Why does my car go faster when I switch my car while going to 50 mph and then i go into D4 into D3???

you are shifting into a lower gear, it goes  1,2,3,then overdrive to save on gas but has less power, so when you go up a hill it will shift into 3 on its own for more power , when you do that you will use more gas, it makes your motor work a little harder but all in all it causes a little more wear but over a long time ,, just let the car do it on its own.


how is it different being black living in america?

Mr Curious, what's it like living life as a racist? Given your claimed role as an educator, how do you put your rather mediocre talents to beneficial use. Now, as a Mormon, I don't expect you come into contact with many black students, and those that you do come into contact with should be extremely concerned about the quality of the education you will be providing. By other questions you have "answered" you have publicly declared your loathing of Islaam, you have also declared your racist comments and you seem to have an unusual need to keep responding to questions about sex, sexuality and related topics.\n\nYou are clearly a font of knowledge. Being black and living in America (or the rest of the world for that matter) is no fun. The statistical trail of disadvantage suffered by blacks in schools is well established. This is directly correlated to social disadvantage. As a republican you won't understand what that means, but generally it means having less money and advantage than you have. Now, before you steam up and pour out your usual diatribe of nonsense, we know that "intelligence" is randomly distributed. We know that socio-economic factors play a disproportionate influence in the life chances of children and we know that blacks have the highest % of socio-economic disadvantage. This means that there is a huge wastage of human potential that this country can barely afford. Don't you think that, as a teacher, you should employ yourself in trying to correct that problem?\n\nOn a final point, you really ought to be ashamed of yourself. You cast a totally unjustified slur on black people (you can't help this as a racist) and it made me wonder how you feel about the ones who have died, in disproportionate numbers to whites, for their country in Iraq? Do they deserve your tirade?

today i read that BARCA THEMSELVES CONFIRM THAT THEY'VE REACHED A VERBAL AGREEMENT WITH HENRY??believable??

If Arsenal don't win the Champions League, there's a very high chance that Henry will leave the team. It sucks to say it, & I really hope it isn't true, but everything points to it.\n\nHenry said he isn't interested in money, he might not join Barca for the money. Also, if he was so convinced of staying at Arsenal, wouldn't he have signed already, instead of making his team-mates & Arsene Wenger wonder. Doing that just keeps everyone nervous & wondering...\n\nBarca saying they've reached a verbal agreement can actually get them into big trouble if it's untrue. So the two possibilities are:\na) Wenger knows Henry's leaving & he doesn't want to disclose it to anyone else for obvious psychological reasons\nb) Barca are full of shit (I love the team though) & if they're lying, they're in big trouble & can be 'sued' by Wenger.\n\nLet's just hope it's the 2nd of the two options...\n\nHere's also hoping Arsenal win the Champions League & Henry signs a 5 yr. extension to his contract!\n\nGo Gunners!

Detoxifying the liver\nVarious nutrients are required in order for the liver detoxification to be carried out successfully. An adequate supply of key antioxidants is essential to prevent further liver damage. Milk thistle, vitamin C, selenium, beta carotene, vitamin E, and N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) are all powerful antioxidants which are helpful in liver detoxification.\n\nThe amino acid SAM-E plays an important role in liver health, in addition to helping with depression. Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and cabbage in the diet have been shown to enhance liver detoxification. I use those regularly when vegetable juicing.\n\nThe B vitamins, including riboflavin and niacin, also aid in liver detoxification.

What phisical and metabollical restrictions restrict cell sizes?

Protoplasm can only be as high as the water meniscus pressure. I suppose it could be very large diameter, but not very thick. The cell is feed through osmosis from the arteries. I suppose with more capillaries feeding it there is no limit metabolically. If amoebas could not reproduce, fission, then would they get very big?

Has the American Declaration of Independence ever been accepted by England?

Tacitly, no; the American Declaration of Independence has never been accepted by the United Kingdom.  However, as you will recall, there was a great war fought between the American colonists and the UK; the colonists won.  Afterwards, there was a Constitutional Convention and then the creation and execution of the US Constitution.  Today, the UK recognizes the independence of the US and are allies.  So, no, QE11 is not technically or otherwise the Queen of the US.  As to your question, would it be better if QE11 was leading our country rather than President Bush; well, I would just about think that any person could do a better job than President Bush.

who should the raiders pick as the 7th pick? A.J Hawk,OL, or another defensive player???

The best pick for the Raiders would be A.J. Hawk, but it's unlikely he will fall down to the 7th pick. If the Raiders get stuck on the idea of building up their defence then another option would be to pick Chad Greenway of Iowa. He was a fantastic outside linebacker in the Big Ten who specialized in the art of run stopping (113 tackles as a Junior.)

should the govenment get credit for stoping taorrest attacts when they dont even want to secure our borders?

If they really have stopped attacks then credit where it's due.\nDon't think it would make any difference if your borders were 'closed': in fact you'd probably excarebate any potential terrorist situation (ie more frustrated, relatively deprived often oppressed people with no hope at all of relative freedom elsewhere). \nKeep your borders open and moderated, I'd have thought for everyone's benefit.

what culture or religion are poeple from hawaii?

They are just like people from any other state, the only difference is the greater degree of diversity.  (Hawaii was a center of immigration in its sugar cane era and has a plethora of ethnicities and nationalities represented.)\n\nHawaii has Catholics, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Shintoists, Hindus, Mormons, Scientologists, Christian Scientists, Pagans, Wiccans, and many other religous groups represented.  We also have our atheists and agnostics.\n\nAs for culture, Hawaii tends to represent a blend of the cultures that comprise it, for example it's custom in Hawaii to remove shoes before entering a house, which was taken from Asian culture.

How do I correct a reverse pivot in my golf swing ?

