With college Financial AID, can i use the excess money towards rent/car payments?

Well when I  was in college we would get our check after they  took out tution for the semster. Then they would give us a check, I would use the check to buy books first and then the rest was history! I used it for whatever. The reason you get financial aid is so that you can survive throughout the semster and pay for classes. After the classes are paid for that money should be used for books, clothes, school necesities, food, rent etc. \nI always would get my check buy books, then have a couple rent checks make out  ( cashier checks) and then use the rest for stuff I needed. Sorry my answer is so long. As always with anything check directly with your school before listening to me on yahoo! Good luck!


where can i find free good dreamweaver mx tutorials?

Personally, I love lynda.com tutorials. They are video based, and you can access them for $25/month (access the entire library for that much, not just a single tutorial). I whole heartedly reccomend this.\n\nIf you are looking for a more solid Dreamweaver education, the Sitepoint network has excellent publications on Dreamweaver.\n\nIf your looking for the basics, and free, I would suggest Learnthat.com. It covers how to get started in DW, and general basics.\n\nOf course, the built-in guides and tutorials in dreamweaver itself are very good, I can wholeheartedly suggest those as well.\n\nGood Luck.


Does temperature increase or decrease when Snow Falls?

Before it begins to snow, the system begins to cool the air down to ground level.  As this happens, moisture in the ground moves up into the weather system, and eventually mixes with the already cold water, ect within the cloud.  As the snow begins to fall, the temprature drops for a short period of time, and then stabilizes. \n\nThis stabilization happens so that the snow can continue to fall without turning into ice.  On average, winter snow will fall between 14 F and 30 F.  However, it is possible for snow to fall at lower tempratures, however you will see an increase in temprature to have snow fall.\n\nNot all snow falls, however, fall within that temprature range.  Area's such as alaska, greenland, siberia, ect, can have snow even when it is much much colder.  However, the general rule still applies:  snow fall equels an increase in temprature untill a stabilization point has been reached.\n\nSnow that falls within the normal range is usualy wet snow, ie it is snow that is mixed with a bit of melted snow (water vapor), thus causing it to be heavy snow.\n\nSnow that falls below the temprature range tends to be dry snow, ie, snow that has completely frozen over.\n\nDry snow can be a major problem as it doesn't allow for the stabilization to occure at a quick rate, instead, blizzards, huge snow storms, ect, can take effect before the storm system actually stabilizes.\n\nHope that made sens\e

Does FDR deserve credit for ending the Depression?

Most definitely. As the leader of the United States during arguably the most difficult time of our history, he pushed Congress to pass emergency bills and reform measures that helped improve the economic situation in the eyes of the public. Though many historians say the beginning of World War II ended the Depression, I think that if it weren't for FDR's leadership, American morale would have fell too far to possibly recover economically.

Farts are primarily caused by bacteria that reside in your lower gut. They eat undigested foods that pass into the lower gut and as a byproduct of that, methane is produced. Beans, notorious for causing farts, contain large amounts of oligosaccharides, sugars that humans cannot digest, and bacteria digest these, causing gas.

what is the difference btw a random descrete variable and a random continuous variable (in statistics)?

Random discrete variables are specific numbers.  E.g., all integers X such that 1<= X <= 6.\nX can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6\nThe probability that X=1 is 1/6.\n\nRandom continuous variables can be any of an infinite set of numbers in a range.  E.g., all X such that  1 < X < 6\nX can be any of an infinite set of numbers between 1 and 6.\nThe probability that X is any specific number is infinitesimal.

Why does Dell customer service suck so bad?

Just as a note to the last individual: yah, Canadians ARE so freakin nice, Dell does not outsource to Canada (has Dell-owned call centers in Canada), and many of the call centers in India are, also, not outsourced.\n\n Maybe your question could be more specific. What happened? WHY are you abandoning Dell? I work for Dell's DOC department, in a NON-OUTSOURCED Canadian call center, and I know Michael Dell cares A LOT about what his consumers think. He will often monitor calls himself or even take calls. \n\nMost large companies, espically those that outsource, have a difficult time controlling ALL of their employees and making sure they are representing the company as a concerned and understanding individual. To handle the flow of calls, so you are not waiting hours to speak to someone, requires a great deal of man-power; the more people you have between the top and the front line, the more difficult it is to ensure everyone is upholding your principles. How far did you go with your experience? Maybe you should try writing to Michael Dell to let him know your concerns. \n\nI find, at least as far as technical support, that some customers have expectations that are unrealistic. Many people think that because you bought -insert the name of any software product made by another company here- with their computer, that Dell should provide support for it. Think about it, if you buy Norton Antivirus from BestBuy, do you complain to them about Norton not working and expect them to fix it? Not likely. you contact the manufacture who is specialised in it. Many people have problems with their systems due to spyware and adware programs, but dont know they need to install anti-spyware software and do not recognise the symptoms. My question is, where you looking for free assistance with a DELL MANUFACTURED PRODUCT? \n\nI am not speaking on behalf of Dell here, but meerly my own experiences and how I look at our service. I would, at least, suggest contacting Michael Dell prior to giving up on Dell completely. I know that we DO hear feed back from him regarding both positive and negative customer experiences.\n\nPS: I have worked for other major comuter manufacturers and I must say Dell is NOT the worst in the industry, by far. The most important statistic agents are graded on here is customer experience, not call time as it is for most (forcing customers through as fast as possible to take more calls).

Why did Johnny Damon switch to the Yankees?

The why in this question is simply more money. Not the fact of personal issues or difficulty, but money. Johnny probably won' be able to spend the money made with the Sox, yet he wants more and more. Money is more important to him than loyalty or committment. It is a shame but he reflects the same lack of value as do many other Americans. Did the Sox reduce what he agreed on when he first signed on? No. Does he want more money? Yes. Does he need it for quality of life? No. I am ashamed of him. It is sad indeed.


do you suspect that the people using "am i hot or not" kind of sites have psychological problems?

I think there are many reasons that people use those silly sites like that. \n\n1) Pure Boredom: They are bored one day and decide to upload a photo just to see what kind of reaction they will get. \n\n2) They KNOW they are good looking (or at least think they know) and they want the show the whole world.\n\n3) They are not sure if they are that hot or not, so they want some ego boosts. \n\n4) They feel like they are very unattractive, so they just want to confirm then go wallow in self pity when they get low scores.\n\n5) People can actually get in contact with other members so maybe they use it as a dating service. \n\n6)Their friends do it so they do too!! \n\n No, I don't think that it means the psychological problems. Although, I am sure there ARE people on that site that do...just like any other site for that matter.

