who's better: terry bozzio or vinnie colaiuta?? these guys are so incredible. it's hard to imagine two drummers better then this. who's better??? frank zappa always had the best drummers. i like bozzio's taste in music better myself. checkout "polytown" with mick karn and david torn. i think it's some of bozzio's best work. bill bruford's my favorite drummer.

is the us dollar dead? what will you do when neocons replace the us dollar with the amero? neocons are meeting with canada and mexico to create a three country government with a new currency, but without the input of us citizens. do you "approve of this message"? (now you know the real reason why neocons don't care if illegals stay in the us without papers, and why real republicans want the neocons out.) http://www.thoughtmechanics.com/2006/10/25/dollar-is-dead-long-live-amero/ you're insane. thanks for the laugh! -aztec276

low on virtual memory? what does it mean when my computer says this, and how am i supposed to fix it? what is it? when all the ram is being used (for example if there are many programs open at the same time) the computer will swap data to the hard drive and back to give the impression that there is slightly more memory. the best thing to do is to buy more memory, not the most cost effective, but the best. if you are running xp, you can also goto start->run-> "msconfig". click on the startup tab and there should be a bunch of junk such as oem software, just look and play around. make sure you don't turn off spyware, virus, or firewalls.

math story problem? i want to make sure this is right.. . a virus scanning program is checking every file for viruses. it has completed checking 40% of the files in 300 seconds. how long should it take to check all the files? rate = 40% base = 300 0.04 x 300 = 120 one hour and 20 minutes this scan will take. unfortunately as all files are not of equal size, it is not possible to predict or calculate the answer. however otherwise it will be 300*100/40 seconds

are hiccups contagious? this is the only real way to instantly cure the hiccups! look no further! the hughes/green method cure's the hiccups every time guaranteed! you will be amazed! hundreds of instantly cured hiccuper's have sent in their testimony's of deliverance! files are available for researchers! carefully understand both the how and the why of this method. if you don't get the why you might not get the how. here's how to cure the hiccups: "hughes/green hiccups cure"© 1997 (1) pour a tall glass of water. (2) hold your breath... *** (3) important...pinch your nose closed. (4) slowly, take 10 - 20 swallows of the water...while holding your breath with your nose pinched closed. (5) when you can't stand it any more....you'll know by that overwhelming drowning sensation -- after a gasp, take a deep breath and relax. this cures the hiccups 99 percent of the time - guaranteed! it's a proven medical remedy! (a second treatment could be necessary for stubborn cases.) *** for stubborn cases, try exhaling completely and then taking 10 - 20 swallows. now: here's why it works: hiccups are caused by an uncontrollable spasm in the diaphragm, (the "breathing" muscle). often, this spasm is triggered by irritable conditions in the smooth muscles of the stomach or the esophagus. the "hughes/green hiccups cure" forces an increase in the carbon dioxide levels in the diaphragm itself, as well as in the stomach and esophagus. by swallowing, you are making the muscles work -- so they use up their available oxygen and replace it with carbon dioxide. by temporarily discontinuing to breath, you prohibit new oxygen from entering your body and thus create an anaerobic condition in the spasming diaphragm muscle. when the spasming diaphragm and stomach are deprived temporarily of oxygen and encounter the higher levels of carbon dioxide ... you feel that scary drowning sensation! but this causes the spasming muscles to relax! the hiccups go away! essentially, you are "tricking" your body into thinking that it's drowning ... and it decides to use it's resources for something other than hiccuping. the rather "scary" drowning sensation caused by this method is necessary for the method to work. if it's not just a little bit difficult ... it doesn't work.

girls! my man came home from the war and broke up with me! what would you do? he said that he's too stressed mentally to be in a relationship, but he still manages to call when he wants some a$$ and gets mad when i don't give it up! i want to know.....w.w.y.d? wow. i am sorry. it sounds like he had a hell of a time over seas and isn't quite home mentally yet. it really sucks that he broke up with you, but you don't live in a house with a swinging door. tell him that you'd like to work on your relationship with him, but don't attack him. i'm sure he's had enough attacks on him over the last 6-18 months. but... also let him know that you can't just be around for sex. he needs time to heal his mind. the best thing you can do right now is to give him all the time he needs. just don't get played. don't have sex with him anymore whether he gets mad or not.

do you think the present adminstration is corrupt? is the george bush adminstation more corrupt then any you can remember? does it compare with the nixon group or is this just a part of politics? i don't think it's anymore corrupt than any other administration, especially the clinton administration. people refuse to look back and see what bush has had to deal with, terrorist attacks, many terrible natural disasters. he's had a lot of lack to pick up. i think you have to remember that when you look at what he's done in office.

