It's an adrenaline thing, methinks.  Especially when you find yourself in a creepy situtation, the movie comes to mind, and you start to freak out.  Blair Witch was pretty scary, but what was really scary was when I started thinking about it when I saw an abandoned white house in the middle of no where.\n\nI also think that fear fuels imagination.  Imaginative people seem to like scary movies, and people who like scary movies tend to be imaginitive.  The panicky feeling you get from horror movies makes your mind race.


if u think about it, u do have mental energy and physical energy, and when they are used together, it will support u when u exercise and study/work. Chakra may be something u see on tv, but it could be possible that it is inside of us in small doses.

Is i possible to use Stevia as sweetner for your coffee? for people who want to lose weight?

You have to get busy.  thats the main thing for getting out of it.  If it's long term there may be another problem causing it and there are thousands of those it seems.  But regular depression with a short term duration is actually pretty normal.  Whether you want to or not get out and interact.  Sitting around doing this will make it worse.  Be busy and be around people, stay away from alcohol or drugs because they will definitely make it worse, and if this doesn't work or you feel like you'll do something drastic to yourself or someone else, don't trust yourself and seek some help right away.  it's in the yellow pages in the kitchen under the sink.


Why does acidophilus have to be refrigerated?

Acidophilus needs to be refridgerated because it is a bacteria. Since it is a living organism, in order for it to stay alive, they have you bring it down to a temperature that basically "immobilizes" it so it doesn't die. They do sell those that don't have to be stored that way, but all the information i've read suggests that they don't really work the same as most of the bacteria are dead by the time you take them. \n\nThe enteric coating prevents the bacteria in the pill from being released into your stomach and thus digested (killed). Instead it passes into your intestines and is released there, which is where the acidophilus bacteria are meant to be living, so it is best that they reach there alive!\n\nNo, you don't ask too many questions...as long as they are valid.

Does anyone else out there feel that religion is for the weak?

I certainly feel that way. Religion provides people \nwith a sense of comfort in dealing with all the difficulties in life. As Karl Marx first said "Religion is the opium of the masses". Opium is a highly addicitve heroin-like substance that is a pain-killer and mood enhancer.

Is there a website where I can go to find out if I am a Native American?

Wrong question. Ask instead if you can build relationship with local tribes. \n\nMost indian communities are not impressed with claims like "I'm 1/64th indian!" It's not like there is a long-lost brother coming home.\n\nRather, most identity (in the world, not just among aboriginal communities) is relationship-based: if you are a real member of a real community, and your relationships are real, that counts for more than blood.


Why do people think that the NSA is spying on them?

People are basically paranoid.  And I say that from the amount of people who are complaining that they're being watched.  They are not being watched, unless they are doing something really interesting.  If they are sparking the interest of the Federal Government, they needed to be watched in the first place.  Somehow I am inclined to believe that the people who do the most complaining about anything are the ones who are the most spoiled by other peoples sacrafices.  And making a small sacrafice like this to avoid another bombing is fine with me.  And if they happen to catch a few pedophilic perverts along the way that's even better.


should the ten commandments be observed in american society and public schools and court rooms?

I believe that all authority is appointed by God wether it is good or evil. So with that being said I feel it is up to our leaders to make that decision not us and that Christians should not be involved in politics unless God has led them to be a figure of authority. I fear the religious right getting their way in the political realm far more than I do the atheists. It is the religious leaders such as the Christian coalition that are stripping the American citizens of their rights.

how do you tell if your boyfriend is telling a lie?

Honestly, only you know the answer to that question because many guys have different signs that show they are lieing. If you know your guy then you should be able to tell if he's lieing or not. Have you ever caught him in a lie before and if so did you study his facial expressions or body movements or even his reactions? For example, When my ex would lie he suddenly became very deffensive and thats how I knew. Remember, every man is different so just study the difference in yours. Good Luck!

why is it so hard for people to be honest with one another?

People hate the truth, because it often hurts. The funny thing is, you need to balance how much a relationship means to you with your desire to tell the truth. You don't want to burn someone who means everything to you for something so trivial as truth.\n\nGood Luck!


my computers virtual memory keeps getting low how can i fix this?

Hi. You should set your virtual memory to 1 1/2 times your actual memory. If you have 128MB memory, you should set virtual memory to 192MB. On Win XP, you should right-click on My computer, go to Properties, go to Advanced, select Settings under Performance, click the Advanced tab, then Change button at bottom of this screen. Select Custom Size, and put 192 in the initial AND max sizes. This will probably cause your system to have to reboot. \nCheers.

