Baseball Origin Controversy \n\n\nBased on old American fokelore, baseball's storied invention was by a young West Point cadet named Abner Doubleday. In the summer of 1839, in Cooperstown, New York, Doubleday supposedly started the game of baseball. Because of numerous types of baseball, or rather games similar to it, the orgian of the game has been disputed for decades by sports historians all over the world. In 1839, in Cooperstown, New York, Doubleday supposedly started the game of baseball. Doubleday, also a famous Union general during the Civil War, was said to be the inventor of baseball by Abner Graves, an elderly minor from New York. In response to the question of where baseball first originated, major leage owners summoned a committee in 1907. Abner Graves stepped before the committe and gave his testimony. In Graves' account of "the first game," the Otsego Academy and Cooperstown's Green's Select School played against ne another in 1839. Committeemean Alber G. Spalding, the founder of Spalding's Sporting Goods, favored Graves' declaration and convinced the other committeemen that Grave's account was true. As a result, in 1939, the commitee and the State of New York named Cooperstown and Abner Doubleday as the birthplace and the inventor.


Million Billion Trillion.... how high can you go?

What you are asking is what is the highest number (short of infinity) that has a name?\n\nThe answer to that is a googolplex, which is 1 followed by a googol of zeros (a googol is 10^100\n\nBut in terms of the names that end in -illlion (the system developed by the French mathematician Nicholas Chuquet, 1445-1488, in the late 15th Century) the biggest I know is vigintillion, which is is 10^120 on the English (long) scale and 10^63 on the American (short) scale.\n\nVigintillion embodies the French word vingt for twenty reflecting the fact that a Frenchman devised the system.\n\nBRITISH SCALE\n\n1 million = 10^6\n1 billion = 10^12\n1 trillion = 10^18\n1 quadrillion = 10^24\n1 quintillion = 10^30\n1 sextillion = 10^36\n1 septillion = 10^42\n1 octillion = 10^48\n1 nonillion = 10^54\n\nCarrying on further, we have \n\ndecillion\nundecillion\nduodecillion \ntredecillion\nquattuordecillion \nquindecillion\nsexdecillion \nseptendecillion\noctodecillion \nnovemdecillion\nvigintillion


In your browser's address bar type ftp://canadathebest.com (notice no http:// and no www). You can also open the command line and type ftp canadathebest.com (notice no ://) but I tried and the FTP does not respond on that site-- make sure it is installed, and that the service or daemon is running and everything is configured properly. By default most servers have this turned off.  You also need ports 21 open on your firewall, or you need to specify the port if you want to use a different port (more secure that way) as ftp://canadathebest.com:8021 or whatever port you select.

dose a mans size matter or is it about love?

Size matters some, but it's way overrated. Love is more important.


You are not worthy of my Love you little Pervert.


I have a boutique in Geneva. what kind of Jeans brans do u think can I sell to have a great success?

Lucky brand is really hot on guys or girls, they are also moderately expensive, I've always paid $80 at least for them.


It is hard to explain. Well i hope you know the numbers and how to count. Now raise ONE finger from your left hand ( yes if you want to you can use your middle finger). THen raise ONE from your right hand. Having done this, count them. You will see that there are 2 fingers raised and Not 3 fingers \n\nBy the way how old are you??.


Why are so many mormans on welfare,Why wont their wives work instead of having kids as an excuse not to work ?

I totally agree with you- they should make some sort of rules or make the wife's have a damn good reason about the getting pregant to begin with- pregnancy is not a mistake and baby's arn't exactly cheap or a pet. I give people credit- they are definatly not stupid enough to not know what birth control and condoms are, they are getting pregant for a reason because most of them have like 3 or 4 kids. I mean how can you have 3 or 4 kids by mistake? You'd think they'd learn the first time, but then again I guess the more kids they pop out the more they get from welfare. I know someone who uses her kids as an excuse not to get a job, go to college or even to get her liscence~! I don't know why she claims she cares about those kids if she can't even drive them to the ER if something happens to them!  But yet she can get married- I was about to ask her how she can A) afford it and B) how can you? remember you have kids? She wanted me to help with some of the expenses too- and I don't think that is my place. I totally argree with you on that 100% and I think the government understands there's ALOT of cases of this happening- so why won't they enforce some rules? But then again- it's like asking to bring our gas prices down again. America Land of the Free.


As mentioned above, a scanner can be used for putting a picture or text onto your computer. If you haven't seen one, they mostly look like very small copy machines(with the glass window where the object is placed). I doubt you are referring to the radio scanner, but they are devices that scan through a set of frequencies you enter, so that you can hear the police ar other emergency workers talking over their radios.

my friend got a bf right the bf is 40 and she is 18?

Well, your friend must be more mature than her age and she doesnt want a guy whom she has to correct all the while but a guy who can correct her and tell her when she is wrong, a guy who can take care of her, who is experienced enough to know how to take care of an 18 year old girl's emotions and feelings. We women we love to be protected than to protect men ! We want to be taken care of, we want to feel great. You think a 20 or so year old guy can do it? He can't even take care of himself and he needs someone to do it for him. Now you put yourself in her shoes and you will get the best answer...! All the best !!\nBut i'll tell u something i'm also 18 and my boyfriend is 35 and married. That's why i could answer your question properly...!


Should I complete a 2006 Census Test which was mailed to my home?  Personal information and privacy concerns.?

Actually, this is legit. The Gov't requires every single person within the borders to be counted every ten years, but in addition to this, there is a census every year that goes to a small and random sampling of people to get info on race, kids, etc, to make sure that the right amount of gov't aids and services are going to the right areas. \n\nI got one and thought it was a scam, so I trashed it...then the census lady showed up and demanded to come in, but I wouldn't let her, and she threatened me. I got her business card and told her to get the hell off my property. I called her office and ratted her out...and it turns out it was all legit...but I did get her in trouble. They have the right by law to collect this data, but they don't have the right to harrass you...but if you don't send it in soon, there might be someone knocking on your door too.


