I might get a C on my report card. What should I do?

Study harder. If that's not the problem then talk to your teacher & try to figure out what to do. They will know best what you need to do to pull up your grade. Oh and tell your parents if you are still in grade school so they don't find out later & get really mad, unless you know you can pull it up or they won't find out. But if you do tell them then approach them with the "I'm really trying & I don't know what else to do" attitude so you'll be less likely to get in trouble!

What does Discrete Memory mean in respect to graphics cards?

Discrete memory means the video memory is not used from the computer's memory (RAM). It will come with its own memory. \n\nGraphics card with discrete memory will perform better. \n\nIf you buy a laptop say 512MB RAM with shared graphics memory of 128 MB, this effectively means that the available RAM for other process will be 396 MB.


what is the function of the human reproductive system?


Does the best man wear a different color of vest and tie than the groom?

Usually the best man's tie and vest match the maid of honors gown. Way back when I got married (79) my hubby wore a white tux, the best man a blue one (maid of honor wore a blue gown) and each groom's men wore a matching tux to the ladies gown. So yes is my answer. Also the best men and groom's men wear different boutonnieres.

Parts of Canada have considered joining the US occasionally. For example, the reason that the rail line going to British Columbia was built was because BC was considering joining the US if it was not built. \n\nThe US had hoped to annex parts of Canada in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, and the "Patriot War" of 1837. The phrase "Manifest Destiny" was sometimes used as a shorthand expression for the notion that the United States should occupy all of North America. During the Polk administration, the slogan "Fifty-Four Forty or Fight" was used to describe where the Americans wanted the border with British North America to be drawn. In the Oregon treaty of 1846, the border was placed at the 49th parallel instead for most of western North America (except for some confusion around Angle Inlet, on the Minnesota-Manitoba border).   \n\nCanada and the US have very different cultures. Being a dual citizen, and having lived half my life in one of the two and half my life in the other, I can say this with a lot more authority than Canadians or Americans who occasionally visit for vacations or for business or for shopping, or know the other country from watching TV and movies. The two countries are quite different in many ways that are not immediately apparent unless you live for an extended period in both. The citizens of both countries have huge misconceptions about the other country, both positive and negative. I suspect that the cultures of the two have never been the same, and are not really getting any closer with time, even in the era of easy travel and communications. I think a merger would be very difficult for this reason.\n\n- - - - - - - - \nmoreacidthanalkaline, you are incorrect. The US has gained territory by invasion, or attempted to, repeatedly:\n1. it seized land from the indigenous peoples\n2. all of the American Southwest acquired from Mexico after an invastion in the Mexican-American war. \n3. the invasion leading to the Aroostook War (on the New Brunswick-Maine border)\n4. repeated invasions during the War of 1812, the Revolutionary War and the Patriot War of 1837\n5. Hawaiian acquisition might be viewed as the result of an invasion of sorts \n6. Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philipines were annexed as the result of the Spanish-American War; not exactly an invasion, but still aggressive action\n7. American Samoa\n8. Florida was acquired after an American invasion\n\nAnd many other more minor examples. There are plenty of examples of aggressive American action in the past, some that resulted in the acquisition of territory, some that resulted in the acquisition of influence, power, markets etc. \n\nI do not think the US wants to acquire Iraq. I would say that would be one of those most unlikely events ever.

what do you think of someone getting away with murder and never being charged with it?

I think in most places it's not just up to the police; the local prosecutor's office usually makes the charging decision.  Also, if it seems that the police and prosecutor are not acting reasonably, you might be able to get a reporter interested in the story.  That can sometimes cause the authorities to take more action.


How can I get information about housing auctions and/or buying foreclosed homes in the Bay Area?

You can get a list from your county auditor and often they have the listings available online.  Be aware that they usually require 20% payment at the time of auction and 100% within a week.  You also need to check with the auditor for outstanding tax bills and utility bills b/c you would assume those if you buy the house at auction.


Anyone know why my 8 year old daughter all of the sudden has a ruptured ear drum, with fever, etc....?

My daughter had the same thing happen at the age of 6.  She woke in the middle of the night crying and said her ear hurt, I put her back in bed and in the morning she had blood coming from her ear.  I felt horrible.  The doctor said that she must have had an ear infection but was not complaining until it was ready to burst.  The cause was believed to be water in the ear from the shower which caused bacteria to grow very fast.  Kids sometimes don't complain much until it is really bad.  After this we had to use ear plugs when she swam or showered.  Also we used a product made for swimmers ear which helps dry the ear out.  She is now twenty and still has problems with the same ear.


I am allergy to egg yolk. Does anyone have any recipes. That they can share?

