how did the mississippi river create louisiana's coastal wetlands?

The Mississippi River drains most of the North American continent and carries a huge sediment load of clay, silt, sand, and even gravel sized clasts all the way to its mouth. As the river opens into the ocean at the delta the velocity of the water slows and the ability of the river to carry sediments decreases, creating a huge sediment buildup at the mouth of the river. Other processes near the mouth of the river that gradually build the delta and coastal wetlands are from periodic flooding of the river. When the river flows over its banks during flood it carries these sediments out onto the flood plain where they settle out of the water. This process has been going on for millions of years and has built much of the coastal area of Louisiana, just as other rivers along the Gulf Coast have built the Texas shoreline and progressively moved it forward into the Gulf. \n\nThe Mississippi has not always been contained by levee systems, and when allowed to flow naturally the mouth of the river has migrated back and forth across the Louisiana coastal plain. At present there is speculation that the river, if allowed, would begin flowing across the Achafalaya area rather than taking the path it now takes to the sea. \n\nYou might be interested to know that the sediment pile created by the Mississippi River is over 30,000 feet deep along the Louisiana coastline.

There are many theories. The most common ones:\n\n1. The term 86 or 86'd has its origins in NYC, where people committed suicide by jumping from the observation deck of The Empire State Building on the 86th floor before a safety fence was installed.\n\n2. The United States military has what is called the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Article 86 of the UCMJ is Absence Without Leave (AWOL)\n\n3. Originated during the Korean war. "Eighty-six" refers to the jet fighter North American F-86 Sabre. Whenever an F-86 shot down a airplane during a dogfight it had been "eighty-sixed"\n\n4. The origin of this term "eighty-sixed" refers to the standard height of a door frame (86 inches). Once you were thrown out the door, you were "86'ed"

From our ignorance(about science).\nIsaac Newton said of himself near the end of his life, "I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all un- discovered before me."

i had a wierd dream, and i need someone to help me figure this out?

OK, here we go...\nAccording to Freud\nThe Snake is a phallic symbol, the legs emphasizing this.\nThe strange roads, if they are forking to the right and left, the right symbolizes moral goodness and purity, whle the left symbolizes deviance and perversion. Mom and Dad would represent guiding figures, possibly in an antagonistic fashion. The snke biting the 4 month old probably sybolizes the act of intercourse. That's according to Freud.\nA less sexually charged interpretation is that:\nThe Snake with legs symbolizes deception, it biting your child most likeley symbolizes that you fear your child will be hurt. The strange roads represent a period of uneasiness in your life, and the Parents represent the authority and guidance to help you along.

How do I make my wireless router securied so that my neighbor's can't get free internet from me?

1. Disable SSID broadcast because it sends tells outsiders that you have a wireless network available.\n2. Enable MAC address filtering.  Each wireless card has it's own unique ID.  Filtering makes it so that only your friends' computers can connect.  However, a good hacker can bypass this.\n3. Enable the use of a WEP or WPA encryption key.  This will scramble the data as it travels through the air so outsiders can't eavesdrop.  However, you'll have to share this key (string of characters) with your friends before they connect.  Also, WEP keys are weak and can be cracked by persistent hackers of moderate skill.

healing wound on lower left leg and ankle,i don't have diabetes,the wound does not respond to normal tx.?

i have been a nurse for a long time. When i saw this question i was concerned for you. please see your dr. he will probably check for circulation problems or maybe you have a bacteria in the wound that the antibiotic won't kill. It should be cultured right away. This takes about 3 days to see any growth and to be able to determine what kind of bacteria is in the wound. Please look for red marks going up your leg. also check to see if the area is red and warm. if you see the red marks or it is red you should get to the e.r. Good luck. My guess is that you just need the right antibiotic. Good luck.

Be honest, are you a racist? Please explain yourself.?

I try to see the individual and not the creed, but it can be hard.  Sometimes I get frustrated and generalize, but this is due to hurt and persecution at their hands in the past.  It isn't any particular human race or creed really, it's complicated to explain it all and I don't know if I could go into it here because it's considered so "out there" by mainstream society.  It's more like "specieism".  Screw it.  Screw hiding.  I don't care who laughs.  Make your jokes or whatever.  I'm an abductee and sometimes I don't like aliens, and yes, that does count as predudice.  So yes, at times I am "rascist".  I try not to be because I know that it isn't right and they're just people taking orders to do this s**t, but I'm just so f**king angry.

Movies come out on DVD about six months later? Why?

Movies make most of their money at the box office.  They want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to see it in the theater before they release the video.\n\nOnce the video comes out, people aren't going to see it in the theater anymore and they make less money from the sale of videos.  Instead of charging you every time you see it like in the theater, you can buy it once, watch it as many times as you want, with at many people you want for about the same price as one or two movie tickets.  Plus, the retailer, distributor, manufacturer, and marketers all need to share that money.

Why are the equinoxes on the 21 Mar & 21 Sep even though different # days from Mar to Sep vs Sep to March?

You have the dates wrong, and the dates do shift a bit.  The vernal equinox is usually March 20 but sometimes March 19.  The autumnal equinox is usually September 22 but sometimes September 23.  Theay are always half a solar year apart.  The shift has to do with the fact that the solar year is approximately 365-1/4 days long.  It's the same reason we have leap year.  I hope this answer helps!

Why don't people stand upside down when standing on the South Pole?

If you define up as the direction towards the sky, and down as the direction a ball will fall when dropped, then there is no difference when you stand on the north pole, south pole or anywhere in between.\n\nThe Earth is spherical so Earth's gravity pulls in the same relative direction no matter where you are, down towards the center of the planet, so that makes down always towards your feet.\n\nAnd also since the Earth is spherical the sky will always be above your head, up. \n\nSo there is no difference in upside down or right-side up based on where you are on the Earth.

How hot can water to get (in degrees Celcius)?

It mainly depends on the pressure (if we are talking about pure water). The higher the pressure, the higher the boiling point - it can be much lower (ex. high in the mountains) or much higher than 100 degrees C (the boiling point under normal atmospheric pressure). If we don't talk about pure water, then adding other chemicals (for example, table salt - sodium chloride) can raise the boiling point as well.

