why buy apple insted of a pc (dell or hp)?

I've been using an AppleMac for about 3 years now; before that I was a PC user. Here's a list of reasons why I'm glad I switched:\nMacs crash *much* less often than your average Windows machine.\nViruses, trojans etc. are much rarer for the Mac.\nIn my experience at least, Macs last much longer than PCs.\nMacs are great to look at.\nThe operating system is very intuitive and much simpler to understand than Windows.\nThe community of Mac users (especially online) is great. When you meet someone else who has one, you just feel instantly connected to them.\nThey're much better than PCs for graphics and image editing.\nApple are not the subject of any anti-trust lawsuits, unlike Microsoft.

Would anyone consider giving up US citizenship? why? where would you go and why?

I wouldn't personally but there are many who have a closer connection with other countries.  No matter how wonderful you think the US is, there are many out there who feel the same way about other countries.


why do i suddenly have ducks in my garden?? they have appeared from nowhere?? odd?

What types of things do you have in your garden? Ducks are attracted to certain types of plants. My mom-in-law had a similar duck problem. They liked to come & pop the tops off of her marigolds. Why marigolds? Haven't the slightest clue since they stink!\n\nAnyway it is something they are attracted to.\n\n:)

It's my country - and I love it.\n\nBut I hate what it has become in the eyes of the world. through Blair's stupidity\n\nHOW can anyone with a brain respect Blair? Bush's little lapdog? Desperate for his place in history, no matter how many people have to die?\n\nAssume the poster who hates imperialism also hates the US?\n\nBTW Simo - what's YOUR answer? You're in uniform in your pic - don't think I don't support the troops in places like Iraq and Afgahistan - I just don't think you should have been sent.\n\nASKSULEMAN is an idiot - it was the US who forced the UK into the invasion of Iraq. He cites a lot of sources, but I doubt he's read any of them.


Christains you say God & Jesus are the same that mean GOD's mother is Mary?

What has helped you treat depression naturally?

Sunlight, in the winter get a bulb that emits sunlight like tones or even a plant bulb. Also fresh air, mild exercises. Any exercises or stretching you do today that you didn't yesterday is an improvement.Not too much too fast so you get sore and discouraged.\n Try giving your time and energy to a group or cause, focus on others for a bit. Smile at people you come in contact with, make a nice comment to someone at least once a day. Trying to find something nice or comforting to another can often brighten your day as well. Balance your food intake into smaller more frequent meals. \nSet small goals for yourself, and mark their achievement even if only mentally. Reflect on your day don't dwell on the bad but remark on the good. As for the bad, Put it to bed so to speak before you go to bed yourself. recognize but don't let it be an excuse to feel bad, beat yourself up, or hold you back. Pick one area to improve on the next day. Also if you go to docs be sure to mention any  and all meds and supplements you are currently taking.\nGood luck, don't get discouraged by a bad moment, hour or day.

Who came up with the name Yahoo and why?

There are many companies / brands / products whose names\nwere derived from strange circumstances.\n\nYahoo!\nThe word was invented by Jonathan Swift and used in his\nbook 'Gulliver's Travels'. It represents a person who is repulsive\nin appearance and action and is barely human. Yahoo! Founders\nJerry Yang and David Filo selected the name because they\nconsidered themselves yahoos.\n\nMercedes\nThis was actually the financier's daughter's name.\n\nAdobe\nThis came from name of the river Adobe Creek that ran behind\nthe house of founder John Warnock.\n\nApple Computers\nIt was the favorite fruit of founder Steve Jobs. He was three\nmonths late in filing a name for the business, and he threatened\nto call his company Apple Computers if the other colleagues\ndidn't suggest a better name by 5 O'clock.\n\nCISCO\nIt is not an acronym as popularly believed. It is short for San\nFrancisco.\n\nCompaq\nThis name was formed by using COMp, for computer, and PAQ\nto denote a small integral object.\n\nCorel\nThe name was derived from the founder's name Dr. Michael\nCowpland. It stands for COwpland REsearch Laboratory.\n\nGoogle\nThe name started as a joke boasting about the amount of\ninformation the search-engine would be able to search. It was\noriginally named 'Googol', a word for the number represented by\n1 followed by 100 zeros. After founders - Stanford graduate\nstudents Sergey Brin and Larry Page presented their project to\nan angel investor, they received a cheque made out to 'Google'\n\nHotmail\nFounder Jack Smith got the idea of accessing e-mail via the web\nfrom a computer anywhere in the world. When Sabeer Bhatia\ncame up with the business plan for the mail service, he tried all\nkinds of names ending in 'mail' and finally settled for hotmail as\nit included the letters "html" - the programming language used to\nwrite web pages. It was initially referred to as HoTMaiL with\nselective uppercasing.\n\nHewlett Packard\nBill Hewlett and Dave Packard tossed a coin to decide whether\nthe company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard or\nPackard-Hewlett.\n\nIntel\nBob Noyce and Gordon Moore wanted to name their new\ncompany 'Moore Noyce' but that was already trademarked by a\nhotel chain so they had to settle for an acronym of INTegrated\nELectronics.\n\nLotus (Notes)\nMitch Kapor got the name for his company from 'The Lotus\nPosition' or 'Padmasana'. Kapor used to be a teacher of\nTranscendental Meditation of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.\n\nMicrosoft\nCoined by Bill Gates to represent the company that was devoted\nto MICROcomputer SOFTware. Originally christened Micro-Soft,\nthe '-' was removed later on.\n\nMotorola\nFounder Paul Galvin came up with this name when his company\nstarted manufacturing radios for cars. The popular radio\ncompany at the time was called Victrola.\n\nORACLE\nLarry Ellison and Bob Oats were working on a consulting project\nfor the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency). The code name for the\nproject was called Oracle (the CIA saw this as the system to give\nanswers to all questions or something such). The project was\ndesigned to help use the newly written SQL code by IBM. The\nproject eventually was terminated but Larry and Bob decided to\nfinish what they started and bring it to the world. They kept the\nname Oracle and created the RDBMS engine. Later they kept the\nsame name for the company.\n\nSony\nIt originated from the Latin word 'sonus' meaning sound, and\n'sonny' a slang used by Americans to refer to a bright youngster.\n\nSUN\nFounded by 4 Stanford University buddies, SUN is the acronym\nfor Stanford University Network. Andreas Bechtolsheim built a\nmicrocomputer; Vinod Khosla recruited him and Scott McNealy to\nmanufacture computers based on it, and Bill Joy to develop a\nUNIX-based OS for the computer.

If an object is dropped from a helicopter, what happens when it reaches terminal velocity?

Doesn't matter whether it's dropped from a helicopter, skyscraper, or the goodyear blimp.  Terminal velocity is the velocity at which the air resistance of a falling object is equal to the acceleration due to to gravity, and the object can no longer can gain speed.  It's not a constant, as you get closer to the ground air pressure will increase, so the air's resistance will increase, and the teminal velocity will drop. The object will actually slow down.

i want to know the difference between obsession and love?

