The Catholic Church. \nThe Monastic Order called "Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon" popularly known as the "Knights Templar"\nThe Order was founded in 1119 and they were exempt from all authority except that of the Pope\nThey received massive donations of money, land, and noble-born sons from families across Europe.\nThough the primary mission of the Order was a military one, only a small percentage of its members were actually at the front lines, while many others were involved in developing a financial infrastructure to support the warrior branch. The Order also innovated ways of generating letters of credit for pilgrims who were journeying to the Holy Land, which involved pilgrims depositing their valuables with the Order before setting off on the journey. This may have been the first form of checking put into use. From this mixture of donations and shrewd business dealing, during the 12th and 13th centuries the Order acquired large tracts of land both in Europe and the Middle East, built churches and castles, bought farms and vineyards, was involved in manufacturing and import/export, had its own fleet of ships, and for a time even owned the entire island of Cyprus.


What is your biggest worry, and how are you dealing with it?

Wow this is a hard question for me as I have MS and deal with alot of issues daily. I would have to say the thing that scares me the most is the thought that my mind will not work the way I know it can and has, there are days when I can not remember my age and that is pretty scary, may sound simple, but it is far from simple. To know you know something but are unable to express it to someone is very frustrating. How I deal with it, well sites like this help, forces my brain to function, I do crosswords, I read as much as possible when I can.


difference between a transsexual and a transgendered?

There is a very fine line between both terms:\n\nBoth, overall, indicate someone who believes they are a different sex than they were born into.\n\nClassically though, transgendered meant someone who feels they're in the wrong body but just acts the opposite sex or desires to be the opposite sex. Transsexual referred to someone who surgically or chemically undergoes changes to be more like the opposite sex.\n\nOr alternatively, someone who feels they fall between sexes but don't feel discretly male or female.\n\nAs simplistic as the above is, the issue is compondounded further because the terms are used interchangably. Some refer to both classes as transgendered, feeling the need to remove the "sex" reference in the name, but there are transgendered people that don't feel they fit the category of transsexual, ie, they do not wish to change sexes.\n\nOn the flipside, some transsexuals reject the transgendered term all-together.\n\nWikipedia has an excellent article when it comes to trying to differentiate between transgendered and transsexualism, but in the end, it means slightly different things to different people.

How many points can you get in a day? Is their a limit?

There isn't really a limit on how much points you can make - you can say answer about 40-50 questions in a day (that's about the limit- but becomes unlimited after Level 5).\n\nThere is also a limit on how many questions you can rate and vote on.\n\nBut on points - The max would be the total questions you answered (the limit say is 50) if all 50 get chosen as the best answer - 50*10=500, if all 50 questions get rated say 50 times (the limit), then 50*50=2500. So that works to 3000pts maximum...which is well nigh possible if you are Albert Einstein!\n\nSo the points limit is really really high, and often people do make 300points if the answer well on say 20 questions.\n\nSo the key is to answer well.

Of course not...Islam has more and more mistakes, but Muslis scholars twist and add and add. thne they claim other religions faked and fubricated and they are the last best religion.....look all the rules, see how it is plain and makes no sense.\n\nPrayer, very repeated one, that makes human far from spiritual and praying to God....why God would want you to say same thing on and on and on just like a boring song said everyday same and same.\n\nlook cruel punishment, discriminations against women and all that stuff that makes you sting..  it's hard religion, it's absolutely doesn't suit other places.\n\nWell, you asked "why you don't like Islam" and then you added, you are ordinary people....\n\nI don't like Islam...but definitely I love Muslims.  cuz if I don't like Islam, that doesn't mean I hate Muslims!!! \n\nIslam is wrong simply, plaigarize many from bible, rediculate other religions, encourage hatred, violence and impose rules over the head and blood of others. put its rules, holiness more important than bloodshed.  it destruct our countries, divided people.... Islam full of mistakes and cruel punishments.  do you agree of whipping, cutting and these inhuman actions.  unfair, and discirminations against women.  \n\n\nThis is my opinion on Islam, please Muslims I don't mean to offend you

what is raster scanning in simple terms?

Hi,\nLet me explain in terms of the compuet monitor itself. If you look closely, u'll find that the monitor is actually a collection of a very very large no.of dots. Each dot illuminates to a certain degree of brightness and depending on how bright a group of dots put togetheris, the brighter or darker would be that section of the screen. Now coming to "Raster", what happens is that there is a beam coming from behind your screen surface that is responsible to make your screen light up. This beam is pointed first at the top left corner of ur screen, then it travels to the right.. til the time it reaches the right most dot on the first row, then it comes down to the next row of dots, again at the left most dot... and goes on. Finally when it reaches the right most dot on the last row of your screen, it travels back to the top-left and continues ahead. This whole process takes place very fast.. and due to a phenomenon called 'Persistence of vision', the image on the screen appears to move smoothly rather than in dots :)\n\nThis method of scanning is called 'Raster'...  in which no matter whether the object on the screen is to be displayed moving to the left or right, top or down, the scanning always happens in a horizontal (in this case left to right) fashion.


how do i unload ringtones to my phone from the internet?

I understand that, you want to download ringtones from Internet.\n\n>> You need to send SMS to the particular service provider from where you want to download ringtone.


I do. Guys my age (19) and younger are usually idiots when it comes to relationships. Am I going to go for a guy over 35? Unless you're talking Liam Neeson or Sean Connery, not too likely. But I'm more likely to go for them than your standard 18-year-old college freshman who thinks it's hillarious to talk about getting so drunk he puked on his new shoes at last night's frat party.


What are some activities i can do to spy on certain specific people without violating anyones comple privacy?

