<#> What is the best slope in Tahoe for snowboarders? <#> North Star and Heavenly are my personal favorites. Both seem well groomed and Heavenly top-of-the-slope offers a breathtaking view of Lake Tahoe. Try the second source link for a picture of Lake Tahoe from the top of Heavenly. Hope this helps! <#> What is the difference between networking and pyramiding? <#> Networking is interconnecting with other people and talk to them about the business or the product. People use the product and recommend it to other people. The product or business gets recognized by word of mouth. Pyramiding is scam. Pyramiding is when a group asks you for money having the chance to profit from other people's payment who would be joining later. Pyramiding is very common in the Philippines. <#> What does the term playing hooky mean? <#> To play hooky is to skip school, to be truant. <#> Who invented the mouse? <#> According to the bible, it was God. According to Darwin, it was natural evolution. Many others will convince you that it was Steve Jobs and Apple. The answer, according to http://www.superkids.com/aweb/pages/features/mouse/mouse.html, is Doug Engelbart. (which I found via this Yahoo! Search http://myweb2.search.yahoo.com/search?p=who+invented+the+mouse.) <#> How Much Wood Can A Wood Chuck Chuck? <#> well...it depends if a wood chuck could chuck wood <#> What was Alfred Hitchcock's contribution to the movie industry? <#> Hitchcock directed, produced and wrote some of the greatest suspense films of all time. His career spanned from the 1920's to the 1970's. His classic films include "Psycho", "Rear Window", "Vertigo", "North by Northwest", and "The Birds". He also hosted two groundbreaking suspense anthology series on television. It would be difficult to overstate the influence Hitchcock had on the industry. His showmanship, his cinematography and his approach to suspense are felt to this day, recently in Gus Van Sant's shot-by-shot recreation of "Psycho".

<#> Where did the term "I'll be there with bells on" originate? <#> Direct quote from http://www.rootsweb.com/~genepool/meanings.htm: "To be somewhere with "bells on" refers to a practice peddlers had when they roamed the area west of the Appalachians selling wares. To avoid Indians, they traveled as silently as possible until they reached a settled area. Then they unmuffled bells hung around their horses necks to announce their arrival to outlying cabins. Hence, "I'll be there with bells on." The peddlers' arrival was a much anticipated major event in the mostly tedious and hard lives of settlers, not only for the goods they sold, but also for the news, letters, and messages they carried from the outside world." <#> Why are we here? <#> To ask and answer questions. Duh! <#> Which is better a Linux operating system over a Windows operating system? <#> Your question is the probably wrong question to ask. What you should ask yourself, what applications do I want to run and find a machine that runs it. But, if you don't care about what applications you run, Linux is currently more robust and secure than Windows which is very vunerable to Spyware, Trojans, Viruses, etc. You have to be a bit of a Geek to be able to manage a Linux system. On the other hand, you have to be a bit of a wizard to manage a Windows machine... The Macintosh runs an OS similar to Linux, but has a nicer frontend on top of it, so I think the Macintosh is a better choice. Best thing to do is try them out if you can. <#> What is the size of Paris Hilton's feet? <#> She has size 11 feet. <#> How does this site make money? <#> I think you answered your own question. Besides, at orientation weren't we told to make cool stuff, then worry about how to make money? Perhaps this is a cool thing that simply hasn't had a money-making idea created from it yet. However, advertisement is, I think, the most probable means.

<#> how can you cause a toddler to do something that they don't want to do? <#> It typically works really well to give them a choice about part of the afair. For example, if they need to take a gross medicine, that's not an option. But it will go down a lot better if they can choose to take it with the blue or the red spoon, or to get a kiss or a hug afterwards. I also try to leave room for "rewards". For example, at dinner, the kids can take seconds of whatever they like best after they finish eating. However, I make sure to serve them at least a little bit of everything and make them eat that first, and save some of the stuff they really like for seconds. <#> What triangle shaped island is the largest in the Mediterranean? <#> It's Sicily. <#> What is a router? <#> A router is a network device which is connected between network subnets and knows where to send a packet it received. When you use your browser to look at Yahoo!, for example, HTTP data packets from your PC travels to Yahoo by going from router to router until they reach Yahoo! server. Each router is a "hop" on the way and each knows where to send your packet next. A response from Yahoo goes back through the network in similar way (not necessarily through same networks). You may have a router box at home, which usually knows about your home subnet and your ISP subnet. Cisco builds "big iron" routers which are the backbone of the internet. <#> What is a family? <#> It's the society. It's the people we love. It could be our mother, father, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, etc. Family is not only those who are related to us by blood. <#> What's the best age gap between siblings? <#> The New England Journal of Medicine recently published a study suggesting that parents should wait 18 to 23 months after a full-term birth before conceiving again. Interestingly enough, the average age gap between siblings in America is about two and a half years -- which means we must be following this advice! I personally have two sisters, one 6 years older and the other 11 years older, and we get along famously. You have to worry about competition between siblings when the age gap is too small; but with families with wide gaps in age between the siblings, you have to worry that they'll be raised almost like one "only child" after another. Best, k.

<#> What is the world's largest island? <#> At 840,000 square miles (2,175,590 km2), Greenland is the world's largest island. Although Australia also meets the definition of an island (a piece of land surrounded by water), it is large enough to be considered its own continent. <#> what does "The Forgotten Arm," in the title of Aimee's new album mean? <#> The Forgotten Arm of Aimee Mann's newest album refers to a boxing technique where, "a fighter in close quarters uses one arm to punch and lets the other arm hide, waiting to land a surprise blow". This conceptual album follows the story of a boxer and his sweetheart through their tumultous love. The idea of the suprise blow is an apt metaphor for when things in a love relationship suddenly go wrong. She could have been using the idea to this end. <#> what's the best Sirius satellite radio to get? <#> You want one of the dockable tuners, all of them have some sort of line out capability. After that the prime factor is form factor and UI. I prefer the look of the Clarion but the JVC and Audiovox are also good. Also, if you have broadband at home, you don't need a tuner, all sirius subscribers can stream Sirius channels via the internet for free. <#> What's the best search engine? <#> well.. http://www.scroogle.org/ is the best coz.. it doesnt keep logs like google. (Its basically Yahoo and Google scraper.. Ad free and free of access logs) I also recommend http://www.clusty.com, which has better results than Google and doesn't track you. <#> How do you set-up a personal video recorder without monthly fees? <#> Easy, SnapStream, or I think it's now called BeyondTV, there was an article written on it in 2002 on tomsnetworking.com, great article: http://www.tomsnetworking.com/network/20020423/ A little more than $50, but $69.99 ain't bad. If you don't already have a tv tuner card for your PC then get the bundle that comes with it. I'm not sure but I think the XP Media Edition PCs have similar software already built-in as well. <#> What's the name of Paris Hilton's pet dog? <#> Tinkerbell is the name of her chihuahua, who famously went missing last year but was soon after found hiding in Paris's closet!

<#> What are the advantages of a compact crankset over a triple on a bicycle? <#> The main advantage is that the compact crankset gearing is much closer to the high cadence riding that is the current trend in modern cycling. With a standard triple crank you have 30/42/52 chainrings, from which most people use the 42 and 30 rings. The 30 is a little too short for most hilly rides, and basically you're spinning super fast to get up a hill. The 42 is a bit too small for barrelling down a hill, and the 52 is so steep that it's rarely being used. The compact crankset has 50 and 34 tooth gears which are theoretically better for the way most cyclists ride today. The 34 gives you short enough gearing to get up big hills but is not quite as short as the granny gear on the triple, and the 50 gives you the speed in a manageable dose. A couple things to consider, though. In order to switch to a double compact, you need to replace a fair number of components, including the bottom bracket, cranks, rear derailleur (optional but highly recommended), front derailleur and possibly your left shifter. You might be able to get what you want from switching out the cassette on your bike, which is of course a lot cheaper. <#> Can someone direct to me to a good site about volcanoes? <#> This site has the answer you are looking for: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0197833.html Many more resources below... <#> How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood? <#> According to a Wall Street Journal article referenced here, Richard Thomas, a wildlife expert from New York, estimated that a woodchuck moves about 700 pounds of dirt in building its burrow...so, he estimated that over that same time and effort, a woodchuck could chuck 700 pounds of wood if a woodchuck could chuck wood. <#> Who is the best formula 1 driver to ever live? <#> Statistically Michael Schumacher is the best, though it's not an apples to apples comparison as the car is a much larger factor in driver success than it has been in the past. My vote's with Ayrton, he had a razor sharp focus that I haven't seen since, and F1 in the early 1990's was much more competitive than it is today. <#> What is the name of Ariel Sharon's new party? <#> ?Kadima,? or ?forward,?

<#> How many colleges require you to have a foreign language credit? <#> It actually depends on the degree you are seeking and not necessarily on the college or university you choose. Most programs for Bachelor of Arts require four semesters of a foreign language while often Bachelor of Science degrees do not require any foreign language at all. <#> Why do videos run slow on my computer? <#> i think you need to upgrade your memory card and graphic card.concult any hardware specialist...you will find your way outt but ofcourse you need to spend some cash heeeee bye.hav a nice dayyy.. <#> who won the world series? <#> The Chicago White Sox won the 2005 World Series.

<#> What exactly is the difference between stock options and stock grants? <#> Stock option grants and stock grants are two forms of compensation often offered as incentives in addition to base salary offered to a newly hired employee. This practice is especially common in the high tech industry. Stock options are contracts that allow you to buy or sell specific amount of a particular stock at a certain price within a set period of time. The set price is called the strike price. When you (the stock option holder) make use of your right to buy/sell stock according to the terms of the option, you are exercising the option. Call options are options giving you the right to buy stock. Put options are options giving you the right to sell stock. Employers grant call options to employees. Let's take an example: Let's say you are hired by Google and they offer you options to buy 100 shares of Google stock at $400 within the next 5 years. This stock option gives you the right to buy 100 shares of Google stock at exactly $400 any time within the next 5 years. Let's say it's after four years now. Suppose Google stock is at $300 now, now your options are worthless, because you could buy Google stock in the market for $300, much less than the $400 price offered by your stock option. Now suppose Google stock is at $500 now, then if you exercise your option, you could buy 100 shares at $400. Then you can turn around and sell it on the stock market for the current price of $500, making a $100*100=$10000 profit. So the stock option is basically not worth anything if currently the stock price is lower than your option strike price. But as long as your option has not expired, it's possible that the stock price could go above your strike price and make your stock options worth something. Stock grants are simpler to understand. The employer gives you some shares of stock for free. So let's use the Google example again. Suppose Google hired you and gave you 100 shares in a stock grant. Now you own 100 shares of Google stock. At anytime, you could sell that stock for whatever price it is trading at on the stock market. Stock option and stock grants are usually offered on terms called vesting. That means that you are not given the full amount of options or stock right away, but rather the employer gives it to you over time. A common vesting schedule is vesting over four years, so that you get 1/4 of the stock or options offered after the first, second, third, and fourth year you have been at the company. This is done to give employees an incentive to stay at the company.

<#> Is the song, "Puff the Magic Dragon" really about drugs? <#> Snopes.com says NO, it's about the loss of childhood innocence. <#> Which came first, the chicken or the egg? <#> Evolutionary theory seems to point toward the egg being first. All animals on earth mutated and evolved from the first life forms. It's likely that the first chicken as we know it today hatched after eons of genetic mutations and changes. <#> who holds the nba record for most consecutive 3 point field goals made? <#> According to basketball.com's listing of NBA records, Brent Price (Washington) hit 13 in a row from 1/15/96 to 1/19/96; Terry Mills (Detroit) also hit 13 in a row from 12/4/96 to 12/7/96. Don't see anything about most consecutive 3 pointers hit in one single game. <#> For $1000 or less, what's the best 1600x1200 LCD monitor for digital photography? I.e., most accurate color? <#> The problem with most current LCD technology is that the chrominance isn't as good as with traditional CRT-based monitors. There are some LCD ones just coming out that have full-color backlight which should make them actually _better_ than CRTs (according to some Wired article I read, anyhow.) Personally, I've been pretty happy with the Dell 24xx monitors - they're under $1k, they have a multitude of inputs, and I think I've only got one stuck pixel (and no dead ones.) You're still going to have to color-correct anyway, but you'd have to do that on _any_ monitor you get. (A good gamma correction curve will solve a multitude of ills.) <#> In what year did Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day get married? <#> he got married on July 2, 1994.