Obsession (or I call it infactuation) is that feeling that you can't stop thinking about the other person.  You are constantly making up little scenarios about them.  When you are with them you feel intensely aware of every movement they make.\nAfter being together a long time the obsession fades.  It doesn't usually last longer than 2 yrs.  Once the obsession has faded, you are usually left with a sense of belonging with the person.  It feels natural and  it feels like you "fit together".  \n\nThis is love.


what is SAP experience? (in terms of a job which entails having "sap" experience)?

There are two types of SAP experiences you can have.\n1) You are part of the team that got the SAP software (R/3, CRM, etc) up for your company or companies for which you were a consulting resource.\n2) Your company used SAP software and you happened to make use of it as part of your job (accountant, HR, inventory manager, sales rep etc..).


Who said “a person will rise to their level of incompetence?”?

For many, the Peter Principle (PP) was a revelation. For me too. I was, I realised, not, after all, the unique victim of bloody minded destiny. And neither are you. Our positions of oppression were, and are, produced by a natural law of the universe. Yes indeed. Someone had at last explained why it is that so many people in positions of authority seem to be incompetent. They are. In case you missed this gem of insight, let me recap. \n\nThe Peter Principle states that - \n\nIn a mature bureaucracy people are promoted to their own level of incompetence. \n\nWhen a person, working in a hierarchical bureaucracy, does his or her task competently, he or she will gain promotion to a higher post which is more demanding. If the person finds this new task beyond his or her capabilities he or she will then perform that task incompetently. No further promotion will be gained and the person will, from that moment on, be stuck in that post. The PP has about it the simple elegance of Darwin's theory of evolution. When it is explained, you see that it must be so and you wonder who you didn't think of it yourself. And yet ... it contains an insidious flaw. \n\nDeficiencies of the Peter Principle.\n\n(1) When a person is promoted (the promotEE), there has to be another person (the promotER) who does the promoting. The Peter Principle depends crucially upon the promoter's job being performed competently. The promoter must be able to distinguish competence from incompetence in candidates for promotion. So what happens if the promoter has already reached his or her level of incompetence? And there are other sources of error in the Peter Principle -\n\n(2) PP contains a hidden assumption that the difficulty of a task, at any level in a hierarchy, increases with increasing level. And we all know that that is not always true. The hardest task in any hierarchy is the one YOU are doing. Everyone else is getting a ride on your back especially the person who is just one level above you. \n\n(3) PP also assumes that there is only one kind of difficulty and only one kind of competence. Again not true. As predicted by the PP the best football players do not always make good managers but is it not also true that some of the best managers were indifferent players. Further - \n\n(4) PP predicts that when a person reaches their incompetence level they will be only marginally incompetent. The theory does not begin to explain the ubiquitous presence of super-incompetence. How, for example, can it explain how John Major became the British Prime Minister when he had already reached his incompetence level when he was a trainee bank clerk? So there has to be more. The PP may be a valuable insight, it may explain why so many people in high places are incompetent, but it not why they are so abysmally incompetent.


When did Christians stop believing in the Real Presence of the Eucharist?

This is something that has been debated for centuries . . . even before the Protestant Reformation.  Catholic scholars argued about it too, though the consensus remained that the bread and wine do become the Body and Blood of Christ.  And Luther NEVER argued against the Real Presence.  However, some Protestants after Luther did. . . and as Protestantism spread, so did the idea that this was only a symbolic act.  Check out this link . . . and search at the site for other articles.  http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05573a.htm

No insects sleep, in the traditional sense. They go into something called "diapause." What happens is at night in temperate climates, the air temperature drops to levels at which the insect can no longer function normally. They get sluggish, find a safe place to hide, and stay there, in a nearly "frozen" state, completely inactive until the sun rises and temperatures increase. \n\nFor ants in tropical climates, the air temperatures usually do not get chilly enough for them to go into diapause and they work throughout the night, never sleeping.\n\nSo the answer is true.


That is a tough one.. There are sought to be made explanations but.. sifting through all of them, I believe it is: Around the year 1700, the slang verb cop entered English usage, meaning "to get ahold of, catch, capture." By 1844, cop showed up in print, and soon thereafter the -er suffix was added, and a policeman became a copper, one who cops or catches and arrests criminals. Copper first appeared in print in 1846, the use of cop as a short form copper occured in 1859


America is the most beautiful country i think, in the world. Good government, good land, good structure. But unfortunately most of the people i don't like. No-one friendly, bush-haters, Jesus-haters, and a million more. Nobody will say "hi" or wave any more. They make fun of people they don't like and envy. People get so offended, no more holidays on calenders, "my holiday is not on there." etc. i have seen so many smart-Alick answers on here. nobody will be NICE anymore. It bothers me. and not to mention the cussing. I am equally disappointed.

what team should i be supportin durin the world cup..?

It should come down to what Country your from or what you country you live in if neither are in it. Pick your favorite players, or the country that has the most connection to you. If That doesn't work pick an underdog. Everyone loves the underdog. \nHer is a list of nations that not to many people support.\n1. Togo\n2. Angola\n3. Australia\n4. Iran \n5. Serbia & Montenegro \n6. Ecaudor \n7. Japan\n8. Ukraine \n9. Saudi Arabia \n10.Trinidad & Tobago \nor just do what ever football fans does support Brazil. \nHopefully this could help you find a nation to support. \nI know it is hard to find a nation to pick and God knows everyone wants to support Italy, England, or Brazil. \nPersonally I support The Netharlends for the fact that I've lived there for two years. As an underdog I chose Iran because I like the players they have. And the last thing the world needs is a another England Fan please people just because you watch the premiership doesn't mean England is the best. Their is a reason why England last world Cup title was 1966. Although this a long opinion take your time and the country you support will be worth it. Remember you're not supporting a country for just the world Cup but every world cup after that.


I had gall bladder surgery 3 years ago. They did it laporscopically which means they went through my belly button and mad 3 small incisions in my stomach. Since it is in the stomach region, they do consider it major surgery, however, after having it I really don't think it is that bad. I stayed in the hospital overnight and then went home the next day. I did have a little pain at the hospital in my back and shoulders because when they pump your abdomen when air so they can work easily around the organs, it leaves tiny air bubbles inside you when they take the air out, so that was uncomfortable but I didn't feel it anymore after 2 or 3 days. My abdomen was really sore and when I walked around it would have a few sharp pains if it jiggled or something but I had some pretty good medicenes that helped me out. The recovery was pretty easy acctually. After a week I was doing really well. I still had pain but not as bad at all. I could start doing things at 2 weeks like going places. And I had to stay on a really low fat diet for about 6 weeks because the gall bladder helps digest fat and since I didn't have that anymore, fat runs through me faster and could make me sick. So after 6 weeks, my body was used to this change and could go back to eating reguarly. Not to say that fatty foods are okay to eat even after the 6 week mark because sometimes I get really bad diarea still (after 3 yrs) because my body doesnt have the gall bladder. All in all I am pretty normal still. I don't even notice a change really. I eat a normal diet so everything is fine. Good luck and don't be scared. It goes smoothly and quickly and you'll be fine.

let me know the deepest psychological consequences for being affected as a marijuana user?

