5,601	1Science & Mathematics	How do the vocal cords generate sound?		The vocal cords are two bands or folds of mucuous covered, elastic muscle tissue. They are located side by side in the voice box (LARNNX) When we are silent, the cords remain open. This is the airway throught which we breathe. \nSound is created when air fro the lungs is pushed throught the closed vocal cords causing them to vibrate - faster for higer sounds and slower for lower pitched sounds.\n\nThe sound quality of the voice is the result of the vocal cords opening and closing smoothly. If air manages to pass throught your vocal cords when it's not supposed to, the voice will sound raspy, hoarse, lower or higher than usual. \nThere are several reasons why a person can lose their voice. The vocal cords are subject to infections (laryngitis), Irritations (repetive strain or use of unhealthy substances like tabacco and alcohol), trauma (a blow to the larynx) and tumours (nodules, polps and ulcers).
5,602	3Education & Reference	Are there any good free sites to study for the CLAST?		Hello Joey, the following sites will help you for preparing and take practice tests for College-Level Academic Skills Test(CLAST).\n\nhttp://www.firn.edu/doe/sas/clsthome.htm\nhttp://www.testprepreview.com/clast_practice.htm\nhttp://writing.fsu.edu/rwc/clast.html\nhttp://mathcenter.usf.edu/courses/clast.html\nhttp://studentservices.fgcu.edu/Testing/clast.htm\nhttp://www.mdc.edu/clast/clast.asp\nhttp://www.fau.edu/student/testing/CLAST.htm\nhttp://www.hccfl.edu/faculty/john_taylor/clast/CLAST.html\nhttp://www.owcc.cc.fl.us/testing/CLAST/index.cfm\n\nI hope you perform well in it. Merry Christmas!
5,603	5Sports	what is 3 second violation in basketball.....?		If you stand inside the paint/key/rectangle in front of the basket for over 3-seconds it is a violation. They made this rule to keep tall posts from hanging out in front of the basket and making all the shots. It allows for a more fair game, but don't get too cauhgt up in constantly thinking about how long you have been in the paint, just be able to realize if you are spendign too much time there.
5,604	1Science & Mathematics	Does this argument make sense?	"Proof" that 2 = 1:\n\na = b \na2 = ab \na2 - b2 = ab-b2 \n(a-b)(a+b) = b(a-b) \na+b = b \nb+b = b \n2b = b \n2 = 1	ur second equation is wrong. \n2a is not equal to a-squared (which u symbolized by ab, since a=b).

5,606	0Society & Culture	To whom atheists go when they have situations in life that go beyond their strength?		We actually realize that we are getting through life on our own, and that our strength comes from ourselves, not from some magic giant man in the sky. And I get support from my family and husband.
5,607	0Society & Culture	why is the old testament important to christians?	importance when it is being read as a whole, comparison to the new testament, and understanding it for new christians	All Scripture is important to believers. The OT was the written Word of God. The NT is about the living Word of God. Jesus is both of them. In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God & the Word was God... And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.\n\nJesus is the Author of the OT; in the NT Jesus is Incarnate. Jesus is God; God is unchanging. Scripture doesn't change. The NT is the same as the OT (with more revelation).\n\nJesus could explain the OT Scriptures so well because He is the Author. He didn't change & He didn't change Scripture - He prophesied it; He clarified it; He personified it!\n\nTHERE ARE UNINSPSIRED PAGES IN YOUR BIBLE - tear out the title pages for "OT" & for "NT" ...you will understand Scripture more completely when your Bible (& your mind) is unified that way.
5,608	8Family & Relationships	I'm a guy my best friend is a girl how do i ask her out on a date?		You said you two were best friends. So you don't become best friends unless you have things in common. I say tell her how you feel and ask her. She might be wanting the same thing but waiting for you.

