what do i have to do when a girl smiles me?

Absolutely smile back. It might be her natural personality to smile at everyone, but she could also be trying to get your attention.  If you're bold enough, nod your head as you say "hi" to her. Then you can start up a conversation with her....now or later. But don't ignore her, you don't want her to think you're rude.

A recreational game is a game that is not meant to be used for, or is not used for, educational purposes.\n\nAn example of an educational game would be Typer Shark in Yahoo games. It is a game that is meant to teach typing.\n\nA recreational game would be something like Tetris or Poker. While a person can learn a limited number of things from these games, that is not their intended purpose, nor do people use them for those purposes.

what would happen if water molecules in ice crystals were densly packed as liquid water molecules?

Solid (frozen) water is lighter than liquid water.  Since low density materials float on higher density materials, ice floats on water.  \n\nSolids are typically poor condutors of heat, so ice forms an insulating barrier between the cold air and the warmer water below.  This insulating effect is what keeps lakes from freezing solid.\n\nIf ice was denser than water, ice would sink and liquid water would rise up to contact the freezing air above.  Even the deepest of lakes and rivers would freeze solid.  Life as we know it could not exist over most parts of the earth.\n\nIt is important to remember that most solids are denser than their melted (liquid) forms.  Water is very unique.  Since we cannot imagine life without floating ice, scientists are looking for water in the cosmos as signs of places that we, or other beings might be able to inhabit.


What is the temperature at which the density of water is greatest?

Water has its highest density at 4 deg. C.\n\nYou might try a Yahoo! search next time.  That's how I found the info.\n\nTake care,\nDavid Roth\nwww.tutor-homework.com

The National Football League (NFL) is the largest professional American football league, consisting of thirty-two teams from American cities and regions. The league was formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association, which adopted the name "National Football League" in 1922. The NFL is one of the major professional sports leagues of North America.\n\nPrior to the 1960s, the most popular version of American football was played collegiately. After the 1958 NFL Championship Game (which went into overtime), the NFL's greatest spurt in popularity came in the 1960s and 1970s with the merger of the rival American Football League, or AFL (1960-1969).\n\nCurrently, the league's 32 teams are divided into two conferences: the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). Each conference is then further divided into four divisions consisting of four teams each.


Where can I find a comprehensive 2006 NCAA softball schedule?

There is no comprehensive NCAA softball schedule, as the NCAA itself has no role in scheduling other than rule limits on number of games played. The only thing the NCAA schedules is the postseason tournament, which can be found on the softball page at NCAA.org (although there isn't much info as most early round sites and none of the teams have not been set).\nAs far as finding schedules, you are best checking individual schools and sometimes conferences, which will at least list all league games (although that is hit or miss by conference).\nGood luck.

What is the meaning of the engilsh language?

Can you clarify your question?\n\nThe etymology of English and England is from the word Angles, Angles being the tribe of west germanic peoples who invaded/settled/conquered the islands of the British Isles.  England is derived from the germanic way of expressing the place where Angles occupy: Land of the Angles or Angle Land.\n\nEnglish is the language that is spoken in England just like Deutsch is the language spoken in Deutschland (German/Germany).


I've had it done a few times (lots of details in my blog, below).  I stopped going only because I couldn't afford it--$70 every time.\nI did feel a lot better, a light lighter, my clothes were looser.  A friend of mine lost serious weight (a whole size) after a couple of treatments.\nThe theory is that if there's a lot of old waste built up in your intestines that it can cause illness, so if you flush it out periodically you're starting over "clean" as it were.  The gentleman I used to go to started doing it because both his parents died of colon cancer.

Where can I find an inexpensive but accurate hygrometer?

Nice question, most people unless they are weather buffs or cigar afficianados don't know about hygrometers.\n\nHygrometers measure relative humidity, or how damp or dry the air is.\n\nThere are digital and analog hygrometers.\n\nCalibration (adjusting for accuracy) of both is difficult for various reasons. To calibrate a hygrometer means you need an  accurate reference which provides accurate relative humidities over a range of air temperatures and pressures. It is not enough to calibrate a hygrometer at  just one point. \n\nMost analog (dial) hygrometers only allow you to set one point by twiddling the fixed dial until the needle is pointing to the current moisture level.\n\nMost inexpensive digital hygrometers do not have calibration controls. The next price level up only allow you to set offset and scale - this is so-called "linear calibration" and it is not much better really.\n\nDepending on what you are measuring, one of the easiest ways to make your own accurate hygrometer is  with two accurate but inexpensive lab thermometers. See the link on how to make a wet bulb hygrometer.\n\nCheap hygrometers are easy to find on auction sites like ebay or yahoo, and using Googles Froogle search.


If we had technology that would automatically report your crimes to the police, would you support it?

haha, no.  i think the fun in crime is getting away with it.  maybe i would support it for ex-cons or something, but if everytime i J-walked i got a ticket in the mail, i would want to hurt someone.  then i would get another one and that would simply reinforce the anger.


my dial up connection is running real slow it is running at 26.4kbps it was running at 56kbps what do i do?

you should defragment it, by going to my computer, and on the bottom, right click on the C drive and than when the menu drops down click properties. Than go to tools and click defragment. That should help, if it doesn't go to your C drive again and click disk cleanup. If all fails, do a spyware and virus check that should do the trick. Good Luck!

Where in the bible is does it say that the devil is an angel?

At 2nd Corinthians  chapter 11, verses 14 and 15, the Bible reads,  "And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light. It is therefore nothing great if his ministers also keep transforming themselves into ministers of righteousness. But their end shall be according to their works."\n\nHere, the Devil, who is also called Satan, is described as posing as something he is not - an angel of light.  In reality, he is an angel or messenger of darkness.  To deceive people, he disquises himself and his human agents as something good so that people will follow him.  \n\nOne way he does this is by using false religious organizations which appear to be good on the outside but that are evil in their practices.  You might have read about such religions whose priests molest children or encourage their members to kill people in warfare.\n\nOriginally, Satan was a righteous angel who turned bad by his own choice.(Ezekiel 28:14,15)  Back then, his name was not Satan or Devil.  These are terms by which he came to be described.  Satan means slanderer or opposer.  Devil means liar.  This angel gone bad is both of these things.

Why does God have to have his son killed before he can forgive us?