When they're in the house across the street, sneek out, get right up under the window, jump up and say "BOO!" really loud.\n\nThen video tape them spying on you when ever you can (and as much as humanly possible).  Make sure you have as much evidence of them spying on you as possible\n\nI.E. video, audio, witnesses....\n\nThen take it to the police.\n\nAlso, what every one else said, see if you can't get a PI.\n\n\nAnd lastly, try not to let them know that you are filming or doing anything to record their actions, or else (if they're smart) they'll stop, and WHOOSH, there goes your case.\n\nAnd the last lastly, go buy a pistol, or shot gun, and keep it ready at all times (please approprietly lock it up), ready, as in, locked in a case near where you rest or sit alot, and with a magazine, loaded and ready to go right there in the case with it.  If your good, "boom" some one busted down your front door or window, ten seconds later, you have a nice little glock 40. sitting there in your hand, ready to empty a magazine into their sorry a$$es.\n\nAnd the absolute last lastly, if your super paranoid, get a concealed weapons permit, and keep a gun on you at all times...


Who knows anything about seabiscuit, the racing horse who was very famous in the thirties?

Seabiscuit (May 23, 1933—May 17, 1947) was a champion thoroughbred race horse in the United States. From an inauspicious start, Seabiscuit became an unlikely champion, and during the Great Depression became a symbol of hope to many Americans. At the peak of his fame in 1938, it was suggested that he had generated more newsprint in the U.S. than either Adolf Hitler or Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 2001, Seabiscuit became the subject of a book (Seabiscuit: An American Legend) and in 2003 a Universal Studios film (Seabiscuit).

What to do if you feel that your girlfriend is not affectionate enough?

I wonder why your gf feels that affection should wait until after marriage. Innocent touching like hand holding, shoulder massages and playing footsie are normal parts of a dating relationship.  if she really feels that it is part of her personality, don't expect it to change.  You will either have to compromise with affection she feels is acceptable (and enough of it to satisfy you) or to move on.  Something as basic as affection in a relationship should have a common ground, otherwise, someone will end up angry, disappointed or rejected.


No, but the lack of a similar increase in psychological growth in mankind has caused our technological development to outstrip our maturity as a species.  The sudden increase in information and the resulting challenges to everyone's world views due to access to the web and instant information should be sufficient to give us a chance to catch up a bit.  Then the technology will be much easier to handle and use wisely.

I read and article on  EPH200 weight loss pill.  Is there a website?

I was just on the website at www.tomleehealth.com/eph200 reading over the ingredients.  If you go to the GNC store website (www.gnc.com, I believe), you can actually look up alot of the ingredients that are in EPH200 to see how they work.  One or 2 of them have a caffeine-like effect to increase metabolism, remove excess fluid from the body.  Others improve the function of insulin so that you're burning more sugars.  If you go to the EPH200 website there is a before & after picture of a girl (I would definitely say the same girl), but I'm trying to figure out if she was really that heavy or if they stuffed her somehow.  Her face doesn't look any heavier on the before picture than now.  What do you think, legit?

how do saturated fats differ from non-saturated fats?

Saturated fat is fat that consists of triglycerides containing only saturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain (hence, they are fully saturated with hydrogen atoms).\n\nAn unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is one or more double bond in the fatty acid chain. Fat molecules are monounsaturated if it contains one double bond, and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond. Double bonds, which are sometimes referred to as unsaturated bonds, may be cis or trans.


what exemplifies effective customer service?

I used to train people in customer service jobs, the one thing I always wanted them to remember was to treat every customer like they are the most important customer ever. You treat guests in your home with respect and serve them because they are important to you, you should treat guests in your business the same. Remember they are the most important customer you have, even if they don't spend as much as others, or they may be in a bad mood, they are who you have right now, and they are who you are here to serve.

WHY IS THE SUNSET RED?\nAs the sun begins to set, the light must travel farther through the atmosphere before it gets to you. More of the light is reflected and scattered. As less reaches you directly, the sun appears less bright. The color of the sun itself appears to change, first to orange and then to red. This is because even more of the short wavelength blues and greens are now scattered. Only the longer wavelengths are left in the direct beam that reaches your eyes.

I'll never stop caring, whether it's in this lifetime or any others. I just don't let it drain my energy the way I used to do.

When someone gets a bachelor's degree and adds a few years to it of university-based training, then goes out into corporate America to get a job, this person can easily bring in anywhere from 35,000 to 45,000 starting salary. Teachers, however, start anywhere from 22,000 to 30,000, depending on the district they are in. Some lucky ones in a critical area (such as math, ESL, and Special Education) can get more, but generally speaking, teachers are paid far less than other people with comparable degrees and credentials.

I think the first thing you should do is to introduce yourself and start a conversation with her.  Try to get a feel for who she is, what she likes, her type of personality.  You'll never know any of the basics unless you even talk to the girl.  Once you know the basics, then that will help you make a decision to ask her out.


Can I  buy lingerie for my wife for valentine's day?

You could give her a gift card a day or two before (to Victoria's Secret for example) and have her go pick something out.  $50-$70 (maybe $100 if you really want to splurge) should be plenty.  Give it to her with a card and in the card instruct her to buy something sexy to wear on V-day!  A lot of lingerie looks better on the models (and on the hanger) than it will on a real woman.  I bought lingerie for myself for Valentine's day, and I must have tried on 10 things and the one I bought is the only one that really looked good.  If you do this, it is a present for you both - you get the surprise of seeing what she picks out, and she gets the fun of going and buying herself something that makes her feel sexy.

Why do I have both administrator's & owner's documents and settings in XP? Can I merge them and delete one?

I'm going to take a guess that either you are running XP Home with the defaults, or you are running XP Pro and turned on the logon using menu options.\n\nThe administrator id is set up by default during XP installation, and does not appear as a user on the menu.  However, don't delete it.\n\nIn the event you screw up your id (assuming it's "owner") and it won't log on, you can boot into Safe mode and sign on as administrator (the password is normally blank unless you either changed it or set it during installation) and add a new userid.

There are lots of John Howards, but the most famous one right now is the Prime Minister of Australia.  "John Winston Howard (born 26 July 1939) is an Australian politician and the country's 25th Prime Minister. He became Prime Minister after the election of 2 March 1996, and his government was re-elected in 1998, 2001 and 2004; this makes him the most electorally successful Prime Minister since Sir Robert Menzies. After his victory in 2004, his government gained control of both houses of the Parliament."

how does the heart work to produce a beat?