As any person with a food allergy, you should be an avid label reader. If whole eggs, powdered egg white or dried egg is added, it should be listed with the ingredients. You should also avoid foods with "vitellin" or "albumin" as they are parts of an egg. Your intolerance for "foods with egg in them" is not unusual. Sometimes small amounts of cooked eggs, especially yolks, are tolerated. But a meal, which combines several foods containing egg, will have an accumulative effect and your mouth will get itchy. Potato salad is one such food. It usually has hard-boiled eggs and mayonnaise as ingredients. I found the following egg-free potato salad and boiled mayonnaise recipe for you.\n\nEGG-FREE POTATO SALAD\n\n    * 2 pounds sliced warm boiled potatoes\n    * 2 TBSP chopped chives\n    * 1/2 cup chopped celery\n    * 1/4 cup grated onion\n    * 1 TBSP cider vinegar\n    * salt and pepper to taste \n\nCombine potatoes, chives, celery, onion, vinegar, salt and pepper. Stir well and chill. Refrigerate while making boiled mayonnaise.\n\nSPECIAL BOILED MAYONNAISE\n\n    * 1/2 TBSP flour\n    * 1/2 tsp. salt\n    * 1/4 tsp. dry mustard\n    * 2 tsp. sugar\n    * 1/4 cup cold water\n    * 3/4 cup boiling water\n    * 2 TBSP lemon juice\n    * 1 TBSP white vinegar\n    * 1/2 cup vegetable oil\n    * salt and pepper to taste \n\nCombine flour, salt, dry mustard and sugar in a saucepan and stir to a smooth paste with the 1/4 cup of cold water. Add the boiling water and cook only until mixture is clear. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm. Add the lemon juice, vinegar and oil beating constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Pour cooled boiled mayonnaise over potato salad. Makes about 1 3/4 cups.\n\nIn recipes that call for egg, substitute one-half teaspoon of egg-free baking powder for each egg omitted from the recipe. (Calumet Double Acting Baking Powder is egg-free.) Egg is often used as a leavening agent, which helps a cake to rise. The baking powder would create the same effect as the egg. However, in recipes that use eggs for other purposes, the baking powder would not be recommended. For instance, egg is often used to dip foods prior to deep fat frying. In this case of an egg based batter, the egg could be omitted and some baking powder could be used with the flour or batter coating or omitted entirely.\n\nI would not recommend using low cholesterol egg products like "Egg Beaters" for persons with an egg allergy. These products usually contain egg whites.\n\nI would like to suggest three allergy cookbooks. (Most are milk, egg or wheat free).\n\n    * "Cooking for People with Food Allergies", Home and Garden Bulletin No.246, is available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.\n    * "Quaker Oats Allergy Cookbook" is from Quaker Oats Company, Merchandise Mart Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60654.\n    * "Special Recipes and Allergy Aids" can be obtained from General Foods, Consumer Center, 250 North Street, White Plains, New York, 10625.\n\n\nCheck out: http://allergies.about.com/cs/eggs/a/aa062899.htm\n\nHere's cookie recipes: http://allergies.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=allergies&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fallrecipes.com%2Fdirectory%2F694.asp


Is it OK to paint a room yellow for kids with ADD or ADHD?

It really depends on the child. If they love the color I say go for it but keep the room visually quiet. Many ADD ADHD kids are not necessarily stimulated by a color as much as they are by the number of things in a room we use a lot of storage containers for small items toys clothes and books. I was pleasantly surprised by how my son reacted to having his room decluttered we too then went to a brighter wall color (and bedding) without any problems\nGood luck

what is media access control and its importance?

Hi Brian.\n\nMedia Access Control and is a unique identifier for your network card/interface, aka the "MAC address".  These addresses are important because you can configure other devices, like a wireless router, to only allow network interfaces with specific MAC addresses to connect.  \n\nThis is one way to protect your home wireless network from being used by the neighbors but it is, of course, not foolproof.  There are tools you can use to spoof a MAC address, so it's not 100% effective, but its a pretty good start for home networks.  There is a link below with more technical info re: MAC addresses.\n\nHope this helps.

The correct answer is "Wikipedia rocks!"


Why do all nations have the same time measurements?

Time now, is a universal thing.  It would be a pain to convert different time measurements.\n\nBack then when clocks and wristwatches weren't invented yet, different civilizations had different ways of telling time because of the lack of world-wide communication like we have now.  With today's technology it is easy to have a universal system for time.

where can I find a u.s. constitution test for 3rd graders?

EBITA is a particular cut of a company's balance sheet:\n\nEarnings Before Interest, Taxes, and Amortization.\n\nThis is, as you suggested, pre-tax earnings, but it also excludes interest (both interest on outstanding debt and returns on investments), and amortization (which is the process of gradually depreciating purchases over time to spread their purchase cost).\n\nThe EBITA margin would then just be EBITA as a percentage of Earnings.

Do you think The Great Wall Of  U.S.A needs to built on the US, Mexican Boder? Why?

Hey Junior (ABOVE): You said "Well that seems stupid to me a while back the US was against the wall that divided two european countries i am not sure if it was germany. But now they want to do that in their own country that is stupid..."\n\nJust so you can be more informed: That wall didn't divide two countries. It divided West Germany from East Germany (What once was and now again is one country: GERMANY.) In fact it was even built in the middle of a city (Berlin) making two cities...East Berlin and West Berlin. And the wall was used to keep East Germans locked into the country like prisoners. The West was free and the East was controlled by the Soviets. The wall we are talking about along the southern border of the US would be between two sovereign nations and would be built to keep would-be lawbreakers from entering unchecked and unwanted. If I were you, I wouldn't go around comparing current events to history until I get my history all figured out. ;D


People make mistakes, they marry the wrong people or for the wrong reasons.  Some people are fickle and fall out of love easily.  Others love the feeling of "falling in love" but when the honeymoon is over, it' over.  Others develop problems farther down the line.  As many divorces as there are, there are reasons for the divorce.\n\nPersonally, I don't want to restrict myself to a number, because as soon as I do, I'd break it.  I'd like to not ever want to marry again.

if 150grams of sugar is added to 100cm cube of water what is the mass?