I'll never understand WHY women refuse to stop loving men who f*ck them over every chance they get,it's like you guys are happy when your feeling like sh*t.look forget this piece of sh*t your going to have to do try to make it with out him.if you have friends or family that can help then ask them if not,find a good christian church ask to speak to someone and tell then your story if they are really workers of the lord they will help you.(I was once homeless and a pastor helped me get on my feet)try social services.I know it will be rough but remember the stormy days don't last forever and sun must shine one day.you just have to be strong and be patient.as far as this guy goes if he loved you would be asking this question on yahoo right now?!when the baby is born take him to court and make him pay his share of the load.but until then your going to have to do it.you don't love him you only love what you want him to be,what you think he should be,what he used to be.except who he really is CRAP!! think about it has he made your life any better or happier since you met him? don't sound like.now ask yourself if you still love him.


I had a baby 8months ago and I want to lose weight,but what is the best diet?

No diet works for the long run.  Stay away from diets that prevent your intake on foods that you like because once your off the diet you will gain the weight back eating items that you missed while dieting. Best diet is no diet, but you must learn to eat healthy (better food choices) and exercise.  Still have some of the things that you like but count calories.  If you are unable to exercise at a gym, purchase a stroller for your little one and walk outside.  Maybe later, you will want to purchase a stroller for jogging if you keep it up.  Most states are having very warm weather now "summer" get out and enjoy it while losing those extra pounds !  ..........JUST DO IT !  Good Luck !


Has anyone else heard that Deidre Hall is leaving "Days of Our Lives"? Is it true ?

I would love to see her leave!!! She can take John with her and "That's a Fact". I am sooooo sick of those two. Days has been my favorite show since I was a kid. They really need to freshen it up a bit. If they would get rid of John and Marlena that would please me. If not then they need to give them better story lines. I know Deidre Hall can be a better actress than this. John Black just makes me totally ill however. If I hear "That's a fact" one more time I will HURL for sure. Thank you and have a nice day.


do you have a hard time controling your sexual attraction?

Sometimes. If I see a guy that is really hot I find it hard to control myself. But then I realize if I come on too strong, it may be a turn-off--so I have learned to control it. Instead I'll just flirt some and see what it goes.


How do you feel if your friend likes you?

That all depends if she or he only wants a friendship or are they looking for a steady relationship.  For example, my friend and I have been dating over 8 years and we are comfortable with that.  My friends are saying what are you waiting for. I tell them that I am not looking for a marriage.

Why are there so many idiots everywhere?


It can be really bad and painful. I have some where I look pregnant. Try eating foods that are not known to cause gas or at least take a gas fighting pill. This will keep it from becoming worse when you eat. I'm not sure if this works for everyone but I sometimes take a couple of stool softening pills, too. It's just enough to keep me regular during my period and fights the bloat. Also try some Alieve or Advil. Both will reduce swelling. I prefer the PM Midol for multi symptom relief. It is exactly the same as the normal Midol but without the caffeine. I don't need any extra caffeine because around that time of the month it's chocolate chocolate chocolate for me!

anyone can tell me why the color of the sky is blue,not green,orange or purple?

it is because of tyndall effect as the blue clour as a longer wave length in the spectrum of colours it gets scaterd more in the sky \n \n     \nmxwltan\n6 minutes ago\n\n\n \n The Earth's sky is blue because the air molecules (largely nitrogen\nand oxygen) are much smaller than the wavelength of light. When light\nencounters particles much smaller than its wavelength, the scattered\nintensity is inversely proportional to the 4'th power of the\nwavelength. This is called "Rayleigh scattering," and it means that\nhalf the wavelength is scattered with 2**4 = 16 times more intensity.\nThat's why the sky appears blue: the blue light is scattered some 16\ntimes more strongly than the red light. Rayleigh scattering is also\nthe reason why the setting Sun appears red: the blue light has been\nscattered away from the direct sunlight.\n\nThus, if the atmosphere of another planet is composed of a transparent\ngas or gases whose molecules are much smaller than the wavelength of\nlight, we would, in general, also expect the sky on that planet to\nhave a blue color.\n\nIf you want another color of the sky, you need bigger particles in the\nair. You need something bigger than molecules in the air---dust.\n\nDust particles can be many times larger than air molecules but still\nsmall enough to not fall out to the ground. If the dust particles are\nmuch larger than the wavelength of light, the scattered light will be\nneutral in color (i.e., white or gray)---this also happens in clouds\nhere on Earth, which consist of water droplets. If the dust particles\nare of approximately the same size as the wavelength of light, the\nsituation gets complex, and all sorts of interesting scattering\nphenomena may happen. This happens here on Earth from time to time,\nparticularly in desert areas, where the sky may appear white, brown,\nor some other color. Dust is also responsible for the pinkish sky on\nMars, as seen in the photographs returned from the Viking landers.\n\nIf the atmosphere contains lots of dust, the direct light from the Sun\nor Moon may occasionally get some quite unusual color. Sometimes,\ngreen and blue moons have been reported. These phenomena are quite\nrare though---they happen only "once in a blue moon...." :) The dust\nresponsible for these unusual color phenomena is most often volcanic\nin origin. When El Chicon erupted in 1982, this caused unusually\nstrongly colored sunsets in equatorial areas for more than one year.\nThe much bigger volcanic explosion at Krakatoa, some 110 years ago,\ncaused green and blue moons worldwide for a few years.\n\nOne possible exception to the above discussion is if the clouds on the\nplanet are composed of a strongly colored chemical. This might occur\non Jupiter, where the clouds are thought to contain sulfur, phosphorus,\nand/or various organic chemicals.\n\nIt's also worth pointing out that the light of the planet's primary is\nquite insignificant. Our eyes are highly adaptable to the dominating\nillumination and perceive it as "white," within a quite wide range of\npossible colors. During daytime, we perceive the light from the Sun\n(6000 K) as white, and at night we perceive the light from our\nincandescent lamps (2800 K, like a late, cool M star) as white. Only\nif we put these two lights side-by-side, at comparable intensities,\nwill we perceive a clear color difference.\n\nIf the Sun was a hot star (say of spectral type B), it's likely we\nstill would perceive its light as "white" and the sky's color as blue

Are there any observable distinctions between religious and non-religious terrorism?

