3,403	1Science & Mathematics	What is the scientific name for the newly discovered tenth planet?	This scientific name is just temporary until astronomers find out more about this planet's features.	Xena. Planet Xena and her moon Gabriella. I'm not even kidding, that's what they named it. There is current debate as to whether or not it is actually planet because it is so small and so far out, but on that note there is also debate still going as to whether pluto is actually a planet or not. Really, it all depends on how you define planet. As far as I can tell, the debate is mostly due to how small they are as to whether or not they're actually planets and not just planetoids.

3,412	7Entertainment & Music	What is the James Taylor song, "Fire & Rain" about?		A girlfriend or friend that died in a plane crash. Actually:Taylor has related different versions of what the song is about. In a BBC interview he stated that the song chronicled his experiences in mental institutions and the suicide of a friend. More recently, on the VH1 series Story Tellers, Taylor said that the song was, indeed, about Suzanne MacKenzie, a friend of his who died suddenly while he was away from home. According to that account, he had been in a deep depression after the failure of his new band "Flying Machine" to coalesce (the lyric includes a reference to "sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground"; the reference is to the name of the band rather than a fatal plane crash, as was long rumored). As he was wondering what to do with himself, he received word of MacKenzie's death, and the song explains that her death was a check for his own worries, a way of realizing the transience of life and his need to get back to his old friends. In other interviews Taylor has also indicated that a battle with drug addiction figured into the song.\n\nThe song was originally written several years before its release and was refined over time; it appears probable that all the elements referenced by Taylor over time went into the final version.
3,413	1Science & Mathematics	what is the answer to (4x + 1) + ( -3x + 9 )?		This is not presented as an equation, so the goal appears to be to combine the rational expression --> x+10 \nThat's all you can do with the question as it is written.

3,416	9Politics & Government	Why do people elect leaders? Do they like being told what to do?	Most leaders get into office by promising to protect the people from the leaders of other nations.

3,417	2Health	Is there an effective, inexspensive OTC treatment for nail fungi?	Brittle, hard, and yellowing nails... How do you stop it?	I know someone who claims to have cured it with Vic’s Vapor Rub. I don't know if that's possible since it starts deep in the nail bed. There was a write up about it a few years ago in Runners World but it didn't mention nail fungus in particular. It just said it had good anti fungal properties.
3,418	5Sports	I have a small cow bell that reads Olympia Staduim, with red wings logo?	I have a small cow bell with a Detroit Red Wings logo and Olympia Stadium on it?

Or you could post it on ebay or something and see how crazy red wings fans can get (we can get pretty crazy sometimes). Its worth something, its before JLA.
3,419	9Politics & Government	Do you think Bush should be impeached for lying to the American People?		Yes, I do. But for which lie? I mean really...there have been so many of them, it's really hard to know where to start. There isn't enough space here to list them all, so I'll just do this: The link below will give a few of the more obvious recent ones.\n\nhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10578257/site/newsweek/?nav=slatefrom/RSS/\n\n\nWhile many of his lies resulted in needless destruction and massive losses of life around the world, unfortunately, he can't legally be prosecuted for them under our laws. Breaching the Constitution on the matter of wiretapping, however, is something he can and should be impeached...and removed from office for.\n\nWill it happen? No. Law and Justice mean nothing in this country when they come in conflict with partisan politics. \n\nEven if it did happen, would it help? No. I wouldn't expect any better out of Cheney, any Cabinet member, Frist, etc... Remove 4 or 5 of them from office, and you're still left more of the same.\n\nUnfortunately, there is no method for recalling a president and his entire administration. We just have to ride this storm out for 3 more years, and hope the Democrats and intelligent Republicans can limit the amount of damage that is done.\n\n---\n\nOn another note...\nClinton was impeached (basically) for lying about his personal activities under oath. I find it quite hypocritical that many of the same people who clammored for his impeachment are the same ones who support someone who openly lies, and remorselessly disregards the Constitution of the United States.\n\n-Lady Justice is hog-tied, and fearmongers are slowly strangling the Bill of Rights. I yearn for the day when America is a place I can actually be proud of again...