How were men conditioned to become providers of a single woman for their whole life?

Thousands of years ago, subsistence depended on strength. Men had more strength, because of their higher levels of testosterone. But these same higher levels, prompted him to have a higher sexual drive.\n\nWomen discovered that, and started to use this on their favor. They started to control men, and with the advent of civilization, to write laws to give legitimacy to this situation.


On what basis are the days on which Christian marriages are to be conducted chosen?

There is no "blanket rule", so it comes down to guidelines from the specific denomination, and at times, availability of a pastor or the specific facility.  E.g. always booked on Sundays for regular services, very buys on Saturdays with services or preparations for Sunday, the pastor is tired on Mondays, and needs a "one day breather".\n\nIf you have a specific church/facility in mind, ask them for their guidelines/availabilities, and reasons for it.


Why is the Rose Bowl game being held on January 4, 2006 instead of January 2 directly after the Rose Parade?

Why do they think Bin Laden is in Pakistan?

It is not known where Bin-Laden is, but it is true he is often believed to be in Pakistan. \n\nPakistan is not necessarily cooperating with the US. On a large scale, they are. But at the local levels, there is widespread sympathy for Bin-Laden and terrorists. Remember that Pakistan is near many of the Middle Eastern trouble spots- Palestine, Afghanistan, and Iraq. \n\nFor a clear example of what I mean, recall the al-Zarqawi near-capture. Pakistan's troops surrounded a village believed to house al-Zarqawi, the number one man in the Iraq insurgency. US politicians and military leaders asked to send American troops to capture him. Pakistan refused. A day later, when the Pakistan Army moved in, they found Zarqawi had escaped through their lines. This could not have happened without sympathizers. Also, the fact Pakistan refused to cooperate shows shaky loyalties.\n\nYou are right in saying Iran is very hostile. But everyone is watching Iran because of nuclear weapons now, and Iran knows it. They are fanatics, but they are not stupid. I doubt Iran would want the immense world pressure of housing Bin-Laden, because no country REALLY wants an all-out war with the United States of America.\n\nI think, also, that questioned villagers in Afghanistan are mostly indicating that Bin Laden is in Pakistan. \n\nRemember, civilians are not told everything. I bet the CIA and military intelligence has a lot more data on Bin Laden than we do. US troops conduct regular sweeps for terrorists in Afghanistan, and their information brings us steps closer to finding the mastermind of 9/11.


What is a neutron bomb and how it works?

"Tactical neutron bombs are primarily intended to kill soldiers who are protected by armor. Armored vehicles are very resistant to blast and heat produced by nuclear weapons, but steel armor can reduce neutron radiation only by a modest amount so the lethal range from neutrons greatly exceeds that of other weapon effects. The lethal range for tactical neutron bombs can exceed the lethal range for blast and heat even for unprotected troops. Armor can absorb neutrons and neutron energy, thus reducing the neutron radiation to which the tank crew is exposed, but this offset to some extent by the fact that armor can also react harmfully with neutrons. Alloy steels for example can develop induced radioactivity that remains dangerous for some time. When fast neutrons are slowed down, the energy lost can show up as x-rays. Some types of armor, like that of the M-1 tank, employ depleted uranium which can undergo fast fission, generating additional neutrons and becoming radioactive. Special neutron absorbing armor techniques have also been developed, such as armors containing boronated plastics and the use of vehicle fuel as a shield."\n\nreference: http://www.virtualschool.edu/mon/Outlaws/faq1\n\n"Also called ENHANCED RADIATION WARHEAD, specialized type of small thermonuclear weapon that produces minimal blast and heat but which releases large amounts of lethal radiation. The neutron bomb delivers blast and heat effects that are confined to an area of only a few hundred yards in radius. But within a somewhat larger area it throws off a massive wave of neutron and gamma radiation, which can penetrate armour or several feet of earth. This radiation is extremely destructive to living tissue. Because of its short-range destructiveness and the absence of long-range effect, the neutron bomb would be highly effective against tank and infantry formations on the battlefield but would not endanger cities or other population centres only a few miles away. It can be carried in a Lance missile or delivered by an 8-inch (200-millimetre) howitzer, or possibly by attack aircraft.\n\nIn strategic terms, the neutron bomb has a theoretical deterrent effect: discouraging an armoured ground assault by arousing the fear of neutron bomb counterattack. The bomb would disable enemy tank crews in minutes, and those exposed would die within days. U.S. production of the bomb was postponed in 1978 and resumed in 1981."\n\nreference: http://www.britannica.com/seo/n/neutron-bomb/

Dave Chappel is recognized as one of the most prominent comedians around at this time, with his show 'Dave Chappel Show' catching all the lime light. But his comedy, which skewers racial stereotypes and slurs, is not appriciated by everyone. \n\nhe comedian stunned fans and the entertainment industry when he abruptly left during production of the third season of Chappelle's Show. He spent two weeks in South Africa before returning home to his 65-acre farm near Yellow Springs, and then returned to standup comedy. His decision triggered reports that he had mental or drug problems, which he denied. On May 11, news sources (most notably Entertainment Weekly) reported that Chappelle had checked himself into a psychiatric facility in South Africa. Chappelle denies this. On May 14, Time Magazine announced that one of their reporters had interviewed Chappelle in South Africa, and the comedian said no psychiatric treatments were occurring or necessary. Chappelle reportedly went to South Africa to purify himself and to do some soul searching. Chappelle has also said he was unhappy with the direction of his show.


