Why does a Full Moon look huge when it's rising in the East, but look smaller when it's above the horizon?

The theories presented so far have been pretty much debunked. The following link gives an elaborate explanation of this illusion. But even it fails to explain why we don't see this illusion every time the moon rises. It does not always appear larger at moonrise than when it is higher in the sky. Also, the moon may appear to be different sizes on different nights even in the same location. I'm still looking for a plausable explanation. \n\nhttp://facstaff.uww.edu/mccreadd/

Are there any wormholes to other dimensions in Boston?

I greatly doubt it. If there are any 'wormholes', then they are probably the equivlant of black holes, and therefore would be floating aimlessly in space. If there was a wormhole in Boston, the Earth would be pulled into a million pieces in about two seconds.

is a giraffe capable of lying down to sleep?how much does an average adult weigh?

Here is your answer.....and the link below will provide you with any other answers you need to know about Giraffe's....\n\n:)\nPeace\n\nAnother belief is that, because of their physical attributes, they never lie down. Another myth. The giraffe can, indeed, lie down. They will lie down to sleep for short periods of one to twenty minutes (granted, the brevity is probably due to the physical limitations of the animal). The giraffe will lie on its side with its neck and head across its flank. Also, during the first couple weeks after birth, the mother will often lie on her side, guarding the young.

what are the steps in making an e-mail address?

The easiest way to create an email address would be to establish a web-based account, like Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, or other services.  Other than that, you would need to establish an Internet domain, available through a variety of companies, that would include the ability to create multiple email accounts for it.  However, it would not be free.  You could set one up for as low as $30US per year.  I'm including a link to info on web-based email and one on a company that can establish a low-priced domain.\n\nI'm sure you weren't looking for something that would not be free, but I think establishing the domain and setting up the emails with it might be an excellent learning experience.  Good luck!

What has happened to family values and traditions?

Family values and traditions have been distorted by the public view of the family unit.  Because we have a predetermined ethos of what a family is suposed to be like, forming traditions, ect, is very difficult today.\n\nAs to family values, these have been so distorted by religious dogma, that most parents find it very difficult to teach their children without a conflict of interest.\n\nIf you are worried about this for your own family, then set the standard.  Screw what society says.  If you and your family sit down every sunday for a dinner, great; or if you and your family spend every thursday night watching tv together, great; don't leave it up to society to dictate what your family should be doing.\n\nDon't leave it, also, up to religion to dictate what you and and your family should be doing.  A Family is simply an interaction between all involved.  Without interaction on a free front there is no family.  Including religious dogma, societal dogma, and transitory traditions doesn't bring a free interaction between all involved in the family.\n\nSet your own pace, and you'll be just fine.


Why Does There Seem To Be More Family Fueds on Christmas Day Than Any Other Holiday?

The expectation fed by Christmas movies is that everything ends well on Christmas.

why do stock price go up at the end of the year?

first of all this is NOT always true .. this was called a December effect or Christmas effect ... this was because mutual fund companies want to do window dressing, by buying stocks that were not in their portfolio. As an example if everyone knows Google did well last year , then no mutual fund manager wants to look like he does not have Google in the portfolio .. so they may buy some stock .. and hence it may go up \n\nhowever this is not always the case .. if it was then everyone will just sell short on dec 1st and buy on jan1st.


WHERE DID CHESTY PULLER WIN HIS FIVE NAVY CROSSES?

In December 1928, Puller was assigned to the Nicaraguan National Guard detachment, where he earned his first Navy Cross.\nHe returned stateside in July 1931 and completed the year-long Company Officers' Course at Fort Benning, Georgia, thereafter returning to Nicaragua to earn a second Navy Cross for leading "five successive engagements against superior numbers of armed bandit forces".\nWhile on Guadalcanal, Puller earned his third Navy Cross for action at was later known as the "Battle of Henderson Field", in which the 1/7 battalion was the only American unit defending the airfield against a regiment-strength Japanese force. In a firefight on the night of October 24–25, 1942 lasting about three hours, 1/7 sustained 70 casualties; the Japanese force suffered over 1,400 killed in action, and the airfield was held by the battalion.\nWhile serving in this capacity at Cape Gloucester, he earned his fourth Navy Cross for overall performance in December and January of 1944, and was later (February 1944) made regimental commander, leading the regiment in numerous engagements on Peleliu during September and October of 1944.\nIn November of that year, Puller earned a fifth Navy Cross for action at Chosin Reservoir.

in california if a counseler said its illegal to drop out of school even if your 16 are they lyinng to you ?

Unfortunately, they're telling the truth.  The California Education Code requires every person between the ages of 6 and 18 to attend school (Section 48200).  And all persons between the ages of 16 and 18 who are what the law calls "habitually truant" (absent far too often) can be brought to juvenile court (Section 48403).


Is it an urban myth that a goose will explode if fed alka-seltzer?

This myth proposes that if you feed a gull an Alka Seltzer tablet it will swallow the offering and when the lethal charge gets into the stomach and dissolves, the expanding gasses will cause the bird to explode. Every year there is another story about some mean kids doing this. Oddly, it always involves New Jersey.\n\nAfter you stop giggling at the image of gulls exploding like flying land mines all over the Jersey shore, the unlikelihood of the myth starts to intrude. If it were true, it would be a big story. I can see the coverage now: Dan Rather in his safari jacket, standing on the windswept coast, hair blowing in the wind, gull feathers raining down in the background; PBS specials (who can resist the vision of a gull, cheerfully flying along and then suddenly exploding, right in front of the camera?); exposés in the tabloids.\n\nIf the body could not handle a little Alka Seltzer without an explosion, it wouldn't be legal to sell the stuff over the counter. If it caused gulls to explode, there would be a rash of reports every year. I do not know the physiological process by which the body processes a tablet swallowed whole (and I have no interest in trying), but I assume it involves, among other things, a fair amount of belching and a slightly gassy feeling. Actually, if I ate some of the stuff that gulls do, I would be thrilled to have a little relief, but they seem to do fine without it.


where does the white go when the snow melts?

Snow is actually clear like ice in a tray. Snow is simply a smaller version of that. It only appears white because of its small particles of ice and light reflection. there is always light reflecting even at night so the snow will still appear to be white.