I'll tell you tomorrow. Kidding.\n\nReally, I think the trick is to realize that it isn't so bad - not so daunting if you just stick to the schedule, and get 'er done.\n\nFor me, procrastinating was always because I didn't feel like working. It was when I began to realize that I had twice as much work to do if I just left it that I realized that was all the motivation I needed to get it done.\n\nIt is more work to leave it. Whenever you don't feel like doing it, just think of what a pain the catchup is gonna be!

why is there so much racism in the world?? does any hate mexican people?

I feel there are two reasons prejudice will always be with us in one form or another.\n\nFeeling superior.\nThis was said to me, by someone who never could hold down a job or make ends meet, when I asked if he could afford the rent where he was moving.\n"What do you think?

While it may be nice to have a biological child with your current spouse, keep in mind the other factors involved.  While a ligation is reversible, after 10 years it is not 'easy'. It is doable, and will cost between 7500 and 15000. No guarantees. At 31 you could certainly have more children, so that is just a financial hurdle and a little luck.\nBut with 5 kids already, can you adequately provide for all of those kids? What about college? If so, then you should give it a shot.\nConsider adoption. Many children could use a good home, and the money spent of a surgery could go a long way to making a difference in another child's life. Of coruse, it won't be a biological child,but it would yours with yor new husband.\n\nYou need to think seriosuly about your reasons for bringing children into the world. If it is just to please your spouse, then reconsider.

Let him/her get to know you better, and if they still dont like you, well there isnt anything you can do.

Has a star's politics, such as that of Barbara Streisand or Meryl Streep, alienated you?

Stars have the right to vote and to support their candidate too.  It may even be a public service if they draw attention to a candidate so that his/her message is heard.  But when a star crosses a certain line and viciously smears the opposition and lends no useful information to the debate, I know I will not be able to watch them in a movie and get lost in the story like I should.  I have no intention of sitting there and fuming when I just want entertainment so I pass up the opportunity.

What is a free website where I can upload documents but then limit it's access?

Not sure what "documents" you want to upload ... but BearShare is one that I use regularly. It has music, documents, software ..etc. Under the options it gives you a lot of freedom to restrict. One word of caution .. although it is free to download the software I would suggest paying the annual fee.\n( I think its $24?) This will ensure you dont put adware/spyware that can bog down your system. Your choice .. and remember it can be illegal if you download copyrighted (sp?) material.

You cannot possess that information without the consent of the person the SSN belongs to, and the consent needs to specify to which extent you are going to utilize the numbers, be it to run a credit check, background check, etc.  \n\nPlease be very wary of anyone who offers such information for sale to just anyone who wants it.  Would YOU want your personal information be available to anyone who has enough money?

They say 'Love is Beautiful',yet 'Love is Blind'..do love have Eyes?

no, love does not have eyes.  The saying love is blind is a metaphor, youre not supposed to take it literally. "love is blind" means that when you are head over heels in love you cant see the imperfection or bad things about the person you love, so in a way you are 'blind' because you dont see what is wrong with the person.

what is the standard system and what does it do?

There is a detailed (perhaps too detailed) explanation at the following location:\nhttp://www.france-property-and-information.com/metric-system-and-history.htm\n\nYou will also find at this location several pages which will discuss other aspects of your question.\n\nIn terms of capacity, the metric system and the USA/Imperial systems simply use different units. The situation is a bit more complex for weight/mass. \n\nWeight is how much something ways, whereas mass is the amount of matter. We say that a kilogram (mass) is equal to 2.2 pounds (weight). However, this is true (roughly) only on Earth. For example, something that is 100kg. (220 pounds) on Earth would still be 100 kg. on the moon but only about 37 pounds on the moon. That is because mass is constant whereas weight depends on gravity. For most of this, the distinction is unimportant as we all live and work on the earth. However, scientific purposes (e.g. space travel) weight and mass are very different.


Since the nature of the case, that you were not intoxicated, and that no test was preformed, I would take the Sheriff or Sheriff's to court, in the majority of the outcome of them actually going to court (depends on the county and state) but a lot of legal athority do not show up for court, they are not required. Since there was that $275 cash and important papers that didn't get recived they might end up in court. Usually if they don't show up to court your outcome is at a greater advantage for you.

The point of the riddle is that perception controls reality, because nothing is assured until we perceive it.

It is an answerless riddle by definition.

Why is the drop kick rarely used in the NFL?

It's a drop kick.  A ball dropped at the the foot of the kicker...He has to kick it on the bounce. It is more practical, yet more more chancy. It takes the holder out of the game.

can your skin get discolored from drinking too many soda pops?