how can i lower the interest rates on my credit cards? i have cut up my cards, but paying way too much in interest. can't affors the payments. the best way to lower your rates is simply to ask. when you call the credit card company tell them that you have been looking at other credit cards with lower rates and you were wondering if they would match it. if they say no to that, ask to speak with their supervisor and ask them the same thing. then if that doesnt work switch to another with a lower rate and transfer your debt to that one. also, im not sure if a lot of people know this. but the reason that the rates got so high in the first place is usually due to late payments. so the best way to keep your rate low in the first place is to always make your payments on time. they can start to jack up the rates with as little as one late payment and they dont need to give you notice. hope that helps you

is coffee bad for you? i was wondering if coffee is bad for you?> can anyone help me with this? usa today states: “although psychological dependence on caffeine has yet to be widely documented, a physical dependence upon the drug is very evident. caffeine dependence can be seen if a person consumes as little as 100 mg. a day, and then tries to stop taking in caffeine. usa today continues that withdrawal symptoms, “which includes headache, fatigue, inability to concentrate, and even nausea and vomiting, can be experienced by those trying to kick the habit. the marie claire magazine writes, “women who consume 250 mg of caffeine daily (that's two to three cups of coffee) have been shown to take slightly longer to conceive, and that, “during pregnancy, consuming the caffeine in five or more cups of coffee a day doubles your risk of miscarriage." coffee also dehydrates you rapidly, one cup of coffee needs 2-3 glasses of water to replace the fluid. having said that i drink about 6-8 cups a day and i'm still alive. but i do drink, smoke, drive a car...etc all things that are gonna kill you a lot quicker and do much more harm

not to long ago i heard a rumor and lots of talk that they found an actual frozen dragon. could this be real? mythical dragon yes, in china i believe. do remember, though, that the difference between a dragon and a dinosaur may essentially be nil (although my nephew knows that a dinosaur has its hands included in its wings, but a dragon has wings and arms!). i sincerely doubt that the fossil they found was an animal that breathed fire.

can i pass a drug swab / saliva test if have'nt smoked in 3 days?, p.s. regular user? yes there is a way to pass that saliva swab test, although i do not know first hand, my nephew who works in vegas where they swab & hair folicle test told me how he passed it. if i write it down here will they print it? because of the ethic's you see, people are not supposed to pass if they use anything thats controlled or illegal. oh well, here goes nothing, try a peroxide oral mouth rinse perio check is one brand (this stuff tastes so nasty) if you totally use a lot of it & rinse with it for a long time, without using water afterwards + again & try to keep a little residue in your mouth / cheek or put a few drops in a piece of rolled up gum don't bite into it until right before they swab you. it just might work, g/luck. (maybe my lawyer will call me, now! lol)

what is the best dirty joke you ever heard? its not too dirty but this one cracked me up the three wishes so a guy walks into a bar and orders a drink. the bartender notices how strong and muscular he is but notices his rather small head. so he asks the guy what's up with that. so the guy begins to tell his story, well last week when i was taking a walk into the woods i heard someone crying for help near a stream. to my amazement it was a frog. she told me to give her a kiss and i would be granted three wishes. seeing i had nothing to lose i kissed her.all of a sudden she turned into a beautiful naked woman. she goes you now have three wishes. i looked down at my scrawny 115 pound body and said. i want a body like arnold swarzenneger. then i suddenly had a body like his but because it was much bigger than my clothes they ripped off and i was standing there naked. she said two more wishes well i looked at her beautiful body and said i want to make passionate love to you. so we did that for a couple of hours. then she replied one more wish and i sead....how about a little head? lol

what are some good ways to meet new people? i never miss an opportunity to talk to someone. for instances your waiting in line at the grocery store, after looking at what they are checking out with, you could say "that looks good, have you tried it before"? a very outgoing friend taught me this. i have become a different person and continue to do this. in time you will get better at it. you will meet the most interesting people and build confidence in talking to strangers. use your imagination. we spend a lot of time just waiting, doctor's office and etc. you can do it and will reap the many benefits.

if your child was hit by another child at school, & the school didn't do anything about it, what would you do? if you have contacted the school district, and have spoken to the school board members, then i suggest you contact your state's office of the superintendent of instruction and tell them that you will be having your lawyer contact them if they do not take action. bullying is a very serious issue and many states have strict laws against it. do not let this go unaddressed.