5,610	1Science & Mathematics	Why does a mirror invert left and right but not top and bottom ?	If someone has a -clear- and precise answer to this question, thanks !!	It doesn't invert left and right.\n\nThat's why your mirror image appears to be using its left hand when you do something with your right hand - if you saw a real person, his left hand would be there. If you could step out of your body and move to where the mirror image stands, your right hand would appear to be to the left of that point of view, because you would have turned around by 180°.
5,611	8Family & Relationships	Why are asian girls scared of black men?	When I try to make a freind with a black, white, latino, woman its not that difficult, but the asian females seem to be scared or somthin, I don't know whats goin on.	I'd say it has a lot to do with culture. Asian parents expect their daughters not to marry out of race, so they don't want to get even remotely involved just in case. There's probably a bit of prejudice in it too.
5,612	0Society & Culture	what should I do?	I feel like all of my prayers are'nt getting through to God, I've backslide alot lately and I'm scared that God dosent accept me any more. It seems like every thing I do is wrong, and conviction jumps on me and makes me feel so down. I feel like I'm a million miles away from God. And all day long I'm constanty thinking what I can do to please God. Can any one figure out what is wrong with me and my walk with Christ? I just long for more of God to be in my life, and i cannot stop thinking about Him, He's on my mind all day long.	We are called to rejoice and be glad (Matt 5:11-12). But we are also warned to be sober-minded (Rom 12:3). One of the most fearful verses I know that keeps me most sober is Matthew 7:21-23: \n 21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’\n\nYou cannot DO anything to please God. He is pleased with perfection. Jesus is perfection, and died for your sins in your place. Do good because he loves you, not to pay your way back "in". Grace is a gift not deserved. See Romans 7: 14-20.\nLove the Lord your God with Everything-\nTrust in Him. The life of the Christian is not easy, it may in fact be hard, for some it has cost their lives, but the rewards for trust and obediance will be phenominal.
5,613	4Computers & Internet	i want to find someone by thier photo can i do that?		The short answer is no. Although there are a few ways that might work.\n\nFind some sort public forum where you could post the picture and have people try and identify them.\n\nPurchase some facial recognition software and then scan have it scan the internet or possibly airports or other public places till you find a match.\n\nIf the picture you have was taken from the internet the source of the file could be a clue. Check the filename and see if it looks unique. If it is search using a search engine and see if you can find more pictures or a name.
5,614	4Computers & Internet	Does A+ or Server+ really help you get more money at work?		Well, A+ or Server+ Or for the matter of fact any certification can not gurantee you more money at the first place. It always take some time before you actually see the fruites of certification. Certification will definetly give you an edge over other co-workers, specially if you have prepared for the exams properly, by reading books, practice labs, simulations etc.
5,615	9Politics & Government	Would China ever really invade Taiwan and if they did would the U.S military intervene?	If this conflict did occur would it be a conventional or a nuclear war and who would win if it was a conventional war. I know the U.S would almost certainly win (China is not capable of launching nuclear icbm's that can reach the east coast.) in a nuclear war although there would be horrific destruction on both sides making it arguable that theer are no true winners in a nuclear conflict.	It has been talked about so if diplomatic talks dont work yes. America would be involved diplomatically, but not by sending ground troops to the area. Its all about the time line, currently the military is downsizing, but at the same time fighting two wars (IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN) To take on a power like China (pop. 1.4 billion, military is 5 times the size of USA) we would need some major backing. Not likely, in fact America is probably very afriad to go to war with such a power as China, they have Nukes.

5,618	2Health	does chronic sinusitis cause dizziness?		Not generally, no. However if the infection should get to your ears, which wouldn't be uncommon, it can affect the vestibular system, thus making you dizzy. Generally speaking, if you are having dizziness, you should see your doctor to get some antibiotics (if not taking them already) as an inner ear infection can do bad things if left unchecked. One should also consider the possibility that something else could be causing the dizziness at the brainstem...which would be really bad! Either case, see your Dr.
5,619	7Entertainment & Music	How many frets are on a fretboard of an acoustic guitar?	I have a program that teaches how to play frets 1-10. I do not know which end is 1 and which end is 10. I counted from the end of the fretboard to the bottom and its 14 frets. I've seen a diagram of chords online that shows 22 frets. Where can I find a detailed listing of frets and what number is what fret?	the #1 fret is the very top one. Count down from there, and you will see how many are on the guitar. Some acoustics have 20, some have 21,22,23....it all varies by guitar. A good website to reference is www.chordfind.com.....good luck...Brad

5,621	6Business & Finance	is now a good time to buy a house?	is now a good time to buy a house?	It depends. Now is always a good time to buy a house if it's going to be your primary residence. Not only is owning going to take you out of paying rent and probably someone else's mortgage...there are tax benefits as well. There is no better feeling than ownership. It is also a way to force savings (when you pay principle)\n\nIf you are planning on buying a house for speculation or investment/rental...I'd probably hold off. People who are buying and flipping properties are creating this "bubble".\n\nI just heard on NewsTalk radio that there were 8000 homes for sale in the Phoenix area about 6-12 months ago...and right now there's over 20,000.

5,626	4Computers & Internet	how much did yahoo pay for flickr?		"Yahoo in its quarterly announcement said that it used $54m in cash for acquisitions. Given that they have been selectively buying back stock and adverse to issuing new stock, I assume both transactions would have had a small equity component. The variable is how well TeRespondo is doing and what multiples they had to pay, both of which I have no idea. But a brash assumption could peg Flickr at $20-30m."
5,627	8Family & Relationships	what do u do on a first date?		If you want to do something active, where you're spending time together, but concentrating on a task or event, try: mini-golf, Ice skating, sporting event, shopping, horse-back riding, fishing, canoeing, walking at the beach/park, or an art gallery/musuem, or a piano bar.\n\nIf you want to do something where you're focusing more on eachother, try a coffee shop, going out to dinner, (if you want to keep the evening short, go out later, and just go for dessert). Also you could try a picnic or cooking at home.\n\nIf you want to do something where you're not focusing that much on eachother, try something in a group of friends, or go to the movies, or a concert.
5,628	1Science & Mathematics	theory of everything?		The theory of everything is the Holy Grail of physics, which would be a scientifically verifiable and verified theory to reconcile the contradictions between relativity and quantum mechanics. Currently, QM is used for the very small (particle physics) and relativity is used for the very large (astronomy and cosmology), but somewhere in between they become inconsistent.