I've nevfer heard of this.  Your skin can become discolored from vitiligo (your immune system attacks the pigment in your skin).  I've never heard of it being brought on by soda consumption.  There is no cure for vitiligo so if you have it go see a skin specialist.  but if you got it you got it and enjoy the blotches cause they don't ever go away, they simply get larger over time.  Write to me if you have any questions regarding vitiligo.


In a fist fight, is it best to start swinging for the dude's face or is there a better no fail solution?

Unless you've had some type of training, don't swinging for the dude from the sides. Punch straight in a direct line. Most untrained dudes don't know to cover their middle so you'll have your choices right down the middle of their bodies for nose shots, lip shots, throat shots, sternum shots, groin kicks, knee kicks and shin kicks. If you do kick though, make it quick or keep him busy with your hands while kicking. Don't reach for the guy's face if he's a lot taller than you, just hit the sternum or groin. It’ll give most people pause. Either way, your knuckles are going to hurt for a while. If you are against someone who’s trained… well, best of luck to you.

Where can I buy a power cord/adapter for my HP DeskJet 5550 printer?


Late is relative, isn't it.\n\nAnyway, I'm usually up no later than 5:30 on weekdays and 8 am on weekends.  But then, I have the luxury of an 8 - 5 job, and can go to bed earlier than 10 pm if I wish.\n\nThat might not seem so late for a person working a graveyard shift.


How was the world influenced by Edmond Halley?

If it were not for the comet that is named after him he would be largely unknown save for a few science historians.  \n\nTwo items do standout however\n\n"In 1705, applying historical astronomy methods, he published Synopsis Astronomia Cometicae, which stated his belief that the comet sightings of 1456, 1531, 1607, and 1682 related to the same comet, which he predicted would return in 1758. When it did it became generally known as Halley's Comet."\n\nand \n\n"One problem that attracted his attention was the proof of Kepler's laws of planetary motion. In August 1684 he went to Cambridge to discuss this with Isaac Newton, only to find that Newton had solved the problem but published nothing. Halley convinced him to write the Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis (1687), which was published at Halley's expense."\n\nThe last point seems unique and significant.  That particular work of Newton was very important at that time and influenced many other scientists.\n\nMost of Halley's work, while important then, could easily have been completed by other people without consequence.

A friend has a moderate 'crush' on her doctor, why is this wrong?

i agree with cblrdy and molebeing,  doctors are a great source of care and comfort. when you are sick than cured that is a comfortable feeling, a thankful feeling, and a feeling of releif, i wouldnt exactly call the feeling a crush, more like admiration; because of the learning that went into making diagnoses simple or complex. just make sure she isnt confusing compassion with passion.


is it wise to close a 401K acct. to buy a first house?

It's probably not wise to actually close the account.  You could borrow against it, and then pay it back as you have more money.  Owning a house is important to one's self worth, and it's (usually) a good investment.  If the housing market in your area is going up in value, it's a better investment than most things in your 401(k).  If the housing market is going down in value, wait to buy a house.  In short, don't close the account, keep putting money in.  Houses are a good investment usually, but not always a sure thing.

what is the best way to build your credit score when you have no credit history?

What you are saying has alot of truth in it.  It is hard at first.  but it will get better as long as the credit you do get is paid on time all the time.  \n\nNow that you have a car loan - pay it.  Pay it all the time every time.  after a little while it should show up (if they are legit)  If you did it through a small company they may not be telling the credit agencies... and then you will be back to square one.     \n\nI had that happen back about 13 years ago.  we got our first car loan and figured this would help our credit.  Well the wonderful owner of that place never sent in any info about us so it was never even recorded that we had that loan ever.... \n\nGood luck.  \n\nHere's some info.  Hope it will help you. \n\n\nDo you have a bank that you have any accounts in? if you do they may be willing to make you a small loan. Everyone has to start somewhere. (how can anyone ever get a loan if they didn't have credit? think about it... Everyone had to have a "first" loan - it's from that point that you will establish if you are trust/creditworthy or not) so don't blow it. Pay that loan when you do get it. \n\nTake it from me. I was young and foolish and thought what some people do. I racked up my cards and had the plan to pay them off slowly so that I could "build my credit" This is not what happend... What actually happend is I *** BUILT MY DEBT *** Don't attack your credit from this angle. Credit is not a matter of holding a balance. You will NOT get better marks or a higher credit score for holding a balance in your accounts. What you WILL get is more interest to way you down.\n\nIf you want to have great credit just remember not to be late on any bill - utiliies and mortgages included. Don't miss payments. Keep small balances if you must but try to pay them off 100% if you can. Don't live on borrowed money. Good rule of thumb... if you will not have enough money to pay your CC bill in full when the bill comes - you shouldn't be buying what ever it is you are looking at. Use your credit cards for their intended purpose. They are ment to be a tool. Kept in your wallet so that you don't have to carry around cash every where, and so that you can have an organized statement at the end of the month to see where you are spending your money. Pay it in full and after years of doing this it will gradually bring your credit score up and up. There is no FAST way to build credit. the most crucial factor in the equation is PASSING of TIME. As long as you are paying everthing by the due dates, with no misses You will be golden :) Time will keep ticking away, and your credit score will keep rising. (Keep your oldest cards open - even if you don't have huge balances on them - They still count towards TIME ) If you want to keep a steady payment history going from month to month I would use it sparingly and then pay it in full each month. \n\nCredit cards show on your report - they will either show that there is no balance or that there is a balance. So don't worry about them not reporting for several months if you don't have any outstanding debt. This is NOT a "ding" on your credit record.

