You only get one bullet. Bush or Osama?
seriously? the answer is obvious -- Osama is the one who killed thousands of innocent people who were just on their way to work for no (good) reason. you may not like bush for political reasons (and it is a free country so you are entitled to your opinion), but he is trying his best to lead our country in trying times. It's ok to be critical of the man in power and question his policies -- but you should also respect the office and how difficult it is to lead this country. I know I couldn't do it. You should be ashamed of yourself for even posting this question and promoting violence against the leader of our country -- who was elected in our democratic system, I might add.

i want to reduce my weight abt 10 pounds in 1 week for a special occasion..want are the possible ways?
First and foremost thing is to check the amount of calories you intake daily. Try to maintain your calorie level possibly to 1500. Stop taking excessive foods or foods with high calorie levels like choclates, ice creams or any form of sweets. \nWorkout daily for 2-3 hours a day--a brisk walk or a Gym--though it will induce your body system to eat more--eat less.\nAvoid junk foods and eat normally with less oily stuff foods. \nThis will help you to reduce some amount of weight not a drastic amount, which is not advisable..

i have found in his cell phone bill so many restricted number most they have happend the same time of day and the same days of week
There's no need to hire a Private Dick, because you're 90% sure that your Dick is cheating. No need to throw him out of the house, he will beg to come back, what has that gained? (nothing). If you feel it in your gut, and he has done it before, let him go, it will hurt but let it go! The woman that he's seeing has no self respect for herself, let alone you. And do not say that stupid slogan that a lot of people use, (He comes home to me), Of course after his balls can't float they're empty, sure he's coming home to you. If you keep taking his word, then he knows I can tell her anything and she'll believe me. Be strong let that disease go!

What kind of bad behaviour(out of social ethics) that you really hate them? Can you name it?
Poor table manners: chewing with a mouth full of food, talking with a mouth full of food, making weird noises, chugging drinks, licking fingers with loud smacking noises, burping and passing gas at the table.\n\nPeople who don't wash their hand after using the restroom and then want to share food with you (obviously these are friends, not random people from the restroom)\n\nPeople who are loud and obnoxious in public for attention.\n\nI think that I have too many to count.

what's the difference between randomized controlled trials and prospective randomized trials?
Is one better than the other in terms of medical research?
I think you are really asking about the meaning of a prospective trial. Both Retrospective (looking backward) and Prospective (looking forward) trials can be randomized and controlled. \n\nProspective trials generally offer more solid evidence than retrospective trials. Randomization and controls help to validate the legitimacy of the findings.\n\nHope this helps. Best wishes.

How is soil formed.?
Geography.
Soil is formed from weathering.\nWeathering is the breaking down of rocks into small fragments.Lets say rocks are very close together due to the changes in temperature cold to hot and then hot to cold they(the rocks' external and internal forces cause it to expand and contract ).after prolonged expansions and contractions ,cracks appear and the rocks disintergrate gradually and they form soil .

Did Bush really bomb the twin towers?
i ask this because i watched a movie called "loose change" it really has supporting evidence that shows that Bush or the government "planned" the attack on the trade centers. im just curious.
the government knew about it, they just didn't do anything about it. it gave them a reason to go and attack iraq. it's just another step closer to a world lead by one person, the anti-christ. remember, iraq and the rest of the middle east aren't the only ones that are under the influence of propaganda, we are too... it's just a matter of whether we listen to it or not.

I was wondering if everyone/anyone thinks it is ok to have your exs contact information in your phone when....
you have a new bf or gf. I have been dating my gf for almost a year and she has her xbfs contact info in her phone. They broke up 4 months before I met her. Her defense is she needs to have his and others info so if they ever call she knows who is calling and she can avoid the call. She thinks she has the upper hand by not having to answer and ask "who is this". It is not only her xbf nor is it strictly on the phone, she has contact information for a number of guys that she has met on singles sites. She doesnt call these people and they dont call her, but these are people she exchanged info with after meeting on a singles site. The info was exchanged because there was romantic interest between the two and somehow or another it didnt work out. Eventually we met and have been together for a year but she has people on her buddylist and in her phone that she doesnt contact. She keeps them there so she can block herself from them when they are signed on. Is this acceptable or ok?
It sounds cool to me. I have multiple ex bfs in my phone and I would never cheat on a guy even if I was unhappy with the relationship. Unfortunately sometimes ex contact is necessary. Don't fret.

