» Why is the sky blue and the ocan clear when u put it in a cup?
why is the sky blue and the ocan clear when u put it in a cup?cuz god made itHaha, finally someone asks a good question on this subject. Most people will think they are intelligently saying that the sky is blue because it reflects off the ocean, but it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the ocean. It's an effect called Rayleigh Scattering. Light refracts when it goes through prisms, or basically breaks up into all the colors. This is why a rainbow appears too, because water particles act as prisms. So in the atmosphere, light refracts, and the longer wavelengths like the blues and violets bounce around from all the gases and particles in the atmosphere, and the rest passes through as white light. So when the blues and violets bou...... - 2010-03-07

» How come England can produce a true #10?
Folks..I dont mean to challenge here but over the years I have noticed that England has not developed a #10 playmaker along the lines of a Pele, Zico, Maradona, Valderrama, 0rtega, Del Piero, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ron Gaucho, Juninho Paulisto, Figo, Z.Z. etc.. It seems from the outside that England tends to punish creative players..Rix, Hoddle, Waddle, Alan Hudson, Rodney Marsch, LeTessier..etc.. The closest they have come to a true #10 is Gazza in recent memory..I always laugh when I see that England wants Scholes to be the playmaker..he does not have the visison or the skills to play in that position.. In Latin America they seem to grow them on trees..see Pablo Aimar, Saviola, Tevez, among others.. So, what is going on?..Can this ...... - 2010-03-07
» Overall, is it good or bad for the US of A if?
the price of gas and oil continues to fall? thank you for your consideration. jimOur entire economy is based upon energy, and oil is the lubrication that greases the gears of productivity. The prices fluctuate within the market due to output and consumption. Both of these variables are currently subject to power players within the industry around the world due to American reliance on foreign oil. Falling prices reflect a 'glut' of oil, meaning that output has exceeded consumption rates around the world. Counter measures will be taken by power blocks - primarily OPEC - in order to increase the price for a barrel of oil, as they will reduce output so that the market corrects. The root of the question; is it good or bad for the U.S...... - 2010-03-07

With the exception of my first - I got really attached to her in a very short time, was devastated when she was adopted, and was elated when she was returned to the rescue 4 months later because the family decided they didn't really want a dog. I've had her back for over 6 years now!Its always hard.

» Why fresh water organisms such as paramecium excrete so much water? ?
And is that the process called active transport?Paramecium contain a contractile vacuole which aids in excretion by expelling excess water and some nitrogenous waste. In fresh water, the inside of cells has a higher concentration of salt than the surrounding water, and water constantly enters the cell by osmosis. Radiating canals in Paramecium collect excess water from the cell and deposit it in the contractile vacuole, which squeezes it out through a pore on the surface. This process requires energy supplied by ATP produced in the cell's mitochondria. Yes, this is active transport since it requires energy. ...... - 2010-03-07

You don't need my permission for anything. It sounds like you are just bitter and frustrated because you cannot logically defend your god-belief. That's hardly my fault, pumpkin. Just because you have an opinion does not make you right or reasonable. If you could find a way to explain why your religious delusion was reasonable I think you'd have posted it along with this question. you're "allowed" to believe whatever you want, but the p...... - 2010-03-07

I'm making a sugar cookie recipe, but I'm not sure if cream of tartar is completely necessary. Here's the link to the specific recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Cracked-Sug...Yes. You need an acidic ingredient to activate the baking soda. Cream of tartar IS the acidic ingredient. Otherwise, you'd need something else, like buttermilk. Both of these recipes do not use acidic ingredients except for the cream of tartar. Tracy is right but she failed to mention that you would need to eliminate the baking soda, also.

» Defense: Conceding space.
I think this may be a missing link in the defense of my team, even though we play with a sweeper the teams we always play against do pretty much nothing but knock throughballs on us. The sweeper will have a 1 v. 1 situation all the way to the goal, he loses sometimes. To prevent long over-the-top throughballs conceding the space is an option correct? B/c the less space they have to pass into the more likely the goalie will get it and the more likely it is for the sweeper to stay right with his man since the striker will not just be able to do a full sprint towards the goal. Now, I do not (clearly) have a complete understanding of conceding the space to prevent throughballs, but shouldn't we drop back in a situation like this for example...... - 2010-03-07

