how much do you think one could get for a photo of a us president in an embarrasing posture during election yr details: president of the united states with his head on his wife's shoulder much like one would see on dawson's creek. very much like when katie holmes character leans on dawson's shoulder and the theme music comes up. remember, this is during a time of war and an election year. there are tears in the president's eyes. do you think the government should have the right to seize such a photo as it could jeopardize national security? i thought you had something good. this picture would show that he's human with feelings just like anybody else. | 8 |
do you understand the trinitys' role in salvation according to the bible? read below.? 1. the father chooses before the foundation of the world those who will be saved (the elect). ephesians 1:1-12 (esp 1:4) 2. the father gives these ones (the elect) to the son to save. john 6:37-40. 3. the son dies for those (elect) the father has given him and looses none, but raises them all up at the last day. john 6:39-40,44. 4. the holy spirit applies to the heart (of those the father has given the son and the son has died for and saved) the work of christ so that they respond to the gospel at the appointed time and their salvation is realized. john 14 5. those the father has not chosen and given to the son will never be saved but remain in their rebellion and unbelief and be eternally lost. yup, u've pretty much got it covered. and no i don't understand, but i don't want to, i mean that would pretty much suck if the god of the entire everything had the same mental compacity as me... | 0 |
is it worth taking an extra major in my degree? i'm concurrently working towards a bachelor of science in psychology and a bachelor of science in english literature. recently i've discovered that i can fit in another arts major in linguistics (which i am interested in) & finish my degree in the same time frame. i'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with triple majors? if so, did this effect the quality of your grades in any of your majors? was it fulfilling, or an exercise in supreme disaster? no one knows you better than yourself. you know how much you can commit to. you should know how you will achieve your goals with some kind of a plan. if you are going to finish this third degree in the same time frame & you can afford it, then hey go for it. it will make you more marketable. | 3 |

does medicare cover elder home care? my mother is coming out of rehab and she will need help at home. is there anything medicare or medicaid covers? i know medicaid does my mom had it when she had some type of surgery and she is diabetic and handicapped. medicare might cover some of it, but they are more likely to cover it in a skilled nursing home.. on what the other person answered. you need to call her medicaid.. if you are the guardian for her for her care. i would suggest calling them and seeing if they will cover it. if you take her to a nursing home(skilled) the people in the office will help you fill out all the information with you. they did that with my husbands mother she has dementia.. alzhmiers and its bad. it was a hard decision, but it was for her safety as well as ours. medicaid and medicare covers all of his mothers needs. | 2 |
i would like know know why most guys act the same way.? i want to know why most guys treat women like sh*t. they cheat, lie, hit, yell and everything else to a women and then they say that they love that women when they just did all that stuff to hurt her. why are most guys like that? it is usually due to the way they were raised. if their mother/father never taught them to respect women then they most likely wont. i have also seen it due to the fact that the mother allows their kid to do whatever. they see that everything he does is good and never punish him for his action so they grow up thinking they can treat women any way they want. they become very selfish and remain a baby their entire life. fortunately i was raised with a strong mother who made me respect women. | 8 |
what does "ad hominem" mean? simply put, it's an appeal to another person's pity in order to win an argument. most common examples are "have you no heart?" or "don't you feel pity towards them if you insist on blah-blah-blah?" or when you're arguing with someone, and that someone starts crying (so you give in). it's a fallacy to use such an argument in a serious, formal debate. | 3 |
quels sont selon vous les joueurs les plus laids du mondial 2006 ? on a pris l'habitude de voir dans une certaine presse les plus beaux specimens des sélections nationales dans de plus ou moins suggestives poses, montrant parfois un torse dessiné, des avant-bras massifs ou des pecs impecs. mais quid des professionnels du ballon rond peu gâtés par dame nature ? quels sont ceux qui, malgré leur prestations sur le terrain et leurs comptes en banque, n'ont pas la moindre chance de finir aux bras d'un top-model parce que, décidément, ils sont trop laids ? merci d'avance pour vos réponses. cette question est vraiment nulle et aussi la personne qui l'a mise sur le tapis car tous les hommes sont crées a l'image de dieu. je te demande de réfléchir avant de lancer une autre question idiotte. | 5 |
can i set a time for my computer to shutdown automatically? i have a habit of staying up late on my computer and i find it hard to make myself go to bed, i was wondering if there is a way to set my computer so that it shuts down by itself at a certain time. yes you can without downloading anything. in notepad create new txt document. in the first line type "shutdown.exe -s" without the quotes. save the txt file as "poweroff.bat". you can name it something else, but do not name it "shutdown.bat". then from here, go to start --> programs --> accessories --> system tools --> task scheduler. once in the task scheduler, create a new scheduled task and point it to the "poweroff.bat" file and schedule a time when you want it to run. | 4 |