This can be done with the assistance of a registered nutrionist. Your healthcare provider can set you up with one.
5,636	1Science & Mathematics	Why do animals reflect different eye colors in the headlights?	Why do humans show red (i.e. "red eye" from camera flash), and other animals have red, green, orange colors. Is the color always the same for each animal type (i.e. dogs are always one color, cats always another color), or does it vary within a species?	A rarely good question asked in this section. The color reflected depends on the texture and size of particles in the back surface of the eyes of an animal. Some night vision animals have a better reflecting surface to point any light not captured by the retina back to its light-sensing cells. So light intensity varies, as well as color. The color is not always the same for a certain species in the sense that the color you perceive depends on the angle at which you look at their eyes (you might be able to see the whole spectrum of visible light in some cases).
5,637	0Society & Culture	Dinosaurs and the Bible.?	There's been a number of questions about the two, and the answers are almost comically different from each other. It would be nice to either believe in God or don't, but the arguments put forth in support of the Bible actually make it easier not to. Then of course blame it on the Devil and all that. The Bible was very difficult to translate at in the 1500's when the King James version was written, and stories were picked by very mortal people who also left much out of it. It is very male oriented and was even written in a style that was not typical of the time but made purposely with an air of authority. To take it literally, then argue with other people about what it actually means really means that the bible should be re-written to fit our times before it loses all ability for people to believe in it. In other words we have learned too much to accept everything in a book that was written in much simpler times. Trying to scare people into believing is beginning to fail.	It's just a book. Written by man... changed and manipulated over the centuries... Rewrite, hell, that's what the govt is trying to do, and succeeding quite well...
5,638	6Business & Finance	What is the most popular web site (not search engine/portals)?		well if you really want to know. go to alexa.com. it is an industry standard site that measures sites based on unique visitors. and as an answer to your question, the most popular site which is not search engine or a portal is - ebay.com. you can see it here\nhttp://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_sites?ts_mode=lang&lang=en
5,639	9Politics & Government	are higher taxes just another sign the government doesnt know how to control their spending?		Yes.\nThe founding fathers created a system of limited Government to protect our rights. Until the beginning of the 20th century, an income tax was unheard of. In fact, it required the an ammendment to the constitution to make it legal. \nWhen you now consider that you're taxes go to pay for someone else's Viagra, you have to consider that maybe we need to re-visit the constitution and the original intent of the founders!
5,640	5Sports	Can I run a triathlon (ironman) and have friends participate in the marathon part only? Which one is recc'd?	So for example:\n\nBill runs a triathlon. He does a 2.4 mile swim.

5,641	3Education & Reference	why do we have half days of school and not have it off?		Schools get a budget every year. If they don't use up all the money, then they get less the next year.

Also depending on your laptop it might have some kind of third party volume control program installed.
5,650	6Business & Finance	What's the effect of being in the bouncing check watchlist in the Philippines?	I have an existing negative balance at a bank where I used to have a current account. This negative balance is due to the charges of the checks I issued that bounced. All these checks are taken care of, and basically, there was a misunderstanding between me and the bank that brought about the charges. I don't want to pay it as I argued with them, that the reason why the checks bounced was due to their negligence, the details of which I no longer want to elaborate on. They advised me to settle the negative charge, or else they would submit my name to some authority and I would be included in the watchlist of issuers of bouncing checks. I would appreciate any answer from a bank personnel. Thanks.	Most banks and major retail stores use ChexSystems. It keeps a history of your bad checking habbits and could cause problems for you in the future if you don't pay those hot checks and related bank fees. Your bank could report you to ChexSystems as being overdrawn and having outstanding bounced checks. That information will be shared with other banks later on if you attempt to open a new checking account in the future, which could result in your being denied a checking account. Also, if you write a check at any major retail store like Walmart they run your check through ChexSystems. If you are listed at ChexSystems then Walmart can deny your check on the spot, even if you have money in your new checking account to cover the check for your current purchase. This seems unfair, especially since you could have money in your new checking account and the retail store refuses your check because you had other checking problems. One way to get around this would be to use a debit card at places like Walmart that use ChexSystems. Because debit cards immediately take the money electronically out of your bank they are never run through ChexSystems.

