2,200	3Education & Reference	What do you think the saying "it's all downhill from here" means?	Some say it like it's good, as in "everything is easier from here on".

You did the difficult leg work, and the rest of the journey is cruising down and enjoying the benefits of the hard work that got you there. I think this is the most common usage.\n\nDownhill = BAD\nYou, or someone else, started a chain of events that will only snowball into a massive avalanche. Things might have started out okay, but that was as good as they ever got.

2,204	5Sports	What Coaching changes will occur in the offseason?	With NFL coming to an end which Coaches are on the hot seat to be fired or not brought back? Also any thoughts on thier replacement?	The lions are for sure looking for a coach after firing heir coach. Houston may end up firing Dom Capers after such poor season. New Orleans and Oakland look like they will fire their coaches, Oaklands offense should have does much better and do I need to say much about New Orleans? \n\nThe Ravens coach Brian Billick is on the hot seat because of the bad development of Kyle Boller, who has not done much good as a QB and a real bad season. I think we'll have to wait to see will is fired and the off-season before we'll get a good idea of posable replacements.

A bad driver such as a video driver could be the cause, check with the video card manufacture to see if there is an available update for your video card driver.

2,215	9Politics & Government	What was Woorow Wilson's reson for the cause of WWI?		Following is the beginning of the President’s message to the 65th Congress concerning that war. The complete message may be found at the source link:\n\nGentlemen of the Congress: \nI have called the Congress into extraordinary session because there are serious, very serious, choices of policy to be made, and made immediately, which it was neither right nor constitutionally permissible that I should assume the responsibility of making. \nOn the 3d of February last I officially laid before you the extraordinary announcement of the Imperial German Government that on and after the 1st day of February it was its purpose to put aside all restraints of law or of humanity and use its submarines to sink every vessel that sought to approach either the ports of Great Britain and Ireland or the western coasts of Europe or any of the ports controlled by the enemies of Germany within the Mediterranean. That had seemed to be the object of the German submarine warfare earlier in the war, but since April of last year the Imperial Government had somewhat restrained the commanders of its undersea craft in conformity with its promise then given to us that passenger boats should not be sunk and that due warning would be given to all other vessels which its submarines might seek to destroy, when no resistance was offered or escape attempted, and care taken that their crews were given at least a fair chance to save their lives in their open boats. The precautions taken were meagre and haphazard enough, as was proved in distressing instance after instance in the progress of the cruel and unmanly business, but a certain degree of restraint was observed The new policy has swept every restriction aside. Vessels of every kind, whatever their flag, their character, their cargo, their destination, their errand, have been ruthlessly sent to the bottom without warning and without thought of help or mercy for those on board, the vessels of friendly neutrals along with those of belligerents. Even hospital ships and ships carrying relief to the sorely bereaved and stricken people of Belgium, though the latter were provided with safe-conduct through the proscribed areas by the German Government itself and were distinguished by unmistakable marks of identity, have been sunk with the same reckless lack of compassion or of principle.

Since the package was not insured you will not get any money back for the postage or the actual merchandise if the package can not be located.
2,217	0Society & Culture	Why can't women wipe off a toilet seat if they know they are the one that soiled it?	Not to be gross here, but when using public restrooms, why can't most women wipe off the toilet seat if they know they "went" on it? Do they think other women should have to clean after them before they can use it?	i don't think this depends on gender...it is a question of whether they (male or female) have common decency!
2,218	1Science & Mathematics	do you know a name of a male haitian mathematician?		Guy Serge Pompilus
2,219	6Business & Finance	Have you encountered a ghost?		I haven't actually encountered a ghost, but I have encountered waking up, and not being able to move, like my whole body is paralyzed, and not being able to open my eyes. All I can do is squint. I have then felt someone touch me, another time I felt a kiss on my forehead, and one time I did see a shadow of someone. (maybe a ghost) Meanwhile, I couldn't move thru all of this.

