I love reading books about subjects such as magic, mystery etc. could you tell me about some good books?

Well, that depends a lot on what else you're looking for in  a book.  If you want some romantic overlays, Nora Roberts  has the Three Sisters Trilogy about witches in New England, and another trio about Celtic Gods and Goddesses, Tears of the Moon is the only title that comes to mind.  Mercedes Lackey does some nice Gothic type magic stories, usually listed under sci-fi/fantasy, and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough has a series with Godmother in the title -- great takes on fairy tales.\n\nAs far as more DIY style books relating to magic, Silver Ravenwolf does some nice stuff, To Ride a Silver Broomstick is a great primer.  Anything by Scott Cunningham is very informative -- more reference than practice.\n\nMystery?  You can't go wrong with Elizabeth Peters, check out the Amelia Peabody series.  There are about 15 books relating to the adventures of this Victorian Egyptologist.\n\nAnd just for a good, funny read -- Terry Pratchett.  The Discworld series is fantastic -- magic is part of pretty much all the stories, and there's usually some mystery to be solved.  Try The Witches Abroad.


What is a pie-hole? And why does everyone tell me to "shut it"???

1.)No one knows for sure how long killer whales live. \n\n2.) For unknown reasons, killer whales have a high calf mortality rate in some areas of the world.  In the Pacific Northwest, for example, 43% of all calves die in the first six months.  In other killer whale populations, calf mortality may be as high as 50% during the first year. \n\n3.)  Long-term studies will ultimately answer this question.  By counting growth layers in teeth, scientists find that killer whales in the North Atlantic may live at least 35 years.  Studies are still refining this method of aging. \n\n\nResearchers can estimate a killer whale's age by examining a sliced section of tooth and counting growth layer groups.\n\n\n4.)  Scientists in the Pacific Northwest estimate life expectancies by using information derived from field observations that began in the 1970s.  These scientists believe that if a killer whale survives the first six months, a female's life expectancy is 50 years and a male's is 30 years. \n\n5.)  With continued research, it is likely that differences in longevity will be found in killer whale populations around the world.


I used to be in the same shoes than you.  If arms are small and you want to build them up do the following \n\n1-work out arms 2 times per week with free waits.  Use enough weights to only be able to do 10 reps. That will build bulk.  do only three excercises, tricepts curls, bicept curls, dips, etc. per excercise day.\n\n2-take amino acides and protein with your diet.


Can someone tell me what happened to my account?

It can and does happen.  I lost an account because someone had jacked my password and changed it.  I fought with yahoo for 2 months over this, trying to get my account back with no luck.  I could even prove the account was mine, but still didn't get it back.  Anyway, change your password regularily, and also run a spyware scan and keep your virus software up to date.  Trojan viruses collect and send your passwords out so be sure to keep all your software updated.

Why do USA government always resist Neuclear Reactor of Iran ?

That's a misconception.  As much as I dislike the current US government, I must say that they do not resist nuclear power in Iran.  They, along with most other democratic governments, do not approve of the type of reactors that Iran is building.  \n\nIran is developing "breeder" reactors and  making enriched uranium, whose only "reasonable" application is weaponry.  If Iran were truly interested in nuclear reactors for domestic power there are a number of different designs that are cheaper and more efficient, and don't create weapons.

what are the recognition differences between a lizard and a baby alligator?

Alligators have a depressed (flattened) body and a compressed tail. Also, most young specimes are more brightly colored than "dull black" as you describe it. If you see it again, check the snout (long and with terminal nostrils in alligators), and the eyes (vertical pupils in alligators... but also in many lizards such as geckos). I'm puzzled by your reference to a chameleon, though, because those are not precisely typically lizard-like. I'm guessing it was probably a lizard; the dull coloration could be due to its being a large, rather old specimen.\n\n---------------\nUpdate: Thanks Suttkus! I wasn't thinking of anoles, and I know that no chameleons occur there :-P

Can you share with me your experiences with abusers who have gone to anger managment treatment???

people with borderline personality disorder can be very scary. they take on the feelings of others and are pretty much out of touch with their own bodies. i work with them and they can be the sweetest at times and then they can be the scariest, mouthiest people ever. i myself have also went to anger management and it really didnt do much for me. i was 17 and i thought that the world revolved around me and it wasnt until i was 21 did i realize that the way that i was acting was foolish and thta i could really hurt someone. so i really dont think that is effective. you have to find it within yourself and really see that what you are doing is dumb. and with the fact that he has borderline personality he probably wont find that. i think that you are putting yourself in real danger and i hope that there are no children involved in this. if there is i would ask you to please get them out of there!

can I lose 20 pounds safely in a few months?

it depends on how many months a "few" is and how overweight you are.  my best advice for losing weight would be to concern yourself more with the eating healthy and exercising part - the weight loss will come naturally.  i think that 20 pounds is possible, although i believe the general rule of thumb is that you shouldn't lose more than a pound/week.  drink a lot of water - it will help curb your appetite and keep you from losing water weight which will come back quickly.

Pros and cons of teaching for on-line university? I have PhD in Ed, MA in Lit. Best/worst schools?

I have had so-so experiences. I am currently teaching undergraduates online and the pay is around 1300 for a nine week class that is capped at 20 students. At my school you can teach up to six classes at once. They pay you 66% of your pay in the beginning and the final 33% at the end after you have turned in grades. I am teaching people who are adult learners who have not been in school for a while. So at times it gets very frustrating. The biggest issue that I had was with plagiarism. I taught two classes recently and it ended up being around 20 hours per week on the computer doing work. Some places to go are the University of Phoenix Online, Kaplan University or Axia College which has been bought by UOP online. I think that if you are retired then you would be perfect for an online teacher position. I was working two jobs and trying to teach at the same time and it was rough for me. In addition, I am in an online MBA program. I hope this helps you out!

y-intercept occurs when x=0\n\nSo, set x=0, and your equation becomes:\n    2(0) - y = 4\n\nor, because 2*0 = 0,\n    \n    y = -4 is your y-intercept.\n\nThe slope can be found by writing the equation in standard "y = mx + b" form, where "m" is the slope. In your example, that would be:\n\n    y = 2x - 4\n\nSo, the slope ("m") is 2.\n\nDone and done.


can you remove the tartar in your teeth? how?