<#> how come our eyes are located in the front and not on the side of the head? <#> The predatory mammals (which includes us humans) -- flesh-eating hunters such as the cats the dogs, wolves and foxes; the bears; and the weasel family -- have binocular vision: eyes in the front of their heads, with powerful eye muscles that enable them to focus very rapidly and to contract or dilate the pupils according to whether the light is bright or dim. An animal that is preyed upon by many enemies has its eyes out on the sides of its head: each eye with its own field of vision. For example, a cottontail rabbit can see what is above, behind, on either side, and in front of it except what is right before its nose. He probably does not see the clover leaf he eats. Species which are hunted by other animals but which are predators themselves at times, commonly have eyes that are a compromise. A possum's eyes are located at an angle of about 30 degrees with the axis of the body.

<#> What is SAP? <#> SAP is the biggest European software company headquartered in Walldorf, Germany. SAP was founded in 1972 as Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung by five former IBM employees in Mannheim, Germany. The acronym was later changed to mean Systeme, Anwendungen und Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung ("Systems, Applications And Products in Data Processing") but since the Annual General Meeting of 2005, the company's official name is just SAP AG. Although not exactly a household name, SAP is the fourth-largest software company in the world. It ranks after Microsoft, IBM and Oracle in terms of market capitalization. SAP is the largest company in terms of revenue as per latest data, and the largest ERP solution software provider (also in terms of revenue). SAP's products are in the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) business sector. The company's main product is SAP R/3, where the "R" stands for real-time data processing, the number 3 relates to the three tier application architecture: database, application server and client - SAPgui is the desktop software for using SAP R/3. The predecessor to R/3 was R/2. Other major offerings include Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO), Business Information Warehouse (BW), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Knowledge Warehouse (KW). The company also offers a new technology platform, named SAP NetWeaver. While its original products are mostly used by larger companies, SAP is now also offering products for small and medium sized enterprises (SME) with SAP Business One and mySAP All-in-One. More than 28,000 companies run SAP, at over 91,500 locations. SAP users number over 12 million people in more than 120 countries. <#> How do you clean a computer monitor's screen? <#> I suggest using cleaning wipes made for monitors such as Fellowes Screen Cleaning Wipes. It's made specifically for CRT & LCD monitors. It's alcohol and streak free and has anti-static properties. Just make sure never to push down on the LCD when you're cleaning/wiping or you could give your monitor a dead pixel or two. Here's more info on the product: http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/catalog/sku.asp?ID=FE99702&LEVEL=SK&PR=Q71&SID=68EACB0PKQDR9HPDWW5MU2WPRDJ1BK58 It's for a local stationery supply place in Sydney, but I'm sure you can find the equivalent where ever you are.

<#> What's better Snowboarding or Skiing? <#> i found myself picking up snowboarding faster than skiing. by picking up, i mean i felt ready to take on the more intermmediate/advanced runs after a day or two of the bunny slopes. one board and 2 turns (backside and frontside) was a lot less to deal with than 2 poles and 2 skis and limbs flailing around in different directions. moguls are harder on a snowboard and more fun on skis. flatter runs are more frustrating on a snowboard. getting off the ski lift seems easier on skis <#> Where is the best place to park when going to a San Jose Sharks Game? <#> Don't park, take the new light rail station and enjoy a short walk to the stadium. You could park at the new "Bascom" stop and be to the stadium in under 15 minutes once you're on the light rail. <#> Why do we call the initial test "alpha test" and the next test "beta test"? <#> "Historical note: More formally, to beta-test is to test a pre-release (potentially unreliable) version of a piece of software by making it available to selected (or self-selected) customers and users. This term derives from early 1960s terminology for product cycle checkpoints, first used at IBM but later standard throughout the industry. Alpha Test was the unit, module, or component test phase; Beta Test was initial system test. These themselves came from earlier A- and B-tests for hardware. The A-test was a feasibility and manufacturability evaluation done before any commitment to design and development. The B-test was a demonstration that the engineering model functioned as specified. The C-test (corresponding to today's beta) was the B-test performed on early samples of the production design, and the D test was the C test repeated after the model had been in production a while."

<#> Why did the Replacements break up? <#> Defeated from the lackluster performance of Don't Tell a Soul, Paul Westerberg planned on recording a solo album, but Sire rejected the idea. Consequently, the next Replacements album, All Shook Down, was a solo Westerberg record in all but name. Recorded with a cast of session musicians as well as the band, All Shook Down was a stripped-down, largely acoustic affair that hinted at the turmoil within the band. Chris Mars left shortly after its fall 1990 release, claiming that Westerberg had assumed control of the band; he would launch a solo career two years later. The Replacements toured in support of All Shook Down, with Steve Foley, formerly of the Minneapolis-based Things Fall Down, as their new drummer. Neither the tour nor the album were successful, and the Replacements quietly disbanded in the summer of 1991. <#> Where can I find out the history of a holiday? <#> Here are the sites where you could find information about holidays. <#> What is Bill Russell's single game career high for total rebounds? <#> 51. "Grabbed a career-high 51 rebounds vs. Syracuse (Feb. 5, 1960), making him one of two players ever (Wilt Chamberlain) to grab more than 50 boards in a game." <#> What is the difference between a tigon and a liger? <#> Offspring between a lion and tiger: male tiger + female lion = tigon male lion + female tiger = liger <#> Can anyone recommend a reliable and cost effective person to do our personal Trust and will? <#> FYI, most attorneys will charge you the same amount so you don't need to worry about shopping around too much. Also, most of the stuff is boilerplate anyhow. My wife and I used: Ron Westphal Westphal and Patrick 408.280.0660 We found him to be very thorough. <#> Who was Pele's best companion at the Santos attack? <#> Coutinho was his best partner and they played together for many years in Santos. Pele also had Edu as a good partner <#> How do you feel about sex education for 4th and 5th graders? Is it too soon? <#> I have mixed feelings about this. My son is in the 5th grade, and he's quite innocent, so it seems a little early to expose him to the topic (this year). On the other hand, he makes some random comments that he has heard from other classmates, who probably have older siblings, and seems to be at the threshold of being exposed to facts and half-truths. So doing it in a formal fashion is probably better. 4th grade is too early, in my opinion. <#> What sea separates Norway from Northern England? <#> The North Sea. <#> why does polar bear's fur turn green? <#> Algae...

<#> do you think that the people who make Evian bottled water meant for it to be spelled Naive backwards? <#> Yes, it is all taken care of by the gods in trivial knowledge panthenon of the discworld called Topaxi, God of certain mushrooms, and also of great ideas that you forgot to write down and will never remember again, and of people who tell other people the "dog" is "god" spelled backwards and think this is in some way revelatory (a little red god) <#> what is the fibbonacci sequence? <#> Well, many people answered the question. Fibonacci sequence starts from 0 and Nth Fibonacci Number is sum of (N-1) th and (N-2) th Fibonacci Number. Sequence goes like 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34?... It is an empirical fact that the ratio of consecutive Fibonacci Numbers converges to an interesting value near to 1.6 called (to be accurate it is (1+SQRT (5))/2) golden ratio or golden mean. There ere are some interesting facts about golden ratio: 1. The growth of nautilus shell, growth of populations and many other kinds of natural ?growing,? are somehow governed by mathematical properties exhibited in the Fibonacci sequence. Not just the rate of growth, but the pattern of growth. Examine the crisscrossing spiral seed pattern in the head of a sunflower, for instance, and you will discover that the number of spirals in each direction is invariably two consecutive Fibonacci numbers. 2. Golden ratio is related to construction of great ancient architectures like Great pyramids in Egypt. Link: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~matc/math5.geometry/unit2/unit2.html 3. You can follow this link for exploring its use in poetry, music, art and now a days it is used for stock market predictions as well. This link will tell you the origin of the word Fibonacci as well.

<#> How did language start? <#> Language predates the alphabet. The origins of Language are lost to the mists of time. The alphabet as we know it was developed by the Phonecians about 3000 years ago, and modified first by the Greeks, and then the Romans for their own languages before we adopted it from the Romans. The origins of the English language specifically date to sometime after 1066 when Willam the Conqueror became King of England. The commoners spoke something related to the ancestor language of Dutch while the nobility spoke French. We kept the grammar of the native Anglo-Saxon tongue while adding huge amounts of French vocabulary. The result is recognizably English, while still sounding very different from what we speak today. It's not until Shakespear's time that Modern English emerged. <#> What is the Capital City of Jamaica? <#> Kingston <#> Is there a way to change google earth to night-time images? <#> yes - close your eyes. see - its night time! <#> are all women capable of having orgasms during sex -even obese people? <#> sure they can! <#> What is the Knights of Malta Military Roll and Situation In This Century specially after the year 2000 ? <#> The Knights of Malta have not engaged in actual military activities since Napolean's seizure of Malta in 1798 at least. <#> How come when ever you did a hole there is never enough dirt to fill it back in? <#> I think u mean dig, and the reason is you just loose some of the dirt onto the ground u pile it on. <#> Does the CIA own yahoo? <#> No, Yahoo is a publically traded company, so Yahoo is owned by its shareholders. Of course, some people in the CIA might own shares of Yahoo, so there's nothing that says that individuals in the CIA might not own a tiny fraction of Yahoo! <#> help with a spainish to english translation from Colombia- what does this say? <#> well Black Woman (lovely): its because i get from Palenque the gallerys web mail about Anatanael's, A.K.A El Tan�, information, i send to you there so you can do the rest, well "woman" get yourself to work. take off the fishs grudges because I dont know how its flavor is, neither how they cook it, well, fuck, is that this motherfuckers write to me in english and I, luckly talk the spanglish Ugly black woman, ahh forgive me, my "is a strange way to say dear or baby" call me or write to me Chely Well Ray is hurry here, next to me, that i have to say to you black woman with big mouth, well i told him that you have big mputuh when you were little

Going out to eat is traditionally what is done on an anniversary, but I prefer one on one time where there is nobody else around. No strangers talking loudly, no waiters to interrupt, no time wasted in line or in the car. In my opinion, Anniversaries are about each other, and to do that, you've gotta block out the rest of the world. Here's my recipe for a fabulous anniversary. FIRST, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, GET SOME PAPER, PENS, AND AN ENVELOPE. I'll tell you why in a little bit. Next, plan the environment - Stay home (or rent a hotel if you want to get away from the day-to-day). Turn off the lights, turn on the music, light the candles. Put your favorite (but easy to prepare) foods around you - cheeses, pizza, strawberries, chocolate, wine, etc. Now here comes the important part - sit directly in front of each other on the floor. Knee to knee, and eye to eye. Be sure to hold hands and feed each other. Talk about 'the time when we...' or 'that one time when we...'. Before you know it, hours will have passed. Don't be afraid to sip a little more wine than what you normally do. You'll soon find yourself maybe getting a little frisky. But before you go any further, grab that piece of paper and pen, and write down a few lines about what that other person means to you. How they make you feel, and why you love them. Why you appreciate them. The more specific you get the better. For example, I love my man more everytime I catch him acting like a little kid when he thinks no one is around. Now don't let the other person read it. Seal it in the envelope, and save it for your next anniversary. It's so fun, and gives you something really fantastic to look forward to. Now would be a good time to finish off the night with a long kiss...and maybe more. You've just created a wonderful memory of the two of you together, sincerely enjoying each other. Much better than some boring evening at an overpriced restaurant where nobody talked to each other, don't you think?

<#> What kind of animal were the ANIMANIACS? <#> well they looked like dogs, but the professor called them monkeys, or monkey face children. "dont know what to say the monkeys won't do" <#> how about a index or table of contants of all on the web? too convienent?? <#> Well, search engines like Yahoo! and Google try to be something like that but, of course, they can only be approximate. There are a number of problems with indexing EVERYTHING on the web: a) It changes every second! No index or table of contents could keep up. b) It is de-centralized. New web pages do not have to pass through any central controlling authority. How would an indexer/table-of-contents-compiler know what to add? The best that the search engines can do is something called "crawling" the web, looking for new pages. c) Some people don't WANT the rest of the world to know about their web pages. They just want a few people -- maybe just friends and family -- to be able to find the pages easily.