describe two examples of vestigial structures taht you can find among the caminalcules? describe two examples of vestigial structures that you can find among the caminalcules. these are structures that have been reduced to the point that they are virtually useless. ear muscles and the tail bones are examples of vestigial structures in our own species. explain how vestigial structures provide clues about a species’ evolutionary past. illustrate your argument with vestigial while some extant species of caminalcules show clear vestigial features, these same features are not vestigial in all of the caminalcules. in some lineages, the structures have become modified into functional structures, or remain in the ancestral (primitive) state. which of the fourteen extant species or fifty-seven fossil species of caminalcules are you referring to? without comparing those species to the other species or fossil forms it is impossible to determine which structures are vestigial.

part 2, if a juvenile and a deliquent are two separate things then why do we have juvenile deliquents? as relating to my previous question, on juveniles and deliquents, why do we have a term in use that is an oxymoron, if you don't understand read my previous question. now either a person is a juvenile, and so not capable of fully understanding the outcomes of his or her actions, or they are a deliquent, fully understanding the outcome of their actions, so how can a person be both ignorant and fully aware of the consequences of a criminal action? if you believe the term is correct please justify. the term is used for "juveniles" who are "delinquents". :-)

why is it socially acceptable for middle easterners walk around in the street with ak47s? and america is considered violent? how many times have you seen some a$$hole in the middle east waving around huge rifle, chanting some gibberish while burning an american flag? not only that, but they fire randomly into the sky...watch out, you might hit allah. don't these people realize that bullets follow a parabolic arch, and those bullets are going to land somewhere, and inside a person's head is not a fargone conclusion? everyone in america should be allowed to carry a gun. wow, this question seems to have brought all the crazies out of the woodwork. people who claim that they carry the guns around because we are "at war" with iraq and afghanistan simply have no clue what they are talking about. they did the same thing long before either war ever started and middle easterners in other countries do the same thing. they carry them to parties and celebrations and enjoy waving them in the air. that has absolutely nothing to do with the us presence in the area. they would do the same thing even if we weren't there. on the other hand, people are abducted and executed in iraq and afghanistan every day by radical muslims who don't want their governments to stabilize. the real problem is the terrorists, not the us military. when the common citizens of iraq have to fear being pulled over and executed by terrorists on the way to work, to prayer, or to get groceries, i don't blame them at all for carrying weapons. however, don't fool yourself into believing that it only happens in iraq and afghanistan. it is common elsewhere in the middle east as well. another thing to point out is that shooting into the air at celebrations is common in other parts of the world, including the us. some of my uncles and cousins used to do it at midnight on new year's. it is much like the tradition of shooting off fireworks. if it makes a loud bang, some people like it. personally, i think it is rather stupid. the reason i feel that way is that the falling bullets do kill people. in the us, the pratice is most common in rural areas and hence there are few people to be hit. however, in the middle east guns are often shot into the air at large celebrations in the city. the people shooting into the air are often in the midst of large crowds. with a higher density of people in the area, it shouldn't be surprising that more casualties result.

i need help choosing wine! first date and she told me to bring the wine. can you help? i met a beautiful woman and we will be going on a picnic first date friday. she told me to bring the wine and i know nothing about wine. any advice? what would be a good choice and then how do i handle the wine? chill it? what type of glasses would be appropriate too? thanks for your help!! don't be afraid to ask for help, or for an opinion. most wine shops and wine sections of supermarkets and chain stores have someone familiar with the characteristics of the wines they sell. determine the price range you can afford. ask the wine staff to give you some suggestions in your price range. it will help the staff tailor their suggestions if you can give them information about your preferences. do you prefer red, white, or rosé? do you like sweeter wines or drier wines? do you like lighter wines or wines that are more full bodied? if you don’t know, they can suggest a wide range of wines to try so you can determine what you like. the best way to learn about wine is to taste it. there are no “right” or “wrong” wines. some wine shops offer tastes of wine. it is a great way to experiment and learn about a variety of wines without the commitment of buying a bottle.

fundamental of integration problems? lets say that i have a set of table of rate pollutants escape and time. i have counted the overestimate and underestimate of this value which is 74 and 59. let's say i have a question of how often would measurements have to be made to find overestimates and underestimates which differ by less than 1 ton from the exact quantity of pollutants that escape during the first 6 months??? i haven't got a clue what you are talking about, but the fundamental theorem of calculus is that differentiation and integration are the reverse process of each other. this link between differentiation and integration is what newton and leibniz discovered independently in the late 1600's. there is a common mis-conception that newton and leibniz invented calculus, but calculus dates right back to the greeks and eudoxus and his method of exhaustion is the earliest form of integration. i think you need to re-word your question if you want some productive help.