In fact any computer nowadays is fast as you don't ever need - unless you're gaming, 3D design, video encoding and so on...\n\nThe question is if the computer is optimized. This means, with the given software and hardware configuration, is the computer as fast as it normally should be.\n\nA system free of virus, spyware and hardware faults can still be slow. The important thing is where the processing speed is going. If you have a 500Mhz pc for example, you shouldn't run WindowsXP with full graphical details. As long as you can figure out where you processor speed is going, and you manage it to point towards you primary task, you'll be just fine.


Why are scars itchy when they're healing?

It's part of the healing process. Itching is a result of the nerve endings around the scar being stimulated. At first, the stimulation is part of the healing. Itching may last months or years afterwards, though, as the scar tissue stretches and again stimulates the surrounding nerve endings.

Though it may sound crazy, global warming can cause an Ice Age. You see, there's an underwater wall keeping the super-cold water of the Arctic Ocean out of the a lot warmer water of the Alantic Ocean. Global warming makes this wall dissolve, letting the cold water meet the warmer water, overall lowering the temperature of the oceans. Meanwhile, the glaciers start to melt and slide. Now that the oceans aren't as warm, the glacierscan continue to move south and cover a chunk of the Northern Hemisphere in ice. In short, an ice age.\n\nHowever, ice cores are showing that global warming isn't as bad as we thought. the ice cores show that the average global temperature 100,000 years ago would go up and down by 10 degrees in a matter of decades. In comparison, our global warming is warming at a rate of 1 degree per century. Is global warming going to cause the next Ice Age? Or are threats empty? YOu decide.

Doctors of Chiropractic receive extensive, demanding professional education on par with medical doctors (MDs) and osteopaths (DOs).\nTo receive the doctor of chiropractic degree, candidates must complete extensive undergraduate prerequisites and four years of graduate-level instruction and internship at an accredited chiropractic institution. Comprehensive knowledge of all systems of the body and diagnostic procedures enable the DC to thoroughly evaluate a patient, address disorders relating to the spine and determine the need for referral to another health care provider.\n\nDoctors of Chiropractic are primary health care providers.\nAccording to the Center for Studies in Health Policy, "The DC can provide all three levels of primary care interventions and therefore is a primary care provider, as are MDs and DOs. The doctor of chiropractic is a gatekeeper to the health care system and an independent practitioner who provides primary care services. The DC's office is a direct access portal of entry to the full scope of service."\n\nDoctors of Chiropractic are licensed in all 50 states.\nDCs have been licensed and recognized for many decades in all states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.\n\nChiropractic is recognized by governmental health care programs.\nChiropractic is included in Medicare, Medicaid, Federal Employees Health Care Benefits Programs, Federal Workers' Compensation and all state workers' compensation programs. Chiropractic students are qualified to receive federal student loan assistance and DCs are authorized to be commissioned as health care officers in the U.S. Armed Forces.\n\nThe practice of chiropractic is based on sound scientific principles.\nThe existence of the nervous system as the primary control mechanism of the body is an undisputed scientific fact. Its relationship with the spine is the focus of the practice of chiropractic. The spine develops in utero to provide two primary functions: (1) allow for freedom of movement and (2) house and protect the spinal cord. When the vertebrae of the spine become misaligned through trauma or repetitive injury, two major consequences will result: (1) the range of motion becomes limited and (2) spinal nerves emerging from the spinal cord are compromised. DCs use the term "subluxation" to describe such disruptions. Interruption of nerve flow can eventually lead to pain, disability, and an overall decrease in the quality of life. Conversely, the removal of that interference has been shown to have significant, lasting health benefits. Through the adjustment of the subluxation, the doctor of chiropractic endeavors to restore normal nerve expression. The body is then able to respond appropriately to any imbalance in the system, thus relieving symptoms and restoring health.\n\nDoctors of chiropractic provide effective, low-cost health care for a wide range of conditions.\nStudies conducted according to the highest scientific standards and published by organizations not affiliated in any way with chiropractic institutions or associations continue to show the clinical appropriateness and effectiveness of chiropractic care. One of the most recent, funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health, stated emphatically that:\n\n"On the evidence, particularly the most scientifically valid clinical studies, spinal manipulation applied by chiropractors is shown to be more effective than alternative treatments for low back pain...There would be highly significant cost savings if more management of low back pain was transferred from physician to chiropractors."\n\nThe doctor of chiropractic is an effective source of preventative and wellness care.\nThe anatomical focus of the DC on the human spine has created the perception of the DC as just a "back doctor." Although this perception is not entirely incorrect, it is very much incomplete. Doctors of chiropractic are a highly appropriate resource in matters of work-place safety, st

What are the odds of a man catching HIV while having unprotected sex (oral and vaginally)?

The following numbers are old, and they're all pretty much guesswork anyway, so take them with a grain of salt.  But I venture to say most people in the field would agree with my conclusions.\n\nAccording to a report by researchers Norman Hearst and Stephen Hulley in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the odds of a heterosexual becoming infected with AIDS after one episode of penile-vaginal intercourse with someone in a non-high-risk group without a condom are one in 5 million. With a condom it's even safer--one in 50 million. Just to put this in perspective, the chances of someone in your family getting injured next year in a bubble bath are 1 in 1.3 million (source: The Odds on Virtually Everything, Heron House, 1980). You're in much greater danger of being struck by lightning (1 in 600,000), having your house bombed (1 in 290,000), or being murdered (1 in 11,000).\n\nThe numbers get a lot worse if you engage in "high-risk behavior"--having sexual intercourse or sharing needles with a member of a high-risk group, e.g., a gay or bisexual male or IV drug user from a major metro area, or a hemophiliac. The chances of getting AIDS from one such encounter range as high as 1 in 10,000 using a condom to 1 in 1,000 unprotected. Even if your partner tests negative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the chances of infection from a high-risk person are still relatively high--1 in 50,000 without a condom. That's because there's a 45 to 90 day window during which a newly infected person can infect others but test negative. (A few people go as long as 180 days.)\n\nFrom there on out, statistically speaking, things deteriorate pretty fast. If your partner is HIV-positive, your chances of getting AIDS after one night are 1 in 5,000 with a condom, 1 in 500 without. Have sex with an HIV-positive partner 500 times using condoms and your chances escalate to 1 in 11. Skip the gift wrap and they're 2 in 3.\n\nA couple points: These odds apply equally to men and women. Although there's reason to believe male-to-female AIDS transmission happens more often than female-to-male, the amount of difference is unknown. Also, I have to emphasize again, the numbers involve a lot of guesswork. The authors admit they could be off by a factor of ten in either direction. Still, one message comes through loud and clear: by far the best thing you can do to avoid AIDS is to be picky about your partners. Use of condoms reduces your risk by a factor of 10, sleeping only with people who test negative reduces it by a factor of 5 to 50, but avoiding high-risk partners reduces it by a factor of 5,000. (You'd also be well advised to avoid high-risk behavior, such as unprotected receptive anal sex.) Asking for a resume may not be romantic, but it beats Kaposi's sarcoma.

what was the banking act of 1935 about!!!?