Periodontal disease, an infection of the teeth, gums, and bone that surrounds the teeth, is the number-one cause of adult tooth loss. It begins when plaque, a sticky film of food and bacteria, builds up on your teeth. If plaque isn't removed, it hardens into calculus, also called tartar. \n\nThe buildup of plaque and tartar dramatically increases the number of harmful bacteria in your mouth and can result in deepening spaces between the teeth and gums, called pockets. Bacteria trigger the body's immune system to produce enzymes. These enzymes destroy the bone surrounding the teeth, which ultimately leads to tooth loss.\n\nYou cannot remove calculus and tartar underneath the gum.  The dental hygienist or the dentist can do that for you.  They use either the hand scalers or the ultrasonic scaler to accomplish this job.\n\nThe ultrasonic scaler consists of a wand with a small scaling tip that produces a soft ultrasonic vibration. The small, quick vibrations in combination with a water flow give us a whole new level of effectiveness in calculus removal. The benefits of ultrasonic scaling include:\n\n• Increased efficiency of calculus removal; \n• Less need for hand scaling of stubborn deposits; and \n• More comfortable access to the root surfaces, thanks to the small tip.\n\nUltrasonic scaling removes calculus and reduces the number of harmful bacteria below the gum line. It is an important tool in the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease.


Middle ear visualization is difficult otoscopically* due to the usual opacity of the eardrum. Though various procedures have been developed, difficulties exist in determining effusion and other middle ear anomalies. Past studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of A-scan ultrasound for such purposes. The present study reports initial results of real-time B-scan sonography on patients with normal and effusion-filled middle ears. Consistent landmarks are seen in the normals. Fluid appears in the abnormals as a band or elliptical area of nonreflectance medial to the eardrum.\n \n*Otoscope- A lighted instrument that lets the physician see far down into the outer ear canal.


i need a track listing and year of a Loretta Lynn Album called Country Gold released by Polygram in NZ plz?


g/f says she has dormant STD how often should i have her test to be safe?

Depends on which STD she has. If it's chlamydia, gonnorhea, trichonomosis, or syphilis then she needs to get treated. These can be completely gotten rid of.\n\nHPV (genital warts) Depending on the strain, may go away on its own or may lurk inside her cells. The good news is that 75% of women have it but only 1% or so go on to develop cervical cancer and die. The bad news is that that's a lot of women... especially when you think that the number includes virgins and monogamous women of all ages. If this is what she has she can get vaccinated and you can use condoms... but that's no guarantee. You can still get the virus. It won't have much of an effect on you (besides an ugly wart that you'll get burned off) but then it will be lurking inside you, if it's the nasty strain your next girlfriend will be at risk for cervical cancer.\n\nHepatitis B: If she's chronically infected or a healthy carrier (tests positive for hepatitis B surface antigen) it will probably never be safe. On the other hand if she was infected, cleared the disease and only has antibodies against the virus, then you should be safe. I would recommend that you get vaccinated.\n\nHepatitis C: If she cleared the disease completely you're safe. If she's chronically ill, but doesn't have symptoms you're at a low risk from sex. (About a 1% chance each year you're with her) But don't share needles with her or I'll be seeing you in the liver transplant clinic in 20 years.\n\nHerpes: don't even waste your time testing. She can take acyclovir and hold down the outbreaks. But the virus is in there lurking and people periodically become infectious even without having a visible sore.\n\nHIV: Perhaps someone could be made non-infectious if you could get their virus count down to zero. But the virus is still in there lurking. (Notice the trend here?) condoms and tests every six months or year. but no guarantees.

I also was fortunate enough to see him live, at the Slippery Noodle Inn in Indianapolis. \n\nMy good friends and I sat up on the 2nd floor where we were basically the only people, compared to it being standing room only downstairs. Since we were alone up there, we told the server that we would just come down to her when we needed something. \n\nWe had a great view from above to watch Gate in action. I still remember his incredible (and overlooked!) musicianship, despite having at least one pitcher too many of a good brew and just the right amount of  some herbal relaxation.

No God does not respect you or anyone. No Jesus is not divided, Satans Kingdom is. As far as mercy. Men started judging the law because the people wanted a King and a Judge.

God says to judge without repect of persons. There is your answer.

What is the importance of the book, Ethan Frome?

Summary - Ethan was a young man taking care of his mother until she died. Ethan was afraid of being alone during that winter so he married his mother's nurse Zeena, who was an older woman. They had planned to move to a big city and start a new life. Lack of fertile land and enough money prevented their dreams from coming true. Zeena became sick and Ethan realized he was never getting out of Starkfield. After a while, Zeena stopped complaining because Ethan stopped listening. Their house became silent and cold. All of that changed when Mattie, Zeena's cousin comes to stay with them. She is a young, vibrant woman who brings life to the house. Ethan ends up falling in love with her. She offers the warm qualities of a relationship that Zeena never showed. Ethan does Mattie's chores around the house for her and sneaks extra time with her. Ethan found a companion who showed interest in him. It was almost like a childhood crush. Zeena is very suspicious of their relationship. The last straw was when Mattie broke the pickle dish while Zeena was away. This was significant because the pickle dish had never been used because it was the nicest thing they owned. Zeena gets rid of Mattie with the excuse that she needs a new nurse and they can't afford to keep both girls. Mattie has no place to go. Ethan stands up to Zeena and insists that he take her to the train. On the way to the train they stop to sleigh ride down a hill. After doing so, Mattie decides that they should commit suicide together that so they would never have to be alone. They attempt to commit suicide by sleighing into a tree. They are unsuccessful but both end up with permanent physical injuries. They end up all living together miserably with Zeena taking care of them.\n\nYou can get more help from the same site\nhttp://www.bellmore-merrick.k12.ny.us/ethanf.html and from this one\nhttp://www.gradesaver.com/classicnotes/titles/frome/


Can I use a Federal Pell Grant to buy a laptop?