The heart cells are called myocytes that can contract.  Proteins inside the myocyte, actin and myosin, make this contraction possible.  Calcium ions are released very quickly (from the sarcoplasmic reticulum) and trigger the contraction. Then the heart relaxes and gets ready for the next beat.  The contraction is controlled from the top of the heart (the atria) and spreads down to the botton (the ventricles), like a water ripple through a pond but in this case it is through all the cells of the heart.  The coordinated contraction then results in blood being pumped into the lungs and forward through the body.\n\nIf you need a more detalied description let me know.  This is the basic idea though.  The billions of cells of the heart are coordinated to result in proper heart beats.

The word love is used in many way, some of which are confusing:\n1 -- Being in Love is a phrase used to denote a romantic attachment.  This is similar to a crush, only more so.  There is usually a sexual interest.\n2 -- Loving someone is usually a mutual emotional attachment.  It is both an emotion and a bonding force.  The bond is strengthened by communication, trust, mutual interests and intimate physical contact.\n3 -- True Love is a state of total acceptance (unconditional).  This very rare, yet often sought.  It comes from out of nowhere.  It does not fade with time.  It is a gift from Divinity.\n\nPS  If someone says that they love you but are not in love with you, then they are communicating poorly.  What they usually mean is that they love you like they would a sibling or friend, with no sexual interest.


I really really love this guy and I know that he knows but he says that he wants me to hate him????

I would ask him why he wants you to hate him. If he changes the subject again tell him not to because you want to know why. If he doesn't tell you, he probably doesn't like you anymore or something is very wrong. I'm just wondering if he used to live here and moved to london because ou said that you have been friends forever. If he really is your friend then he will tell you whats wrong because you guys tell each other everything. I think that you should ask him one more time and tell him not to change the subject and tell you why he wants you to hate him. I've had this done to me before. He wouldn't tell me either and he always changed the subject when I asked about it. We are still friends because I finally got it out of him. So, all that I can say is to keep on keepin on and if he deosn't tell you then do what you think is best!

i was just wondering if a female takes a female to prom, their both straight, if that would be weird.?

No, definitely not. What would be weird is if you make it weird. If you're out to have a good time, then you will have a good time. As far as everyone else goes, if they place judgement, it's their own issue.

How do you delete the past entries from your yahoo search engine?

if you are referring to the text box you fill out to do the search, then here's an answer.\n\nIn Internet Explorer, you should go to: Tools, then Internet Options. Choose the tab called Content. Then Click the button that says Auto Complete. Make sure there is a check mark in the forms box and click the button to clear the forms.\n\nNote, doing this will clear all information so any field that you may have only had to type a few characters of a username or your name for a form will be reset so nothing will show up. They will eventually when you start filling out more forms again. Hope this helps!

Can someoned please explain this math riddle?

Quoting by Eric V:\n"From Sum's first statement we know that x+y is a sum none of whose possible components are both prime (x+y is not even)"\n\nin fact, from Sum's first statement, the significant deduction is that x+y is not even. And you deduce it just because if it were even, there would be a possibility that the two numbers be both odd, and among this there would be the possibility that x+y were both prime: so if x+y were even, Sum would not be able to be sure that Prod could not know the numbers.\n\nPay attention:\nYou're not saying that x+y even ---> x and y not prime.\nYou're saying that x and y both prime ---> x+y even\n\n(Anyway an additional and not told assumption is that x and y are > 2)


I'vent been answering any questions for a while... but I decided to answer your question coz I found it interesting.\n\nSelf esteem can be lost in two ways: professionally and socially.\n\nProfessionally, one loses their self esteem because of a failure that leads to embarrassment among coworkers, or because of lack of appreciation. This always happens when someone start their practical career or move to a new work place. You can overcome this problem by paying much attention to all the tiniest details in your new work place. You have to produce a perfect output because you will be in what they call the probation period. Usually mistakes are not acceptable during this period. However, if it happened and you put yourself in a situation where you was emabarrassed or lost self esteem, you have to recover as fast as possible not to look like a crybaby in other people's eyes.\nSocially, self esteem is something that you create. I mean that in normal cases people will treat you within the space yoiu offer them. Well, did you see the movie "the family stone"? That lady put herself in those dramatic situations and of course she must have lost her self confidence. I mean that all of us, all normal people, know what is right and what is wrong. Just do the right thing and believe me you will always retain yourself esteem.\nFinally, there is something that you have to remember: every person has got something that he is perfect at, and that no else can do it as perfect as he does it. Try to discover what you are really perfect at and do your best to invest in it. And remember, nobody is perfcet. All people make mistakes, even those who make advices - including me now - have got large proplems that they need advice about too. What I want to say is that every one is the best doctor for himself. Everyone knows himself more than anybody else does. You are your best doctor and best advisor. \n\nI hope I could help

perception of consumer on pirated software?

The consumer probably thinks nothing about software that is stolen, just as they think little about music that is stolen as well.\n\nAt some stage of the game, someone, somewhere, did the work in order to make that software.  One or more people, paid a salary, might have ended up working several late nights, not being able to spend time with their wife and their children, in order to make a deadline so that the software could be published on time.\n\nThe publishers, however, were the ones who made the most profit from the software after it sold.  Stealing software from the publishers doesn't given them money, so they have less to pay the people that write it.  Having less money to pay the people that write it means layoffs.


where i can participate motorcycle racing?

The best way to get into motorcycle racing is to do a trackday. You will get a feel for how hard you can push without traffic being in way. It will also help you decide if it is for you. I can't recommend where to do a track day in your area, but a simple web search will pop up many choices. Added benefit is that some trackday schools can help you get your racing license.

