6,600	2Health	How can I do to remember a lot of information, I mean to improve memory?	I'm 30 years, healthy, but with concentration problems	Concentration issues stem from numerous things. Too much caffeine, being ADD, or vitamin deficiencies can all cause you to not perform at your best.\n\nI recommend taking at the very least, one multivitamin a day to start. Also, regular exercise has proven to increase bloodflow to the brain which, in turn, increases memory retention. Finally there are a number of activities which help as well, I'll list a few here:\n\n- Crossword puzzles are very good for maintaining mental health.\n- Mental association exercises. You will need to get a book or do further research on this one. But there are mental tricks you can use to remember names, lists of objects, and so on. For instance, I use a name association to remember people's names. I think of some outstanding feature of a person when I meet them and integrate it (mentally) with their name. That and I repeat the name a few times in conversation. That is just one item though.\n- There are also a new breed of drugs hitting the market. Do a search for "smart drugs" or nootropics. This is a strange area but some people swear by the stuff and I wouldn't be surprised if it really booms in the next few years.
6,601	9Politics & Government	I need help with a contract dispute with a former employer. How do lawyers get paid for helping me?	I am a Nurse Practitioner and in my previous employment I was to receive a percentage of money generated while I was employed there. After I left, my previous employer refuses to pay me the percentage I am due. If I seek legal help, how does the lawyer make money? Do I pay directly to him/her or does the money come from the amount I would receive from my previous employer?\n\nThanks for any help	It would depend on the legal theories asserted and the relative risk involved in the matter. Some state laws allow for the recovery of attorneys fees when an employee's wages are improperly withheld. Where attorneys fees are available under a statute, usually the attorney will work on a contingency basis (being paid a percentage of the recovery once the matter is settled or resolved).\n\nIf no attorneys' fees provision exists, usually the attorney would work on an hourly basis.\n\nI recommend you contact a local bar association to obtain a referral to several attorneys that can assist you.

6,604	4Computers & Internet	How can i burn Yahoo messenger ( not just set up) onto a cd??	I wanna know how can i install the same thing( yahoo)on a diff computer without setting it up? Hlp	First download the program like at it would normally be downloaded. Usually it needs to be opened with a zip or soemthing. Before opening it with a zip, just write it to the disk like you normally would. Then the computer you transfer it to will appear like a file, you will have to unzip it then.

6,606	1Science & Mathematics	what is the origin of quantum?	We have Quantum Mechanics. But, it is unclear to me as to what is the origin/source of quantum?	The word quantum? It comes from the latin quantus, meaning "how great".\nPhysicists started using it to refer to a discrete amount of something, specifically the smallest amount that can exist. Since quantum mechanics deals with the behavior of atoms, once thought to be the smallest particles, and still covers the even smaller parts of atoms, the name is appropriate.

6,608	1Science & Mathematics	Is it safe to be online during a storm if you have a surge protector?	Or will a lightningstrike fry your computer anyway? What about a cordless phone? Is it safe to talk on one during a storms since the handset is not attached to the base or the line?	I would recommend not. Two years ago, my Sony Vaio's telephone modem suddenly stopped working during a lightning storm. The lights hadn't dimmed or anything, so I thought it was just a glitch. The technician said that just because the power supply was protected by a surge protector, the phone line (which was not plugged into a surge protector) experienced a surge when a telephone box blew a few blocks away (it was a bad storm, but I just had to check my email). The surge wouldn't have hurt someone on a normal phone, but was just enough to disrupt my delicate computer. So unless its urgent, or you can work off the power grid (like a laptop), I'd just leave the computer turned off in a storm.

6,610	5Sports	What's the best football roster move you made this year? The worst?	My best was picking Carson Palmer off waivers. The worst, I cut Mike Anderson early in the season... Doh!	My best move was picking up Larry Johnson in week 8, my worst was drafting Jerome Bettis (after last season I figured he would be the workhorse again)
6,611	4Computers & Internet	I dont know if this went through or not, but could someone please tell me what this is. WNT*SETSYSTEMS SW SAL	I did look it up on the internet, but I could not find anything. It was charged to my account.	Call your credit card company. They can look up the charge, they can tell you the name of the merchant, and they should be able to provide a phone number so you can call the merchant and find out who it is.\n\nIf you determine that the charge is not legit, then tell your credit card company that you want to dispute the charge and that it might be a fraudulent charge. (You should investigate first...make sure it isn't from a company that you or your spouse purchase from)\n\nI've had charges show up like that and the credit card company has always helped me take care of it.

6,616	4Computers & Internet	Why Are Some People So Obsessed With Firefox?	It will end up dying as it gets bought up by Google or MSN.\nDoes it really have any advantages?\nIs it Faster than anything else?	I personally started using Firefox just because it was the talk of the town & I have found it very nice. Its tab feature is good (although a bit overrated), but, putting that aside, it deals with the security problems very efficiently . When I was using IE as my web browser, I was so annoyed by frequent security threats & certain pop ups opening as new windows inspite of my Y! toolbars, but Firefox has made life so easier, it blocks every kind of annoying pop ups.\nNowadays whenever I try to use IE for a change, I am so annoyed by the pop ups & maximizing & minimizing browsers.\nSo I guess I am going to stick with Firefox no matter what.\nBut at the same time I think that this kind of tough competition will force microsoft to improve the security features of IE & in near future, you will be seeing a new & improved Internet Explorer which will force Firefox to die.....
6,617	7Entertainment & Music	Will there still be loads of Pink Floyd fans in 20 years?	I love Pink Floyd, and there are lots of fans at my high school. However, do you think will there still be so many fans in 20 years, being that Pink Floyd is already before the time of today's youth?	Absolutely - great music is great music forever. We still listen to Mozart don't we?