Only in the types of recruitment of new members.   At it's base terrorism is always ideological or political.  Religeon is generally used as an excuse or a tool to recruit new members.  White supremecist groups normally affiliate themselves with chritianity but we don't view their behavior as being motivated by the Bible.


Yes, I do know, and with "Goran" in your nickname, I'm guessing you also have an idea of where it is.\n\nI have to say it's funny how you can get so many answers to the same simple question.  Depending on the intellectual level of the person asking, I sometimes have to stoop down to the level of saying "it's to the right of the big boot."\n\nIf you look at a map of Europe and exclude Russia and Turkey, Croatia falls into the center and south of Europe.  Why many say it is in the East, Balkans, or even West . . . It all depends on where you stand, both physically and politically.

How does ethanol work in a chemical perspective when it is mixed with petroleum to be used as fuel?

Well, ethanol is a hydrocarbon, so the combustion reaction is:\n\n2C2H5OH + 7O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O\n\nThis reaction produces a lot of energy. If an engine is created for ethanol use, it can utilize that energy in a cylinder just like a normal engine.

Their roots are actually specialized branches (rhizoids) that grow in the ground or into tree bark, on rock, etc. so the whole plant is actually living sideways.  The branches absorb water just like roots would. They have a great capacity for storing water, and most are pretty small, so they don't need as much rain as most plants, just humidity/moistness.  Most surfaces are wet with dew in the morning, and they absorb this.

why the Arabian sea water is darker than bay of Bengal?

Depends... If by darker you mean that when looking at that Bay of Bengal from land its lighter than the Arabian sea, then its most likely a difference in depth.  Deeper water usually appears darker than shallower water.  Or it could be due to Vegetation on the floor of the Arabian Sea and not the Bay of Bengal.  Kelp and Sea plants generally make the water appear darker also.  \n\nThe key is appear.  If you took a glass of Bay of bengal water and a glass of Arabian Sea water and set them side by side They should be the same color.  If they were not the same in color, then it must be a pollutant or plankton.

can someone in the army get a fortnights leave when their in iraq?

Lots of soldiers do get R&R leave (2 weeks of uncharged leave) in the middle of a year-long deployment.  This, however, is not guaranteed, and I don't think you can request.  I'm pretty sure it has to just be given to you.  SO, it depends on many factors, but yes, it is possible.


What Foreing Language Would you like to Learn?


True or False? When a charge q is given to an isolated conductor, its potential will change. Hence, q = CV?

Well that book must have a misprint or something because q=CV is not accurate. Actually if the potential of a outside conductor depends on the size, then this is a variable dependent, (and therefore mutable) in structure, shape, and amount of conduction based on the charge of q. For if C=q/v, then the isolated conductor's potential to change will be hinder and therefore not fully capable of allowing a full transformation for V due to the charge (power) of q.

what do you do when both parents pass away and ther is no will?

The answer depends upon the state where the parents had their domicile at the time of their deaths. Where did they live? Intestate (without a will) estates are the subject of state laws, so there are in fact, 50 different answers to your question. In some states it is rather simple and inexpensive to resolve such a matter, and in other states it is unfortunately not so. I would suggest going to a nearby law library (such as at a law school or in a county courthouse) where you can probably find information that would help. And no, it's not rocket science. With a few minutes time you would be able to read and understand some of the basics of whatever state you're in. You could also probably get some of the basic information from the local clerk of court.

is postpartum psychosis the same as schizophrenia?

NO!!!!  NO!!!! NO!!!!\nHaving schizophrenia is something you have to deal with every day all of your life & it affects every aspect of your life.  Having postpartum psychosis is a temporary problem that when treated goes away and doesn't return--unless you have another baby and have the same problems again!  PPP may seem to some to come on suddenly--but the signs are present before the child is even born--a good doc would take notice of it, if they don't the family and friends of the mommy to be would.  I've had ppd-postpartum depression- and it wasn't something that just happened over night, it had been building up for months:  2 kids under 3 & another one on the way, middle of a divorce from a physically & mentally abusive man, trying to work full time and finish college--it would make any one depressed, add the hormone fluctuations of pregnancy & Poof!  You've got a Mad Mommy!