2,221	6Business & Finance	what is the most emerging market for growth in the next few years ?	How is the growth of Asia Pacific compared to that of Eastern Europe, Russia and Ireland ?	Most experts say that China will become the major world economic power within the next 10 years. China's extremely large population, coupled with new money from outsourcing from Japan and the US, has created an explosion of consumer spending. This in turn has boosted the Chinese economy, and will couse China to be the biggest emerging market in the coming years.\n\nIndia, to a smaller extent, will experience/is experiencing this effect as well. However, China is much more developed than India, which to some extent is still a third world country.
2,222	1Science & Mathematics	Do you think there is other life in other universes?		I don't see why there can't be other life forms in this vast and possibly endless universe.
2,223	9Politics & Government	Is the Death Penalty a good "thing" or a bad "thing"?	I personally think the death penalty is a bad thing. The person who committed homicide always has another chance at making a new life; starting with a clean start. I only have once exception; HITLER, DIE NAZI DIE!	As long as the person is guilty, and the crime is severe, I think it is a good thing.\n\nFor one thing, why should a cold blooded murder get the chance he never gave to his victim? Victims (usually innocent people) do not get a chance to start a new life, do they? Plus why should he get a lifetime of freebies (free meals, free clothes, free cable) and even some freebies that the law-abiding cannot afford (like free gym, free college courses) after taking a life?\n\nA good alternative would be to use the worst of the worst (rapists, pedohiles, murderers) for testing instead of the innocent animals. At least then they could serve a purpose in society, and maybe even give a little back.
2,224	8Family & Relationships	is there a "traditional" 30 year anniversary celebration or present?		The traditional is something pearl, though the "modern" list says diamond.
2,225	3Education & Reference	When was the Parthenon built and why?	PLease answer this by December 20th, please. I need this for a test to study! URGENT!	The work on Parthenon started in 447 BC. Work on the temple continued until 432 BC. The Parthenon is a Doric peripteral temple, which means that it consists of a rectangular floor plan with a series of low steps on every side, and a colonnade (8 x 17) of Doric columns extending around the periphery of the entire structure. Each entrance has an additional six columns in front of it. The larger of the two interior rooms, the naos, housed the cult statue. The smaller room (the opisthodomos) was used as a treasury.\n\nSome historians believe that Athens concluded a peace treaty with Persia in 449, two years before work began on the Parthenon. The significance of this would be that the Delian League/Athenian Empire continued to exist, even after the reason for its existence (a mutual defense league against the Persians) had ceased to be valid. In other words it was now openly acknowledged that Athens was not just the head of the Greek defense league but actually an imperial master over other Greek states. The decision by the Athenians in 454 BC to move the League treasury from the Panhellenic sanctuary at Delos to the Athenian acropolis points in the same direction. Because the Parthenon was built with League funds, the building may be read as an expression of the confidence of the Athenians in this newly naked imperialism.
2,226	0Society & Culture	Who wrote the book of Revelation in the Bible? What is the proof?	Hint: the salutation of Paul, the token in every epistle, written by mine own hand.	The answer is in verse one.\n\n"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw."
2,227	5Sports	why is USC going to lose the rose bowl ?		Texas' D has speed and a quality defensive back field including Micheal Huff (this years Thorpe Award winner for best defensive back and former high school track star) and Micheal Griffin. The Texas defense backfield faces a tall WR everyday in practive Limas Sweed (6-5). Texas defense will handle USC passing game.\n\nTexas has linebackers with speed and should contain Bush and a solid defensive line that should stand up well to the USC offensive lineman and the big FB. USC running game and Texas defense will draw.\n\nCan USC defense handle the option read while the passing threat is always present? No and this is how Texas wins.

