There are two typical ways of getting MP3s onto your computer. You either download them from some website, or you get them from a regular (store-bought or borrowed) CD. But wait! there

Why is color blindness more frequent in boys?

February 27th, 2009 No comments

The reason is the gene is located on the X-chromosome. Since men only posses one X-chromosome they are more likely to be affected as they only need to have 1 defective gene. Considering women have 2 X-chromosomes they would need to have the defective gene on BOTH chromosomes to suffer from colour blindness.

As for the above responses: Women have 2 X-chromosomes there is no garuntee which one she pass to her son, so the only way a women will know for sure if she is passing on colour blindness to her son/daughter is if she herself is colour blind (ie 2 defective genes)

How do people play fantasy football?

February 27th, 2009 No comments

how do you play fantasy football? fantasy draft? is it the same as pokemon or yugioh? can u bet money on it? who dictates who wins? wouldnt all the teams be different? is there a super computer who takes your fantasy drafted team and pit it against another fantasy team and then tells you the results?

Best Answer – Chosen by Voters

To play fantasy football is easy, you either draft people in a live draft held by your league and there is a actual clock and actual players that you can choose from, an offline draft where the commisioner puts in the results of the draft, or either a autopick draft where a SUPERCOMPUTER does pick players to be on your fantasy team. The winner is the one usually with the better team, and the one that knows how to manage the team(ie. pickup, drop players, bench, etc.) The players that are drafted accumulate points during the week in several categories that are set in the league. In Yahoo, there are two ways where a league can be set, Head to Head, where two managers in a league put their two teams together, each week, and the players of the teams try to get more points in different categories than the other team, such as more TDs, more yards, things like that, and the winner is the one with the most categories won, hence the name, Head to Head. And the other way is Points Only, where players on the teams try to gain points, and what determines the place that they are in is how many points that they have.

How do you make falafel the Egyptian way?

February 27th, 2009 No comments

Ingredients:

* 2 cups broken beans (foul madshoosh)

* 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley

* 1/4 cup finely chopped coriander

* 1/4 cup finely chopped dill

* 1 cup finely chopped green onions

* 1/2 cup finely chopped onion (1 small onion)

* 2 tb finely chopped garlic

* 1 1/2 – 2 tsp salt, or to taste

* 1/2 tsp pepper, or to taste

* 1 tsp dry coriander powder

* chili powder (optional)

* sesame seeds

* oil for frying

Instructions:

Place the beans in a large bowl of water and rinse several times until the water is clear. Fill the bowl with at least 6 cups of water, cover and allow them to soak for 2 to 3 days.

Wash the greens and dry well, this makes them easier to chop. Remove the tough parts of the stem and then finely chop the leaves and the remaining delicate stems. Measure the greens after they are chopped, but do not pack them down into the cup.

Wash the green onions and chop both the white onion part and the green stem. Chop the onion and garlic.

Drain the beans and grind very fine. If you are grinding the beans in a food processor, turn the machine on empty and slowly drop through the tube onto the moving blade. Place the beans in a bowl and set aside. Add the greens, onions and garlic to the processor, blend well. Add the mashed beans to the processor and process until the mixture looks green.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the spices and baking soda, mix everything until well blended. Cover the bowl and let sit for at least 30 minutes. The longer the better so the flavors blend. If you do not cook all the batter, cover and store in the refrigerator.

Heat a medium saute pan, when hot add 1/2 inch of oil and heat until it is hot, lower the heat slightly.

To shape the patties, take a large soup spoon and fill the bowl of the spoon with some of the batter, pressing it firmly into the spoon. Sprinkle the top with sesame seeds and then push it off the spoon into the hot oil. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until it has turned brown. Turn the patties over and cook again 2 to 3 minutes or until brown. Remove from the oil to a paper towel to drain.

What is the difference between Quakers and Mennonites?

February 27th, 2009 No comments

I am interested in finding out more about the Christian religious groups that are anti-war.

Both Mennonites (or Anabaptists) and Quakers (Friends Society) are peace faiths born out of a movement of groups who objected to basic tenets of the Church of England. While both are borne of a Christian history, not all Quakers now are Christian (I am such