If you are pulling the ball left, it's because you are not swinging straight through the ball.  Maybe just getting you thinking about a good swing path will cure any other related flaws.\n\nMake a box out of six tees by making two parallel rows of three tees each. The rows should be about 12 inches long and 6 inches apart.\nLooks like this:\n* * *\nswing-path \n* * *\nPractice swinging with your driver making the club path go through the box (i.e. through the two parallel rows) without hitting a tee. This exercise will help you see flaws and teach you to swing straight through the ball.\n\nOne additional reason I like this exercise is that when you don't swing right, you have to stop and fix the tee box - penalty.  If you swing right, the box is still there ready to go again and this helps with building muscle memory of the good swing.

It really isn't known for sure why some people break out with cold sores and others don't. Some think that it could be stress triggered. It is a type of herpes like the other users did say.\n\nPlease follow the link for more information.\n"The herpes simplex virus (HSV) (also known as Cold Sore, Night Fever, or Fever Blister) is a virus that manifests itself in two common viral infections, each marked by painful, watery blisters in the skin or mucous membranes (such as the mouth or lips) or on the genitals. The disease is contagious, particularly during an outbreak, and is incurable with present-day technology. An infection on the lips is commonly known as a "cold sore" or "fever blister," though this should not be confused with a canker sore, which appears inside the mouth and is not caused by the herpes simplex virus."

What is the communist bloc of nations, that was headed by the soviet union?

The communist bloc of nations consisted of countries allied to the Soviet Union from 1945 to the early 1990's.  While the Warsaw Pact (Soviet Union, Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, and at one time Albania) was part of the communist bloc, the bloc also included other communist countries such as Yugoslavia, Cuba, North Korea, Angola, Vietnam, etc.\n\nThe term Communist Bloc was mostly used in the United Nations General Assembly when the communist countries would join together to oppose resolutions proposed by America and its allies..


The sum of two numbers is 30 and their product is 209. find the numbers.?

"Most mammals have promiscuous mating systems; however, in the case of the lion, promiscuity is prevented by the complex pride unit.  Within a pride, lions are promiscuous, but since the pride limits the number of females and males available for mating, lions are termed as being polygynandrous.  This means that each male mates with multiple females and each female mates with multiple males.  Nearly all reproduction in lions is done by the resident prides.  So, if you’re not in a pride…you’re not mating (Bertram 1975).  Mating within a pride is first come first served.  Since there is no dominance hierarchy amongst males or females, no mate selection is found to occur (Viljoen 2003)."\n\n"Females go into heat year round, and give birth to a litter of 2-4 cubs after a gestation period of 110-120 days (Appx. 4 months). "


Unfortunately, there is no single test that diagnoses Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD).  This is because the disease itself is still relatively poorly defined.  Unlike other diseases, there is no standard physical finding that you can attribute to this disorder.  The Diagnostic & Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) specifies a set of functional criteria that diagnoses ADD/ADHD.  There are 3 types of ADD/ADHD, predominantly hyperactive, predominantly inattentive or both.  To be functionally diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, you must have 6 or more symptoms of inattentiveness or 6 or more symptoms of hyperactivity.  A battery of psychological tests that include a number of logic, quantitative, audio and problem-solving tests are usually used to come to this diagnosis. Usually, trained psychologists, psychiatrists, pediatricians or family doctors, and neurologists are usually qualified to make such a diagnosis.  It is important to find someone experienced with ADHD diagnosis when looking for diagnosis and treatment for ADD/ADHD.

Ihave ingrown   toe nails in my two big toes how can i get them out .They ars so painful when they grow out.?

I too suffered many years with ingrown toenails on my big toes.  They are hereditary by the way.\nI used to try and dig and cut them myself but unfortunately I inherited my father's thick toes and it got too painful.\nI used to get it so bad that it actually hurt to walk and God forbid I hit my foot into anything.\n\nWhat I eventually did and I would highly recommend to anyone is to see a foot Doctor( podiatrist) and have them surgically removed (not the entire nail, just the ingrown part).  It is a simple procedure and I have not had any pain since.  \nGood luck

Do you believe global warming is really happening or not?