2,229	8Family & Relationships	how could you satisfy your girl friend?	if you can	The truth is this, there is no way to satisfy your girlfriend, or anyone, for that matter. Men and women, it seems, have this belief that they can "please" each other or "make" each other happy. It is a nice thought, but it doesn't really happen that way. Think about this, you are upset and your friend tells you a joke that makes you feel better...right? Wrong. You chose to feel better by seeing the humor in the joke and allowed yourself to open up enough to be influenced by the humor, losing your grip on those negative thoughts and feelings you had previously. It is the same with women, in this case, your girlfriend. \n\nYou can't satisfy her, but there is something you can do to improve the situation. First start with you, being the best person you can be...to yourself, to others, and to her. Be confident, be yourself, be all the things you want to be when fear and self-consiousness set in, and be true to who you are. Then be selfless, helpful, caring, compassionate, diligent, and patient with those around you. As for your girlfriend, you should follow your heart, care for her, give her yourself, be WITH her when you are around her, share, be thoughtful and kind, and show her that you care. Although you cannot "force" or "make" her do anything, you can still be the best person possible, making each day you live worth living, making yourself a person of value, and creating a certain magic in your life. All of these things will not only draw better people to you in your life, but your girlfriend will be more "open" to your influenc and "willing" to share whatever you wish with you. \n\nA last note. Women "feel" rather than "think" their ways into better relationships. Men are mostly the other way. If you love her and care for her, you should take the risk and tell her what is in your heart as often as you can, show her what you feel without the "act", and do for her what you would want done for yourself. The best advice in any relationship, including the one you have with yourself, is this: "If you don't want people to treat you like an @ssho!e, then don't act like one".....in your case it would sound more like this "If you want to satisfy her, then let her satisfy you". Do all the things to her that you want her to do to you (or have done to you, if you are content in the relationship). Relationships are a balance, and if yours needs some adjustment, then make those adjustments. Don't worry if you think you are working too hard, when she realizes what you are doing, she will be more than willing to do her part as well (if she is right for you, that is....and doing this will give you a good indicator if she is or isn't "the one"....)\n\nI hope this helped. Good luck!

2,234	9Politics & Government	Do you think George Bush Jr. has the credentials to be a CEO at one of our major corporations?	The Presidency requires the best and the brightest in government. It seems that our country has developed a sense that standards for this office don't exist. All you have to be is a white christian male over 35 and you are eligible. You don't need to be honest, have experience in any of the details of what the job requires, or have a resume of previous experience that shows excellence.\n The Republican Party should be ashamed for even thinking of placing his name up for nomination for the presidency. We all know he doesn't do the thinking on policy. If he doesn't read the newspapers, he certainly can't read Presidential Briefing Memos warning of an attack by Bin Laden. \n One should know something about the world outside of the United States to win this office and have some positive experience in government.	He got elected by more than half of the American people. What have you accomplished that makes you so bright?

2,243	7Entertainment & Music	Are satellite radio stations the same "channels" all across the country?		I think the last person that answered misunderstood the question. I believe you mean the XM and Sirius satellite radio. The channels are the same no matter where you go, the same name and the same channel number. It is different from FM/AM radio as there could be other stations use the same frequency but in another region. Satellite radio is meant to broadcast all over the U.S. as FM/AM is not meant to. \n\nIt is the same with television stations. If you receive it on a cable system or over the air that channel is unique to that area but if you get Dish Network or DirecTv that station and number is the same no matter where you go in the U.S. and receive that signal.
2,244	4Computers & Internet	Any good linux distro ?

2,246	4Computers & Internet	Meta Tags?	is there somewhere on the web that can explain "meta tags" and how to put them in your header so you get more hits to your website? we used frontpage to build the website. can we just cut n' paste code into header? HELP!	Google ignores meta keywords now because they were being abused. But if you put in a good meta description then people will more easily be able to see what your web site is about in the search results. Put the meta tag with the following syntax in the <head> section of your document:\n\n<meta name="description" content="funcrunch.org: Julie Bernstein's personal home page." />\n\nThen the "content" part will be displayed in the search results rather than a snippet from your web page. Keep it short and meaningful.\n\nI don't know how to edit in FrontPage; I only use text editors for HTML. Good luck!

2,248	4Computers & Internet	How do I post an mp3 file to my blogger blog...step by step, please..?		First, you must have somewhere to upload it to. Finding file hosting can be a pain.