I have had the same three best friends since I was four and now I am 26. They are all very awesome but we have gone through the all the stuff you can imagine would mess up a friendship. Dating the same people (one even married an ex of mine), working together, living together, not paying back money, and having other friends, all kinds of stuff. But the good stuff way out ways the bad and if they are true friends you get through it and get over it. My friends are always there for me and I would be lost with out them.

What the best way to lose 12 pounds ina week with out exersizing machine,drugs or drinks?

The best way is not to. But there are many things you can do to make it seem like you have lost weight. \nRemember, muscle weighs more than fat, so its not weight you want to look to lose but fat and inches to lose and muscle to gain.\nGet at least 75-80 grams of protein per day. The main reason people crave sugar is because they have a lack of protein to work off of. Your breakfast should be 60% protein, 40% fiber (as a meal, not as the whole day). That doesnt necessarily mean shakes. I drink chocolate milk for breakfast, a whole quart, and then eat a power bar or luna bar for the fiber. (remember that if you have no fiber, you get montezuma's curse.)\nThe worst thing you could do for yourself is not eat. You lose less weight not eating than eating. Not eating will slow your metabolism and you burn less calories, no matter how hard you work yourself.\nGet enough dairy in the day. It has been shown that 3-5 servings of dairy in your daily diet help you lose weight.\n\nYou can get exercise without machinery. If youre young and like to socialize, or have a PS2 or GC, there is a great game called Dance Dance Revolution, which is a great cardio workout with fun music and lots of people do it, all over the world. you can get a game pad to do it at home too, (to get better to show off to people in tourneys if you like!). \n\nMake sure you have all of your vitamins, whether in the food you eat or in a suplemental vitamin. no drugs, just vitamins.\nGreen tea has a natural substance in it called EGCG which helps boost metabolism. \nAnd...Spend at least an hour a week in teh sun. Not all at once, just over time. you can get more vitamin D from 15 minutes in the sun than from drinking an entire gallon of fortified milk!


What is the best way to get past medical records from a surgery done in 1988?

I'd contact the hospital and ask to see your medical record from the period. I'd also try and find out what your rights are if you are denied access. Under most FOI rules, you are allowed access to your records held by most Government Departments. If you are in the US, you own the right to your records.


There is no state animal for iowa.  However the first answerer is wrong; some states DO have animals, like New York, whose animal is the beaver.  I'm from NY and thought that we named the beaver as our state animal in my lifetime.  After doing some research I see that I was right!


so my ex wants me back but she is not willing to work out our problems. but i still love her what should i do?

If you don't work things about before you re-marry, then you are condemning yourself to the same old problems as before.   I, too, advise counseling before you become involved in marriage with her again.\n\nBest of everything!

can any one help me to  go to new orleans so i can work? i have no money?

this answer is to your other question.. the one about being home invaded. \ni was hom invaded about  a year and a half ago, July 17, 2004 to be exact. i will never forget that date. it was a horrible experience, i was 13 years old and 4 men wnet inside my aunts house with big guns, they stayed ther for about two hours, searching the entire house for jewels, money, etc. when they were leaving they tied us up so that we couldnt see in what car they left. \nit was a horrible experience but we delt with it by talking between us, about how we felt, we said what we wre scared about, and got new security for the house, we bought new locks, and we prayed a lot. i went to therapy, to a psycologist who helped me with my fears and my trouble sleeping. i know what a horrible experience it can be and hope ypou lots of luck.


Do u have any idea about US visa if we apply it from CANADA ( Toronto) ?

i am planing to apply for one my self , while doing it isnt as hard to do as you may thing my best peace of advice it to get an immagration laywer to fill it out because they will help you not to make a mistake that may cause a very long wait ( i have herd of some one waiting 4 years to clear up a mistake on theres ) if you go to the home land security site for the US u will find immagration is part of that now and you can learn what forms and fees you will have to give them , you will also need to be checked out by a doctor that is aproved by the immagration for shots and tests , you may be able to bring your file from your doctor with ya and clear up a lot of things , but try to make sure that you have done every thing on the medical list before you go to see the doctor if the doctor is state side because of the cost of the health care there , on the immagration web site you will find a list of low cost lawyers there that may help you for a low cost , here is the site http://uscis.gov/graphics/index.htm look at all the diffrent types of visas and make sure that you apply for the right one , and what ever you do dont try to skip the visa if they find you gilty of it you could be charged to 5 years in jail and up to $250000 as i was told by the border gards for the US

does any one believe that scientists are to blame for lack of answers to some quizes? they dont give room 4 im

Wow, I am totally at a loss to understand what you are asking. \n\nGlobal warming is not due to carbon dioxide? \n\nYou can easily calculate how much warmer the earth is because of the presence of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in its atmosphere, compared to a black body at 1 AU from the sun (about 33 degrees C). Without global warming, mainly due to carbon dioxide and water vapor in the air, the earth would be MUCH colder. \n\nAnd you are correct that carbon dioxide is not the only greenhouse gas. There are many more. Such as water vapor and CFCs and HFCs and nitrous oxide and methane and so on. But CO2 does contribute, a lot. \n\nWe can't see light in a vacuum? Well I guess if I passed light through a vacuum I would not see it until it bounced off something. But if I was in the vacuum and the light went into my eye, then I would see it. I just don't understand your statement. \n\nAnd I have no idea what those two statements have to do with the first question about scientists and quizzes.