5,654	7Entertainment & Music	What prime-time drama got special permission for Mark Harmon to use the S-word, in 1999?		The network doesn't appear to have gotten any special permission.

5,656	1Science & Mathematics	what is a pratical way to show my kids the size of the universe?		when i was a kid i had a great book, called "powers of ten". it was one of those time-life books or something and it mainly consisted of a series of photographs or illustrations, where each page was zoomed in by a factor of 10 from the page before it. in the middle was a picture of a man sleeping in some grass in a park in chicago, and if you went forward you zoomed down all the way in to his protons and quarks, and if you went backwards you zoomed all the way out to the mass of galaxies.\n\nit really is an excellent book for kids, and a great thing to just stare at and wonder. see the link on amazon below.

5,659	5Sports	Should the Sacramento Kings trade Peja for a couple of Semi-Star players to help the team?

If your a bulls fan like me you would love to see him in chicago to add to a team who needs a star. So yes i would trade and restart the team

5,663	6Business & Finance	Ho do I tell my 11 year that there is no Santa Claus?	I am a single parent raising an 11 year old completely alone. I have managed to purchase and wrap gifts in the past years but this year was unable to do much at all. \n\nHe says that he believes that Santa could bring us a new car and a nicer place to live and wonders why Santa doesn't help everyone all over the world. \n\nShould I wait to tell him after Christmas?	I think you should wait, and after Christmas, and sadly enough you are going to have to tell him face to face. If you don't have the guts to take it, you can just "accidentally" take him to a site talking about it. But telling him would be the best idea.
5,664	4Computers & Internet	How do I access my computer remotely?		VNC, PC Anywhere, MS Remote Desktop and http://www.GoToMyPC.com. \n\nIf you only need to make your files available outside your home PC, you may want to look at a solution like http://www.xdrive.com. It looks like a hard drive to your PC, but will save your files out to a "personal" drive on the Internet. It's considerably safer than remote access/control solutions since it does not require exposing your PC to remote control.\n\nRemote access solutions pose additional security concerns, especially when accessing your PC over the Internet. Since using remote access/control software requires you to open incoming ports on your router (and increasing risk of intrusion), if you absolutely need remote access/control I'd recommend looking into purchasing a VPN router and using an encrypted VPN client for a higher level of security.

If you or someone you know has been harmed in any way and been exposed to elder abuse, you need to report it right away. Our country has very strict laws against this, and there are plenty of agencies that are out there that can help you or your loved one if they are being abused. \n\nAbuse typically occurs within families, not facilities :( It is very sad, but true...People get stressed out, tired, and frustrated when they try to take on the responsibility of caring for an elderly family member. And abuse will often result if they can't cope with the stress...
5,671	6Business & Finance	How much does a person usually spend on marijuana?	Out of curiosity, how much does a person usually spend on buying marijuana? And what form of measurement do they use?	Prices of marijuana will vary widely depending on the location and the type that you are purchasing. Near the border of Mexico where cheap pot is plentiful, you will find it very cheap. In other areas, its going to be more expensive. The quanity you buy will also affect the price, getting discounts for volume. In general your average user will probably purchase from 1/4 oz to a full oz, which is also the top end for most state laws on a "personal amount" to be differentiated from a much higher crime of "distributible amount". Again, depending on the location and type, you can find marijuana costing anywhere from $20-$80 per 1/4 oz. A full oz will run anywhere from $60-$150 or so.

5,687	5Sports	DE STEFANO ...symbol of great Real Madrid of the 50s ..who's he ?		Alfredo Di Stéfano (born July 4, 1926, at Barrancas, Argentina), is an Argentine-born former footballer who played international football for Argentina, Colombia, and, most famously, Spain. Di Stéfano was a powerful forward with endless stamina and great tactical versatility, able to switch positions with ease, although he nominally played as an attacking forward. Di Stéfano is considered by many to be one of the greatest players of all time. Today, he is honorary president of Real Madrid.\n\nBorn to a family of Italian immigrants, Di Stéfano's career started with River Plate in Argentina, in 1943. He won six league titles in the first 12 years of his career in Argentina and Colombia (playing for the Millonarios in Bogota) before moving to Spain.\n\nDi Stefano was involved in a protracted dispute between Real Madrid and Barcelona in order to determine who would be able to count on his services. Many Barcelona fans maintain that Franco's government influenced the move, but others contest that this is an excuse used to justify the success he later attained with Real Madrid (and not with Barcelona). What is fact is that DiStefano was first 'discovered' in Spain while playing for Millonarios de Bogota in a friendly tournament to celebrate Real Madrid's 50th anniversary. Real Madrid and Barcelona began negotiating, Real Madrid with his current club, Millonarios, and Barcelona with his previous club, River Plate. Under FIFA regulations the league in Colombia was 'renegade' and Barcelona thought they had secured the transfer by negotiating with River, although the player had no desire to honor this contract which in his mind had expired years ago. In the end the Spanish government stepped in with a Salomonic solution which Barcelona did not agree to, and forfeited their rights, allowing Real Madrid to sign the player. He went on to revolutionize Real Madrid and lead them through their most succesful period, winning numerous Spanish League and Cup titles as well as five consecutive European Cups.\n\nAfter retirement, he moved into coaching. With Di Stéfano as coach, Valencia won the Spanish Cup in 1979, but he led Real Madrid to second place in five tournaments in 1983, losing the league title on the last day and being defeated in four cup finals!\n\nDi Stéfano is currently the 3rd highest scorer in the history of Spain's top division, with 228 goals in 329 games, behind Hugo Sánchez (234 goals) and Telmo Zarra (251). Di Stéfano is also Real Madrid's highest league goalscorer of all time, with 216 goals in 282 league matches between 1953 and 1964.\n\nDi Stéfano was named by Pelé as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers in March 2004.\n\nOn Christmas Eve 2005, Di Stefano suffered a heart attack at the age of 79.

