duckworth-lewis is not used in every case,it comes into consideration only if 25 overs hv been bowled in the 2nd inn'gs. of a ODI. while it has been strongly disapproved by many cricket experts the reason that its still used is no other theory with a btr explanation has ever been introduced in cricket matches that are been suspended due to weather conditions.\n            It basically includes deduction of the 'required run rate' by the team batting second and the position or the run rate of the team at the time when play stops..if it exceeds the 'overal. req rate' then d team battin' sec. wins or otherwise the team dat batted first.\n             the basic funda behind D-L method is to get result and it still is under lot of controversy.


how do east and west people treat womens?how they respect them?

do you mean eastern as in asia and the middle east,and western as in USA and Canada? Well there are quite a few differences,in many eastern countries women are treated like property and sold to the highest bidder,they have no rights of their own,and many are abused by their husbands.Especially countries under heavy islamic rule,in India for example in the poorer sections women are owned by their father,families have to pay heavy dowry fees and many are murdered for dowry,they are pressured to give birth to a son,if they dont there inlaws will reject them.In the west many men use women for their bodies,and just live with them without being married,women have more rights and freedoms in the west but men have lost the respect for feminity,modesty is non-existent.These are the two extremes of the world,there are exceptions there are good men in both the east and the west,but these are the generalizations of the two.

Why is the ocean blue but when you fill a glass with ocean water is clear?

This is actually a much more complicated question than it appears. Of course, the ocean is not ALWAYS blue, but it is often blue. It is different shades of blue at different times. It appears that the ocean's color is a combination of at least 3 processes:\n\n1. reflection (from the blue sky above)\n2. absorption (of other colors)\n3. scattering (of the blue part of the spectrum by suspended particles in the water, or by the water itself). \n\nOne source I found said the scattering was because of the dissolved oxygen but I find that hard to believe. Another said that the scattering was mainly due to Raman scattering. That might be true.  \n\nThe blue of the sky is mainly because of scattering by oxygen and nitrogen (Rayleigh-Tyndall scattering) except at sunrise and sunset, when the ozone apparently absorbs much of the redder and orange colored light, leaving the sky overhead a dark blue. \n\nThe glass of water is too small a quantity to view the blue color.

how could i find out how much a barber makes per year?

Go get yourself a haircut and tell the barber you are considering his job as a career (or whatever your reason for asking) and ask a few general questions, if he is friendly, he will probably give you an idea of what you can make and what it depends on.  Dont ask him what HE makes, but ask what "someone might make" in that job.  My sister (a single mom) does men's cuts and does pretty well.  She makes a decent living.

Let your friend know that like 75% of men carry HPV.... and it generally doesn't affect them, so they don't know they have it.... and don't get tested for it.....

What makes left handed people different?

As I was taught (and don't quite believe entirely) is that left handed people tend to use more of their right hemisphere than right handed people.  The right brain is supposedly the more "creative" brain rather than the left sided "logical" hemisphere.  Studies do show that left handed people tend to use both hemispheres for communication rather than a dominated left hemispheres.  There is actually an increase of left handers in the "creative" occupations like painting and music.

how to make love to ur husband and make him 100 percent happy and satisfied?

There is nothing in the universe to make a human being 100 percent happy and satisfy.We pretend to be happy and satisfied.Thats why we hope & dream ,we work, we try our best ,we look forward for more love,more money ,more comforts.If once you achive everything in your life then you'll find no meaning no lead your life.The only thing you require to make or become happy and satisfied in married life is heartful love - we know love conquires everything.And the secondary things are sacrifice and adjustment.If your question points to physical matters then you should know that physically a man or woman can attract his / her partner at best one year.Thanks


Explain why how much bubbling is observe when you open a bottle of softdrink?

it is because as i remembered, of the pressure of air locked inside the bottle.. bubbles represents carbon...Fizzy drinks (carbonated beverages) are produced by injecting carbon dioxide into the drink at several atmospheres. Carbon dioxide dissolves readily at normal atmospheric pressure, particularly in cold beverages, but far more so at high pressure and large volumes of gas can be dissolved. When the pressure is released the carbon dioxide comes out of solution forming numerous bubbles and begins releasing the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. After many minutes most of the carbon dioxide has been released and the drink is said to be 'flat'.\n\n;-)

If you are married, you should file as married. It is not a garauntee you will get a huge return whether you file single or married. Depends on your income and how many deductions you have and /or any dependants that you claim. If you and your spouses income is not over a certain amount combined , I think the limit is $80,000, thats together, I think you should still get a good return if you file together. Hope for a big return for you. Make sure a professional does your taxes this year since you are newly married. Go over the return after the process, and next year you should be able to see what to do and what not to do, you can do them on your on if you like.

What is important? Having brilliant Ideas or Actually working on these ideas?

Brilliant ideas are not good enough, its like dreaming at night only to wake up and, "it was a good dream" and that never took you anywhere, did it? No one ever became anything by just "knowing" stuff! The driver is not a driver because he "knows" how to drive, but because he "drives"; the teacher is not a teacher because he "knows" how to teach, but because he "teaches". You must get you ideas into reality else they remain just "thoughts" and no one ever got rich by having brilliant ideas, but by practicalizing these ideas. I used to have the same problem, but ACTION is the key. Knowledge is not power, it is the application of knowledge that is the power! Someone once said that a man that attempted only idea and faild, is by far better that the other man who had 1,000 ideas and never attempted any! Discussing your ideas is not all, you have to take ACTION!


