To add to above answer, devices with firewalls built in also increase latency. Also, latency has at least three sources:\n\n    First, there is the time it takes the source computer to place voltage pulses on the wire and the time it takes the destination computer to interpret these pulses. This is usually around 1 microsecond for a 10 Mbps network card. \n\n    Second, there is the actual travel delay because the signal takes time to travel through the cable. Typically, this is about 0.556 microseconds per 100 m for Cat 5 UTP. Longer cable results in more travel delay. \n\n    Third, latency is added based on network devices that are in the path between two computers.The more advanced device that the signal must go through, the more latency.\n\n    Hubs have less latency than switches, because switches need to decide where the packet goes before transmitting. Routers are even more advanced, and thus increase latency.\n\n    Here is the basic estimated latency for the devices above:\nHub - 10%\nSwitch - 20%\nRouter - 30%\n\n    Be warned, though, that since a hub forwards out all ports, users share bandwidth, and can easily become congested. I suggest using a switch.\n\n    Any more info needed? robotdanb@yahoo.com

Should I invest in whole life insurance?

For a young person the most important after paying your rent and food are (in order of importance)\n\n1. Major medical coverage\n2. Money in your IRA or 401(k)\n3. Keeping your car up to snuff\n4. Keeping your skills up to snuff\n\nOnce you are married and/or a homeowner, these become:\n\n1. Major medical coverage\n2. 2 years disability income coverage, usually equal to 1/2 to 2/3 your earnings\n3. Your homeowners and mortgage insurance\n4. Your 401 (k)\n5. Your car insurance\n6. LAST - Life Insurance, but not as an investment scheme, just the basic insurance, so your wife can pay off all bills if you suddenly croak and not be in poverty while raising the kids the rest of the way.\n\nNote:  These days BOTH husband AND wife must work, but women will naturally have less employment while in last stage of pregnancy and while properly caring for toddler-to-third grader kids.\n\nThe itemss mentioned BEFORE Life Insurance are there precisely because they are FAR more important than life insurance.\n\nAccident Insurance has many exclusions and limitations.  Only 1 in 10 people die from an accident.  \n\nGet accident insurance ONLY for a particular flight or long trip.\n\nInsuerers get the money for their deep pile rugs and luxurious furnishings by selling lots of accident insurance for people who do not know what I know, which is the far more important ones listed in the correct order above.

do u think people that die and go to heaven can remeber things on earth or remeber other people the knew?

Marianne has some good points, but I will back it up with some scripture. The Bible says that God will "wipe every tear from our eye", there is your selective memory wipe. Also, the Bible says that we will be known for who we were. So I will recognize familiar friends.

Why the wind cannot be seen, light cannot be touched, smell has no color and sound has no shape?

txgurl, I am going to have to disagree with the question itself, and, as a result, answer your question.\n#1, you say that wind cannot be seen.  The real statement would be that wind cannot be seen with the naked eye.  Wind is the dramatic passage of air molecules from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure.  This means, that wind is actually air particles zooming past you.  If you were to pause the wind mid-stride and put part of it under a microscope, you would see millions of molecules and tiny particles.  That is what wind is.  So, it can be seen and has been seen, just not with the naked eye, because it's elements are too small.\n#2, Light cannot be touched.  Acutally, scientists believe that light is made up of photons, which are mass-less particle with a standing wavelength of energy inside.  When these particles strike your hand, the outer shell breaks appart, and the energy is released into your hand in the form of energy, both visible and thermal.  So, for the brief second that the photon is in contact with your hand before the shell dissolves, the light can be touched.  It is just so tine (mass-less in fact) and there are so many of them, that our physical senses cannot detect them.\n#3, Smell has no color.  It is believed that all the senses are interrelated.  This means that light has smell and feel and taste, that color has a taste smell and feel, etc.  How is it that some insects are attracted to red flowers and yet they are color blind?  It is because they can smell the color.  Each color has a place in the smell spectrum as well as in the light spectrum.  But, to answer your question, we cannot smell it because, like out eyes can only detect a small range of light, out noses can only smell a small portion of the odor spectrum.\n#4, Sound has no shape.  Actually, sound is in the shape of a sphere.  Once again, just like wind, there would be no sound in a vacuum.  When a sound is made, the sound waves oscillate out from the source from every direction.  Sound travels though solids faster than through gases.  This is how they detect earthquakes.  They have instruments that pick up and map the sound impulses through the gound.  This makes a picture on a map, and they can thus tell the direction and power of the earthquake.  have you ever seen a jet break the sound barrior?  At the moment of the break, a cloud of moisture is formed in a cone shape around the jet.  This cone shape can be demonstrated by blowing up a balloon part of the way.  Then poke your finger hard into one side of the balloon.  The balloon will become shaped like a distorted cone.  Now, this is like the sound.  Keep pushing and the baloon will pop.  Kinda like the sonic boom caused when the jet breaks the sound barrier.  This is the shape of sound.  Again, our sences are too finite to be able to detect the individual molecules and thus, we cannot see the shape.  But a microscope could and computers can detect and generate images of what we could see, if only our sences were more powerful.  Hope this is of some assistance to you.

Should business be a legitimate postgraduate subject?

Business is not a legimate undergraduate subject to study in college much less graduate study. This isn't because it isn't important but because that is something you learn by experience and using trial and error. You can't teach common sense. Some people are born with natural instincts for business.


in my opinion it does work because your body need to relax and when you sleep and you wont get puffy eyes.

when was taoism formed and who was the founder of taoism?