Their way of worship is modeled after that of the established first century Christian congregation. Their teachings, beliefs, practices, etc...are based entirely on the scriptures. They recognize the important of using God's personal name, Jehovah, in worship today and yearly spend over ONE BILLION hours in their global Bible educational work. \n\nThey currently number over 6.5 million active members worldwide and are active in preaching in over 235 lands. They do NOT teach or believe in unscriptural doctrines of man such as the trinity, hellfire, the immortality of the soul, and so forth. \n\nJehovah's Witnesses recognize that Jehovah God alone is the Universal Sovereign and Almighty God. They recognize that Jesus Christ is the first of God's creations, and the second-most powerful being in the universe next to God himself. They recognize from the scriptures that the holy spirit is not a being in itself, but God's active force, or his means of accomplishing his will. \n\nThey recognize from the scriptures that God's original purpose for humanity was to enjoy eternal life here on earth in perfection and in a paradise setting. They know that God's purpose has not changed and that in the very near future, God will be intervening in mankind's affairs to the point of destroying all earthly governments and using his Kingdom (currently presided over by his Son, Jesus) to usher in the world that humans were meant to have. \n\nJehovah's Witnesses, again, are NOT a cult, they do not brainwash its members, they simply explain Bible teachings to people in a way that is easy to understand and will help them to appreciate that living by Jehovah God's standards as set forth in the Bible is the only way to have a truly happy and successful life.

5,695	5Sports	Who would you rather have on your fantasy team?	In a fantasy baseball keeper league would you rather have Derek Lee or Jake Peavy? Why?	First, are you in a rotisserie or a head-to-head league? I think pitchers are more important in a rotisserie league versus a head-to-head because they only (starter's that is) only pitch at most twice a week. In a rotisserie league, the stats accumulate where as in a head-to-head, the stats reset after one week. If you're in a head-to-head, I would go with Lee.\n\nI had Peavy on all of my Rotisserie leagues, and he helped me to dominate. Granted, he did help in the head-to-head, but typically, I would try and drop pitchers and scour the free agents for daily replacements.\n\nPitchers are very important to success in Fantasy. Jake Peavy is one of the best pitchers in MLB and he plays in a pitcher's park. While Derek Lee had a phenomenal year last year, over the long term, I don't see him producing at the same level.\n\nPeavy, on the other hand, is going to have a lot of strikeouts, a good era, whip, and will probably rack up the wins. I don't see Lee leading the league in Average, Home runs, Stolen bases, runs or RBI.\n\nIn sum, keep Peavy if you're in a Rotisserie or need a stud for Head-to-head, but use Lee if you need the numbers for a Head-tohead matchup.

5,699	1Science & Mathematics	Is it possible to warp/bend "empty" space?		yes, space-time gets warped/bent with mass. This has been used to try and explain gravity somewhat, but with objects like planets, it doesn't happen that much. The 'strings' from string theory and black holes bend space-time considerably. black holes are basically singularities the size of a baseball that are as heavy as a planet or star... that's how dense they are. It's basically so dense that it's just protons and neutrons smashed together, and considering that most of atoms are usually empty space, this is very very tightly packed, which is why there's so much gravity and the escape velocity to get out of a black hole is so great that even light isn't fast enough to get out. Cosmic strings (the ones froms string theory) are also this dense and they are also said to bend space-time around themselves. If you're interested in this, I would read "The Elegent Universe" by Brian Greene. It will explain it a lot better than I can here.

How do the vocal cords generate sound?

