1,397,700	9Politics & Government	what kind of man can kill 50000 people (in Iraq) in order to take oil?	if 50 000 civilians are killed in this war estmated 2/3 should be women and children. Not insurgents not terrorists. Republicans it is time to face reality. It is not a game anymore.	Do you think they care? Republicans are greedy, self-righteous, arrogant bastards who only care about their rich, corporate buddies, their superior morality, and money! They believe the rich are important and the rest of us should just obey their every demand, because they know what is best. Hope for a Democratic victory this election in both houses of Congress, so we restore common-sense and concern for the average Joe.

1,397,710	0Society & Culture	I just won 18 million from the lotto.. Do you have any ideas on how I can use it to help people?		Helping Hand Allocation of funds\n\nFirst of all, if you really want to help people with your money, DO NOT GIVE IT TO ANY CHARITABLE OR GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION WHATSOEVER. These institutions are nothing more than huge tax shelters that are run by greedy babyboomers and wannabe politicians. Use the money in a way that would actually HELP people. Giving your money to the Government is about the equivilent of flushing it down your toilet or tossing it out of a window....you choose the cliche'. Make damn sure that you are the one who is actually making the purchases. Examples on how to help people: \n1. Purchase a home for a family.\n2. Invest it in a local/small business.\n3. Sponsor a high school baseball team.(New uniforms, etc.)\n4. Purchase a car for someone.\n5. Repair someones credit.(Preferably not a deadbeat, more like someone who has lost their job or something along those lines)\n6. Donate some $$$ to a city rescue mission.\n7. Buy groceries for a family.\n8. Help a local garage band with equipment/recording cost..etc.\n9. Purchase new computers/books/desks/whatever for a school.\n10. Give some $$$ to a Church that has a well known reputation for charity.(Regardless of your Dogmatic beliefs a lot of local churches are masterminds at charity events.)\n\nWhat I have listed above are not exact options that I'm giving you, simply examples on the kinds of things that would really make a difference in a persons/families/whatever life. In the event that you actually have 18M, I would advise against giving any charitable/Government organizations a dime. I hate to beat a dead horse, but its the truth. When it comes to money, you should view the Government as The Anti-Christ/Devil/Hitler/Murderer / Rapist /Random thing that you hate. Simply put, make sure you alone are in charge of the allocation of funds. Hot damn.\n\n-J.

1,397,715	0Society & Culture	Churches in the Cheyenne area?	I'm moving to the Cheyenne, WY area and would like to find a church there. I don't care too much what the denomination is, but would prefer to find a more liberal church (no sermons on how homosexuals are going to hell and all that). All things like the yellow pages tell me is the name of the church. So if you can suggest a specific church or a way to find a church other than the phone book that would be great. (Also posting this under travel>US>Denver).	Have you tried a Unitarian Universalist church? I'm Wiccan and I go sometimes (even though they sing Christian hymns) because the sermons are more about self-empowerment and how to change the world into a better place by being the example. It's more spiritual than it is dogmatic, also. \n\nThere should be one in your area. I hope the ink below helps you out.

1,397,719	1Science & Mathematics	If the universe is expanding, into what is it expanding?		There is only one universe, and to say it is expanding actually refers to the fact that the solar systems, galaxies, etc are all spreading apart from one another. If you believe int he big bang theory, them think of yourself in one VERY slow explosion spreading out from that central core. \n\nSo I guess to answer your question, it is expanding into itself.
1,397,720	2Health	Hippa laws can a drs office take a bill to your employer to give to you not sealed?	I work for a collection agency and one of our clients took a bill to a patients work place and had the presidnet of the company give the bill to the patient. does this break federal hippa laws	I'm a dentist.\n\nAs I understand it, private health information that is readily accessible to and discoverable by thid parties not authorized to see it is considered a HIPAA violation.\n\nFor example, if I leave a patient's chart lying on my desk, readily accessible to cleaning crew, that is a HIPAA violation.\n\nNow, giving a bill to a patient's co-worker might be different because it is (or at least should be) assumed that co-workers of the patient have an obligation to not read other peoples' mail.\n\nOf course, if the bill was simply given as a straight piece of paper whose contents were in plain sight of anyone handling it, then I'd say it's a clear HIPAA violation. If the bill was folded and in order for someone to read its contents they had to unfold it, then it might not be a HIPAA violation because the co-worker was not supposed to unfold the document to begin with (assuming that this hypothetical co-worker knew for whom the document was intended prior to opening it). Generally, when you fold a document, you do it for the purpose of 1. fitting it in an envolope, or 2. hiding the contents. Obviously, for someone to unfold a document, they are making a deliberate effort to discover its contents. Finally, if the document was in an envelope, then as far as I'm concerned it's a pretty clear-cut case of a co-worker being nosy.\n\nI'm no lawyer, but as a doctor I do have to follow HIPAA guidelines closely (or at least be aware of them) because violations can cost be costly.

1,397,732	5Sports	is it possible to win a grand slam only after playing tennis for about 2yrs?		I have been around tennis professionals for quite some time. I have worked with professionals, I have traveled with professionals, I have given advice to professionals. At that level of tennis the players are unbelievably talented, I can say without question that it is as close to impossible as you can get. The odds would be like winning the Super lottery on back to back draws. That is considering you started with a world class athlete to begin with, and had a team of the best coaches in the world working with him or her 8 hours a day every day. It would be the same as asking if someone could win a major PGA grandslam event after playing golf for only two years. For all practical purposes it is impossible, and anyone that says otherwise does not understand the skill level at the professional level. Anyone that has worked with professionals, i am sure will tell you exactly the same thing.