Depending on how it is defined, Taoism's origins may be traced to the prehistoric Chinese religion; to the composition of the Daodejing (third or fourth century BCE); or to the activity of Zhang Daoling (second century CE). Alternatively, one could argue that "Taoism" as a religious identity only arose later, by way of contrast with the newly-arrived religion of Buddhism, or with the fourth-century codification of the Shangching and Lingbao texts.\n\nThe texts of the Daodejing and the Zhuangzi date back to the Warring States Period (403-222 BCE). Scholars disagree as to which is earlier (if the question has any meaning given the likelihood of each being composed by multiple authors over a gradual period). Some parts of the Zhuangzi quote some parts of the Daodejing. The name "Laozi" may have been assigned to the latter because of Sima Qian's assertion that a certain "Laozi" was the teacher of Confucius (thus giving Taoism seniority over its ideological rival).\n\nBoth texts are claimed by later Taoist religious movements, who variously interpret them in line with their own beliefs. To what extent such readings accurately reflect their original meaning, is a point of controversy.

How to find grants and/or scholarships to go back to school?

Don't be afraid to call local colleges financial aid offices, they should be able to tell you what options are available, and maybe even help you apply, or at least point you in the right direction....and you can always look on the net under scholarships, I imagine if you look under grants, you'll be getting alot of unwanted emails! so  I'd try scholarships first.

which is a good album to start on the beatles?

If you are a true beginner, the album "One" has all their Number One hits, and covers their career throughout.  It serves as a good survey.\n\nIf you think you will eventually get all their albums maybe you don't want a greatest hits album like "One."  In that case I'd think about what period Beatles you like the best and pick one of the following:  "Meet The Beatles" (very early); "Rubber Soul" (middle peroid, where things start to get more complicated; "Abbey Road" (late Beatles -- mix of stuff.)  \n\nIn some ways Sgt. Pepper is considered their best, but much of that is beacuse of its historical significance, its psychedelia, and its sort-of theme album status -- all of which I think are less important today than at the time.  To me, it has fewer great songs and is a bit harder to get into.  But you can't go wrong with any choice.

This is fun....If you are homebound, get direct Tv, buy movies, read an interesting book, word puzzles are fun or get a group of friends together to play bingo, games,watch movies etc. and have a day of fun.This is what I would do.

Here are some ideas: Get some people to set up a face-painting or temporary tattoo stall. That way, some supporters can even show their support by painting the names of the runners on their faces!

Even painting a community mural would be nice, where one person pays 1 buck and gets to paint a small section of the mural. You can even modify this idea to set up a site where people dab their hands in paint and leave coloured handprints with their signature.


Why do catholics address priests as "father" when the bible says to call no man on earth "father"?

There was a time when the priest of Israel where the only means of communicating with God.  They abused their priveledge and then it was no more.  Catholic priest also have abused their power.  They are not your father.  They seek to deceive you.  You speak of the scriptures and say you understand their meaning.  Then do what is asked of you.  Many will persecute you and call you all kinds of names.  But for Christ sake endure these things.  For your treasures are not on this earth.  We will discuss this more when we get there.

if you stood before jesus christ right now, what wood you say?

When my day comes of that sweet reunion, I would say, My Lord it has been an honor to have served you. I was not ashamed to be fruitful nor was I ashamed to pray in public restaurants or to answer to anyone of my faithful devotion to you. My purpose on earth was for you and you alone, not for me. Even though you blessed me with 3 beautiful children I knew from day one that they were not mine. I was to mold them into awesome Christians. They are of pure innocence and faith. I hope that I have done good. I know that you know how many people that I have led to you. I know that I couldn't of saved them all just the ones that were willing. Lord please continue to bless my enemies, my friends, and my family. Please have mercy on those who know not what they do. I love you and I will forever worship you. You are the perfect lamb. I was lost at one time but you led me to an awesome church with awesome believers who made me thirst and hunger for you and the knowledge. I Love You and I believed in you and your purpose. You showed me the way through the Holy Spirit and I am glad for our reunion for I was Home Sick. I was blessed while I was on earth, but now I will be more Blessed with the gift of Eternal Life.


If George W. Bush is a liar, then what was Bill Clinton?

Actually, Clinton's lies, being all sissyfied and diplomatic just didn't kill americans. The difference between the two is that Bush is accomplishing something instead of holding out as long as possible without actually taking action. Oh, and Clinton was a much better liar. That man was the best speech giver I have ever seen! Bush really sucks at public speaking and should slap his writers.

Madurai Kamaraj University, located in Madurai town (in southern Tamil Nadu) established in 1966, has 18 Schools comprising 72 Departments. The Directorate of Distance Education of the University has a student strength of about 1.30 lakhs. The University has 109 affiliated Colleges (9 Autonomous) including other approved institutions and 7 evening colleges. There are centres which promote research potential of teachers.\n\nMadurai Kamaraj University, (originally known as Madurai University) was named after the historical city of Madurai, the ancient capital of the Pandyan rulers and the seat of three famous Tamil academies going back to the beginnings of the Christian and even perhaps an earlier Era, was inaugurated on 6th February 1966 at the heart of the city. Its nucleus was the Extension centre of the University of Madras located at Madurai.\n\nTwo years later, the foundation stone for a new campus was laid by Dr.Zakir Hussain, the then President of India on Madurai - Theni road, 13 kilometers to the west of the city. Since then the campus has grown into a beautiful University township with an extensive area of about 750 acres, appropriately called in Tamil "Palkalainagar" (means university township). And in 1978, the name of the University was changed to Madurai Kamaraj University to honour one of the most illustrious sons of our country, Late Mr Kamaraj (ex-Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu).