6,619	1Science & Mathematics	why does airplane fuel feel cold?		If airplane fuel is kept in a plastic or metal container long enough its temperature will settle at room temperature and the container will feel just as cool as an empty container. However all the small light molecules of fuel will vibrate and hit and bounce off each other at a rate and strength characteristic of room temperature. This is known as heat energy. More heat yields more vibration and less heat, less vibration.\n\nHowever if you spill some fuel on your hands, the molecules of fuel will now hit and bounce off of the much larger and possibly warmer molecules of your skin. That is like a baseball bat (your molecules)hitting a baseball (fuel molecules) out of the park where the bat and ball travel at the same speed while in contact but the ball flies off across the field - which is equivalent to evaporation. The ball carries away with it energy that it did not possess until hit; and therefore leaves less energy behind. The reduction of heat energy due to evaporation cools your hand and the remaining fuel which both feel cooler.
6,620	1Science & Mathematics	What are the problems in having foreign genes in plants?		Foreign genes are inserted in plants for many reasons\n\nsome genes are toxic to insects that destroy crops and increase the yield of crops and therefore farmers incomes.\n\nsome genes are inserted into plants to make them resistant to herbicides, Monsanto does this with its' "roundup ready" soybeans. The whole crop can than be sprayed with the herbicide or weedkiller "roundup" and only the commercially valuable soybean crop will grow.\n\nother genes are inserted into plants to make them more nutritionally beneficial. "Golden" rice has the genes for making beta-carotene inserted into it so that poor people around the world can get their B vitamin supply from rice crops.\n\nThere have been no ill-effects shown in humans who have eaten genetically engineered plants. The idea of calling biotech crops "Franken-food" is a luddite or anti-progress one. Over 80% of the world's soybeans are genetically modified and there seems to have been no effect at all on people who eat soybean products.

6,624	8Family & Relationships	should i "do it"?	im goin out with this guy and well im really into him and he says he is in to me too,that he loves me alot and everything,and for some reason the topic we were talkin about was about sex...and well i do want to try to do it with him and he tells me he wants too but he also tells me if im afraid we just dont do it and is okay with him.So my question is should i do it with this guy?..and well im still kinda of young for this...but i really love this guy.	The only person you should ever "do it" with is someone who loves you enough to wait and who loves you enough to spend the rest of his life with you. Any thing else is cheapening the gift that you will want to save for that special someone. I waited for 33 years. I'm sure your bf will not die. But don't let his sugary words cause you to give away something so precious so easily.
6,625	2Health	Menopause questions???	1.What is it?\n2.What age does it come for most women?\n3.What are the sysmptoms?\n4. Do most women really have the urge to kill when they are going through it?\n5. Can woman who've gone through menopause still have sex, or is their sexuality over?	Menopause is the medical term for the end of a woman's menstrual periods. This usually happens between the ages of 45 and 60, but it can happen earlier. Menopause can also occur when the ovaries are surgically removed or stop functioning for any other reason. About 75% of women report some troublesome symptoms during menopause, but the severity and frequency of symptoms varies from woman to woman. The most common symptoms are hot flashes and vaginal atrophy (this is, the tissue of the vagina becomes thinner, drier, and more delicate, and begins to shrink). As for question #4 not at all. Depression may be more likely in the years right before menopause. However, it is unclear whether depression is linked to low levels of estrogen or to the many changes women face during their 40s and 50s (such as career or marriage pressures, or care of children or aging parents).\nMany women say that their sexual desire lessens during the time of menopause. In many cases, the cause is physical. For instance, because lower estrogen levels sometimes cause physical changes in a woman's sexual organs, having sex may become uncomfortable or painful so it is important to find out whether there is a physical cause for lack of desire. For some women, taking hormones called androgens can help restore sexual desire.\nSome women find that sexual desire changes because of how they feel about themselves during menopause. Counseling and support groups can help women learn strategies for coping with the physical and emotional changes that occur during menopause.\nIntercourse may be painful when there is not enough moisture in the vagina or when the tissue lining the vagina becomes fragile because of lower estrogen levels in the body. Several methods are available to relieve pain during intercourse. It may sound surprising, but frequent sexual activity is one of the most effective remedies for vaginal dryness. Other remedies include taking a warm bath before intercourse or using lubricants. Short-acting, water-based lubricants, such as K-Y Jelly, supply moisture and are used immediately before intercourse. These products are readily available in grocery stores and pharmacies, usually at a low cost. Long-acting vaginal moisturizers are also available, and can provide extended relief. Vaginal creams containing estrogen are very helpful in relieving the symptoms of menopause, including vaginal dryness.

6,629	4Computers & Internet	what is cdma?		Code division multiple access (CDMA) is (not a modulation scheme, but a form of multiplexing) a method of multiple access that does not divide up the channel by time (as in TDMA), or frequency (as in FDMA), but instead encodes data with a certain code associated with a channel and uses the constructive interference properties of the signal medium to perform the multiplexing. CDMA also refers to digital cellular telephony systems that makes use of this multiple access scheme, such as those pioneered by Qualcomm, or W-CDMA.
6,630	8Family & Relationships	How did the honeymoon evolve?		Today, the tradition of a honeymoon following nuptials has, long way from its original meaning. Today's "happy ending" to the wedding event is a far cry from its much different beginnings. The word honeymoon has its roots in the Norse word "hjunottsmanathr" which was anything but blissful. Northern European history describes the abduction of a bride from neighboring village. It was imperative, that the abductor, the husband to be, take his bride to be into hiding for period of time. His friends assured his and her safe keeping and kept their whereabouts unknown. Once the bride's family gave up their search, the bride groom returned to his people. This folkloric explanation presumably is the origin of today's honeymoon, for its original meaning meant hiding. \n\nThe Scandinavian word for honeymoon is derived, in part, from an ancient Northern European custom in which newlyweds, for the first month of their married life, drank a daily cup of honeyed wine called mead. The ancient practices of kidnaping of bride and drinking the honeyed wine date back to the history of Atilla, king of the Asiatic Huns from A.D. 433 to A.D. 453. \n\nSo that leaves us with the question of where the "moon" in the word "honeymoon" originates. One piece of folklore relates that the origin of the word moon comes from a cynical inference. To the Northern Europeans the terms referred to the body's monthly cycle and, its combination with honey, suggested that not all moon's of married life were as sweet as the first. British prose writers and poets, in the 16th and 17th centuries, often made use of the Nordic interpretation of honeymoon as a waxing and waning of marital affection.
6,631	9Politics & Government	if god was walking the earth today would he be classified liberal or consevative?	i would think liberal	This would very much depend on which god you are talking about. Overall i think the Judao-christian-islamic god would be classified as a Liberal. Throughout those texts there is much discussion of taking care of the poor, taking care of children, and taking care of the elderly. I think that god would advocate for social programs to help those groups, something that conservatives in American tend to not support.\n\nAlso the things like preemtive war, and staring a war would most likly not be supported by this god. Although war in general is more debatable. Once agian a more Liberal view.\n\nTax policy from this god would be very debatable. I would focuse of the fact that all 3 of these religions do have stories about "reaping what you sow", so i would take this to mean that this god would want heavy investment today, for a better tomorrow, and would definatly be aginst borrowing money to do this. So i would suspect that would mean higher taxes, once agian a more liberal stance.\n\nSocial issues such as homosexuality, abortion, pre-marital sex, ect... Those are all very debatable, but I think god would have a more conservative view on those things, but agian this would be debatable.\n\nIn the eastern religions God is such a diffrent concept that i am not sure we could really answer this, but if i had to answer i think i would say that god would be more liberal.
6,632	2Health	what is "cherubism"?		Cherubism: A genetic disorder of childhood that leads to prominence of the lower face and an appearance reminiscent of the cherubs portrayed in Renaissance art.\n\nCherubism is due to a problem in bone formation that is largely limited to the upper and lower jaws (the maxilla and mandible) with loss of bone in the jaws and its replacement by excessive amounts of fibrous tissue. These abnormalities often resolve after puberty.\n\nCherubism is inherited as an autosomal dominant condition. Most boys and girls with it have a parent who had cherubism, while the few children with cherubism without a family history are thought to have a new mutation (a newly arisen gene) for cherubism but can transmit it to their children.\n\nThe gene for cherubism is on chromosome 4. It is specifically in chromosome band 4p16.3 and is called SH3BP2 (for SH3-domain binding protein 2). Exactly how a mutation in SH3BP2 leads to cherubism is not yet known.