It depends on which Baptist you ask.  Especially now.  The largest Baptist denomination in the US is the Southern Baptist Convention.  In the 1960's and earlier it was made up of a variety of Baptist with a variety of viewpoints.  Then in the 1970's two men, Paige Patterson (I think he was the president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary at the time) and Paul Pressler (a retired judge) put a plan in motion to give full control of the SBC to the fundamentalist wing.  Most moderates either didn't know what happening until it was too late, or assumed the pendulum would eventually swing back their way.  But that has not happened.  This caused a split in the convention and the effects can still be felt today.  The largest organization to come out of the split is the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, and we look at ourselves as being what Baptists used to be.  Former president Jimmy Carter identifies with the CBF.  We now have our own seminaries, missionaries, etc.  I am a student at the Wake Forest Divinity School which is one of the new seminaries.\n\nA result of the split was a change to the Baptist Faith and Message which describes what we as Baptists believe.  The SBC adopted a new version of the BFM in 2000, replacing the 1963 version.\n\nThese documents will give you a good idea about what many baptists belive.  The Mainstream Baptist link below will allow you to read both files side by side. Hopfully, you will get some responses from other Baptists as well.  American Baptist Churches USA is another large group.

Who is better? The King?(Richard Petty)or the Intimidater(Dale Earnhardt)?

Two different drivers, two different eras.  It's like comparing apples to oranges. Petty started racing in the late 1950's on the old NASCAR dirt tracks, while Earnhardt didn't start racing until 1975. Earnhardt was able to match Petty in the number of NASCAR Championship wins, but his racing experience was much different that Petty.  Earnhardt died as a result of a crash in February 2001. He raced 676 Nascar/Winston cup races in his 27 year career.  Petty survived to be able to retire from racing, and competed in 1,184 races in his 35 years as a NASCAR/Winston Cup driver.

Why does Saturn's moon Titan have an atmosphere when it is the same size as our moon?

This is a question that scientists are still trying to answer. However, according to data, titan is geologically active, though not lava flows as you would think.  It has a large amount of ammonia, which, at the cold tempuratures of Titan, would form a slush of the same consistancy of liquid rock.  Volcanos on titan must be very cold indeed.  This geological activity, though strange, can serve to constanty renew the atmosphere.

The nth term of a sequence is defined to be The 50th term is how much greater than the 45th term?

It depends on the sequence of course and the values. The use of the word "greater" here is very vague. The 50th term will always be 5 terms ahead of the 45th term, regardless of n. You wouldn't say it is 5 GREATER though. Sequences will have different values for the 50th and 45th term, so you're question cannot truly be answered without more information on the nature of the sequence.


I always hate it when a guy walks up and gives a pick-up line, whether it's cute or not. Just try to be natural. The guy who approached me in a bar that I will remember forever gave me a simple, "I saw you and wanted to come over and say hi." and then preceeded to ask me questions about myself. It was flatering that he wanted to talk to me, but he didn't try to hard or wasn't cheesy.\n\nBerbbb: Actually, the reason that I will remember the instances so well is because that guy is actually the father of my child:) We did date for about 2 years.

what is the best way to go about getting your record espunged?

Most law firms will say they don't do it, because it most cases it can't be done.  You need special circumstances to expunge a criminal record -- such as a pardon.  Your best bet is to forget about it as impossible, and work on building a resume slowly, and impressing those you work for now.  Sorry.

What do you think about being in Iraq for another 3 to 10 years?

We need to finish what we started, not just show up for the party and leave the cleanup for someone else.  I doubt there will be a full military pullout for a long time.

Laudanum is an alcoholic tincture of opium, sometimes sweetened with sugar and also called wine of opium.

I would say the first thing to do is identify what you consider ideal and perhaps write it down. With those qualities in mind you can begin to think seriously about who you would want to work for, where you would want to work and what kind of work you would want to do. \n\nAs you are thinking about that, take a look at your resume / cv. Does your knowledge, skills, experiences and education align you with your perfect job or do you need additional skills and training to help make you more marketable. If there are gaps, now is the time to address them.\n\nWith that accomplished, you can set out with your list of qualities and your resume to find your perfect job. I suggest the best approach to this facet of your job search is to use a mixed approach. You can put your resume on the boards, but my experience has proven that it isn't the most effecient or effective way to find a job. Additionally, scour the job boards (Monster.com, Hotjobs. com, Careerbuilder.com and any niche sites that you may know of or be a member of) and identify jobs that you would want to apply for. Make sure that you are not kidding yourself or overestimating your abilities.\n\nWhile all of this is going on get the word out, talk to everyone you know and let them know that you are on the market and what kind of work you are looking for. Networking is one of the most effective ways to find a job.\n\nThis isn't an exhaustive step-by-step guide, but it should help you get started. All of this advice comes from a number of years of experience as a recruiter for large corporations.

If God loves me more than I love myself, how can there be a hell?

God doesn't want to send anyone to Hell He made Hell for satan and his followers. God doesn't "send" you to Hell. You go there because of your sin. And with sin you can't be near God. So you spend eternal separation from Him. God loves you and he wants you to go to heaven but he loved you so much that he gave you the will to choose if you wanted to worship and love him. So before Jesus died for our sins it was very hard to get into heaven. So God died for His world that He created and made a way into heaven. And that is Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Light.


I quit using the patch, and it was fantastic and so easy.  I had 2 modifications to the program:\n\n1: When I was wearing the patch, if I still craved a cigarette, I reached for the patch and rubbed it.  This might have released more nicotine at that moment, or might have just psychologically helped and kept my hands busy -- I'm not sure.\n\n2: For at least 6 months after getting off the patch, I kept spare packages of lowest dose patch in my purse.  If I ever felt like falling off the wagon (say, a trigger being in a bar with smoking friends while we were all drinking) I would apply a patch instead.  I didn't hold myself to having to be off the patch.  Eventually, I went months without using one of the spares -- and that was that (4 years ago!)\n\nWhether you should move:  I wouldn't just yet -- you don't know if you can quit, and to move might be a decision you regret.  See if you can keep up with the patch for a little bit.  If your roomates are smoking and you want one, try the patch rubbing trick.   Once you've gone without smoking for a while, then you won't be able to stand your roomates smoking, even if you're still on the patch.  Then you can make the big move.\n\nGood luck.  I've given this same advice to 3 friends, and they all quit successfully.  The "carry a spare patch after you're done with the patch program" tip really makes the big difference in not getting back to smoking.


i need a friend in hotmail or yahoo or paltalk who is a hot fan of linkin park .where can i find ? here ?