Yes, any exercise that can loosen muscles helps to prevent "shrinking" and may even promote growth.  Shrinkage can be caused by compacted cartilage and/or gravity. If your muscles are tense it aides gravity in compacting your spine and joints. By stretching (doing yoga) your spine, joints, and muscles are relaxed and does not compact your body and may allow your body to expand. This is the same reason why you are taller in the morning than in the evening. When you are lying down gravity is not impacting you body in the same way as when you are standing, your relaxed body is allowed to expand.

why is glucose highly reactive in oxygen gas ( at 37 degree celcius) in the biological systems?

Biological systems have enzymes (and a handful of other reagents) which will use O2 and sugar to make energy--specifically, hexokinase (HK), phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI), phosphofructokinase (PFK), aldolase, triose phosphate isomerase (TIM), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK), phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM), endolase, and pyruvate kinase (PK).  The process undergone is called glycolysis.  The result is that glucose is consumed, making two pyruvate molecules (which in some systems can then enter the Citric Acid Cycle aka Kreb's Cycle) and ADP is turned into ATP, which is an energy source.\n\nAnd after memorizing this and subsequently forgeting all this useless detail some years ago, I nearly ralphed on my book reading this just now.  Bad memories.

Find the ones that you feel most comfortable about with their academic goals, their safety proceedures, their class size (you want to make sure your child will have an attentive staff and not just be a face in the crowd), and also take into account any financial concerns. After you have it narrowed down to 4-5 go and visit. Call ahead and see if they allow unplanned visits and then wait a few days and just show up for a tour. Try to see how they opperate during business hours so you can see how the kids are treated. After you do this and get it to 2-3 take your child. Let them see how they feel there. See if your child can sit in on activities to get a feel for the class and the kids in the class. Then mamke your decision based upon where the child will be happiest because you will have already narrowed down the best places using the above criteria. Good luck!


what does it mean to TRULY love someone?

If you're doing things, that you would tell someone else are silly or goofy, You're in love. if you go to slice a banana into your cereal and slice the peel and throw out the fruit, You're in love. If you smile all day and people start to look at you funny, You're in love. It just means that you accept another person, as is, and hopefully they accept you the same way. It IS the best feeling in the world, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I am having problems opening up photo attachments sent by  my friends and family?

This is a guess, but probably a pretty good one. Every kind of file stored on a computer has associations that tell the operating system which application to use when opening it. For example, on your old computer you might have had photoshop installed and when it as installed it registered itself with windows as the first choice application to open certain kinds of files (like a .JPG file for instance).\n\nFiles that have already been opened from attachments have been registered by whatever email program you are using as having been opened with a particular application and so when that attachment is reopened windows already knows what application to use to open it.\n\nIt sounds to me as though what is happening to you is that new email attachments that have never been opened don't have an association with a particular program you want to use. They way to fix this is to open Windows explorer, (just open my computer) click Tools>folder options> file types and scroll down the list of file types to the kind of file that you are trying to open. Most photos these days are mailed as jpg files, but yours could be tiff or something else-you should know that. Once you find the file type highlight it and you should be able to see what program windows thinks it should use to open the file and whether or not you have the program. If you want to use a different program click change and tell windows what you want to use. The default program that windows preassociates with JPEG files is the windows photo and fax viewer which usually works pretty well for casual viewing. It could also be that your email program or browser doesn't know what helper program to use. That's pretty easy to fix too. If this doesn't work, you can always post another question.\n\nIt could be that you have an entirely different problem, but this is the first thing I would try because its easy to undo if it doesn't work. All the other reasons your pictures aren't opening are trickier to fix than this.


Symptoms of food poisoning are pretty much the same no matter what kind of food it is.\n\n\nSymptoms of food poisoning can range from mild headache to severe flu-like symptoms. The most common signs and symptoms are nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, chills, and vomiting. A person with food poisoning may have any combination of these symptoms depending on the cause or the agent involved. The illness may begin from one to 72 hours after eating the food. If you or any of your family suspect food poisoning, you should seek medical aid and report the poisoning to your local health unit.

Oh, it can be hard to tell sometimes. Some guys are very shy and afraid of rejection. They can be so afraid to let their feelings show. \n\nIf they get kinda tongue-tied and quiet around you, that might be a sign. If they keep calling and asking you to do things with them, that's a pretty big sign.  If they give you gifts and remember your birthday, valentine's day, etc.... well, he's yours! Even married guys forget that stuff.\n\nSeriously, if you think he likes you, and you like him back, TELL HIM YOU LIKE HIM! If he isn't into you, he'll let you know. But don't wait for him to ask you... some guys are so shy it may never happen!


be honest about your level of experiance or comfort.. don't pull a stupid sitcom moment of, "oh no, I'm great at this" and then you end up looking lame with a broken wrist, or whatever.\nand don't put yourself down.  Pull the cutest guy to you, say, "I haven't done this for awhile, do you mind staying with me until I feel more comfortable." \nact confidant and things'll be fine..\nand have fun..


I really miss my loved one,but the thing is I lost my cellphone together w/ his number.?

If you know his last name you can go online to one of the search places. I included a typical site below for you in case you want to try. Word of warning tho, they will charge you for this service. If this doesn't work, call a private investigator, if you think it warrants that.\n\nDon't you know where he works?\n\nCan you go back to the bar and ask if he's a regular?\n\nJust a couple thoughts there for you.\n\nUnfortunately tho....he probably figures you have blown him off, as women seem to be famous for doing this, and he may have moved past this already.\n\nDo cell phone companies upload your info to their servers? I don't know if they do this or not....I don't have a cell.\n\nTo actually answer your question tho....if you were careless enough to lose something as important as your cell phone, I'd say that you and he were probably not meant to hook up, but perhaps if you go back to the bar now and then you may run into him again.\n\nI wish you well and luck.\n\n\n\nI second that.....what sara said.

What is the difference, nutritionally and diet-wise, between low fat yougurt and low fat cottage cheese?

