[ "Formal Charge vs. Resonance Structures?", "You always want to place the formal charges in the places they will spend the most time--hence, the formal charges are what you'd draw up first, based generally on the electronegativity and stability of the place. The resonance structures are just to give you an idea as to where the electrons might wander over to.\\n\\nTechnically, all the Lewis structures are just to help you understand the charges. In reality, the elecetrons are constantly moving about, with their locations only localized by a probabilistic model. The formal charges are indicative of the highest probability that a given electron will be found, while the resonance structures are the less probable locations to find the electron." ]

If the story speaks to you or is just plain entertaining, the movie did it's job no matter how old the viewer is. Don't children watch movies aimed for older people? My cousin's son, who is four, loves \"Godzilla\". My favorite movie when I was a child was \"Dirty Dancing\".\\nAnd what about the classic children films, \"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory\", \"Wizard of Oz\", or any Disney film.

[ "movie based on 3 brothers in prison & is a type of western where 1 brother is a butcher?", "It is the hard word\\n\\nFirst-time director Scott Roberts gets it pretty right with this inyaface Aussie crime caper about three brothers who are just too good.at what they love best: robbing banks.\\n\\nGuy Pearce leads the Twentyman brothers as sort of mastermind Dale. He’s in jail and Rachel Griffiths is his unlikely moll wife who seems to be in bed with conniving lawyer Frank (Robert Taylor). \\n\\nThe scam is simple. The boys get snuck out of jail to pull their heists and everyone from the cops to the prison governor are cut in. Until Frankie decides he wants it all, including the lady- and there’ll be no witnesses.\\n\\nIt’s funny, black and rather surreal. Naturalism buffs will not adore this as much as looser-limbed viewers. But it’s helter-skelter action and remarkably little violence. Strong language though as you’d expect from a writer whose other film was the batty Denis Hopper vehicle The American Way in 1987.\\n\\nOne lovely touch totally misunderstood by almost every critic so far is the family argot based on butcher’s slang which the lads use to keep their personal stuff, er, personal.\\nIf you could handle Chopper you will like this and ignore the spoilsport bourgeois critics of the national press when they come to savage it!" ]

The reason you get financial aid is so that you can survive throughout the semster and pay for classes. After the classes are paid for that money should be used for books, clothes, school necesities, food, rent etc. \\nI always would get my check buy books, then have a couple rent checks make out ( cashier checks) and then use the rest for stuff I needed. Sorry my answer is so long. As always with anything check directly with your school before listening to me on yahoo! Good luck!" ]

They are video based, and you can access them for $25/month (access the entire library for that much, not just a single tutorial). I whole heartedly reccomend this.\\n\\nIf you are looking for a more solid Dreamweaver education, the Sitepoint network has excellent publications on Dreamweaver.\\n\\nIf your looking for the basics, and free, I would suggest Learnthat.com. It covers how to get started in DW, and general basics.\\n\\nOf course, the built-in guides and tutorials in dreamweaver itself are very good, I can wholeheartedly suggest those as well.\\n\\nGood Luck." ]

[ "Does temperature increase or decrease when Snow Falls?", "Before it begins to snow, the system begins to cool the air down to ground level. As this happens, moisture in the ground moves up into the weather system, and eventually mixes with the already cold water, ect within the cloud. As the snow begins to fall, the temprature drops for a short period of time, and then stabilizes. \\n\\nThis stabilization happens so that the snow can continue to fall without turning into ice. On average, winter snow will fall between 14 F and 30 F. However, it is possible for snow to fall at lower tempratures, however you will see an increase in temprature to have snow fall.\\n\\nNot all snow falls, however, fall within that temprature range. Area's such as alaska, greenland, siberia, ect, can have snow even when it is much much colder. However, the general rule still applies: snow fall equels an increase in temprature untill a stabilization point has been reached.\\n\\nSnow that falls within the normal range is usualy wet snow, ie it is snow that is mixed with a bit of melted snow (water vapor), thus causing it to be heavy snow.\\n\\nSnow that falls below the temprature range tends to be dry snow, ie, snow that has completely frozen over.\\n\\nDry snow can be a major problem as it doesn't allow for the stabilization to occure at a quick rate, instead, blizzards, huge snow storms, ect, can take effect before the storm system actually stabilizes.\\n\\nHope that made sens\e" ]