New Delhi also called Dilli. Delhi, where a empire rose and fell before the dawn of history; where citadels of emperors appeared and disappeared; a city of mysterious eternity whose old ruins proclaim a majestic and imperial past and whose present pulsates vibrantly with the ever flowing life of India. The eternal Jamuna bears witness to the glorious and tumultuous 5,000 year old history of Delhi. A history which begins with the creation of Indraprastha by the Pandavas and the transformation of this barren gift of the Kauravas into an idyllic haven.\n\nA history which encompasses all the various kings and emperors who fixed their royal citadels here-- Indraprastha, Lal Kot, Quila Rai Pithora, Siri, Jahanpanah, Tughlakabad, Ferozabad, Dinpanah, Delhi Sher Shahi or then Shahjahanabad. but, combined and integrated into one, these 'new cities' have always been called Delhi and howsoever many names it may have acquired, Delhi has always been intrinsically identified with power and imperial sway. There have been at least eight cities around modern Delhi, and the old saying that whoever founds a new city at Delhi will lose it has come true every time -- most recently for the British who founded New Delhi in 1911.\n\n\n \n\n The historic Purana Qila, which has stood witness to Delhi's rejuvenation, periods of anarchy, and the rise & fall of empires, brings alive history of the capital. Amidst the tranquility of the splendidly panoramic environs of Purana Qila, Delhi's historic and legendary past come to life. After Shah Jahan built Red Fort the attention of administration shifted to gorgeous palaces of the fort. Today the fort is open for the public but only limited area can be accessed. More than half of the fort area has been taken over by the Army. But even what is open to visit reminds one of the splendour and lavish life style which our rulers lived. Delhi has seen the death of many empires and resisted bloody attempts to eliminate her. Nadir Shah had ordered his soldiers to plunder and massacre Delhi. It is said that he got so much wealth from Delhi that he was not able to carry in home. Abdali and Taimur Lane were no different they had tried their best to demolish the city of Delhi but it was some kind of a boon which helped it to regain its lost glory each time Delhi was plundered.\n\nDelhi was the focal point for the first war of independence in 1857. Though the revolt did not reach its desired conclusion, Delhi became a thorn in the eyes of the British. Not only in ancient times or the mediaeval period, Delhi has been the center of any activity at all times. As the Britishers shifted their capital from Calcutta to Delhi, all the activities during the freedom struggle were directed towards Delhi. Thus, Delhi also bears the marks of the freedom struggle. The ultimate goal of the Azad Hind Fauz during the freedom struggle was to capture Delhi and established Swaraj. The slogan 'Dilli Chalo' is still used by leaders and political parties when they oraganise any rally or demonstration. It was the hosting of the tricolour at Red Fort in Delhi which marked a chapter in the history of India


I don't think double stranded probe is a good idea. You can isolate the mRNA, then synthesize its complementary strand by using RNApolymerase. This complementary strand can be used as probe.\n\nYou can also prepare synthetic polynucleotide deduced from the sequence which would be complementary to cDNA. Like the codon for Leu may be TTA, TTG, CTT, CTC, CTA, CTG. So the corresponding complementary DNA sequence can be AAT, AAC, GAA, GAG, GAT, GAC. Actually you have to design and synthesize many probes using each of these 3 nucleotide sets, then if the cDNA is mixed, the complementary sequence will bind..... making an effective probe.\n\nYou can go through An Introduction to Genetic Engineering By Nicholl.

Definitely:\n\nMany noted critical historians, such as Shaye Cohen, John Dominic Crossan, Paula Fredriksen, John Meiers, E.P. Sanders, and Geza Vermes argue that Jesus lived from about 8-4 BC/BCE to 29-36 AD/CE. The main sources regarding his life and teachings are the four canonical Gospels from the New Testament, which took written form some decades after his death. They depict him – among many other things – as a Jewish Galilean preacher and healer who was at odds with the Jewish religious authorities , and who was crucified outside of Jerusalem during the rule of the Roman procurator Pontius Pilate. After his death numerous followers spread his teachings, and within a few decades Christianity emerged as a religion distinct from Judaism.\n\nBeyond the historical information accepted by most secular scholars, the gospels make various additional claims about Jesus: that Jesus was the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament (or Hebrew Bible); that he was the son of God; that his birth by Mary was virginal; and that after his crucifixion he rose from the dead, and then ascended into heaven. Most Christians hold that the Gospels also attribute divinity to Jesus; however, others hold that the Gospels are equivocal on the subject. Many Christians and some scholars believe that the accounts in the New Testament are historical facts, though others maintain that different parts have different degrees of accuracy, and a few hold Jesus did not exist at all.

How to apply value to Time to Market? What is the value associated with Time to Market?

it actually depends on the product that you would like to market. there are other products that take a short time to market simply because they are easy to sell and attract customers. these products can sell themselves (basic commodities and the like). \ni suggest you study similar products in the market, the behaviour of these products, how they are sold, the strategies used by the company selling these products, among other considerations. in other words, studying the behaviour of your future competitors would be a good source of information.\n\njust my two cents.. :)


Absolutely, but not in Olympic play.\n\nAs a spectator sport, hockey could use some livenin' up, and fistfights do just that.

How does multicasting work ? does a node on my network need to have a Class D address specifically?

In order to enable IP Multicasting, all the nodes on your network (or at least the ones that need to recieve the multicast packets) need to be listening for packets on a certain address (from the Class D range). \nThe sending computer will then start sending data packets to that address, and all the computer should pick them up. The Multicast-HOWTO below is probably a good place to start if you want to set something like this up.

Can you get AIDS by using someone elses toothbrush?

-if the AIDS person does not brush much, or their meds effect their gums, they could have soft gums and bleed into their toothbrush.\n-if you and said person did not rinse same toothbrush adequatly.\n-if toothpaste itself was not used by you.\nit's a lot of if's...\nprobably the same risk as french kissing someone with AIDS.\ni would not obsess over the possibility, but just to be 100% sure;\nthere is a cheap new Oral AIDS test called OraQuick from OraSure with a less than 1% false positive rate provided by most clinics/hospitals now.  contact one first to determine how long after possible exposure you should get tested.\nbut again, this is all Very Very Remotely possible.

how do i access info on my insurance as to what they will cover?

Some insurers have a MyInsuranceComany.com website of some sort, where you can find out what coverage you have.  However, I have never found them to be useful for specific procedures or tests.  \n\nUsusally, you end up having to call them and sit on hold while they look through their manuals.


are there any fat burners out there that really work?