<#> i need help with using sparknotes.com. please click this q if you can help for more details. thanx? <#> Part One (revised 2.28.96) [Note: This is a single part of what will be, by my classification, about 240 compact tribal histories (contact to 1900). It is limited to the lower 48 states of the U.S. but also includes those First Nations from Canada and Mexico that had important roles (Huron, Micmac, Assiniboine, etc.). Although this Cherokee history is larger than most, it's content and style are representative. The normal process at this point is to circulate an almost finished product among a peer group for comment and criticism. Using the Internet, this can be more inclusive. Feel free to comment or suggest corrections via e-mail. Working together we can end some of the historical misinformation about Native Americans. You will find the ego at this end is standard size. Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to your comments...Lee Sultzman] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location Original: The southern Appalachian Mountains: including western North and South Carolina, northern Georgia and Alabama, southwest Virginia, and the Cumberland Basin of Tennessee, Kentucky, and northern Alabama. Current: Distributed across the United States, but concentrated in eastern Oklahoma. The eastern Cherokee still maintain their reservation in western North Carolina. The Northern Cherokee Nation of the Old Louisiana Territory has almost 12,000 members and has been recognized by the State of Missouri. Other groups of Cherokee, like the 2,500 members of the North Alabama Cherokee, are located in Arkansas, Georgia, and Alabama but currently do not have federal recognition. Population European epidemics introduced into the southeastern United States in 1540 by the Desoto expedition are estimated to have killed at least 75% of the original native population. How much the Cherokee suffered from this disaster in unknown, but their population in 1674 was about 50,000. A series of smallpox epidemics (1729, 1738, and 1753) cut this in half, and it remained fairly stable at about 25,000 until their removal to Oklahoma during the 1830s. The American Civil War was the next disaster and cost the Cherokee 25% of their population. No other group of Americans, red or white, suffered as severely during this conflict. The 1990 census listed 308,132 persons (15,000 full-blood) who identified themselves as Cherokee. Of these, 95,435 were concentrated in eastern Oklahoma while 10,114 eastern Cherokee lived on or near the North Carolina reservation. Cherokee tribal governments have fairly liberal membership standards, and some estimates exceed 370,000, which would make the Cherokee the largest Native American group in the United States. Name The most familiar name, Cherokee, comes from a Creek word "Chelokee" meaning "people of a different speech." In their own language the Cherokee originally called themselves the Aniyunwiya (or Anniyaya) "principal people" or the Keetoowah (or Anikituaghi, Anikituhwagi) "people of Kituhwa." Although they usually accept being called Cherokee, many prefer Tsalagi from their own name for the Cherokee Nation (Tsalagihi Ayili). Other names applied to the Cherokee have been: Allegheny (or Allegewi, Talligewi) (Delaware), Baniatho (Arapaho), Ca�xi (or Cayaki) (Osage and Kansa), Chalaque (Spanish), Chilukki (dog people) (Choctaw and Chickasaw), Entarironnen (mountain people) (Huron), Gatohu� (Creek), Kittuwa (or Katow�) (Algonquin), Matera (or Manteran) (coming out of the ground) ( Catawba), Nation du Chien (French), Ochietarironnon (Wyandot), Oyatageronon (or Oyaudah, Uwatayoronon) (cave people) (Iroquois), Shanaki (Caddo), Shannakiak (Fox), Tcaike (Tonkawa), and Tcerokieco (Wichita). Language Iroquian, but Cherokee differs significantly from other Iroquian languages. Sub-tribes The Cherokee have been divided into three divisions depending on location and dialect (east to west): Lower

However, since the countries have been separated for some time and haven't had much contact, you can expect that some new dialectical differences are developing. However, my guess is that probably some different dialects of Korean were present in different regions even before the country got split up. <#> what is your favorite military movie? <#> War movies, probably one of my favorite genres right next to Sci-Fi. At the top of the list I think has to be Saving Private Ryan and right next to it but not below it is Band of Brothers, an excellent mini-series, if you haven't seen it, I recommend you do.

This makes H2O my prime candidate, being the most stable molecule to contain two hydrogen atoms. HCN or CO2 have a much lower probability.

Massage is believed to be beneficial effects in several ways. Besides being physically and emotionally relaxing, massage improves blood and lymph circulation, reduces nerve irritation and brings fresh oxygen and other nutrients to the affected tissues. Massage may also cause the body to produce fewer stress hormones like cortisol and norepinephrine (formerly adrenalin), and may also increase the body's production of pain-killing endorphins and the mood-altering hormone serotonin. While seeing a professional massage therapist is relatively expensive, a friend or family member may be able to learn enough technique from a book or video to provide some relief for you. <#> Am I the only person who really, really hate clowns? <#> No. Check the source link. <#> What is that,that 62% of canadian women have done.Please reply as soon as possible.? <#> Check this out.

I believe the original idea was to build a rocket base from which to explore the solar system. But somebody realised the same thing could be done from Earth via an orbiting space station for a fraction of the cost. The only other reasons for going to the moon were - 1. To stop the Russians setting up a military base there. 2. To collect moon rocks. When the US realised that a Russian moon base wasn't practical, and they had souvenired as many moon rocks as they were ever likely to need, they never bothered to go back. <#> i am looking for people in guatemala city? <#> Try to call the guatemalan consulate. <#> Who is Jeff Palmer? <#> Nude male model <#> I tried to update java and it would not go thur , do i need to reinstall it and how do i? <#> go to home page LOL

<#> how do beta blocking hypertension meds work and explain the meaning of beta in this situation.? <#> There are at least 3 types of beta receptors in the body - beta 1, 2, and 3 - and they are sensitive to epinephrine and norepinephrine. beta 1 controls heart rate and force of contraction in the heart (an increase in these will increase blood pressure, thus blocking them will lower blood pressure). beta 2 controls smooth muscle many places in the body. beta 3 receptors have less well defined role in fat metabolism. The late American scientist Raymond Ahlqvist suggested already in 1948 that opposite effects of catecholamines were mediated by different receptors in the target organs, which he called alpha- and beta-receptors. http://nobelprize.org/medicine/laureates/1988/press.html <#> what's your opinion about sexual relation between girls and boys? <#> Always approach with caution, and try to keep brain in charge of hormones, rather than the reverse. Oh, and keep the hell away from my daughter. <#> What do you think of the U.S.'s economy? <#> US is recognized for its economic might all over the world. However, after the recent 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' propoganda and invasion on Iraq, it has lost its images in the eyes of the intenational community, making its economy facing serious challenges. This down-trowding started after 911 and seems to have continued after wards. Another point is that if US economy gets disturbed, the global economy does recieve the after shocks soon. I hope the situation improves soon.

<#> what does fundamentalism mean? <#> Oftentimes, we mean "An organized, militant Evangelical movement originating in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th century in opposition to Protestant Liberalism and secularism, insisting on the inerrancy of Scripture." But the concept of fundamentalism can be extended to any ideology or theology whose tenents include a strict adherance to a code, especially one which demands the observance by persons who do not subscribe to that code. Naturally, this makes for a source of conflict. And an understandable one at that. For example, say you believe some act is wrong. Furthermore, you believe you have a duty to prevent wrongdoing altogether. Consequently, you have a moral obligation to prevent any person from doing that act - including people who do not think that act is wrong. Any critical examination of a dogmatic theology or ideology will reveal how necessary this is, yet any objective look at disparate cultures will reveal how subjective - and frightening - this can be. The hope of the future is that fundamentalist evangelism will be enacted by appeal to reason rather than dictates of law. Ideally, people would choose to perform 'right' acts for their own sake, rather than out of fear of punishment. <#> Will the Texas Rangers ever entice good pitchers, given that their ballpark is hitter friendly? <#> Since the move to the Ballpark at Arlington, the Rangers have had pitchers selected to attend the All-Star game, which suggests it's not a question of pitchers' willingness to play there, but greater concerns about contracts or the future of the franchise. Kenny Rogers, Jeff Zimmerman, Aaron Sele, Roger Pavlik, and John Wetteland were all excellent All-Star selections in spite of the "hitter friendly" park. It's more about the team and management that keeps pitchers away, and less about the stadium.

<#> Whats the difference between gas operated and blowback operated Guns?? <#> A gas-operated firearm operates on a similar principle of a car engine. When a round is fired, expanding gases propel the bullet out of the barrel, along with most of the gas. But a small portion of the gas is siphoned off into a seperate gas tube either above or below the barrel and forces a piston backwards, which in turn pushes back the bolt carrier, ejects the spent brass, and is pushed forward again by a recoil spring, stripping a fresh round out of the magazine and pushes it into the chamber to be fired. A blowback- operated firearm is comparatively simple. When a round is fired in a blowback-operated firearm, the bolt is forced back by the recoil energy of the spent brass itself, eliminating the need for a piston. The downiside to the simpler design is increased recoil, since not all of the expanding gases in a gas-operated firearm actually exit the barrel, there is less gas pushing the muzzle up and back. the blowback system is often found on smaller weapons, such as pistols and sub-machine guns, because it is simpler and requires fewer parts, which allows a weapon to be small and lightweight. <#> What are ways to relieve stress? <#> Exercise and dieting <#> what is speed windsurfing? <#> In High sped you should use your body balance together wih your legs.

<#> Using CSS, how would I make an image glued to the bottom of the browser and centered? <#> There is no way to do this in CSS, however, you can write a javascript that does something like <script> x.style.position = "Absolute"; //Sets x's positioning to Absolute x.style.top = document.innerHeight - 100; //Sets x's Y position to the exact height of the browser, replace 100 with the actual height of the image </script> The said <img> tag would have to have Name="x" and ID="x" specified. I have not attempted to execute the above script, it's just an example of what you could try, but you're going to have to do some research to make it compatible with multiple browsers, and have it automatically execute the script if the user resizes their window. Alternatively, put the whole site inside a table, and have an extra table row hold the image below the rest of the document. <#> I need a cv. in english? <#> You mean you want to write one?

<#> why do clouds turn dark when its about to rain? <#> A cloud compsition is primarlly just billions of drops of water or ice. When such a cloud formation has an influx of water/ice, ie it's mass increases to include more water/ice, light finds it hard to pass through the mass, thus making it darker for us to see. In a normal cloud, light can pass through the water/ice within the cloud and we see it as a distorted white/bluish/greyish/greenish hue. But when the cloud is too thick with water/ice, the light doesn't pass through so easily and we see a darker spectrum. <#> Why old people always are complaining ? <#> Well, if you think about having illnesses and always being worried about health, older people might always want to pester people to let go of all the emotions bottled up inside of them. They have different points of views, like your example about the ice cream. So if you feel like you have a major problem with them, then try to put yourself in their shoes. <#> what is inferred reality and class inclusion? <#> Inferred reality is defined as the meaning of stimuli in the context of relevant information. "Inclusion" is a term used by educators to describe a philosophical approach to the education of children with disabilities. This philosophical paradigm maintains that a child with disabilities -- even severe disabilities such as profound mental retardation -- should be placed in a regular classroom for most or all of the school day (Ayres & Meyer, 1992; Cloud, 1992; Conn, 1992; Shanker, 1993; Wolak, York, & Corbin, 1992). Drawing from the legacy of the Civil Rights movement, advocates of full inclusion for children with disabilities state that "Inclusion is the ultimate goal for all children with disabilities regardless of their disabilities or current placement" (New York State Education Department, cited in Shanker, 1993). This is not without controversy. Among the most vocal opponents are those in the deaf community, who feel that their culture and language are at stake (Cohen, 1994) and the Learning Disabilities Association of America, which believes that mandatory full inclusion policies violate federal law ("Full inclusion," undated). <#> what is the answer to: P=2L + 2w for w ? <#> That depends on what L and P are.

<#> I want to become christian? <#> Over the past couple of years, I made many friends from China - most of whom are raised with no religion. And they're all great and wonderful individuals who don't seem to lack anything. I have had at times to explain certain things about the Christian religion to them, which is the dominant religion in the western world, and its practice can raise questions to the uninitiated. If you seek spirituality, you should not limit your self to exploring one religion. Why do you dismiss Buddhism, Taoism etc? You should read about everything, speak to ministers and allow your self to form an opinion. My advice is, to not let anyone convert you into something by sweet talking you, or promising the kingdom of God. Learn, and let it be your choice. If I were in your shoes, I would try to get all the facts and then decide on my own. Meet religious people and ask them how they practice religion and what it means to them. Your safest choice not to be tricked into a cult etc would be to go for a well established and long standing dogma or denomination. In Christianity, since that is your question, the major two denominations are Catholic and Orthodox, which both came after a separation of the church between west (Catholic) and east (Orthodox). You can learn more on different religions by following the links below. I know in China most Christians are unitarian, since in 1949 the Government forced denominations to form one single church or leave China. Remember learn before you act, and don't let anyone influence you. My opinion is that once you decide on something you should stick by it. Should you make the conscious choice to have Faith in a religion. So being absolutely certain is essential. Changing religions in the manner you'd change shirts is not ideal. Because then Faith - which is the most important element in every religion - never gets too strong to mean anything in your life. Whatever choice you make - good luck to you! <#> How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? <#> i guess that would depend on the woodchuck...is he lazy or energetic,healthy or sick, etc...?? <#> What a son give best gift to his mother? <#> a hand made card for her with lots of love <#> how would u drop a raw egg on a concrete floor without breaking it? <#> Put the egg in the middle of a 1 foot square styrene block.