How many people would be killed in America by terrorists, since 911, if we didn't start the war on terrorism.

I think we've been very fortunate not to have sustained any more attacks yet. In fact, in spite of my complete lack of trust in the bush adminstration i must give some credit for their ability to protect our country from any subsequent attacks. However, I belive the way the war on terror has been handled (particularly in iraq) we only only feeding the fire. I think we are making new terrorists everyday because of our activities.  I would have preferred to see our involvement stay within afghanistan where the problem was. Unfortuatenly, we have not found Osama. We have found Hussein, but i don't remember him crashing planes into the world trade center. \nI hope our good fortunate continues and we are not attacked on our soil again. But bush's continued aggression in the middle east can't possibly be helping to tame terrorism, but only to incite. Recent decisions to sell our ports to an arab country linked with the taliban is also worrisome. \nIt's a good question you've asked and its easy to say the war on terror has been effective to the extent that we haven't had any more attacks and maybe in the short run, it has helped to prevent some attacks. But i am seriously concerned about the long term consequences of the way in which the war on terror is being handled by our president.

should colleges require students to take classes that are not related to their majors?

Hardly anyone is ABSOLUTELY sure what they want to do with thier entire life when they enter college. Someone who has always wanted to be a buisnessman might take a psychology class and decide that their true life calling is to be a psychologist. High school limits the amount of information you receive about the world, especially small schools that teach only basic subjects. College give you so many more course options that it is a time to discover what your life passions are. So, YES!

Love has several different meanings in the English language, from something that gives a little pleasure ("I loved that meal") to something one would die for (patriotism, pair-bonding). It can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state. In ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love. Probably due to its emotional primacy, love is one of the most common themes in art. Love is sometimes descibed as an OCD.\n\nCheck out link below

On Factors does the color of Shadow depends?

Shadows should be black, because a shadow is abscence of light.

What can I say to talk a heroin addict (he is a family member) into going for help to detox?

Detox does little to keep them clean long term.  Many have been in and out of detox or treatment centers numerous times.  The lure of the euphoria keeps drawing them back.  Some of them turn into alcoholics if they can't get their drug of choice.\n\nIntervention works with some addicts who have people in their life who are very important to them.  These people have to get together and decide to stand firm, and present it to the addict that either he goes to treatment now and stays clean, or they will disown him.  Everyone has to stand firm, there can be no wiggle room.  Each has to confront him at the intervention.  If this involves the employer, the wife or husband, the parents, the best friends, the clergyman, etc.;  and they are all strong, then it may work.  But many addicts are loners.  If he thinks he is gonna lose his wife, his job, his kids, etc.  he may well quit.  You got to take him immediately to a treament center, which he stays in for a month, then he goes to a half way house for several more months.  He must stay in AA or NA meetings for life.  His old obsession of drug seeking must be replaced with an obsession to stay clean and sober.\n\nTough love is essential.  You are enabling his addiction even simply by being nice to him, and big time if you give him a place to live or money or love.  Half way houses are a cheap place for room and board for a recovering addict or alcoholic, in the company of his peers.  He has to be clean a day or so to get in one.  If he uses, he is kicked out.  He has to get a job to pay the small rent money.  It is a good place for an addict to recover.  They go to lots of meetings.

How protons,Neutrons and electrons are in Lithium?

Periodic Table is in order of increasing atomic no. so\n\n1st Step: find the placement of the element, in the present case it is on third place so no. of protons is three.\n\n2nd Step: In the Periodic Table, number of electron is always equal to number of protons so far three protons of Lithium there will be three electrons.\n\n3rd Step: Periodic Table also give atomic weights of the elements. Simply atomic weight is equal to sum of number of protons and nutroms.\n\n4th Step: Note the atomic weight of the element. Most of the elements in Periodic Table show atomic weights in fractions. In the case of Lithium it is 6.9 \n\n5th Step: Convert the fractional figure into nearest whole number. In case of Lithium it is 7\nNote:In the Periodic Table atomic weight is average of all isotopes (different atomic weights of same element). The nearest whole number refers to the most abundent  or the common atom (Isotop).\n\n6th Step: Subtract atomic number (protons) from atomic weight (neutron=proton), the difference is number of neutrons. In Lithium 7-3=4 so there are 4 neutrons

What do Iranians have to do to reach the Freedom?

Actually... while I agree education is key. Revolution over the extremist "leadership" that has iron fisted control is a necessity. I fully believe the common Iranian people are not as extremist as those who have the reigns in that country. Given the chance, the Iranian people like everyone else, would prefer a free government and society with peace at heart. To obtain that peace and freedom, it will take action though. Freedom is not just given. Freedom is earned and won. Blood is freedom's stain, and many times it takes fighting and revolution to win freedom. The extremist and hate filled people in charge in Iran will not give up their iron-fisted control just because they are asked.

Imperialism happens when a dominant country invades another country (through physical and cultural force) and restructures the economic/social/cultural function of its people; new imperialism or second-wave imperialism happens when an invaded country then invades another--or when the invaded country returns to invade the original, dominant country (as is happening culturally when American pop culture affects British culture)

He dropped the horse's tail, stepped up on the walk, and aimed towards the swinging doors of the saloon. \n\n"Hold on, Mister..." \n\n"Sheriff?" \n\n"Did I just see what I think I just saw?" \n\n"Reckon you did, Sheriff...I got me some powerful chapped lips..." \n\n"And that cures them?" \n\n"Nope, but it keeps me from lickin' em!


