What's the best flick to ever win Best Picture? Has anyone seen all the Best Pic movies?

Answering your q's in reverse order, i actually have seen all of them, from Wings(1927) to Crash(2K6).  As a second generation movie geek, Dad was instrumental in teaching me the history of film(Pop owns about 11K, no, i'm not kidding, 11,000 movies.  He's been collecting since the first VCR came out in '76, and prerecorded movies were first released in '77.  To put this in perspective, your local Blockbuster carries about 14K titles.)  My personal opinion?  Godfather 2('74).  Most of the time, tho, the best picture is not the one that wins('97...was Titanic better than L.A. Confidential?  Ummmmn, no.)  What are ya gonna do?  That's Hollywood....


Eliminating backpressure in an exhaust system always creates more horsepower and more torque. Headers are excellent. The more efficient the exhaust system, the greater the power gains. \n\nThere are lots and lots of good brands of mufflers, catalytic convertors, and headers out there. In terms of mufflers, some of the best ones are: Flowmaster, Borla, Corsa, Hooker, etc. \n\nThere are lots of ways to increase performance, mate. Use high quality spark plugs, and spark plug wires. MSD ignition creates a more powerful spark, as well. Synthetic oils for the engine can also add power. Get a nice tune up using high quality parts. \n\nGood luck.


what is the standard equation for a parabola?

You asked for the general equation of a parabola, not the general equation of a parabola that is a function of x or y, so the following is the most general form you will encounter, with the parabola opening in any direction you choose.\nThe definition of a parabola is the set of all points that are equidistant from a point (called the focus) and a line not passing through the focus (the directrix; it determines the direction the parabola opens).\nThus, let the focus be the point (f, g) and let the directrix be the line ax + by + c = 0 when the parabola is imbedded in a Cartesian coordinate system. Then, using the distance formula and the application thereof in the source link http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Point-LineDistance2-Dimensional.html , we want the set of all (x,y) satisfying (f-x)^2 + (g-y)^2 = (ax + by + c)^2/(a^2 + b^2) . We have squared both sides to remove the square root and absolute value operations. After multiplying everything out, we get the standard equation Ax^2 + By^2 + Cxy + Dx + Ey + F = 0 where the capital letters are simple functions of f, g, a, b, and c that you can make explicit by simplifying the above expression. While it is a derivation, it does not yet say what each coefficient does to the usual parabola. For that explanation, we use linear algebra.\nConsider the simple parabola y=x^2 with vertex on the origin. It has parametric form (x,y) = (t, t^2). All the parabolas above are simply rotations, linear scalings, and translations of this parabola. A rotation by a is given by the matrix [cos(a), sin(a); -sin(a) cos(a)] and a scaling of r in x and s in y is given by [r, 0; 0, s]. A translation to the vertex (h,k) is given by simply adding (h,k) to the parametric form.\nThus, a standard parabola that has been rotated by angle t, scaled in x by r, scaled in y by s, and has had its vertex translated to (h,k) has the parametric equation \n(x,y) = [cos(a), sin(a); -sin(a), cos(a)][r, 0; 0,s](t + h, t^2 + k).\nBy inverting the matrix, we get:\n(t+h, t^2+k) = [1/r, 0; 0, 1/s][cos(a), -sin(a); sin(a), cos(a)](x,y).\nAfter a bit of tedious algebraic manipulation, and substituting the expression for t into t^2, we get the standard equation that we derived before except now we know that A = (cos(a)/r)^2, B = (sin(a)/r)^2, C = -sin(2a)/r^2, D = -(sin(a)/s + 2*h*cos(a)/r), E = 2*h*sin(a)/r - cos(a)/s, and F = h^2 + k.\nUsing the above, you can find the properties of any given parabola, or create a parabola with the properties you want.


is it true that the sun has the same colors as the rainbow?

The only reason color exists is because objects (rain drops in this case) reflect certain wavelengths and obsorb certain wavelengths of light.  The only reason we see the colors in the rainbows is because the sun produces white light which, when refracted, will produce ALL OF THE POSSIBLE COLORS.  This is interesting, you will notice there is no brown in the spectrum (or rainbow); therefore, brown is not a color.  The sun doesn't have the same color as the rainbow, the rainbow has the same color as the sun.

Can i go swimming/ diving when i'm having my period? Does tampons help? I've nv use them b4. Thanks!?

My word, such suggestions! Especially that one about not  having your period if you're in the water. What nonsense! Yes, using a tampon is a good thing, changing it as soon as you can after swimming to prevent any of the bacteria from the water from entering you and maybe causing some problems. There's a diagram on the box of tampons, showing you how to do it. You might get the angle wrong the first time, but you'll get it right with practice. You might ask your doctor about this too, as you might have different health concerns than most people. But, from my own experience, I've went swimming lots of times with a tampon and had no problems. Going without would be very messy, especially if you couldn't get somewhere right away to change. Hope you have fun. <*)))><

I'm Still looking for any help with Finding a job in the Plattsburgh area that pays $12-$14 per hour.  Thanks

try newspaper ads or a local temp agency.  most temp agencies (staffing agencies) place people as temp to hire.  they know the opportunities in your area and have lots of business connections.\na word of advice, though, don't let them forget about you!!! check back with them often to see if they have any interviews for you!\nAlso, check out your local state job agency.  they usually ahve a databse that you put your info on and employers can see you adn you can also see jobs posted by employers.  Plus, the state job agency is a great networking place. they usually have workshops and can give you some direction in your search!

Do you ever write down your prayers or keep track of them some other way?

No, I personnally don't believe in it, nor do I believe in conventional prayer.\n\nI can recite or read a page in a book as many times as you want me too, but that doesn't mean I'm praying. It is only praying when what I say comes from my heart and to do that I must say my prayers in my own words and not recited from another prayer of mine from another time, because that again would just be reciting and not coming from my heart. Keep in mind many of my prayers might sound exactly the same, but they are still fresh words to me from each day I pray.\n\nI hope I didn't offend anybody, but I just wanted to answer this question.