Mainly lack of motivation and lack of initiative.  Some users are exposed to harder drugs and to hard drug users and gravitate into this lifestyle.  Not everyone of course but it is a danger.\n\nI'm 46 years old and I've seen some very smart and decent people go absolutely nowhere in life because of excessive pot use.  They're still in the same little town with a couple of divorces and a dead end job.  I never saw it help anyone to advance in life, be it relationships, education or jobs.

How do today's fashions shows social or class distinction?

Representing brand names, like having the latest Louis Vuitton or whatever, is the biggest one I can think of.  Letting others know that you have the latest shows social or class distinction because you had the money to buy it.  Wearing the most up-to-date trends also shows social distinction that you are up-to-date.

RE:Handling abusive men.....I'm 52 years old. Starting over with a new life seems like a grim option.?

LEAVE HIM -- you owe it to yourself to find a happier life.  Don't think that you are too old or that you have invested too much time in this relationship.  Don't let him talk down to you or intimidate you into not leaving.  He's the coward and he's trying to take his insecurity out on you.  The transition period won't be easy, but once you are away from him, you will look back and be glad that you ended it.  Better things are in store for you.  Good luck.

Is resevation in the IIT's and IIM's a good idea?

No. Its a dirty political game. Gandhi ji fought against untouchability but these politicians promoting this "untouchability". Yes, most of us dont have any friends from these reserved categories. Beacause most unreserved category population hates these reserved category people because they are enjoying the special "privilage" of reservation class but we are not responsible for this BUT OUR POLITICIANS because their children dont suffer in any way so they cant feel any pains. Why they want to divide and rule in this way? just for their self interest? \nThese reserved category will be respected when they come forward to compete in a fair manner only using their brains and oppose this reservation policy if they want any respect in the society. Otherwise they will live "untouchability" for generations to come.


Good point.\n\nSlavery, the slaughter of whole Indian tribes, and witch burning are also a part of our history .. but no one is crying to get chains, piles of dead Indian children or witch trial monuments placed.\n\nThat is the whole thing about American religion and politics, religion has nothing to hang it's claims on in the metaphysical world, so they are desperate for some connection to legitimacy in the "material" world .. they always go for numbers (mob rule) or the political connection (if it were not for christian laws, the USA would be nothing).


What music band do you think is overrated?

Nirvana indefinitely, and I blame that on Kurt Cobain's widow, Courtney Love (equally overrated,) and all the attention she's been getting from the media.

I had a dream about a guy that I like.  It was very frightening.  What should I do?

Don't worry, it was just a dream. Since you were thinking about telling him you liked him, that might have been your mind's way of backing out and coping with the stress. Brace yourself when you ask him and I bet'cha he won't say that.(I should know, I'm a guy myself.)


How long does it take to clone a human? How much does it cost?

Cloning a human, as any other mammals, is a quick process (often not succesful though). If all necessary equipment, DNA and egg donors are ready, it can be cloned in one day and be born 9 months later. Please do not confuse the act of cloning (i.e., the procedure itself, which includes replacing DNA of an egg with donor DNA) with the time it takes for the clone to develop in uterus, to be born and grow up (as for any normal human being, it would take years to reach maturity).\nReal cost of one cloning procedure I'd say could be a little bit higher than what people pay now for in vitro fertilization. The fact is, however, that current technology cannot ensure hastle-free and error-free cloning, therefore nobody would do it on humans (unless illegaly, but that would cost millions I'd suspect). It requires further research and science advancement, which is costly (we are talking billions here).

As a parent, education is #1 in our home as well.

They will never stop worring, that is their job! I say, have your relationship BUT, do NOT let it interfere with your college! No surprises and take it slow! Good Luck !

You said it you need a life and when you find one see if it is buy one get one free.  I will take the free one.  lol

Where can i download/watch highlights of football games on the net? I mean football as in soccer, just in case

The best I have found is Maxxed Football forum @ fbtz.com.  You have to register (which is free, and they dont sell your email or contact you alot) and then you are in.  People post whole games, highlights, compilations, etc.  The whole 9 yards, old and new games.  That's the best, but like written above they have had problems with copyright.  Since it is a forum though, I believe they will get thru it.  Fifa.com has soccer footage of entire classic games, classic players and teams, etc.  Their setup is fun to watch oldies...to file thru and remember a highlight from your childhood or something.  Also youtube.com has a decent amount of highlights, but it is not dedicated to soccer, so it's all reliant on if someone feels like putting the highlights up or not.  Uefa.com puts up highlights as well, but they seem to really be under the legal constraints of copyrights.


What are the attributes to a good resource?

If you are talking about natural resources, then a good thing to have would be to be renewable. Otherwise it will soon run out.\n\nIf you're talking about in general, a resource, then it should give sufficient information, have sources, authors, and all other things necessary to cite it. Meaning there should be proof to back it up if you're...for example, talking to someone as a resource. Like an interview.


Has Ronaldhino ever scored an own goal or received a red card?

Never an own goal but has earned two redcards. The one I remember most recently was against Real Zaragoza in a Copa del Rey game this year. (either February or March)\n\nIt was an undeserved straight redcard and he was as shocked as the fans, the players, the commentators and everyone else. The referee in that game had made some very suspicious calls against Barca (and for Zaragoza) that got people talking.

Black Females ONLY!! Would you date outside of your race??

Well why could'nt you date outside your race?  There's no reason why you could'nt or should not.  I believe if you had the right frame of mind, about why you are doing what your doing regardless of race, because we are all God's creation, one drop of blood has made all nations.  If you can have the wisdom to know how to handle this world we live in, concerning the thoughts, ideas, opinions, and feelings of others, not to mention lies, and deceits from generations of races, and those who don't have a clue whats really going on.  You can be in control of what you think, and feel about what others say.  Go with your pure heart, after you have renewed your mind!!!  Honey listen I'm not one to go dating to find out if I'm compatable with someome, I did that when a young girl, and didn't have no sense, don't let the world, people, and whatever else dictate your undefiled love life, that's between you, that man, and God!!!    \nHope this Have helped you girlfriend.


Why is women  football notfamous as men football?

It`s not nearly as competitive. Women at a pro level would be closer to men`s high school or college levels.


how do i get over my husband cheating and try to continue a relationship with him?

Make sure his relationship is actually over.  Give yourself time to heal, and don't push yourself.  Some days will be harder than others.  Just do your best not to keep throwing it in his face.  It will be tempting, but counterproductive.  Good luck.