It created the FDIC.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation provides insurance for depositors in banks and guarantees that if a bank fails the depositors will receive their money back. Currently I believe the limit is $100,000 per account. \n\nPrior to FDIC, during the depths of the depression many banks had failed and left the depositors with nothing. This act restored the faith in the banking system.\nHere is a copy of the statute:\n\nhttp://landru.i-link-2.net/monques/bank35.html

What do you do when a school is holding your transcripts?

Well that is very frustrating. It is not uncommon that a University will hold your transcripts if they believe that you owe for something.\n\nYou should call the University Ombuds Office. Their job is to help solve problems like this. The phone number is (312) 362-8707. Here is their website: http://mission.depaul.edu/ombudsperson/index.asp\n\nExplain your problem to the ombudsman and they can probably help you solve this problem. Of course, if the University thinks you owe money there might not be anything else you can do other than pay it....\n\nHope this helps.

Let's answer this by looking at goals. Large publicly held companies have one goal: to maximize shareholder value. So in this sense, customer care only exists to the extent that it leads to making the shareholders happy. Customer care does not exist because they care about you--at least not primarily. However, as a secondary goal, customer care might actually care. For example, if the customer care manager is given a goal of increasing customer satisfaction and is provided with the appropriate resources, you might actually experience customer care that cares.

need email address for sbcyahoo.com nothing else?

Your question makes little sense, that is perhaps why no one has responded to you.  There really is no need to follow up with another question several minutes later, the questions are active for quite some time. \n\nIf you are getting spam from sbcyahoo.com addresses you may wish to forward them to abuse@sbcyahoo.com.\n\nIn this day and age few of the spam messages actually originate from where they say the originate. Many spammers forge headers, including forging the 'from' address.  \n\nBelow is a basic tutorial on deciphering headers so you can complain to the right people.

Why aren't Asian guys popular with girls of other races?

My brother (Chinese) is married to a German-American woman. They have two beautiful children... REALLY beautiful ;-)\n\nBut frankly, it has to do with the way our media portray's what is sexually attractive. We're all culturally conditioned to what is attractive, and Asian males are not usually portrayed as such.


Explain WHY you multiply numerators when multiplying fractions....?

Multiplying fractions is the same as taking part of the number; for example, if you want half of a half, you multiply 1/2 by 1/2 to get a quarter.  Now suppose you wanted two thirds of a half.  The first thing you need to know is, what is one third of a half?  So, multiply 1/3 by 1/2 to get 1/6.  But you know you want two of those, so you multiply 1/6 by 2.  So you did:\n\n1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6\n1/6 * 2 = 2/6 (or 1/3)\n\nOr, to put it all in one step:\n2/3 * 1/2 = 2/6 (or 1/3)

Does Lime Wire give your computor a virus? And what is its ups and downs?

Limewire, and in fact most file sharing programs do not give your computer a virus.\n\nYou WILL however, get viruses from scripters who use the filesharing programs to force a file upload to your system.\n\nNormally, you initiate a download by selecting what you want to download.  Some people however, can use backdoors in the program to make it THINK you requested a download, and will load unwanted files (the neverending supply of kiddy porn is a perfect example)\n\nIf you are going to use Limewire, do NOT keep it on 24/7.  Only have it running a download while you are at your system, and keep an eye out on your shared folder.  If you see files you KNOW you didnt download, delete them, and scan for viruses


why aren´t there any trees growing above a certain altitude, the so called "tree-line"?

Tree-line or timberline is the edge of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing. Beyond the tree-line, they are unable to grow due to inappropriate environmental conditions. There are several types:\n\nArctic tree-line The furthest north in the Northern Hemisphere that trees can grow; further north, it is too cold to sustain trees. \n\nAntarctic tree-line The furthest south in the Southern Hemisphere that trees can grow; further south, it is too cold to sustain trees. \n\nAlpine tree-line The highest elevation that trees can grow on mountains; higher up, it is too cold to sustain trees. \n\nExposure tree-line On coasts, and on isolated mountains, the tree-line is often much lower than in corresponding altitudes inland and in larger, more complex mountain systems, because high wind speeds adversely affect tree growth. \n\nDesert tree-line The driest places that trees can grow; drier desert areas having insufficient rainfall to sustain trees. \n\nWetland tree-line The wettest ground on the margins of muskegs and bogs that trees can grow in, below which the ground is too saturated with water, excluding oxygen from the soil that tree roots need to grow. \n\nHowever no such line exists for swamps, where trees, such as Bald cypress and the many mangrove species, are adapted to growing in permanently water-logged soil.

what is the value of bi-centential quarters and halfs?

notmuch.  usually, a bicentennial quarter is worth about a quarter.  in the book its like 75 cents.  if its got an S mintmark, maybe a dollar.  the halves are worth like 3 in the book, but market values are still a half dollar.  if you have alot, you can sell it as a big lot on ebay.  but you wont get much.  i am guessing through my experience.  if you have like 100 bicentennial halves, you would probably get about 53 buxx for it.  even though, if you use it, you would get your 50 buxx value, since its still a half dollar.


How do I get on credit card mailing lists, to receive credit card offers?

I think that you could just notify the bank/cc company of your interest, after all, I hear that they have even sent credit card offers to dogs, babies and dead people.  \n     Getting the credit isn't the problem, paying it off and not becoming a slave to it is!  Been there, done that, and never again! Been three years debt FREE!!!\n CASH is King, debt is dumb and the paid off home mortage is the NEW status symbol of wealth!!!!


