3,106	6Business & Finance	how do achaeologist find remains?		A whole lot of looking and often by accident!

The IRS also has a compliance site that is listed below. There is an article from Bankrate.com that explains, "the IRS won't provide information on its largest reward or indeed any specific rewards to protect the privacy of its informants." \n\nIt seems the IRS doesn't pay less than $100.00 and by law the IRS can't pay more than $2,000,000.00. In order to claim a reward you must file Form 211 with the IRS.

3,116	9Politics & Government	How can the United States withdraw from Iraq in a way that is good for Iraq, its neighbors and the U.S.?		i believe that a slow and thorough withdrawl over a period of the next year is the only way out of iraq. we made the mess, and now we MUST do our best to leave them with a non-explosive situation once we are gone. many of the iraq's don't want us there, but are afraid of an immediate withdrawl will land their society into the hands of the political extremes and possibly fundamentalist elements. we cannot pull out now, but over time with control.

3,119	6Business & Finance	Where can I get the organization charts of leading banks like CitiBank or HSBC?		A lot of organizations don't publish this kind of information. But a good place to start is the annual report, which will at least have a list of the major divisions/subsidiaries.\n\nThere are also services which in some cases provide this kind of information. Go to your library and ask for a reference book about corporations.

3,124	4Computers & Internet	Does eFax provide a reliable service?		No, not always. We run it as a mission critical part of our business, and there have been hours of downtime in the past two months. We use Ureach as a back up. The upside is, eFax bills monthly, if Ureach did that (instead of hitting our company credit card every $20) then we would probably switch over to Ureach. They have down time, too, but a fraction of eFax. We probably do 4k to 5k inbound faxes a month.
3,125	3Education & Reference	how does the last name walker relate to a profession?		Well, there was that show on the USA Network called "Walker, Texas Ranger" focused on the exploits of a Texas Ranger called Cordell Walker.

3,128	1Science & Mathematics	how do molluscs grow their shells?		Molluscs have an organ known as a mantle. It is the body wall covering beneath the shell. The outer layer of this organ secretes calcium carbonate using calcium from its blood. They can also secrete some proteins which give the shells colors and patterns while the mollusc is living. The inner layer of the shell is composed of nacre, which is a composite of calcium carbonate and organic materials. This is the material that makes the inner part of the shell iridescent, and the coating that makes pearls.
3,129	2Health	I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BIPOLAR OVER A YEAR AGO I STOP TAKIN MY MEDS A MONTH AFTER THAT. SHOULD I TAKE THEM AGAIN		The word "bipolar" is simply a label used to categorise a list of psychosocial traits that Psychiatry considers to be improper or abnormal in society. Psychiatry defines these traits as a "mental illness", and promotes it as a "disease" that requires "treatment".\n\nIt is not a "disease", despite claims or implications made by certain psychiatric or pharmaceutical organisations. There is NO credible scientific evidence that shows the existence of what constitutes "bipolar" as a biological/neurological disorder, brain abnormality or "chemical imbalance".\n\n"For a disease to exist there must be a tangible, objective physical abnormality that can be determined by a test such as, but not limited to, blood or urine test, X-Ray, brain scan or biopsy. All reputable doctors would agree: No physical abnormality, no disease. In psychiatry, no test or brain scan exists to prove that a 'mental disorder' is a physical disease. Disingenuous comparisons between physical and mental illness and medicine are simply part of psychiatry's orchestrated but fraudulent public relations and marketing campaign." Fred Baughman, MD., Neurologist & Pediatric Neurologist.\n\n"Chemical imbalance…it’s a shorthand term really, it’s probably drug industry derived… We don’t have tests because to do it, you’d probably have to take a chunk of brain out of someone - not a good idea." Dr. Mark Graff, Chair of the Committee of Public Affairs for the American Psychiatric Association. July, 2005.\n\nSymptoms that psychiatry labels as "bipolar" (or it's related disorders), can stem from any number of variable sources. Many people, for example, have overcome "bipolar" through megavitamin therapy and effective nutrition. A growing wealth of evidence supports that underlying nutritional deficiencies can cause even the most severe mental disorders, including symptoms labelled as "schizophrenia" [See source refs]\n\nBottom line? Psychiatry is a belief-system, a "faith", not a science. Despite the huge marketing strategies, the so-called "research" and all the propaganda thrown at the world, there is not one iota of scientific evidence that proves that "schizophrenia" or ANY mental illness, in fact, exists as an actual --medical disease--.\n\nIf you have been told differently then know this: You have been lied to.\n\nFor more information, please visit:\n\nhttp://groups.msn.com/psychbusters\nDecoding Psychiatric Propaganda\n\nFor information on non-drug / alternative approaches:\n- http://www.alternativementalhealth.com/articles/default.htm#B\n- http://www.pendulum.org/articles/articles_misc_lisaalt.html\n- http://www.truehope.com/_empowerplus/empowerplus.asp\n- http://www.mentalhealthproject.com/content.asp?id_Content=1575