What is another good resource for academic research? <#> My answer is google for the following reasons: Pros of Google: As a seach engine, google has the best relevance and presents the results in a way that I find easy to decide what pages are best for me. Its the best in terms of researching information. For makin money, a #1 on google is worth many times more than a #1 on yahoo. Yahoo! blocks the top of the SERPs with sponsored ads. Google also has a neat interface. Yahoo is not bad too, but its interface is not that neat. The reason for that being it to be a portal. I think a nice interface is very important since people will come back more often if so. The relevance of search results make its 'Feeling Lucky' feature pretty useful. Firefox address bar by defaults goes to 1 site listed on your search results. Google has tried to stay away from Spam/ misleading sites better than other search engines. Cons of Google: However, few problems with google, its web crawler dosen't capture hyperlinks from PDF files stored on net, a feature which Yahoo provides. Also, Google at present does not provide an index for video aggregation through the web crawler, a feature which Altavista provided since 1999. The problems include accuracy of the media file. That is the reason for providing Google Videos where users have to submit videos. Due to a larger share of 'searching' community, Google has been targeted by bloggers by planting Google Bombs. Because most bloggers mention the word failure with President Bush's name, the #1 site on searching Failure is the website of President Bush. Yahoo is doing pretty good research in Search Technologies, for example Grokker. http://www.grokker.com/grokker.html?query=Anirudh%20Koul&Yahoo=true&Daypop=true&numResults=250 <#> does the va pay for dental work? <#> Only if the dental condition is related to, or as a direct result of active duty service.

Who can you believe? Since we go in each direction once, the ORDER of the moves doesn't matter. Draw a grid. Start at 0,0 10 North means 0,10 You are due north 10 miles. Then we come back south 6 miles, so we're 4 miles north of where we started. 4 miles east and then 7 west means we're 3 miles west of the starting point. Draw a right triangle 4 miles up and then 3 miles to the left of the starting point. We want the hypotenuse of the triangle whose sides are 3 and 4.

<#> tell me more about hannuka? <#> Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, is one of the most joyous times of the Jewish year. The reason for the celebration is twofold (both dating back to c. 165 BCE): the miraculous military victory of the small, ill-equipped Jewish army over the ruling Greek Syrians, who had banned the Jewish religion and desecrated the Temple; and the miracle of the small cruse of consecrated oil, which burned for eight days in the Temple's menorah instead of just one. Hanukkah is celebrated by: a. lighting a menorah for eight nights with olive oil or wax candles; one on the first night and an additional one each succeeding night b. eating food fried in oil, especially potato pancakes (latkes) and jelly doughnuts (sufganiyot) c. playing with a dreidel, a four-sided top; the player wins or loses money depending on which side it lands on (each is marked with a different Hebrew letter) In 1997, a 60-foot, 18-ton menorah was built in Latrun, Israel; a rabbi was lifted by crane each night to kindle the lights. The same year, a 12-foot pyramid of 2,400 jelly doughnuts was built near Afula, Israel; the pastries were later distributed to soldiers serving near the northern border. Hanukkah began this year (2005) on the evening of December 25.

<#> non POSIX-compatible C functions? <#> You can think of POSIX as a runtime standard for C, but for many reasons, some language/operating system providers decide to either not provide a determined function, change its parameters, its name or some criterion on how to handle the request. If a certain operating system does support the full set of POSIX operations with the standard names, parameters and criteria, then they may certify that with IEEE. That allows you to create a C program and, as long as you use only POSIX functions, it's bound to work correctly on any POSIX-conformant system. Hope it helped!

It is owned by the French government and hangs in the Mus�e du Louvre in Paris. The painting shows a woman looking out at the viewer with what is often described as an "enigmatic smile"."

<#> Can the electorial college override the majority of the vote? if so, why? <#> Yes. It is possible for the winner of an election to get as little as 39% of the vote, and carry the electoral college. This happens when the winner wins by only a handful of votes in states he or she wins, and losing completely in all other states. This is caused by the lack of proportional voting in states. A states electoral votes, with exceptions of Maine and Nebraska, either go all to one candidate or the other. If half the state votes one way, and half the other, the smaller half is effectively not counted. With proportional voting, or district-level voting, this remains true, but it can only affect one vote per state, and is as likely to fall one way as the other.

<#> how is the RIAA catching individuals downloading pirated music? <#> The short answer is, yes, of course they are tracking IPs. The long answer to your other question follows. It is a straight-forward, multistep process. 1. Encourage laws that require internet service and server providers to log IP addresses (9/11 pretty much nailed that one for them). 2. Collect proof of misdeeds for each particular P2P service that is allowing illegal file copying. 3. Sue the P2P service and demand they hand over IP addresses of offending users. 4. Trace IP addresses back to users. Remember, the businesses involved all have to keep records. Also, some programs embed identifying information in them. Pretty much any Microsoft program, at least one that uses OLE Structured Storage, creates these huge ID numbers in them called a GUID for each item in the file. Part of that ID number is their IP address or the unique hardware ID of their interface card, I forget which. Also, the encoding process which generates an MP3 file from a CD can store some information in the file which can be used to piece together who created it. It may not be enough to find who did it but it is probably helpful in proving a given computer did it once they have that computer. There is probably more going on but you get the idea. At each point along the way, from creating the song file, to transfering it to a service, and downloading it from a service, bits of information are accumulating. The more times a person does each of these things, the easier it is to find them, prove it is them, and notice that they are doing a lot. And, just as important, more evidence is accumulating which is used in court as proof of a crime being committed and intent to commit a crime on the part of the peope being sued by the RIAA - or whoever. So, either listen to: music you buy, public domain music, music from the radio - or compose/play your own. You probably don't like it when you found out someone copied off your test at school. It makes them get a higher grade than they deserve and if the test is graded on a curve, your A- work can wind up being counted as a B+. Well, songwriters composed that music and/or lyrics, musicians practiced and learned to play that song and paid to use a recording studio to perform it in. When people don't pay to hear that play, the musicians still have their expenses to pay but no royalty check to pay for it. They lose money doing what they love. Even if someone cannot afford a whole album they can still afford to buy their favorite song for 99 cents.

<#> Does a root canal treatment pose a potential health threat? <#> I had a root canal two years ago, and practically drove myself insane worrying about the potential health impact of it down the road. Other than the first few days, I've never had any significant pain or discomfort. I've come to the realization that since I'm only in my early 30's, I'd rather take the risk with a root canal and keep my tooth, rather than have it yanked and either be toothless or pay a lot of money for other options that would still involve putting foreign substances in my mouth. So, I guess my recommendation regarding root canals would be that if you are a healthy person, with a good immune system, a root canal would probably be a good option, rather than losing your tooth. But, I do believe they could impact your health, and the decision should be an informed one. <#> how do i plan a wedding? <#> The first place you should start is to visit: www.theknot.com They have more information than you could ever find anywhere else.

If you absolutely *have* to defend yourself from imminent physical assault, remember that the law favors even-handed responses, meaning don't defend yourself with a deadly weapon unless you're threatened with one. <#> how to produce good perfume? <#> By smelling other perfumes and creating your own style. <#> Do you or anyone you know have Tourette Syndrome? <#> Yes, I have a 16-yr old male friend who has that, he has facial twitches, although there are different symptoms of Tourettes. <#> How much would you pay? <#> someone couldn't pay me to take it. <#> Using the numbers 1, 3, 4, and 6, arrive at the number 24. no exponents or square roots.? <#> 6/(1-3/4)=24 <#> How'd a woman act? <#> think about how you would feel if someone you love would go to another love and may forget about you and your kids

Most likely inspired by the Latin square invention of Leonhard Euler, Garns added a third dimension (the regional restriction) to the mathematical construct and (unlike Euler) presented the creation as a puzzle, providing a partially-completed grid and requiring the solver to fill in the rest. The puzzle was first published in New York by the specialist puzzle publisher Dell Magazines in its magazine Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games, under the title Number Place (which we can only assume Garns named it). It was popularized by Nikoli in Japan, who gave it the current name of "Sudoku. <#> why do people speak about dying of old age when there is really no such thing? <#> Because your intellect can not handle the process of death.

<#> what good laptop can recommend a college student ? <#> I would check with your school to see if they have a existing relationship with a PC manufacturer. Many times colleges get a killer deal when you consider they also include insurance and maintenance for the whole time you are in school. If they have no deals or you don't like their deal, then I can recommend a ThinkPad. They are not the latest and greatest technology, but they are solid and easy to get serviced. We have had a few ThinkPads go down, but the local service companies handled the warranty repair without me having to ship the thing in, usually within a day or so. But again, I know some Universities that handle repairs in house as well, even giving out loaners while the repair happens, so it's worth it to find out what your school offers. <#> what is the amperage and watts of a toshiba laptop satellite computer bought in 2004,with 110volt supply? <#> 8 amps 900(880) watts <#> where can i listen to free baltimore club music? <#> if u want to listen to each song or stream separately u should check out this page from this artist u are intersted in. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=121517 go here if u want to listen to the other songs or radio station. plenty good luck click on the first radio station it should play some of the music u want make sure if your using internet explorer to enable javascript so the player will come up and play for u http://www.soundclick.com/stations/stations.cfm?id=187803 <#> In which country you have to work the fewer hours? <#> Just about anywhere has jobs where you have to work shorter hours vs. longer hours.

A forked stick, coathanger, or similar divining rod is used by a believer with the gift of dowsing. It can be used to find an underground pool of water, a underground stream, or a leak according to believers. The rod held rigidly and directly horizontal in front of the Dowser will jerk down violently at the present of water and often peeling bark. A Dowser will use a normally use grid pattern and walk the surface to find the water. Tradition says that minerals have also been found. Here in Appalachia where I live, a peach twig is preferred.

<#> What is RSS? <#> "RSS" stands for Really Simple Syndication, Rich Site Summary, and/or Rockdale, Sandow, and Southern (Railroad) (if you trust the good folks at AcronymFinder.com). Really Simple Syndication is probably the most widely agreed-upon choice. As far as we are concerned, all three acronyms do an inadequate job of describing what RSS actually is: RSS is a standard for publishing regular updates to web-based content. Using this standard, Web publishers provide updates, such as the latest news headlines or weblog postings. Meanwhile, consumers use RSS reader applications (or one of a growing number of online services) to collect and monitor their favorite feeds in one place (RSS content from a publisher, viewed in one of these readers, is often called a "feed"). If you want to collect and browse feeds you have many choices, but there are two primary categories of feed reading applications: installable desktop programs and online services. There are many desktop applications for Windows and Mac OS system users, but two of our favorites are FeedDemon (Windows) and NetNewsWire (Mac OS X). Both require a small purchase price but are tops for ease of use and ship with dozens of feeds pre-loaded so you can explore the syndication "universe" right away. Free readers are available as well; a search for "RSS Reader" at popular search sites will yield many results. If you would prefer to use an online service to track and manage your feeds, you have the advantage of being able to access your feed updates anywhere you use a web browser (and in some cases, on mobile devices). Also, any upgrades or new features are added automatically. The trade-off comes in different (some would say fewer) features and slightly slower performance versus desktop systems. NewsGator, Bloglines, and new RSS content capabilities in My Yahoo! are probably the three best-known examples of web-based feed reading services. <#> What were smurf toys originally called?