1,397,735	8Family & Relationships	Fatal Attraction?	Okay, here's the story...I'm educated, I have a good career, and consider myself a pretty stable individual; however, I'm also a human being, capable of making mistakes. I have 3 teenage children from a previous marriage and I've been with Dawson for 8 years (engaged for 2). Not long ago, Dawson and I were having some major trouble in our relationship; in fact, we were talking very seriously about separating. It was hard on us both. Well, during this time, I met Sam at work. Sam and I developed a pretty strong friendship that evolved into something else. We had an intimate relationship for about 2 months. It ended when Sam began expecting me to leave Dawson. It finally dawned on me what a fool I was, shaking the stable life my 3 children had, and endangering an 8 year relationship. I was so ashamed. So, I had a long talk with Sam and, as far as I was concerned, it was over. We no longer work the same shift at work. Since then, Sam calls me constantly, threatening to tell everyone....	I feel for ya. I went thru kinda same thing....unfortunatly it ended in tragety. Best thing you can do is, go ahead & tell him truth. I know your a nervous wreck. Telling may get rid of Sam. I know Dawson will have to have time to think bout what you have done to him. If he really loves you, he will give you a second chance, but most of that trust will be lost. If he doesnt....then there is nothing you can do. Just know you made a mistake and learn from it.

I'm thinking about going into the Air Force to help pay my way through college, and I'm pretty much planning my career around them. So, how would that work? Do I work off my debt, or get another job to pay it back?	With your soul.\nJust kidding. Are you thinking of the ROTC program?\nWith the ROTC the military will pay for your school which you attend before military service. After completing your eduction you are then obligated to serve in the military for the number of years of you eduction.\nWith the GI Bill the Federal government will pay towards your college eduction after you have served in the military.\nThere are also programs to further your eduction while in active service.

1,397,742	0Society & Culture	Why can't TV shows and movies let actors be without Makeup?	I wouldn't care... who would?? In fact i would like it more if people didn't have make up.. cause frankly i can tell they all wear makeup and it's not realistic at all. like they'd have a bum, and even he has make up. or a kid, school kid, and he has make up. \n\nSo what would they lose from not making actors wear makeup?	If movie actors looked as plain as others, they'd have to rely on their talents alone. And let's face it, a lot of them would be out of a job then.
1,397,743	7Entertainment & Music	How do i tell a root note of a chord on a guitar!?		One good way is to follow the bass line and match it up with the chord. There's a good chance that either the bassline will reflect the root note or be closely related to it. However, the best way to discover the root note of a chord is to look at what the scale pattern is doing and use your common sense to suss out the progression. Another thing to look for is a dual relationship by way of 5ths and 4ths to a note or a note and an octave. In the final anlysis it will become meaningless because once you play with a degree of dexterity and fluidity you will no longer think of the notes theoretically but experience them with a kind of other sense. For now you probably should pick up a copy of The Mel Bay Chord Book and learn every chord in it. Good luck and keep playing!

1,397,746	8Family & Relationships	My husband doesn't want me???	Me and my husband have together almost 3 years. We are both young and we had a great sex life when we were dating and the first year of our marriage. Now we have sex maybe 7-10 times a month sometimes more and i want it almost every night. He works 9-10 hours a day and when he gets home he is always tired and says he is wore out. He is pretty overweight and he had high blood pressure. I feel like he doesn't want to have sex with me and i cry alot about it, even though everynight when we got to bed he holds me and tells me he loves me and we play around(not sexually) But i want sex and it kills me that he doesn't. But he does get in these moods where he can't keep his hands off me. I need someones opinion?????	You have a faithful husband, he loves you, he works 8-10 hrs a day for your family. If he is too tired to have sex every night, you need to start masturbating. Sex is just a thing. A good, loving family is EVERYthing.
1,397,747	0Society & Culture	Aren't religions HYPOCRITICAL. They say that everyone is EQUAL, however they oppose WOMEN priests and bishop	ALSO, THE BIBLE SAYS NOTHING ABOUT CREATING DIFFERENT TYPES OF HUMAN, SUCH AS THE HOBBIT AND NEANDERTHAL MAN. IT IS SAID THEY WERE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SPECIES. WHAT DOES THE CHURCH HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT?	Men and women are equal in God's sight in respect to his love for them and in respect to their salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.\n\nBut God created men and women with different roles. Just because a woman becomes a Christian doesn't mean that she isn't called to bear children for example. In the context of marriage the divine order is Jesus is in charge, the man is supposed to follow Him and the woman is supposed to follow her husband as he follows Christ.\n\nThat doesn't make men better than women. It just means that God has ordained different roles for each gender. That's why back in Genesis 2 God said he would make a suitable helper for the man when He created Eve.\n\nIf He had done it the other way around then He would still have had to have an order because God is not the author of confusion.
1,397,748	1Science & Mathematics	What is Time?		We all know that clocks measure time. But clocks are complex physical systems and hence are subject to imperfection, breakage, and disruptions of electrical power. If I take any two real clocks, synchronise them, and let them run, after some time, they will always disagree about what time it is. \n\n\nSo which of them measures the real time? Indeed, is there a single, absolute time which, although measured imperfectly by any actual clock, is the true time of the world? It seems there must be, otherwise, what do we mean when we say that some particular clock runs slow or fast? On the other hand, what could it mean to say that something like an absolute time exists if it can never be precisely measured? \n\n\nA belief in an absolute time raises other paradoxes. Would time flow if there were nothing in the universe? If everything stopped, if nothing happened, would time continue?\nOn the other hand, perhaps there is no single absolute time. In that case, time is only what clocks measure and, as there are many clocks and they all, in the end, disagree, there are many times. Without an absolute time, we can only say that time is defined relative to whichever clock we choose to use. \n\n\nThis seems to be an attractive point of view, because it does not lead us to believe in some absolute flow of time we can't observe. But it leads to a problem, as soon as we know a little science. \nOne of the things physics describes is motion, and we cannot conceive of motion without time. Thus, the notion of time is basic for physics. Let me take the simplest law of motion, which was invented by Galileo and Descartes, and formalised by Isaac Newton: A body with no forces acting on it moves in a straight line at a constant speed. Let's not worry here about what a straight line is (this is the problem of space, which is perfectly analogous to the problem of time, but which I won't discuss here). To understand what this law is asserting, we need to know what it means to move at a constant speed. This concept involves a notion of time, as one moves at a constant speed when equal distances are covered in equal times. \n\n\nWe may then ask: With respect to which time is the motion to be constant? Is it the time of some particular clock? If so, how do we know which clock? We must certainly choose because, as we observed a moment ago, all real clocks will eventually go out of synchronisation with one another. Or is it rather that the law refers to an ideal, absolute time? \nSuppose we take the point of view that the law refers to a single, absolute time. This solves the problem of choosing which clock to use, but it raises another problem, for no real, physical clock perfectly measures this imagined, ideal time. How could we truly be sure whether the statement of the law is true, if we have no access to this absolute, ideal time? How do we tell whether some apparent speeding up or slowing down of some body in a particular experiment is due to the failure of the law, or only to the imperfection of the clock we are using? \n\n\nNewton, when he formulated his laws of motion, chose to solve the problem of which clock by positing the existence of an absolute time. Doing this, he went against the judgements of his contemporaries, such as Descartes and Gottfried Leibniz, who held that time must be only an aspect of the relationships among real things and real processes in the world. Perhaps theirs is the better philosophy, but as Newton knew better than anyone at the time, it was only if one believed in an absolute time that his laws of motion, including the one we have been discussing, make sense. Indeed, Albert Einstein, who overthrew Newton's theory of time, praised Newton's "courage and judgement" to go against what is clearly the better philosophical argument, and make whatever assumptions he had to make to invent a physics that made sense. \n\n\nThis debate, between time as absolute and preexisting and time as an aspect of t

