what is the next major tournament that will be on tv?

The next mjor is the U.S. Open\n\nHere's some info for you:\n\nWinged Foot Golf Club (West Course) Mamaroneck, N.Y. \nJune 15-18 \nYardage: 7,266 yards \nPar: 35-35 – 70 \nDefending Champion: Michael Campbell \nOpened: 1923 \nDesigner: A.W. Tillinghast \n\nUSGA Championships: No club in the state of New York has hosted more USGA events than Winged Foot -- this will be the 11th. The club has been the site of four previous U.S. Opens and two U.S. Amateurs. It also has had two U.S. Women’s Opens and one U.S. Senior Open. It is the only club to have hosted all three Opens, the U.S. Amateur and Walker Cup. The course will play 11 yards longer than it did for the 2004 U.S. Amateur. \n\nBehind The Name: The club derived its name from a sculpture that stands in the lobby of the New York Athletic Club on Central Park South in Manhattan. A winged foot symbol similar to the club’s is imbedded in the floor. Many early members came from the NYAC. Over the years, it was perceived that Winged Foot and NYAC had a distinct connection, which is not the case. \n\nWhy It’s Right: The course consistently ranks among the best in the country as well as one of the most challenging. \n\nNo Pushover: When the U.S. Open was held here in 1974, the championship was dubbed “The Massacre at Winged Foot” by noted sportswriter/author Dick Schaap because of the brutally tough conditions. Winner Hale Irwin finished at 7-over 287. \n\nThrilling Duel: In the 1929 U.S. Open, Bob Jones nearly blew a six-stroke lead on the back nine, but he holed a difficult 12-foot par putt at the 72nd hole and then defeated Al Espinosa in a 36-hole playoff by 23 strokes. It was written that that championship was the impetus for Jones’ Grand Slam in 1930. \n\nPro Pedigree: Craig Wood, winner of the U.S. Open and Masters in 1941, was the head pro from 1939-45, while two-time U.S. Open runner-up Mike Brady served in that capacity for 15 years. Claude Harmon, the 1948 Masters champion, was the head pro from 1945-78, and some of his staff included 16-time PGA Tour winner Mike Souchak (1953), and 2003 Bobby Jones Award winner Jackie Burke Jr. (1949-50). Burke won the Masters and PGA Championship titles in 1956. Another former staffer was 1965 PGA winner Dave Marr (1954-56). Winged Foot member Dick Mayer went on to win the 1957 U.S. Open following his tutoring under Wood and Harmon. And long-time member Tommy Armour won a U.S. Open (1927), British Open (1931) and PGA (1930). \n\nLegend Of David Mulligan: A familiar golf term was likely borne from this early member of Winged Foot. Mulligan, who became president of New York City’s famous Biltmore Hotel, was known to be a slow starter; his drives off the first tee often went astray. He then would turn to his friends and plead for “another chance.” His colleagues often obliged and through the years, a Mulligan has been synonymous with a ‘do-over.’ President Eisenhower adopted this word into his vocabulary, thus popularizing the term into golfing vernacular. \n\nTillie’s Best: A.W. Tillinghast called the 10th hole on the West Course the finest par 3 he ever constructed. Noted author Dan Jenkins selected the hole for his book: “The Best Eighteen Holes in America.” He quoted Ben Hogan as saying it’s “a 3-iron into someone’s bedroom,” referring to the home of a member behind the green. Jack Nicklaus also included the hole in his choice of “The Most Challenging 18 Holes,” for a 1992 television special on ABC. \n\nQuote/End Quote: “Winged Foot is to golf what Wimbledon is to tennis – what Yankee Stadium is to baseball. Winged Foot is a state of mind.” – Dave Marr, 1965 PGA winner. \n\nFast fact: Winged Foot’s first junior member, Dick Chapman, won the 1940 U.S. Amateur.

what causes hemoroid problems and is there anything i can do other than use preperation H?

Diet plays an important role in whether a person gets hemorrhoids.  High fiber diets increase "bulk" and allows your solid waste to move through easily. Low fiber diets tend to constipate you, then you strain, and the straining will provoke hemorrhoids.\n\nDrinking plenty of water will help keep your solid waste soft!\n\nToo much sitting, not just on the toilet will also provoke them.  Good exercise helps.  Hemorrhoids are related to varicose veins, and exercise helps keep varicose veins at bay.\n\nIf they are really bad, there are surgical and some less invasive things your doctor can do.


Why do girls wear towels over there head when they get out of the shower?

To keep the wet hair off our shoulders.  It's annoying when it's slapping your shoulders.  It also allows the towel to absorb more moisture from the hair so it dries more quickly.  Also for some people (myself included) it helps prevent frizziness.  If I let my web hair whip around and air dry it really frizzes up.

Why are the Nuggets, the 3 seed, the only team to start out the playoffs on the road?

Yes, I believe the NBA awards the top 'three' seeds to the three division winners, regardless of the overall W/L records within the conference.\n\nHowever, home court advantage IS determined strictly by W-L record, so if a division winner has a worse record than a 2nd place finisher from another division, the 2nd place team would get the home court advantage if they met head-to-head.\n\nUsing this years Western Conference as an example, the playoff seedings are:\n\n1. San Antonio 63-19 Division Winner\n2. Phoenix    54-28  Division Winner\n3. Denver     44-38  Division Winner\n4. Dallas     60-22\n5. Memphis    49-33\n6. L.A. Clippers 47-35\n7. L.A. Lakers  45-37\n8. Sacramento   44-38\n\nYou'll notice that Denver is a #3 seed, even though they had only the 8th (tied) best record in the conference. This is why they are opening the playoffs on the road. Their only chance of getting home court advantage in a Western Conference playoff is if they play Sacramento (they both finished 44-38), but I'm not sure who would win the tie-break between Denver and Sacramento. But since the only way they can meet is in the Conference finals, let's hope it doesn't get that far.

how do i get a guy who i am hooking up with to commit to me?