What is the difference between Uncle Sam search and the regular Google Search?	nothing really, it simply makes a patriotic interface for you to bookmark, it doesnt change any of the search abilities of google's search engine.. \n\njust as http://www.google.com/linux gives you a linux enthusist interface you can bookmark or use for your homepage. \n\nI hope I answered your question.
6,635	6Business & Finance	what's stock?		In financial terminology, stock is the capital raised by a corporation, through the issuance and sale of shares.

6,640	4Computers & Internet	Spy Sweeper?	I have Spy Sweeper as my primary Adware and pop-up defense. About a week ago I began getting messages that the latest version has come out & I should replace the original version with this newer version - but I was too busy at the time. But now I have just done it - and crashed immediately! I once had trouble with a WINZIP pop-up which posed as the familiar WINZIP product, and I am now beginning to wonder if I have just taken in a "Trojan horse" and in the process have eliminated my REAL anti-spyware. I had some slight problem with the original Spy Sweeper, and when I went to the Home page, I couldn't find any "Contact Us" button. Can anyone advise as to what is happening?	I wouldn't pay for Spy Sweeper, I assume you do have to pay for it and there is also no such thing as a primary Adware defense. I use four programs, all of them are free and you'll never have to pay for the upgraded versions because in most cases you won't need them.\n\nMaybe you have some of these already but I would uninstall Spy Sweeper as soon as you can and get all of these if you don't have them:\n\nAdaware SE Personal, http://www.lavasoft.com/\nSpybot S&D, http://www.safer-networking.com/\nMS AntiSpyware Beta (it's active protection is second to none), http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\nSpywareBlaster (another layer of active protection), http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/\n\nAfter you have those run the scanners, except for SpywareBlaster, it is just an active protection agent and see if there is anything on your system. I also assume you have an Anti-Virus application, if not download and install AVG Free Edition, http://free.grisoft.com/ and see if there is anything on your system.\n\nI also like the addition of a software firewall, Kerio Personal, http://www.snapfiles.com/get/keriofirewall.html but when possible get behind any router for the protection of a hardware firewall.

6,642	4Computers & Internet	What's the most cheapest Laptop I could Buy..No more that $800.00??		It depends on what you are looking for but I would get one with at least 512MB of memory. In that category there is the Acer Aspire with an AMD Sempron 3000+ processor, 512MB of memory, 60GB hard drive, a 15.4" WXGA display (1280 x 800 resolution), a CD-RW/DVD-Rom drive, you aren't going to find a DVD burner in this price range and of course, 802.11b/g wireless for $700 (after a $100 rebate).\n\nThat would be my pick but if you think you can get by with 256MB of memory then you can go as cheap as $549 but I don't like that laptop because it has a 15.0" display. The next one up has a 15.4" display but still only has 256MB of memory. The first link will take you to the Acer and the second one will take you to the whole list. My preference is the Acer but that's just me.\n\nI wouldn't buy a laptop from Dell, I'm not very fond of them. I like Acer, HP and Toshiba.
6,643	8Family & Relationships	Is it bad if I think about sex all day long?	I don't know why but I just can't help it. I like to watch sexy and hot things (men, muscular physiques, brawny builds). And it is far too easy to turn me on. My penis erects even if I just close my eyes for a few second and think about something that turn me on.\n\nDoes this affect relationships? How can I help it? Or, actually is it weird nowadays to think about sex all the time?	If you are a male around the ages of 13-60 (sexual peak time though is about 18-30) or a woman 12-120 (sexual peak time is about 18-60) it is VERY normal to think of sex all time..in fact, if you didn't, that would be a problem. So relax, enjoy..and by all means..bring yourself to climax often..it keeps the whole reproductive system healthy (this goes for women too). Sex drive is related to the amount of testosterone in the body. The more a person has (male or female, and we all have some) the higher the sex drive. Some have more than others. Good luck
6,644	2Health	how do you stop vomiting and settle the stomach?		Use this old Navy cure to stop the dry heaves,\n\nShake a Coke until it's flat and start sipping. Must be Coke, not Pepsi. Something about the syrup in Coke does the trick.

6,646	4Computers & Internet	Why do they make wireless adapters that share the same frequency as microwaves?	When I am on my wireless connection at home, it is interrupted every time someone uses the microwave. What possible motivation could a company have for creating an adapter that does this???	Well at the moment the frequency that microwaves use (2.4GHz) is the best one for wireless. But in about a year (or two) wireless will be using better frequencies that don't interfere with phones. For now you can get 802.11a routers and cards which work on a lower frequency. The one drawback of those is that they interfere with older phones and the speed is slower.
6,647	4Computers & Internet	How can I view a webpage of a website if it cant be displayed?	I tried the cache option but I dont know how to view a certain webpage that I want to view.