Your Pell Grant would never have been disbursed directly from the Feds to you.  If you received a check from the school, they would have first applied it to your student accout and, then, if you owed nothing, they would have cut you a check.  \n\nTechnically, yes, Pell grant funds are meant to be used for educational expenses, but when your school creates your "Cost of Attendance" budget, it is allowed to allocate \n"a reasonable amount... for the documented rental or purchase of a personal computer that the student will use for study for the enrollment period. For example, a computer purchased in the summer for use in the fall term may be included."  If they have cut you a check, it means that your Financial Aid has not exceeded your educational expenses, so you're fine to use the check as you see fit.

the term 6-4-3 double play in baseball.. what do the numbers refer to?

Each position player is assigned a number.\n\n1. Pitcher\n2. Catcher\n3. 1st Base\n4. 2nd Base\n5. 3rd base\n6. Shortstop\n7. Left Field\n8. Center Field\n9. Right Field.\n\nTherefore, a 6-4-3 double play would be going from Shortstop to 2nd base, to 1st base.\n\nAlternatively, a 4-6-3 double play would be going from 2Bman to Short stop, to the 1st baseman.


what are the negative aspects to stem cell therapy?

It's not so much the acutal medical risks, but the ehtical and moral implications of conducting research in the field.\n\nThe following is an excerpt from a research paper I recently wrote concerning stem cell research:\n\nEmbryonic stem cell research raises immense ethical and religious concern:\nThe issue of research involving stem cells derived from human embryos is increasingly the subject of a national debate and dinner table discussions. The issue is confronted every day in laboratories as scientists ponder the ethical ramifications of their work. It is agonized over by parents and many couples as they try to have children or to save children already born. The issue is debated within the church, with people of different faiths- even many of the same faith- coming to different conclusions. Many people are finding the more they know about stem cell research, the less certain they are about the right ethical and moral conclusions. (“Bush Embryonic Stem Cell Decision” 1)\nQuite often, the status of an embryo is debated among scientists, politicians, theologians, philosophers, and even everyday people. There are many ideas circulating the globe as some vie to protect the embryo and others hope to use it to benefit society. Those that oppose stem cell research claim that the methods scientists use are not morally justifiable. Human embryos, in their minds, are “not mere biological tissues or clusters of cells; they are the tiniest of human beings” (Espejo 49). According to the Human Embryo Research Panel and the National Bioethics Commission, the embryo should be considered a living organism from its earliest stages (Espejo 46-50). People therefore claim that scientists are alienating the rights of living human beings by performing experiments on embryos: \nThe painful lessons of the past should have taught us that human beings must not be conscripted for research without their permission- no matter what the alleged justification- especially when that research means the forfeiture of their health or lives. Even if an individual’s death is believed to be otherwise imminent, we still do not have a license to engage in lethal experimentation- just as we may not experiment on death row prisoners or harvest their organs without their consent. (Espejo 49)\nThe widespread Christian view that life begins at the moment of conception has caused many to believe that the destruction of the human embryo is murder (Espejo 4). People also believe that is irrelevant whether the embryos are capable of implanting in a uterus and developing, as they are embryos nonetheless (Morris 2). As Morris questions, “are we willing to recognize life, even if it’s living in a Petri dish?” (2). Those that sympathize with these concerns feel that research requiring the destruction of a human embryo should be banned. Others argue that since IVF procedures often generate more embryos than needed, the excess embryos should be used for potentially life-saving research rather than being discarded (Espejo 36-37). Also, they claim embryos do not have the same rights as adult humans. The suggestion that a mass of 50-100 cells with no heart and no brain is entitled to the same protections is “unprecedented and not embodied in American law” (Espejo 38). With this in mind, it seems that embryonic stem cell research should not be undermined by the aforementioned arguments. There are additional concerns however. The use of SCNT is often criticized by those opposed to cloning, as a majority of people view cloning as morally wrong.  SCNT has been used in reproductive cloning, such as the cloning of Dolly the sheep. In the public’s mind, the distinction between this form of cloning and therapeutic cloning, which involves SCNT used for medical purposes, has blurred. The two should not be confused however, as they are completely separate procedures. Outlawing the use of SCNT would prevent the development of very promising techniques for curing disease


Your bone marrow makes red blood cells and white blood cells all day long.  Your blood is never the same every day.  The cells die off all the time all day and night.  Donating blood is to give other people blood products like red blood cells, plasma and other things so that if they lose blood during surgery it can be replaced or if people are anemic and need it because their bone marrow is not producing enough for their bodies needs.  Hope this helps\n\n\nOMG bone marrow transplants are NOT for white blood cells. There are injectable medicines that they give people who do not have enough white blood cells that forces their own marrow to make more of the white blood cells.

How can I convince my daughter she's dating the wrong and dishonest guy? Please give me a clue...?

I am assuming here that your daughter is in her teens but even if she is older it is in everyone's hearts to show their parents that they are independent and capable of making decisions for themselves. Any efforts by you to tell them they are wrong can only drive them harder to prove they are right. I think it is time to let her ride this one through. No matter how much your heart aches to see her obviously making a mistake, you are going to have to bite your tongue and put some trust in the good things you have taught her. If you have done right by her and taught her well she will come to her senses...  Fighting her will only push her away.\nTough call I know, but again... have trust in the values you have taught her....


No, if you said it, it is covered.  And always add at the end for these sins and the sins that I have failed to mention because I cannot remember them.  Because once the priest offers the absolution, you have a clean slate.  Go forth and sin no more.\n\nAddition:\nI agree also with punkchik below me.  In the sense that if you feel that you need to get it off your chest then say it again for counciling purposes.  But sacramentally you are covered.\n\nAddition:\nI love how people are answering a catholic question with non catholic answers.  The question asker is not asking for an opinion on whether or not they should confess to a priest or not. They are asking if they should repeat the sin again.\n\nI am Catholic and studied 8 years of Catholic Theology.


I basically told my best friend I hated him, but I said it in anger. How do I make it better now?