acutal and estimated eps? where can i find a site that shows actual and esitmated eps event calender on a daily basis? a site that is updated so much it is almost live would be best. thanks! sorry, but you're not going to find anything on a daily basis. the companies and analysts just don't issue such information that frequently. actual earnings are usually released quarterly, and any estimates are updated as the analysts review the stocks -- which may be monthly, quarterly, or even less often depending on the stock. in fact, many companies don't even have estimated earings because they aren't large enough for the analysts to have coverage on them. all of the major services have actual and estimated earnings for companies wth analyst coverage -- yahoo, msn, reuters, advfn, business week online, morningstar, etc. however, two that are most oriented towards earnings: http://www.earnings.com http://www.zacks.com | 6 |

did patrick dempsey have a nose job? he sure looks a lot different today than he did back in can't buy me love! i don't think his nose got smaller- i think he just grew into it... "can't buy me love" was in 1987, in 1993 he looked great playing jfk, and by 2003 ("sweet home alabama") he was officially gorgeous! | 7 |

human normal temperature? please tell me the normal human body temperature and also tell me that temperature which causes a human sick. 36.5°c or 97.7 f is the normal human body temperature. temperatures equal and higher than 37.5°c or 99.5 f means that there is sth wrong with you. | 2 |
what can you do to improve yo memory? ma memory is getting worse and worse, is there anything to help? teas...pills....reading????? blackberry sage tea, peppermint tea...both help. bananas (potassium) helps.ginkgo baloba. ginkgo baloba is expensive, if it is quality, but it does help with memory loss and retention. also, i would start taking a high octaine multivitamin...like alive multivitamins. they usually help with all around functioning. maybe your memory loss is a nutritional deficiency, which alive will fix. | 2 |
how do i treat "tennis elbow'? first, try to treat it before it has become chronic. once it takes hold, it's really hard to get rid of it without long-term rest--as much as 6 months. otherwise, here are some treatments that work: ice the elbow immediately after use. use a tennis elbow band--the one i know works well is bandit. i've used several and that one really is effective. do stretching exercises. a good one is to put a reasonably thick rubber band around your fingers and stretch them outwards. do various extension/flexion and pronation/supination exercises--see illustrations at the site below. equipment--be sure that you don't have your racket strung too tightly. i dramtically decreased string tension when i was having a problem, and it made a huge difference. also avoid extremes in grip sizes. some also say that the racket material can make a difference as well as the racket head size. sometimes just switching to another racket can help to give your elbow a rest. very important--if your elbow problem is caused by poor mechanics, which often is the case, you really need to make corrections for long-term relief. otherwise, each time your elbow recovers it will immediately get worse because of the stress due to poor technique. see a knowledgeable pro about this. | 5 |
how can i reconcile with my grown son when my inlaws always interfere? clearly the `always` interfere part is a problem. you must find a way to prevent them from interfering whether it is just through direct communication or through changing what they think of you what sway do they have over your grown son? | 6 |
why do you think god didn't make everyone beautiful? i think everyone and everything is beautiful to god. it is we who develop narrow standards of beauty. "man judges the outside, but god judges the heart." --somewhere in 1 samuel. by not making everyone "beautiful" by human standards, god may be trying to stretch our tolerance, our compassion, and our imagination. | 0 |
are you a patriot or a loyalist ? do you know the difference? i am a patriot. a patriot loves and fights for the ideals upon which this nation was founded. a loyalist supports the current regime in power. pay no attention to the detractors. your question was a fair one. how can this man be accused of being patriotic to nazi germany? nowhere in his question does he claim to support any fashion of tyranny or fascism? at the very least, read the question properly before you attack someone. | 9 |
i eat a lot of potatoes in a day. whether is has any bad effects in our health? too much of any one food can be bad.potatoes are high in high glycemic carbohydrates.if you are eating mostly potatoes during the day and not getting enough protein,you are risking getting a blood sugar disorder.try to restrict your intake to one meal a day 3 days a week.you need to rotate your foods to avoid getting imbalances in your body.make sure you eat enough vegetables,fruit and protein.too much carbohydrates such as potatoes in the diet is as bad as eating lots of sweets...it can cause diabetes,so you need to scale back.when you do eat potatoes,leave the skins on them,because that is where all the potassium and b-vitamins are...potatoes are also excellent sources of fiber,in case of any kind of muscular-skeletal problems such as arthritis,they are not reccomened. | 2 |