Which type of men use skin care products?

They say "metrosexuals" do but I think men care about their bodies too!  I mean who wants to have acne and black heads?  My husband uses the Mary Kay skin care line as its all fragrance free and "safe" for men to use.  I love how soft his skin is and since he uses satin lips his lips are kissable and soft instead of chapped like they once were.  He does not get those bumps from shaving or ingrown hairs now that he maintains his skin care routine.  As a Mary Kay consultant I facial men all the time..I think you would be surprised who really does care for their skin.  \n\nMegan

Hey does anyone know if Kava Kava is an effective treatment for Depression?

I understand your desire to stay away from\n"sledgehammer" solutions that involve powerful,\nsometimes untested prescription medicines. When it\ncomes to your health, remedies that are stronger are\nnot always better. I have three things that have\ngotten me through times when I've been depressed, and\nthey're all gentle solutions that I think will suit an\nintelligent person like yourself. \n\n1 - The first is what Freud calls the "talking cure".\nHe insists that it must be performed by a\npsychoanalyst who you are paying for, but actually\nI've performed it by writing in a diary. The key is to\nbe very honest, and try to find connections that you\nmight otherwise be supressing, because these are the\nareas that need work. For example, what's the first\nthing that pops into your mind when you think of\n"depression"? If the answer is "flying a kite", then\nfollow the chain... What do you think of when you\nthink of "kite" and "flying"... You'll be surprised\nhow quickly this takes you right down to an event in\nyour childhood or an unresolved conflict that might\nhave happened a year ago.\n\n2 - Looking for lies. A chair cannot make you\ndepressed. A lampshade cannot make you depressed. Only\nanother person can make you depressed. I believe it is\nbecause a chair and a lampshade cannot lie. Only a\nperson can lie. Depression, it seems to me, comes from\nbelieving a lie. That conflict (between reality and\nthe lie) takes up so much mental energy to maintain,\nit drains you as a whole. You may find, after using\ntechnique #1, that it leads to you to this conclusion\n#2. For example, after free associating your way to an\nevent, you might find that it was when someone told\nyou that you weren't worth a hill of beans. The\nproblem is not that they insulted you, the problem is\nthat you believed the lie. Beware, giving up on a lie\nthat we've believed in for a long time is tougher than\nit sounds.\n\n3 - This one is going to sound goofy, especially after\nwading in deeply with the other two techniques. Get\nsome light to shine on the cells in the back of your\neyes. Go outside for an extended period of time\nwithout sunglasses (no need to stare at the sun or a\nlight-bulb, indirect light will do). Use one of those\ngentle light therapy products like www.everlyte.com .\nTake a trip on a sailboat. Spend a few hours in open\nfields on sunny days. It's those cells in the eyes\nthat produce much of the chemical that pills and\nherbal remedies seek to replace, but the cells in the\neyes put the chemicals where they are needed, in your\nbrain, and not in your stomach and everywhere else.\nThis third technique will help you with the other two,\nallowing you to think clearly, and get out from being\nstuck in a loop.\n\nI hope this "whole-istic" answer is as helpful to you\nas it has been to me over the years. A gentle look at\nthe whole picture is often better than a sledgehammer\nto just one piece of the problem.


what is more important for a marriage to sustain  - romantic love or genuine love and caring for each other?

It all starts with physical but with committment to the relationship, it goes to genuine love with utmost caring for each other. Any relationship needs time to mature. Romance fades away and gets replaced with platonic love

Can you give me some information about martin luther king?

I suppose you're talking about Martin Luther King JR.  He was a Baptist minister and activist who petitioned for equal rights for African Americans and other colored people.  He's probably most famous for his "I have a dream" speech which he gave on the Lincoln Memorial in front of thousands of African Americans.  He was assassinated on April 4th, 1968 at a hotel in Memphis.\n\nIf you're by some chance talking about Martin Luther King SR., he was also a civil right activist but I do not know much about him.


It's a condition called "spina bifida" and it varies in severity.  Some people born with this defect go on to live fairly normal lives while others are profoundly disabled.  The doc who said it's nothing to worry about was probably correct, but there's nothing wrong with getting a second opinion.  The opening might possibly be a portal for infection, but most physicians are familiar enough with the condition that they can be accurate in their estimate of the level of such a risk.  If the parents do choose to have further studies done, they should be aware that MRI is expensive, and depending on circumstances, their insurance carrier may decline the cost.  Best bet - have a second pediatrician examine the child and ask him/her to confirm or contest the first doctor's prognosis.  Don't forget, all of us have an odd little hole in our persons that, in rare instances, can be a problem.  It's called the bellybutton.  I suspect the condition in the child in question is no more serious than is your own bellybutton.

Hey dont you believe that religions have made more enemies than friends in the world?

Ah, you only looked the Abrahamic Religions... I feel a tad left out, being Pagan and all. And I'm sure the Atheists feel the same way. As do any Hindus. We've had to deal with them, too! (Christians, many Jews, and Muslims have problems with Pagans and Atheists, and Muslims and Hindus have problems with each other)\n\nBut, yes, religions have made more enemies than friends. One of these days, there will be another Crusades, and another Holocaust...