3,423	4Computers & Internet	what is mac spoofing?	Can public and private key cryptography be useful in preventing it	A MAC address is a predefined, but still changeable, hex number address of the network card inside your computer. A spoof is when someone changes thier computers MAC address to your address and attempts to gain access to your netwrok via this mac address. Yes public and private keys can help. Authentication is the only hope you have against mac address spoofing. EXAMPLE: A wireless router that is set up for access control looks at 3 things, the mac address, the computer name and a key (128 bit or cyphered) for authentication. If someone gets a mac and computer name of a system already authenticated to join the routers network the only thing keeping this computer from accessing your router is the keys. Preferably encryted keys. If you are talking crytography that would partain to, um, what, emails and that type of thing? Unless you are trying to trace a mac addy in en email address that is. Regardless of why u are tracking the mac addy, the use of keys for authentication of whatever the source is can possibly be the last line of defence to ensure the communication is from who it says it is supposed to be. but keep in mind that if someone, other than the person or computer who is legitimently supposed to have the keys, has the computer name and mac address you can probably bet that this person has the keys as well. If you think you are beeing mac spoofed and using keys, change the keys immeditely after the threat has been detected. This is only my opinion and not gospel, but i think it to be correct. Sometimes real world assesments look very different from text book assesments and the work around is totally different as well. Final thoughts: Get a land line phone and call whomever it is u want to securely communicate with when in doubt of a security breech. I hope I was helpful.
3,424	3Education & Reference	how do you file receipts on your tax returns?		You're not required to mail in all your receipts with your returns, just keep an itemized list of your expenses. KEEP THEM, just in case you get audited.
3,425	1Science & Mathematics	why does sterling silver leave marks on your skin?		If your skin turns green that means that it is not true silver, it is only coated. This coat however must be applied by charging the metal ions and dropping it in silver ions so that htey cling. Fake silver coats arent ionized therefore the silver can be substituted for nickel. The green substance is the nikel staining your skin as it comes off of the metal.

3,427	1Science & Mathematics	tides comes in large water bodies .why it is not coming in big lakes ?only it is coming in sea & ocean?		In order to show a measurable effect, the water bodies have to be really large in East-West expansion. Inland seas like the Baltic Sea have little discernible Lunar tide, less than a decimetre, and much less than "wind tides" which can easily change one metre.\n\nTides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. The entire water body alters its surface in reaction to the pull, on a much larger scale than the ground does. (Yes, that's true: the ground reacts to the moon by slight lifting and falling, too.)\n\nThe more east-west-distance is available, the more water will contribute to the changed equilibrium. The farther away the shore is, the deeper the new curve of the surface will intersect with sea ground level.\n\nReally high tides occur in funnel-shaped sections of the coasts where the wave is contracted from the sides.
3,428	4Computers & Internet	what can we do if we did not receive packet for the LAN(Local Area Network)?	for connecting via LAN	Start at the first step. Is the cable plugged in and connected. If you do not get a link light on the switch you plug into then change cables. After that load the proper client software. For most computers it will be Microsofts client for MS networks. \n\nThe next step can be hard.You have to set a TCP/ip address or set for DHCP addressing. If your network issues DHCP addresses then you should get a connection.
3,429	9Politics & Government	Do you think Hillary Clinton is going to run for president at some point?	I don't particularly care what you think about Hillary Clinton's character. I am just curious if you think she will run for president.	I think she will although I don't think she'll win.
3,430	4Computers & Internet	Where can i buy the cheapest Viewsonic flat panel monitor?	Either 17 or 15 inch. Preferably the 17. i would like a black one, and this doesnt have to be all fancy or anything, just has to be able to display stuff on the screen.	Check out any number of Viewsonic monitors at Newegg, the cheapest 17" Viewsonic is $210 which is only $3 more than the 15". And since you aren't going to be doing any gaming a 12ms response time should be fine and even that will show fast moving graphics just fine.\n\nYou said you wanted Viewsonic but I love Samsung LCD monitors I currently have three and one of them is over 4 years old and is still working like new, they are a little more expensive starting at $230 but they have one of the best warranties in the industry.

3,434	1Science & Mathematics	Is H. pylori a normal flora of the stomach?	or it is pathogenic bacteria?	There is not really any normal flora of the stomach, though a little over half the world's population has H pylori in the stomach. This does not mean that they all have ulcers, though. The immune system will attempt to defeat the infection, but it is usually unable to reach the H pylori due to its odd location. It is possible that some of what causes an ulcer is not the bacteria itself but the body's inflammatory response.
3,435	0Society & Culture	Do you think that God still speaks to people (literally with his voice) in this day and age?	I often hear people saying "God told me to do this", "God told me to do that"... Well, God hasnt ever spoken to me before; not once in my whole life. Truthfully, Ive prayed for God to speak to me, because that would make things alot easier, right? i just wonder how many of the "Christians" really have heard the voice of God.	It is possible for God to speak to people with a voice that you can hear.\n\nHowever, in my case I've never heard the voice of God in that way, either, although I've received many answers from Him. Often I recognize answers from God through the peaceful, comforted, or happy feelings that I feel. If I do get a "He told me" kind of answer, it's often through very still, quiet thoughts in my mind. It took me a while and quite a bit of prayer to learn to "listen" and recognize those answers. But it is possible.\n\nIf you'd like some help, why don't you talk to someone from my church? Check out the website below.