what does it mean to be "equal opportunity employer"???? to start with pjbadenhorst is wrong. it does not mean they have an affirmative action plan in place. affirmative action and being an equal opportunity employer are completely different. i'm not meaning to call pjabenhorst out, i just don't want there to be misinformation out there. as it has been stated, being an equal opportunity employer means a company does not discriminate based on age, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation it also insures that all will get equal pay, there wont be retaliation for whistle blowing and maternity leave is in place. a company does not have a 'quota' of different races to fill. all it means is that at the end of the year the company is audited to make sure that they have hired a proportionate number of races and gender. no, there doesn't have to be an equal balance, but if the company hired 90% white males, 5% african americans and 5% woman, then they need to look closer and the companies hiring practices. when looking at the numbers they take into consideration a variety of things. location and type of job etc. if a company you apply for is an equal opportunity employer, they will not pass you over because of your race, it only means that they are equal in their hiring practices and are watched by the government at the end of the year or quarter to make sure the percentage of types of people hired aren't weighted in one direction. affirmative action goes more into the hiring of certain people. i'm not going to lie and say i fully understand it, but its not as discriminatory as people make it out to be. i've included some links in the source section for you to read and draw your own conclusions. | 6 |
what is a diatom? diatoms (gr. dia 'through'; tomos 'cutting', i.e., "cut in half") are a major group of eukaryotic algae, and are one of the most common types of phytoplankton. most diatoms are unicellular, although some form chains or simple colonies. a characteristic feature of diatom cells is that they are encased within a unique cell wall made of silica. these walls show a wide diversity in form, some quite beautiful and ornate, but usually consist of two symmetrical sides with a split between them, hence the group name. | 1 |
why is easter on the day it is? and the same with good friday? i just was wondering that because last year easter was in march and this year it is in april easter is on the first sunday after the first full moon after vernal equinox. this is why the date varies from year to year. good friday is simply the friday before easter. | 0 |

what is a "hanging breaking ball"? it's a curveball or slider that doesn't have the desired curve or slide to it, so it just hangs there like it was a fastball. they use that term when a pitcher tried to throw a slider or curveball and it didn't have any movement to it. in other words, he just threw a bad curveball or slider. | 5 |

what is the world record for most patents by a company? what is the company? - which company holds the most patents? - how many patens does that company hold am interested in depth and breadth. i.e a compnay can hold a single patent in every single country of the world (about 200 or so) or multiple patents but only in a single country - as an add on question: who holds the world record for the ratio of patent per employee? criteria, must be public (listed) company anywhere with at least 50 employees ibm is way up there. i think i read more than 100,000 | 6 |
rate my singing!? when i did a google search for "rate my singing", this site popped up where someone else had asked that very question...so i s'pose it's okay to post this here :) anyway, my video is at http://www.bix.com/entry/18610. ignore the slight out-of-sync-ness. it's "part of your world" from te little mermaid. practice makes perfect !!! | 7 |
what is 2(79)(13)? multiply 2 x 79 first so 2 x 79 = 158. then take 158 and multiply it by 13. so 158 x 13 = 2054 | 1 |
is there a spelling mistake in your dna? since a chain of dna can be likened to a "sentence" with a particular letter-order, all dna mutations are effectively spelling mistakes. so, who's perfect? there's a flaw in your analogy. in dna, it doesn't matter what letter order you use, you still get a valid word. it's just that, in any given sentence, in any given position in the sentence, the vast majority of words don't help convey the overall meaning of the sentence. every codon codes for something (an amino acid, unless it's a "start" or "stop" codon), but not all arrangements of amino acids into proteins aid the survival of any given organism (in fact, only a small percentage might, given the right circumstances) | 1 |
why does everyone say "impeach bush" would they rather have cheney? first of all "everyone" doesn't say it. secondly, most of those who do want bush impeached attended a government sanctioned child abuse center (public school) and don't have a clue about what it takes to be impeached. | 9 |
when you marry does your partner become your legal next of kin? my interpretation is from reading other definitions that your legal next of kin is a blood relative, thus if you married your wife and she was a blood relative, then this would be deemed as incest you are an incestuous mole bag. yes ur partner will be the next of kin and that makes u a bad person in the eyes of god | 8 |