2,250	6Business & Finance	What is the best business idea you saw this year?	Must be innovative, unusual and really have good commercial possibilities.	The best Business Idea this year was to take I Robot to IPO. They made a mint and increased awareness via free press coverage for well over a month. Made some good cash in the stock sales to boot. The I-Pod was a good second best business idea, but the "kids market" doesn't last long term or provide continuous sales to a fickle market segment.

I have never found a better research resource than this.

2,259	1Science & Mathematics	Could we all become separate species..?	Looking at the various cultural and genetic drift that is visible on our planet today, and the wide variety of human types, is it plausible to suggest that we could all one day adapt and evolve into separate, unique species who are no longer able to interbreed and have unique characteristics?	Given today's atmosphere (socio-economic, not the sky), it is not possible.\n\nLook to Darwin to see WHY species differentiated.\nOne reason is they change to better thrive in their surroundings. We humans tend to alter our surroundings to more fit us.\nAnother reason is physical barrier (and then go back to number one), so two populations evolve differently...due to their different surroundings. The only problem is that I live next door to an Italian, an American Indian (1/8), and a Pakistani. World travel is a thing of relative ease. Breeding is so intermixed between populations that you will not have a barrier-method break to help evolution.\n\nIn summary, I believe we will not become different species of human.

2,271	3Education & Reference	Ivy League -- which is worse?	I went to an ivy league university. And some people would sit there debating how to answer the question if people asked "where did you go to school?" And they would come up with all these ways to dodge the question -- like "I went to school in state X" or whatnot. I have found that if people say "I went to school in Massachusetts" then people just say "oh, where" and it drags on the conversation. I think it's really arrogant to think you're so special you have to try to hide where you went. If you went to Harvard and someone asks, then say "Harvard" and move on. If you went to Yale, don't say "Connecticut" because that just invites follow up questions. Just say "Yale" and move on. I think it's worse and more arrogant to try to hide where you went than to just answer a question factually if people ask. It REALLY annoys me when people feel they have to lie for some false humility's sake. What do you think?	I agree. I do not believe that anyone should be ashamed of anything. You can not change the past and if you wanted to do it you should be proud or at least willing to accept the consequences of what you have done. If you kill someone take the blame, if you went to an ivy league school take the looks.

2,276	3Education & Reference	Why are wedding rings worn on the left hand?		"Before medical science discovered how the circulatory system functioned, people believed that a vein of blood ran directly from the fourth finger on the left hand to the heart. (This belief allegedly dates to the 3rd century BC in Greece.) Because of the hand-heart connection, people named the putative vein descriptively vena amori, Latin for 'the vein of love'. Due to this tradition, it became accepted to wear the wedding ring on this finger. By wearing rings on the fourth finger of their left hands, a married couple symbolically declares their eternal love for each other. This has now become a matter of tradition and etiquette.\n\nIn most Western cultures, the wedding ring is worn on the left hand. In some countries, however, such as Germany, Norway, and Chile, it is worn on the right hand. Orthodox Christians, Eastern Europeans and Jews also traditionally wear the wedding band on the right hand.\n\nEtiquette frowns severely on the making of sexual overtures to a man or woman wearing a wedding ring."\n\nFor wedding invitations, be sure to check out http://announcements.com \n\nThey have a huge selection, and usually ship within 2 business days.

I'm wondering if there is an "emotional hangover" that a person can get after a real emotionally charged experience...	There is a saying "emotionally spent" which relates the terms you are mentioning.\n\nEmotions of any great amount cause phsyiological changes (i.e. increase blood pressure and heart rate, change temperature, metabolism, etc.) These are all elements of what we term as "stress". \n\nIf this happens on extreme levels, yes, you can experience a "hang over" of sorts. In some ways you can think of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrom as similar in concept to the "hang over" you are talking about.