Buy some 1.5oz Detour bars from your local grocery store.  I get mine from Wawa.  It has Whey protein that fills you up.  Do yogurt for breakfast.  Have a Detour bar for lunch.  Get 2 Wendy's salads at night, one for dinner and one for a snack.  Do that for 3 weeks.  After you get down to your ideal weight, stick with the bars for lunch to maintain weight.


do I turn on system restore after debugging?

I would disagree with the other person.  Sure, it doesn't work all the time, which is why I recommend backup or imaging software, but it does work often enough to make it worth your while.\n\nFor example, yesterday, my system stopped being able to access the Internet.  Used system restore to go back to the restore point in the morning, and it worked fine.

Variables in math not only represent numbers but any object. For instance, you can define a function f such as : f(x)=a*x\na and x are variables. \n\nBut you can also have equations where the variables are not numbers but functions (like differential equations).\nFor instance, find a function f that verifies :\nf+f'=1\n\nBasically, a variable is an object which can have different values, and the interest of a problem is to find the properties of an other object, depending of the values of this variables.\n\nA very simple example might be :\n\nLet's a and b be two numbers. How can a and b be chosen so that the equation : "a*x+b=0" has one or more solutions.\nHere, a and b are variables.


how many women ambassadors are there at the United Nations?

Firefox: Is possible to detach a tab as a new window?  Is there an extension that does this?

I'm not a user of any Firefox extensions, but you can simply drag a tab into a blank Firefox window to display that tab's contents in the new window. \n\nThis has just been tested in Firefox 1.5 to work. It's not a one-step process though, since first you have to open a new window (Ctrl-N) then drag the tab to the new one.


Is there any way i can find out my credit score, not just the report, for free?

There are, but I would advise some caution.  One site is www.creditexpert.com which is run and operated by Experian.  You sign up online and give them your credit card number and personal information, try out a credit monitoring service designed to help prevent identity theft, and in return receive a free credit report and credit score.  The only problem is that you must cancel the service before the free trial ends (usually 30 days).  If you forget, they charge your credit card automatically for 1 year of credit monitoring service.  Also, to cancel the service you have to call the company and wait on hold around 15-20 minutes.  I would actually recommend getting a free copy of your credit report from www.annualcreditreport.com and then paying only around $5 extra for your credit score per credit bureau.


how much exercise, sleep, and nutrition do children need to maintain a healthy lifestyle?

According to the 2005 dietary guidelines from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), all children 2 years and older should get 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise on most, preferably all, days of the week.\nMost kids between 5 and 12 get about 9.5 hours a night, but experts agree that most need 10 or 11 hours each night. Sleep is an individual thing and some kids need more than others.

Why do other countries hate Americans and their government so much?

America has a nasty habit of getting involved in matters that do not directly affect us.  This is a huge cause of contention with other nations.  When America is so divided (and not united as promised), they feel that we shouldn't have any right in telling them how to live.  Americans are also very self-involved.  We think of ourselves first and others last.  Americans also tend to think in terms that the world revolves around them not realizing that there are many other cultures out there.  We forget that other countries have different laws and standards than America and generally, Americans just don't care.  This is why other countries have hatred towards Americans and the government.


what is the flat-out number one trait that guys look for in girls?

I can't speak for all guys (and I wouldn't trust anybody who claims they do)\n\nThere are just as many number one traits as there are guys. Guys tend to say one thing when they are around each other and something completely different when in the company of girls.\n\nSociologists say that the top traits that attract human males to females are: a smile, clear skin, shiny hair, a waist to hip ratio of 0.7 (waist 70% of hip measurement) and general symmetry throughout the body.

How many years does it take to become a History teacher?

That all depends on where you plan on being a teacher at. Most K-12 will require at least a bachelors. College levels will require at least a masters if not a PhD. Remember this is just your education to become a good teacher it will take many years and a lot of maturity to present history to young minds so that they will absorb it like a sponge. In my 24 years of schooling I can honestly say that I only had 1 year that my history teacher was impressive enough to make me want to come to class and learn each day. If this is your dream go for it great teachers are hard to find.


what steps need to be taken when an individual receives a large sum of inheritance money?

Most people are required to enlist the aid of a financial advisor.  This is a very good thing as it allows you to invest the money, instead of letting it sit in your bank account.\n\nIf this is court awared inheritance, then the court will most likely require a financial advisor.\n\nAside from the investing, what the person whants to do with the money is up to them. There really isn't any other steps to worry about.\n\nYou don't need to tell the government, you don't need to include it on your taxes unless you want to, and frankly, other than investing, there isn't much more for you to do, aside from get the check, cash it, invest it, and live.\n\nDon't go overboard, and spend all the money at one time, mind you.  Spend well, and leverage your money the best you can.

If the mother gets the child support all year for a child,why can`t the father get the income tax?

Because regardless of whether the man pays his child support on time or not, all divorced fathers are perceived as dead beat dads...as with all things that need to be fixed in this country we put the most emphasis on the obvious misdeed that the monority does, and not the majority.  Since the mother, or father in some cases, (very few), doesn't have to report the support as income, the father, (or here again mother in a few cases), should be able to deduct the amount paid....for those of you naysayers, it might just make the ones who don't pay, start paying.....


Rapid eye movement (REM) is the stage of sleep characterized by rapid saccadic movements of the eyes. During this stage, the activity of the brain's neurons is quite similar to that during waking hours. Most of the vividly recalled dreams occur during REM sleep. It is the lightest form of sleep, and people awakened during REM usually feel alert and refreshed.\n\nREM sleep is so physiologically different from the other phases of sleep that the others are collectively referred to as non-REM sleep.\n\nDuring a night of sleep, a person usually has about four or five periods of REM sleep, which are quite short at the beginning of the night and longer at the end. It is common to wake for a short time at the end of a REM phase. The total time of REM sleep per night is about 90-120 minutes for an adult. However, the relative amount of REM sleep varies considerably with age. A newborn baby spends more than 80% of total sleep time in REM mode, while people over 70 years old spend less than 10%. The average is 20%.

Why do so many people complain about viruses and spyware?