let's get rid of the offside rule? lets open up the game and entice more one on ones. allow the brilliant and fit ball runners take on defences and open up the game. instead of playing the game in 50 metres only lets use the whole park. get rid of the offside rule. see more goals more dribbling more one on ones faster more exciting games. this has been proposed many times before, always by people who would like to see more goals scored. it's a phallacy -- one of the great beauties of real football is that it is a low scoring game, which makes it unpredictable because a goal really counts, it's of capital importance -- whereas in high-scoring games a point or two are usually irrelevant. changing or eliminating the offside rule would bring the sport closer to those stupefyingly predictable games so loved in the u.s. thank you, but no, thanks. | 5 |

hey, mormons, have you seen this? http://www.vsocial.com/video/?d=26069 just curious... obviously it's biased... but uh... it's pretty straight-forward. how would you defend against it? hum interesting. it's odd to see it portrayed in a south park kind of way. it hits a few points right--but it is mostly inaccurate. here are just some of the points that are twisted: for one, it makes it seem as though all the people accepted joseph smith or at least didn't make too big of a deal about it. far from the truth. the far majority of the locals thought joseph to be crazy and many even came out strongly against. as he further organized the lds church, they were even further persecuted. joseph smith was eventually martyred because of people's hatred of him and other mormons. it depicts that joseph smith translated the entire book of mormon using seer stones in a hat. that simply isn't the case. there are a few accounts (that are hard to even verify) that he in perhaps one or two cases translated with the aid of seer stones without the presence of the actual plates. all other accounts specify that the plates were in front of him. it depicts that martin harris never saw the gold plates. in fact, he was one of the witnesses to it's existence. it suggests that martin harris agreed with his wife in taking some of the pages to test joseph smith. martin harris's own account refutes this, further there is no clear evidence that of his wife's sole involvement. it is thought that others that were trying to expose joseph smith were involved. it suggests that joseph smith made up the entire account while looking into a hat. even anti-mormons are having trouble explaining how it would be possible for joseph smith to recite such a complicated account simply from memory. so all in all--it isn't very accurate. it left out any details that lend to the credibility of the book of mormon or joseph smith. but it did get one thing right--the truthfulness of the book of mormon and joseph smith are vital to the lds faith. it just left out the true depth of the bom and joseph smith. | 0 |
is shaving 'down there' really something to be ashamed of? i'm a twenty year old male and i just recently shaved down there. when the topic of pubic shaving comes up (usually as a joke) at work or school people laugh and tease me... why? i know its a personal choice but whats so funny about it that people tease? it's even worse when i'm honest and admit to being a little below average in size :( thanks for your help don't tell people about it. | 8 |
could a male and female who conduct business together form a personal relationship and still be professional? a man who manages real estate property catches the eye of one of his tenants. they are attracted to each other, but he fears that if he decides to date her, he may ruin their professional relationship. what do you make of this, (please no corny answers, but real honest answers from the men and the ladies) how can they maintain that professional level and yet if they decide to date, maintain the difference between the two without hurting anyones feelings if something should happen with their relationship? what advice do you have on this. no way, don't do this. just see in your office, how many romance stuff can have a good result finally?? think for this question for a few second and you will get the answer | 8 |
did anyone watch oprah today? (wednesday, may 24)? i need like an essay about it for extra credit at school and i suck at writing essays one thing that i noticed was that both elie wiesel and oprah pointed out repeatedly that they could feel the presence of those who died ... spiritually, literally (in seeing the enormous piles of shoes, hair, etc.). you could expand on that. (the first paragraph in chapter 4 of _night_ might give you a starting place.) or you could retell specific scenes in night and give your own perceptions about them now that you have seen them in real life. (for example, you could talk about block 17 -- the end of chapter 3 explains some of his memories of auschwitz. or, the scene of the executions (where oprah put the flowers). the end of chapter 4 talks about the hangings that he witnessed. not exactly the same, but very similar.) good luck! | 3 |

