4,003	9Politics & Government	Will the UN or the world courts try Bush or Cheney for war crimes?	With the news of the torture in Afghanistan prisons as well as in Guantanamo Bay, some are saying that this is a war crime and punishable under the world court. Will there be charges levied or will political forces prevent such actions?	No. The International Criminal Court (ICC) tries individuals for war crimes, and therefore the US naturally did not ratify the ICC treaty. Bill Clinton signed it but did not submit it for ratification; Bush nullified even the signature. Only countries that have ratified the treaty can have their citizens tried.\n\nSo, the US won't ever have anyone tried for war crimes.

4,009	3Education & Reference	An American History Question, College Level?	What were some of the factors that enabled and inhibited American expansionism? \n\nFocus: Some of the items that you should consider for this question include: Expansion of US Rail System, Role of the Federal Govt in this process (Did it encourage this development? How? Why?), Treatment of Native Americans (What did mean for the Western growth of this country after this group was finally broken?), and role of Immigration (How did this relate to this development?)	I'd look at the Monroe Doctrine (i think). It has a statement by a former president that says that the American dream should be for the country to touch the atlantic and the pacific. \nUS rail system encouraged travelers & those moving by providing efficient transportation.\nFed Govt encouraged this by buying, annexing, and winning by force property that is now the United States.\nNative Americans presented a barrier and discouraged those moving to live in a place where raids were frequent. The US should have made terms with the Native Americans to make peace in the beginning.\nImmigrants went where ever jobs were needed, so they were always ready to move somewhere else if they could get a job.\nHope it helps.

4,011	2Health	i have been bleeding continouosly since I gave birth in January. what could be the cause of this?		It could be a sign of infection or hormonal imbalance.

4,012	6Business & Finance	How much money can one make on a personal blog using Google AdSense?	Some realistic measures would be good - for example - page views, unique users, number of posts, search engine rankings, frequency of posts, etc. How do these affect the Google AdSense revenues?	Has your site been accepted by Google Adsense?\n\nNormally Google Adsense doesn't accept personal sites because of the content may or not contain the same theme.\n\nI own a site under my name, but the content is all seo related because of my services.\n\nThe best thing to do is read the terms of service and see if your site qualifies first. \n\nOnce you've done that, then ask for an account.\n\nAs for making money from blogging, there are some bloggers who are making up 6 figures doing it.\n\nI've listed several resources below that will further answer your question and give you the tools you need.

4,019	6Business & Finance	what is the meaning of life?		Socrates and Plato and a thousand other deep thinkers down through history have tried to define or explain the meaning of life. Each with his own perception and understanding and most times with a very complicated explanation.\n\n It was not until I took up hiking in the mountains of Tennessee that I had plenty of time to ponder the complexities of this age old question. Being a Christian I was raised to believe certain things and to look at life in certain ways. But as I got older and began studying and searching for myself I began to realize that what I was taught as a child was not as complicated as some would have had me believe.\n\n I always wondered why God would have put us here simply to suffer through this life. After all he does love us and of that I have no doubt. So why then? I studied and pondered and reflected in deep thought just like many have before me, and like them, to no avail.\n\n Then one day while hiking the Appalachian Trail in Tennessee I came to a clearing overlooking a valley. It was a clear day with the sun shining bright. As I looked out across the valley I saw an eagle soaring on the wind. And as usual the thought crossed my mind that it would be really nice to be able to soar like that. Then I thought, do eagles look at us and wish they were like us?\n\n That is when something inside me clicked. It was more like an explosion or an awakening of sorts. The meaning of life was so simple that I had looked right past it thinking that it would be some big discovery of some sort. Some words of wisdom that would make me look like a genius. Instead three words kept going through my brain. Thundering as if God himself was speaking them directly into my thoughts.\n\n We spend our entire lives from the moment we take our first breath til our last one is used up trying to be something we aren't. Whether we are trying to get a job by seeming more experienced or trying to win someones heart by becoming the person they are looking for. We act differently in different situations. Why? \n\n It is in our nature I suppose or at least the nature of the flesh. But God's nature is to be the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. And since we are to strive to be more "God-like", which I used to think meant to try to be perfect, then the meaning of life is nothing more than to "JUST BE YOU!"\n\n Yep, it is just that simple. Be you no matter what happens or where you are or who you are with or what you are trying to achieve. If you can do this you will be something that the majority of people will never be. Good, bad or indifferent you will Just Be You.
4,020	7Entertainment & Music	Howard Stern: Are his radio broadcasts available through / on the internet?	Do not have access to his regular radio broadcasts or his proposed satellite broadcasts. Is there any way I can listen to his broadcasts / podcasts through the net ? Suggest a few sites.	Howard Stern has been consistently hostile towards any effort to re-distribute any of his content on the Internet, for example contractually preventing affiliate radio stations from streaming on the Internet while airing The Howard Stern Show. When the show reaches Sirius satellite radio on January 9th 2006, subscribers will be unable to listen to it through the Sirius web site.\n\nWhile a number of fans record the show and make copies available to download on a daily basis, either directly or via BitTorrent files, linking to any of these sources or downloading from them is tantamount to copyright infringement. Having said that, your favourite search engine, given the right search phrase, would be able to locate one.
4,021	1Science & Mathematics	where is the northstar?		Due North. There are a couple of ways to find it. One is to face due north and look up a bit. If you know your latitude, you can find the North Star by looking up that many degrees from the horizon. Hence, if you're in SF like me, the North Star will be ~38 degrees above the horizon.\n\nThe easier way is to find the Big Dipper\nhttp://www.wsanford.com/~wsanford/exo/constellations/bigdipper.gif\nWhich is a prominent and easy constellation to find in the northern sky. Then, close one eye, stretch out your arm, and spread your fingers so that the front two stars (across from the "handle") are each covered by one of your fingers. Those front two stars point right at the North Star. Trac out in a straight line from those two stars, going "up" (if you imagine the dipper being oriented in a way that it would hold water) for a distance that is five times the distance between those two front stars. So if you swing your arm along, placing the lower finger where the top finger just was, and keeping the spacing of your fingers steady, it will direct you to a bright star. That star is the North Star.