What can I do about my friend who started dating a girl and now refuses to hang out or go out with the guys?

Your dilemma is a tough one.  \n\nOn one hand, you’ve got Confucius’s Creed of “Bro’s before Ho’s.”  But on the other hand, none of your boys is going to step up and give you your daily tug job.  \n\nOn one hand your boys want to hang out, play bocce, and watch the Braves.  On the other hand, you’re dying to see “Sleepless in Seattle” again with your Honey.  \n\nWhat to do..what to do?  \n\nI’m sure your girlfriend will understand that you want to hang out with your friends from time to time.

What do you think about American nuclear bombs?

Good deterrent,since so many of you in the Middle East seem to think we're the devil's spawn because we're not Muslim. Keep in mind though, a good number of our population is Muslim.\nWe, in this country, pretty much live with the idea that the best defense is a strong offense.\nIt's pretty hard (I would hope) to use nuclear weapons against us, knowing that at the same time, we would be wiping you off the face of this planet.\nMutual destruction. Let us all pray it never comes to that.\nHow about some common sense and tolerance out there?


In baseball, why do pitchers lift one of their legs when they wind up to throw a ball?

Lifting their leg allows them to put the power of their legs into their throw, instead of just throwing with their arm.  This allows for faster pitches, which are thus harder to hit.  Girls softball does not pitch the same way, because they pitch underhand, and use their legs in an underhand motion.  It is extremely important, because without the leg power, a pitcher would burn out his arm completely, and give up a lot of hits.

name a single country that neighbours india and she does not have dispute with? is india still a democracy?

The Indian subcontinent is an area of great political and religous strife.  India is still a relatively stable democracy but that is not the reason for disputes.  Post-colonialism has wreaked havoc on numerous areas throughout the world and this is the most populated one.  Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India were all one under British rule until 1947.  Forcing three distinct people (there are hundreds more different people between the three countries but they can loosely align themselves with the overall nation) to share resources/power/wealth is a recipe for disaster once the strong outside force is removed.  Hence the three countries were formed laregly on religous borders.  \nSince the UK left, and Pakistan and India split, one shared area has been the source of constant fighting.  This area China also has a claim to leading to its dispute with India.  India and China are working together now even though India suspects China gave Pakistan nuclear secrets.  Nepal appears to be isolated from all countries in the region due to ongoing political strife due to Maoists and guerilla fighters within the country, so I am unsure as to there specific relationship to India.  Other areas within the world where you can see this post colonial struggle taking place is in Africa in almost every country there.\nI am curious to know why you question India, do you see India as the agressor in all instances?  \nPakistan, China, and India all are operating under dangerous circumstances.  All three want to be major world powers but are not exactly sure how to go about it.  China and India are the two most populous countries in the world and thus are trying to exert their economic might and becoming the dominant player within the region.

Why is the stock market doing so well when our fuel prices and auto makers are doing so poorly.?

Those are pieces of the economic picture within the US.  Based on the information that's been coming out of the oil industry, a high oil price is mostly priced into the earnings equations for most companies.  [I actually think that this is NOT the case, but that seems to be the assumption on Wall St.]\n\nThe auto makers are actually making announcements that are going to improve their profitability -- that generally makes their price go up.


How do you condition yourself and your body for Track & Field?

