3,500	1Science & Mathematics	What will happen if human will travel with the velocity more than that of light ?	Science thought.	This is considered to be impossible. As you APPROACH the speed of light, your energy and/or mass change. If you HIT the speed of light, your energy and mass approach zero and infinity. So there would be nothing left of you to actually EXCEED the speed of light.\n\nBut I encourage you to try. Write us and tell us how it goes!
3,501	6Business & Finance	how do u admit that u are going gay??well or think u are?	the reason i think i am is i love to were dresses,nylons,heels,flats,sandles,and bras. and the more i were them the more i dont want to dress like a guy.and at first i never though of guys but the more i dress like a girl the more i catch myself thinking of guys.dose it sound like im going gay???????	You very well could be - and there is nothing wrong with that. Just do what feels right as long as it does not harm anyone else (human or animal.) You'll figure it out yourself over time and go with whatever feels good to you.

3,505	7Entertainment & Music	What's the best country song?		"All Jacked Up" Gretchen Wilson
3,506	6Business & Finance	Is Wal-mart really a good deal for America.?	Wal -Mart, america's #1 retailer, saves everyone money that shops there. But is it really a good deal for America. I dont think its what this country really needs. Wal-Mart, forces companies to low bid ther products if they want to do business with Wal-mart, and if you dont your company will more than likely go bust.. This is forceing companies to hire illegal's at low paying salary to be able to compete thus forcing the job market down for all areas of the country. What are americans to do, but cheap at wal-mart or pay higher prices?	its a hard question you ask. they hire lots of people at low wages, but they provide a great service: cheap goods. but these goods are made in other countries, mainly China. i think i would rather pay slightly higher prices for stuff made in america, so i will vote that Wal-Mart is bad
3,507	3Education & Reference	can you go to law school and become a lawyer without getting a BA?		To my knowledge all accredited law schools in the US require a four year college degree, but that could be a B.S., it doesn't have to be a BA.
3,508	5Sports	With LSU sound defeat of Miami, are they National title contenders next year?		They could be, provided they win all their games next year with the way the computers determine rankings. If Bush and Young stay, it should still be Texas and USC at the top. But if either of them was to leave for the draft, LSU could be a threat. But be aware: Penn St. and Notre Dame could also be contenders next year.
3,509	4Computers & Internet	What is Drupal?	I heard that Drupal is very nice but I was wondering that what it really is? and how do i really use?\n\nFlash and other presentations will help.

3,510	6Business & Finance	are there any 5th graders out there that live in the state of new york???		no. You are all alone.
3,511	6Business & Finance	If all rivers run into the seas, why are the seas not full?		What do u mena by "FULL"\n\nFull means when a limit has been achieved... there is nothing like that for abstract items like "SEA"\n\nBut for ur answer... rivers flow into the sea... sea 'dries' into clouds... clouds precipitate into streams.. streams merge into rivers... the process iterates ;)
3,512	3Education & Reference	how do you cite a cd you listened to on a research paper?		It depends on which citation format you need for your paper.\n\nHere is an eample for the APA Style:\n\nShocked, M. (1992). Over the waterfall. On Arkansas \n Traveler [CD]. New York: PolyGram Music.\n\nHere are examples of the MLA style:\nCD:\nCounting Crows. August and Everything After. DGC, 1993.\n\nSpecific song:\nCounting Crows. "Mr. Jones." August and Everything After. DGC, 1993.\n\nThe examples above are taken from the Cornell University Library websites below. Please look at the website below, especially for the APA style, to see the proper indentation.\n\nIf you need something more complicated (say a classical music CD which might feature a composer, and/or specific perfomers), most libraries have print copies of the major style manuals which you could consult.\n\nMy rather dated copy of the MLA Handbook (2nd edition, 1984), says that the person cited first in these situations will "depend on the desired emphasis".\n\nHere is one example from that source:\nBeethoven, Ludwig van. Sumphony no 7 in A, op. 92. \n Cond. Herbert von Karajan. Vienna Philharmonic \n Orch. London, STS 15107, 1966.
3,513	9Politics & Government	Can the Enron controversy get back to Bush or Cheney?	Just curious, since Bush denied even knowing Mr. Lay, and yet was allowed to use his private jet for his campaign. Plus Cheney and Enron held energy meetings in secret, and we have NO idea what transpired in them. If the accountant is going to squeal on Lay and Skilling, will THEY start to squeal now? Opinions wanted.	It probably has strong ties to Cheney and Bush as Bush is into Oil and Halliburton is the Contractor for many installations and repairs.\nHalliburton has many levels grouped under HKBR and includes design firms to 3rd party inspection companies, so I'm sure it would hit a deadend somewhere before Cheney and his assistant Bush.
3,514	9Politics & Government	What do you think of Mail Order Brides from Russia? Scam?	Just curious as to what people think about Mail Order Brides, I hear they're just scams, a way for them to get into the country.	Yes most of them are scams. They're usually women who use "love" to get a free green card.
3,515	6Business & Finance	How do I pay back my student loan if I am not in the UK (UK Student Loan Company)?	Emigrated with no bank account in UK and they will only accept money from UK banks	will the company accept direct deposits over the internet? Will they accept from a neutral third party such as pay pal? Another possibility is a money order from the US Post Office sent directly to the company.
3,516	3Education & Reference	Why is the word pound (as in weight) abbreviated as 'lbs'?		The abbreviation "lbs." certainly seems like a strange way to write "pounds," until you consider the origin of the word. Like many terms used in science, the word "pound" has a Latin background. It comes from "libra pondo," the Latin expression for a "pound of weight." The English word "pound" comes from "pondo," and the abbreviation "lb." comes from "libra." When you are referring to more than one pound, an "s" is added to the abbreviation to make it plural, so it becomes "lbs."
3,517	7Entertainment & Music	anyone now where there is good Charmed sreen savers ? with no virus on them ?		i dont know but i love that show!
3,518	6Business & Finance	What is the biggest health problem facing the USA today?		Stress, which leads to other health problems.
3,519	6Business & Finance	If the Google people are supposed to be so smart, how come so many of their recent UIs are lame?	Google reader is pretty bad. Google desktop is clunky (although a good idea in theory). Google groups is lame. Heck even their Google Answers sucks in comparison to this Yahoo Answers site.\n\nIn addition, it seems to me that yahoo, ask.com and some others are innovating more on search results. For example, enter in a name of a sports team (in season) on different search engines and you'll see a good example of what I mean.\n\nDo they have too many programmers/engineers and not enough true, touchy/feely UI designers? Does Google plan to just live off their brand now?\n\nConcerned Google stockholder.	In my opinion, Google was never something more than a great search engine. In an early era where dial-up was more common than broadband, Google built a top-notch engine with a very light UI which made it an immediate favorite amongst a lot of users. What was nice about Google was that it never aspired to be something someone else was, it created its own identity as a very comprehensive search engine. However, offlate, I have started losing faith in Google, especially because their objectives and goals as a company seem very unclear. A chunk of their revenue still comes through ads, and their search engine is really the only intellectual property they have developed from the ground-up, otherwise everything else is either just an acquisition or a bad idea. Google earth was previously keynote, Google Talk has been built upon Jabber which is an open source technology for messaging and these were the "other" great ideas besides the search engine, but things like web accelerators and secure connection through VPN are just lame excuses to drive internet traffic through their servers.\n\nAnother great idea from Google was desktop search, but somehow they never capitalized on the idea, and today MSN has come out tops in this department.\n\nAt the end of the day, Google isnt running out of ideas, I think they are running out of focus, something that companies like Yahoo have and very well defined ones at that.
3,520	7Entertainment & Music	do you like Inuyasha? Why or why not?		ya his the best its a great action cartoon
3,521	4Computers & Internet	Why is the PC clock slow?	loses ten minutes a day	There's a small round battery located on the motherboard. This battery keeps the time clock as well as your settings going. The battery usually is a CR2032 battery you can get at any department store. That battery is going dead. This is a very easy job on most computers. If you have any other questions you can email me.\n\nstlouisfan
3,522	1Science & Mathematics	why does wood crackle when it burns?		Wood crackles because as it burns or oxidizes rapidly pockets of gas produce a small explosion when they burn. The explosions aren't big enough to do anything but they are also why occasionally small pieces of wood fly off a burning log.
3,523	0Society & Culture	How do poor people stay happy?		To some people happiness isn't based on money, or material possession, but other things like, love, life, and family, or the simple fact of just being alive.
3,524	6Business & Finance	what is the currency of Kenya? and the exchange rate against dollar?		I don't know?
3,525	5Sports	should i start kurt warner or drew brees in fanstasy football this weekend?		I would go with Warner too. I think both QB's will have good games, but Warner faces a much weeker team and Arizona has no running game so Warner will be passing all day long
3,526	2Health	What's the part of the human body most vulnerable to injury or disease? Why is it that way?		throat and oral cavity ....these two parts of a body tend to get infected more commonly as they are exposed to bacteria and viruses all the time.\nit is difficalt to say which is vulnarable for injury as every part of the body has equal chances.
3,527	4Computers & Internet	What is the deal with the whole "Beta" stuff? what does Beta mean?		Beta means "not ready for release yet".\nOften, the product is being tested by people outside the dev team (these testers are often called "beta-testers").