What is the background info of SOAPMAKING?

The first soap was made from animal fat and ashes.  People may have even been aware of this combination before history was recorded, but there is no way of knowing for sure.  This is what I found at the website I've listed in sources:\n\n"It is recorded that the Babylonians were making soap around 2800 B.C. and that it was known to the Phoenicians around 600 B.C. These early references to soap and soap making were for the use of soap in the cleaning of textile fibers such as wool and cotton in preparation for weaving into cloth."


What is the best way to force yourself to sleep if u need the rest but arent getting any sleep.?

Try a relaxation exercise. With some light classical music in the background, lie down on your back and relax each and every muscle, one at a time. Start with your toes, then move to your feet, then ankls, calfs, knee, and so on. When you are done, go through the list again and make sure everything is relaxed. Then just let your mind go. You basically go into a meditation state and you get so relaxed from it, that (for me at least) you go from there straight to sleeping without even know it.

Evolution really doesnt fit in with religion but which is right?

Various recent Popes have repeatedly stated there there is no discrepency between science and the Roman Catholic faith. \n\nThe creation story in the bible is allegorical, not factual. The bible is not a book of science. \n\nIn fact, there are two creation stories in the bible that disagree with each other in the details. This in itself should tell you something.\n\nEvolution is not "right" or a "fact". Evolution is a theory, and it is just the most currently accepted theory to explain the observations we have. I would expect it would be replaced when a better theory that exlains more of the data supercedes it.

Why is the marine song called "halls of montezuma"?

40 Marine NCO's were involved in the battle for Chatulpetec Castle along with greater numbers of US Army against 750 Mexican  soldiers and 250 military cadets as young as 13, A myth evolved as to a Red Stripe Marine NCO's have on their "Dress Blue" trousers; supposedly commemorating the Marine NCO's bloody fight there. \n\nDuring the battle, six Mexican military cadets refused to fall back when General Bravo finally ordered retreat, and fought to the death against superior U.S. forces. One by one they fell, fighting for their country; when one was left (Juan Escutia), and the US forces about to kill him, he grabbed the Mexican flag, wrapped it around himself and jumped off the castle point.\n\nAn aide to Mexican Commanding General Santa Anna's  witnessing the mass Mexican Army's retreat exclaimed, "God is a Yankee"!\n\nAfterwards the Marines were ordered to guard the Halls of Montezuma ~ Thus "The Marine Hymn"

Howdo all three of newtons laws apply to the Carousel?  Like, how they make it move the way it does.?

1st, once the corousel is spinning it would keep spinning if not for friction and other forces.\n\n2nd, To accelerate the carousel you have to apply a force that will overcome its moent of inertia (which corresponds to mass in the angular case.  so  F = I * alpha\nwhere alpha is angular acceleration this is the angular equation that cooresponds to Newton's second.\n\n3rd, If you stand on the carousel then the force your feet apply to the floor is equal and opposite to the force the floor applies to your feet.

how to get rid of a girl from making fun of you?

She knows she will get a reaction from you when she makes fun of you.  If you react in a different way it will either soon bore her or she will not like the reaction she receives.  So you could ignore her or you could give her a dose of her own medicine and put her down.  As a last resort for someone who absolutely will not stop this type of behavior, warn them that the next time they put you down you will do something about it, and you must follow through. It is more important for your well being and peace of mind to take this extreme action.  Unfortuanetly in life there are some people who are just real jerks and this is the only way you can deal with them.


Will the USA ever allow a black person or woman as President within the next 10 years?

Yes, I believe there will be a black president before there will ever be a woman president. I know this is a loaded question, but many nations do not like dealing with women. Those nations would probably be in the Middle East. They would try to undermine the woman alot more than a black male. However, I would vote for Condi Rice. Both, black and female. She is smart and has the political clout to pull it off, I believe. Condi in '08!!!

What are some controversial remarks about Darwin's theory of evolution. Man evolving from apes?

I don't know if this is controversal, but the fact that the Darwinists don't want to discuss the flaws in the theory.  So much of the "science" behind it can't be recreated or observed, which is a big part of science.  Darwin himself said that it is a theory and needs to be treated as such.\n\nThe one thing I have asked about evolution is.  Normally the old "mold" dies off because the new "mold" is better.  If that is true and we evolved from Apes, why are there still apes.\n\nI believe that micro-evolution happens in species but no cross evolution.


what are the latest development or technologies which is related to civil engineering?

One of civil engineering's specialties is construction of large structures such as dams and highways.  This uses a lot of concrete held together against cracking and gross failure by rebar (reinforcing iron bars).  To make lighter thinner structures, Carbon Fiber (CF) will replace rebar in many future applications.  Zoltek (stock symbol ZOLT) is leading the way with partners to apply commercial grade (as opposed to aerospace grade) CF to concrete structures.

If a minor's parents want to press charges on an adult for statutoryrape does the minor have presschargesalso?

Unfortunately for you and your boyfriend, California is one of the few states with 18 years old as age of consent.  Since your boyfriend is less than 3 years older than you, the following can apply:\n\nCALIFORNIA CODES, PENAL CODE\n261.5 (b) Any person who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor who is not more than three years older or three years younger than the perpetrator, is guilty of a misdemeanor.\n\n(e)(1)(A) An adult who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor less than two years younger than the adult is liable for a civil penalty not to exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000).\n\nAnd it's the prosecutor who charges your boyfriend with the crime, not your parents. You have no say in whether he's charged or not.

