord from Star Wars?

Equity in your home.\nFind a wealthy partner.\nSmall business loans from the government.\nSell some personal assets.\nRaid your 401k at work.\n  - Good luck to you! -


Find a way to spend most of your time doing things you are passionate about.  This can be a hobby, faith, friendship or spouse.  \n\nTry to avoid staying in relationships, jobs, or lifestyles in which you are comfortable, but not wholly satisfied.\n\nIn short, gratitude is no substitute for passion.\n\nFor example, you may be grateful that you have a well-paying job, but if you are not passionate about your career, most of your time will be spent longing for something more worthwhile.\n\nWhich brings me to my answer:  The meaning of life is to strive for things you can be passionate about.  If you're lucky, you stumble upon a few of them early in your life.


I want be web programmer, so what is the best script I should learn beside php language?

If you want to be more of a client side programmer, the following is a good list.\n\nJavaScript -- For client side interaction. Look up the term AJAX, which incorporates JavaScript, and you'll see all sorts of people talking about how this is the future of web applications. Gmail is an example of an AJAX application.\n\nCSS -- Not a scripting language, but a way to style and layout web pages. Alot of people use CSS wrong. There are a few books that cover how to do it right. Books by Eric Meyer (Eric Meyer on CSS 1 & 2) and Jeffery Zeldman (Web standards) are MUST READS if you want to learn it right in the shortest amount of time. You might work witha designer that will do all of this for you, but you still better understand it.\n\nHTML -- I'm sure you know this by know, but the trick is doing HTML right. The Zeldman book talks about this and the O'Reilly HTML reference book is very helpful. Don't fall into using HTML the wrong way since it is very hard to get out of that pit. When I say "wrong way", I mean using tables to layout your page instead of CSS or .\n\nXML -- Not really a scripting language, but you'll need to know how to use XML in relation to other scripting languages.\n\nXSL -- I have read a little about this, but don't really know how many companies are using it in the real world. There is a slight bit of scripting involved. Read up on it just to be aware. I still believe most people are sticking with HTML and CSS.\n\nFor backend programming, which I don't no much about,:\n\nASP or ASP.net -- If you end up working at a company using microsoft products, you'll need to know this. They are very similiar to PHP.\n\nSQL -- Not a scripting language, but you'll need to interface with databases and this is the only way. SQL syntax varies by the product you use. MYSQL, SQLServer, Oracle are all popular database products.\n\nVB or VB.net -- If you are in a microsoft shop, they'll want you to know this.\n\nC# and/or Java\n\nC++ -- If you want to get hard core.\n\nThere is definitely more stuff out there. I recommend looking at some job descriptions of jobs you might want and check out their requirements. That's the best way.


_______carries information from DNA in the nucleus out into the cytoplasm of the cell?

mRNA  \nCapped messenger RNA is produced directly from your plasmid that contains a T7 or SP6 promoter. It is purified by our proprietary PUREmessenger™ technology. PUREmessenger™ is a chromatography that not only eliminates traces of DNA and proteins but also allows the selective recovery of the mRNA of the correct size. Shorter abortive transcripts as well as longer contaminating mRNA that are produced during in vitro transcription are eliminated. Capped mRNA will be purified by PUREmessenger™, quantified, re-suspended at 1mg/ml (except if otherwise specified) and aliquoted at 50 µl/aliquot (except if otherwise specified) in sterile conditions. It will be sent to you on cooling blocks together with its documentation: formaldehyde/agarose gel documentation picture. The capped mRNA that is sent to you ready-to-use (dissolved in water or the buffer of your choice) is 100% of your mRNA molecule of interest.\n\nCapped mRNA is produced in clean room facilities for research or clinical applications.\nYour benefit\nHighly purified, efficiently capped mRNA that has a superior efficacy compared to standard mRNA produced with in vitro transcription kits and simply purified by precipitation thus contaminated with alternative transcripts and traces of proteins and DNA fragments. The high quality of mRNA is reproduced from batch to batch. This guarantees the consistency of your results. Capped mRNA can be produced for research or for clinical utilisation: "documented" to be used as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient or GMP-certified.

What the best gift to your boyfriend for valentines day?


Is there a way to convert avi video file to a mpeg4 extension video file?


How do I ge the balance on my Discover Card Card?


blood pressure, force exerted by the blood upon the walls of the arteries. The pressure in the arteries originates in the pumping action of the heart, and pressure waves can be felt at the wrist and at other points where arteries lie near the surface of the body (see pulse). Since the heart can pump blood into the large arteries more quickly than it can be absorbed and released by the tiny arterioles and capillaries, considerable inner pressure always exists in the arteries. The contraction of the heart (systole) causes the blood pressure to rise to its highest point, and relaxation of the heart (diastole) brings the pressure down to its lowest point.\nBlood pressure is strongest in the aorta, where the blood leaves the heart. It diminishes progressively in the smaller blood vessels and reaches its lowest point in the veins (see circulatory system). Blood pressure manifests itself dramatically when an artery is severed or pierced and the blood (under pressure) ejects in spurts.


If you travel the speed of light and you have your lights on, can you see where you are going?

no. well, its absolutely impossible to travel at the speed of light, but lets pretend you can so i can actually give you an answer to the question. The speed of light is actually the ultimate speed limit to the universe, nothing can travel faster than light, so although you would expect the light to be going at twice the speed of light (you plus the speed of light)it can't because it is physically impossible for even light to travel faster than the speed of light so it would be going at the same speed of you and not reach any path in front of you.  Of course, if you turned on your headlights before you started moving, the light would always be one step ahead of you.\n\nbut again, this situation couldn't happen anyway since you can't get to the speed of light, and if you want to know why, look at some of my answers to other questions about time travel (which involves velocity distorting time) and shining flashlights and such.


How do u know that magnesium is the more metallic element in the compound magnesium oxide, MgO?

You need to look at a Periodic Table. The farther to the left of the table an element is, the more metallic it is.

Does the government have the remains of crashed UFO's?

there have been several UFO crashes through out the world in the last 50 years..including the United States..and more recent Russia in the eighties with none human bodies recovered from the sites...but it is all the same..they are kept secret for their own gains and advantages..they are real...I have seen them several times in day and night in the sky...anyone who has that kind of government clearance ..to the ufos are under very close scrutiny..they are risking life if any information was to get out..that would be why...we never get any info about area 51..yes it is the greed factor...pity...we all could probaly be better off if those technologies from the downed crafts we given to the world to use..for the good of mankind ..and for our poor poor planet Earth


As I understand it, Reunion has been cancelled and the show will end without solving the main mystery.\nDoesn't really seem fair to me,but that's the way TV works sometimes.


What is the best free web hosting service with FPE(front page) support ?


Wouldn't the mail-order diploma factory-college that someone with that attitude would attend provide the essays and "reccommendations" (spelled recommendations) in exchange for a credit card number?


My mouse keeps sticking. Won't move left, then won't move right. I've tried cleaning it.?

If your mouse has a ball, make sure you clean the ball and the rollers inside the mouse case.  They tend to pick up a lot of dust.\n\nBetter yet, get an optical mouse, they don't have the dust problems due to no moving parts.