3,132	3Education & Reference	finding strenght to serve god gives strenght 1st timonthy 1;12-20?	trying to find something about the sunday school lesson	Finding strength to serve God, gives strength to others. Paul used to kill Christians left and right. But because he converted to Christianity, he witnessed to others about his past and became motivation for Christians to give up their evil ways...He also gave strength to those who weren't even Christians to convert to Christianity, because they figured that if God could forgive a man like Paul, certainly they could be forgiven...and just maybe, their lives would make sense...
3,133	4Computers & Internet	Why is my computer unable to load the Zoomable Map on Grokker.com?	What might be the problem?\nhttp://www.grokker.com/	may be your browser is not supported.\n\nI tried to explore it using Firefox and IE and i am able to open by both.
3,134	4Computers & Internet	does anyone know where i can update my bios?		First, you have to find out which is your motherboard exact brand and model. Then, go to its maker's website and look up if there is a new bios version for your specific type and model of motherboard. You will probably have to download the lastest / updated version and run it. Be careful though: follow the instructions very carefully or the process may result in a damaged motherboard.\nI hope this is helpful!\nCheers!

3,139	5Sports	Where are "OneStepAhead" bras? How can I get some?	I used to buy them at Nordstrom's in black or white but they no longer have them. I need that strong and sturdy support in size small ~and supposedly similar bras aren't as good. So I need to find where they are sold locally so I can see in person. Thank you.	Is this a sports question?
3,140	3Education & Reference	ARE TEACHERS REALY SMART OR DO TEY JUST ACT?		Well, teachers are usually specialized in the area that they are teaching. So while they might be smart at one thing, they might not know anything about another subject. This is not to say that teacher's do know all about the subject matter at hand. They learn new things while they teach also. \n\nHere's a bad analogy:\nIt's like reading a book more than two times. You always see more the second time around. Therefore, this effect might take place while teaching from a book.\n\nNow, there are some teachers who don't know how to teach very well, so I guess you might call this an "act." but, I would call it "practice."
3,141	3Education & Reference	My teacher is a royal pain, should i be the worst student?		No. If you are a good student you need to stay that way. If you are looking to get back at the teacher there is nothing better than killing someone with kindness. They do something bad and you do something nice. They don't know what to think and you can't get in trouble for being nice. It is a win win situation.
3,142	6Business & Finance	Should I pay off my mortgage?	My loan amount: $200K\nMy interest rate: 5% for 15 years\n\nCurrently this 200K is invested in 4% tax-free bond, about to end. I could either pay off the mortage or buy another 4% tax-free bond.	I just asked myself this question a couple of months ago. I ran a spread sheet with a side by side comparison of my 6 1/2% 30 year mortgage versus an equal dollar amount invested at 5% for the same term. You would expect to save quite a bit paying off the debt but you actuality save by keeping the mortgage.
3,143	5Sports	I need to adjust my bicycle brakes on my kids bike. When I release the handle one side of the brakes rubs?		This is assuming that the wheels on your son's bike are true (laterally straight and perfectly round).\n\nIf the bike has caliper style brakes, you should be able to center the brakes by taking an open ended box wrench to the centering bolt (commonly 13 mm). This bolt usually sits right behind the spring for the brake calipers.\n\nIf the brakes are cantilevers (mountain bike style, not disc), then you have two options. Some brakes will have a spring tension adjusting bolt on the side of each cantilever (a small, recessed allen bolt). To eliminate the rub, increase the spring tension on the side that is rubbing, or decrease the spring tension on the side that isn't.\n\nIf your cantilevers don't have these bolts, you can do it in a more crude fashion by preloading the spring by pulling the cantilever away from the wheel to try to increase the tension.\n\nGood luck.
3,144	4Computers & Internet	HOW CAN I REMOVE SECURITY ALERT ICON FROM TASK BAR IN WIN XP?		Click on start then goto the control panel.\ndouble-click on the security center.\nclick on 'recommendations' check the box marked\n'I have a .... that I will monitor myself'\nclick 'ok'\nDo this for each thing windows is complaining about.\nThe security alert is there to remind you to make sure your system is updated and secure. Turn this off knowing Windows will never remind you again about your anti-virus, firewall or automatic updates not being activated.\n\nIf you do not see the security center. In the upper left hand corner of the control panel you will see \n'switch to classic view'
3,145	6Business & Finance	If I believe a well-traded stock (on nasdaq) is going to gap open, which call options will have max % gain?	ie how far in the future should I buy & how far out of (at?) the money.\nMy guess is it will depend on the expected gap? Let's say 2-3% above previous day's close.	Closest to expiration and market price will have the most volatility. They are coming out with options that expire every week. If your stock has one of those options contracts, that is your best bet.
3,146	8Family & Relationships	Do you think that there is such a thing as True Love?		yes i do think there is such a thing as true love some were out there
3,147	1Science & Mathematics	how enzymes work, including the role of the enzyme-substrate complex?		Wow... that's a question that could be answered on many different levels, and you're optimistic as hell to think you can get a "real" answer here. Basically, an enzyme provides a micro-enviroment that is very conducive to the formation of an intermediate form that leads from the substrate to the product. Another way of saying this is that an enzyme, like any other catalyst, lowers the activation energy of a reaction.\n\nBut seriously, dude. You're asking for a course in biochemistry here. Try Stryer, or any other classic biochem textbook, for a more thorough answer.
3,148	4Computers & Internet	Is Intel Better or AMD ?	Can anyone tell me whether AMD computers are better or the Intel ones. I was told by somebody that even AMD Sempron does not require any additional graphic card and could play any type of game however high graphics the game may have.	The graphics built into the motherboard is what controls the graphics, not the cpu. Having a fast processor helps, but to play games like half life 2 you would probably still need to buy a separate graphics card. Your computer is only as fast as the weakest link so don't overspend in one area (cpu) and leave another too slow (memory or graphics). For processor speed comparisons check out the link. Look for the benchmarks at the end. The site reviews many different computer parts.
3,149	6Business & Finance	what color would you choose BLUE or red?		RED ... the color of passion. A very uplifting color. Gives you energy.
3,150	9Politics & Government	how does a bill passed by COngress actually physically get to the President to sign?		A printed copy is delivered to the President for his signature. It does not have to be signed to actually become a law. If the President does not VETO the bill, it will automatically become law after a certain time frame.
3,151	6Business & Finance	why is there such a need for a daycare in the country today and the percentage of women with children in dayca	why is it important to have a daycare? what is the number or percentage of parents working with children in a daycare center?	There is a high need for daycare in the US because so many families have two parents that work. Someone has to watch the children while the parents are at work unless there is an older child to care for them until mom or dad come home.