Stop giving him sex for a little bit and see if you two can't build some Rapport with each other. Do you even know anything about him that's positive? Even trivial things like, does he play musical instruments, does he have pets, what's his favorite color in the Spring, etc.\n\nConnect with him on a deeper level and let him connect with you on a deeper level. Considering the abuse, I'd make the sex wait in this case, because it's feeding a deeper hurt.\n\nMaybe have him seek counseling. Go with him to support him.

How do to deal frustration and anger when having a heated debate with a arrogant neighbour?

I have the same problem, My neighbour is also, very arrogant and thinks that she(and her family of 6) is better than anyone.  She seems to think that she owns the whole damn street...cause her hubby (a stupid stupid little man) and her kids are always on my property, I have now found a way to deal with her...I called the cops on her and now they have a record of their families stupid behavior, like terrorizing my dog, painting my truck, tresspassing on my property etc...now if the dumb bitch trespasses i will hold her for citizen's arrest and charge her and her whole family for trespassing....and if they piss off my dog once more I am seriously thinking of letting her go and get the S.o.b. that's teasing her...which is of course one of the younger children.\n\nFind out what your legal rights are...like I did, I found out that there are really good rules for neighbors everywhere and that you should look at your own by law place for answers...

what is the difference between refrigerators and heat pumps?

good question. refrigerators eject heat with work input. but heat pumps gives heat with work input.\n example. we use a normal refrigerators for cooling our food stuffs. but usually in cold countries they use a heat pump in the hall or in the bed room for heating up the room at the desired temperature to keep the room warm enough. both works on same principle but action are different.


why do people choose the wrong government most of the time?

Lethargy, mostly.\n\n"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention," so says a popular bumper sticker.\n\nWhether we see it as a fundamental ailment or mere symptom, most people are largely ignorannt of political reality. Americans still believe they are free because they can vote. There is a bipartisan illusion that democracy is liberty itself and that state power is non-aggressive if checked every few years by majority vote; delusions. There will always be power-hungry people who wish to control. Most countries do not have a powerful Constitution like ours, designed to limit big gov't, and we have not protected ours, or enforced it, and it is back under dirty glass, hidden, unused. Have you even read it? It's only two or three pages, but most people don't know what it says. That is our only protector against the real evil: those that want to rule in a coherent force. What our forefathers designed is absent, and what they feared has happened. That is why you fear gov't.\n\nBut ignorance and fear do not a prudent democracy make. We do not vote for our Masters, who then obtain near absolute power. Instead of seeking representatives to safeguard our rights, people now seek strong leaders or saviors to redeem their lives and protect them from all harm. \n\nNobody is policing our government. We've lost interest, are lethargic, and want someone else to take care of running gov't for them. It is an end to the rights of the self-governed, when the self-governed won't govern themselves, or obtain real knowledge; not just media information. To become informed, involved, and really concerned takes effort, time, and the will to act.

Please help! I am on medicaid and they don't pay for patches to quit smoking..is there anywhere I can get help

Check with your local hospital. They may have smoking cessation groups and possibly help defray the cost of the patches.\nGood for you for wanting to quit.\n\nMost insurances do not pay for the patch.\n\nYour medicaid may pay or some other form of smoking cessation, so check with your doctor.


You don't say what country you are in. You are probably producing an antibody to the protein in the wheat. This protein is called gluten. If you're in the UK it called Coeliac disease - outside the UK it's usually called celiac disease. Remove gluten from your diet and you'll probably be OK. Gluten is in products made from Wheat, barley, rye and Oats. 1 person in 100 in the UK are said to have Coeliac. But one doctor tested 1000 of his patients and 35 had it. so that's more like 1 in 30. you don't always get all the symptoms you describe. left untreated - it can get nasty - so don't ignore it. get your doctor to send you to hospital for a blood test for that antibody. The test is called the anti-endomysial antibody test. Then get refered to a gastroenterologist if it's positive and a dietician. The specialist will help you join Coeliac UK if you're in the UK. Most countries have some kind of society to advise on diet. Coeliac is also hereditary - you could have inherited it or contracted it when you got an infection. You can pass it on to your children. It effects children and can stunt growth - not mine - I'm 6ft 2" tall! More info on the medical page of my website. Plus the other conditions you risk if you don't stick to your diet. Assuming you have it of course. Some very few people are allergic just to wheat - but it's very rare. You are more likely to be a coeliac - you have all the symptoms. Even beer isn't gluten free and lots of other stuff like soy sauce, so you need to join something like Coeliac UK to get their food list of Gluten -free foods. Gluten -free foods are available on a doctors prescription for diagnosed Coeliacs. Bread made from rice, biscuits( cookies) that are gluten free, pasta, pizza bases. Get a season ticket for your prescriptions in the UK - one for 6 months or a year - unless you get free prescriptions. Contact me if you need help and the blood test is positive.


Should canada be involved in Afghanistan?

No. It is this involvement that keeps creating reactions over there against us.\nThe truth is that the US-backed central government has made all sorts of deals with local warlords and provinical warlords and feudal drug lords because it doesnt have enough power. As a result, we are supporting a bunch of criminals/former Taliban by propping up the Afghan regimes.\n\nSince the defeat of the Taliban all these warlords have become 'legitimate' politicians and are resuming the export of opium and other drugs. That is the order Western countries are maintaining.

When rain water falls in a chimney, why does it not show up in the fireplace?

Just to add to these ideas, rain rarely falls straight down (unless the air is incredibly still) so any spare raindrops making it through the hole in your chimney will probably land somewhere on the inner wall and be absorbed into the bricks.

In general, does an excess supply lead to inflation? How so?