4,032	9Politics & Government	A paragraph to define Shi'ite, Kurds, Sunni factions?	Keep reading about them, but don't have a handy-dandy guide to remember their differences.	Islam does not have nearly as many sects and divisions as does Christianity, but there are a few and it is worth knowing something about them. The two biggest are the Sunnis and the Shi'ites, with the Sunnis being the largest of all and representing the vast majority of Muslims. Shi'ites are a minority everywhere except Iran. \n\nAfter them, the two most influential sects are the Sufis and the Wahhabis. The Sufis represent a mystical tradition in Islam, whereas the Wahhabis are a strict traditionalist tradition which is dominant on the Arabian peninsula, but has little support elsewhere. \n\nUnlike churches, mosques are not denominational. Despite the differences among Muslims, traditional Friday prayer services are largely similar and Muslims of any background are welcome to attend services at any mosque. \n\nWho are the Sunnis?\nSunnis are Muslims who are considered the more "orthodox" believers. Sunnis follow all of the most traditional beliefs and actions. \n\nWho are the Shi'ites?\nThe term Shi'a is a shortened form of Shi'at Ali, which means "the party of Ali" - and at the time of Ali's death in 661, that is probably all it was: a party or tendency of people who supported Ali's claims to the caliphate. Over time, they became the largest non-Sunni sect in Islam. \n\nWho are the Sufis?\nSufism is important to the development of Islam because it is in this tradition that the more spiritual and mystical aspects were preserved. This stands in contrast to the mainstream of Islam which, through its first centuries, was more concerned with the expansion and organization of the general community. \n\nWho are the Kahrijites?\nIn Arabic, their label means "to go out" - they were, in effect, the first Mulism dissidents and rebels, being present almost from the dawn of Islam. Like later dissidents, they chose to separate themselves from the main body of believers, feeling that the majority of Muslims had lost the "true path." \n\nWho are the Wahhabis?\nMuhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab could be considered the first modern Islamic fundamentalist. He made the central point of his reform movement the idea that absolutely every idea added to Islam after the third century of the Mulsim era was false and should be eliminated. \n\nWho are the Ismailis?\nAn early Shi'a sect which split from the main group because of a dispute over who should be considered the next Imam. \n\nWho are the Zaidis?\nFormed by Zaid, a grandson of Husain, the Zaidis have believed that the true Imam must publicly assert his claim to the title and seek to overthrow the corrupt regime run by unacceptable rulers. \n\nWho are the Fatimids?\nThe Fatimids are a successor movement to the Isma'ilis and are descendants of Fatima and Ali through the line of Isma'il. In the tenth century, those descendants asserted themselves as caliphs in North Africa, and ruled Egypt from 969 to 1171. \n\nWho are the Nizari?\nThis sect is actually very well known around the world, but under a different name: the Assassins. \n\nWho are the Alawis?\nAlso known as Nusayris, the Alawis are a branch of Isma'ilism which has gone so far along its own path that many Muslims no longer even regard it as a form of Islam. The term Alawis actually just means "followers of Ali," which is used in some countries to refer to all Shi'a in general. Some think that they worship Ali as God, but that isn't entirely accurate. \n\nWho are the Druze?\nThe Druze comprise another sect which is not widely regarded as being "truly" Muslim. This group diverged from mainstream Islam in the eleventh century when some Isma'ilis started to believe that God became manifest in the personality of a prophet or imam. \n\nWho are the Baha'i?\nBaha'i is another movement which is descended from Islam, but which most Muslims today no longer regard as authentically Islamic. \n\nMost of these are Arab Muslims.. The Kurds

4,035	0Society & Culture	What kind of keyboards do they have in the Asian languages?	I'm an old typist and secretary, but I also like learning about different languages and cultures. This question has been killing me for several decades now. So far, I've been too lazy----or busy,not sure which-----to research it myself.\n\nThey have thousands of characters, right, in Japanese and in Chinese? So, how do they type on a keyboard? Which characters do they choose? What fingers? What are the home keys?	Although there are specialized keyboards, for the most part Japanese and Chinese just use regular keyboards that uses software to change keystrokes into thier respective languages - for example, typing "KA" on a Japanese system will result in the Japanese hiragana "ka", etc.