God does love unconditionally, but love cannot cancel out Justice, they must both be infinite, or God could not claim to be ultimatley Good, which he does claim.  There was sin, and it must be payed for, or God's Justice would consume it regardless of his love for what was consumed. \n\n If you loved your child, but the child did a horrendous crime, would you turn him into the authorities, or would you hide him? Surely it is unjust for a mother to hide her murdering son from the  law.  If the mother is Just, she will turn her son into the police, even though she still loves the kid, because she's a good mom. \n\n So the problem is humanity sinned against an infinite being, and that requires an infinite sacrifice to pay for that sin, otherwise, the sinner must face the punishment.  The animal sacrifices from a Christian point of view, never did remove sins, but was foreshadowing of the atonement that would come, the perfect infinite sacrifice that was required.  \n\nIf he didn't offer a perfect sacrifice to his justice, his infinitely just nature would demand that we be punished.  He cannot do anything else, it would be contrary to his nature (unjust).\n\nGod sometimes asks us to do things that don't seem to make sense to teach us things(regarding animal sacrifice).  All God asks is that we turn from our sin and trust in his perfect sacrifice.\n\nYou ask good questions.  It's so boring seeing "how can a good God allow evil?" over and over again.

Anybody know of any natural cures for gout?

Gout is a form of arthritis that developes when there is a build up of uric acid in the blood. When the uric acid levels get high enough, it collects in the joints. The joint that is usually first and most severely affected is the big toe joint. As this uric acid collects in the toe joint, it forms crystals in the shape of a needle. These needle like crystals cause a stabbing pain , sometimes excruciating pain, plus swelling. The affected toe is like an inside out pin cushion. OUCH!!! \n\n95% of the Gout sufferers are men over 30. It is rare, but it does attack women also. Gout is closely related to the foods you eat. The natural approach to Gout would be to change your diet and increase your fluid intake. \n\nThere are foods that cause an increase in uric acid and they should be greatly curtailed from the diet. These foods are: \n\nanchovies, \nasparagus, \nherring, \nmeats & gravies, \nmushrooms, \nmussels, \nsardines, \nand alcoholic beverages, \nfried foods. \nThey should also try to avoid rich cakes and pies. \nSome studies have shown a vitamin deficiency of vitamin B5, vitamin A, and vitamin E contribute to the disease process of Gout. \n\nThere are foods that can neutralize the uric acid, so these can be eaten freely. They are: \napple cider vinegar,\ncherries, \ncherry juice, \ncelery, strawberries \navocados. \nIt is necessary to increase your water intake also as this will help flush the uric acid out. Herbs that help to neutralize the uric acid are alfalfa, burdock, hyssop and juniper. Alfalfa is the stongest of the mentioned herbs and the first choice. There are prescription drugs available from your doctor but please ask about the mild to serious side effects of these drugs.       \n* The information in this article should not replace the advice of your medical practitioner. \n\nLucinda Jenkins is an LPNHC and is the owner of Glenbrook Farms Herbs and Copyright © 2000, Lucinda Jenkins

do girls like guys that are a little chunky?

Sure!  It all depends on the girl.  A chunky guy might have to be more outgoing or funny...I think it can be very difficult and discouraging in middle school or high school (but what isn't during those years?).  I think one of the keys is self confidence.  A guy who is always apologetic or obviously unhappy with himself is hard to be attracted to (especially for me).  \n\nWeight can play a part in attraction, but so does personality.  And in the U.S. most of us are a little chunkier than we should be.  If a guy is unhappy with his weight, there are always things to do.  I won't lie and say it is easy, but if someone really wants to loose weight it can be done.  (I am in Weight Watchers, so I am trying to practice what I preach.)

the plant cell is organized into two major compartments. what are they?

The non-living cell wall surrounds the living protoplast. Within the cell wall the cell membrane encloses the cytoplasm containing organelles (chloroplasts, mitochondria, nucleus, etc.) and a vacuole.\nThe vacuole contains many chemicals dissolved in water. Osmotic pressure within the vacuole squashes the cytoplasm against the cell wall when the cell is turgid to provide shape and support.\nThe two major compartments of the living part of a plant cell are the cytoplasm and the vacuole.

why do women in dating sites put such impossible expections for the guy they r looking 4?

The reason is, after 2 days on a personals site, a women is going to be overwhelm with responses by men. Many will be desperate men. Alot of them will be scum of the earth. If you are a decent guy and meet up to some of the minimum requirements, I would go for it. One word of caution, Don't tryto put on that you are something you are not. It will show up in most cases right there between the lines. No matter what a woman says she is looking for in a man, I can say, without a doubt, the number 1 trait that will get her is honesty.

i am a 17 year old mother and my husbend cheated on me then i cheated on him for payback but i cant get over ?

Your question is a litte incomplete, because you don't say what it is that you can't get over, but..\n\nCheating on someone as "payback" never works, and will always backfire on you.  Your husband wasn't right to cheat on you, but that doesn't make your cheating right.\n\nBeing married and a mother at 17 is difficult enough without getting into more trouble, getting divorced, etc.  If you can find family counseling in your area, it might not be a bad idea for you and your husband to see a professional, and sort out your problems that way.\n\nWishing you the best of luck!

whts the difference between the american government people&american people???

What an interesting question, and so topical.  \n\nThe relationship between the government and the governed is markedly different from place to place and even time to time.  To make it really short, without getting into abstract arguments, a government is a "system of social control under which the right to make laws, and the right to enforce them, is vested in a particular group in society."  In the United States, where the system of government consists of a representative republic, the federal government consists of three branches, two of which, the executive and the legislative, are headed and controled by elected officials as provided for in the Constitution.  However, unlike many other countries, the geography, diversity and history of the United States has resulted in a complex system of laws that can vary widely based on the location in which a person lives.  So while everyone is governed and affected in certain aspects of life similarly by the federal government, one also is affected by the laws of the state in which one lives.  \n\nIt can be complex and I have provided an article on in my sources list for you to read in more detail.\n\n"American people" are a very diverse group comprising almost all races, creeds, and national origins, although the original founders of the government of the United States were primarily of European origin. Mny of the governing concepts and principles were heavily influenced by the classical education of the founding fathers and reflect many philosophical influences and practical issues that were contemporary in the late 18th century from current earlier Scottish, English, and French authors like Locke, Rousseau, Smith, et al.\n\nThe one constant in the American government over the years has been the flexibility of the constitution, which provides the government and its governed the possibility to make necessary changes as time passes in order to change the legal framework in which Americans live while guaranteeing them freedoms which are inmutable.  So while the American people have grown more diverse, their rights are protected by the same instrument that gives them the power to change their elected officials.  Some people like to say that the Government of the United States is "Of the people, for the people and by the people." \n\nHowever, it would be a serious fallacy to associate a vast body of 300 million people with a single government, no matter how it is constituted.  Many policies in the United States are controversial.  For example, the death penalty is supported in only certain states, and not in others.  A man convicted of murder in one state will receive a life sentence, but in another will get an injection of sodium pentathol.   no to try and paint "The American People" with one brush would be a mistake.  \n\nThere are many values that many Americans hold in common.  Many of these are enshrined in the constitution.  Many are unwritten but can be discerned in a short stay in the United States.  As Winston Churchill once famously said "you can count on the Americans to, after they have tried every thing else, to eventually do the right thing."  Eventually, through the system of checks and balances, justice generally prevails (though it can take a long time sometimes) and this is why even when the American Government may be unpopular abroad, millions of people each year seek to immigrate there from less fortunate places.  \n\nDisclaimer: Taking advice seriously from a person using Bubba as a screen name could be hazardous for your health.