GOLD-PLATINUM-PALLADIUM TEST\nBy Delos Toole\n\nSelect ore samples suspected to contain Gold-Platinum-Palladium and use concentrates equal to the size of one navy bean or pea. Place the concentrates in a clean test tube and add 1cc Nitric Acid and 3cc Hydrochloric Acid, (this a solution named Aqua Regia which is used regularly when testing.) Boil this over a lamp flame for about 5 to 8 minutes. Should this Aqua Regia solution contain Gold-Platinum-Palladium then the following tests will react with various colors, (good idea to practice on known samples of Gold-Platinum-Palladium for color and reaction identification and become familiar to them.)\n\nTest for Gold (Au).\n\nPrepare a solution for Stannous Chloride for each 8 hour period as this solution does not hold up under extended time periods. Dissolving Metallic Tin (Sn) in Hydrochloric Acid (HC1), where the resulted solution will be called Stannous Chloride (SnC1). Place about 2cc of HC1 in a clean test tube and add 1 or 2 small bit pieces of Metallic Tin to the test tube and bring this to a slight boil. You now have Stannous Chloride (SnC1).\n\nNow begin the gold test by making a spot test with freshly made Stannous Chloride by placing a piece of filter paper onto a clean piece of glass and place one drop of Aqua Regia solution in the center of the filter paper, and then add to this mixture one drop of freshly made Stannous Chloride solution. If gold is present there will show up on the filter paper a purple or rose colored spot when the filter paper has dried; the darker the color the more gold will be present; for low grade ore the spot color will appear plainer. Should the filter paper dry out completely, then add 1 more drop of Stannous Chloride solution to the filter paper to bring out the color.\n\nBegin the test for Platinum (Pt) by placing 20 drops of Aqua Regia solution onto a clean porcelain evaporating dish and boil this over a lamp flame until it is dry, then allow this to remain over the lamp flame for about an extended one second.\n\nPlace the dish where it can cool for a few minutes so as not to break the dish. After cooling, place 4cc of distilled water, (or water free from Chlorine), and reheat just to the boiling point. Filter this solution onto another clean porcelain evaporating dish. Add to this dish, Potassium Iodide equal to one grain of rice. Warm this solution slightly over the lamp flame and observe the color that appears. The results for this test will show if Platinum (Pt) is present as the solution will begin to turn to a light or dark rose color within a few minutes time.\n\nThe more Platinum present in the solution, (ore sample), the quicker and darker the color will appear.\n\nSulphides and other impurities, most likely will give a red color to the solution and will be mistaken for the rose color, if so, then boil off about one-half of the solution to quicken the evaporation process. Then let the porcelain dish set until completely dry, then add a few drops of clean plain water, (no chlorine water). The result will then be a bright rose color, and should there be Sulphides or other impurities in the solution they will appear as colorless. If this solution should appear red, then add a few cc’s of plain water to dilute the dark rose color to a lighter rose color, then you have Platinum (Pt).\n\nTesting for Palladium(Pd).\n\nIn the test for Platinum (Pt), upon adding Potassium Iodide (KI) and warming the procedure, if Palladium (Pd) is present in the sample ore, the solution will turn a dark color or black, which depends upon the amount of Palladium (Pd) present. The more Palladium (Pd) present, the darker the color will be, and also there will be a black precipitate in the bottom of the porcelain dish, which when adding an excess of Potassium Iodide (KI) will dissolve giving a wine-red color appearance.


what are your thoughts on capital punishment?

If the criminal admits to the crime, then I agree, kill them the same day.  But if they proclaim their innocence, they have a right to appeal. You are either guilty beyond a reasonable doubt or you aren't...so I don't really think you can put a percentage on guilt to be ok with the execution.\n\nOn a side note, I think that capital punishment is a good crime deterent.  If people are desperate, it won't matter, but it will deter some.

Anyone else sick of celebrities preaching to us?

3crosses, I COMPLETELY agree with you on the Oprah thing.  I can't stand that woman.  If she and all these other spoiled celebrities would give up all their money down to what most people can live relatively comfortably with, we would probably be able to feed all the starving people in the world and make sure everyone in our own country would be taken care of.  Watching the Fabulous Life Of... on VH1 is enough to make a person physically ill.

How is it that you may see the full moon during the day time?

You can not.  In order to have a full moon you must be able to draw a strait line from the sun to the moon with the earth in the middle.  In otherwords the sun and the moon must be 180 degrees apart.\n\nIt might be possible to see a full moon rising in the east, just as the sun is setting in the west (or full moon setting when the sun is rising) at the equator on the equinox, if there happens to be a full moon on the equinox.\n\nOther than the simultanious rise/set you can not see the full moon in the sky at the same time as the sun.


Relating to Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code" - what about the truth notes of Da Vinci?

I believe you are pertaining to the the FACT page of the book.\n\nDan Brown is actually misleading us to believe what is in the book by writing that fact page.  He mentioned in that page that the Priory of Sion (which is the main focus of his novel) is a real organization founded in 1099.  He also mentioned about the Les Dossiers Secrets which was found in Bibliotheque Nationale in 1975.\n\nBut what is the real story of the Priory of Sion?  The Priory of Sion was a club founded in 1956 by four young Frenchmen. Two of its members were André Bonhomme (who was president of the club when it was founded) and Pierre Plantard (who previously had been sentenced to six months in prison for fraud and embezzlement).\n\nThe group's name is based on a local mountain in France (Col du Mont Sion), not Mount Zion in Jerusalem. It has no connection with the Crusaders, the Templars, or previous movements incorporating "Sion" into their names.\n\nThe organization broke up after a short time, but in later years Pierre Plantard revived it, claimed he was the "grand master" or leader of the organization, and began making outrageous claims regarding its antiquity, prior membership, and true purposes. It was he who claimed that the organization stemmed from the Crusades, he (in conjunction with later associates) who composed and salted Les Dossiers Secretes in the Bibliothèque Nationale, and he who created the story that the organization was guarding a secret royal bloodline that could one day return to political power.\n\nThe real history of this organization was written in some French books and even in a BBC special.  The BBC special itself concluded: \n"There's no evidence for a Priory of Sion until the 1950s; to find it, you go to the little town of St. Julien. Under French law every new club or association must register itself with the authorities, and that's why there's a dossier here showing that a Priory of Sion filed the proper forms in 1956. According to a founding member, this eccentric association took its name not from Jerusalem but from a nearby mountain (Col du Mont Sion, alt. 786 m). The dossier also notes that the Priory's self-styled grand master, Pierre Plantard, who is central to this story, has done time in jail."\n\nFor an extensive chronology of the events surrounding Pierre Plantard, the Priory of Sion, and its eventual demise, visit this website of researcher Paul Smith www.priory-of-sion.com.\n\nThe fact page also has certain claims of the Opus Dei which is entirely preposterous.  I will be referring you to some references that will prove that the claims of the book regarding Opus Dei is flat wrong.  http://www.opusdei.us/art.php?p=7017\n\nHope I have enlightened you at least this part of the book.    The Da Vinci Code can't provide evidences on their claims.

How many people survive stage 4 colon cancer? if so, how long do they last?