For the function f(x) = sin (arctan x), is sin the same as arctan X?
arctan x should be interpreted as "the angle whose tangent is x". So draw a right triangle and include an angle whose tangent is x. Then figure out the sine of that angle in terms of x and you're done.\n\nEasiest way to do this is to let the side opposite the angle be x and the side adjacent to the angle be 1. Then the hypotenuse will have length sqrt(1+x^2).

2002 Yamaha XLT800 waverunner\nBottom'd out\nSucked in sand and small rocks\n-Need instructions on how to clean this crap out!\n---Thanks for all help!!
Damn, I did the same thing to mine last weekend! Lucky for me, I just pushed it back into the water after running up on an unseen sand bar - and it started right back up, no problems. I dunno about yours though -- I guess it would really depend on how much debris you sucked up in the intake. I think all I had was a little bit of sand, no rocks. Gotta be careful not to damage the turbines. If it's bad, I'd probably call Yamaha and get them to tell me what they thought. Good luck.

Can anyone share their battle with addiction?
Any kind of addiction.. Gambling, drugs.. etc.... I am doing some research, and I would like some feedback.. Thank you..
i was addicted to ice and was a major pot head . the ice only for about a year . but i have never been addicted to anything more.\nin my life.with ice it's like speed. and i was in a bad point in my life . i don't even know why i kept doing it at first it made me sick every time i did it. and i mean very sick i wouldn't even be able to get out of bed.i remember i had a bag of it and it sat in mt drawer for like a month. i was doing coke instead. but i would spend like 80 bucks a day and just wanted more . right after i did it it was like i hadn't even done it.so i started doing a tiny bit of ice again\nand all of a sudden it stopped making me sick. at first it wasn't that bad i could give my last line to a friend and not think twice. \nbut the next think i knew not only would i not share but I'd take my \nfriends if i got the chance. even if i had plenty i would still buy more so i didn't run out . i started getting speed bumps all over my face. and i would sit down at the computer and stay there for 2 days only stopping to do a line. and i would fuck up the computer to the point it wouldn't run . and then sit there 2-3 more days until i fixed it. i did not want to talk to anyone i just wanted to be alone . i wouldn't answer the phone .i just rotted away in a big pile of ice . i was seeing someone at the time . who loved me i knew it and loved them to . i just couldn't pull my head out of my ass long enough to care . then one day i found out i was going to be a dad . i was told i would never have kids . and the day i found out i just stoped. no rehab nothing. i was sick i slept all the time \nfor like 2 weeks straight . i just couldn't stay awake. and i would dream about ice all the time and think about all the time . \ni had to stop being friends with all my friend . everyone\nso i wouldn't be tempted. and slowly i stoped thinking about it every day. and the next thing i knew i had a beautiful baby girl.\ni still smoked pot up until right after she was born. and i realized\ni couldn't be the best dad i could be stoned and after 13 years of smoking pot i stoped that too. and thats that.

Is it difficult to remove and install a new chain on a bike?
I just bought a used schwinn mountain bike. It is in good condition but has a rusty chain. I think I might need to replace it- but I would like to do it myself b/c I am low on money. Is it hard to replace a chain? Any tips/reccomendations on how to do it? Or should I just pay to have it done?
paying to have it done is about the same as doing it yourself once! Buy a chain-break tool, they are about $12 and can be used over and over again. One suggestion if you plan to reuse a chain though is not to remove the pin completely from the chain, its a pain to realign. Other than that should only take 20 minutes to change chains.