How many savings accounts showed you have?

I think it partly depends on what your purpose is.  If I remember correctly, a 529 account is for future school uses.  Otherwise, you need to know how convenient do you want your money to be able to get access to it.  If you work in a place that has a credit union and you want to be able to walk up and deposit/withdraw any time, then that is what you should get.  High yield accounts online may or may not be more accessible.  Personally, I have several accounts for different purposes.  That should be your determining factor.


is Bush on the side of non-violence?if yes or no,u'r reason.?

Are you kidding???\nNon-violence is the policy of Martin Luther King and of Ghandi. The thing they had in common was a principled desire to change oppressive laws and treatment against the powerless.\n\nBush comes from a position of power, and is quite willing to use power in the form of violence, as in Iraq, to achieve his ends.


Is there such a thing as a god/goddess and how do you know,outside of faith??

For me its simple.  If you think that its possible that there is more than meets the eye with life, which most do, then you probably think that something/someone created this.  It makes sense by the laws of nature that the Creators were of the masculine and feminine nature.  Man and woman create life.  Therefore God and Goddess.  Wiccans don't follow scripture, we follow our own instincts.

Is it okay to eat whole wheat cereals once a day?

It is OK.  It is more than OK.  OK once a day.  OK twice a day.  OK if you feel you want more.  Who said that you can only eat cereal in the morning?  \n\nWhole grains are important source of fiber in the diet and anti-oxidants.  See, cereals that are processed are removed of the bran and germ portions.  A great deal of important nutrients and fiber is lost.  To make up, manufacturers have to add a lot of inorganic 'vitamins' and 'minerals' to balance nutrition.  The main reason why we get the processed cereals is to maintain shelf life.  It does not have anything to do with promoting health or nutrition.  There are many health advantages for eating whole grains, to me to list here but they go from cardiovascular, maintaining healthy weight, promoting health in the colon (anti-cancer properties), etc.


What is the easiest way to become a millionaire in a legal way?

I am more interested in giving serious useful info. See my other answers also please. \n\nA major portion of this answer is copied from one of my previous answers.. See the link:  http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Auhg8X1IYwtG.crRhwsf1Dvsy6IX?qid=1006030714032\n\nWork against economy differece.\nThere are a lot of people who want to become rich overnight. There is no way one can become rich overnight. When you hear about someone winning a lottery and becoming rich you do not acutually listening to a million stories how people lost all their money gambling. It may not be easy to predict who can become rich. But there is one thing in this world which can tell without mistake which person will never become rich. Any person who expect to become rich overnight is almost never become rich. Expressing desire to become rich by gambling etc indicates this person is not ready to accept realities of the world. If you study the life of rich people, they normally avoide taking risks. This is why big corporate never start business from zero. They wait until others try and make mistakes and correct and once they build the base of new business, big corporate take over the successful business. Among those try to become rich over night at least know 98% do not become rich. \n\nAnd those who really become rich, if you observe, very rarely ask the quetion-- "How I can become rich?". They always have a different question in their mind. Probably they also want to become rich. But the difference is that they ask more specific questions.\n\nYour question is like "how to go to moon?". But if any person is very seriously trying to go to moon, he may ask more specific question like "how to adjust to the different gravitational force there?" Or "what are the steps to control stress?" "How to connect with other coleagues on earth station?"\n\nNormally a person who ask a question "How to go to moon?" do not really have any serious plan to go to moon. The moment they have a serious plan, they may stop asking this question and start asking an engineering related question some times.\n\nOne should not make "becoming rich" one's aim. One should have a clear aim in life. One should understand one's strenghs and weaknesses and find an area of activity. There may be trial and errors, and may take more time, but however if you are clear about your plans, over a period of time, you will identify your area of activity. Then you will understand the details of that and become more and more familiar with that. You may network with other players of that field- your coleagues, your competitors, experts, customers, other related markets etc. One may also refine his/her skillset and if necessary take formal and informal training. Above all use good commonsense to go deep into the subject.\n\nThere are a few points one can keep in mind.\n1) If you do the same thing what many others do then the chances of you becoming successful is very low. Do things differently. But dont ever try to do things differently only for the sake of doing it differently.Ask this question to yourself always- Why should your customer chose your service/product? Why not any other similar ones? If you are working ask this question, why your employer should employ you? Why any others? -- there should be a reason for others to chose you or yoru service/skills. This is very important.\n2) Any new type of business may throw up a lot of demand and opportunity. Being a pioneer is always risky. But if you can take up risks and solve and overcome the hurdles, then your success will be unique and more benefitful.\n3) Try to work on economy difference. This is the world of outsourcing. Outsourcing is you execute a work in a cheaper way and sell it in a rich market. The rule of outsourcing is true in many other businesses, like travel business. \n4) Helping poor is good, but never target the poorest. You make money first and

The answer to your question is 1) Val to Leu.  They are both hydrophobic amino acids and Leu has just one more carbon.\n\nFor 2) Asp has an acid and Pro is hydrophobic and cyclic.\nFor 3) Lys is basic and Leu is hydrophobic.\nFor 4) Trp is large (the largest) and Ala is small (2nd smallest) even though they are both hydrophobic.\n\nThe main categories for amino acids are acidic, basic, hydrophobic and hydrophilic.  Any change within a category is fairly conservative as long as the size doesn't change too much.\n\nFor structures and categories, see:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acids

Does anyone know the horoscope for Janruary 20, 1980 for the year?