You've answered your own question.\nNo, f(x) is not defined at x=3 because the denominator would equal 0. It doesn't matter what the numerator is.\n\nAnd btw, the expression simplifies to f(x)=x+3, where x<>3, \nbecause (x^2)-9=(x+3)*(x-3).

4,043	2Health	Is it safe to cum inside of a girl when she is on her period?		No!!! Just because a woman is on her period doesn't mean she can't get pregnant, if that is what you mean by 'safe.' It takes anywhere from 5-8 days for another egg to form after/during menstruation, and sperm can live within the body for 3 days at least. So if she is on her period, do the math and each other a favor and use a rubber. Or go to a planned parenthood facility to obtain safe birth control (remember that only a condom can protect against sexually transmitted diseases) without your parents having to find out.

4,046	8Family & Relationships	Husband went to movie leaving me w child, 10PM,didn't care if I cared or not - is this normal behavior?	He's frequently away for business up to one month at a time - but home for 3 weeks for the holidays. I expressed my dissatisfaction earlier and he asked if I had any interest in Harry Potter. I said, well I had read the first book. He said, well, this was the fourth book. This was around 7 PM. Then, at 10 PM, he jumped up suddenly, put his coat on, and took the keys and said "see ya later"..... He has not offered to take me anywhere so far, either... soon he will go back to the east coast for business for around another 4 weeks again.....	Sorry, it doesn't sound good.\n\nI would investigate his ties on the east coast..\n\nOf course, he could also have no idea of how to invite you with the kid, and is generally insensitive. He should have waited for the video of got a sitter so you both could go.
4,047	0Society & Culture	How do I know when God speaks to me?	How will I know when God wants me to do something or when he speaks to me? Sometimes I believe it's his voice, then I believe it's me thinking to myself. How do I know?	Good question!!!!! I always wondered about that, too. We talked about it at Bible study one week and we found some good Scripture passages that help.\n1 Corinthians 10:12 says that discernment is a spiritual gift that some people have. Discernment is basically being able to tell the difference between spirits (whether it is from God, yourself, or the ). \nBut not everyone has the gift to tell the difference, so what do you do if you don't have that gift?\n1 John 4:1-3 says to test the spirits to see if they are from God. These verses refer to prophets, but it applies to spirits, also. Test them to see if they seem to be from God, and pray that God will reveal to you whether it is from Him or not. He will provide you with answers!\nIn Acts 16:16-19, we see that spirits can come from the , but they may seem to be from God (the message may seem to be true and good). This is another case where you just have to pray and then trust that God will show you whether it is Him speaking to you or not. \nAll in all, it just involves a lot of prayer. Pray that God will reveal to you whether it is His voice or not. He will show you. Sometimes you'll just get a feeling that will tell you it is Him, and sometimes there will be signs everywhere you turn that tell you what the right thing is to do. \nCheck out Isaiah 30:21. It's a pretty sweet verse. Just keep trusting in God!

Being my last NYE in Sydney, Australia I will probably give some thought to going to the Bridge fireworks this year. \nHowever, given the size of Sydney NYE crowds expected (Over a million) this year, and the recent unrest in large crowds here, it might be wiser to stay home as I am in a wheelchair.\n\nStill, It would be nice to see the fireworks properly once while I'm in Sydney.

That's why joining with a like-minded organization is helpful, you have a large number of people, motivated to action. When a politico is bombarded with large volumes of mail from unhappy constituents, he has no choice but to take notice. Another important factor is publicity. There's nothing a politician hates more than to have his dirty little secrets revealed. And yes, you must be persistent, as persistent as a lava flow. Best of luck to you.\n"Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny." -Lazarus Long\n"That government is best which governs least." -Thomas Paine

Knowledge+" of Yahoo! Taiwan. But I wonder if there's any major differences between them?\n\nhttp://tw.knowledge.yahoo.com/	It seems the 2 services are foundamentally the same, but I notice minor differences such as:\n* Taiwan Yahoo! Knowledge+ allows more user choices eg choose how many points to give, how many days to wait when posting a question.\n* Taiwan Yahoo! Knowledge+ provides automatic category suggestion when posting questions, in US Yahoo! Answers you have to choose your own.\n* Yahoo!

If you do, you're a Christian as far as I'm concerned.\n\nThere is much more you could do, I'm sure. But I think believing and having faith are really what matters.

Crying is a natural phenomenon.\nMen are taught from childhood that boys do not cru, so they have a lot of suppressed feelings in their hearts which leads to a lot of pscho-somatic disorders.

4,078	9Politics & Government	Can anybody form there own country and how would you form a country?		First, you must acquire territory. Since all territory on the Earth is currently affiliated with a country, you would need to either buy it or take it by force. \n\nAlternately, you could attempt to form an artificial island in international waters (no one owns the sea out about 10 miles from land.) This has actually been done- google "Sealand."\n\nThen you must be able to defend it. This can be done by either forming and maintaining your own military (this is the ususal way) or by getting other countries to protect you. Monaco and Luxembourg are both tiny countries with no real military power, but if anyone invades them NATO allies will probably stop that (because, really- why beat up on Monaco?) Sealand, for instance, was attacked several times.\n\nYou will also need some citizens and a form of government (republicanism, communism, democracy etc.) \n\nFinally, you need a sustainable economy- your people have to do something to support themselves and your government.