1,397,754	1Science & Mathematics	why stars twinkle?		The scientific name for the twinkling of stars is stellar scintillation (or astronomical scintillation). Stars twinkle when we see them from the Earth's surface because we are viewing them through thick layers of turbulent (moving) air in the Earth's atmosphere. \n\nStars (except for the Sun) appear as tiny dots in the sky; as their light travels through the many layers of the Earth's atmosphere, the light of the star is bent (refracted) many times and in random directions (light is bent when it hits a change in density - like a pocket of cold air or hot air). This random refraction results in the star winking out (it looks as though the star moves a bit, and our eye interprets this as twinkling). \n\nStars closer to the horizon appear to twinkle more than stars that are overhead - this is because the light of stars near the horizon has to travel through more air than the light of stars overhead and so is subject to more refraction. Also, planets do not usually twinkle, because they are so close to us; they appear big enough that the twinkling is not noticeable (except when the air is extremely turbulent). \n\nStars would not appear to twinkle if we viewed them from outer space (or from a planet/moon that didn't have an atmosphere).

1,397,757	4Computers & Internet	I just learned to use THIS computer, and it is already outdated. How can a regular homeowner keep up today?	We are looking for SIMPLE ways to stay on top of a changing world. We do not buy a TV set every year and do not want to purchase computers that way either. There has got to be a better way than, "Just get a new one."	This really comes down to a question of "What do you want to do?". A lot of my friends ask me for advice when they are goign to buy a new computer. That is always the first question that I ask them. If you're just going to use a computer for Internet, email, and other simple tasks, then you do not need a top-of-the-line system, and can go a few years on what you have. If you are a hardcore gamer, then you obviously would need more processor, memory, a super graphics cards and sound card, and nice speakers. Then you would probably want to upgrade your graphics card every year or so to keep up with the games. The best way to "stay on top" of the ever changing technology landscape is to build a custom system (or have it built), and then everything will be modular. Make sure that the motherboad will accept processors on up the line, for a CPU upgrade in the future. This way, when you feel that your computer is too far behind, you can evaluate what you need to upgrade.

1,397,759	0Society & Culture	What is the purpose of existence? (#2)?	SChllmmoolfoooagoo! Stfooolfoooo!\n\nTRANSLATION:\nHello fellow answerers, I'm Sampson the Elephant.\n\nWhat do you, the impecunious commoners, feel is the purpose of humanity's existence? Are we to remain saturnine as a culture to a larger, more adavanced universe, or are we all alone in the first place, carefull sanctioned for life by the higher power? What do you think is the answerer the this imponderable question?\n\nThis translation brought to you by the GOP. That's the GOP- keeping feminists at bay since Elanor Roosevelt.	Everything you said was relative, really. Saturnine? Compared to what? I think that culture is changing fairly fast. And I wouldn't doubt that it's an exponential function, rather than arithmatic. So, if it's not rapid enough for you, rest assured, it will speed up. I also don't particularly think that it matters whether the earth is the special place of life or not, I think that's more the higher power's business than mine. And frankly, I have alot more money than most elephants I know.\nI don't think any of societies mechanations are the purpose of life, frankly. I also don't particularly think that it matters whether the earth is the special place of life or not, I think that's more the higher power's business than mine. Who am I to argue, it's not like I'm ever going to understand the grand plan. \nSo for me and my life,I think it's all about struggle. It's a fight to survive, and we all lose, but it's not about the outcome of the struggle, it's about the struggle. I love it. It makes me feel like I have direction. And ithat direction is through as much time as possible.

The Scientific Method consists of certain principles and procedures for the systematic pursuit of knowledge. This involves the recognition of the problem and careful description of it in order to understand exactly what you are studying. This is followed by collection of data by experimentation and observation of the thing under study. From this gathering of data, you than are able to formulate hypotheses and test them.

Even though the typhoid injection is already dead, your body will make antibodies against it anyway, and keep you safe from the disease.
1,397,765	7Entertainment & Music	What's this movie? Late 70s/Early 80's Single mother of young girl and teenage boy - house is haunted?	This movie was made in either the late 70's or early 80's/ It is about a women who is a single mother (husband is either dead or out of the picture) of two children a teenage (16/17) boy and a young girl (10-12). She starts experiencing something in her house...she feels like she is getting assaulted/raped but there is nothing there. She comes to believe it's a ghost, she visits a psychiatrist who tries to help her but believes she is crazy...he even suggests she is having fantasies about her attractive teenage son. It turns out there is some sort of evil entity, ghost hunters come to her house and then come up with a way to trap the ghost using some sort of freezing liquid in a "fake" model of her house...using her as bait. What is the name of this movie???	Sounds like "The Entity". Had Barbara Hershey playing the lead character and Ron Silver played the psychiatrist. It was based on a true story.

