You are correct, it is unbiblical for a preacher to require members to tithe of income. Also tithing was always food never money and the tithe was always eaten by the tither. Read Deut. 12 and 14. Can a church survive? Yes but not as a mega church. the churches would be smaller and be more quality than quantity (Jesus himself only had twelve apostles). Eliminate tithing and the pastor is forced to live by faith, not many of them want to do that though.Our church does not believe in tithing of income nor do I take an offering(some do give anyway). When God decides it is time to close up then we will close up. All churches should run on faith not business tactics. The only thing most pastors have faith in is their ability to con their members out of more money.\n\nAnd in Malachi when it mentions will a man rob God(preachers love that one) no one mentions that this is written to the Levitical priests Mal 2:1. It was the priests stealing the tithe from the tithers. It must be an honest mistake that they forgot this. lol. Malachi 3:8 ties in with I Samuel 2:12-17. There were corrupt priests stealing then and there are corrupt preachers stealing now. I can hear the lake of fire calling for them now. Shhh listen and you will hear it also, it sound sorta like this 'will the ushers please come forward'

I am starting in the mortgage business,how do I obtain qualified leads to start my business?

There are several places that will sell leads, however you can expect about a 60-90% fall out. Also they require you to purchase the leads in bundles. Your best bet is to go around to different Real estate Agents, and talk to them about what you can do. Be preparred to get some real crap loans starting out. They like to test you and see how good you are before they send you their "A" paper. Also be sure that if you say you can do something you deliver on it .. most agents talk to one another and a bad reputaion will kill any potential of aquireing new agents.


What is "green shoe option"? Will anybody care to explain quoting an example, please?

A green shoe, or overallotment option, allows underwriters to buy up to an extra 15% of shares at the offering price from the issuer for a period of several weeks after an offering. \n\nOn a 10 million-share deal, for example, the underwriter will actually take orders for 11.5 million shares, which includes the 15% represented by the green shoe. The underwriter is in effect short 1.5 million shares, says Scott Sipprelle, co-founder of Midtown Research in New York City. \n\nIf demand is sufficient and buyers support the stock on their own, the underwriter will go ahead and take those extra shares at the issue price from the issuer -- called exercising the green shoe -- to meet this demand. If the demand is not there, the underwriter won't exercise the green shoe but will instead buy the shares back from the market. This tactic reduces the amount of supply in the market and can help support the stock price.

Maybe she is with you because she needs something to fill the hole in her broken heart for the moment, but how can you be sure she is loving you because of who you are.

ok, everyone, gonna lay it down right now, this is to canadians, americans , whatever, to label an entire group of people is ignorant and prejudice, and blatently at that. 100% doesnt exsist when it comes to groups of people, 100% arent going to be moronic, 100% arent going to be smart, 100% arent going to participate in a certain activity or know certain things, it takes only ONE to ruin 100, remember that,and seriously, it really angers me to see any1 from any country bashing another. and here are my thoughts on certain topics ignorant masses like to pick at for giving US bad remarks, such as the kerry bush election, when it comes to that , its in my opinion we were choosing the lesser of 2 evils, kerry wasnt exactly very well in himself oh and another thing, not even all of us voted for bush so even if it wasnt that situation >_> your still a mornonic goon for saying all americans are stupid for electing bush...when not even all did vote for him >_> nextly i think government propganda is also to blame for prejudice hatred of americans, media purposely driven in an anti-american tone filled with subliminal ways of making u think a certain way yes american media does the same, but all do also. i could seriously go on but  im not going to waste any more of my time explaining what should be an obvious thought of stupidity, hating an entire group of people, something mr."k2remi" seems to not mind thinking, an example of someone truelly idiotic

Again think eyeball while cleaning.\n\nI use distilled water and a soft cloth. \n\nIf this is a notebook don't mistake keyboard impressions as dust or grime. I have seen dozens of Dell and Apple notebook key images scored into the LCD screen. They can't be cleaned.

Non-financial information would include things like customer satisfaction surveys, employee turnover, product defect rates, company image in the community, employee absenteeism, days without an accident, etc. In other words, don't just pay attention to the bottom line, there are other things that are important too.


what r transgenic species,give examples & what r 3 of the  ethical issues that arise regarding this subject?

The previous answer would be exellent except it is dead wrong.  You've confused transgenic with hybrid.\n\nA transgenic organism is an organims whose genome has been artificially altered.  For example, a transgenic cow may be altered to produce human insulin excreeded in her milk (which is excellent for treating diabetes).\n\nMajor ethical issues include, of course, the issue of "playing god," mentioned above.  More relevant issues tend to revolve around animal cruelty.  Basically, you've got some cow embryo (or whatever animal you're using) and alter its DNA to make it produce human insulin.  Great for the diabetic people getting the insulin, but what about the cow?  Is it right to keep her locked up for our use?  Was it right to mess with her DNA in the first place?\n\nTrangenic species can also be used to produce enhanced versions of the animal (ex. a cow that yields twice as much meat).  This creates some more animal cruelty issues, and maybe some issues about fair competition.\n\nTransgenic species are also commonly used in medical research (as well as other areas of biology) to test to effects of potential drugs and study the modes of action of certain diseases.  Animal testing has its own set of ethical issues.

If after a couple dates we like each other, but are 2 hours apart, would it be wrong to move in together?

How many dates is a couple?\nTo me that means only TWO.\nYou are both adults with kids, slow down. Allow the kids to get to know each other, take them into consideration, it is not only you two this move would change.\n\nThis will affect their lives too. Make time to introduce the kids on Weekends, Holidays, go to dinners together and at any old time. Get them comfortable with each other, at the same time you will begin to learn all the things you would have never found out about the other person.\n\nKids are straight foward little people. You could never pretend to be someone else around them your kids will sell you out at the drop of a hat.\n\nTrust me I know.