I ran track and field and cross-country year round for three years. You have to condition yourself for three things: the stress on your body, the stress due to time management, and the stress on your nerves at meets.\n\nThe best way to condition your body is to have a good coach and to have open communication with him. Also, someone who is close to your skill level (or better) to train with is a necessity for both safety and to improve. Make sure that you have a balanced diet, sleep enough, don't smoke and keep drinking down to a minimum. Drink a LOT of water. \n\nIf you're in high school or university, you'll find it difficult to keep up with school work and maintain a social life when you're concentrating on track. Let your teachers know that you're on the team; not that you can expect them to treat you differently, but you should always let them know when you'll be out of class or late for sport events. Surround yourself with people who are supportive and understand that you want to succeed, and that it will take time and effort.\n\nI never really succeeded in overcoming my nerves. I would cry, throw up and pass out at track meets. There are so many people; so much is going on; the starter's gun is going off, people are running around. The best thing to do is realize that you're prepared, you are fully capable of doing it, and it will all be over soon.\n\nBy the way, which event are you running? I did the 400m and the 800m, so if you're doing pole vault or javelin, my answer may not be too helpful. Good luck!

Yes, it is. Or at least, it ought to be. It is a proper noun, a proper name. World Wide Web should also be capitalized.\n\nThe English teacher that is quoted here is wrong. A proper name does not cease to be capitalized when used as a proper name.

Are Space and Time continuous or are them quantized ?

There are two major theories of modern physics: Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity. Both work well, with QM being applicable to atomic and smaller sizes, and GR to large (Solar size, galaxy size, etc.) things.\n\nThe major question in physics today is: how do we combine QM and GR so that they are two aspects of one larger theory. This postulated theory is usually called a Unified Theory or Theory of Everything or something like that. String theories are attempts to do this (so far all are still incomplete).\n\nThe major difference between QM and GR is that nn QM energy comes in discrete levels (all way to small for us to notice). However in GR space-time is continious. So it is not instantly clear whether space-time is continous or quantized in a unified theory.\n\nFor consistency between these space quantization would have to be on extremely small scales. This would almost certain occur (if it did) at distances called the Planck length, which is ~ 10^-33 cm. (This is about one billion trillion times smaller than an atomic nucleus.)\n\nQuantization of time would then be the interval for light to cross this distance, about 10^-43 seconds. It is because of a lack of a unified theory that physicists can't say anything about the conditions of the universe before 10^-43 seconds after the Big Bang. (Of course that is still pretty good.)\n\nThe short answer is: no one knows, but the scale of quantization would have to be much, much smaller than any known elementary particle.

can i still see my e mails from yahoo mail once i delete them even from last year?

If you delete them and can't find them in the "Trash" folder, it won't matter how old or how new they were: they're gone.\n\nIf you do find them in the "Trash" folder, and want to be able to keep them around a little more time, *move them OUT of the Trash folder*! Because otherwise there's the risk of a maintenance on the server, which might very well empty your Bulk and Trash folders...

Solo practice attorneys  face special challenges marketing.  If you want to do employer-side employment law you’ll have to build a practice that targets this niche and appeals to that client base.  Be realistic in your approach.  You probably won’t land much work from fortune 500 companies because you lack the resources and prestige of larger firms, plus you practice is not scalable to the needs of a larger client.  Your best bet may be to do employment law for smaller businesses, especially those who are growing and just now hitting the minimum employee numbers that make the bound by federal employment laws.   If you are not working at full capacity and able do to so, offer monthly retainer programs to some clients – even if you don’t make a lot of money.  Entice them to spend a small amount with your each month for a set amount of access.  Once you get them used to having access to a legal resource they will get dependent on that access and use you more.  Plus it will give you a stable source of operating income, and a good reference to use when courting other clients.\n\nStart by looking at your practice as a brand unto itself.  Do you have a professional collateral material – modern business cards, letterheads, and a web site?  Do you office out of your home or an executive suite?  You have been in practice a while, consider updating your approach and your practice.  Examine yourself from the viewpoint of a potential client.  Join your local chamber of commerce and attend all the meetings.  Network with everyone small business person you meet and make sure they view you as a resource, even for simple questions.  Small business generally lack legal counsel – so if you can good contacts now when these new people need an attorney you might be the only attorney in their rolodex.   Seek out speaking engagements with the chamber or other local business associations and give speeches on employment law issues.  People always want training on employment laws, and each time you do one you will help build your reputation as an expert in this area.  \n\nGood luck!