Why are some heterosexual people into gays movies, manga, and books?
In Japan, gay male manga is loved. Some people like the recent gay movies. Some women like GAY guy porn!!!! I am just trying to get into the minds of people who like such things. Doesn't it go against some of those people morals?
I'd say there are a number of diffeent reasons for people to be interested in this sort of thing.\n\nFor one, lesbians and gays have become more accepted than ever before in the past couple decades, which is something new to certain groups of older people, homosexual or not. and it's something interesting to younger people too because there is really no History of Gay People and thus the big 'boom' is sort of a compensation for years of keeping it behind the curtains.\n\nAlso, for many heterosexual people, the lives and ways of gays and lebians can feel so different, like a different culture or something like that. They are a minority, you know. So it's like learning about them to watch these films and read these books, just like watching a movie about Canadians or something (haha). Sure, it's a bit stupid, cinsidering they AREN'T a different ethnicity or somehting, but people will go to many lengths to learn about things they don't understand.\n\nAnd then, of course, the idea of two men together, or two women together, can be twice as arousing as heterosexual romance/sex. I mean, instead of seeing someone of your own sex with the hottie, you get to see/imagine/read about two hotties! Haha...\n\nBut for me, the reason I find myself intrigued, is bacause they are the people who are all around me each day. More and more people, old and young are coming out, and when they are your friends and family, you sort of just come to see them as yor average Joe as much as heterosexual people are. I mean, if there are so many movies and books about heterosexual people, why not homosexual people too, right?\n\nNot to mention, het romance is so much more dull for me these days. I'm a writer and I read a lot, and homosexual fiction (female or male) just has so many more elements of drama and angst and all that jazz to it.\n\nAs far as the moral thing goes, I think it does go against a lot of people's morals, but they are learning to let their morals adapt to modern society or just accepting things as they are. That's life after all.\n\nHope that answered your question!

Can anyone explain to me why the speed of light has the particular value which we have measured as c in E=mc^2
OK, we know the speed of light in a vacuum is a constant. We've measured what it is. We speculate that this value might have changed over the lifetime of the universe. But what is the property of the universe which would cause the speed of light to change and why does it currently have the particular value of 299,792,458 metres per second. Can anyone derive this via some means other than simply working it out from measurement? I am curious.
It is a failing of the current theories of physics that the values of the key fundamental constants - of which c is one - cannot be derived but have to be measured and inserted into the equations. In other words, no-one knows what determines the speed of light.\n\nIt is true that the permittivity and permeability of free space are related to the speed of light, but the relationship is the other way around - they are what they are because the speed of light is what it is.\n\nThere have been two sources of thoughts that the speed of light may vary over time. One is theoretical, because it may help the sums work better when describing the early universe (i.e. moment after the big bang).\n\nThe other is experimental, and is controversial as it has not been independently confirmed (see link). This involves looking at light from galaxies so far away the light took billions of years to reach us - ie we are looking back to the early universe. But the measurements show a change in the fine structure constant, and not c directly, so there could be other sources of the discrepancies if the measurements are correct.

There is something going around (hotbar) that offers emoticons, for free. If you've downloaded it, you have opened up to an attack.

Buying Movie Rights?
I am thinking of a way to help promote and sell a product I own I think I can accomplish big sales by offering access to a secured website I own to download and watch movies for free for 30 days.\n\nSo how would I go about getting the rights to let customers watch movies for free on my website. Oh yea it will all be adult content.
Obviously someone's sadly mistaken thinking there's nothing illegal about it. In order to get the license you will have to contact the studio that produces the video. They'll discuss the pricing (if they're even willing) with you. You can then agree or disagree. One point to make though is they will require you use sometime of software to ensure the video is not seen after the time period allowed.

What is the position of earth at the time dimension in the universe?
Time is called a dimension because in Einstein's theory of relativity it makes mathematical sense to do so. Events happen in spacetime, 3 spatial and 1 time dimension. But their orientation in space and time relative to each other, depends on the observer and the relative speeds of the events.\n\nIn Einstein's formulas these dimensions are mixed by transformations depending on the velocities. This works only if we add time as a dimension. \n\nTo give the *position* of an event in four dimensional space-time you need to give a reference observer first, another event, relative to which you measure. And the answer will depend on your speed and the speed of the observer. And that is just what relativity means: the resulting coordinates or not the same for everybody but depend on the relative speeds.