How do you make love with an insulin pump in you? (I have diabetes)?

When you have a pump, there is a stint that stays in you like with an IV, but the pump and tube itself can be removed if you're going to be active. You won't need insulin during love-making or any other physical activity. The stint is small and you can place it wherever you think is more comfortable - even your backside. When your activity is finished, you can just replace the tube in the stint and you're good to go.

what is the biology term for amimals that leave their mother at birth vs. aminals that stay w/mother at birth?

Hmm, I'm not sure there is an answer. If there is I have never heard it used.\n\nThe closest I can think if is indepdenent vs. dependent  but that is more of a descripive distinction than a biological one.\n\n_______\n\nI considered altricial and precocial but it simply doens't answer the question.  \n\nChickens and cows are the textbook precocial animals, the young are born well developed and can run and even feed themselves within minutes of being born. But chickens and cows certainly don't leave their mothers at birth. In fact both animals have come to symbolise motherhood and maternal care in western culture.\n\nIn contrast many fish are altricial and are born without functional mouths or any ability to feed themselves. Yet these species almost all leave the parent at birth, or simply hatch weeks after the parent has abandonded the eggs. They rely entirely on internal food reserves to survive  until they are capable of feeding.\n\nAny suggestion that all or even most precocial animals leave their nothers at birth is just plain wrong. And any suggestion that all altricial animals stay with the mother following birth is equally wrong.\n\nIt wouldn't surprise me if altricial and precocial are the answers the teacher is looking for, but they are in no way the correct answers to the question asked.

is this bird flu REALLY that dangerous? or just a fad?

The bird flu isn't really dangerous now, but it has potential to become a serious threat. The main problem with bird flu is its high resistance to antibiotics. And everytime one of those few people with it are treated, there is the chance that new strains resistant to that treatment will develop. \n\nThe main difference between bird flu and malaria is that we generally have malaria isolated in africa, with few exceptions, where as we dont really know how far bird flu has spread. There's also vaccines to prevent malaria and drugs to treat it.\n\nAlso, bird flu hits and kills a person very fast.. typically wthin 3-4 days. The potential of the bird flu has been compared The spanish flu back in 1919 that killed 50-100 million people in a 1 year time span. In comparison, 1-2 million people die from malaria every year.

Is y= 3/5x - 2 perpendicular, parallel, or neither to y = -5/3x + 3/5?

2 lines are parallel if their slopes are equal. 2 lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1 (or if the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the other)\nFrom your given, the slope of the first equation is 3/5\nusing y = mx + b (m is the slope)\nThe slope of the second equation is -5/3. Notice that their product is -1, so the lines are perpendicular.

is sufism accepted by the universal islam?

Traditional Islamic schools of thought and Sufism\nIslam traditionally consists of a number of madhhabs (i.e of Sunni, Shi'a and of their subdivisions). Sufis do not define Sufism as a madhhab. What distinguishes a person as a Sufi is practicing Sufism, usually through association with a Sufi order. Belief in Sufism is not sufficient for being recognized as a Sufi. These facts lead to some ambiguity because Sufism has characteristics of a tradition and, for example, use of the term "Sufi Islam" is generally accepted.\n\nW. Chittick explains the position of Sufism and Sufis this way:\n\nIn short, Muslim scholars who focused their energies on understanding the normative guidelines for the body came to be known as jurists, and those who held that the most important task was to train the mind in achieving correct understanding came to be divided into three main schools of thought: theology, philosophy, and Sufism. This leaves us with the third domain of human existence, the spirit. Most Muslims who devoted their major efforts to developing the spiritual dimensions of the human person came to be known as Sufis \nThe relationship between traditional Islamic scholars and Sufism is complicated due to the variety of Sufi orders and their history.\n\nIn the history of Sufism, the founders and early scholars of the schools (madhhabs) had positive attitudes towards Sufism, for example Imam Hambal used to visit the Sufi master Bishr al Hafi frequently[10]. Later, there were some scholars who considered some aspects of Sufism rank heresy as well as those like Al-Ghazali who defended Sufis as true Muslims. In time, even the controversal words of Al-Hallaj came to be accepted by some scholars.\n\nToday, most Muslims hold Tasawwuf, in the sense of Sufi doctrines and philosophies, to be the science of the heart or gnosis (as distinct from other branches of Islamic knowledge which are exoteric in nature) and appreciate Sufis for their extensive contributions to Islamic arts and philosophy. Many Muslims who are not themselves Sufis are influenced by Sufi teachings.\n\nModern criticism of Sufism by Muslims has different aspects, the most important being criticizing the lifestyle of some Sufis like the wandering dervishes, and holding rigid beliefs in Sufi Shaykhs.\n\nSome Muslim movements (such as Salafism, alternatively called Wahabism, a fundamentalist Islamic movement) hold Sufism to be a form of reprehensible innovation influenced by unislamic sources [11], [12]. Although some Islamic scholars hold their view on the issue to be baseless and assert the position that Sufi spirituality is essentially Islamic, adherents of Sufism argue the necessity of mysticism in Islamic practice and a figurative interpretation of their religion. [13]\n\nAlthough Sufism as a whole is approved in Islamic thought, there is a tendency to distinguish between different Sufi thoughts and practices in terms of their conformity with Shari'a and hence the introduction of an Islamic or authentic form of Sufism by religious authorities.[14]\n\nFor example in Shi'a Islam, a form of Sufism held to be in conformity with Shari'a is called Irfan (lit. gnosis\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sufi#Traditional_Islamic_schools_of_thought_and_Sufism

I'm about to join the USAF.  Would I be able to keep my t-moblie and yahoo account?