The year 1980 is the year of the Monkey. \n"People born in the Year of the Monkey are the erratic geniuses of the cycle. Clever, skillful, and flexible, they are remarkably inventive and original and can solve the most difficult problems with ease. There are few fields in which Monkey people wouldn't be successful but they have a disconcerting habit of being too agreeable. They want to do things now, and if they cannot get started immediately, they become discouraged and sometimes leave their projects. Although good at making decisions, they tend to look down on others. Having common sense, Monkey people have a deep desire for knowledge and have excellent memories. Monkey people are strong willed but their anger cools quickly. They are most compatible with the Dragon and Rat."\n\nThe horoscope is also an Aquarius.\n"Aquarius, symbolized by the Water bearer, is a Fixed Air sign ruled by Saturn and Uranus.  Aquarians are humanitarians that want to make the world a better place in which to live through their revolutionary thoughts and ideas.  They are creative, innovative, original, progressive thinkers – visionaries.  They have a keen intellect and an ability to think “out of the box”.  Creative, original and non-conformist, they are sometimes considered eccentric.  While broadminded, Aquarians are quite fixed in their opinions (consistent with the Fixed energy) and can be impatient with those who disagree with them.  Aquarians tend to have many friends and acquaintances. "\n\nHope this helped

Height goes on from the birth until adolescence, when the skeleton reaches its max (genetic) measures and there is nothing to do for increasing it, since any bones is tightly interconnected with the body. Generally the hormones helps the growth during the childhood and the puberty. Therefore  18 are too many.... it’s too late, sorry.

Bought a new  Logitech 250 Stereo USB Headset, nothing happens?

Some USB devices require to be pluged while you are installing the driver (for example an All-In-One HP printer) when it's plugged nothing happens .. but when you install its driver .. during the installation it asks you to plug your device in order to finish the installation process successfully .. so if you have a CD that came with the headset .. try installing the software for it first.\n\nSecond, Make sure that the USB device itself is malfunction free and ready to be used .. if not .. get it back to where you baught it from.\n\nthird, Make sure that your USB ports on the back of your computer case are connective and working properly -- this can be done by testing the port with devices that you know they are okay and working properly (like a USB keyboard or whatsoever) if it functioned okay .. then your ports are okay .. \n\nFourth, Go to your device manager and check for the proper driver for the USB controllers .. maybe that's the problem .. if that's it .. refer to your main board manual to install the controller's driver from the CD that came with your mainboard.\n\n\nNot to mention that you should make sure that your audio card has it's driver installed and the sound is coming out of the computer

If passing out means killing brain cells, do getting drunk kill brain cells?

The idea that alcohol kills brain cells has long been promoted. The early temperance writers made this assertion and also insisted that the alcohol in their blood could cause “drunkards” to catch fire and burn aliveThis combustion argument against drinking was dropped long ago but many anti-alcohol writers continue to promote the idea that even moderate drinking causes brain cells to die.\nScientific medical research has actually demonstrated that the moderate consumption of alcohol is associated with better cognitive (thinking and reasoning) skills and memory than is abstaining from alcohol. Moderate drinking doesn’t kill brain cells but helps the brain function better into old ageOf course, years of alcohol abuse can cause serious neurological damage, including Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Harm can be done to message-carrying dendrites on neurons in the cerebellum, a part of the brain involved in learning and physical coordination. But even in such extreme cases, there’s a lack of evidence that alcohol kills brain cellsHowever, abstinence after chronic alcohol abuse enables brains to repair themselves, according to new research involving rats.People who drink too much and are thinking about either reducing or eliminating their drinking should find these findings encouraging, although humans have not yet been tested directly for the positive brain effects


why does my recorded voice sound different from what it sounds like when i speak?

When cassette recorders first became available at reasonable prices, we kids asked that same question and thus invented the word; "BEPTOS". A bepto is the vibration of a sound transmited through your skull, your brain and all the flesh that makes your head respond like a resonator, a drum or the way the wood of a guitar vibrates once a string is plucted.                                   That vibration through our teeth makes us think our parents know that we sneaked a bag of potato chips into bed at night which are actually fairly quiet if we munch them with our mouths closed. It keeps your pillow cleaner too.        Have you noticed that same feeling when you see a photo of your self? The way we see ourselves at all times in a mirror is reversed of the way we appear to all other creatures that view our face.                               To by-pas that situation, have a friend take a close-up photo of your face and ask the person developing the film to turn the negative over, chemical-side up before exposing the light-sensitive paper for your picture. Then you will have a photo of yourself as you see it every day when you brush your teeth. Play a trick on those who know you well by showing them your picture and notice the look on their faces when they "know" it's you, but something seems odd about it.                                                   --boxonbus81

4 out of 5 doctors agree...who is that 5th doctor that doesn't agree and would you go to him/her???

Yes. I would enquire. He could be the one who is right. Or he could the one who is totally in the wrong. For your own state of mind, go further and ask him why he disagrees and reasons. Tell him what the other doctors said and present everything to him. He should be able to defend his opinion and explain why.\nDo not discount the "odd one out". He could be the one who did not get it.............\nBut he could be the one with the right diagnostic also (have read the most recent articles, have kept up to date etc, experience counts also.).\nI have been in that situation but not with so many doctors though. The one who disagreed just happened to be the one who was right.


i don't think so ... i've looked for it before. There is a powerpoint viewer you may be able to download for free ... it's a very basic version of Powerpoint, but might suit your needs after all. Do a google search, i'm sure you can find it!!

Who is your favorite Cardinal Baseball Player, it could be a past player or current?

Stan "the Man" Musial is the man for me. He played for 23 years in a Cardinals uniform from 1941 to 1963. He won three world series and still holds the record for all-star games.\n\nOther contenders:\n\nDizzy Dean and the rest of the Gashouse Gang of the 1930s.\nOzzie Smith from the 1980s.\nMark McGwire would have been right up there except for the steroids scandal.


well, if you both are over 18, doesn't matter what his dad says.  He can stay and get an apartment with you if he wants.


list of best cities to live in for a child with Autism?

Silicon Valley and I will show you why:\n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/2192611.stm\n\nMore kids with autism (some part of spectrum) than any place.  They were not all born there (did nnot get it from living there) it has more to do with who the parents are..more geeky parents live in that area, and geeky parents tend to have more autistic kids.  Really.