Does anyone handicap football games for fun?

I'm interested, can you click on my name and send me an email as to exactly what you do.


I got a 128 mb Kingston.  It is the silver one.   Nice looking and no data has ever been lost.  If you have usb2, it can use that kind of port, so transferring files are fast.  If you can afford it, then get a 1 gb, or 4 gb.  But for saving files that don't amount to much memory, 128 mb is sufficent.   Kingston is the only one that I have ever used.  There is no splash screens that pop-up everytime you put the drive into the usb device, so that eliminates time wasted.


how many direction of motion  does a person feel at any one time.?

3,You can walk in X axis direction(horizontal),the earth can move you also in Y direction(by turning or wind),and the solar system can make up for the Z direction(up or down).But you would not FEEL the Y and Z even if present they are small so you really would feel only one but three would be there.three=X,Y,Z. \n\nOR If we'd blow you up with a bomb you'd FEEL all three at the same time!!! probably momentarily too!!!\n\nthe result would be you'd travel a distance(AND a direction represented by XYZ) in a strait line to somewhere.\n\nPearlsawme:how would you explain to somebody where to go if you had to give directions. Force=f(x)+f(y)+f(z] if i give values to XYZ you'll know where to go.The relationship by which the alignment or orientation of any position with respect to any other position is established.\nApril 16:GOOD POINT YOU WIN Pearlsawme but representing the direction as to take XYZ in consideration.Also just to be clear to others,lets not forget that a force implies an acceleration, f=ma,after the initial impulse you would still move in that direction without any additional force.Example tennis ball in space.\n\nChinu:your explanation sounds logical(?) enough but i have to wonder if parallel dimensions really exist.Personally being a realist i think they are seeing some sort of image or a fast jump of the electron(or both)...but I'm not qualified to say.


Is it possible to get into a good college with lousy grades?

Well, I don't know the policies and practices of the particular colleges to which you are applying. What colleges look for, though, is evidence that you can succeed in college. Having good SAT scores (which you do) suggests that you have ability to succeed in college. That you are involved in some honors classes, that you are involved in some activities outside the classroom that indicate responsibility, is great. \n\nNow, what we are worried about when we see a student with good SAT scores and low GPA is that they are smart but lazy or otherwise unmotivated. So, to get in the door of college you need to explain in a cogent way why your grades are so poor, and explain it in a way that shows colleges that whatever is the issue now won't affect you in college (or you've come up with a way to resolve the issue). The really tough part is to make sure that your application is read, as some schools use grades and SAT scores to make the first cut in considering applications. There are some schools that read all applications, no matter what the credentials are. So, look for these schools to apply to.\n\nFinally, you can always go to a community college for a year or two and transfer. Get very good grades, get to know faculty who can write you great recommendations, and you can go to a great school.\n\nOh, and yes, get very good grades the rest of your high school career.....


Yes, I met him. I liked his version of The Eagles "A Whole in tHe World" that he sang with his brother. I am not sure if it is on any of his albums but he sang it at an event at Liberty University.


How do i get my xp computer to see my 300 gb hd?

you could be having a hardware problem rather than just windows not seeing your drive, it depends on your motherboard's ability to support that capacity drive!\nwhat you need to do is provide the specs of your computer so readers can get an idea of what we're dealing with here so we will be better able to advice you, but in my opinion it more seems hardware than software problem, sometimes it could even be simply a jumper setting on your hard drive or mainboard that will allow windows to see your full capacity, it can be a sticky situation, check your board's BIOS also and see if updates are available for it as that could also be a problem too, in all of this i do wish you good luck.


should you go to clubs when you're in a relationship?

tell your boyfriend to buy the 2006 calendar in case he forgot that we're in the 21st century. It's totally cool for you to go clubbing. A club isn't just a hook up place it's also a way for u to unwind through dancing, drinking and chatting with your friends. \n\nAs long as you're not picking up guys or giving them your number or letting them write their number on ur bra, it's totally cool and guilt free to go clubbing. \n\nI don't think that the clubbing is the problem at all. Don't feel guilty to want to have fun. you need to have your alone time too even married girls need alone time and girl times. explain that to him. i think the problem really is his trust. He doesn't trust u enough in a setting wherein there are lots of guys around for u to pick. \n\nYou might be able to resolve this by taking him clubbing once or twice. show him that the club doesnt have to be a threatening place that it's actually fun and can be fun for both of u.

is anyone having trouble w/ turbotax they purchased last year?

Tax laws change from year to year ... best get a new copy and write it off on your taxes. \n\nMake sure the shortcut points to the correct folder. You might have to re-install it but save last year's return first.


What do you like better and use more (or click on more), text or flash/picture/audio advertisements?

For general advertisements, I much prefer text links to click on.  They are quicker to load and if I am playing my own music or running other software, they don't interfere.  I will steer clear of all flash and audio advertisements because they tend to disrupt what I am currently doing.\n\nI do prefer picture advertisements when considering buying a product, as long as they don't take too long to load (you know the type, the huge pictures that take an hour to appear on screen).  \n\nI would suggest definately staying away from audio as the audio ad's are just plain annoying.  Flash ad's, while cool looking, aren't compatible with all systems and can be annoying as well.\n\nSometimes keeping things simple and easy to use, easy to see, and easy to understand...is the best way to go.  Fancy is not always better.

i have poor impulse control and keep invading my spouses privacy?

Oh my goodness!  Listen to all the stick your poor huband is getting from people who don't know him, after you've told us you have OCD.  Some of you people need to get with the picture.\n\nObsessional jealousy is a common manifestation of OCD, the compulsion being to constantly check on the object of the jealousy.  If have OCD then you should seek help as it is extremely unlikely to get better by itself.  I would add that you should try not to beat yourself up about it, it sounds like you have an illness that needs treating.  The good news is that a combination of drugs and counselling is an effective treatment for OCD for many people.\n\nAnother thing... I would say that whether your marriage is 'worth it' or not is beside the point.  Even if it weren't, and I'm sure it is, the jealousy will continue to be problem for you with whichever new partner you might find.


Any other women have trouble with their ankles swelling?

Hi, I don't have trouble with my ankles swelling, however one of the reasons your ankles could swell is possibly due to the fact that you are not active enough during the day because of your work situation. The lymphatic system does not have a pump like the circulatory system and so requires body movement in order to move excess fluid to be processed and removed from the body. Try rotating your ankles periodically while sat at your desk, or try to move around the office more, if that does not help, please see your medical practioner to rule out anything else. \n Also, take a look at any medicatons you may be taking, some may cause swelling at the ankles, good luck xx


I'm looking for information of tax deed sales in new Hanover county north Carlina?

You can go to your county offices, there should be and entire room of deeds and land maps, and that sort of thing. Its open to the public by law. Try calling the county clerk to find out where the office is located and the hours and so on. Its a fairly simple process, most of the time there is a person on hand to help answer any questions. \n\nIts set up like a library, according to lots and addresses. It also will help if you have the tax number, or deed number. If not the address will usually do. the current or previous own will also help.