Write him a letter, or just keep on saying that you are sorry.


throughout a stars life-cycle, it is constantly heating materials (hydrogen and iron) and pushing them to the surface to cool, and to the center to heat up and melt.\nThis is part of nuclear fission.\n\nafter a very long time, the sun starts to lose energy, and cant push the iron up from its core and gradually grows larger, turning red (hence red giant),\nEventually, the pressure from its mass, and it's failure to push it all away from its core will result in the star collapsing into itself, potentially turning into a black hole.


does any1 know a paintball magazine 4 a guy that never played?

If you don't believe Jesus died for our sins (as I don't), what did his death and resurrection show us?

Assuming it happened; The resurrection was a learning tool to demonstrate that death isn't what we think it is.  It demonstrated that death of the body occurs but that Christ / Buddha nature / Spirit is eternal and deathless.


"I like you" translated in Afrikaans is: "Ek hou van jou". He will fully understand that you are not in love with him, but you like him (and it may or may not develop into love).\n\n"Jy" and "u" both means "you". "U" is only used for formal discussions or correspondence, or when addressing a senior or much older person. Afrikaners know that the English language do not have an equivalent for "u" (maybe "thy" and "thou"!) so most older people will not be offended if you use "jy" en "jou" instead of "u".\n\n[Jy = you, and jou = your.  E.g... \n"Waar is jy? = "Where are you?" and \n"Gee my jou hand" = "Give me your hand".]


does the army discharge people anymore since the iraq situation is so bad?

YES, they most certainly do.  My husband was facing a medical discharge last year, but they decided there was really no reason for it, since the condition didn't surface until he had been in the military for four years, and it can be controlled by medication.  There are other people who have gotten discharged though, even people we know.


No, the problem is multi lateral.\n\nThe main issue is that starting in 2011, there will be more people getting benifits than those that are paying into the fund.\n\nWhy 2011?  The "Baby Boomer" generation will start to retire.    Because of the development of birth control and abortion they did not adequately reproduce themselves in order to sustain the program.  Hence our population demographics now resembles a sort of reverse pyramid... with the greater percentage of those becoming older moving to the  top.... So what happens?  It naturally falls and collapses.\n\nThe second issue is that the Social Security fund is used as a cash money 'grab bag' Not enough money in the budget for Senator Wastepennies project?  Get it out of Social Security.  The result is that there's nothing in there but a big I.O.U. and the populace is basically paying the benifits as we go along.


my friend is a meth user, when he  injects it he has feelings of beeing gay. but normally he is straight?

Ok your friend needs serious help.  My ex husband started using crack and after our divorce, I found out it was the same way with him.  When he was high, he would find other men to have sex with.  It's all about the drugs.  Get your friend off drugs...fast!

What happened to George Hincapie's bike?

I am assuming you are referring to the crash that George Hincapie experienced at Paris-Roubaix this weekend.  Apparently the steering tube broke on his bike, causing his handle bars to become detached from the bike.  The steering tube is the tube is attached directly to the front fork and allows the rider to steer the front tire.  Your handlebars are mounted directly to the steering tube and when that broke they became detached from the bike.  Without the handlebars, Hincapie came crashing down off the bike.\n\nThe bike was specifically designed for George and therefore is likely isolated to just his bike and not the entire Trek line.  This has been known to happen in other bikes and is a defect that is not entirely unheard of.  The steering tube may have had a stress fracture in it either by being dropped or naturally cracked in the creation of the fork which caused an invisible fracture in the structure, which eventually snapped causing the fall.

Should Christians tickle unbelievers ears?

NO!!! As Christians, we are called to be a light to the world. We should correct people when we feel they are doing wrong. We should not be forced to tolerate unacceptable behavior. I hope someday we will all see this...\n\nIf you ask a question on this site, most people are looking for honest answers. Give it to them. Be honest. I am so sick of doing nothing. America needs a wake-up call....


Do you not want us to answer, then, if we believe in the Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit? Because that is my belief, just to answer your question before you added the details.


Are gas prices rising because winter is over and home heating gas consumption is down?

No, it's rising because the War in Iraq is getting worse every day!


Wars are needed as a natural part of human evolution. When you look at war from a long-range perspective, it becomes clear that, as destructive as wars are, their very destructiveness has served as the primary force for the evolution of the human race. By mercilessly elimnating those who were unable to survive in the theater of war, wars resulted in a constant upgrading of both the physiological and intellectual acuity of man.\n\nAlthough many bright people perish in wars, the preponderance of the casualties occur among people with the limited intellectual capacity to understand the mechanics of wars and who are thus unable to avoid becoming casualties (this takes into account the cowards who find a way to avoid the war).\n\nWho would seriosly dispute the fact that smart people have higher living standards than intellectually less endowed persons do? War elimnates the intellectually less fit and thus, in the end, raises the average intelligence and the living standards of society as a whole.\n\nThroughout the ages, evolution took advantage of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse, war, natural disasters, disease and famine.\n\nIf we succeed in eliminating armies and war, we are also eliminating war in its capacity as a powerful contributor to evolution by keeping the world population in check. We are now at 6 billion humans, scientific projections of growth predict 10 billion within 50 years...mostly in under developed countries. Humanity will reach the limits of available resources at 9-12 billion..this is not sustainable.\n\nWe can only speculate as to which path evolution will take in reducing the world from 10 to 3 billion. A battle for resources will favor those with higher levels of intelligence and rationality. Evolution never receds to irrationality, superstition and stupidity.

Whats the best way to learn to play gutar?

Go to your local music store and buy a begginers book.  It will teach you proper finger placement and different cords.  An electric guitar is easier to play than an acoustic because the neck is narrower and easier to put your hand around.  You can also take lessons, sometimes it's easier to learn by watching it done properly. Look in the classifieds or in the phonebook to find a teacher.  Just remember that playing the guitar is an art and is not learned overnight.  Just be patient and practice a lot!

i have been married 3 times this last onw im in going on 6 years all start going bad at three years?