1,397,767	1Science & Mathematics	An airplane makes a vertical circle in which it is upside down at the top of the loop. Will the passengers. .?	fall out of their seats if there is no belt to hold them in place?	It depends on the speed of the plane V and the radius of the circle R. The centripetal acceleration (acceleration of the plane toward the center of the circle) is V^2/R. If V is in ft/sec and R is in ft, the answer is in ft/sec^2. If this number is greater than gravitational acceleration (32 ft/sec^2) the passengers stay in their seats; if less than G they fall out of their seats, and if equal to G they are in free fall and can easily drift from their seats. Google "vomit comet" for a practical illustration of the principle.
1,397,768	5Sports	Why are the referees so extremely bad at this tournament?		In my opinion, FIFA has made it clear that all refs must convert to "their" style of officiating, by calling penalities on anything and everything, even if not "seen", but sold, ala Italy and their amazing ability to lay on the ground like fish or whores in heat. \n\nBy calling for more fouls right before the World Cup, FIFA is creating a nightmare by taking refs themselves out of their normal calling game, in lieu of "FIFA's wants and needs". Its a shame - but hey - considering they won't render a decision of Italian bribes, fraud, etc of players , coaches and Italian refs until AFTER the World Cup - we clearly know their intent and favorites. \n\nThen there are Lorrando officials - who are just so horrible and a joke - that the only explanation is FIFA are corrupt scumbags who are selecting corrupt, scumbag refs. Lorrando was removed from the 2002 World Cup, after his own countries (Uruguay) suspended himn for "inconsistencies" in over 4 international matches and bribes. \nFor any FIFA apologist - expalin how and why FIFA selected a ref who has already been found to be a liar, a crook and a man with zero intergrity and respect for the sport. There are hundreds of qualified refs in the world - why "reselect" a known violator and coward?

1,397,779	0Society & Culture	why does the vatican insist on giving the same sermon everyday to all their churches worldwide?	is it afraid of losing control?did jesus taught this?	You've got a peculiar idea about Catholics - for starters, Catholics rarely do "sermons." Priests preach homilies - in other words, they talk about the scriptures that were read.\n\nWhat we do have the same - all over the world - is the same liturgy. That is the same bible readings are read, and the same prayers are recited. We have a three year cycle - Year A, Year B, Year C. In each year there are a couple of dozen weeks of what is called "ordinary time", and there are other weeks that are thematic - Easter, Christmas, Lent, Advent. In a sense the Vatican isn't "in control" by this any more than anyone is - priests of the Pope's diocese and the Pope himself have to follow the church's standard liturgical year, just like everyone else.\n\nLiturgy is about exalting the word of God, and not exalting the word of the pastor. Evangelical pastors ramble from biblical passage to passage, talking about what they want to talk about. Creflo Dollar can quote scripture - but he does so in a way that exalts himself, not Jesus.\n\nLiturgy ensures priests and bishops preach about Easter at Easter, Christmas at Christmas, etc. Lutherans and Episcopalians use pretty much the same lectionary (the same schedule of bible readings, if you will) as the Catholics. That way the major churches of the western world stay in synch.

TNA isn't owned by Vince so no they wont be invading WWE anytime soon, as ECW and WCW are owned by Vince McMahon thats why the whole invasion thing happened.\n\nTNA is already an opposing force to Vince, otherwise Vince wouldn't started up ECW, he feels threatened by TNA becuase of his former stars jumping ship (Dudleys, Rhino, Christian), and the fact that more and more people are seeing TNA as the new alternative, which it is. \n\nWhile WWE keeps looking back to the past and bringing back all the old stuff like DX and ECW, and pushing the big muscly guys with no talent, TNA has in my opinion one of the greatest creations in wrestling today, The X Division, guys that can actually wrestle and bust out jaw dropping moves and great technical wrestling, TNA realises that busting out the old stuff from the past will only work for while and people would rather have fresh, innovative ideas like the X Division. \n\nSo yes at the moment TNA is somewhat of a threat to WWE, but it is only the tip of the iceberg for what they can achieve.\n\nChristian put it pretty good in in his first TNA promo when he said that the WWE is like WCW in its dieing days, using stale ideas and pushing the old guys, and TNA is now like the WWF in its heyday.
1,397,788	3Education & Reference	I'm studying English,help me!?	Which do you use more often? "Thank you, I really appreciate!" or "Thank you I really appreciate it!"

For more relaxed circumstances a number of other, briefer comments would be equally appropriate. \nFor example: \n\nThanks\nThank you\nThanks a lot\nThanks much\n\nAnd dozens more could be sited. "Thanks or Thank you" is quite appropriate in almost any informal setting, like a conversation with friends on the street or at the mall, or a comment made in a letter or an email.\n\nFrom reading your question I think you are doing well.

Ooooooooooh.\n\nWhen the USSR crumbled, the Taliban still had weapons and tanks and countries including us, the US, still gave a little assistance to help fight off a growing Iranian threat.\n\nThen the Taliban started veering farther to the extreme right of Islam, cutting ties with former "allies" and gaining control of an Islam ruled Afghanistan, with a growing hate for former ally the US.\n\nSeveral bombings around the world at US embassies and here at the WTC in 1993 are Taliban-led.\n\nEnter 9/11, and you get a reaction that is strong, and decisively necessary for Afghanistan to get any semblance of control back from the leaders who wanted nothing but power.\n\nI don't believe the numbers you've given, and the carpet bombing you speak of happened only in the mountains where Bin Laden was said to be hiding. Not many civilians living in caves, you know?\n\nDoes that help?\n\nOh, and people talk about poor and weak nations over there, but they forget the POOREST nation which is Haiti.

what kind of man can kill 50000 people (in Iraq) in order to take oil?

if 50 000 civilians are killed in this war estmated 2/3 should be women and children. Not insurgents not terrorists. Republicans it is time to face reality. It is not a game anymore.

Do you think they care? Republicans are greedy, self-righteous, arrogant bastards who only care about their rich, corporate buddies, their superior morality, and money! They believe the rich are important and the rest of us should just obey their every demand, because they know what is best. Hope for a Democratic victory this election in both houses of Congress, so we restore common-sense and concern for the average Joe.

ASEAN is really a little-heard-about-but-wonderful association. The goal of ending a lot of the socioeconomic hardship is a noble one, and will be hard to achieve. The benefits of it?

Can you explain a real estate Short Sale thoroughly?