3,530	2Health	I suffer from Erectile Dysfunction. Dr claimed it as BOTH physical, but more psychological. Any suggestions ?	I suffer from Bipolar Disorder, the Mixed episode and this has some effect. The Dr. diagnosed the reason to be both physical (Prostate troubles) \nand to a much greater extent,psychological.\nProblems include premature ejaculation as well. Although I take Zoloft Antidepressant which has effect on ejaculation, still I ejaculate very rapidly. Viagra, Cialis and Levitra do help to some extent, but do not produce the desired outcome.\nThey have no effect on the fast ejaculation problem. \nI and my partner failed to tolerate to Vacium devices. Pennis Injections do work but they induce pain and have harmful side effects on the long range.	Prostate problems can cause major erectile problems, and even problems with ejaculation. And if you are taking meds for bipolar disorder, those almost always cause problems with ejaculation, but not necessarily with erectile function. You are not in the best of situations, because viagra would probably work well without the bipolar meds. The best course of action is a patient, willing, and caring partner, even if the sex is marginal because of your situation, and understanding and caring partner can help make it very good. A good psychological state and situation can make up for the physical problems - it won't really do much of anything to fix the physical problems, but it can make intimacy more enjoyable. Get creative, and be satisfied with what you've got. A selfish or non-understanding partner would probably not only be extremely stressful and unfulfilling, but probably would tell you a whole lot about them. The most ironic thing is that sexual dysfunction is severly underrearched and not understood very well - particularly physical causes. Until the more recent decades it was almost always assumed to be purely psychological.
3,531	7Entertainment & Music	Is Ashton Kutcher's show "punk'd" unfair to black people? Is he racist? Or just mean?	I think that Ashton Kutcher treats black people really cold on his show. I've noticed that he always has police involved when black people are on his show. Most people on his show are pranked into thinking they'll be sued or lose their car; but black people are pranked into thinking that they stole something and will have to do federal time. Is this tasteful humor? Is this good entertainment? I don't think so. What do you think? Is this as mean as I think it is or is it just fun? is it okay to laugh at people when they are scared for their life? Tell me.	I don't think he's racist. i just watched Punkd yesterday. Where Avril and Mike Jones were Punkd and yes the fake police was called in for Mike Jones' one but every Punk has to be different. i believe you may have over-thought it a bit :/
3,532	4Computers & Internet	Are the current computer viruses more efficient than the ancient ones; in other words are they evolving ?		The viruses are Not evolving. The programmers who write them are becoming more clever or perhaps have learned a few more tricks.\nThis includes viruses, trojan horses and sleeper programs, some of which modify their own code to make it harder to spot them, especially if they do not attempt to do anything immediately.\nSome the worst viruses are now being written by the DOD to send into enemy country banking systems. These are the ones you hope never get used.
3,533	3Education & Reference	I live in Pakistan and my son wants to appear in GRE test. We do not know where to go and who to contact.?