Did it ever occur to you that it might not be the men but might be you?  Maybe you are expecting marriage to be something that it isn't so you give it three years and then give up.  If you don't want a third divorce under you belt, it might be time to see a marriage counselor as well as some psychological counseling to find out exactly what the issue is.  Maybe you can stop this cycle before you match Liz Taylor husband for husband.

Once you have the OU's defined you simply right click the OU and select properties.  Here you select the group policy tab and can create new policies here. The other option is to run MMC and install the group policy editor.  If you do that then the group policy tab in AD will warn you that it has been installed and you should edit all policies that way.\n\nAs for configuration of XP clients that is what the policies do when the computer is added to the OU.

Why is laughter a good medicine?(I love laughing)?

Laughter moves lymph fluid around your body simply by the convulsions you experience during the process of laughing; so it boosts immune system function and helps clear out old, dead waste products from organs and tissues. Remember that your lymph system doesn't have a separate pump; your body needs to move around to properly circulate lymph fluid so that your immune system can carry out its natural functions. Laughter is a great way to support that.\n\nSecondly, laughter increases oxygenation of your body at both the cellular and organ level. By laughing, you intake vast amounts of oxygen in huge gulps, and you repeat this process in a sort of temporary hyperventilation session. This is the natural result of laughter, and if you watch someone laugh, you will notice these biophysical effects.\n\nLaughing also boosts circulation, so at the same time that you're distributing oxygen around your body, you're boosting the circulation of your blood; you're exercising abdominal muscles; you're exercising the muscles of your face; and you're enhancing the flexibility of various joints throughout your body. So it's a bit of physical exercise and healthful body movement as well.\n\nThe harder you laugh, the greater this effect. If you can find a way to put yourself into a state of rolling, outrageous laughter, you're going to get a fantastic physical workout from it. In fact, the next day, you may even find your stomach muscles are sore. Have you ever laughed so hard that your stomach hurt and your facial muscles were exhausted? That's some serious exercise, and it's the kind of exercise in which we should all engage on a regular basis.\n\nIt's g8 4 u.


Who is incharge of American Television censorship?

Since an accurate response would be too lengthy I'll give you something short, though definitely not thorough.\n\nThe FCC's powers are appropriated by Congress who also appoints the FCC Chairman, who is currently Kevin J. Martin. When it comes to setting restrictions for broadcasting and for consumer electronics a 7 member panel, chosen by the Chairman, votes on rules proposed by FCC members, lawmakers/politicians and general members of the public. The Chairman has veto power so if the panel agrees to pass or repeal restrictions, the Chairman has the authority to overturn any rules. Congress is a higher power and can, though they have not yet, pass laws or regulations governed by the FCC. \n\nThe FCC doesn't typically punish those who break the rules, however, in a case where a noticable portion of the public makes complaints either directly to the FCC or to television and radio watchdogs the FCC will take action. Usually this action involves a fine and many networks have been fined repeatedly without having their broadcast license revoked. \n\nSomething that the FCC is tough on is 'pirate' radio or television stations. These are broadcasters who fail to receive a license to operate from the FCC. Rather than simply fining these individuals or companies, the FCC will also confiscate their broadcasting equipment and block them from applying for an FCC license for up to 5 years.\n\nThere has always been controversy surrounding the FCC, most notably pertaining to free speech. If you want to learn more, follow the links below.\n\nhttp://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,149692,00.html\nhttp://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Inspector_General/Reports/websecurity.doc\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,113285,00.asp\nhttp://www.fcc.gov/\n\nTo contact the FCC: http://www.fcc.gov/contacts.html

Using a half angle identity, help me to find the exact value of sin 105degrees?

When you need to use the HALF ANGLE formula, think of the given angle has HALF the ANGLE you need to use.  So:\n\nsin(105) = sin(210/2)\n\nThen use the formula using the angle 210.  And, since you know other ways to get the answer, you can check that you did it right!  (That's probably why you were given that angle.)

Should I get both an MBA and a Law degree?

Both are interesting if you could manage your time. \n\nFrom what you are going to study, you tend to work in business area.. so (business) law is important for owning or being in a business. \n\nHowever, it also depends on your affordability. If the law course costs too much and it does not emphasise much on business law, I think you can study it after you got your MBA. \n\nIn some MBA programme, there is a business law course for you to choose as a compulsory or elective. See what you have in your MBA programme first. \n\nAnd.. studying law, you need time to memories things. Make sure you have enough time to do both. Otherwise, do one at a time.

Benjamin Bloom created this taxonomy for categorizing level of abstraction of questions that commonly occur in educational settings.

is there any body know who is alessandro del piero ? he will have aprize?

Alessandro Del Piero a.k.a. "Pinturicchio" (born November 9, 1974 in Conegliano) is an Italian football player. He usually plays as a forward or between the midfield and the strikers. He is not the tallest of forwards, and is more of a creative forward rather than a "goal poacher". Del Piero is renowned for his deadly finishing, and the ease in which he dribbles past defenders. He is an expert in dead ball situations, and seems to have the ability to hit the target from almost anywhere on the pitch.\n\nDel Piero started his professional career in 1991 with Padova of Italian Serie B. In 1993, he transferred to Juventus, and has been there ever since. With the Turin club, he won the Serie A championship six times (1995, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2003, and 2005), the Champions League (1996), and the Toyota Cup (1996). His best season was in 1997-98, when he scored 21 goals in Serie A and finished top scorer in the UEFA Champions League with 10 goals, which included a peach of a freekick against Monaco in the semi finals. Del Piero struggled for form at the beginning of the 1998-99 season, whilst many doping allegations were wrongly aimed at him. In October he picked up a serious knee injury in the 2-2 draw with Udinese. This kept him out of action for the remainder of the season. Juventus struggled without him and limped home to a lowly 6th place in Serie A. Many people claim that Del Piero has never fully recovered from this injury, and therefore never quite fulfilled the potential he had shown at a very young age. His nickname is Pinturicchio, in reference to a joke by Gianni Agnelli when he belittled the emerging Del Piero to the master Roberto Baggio in a parallel between modest painter Pinturicchio from Perugia and the great Raphael.\n\nOne of Del Piero's greatest strengths as a footballer is his versatility, which allows him to play in a variety of attacking positions. While he started his club career playing as a full-fledged striker, he very quickly matured into a more influential role, occupying the pivotal playmaker's position just behind the strikers. It is in this zone that his prowess as a creator of goals came to the fore. His creative abilities and potential were best utilised after Marcello Lippi took over as Juventus coach in the late 1990s. Lippi's incisive coaching acumen and his love for playing the "trident" in attack led him to give Del Piero increased opportunities to play the free role in a position the Italians like to call the trequartista - a different kind of playmaker who plays just behind the strikers, yet not quite in midfield. Del Piero very quickly made this position his own, combining effectively with the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Filippo Inzaghi to form an ultra-creative Juventus strike force. Later on, his partnerships with Pavel Nedved in midfield and David Trezeguet upfront contributed enormously to Juve's continued success in Italy and Europe, as the club conquered two successive Scudettos (in 2002 and 2003) and finished runners-up to AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League (2003).