<#> Any help for aging thin cancerous skin that's sensitive to almost everything? <#> Please listen to me as I am only here to help. You have to do exactly as I say. Go to the website and look up CESIUM CHLORIDE AND OXYGEN DROPS. The other ones could be green algae and paw paw, etc etc. These medicines are known in the medical field, but they dont talk about it. Because these are natural remedies with no toxic chemicals in it. So, thats why they cant profit from it. If they cant profit, they dont sell. I mean, some are even made of mushrooms that you can grow anywhere. Why would they promote this? These doctors will never make money. So, the FDA has put a restriction on these remedies. They cannot say anything about cancer on their labels. They have to be sold as vitamins or health products. But, the website can tell you how to use it, and what cancers it can cure. See how they are suppressing the world? In fact these treatments can cure up to 90% of patients that doctors have already given up on. Chemo therapy is not a therapy. I would rather die then go through with that. They try to kill your cancer with chemicals and radiation. If they kill all your cancer before they kill all your body cells, then they consider you cured. But, what about after that? Your body is damaged and your health deteriorated. There is almost no recovery to this. How many people you know live past 5 years after chemo therapy? Not much if any at all. And compared to the masses, its almost nothing. What do you have to live with after chemo? Your body is not sunburned, its practically microwaved. CESIUM CHLORIDE can be taken with OXYGEN DROPS. Go to the websites. You can go to these websites and they will give a whole package for you to buy. You can take these medicines over the course of 3 months, a year, or whatever they prescribe. After your mom is feeling well, taking it for about 2 months or more, you can almost garauntee that you are cured. But, you have to listen to them and take it till they tell you to stop. They even cure certain 3rd stage cancers with a 90% success rate. But, time is of the essence so I urge you to buy it as soon as possible and take next day delivery or something. I wish you the best of luck in the future. But, heed my warning, do not go into chemo. They always tell you something fuzzy like, oh..you might live another 2 years, or you might die right away..etc etc...Then how do you decide? But, they always say that people who have been on chemo will only live a maximum of X years after that. So, if you do exactly what I say, not only will you have a chance to survive, but all your friends that may get cancer...

<#> 'Intelligent Design' should be better named 'Malevolent Design'. Do you agree ? <#> Intelligent design embodies a theology that features a god who is malicious toward people. 1. When you look below the surface, the world is filled with evidence that leads open minded people to conclude that evolution has occurred. This evidence comes from the fields of paleontology, paleogeography, biogeography, molecular biology, genetics, embryology, and probably lots of others. The god of intelligent design would have had to rig this evidence in favor of misleading us. 2. If the god of intelligent design violates the natural laws he created to create living organisms and to create false evidence, how often does he do this? For example, maybe two seconds ago, he created the us and the entire universe, including this message up to this point, my memory of having written it, and your memory of having read it thus far. If god violates natural law, anything is possible. 3. If the intelligent design god is going to create the world in any whimsical way, then he created all the suffering that we endure when he could have created a world without suffering. Either he willfuly created our suffering, or he is an inept creator. 4. If the existence of complex organisms proves the existence of an intelligent designer, then the existence of the intelligent designer proves the existence of a more intelligent designer who created him. ...and an even more intelligent designer who created the second one. ...and an even more than more intelligent designer who created the thrid one. ...and so on, ad infinitum. Which one should be worshiped? What will happen to our souls if we worship the wrong one? 5. I'm sure that people better versed in philosophy and theology could add many more reasons to believe that the god of intelligent design is malicious. <#> what is customer behaviour? <#> Or, you could get a job at 7-11 and observe for yourself. <#> I CAN'T GET THE FULL WIDTH OF MY SCREEN,HEIGHTH IS FINE? <#> Press buttons on your monitor to adjust it.

<#> what is global warming? <#> Global warming is the theory that the Earth's atmosphere and oceans are getting warmer due to pollution and other environmental factors induced by humans. Some of the factors include burning fossil fuels (oil) and deforrestation (trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere). There's discussion that if the effects of global warming aren't counteracted, ice caps will melt, sea levels will rise, and weather patterns could be altered. Low-lying coastal cities such as Bangladesh or New Orleans could be wiped out within the next 100 years as sea levels rise. Weather patterns could be altered, bringing drought to areas that used to have lots of rain, and rain to areas that used to be arid. Read any of the sources below, and you'll find more information about the causes and potential effects. It's definitely something that shouldn't be ignored. <#> Why should we be forced to learn another language? <#> i agree with you; noone should be able to immigrate into this country unless they can first prove some sufficiency in speaking the english laguage. english is rapidly becoming the international laguage of business, so why should we not require everyone here to speak the language in order to interact in our society? <#> if you have been convicted of a felony, are you eligible to take out student loans? <#> Depends...if its a drug felony, and you complete the sentence, then have proof of treatment for it(a letter from your shrink or something) then you ARE eligible.

In a film camera, the light that gets through the shutter while it is open hits film, which is chemically sensitive to light. Digital cameras use a charged-couple device instead. This is a photosensitive (sensitive to light) computer chip, which converts the light energy into information that can be read by a computer.

<#> What is Linux? <#> Linux Pronounced lee-nucks or lih-nucks. A freely-distributable open source operating system that runs on a number of hardware platforms. The Linux kernel was developed mainly by Linus Torvalds. Because it's free, and because it runs on many platforms, including PCs and Macintoshes, Linux has become an extremely popular alternative to proprietary operating systems. Linux is a computer operating system and its kernel. It is one of the most prominent examples of free software and of open-source development: unlike proprietary operating systems such as Windows and Mac OS, all of its underlying source code is available to the public and anyone can freely use, modify, and redistribute it. In the narrowest sense, the term Linux refers to the Linux kernel, but it is commonly used to describe entire Unix-like operating systems (also known as GNU/Linux) that are based on the Linux kernel combined with libraries and tools from the GNU Project and other sources. Most broadly, a Linux distribution bundles large quantities of application software with the core system, and provides more user-friendly installation and upgrades. Initially, Linux was primarily developed and used by individual enthusiasts. Since then, Linux has gained the support of major corporations such as IBM, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and Novell for use in servers and is gaining popularity in the desktop market. Proponents and analysts attribute this success to its vendor independence (the opposite of vendor lock-in), low cost, security, and reliability. Linux was originally developed for Intel 386 microprocessors and now supports all popular computer architectures (and several obscure ones). It is deployed in applications ranging from embedded systems (such as mobile phones and personal video recorders) to personal computers to supercomputers.

The Marine Corps' war was in the Pacific and all war plans regarding the employment of Marines reflected that. Nevertheless, because the Marine Corps was part of the naval establishment, it had responsibility also for furnishing men to parts of the Navy assigned to the European and Mediterranean theaters and to the operations conducted there. These were not large Marine formations, but were, for the most part, individual Marines and small detachments assigned to guard duty at the barracks and naval operating bases established in the United Kingdom, or men assigned as "sea-going" Marines in the detachments of the large fighting ships. Another category was filled by those intrepid Marines who volunteered for duty with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), to undertake covert operations with the underground against the Nazis in the occupied countries of Europe and North Africa. <#> why the movie brokeback mountain, hasn't been shown in all movie theaters? <#> Cowboys have become an American icon, the very essence of manhood. The idea that cowboys could be just normal everyday people with everyday problems is disturbing to a lot of the general public. The thought that for example "the Marlboro Man", could be homosexual or bisexual ruins the mystique and romantic ideology of the whole post civil war era, Go West Young Man theme that our culture has come to take as the honest to God truth. The fact that homosexuality has been around since before the Ancient Greco-Roman eras and was commonly accepted, even encouraged has been forgotten or buried under our more "MORALISTIC" current society. The premise of this movie is totally realistic, and i look forward to seeing it, even though i am a happily married cowgirl to a most-definitely heterosexual equally happy cowboy. Grow up people, accept and embrace the differences in our society or at the very least keep your fire and brimstone speeches and attitudes out of the theatres and in the church houses where they belong!

<#> what is the pre-n router? <#> Many organizations utilize wireless local area networks (WLAN) because of their convenience. The trade-off made is convenience for speed. Today?s most advanced wireless standard, IEEE 802.11g, operates at roughly half the speed of the most common 100 Mbit/s wired LAN. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) began to address this speed differential in the middle of 2003. Their vision was IEEE 802.11n, which would provide speeds equal to or greater than 100 Mbit/s LANs. Their work has yet to be completed. The lack of approval has led some to release so-called Pre-N equipment, which seeks to give the benefits of the 802.11n standard without an official standard. Because there is no official standard, implementing these products has future implications to customers. Standards Standards are made for very specific reasons. Foremost, they ensure that devices can operate with devices made by other manufacturers. Essentially, when a company releases a product before the ratification of the standard, they must infer what the IEEE is going to set. These inferences mean that the product may be incompatible with the final standard. If this does occur, an organization may be locked in to purchasing only identical hardware to that which they own. This would ensure compatibility. Implications Another possibility if incompatibility exists is the release of an upgrade. The company would not be required to release updates, but if it did, there would be considerable work for the support groups. This may include individually upgrading each device, a very time consuming proposition. Despite the time commitment, an upgrade would be the most responsible course of action for the company because the customers would be able to choose any 802.11n solution for their purposes. Implementation If an organization chooses to implement the Pre-N technology, the theory is the same as previous wireless network implementations. The setup would most likely begin with a router. This would be hard-wired to the Internet connection. There are also wired ports on the rear of the router. These allow any wired device to be included on the network. The router would then provide access to any device in its range with a compatible network interface card (NIC.) Currently, NICs exist for both desktop computers and notebook computers. Advantages/Conclusions The advantages to using this technology are clear. It will allow computers to connect easily to wireless networks, without sacrificing the speed possible with a wired connection. Another concern that comes up is that gigabit Ethernet is also available. If an organization were to implement this, 802.11n would again be just one-tenth of the speed. The implementation of any wireless network must be carefully considered. Regardless of which standard is followed, the security threats are common. Data is still being broadcast over radio frequencies. Before deciding whether to use Pre-N technology, one must first decide whether wireless is appropriate for their application. Only then should 802.11n be considered.

<#> Is DNA the real map from where we come from and where we go to???? <#> Interestingly phrased. Yes, I would say that DNA is the map from where we are coming from. Researchers are using DNA and the relative similarities of certain sequences to deduce just how long ago we diverged from previous forms. What I mean by that: evolutionarily speaking, everything living on earth today can be traced back to a common ancestor (LUCA - Last Universal Common Ancestor). The bigger the difference in the sequences of two species DNA, the longer ago we diverged from that common ancestor and the less related the two organims are to one another -- meaning there are more intermediate organisms between their current status and the ancient ancestor shard by the two. We can use DNA not just to illucidate species broad histories, but individual histories too. We have a very unique piece of DNA in our cells. It is contained in our mitochandria. Mitochandria are little energy plants in our cells. The DNA in mitochandria, unlike the rest of our DNA, as we know it, is passed down only from our mothers. So, based on that, this DNA is less diverse. Any differences in this DNA has to come from mutations. Because the mutation rate is relatively slow, there are key "markers" that have appeared from time to time in specific subgroups of humans over time. So the markers you contain in your mitochandrial DNA are indicative of where which subgroup you are a decenent of. These subrgroups can be indicative of races, but as the more information we collect on the various markers from around the world, we'll be able to determine specific regions from which your ancestors lived and migrated to throughout history. As far as a map to where we are going, I would say that DNA is that too, but that is less able to be predicted. Our DNA will definitely determine how our species continues to evolve. Let me give you an example. Let's say that this bird flu pandemic that the media has been stressing over the past 6 months actually does happen sometime in the future. An individuals ability to survive such a pandemic will be directly linked to their specific genetic sequence. Some will be innately immune to infection and thus will probably survive the pandemic. Others will not be so lucky. If the speculation is true and hundreds of millions of people do die, their genetic makeup will be eliminated -- thus those genes that make up those people will be removed from the general gene pool. The remainder of people will determine the fate of humankind. If another pandemic was to follow years down the road and the genes that were left over were succeptble to that infection, it could mean the end of the human race. More than likely though, there will always be some subset of the population whose genes allow for survival. From there, the future of humans depends on how overall fit those genes are.

Rather than establishing the relationship first and allowing the loving to be the icing on the cake. It's kind of like when we were kids and played make believe.