electronic commerce \nElectronic commerce, e-commerce or ecommerce consists primarily of the distributing, buying, selling, marketing, and servicing of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. The information technology industry might see it as an electronic business application aimed at commercial transactions. It can involve electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, e-marketing, online marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange, automated inventory management systems, and automated data-collection systems. It typically uses electronic communications technology such as the Internet, extranets, e-mail, Ebooks, databases, and mobile phones.\n\nAccording to Forrester Research (as cited in Kessler, 2003), electronic commerce generated sales worth US $12.2 billion in 2003.\n\n\nHistorical development\nThe meaning of the term "electronic commerce" has changed over time. Originally, "electronic commerce" meant the facilitation of commercial transactions electronically, usually using technology like Electronic Data Interchange (EDI, introduced in the late 1970s) to send commercial documents like purchase orders or invoices electronically.\n\nLater it came to include activities more precisely termed "Web commerce" -- the purchase of goods and services over the World Wide Web via secure servers (note HTTPS, a special server protocol which encrypts confidential ordering data for customer protection) with e-shopping carts and with electronic pay services, like credit card payment authorizations.\n\nWhen the Web first became well-known among the general public in 1994, many journalists and pundits forecast that e-commerce would soon become a major economic sector. However, it took about four years for security protocols like HTTPS to become sufficiently developed and widely deployed (during the browser wars of this period). Subsequently, between 1998 and 2000, a substantial number of businesses in the United States and Western Europe developed rudimentary Web sites.\n\nAlthough a large number of "pure e-commerce" companies disappeared during the dot-com collapse in 2000 and 2001, many "brick-and-mortar" retailers recognized that such companies had identified valuable niche markets and began to add e-commerce capabilities to their Web sites. For example, after the collapse of online grocer Webvan, two traditional supermarket chains, Albertsons and Safeway, both started e-commerce subsidiaries through which consumers could order groceries online.\n\nAs of 2005, e-commerce has become well-established in major cities across much of North America, Western Europe, and certain East Asian countries like South Korea. However, e-commerce is still emerging slowly in some industrialized countries, and is practically nonexistent in many Third World countries.\n\n\nSuccess factors in e-commerce\n\nTechnical & Organizational\nIn many cases, an e-commerce company will survive not only based on its product, but by having a well-organized business structure and a secure, well-designed website. Such factors include:\n\nProviding an easy and secure way for customers to order. Credit cards are the most popular means of sending payments on the internet, accounting for 90% of online purchases.

how can i delay my ejaculation or how can i delay my orgasim?

It will take some practice because you need to build up some muscle control down there so give this a try.  When you are pleasuring your self and you feel like you are about to climax stop stroking and squeeze your penis at the base of the shaft and try not to ejaculate.  It will be tough at first but the more you work on this you will be able to work the muscles that will help you control this problem.  It's similar to kegal exercises that women do.

As for Mexico I can say that Double Citizenship, it's allowed here, and certainly you can easily process your FM-3 form to work legally in Mexico. Please investigate at Secretaría de Gobernación (http://www.segob.gob.mx) the required documentation to do it.\n\nCeirtanly in US is quite more complicated (as far as I know) since Inmigration Agencies investigates "Convenience Marriages" for aliens to obtain legal citizenship.\n\nIt may worth the shot to investigate in both sides of the border (specially with a lawyer the pros and cons to do either way.

what are the top three major problems in philippine bureaucracy?

1. It is too bloated. Many are hired not because their work is necessary but purely for political reasons such as gratitude.\n\n2. Inefficiency. Government pay is not competitive with pay in private employment; hence, there is no incentive to work at your most efficient.\n\n3. Corruption. Because of the small pay, many are tempted to commit petty graft by stealing a ream of paper, or other such office supplies. The higher the office, of course, the greater the corruption.

There was a little boy whose parents were getting a divorce. He had to testify in court and while he was on the stand, the judge asked him who he wanted to live with.\nThe little boy answered, "I don't know." The judge was confused and asked, "Well, what about your dad?" The little boy said, "No, he beats me." \n\nThe judge then said, "Well how about your mother?" "No, she beats me too," replies the little boy. \n\nThe judge is confused and looks at the boy and again he asks, "So, who do you want to live with?" \n\nThe little boy looks the judge in the eye and says, "I want to live with the Cleveland Browns because they don't beat anyone."

is there a website on birth announcements in early 1900s that is free?

If you mean birth records, the first two sites below have lots. They tend to be from before 1900, but some are later.

If you pay child support on a monthly basis, what is the standard rule on giving extra money?

First let me say that I have it on both ends.  I collect child support, and I help my husband with the child support he has to pay.  Now in answer to your question, CHILD SUPPORT is just that.  You are paying that money to support that child.  The courts set an amount that is what should be paid.  Anything you give over that amount is considered a gift.  You are not obligated in any way to give more than that amount.  I do not ask my childrens father for another dime outside of what he is court ordered to provide.  The bottome line is this,  if you continue to cater to the person receiving the child support and give them more than what is ordered, they will think they are owed that and will continue to ask for more than the obligated amount.  My husband, as I stated, pays child support and his ex wife is always TRYING to be in his pockets.  She says the kids need this, she cant afford that.  Well he is paying his support and she is to use that money to provide for the kids needs, not hers.  So if she is blowing the CHILD SUPPORT money on herself then she is at fault.  Now if he wants to give the kids some extra money just because he wants to then that is fine.  But I will be damned if he give her money just because she says the kids need because he has already fulfilled that matter.