I personally think you have excellent taste in music, Linkin Park rox! Anyways, in the Yahoo! member directory you can go to a Linkin Park interest list and check out the Y! Linkin Park fans. Sometimes they post pictures of themselves, or their e-mail and u can open a chat window with them. Just go to the member directory, type in "Linkin Park" in the search box, make sure it's set on "interests". Dang, it is so hard to find people who like Linkin Park, it's like they're all trapped online, away from you. NONE, of my pals like Linkin Park. To bad.


You can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 (that's 800-TAX-1040, an easy way to remember the number). You can ask the IRS agent if there are any "debt indicators" on your account. A debt indicator is a sign that some or all your your tax refund will be offset to pay an outstanding debt.\n\nYou can also call the Treasury Department's Financial Management Service. This is the agency that issues the offsets and applies the tax refund money to pay other debts. Their number is 1-800-304-3107.\n\nAll the best,\n\nWilliam Perez\ntaxes.about.com

How many joules of heat are required to melt 40kg of ice at 0 degrees C?

the formula is just the heat of fusion for water (in J/kg) times the amount of water you have.\n\nThe heat of fusion in Joules per kg for water is 333548 J/kg, so you just multiply that by the mass in kg to get the joules, so you'd have 333548 J/kg x 40kg = 13341920J which, in scientific notation would be 1.33 x 10^7 J.


can I change my Yahoo Member ID name without changing other info on account?

You need not create a new account. \n\nYou can not change an id, but you can surely GET AN ALIAS for the same account, so if you don't like the present id that you have, go for an alias. \n\nGetting alias would not change anything for the acocunt, you will still get mails in the same account.\n\nyou can ask people to send you mails on the new id that you got, but if someone sends it on the old, that is not a problem either. \n\nAnd now yahoo even allows dots in its ids, so you can probably get sometihng like first.last@yahoo.com\n\nhttp://edit.yahoo.com/config/list_alias?.src=ym\n\nhope this helps!


why do ionic compounds donot exist as isolated molecules?

Ionic compounds do not usually exist as isolated molecules, such as LiCl, but as a part of a crystal lattice--a three dimensional regular array of cations and anions. Ionic compounds form lattices due to the contributing coulombic attractions of having each cation surrounded by several anions and each anion surrounded by several anions\n\nTry out the quiz, its cool


how to deal with your Boss who is partial?

Partial to a particular person(employee)?\nA little difficult because of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepotism - Nepotism is rampant in the states, but if this describes the problem , you can focus on the needs of the company and make yourself stand out more by more greatly meeting the needs of the co.  To me, the ideal solution, is to become a boss yourself.  Or a business owner.  If you like what you do, consider starting your own small business and taking the knowledge you've gained working there to succeed.

how do you find the mass number of an element?

Take a look at any good Periodic Table of the Elements.  Here's a good one:\n\nhttp://www.webelements.com/\n\nThe number given under atomic weight. is given in standard atomic mass units (defined by taking the mass of a carbon-12 atom, and dividing it by 12).  For all practical purposes, we can assume that it is the mass of a proton/neutron (which again, for all practical purposes, we can assume have the same mass; we neglect the mass of electrons because the mass of an electron is about 1/3000 that of a proton or neutron).  \n\nFor example, the atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.  This is because hydrogen consists of 1 proton orbited by 1 electron.  However, on the perodic table, you will notice that the number is actually 1.00794.  This is bcause this number is the average of all isotopes.  An isotope is an element that has a different number of neutrons.  For example, a hydrogen atom with one proton and neutron in the nucleus, and an electron orbiting it is still hydrogen, but is known as deuterium (It is still defined as hydrogen by the number of protons in the nucleus), but has an atomic mass of 2. The other isotope of hydrogen (Tritium) has 2 neutrons in the nucleus and an electron orbiting it (an atomic mass of 3). Because these isotopes are so rare, the average mass of all existing hydrogen is close to 1, but is slightly higher.\n\nYou can find mass in Kg by dividing the atomic mass by avogadro's number (6.02 X 10^23).  There are 6.02X10^23 atomic mass units in 1Kg.

Is associate of Liberal Arts degree good.Will I be able to find a goog job after earning it?!?

So you're looking for a goog job, ehh? Well, goog luck! Mayhaps a google job would be better! In which case, anything liberal would be greeted with open arms! \nHonestly tho, why stop with the Associates degree? Better to go for the Bachelors degree since more employers tend to look for that than an Associates anymore. Of course, any college degree is helpful and any college degree with experience in the related field is preferred.

how do u make a crochet chain on your hand?

http://www.100hgh.com\n\nFold one side of the yarn down so that it is lined up in the center of the circle (refer to photo). This is in preparation to pull this yarn through the center of the circle.  \n\n\n Using your fingers or a crochet hook, pull the yarn through the center of the circle (first loop made).  \n\n\n If you haven't already, insert crochet hook into the loop just made.  \n\n\n Draw the loop up tighter by pulling with your fingers on the strands of yarn on both sides of the loop. Don't pull it too tight.  \n\n\n Step 6: Yarn over the hook.  \n\n\n Step 7: Pull this yarn through the loop on the hook (chain made). Hint Hold the last chain made between two fingers to keep it from drawing up smaller while you are pulling the next chain through. If you make your chains too tight, you'll find that you'll have difficulty in working the next row into these chains. If you keep your chains loose enough, crocheting the next row will be more of a pleasure! That's a good thing.  \n\n\n Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each chain that you need to make until you have made the number of chains needed in the starting chain for the pattern you are making.

If you have a "friends with benefits relationship" with a guy, should u get him an x-mas gift?