I'm so sorry that something has happened in your life that you need to ask that question.  Colon cancer has touched my family, both with stage 4 colon cancer that took my grandfather when I was very young, and with a pre-metastisized (sp?) carcinoma that was found in my colon nearly 20 years ago.\n\nThe first thing I would say is *don't* focus too much on the numbers.  The fact of the matter is that, whatever percentage you may see, it reflects at least thousands of people who have beat this horrible disease.  Treatment options continue to expand and improve.  Regardless of the treatment path that is chosen, one of the most important things in recovery is the person's *outlook* on recovery.  Knowing in your heart that you can beat it, and telling yourself you *can* beat it is so very important.\n\nIf you want to look at numbers, it's also important to remember that it's more than just the "stage" of the cancer that plays a part.  Some of the impact is in the organs that are affected and the level at which they are affected.  For example, the link below indicates that there is a *much* higher survival rate for stage IV colon cancer patients that have 3 or fewer liver mestates (as high as 30%, compared with the 5% rate that is often quoted for stage IV colon cancer in general.)\n\nhttp://www.alternative-cancer-treatments.com/colon-cancer-prognosis.htm

In the Book "Odyssey" what might the furies be nicknamed (strange ones) 4 letters long?

Furies \n  \n  \nor Erinyes (rn´-z) (KEY) , in Greek and Roman religion and mythology, three daughters of Mother Earth, conceived from the blood of Uranus, when Kronos castrated him. They were powerful divinities that personified conscience and punished crimes against kindred blood, especially matricide. They were usually represented as winged women with serpent hair. Their names were Megaera [jealous], Tisiphone [blood avenger], and Alecto [unceasing in pursuit]. When called upon to act, they hounded their victims until they died in a “furor” of madness or torment. In the myth of Orestes they appear as Clytemnestra’s agents of revenge. After Athena absolved Orestes of guilt in the murder of his mother, she gave the Furies a grotto at Athens where they received sacrifices and libations, and became euphemistically known as the Eumenides [kindly ones]. \n\nThat's the story of the Furies. Could be 'hags' you're looking for.

What are some information technology problems relating to the caribbean/belize?

One issue is the regulatory environment in telecommunications in Belize. Technology in the 21st century will and does depend on telecommunications, however, if the regulatory agencies are short sighted and seek to protect monopolies like local telecom companies and not allow innovation, current technology, and open competition in the telecom area, then information technology suffers. This issue is a common one in the Caribbean/Belize.

Should American Children be able to petition for immigration their parents before the age of 18?

I have two American Children and is a foreign national myself. I am here legal and both me and my wife are highly educated and doing very good here. We could think about staying but the process of getting that done here is very difficult. I think Americans don't realize how difficult it is to live in the US as an alien witch is a pity because I think that would have change a lot of peoples opinions about immigration. So by other words if that would have made it easier I think in some cases yes and some cases no.

what is titanium (Ti) is it worther than platinum?

Titanium is not worth as much as platinum.  It is much more common in the earth's crust as fairly common minerals such as rutile and illmenite (occurs in weight % abundances in the rock).  Platinum however occurs only in very unusual environments and in low ammounts (occurs in parts per million - or grams/ton in the rock), and so it is "worther".


What is the average temperature of Washington State?

(m)\n\nClimate Washington's climate varies greatly from west to east. \n\n The west is mild and humid, while east of the Cascades a cooler dry climate prevails. \n\n The average annual temperature ranges from 51 degrees on the Pacific coast to 40 degrees in the northeast. \n\n The climate in western Washington is mild because of the warm currents coming off of the North Pacific. This area has frequent cloud cover, considerable fog, and long-lasting drizzles. Summer is much sunnier, yet still mild. Average high temperatures here approach 70 degrees. \n\n The western side of the Olympic Peninsula receives up to 160 inches of precipitation annually, making it the wettest area of the 48 continental states. Weeks or even months may pass without a clear day. \n\n Portions of the Puget Sound area, on the eastern side of the Olympic Mountains, are less wet, although still humid. \n\n The western slopes of the Cascade Range receive some of the heaviest annual snowfall in the country (over 200 inches annually)


On this ask and answer thingy, how come everyone is spelling correctly? And not using words like "u, w8" yeah.

I don't think that's entirely true. I've seen plenty of questions and answers here with incorrect spelling, incorrect grammar, and with abbreviations like that. Maybe you see it less in the 'Words and Wordplay' section because people who are in this section generally have more respect for the correct use of the English language.


Does the property tax amount change if you refinance ur mortgage and the appraisal of the house is now higher?

County Tax Assessors do not rely on appraisals nor current values to determine your tax basis.  The lenders rely on this information in order to gage the extent of the loan amount.  If your home is being taxed on a value of $200K, any increase to that amount will determine a new base.  If you're re-financing rate and term, your first mortgage shouldn't increase much, so there will be very little increase in taxes.  However, if you're cash-out refi-ing lets say, $200K more, your new base will be $400K.  I know as fact that HELOCS do increase your base because this second is recorded and its addition to your value is obvious. (Even if you don't draw from your line!) Appraising is not an exact science and we all would challenge anything Mr. Tax collector told us to be value.


can a company hire in temporary help after laying me off?

Everything about a life form is decided by DNA from the colour of it's fur or skin to it's size. This is what our parents pass on to us. However, if this is not copied properly when it is passed on to an egg or sperm cell, which becomes a baby, then the baby may have a different characteristic from the rest of its species. This is called a mutation. If this mutation gives the animal an advantage over other animals in it's species- for example if it makes a moth brown instead of white so it can blend in on trees more, and is less likely to be eaten by predators, then that animal is more likely to survive. If it then mates and passes on it's mutated DNA to more offspring then they are more likely to survive so slowly the white moths would be eaten where the brown would not, and the species has 'evolved' to be brown. Every animal you can think of has been formed by tiny mutations over millions of years. We owe evolution quite a lot!


What's the difference between a solstice and a equinox?