Although it says 'low-fat' I believe the fat content of cheese is higher than the yogurt.  Cottage cheese also has more protein in it (on average) and may actually be more filling.  I personally don't see a problem with substituting those 2 items althought I am no dietition.


What kind of sound card comes with a HP Pavilion ze5170 laptop and who manufactured it?

I checked the HP Support Website, but couldn't find any information about the sound card for your laptop. As far as I understand it (I'm more of a software person than a hardware one) the sound is probably onboard, like some graphics cards.\nIt seems like you really want to know how to get sound out of the laptop. First, check to make sure that the sound isn't muted. In the system tray (down by the clock) there should be a little speaker icon. Double click that icon and make sure that master volume and wave sound categories are not muted (there's a check box below the slider). Then make sure that the sliders are about halfway up.\nIf you still don't get sound go to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?dlc=en&lc=en&product=83862&dest_page=product&cc=us&os=228 and download the driver updates for your laptop.\nGood luck trying to get it to work.

3 miles\n\nToo many people have been turned off of running simply by trying to start off too fast. Their bodies rebel, and they wind up miserable, wondering why anyone would possibly want to do this to themselves.\n\nYou should ease into your running program gradually. In fact, the beginners' program we outline here is less of a running regimen than a walking and jogging program. The idea is to transform you from couch potato to runner, getting you running three miles (or 5K) on a regular basis in just two months.\n\nIt's easy to get impatient, and you may feel tempted to skip ahead in the program, but hold yourself back. Don't try to do more, even if you feel you can. If, on the other hand, you find the program too strenuous, just stretch it out. Don't feel pressured to continue faster than you're able. Repeat weeks if needed and move ahead only when you feel you're ready.

What superhero comic books would I like?

Well, heck, if you like Ellis' work, then Invincible Iron Man is for you.  But then again, Transmetropolitan is one heck of a book...\n\nMy recommendations would be Garth Ennis' Preacher, Dave Sim's Cerebus, Jeff Smith's Bone, Neil Gaiman's Sandman to name a few... But those are mostly indie stuff that you may already know about.\n\nWith that in mind, I am assuming that you want to read about superheroes with quite a bit of depth to them - no shallow cookie cutter stuff for you!\n\nHow about The Powers, Violent Messiahs, Noble Causes, and heck, even Batman, Spiderman, X-men are quite good titles, as they involve well-fleshed out characters.  I'd suggest the Ultimate line with the two Marvel lines, and perhaps someone could add a good series for you to dive into when it comes to Batman, as I know there's a few different titles starring Wayne....

communications\nThe electronic transfer of information from one location to another. "Data communications" or "datacom" refers to digital transmission, and "telecommunications" or "telecom" refers to a mix of voice and data, both analog and digital. "Networking" refers specifically to LANs and WANs.\n\nThe term "communications" used by itself generally pertains to telecom-related subjects such as PBXs, modems, call centers and the like. However, the word is also a generic English word that is used descriptively such as in the headline "Analog Vs. Digital Communications" below. Thus, "communications" is used specifically in some cases and more generically in others.


Why are men attracted by 2 women together?

I've never been turned on by that. And, no, I'm not a prude. For the women out there who's men are pressuring them into something like this, just make them a deal- you'll do it if they do it with a guy first. Then see their reactions.\n\nI've had buddies that are shocked that 2 women don't turn me on. Sorry, I'd rather have mine, treat like she should be, and have her all to myself. \n\nThere's a story in Dear Abby years ago. A guy introduced his wife into 3somes with him & another guy. Not long after that, his wife was pregnant by the other guy and threw her husband out of the house & kept the other guy. Moral: don't introduce outside influences into your relationships, it just may backfire.

Can i go to U.S. High School if im not a Citizen but really want to?

There are generally age limits for public schools in the US.  They vary from region to region and state to state, but most high-end limits are between 20 and 24.  Is a B.A. overseas comparable to a B.A. in the US?  If it is, I don't understand why you'd want to backtrack and go to a lower level of schooling.  Many high schools participate in study abroad programs such as http://www.twoworldsunited.com/study_abroad_education.html  Most colleges also are eager for foreign students; contacting the particular school in which you are interested would be the next course of action in this case.

Water on the earth is believed to have come from one or more of three sources:\n1. Water could have formed as early rocks melted, solidified, and crystallized. These rocks could have given off water directly, or given it off as gases that later broke down into oxygen and hydrogen, which would have combined to make water. Hydrogen may have been present as the first atmospheric gas and oxygen is present in many rocks. \n2. Water could have been carried onto the planet by meteorites. \n3. Water could have been carried onto the planet by comets. \nIt is  possible that all three are true.


Is there anyway to get around a credit check when you apply for a job and have bad credit?

Many companies that deal with lots of monies or goods check your credit nowadays.  This has become a common practice.  Also, companies that deal with other individuals sensitive information (SSN and such) do credit checks.  They use this to weed out those with bad credit because they feel that they are more likely to be tempted to do illegal activities for money.\n\nHowever, I do not then that there is a way to get around it.


what is the difference between chemical and mechanical digestion in the amoeba?

Chemical digestion is accomplished using enzymes - chemicals that break down the structure of whatever food the amoeba is eating.  Mechanical digestion comes from movement - like chewing - using physical force to break apart the food, but not alter the food's chemical structure (that is what the enzymes do - alter the chemical structure)

Name the first dinosaur discovered by mankind?