Did the "elastic clause" justify acts such as Hamilton's excise tax or the Louisiana Purchase?

I wouldn't look to the elastic clause for either of these.  The Louisiana Purchase would fall under article 2, second 2, presidential power to make treaties and the excise tax would fall under article 1, second 2, the power of congress to direct taxes.\n\nOn the other hand, I'm curious how homeland security can tape your phone without a warrant just because they suspect you of something.  I haven't found where that clause is yet.


Green card: can a green card application be completed in the US, if the person is married to a U.S citizen?

The reason is because the U.S. doesn't want undesirables in the country. Screening them outside the U.S. allows them to prevent terrorists, people with AIDS, TB, or other commuicable diseases, from entering.\n\nThe problem is, when they are already here they can disappear into the crowd and never be processed properly. \n\nExample: 12 million illegals that are here now and we haven't processed them.\n\nAs a Canadian living in the U.S. I had to go through this process myself. I believe is was the right thing, albeit a pain in the ass, because I was already here in the U.S. and had to travel back to Toronto.

why do new york streets have numbers instead of names?

Since there is so many streets it is easier to numbered then to think of actual names.

Does anyone know how much J.K. Rowling is worth currently?

ACTUALLY those other two answers were incorrect: \nJKR is actually worth 1 Billion accourding to Forbes: see article below!!\n----------\nJKR worth $1 billion \nForbes has published their annual list of the richest people in the world, and they have ranked JK Rowling at #746 with an estimated net worth of $1 billion!\n\nAuthor had a banner year last year. Last July, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth book in her widely successful Potter series, was a huge hit. Rowling sold 60 million books worldwide last year, bringing the tally to 310 million copies of Harry Potter books sold. In November, Warner Bros. released Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth Potter film and reversed a creeping Harry box-office slide. The movie pulled in $287 million in the U.S., the highest grossing film in the series after the debut film. A source in the Rowling camp says that last book in the series will be out in 2007. \nPosted by Ciaran on 03/10 | comments


Hello. I just purchased Stat Tracker and it's not working. I don't have a pop up blocker on. What do I do?

You know, problems like this is why websites that sell people things have a section called Customer Help, Contact Us or FAQs. I'd suggest you re-visit the site, contact them and demand they do something about it. After all, you are paying for a service, they get paid to serve and as they deal with this kind of thing daily, they should have the answers.

Where can I find info on the US ship Indianaplis?  I think sunk in WW 2.?  When and where?

The Sinking of USS Indianapolis\n\nThe USS Indianapolis (CA-35) was commissioned at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 15 November 1932. The ship served with honor from Pearl Harbor through the last campaign of World War II, sinking in action two weeks before the end of the war. On 30 July 1945, while sailing from Guam to Leyte, Indianapolis was torpedoed by Japanese submarine I-58. The ship capsized and sank in twelve minutes. Survivors were spotted by a patrol aircraft on 2 August. All air and surface units capable of rescue operations were dispatched to the scene at once, and the surrounding waters were thoroughly searched for survivors. Upon completion of the day and night search on 8 August, 316 men were rescued out of the crew of 1,199.\n\nFor a good account of this event, watch the movie Jaws.\nRichard Harris (Quint) tells the story GREAT.

why some poeple suicide especially suicide bombing?

suicide and suicide bombing are two different deaths with different intentions.\n\n\nSuicide is a means to an end dear.  A poor choice, a poor last resort.\n\nSuicide bombing is death with a so-called "holy mission" to achieve.  Suicide bombers normally focus on their mission and believe it's for a greater purpose.  Also most of them believe it brings them martyrdom, while forgetting it brings the families of the victims grief and pain.

How can you build stamina for running back and forth for hours while playing soccer?

You can start by jogging then you need to increase the speed at which you run each day! Push your self until you feel as though you are going to pass out and die! Then after that keep that up until it gets easy and then start all over again! That worked for me after i started playing indoor! Hope it helps!


If you love him don't leave him but you do need to find out why you are having these feelings.  I think alot of people go through stressful times and become uninterested in sex.  It is also possible you may be having some hormonal issues.  If the problem doesn't get fixed soon though he may start to have a wandering eye.  I hope everything works out for you.\n\nGood luck and God Bless!  :)

which county is the largest in england now yorkshire has been divided?


Which is better, Analog or Digital controller? with comparison and solid reasoning.?

Of course it depends upon the application in question. \n\nYou use a digital controller if you just want to be able to control something in an on off way.\nExamples\nThe numbers on a telephone - why would you ever want to only half press the number down?\nThe big red button that launches a missile - you can't "half" launch a missile.\n\nAnalogue control is used when you want gradation in the amount of controlling. So, the steering wheel of a car is an analogue controller because you're not going to have much control if you can only turn completely to the left or completely to the right.\n\nI'm guessing your after something more specific, which means you're gonna have to ask a more specific question!

if i own a stock and it pays a dividend when can i sell?

You can sell it whenever you want.\n\nConsider the ex-dividend date.\n\nIf you sell it after, you will be the one who will receive the dividend.\n\nIf you sell it before, the buyer will receive the dividend.\n\nMight sound important to consider the ex-divident date, but the market ajust to this date (buyer will pay higher price for a stock with dividend than without). So usually it doesn't make much difference.\nHope its helps.