Solstice is either of the two points on the ecliptic at which its distance from the celestial equator is greatest and which is reached by the sun each year about June 22 and December 22.\n\nEquinox is either of the two points on the celestial sphere where the celestial equator intersects the ecliptic, or either of the two times each year (about March 21 and September 23) when the sun crosses the equator and day and night are everywhere of equal length.\n\nAll four days are recognized holidays in Pagan religions.


No. not unless they are used in more interesting ways wth a partner!!


No. A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light.  When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

Slip a diaphragm into your mouth with the frame's open end pointing outward. Put the short reed of a multi-reed call down against your tongue. Place a call halfway between your front teeth and the back of your mouth. \n\nIf a diaphragm feels too big or bulky, you can trim its tape skirt with scissors. But be careful! Too much trimming can destroy a call's air seal. You can also bend an aluminum frame slightly to ensure a tight palate fit. \n\nThe key to using a diaphragm is jaw movement. Raise and lower your jaws while huffing air up from your chest and across the call's reed. \n\nTo cluck, say "puck," popping a short burst of air over the diaphragm's reed. String some loud and excited "pucks" together to cutt. \n\nTo yelp, you must tighten and loosen tongue pressure on a diaphragm to make it roll over into 2-note "kee-awks, kee-awks." It's pretty easy to do if you work those jaws! \n\nBefore calling to a gobbler for the first time, roll a diaphragm around in your mouth for 10 to 20 seconds. This lubes and loosens the reeds and allows the call to roll over into nice yelps.

How can i get my mom to spend time with me.?

It is so sweet that you want to spend more time with your mom. I wish my kids would spend more time with me. Does she have any certain interests? Does she like garage sales? I spend alot of my time with one of my daughters going to them. Does she like going to the park? Take her out on a picnic? You would get to spend alot of time talking to her. Lots of times they have trails to walk on and I think your mother would enjoy that. Go out for ice cream and sit indoors and just talk. Take her to the mall. Does she like games? Play cards or dominoes or board games like monopoly and sorry etc.? When playing games you have a lot of time to talk to each other. Is your mother busy with work or have to much to do at home? If so, help her with the cooking,washing dishes,laundry. Then she would have more time to spend with you. Hope it happens!

why some landlords have special programs for tenant retention?

Some landlords value keeping a stable group of residents that have stayed in their apartments for years, have no behavior problems and pay their rent on time.  Each time a tenant moves out a landlord has to do work on the suite in order to attract a new tenant.  Property management laws can vary from state to state.   Some states have strict guidelines and others do not.  Depending on what state you live in, if a landlord is able to redecorate an apartment very cheaply, he may not want to be bothered with a retention program, but in states with tight landlord-tenant laws, it might be worthwhile to the landlord.

is india going to gain anything with it's nuclaer treaty with america?

of course it will! All those years of friction with neighbouring country Pakistan will now have a strong back up!(i.e: Kashmir conflict). Pakistan is already in good terms with the USA so India is scoring good points by having a nuclear treaty too..Another reason why the treaty's important is because the political situation is already unstable enough (i know what im talking about, i live in Lebanon), and the threats to Iran concerning its nuclear activities are opening more eyes on the danger of atomic energy. It was wise to sign a treaty with the US since it dictates (illegitimately) the steps of the Security Council and the General Assembly..

Why is Myspace soooooo cool not only to teens but to old people too?

Because people of all ages experience lonliness and isolation. The elderly are looking for ways to meet people that they can relate to just as teens are. They need an avenue to express themselves in the same way that youth do, especially since many retired people have free time and lack social interaction.


What is the name of the song that Natalie Merchant and Michael Stipe recorded a few years ago?

The number of USA states is 50 , does this include the DC or not , i mean they r 49 states+the DC=50 states?

DC is not a state, it is a separate entity. This was done so the federal government would not be held hostage by any single state. The land was donated both by Maryland and Virginia.\n\nDC does have electoral votes for President, and it does have observers to both the House and the Senate, so it can debate and introduce motions, but cannot vote on them.


How to write presausive writng over convince a princpil to continue to allow field trips?

first of all, make sure your spelling and grammar are correct...otherwise, the principal may think you need more class time.  also, list your reasons clearly and concisely--even in a bulleted list--so that both you and the principal can refer to any particular one that concerns you.  don't be a wise guy--no adult likes that when there's a serious matter on the table.  and it really couldn't hurt one bit to use a little flattery--defer to his/her knowledge, but be clear about your own reasons to want to continue going on field trips.  learning outside the classroom makes some things easier to understand.  using your senses (touch, hearing, sight, etc.) often is the best way to learn something.  good luck...let us know what happens!!

Why do some people dislike Gypsies so much?

They are known in places like Romania for being dishonest.  The few that I've actually spent time getting to know are helpful, if mischevious. (some might say that adds to their likeability rather than detracting from it)  They are generally nomadic, which lends to their "shifty" stereotype, but I really can't say definitively why they are so persecuted in certain parts of the world.


Why do people celebrate Thanksgiving and how do you have it at someone's house?

Thanksgiving, at it's most basic, is a harvest festival to thank GOD[1] and neighbors for providing enough food to last through the winter. Today, it is more of a celebration of abundance: whether of food, friends, or other 'blessings'.\n\nYou can have Thanksgiving at someone's house by cooking a large meal there on the fourth Thursday in November (US) and inviting friends and family to share in it. Different families have traditional meals, though a typical modern dinner might include Turkey, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, a vegetable dish, a jello dish, and Pumpkin Pie.\n\n\n[1] Since Thanksgiving (as such) was a Colonial American celebration, this would be the Christian God as followed by the majority of the settlers at the time. As Thanksgiving is analogous to harvest festivals occuring in many other religions, this designation is not necessarily exclusive


what do you mean by schrodinger cat in English Language?

Schrodinger theorized that things outside of our view could not have exact results stated about.

How can Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) affect pregnancy?