6,648	1Science & Mathematics	can alcohol be detected in the blood for more than 2 weeks?	For someone who is under DUI supervision, and is reguired to take blood test every 5 weeks, how long can alcohol be detected. I read on-line there are some high-tech way of examining the cells to see if any has been consumed.	There are several tests which have been researched for over a decade, to detect alcohol _consumption_ for a period long after the alcohol has been metabolized out of the bloodstream. One of these is the mean corpuscular volume ("average size" of red blood cells) - - so that may be what you mean by "examining the cells". The test is likely not as good as some others, such as carbohydrate-deficient transferrin, or a computerized panel called "Early Detection of Alcohol Consumption" (several dozen different blood tests analyzed statistically in a "profile").\n\nCould any of these test detect ONE drink, two weeks earlier? I don't think so. Might they detect an entire weekend of binge drinking, two weeks after the fact. Maybe. Conclusively? I don't know. Depends on who is the judge.\n\nBest wishes,\n\nRex Bickers

6,650	0Society & Culture	What are some free Christmas presents kids in the same family can give to one another?		Poems and songs written for the sibling are always great, so are drawings and paintings. You can supply them with spare prints of pictures and they can make collages. Or, they could make fancy frames to put a picture in.
6,651	7Entertainment & Music	Whats the best way to learn how to play the guitar?	I am a complete beginner.	First, decide what your goal is. Do you want to play leads? If so, learn to read music and do it the old fashioned way with music lessons. BUT, if you just want to learn chords, strumming, accompaniment type stuff, get a cheap guitar, a diagram of the basic chords and play along with simple tunes until you get the rhythm. The hardest part at first is learning the strumming patterns, but once you get that, you're cool. Find a friend to play with and as long as you have the chord progressions and know where to put your fingers, you're good to go. It's the easiest way to begin.

6,658	3Education & Reference	what is DSP?		It could mean Digital Signal Processor.\n\n"Digital signal processing (DSP) is the study of signals in a digital representation and the processing methods of these signals. DSP and analog signal processing are subfields of signal processing. DSP has three major subfields: audio signal processing, digital image processing and speech processing.\n\nSince the goal of DSP is usually to measure or filter continuous real-world analog signals, the first step is usually to convert the signal from an analog to a digital form, by using an analog to digital converter. Often, the required output signal is another analog output signal, which requires a digital to analog converter.\n\nThe algorithms required for DSP are sometimes performed using specialized computers, which make use of specialized microprocessors called digital signal processors (also abbreviated DSP). These process signals in real time and are generally purpose-designed ASICs."\n~ Quoted from Wikipedia\n\nMore detail can be found here >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signal_processing

6,662	0Society & Culture	Why read and write?	A ckid asked me why we need to learn to read and write and i said i do not know. do you know you?	That's a good question.\nIt's a societal standard for most of the modern world. If you do not, you will not be able to get a job, live a "full" life, or even be considered intelligent. There are many books on the subject, but if you can't read, that doesn't matter.
6,663	1Science & Mathematics	Does the existance of a cloud mean that the dewpoint inside is below the ambient temp but above it outside?		No. The cloud will form when the ambient temperature inside the cloud is lower than the dew point. The moisture may actually form snow (on a summer day!) which melts on the way down to form rain. The temperature outside the cloud may be less relevant because clouds often form when a column of moisture-laden air rises locally condensing into a cloud right above the column.
6,664	7Entertainment & Music	Who do you think was better qualified for the role as "The Apprentince", including those who were fired?	In my own opinion, I think you can be a little bit "too" qualified. When it came down to Randall and the girl who broke her ankle (was her name Rebecca?), after hearing about Randall's lengthly accomplisments, I got tired of hearing the "me, me, me" out of his mouth. He seems a bit too polished, if that's a bad thing. The other girl who broke her ankle didn't seem as polished, but she had less experience.	Well, I do agree that Randall has a slight edge in terms of educational background against Rebecca. Overall, I think Rebecca would be a better "fit" since she has a lot less experience and can probably provide a "fresh" perspective. As one person mentioned, Randall with his experience, may get bored a bit too bored quickly.\nIn the end, its not how much education, but what you do with that.

On new year's ever, restaurant reservations are tought to get and we hate crowds so parties are not a great idea.	Since year 7 is a big year, why not theme your anniversary surprise around the number 7? For example, have 7 roses placed in a small vase on the kitchen table. Around the base, place 7 Hershey's Kisses. Have 7 small balloon boquet's, (or simply 7 individual helium balloons tied up together if finances are tight) tied to one of the kitchen chairs. Then write her a simple love letter listing the 7 most wonderful things that you love about your wife. Have it sitting beside the roses. (If you are getting her a seperate gift, you can place it on top of the gift if you like!) \n\nTo top off the evening, you could pre-order one of her favorite dinners so that it is already there when she gets home, rent her favorite romance in advance, have a bottle of wine ready, and snuggle up on the couch for a quiet evening of intimacy. It really is these simple things that let her know you care! :)

Started almost three years ago. Had glucose tolerance test. No problem. Stayed overnight in sleep clinic but was unable to fall asleep due to strange surroundings and, of course, there\nwas no food. Was prescribed stimulants but that didn't help. I can drink several cups of the strongest black coffee and go right to sleep. Stay up all night though.	No other sign of narcolepsy? If you don't eat before going to bed, do you have troubles falling asleep? Are there any foods that you especially like?\n\nSuggestion 1: Try melatonin at bedtime. Make sure you're getting enough sleep to wake up well rested.\n\nSuggestion 2: Do a diet check for allergies. Remove one type of food from your diet for a week and see if that changes anything. I suggest starting with wheat first as that is very pervasive.

Is it LOVE ACTUALLY? or is it just a physical attraction? how do i differentiate between CRUSH and LOVE? and what is the real meaning of FLING?	Love or Infatuation \n\nInfatuation...\n...is an instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another.\n\nLove...\n...is friendship that has caught on fire. It takes roots and grows – one day at a time.\n\nInfatuation...\n...is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.\n\nLove...\n...is quiet understanding and the mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you – to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by his presence, even when he is away. Miles do not separate you. You want him nearer. But near or far, you know he is yours and you can wait.\n\nInfatuation...\n...says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk losing him."\n\nLove...\n...says, "Be patient, don't panic. Plan your future with confidence."\n\nInfatuation...\n...has an element of sexual excitement. If you are honest, you will admit it is difficult to be in one another's company unless you are sure it will end in intimacy.\n\nLove...\n...is the maturation of friendship. You must be friends before you can be lovers.\n\nInfatuation...\n...lacks confidence. When he's away, you wonder if he's cheating. Sometimes you even check.\n\nLove...\n...means trust. You are calm, secure, and unthreatened. He feels that trust, and it makes him even more trustworthy.\n\nInfatuation...\n...might lead you to do things you'll regret later, but love never will.\n\nLove...\n...is an upper. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before.\n\n\nIn real love, you love the person so much that you want him to be happy – even if you may not be allowed to share that happiness.

In a nutshell, you'll need to know 2 key things -- 'basis' and 'useful life'.\n\nBasis is essentially the cost of the uniforms. Useful life is how long the uniforms will be 'in service'. To depreciate, you essentially do:\n basis / useful life = periodic depreciation expense.

How can I do to remember a lot of information, I mean to improve memory?