Gilead Sciences invented the drug but sold it to Roche. After all the pressure Roche is finally agreeing to allow other drug companies to make the drug.

3,157	6Business & Finance	how can i win the love of christ?		A bit more direct to the point ...\n\nJesus Christ - 'God with us' in human form - offers His love freely to all who will accept it.\n\nThere is no 'winning' to it.\n\nIn fact, if we could ever 'win' God's love through good deeds or anything else, then Jesus' death on the Cross would have been unnecessary.\n\nHe freely demonstrates & offers His love; we must choose to accept it and begin a relationship with Him. (Through personal prayer, reading the bible, worship, etc.)\n\nreferences ...\n\n"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our lord"\n- Romans 6:23\n\n"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith ... not by works ..."\nEphesians 2:8\n\nand many others
3,158	6Business & Finance	What is the best way to get gum out of hair?		1. Put ice cubes in a plastic bag.\n \n2. Apply ice cubes to gum until gum freezes and hardens.\n \n3. Gently break gum away from the hair.\n \n4. If the freezing method fails, apply a small amount of nontoxic oil, such as canola or olive oil, to hair around gum and to gum itself.\n \n5. Massage oil into hair and gum; leave for 20 minutes.\n \n6. Gently comb out gum. It should slide out easily. If it doesn't, repeat the process.\n\nBoy I hope this helps, I didn't know about this method before!!!
3,159	6Business & Finance	what is a cost report?	In accounting, what is a cost report (like for a nursing home or a hospital)?	Reports that "provide an up-to-date record of commitments and expenditure within budgets so that unexpected over/under run costs do not result, ensuring that all transactions are properly recorded and authorised and, where appropriate, decisions are justified."\n\nAccording to the site I found:\n\n"Reports show cost forecasts for each approval stage, supplemented by evidence that costs achieve value for money – that is, they reflect the most economically advantageous price compatible with the specified quality; reports provide an accurate and timely summary of full and proper accounts that monitor all transactions, payments and changes relating to the project."\n\nThe site also says that reports contain:\n\nCost center code/description\nApproved budget\nExpenditure to date\n% complete\nEstimated final cost\nVariation + or (-)
3,160	7Entertainment & Music	Complete List Of Top100 Rock Songs?	I need a list of 1000 popular Rock n Roll hit songs with the Musician\nname and Band Name since 1980.\n\nPlease use only Rock n Roll songs. Nothing off the Country, Hip Hop,\nR&B, or Jazz charts please\n\nThe list needs to be made up of songs that have been in Billboard's\ntop 100 over the last 20 years and must be in simple txt format with\none song per line:\n\nEach song must be capitilized like this:\n\n(Example:)\n\nIt's only Rock' N Roll Mick Jagger Rolling Stones\n\nDream On Steven Tyler Aerosmith\n\nFoxey Lady Jimi Hendrix\n\n...And so forth	I don't think the complete information you're seeking is available online for free. At least not legitimately. Billboard has quite a lucrative business selling this information in books and on CDs.\n\nHere's the current Hot 100: \nhttp://www.billboard.biz/bb/biz/currentcharts/currentsingles.jsp\n\nHere's where you can buy their book of #1 hits: \nhttp://www.orderbillboard.com/ProductsList.aspx?WG=9