No. The Moon rocks that the astronauts brought back and are in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, where millions of people have seen them, tell the story. They are glazed on the top side, just a little. \n\nDirect sunlight on the Moon is hot, but not hot enough to melt rock. (it gets to around 320 degrees F.) To cause rocks to glaze like pottery in a kiln, you would need about 1100 degrees F. So we see evidence of Lunar warming.\n\nNo process on Earth can affect the temperature on the Moon. But the Sun, which warms both the Moon and Earth, is unstable. We know the Sun is 4% variable, but we have only had the instruments to study the Sun for about the past fifty years. Maybe it gets more variable sometimes. \n\nTen or twenty thousand years ago-- we can't be sure-- the Sun flared up. It was very brief, or the rocks on the Moon would have become molten and flowed. It had to have lasted less than 24 hours (one rotation of the Earth) or nothing would have survived. I think the American continents were in sunlight at the time. \n\nSo it got hot enough on the Moon to cause the rocks to start to glaze over, but not hot enough long enough to melt them all the way through.\n\nOn Earth, the oceans boiled. There were hurricanes of live steam. A lot of species died, and there were only a few survivors like Noah.\n\nWhen the flare died out, there was all that excess water vapor in the atmosphere. It had to precipitate somewhere, and the first place was at the colest points on the planet, which were still the poles. \n\nYou see, you can't have an ice age, you can't have polar ice caps, you can't have glaciers, without water vapor in the atmosphere. The water tied up in ice was thousands of times more than the Sun would evaporate under normal circumstances. \n\nNow, the icepacks are finally melting back to the size they used to be before the flare. The planet is reaching thermal equilibrium once more. \n\nThere is evidence of other ice ages before that. They may have been caused by comets hitting the earth (in an ocean.) They would have impact energies equivalent to thousands of megatons of TNT, and would similarly put massive amouns of warter vapor into the atmosphere, with the same results.\n\nWhy don't you hear people talking about this? Because there's nothng that we could do about it. It sells more ad time on radio and tv to say that we did it to ourselves with polution. The ice will melt and the oceans will rise about 50 to 100 feet, and the coastal cities will all disappear, and there's nothing we can do to stop it. So the best bet is to move the cities inland and figure out where the new harbors and beaches will be.\n\nYes, we should pollute less, but here's something else to consider. Remember Mount Saint Helens? Biggest volcanic eruption in America in the last few hundred years. But volcanic eruptions happen a few times a century around the world, and that one wasn't especially big by global standards. \n\nNational Geographic did an article on it; you can look it up. They had a beautiful two page photo spread. The pictures one week after the eruption looked like the surface of the Moon. It was all cold grey ashes, dead tree trunks sticking out, and little craters (ponds). The other picture was one year later. It had the exact same tree trunks and ponds (the same spot) but now everything was green and growing. \n\nThe heat of the volcanic ash burned away dead leaves and underbush that kept the sunlight from reaching the forest floor, while the ashes are very good fertilizer. The heat also caused long-buried seeds to germinate.\n\nHere's the point: that one eruption put more dirt, gas, dust and radioactive particles into the atmosphere than everything we've done since day one. And the planet survived. The planet does this to itself REPEATEDLY and survives. \n\nEven the Trinity site, the site of the first atom bomb test, has things living there now, and the radiation level is barely abo

how much power can a biodiesel engine produce compared to a petro diesel engine?

Power output is relatively unaffected.  This is because a Diesel engine combustion is not stoichiometric like a gasoline engine (i.e. the air/fuel ratio does not remain constant in the Diesel engine).\n\nIt is worth noting that petro diesel has 138,205 BTU/gal\nand Biodiesel is 127,728 BTU/gal. \n\n This means that Biodiesel has roughly 7.5% less energy per gallon than petro diesel.  Which means that you will consume roughly that much more to go the same distance.

Shouldnt we fight all relgions? isnt it just a way to make people fight with each other?

I am a Christian.  I want to make clear that there is no other faith that believes in the same God as the Judeo-Christians.  The muslims kind of do, they just follow the son of Abraham, Ishmael.  (simplistic, there are many more factors involved with the muslim faith, the Jews follow the line of Abraham through Isaac and the muslims through Ishmael)  Some religions (ie. Hindu) believe in many gods, others believe in reencarnation and there are a multitude of other beliefs.  It is stupid to fight against one another.  I am appalled that there was fighting between Protestants and Catholics in Ireland and it is very sad that in Iraq, the recently liberated people there are now fighting between the Shiite and Sunni branches of Islam.  I have also hated the fact that during the Crusade times, the Muslims would invade the Christian and Jewish areas, rape, torture and pillage.  Then the so called Christian crusaders would come in and do the exact same to the muslims.  \nJust because some groups of people do stupid and immoral things, that should not cause all religion or beliefs to be fought against.  I might add that the greatest massacre of Christians took place not long ago.  Stalin and Lenin killed millions of Christians because they fought against religion.  Communism doesn't like having a God, they wanted to be.

Not every time.  It upsets me to hear it, but it sometimes fits the chacter being portrayed.  If it used gratuitously, I'm outta here!!\n\nMore often than not, if the movie has a pg13 for language or nudity, I just don't go!  So maybe I should change my name to clayprude?


YO! Monitor head!!! I got me the Zombie Survival Guide! Have you read this?

I was a consultant for it, so I didn't find the need to read it.


my brother was accused of theft by check and was currently arrested- but my brother doesn't use checks,?

First of all, you need to find out what the charge is. Theft by check is a very vague term. He could have written an insufficient funds check, meaning he intentionally wrote one of his own checks knowing there was no money or it was a closed account. Another alternative is he had someone else's stolen check and used it illegally. Or he could have forged someone's name on a check. \n\nYou mention that your brother's ex was always stealing money. In my law enforcement experience, it is rare that a normal, clean-cut, law abiding person will stay in a relationship with a lying, stealing, theif. You might want to listen very carefully to what your brother is saying and ask yourself, is he telling me the truth or telling me a story so I will be on his side? \n\nBe careful. Before you throw your full support behind your brother, get all the facts you can. Don't support him just because he is related.

The first flight/step on the moon was a fake?, why many scientists think so?

as it is not possible to post pics i would assume that u understand\n1.Since the Moon has only one light source, the Sun, the shadows must be in line. But in this cases, it looks as if there are multiple light sources in moon, which is not possible.\n \n2.The foreground of many images of the astronauts on the Moon are filled in with light, while the shadows remain absolutely black, again proving that there are multiple light sources. \n\n3.There are no stars in the background from pictures taken on the Moon. \n\n4.In some images, a huge light source can be seen reflected in the astronaut's visors. This has to be a very bright, nearby source. There  is no possibility of external light source in moon\n\n5.How could NASA take TV images of the LM ascending on Apollo 15, 16, and 17 if there was no one on the Lunar surface to man the camera? \n\n6.There can't be any pictures taken on the Moon because the film would melt in the 250° temperatures. Any  film exposed to 250° would indeed melt at that temperature\n\n7.The LM engine was very powerful. How come it did not leave a crater below the spacecraft? Why didn't it kick up any dust when it landed?\n\n8.The footprints left by the astronauts are proof that the Moon landings are fake. This one is also essentially a two pronged argument. First, the Fox show charged that the LM engine was so powerful that the upper layer of dust should have been blown away around the LM, so there should not be any footprints. Others have charged that the footprints should not be there since in the absence of water as a bonding agent, they should not maintain coherent shapes and sharp outlines\n\n9.There is no dust on LM footpads. -- According to Kaysing and Fox, this is the strongest evidence that the Moon landings are faked. They allege that with the swirling dust from LM descent engine, the foot pads should be covered with dust\n\n10.The pictures below show that flags are waving. And they never will. The flag was on the airless Moon, just as we all knew\n\nTHERE ARE MANY MORE ISSUES ON THIS, \n\nBUT \n\nTHOSE ARE TOO TECHNICAL FOR US. \n\n  \n\n…..NEIL ARMSTRONG WAS NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO LAND ON MOON\n\ncheck the refrences on these sites

I'm looking for some to apply for me for a grant?