What is the best way to achieve permanent weight loss in excessive amounts?

if you work out and build muscle you will burn fat. building muscle helps with your metabolism which will help with burning fat :) and this theory has been proven time and time again. good luck\n\nThe human body is a funny thing. It's VERY ADAPTABLE for survival. So when you give it less food, the result is a slow metabolism for survival purpose. That's why it is important to take a break (but stay in control of your food intake) from your diet and focus on eating healthy, balance meals with exercise. This will prevent your metabolism from getting too slow.\n\nHundreds and thousands of years ago, when eating was a matter of survival, the body would protect itself by slowing down the rate it burned calories (lower metabolism) to maintain weight. In modern society, we have the opposite problem of too much food, temptation and consequent weight gain.\n\nOur body is designed for survival and less food is a threat to it's survival. You must control a slow increase or decrease of food to successfully lose weight and keep it off. If you stop eating or skip meals, your metabolism will come to a SCREECHING HALT. \n\nIf you maintain a control and balance diet, you will lose weight but your body's metabolism will finally adapt and slow down. That's why we need to take a break from dieting. If you give up and SUDDENLY start eating \nback to your pre diet intake, you may quickly gain weight because of a low metabolism.\n\nthis is why i recommend smaller more frequent meals.\nIncrease Your Metabolism Through Movement/ exercise/ walking at least 30 minutes helps boost it also.\nto answer you question truthfully, noone can give you an accurate # because all bodies are different. \nBUT if you eat more frequently so your body doesnt go ito survival mode and excercise then you are on the right track and if you can excercise in the morning that increases your metabolism for a while. the more you raise you heartrate the more of a boost your metabolism gets


RELEGION .do you think that people know the relegion they believe in .Can a simple person get it ?

Religion...If you look at them all...god based in someway,sprinkled heavily with man's do's and don't's\nAfter years of searching,Church going,even serving in Africa on missions...I found that religion in it's self is poison,and even more deadly to those who have never heard about The Christ Jesus.\nReally.......The Holy Bible is the only guide to knowing the truth, After all it's the book they (Christians)say they are fallowing.\nMyself...I claim no religion...When I am asked what religion are you? I say,I'm a fallower Of The Christ Jesus.\nJust keeping it simple...After all...who did Jesus hang out with while here on earth...The simple.

What is 1 Bar of Atmosphere in terms of water pressure?

1 bar =  1x10^5 Pa and 1 atm = 101325 Pa\ntherefore 1 bar = 0.987 atm\n\n_______\nOK, got it.  Just for future reference, you can clarify a question using the "add details" button in the stick note in the top right rather than posting it as the answer to a different question :)\n\nWith a signficant increase in height, water pressure will change signficantly.  Basically, that extra 33-foot column of water weighs quite a bit and is pushing down on things under it.\n\nThe density of water is 1 g/cm^3 = 0.001 kg/cm^3.  33 feet = approx. 1,000 cm.  A 1,000 cm high column of water with one cm^2 cross-secional area would weigh about 1kg, adding 1kg/cm^2.  1kg/cm^2 = 1.097 bar.  So being three stories up would add just about 1 bar of water pressure.\n\nI'm not sure how these water tank assemblies work, but it seems to me that if you put the tank three stories up and didn't pressurize it you would have about 1 bar of water pressure at the bottom.  If you pressurized the tank so you had 1 bar of water pressure at the top, you'd have 2 bars down where your dishwasher is.


Is there any computer software that can help you design a comic book hero?

Poser 6 is a good program, but is kind of expensive. A similar program is Daz|Studio, available at www.daz3d.com. It does nearly the same thing as Poser, but is completely free. However, both programs need 3d models that you can either purchase through various sites, or you can find some freebies floating around.

Does any other state in the USA celebrates MARDI GRAS  other than Lousiana?

Mardi Gras\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n(Redirected from Mardi gras)\nJump to: navigation, search\nFor Mardi Gras in New Orleans, see New Orleans Mardi Gras. For other carnival season celebrations see the article on Carnival. For the 1972 album, see Mardi Gras (album). For the British extortionist known as the "Mardi Gra bomber" see Edgar Pearce. \nMardi Gras (French for "Fat Tuesday") is the day before Ash Wednesday, and is also called "Shrove Tuesday" or "Pancake Day". It is the final day of Carnival (English:IPA: /kaɹnɨvəl/ and Romance languages:IPA: /karnival/). It is a celebration that is held just before the beginning of the Christian liturgical season of Lent. The feast should not be confused with the Polish Fat Thursday.\n\n\n\n\nContents [hide]\n1 Dates \n2 Locations \n2.1 United States \n2.1.1 Louisiana \n2.1.1.1 New Orleans \n2.1.1.2 Lafayette \n2.1.1.3 Elsewhere in Louisiana \n2.1.2 Saint Louis \n2.1.3 Mobile \n2.1.4 Pensacola \n2.1.5 Galveston \n2.1.6 Port Arthur \n2.1.7 San Diego \n2.1.8 San Luis Obispo \n2.2 Newfoundland \n2.3 Brazil \n2.4 Caribbean \n2.5 Mexico \n2.6 Belgium \n2.7 Sydney \n3 External links \n \n\n\n[edit]\nDates\nThe date can vary from February 3 to March 9 in non-leap years or February 4 to March 9 in leap years. Like Lent, the date is dependent on that of Easter.\n\nMardi Gras falls on the following dates in the following years:\n\n2006 - February 28 \n2007 - February 20 \n2008 - February 5 \n2009 - February 24 \n2010 - February 16 \n2011 - March 8 \n2012 - February 21 \n2013 - February 12 \n2014 - March 4 \n[edit]\nLocations\n \nFloat-making in New OrleansPerhaps the cities most famous for their Mardi Gras celebrations include Rio de Janeiro, Venice, New Orleans, and Cologne. Many other places have important Mardi Gras celebrations as well. The carnival is an important celebration in most of Europe, and in many parts of Latin America and the Caribbean.\n\n[edit]\nUnited States\nWhile not observed nationally throughout the United States, a number of cities and regions in the country have notable celebrations.\n\nMardi Gras arrived in North America with the LeMoyne brothers, Iberville and Bienville, in the late 17th century, when King Louis XIV sent the pair to defend France's claim on the territory of Louisiana.\n\nThe explorers eventually found the mouth of the Mississippi River on March 3, 1699, Mardi Gras of that year. They made camp a few miles upriver, just south of New Orleans, named the spot Point du Mardi Gras and partook in a spontaneous party. This is often referred to as North America's first Mardi Gras.\n\nCarnival celebrations became an annual event highlighted by lavish balls and masked spectacles. Some were small, private parties with select guest lists, while others were raucous, public affairs.\n\nRecently Mardi Gras has taken root in several major cities in the USA as the event contributes to help local economies bring revenues.\n\n[edit]\nLouisiana\n[edit]\nNew Orleans\nMain article: New Orleans Mardi Gras\n\n \nCostumed musicians, French Quarter, New OrleansNew Orleans Mardi Gras is particularly well-known, often called "the greatest free show on earth". The celebrations draw many tourists to the city in addition to the celebrating locals for the parties and parades.\n\nMardi Gras came to New Orleans with the earliest French settlers. New Orleans developed new traditions, including Krewes such as the Krewe du Vieux, the Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club, and the famous Rex parade, in addition to Mardi Gras Indians and king cake parties.\n\nThere are as many as 60 Krewes that have parades in the greater New Orleans area. Officially, the Mardi Gras season, more properly called Carnival, starts at the end of the twelfth day of Christmas. Most parades, balls and other festivities occur on weeknights and weekends in the 2-week period before Mardi Gras Day. Though each parade is unique, there are certain commo

