next president= democrat or republican?

state what you think then state what party you agree with the most.\n\ni think the next president should be republican but with all the properganda these days- it will be democrat.

It will be a Republican. The Democrats won't even win mid-term elections. They can't even decide among themselves on what they believe in. Even James Carville, a huge Democratic political advisor, is concerned. He even said so on Sean Hannity last week on the radio. \n\nAnybody that says our economy is terrible and that the war in Iraq is a waste and is going badly are victims of listening to what the liberal biased media is spewing. Instead they need to get their heads out of the liberal sand and look around. A little research would go a long way as well.\n\nReality matters....vote Republican!!!

Why do the television commercials seem louder than the program that you're watching?

I am constantly reducing the volume on my TV when a commercial begins and then raising it again to hear the program.

what does virginity mean to you?

does virginity important to you?\nis it virginity important to women only?\nwill you marry someone is not virgin?

My virgintiy was important to me. Me and my fiance gave our virginity to each other and we considered it to be the most precious and beautiful thing that we could give each other. It is very special to us that we lost our virginity to each other. I hav found myself and (i know some of my friends feel the same), that when you lose your virginity to someone, it is as if a bond almost a blood bond has been formed between you both. and no matter what else you do, it will always be with you.\n\nVirginity should be equally important to men, i believe it is to many men but they are loathed to admit it because of the way they have been socialised.\n\nIf I loved someone and they were not a virgin i would marry them if they loved me but I would much prefer the situation I currently have. I am lucky to be marrying the man who i lost my virginity to and who lost his virginity to me.

how about this for motivation: your future employers are looking for people who will get the work done (thoroughly and in a timely manner). \n\nyou don't think so? if you look at any job application, you will be asked where you went to high school.... they want to know what kind of student you were. by that they will guage you on your performance while working for them. finally, consider this: who will get hired if it came down to a "d" student and an "a" student?

some women can train themselves to orgasm without moving a finger, just by thinking of a great sexual experience.\n\nMaybe you had some tremendous sexual experience that you somehow in your mind associated with an orange, so now oranges trigger those memories and sensations. So I'm not saying it's impossible. It's definitely plausible.

How to record PC screen activity using firewire to miniDV camera?

I'm talking screen activity here, NOT videos already saved to disk in a common format. (streaming video would be nice though also). What program/ workaround is there out there? for the CAMERA please, not just an ordinary screen capture program.

Well, there isn't a program to do that linearly.\n\nThe closest you can get is use Camtasia (30 day FULL trial) to record screen activity. Camtasia is also a great video editor.\n\nIf you save your video (avi, mov, mpeg), you can then open it with Windows Movie Maker and record back onto your miniDV tape.\n\n(You mentioned streaming video. Just a note: a screen capture program can not capture a video that's playing on your computer. It's a weird hardware-type issue.)\n\nGood Luck

Installing a 2nd hard drive and DVD drive in Linux?

I have physically installed them, I just need to know what I need to do in Linux to start using those 2 new drives

Assuming the hard drive is correctly installed, it should show up as a device in /dev. For example, if your first hard drive was /dev/hda, the second will likely be /dev/hdb.\n\nTake a look at /etc/fstab to see the device mappings. You'll probably see entries for /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2, and so on. Those are the partitions on /dev/hda.\n\nSo, you need to locate which device file is your new hard disk, partition it, and then format it.\n\nOne way to locate the right device file is to just try /dev/hdb and so on as arguments to fdisk until you guess the right one. Another way is to do something like dmesg | grep hd and see what the system found when it booted.\n\nOnce you know that, the Linux Partitioning HOWTO should lead you through the rest.\nhttp://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/\n\nOnce you have partitioned and formatted the disk, you then need to mount it somewhere in your filesystem tree so you can use it. Where you mount it is really up to you. Once you've decided, make a directory in the appropriate place, and test mounting with something like\n\nmount -t reiserfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/newhd\n\nwhere reiserfs is the filesystem you chose when you formatted, /dev/hdb1 is the first partition of disk /dev/hdb, and /mnt/newhd is where to mount the disk.\n\nIf it works and you're happy, add an entry to /etc/fstab (cribbing from one of the existing ones and changing the path and device file) so it'll mount on startup.\n\nThe process for the DVD drive is much the same, except of course there's no partitioning and formatting. You locate which device it is (by trial and error or by examining dmesg or by using cdrecord -scanbus), then create a directory such as /mnt/dvdrom, and write an entry in /etc/fstab.

will a person die if he/she drinks a dextrose which patients use in hospitals?

