8,600	0Society & Culture	Is Benny Hinn fake?		I've seen this man take off his $4,000 suit coat and hit people with it. The person fell down and claimed to be healed through this so-called 'annointing'. I think this qualifies him as a fake. That combined with that God-awful comb-over and you have proof positive that this guy is a charlatan.

8,602	2Health	What is pink eye? How do you get pink eye?		Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)\n \n\nThe conjunctiva is the thin, clear membrane over the white part of the eye; it also lines the eyelids. Inflammation of this membrane is called conjunctivitis. Its common name, pink eye, can refer to all forms of conjunctivitis, or just to its contagious forms.\n\n\nConjunctivitis may be triggered by a virus, bacteria, an allergic reaction (to dust, pollen, smoke, fumes or chemicals) or, in the case of giant papillary conjunctivitis, a foreign body on the eye, typically a contact lens. Bacterial and viral systemic infections also may induce conjunctivitis.
8,603	3Education & Reference	how are cyclones caused?	pics also	For a very good explanation start here:\n\nhttp://clearlyexplained.com/nature/earth/disasters/cyclones.html\n\nIf you want some additional information read on:\n\nCyclones\n\nThe terms "hurricane" and "typhoon" are regionally specific names for a strong "tropical cyclone". A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a non-frontal synoptic scale low-pressure system over tropical or sub-tropical waters with organized convection (i.e. thunderstorm activity) and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation (Holland 1993).\n\nTropical cyclones with maximum sustained surface winds of less than 17 m/s (34 kt, 39 mph) are called "tropical depressions" (This is not to be confused with the condition mid-latitude people get during a long, cold and grey winter wishing they could be closer to the equator ;-)). Once the tropical cyclone reaches winds of at least 17 m/s (34 kt, 39 mph) they are typically called a "tropical storm" and assigned a name. If winds reach 33 m/s (64 kt, 74 mph)), then they are called:\n\n * "hurricane" (the North Atlantic Ocean, the Northeast Pacific Ocean east of the dateline, or the South Pacific Ocean east of 160E)\n * "typhoon" (the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the dateline)\n * "severe tropical cyclone" (the Southwest Pacific Ocean west of 160E or Southeast Indian Ocean east of 90E)\n * "severe cyclonic storm" (the North Indian Ocean)\n * "tropical cyclone" (the Southwest Indian Ocean) \n\nHow they are Caused\n\nGo to this link for a diagram:\n\nhttp://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/A15.html\n\nTo undergo tropical cyclogenesis, there are several favorable pre cursor environmental conditions that must be in place (Gray 1968,1979) :\n\n1. Warm ocean waters (of at least 26.5°C [80°F]) throughout a sufficient depth (unknown how deep, but at least on the order of 50 m [150 ft]). Warm waters are necessary to fuel the heat engine of the tropical cyclone.\n\n2. An atmosphere which cools fast enough with height such that it is potentially unstable to moist convection. It is the thunderstorm activity which allows the heat stored in the ocean waters to be liberated for the tropical cyclone development.\n\n3. Relatively moist layers near the mid-troposphere (5 km [3 mi]). Dry mid levels are not conducive for allowing the continuing development of widespread thunderstorm activity.\n\n4. A minimum distance of at least 500 km [300 mi] from the equator. For tropical cyclogenesis to occur, there is a requirement for non-negligible amounts of the Coriolis force to provide for near gradient wind balance to occur. Without the Coriolis force, the low pressure of the disturbance cannot be maintained.\n\n5. A pre-existing near-surface disturbance with sufficient vorticity and convergence. Tropical cyclones cannot be generated spontaneously. To develop, they require a weakly organized system with sizable spin and low level inflow.\n\n6. Low values (less than about 10 m/s [20 kts 23 mph]) of vertical wind shear between the surface and the upper troposphere. Vertical wind shear is the magnitude of wind change with height. Large values of vertical wind shear disrupt the incipient tropical cyclone and can prevent genesis, or, if a tropical cyclone has already formed, large vertical shear can weaken or destroy the tropical cyclone by interfering with the organization of deep convection around the cyclone center.

8,606	7Entertainment & Music	Explain the plot in the movie Syriana?		Syriana is a political thriller directed by Stephen Gaghan. Gaghan wrote the screenplay, loosely based on the book See No Evil by Robert Baer. George Clooney stars and was one of the film's executive producers (along with Steven Soderbergh, Ben Cosgrove, and Jeff Skoll).\n\n\nSyriana is a vastly complicated and ambiguous film, with many characters, parralel storylines and information presented to the viewer, often purposely withholding information to add to the effect that the viewer is witnessing real events and "is in the dark" as much as the characters in the movie. The storylines crisscross later on, and in the final stages of the movie, collide violently.
8,607	4Computers & Internet	In iTunes, is there a way to keep songs in my library, but choose to keep them off my iPod?