[ "Does FDR deserve credit for ending the Depression?", "Most definitely. As the leader of the United States during arguably the most difficult time of our history, he pushed Congress to pass emergency bills and reform measures that helped improve the economic situation in the eyes of the public. Though many historians say the beginning of World War II ended the Depression, I think that if it weren't for FDR's leadership, American morale would have fell too far to possibly recover economically." ]

[ "Why does Dell customer service suck so bad?", "Just as a note to the last individual: yah, Canadians ARE so freakin nice, Dell does not outsource to Canada (has Dell-owned call centers in Canada), and many of the call centers in India are, also, not outsourced.\\n\\n Maybe your question could be more specific. What happened? WHY are you abandoning Dell? I work for Dell's DOC department, in a NON-OUTSOURCED Canadian call center, and I know Michael Dell cares A LOT about what his consumers think. He will often monitor calls himself or even take calls. \\n\\nMost large companies, espically those that outsource, have a difficult time controlling ALL of their employees and making sure they are representing the company as a concerned and understanding individual. To handle the flow of calls, so you are not waiting hours to speak to someone, requires a great deal of man-power; the more people you have between the top and the front line, the more difficult it is to ensure everyone is upholding your principles. How far did you go with your experience? Maybe you should try writing to Michael Dell to let him know your concerns. \\n\\nI find, at least as far as technical support, that some customers have expectations that are unrealistic. Many people think that because you bought -insert the name of any software product made by another company here- with their computer, that Dell should provide support for it. Think about it, if you buy Norton Antivirus from BestBuy, do you complain to them about Norton not working and expect them to fix it? Not likely. you contact the manufacture who is specialised in it. Many people have problems with their systems due to spyware and adware programs, but dont know they need to install anti-spyware software and do not recognise the symptoms. My question is, where you looking for free assistance with a DELL MANUFACTURED PRODUCT? \\n\\nI am not speaking on behalf of Dell here, but meerly my own experiences and how I look at our service. I would, at least, suggest contacting Michael Dell prior to giving up on Dell completely. I know that we DO hear feed back from him regarding both positive and negative customer experiences.\\n\\nPS: I have worked for other major comuter manufacturers and I must say Dell is NOT the worst in the industry, by far. The most important statistic agents are graded on here is customer experience, not call time as it is for most (forcing customers through as fast as possible to take more calls)." ]

[ "How does global warming affect weather?", "Though it may sound crazy, global warming can cause an Ice Age. You see, there's an underwater wall keeping the super-cold water of the Arctic Ocean out of the a lot warmer water of the Alantic Ocean. Global warming makes this wall dissolve, letting the cold water meet the warmer water, overall lowering the temperature of the oceans. Meanwhile, the glaciers start to melt and slide. Now that the oceans aren't as warm, the glacierscan continue to move south and cover a chunk of the Northern Hemisphere in ice. In short, an ice age.\\n\\nHowever, ice cores are showing that global warming isn't as bad as we thought. the ice cores show that the average global temperature 100,000 years ago would go up and down by 10 degrees in a matter of decades. In comparison, our global warming is warming at a rate of 1 degree per century. Is global warming going to cause the next Ice Age? Or are threats empty? YOu decide." ]