What are the mechanisms by which fat may deposit in certain areas of the body despite of low calories in diet?

It depends on how low your caloric intake is.  If you consume a VERY low amount of calories your metabolism will slow down.  That means that your body will store more of the calories as fat than normal.  See when you don't eat much your body will go on survival mode.  Because it doesn't think that it will get fed often enough, it will save a lot more than it normally would.  In order to lose weight you  need to eat regular meals throughout the day, but make sure that they are good quality (healthy) meals, and excersise because that is what burns the calories you already have stored.  A good way to raise your metabolism is to weight train.  Muscle, even at rest burns calories just to maintain itself.  Therefore, if you work out and increase muscle, you will burn more calories at rest than you would otherwise.  Also it's a hormone called cortisol that directs where and when to diposit fat onto your body.

It's just fun to network, and you get excited when new people add you.  It's just a form of being accepted, and it gives people a good feeling.  You want more of what makes you feel good.  Hence the "addiction".  Well, that's my theory.  I think I am addicted too.

Have you seen a ghost before? If so describe the experience?

One night, in 1975,My dad ,and uncle got drunk,and started talking about dying.They made the pact that whoever died first would come back, and let the other know what it was like on the other side.They decided a flower called the Easter Lily would be bought for the funeral,so that if they could'nt come back ,the Easter following the death, the flower would bloom if they had made it to Heaven.That next Monday ,my uncle was killed on the job,he was working with my dad in construction.They came back from lunch,my uncle was drilling a hole in a steel beam,sweat went down into the motor of the drill,causing it to short out,and knocked him off a 8 story highrise.He died in my dad's arms, before help could get there.As agreed my dad bought the Easter Lily,and planted it where my uncle told him to.By the way he died the Monday before Easter.Well the flower did bloom that Sunday,and at about three o'clock the next morning I woke up to see my uncles spirit walking past my bedroom door,and I heard him talking to my dad.My dad never worried about my uncle again after that.I have lots of ghost stories, but the space here is limited.Ghost,or spirits are out there,and people do really see them.

Parents want me to be a doctor but i don't want to...?

It sounds like you need to have a good Sit-down talk with them.  (Not just in-passing mentioning that you don't want to be a doctor.)  Their hearts are set on it because for years, YOU said you wanted to be one.  Just tell them that you NEED to talk.  Let them know you are serious.  If you already know what other fields you have taken an interest in are, maybe you should mention that as well.  If they insist on sending you to a camp (tell them you don't want to go and you are STILL not interested in the medical field)  If they bring home pamphlets or whatever, remind them again that you've had this discussion and would appreciate it if they would stop pursuing this career choice and if they keep it up, tell them to go to medical school. :)  Good luck.

modem works on which OSI layer (s)? any sources?

Layer one the physical layer\n\n\nHome > Quick Reference  \nThe 7 Layers of the OSI Model\n\nThe OSI, or Open System Interconnection, model defines a networking framework for implementing protocols in seven layers. Control is passed from one layer to the next, starting at the application layer in one station, proceeding to the bottom layer, over the channel to the next station and back up the hierarchy. \nApplication\n(Layer 7) This layer supports application and end-user processes. Communication partners are identified, quality of service is identified, user authentication and privacy are considered, and any constraints on data syntax are identified. Everything at this layer is application-specific. This layer provides application services for file transfers, e-mail, and other network software services. Telnet and FTP are applications that exist entirely in the application level. Tiered application architectures are part of this layer. \nPresentation\n(Layer 6) This layer provides independence from differences in data representation (e.g., encryption) by translating from application to network format, and vice versa. The presentation layer works to transform data into the form that the application layer can accept. This layer formats and encrypts data to be sent across a network, providing freedom from compatibility problems. It is sometimes called the syntax layer. \nSession\n(Layer 5) This layer establishes, manages and terminates connections between applications. The session layer sets up, coordinates, and terminates conversations, exchanges, and dialogues between the applications at each end. It deals with session and connection coordination. \nTransport\n(Layer 4) This layer provides transparent transfer of data between end systems, or hosts, and is responsible for end-to-end error recovery and flow control. It ensures complete data transfer. \nNetwork\n(Layer 3) This layer provides switching and routing technologies, creating logical paths, known as virtual circuits, for transmitting data from node to node. Routing and forwarding are functions of this layer, as well as addressing, internetworking, error handling, congestion control and packet sequencing. \nData Link\n(Layer 2) At this layer, data packets are encoded and decoded into bits. It furnishes transmission protocol knowledge and management and handles errors in the physical layer, flow control and frame synchronization. The data link layer is divided into two sublayers: The Media Access Control (MAC) layer and the Logical Link Control (LLC) layer. The MAC sublayer controls how a computer on the network gains access to the data and permission to transmit it. The LLC layer controls frame synchronization, flow control and error checking. \nPhysical\n(Layer 1) This layer conveys the bit stream - electrical impulse, light or radio signal -- through the network at the electrical and mechanical level. It provides the hardware means of sending and receiving data on a carrier, including defining cables, cards and physical aspects. Fast Ethernet, RS232, and ATM are protocols with physical layer components. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis graphic is taken from The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics.

How can I transfer my vinyl LP collection to CD?

1 way you can do it, if your lp player has an audio out port(headphones) you can get a double jack, hook 1 side into the audio out on your lp player, and the other side into mic in on your computer, then using the sound recorder, you can translate lp's into wav/mp3/wma or whatever, then copy and burn em onto cd. there's probably a much easier way, but there's my solution, good luck on your mission :D\n\nR3dm0

What is a johova witness and what are their beleifs?