The question is not very specific - however, here goes - "dextrose" is sugar water. The percentage of "sugar" versus "water" is usually listed on the container. Normally, it is 5% (the type that is used in hospitals). That means that the water is saturated with sugar (up to 5% of the mixture being sugar). That is not a huge amount of sugar. However, there is always someone, with certain types of diseases (i.e. diabetes) that can be affected by "dextrose" in a "bad" way. Therefore, my answer would be, "yes" certain persons could "die if he/she drinks "dextrose" which patients use in hospitals"! But that answer could depend on lots of variables!!!!

how sure are you that there is no God ?

0% - 100% ?

100%\n\n\n\n\nSome Unmistakable Signs of the Creator\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe live in an amazing universe. It is a universe peculiarly balanced, and purposefully tempered as if to provide a safe host for living creatures.\n\nAccording to modern astronomers, the universe is expanding. They hold that if gravity had been only slightly stronger, it would have overtaken expansion very early and caused the universe to collapse. Had gravity been slightly weaker, universe expansion would have become a runaway process, not allowing time for the formation of galaxies and stars.\n\nIf either of these had occurred, there would never have been an Earth on which creatures could live. This universe seems designed, even meticulously tailored to provide suitable conditions for living. If other basic ratios and constants had been just slightly different, the universe would not have been favourable to our existence.\n\nIf, for instance, the strong and weak nuclear forces were slightly stronger relative to the electromagnetic forces, hydrogen would not exist in its ordinary form. This would mean that heavier elements, such as carbon and oxygen - two of the essential building blocks of life - would never have existed.\n\nThe strength of gravity is crucial to the existence of life in the universe in another way. If it were weaker, then it could not crush the material in a star the size of the Sun with enough force to ignite its thermonuclear reactions. Only very massive stars would shine, and such stars would probably have too short lifespan to allow for the development of life.\n\nThese indications that the universe has been arranged to favour the appearance and survival of life has been taken very seriously by certain scientists. Prominent among them is astronomer Brandon Carter. Modern science estimates that it has taken 4 billion years for human beings to evolve from unicellular life forms. Carter has calculated that the average period for any evolution of this magnitude should take much longer - about 10 billion years. That is longer than the lifespan of a Sun-sized star, and much longer than the period of life-favourable conditions on Earth.\n\nIt would seem that intelligent life appeared on Earth despite its high improbability. We are again pulled towards recognizing the Creator.\n\nSigns for the Aware\n164. Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of the night and day, and the sailing of ships through the ocean for the profit of mankind, and the water which Allah sends down from the skies, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing therein all kinds of beasts, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds subjugated between heaven and earth: are signs for people who have sense.\n\n(Qur'an 2:164)

What's a good, 5 day a week cardio plan?

I try to work out five days a week for an hour at the gym. I usually cycle for 15 minutes to warm up, use the epliptical trainer for 20 minutes, walk/run for 20 minutes, and then cool down for 10 or so minutes. I was wondering if anyone had any alternative cardio programmes they find effective?\nAlso, is it advisable to stick with one machine for a long period of time, or to switch between different machines for shorter periods of time?

If you're going to the gym anyway, then I'd recommend cutting back on your cardio to maybe 30min each visit (but make sure you're working hard enough to sweat profusely), and replace the other 30 minutes (or so) with weights (30min) and stretching (5min or so).\n\nFor the cardio portion, consider 2 machines for 15min each, but skip the cycle entirely. go with treadmill, rowing (if available), and elliptical. Do the elliptical or rowing first, and 'warm up' for the first 5 minutes. 5min 'cool down' at the end is plenty before you move on to the weights. The stretching at the end is when you completely cool down.\n\nCheck out "Hot Point Fitness" for suggestions on all specifics for cardio, weights, stretching.