3,438	1Science & Mathematics	what is intelligent systems?		Intelligent systems or expert systems are grouped under the category of "Machine Learning" or in the fuzzy realm of AI. \n\nAll of these systems are given a training set which allows them to callibrate on providing a particular action or judgment when presented with new data. Using feedback loops these systems become better and better at determining the right answer (in effect they "learn").\n\nOne example of these systems is neural networks, highly connected systems that are "trained" to do certain tasks. Your brain for instance is a very complicated neural network with thousands of nodes and billions of connections where the connections get stronger or weaker depending on your life learnings and experience.

3,443	4Computers & Internet	Did you know that (see details)?	Yahoo Answers does have a sort of leader board on their blog, click the "Read our blog" link to see it. Do you think a leader board is a good idea and should it be on the Answers homepage?	Although points and levels urge people to use this more often it undoubtedly takes away from the accuracy and the seriousness of the Q&A. Anyone can find a loophole to exploit points or you could be like myself and my other Q&Aers out there that honestly want to help people or give their opinions.
3,444	2Health	what are the risks of a 41yr old having a baby - to the baby i mean?	how long can i leave having a baby for?	My mom had me when she was almost 43; I am perfectly normal.

She kept up with everything just fine. Good luck.

3,456	5Sports	What is the best martial arts you can learn?	Judo? Taekwondo? Karate? Aikido? Jujitsu? Sumo?\n\nPlease say why...give a good enough reason...	Quickest to learn for Self Defense – Judo\n\nIn 6 weeks to 6 months you can learn to defend yourself. Highly recommended for females. The bigger your opponent is - the harder they fall. After two / three years of Karate you're still a danger to yourself, it’s not easy to fight with your feet.\n\nBest for sports education – Judo and Tae Kwon Do\n\nYou are likely to find Judo and Tae Kwon Do offered in College and of course they are Olympic sports. \n\nIn general Korean Karate is 60/40 - feet / hands and Japanese Karate is 40/60 - feet / hands. A young man already taught boxing would find Japanese Karate easier to learn for this reason. \n\nThere are many soft styles of Martial Arts (i.e. Aikido) that are effective but by design take a very long time to master. \n\nThere is no “Best” style. The individual athlete is more important than the style. \n\nWhat to avoid – \nAmerican created Martial Arts, often with a Kung Fu type name. Such as - Jim’s Kung Fu and Karate’. (There is authentic Kung Fu, but Americans often plagiarize the name).\n\nGood Luck and Have Fun!

3,461	5Sports	Who owns the Red Sox World Series 2004 Final Out Baseball?	Does Doug Mientkiewicz or the Red Sox owners? Afterall, Doug was an employee of the Red Sox at that time.	While the St. Louis Cardinals purchased the baseball, they gave the baseballs to Major League Baseball for use during the game. When a ball leaves the playing area, it effectively becomes abandoned property of Major League Baseball, which is why fans who catch a ball that leaves the playing area may keep it. In a similar sense, then, I think that Major League Baseball has abandoned its property when the ball ends the World Series. That ball is scuffed and cannot be used later, and it has a particular insignia that cannot be used in any other game. I think the rule of abandonment is not limited exclusively to leaving the arena, but that's debatable, and perhaps the kicker.\n\nOnce Mientkiewicz takes the ball, he possess abandoned proprety and may do as he wishes with it. He is not acting in his capacity as a player once the game is over, and the ball is his.\n\nMany claim that since Mientkiewicz was an employee of the Sox, he can't take the ball with him; they claim that it's like a mechanic taking the tools home. In this case, however, Mientkiewicz took ABANDONED PROPERTY home. It was more like a mechanic taking home a gallon of disposed oil, which never belonged to the employer in the first place and which had been disposed by a guest. Therefore, it truly is Mientkiewicz's ball.