To apply for grants, go to Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov . They have everything you need to apply for grants. \n\nThe first step is to register with Grants.gov and their registration process can be accessed from http://grants.gov/GetStarted \n\n1. Get a Data Universal Number System (DUNS) Number\n2. Register with Central Contractor Registry (CCR)\n3. Authorize your Organization's Representatives\n4. Login as an E-Business Point of Contact (POC)\n\nYou will first be asked to find the grant number of the grant that you wish to apply for. You can get this from the Catalog of Domestic Assistant http://www.cfda.gov which is the federal database of all grants.\n\nBut whether you can find grants to allow you to buy a business is an entirely different matter. It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. Grants are generally given to support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments, and hardly to individuals for the purpose of buying a business.

Does anyone know James Joyce´s use of symbols in the short-story "Eveline"?

I am not sure if the information is in there, but you should check out the link, a sort of books database on the internet. However, if you would like a detailed answer you probably should become a member first (Free) and then ask your question again in the forums.\n\nBut you can search first for James Joyce, then from the results you get you click on the name of the author. Under the author you click "Eveline" But there is no review yet.\nSo again, I advise to become a meber and check out the forums

what keeps oranges the coldest plastic wrap or aluminum foil?

One could argue plastic wrap since the Aluminum foil would allow for greater heat conduction into the orange from the air.\n\nAluminum, being a metal, is a good conductor of heat.  The metal foil will allow for heat from the "hot" air to be conducted into the "cold" orange much quicker than the plastic wrap would.\nI dont think the light enegry being absorbed or reflected is that significant.\n\nTake the opposite case as an example, say you had a hot metal pot of water an you wanted to set it on some surface so that it stays hot the longest.  If you set the pot on a metal cooking sheet, the heat will be conducted away from the pot and into the air much quicker than if you were to set it on a peice of wood for example.

Do you think there is anything wrong with people getting married in their teens?

That is almost as bad as teenagers having babies. Teenagers don't have the life experience to understand what marriage means. Teenagers should be concerned about having fun. At 18 they can start to worry about grown up problems. STAY A KID AS LONG AS YOU CAN!!!


what movie is the best underworld evelution or matrics?

Underworld: Evolotion.  \n\nMostly because vampires are really sweet and Scott Speedman is pretty hot.\n\nMatrix is sort of close, because Keanu Reeves is easy on the eyes too, but his acting sucks, and the plot is a little, well, like his acting.\n\nI respect the other actors though, for working with a monotone hottie.

Do you support gay or samesex marriage? If not, do you support the idea of civil unions?

I support gay marriage all the way. Civil unions sound like a good way to keep the "sanctity of marriage" while still giving gays equal rights, but actually civil unions only give a portion of the rights that marriage gives and are more easily contested in court by family members. Gays and lesbians would still be denied equality that way. I also think the "sanctity of marriage" argument is bogus, as the definition of marriage not only differs with culture and religion, but has also changed within this country several times over the centuries. See the link for a short and amusing "history of marriage in America."

Love and honor her and do everything you can to show her you can be trusted. It still might not be enough, but at least you will have tried. \n\nMy ex husband cheated on our third anniversary with my best friend. We might have had a chance, if he hadn't said to me three days later "If I can't sleep with you, I might as well go sleep with her." After that cruel knife stick, I just could not think of any reason to have him in my life anymore. \n\nThese days, I wish him well and hope his life works out. I now know what love is like. I have it for myself and for the man I'm with now. \n\nGood Luck.

can you take any other meds with oxycotin?

It would depend on what type of meds you're referring to, why you're taking Oxycontin in the first place, and why do you want to take other meds. I would have to refer you to your doctor who prescribed you the Oxycontin as it is a Class A controlled medical substance. I'm hoping it was prescribed by your doctor. If you have acquired it on the street it may be oxy, a harmless placebo or another chemical you don't want to find out about the hard way. Either way always consult your physican.

What excercises/weight machines develop the curve of the outer hips and thighs?

Hi when using the machines that you are at the moment a great way of knowing that you are using them properly is that you should feel it in the area you are trying to work also the reps should be quite hard for you to do so if you are doing ten reps you should be feeling it in the muscle by rep 5 or 6. There are two ways to train either strength or endurance it sounds like you need strength so the principles of that are heavy weight (not too heavy!!!!!!!!!!) With minimal repetitions to work for endurance it is light weight lots of reps.  Any instructor worh their weight should be able to get you what you need.  Ther are also a full range of classes like pilates, legs bums tums (boring i know but effective) and cardio box ect also there are mannual leg lifts and squats where you use your body weight rather than machines and you have more control as long as you do it correctly but most of all speak to an instructor you will also tone up first before you build so keep at it.  Sorry to have bored you hope i have helped a little as i don't know the weight of the weights you are using ect.

my 37 year old wife has poor personal hygiene habits as if no one ever taught her the basics. what can i do?