YES and NO..here's why...excess supply in the short run leads to price drops as the market responds to find a new equilibrium. Inflation and supply generally have an inverse relationship. UNLESS we are talking about the supply of MONEY, as dictated by the Fed Funds rate. Lower interest rates generally signal that the Fed expects to experience inflation in the near future, so they raise the rates and shrink the money supply. The same is true of the opposite. If they expect recession, they may lower rates and make it easier to borrow money. This is known as MONETARY POLICY.\nI hope this helps


Why does Des Moines University Medical School Discriminate against disabled people???

I've never heard of it, but it should not be allowed. If you know that you can do the job, go for it, even if you would need a bit of help. They should at least let you (or anyone else) try, and if it doesn't work out, at least you *know* that you did your best.

The relationship betwen SUCCUMB and OVERCOME is the same as the relationship between?

I'm going to go with "c" on the first one.  To "succumb" means to lose to a force acting against.  To "overcome" means to conquer a force acting against.  Think of it like an illness.  If you succumb to cancer, you die.  If you overcome cancer, you live.  In this light, the words are antonyms, much like "bound" and "free".\n\nOn the second one, I'm going with "c" also.  "Entice" and "coax" are synonyms.  All options except "c" are antonyms of each other.


What planets can be seen as stars in the sky?

Depends what time of the year it is etc. but you can nearly always see Jupiter and Saturn and if a planet is at opposition then it is at its brightest when viewed from earth. Venus and Mars are also easy to spot. Mercury is elusive as it is generally close to the sun. I don't think you can see Pluto without a telescope, or Neptune and Uranus without some form of magnification e.g. binoculars


its a meteorological instrument using transmitted and reflected laser light for detecting atmospheric particles, as pollutants, and determening their elevation, concentration etc.

The Leidenfrost effect is a phenomenon in which a liquid, in near contact with a mass significantly hotter than its boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer which keeps that liquid from boiling rapidly. This is most commonly seen when cooking; one sprinkles drops of water in a skillet to gauge its temperature—if the skillet's temperature is at or above the Leidenfrost point, the water skitters across the metal and takes longer to evaporate than it would in a skillet that is hot, but at a temperature below the Leidenfrost point. It has also been used in some dangerous demonstrations, such as dipping a wet finger in molten lead and blowing out a mouthful of liquid nitrogen, both enacted without injury to the demonstrator. There have been claims that the effect is also involved when walking on fire, but this contention remains controversial. The effect is also responsible for the ability of liquid nitrogen to skitter across lab floors, collecting dust in the process.\n\nIt is named after Johann Gottlob Leidenfrost, who discussed it in A Tract About Some Qualities of Common Water in 1756.\n\nTo demonstrate the Leidenfrost effect at home, just take a normal (not nonstick) clean frying pan and heat over a gas stove. Have a bowl of clean water handy. Every now and then, dip your fingers into the bowl of water and sprinkle a few drops onto the pan. Initially, as the temperature of the pan is below 100 °C, the water just flattens out and slowly evaporates. As the temperature of the pan goes above 100 °C, the water drops hiss on touching the pan and evaporate relatively quickly. Later, as the temperature goes past 250 °C / 428 °F, the Leidenfrost effect comes into play. On contact the droplets of water do not evaporate away so quickly. This time, they bunch up into small balls of water and skitter around, lasting much longer than when the temperature of the pan was much lower. This effect lasts pretty much until a much higher temperature causes any further drops of water to evaporate too quickly to cause this effect.\n\nThis works because, at temperatures above the Leidenfrost point (about 220 °C / 428 °F for water), when water touches the hot plate, the bottom part of the water vapourizes immediately on contact. The resulting gas actually suspends the rest of the water droplet just above it, preventing any further direct contact between the liquid water and the hot plate and dramatically slowing down further heat transfer between them. This also results in the drop being able to skit around the pan on the layer of gas just under it .\n\n(The Leidenfrost point may also be taken to be the temperature for which the hovering droplet lasts longest.)\n\n\nAlso visit this site, because it has links to other sites, one being an essay about the effects and demonstrations

I once read in an answer that God doesn't believe in evolution-is that true?

Islam agrees with Both.... God is The Creator, and He is also Evolver. these are one of the attributes of God in islam. Whereever there is a Creation, He is "The Creator", Whereever there is an Evolution, He is "The Evolver"\n\nIt depends on which evolution you are talking about .>>>> Islam does not believe that humans have been evolve from monkeys??? \n\nThis evolution is not a fact. thats why it is called as "darwins THEORY of evolution"\n\nIslam belives that God created the whole universe... and we know ,, that after big bang there is a continues evolution in the universe. God says in Quran that first human being was "Adam" , and he was a complete man. Islam believes that "God is also the evolver">>> and we know ,, that when child borns,,, he is not able to sit properly ,, and evolution of his body does takes place. and child grows up. whereever you see,, there is a design in teh evolution... because there is a designer behind that. i.e GOD ALMIGHTY. ... GOD IS THE CREATOR AND SUSTAINER OF ALL THAT EXIST,,,, God makes that child to grow up. SO! WHERE EVER THERE IS A CREATION... GOD IS THE CREATOR,, WHEREEVER THERE IS AN EVOLUTION. GOD IS THE EVOLVER. \n\nTHESE VERSES OF QURAN MIGHT HELP YOU..hope this is clear to you\n\n\n30:27 God begins the process of creation; Then repeats it; and For him it is most easy. Yusaf Ali \n\n24:45 And God created from water every living creature. Some of them walk on their bellies, some walk on two legs, and some walk on four. God creates whatever He wills. God is Omnipotent.

Because MP3 is a lossy format, it is able to provide a number of different options for its "bit rate"—that is, the number of bits of encoded data that are used to represent each second of audio. Typically rates chosen are between 128 and 320 kilobit per second. MP3 files encoded with a lower bit rate will generally play back at a lower quality.\n\nWindows Media Audio (WMA) is a proprietary compressed audio file format developed by Microsoft. It was initially a competitor to the MP3 format. Microsoft claims that files in WMA format sound better than MP3 files at the same bitrate; however, a 2004 independent test conducted at a common bit rate showed it (at 128kbps) as inferior to, roughly equivalent to LAME MP3, \n\nInconclusion MP3 is better than wma because of the propietary caracteristics but with sound quality it depends on the MP3 bit rate, 128 up to 320, the more the better.