3,465	1Science & Mathematics	How many funeral homes are there in the state of Pennsylvania ?		According to what I found, Pennsylvania has 1,801.\n\nThis is based on the National Vital Statistics Report, Vol. 52, No. 22, June 10, 2004 - National Center for Health statistics, and a report of established funeral homes taken from 2003 figures quoted in "Funeral Service Insider," a trade publication. FSI cites the 2003 "Red Book," a national directory of morticians, as its source for the number of funeral homes by state.\n\nIt is likely that the figures for the number of existing funeral homes are approximate only. I have included a pretty good resource as well if you are interested.
3,466	2Health	I felt paralysed just before I feel asleep. Is this normal?	Last night as I was drowsy and falling asleep, I felt as if I was becoming numb all over...and instead started to panic and jumped up again - until I was drowsy again and it started all over - until I was just too tired.	Yes this is normal. Sleep Paralysis is a common event where the mind and body start the relaxation process. When asleep the connection between the behavior of your mind and the response of your body is turned off. If it was not it is likely that you would hurt yourself as you body started acting out it's dreams. You know how when you are starting to fall asleep and you kick out or twitch in response to something you are dreaming about, same deal.\n\nIt is possible that your mind and body are not following the same pattern, that you body is shutting down before you mind can follow, or that your mind is waking before you body can follow. This is the state that is known as Sleep Paralysis. My whole family suffers from it.\n\nInterestingly, most people experience similar things when in this state. The feeling of a presence or of a pressure on your chest. A panicking feeling is also normal. People who have claimed to be abducted by aliens or visited by dead relatives have often been found to be suffering from this issue.\n\nThere are many resources online about this condition and I encourage you too look for them. This is a normal natural experience.

3,472	6Business & Finance	Who beleive in "Magic"? if you do, why?

3,479	0Society & Culture	Proof Of God?	ok ok, this question will cause alot of controversy but oh well. Where is the proof of a "god". Where is proof of heaven, hell? It doesnt add up	This has been an oft aksed question on Y! Answers. You can see all answers at \n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=AkdeQT7qgfnFBjS2.OhiGYojzKIX?p=does+god+exist\n\nthe ones that were best are here:\n\n1. User le_penseur\n\nOk. There are a couple obvious answers that everyone gives--number 1: how can a good God exist with bad stuff happening? [I think it's interesting that people always assume that if God exists, he's good. I tend to agree with them--if God isn't good, he's just a really big version of us, right?)\nnumber 2: How can life exist without God? [that's a pro-God argument, just to clarify.] So, to deal with both answers...number one is pretty interesting. I think the answer (if one can honestly be written!) has a few parts to it. First, bad stuff happens because bad people do it. Murders require murderers. So...why does God [if he exists] allow people to do bad stuff? Or, why are bad people allowed to exist under an all-powerful God? If we assume there is a God, than the answer is a very interesting answer indeed--FREE CHOICE, under an all-powerful God. We have the right to make our lives better, or worse. With the assumption of a good God, and the evidence of a bad world, the conclusion is that we've chosen to go for the worse, and everyone suffers [but then, nobody's perfect, so everyone contributes to everyone else's suffering, too. Not a very pretty picture, but there's at least some truth in it. I'll let you decide how much.]\nAnswer number two is pretty controversial these days [most things are.] So. Can life exist without God? I've heard evolution and intelligent design theories. Many people find intelligent design insulting to their intelligence. I like an awful lot of evolution, but it just doesn't answer all of my questions. How did the eyeball manage to evolve from a series of small, random steps? Each part is dependent on the other, they don't just blossom out in complexity from a simple, functioning core structure. I'm not saying I don't believe in evolution--there's evidence it works. I just don't think it works universally. So--does that mean intelligent design is the answer? Hm...not necessarily. A lack of knowledge is not proof of impossibility. But I wouldn't rule it out. Does intelligent design, or--dare I say it--guided evolution, prove the existence of God? I wouldn't say it proves the existence of God. I would say it presents some very interesting questions. Ultimately, everyone really does have to decide for themselves. Scientifically, the Universe is a big place with a lot of unanswered, and possibly unanswerable, questions. God is an awfully big explanation. Spiritually, from the point of assuming God exists, what God asks for is Faith. He says so in the Bible (yes, I'm operating from an incriminatingly Western view point. Cut me some slack.) So, you've got to decide for yourself. You probably guessed this already, but yes, I believe in God. A friend of mine suggested that what improved my life and what I prayed to was really the better side of me that I didn't believe existed and therefore projected as God. I found the idea rather interesting and talked it over with God a few times before deciding He really was God, but like I said--a lot of these things really tie into faith. Thank you for a VERY interesting question, and I'm sorry for a VERY long answer. Tell me what you think. \n\n2.User Soham\n\nIt's seem to be a interesting question. Personaly, I think GOD exist. When Newton gave the law of gravational force or other astrnomy laws. Neither he nor we saw the graviational force but we feel the effect of gravitational force.