If 11kg is divided by three we get 3.3(recurring).but doesnt that mean that mass of each piece is infinite?

no, because you're not adding .3 each time... you're adding .3 and then .03 and then .003, each getting progressively smaller, so each time, you're not adding enough to even make the one before it go up, let alone the whole thing... it's just getting more accurate with each 3, the 3's go on forever, but each one is progressively less significant.  It's the same concept as having lets say a piece of paper, and cutting it in half.  You take one half and I take the other. Now you want more, so I give you half of my piece, which is 1/4 of the whole thing, so you have 3/4.  Now, you want even more, so I cut my piece in half again and give it to you.  I could keep cutting my piece in half and giving it to you, but you would never ever have the whole piece of paper because each piece I'm giving you means less and less, the denominator of my fraction would keep doubling, so I would always have something.  I hope this helped you understand.  \n\nYou sound like me in 10th grade, well minus the cars.  just the general music(well, i was a band geek :p) and science in general, then I got to 11th grade and discovered physics.  If you're curious about things like your question here, you're going to love physics, it satisfies so many curiosities you never thought could be answered and so many others you never knew you had.  So then I took AP physics, loved it, and now I'm a freshman in college majoring in it.  I highly recomment a physics course, you seem to have the inquisitive mind for it.

Why don't international students get financial aids?

With all due respect, I support educating American Citizens with my tax dollars before educating foreign students. Obviously, your ethic values and efforts greatly exceed those of many of my own countrymen, but Americans continue to fall farther and farther behind other countries. While I salute and commend your efforts, my financial support remains in hope that more American Citizens will adopt YOUR values and work ethic.  Good Luck and may you reap the benefits of all your dedication, but don't ask me to back you financially.


how old were u wen you had your first kiss?

The moment I was born my Mom gave me a kiss.  OH.. you mean from someone else, don't  you?  I kissed my first boyfriend when I was 14, I think.  It was terrible!!  He was 16 and thought he really knew how to kiss.  ::rolling eyes::


I believe in giving back. What are some good places to volunteer my time?

Organize a group of people together to feed the homeless that are in the street. There is such a homeless problem in California and not enough shelters to help all of the homeless. There are a few different people/groups of people I have witnessed that have made it their business to make hundreds of sandwiches a day and pass them out to the homeless. There was a lady in Los Angeles who would cook great healthy homemade soups and drive around to the different spots where she knew the homeless people would gather and she made sure they had something good to eat as regularly as possible. But sometimes people can't do that on such a grand scale and it still makes a big difference on a smaller scale sometimes. Just giving something to a homeless person - a warmed plate of your leftovers from dinner perhaps - is a great thing.\n\nWalk up to a homeless woman who is minding her own business, not begging off of anybody, and give her 10% of your weekly income. I met a man one time who did that because he no longer attended church and it was his form of paying tithes. See how big that woman's smile gets. Depending on what you make, you might be able to divide that among 10 homeless women and still get great, surprised, thankful, almost wondrous expressions of happiness.\n\nVolunteer to mentor or assist a homeless person who is not totally beyond help. There are plenty of homeless people out there who look beyond help. Homelessness is a battle of hopelessness. The longer a time a person remains homeless, the more hopeless they feel about everything. People who have been homeless for more than a year become "The Chronic Homeless" and their chances for being able to escape the confines of homelessnes are statistically decreased. Sometimes people just need an address for employment opportunities, a contact phone number for messages, encouragement, food, a safe place to store clothing and personal belongings. When homeless people don't have at least these meager advantages, it can be intensely difficult to make it back into a more normal type of living environment.\n\nBecome a mentor or a Big Brother.\n\nVolunteer to tutor children or speak to children to motivate them to study well so they can become a graphic designer or whatever they want to achieve.\n\nDonate some of your graphic design services or discount as a donation to help non-profit charities advertise events that can help them achieve their goals.\n\nCounty hospitals often welcome volunteer administrative help.\n\n(Just a few ideas - I could go on forever with this. So many worthy causes out there need volunteeristic people.)

how long will it take to bring a fiancee from another country to the states through filing a fiancee petition?

I am an American citizen who married a non-citizen.  If you are seriously considering having your fiancee immigrate to America, get an attourney who specializes in Immigration.  It may be expensive, but I cannot emphasize how easy and stress-free the process becomes.  Just walking into the INS interview with our attourney was like a stamp of approval; the INS knows the attourney has helped us prepare everything the INS needs, and no honest attourney would risk his job by taking on a client who wasn't earnest.

AGUILAR v. TEXAS\n\nNo. 548\n\nSUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES\n\n378 U.S. 108; 84 S. Ct. 1509; 12 L. Ed. 2d 723; 1964 U.S. LEXIS 994\n\n \nMarch 25-26, 1964, Argued  \nJune 15, 1964, Decided\n\nPRIOR HISTORY: \n\nCERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS. Aguillar v. State, 172 Tex. Crim. 629, 362 S.W.2d 111, 1962 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1114 (Tex. Crim. App., 1962)\n\n\nDISPOSITION: 172 Tex. Cr. R. 629, 631, 362 S. W. 2d 111, 112, reversed and remanded.\n\nSUMMARY: A Texas justice of the peace issued a warrant to search for narcotics in defendant's home; the warrant was based on an affidavit filed by two municipal police officers and reciting that affiants received reliable information from a credible person, and that affiants believed, that narcotics were being kept at defendant's premises for illegal sale and use. Over defendant's objection, heroin seized under the warrant was introduced in evidence at his trial in a Texas state court. Defendant was convicted of illegal possession of heroin, and his conviction was affirmed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. (172 Tex Crim 629, 362 SW2d 111, affirmance upheld on rehearing, 172 Tex Crim 631, 362 SW2d 112.)\n\nOn certiorari, the United States Supreme Court reversed. In an opinion by Goldberg, J., expressing the views of six members of the Court, it was held that under the Fourteenth Amendment the heroin was not admissible in evidence because the affidavit was insufficient to establish probable cause, the standard for obtaining a search warrant being the same under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments.\n\nHarlan, J., concurred in the Court's opinion, stating that but for Ker v California, 374 US 23, 10 L ed 2d 726, 83 S Ct 1623, in which case he dissented, he would have affirmed the judgment of the Texas court.\n\nClark, J., joined by Black and Stewart, JJ., dissented, expressing the view that the majority substituted a rigid, academic formula for the unrigid standards of reasonableness and probable cause laid down by the Fourth Amendment.\n\nLAWYERS' EDITION HEADNOTES: \n \n [***HN1] \nSEARCH AND SEIZURE §27\nwarrants -- showing of probable cause -- judicial review --\n \nHeadnote: [1]\nIn passing on the validity of a search warrant, the reviewing court may consider only information brought to the magistrate's attention; hence, the fact that the police may have kept a suspect's house under surveillance is irrelevant where, in applying for the warrant, the police did not mention any surveillance.\n \n [***HN2] \nSEARCH AND SEIZURE §5\nrestrictions on states -- warrant -- standards --\n \nHeadnote: [2]\nThe standard for obtaining a search warrant is the same under the Fourth and under the Fourteenth Amendment, through which the Fourth Amendment's proscriptions of unreasonable searches and seizures are enforced against the states.\n \n [***HN3] \nSEARCH AND SEIZURE §26\nconstitutionality of search warrant --\n \nHeadnote: [3]\nIn evaluating the constitutionality of a search warrant, the rule is that the informed and deliberate determinations of magistrates empowered to issue warrants are to be preferred over the hurried action of police officers who may happen to make arrests.\n \n [***HN4] \nSEARCH AND SEIZURE §25\nwithout warrant -- justification --\n \nHeadnote: [4]\nThat facts known to police officers would constitute sufficient evidence to justify the issuance of a search warrant will not justify the officers in making a search without a warrant.\n \n [***HN5] \nSEARCH AND SEIZURE §27\nshowing probable cause -- judicial review --\n \nHeadnote: [5]\nWhere a search is based upon a magistrate's, rather than a police officer's, determination of probable cause, the reviewing court will accept evidence of a less judicially competent or persuasive character than would have justified an officer in acting on his own without a warrant, and will sustain the judicial determination of probable cause so long as there was substa