I'm 30 years, healthy, but with concentration problems

Concentration issues stem from numerous things. Too much caffeine, being ADD, or vitamin deficiencies can all cause you to not perform at your best.\n\nI recommend taking at the very least, one multivitamin a day to start. Also, regular exercise has proven to increase bloodflow to the brain which, in turn, increases memory retention. Finally there are a number of activities which help as well, I'll list a few here:\n\n- Crossword puzzles are very good for maintaining mental health.\n- Mental association exercises. You will need to get a book or do further research on this one. But there are mental tricks you can use to remember names, lists of objects, and so on. For instance, I use a name association to remember people's names. I think of some outstanding feature of a person when I meet them and integrate it (mentally) with their name. That and I repeat the name a few times in conversation. That is just one item though.\n- There are also a new breed of drugs hitting the market. Do a search for "smart drugs" or nootropics. This is a strange area but some people swear by the stuff and I wouldn't be surprised if it really booms in the next few years.

I need help with a contract dispute with a former employer. How do lawyers get paid for helping me?

I am a Nurse Practitioner and in my previous employment I was to receive a percentage of money generated while I was employed there. After I left, my previous employer refuses to pay me the percentage I am due. If I seek legal help, how does the lawyer make money? Do I pay directly to him/her or does the money come from the amount I would receive from my previous employer?\n\nThanks for any help

It would depend on the legal theories asserted and the relative risk involved in the matter. Some state laws allow for the recovery of attorneys fees when an employee's wages are improperly withheld. Where attorneys fees are available under a statute, usually the attorney will work on a contingency basis (being paid a percentage of the recovery once the matter is settled or resolved).\n\nIf no attorneys' fees provision exists, usually the attorney would work on an hourly basis.\n\nI recommend you contact a local bar association to obtain a referral to several attorneys that can assist you.

what is the origin of quantum?

We have Quantum Mechanics. But, it is unclear to me as to what is the origin/source of quantum?

The word quantum? It comes from the latin quantus, meaning "how great".\nPhysicists started using it to refer to a discrete amount of something, specifically the smallest amount that can exist. Since quantum mechanics deals with the behavior of atoms, once thought to be the smallest particles, and still covers the even smaller parts of atoms, the name is appropriate.

Is it safe to be online during a storm if you have a surge protector?

Or will a lightningstrike fry your computer anyway? What about a cordless phone? Is it safe to talk on one during a storms since the handset is not attached to the base or the line?

I would recommend not. Two years ago, my Sony Vaio's telephone modem suddenly stopped working during a lightning storm. The lights hadn't dimmed or anything, so I thought it was just a glitch. The technician said that just because the power supply was protected by a surge protector, the phone line (which was not plugged into a surge protector) experienced a surge when a telephone box blew a few blocks away (it was a bad storm, but I just had to check my email). The surge wouldn't have hurt someone on a normal phone, but was just enough to disrupt my delicate computer. So unless its urgent, or you can work off the power grid (like a laptop), I'd just leave the computer turned off in a storm.

Why Are Some People So Obsessed With Firefox?

It will end up dying as it gets bought up by Google or MSN.\nDoes it really have any advantages?\nIs it Faster than anything else?

I personally started using Firefox just because it was the talk of the town & I have found it very nice. Its tab feature is good (although a bit overrated), but, putting that aside, it deals with the security problems very efficiently . When I was using IE as my web browser, I was so annoyed by frequent security threats & certain pop ups opening as new windows inspite of my Y! toolbars, but Firefox has made life so easier, it blocks every kind of annoying pop ups.\nNowadays whenever I try to use IE for a change, I am so annoyed by the pop ups & maximizing & minimizing browsers.\nSo I guess I am going to stick with Firefox no matter what.\nBut at the same time I think that this kind of tough competition will force microsoft to improve the security features of IE & in near future, you will be seeing a new & improved Internet Explorer which will force Firefox to die.....

why does airplane fuel feel cold?

If airplane fuel is kept in a plastic or metal container long enough its temperature will settle at room temperature and the container will feel just as cool as an empty container. However all the small light molecules of fuel will vibrate and hit and bounce off each other at a rate and strength characteristic of room temperature. This is known as heat energy. More heat yields more vibration and less heat, less vibration.\n\nHowever if you spill some fuel on your hands, the molecules of fuel will now hit and bounce off of the much larger and possibly warmer molecules of your skin. That is like a baseball bat (your molecules)hitting a baseball (fuel molecules) out of the park where the bat and ball travel at the same speed while in contact but the ball flies off across the field - which is equivalent to evaporation. The ball carries away with it energy that it did not possess until hit; and therefore leaves less energy behind. The reduction of heat energy due to evaporation cools your hand and the remaining fuel which both feel cooler.

What are the problems in having foreign genes in plants?

Foreign genes are inserted in plants for many reasons\n\nsome genes are toxic to insects that destroy crops and increase the yield of crops and therefore farmers incomes.\n\nsome genes are inserted into plants to make them resistant to herbicides, Monsanto does this with its' "roundup ready" soybeans. The whole crop can than be sprayed with the herbicide or weedkiller "roundup" and only the commercially valuable soybean crop will grow.\n\nother genes are inserted into plants to make them more nutritionally beneficial. "Golden" rice has the genes for making beta-carotene inserted into it so that poor people around the world can get their B vitamin supply from rice crops.\n\nThere have been no ill-effects shown in humans who have eaten genetically engineered plants. The idea of calling biotech crops "Franken-food" is a luddite or anti-progress one. Over 80% of the world's soybeans are genetically modified and there seems to have been no effect at all on people who eat soybean products.

should i "do it"?

im goin out with this guy and well im really into him and he says he is in to me too,that he loves me alot and everything,and for some reason the topic we were talkin about was about sex...and well i do want to try to do it with him and he tells me he wants too but he also tells me if im afraid we just dont do it and is okay with him.So my question is should i do it with this guy?..and well im still kinda of young for this...but i really love this guy.

The only person you should ever "do it" with is someone who loves you enough to wait and who loves you enough to spend the rest of his life with you. Any thing else is cheapening the gift that you will want to save for that special someone. I waited for 33 years. I'm sure your bf will not die. But don't let his sugary words cause you to give away something so precious so easily.

Menopause questions???

1.What is it?\n2.What age does it come for most women?\n3.What are the sysmptoms?\n4. Do most women really have the urge to kill when they are going through it?\n5. Can woman who've gone through menopause still have sex, or is their sexuality over?