The vocal cords are two bands or folds of mucuous covered, elastic muscle tissue. They are located side by side in the voice box (LARNNX) When we are silent, the cords remain open. This is the airway throught which we breathe. \nSound is created when air fro the lungs is pushed throught the closed vocal cords causing them to vibrate - faster for higer sounds and slower for lower pitched sounds.\n\nThe sound quality of the voice is the result of the vocal cords opening and closing smoothly. If air manages to pass throught your vocal cords when it's not supposed to, the voice will sound raspy, hoarse, lower or higher than usual. \nThere are several reasons why a person can lose their voice. The vocal cords are subject to infections (laryngitis), Irritations (repetive strain or use of unhealthy substances like tabacco and alcohol), trauma (a blow to the larynx) and tumours (nodules, polps and ulcers).

why is the old testament important to christians?

importance when it is being read as a whole, comparison to the new testament, and understanding it for new christians

All Scripture is important to believers. The OT was the written Word of God. The NT is about the living Word of God. Jesus is both of them. In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God & the Word was God... And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.\n\nJesus is the Author of the OT; in the NT Jesus is Incarnate. Jesus is God; God is unchanging. Scripture doesn't change. The NT is the same as the OT (with more revelation).\n\nJesus could explain the OT Scriptures so well because He is the Author. He didn't change & He didn't change Scripture - He prophesied it; He clarified it; He personified it!\n\nTHERE ARE UNINSPSIRED PAGES IN YOUR BIBLE - tear out the *title pages* for "OT" & for "NT" ...you will understand Scripture more completely when your Bible (& your mind) is unified that way.

what should I do?

I feel like all of my prayers are'nt getting through to God, I've backslide alot lately and I'm scared that God dosent accept me any more. It seems like every thing I do is wrong, and conviction jumps on me and makes me feel so down. I feel like I'm a million miles away from God. And all day long I'm constanty thinking what I can do to please God. Can any one figure out what is wrong with me and my walk with Christ? I just long for more of God to be in my life, and i cannot stop thinking about Him, He's on my mind all day long.

We are called to rejoice and be glad (Matt 5:11-12). But we are also warned to be sober-minded (Rom 12:3). One of the most fearful verses I know that keeps me most sober is Matthew 7:21-23: \n 21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’\n\nYou cannot DO anything to please God. He is pleased with perfection. Jesus is perfection, and died for your sins in your place. Do good because he loves you, not to pay your way back "in". Grace is a gift not deserved. See Romans 7: 14-20.\nLove the Lord your God with Everything-\nTrust in Him. The life of the Christian is not easy, it may in fact be hard, for some it has cost their lives, but the rewards for trust and obediance will be phenominal.

Would China ever really invade Taiwan and if they did would the U.S military intervene?

If this conflict did occur would it be a conventional or a nuclear war and who would win if it was a conventional war. I know the U.S would almost certainly win (China is not capable of launching nuclear icbm's that can reach the east coast.) in a nuclear war although there would be horrific destruction on both sides making it arguable that theer are no true winners in a nuclear conflict.

It has been talked about so if diplomatic talks dont work yes. America would be involved diplomatically, but not by sending ground troops to the area. Its all about the time line, currently the military is downsizing, but at the same time fighting two wars (IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN) To take on a power like China (pop. 1.4 billion, military is 5 times the size of USA) we would need some major backing. Not likely, in fact America is probably very afriad to go to war with such a power as China, they have Nukes.

does chronic sinusitis cause dizziness?

Not generally, no. However if the infection should get to your ears, which wouldn't be uncommon, it can affect the vestibular system, thus making you dizzy. Generally speaking, if you are having dizziness, you should see your doctor to get some antibiotics (if not taking them already) as an inner ear infection can do bad things if left unchecked. One should also consider the possibility that something else could be causing the dizziness at the brainstem...which would be really bad! Either case, see your Dr.

how much did yahoo pay for flickr?

"Yahoo in its quarterly announcement said that it used $54m in cash for acquisitions. Given that they have been selectively buying back stock and adverse to issuing new stock, I assume both transactions would have had a small equity component. The variable is how well TeRespondo is doing and what multiples they had to pay, both of which I have no idea. But a brash assumption could peg Flickr at $20-30m."

theory of everything?

The theory of everything is the Holy Grail of physics, which would be a scientifically verifiable and verified theory to reconcile the contradictions between relativity and quantum mechanics. Currently, QM is used for the very small (particle physics) and relativity is used for the very large (astronomy and cosmology), but somewhere in between they become inconsistent.

Why do animals reflect different eye colors in the headlights?

Why do humans show red (i.e. "red eye" from camera flash), and other animals have red, green, orange colors. Is the color always the same for each animal type (i.e. dogs are always one color, cats always another color), or does it vary within a species?

A rarely good question asked in this section. The color reflected depends on the texture and size of particles in the back surface of the eyes of an animal. Some night vision animals have a better reflecting surface to point any light not captured by the retina back to its light-sensing cells. So light intensity varies, as well as color. The color is not always the same for a certain species in the sense that the color you perceive depends on the angle at which you look at their eyes (you might be able to see the whole spectrum of visible light in some cases).