Adapted from Dinosaurs: The Very Latest Information and Hands-On Activities From the Museum of the Rockies, by Liza Charlesworth and Bonnie Sachatello-Sawyer. A Scholastic Professional Book.\n\nWay back in 1676, Robert Plot, the curator of an English museum, described and drew a thigh bone that he believed belonged to a giant man. Although that fossil disappeared without a trace, the surviving illustration suggests that it may well have been part of a "Megalosaurus." Later, in 1822, large teeth discovered in England by Mary Ann Mantell and her husband, Gideon, were thought to be the remains of a huge and extinct iguana. It wasn't until 1841 that British scientist Richard Owen came to realize that such fossils were distinct from the teeth or bones of any living creature. The ancient animals were so different, in fact, that they deserved their own name. So Owen dubbed the group "Dinosauria," which means "terrible lizards."\n\nAcross the ocean in North America, dinosaur tracks were studied in the Connecticut Valley, beginning in the 1830's. They were believed to belong to enormous ravens, freed from Noah's Ark after the Great Flood. At that time, paleontology was long on deduction and short on evidence. This was remedied when two wealthy and competitive American scientists, Othniel Marsh and Edward Cope, raced to excavate fossils in the Rocky Mountain region. In the late 1800's, their separate teams, armed against Native Americans and each other, dug up tons of bones from several sites. All in all, Marsh and Cope's rivalry — known as the Bone Wars — uncovered 136 new species. And their respective fossil displays generated excitement for dinosaurs the world over.\n\nIn the 1900's, enthusiasm for dinosaurs grew steadily, attracting the attention of the scientific community. Institutions such as the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the American Museum of Natural History assembled dig teams, which uncovered many rich bone beds in North America (as did their counterparts overseas). New sites in Utah revealed several different species, including "Camarasaurus," "Apatosaurus," and "Stegosaurus;" "Tyrannosaurus rex" remains were found in Montana and baby Coelosaurs in New Mexico.\n\nIn recent decades, dinosaur research continues, but the emphasis has shifted from finding and classifying these animals to analyzing and reconstructing their lives and habitats. In the late 1960's, Robert Bakker proposed that these ancient creatures may well have been as agile and energetic as warm-blooded animals. In the mid 1970's, Peter Dodson, along with James Farlow, hypothesized that they used their horns to attract the attention of females, as well as for fighting. And in the late 1970's, Jack Horner made history by identifying some of the first dinosaurs nests and eggs in North America. These important "Maiasaura" fossils helped to determine that some species nested in colonies and cared for their young.\n\nIn the past few years, several paleontologists, including Ken Carpenter, Phil Currie, and William Coombs, have identified juvenile dinosaurs that were previously thought to be adults; and David Weishampel has theorized that some dinosaurs probably used their crests and nasal passages to create sound. Each day, scientists working all over the world, in the field and in research labs, help to redefine the meaning of the world "dinosaur."

Work on form... Choose a professional you like and copy or get a tennis instructor or someone who knows what he or she is doing to teach you.

It would be best NOT to sneak out. If you have a cell phone, tell your parents you are going to a friends house for a while. IF they need you you can answer the phone and they won't be any the wiser that you are not where you said you would be, but they will know you aren't home and IF there is an emergency, you won't get busted. If you do not have a cell phone, it would be a little harder but tell them you are going to go to a friend's for a girl's night at the movies. Leave a number with them so they can reach you and make sure you tell them the friend has a brother who may answer the phone. Works for my former sister-in-law everytime.

Just like having two music notes that are not harmonious with each other they cause distortion or in the parady given a bad chord.

what is the cutoff age for a person to go to medical school?

I don't believe there is a cutoff age.  My mother started when she was 35, which was considered pretty old at the time, but she graduated and is still practicing at 60.

How were the Indians involved in mission Santa Barbara.?

I like your question. (I have a special interest in California history.) The Santa Barbara mission is my favorite of all 21 missions, too. \n\nThe Chumash Indians worked on the water reservoir and it is still part of the city water system today. I think what sets this mission apart from the rest is that the native Indians had a good relationship with the Fathers at this mission - so many of the Fathers in charge of missions were quite cruel to the Indians. Not so in Santa Barbara.\n\nBTW, have you been to see the History Gallery at the Oakland Museum? If you are interested in California's history, you will enjoy it immensely.


Has politics always been so divisive (see details)?

I lean to the right however it is not cut and dry. Frankly I think if Bush is the best the republicans can come up with and Kerry is the best the democrats can come up with then maby we are in trouble. I don't hate Bush by no means, in fact if you read my answers you will find that I spend alot of time defending him. I think it is kinda like at work how everybody complains about the boss and thinks they can do a better job. Here is my attempt to answer your question; It basically comes down to democrat or republican when you vote. So even if you don't agree with everything one or the other is doing you have to figure what is the most important for you and support that. For instance I am passionatly against gun control and abortion so voting for a democrat is probably not going to happen, unless the republcans were pro something that I felt even more passion for. My next point is people who agree with somethings and not others usually feel so strongly about that one thing that it clouds there judgment on everything else. For example anti-war liberals who think the president is violating our civil liberties by tapping phones and emails. They can't get over the fact that they hate the war and so there for they hate Bush and any and everything he says or does. They fail to realize the lengths past presidents have gone to during a time of war. Lincoln had a man who was running for office in the north deported and shipped to the south. Think about the violation there. Prevented the process of a free election. He is widly reguarded as one of the best Presidents of all time. So as I sit here knowing that my dislike of liberals is strongly polerized to the right I have to say it is because I feel so strongly about some core issues.

What is infinity, hw its described, hw its seen or any action?

"In general, infinity is the quality or state of endlessness or having no limits in terms of time, space, or other quantity. In mathematics, infinity is the conceptual expression of such a "numberless" number. It is often symbolized by the lemniscate (also known as the lemniscate of Bernoulli), which looks something like the numeral 8 written sideways.   This symbol for infinity was first used in the 1600s by the mathematician John Wallis.\n\nInfinity can be defined as the limit of 1/x as x approaches zero."\n\nAs for how infinity is seen - it isn't. By definition, it has no limits.  And living in a 3-dimensional world, where everything has height, length and width, we can't even truly comprehend infinity.


what character of a person who are born 24 August(virgo)?