Please find a gastroenterologist for an evaluation.  I have heard of many people having to have more than IV antibiotic.  But in some cases that is all that is needed.  Get at least one if not two more opinions.


"Y do guys not let u know y they r mad at u half of the time, when ur in a relationship??"?

As a guy, I can tell you without hesitation that some women have a way of turning something back on you.  If you tell her you're mad about something she has done, hasn't done, etc., you get a load of crap designed to turn it back on you.  Including trying to make you feel guilty for even bringing it up.  Some even try to clear the anger by attempting to inspire sympathy.\n\nThat's just speaking from personal experience.  It's very hard to bring up sensitive issues with some women because it's impossible to carry on a serious, purposeful discussion of the problem without being emotionally manipulated.\n\nJust my opinion.  And please don't think I'm issuing a blanket statement to cover all wome.  That's why I said "some women".

whats the use of cauliflower in the body?

It fills that empty spot in your stomach and through digestive process turns to poop. this creates a market for TP so we have to work and make something else so we can have the funds to buy the TP. All this work makes us hungry so we have to work over time to buy more Cauliflower. All this work makes us tired so now we have to get a second job to buy a bed. All this work wears you out and you are too tired to poop and no longer have room for the Cauliflower. So you drag your tired butt to bed. You are so tired, that you over sleep, so your boss fires you which stresses you out and stress gives you diarrhea. Now you have room for more Cauliflower and yOu are out of TP because of the diarrhea. So you lay down in your bed and cry Why, oh Why, did I ever eat that Cauliflower.

They just released DDR Mario Mix for GC which looks really stupid.  They have another one that's made by mad katz and it is TERRIBLE.  I think you're kind of out of luck.  I might suggest buying an old PS1 and getting DDR Konamix for it.  That's a lot cheaper than buying a ps2 or xbox, and it's actually a good version.

I personally don't know what a dude ranch is but here are some definitions on the web(i learned something new today)\n\na holiday resort offering ranch activities (riding and camping) \nwordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn\n\nThe dude ranch type of ranch oriented towards visitors or tourism. It is a phenomenon of the romanticization of the American West after the official closing of the United States frontier in the late 19th century. The Western adventures of hardy aristocrats like Theodore Roosevelt were made available to paying guests from cities or the East, called "tenderfeet" or "dudes" in the West. ...\nen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dude_ranch\n\nDude Ranch is a Blink-182 album that was released on June 17, 1997 by Cargo Music/MCA. This was Blink-182's second album, containing songs such as "Dammit" and "Josie" that helped the group gain popularity. Other highlights include "Dick Lips", "Voyeur", and "Untitled". On this album the group retains some of its original punk sound as well as Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge's sense of humor. This was their last album with drummer Scott Raynor. \nen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dude_Ranch

which is faster the toyota supra or the mitsubish evolution?

The Evo will be faster, although the last gen Supra has more hp from the factory, the Evo is 400 lbs lighter and can be launched faster all-wheel drive.\n\nHowever, in around town driving the Supra will have better low rpm response because of the larger engine displacement.


why is it that we realize how much we love someone when were not with them, not like when we are with them"

Sometimes when things are too close they get blurry and you can't see them clearly.  But when you take a step back and see the big picture you understand more of what's actually there.


Why do so many people assume a god exists?

It actually seems that a predisposition to believe in god may exist on a genetic level. This idea has been popularized by Dean Hamer, a bigwig at the National Cancer Institute.\n\nI haven't yet read the book, but I'm very curious as I seem to lack whatever genetic component this is.\n\nI certainly can't accept this as proof of a deity, but I'd like to know more about it.


Depending on my realationship with this man depends on how I want him to act. \n\nFirst, you did say cuddling in the movies, so I can only assume that both of us would have to be into each other so I think I would like for a man to be slightly aggressive, to let me know he is just as interested as I am. \n\nI would love a man that asks if everything is cool in regards to the hungry, thirsty, etc. But as far as him asking if Im just ok?, it would depend on if there was really something bothering me. I wouldn't want a guy to just ask it and keep asking when theres nothing wrong with me. Its really cool when he can tell if I am upset or if I'm just in a quiet mood. \n\nI definitely like  the man that can just sit back and kick it. It means that you two are comfortable enough to just hang with each other without all the groping and grunting all the time. It's nice to know you can just relax around someone that you are also romantically interested in. If he can't just relax some days out of the time you are dating and always has to have his hands on you, I dont like that. I mean, a hand on the knee or arm around the shoulder is cool, but I dont want to make out every second of every time we are together. I hope that answers your question lol.

What is meant by a free group on a set X?

Say X is a simple set with two elements, X={x,y}.  Then the free group on X is just all words using x,y,x^, and y^ with the rule that xx^=x^x=yy^=y^y=empty word.  The empty word is the identity.  Basically, it is the most general group generate by two elements.\n\nThis can be stated more formally by saying that Free(X), the free group on X, has a map i:X->Free(X) and the following property:\n\n   For every f:X->G, where G is a group, there exists a\n   unique group homomorphism F: Free(X)->G so that\n   f = F composed with i\n\nIn other words, Free(X) is somehow a universal case of a group containing X.\n\nThis can be generalized in lots of other areas. In Category Theory, Free is an 'adjoint functor' of the forgetful functor from Groups to Sets.  'Adjoint functors' arise in lots of interesting places, and this is one of the first ones you'll learn.