Yes, you will be able to keep both. I had both a Yahoo e-mail account and a T-Mobile cell phone account while in the military. Nothing happened to my Yahoo account while I was in boot camp (other than getting a lot of e-mails to clear out!) and as for my cell phone, there are many companies (I don't know about T-Mobile) who will, as a previous commenter said, suspend your account while you're in basic training. You will NOT have access to that phone while you're in basic training and the companies know that. \n\nYou can hold any account you want while in the military; many companies will even give you better rates because they know that they are guaranteed to get their money--if you don't pay, the military will force you to. \n\nThey will not watch your activity, even if you have a job that has a top secret security clearance.\n\nIf you need any more information, please feel free to contact me.

Has this country has gone too far in helping illegal aliens and catering to minorities?

absolutely, they both (aliens and minorities) play on the sympathies of the rest of the country. theres a reason the u.s. Was the most powerful country in the world for so long and it wasnt because we were listening to illegals and minorities whine, it was because the red blooded american citizens ( black yellow purple and green white orange and "other") did what needed to be done to get the job done. now the aclu naacp and others continue to blame " the man " for  everything thats wrong now, the very same "man" who made this country happen and its a shame. the illegals should go home, and the whining minorities should apologize for undermining the rules our forefathers laid out with good intention, instead of abusing the system every which way possible.

First of all age really is just a number as long as he is over 18. If he only pays attention to you and would rather spend time with you than those other women his own age than I would say give him a chance. I have a friend who is dating a younger man too and they seem to be getting along just fine she is 29 and he is 23. Give him that first date then you'll find out if his feelings are real.

They will only use stitches if they give you an episiotomy (cut) so the baby can come out.  and they'll only stitch you up as far as you were when the cut was performed.  There are no "extra stitches" and there is no making it tighter.  Usually if there is a male in the delivery room with the mother the dr. will tell them not to even ask for an extra stitch up front!  Grow up.


Who is against gay marriage if u are the tell why if u r not then tell me why...?

I have no problem with gay marriage.  Some people feel it is a sacred institution. I feel it is far from that.\n\nFirst, we must remember that marriage is not a holy ceremony.  It is a civil ceremony. It is a contract. It was added to the church after it had been in place. That is why you do not have to at church to marry. People who are religious who want to have it there can.\n\nSecond, the divorce rate is so high I feel people do not take it as seriously as they should.  If two people that they want to share their lives together, they should be allowed to do it. I bet the divorce rate would go down if gay marriage was allowed.\n\n  \nAnother argument I have heard is that once we change this then people who want to marry multiple people will have a better chance of getting that passed.  The law would not be changed so much that the jump to polygamy would be made possible.  It would still be with two people who love each other.\n\nSo to recap marriage is not a religious ceremony.  Marriage is already flawed, as people get divorced about half the time.  We will not have to worry about people pushing polygamy, as it would be an illogical argument.


What should I do with a 16 yr. old step-son, who is a sociopath, to keep him from my 16 yr. old daughter?

1st and foremost GET YOUR DAUGHTER OUT OF DANGER!  If that means leaving then do it!\n2.) get him help NOW!  Talk to his dr. and tell him what you are telling us.  If that doesn't help call children and family services and they WILL get him help. Or they will place him somewhere where he will have to deal with his problems.\n3.) family counciling is a MUST for ALL of you not just him.  It will give you ways to help deal with this.\n4.) Put up a united front, ALL of you.  And stick to boundries you make.\n\nHe doesn't sound like a sociopath or the sociopathic personality but he does sound like a young man in alot of pain and doesn't know how to deal with this.  Drug abuse doesn't just effect the abuser but the rest as well, expecially children!  GET HELP FOR ALL OF YOU!

I think that you should try and pick up on the things that she is interested in; girls love to talk, and they love to talk about themselves. If she tends to talk more about , say, English, than Physics, then you'll know that she's into Literature and stuff like that. When you pick up on that topic that she likes, you can later elaborate; If she likes certain authors over others, you can talk about their books, or music for instance, that is how you'll know whether she shares the same tastes as you do. The bottom line is, be attentive, and flow with the conversation; if you have good chemistry with her, then all the topics will flow naturally,and nothing will seem forced, like, you're trying to see what she likes other than school. \n\nI hope this has been helpful to you, and I wish all the luck.

isnt it hamas elected throuh democratic way ?

Wasn't Hamas elected through a democratic process?  Possibly, but perhaps a lot of good people were too scared to vote because of perceived or actual threats.  Who knows if there was massive voter fraud, and who is going to look into the matter?  It even happens in sophisticated socities such as the United States.  But, assume it was a fair election.  Imagine if you took all the Americans who were backwards, uneducated and violent, sprinkled them with a few smart people who are good, what do you think the country would end up with?  Bottom line is a terrorist group was elected, probably by other terrorists and supporters.  I wish some of our citizens who "put down" America (not syaing you were) would go to places like that and live for a while.  You will either die or change your mind about what you should be thankful for.  It may not be perfect, but it is not bad.  Just vote in 2008 and support your choice or party.  At least you have that freedom.


what mass of hydrogen peroxide must decompose to produce .7g of water?

First figure out the chemical reaction,\n\nHydrogen PerOxide deomposes into water and Oxygen gas,\n2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2\n\nYou now know that there is a 1:1 ratio for each mole of Hdrogen peroxide decomposing to form water.\nFor first figure out how many moles of water .7 grams if from the molar mass of water (18.02 g/mol) and then you know how many moles of H2O2.  The after you know the moles of H2O2 needed, convert to grams using the molar mass of Hydrogen PerOxide (34.02 g/mol).