Correct..A shortsale is when an Real Estate Investor discounts the mortgage for less of what there asking for.Banks have to do this because they can not have non performing notes on there record.Also when a property is in foreclosure the Bank Already got paid the whole note or amount borrowed through the FDIC..This is why Real Estate is always good..Regardless what the market saids.\n\nGood Luck\n\nwww.foreclousreavoidance.ws

I just won 18 million from the lotto.. Do you have any ideas on how I can use it to help people?

Helping Hand Allocation of funds\n\nFirst of all, if you really want to help people with your money, DO NOT GIVE IT TO ANY CHARITABLE OR GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION WHATSOEVER. These institutions are nothing more than huge tax shelters that are run by greedy babyboomers and wannabe politicians. Use the money in a way that would actually HELP people. Giving your money to the Government is about the equivilent of flushing it down your toilet or tossing it out of a window....you choose the cliche'. Make damn sure that you are the one who is actually making the purchases. Examples on how to help people: \n1. Purchase a home for a family.\n2. Invest it in a local/small business.\n3. Sponsor a high school baseball team.(New uniforms, etc.)\n4. Purchase a car for someone.\n5. Repair someones credit.(Preferably not a deadbeat, more like someone who has lost their job or something along those lines)\n6. Donate some $$$ to a city rescue mission.\n7. Buy groceries for a family.\n8. Help a local garage band with equipment/recording cost..etc.\n9. Purchase new computers/books/desks/whatever for a school.\n10. Give some $$$ to a Church that has a well known reputation for charity.(Regardless of your Dogmatic beliefs a lot of local churches are masterminds at charity events.)\n\nWhat I have listed above are not exact options that I'm giving you, simply examples on the kinds of things that would really make a difference in a persons/families/whatever life. In the event that you actually have 18M, I would advise against giving any charitable/Government organizations a dime. I hate to beat a dead horse, but its the truth. When it comes to money, you should view the Government as The Anti-Christ/Devil/Hitler/Murderer / Rapist /Random thing that you hate. Simply put, make sure you alone are in charge of the allocation of funds. Hot damn.\n\n-J.

Churches in the Cheyenne area?

I'm moving to the Cheyenne, WY area and would like to find a church there. I don't care too much what the denomination is, but would prefer to find a more liberal church (no sermons on how homosexuals are going to hell and all that).

Hippa laws can a drs office take a bill to your employer to give to you not sealed?

I work for a collection agency and one of our clients took a bill to a patients work place and had the presidnet of the company give the bill to the patient. does this break federal hippa laws

I'm a dentist.\n\nAs I understand it, private health information that is readily accessible to and discoverable by thid parties not authorized to see it is considered a HIPAA violation.\n\nFor example, if I leave a patient's chart lying on my desk, readily accessible to cleaning crew, that is a HIPAA violation.\n\nNow, giving a bill to a patient's co-worker might be different because it is (or at least should be) assumed that co-workers of the patient have an obligation to not read other peoples' mail.\n\nOf course, if the bill was simply given as a straight piece of paper whose contents were in plain sight of anyone handling it, then I'd say it's a clear HIPAA violation. If the bill was folded and in order for someone to read its contents they had to unfold it, then it might not be a HIPAA violation because the co-worker was not supposed to unfold the document to begin with (assuming that this hypothetical co-worker knew for whom the document was intended prior to opening it). Generally, when you fold a document, you do it for the purpose of 1. fitting it in an envolope, or 2. hiding the contents. Obviously, for someone to unfold a document, they are making a deliberate effort to discover its contents. Finally, if the document was in an envelope, then as far as I'm concerned it's a pretty clear-cut case of a co-worker being nosy.\n\nI'm no lawyer, but as a doctor I do have to follow HIPAA guidelines closely (or at least be aware of them) because violations can cost be costly.

I have been around tennis professionals for quite some time. I have worked with professionals, I have traveled with professionals, I have given advice to professionals. At that level of tennis the players are unbelievably talented, I can say without question that it is as close to impossible as you can get. The odds would be like winning the Super lottery on back to back draws. That is considering you started with a world class athlete to begin with, and had a team of the best coaches in the world working with him or her 8 hours a day every day. It would be the same as asking if someone could win a major PGA grandslam event after playing golf for only two years. For all practical purposes it is impossible, and anyone that says otherwise does not understand the skill level at the professional level. Anyone that has worked with professionals, i am sure will tell you exactly the same thing.

Fatal Attraction?

Okay, here's the story...I'm educated, I have a good career, and consider myself a pretty stable individual; however, I'm also a human being, capable of making mistakes. I have 3 teenage children from a previous marriage and I've been with Dawson for 8 years (engaged for 2). Not long ago, Dawson and I were having some major trouble in our relationship; in fact, we were talking very seriously about separating. It was hard on us both. Well, during this time, I met Sam at work. Sam and I developed a pretty strong friendship that evolved into something else. We had an intimate relationship for about 2 months. It ended when Sam began expecting me to leave Dawson. It finally dawned on me what a fool I was, shaking the stable life my 3 children had, and endangering an 8 year relationship. I was so ashamed. So, I had a long talk with Sam and, as far as I was concerned, it was over. We no longer work the same shift at work. Since then, Sam calls me constantly, threatening to tell everyone....

I feel for ya. I went thru kinda same thing....unfortunatly it ended in tragety. Best thing you can do is, go ahead & tell him truth. I know your a nervous wreck. Telling may get rid of Sam. I know Dawson will have to have time to think bout what you have done to him. If he really loves you, he will give you a second chance, but most of that trust will be lost. If he doesnt....then there is nothing you can do. Just know you made a mistake and learn from it.

How do i tell a root note of a chord on a guitar!?

One good way is to follow the bass line and match it up with the chord. There's a good chance that either the bassline will reflect the root note or be closely related to it. However, the best way to discover the root note of a chord is to look at what the scale pattern is doing and use your common sense to suss out the progression. Another thing to look for is a dual relationship by way of 5ths and 4ths to a note or a note and an octave. In the final anlysis it will become meaningless because once you play with a degree of dexterity and fluidity you will no longer think of the notes theoretically but experience them with a kind of other sense. For now you probably should pick up a copy of The Mel Bay Chord Book and learn every chord in it. Good luck and keep playing!