Guys, tell the truth- are some vaginas tighter than other, or are they all pretty much the same?

They are all pretty much the same except for the two extremes.  I have had really tight and I have really loose.  Also, the girl can squeeze during penetration or (my favorite) make it pulse.  Also, I've noticed I can make her tightness change depending on what I do.  Spanking or pinching or pulling tends to change the tension as does the state of arousal.  Yeah, so all pretty much the same.

is it normal to have different shape nipples? any side effect?

I work as a mammographer, and I see lots of different breasts every day!  They come in all shapes and sizes, and lots of women aren't symmetrical.\n\nThe only time to worry about different shaped nipples is if one suddenly becomes inverted.  This can be a sign of breast cancer and needs to be checked out by a GP.  Having said that, though, some women can be born with an inverted nipple and it never causes them any trouble.\n\nI'd say you're perfectly normal!


What determines the max level of work in well trained athletes?  What limits max level of work in the av. pop?

Everybody's a little different.  For example, a person's ability to run a marathon might be limited by muscular endurance (not having enough stored energy), or it might be limited by cardiovascular endurance (not being able to deliver enough oxygenated blood to the leg muscles).  In theory, you want these things to be matched pretty well--if you're pushing yourself to exhaustion.  For example, if your lungs crap out before your legs do, then you've basically wasted all that reserve energy you've got in your legs.\n\nWhat determines muscular performance?  Nutrition, muscle mass, regularity of exercise.  A lot can be attributed to the physical shapes of your bones and how the muscles are attached--that's stuff that you can thank or curse your parents for.\n\nWhat about cardiovascular performance?  Again, there is some genetic component to it, but this one is probably much more dependent on training--getting the heart rate up for sustained periods frequently.\n\nI'm willing to guess that most athletes are limited more by their muscular endurance, while most average people are limited by their cardiovascular endurance.


That's fine, lots of couples wait until they are married to have sex even though they have had sex with each other before.  It just makes the honeymoon better because both of you will be extremely horny, so you will enjoy it more.  He's a good guy; just wait.  I promise you, it will be worth it!

Timeline: Delphi's history\n\nDelphi, the world's second-biggest auto parts maker, has been a publicly traded company for six years, and its roots go back to 1888 when the New Departure Bell Co. was formed to produce the first doorbell ringing device. The company has used the name Delphi for 10 years. Its storied history parallels that of General Motors Corp., its former owner, and includes innovations such as the dashboard radio, interior lighting, rack-and-pinion steering and air bag restraint systems. Here's a closer look at key events that helped bring about Delphi. \n\n1988: GM creates ACG Worldwide to bring all of its components divisions under one unit. \n\n1991: GM takes additional steps to restructure its automotive parts subsidiaries -- Saginaw Steering, Harrison Thermal, Packard Electric, AC Delco and others -- into a separate business group. J.T. Battenberg III, a GM manufacturing veteran, is named to head the group. \n\n1994: After consolidating and shedding dozens of supply operations, GM forms Automotive Components Group. \n\n1995: ACG is renamed Delphi Automotive Systems. \n\n1996: A 17-day strike at two GM brake plants in Dayton, Ohio, shuts down production in North America, costing GM nearly $1 billion. \n\n1997: GM and Hughes Electronics Corp. announce and complete the spin-off of Hughes Defense electronics business, followed by the merger of that business with Raytheon and the transfer of Delco Electronics from Hughes to Delphi. \n\n1998: UAW strikes two key Delphi and GM plants in Flint. GM North American vehicle production is shut down for two months. \n\n• GM announces Delphi will become a fully independent, publicly traded company during 1999. \n\n1999: Delphi Automotive Systems becomes a publicly held corporation on Feb. 25 -- becoming America's 36th largest business overnight. On May 28, Delphi becomes independent of GM. Delphi begins paying cash dividend of 7 cents a share a quarter. \n\n2002: Delphi Automotive Systems is renamed Delphi Corp. to reflect growing nonautomotive business, including medical equipment. \n\n2003: GM, Delphi and United Auto Workers sign new four-year deal that keeps Delphi under master wage and benefit contracts through 2007. \n\n2004: Delphi and UAW reach seven-year deal to pay new hires permanently lower wages and benefits. The company is subpoenaed by the Securities & Exchange Commission in July regarding irregular accounting practices and financial transactions. \n\n2005: Delphi discloses irregular accounting practices have overstated cash flow in previous years. Key financial executives, including CFO Alan Dawes, resign. \n\nDelphi Chairman J.T. Battenberg III retires and is replaced by Robert S. (Steve) Miller, a turnaround expert. Annual cash dividend is reduced from 28 cents a share to 8 cents a share. \n\nOct. 2005: Delphi files to reorganize its struggling U.S. operations under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. A new chief financial officer, Robert Dellinger, former CFO at Sprint Corp., is named.


Will a Homestead protect my property from a trustee sale?

For bankruptcy purposes, yes your house will not be included in the assets being liquidated depending on the laws of the state.  But typically not (not here in FL at least)\n\nIn a foreclosure situation, no... just makes it a little harder to foreclose.


Actually, SuperShoey is correct.  Sorry for the incorrect answer I gave, I wasn't thinking.  When talking in BITS, there are 1,000 kilobits in one megabit.  However, there are 1,024 Kilobytes in a MegaByte.  There are 8 bits in a byte.\n\nThis is where people are getting confused.  They believe that because there are actually 1,024 bytes in a KB, that there will also be 1,024 bits in a kilobit.  This is not so.\n\n1 Mbps = 1,000Kbps

What does the term "self-actualization" mean?

"You guessed it. Selfactualization, self actualisation, and selfactualisation are all misspellings of Self-actualization. You would be amazed how easy it is to misspell it. \n\nBut, whether you spell it selfactualisation or selfactualization, the definition remains the same. Self actualisation is the act of doing what makes you feel fulfilled. This is not the same thing as personal growth or self improvement, both of which imply movement from a lower state to a higher state. Self-actualisation is the higher state. \n\nHere are just a couple definitions of selfactualization: \n\n"A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be. This is the need we may call self-actualization ... It refers to man's desire for fulfillment, namely to the tendency for him to become actually in what he is potentially: to become everything that one is capable of becoming ..."

Does this look like a suitcase shop to you?


why countries taxed differently on gasoline especially discrepancy we see in Europe and United States?

The simple economic principle of "Supply and Demand". This states that you charge more if it is a more wanted item. If there is a demand of it and a small supply then it is very valuable (like iPods and such) the people will charge you what ever they want because they know you need it. But if there is less demand and doesnt matter how much supply the producers will charge less as a means of selling their item (ie the sales been at store, nobody wants it so they sell it for cheap).\n\nRight now the war is slowing down how much oil can be exported which is making the supply drop. Not to mention that the oil compnies need to turn the crude oil into gasoline which cost money as well.