The mass of 1 cm^3 of water is 1 gramme.  Therefore, 100 cm^3 of water will have a mass of 100 g. If you add 150 g of sugar (or salt or anything else that does not produce an explosion or gives off a gas) the total mass will be 250 g.\n\nIf you had asked what is the total volume, that would have been a completely different situation.


Clouds are flat on the bottom because of the condensation level. There is a point as you climb in altitude (not always the same) where the moist rising air reaches the dew point (saturation point) and condenses onto tiny particulate matter in the air.

To answer this question, you have to ask "How is a QB judged?"  .  If it is by championships, then it is Montana.  If you judge by statistics, then Young is all-time leader in passing efficiency.  If you judge by leadership, it's hard to argue that there was a better motivator/leader than Montana.  If you judge by athleticism, Young's ability to run changed the game forever.\n\nI'm a HUGE Steve Young fan and he is probably my favorite player of all time, but I'd have to give the edge to Montana for this reason:  he was able to take 3 vastly different teams to the Superbowl 4 times.  The 81 Team was so much different than the 85 team, which was different than the 88-89 teams.  There was no Jerry Rice or John Taylor in 85 and no Roger Craig on the 81 squad.  Joe was the constant and to me, that's what makes him extraordinairy. When you look at the Steelers of the 70's, and the Cowboys of the 90's they did it with the same core group.  The 49ers of the 80's were truly led by the game's great all time QB.

on zippers what do the letters YKK stand for?

The YKK Group is a Japanese group of manufacturing companies. Founded in 1934 by Tadao Yoshida in Higashi Nihonbashi, Tokyo, it was originally known as San-Es Shokai (サンエス商会). It was renamed to Yoshida Kogyosho (吉田工業所) in 1938, to Yoshida Kogyo K.K. (Yoshida Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, 吉田工業株式会社) in 1945, and to YKK (YKK Kabushiki Kaisha, YKK株式会社) in 1994. The name YKK was first registered as a trademark in 1946.\n\nToday the YKK Group is most famous for making zippers, although it also does business in other fastening products, architectural products, and industrial machinery.

Work on a strength conditioning program for both your upper body and your legs also.  Don't lift weights to increase muscle size because that will slow you down.  Lift to increase muscle strength.  There is a difference.\nAnother thing you can do is practice your swing by standing a bat's length away from a wall or a fence.  Then swing the bat at full speed without hitting the wall or fence.  When you get good at this, you can eventually move closer until you are 1/2 bat length away.


Is a past ball an error on the catcher when a batter advances?

A passed ball is not charged as an error on the catcher.  However, an errant throw by the catcher when attempting to prevent a steal results in a runner advancing, an error is charged to the catcher.\n\nFor more detail, see MLB Rule 10.08.  The official rules for the scorekeeper.

Is there anyone else who doesn't believe in god, but is a evolutionist?

I am sorry to not be able to offer better company. If it is of any relief, I did meet one guy a long time ago who was a true atheist. His belief was that mankind would be better off the sooner they realized that a higher power was neither existant nor necessary. I was intrigued to find someone of such a like and opinion. Although I do not agree, I did respect his thoughts and beliefs. Unfortunately, the rest of the class overheard and went off on him. I had to apologize for it was not my intention when I first asked. So, no, you're not alone.


Does anyone know the name of the mythological turtle that carries the earth on it's shell?

The Chinese traditionally see the tortoise as a supporter of the world, its four feet being the four corners of the earth. I believe its name was the Black Warrior.\n\nIn Hindu tradition, the world rests on the back of an elephant, a male solar symbol, which in turn stands upon a tortoise, in this case a feminine lunar symbol. Sorry, don't know the name for that.\n\nThe Iroquois of North America believe that they are descended from a turtle that rid itself of its shell, and that the earth sits on the back of the Great Turtle.\n\nYou can also check the link below for an interesting creation myth of the Native Americans.\n\nIt does not seem like much, but hopefully that will get you started on your research. Good luck.

Was anyone at the Louis Armstrong Airport  (New Orleans) on September 3, 2005?

No, but I was there August 30th.  I'm a pediatrics resident @ Children's Hospital in New Orleans, and we caravaned 30 kids to the airport to have them air lifted to Kansas City & Houston.  It was a jaw-dropping experience.  I have been on many transports before across the gulf coast, but I have never seen anything like this.  I still kick myself for not having a camera.\n\nMyself and other doctors and nurses used our personal vehicles to transport these children from the hospital in uptown new orleans to the airport in kenner (30 minute drive).  Security was extremely tight on the tarmac.  When we finally got onto the tarmac, there were dozens of helicopters &  transport planes coming in and out of the airport - it looked like a fully functioning military base.  Transport teams came out of 3 different national guard aircraft, triaged patients and set off to their destinations in less than an hour.\n\nOn the way back to the hospital (we still had a few patients) we drove by the staging area in metairie @ I-10 and Causeway that you probably saw on TV.  There were thousands of people surrounded by hundreds of emergency vehicles and buses littering the intersection.\n\nThose days after katrina changed by life forever - I will never forget, and I am committed to bring New Orleans back - it's my home


how is the first game of baseball season determined?  does the winner of the world series play the first game?

It has nothing to do with the World Series.  The season usually starts at the end of March, or early April.  Various games are played on the same day. Recently Major League Baseball has had a season opening game outside of the U.S.  Teams were chosen based on how they would draw in that country.

Criticism - Can a non-muslim criticize Islam - Can a non-christian Criticize Christianity - Can a Non Jew...?