do i have any rights to refuse paying my bank for charges they make against me? i owe my bank £2500,£500 of which is from bank fees that they charge me when a company tries to take a direct debit payment but theres no money in my account. the bank dont pay these companies yet send me a letter charging £30 for it. is there anything i can do to avoid paying this £500 worth of fabricated charges? as far as i can see im being fined for nothing,the bank didnt loose out,the companies did so it seems like im being blatantly mugged. best thing to do is kindly talk to your bank and explain the situation and hope for the best it may depend on your history with the bank if you have a good reputation you may be all good but your going to have to replace the money that was taken out

can wearing plastic wrap as a body wrap help you to burn fat? people pay for body wraps at salons. all they do is wrap whatever part you wish to melt fat off. then you have to lay in a warm heater. i don't know if it burns fat, but i do know it causes you to lose water. i also know, if you are riding motorcycles, and it starts raining, and you don't have any leathers, that it works great under your clothes to keep you warm... but again, it makes you sweat.

when people chose your answer as the best-? do you think they chose it b/c they really think it is the best or because it is what they want to hear? if it's a fact, we want facts, if it's a personal question it's hard to win, b/c that person wants to hear other people tell them they're right, not get brow beaten to the other side of their argument. from the categories, i go to, travel wants a mixture of truth & opinion ie (should i go to moldova, honestly heck no, but if you're from there, sure why not?) society & culture is funny b/c even if it's the best written answer if you're fighting a fanatic (racist, ethnocentric, kook etc) you'll still lose. politics at time is looking for good rationale to win. news & events just wants a strong opinion with a good sense of humor. and my favorites!!! love & romance/ parenting is the worse!!! nobody honestly wants the truth, i have seen questions where women/men have asked, 'my man slept with 10 women, 1 man & a goat, should i stay?" heeeelll no!! but then the best answer is the one that makes them feel good & stay. or from parenting, "my child beats up a bunch of kids, should i stop him from doing it?" uh... yes. all said & done, each question has a reason/rational that when you see it, your response seems so simple, but if you asked, you wouldn't follow a bunch of ideas from people you don't know? i know i wouldn't... to a point.

who originated the phrase "if you can't beat them, join them"? i found this referenced to "wise words and wives' tales: the origins, meanings and time-honored wisdom of proverbs and folk sayings olde and new" by stuart flexner and doris flexner (avon books, new york, 1993)...... if you can't lick (beat)them, join them this was first recorded by the american writer quentin reynolds in 'the wounded don't cry' (1941). there's an old political adage which says 'if you can't lick 'em, jine 'em.' a few years later, holger cahill used the alternative form, 'if you can't beat them...' in 'look south to the polar star' (1947)..."

can you name a candidate who had to change his/her stance on an issue to win the primary? its usually more subtle than that. a candidate might choose their words cautiously to avoid being pinned down on specifics may make general comments that make them to appear in favor of or against a particular issue. depending on their audience. for example a candidate might say "i am for secure borders and against amnesty" in one breath and then say something like "i am in favor of a guest worker program" in the next. this appears contradictory but its all in the words. they play the word game to quote an infamous politician "it depends on what the meaning of is, is". its easy to see why politicians are not trusted.

period problem... wish we could live without it!? im need to work out exactly when my next period is due. my question is.. "when working out your cycle do you include the day you got your period on the last month or do you go from the next day? eg: got on 28/10/06.. so do i include the 28/10/06 to work out when im due or do i go from the 29/10/06? this is serious so only answer if your sure plz! thanks go from the date that your last periods ended. how many days did this one last? take this into consideration. the best way to generally predict when you will have a period (this works only if your cycles are normal): study your cycles for the next 4 months---i'll help you with this question in a minute...don't freak. mark the start and stop date of each period. how many days were there from the stop date of the last period to the start date of the next one? is there a fairly consistent number (ie: 21, 23, etc.)? start, counting the last day of your last cycle, and count that many days up. you'll be close, if not on target. follow this formula with the period you're concerned about. i used to do this before i entered peri menopause where nothing is predictible because my body is trying to go into menopause (i'm not trying to scare you...i'm just letting you know that this is what you'll face later in life---all women do unless they've had partial or total hystorectomies before the peri menopause/menopause phase of their lives.).

christians: are you proud of your religious leader george w. bush? he has personal conversations with god.... so he knows the right things to do. do you believe that? do you enjoy hearing about thousands of our people dying in iraq (not to mention the tens of thousands of innocent iraqis dying in collatoral damage)? why or why not? why do you assume all christians are supporters of george w bush? many christians who believe in christ and follow his word believe in the democratic platform of helping the downtrodden, sick, poor, and weak, and definitely do not believe we should be in iraq because of all of the meaningless death it has caused. don't assume christian means republican. there is a large sect of christians who reside on the left.