4,085	9Politics & Government	WHY DOES LINCOLN ON THE PENNY FACE THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE OTHER COINED PRESIDENTS?		The likeness of President Lincoln on the one-cent coin is an adaptation of a plaque by Victor David Brenner, an outstanding portraitist and sculptor. President Theodore Roosevelt, impressed with Brenner’s plaque, recommended to the Secretary of the Treasury that Brenner’s design be used on a coin to be issued in 1909, the Lincoln Centennial Year. The direction Lincoln faces on the cent was not mandated—it was simply Brenner’s design choice.\n\nIn 2005, the portrait of Thomas Jefferson also faces right. This was also a decision made by the artist, Joe Fitzgerald of the Artistic Infusion Program as part of the Westward Journey Nickel Series™.

People your age tend to not like when people do that. It's because they don't think on the same level that you do.\n\nJunior high sucks, it's true. You just have to push through it. People do get more mature and they stop making such a big deal about you being wise beyond your years. Just hang in there.
4,090	4Computers & Internet	getting hits from a search engine?		Long answer short : Follow three steps :\n\n(1) Put good content on your site\n(2) Register it to search engines\n(3) Convince other sites to link more.\n\nExplaination :\n\nI could have gone on lenght on answering your query. At the first part, one need's to understand the meaning of page rank. You can study a detailed article on it at http://www.webworkshop.net/pagerank.html\n\nIn short, here's an example. There's an election and several candidates have stood up. Its natural that the guy with the most votes wins. Analogously, whenever a external page links to your website, it casts a vote for your website. So, when you search for a relevant keyword for your pages, the results come as per the no of links that you have collected.\n\nTo get more links, you can ask some of your friends who have website to put link to your website. The more the links, the higher is your rank in google results. An alternative is to start your own blog on 3-4 websites, and in each blog, put a link to your website. Indeed, if your site has quality content, mpressed visitors start linking you, specially the blogging community.\n\nAnother important part is that who links you. For example, if you get a link from a website which already has a high page rank, you automatically get a better rank. For example, if you get a link from microsoft.com or cnet.com, which have a highest page ranks, your rank shoots up automatically.\n\nGoogle rank is composed of many other factors, but the only factor it misses out is the popularity by visitors who go to the links directly. Yahoo does a good job by keeping that into account. If you carefully see the link that are seen in the Yahoo search results, a similar vote is also casted by clicking on the link in the search results. It could be possible that your website has huge no. of visitors who come through searches, but small number of links. Then its Yahoo rank would be high (more accurate), but google rank would be low. There have been many such interesting cases, so don't just consider google as your only target. Why google does not keep this 'click popularity' feature is because it takes a certain delay of time( for registering of vote on Yahoo and forwarding to the actual link), which Google does not want to take.\n\nThings You Should Never Do In Life:\nNever try to promote your site commercially from spamsters. Some of their sites are banned from google database. And if they give a link to your website, your page rank drops down drastically, and even might get removed from the search results. Also, do not link to their websites.\n\nThis is the solution to crux of your problem. You can read further on such search engine optimizations at the following sites :\nhttp://wolfram.org/writing/howto/3.html\nhttp://www.ssw.com.au/SSW/Standards/Rules/RulestoBetterGoogleRankings.aspx\nhttp://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol3/promo_no16.htm\nhttp://us.ecademy.com/node.php?id=58077\nhttp://www.paramountwebmasters.com/improve_my_rankings_on_google.php\nhttp://www.graphic-design.com/Web/increase_rank.html

If a guy acts like a dick to other people then most likely he is going to start acting a dick to you sometime or another. Just find someone that treats people equal and is overall out going and nice to others.\n\nalso, if you don't show him that you want to be treated well then most likely he won't. Give him what he gives you.\n\ntrust me there are nice guys, I'm one of them.\n\nEdit: like the guy above me...avoid people like him.

You may have to start as a hostess, but that would give you a good start to jump into a server position if you can't get one right off. In a major chain if you work the busy nights and work your tail off to get good tips...you can clear $20 and hour.
4,095	0Society & Culture	Who is Yahshua? Who is Yahweh? Who is Elohim?	Did Yahweh command or allow for His Names and titles to be changed?\n\nBe serious about your answer. And be prepared to be challenged by the hebrew and greek manuscripts, which were used to translate the bible you read!!!	Yahshua is Hebrew for what we term "Joshua" which means Jehovah is Salvation.\n\nYahweh is the closest we can come to what God called Himself since the Jewish scholars refused to spell out His Name fully. The closest we have is the consonants YHWH, or YaHWeH.\n\nEl is the word for God. Elohim is the plural--not "gods" but God in the mystic threefold unity. The Echad. See my study below, "Is God One or Three?"\n\nYHWH did not command for His names or titles to be changed. However, He also did not punish the Hebrews or the new Gentile church for it either. He knows who He is. He is the God of Abraham, Ysaak and Yakob, and His Name is to be worshipped and praised. Baruch HaShem Adonai. :)

Will the UN or the world courts try Bush or Cheney for war crimes?