8,609	0Society & Culture	Is the ISLAM a comprehensive religion? If yes or no why?		Yes Islam is a Comprehensive Religion. The proof is stated in the Fact that The Prophet Mohammed(Peace Be Upon Him) was ranked #1 In Michael Harts Book \nThe 100:Most Influential People in History because\n"...he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level." Since the Prophet's wife Aisha when asked about him said that he was the walking Quran.\nThis is one of the many evidences which shows the comprehensiveness of Islam. For more evidence go to Whyislam.org

8,615	8Family & Relationships	What is wrong with all the people on here and why are they all such sex-obsessed nuts?	There are so many questions on here that really don't need to be on here. Love and dating is just for that: Love and Dating. If all these Sex questions have a place at all, it is in the "Other" category. Few people are interested in knowing if your boyfriend comes inside your mouth or elsewhere, such is the content of some of these questions. In reality, nobody cares that you have been in bed with 300+ people or none. Very few people have a desire to know that you are gay straight or bi, and I doubt anybody here is placing "peer pressure" on you to go out and have sex for the sake of being "normal" or "socially acceptable" according to them. We are human beings, not rejectable products manufactured at below standard. We should stop sending this type of message around.\n\nAnyone pervert warped and morbid enough to think you should meet their standards or have X dozen sex partners just because they say it's normal should hang out in "Other," where these types of questons should stay.	they're probably little kids who think it's funny. report them. eventually, MAYBE Yahoo! will get the point and find some way to not let those questions be asked, since they are against the guidelines anyway.

8,619	9Politics & Government	Why can't homosexuals get civil marriage licenses?	As law abiding, tax paying citizens, why is getting a civil marriage license any different than getting a drivers license or a hunting license? Apart from someone's religious views, are there sound civil reasons?	Depends on how you define marriage. Also, it has tax benefits and such, so the government doesn't want to legalize gay marriage, apart from the moral interpretations and legal things.

8,622	1Science & Mathematics	Are inanimate objects subject to a wind chill or heat index?		It depends, at least for wind chill. Wind chill is a perception that temperatures are colder than actual and is caused by air movement causing evaporation of persperation; therefor perceptible to living things. However, if one wets a thermometer and exposes it to moving air, it will indicate a temperature colder than one that is not wet. Thermometers are, of course, inanimate.

8,627	3Education & Reference	How has the SAT scoring changed over the past years? I hear the scores are inflated now?? WHy?	Back in the day when I took the SAT, the total score was out of 1600 (800 Math / 800 Verbal). A score over 1300 was considered great, 1400 was really amazing, and 1500+ was for superstars. I hear that the scoring has changed now and that scores are inflated...what happened?	The new SAT is out of 2400 points, 800 for verbal, 800 for math, and 800 for the "new" writing section, which is really the SAT II Writing put into the test. The test was designed as a way of determining who fits where mostly in the University of California system. The scores aren't really inflated but just out of a new total. The test is also longer than the original.

8,630	1Science & Mathematics	why do the acetaldehyde, acetone and cyclohexanone exist in the keto form instead of the enol form?	Keto-enol tautomerism	The strength of C-O pi-bond is greater than that of C-C pi bond.(~ 364kJ/mol vs ~ 250 kJ/mol). Greater strength means greater stability. Thus the keto form is much favoured.

8,634	6Business & Finance	how do i use yahoo with outlook express? Like, the server, etc. I'm having a hard time with this.?		I had the same problem with mine. Well, it should be the same as the comcast.net - where you choose POP 3 then get the incoming and outgoing server... on comcast it was mail.comcast.net (incoming) and then smtp.comcast.net (outgoing). Try replacing the comcast.net with yahoo.com otherwise, you have to use the main internet server you got at home.
8,635	8Family & Relationships	Wh am i so unbelievable scared about dating an girl who is 2 years older then me and shes 23 and she has a kid		I'm not sure about the age thing, but I can speak to the kids part. Becoming involved with someone with children has loads of potential pitfalls, but just as many potential rewards. \n\nWhen I was younger and far more naive, I was involved for two years with a girl who had a son. He was only a couple months old when we started dating. We were young, starry-eyed, and I at least had swallowed all the "love conquers all" BS that pop culture abounds with. In short, I believed that we were going to be together forever and I gave my heart to both her and her boy. When I was away at basic training, she was unfaithful and the long and short of it was that when our relationship fell apart, I lost him as well. The last time I ever saw him he was fast asleep, and the last time I ever spoke to him was when I was stuck in basic training, over a pay phone. I stood there listening, knowing that I was losing the most important part of my life, and all he would say over and over again was "Home Dad!" That was back in the dark ages of 1986, nearly twenty years ago, but it was the darkest and most painful time in my life, and it still hurts like hell to think about. \n\nIt was over ten years later that I dated a woman with children again. I was older but no wiser really. Despite thinking in the back of my mind that I should really be careful about this sort of thing, I fell in love with the kids as easily as with the woman I was dating. Just couldn't help it really. They were both girls, 3 and 7 at the time. They were 4 and 8 when I married my wife, and they're 11 and 15 now. I love all three of them with all my heart and they have given me more happiness than anything else in my life, hands down. Nothing comes close to being a father and husband.\n\nThe fact that you are scared is probably a very good thing if it makes you cautious in approaching this relationship. You are opening yourself up to a whole different set of possibilities when becoming involved with someone who has a child, and not just for yourself. Your actions may have a profound impact on the life of that child. Only you know whether you can or should be involved with the child, and just how deeply. Are you willing to be a father if things go right with this woman? How much are you willing to give of your heart and what will you do if things then fall apart? Only you can answer these questions. \n\nThe only solid advice I can give is that if you or the mother aren't capable of placing the child's well-being right at the center of things you should walk away now. That child is much more vulnerable and far more powerless than either you or she, and your actions can have a profound effect on a young life.