Menopause is the medical term for the end of a woman's menstrual periods. This usually happens between the ages of 45 and 60, but it can happen earlier. Menopause can also occur when the ovaries are surgically removed or stop functioning for any other reason. About 75% of women report some troublesome symptoms during menopause, but the severity and frequency of symptoms varies from woman to woman. The most common symptoms are hot flashes and vaginal atrophy (this is, the tissue of the vagina becomes thinner, drier, and more delicate, and begins to shrink). As for question #4 not at all. Depression may be more likely in the years right before menopause. However, it is unclear whether depression is linked to low levels of estrogen or to the many changes women face during their 40s and 50s (such as career or marriage pressures, or care of children or aging parents).\nMany women say that their sexual desire lessens during the time of menopause. In many cases, the cause is physical. For instance, because lower estrogen levels sometimes cause physical changes in a woman's sexual organs, having sex may become uncomfortable or painful so it is important to find out whether there is a physical cause for lack of desire. For some women, taking hormones called androgens can help restore sexual desire.\nSome women find that sexual desire changes because of how they feel about themselves during menopause. Counseling and support groups can help women learn strategies for coping with the physical and emotional changes that occur during menopause.\nIntercourse may be painful when there is not enough moisture in the vagina or when the tissue lining the vagina becomes fragile because of lower estrogen levels in the body. Several methods are available to relieve pain during intercourse. It may sound surprising, but frequent sexual activity is one of the most effective remedies for vaginal dryness. Other remedies include taking a warm bath before intercourse or using lubricants. Short-acting, water-based lubricants, such as K-Y Jelly, supply moisture and are used immediately before intercourse. These products are readily available in grocery stores and pharmacies, usually at a low cost. Long-acting vaginal moisturizers are also available, and can provide extended relief. Vaginal creams containing estrogen are very helpful in relieving the symptoms of menopause, including vaginal dryness.

Code division multiple access (CDMA) is (not a modulation scheme, but a form of multiplexing) a method of multiple access that does not divide up the channel by time (as in TDMA), or frequency (as in FDMA), but instead encodes data with a certain code associated with a channel and uses the constructive interference properties of the signal medium to perform the multiplexing. CDMA also refers to digital cellular telephony systems that makes use of this multiple access scheme, such as those pioneered by Qualcomm, or W-CDMA.

How did the honeymoon evolve?

Today, the tradition of a honeymoon following nuptials has, long way from its original meaning. Today's "happy ending" to the wedding event is a far cry from its much different beginnings. The word honeymoon has its roots in the Norse word "hjunottsmanathr" which was anything but blissful. Northern European history describes the abduction of a bride from neighboring village. It was imperative, that the abductor, the husband to be, take his bride to be into hiding for period of time. His friends assured his and her safe keeping and kept their whereabouts unknown. Once the bride's family gave up their search, the bride groom returned to his people. This folkloric explanation presumably is the origin of today's honeymoon, for its original meaning meant hiding. \n\nThe Scandinavian word for honeymoon is derived, in part, from an ancient Northern European custom in which newlyweds, for the first month of their married life, drank a daily cup of honeyed wine called mead. The ancient practices of kidnaping of bride and drinking the honeyed wine date back to the history of Atilla, king of the Asiatic Huns from A.D. 433 to A.D. 453. \n\nSo that leaves us with the question of where the "moon" in the word "honeymoon" originates. One piece of folklore relates that the origin of the word moon comes from a cynical inference. To the Northern Europeans the terms referred to the body's monthly cycle and, its combination with honey, suggested that not all moon's of married life were as sweet as the first. British prose writers and poets, in the 16th and 17th centuries, often made use of the Nordic interpretation of honeymoon as a waxing and waning of marital affection.

if god was walking the earth today would he be classified liberal or consevative?

i would think liberal

This would very much depend on which god you are talking about. Overall i think the Judao-christian-islamic god would be classified as a Liberal. Throughout those texts there is much discussion of taking care of the poor, taking care of children, and taking care of the elderly. I think that god would advocate for social programs to help those groups, something that conservatives in American tend to not support.\n\nAlso the things like preemtive war, and staring a war would most likly not be supported by this god. Although war in general is more debatable. Once agian a more Liberal view.\n\nTax policy from this god would be very debatable. I would focuse of the fact that all 3 of these religions do have stories about "reaping what you sow", so i would take this to mean that this god would want heavy investment today, for a better tomorrow, and would definatly be aginst borrowing money to do this. So i would suspect that would mean higher taxes, once agian a more liberal stance.\n\nSocial issues such as homosexuality, abortion, pre-marital sex, ect... Those are all very debatable, but I think god would have a more conservative view on those things, but agian this would be debatable.\n\nIn the eastern religions God is such a diffrent concept that i am not sure we could really answer this, but if i had to answer i think i would say that god would be more liberal.

what is "cherubism"?

Cherubism: A genetic disorder of childhood that leads to prominence of the lower face and an appearance reminiscent of the cherubs portrayed in Renaissance art.\n\nCherubism is due to a problem in bone formation that is largely limited to the upper and lower jaws (the maxilla and mandible) with loss of bone in the jaws and its replacement by excessive amounts of fibrous tissue. These abnormalities often resolve after puberty.\n\nCherubism is inherited as an autosomal dominant condition. Most boys and girls with it have a parent who had cherubism, while the few children with cherubism without a family history are thought to have a new mutation (a newly arisen gene) for cherubism but can transmit it to their children.\n\nThe gene for cherubism is on chromosome 4. It is specifically in chromosome band 4p16.3 and is called SH3BP2 (for SH3-domain binding protein 2). Exactly how a mutation in SH3BP2 leads to cherubism is not yet known.

About a week ago I began getting messages that the latest version has come out & I should replace the original version with this newer version - but I was too busy at the time. But now I have just done it - and crashed immediately! I once had trouble with a WINZIP pop-up which posed as the familiar WINZIP product, and I am now beginning to wonder if I have just taken in a "Trojan horse" and in the process have eliminated my REAL anti-spyware. I had some slight problem with the original Spy Sweeper, and when I went to the Home page, I couldn't find any "Contact Us" button. Can anyone advise as to what is happening?

I wouldn't pay for Spy Sweeper, I assume you do have to pay for it and there is also no such thing as a primary Adware defense. I use four programs, all of them are free and you'll never have to pay for the upgraded versions because in most cases you won't need them.\n\nMaybe you have some of these already but I would uninstall Spy Sweeper as soon as you can and get all of these if you don't have them:\n\nAdaware SE Personal, http://www.lavasoft.com/\nSpybot S&D, http://www.safer-networking.com/\nMS AntiSpyware Beta (it's active protection is second to none), http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\nSpywareBlaster (another layer of active protection), http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/\n\nAfter you have those run the scanners, except for SpywareBlaster, it is just an active protection agent and see if there is anything on your system. I also assume you have an Anti-Virus application, if not download and install AVG Free Edition, http://free.grisoft.com/ and see if there is anything on your system.\n\nI also like the addition of a software firewall, Kerio Personal, http://www.snapfiles.com/get/keriofirewall.html but when possible get behind any router for the protection of a hardware firewall.