With the news of the torture in Afghanistan prisons as well as in Guantanamo Bay, some are saying that this is a war crime and punishable under the world court. Will there be charges levied or will political forces prevent such actions?

No. The International Criminal Court (ICC) tries individuals for war crimes, and therefore the US naturally did not ratify the ICC treaty. Bill Clinton signed it but did not submit it for ratification; Bush nullified even the signature. Only countries that have ratified the treaty can have their citizens tried.\n\nSo, the US won't ever have anyone tried for war crimes.

Hi Pandey !!!\n\nGetting into BPO does not need any particular degree or subject. Now, many companies are asking for Graduation and some companies even SSC or a diploma.\n\nMyself is in medical transcription and I trained in a company here in Hyderabad does not bother about your qualification, just you have to be good at English.\n\nNowadays, GE has openings for their call center that needs the candidates to be good at English and a minimum qualification of SSC.\n\nBPO companies put general test that includes English, mental ability, and arithmetic problems.\n\nYou will get initially Rs. 3000-6000 depending on which company you are working with in which field you are and within six months, you can reach 10k provided that you are excel at work and proven your skills.\n\nI hope this answers.\n\n\n>>> Naveen Kumar

3Education & Reference

An American History Question, College Level?

What were some of the factors that enabled and inhibited American expansionism? \n\nFocus: Some of the items that you should consider for this question include: Expansion of US Rail System, Role of the Federal Govt in this process (Did it encourage this development? How? Why?), Treatment of Native Americans (What did mean for the Western growth of this country after this group was finally broken?), and role of Immigration (How did this relate to this development?)

I'd look at the Monroe Doctrine (i think). It has a statement by a former president that says that the American dream should be for the country to touch the atlantic and the pacific. \nUS rail system encouraged travelers & those moving by providing efficient transportation.\nFed Govt encouraged this by buying, annexing, and winning by force property that is now the United States.\nNative Americans presented a barrier and discouraged those moving to live in a place where raids were frequent. The US should have made terms with the Native Americans to make peace in the beginning.\nImmigrants went where ever jobs were needed, so they were always ready to move somewhere else if they could get a job.\nHope it helps.

How much money can one make on a personal blog using Google AdSense?

Some realistic measures would be good - for example - page views, unique users, number of posts, search engine rankings, frequency of posts, etc. How do these affect the Google AdSense revenues?

Has your site been accepted by Google Adsense?\n\nNormally Google Adsense doesn't accept personal sites because of the content may or not contain the same theme.\n\nI own a site under my name, but the content is all seo related because of my services.\n\nThe best thing to do is read the terms of service and see if your site qualifies first. \n\nOnce you've done that, then ask for an account.\n\nAs for making money from blogging, there are some bloggers who are making up 6 figures doing it.\n\nI've listed several resources below that will further answer your question and give you the tools you need.

what is the meaning of life?

Socrates and Plato and a thousand other deep thinkers down through history have tried to define or explain the meaning of life. Each with his own perception and understanding and most times with a very complicated explanation.\n\n It was not until I took up hiking in the mountains of Tennessee that I had plenty of time to ponder the complexities of this age old question. Being a Christian I was raised to believe certain things and to look at life in certain ways. But as I got older and began studying and searching for myself I began to realize that what I was taught as a child was not as complicated as some would have had me believe.\n\n I always wondered why God would have put us here simply to suffer through this life. After all he does love us and of that I have no doubt. So why then? I studied and pondered and reflected in deep thought just like many have before me, and like them, to no avail.\n\n Then one day while hiking the Appalachian Trail in Tennessee I came to a clearing overlooking a valley. It was a clear day with the sun shining bright. As I looked out across the valley I saw an eagle soaring on the wind. And as usual the thought crossed my mind that it would be really nice to be able to soar like that. Then I thought, do eagles look at us and wish they were like us?\n\n That is when something inside me clicked. It was more like an explosion or an awakening of sorts. The meaning of life was so simple that I had looked right past it thinking that it would be some big discovery of some sort. Some words of wisdom that would make me look like a genius. Instead three words kept going through my brain. Thundering as if God himself was speaking them directly into my thoughts.\n\n We spend our entire lives from the moment we take our first breath til our last one is used up trying to be something we aren't. Whether we are trying to get a job by seeming more experienced or trying to win someones heart by becoming the person they are looking for. We act differently in different situations. Why? \n\n It is in our nature I suppose or at least the nature of the flesh. But God's nature is to be the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. And since we are to strive to be more "God-like", which I used to think meant to try to be perfect, then the meaning of life is nothing more than to "JUST BE YOU!"\n\n Yep, it is just that simple. Be you no matter what happens or where you are or who you are with or what you are trying to achieve. If you can do this you will be something that the majority of people will never be. Good, bad or indifferent you will Just Be You.

Howard Stern: Are his radio broadcasts available through / on the internet?