For the entire period, now 2,006 years of Christianity's existence, Christians have been criticizing my Judaism! Embedded in the Christians' New Testament there are derogatory statements about my fellow Jews and about Judaism, stereotyping us, labeling us, calling us everything from being Blind to being Hypocrites. So, yes, someone outside of Judaism can criticize us and they still do, as witnessed by the writings of many here on answers.yahoo.com, Christian and Muslim alike!!

What if Bush fails to bring democracy to Islamic country,would Next President succeed?

No President will succeed:\n\n"[If a] people [are] so demoralized and depraved as to be incapable of exercising a wholesome control, their reformation must be taken up ab incunabulis. Their minds [must] be informed by education what is right and what wrong, [must] be encouraged in habits of virtue and deterred from those of vice by the dread of punishments, proportioned indeed, but irremissible. In all cases, [they must] follow truth as the only safe guide and eschew error which bewilders us in one false consequence after another in endless succession. These are the inculcations necessary to render the people a sure basis for the structure of order and good government." --Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1819. ME 15:234


Are the VOTEING machines RIGED 4 the next election  ???

if they weren't rigged, why would the gov't refuse to let UN election inspectors monitor the presidential election?  you'd think with as many problems as there were in 2000 (and 2004), any measure to ensure fairness would be welcome.  i'm sure there are other explanations, like the US is autonomous and can handle its own business; that attitude is evident enough in how little credence is given to UN authority in this country.  however, the past few elections have had gigantic controversy over voting fraud and selective voter disenfranchisement--so, there is very poor evidence for the claim that the US can handle its elections by itself.  why the refusal?  long story short, there are ways of rigging elections that the powers that be don't want to be stopped.


Im looking to find the location of an IP ADDY But when I use mine it says I live in FL but I really live in OH

There are several free services on the web that claim to translate an IP Address into a physical location.  They're mostly pretty bogus... often off by one state, at least, and sometimes more.\n\nYour ISP may have moved around the assignments of the IP address ranges that it "owns", and the service that does the translation hasn't figured it out yet.

Is it normal to still be close to your ex's parents after a divorce?

I understand your feelings.  Talk to Hubby about it.  Make him understand how it makes you feel.  He should be willing to help with your feeligns.  Some compromise is in order.  Because of the kids, they inlaws will be a part of your life, but how much a part is something you two can discuss.  Sounds to me like he can give a little, and you can as well.  Good luck!

I need to get my phone records for 800-877#s and I need to file a subpeona. How do I do this? It is for insur?

Instead of getting a subpeona for your records, why not just ask for a duplicate copy of your bill from that month to be sent to you for records purposes.  It will list all your calls on the register.\n\nHowever, getting your phone records probably won't help.  Just because you called doesn't mean that you discussed that particular issue.  And even if you know specifically who you talked to, it doesn't mean she will remember you - service reps can sometimes talk to a few hundred people a day on a variety of topics.\n\nI've seen cases where people claim they were told one thing by their insurance company verbally and they sued unsuccessfully, because ultimately it is your job to know your own policy contract as it is written.


As an alien I have to go for an INS interview with my wife. What kind of questions do they ask at INS?

The kind of questions you would expect if you were talking to a cop.  Name, address, IDs, other names used, work history, school history, etc.\n\nThey will ask you everything about your life, what you do, where you go, what you eat, etc.  Just answer honestly and try to just answer the question they asked.\n\nTake all your paperwork but take only what you know that you will need.  My brother in law had exactly 8 pages and attached copies.  He was in and out with his B1 in about an hour.\n\nThe people who were not organized were in there, looking through stacks of papers, got confused, the agent got up and left them sitting there and it must have taken more time.\n\nIf you let this be fun, sure, it is really not bad at all!\nFace it, it is not as bad as going to the dentist.


My parents dont really like my boyfriend, what should i do? please read below:?

I think everyone struggles with this at one point or another with their parents.  I know I have.  The main thing is you need to make the decision for yourself.  Who is it that you are going to be growing old with....certainly not your parents.  It's difficult to cut those ties between being an adult and still being viewed as their child.\n\nThe "adult" thing to do, is tell your parents it is ultimately your final decision.  Tell your parents, respectfully, that you will find out through trial and error which man you will ultimately spend the rest of your life with, but in the end it is your decision, not theirs.  This does not mean you love them any less, but their support and love are needed in different ways at this point in your life.  On the other hand if they do view their opinion about something do not ignore it.  Place it in the back of your mind and think about it.  Sometimes a third party can see things that an individual may not see due to the emotions involved in a relationship.\n\nGood Luck!  I know I have let some good ones go because my father "didn't approve", through time and the wise words of my aunt, I have learned what I mentioned above.  In some ways having that "adult" conversation with my parents, they show me a higher level of respect then they did before.\n\nDon't spend your time "proving" anything to them, you will only make yourself tired.  Parents and loved ones will choose to see what they want.  Only you and your boyfriend know the whole dinamics of your relationship.  Just don't be "blinded" by any red flags.

As a parent Do I have the right to tape record an IEP????

I am aware of cases where it was very fortunate that an audiotape was made of certain meetings.  While the IEP meeting is meant to be collaborative and cooperative, I am aware that many parents in both Canada and the US do not find them to be that way.  \n\nMany people here have given excellent advice.  My only comments would be to reinforce that you should let people know you are taping the meeting.  It is your child that is being discussed and you have a right to have an accurate record of the discussion, but do so with tact and diplomacy, presenting a logical reason for doing so, and it shouldn't be a problem.