Virgo tend to be shy and somewhat nervous, and they may be undemonstrative or repressed. But they are practical and logical, and they're skilled at seeing all sides of a situation. Virgo brings their skills and talents together for the good of others. Virgo is the Sign of Service. Despite their inherent modesty, people born under Virgo are industrious and efficient when working for a good cause. They are neat and well organized. \n\nVirgo prefers to explore subjects more deeply. They are very good at understanding what people are saying beneath the surface words of their communication. Detailed and precise, people born under Virgo tend too be neat and exacting, but sometimes petty and overly fussy. At the other end of the scale, some Virgos can be sloppy. Generally, though, they are dedicated to meticulous cleanliness and can be compulsively tidy. Many Virgos have an excellent head for business, relying on logic rater than ego or emotion to make their deals. They are reliable, practical, and diligent, but they can sometimes seem picky or over-critical to people who aren't as discriminating as they are. Because of their responsibility and attention to detail, people born under Virgo tend to be perfectionists. They may worry too much about small details, and they can seem demanding and critical. Their analytical nature and attention to duty can seem like nitpicking or pettiness if the people around them don't understand Virgo's desire for perfection. \n\nThe great strength of the Virgo-born is in their attention to detail and their desire to be of service. They pick up on the little things that most other people miss. \n\nTheir commitment to helping others makes them one of the most giving characters of the Zodiac.

When you recieve junk mail and   press  "remove from mailing list" do you really get removed?

I agree with tendersighs - I wish we could do something about spam that actually worked.\n\nSpammers know we dont want to be bothered with their junk so shouldnt we have a right to not get bothered by it?  Shouldnt spammers have to pay you for your time and annoying you? They are worse than tv commercials, and commercials have no effect on your tv- but spam can mess up your pc\n\nI dont know about anyone else, but these spammers will just hit you with a million different techniques and names no matter what rules you set in your email- unless you only accept mail from people you know- butdont we actually know way more people than we can remember when we are setting these rules= so how much gets sent to junk mail that isnt?

Sharon Christa Corrigan McAuliffe (September 2, 1948–January 28, 1986) was an American teacher from New Hampshire who was selected from among more than 11,000 applicants to be the first teacher in space. She perished in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.


What do you think about Satanism in modern music ?

In the eighties and early nineties, Satanism was mainly a way for a band to look cool.  For example, Slayer has always been a band that has had an "evilish" sound, but the lead singer, Tom Araya, is a devout Catholic.  The lead singer in Megadeth, Dave Mustaine is a conservative Christian.\nBut today, if a band is Satanic, they go right out and say it.  Marilyn Manson is a member of the Church of Satan, which is different than Satanism, believe it or not.  Many Scandinavian death metal bands are confessed Satanists (they've burnt down churches there to prove it).\nI don't think any bands pretend to be into any darker religious beliefs.  There have been some so-called "Christian" bands who have stated their beliefs as such to become popular with that niche group.  So, in a sense, there has been a total reversal from the eighties.

how do I send email with Outlook? I can't send messages unless I'm in my Yahoo account.?

Ivy, there are 2 totally different ways of accessing email: one is "Pop3", the other is "web-based".\n\nYahoo mail is web-based (as are hotmail and gmail, etc). This means you can be logged on to any computer anywhere, and as long as you sign in to YOUR Yahoo account then you can use it.\n\nBut the OTHER type of mail, POP3, is based on YOUR internet connection - and comes via your ISP (internet service provider).\nTHIS sort of email needs an email program like Outlook Express (or IncrediMail, Thunderbird, etc) to process it. (And does NOT need your web browser like Yahoo does!)\n\nI suggest perhaps you ask your ISP what email address THEY have allocated for you, then they'll also tell you their "POP3" and "SMTP" settings to set up in your Outlook Express.\n\nBut you can't use O.E. to do your web-based (i.e. Yahoo) mail - just as you cannot access your Pop3 mail via your Yahoo account.\n\nYou should decide WHICH you want - or no reason why you can't use both types, each with their own individual email address, AND each with their own unique way of accessing.\n\nIs your head spinning ? <lol>.\nGee, I sure hope I've answered the question I think you were asking ! ;-)

People in the 1800's married their cousins all the time. Some Christians will tell you God created other people for Adam and Eve's children to marry, but these others didn't get mentioned in Genisis.\n\nI can't help you there; I do know a ton of people in Monroe County VA, then after 1863 WV, married their first cousin.

Andrew Johnson, U.S. President \n\nBorn: 29 December 1808 \nBirthplace: Raleigh, North Carolina \nDied: 31 July 1875 \nBest Known As: President of the United States, 1865-1869 \n\nAndrew Johnson was a poor tailor in Tennessee whose wife taught him to read and write. A fast learner with a flair for oratory, he worked his way up to the U.S. Senate. In the Civil War he was the only Southern Democrat to support Abraham Lincoln, and was chosen for the vice-presidency in 1864. When Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, Johnson became President, but clashed with Radical Republicans, who held a majority in congress. They passed the Tenure of Office Act in 1867, restricting presidential powers, and when Johnson defied them, he was impeached in 1868. A few months later the Senate acquitted him by one vote. He was succeeded in office by Ulysses S. Grant.

A person qualifies for a motion to reopen on two main points-\n1. He/She did not receive proper notice of the hearing.\n2. There is new evidence that would make the order of deportation null and void.  i.e. someone who is being deported based upon a criminal conviction and that conviction was overturned.