Do not have access to his regular radio broadcasts or his proposed satellite broadcasts. Is there any way I can listen to his broadcasts / podcasts through the net ? Suggest a few sites.

Howard Stern has been consistently hostile towards any effort to re-distribute any of his content on the Internet, for example contractually preventing affiliate radio stations from streaming on the Internet while airing The Howard Stern Show. When the show reaches Sirius satellite radio on January 9th 2006, subscribers will be unable to listen to it through the Sirius web site.\n\nWhile a number of fans record the show and make copies available to download on a daily basis, either directly or via BitTorrent files, linking to any of these sources or downloading from them is tantamount to copyright infringement. Having said that, your favourite search engine, given the right search phrase, would be able to locate one.

where is the northstar?

Due North. There are a couple of ways to find it. One is to face due north and look up a bit. If you know your latitude, you can find the North Star by looking up that many degrees from the horizon. Hence, if you're in SF like me, the North Star will be ~38 degrees above the horizon.\n\nThe easier way is to find the Big Dipper\nhttp://www.wsanford.com/~wsanford/exo/constellations/bigdipper.gif\nWhich is a prominent and easy constellation to find in the northern sky. Then, close one eye, stretch out your arm, and spread your fingers so that the front two stars (across from the "handle") are each covered by one of your fingers. Those front two stars point right at the North Star. Trac out in a straight line from those two stars, going "up" (if you imagine the dipper being oriented in a way that it would hold water) for a distance that is five times the distance between those two front stars. So if you swing your arm along, placing the lower finger where the top finger just was, and keeping the spacing of your fingers steady, it will direct you to a bright star. That star is the North Star.

A paragraph to define Shi'ite, Kurds, Sunni factions?

Keep reading about them, but don't have a handy-dandy guide to remember their differences.

Islam does not have nearly as many sects and divisions as does Christianity, but there are a few and it is worth knowing something about them. The two biggest are the Sunnis and the Shi'ites, with the Sunnis being the largest of all and representing the vast majority of Muslims. Shi'ites are a minority everywhere except Iran. \n\nAfter them, the two most influential sects are the Sufis and the Wahhabis. The Sufis represent a mystical tradition in Islam, whereas the Wahhabis are a strict traditionalist tradition which is dominant on the Arabian peninsula, but has little support elsewhere. \n\nUnlike churches, mosques are not denominational. Despite the differences among Muslims, traditional Friday prayer services are largely similar and Muslims of any background are welcome to attend services at any mosque. \n\nWho are the Sunnis?\nSunnis are Muslims who are considered the more "orthodox" believers. Sunnis follow all of the most traditional beliefs and actions. \n\nWho are the Shi'ites?\nThe term Shi'a is a shortened form of Shi'at Ali, which means "the party of Ali" - and at the time of Ali's death in 661, that is probably all it was: a party or tendency of people who supported Ali's claims to the caliphate. Over time, they became the largest non-Sunni sect in Islam. \n\nWho are the Sufis?\nSufism is important to the development of Islam because it is in this tradition that the more spiritual and mystical aspects were preserved. This stands in contrast to the mainstream of Islam which, through its first centuries, was more concerned with the expansion and organization of the general community. \n\nWho are the Kahrijites?\nIn Arabic, their label means "to go out" - they were, in effect, the first Mulism dissidents and rebels, being present almost from the dawn of Islam. Like later dissidents, they chose to separate themselves from the main body of believers, feeling that the majority of Muslims had lost the "true path." \n\nWho are the Wahhabis?\nMuhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab could be considered the first modern Islamic fundamentalist. He made the central point of his reform movement the idea that absolutely every idea added to Islam after the third century of the Mulsim era was false and should be eliminated. \n\nWho are the Ismailis?\nAn early Shi'a sect which split from the main group because of a dispute over who should be considered the next Imam. \n\nWho are the Zaidis?\nFormed by Zaid, a grandson of Husain, the Zaidis have believed that the true Imam must publicly assert his claim to the title and seek to overthrow the corrupt regime run by unacceptable rulers. \n\nWho are the Fatimids?\nThe Fatimids are a successor movement to the Isma'ilis and are descendants of Fatima and Ali through the line of Isma'il. In the tenth century, those descendants asserted themselves as caliphs in North Africa, and ruled Egypt from 969 to 1171. \n\nWho are the Nizari?\nThis sect is actually very well known around the world, but under a different name: the Assassins. \n\nWho are the Alawis?\nAlso known as Nusayris, the Alawis are a branch of Isma'ilism which has gone so far along its own path that many Muslims no longer even regard it as a form of Islam. The term Alawis actually just means "followers of Ali," which is used in some countries to refer to all Shi'a in general. Some think that they worship Ali as God, but that isn't entirely accurate. \n\nWho are the Druze?\nThe Druze comprise another sect which is not widely regarded as being "truly" Muslim. This group diverged from mainstream Islam in the eleventh century when some Isma'ilis started to believe that God became manifest in the personality of a prophet or imam. \n\nWho are the Baha'i?\nBaha'i is another movement which is descended from Islam, but which most Muslims today no longer regard as authentically Islamic. \n\nMost of these are Arab Muslims.. The Kurds

Is it safe to cum inside of a girl when she is on her period?