Conrad,\nYou are asking how can we get users to become more resposible and take charge. \nThey are lazy.\nAs I have grown with this www, i have got a few nasties and sought out ways to eliminate the threat.\nI use all of the above, plus a few more.\nViruses have attempted to enter my system from Trusted Clients who have not upgraded their defenses.\nThe worst offender to date is Duke Energy form Charlotte, NC.\nThey just tell you it can't happen, and I have learned to accept only faxed or mailed job requirements/specifications from them when negotiating a contract.\nThis scenario only goes to show that Viruses/Spyware can come from any place. \nAgain,  thank you for posting a question in a way that hopefully will awaken at least one other user and take responsibility, letting others save time with scans, etc.

Condoms function as a method of contraception and sexually transmitted disease prevention. But few know the details of their evolution from linen pouch to liquid latex.\n\nCondoms are not a modern invention. These ancient contraceptives have been in use since the Egyptians first farmed with the rise and fall of the Nile way back in 1000 BC.\n\nEarly condoms were constructed of materials such as linen or goat's gut, and were used in Europe as a means of combating sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis.\n\nIn the Orient, the Japanese used thin leather and tortoise shell to fashion their contraceptives. The different varieties were known as the “Kawagata” or the “Kyotai,” the latter most likely the more painful of the two.\n\nThe Chinese tried to avoid infection by wrapping oiled silk paper around the penis, while Romans used tampons dipped in herbs and condoms made of goat's bladders.\n\nThe legendary 19th-century lover Casanova is said to have been a regular user of condoms for contraceptive and disease preventing purposes, and dubbed them “Redingote Anglais” (“English Riding Coats”).\n\nIt is unknown who invented the condom, or how it got its name. Popular folklore points to Dr. Condom or Conton, a court member of King Charles II. Legend suggests a reputed, well-meaning English army doctor, also dubbed Dr. Condom,

sarah is close, but as per a link i found its michigan with 90 light houses under construction


Yes. Thank goodness I had three witnesses too. It was on a hole that was only 170 yards, but what the heck. I had an opportunity to fill out a form at the clubhouse and answer questions about what type of club I used, what type of ball, shoes, glove, etc. It was fun and I had been playing for about six years when I did it. I originally thought I hit it past the green, but couldn't see until we looked in the hole. Fourth hole at San Jose Municipal Golf Course in California. Whee!

When we got home I would like you (her) to be in a sexy lingere, sexy panties and then let what ever happens from there happen.

how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

Very interesting question and after many years of careful research and study on this mysterious animal, I have come to the conclusion that if a wood chuck could chuck wood, it would most certainly be the strongest animal, next to human beings as in terms of lifting strength. As to the volume of wood could a wood chuck chuck, that is still in the testing mode out at area 51. Please be patient the results will be here shortly.


Is it true that if we knew the mass, velocity, and direction of every atom in the universe...?

Probably not.  There are several problems\n\n1) because of the Heizenberg(sp?) uncertainty principle to learn of the exact direction of an atom one would change it's original direction.\n\n2) even if we could know a priori all that information it would require a simulation machine the size of the universe to calculate everything exactly.\n\n3)  I think there are still events of randomness at the atomic level that cannot be predicted.


Is it legal to have back up for software?

Read the EULA (End User License Agreement) and look for details on copying. Most software will allow you to make one copy for backup purposes, but that means that it is not for installing on more than one computer. There are many different licenses, so if you are concerned about legality, you should read the EULA before doing anything.

I think the idea is really, really interesting.  I read a LOT about ghosts and hauntings when I was a kid.  And you can't prove that they don't exist because you can't prove a negative.\n\nHowever, as much as I would love for ghosts to exist, the more I know the more I realize that evidence for ghostly manifestations is probably explainable by non-ghostly, real, but ephemeral phenomena.\n\nFor example, I had a book on ghostly hauntings in England.  There were more scent "hauntings" than any other type, meaning that you would experience the haunting by getting a whiff of pipe smoke or bacon.   This can be explained by the fact that scents can be absorbed by porous materials such as wood and plaster.  After they are absorbed, they will disappear until meteorological conditions,  like high humidity, cause the scent to become airborne and be smellable again.  Given a very porous wall and a long-standing habit like pipe-smoking and you can get whiffs of smoke for geneartions.

what is difference between yahoo.com and yahoo.co.in can we create same id on both or one id work on both?

The only real difference between Yahoo.com and Yahoo.co.in is they are "country" versions. Yahoo.co.in is the India version of Yahoo.com and was created so people in India can find out their news, updates, entertainment as well as searches for Indian-related sites and issues.\n\nYour Yahoo ID works on all Yahoo!-owned sites, so no matter what Yahoo! site you use, you only need one to access your Yahoo! account!

If the core of a nuclear plant went critical(china syndrome) would it actually melt it's way to china?

All nuclear plants that are producing power must be "critical."  The plant is shut down when it is "subcritical."  A nuclear accident can occur if the reactor goes "supercritical."  A supercritical plant can release uncontrolled heat drying the core and melting it.  A melted core would fall by gravity toward the center of the world (like anything else that falls).  Since Canton OH was almost directly opposite Canton China on the globe, the core would fall toward China, thus the China syndrome.  Of course the core would have to melt its way past the plant barriers but would not release enough energy to reach China let alone deeply penetrate the earth.  For those with a wild imagination, China would also be protected by the massive molten layer in the center of the earth that surrounds the extremely hard metal core.  None-the-less, China Syndrome is a catchy phrase.

How long (time or days) would it take to reach level 2 in Y! answers ? Maths Please !?

The quickest way possible would be to write some incredibly good answers. If you sign up (100 points), write 10 answers (20 points), and vote 10 times (10 points), then you have 130 out of 250 needed points.\n\nTo make up the remaining 120 points, you need to hope that all your questions are chosen as best that same day (100 points). Then, you rate all your answers with a thumbs-up - (10 points for rating) (10 points for thumbs-up). Exactly 250 points!\n\nOf course, each answer that doesn't get a best answer can be compensated by lots of people giving thumbs-up to the answers that did. So, in theory, you can make level 2 the first day.