Are larger women really as attractive as skinnier ones?

personally, i find a larger woman more attractive. i feel that naturally, women should be rounder, softer, and less toned than men. look at old art. the women had curves where they should. only recently has it become necessary (to others) that a woman be a stick figure. and, guys, let me tell you, your loss is my gain. you really dont know what you are missing.                                                 p.s. glad you got to keep the d's!


What is in your closet that you don't want anyone to know about?

First a comment: You have asked a lot of good questions that make a person think a little. I like that because normally I'm not much of a thinker. (More of a stinker)\n\nTo answer your Q: My mental closet has a lot of hidden spaces. I've had problems with porn addiction in the past and really hard to fight sometimes. Regrets of divorce that I have to hid from my kids everyday. Feelings of desparation, loneliness, and dispair that I hide from co-workers and friends. I always put on the happy face around them.\n\nAs for physical closet ... Just the pile of junk I keep in there. Maybe a pair of dirty underwear I forgot about. I'll have to go look at it and maybe clean it out.\n\nTTFN\nJamie


is it possible for a 16yr old to move out without parental consent under certain conditions of abuse?

If the teen has a family member they trust and can go to - then by all means go.  However, make sure that all forms of abuse have been documented (by writing in a journal and that the other family members can corroborate the documentation with photos of the physical abuse.)\n\nThe parents will be charged and it is NOT a civil matter that will be handled in Family Court - it becomes a Federal matter - and Child Abuse charges will be filed against the parents.  In many jurisdictions - the child will be placed with the other family member instead of being "placed within the system" - thus ending up in foster care.\n\nIf there is NO family member available - please call the following number.  It is toll free:\n\n1-800-4-A-Child\n\nMay God be with you and bless you.  Please, if possible, keep me appraised of what happens.

use sum and difference formulas to find sin 165 degrees?

It says use the sum and difference formulas to find sin(165). So you have two questions to answer.\n1) What do the sum and difference formulas look like.\n2) How can I rewrite 165 degrees as something that I can easily use in the sum and difference formulas.\n\nFor part 1, if you look in your book, you should find that sin(a+b) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b)\n\nFor part 1, you should know what the sin, cos, tan, etc. are for 0, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 135, 150, 180, etc.\n\nSo 165 = a + b = ? + ?, and you should be able to take it from here.


what are the envonmental problems of hydrosphere,the causes,effect on plants and animals and the solutions?

By hydrosphere are you talking about the water cycle? If so, then the problems involve water being an excellent solvent.  It dissolves many different things, some good but also many that are bad(pollutants). \nWe've historically used water as a dumping ground for those things we wanted to get rid of b/c it is so easy. Cleaning up the mess later, if possible, is expensive and difficult.

Some stars might have a solar system, but not all do.  Some stars are actually two "suns" orbiting around one another (called a binary star) but appearing to the unaided eye as a single star.  Some are even three stars together, such as alpha centauri, which is the closest "star" in the sky--though it is actually three stars that look like one.  Some are stellar clusters, where many of these "suns" are all bunched close enough to appear as one star.  Some are entire galaxies, with billions of stars, but so far away that they appear to be a single star from earth.  Some are stellar clusters, where many of these "suns" are all bunched close enough to appear as one star.\n\nSome things you might think are stars are actually planets.\n\nSome are dead "suns," where the fuel for the nuclear fusion that makes the sun burn has all been expended, leaving a big mass of iron, that glows white-hot for many years before turning dark.  If you look at these so-called "white dwarves" through a powerful telescope, you can see a faint ring of matter that has been blown away in the explosion that came when the star died.  Some stars are huge, and some are small.\n\nSome of the stars we have been able to see have solar systems of their own, which we detect by the slight wobble caused by the gravitational pull of the planet (or planets) as it orbits.


Does anyone know if there are grants available to start a business?

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

The old man, Joe Kennedy, enlisted the aid of the mafia and organized labor to get his son as Pres.  After coming to office, instead of assisting the mob ties, Jack appointed his brother as attorney general and went after organized crime.  J Edgar Hoover, head of the FBI, would not only not cooperate in this effort, which should have been the function of his organization, but hindered efforts, so the Kennedy bros were after his hide, too.  THis leads me to suspect that elements of the FBI as well as the mob were into the assassination and the coverup.  Wasn't it Dorothy Killgallin or Arlene Francis who had the only interview with one of the assassins and called a friend that night to say she would spill the beans and she died that night?  THen Marilyn Monroe had an affair with both Kennedys and had a diary and called a friend to say she was coming out with some secrets the next day and she died that night and the diary was nowhere to be found and her house was bugged, but nobody knew who bugged it.  THere are some very evil people in the US government who are guilty of many of the things that we have always accused the old SOviets of.

If a tree falls in a forest with no one aroung does the tree make noise?

The answer to this question entirely depends upon the person who is answering it AND upon their individual belief system.  If I say I believe the answer is "no", that has a certain meaning.  If I say that I believe that answer is "yes" that has an entirely different meaning.  Ultimately it is an existential question that addresses developmental issues of self/other (environment) and...existence.


I guess it matters how you measure the two. LINUX is a great operating system in many respects. It is more secure and gives you full control of what is installed, every process that runs, and every setting for your system. However, for most users, that level of control is unnecessary. Despite some wonderful advances in LINUX GUI options (Gnome etc.), Windows still has the more usable interface, and is easier to use for the average user.\n\nPersonally, I like OS X, which combines many of the best features of both LINUX and Windows. Actually, Windows has taken many of its features from Mac OS and OS X. Even the new Windows Vista incorporates many "new" features I have been using for a year now.