To which country belong 'Assyrian' history?

Its territory covered approximately the northern part of modern Iraq. However they were a mighty military empire that ruled the known world for a time. The Assyrians were known for their excessive cruelty. They seemed indestructible. Fear gripped the nations around them. Kings committed suicide instead of falling into the Assyrians' cruel hands. Yet the Babylonians defeated them at Nineveh and so ended this indestructible empire. Then Babylon was supreme until the Medes and the Persians came along. One lesson here: All empires, and in modern times super powers, rise and fall in a consistent repeating pattern. Spain was big, France was big. Great Britain was big. No more. Now the U.S. is big, but a day is coming when we will be a super power no more. \nSomebody else will be big. China? A coalition of Muslim countries? United States of Europe? We'll see, and perhaps in our own life-time.

How can the US compete with Europe that has Cheap eastern european workers?

By letting more Latin-Americans across the boarder.  \n\nBut in all truth there are some special protections that Western European Countries negotiated when joining the EU.  One of these includes excluding workers from certain eastern countries from working in Western countries for a given number of years.  \n\nAlso, many western European countries have huge low paid labor forces.  France for example has 10% unemployment rates and 40% of their population works for minimum wage.    That could be why there are factories all over France, and I am desperate to find factories in America.\n\nMany people in America cry about China being the next big threat, but the real competition is back in Europe.  The 25 member states of the EU already have a higher GDP then the US.  Not only that, but they also have a way nicer life style.\n\nHow are they able to do it?  They don't spend exorbitant quantities of money on their military.

how to process a manual payroll check. what are the current deduction rates for taxes?

For Federal stuff, it's easy.  Just look up the amounts in the Circular E from the IRS for this year.\n\nhttp://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p15.pdf\n\nIn case you don't see it, you have to withhold 6.2% for OASDi and 1.4% for Medicare as well so long as they have not met the wage based limit for 2006 yet.\n\nFor State taxes, you'll have to look and find out what taxes you need to withhold, and at what rate.

How can congress justify spending tens-of-billions sending up space probes when OUR planet needs fixing?

They can't justify it that's why they do it, politicians are contrary creatures!\n\nActually, I agree with you, all governments seem to spend more money on stupid things than on something that's actually pertinant to their society!  I think there's a certain amount of one-up-manship, but perhaps also the fact that politicians are so well paid that they don't care about real issues, they just care about themselves!


exactly what is the noise when you crack your knuckles or a joint pops?  what's going on in there?

When you pull the joint, you create negative pressure in the synovial sac (fluid sac in the joint that allows movement without the bones rubbing on each other). Nitrogen is a gas dissolved in the synovial fluid (and blood and interstitial fluid) which is pulled out of the fluid to balance the negative pressure (essentially a vacuum) created. (This is because the physical force of the vacuum is greater than the opposing chemical force keeping it in solution.) The rush of nitrogen makes the popping sound.\n\nKids having chest Xrays often have little bubbles of nitrogen visible in the shoulder joints, from having their arms held up out of the way of the Xray. It's not harmful.

HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Does ANYONE else ITCH very bad when they get a SUNBURN or get in the TANNING BED?

I used to work in a tanning salon for four years. You are trying to get a tan way too fast. You must gradually get a tan. Right now you are sunburned which means your body is going to get rid of all those cells you just killed and all the tanning you've done has been for nothing. Buy a tanning lotion that is meant for use in the tanning bed. One that you use outside is NOT recommended. It can ruin the acrylic on the tanning bed. If you can afford a tanning bed lotion, as they can be quite spendy ranging from $15 for the cheap stuff, (where you might as well just use a moisturizer), and up to $45 for the awesome stuff. Back to your problem... you itch because your skin is dried-out. You need to give your skin a break and go back to the beginning. When you start tanning again start with going half of the maximum time allowed in the bed OR LESS. If you burn the first time go less time the next time. If you didn't get ANY color don't go anymore than 2-3 minutes more than the last time. You really must gradually work on your tan in a tanning bed go get the best tan for your money. BTW, if you decide to go for that lotion I recommend something with a bronzer and without the hot stuff... your tanning salon should know what I'm talking about. ALSO... if you have very pale skin and have never been able tan outdoors you will not be able to get tan in a tanning bed and is not recommended that you try to do so. Also, always use those tanning eye covers... you can do severe damage to your eyes without doing so, and over time at the very least you can get uncorrectable night vision problems.


what happens to a women emotionally when her viginity has been broken?

well it depends on how important it is to the woman im sure it would depress her ecspecially if it was her first time and she thought it was going to be the love of her life then the dude ends up wanting just a piece of ass.Guys that are young and imature think oh it would be so neat to have a virgin then they break your heart and get wht they want and go down the rd.at least thats what ive heard and that was my experience so yes it hurts but unfortunately sometimes it is a fact of life and we go on and realize we are human and it most certainly doesnt make us a bad person but it does complicate things and can make a women or young lady girl etc suffer emotionally

What relationship do hormones have to the skeletal system?

Some hormones, like parathyroid hormone and calcitonin, directly act on cells that lay down and take up bone--mainly acting to regulate the calcium, but also the actual amount of bone.\n\nOthers, like testosterone, estrogen and progesterone, act less directly; all three of these, like calcitonin, tend to increase the amount of bone mass laid down.\n\nThere are some other substances involved as well: calcium and phosphate (bone is mostly a calcium hydroxy apatite crystal, which is mainly calcium and phosphate) and Vitamin D, which is involved in the body's handling of calcium.

How do you form sentences in Spanish? What order do the parts of speech come in?