what's the french title for the poem generation to generation from st exupery? generation is the same in french, but it is prnounced different, like this: gene= like geniva, ra= like rat, tion= like dion in the name celine dion. | 0 |
why the body needs to the heart rate back to normal after exercise? has to do with oxygen demand. during exercise your heart rate goes up because oxygen is being used much faster. the faster pulse gets blood and oxygen to tissues faster. when you stop exercising, there is less demand for oxygen so the heart rate goes back down. if it stayed high, it would cause high blood pressure and damage the vessels. | 1 |
why do girls act all subltlely? why are girls so subtle(sp?)? and what are some signs a girl is into you? biologically, males have muscles and deal with problems thorugh direct approaches. females are weaker (just a fact) and therefore look to other methods to solve thier problems. | 8 |

is this cheating? (read details)? okay, so for a class i took i had to memorize a sheet of things that were paticularly hard to remember. instead of doing this the traditional way, as a math major, i wrote a numerical code that incripted all of the information so that all i had to do was remember a few numbers and decode them which told me everything i needed to know. it's not as though i was copying anything during the exam though, i mean, the answers were all in my head, just in numbers as codes. analogous to an acronym, right? is this cheating? quite clever you are. 10 points for being so smart!! not cheating no since you are able to figure this out you get kudos for thinking creatively. | 3 |

what is a polyclonal antigen? antigens were originally defined as non-self molecules which bound specifically to antibodies. in practice, the term antigen is used to mean any molecule recognized by the immune system. antigens which induce adaptive immunity are called immunogens. all immunogens are antigens, and are usually called antigens unless their ability to induce an immune response is being discussed. some antigens, called haptens, are not immunogenic unless they are covalently linked to immunogenic carriers (usually proteins). haptens can bind antibodies once the antibodies are produced, but haptens will not induce antibody synthesis on their own. small non-protein organic molecules, for example the antibiotic penicillin, are haptens. immunogenicity is influenced by the chemical nature of the antigen. the antigen's size. the antigen's usual presence in the body. antigen dose and route and timing of administration. whether the antigen is easily phagocytosed. whether antigen is efficiently presented to t cells on mhc. the maturity of the immune system and specific lymphocytes. note that immunogenicity depends on the immune system as well as on the antigen. immunogenicity is generally higher for proteins than for other organic molecules. protein antigens, which are the predominant sort that activate helper t cells, consequently induce more b cell antibody production, synthesis of igg or iga, and generation of memory b and t cells. t-independent antigens, which activate only b cells, induce igm synthesis but not other adaptive immune responses. immunogenicity increases with molecular size and complexity. haptens are generally non-proteins or they are too small to be immunogenic unless they are covalently attached to a carrier protein molecule. some carbohydrate antigens can stimulate b cells to secrete igm in the absence of t cell help but do not elicit igg or memory cells. human infants make poor responses to carbohydrate antigens, so early vaccinations with bacterial polysaccharide antigens employ protein carriers. aggregated proteins are easily phagocytosed and more immunogenic than soluble proteins. adjuvants, including bacterial products, alum, or oil emulsification of antigen, attract and activate antigen-presenting cells (dendritic cells and macrophages) and slow antigen release to prolong exposure and improve immunogenicity. each part of the antigen bound by a unique antibody is called an epitope. most proteins have several epitopes that are recognized by different b cells and induce a polyclonal antibody response. in a polyclonal response, several clones of b cells each make different antibodies, all able to bind to the same antigen but at different epitopes. epitopes may be shared by closely related antigens (cross-reactivity), so that antibody made to tetanus toxoid binds tetanus toxin. a protein epitope may be a linear sequence of amino acids or it may be assembled by protein folding. epitopes with definite three-dimensional shapes and charged amino acids are particularly well recognized by antibodies. external membrane and cell wall molecules, often present in many copies on the pathogen, are common b cell antigens. a small peptide of 4-6 amino acids could fit into an antibody binding site, but larger proteins have more extended epitopes across their surfaces. active immunity is induced by exposure to antigen. antigen dose and the route and timing of antigen contact, as well as immunogenicity, influence the magnitude and nature of the immune response. very high or very low doses of antigen induce tolerance, the inability to respond to that antigen, while intermediate doses induce immunity. we are generally tolerant to cell-bound and soluble antigens present in our own bodies. oral tolerance to foods is common, although some foods induce allergic reactions. antigens encountered in body tissues through subcutaneous or intramuscular injection are carried by lymph and macrophages into the lymph | 1 |
fat people? i would liken to know this. if you are fat or very over weight. how the hell do you let yourself get to that point, especially in a time that appearences are evrything. if it is in your head, why do they eat so much. i just dont get it. you make your life so much harder than it could be. hmm...there are several points to cover here, and as a lifelong fat guy maybe i'm qualified to answer you. firstly, people are fat for all sorts of reasons. i'm sure you'll get replies from people with glandular problems and water retainers, pointing out that not all fat people get that way because they overeat. this is true, but not of me. i could give you all sorts of psychobabble about finding comfort in carbohydrates as a child of divorce, but i won't do that either, though i do think my early eating habits contributed to a sense of feeling that fatness was my 'natural' state of being, and - odd as this sounds - a fear of being anything else, of being 'less me' if i wasn't fat. people eat too much for their own reasons - whether they want to 'fill up' a hole they feel in themselves, or hide under layers of themselves from what is to some people an incredibly harsh world, or whether they simply look at the equation between instant pleasure and gratification and long-term health problems, and opt for pleasure now because 'you could get run over by a bus tomorrow.' either way, fat pretty much creeps up on you. then there's that idea that 'appearances are everything.' there are two strands of answer on this. firstly, there are many people who find fat - at least in women - incredibly alluring, and so fat has its own ego-support system: the concept of the big beautiful woman is a direct statement about today's 'thin is the only standard by which beauty can be measured' aesthetic. if you don't want to be the pawn of madison avenue and have your concepts of beauty decided for you, chances are you'll find many women beautiful that society today would call "overweight". whether this works in reverse, with fat guys being especially attractive to some women, i couldn't tell you, but hopefully someone else can. the second strand on this is a statement of defiance - people who don't want to be judged just on the way they look, who demand equality for their talents, personalities, and sensuality, are free to be fat in a way that people who subscribe to the 'thin is the only beauty' aesthetic will never be. these people are also free to regard those who care only about appearances as 'shallow' because they've stepped outside of the game. and finally on making life harder than it could be, you're probably right, as far as health is concerned. but some people find comfort in being fat, because it frees them from all the concerns of keeping in shape and the social pressure of an extrovert life - because society is predisposed to believe fat people don't have the same drives as thin people. besides, it really is a lot more fun to laugh at joggers, aerobicisers and people who 'feel the burn' than to be one of them :od | 2 |