3,164	4Computers & Internet	Is it safe to over clock my PSP?	& if not what are the dangers & warning signs?\nIs this common sense, or is there evidence of it causing problems?	Well Ambiguous Error, its not safe to overclock your PSP. Not by any hardware modification I know of, anyway. A few months after the PSP was released, Sony said that their 333Mhz CPU was actually underclocked to 222Mhz for some reason unknown other than Sony. If this was a hardware cap I would just jump in and...er..regularclock it, but sadly it's not a hardware cap that's doing this, the software is. Sony still hasn't said why there's a cap on it's CPU, possibly to save battery life or to stop from overheating. Hopefully there will be some kind of flaw in a newer version of the PSP to exploit and clock the PSP to its true potential, or a game that won't underclock it just for battery life or an extra 2 degrees of heat.
3,165	9Politics & Government	which branch of the military is the toughest?		Marines!

3,170	1Science & Mathematics	How many elements have been ethier discovered or created in laboratories by scientists?		Most of the elements have been either discovered by scientists or created by scientists. Only a choice few have been known since antiquity -- usually ones that are found in their elemental state in nature or are easy to isolate from compounds (usually ores). These are iron, copper, tin, lead, silver, gold, and mercury. \n\nSome of the elements were discovered by people you might not consider scientists. For example, Albertus Magnus was the first to isolate arsenic. He was a theologian and philosopher in the 13th century, but also researched alchemy, long before true "scientific" methods were established -- would you count arsenic as being discovered by a scientist? It's kind of a gray area.
3,171	2Health	what causes chlamedya?		chlamydia is an STD (sexually transmitted disease) that can damage a woman's reproductive organs\n\n"Chlamydia can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Chlamydia can also be passed from an infected mother to her baby during vaginal childbirth.\n\nAny sexually active person can be infected with chlamydia. The greater the number of sex partners, the greater the risk of infection. Because the cervix (opening to the uterus) of teenage girls and young women is not fully matured, they are at particularly high risk for infection if sexually active. Since chlamydia can be transmitted by oral or anal sex, men who have sex with men are also at risk for chlamydial infection."

3,175	1Science & Mathematics	How much does a pound of feathers weigh?	This is a tough one!	To nitpick (we all love to do that) very accurate weight measurements (for example in a lab) must be taken in a total vacuum or otherwise compensated for the bouyancy of air. For example how much does a hot air balloon weigh? It depends on whether it is cold on the ground or hot in the air; where it would have negative weight. So a pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of bricks if weighed in a vacuum because their densities (weight per volume) are greatly different. But only you know if this was a trick question. Good luck.
3,176	4Computers & Internet	In light of the proliferation of the Internet, are there any BBS still operating?	A BBS (Bulletin Board System) is a computer that other computers would connect to via modem. VBBS and Wildcat were popular types of software to run these communites where users could gather to download files, play games, or socialize before the Internet. I'm curious if any of these are still in operation.	Yes. Most of which are run by old hackers who do not post stuff to the net.
3,177	2Health	how many times can a person go through Defibrillation?		Your focusing on the wrong end here...the body can handle as many times as it needs to, in order to get the heart pumping to keep the body alive. The heart failing is far more a concern than the defib. The defib, you can think of it like a jump start, for a low battery. \n\nBypass surgery is a major event for the body to handle, but coding in the care of professionals in the ICU is a far better situation, neurologically speaking, than coding in the field. Quick rescusitation with a code team at bedside, means your loved one will probably continue to adequately perfuse the brain with needed oxygenated blood to prevent permanent brain damage. \n\nI wish you and your family the best of luck.