8,639	1Science & Mathematics	is there any substance to stun a person instantaneously(immobilize him),if so how do you make it?		Yeah, you can use H2S gas... Hydrogen Sulphid. With just100 parts H2S per a Million parts of Air, it will knock you out in less than a 2 seconds, stop your respiratory functions as it paralyzes your nervous system. It’s made by combining Hydrogen and Sulphur Gases together. \nWell, seeing it comes from crude oil, it is relatively easy to find and make.\nOne short note; if you do not get the person into a breathable atmosphere within 4 minutes and revive them, they will die.
8,640	1Science & Mathematics	Doggie DNA?	Is it possible to tell a breed of dog by DNA? I mean by looking at it and identifying the breed, not the parent.	Yes, recent DNA analysis of purebred dogs suggests that breeds can be discerned with a high degree of accuracy.\n\nI quote:\n"At a DNA level, breeds are a very real concept. Every poodle is more closely related to a poodle than it is to a dog of any other breed," says Elaine Ostrander of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. In the May 21 Science, she and her colleagues describe their analysis of DNA from 85 dog breeds."\n\nFrom: \nhttp://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20040522/fob4.asp\nAlso see:\nhttp://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/05/0520_040520_dogbreeds.html
8,641	2Health	have you heard of schlerdoma? (spell check)?		From emedicine: Scleroderma is a systemic disease that affects many organ systems. It is most obvious in the skin; however, the gastrointestinal tract, the respiratory, renal, cardiovascular, and genitourinary systems, as well as numerous vascular structures, are involved frequently. The symptoms result from progressive tissue fibrosis and occlusion of the microvasculature by excessive production and deposition of types I and III collagens. Other macromolecules found in the connective tissue (eg, glycosaminoglycans, tenascin, fibronectin) also are increased. The vascular alterations show a predilection for affecting the small arteries, arterioles, and capillaries. The small vessel cytoskeleton is affected by structural defects that lead to collapse. Next, the tight junctions become altered and are no longer functional, allowing the endothelium to slip into the vessel lumen.\n\nFrom webmd: Scleroderma (pronounced SKLEER-oh-der-ma) is Greek for hard skin. It's classified as both a connective-tissue disorder and a rheumatic condition. In scleroderma, the skin gradually tightens and thickens or hardens. It loses its ability to stretch. Tiny blood vessels throughout the body also may be affected, causing widespread damage to the internal organs.
8,642	7Entertainment & Music	is there any true meaning in astrology?		Astrology, throwing the I-Ching, reading palms and any of the esoteric arts are a way to focus the intuition that all humans have. \n\nJesus said, "All these things that I do, you can do and more, for this is what I leave for you. I leave you a comforter." \n\nWe all have psychic potential, which includes ESP, intuition, empathy. How do we hone this potential and make it work for us? There are many ways to tap intuition, to know information that shouldn't be able to be known. \n\nAstrology and all of the esoteric arts are "training wheels" to a different level of intuition and psychic ability. They are all meant to be set aside once psychic skills are developed. \n\nI do believe that Astrology and other esoteric arts are not in conflict with believing in a Higher Being, it's all related. For wouldn't a loving and merciful God give us the stars to look at, the wrinkles in the palm of our hand to ponder, or see how beans bounced on a checker board floor and still find truth? \n\nThe truth is within us. The truth is our hotline to God's Eye View. \n\nIt's what makes us different from the beasts in the fields. Cats and dogs aren't having this discussion, it's us pesky humans. \n\nSo Astrology can work for those who are seeking to increase their intuition and then toss away the books and find the truth that is within them. \n\nAlso, if one is set to disbelieve all things, then nothing will make sense. If one is set to see the connectiveness of all things then everything makes sense. That's our free will at work. \n\nThe big question is this: No matter what you believe, does it allow you to be peaceful? Does your belief system prepare you for the yawning black mouth of the grave? Sentient creatures know they are mortal. Belief systems are created to deal with the inevitable. \n\nIf so, cool. \n\nIf not, then reviewing what is not working with that belief system is in order.
8,643	4Computers & Internet	what is multymedia?		I'm assuming you meant multimedia. Multimedia is the use of several different media to convey information (text, audio, graphics, animation, video, and interactivity). Multimedia also refers to computer data storage devices, especially those used to store multimedia content.

8,645	3Education & Reference	I cant pay for college how do i make more $ with only high school?		You aren't going to be making a lot of money with just a high school degree unless you have some new invention or idea that will revolutionize the world.\n\nThere are a lot of grants and scholarships out there that will pay for your college as long as you do well while you are in college so that they continue to give you funding.\n\nActually the poorer you are the more free money you will get. If you have done well in high school the easier it is to get funding. You can also get scholarships from all over the place. There are a lot of places to look on the internet for scholarships and the college you pick can also assist you in finding scholarships.\n\nAt the very least there are student loans that will pay for your college and you have to pay those back when you have completed college, but it is well worth going to college than not going.
8,646	4Computers & Internet	Browsers will not surf the net, did I remove some important DLLs?	Hello - I downloaded some P2P software and it immediatedly delivered me a virus. I should have known better. I deleted the program, but I think I must have deleted some shared .dlls in the process. (not sure) Now, none of my browsers are able to surf the net. My computer does connect. I have tried repairing explorer and reinstalling Firefox. No go. I have run all the virus, spy and malware programs, and used "Hijack this". Still no go. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.	Try "ping 127.0.0.1"\n\nIf that works, try pinging your ISP's DNS. And go on from there.\n\nIf no luck, run a "netstat -an" and post it to some PC help web forum.\n\nRun Dr. Watson and have it do a scan. Search on your hard drive for it, I think its name depends on which OS you use. It's Drwatson.exe on W98SE. XP has rollback capability.\n\nSounds like your network stack is damaged.