This is a classic example of how collection companyes screw you!\n\nEven after you have paid off the debt, they continue to post your histor on your credit report.\n\nNext time, send them a letter telling them that IF you pay off the debt, they MUST remove any negative history.  \n\nNow look where you are?  Broke and bad credit.  \n\nYour first job is to contact all of the creditors and credit bureau and demand that the status of all those loans say "paid in full".  Have the credit reporting agencies place a letter in your file explaining what happened.  You are allowed a short message.  \n\nGo through the links I've supplied and see if it helps.  \n\nGood luck.

I am retaining water what can I use to reduce the amount of water in my body?

Dandelion (10-20 drops of tincture) is remedy for water retention. It helps reduce edema and may be used for as long as you like. Dandelion not only helps remove excess fluid from the cells, it nourishes and tones the kidneys (and adrenals) and liver, increases the digestibility of food, and offers plant hormones to ease menopausal change.31\n\nDong quai has been shown to have a diuretic effect and used regularly may relieve bloat. It has been shown to inhibit many bacteria: Gram-negative bacteria Bacillus dysenteriae, By. Typhi, B. comma, B. paratyphi and Escherichia coli as well as Gram-positive bacteria such as Streptococcus, corynebacterium diphtheriae and Shigella. The volatile oils exert a mild sedative effect that inhibits brain activity as well as smooth muscle in the intestine and bladder.33\n\nCommon foods such as asparagus, corn (and cornsilk tea), grapes, cucumber, and watermelon may be used freely. Parsley, celery, black tea and coffee may be used more sparingly in order to reduce water retention. Also, it is suggested that those with a tendency toward water retention limit salt intake.\n\nLavender may help correct a tendency toward water retention.\n\nEssential oils that may help fluid retention include cypress, geranium, juniper, lavender and rosemary. Essential oils may be used in a number of ways including inhalation, baths, vaporizers, mouthwashes and gargles, compresses and massage.

HOw did you know what you wanted to be when you grew up?

Think about what you do that you're good at that makes you happy, that makes you feel like you're in sync with the universe.  See if you can find something to do that connects with that.  And don't worry about not knowing yet, that just means your experience of the world isn't wide enough at this point.  Graduate and start general studies in college, like someone else said, and read read read--get out and try things, volunteer, get exposure to all the things people do to make the world work.\n\nThere's a great show called Dirty Jobs--I always laugh when I see it, because it's full of things no one would ever think of doing for a living, and yet, here are all these people doing them!  They found their way there somehow, and so will you.

If your best friend does not want to date you, then chances are that he does think your boyfriend is not good enough for you.  Think about it.  How many time have you seen the nice girl dating the bad guy?  We've all seen it.  Some think the bad boy is fun or really a sweety underneath.  Is this you?  If it is then your best friend is a good guy.  He is trying to protect you.  The fact is that it is your decision.  You'll have to tell him you need to "agree to disagree."\n\nIf your best friend does want to date you, then that is a whole different story.  You may need to choose.\n\nGood luck!

explain how one will prioritise their web content when designing a website?

prioritizing  is determining which areas to work on first. It is usually best to first repair those areas that have the greatest impact on users' experience with your Web site. Depending on how your site is developed, you may be able to repair many barriers through:\n\nTemplates that impact many pages \nStyle sheets that impact many pages \nElements that impact many pages, such as navigation bars and scripts \nCertain pages may have higher priority, such as:\n\nThe home page, which is often the first entry point to the site \nThe main pages and functionality based on the purpose of the site, including \nThe path to get there from the common entry points \nThe path to complete transactions, such as ordering products \nFrequently-used (high traffic) pages and functionality, including the path to get there and complete transactions

How smat are you? Using the list below what items can you buy for $25.00 & 10.00Exactly.?

Items that cost a total of $10.00:\n\nGranola bars - 2.79\nWater - 2.58\nFrozen meal - 2.34\nTomatoes - 2.29\n\nHow I did it: I simply mixed and matched until I found the items.\n\nItems that cost a total of $25.00:\n\nmeat 3.99lb; granola bars 2.79; oj 1.36; eggs .79; bread 1.89; cheese 2.06; butter 1.39; oatmeal 1.19; water 2.58; frozen meal 2.34; yougurt 2.39; tomatoes 2.29\n\nHow I did it: This time, I worked backwards.  I added the prices of all the items and the total was $35.53.  Therefore, I looked for a set of items that cost $10.53.  When I found those items, I EXCLUDED those from the original list and kept the rest (since $35.53 - $10.53 = $25.00).

How to meditate to achieve more Love & Wisdom?

Focus less on technique and more on actual practice.  Just sit, lay, or stand, whichever you like, and close your eyes.  Use candles, incense...whatever helps you focus.  Breathe in through your nose, lightly out from your mouth.  Relax, and allow your mind to be still.  \n\nIf you want to be more loving, realize that love only extends; extend love as you explore in meditation, the contents of your still mind; if you want wisdom, keep doing this with regularity, at the same time.  \n\nRead widely, understanding that wisdom is not contained in one, or any, book, but is free, as you are.