Do you think it is right that my ex-friend at school is making me move to a diffrent lunch table.?

First of all, how can she MAKE you move? Second, if she's you "ex"-friend, why would you want to sit at the same table anyway. Third, have you tried talking to said ex-friend. I highly doubt this seeing as how you have posted this question on yahoo answers and good communication usually solves problems like this.


What does it mean when to say I'm only  dating you, but we're not a couple??

It sounds to me like he doesn't want you as a girlfriend, but he doesn't want anyone else to have you either.  By leading you on the way he is, he knows that you will stay by him and not date anyone else because of the chance he will say you are a couple again.  I went through it for 6 years.


Barbault Cyclic Index... about it, what is it and what does it mean?

This index is computed by adding the degree distances of the ten subsets of the five outer planets, Jupiter through Pluto. The angular separations of Jupiter-Saturn, Jupiter-Uranus, Jupiter-Neptune, etc. all the way through to the tenth subset, Neptune-Pluto, are added together and plotted on a graph This Cyclic Index was likened by Mr Barbault to the lungs of our solar system, alternately expanding and contracting over time. A low of 300 degrees was reached in 1983, followed by an ascent to 840 degrees in 1990. Then, a decline in the Index occurred until 1997, bottoming out at 500 degrees. The Index has been ascending for the last five years, and will decline after 2003 until around 2009-10 when the next Jupiter-Neptune and Jupiter-Uranus conjunctions occur.

how does lack of surfactant influence ventilation?

surfactant is produced by the lungs in order to maintain the surface tension of the aveolar, and to enhance gaseous exchange for respiration.  \n\nWith sufractant, your aveolar will collapse and no air can be exchange.  \n\nVery often, this can happen to premature infant, most likely when the baby was born before 33 week gestation age.  Those baby will present with respiratory distress at birth.  They require immediate O2 right after delivery.  NICU care is needed and most often those babies need to be intubated for mechanical ventilation due to lack of surfactant.\n\nProvine surfactant is commonly use now and the surfactant can directly pour into the ET tube into the lungs.  \n\nOn the chest X-ray, baby lack of surfactant will present a 'ground glass' pattern of the lungs.  The diagnosis is Respiratory Distress Syndrome.\n\nCurrently suggestion is to give the mother 2 doses of steriod before the immature baby is born because steriod helps lung maturity.  Also, the Lecithin;Sphingomyelin ratio of the mother before deliver can give the doctor some idea the maturity of the lungs.  If the ratio is >2, the lungs are most likely mature and have sufficient surfactant.


Legal ? LA. someone I know waived rights to community prop? Does she have any rights to the house in divorce?

If the house was paid for with community funds, she has a case.  (A case, not a sure victory.) There are lots of possible reasons (for instance, it may be that in using community funds, it is a breach of the contract, so the house is community property -- or it may be that the agreement would be found unconscionable, esp. if she had no legal advice prior to agreeing), and lots of facts that cannot be determined from your question.  But she should consult a lawyer.

what is the difference between file access and block level acces?

Your question relates to how data is stored on disks in computer systems.   The software which controls this is called a file system.\n\nThe physical disk is divided into a large number of areas usually called sectors or blocks.   (Sometimes, a file system treats several sectors together as one logical "block").  A block is the amount of data which is written to or read from the disk at once.  It's also the unit in which space is allocated on the disk to individual files.\n\nBlock level access to a disk means that the program using that kind of access can read or write individual blocks on the disk.   When this is done, there is no file system providing protection or management of the space.   File access means that the file system software is used, and the program is oblivious to the blocks, and refers to data in terms of files.  In this case (which is the more common, by far), the file system worries about figuring out and controlling which blocks are used to store each file on the disk.\n\nTo summarize, block level access provides no protection and no bookkeeping of where things are.  File access lets the progra treat the disk at a higher, more logical, level and ignore the physical aspects.

If my puppy dies does he go to heaven for me to play with when i die?

NO\n\nGod-fearing men see in animals part of God’s generous provision for human welfare. Animals have served man as burden bearers, as sources of food and clothing, as sanitation agents, and as helpers in the vital activities of plowing and harvesting. Their variety of form and color has delighted his eye; their habits and instincts have been and still are an extensive field for inquiry into the marvels of God’s creative work. Though animals die in the same manner as man, they do not share his hope of a resurrection.—2Pe 2:12; \n\nAnimals were created with a limited life span, humans had the prospect of living on earth forever. (Genesis 3:22, 23; Psalm 37:29) Jesus Christ said that to enjoy “everlasting life,” we must exercise faith and take in knowledge of God—things that animals are incapable of doing. (John 3:36; 17:3)\n\nGod created animals for the sake of humans. Animals can help them do their work and can serve as their companions or pets. They also serve to magnify God’s love and wisdom.\n\nThe Creator gave life to both humans and animals. But for how long were they to continue to live? Scientists report that humans seem to have the potential of endless life, so that investigators are perplexed as to why man dies. The Bible gives the reason. It says that the Creator gave the first humans the opportunity of living forever. Death came only because they rebelled. (Gen. 2:17; 3:17-19; Rom. 5:12) What, though, of animals? They are not capable of conscious rebellion against God; yet they live only for a length of time and then die. Hence, it is clear that the Creator never purposed that individual animals live forever. For them death was natural.—2 Pet. 2:12.

Is it right for people who didn't vote to complain about our president?

The votes were counted, it just didn't turn out like some people were hoping for. Anyway, they do have the right (freedom of speech) but they're credibility on the issue goes right out the window since if they didn't vote


what should i say in a brief speech on the tiananmen square protests?