How to place a text box border in MS Word, to guide the user filling in a doc,  but prevent it printing out?

You can do it in Visual Basic by defining a subroutine that will be called just before the document is printed:\n\nPublic WithEvents appWord As Word.Application\n\nPrivate Sub appWord_DocumentBeforePrint _\n        (ByVal Doc As Document, _\n        Cancel As Boolean)\n\nDim s As Shape\n\nFor Each s In Doc.Shapes\nIf s.Type = msoTextBox Then\n    s.Line.Visible = msoFalse\n    End If\nNext s\n\nEnd Sub\n\nThe problem is, it's a little bit tricky getting this routine hooked into the application event handler.  Translation:  I didn't get it to work.  Look at the documentation for the DocumentBeforePrint event for details on what to do.

Why won't there be many taxpayers in the near future?

The United States is still the world's superpower. Some call it a hyperpower, in fact. We're still wealthy, and the human development index is high. I'd say your best bet is to get a education and a skill. The taxpayer thing is due to the fact that our population is aging. it isn't that we won't have taxpayers, but that the taxpayers will be supporting a ballooning population of retirees. The same thing has and is happening in Europe, by the way. And at a much more advanced degree.

Do you know what different cities are doing about knowledge society?

Actually, the European Commission has this initiative called i2010, which provides an integrated approach to information society and audio-visual policies in the EU, covering regulation, research, and deployment and promoting cultural diversity. It looks for fast and visible results, building on the optimistic outlook for ICT industries and markets. It encourages fast growth built around the convergence at the levels of networks, services, and devices. Its objective is to ensure that Europe’s citizens, businesses and governments make the best use of ICTs in order to improve industrial competitiveness, support growth, and the creation of jobs and to help address key societal challenges. Now, if you only refer to specific cities, Seville is a very important location for the Information Society. The eEurope 2005 Action Plan was launched at the Seville European Council in June 2005, and last month, the candidates presentation for the Information Society Awards was held there to distinguish those who have incorporated ICTs to the community's reality.


In your opinion, what was or is the president that did or does important changes in America???

Important good or important bad?  Let's go for one of each:\n\nImportant bad changes were wrought by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the father of the beaurocracy.  He use the excuse of recovery from the great depression to create an alphabet soup of government programs, all funded by taxpayers, which were supposedly combating poverty.  It is true that a lot of unemployed people got jobs with the government, and as a temporary measure it might not have been all that bad.  Such things are alway vulnerable to favoritism and various forms of corruption, of course, but at least people who had been hungry started bringing home a paycheck.  But those programs, and the precedent they set, are mostly still in place, getting larger and more expensive and less effective all the time, and the taxpayers are paying for it all.\n\nTherefore, the president who made the most valuable changes, or at least tried to, or pehaps started to, was Ronald Reagan.  He vowed to disassemble the beaurocracy, reduce taxes, and deregulate industry.  He did his best, but the job was too big for him.  However, he was largely instrumental in the downfall of the Soviet Union, mostly by scaring them into spending so much more than they could afford on their military.  The Soviet Union, as a communist country, was strangled by its beaurocracy.  It was therefore enormously inefficient.  The money it spent on the military, and on the space program once Reagan warned them that space programs had an obvious military purpose, was more than it could afford, and it went belly-up.  Also, you may recall that there were a group of hostages which the Democrats did not have what it took to get released, who were handed over when the kidnappers realized Ronald Reagan was indeed being sworn in as president.  They did not want to deal with him, because he had guts, and gave back the hostages.


Am I the only one angered at the fact that Bill Clinton used Mrs. King's funeral as a way to promote himself?

Mrs. King had the exact same ideals as those "liberals" you are bashing. They were also her friends. I'm sure they said nothing they thought inappropriate. Where ever she is, I'm sure she was applauding. Do you people even know what she went through and stood for? \n\nI think the Bush family were there for political gain. He hasn't attended a meeting with the NAACP in how long? Not too many folks at that funeral like him, but at least they were gracious enough to invite him...and yes, they did invite him.

According to Wiki-Numerology, "Eight is considered to be the number of karmic influences where we are called upon to pay debts incurred in this and previous lives. It represents hard work and lessons learned through experience, and can therefore be a difficult number for some because of the very restrictiveness of its nature. More than any other number, eight seeks money and material success. However, the hardships eight faces in pursuit of its rewards are extreme. Huge reversals in life are common for the eight. Because reputation and community standing are of paramount importance, those who have it figured prominently would be wise to lead honest lives, otherwise any indiscretions will more than likely be uncovered in a most unflattering manner. Although it is considered "good luck" in Chinese culture, it is of no particular importance according to the esoteric beliefs of Chinese numerology."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerology#Eight\n\nIn Billiards, when playing Eight-Ball, the Eight-Ball is the only ball which is considered both a solid and a stripe - and yet neither.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_ball\n\nThis special status of "in-between-ness" of "both yet neither" is akin to the magickal concept of "walking between the worlds."\n\nhttp://beyondweird.com/occult/wbtw01.html\n\nAdditionally, 8 is the special number of Chaos Mages, who are likely the only occultists to take the Magic 8-Ball seriously as a divinatory tool.  Or well, at least as seriously as they take anything.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_magic\n\nBut more likely than not, inventor Abe Bookman just thought it looked cool.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_8_ball\nhttp://8ball.ofb.net/faq.html

where can I find a biography on Alexander Miles at?