God will start it and finish it. You know, it's kind of interesting to check words out in the Greek and Hebrew. \n\nG717 Armageddon ar-mag-ed-dohn'\nOf Hebrew origin [H2022] and [H4023]; Armageddon (or Har-Megiddon), a symbolical name: - Armageddon.\n\nH2022 har har\nA shortened form of H2042; a mountain or range of hills (sometimes used figuratively): - hill (country), mount (-ain), X promotion.\n\nH4023 megiddon  megiddo meg-id-done', meg-id-do'\nFrom H1413; rendezvous; Megiddon or Megiddo, a place in Palestine: - Megiddo, Megiddon.\n\nH1413 gadad gaw-dad'\nA primitive root (compare H1461); to crowd; also to gash (as if by pressing into): - assemble (selves by troops), gather (selves together, self in troops), cut selves.\n\nRev.16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. \n\nThe gathering place of the crowd.


I am more interested in giving serious useful info. See my other answers also please. \n\nIn history, these rules change. Always..\n\nEuropeans became superpower because they had control over vast colonies. So the money (i use this word) flow was there from colonies to British system. So British became rich because other colonies became poorer. Simple.\n\nBy the mid of 19th century, the spread of science and technology helped spread of knowledge (printing, communication) and this and spread of English education in the colony nations, created "sub national feeling" all over the colonies. This resulted in political unrest in the colony by working with economical factors. As everywhere national freedom struggle became very common, it became increasingly expensive to directly control the colonies by British and direct colony rule became less and less feasible. Colonies were freed.\n\nBy this time USA emerged as big super power. USA never spent money to control colonies directly. USA used a technique normally referred as "Neo-colonialism". But the result is that USA became rich because the "money" was flowing from other regions to that area, endlessly. And initially there were enough resources there.\n\nBy the end of 20th century, the USA system again started facing problems. The same development and economic growth USA achieved also helped to raise the standard of its workers and labor became very expensive and the system was forced to ensure certain standards for its workers like Health Insurance. And domestic market reached a saturation point. USA corporate doesn’t want to pay high salaries again. Outsourcing is inaugurated to overcome this problem. So system tries to use the cheap labor elsewhere and access to the market all over the world and sell cheaper products everywhere and bring more money back to the corporate in USA.\n\nThere are two nations which are leading in executing outsourcing jobs currently, India and China. Right now India leads outsourcing. But the point is that, china's growth is not limited in outsourcing area, but also in fundamental areas and over the next two decades this will give them enough resources to advance the technology (see how they came up in Olympic tally), But India's shining is only in "run away" areas like outsourcing and software export. But outsourcing will move on to other regions tomorrow.\n\nIndia and China also has another advantage. That is the domestic market and huge resources. India has only one advantage against China. China is getting older and it is difficult for china to train their old folks. But India is always young. And is less expensive.\n \nOne can really understand, in this case only one ‘group’, which emerges stronger, is ‘western corporate’ lead by USA corporate. Also the global Corporate in general and USA corporate in particular is coming up with very strict patent and other laws globally which is aimed at controlling the knowledge and technology. As everybody knows, the control over the technology will decide the production cost and thus the control over the market, it is clear, even if the entire USA citizen starve, the corporate led by USA corporate are still safer.\n\nIn short, in the coming days, he geographical border is going to be irrelevant, the corporate are going to be stronger, and they move capital across the border. Thus the very question of, which country is going to be the super power is irrelevant. In tomorrow’s world it is going to be corporate vs. the rest.


I use a cgi powered Guest book. It suddenly started posting multiple entries from a single entry.  Any ideas?

It's farily obvious that your script has two problems:\n\n1. It's corrupting the text file where it stores entries.\n\n2. It's not secured against spammers.\n\nI'd scrap the current text file containing your guestbook entries. Alternatively, you could try reinstalling the Perl scripts themselves, but it appears pretty plain to me that the problem is your text file.\n\nYou should also consider upgrading your guestbook solution, since spammers can obviously submit to it.

My dad is currently in a study at Yale University in New Haven. I believe it's sponsored by Merck. I know the same study is taking place at 5 or 6 other instutitions around the country.

Usually have to reset the bios.  It's best to get a motherboard manual and see what's recommended, but the basics are: \n - pull the power cord and/or main battery (if it's a laptop), \n - pull the lithium battery (usually a flat silver one on the motherboard), \n - then apply the reset jumper on the motherboard.  \nThis last one is the tricky part as you have to know where it is on the MB and they all differ.  THIS WILL RESET ALL PARAMETERS ON THE BIOS, so you have to know what they are when the thing comes back up to put them back in.  If you have a standard motherboard (ex: Asus) then you can usually find that info on their website.\nIf this sounds scary, most computer stores can do it for you.

A buzzer or a beeper is a signalling device, usually electronic, typically used in automobiles, household appliances such as a microwave oven, or game shows.\n\nIt most commonly consists of a number of switches or sensors connected to a control unit that determines if and which button was pushed or a preset time has lapsed, and usually illuminates a light on the appropriate button or control panel, and sounds a warning in the form of a continuous or intermittent buzzing or beeping sound.\n\nInitially this device was based on an electromechanical system which was identical to an electric bell without the metal gong (which makes the ringing noise). Often these units were anchored to a wall or ceiling and used the ceiling or wall as a sounding board. Another implementation with some AC-connected devices was to implement a circuit to make the AC current into a noise loud enough to drive a loudspeaker and hook this circuit up to a cheap 8-ohm speaker. Nowadays, it is more popular to use a ceramic-based piezoelectric sounder like a Sonalert which makes a high-pitched tone. Usually these were hooked up to "driver" circuits which varied the pitch of the sound or pulsed the sound on and off.\n\nIn game shows it is also known as a "lockout system," because when one person signals ("buzzes in"), all others are locked out from signalling. Several game shows have large buzzer buttons which are identified as "plungers".\n\nThe word "buzzer" presumably comes from the buzzing noise that some buzzers make. Other sounds commonly used to indicate that a button has been pressed are a ring or a beep. Some systems, such as the one used on Jeopardy!, make no noise at all, instead using light.

hey conservatives, I have a question for you.....?