However, when I drag documents from anywhere else (desktop, other folders, etc) and let go, it proceeds to copy them. I don't want this - I want them to default to "move" versus copy.

3,188	6Business & Finance	where natural digits 0123456789 are coming from?		In mathematics, a natural number is either a positive integer (1, 2, 3, 4, ...) or a non-negative integer (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...). The former definition is generally used in number theory, while the latter is preferred in set theory and computer science.\n\nNatural numbers have two main purposes: they can be used for counting ("there are 3 apples on the table"), and they can be used for ordering ("this is the 3rd largest city in the country"). The natural numbers developed with some difficulty. The Peano postulates state conditions that any successful definition must satisfy. Certain constructions show that, given set theory, models of the Peano postulates must exist.\n\nPeano axioms\nThere is a natural number 0. \nEvery natural number a has a natural number successor, denoted by S(a). \nThere is no natural number whose successor is 0. \nDistinct natural numbers have distinct successors: if a ≠ b, then S(a) ≠ S(b). \nIf a property is possessed by 0 and also by the successor of every natural number which possesses it, then it is possessed by all natural numbers. (This postulate ensures that the proof technique of mathematical induction is valid.)

Developing babies need a balanced diet and it is absolutely a must that they recieve all they nutrients they need - including those from meat and dairy - to ensure proper brain development. If you are planning to become pregnant make sure to talk to your doctor to find out how exactly to supplement your diet so that your child will develop properly.

3,198	5Sports	Will the Mets win their division in 2006?		although it's no guarantee, it looks like the mets have a great shot at winning the nl east in 2006.\n\nthe 2005 standings:\n\natlanta: 90-72\nphilly: 88-74\nmets: 83-79\nflorida: 83-79\nwash: 81-81\n\nnow, washington performed well above what was expected of them, as they gave up 30 more runs than they scored. florida has traded all of their talent for prospects. therefore, those 2 teams are likely not going to win the division.\n\natlanta lost their leadoff batter and sparkplug rafael furcal and replaced him with edgar renteria, who was great two years ago but does not provide the same offensive or defensive weapons that furcal does. atlanta also got a monster year out of andruw jones, who likely will not repeat that performance. also, the braves lost their closer, kyle farnsworth, to the yankees and will likely go with chris reitsma, who was good but not great last year in limited duty. however, the young players on the braves roster such as jeff francoeur, adam laroche, and ryan langerhans should develop further. also, a full season of former mvp chipper jones would be helpful. that leaves the braves with a good chance to win 90 games again. \n\nthe phillies traded jim thome to the white sox for aaron rowand, which improves their team even though i feel they should have gotten more for thome. with a shot at first base for a full season, ryan howard should put up some incredible numbers. chase utley, their 2nd baseman, should also leap to stardom this year. however, the phillies other big star, bobby abreu, wants to be traded, and that most likely means that the phils will not get full value for him. lastly, they lost their elite closer, billy wagner, to the mets. tom gordon, though he's old, should be a serviceable replacement, but will not be as lights-out as wagner. unless brett myers becomes consistent and shows he can be an ace, the phillies pitching staff is comprised basically of a #2 starter, 3 #3 starters and a #4. many teams would be happy with that pitching staff, but it doesn't win the division for you.\n\nthat leaves the mets. the mets record last year was worse than it should have been, as they scored many more runs than they gave up. trading for carlos delgado to replace the worst 1b positional output in the majors will be a big boost. signing wagner to close instead of the shaky braden looper will help a lot as well, as looper blew 8 of 36 save chances. add in the continued development of david wright, who exploded at the end of last season, and jose reyes, as well as a bounceback year for center fielder carlos beltran, and the mets look very good up and down. paul lo duca should provide similar numbers to last year's fading mike piazza, but should also stay healthy, as the mets backup, ramon castro, is solid and should play every fourth game or so. the mike cameron-xavier nady trade made a lot of people say "huh?", but it's actually good for the mets, as victor diaz has proven himself worthy of a shot to play in right field every day. if jae seo gets a chance to start for the full season and performs like he did at the end of last season, he will be a solid #2 pitcher. problems could include the aging of tom glavine and steve trachsel, the inconsistency of kris benson, and the lack of bullpen depth. i'm not convinced that uber-GM omar minaya won't get his team more help in the bullpen, with rumors abound that the mets wish to sign danys baez, the devil rays all-star closer, to set up for wagner.\n\nall in all, this mets team could win 100 games and take the nl east easily.

how do molluscs grow their shells?