No!!! Just because a woman is on her period doesn't mean she can't get pregnant, if that is what you mean by 'safe.' It takes anywhere from 5-8 days for another egg to form after/during menstruation, and sperm can live within the body for 3 days at least. So if she is on her period, do the math and each other a favor and use a rubber. Or go to a planned parenthood facility to obtain safe birth control (remember that only a condom can protect against sexually transmitted diseases) without your parents having to find out.

How do I know when God speaks to me?

How will I know when God wants me to do something or when he speaks to me? Sometimes I believe it's his voice, then I believe it's me thinking to myself. How do I know?

Good question!!!!! I always wondered about that, too. We talked about it at Bible study one week and we found some good Scripture passages that help.\n1 Corinthians 10:12 says that discernment is a spiritual gift that some people have. Discernment is basically being able to tell the difference between spirits (whether it is from God, yourself, or the ). \nBut not everyone has the gift to tell the difference, so what do you do if you don't have that gift?\n1 John 4:1-3 says to test the spirits to see if they are from God. These verses refer to prophets, but it applies to spirits, also. Test them to see if they seem to be from God, and pray that God will reveal to you whether it is from Him or not. He will provide you with answers!\nIn Acts 16:16-19, we see that spirits can come from the , but they may seem to be from God (the message may seem to be true and good). This is another case where you just have to pray and then trust that God will show you whether it is Him speaking to you or not. \nAll in all, it just involves a lot of prayer. Pray that God will reveal to you whether it is His voice or not. He will show you. Sometimes you'll just get a feeling that will tell you it is Him, and sometimes there will be signs everywhere you turn that tell you what the right thing is to do. \nCheck out Isaiah 30:21. It's a pretty sweet verse. Just keep trusting in God!

That's why joining with a like-minded organization is helpful, you have a large number of people, motivated to action. When a politico is bombarded with large volumes of mail from unhappy constituents, he has no choice but to take notice. Another important factor is publicity. There's nothing a politician hates more than to have his dirty little secrets revealed. And yes, you must be persistent, as persistent as a lava flow.

Those privileges would be nice but I don't see it as a big deal. The prices there are not significantly lower than elsewhere to make it worth much. I agree with the above commenter that health care and education are much more important. I would like to see better health care options for veterans.

How does a person know they are a true christian?

I think you are a Christian if you think you are. I guess I could ask: do you believe in God? Do you believe Jesus Christ to be God's only Son and the Savior of the world, who died that the sins of the world could be forgiven? If you do, you're a Christian as far as I'm concerned.\n\nThere is much more you could do, I'm sure. But I think believing and having faith are really what matters.

stop the littering, pick up garbage that u see in the road or in back yard, even those airosal cans or hurtin the ozone layer and may cause to make the ozon e hole smaller, if u didn't no were hurting animals in antarctica, PLEASE STOP THE GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!!! PROTECT OUR EARTH, IT'S OUR HOME.

The easiest thing would be to switch all cars to hybrid. Right now. The technology is here. Wind power now costs less than coal, but our government keeps giving money to the coal industry because of lobbyists.

What makes men cry?

Crying is a natural phenomenon.\nMen are taught from childhood that boys do not cru, so they have a lot of suppressed feelings in their hearts which leads to a lot of pscho-somatic disorders. Thats the reason a lot of men cry when they are alone or when they are drunk. Reiki helps understand your feelings

no. there are brain scans about levels of seratonin which is a nurotransmitter which they think is related to depression, but since the brain is so complex, there are many factors and variables. if you feel depressed, you should try talking to a therapist.

If your Dell laptop is still under warranty (you can check with Dell by calling them directly), then you can ship it back to Dell and have them fix it for free under your warranty agreement; otherwise, you can go to any computer repair shop and have them look at it; just remember, if it's still under warranty and someone other than Dell fixes it, you are voiding your warranty contract with Dell and as such, cannot have Dell fix it for you in the future.

Can anybody form there own country and how would you form a country?

First, you must acquire territory. Since all territory on the Earth is currently affiliated with a country, you would need to either buy it or take it by force. \n\nAlternately, you could attempt to form an artificial island in international waters (no one owns the sea out about 10 miles from land.) This has actually been done- google "Sealand."\n\nThen you must be able to defend it. This can be done by either forming and maintaining your own military (this is the ususal way) or by getting other countries to protect you. Monaco and Luxembourg are both tiny countries with no real military power, but if anyone invades them NATO allies will probably stop that (because, really- why beat up on Monaco?) Sealand, for instance, was attacked several times.\n\nYou will also need some citizens and a form of government (republicanism, communism, democracy etc.) \n\nFinally, you need a sustainable economy- your people have to do something to support themselves and your government.

does chiropractic work for headaches?

without a doubt it can. i see it in my practice daily. i have patients who have been to specialists and on all kinds of medications with no real relief. they then come to chiropractic as a "last resort", and almost always have great success with getting adjusted. the biggest issue is that it may take some time to fix the problem that it causing the headaches. some patients find relief quickly, others take longer. the biggest issue is to dig deeper and fix the underlying cause of the headaches rather than just cover up the symptoms!\nhope that helps!