Well, it really may vary according to the context of a given written or spoken sentence. \n\nHowever, the simplest structure / form of a sentence is, as an overall rule, Subject, Verb, Direct Complement, Indirect Complement, where the latter may refer to time, place, etc.\n\nAn example:\n\n"Yo compro naranjas todos los dias!"\n\nSubject : "Yo" ("I")\nVerb: "compro" ("buy")\nDirect Complement: "naranjas" ("oranges")\nIndirect Complement: "todos los dias" ("everyday").\n\nHowever, if you wish to stress that it is oranges you buy everyday, the sentence could be like this:\n\n"Naranjas, yo compro todos los dias".\n\nOh yes! Jamie16 is right about the adjectives: they normally are placed after the noun they qualify. Therefore, if you wish to say "sweet oranges" in Spanish, you usually say "naranjas dulces". Nevertheless, in some contexts or special texts - poetic or literary, for instance - you can also say or write "dulces naranjas". Hence, "Las dulces naranjas del Eden" (The sweet oranges of Eden).\n\nI hope this gives you an approximate idea.

Depends... if you're talking about America the country and it's foreign policy... If that is what you hate.. no. I despise all of the nation states between Turkey and the Japan, but I'm not racist because I have friends from many of those counries and like them.  But, if it means to hate Americans themselves, then you hate ALL races. Everyone has the potential to be an American. But, you can't move to Italy and be Italian. Or France to be French. And you certainly can't Indian or Arabic unless you were born that way. Americans are bound by ethnicity. \n\nYou're stupid to be Anti-American. The world without America would be rubble. We KEEP the peace.


There's only one real race: the human race. So there really is no such thing as a mixed marriage. All human beings are more than 99% identical genetically. Less than 1% of our genes make up things like hair color, eye color, height, and skin color. Asking of it's okay for a black person and a white person to have children is like asking if it's okay for a tall person and a short person to have children, because skin-color is no more relevant than height or eye color.

Trailer park trash is a name given to classless people, those who are tacky, poor mannered, beer guzzling brawlers.

I've learned this the hard way - by meeting these people in places I'd never expect to.

If you are a nurse/RN, are you a registered nurse? Does RN always mean Registered Nurse?

RN = Registered Nurse. \n\nAn RN can be an RN in training but NOT Licensed.  The License is separate and has to be paid for renewal every year or so from the State or Country you live in.\n\nAn RN is trained in 3 different ways.  An Associates Degree, a Bachelor's Degree or a rare 3-year program called Diploma Program.  \n\n2 year = ADN = Associates Degree Nurse\n3 year = DRN =  Diploma Registered Nurse\n4 year = BSN = Bachelors of Science in Nursing\n\nThere is no difference in the Nursing Skills of any of these degrees (when we take our Boards .. the test that we HAVE to pass to BE an RN, we all take the EXACT SAME TEST).  What is different is the filler knowledge.. that additional stuff that makes a "rounded" degree.  Core Classes.. and the rest of the "Stuff'.\n\nYou can be an RN and not allowed to work as an RN when you do not have a License.  All you have to do is pay for the next couple years License fees to renew a license.. no retesting, etc.\n\nYou can go further in being an RN.. a Nurse Practitioner, a Midwife, A Masters degree, a PhD, etc.  These are more specialties.  But they all start off with the basic RN training.\n\nI am an RN, so am intimately familiar with the Process.


omg 22 months?! suprised you lasted that long. u obviously like him to be with him that long, how long til he gets his licence?

how do u feel abt a girls having one night stands??

If you are under 18.....you probably shouldn't be having one night stands.  Talk to your parents about your impending, potentially life draining nymphomania.  You may need to make an appointment with a therapist.\n\nHowever, if you are over 18, this is fine...if he is cool with it.  You are an adult.  As a guy, I'm thinking....."this is one of the best things that's ever happened to me.....no strings attached....good, semi regular sex....this rocks!.....wait until I tell my boy Brian"\n\nOnly things to worry about are his friends....do not get involved with them.  That is a bad move, because (hopefully) you respect yourself..and to some degree, the guy who you're having (obviously) brain cell reducing, fluid draining, Olympic quality sex with.  \n\nThe other thing is the guy.  He may or may not respect you at this point.  I mean, if you are willing to give up the kitty for basically nothing, he may think he can do or say anything to you........although he probably won't.  What wants to be cut off from dynamite sex?  Still...be somewhat careful...make sure he is single!......wierdos are officially out there.  \n\nAnd use condoms - herpes doesn't go away with a bowl of chicken noodle soup.

Why is our nations capital named Washington D.C., and what does District of Columbia stand for?

The term "District of Columbia" is derived from an old poetic name for the United States, Columbia, which has fallen out of common use since the early 20th century.\n\nFederal districts are subdivisions of a federal system of government. Often, these districts are not one of the countries' component subdivisions, and should not be confused with them, but are rather separate entities under the direct control of the federal government. The seat of the federal government is often located in a Federal District, so that no single individual component can exercise undue influence over federal affairs.

what do you understand by educational psychology?and Evry child is unique, discuss?

I don't know that much about the psychology, but having three kids I can tell you alot about how children learn.  \nSome kids can sit still and listen to their teacher tell them what they need to know.  Some kids need to read about the subject to grasp it.  Some children need to see the object that they are studying, and others (most I would assume) learn best by touching and manipulating what they are studying.  \nSome kids cannot learn without moving around.  This seems to affect young boys more that girls, but the teacher needs to be aware that the child is not being disrespectful, but doing what they need to do learn.  Some kids can sit still, others need to be lying down, etc...  It takes a great teacher to let the kids learn, and not have a discipline problem at the same time.  My youngest has such a teacher this year, she has altered her classroom so that everychilds needs are met, and they still obey her better than any other teacher in the school,  I think it has a lot to do with respect- what she has for her students, they turn around and give it right back to her

Will there be a Triple Crown Winner this year?