There does appear to be a higher miscarriage rate in women with PCOS, but the exact reason is still under investigation. According to some studies, the risk of miscarriage in women with PCOS is 45 percent or more. One possibility is that early loss is associated with elevated levels of luteinizing hormone — and women with PCOS often have elevated LH levels — but the reason why it relates to miscarriage is not understood. Another possibility is that elevated levels of insulin or glucose may impede implantation or cause problems with the embryonic development. There is a clear association between uncontrolled blood sugar and pregnancy loss, but the issue of insulin resistance and elevated insulin levels is relatively new and in need of further study. There is a possibility that insulin resistance reduces egg quality. That leads to another possibility — that late ovulation (after cycle day 16) may be associated with poor follicle development and decreased egg quality. \n\nConception is frequently possible with proper surgical or medical treatments. Following conception, pregnancy is usually uneventful.\n\nThe last link below leads to an article entitled, Conception Rate in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (Resistant to Clomiphene Citrate) With Different Treatment Methods.

Should Moussaoui be given the death penalty or........?

On the one hand having him alive always leaves the opportunity for one of his buddies to kidnap someone in return for his release (not that anyone would release him) but if alive there's always the chance.  On the other hand we have the opportunity for him be a martyr - given his recent testimony that is exactly what he wants.  Could we have him dress him like a little girl, give him a huge roommate that likes to "cuddle," and pipe in "You light up my life" by Debbie Boon day and night?

How does the comparing of fossils aid in supporting the theories of evolution? Please explain?

Hey, iloveicecream103, why don't YOU read a book about science, then talk to us about Genesis, if you still can.\n\nFossil layers show change over time.  The lowest layers have species the least like modern species.  As you progress up the fossil record, each layer is consistently more and more like modern organisms.  Creationists have no explanation for this.  They haven't even bothered trying.\n\nComing up the fossil record, you see forms changing over time.  Clams are preceded by animals like clams, but with their shells united.  Before mammals, mammal-like reptiles.  Before reptiles, reptile-like amphibians.  Before amphibians, amphibian-like fish.  Creationists have no explanation for this either, but they have made a few wasted efforts.\n\nThe transitions evolution expects occur.  Creationists can pretend they aren't *really* transitions, they just *look* like transitions, but that's just like a child yelling "DOES NOT" to win an argument.\n\nCreationists especially need to pretend that no transitions between humans and other apes appear.  They claim that all fossils are obviously human or obviously ape.  However, if you examine the claims of multiple creationists, you'll find they disagree on which are "obviously" which.  If it was so freaking obvious, shouldn't they be able to agree?  At least a little?  Here's a chart:\n\nhttp://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/compare.html\n\nThe only thing obvious about it is that the skulls obviously cannot be considered one or the other and must be seen as transitions by any open-minded person.\n\nThe transitions that evolution doesn't want do not occur.  At no point in the fossil record do we find mammal/birds.  At no point do we find any direct transitions between amphibians and mammals.  We don't find any cat/humans either.  Any of these things, if discovered, would scrap evolutionary theory overnight.  Creationists have yet to explain why God made only species that look like they could have evolved.\n\nEven without any notion of progress or change over time in the fossil record, it's sorting would be an embarrassment to creationists.\n\nScientists respect the fossil record and accept it on its own terms.  If oak trees appear on top of tree ferns, oak trees came after tree ferns.  Creationists need to impose explanations to account for their claims that everything existed together at once, but these do not flow naturally from the evidence.  For instance, they have no explanation for why oak trees are found above tree ferns.\n\nCreationists have three explanations for fossil sorting, none of them works at all.\n\n1.  They like to claim that fossils are sorted by which species could outrun the rising floodwaters (they blame Noah’s' flood for everything they can't explain).  This would mean that moles and sloths can run faster than velociraptors, Oak trees and mangroves can run faster than velociraptors as well.  Velociraptors run at the same speed as tree ferns.  It is also useless for explaining why ichthyosaurs and dolphins are never found together.\n\n2.  They claim that different species occur in different ecological zones, thus would form in different layers.  This fails again.  Mangroves are found in the lowest ecological zone of any flowering plants, but the highest levels of the fossil record.  Oak trees are found high with mangroves, instead of low in the plains.  Tree ferns should be found with oaks.  Moles should be beneath velociraptors again, and ichthyosaurs should, again, be found with dolphins.\n\n3.  They claim that the mechanical action of the flood should sort things.  Well, it should.  Too bad such sorting doesn't look at all like what is seen.  Mangroves sink, for example.  So do waterlogged oaks.  Moles are bullet shaped and would sink faster than light-boned velociraptors.  Dolphins and ichthyosaurs should, again, be found together.\n\nCreationists have lots of explanations for fossil so

Just started playing with this yahoo ask/answer thing... but what does getting points do for me?Thanks!?

The points system does two things:\n\n1. It prevents trolls from flooding the service with nonsense questions, since questions cost more points to ask than to answer.\n\n2. It allows you to answer and rate more questions per day, the more points you have.\n\n3. The most active participants -- by design, the ones who have had their answers rated best most consistently, since you get more points having your answers voted best or given a thumbs-up rating -- get more privledges than new users, or people who ask more questions than they answer, or who consistently give bad answers.\n\nSo, the more points you get, the more questions you can ask, the more questions you can answer, and the more credibility your answers hold on their face.