I believe you mean "Jehovah's Witnesses."  The best online website about new religious movements (like Jehovah's Witnesses) is the one I've posted below.  Click on the site, and scroll down to Section 2, Organization, Practices, and Beliefs.  Here's an excerpt:\n\nThe principal self-defining characteristics of Jehovah's Witnesses, according to Beckford, are: learning the official doctrines, showing willingness to proselytize actively, participating in all congregational meetings, and being baptized into the Watch Tower faith (Beckford, p.70). \n\nThe 5 meetings they should attend each week are as follows:\n\nPublic Talk: usually each Sunday, when an Elder (or rarely a Ministerial Servant) will deliver a talk about a specific topic. \n\nWatchtower Study: a lesson based on a study article in the current Watchtower; usually follows the public talk. \n\nTheocratic Ministry School: generally takes place during the evening on a weekday. Speakers practice giving talks and witnessing. \n\nService Meeting: usually after the Theocratic Ministry School. It includes training for various ministry activities. Sometimes, elders will address specific issues and concerns of the congregation. \n\nBook Study: held sometime during the week where a portion of a Watchtower publication is studied in depth. \n\nOther practices particular to Jehovah's Witnesses are the refusal to: salute a nation's flag, serve in a nation's military, vote, receive a blood transfusion, and the prohibition of smoking (Stark and Iannaccone). \n\n  Beliefs \n\nAlthough Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs come from the Protestant and Adventist tradition, they do hold many beliefs that set themselves apart. The following are some key beliefs that make them different: \n\n  Jehovah God: Their God is the God of Hebrew Scriptures - all-powerful, all-knowing, and everlasting. They refer to Him as Jehovah - a true, personal, and exclusive name that all should use. \n\n  The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in the Trinity. As mentioned above, God is the all-knowing, all-powerful Creator. The relationship between him and Jesus is like that of father and son: Jesus is the first creation of God. He is fully human. The Holy Spirit is an active force which intervenes for God on earth. All the above mentioned are separate entities. \n\n  Satan, the Devil: Satan is seen as an enemy of God. He is misleading and afflicts pain and sorrow. Through spiritism, nationalism, and temptation, Satan leads people astray. The way to resist the devil is by learning about Jehovah. \n\n  Human Beings: Jehovah's Witnesses accept the Genesis account of the fall of humanity. Human beings are blemished with sin because of the disobedience Adam and Eve showed towards God. Every man is born with sin (save for Jesus, who was born to a virgin). They also believe that human souls are mortal - i.e. that when a person dies, his or her spirit (or soul) dies as well. In addition, some will experience eternal life when they are resurrected, in the flesh and soul, simultaneously. \n\n  Salvation: In contrast to some Christian traditions that believe salvation is achieved by accepting Christ as Lord ("once saved, always saved"), Jehovah's Witnesses believe it is possible to fall from grace. "The Bible sets forth conditions that must be met if we are to be saved from the effects of inherited sin" (Watchtower, 09/15/89). Accepting Jesus as Lord is essential, but failure to exercise fidelity to God's requirements can result in the loss of the gift of salvation. "[B]elievers...will be saved to eternal life only if they continue to adhere to all of God's requirements...Those losing faith in Jesus also lose everlasting life." (Watchtower, 09/15/89. \n\n  Heaven: Heaven is where Jesus Christ and the other "True Christians" will live. There they will rule over the kingdom which will be on earth. Se


They eventually spread themselves to thin. There is only so much that one can rule, and they tried to legislate their morality on the people that they conquered. There was also much graft and corruption in their government.  Sound familiar well it is we have people in Washington right now that are doing the same thing. So is the end of the American empire as we know it?


What is the best home business to get in to with out getting ripped off?

The best business that you can be sure that you won't get ripped off is one you start yourself. A business opportunity may be presented as the business that can give you $5000 per month, only to find that you cannot even get a single sale or lead -- and then you feel ripped off.\n\nThe best home business depends on what you want, how you define to be interesting. A person may consider a pet sitting business to be the most exciting work in the world, while another person would rather watch TV than take care of dogs. \n\nThe key is to determine what your interests are, what you want to do, what is suitable for your lifestyle and your overall goals, and what can fit with your resources.\n\nDan Ramsey in his book "101 Best Home Businesses" has a chapter on how to find YOUR best home business. He suggests these 10 steps:\n\n1. List 5 things you do best\n2. List how others would benefit from what you do best\n3. Find out how to give people what they want\n4. Learn the value of your services to others\n5. Find out who else offers similar services\n6. Learn from the successes of others\n7. Learn from the failures of others\n8. Plan your own success\n9. Make low cost mistakes\n10. Enjoy what you do and how you do it\n\nHe then made suggestions on the best home businesses according to type. Here are a few of them:\n\nBest Businesses Using Craft or Physical Skills\n- antique restoration\n- auto detail service\n- carpet cleaning business\n- errand/delivery service\n- housecleaning business\n\nBest Service Businesses \n- bed and breakfast operator\n- caregiver\n- catering service\n- senior day care center\n- tutoring service\n\nBest Professional Businesses\n- desktop publisher\n- magazine writer\n- import/export service\n- income tax preparation service\n- event planner\n\nSome other home business ideas:\n\nTop 10 Home Businesses with Rapid Break-Even Time http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol33/breakeven.htm\n10 Profitable “Go-Out" Home Businesses http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol31/goout.htm\nLow Cost Startup Businesses http://www.entrepreneur.com/lowcostbusinesses/0,6617,,00.html

there's a quote about the first time you play golf being for fun, and after that, for revenge. anyone know?