It depends on what you are looking for but I would get one with at least 512MB of memory. In that category there is the Acer Aspire with an AMD Sempron 3000+ processor, 512MB of memory, 60GB hard drive, a 15.4" WXGA display (1280 x 800 resolution), a CD-RW/DVD-Rom drive, you aren't going to find a DVD burner in this price range and of course, 802.11b/g wireless for $700 (after a $100 rebate).\n\nThat would be my pick but if you think you can get by with 256MB of memory then you can go as cheap as $549 but I don't like that laptop because it has a 15.0" display. The next one up has a 15.4" display but still only has 256MB of memory. The first link will take you to the Acer and the second one will take you to the whole list.

Is it bad if I think about sex all day long?

I don't know why but I just can't help it. I like to watch sexy and hot things (men, muscular physiques, brawny builds). And it is far too easy to turn me on. My penis erects even if I just close my eyes for a few second and think about something that turn me on.\n\nDoes this affect relationships? How can I help it? Or, actually is it weird nowadays to think about sex all the time?

If you are a male around the ages of 13-60 (sexual peak time though is about 18-30) or a woman 12-120 (sexual peak time is about 18-60) it is VERY normal to think of sex all time..in fact, if you didn't, that would be a problem. So relax, enjoy..and by all means..bring yourself to climax often..it keeps the whole reproductive system healthy (this goes for women too). Sex drive is related to the amount of testosterone in the body. The more a person has (male or female, and we all have some) the higher the sex drive. Some have more than others. Good luck

When I am on my wireless connection at home, it is interrupted every time someone uses the microwave. What possible motivation could a company have for creating an adapter that does this???

Well at the moment the frequency that microwaves use (2.4GHz) is the best one for wireless. But in about a year (or two) wireless will be using better frequencies that don't interfere with phones. For now you can get 802.11a routers and cards which work on a lower frequency. The one drawback of those is that they interfere with older phones and the speed is slower.

can alcohol be detected in the blood for more than 2 weeks?

For someone who is under DUI supervision, and is reguired to take blood test every 5 weeks, how long can alcohol be detected. I read on-line there are some high-tech way of examining the cells to see if any has been consumed.

There are several tests which have been researched for over a decade, to detect alcohol _consumption_ for a period long after the alcohol has been metabolized out of the bloodstream. One of these is the mean corpuscular volume ("average size" of red blood cells) - - so that may be what you mean by "examining the cells". The test is likely not as good as some others, such as carbohydrate-deficient transferrin, or a computerized panel called "Early Detection of Alcohol Consumption" (several dozen different blood tests analyzed statistically in a "profile").\n\nCould any of these test detect ONE drink, two weeks earlier? I don't think so. Might they detect an entire weekend of binge drinking, two weeks after the fact. Maybe. Conclusively? I don't know. Depends on who is the judge.\n\nBest wishes,\n\nRex Bickers

Whats the best way to learn how to play the guitar?

I am a complete beginner.

First, decide what your goal is. Do you want to play leads? If so, learn to read music and do it the old fashioned way with music lessons. BUT, if you just want to learn chords, strumming, accompaniment type stuff, get a cheap guitar, a diagram of the basic chords and play along with simple tunes until you get the rhythm. The hardest part at first is learning the strumming patterns, but once you get that, you're cool. Find a friend to play with and as long as you have the chord progressions and know where to put your fingers, you're good to go. It's the easiest way to begin. After that, you can decide if you want to be Eddie Van Halen. ;-) Good luck!

It could mean Digital Signal Processor.\n\n"Digital signal processing (DSP) is the study of signals in a digital representation and the processing methods of these signals. DSP and analog signal processing are subfields of signal processing. DSP has three major subfields: audio signal processing, digital image processing and speech processing.\n\nSince the goal of DSP is usually to measure or filter continuous real-world analog signals, the first step is usually to convert the signal from an analog to a digital form, by using an analog to digital converter. Often, the required output signal is another analog output signal, which requires a digital to analog converter.\n\nThe algorithms required for DSP are sometimes performed using specialized computers, which make use of specialized microprocessors called digital signal processors (also abbreviated DSP). These process signals in real time and are generally purpose-designed ASICs."\n~ Quoted from Wikipedia\n\nMore detail can be found here >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signal_processing

Does the existance of a cloud mean that the dewpoint inside is below the ambient temp but above it outside?

No. The cloud will form when the ambient temperature inside the cloud is lower than the dew point. The moisture may actually form snow (on a summer day!) which melts on the way down to form rain. The temperature outside the cloud may be less relevant because clouds often form when a column of moisture-laden air rises locally condensing into a cloud right above the column.

When it came down to Randall and the girl who broke her ankle (was her name Rebecca?), after hearing about Randall's lengthly accomplisments, I got tired of hearing the "me, me, me" out of his mouth. He seems a bit too polished, if that's a bad thing. The other girl who broke her ankle didn't seem as polished, but she had less experience.

Well, I do agree that Randall has a slight edge in terms of educational background against Rebecca. Overall, I think Rebecca would be a better "fit" since she has a lot less experience and can probably provide a "fresh" perspective. As one person mentioned, Randall with his experience, may get bored a bit too bored quickly.\nIn the end, its not how much education, but what you do with that.