Molluscs have an organ known as a mantle. It is the body wall covering beneath the shell. The outer layer of this organ secretes calcium carbonate using calcium from its blood. They can also secrete some proteins which give the shells colors and patterns while the mollusc is living. The inner layer of the shell is composed of nacre, which is a composite of calcium carbonate and organic materials. This is the material that makes the inner part of the shell iridescent, and the coating that makes pearls.

I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BIPOLAR OVER A YEAR AGO I STOP TAKIN MY MEDS A MONTH AFTER THAT. SHOULD I TAKE THEM AGAIN

The word "bipolar" is simply a label used to categorise a list of psychosocial traits that Psychiatry considers to be improper or abnormal in society. Psychiatry defines these traits as a "mental illness", and promotes it as a "disease" that requires "treatment".\n\nIt is not a "disease", despite claims or implications made by certain psychiatric or pharmaceutical organisations. There is NO credible scientific evidence that shows the existence of what constitutes "bipolar" as a biological/neurological disorder, brain abnormality or "chemical imbalance".\n\n"For a disease to exist there must be a tangible, objective physical abnormality that can be determined by a test such as, but not limited to, blood or urine test, X-Ray, brain scan or biopsy. All reputable doctors would agree: No physical abnormality, no disease. In psychiatry, no test or brain scan exists to prove that a 'mental disorder' is a physical disease. Disingenuous comparisons between physical and mental illness and medicine are simply part of psychiatry's orchestrated but fraudulent public relations and marketing campaign." Fred Baughman, MD., Neurologist & Pediatric Neurologist.\n\n"Chemical imbalance…it’s a shorthand term really, it’s probably drug industry derived… We don’t have tests because to do it, you’d probably have to take a chunk of brain out of someone - not a good idea." Dr. Mark Graff, Chair of the Committee of Public Affairs for the American Psychiatric Association. July, 2005.\n\nSymptoms that psychiatry labels as "bipolar" (or it's related disorders), can stem from any number of variable sources. Many people, for example, have overcome "bipolar" through megavitamin therapy and effective nutrition. A growing wealth of evidence supports that underlying nutritional deficiencies can cause even the most severe mental disorders, including symptoms labelled as "schizophrenia" [See source refs]\n\nBottom line? Psychiatry is a belief-system, a "faith", not a science. Despite the huge marketing strategies, the so-called "research" and all the propaganda thrown at the world, there is not one iota of scientific evidence that proves that "schizophrenia" or ANY mental illness, in fact, exists as an actual --medical disease--.\n\nIf you have been told differently then know this: You have been lied to.\n\nFor more information, please visit:\n\nhttp://groups.msn.com/psychbusters\nDecoding Psychiatric Propaganda\n\nFor information on non-drug / alternative approaches:\n- http://www.alternativementalhealth.com/articles/default.htm#B\n- http://www.pendulum.org/articles/articles_misc_lisaalt.html\n- http://www.truehope.com/_empowerplus/empowerplus.asp\n- http://www.mentalhealthproject.com/content.asp?id_Content=1575

finding strenght to serve god gives strenght 1st timonthy 1;12-20?

trying to find something about the sunday school lesson

Finding strength to serve God, gives strength to others. Paul used to kill Christians left and right. But because he converted to Christianity, he witnessed to others about his past and became motivation for Christians to give up their evil ways...He also gave strength to those who weren't even Christians to convert to Christianity, because they figured that if God could forgive a man like Paul, certainly they could be forgiven...and just maybe, their lives would make sense...

First, you have to find out which is your motherboard exact brand and model. Then, go to its maker's website and look up if there is a new bios version for your specific type and model of motherboard. You will probably have to download the lastest / updated version and run it. Be careful though: follow the instructions very carefully or the process may result in a damaged motherboard.\nI hope this is helpful!\nCheers!

ARE TEACHERS REALY SMART OR DO TEY JUST ACT?