8,647	7Entertainment & Music	Is big screen musicals are coming back today, or just a once in a lifetime?		I think right now, Americans are having a lacluster response to these movies. Sure Chicago and Moulin Rouge were HUGE. But since then, the musical movies haven't done as well in the box office. I think movies (as many things) in general go through cycles. Action movies are really popular, sci-fi really popular, musical movies are really popular, etc. I think in a couple of years musical movies will become big again. Until then, I think production companies will think hard about putting musicals up and into production.

But he alway distuct me by countless problem, such as: You draw something for me... you read a book for me...If I refuse,he start cry and shout. What I shoud do now? Thank you very much.	I have a 6 year old boy. you are not alone. Kids are smart and they quickly learn how to get their way if the parents allow. Try to sit down just you and him, in a place where there is nothing to distract him, and talk to him. Don't stand over him since kids find that intimidating but look at him at eye level. Let him know how much you enjoy doing things with him but there is a time and place for everything. Kids need boundaries, and the crying is most likely a way of him getting what he wants. When it comes to behavior don't bribe him, but reward him. When he cries, I know it's hard, but LET HIM CRY. Say he doesn't cry for a while or doesn't start a tantrum, tell him how well behaved he is, and give him a little treat, cookie, stickers, extra 15 minutes watching tv. It is important to be positive towards a child. Kids are always looking for approval specially from parents and believe me you will see little changes. Remember you are the parent not his friend. he has to respect you and the fact that you are the adult.\nAs to the anti-social, try to bring him around other kids more often like the playground, or mcdonnalds playcenter, places like that. Even if he doesn't go off and play with them, he will watch and see how much the others are having fun, and soon enough he will want to play too.

I have been a registered respiratory therapist for 17 years now. The job can be very stressful depending on which type of facility that you work in. You must have a strong stomach because some of the things that we do can be quite disgusting; such as tracheostomy care and suctioning sputum. The job can also be extremely tiring physically because of all the standing and walking within the hospital. The nursing field pays a little better. One thing that does bother me is that the nurses seem to have some direction over the therapist when it comes to the patient and sometimes try to overide our decisions. Overall, it has been a good career but I don't think I would go back into the field again if I could do it over.

8,674	7Entertainment & Music	Anybody remember the SNORKS?	I know the SNORKS weren't as popular as the SMURFS, but what is the name of the main SNORK and his lady friend?	The Snorks was a comic book created by Belgian Freddy Monnickendam in 1974. "Snorks", the titular characters are a race of small, colorful, fictional beings that live in the underwater world of Snorkland. The comic was later adapted by Hanna-Barbera Productions into an American Saturday morning cartoon, which ran on NBC from 1984 to 1988. The cartoon was a mild success, compared to the popularity of Hanna-Barbera's The Smurfs (another adaptation from a Belgian comic).\n\nThe Snorks have snorkels on their heads, which are used to propel them swiftly through the water. When a Snork becomes excited his tube makes a "snork" sound. Like the Flintstones or the Smurfs, they have much of the same technology as humans, adapted to their own aquatic environment.\n\nThe main characters of this cartoon are:\n\nAllstar Seaworthy \nCasey Kelp, the pretty red-headed girlfriend of Allstar. \nDaphney \nTooter, who speaks only in "toots" \nOccy, the octopus, the best friend of the Allstar \nJo-jo, the strong and bold, and the only one with two snorkels. \nJunior Wetworth, the conceited and snobby son of Governor Wetworth (governor of Snorkland), is their foe. \nContrary to popular belief, The Snorks was not based upon The Smurfs, although both originated in the same geographical area.\n\nThe Snorks made a brief cameo in the fourth season of the animated series Family Guy, where two Snorks appeared in a sexually suggestive gag.

8,678	1Science & Mathematics	radar teachnology?		Radar sends out a radio signal that bounces off an object and returns to the radar station. The radar detector can determine the distance to an object by the very slight delay between the outgoing signal and the return signal that travel at the speed of light. The direction to the object can be determined by the azimuth of the radar screen (direction the signal was sent).\n\nState police can use a radar device to detect the speed of a moving car because of the doppler effect where the time for the radar signal to return is reduced for a speeding car (getting closer) vs the stationary background.\n\nNow meteorologists can use the same doppler principle to detect the movement of rain drops of snow flakes within a storm cloud better predicting the weather, especially rotation that might predict a dangerous tornado.

What is pink eye? How do you get pink eye?

Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)\n \n\nThe conjunctiva is the thin, clear membrane over the white part of the eye; it also lines the eyelids. Inflammation of this membrane is called conjunctivitis. Its common name, pink eye, can refer to all forms of conjunctivitis, or just to its contagious forms.\n\n\nConjunctivitis may be triggered by a virus, bacteria, an allergic reaction (to dust, pollen, smoke, fumes or chemicals) or, in the case of giant papillary conjunctivitis, a foreign body on the eye, typically a contact lens. Bacterial and viral systemic infections also may induce conjunctivitis.

how are cyclones caused?

pics also

For a very good explanation start here:\n\nhttp://clearlyexplained.com/nature/earth/disasters/cyclones.html\n\nIf you want some additional information read on:\n\nCyclones\n\nThe terms "hurricane" and "typhoon" are regionally specific names for a strong "tropical cyclone". A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a non-frontal synoptic scale low-pressure system over tropical or sub-tropical waters with organized convection (i.e. thunderstorm activity) and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation (Holland 1993).\n\nTropical cyclones with maximum sustained surface winds of less than 17 m/s (34 kt, 39 mph) are called "tropical depressions" (This is not to be confused with the condition mid-latitude people get during a long, cold and grey winter wishing they could be closer to the equator ;-)). Once the tropical cyclone reaches winds of at least 17 m/s (34 kt, 39 mph) they are typically called a "tropical storm" and assigned a name. If winds reach 33 m/s (64 kt, 74 mph)), then they are called:\n\n * "hurricane" (the North Atlantic Ocean, the Northeast Pacific Ocean east of the dateline, or the South Pacific Ocean east of 160E)\n * "typhoon" (the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the dateline)\n * "severe tropical cyclone" (the Southwest Pacific Ocean west of 160E or Southeast Indian Ocean east of 90E)\n * "severe cyclonic storm" (the North Indian Ocean)\n * "tropical cyclone" (the Southwest Indian Ocean) \n\nHow they are Caused\n\nGo to this link for a diagram:\n\nhttp://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/A15.html\n\nTo undergo tropical cyclogenesis, there are several favorable pre cursor environmental conditions that must be in place (Gray 1968,1979) :\n\n1. Warm ocean waters (of at least 26.5°C [80°F]) throughout a sufficient depth (unknown how deep, but at least on the order of 50 m [150 ft]). Warm waters are necessary to fuel the heat engine of the tropical cyclone.\n\n2. An atmosphere which cools fast enough with height such that it is potentially unstable to moist convection. It is the thunderstorm activity which allows the heat stored in the ocean waters to be liberated for the tropical cyclone development.\n\n3. Relatively moist layers near the mid-troposphere (5 km [3 mi]). Dry mid levels are not conducive for allowing the continuing development of widespread thunderstorm activity.\n\n4. A minimum distance of at least 500 km [300 mi] from the equator. For tropical cyclogenesis to occur, there is a requirement for non-negligible amounts of the Coriolis force to provide for near gradient wind balance to occur. Without the Coriolis force, the low pressure of the disturbance cannot be maintained.\n\n5. A pre-existing near-surface disturbance with sufficient vorticity and convergence. Tropical cyclones cannot be generated spontaneously. To develop, they require a weakly organized system with sizable spin and low level inflow.\n\n6. Low values (less than about 10 m/s [20 kts 23 mph]) of vertical wind shear between the surface and the upper troposphere. Vertical wind shear is the magnitude of wind change with height. Large values of vertical wind shear disrupt the incipient tropical cyclone and can prevent genesis, or, if a tropical cyclone has already formed, large vertical shear can weaken or destroy the tropical cyclone by interfering with the organization of deep convection around the cyclone center.

Explain the plot in the movie Syriana?

Syriana is a political thriller directed by Stephen Gaghan. Gaghan wrote the screenplay, loosely based on the book See No Evil by Robert Baer. George Clooney stars and was one of the film's executive producers (along with Steven Soderbergh, Ben Cosgrove, and Jeff Skoll).\n\n\nSyriana is a vastly complicated and ambiguous film, with many characters, parralel storylines and information presented to the viewer, often purposely withholding information to add to the effect that the viewer is witnessing real events and "is in the dark" as much as the characters in the movie. The storylines crisscross later on, and in the final stages of the movie, collide violently.

The proof is stated in the Fact that The Prophet Mohammed(Peace Be Upon Him) was ranked #1 In Michael Harts Book \nThe 100:Most Influential People in History because\n"...he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level." Since the Prophet's wife Aisha when asked about him said that he was the walking Quran.\nThis is one of the many evidences which shows the comprehensiveness of Islam. For more evidence go to Whyislam.org

I assume that Oracle 8i was a database application. Oracle 8i has been discontinued but you can get Oracle 10g express edition for free as well just be aware of its limitations:\n\nCan only catalog 4GB of data\nCan only run on one CPU\nOnly has access to 1GB of main memory\n\nIf you're okay with that you can download it here, \nhttp://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/index.html\n\nAs far as I can tell Oracle 8i has been discontinued, at least from Oracle's site anyway.

What is wrong with all the people on here and why are they all such sex-obsessed nuts?