This question, "What is the meaning and purpose of life?" has the same answer that I am now giving you.\n\nThe meaning and purpose of life is to be happy by also making others happy in the best way possible, but that means by doing the right thing. Sometimes people are not happy because of what is going on in their families and what is going on around them, but just by giving love to the people that surround us and seeing them be happy is enough for me. Sure I am sad at many times and there are a lot of times when I think people don't love me, but I just want to see a better world someday. I think everyone has a purpose in life, for example a teacher's purpose is to teach, Mother Theresa's purpose was to help the poor, it really depends on what you find makes you and others happy. Everyone has a purpose in life, it's just that sometimes it may take longer for some people to find what their purpose is. If you have not found your purpose, keep looking, don't give up, there's a purpose out there for you. ;0)

Who is your favorite president of all time and why?

Probably George Washington.  He inhereted a country that was pretty much going to Hell in a handbasket and set it on the path to become what would become arguably the greatest country in the history of mankind.  I don't think George Bush, Bill Clinton or George Bush Sr. should be listed as answers here because insufficient time has really passed for their legacies (and the full consequences of their decisions) to be assessed.


At what point is it too late to say sorry?

It's never too late. The only thing that changes is the expected outcome. When you say "sorry" right away, you're typically looking to fix or renew a relationship with the other person. But eventually there is a point where it's in the past and can't be renewed. At that point, the purpose might be more for you than for them, to help you let go, ahieve closure, and assuage guilt.\n\nDr. Barb Nefer, http://www.bnlifeskills.com


can you tell if your girlfriend has had sex with someone other than you,and how?

I think you need to ask yourself if she is the type of person who would do that. Then determine if your sex life with her has changed. Is it less frequent? Is it not as satisfying? If she is the type that would cheat or has in the past, then chances are she has or will. If she isn't and there is significant change in your sex life, then you need to discuss your reason for asking this question with her. Like other have stated, her eyes will tell you the answer.

Does anybody know a good cure for depression?

I am not sure if cure is the proper word.\n\nTreatment is a better choice.\n\nbelive it or not, exercise. Even just getting out and walking. But in many cases, increased levels of chemicals produced when exercising are enough to help mild cases of depression and help make more severe cases more treatable with medication.\n\nAs for herbs and such, non have been proven to work. Many have claims that they help - For example, St. Johns Wort, but this has notbeen clinically established. You would be better off with exercise.\n\nDepression is a serious illness. You should make some time and seek medical attention. Even if you choose not to go on prescription medicine, you should make sure the depression is not part of another pysical problem. There are some hormonal imbalances that cause depression and they are really medical cases and not true depression.\n\nGood luck.

Observationally meteoroid s enter the Earth's atmosphere at speeds between 11 to 72 km per second (7 to 45 miles per second).\n\nThe speed depends on a couple of things: is the meteor coming from behind the Earth, that is along the same direction as the Earth is orbiting the Sun, or from the front, where it is heading in the opposite direction that the Earth is going. The second possibily gives a more head-on collision, which will have the higher speed on impact.\n\nOf course the inclination of the meteors orbit will effect this as well.\n\nAs the meteor falls into Earth's gravitational attraction it will be sped up by about 3 km / second, regardless of what direction it is coming from.\n\nWhile in theory a meteor can approach at virtually any speed, from 3 mph to half the speed of light, in practice they tend to fall with orbital speeds roughly the same magnitude as the Earth.


how do you share a wireless internet with a lap top and a home PC, with the lap top being used in travel?

You need to have a router. Linksys is a good one. It's easy set up. And also if your laptop does not come with a built in wi-fi, you will need a card to connect to your router.

Why have writers started using  "And" to start sentences?

Collective inertia towards innovation. What is a widely used mistake today is the standard tomorrow. Try to worry more about the quality of the writing than the attention to grammatical "rules."


Will a time come when we could live in mars?

It depends what you understand by "living".  If you mean astronauts in space suits and living quarters in enclosed structures I think yes, someday we will - given enough funds and motivation (perhaps a space race to Mars with the Chinese?!?).  \nHowever, if by 'living' you mean just the way you and I do on Earth, then that's another story.  Many believe that the martian atmosphere was once habitable - complete with vital liquid water, but a runaway greenhouse effect has plunged Mars into a cold winter in which liquid water cannot be found.  There are some who believe we can send plant like micro-organisms which will absorb CO2 and give out O2. In time this should make the Mars habitable once more. However, such a prospect is a bit far fetched, given the expenses and the fact that such a process will take centuries if not millenia to 'clean up' the martian atmosphere.  Moreover, it is more biologically probable that these micro-organisms evolve into a new kind of cell which adapts itself to its enviroment rather than change it.\nSo, until man finds a way to breathe and survive in the martian atmosphere, our stay there will be limited to space suits and living quarters.

free listings of  land management/gov listings/county listings for buying propertys and foreclosers or repos?

The most effective way to get these listings is to contact your local mortgage broker.  He, in turn, will contact his lenders or title insurance rep. to get him those lists.  In my area, there aren't many HUD repos as prices have exceeded their lending amounts.  Here is a site that lists some:  http://www.hudpemco.com/


Think of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. Just keep in mind...what's your expertise? What are your interests? What could you imagine yourself doing?\n\nThen, once you have some ideas, research, research, research. Check out the competition -- their business practices, pricing, customer service, etc. And also think about what you could offer to set yourself apart from these other companies.\n\nCheck the sources for some handy sites.\n\nPrior to investing your time, money & effort into a business name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available. \n\nThis entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. \n\nResearch is needed to make sure your trade name is legally available, before opening, before expansion, before incorporation or before designing your logo. Similarities in sound, appearance and meaning affect you too!\n\nThere are 16+ million trade names in use in the United States. Similar names matter, if close in sound, appearance or meaning. Similar names in related classes, distribution channels and customer matter too. You are affected by Common Law use (14 million), State Trademarks (500,000) and Federal Trademarks (2 million).