Golf Proverbs\n1. If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age. \n\n2. The game of golf is 90% mental and 10% mental. \n\n3. Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three. \n\n4. When you look up and cause an awful shot, you will always look down again at exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again. \n\n5. Any change works for a maximum of three holes and a minimum of not at all. \n\n6. No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse. \n\n7. Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing. \n\n8. When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls. \n\n9. If you're afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of you is still putting out, you have two options: you can immediately shank a lay-up, or you can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there. \n\n10. The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing. \n\n11. The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all your errors. \n\n12. If it ain't broke, try changing your grip. \n\n13. Golfers who claim they don't cheat, also lie. \n\n14. Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot. \n\n15. A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponent's luck. \n\n16. It's surprisingly easy to hole a 50-foot putt when you lie 10. \n\n17. Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut. \n\n18. Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts. \n\n19. It's not a gimme if you're still away. \n\n20. The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree. \n\n21. There are two kinds of bounces: unfair bounces, and bounces just the way you meant to play it. \n\n22. You can hit a 2-acre fairway 10% of the time, and a 2-inch branch 90% of the time. \n\n23. Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe. \n\n24. If you want to hit a 7-iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try to lay up just short of a water hazard. \n\n25. To calculate the speed of a player's downswing, multiply the speed of his backswing by his handicap. Example: backswing 20 mph, handicap 15, downswing 600mph. \n\n26. There are two things you can learn by stopping your backswing at the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands you have, and which one is wearing the glove. \n\n27. Hazards attract; fairways repel. \n\n28. You can put "draw" on the ball, you can put "fade" on the ball, but no golfer can put "straight" on the ball. \n\n29. A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours. \n\n30. If there is a ball in the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is in the bunker. \n\n31. If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint. \n\n32. Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it.

How can you tell a friend that her boyfriend has been hitting on you?

Oh boy!! That's a touchy one.  First thing I would do is start off by letting her know that she is your friend and you don't want anything to come between you.  Sit her down and let her know you want to talk to her.  Then tell her you are her friend and you don't want anything to come between you and her.  Then tell her what has been happening. The tough parts are not coming across as a threat and letting her know you are sincere and really am talking to her about this because you value her as a friend.

AHOY!using the word ''hello''as a greeting only as old as the telephone invented by alexander graham bell in 1876. alexander graham bell suggested that people say ''ahoy'' when they answered a ring, but this doen't catch on. ''hello'' caught on instead. it is related to ''hallo'', a cry of surprise in the mid-19th century


has the amount of water on the earth changed much over time?

It is likely that the amount of water has increased over time. Water on the planet is considered to be from three sources, chemically separated from rocks, from meteorites, and as part of comets.\n\nHowever, contrary to the beliefs of many who have answered this question there are numerous earth processes that both create and eliminate water. There are sedimentary rocks on the planet that were deposited in water over 4 billion years ago, so it has existed on the earth for a long time. \n\nWe currently consume 83 million barrels of oil every day on the planet, and that oil and natural gas creates large volumes of water vapor from the hydrogen contained in it. In fact, it probably releases a larger volume of water than the volume of the oil since it combines with atmospheric oxygen. Burning coal also releases water.  In the overall volume of water on the planet, this is all probably insignificant. \n\nMany other processes both create and destroy water. Concrete for example chemically incorporates water into its structure when it solidifies. Many rock processes involve incorporation of water into the chemical structure of the rock, and others release water. Minerals such as gypsum are formed by chemical incorporation of water with anhydrite. The water becomes part of the rock. \n\nBiological processes also chemically consume water. Plants incorporate water into their carbohydrate molecules produced during photosynthesis. \n\nOf course, over geologic time most of these processes are cyclical so it is difficult to say if there is a trend in any direction. Most of them are fairly minor in relation to the total volume of water on the planet. \n\nhttp://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/earthhowmuch.html


what does ab initio calculation mean? is it hard to learn?

it is a method to calculate atomic and molecular structure from first principles. the basis is the Schrodinger wave equation. without use of a computer it is a hopeless task.


which is better AMD Sempron or Intel Pentium 4?

It depends on which processor and what you mean by ‘better’. There are many aspects that can contribute to a processor’s superiority, such as performance (which is what you are probably referring to), reliability, power consumption, and heat. If by ‘better’ you mean a combination of all aspects, it is impossible to say; different people value different aspects more than others. \n\nThe AMD Sempron competes with the Intel Celeron, but the Celeron is so poorly constructed that it offers little to no competition. The AMD Turion competes with the Intel Centrino (or Pentium M). The AMD Athlon competes with the Intel P4. The AMD Athlon X2 competes with Intel’s dual core processors. In all categories, the AMD processor is generally better in every aspect than the Intel processor it competes with. Once you start comparing processors of different categories however, it starts to get interesting.\n\nThe Sempron is generally better than the P4 in the aspects of reliability, power consumption, and heat (not to mention that they are MUCH less expensive). As for performance, the P4 has the edge... usually. There are many different Semprons and many different P4s; a P4 will usually be faster than a Sempron, but some Semprons can outperform some P4s. What’s more, performance itself has many aspects. AMD is generally better at gaming and all-around performance. Intel’s Pentium processors are generally better with multimedia and down-right number crunching. \n\nI hope this clears things up.

are you always doomed to repeat your past?

You are not doomed if you understand and learn from your mistakes. Sometimes that requires seeing a counselor or even talking with a friend who is insightful enough to give really good advice. (Not just someone who will say what they think you want to hear. You need someone who is honest with you.) Did you cheat on this woman before? Is that why she does not trust you? If you did, then you have to work really hard for her to believe you again. That means staying true and never giving her any reason to doubt you. It also could take a long time to make her feel that she can trust you. But no, you are not doomed to repeat your past... unless you don't learn from it.

I have a problem with people that have been here 20 years and still have no interest in learning the language but expecting   the  country they moved to - to  cater to them and know their language..

It is right to get back with a wife you don't love 4 the kids??

No. However, be responsible parents and actually get along and share the childcare properly. Make sure each decision is based not on how YOU feel but what is BEST for YOUR children. Show your children that although mom and dad were honest enough to say they shouldn't make each other miserable, they share a deep love for their children and put aside personal feelings when necessary for the good of the kids. You don't have to live together to be loving caring parents. You only have to think about them first.


How old must you be to be a low-level (assistant) or shift manager at a business like a Restaurant?

Not fair, unfortunately Society is daunted with people who think that experience is necessary.. I feel that passion can go hand in hand with experience but most people are not willing to take that chance. \n\nHowever, a young manager, such as yourself can contribute so much more than an experienced one as your outlook is fresh thus, will be your ideas and your enthusiam.\n\nAh wait, but I don't have a restaurant.