Aren't religions HYPOCRITICAL. They say that everyone is EQUAL, however they oppose WOMEN priests and bishop

ALSO, THE BIBLE SAYS NOTHING ABOUT CREATING DIFFERENT TYPES OF HUMAN, SUCH AS THE HOBBIT AND NEANDERTHAL MAN. IT IS SAID THEY WERE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SPECIES. WHAT DOES THE CHURCH HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT?

Men and women are equal in God's sight in respect to his love for them and in respect to their salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.\n\nBut God created men and women with different roles. Just because a woman becomes a Christian doesn't mean that she isn't called to bear children for example. In the context of marriage the divine order is Jesus is in charge, the man is supposed to follow Him and the woman is supposed to follow her husband as he follows Christ.\n\nThat doesn't make men better than women. It just means that God has ordained different roles for each gender. That's why back in Genesis 2 God said he would make a suitable helper for the man when He created Eve.\n\nIf He had done it the other way around then He would still have had to have an order because God is not the author of confusion.

What is Time?

We all know that clocks measure time. But clocks are complex physical systems and hence are subject to imperfection, breakage, and disruptions of electrical power. If I take any two real clocks, synchronise them, and let them run, after some time, they will always disagree about what time it is. \n\n\nSo which of them measures the real time? Indeed, is there a single, absolute time which, although measured imperfectly by any actual clock, is the true time of the world? It seems there must be, otherwise, what do we mean when we say that some particular clock runs slow or fast? On the other hand, what could it mean to say that something like an absolute time exists if it can never be precisely measured? \n\n\nA belief in an absolute time raises other paradoxes. Would time flow if there were nothing in the universe? If everything stopped, if nothing happened, would time continue?\nOn the other hand, perhaps there is no single absolute time. In that case, time is only what clocks measure and, as there are many clocks and they all, in the end, disagree, there are many times. Without an absolute time, we can only say that time is defined relative to whichever clock we choose to use. \n\n\nThis seems to be an attractive point of view, because it does not lead us to believe in some absolute flow of time we can't observe. But it leads to a problem, as soon as we know a little science. \nOne of the things physics describes is motion, and we cannot conceive of motion without time. Thus, the notion of time is basic for physics. Let me take the simplest law of motion, which was invented by Galileo and Descartes, and formalised by Isaac Newton: A body with no forces acting on it moves in a straight line at a constant speed. Let's not worry here about what a straight line is (this is the problem of space, which is perfectly analogous to the problem of time, but which I won't discuss here). To understand what this law is asserting, we need to know what it means to move at a constant speed. This concept involves a notion of time, as one moves at a constant speed when equal distances are covered in equal times. \n\n\nWe may then ask: With respect to which time is the motion to be constant? Is it the time of some particular clock? If so, how do we know which clock? We must certainly choose because, as we observed a moment ago, all real clocks will eventually go out of synchronisation with one another. Or is it rather that the law refers to an ideal, absolute time? \nSuppose we take the point of view that the law refers to a single, absolute time. This solves the problem of choosing which clock to use, but it raises another problem, for no real, physical clock perfectly measures this imagined, ideal time. How could we truly be sure whether the statement of the law is true, if we have no access to this absolute, ideal time? How do we tell whether some apparent speeding up or slowing down of some body in a particular experiment is due to the failure of the law, or only to the imperfection of the clock we are using? \n\n\nNewton, when he formulated his laws of motion, chose to solve the problem of which clock by positing the existence of an absolute time. Doing this, he went against the judgements of his contemporaries, such as Descartes and Gottfried Leibniz, who held that time must be only an aspect of the relationships among real things and real processes in the world. Perhaps theirs is the better philosophy, but as Newton knew better than anyone at the time, it was only if one believed in an absolute time that his laws of motion, including the one we have been discussing, make sense. Indeed, Albert Einstein, who overthrew Newton's theory of time, praised Newton's "courage and judgement" to go against what is clearly the better philosophical argument, and make whatever assumptions he had to make to invent a physics that made sense. \n\n\nThis debate, between time as absolute and preexisting and time as an aspect of t

why stars twinkle?

The scientific name for the twinkling of stars is stellar scintillation (or astronomical scintillation). Stars twinkle when we see them from the Earth's surface because we are viewing them through thick layers of turbulent (moving) air in the Earth's atmosphere. \n\nStars (except for the Sun) appear as tiny dots in the sky; as their light travels through the many layers of the Earth's atmosphere, the light of the star is bent (refracted) many times and in random directions (light is bent when it hits a change in density - like a pocket of cold air or hot air). This random refraction results in the star winking out (it looks as though the star moves a bit, and our eye interprets this as twinkling). \n\nStars closer to the horizon appear to twinkle more than stars that are overhead - this is because the light of stars near the horizon has to travel through more air than the light of stars overhead and so is subject to more refraction. Also, planets do not usually twinkle, because they are so close to us; they appear big enough that the twinkling is not noticeable (except when the air is extremely turbulent). \n\nStars would not appear to twinkle if we viewed them from outer space (or from a planet/moon that didn't have an atmosphere).

I just learned to use THIS computer, and it is already outdated. How can a regular homeowner keep up today?

We are looking for SIMPLE ways to stay on top of a changing world. We do not buy a TV set every year and do not want to purchase computers that way either. There has got to be a better way than, "Just get a new one."

This really comes down to a question of "What do you want to do?". A lot of my friends ask me for advice when they are goign to buy a new computer. That is always the first question that I ask them. If you're just going to use a computer for Internet, email, and other simple tasks, then you do not need a top-of-the-line system, and can go a few years on what you have. If you are a hardcore gamer, then you obviously would need more processor, memory, a super graphics cards and sound card, and nice speakers. Then you would probably want to upgrade your graphics card every year or so to keep up with the games. The best way to "stay on top" of the ever changing technology landscape is to build a custom system (or have it built), and then everything will be modular. Make sure that the motherboad will accept processors on up the line, for a CPU upgrade in the future. This way, when you feel that your computer is too far behind, you can evaluate what you need to upgrade.