WHY DOES LINCOLN ON THE PENNY FACE THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE OTHER COINED PRESIDENTS?

The likeness of President Lincoln on the one-cent coin is an adaptation of a plaque by Victor David Brenner, an outstanding portraitist and sculptor. President Theodore Roosevelt, impressed with Brenner’s plaque, recommended to the Secretary of the Treasury that Brenner’s design be used on a coin to be issued in 1909, the Lincoln Centennial Year. The direction Lincoln faces on the cent was not mandated—it was simply Brenner’s design choice.\n\nIn 2005, the portrait of Thomas Jefferson also faces right. This was also a decision made by the artist, Joe Fitzgerald of the Artistic Infusion Program as part of the Westward Journey Nickel Series™.

Well, you probably act like an adult. People your age tend to not like when people do that. It's because they don't think on the same level that you do.\n\nJunior high sucks, it's true. You just have to push through it. People do get more mature and they stop making such a big deal about you being wise beyond your years. Just hang in there.

getting hits from a search engine?

Long answer short : Follow three steps :\n\n(1) Put good content on your site\n(2) Register it to search engines\n(3) Convince other sites to link more.\n\nExplaination :\n\nI could have gone on lenght on answering your query. At the first part, one need's to understand the meaning of page rank. You can study a detailed article on it at http://www.webworkshop.net/pagerank.html\n\nIn short, here's an example. There's an election and several candidates have stood up. Its natural that the guy with the most votes wins. Analogously, whenever a external page links to your website, it casts a vote for your website. So, when you search for a relevant keyword for your pages, the results come as per the no of links that you have collected.\n\nTo get more links, you can ask some of your friends who have website to put link to your website. The more the links, the higher is your rank in google results. An alternative is to start your own blog on 3-4 websites, and in each blog, put a link to your website. Indeed, if your site has quality content, mpressed visitors start linking you, specially the blogging community.\n\nAnother important part is that who links you. For example, if you get a link from a website which already has a high page rank, you automatically get a better rank. For example, if you get a link from microsoft.com or cnet.com, which have a highest page ranks, your rank shoots up automatically.\n\nGoogle rank is composed of many other factors, but the only factor it misses out is the popularity by visitors who go to the links directly. Yahoo does a good job by keeping that into account. If you carefully see the link that are seen in the Yahoo search results, a similar vote is also casted by clicking on the link in the search results. It could be possible that your website has huge no. of visitors who come through searches, but small number of links. Then its Yahoo rank would be high (more accurate), but google rank would be low. There have been many such interesting cases, so don't just consider google as your only target. Why google does not keep this 'click popularity' feature is because it takes a certain delay of time( for registering of vote on Yahoo and forwarding to the actual link), which Google does not want to take.\n\nThings You Should Never Do In Life:\nNever try to promote your site commercially from spamsters. Some of their sites are banned from google database. And if they give a link to your website, your page rank drops down drastically, and even might get removed from the search results. Also, do not link to their websites.\n\nThis is the solution to crux of your problem. You can read further on such search engine optimizations at the following sites :\nhttp://wolfram.org/writing/howto/3.html\nhttp://www.ssw.com.au/SSW/Standards/Rules/RulestoBetterGoogleRankings.aspx\nhttp://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol3/promo_no16.htm\nhttp://us.ecademy.com/node.php?id=58077\nhttp://www.paramountwebmasters.com/improve_my_rankings_on_google.php\nhttp://www.graphic-design.com/Web/increase_rank.html

ya,\n\nthey are everywhere you just have to know where to look. If a guy acts like a dick to other people then most likely he is going to start acting a dick to you sometime or another. Just find someone that treats people equal and is overall out going and nice to others.\n\nalso, if you don't show him that you want to be treated well then most likely he won't. Give him what he gives you.\n\ntrust me there are nice guys, I'm one of them.\n\nEdit: like the guy above me...avoid people like him.

Server in a restaurant, although you won't be able to serve liquor which is a major downfall. Try to find a major chain. You may have to start as a hostess, but that would give you a good start to jump into a server position if you can't get one right off. In a major chain if you work the busy nights and work your tail off to get good tips...you can clear $20 and hour.

Who is Yahshua? Who is Yahweh? Who is Elohim?

Did Yahweh command or allow for His Names and titles to be changed?\n\nBe serious about your answer. And be prepared to be challenged by the hebrew and greek manuscripts, which were used to translate the bible you read!!!

Yahshua is Hebrew for what we term "Joshua" which means Jehovah is Salvation.\n\nYahweh is the closest we can come to what God called Himself since the Jewish scholars refused to spell out His Name fully. The closest we have is the consonants YHWH, or YaHWeH.\n\nEl is the word for God. Elohim is the plural--not "gods" but God in the mystic threefold unity. The Echad. See my study below, "Is God One or Three?"\n\nYHWH did not command for His names or titles to be changed. However, He also did not punish the Hebrews or the new Gentile church for it either. He knows who He is. He is the God of Abraham, Ysaak and Yakob, and His Name is to be worshipped and praised. Baruch HaShem Adonai. :)