It sounds exactly like what i was experiencing.Its called anxiety.Caused by stress.........you need to tell your Doc and then a shrink maybe and learn to relax...try exercising also it lessens the feelings for a while and its good for you


why did george washington feel that religion and morality were imorttant?

The Founding Fathers, in contrast to what is commonly believed, where not particularly religious men.  Washington, but most especially Jefferson, Madison, and Franklin, were subscribers to the contemporaneous French Existentialists, who were what we would consider rational humanists...They believed in the Rights of Man being fundamental, and that each citizen (defined much like it was by the Greeks-free white men) should have some power to effect the government.  Washington was not a major philosophical player in the formation of the country-he had almost no influence over the constitution or design of the government, but was hugely respected for his honor and leadership (part of that leadership was to allow other, more qualified men, to design the governmental system). However, the greatest risk that these highly educated and successful men saw in democracy was that the "unwashed masses" could be easily swayed by charismatic leaders, and had questionable moral fibres.  Thus, they thought that the uneducated populace, which constituted the majority of voters, would only be as moral and ethical as the strength of their religious beliefs (the founding fathers saw themselves as being educated and strong enough to not need this kind of influence).  Thus, they strongly stressed to need for beleif in God, not because this was particularly important to themselves, but because they saw it as a stabilizing, positive influence on the poor and uneducated.  It should be noted that this fear, that giving power to poor, uneducated, volatile people would lead to anarchy and the worst kind of mass hysteria, was the reason most of Europe was terrified of this new form of government.  Even France, which was the originator of most of the ideas used for writing the constitution, waited until it was clear the system could work in the US before they tried it.  Its also interesting to note that the worst fears of Europe, that uneducated class power would lead to unspeakable horror, actually came true in France with the overthrow of King Louis XVI.  It also came true in Russia a century later.  So perhaps the founding fathers were right, the strong influence of religion may have tempered the early Americans worst impulses.

The albumnuria level is 21 mg/l on a 24 hour urine test. Is this level safe or doeas it indicate kidney failur

One line of a 24 hour urine is not indicative of anything.  The level, as you have described it, is normal.  A 24 hour urine study has to be put into the context of the patient's history, exam, and other lab tests to help deliver any type of diagnosis.  \n\nThis is a great question to bring up with the ordering physician, who has a duty to interpret your test results and help you understand them.

i have a strange issue regarding my eye sight i see several flying object black in color in a great frequency?

A few months ago, my mother suddenly started seeing "floaters". When she called the optometrist, she was asked whether she also sees bright flashes of light at the edges of her field of view, and/or when her eyes are closed. (Go into a room without any light source to test this.) If you do, you probably are experiencing "posterior vitreous detachment", which in itself is not a bad thing--I did some poking around on the web at that time and it appears that a large percentage of people experience this. The concern, however, is that in some cases, the retina also detaches.\n\nI'd urge you to go to your optometrist. The optometrist may refer you to an ophthalmologist to examine your eyes. In my mother's case, the ophthalmologist dilated her eyes, examined them, did not detect retinal detachment, but scheduled her for a follow up examination saying that if retinal detachment were going to occur, it would probably happen within about six to eight weeks. \n\nAs other respondents have suggested, retinal detachment is a serious thing, and requires surgery.\n\nBest of luck...

What language is this phrase in: excesivus crushuru no exsanguinoru toto maximus suro nyo?

Well, I would have said it was Latin, but there are no 'y's to speak of in the language, or none in the older languague. 'sanguinoru' and 'crushuru' aren't words that I can find anywhere, and 'sh' sounds aren't generally anywhere but proper names and such. I would have to say to check in newer Latin (because you know the Pope needs Latin words for things in modern times) for those words. Also, when you type this into the translation program, I'd try putting an 's' on crushuru and sanguinoru. ( 'u' endings are uncommon sorta.) \n\n'Excesivus' = excessive, 'no' could = I swim or float, 'ex'= out , 'suro'= closest thing I could find is a native of Syria, 'toto'= total/whole/complete and 'maximus'= greatest/biggest. Hope it helped and good luck!

What is your "Theory" for the TV show "LOST"?

The survivors are being observed and tested, with the hatch being one great big B.F.Skinner box. Each were selected and positioned that they would be on flight 815, and the scientist probably have a very good idea as to who will survive and who won't. It's all a great big social experiment, with Alvar Hanso/Dharma attempting to push a small society of people into evolving into the next level of humanity.

Why does my pc say no virus protection detected?

What service pack of Windows XP do you have? SP1 or SP2? If you have SP1, it usually doesn't detect all the anti-virus software loaded. If you have SP2 and you're still seeing this error, that just means it doesn't recognize "E-Z Anti-virus" as a "common" anti-virus software distribution. Don't worry about it. You can go into Windows Security (through control panel) and disable the annoying windows notification for this.

While helium itself doesn't actually defy gravity, it is lighter than air and floats upward as descending air pushes it out of the way. Like a bubble in water, the helium goes up to make room for the air going down. The buoyant force that acts on the helium is equal to the weight of air that the helium displaces.\n\nA cubic foot of air weighs about 0.078 pounds so the upward buoyant force on a cubic foot of helium is about 0.078 pounds. A cubic foot of helium weighs only about 0.011 pounds. The difference between the upward buoyant force on the cubic foot of helium and the weight of the helium is the amount of extra weight that the helium can lift; about 0.067 pounds. Since you weigh 85 pounds, it would take about 1300 cubic feet of helium to lift you and a thin balloon up into the air. That's a balloon about 13.5 feet in diameter.