The word "schizophrenia" is simply a label used to categorise a list of psychosocial traits that Psychiatry considers to be improper or abnormal in society. Psychiatry defines these traits as a "mental illness", and promotes it as a "disease" that requires "treatment".\n\nIt is not a "disease", despite claims made in certain peoples answers here. There is NO credible scientific evidence that shows the existence of what constitutes "schizophrenia" as a biological/neurological disorder, brain abnormality or "chemical imbalance".\n\n"For a disease to exist there must be a tangible, objective physical abnormality that can be determined by a test such as, but not limited to, blood or urine test, X-Ray, brain scan or biopsy. All reputable doctors would agree: No physical abnormality, no disease. In psychiatry, no test or brain scan exists to prove that a 'mental disorder' is a physical disease. Disingenuous comparisons between physical and mental illness and medicine are simply part of psychiatry's orchestrated but fraudulent public relations and marketing campaign." Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD (Neurologist, Pediatric Neurology), & Fellow at the American Academy of Neurology.\n\n"Chemical imbalance…it’s a shorthand term really, it’s probably drug industry derived… We don’t have tests because to do it, you’d probably have to take a chunk of brain out of someone - not a good idea." Dr. Mark Graff, Chair of the Committee of Public Affairs for the American Psychiatric Association. July, 2005.\n\nSymptoms that psychiatry labels as "schizophrenia" (or it's related disorders), can stem from any number of variable sources. Many people have overcome disorders such as "bipolar" and "schizophrenia" through effective megavitamin therapy and effective nutrition. A growing wealth of evidence supports that underlying nutritional deficiencies can cause even the most severe mental disorders, including "schizophrenia". [1,2,3,4,5,6] \n\nYou may also be interested to know that the work undertaken by pioneers such as Dr. Lars Martensson and the late Dr. Loren Mosher show that there is also another way - far safer and more effective than psychiatric restraint, drugs and electro-shocks. For over a decade Loren R Mosher, MD, held a central position in American psychiatric research. He was the first Chief of the Center for Studies of Schizophrenia at the National Institute of Mental Health, 1969-1980. He founded the Schizophrenia Bulletin and for ten years he was its Editor-in-Chief. He also led the Soteria Project, which demonstrated that effective rehabilitation is possible without harmful antipsychotic drugs. Soteria provided a safe and sane environment where schizophrenic patients could stay, medication-free, with a young, nonprofessional staff trained to listen to and understand them and provide companionship. The idea was that schizophrenia can often be overcome with the help of meaningful relationships, rather than with drugs, and that such treatment would eventually lead to unquestionably healthier lives. The results were fantastic. Over just 6 weeks, patients recovered as quickly as those treated with medication in hospitals. [7,8] \n\nBottom line? Psychiatry is a belief-system, a "faith", not a science. Despite the huge marketing strategies, the so-called "research" and all the propaganda thrown at the world, there is not one iota of scientific evidence that proves that "schizophrenia" or ANY mental illness, in fact, exists as an actual --medical disease--.\n\nIf you have been told differently then know this: You have been lied to.\n\nFor more information, please visit:\n\nhttp://groups.msn.com/psychbusters\nDecoding Psychiatric Propaganda\n\nSee also http://www.alternativementalhealth.com/articles/default.htm#S


what were Jackson's arguments for the removal of Native Americans to uninhabited lands in the west?

If you have the desire, then you have what it takes.  Don't be scared by the taking orders because you'll learn that you have a choice.  You'll pick up on what's involved in advancement and how you can move through the ranks and get ahead of those who may actually be lame.  I'm not talking about moving up the ranks by doing indecent acts, but just applying yourself and displaying the army values, Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal courage.  If you incorporate these values, you'll be ahead of the game and you'll do fine.  Excel in every aspect that you can, score a 300 or above on the physical fitness test, achieve an expert marksman badge, complete correspondence courses and take college courses.  About an earlier comment, tuition reimbursment isn't a bonus, the military already pays 100% of your tuition while you're on active duty.  You just have to pay  for the books.  So take advantage of that program.  \n\nThe military isn't about taking orders.  It's about working as a team to accomplish your mission.  It's about following the instructions and guidance from your leaders.  Yes, you'll have some very bad leaders and at that point, you can stand up and suggest alternatives and work the chain of command to your advantage.  There are the proper ways to do things and then there's the defiant way to do things, which will only land you in trouble and eventually out the door.\n\nOh, it's a two mile run by the way.  See if a recruiter could give you a APFT card and check the score chart.  Work on reaching the max amount of push ups, sit ups and two mile run.  This will help in the long run, for a promotion to E-5.  I earned E-5 in less than three years and was barely 21 when I was leading soldiers.


Is it true that the Jewish and Christian belief in the resurrection of the body originated with Zoroasterism?

Yes, this is true.  Zarathustra (erroneously called Zoroaster) lived 9000 years ago in Persia.  Buddhist and Judeo-Christian religions are said to be made up chiefly from the history and miracles of Zarathustra.\n\nWhen he appeared before his followers on the night following the day that he was hanged and then fed to lions:\n\nAnd he spake, saying:  Fear not; I am the same that was with you and was hanged and died, whose flesh was devoured by the lions; I am Zarathustra!  Marvel not that I have the semblance of a corporeal body, for its substance is holden together by the power of my spirit.  Neither is this a miracle, for the spirits of all the living hold in the same way, each its own corporeal body.  As iron attracteth iron, the spirit learneth to attract from the air a corporeal body of its like and measure.

The World Social Forum (WSF) is an annual meeting held by members of the alternative globalization movement to coordinate world campaigns, share and refine organizing strategies, and inform each other about movements from around the world and their issues. It tends to meet in January when its "great capitalist rival", the World Economic Forum is meeting in Davos, Switzerland.\n\nThe WSF has prompted the organising of many regional social forums, including the European Social Forum, the Asian Social Forum and the Boston Social Forum. All social forums adhere to the WSF Charter of Principles drawn up by the World Social Forum.\n\nIn 2006 the WSF will be held simultaneously in different cities around the world, including Caracas, Venezuela; Bamako, Mali; and Karachi, Pakistan. In 2007 it will be held in Africa.\n\nEl Foro Social Mundial (FSM) es un encuentro anual que llevan a cabo miembros del movimiento por una globalización alternativa, para coordinar campañas mundiales, compartir y refinar las estrategias de organización, y para informarse unos a otros sobre los movimientos que hay en marcha en todo el mundo.\n\nEl primer FSM fue organizado por la Asociación Francesa para la Tasación de las Transacciones Financieras para la Ayuda al Ciudadano (ATTAC) y el Partido de los Trabajadores de Brasil (PT). Se llevó a cabo del 25 al 30 de enero de 2001 en Porto Alegre, Brasil, una de las plazas fuertes del PT. Acudieron 12.000 asistentes de todo el mundo.\n\nAl segundo FSM, también en Porto Alegre, del 31 de enero al 5 de febrero de 2002 acudieron más de 12.000 delegados oficiales, representando a gente de 123 países y 60.000 asistentes. Se llevaron a cabo 652 talleres y 27 conferencias. Un conferenciante célebre fue el disidente estadounidense Noam Chomsky.\n\nEl tercer FSM fue celebrado nuevamente en Porto Alegre, en enero de 2003. Hubo muchos talleres en paralelo, incluyendo, por ejemplo, el taller "La vida tras el capitalismo", que proponía una discusión enfocada a las posibilidades participativas, no-comunistas, no-capitalistas de diferentes aspectos de las estructuras sociales, políticas, económicas y de comunicación [1].\n\nEl cuarto FSM se llevó a cabo en Mumbai, India, del 16 al 21 de enero de 2004. La asistencia fue superior a las 75.000 personas que se esperaban. La diversidad cultural fue un aspecto notable del forum. Otra decisión notable fue la de utilizar software libre, que se llevó a cabo con la ayuda de voluntarios de la Free Software Foundation. Uno de los conferenciantes clave fue Joseph Stiglitz.\n\nLa quinta edición de este evento, que se lleva a cabo en Porto Alegre, comenzó el 26 de enero de 2005.\n\nEl FSM ha promovido la organización de muchos foros sociales regionales, incluyendo el Foro Social Europeo, el Foro Social Asiático y el Foro Educacional Europeo.\n\nLa sexta edición, se lleva a cabo en Venezuela, del 24 al 29 de enero de 2006.