What are the first steps to setting up a New Age/Witchcraft supply shop in my small town?

When we first opened the Copper Cauldron, which we had in Jacksonville Oregon, we invested 75k total into the business.  We did quite well and moved our store to St. Paul, Minnesota.\n\nGeneral guidlines, find a good wholeseller, and do your research.  Don't just sell products, provide a service, such as readings, and such to give to your customers.  Help them with research, educate them if necessary.  Hold workshops and classes as well.\n\nTo help make your adjustment into the community acceptable, to avoid the problems we had (broken windows, broken down door, ect), aggree to educate and hold workshops on the various pagan religious types to the general community.  Hold free sessions, ect to offer people.  \n\nBest to spend on good quality store furniture.  Best to buy quality items and sell at a decent price.\n\nGet listed on WitchVox.com  Great place.\n\nAdvertise, and join the BBB in your area.  Also consider joining your local Chamber of Commerce.\n\nI reccomend setting up your hours for what is available and done within your community.  So if most stores are closed on monday, close yours on monday as well, so that you don't provide a commerce shock to the area.\n\nKeep in mind that you are not going to be considered a niche shop, indeed not.  You are a community shop, that is a shop that is available throughout the year.  One that doesn't close or dwindle after the tourist season. \n\nKeep in mind also, that you need to provide an open and safe environment for your patrons.  There should be no tolerance for harassment, ect of your patrons out in front of your shop, or in your shop.\n\nI reccomend carrying some form of New Age book shop/section for your store.  The reason for this is that people like to read, they like to learn.  And the more they read, and the more they come in to buy/return books, the more face you recieve per day.\n\nWe started a library program for our store, and did wonderfully!\n\nCheck out places such as azuregreen.com and look at their wholesell program, they are great.\n\nCheck out stores and suppliers in canada, as well, as they provide great products for cheap.\n\nConsider hosting local merchants, ect, within your shop.\n\nMain steps:  Get your state business licence from your secretary of state.  Get your city license if needed.  \n\nFind a good location, open your store.  Get some form of security.  Make sure you don't need a security permit from your local police department to operate a security system.\n\nGet some form of security camera system in y our store, this helps cut down on losses due to theft.  Trust me it will happen.\n\nFind an open minded land lord.  Don't go with one who is 'unsure' but go with one who likes the idea of a pagan store in the area.\n\nDO NOT CALL YOURSELF A WITCHCRAFT STORE.  Absoutly not, you are a Pagan Resource Center, or a Pagan Store.  The reason for this is that 'witchcraft' no matter what spin you put on it, will have a negative connotation to those around you in your community.  However if you are a Pagan store, or Pagan Resource Center, you have much more credibility.\n\nJoin local stores in intitiaves, and such to get your name out there.  Help with local planning of events for your community.\n\nLastly, advertise as best you can.\n\nIf you need more help, please email me, i'd be more than willing to help you setup :)

Do you keep tradition & light Hanukkah candles?

yes i do. my family says three blessings while lighting them on the first night. the other nights we only say two because the third is a "first time" blessing.  we always put the hanukia in our window because it is a way we show the world the miricle that happened. i dont know exactly what is tradition or culture but we also make potato latkees (baked in OIL). we do get and give presents but that has no real meaning to hannukah. that happens because of assimilation. we play dreidal also. if you have ever seen one the four letters on it stand for "neys gadol hayah sham" that translates to "a great miricle happened there". the game is just for fun but you play for gelt. if you spin a "nun" nothing happens. a "gimel" you get all the gelt that is in the middle. a "hey" means you get half and a "shin" means you put one piece of gelt in. the songs are always fun to sing with family and friends.\n\nif you want to know more just search or "hannukah" "chanukkah" "hanuka" or any other spelling you know. the only real way is to write it in hebrew

Ro·ma·ni·a (rō-mā'nē-ə, -mān'yə)  or Ru·ma·ni·a (rū-)\n\nA country of southeast Europe with a short coastline on the Black Sea. Originally a Roman province, the area was conquered from the 3rd to the 12th century by a succession of invaders, including Goths, Huns, Magyars, and Mongols. In the 13th century two principalities, Moldavia and Walachia, emerged, becoming vassal states within the Turkish Empire and eventually Russian protectorates. They were united in 1861 and became independent in 1878. The rise of fascism in the 1930s led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a dictatorship in 1940. Following Romania's surrender to the USSR during World War II, the country was declared (1947) a communist republic, which was overthrown in 1989 with army-supported countrywide revolts. Bucharest is the capital and the largest city. Population: 22,300,000 .