The quick answer:  whatever fits your budget and feels best.\n\nEverybody's body is different, every manufacturer's suit is different. \n\nI would recommend this plan:\n\nDecide your budget (Prices range from entry level to oh, wow.)\nDecide your style of suit:\nDo you want full-length and fully sleeved (long john style) or sleeveless or a shorty?\nDecide the features that are most important to you.\nDon't forget to consider the lifespan of the suit as it relates to your "career" as a triathlete. A good entry level suit can get you pretty far.\n\nSo as not to be overwhelmed with choices, I picked three companies to look at: Orca (because of the hot guy in the ad, honestly), Blue Seventy (well-known) and Body Glove. Since I knew squat about any of them, it was as good a method of choosing as any. I also looked around on the internet for opinions about suits and these names came up quite often (very positively so, most of the time).\n\nSo I had my three companies.\nTHEN\nI set a budget and prioritized what I was looking for. \n\nSince I am short (5'0) and female (XX) I prioritized my needs like this:\n\nABSOLUTE PRIORITY:\nFits my budget with the most bang for the buck.\nI am an entry-level triathlete. Or almost athlete \nI need something that will work and last for the next several seasons becasue it will  take time for me to "outgrow" (if ever) the suit.\n\nMUST HAVE:\nfull (long-john style) suit, since I won't be doing a lot of warm-water races.\na women's specific fit\nwarantee or guarantee against defects, etc.\nDoesn't require complicated care or maintenance.\neasy exit, since I'm exciteable and would be a complete\nspaz coming out of the water and trying to get the darn\nthing off while heading for T1\n\nGOOD TO HAVE:\nextended warantee\npanels in shoulders to allow for better mobility, since I have some shoulder problems and i don't want to waste effort trying to "power" against the resistance of the suit, esp. in the shoulders\n\nBONUS IF I GET IT, OK IF I DON'T\nit would be nice if it had some purple (or pink) in it =)\n\nDON'T REALLY NEED IT\nExtra "speed" features, right now, i just want to finish.\nAny sort of other "Elite" features that drive up the price point.\n\nI then found a suit (or suits) from each company and made spreadsheets to compare features side-by-side.\n\nI am in the boonies, so I had to order via the internet. I found companies with generous return policies, ordered a couple of suits and tried them on, ultimately selecting one for myself.\n\nAll the suits made me look like a little black bratwurst sausage, but I found one I liked (and it made me look like a FAST bratwurst, too!)\n\nHowever, if you can, go to local shops, do so. You can find places to rent suits, too. This is a good way to try out different kinds. \n\nThe base for "size" on a wetsuit is weight and you go from there. The suit should fit snugly (but not strangle-ly) around your neck, the last thing you want is something interfering with your breathing! T should be tight around ankles and wrists. You want to make sure you have enough mobility in the shoulders, so as not to affect your swimming stroke.\n\nMost people (including myself) who don't have the best form in swimming, get a lot of help from the extra buoyancy provided by a suit. Because of this, "pool" triathlons and tri's where the water is generally over 79 degrees don't allow suits. Always check with your race organizer! \n\nHope this helps you pick!


I keep having this recurring nightmare.  Does anyone understand their meaning?

Well, what do horses mean to you?  \n\nIn psychoanalytic theory, a horse is symbolic of unconcious passions and how we deal with them.  Considering that the horses in your dream are starving, it may be that there is an area of your life that is neglected, or that you are repressing too much, or keeping your passions too much in check.  It may be your unconcious's way of telling you that you need to cut loose a little bit, indulge a little bit, follow your passion a little bit.\n\nOr it could just mean that you hate to see a starving horse.\n\nSince this is a recurrent nightmare, and it seems to be troubling you, you may want to take stock of your life and see if you feel you are neglecting yourself in some way.

Is it "couldn't care less" or "could care less?"?

The expression was originally "I couldn't care less."  It means "I care so little (i.e. not at all) that there is no way for me to care less."\n\nPeople started using "I could care less" by mistake, but eventually that became popular so now people say both.\n\nThere are lots of things in our language like that, where the "wrong" version eventually gets accepted.


Why do Americans complain about the illegal immigrants?

I don't hate illegals.  I am sure they are wonderful people.  What I dislike is that they are criminals, just like any other criminal in the U.S.  I know people who have gone the legal route to become a U.S. citizan.  Some have had to wait for fifteen years.  They appreicate their citizanship and understand what it is to be here.  They learned the language and have adjusted to being American.  How many other countries would allow this sort of crap?  I can imagine Italians moving illegally into Austria and making them speak Italian, or Mexicans into Canada or Russians into India or China.  Yeah right...\n\nAs far as them doing jobs that no one wants to do, that is total BS.  An American was doing that job before Gorge, Jesus or whoever came along.  Now, that American is unemployed because what they are qualified to do pays nothing anymore because the companies only want to hire illegals for $3.00 per hour or whatever.  So, that American gets on welfare because they can't make it, and I end up paying for them.    \n\nThere is no reason for us to let these people in here.  It is not good for our country.  We may be the Land of The Free, but we are not a Free For All.  If you want to be here, then learn our language so I don't have to learn yours just to become employed  (Your ILLEGAL), make a dammed effort to become an American and do it the legal way.  Otherwise get deported back to your country and stay there.  We don't need imported criminals.  We have enough of them already.\n\nI care about the other issues, too, but illegals being here is a cancer eating our society alive and it needs to be taken care of.  It is a serious issue that affects all of us right now.  It affects employment, welfare, taxes, culture, crime, among other things.  Why wouldn't it be a topic in the news?


when do you consider a dead man?When their heart stops to beat, or when the brain dies?