ISDN supports data transfer rates of 64 Kbps (64,000 bits per second). \n=====================\nApplications of ISDN\n=====================\nSome applications of ISDN are..\n\n---------------------------\nInternet Access\n--------------------------\nISDN is a fast, accurate, economical conduit for all kinds of Internet-based information, including global email, file transfer, news groups, bulletin boards and interactive applications. Emerging applications include electronic commerce and low-speed video and radio broadcasting. Net surfers can even cruise virtual malls to shop the world for goods and services in a convenient and secure sales environment.\n--------------------------------------------\nTelecommuting or Work-at-Home\n--------------------------------------------\nBoth for full-time telecommuters and for those who work at home, ISDN supports fast, reliable LAN access, enhanced voice services, corporate email, file transfer, remote printing and all the other functions available to those that work in an office environment.\n------------------------------------------\nVideo Conferencing\n------------------------------------------\nISDN supports distance learning, business training, administrative conferencing and a wide range of other video-based applications with high fidelity audio and broadcast-quality, full color, full motion images. ISDN can be configured as set-top TV to PC, and PC to PC video conferencing at either 128 Kbps or 384 Kbps.\n-----------------------------------------\nBranch Office Communications\n-----------------------------------------\nISDN provides high-performance, cost-effective connections for transferring information and linking your multiple business locations to create a fast, smooth-running Wide Area Network (WAN).\n------------------------------------------\nStandby Inter-Networking\n------------------------------------------\nISDN can help you minimize the risks of outages or overflows by providing reliable, high-speed back up and extra bandwidth on a cost-effective, dial-up basis.\n------------------------------------------\nPoint-of-Sale Services\n------------------------------------------\nISDN delivers the speed and performance formerly associated only with costly private lines – at economical, public network prices. With ISDN, transaction times for processing credit card sales averages just four to six seconds. Compare that to analog telephone lines, which range from 30 to 60 seconds. That's especially important to queue-sensitive and high-volume retailers.\n----------------------------------------------\nTelemedia/Desktop Publishing\n---------------------------------------------\nISDN offers the bandwidth and digital clarity to support such publishing-related functions as typesetting, processing color separations, creating printing plates, color scanning of photographs and page layout proofing. When turnaround speed is essential, ISDN is an ideal solution. \n--------------------------------------------\nTelemetry/Security\n--------------------------------------------\nWith ISDN, a central surveillance site can visually observe numerous remote locations, while monitoring the status of alarms and access control devices. \nThe B channels provide connectivity for video and the D channel accommodates the other alarm inputs.\n================\nchannels of ISDN\n================\n-----------\nB Channel \n-----------\nOperate at 64 Kbps. Carries information for user services including voice, audio, \n video and digital data. \n----------\nD Channel \n----------\nOperate at 16 Kbps. Carries signals between the user and the network. This may also \n carry user data packets.\n----------- \nH Channel \n-----------\nOperate at N X 64 Kbps. Carries information for u

My 7th wedding anniversary is on new years eve. What can I do that my wife will love and wont break the bank?

I would like to do something unique and memorable. On new year's ever, restaurant reservations are tought to get and we hate crowds so parties are not a great idea.

Since year 7 is a big year, why not theme your anniversary surprise around the number 7? For example, have 7 roses placed in a small vase on the kitchen table. Around the base, place 7 Hershey's Kisses. Have 7 small balloon boquet's, (or simply 7 individual helium balloons tied up together if finances are tight) tied to one of the kitchen chairs. Then write her a simple love letter listing the 7 most wonderful things that you love about your wife. Have it sitting beside the roses. (If you are getting her a seperate gift, you can place it on top of the gift if you like!) \n\nTo top off the evening, you could pre-order one of her favorite dinners so that it is already there when she gets home, rent her favorite romance in advance, have a bottle of wine ready, and snuggle up on the couch for a quiet evening of intimacy. It really is these simple things that let her know you care! :)

Starting college in January and need to have a good job to support myself. I may get in at an excellent company full time in February. Will it be too hard for me?

i run 15 credit hours and have two jobs that add up to a full time 10 and 32 hours yeah i didnt get a lot of sleep this semester and well i had to pull 2 24 hour days a week to keep it all together. the problem is that you cannot just take 5 hours in a row the schedules at most colleges will keep you from having a perfect schedule. if you can do it you really wont have a social life. work it around if you can but, bet on having a part time job at night

Any idea what could be causing me to fall asleep after I eat anything at all?

Doesn't matter what I eat or how much. Almost always occurs and is hard to fight off. Started almost three years ago. Had glucose tolerance test. No problem. Stayed overnight in sleep clinic but was unable to fall asleep due to strange surroundings and, of course, there\nwas no food. Was prescribed stimulants but that didn't help. I can drink several cups of the strongest black coffee and go right to sleep. Stay up all night though.

No other sign of narcolepsy? If you don't eat before going to bed, do you have troubles falling asleep? Are there any foods that you especially like?\n\nSuggestion 1: Try melatonin at bedtime. Make sure you're getting enough sleep to wake up well rested.\n\nSuggestion 2: Do a diet check for allergies. Remove one type of food from your diet for a week and see if that changes anything. I suggest starting with wheat first as that is very pervasive.

How do i know, when i am in love? or how do i differentiate between physical attraction,crush,and love?

Is it LOVE ACTUALLY? or is it just a physical attraction? how do i differentiate between CRUSH and LOVE? and what is the real meaning of FLING?

Love or Infatuation \n\nInfatuation...\n...is an instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another.\n\nLove...\n...is friendship that has caught on fire. It takes roots and grows – one day at a time.\n\nInfatuation...\n...is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.\n\nLove...\n...is quiet understanding and the mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you – to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by his presence, even when he is away. Miles do not separate you. You want him nearer. But near or far, you know he is yours and you can wait.\n\nInfatuation...\n...says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk losing him."\n\nLove...\n...says, "Be patient, don't panic. Plan your future with confidence."\n\nInfatuation...\n...has an element of sexual excitement. If you are honest, you will admit it is difficult to be in one another's company unless you are sure it will end in intimacy.\n\nLove...\n...is the maturation of friendship. You must be friends before you can be lovers.\n\nInfatuation...\n...lacks confidence. When he's away, you wonder if he's cheating. Sometimes you even check.\n\nLove...\n...means trust. You are calm, secure, and unthreatened. He feels that trust, and it makes him even more trustworthy.\n\nInfatuation...\n...might lead you to do things you'll regret later, but love never will.\n\nLove...\n...is an upper. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before.\n\n\nIn real love, you love the person so much that you want him to be happy – even if you may not be allowed to share that happiness.

How do you compute for a Uniform Amortization?

Uniform Amortization for a business...

Depending on the cost, it may be easiest to expense the uniforms. This type of thing would probably be a depreciable asset rather than one you amortize. \n\nFor depreciation, you'll need to follow IRS guidelines on depreciable property. In a nutshell, you'll need to know 2 key things -- 'basis' and 'useful life'.\n\nBasis is essentially the cost of the uniforms. Useful life is how long the uniforms will be 'in service'. To depreciate, you essentially do:\n basis / useful life = periodic depreciation expense.

do racially segregated facilities violate the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment?

Yes they do. That was the whole point of the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education. The basic idea is that separate but equal is inherently unequal. This is true even in prisons, as California was recently ordered to end racial segregation in prison populations, even though they have a reasonably plausible reason to do so, to curb racial violence.