Alexander Miles of Duluth, Minnesota patented an electric elevator (U.S. pat#371,207) on October 11, 1887 (see patent below). Alexander Miles did not invent the first elevator, however, his design was very important. Alexander Miles improved the method of the opening and closing of elevator doors; and he improved the closing of the opening to the elevator shaft when an elevator was not on that floor. Alexander Miles created an automatic mechanism that closed access to the shaft. At that time elevator patrons or operators were often required to manually shut a door to cutoff access to the elevator shaft. People would forget to close the shaft door and as a result there were accidents with people falling down the elevator shafts.

Is homosexuality something that you are born with or a option?

I believe you are born with it.  My cousin is gay, and I swear by the time he was two years old you could tell he was going to be gay.  Before you say it was influence or whatever, let me tell you he was brought up in a perfectly average household, with a loving mom and dad, and a macho big brother.  We are born the way we are born.


is there anywhere to watch superbowlXL for free over the internet?

Is body-building possible for a 50 years old man?

Check out the link on Albert Beckles. He competed in body building championships until he was 62.\n\n\nHe's not just a fluke. There was a study done in the late 80's or early 90's where a group of researchers went to a nursing home to start the residents (70 years old and above) on a weight-lifting program.\n\nThey started with half pound weights and worked their way up. After several months, they all felt extra energy and some were even able to walk without the use of their canes.\n\nI'm not aware of any follow-up data.

What can I do about my slow heartbeat problem?

Depends on the cause of your slow heartbeat, and how slow it is. Athletic people may have slow heartbeats and that's normal. If you are on medicines that can cause your heart rate to slow down (e.g., beta blockers), you might be able to stop taking them or reduce the dose. If you have hypothyroidism that causes your heart rate to slow down, you could take thyroid supplements. If it's a heart conduction defect, you'll need a pacemaker.

Workout to shape your hips, butt and thighs?

The ultimate hip, butt, and thigh exercise are lunges. They target those areas big time. Be careful these are a little tricky to do at first and form is extremely important. The pay-offs are phenom!!! Check some of the muscle mags as I am sure they cover lunges at some point. If I were you I would not use any weight at first, just your natrual body weight. Hope this helps....


do they make cigarettes without nicotine?

Of course there are cigarettes without nicotine, and they can be made easily.  Nicotine is the most addictive substance PUT in cigarettes by the tobacco companies to keep you hooked on them.  Why would cigarette companies eliminate this chemical?\n\nQuestion for you smokers trying to quit:  Have you noticed that it is currently harder to quit smoking than it was 15 years ago?  That's because more nicotine is added.  As a smoker, I wish that cigarettes were illegal.

You don't "select" an international language. This should be a language of the most intellectually and technically advanced nation. In the previous millennium the fitst international language was French, before WWII it seems we had two international languages - German and English, now we have English. It became "lingua franca" because after WWII the US became the most economically and technically advanced nation. That is why, whether you like it or not, you've got to learn English.Then, of course, a language which is supposed to be international has to have a rich litterary and cultural tradition.\nAll the aforementioned is not the case of artificial languages like esperanto, that is why they are not widespread.\nBy the way,  English  is not a very easy language, but I wouldn't say it is that difficult.\nFrench is much more difficult.\nConjugation of Spanish verbs is very difficult, and business Spanish is not easy either.\nRusian is an extremely difficult language.\nAnd Hebrew, in spite of the fact that it is, in a way, an "artificial" and "mathematical" language (I mean modern Hebrew), is a very difficult language too.\nWhich means, again, that there are no "easy" languages. You've just got to learn a foreign language. And it takes time and a lot of perseverance, beleive me. The earlier you start - the better.

Satan offers only 3 temptations, the same 3 he offered Eve &\nJesus. The lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh & the pride of life. He offers this to people to get them focused on anything but Jesus. He can't claim your soul, he leads you astray, and you miss the opportunity to Choose Christ & be saved. All unsaved people are destined to hell, the same as Satan.

sry this sux... which sex is most responsive to the von gierke disease... anybody know?

Doesn't look like a sex factor:\n\nDefinition:\n\nVon Gierke disease is a group of inherited metabolic disorders that involve increased glycogen storage. Since glycogen is needed to fuel muscles, problems with its metabolism can affect the whole body.\n\nSome problems include slow growth, enlarged liver, gout, kidney failure, and chronic low blood sugar. In the past, von Gierke disease was associated with stunted growth, delayed or absent puberty, and early death.\n\nWith the development of treatments, growth, puberty, and quality of life have markedly improved for those with von Gierke disease.\nAlternative Names:\nType I glycogen storage disease\nCauses, incidence, and risk factors:\n\nAll type I glycogen storage diseases are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Autosomal chromosomes are the non-sex chromosomes. If both parents are carriers of the mutated gene, each of their children has a 25% chance of inheriting the disease.\n\nAll the subtypes of this disease share a common feature -- lack of proteins responsible for transporting or breaking down the components of glycogen. As a result, abnormal amounts of glycogen accumulate in various tissues, causing a wide range of symptoms.\n\nChecked 4 other sites as well.