3,534	9Politics & Government	Why vote Repulican?	Please tell me why anyone in the middle class or poor\n(those who don't own businesses, work for others who do) would ever vote for a Republican party canidate? Republicans are the party of the wealthy, everything they do benefits the wealthy while the middle class and the poorest people suffer.	The days of the working class democrat are gone my friend. The Kennedy's and Rooservelts are long gone. The democrats now are not concerned about the working class. They are more concerned with dividing classes in this counrty. Look at the issues that effect you everyday and tell me what a democrat has done for you lately. They are more concerned with promising the world to the poor and to minorities. They like to bring race and ethniticity into their issues, when in reality they don't want to bring people together and have everyone be equal, it takes away their base. It's a proven fact that young people, minorities and the poor are the base voters for democrats. The democrats promise to bring new hope to these people, but they don't do anything for them. They try to bring race and class warfare into everything. Once most young people get older they switch their beliefs and begin to become conservative. When minorities and immigrants get good jobs and start businesses they become conservative. The democrats have nothing to offer working class people. I live in a very liberal state and we have elected republican governors for the last 5 years. We went from a 4.5 billion dollar defecit to having a 500 million dollar surplus without doing the old democratic action of raising taxes. I am middle class. My family household income is only $40,000 ( to some democrats I'm in the top 10%) The democrats have done nothing for me. I have the heaviest tax burden, my kids won't get any aid for college, I don't have any laws that place me at the head of the line for a job. Please let me know what a democrat has done for you lately. There aren't many working class democrats out there anymore. Last one I can think of that really cares about the common man is Sen Joe Liberman. The democratic party doesn't care about defending our country. If they had thier way we would sit back let people attack us and fire a missile into an abandoned camp in the Sudan and say "we're even". They are more concerned about the rights of our enemies than the people of this nation. Listening to people like Howard Dean and John Kerry would make me embarressed to be a democrat. The democrats are the most negative party I have seen, they feast on dividing this nation. Ever since the 2000 election they have been out to ruin Bush. Is Bush a great president? He's not the greatest, but far, far from the worst. The democrats will sit back and say that Bush lied about WMD's in Iraq, but fail to remember that for 8 years, Clinton, Gore, Albright, Cohen all made the same claims and talked about how Iraq possesing WMD's was the most dangerous situation in the world. How soon we forget, because we have to attack the president for political gains. So far it isn't working so good. Please tell me what president has gone through what Bush has gone through. In his first 5 years in office. Our country was attacked. The worse attack by a foreign entity in our history. We found that there are thousand of Islamic extremist living in this country and they want to kill us. The threat of the next attack could be tem times worse then what 9/11 brought. We have gone to war in Afghanastan, Iraq, and countless other places we don;t even know about to fight terroism. We have an extremist movement in this world that is very strong that wants to destroy the way of life of the western world. Not just America, the Western World!!. They will stop at nothing to do so. Bush has had to deal with countless natural disasters that we have never experienced before in such great frequency. He has had to deal with the greatest divide this country has seen since the Civil War. He was handed a downward spiral economy that we found was over inflated in the 90's by greedy companies that were cooking the books, and the economy was only made worse by the 9/11 attacks.

3,537	6Business & Finance	if I have Roth IRA and maximize the contribution, can I have IRA and contribute in the same year?		No. You can have a 401k and a Roth IRA, but the Roth and the Traditional reach a max whether you put it all in one or a combination of the two.
3,538	4Computers & Internet	can u create a "CON" folder in winxp and how to reset or findout the password in winxp?		The basic problem is that CON is the built in name used for a standard I/O port representing "console". This is just like other ports, like LPT1, LPT2, COM1, COM2, etc. If you managed to created such a file/folder on your machine, all normal input and output that normally come from the keyboard and display on the screen would have to come from and go to the file/folder you created.\n\nDOS device names are reserved words, and cannot be\nused as folder or file names. When parsing a reference to a file or folder, Windows correctly checks for the case in which a single DOS device name is used in the path, and treats it as invalid.\n\nfollowing are reserved device names\n\nCON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4,\nCOM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4,LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9.\n\nu cannot create a folder or file of the above names.\n\nThis actually is a unix-like feature. DOS device drivers are accessible like normal files, i.e. the everything-is-a-file philosophy. CON is the equivalent of /dev/tty, NUL of /dev/null, COM# of /dev/ttyS#, LPT# of /dev/lp# and CLOCK$ corresponds to /dev/rtc (PRN is an alias to LPT1, AUX is COM1). Every character device can be opened this way, block devices (which are assumed to be FAT formatted...) are named A: to Z:, as you will know. Many pseudo character devices (drivers which had to be loaded as drivers but were no character devices, like EMM386, HIMEM.SYS, ..) had forbidden characters like '*' in their device names to be hidden from the user.\n\nThe only problem is: DOS 1, which introduced CON, NUL, PRN and AUX had no directories, i.e. no /dev/, so for compatibility with old DOS1-executables (which don't know that they live in a directory) the character devices have to exist in every directory. Don't know why this feature was not limited to FCB (CP/M like) file access, unix like file numbers were introduced together with directories in DOS 2 (actually the MS programmers had Xenix machines on their desks, I heard)..\n\nsecondly i would say that some extra smart people try to create the Folder "con" by using special characters in front of the folder name such as now take for example one of my friend told me that he had created the folder "con". he showed me the syntax. the correct syntax for creating a folder in DOS is...\n\nmkdir con \n\nbut since the folder "con" cannot be created this command doesnt execute.\nnow see the syntax what my friend showed me\n\nmkdir \.\\d:\con (warning : dont try on ur pc)\nand to delete the folder is\nrd \.\\d:\con\nu know wat will happen\nin windows xp u will c only a folder of name "con" but the actual name is \.\\con\nwe should not use special character in front of folder names.\n\nThere is one more technique to create "con" but it is not known to most of the people.\nThis is the alt+255 technique.\nIn this the user holds the "alt" key and then presses 255 from the numpad before or after the folder name.\nBut alt + 255 is the keyboard combination of underscore(_) or space which is a special character and hence can't be used for folder name.\nWhile displaying the name it wont show the special character, it will show only the name "con"\n\nNow regarding the file "con"\nyou may not have noticed but it is not only the folder "con" cannot be created but also u cannot create a file of name "con" (such as u can't create "con.txt",\n"con.doc","con.ppt" etc...)\nThe reason for this is as follows\n\nIn Dos there are two commands \nfor creating a file we use a command "copy con"\nthe syntax for creating a file in DOS is..\n\ncopy con <filename>\n\nusing the above command u can create a file in DOS.\nnow for copyng a file the command is "copy" in Dos\nthe synatx is ..\n\ncopy <filename1> <filename2&gt
3,539	9Politics & Government	Did President Bush break the law by authorizing the NSA to investigate US citizens?		I wasn't until I read the New York Times article. It seams that there could have been a judge involved that did could have issued warrents. Also, they did suspend it when they thought they were crossing the line. I also did some more digging and found out that the NY times sat on the story for a year. If something illegal was happening the NY Times would have run the story earlier. So No I don't think that the President or the NSA did anything wrong at this point.