what is the phone number to access a sprint voicemail system without using your cellphone?

I don't have Sprint, but I'm certain it works the same way as it does for Verizon.  I just call my own cell phone number and press pound when the greeting begins.  Then I enter my four-digit PIN.  It works much faster if you power off your phone before dialing.  I hope this helps.

Apt. mgrs. daughter (lives below me)filed a bogus formal complaint against me about noise level, respond? how?

Practically speaking, there is probably not much you can do.  We once had the opposite problem.  A friend of the manager moved into the apartment below us.  He let 5 guys crash there whenever they wanted and he "tested" his dj equipment constantly.  We had to move.


Which is more correct (if any) to express that a backlog has been finished? It was worket up or off?

I can confirm that in the US, "worked off" is the preferred term, because the backlog can be removed, or taken -off- a production schedule (that's SKe-jool here, or SHe-jool in the UK ;) ).


What is the average wieght of an elephant?

An approximately 20-year-old Asian elephant cow weighs 3500 - 4500 kg on average, and measures around 2.6 metres at the back. An elephant bull weighs about 5000 - 6500 kg and measures around 3 metres at the back.\n\nAfrican elephants are larger and weigh more. An elephant cow measuring around 3 metres at the shoulders will weigh around 4000 - 5000 kg.\n\nAn African elephant bull, however, weighs around 6000 - 7000 kg and measures around 3.2 metres at the shoulders.

How should I handle a fellow grandmother jealously toward me?

Grin and bear it.  Anything else gets you in a contest.\n\nIf you feel you can, try talking to her on her level. Or have a meeting with you, her and your kid and spouse.  It's no good for the grandchild.  I went through that and grew up resenting the one who was always jealous.


A linear motor is essentially an electric motor that has been "unrolled" so that instead of producing a torque (rotation), it produces a linear force along its length by setting up a traveling electromagnetic field.\n\nLinear motors are most commonly induction motors or stepper motors. You can find a linear motor in a maglev (Transrapid) train, where the train "flies" over the ground.

what PT rehab best fit for a 16yr old girl with a severe scoliosis, 46 degrees angulation?

Unfortunatley, with my experience working in a physical therapy clinic, all patients with greater than 40 degrees curvature were candidates for surgical repair. there are many limits within physical therapy when it deals with scoliosis, because it's a condition that really can't get better, only be prevented from getting worse. hope this helps!


Can a couple represented by a realtor buy a home from a Sale by owner person?Does seller have to pay realtor?

Look at your agreement.  \n\nI believe that if YOU are the one that FOUND that house it is your right to go through the whole deal with just your attorney and the seller.  \n\nGood luck to you.  I sold 2 houses and bought 3 with out any realeste agents!  So it is possible to do.   \n\nOur first sell - we were insecure and signed with an agent and the deal was that if we sold it on our own we wouldn't owe them a penny.  So we did it.  This may be the case with you... Kind of like you are both out there pounding the pavement.  They are looking for you and YOU are looking for you. Who ever finds the house that you want - will get the credit for it.  If you found it on your own then you get the credit for it - they shouldn't have any right to that sale unless you want them to and give them that power.  \n\nGood luck - look at the contract you signed with them.

Semen and other bodily fluids besides blood do contain HIV in infected individuals.  These include but are not limited to:  bulbourethral secretions (pre-cum), semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. In order to be infected the virus must enter the blood but it can do this easily through microscopic tears in the mucous membranes in contact with the infected fluid.  Also there is a specific receptor in the rectal epithelia that HIV binds to and enters the system.

I love my teacher very much.She is the best.Have you had similar teachers ?Tell me about it. How old are you?

I had a teacher who changed my way of thinking. Mr. Nasser was my Jr. year American history teacher. He taught us that history wasn't simply dates and places, but it was people like us making decisions that impacted the rest of the world. He introduced me to critical analysis and allowed us to question everything. Because of him and other teachers I had I studied history in college and got a graduate degree in education. I hope to have my own classroom next year so I can maybe do the same for a student like he did for me.


Do you think Black guys and Blonde chicks should date?

What business is it of anyone's to say who can date who? You cannot help who you fall in love with. By labeling them as "black guys" and "blonde chicks" you only put yourself out to be prejudiced. We are all human. No one should be judged by their color (skin or hair). As long as their intentions are pure who am I to say that they can or cannot date? If they are in love then I say, "Good for them and to hell with the rest." And to those who think interacial relationships are a sin. Joseph (the Bible) married a priestess of On who was black. They had two sons, Ephraim and Mannaseh, which became two of the tribes of Israel. Skin color is an adaptation to climate not an indication of quality. It allows them to withstand the radiation from the sun. If you don't believe me then look it up. Evolution occurs regardless of what anyone says and I am a creationist.


Has anyone seen my shoe? The left one? Been looking all day.?

Most teachers will reward you for simply doing your work and doing it on time. Paying attention and understanding what the teacher expects is probably the most important key to getting good grades. When you don't understand, ask for help. Most teachers tend to give better grades to the students they know are really trying and want to help you. There is no secret, read your books, do your homework, and ask questions.

That is relative, I've done more things in my life than most people are willing to believe. By my standards, were I to tell someone to get a life, it would involve lofty goals. In my opinion, because of my background, I think that it is a phrase meant to offend rather than to be taken literally, in that case whoever told you that, you tell them I am telling them to get a life.

Role of Software technology in Modern India?