question about magnetism? put the forces of gravity and the earth's magnetic forces aside. you have a hollow metal cube and a small metal ball that were attracted to each other. if the ball were to be placed directly in the center of the hollow cube, would it float in the center or would it attract to a side randomly? a curious result is that if you put a charged object anywhere inside a spherically symmetric charged hollow sphere, the net force on that object is zero. it doesn't have to be in the centre. this is a consequence of gauss' law. | 1 |

tell me how to quit smoking? please? dear friend, good on you that you want to quit. you can do it!!! can a smoker overcome the physical addiction and habitual behaviors of tobacco use? the answer is a resounding yes. not only is quitting possible, but it is also highly beneficial. it is never too late to stop using tobacco. quitting at any age and in any state of health improves one’s health. because no single condition leads to tobacco dependence, no single solution cures smokers of their dependence on cigarettes. some people are able to quit smoking easily, while some find quitting so difficult that they do not quit even when facing tobacco’s serious health problems. smokers who believe that quitting smoking will be easy or that god will make it easy for them may become disillusioned if they experience the normal withdrawal symptoms or if they relapse back to smoking. therefore, it is wise for smokers to take time to plan this important change carefully and prayerfully. successful treatment can include at least three components: (1) counseling and advice from a skilled, knowledgeable professional, with a focus on developing problem-solving skills, overcoming barriers to quitting, and preventing relapse; (2) support from friends and family members; and (3) the possible correct, careful use of legal stop-smoking medications, including nicotine replacement and other drugs tested for safety and effectiveness. a local hospital or clinic may offer a stop-smoking group, and a health professional may be able to provide expert advice about medications that can help ease the physical and emotional discomfort of withdrawal symptoms. a nicotine replacement medication helps control withdrawal symptoms over a period of weeks or months while the ex-smoker gradually becomes accustomed to living without tobacco. 11 nicotine replacement products are not designed to replace nicotine permanently; rather, the ex-smoker tapers off the nicotine replacement medication over a period of weeks. the least successful way to stop smoking is to try to quit all at once, or “cold turkey,” without any kind of help. quitting this way may seem like a good idea at the time, but statistics show that only a very small percentage of those who attempt to quit this way will still be smoke-free a year later. the work of quitting smoking involves not only the initial actions of becoming tobacco-free, but also the lifetime task of remaining tobacco-free. cheers | 2 |