Well, teachers are usually specialized in the area that they are teaching. So while they might be smart at one thing, they might not know anything about another subject. This is not to say that teacher's do know all about the subject matter at hand. They learn new things while they teach also. \n\nHere's a bad analogy:\nIt's like reading a book more than two times. You always see more the second time around. Therefore, this effect might take place while teaching from a book.\n\nNow, there are some teachers who don't know how to teach very well, so I guess you might call this an "act." but, I would call it "practice."

Should I pay off my mortgage?

My loan amount: $200K\nMy interest rate: 5% for 15 years\n\nCurrently this 200K is invested in 4% tax-free bond, about to end. I could either pay off the mortage or buy another 4% tax-free bond.

I just asked myself this question a couple of months ago. I ran a spread sheet with a side by side comparison of my 6 1/2% 30 year mortgage versus an equal dollar amount invested at 5% for the same term. You would expect to save quite a bit paying off the debt but you actuality save by keeping the mortgage.

I need to adjust my bicycle brakes on my kids bike. When I release the handle one side of the brakes rubs?

This is assuming that the wheels on your son's bike are true (laterally straight and perfectly round).\n\nIf the bike has caliper style brakes, you should be able to center the brakes by taking an open ended box wrench to the centering bolt (commonly 13 mm). This bolt usually sits right behind the spring for the brake calipers.\n\nIf the brakes are cantilevers (mountain bike style, not disc), then you have two options. Some brakes will have a spring tension adjusting bolt on the side of each cantilever (a small, recessed allen bolt). To eliminate the rub, increase the spring tension on the side that is rubbing, or decrease the spring tension on the side that isn't.\n\nIf your cantilevers don't have these bolts, you can do it in a more crude fashion by preloading the spring by pulling the cantilever away from the wheel to try to increase the tension.\n\nGood luck.

Is Intel Better or AMD ?

Can anyone tell me whether AMD computers are better or the Intel ones. I was told by somebody that even AMD Sempron does not require any additional graphic card and could play any type of game however high graphics the game may have.

The graphics built into the motherboard is what controls the graphics, not the cpu. Having a fast processor helps, but to play games like half life 2 you would probably still need to buy a separate graphics card. Your computer is only as fast as the weakest link so don't overspend in one area (cpu) and leave another too slow (memory or graphics). For processor speed comparisons check out the link.

Well Ambiguous Error, its not safe to overclock your PSP. Not by any hardware modification I know of, anyway. A few months after the PSP was released, Sony said that their 333Mhz CPU was actually underclocked to 222Mhz for some reason unknown other than Sony. If this was a hardware cap I would just jump in and...er..regularclock it, but sadly it's not a hardware cap that's doing this, the software is. Sony still hasn't said why there's a cap on it's CPU, possibly to save battery life or to stop from overheating. Hopefully there will be some kind of flaw in a newer version of the PSP to exploit and clock the PSP to its true potential, or a game that won't underclock it just for battery life or an extra 2 degrees of heat.

Most of the elements have been either discovered by scientists or created by scientists. Only a choice few have been known since antiquity -- usually ones that are found in their elemental state in nature or are easy to isolate from compounds (usually ores). These are iron, copper, tin, lead, silver, gold, and mercury. \n\nSome of the elements were discovered by people you might not consider scientists. For example, Albertus Magnus was the first to isolate arsenic. He was a theologian and philosopher in the 13th century, but also researched alchemy, long before true "scientific" methods were established -- would you count arsenic as being discovered by a scientist?

chlamydia is an STD (sexually transmitted disease) that can damage a woman's reproductive organs\n\n"Chlamydia can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Chlamydia can also be passed from an infected mother to her baby during vaginal childbirth.\n\nAny sexually active person can be infected with chlamydia. The greater the number of sex partners, the greater the risk of infection. Because the cervix (opening to the uterus) of teenage girls and young women is not fully matured, they are at particularly high risk for infection if sexually active. Since chlamydia can be transmitted by oral or anal sex, men who have sex with men are also at risk for chlamydial infection."

How much does a pound of feathers weigh?

This is a tough one!

To nitpick (we all love to do that) very accurate weight measurements (for example in a lab) must be taken in a total vacuum or otherwise compensated for the bouyancy of air. For example how much does a hot air balloon weigh? It depends on whether it is cold on the ground or hot in the air; where it would have negative weight. So a pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of bricks if weighed in a vacuum because their densities (weight per volume) are greatly different. But only you know if this was a trick question.