Hello. I am too a Breast Cancer survivor. Try asking some friends or family to host a benefit for you. I helped with one that raised well over $10,000 by having a spaghetti feed, raffle, and silent auction. It was awesome. You can get local businesses to donate items and food etc. Talk to some of your family and/or friends.

how does biotic factors are benefited by carbon dioxide,water and temperature?

plz tell me some points.

Biotic factors include the plants, animals, fungi, bacteria and any other living things that live in an area. Categories include: \n\nProducers or autotrophs make their own food. Producers, such as plants, make food through a process called photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide and water to make sugar. This food is used by the plant for its own energy or may be eaten by consumers. \nConsumers or heterotrophs need to eat food that autotrophs have produced. There are different types of consumers. Herbivores eat plants. Carnivores eat animals. Omnivores eat both plants and animals. \nDecomposers are heterotrophs that break down dead tissue and waste products. They play a very important role in the ecosystem because they recycle nutrients. Bacteria and fungi are decomposers. \n\nTemperature - the ability to withstand extremes in temperature varies widely among plants & animals \nAnimals respond to variation in temperature both physiologically and behaviorally. Birds and mammals are endotherms ('hot-blooded') & maintain relatively high body temperatures using the heat by their own metabolism. Other animals (such as reptiles, amphibians, fish, & insects) are called ectotherms & their body temperatures are largely set by the ambient (surrounding) temperature. \nEctotherms - use sources of heat such as solar radiation (direct and indirect) & conduction to help adjust their body temperature \nEndotherms - may maintain body temperature by: \nchanging the position of fur or feathers (like the Carolina Chickadee below) \nsweating & panting \nshivering \nbehavioral means such as seeking shade or water, burrowing, or varying periods of activity \nEndotherms - may avoid extended periods of low or high temperatures by hibernating or estivating \nHibernation - winter dormancy \nEstivation - summer dormancy \ncommon among some desert animals (permits conservation of water)\n\nWater \nprecipitation determines, along with mean temperature, the world-wide distribution of biomes \nPrimary problem for plants in areas like deserts is a lack of water. Plants adapted for arid conditions include: \nXerophytes, such as cacti (pictured below) and joshua trees, that usually have special means of storing and conserving water. They often have few or no leaves, which reduces transpiration. \nPhreatophytes - plants that grow extremely long roots, allowing them to acquire moisture at or near the water table.

Can you help with saving an endangered bird?

The Blue Crane (Anthropoides paradisea) is a critically endangered bird in South Africa.\n\nA 10 hectare plot with a seasonal wetland is for sale to the north of Pretoria. In a good year 3 pairs of blue cranes breed there. If I can raise $135 000 I can buy the plot and fence the wetland to protect the cranes. I have the equivelent of $15 000 that I will contribute to start the project.\n\nThe questions I have are:\n1.) What should I sell on e-bay to raise the money? No invoicing would be done unless the money can be raised. The options that I can think of are:\na.) A share in a trust owning the plot\nb.) A framed certificate recording the donation\nc.) A free lifetime access pass to stay in a chalet on the plot\nd.) Your suggestion\n\n2.) What is a reasonable charge for a share?\na.) $50\nb.) $100\nc.) $1000 \nd.) Your suggestion\n\n3.) Would you support an initiative like this?\nYes or No\n \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Crane

I am guessing that this is on South Africa. The first thing I would do, find out if there is a way to make it an endangered species wetland with the government. There are many ways to tie up the sales of property with this type of maneuver. Getting an injunction against the sale of the property is one way to do it. Then I would find out if you can get it marked as a wetland park.\n\nTo buy the property is noble, but is it enough property that it will not be affected by other properties in the area. Most wetlands must be at least 2 kilometers square to keep the effects from adjacent properties to a minimum. \n\nAs for your questions, selling partial ownership can cause some major problems, as not everyone has the same idea about what should be done, and no one person will be able to have majority control, even though that may be the way it is set up. Life memberships are an interesting idea for a resort, but that will adversely affect what you are trying to do. A certificate is a great thing, but people want more involvement than that. My suggestion is selling memberships for a group cause. A membership, say $20, may get more interest than someone who was spending $100 or more. Make it an annual membership, that way there is always an interest in people doing some good, plus the annual funds will help in the upkeep of the lands. Just make sure to send them a calander or something. I would support that, but make it an international non-profit agency, it has more appeal to people.