First off I just want to say that Second Hand Smoking is not linked to any kind of health risks. If anyone did a little research on the topic they would find out that the studies that the EPA did in the early 90s suggested no links. They fudged the numbers and the methods to make it look like there was a link.\n\nTrue smoking is linked to hazards, but so is drinking, eating too much, and just about every other thing that humans do in a daily life. Hell, driving is hazardous, do you think we should outlaw that as well? It is my god-given right to do whatever the hell I want with my body as long as I don't put others in danger, and if you look at the links below you will see second hand smoke is not proven to be dangerous.\n\nThey reason people want to outlaw smoking, is because everyone today is totally ignorant to the facts. They believe what they are told, and they are told that second hand smoking is dangerous. People today want to be politically correct all the time. Just because you don't like what I am doing doesn't give you the right to make me stop. Thats like telling someone to stop eating meat, because they are a veggitarian. What is this world coming to???\n\nOh by the way, I have never smoked a day in my life. I can't stand it, but I'm not going to take away somebody's rights just because I don't like it. I'll just enjoy myself somewhere else.

Let:\n\nL = length of the rectangle\nW = width of the rectangle\nP = perimeter of the rectangle\n\nGiven:\n\nW = x\nL = 2x - 4\nP = 2L + 2W from geometry\n\nSolution:\n\nP = 2L + 2W\n64 = 2[2x - 4] + 2x\n\n2[2x - 4] + 2x = 64\n\n[4x - 8] + 2x = 64\n\n4x - 8 + 2x = 64\n\n4x + 2x = 64 + 8\n\n6x = 72\n\nx  =  72/6\n\nx  =  12 cm.\n\nTherefore:\n\nW = width = x = 12 cm. ANS.\n\nL = length = 2x - 4 = 2(12) - 4 = 24 - 4 = 20 cm. ANS.


im 43 when can i expect to go threw menopause?

Menopause can happen anywhere between your 40's to the 60's.  Most likely you are going thru pre-menopause, which can start as early as 30.  That's the hot flashes and night sweats and all that.  If by chance you are experiencing those sypmtoms of pre menopause, and you are having a hard time handling it, try some herbal remedies.  I've heard black cohosh really helps with hot flashes.


What is the current world suppy of crude oil and natural gas?

That question can’t be answered until you tell us what we mean by ‘supply’. Oil supplies are measured in 3 basic ways.\n\nThe first type of supply is the liquid crude reserve supply. This is the amount of liquid oil that we absolutely, definitely know we can make a prophet out of at today’s prices and using today’s technology.  We have drilled well into reserve supplies, we know they are there, we know how much and we know the quality. Proven reserves are in the 1017-981 billion barrel range. (See link 1 below)\n\nThe second type is the  liquid crude  resource supply. This is the amount of liquid oil that we know exists in the ground that we can reasonably expect to be able to get to if we need it. We haven’t fully explored resource supplies. There might have been a few test holes drilled and various seismic tests but at the moment it’s not worth doing more detailed investigation because it isn’t profitable enough. Current estimates of world liquid oil resources range from 2, 248 to 3, 896 billion barrels. (See link 2 below).\n\nThen come the non-liquid oil resources. These are massive. They include tar sands and oil shales amongst other things. Although Canada has been profitably extracting sand oil for decades it is less profitable than drilling for liquid crude oil, so nobody has fully explored the extent of sand and shale oil. We know it’s huge, far larger than the amount of liquid crude ever discovered. But just how large is uncertain. Best estimates say that worldwide tar sands amount to 6,200 billion barrels with 890 billion\nbarrels being “recoverable”, while oil shale  in the US alone amounts to some 160,000 billion barrels (see link 3 below).\n\n______________\n>>>> guess-timates put our production peak around 25 years.\n\nNo, they don't. They put our liquid crude peak at around then, but the question asked about all oil, not just liquid crude. The leak for all oil won't come for another 100 years or so.

when did elmo on sesame street start on the show?

Sesame Street-staff writer Nancy Sans once described Elmo's origins. "There was this extra red puppet lying around and the cast would pick him up sometimes and try to create a personality, but nothing seemed to materialize." The puppet was performed by Caroll Spinney in the early-1970s, Brian Muehl from 1979-1981, and Richard Hunt from 1981-1984. Sans continues that "One day [in 1984], Kevin Clash, a talented puppeteer, raised him up and brought energy and life into Elmo and from that day forward we would all write for Elmo. Kevin's performance inspired the writers to develop Elmo's character. The lesson here is never think you're unimportant because you never know what is going to happen." Should Clash be unable to perform Elmo, John Tartaglia is the current backup performer

Check that out.  I've had the same thing happen to me, and it took me a while to figure out.


have any had a abortion surgery and did not when to see their doctor? and wad happen next?

If you have had an abortion, it is *vital* that you keep a follow-up appointment with your doctor.  Without a follow-up visit to ensure that everything is healing properly, you could end up with an un-checked infection (which can lead to sterility among other things.).  \n\nThis is not an experience you want to go through, and one that a close friend of mine had to go through.  Please follow up with your doctor.

Pretty bad!\n1.3 million dead young men, 1.4 million birth that didn't happen - the country population went down from 40 to 39 million, even with the (re)added Alsace and Moselle. The country worst affected by the conflict (apart from Serbia). One fourth of the country is destroyed (including the mines of the north area, very important at the time, flooded by retiring Germans).\nA huge war debt (mainly to the US).\nFor few years, until the early 1930's, the illusion, prestige and political power of the winner (being the main terrestrial army in the winning camp), new colonies or protectorates (Syria and Lebanon from the Ottoman Empire, Togo, part of Congo, part of Cameroon from Germany).\nMany people wanting "never that to happen again".\nBooming economy in the 20's with a strong immigration (mainly Italian and Polish, 2.9 million immigrants in 1931).