There are so many questions on here that really don't need to be on here. Love and dating is just for that: Love and Dating. If all these Sex questions have a place at all, it is in the "Other" category. Few people are interested in knowing if your boyfriend comes inside your mouth or elsewhere, such is the content of some of these questions. In reality, nobody cares that you have been in bed with 300+ people or none. Very few people have a desire to know that you are gay straight or bi, and I doubt anybody here is placing "peer pressure" on you to go out and have sex for the sake of being "normal" or "socially acceptable" according to them. We are human beings, not rejectable products manufactured at below standard. We should stop sending this type of message around.\n\nAnyone pervert warped and morbid enough to think you should meet their standards or have X dozen sex partners just because they say it's normal should hang out in "Other," where these types of questons should stay.

they're probably little kids who think it's funny. report them. eventually, MAYBE Yahoo! will get the point and find some way to not let those questions be asked, since they are against the guidelines anyway.

Depends on how you define marriage. Also, it has tax benefits and such, so the government doesn't want to legalize gay marriage, apart from the moral interpretations and legal things.

It depends, at least for wind chill. Wind chill is a perception that temperatures are colder than actual and is caused by air movement causing evaporation of persperation; therefor perceptible to living things. However, if one wets a thermometer and exposes it to moving air, it will indicate a temperature colder than one that is not wet. Thermometers are, of course, inanimate.

The new SAT is out of 2400 points, 800 for verbal, 800 for math, and 800 for the "new" writing section, which is really the SAT II Writing put into the test.

8Family & Relationships

Wh am i so unbelievable scared about dating an girl who is 2 years older then me and shes 23 and she has a kid

I'm not sure about the age thing, but I can speak to the kids part. Becoming involved with someone with children has loads of potential pitfalls, but just as many potential rewards. \n\nWhen I was younger and far more naive, I was involved for two years with a girl who had a son. He was only a couple months old when we started dating. We were young, starry-eyed, and I at least had swallowed all the "love conquers all" BS that pop culture abounds with. In short, I believed that we were going to be together forever and I gave my heart to both her and her boy. When I was away at basic training, she was unfaithful and the long and short of it was that when our relationship fell apart, I lost him as well. The last time I ever saw him he was fast asleep, and the last time I ever spoke to him was when I was stuck in basic training, over a pay phone. I stood there listening, knowing that I was losing the most important part of my life, and all he would say over and over again was "Home Dad!" That was back in the dark ages of 1986, nearly twenty years ago, but it was the darkest and most painful time in my life, and it still hurts like hell to think about. \n\nIt was over ten years later that I dated a woman with children again. I was older but no wiser really. Despite thinking in the back of my mind that I should really be careful about this sort of thing, I fell in love with the kids as easily as with the woman I was dating. Just couldn't help it really. They were both girls, 3 and 7 at the time. They were 4 and 8 when I married my wife, and they're 11 and 15 now. I love all three of them with all my heart and they have given me more happiness than anything else in my life, hands down. Nothing comes close to being a father and husband.\n\nThe fact that you are scared is probably a very good thing if it makes you cautious in approaching this relationship. You are opening yourself up to a whole different set of possibilities when becoming involved with someone who has a child, and not just for yourself. Your actions may have a profound impact on the life of that child. Only you know whether you can or should be involved with the child, and just how deeply. Are you willing to be a father if things go right with this woman? How much are you willing to give of your heart and what will you do if things then fall apart? Only you can answer these questions. \n\nThe only solid advice I can give is that if you or the mother aren't capable of placing the child's well-being right at the center of things you should walk away now. That child is much more vulnerable and far more powerless than either you or she, and your actions can have a profound effect on a young life.

Is it possible to tell a breed of dog by DNA? I mean by looking at it and identifying the breed, not the parent.

Yes, recent DNA analysis of purebred dogs suggests that breeds can be discerned with a high degree of accuracy.\n\nI quote:\n"At a DNA level, breeds are a very real concept. Every poodle is more closely related to a poodle than it is to a dog of any other breed," says Elaine Ostrander of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. In the May 21 Science, she and her colleagues describe their analysis of DNA from 85 dog breeds."\n\nFrom: \nhttp://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20040522/fob4.asp\nAlso see:\nhttp://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/05/0520_040520_dogbreeds.html

have you heard of schlerdoma? (spell check)?

From emedicine: Scleroderma is a systemic disease that affects many organ systems. It is most obvious in the skin; however, the gastrointestinal tract, the respiratory, renal, cardiovascular, and genitourinary systems, as well as numerous vascular structures, are involved frequently. The symptoms result from progressive tissue fibrosis and occlusion of the microvasculature by excessive production and deposition of types I and III collagens. Other macromolecules found in the connective tissue (eg, glycosaminoglycans, tenascin, fibronectin) also are increased. The vascular alterations show a predilection for affecting the small arteries, arterioles, and capillaries. The small vessel cytoskeleton is affected by structural defects that lead to collapse. Next, the tight junctions become altered and are no longer functional, allowing the endothelium to slip into the vessel lumen.\n\nFrom webmd: Scleroderma (pronounced SKLEER-oh-der-ma) is Greek for hard skin. It's classified as both a connective-tissue disorder and a rheumatic condition. In scleroderma, the skin gradually tightens and thickens or hardens. It loses its ability to stretch. Tiny blood vessels throughout the body also may be affected, causing widespread damage to the internal organs.

is there any true meaning in astrology?