3,481	6Business & Finance	how does computer clock works even if computer is off??	help !!	Most computers have a small battery. In many cases, the battery is soldered directly onto the motherboard, but the battery is usually in some sort of holder so it is easy to replace. Computers are not the only things that have a small battery like this -- camcorders and digital cameras often have them, too. Just about any gadget that keeps track of the time will have a battery.\n\nIn your computer (as well as other gadgets), the battery powers a chip called the Real Time Clock (RTC) chip. The RTC is essentially a quartz watch that runs all the time, whether or not the computer has power. The battery powers this clock. When the computer boots up, part of the process is to query the RTC to get the correct time and date. A little quartz clock like this might run for five to seven years off of a small battery. Then it is time to replace the battery.
3,482	3Education & Reference	Should Evolution be taught in schools?		Yes, evolution should be taught in schools, but it should be presented as a scientific theory that is most widely accepted, not as a solid fact that cannot be questioned. I also think that creationism, which is also a theory that is commonly accepted, but is also something that cannot be scientifically proven at this point, should also be taught in schools.\n\nThe problem is that the scientific community is extremely defensive about losing respect for the theory of evolution, because it is still such a young theory, that they are not being respectful to the idea that part of science includes questioning theories.\n\nReligious scholars also tend to be too strict, not considering, perhaps, that evolution could be guided by God, or that evolutionary patterns may have been put into place at some starting point that was already evolved. This is similar to claiming that the chicken came before the egg, but the chicken continued to evolve after it existed.\n\nChildren should be required to consider several viewpoints, just as they are in other aspects of education.

It was painful, but I learned how to survive. It is a really good idea to get a "study buddy" who, sorry to be rude, but is at least as smart as you or smarter. If its a retard, you'll end up spending your study time on things you already understand. Read the text and any notes the prof gives you before class so you at least know some of the terms. Then, as soon as possible after class, do review questions from the book so that the concepts really settle in.

What is the James Taylor song, "Fire & Rain" about?

A girlfriend or friend that died in a plane crash. Actually:Taylor has related different versions of what the song is about. In a BBC interview he stated that the song chronicled his experiences in mental institutions and the suicide of a friend. More recently, on the VH1 series Story Tellers, Taylor said that the song was, indeed, about Suzanne MacKenzie, a friend of his who died suddenly while he was away from home. According to that account, he had been in a deep depression after the failure of his new band "Flying Machine" to coalesce (the lyric includes a reference to "sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground"; the reference is to the name of the band rather than a fatal plane crash, as was long rumored). As he was wondering what to do with himself, he received word of MacKenzie's death, and the song explains that her death was a check for his own worries, a way of realizing the transience of life and his need to get back to his old friends. In other interviews Taylor has also indicated that a battle with drug addiction figured into the song.\n\nThe song was originally written several years before its release and was refined over time; it appears probable that all the elements referenced by Taylor over time went into the final version.

what is mac spoofing?

Can public and private key cryptography be useful in preventing it

A MAC address is a predefined, but still changeable, hex number address of the network card inside your computer. A spoof is when someone changes thier computers MAC address to your address and attempts to gain access to your netwrok via this mac address. Yes public and private keys can help. Authentication is the only hope you have against mac address spoofing. EXAMPLE: A wireless router that is set up for access control looks at 3 things, the mac address, the computer name and a key (128 bit or cyphered) for authentication. If someone gets a mac and computer name of a system already authenticated to join the routers network the only thing keeping this computer from accessing your router is the keys. Preferably encryted keys. If you are talking crytography that would partain to, um, what, emails and that type of thing? Unless you are trying to trace a mac addy in en email address that is. Regardless of why u are tracking the mac addy, the use of keys for authentication of whatever the source is can possibly be the last line of defence to ensure the communication is from who it says it is supposed to be. but keep in mind that if someone, other than the person or computer who is legitimently supposed to have the keys, has the computer name and mac address you can probably bet that this person has the keys as well. If you think you are beeing mac spoofed and using keys, change the keys immeditely after the threat has been detected. This is only my opinion and not gospel, but i think it to be correct. Sometimes real world assesments look very different from text book assesments and the work around is totally different as well. Final thoughts: Get a land line phone and call whomever it is u want to securely communicate with when in doubt of a security breech. I hope I was helpful.

tides comes in large water bodies .why it is not coming in big lakes ?only it is coming in sea & ocean?

In order to show a measurable effect, the water bodies have to be really large in East-West expansion. Inland seas like the Baltic Sea have little discernible Lunar tide, less than a decimetre, and much less than "wind tides" which can easily change one metre.\n\nTides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. The entire water body alters its surface in reaction to the pull, on a much larger scale than the ground does. (Yes, that's true: the ground reacts to the moon by slight lifting and falling, too.)\n\nThe more east-west-distance is available, the more water will contribute to the changed equilibrium. The farther away the shore is, the deeper the new curve of the surface will intersect with sea ground level.\n\nReally high tides occur in funnel-shaped sections of the coasts where the wave is contracted from the sides.

what can we do if we did not receive packet for the LAN(Local Area Network)?

for connecting via LAN

Start at the first step. Is the cable plugged in and connected. If you do not get a link light on the switch you plug into then change cables. After that load the proper client software. For most computers it will be Microsofts client for MS networks. \n\nThe next step can be hard.You have to set a TCP/ip address or set for DHCP addressing. If your network issues DHCP addresses then you should get a connection.