Death is the cessation of physical life.\n\nHistorically, attempts to define the exact moment of death have been problematic. Death was once defined as the cessation of heartbeat (cardiac arrest) and of breathing, but the development of CPR and prompt defibrillation posed a challenge, rendering the previous definition inadequate. This earlier definition of death is now called "clinical death", and even after it occurs, breathing and heartbeat may be restarted in some cases. Events which were causally linked to death in the past are now prevented from having an effect; even without a functioning heart and lungs, a person can be sustained with life-support devices. In addition to such extremes, there is a growing number of people who would quickly die if their organ transplants or cardiac pacemakers failed.\n\nToday, where a definition of the moment of death is required, doctors and coroners usually turn to "brain death" or "biological death": people are considered dead when the electrical activity in their brain ceases (cf. persistent vegetative state). It is presumed that a stoppage of electrical activity indicates the end of consciousness. However, suspension of consciousness must be permanent, and not transient, as occurs during sleep, and especially a coma. In the case of sleep, EEGs can easily tell the difference. Identifying the moment of death is important in cases of transplantation, as organs for transplant (the brain excluded) must be harvested as quickly as possible after the death of the body.\n\nMore: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death

How much income tax would you pay in the US on an income of $38k?

This all assumes that you lived in the US when you made the $38,000.\n\nIf the $38,000 was not self-employment income then you would use the tax tables located at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040.pdf (pages 65-76).\n\nThese tables would give a tax on $38,000 of $6,171 if filing as a single person or $4,974 if filing as a married person filing jointly.  \n\nHowever, I think you're talking about gross income of $38000.  \n\nThis amount would be limited by $5000 of a standard deduction if filing single or $10,000 if the filing status was married filing jointly.  \n\nDepending on your financial actions during the year, you may have more deductions than the $10,000 (see http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040sab.pdf for examples of deductions that could bring you over the standard deduction).  \n\nYour income would also be limited again by an exemption of $3,200 per person that lived with you in the U.S.  \n\nLet's say you were married with 2 children.  This means that your taxable income would be 38K - 10K standard deduction - (3200*4 exemptions) = $15,200.  The tax on $15,200 would be $1,554 for someone filing MFJ, and your withholding from income would most likely cover that (and more).  \n\nIf the total of your withholding and refundable credits (shown on Form 1040, lines 64-70) are greater than the total amount of tax, then you receive a refund from the government, which is what most people in the US think is there right as a taxpayer. :)  \n\nIn reality, a refund is an interest-free loan to the U.S. government.  \n\nIf you need any more information on the US tax code, you may contact me at CPA@RefundAccounting.com.  You could also set up an online meeting with me through that email, and we can go over any particular issues you may have.

Cable vs. Bishop. Who would win and why.?

cable would win and here's why:\n\nthe two are good hand to hand fighters, but i'd probably give that slight edge to cable. bishops main power is the ability the absorb energy ad multiply it over and over before firing it back at his opponent. I think this is one of the coolest powers. but the problem is that most of cable's abilities aren't really energy blast based. now cable could toss bishop around with telekinesis and even attck with physic blasts if necessary. \n\nWINNER: CABLE


What is a two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket?

I Love Lucy\nHe produced and starred in I Love Lucy, in which he played a fictitious version of himself, Cuban orchestra leader Ricky Ricardo, and starring his real-life wife Lucille Ball as Ricky's wife Lucy. In the original pilot, Ricky and Lucy were successful showbusiness figures (he a band leader, she an actress) whose glamorous careers interfered with their efforts to maintain a normal marriage. Market research indicated, however, that this scenario would not be popular, so Arnaz changed it to make Ricky a struggling young orchestra leader and Lucy a plain housewife with showbiz fantasies but no talent at all. Initially, the idea of having Ball and the distinctly Latino Arnaz portray a married couple encountered resistance, for he was told that his Cuban accent and Latin style would not be agreeable to American viewers; but Arnaz overcame these objections by auditioning the proposed television show before live audiences with great success.


Which player scored the most points in a single game in the 2006 NCAA Basketball tournament?


when is the fifa world cup coming back to the USA?

The earliest time the Cup will be back in the USA is 2018 based on FIFA's rotational system of selecting hosts.  Because the majority of nations are from Europe, the Cup is scheduled to be held on that continent every other four years, meaning the 2014 World Cup will be played somewhere in Europe.  It's also been a while since South America hosted the tournament, so it's likely that continent will get it in 2018, meaning the most likely time for the USA would be again in 2026.

Can anyone give me serious advice on how to deal with a jerk boss.?

You asked for serious advice so here goes, usually when individuals act the way your boss does, they are very insecure people. Now here goes the hard part, if you like your job well enough to stay there and hold your position, then you have to pray for him, I hope you like to pray because I have found that it is the only way to get ahead in life is by prayer, not getting upset or mad at the man, but just let it roll off, and know who you are in God's eyes, you are God's child and He loves you and He will promote you, these are all very trying learning experiences for all of us at one time or another but the ones who hang in there and do their job to the best of their ability, will prosper, how do I know this?o.k. It happened to me several times, and even though it was tuff to pray for someone I personally had no feelings for, I thought well , the Word teaches us to pray for our enemies, and right now this person was my enemy, so I prayed that they would be promoted clear out of my life,,LOL and guess what I was the one that got promoted to a great new position, and with great people that I had a blast with, I mean God is awesome, He knows exactly what you need, sorry to be so long winded, but just want you to know that things can change, and you are not the victim, he is. Keep on girl and you'll some out ahead!!!!!WhEEEEEE!

Is this a good way to backup an old hard drive while upgrading OS?

In other to save your date on D and also run the upgrade without loosing your 98 in case it is not sucessful, Create a folder on C and copy the i386 files from your CD. If that is successful, you can then run a new installation of the XP. (In the i386 folder, type winnt to begin installation).\n\nYou can then delete the win98 OS after the XP installation. 1 GB space for XP is OK, the most important should be that you have a preferably fas machine with about 256RAM. good luck\n\n** I have no idea about TrueImage, not heard it before will check.


Why are elements that gain or lose 1 electron the most active metals or nonmetals?

It is harder to remove an electron that has more than 1 electron in the shell because of the combined energy that the shell has. A single electron itself does not require a lot of energy to remove, however, when there is more than one, there is combined energy placed in the shell. It is still possible to do so, but is very hard.\n\nTom Walvin\nChemist