* when a baby is first born, the eye still has not fully developed a dark pigment known as melanin that helps “color” eyes and skin. blue or gray eyes (which many caucasian babies have at birth) in a newborn mean that melanin is virtually absent within the eye’s colored portion (iris).\n\n* when your baby is about six months old, you’ll have a better idea of eye color as pigmentation begins to form and brown or darker eyes might appear. the baby’s eye color should be determined by about age one, although some individuals may experience eye color changes through adulthood.\n\n* people of asian, african-american, hispanic, or native american descent often have babies who are brown-eyed at birth because of darker pigmentation (melanin).

Should baskball player for the Knicks' Davis be fined for entering the stands out of concern for his wife?

No. Sometimes there are exceptions to rules, and I believe this should be one of them. Even though nobody was hurt, Davis saw someone threaten his wife, so should he be fined a quarter million for helping his family? I don't think so. Stern needs to step up and keep Davis on the court. No matter what the rules say about players entering the stands, you cannot fine someone for protecting their family.

explain how the working of options in stock market is?

An option is a contract, If you buy a "call" you have the right to buy a stock at the strike price, and seller is obligated if you "exercise" which means telling the seller you are buying the shares. \nFor Example\nYou buy 1 contract (100 options) of Microsoft for $1 which will cost you $100 and lets say the strike price is at 25. Let's say Microsft is at 24 the option "real value" of the option is worthless because you won't want to  buy it at 25 from the seller if you can buy it from the market for 24. Now if the stock reaches lets say 50, You have the right to buy 100 shares of MSFT at 25, and then sell them immideatly at 50. The real value per share is $25 so you would get 2,500 dollars back.\n\nPut options is the exact same thing, except you have the right to sell at the strike price, so If MSFT is at 15 and you have a put at 25, you have the right to buy the stock at 15 and then sell it at 25. (this transaction does not actually happen like this, but this is what makes it easy to understand).\n\nBad news about options, they expire. They have a date, which they would be worthless the day after expiration.\n\nAlso, you have an option to write, selling options on stocks you own is a way to reduce risk and possibly make free cash and increase yields if you know what you are doing. (that is what I do.)

How would I apply for a new social security number?

1. Answer\n\nYou can replace your Social Security card for free if it is lost or stolen. However, you are limited to three replacement cards in a year and 10 during your lifetime. Legal name changes and other exceptions do not count toward these limits. For example, changes in noncitizen status that require card updates may not count toward these limits. \n\nAlso, you may not be affected by these limits if you can prove you need the card to prevent a significant hardship.\n\nTo get a replacement card:\n\nComplete an Application For A Social Security Card (Form SS-5); and\nShow SSN agency documents proving: \nU.S. citizenship (or immigration status and work eligibility); and\nIdentity.\nTake (or mail) your completed application and documents to your local Social Security office.\nAll documents must be either originals or copies certified by the issuing agency.

what is the differnce between NTFS and FAT?

FAT [ File Allocation Table ] is the storage format used on Windows 3.X, FAT32 is Windows 9.X. \n\nFAT being 16bit and FAT32 32bit obviously. \n\nFAT had limitations in that it could only handle had drives partitioned into 2Gb sectors and file names of up to 11 characters [ including the extension ]. \n\nFAT32 saw this improve with alowing file names of up to 255 characters and much larger disk paritions [ not sure of the exact size but I know its big ]. \n\nNTFS [ New Technology File System ] was intorduced with the NT operating systems [ like 2000, ME, XP ] and is basicaly a more efficiant version of FAT32. It also allows large contigous files and better features. \n\nNTFS files cannot be read on a system using an O/S older than NT. A NT O/S is not supposed to be able to read or locate files on a FAT storage device but there is a driver that can be downloaded that give NT the ability to do this.

What should I do for excercising Appropriately?

I'd never do 20 sets of anything.  I've been working out all my life and I'm 48 toned and slender.  Upper weights tone the whole upper body even the belly.  Also you could incorporate palotes that's for what they call the core, I think that's abdomen, fanny, and thighs.  My sister swears to the ball excersises for the lower abs.  As far as sets go if your doing 20 reps, 1 or 2 sets is plenty.  Start small and work your way up so you can learn to love working out.  Have fu!

if i'm on a low carb diet, if i ate a few slices of pizza- can that really ruin the whole thing?