Is my motherboard compatible with my hard drive?

hmmm. I dont quite follow that response but it strikes me as fairly well informed..\n\nIf you are attempting to put this in a computer that already works you may need to install specific drivers for the sata connection, if they were not installed by default when you installed the motherboard drivers and such. If you did not have this drive in when you installed windows, it may not have installed the storage drivers...\n\nI was thinking you may need the large drive support drivers but I am not sure. I believe that is over 137 gigs.\n\nbelow is a link to the drivers that may make it work.\n\nex. If I dont have my scsi drivers on a floppy, windows can't see the drive to install it during my windows install. \nBefore you try this I would go to windows update and see it it offers storage drivers as well.\nhope this helps.

A child will learn   100%   of what he will learn his entire life by age  of death.\n\nWe remain children all our lives-continuously learning and adapting. Our brains are "plastic" and malleable, so we learn throughout our lives.\n\nBesides, all children are different; i don't see how people can say that a child learns 90% of what he will learn his entire life by age 10 or something like that.

why does fruit punch give me so much indegestion?

Some fruits, especially citrus fruit, contains a lot of acid and can be hard to digest, and if you're prone to acid reflux, it can be very hard on your stomach.  Try making your own blends and experiment with fruit juices that your stomach has less of a problem with. There are some reduced acid juice options you might want to try. You might also want to try chewing a Tums after every serving. The added calcium is a bonus anyway.

Why is the Buddha depicted in different ways?

Because there are different Buddhas :) \nBuddha simply means enlightened one, so thus there are many figures of the many people who became enlightened, became a Buddha.\n\nNo, once the man has been enlightened, they have achieved what is called moksha, it's a release from the cycle of birth, karma and death. Thus they can not be reborn again. \nSome Buddhists believe that you have 18 incarnations (or so) until you achieve enlightenement, others see it as limitless, however they are all searching for the same thing :) \n\nWhat's most interesting is that Siddhartha asked them to not make "a god" out of him: ie: make these huge and wonderful sculptures that they pray to. Now, they've made sculptures of all the many ancient Buddhas, but I just think they're all amazing. I hope to go over to Thailand/Japan sometime to see a few of them in person.\n\nTri- Thank you for your input too, I wasn't aware about the difference between the Buddha and the bhodisatva.

Even though this question's answer will change depending on who is answering, there are specific chemical triggers in your brain cells (neurons) that affect certain areas of your brain that can give you those lovely little butterflies, your brain reacts to this chemical the same way it reacts to drugs like cocaine and e.

It's free! Save it.\nThe Logitech unit is quite simply the best handheld scanner I've used--a combination of functional, innovative hardware design and powerful, easy-to-use scanning and image-editing software.\n\nThe size, shape, and feel of a handheld scanner matter a lot, and I find the Logitech unit fits my hand exceptionally well. To solve the common problem of the unit wiggling as you pull it across the original, the Logitech has been designed with one wide roller in the front and two smaller ones in the rear, providing a smooth, stable motion.\n\nThe second major problem with hand scanners is velocity--if you move the scanner too quickly (usually very easy to do), your results suffer from serious distortion. Logitech tackled this challenge with a Scanning Speed Indicator light that's clearly visible on the top of the unit. If you're moving at an appropriate speed the indicator glows green. Move a little to quickly, and it turns yellow. Exceed the speed limit entirely, and it turns red, indicating that you'd better start over.\n\nAnother smart design decision is the use of a single press of the scanning button to turn the unit on and keep it on until you indicate completion of your scan by hitting the keyboard Return (or Enter) key. Too many handheld scanners expect you to hold that button down throughout the scan--and that constant pressure makes it too easy to move the scanner off course.\n\nThe other key to Logitech's success is the Ansel image-editing software included with the unit. Running under Microsoft Windows 3.0 (which must be purchased separately), Ansel combines basis ease of use with several powerful filtering commands. I have been able to dramatically improve scans of mediocre originals by employing. Ansel's Smooth, Sharpen, and Equalize commands.\n\nThe only negative involved in using the ScanMan is the size of the unit--its scanning width measures just 4.1 inches across. Ansel does allow you to "stitch" two separate scans together to create a full-width image--it works reasonably well with line art, but photographs are more problematic. As long as you're working with reasonably small originals (snaphsot-size photos or modest-size clip-art images), though, the ScanMan produces remarkably high-quality output at a very reasonable price.\n\nCOPYRIGHT 1992 Freedom Technology Media Group\nCOPYRIGHT 2004 Gale Group


Will an asteroid crash into the Earth in 2032?

No. But there will be one that comes pretty damn close. If you use a search engine like Yahoo! you can find out about the near miss that happend not too long ago (I think around November 1998). It was never on the news for good reason.  But we had a close call that could have wiped us all out. Check it out. Its very interesting. The site even give you a scale to show the asteroids proximity to earth, its course and what day it will pass by again. Hope that helps.

What is the exact max amount of coins each (quarters, nickles and dimes) for any given value?

Maximize the nickels (since they have the smallest value, it takes the most of them to make up the value you want) and use 1 each of nickels and dimes.\n\neg. $1.00 = .25 + .10 + .65\n         1 quarter, 1 dime, 13 nickels\n\n\n$15,348.30= .25 + .10 + 15,347.95\n         1 quarter, 1 dime, 306,959 nickels :)\n\nOr, for a formula, subtract $0.35 (the value of 1 quarter and 1 nickel) from the amount, then divide by $0.05.  This is the number of nickels you need, add 2 to get the total number of coins.


For a beginner to learn writing website, what is the easy way? Using Mirosoft word? HTML too complex.?

what is slogen for chemical engineering?