Diamond is one of the two best known forms (or allotropes) of carbon, whose hardness and high dispersion of light makes it useful for industrial applications and jewelry (the other equally well known allotrope is graphite). Diamonds are specifically renowned as a mineral with superlative physical qualities - they make excellent abrasives because they can only be scratched by other diamonds, which also means they hold a polish extremely well and retain luster. About 130 million carats (26,000 kg) are mined annually, with a total value of nearly USD $9 billion.\n\nThe name "diamond" derives from the ancient Greek adamas (αδάμας; "impossible to tame"). They have been treasured as gems since their use as religious icons in India at least 2,500 years ago—and usage in drill bits and engraving tools also dates to early human history. Popularity of diamonds has risen since the 19th century because of improved cutting and polishing techniques, and they are commonly judged by the "four Cs": carat, clarity, color, and cut. Although nearly four times the mass of natural diamonds are produced as synthetic diamond each year, the vast majority of synthetic diamond production remains small, imperfect diamonds suitable only for industrial-grade use, with gem-quality synthetic diamonds only recently becoming available.


What is the best way to make a creative flag with barely any colored paper?

You could try fabric, or raid the pantry - maybe you could cannabalize some cereal boxes or soup labels for more color?  If you have a needle or can punch through the flag, you could try "stitching" it with a slip of paper, or a shoe lace?


Is there going to be a US recession in 2006?

No, just general slowing followed by a significant decline in 2007. \n\nSpending in Iraq and Louisiana along with a continuation in consumer spending will carry 2006. Once real estate commences a decline and real estate refi $'s are not available to augment consumer spending and the budget deficiet eliminates the possibility of a tax cut as a stimulus then the consumer will no longer have the ability to carry the economy by spending. Escalating long term interest rates and weakness in the dollar compared to foreign currencies combined with continuation in budget deficeits will lead to major slowdown in foreign investment in the private and public sector (bonds). A prolonged recession will follow that will include significantly higher unemployment as corporations cut costs by continuing to outsource labor. \n\nThe fed will first stop the short term rate increases and then they will try to cut rates, but it will be too litle to late. Bush will go down in history as the weakest President of all time.


What 3 consecutive integers add up to 100?

If we solve by setting n as the smallest integer, n+1 as the second, and n+2 as the largest:\nn+n+1+n+2=100.\n3n+3=100\n3n=97\nn=32 1/3, so the other two integers are 33 1/3 and 34 1/3.  The answer has been posted but I thought showing the process might be of interest...but these are all not integers so this is a trick question.

Can I acess old newspapers like the Sacramento Bee online? If so how?

Not very many newspapers, the Sacto Bee included, have converted their old articles to searchable databases. I believe you can still go down to the Bee's offices (assuming you are in Sacramento, or nearby) and search their microfilm records. The Sacramento Public Library might also be a good source.


There is so much to do.  We just went through it for the 3rd time.  buying a house isn't a fun thing.  it is stressful but rewarding in the long run if you do your homework.  \n\nYou don't need to have a realestate agent.  We bought all three homes without using our own personal agent and we also sold both of our homes without any agent.  What you DO need to have, is a good lawyer to handle all the paperwork and contracts.  ( ours cost about $800) small investment but very worth it!!\n\nI would start looking for a home AT LEAST 3 to 4 months in advance of when you actually want to be moved in.  The hunting part can take 2 to 3 months even longer if your picky/ or there isn't much to choose from.  Then comes the closing process.  This is the time you get the mortgage loan, the title, the home inspection, and all other legal stuff out of the way.  Finally you will be ready to close on the home.  This is the day that was set by the bank, you and the seller for the ownership to change hands.  \n\nYou will need to have enough money in your bank to cover the down payment you will be putting - along with closing costs.  the average closing costs are about $5,000 to $8,000.  So you need to be ready for that.  \n\nI would suggest not to get in too deep. don't go for interest only loans, they are a bad idea.  If you can't afford a house with a regular fixed rate mortgage you should probably hold off until you are finacially ready.  \n\nThere is just so much more than what I posted above.  If you are serious about buying a home - you should start researching it many months in advance so that you will not be in over your head and get taken advantage of. \n\nGood luck

I would prefere to get them the moment they die so I could bleed them out so I could have something to drink to go with my meal.


I think the first thing you need to do is determine what you are trying to accomplish with your website. After that, build it using either Dreamweaver or FrontPage. Then, when you are ready to put it online, get a hosting company. I recommened http://www.hostingmyweb.com . As a matter of fact, they actually provide you with a bunch of templates to use as well. All you need to do enter the message on each page. Otherwise, if you are trying to learn how to program website, http://www.w3schools.com/ has all of the tutorials you need.

If you could have personally witnessed one event in history, what would you want to have seen?

This may sound sick, but maybe a gladiator exhibition at the Coliseum in Rome. Have you seen the movie Gladiator? I also would have loved to be on the first trip to the moon or on Christopher Columbus's first trip to the Americas. It's kind of sad that at this stage in history we think we know everything. I guess there are always other planets and biological discoveries, but somehow those don't equate to discovering the old "new frontier."

What's a simple way to start with investment in mutual funds?

Yes this is true. Contact the mutual fund company or go to their website and print off an application. You can choose how much you want to deposit monthly. Since you are just beginning I would recommend a good balanced fund. American Funds has a great balanced fund but you have to go through a financial adviser.


Are you looking forward to the Winter Olympics?

It's a slang term for the daytime serial drama, a type of series that usually airs on weekdays in the daytime, without any break (such as summer for prime time shows).  As the first answer on this question, these shows are usually about two or more families and their problems with each other, along with the constant forming and ending of relationships.  They're known for melodramatic plotlines being some of the longest running shows on television (Guiding Light is the longest soap opera, being told for over 60 years including radio time).