Its a very big revolution both interms of development and also wealth.\n\nAll the western nations have grown by using industrial technology, that resulted in lots of pollution. For a Nation like India its very difficult to afford such development. So software industry not only saves so many resources, but does not have any bad consequences for future.\n\nIndia must now start to take more responsibility interms if overall productivity and system level software production. There are handful of companies that make system level software, and other factor being that it will be very very difficult for Indian management to take over the US management teams. US is best at its management in technology areas and marketing in any area keeping aside the fact that their programars are also technically sound enough to develop state of the art technology. So we have to appreciate that facts and look into future. Good thing being that the curve in all development/technology areas in India is concerning enough for the western world. And not so great thing being that US once had a great potential for education. 30 years ago it was on top of everything in technology and eduction and its growth rate was 10 times compared to other developed nations like france and germany. Now it stands far below Germany. And India has a growth rate of highest right now in the world.\n\nSo we have to play right moves to go into future with both calling our nation a technology nation and also a developed nation.

Why is intentional grounding only called while in the pocket?

The philosopy is to protect the QB's since the "in the grasp" business from years ago was silly.\n\nI think the recitation of the rule above isn't quite right in most cases.  Outside the tackles there is no grounding so long as the pass gets past the line of scrimmage -- doesn't matter if it's in bounds, out of bounds, or whether there's a receiver nearby etc.


Do you belive that Euthanasia should be legalised and why?

i wish it were legal. If a person wants to die, then why not? dont tell me " life is beautiful, it has its ups and downs, keep ur chin up" or anything like that, i say if ur uhmmm maybe 23 and over then u can decide for yourself. and at least this way u r not getting anyone else involved where they may be harmed like throwing urself into traffic, setting a fire, jumping off a building. we have a surplus population anyway. it should be a persons choice. im not suicidal by the way lol..and dont mean only when they have some illness, if someone wants to die, let them. and dont tell me its agianst religion, the person who wants to die doesnt care obviously, its not there religion or they have given up on it. and dont say that u hurt the ppl u leave behind, the person that wants to die is hurting obviously so he needs to think about himself first. he has kids? well hes not gonna be a good father anyway if he wants to be dead, kids wil be better off....wow hey where is this debate, i want to check it out lol. good luck

Like other forms of popular music, country music is sectional - it is built into:\n\nVerses: the narrative part of the song, where you tell the song's story, introducing and then expanding on the people the song is talking about.\n\nRefrain: a kind of "bridge" between verse and chorus, where the song ties the "story" of the verse, with the "hook" of the chorus. More on the hook in the moment. The words of the refrain will change each time, but might poetically echo one another.\n\nChorus: this is where you use "the hook." Country relies on this more than other music forms. The hook consists of a catchy or memorable phrase designed to be the centerpiece of the song. The words of the chorus tend to be the same each time around. Think Dwight Yoakam's "Little Sister" or Alan Jackson's "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere."


What factors truly determine the value of a house?

The previous answer seems correct; however, it can be expanded upon.  2 houses may be of the same floor plan, built the same year, but one may be located on the cul-de-sac or on a corner/intersection of the same street, which increases it's value.  The higher valued home might have a 2-car, instead of single car garage.  It might have better parking, or a pool, or fencing or enhanced landscaping.  It may have had upgraded roofing or siding. Perhaps upgraded insulation has been installed in the attic or in windows, etc.  It might also have an upgraded kitchen or bathroom(s).  If both homes were designed and built with basic linoleum flooring, but one was upgraded to tile, hardwood etc., the value would increase.  Even the installation of skylights and energy efficient appliances/systems would be cause for greater value.  'Hope that helps! ~MJULE

Anyone know what requirements(classwise) you need when you are a Special Ed. Major? My advisor is no help!!!?

Well first you would need to get a college catalog and look up the requirements... or you can go to the department and seed if they have a breakdown of what is required. Sometimes advisors are not much help because they don’t really read the catalogs themselves... I would try to buy a catalog ( oh make sure its from the year you declared your major because some changes that happen may not be required for you) and then contact the dept  directly and see if they have an advisor there... have them help. What school do you go to... I am a college grad... my major was education. If you have any more questions... you can email me at ksk108@yahoo.com and just put something in the subject line so I will know its you!!\nGood luck... Also, if you give me the name of your school I may be able to find the catalog online.

Yes, you can- but it takes patience and a clear sky or planning.  A very interesting form of sattelite watching are "Flares" from the Iridium satellite fleet.  These satellites have mirrors which occasionally reflect the sun's light to earth. \nhttp://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap980402.html\nTo find out when are where to catch one of these flares, go to this site:\nhttp://www.heavens-above.com/\n\nFor a more traditional satellite viewing experience, try starting out looking for the international space station.  NASA has a good site that lets you know when and where to look for it:\nhttp://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/


If you look at the lineup on the field, there's 11 players on the field for each side.  However, if you add both the offensive starters and the defensive starters, that's 22 players total.  But then you have to factor in their backups, in case of injury, suspensions, etc., etc.\n\nSo it states that NFL teams can have and usually DO have up to 53 players on their side.  That's a lotta people!


Do you believe that past theories about science is being disproven by modern discoveries?

Well yes and no, Albert Ensitie composed a theory "The Theory of Unification" that his theory of reltavity and Electro Magatism could co-exist in ont theory this was in the 1930s. Now there might be something Enstine never thought of, tiny string inside quarks that could explain the entire universe in a single equation The Theory Of Everything. Later in the 1940s quantime mech where discorvered. This was much stronger than gravity and in which consists the strong force and the weak force, The strong holds the atom thogther and the weak lets protrons and newtrons attach to is leaving off radition a sit dose so. But every time we try to put Quantime mech and The Theory of reltavity, nothing makes is reasonable. Thats where string theory comes in, that this might link Quantime mech and Reltivity. So no the Theory is not being disproven but proven.


how do i get my site listed on the first page with google and yahoo? on the left side of google, not the right

There is no "name" tag. If you are referring to HTML tags, it's the title tag you should be concerned with, but that's not all...\n\nIf you want your web site to rank high in Google search results do this:\n1. Jot down all the words or phrases that you would expect people searching for your web site to type into the search box.\n2. Write clean, informative content or edit your existing content to include some of those keywords in context.\n3. Add/edit your TITLE tag text to include some of those keywords as well, but don't just make a list. It should read plainly. Example:  \n\nMy Web Site - Information about keyword and key phrase for keyword\n\n4. Look for other web sites similar to your own and ask them to add a link to you on their site. Maybe in return you can tell them you will add a link on your site.\n5. Keep repeating and adjusting 1-4 constantly until your search rankings improve for the words and phrases you came up with.\n\nAnd, if all you're concerned about is Google and Yahoo don't bother with META tags.