Where can i buy the cheapest Viewsonic flat panel monitor?

Either 17 or 15 inch. Preferably the 17. i would like a black one, and this doesnt have to be all fancy or anything, just has to be able to display stuff on the screen.

Check out any number of Viewsonic monitors at Newegg, the cheapest 17" Viewsonic is $210 which is only $3 more than the 15". And since you aren't going to be doing any gaming a 12ms response time should be fine and even that will show fast moving graphics just fine.\n\nYou said you wanted Viewsonic but I love Samsung LCD monitors I currently have three and one of them is over 4 years old and is still working like new, they are a little more expensive starting at $230 but they have one of the best warranties in the industry.

Is H. pylori a normal flora of the stomach?

or it is pathogenic bacteria?

There is not really any normal flora of the stomach, though a little over half the world's population has H pylori in the stomach. This does not mean that they all have ulcers, though. The immune system will attempt to defeat the infection, but it is usually unable to reach the H pylori due to its odd location. It is possible that some of what causes an ulcer is not the bacteria itself but the body's inflammatory response.

Do you think that God still speaks to people (literally with his voice) in this day and age?

I often hear people saying "God told me to do this", "God told me to do that"... Well, God hasnt ever spoken to me before; not once in my whole life. Truthfully, Ive prayed for God to speak to me, because that would make things alot easier, right? i just wonder how many of the "Christians" really have heard the voice of God.

It is possible for God to speak to people with a voice that you can hear.\n\nHowever, in my case I've never heard the voice of God in that way, either, although I've received many answers from Him. Often I recognize answers from God through the peaceful, comforted, or happy feelings that I feel. If I do get a "He told me" kind of answer, it's often through very still, quiet thoughts in my mind. It took me a while and quite a bit of prayer to learn to "listen" and recognize those answers. But it is possible.\n\nIf you'd like some help, why don't you talk to someone from my church?

Quickest to learn for Self Defense – Judo\n\nIn 6 weeks to 6 months you can learn to defend yourself. Highly recommended for females. The bigger your opponent is - the harder they fall. After two / three years of Karate you're still a danger to yourself, it’s not easy to fight with your feet.\n\nBest for sports education – Judo and Tae Kwon Do\n\nYou are likely to find Judo and Tae Kwon Do offered in College and of course they are Olympic sports. \n\nIn general Korean Karate is 60/40 - feet / hands and Japanese Karate is 40/60 - feet / hands. A young man already taught boxing would find Japanese Karate easier to learn for this reason. \n\nThere are many soft styles of Martial Arts (i.e. Aikido) that are effective but by design take a very long time to master. \n\nThere is no “Best” style.

Who owns the Red Sox World Series 2004 Final Out Baseball?

Does Doug Mientkiewicz or the Red Sox owners? Afterall, Doug was an employee of the Red Sox at that time.

While the St. Louis Cardinals purchased the baseball, they gave the baseballs to Major League Baseball for use during the game. When a ball leaves the playing area, it effectively becomes abandoned property of Major League Baseball, which is why fans who catch a ball that leaves the playing area may keep it. In a similar sense, then, I think that Major League Baseball has abandoned its property when the ball ends the World Series. That ball is scuffed and cannot be used later, and it has a particular insignia that cannot be used in any other game. I think the rule of abandonment is not limited exclusively to leaving the arena, but that's debatable, and perhaps the kicker.\n\nOnce Mientkiewicz takes the ball, he possess abandoned proprety and may do as he wishes with it. He is not acting in his capacity as a player once the game is over, and the ball is his.\n\nMany claim that since Mientkiewicz was an employee of the Sox, he can't take the ball with him; they claim that it's like a mechanic taking the tools home. In this case, however, Mientkiewicz took ABANDONED PROPERTY home. It was more like a mechanic taking home a gallon of disposed oil, which never belonged to the employer in the first place and which had been disposed by a guest. Therefore, it truly is Mientkiewicz's ball.

I felt paralysed just before I feel asleep. Is this normal?

Last night as I was drowsy and falling asleep, I felt as if I was becoming numb all over...and instead started to panic and jumped up again - until I was drowsy again and it started all over - until I was just too tired.