Let me preface this by saying that I'm a Mom to a teenager..maybe not who you want answering this question:)  My feeling is that if you've got a FWB relationship (which, contrary to popular belief is NOT a new concept;)) you're already GIVING him a gift.  That said...Consider this...if you had a non-FWB relationship, would you get him a gift?  Does the fact that you hook up occasionally merit a gift?  Do you buy gifts for other non-FWB friends?   Buying him a Christmas gift MIGHT imply to him that you want or expect more out of the relationship, and it would either lead to that next step, or skeeve him out and scare him off....therefore ruining your sweet, uncomplicated hook-up!\nJust my opinion.......

i have 38gb of music in itunes in the acc format is there an easy way to convert them to mp3 for burning to cd

Yes.  Select the songs you want to convert, then from the Advanced menu, choose "Convert selection to mp3."\n\nYou can also go to Preferences > Advanced > Burning and choose "mp3 Disc"  Then burn your songs to CD and they will be converted to that format in the process.  So, if making CDs is your final goal, this will take less time.


are cat`s like dogs as does 1 year equal 7 human years?

Actually, it's not accurate to say that dog's life is 7 years to ours, because dogs have different life expectancies. As a rule, I have been lead to believe that, the larger the dog the less it's life expectancy is, relatively. Apparantly cats can live about 15+ years now, but this depends on whether they enjoy being outdoors or indoors more

how business restructuring, organizational culture, and informal organizations can help businesses successfull

Each concept has benefits for different reasons.\n\nRestructuring can help a business refocus on an area in which it can exel while stepping away from areas in which it was either ill-suited or prepared to function.\n\nOrganizational culture is a powerful way to energize a company's workforce to embrace the way a business works.  Sometimes, just defining what you are doing and how it ought to be done can be as effective as overhauling a business.\n\nInformal organizations, as I see them, function as effective subsets of a business.  "Team" environments, especially ones encouraged but not mandated by management, can foster pride, interdependence, mutual abilities and interests, and give employees a greater sense of ownership in the products they are creating.

I am a 38 year old male who has been having a hard time meeting some available women.  Any ideas?

Are you a complete person? by this i mean, are you doing what you really want to do, are you happy, generous, etc.? if not, focus on finding yourself first, and the women will happen. This can be helped by participating in various activities, which may also help your find yourself, such a volunteering to help others, to raise funds for charitable causes you believe in, etc.. Once you are truly secure, confident, and believe in yourself, they will find you and greet you, and/or you will know which ones to approach and will do fine. If you have no idea how to do these things, get counseling and/or do some reading on self-help. Those who are desperate will find nothing; those who give will be happy. Happy people will attract others, its just the way it works.


how do you solve 2 variable systems of equations with fractional coefficients using inverse matrices?

If you have a system of equations with two variables of the form ax + by = c, dx + ey = f, where a,b,c,d,e,f are the coefficients, and x and y are variables, you can set up the equation as \n\n[a b][x] = [c]\n[d e][y] = [f]\n\n(ignore the fact there are two equals signs there, they're only there for formatting reasons)\n\nwhere the square brackets are a crude attempt on by behalf to 'draw' matrices and column vectors.\n\nTo solve the system you need to find the inverse of the matrix of the right hand side (assuming it's invertible to begin with), and "right multiply" (that is multiply from the right of each side of the equation) both sides of the equation.\n\nThat should give you:\n\n[1 0][x] = [ inverse of matrix ][c]\n[0 1][y] = [ ........................ ][f] \n\nThen it's just a matter of performing the calculation.\n\n(sorry for the crappy formatting of the post)

what are the seven wonders of the world(old)?

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, with the Pharos of Alexandria, is medieval in origin. Antipater's list had the walls of Babylon rather than the lighthouse. In alphabetical order, they are:\n\n1. Colossus of Rhodes — a huge statue of Helios, sculpted c. 292–280 BC by Chures, in present Greece. \n\n2. Hanging Gardens of Babylon — built by Nebuchadnezzar II, c. 8th–6th century BC, in present Iraq. \n\n3. Mausoleum of Halicarnassus — tomb of Mausolus, the Persian satrap of Caria, built c. 353–351 BC, at Halicarnassus, present Bodrum, Turkey. \n\n4. Pharos of Alexandria — lighthouse built c. 270 BC on Pharos island near Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy II by Greek architect Sostratus, in present Egypt. \n\n5. Pyramids of Giza — serving as tombs for the Egyptian pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, in present Egypt. Built during Egypt's 4th dynasty (c. 2575–ca 2465 BC) \n\n6. Statue of Zeus — at Olympia, carved by the Greek sculptor Phidias, c. 457 BC in present Greece. \n\n7. Temple of Artemis — 550 BC, at Ephesus, present Turkey. \n\n\nTwo of each of the wonders were within the territories of today's Egypt, Greece, and Turkey, and one in Iraq. The only surviving wonder is the first built, the Pyramids of Giza. The wonder with the shortest life span was the Colossus of Rhodes, which kept its erect posture for only 56 years before being brought down by an earthquake. There is some controversy as to whether the Hanging Gardens of Babylon ever in fact existed.\n\n---\nWelcome to y! answers. \nDo rate answers if you like them!\nHappy Asking!\n---

What do you think of teaching at a community college?

I like it. It can be frustrating because your students are often ill-prepared for the rigors of college, but I don't know any job that isn't frustrating at one time or another. It is quite rewarding to share your knowledge with others and to see the "light bulb" when they get it.


Is the current American election process truly determined by the people?

No, it is not determined by the people.  Since the electoral college excludes candidates who do not win pluralities in any individual states from its total, a candidate can win the electoral college without winning a majority of the popular vote of the nation. \n\nThis has happened 16 times since the founding of the electoral college, most recently in 2000. In every one of these elections, more than half of the voters voted against the candidate who was elected.

Will Bush withdraw the American Troops from Iraq...?


Hemp represented a threat to the cotton and wood pulp industries.  \n\nHarry J. Anslinger, the guy that was charged with forming the Bureau of Narcotics (now known as the DEA) needed something more than opiates to get his agency going (and advance his career).  He teamed up with William Randolph Hearst, who owned a lot of timber that he sold back to his newspapers.  Hearst wanted to protect his profits, Anslinger wanted to make a name for himself.  Hearst threw his yellow journalism skills into the mix, and it became illegal.\n\nIt stays illegal for 2 reasons -- continued opposition by the industries that would be affected by increased hemp production, and an irrational linkage of marijuana with harder drugs.