BEIJING June 4, 1989 — It was early Summer in the capital city. Tens of thousands of ordinary citizens, many with their entire families, squatted on vacant public buildings and land and set up a makeshift village, at the foot of the seat of power, and in the shadow of important monuments.\n\nThey demanded an audience with their government and the passage of certain legislation.  To the heads of government and the press, they were agitators with a political agenda that threatened to disrupt and endanger the nation.\n\nAfter their demands were rejected, the protesters did not leave their encampments.  The head of government, refusing to meet with them, called on the national army to disperse the crowds.  Soldiers charged with bayonets while tanks and tear gas chased crowds and leveled tents and shacks.  Fires burned the camps to the ground.\n\nIn the aftermath, scores were dead, including at least two infants suffocated in the gas attack.  The total number killed remains unknown. \n\nTiananmen Square has been the site of demonstrations peaceful and violent for at least 150 years. Protests in Tiananmen in the early 1900s led to the fall of the last Imperial Dynasty (Ching or Qing). \n \nThe square was also where Mao Zedong proclaimed to the world that "The Chinese people have stood up" and announced the formation of the People's Republic on October 1, 1949. \n\nTiananmen Square is the largest public square on earth. It can be seen from space and is nearly a mile square in size. \n \nSince 1989 it has become a magnet for China's disaffected who gather there, alone or in small groups, to protest and even commit suicide. \n \nThe square is surrounded by buildings and compounds that house the most important offices of China's government \n\nThe Tiananmen Square in the center of Beijing, is said to be the biggest square in the world. It is 880 meters from north to south, and 500 meters from east to west, with total area of 440,000 square meters and can hold one million people. The Tiananmen Gate Tower sites at the north, the Five-Star Red Flag flies high on the square, the Monument to the People's Heroes dominates the center, the Great Hall of the People and the Museum of the Chinese Revolution and the Museum of Chinese History to the east and west of it, as well as The Chairman Mao Memorial Hall and the Qianmen gate, sit in the south of the square. Over several hundred years, in front of the Tiananmen, many democracy meetings and demonstrations are held. Tens of thousands of people visit daily. The Square is listed top among Beijing's 16 scenic spots.\n \n \nThe Lions Before Tiananmen-- Facing Out\nAs the first gate of the Imperial City, the Tiananmen Gate was designed very grand and magnificent as befitted the supremacy of the emperor. Old Beijingers have deep feeling towards Tiananmen and there are quite a lot XIEHOUYU-- a kind of two-part allegorical sayings. THE LIONS BEFORE TIANANMEN-- SET FACING OUT uses the two huge stone lions standing at the end of the Jinshui (Golden Water) Bridge in front of Tiananmen Gate to describe two well-matched forces.\n\nHUABIAO and WANGJUNGUI and WANGJUNCHU\n\nA well-known architectural ornament in China is the huabiao, often seen on the grounds of palaces, imperial gardens and mausoleums. It is also seen at some crossroads to mark the throroughfares.\n\nThere is a pair of such ornamental pillars carved out of marble standing in front and behind Tian'anmen, the Gate of Heavenly Peace, at the centre of Beijing. Each pillar, entwined by a divine dragon engraved in relief, carried a plate on top called CHENGLUPAN for collecting dew£¬on which squats an animal called kong. This creature in Chinese mythology is supposed to be born of the dragon and good at keeping watch. It is generally referred to as the "stone lion." The four kong at Tian'anmen have different names, the two in front facing south and with their backs to the wall are called wangjungui

whats the point if gods real why dose he hurt me at every chance he gets?

I have wanted babies since I was a kid.  I have had three miscarriages, and have no living children.\n\nMy second loss was in the second trimester, when everyone said I should've been fine.  I struggled with God a lot during that time.\n\nI didn't know why I lost my babies, but I did know that God could have prevented it, and I didn't know why He wouldn't.  I didn't want to live.  I wanted to be with my babies.  And I was angry at God.  I wondered the same thing, "Can He see me?  Does He care?"\n\nWhat I lost was a lifetime with my children, and that just seemed senseless.  But then I thought about eternity.  I don't get to be with my babies here, but I long to meet them and live in eternity with them.  I have that priviledge through Jesus.\n\nI know that God isn't in time.  Time has no bearing on Him.  But I wonder if the time that Jesus spent on the earth was the longest time God ever endured.\n\nGod was parted with His Son for 33 human years, so that I could be with my babies for eternity.\n\nDoes He care?  He cares enough that He suffered through that separation for me.\n\nWhat then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?  Romans 8:31-32\n\nWhen my father and my mother forsake me,\nThen the LORD will take care of me.  Psalm 27:10\n\n\nTherefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.  I Peter 5:6-7\n\nAs a father pities his children,\nSo the LORD pities those who fear Him.\nFor He knows our frame;\nHe remembers that we are dust.  Psalm 103:13-14\n\nAre not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.  Matthew 10:29-31\n\nYou number my wanderings;\nPut my tears into Your bottle;\nAre they not in Your book?  Psalm 56:8\n\n\nYou have moved my soul far from peace;\nI have forgotten prosperity.\nAnd I said, “My strength and my hope\nHave perished from the LORD.”\nRemember my affliction and roaming,\nThe wormwood and the gall.\nMy soul still remembers\nAnd sinks within me.\nThis I recall to my mind,\nTherefore I have hope.\nThrough the LORD’S mercies we are not consumed,\nBecause His compassions fail not.\nThey are new every morning;\nGreat is Your faithfulness.\n“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,\n“Therefore I hope in Him!”\nThe LORD is good to those who wait for Him,\nTo the soul who seeks Him.\nIt is good that one should hope and wait quietly\nFor the salvation of the LORD.\nIt is good for a man to bear\nThe yoke in his youth.\nLet him sit alone and keep silent,\nBecause God has laid it on him;\nLet him put his mouth in the dust—\nThere may yet be hope.\nLet him give his cheek to the one who strikes him,\nAnd be full of reproach.\nFor the Lord will not cast off forever.\nThough He causes grief,\nYet He will show compassion\nAccording to the multitude of His mercies.\nFor He does not afflict willingly,\nNor grieve the children of men.  Lamentations 3:17-33\n\nHe sees you.  He hears you.  He cares for you.  Just hold on.

One of my lower eyelids swelled up. Is it an allergic reaction to something I ate?

You might actually have a sty.  A sty (what a name, huh?) is caused by an ingrown eyelash.  Like an ingrown nose, leg, or pubic hair, it gets pus, kind of like a pimple.  Only, your eyes are very sensitive, so you feel the reaction more.  The only thing you can really do is wait for it to go away.\nI know that sounds gross, but they do go away quickly.\nYou can get medication for it, but it only treats the discomfort, it doesn't make it go away.\nUse a cold compress to make it feel better.  If you have to be out and about,and you find that it is a bit sensitive to light, wear sunglasses.  You might also want to wear an eyepatch to bed.  Drink plenty of water.  Also,when you wash your face, be sure to rinse well.\nIt sounds very much like a sty.  They suck, but everybody gets one at least once in their life, and they go away (usually a couple of days).\nGood luck, hope you feel better.\n\nPS if you wear contacts, wear your glasses for now.\nGood luck

Your question doesn't have much sense, since the concept of "weight" exists for things that have a small mass relatively to the one they're next to (eg. a person and the earth)\n\nYou might instead ask what is the MASS of a star.\n\nOur Sun has a mass of approx 1.9891×10^30 kg,\nbut some have even 150 times the mass of the Sun (eg. Eta Carinae)


Only For Carrie Underwood Detesters like Me How would you Torture Her?

I would tie her to a chair and put some Bose headphones on her. You know, the really expensive but incredibly great sounding headphones..........and I would turn the volume up shriekingly loud and pop in her own CD. On repeat. And feed her every so often so she'll have the strenth to keep listening.\n\nOr better yet, I would sing her songs to her. I don't know the words but I would make it up as I went along. I suck. I can't sing at all. That would really get her.

C++ Code to Implement an Abstract Interface ?