Dinosaurs and the Bible.?

There's been a number of questions about the two, and the answers are almost comically different from each other. It would be nice to either believe in God or don't, but the arguments put forth in support of the Bible actually make it easier not to. Then of course blame it on the Devil and all that. The Bible was very difficult to translate at in the 1500's when the King James version was written, and stories were picked by very mortal people who also left much out of it. It is very male oriented and was even written in a style that was not typical of the time but made purposely with an air of authority. To take it literally, then argue with other people about what it actually means really means that the bible should be re-written to fit our times before it loses all ability for people to believe in it. In other words we have learned too much to accept everything in a book that was written in much simpler times. Trying to scare people into believing is beginning to fail.

It's just a book. Written by man... changed and manipulated over the centuries... Rewrite, hell, that's what the govt is trying to do, and succeeding quite well...

What's the effect of being in the bouncing check watchlist in the Philippines?

I have an existing negative balance at a bank where I used to have a current account. This negative balance is due to the charges of the checks I issued that bounced. All these checks are taken care of, and basically, there was a misunderstanding between me and the bank that brought about the charges. I don't want to pay it as I argued with them, that the reason why the checks bounced was due to their negligence, the details of which I no longer want to elaborate on. They advised me to settle the negative charge, or else they would submit my name to some authority and I would be included in the watchlist of issuers of bouncing checks. I would appreciate any answer from a bank personnel. Thanks.

Most banks and major retail stores use ChexSystems. It keeps a history of your bad checking habbits and could cause problems for you in the future if you don't pay those hot checks and related bank fees. Your bank could report you to ChexSystems as being overdrawn and having outstanding bounced checks. That information will be shared with other banks later on if you attempt to open a new checking account in the future, which could result in your being denied a checking account. Also, if you write a check at any major retail store like Walmart they run your check through ChexSystems. If you are listed at ChexSystems then Walmart can deny your check on the spot, even if you have money in your new checking account to cover the check for your current purchase. This seems unfair, especially since you could have money in your new checking account and the retail store refuses your check because you had other checking problems. One way to get around this would be to use a debit card at places like Walmart that use ChexSystems. Because debit cards immediately take the money electronically out of your bank they are never run through ChexSystems.

VNC, PC Anywhere, MS Remote Desktop and http://www.GoToMyPC.com. \n\nIf you only need to make your files available outside your home PC, you may want to look at a solution like http://www.xdrive.com. It looks like a hard drive to your PC, but will save your files out to a "personal" drive on the Internet. It's considerably safer than remote access/control solutions since it does not require exposing your PC to remote control.\n\nRemote access solutions pose additional security concerns, especially when accessing your PC over the Internet. Since using remote access/control software requires you to open incoming ports on your router (and increasing risk of intrusion), if you absolutely need remote access/control I'd recommend looking into purchasing a VPN router and using an encrypted VPN client for a higher level of security.

How much does a person usually spend on marijuana?

Out of curiosity, how much does a person usually spend on buying marijuana? And what form of measurement do they use?

Prices of marijuana will vary widely depending on the location and the type that you are purchasing. Near the border of Mexico where cheap pot is plentiful, you will find it very cheap. In other areas, its going to be more expensive. The quanity you buy will also affect the price, getting discounts for volume. In general your average user will probably purchase from 1/4 oz to a full oz, which is also the top end for most state laws on a "personal amount" to be differentiated from a much higher crime of "distributible amount". Again, depending on the location and type, you can find marijuana costing anywhere from $20-$80 per 1/4 oz. A full oz will run anywhere from $60-$150 or so.

DE STEFANO ...symbol of great Real Madrid of the 50s ..who's he ?