Your internet service provider might use a spam filter, which prevents mail from certain addresses from getting to your main mail folder.  If your ISP has email access via the web, log onto your account and check if there is another folder (called "spam" or "rejected mail"), and this folder might have your missing email in it.  Then you should be able to flag the address as "ok", so future messages will go to your main mail folder.\n\n   It is different for every ISP, so you will have to check their help page to find out how yours works.\n\n   The other possibility is if the file has an attachment, it may be too large for your ISP to accept, or there might be virus software on your computer or on the ISP that rejects files with certain attachements to guard against viruses and worms.\n\n   Hope this helps!

why do we drive in parkways and park in driveways?

By definition a driveway is really a private road that connects to the public street system. Today, these 'roads' are usually short, but the name sticks. We park our cars on them because, after having 'driven' the 'way' to the private house, we would obviously have to stop when we arrived. We drive on parkways because the 'park' of parkway is not the same word as 'park' meaning to stop. A parkway is defined as broad road usually marked with scenery and a landscaped island. Scenery? Landscaping? Sounds a lot like a 'park', as in the recreation space. Thus we drive on parkways because they are glorified ('park' like) road (Latin 'via' = road, and 'via' is also related to the word 'way', hense a 'parkway' literally a 'park-like road'). Hope this helps.

Is it true that decocratic capitalism works best if greed is not present, otherwise it becomes a dictatorship?

Nope. Greed and charity exists in all of us. To eliminate greed would require a dictatorship capable of stripping the rights of citicens to express such human traits.   \n\nDemocracy and Capitalism is the framework only. Individuals are what keep the US from becoming a dictatorship. It is incumbent on us as voters to pay attention to what our leaders are saying. Are they playing politics and following the money and power trail or are they going to do what is right even if it might cost them an election.  \n\nAs voters we must hold our leaders accountable by voting them out of office when they become greedy or selfish. Some Democrats are worse than Republicans and some Republicans are worse than Democrats. \n\nIf your party lets you down then get involved and shake things up. But don't be fooled into thinking that a form of government that does not relish your vote will somehow respect its peoples rights. Our leaders can be voted out. If you really want to improve our way of government start a bi-partisian movement for congressional term limits.


events that led to the founding of Rhode Island:?

Roger Williams and a group of religious followers founded the town of Providence in what is today known as Rhode Island after their banishment from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Williams believed in the importance of liberty of conscience, which became an important principle in the founding of Rhode Island and ultimately in the founding of the United States. Officially called "The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations," Rhode Island is one of the six New England states and one of the original 13 states of the Union, entering in 1790. It is the smallest state in area in the country. Rhode Island's flower is the violet, and the capital is Providence. The name "Rhode Island" is credited to Italian navigator Giovanni Verrazano who compared the nearby island Block Island to Rhodes in Greece. Later Williams thought that Verrazano had been referring to island where they had settled and began calling the island Rhode Island.

what is the difference beetwen farms 50 year ago and now?

The basic difference is that many farms today are computerized. The farmers have to know how to operate machinery. 50 years ago, farmers and their families still had to do everything manually. That is why it was important in those days to have more male children so as to have more working hands. Now this question is almost irrelevant, even one man can operate those machines. Hope that helps.

how do you stop dust from colecting in a room so they do not destroy your desktops?

This may sound stupid.  I installed a huge network at a well known lumber company and we actually took the cases apart and stretched pantyhose over any openings or holes to the outside.  If your computer is hidden you can actually cover the system with them and cut out the areas around the disk.   They work very well.  There are numerous sites you can google it and it will say the same.


Does anybody have any good drills or exercises that would help me with my basketball skills?

Jason Williams of the Miami Heat used to wear big leather work gloves and throw passes against the walls of a gym. Once he could make a great pass with the gloves on, he knew he was ready to take the gloves off and make an even better pass with his bare hands. Pretty cool.

At 1 Cor. 6:9,10 it says fornicators & homosexuals not to inherit God"s Kingdom. Why religions say ok ?

I totally agree with what "The Thinker"says. Some religions try to change what God said will never change.\nHis word is forever. What He said in the Old or New Testament stays forever. He never contradicts Himself. \nPeople and religions change the word of God because they do not want to give up their worldly lives. They want the easy way.

Does anyone know a godd exercise how to make your arms stronger.For exmple to make 100 pull-ups.?

Hmm.  Well, you are sure looking to do a heck of a lot of pull-ups!  I would focus on the Lats and biceps the most.  Do exercises like lat pull-downs (regular grip, reverse grip, wide grip, close grip), bent-over rows, seated rows, back flyes (rhomboids), bicep curls-standard, wide-arm, 21s (3 phase bicep exercise that starts with 7 low curls, then 7 high curls, then 7 full curls), hammer curls, preacher curl.  Body weight is going to have a large affect on getting to 100 too.  I would makes sure that your body fat percentage is in the low teens (12-13% for a fit male) or you are just going to making it that much more difficult on yourself.  All of the above exercise should be able to be found by typing in variations of the name on a search engine.