What the difference between the Loctite colours?

First, to understand a threadlocker. It is an anaerobic product which essentially means it cures in the absence of air and presence of an active metal. Loctite has several colors for various products. In this case, the "Blue" is considered the "medium strength / removeable" ( available in a liquid or a semi-solid stick, similar to a chapstick. The medium strength can be removed with hand tools. The "Red" is the "High strength" which requires heat to remove, also available in the liquid and semi-solid. There are also wicking grade versions as well as numerous versions of threadlockers for specific applications. A Loctite PRIMER is recommended for use with all threadlockers to not only clean the parts but to speed cure on Inactive Metal surfaces.

Who do you think would have won the World Series in 1994 if the baseball season was not cancelled?

I have an article by Wikipedia that could be an assistance to you;\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_in_baseball \n\nI think that if the 1994 Major League Baseball Strike did not occur, the 1994 World Series would have been between the American League Champions New York Yankees and the National League Champions Montreal Expos and the Expons would have won the series in six games.

Good question. Remember that the '94 Yankees were not the same "dynasty", Derek Jeter coverboy Yankees to which we've all, unfortunately, grown accustomed -- '94 was the first year after many VERY bad years that the Yankees were again a true contender, so I'm not really sure how they would have handled the postseason. Plus, '94 was to be the first year with the wildcard added to the playoffs, so who knows what would have happened. And the '95 Yankees weren't yet polished enough even to beat Seattle. As for the '94 Expos? Well, this sounds strange to say now, but pre-'94, the Expos actually were a decent team with an okay attendance figure from the late 80s until then. But like the '94 Yankees, they were a team that hadn't come near the playoffs in years. So, there's actually a good chance that neither team would even have made it to the world series.\n\nThe real weird thing about it is that the strike year, in retrospect, seems like a major turning point in the game -- the two best teams were comprised of one that would go on to spending record amounts of $$ year after year in pursuit of the title (I can't fault them only, though, since they weren't the only team doing spending so much) and another team that saw its payroll quickly diminish more and more year after year, eventually forced into relocation. You can't really get two more disparate teams then the Expos and Yankees -- yet in '94 the economic factor hadn't yet become too great a divide.

Unless you are living in place where woman are tortured or killed for having sex before marriage, fess up to your husband. You never know, he might like the fact that you are experienced! If the guy knows anything about the female body and virgins, he may expect you to bleed a bit the first time having sex so if you didn't/don't then he might question it but if you need to lie (for the above reason) just reassure him that not all women have hymens so perhaps yours was broken by a tampon, trauma or injury, or some other reason. \nYou have to do what ever makes you feel safe.

Complete the square is referring to having a problem like \ny=16x^2 + 64x + 5\nor something similiar where factoring is not possible.\nYou can then take the equation & change it like so\ny=16(x^2 + 4x + ____) + 5 \nNotice that this equation is still the same as before, but it has been re-arranged. Now, notice that if you add 4 you can then reduce what is inside of perentheses to (x+2)^2\ny=16(x^2 + 4x + 4 - 4) + 5 \n\nNotice that since you added 4 and subtracted 4, you have done nothing\n\nNow, you can factor the (x^2 + 4x + 4)=(x+2)^2\n\ny=16((x+2)^2 - 4) + 5\n\nDistribute 16 \n\ny=16(x+2)^2 + 5 - 64\n\ny=16(x+2)^2 - 59 \n\nThis represents the same equation that you had at the beginning but can be a much easier form to work with.\n\nWe started with\ny=16x^2 + 64x + 5 \n x=2,y=197 & (0,5)\nand wound up with\ny=16(x+2)^2 - 59 \n x=2,y=197 & (0,5)\nPoints just to show they are equal equations.\n\n\nThis is very useful in math.