Astrology, throwing the I-Ching, reading palms and any of the esoteric arts are a way to focus the intuition that all humans have. \n\nJesus said, "All these things that I do, you can do and more, for this is what I leave for you. I leave you a comforter." \n\nWe all have psychic potential, which includes ESP, intuition, empathy. How do we hone this potential and make it work for us? There are many ways to tap intuition, to know information that shouldn't be able to be known. \n\nAstrology and all of the esoteric arts are "training wheels" to a different level of intuition and psychic ability. They are all meant to be set aside once psychic skills are developed. \n\nI do believe that Astrology and other esoteric arts are not in conflict with believing in a Higher Being, it's all related. For wouldn't a loving and merciful God give us the stars to look at, the wrinkles in the palm of our hand to ponder, or see how beans bounced on a checker board floor and still find truth? \n\nThe truth is within us. The truth is our hotline to God's Eye View. \n\nIt's what makes us different from the beasts in the fields. Cats and dogs aren't having this discussion, it's us pesky humans. \n\nSo Astrology can work for those who are seeking to increase their intuition and then toss away the books and find the truth that is within them. \n\nAlso, if one is set to disbelieve all things, then nothing will make sense. If one is set to see the connectiveness of all things then everything makes sense. That's our free will at work. \n\nThe big question is this: No matter what you believe, does it allow you to be peaceful? Does your belief system prepare you for the yawning black mouth of the grave? Sentient creatures know they are mortal. Belief systems are created to deal with the inevitable. \n\nIf so, cool. \n\nIf not, then reviewing what is not working with that belief system is in order.

My son cry all day. How to solve that problem?

My son is 5 years old. He rarely communicate with others. He likes his parents most. But he alway distuct me by countless problem, such as: You draw something for me... you read a book for me...If I refuse,he start cry and shout. What I shoud do now? Thank you very much.

I have a 6 year old boy. you are not alone. Kids are smart and they quickly learn how to get their way if the parents allow. Try to sit down just you and him, in a place where there is nothing to distract him, and talk to him. Don't stand over him since kids find that intimidating but look at him at eye level. Let him know how much you enjoy doing things with him but there is a time and place for everything. Kids need boundaries, and the crying is most likely a way of him getting what he wants. When it comes to behavior don't bribe him, but reward him. When he cries, I know it's hard, but LET HIM CRY. Say he doesn't cry for a while or doesn't start a tantrum, tell him how well behaved he is, and give him a little treat, cookie, stickers, extra 15 minutes watching tv. It is important to be positive towards a child. Kids are always looking for approval specially from parents and believe me you will see little changes. Remember you are the parent not his friend. he has to respect you and the fact that you are the adult.\nAs to the anti-social, try to bring him around other kids more often like the playground, or mcdonnalds playcenter, places like that. Even if he doesn't go off and play with them, he will watch and see how much the others are having fun, and soon enough he will want to play too.

How are the nights of Hanukkah determined?

Is it different every year? And if so, how do they figure out which eight nights are Hanukkah?

Hanukkah begins on the 25th of Kislev, which is the ninth month of the Jewish year. Since the Jewish calendar is lunar, it does not correspond with the western calendar and falls on a different solar day each year. \nThere are resources to see how the dates correspond.

Respiratory Therapy--can you tell me what the job is like?

I'm wanting to go back to school for Respiratory Therapy, but would like some input into what the job is like.

I have been a registered respiratory therapist for 17 years now. The job can be very stressful depending on which type of facility that you work in. You must have a strong stomach because some of the things that we do can be quite disgusting; such as tracheostomy care and suctioning sputum. The job can also be extremely tiring physically because of all the standing and walking within the hospital. The nursing field pays a little better. One thing that does bother me is that the nurses seem to have some direction over the therapist when it comes to the patient and sometimes try to overide our decisions. Overall, it has been a good career but I don't think I would go back into the field again if I could do it over.

It has lots of good and detailed content, and gives an impression of maturity.\n\nAnother site to consider is http://www.answers.com/ , which combines dictionaries, wikipedia, and other sources to provide information on words and topics.

where did aids come from?

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which causes AIDS, is very similar to Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) that infects monkeys and apes. \n\nHIV/AIDS most likely began when a monkey or ape infected with SIV bit a human and infected the human with SIV. The SIV virus then mutated into HIV, which was better suited to infect humans.

Anybody remember the SNORKS?

I know the SNORKS weren't as popular as the SMURFS, but what is the name of the main SNORK and his lady friend?

The Snorks was a comic book created by Belgian Freddy Monnickendam in 1974. "Snorks", the titular characters are a race of small, colorful, fictional beings that live in the underwater world of Snorkland. The comic was later adapted by Hanna-Barbera Productions into an American Saturday morning cartoon, which ran on NBC from 1984 to 1988. The cartoon was a mild success, compared to the popularity of Hanna-Barbera's The Smurfs (another adaptation from a Belgian comic).\n\nThe Snorks have snorkels on their heads, which are used to propel them swiftly through the water. When a Snork becomes excited his tube makes a "snork" sound. Like the Flintstones or the Smurfs, they have much of the same technology as humans, adapted to their own aquatic environment.\n\nThe main characters of this cartoon are:\n\nAllstar Seaworthy \nCasey Kelp, the pretty red-headed girlfriend of Allstar. \nDaphney \nTooter, who speaks only in "toots" \nOccy, the octopus, the best friend of the Allstar \nJo-jo, the strong and bold, and the only one with two snorkels. \nJunior Wetworth, the conceited and snobby son of Governor Wetworth (governor of Snorkland), is their foe. \nContrary to popular belief, The Snorks was not based upon The Smurfs, although both originated in the same geographical area.\n\nThe Snorks made a brief cameo in the fourth season of the animated series Family Guy, where two Snorks appeared in a sexually suggestive gag.