I'm a Materials Engineer (close to a Chemical Engineer) and am not familiar with a slogan for chemical engineering.  Chemical Engineers do many things, but many times are concerned with chemical processes, that is, desiging how the chemicals react and where the chemicals flow.  So a similar name might be Chemical Process Engineers, although process engineers are a little more concerned with controlling large scale production, while Chemical Engineers are more concerned with developing a functioning chemical process.  Does this help?

It looks as though you have a 5 series BMW.  California only has 91 as its highest octane gas.  Your car should be able to run just fine on 91 and even on 87.  How often do you have your foot all the way down to the floor?  This is the only time an engine requires high octane.  A car like a BMW does not run hot or overloaded (well, it is a bit heavy) and has sophisticated electronics and sensors to adjust the ignition timing to work with lower octane gas.\n\nOctane is a funny thing.  People assume that just because it costs more and has a bigger number it is better.  There are all kinds of crazy myths about it giving you more power or better mileage or, get this, it cleans your motor.  In fact, a higher octane gas has lower BTU and will not burn as clean or as powerful as a lower octane gas.  Octane is raised by adding additives to a gas to make it contain less energy, period.  Having less energy it becomes less volatile and is less likely to flare off from glowing hot carbon deposits on your piston crowns or "ping". -("ping" is an audible knock or ping from your engine, much like the sound you get when shaking up a can of spray paint)-  \n\nGo with as low of an octane rating that you can that won't make your car ping under your driving conditions.  Start out with 87 and find a long, tall hill (not too difficult in San Fran) and put your foot into it in a high gear.  If the motor pings step up to 89 octane.  How much do you want to bet your BMW will never ping?  In fact, I bet it's a marketing gimick from BMW to say it requires 93 octane.  Only high performance air cooled motors like early Porsche or VW's require high octane - hence the association with performance and high octane, and Vin Diesel.


how can arthritis be stopped,and cured,especially of the knees?no drugs please.Also how can it be prevented?

There are a few different types of arthritis but the one you have is probably "osteoarthritis". Osteoarthritis is inflammation due to degenerative changes from excessive loading of the articular surfaces of the joint. In your case, this has most likely occured due to your prior injuries, which places more stress on the cartilage in your knee, leading to degeneration and pain.\n\nThere is no true cure for this disease, however various surgical and medical means exist that may relieve your symptoms or slow progression.\n\nSurgery: If ligaments or the meniscus were torn in your old injury, surgical repair can restore some measure or congruity to the articular surfaces thereby reducing the progression of osteoarthritis. More drastic surgical measures include total knee replacement or osteotomies.\nMedical: Various types of anti-inflammatory drugs are worth trying and can relieve pain as well as reduce swelling. Newer drugs called glucosamines have come into the market which claim to slow the degeneration or even promote repair of the joint lining, although concrete evidence for these claims is controversial.\n\nThe best thing you can do now is to avoid straining your knees too much. Exercise can strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve your condition. However, take care to avoid high impact activities such as long-distance running etc. Swimming and cycling are very good alternatives to consider.

How do I get over breaking up with my ex-boyfriend (**cry**)?


i need to know what a baseball was made of in the 80s and 90s and the weight and other specifics....thanx?

In addition to the first poster, who is correct, MLB baseballs have a cork center.  This is surrounded by blue and red rubber (why the color difference, who knows), and then by string and wooly yarn... in several layers.  The string is the last item before the cover.  Then, the ball is stitched with 108 stitches of red yarn, which hold together 2 figure-8 sections of painted cowhide (they don't use horsehide anymore).  It's been this way, supposedly, since waaaaay back.  Oh, they would never juice the ball :p\n\nAlso, balls tend toward the smaller of the allowed dimensions: optimally, they are 5 oz, 9" in most leagues...


News media are controlled in a variety of ways, including laws that govern their practices-libel and slander legislation- controlled by advertisers (the need for revenue) and the level of professionalism displayed by media practiioners (eg. having untrained reporters in the newsroom can pose major ethical questions, as well as media owners who do not understand the importance of a free press) Good luck with ur paper.


That's a weird one to answer because of the way it was phrased.\n\nWhat SHOULD you want?  You should want world peace, an end to hunger, that sort of thing.


I live in the US and I am a spouse of US citizien. my passport runs out before my immigration process is done?

I would suggest that you contact your consulate in the US and fill in the required forms for a renewal. While during your interview process they can ask u for a valid passport, the expired passport with the renewal form's receipt would be sufficient. But in any case please consult your immigration attorney.

Dare I say it - the Super Bowl commercials were not that good?  Do you agree?

I was disappointed.  I think they have been better in the past.  I am NOT a Jessica Simpson fan, but with all the build up I was looking forward to seeing her spot......which I never did see.  Did anyone?\n\nI did think the "magic refrigerator" was funny, but at $2.5 million per 30 second spot, I expected ALOT more.


if you could go back in time what would you do?

I would go back to see my sister.  She passed away almost four years ago, and I would give almost anything to see her again :)

So many things can cause echo that there is no magic bullet.  Lets try some basics.  Get rid of the cordless for a little bit and put an old fashioned,wired decent quality handset in its place. Is the echo constant or intermittent ?  Some people have it while others don't?  Always the same people?  Does it happen more during peak internet usage times?  Do you notice latency (longer delays in your voice getting to them and visa versa) along with the echo?  Feed me more info and I will try and help.\n\n\nFeb 22 4:43 PM -  How much delay in the echo? This would give clues as to where the echo is originating. I am having a hard time coming up with a cause that would be within your control.  The speed question the provider asked you is a red herring.  The fattest voice codec is only 64kbs so the lowest upload speed would suffice. Is the ATA attached to a router or straight to the cable modem?  Did you change out the phone cord when you changed the phones out?\n\nFeb 23 702 PM  -  That is probably the culprit.  (I hope) The long rj11 cord combined with its poor condition (if I am right) would cause an impedance mismatch.  Normal impedance in the US is 600 ohms.  Everything is tuned to have all sounds come together when the system is at 600 ohms.  When it is off a little, some of the callers voice gets reflected back up the line.  The echo would be about 3/4 to 1 second after the caller speaks for this to have been the culprit. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you because if it still persists you will have to fight with the provider to get them to fix their problem.  If you need to pursue this further I can set you up with an account and a test number to prove that it is not your internet connection.\n\n  email voip AT rapheal DOT no-ip DOT com\n\nFeb 24 8:00 PM Still have my fingers crossed for you

Around what date does the Rideau Canal usually close for skating?