[ "are chiropractors real doctors?", "Doctors of Chiropractic receive extensive, demanding professional education on par with medical doctors (MDs) and osteopaths (DOs).\\nTo receive the doctor of chiropractic degree, candidates must complete extensive undergraduate prerequisites and four years of graduate-level instruction and internship at an accredited chiropractic institution. Comprehensive knowledge of all systems of the body and diagnostic procedures enable the DC to thoroughly evaluate a patient, address disorders relating to the spine and determine the need for referral to another health care provider.\\n\\nDoctors of Chiropractic are primary health care providers.\\nAccording to the Center for Studies in Health Policy, \"The DC can provide all three levels of primary care interventions and therefore is a primary care provider, as are MDs and DOs. The doctor of chiropractic is a gatekeeper to the health care system and an independent practitioner who provides primary care services. The DC's office is a direct access portal of entry to the full scope of service.\"\\n\\nDoctors of Chiropractic are licensed in all 50 states.\\nDCs have been licensed and recognized for many decades in all states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.\\n\\nChiropractic is recognized by governmental health care programs.\\nChiropractic is included in Medicare, Medicaid, Federal Employees Health Care Benefits Programs, Federal Workers' Compensation and all state workers' compensation programs. Chiropractic students are qualified to receive federal student loan assistance and DCs are authorized to be commissioned as health care officers in the U.S. Armed Forces.\\n\\nThe practice of chiropractic is based on sound scientific principles.\\nThe existence of the nervous system as the primary control mechanism of the body is an undisputed scientific fact. Its relationship with the spine is the focus of the practice of chiropractic. The spine develops in utero to provide two primary functions: (1) allow for freedom of movement and (2) house and protect the spinal cord. When the vertebrae of the spine become misaligned through trauma or repetitive injury, two major consequences will result: (1) the range of motion becomes limited and (2) spinal nerves emerging from the spinal cord are compromised. DCs use the term \"subluxation\" to describe such disruptions. Interruption of nerve flow can eventually lead to pain, disability, and an overall decrease in the quality of life. Conversely, the removal of that interference has been shown to have significant, lasting health benefits. Through the adjustment of the subluxation, the doctor of chiropractic endeavors to restore normal nerve expression. The body is then able to respond appropriately to any imbalance in the system, thus relieving symptoms and restoring health.\\n\\nDoctors of chiropractic provide effective, low-cost health care for a wide range of conditions.\\nStudies conducted according to the highest scientific standards and published by organizations not affiliated in any way with chiropractic institutions or associations continue to show the clinical appropriateness and effectiveness of chiropractic care. One of the most recent, funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health, stated emphatically that:\\n\\n\"On the evidence, particularly the most scientifically valid clinical studies, spinal manipulation applied by chiropractors is shown to be more effective than alternative treatments for low back pain...There would be highly significant cost savings if more management of low back pain was transferred from physician to chiropractors.\"\\n\\nThe doctor of chiropractic is an effective source of preventative and wellness care.\\nThe anatomical focus of the DC on the human spine has created the perception of the DC as just a \"back doctor.\" Although this perception is not entirely incorrect, it is very much incomplete. Doctors of chiropractic are a highly appropriate resource in matters of work-place safety, st" ]

[ "What are the odds of a man catching HIV while having unprotected sex (oral and vaginally)?", "The following numbers are old, and they're all pretty much guesswork anyway, so take them with a grain of salt. But I venture to say most people in the field would agree with my conclusions.\\n\\nAccording to a report by researchers Norman Hearst and Stephen Hulley in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the odds of a heterosexual becoming infected with AIDS after one episode of penile-vaginal intercourse with someone in a non-high-risk group without a condom are one in 5 million. With a condom it's even safer--one in 50 million. Just to put this in perspective, the chances of someone in your family getting injured next year in a bubble bath are 1 in 1.3 million (source: The Odds on Virtually Everything, Heron House, 1980). You're in much greater danger of being struck by lightning (1 in 600,000), having your house bombed (1 in 290,000), or being murdered (1 in 11,000).\\n\\nThe numbers get a lot worse if you engage in \"high-risk behavior\"--having sexual intercourse or sharing needles with a member of a high-risk group, e.g., a gay or bisexual male or IV drug user from a major metro area, or a hemophiliac. The chances of getting AIDS from one such encounter range as high as 1 in 10,000 using a condom to 1 in 1,000 unprotected. Even if your partner tests negative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the chances of infection from a high-risk person are still relatively high--1 in 50,000 without a condom. That's because there's a 45 to 90 day window during which a newly infected person can infect others but test negative. (A few people go as long as 180 days.)\\n\\nFrom there on out, statistically speaking, things deteriorate pretty fast. If your partner is HIV-positive, your chances of getting AIDS after one night are 1 in 5,000 with a condom, 1 in 500 without. Have sex with an HIV-positive partner 500 times using condoms and your chances escalate to 1 in 11. Skip the gift wrap and they're 2 in 3.\\n\\nA couple points: These odds apply equally to men and women. Although there's reason to believe male-to-female AIDS transmission happens more often than female-to-male, the amount of difference is unknown. Also, I have to emphasize again, the numbers involve a lot of guesswork. The authors admit they could be off by a factor of ten in either direction. Still, one message comes through loud and clear: by far the best thing you can do to avoid AIDS is to be picky about your partners. Use of condoms reduces your risk by a factor of 10, sleeping only with people who test negative reduces it by a factor of 5 to 50, but avoiding high-risk partners reduces it by a factor of 5,000. (You'd also be well advised to avoid high-risk behavior, such as unprotected receptive anal sex.) Asking for a resume may not be romantic, but it beats Kaposi's sarcoma." ]