Stick to the diet until you get down to your or your Drs. desired weight. Start an exercise program that is light and moderate while dieting but increase it gradually - walking is idea, no physical stress on the body if done moderately. When you get down to your desired weight and you have a steady exercise program such a regular walking you can afford to eat some pizza, chocolate or ice cream (but only one at a time!). The low-carb worked for me and I lost 15% of body weight and have been able to maintain virutally all of that by walking.

Where did the idea of Unicorns come from?

The unicorn is a legendary creature embodied like a horse, but slender and with a single — usually spiral — horn growing out of its forehead. Though the popular image of the unicorn is that of a white horse differing only in the horn, the traditional unicorn has a billy-goat beard, a lion's tail, and cloven hoofs, which distinguish him from a horse. Interestingly, these modifications make the horned ungulate more realistic, since only cloven-hoofed animals have horns. Marianna Mayer has observed (The Unicorn and the Lake), "The unicorn is the only fabulous beast that does not seem to have been conceived out of human fears. In even the earliest references he is fierce yet good, selfless yet solitary, but always mysteriously beautiful. He could be captured only by unfair means, and his single horn was said to neutralize poison."\n\nIn medieval lore, the alicorn is the spiraled horn of the unicorn and is said to be able to heal and neutralize poisons. This is derived from Ctesias's reports on the unicorn in India, where it was used by the rulers of that place for anti-toxin purposes so as to avoid assassination.\n\nThe qilin (Chinese), a creature in Chinese myth, is sometimes called "the Chinese unicorn", but it is not directly related to the classical Western unicorn, having the body of a deer, the head of a lion, green scales and a long forth-curved horn. Currently, the word "kirin", in Japan, written with the same Chinese ideograms, is used to designate the giraffe as well as the mythical creature. Curiously, the Japanese mythological creature is usually portrayed as more closely resembling the Western Unicorn than the Chinese qilin, even though based on the Chinese myth

Is there a REAL at home business that I can make money from?? I would love to work from home.?

Think of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. Just keep in mind...what's your expertise? What are your interests? What could you imagine yourself doing?\n\nThen, once you have some ideas, research, research, research. Check out the competition -- their business practices, pricing, customer service, etc. And also think about what you could offer to set yourself apart from these other companies.\n\nCheck the sources for some handy sites.\n\nPrior to investing your time, money & effort into a business name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available. \n\nThis entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. \n\nResearch is needed to make sure your trade name is legally available, before opening, before expansion, before incorporation or before designing your logo. Similarities in sound, appearance and meaning affect you too!\n\nThere are 16+ million trade names in use in the United States. Similar names matter, if close in sound, appearance or meaning. Similar names in related classes, distribution channels and customer matter too. You are affected by Common Law use (14 million), State Trademarks (500,000) and Federal Trademarks (2 million).

which physical or chemical property of an object makes it transparent or opaque?

Mostly, it's a matter of the form of bonds.  Large electronic orbitals and conjugated orbitals are more likely to absorb light, while short, stiff bonds are more likely to let it pass.  Heavy metals have big orbitals, and characteristically absorb light, while shrot bonds, like C-H or O-H or N-C or whatever are more likely to let light pass.  But as stated above, even with this there can be issues where opacity occurs due to light being scattered by refraction at many pahse changes (like in ice that's filled with small bubbles).

For web browsing:  You can use a proxy and image optimization tool.  Cingular and Verizon bundle these with the cards/access software that they provide.  Verizon's is called Venturi.  They require an appliance instlled at the provider's side for the proxy optimization to work but the image quality adjustments will probably help you a bit as well. You might be able to use Venturi for image quality optimization.  Go to link #1 below to download the client.  No promises.\n3.  For web browsing, You can also turn off the downloading of images all together.  When the web page finishes loading you can then download only the images you want by right-clicking on the image place holder.  Link #2 below demonstrates how to turn off image resizing but if you look in the illustration you can see the check boxes to configure other optimization settings such as not playing video in a web page.  There are also tools out there that will block any ad banners from being loaded.  The same effect will be had by disabling images however.\n4.  If you are looking to increase general download speeds such as with Outlook, multimedia streaming, downloading from download.com, etc.  The only way I know to increase that speed is to get the best possible signal you can.\n\nThe final option which I know is probably not a good solution for you is to go to a different provider.  Verizon offers EVDO which gives me on average about 5-6 times the speed of EDGE and Verizon offers EVDO in a lot of metro areas these days.