During the 1950s, several communications researchers realized that there was a need to allow general communication between users of various computers and communications networks. This led to research into decentralized networks, queuing theory, and packet switching. The subsequent creation of ARPANET in the United States in turn catalyzed a wave of technical developments that made it the basis for the development of the Internet. Contrary to popular myth, the DoD did not create the ARPANET so that they could communicate to the US Government after a nuclear war.\n\nThe first TCP/IP wide area network was operational in 1984 when the United States' National Science Foundation (NSF) constructed a university network backbone that would later become the NSFNet. It was then followed by the opening of the network to commercial interests in 1995. Important separate networks that offered gateways into, then later merged into the Internet include Usenet, Bitnet and the various commercial and educational X.25 networks such as Compuserve and JANET. The ability of TCP/IP to work over these pre-existing communication networks allowed for a great ease of growth. Use of Internet as a phrase to describe a single global TCP/IP network originated around this time.\n\nThe collective network gained a public face in the 1990s. In August 1991 CERN in Switzerland publicized the new World Wide Web project, two years after Tim Berners-Lee had begun creating HTML, HTTP and the first few web pages at CERN in Switzerland. In 1993 the Mosaic web browser version 1.0 was released, and by late 1994 there was growing public interest in the previously academic/technical Internet. By 1996 the word "Internet" was common public currency, but it referred almost entirely to the World Wide Web.\n\nMeanwhile, over the course of the decade, the Internet successfully accommodated the majority of previously existing public computer networks (although some networks such as FidoNet have remained separate). This growth is often attributed to the lack of central administration, which allows organic growth of the network, as well as the non-proprietary open nature of the Internet protocols, which encourages vendor interoperability and prevents any one company from exerting too much control over the network.


Where can i find ideas for writing an economic paper?

I have my bachelors degree in economics if you could be more specific on what the paper needs to be about maybe I can give you an idea.  I am not to familiar with Peru's economy so I can't help you as far as that goes.  A good topic that has a lot of information on it would be the American banking system and how it operates.

what are the advantages of antibacterial products?

Antibiotics are a valuable tool for fighting bacterial infections which persistantly do not resolve with your body's own Immune System.\n\nAntibacterial products have been touted to reduce infection from exposure to things you touch, wear, etc.  This is valuable for some people with compromised immune systems, but the normal healthy person really has no need for such products.\n\nIn fact, the use of those products and antibiotics are creating stronger more resistant bacteria in our environment.  With stronger more resistant bacteria comes the risk of NOT being able to get rid of an infection when one occurs.  \n\nExamples of resistant bacteria are MRSA and VRE.  These are very difficult infections to fight BECAUSE of their resistance.\n\nSo, to recap, most of the time exposure to bacteria will actually increase your immune systems ability to FIGHT that bacteria later and using too many products to kill bacteria can actually, in the end, hurt us.

The Internet allows companies and talent to connect from all across the globe. There is one Website I know of that will connect you with a company. I haven't worked with them myself so you will have to research them thouroughly, but look around online to find opportunities.\n\nAlso the difference in currencies tends to favor overseas talent when they work out a gig with an American or European country (assuming that the Dollar or Euro is valued greater than your home currency).


To prevent blood clots they recommend loose socks. But in the hospital they give you tight socks. How come?

First, I find the first post to be offensive, and if you dont know the answer just dont give it!\n\nSecond your answser - blood clots are caused from the stagnant flow of blood which does not return to the heart.  Unlike your arteries which have alot of muscle in them, your veins rely on compressions of skeletal muscle to return blood back to the heart.  If you are not moving your feet or legs, blood pools and can clot while it is sitting there.\n\nThe tight socks in the hospital compress the skeletal muscle which help blood to return back to the heart.  In flight, your legs can swell, thus tight socks would contrict blood flow and possibly make swelling worse.\n\nNo matter what socks you wear, just do ankle exercises and all will be well! :)


WHy is dark matter not really just  warped space time?

General Relativity, which is the modern theory of gravity has some specific ways in which space can be warped: mass, of course, and also is a gravity wave goes by, and I suppose there could be some relic weirdness left over from the Big Bang.\n\nHaving warped space without mass is basically saying that there is gravity in some region of space without a known cause, at least as far as General Relativity goes. Some people have tried to get rid of dark matter with new theories of gravity - this is essentially what you're proposing - but thus far it never really works out.


My boyfriend and I really love each other and want to be together, but it seems like lately all we do is argue

I sincerely wish I had an effective answer for you. It seems that you've both developed a sense of competitiveness toward each other. In other words, you are both trying to upstage one another. This leads to conflict. Give yourselves more room to breathe for awhile. You will realize how much you miss each other once a few days have elapsed.  If not, seek proffesional advice.  Good luck, dear.


why do we have fingerprints on our toes??

because God made us that way\nP.S. we have toeprints on or toes not fingerprints lol


How do computer virus writers test their viruses?  Wouldn't they ruin their own computers testing?

The information about recovery disks is basically correct:  Virus writers either manually or automatically restore their computer to an earlier state by reinstalling the software from scratch or by using a recovery system.\n\nHowever, the fastest recovery systems will recover a few gigs of data in couple minutes.  The local university here loads it's operating system fresh every time you reboot the computer.  It is very fast.\n\nAlso a key point to note:  Since the virus writers know what their virus infections do, they also know the best way to restore and fix the damage.  I'm sure a lot of virus writers test their viruses and only fix the parts that the virus broke. This would save them the most time.\n\nPS: If I ever meet a virus writer, I'm going to kick him/her in the nuts and call the cops.  That shit is wrong.  I work in IT and have to fix the damage that virii, spyware, and other crap does to computers.

How to traffic signals detect waiting cars?

There are all sorts of technologies for detecting cars -- everything from lasers to rubber hoses filled with air! By far the most common technique is the inductive loop. An inductive loop is simply a coil of wire embedded in the road's surface. To install the loop, they lay the asphalt and then come back and cut a groove in the asphalt with a saw. The wire is placed in the groove and sealed with a rubbery compound. You can often see these big rectangular loops cut in the pavement because the compound is obvious.\nFor more, see the link!


I'm assuming you mean which martial art hurts your opponent more. This is an odd way of looking at these 2 disciplines because both can be very effective without hurting your opponent.\n\nSince a large part of ninjitsu is stealth and assasination by any means necessary, I'm not sure how much it hurts. \n\nJu-jitsu on the other hand includes a variety of joint breaking techiniques and leg locks which can be excrutiating. To give you a strict answer, I would say that Ju-jitsu can hurt more because you'd still be alive to feel the pain. At the hands of a ninja, one would hopefully suffer little and simply be dead.\n\nIt should be noted that the 2 are not mutually exclusive. The techniques of Ju-jitsu are going to be practiced by anyone studying Nin-jitsu as Ju-jitsu is the foundation for open handed grappling and throwing techniques.


Why do dogs and cats have red eyes in photographs?