Yes, I have know of Muhammad since my early teens.\n\nMuhammad (c. 570–632) (Arabic: محمد) (listen (help•info)), also transliterated Mohammad, Mohammed, Muhammed, and sometimes Mahomet (following the Turkish), is believed by Muslims to be God's final prophet sent to guide all of mankind with the message of Islam. He is referred to as "The Prophet" (Arabic: النبي) within the faith. Non-Muslims generally consider him to be the founder of Islam.\nAccording to traditional Muslim biographers, he was born c. 570 in Mecca (Makkah) and died on June 8, 632 in Medina (Madinah). Both Mecca and Medina are cities in the Hejaz region of present day Saudi Arabia. The name Muhammad means "the praised one" in Arabic.\nBorn Muhammad ibn Abdullah, he is said to have initially been a merchant who traveled widely.\nMuhammad often retreated to the mountains outside Mecca, for prayer and contemplation. Muslims believe that in 610, at about the age of forty, while praying in one of these mountain caves called Hira, he was visited by the Angel Gabriel who commanded him to memorize and recite the verses sent by God. These verses were later collected as part of the Qur'an. Gabriel told him that God (Allah in Arabic) had chosen him as the last prophet to mankind. He eventually expanded his mission as a prophet, publicly preaching a strict monotheism and warning against a Day of Judgement where all humans shall be held responsible for their deeds. He did not completely reject Judaism and Christianity, two other monotheistic faiths known to the Arabs; rather he said that he had been sent by God in order to complete and perfect their teachings. Many in Mecca resented his preaching and persecuted him and his followers. Muslims believe that this was in part due to his followers' holding Muhammad's authority above that of their leaders. Eventually, persecution followed and in 622, he was forced to flee from Mecca (the Hijra) and settled in Yathrib (now known as Medina) with his followers, where he was the leader of the first avowedly Muslim community. War between factions in Mecca and Medina followed, in which Muhammad and his followers were eventually victorious. The military organization that was created by this struggle was then set to conquering the other tribes of Arabia. By the time of Muhammad's death, he had unified Arabia, spread Islam throughout the Arabian Peninsula, and launched expeditions to the north, towards Syria and Palestine.\nUnder Muhammad's immediate successors, the Islamic empire expanded into Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia, Persia, Egypt, North Africa, and Iberia. Later conquests, commercial contact between Muslims and non-Muslims, and missionary activity spread Islam over much of the globe.\nSources\nThe main sources for biographies of Muhammad are found in Islamic documments such as the Qur'an, the Sira biographies, and the Hadith collections. While the Qur'an is not a biography of Muhammad, it does provide information about his life. The earliest surviving biographies are the Life of the Apostle of God, by Ibn Ishaq (d. 768), edited by Ibn Hisham (d. 833); and al-Waqidi's (d. 822) biography of Muhammad. Ibn Ishaq wrote his biography some 120 to 130 years after Muhammad's death. The third source, the hadith collections, like the Qur'an, are not a biography per se. In both the Sunni and Shia belief, they are the accounts of the verbal and physical traditions of Muhammad.\nSome skeptical scholars (Wansbrough, Cook, Crone, and others) have raised doubts about the reliability of these sources, especially the hadith collections. They argue that by the time the oral traditions were being collected, the Muslim community had grown and also fractured into rival sects and different schools of thought and each sect and school had its own sometimes conflicting traditions of what Muhammad and his companions had done and said. Traditions multiplied, and Muslim scholars made

Wouldnt it be better for heterosexuals to know homosexuals?

an i suppose you'd say we should get to know you intimately so as not to be afraid or predjudiced or overreact to the obvious differences that you as gay people try to press on straight people as being "normal" and that if we'd try it "we'd like it" and "homo's are smarter.." yeah, i'm sure. i'v got nothin against gays- i just can't stand being hit on in very impolite ways and i refuse to give credit to ingoramous women who think themselves above being polite to a stranger that isnt because the dykes and fags can eat themselves when it comes down to it.

do you ever give someone a thumbs down on a rating if your answer wasnt picked.?

I believe a lot of "Thumbs Down" ratings are based in resentment. I tend to give a Thumbs Down only if the chosen answer was voted and has no relationship to the question.\n\nIf the asker chose the answer, I'll likely give it a Thumbs Up for support, even if I don't agree with it.


can you please tell me what type of practice is good for outfielders.?

I played outfield. We had a coach who used to set a pitching machine at maximum speed from home plate to toss balls high into the outfield.  we had to stand and point to where the ball was going to land rather than run and catch it (that came later)  It was great practice for judging the flight of the ball and being able to anticipate where to run to catch the ball.

Why do we have only 2 days of the week to spend for our break for work or school?

When you grow up, you will understand that time is money.  It may seem unfair to only have 2 days off out of 7, but that's just the way things are.  There are people in the world who work or go to school 6 or 7 days a week, and get a day off only once in a great while.\nEnjoy being a kid as long as you can.