His main occupations and services rendered were in Royal Prussia, as church canon, governor and administrator, economist, jurist, physician, astrologer and military leader (conducting defense against the Teutonic Order). Amid all his responsibilities, he treated astronomy as a hobby. His theory about the Sun as the center of the Universe, opposed to the traditional geocentric theory that placed Earth at the center, is considered one of the most important discoveries ever, and is the fundamental starting point of modern astronomy and modern science itself (it inaugurated a scientific revolution). His theory affected many aspects of human life, opening the door for young astronomers, scientists and scholars to take a skeptical attitude toward established dogma." <#> How do I get a job in Pharm. sales? <#> Go to a small college for a couple of years working as an intern at a store somewhere. <#> looking for 1970's group called War? <#> I think it was Edwin Starr who recorded a song callled War.

<#> What are the chances that Israel launches an attack to prevent Iranian nuclear ambitions? <#> Israel will launch an attack on Iran only if it feels that it is the only way to prevent an attack. I could see Israel bombing a vehicle that was to supply enriched Uranium if they felt that bombing this vehicle would delay Iran's Nuclear plans by some significant aount of time. Note that when Israel launched an attack in Iraq's Nuclear plant (condemned by the world at the time) they made sure to do so when they knew there would be minimal casualties on the ground. <#> what is pi times 365 devided by the square root of 16? <#> To 12 decimal places, the answer is: 286.670329640069 <#> when will undertaker of WWE ...will really die?? <#> Next wrestlemania <#> How can I get very rich quickly and easily? <#> Send me $1,000 and I'll get back to you (just kidding). There are no successful get rich quick schemes. What works for one person will not work for most others.

At the age of 29 you should first learn to save some between those paychecks. Find out what you spend your money on and spend less of it. Do not use credit except for home mortgage, and prepare for regular maintenance. Once you are able to save you will be able to invest in inovative minimal risk investments that will grow over time.

I've watched dr dinos vids and as a scientist I see a lot of cool stuff, but also a bunch of flaws - I loved his work on dinosaurs though.

Your credit report will reflect the account as a paid settlement. If you have medical bills you should make a payment to them every month, even if it is only ten dollars. Most hospitals and doctors offices will not send your account to collections if you are still making small payments each month. If you owe a credit card company they usually agree to drop interest charges or late payments in return for a lump sum payment to pay off your account. If you still want a loan to pay your debts you should consider a secured loan from a bank or credit union. They use your house or automobile as collateral until you pay off the loan. Your other choice is to have a credit worthy friend or relative who has good credit co-sign the loan with you. The only down side is that if you are late making loan payments or stop paying on it the co-signer gets his or her credit hurt as well as yours. <#> Online press release? <#> You only need to submit the release to one place and it will be picked up around the planet. http://www.eworldwire.com/ <#> Do you know of any good resources for downloading Mac shareware? <#> Also take a look at Majorgeeks.

<#> How do I get motivated to go to the GYM? <#> Passion I've received the question about motivation to workout several times. A bit back, I emailed a fellow who simply wished the question of motivation could be answered. I think the 2 most frequently asked questions that I address in my Beginners' Guide to Fitness and Bodybuilding are: 1) How do I get motivated? 2) How soon can I expect to see results? After doing some research today, I think the ultimate key to motivation is: Passion Yes, p-a-s-s-i-o-n Without that burning desire to succeed, most things will elude you. Desire comes from an interest that can grow into passion. If you have a passion for something, you'll do whatever it takes to be successful. Without it, you'll only be partly committed and only partly successful. Take a look at any major sports star or entertainer, the passion they have for their sport is obvious. It is what drives them to succeed and motivates them to give 100%. Without it, they would just be average. To be successful in the pursuit of fitness, it needs to become a passion. So if you don't have a strong interest in becoming fit, I suggest you find other activities you do enjoy. Getting fit isn't something anybody does well as a passing interest. But do realize that you need to know more about fitness in general before you can develop a real enthusiasm for it. In my case, as I kept learning more and more about training, nutrition and supplements, my interest really started to grow. And understand that you don't need to be obsessive about working out. You can be very successful just doing 45 minutes a session, 3 times a week. You don't need to live in the gym or spend every second thinking about working out. <#> Wasn't Jesus a Gnostic or an Essenes? <#> Gnosticism was long thought to be a corruption of Christianity but more current thinking is that its roots are pre-Christian. It is highly unlikely, though not absolutely proveable that Jesus was not a Gnostic. The Essenes were a splinter Jewish sect so that was around during Jesus' life. There are some who believe that Jesus was an Essene. Others believe he spent some of his wilderness time with Essenes. Still others think that he never encountered yhe Essenes. Most who compare the recorded thoughts of Jesus with the recorded Essene tracts believe that they are incompatible. It is very unlikely, though not absolutely proveable, that Jesus was ever an Essene.

<#> Why is it so Foggy in the Central Valley of California? <#> The fog that develops in the Central Valley is called Radiation Fog. The page listed 1st as a source states: "Climatologically important conditions for radiation-fog development in the Central Valley include cool 1600 LST surface temperatures, moisture availability as reflected by 1600 LST dewpoint temperatures, early evening surface cooling trends, the rapidity with which mean relative humidity reaches 90%, and the presence of cool, dry air aloft (700?500 hPa)."

<#> Does cancelling store credit cards help or hurt your credit score? <#> It may actually hurt you FICO score. One part of the score is the amount of credit used versus the amount of credit available. So, let's take a look at an example: $200 total credit available $175 total credit used Ratio of 0.875 (high) $5000 total credit available $1000 total credit used Ration of 0.2 (relatively low) The bottom ration of 0.2 is more ideal. Credit companies have found that the higher the ratio a person has (they get credit and max it out), the less likely they will pay it off. Of course some store credit cards do not report to the credit bureaua unless you go to collections. So it doesn?t matter what you do with them as long as you don?t stop paying them. It?s best to just hold on to them. You might even consider having the credit limit taken up (but don?t max them out). It?s not how much of a limit you have that?s important to the credit companies, it how much of it you?re using. Also you may want to consider the fact that although your credit score may not be affected very much if you cancel your card, if the store reports to the credit bureau, other companies will see that you canceled a card. To other companies, this means if they give you credit, you?re likely to just cancel it. Meaning you may be more of a hassle than you?re worth. Hope this helps. <#> How far did you go in Math? Algebra? Calulus 18? lol, Does it help you in life today? Or was it worthless? <#> The farthest I went was Calculus II in college. Do I use advanced calculus in my everyday life? No. However, it's not the idea of using it in everyday life, it's the problem solving skills you gain that make you smarter. It helps to show you there are many ways to approach problems and helps you choose the best way to try solving them. Don't give up on difficult subjects like these in school. While you may not use the concepts day to day, you'll use problems solving skills every day for the rest of your life. <#> What floats besides wood (ala Monty Python)? <#> Bread, Apples, Very small rocks, Cider, Great gravy, Cherries, Mud, Churches, Lead & A duck. :o)

<#> Is President Bush insane? <#> Nah. Isn't it normal to say you're a religious person while starting an unnecessary war that costs billions of dollars and over 2,000 American lives?

<#> what kind of things did people do to get motivated to lose weight im having a hard time? <#> Motivation is a hard thing. I've lost right at 150 lbs. & I'll try to explain the thought processes that led up to the weight loss, hoping to help you in the process :) For me, part of it was a result of marrying my husband. He could care what I looked like but for some silly reason, I suddenly developed a sense of vanity...don't know why. Maybe because I am older than him, I don't know. Anyway, here's the real meat of it. To tell the complete & honest truth, I was getting dressed one day & having one of those days where you don't feel comfortable in your own skin; nothing wanted to sit correctly on my body, I was in a bad mood to begin with &, well, I was just having a case of "bad nasties". I went through the entire day in this state & ended up walking by a store...Victoria's Secret, to be exact. My husband, the saint who managed to put up with me that day, commented on something in the window. He mentioned that he liked the item & wondered if he might find a place on the internet that made it in my size. It didn't make me feel bad, per se, because he accepts my size as a fact of life & has never been mean about it. But it just hit me oddly. I looked at the outfit &, though I knew that we could probably find it online somewhere, the idea of how I might look in it really bothered me. That's what did it...that's what started the whole process. By the time we got home that night, my thoughts had worked around to the fact that I was tired of always being tired, tired of always feeling bad, tired of always not fitting into the clothes that I'd like to wear. I was tired of being fat, plain & simple. Even so, there was no easy way to take care of it &, having been overweight all my life, I knew that a simple diet wasn't going to cut it for me. So, here's how I handled it... When I eat, I eat ANYTHING I want...I'm not kidding. True, I try to keep mindful of what I'm eating but I also don't beat myself up about it. If I want a banana split, I darned well have a banana split. When I looked at what I ate, when & how I ate it, I realized that I ate in cycles during the month &, though I love sweets, my natural inclination was not to have them very often. The big problem for me was breads. Anyway, I just kept mindful of HOW MUCH I ate, not so much what I ate. I trained myself to realize when I was full & to make myself stop eating. As for this trick, you must always remember that it takes about twenty minutes for your stomach to signal your brain that it is full. So, I'd eat slowly, chew my food twice as long as I used to &, sure enough, I felt full rather quickly. Once I had that under control & truly listened to my body, I was constantly giving away nearly half of my food every meal. It has taken me a number of years to lose the weight & the last 50 pounds has brought along a new re-evaluation of how small my stomach has gotten - we've wasted quite a bit of food over the past few months in that little quest - but I've gotten to the point now that I can go to Victoria's Secret & at least try on a few things :) I'm not into what I really want to wear but, hey, you take the successes where you can. As I started to lose weight, the main thing that kept me going was how well I felt as well as clothes. I realized that, while I am not your regular clothes horse, I like the little game of moving from one size to another. I was in tears the first day & was able to purchase clothes off of the rack &, recently, when I was able to buy panties off of the racks instead of in the packages...OMG, I thought my husband was going to go insane. It took me over four hours to try on undergarments until I was satisfied with the look & fit! But you know what? I feel better about my body than I ever have & I thoroughly enjoy the look my husband gets on his face when he sees me! That's motivation, I can promise you... My suggestion after all

<#> what online email sites (yahoo, hotmail, etc) let you access other pop and imap accounts? <#> you should be able to access your pop account through webmail. if you have your own domain, you should be able to access a control panel where you can check webmail through programs like Horde and squirrelmail. if it is a work account, talk to a tech person at your work to find out how you can access the account using a browser. most ISPs (earthlink, verizon) also have webmail features. call tech support or visit the company site to find out how. <#> If you hold it to tight it will fall out of your hand if you hold it to loosely you will break it. What is it? <#> heart <#> I want to learning about Japanese grammar. So anyone help me? <#> Find you a copy of "Genki - An integrated course in Elementary Japanese" published by The Japan Times. It's the best introduction to the language that I've found. You may be able to find one at your local library. If not, take a look at TheJapanShop.net or Amazon.com or JList.com <#> Is Portuguese an easy language to lean? <#> I wouldn't recommend that you do that. A language is not a tangible thing, so you'll find Portugese really hard to lean. If you're asking about "learning" Portugese, it may not be as difficult as you think. First, it'd be easier to learn compared to Arabic, Chinese or Slavic languages since the LAtin alphabet is used. Second, it's a language of the Indo-Eurasian family, so if your first language is English, you'll have grammatical similarities and even many words of common roots (compare that to learning say an Altaic language). Lastly, you say there are people speaking Portugese in your family, which enables you to practice it in daily life. Plus you probably already have an affinity with the sounds and the intonation of that language. Learning new languages is fun and eventually useful, and it is a wonderful exercise for your brain. Go for it! <#> My ex and I "date" but haven't been official in 9 years. How do I tell him that I still luv him and want more? <#> You are being used for booty and will never be anything more to him. I wish it didn't sound so harsh, but that's your truth. Either enjoy your "benefits" or move on. You may tell him you love him, but I bet your intuition has already told you the response to that and that is why you are scared. Actually I belive you should tell him, get it off your chest...and still move on.

<#> what is the best free online institute which teach me about computer hardware and software? <#> Free choices are limited, but a good one is the course at Barnes & Noble University linked below. You may also want to try some of the other links I've enclosed. <#> How do you get people to leave when they have over stayed their welcome? <#> If you just want them to stop acting like guests and start acting like roommates, start assigning chores and handing over the grocery lists once in a while... "Hey, Susan, while I'm at work today, would you please vaccuum and water the plants?" or (In a joking tone) "Isn't it your turn to do the dishes?" Open bills in front of them, and complain aloud about how high they've gotten. If you want your house back, then be kind but blunt... Sit down with them and say "I have loved having you here, but I'm afraid that I can't have you stay much longer...I have XXXXX happening in a couple of weeks and need to have some time to myself before that, but it's sure been fun!" Or lie and tell them your landlord has reminded you of the terms of your lease and your rent will be raised if they stay more than another week.