The distance between 2 wave crests is 3 meters.1 wave goes by every 5 sec. What is the waves speed?

.6 m/s.  and here's why:\nthe distance between two crests is the wavelength, and the "one wave goes by every 5 sec" is it's period.  The formula is v=fw where w(which is normally lambda, but i cant put greek letters on here) is wavelength, f is frequency, and v is velocity. you don't have frequency, but f=1/T where T is the period, so f would just be 1/5.  So then you go back to the first formula and multiply 3x(1/5) and you get 3/5 which is .6 m/s.\n\nAnd FYI, this formula does NOT include index if refraction and therefore it doesn't matter what medium the wave is traveling through.  Yes, velocity get's slower with a more dense medium, but the different medium would also make the frequency and period change, so therefore, the period you were given corresponds to whatever medium the wave is in.  There can only be one wave speed for that period/frequency with that wavelenth.  I mean, the 1/5 that we got for frequency means that 1/5 of a wave passes per second.  Now if each wave is 3 meters long, that means that we have to find 1/5 of 3 meters to fnd out how many meters of this particular wave passes per second.  1/5 of 3m (or 1/5 x 3) is 3/5(which is the answer, .6)  Meaning that the wave is passing by at a speed of 3/5(.6) meters per second.  I hope this helped you to understand the concept behind that formula :)


Seconding the eat right and exercise sentiment.  Ignore the fad diets and go for a calorie deficit.  If consume less energy (food) than you burn, you will lose weight.  Exercising just helps you stay fit, and also I find that when I exercise it is easier to stick towards healthier foods, although I still love my beer.

Is there ANY evidence that "God" exists?

Nope - it's all a 'personal' belief system. I quoted personal since many religions are an organized form of mind-control setup to benefit those in power at the 'head' of the religion or those leading the nation where the religion is being established. \n\nWhen everyone thinks alike they are much easier to control and influence into doing the things you want them to do. And the participants feel more at ease when all those around them feel and think the same way - it helps take the edge and unease away.\n\nJust look at how feverently organized religion trys to get it's followers to convert others.\n\nUpdate: Just had to address some points Raymond made below, specifically this part: \n"The one-celled animals reproduce by splitting, not sex. How could male and female be evolved into multicelled animals before they die from splitting? Did one Ameoba tell another, "Hey, why don't you become a female and I will be a male and we will have sex and produce baby ameobas."?\nAlso, how did evolution evolve pleasure during sex?"\n\nSex back in the day of one celled animals was not what you think it is, a male and a female interacting with some 'body' part that exchanges fluids. It's much more likely the first version of sex was the accidental exchange of RNA amongst an isolated community. That then gives that community genetic diversity and therefore gives them an advantage to survive environment change. If something then happens to wipe out all the other clones (based on their identical weakness to change) that reproduced by splitting, boom, sex has evolved as the dominant way to reproduce.\n\nAnd why do you think there is pleasure during sex? Just to make it feel good say you can say "Thanks God, that was awesome!"? Get real - ALL life on this planet has one universal drive - to reproduce and propogate the species. What would be the best way to ensure things reproduce - why - you might find those individuals that found it felt good, did it more, had more off spring, and after a few generations out number the rest of the population, so boom - now pleasurable sex has evolved. Take some responsibility for your own life and see the world and your place in it for what it is - or perhaps that is just too scary.


Was it Wilbert Robinson or was it Wilbert Roberston who sang "Kansas City"?

Actually, it wasn't either one.  Wilbert Harrison released "Kansas City" on Fury Records in 1959.  You may have heard the name "Wilbert Robinson" before, though... if you're an oldtime baseball fan.  Wilbert Robinson was a baseball player from 1886-1902 and manager from 1914-1931.


If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the "terminal"?

This is like asking why do they call it a "building" when its already built :P \n\nTo try to answer this question, lets look at the definition of word "terminal" . One of the meanings of terminal is "Of, at, relating to, or forming a limit, boundary, extremity, or end. " So the word signifies the end of a delivery route (which is again a meaning of the noun form of the word)\n\nWell, an airport is then seen as an end point of a communication route. (an end point thats used as both start and end points of journeys). \n\nThough yes, in the spirit in which this question has been asked, flying has never been safe enough. I wish you safe and happy jouenys at all "terminals".

What was the SECOND music video ever played on MTV?

Pat Benatar, "You Better Run."\n\nActually, though, it was five VJ introductions:\n\n"After the Buggles, the channel aired five spots introducing MTV's veejays (the spots were played in the wrong order). Then the next music video was broadcast -- the tune was "You Better Run" by Pat Benatar. Some fumbling and dead air followed these first two videos, as engineers and veejays scrambled to play videos in the right order."

It was given to you and is yours to do  whatever you want with it.  I see no problem in selling it, if that is what you want to do with your property.


When people lose weight, where does it go?

Back on its way through the carbon cycle.


are all religions the pathway to god? or is the christian god the only god and you will go to hell if don't

I believe there is only one way to God and that is through Jesus Christ. If you believe he died for you, saved you from your sins, and ask Him to forgive you, you will be saved. I'm really not interested in this question, I want you to believe. God is the only way to heaven and if you don't confess your sins to Him you will go to hell, but if you do you will  spend eternaty(sp) with Him in heaven.


How does one survive the Christmas period?

Giving something to someone because everyone else is caught up in the game (X-mas in the USA) is really quite selfish if you stop and think about it.  Is it for them? or is it for YOU?  Doing it so you don't look cheap?  Then you can resent her for putting you in debt for the rest of the year?  I suggest you give her something that is meaningfull.  Think about it.  Your time on this blue marble is very limited and that makes your time your most valuable posession.  Think about it.


Is anything that can possibly happen(with in reason)happening at every moment?

At first glance you would say that it is.  But when you really think about it, it is not possible.  For example, there is not a government leader being assassinated at every moment.  With smaller everyday things it may be true.


"Life is a long preparation for something that never happens"-is it true?