what is the best way to look for a job on the internet? will i get good results?

i have been looking a job on the internet for months now with no luck what am i doing wrong

The best way is to go each company's website you want to apply to after you find their posting on yahoo jobs or monster. Then, follow their instructions on their own webpage. Most companies keep their own website up-to-date and not the mass job websites. Also, try searching for job sites that specialize in the area you are interested in. For example, teaching jobs have tons of their own websites.

radar teachnology?

Radar sends out a radio signal that bounces off an object and returns to the radar station. The radar detector can determine the distance to an object by the very slight delay between the outgoing signal and the return signal that travel at the speed of light. The direction to the object can be determined by the azimuth of the radar screen (direction the signal was sent).\n\nState police can use a radar device to detect the speed of a moving car because of the doppler effect where the time for the radar signal to return is reduced for a speeding car (getting closer) vs the stationary background.\n\nNow meteorologists can use the same doppler principle to detect the movement of rain drops of snow flakes within a storm cloud better predicting the weather, especially rotation that might predict a dangerous tornado.

what is the work of eyebrows?

help!!!!!!

While I think in the past scientific thought was that the eyebrows shaded the eyes and protected them from sweat, what I see is that they are critical for non-verbal communication.\n\nIn a hunter-gatherer society, men hunting could communicate across distances silently with head and facial gestures. Eyebrows emphasize and exaggerate the actions of the muscles around the eyes. Consider Spock's one raised eyebrow or Groucho Marx's leering waggle.

To start a career in software development, should i go for .net or J2EE?

I have not worked a lot in both technologiesbut familiar with object oriented stuff and C.

definitely .net, as a start, .net programmers average higher salary than j2ee. other reason: .net uses a standard visual studio.net tool which is easy to use and standardized also with the help of MSDN library which has all the solution if your stuck somewhere. while j2ee has several tools and each has its pros and cons which would probably delay your career start with confusion of selecting the best tools. since your familiar with C it would be much easier if you start with visual c++.net, also java uses quite different syntax and concept it would make it harder for you. both are object oriented.

Who invented rifled weaponry?

The truth is no one really invented rifiling. It is all a matter of aerodynamics. This was first seen on the fletchings of an arrow. The fletchings cause the arrow to twist and thus become more accurate. \n It took 3 brilliant gun smiths to put 2 and 2 together. However each one of them worked separetly and could have even been considered enemies.\n\nMessrs Charles Lancaster (1820-78), William Armstrong (1810-1900) and Joseph Whitworth (1803-87). \n\nHowever, the rifling principle was discovered in 1498. The only reason why they are considered the forefathers of rifiling is that they created cost effective ways to make the riflings in the barrels.

what is the cheapest easiest fastest way to promote an affiliate website?

I don't have money that's why I am trying to make some. When I do searches to try to help me... I keep getting alot of crap. and no sales? I actually have something worth buying and using. I use it myself (packet8) and it saves me alot of money ..www.telebay.com/bestfone

One of the cheapest, easiest, and fastest ways to promote an affiliate program is through writing articles and submitting them to article directories with a signature link at the end of your article or links within the article itself.\n\nOne of the easiest and fastest (but not cheapest) ways to promote an affiliate program is through Google AdWords.\n\nCreate a Google AdWords account and launch a campaign, targetted to people looking for information on VoIP and services like packet8. Your ads will go live within a few hours and click throughs can mean sales. This is one of the fastest and simplest ways to get traffic :).\n\nAnd a bit of advice.. Affiliate marketing takes work. Once you get started you have to keep it up. Many MANY people get involved in affiliate marketing all the time, but so few actually stay involved and keep working at it. Keep up the good work!\n\n-Jonathan

how does deforesatation cause flood and droughts?

There are several ways that these things can happen. The droughts can be brought on by increased tempurature. My geography teacher once showed us infrared pictures of the same area of rainforrest, one before the trees were cut down and one after. The result was a tempurature increase. A drought could also be caused becasue a of a decrese in transpiration (process of trees giving off water from their leaves). As for flooding I don't really know, but errosing increases because there are no longer tree roots to hold the soil together.

How can I copy a DVD on a PC w/ just one DVD drive?

I'd like to duplicate a DVD of play performance my daughter was in (not copy protected). Can I do that on a computer w/ one DVD R/W drive? If so, how?

Since it's not copy protected, this is VERY EASY. Simply make a folder on your hard drive and then copy the contents of your DVD into this folder. Then using an application that burns DVD-Video (such as Nero) create a compilation and then drag the contents of VIDEO_TS into the VIDEO_TS folder in your "DVD-Video" compilation and then burn the disc. To reiterate, make sure you create a DVD-Video compilation, not a DVD-ISO/UDP/Boot disc, etc. Most burning software will check the compilation to make sure that it is DVD-Video compliant and let you know if there are any problems with compatibility.