Are we to remain saturnine as a culture to a larger, more adavanced universe, or are we all alone in the first place, carefull sanctioned for life by the higher power? What do you think is the answerer the this imponderable question?\n\nThis translation brought to you by the GOP. That's the GOP- keeping feminists at bay since Elanor Roosevelt.

Everything you said was relative, really. Saturnine? Compared to what? I think that culture is changing fairly fast. And I wouldn't doubt that it's an exponential function, rather than arithmatic. So, if it's not rapid enough for you, rest assured, it will speed up. I also don't particularly think that it matters whether the earth is the special place of life or not, I think that's more the higher power's business than mine. And frankly, I have alot more money than most elephants I know.\nI don't think any of societies mechanations are the purpose of life, frankly. I also don't particularly think that it matters whether the earth is the special place of life or not, I think that's more the higher power's business than mine. Who am I to argue, it's not like I'm ever going to understand the grand plan. \nSo for me and my life,I think it's all about struggle. It's a fight to survive, and we all lose, but it's not about the outcome of the struggle, it's about the struggle. I love it. It makes me feel like I have direction. And ithat direction is through as much time as possible.

Can someone give me the full lyrics of 'rose' by Anna Tsuchiya and 'a little pain' by Olivia Lufkin?

'rose' is the opening theme for NANA the animation, sang by Anna Tsuchiya a.k.a NANA in the band named BLACK STONE. On the other hand, 'a little pain' is the ending theme for NANA the animation too, sang by Olivia Lufkin a.k.a REIRA in the band named TRAPNEST. I so in love with not only the animation but the comics, movie and music as well. These 2 songs are superb, you should check it out if you hadn't.

hi.. heres the lyrics to rose:\nrose\nVocals: ANNA inspi' NANA (BLACK STONES)\n\nWhen I was darkness at that time, trembling lips\nIn a corner of the room, I cry\nThe more I struggle the more my wound jabs\nA broken promise hurts me\n\nNobody can save me\nThere's only one god\nAs if stopping and splitting my love\n\nI need your love\nI'm a broken rose\nScattering sorrow, your song\nMy lonely life that has no place to be\n\nI need your love\nI'm a broken rose\nOh baby, help me from frozen pain\nWith your smiles, your eyes, and sing me, just for me\n\nI wanna need your love...\nI'm a broken rose\nI wanna need your love...

Science is the study of anything through application of what is known as The Scientific Method. The Scientific Method consists of certain principles and procedures for the systematic pursuit of knowledge. This involves the recognition of the problem and careful description of it in order to understand exactly what you are studying. This is followed by collection of data by experimentation and observation of the thing under study. From this gathering of data, you than are able to formulate hypotheses and test them.

does the typhoid shot have any medications that damage your arm?

i need to know THIS now, because i now know whether shots damage the arm or not. i took a typhoid shot and do not want my arm damaged. are there any drugs in the typhoid shot that damaged my arm?? :[[

No, but if you had the shot within the past 48 hours, there could be a little swelling and stiffness at the site of the injection. its just a mild reaction to the foreign substance in your body. your body has sent lots of killer blood cells to destroy the typhoid bacteria, and they will produce antibodies against it. Even though the typhoid injection is already dead, your body will make antibodies against it anyway, and keep you safe from the disease.

What's this movie? Late 70s/Early 80's Single mother of young girl and teenage boy - house is haunted?

This movie was made in either the late 70's or early 80's/ It is about a women who is a single mother (husband is either dead or out of the picture) of two children a teenage (16/17) boy and a young girl (10-12). She starts experiencing something in her house...she feels like she is getting assaulted/raped but there is nothing there. She comes to believe it's a ghost, she visits a psychiatrist who tries to help her but believes she is crazy...he even suggests she is having fantasies about her attractive teenage son. It turns out there is some sort of evil entity, ghost hunters come to her house and then come up with a way to trap the ghost using some sort of freezing liquid in a "fake" model of her house...using her as bait. What is the name of this movie???

Sounds like "The Entity". Had Barbara Hershey playing the lead character and Ron Silver played the psychiatrist. It was based on a true story. Here is a link with a picture and description of the movie.\n\nhttp://www.vh1.com/movies/movie/10687/moviemain.jhtml

An airplane makes a vertical circle in which it is upside down at the top of the loop. Will the passengers. .?

fall out of their seats if there is no belt to hold them in place?

It depends on the speed of the plane V and the radius of the circle R. The centripetal acceleration (acceleration of the plane toward the center of the circle) is V^2/R. If V is in ft/sec and R is in ft, the answer is in ft/sec^2. If this number is greater than gravitational acceleration (32 ft/sec^2) the passengers stay in their seats; if less than G they fall out of their seats, and if equal to G they are in free fall and can easily drift from their seats. Google "vomit comet" for a practical illustration of the principle.

Why are the referees so extremely bad at this tournament?

In my opinion, FIFA has made it clear that all refs must convert to "their" style of officiating, by calling penalities on anything and everything, even if not "seen", but sold, ala Italy and their amazing ability to lay on the ground like fish or whores in heat. \n\nBy calling for more fouls right before the World Cup, FIFA is creating a nightmare by taking refs themselves out of their normal calling game, in lieu of "FIFA's wants and needs". Its a shame - but hey - considering they won't render a decision of Italian bribes, fraud, etc of players , coaches and Italian refs until AFTER the World Cup - we clearly know their intent and favorites. \n\nThen there are Lorrando officials - who are just so horrible and a joke - that the only explanation is FIFA are corrupt scumbags who are selecting corrupt, scumbag refs. Lorrando was removed from the 2002 World Cup, after his own countries (Uruguay) suspended himn for "inconsistencies" in over 4 international matches and bribes. \nFor any FIFA apologist - expalin how and why FIFA selected a ref who has already been found to be a liar, a crook and a man with zero intergrity and respect for the sport. There are hundreds of qualified refs in the world - why "reselect" a known violator and coward?

that can't be more than a PII processor. I wouldn't put XP on that. Even if you do manage to get it on (which I doubt you will) your notebook won't have the processing power to run XP satisfactorily - it will be sluggish and barely capable of running two apps at a time.\n\nBad idea all around if you ask me.

why does the vatican insist on giving the same sermon everyday to all their churches worldwide?

is it afraid of losing control?did jesus taught this?