Where can I find full house season 2 the cheapest?

Go to a site like Froogle (http://froogle.google.com) and do a search for "full house season 2".  The DVD you want should be the first one on your results list.  Click on "Compare prices" and you'll get a list of sites where the DVD is available, listed in order from cheapest to most expensive.  There will also be a merchant rating to allow you to judge whether you trust the site enough to purchase from them.\n\nCurrently, the cheapest place it comes up is $19.49 at a site called Digital Cranium, but it's out of stock there and only 6 people have rated the site.  It's available for $20.99 from CD Universe, which has more ratings.  I also checked Amazon.com directly and they have it for $20.99 as well. \n\nYou might be able to get it cheaper through ebay (http://www.ebay.com) if you're willing to go that route.

initiation of quntam era in the dacade 1895-1905?

The events leading to the crisis in science from which Quantum Mechanics was born begain in 1859.\n\nIn 1859 Gustav Kirchhoff came up with the theorem about "black body" radiation, that is for something the absorbs all light that hits it. This will heat the material - no matter what it is - and will emit a specific energy distribution. However, Kirchhoff didn't know what the distribution was.\n\nWhat was quickly found that the distribution could be derived from only one side of the spectrum. If you derived the blue end, then the red end went to infinifty. If you derived the blue end, the the red went to infinity.\n\nFinally in 1900 Max Planck solved the problem by making an assumption - light can only have discrete values. That was strange since it had been assumed that light could have any frequency. But in the context of the blackbody problem a series of tiny steps in energy were needed to determine a correct solution to the black body problem.\n\nThen in 1905 Einstein was looking at something called the photoelectric effect which was also puzzling people. He solved the problem by using Planck's idea of quantized energy.\n\nThen in 1913 Neils Bohr came up with a way to understand the spectrum from a hydrogen atom by postulatins a quantization.\n\nSo by this point it was all taking off, soon to be added to be Shrodinger, Dirac, and Heisenberg into the comptete base of modern Quantum Mechanics.


There are many concepts of infinity, some poetic, some mathematic. In math its a pretty definite concept, poetically its just mind-boggling large. \n\n"If you remove a part from infinity or add a part to infinity, still what remains is infinity". \n\nSo what happens if you have one infinity, and remove bits of it to create another infinitity separated by a small space? You'd probably end up with two infinities, which means the concept has to be finite.\n\nSo as an amount, its indefinite, but as a concept, especially as a singularity in math, has a definite meaning (measurement was too confusing).\n\nFor example, in trigonometry tan 90° = ∞, and arctan ∞ = +/- 90°. So while the actual value of ∞ is unknown, the value itself has meaning.


What is the focus of the symbolic-interactionist paradigm?

The focus is the social symbols of people.\n“Symbolic Interactionist Paradigm: This is the paradigm used by sociologists who are most interested in understanding how people make use of symbols to understand their world. The meaning of these symbols is not “personal,” but social. In other words, symbols come to have meaning only as a result of people’s interactions with one another. Symbolic interactionists want to learn, for instance, how people come to learn and use symbols in their daily lives.”


What makes people more popular than others?

Contrary to popular opinion, it's not money or clothes... well that helps. But it's chocked up to confidence. Look the part. Someone that is outgoing w/ descent looks will go quite far. But popular is a relative term, popular is someone with alot of freinds, so you could be popular skinny, fat, green, purple, poor or rich just as the other way around. If you're outgoing and friendly, you can get friends no matter what.


how do i get a faculty job in high energy theory physics?

Academic pedigree.  Don't let anyone tell you that it doesn't matter.  It does.  Where you did your undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral work counts.  And with whom counts.  It would also help if you already had some independent funding set up.  Theoretical fields are harder to get funded, and money talks loudly.

Sir Issac Newton is considered to be the inventor of Calculus. However, that is a misconception. Neither Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz nor Sir Issac Newton is the ultimate creator of Calculus. They, perhaps, compiled the chaotic mathematical ideas into a subject named Calculus, but they definitely did not invent it.\n\nThe birth of Calculus, in a sense, is not like a birth of other subjects such as microeconomics or macroeconomics. Consider John Adams -- even if you did not learn about Economics at all, you probably heard the name mentioning several times from the movie Beautiful Mind --, for instance. He is basically considered to be the "the father of modern economics." During his period of time, no one really concerned much about economics though some philosophers and free thinkers thought about it. He basically invented and introduced the idea of economics into this world. But the subject Calculus is branch of Mathematics. To be specific, Calculus is the other ideas of mathematics that comes before it plus the concept of limit--that is what calculus is all about.\n\nSo, let's assume you cannot specifically name a person who invented calculus. Even so, is there any other person who devoted to himself or herself to the creation of Calculus beside Newton or Leibniz? Leonhard Euler, the invetor of so called "Euler's method" and other beautiful works, is one. Bernhard Riemann, a successor of transforming zeta function described by Euler into Riemann hypothesis, which is considered to be a most important unsolved mathematical idea, and familiar Riemann Sum, is another. Even after the deaths of Newton and Leibniz, the pursue to create a new part of Calculus has been continued. Taylor's series -- a way to approximate a nth term of a function with finite n -- has been invented. And the development of calculus still continues.


What is an AURA.. Is it some kind of telepathic energy?

According to New Age beliefs, an aura is a set of cascading colored outlines emanating from the surface of a person or object. It is a result of the emergence of chakra and it mirrors the supernatural energy field that surrounds and penetrates everything. In addition, an aura can be viewed by the naked eye. Training can improve one's ability to see auras. Many psychics, as children, such as Edgar Cayce assumed that everyone could see auras until they became older. Each layer of aura is separate and distinct yet connected to all the remaining layers. In the books of Carlos Castaneda auras are referred to as luminous cocoons.\n\nTo find more information, go to this site:

I am trying to mount a dual boot(linux/windows)?