why do eeuu wants to destroy all nuclear weapons while it has more nuclear weapons than any other country? most people here do not realize that eeuu stands for the united states of america. however, the former soviet union had far more nuclear material than the usa. granted, both countries were, and are, capable of destroying the world several times over with their nuclear stock piles. nuclear proliferation is a bad thing, especially in the case of nuclear weapons. these are the most destructive weapons known to man, capable of killing millions of people with one blast. the more countries that possess nuclear weapons, the more nuclear weapons there are in the world. with more nuclear weapons in the world, the greater the chances of these weapons being used, either in a conflict between countries or by a terrorist organization. one of the things you failed to note is that the us and ussr went through a number of peace initiatives, such as the salt treaties, to reduce the amount of their nuclear arsenal. while this doesn't bring the net sum down to zero, it is a step in the right direction. yet, as of late, the world appears to be in another arms race. | 9 |

why build these stadiums? why did they build the milenium stadium and wembley stadium, your country has tons of huge stadiums all over, why build two only used for special occasionns? it just seems like a waste of money. well when the new wembly is finally ready it won't just be used for "special occasions" such as the fa cup final. it is used for international football matches, lower division playoff games and other events such as large music concerts. there were a couple of years where arsenal actually played their european games there and when london had an nfl europe team, the london monarchs, they played their games there. as for the millenium stadium, it is the home of the welsh rugby team and has held events such as boxing and also music concerts. they are like the english/welsh equivalents of madison square garden i suppose... | 5 |