3,541	0Society & Culture	What is the title of the newest book by David Rubel and where can I buy it?	There was a story about this book on public radio this past week but I was driving and could not write down the title. It is about the lesser-known leaders of the Civil Rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's.	The Coming Free. Amazon has it.
3,542	4Computers & Internet	my computer takes forever on the welcome screen and then takes forever with everything else.?	I have XP pro SP2 and 512 mb ram along with a amd 2800+ processor. It even lags while im typing this. It runs about 10 times slower than normal. What programs are best to fix it? What type of virus does this.	It seems like your computer is infected by virus or spyware or other malware. There are many visues that can cause it. You have to clean your PC with antivirus, antispy and to protect it with a firewall. Here is a free stuff from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\nDownload and install it, and then run. It will detect the treats and delete them. Then your PC will be OK.
3,543	4Computers & Internet	when are the yahoo and msn messenger services going to merge?		They are planning to merege around may-juli 2006... but personnaly I think there we be a Beta version of the services merged earlier, this is because Windows Live Messenger mentions another messenger service in the Trouble Shooting.... also Windows Live Messenger has the available of sending messages to people offline(like yahoo messenger) sending messages while you are appear offline( like yahoo messengers invisible status) and send messages to people you have blocked( like yahoo messenger)\n\nSo I suspect earlier\n\nMicrosoft has a page like the source below but it is hard to find.\n\nBTW: Nice X-mas Hat!! ;-)\n\nSource: http://messenger.yahoo.com/partners_msn.php;_ylt=AlTVx3rKa6TA22Z54_9Jy.9wMMIF
3,544	1Science & Mathematics	why is the sky blue?		The first steps towards correctly explaining the colour of the sky were taken by John Tyndall in 1859. He discovered that when light passes through a clear fluid holding small particles in suspension, the shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more strongly than the red. This can be demonstrated by shining a beam of white light through a tank of water with a little milk or soap mixed in. From the side, the beam can be seen by the blue light it scatters; but the light seen directly from the end is reddened after it has passed through the tank. The scattered light can also be shown to be polarised using a filter of polarised light, just as the sky appears a deeper blue through polaroid sun glasses.\n\nThis is most correctly called the Tyndall effect, but it is more commonly known to physicists as Rayleigh scattering--after Lord Rayleigh, who studied it in more detail a few years later. He showed that the amount of light scattered is inversely proportional to the fourth power of wavelength for sufficiently small particles. It follows that blue light is scattered more than red light by a factor of (700/400)4 ~= 10.\n\nDust or Molecules?\nTyndall and Rayleigh thought that the blue colour of the sky must be due to small particles of dust and droplets of water vapour in the atmosphere. Even today, people sometimes incorrectly say that this is the case. Later scientists realised that if this were true, there would be more variation of sky colour with humidity or haze conditions than was actually observed, so they supposed correctly that the molecules of oxygen and nitrogen in the air are sufficient to account for the scattering. The case was finally settled by Einstein in 1911, who calculated the detailed formula for the scattering of light from molecules; and this was found to be in agreement with experiment. He was even able to use the calculation as a further verification of Avogadro's number when compared with observation. The molecules are able to scatter light because the electromagnetic field of the light waves induces electric dipole moments in the molecules.\n\nWhy not violet?\nIf shorter wavelengths are scattered most strongly, then there is a puzzle as to why the sky does not appear violet, the colour with the shortest visible wavelength. The spectrum of light emission from the sun is not constant at all wavelengths, and additionally is absorbed by the high atmosphere, so there is less violet in the light. Our eyes are also less sensitive to violet. That's part of the answer; yet a rainbow shows that there remains a significant amount of visible light coloured indigo and violet beyond the blue. The rest of the answer to this puzzle lies in the way our vision works. We have three types of colour receptors, or cones, in our retina. They are called red, blue and green because they respond most strongly to light at those wavelengths. As they are stimulated in different proportions, our visual system constructs the colours we see.\n\n\nResponse curves for the three types of cone in the human eye\n\nWhen we look up at the sky, the red cones respond to the small amount of scattered red light, but also less strongly to orange and yellow wavelengths. The green cones respond to yellow and the more strongly-scattered green and green-blue wavelengths. The blue cones are stimulated by colours near blue wavelengths which are very strongly scattered. If there were no indigo and violet in the spectrum, the sky would appear blue with a slight green tinge. However, the most strongly scattered indigo and violet wavelengths stimulate the red cones slightly as well as the blue, which is why these colours appear blue with an added red tinge. The net effect is that the red and green cones are stimulated about equally by the light from the sky, while the blue is stimulated more strongly. This combination accounts for the pale sky blue colour. It may not be a coincidence that our vision is adjusted to see the sky as a pure hue. We have evol

Almost all court records are open for public inspection. Some things may not be available such as adoption or expunged (removed by a judge) records. You can always go to the Courthouse and look at them for free. They may charge you for a photocopy, but you should be able to read the files at their office without charge. \n\nThe City of Miami, OK does have a website with some court records, most notably the list of sex offenders in the area, available online. Their link is below. \n\nGood luck!
3,546	4Computers & Internet	how to block application download in internet thru registry settings?	restriction of application download thru registry settings	This article describes how and where Internet Explorer security zones and privacy settings are stored and managed in the registry. You can use Group Policy or the Microsoft Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) to set security zones and privacy settings. If you are using Group Policy or IEAK on a Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer, you may have to install several hotfixes to set security zones and privacy settings.\n\n\nIf the Security Zones: Use only machine settings setting in Group Policy is enabled, or if the Security_HKLM_only DWORD value is present and has a value of 1 in the following registry key, only local computer settings are used and all users have the same security settings: \nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\nWith the Security_HKLM_only policy enabled, HKLM values will be used by Internet Explorer, but the HKCU values will still be displayed in the zone settings on the Security tab in Internet Explorer. This is by design and there are no plans to change this functionality.\n\nIf the Security Zones: Use only machine settings setting is not enabled in Group Policy, or if the Security_HKLM_only DWORD value does not exist or is set to 0, computer settings are used along with user settings. However, only user settings appear in the Internet Options. For example, when this DWORD value does not exist or is set to 0, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE settings are read along with HKEY_CURRENT_USER settings, but only HKEY_CURRENT_USER settings appear in the Internet Options.\nNote With the Security_HKLM_only policy enabled, HKLM values will be used by Internet Explorer, but the HKCU values will still be displayed in the zone setting tab within the Internet Explorer Interface. This is by design, and there are no plans to change this functionality at this time. \nTemplatePolicies\nThe TemplatePolicies key determines the settings of the default security zone levels (Low, Medium Low, Medium, and High). You can change the security level settings from the default settings. However, you cannot add additional security levels. The keys contain values that determine the setting for the security zone. Each key contains a Description string value and a Display Name string value that determine the text that appears on the Security tab for each security level. \nZoneMap\nThe ZoneMap key contains the following keys: • Domains \n• ProtocolDefaults \n• Ranges \nThe Domains key contains domains and protocols that have been added to change their behavior from the default behavior. When a domain is added, a key is added to the Domains key. Subdomains appear as keys under the domain where they belong. Each key that lists a domain contains a DWORD with a value name of the affected protocol. The value of the DWORD is the same as the numeric value of the security zone where the domain is added.\n\nThe ProtocolDefaults key specifies the default security zone that is used for a particular protocol (ftp, http, https). To change the default setting, you can either add a protocol to a security zone by clicking Add Sites on the Security tab, or you can add a DWORD value under the Domains key. The name of the DWORD value must match the protocol name, and it must not contain any colons (:) or slashes (/). \n\nThe ProtocolDefaults key also contains DWORD values that specify the default security zones where a protocol is used. You cannot use the controls on the Security tab to change these values. This setting is used when a particular Web site does not fall in a security zone. \n\nThe Ranges key contains ranges of TCP/IP addresses. Each TCP/IP range that you specify appears in an arbitrarily named key. This key contains a string value (:Range) that contains the specified TCP/IP range. For each protocol, a DWORD value is added that contains the numeric value of the security zone for the specified IP range. \n\nWhen the Urlmon.dll file uses the MapUrlToZone public function to re