People against Bush are tired of the Neo-cons lying their way into power, eating the country from the inside out, and making what was once the gleaming gem nation of the world a third-world joke.\n\nWe are tired of watching our children's life blood and our nation's economic health being poured out in the name of bringing our style of freedom to a country who could care less whether or not they have it -- a country who will throw it away when we leave before the last plane lands back here. We feel that while Sadam was a bad guy, he was not worth the life of a single US soldier, let alone 3000.\n\nWe are tired of the most powerful man in the world being someone who was never elected, who outed a covert CIA agent in a time of war and who is more worried about the profits of Haliburton than whether or not the United States will still stand in 50 years. (Yeah, I know Shrub got some votes, I'm now talking about Karl Rove, the puppetmaster who has his hand up the dummy's back).\n\nWe are tired of an Austrailan who stands to make more money if America goes down (Rupert Murdoch) controlling the minds of the half of the population with an IQ below 100 with his Fox News liars.\n\nBush is the symptom of a horrible, disfiguring disease that this country has contracted. In 100 years, assuming that people still have the intelligence to read, historians will wonder what the heck we were thinking electing a moron to the highest office in the land.\n\nOf course, I'm sugar coating my real opinion.

Download it to a location you'll remember, like your desktop.\n\n3. Once downloaded double click it and the driver should auto install.

2,290	9Politics & Government	CAN A PERSON BE CHARGE FOR A FALSE SIGNATURE ON A MORTAGAGE WHEN SIGNING AS WIFE-WHEN ITS NOT SO IN TX?	When applying for a mortgage at a young age as a soldier my girl wwas tranferred to my installation so we plan to move in together when the financing came around my real estate agent asked the question were we married and we stated no and the agent ask will you get married some day and we said probably so. So the agent advised us to sign as a couple which I now know was bad advise. Because the relation didn't work after 18 months. and now my ex girl is sueing for half interest in the house after 25 years of no payment on the mortgage or upkeep of the property--I plan to represent myself in court due to the lack of fund to hire a lawyer. I do not see her as co-owner. She left the house in 79 and expressed no interest in the house an d took all household goods. I beleive she've been compensated for the limit $ invested at closing. She is filing co owner. Any advise.	You might have a hard time. Regardless of your marital status at the time of signing you could still be what is called tenants in common. Any two people can be tenants in common. Go back to your original contract and read what it says. If it names both of you and both of you agreed then you are probably tenants in common. Each having half undivided interest.\n\nBut this also means she would be responsible for half of anything like taxes, mortgage payments and any other expenses with the property.\n\nAbout the only claim you can make to the property would be adverse possesion in he half interest but it might be a stretch.\n\nBut after 25 years of no payment of duties it might equal her half interest anyway.\n\nI would ask for accounting and partition....but see a lawyer.

A program running at the time may be crashing when you run intensive games. Go into MSCONFIG and disable all un needed applications and restart your system (even try disabling your anti-virus at the time to see if that could be the cause). Also run a spyware scan and make sur eyou have all the latest Windows Updates.\n\n3.

What was Woorow Wilson's reson for the cause of WWI?

Following is the beginning of the President’s message to the 65th Congress concerning that war. The complete message may be found at the source link:\n\nGentlemen of the Congress: \nI have called the Congress into extraordinary session because there are serious, very serious, choices of policy to be made, and made immediately, which it was neither right nor constitutionally permissible that I should assume the responsibility of making. \nOn the 3d of February last I officially laid before you the extraordinary announcement of the Imperial German Government that on and after the 1st day of February it was its purpose to put aside all restraints of law or of humanity and use its submarines to sink every vessel that sought to approach either the ports of Great Britain and Ireland or the western coasts of Europe or any of the ports controlled by the enemies of Germany within the Mediterranean. That had seemed to be the object of the German submarine warfare earlier in the war, but since April of last year the Imperial Government had somewhat restrained the commanders of its undersea craft in conformity with its promise then given to us that passenger boats should not be sunk and that due warning would be given to all other vessels which its submarines might seek to destroy, when no resistance was offered or escape attempted, and care taken that their crews were given at least a fair chance to save their lives in their open boats. The precautions taken were meagre and haphazard enough, as was proved in distressing instance after instance in the progress of the cruel and unmanly business, but a certain degree of restraint was observed The new policy has swept every restriction aside. Vessels of every kind, whatever their flag, their character, their cargo, their destination, their errand, have been ruthlessly sent to the bottom without warning and without thought of help or mercy for those on board, the vessels of friendly neutrals along with those of belligerents. Even hospital ships and ships carrying relief to the sorely bereaved and stricken people of Belgium, though the latter were provided with safe-conduct through the proscribed areas by the German Government itself and were distinguished by unmistakable marks of identity, have been sunk with the same reckless lack of compassion or of principle.