First of all you have to have a talk with her about this and how keeping your home neat, tidy and nicely decorated contributes to your happiness.  You'll have to ask her if she is willing to make the effort to be a "Stepford wife" (of course that standard is an exaggeration).  At this point, giving her hints won't help.  YOu have to ask it straight out.  I do hope she makes the effort though but in most cases, those are interests that have to be cultivated early on in life.  You're talking about a person's standards on quality of life there and if she doesn't want much out of it but fastfood and tv, you'll have to try getting her to desire more than that.

Will reformatting my hard drive get rid of everything - including viruses and worms?

A computer 5 or 6 years old WILL seam slow by today's standards, so the first answer could be that your perception of speed has changed over that time period.  \n     A second possibilaty is that the physical hard drive has aged and like many of us has slowed with each passing year. As you guessed, there may be a progressive mechanical breakdown which will eventually cause the hard drive to stop working.BACK-UP, BACK-UP, BACK-UP, BACK-UP, BACK-UP!!!\n     Reformatting the HDD should scramble all information and destroy anything. \n     LASTLY, I would suggest your computer is to old for an upgrade with a new hard drive and more memory - things that would increase the apparent speed of operation. If the slower speed bothers you or you actually need more speed for work or play your best course might be to sell the old and use these funds as a downpayment on a new computer.\n     I hope this has been helpful--> my first answer

Who, how and when did Earth get its name?

Cornell University: Ask an Astronomer \nhttp://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=451 \n\n"The true origin of the word Earth is shrouded in history and so any individual responsible for it cannot be found.\n\nThere are actually two schools of thought as to the origin of the word Earth. One was the already mentioned varitaion of the Germanic 'ertho'. The other is that it originated from the Indo-European "er", the verb form of which is 'ar', meaning 'to plough'.\n\nThe later, however, is not generally considered as likely due to the Germanic version contains more of the same letters and so indicates a natural progression. However, it would still be likely that the Germanic word would itself be derived from the Indo-European."\n\nIn a strictly technical sense, our planet is called "Earth" because the International Astronomical Union says so:\n\n"The official names of planets and their moons are governed by an organization called the International Astronomical Union (IAU)... The IAU is the internationally recognized authority for assigning names to celestial bodies and any surface features on them.\n\nThe IAU recognizes that astronomy is an old science and many of its names come from long-standing traditions and/or are founded in history. For many of the names of the objects in the solar system, this is especially so. Most of the objects in our solar system received names long ago based on Greek or Roman mythology. The IAU has therefore adopted this tradition in its rules for naming certain types\nof objects in the solar system... Earth is the only planet whose English name does not derive from Greek/Roman mythology. The name derives from Old English and Germanic. There are, of course, many other names for our planet in other languages."\n\nhttp://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/questions/question48.html\n\nThe word for 'Earth' is not the same in all of Earth's languages.

Keep trying. The problem is that we know that the sun is a hydrogen reactor at very extreme temperatures. Stars need to have this nuclear process to provide the energy that they do. You mentioned that planets are the remains of burnt out stars. However, stars have a very distinct lifecycle resulting in phenomena such as super nova, red giants, white dwarfs etc. Given the ratio of planets to stars in our observable universe and timescales involved. I don't think you have thought about your proposal deep enough. As for your law - gravity is universal - all masses are subject to  gravitational influence. Given this, your water droplet is counter acting the effects of gravity due to a temperature related process. The surface temperature of the tin exhibits a hydrophobic effect. Whereas at lower temperatures the tin is no longer hydrophobic.

How can you qualify as a certified MLT with a biology degree?

You can apply to do an internship at a hospital that has that type of program.  Once you complete your internship you can sit for the exam.  Or....sometimes, I think, they will let you just take the exam without the internship, but I'm not sure about that part.  You can look at the American Society of Clinical Pathologists website for more information.


In conformal mapping, the complex plane is extended to include "the point at infinity". The mapping f(z) = 1/z maps the unit circle onto the unit circle and points that were inside the circle map onto points outside the circle and vise versa.\n\nSo you might say, yes, you can turn a circle inside out.


What do you think of Sasha Cohen? Do you think she will continue skating until the 2010 Olympics?

I love Sasha but she cannot ever seem to compete during competitions. She has a wonderful grace about her but she needs to stick her landings and she's not doing that, she can never seem to skate a clean long program.\n\nIf she couldn't skate a clean long program at Salt Lake or Torino, why should she put her body at risk so she can fail again? I know that sounds awfully negative but if the shoe fits.\n\nShe needs to retire and go on tour with a program like Stars on Ice. She's a very good exhibition skater and I'm sure there are tons of girls who would love to watch her on tour and she would save her body the punishment of rigorous training.


how come my new washing machine that I made sure is level shakes all over the place when it goes into spin ?

It may be due to all four casters not being firmly even.  Also, if the floor has any give to it (wooden floor in particular), that can cause it.  Finally, if the load is unbalanced, it will shake no matter how firmly it is sitting.  I had mine shake so bad that it moved across a concrete floor in the basement - finally traced it down to a small drip in the water line above, that made the linoleum floor below wet enough to allow it to move.


where can i find a used cheap ping pong table?

Something like that is best found locally.  If it were on eBay then the shipping might be more than the cost of the cheap table.  Check the local newspaper want ads or just ask around.  Yard sales also might have one.

DUI in 1999.. Still Being punished for it.. Why?