This reflex occurs in about 25% of people and seems to occur more often in Caucasians. It is called photic sneeze reflex, or Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helioophthalmic Outburst Syndrome. There is little research in this area, but the current thinking is that the eye's optic nerve and the nerves causing sneezing are closely related, so that when the eye is stimulated, sneezing occurs.

I would like to have more information on degenerative disc disease than mt physician is giving me,, thanks	Degenerative disease is, in fact not a real disease. It is a process of wear and tear that occurs with ageing in virtually all individuals. It is also referred to as osteoarthritis, arthrosis and spinal arthritis. The joint surface may become eroded and the gristle or cartilage that lines the joint is no longer smooth but pitted. This results in pain and inflammation occurring with movement. In addition to this there is a process of thickening in the ligaments around the joints as well, a gradual deformity of the joint itself rather like the end of a stick that has been hit with a mallet. The result is a splaying out of the joint surface and this edge of bone (osteophytes) causes a characteristic appearance with apparent swelling and enlargement of the joint itself. In addition to these changes, the joint may become inflamed with redness heat and swelling with accompanying pain. Typically the inflammation comes on overnight once the joint is rested and gradually wears off as the joint gets moving.

The back door region in general has many nerve endings and is ultra sensitive to stimulation. Some people can enjoy just tickling it, fingering it, and others desire full insertion. It also depends on if the guy does not know what he is doing too. All a person needs is a bad experience to ruin things for a lifetime. Much like if a woman is raped once its sometimes hard for her to get into sex at all.

3,590	3Education & Reference	Why it is so vital that the remembrance, history and lessons of the Holocaust be passed to a new generation?	Suggest what they, as students, can do to combat and prevent prejudice, discrimination and violence in our world today.	Arguably the answer to that question is: "to prevent similar incidents from happening again".\n\nHowever, similar incidents did happen, and will happen as long as the scope of the event is limited to a single specific case which has an article and a special name for it: "The Holocaust"\n\nNo matter how painful and unforgettable the events of the Holocaust may be, it is -one- of the genocides that happened in this century, if not in the known human history. However one always has to keep a sense of proportion. Proportionately, the genocide of the jewish population in Europe somehow becomes the only genocide that warrants mass publication, exposure. Ultimately the Holocaust itself becomes the specific case of the crimes against jews, and anti semitism, rather than the crimes against humanity and fascism.\n\nMeanwhile the Armenian genocide, Genocide in Rwanda, the genocide against Gypsies and such other events receive very few and limited exposure.\n\nWhat the new generations learn from the Holocaust as it is presented today is limited to the simple moral: antisemitism is bad. But the genocide of the Jews was not made possible through antisemitism but through fascism, through disregard for human life. \n\nFor that reason even only 10 years ago the genocide in Rwanda went relatively unnoticed.\n\nGuess the Tutsi's weren't human enough.

Is Wal-mart really a good deal for America.?

Wal -Mart, america's #1 retailer, saves everyone money that shops there. But is it really a good deal for America. I dont think its what this country really needs. Wal-Mart, forces companies to low bid ther products if they want to do business with Wal-mart, and if you dont your company will more than likely go bust.. This is forceing companies to hire illegal's at low paying salary to be able to compete thus forcing the job market down for all areas of the country. What are americans to do, but cheap at wal-mart or pay higher prices?

its a hard question you ask. they hire lots of people at low wages, but they provide a great service: cheap goods. but these goods are made in other countries, mainly China. i think i would rather pay slightly higher prices for stuff made in america, so i will vote that Wal-Mart is bad

how do you cite a cd you listened to on a research paper?

It depends on which citation format you need for your paper.\n\nHere is an eample for the APA Style:\n\nShocked, M. (1992). Over the waterfall. On Arkansas \n Traveler [CD]. New York: PolyGram Music.\n\nHere are examples of the MLA style:\nCD:\nCounting Crows. August and Everything After. DGC, 1993.\n\nSpecific song:\nCounting Crows. "Mr. Jones." August and Everything After. DGC, 1993.\n\nThe examples above are taken from the Cornell University Library websites below. Please look at the website below, especially for the APA style, to see the proper indentation.\n\nIf you need something more complicated (say a classical music CD which might feature a composer, and/or specific perfomers), most libraries have print copies of the major style manuals which you could consult.\n\nMy rather dated copy of the MLA Handbook (2nd edition, 1984), says that the person cited first in these situations will "depend on the desired emphasis".\n\nHere is one example from that source:\nBeethoven, Ludwig van.

Can the Enron controversy get back to Bush or Cheney?

Just curious, since Bush denied even knowing Mr. Lay, and yet was allowed to use his private jet for his campaign. Plus Cheney and Enron held energy meetings in secret, and we have NO idea what transpired in them. If the accountant is going to squeal on Lay and Skilling, will THEY start to squeal now? Opinions wanted.

It probably has strong ties to Cheney and Bush as Bush is into Oil and Halliburton is the Contractor for many installations and repairs.\nHalliburton has many levels grouped under HKBR and includes design firms to 3rd party inspection companies, so I'm sure it would hit a deadend somewhere before Cheney and his assistant Bush.

will the company accept direct deposits over the internet? Will they accept from a neutral third party such as pay pal? Another possibility is a money order from the US Post Office sent directly to the company.

Why is the word pound (as in weight) abbreviated as 'lbs'?

The abbreviation "lbs." certainly seems like a strange way to write "pounds," until you consider the origin of the word. Like many terms used in science, the word "pound" has a Latin background. It comes from "libra pondo," the Latin expression for a "pound of weight." The English word "pound" comes from "pondo," and the abbreviation "lb." comes from "libra." When you are referring to more than one pound, an "s" is added to the abbreviation to make it plural, so it becomes "lbs."

If the Google people are supposed to be so smart, how come so many of their recent UIs are lame?