If the winner of the Kentucky Derby closes in the last 1/4 mile, yes. there could be a Triple Crown winner-i.e., Steppehwolfer-if the winner of the Kentucky Derby is a front runner-Lawyer Ron (sire=Langfuhr)-it would be very doubtful.\n\nThere is too much pressure on the horses in the Grade 1 racing program and most breeding farms are breeding for speed, not stamina. If Point Determined lays off of the pace and is in contention at the top of the stretch, his breeding and racing background, including blood lines, may allow Point Determined to be a powerful force in the Belmont stakes 1 1/2 mile.\n\nHow the race is run, who wins, and fresh horses being thrown against Kentucky Derby winners are all important factors.\n\nWe'll all get a better picture as to whether or not there will be a Triple Crown champion after the Kentucky Derby. Watch the breeding-pedigree-of the winner of the Kentucky Derby and keep this question posted until the second week in May for better answers...

What law states a relationship betwween volume and Temperature?

The ideal gas law (not sure if it has another name) establishes the relationship between volume and temperature and other things.  Its form is PV = nRT.  There is also Charle's Law and a few others.  Charle's law shows the direct relationship between temp and volume in V/T = k where k is a constant.  It shows that when T increases V must also increase in order for k to remain constant.

Why does it rain when its warm and sunny???

It rains when the air can no longer hold onto the moisture in an evaporated, cloud form.  It can be cold and rainy, mild and rainy, or hot, muggy and rainy.  \n\nMoisture moves on the air currents. During winter, rain usually comes when it is cold because the air currents bring COLD air from the far north (remember the "jet stream" they talk about on the news?)  But when air currents from the tropics move overhead, temperatures are warmer because it isn't cold in the tropics. And tropical air often brings a huge amount of rain (think hurricanes).\n\nDuring summer, if there is moisture in the air, a lot of moisture, it condenses and turns into liquid form (rain) when temperatures and moisture content of the clouds reaches the right combination.


Do you think Bushlette will step down when his term is up, or try to stay in for "our protection"?

For a short speech (3-5 minutes) you could talk about how Jamaica is culturally unique compared to surrounding islands, essentially talking about what things Jamaica offers the world.\n\nFor a longer speech (5-8 minutes) you could talk about the history of Jamaica from being an independent island to growing sugar under British rule to the slave rebellions and independence to what is now a world-famous tourist destination.\n\nFor a really long speech (10-20 minutes), you could talk about what is required to get a summer job in Jamaica.  You could talk about the various industries that hire temporary workers for the summer season, what work permits are required, how to get to Jamaica, where to stay while you're there, and to top it off, it would look really good if you called one of the resorts and asked them what percentage of workers they hire are non-Jamaican.

I dont want to break the heart of girl, who wants to sleep with me. i dont want to cheat my wife too.?

Ok thats kinda easy. You should be straight out with yourself, if you love your wife then you don't want to put yourself and your wife's future happiness in jeopardy. You should not only think about your feelings, but your wife's as well. And if you want to go out with the other girl, you should think about the future. Do you want a future with the other girl or is it just a one night thing? Think about this and if you have children, think about them as well. If you need any more help, email me. Bye and I hope I helped you.

Was the T.V. show called Injustice cancelled?


Do you know any Diseases that are funny? easy 10 oints!?

the best one is definitely Jumping Frenchmen of Maine disorder.\n\nThose who suffer from Jumping Frenchman of Maine have highly exaggerated startle reflexes, and tend to leap about wildly, whooping and flailing their elbows ineffectually when they are frightened.\n\nThe disorder was named after a pair of French-Canadian lumberjack brothers who worked in Maine.\n\nI can only imagine the living hell it must have been for them living in a lumber camp where their reaction was well known enough to get the disorder named after them.  I know if I were working with them, I'd be compelled to test their reactions at least once a week.

Enron?  What id Lay know and when did he know it and how close was Kenny Boy to Bush?

Boy, am I not convinced by his "I was too busy running the company to run the company" answers. At best, he plugged his ears and went "nyah, nyah, nyah" whenever he heard about something that didn't seem right, and is guilty (morally and legally) by default. At worst he was an active participant.\n\nWhile I don't think he and Bush had anything illicit going on, they certainly knew each other socially. Bush probably was too busy running the country to pay much attention to him during the funny business.\n\nHe's gonna go down.

Although this seems to be a problem about Gregor Mendel and his tall and dwarf pea plants, once it is realised that the probability of any child being short is 1/2, it simplifies to being the simpler and more familiar one of tossing a coin, heads or tails, n times\n\nIt would have produced more interesting results perhaps if the parents were Aa and Aa and three children out of four were therefore tall and we had looked at grandchildren (offspring of children who are one quarter AA, one half Aa and one quarter aa, eg if they intermarry with another such distribution among their partners.) However ...\n\n(i) is imprecisely worded. How big is the family?\n\nIf there is one child, the chance of that child being short is  1/2\n\nIf there are two children, the chance that both are tall is 1/4 and the chance that at least one child is short is 3/4. (Of one being short is 1/2 and of both being short is a quarter.)\n\nIf there are three children, the chance that all three are tall is 1/8 and the chance that at least one child is short is 7/8 (of one being short: 3/8, of two being short also 3/8, of all three being short: 1/8).\n\nWith 4 children, the chance of at least 1 being short is 15/16, of 1  being short is 4/16 or 1/4; of 2 being short is 6/16 or 3/8; of 3   being short is 4/16 or 1/4; of all 4 being short is 1/16;\n\nOne just reads across successive lines of Pascal's Triangle.\n\n(ii) the answer to this is buried in the above: 3/8ths\n\n(iii) again, imprecisely phrased. Does "such families" refer back to (i) or to (ii)? Taking it to mean families of four children, there is one chance in 16 of 4 tall children, 4 chances in 16 of 3 tall children, 6 chances in 16 of 2 tall children, 4 chances in 16 of 1 tall child and 1 chance in 16 of 0 tall children.\n\nIn 16 such families, there are 64 children and unsurprisingly 32 are tall\n(1 x 4) + (4 x 3) + (6 x 2) + (4 x 1) + 0\n\nwith an average number of 2 tall children per family, and as you would expect an average number of 2 short children per family, too.\n\n(iv) 256 = 16 squared and so the expectation is 16 families out of 256 will have 4 tall children, given 1 family in 16 has this particular expectation.


can lapsed car insurance fees be reported to the credit bureau?