Same reason humans have red eye -> Flash light that is sent directly to the retina (parallel to eye level) is reflected off the blood vessels at the back of the retina, hence the red color.\n\nPerhaps you see it more in dogs and cats because they reflect more light off their retina, thats how they manage to have better eye sight than humans.


How do I save audio file after adjusting speed? (Using Windows Media Player 10)?

The speed adjustment in WMP is a playback effect, and can't actually be saved, as WMP is just a player. You need some kind of sound editing program for it to save. You can use Windows Sound Recorder, depending on it's format. However, you will have better luck with a program like Sony Sound Forge. (Sound forge might actually be made by a subsidiary of Sony, so it might not actually say Sony, I just know it by that name)

What are pass by reference and passby value?

classic example\nSuppose you want to write a function to exchange the values of two integer variables. It seems like that would be fairly trivial. For example, to swap x and y, you could just create an extra int variable, t, and write code that looks like this: \nt = x;\nx = y;\ny = t;\nThat would certainly work. (Try giving x and y initial values & trace through the code if you don't see why the code works. Note that this approach is similar to what you did for the mandel() function in that programming assignment.)\n\nSo, you would probably suppose that you could write a function like this:\n\nvoid swap (int x, int y) {\n      \n   int t = x;\n      \n   x = y;\n   \n   y = t;\n}\nNow, suppose your main() looks like this:\n\nint main(void)\n{\n   int a = 5;\n   \n   int b = 7;\n      \n   swap( a, b );\n      \n   printf("a is %d and b is %d\n", a, b);\n      \n}\n      \nWhat will print? If swap works, we expect "a is 7 and b is 5" to print. But what actually happens? When the function swap is called, the values of a and b are passed into the functions. When swap begins, x is initialized to 5 and y is initialized to 7. The values of x and y are swapped...but the values of a and b (in main) are unaffected. The swap function does not work as written above because the arguments were passed 'by value.'\n\nWith pointers, we can pass the values 'by reference.' Passing by reference means that we'll pass the addresses of the variables instead of the values. Here's how swap and main should be written:\n\nvoid swap ( int *px, int *py) {\n      \n   int t = *px;\n      \n   *px = *py;\n      \n   *py = t;\n      \n}\n      \nint main(void) \n{\n   int a = 5;\n   \n   int b = 7;\n      \n   swap( &a, &b );\n      \n   printf("a is %d and b is %d\n", a, b);\n      \n}\n      \nNow, the addresses of the variables a and b are passed into swap. In swap, t is set to the value of 'the data that px points to', which is just the value stored at the address of a, which is 5. Then the value stored at address px is changed to the value stored at address py. This sets a to the value of b. Finally, b is set to the value t, which was the value originally stored at a. So, the values of a and b were swapped.


A doctor inserts a tube into your mouth, and runs it through your esophogus, through the stomach, and into the duodenom (upper intestines). The doctor then can detect polyps, damage, tumors, etc, and he can also biopsy troubled areas. You will be required to be on a liquid-only diet for 24 hours, and then you can eat or drink nothing after midnight before the procedure. You will also be given laxatives to clear out your digestive system completely.\n\nFor the procedure, you will be given a spray to numb your throat and gag reflex. You will also be given a medication that will make you relaxed but you will still be awake during the procedure. The doctor will need you to help get the tube down. \n\nThe whole thing takes about 30 minutes. You won't be able to eat until the numbing spray wears off. Good luck!

How can the force of elastic orthodontic bands be measured?

The force exerted by an orthodontic band can be measured by first calculating its force-constant.  It can be done in the following way:\n\n(1) Hang a single, unstretched, orthodontic band from a string.\n(2) Along side the band, place a measuring ruler and carefully note and record where the bottom part of the band starts.  This will be our starting point.\n(3) Next, hang a couple of known weights such as paperclips, fishing sinkers, etc, and note how far the band stretches with the given weight attached.  Perform this task for, say, 5 to 10 different weights.  Don't forget to measure and record how far the band stretched for each weight you hang from it.\n(4) Now, using graph paper, make an x-y plot of the data.  Mark how much weight was used (y-axis) and how far the band stretched (x-axis).\n(5) Through these data points, a straight line can be drawn which has a calculated slope.  This value of the slope, k, is your force-constant.  Don't worry, this will make sense in a minute.\n\nTo calculate the force exerted by the band, use the following equation: F = kx, where F is the exerted (restoring) force, x is the distance the band stretched, and k is the force-constant we calculated.\n\nViola!  There you go.\n\nDepending on the material, the force-constant k will be different.  This was why we had to go through steps (1) to (5).


When we are travelling in a bus, we feel the speed. But, why are we not able to feel the speed of earth?

It is true to say that you cannot feel the "speed" (velocity) of a bus when moving at a constant velocity - - but only in a "perfect" universe - - i.e., no "contact" between the bus and its environment. In reality, you probably perceive high velocity versus low velocity due to changes in vibration, bumps in the road, "wind" whistling, motor engine noise of the bus, etc.\n\nNot only is the earth moving at "constant" velocity (technically, its velocity is decreasing at an extremely low rate; slowing down only as measured over billions of years) - - its "interaction" with its "environment" (in solar system space) is virtually zero.

Which part of the human body that has no blood supply?

Hair, once it leaves the folicle, has no blood supply.  Nails are a form of hair and have no blood supply once they leave the root.  Bone which is very dense has either a blood supply (marrow) or is bathed in nearby blood supplying needed oxygen.  Young caisson workers (building tunnels under rivers at elevated air pressure) were prone to bone embrittlement if depressurized too fast too often because expanding nitrogen from their denser bone ends prevented fresh oxygen from entering thus causing bone necrosis.  Teeth have a blood supply unless you have had a root canal (0ouch!).  Parts of the eye have poor blood supply and no veins and need oxygen from the air.  The body can take in about 10% of the oxygen needed through the skin.

How high will gold go per oz. in US dollars?

Impossible to accurately predict but my guess would be not much more.\n\nWe have recently seen that the first signs of selling could lead to a sudden drop:\nhttp://news.ft.com/cms/s/9a0be6b4-6ea1-11da-9544-0000779e2340.html\nand central banks also want to reduce their gold levels in the long term.\n\nSome people also believe that there is often less demand for gold after Christmas, so I'm not optimistic for gold in the new year.  If I had to put a figure on it, my wild guess would be a drop to $480 by the end of January and then lower after that.  This is pure speculation, however.


Technical writing is an off - shoot of a scientific mind.?