Well the above answer is not entirely correct... \nThere are programs that will allows windows to see the drives. \n\nIt depends on the filesystem of the drive. \n\next2 and ext3 \ndrives can be seen by windows if you use \nhttp://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm\n\nreiserfs\nI do not think there is a way to mount it, but you can still view the files on it using http://yareg.akucom.de/ and its dependencies (look on the site). \n\nFor any other filesystems, just search yahoo.. Im pretty sure that you can find something that allows you to have some sort of access to the files on your laptop hd.

how many inches of snow make one inch of rain?

It depends on the structure of the structure of the snow particles, whether the snow is wet or dry (that is on air and ground temperature). It can be 4:1 or 8:1, and anything in between. Again, these are approximate values.


Place an ad in the paper saying you are looking for investors. Some vent caps place ads in tha paper saying they are Angels (No idea why).\n\nObviously you want to look into their history as best you can to know you are not being snowed. Ask them for folks you can contact to find out about their history of investing in projects.\n\nCheck to see if they have had alliaces or have declared banckruptcy. Check with the better business beuro BBB as to business history.


What are the differences between snow showers, freezing rain, sleet, and flurries?

Snow Shower - A short duration of light to moderate snowfall. Accumulations of snow are possible.\n\nFreezing Rain - Rain that falls in liquid form and then freezes upon impact with the ground or an item with a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit or less, possibly producing a thin coating of ice. Even in small amounts, freezing rain can cause traveling problems. Large amounts can pull down power lines and tree branches.\n\nSleet - Precipitation consisting of transparent pellets of ice, 5 millimeters or less in diameter. Also called ice pellets. Forms when snow enters a warm layer of air above the surface and melts and then enters a deep layer of sub freezing air on the surface and refreezes.\n\nSnow Flurries - Intermittent snowfall of short duration. No measurable accumulation of snow occurs.\n\nYour HW i guess? ;)

Where can I find software that will help me build a database for the web?

Hello,\n\nI know the exact answer for your problem.\n\nGo to http://www.drupal.com and download "Drupal".  Also, download the "Flexinode" module.  Set the system up on your server.\n\nOnce the system is set up, you will be able to completely customize the site to where you can add fields for "Author", "Publication Date", "Original URL", etc - or anything you can think of.  \n\nUsing Drupal, you can make a site like Slashdot, FreeRepublic, MetaFilter, or any number of others.


Only matter can reflect light, so outerspace isn't really dark, it's just an absence of matter. Dark matter, on the other hand, is actually dark. It's so dark, in fact, that it is impossible to see with the backdrop of space.\nKeep in mind, though, that the sky is blue not because air molecules are blue, but because of a refraction of light.\nEverything has to do with light...


God has been there since everlasting=Why is it that some people behave as though their "God" is the Best??

Among other religions, Christianity is considered the worst offender of this. Hinduism, Judaism, Sikhism and Islam have all reacted in the strongest terms to the dishonest way missionary groups try to seek (aka brainwash) converts.  One need only look at http://www.messiahtruth.com to see how one faith is responding to the systematic attack it has to withstand from Christian missionary groups.\n\nIntellectual debate between religions is fine, but attempting to mislead members of other faiths so that they are fooled into joining another faith is not acceptable by any standards.\n\nHere's a look at how missionaries are attempting to wipe out Hinduism and a response to the constant attack of missionaries:\nhttp://vivekajyoti.blogspot.com/2005/10/they-are-on-mission-to-destroy.html\nhttp://www.atributetohinduism.com/Conversion.htm


why do people when the cant answer a question about bushs screw ups they blame the media moore or clinton?

That's an easy. President Bush has screwed up over and over, but the Republicans don't see it that way. It has been proved time after time that Bush is a screw up, but yet Democrats and others get blamed. So to answer your question, it's all just a game that Politicians play with the people and as always they fall for it. It's easier to blame someone else than to admit your an idiot to the people.


How many spiders do you eat when you are asleep?

It's possible, but very, very rare. Most spider wouldn't be crawling on a bed, as most house spiders like the floor (especially places that aren't disturbed very often, like the basement). Spiders also don't like to walk on moisture or in windy places. So they wouldn't be likely to go into a mouth with moisture and breathing. One other thing is that even when people are asleep, I don't know how easy it would be to swallow a spider that doesn't want to be swallowed.


what is the best gift to give to my girlfriend?

Ok, I'm a boy, but hope this will give you a hint. For Valentine, chocolate is a must. If that is not enough, accompany the chocolate with other things, like wine, candy, or cards. You can even give an overkill expensive chocolate, like a branded-brandy-chocolate.\n\nActually, it will be better if you make the chocolate by yourself (you better make it delicious), but I think boy just can't do it. If you can, however, make it (and make it sweet, as sweet as your love)!! \nBtw, don't make it sweet if you know that your GF really HATES sweet ^_^ ...\n\nYou can also give your own handicraft, would be better if from your expertise field, like flower decoration, towel (with your picture), painting, psalm, etc. Just make it romantic (just because you are an insurance salesman and then you give her a insurance policy). Just don't forget to give this along with your chocolate!!\n\nMy advice: Just be yourself, and think with your heart (not head) what do you want to give her. Give it all, and always be there when she needs you. May be you can give yourself as a present? Don't be afraid , because you love her.

Digital photo management/ editing for Windows XP?

Windows XP is an Operating System just like Mac OS X.  SP stands for Service Pack.  Its basically an OS update especially for adding more security features to a "bare-bones" Windows XP OS.  The latest SP for Windows XP is SP2 and required by most software for proper installation.  \n\nI don't think that commercial software will allow you 2 downloads for one payment.  But most software do come with a software CD.  You can probably use the CD for software installation on the new computer.  \n\nAnother alternative is to use a free imaging utility like Google Picassa as mentioned above.  It is fast and has decent filters (but not comparable to Adobe Photoshop or Elements).

What are the differences between an inkjet and laser printer?

An inkjet printer uses ink cartridges and does not require special paper.  A laser printer uses a combination of heat and toner to produce high quality prints.  A laser printer requires the use of laser printer paper which is slightly more expensive than regular paper but not by much (last time I checked anyway).\n\nEventually you will have to replace the toner in a laser printer and it will cost you between $80 and $100 for a replacement toner but you don't have to do it very often.\n\nA cheap laser printer can be as little as $100 but will not print colors, only black and white.  There are color laser printers but they are very expensive.\n\nSee source links for more information about laser and inkjet printers.