How is it very cold and icy on the peak of mountains?

To expand on Valentin's answer:\n\nFirst, realize that most atmospheric heating comes from the surface of the earth; the atmosphere itself is transparent to most frequencies of light energy coming from the Sun.  It's when that radiation hits the surface of the Earth and gets converted to infrared, i.e. heat, radiation that the atmosphere gets heated.\n\nNow, the "physics problem":  Pressure, density and temperature are all related by gas laws.  As the warm air rises, it expands, without taking on heat from its environment, and thus cools.  \n\nNext, add the "natural phenomenon".  Higher altitude air is generally drier than lower altitude air; water vapor helps lock in the heat radiating from the surface; hence higher altitude air locks in less heat than lower altitude air.  And, it's true that high altitude winds result in the air absorbing less heat from the surface.

Who can let me know what needs to be done to my system by showing them a scan log from HijackThis....for free?

HijackThis (HJT) is a valuable tool but can be very tricky. Scanning, posting logs, trying fixes, scanning, posting... can be time consuming and can takes days.\nI work in an IT Departments and do consulting/repair work on the side. I've done dozens of spyware removals and now have a standard game plan.\nI install and run a FREE program called Ccleaner which removes temp and unneeded files including prefetch files where certain spyware hide and regenerate.\nI suggest a quicker FREE online scan by Ewido (see link below). \nIt is an ActiveX component which will scan, find and (unlike other free scanners) fix problems within an hour or two.\nSometimes three scans are required. I always scan,fix and run till there is nothing to fix. Little more time consuming,but ensures spyware traces are gone. Hint: you can manually empty recycle bin and delete Temp IE files in Internet options to cut your scan time down.\n\nAs other has posted, there are links for registered(FREE) members to various sites to post HJT logs. I included two others I use.\n\nWhichever way you decide to go, Good Luck!

what is the benefit of government expenditure on social programmes?

The benefits are things like, highways, national defense, education, healthcare, and jobs.  There will always be people who need help and in the long run having people who are educated and healthy will benefit the country more than cutting social programs.  The more educated people in the country the better advances in technology and healthcare which in turn will help people.  It is all a big cycle of people helping people.

why do pro sports players get so much money i mean that's hell of a lot of money dude!!?

Before we discuss that you have to take into consideration that teams make lots of money due to tickets, broadcasting payments and advertisements …etc, the more the money inflow the more they pay on players’ wages. The players playing in a professional team dedicate all their time to the team so its their only job, and players playing in good teams are so unique and exceptionally good that they are paid lots of money, the better and more unique the player the more they are paid, its like any other job, the better you are the more you are paid, the stronger the firm you work in the more you are paid. You can’t just find the skills of professional players anywhere, therefore teams need to compete to secure the services of the good players and the only way they can compete is by using money


Which influences violence more in adolescents? Parents or television?

Parents usually.  Children learn from what they see and hear.  If they see this from their parents they are going to think that is normal, that every familt does it.  Also, if you are abused yourself it can be a repeating pattern as you grow older, not realizing that for most people violence is unaccptable.\n\nAlthough, TV does come in a close second.  It desencesisize them and often doesn't show consiquences to those action.

what mass of sulfur must be used to produce 12.6.1L of gases sulfur dioxide at ST..?

First you must find the number of moles of 12.6 Liters of SO2 gas at STP.\n\nAt STP an ideal gas (we will assume SO2 is an ideal gas) has a volume of 22.4 Liters.\nSo how many moles would be in 12.6 Liters?\n\nAfter you obtain the number of moles of SO2, then figure out how many moles of Sulfur there are in 1 mole of SO2.\nFor every 1 molecule of SO2, there is 1 Sulfur atom, so for every 1 mole SO2, there is 1 mole of Sulfur.  Knowing this, you can calculate the number of moles of Sulfur needed.\n\nBy multiplying tbe number of moles of Sulfur needed by the molar mass of Sulfur (32.07 g/mol) you can find the mass of the Sulfur required.


How do those Christians who take the Bible literally, deal with its contradictions?

I totally agree with the inference of your question. I have read the answers and looked up a suggested site that presents both sides of the argument - a very good reference.\nMy pet (pun intended) contradiction is about the number of birds that went into Noah's Ark. Gen. 6:20 ≠ Gen. 7:3  \n\nFirst let me say, that I only see a literal contradiction, the meaning or spirit of the story of Noah and the flood is far more important than the contradictions in detail.\n\nThe explanation by the apologist is that the reference to two animals refers to the order the animals boarded the Ark, so allowing for seven pairs of the same species of animal.\n\nFor me, a reasonable explanation of the difference is that one root story (Ch 6) came from a tribe  where the animals would be seen as only being needed for propagation, while the other root story (Ch 7) was from a tribe where, clean animals would have been needed for food supplies as well as propagation.\n\nThe answer to your question is I suggest, that those who hold to a literal interpretation, deny the contradiction by going to extreem lengths of explaination to maintain the possibility of literal truth.  They do this because literal truth is an easier to argue, than finding a compassionate integration of God's message into the reality of human life.


How do you create electrical impulses inside the body?

I suspect it is a biochemical process. I skimmed the attached reference, and here is what I was able to pull out: \n\nThere is a complicated process that takes place in the neurons. Chemical action separates positive sodium and potassium ions from anions across a membrane, creating an electric field. Neurotransmitters open ion gateways in the membrane when the field is built up to a certain level. This allows an electromagnetic wave to travel down the nerve. \n\nIt is MUCH more complicated than that, but that is a simplified cartoon version of the events I think.