There is no such thing as an Abstract Interface.\n\nInterfaces are not supported with (ISO) C++. You should use an abstract class with only virtual methods.\n\nA .tlb file is (I'm guessing) a Type Library. These are used with COM/ActiveX controls. \n\nType of Visual Studio project: .... a C++ project I guess\n\nIf you are using managed C++, you can just add a reference to the COM object, which should add a RCW you can use (a wrapper around the object referenced). This will do most housekeeping for COM/ActiveX objects for you.


Best England Football Player, and why???

Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard are probably the best england football players. For me Rooney is the #1 soley b/c of his age. Ever since Euro 2004 he has exceled in English football being transferred from Everton to Manchester United, one of the best football clubs in the world for a huge fee of about  £23 million. That is a huge fee for a teenager. To me Wayne Rooney is the next Pele, he gets better every year and very soon he will be scoring tons of goals in the 2006 world cup in Germany.

Does our universe ever end? Is there like eventually a boundary/wall or something if we traveled as far possib

As far as we know, the only "wall" is the event horizon of the observable universe, the events beyond it from our point of observation are too far away to have their light reach us given the age of the universe. This "wall" of observation is approximately spherical (mod the local curvature) and is continually expanding at the speed of light. Every observation point in the universe has its own event horizon/observable universe.\nOtherwise, there is no evidence to think that the universe is anything but infinite. Recent observations of the cosmic microwave background give us information that the cosmology of the universe is flat, ie. planar. This does not tell us whether the universe is compact or not. The only other types of cosmologies that agreed with Einstein's equations were spherical and hyperbolic.\nFor more information, see the source.

My husband and i filed Injured Spouse...anyway to track this...?

I assume you mean you filed for Innocent Spouse relief.  The IRS needs to establish the facts on which your claim is based, and then determine whether you have satisfied the requirements for relief.  They will not grant relief automatically on the basis of your claim.  If they have not responded within 6 months of the time you filed, you have the right to file a case in court to have your claim determined.

how many americans have more than one million in savings excluding primary home?

I don't know what article you read, probably propagana for whatever purpose the writer only knows. I'm over 40 years old, and out of all the people I've ever met in my entire lifetime, maybe 1 or 2 had a million dollars in savings.

Has any one ever gone thru a identity issues before...?

Sometimes we are consumed by the roles we play in life which confuses our identity.  By that I mean, when someone asks you who you are, do you answer with "student, mother, daughter, or a job description?"  Or, do you answer with the unique qualities that make you special and represent the kind of person you are (i.e. I'm kind, thoughtful, intelligent, funny, focused, friendly..)\n\nWhen we confuse who we are with what we are our self-concept suffers because it is not being expressed. A lot of women experience this crisis when they go through a divorce because the label of wife is expunged and replaced with divorcee.  For me that is when I realized, my identity was too wrapped up in roles instead of the kind of person I became because of the roles I used to express the kind of person I am.\n\nIt really helps to list out both on paper. You'll find that the roles you play really are not that unique because a lot of people in the world play the same roles. BUT, in being who you are you play that role in a way only you can because of who you are. It assisted me in crystallizing in my mind the person I was and the person I wanted to become.

Doesn't sound like something serious, but better to find out now and put your mind at ease.


i have friend that is in love with an older man but he act some times like he really dont want to be with her?

If she is asking you for advice, tell her to kick him to the curb and find someone that will appreciate her and show her he loves her. Why waste time and energy on him.  She probably will not listen to you.  Women like to wear blinders and ignore the advice of friends about the men in their lives.  If she is not soliciting for your advice---stay out of it.


If we have a woman as a president howl lond would it take her to fix our deficit?

What does being female have to do with that?  If you mean the one that used to live in the White House awhile back, it would take her no time at all to screw up the economy ten times worse than it is.  She's a Democrat, for crying out loud!  Don't ask Democrats to fix the deficit, or they will do it by raising our taxes higher than they already are!!!


do i see that caucasian females and more attracted to brown men these days?

No, they are not more attracted (meaning, they always have been but wouldn't admit it), just more open to other options because it's more acceptable. I think that there has been a stigma attacched to inter-racial dating for many years, that has slowly subsided and it is now almost to the point where some might consider it "trendy" to be an interracial couple, in a way. That's not to say that the majority of serious inter-racial couples are just doing it to be cool or anything!!!\n\nP.S. I dig brown men.

Hi! The name of the island suggests we should find the treasure using graphs! :)\n\nLet us assume first that point A lies on the west of point D. Consider the point A to be the origin. Thus point D will lie on the X-axis and the straight lines A-B and D-C would be parallel to Y-axis. Draw the graph on paper choosing an appropriate scale, say 1 cm=10 paces. In the solution, I'm finding the points as your REAL coordinates if you are on the island itself.\n\nWe've been given the distances BD, AC, AD; find the distances AB and DC using Pythagoras theorem. They come out to be 180 and 100 paces respectively. Since we took A to be the origin, the coordinates of point B are (0,180) and for C are (240,100). The coordinates of A and D are (0,0) and (240,0).\n\nHaving found the points B, D, A, C, we can now find the equation of the lines BD and AC using the Two-Point formula. They come out to be:\n\nline BD: y=(-3/4)x + 180\nline AC: y=(5/12)x\n\nThese two lines intersect at the point E. Find the point E by equating y in both cases. Then find 'x', and put it in any one equation to find 'y'. E comes out to: (1080/7,540/7).\n\nSince the road is the X-axis itself, the distance of E from the road is its' x-coordinate: 1080/7 paces ~= 154.28.\n\nHalf the distance from E to the road is 540/7 paces, approx 77.14 paces. So the treasure is buried at a distance of a little more than 77 paces and little less than 78 paces from point E towards the road.


Energy!  A straight ball hitting the head pin, just slightly off center so as to get the best chance at a strike, has the largest resistant force to travel thru to complete the task.  By putting spin on the ball, you are adding you arm energy(the straight forward energy) alonge with the additional energy of the spin, which by the way is adding speed to the ball.  If you watch a ball go down the lane, the ball actually picks up speed right at the end of the lane.  And by striking the pins from the side, or angle, the pins scatter more destructively taking out other pins.  It is physics!  Next time you watch a bowling tourney on TV, watch the balls' speed and spin, from release to contact.  Conservation of energy.  Converting/transferring one energy/force to another.


Are there any poisonous fruits in Maine?

Hi there -- yes there are.  Here is a website that shows all the plants and fruits native to Maine and it indicates which ones are poisonous:  (specifically, the white and red baneberry are poisonous)  http://www.umext.maine.edu/onlinepubs/htmpubs/nativeplants.htm


for what? is it for a game or a specific application?\n\nthere are a few sites out there, try searching for crackplanet or crackz, i'm sure you can get what you need there.


When are High Schools closed for Easter in Spain?

Spain is a predominantly Catholic country.  Easter is one of the major Catholic holidays, so the schools would naturally be closed.