How much heat energy is required to taise the temperature of 5 kilograms of coal from 20°C to 220°C?
A. 314 J\nB. 6,573 J\nC. 1,314,718 J\nD. 4,187,000 J
This question would have been much easier if the specific heat capacity of coal were known!\n\nNevertheless, let us model the coal to be anthracite of composition 85% graphite and rest 15% water. \nSo the s.h.c = 0.85*0.17 + 0.15*1 = 0.2945 cal/g-°C\nwhich gives heat required as 0.2945*(220-20)*5000 = 294500 cal\n=294500*4.184=1,232,188 J\nSo it seems the answer is C\n\nTo check this we can back calculate the s.h.c(specific heat capacity) using ans C which gives the graphite content in coal as 78.8% (quite realistic)\nUsing ans D the s.h.c is greater than for water(not physically possible) \nAnd A and B can be eliminated simply by order of magnitude analysis.\n\nIt seems most likely that C is the ans.

Call your bank as soon as possible and ask them to freeze your account(s). Then they will suggest to you what to do, which will most likely be to ceate a new account. To retrieve your frozen money, you will need your social security number and possibly your mother's maiden name.

do school leaders have an impact on student achievement?
should schools use remediation to help students be successful on standardized testing? How much input should school leaders have in deciding the best type of remediation to use?
Standardized tests are a waste of time.... increased student achievement and teacher accountability can be more easily, and cheaply, implemented through making a passing grade an 80% instead of a 60%, portfolio documentation of post-tests for each unit showing 80% or better mastery of the standard/benchmarks being addressed, and justification of advancement rather than justification of retention. Smaller class sizes would give the teachers the individual time with the students needed to ensure adequate progress... and justify placement in special education with even smaller class sizes and specialized instruction and curriculum if the student is not passing.\n\nThat being said.... the worst thing possible is for schools to be "teaching to the test." The concept of the testing is supposed to be a random sampling of skills based directly on grade-level state standards and benchmarks... and supposedly if the teachers have been teaching the standards and benchmarks, the kids will pass. However, the tests usually are a bit above grade level in their reading levels, vocabulary, and content expectations. They usually are given long before the end of the school year, so that teachers have to make the best guess they can about which benchmarks to cover before the test, and which after. The tests make the part of the school year that "counts" to be only five months rather than nine.\n\nIf you want to be a "school leader," help with curriculum mapping to ensure that benchmark instruction is maximized toward testing expectations, while maintaining effective instruction, re-teaching, student practice, and multi-sensory activities; instruction of metacognitive strategies for test taking for the students; and instruction of general education teachers in multiple learning strategies including those best used for gifted students (compaction, acceleration, depth of information, higher-order questioning, organizational skills), special education students and lower performing regular ed students (task analysis, phonics decoding approaches at all grade levels, multi-sensory, etc.) and ELL students (modeled and guided grammar, phonics decoding approaches, cultural and idiomatic expression, etc.).

Bass guitar-- I want to play but need to convince my parents, also good places to buy a decent one?
Ok, I'm 14 and I've been wanting to play bass guitar for almost a year now. I've been asking my parents if I can get lessons and they keep basically ignoring me. I dont read bass clef but I do read treble (for flute) so I don't think learning how to read music will be too hard for me. My main problem is convincing my parents. They think I'll lose interest in it and therefore don't want to get me a bass. I don't know where I can borrow or rent one for cheap, so I'm considering buying a cheap one with my own money. I'm looking for anything around or below $100, because what I've seen as the lowest price for a decent bass(that won't fall apart in 2 months) is $99 on www.musiciansfriend.com there is one good bass there but the sale is only for a few more days. Anyone want to give me help on where to buy/rent a decent bass and how to convince my parents? Also tips for playing would be nice, I'm looking to play rock/alt/punk... maybe in a band once I learn...
Well, $100 is tough because you'll also want an amp. The best bet is to go with a package from Fender or Ibanez for about 150, which should last you until you get good enough to require something better; they can be found on Musician's Friend or at your local music store. Odds are, for bass you don't have to know bass clef unless you want to play in a jazz ensemble at school, in which case you'll need a more serious instrument anyways.\n\nThe best way to convince your parents is to be absolutely tireless. Also, offer to work off the money and say you'll do extra chores. Otherwise, you'll have to find your own personal income, like raking or mowing lawns. And remember; don't give up. Christmas is just around the corner, and that may be something to convince them.\n\nAs for playing, I'd say find a tabs site (ultimate-guitar.com is a good site), learn how to read them, and then emulate your favorite players in the styles you like. After a few months when you've figured out where the notes are start improvising to songs where the bassline is nonevident, soloing and just working steadily. Finding friends to jam with helps, as you can play off of them and they, you. Keep a steady practice regimen of no less than 30 minutes a day. And most of all, don't prove your parents right and give up. Keep working and after 6 months you'll see a definiite jump in skill. After a year, you'll be good. After two, you'll be great, good enough that most local bands will pick you up in a heartbeat. Just persevere, and you'll do fine.\n\nAnd while lessons are important for some things, they're expensive and you can get just as good without them. Working hard will get you everything lessons will, if not as fast. I've done it, so don't worry; you'll get everything in the end.