I would like to know if you think 30 years old is too old to go back to school?

Look, I'm 28 and I'm going back in January. College as a young adult didn't work for me at all. Parties, politics, drugs and idiocy were all I ever experienced. 18 was just too young to think about holding the destiny of my future in my very hands.\n\nNow that I have lived a little I have a btter understanding of what it is I actually want to contribute to the world. I know what I will study and my time and money won't be wasted on classes that have no importance for me.\n\nI'm also very lucky because I live in NY and there is an excellent school that focuses on continuing education for adults with some college, most around 1-2 years. There is no age restriction and no course requirements, meaning if you are in, you can take as many or as few classes as you like until you are finished, be that 1 year or 35 years.\n\nLook for colleges with similar ciriculum. Talk to universities and many have programs particular for adults. And if you live in the North East, look into New School

Suggestions for staying awake in the afternoon?

Getting up and walking around helps a lot.  Drink some water.  Find a diversion that can keep you engaged for a minute or so when you get sleepy.  Sometimes when I get really tired in the afternoon I do math problems in my head or try to remember arcane facts about cars.  Q&A is also a good way to keep your mind alert...


Years ago, people would frequently say "Jesus H. Christ!", when swearing. Any idea of the meaning of the "H"?

Using the name of "Jesus Christ" as an oath has been common for centuries, but the precise origins of the letter H in the expression Jesus H. Christ are obscure. Whilst many explanations have been proposed, some serious and many humourous, the most widely accepted derivation is from the divine monogram of Christian symbolism, IHC or IHS. Since IHS already long ago gave rise to the pseudo-explanation Iesus Hominum Salvator (Latin for "Jesus savior of men"), it is plausible that JHC gave rise to "Jesus H. Christ".\n\nOne factor in the transmutation of the monogram into the expression Jesus H. Christ may be that when the first syllable of the phrase "Jesus Christ" is strongly emphasised (as some speakers of some English accents may do when cursing), the rhythm suggests a missing middle syllable between "Jesus" and "Christ". The H may have been adopted from the monogram to fill this gap.\n\nThere is a wide range of speculations on the origin of the expression, often intended as jokes, or else to be considered folk etymologies. Among the more common are\n\nthat the H stands for "Harold" or "Howard", as in "Our Father, who art in Heaven, HAROLD be thy name" (supposedly a child's mispronounciation of "Hallowed" in the Lord's Prayer). \n\nSimilarly in England, a common joke is that the H is for Henry - the letters INRI, seen on crosses and some graves, are a rough approximation of the Cockney "Henry". \n\nthat the H could stand for "haploid", owing to his mother's virgin birth.\n \nthat H simply stands for either "Holy" or "Hebrew", or that it was just chosen at random. \n\nthat the H stands for "Hallowed", implying he is indeed named after His Father.


Using p2p to download copyrighted material that you haven't paid for is illegal. However p2p has a plethora of other uses such as legal content distribution or open source distribution. \n\nOne of the best distribution models that exists today is Bittorrent. The bittorrent protocol breaks the file(s) down into smaller fragments, typically a quarter of a megabyte (256 KB) in size. Peers download missing fragments from each other and upload those that they already have to peers that request them. Open source software like Fedora, use Bittorrent to distribute their OS to greatly reduce the load on their servers.


Not all women like jewelry...just like not all men love to work on cars. Personally, I enjoy wearing rings and necklaces. I used to be big on earrings, but not much anymore. Also, some women like dimonds, or a specific stone. I happen to like Emeralds. Some women like gold, while others like silver. \n\nIf you're trying to determine a gift, take a look and see if she normally wears jewelry and if so, what kind. That should give you a starting point.\n\ngood luck!

1. Godfather goes without saying\n\nthen in no particular order:\ngoodfellas, shawshank redemption, scarface, and glory.


We only think with the right side of our brain, while women think with both.  We don't know we're dogs, and if you ask a dog "are you a dog?" it will not respond because it doesn't know the difference between itself and anything else.  I was not aware I was a dog until my first wife let me know, and then my second wife let me know.  Until then I thought I was doing okay, but now I know I haven't ever done anything right.  It's amazing the enlightenment a woman can bring into a dogs life.  So, I have built some mighty nice doghouses in my life knowing full well that I may have to take up residency there.

How much space would solar panels have to take up to provide the same amount of energy daily as oil does now?

Each solar panel produces 60w of power. You'd have to look at your bill and see how many kwh you use and divide that by 60w/hr. By the way, prices have gone down. Solar panels cost about $300 now. And if you get enough and produce more power than you use, you can sell that to some electric companies.\n\nAs far as oil, do that for the whole world and see, remember though, the solar energy is always there, going to waste if we don't use it we lose it.


The "N" word.  What is your take?  Has it become a double standard based upon who uses it and in what context?

It is such a hot-button topic, however, here's my take on it. First, for the black people who use it, I feel that they are seriously disrespecting their cultural history, their elders, & so forth. As for the whites who use the term...well...I think they are nothing more than ignorant bigots  who give the rest of us a bad name.\n\nAn interesting story for you regarding this & my reactions to the word's usage. I was in a store earlier this year & this young black man was shopping with his grandmother. He sees a friend a few aisles away & yells the word to him in greeting. I took a quick look at the grandmother's reaction & just LOST it..yeah, me, possibly the most white-bred woman on the planet :) I reamed that poor boy out & embarassed him so badly in front of everyone that he was practically on his knees apologizing to his grandmother. Still irritated, I turned to her before leaving & asked her why she didn't care enough about her heritage or the struggles she went through to impress them upon her grandson. I was so hot I had to leave the store in order to calm down. While outside, the boy comes out & actually apologized TO ME! He said that, until that point in time, he'd never thought that him using the word could upset a white person so badly & had never thought about it disrespecting his grandmother. Turns out, the woman had raised him most of his life & he couldn't believe he'd been doing something that could hurt her feelings.\n\nThe point here is that, if more people would have the nerve to react, whether black or white, we might have a chance of making this generation realize that they can't have it both ways; if they are going to use the word, they can't then get upset if others do the same & they also can't use it & then sit back & talk about being kept down or treated with bias by others. Usage of the word denotes acceptance or it's context, yet I feel that this is totally lost on most of this generation.