They impeached him, but then they congress voted to keep him. that's the simple version.

<#> Does anybody know a good leg exercise? ( I have bad knees sooo...)? <#> unless the cracking is painful, it is not unusual or dangerous for your knees to "crack". Lunges are excellent for strengthening the muscles around the knee joint. Make sure that you are not leaning over the knee, that the knee is right above the foot during the lunge and that you maintain a straight upright movement. Do not do hamstring excercises that will pull on the knee joint if you have problems with your knee. elipticals are good for running on with minimal knee and ankle stress. you can also get large elastic bands...stand in them, and step out to the side pulling on the bands, then back in. Don't pull harder than is comfortable, this will help increase the stablization of the knee. Laying on your back you can pull your knee to your chest, and then extend it, locking your knee holding the leg just over the ground..repeating, this will also help strengthen the muscles around the knee with minimal weight on it. Always is good to speak with a doctor or physical therapist if you have concerns. <#> How i can share my files with particular computer? <#> At "A" computer, right click the xyz folder - Properties - Sharing - Share this folder - Share Name: give any name and put $ at the end e.g. xyz$ - OK). Now, ask owner of "C" computer to access the shared folder by Start - Run - &#92;&#92;computerC&#92;xyz$ - OK Here computerC denotes the network computer name of "C" computer. Good Luck :) <#> Is Psylocke a villain in X-Men?? <#> It depends. They COULD be taking a spin off the more recent stuff where there were two Psylockes. In the early 20's issues of X-men, there was a big brouhaha about how Revanche came back, essentially a carbon-copy (though she said she was the original!) Psylocke with the same powers, etc., but with the old-school look she had waayyyy back in the older ish of Uncanny. However, she had a mean streak in her... I think it's entirely possible (seeing as how true to the book the previous two movies were as far as the characters go) that Psylocke would start out bad, and yet come into Xavier's fold. You know, kinda like how Nightcrawler was in the second one...?

Russell seems to have been part of 'the faithful and discreet servant' class mentioned at Matthew 24:45; for decades Russell wrote much of the Witnesses' spiritual 'food at the proper time'. Since Jehovah's Witnesses understand that 'faithful slave' class to represent all anointed Christians on the earth as a group, Russell must have been anointed, and thus among the 144,000 resurrected to heaven. <#> How long is a piece of string? <#> Long enough to reach the end of a hole <#> If two connected human brains work properly would it be a case of double personality or would they merge? <#> We merged. <#> So what do you think of Canada "okay-ing" group "love"? <#> They are chosing not to make private matters public. By legalizing "group love", they are giving the citizens more rights. You have to right to do things in your private club and home that you as consenting adults agree to. The Canadian government has chosen to stay out of it's citizens' bedroom and personal lives. <#> How do you pronounce the name of the astronomer "Kuiper" ? <#> Pronounce it either ("KYE per") or ("KOW per"). <#> How can I get a static IP adddress when my ISP assigns me a dynamic address? So I can host my own web site.? <#> A way around a Static IP is using a Dynamic DNS provider like No-IP. You install a small program on your pc that updates your ip address each time it changes. Then you can access your ip using Dynamic DNS. I think some of the providers may offer using your own domain, but you may be interested in checking out low cost hosting providers.

<#> What is ottoman empire? <#> Ottoman Empire also Turkish Empire A vast Turkish sultanate of southwest Asia, northeast Africa, and southeast Europe. It was founded in the 13th century by Osman I and ruled by his descendants until its dissolution after World War I. Originally a small state controlled by Ottoman or Osmanli Turks, it spread rapidly, superseding the Byzantine Empire in the east. Ottoman Empire (?t'?m?n) , vast state founded in the late 13th cent. by Turkish tribes in Anatolia and ruled by the descendants of Osman I until its dissolution in 1918. Modern Turkey formed only part of the empire, but the terms ?Turkey? and ?Ottoman Empire? were often used interchangeably. Organization of the Empire Economically, socially, and militarily, Turkey was a medieval state, unaffected by the developments in the rest of Europe. Turkish domination over the northern part of Africa (except Tripoli and Egypt) was never well defined or effective, and the eastern border was inconstant, shifting according to frequent wars with Persia. Of the vassal princes, only the khans of Crimea were generally loyal. The sultans themselves had sunk into indolence and depravity. Until the ascension (1603) of Ahmad I, the succession to the throne was habitually contested by all the sons of the deceased sultan, and it was the patriotic duty of the victor to kill his rivals in order to restore order. Although this practice was barbarous, when it ceased other problems arose. The eldest male member of the family was recognized as the heir-designate, but to prevent threats to the sultan the imperial prince was denied any involvement in public affairs and was kept in luxurious imprisonment. When the prince finally ascended the throne, he was often alcoholic or lunatic. Actual rule was usually exercised by the grand viziers, many of whom were able men (notably those of the K�pr�l� family). The sultans themselves often were the creatures of the Janissaries, whose favor was purchased by large gifts at the ascension of a sultan. One of the most nefarious aspects of the court of Constantinople (known as the Seraglio and the Sublime Porte) was the all-pervading corruption and bribery that had been raised to a system of administration. The pashas and hospodars (governors) who administered the provinces and vassal states purchased their posts at exorbitant prices. They recovered their fortunes by extorting still larger sums from their subjects. The peasantry was thus reduced to abject misery. A positive feature in Ottoman administration was the religious toleration generally extended to all non-Muslims. This, however, did not prevent occasional massacres and discriminatory fiscal practices. In Constantinople the Greeks and Armenians held a privileged status and were very influential in commerce and politics. The despotic system of government was mitigated only by the observance of Muslim law. History Origins The Ottoman state began as one of many small Turkish states that emerged in Asia Minor during the breakdown of the empire of the Seljuk Turks. The Ottoman Turks began to absorb the other states, and during the reign (1451?81) of Muhammad II they ended all other local Turkish dynasties. The early phase of Ottoman expansion took place under Osman I, Orkhan, Murad I, and Beyazid I at the expense of the Byzantine Empire, Bulgaria, and Serbia. Bursa fell in 1326 and Adrianople (the modern Edirne) in 1361; each in turn became the capital of the empire. The great Ottoman victories of Kosovo (1389) and Nikopol (1396) placed large parts of the Balkan Peninsula under Ottoman rule and awakened Europe to the Ottoman danger. The Ottoman siege of Constantinople was lifted at the appearance of Timur, who defeated and captured Beyazid in 1402. The Ottomans, however, soon rallied. The Period of Great Expansion The empire, reunited by Muhammad I, expanded victoriously under Muhammad's successors Murad II and Muhammad II. The victory (1444) at Var

Lithium can also be used to augment other antidepressant drugs. Useful amounts of Lithium for this use are only slightly lower than toxic amounts, so the blood levels of Lithium have to be carefully monitored during such a treatment. <#> every day i receive about 100 what to call them ads how can i cut that down i will call it junk mail? <#> using filters isn't very succesfull and you guys know that.

Some countries may not even know themselves how many of their own people have gone missing, or even worse, mis-represent how many have gone missing due to the efforts of secret-police type organisations. In some cases it's up to 3rd parties like the Red Cross to give numbers on thing like this, see: http://www.redcross.org/news/in/africa/020130lagos.html http://www.redcross.org/press/intl/in_pr/010412kosovobook.html for example. <#> What's the rate of heat loss through a domestic well-insulated wall per sqm when the heat differential is 15C? <#> There are such values, called R-values. They define the resistance to heat loss per unit time, temperature difference and area (i.e., higher is better). These are English units, hour-degreeF-ft^2/BTU. An R-value of 20 means that 100 sq. ft. of wall separating a 20 deg F temperature difference for 8 hours passes 800 BTU of heat. Typical recommended R-values (ref. 1) for use in residences are 4 to 60, depending on climate and location in the house. For walls the range is 11 to 28. In the ref. 2 web site you can find R ratings for various insulation materials, in R-value per inch of insulation thickness, and thicknesses required for various recommended R-values.

<#> Discovery is a TT1 team, What's the diff between TT1, TT2 & TT3 pro cycling? <#> TT stands for "Trade Team" - the classification of TT1/2/3 teams is now outdated. The Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team is a Pro Tour team as classified by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). The Pro Tour teams are the top tier of professional cycling. Here's the official descriptions of the five tiers of teams as categorized by the UCI: UCI ProTeams These structures are able to obtain a UCI ProTour licence for a maximum duration of 4 years. Licences are awarded based on strict sporting, ethical, legal and financial criteria. UCI Professional Continental Teams These are professional structures which have successfully passed a financial and legal audit carried out by the UCI. The status of UCI Professional Continental Teams must be renewed each year. UCI Continental Teams These are structures, professional or non-professional, that are recognized and certified by the National Federation (NF) from the country where the majority of its athletes come from. Each NF can register a maximum of 15 UCI Continental Teams. These must fulfill the following criteria: 8 to 16 athletes, the majority of them who are under 28. National Teams There are no changes to the structure of National Teams. Regional and Club Teams Like in the past, these structures will have limited access to races in the UCI Continental Circuits. They are placed under the responsibility and authority of NFs. <#> what's better study in your country or in some other one where u not belong to ? <#> If you are studying a different country, then study in that country.

<#> In homolytic fission a covalent bond breaks and each atom gets an electron from the bonded pair? <#> This has an obvious answer, in a covalent bond, each atom contributes an electron & in turn shares the other electron contributed by other atom. Compare this situation with Ionic bond where electrns get completely transferred & the atoms get ionized (charged). So it concludes that atoms are neutral originally (Obviously). So in a homolytic fission when electrons contributed by atoms are RETURNED back to them, why should they get charged ? They in a sense return to their original NEUTRAL atomic state i.e. a free & reactive radical .

Anyway, basically you sign up with them and then once your logged in you just fill in as many forms as you like in their members section and you get paid for each one. I get checks from them every 2 weeks each averaging around $250-$350. You could make more but I just use the site as an extra income stream aswell as my full time job so I only work on it for around an hour each night. You do have to be prepared to spend a little money though if you want to do anything online like this but it�s already been worth it for me. Heres the link you can get them at anyway -> www.protry.com Hope this helps! Goodluck, Dave <#> Does it snow where you live? <#> In Iowa city, Iowa, it does snow. But it's not right now.So thats a relief. Party tonight! <#> why is it that guys only go for girls that are skinny and not fat ones? <#> Because they don't love women..They love themselves...I love women and appreciate all types,sizes, ages and personalities. There is a secret excitement to be found underneath the surface of every woman just as every woman has different experiences to share and has her own rythm that leads her to multiple O's..Taking the time to find those things make life an exceptional adventure... <#> why do people hate perverts but just say no? <#> Lol, there is no such thing as out-perverting a pervert, I am afraid. The weirder you get, the more they are going to be interested in you and the more they think they are rubbing off on you! Call the police or something. <#> Does MPSIMS have meaning to anyone else around here? <#> MPSIMS stands for Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share. It is the place where things which don't fit into any other category goes. The content is not always mundane or pointless, as it has been used for informing the community that members (or family of members) have died as well as a 9/11 thread begun just minutes after the event. <#> where I can buy a Italian mess ? <#> You can find a few Italians, ask them to make a big mess (e.g. by giving them a topic to argue about), and pay them for it.

Some areas used to offer "Middle Schools" as well, but these have generally fallen out of favour. Various types of secondary schools include, or have included Comprehensive, Grammar, and City Technology College. Just to confuse matters, we call private schools "public schools". I'm sure whoever came up with that one thought it made sense at the time... <#> what does it mean when the american flag is lowered on the pole? <#> Half-staff or half-mast describes the act of flying a flag approximately halfway up a flagpole (though anywhere from one-third to two-thirds of the way up the flagpole is acceptable). This is done in many countries as a symbol of respect, mourning, or distress. When hoisting a flag that is to be displayed at half-staff, it should be hoisted to full staff for an instant, then lowered to half-staff. Likewise when it is lowered at the end of the day, it is to be hoisted to full staff for an instant, and then lowered. The original flag 'etiquette' was to fly the flag at one flag's depth from the top of the hoist. With the larger flags on shorter hoists on public buildings the practice of 'half-mast' has now commonly become to fly the flag at true 'half-mast' regardless of the size of the flag or hoist. <#> I'm being hunted down by a plumber.