Is the Death Penalty a good "thing" or a bad "thing"?

I personally think the death penalty is a bad thing. The person who committed homicide always has another chance at making a new life; starting with a clean start. I only have once exception; HITLER, DIE NAZI DIE!

As long as the person is guilty, and the crime is severe, I think it is a good thing.\n\nFor one thing, why should a cold blooded murder get the chance he never gave to his victim? Victims (usually innocent people) do not get a chance to start a new life, do they? Plus why should he get a lifetime of freebies (free meals, free clothes, free cable) and even some freebies that the law-abiding cannot afford (like free gym, free college courses) after taking a life?\n\nA good alternative would be to use the worst of the worst (rapists, pedohiles, murderers) for testing instead of the innocent animals. At least then they could serve a purpose in society, and maybe even give a little back.

When was the Parthenon built and why?

PLease answer this by December 20th, please. I need this for a test to study! URGENT!

The work on Parthenon started in 447 BC. Work on the temple continued until 432 BC. The Parthenon is a Doric peripteral temple, which means that it consists of a rectangular floor plan with a series of low steps on every side, and a colonnade (8 x 17) of Doric columns extending around the periphery of the entire structure. Each entrance has an additional six columns in front of it. The larger of the two interior rooms, the naos, housed the cult statue. The smaller room (the opisthodomos) was used as a treasury.\n\nSome historians believe that Athens concluded a peace treaty with Persia in 449, two years before work began on the Parthenon. The significance of this would be that the Delian League/Athenian Empire continued to exist, even after the reason for its existence (a mutual defense league against the Persians) had ceased to be valid. In other words it was now openly acknowledged that Athens was not just the head of the Greek defense league but actually an imperial master over other Greek states. The decision by the Athenians in 454 BC to move the League treasury from the Panhellenic sanctuary at Delos to the Athenian acropolis points in the same direction. Because the Parthenon was built with League funds, the building may be read as an expression of the confidence of the Athenians in this newly naked imperialism.

Who wrote the book of Revelation in the Bible? What is the proof?

Hint: the salutation of Paul, the token in every epistle, written by mine own hand.

The answer is in verse one.\n\n"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw."

why is USC going to lose the rose bowl ?

Texas' D has speed and a quality defensive back field including Micheal Huff (this years Thorpe Award winner for best defensive back and former high school track star) and Micheal Griffin. The Texas defense backfield faces a tall WR everyday in practive Limas Sweed (6-5). Texas defense will handle USC passing game.\n\nTexas has linebackers with speed and should contain Bush and a solid defensive line that should stand up well to the USC offensive lineman and the big FB. USC running game and Texas defense will draw.\n\nCan USC defense handle the option read while the passing threat is always present? No and this is how Texas wins.

how could you satisfy your girl friend?