How would you like to see advertising interact with you in the future? Your thoughts...?

People want to see advertising that is entertaining or informative, and they want it to be something they are interested in. The internet will make this more and more possible, especially web 2.0 sites that gather limited user interest information and can deliver targeted ads. Affiliate marketing also makes this possible. I noticed that your service listing doesn't cover affiliate marketing, you should contact us sometime at http://www.kowabunga.com .


Should i take out a student loan and pay it back later, or try to work while i go to school?

This depends on the size of the loan, and your school work load.\n\nI find student loans to be easy to deal with.  If you are going to have debt, this is the best debt to have.\n\nI recommend taking the loan and really focuesing on school and school related activities.  This rounds out your future better then some type of meanial job   that you would have.

Tell me something about the "valution of Companies"? can thisbe applied to personal credit analysis also?

one measure of company valuation: market capitalization\n\nmarket cap = all shares outstanding times current share price.\n\nthis is basically the amount it would take to buy the company.  For instance, Yahoo's market cap right now is $59,290,000,000.00\n\norganizations that review your credit normally use a FICO score (Equifax uses this, the other two credit agencies use another variation).\n\nThere is not much of a correlation between the two in this example.  However, there are many ways to value different areas of a company's financial health which could be applied to an individual's credit (i.e., debt/income ratio).

How does a plane get the oxygen for the passengers?

Fresh air is from the engines.  The first stages of a jet engine compresses the air.  The air heats up when it's compressed.  Part of that compressed air is piped off and goes through heat exchangers, cooling it to about 32F.  That cool air and some of the hot air from the engine are combined to give a comfortable tempurature in the cabin.  This flow of air pressurizes the fuselage so that the passingers can breath normally.  Valves in the fuselage control this pressure, preventing over or under pressurization.

What was your reaction to William Hung's version of "She Bangs"?

Simon Cowell exploited this hapless Asian fellow for da money.


How long does it take for someone to answer one of these questions?

No, if anything, when you use those words, your question may be thrown away, anyway!  How fast people answer all depends upon how interested they are in your subject.


My sister found a dead bird in her house and swears its an omen. Besides being bad luck for the bird-is it?

in wicca/witchcraft...a dead bird in your yard is a bad thing.  Wiccans believe in nature.  If Nature choose to die at your doorstep, that means drastic changes/possibly death is coming to you.  FYI when a broom falls for no reason, it means company is coming.


What instruments have scientists come accross to control the weather?

Meteorologists now use doppler radar to better define weather systems, especially rain clouds.  Theoretically this should permit more accurate seeding of clouds with silver iodide (from planes or the ground) to produce rain needed for crops.  At one time hurricanes were seeded with some success; but think of the lawsuits if they steered one your way and you lost your house!!!


I need to find a forklift school to get certified in Aurora, CO?

Ask a fork lift driver where he got his training.   Most large companies with warehouses will train their own fork lift drivers and provide a way for them to get a certificate.

should my child be expected to read by the end of kindergarten?

Mine just turned 4 and he is reading a little.  I bought him a Leapster L-Max for Christmas and it's really good and he reads because he wants to know what to do next.  However, it may be a bad idea for me to let him get too far ahead and then go to a public school where he'll be bored going through the basic steps and probably start causing trouble.\n\nKindergarten is where they begin to learn the basics of reading and have enough knowledge to form words.  So No.


My sister embarrasses me infront of my boyfriend, does she want him from me?

Probably not. Most sisters like to give each other a hard time sometimes. It is just part of life I guess. I remember one of my boyfriends came over one time and my sister stomped his foot. She was in 5th grade and I was in 8th. When she was older I liked to tell embarrasing stories about when she was little to her boyfriends. We are close, but as I say we like to give each other a hard time. It wasn't to try to steal the boyfriend away.

can ne1 tell me a good anti-virus and spyware thing that is free to download and small in k?

There are a few programs that I swear by and will never log on to the web without. They are --\n\n1. SpyBot-Search & Destroy 1.4\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html\n\n2. SpywareBlaster 3.4\nhttp://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html\n\n3. WebWasher Classic 3.4\nhttp://www.cyberguard.com/products/webwasher/webwasher_products/classic/index.html?lang=de_EN\n\nAll three of these programs are freeware and they'll really help to keep spyware from being put on to your computer, as well as help to remove any spyware that may already be there.\n\nI am not a big fan of 'Ad-Aware', regardless of all of the wonderful testimonials from others as to how well it works. While it does find and clean 'adware' per se, what it usually finds is minimal stuff (like MRUs - whoopee).\n\nUsing all three of the programs that I recommended should help to keep your computer in very good shape.\n\nBTW - I'm running Win98SE and all of these programs work very well on my system. Hope this helps you.


I've been skiing since i was about ten (so about 11 years now) and I tried snowboarding two years ago - i fell so much.  no matter who you are, when you first snowboard, you will fall, and generally a lot.  but that is what makes it so incredible when you are able to make a trip down the slopes without falling.  \n\nOnce the pain is gone, the pride remains.\n\ndont give up - and try it - i am now riding black diamonds and loving it.


what is the square root of the 3rd multiple of 99.567?


Be honest, have a good time, and be sure to ask questions that lead to discussion versus yes/no response.  Think "why is this important" instead of "is this important"


What is the "rock" and the "hard place" in that phrase?

BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE -- From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" (1996): "Between a rock and a hard place. Forced to choose between two unpleasant options. The expression originated in the early twentieth century in the United States. It usually follows 'to be caught'." \n\nThe "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" by Robert Hendrickson (Fact on File, New York, 1997) says "the expression was probably born in Arizona during a financial panic early in this century."


You can't, since it's knowledge based off of what we learn from our environment. It'd be the same as trying to describe, for example, a horse, to someone who has never seen a horse. With that example you might could give him a broad idea of what it looks like, but it would be impossible to get an accurate  and completely correct image without having actually experienced seeing one before. With colors, it's more absolute; you either know what a color looks like or you don't (unless you try to explain jungle green as a mix between forest green and dark green or something really confusing like that :-P)