Google reader is pretty bad. Google desktop is clunky (although a good idea in theory). Google groups is lame. Heck even their Google Answers sucks in comparison to this Yahoo Answers site.\n\nIn addition, it seems to me that yahoo, ask.com and some others are innovating more on search results. For example, enter in a name of a sports team (in season) on different search engines and you'll see a good example of what I mean.\n\nDo they have too many programmers/engineers and not enough true, touchy/feely UI designers? Does Google plan to just live off their brand now?\n\nConcerned Google stockholder.

In my opinion, Google was never something more than a great search engine. In an early era where dial-up was more common than broadband, Google built a top-notch engine with a very light UI which made it an immediate favorite amongst a lot of users. What was nice about Google was that it never aspired to be something someone else was, it created its own identity as a very comprehensive search engine. However, offlate, I have started losing faith in Google, especially because their objectives and goals as a company seem very unclear. A chunk of their revenue still comes through ads, and their search engine is really the only intellectual property they have developed from the ground-up, otherwise everything else is either just an acquisition or a bad idea. Google earth was previously keynote, Google Talk has been built upon Jabber which is an open source technology for messaging and these were the "other" great ideas besides the search engine, but things like web accelerators and secure connection through VPN are just lame excuses to drive internet traffic through their servers.\n\nAnother great idea from Google was desktop search, but somehow they never capitalized on the idea, and today MSN has come out tops in this department.\n\nAt the end of the day, Google isnt running out of ideas, I think they are running out of focus, something that companies like Yahoo have and very well defined ones at that.

I suffer from Erectile Dysfunction. Dr claimed it as BOTH physical, but more psychological. Any suggestions ?

I suffer from Bipolar Disorder, the Mixed episode and this has some effect. The Dr. diagnosed the reason to be both physical (Prostate troubles) \nand to a much greater extent,psychological.\nProblems include premature ejaculation as well. Although I take Zoloft Antidepressant which has effect on ejaculation, still I ejaculate very rapidly. Viagra, Cialis and Levitra do help to some extent, but do not produce the desired outcome.\nThey have no effect on the fast ejaculation problem. \nI and my partner failed to tolerate to Vacium devices. Pennis Injections do work but they induce pain and have harmful side effects on the long range.

Prostate problems can cause major erectile problems, and even problems with ejaculation. And if you are taking meds for bipolar disorder, those almost always cause problems with ejaculation, but not necessarily with erectile function. You are not in the best of situations, because viagra would probably work well without the bipolar meds. The best course of action is a patient, willing, and caring partner, even if the sex is marginal because of your situation, and understanding and caring partner can help make it very good. A good psychological state and situation can make up for the physical problems - it won't really do much of anything to fix the physical problems, but it can make intimacy more enjoyable. Get creative, and be satisfied with what you've got. A selfish or non-understanding partner would probably not only be extremely stressful and unfulfilling, but probably would tell you a whole lot about them. The most ironic thing is that sexual dysfunction is severly underrearched and not understood very well - particularly physical causes. Until the more recent decades it was almost always assumed to be purely psychological.

Why vote Repulican?

Please tell me why anyone in the middle class or poor\n(those who don't own businesses, work for others who do) would ever vote for a Republican party canidate? Republicans are the party of the wealthy, everything they do benefits the wealthy while the middle class and the poorest people suffer.

The days of the working class democrat are gone my friend. The Kennedy's and Rooservelts are long gone. The democrats now are not concerned about the working class. They are more concerned with dividing classes in this counrty. Look at the issues that effect you everyday and tell me what a democrat has done for you lately. They are more concerned with promising the world to the poor and to minorities. They like to bring race and ethniticity into their issues, when in reality they don't want to bring people together and have everyone be equal, it takes away their base. It's a proven fact that young people, minorities and the poor are the base voters for democrats. The democrats promise to bring new hope to these people, but they don't do anything for them. They try to bring race and class warfare into everything. Once most young people get older they switch their beliefs and begin to become conservative. When minorities and immigrants get good jobs and start businesses they become conservative. The democrats have nothing to offer working class people. I live in a very liberal state and we have elected republican governors for the last 5 years. We went from a 4.5 billion dollar defecit to having a 500 million dollar surplus without doing the old democratic action of raising taxes. I am middle class. My family household income is only $40,000 ( to some democrats I'm in the top 10%) The democrats have done nothing for me. I have the heaviest tax burden, my kids won't get any aid for college, I don't have any laws that place me at the head of the line for a job. Please let me know what a democrat has done for you lately. There aren't many working class democrats out there anymore. Last one I can think of that really cares about the common man is Sen Joe Liberman. The democratic party doesn't care about defending our country. If they had thier way we would sit back let people attack us and fire a missile into an abandoned camp in the Sudan and say "we're even". They are more concerned about the rights of our enemies than the people of this nation. Listening to people like Howard Dean and John Kerry would make me embarressed to be a democrat. The democrats are the most negative party I have seen, they feast on dividing this nation. Ever since the 2000 election they have been out to ruin Bush. Is Bush a great president? He's not the greatest, but far, far from the worst. The democrats will sit back and say that Bush lied about WMD's in Iraq, but fail to remember that for 8 years, Clinton, Gore, Albright, Cohen all made the same claims and talked about how Iraq possesing WMD's was the most dangerous situation in the world. How soon we forget, because we have to attack the president for political gains. So far it isn't working so good. Please tell me what president has gone through what Bush has gone through. In his first 5 years in office. Our country was attacked. The worse attack by a foreign entity in our history. We found that there are thousand of Islamic extremist living in this country and they want to kill us. The threat of the next attack could be tem times worse then what 9/11 brought. We have gone to war in Afghanastan, Iraq, and countless other places we don;t even know about to fight terroism. We have an extremist movement in this world that is very strong that wants to destroy the way of life of the western world. Not just America, the Western World!!. They will stop at nothing to do so. Bush has had to deal with countless natural disasters that we have never experienced before in such great frequency. He has had to deal with the greatest divide this country has seen since the Civil War. He was handed a downward spiral economy that we found was over inflated in the 90's by greedy companies that were cooking the books, and the economy was only made worse by the 9/11 attacks.

can u create a "CON" folder in winxp and how to reset or findout the password in winxp?