Richard M. Nixon\n\nReconciliation was the first goal set by President Richard M. Nixon. The Nation was painfully divided, with turbulence in the cities and war overseas. During his Presidency, Nixon succeeded in ending American fighting in Viet Nam and improving relations with the U.S.S.R. and China. But the Watergate scandal brought fresh divisions to the country and ultimately led to his resignation.\n\nHis election in 1968 had climaxed a career unusual on two counts: his early success and his comeback after being defeated for President in 1960 and for Governor of California in 1962.\n\nBorn in California in 1913, Nixon had a brilliant record at Whittier College and Duke University Law School before beginning the practice of law. In 1940, he married Patricia Ryan; they had two daughters, Patricia (Tricia) and Julie. During World War II, Nixon served as a Navy lieutenant commander in the Pacific. \n\n On leaving the service, he was elected to Congress from his California district. In 1950, he won a Senate seat. Two years later, General Eisenhower selected Nixon, age 39, to be his running mate.\n\nAs Vice President, Nixon took on major duties in the Eisenhower Administration. Nominated for President by acclamation in 1960, he lost by a narrow margin to John F. Kennedy. In 1968, he again won his party's nomination, and went on to defeat Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and third-party candidate George C. Wallace.\n\nHis accomplishments while in office included revenue sharing, the end of the draft, new anticrime laws, and a broad environmental program. As he had promised, he appointed Justices of conservative philosophy to the Supreme Court. One of the most dramatic events of his first term occurred in 1969, when American astronauts made the first moon landing.\n\nSome of his most acclaimed achievements came in his quest for world stability. During visits in 1972 to Beijing and Moscow, he reduced tensions with China and the U.S.S.R. His summit meetings with Russian leader Leonid I. Brezhnev produced a treaty to limit strategic nuclear weapons. In January 1973, he announced an accord with North Viet Nam to end American involvement in Indochina. In 1974, his Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, negotiated disengagement agreements between Israel and its opponents, Egypt and Syria.\n\nIn his 1972 bid for office, Nixon defeated Democratic candidate George McGovern by one of the widest margins on record.\n\nWithin a few months, his administration was embattled over the so-called "Watergate" scandal, stemming from a break-in at the offices of the Democratic National Committee during the 1972 campaign. The break-in was traced to officials of the Committee to Re-elect the President. A number of administration officials resigned; some were later convicted of offenses connected with efforts to cover up the affair. Nixon denied any personal involvement, but the courts forced him to yield tape recordings which indicated that he had, in fact, tried to divert the investigation.\n\nAs a result of unrelated scandals in Maryland, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned in 1973. Nixon nominated, and Congress approved, House Minority Leader Gerald R. Ford as Vice President.\n\nFaced with what seemed almost certain impeachment, Nixon announced on August 8, 1974, that he would resign the next day to begin "that process of healing which is so desperately needed in America."\n\nIn his last years, Nixon gained praise as an elder statesman. By the time of his death on April 22, 1994, he had written numerous books on his experiences in public life and on foreign policy.


Most people find it hard to make friends when they're trying to appear to be someone other than themselves.  The true part of you, the part that makes you different from everyone else, is the part that can be loved.  If you're hiding that part out of fear, then no one can get to know you.\n\n\nAs hard as it sounds, you've got to learn to relax.  You can do this by finding things that YOU like to do, and join a club or take a class in it, or go where people gather to do that.  Then you will meet people who share your interests; and you will also have something to talk about besides the weather. When you start having fun, people will be attracted to you naturally.

what about the health insurance crisis in america?

Could you be more specific?\n1)From the health insurance perspective, there is NO CRISIS as\nthey are raking in the dough. They hardly pay anything to the physcians. So they keep more of the premiums you pay every month.They do their best to make your coverage as confusing as possible, so you won't know what they will pay for. Then when they don't pay for something, you can't talk to anyone at the insurance company that wants to help you. \n2)From the Doctor's point of view, it is harder and harder to provide quality health care to their patient's. They need to have the latest most up to date equipment to diagnose and treat their patient's. There is a lot of overhead to pay for. To get enough payment from the insurance companies to cover the overhead, they have to see a ton of patient's every day. This results in not being able to spend enough quality time with each patient......   \n3) From the patients point of view, it is all very confusing. The insurance companies tell you one thing, your doctor's office tells you something else. Just when you build a relationship with your doctor, your insurance changes, and you have to find a different doctor that is with that insurance company. There is no consistency to your\nmedical care that way.\nHow do we solve this? Good question. I don't have the answers, but also find it all very frustrating. You have to know how to work the system to get the health care you need.

Unfortunatly, you will have to list the factors of each and then find the common and then the greatest common factor (GCF). \n\nIf you know the rules for finding factors it helps:\n\n2: goes into even numbers\n3: add the digits together and if the sum is divisible by 3 then the 2 digit number is (example 45: 4+5=9 and 9 is divisible by 3 so 45 is, too)\n5: all numbers that have a 0 or 5 in the one's place\n \nGood luck!

Fusions can be used for a variety of purposes.  Some fusions are created to "tag" a recombinant protein in order to purify it easier.  Recombinant fusion proteins can be synthesized for vaccine purposes to elicit immune responses to multiple protein epitopes.  Fusions also can be made to produce a protein with several characteristics normally seen in separate entities (ie; an transciptional activator and an enzyme active site).


How can we hope to change the mind of God through prayer?

We don't change the mind of God rather He changes us. Every good parent gives what is good for their child and withholds what is bad. But even though we plan to give them something good we teach them to say please and thank you so that they are trained to politeness and character. God would have us acknowledge him by asking as it is only the right thing to do. He may withhold things from us till we learn but yes He did know all along how we would react. We are still responsible creatures created in His image. He is not interested in mindless robots but people who know and love Him. He does not hold anything back needlessly as in the case of one who cannot pray. He even sends us His Spirit who intercedes for us. His carrying out His plan of benevolence and justice goes on irregardless of us. He is sovereign and is able to incorporate our prayers into things so that they are not in any way useless or an insult. He even teaches us to pray. We know we have the things He has promised and for the rest we pray "not my will but thy will be done" "God will not despise any prayer from even the least of His children. \nHebrews 7:25\nTherefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.


i am an mba marketing and unemployed wt u feel there is no job for people like me?

Perhaps you're not looking in the right places. If you don't have any experience you might not be picked up by the big places right away, but you can definitely find a job. There are usually marketing jobs out there and well paid ones at that.