As someone who lived in Ottawa for 20 years my answer would be around the end of February.  Usually the last weekend of winterlude ends up being pretty warm and everything melts...due to budget stuff they rarely do upkeep to the canal once winterlude ends.  Hope that helps!


Actually, there are rather sophistocated ways of proving that pi is irrational, which means that it can never be written completely in decimal form. I have seen a proof before, but the concepts were too difficult for me to grasp. Therefore, we ARE SURE that pi can never be fully expressed as a decimal expansion, i.e. it will go on forever with no repeating pattern.\n\nHere is just one web example for the proof. \n\nhttp://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~hr/numb/pi-irr.html

Best way is exercise.  Start with cardio if you haven't done it in a while and mix it up with weights once you think you can handle it.  Cut down on caffeine and sugar.  Cut down on alcohol.  Drink a lot of water and a lot of tea--tea with chamomile at night will help you to relax before bed (there is one out there called Sleepy Time by Celestial Seasonings--does the trick every night).\n\nPretty soon you'll feel better mentally and physically.\n\nYou can also get yourself a couple good jazz or classical CD's.  Check out the Hear Music compilations for a good mix if you aren't familiar with those genres.  Check out Afro Celt Sound System, too.  \n\nGet yourself hynotized by a professional.  It works wonders and it is relatively inexpensive.  A bunch of friends of mine have gone to a place in Chicago and the guy is top notch.  See link below.\n\nTry a yoga class.  Seriously.  Give it a shot.  Yoga is a great way to supplement a workout routine for the physical benefits and it's like a mini vacation every time you go.  \n\nLast but not least, talk to your doctor.  If you've got anxiety, he might be able to prescribe something like Xanax.  If your doc thinks you need a little extra help, he might send you to a psychologist or psychiatrist for a few sessions to see what's causing your stress.

1. What Is a Living Trust?\n\nThe "living trust" described in this brochure is a revocable living trust. It is sometimes referred to as a revocable inter vivos trust, or a grantor trust. A living trust may be amended or revoked by the person creating it (commonly known as a "trustor," "grantor" or "settlor"), at any time during the trustor's lifetime, as long as the trustor is competent.\n\nA trust is a written legal agreement between the individual creating the trust and the person or institution named to manage the assets held in the trust (the "trustee.") In many cases, it is appropriate for you to be the initial trustee of your living trust, until management assistance is anticipated or required.\n\nIn a living trust agreement:\n\nThe trustee is given the legal right to manage and control the assets held in the trust. \nThe trust provides for the persons or charitable organizations ("beneficiaries") who are to receive the income and principal on or after the trustor's death. \nThe trustee is given guidance and certain powers and authority to manage and distribute the trust property in a prudent fashion. The trustee is a "fiduciary." A fiduciary is one who occupies a position of trust and confidence and is subject to strict responsibilities, usually higher standards of performance than one who is dealing with his or her own property. Without the trustor's express written permission, the trustee cannot use trust property for the trustee's own personal use, benefit or self-interest. One must hold the trust property solely for the benefit of the beneficiaries of the trust. \nA living trust can be an important part - in many cases, the most important part - of your estate plan. The State Bar has published a pamphlet entitled "Do I Need Estate Planning?" which provides more detailed information about estate planning. You may obtain a free copy of the pamphlet by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your request to the address listed below.\n\n2. What Can a Living Trust Do for Me\n\nA living trust can provide for the private management of your assets if you choose not to act as trustee, or when you are unable to do so, by the person or persons whom you appoint as trustee. When you are incapacitated, your trustee can assume responsibility for your assets in an accountable fashion, and manage them for your benefit without direct court intervention or supervision. At your death, the trustee acts much as an executor would, gathering your assets, paying valid debts and claims and taxes, and distributing your assets as you have directed in your living trust.\n\n3. Should Everyone Have a Living Trust\n\nNo. The greater the risk of incapacity or death, the greater the need for a living trust. The greater the value of your assets, particularly if they include real estate, the greater the need for a living trust. A young, healthy individual with few assets probably does not need a living trust right now. Nor does the real estate developer who is frequently buying, selling or refinancing his or her real estate holdings want a living trust to hold those assets. On the other hand, many people recognize that a living trust will be helpful in the future, and set up a living trust now to have it in place in the event of an accident or sudden illness.\n\n4. How Does a Living Trust Help if I Am Incapacitated?\n\nIf you are acting as trustee of your own living trust and become incapacitated, whoever you have named as your successor trustee will assume the responsibility for managing your assets on your behalf. If your assets are not in your living trust, someone else must manage them. How this is accomplished may depend on whether the assets are your separate or community property. If you are married, assets earned by either you or your spouse while married and while a resident of California are community property. On the other hand, a married

absoloutely not where did you get that idea?


How many of you think the government response to hurricane katrina was wayyyy to slow?

I'm not sure that it was wayyy to slow.. they made it seem like they did everything in their power to make things happen.. I know trying to get people down there was difficult but ALOT of people pitched in to do what they can... I thought it really proved us to pull together as a country... My friend was down there going to school and she said the MEDIA made it seem like the gov. wasn't doing anything but she said there was ALOT being done.. so I guess we can just hope the gov tries to get it back to normal/or better quckly.