The basic problem is that CON is the built in name used for a standard I/O port representing "console". This is just like other ports, like LPT1, LPT2, COM1, COM2, etc. If you managed to created such a file/folder on your machine, all normal input and output that normally come from the keyboard and display on the screen would have to come from and go to the file/folder you created.\n\nDOS device names are reserved words, and cannot be\nused as folder or file names. When parsing a reference to a file or folder, Windows correctly checks for the case in which a single DOS device name is used in the path, and treats it as invalid.\n\nfollowing are reserved device names\n\nCON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4,\nCOM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4,LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9.\n\nu cannot create a folder or file of the above names.\n\nThis actually is a unix-like feature. DOS device drivers are accessible like normal files, i.e. the everything-is-a-file philosophy. CON is the equivalent of /dev/tty, NUL of /dev/null, COM# of /dev/ttyS#, LPT# of /dev/lp# and CLOCK$ corresponds to /dev/rtc (PRN is an alias to LPT1, AUX is COM1). Every character device can be opened this way, block devices (which are assumed to be FAT formatted...) are named A: to Z:, as you will know. Many pseudo character devices (drivers which had to be loaded as drivers but were no character devices, like EMM386, HIMEM.SYS, ..) had forbidden characters like '*' in their device names to be hidden from the user.\n\nThe only problem is: DOS 1, which introduced CON, NUL, PRN and AUX had no directories, i.e. no /dev/, so for compatibility with old DOS1-executables (which don't know that they live in a directory) the character devices have to exist in every directory. Don't know why this feature was not limited to FCB (CP/M like) file access, unix like file numbers were introduced together with directories in DOS 2 (actually the MS programmers had Xenix machines on their desks, I heard)..\n\nsecondly i would say that some extra smart people try to create the Folder "con" by using special characters in front of the folder name such as now take for example one of my friend told me that he had created the folder "con". he showed me the syntax. the correct syntax for creating a folder in DOS is...\n\nmkdir con \n\nbut since the folder "con" cannot be created this command doesnt execute.\nnow see the syntax what my friend showed me\n\nmkdir \.\\d:\con (warning : dont try on ur pc)\nand to delete the folder is\nrd \.\\d:\con\nu know wat will happen\nin windows xp u will c only a folder of name "con" but the actual name is \.\\con\nwe should not use special character in front of folder names.\n\nThere is one more technique to create "con" but it is not known to most of the people.\nThis is the alt+255 technique.\nIn this the user holds the "alt" key and then presses 255 from the numpad before or after the folder name.\nBut alt + 255 is the keyboard combination of underscore(_) or space which is a special character and hence can't be used for folder name.\nWhile displaying the name it wont show the special character, it will show only the name "con"\n\nNow regarding the file "con"\nyou may not have noticed but it is not only the folder "con" cannot be created but also u cannot create a file of name "con" (such as u can't create "con.txt",\n"con.doc","con.ppt" etc...)\nThe reason for this is as follows\n\nIn Dos there are two commands \nfor creating a file we use a command "copy con"\nthe syntax for creating a file in DOS is..\n\ncopy con <filename>\n\nusing the above command u can create a file in DOS.\nnow for copyng a file the command is "copy" in Dos\nthe synatx is ..\n\ncopy <filename1> <filename2&gt

why is the sky blue?

The first steps towards correctly explaining the colour of the sky were taken by John Tyndall in 1859. He discovered that when light passes through a clear fluid holding small particles in suspension, the shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more strongly than the red. This can be demonstrated by shining a beam of white light through a tank of water with a little milk or soap mixed in. From the side, the beam can be seen by the blue light it scatters; but the light seen directly from the end is reddened after it has passed through the tank. The scattered light can also be shown to be polarised using a filter of polarised light, just as the sky appears a deeper blue through polaroid sun glasses.\n\nThis is most correctly called the Tyndall effect, but it is more commonly known to physicists as Rayleigh scattering--after Lord Rayleigh, who studied it in more detail a few years later. He showed that the amount of light scattered is inversely proportional to the fourth power of wavelength for sufficiently small particles. It follows that blue light is scattered more than red light by a factor of (700/400)4 ~= 10.\n\nDust or Molecules?\nTyndall and Rayleigh thought that the blue colour of the sky must be due to small particles of dust and droplets of water vapour in the atmosphere. Even today, people sometimes incorrectly say that this is the case. Later scientists realised that if this were true, there would be more variation of sky colour with humidity or haze conditions than was actually observed, so they supposed correctly that the molecules of oxygen and nitrogen in the air are sufficient to account for the scattering. The case was finally settled by Einstein in 1911, who calculated the detailed formula for the scattering of light from molecules; and this was found to be in agreement with experiment. He was even able to use the calculation as a further verification of Avogadro's number when compared with observation. The molecules are able to scatter light because the electromagnetic field of the light waves induces electric dipole moments in the molecules.\n\nWhy not violet?\nIf shorter wavelengths are scattered most strongly, then there is a puzzle as to why the sky does not appear violet, the colour with the shortest visible wavelength. The spectrum of light emission from the sun is not constant at all wavelengths, and additionally is absorbed by the high atmosphere, so there is less violet in the light. Our eyes are also less sensitive to violet. That's part of the answer; yet a rainbow shows that there remains a significant amount of visible light coloured indigo and violet beyond the blue. The rest of the answer to this puzzle lies in the way our vision works. We have three types of colour receptors, or cones, in our retina. They are called red, blue and green because they respond most strongly to light at those wavelengths. As they are stimulated in different proportions, our visual system constructs the colours we see.\n\n\nResponse curves for the three types of cone in the human eye\n\nWhen we look up at the sky, the red cones respond to the small amount of scattered red light, but also less strongly to orange and yellow wavelengths. The green cones respond to yellow and the more strongly-scattered green and green-blue wavelengths. The blue cones are stimulated by colours near blue wavelengths which are very strongly scattered. If there were no indigo and violet in the spectrum, the sky would appear blue with a slight green tinge. However, the most strongly scattered indigo and violet wavelengths stimulate the red cones slightly as well as the blue, which is why these colours appear blue with an added red tinge. The net effect is that the red and green cones are stimulated about equally by the light from the sky, while the blue is stimulated more strongly. This combination accounts for the pale sky blue colour. It may not be a coincidence that our vision is adjusted to see the sky as a pure hue. We have evol