It is true IF you live your life in a constant state of expectancy, not realizing that every day brings in itself the seed for a fulfilling existence. "Life is what happens while you're busy making plans" - John Lennon, so just do whatever makes you feel happy and you won't have the time to think about gloomy quotes. I you (and everybody else, including me)welcome joy in your life and everything will flow from that.


You'll probably have to configure the router with specific DNS server addresses so that it can "query" those for DNS information. Do a search on googld for Public DNS servers to find the address for free/public DNS servers\n\nor call your Internet Service Provider.  They can help you fix it too.  \n\nI just configure DNS for each computer.  I like each computer to know exactly how to "get on the net" instead of having the computer depend on the router to tell it how.

why dont jehovahs witnesses beleive in holidays??????????

The Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate religious holidays because they have a strict reading of certain passages of the Bible.  For example, they do not celebrate Christmas, because the Bible does not command Christians to celebrate Christ's birth, but rather his death (Luke 22:19, 20).  There is no mention in the bible of early Christians celebrating Christmas or Easter.\n\nJehovahs don't celebrate birthdays, again because the only mention of birthday celebrations in the Bible is by non-Christians (Genesis 40:20-22; Mark 6:21, 22, 24-27)\n\nThe one religious holiday which Jehovahs do celebrate is the anniversary of Christ's death.

Yes and no; it is a product of fear because you are afraid of what will happen to you in this life and in the next, but it is also a product of evolution and a social norm.  It is a product of learning but part of learning morality is a fear of what will happen.  Also, morality is an extremely complex issue and sometimes, something that is morally right is more dangerous in the long run, so it can't be entirely the product of fear.  (Thanks for making me think)


Actually I support the church of the flying spaghetti monster, as described by venganza.org.  I believe that a giant spaghetti monster created the universe.  The website explains it way better than I can, but basically the world was created by an invisible flying spaghetti monster who requires everyone to dress like pirates and all natural disasters are because of the shrinking number of pirates. He also likes us to think the world is older than it really is and messes up carbon-dating with his noodly appendage.  we have many written volumes of his creation of the earth ,"none of us, of course were around to see it, but we have written accounts of it"  and my favorite part: "I think we can all look forward to the time when these three theories are given equal time in our science classrooms across the country, and eventually the world; One third time for Intelligent Design, one third time for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, and one third time for logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence"\n\nI also believe in the "Intelligent Falling" theory and think that it should be given equal time in all physics classrooms along with the unproven, ridiculous theory of gravity. Of course, all objects stay on the earth because God or some other more powerful being is pushing them down.

do u believe in aliens or other intelligent universal entities?

I'm absolutely confident there is life out there.  But I hope they have better things to do than draw designs in crops and play peek-a-boo with airline pilots and nerds.\n\nAnd we only look like we do because of the way life developed on Earth.  There is no reason to believe that aliens would look anything at all like us.  Unless of course we came from the same place at some time thousands of years ago and we adapted to Earths enviroment, then of course we could be somewhat similar.


Well Alcohol is a little lighter than water, and 1 gram of water is 1 mililiter.\n\nThere are 473 mililiters in 1 US pint so there are a little less than 473 grams of alcohol in a pint.\n\nNow keep in mind, your typical vodka is only 40% alcohol, wine is about 12% and most american beer is 3-5%.\n\nSo to get 30 grams of alcohol you would need to drink approximately 2 12 ounce american beers.

Why do guys always act  like they don't wanna be with someone, but they say they do want to be with them?

I am the perfect candidate to answer this one, I think. Maybe not, lol. I think I am.\n\nAnd I always front like I don't want to be with someone, but in fact I really do. Two reasons though: 1) I can be a little shy at times, especially after I haven't been around people for a while. 2) I feel like if people get the idea I am looking, that everybody will start trying to force me into dating someone's best friend's sister who I am not at all interested in meeting. I guess this way, I can walk around securely and pick out the ones I am interested in and the ones I am not.


i heard busch stadium was selling spaces on bricks from the old stadium . you can get your name on one, is th?

They are actually selling spaces on bricks for the new Busch Stadium, to be displayed with family names, in memoriam etc. They were selling for anywhere from $250 and up. You may be a bit too late to buy one, as they only set aside a certain number. Right before the demolition happened, people were leaving notes and signing bricks on the old stadium, and that may be what you were thinking of. Currently the website has autographed chairbacks for sale.

How old do you have to be to get a USA passport without parental consent?

It appears that a 14-year-old might be able to get a passport without parental consent.\n\nThe page listed below states that for minors 14 to 17, "for security reasons parental consent may be required".  I believe that they are mainly trying to prevent one parent from taking the child out of the country without the other parent's consent, but I would be surprised if there weren't questions about a minor appearing without consent.\n\nThe page listed below also contains a list of required documents.  Basically, it's a US birth certificate (with raised seal) and some government-issued (including school) photo ID OR someone with ID who has known you for 2 years and will attest to your identity.\n\nIt takes about 6 weeks before you receive your new passport and birth certificate back in the mail.\n\nAll first-time applications must be made in person.

what is the difference between C and C++?

C was the C++ predecessor. As it's name implies, alot of C remains in C++. Although not actually being more powerful than C, C++ allows the programmer to more easily manage and operate with Objects, using an OOP (Object Oriented Programming) concept.\n\nC++ allows the programmer to create classes, which are somewhat similar to C structures. However, to a class can be assigned methods, functions associated to it, of various prototypes, which can access and operate within the class, somewhat like C functions often operate on a supplied handler pointer.\n\nAlthough it is possible to implement anything  which C++ could implement in C, C++ aids to standarize a way in which objects are created and managed, whereas the C programmer who implements the same system has alot of liberty on how to actually implement the internals, and style among programmers will vary alot on the design choices made.\n\nIn C, some will prefer the handler-type, where a main function initializes a handler, and that handler can be supplied to other functions of the library as an object to operate on/through. Others will even want to have that handler link all the related function pointers within it which then must be called using a convention closer to C++.\n\nTo finish this discussion, C++ applications are generally slower at runtime, and are much slower to compile than C programs. The low-level infrastructure for C++ binary execution is also larger. For these reasons C is always commonly used even if C++ has alot of popularity, and will probably continue to be used in projects where size and speed are primary concerns, and portable code still required (assembly would be unsuitable then).