Jesus referred to himself as "son of man". Is there a literal meaning to this phrase?

It is hard to say for sure exactly what this meant.  Jesus seemed to believe that there would be coming very soon a "Son of Man" in glory on the clouds of heaven.  And he seems to be some sort of cosmic judge.  Of course, it was later understood by Jesus's followers that he was speaking of himself.  \n\nSon of Man seems to have been used in Judaism to refer to the Messiah or some sort of a cosmic judge of the earth that would come in apocalyptic times.  It is used in the book of Daniel in this way.  \n\nSon of Man actually can be argued to have almost a MORE divine connotation than Son of God.  Everyone is a son or daughter of God.  And also everyone is a son or daughter of man.  But to become a true Son of God, one must make himself subservient to his fellow man, thus becoming a son of man.  \nSo when Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, he was making himself a son of man, a servant of man.  And in so doing, he precisely shows himself to be a true Son of God, because to become great, one makes oneself lowly.


where is the largest mall in the world ?

The race is on to build the largest mall. Beijing's Golden Resources Shopping Mall, opened in October 2004, is the world's largest, at 600,000 m² (approximately 6 million square feet). The Mall of Arabia inside Dubai Land in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which will open in 2006, will become the largest mall in the world. Both might be smaller than Berjaya Times Square which is advertised at 700,000 m².


At the freezing point of 32 degrees how long will it take for paint to freeze to where it is no good?

Water freezes at 32 F.  Paint is not water.  Paint is full of solvents, like terpentine etc, that will not freeze at that temperature.\n\nAll in all, it depends on the paint, but I doubt that a well-sealed paint can would freeze at 32 F.\n\nAnd even with water, there is no definitive amount of time it takes to freeze, because it depends on the rates of heat transfer, which have to do with things like mass/surface area ratios, draft, and the thickness of the can.

hey , since you're a cool smarty girl you probably already no there is no shame in asking for and accepting help from outside resources when your fam can't quite cut it... my family was (i guess you could say) kinda poor too...definitely couldn't afford a therapist on our own, but anyways, everybody is right, express a need at your school and they will likely assign you a caseworker and a therapist (i even had something called a rap worker, rap was some sort of acronym)whatever... i'm just proud of you for being so young and openminded enough to consider therapy!!good luck to you!!! my thoughts and well wishes are with you!\np.s. \nsome peops will look at your choice as a weakness but as i mentioned earlier, you sound too smart to buy into that crapola...it takes strength to embark on the journey you are about to take, as you will soon find... inner strength that many people spend their whole lives in search of!!


how does medicaid pay if you already have health coverage?

Your insurance you have for yourself is your primary account.They will bill your personal health insurance First.And then your medicade for what is still not paid.Just give your dr.'s office them both,they will know how to bill both insurances.its really just that easy.


why God is creating & why he stop the creation at end of the world?

May be, we human and the rest of the universe including the empty space are god's experimentm or play ground ( like we build robats and god created different apecies interconnected to their survival), who knows, we are may be a god's machines with the intelegent inside us. You never know what god is upto now or was in the past. Do we know that god can change his mind? I know one thing and that is god changed his mind several times (changing relegious), i aslo know the reason why he changed his mind about the law of human relations to each other, its because of the circomstances human beings and its activities. And the obvoius question is why he created that circomstances? This question can be the most difficult to be answered by humans. Ask this from god, he may show you in your dreams. He is very god ( you cant compare his intelegence ability to any thing).


which states still have the law that you cannot submit new information after 6 months of trial?


I haven't really joined yet but it looks pretty intresting. But I work and have tons of homework so I don't really have the time.


It's more complex than this, but your general direction is right. The analogy works best if you say "Bible in one hand, yet world leaders in pornography and drug dealing on the other", or "purveyors of democracy and independence on the one hand, but can't/won't count votes in Florida on the other".\n\nWhichever way you look at it, any country ruled by a President who thinks that the cause of science is best served by allowing "intelligent design" to be taught in school classrooms, has got to cause negative attitudes about the USA to forment across the world...and this is exactly what is happening.


It's all a waste of money, but it's a better and more inspiring waste of money than the real drains on the government's budget.  Actually, I'm already having second thoughts on that comment.  Read "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" by Richard Feynman.  Before the Challenger disaster, there were indicators everywhere that the shuttle shouldn't be launched.  Thanks in large part to the beauracracy of NASA, seven astronauts lost their lives.  It's a tough issue, but I still think NASA deserves more funding and attention.

Can A Grey Wolf Compete in a dog show? Why or why not?

in Obediencs classes he could or Agility classes but at proper BREED Shows he couldnt because only purebred registered dogs are allowed to compete.\n\nMost people who own wolves and wolf hybirds are friut cakes who think they are "cool" because this is their "pet" they are no different than the 50 year old fat bald guy who thinks he is cool because he drives a sports car....


With the deficit and National debt so high, how can we still call ourselves the riches nation in the world?

We are able to call ourselves the richest nation in the world because of our GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and GNP (Gross National Product).  Technically like Luxembourg and a few others are richer (per capita) but since we're so much larger and have so much more influence over the world economy, it's just generally assumed we get the title.  There are single cities and states in the US that have larger and more powerful economies than most countries.

We perpetuate the myth that men cheat more than women but this is obviously untrue; who are they cheating with? If by "better" you mean more successful at getting away with it then women I suppose. I'm not sure being more readily deceitful is something to be proud of though. Lying may involve some skill but so does stealing a car.