if you can

The truth is this, there is no way to satisfy your girlfriend, or anyone, for that matter. Men and women, it seems, have this belief that they can "please" each other or "make" each other happy. It is a nice thought, but it doesn't really happen that way. Think about this, you are upset and your friend tells you a joke that makes you feel better...right? Wrong. You chose to feel better by seeing the humor in the joke and allowed yourself to open up enough to be influenced by the humor, losing your grip on those negative thoughts and feelings you had previously. It is the same with women, in this case, your girlfriend. \n\nYou can't satisfy her, but there is something you can do to improve the situation. First start with you, being the best person you can be...to yourself, to others, and to her. Be confident, be yourself, be all the things you want to be when fear and self-consiousness set in, and be true to who you are. Then be selfless, helpful, caring, compassionate, diligent, and patient with those around you. As for your girlfriend, you should follow your heart, care for her, give her yourself, be WITH her when you are around her, share, be thoughtful and kind, and show her that you care. Although you cannot "force" or "make" her do anything, you can still be the best person possible, making each day you live worth living, making yourself a person of value, and creating a certain magic in your life. All of these things will not only draw better people to you in your life, but your girlfriend will be more "open" to your influenc and "willing" to share whatever you wish with you. \n\nA last note. Women "feel" rather than "think" their ways into better relationships. Men are mostly the other way. If you love her and care for her, you should take the risk and tell her what is in your heart as often as you can, show her what you feel without the "act", and do for her what you would want done for yourself. The best advice in any relationship, including the one you have with yourself, is this: "If you don't want people to treat you like an @ssho!e, then don't act like one".....in your case it would sound more like this "If you want to satisfy her, then let her satisfy you". Do all the things to her that you want her to do to you (or have done to you, if you are content in the relationship). Relationships are a balance, and if yours needs some adjustment, then make those adjustments. Don't worry if you think you are working too hard, when she realizes what you are doing, she will be more than willing to do her part as well (if she is right for you, that is....and doing this will give you a good indicator if she is or isn't "the one"....)\n\nI hope this helped. Good luck!

Do you think George Bush Jr. has the credentials to be a CEO at one of our major corporations?

The Presidency requires the best and the brightest in government. It seems that our country has developed a sense that standards for this office don't exist. All you have to be is a white christian male over 35 and you are eligible. You don't need to be honest, have experience in any of the details of what the job requires, or have a resume of previous experience that shows excellence.\n The Republican Party should be ashamed for even thinking of placing his name up for nomination for the presidency. We all know he doesn't do the thinking on policy. If he doesn't read the newspapers, he certainly can't read Presidential Briefing Memos warning of an attack by Bin Laden. \n One should know something about the world outside of the United States to win this office and have some positive experience in government.

He got elected by more than half of the American people. What have you accomplished that makes you so bright?

The channels are the same no matter where you go, the same name and the same channel number. It is different from FM/AM radio as there could be other stations use the same frequency but in another region. Satellite radio is meant to broadcast all over the U.S. as FM/AM is not meant to. \n\nIt is the same with television stations.

Could we all become separate species..?

Looking at the various cultural and genetic drift that is visible on our planet today, and the wide variety of human types, is it plausible to suggest that we could all one day adapt and evolve into separate, unique species who are no longer able to interbreed and have unique characteristics?

Given today's atmosphere (socio-economic, not the sky), it is not possible.\n\nLook to Darwin to see WHY species differentiated.\nOne reason is they change to better thrive in their surroundings. We humans tend to alter our surroundings to more fit us.\nAnother reason is physical barrier (and then go back to number one), so two populations evolve differently...due to their different surroundings. The only problem is that I live next door to an Italian, an American Indian (1/8), and a Pakistani. World travel is a thing of relative ease. Breeding is so intermixed between populations that you will not have a barrier-method break to help evolution.\n\nIn summary, I believe we will not become different species of human.

Ivy League -- which is worse?

I went to an ivy league university. And some people would sit there debating how to answer the question if people asked "where did you go to school?" And they would come up with all these ways to dodge the question -- like "I went to school in state X" or whatnot. I have found that if people say "I went to school in Massachusetts" then people just say "oh, where" and it drags on the conversation. I think it's really arrogant to think you're so special you have to try to hide where you went. If you went to Harvard and someone asks, then say "Harvard" and move on. If you went to Yale, don't say "Connecticut" because that just invites follow up questions. Just say "Yale" and move on. I think it's worse and more arrogant to try to hide where you went than to just answer a question factually if people ask. It REALLY annoys me when people feel they have to lie for some false humility's sake. What do you think?

I agree. I do not believe that anyone should be ashamed of anything. You can not change the past and if you wanted to do it you should be proud or at least willing to accept the consequences of what you have done. If you kill someone take the blame, if you went to an ivy league school take the looks.

Why are wedding rings worn on the left hand?