Do humans have a hormone that stimulate selfishness?

While I doubt that there is a single hormone that causes "selfishness", selfish behaviour is a survival trait giving an edge over competitors.\n\nSelfishness accordingly is found not only in humans but in all other life forms, too.\n\nSelfishness alone is not a good survival trait because taken too far it destroys the basis of survival.\n\nSocial systems transfer selfishness of the individual to selfishness of the community. Often this strategy has proved superior to individual selfishness, even though some individuals will not profit.

How can I change the font on my website to a custom font file I have using HTML?

To my best understanding of your question, I think you are asking "how to change the font on my web page using HTML?". I don't know whether it's what you intended to ask for, but anyway, I'll show you how:\n\n    \n    \n    Your words go here...\n    \n    \n\nOR\n\n    \n    \n    Your words go here...\n    \n    \n\nA bonus tip for you: if you use the second way showed above, you can try something like . The words "bold" and "italic" are optional, but you must include the size and the font name. The size can be expressed in pt (points, 1pt = 1/72 inch) , px (pixels, the smallest possible unit of the size of one "dot" on your screen) , cm (you know this one) , or even % (percentage). For example,\n\n  I want BIGGER words.\n\nmeans you want your the word "BIGGER" to be bolder and is 2 times the size of other words in the sentence. Therefore the actual size of the word "BIGGER" depends on the size of the other words.\n\n\nBe careful: if you are using a typeface that is on your PC but not others, they won't see how the characters look like as on your PC. In this case, you may create a picture file and insert that into the web page (if the text is short and not holding up a large area) , or you can share the font with your visitors if it is widely used in your site. (But please respect copyright if the typeface is not created by you.)\n\n\nHope it helps. Good luck.

Why do Educated people think that AIDS could never happen to them and it only happen to Prostitutes and gays?

This really depends on who you mean by "educated people," if the educated person is a doctor or familiar with public health or medicine at all, then they probably don't think AIDS could never happen to them.  They would also tell you HIV/ AIDS rates are actually worse for black women, not homosexuals or prostitutes.\n\nI think maybe the better way to frame this question is "Why might some people think that HIV/AIDS could never happen to them?"  The simple answer to that question is that they are ignorant of the facts.  If a person doesn't know the trends of HIV/AIDS infection, then I would imagine it would be difficult for them to make an educated guess.\n\nAnother reason why people think that any disease or disaster could never happen to them is because that's human nature.  (i.e, Getting robbed?  That could never happen to me.  Getting a rare cancer?  That could never happen to me).  But the problem with HIV/AIDS is that given the trends and risks for contracting the disease is so real, that people should be made more aware of the issue.  Maybe you should consider writing an op-ed or opinion piece to your local newspaper about it, I bet it would really benefit alot of people.

what is the difference betwen SIP H.323 protocols?

The substantial difference between the two protocols lies in their targeted range of applications. SIP has been designed as a general transaction protocol for setup and tear down of generic sessions. Voice and multimedia are only possible example applications of SIP. When not supporting voice or multimedia, a core SIP user agent can be very thin (e.g., only containing the SIP protocol and a generic session description). H.323, on the other hand, has been designed as a control protocol suite with the focus on multimedia applications, including telephony. Naturally, because the scope is more restricted as compared to SIP, the range of applications for H.323 is not as wide as for SIP. A couple of simple endpoint types (SETs), comprising only a well defined subset of the full H.323 functionality, have already been specified. But even the SETs are more complex as compared to SIP user agents. On the other hand, H.323 provides a more precise and detailed specification of voice and multimedia functionality.

what is the difference between bluetooth and wifi?

Bluetooth is a radio standard primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range.  It is for personal devices like:  peripherals such as printers, mice and keyboards; headsets for mobile phones and smartphones; etc.\n\nWi-Fi was intended to be used for mobile devices and LANs, but is now often used for Internet access.  It enables a person with a wireless-enabled computer or personal digital assistant (PDA) to connect to the Internet when in proximity of an access point. The geographical region covered by one or several access points is called a hotspot.  \n\nHope this helps!

What is the best method of curbing my cravings for carbs/sugar without going hungry?

I have cravings for sweets all the time, but when that happens, the best thing to do is to go for low-fat yogurt, your favorite fruit, or maybe whip up a smoothie. Try to stick to healthy foods. I'm not saying don't eat anything sweet, but try not to have it all the time. Having a sweet treat once in a while is okay, but have fruits and other good foods, too. Also, you can have a glass of water when you're craving something sugary. Water satisfies your stomach for a little while. Which will give you time to think of your next snack, or maybe even give you time to make dinner/lunch/breakfast! Hope this helps!!\n Email me back


Can the president change the nature of civil liberities.?

The President of the United States has 6 categories of power.  Under the category of Executive powers he or she has "Executive Orders" powers.  These powers a simliar to the legislative or judicial powers.\n\nBeing that the government is setup with equal power among the branches, the Supreme Court could rule what the President is doing is in violation of Constitutional rights.\n\nAbraham Lincoln violated consitutional rights doing the Civil war by suspending Habeas Corpus, that is the right of a person who has been arrested to know the charges they are being held on.\n\nThe Supreme Court ruled this was unconstitutional, however another presidential power suspended the Supreme Courts decision.\n\nUnder the President Military Powers, he or she is able to order the military into action.  During the Civil War Lincoln told the Supreme Court if they forced action he would order the military to arrest all of the Justices.  The Supreme Court backed down and waited until after the war was over to rule.\n\nWith the powers given to the President by the people of the United States through the US Constitution as well as the Constituion stating the government must protect the citizens of the United States, yes, it is well within the power of the President to take actions considered by the government to protect the citizens.


what do you do when your tax retruns where filed out wrong by some one else?

Unless the person was a CPA and signed the form as a preparer, you have no recourse. You signed the form, certifying that the information was true. If it was a CPA, the IRS would be fairly leniant, since you believed you were receiving good information.