How can I trace the owner of an IP Address? I keep receiving unwanted mail from 217.146.177.175.?

dont know, but it took my computer .207 seconds to "talk" to that ip address


Well, first of all it's probably a agood idea to get checked by a doctor to rule out anything else that could be causing your insomnia and may need to be treated. Your doctor may prescribe a sleep aid. But if you'd like to keep it more natural try taking 5-HTP shortly before bedtime. If that doesn't help L-tryptophan is stronger, take it shortly before bedtime, also. These supplements can possibly be found in your grocery store. If not there, then at your local natural foods store or health food supply. They are safe and do not cause any side effects. \nThe other part of relieving insomnia is to use your bedroom for sleep only. No reading, watching tv, etc in bed. This helps your body & sub-contious mind to associate your bed with sleep, which makes it easier to actually fall asleep there. Be sure to make your bed and bedroom as condusive to sleep as possible. i.e.: no noises, lights, or other disturbances; comfortable bed & bedding; comfortable temp...most people prefer a slightly cool temp for sleeping. You can also use lavendar essential oil, it's great aromatherapy for sleep. (essential oils affect our body chemistry)& lavendar helps your body & mind to relax.

Is it proper to have a bridal shower for a bride who is not having a big wedding ?

I think it is very appropriate.  Even more appropriate in this case.  It gives those people who won't be attending the ceremony an opportunity to share their wishes with the bride to be.  Plus, it's not like the bride has the shower for herself...!  Others who love and care about her have decided to honor her by having a party to celebrate the fact that she is marrying.  I say go for it, and have a wonderful time!

Our Sun will "burn out" in about 4.5- to 5.0-billion years from now.\n\nRight now the Sun is converting hydrogen into helium at a rate of some 600-MILLION metric tons per second. Once this main fuel source is exhausted, the Sun will begin fusing helium, and once that's gone it will "burn" progressively heavier and heavier elements. Each change in fuel will be accompanied first by a diminishment in size, then a period of swelling. Mercury, Venus, and Earth will be consumed. Finally nothing but iron will be left to burn in the Sun, and since the energy required for that is higher than the Sun can generate, it will gradually dwindle more and more in size until it will become what's called a 'white dwarf' star.

CD-R music discs have had royalities paid on them to the music industry


Yeah, I have this same problem. (To those who responded with "just wake up" its not that easy.)\n\nI've been to tons of different doctors, and had a lot of different tests done. (Something you should try, low iron and diabetes, along with depression could be causing it)\n\nI've tried lots of the other advice people have given -- a lot of VERY good advice guys :), but personally, it doesn't matter where, when, or how well I sleep, it's nearly impossiable for me to wake up.\n\nI eventually just accepted this, and will sleep forever on days that I don't have to get up. \nAnd on days where I must get up early (or like, you know, at ALL :) I have 7 different alarms clocks going off around my rooms. (It sounds like a clock factory) I have one outside my door so I have to leave my room to shut it off, and others "hidden" -- so I can hear them, but cant shut them off while half-asleep. \nTry writing yourself a big note and sticking to the alarm clock to remind yourself what your have to get up and do (EX: doctors appt 9 AM). \nOne of my alarms plays a CD I like, so instead of turning it off and going back to sleep, I leave it on and listen to it.\n\nThen  I crawl into the shower and chug a pot of coffee to try to wake up :)\n\nGood luck ! :)\n\n    (And to you morning people -- I can stay until 6am and still be perfectly happy ! :)

For instance, if you are trying to see what brand of fertilizer works best on tomato plants, you would have one tomato plant that you don't use any fertilizer on so you can see how big it gets with no help and compare that to all the plants that were on fertilizer.

what does mg/kg/d PO mean in a prescription?

Milligrams per killogram per day by mouth\n\n--This is exactly what a physician is writing.\nSo if you weighted 20 kilograms, and the medicine was to be given 10 mg/kg/d, your dose would be 200 mg daily.


If one spouse files for bankruptcy, will this affect the credit rating of the other?

No it doesn't. My wife filed for just the things in her name only. It didn't affect mine at all. Just remember that for a while, if you open new loans or buy a car or whatever, you'll have to do it in just the one person's name. However, you can still use both people's income to get the loan.


Does a teacher have the right of free speech if she is damaging the school district where she works?

As long as she's not defaming its reputation.


I would have to say, to me, that the sexiest man in showbiz would have to be American Idol 4's Constantine Maroulis.  He's just got that magnetic personality, and the talent to back up his amazingly good looks.\n\nHe's also got a lot of confidence in himself, a very strong work ethic, and a killer sense of humour, and to me, that's sexy.  Sexiness from the inside & out, really shines through.


Have y'all seen this? If you have, what are your thoughts?

Well this quote seems to be a little cynical.  I don't know much about Mary Ellen Kelly, but my impression from this quote is that the natives are ridiculed by American's who have dubbed themselves "smart" and therefore are judgemental.  They see the drums as worthless noise when the very horns that are blown at traffic are seen as unneccessary or are objects of scorn to the natives.  It is a look at ethnocentrism and the lack of tolerance or understanding for other cultures.


My ex has been cheating on me and I heard shes telling this guy Im hitting her,what do I do?

If she is your EX, then she isn't cheating on you.  And if she is an EX, why would you care what she thinks?  Obviously, you are better off with this woman being your EX, leave it alone and move on, you are better off without all this mess!

Well all I can say is don't try to get a job as an English teacher.


Everything is related to the quantity of soft drinks that you consume. Cola beverages contain caffeine(the effect is well known and I don't think that it is worthy to refer)and a lot of sugar, that means a lot of calories.\nA big amount of these, as you refer, can also affect your liver, as everything in our body is getting metabolized by the liver.\nSo take care. When you feel thirsty, drink water.\n\nKaterina