El Nino meaning the boy child is a global oceanic-atmospheric phenomenon. It is measured by the Southern Oscillation Index marked as the difference in airpressure between Tahiti and Darwin.\n\nIf the southern oscillation index is greater then 0.5 for five months then an el nino is present. This will lead to greater rainfall in Peru and Ecuador during the summer of January and February into the autumn. Conversely, it will be drier in Indonesia, the Phillippines and Australia. In a La Nina or girl child the southern oscillation index is -0.5 leading to drier weather in South America and wetter weather in Australia, Indonesia and the Phillippines. \n\nIt was originally named as the boy child because it became noticeable around Christmas Time.


Why does Mohammed need protection of men? and  Why does'nt Jesus need it?

A Good shephard defends his sheep by giving his life, when the wolves come he stands in their way and fights them and safeguards his sheep. But a Man who is not the owner of sheep but is hired by the owner of the sheep does'nt stand in the way of the wolves but he hides behind the sheep,Till wolves grab one of the sheeps and his life is saved.\n\nJesus is the good shephard he does'nt want his sheep to protect him, but he gives his life for them. What he did in the Garden of Gathsamne was an example of his love \n\nJesus Is Arrested\n   47And even as he said this, Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with a mob that was armed with swords and clubs. They had been sent out by the leading priests and other leaders of the people. 48Judas had given them a prearranged signal: "You will know which one to arrest when I go over and give him the kiss of greeting." 49So Judas came straight to Jesus. "Greetings, Teacher!" he exclaimed and gave him the kiss.\n\n    50Jesus said, "My friend, go ahead and do what you have come for." Then the others grabbed Jesus and arrested him. 51One of the men with Jesus pulled out a sword and slashed off an ear of the high priest's servant.\n\n    52"Put away your sword," Jesus told him. "Those who use the sword will be killed by the sword. 53Don't you realize that I could ask my Father for thousands[g] of angels to protect us, and he would send them instantly? 54But if I did, how would the Scriptures be fulfilled that describe what must happen now?"\n\nJesus is the Good shephard and he did not want his sheep to fight for him, instead he gives his life for them. JESUS LOVES EVERYONE HE LOVES BOTH PIOUS AND SINNERS, HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR THE SINNERS AND HE REALLY LOVES THEM. \n\nAS HE PRAYED FOR THOSE WHO NAILED HIM ON THE CROSS HOW WILL HE BE PLEASED WITH HIS FOLLOWERS IF THEY SATAT TO KILL THEM, THATS WHY CHRISTIANS DONT PUNISH THOSE WHO OFFENCE JESUS. ON THE OTHER HAND JESUS IS GOD HE DOES NOT NEED ANYONE TO FIGHT FOR HIM ON HIS ONE REQUEST GOD WOULD GRANT HIM ARMIES OF ANGELS. IF HE WANTS TO PUNISH HIS ENEMIES(even today) HE CAN PUNISH THEM ANYTIME, BUT HE LOVES THEM AND IS GIVING THEM CHANCE TO COME TO THE LIGHT. \n\nMOHAMMED WAS ALWAYS PROTECTED BY HIS FOLLOWERS THOUSANDS OF THEM DIED FOR HIM IN BATTLES, BUT HE DID NOT GAVE HIS LIFE FOR THEM. I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH HE LOVED HIS FOLLOWERS. BUT I KNOW ON THING THAT HE WANTED TO KILL HIS ENEMIES AND HATED THEM ALOT. \n\nWHO IS THE GOOD SHEPHARD?

does anyone think there is ever going to be a chance for world peace?

There will be world peace, when the Israeli Occupation of the Palestinian people ends. \n\nIsraeli occupation of that part of the world is truly, the root of all evil. Because it was such an evil act, denying a people a country on thier land. This angered the majority of the world population. This resulted in many wars.\n\nPalestine was a lovely district of the Ottoman State that the British and Americans unrightfully gave to the Extremist and Terrorist Zionist Jewish groups. The palestinians, unarmed, and unprepared, were no match for the WWII strengthened Zionist terrorists. Who also had the latest weapons. So they lost, but not any more.\n\nThe world wants peace, It will happen ONLY after Israeli occupation of Palestine ends and all things return to normal. Hitler is no longer a threat, he's been dead, so why do the Zionists insist on having such an Aparthied State for Jews? \n\nThe world can no longer live with all those wars, our populations are increasing and our resources are limited, we're squandering too much on arms and destructive things, instead of spending it on education and healthcare. \n\nWhat a pity!


The war in Iraq is going better than most people realize. We do not get the stories of the good things that are happening - just never ending liberal hype on the casualties and bombings. It just came out that Saddam said he got rid of the WMD's but kept it so secret even his own generals thought they still had them, so how the hell was President Bush and the rest of the world supposed to know otherwise? Did you hear about it in the media like when any liberal like Kerry, Clinton, Kennedy, or Dean opened their mouths to proclaim the President a liar? Of course not! It does not fit their agenda! The bottom line is this when it comes to my opinion on the war - we cannot allow these people in the press and capitol hill turn this into another Vietnam, which is exactly what they are trying to do (how many liberals have you heard say "quagmire"?). The saddest thing is that there are too many people that are buying into their anti-America, anti-troop propaganda (it's also my opinion that you cannot support the troops without supporting the war - it's the mission they are fighting for and it sends a bad and demoralizing message when people say we support you but what you're doing is illegal and sucks, right?).

Visit http://www.govbenefits.gov\n\nUse the drop down button\nDO YOU NEED BENEFITS BECAUSE OF A LIFE EVENT?\nChoose the life situation best applicable to you and then see if you qualify for the available government assistance.\n\nForget grant money - there's hardly any money for individuals. Go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and Grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. But you'd be hard pressed to find any grant that would support individuals.

How do you tell your bf that you're afraid of losing your virginity?

Hey I'm a virgin too and had to go through the same thing as you. Just be open with him, tell him you're not ready. Don't be pressured into anything you don't want to do. Although in todays society people act like their virginity is nothing special, it really is. If you wait until you're married or truly in love sex will be a whole lot more meanigful. If he still pressures you to have sex, stop dating him. He isn't worth losing your virginity over.