Automatic savings. Open an IRA for retirement and automatically have $200 per month taken out of your pay and put in that account until you max out on the yearly limit. You could even more than $200 in now, since the year is half over.\n\nPay yourself first. You can't spend it if you never see it. Your old self will thank the smart young self that started saving.

how much do nextel cup drivers make a year?
Sponsors and team combined, I wonder how much drivers like Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. really make?
it all depends on the winnings they made per year, the sponser stuff they had.. and how much money they put back into the team.. and also it depends on how much the team makes and how good of a driver they are.. \nfor example, tony stewart probably banked the most last year b/c of being champion and having a hell of a sponser.. his earnings alone for his races were 6,987,535.. that doesn't include other income.. \nyeah, they make some pretty darn good money though...but they use a lot of that to help their career. a lot of driver's put money into planes to make travel easier, and be able to do more.. a lot of them get better motorcoaches as time goes on, and lot of them start plahying in owning cars/tracks and all that good stuff. i mean, sure, they are living a bit ncier than the average joe..but they make shit compared to most athletes, b/c their sport is so expensive to get into, and keep operating in in the first place.

HELP!! I want to buy a home but i dont know where to start!?
Im 23 years old. My last credit score in February was 649. I want to apply for some money to build a house but i dont even know where to start. I have an acre that im paying for (almost $700/month x 5 years) i already completed 1 year. what is the first step that i have to take? do i go to the bank? do i need a contractor? is it possible that they can pay land off that way i will only have one payment? this is all new to me, please help. my income is $36,000/year.
Well, chances are you will end up with a second rate finance company. Your score is a little yet. Most majors banks are not gonna touch you unless you have @ least 10% cash down. Since you are paying on land; you may be @ an advantage if it is a loan thru a bank or finance company. If it was yours free and clear, that would be your collateral. You need to know what type of home (plans) and price to build---get an estimate for the entire project from start to finish. Most importantly make sure you are able to drill a well there; if not on city water & sewage. Your income may be sufficient---as long as your debt to income ratio is less than 50%. You should be able to call any finance company/bank and get information without doing a credit check. Research all sources and get all paperwork(proposals, plans, etc......) before going for financing. Remember each credit inquiry reduces your points. Be straight up, tell them what you have, what you can do and they usually will tell you what your chances of approval are before running your credit.

Is there such a thing as Christain-Paganism???
Technically speaking, yes.\n\nMost Christian holidays (Easter and the Easter Bunny, for example) and rituals have their origins with pagan ceremonies. They were adopted by the Christian Church in an effort to abolish pagan practices- the logic was "hey, we have the same holiday, and we do it better, therefore your holiday is now outlawed".\n\nIn a sense, modern Christians unwittingly practice pagan ideals, and as such may be called, "Christian Pagans"\n\nYou will more than likely receive responses from those who say "CHRISTIANS ARE NOT PAGAN, WE WORSHIP OUR ONE TRUE GOD"\n\nBlind logic and assumptions without proof were also driving forces behind paganism. Funny, no?

Yes, it was included in the F1 calendar from 1950 through 1960. The sporting authorities (FIA) wanted to unify the two series. At one time (just prior to WW2 and just after) the engine formula for F1 and Indy were the same. So, when you look at lists of F1 race winners from those years, you will see the Indy winner.

There are many theories on that one. It might be that Adam and Eve were created along with the dinosaurs, and they could have lived in the Garden of Eden for millions if not billions of years before they took the fruit, with animals evolving around them. Or, the entire process of creation took billions of years, and the 7 days is just a symbol of time, and not an actual space of time, in which case it took the earth several billion years to be created, along with everyone and everything on it.