Yes this is normal. Sleep Paralysis is a common event where the mind and body start the relaxation process. When asleep the connection between the behavior of your mind and the response of your body is turned off. If it was not it is likely that you would hurt yourself as you body started acting out it's dreams. You know how when you are starting to fall asleep and you kick out or twitch in response to something you are dreaming about, same deal.\n\nIt is possible that your mind and body are not following the same pattern, that you body is shutting down before you mind can follow, or that your mind is waking before you body can follow. This is the state that is known as Sleep Paralysis. My whole family suffers from it.\n\nInterestingly, most people experience similar things when in this state. The feeling of a presence or of a pressure on your chest. A panicking feeling is also normal. People who have claimed to be abducted by aliens or visited by dead relatives have often been found to be suffering from this issue.\n\nThere are many resources online about this condition and I encourage you too look for them. This is a normal natural experience.

Proof Of God?

ok ok, this question will cause alot of controversy but oh well. Where is the proof of a "god". Where is proof of heaven, hell? It doesnt add up

This has been an oft aksed question on Y! Answers. You can see all answers at \n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=AkdeQT7qgfnFBjS2.OhiGYojzKIX?p=does+god+exist\n\nthe ones that were best are here:\n\n1. User le_penseur\n\nOk. There are a couple obvious answers that everyone gives--number 1: how can a good God exist with bad stuff happening? [I think it's interesting that people always assume that if God exists, he's good. I tend to agree with them--if God isn't good, he's just a really big version of us, right?)\nnumber 2: How can life exist without God? [that's a pro-God argument, just to clarify.] So, to deal with both answers...number one is pretty interesting. I think the answer (if one can honestly be written!) has a few parts to it. First, bad stuff happens because bad people do it. Murders require murderers. So...why does God [if he exists] allow people to do bad stuff? Or, why are bad people allowed to exist under an all-powerful God? If we assume there is a God, than the answer is a very interesting answer indeed--FREE CHOICE, under an all-powerful God. We have the right to make our lives better, or worse. With the assumption of a good God, and the evidence of a bad world, the conclusion is that we've chosen to go for the worse, and everyone suffers [but then, nobody's perfect, so everyone contributes to everyone else's suffering, too. Not a very pretty picture, but there's at least some truth in it. I'll let you decide how much.]\nAnswer number two is pretty controversial these days [most things are.] So. Can life exist without God? I've heard evolution and intelligent design theories. Many people find intelligent design insulting to their intelligence. I like an awful lot of evolution, but it just doesn't answer all of my questions. How did the eyeball manage to evolve from a series of small, random steps? Each part is dependent on the other, they don't just blossom out in complexity from a simple, functioning core structure. I'm not saying I don't believe in evolution--there's evidence it works. I just don't think it works universally. So--does that mean intelligent design is the answer? Hm...not necessarily. A lack of knowledge is not proof of impossibility. But I wouldn't rule it out. Does intelligent design, or--dare I say it--guided evolution, prove the existence of God? I wouldn't say it proves the existence of God. I would say it presents some very interesting questions. Ultimately, everyone really does have to decide for themselves. Scientifically, the Universe is a big place with a lot of unanswered, and possibly unanswerable, questions. God is an awfully big explanation. Spiritually, from the point of assuming God exists, what God asks for is Faith. He says so in the Bible (yes, I'm operating from an incriminatingly Western view point. Cut me some slack.) So, you've got to decide for yourself. You probably guessed this already, but yes, I believe in God. A friend of mine suggested that what improved my life and what I prayed to was really the better side of me that I didn't believe existed and therefore projected as God. I found the idea rather interesting and talked it over with God a few times before deciding He really was God, but like I said--a lot of these things really tie into faith. Thank you for a VERY interesting question, and I'm sorry for a VERY long answer. Tell me what you think. \n\n2.User Soham\n\nIt's seem to be a interesting question. Personaly, I think GOD exist. When Newton gave the law of gravational force or other astrnomy laws. Neither he nor we saw the graviational force but we feel the effect of gravitational force. If the certain things does not see it doesn't mean that this things doesn't exit. As we know that in our environment water molecules are exist but we cannot see.

how does computer clock works even if computer is off??

help !!

Most computers have a small battery. In many cases, the battery is soldered directly onto the motherboard, but the battery is usually in some sort of holder so it is easy to replace. Computers are not the only things that have a small battery like this -- camcorders and digital cameras often have them, too. Just about any gadget that keeps track of the time will have a battery.\n\nIn your computer (as well as other gadgets), the battery powers a chip called the Real Time Clock (RTC) chip. The RTC is essentially a quartz watch that runs all the time, whether or not the computer has power. The battery powers this clock. When the computer boots up, part of the process is to query the RTC to get the correct time and date. A little quartz clock like this might run for five to seven years off of a small battery. Then it is time to replace the battery.