Please don't live by putting all people into the same category.  Not all conservatives are filthy rich.  While it's true that are deficit has grown horribly, it's because we are in a war, and our spending for that had to be a priority.  It sounds like your angry at corporations, which are at the heart of our economy.  You go to the grocery store and buy brand name products, that's where they come from.  They hire tons of workers and pay great benefits.  Without corporations, our country would be dirt poor like a third world country where people have nothing.  Money comes to those that work hard and sweat.  Everyone starts out small and works their way up.  Conservatives don't believe in receiving something for nothing, their work ethic is very strong.  You tell us not to be mad, then call us bastards!  Maybe you should channel your anger into something that will be profitable to you.  Our country is far from perfect, but it's still the greatest.  If you ever get a chance to visit a place where people wear rags, eat out of garbage dumps, have no running water or electricity, disease is rampant, and eat government doled out slop, you would realize that even the poorest Americans are like royalty in these peoples' eyes.

Ok my tattoo has begun to peel!  Now i can see little tiny white blotches underneath the peeling!?

Peeling and flaking of a new tattoo is perfectly normal. Before it actually begins to peel, the tattoo will look like it's covered with a whitish, cracking film. Then you'll see white or translucent flakes of old, dead skin start to peel off and some of the flakes may even contain some ink. Sometimes you can actually see a duplicate image of part of your tattoo peeling off - it's rather disconcerting, but it is also perfectly normal and there is no need to panic. It's a lot like a snake shedding its skin. Just add a little lotion (a LITTLE) to the tattoo to help keep it moist and encourage those flakes to come off. Do NOT scratch, pick or peel them. It will all be done in a few days and the color of your tattoo will start to return to normal.


thats because there is no such thing as normal. no one in the world can define or be the set example as normal, so the only way to be normal is to be weird because everyone else is weird.

Why was germany militarily successful in france?

America "doing laundry"?!?!  That is as insulting and ignorant as it is completely wrong.  And using casualty figures clouds the issues even more.  How many Soviet officers and soldiers did Stalin and his Commissars kill?  And to that we can add the poor tactics and training of the average Soviet "peasant and worker" troops who were slaughtered as they attacked directly into German lines.  But that isn't the question here.\n\nAs for why France and the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) fell so easily in 1940, we must look at these countries during the "interwar years" between WWI and WWII.  Both the UK and France suffered greatly during the “Great War” and their people wanted nothing to do with anything military.  Coupled with this was the mindsets in both countries military that tanks were a fluke invention and even if used, they were nothing more than mobile pill boxes.  Add to this the fact the British went back to pushing horse Cavalry over tanks even through WWII and you can see a trend.\n\nThe British also had a doctrine called “Limited Liability” where the Royal Navy was favored, along with the Royal Air Force (RAF) why the Army was relegated to a colonial police force.  Some of this came from the theories of prominent thinkers (Douhae, spelled wrong) who advocated independent air forces and mass bombing campaigns.  This appealed to an island nation wanting nothing to do with another land war in Europe.  Also, even in the face of German re-armament, the Spanish Civil War, and the Invasion of Poland (which the USSR helped with), neither the British, under Chamberlain, nor the French prepared for the coming war.\n\nFrance, after stating they would NEVER fight another war like WWI, immediately started preparing for another WWI in the 1920s.  Their doctrine for the coming war was “methodical battle”.  A series of defensive battles using tightly controlled units to stop the German advances while the Allies prepared their armies for the attack..a few years later.  The Germans simply over-ran the French lines before they could be set-up.\n\nFor the Germans, the interwar period saw them devote 10% of their military to conducting an After Action Review of WWI.  They reformed their Armed Forces from the top down.  They got rid of the “nobility” or privileged class restriction for the officer corps and instead set up formal education for officers similar to West Point, Annapolis and the War College in the US.  They conducted secret research into tanks with the Soviets in the 1920s with full support of the Soviet government.  When Hitler arrived, he had a professional core for his army and only lacked the production capacity for war.  This was one of the reasons he took Czechoslovakia as its tank factories were some of the best in the region. Germany incorporated the Czech tank into their army and named it the PZ-38T.\n\nWhen Germany entered France in 1940, they entered only after training extensively through the previous winter and only after they had integrated the newer PZIII and PZ IV Panzers into their training.  That said, a bulk of German Armor was still PZI Machine Gun tanks (small versions of the UK Matilda), and PZII training tanks (Armed with 20mm cannon and a machine gun).  The French and British had better tanks, and more of them.  However, the German combined arms tactics and superior mobility of its infantry, combined with some very stupid decisions by the Allies, along with very possible treason by those destined to be the Vichy French, combined to cause the fall of France only a few months later.\n\nThat’s the short rundown for a very much larger topic.  It must be noted that the only foul ups in this operation (i.e. allowing the BEF and French forces to evacuate from Dunkirk) occurred when Hitler got involved directly in military operations.  This set the tone for the rest of WWII.  When Hitler stayed out of the way, the Germans did well.  When he waded in like a


How do you propose we control illegal immigration into the United States?