Alfredo Di Stéfano (born July 4, 1926, at Barrancas, Argentina), is an Argentine-born former footballer who played international football for Argentina, Colombia, and, most famously, Spain. Di Stéfano was a powerful forward with endless stamina and great tactical versatility, able to switch positions with ease, although he nominally played as an attacking forward. Di Stéfano is considered by many to be one of the greatest players of all time. Today, he is honorary president of Real Madrid.\n\nBorn to a family of Italian immigrants, Di Stéfano's career started with River Plate in Argentina, in 1943. He won six league titles in the first 12 years of his career in Argentina and Colombia (playing for the Millonarios in Bogota) before moving to Spain.\n\nDi Stefano was involved in a protracted dispute between Real Madrid and Barcelona in order to determine who would be able to count on his services. Many Barcelona fans maintain that Franco's government influenced the move, but others contest that this is an excuse used to justify the success he later attained with Real Madrid (and not with Barcelona). What is fact is that DiStefano was first 'discovered' in Spain while playing for Millonarios de Bogota in a friendly tournament to celebrate Real Madrid's 50th anniversary. Real Madrid and Barcelona began negotiating, Real Madrid with his current club, Millonarios, and Barcelona with his previous club, River Plate. Under FIFA regulations the league in Colombia was 'renegade' and Barcelona thought they had secured the transfer by negotiating with River, although the player had no desire to honor this contract which in his mind had expired years ago. In the end the Spanish government stepped in with a Salomonic solution which Barcelona did not agree to, and forfeited their rights, allowing Real Madrid to sign the player. He went on to revolutionize Real Madrid and lead them through their most succesful period, winning numerous Spanish League and Cup titles as well as five consecutive European Cups.\n\nAfter retirement, he moved into coaching. With Di Stéfano as coach, Valencia won the Spanish Cup in 1979, but he led Real Madrid to second place in five tournaments in 1983, losing the league title on the last day and being defeated in four cup finals!\n\nDi Stéfano is currently the 3rd highest scorer in the history of Spain's top division, with 228 goals in 329 games, behind Hugo Sánchez (234 goals) and Telmo Zarra (251). Di Stéfano is also Real Madrid's highest league goalscorer of all time, with 216 goals in 282 league matches between 1953 and 1964.\n\nDi Stéfano was named by Pelé as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers in March 2004.\n\nOn Christmas Eve 2005, Di Stefano suffered a heart attack at the age of 79.

Jehovah's Witnesses, contrary to what some ignorant individuals will undoubtedly come along and say, are NOT a cult. Their way of worship is modeled after that of the established first century Christian congregation. Their teachings, beliefs, practices, etc...are based entirely on the scriptures. They recognize the important of using God's personal name, Jehovah, in worship today and yearly spend over ONE BILLION hours in their global Bible educational work. \n\nThey currently number over 6.5 million active members worldwide and are active in preaching in over 235 lands. They do NOT teach or believe in unscriptural doctrines of man such as the trinity, hellfire, the immortality of the soul, and so forth. \n\nJehovah's Witnesses recognize that Jehovah God alone is the Universal Sovereign and Almighty God. They recognize that Jesus Christ is the first of God's creations, and the second-most powerful being in the universe next to God himself. They recognize from the scriptures that the holy spirit is not a being in itself, but God's active force, or his means of accomplishing his will. \n\nThey recognize from the scriptures that God's original purpose for humanity was to enjoy eternal life here on earth in perfection and in a paradise setting. They know that God's purpose has not changed and that in the very near future, God will be intervening in mankind's affairs to the point of destroying all earthly governments and using his Kingdom (currently presided over by his Son, Jesus) to usher in the world that humans were meant to have. \n\nJehovah's Witnesses, again, are NOT a cult, they do not brainwash its members, they simply explain Bible teachings to people in a way that is easy to understand and will help them to appreciate that living by Jehovah God's standards as set forth in the Bible is the only way to have a truly happy and successful life.

Who would you rather have on your fantasy team?

In a fantasy baseball keeper league would you rather have Derek Lee or Jake Peavy? Why?

First, are you in a rotisserie or a head-to-head league? I think pitchers are more important in a rotisserie league versus a head-to-head because they only (starter's that is) only pitch at most twice a week. In a rotisserie league, the stats accumulate where as in a head-to-head, the stats reset after one week. If you're in a head-to-head, I would go with Lee.\n\nI had Peavy on all of my Rotisserie leagues, and he helped me to dominate. Granted, he did help in the head-to-head, but typically, I would try and drop pitchers and scour the free agents for daily replacements.\n\nPitchers are very important to success in Fantasy. Jake Peavy is one of the best pitchers in MLB and he plays in a pitcher's park. While Derek Lee had a phenomenal year last year, over the long term, I don't see him producing at the same level.\n\nPeavy, on the other hand, is going to have a lot of strikeouts, a good era, whip, and will probably rack up the wins. I don't see Lee leading the league in Average, Home runs, Stolen bases, runs or RBI.\n\nIn sum, keep Peavy if you're in a Rotisserie or need a stud for Head-to-head, but use Lee if you need the numbers for a Head-tohead matchup.

Japanese horror is all the rage: Ringu, the Grudge, etc. I can't think of anything -I- find scary, but those scare my friends.

Is it possible to warp/bend "empty" space?

yes, space-time gets warped/bent with mass. This has been used to try and explain gravity somewhat, but with objects like planets, it doesn't happen that much. The 'strings' from string theory and black holes bend space-time considerably. black holes are basically singularities the size of a baseball that are as heavy as a planet or star... that's how dense they are. It's basically so dense that it's just protons and neutrons smashed together, and considering that most of atoms are usually empty space, this is very very tightly packed, which is why there's so much gravity and the escape velocity to get out of a black hole is so great that even light isn't fast enough to get out. Cosmic strings (the ones froms string theory) are also this dense and they are also said to bend space-time around themselves. If you're interested in this, I would read "The Elegent Universe" by Brian Greene. It will explain it a lot better than I can here.