If I understand your question, it's why you lost your license and how can you get it back.  My best advice is to ignore every other comment in response to your question and read only this one response.  You were revoked because of a quirk under Illinois law that treats a first time offense as a slap on the wrist so long as it's an in-state conviction, but treats an out-of-state conviction as if it were a second offense under Illinois law.  It's bizarre, stupid, and probably unconstitutional, but that doesn't help you.  \n\nThe best attorney to contact in your state is Don Ramsell.  Tell him William Maze sent you.  His number is  1-800-DIAL-DUI (ext. 630).  You can review this article that explains what happened to you:  http://www.dialdui.com/CM/Articles/Articles15.asp  \n\nAnd as to all the blue-noses that are throwing criticism at you, they’re probably not even legal to drink yet, all members of SADD, all living off mommy and daddy while they wait to get into UofM, and I hope they all live in Michigan and need to call me after they’ve turned 21.  And if I haven’t made the audience madd enough yet, read these articles:  http://www.alcoholfacts.org/  The truth hurts.  And, yes, I take great pride in being abrasive, nasty, and right.  \n\nWilliam Maze\n\nhttp://www.owidefenselaw.com

How can you get these stubborn doctors to prescribe anxiety medications for someone that has bad anxiety?

Go to another doctor and get a second opinion about the medication. The new doc might agree with you and presscibe a stronger medication.\n\nKeep in mind, your current doctor might not want to admit that his diagnosis is wrong. I mean, who likes to admit they're wrong. They're only human.


Would Barbie have made a better match for R2D2 or the "Lost in Space" Robot?

I'd have to say The "LiS" robot.  R2 would just end up crushing his new bride trying to get a hold of her.  I feel bad for him, keeping Princess Leia and all of her hotness inside him for so long, only to kill his equally hot wife when he finally gets one.\n\nThe Robot does at least have arms with hands, and would be able to *ahem* take a hold of the situation with her a bit better.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is RNA that encodes and carries information from DNA during transcription to sites of protein synthesis to undergo translation in order to yield a gene product.\n\nTransfer RNA (abbreviated tRNA) is a small RNA chain (74-93 nucleotides) that transfers a specific amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain at the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during translation. It has sites for amino-acid attachment and codon (a particular sequence of 3 bases) recognition. The codon recognition is different for each tRNA and is determined by the anticodon region, which contains the complementary bases to the ones encountered on the mRNA.\n\nRibosomal RNA (rRNA) is the primary constituent of ribosomes. Ribosomes are the protein-manufacturing organelles of cells and exist in the cytoplasm. rRNA is transcribed from DNA, like all RNA. Ribosomal proteins are transported into the nucleus and assembled together with rRNA before being transported through the nuclear membrane. This type of RNA makes up the vast majority of RNA found in a typical cell. While proteins are also present in the ribosomes, solely rRNA is able to form peptides. Therefore ribosome often is referred to as ribozyme.


what is the difference between 'complicated' and 'sophisticated'?

Well, you've already got your textbook answers, so I'll try to focus on what I think is the heart of your question. \n\nBeyond the fact they aren't mutually exclusive, the basic difference between the two is that anyone can be complicated. It requires no great education, experience or worldliness. I've encountered highly intelligent people who were deeply complicated in terms of how they conduct themselves or their lives. But I've also met people who I might well describe as philistines (should I get a bonus every time I toss that into one of my answers to your questions, Patz?) who were just as complicated, hard to understand or challenging. Being considered complicated is not only not complimentary it's not even special or unique.\n\nAttaining a level of sophistication is another matter entirely. This actually does require education, an appreciation for art, literature, music, history, any number of things -- and you very definitely have to have had some experience of the world. I've never met a sophisticated xenophobe. \n\nMind you, I should clarify that there is absolutely no class distinction here. The pompous, condescending sophisticatos of the world would like nothing better than to have us believe that true sophistication can only come with "good breeding" and whatnot. I say, tally-ho, what!\n\nRubbish!\n\nI've met my fair share of upper class twits (and no, they're not all British either; most of them are American) who might lay claim to being sophisticated, presumably by birthright, but were no better than the philistines they're so contemptuous of. Conversely, like my erstwhile best friend, Tony (he of sassing back at customs officers fame), I was basically an autodidact before I finally let reason (or was it social pressure?) prevail and entered into the arena of higher education. An autodidact gains most of his or her knowledge through reading (voraciously) and has no sheepskin to prove his or her intellectual authenticity. But through the independent study of the various themes cited above, sophistication may very well be attained at any time. \n\nI hope this somewhat rambling exercise adequately addresses your question. It may be imperfect (I'm sick as a dog; have I mentioned that at all?) but I'm thinking it beats cutting and pasting online dictionary definitions or wikipedia entries. And btw, I actually consider myself both complicated (very) AND sophisticated (in my own humble way), for what that's worth.


how do i get my dad to agree upon entering a far and expensive college?

Hi again. Apart from trying to persuade them that you want to attend this school, maybe is a good idea to find a job and contribute by yourselft to your studies, so as to cover even a part of the expenses.\nThis is what I did some years ago since my parents were not able to pay for my studies...and I did not regret at all.\nIf you want to do something, be sure that you will find a way to do it!!


How common is female breast cancer (e.g. x/100) and how many survive 5 years after treatment? -worried spouse?

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, other than skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer. \n\nAbout 212,920 women in the United States will be found to have invasive breast cancer in 2006. About 40,970 women will die from the disease this year. Right now there are slightly over 2 million women living in the United States who have been treated for breast cancer. \n\nThe chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is about 1 in 8. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 33. Breast cancer death rates are going down. This decline is probably the result of finding the cancer earlier and improved treatment.\n\nAfter the first course of treatment is finished, it is very important to keep all follow-up visits to your doctor. Be sure and tell the doctor about any symptoms or side effects that concern you. \n\nAt first, these visits are scheduled every 4 to 6 months. The longer you are free of cancer, the less often you will need visits. After 5 years, visits are usually once a year. You should have a mammogram of the remaining breast and the breast treated with lumpectomy. \n\nMore than likely, if it was found pretty earlier and your spouse has good care, your spouse has an EXCELLENT chance of coming through this fine.\n\nBe there for your spouse, talk to her. She is going through alot right now, and you probably are too. The best thing is communication.\n\nGood luck!