Yes. Technical writers are also interested in writing something with the intended reader in mind, meaning they change the way it is written, depending on who will read it and the context in which they will read it.\nPreviously anyone with these qualities could get a job in this field. Nowadays, employers look for people who are trained as technical writers.


what is the cutoff date for selective service?

You are required to be registered with the selective service between the age of 18 and 25. However if a draft were to be constituted in the US, current selective service reforms suggest that a lottery would be held with young men turning 20 up first. \n\nThe likelihood of being drafted in the US depends on many factors. First and foremost is the need for more soldiers. With the current situation the US is in, it remains unlikely that a draft would be issued. However world events could quickly change that. \n\nAll in all, you can never fully "stop worrying" about being drafted. If a crisis were to warrant it, anyone (traditionally only males) could be drafted. It would start with those turning 20 within that year, and spread out to affect those young down to 18 years old and upwards toward 25. Local draft boards would be the deciding body as to whether you were to be drafted or not if you fell within the age specifications. If the need were there, those older than 25 could also be drafted.

when Jesus comes back what color will he be?

Considering all that I've read on the topic from multiple sources, multiple religions, and various ideologies, I've come up with this concept.\n\nJesus, by his very nature, would appear to everyone differently, in one of two forms.\n\nEither he would appear exactly as someone would want/expect him to, or he would appear as is best to humble and teach someone.\n\nIf he were to appear the same to everyone, and he was certainly going to appear as a human man, he would likely appear as a perfect blend of every race and culture on Earth.


how much longer do you think america can stay as a the most powerful country in the world?

That all depends on what faction of power you are speaking of. If you are talking about militarily it will be a long time before we are surpassed. If you are talking about technology and economy we are already going to the weak side. Asian countries are more disciplined and work harder for what they have and the work ethics here in America are terrible. People want a free ride and that will be our demise. Our goverment should not have to be the driving force behind our economy and style of life. When and if people start taking responibility for their actions and work hard again this country will turn around. Until then we will continue to fall apart at the seams that once made our country strong.

well the radius of the inscribed circle is r=S/p, where S is the area of the triangle (b*c/2) and p is the semiperimetre ((a+b+c)/2); so r=bc/(a+b+c), where b,c are the sides of the triangle and a is the hypotenuse.\nif r is an integral, then a+b+c divides bc, so b and c are of integral type.

What is Vlad the Impaler's claim to fame?

Vlad Tepes Dracula, the historical figure who inspired Bram Stoker for his novel, is definitely less known. The centennial of the gothic masterpiece provides us with a good pretext to dive back into the life of this machiavellian fifteenth century leader - an initiative that will enable us to better appreciate the work of Stoker.\n\nVlad became quite known for his brutal punishment techniques; he often ordered people to be skinned, boiled, decapitated, blinded, strangled, hanged, burned, roasted, hacked, nailed, buried alive, stabbed, etc. He also liked to cut off noses, ears, sexual organs and limbs. But his favorite method was impalement on stakes, hence the surname "Tepes" which means "The Impaler" in the Romanian language. Even the Turks referred to him as "Kaziglu Bey," meaning "The Impaler Prince." It is this technique he used in 1457, 1459 and 1460 against Transylvanian merchants who had ignored his trade laws. The raids he led against the German Saxons of Transylvania were also acts of proto-nationalism in order to protect and favour the Wallachian commerce activities.


love is...picturing yourself growing old with that person, getting jitters in your stomach everytime you look at them or hear their voice, knowing you would die for them and knowing they would die for you, leaning on each other when times are bad, them not judging you and letting you cry on their shoulder and they wipe your tears and just hold you. loving each other for who they really are, inside and out, caring so bad it hurts. love is the most amazing thing you will never see, only feel.

CAn you use 32 bit games on a 64 bit processor?

Yes you can.  When AMD released their first consumer 64-bit processor, they advocated people to buy it because it was compatible with your current 32-bit apps while it was future proof for the future (when 64-bit apps arrived).  Intel eventually followed suit and released their own 32/64-bit processor.\n\nIf you run Windows 98/2000/XP (32-bit operating systems) with 32-bit games on a 64-bit processor, it will work.  This is my current setup.\n\nYou can also run Windows XP 64-bit edition with a 32-bit game on a 64-bit processor.  This is exactly my friend's set up and it works well for him except not every driver is available in 64-bit form (mostly printers or scanners are not, video and sound drivers are mostly available in 64-bit form).

do u think it's alright to go out with some one when u made a bet to ask them out even if u still like them?

Asking someone out at this time (or any time) in your life can be pretty scary. Playing games with your friends where you make a bet or dare someone to ask someone out is a common way to get through the immobilizing fear that goes along with letting someone know you are interested in getting to know them.\n\nThere is nothing wrong with this. Dating and courtship should be fun. But not at someone else's expense. Be sure that you aren't participating in games which involve hurting other people's feelings.\n\nIf you like someone, cherish that nervous feeling you get when you summon the courage to ask them out. Even if you are rejected or get embarassed, you will be giving yourself terrific experiences as well as important practice. Right now, dating is simple and fun. You have nothing to lose. The day will come when you will be interested in a very serious relationship and without getting to know what kind of risks you can take now, you might miss a truly important opportunity in the future.\n\nBe safe, smart, and have fun!

Is Mozilla Firefox better than Internet Explorer?

I like Firefox better for several reasons. More User control: over special sub programs, called "extensions"  over appearance with lots of themes, over popups, java script, and web site redirect stoppers. It loads fast, is highly reliable, and constantly being improved and updated. It sends no data to Bill Gates, loads fast, and is FREE.

How did the word "blog" come into existence?


How many rivers are there in the world ?


As usual with legal-related questions on Yahoo! Answers, far too little information exists to answer the question adequately.\n\nThe term is "lien."  It is a "legal right or interest that a creditor has in another's property, lasing usu[ally] until a debt or duty that it secures is satisfied - Typically, the creditor does not take possession of the property on which the lien has been obtained."\n\nYou're getting ahead of yourself here, though.  Depending on state law, you'll need to have a formal lender or creditor relationship before you'd be able to attach a lien.  Also, much depends on whether the loan is recourse or non-recourse - was this a debt to the person, or to the property?\n\nRegardless, your first action should be to go to small claims court and file a claim against the debtor.  Contact your local district court in whatever state you're in, and ask them about the maximum ceiling for a small claims action.  Determine from there where you'd be able to bring you case, and then whether you'd need to consult a lawyer.\n\nEDIT: For a debt of $10,000, you need to consult an attorney and explain the situation.  The attorney will advise you how to proceed and what your chances are.