"Before medical science discovered how the circulatory system functioned, people believed that a vein of blood ran directly from the fourth finger on the left hand to the heart. (This belief allegedly dates to the 3rd century BC in Greece.) Because of the hand-heart connection, people named the putative vein descriptively vena amori, Latin for 'the vein of love'. Due to this tradition, it became accepted to wear the wedding ring on this finger. By wearing rings on the fourth finger of their left hands, a married couple symbolically declares their eternal love for each other. This has now become a matter of tradition and etiquette.\n\nIn most Western cultures, the wedding ring is worn on the left hand. In some countries, however, such as Germany, Norway, and Chile, it is worn on the right hand. Orthodox Christians, Eastern Europeans and Jews also traditionally wear the wedding band on the right hand.\n\nEtiquette frowns severely on the making of sexual overtures to a man or woman wearing a wedding ring."\n\nFor wedding invitations, be sure to check out http://announcements.com \n\nThey have a huge selection, and usually ship within 2 business days.

Can lung cancer spread to the breast?

Lung cancer can probably spread almost everywhere, but it tends to have a preference for spread to the liver and bone. Cancer tends to spread through the blood and lymphatic system, so if the lung cancer does spread to the breast, it is likely to have spread to other places as well.\n\nWhat makes breast cancer a serious problem is not so much its effect on the breast but the fact that it can spread to other important organs and interfere with them (like the lungs, liver, or pancreas).

I believe a virus stopped my sound from working, speakers are fine, anybody know how to fix?

Quickest easiest fix for problems like this is often to download the newest drivers for your sound card.\n\n1. First you will need to know the name and model of your sound card, right click on my computer, click on properties, select the hardware tab then click device manager. Then click on the plus sign next to sound, video and game controllers. Your sound card is listed here. Sound Blaster is a common device.\n\n2. Type the name of your device into a Google Search to the effect of: "Drivers *name of sound card*" This will give you a bunch of sites you can download the newest driver. Download it to a location you'll remember, like your desktop.\n\n3. Once downloaded double click it and the driver should auto install. Reset your computer and you'll be back online.\n\nIf this doesn't solve the problem try uninstalling the driver first then reinstalling it. If this doesn't work you might have hardware problems. These are too many and too varied to answer here, call a friend who knows alot about computers and have them come over.

CAN A PERSON BE CHARGE FOR A FALSE SIGNATURE ON A MORTAGAGE WHEN SIGNING AS WIFE-WHEN ITS NOT SO IN TX?

When applying for a mortgage at a young age as a soldier my girl wwas tranferred to my installation so we plan to move in together when the financing came around my real estate agent asked the question were we married and we stated no and the agent ask will you get married some day and we said probably so. So the agent advised us to sign as a couple which I now know was bad advise. Because the relation didn't work after 18 months. and now my ex girl is sueing for half interest in the house after 25 years of no payment on the mortgage or upkeep of the property--I plan to represent myself in court due to the lack of fund to hire a lawyer. I do not see her as co-owner. She left the house in 79 and expressed no interest in the house an d took all household goods. I beleive she've been compensated for the limit $ invested at closing. She is filing co owner. Any advise.

You might have a hard time. Regardless of your marital status at the time of signing you could still be what is called tenants in common. Any two people can be tenants in common. Go back to your original contract and read what it says. If it names both of you and both of you agreed then you are probably tenants in common. Each having half undivided interest.\n\nBut this also means she would be responsible for half of anything like taxes, mortgage payments and any other expenses with the property.\n\nAbout the only claim you can make to the property would be adverse possesion in he half interest but it might be a stretch.\n\nBut after 25 years of no payment of duties it might equal her half interest anyway.\n\nI would ask for accounting and partition....but see a lawyer.

how do i run my own web hosting service?

i would like to run a home based business, web hosting. Letting people use my computers to park their websites.

The best way to start one is to actually resell another providers web hosting. You can sign up as an affiliate for a number of hosts like Intermedia.net, Hostopia and a few others. These 2 are the best that I've come across. This way you only deal with the marketing, sales and some of the 'company' operations without having to deal with the technical operational issues associated with web hosting. Trust me, I spent 5 years at a hosting company -- it's a pain in the neck.