Unfortunately, lapsed car insurance fees can be reported to the credit bureau and also turned over to collection agencies if not paid.\n\nWhen you purchased the insurance, you signed a 'contract (policy)' with the insurance company.  Typically the policy is for a period of time, like 6 months or 1 year.  Insurance companies then give you, the customer, the option to pay it all up front, or to make a series of payments, usually 2 or 4 payments for the 6 month policy.  So you are not paying for insurance month by month.  If you did not cancel the policy when you relocated, you are liable for the payments.  If you decide to let the insurance lapse, after a period of time, the insurance company will cancel the policy, but you will have to pay for any time coverage was provided up until the cancellation date (grace period). Been there, done that....\n\nBTW- grace periods are built into the policy.  Otherwise, if you were 1 day late paying your insurance, it'd be too late because it'd already be canceled.  You don't authorize grace periods...\n\nYou should definitely check out your policy and see what it says, I'm also curious as to why relocation caused the insurance to lapse?

Why more developed countries pay farmers not to grown while people starve in the less-developed countries?

Because if too many people farmed, then farmers could not earn enough money, and they would all quit. As for starving people in other countries, I know it is sad, but farmers will only harvest what they can sell for a satisfatory profit. Unless someone is paying them for the crops, they will not grow it. Its one sad part of the world we live in.

Electricity and magnetism are closely related.  When a current goes through a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire.  Similarly, if a magnetic field is moved past a wire, it can induce a current.\n\nA generator spins a magnet past a series of coiled wires, inducing currents in them.  Generators and alternators both work in this way.  The difference between the two is that in a generator, the current always goes in the same direction, while in an alternator, it switches directions due to the fact that the polarity of the magnet changes as it rotates.\n\nGenerators always produce Direct Current (DC current), while alternators always produce Alternating Current (AC current).\n\nThe difference in nuclear, steam, coal, oil and hydroelectric powerplants is simply in how the rotation of the generator is produced.  The generators work in exactly the same way in each case.\n\nSolar power is different.  In the case of solar power, the current can be generated in one of several different ways.  These are more complicated, however, and I don't know the specifics of how they work.  Sorry.

what is the easiest way to do the annotated bibliography without reading all book?

The term "annotated bibliography" covers a lot of ground.  Whatever we say here, your teacher may want something different.  Make sure you know what is wanted.  (I made the mistake of not finding this out, once.)\n\nIt's not typical to read all the books/articles when compiling an annotated bibliography.  Skills of quick reading, skimming are important here; and, this kind of assignments helps these skills develop.\n\nThe annotations should not be simple summaries, but should be encapsulated recapitulations of the arguments as they are relevant to the topic.\n\nAs to how to pick the books apart, look for important details in the standard places.  Many authors will give a précis of their arguments in an introduction.  Some chapters begin with an overview of what will be argued in the chapter; some recapitulate the argument at the end.  Some authors have a concluding chapter which recapitulates their points, or place this at the end of the final chapter.

Who do the rastafarians worshipped? I need alot of info on that question?

The Rastafarian movement gave first appeared in the early 1930s. Rastafarians were followers of Marcus Garvey who worshiped the Almighty in the person of Haile Selasssie. Rastafarians worship Haile Selassie, former emperor of Ethiopia, under his precoronation name Ras Tafari. They consider the former Ethiopian emperor to have been a divine being, the Messiah, and the champion of the black race. Rastafarians consider themselves to be the ancient Hebrews who were exiled in Babylon. Rastafarian lifestyle includes dietary rules, often vegetarianism, the wearing of uncombed locks and beards, and the smoking of ganja. \n\nMany Rastas outlaw the combing or cutting of the hair, "citing the holy directive in Leviticus 21:15: "They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh (White 12)". These long, thick, strands of hair are called dreadlocks. Rastas often compare their dreads to that of a lions mane, which also happens to be the symbol of Haile Selassie."Children often pull on a man's dreadlocks to make sure he is real.They are feeling the person out, making sure he/she is not a negative or weird person (McDaniel A1)".\n\nThe Rastafarians formulated a strict set of dietary and hygienic laws to accompany the religious doctrine. They shun the ingestion of alcohol, tobacco, all meat, especially pork, as well as shellfish, scalefish, snails, predatory and scavenger species of marine life, and many common seasonings like salt.In short, anything that is not "ital," a rasta term meaning pure, natural or clean, is forbidden (Chevannes 204). The rejection of the pig can be found in the importance of this animal in traditional life. The wild pig was for many years during slavery the only important source of food for the runaway slaves. Rastafari reject the pig, probably on the same basis that many of them also reject saltfish because it was one of those foods associated with slavery. For most Rastafari, the sight of a pig rummaging through garbage on the streets of the slums, or at the dumps in competition with the flies, is revolting.\n\nFear of contamination from the pig is extended to Rastafari fear of contamination from the dead. Rastafarians believe that they will never die as long as they remain true and faithful to Selassie. When death does come, "it is always explained away by saying that the subject had departed from the chosen path of Rastafari, had violated some divine precept, and was therefore struck by the mighty power of Jah (Selassie) (Chevannes 203)". It does not matter whether death is by accident, sickness, or by the agency of man. Rastafarians therefore do not even attend funerals.\n\nAn important contribution to Rastafarian culture is the smoking of ganja. Smoking ganja is a ritual celebration called a "duty (Chevannes 199)". Before a Rastafari sets out on a journey he performs a duty. Journeys begin with a ritual smoking and prayer in the yard of departure. The chillum pipe used in these rituals should not be called a pipe, but a cup or a chalice because Deuteronomy and other sections of the bible in speaking of sending up incense to Jah were referring to the herbs. If members of the group are smoking their own spliffs, they are put out or laid aside when the chalice is ready to be lit. One of the members prepares the herbs, cutting it up, dampening it with a few drops of water, and mixing in the tobacco from a cigarette (Rastas say the tobacco cuts down on the harshness). Caps are removed from their heads as they are about to set fire to the herbs. Everyone is silent and in prayer as the chalice is passed around counterclockwise. Journeys are taken quite seriously, if a Rasta were to stub his toe of his left foot at the start of a journey, which is a sign of bad luck, it would be enough to cause him to turn back and start again.\n\nRastafarian women are usually segregated fro