» Is there a grace period for insurance when you buy a new truck?
The standard policy covers newly acquired vehicles automatically for 30 days, but don't put off calling in the new truck; it's awfully easy to forget doing it, and after 30 days, it's no longer covered. The dealer will probably insist on verifying your insurance anyway, just to protect themselves and you.Yes. The grace period runs from the moment you sign the papers until you drive the truck the first time. Do not drive anything without insurance. Period. The moment you know what you are buying, contact your agent and give him the information. Once you sign the papers call him with the VIN and he will fax your card to the dealer.Andrea J, There are tons of websites where you can get an online quote. http://www.goodi...... - 2010-03-07

I think the question contradicts itself. If you don't like someone than it is because you see something in that person that turns you off. Someone have to attract you before you can find the things he does amusing. I think the fact that you can be turned off and amused by someone in a positive way is almost nul. But you can be turned off by the things someone does and also be amused by the things someone does in a empathatic way. Laugh because the person doesn't know better or doesn't realise his mistakes.

why is the sky blue and the ocan clear when u put it in a cup?cuz god made itHaha, finally someone asks a good question on this subject. Most people will think they are intelligently saying that the sky is blue because it reflects off the ocean, but it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the ocean. It's an effect called Rayleigh Scattering. Light refracts when it goes through prisms, or basically breaks up into all the colors. This is why a rainbow appears too, because water particles act as prisms. So in the atmosphere, light refracts, and the longer wavelengths like the blues and violets bounce around from all the gases and particles in the atmosphere, and the rest passes through as white light. So when the blues and violets bou...... - 2010-03-07

The prices fluctuate within the market due to output and consumption. Both of these variables are currently subject to power players within the industry around the world due to American reliance on foreign oil. Falling prices reflect a 'glut' of oil, meaning that output has exceeded consumption rates around the world. Counter measures will be taken by power blocks - primarily OPEC - in order to increase the price for a barrel of oil, as they will reduce output so that the market corrects.

And is that the process called active transport?Paramecium contain a contractile vacuole which aids in excretion by expelling excess water and some nitrogenous waste. In fresh water, the inside of cells has a higher concentration of salt than the surrounding water, and water constantly enters the cell by osmosis. Radiating canals in Paramecium collect excess water from the cell and deposit it in the contractile vacuole, which squeezes it out through a pore on the surface. This process requires energy supplied by ATP produced in the cell's mitochondria. Yes, this is active transport since it requires energy. ...... - 2010-03-07

THE Northern Echo carries an interview with George Boateng in which the Dutch international warns Premiership defenders to watch out for Michael Ricketts next season. "There are many reasons that I am confident about Middlesbrough’s prospects next season and one of those is Michael Ricketts," he tells the paper. He adds: "I feel there is much to come from Michael when he gets back to full fitness. "In training I can see how much ability he has but injuries have prevented him from showing that on the pitch." The Journal reports on the England international ticket sales, reflecting that the game has received the "wholehearted" backing of the Teesside public after 24,000 tickets were snapped up in 53 minutes yesterday.

Hi, I want to buy a vbulletin to create a community in Spanish language but I´m afraid of the non-official builds cause the other day I registered on a big vb spanish forum and I found some frontend bugs, but I don´t know if they had applied some kind of mod or just a languaje pack(faulty?). The most recent Spanish language pack I have found is for 3.5.0 version. That will work with 3.5.4? Can I edit every word on that language pack easily? Is there some risk with a language pack?

If atheists are making up FSM just to prove a point, then since they admit to making it up, I don't see their point.The point being made here is that anyone can make up a religion. Pastafarianism is just as probable as Christianity or Islam or any other established religion - i.e. not really very probable at all. No one believes in FSM. The writer was making a point.

I think this may be a missing link in the defense of my team, even though we play with a sweeper the teams we always play against do pretty much nothing but knock throughballs on us. The sweeper will have a 1 v. 1 situation all the way to the goal, he loses sometimes. To prevent long over-the-top throughballs conceding the space is an option correct? B/c the less space they have to pass into the more likely the goalie will get it and the more likely it is for the sweeper to stay right with his man since the striker will not just be able to do a full sprint towards the goal.

The standard policy covers newly acquired vehicles automatically for 30 days, but don't put off calling in the new truck; it's awfully easy to forget doing it, and after 30 days, it's no longer covered. The dealer will probably insist on verifying your insurance anyway, just to protect themselves and you.Yes. The grace period runs from the moment you sign the papers until you drive the truck the first time. Do not drive anything without insurance. Period. The moment you know what you are buying, contact your agent and give him the information.

That might stop them for a little bit. = )My cats do the same thing. We tried everything we finally ended up having to tie the tree to the wall to keep it from falling over when the cats climb it. And when we see them in the tree we get them out of the tr...... - 2010-03-07