The defib, you can think of it like a jump start, for a low battery. \n\nBypass surgery is a major event for the body to handle, but coding in the care of professionals in the ICU is a far better situation, neurologically speaking, than coding in the field.

where natural digits 0123456789 are coming from?

In mathematics, a natural number is either a positive integer (1, 2, 3, 4, ...) or a non-negative integer (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...). The former definition is generally used in number theory, while the latter is preferred in set theory and computer science.\n\nNatural numbers have two main purposes: they can be used for counting ("there are 3 apples on the table"), and they can be used for ordering ("this is the 3rd largest city in the country"). The natural numbers developed with some difficulty. The Peano postulates state conditions that any successful definition must satisfy. Certain constructions show that, given set theory, models of the Peano postulates must exist.\n\nPeano axioms\nThere is a natural number 0. \nEvery natural number a has a natural number successor, denoted by S(a). \nThere is no natural number whose successor is 0. \nDistinct natural numbers have distinct successors: if a ≠ b, then S(a) ≠ S(b). \nIf a property is possessed by 0 and also by the successor of every natural number which possesses it, then it is possessed by all natural numbers. (This postulate ensures that the proof technique of mathematical induction is valid.)

although it's no guarantee, it looks like the mets have a great shot at winning the nl east in 2006.\n\nthe 2005 standings:\n\natlanta: 90-72\nphilly: 88-74\nmets: 83-79\nflorida: 83-79\nwash: 81-81\n\nnow, washington performed well above what was expected of them, as they gave up 30 more runs than they scored. florida has traded all of their talent for prospects. therefore, those 2 teams are likely not going to win the division.\n\natlanta lost their leadoff batter and sparkplug rafael furcal and replaced him with edgar renteria, who was great two years ago but does not provide the same offensive or defensive weapons that furcal does. atlanta also got a monster year out of andruw jones, who likely will not repeat that performance. also, the braves lost their closer, kyle farnsworth, to the yankees and will likely go with chris reitsma, who was good but not great last year in limited duty. however, the young players on the braves roster such as jeff francoeur, adam laroche, and ryan langerhans should develop further. also, a full season of former mvp chipper jones would be helpful. that leaves the braves with a good chance to win 90 games again. \n\nthe phillies traded jim thome to the white sox for aaron rowand, which improves their team even though i feel they should have gotten more for thome. with a shot at first base for a full season, ryan howard should put up some incredible numbers. chase utley, their 2nd baseman, should also leap to stardom this year. however, the phillies other big star, bobby abreu, wants to be traded, and that most likely means that the phils will not get full value for him. lastly, they lost their elite closer, billy wagner, to the mets. tom gordon, though he's old, should be a serviceable replacement, but will not be as lights-out as wagner. unless brett myers becomes consistent and shows he can be an ace, the phillies pitching staff is comprised basically of a #2 starter, 3 #3 starters and a #4. many teams would be happy with that pitching staff, but it doesn't win the division for you.\n\nthat leaves the mets. the mets record last year was worse than it should have been, as they scored many more runs than they gave up. trading for carlos delgado to replace the worst 1b positional output in the majors will be a big boost. signing wagner to close instead of the shaky braden looper will help a lot as well, as looper blew 8 of 36 save chances. add in the continued development of david wright, who exploded at the end of last season, and jose reyes, as well as a bounceback year for center fielder carlos beltran, and the mets look very good up and down. paul lo duca should provide similar numbers to last year's fading mike piazza, but should also stay healthy, as the mets backup, ramon castro, is solid and should play every fourth game or so. the mike cameron-xavier nady trade made a lot of people say "huh?", but it's actually good for the mets, as victor diaz has proven himself worthy of a shot to play in right field every day. if jae seo gets a chance to start for the full season and performs like he did at the end of last season, he will be a solid #2 pitcher. problems could include the aging of tom glavine and steve trachsel, the inconsistency of kris benson, and the lack of bullpen depth. i'm not convinced that uber-GM omar minaya won't get his team more help in the bullpen, with rumors abound that the mets wish to sign danys baez, the devil rays all-star closer, to set up for wagner.\n\nall in all, this mets team could win 100 games and take the nl east easily.

Can u suggest a good book for advanced C/C++ programming?

I have read C programming by Dennis Ritchie but the info's givenn in it are old and also doesntt tell much abt C++.. Plz help to get to the next level

I always recommend Bjarne Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language", third edition. It cuts straight to the meat of what is different between C and C++ instead of messing around with arrays of char like most tutorials do.