What is the value of d if (2x - 3) is a factor of: 6x-squared + dx - 12?

6x^2 + dx - 12 would need to factor into two binomials.  If you know that one is (2x - 3), then the first term of the other would have to be 3x, in order to make the 6x^2 term.  In order to get -12 as the constant term, we would multiply -3 x +4.  \n\nSo the other factor is (3x + 4)\n\nUsing the FOIL method for multiplying two binomials, we get\n(3x + 4)(2x - 3) \n= 6x^2 - 9x + 8x - 12\n= 6x^2 - x - 12\nSo d must be -1.

in buddahism - does one pray to only Buddah or to other Gods too?

buddah is not really a god as we think of god.  buddah was more of a teacher and there were many buddahs ( about fifteen i think ).  to become a buddah one must achieve enlightnment through daharma.  this is kind of like a process to be one with the universe in all its history and future.  to be part of everything and everything be part of you is a simple way of thinking of it.  look to buddah in wikipedia encyclopedia for a better idea of the buddahs past and future.  pray to yourself, for you are the everything and vice versa including buddah.


how do I make my windows 98se's windows media player 9 to play DVD movies?

I don't know the exact solution to your problem but I have a suggestion.\nYou can download VLC media player from the address given below :\n\nhttp://www.videolan.org/\n\nThis is a great player. The program supports playback of OGG, MP2, MP3, MP4, DivX, DVD, and a whole slew of other file types. It aquires little disc space & can play even corrupted files.\n\nIts only drawback is that its interface is a bit too plain. But, that's fine with me. I highly recommend it.


Charles Christopher "Bird" Parker, Jr. (August 29, 1920 – March 12, 1955) was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. Early in his career Parker was dubbed Yardbird; this was later shortened to 'Bird' and remained Parker's nickname for the rest of his life and inspiration for the titles of his works e.g. Yardbird Suite.\n\nParker is commonly considered one of the greatest jazz musicians. In terms of influence and impact, his contribution to jazz was so great that Charles Mingus commented that if Bird were alive today, he would think he was living in a hall of mirrors. Bird's talent is compared almost without argument to such legendary musicians as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, and his reputation and legend as one of the best saxophonists is such that some critics say he was unsurpassed; jazz critic Scott Yanow speaks for many jazz fans and musicians when he suggests that "Parker was arguably the greatest saxophonist of all time."[1]\n\nA founding figure of bebop, Parker's innovative approach to melody, rhythm and harmony have exerted an incalculable influence on jazz. Several of Parker's songs have become standards of the repertoire, and innumerable musicians have studied Parker's music and absorbed elements of his style.\n\nParker became an icon for the Beat generation, and was a pivotal figure in the evolving conception of the jazz musician as an uncompromising artist and intellectual, rather than just a popular entertainer. At various times, Parker fused jazz with other musical styles, from classical (seeking to study with Edgard Varese and Stefan Wolpe) to Latin music (recordings with Machito), blazing paths followed later by others.\n\nBiography\n[edit]\nEarly Life and Career\nCharlie Parker was born in Kansas City, Kansas and raised in Kansas City, Missouri. He was the only child of Charles and Addie Parker. There is no evidence that Parker showed unusual musical talent as a child. As a small boy (possibly 3-4 years old), he may have sung in the church choir. Parker's father presumably provided some musical influence; he was a pianist, dancer and singer on the T.O.B.A. circuit, although he later became a Pullman waiter or chef on the railways.\n\nParker began playing the saxophone at age 15 with his school's band. Groups led by Count Basie and Bennie Moten were the leading Kansas City ensembles, and doubtlessly influenced Parker. He continued to play with local bands in jazz clubs around Kansas City, Missouri, where he perfected his technique with the assistance of Buster Smith, whose dynamic transitions to double and triple time certainly influenced Parker's developing style. In 1938 Parker joined pianist Jay McShann's territory band [2], and was able to tour with him to the nightclubs and other venues of the southwest region of the USA, as well as Chicago and New York City [3][4]. Parker made his recording debut with McShann's band.\n\n[edit]\nIn New York City\nIn 1939, Parker moved to New York City. He pursued a career in music, but held several other jobs as well. One of these was as bus-boy (dishwasher) in a restaurant where famous pianist Art Tatum was playing at the time. (Parker's later playing was in some ways reminiscent of Tatum's, with dazzling, high-speed arpeggios and sophisticated use of harmony.)\n\nIn 1942 Parker left McShann's band and played with Earl Hines for eight months. The early history of bebop is difficult to document because of a strike by the American Federation of Musicians which meant that there were no official recordings in most of 1942 and 1943. Nevertheless we know that Parker was one of a group of young musicians who congregated in after-hours clubs in Harlem such as Minton's and Monroe's. These young iconoclasts included trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, pianist Thelonious Monk, guitarist Charlie Christian and drummers Max Roach and Kenny 'Klook' Clarke. It was Monk who summed up their

I want to pursue a career in forensic science or DNA testing etc. But i have no idea what to sign up for !?

I think that you will find that if you want to do forensic science that you will have to have at least some chemistry. Much of what you do as a forensic scientist is chemical analysis, so that is important. It involves a great deal of biology, as well.\n\nMy sense is that you should major in biology, or at least minor in it. Do you have access to a biological anthropology (or medical anthropology) degree program? That will give you some more biology, as well as understanding bones, bodies and things like that.

why do men choose not to show their emotions?

men are, for lack of a better word, programmed by their male figure in their lives not to deal with certain emotions. If they do, more often than not, they find out at an early age that they will be labled with such words as,"queer", "fag", or other various labels. now to save face i want people to know that i DO NOT in anyway condone these words.\nall that us women can do is learn to cope with how MOST men are and hope that one day you will find yourself in a comfort zone with a man and find what he is REALLY thinking.


how do i make up with my fiance after a major quarrel?

It's great that you want to make up with her.  That's half the battle already.  Here's some ideas.\n\n1.  Apoligize for what you did wrong:  Whatever you said or did, take responsability for it.  Be specific.  Don't apologize for "hurting her feelings," but apoligize for what you personally did or said.\n\n2.  Be positive and encouraging.  Don't blame her.\n\n3.  Forgive her whatever she did, whether she apologizes or not.\n\n4.  Do something fun together.  When a relationship has been damaged by a painful experience, something special is needed to heal the wound.\n\nHope these ideas are useful.