restriction of application download thru registry settings

This article describes how and where Internet Explorer security zones and privacy settings are stored and managed in the registry. You can use Group Policy or the Microsoft Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) to set security zones and privacy settings. If you are using Group Policy or IEAK on a Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer, you may have to install several hotfixes to set security zones and privacy settings.\n\n\nIf the Security Zones: Use only machine settings setting in Group Policy is enabled, or if the Security_HKLM_only DWORD value is present and has a value of 1 in the following registry key, only local computer settings are used and all users have the same security settings: \nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\nWith the Security_HKLM_only policy enabled, HKLM values will be used by Internet Explorer, but the HKCU values will still be displayed in the zone settings on the Security tab in Internet Explorer. This is by design and there are no plans to change this functionality.\n\nIf the Security Zones: Use only machine settings setting is not enabled in Group Policy, or if the Security_HKLM_only DWORD value does not exist or is set to 0, computer settings are used along with user settings. However, only user settings appear in the Internet Options. For example, when this DWORD value does not exist or is set to 0, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE settings are read along with HKEY_CURRENT_USER settings, but only HKEY_CURRENT_USER settings appear in the Internet Options.\nNote With the Security_HKLM_only policy enabled, HKLM values will be used by Internet Explorer, but the HKCU values will still be displayed in the zone setting tab within the Internet Explorer Interface. This is by design, and there are no plans to change this functionality at this time. \nTemplatePolicies\nThe TemplatePolicies key determines the settings of the default security zone levels (Low, Medium Low, Medium, and High). You can change the security level settings from the default settings. However, you cannot add additional security levels. The keys contain values that determine the setting for the security zone. Each key contains a Description string value and a Display Name string value that determine the text that appears on the Security tab for each security level. \nZoneMap\nThe ZoneMap key contains the following keys: • Domains \n• ProtocolDefaults \n• Ranges \nThe Domains key contains domains and protocols that have been added to change their behavior from the default behavior. When a domain is added, a key is added to the Domains key. Subdomains appear as keys under the domain where they belong. Each key that lists a domain contains a DWORD with a value name of the affected protocol. The value of the DWORD is the same as the numeric value of the security zone where the domain is added.\n\nThe ProtocolDefaults key specifies the default security zone that is used for a particular protocol (ftp, http, https). To change the default setting, you can either add a protocol to a security zone by clicking Add Sites on the Security tab, or you can add a DWORD value under the Domains key. The name of the DWORD value must match the protocol name, and it must not contain any colons (:) or slashes (/). \n\nThe ProtocolDefaults key also contains DWORD values that specify the default security zones where a protocol is used. You cannot use the controls on the Security tab to change these values. This setting is used when a particular Web site does not fall in a security zone. \n\nThe Ranges key contains ranges of TCP/IP addresses. Each TCP/IP range that you specify appears in an arbitrarily named key. This key contains a string value (:Range) that contains the specified TCP/IP range. For each protocol, a DWORD value is added that contains the numeric value of the security zone for the specified IP range. \n\nWhen the Urlmon.dll file uses the MapUrlToZone public function to re

There is no cure for the cold. You just have to ride it out. You can take over the counter med., get plenty of rest, chicken noodle soup,plenty of liquids (water and/or juice). Maybe a soothing bath and/or shower to help you relax and feel good. Listen to some Soothing music.

I have been diagnosed with degenerative disease, could you tell me about the disease please? Thank you?

I would like to have more information on degenerative disc disease than mt physician is giving me,, thanks

Degenerative disease is, in fact not a real disease. It is a process of wear and tear that occurs with ageing in virtually all individuals. It is also referred to as osteoarthritis, arthrosis and spinal arthritis. The joint surface may become eroded and the gristle or cartilage that lines the joint is no longer smooth but pitted. This results in pain and inflammation occurring with movement. In addition to this there is a process of thickening in the ligaments around the joints as well, a gradual deformity of the joint itself rather like the end of a stick that has been hit with a mallet. The result is a splaying out of the joint surface and this edge of bone (osteophytes) causes a characteristic appearance with apparent swelling and enlargement of the joint itself. In addition to these changes, the joint may become inflamed with redness heat and swelling with accompanying pain. Typically the inflammation comes on overnight once the joint is rested and gradually wears off as the joint gets moving.

Why do people come up with such crazy names for themselves in your opnion?

I think something is wrong with some people...like myself

I think its just that people think plain names are boring, and they would not be noticed. So they go for what can be considered "creative names". \n\nBut then, you see, not everyone can be creative enough, or , putting it mildly, not every one can be good enough at creativity to please everyone. That means there would be a lot of names that a lot of other people won't like. \n\nBut then, I am sure, for every name, there would be many other who think its cool. Its just like an evening dress that you would wear. Some like it, some don't. Some think its crazy, others consider it cool. \n\nWhat do you think about mine ;-)

when breast cancer is the size of a quarter, how serious is it?

Any amount of cancer is dangerous and needs to be checked out ASAP before it spreads and grows. A doctor can tell you if removing it will stop the spread...but you'll most like have to go back to get check ups to measure if any is left in your body.\n\nDelaying your visit to the doctors is not recommended.

In order to receive payment for goods shipped to a customer in another country, the seller will need?

Well I know that having a paypal account is useful for overseas transactions.. Remember that the money has to be converted, which paypal does automatically, but take that into account with your price of course. As for anything else I am uncertain, duty fees and such are usually the buyers responsibility as far as I know. Check with whomever you are sending package, they will give you the correct paper work to fill out.. and there is paperwork. Hope this helps a little. good luck

I am not a Republican, but I play one on TV...:-) Seriously, I believe that they feel trading some freedom for more security is a wise policy. I understand the need to feel safe, and I am generally in favor of measures that increase our security. However, that does not extend to the Patriot Act, which I see as a slippery slope away from what America is supposed to be.

Do girls like to get it in the back i.e. a**?

Or do they hate it? Have you tried it?

It varies from woman to woman. Some like it, some love it, and some hate it. The back door region in general has many nerve endings and is ultra sensitive to stimulation. Some people can enjoy just tickling it, fingering it, and others desire full insertion. It also depends on if the guy does not know what he is doing too. All a person needs is a bad experience to ruin things for a lifetime. Much like if a woman is raped once its sometimes hard for her to get into sex at all. So if you are even thinking about it I would say read up and learn about back door love so you know how to do what you are going to attempt first.

Why it is so vital that the remembrance, history and lessons of the Holocaust be passed to a new generation?

Suggest what they, as students, can do to combat and prevent prejudice, discrimination and violence in our world today.

Arguably the answer to that question is: "to prevent similar incidents from happening again".\n\nHowever, similar incidents did happen, and will happen as long as the scope of the event is limited to a single specific case which has an article and a special name for it: "The Holocaust"\n\nNo matter how painful and unforgettable the events of the Holocaust may be, it is -one- of the genocides that happened in this century, if not in the known human history. However one always has to keep a sense of proportion. Proportionately, the genocide of the jewish population in Europe somehow becomes the only genocide that warrants mass publication, exposure. Ultimately the Holocaust itself becomes the specific case of the crimes against jews, and anti semitism, rather than the crimes against humanity and fascism.\n\nMeanwhile the Armenian genocide, Genocide in Rwanda, the genocide against Gypsies and such other events receive very few and limited exposure.\n\nWhat the new generations learn from the Holocaust as it is presented today is limited to the simple moral: antisemitism is bad. But the genocide of the Jews was not made possible through antisemitism but through fascism, through disregard for human life. \n\nFor that reason even only 10 years ago the genocide in Rwanda went relatively unnoticed.\n\nGuess the Tutsi's weren't human enough.