Should Evolution be taught in schools?

Yes, evolution should be taught in schools, but it should be presented as a scientific theory that is most widely accepted, not as a solid fact that cannot be questioned. I also think that creationism, which is also a theory that is commonly accepted, but is also something that cannot be scientifically proven at this point, should also be taught in schools.\n\nThe problem is that the scientific community is extremely defensive about losing respect for the theory of evolution, because it is still such a young theory, that they are not being respectful to the idea that part of science includes questioning theories.\n\nReligious scholars also tend to be too strict, not considering, perhaps, that evolution could be guided by God, or that evolutionary patterns may have been put into place at some starting point that was already evolved. This is similar to claiming that the chicken came before the egg, but the chicken continued to evolve after it existed.\n\nChildren should be required to consider several viewpoints, just as they are in other aspects of education.

I've started liking guys after a good laugh with eye contact. Oh, and flirt, but don't be too suggestive, because you might freak them out. Other than that it really depends upon the girl... good luck!

Is there an inexpensive device that can be used with an existing flatbed scanner for 35mm negative scanning?

I have a Umax Astra 3400 flatbed scanner, and an HP Officejet 5510 flatbed scanner. I am looking for something that could be used or built that is less than $50 that would allow me to scan 35mm negatives without purchasing a special slide scanner.

I have never used one but backlight boxes are available on the net to project light through the negative and give a proper picture to the scanner

Reunion parties – why do we do that to ourselves?

It does seem to be a form of torture, doesn't it? I think there's a part of all of us that in some small way wants to connect with our past and our youth, regardless of what it was like for us then. If it was good (star athelete, class president), it's another moment basking in that spotlight of old. If the experience was bad, it's always tempting to return to those people who made your life terrible to see if they have fallen from grace as far as you imagined they might. Then of course there's you--how much have you changed, for better or worse, and how you imagine that will affect that same group of people you loved/hated all those years ago. It's a wonder more people don't end up in therapy before and/or after attending one. As for me, I've been to just one--and while I had a pretty good time, I really doubt I'll be tortuing myself again.

Does anyone have any tips for surviving a Statistics Research class before checking into a mental institution?

Hi. I had to take BUSINESS Statistics. It was painful, but I learned how to survive. It is a really good idea to get a "study buddy" who, sorry to be rude, but is at least as smart as you or smarter. If its a retard, you'll end up spending your study time on things you already understand. Read the text and any notes the prof gives you before class so you at least know some of the terms. Then, as soon as possible after class, do review questions from the book so that the concepts really settle in. And, before the exam, get together a really good study group, sit in someone's dorm with some pizza and coffee and study, study, study...you'll feel more confident if you're prepared! Good luck.

what do u do when a gurl auntie dont like u?

Be yourself. Try not to be rude about anything. Regaurdless if her Aunt don't like you, show some respect if you have to be around the fam. Ask the girl if you two can go somewhere to be alone. Some people families do this to intemidate the person. I f you're feeling this person then don't shy away from her nor let her family get to you. But don't give her or her family any reasons not to like you. You know what I'm saying! Be real with her and you'll be alright.

If this is a "free" country why does our government hide things from us?

like ufos, Area 51, cures for cancer, bigfoot, the loch ness monster,... and many others... do they think we can't handle the truth? I want your opinion... on the subject.

They're not hiding those things from all of us, just those of you they want to keep in your menial jobs in order to maintain the economy. If you knew all the amazing stuff that was going on you'd be more dissatisfied and might revolt. Too bad for you.

There is no average age but here are some interesting statistics\n\n Stroke\n\nIn 2002, 62,622 men died of stroke. Although stroke occurs in equal proportions of men and women, men have better chances of surviving than women do. You can't control some stroke risks, such as family history, age and race, but you can control the leading cause — high blood pressure — as well as contributing factors such as smoking and diabetes.\n\nAdditional preventive measures:\n\nLower your intake of cholesterol and saturated fat. \nDon't smoke. \nControl diabetes. \nMaintain a healthy weight. \nGet at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week. \nManage stress. \nLimit alcohol consumption. \nTalk with your doctor about taking a daily dose of aspirin.

As quoted from MSN.com "Many of the details, including a plan that may display more graphical ads on Google’s traditionally sparse Web pages, had been leaked to the media in the last few days. None of the so-called banner ads will appear on Google’s home page or alongside its primary search results."\n\nAdvertising soon to come. i.e. Banner Ads