(m)\n\nAn amorphous metal is a metallic material with a disordered atomic-scale structure. In contrast to most metals, which are crystalline and therefore have a highly ordered arrangement of atoms, amorphous alloys are non-crystalline. Materials in which such a disordered structure is produced directly from the liquid state during cooling are called "glasses", and so amorphous metals are commonly referred to as "metallic glasses" or "glassy metals". However, there are several other ways in which amorphous metals can be produced, including physical vapor deposition, solid-state reaction, ion irradiation, and mechanical alloying. Amorphous metals produced by these techniques are, strictly speaking, not glasses, but materials scientists commonly consider amorphous alloys to be a single class of materials, regardless of how they are prepared.


All Americans... If i was to say to you....?

You are generalizing all Americans into one catagory which is wrong. Even though your opinion doesn't concern me or very much matter I believe you really need to further your education. Let's see what you can do in 8th grade. I agree that there's a lot of people from all different countries who are lame excuses, not just America. Furthermore, if you really look into history, you will see that Americans are a spin-off of those countries over there. England, France, Germany, Finland, Norway, Africa, etc. We have as U.S. Citizens - Japanese, Chinese, Somalians, Russians, Australians, Lebanese, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Canadians, Austrians, Bosnians, Africans, Finnish, Norwegians, French, English, Greek, Irish, Dutch, New Zealanders, Polish, Lithuanians, Scots, Spanish, Portugese, and many others from all different countries. Maybe that's why we are blessed. So when you put America down, you're messing with a lot of different Nations. America pays out of the a** for helping different countries and they should consider themselves blessed to have a friend that will do that and is able to do that. So if other countries would just stay out of our pockets and not concern themselves with the money we waste and think of a way to come up with their own we wouldn't have to spend so much on them. And we could spend it on hot air balloons or something....\n\nI was wrong, you are right. It's all about money. I was laying in bed last night and came to this conclusion since I remembered the plight of the Native Americans and how they were all sent to reservations to live and given commodities to live. The BIA lost 20 billion that was suppose to be for the tribal lands with no clear explanantion of where it went. Now that the Tribes have casinos the Government wants a cut of that money too. Enough will never be enough. I also aplogize for my sarcasm. I get carried away from myself sometimes. I was going to edit this last night but the electricity went out and I was left in the dark. Hmmmm......


Average is 6". . . but I've seen much larger ones. . . and much smaller ones


This does not sound exactly right... but I'll take a stab...\n\nYou are buying a deed... so yes, you would have ownership... not a claim against title like as in a lien purchase.\n\nI can see what you are saying about the one year period... essentially this is how liens work (although I'm not a title agent who would be able to advise you better).\n\nThe more that I'm thinking about this... the reason that you will not be able to get title insurance is because you are buying an inferior deed type.  You will probably have to go through a process to cure any 'potential' defects to title.  Like advertising ownership and intention to cure defects in newspapers through public notice.\n\nBut because other liens might be outstanding, and probably very likely, this is why you are not getting a Warantee deed.  The defective deed type presents significant risk and their are to be likely other claims to title.

What are some techniques for self healing with the mind?

I would look into the practices of Thich Nhat Hanh, the famous Buddhist from Vietnam.  His mindful waking is awesome.  He has so many spectacular books on mediation.  To start, I would recommend meditating on his 5 Mindful Trainings.  If you can master that, then you should attempt his 14 Mindful Trainings.  If these for some reason, do not suit you, he is the most flexible with learning.  He says that if it doesn't suit you, you can always do some other meditations of his, or even somebody's else's, as long as you achieve the desired result.\n\nHere is a link:\nhttp://www.plumvillage.org/MindfulnessTrainings/MTTrainingInfo.htm


At a financial institution, collected checks are are taken to a check sorter or MICR encoder.  This is a machine that prints MICR numbers at the bottom of each check for easy reading/processing by the Federal Reserve which clears the checks.  (You already have MICR numbers on checks:  Your routing and account number.  But, the MICR encoder will add additional numbers, specifically, the amount of the check.)\n\nThis is a largely mechanical process now, but there generally still is at least one person at the helm of a check sorter (the operator) to ensure the machine runs smoothly, jams are cleared, ensures the checks run through balance with the deposits declared, etc.

There's a weighing scale & 8 coins.7 r of the same weight,1 of them is heavier.U r  to weigh them only twice..

Divide them into 2 groups: 6 and 2\nWeigh the group of 6 placing 3 on each side.\nIf they are equal, then the odd coin is in the group of two.  Weigh each coin to determine the heavier one.\nIf they are not equal, then take the 3 coins from the heavy side.\nTake two of them and place one on each side.\nIf they are equal then the third coin is the heavy one.\nIf they are unequal, then you know which one is heavier.


A sense or showing of understatement, maybe.


can someone explain to me how a scam internet business can continue to operate without goverment intervention?

Ask not what your country can do for you.  Ask what you can do for your country.  Why not publicize the scam on Yahoo and a few other message boards.