We have to be smart. Walls and intense surveillance on the borders shoot to kill drug smugglers and their police and Mexican army escorts.\n\nMake a legal way for those in the country to become legal, since sending them all back is NOT a real option; it is just an emotional answer.\n\nDeny all services to undocumented aliens, no driver’s license, no welfare, no food stamps.\n\nMake conversational English requirement for all who desire citizenship. We do not want to disparage their roots, but it is the LEGAL language of the USA. Opportunities get better for them when they speak both languages, so MAKE IT SO FOR ALL IMMIGRANTS (not just Latin).\n\nAmend the Constitution to revoke instant citizenship for anyone born here, this will stop the "anchor baby" problem. The rule should be one citizen OR LEGAL immigrant parent. That is more than fair and just.\n\nOnce that is implemented, open immigration to people in record numbers, because the illegals would be cut so far down, thousands of others would be able come in. Allow legal immigrants to share in social services, that is fair.\n\nI don't even think that it would be bad for the USA to allow children to attend schools that live across the border in Mexico, BUT if we want to allow that, we need to have Uncle Sam PAY FOR IT. It would be a nice way of being friends after the 30 foot walls go up!

Why do people think killing is ok if it's done in the name of the USA?

Why isn't it?  People from these countries want to kill us, does that change anything?  You do not sit around and allow yourself to be in a target position.  When we have been attacked we must fight back.  Terrorists had been attacking the U.S. interests for several years and had to do something really big to get our attention.  They did we all wanted something done about it yesterday and we have declared war back against them.  If they no longer want to fight with us all that need be done is turn in those terrorist's that are wanted by the FBI and have rewards for their capture.   After that is done I believe all sides will be able to get together and figure out how we can all live together without stepping all over each other.  Yes these are people as well and as such have just as much value to their lives as do we to ours.  You do not gain peace by turning the other cheek.

Why do kids learn a new language faster and easier than grownups ?

Because:\n\n- they're less influenced by their native language,\n\n- they're quicker at learning everything,\n\n- their muscles are less used to their native language (producing a sound implies placing your tongue, lips, teeth etc. in the right position, and there's a learning to that, too),\n\n- they don't depend so much on their native tongue (i.e.: if they're for example Spanish kids learning English, and they see an image of an apple, they don't need to think of "manzana" (the word "apple" in Spanish). They just associate the image to the English word "apple" without going through their mother tongue. That is something adults tend to do too much,\n\n- they are less inhibited and self-conscious about making mistakes. They don't mind if they do, and making mistakes is a very important aspect of learning (anything in general, and languages in particular).

what are the consequences of military spending for global peace?

The military is for war not peace.\nSoldiers do not bring peace to the Earth.\nThey bring fear and death to the enemy.\nDeath is the only peace soldiers bring.\nSpending on the military for peace doesn't even sound right because it isn't right. \nSo in short the consequences of military spending for peace is  of course WAR.\nWhoever says otherwise is a salesman or a fool.

where does the idiom "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" originate?

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps\nMeaning\n\nImprove your situation by your own efforts.\n\nOrigin\n\nOf unknown but early, possibly as early as the 17th century, origin. Some early computers used a process called bootstrapping which alludes to this phrase. This involved loading a small amount of code which was then used to progressively load more complex code until the machine was ready for use. This has lead to the term 'booting', referring to starting up a computer.

what kinda damages does hurricanes make?

wind damage for some distance inland with most of the damage close to shore.  The storm surge can tear down buildings and drag them to the sea and it can wash large amount of beach out to sea (extreme erosion).  The rainfall can cause flooding in low lieing areas.\n\nIt depends on the category of the storm (1 being weakest wind, 5 being strongest), how close to shore you are, the geography of the region, the preparedness of the region hit (places that are hit often have building codes that minimize damage) and how slow the storm is moving.  A hurricane that decides to just sit on you for awhile can do a lot of damage.

Real horror fans don't want to see anymore girly movies like Scream with overcool characters and almost no blood. The hills have eyes delivers.

Why AOL is discouraging its Dial-up customers by having same rates for Dial up and broadband internet connect.

Your first mistake is choosing AOL as your primary internet service provider. Their customer service and support policies are inadequate to say the least. By increasing dial up prices and matching them to broadband, they are trying to systematically remove this clientele and allocate all resources to the technologically superior broadband. Dialup is a way of the past, it's expensive to maintain and doesn't generate enough revenue. Go with your local cable provider, they generally have much faster speeds and customer service.

What's worlds strongest nation? The Boss. I think its the US.?

we could be . perhaps we should be. but we 1st have to have the right attitude, motivation, and leadership. we can only lead[ be the boss] if  others followed ... would you follow someone you didn't respect?.. we 1st need to work on our self respect, then we must work on getting the respect of others ... the easiest way to do that is to show "them "respect. then we must make benevolent and magnanimous decisions..decisions based on what we give , not what we will get. i WANT us to be the boss but first we must earn the position... I'm afraid we're a long way off.... PS , we have the worlds strongest army ?? how do you think we'd be doing if "the insurgents" or anyone else we fought in the past 40 yrs had the same equipment and wmds that we posses??? heck the vietnamese beat us back  wearing "shower shoes" in the jungle... we ain't so "bad"