Hedging is the attempt to mitigate the impact of economic risks on an entity's performance. Many businesses will engage in hedging activity to limit economic risk. Hedging activity can be as simple as borrowing in a foreign currency where an entity has a usual revenue stream in that currency. Many economic hedges will not meet the criteria to qualify for the special accounting treatment identified in IFRS as hedge accounting. \n\nHedge accounting means designating a hedging instrument, normally a derivative, as an offset to changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item. Non-derivative financial instruments may be used as hedging instruments in certain limited circumstances . A hedged item can be an asset, liability, firm commitment, or forecasted future transaction that is exposed to a risk of change in value or changes in future cash flows [IAS39.10]. Hedge accounting attempts to match the offsetting effects of the fair value changes in hedged items and hedging instruments, and recognise them in net profit or loss at the same time. \n\nThe normal rules for financial instruments call for all derivatives to be carried at fair value with gains and losses in the income statement  . Hedge accounting allows departures from the normal recognition rules. Accounting rules for hedging are necessary to reflect the economics of hedging relationships in reporting performance. An entity using hedge accounting can impact on the timing of recognition of gains and losses from fair value changes in hedged items and hedging instruments, and avoid the significant volatility that might arise if the gains and losses were recognised in the income statement under normal accounting rules.


what would the average price of zoloft be for a year at 150mg per day?

I find my teeth bleeding when i brush it. will it make my breath bad?

You need to get a soft toothbrush and brush your teeth and gums 2-3 times a day, and FLOSS twice a day.  You need to follow up with a salt water rinse to toughen your gums.  If you don't do this, you will get gum disease and rot your teeth.  The bleeding is a sign of problems.  I learned the hard way from a military dentist.

What are the reasons Diabetics cant drink?

Some of those answers are right but alcohols like beer contain barley and hops, a type of grain. Drinking beer is like eating a loaf of bread and bread is a carb so carbs raise your sugar and high sugar is bad for you. Wine is another story, the main componet in wine is grapes/and or other types of fruits and you know fruits are high in sugar so thats like eating fruit and also the alcohol in it will have an adverse affect on your insulin so thats really why you are not to drink too much. The girl that gave the list of amounts is right thats what they say we can have in one day, but if you are set on getting drunk and keeping your sugar under control drink liquor, like vodka and gin in mixed drinks NOT containing fruit juices, I suggest diet pop/soda or straight.

who has the authority to decide spam sites? and on what basis they will divide the sites as spam sites?

Actually, anyone has the "authority" to decide what\nis spam and what is a spam site, but of course some \npeople have more influence than others :-)\n\nConsider that any user can train their email filters\nhow to re-file incoming mail into an "inbox" or into\nsome kind of "junk" folder (or even directly into\nthe recycle bin).\n\nAt a higher level would be an ISP or even a telecom\ncompany that filters out everything from certain IP\naddresses which are generally recognized as sources\nof unwanted SPAM.\n\nThat higher level filtering is usually based on a\n"Black List" -- which is just a list of sites which\nare known spammers.  Anyone can create a "blacklist",\nbut the authority or power comes from whoever \npays attention to it (and thus filters traffic \nbased on it).\n\nFor more information, search for "blacklist+spam" in google

Is anyone on this site been diagnosed with Sarcoidosis?

Don't try to diagnosis yourself.  Lay people don't do a good job of it at all.  Sarcoidosis is a very rare disease, and is not something generally considered when someone complains of chest pains.  The lungs are usually not the cause of chest pains.  Lung disease is manifested by shortness of breath, cough, sputum production, fever, primarily.  You may well just be a "worry wart", someone with an anxiety disorder, who is constantly scared of having a heart attack or other life threatening disease, so you magnify the normal feelings in your chest to the point that you interpret it as chest pains.\n\nGet your mind off your health.  Get out and walk for miles.  Get a hobby.  Strike up new friendships.  Read the Bible and pray to God.  GET a LIFE!!!


Do you feel you can seperate your religious beliefs from your politics?

Your question is unclear.\n\nIf you mean how I vote and conduct my personal business, no, I cannot and will not separate my beliefs.

Is the row over Prophet Mohammed's cartoons indicators of a ongoing 'clash of civilizations'? Why/ Why not?

Yes it is. Most of the worlds wars started over religion and this is further proof.\n\nThe Danish imams, who protested the publication of 12 Muhammad cartoons [see them all below] in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten last September, have announced that they want to end the dispute. For four months the imams and their radical Muslim organizations have unsuccesfully demanded government censorship. However, despite immense pressure (also from international organizations such as the UN and the EU) the Danish government refused to call the newspaper to account.\n\nLast week a couple of Norwegian papers decided to publish the cartoons in support of the Danish paper while in Denmark moderate Muslims, encouraged by the government’s refusal to be intimidated by the radicals, have distanced themselves from the imams. The latter announced on Friday that they no longer demand apologies from Jyllands-Posten for the publication. Instead they said they just want two things: a guarantee from the Danish authorities that Muslims can freely practice their religion without being “provoked and discriminated.” And a declaration from Jyllands-Posten that the cartoons were not published with the intention of mocking the Muslim faith. “We want Jyllands-Posten to show respect for the Muslims. This can happen with an apology, but it can also happen in some other way. We will leave it to Jyllands-Posten to come up with some ideas,” said Ahmed Akkari, spokesman of the Muslim organizations. “We want respect for Muhammad restored and we want him to be described as the man he really was in history, and that he gets the respect he deserves,” Akkari stressed that Muslim organizations are still deeply opposed to the publication of the cartoons.


Does anyone have a good solution to sea-sickness?

The bracelets I found to be the best.  Using medication makes it difficult as it is best not to drink alcohol with it.  The stabilizers are so good on the ships nowadays that you can hardly determine that the ship is moving.  If you did start to feel strange, believe it or not, the best thing to do is to eat, especially crackers and dry foods.  One waiter had me put a LOT of salt on a slice of lemon and suck it.  Believe me, NOTHING was going to come up after that.  Another trick is not to think about it and have a great time.


Whats your position on the whole merry christmas/happy holidays controversy?

There is a Christian holiday called Christmas when Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus and then there is an American holiday called Christmas that is about Santa Claus and reindeer and snowmen and getting together with family and friends and having parades. Whether you celebrate the Christian version of Christmas or the American version of Christmas, it is still Christmas to the large majority of Americans.