what college should i go to? i dont have to go for a few years, but i was just wondering for some ideas. i am a straight a student and i plan on being a doctor, or something else relating either to medicine, psychology, or history. any ideas would be great, or does anyone know any good websites to go to? thanks. boy, are there some really bad answers to your question listed here! ok, here's the scoop. first, you have plenty of time to work this out, but you have already taken the first step towards success by keeping your grades up. that's how you get scholarships and that's how you get admitted to the top schools. so, keep your eyes on the prize and work hard for top grades. second, i have visited a lot of top schools in my work, and they all say the same thing. of course they want kids with top grades, but besides the grades, they want kids who are obsessed with something, who have found a passion - whether it is sports, music, history, science, whatever, but they have become passionate about it and really done a great job - a state championship, a national level award, some kind of top recognition. of course, if you plan to wind up in medicine you will need a lot of science courses - you cant do science without math, so you need to be really a good student in math class. most medical schools require calculus and physics with calculus as pre-reqs, so you cant do well in those unless you are comfortable with math. you should try to take all the ap courses in science in your high school. if you have a choice, go to a high school where there are a lot of ap courses. and, guess what? you can major in history and still be a doctor. when you go to college you can be pre-med, but pre-med is not a major. it just is a set of about seven or eight courses that you need to complete that are required for med school application. you can usually major in anything you want. history, music, art, whatever. as long as you do those particular few courses that are needed for med school, the rest of the courses you take can be any major. anyway, lots of people who want to go into broadcasting, writing, or many areas of business - especially international business - major in history. so it is an ok backup if you decided that you really dont want to go to med school. good luck! follow your dream! | 3 |
how are laws made and changed in france? my son is doing a country report on france and he can't find out how laws are made and changed in france. first a bit of background: france -- like many other countries -- has a parliament (= us congress). this parliament is divided into two parts: a senate (sénat) and a "chambre des députés" (= us house of representatives). of course, this parliament is different from the us congress, but just remember that it works mostly in the same way. laws are then created in the following way: 1. a "projet de loi" (law project) is presented to parliament -- usually to the chambre des députés -- either by an mp (member of parliament) or, more frequently, by a member (minister) of the current government. another possibility is that an existing law needs to be amended/modified, in which case a "projet d'amendement" is presented and discussed exactly in the same way as a normal law. 2. the law (or amendment) is then discussed by the "députés", who amend and/or modify it. 3. the law is then subject to a vote by the "députés". all amendments to the law are also voted upon. 4. if accepted, the law then goes to the senate, where it is again discussed, modified, amended, etc. 5. the law is then subject to a 2nd vote by the senate. at this stage, several things can happen: 5.1. the law is accepted by both senate and chambre des députés: it then becomes a part of french law, which means it will become part of one of the french "law codes", and that the government will pass one or more "décrets d'application", which clarifies the law if needed and commands & instructs all relevant law-enforcement agencies to apply it from a given date. 5.2. the law is rejected by the senate. it then goes back to the "chambre des députés" for a 2nd session (seconde lecture), during which it will be again modified, amended, voted upon, etc... after which it will go back to the senate for another round. still with me? good! at any point during this whole process, a group of "députés" or senators can call upon the "conseil constitutionnel" (consitution council) to pronounce itself on the constitutionality of a law. this means that -- if the conseil constitutionnel finds the law unconstitutional -- any law can be rejected outright, and won't be allowed to be discussed any further. this is, in effect, a form of constitutional veto on the law. but, at any point during this big cycle, the government can force the law to be adopted, using what is called the "article 49-3". this is usually very controversial and the mark of a very unpopular text (as was the case recently). if that is the case, the only way to stop the law from being adopted is for the mps to censor the government, which is hard to do, since governments usually also have a mjority of their own party in parliament. also, the president can force a law -- or even parts of a law -- to go back to parliament if he is not satisfied with it. finally, the only exception to the above rules is the case when there is a constitutional change. in that case, the changes to the constitution are debated by _both_ the senate and the chambre des députés in a "special" parliament in versailles (and not in paris). otherwise, the law-making rules are almost the same. in paris, the french senate is based on the left bank, at the "palais du luxembourg" and the "chambre des députés" is based at the "assemblée nationale", near the river seine. | 9 |
ladies, have you ever given the guy you were dating a choice to either commit or you were finished with him? you know the scenario: you've been dating for a while now and he's not even close to "popping the question" about engagement, marriage. have you ever told him: "if you dont' give me a ring by (certain date), then it's over!" do you think this was a good idea to get him to commit? did you get the ring or did the guy walk? if you've ever done this, what was it that made you pressure him for a commitment? it never got to that level with one, but she laid out that she wanted more or i would have to walk. i walked. | 8 |

do you think if the government pays a religious hospital for services that this is a violation? violation of church and state, like paying a religious group to educate children no, the govt. is paying them for the medical services. religious hospitals do not force religion on any patient. so, the govt. is merely paying a hospital for medical services and the hospital just happens to be religious. now, if the govt was paying them because they are a religious hospital, not for the medical services, then there would be a problem. | 9 |

will the united states lose it's competitiveness in the fields of mathematics, science, and technology? if you look at the test scores for american students when compared with students from other nations, you see that there's a huge disparity between the u.s. and other nations. i would venture to guess that possibly a majority of the students even in the u.s. who are math and science majors are asian immigrants or from asian immigrant families (actually i compliment them on their industriousness, i just wish other people would emulate them). there really does seem to be a 'brain drain' here when it comes to math and science, and i wonder if other nations like china and india will pass the u.s. in the areas of science, mathematics, physics and technology. sadly, we are already losing it, if we haven't lost it completely. the present american political leadership is not willing to spend any serious money on education, preferring to squander it on prisons, wars, and the futile pursuit of the war on (some) drugs. local governments without rich tax bases cannot make up the shortfalls, even if they don't have spending caps imposed by ignorant legislators. | 3 |

is there diversity in the gap stores? see, doing a group report over the entire company and i really can't find the kind of information i need. i'm supposed to tell how the diverse the gap really is. but everytime i go into the gap i never see anyone of an ethnic background working there. so i guess maybe i not really looking hard enough or they're really not there. first off you probably won't find any diversity in any gap store. the name gap, formerly known as gapa, is an anagram for global arian prosperity(association). the association was founded by jonathan t. garrison in 1953 as a radical movement for white supremacy in the usa. some of the founders of the gap clothing store (which i won't state there name) were involved in this association. although laws have changed some traits have not. i'm sorry that this is all i can share with you. | 3 |