What is the difference between a plankton and amoeba?

Plankton are drifting organisms that inhabit the water column of oceans, seas, and bodies of fresh water.\n\nAmoeba itself is found in freshwater, typically on decaying vegetation from streams, but is not especially common in nature. However, because of the ease with which they may be obtained and kept in the lab, they are common objects of study, both as representative protozoa and to demonstrate cell structure and function. The cells have several lobose pseudopods, with one large tubular pseudopod at the anterior and several secondary ones branching to the sides. The most famous species, A. proteus, is 700-800 μm in length, but many others are much smaller. Each has a single nucleus, and a simple contractile vacuole which maintains its osmotic pressure, as its most recognizable features.


Was Louis Leggett part of the World War 2?

Assuming his first name is Robert, I found this information; in ti, it states that Leggit did serve in the Navy during WW2:\n\nRobert Louis Leggett (1926-1997) — also known as Robert L. Leggett — of Vallejo, Solano County, Calif. Born in Richmond, Contra Costa County, Calif., July 26, 1926. Son of Elmer Leggett and Victoria (Toffoli) Leggett; married, August 16, 1947, to Barbara Burnett. Democrat. Served in the U.S. Navy during World War II; lawyer; member of California state assembly, 1961-62; U.S. Representative from California 4th District, 1963-79; elected unopposed 1974. Member, American Bar Association; American Legion; Elks; Kiwanis; Redmen; Sons of Italy. Died of a heart attack, in Orange, Orange County, Calif., August 13, 1997. Burial location unknown. \n\nSource:\n\nhttp://www.potifos.com/tpg/geo/CA/kiwanis.html\n\nSorry, found no pictures. Hope  this helps.

The perimeter of a right triangle is 14 cm. If the sum of the legs is 8 cm, what is the area of the triangle?

You have a right triangle with legs a and b, and hypotenuse c.\na+b=8\nc=6\n\na^2 + b^2 = c^2 = 36\n\nSquare both sides of a+b=8\na^2 + 2ab + b^2 = 64\n\nSubtract previous equation:\n\n2ab = 64 - 36 = 28\n\nab = 14\n\n(1/2)*ab = 7\n\nArea = 7.


Regarding your last question, each state has a Statute of Limitations on how long a debt is legal.  Go to the link below and look up your state.  \n\nThe first thing you need to do is get those silly collection agents off your back.  To do that, use the sample letter below requesting that they "validate" your debt.  That means they must send you a copy of the bills, contracts, and anything that was used to calculate the debt you owe.  If they don't supply you with that information, they can't keep the negative report on your credit history.  \n\nSend this letter to both Cingular and the collection agent.  If they do not respond back in 30 days, send a copy of that letter, plus a letter demanding that the report be removed from your credit history, to each of the credit reporting agencies.  That will get it off your records.\n\nNow, what I'm going to bet is one of two things happened.  They either messed up your last payment and didn't enter it correctly (you do have a copy of the canceled check, right), or you are being billed a fee for canceling your contract early.  All of the cell phone companies have a very large termination fee, and there is no easy way to avoid it.  It's right there in the contract you signed.....\n\n....which is why you are sending them that "validation" letter.  No contract = no legal agreement to pay them.  \n\nSo make them prove your debt or leave you alone!

MAURICE DREW TO THE PATRIOTS could IT HAPPEN?

It could happen in the 2nd round.  I think Maurice Drew will be taken in the 2nd round, if he should drop to the third round some team will be very happy.  He can return kicks, has a fire plug like body which is tough to get a good lick on. His only question mark is can he take the pounding, he actually has a lot of bulk for a short back.  He is short but is big for his size, well over 210 lbs.  Plus I am pulling for him since he is from my home town of Antioch.

Hi ,\n  The problem seems with the CMOS battery.As u said u were not using it for days, the battery may have discharged. So it is causing the problem. Its like the CMOS battery is responsible for the date and time setup if it dont gives proper backup the time and date resets to start of the century or in some of case it goes to any unwanted date by randomely selecting it. \n  So change the CMOS battery n it will go fine.If u dont know how to change it open ur PC cabinate n  u will see   a shining roung thing just like ur watch battery but it will be a bit big. Take it out a take care while takin it out n  replace it by new one.\n  And you are done.......


trying to find a rare song. all i know is some of the words?

Think of which words in the song are least likely to be found in something else.  Then, search for those words as a phrase.\n\nFor example, in Mary Had a Little Lamb, the words "made the children laugh and play" are a little unusual.  You could search for that phrase at, say, Google.  This often works.


where can you look up the company you work for on how good they are doing or bad?

If it is public limited company, it will be simple - simply go the company law board or regulatory body and ask for balance sheet.\n\nIf it is private limited co, then it will be somewhat difficult - but it can be managed.\n\nIt should be possible to approach company law board or equivalent regulatory body for the balance sheet.


Does a child have a right to any personal items of deceased parent if stepparent refuses?

It is my understanding that each state has different inheritance laws.  However, if your ex-spouse died with a will which left everything to his current spouse and nothing to your child, then your child has no legal right to any of the property.  However, if your ex-spouse died with a will and left property to your child in the will, the child is entitled to whatever the will says.  Wills are recorded in county probate court and are a matter of public record.  If your ex-spouse died without a will, then your child is entitled to whatever portion of the estate that your state prescribes by law.  If that is the case, contact your local probate court and inquire.

what does the word phlebotomist mean and where did it originate?