where does testosterone come from? i mean how does that body make it? what body parts make it? it is made by the testes, ovaries and adrenal glands in adult. in the embryo, it is made by the primitive gonadal streak, iirc; i may have the name wrong. that sets up a positive feedback loop, that makes the gonads turn into testes instead of ovaries. testes make a lot more t than ovaries do, so once they form, you are heading to be a male! if the adrenals malfunction, making too much t, you end up as "intersex"; your secondary sexual characteristics will be intermediate between male + female. after menopause, women get by on even less t that we do in our reproductive years, with some nasty effects... :-( fat makes some oestrogen; we do not just get oestrogen from our ovaries and adrenals. i am not sure if fat can make t. the steroid hormones do inter - convert a bit in the body; they are very similar, chemically, and all derive from cholesterol.

where can i buy condoms that fit wide penis as normal ones don't fit very well? my man has to use magnums, this is the large sized condom offered at most stores lighten up ladies, i know it sounds like bull and just some big headed dude talking about his stuff, but it is true. my man has this problem and the other condoms, although they can stretch to a huge size, they do cut off circulation when they are put on the penis and causes the erection to go limp. the magnums helped allot but now i just use birth control. and yes we are married and monogamous.

too much pressure on studies how can i make my self study ? i dont study a bit but my mind doesnt how can i make it understand? i think that you need to be interested in what you are doing in order for your brain to acknowlege the information you try to feed it. its a very complicated issue which needs dedicated attention which only you can decide on. other than that all i can suggest is make sure that your diet has enough viamins & minerals which stimulate brain activity. i aslo think that you should start convincing yourself as to what is more important in life & that will make studying easier. good luck

what causes a very late period? my period came 3 months late. what are the possible causes? stress, rapid weight loss or gain, illness, drugs (certain tranquilizers) may have disrupted cycle. pregnancy if you're on a birth control pill - brand is too low in estrogen - or if you've stopped bcp body hasn't yet adjusted to life off the pill; see doctor if periods don't resume in 3 months missed ovulation (no egg released from ovary) i'd probably see a doctor if you haven't been on any sort of birth control and haven't had a period in 3 months.

did french kissing actually begin in france? according to blondie it's best to do it in the usa but that's beside the point. don't know why but i have a feeling you would definitely know this already... my theory (and possibly the most logical one) is that a) i'm sure people have been 'french kissing' for eons but named it this somewhere in the early 19th/late 18th century b) they named it 'french kissing' because the french are seen as being a notriously randy and sensual people - the same as the 'french letter' (condom). this is a cultural stereotype and not true in all cases - but is in some...and that's the last i'll say on the topic. ; )

i need to know a number that is divisible by 2 3 4 5 6 9 10? a common multiple of 2,3,4,5,6,9 and 10 is 64800. but that is not the lowest common multiple which would be a preferable answer. the lowest common multiple is the smallest of the common multiples of a given set of numbers, 2 = 2 x 1 3 = 3 x 1 4 = 2 x 2 5 = 5 x 1 6 = 2 x 3 9 = 3 x 3 10= 2 x 5 their lowest common multiple would be 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 = 180 180 would be the most ideal answer

chronically dislocating shoulder? my left shoulder chrinically dislotates. dislocates backwards then forwards. they are going to fix it on tuesday, but if that doen't work they might do a shoulder fusion. either that or leave it dislovcated. oh gosh i hope it doesn't come to that. does anybody know about shoulder fusions? it would have very limited range of motion and would be fused. never saw one of these done before. it seems once fused your rom is going to be limited. i suspect that it will also affect your strength as well. i guess that's better than having a chronicly dislocated shoulder. i personally sublux my shoulder and it hurts to the point of passing out but as with subluxations it eventually slips into place again. good luck, i hope the surgery improves your situation. http://www.wheelessonline.com/ortho/arthrodesis_of_the_shoulder

would you want the cheating barry bonds on your team ? btw i feel the same about mcguire , sosa and palmiero among others - try to imagine yourself working all your life to get where you are and then someone else just injects themselves with an illegal substance and surpasses you ..it's a joke that they get away with it. i would not want bonds on my team due to the steroid questions that surround him. i would not want bonds on my team due to his attitude. i would not want bonds on my team due to his age. i would not want bonds on my team due to his recent performances. i would not want bonds on my team due to his salary demands. *kurt c - bonds did cheat, he basically has admitted that the substances he thought were harmless, were probably the 'cream' and 'clear' i.e. steroids. the question is whether he knowingly used them, which he says he would never do. and honestly for signing bonds, it makes no difference, it is a distraction the team can do without.*