You've got a peculiar idea about Catholics - for starters, Catholics rarely do "sermons." Priests preach homilies - in other words, they talk about the scriptures that were read.\n\nWhat we do have the same - all over the world - is the same liturgy. That is the same bible readings are read, and the same prayers are recited. We have a three year cycle - Year A, Year B, Year C. In each year there are a couple of dozen weeks of what is called "ordinary time", and there are other weeks that are thematic - Easter, Christmas, Lent, Advent. In a sense the Vatican isn't "in control" by this any more than anyone is - priests of the Pope's diocese and the Pope himself have to follow the church's standard liturgical year, just like everyone else.\n\nLiturgy is about exalting the word of God, and not exalting the word of the pastor. Evangelical pastors ramble from biblical passage to passage, talking about what they want to talk about. Creflo Dollar can quote scripture - but he does so in a way that exalts himself, not Jesus.\n\nLiturgy ensures priests and bishops preach about Easter at Easter, Christmas at Christmas, etc. Lutherans and Episcopalians use pretty much the same lectionary (the same schedule of bible readings, if you will) as the Catholics. That way the major churches of the western world stay in synch.

Do think TNA Wrestling will ever be a big opposing force for the WWE?

Do think TNA Wrestling will ever be a big opposing force for the WWE? Do you think it could be the next WCW?

TNA isn't owned by Vince so no they wont be invading WWE anytime soon, as ECW and WCW are owned by Vince McMahon thats why the whole invasion thing happened.\n\nTNA is already an opposing force to Vince, otherwise Vince wouldn't started up ECW, he feels threatened by TNA becuase of his former stars jumping ship (Dudleys, Rhino, Christian), and the fact that more and more people are seeing TNA as the new alternative, which it is. \n\nWhile WWE keeps looking back to the past and bringing back all the old stuff like DX and ECW, and pushing the big muscly guys with no talent, TNA has in my opinion one of the greatest creations in wrestling today, The X Division, guys that can actually wrestle and bust out jaw dropping moves and great technical wrestling, TNA realises that busting out the old stuff from the past will only work for while and people would rather have fresh, innovative ideas like the X Division. \n\nSo yes at the moment TNA is somewhat of a threat to WWE, but it is only the tip of the iceberg for what they can achieve.\n\nChristian put it pretty good in in his first TNA promo when he said that the WWE is like WCW in its dieing days, using stale ideas and pushing the old guys, and TNA is now like the WWF in its heyday.

I'm studying English,help me!?

Which do you use more often? "Thank you, I really appreciate!" or "Thank you I really appreciate it!"

"Thank you, I really appreciate it!", Is the more correct form of the statement. Keep in mind, "Thank you, I really appreciate it!" is a relatively formal phrase. For more relaxed circumstances a number of other, briefer comments would be equally appropriate. \nFor example: \n\nThanks\nThank you\nThanks a lot\nThanks much\n\nAnd dozens more could be sited. "Thanks or Thank you" is quite appropriate in almost any informal setting, like a conversation with friends on the street or at the mall, or a comment made in a letter or an email.\n\nFrom reading your question I think you are doing well. This is an excellent place to ask the type of question you asked. I do have one suggestion. Use either an exclamation point (!) or a question mark (?) but not both. From my experience either of the following would be considered more correct.\n\nI'm studying English,help me!\nI'm studying English,can anyone help me? \n\nThe differences are minor, and maybe not worth mentioning but you may as well learn it correctly.

I am a 26 year old male 16-stone(about 220pound) 5foot eleven inche. I put on nearly 5 stone in a year starting 2004 and have now lost nearly 3 stone again through diet and exercise. I put the weight on around the time i left the army. For past two weeks i have been running nearly 5 miles 5 days out of 7, since stopping smoking a few weeks back. Just wondering if due to my current weight there is any risk of heart attack from doing so much. Bearing in mind my weight, hieght, age and past army fitness(i left army in sept 2004).

You're chances are VERY low! I'm sure you're fine. You might have some heartburn or a little high anxiety. That is the usual cause of chest pain, etc. Just relax. If it's really driving you crazy, go to your GP and have them do some tests on your heart and blood pressure for some peace of mind. If you quit smoking, that's a step in the right direction!

Can anybody explain please?

Former super power USSR invaded Afghanistan. Countless people were killed by the dreaded Red Army during the invasion and then during the resistance war and villages and cities were heavily bombarded. After the USSR retrieval the other Super power USA invaded the same country and made the paste of hundreds of thousands of people and destroyed every thing with most dreaded bombing of the history the CARPET BOMBING and this hell is continuously being extending to them. \nIrony is that government was the pimps and the people were friends of USSR and again when USA invaded the people of that country were not enemy of USA. They are being slaughtered in the name of Osama. What a fate of that nation who is among the poorest and weakest nations???

i'm surprised there aren't better answers to this "question".\n\nYou're right to bring up the USSR since it plays a major role in todsy's afghanistan. let me see if i can explain it a little better.\n\nWhen the USSR invaded Afghanistan decades ago, the "Red Scare" made the US give weapons and tanks to fight off the Communists. the organization that the US and other countries were giving supplies to was *trumpet sounds* the Taliban. Ooooooooooh.\n\nWhen the USSR crumbled, the Taliban still had weapons and tanks and countries including us, the US, still gave a little assistance to help fight off a growing Iranian threat.\n\nThen the Taliban started veering farther to the extreme right of Islam, cutting ties with former "allies" and gaining control of an Islam ruled Afghanistan, with a growing hate for former ally the US.\n\nSeveral bombings around the world at US embassies and here at the WTC in 1993 are Taliban-led.\n\nEnter 9/11, and you get a reaction that is strong, and decisively necessary for Afghanistan to get any semblance of control back from the leaders who wanted nothing but power.\n\nI don't believe the numbers you've given, and the carpet bombing you speak of happened only in the mountains where Bin Laden was said to be hiding. Not many civilians living in caves, you know?\n\nDoes that help?\n\nOh, and people talk about poor and weak nations over there, but they forget the POOREST nation which is Haiti.