A phlebotomist draws blood or plasma from a donor...such a person would be found at a hospital lab taking blood samples, or at a blood drive or a plasma center.  The word phlebotomist came from the Greek word "phleb" or "phlebo" meaning vein or blood vessel and "toma" or "tomia" meaning to cut or make an incision.

Why did God favor Abel's sacrifice over Cain's?

It's possible that Cain and Abel had received some instruction on what constituted an acceptable sacrifice from God, or that Cain had committed other wrongs that would make his offering unacceptable to God. However, the passage does give us some clues. It says that Abel "brought fat portions from some of the firstborn." He offered some of what came first, as opposed to waiting until an animal had plenty of offspring (and the oldest were reproducing themselves) and then sacrificing one of the youngest, and he offered the choicest parts. Abel was clearly giving the best of what he had to God. Cain, on the other hand, brought "some of the fruits of the soil," which were not necessarily the best crops - they may have been damaged and/or been what Cain considered "extra" or "leftover." Abel's and Cain's actions were a reflection of their attitudes towards God - should God receive the best of what they had or not? - and it was their attitudes that God was concerned with.

Have you experienced a spiritual awakening?

Spiritual awakening happens outside of time. While on the other hand, 'experience' occurs within time. And so, technically speaking, one cannot 'experience' a spiritual awakening. This is beyond process; it is a Realization. The values of the awakening can be precipitated into the relative domain, however. In other words, the individual's relative consciousness can participate indirectly.\n\n   Am I spiritually awakened? Maybe.


Can anyone solve this calculus problem...?

Hi there,\nThis is a linear differential equation and can be solved using a certain list of steps (check any calculus text book). To avoid finding an integrating factor etc, we note that by dividing by x^2 we get:\nf'(x)/x - f(x)/ x^2 = 1/x\nThe left side is the same as (f(x)/x)' [product rule].\nThus we have, (f(x)/x)' = 1/x\nIntegrating gives f(x)/x = ln|x|+C\nSo, f(x)=x ln|x|+Cx\nSubstituting f(-1)=1 gives C=-1\nThus, f(e^-1)=(e^-1) ln|e^-1| - e^-1=-2e^-1.\n\nCheerios,\nMike

Do you think the events of 9/11 made Americans more Conservative or Liberal?

I think 9/11 was a big shift for a lot of people. To me, the moment of epiphany was seeing Hilary Clinton getting booed at a post-9/11 memorial. Before 9/11, the Democrats mantra was "It's the economy, stupid." My interpretation of that was "It doesn't matter how much our party lacks in morals or is void of ideas, as long as the economy keeps on chuggin' along." Much is said by the Democrats about how Bush didn't prepare for 9/11 during the 9 months he was in office before then, but nothing is said about the 8 years under Clinton where he gutted US intellegence capabilities. While Clinton slept (ok so he wasn't asleep-he was getting laid) Al Qaeda and other Islamist groups were getting more powerful.\n\nBut I think the Democrats are crafty and have been able to skew things lately (with the help of their friends in the media and on college campuses) so that things look worse than they really are.\n\nBut overall, I think even though it looks bad for the Republicans right now, the Democrats and their tired, failed ideology still doesn't resonate with the American people.

the mode of a set of numbers is the number that occurs most often.  for example, in the set 2, 4, 5,8, 8, 9, the mode is 8, as it occurs twice and the others only once.  another example: 7, 9, 9, 2, 5, 5, what is the mode?  there are actually two, 5 and 9, because the both occur the most.  if all numbers occur the same number of times, then there is no mode.\ncheck your math book and ask your teacher for more explanation.\nall you have to do is count the numbers, some people find that it helps to put them in order, so that they can be sure not to miss any. (instead of 7, 9, 9..., rewrite as 2, 5, 5, 7, 9, 9, this is also helpful when doing mean and median)\ngood luck on your work!  i like that you didn't include the actual problem, that shows that you really want to learn, not just take the easy way out.

Why do people drink coffee to counteract the effects of alcohol? What is the science behind it? Thanks?

Alcohol is a depressant that is to say it decreases the transmission of a nervous impulse at the synapse between neurons. Alcohol makes the membrane permeable to potassium instead of sodium inhibiting the production of an action potential needed for the transmission of a nervous impulse.\nOn the other hand, coffee is a stimulant which is the exact opposite of a depressant. Stimulant increases the permeability of a membrane to sodium producing the action potential and enabling the conduction of a nervous impulse.\nSo coffee being a stimulant and alcohol a depressant they counteract each other.


Earth is a phenomena A woman too is a phenomena . Why mankind can not visualise a GOD within this phenomena.?

While it may appear to you that since life dows exist which in itself is a mystery, mankind relies upon logic. When he cannot reason out the answers, determain, a formula to exctact and solve questions, discover a sep by step sequince he is then lost. When we are confused by controversy and we cannot find a conventional means to resolve our questions we become lost and will not accept what is put before us.

Where in the brain does serotonin get produced? Please be specific.?

Although serotonin is broadly distributed in the brain because it is a neurotransmitter, it is created in the cell body of the neuron.  Neurotransmitters are how brain cells (neurons) communicate with each other at the junction where the come in close contact. Neurotransmitters bridge the gap between neurons. They are produced in the body of the neuron where the cellular machinery needed to make them is located.  They are transported to the synapse  (the gap)by specific proteins inside the neuron or attached to the cell membrane of the neuron.  once released into the synapse specific proteins on the cell membrane can bind them and bring them back inside or degrade them.  Most are brought back into the neuron so they can be used again the next time the neuron needs them.


removing kids teeth when they have a fever?

this question is not a complete sentence so Im not sure what you are asking but... you never extract a tooth that can be saved. If the fever is due to a dental infection, a course of strong broad spectrum antibiotics must be taken prior to extractions or you run the risk of systemic infection and sometimes even death.