<#> How big of a nuclear threat is North Korea? <#> That guy is a nut case, in my opinion, if he figues out how to make nucular weapons, we all better watch out. Course he is friends with our Gov of New Mexico! The Gov flys over there and tries to talk him out of deveploping the stuff. He's probably just trying to use the power to get stuff from the US! :) <#> What is the name of the planet beyond Pluto? <#> There are actually several "planet like" objects beyond Pluto in an area called the Kuiper belt that contains thousands of objects that circle the sun. At present none of them have been officially recognized as new planets. The discovery of these new planet size objects including 2003 UB313 (nicknamed XENA), Sedna(in 2004) and Quaoar(in 2002 by the same team) have triggered a re-evaluation of the necessary criteria to call something a planet. It is likely that this team at Caltech will discover other objects to be added to the list of potential "planets" in our solar system. 2003 UB313(nicknamed XENA unofficially) is larger than Pluto which leaves officials in a bit of dilemna. How can they recognize Pluto as a planet and not this object?

<#> are masons satanic? <#> This is a true question of semantics and religion. Some would say that first of all, freemasonry has no connection to religion, so there is no way to say that masons are satanic. Others might say that freemasons are inherently religious people with connections to their status in the society directly coorelating with their positions in their church of choice. Still there are some people that claim further study into organized religions and freemasonry will show their origins are directly linked together, and that their purposes are twofold in so-called "faith" and the controlling of culture through that so-called "faith"...thereby falling into suspicion of "satanic" influences. It is true that freemason rites and rituals are very similar to that of witchcraft, satanic followings, and even some lesser known culture followings such as hermetics...all of which have had their purposes challenged as satanic from the general, unknowing public. The truth is that you will never know the answer to your question by asking it here, and you cannot confirm any answer you might recieve without experiencing the masonic rites yourself. Furthermore, any member of a masonic society will claim no knowledge of satanic connections to their brotherhood. The secrets of these societies are replete with whispers of foul play and undertones of godless or godlike actions and/or beliefs. Your answer lies in your question. What is that you believe is satanic, what is your understanding of the subject your curiosity stems from, and whether or not you are willing to see what is beneath the surface...this is what will lead you to a more accurate answer to this question. I hope this helped. Good luck. <#> how much to mail a 5x7 christmas card? <#> .37 right now is up to 1 ounce weight. It costs if I recall .23 cents more for each ounce up to 13.

<#> Is Bush a good president? <#> No. 1. He uses his religion to dictate policy. 2. He lies to the american people, often not for their own good. 3. He misleads the commanders and generals in the field to get his own agend passed. 4. He lies and misleads the United Nations. 5. He wiretapps innocent americans and expects to pass it off as anti-terrorism efforts. 6. He has started a huge 'political and religious' war against terrorists, and neglects to cover losses in the united states such as hunger, drugs, poverty, guns and hate crimes. 7. He is staunchly against gay and lesbian rights, which as they are americans should be affored the same rights and roles as everyone else. 8. He flaunts his power, even though he doesn't have a clue on how to use it. His IQ is one of the lowest of any president in history; he hasn't written any of his own speeches, let alone a book about his policy and life. In general his intelligence leaves quite a bit to be desired. 9. He doesn't seem to care about world policy; it is his way or the highway. 10. He has put our boarders at risk, even from the canadians. 11. He has severed ties to some of our oldest allies, simply because some of our allies think that he has gone to far in his push for world peace. 12. He is constantly trying to push his world agenda onto other conountries, and forcing democracy into their countries without their consent. 13. He doesn't feel that those who are not christian should have the same rights as those that are. 14. He doesn't feel that POW's are entitled to any basic civil liberties. 15. He doesn't aggree with the Geneva Convention, in fact he has wanted to rewrite it several times. 16. He wants to actually remove us from our seat at the UN, which would be catastrophic to the agency as we hold a founding seat. 17. He has invaded Iraq under false pretenses, and continously defends our rights there; whereas we should have no rights there as that is NOT our country or our protectorate, instead it is the soverign right of the iraqi people, not americans. 18. He neglects his duty as president and spends more than 1/2 his normal time and term on vacation or away from the white house. 19. He cuts funding to military bases, military outposts, military members and families; and then increases funding for anti terrorism funds with said cuts. 20. He cuts funding for military housing for families in need. Those are the top 20 reason why i believe he is a bad president.

Unless you were lucky and bought it when it was unlimited for $19.99.

Honestly, prison should be like the jail down in Arizona where they live in tents eat rotten meat and have to work on chain gangs.

<#> what is the difference between DVD+R and DVD-R ? <#> DVD-R (pronounced "DVD dash R") and DVD+R (pronounced "DVD plus R") are nearly identical formats. The discs look the same and are both supported by most DVD-ROM drives and DVD burners. The only difference between the formats is the way they determine the location of the laser beam on the disc. DVD-R discs use tiny marks along the grooves in the discs, called land prepits, to determine the laser position. DVD+R discs do not have land prepits, but instead measure the "wobble frequency" as the laser moves toward the outside of the disc. The DVD-R format was developed by Pioneer and was released in the second half of 1997. DVD+R was developed by Sony and Philips and was introduced in 2002. Companies that support DVD-R include Pioneer, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Panasonic, while companies that support DVD+R include Sony, Philips, Hewlett-Packard, Ricoh, and Yamaha. However, most of these companies now develop hybrid DVD drives that support both DVD-R and DVD+R formats. They are known as DVD�R or DVD�RW drives. When looking for media for your DVD drive, make sure it ends in "-R" if you have a DVD-R drive or "+R" if you have a DVD+R drive. If you have a DVD�R drive, you can use either format. DVD-R is still more popular than DVD+R, but since they are both widely supported, it should not matter which format you choose. <#> Is it worth doing Masters from University of Southern California? <#> As someone in the technology field in the Los Angeles area, I would have to say that the USC degree is worth more than one from CSULA, because of the quality of the professors and program.

My husband and I were paying $900 a month in 2001 for a two bedroom, two bath apartment (900 sq ft) in Anaheim, CA. When we purchased our home in 2002, we were paying $1700 a month in mortgage payments for a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath home that is 1700 sq ft. Our mortgage payment has since dropped, since we refinanced and got a lower interest rate. I'm certain the rent price would've only increased year after year, as it had been. If you can afford to purchase a house in California, I would consider doing so.

What can I do to take all the anxiety problems out of my body forever? <#> A direct result from anxiety disorder isn't usually death, but it can certainly feel like you could die at times. If left untreated it could snowball into other problems, I suppose. For instance, if your anxiety is preventing you from leaving the house, you could be missing out on excersize. Just a small example. The best thing to do is seek therapy and find out what it is that is the trigger for you. It can be crippling, and nobody should have to live like that. For a quick fix, Xanax or a Benzo drug is effective, but not good for long term use. Zoloft is excellent, and non-addictive.

<#> does the type of water have an effect on grass growth? <#> When I was an undergraduate I did an experiment with some classmates in a blant biology lab class related to this question. We collected soil from two areas: one area that received drainage from a local copper mine, and one close area that didn't receive the drainage. We put the soil in water to extract the contents and used the water to water some wheatgrass seeds. The grass watered with the extract of the drainage soil was different in color, shorter, and had fewer root hairs, as I recall. In other words, it was less healthy.

No way around it, the only way to know what someone else is feeling is to find out from them.

Be honest with yourself and us. But if you want the truth, there is only one sin and one sin alone that keeps us from heaven, and that is not receiving God's free gift of salvation through His Son. You need to realize that good works do NOT get us to heaven. You cannot buy your way there, that is why Jesus had to pay the price for us. It is a debt we could not pay. But don't worry, if you want your companion more than God, He will not stand in the way of your decision, that is what free will is for. If you are willing to pay an eternal price for such a decision, it will be your choice and your choice alone. You might want to talk to God about it first. <#> If u could only watch one tv a week what would it be? <#> discovery channel <#> what is the best spyware remover that is free? <#> You should use a combination.

And the Constitution forbids the making of any laws for OR against religion, which is pretty much the same thing as saying "all persons have freedom to worship as they please, and it's our job to make sure they keep that as a right."

This falling back down produces energy in the form of light. (this is the reason neon lights and similar lights light up, the electrons get excited by the electricity, and the process of them falling down produces energy in the form of light. The color is determined by which energy level it is falling from and into, and usually remains consistent for each element.) Well anyway, the electron jumping from one energy level to the next is called a 'quantum leap' <#> If it was possible, who would you choose to replace george bush? <#> i wouldn't because even though he has done somethings that americans would be against. he still is a good president because even though september 11 hit he did what he had to. so i would chose him or some person that would be brave enough to deal with the conflicts we have to go through every day.

<#> What is the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes? <#> Type 1 diabetes (aka, insulin-dependent diabetes)is a severe, chronic form of diabetes caused by insufficient production of insulin and resulting in abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The disease, which typically appears in childhood or adolescence, is characterized by increased sugar levels in the blood and urine, excessive thirst, frequent urination, acidosis, and wasting. Type 2 diabetes (aka non-insulin-dependent diabetes) is a mild form of diabetes that typically appears first in adulthood and is exacerbated by obesity and an inactive lifestyle. This disease often has no symptoms, is usually diagnosed by tests that indicate glucose intolerance, and is treated with changes in diet and an exercise regimen. <#> Why is yawning contagious? <#> monkey-see monkey-do. Dr. Steven M. Platek has said that we yawn b/c we are unconciously imitating other humans.

You can get a PCI TV Tuner card which allows for standard video inputs (usually coax and composite), these tend to run around $50 or less. Once the hardware and software are installed, simply hook the gamecube up to the Tuner card as though it were a TV, and the software will let you view the console output on your computer monitor. Basically, turn your computer into a TV and everything falls into place for hooking standard TV accessories to it.

I tried to play the part of being socialable, but I don't seem to agree with anything anyone does. I think most people are full of themselves. I stopped trying to socialize. I am what I am, and that's it. I don't need to prove anything to anyone. Just as long as you're happy being a loner, there's nothing wrong with it. If you're uncomfortable in crowds, then don't torture yourself.

As a result, for laptops, as well as servers where power consumption is an issue (which is nearly all servers) Yonah offers significant performance benefits. See the anandtech story, as well as others referencing it. <#> What are the roles of gravitational force in the ultimate fate of the universe? <#> If there is sufficient gravitational force then the universe will do one of three things: Small gravitational force= universe that expands indefinately Moderate gravitational force=universe that will expand indefinately but slows down extremely slowly.

There are far to many in the "religion right" that would have a ideological problem with a woman being President. As for Hillary, I think she could get a lot of support from the more liberal left, but still not enough to be elected. Not to mention there is A LOT of dirt on her. The realities of who she is would turn away all but the most liberal minded. So yes, I think it is difficult for a female to be elected. I wouldn't rule it out for the future, but for now I find it highly unlikely it could be accomplished. <#> Who pays for those "The More you Know" advertisements on TV? <#> NBC, hence all the NBC actors.

<#> what is a transistor laser? <#> A transistor laser is a solid-state device (i.e., fabricated in much the same way as computer chips) that emits coherent light--that is, light with essentially a single wavelength (a "pure" color) in which all of the wave crests are aligned. This differs from light emitting diodes (LEDs), which are somewhat simpler solid-state devices that emit a range of wavelengths and do so in many directions at once. Unlike traditional, bulky lasers, a transistor laser can be mass-manufactured very cheaply, and it can provide a natural bridge between electronic components and optical ones (e.g., fiber-optic networks). Because the wave crests in laser light are all aligned, there is essentially no destructive interference between different light waves, so this form of light is very efficient in terms of power requirements and transmission distance. That's why lasers are used in optical networking (especially telephony and long-haul Internet backbones) and also why it's dangerous to stare at one (the light energy is transferred to your retina so efficiently that it can destroy the cells). <#> What is the bad effect of not having sex regularly? <#> There is no known physical effects. However; there is thought to be some chemicals that are released from the brain(endorphines) I think which is a chemical that causes one to be in a more positive mood.However; if one has been sexually active and then is not( do to breaking up with partner/ can't "get any") one may experience the "sexual tension" although does not cause "harm" can makes ones temperment short.(ie. cranky)lol <#> i,m 20 and my boyfriend for almost 3yrs is 30 and his sex is starting to get kind of dry,what should i do.? <#> First of all finding someone else is not always the answer.
